HOG B0UN N 7 Y
NEW PLAN
OF AAA
International Nsws Service

The AAA, which has been pay
ing farmers for not raising hogs,
corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, rice,
wheat, barley, sugar cane and su-
gar beets, etc., and several other
products, is contemplating an
about-face for hog raisers.
Plans are under consideration to
pay bounty for pigs raised next
year.
This was revealed as some IS
farm and agricultural experts
from throughout the country went
into their second days session to-
day with AAA. officials to work
out details for a two-year corn.hog
program announced by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace. The con.
ference will continue throughout
the week.
Storm Of Protest
High prices for meats, particu-
larly pork. as a result of the hog
shortage following the reduction
program and the record drought
of last year. resulting in storm
of protests from consumers, pre-
ceded the discussion Of the bounty
plan.
AAA officials announced that
they will propose restoration of
hog production to the 100 per
cent basis, with the 1928 aver
age as the base.
This would permit hog raisers
to increase their production 10
per cent over last year.
The proposed bounty would al
low farmer $3.50 per head for
all pigs raised up to 100 per cent
of their base production. Thus,
AAA officials explained, a far
mer whose base production was
100 pigs would receive a bounty
of $3.50 if he raised 100 pigs next
year.
Penalties Considered
Under the benefit payment
plan, the farmer received SIS a
head for pigs he did not raise.
Thus a farmer whose base pro-
duction was 100 hogs received
$3.50 if he raised only 80 hogs
last year.
The AAA-farm representative
conferees are considering penal
ties for farmers who exceed their
maximum quota, or who fail to
raise the minimum allowed them.
A 20 per cent reduction from
base acreage on corn production
is under consideration, AAA Off
cia1s said, to prevent an over
supply of feed for 1867. thus
encouraging runaway" hog
production yield for 1887.

Learn-to-SWim CAMPAIGN.

Washington boys this week are Of
fered free lessons in swimming. The
Young Mems Christian Association is
sponsoring the campaign and The Star
is cooperating. A social ideal is rep
resented in the matter, because swim
ming is conducive of health and a
certain indefinable but very stimulat-
ing happiness in living.
But the subject might be discussed
from another angle. To illustrate, it
is fair to cite the recent Moro Castle
disaster. The passengers on that un-
fortunate vessel were an average COM
pany of people. Suddenly the ship
was discovered to be crippled and
afire. Each traveller stood in peril
of death. Those who could not swim
were in double danger. The cas-
ualty list would have been longer
had it not been for the fact that
some of the tourists and crew had
the power and the skill to make
their way through the waves to the
safety of shore. Many of those who
we're lost met their untimely fate be-
cause they never had cultivated the
technique of that personal variety of
navigation.
To stress the motive of fear. how
ever. is not necessary. Accidents at
sea are not numerous enough to justify
panic. Instead, the proponents of
the modern art and science of swim
ming prefer to direct attention to the
physical and mental well-being which
those who swim enjoy. Aquatic exer-
else is excellent fun, and that prob
ably is all the excuse required. When
the youngsters of the city are offered
instruction gratis it may be presumed
that they will take advantage of the
opportunity.

Illuminating rejoinder to Geneva's
resolution of censure and condemna-
ton, the failure of diplomacy to ex-
tract the gunpowder from the situ-
alton becomes painfully and glaringly
apparent.
That the powers still prefer to place
their faith in force rather than in
the panaceas of craftsmanship is ex-
emplified by the imminent signature
OF the Russian military al
lance. That treaty of mutual as
sistance," deliberately aimed at curb
ing ar aggressive Germany. as was
its World War precursor, will be sup
plemented by similar agreements en-
bracing the Little Entente states.
Great Britain and Italy stand in
something more than sympathetic re-
lationship to these various pacts pro-
viding for the use of armies, navies
and air forces in certain emergencies.
There has just appeared in Lord
Rothermere's London Evening News
an editorial which breathes the cold
spirit of realism in which the course
of European events is viewed, even in
pacifist- minded Great Britain. 1t
points out that there is no sense in
wasting time over the merits of the
case-that Germany's former obliga-
ton to remain unarmed and the
obligation Of other powers to disarm
are no longer matters of practical
interest.
The fat is getting very near the
fire" the Evening News declares. The
situation which deteriorated at Stresa
went completely sour in Geneva. For
Britain there is only one thing to do.
IT. should break off these disastrous
international exercises and arm itself
adequately in the air We are back
to state of affairs where the peace
of Europe is to be kept by a strong
arm and in no other way. Ten thou
sand British war planes will produce
more security than any number of
leagues or pacts or peripatetic states
men can do"
That Is a disturbing, discouraging
and depressing picture In the light
Of diplomacys latest utilities, it cam
not be said TO be overdravn.

