ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
"Doctor' Shelton

Margaret F., New York.-The DR..
H. M. Shelton, who was scheduled
to speak before the Vegetarian
Workers Club is not a doctor of
medicine. AS far as we know he
is not entitled to the title of DOC
tor" His full name is Herbert M.
Shelton and he has the following
string of initials after his name:
DIP, ND, D.N.T., D.NSc., which do
not mean anything and which the
Doctor" had conferred upon him
self Although he is not a physi-
clan, he has written numerous book
let's and articles and has invented
quite number of cults. His latest
cut is Orthotrophy, non-existing
Science" which is as imaginary as
his titles. He is also the founder"
of the International School of
Orthopathy. This is brand new
medical fake which does not seem
to be doing very well from f1nan-
cial point of view; hence his re-
appearance in New York, where he
is trying to ingratiate himself with
the more gullible working men. He
used to be one of Macfadden's
lackeys in the Physical Culture
Magazine" and the Evening
Graphic"

''They Take Our Corn
for Debt, and We Have
No Bread To Eat''
By Farm Worker Correspondent

By a Farm Worker Correspondent
GOLD HILL, Ala.-They make
us pay "a cents a sack for -four
and 10 cents for white meat and
10 cents for lard; 10 cents for sugar,
25 cents for cotton dry goods and
SIS for work shoes.
We have to work half naked and
barefooted and hungry, and never
see any money, because they only
allow us 30 cents a day for work
and on pay day we owe it all. And
since we can't get any money we
don't even have two cents to pay
our dues.
We have to sell eggs and get seven
cents a dozen. We farmers don't
ever get out of debt. They take
our corn for debt, and we don't have
bread to eat.

Hungry Child of Four
Dies from Poison Diet
Of Plants and Weeds

SEATTLE, May 9-Four-year-old
Angeline d,Ambrose died last week
from poisons contracted when she
persisted in satisfying her hunger
with weeds and shrivelled plants
that grew in her yard.
For more than year Angelo
d'Ambrose, the childs father, had
been unemployed. For the entire
length of time his wife and only
child had been subsisting without
relief. The house reflected all its
wealth in nutrition when investiga-
tors instituted the usual red tape to
find possible criminal action or
neglect. The cupboard had only
half a can of pepper; the mothers

CHICAGO, Ill, May "a. C
Townley, ex-henchman of Milo
R emo, notorious strike breaking
president of the National Farm
Holiday Association, has announced
his candidacy for Congress in the

Townley has a long record of be-

was completely discredited a few
years ago for his activities as head
of the Non-Partisan League in
North Dakota.
In 1888 he was resurrected from
the political scrap heap by Reno,
who used his demagogy about unity
of farmer and worker to divert
militant farmers from the militant
farm movements in the Middle
West Townley was used as a

Reno last spring which was called

BOSSES INJUNCTION AGAINST
STRIKERS

New York City.
Dear Editor:
You reported in Thursdays issue
that an injunction has been taken
out against the strikers at Nathan's
Cafe, 1910 Surf Ave, Coney Island.
I have definite information that
this injunction was obtained by
Nathan through the buying up of
witnesses for $25. These people ap-
peared before the judge and told
deliberate lies about the strikers,
charging them with intimidation of
customers.
One of these rats is the owner
of a drug store on Mermaid Ave,
near 35th st. This man had never
been near Nathan's, for he is al
ways in the store, and yet he signed
an affidavit accusing the strikers
of intimidation.

Comrade Helen Luke:

Comrade Helen Luke:
In the upper Bronx the parents
of children attending P. S. 96 are
organizing a Parent and Teachers
Association with the help of the
Women's Councils in that neigh
bcrhocd.
Certain things have happened
between the authorities Of this
school, and the parents, which had
a bad reaction on the children.
These issues demand strong Or
ganization with the right leadership
to be able to safeguard the happi-
ness Of the child in school. For
example:
Mrs. Freedman, a member CT our
council. brings lunch to her child
because the doctor advises as little
exercise for this child as possible.
The other clay it happened to rain
ct lunch hour and the mother
stepped in the vestibule of the
school for shelter.
The assistant principal, Miss
Seccre, told her to step cut as she
did rot allow any mothers in the
school while the children were
being dismissed. The mother ex-
planned that she was not in their
passageway and that it was rain
ing and that she had no UNI
breila.
Upon the refusal Of the mother
to be ordered cut of the school,
Miss Secore turned the children
about face ard dismissed them
through another exit. The mother
was told that her child would be
kent in school till l o'clock and
not allowed 10 return to school
any more.
Can ycu imagine how this mother
felt when she realized that her
child was kept in locked yard,
alcne, until the hour when she
would be allowed out. The poor
child did not understand what was
happening to her: that she was
being punished for something she
did not do.
To revenge herself on the mother
who refused to expose herself to
the rain at her command, Miss Sc
ccre punished the child, depriving
her Of lunch, and kept her locked
up in yard.
This is only one Of these kind of
experiences; there are a number
could relate, where the mechanical
discipline Of the school hinders and
does not help the child's psychology
in the school.

the Parents organization will be
held May 10 (today) in the schcoI

CREDIT HELPS THE UssR

Little Falls, N. j.
Some time ago the Daily Worker
carried a small item in its foreign
news on page two about the U.S.S.R.
having established a credit with
Sweden. AS new reader of your
paper and not fully acquainted
with Communism I misunderstood
this, and took it for granted that
the U. S. S. r. was slowly turning
back to the old capitalist system.
A friend of mine explained to me
why those credit systems are used.
A few other readers may have this
same misunderstanding which is
harmful to the movement.
A few lines of explanation under
meath such a piece would be of help
to the new reader I hope my sug-
gestion is not out of place. Thanks
