Americans who rejoiced when congress repealed
the pink slip provision Of the law governing in
come tax returns should take notice that there still
remains in the statutes another provision capable
Of bringing about just as much mischief as the cele-
brated law which was repealed.
Section 14S-D of the same bill, it is pointed out
by David Lawrence in a dispatch 10 the Philadelphia
Bulletin. compels the secretary OF the treasury to
make an annual report to congress listing the names
and amounts paid TO each employe Of a corporation
whose annual income equals $4,000.
When the pink slip" repeal was under discussion.
1t was most t~ruthfully pointed out that by making
public the income of every person rendering an in
come tax return, the government was furnishing free
OF charge a super-sucker-list for kidnapers. hold-up
men, blackmailers and gentry OF the confidence game.
The same argument holds true in the present case,
for congress would undoubtedly see fit to print the
list when received. At least. it would be an open
pubic record. available to schemers Of all sorts and
kinds.
Just why 1t should be the business Of any one out
side Of officials Of the internal revenue department,
what income any person or persons in the United
States receive, is hard for the average person to de-
termine. And just why it should be good business
TO make public the name Of the man whose annual
income is $751; 600 while the name Of the person whose
annual income is sl4.s999 so should remain an official
secret, is still harder to determine.
Congress went one step in the right direction when
the "pink Slip provisions of the bill we're repealed.
Congress should make it whole hog or none. and pro-
eeed with the repeal Of section l48-D.

What Is A Sport?

Most OF US are having a hard time to figure out
the why's and the wherefores Of the refusal Of or
ganized baseball to allow Alabama Pitts. formerly
OF the New York State prison of Sing Sing. to be-
come a member of the Albany team Of the Interna-
tional league.
Pitts participated in a hold-up in New York City,
went to the penitentiary and served his five year
term. While in durance. he developed into somewhat
Of a star baseball player and on his release was Of
fered a contract by Johnny Evers, manager Of the
Albany team. Now the higher-ups step in and say
that Pitts cannot play with the team.
Goodness knows 1t is hard enough for a man who
has once worn the convict stripes to secure employ
ment at any vocation as he begins his upward climb
and TO have such employment denied him when
secured, must be still harder.
But the joke OF the whole thing % the average
person lies in Pitts being denied permission to play
on a baseball team in what is perhaps jokingly call
ed a sport. It may be that baseball Is a sport but
that those who guide its destiny are not sportsmen-

Sensitivity to Foods
May Cause Distress


When you feel distressed after eating, II you're an
average person, you'll probably attribute the pain to
something you ate" an expression that has passed
into the language as the common explanation OF
most Of the things that are wrong with us.
During the last 10 years. however. evidence has
been developed to show that you may be especially
sensitive to certain foods and that you respond to
the eating Of such substances by reactions that are
far from pleasant.
OF course, there are ways to prove whether dis
tress after eating is due to food s~ensitivity or some
other cause.
In the first plsce, distress after eating when due
10 food ~sensitivity comes on suddenly and leaves sud-
denly. You probably will be able to tell that the at
tack is associated with the food that has just been
eaten.
1t is fairly simple to try out this kind Of sensi-
tivity by beginning with a few substances and grad
ually adding new ones. one at a time, until an at
tack is provoked. Such tests prove that 1t Is not the
amount Of food. nor the time or manner OF eating,
which brings on the disturbance. but that It In q
specific food substance.
For example, you may become severely sick from
a single spoonful Of one food substance, and yet will
be able to eat 20 times the amount Of another food
substance without having a symptom.
OF course. the attack may be due not only to the
original food itself. but to certain products that are
formed when the food is acted on by the acids Of
the stomach or by the digestive juices. Naturally
the condition can be overcome by avoiding those
foods to which you are sensitive. but 1t is necessary
70 find out exactly what foods are concerned.
If. for instance. you find yourself sensitive to wheat.
you may substitute rye, but you must be certain that
the rye bread you purchase is not q mixture Of rye
and wheat; and II you buy buckwheat, you must be
certain that 1t is all buckwheat.
Many Of the patented proprietary breakfast foods
contain wheat. Most Of the better ones now con-
tain on the label a list Of the substances that are in
cluded.
II you are sensitive to cotton seed. you must re-
member that cotton seed is the base Of many pre-
pared lards. and many oils, and that here are re-
cords Of people who developed asthmatic attacks
from drinking cotton seed gin.
II you are sensitive to cocoa, you must avoid not
only chocolate and cake and ice cream but even
chocolate coated pills. II you are sensitive TO any
member Of a certain food group. you must study the
effects not only Of that one. but Of all Of ne o.her
foods, in the same group.
