THE MOST VALUABLE LIFE
INSURANCE

Some people take better care OF
their automobiles than they do OF
their bodies. If they value their ma
chimes they keep track or the mile
age and listen for the least unusual
sound in the engine or squeaks In
the body. When they have driven a
| number OF miles at which a renewal
OF oil and dope is due. they go back
to the service station and have the
machine well oiled and creased.
Not satisfied with that service, they
take the old bus ever SO often to
a first class mechanic for a thorough
checking over. If they are going of
on a long trip and know that more
work will be required OF the car. they
make an extra effort to have 1t put In
perfect condition before starting on
the journey. They want to be sure
that there will be no trouble or de-
lay, on account OF negligence In pro-
viding before hand against car trou-
BILE.
The very same people who are so
metriculous In their care OF a ma
chine, often go about with some In
sidiOus disease which Is gradually
gaining Roadway In some vital part
OF their bodies. They never suspect
the presence OF the enemy until pain
suddenly yarns them that all Is not
right.
IL the sufferer had taken as much
care OF his body as he did OF his
automobile, he would have gone reg
ularly, at least twice a year. to his
physician for an examination. He
had his automobile gone over at In
tervals and kept 1t In flrst class run
ming order. thus adding years to its
life and usefulness.
His own body he abused and ne
elected. Then when pain warns him,
instead OF his seeking advice from
a reputable physician he often vast
ed valuable time. either by self med1-
cation, or in visiting cultists who
have neither the knowledge or skill
to make a diagnosis.
At last the sufferer goes to a physi-
clan. who has been equipped by years
Of study and experience In caring
for and curing the ills Of the human
body. After a painstaking examina-
tion he may be able to remedy the
trouble by medication. diet or other
therapeutic measures.
Perhaps the doctor may gently and
reluctantly inform him that he will
never be we'll again. 1t Is too late.
he has wasted too much valuable
time. The best that can be done Is
to prolong life a while by more care
full living.
More people are dying between the
ages OF 40 and SO than ever before.
Have yourself examined once SO Of
ten, whether you feel the need OF
1t or not.
Take better care OF your body than
you do OF your automobile. 1t is bet
ter for you to live for the sake of
your family than 1t Is to die and
leave them a large amount of life in
surance.

The Farm Moratorium

President Roosevelt signs the Frazier-Lemke farm
moratorium bill. 1t is the broadest act ever conceived
as a farm measure. 1t recognizes the fact that farm
Indebtedness is at a point where there must be a
scaling down of obligations by agreement of creditor
and debtor and it gives the opportunity.
The bill allows debt-burdened farmers a six-year
moratorium. 1t applies equally to all and in North
Dakota the Bank of North Dakota no longer is a pre-
ferred creditor. It will no longer be necessary to
call out the national guard to halt foreclosures. The
farmer is given the same rights and privileges any
insolvent debtor has under existing laws.
1t is, as Congressman Lemke has pointed out, a
conservation measure just to all. 1t gives the farmer
opportunity to pay his obligations within the limita-
tons of the value OF his property. If agreement can
not be reached on this basis he is given a six-year
moratorium.
The president in signing the bill well points out
that there has been a serious lack of understanding
of its provisions. He believes, as do all who know
them, that the overwhelming majority of farmers will
not evade the payment of debts. It is not a general
or an all-embracingl moratorium privilege.
It's effect should be to restore confidence and in
woke individual initiative resourcefully to meet the
many and vexed problems which confront the Ameri-
can farmer. It will without question set up by force
of indirection a new set Of land values, something that
has long been needed, and it may have a profound
affect on land values for taxation purposes. 1t is by
far the biggest thing government has ever done for
the American farmer. 1t is proof of the sympathetic
attitude of the national administration toward farm
problems and it is effective rebuke to farm leaders
OF the demagogue type who lead farmers nowhere
constructively. N should also give added point to the
whole AAA farm program and induce thought and
study by the Individual, who is all too often led in
his economic thinking by sheer demagogues who ex-
plot him to the last thin dime SO long as there is a
group to listen at a country crossroads or a nickel
available to be deposited in a battered hat
Vision and planning have been invoked for the
farmer and his problems. The bill was first advanced
by Representative McKeown, Oklahoma Democrat. It
is based in the principles of Cancellation and arbitra-
ton. 1t will be assailed as radical legislation, of
course. But it is consistent with the first principle of
true Democracy that when there is conflict between
human rights and property rights, human rights shall
receive first consideration.
The effect in the northwest should be immediate
and constructive. In six years any honest or reason
able man should be able to plan his future and adjust
his debts, especially when as broad a basis is estab-
lished for reasonable agreement as is set up in the
current bill.

