In the Hole law, guaranteeing the
= .ooo. oo0O 900 In bonds which the cor
poration may issue to protect hard
pressed home owners.
Before the bill got by, Senator Nor
ris Of Nebraska tackled on an amend
ment which would prohibit political
considerations from playing any part
In tho choice Of employees for this
corporation.
The senate, after much prayer,
fasting and beating Of breasts, adopt
ed this amendment by the margin Of
Just one vote. Then the bill went to
the house, where the banking COM
mittee Immediately struck out the
amendment.
Now there simply Is not any qucs-
ton about the rights and wrongs Of
this amendment. A corporation that
can issue two billions in bonds to
home owners can do q very great
work, II 1t be directed properly: and
1t can accomplish an uncommon
amount Of very ugly phenagling II its
personnel happens to be made up Of
political hacks.
Why, then, did the amendment
have such rough shedding? The an
swer Is plain as a pikestaff. Con-
gressmen need to be able to pass out
jobs to their henchmen to make their
reelection easier. This corporation
offers many new jobs: from the po-
litical viewpoint, 1t would be insane
to pass up this chance for party
profit.
The federal government has taken
on many more activities than 1t ever
INDUCED in before. These activities
touch us all very closely; they affect
our wages, our jobs. the prices we pay
for necessities, the conditions under
which we work. the homes we live in.
It is Of the highest Importance that
they be conducted as efficiently as Is
humanity possible.
II the politicians at Washington
can see In the whole business nothing
but fine new chance to lay their
paws on jobs for deserving Democrats,
the whole business sooner or later Is
going to come down about our ears.

RObbing the Dead

One Of the queerest things to come
to public notice recently Is the fact
that tho trophy case at the tomb OF
the Unknown Soldier in Washington
has been robbed Of the medals pre-
sented to the memory Of the man
who lies within the great marble
sarcophagus.
They consisted largely Of decora-
lions presented to the hero as tokens
Of respect for the possible heroic
deeds Of this symbol Of Americas
loyalty and to the unsung exploits
and heroisms Of his fellows, who will
have no other need Of recognition.
Except q souvenirs they were not
particularly valuable. The metal
which enters into the highest awards
given by the government has little
intrinsic worth. It Is the spirit be-
hind these decorations which counts
And the spirit Is thing which can
not be usurped. A craven may don
the robes Of . hero. but the hero'a
worth does not 60 with them. The
person who stole those trophies has
in them, merely symbol Of his own
shame.
The probability Is that they were
taken by . souvenir hunter. acting

A NICE COOL WASHINGTON
LADY

Writing from Washington, D. c.. In
February. the lady says:
I've taken sun baths whenever
1t was possible ever since you
wrote about them two years ago.
and I haven't had cri since I be-
gan sun bathing. All my life I've
suffered in more or less severity
from September until May, I
think 1t is remarkable for one who
had no immunity to build up i'm
munity on about five hours SUM-
shine week.
The hours spent in absorbing
the ultraviolet need not be idle
ones. I always have sewing or
letter writing to dc when I'm TAX
ing q sun bath. I'm taking one
now. The temperature outside Is
20 degrees, but out of the wind
the sun Is wonderfully BRIGHT and
warm and as I sit here in 1t, UNI
der my open window. I'm perspir-
ing!
I wish I had known the value
Of sunshine 10 years ago, for con-
tinued "coldS-as I called them
before I learned about cri-have
greatly impaired my hearing -.
There is reason to believe that In
fluence Of the ultraviolet rays Of sun
light on the naked skin enables the
body to store up something akin to
vitamin D and perhaps vitamin A
If these are not one and the same
thing. And there IS reason to believe
these vitamins are essential In the
development and maintenance Of nor
NAL immunity against respiratory in
fectiollS.
For years I have been teaching that
the less clothing or covering anybody
wears or uses at any time or In any
circumstance, with due regard for per-
scnal comfort. the better for health.
The old fogies in medicine. public
health and science have unanimously
rejected this teaching as one Of my
strange notions. But the growth Of
nudism, or near-nudism, is evidence,
think, that my notion is not 50
strange or unscientific as some Of
my colleagues or competitors In
health promotion would have the un-
thinking public believe.
Note that this nice cool sensible
and comparatively healthy Washing
ton lady takes her sunbath in or un-
der an open window when the tenn
perature outdoors IS IL below freez-
ing.
In various institutions throughout
the world, notably the Roller hospi-
tai In Switzerland and the Adam
Memorial Hospital at Perrysburg, N
Y children with various forms OF
tuberculosis take their sun baths
naked all winter, play in the snow
wearing only shoes and breechcloth
or lie or sit in the sun uncovered
yet their fine tanned skin feels warm

