VIGILANCE OVER
MONEY GRANTS
is HELD VITAL
Flynn Urges Scrutiny of Use
of Funds in Next
Few Months.
BY JOHN t. FLYNN
Times Special Writer

The Republicans are in a state Of
patriotic funk at the spectacle OF
what they call the greatest pork
barrel in history-the Presidents gl-
gantic public relief fund of s4,S00,-
600 900. They are even more fearful
since they have begun to realize that
the fund is a good deal bigger than
that.
We needn't waste any sympathy
on the virtuous apprehensions OF
the Grand Old Partisans. But we
do know there is such thing as hu-
man nature. And We know that God
created US all-Republicans and
Democrats alike-with a ravenlng
appetite for pork.
This being so, it is a good thing at
this stage to check up on the size OIL
the Presidents barrel and the
amount of the succulenO meat in 1t.
S,uch Money Still Unspent
II must be remembered that the
President has not spent all of the
billions voted 10 him last year and
the wear before. A lot Of the money
appropriated for public works IN 1888
is still unspeut. Hence, in ADDITION
IN the new billions voted him, he has
all of the old billions which stu re
main in his hands. 1 have tried TO
find out how much these are.
In April. before the last big grant
was voted. he had still left IN his
hands. according to the Treasury
statement, nearly five billion dollars
However. a good deal Of this was
Reconstruction Finance Corp. and
farm credit money which he is not
supposed to spend, but to lend. But
there was plenty more.
There was trifle of s38,O00,0Oo in
the IVA chest. Loans had been
made to states. But of these more
than s5OO,OOOOOO was yet to be
passed out. Over S159,OOO,OOO
of the monies allocated for public
highways is still unspent and about
as much again for river and harbor
work.
Sl5,5OO,0O0 a Day
There was left 1927 100000 still to
be spent on public conservation
work and nearly a hundred million
in the emergency relief cash drawer.
Altogether, there was about
50. 300 100000 available for spending
before the last big grant was made.
and as that was $4,000, 000,006 1t
will be seen that the President has
at his disposal to put out in the
next IA months about S7.100, 900, 900.
That is s435 100000 a month, or
S14.500O00 a day.
1t will be interesting to compare

this with our great war expenditures,
To do so we must add to this some
So 100000 for ordinary expenses
not included in these emergency
figures. Hence the coming year the
President will direct the laying out
of S1O600,000 900.
In 1917, the first war year, We
spent for everything-war and or
binary government costs-s2, $780,
100000, in round figures. In 1918
we spent $14,36O,O00,OOO So we are
far ahead of the first war year and
pretty close to the last war year.
Besides, the President has in his
hands several billions in the RFC
and Farm Loan Administration for
credits. And now we are confronted
with the possibility of another two
billion in bonus payments for the
veterans.
The great size Of this immense
grant of monies calls for sleepless
vigilance by the nation in the COM
ing year and as a political campaign
opens.

sleeves and large revers also give the bust more prominence. Light-colored bouses must be avoided, but the new sleeves widened at the elbow will do wonders towards achieving balanced silhouette, just as the little flat cape will breach the hiatus between bodice and skirt.
 The more mature woman should avoid sweaters or form-ftted bodices jackets coaG3 npped in at the waist and evening decolletes cut-out under the arms. All these merely draw attention to the figure These style points which can only be worn suc- cessfully by the really youthful figure But bloused bodices always fattering to the not-so-young figure and rectangular decolees reveal the prettest part of the back.
 Dark Gloves Dwarf Big Hands
 Accessories are important this season but here again great and study must enter into their selection Long, brightly -colored gloves should not be worn if the hands are inclined to be large, but instead choose long dark, soft suede gloves wrnked along the arm, or wide gauntlets, and sleeves with funess aassed towards the wrist as all these fea- lures will accentuate the size of the hands.
 Wide corselet belts destined for the girl with
 small waist and slender hips and so are the petal necklines choker collars and voluminous scarfs.

Bos- sard, in Social Forces, in 1929 esti- mated that the annual cost of men, tai and social deficiency in the United States is over five billions. In contrast we spend directly on the discovery and promotion of excep- tionally gifted children the pitiful pittance of only a few thousands.

When you know you do not feel any need to assert it; but when you boast about your skill or popularity or exploits or what people say to you, you are calling attention to these points of superb ority lest they recognize points of inferiority which you feel you have and are afraid they will see. Superi- ority complexes are usually inferi- ority comp1exes.

pings of sinuses, removal Of tur- binates and snaring of polypi have been performed with little or no relief. While sometimes occurring in patients suffering from seasonal hay fever or asthma, perennial hay fever (that is, alleged hay fever out of season, say in the middle of winter) may appear as an inde- pendent affection due either to foods or to inhalants. AS an exam pie of the variegated etiological factors (that is, causes) in this condition, the last five cases which have been referred to the author for investigation by a rhinologist have proved to have an allergic hypersensitiyeness to wheat, to pyrthrum from insect powder, to cat hair and parrot feathers, to cheese and the pneumococcus, and to tobacco respectively. If practi- tioners, especially rhinologists (nose specialists), had a more widespread appreciation of the allergic nature of many chronic incurable nasal conditions which they treat pallia- lively year in and year out, there would be less unsuccessful nasal surgery and great decrease in the shilling population.
 The foregoing paragraph is quot ed from a paper on allergic diseases read by Dr. T. Wood Clarke, Utica. N. Y., before the district medical society and published in N. Y. State Jour, of Medicine Feb. IS, 1933 Laymen need not ask where they can get hold of the article. They can't, so far as am concerned
 .'Allergy" is hypersensitiveness of body cells to specific protein sub- stances. Its importance as a cause of asthma is pretty well known, but few victims of the type of nose trouble mentioned by the author are aware of the nature of their trouble.

