BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

nNE of the greatest benefactions you can make is
~ a contribution to the national endeavor toward
reclamation of the physically handicapped.
In few weeks, the nation will again join the
birthday of President Roosevelt in great effort to
raise funds for rehabilitation of the crippled. Social
service is finding that it is more valuable to help
disabled person obtain suitable to his disability
than to carry him along charity
The fact that a person is physically deformed
should not depreciate from his opportunities in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson had a fragile body af-
ficted with tuberculosis yet he contributed marvel
ously to letters. Sir Walter Scott was crippled from
youth by infantile paralysis yet his name is one Of
the greatest in English literature.
John Milton blind, and Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, the girl whose life dramatized in
The Barretts of Wimpole Street" suffered from
spinal affection which kept her almost permanently
in bed.
The secretary of the Council on Pharmacy and
Chemistry of the American Medical Assn, Professor
w. A Puckner carried on his work, though blind
from the time when he elected to the position.
CTEINMETZ, poor. grossly deformed boy be-
- came d great scientific genius. One of the most
noted authorities in the United States suf-
fered from youth with an unsightly deformity on
the skin.
America suffers today with great burden of
handicapped whom nevertheless it endeavors con-
stanty to reclaim. There 750oO blind; $4,000
deaf mutes; $1,000 feeble-minded; 10000 epiep-

Throughout the world today famous institutions
being developed in which those deformed or
handicapped have opportunity to take up studies
leading toward a successful career.
The great Smouse Opportunity School in Des
Moines, LETT memorial to that city by a physi-
clan, gives vocational education under beautiful sur
roundings to the deafened, the crippled and those
handicapped in other ways

assailant, gave him time to make
his peace with God and killed him.
VERY little appears in the
' press about it, but the con-
troversy between Cordell Hull,
Secretary of State, and George
Peek, President of the Import
Export Bank, continues to be the
hottest of the many feuds raging
within the administration.
Last week it looked as if Peek
was on top in the foreign trade
see saw. He had negotiated a
deal with Germany whereby she
bought 100000 pounds of Ameri-
can cotton and paid for it, Is
per cent in cash and IS per cent
in German goods.
But now the See-saw is reversed.
Peek is at the bottom again.
Without saying anything about
it. Cordell Hull went over to the
White House ard got the Pres:-
dent to veto the German barter
plan.
Three things were behind the
veto.
One was Hull's good old Jeffer-
sonian theory that trade should
flow on broad lines. unhampered
by quotas, high tariffs and barter
ing agreements.
Another was Chile's protest that
the Peek-German plan meant the
dumping of German nitrates in
the United States underwriting
both the Chilean and American
nitrate industry.
Finally, Hull pointed out that
in Difference to the United States
Brazil had vetoed cotton credits
to Germany only to turn and find
the United States negotiating the
same deal behind her back.
In the end, Cordell Hull, like his
father. got his man.

were disqualified by a blanket or

poration last month limiting future
aid to applications which have
reached the title examination stage,
one of the final steps in the long
process of granting loans
The Hole, the White House and
offices of Senators and Congressman
have been deluged with protests
from home owners who claim to
have been treated unfairly.
Many have offered evidence that
their applications have been on file
since the HOLC was esta blished 10
months ago, but due to the lack of
influence with local officials and for
other reasons they have been forced
to wait, while others, filed later,
were speeded through.
The order limiting loans to ap-
plicationS in advanced stages and
shutting of new applications was
issued when the Holes resources
began to run low and loan requests
exceeding lending power by more
than two billion dollars.
Many of the 100000 disappointed
applicants say they are unable to
get private ref1nancing and will
lose their homes unless given Gov

BY DAVID DIETZ-

DR e. c. DICKINSON professor of economics
- in the University of Michigan, is a man of
great courage. In report to the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers the professor states that
women employees invariably submit lar fewer ideas
for improving manufacturing. production, or man
agement methods than do men.
Prof. Dickinson bases his statement upon a
vey Of the operation of suggestion systems" in 90
establishments He reports that there was "a very
marked difference between the sexes to both
quantity and quality of suggestions" The percent
age Of suggestions submitted by women is invariably
much lower than the percentage of women among
all employees and in most cases smaller percentage
of the suggestions from women win prizes than is
the case among the suggestions from men
Charting the volume of suggestions per employe
in these plants. Prof Dickinson finds that it in
creased in 1880 1929 but that fell in the years
from 1891 to 1888. Whether or not this represents
psychological effect of the beginning and then the
continuance of the depression. he does not say.
Among the plants which he studied is that of the
Eastman Kodak Co. at Rochester n. Y.
THE amount of reward given for suggestions at
i the Eastman plant roughly approXimates 10
per cent of the savings made during the first year
that the suggestion is adopted.
Suggestions received cover wide range of sub
jects he SAYS. These are quoted:
"One was that stuffed owls be put in the ivy COW
erng many of the buildings keep the sparrows out
Another that outside hatch be installed to
facilitate getting heavy grinding wheels into and
out Of basement third was that refrigeration
be discontinued unnecessary in the conditioning
of certain products
TINE first of these three suggestions ignored.
Il The second won its maker SIS. The third
earned its originator $500.
Apparently the system works as So per cent of the
signed suggestions submitted in 1888 were adopted
Most of the unsigned suggestions received are of
trivial nature
Prof Dickinson says that in general suggestions
concerning the comfort or convenience of the en-
poyes themselves few in number. A large per-
centage of the suggestions are aimed at new types of
business for the firm, new products. and ways to
get customers
