Game May Be Replaced

A MONG the genuine heroes of the strife, how
=, n ever, E. K. Lindley of the brain trust, must
be given prominent mention. Mr. Lindley was play
ing center field but he pitched the second third and
fourth innings from there. The incumbent pitcher
of the brain trust, Fred Storm refused to yield to
Mr.. Lindley, so Mr.. Lndley pitched from where he
stood, the hitters moving to second base. He
touched for numerous long blows but all the
hitters automatically called out. Nobody
seemed to know where first If the hitters
to the right they reached third first and we're out
If they ran to first first they out for running
the bases backward
Several members of the brain trust made notes
of this popularity. 1t was not an administration
measure exactly but it is worth thought.
The fielding in the beanbag contest unique.
Anything hit between two felders was accounted
home run and the fielders constantly were cover
ing their heads with their and fleeing to escape
brutal blows of the beanbag driven at them with
terrific force.
Thus all the runs were home runs with the
ception of special bonus, dividend of ten runs
which the brain trust awarded themselves by strict
party vote in the last inning. This bonus divi-
dend was the rally which the game.
The athletes have threatened to resume the strug-
gle next Sunday on the home grounds of the team
from the other side of the mountain In that case
it is hoped to import special staff OF beanbag
reporters from the New York sport departments to
cover the sport and guarantee fair accounting Of
the runs, hits and errors.
The brain trust being based in Poughkeepsie now
is skulking around Vassar college in suspicious
manner and it is suspected that when the Wash
ington team takes the field for the return struggle
there will be some ringers on the team recruited
from the Vassar varsity
The brain trust face tag team turned out for
fall practice.

L0weH Thomas Erred, Too

DUE to the fact that all the newspaper accounts
- of this contest were composed by parties who
were involved in the beanbag game, the truth of
the matter disguised in the stories which issued
from PoughkeepSie In fact Monday evening,
Lowell Thomas, the radio broadcaster, who played
on the team from the yonder side of the mountain,
where he owns farm estate, GRATED description
of the struggle in which he too neglected to
describe the game in its true character. Mr.. Thomas
also spoke of it a baseball game.
In the interests of truth it may be reported
that the beanbag struggle played a side
hill lot on a golf course some distance out of
Poughkeepsie and that draw decision would have
given both teams much the best of it.
The President watched the cruel strife until the
spectators that he could not stand it any longer
and went away In fleeing, he took along George
Dresher, then pitching for the brain trust who is
attached to his personal party This was smart
strategy for the brains Mr.. Dresher being
hit quite freely by the team from the other side
of the mountain
In this crisis, Eddie Roddan, the Washington
journalist, who pitched for the beanbag team at
Georgetown university in 1908, took up the burden
and, by alright work. held the team from the
other side of the mountain to sixteen runs, net
The brain trust finally won the contest 26 to IS
in nine innings but it should be remembered that
this victory was strictly newspaper decision The
brain trust, which includes the entire corps of
Washington journalists, attended to the official
scoring and the newspaper coverage of the battle.
There are sinister runors in beanbag circles that
they dropped entire innings into the Hudson river
in order to arrive at this result.

Exactly one year ago she be-
gan a little personal probing into
the munitions industry, decided
there was much beneath the sur
face which the public should know
about and scanned the congress
sional field to see what senator
could put the idea across best.
Finally. she hit upon young
Gerald Nye of North Dakota.
Without asking him to under
take the investigation, she out
lined the secret information she
had uncovered. proposed an in
vestigation and asked his advice
as TO what senator could best do
the job.