necessarily grow in strength and

plications for Government relief

volume of this business will be tre-
mendous in itself, and added to the
volume will be the requirements for
close and detailed examination. 1t is
natural question whether parts OF

cold or at least cool water. 50 that a
| soap which lathers freely in such
water must be selected.
The scrubbling given the jaws and
neck with the shaving brush is often
inimical to the tender skinned and
responsible for much irritation.
Therefore the lather is best worked
up with the hands.
Any good toilet soap will do, pro-
vided it will work up into thick,
heavy lather not the bubbly sort Many
fine soaps are not suitable for shaving
purposes
After the hands are piled high with
lather, this is applied to the face,
without the fingers once touching the
skin.
We conserve the skin, you see. for
the razor.
There is no getting out of touching
the face with the blade, but the less
fumbling over it, beforehand, the bet
ter off the shaver will be.
If he cares to apply good sum
burn cream to the places where shaw
ing is most difficult, before he puts
on the lather, so much the better.
| This is another reason for applying
the suds without rubbing in any way.
The old-time idea of rubbing is
mostly hokum. 1t isn't the rubbing,
or the soap, or the water, that does
the cutting.
1t is the blade, hence as sharp a
blade as possible must be used.
The attempt 10 shave too closely is
responsible for much of the trouble.
Too much attention to too close
shave is wrong.
There always will be time to shave
again. fortunately. or alas. just as one
happens to solve this diurnal prObleml
After the shave every bit Of lather
must be removed
Now we are where we started. but
it is right here that so many of the
raw shayers fall down.
The application Of more soap is es-
Sential. therefore this is the time. and
none other, for washing the face
Not every person realized that one
of the best remedies for the momen-
tary burning which follows even the
best conducted shave is more lather
A good lather placed on the face at
this point tends TO take out all the
sting
II it does not. It shows that one is
not using the right soap for ones
precious skin.
Every complexion is different in
regard to reactions. therefore some
thing more than chance recommended
tion is necessary in the selection of
the right soap.
Once found. il will be shaving soap
and toilet soap AT once as we'll as

During all these ablutionS, cold wa

Cold water. and sharp blade
these are the main essentials.
The third is the soap. the fourth is
the method herein outlined.
Together they make a shaving team
that does the work.
When We stop to think OF all the
men. down through the ages. who
have looked forward with dread TO
the daily shave. we believe something
ought to be done about it.
One has but to stand in a public
wash room and watch the gentlemen
shaving, or in parlor car toilet room,
to observe how so many of them use
tradition. rather than their own
brains and observations, to carry them
through a difficult task which their
obsolete methods make all the harder.

The Pinch of Taxes.

The Secretary of the Treasury stir

day. threatening to add pinch of
taxes. In the opinion Of Senator
Harrison. chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, who has been
carefully sitting on the lid so far as
increased Federal taxes are concerned.
this is Just too bad Like other Demo-
cratic leaders who are looking for
ward to next years elections. the
Mississippi Senator does not relish
the idea of serving boosts in LAKES up

distribute Federal funds to an appre-
ciative public, but it is quite another
thing to take these funds from the
pockets of the people. The country
has been assured by the adminiStra-
ton leaders that the Government can
get along without increased taXes-at
this time-provided the Presidents
budget is not exceeded.
To Mr.. Morgenthaus suggestion
that the administration would feel
compelled to levy increased taxes de-
signed to raise from 5000 100000 10

provides for the payment OF the bonus
with "greenbacks," Treasury notes
which can be turned out on the
presses of the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing. based on the say-So
and the credit of the Government
generally.
The Secretary of The Treasury,
however, insists that nothing must be
done to strain the credit of the Gov
ernment The quality of credit is not
strained, apparently, by the appro-
rriation of nearly $4,000 900 900 for
work relief and other kinds of relief,
to pile high the public debt 10 over
100000, 100000. The bonus. on the

Boon -doggling" Is hailed by the
country as a new type of activity, and
its discovery, in the course of an in
veStigation of relief work in New
York, has produced another debate
as to the value of the lighter forms of
made work. II also has caused a
wide study of dictionaries and other
books of reference. Some taxpayers
rebel at the thought that money
might be paid for trivial forms of
labor.
1T would be unfortunate. thinks
the Worcester CMass) Evening Ga
zette. If the derision fired at boon
doggling' (which turned out TO be a
kind of handicraft) and similar ac-
tivitieS we're to convey the idea that
relief work must necessarily be done
with pick and shovel" The Gazette
quotes a statement from Prof. Moley
that 1854 of the 10000 on relief
work in New York we're so-called white
collar workers. who would have been
of little use building roads" That
paper concludes that the worker
should be given the relief job nearest
that for which he or she is best
fitted"
Explaining the publicity given this
| word at the aldermanic inquiry IN
New York. the Flint CMichD Daily
Journal states: The aldermen were
deeply concerned because some So
100000 Of the citys relief funds was
spent in keeping people busy on re-
search in archaeology, for making
Typographical maps of distant islands,
on classes in eurythmic dancing and
on boon-doggling. 1t was this last
item that sounded particularly ridicu-
lous. especially because few knew
what it is. An investigation ensued.
And what is boon-doggling? Boy
Scouts would explain that it is what
they call braiding hat bands, belts
and neck ornaments out of leather
scraps. All this strange kind of work
has kept $4,000 'white-collar' workers
busy when the depression suddenly
took their highly specialized Joos
away"
Seriously considered" thinks the
Huntington wv. Va Herald-Dls-
patch, this is much less futile and
foolish than many of the relief under
takings have been. We are most OF
us too far away from the knowledge
that was essential in the lives of the
pioneers. Thrown on their own re-
sources, the vast majority of Ameri-
cans, among them the learned and
cultured, would be helpless. This.
however. is aside from the fact that
many of the projects under relief
have been improvised in order that
people might have relief employment. :"
Quoting the officials as stating that
'the beneficiaries had to live, even
though they could not be provided
with anything useful to do," the
Yakima CWash.) Daily Republic holds
that this is the best that can be
said for any of the work-relief pro-
grams" The Schenectady IN. "
Gazette. however. advises that "of the
$4,000 900, more than half would
have to be spent to give dole to the
families of those who are now given
the teaching and supervisory posi-
tions."
