is happening not only at the Chrys-
Ter Corporation but at the General
Motors plants, Ford's and all other
companies. New labor-saving ma
chinery is being installed and
speed-up intensified to do away
with workers. At the same time
wage-cuts for those employed are
being introduced in various plants.
This situation only adds weight to
the growing demand among the
masses of automobile workers for
the 30-hour week with increased
pay, abolition of the speed-up and
genuine unemployment insurance.

DETROIT.-While the Roosevelt
government and the General Motors
Corporation have been spreading
ballyhoo about "stabilizing" en-
ployment in the auto industry, the
automobile companies are quietly
going ahead with plans for further
reducing the number of workers.

eve Are Guinea Pigs
BY ANN RIO N

ONE book you should not fail to
" own is the book cO-authOred
by Arthur Kallet and F. j.
Schlink, called 100, 200, 900 Guinea
Pigs" Its purpose is to show that
I'VE consumers are being forced
into the role of laboratory guinea
pigs through large loopholes in OBJ
viOusly weak and ineffective laws"
THE Chicago women the other
! day took steps to expose the
inferior quality and harmfuIness
of meats doled out to the unem-
ployed by the government. They
took the meat back to the stock
yards from which it came, and
demanded that it be analysed. 1t
is certain that some energetic
steps must be taken to protect the
health of the employed as well as
unemployed workers. Let me
quote part of one chapter on
meats, which, the book states, are
preserved by injurious chemicals.
ONE of our modern national in
" stitutions is hamburger. At the
moment you read this, thousands
of hamburger sandwiches, gener-
ously covered with salt and pepper,
mustard and onions, are being
served in thousands of restaurants,
cafeterias, diners and hot dog
stands; and more thousands of
housewives are ordering chopped
meat to transform into fried ham
burger in their own kitchens. The
hamburger habit is just about as
safe as walking in an orchard while
the arsenic spray is being applied,
and about as safe as getting your
meat out of a garbage can stand
ing in the hot sun. For, beyond
all doubt, the garbage can is where
much of the chopped meat sold by
butchers belongs, as well as a large
percentage of all the hamburger
that goes into sandwiches.
The fresh red color you see on
clipped meat may be no more ma
tural than the green color of st.
Patrick's Day carnations; it may be
there only by grace of generous
dosing OF stale, partially decom-
posed meat with sodium sulphite.
This preservation not only restores
the color and appearance of fresh
meat, but also destroys the odor of
putrefaction. Eating putrid meat is
not the only risk you run when you
order hamburger; the sulphite itself
is one of the most severe of all
digestive and kidney hazards.
Quantities of chopped meat pre-
served with sodium sulphite are
constantly being seized by food in
spectors in the very few States
which have any effective inspection.
In one State, II out of rs samples
of hamburger picked up by inspec-
tors were illegally preserved. But
so easy and profitable is the fraud,
and so slight the punishment, that
it goes on with little abatement
anywhere"
THE book draws the very good
1 conclusion that it is necessary to
'let your voice be heard loudly
and often in protest against the
indifference, ignorance, and ava
rice responsible for the uncon-
troIIed adulteration and misrep-
resentation of foods, drugs, and
cosmetics"

at least two months. On other oc-
casions, the nerve of tooth is ex.
posed in an accident of this type
and it dies. In the event of the
death of the nerve, it requires the
treatment of a dentist to save the
tooth.
1t is impossible for the Medical
Board to quote fees. We may write
at length on the subject of fees
in a capitalist country and explain
to you that while dentists appa-
rently set fees that are high, they
are subject to exploitation by land
lords, supply houses, etc. I can adj
wise you, however, to save your
teeth wherever it is possible. Ar
tif1cial teeth can never take the
place of natural ones. Very often
workers must sacrifice the natural
teeth, because they cannot afford
to replace the missing ones, and
feel their financial troubles will be
over if they have all their teeth
removed and get false pesrlies."
Vitamins Added to Foods
D. d. B., New York: You ask
1 whether Hershey'S and Nestle's
chocolate contain lead. According
to the investigation of Consumers
Research, they do contain lead. If
this were not true, Consumers Re-
search would soon be involved in
legal difficulties. You also ask
whether Squibbs Chocolate Flavor
ed Vitavose is rich in iron, vitamins
B and G. The answer is yes, but
what of it? Many Of the common
and inexpensive food products also
contain these ingredients. 1t is not
advisable to eat bread, milk or any
other foods to which vitamins are
added. The ordinary human diet
supplies enough of these elements
for the average healthy individual.

