Test OF a Leader

This play, Tobacco Road. may have its faults as
theatrical entertainment, but 1t does at least offer a
fine test for the intelligence Of the mayors or the
cities In which 1t Is scheduled to appear.
AS you have probably heard, It depicts the lives Of
a peculiarly squalid and degenerate class OF poor
whites" in the south. It Is filled with profanity and
is not exactly what you would call pleasant and
sunny.
When it appeared in Chicago, Mayor Kelly banned
it. 1t moved on to Detroit and was similarly banned
there. Then it wandered In to Cleveland, where
Mayor Burton permitted it TO be shown; and he re-
marked:
The people Of this town are their own censors.
They can use their own Judgment on the plays they
want 70 see"
That sounds like good common sense. After all
there is no law requiring any citizen to attend q
play which he thinks he won't like.

this recent affair in New York, where the police raid
ed a show staged by the Society Of Illustrators and
packed half a dozen girls off to court for performing
without benefit OF costumes.
The judge before whom the girls were a~rraigned
showed good sense in dsmissing their cases. Hi
point was that IL anybody should be arrested it ought
to be the distinguished artists who sponsored the
show, and not the girls themselves: and most people
probably, will agree.
II such a show merits interruption by the police,
surely the men who got 1t up are the ones who should
pay the penalty.

The Truth About Diet
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal of the American Medical Assn.
and Hygeia, the Health Magazine
HOW YOUR Rood BREAKS poWN,

When carbohydrates are absorbed, they pass into
the blood as simple sugars. The starches are broken
down into simple sugars.
From the i~ntestineS these materials pass into the
liver. There they are stored up as a special sugar
called ~glycogen, used up by the body in muscular &C
ton.
The amount Of sugar in the blood therefore, is
usually constant. When a large amount or sugar Is
taken-that is to say. more than can be promptly
stored in the nver-the amount or sugar in the blood
is increased. The excess will then pour into the ex-
cretions OF the body.
Sugars which are not digeSted and which do not
get into the blood may be fermented in the bile and
change to acids.
The fats are absorbed with the aid Of the bile,
sometimes in the form OF bile salts. These do not pass
with the blood to the liver, but 60 BY the way or the
, 1935-11-27

lymphatics directly from the small intestine. Then the
material may be taken up BY the blood and carried
10 the cells Of the body.
The proteins are split up or absorbed in the in
testinal walls and then pass through the liver. There
fore they go into the circulation, to be used in build
ing up the proteins Of the tissues.
The large intestines do not add much In the way
Of s%ecretions. They do add some mucus to the mix
ture, which aids its passage.
Water. however, may be absorbed from the large
intestine into the body. 1t must be remembered that
the body absolutely demands water, to carry on the
process OF digestion and absorption.
These processes Of digestion are Of utmost import
ance for health. If they do not 20 on successfully, the
result is stomach and intestinal disturbances, in
adequate nutrition Of the body, loss Of weight. and
general i'll health.
The manner Of development Of these disorders
will be discussed in later articles.

TOpAY,s HEALTH QUESTION

Q-Is there any way to stop the terrible itch
ing from which people with diabetes suffer?
Ar the person with diabetes will correct the
amount Of sugar that he takes in, and control its
absorption through a suitable amount Of insulin,
the itching is likely to stop. This requires careful
study BY one who understands the care Of dia-
betes. Any doctor can prescribe a lotion or an
ointment which will believe the itching.

STORY OF KILLINGS

NEW YORK, May 23-Joseph l..
Steinmetz, young Brooklyn divinity
student on trial for Staying bis IT.
year-old wife and Rev. Joseph Leon
ard, New Jersey Catholic priest, tes-
tified today he was drunk when he
entered the priests room IN the
knights OF Columbus Hotel and found
them partially unclad.
Continuing his testimony for the
second day, before Judge Charles C.
Mott, jr., Steinmetz said he and his
wife, Ruth Armstrong Steinmetz,
whom he married in Aqua Caliente
last November, three weeks before
the slayings, had gone to a nearby
restaurant with the priest and drank
heavily.
They returned to the Steinmetz
room and the priest produced another
bottle Of liquor, Steinmetz said.
The divinity student testified the
priest said to him.
You ought to lie down and get
some sleep. Ruth is not through con-
fession and I will take her down to
my ROOM"
Previously, Steinmetz said his wife
had taken a walk" with the priest
the night before and he had invited
her to make a confession.
Twisting a handkerchief, which he
dabbed frequently to his eyes, Stein
metz said the priest and his wife left
the room.
II don't know how long I was
there. My head was spinning around"
he said, land then remember they
had left and wondered why they had
been gone so long"
Defense Counsel Samuel Leibowitz
led SteinmetZ through the details of
the tragic afternoon at the hotel.
The youth said he went to the
priests room. Before knocking he
heard his wife say: Il am a married
woman. You are not a young man
any more"
The priest, SteinmetZ said, replied:
"You cannot question the authority
of the church"
Steinmetz said he knocked and
entered the room.
The priest" he said, was standing
there with his clothes off,"
you mean he had his suit OFF,"
asked Leibowitz
''Yes. I did not see Ruth at first.

raising the money to the admins
tration.
Before the Senate met today the
Patmanites had been informed of
Senator Pope's announcement that he
would support the President. Most
of the bills supporters agreed this
made victory nearly impossible, but
Senator McCarran. Democrat. Of
Nevada stuck to his fiat prediction
that the veto would be overridden.
Clark Sees Bill Lost.
Senator Clark. Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, long a cash-bonus leader, was
so convinced of the defeat of the bill
that he was ready to offer substitute
Immediately as rider to the pending
naval appropriation bill.
Clark announced he would move to
suspend the rules so a cash bonus
bill could be added to the appropria-
tion measure. This would require q
two-thirds' vote
The Missourian hoped to pick up
few votes. however, by offering the
President alternative plans for financ-
ing the full and immediate payments.
He would permit the Chief Executive
to choose among three methods-is-
suing new money. borrowing the cash
or using Work-relief funds.
Other bonus Senators were doubt
full whether the Clark plan could mus
ter the necessary votes. Some Of them,
those more particularly interested in
the money issue than the bonus ques-
ton, were frankly hostile to the plan.
They wanted to force the President
to issue more money.
Though it would require a two
thirds vote to add the Clark amend
ment to the Navy bill, it would take
only a majority to attach it to other
administration measures, such as the
N. R. A. extension bill or the social
security program.
Leaders of the cash bonus drive
were ready to offer a measure as
rider to one of these bills if the at
tempt to ''hitch-hike" a ride on the
Navy bill failed.
They said it might prove embar-
