Plan of u. S. Fathers Confronts
Us Anew

While the specialists down at Washington grope
about among the w~reckase Of the NRA to see If any
OF the pieces can be patched up and used again, the
rest OF us might properly take time out to mediate
over the underlying issue which the u. 8. Supreme
Courts decision brings into prominence.
That issue IL nothing less than the question, How
far can the original American attitude toward the
functions Of the central government be preserved In
the face Of modern conditional
The confusion Of thought which resulted In erec-
ton OF an NRA framework 50 completely unconstitu-
tional that the court was unanimous in knocking IL
down comes straight from the fact that we tend to
look on the federal government in a light entirely
different from that in which its founders viewed It.
The men who founded the American government
represented many schools OF thought, but they were
close to agreement on one point: they distrusted a
strong central government as an enemy Of democracy.
Their first attempt TO found a government left the
several states almost independent. The articles OF
confederation were too loose. 1t took only a few
years OF experience to prove that q tighter union was
necessary; but even when the existing constitution
was framed. the trainers took pains TO limit the
powers Of the federal government, and TO reserve all
possible rights to the states.
Since then the whole structure Of society has
changed. In place Of a predominantly agricultural
nation. in which each community was largely self
sufficient. we got a tremendously complex industrial
nation with commercial and financial ties that made
every section dependent on all the others.
In the face Of that change. there arose a feeling
that many problems could be handled properly only
by the national government. We long ago discover
ed. for instance. that railroad regulation would fail
II left to the states. We seem to be moving toward
q similar attitude in regard to public utilities.
In the NRA decision. the supreme court simply re-
minded us that we have carried this tendency al
together too far.
For while one section Of public thought tends to
rely more and more on Washington to provide the
reforms and the supervision which q complex TWEEN
tieth century society needs. the fact remains that our
basic law is founded on the belief that the central
government should do as little OF that kind OF work
as possible.
The problem Of the moment. then, Is TO think the
whole matter through with extreme care, determine
Just how closely we wish to cling to this original
theory. find out exactly where modern conditions
make necessary a revision Of 1t. and then formulate
our future policies on a logical and enduring basis.

Things can get almost unbelievably topsy-turvy In
this modern world. and nowhere II the fact Illus
trated quite as sharply as in the recent news dis
patch from Akron. N. Y, telling how the state Of
New York ia spending s171 a week to teach the Sen
eca Indians how to make arrowheads.
The Senecas have established q center on the
Tonawanda reservation for the revival Of ancient
tribal crafts. They are producing bows, beadwcrk.
and 20 on, Just as their ancestors used
10; but they have discovered that not an Indian In
the tribe knows how to make arrowheads out Of
flint.
So white teachers have been called in.-white mems
books have been dug up-and the noble red men
are re-learning one OF the most important Of their
old, stone age crafts from white menl

One Of the most serious troubles from which you
should guard your baby is the kind Of play and
other activity that can result in lead poisoning. Lead
is q dangerous poison and. although 1t affects workers
In industries most. 1t also is known to have counted
many children among its victims.
There are many ways by which lead can get into
the body Of a baby. Sometimes nursing mothers use
nipple shields containing lead. Occasionally they put
on the breast. from which the baby nurses. a solu-
ton lead to aid healing.
Bakers used to color cakes and foodStuffs with
lead materials. and there have been times when
such materials were found in cosmetic powders. On
other occasions. lead got into water and food from
water pipes. and there are instances In which babies
suck or bite paint off the woodwork. toys. beds. and
cribs.
In Baltimore in 1882. there we're 4S cases OF lead
poisoning because poor people we're using discarded
storage battery castings as fuel in cooking and In heat
ing their homes.
The condition in which children eat dirt. paint.
plaster, or anything that happens to be around them.
Is 50 frequent that a special name has been given to
1t. 1t is called 'pica."
Once established, plea is difficult to check. 1t rep
resents about the same type Of condition that exists
in a horse when it insists on chewing stumps, trees.
and fence posts.
Eating these foreign substances Is serious for a
child. particularly when they happen 10 contain lead,
because lead is always a dangerous poison.
Doctors in Virginia recently reported the case Of a
girl. 3 years old. who ate paint off her ~play-pen. toys,
bed and bannister railing. Another girl, aged 4. also
sucked paint off her bed and toys. AS an infant the
child had regularly eaten dirt.
The doctor finds out whether lead poisoning Is
present by making X-ray studies Of the bones and
by examining the blood. There are also changes in
the gums. with the appearance Of what Is known as
q lead line.
OF course, the digestion is greatly upset. There may
also be commissions or symptoms concerning the ner-
vous system.
It has been found Of late that giving calcium to
such children. and administration Of extracts Of the
parathyroid gland aid recovery. Most important Of
all. however, is to stop the child from eating any
more lead, because continuation Of the habit will in
tensify the symptoms TO a point Of greatest serious
ness.