MINNESOTA GRID PROSPECTS GOOD
 TICKETS VANISH

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 13.
 Prospects for the best Univer- sity of Minnesota football team in a decade are making the ticket of flee cash register at the Gopher institution jingle a lively tune.
 With the first game on the Ma room and Gold schedule nearly two months away, fans daily are show ing their hunger for the gridiron sport through advance ticket pur- chases.
 Sale of season books as well as individual tickets are far in ad- vance of last year, with indications that from box office standpoint Minnesota will have the best sea- son since 1929, says L. L. Schroe- der, athletic business manager.
 More than 2,000 season books have been sold, with 200 more ap- plications on hand, Schroeder says, while th2 cash book is about $10000 ahead of last year.
 Mileage apparently is not de- terrent to Minnesota fans who have purchased 400 tickets to wit ness the Pittsburgh contest 900 miles away on October 29.
 The Michigan game, Gopher homecoming fete, is proving to be the strongest attraction. More than 2,000 seats have been sold, while 1000 places are being reserved for the Michigan fans.
 Bernie Bierman's warriors, minus but one regular, Roy Gen, 1883 captain and center, open their sea- son September 29 at home against North Dakota State.

IT PAID TO LOSE

It's even money so far in Doyle's book on the American Cup races. This in itself is the tipoff on how well the Endeavour's challenge is regarded this year, especially by the contrast of one-sided defeats ad- ministered in the past to most British contenders for the old mug There hasn't been close con- test for so long that none but the most ancient mariners can recall one.
 This affair should be a great betting event for the reason that people generally are taking Sopwith more seriously than they did Lip ton,' says Doyle. Tt may be doing them an injustice but one can cas- fly figure that those English yacht builders were not breaking their necks to build the tea merchant winning boat If so they would simply lost fine customer who was spending a million dollars every couple of years to buy los- CTS. Why build him a winner?"

For wagering man with suffi- cient loose change, imbued with the spirit of rising tide of sport ing activity, there's plenty of op- portunity to do a brisk business within the forthcoming few weeks
 Playing a few lunches, along with our personal convictions, we would be inclined:
 1. To back Jimmy McLarnir in his fight to regain the world welterweight title from the flashing eyed Barney Ross.
 2. To expect the West to take the East over the polo hurdles in two straight matches.
 3. To figure Frederick J. Perry entirely capable of resisting all at- tempts to wrest the national tennis championship from the hands o1 the agile British ace.
 4. To pick 'em out of a hat so far as chances are concerned in the all-match play tournament for the National amateur golf title al Brookline. a
 5. To figure either Rainbow or Yankee capable of turning back the formidable challenge of Tom Sopwith's Endeavour for the classic Americas Cup.
 6. To figure the New York Giants with a decisive pitching edge over the Detroit Tigers in the world series, despite the prow- ess of the distinguished Master Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe.
 T. To regard Princeton's foot ball powerhouse as "tops" in the East pending some of the late November returns along the grid iron front. ~

 Beginning with September l6 and ending November II, the Gopher state nimrods will be permitted to bag almost everything in the line of upland birds, with ducks and geese thrown in.
 Such is possible under a schedule of shooting authorized by the state conservation commission which sets the zero hour for the fall open season as September Is. From then until November II, the sportsmen will train their sights on prairie chickens, cartridges, quail, pheas- ants, geese and variety of ducks.

Irishman, despite his defeat earlier in the season, has too many big guns and too great weight ad- vantage to be whipped twice in a row by even so brilliant young ster as the Chicago Jewish star
 It seemed to me that McLarnin was bit stale, likewise over-con- fident in their first bout. Jimmy rated his pace so badly that he didn't have the punching power he needed to resist the surge of Ross in the last few rounds. I figured McLarnin to win that time, but I did not think that it was even close at the end of IS rounds, de- spite the fact that one Irish judge, Tom O'Rourke, scored McLarnin away out in front and another, Gene Tunney. told me afterward he thought Jimmy won with some thing to spare.
 McLarnin's anxiety for re- turn matcn IS eVldence Of Jimmy s own dissatisfaction with his previ- ous showing as well as an indica- tion of a belief he can turn the tables on his lightweight rival. He won't make the mistake of under estimating the Jewish lad this time He should be in better condition and the timing of his punches should be much improved.
 You can also figure, on the oth- CT hand, that McLarnin has hit the downward path while Ross's star is unquestionably in the as- cendent. Barney's speed, if he car sustain it under punishment, may prove too much for McLarnin tc offset over the long route but have a distinct idea the Irishman will wield the decisive weapons.