The NewDeal
Washington

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

~ RODNEY BUTCHER
Tribune Washington Correspondent
Washington, March 27.-1ts Just q
toss-up whether the professional Re-
publicans in congress who ruled 50
arrogantly In the days Of Coolidge and
Hoover were any more odious to cor
respondents here than are the pro-
fessional Democrats In congress to-
day.
Perhaps the present crop Of legis-
lators Is less SNUG, unctuous, and
self-righteous than the unlamented
q. o. p. group. But their greed for
patronage, their blind partisanship,
and their pitifully mean tactics rival
those Of the Republicans after the
Harding landslide.
Respect Of correspondents In the
seething capital therefore is reserved
for the progressives on Capitol Hill
regardless Of party.
The progressives are the one group
VINO do not conceive It their duty to
support the administration on any
and all issues, regardless Of merits Of
the question.
They defend or criticize the admin
istration In accordance with their own
individualistic ideas ut the time
ideas which they insist are based on
the best interests Of the great mass
Of people.
And when we toss bouquets at this
fighting bloc, it naturally brings us
around to the most 'battlesome" OF
them all-Senator George w. Norris Of
Nebraska-and his latest victory over
the Spoilsmen.
It was spectacular and unprece-
dented feat when the silverhaired
Nebraskan persuaded the overwhelm-
ingly Democratic senate to vote that
Ill agents and employees Of the Home
Owners Loan corporation be chosen

Bows and Guns

Pr0IeSClng Cn0t the OlIoS WHICH
frequent her trees were In danger, q
Bismarck woman asks The Tribune
to call attention to the large number
Of boys who, armed with rifles, are
enjoying the Easter vacation by lit
tie promiscuous shooting. Her idea
was that . newspaper might be able
to do something about It.
In that she Is wrong. Any correc-
ton Of abuses which may arise In the
situation suggested must come from
the parents OF the boys rather than
from any outside agency. Children
can hardly be expected to give atten-
ton to public reprimands, vicariously
administered.
It is possible, however, to call the
situation to the attention Of the pub
lie and to suggest, as = matter Of
common sense, that every parent who
gives his son such . toy take time
to instruct him in Its care and use.
For rifle In the hands Of . boy Is
as dangerous as an automobile IN the
hands Of q drunken man. Many Of
tho accidents with which all Of Us
are too familiar are due to careless
ness on the part Of boy which may
be traced directly to carelessness on
the part of his parents.
One of the favorite pastimes Of
boys is to play with toy weapons,
point them at playmates and snap
the trigger. usually to the accompani-
ment Of some blood-curdling threat.
Therein, perhaps. lies the basis for
the numerous deaths which are ex-
planned, after tragedy strikes. by the
lament, II didn't know 1t was loaded.
It is a perfectly natural thing for
anyone handling q weapon to point
it at something. Only by 50 doing
can one get its feel" In view Of
this universal tendency it would be
just as well to teach youngsters to
point weapons at inanimate objects.
But the woman who called the
matter to attention feared for the
safety Of the birds which inhabit her
trees. She has fed them all winter
and enjoys their sprightly company,
as who doesn't, and dislikes the idea
Of having them serve as targets for
our local representatives Of young
America. This, too. Is something
which might well be discussed In the
intimacy Of the family circle. We
have too few birds In this region to
permit their slaughter, even though
they may make excellent targets upon
which to practice.

Students Who Borrow
New York TimeS)

The report Of certain foundation
which has outstanding contracts with
students in more than hundred COL
leges, involving almost 81 .000, 900, fur
nisfes an interesting index of under
graduate financial responsibility The
average college young man or woman
Who enjoys such loans would probably
resent the title which Henrietta Rip
perger has given her article In the
April Atlantic-"The Kept Student"
He Is like any borrower. except that
no collateral Is given or asked" He
Is kept" In no belittling sense. His
credit is also group credit, which he
feels an obligation even beyond the
personal to maintain.
The article discloses marked racial
traits within the general group, but 1t
is gratifying to note that the average
American undergraduate makes a
fairly good showing. HE exhibits
very little deliberate dishonesty" And
the records show very little difference
between the performance Of men in
paying debts and that Of women. THE
war made thousands Of ladies into
women, and the depression CARED on
the process" They have as women
become as good risks" as men. but
the woman author of the article
makes no claim that they are better.
No figures are given concerning stu
dents who 60 into business, but among
professional men 1t is found that en-
gineers are the best pay. This is at
tributed to their having to deal with
hard facts and their living under q
tradition Of achievement. At the
other extreme in the matter Of repay
ments are ministers. The first cause
IS the small salary, which is often
"doled out paternalistically" by or
ganizatious and individual parishon-
ers. and tends to lead them to adopt
- rather easy attitude toward debt"
But In general It may be said that the
college itself exerts . determining In
0uenoe. It u remarked that Of the
first six colleges listed In order Of