Hail to the Latest Radical

Hail to the latest radical. As the standards for
Judging radicals are established by recent develop
ments he is no less a parsonage than Charles r. Ket-
terng, vice president Of the General Motors Corpora
ton. "
MIR. Kettering told Rotary international one day
last week that troubles of the world in the present
emergency will be eliminated by new ideas. He
warned against discrediting new ideas.
Don't be afraid to do things in a new way Just
because they haven't been done that way before" he
said.
Doleful tidings this for the doddering army Of
the opponents of the doctrine of laissez faire.
And think of this:
1T is my opinion that if left to a group of bust
ness men to raise human children the same way they
try to raise industrial children, a child 8 months old
would have to be earning its living"
Such utterances as this from one Of the heads
of one of the country's greatest corporations are breath
taking. And are they radical? You bet!
But they are the kind of radicalism we need be-
cause the Kettering point Of view is based in the
belief that living standards will be increased for all,
that this world will continue to become a better place
to live and that intelligent progress Is the law Of life.

Recovery Well Under Way

Business indices show conclusively that business
recovery is well under way in most sections of the
country. Government is succeeding in a most salts
factory degree in its revolutionary methods of COM
batting the maladjustment resulting from surplus
agricultural production, surplus industrial production,
unemployment and all the other forces that have con-
tributed to depression. #
Walter Lippnan, the greatest and one Of the most
impartial authorities, applies the yardstick to the bust
ness situation and ~cheerfully gives government credit
for having achieved. No more significant appraisal
by no better or more impartial authority could be
made. Lippman is a critic Of the administration and
an appreciated one for he lis a constructive, in direct
contrast to the thousands who ~criticise and complain
but have nothing better to offer than the methods
which are being used to restore normalcy.
Because of drouth and crop failure widespread,
the picture in the middle west is none too rosy. Yet
it is certain that with relief on the scale on which it
is, and understanding of fundamental problems as
warmly human as it is, despite all its troubles the
middle west has every reason to be cheered.
The Herald has often pointed out to its readers
that We live in a time of social revolution; that the
principles Of wise planning and social justice are
working steadily in the body polite. 1t is pleased to
find its views given most positive confirmation in the
current reports of business conditions.

GRUDGE BLAMED
FOR Staying

A two-weeks' old grudge, police

bage.
AS a result, Frank Weinelt is
being held in the Prince Georges
county jail at Upper Marlboro
on a technical charge of investiga.
ton and police prepared to ques-
ton him today.
Mr.. Matt was trimming q
Christmas tree last night when
he was attracted by the sound Of
an automobile horn. When he
approached the car, his assailant
fired a shotgun charge into his
body and quickly fled.
The housekeeper glimpsed the
license tag and got five Of the
six numbers on it. The numbers
do not correspond with those on
Weinelt's car, police said.
To Sergt. Arthur Hepburn and
Policeman Elon Turner she re.
vealed that she had been working
there only two weeks, having been
employed at Weinelt's previously.
The police then visited the lat.
ter's home and found him in bed.
He told police:
"He ought to have been shot,
but didn't do it,"
She is said by police to be heart
broken over the death of her EN-.
ployer.

FUND FEEDS
$4,000

NEW YORK, Dec. IS G.N.S),
Sixteen thousand desolate and
destitute came yesterday for the
Christmas feast Of the New York
American. This remarkable Yule-
tide party was made possible
through contributions Of New
Workers who gave their time and
talents and toll for the sheer JOY
Of giving.
The physical benefactorS were
those-the poor and the lame and
the halt-who filed past hills of
food in the Sixty-ninth Regiment
Armory and packed yawning sacks
with rations for their needy fami-
lies.
Real BenefactOrs
But the real benefactors we're
those who gave it all, for "the gift
without the siver is bare"
It was an orderly crowd that
streamed through the Gank old
building from 8 a. m. until 4 p. m.
It was grateful crowd, unashamed
of its poverty-not cowed by its
plight or begging aims, but 10000
specs of jetsam cast by the tides to
the doorsteps of the fortunate.
Social lights mingled with the
masses, heard the tales Of woe
and offered more than good
wishes. For today they said it
with food-beans and meat and
bread.
There came Mrs. william Ran.
dolph Hearst, Sr., who counts the
Christmas Fund among her
favorite charities. She heard
there were some who did not
have tickets for baskets, so she
directed that 100 tickets be
given in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Lexington Ave. and
Twenty-fifth st.
Funds 9th Year
She watched the crowd flow
past and commented:
"This is the 9th year of the
Christmas Fund. 1t grows
bigger each year. 1t started
first in a little store on
Eighth Ave. From almost
nothing the Fund has grown
into the great charity it is to-
day"
She was too busy for further
comment.
Her daughter.in-law. Mrs. Will
liam Randolph Hearst. Jr.. was
present, aiding the crowd through
the aisles. escorting old women
to the booths.