So Mr.. Nye promptly introduced
his resolution. But for a long

Finally. with the legislative jam
increasing. Pat Harrison, who had
opposed the resolution, staged

But at crucial point Nye
blocked him. He proposed an

He Takes Middle VieIU

IT is the contention of many of our business men
Il and of publishers that Franklin D.
Roosevelt is revolutionary who is trying to sneak
socialism over an unWary democracy. Stain does
not agree. But again he seems to give small credence
10 the assertion of American radicals that Mr. Roose
welt is the favorite of big business whose in
tention it is to drive the workers deeper into the
mire and increase the profits Of the rich
Josef Stalin the leader of the Communist party
takes a middle view. According to the text in The
Worker, Stain replied to the suggestion of the pos
slb1lity of step by step" socialism by saying:
But what will this socialism mean? AT best some
restraint for the most unrestrained individual rep
resentatives of capitalist profit increase in the
regulating principle in national economy. All this
good. But soon as Mr.. Roosevelt or some other
captain in the modern bourgeois world wants to
dertake anything serious against the foundations of
capitalism he inevitably will meet with complete
failure. For Mr.. Roosevelt doesn't own the banks
industry the big enterprises, the big farms. All this
is private property. Railroads and shipping all
in the hands of private owners And finally the army
of skilled labor engineers techncians also are not
with Mr.. Roosevelt but with private employers and
working for them"
Stain did not commit himself to a belief that
President Roosevelt is trying to bring about any
radical modification of the present economic sys-
tenn. However, he admitted the possibility What he
said precisely was, Il fear that despite all the en-
ergy and ability of Mr. Roosevelt he will not achieve

THE possibility of a connection between the
i functioning of the adrenal glands and the
parathyroid glands is indicated by long series of
experiments carried out by DR.. j. NJ. Rogof, Cleve
land.
For almost a decade now. medical men have been
suSpectlng such interConnectionS between the func
tioning of various ductess glands. Their definite
establishment is certain to lead to new understand
ing of the human body and TO improved methods OF
combating many serious diseases.
The ductleSS glands as years of research have re-
veaed. little chemical factories manufacturing
powerful chemical substances known hormoneS. AS
their name indicates. these glands have no ducts or
openings through which to discharge these hormones
The blood stream as it passes through these glands.
picks up the hormones and carries them to the rest
of the body
1t is possible for an organ of the body to fill the
role of ducteSs gland in addition TO serving some
other function Thus, for example, the pancreas
which manufactures the pancreatic juices which
discharged through duct into the intestine, also
manufactures hormone. inSulin. which is picked up
by the blood stream.
TTORMONES are produced in small amounts by
ductleSs glands Yet their power is so great that
those indispensable. For example. failure
Of the Thyroid gland to Secrete its hormone, known
as thyroXin slows down the heart makes bodily re-
actions sluggish, and in extreme cases, produces
type OF idOcy known as cretiniSm.
IN the normal person. there is present usually
about one-fifth Of grain of thyroxin A grain is
little less than q four-hundredth Of an ounce. BY

as long as he gets his thyroxin.
Degeneration Of those portions OF the pancreas
glands which secrete insun results in the disease
known as diabetes Diabetes. who a decade ago
faced certain DEATH are now kept alive by injec-
lions of insuln obtained from the pancreaS glands

IN experiments performed in more recent years by
l. DR.. Rogoh and the late DR.. G. N Stewart, it was
shown that removal OF the adrenal glands in ami

Stain Reads About 1t

I THINK Mr.. Wells might challenged Stain
Il on his statement that engineers and technicianS
the natural allies of the existing order Possibly
in far off Moscow Stain may have gained the i'm
preston that the great engineer of Palo Alto was
universal American type. After ALL Stenmetz, who
worked for the General Electric Company for years,
was great engineer and a Socialist.
One concession Josef Stain made to his visitor.
IN the middle of the argument, he said: However,
YOU know the situation in America better than 1,
because never in the United States, and follow
American affairs principally through literature. But
have some Slight experiences in the field of Strug
gle for socialism and this experience tells that if
Mr. Roosevelt really tries TO satisfy the interests of
the proetaran class at the expense of the capitalist
class the latter will replace him by another Presi-
dent"
In other words, the secretary of the Communist
party of the Soviet Union believes that steel and
textiles and motors have authority than the
President of the United States. 1t is only fair to
say that many Americans who are not Communists
at all agree with him entirely in this. Certainly Mr..
Ford Mr.. Sloan and Mr.. Taylor already have given
every indication of being ready to say amen" to
Mr.. Stain.
lone columniSt would be a fool to back his own
judgment in a where MARKHAM wisdom and
captaiStic shrewdneSS are agreed upon opinion.
Nevertheless this fool columnst will bet Josef Stain

