FOR A RISE

The cost of living is going to take a
jump, If charts prepared by New Zeal
forecasters i'm Washington are correct.
Between now and June l. it is estimated,
prices will undergo a steady rise. This, it
is stated, will be due chiefly to increased
employment, a great volume of business
turnover, and the expenditure of $4,000
600 1000 on the recovery and relief budget.
The prospect is one to be greeted with
mixed emotions. A steadily rising price
level will be accompanied by a general
increase in values which will make it easier
to pay debts-and reduction of our ire
mendous load OF debt is an essential to re-
covery.
On the other hand, if the cost Of living
rises faster than wages and salaries, the
wage-earner and the white collar worker
will feel the pinch severely.
Fixing things 50 that prices rise just fast
enough, but not too fast, is apt to be a
ticklish job.

OUR TASK is TO AVOID NECESSITY
OF RELIEF

One of the dangers we face i'm consider
ing any unemployment relief bill is the
chance that we may forget that %unemploy-
ed relief, no matter how it is set up or
what benefits it may provide, is in the end
only a substitute for something better.
Recent argument over different relief
measures seems to have taken it for grant
ed that there is, somewhere, a magic for
mula which, if we only could find il, would
solve this vexing question forever.
Ii il most important for us not to forget
that even the wisest relief bill is only a
poultice. Even il every idle worker in the
land were drawing ample relief allow
ances under a scheme which magically
prevented the financial load from burden
ing the taxpayer, the real problem would
remain. We would still face the task of
getting these idle men back to work.
There is going on in Washington now a
lengthy argument between proponents Of
different kinds of relief. One kind is
typified by the administration relief
measure, which would operate through
state systems and would give jobless men
nm allowance ranging somewhere around
$50 a month.
The other, infinitely broader. is repre-
sented by the Lundeen bill, now being
discussed before a House subcommittee.
This bill would boldly pay all persons
past Is, who are jobless through no fault
of their own, a weekly sum equal to the
prevailing wage rates in their locality.
Those on part time work would draw from
the government the difference between
their part-time wage and the prevailing
wage.
Now this bill, naturally enough. is draw
ing superlatives from each camp. Peo-
pie whose viewpoint is that of the political
left are hailing it as a measure which will
mt last do justice to the unemployed con-
servatives, on the other hand, see in it a
piece Of extravaganza which would com
NIT the government to unbearably heavy
expenditures and would promote idleness.
What both sides are apt TO miss is the
fact that our real problem is TO arrange
things so that no unemployment relief bill
will be needed.
The immediate need may be to take
care Of the iobless, but the long-range
need is to get the iobless back to work.
Any relief bill, strictly speaking, Is a
piece of extravaganza sign that our

Girls More Than Boys
Fall Victim to TB
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association,
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine

one in every three deaths Of girls in this country is
from tuberculosis. The rate for young women is near
ly twice as high as for young men Of the same age.
Many causes have been assigned for this increase,
including competition in the industrial and business
world with men, the new flimsy type Of dresses worn
by women, the entrance Of women into athletic sports
dieting to satisfy the craze for slenderization, and
cigarette smoking.
The National tuberculosis Association decided to in
~veStigate the subject. It conducted a study Of the
life histories, habits, and surroundings OF all girls
between Is and % years of age in Detroit and in
New York who had died OF tuberculosis during one
year.
These studies indicated that many OF the causes
assigned for this increase in the death rates from
tuberculosis OF young girls could be discarded. One
third OF the girls had never been employed in any in
duStrial work, and one-fifth had been working less
than a year.
In New York about 4 per cent OF the girls who died
Of tuberculosis were found to have dieteo or used
other methods Of rapidly reducing their weight.
Clothing did not seem to be a significant factor.
because girls at universities who did not have tuber-
culosis wore about the same kind OF clothing as the
girls who died Of tuberculosis.
In her analysis Of the problem, one investigator
believes that the chief contributing factor was the
extra strain placed on young women Of these ages by
IIC CndIsco III lUcI DOQlCcs COuplcQ VIII Ile ueGeS-
sity for making new adaptations to life.
More than half the girls who died had been direct
contact with other persons who had tuberculosis,
without either taking proper preventive measures. 1t
has become a slogan that every case comes from an
other.
Because the tuberculosis in these cases was so rap
idly fatal, special causes were sought in the social
side of the situation. These indicate that the social
pressure Oh girls Of this age causes them to conceal
their symptoms in carly stages.
Moreover. there were many factors in their lives
which tended to lower their resistance.
Correlated with the idea that every case comes from
another are two questions which the doctor must ask
today, wherever he is confronted by a case Of tuber-
culosis. These are From whom did the victim get 1t?
To whom did he give it?
Every person associated In any way with a person
who has tuberculosis should keep these questions con-
stantlv In mind

