And weren't there times, maybe when you
thought perhaps she might not make it?'
He thought for moment and said: Just one.
OF course we've had plenty of waves break over

took off all the lifeboats the port side. But you

fishermen use. I had developed
an idea. now fully confirmed by
personal research, that sea fish

hard labor.
Our party was in a great
hurry to get out on the water
and put some hooks over the
side when we showed out from
a wobbly wooden dock at the
edge of the jungle. The boat
took wandering course, follow

Inc same Is true OF the navy
department. The Roosevelts-
Franklin and Cousin Harry, the
assistant Secretary-run the navy.
The war department up until
recently played no great part in
the picture. Now that it has been
called upon for major performance
the air mails-it has fallen down
woefully, Roosevelt has had to
take it in hand.
The postoff1ce department is
largely routine, but on major
policy jim Farley always trots
over to the White House.
Miss Perkins labor department
has become a statistical agency.
Labor disputes, for which it was
originally created, are handled by
Senator Wagner's labor board I'M
der the direct supervision of the
White House.
Secretary Roper's commerce de-
partment could fade out of the
picture, and except for the mas
Sive building and the fish aquar-
ium which tourists enjoy, it would
never be missed.
VOUNG HENRY MORGEN-
j. THAI, the secretary of the
treasury, is doing good job, but
even on matters of relative detail,
takes his cues from the White
House.
Homer Cummings and his JUS
tice Department are more con-
cerned with the Interpretation of
law than with administration,
and are therefore not quite in
the same category.
Even Ickes and Wallace, upon
whom the President depends more
than his other cabineteers, must
take AAA codes and public works
projects to the White House for
specific approval
From all of which, one of two
deductions is unacceptable. Either
Roosevelt has picked poor help
or else he does not trust them
enough to give them real author
ity.
Consider, in addition to this, the
top-heavy machinery of recovery
agencies which now have become
more important than the regular
government departments.
THE NRA, which holds the fate
Il of industry, centers direct to
the White House. At one time
Roosevelt read every code before
adoption. Even now he reads all
major codes.
The labor board; Joe Eastman's
control of the railroads. the RFC,
with its MILLIONS loaned to banks
and business; the home loan bank
board, holding the fate of millions
of mortgages; the FERA, feeding
millions of unemployed; the CWA,
which tided the country over the
winter; the federal deposit in
surance corporation. holding the
fate of the banks; the farm credit
administration and the Tennessee
valley authority, all report-not
to a cabinet oficer--but direct to
the President.

The business girl--if she Is to be a social as we'll as a profes- sional succesS-simply must learn to budget sher time outside the office. When she leaves her office at five, she must know how to dash home, bathe, make up, dress and be ready to greet her escort with a calm, smiling face when he arrives at seven.
 Men, generally speaking, hate nervousness and confusion. Many beau has lost interest in an at tractive girl simply because she always kept him waiting while she finished dressing, greeted hiri with a distracted glance and seemed to spend most of the eve- ming being upset over something she forgot to put in her bag. Let this be a warning. Plan your get ting-ready- to- go -out-in- the eve ming routine rather carefully and stick to 1t.
 First of all, try to keep all eve ming accessories in one drawer. Make sure that your evening gowns and wraps always are clean and pressed. When you've worn a costume. send it to be cleaned the next morning instead of wait- ing until couple of days before you intend to step out agai". Nothing is worse than to have to press dress fifteen minutes be- fore you want to wear it.
 Learn to make every minute count. For instance. clean yolr face and cream it before you get in the tub. That way. the cream has chance to do it's work with out wasting your time.

 Thessolvents in most 1acqlers are benzine (benzol, not benzinl, aniltn and nitrobenzene. These when ir- haled are quite poisonous.
 The common synlptoms of insid- ious ar chronic befzene,. i1itroben- gene or anilin poisoning are paJlor, purpuric spots (inexplicable ,'bfack and blue" spots) under skin, some times bleeding fronnsvarious mucous membranes or interhally, 3cyanosis or blueness of skins lips. nails, and anemia. with progressive weakness.

 Perhaps there Is greater danger where lacquers or quick drying paints and varnishes are used in the home, for there the danger may not be recognized and no pre- caution taken to insure free ven- tilation while applying the paint and while it is drying. It is always better to do such painting in the open air wherever this is possible.
 There is no known antidote or effective remedy for acute or chronic poisoning by these coal tar distillates. Their destructive eff fects in the blood and vital organs persist 1on;;; after the acute symp- toms are over with. .r
 Quite similar, though usually more insidious poisoning may oc- cur from the bad habit of taking coal tar derivatives such as acct anilide, phenacetin. antipyrin and the thousand and one pain-killer or fatigue-deadener nostruns which depend on these ingredients for their effects. The sense-benumbing action of these, coal tar derivatives by no means indicates that they are curative in any way. It is the height of folly to take such dope with any childish fancy that it may be good for whatever aiis you. And in my opinion it is just as foolish to take aspirin or any of the mod ern panaceas of that class without first deciding whether your heart, blood and constitution can stand such drugs. Of course suffering and pain must be alleyiated in some conditions, and these coal tar anal gesics are perhaps the most suit able agents available for the pur- pose. but certainly the general Iaity