Roosevelt will go much farther left and will not be
replaced"

erS. No supreme court JuStlce
has ever disqualified himself from
a case because somebody COM
planned of alleged improperly fol-
lowing his appointment to the
court.
Some have disqualified them
selves from given cases because
previous associations IN law prac-
tice might be considered to have
prejudiced them.
Justice Brandeis did so, for in
stance, in the minimum wage law
test-and as he did in the Sacco-
Vanzetti appeal, on the ground
that a member of his family had
been interested in the defense of
those two Italian anarchists.
A supreme court justice is not
considered in a position to de-
fend himself from personal at
tacks, but the other eight would
be good and sour if one we're to
take public notice of a charge of
improperly.
1t isn't unlikely that Justice
Brandeis will call attention of his
colleagues to such criticisms as
may develop from hostile sources,
whereupon all hands are fairly
certain to join in a hearty laugh
and tell him to forget it,
A THOUGH the Tories" now
L n taking cautious pot-shots at
Justice Brandeis proceed on the
theory that he is a menace be-
cause of his well-known partiality
toward human rights as against
property rights and assume that
he will automatically support the
New Deal measures, many Bran
deis adherents who still talk with
him have worried constantly lest
he turn thumbs down on some
emergency legislation as a result
of his strong belief in free compe-
tition, decentralization of finan-
cial and industrial control, and
the dangers of antitrust law suS-
pension.
Some brain trusters" who
drew their first inspiration from
Justice Brandeis are now much
more radical than he is For it
must be remembered that the
radicalism consists chiefly of be-
ing an old-fashioned Democrat
seeking to apply ancient Ameri-
can principles to contemporary
industrial civilization.
He has been best described in
book about him by Alpheus
Thomas Mason:
"Brandeis is rather an individ-
ualist Democrat of the Jefferson
ian type. He believes so strongly
in private property that he wants
to see it more equitably diffuSed
among the masses of men.
He values private capital so
highly that he would make it
available to the independent en-
trepreneur, rather than have it
monopolized by money trust"

Is that the medical profession has made great strides
IN the control Of cancer by application of radium
and X-ray.
Part of this advance is due to improvements in
the manner in which both radium and X-ray are
used.
Long ago it was found that the tissues which
make up a cancer are more sensitive to radium and
the X-ray than are ordinary tissues The tissues
that make up cancer are like those of a growing
infant after birth. These very much more SEN

Such a coup would cause no sur

On the contrary DR.. Vladimir

warned that unless some amic-
able understanding is reached
soon, the state must perish.
I'VE do not demand separation

We want freedom within our own

almost 100 per cent. Yukoslavia's

You'll find it in his "Other Peo-
pies Money" and Business - A
Profession" Today he expounds
it privately as ne once talked it
publicly.
But he is extremely meticulous
about anything which might tend
to compromise his judicial posi-
ton. Perhaps more SO than any
other justice.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brandeis never
permit anyone to entertain them.
Their guests, including those at
the locally famous Sunday after
noon "Brandeis teas" where cur
rent affairs are discussed openly,
are admitted only on the Justices
own terms of propriety.
NEVERTHELESS, many friends
IN of Brandeis are irritated or
embarrassed by General john
sons public assertion that dur
ing the whole intense experience,
I have been in constant touch

Louis Brandeis."
That even goes for Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who quickly decided
Johnson hadn't better go around
making any more such speeches
as presumptive spokesman for
the administration. General john
son himself regretted the "break"
as soon as he realized what he
had done.
Agitation among New Dealers
is based on three factors of the
incident:
l. General johnson gave the To-
ries what they consider ammuni-
ton to use against Justice Bran
deis in a concerted effort to en-
barrass him to the point where
he might diSqualify himself to sit
on New Deal cases.
3 Absurdity of the idea that
Justice Brandeis in any way spon-
sored the NRA policies of General
Johnson. The policies which big
business forced on the general
are anathema to Justice Brandeis'
followers.