But trust the educated ninnyhammer to &C., count for it all-there is always 8 chilling, dampness or sud en change to be assumed responsible and of course the ninnyhammer has tried some remedy which breaks it up."
 Why certain individuals manifest this peculiar hypersensitiveness or allergy, we don't know. It is not rarely encountered in young in- fants and indeed is not to be ig- nored as a possible explanation for obstinate eczematous conditions in early infancy.
 It is my studied opinion-I may be a bit prejudiced about this-that three or four per cent of all alleged "colds" are of this nature. Of couEse allergic conditions are never communicable. So we can't precise

 Paris (UP)-Blood-red, deep pur- pie, navy blue and other colorful nail polishes have been banned by Paris beauty specialists who are de- voting their time to promoting more colorful dyes for the hair.
 Finger .nails in the future will be a natural pink, as natural as a shiny polish can make them. In case the tips of the nails and the moons are not white, there is a new white varnish, almost opaque, which is painted over the nail be- fore the addition of liquor polish.
 Finger nails may have gone back to nature, but hair looks anything but natural. The two favorite tones in Paris are mahogany red and pearl blonde. Mahogany is a deep shade of red, more crimson than auburn, while the pearl blonde is platinum bleach which has been subjected to a bluish-purple rinse. The result is luminous sheen which bears a slight resemblance to the precious stones.
 Reaching was denounced as de- trimental to the hair some months ago, and an attempt was made to launch the artificial fred head" Leading beauty experts contended that the continual bleaching neces- sary to preserve platinum color made the hair brittle and event. ually turned it greenish shade. This warning had a noticeable ef- feet in changing Parisian blondes into "red heads" until another beau- ty expert launched the vogue for pearl blonde treSses.

 Kitchen
BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer

The glowing October mornings gold moons and frosty evenings give us new interest in food and cooking and send us to our kitchens eager to bake and brew for our family's delight.
 Of all the good things that come out of this months kitchens, the fragrant homemade bread is the best, do believe.
 There's even more to be said for fruit breads and mullins than that they are delicious to eat and smell. They are economical, as well, and add 8 wealth of nourish- ment with their molasses, milk, grain and ruit. With the wide selection of Hours and meals avail able, it's possible to vary your bread dish every day.
 Date and Nut Bread
 One cup boiling coffee, 1 cup stoned and chopped dates, 1-2 cup light, brown sugar, l tablespoon butter, l egg. 2 cups flour. l tea spoon soda, l teaspoon salt, l cup nut meats, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ] teaspoon baking powder.
 Add soda to dates and pour over coffee. Boiling water can be used but coffee does give a deli cious flavor to the bread. Let stand while mixing the other in- gredientS Mix and sift flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Add butter and nuts and mix thor oughly. Stir into date mixture. Add egg well beaten and vanilla and turn into greased and floured loaf pan. Let rise fifteen minutes and bake l hour in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fo.
 Peanut Butter Bread This bread makes delicious sandwiches to serve with 8 salad and a glass of milk for the chil- dren's luncheon. On 8 cold day a cup of hot bouillon should begin the metl.
 One-third cup sugar, 3-4 cup peanut butter, l egg, 1 cup sweet milk, 2 cups flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, teaspoon salt.

The girl who looks well in her clothes, moves gracefully and sel- dom looks worn generally is one who wears comfortable shoes and takes excellent care of her feet. When you buy winter shoes, don't forget that too tight or too short ones can put lines across your brow and give your mouth tired, pouty look.
 The last is important, too. Ask the shoe salesman not only to meas ure your foot but to let you try on several different lasts. If you can't walk gracefully in high heels, by all means get lower ones. Since all heel heights are fashionable now, your choice should depend on your type of foot. Even though you like to wear three-inch heels to teas and dances, don't try to hobble around in them during office hours or when you have 8 mornings stren- lious shopping to do.
 If you have corns or large cal- louses, see 8 foot specialist before you buy new ones. Don't try to treat corns yourself.
 It's a good idea to use an tnti- septic foot powder during the win ter months when steam heated rooms are likely to make your feet perspire. Remember, of course, to wear fresh stockings every day and to air your shoes in the sunshine at least once week.
 Now that you no longer go to the beach every weekend, you probably won't want to bother to use polish on toenails. However, keep them filed neatly and push back cuticle after every bath.

The not-too- formal dinner gown plays a large role in this winter collection. These frocks are of ankle or floor length and always have sleeves, more often long than short. Frequently the sleeves and shoulder yoke are inserted in con- trasting shades and colors to the body of the gown, while lace IS sometimes used to form contrast.
 Outstanding are two unusual cos- tumes-one an evening gown in green tweed and the other a suit composed entirely of fur. In the latter case the jacket and skirt are of black shorn lamb, while the blouse is of white broadtail with gold tmbroidery cleverly worked into the fur.