She had no time TO think about

the pillows and Gale noticed with
a stab how old he looked.
He greeted her cheerfully. Yes,
Mrs. O'Connor had come in and
brought him some food at noon and
she'd been in twice since.

told him. You're to take IL three

But Tom Henderson said he'd
rather not have the light on. And
anyhow he didn't feel like reading.
Gale glanced at him anxiously
but the glance told her nothing.
She went to her own room and
changed the mill uniform for a

she expected TO find. there was a
pile OF clean cups and saucers,

She busted herself scraping car

as the vegetables were on the stove.
Then she made toast and poured

Funeral Board
Scores "So-cal'ed
Funeral Directors
SAYS CITIZENS MUST PROTECT
LEGITIMATE FUNERAL MEN

The State Board of Funeral Direc-
tors in release hit the activities Of
the so-called funeral director who is
serious menace to the legitimate
funeral director. "The state board
said, "Not only must the legitimate
director compete with the so-called
funeral director but must at the
same time try to appease com
planning public, because of the fact
that the so-called funeral director
with no regard for the profession
and in order to get business under
estimates the experienced undertake
err"
The public is interested in one
thing, i. e., price. Little do they
regard the value of workmanship at
the time the services are needed.
The so-called director" in order to
get the business and without regard
for the workmanship gets a case and
having no experience as an embalm-
er debauches the case to such an ex-
tent that the public soon places all
legitimate embalmers and directors
in the same category. Continuing,
the board said, "Little does the pub
lie know that there is difference
between a funeral director and an
embalmer. A funeral director under
the state law is prohibited from
handling case in any manner, he
must call in an embalmer to do the
work, he is not allowed to assist"
"The public should be informed
that the small so-called director can
not give the proper service that a
case REQUIRES. in addition to their
lack of facilities, they break all
codes Of ethics in other words re-
sort to "snatching" cases. This type
of director should not have the
approval of the general public who
must at some time REQUIRE the serv-
ice of our profession"

ANTI-LYNCH BILL
CLASH THREATENED
SENATORS SMITH AND BILBO
PROMISE TO FILIBUSTER
BILL

WASHINGTON, April 10 (Spec-
ial) - Strong southern opposition
Tuesday blocked an attempt to take
up the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynch
bill. A bitter clash Of sectional and
racial feelings were threatened by
southern senators in their plans to
filibuster against the bill. An effort
made by Senator Costigan (Dem.)
Colorado, to force consideration of
the bill caused Senator Smith (dem.)
South Carolina, to spring to his feet.
He charged that the measure was
an "open reflection upon the states
where the proposed legislation is
aimed to operate"
PROMISES TO TALK 10 DAYS
Opponents of the bill claimed they
could delay it indefinitely. Senator
T. G. Hell Raising) Bilbo (dem.)
Miss, said he could consume at least
10 days of the senate's time if nee
esasry. With some of their colleag-
ues, Senators Wagner and Costigan
have become the most unpopular
members in Congress, especially in
the border states, the bill is putting
several senators on "the spot" In
Maryland which ever way it's sena-
tors vote they are on the spot, and
senator's from various other states
are in the same boat, these states
having a large Negro electorate.
AS result they are saying, "Why
did Costigan and Wagner want to
bring this thing up anyway" The
president has pledged his support
and promises to back them in bring
ing a vote on the bill at this ses-
sion.
