Long DriUeS Them Wild

TNHERE have been many masters of the art OF
l. ribbng, but Senator Long is by all odds the
greatest of them all. Senator Long drives them wild
and since the man Bilbo, from Mississippi, who was
expected to outrib the Kingf1sh failed the gentle
manly element in the Senate it will be up to the
more civilized members eventually to take the
chance.
The man Bilbo brought in for the express
purpose of giving Senator Long tossing-arourd
either by word of mouth in the chamber of rough
and-tumble in the corridors. He has failed to keep
his bargain and it is a question of considerable in
terest whether he has choked up has some idea of
making deal and taking important place in
HueyS dictatorship of the United States which Gen.
Hugh Johnson in vision in New York.
The man Bilbo, has his vanity and his feelings
were hurt worse than he let on when the Ad-
mnStration wishing to take care Of him for a year
when he was broke and out of a job, contemptuouSy
put him work cutting clippings out Of the papers,
at $4,000 year. 1t wasn't the $4,000 year that hurt
the man Bilbo, but the title of pastemaster general
which was hung on him by derisive coumnist back
in Mississippi
The man Bilbo, sitting there now, looking up at
the Kngfish, would like to be big man, too but ne
knows he can never be anything more than just
what he is today if he follows conventional lines as
a member of an Administration which is trying to
carry on in the traditional way Of government.

Among the most interesting experiments now go

with ultra-short radio waves. These waves are also
referred TO as utra-high frequency waves.
Scientists Of Harvard University have succeeded
IN sending radio waves with a wave length Of u

a NrONG the most interesting developments of this
N sort is the ultra-high frequency link installed
BY the Bell Telephone System between Green Har-
Dor and Provincetown. Mass. These points are on
opposite sides Of Massachusetts, Bay.
The radio equipment is automatic, requiring no
attendants and the terminals appear the long
distance switchboards at Boston and Provincetown
so that the radio link may be hooked into any long
lines circuit.
II is planned that in the future radio links of
this will be installed wherever large bodies OF
water. high mountains. or unusual conditions make
the construction Of ordinary telephone lines too diff

A similar ultra-high frequency link is being in
stalled BY the International Telephone and Tele-

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

THE belief that certain thoughts held by an ex-
i pectant mother will induce specific character
istc in her unborn child doesn't seem to be borne
out by the facts.
Inheritance goes beyond mere thoughts or
wishes.
There is now good evidence that the color OF the
hair and its form whether curly straight pigmen-
tation of the skim and color Of the eyes are char
acterstics inherited to considerable extent by the
child from the father and mother.
It is also likely that tall parents will have tall
children and short parents will have short children;
but of course each of is not only the direct re-
suit of factors coming from the mother and father,
but also of factors coming from Other ancestors Oc-
casionally there is throWoack to an ancestor VINO
lived long before
THERE are ways of improving height-for ex-
i ample. the correct amount Of vitanins, the
proper diet and outdoor air in youth. There seems
to be good evidence that japanese children born ana
reared in the United States grow taller than Jap
anese children born and reared in Japan. Th1S is
probably due to the different type Of nutrition and
manner of living of the japanese in this country.
Diseases as such are not inherited. We do, how
ever inherit type of constitution which seems TO
make some of us more susceptible to disease than are
others.
To have tuberculosis it is necessary to get the
germ of tuberculosis into the body, but some per-
sons bodies provide a better sail for tuberculosis
than do the bodies of others.
THERE appears to be good evidence that cancer
i is inherited to some extent. out the conditions
of marriage among human beings are such that the
ccontrol of cancer by the control OF marriage seems
hardly feasible.
There is no reason to believe that woman who
sits before beautiful picture practices Tor hours
on musical instrument can make her child artisuc

that musical ear or a musical memory may DC m

When this momentous word
reached Beaufort County, North
Carolina, trial was in progress
in the Superior Court.
This fact, however, did not dis
turb one Of the attorneys, H. S.
Ward, a former member of Con-
greSs who was known in the House
as Hot Stuff"
Mr.. Ward interrupted the trial
as follows:
If your honor please, I have a
matter which think is more i'm
portant than this case. 1 have
just received word that Bob Reyn-
olds voted against the President,
and I think We ought to recess this
case so the Bar Association can
meet and discuss the matter"
Il think that is a good idea, Mr..
Ward" replied the judge. THE
court will take a recess for an
hour"
Whereupon the Beaufort County
Bar Association convened in
solemn conclave. and after debat-
ing Senator Reynolds action,
adopted resolution that his vote
in favor Of the McCarran amend
ment was not representative of
the sentiments of the Beaufort

legislation for fixing the work
week. When the 30-hour measure
was revived early in the session,
floor leaders brushed it aside as
not having d chance. Privately,
they are talking differently now.
They say there is strong posi-
bility that a work week limiting
bill may be enacted. They express
doubt that it will be a rigid 30
hour measure, more likely a COM
promise at a higher figure, permit
ting certain exceptions.
The fact that congressional

Reason for the changed congress
sional situation is the Administra-
tons abandonment of all pretense
that the NRA can do anything
about reducing unemployment
rolls. Also there is growing pres

Miss Perkins opposed renewal
of the auto code unless it was re-
vised to give labor a better break.
But the President turned the en-
tire question over to Don Rich
berg.
On the day the code was re-
newed. Miss Perkins tried repeat
eddy to get in touch with the
"aSSiStant-Pr President" and al
though only a few blocks sepa-
rated them she was unable 70
reach him.
She did not know the code had
been extended until informed late
that night by newsmen she met
at a White House reception.
A week later when the Presi-
dent sent the cigaret code to
her for an expression Of opinion
she recommended certain pro-
labor changes. The code was
signed by Mr.. Roosevelt without
change.
Miss Perkins has sided with the
Senate Liberals on the prevailing
wage issue. But the President has
not once consulted her about the
matter.
And now she has received an
other rebuff.
For several months Miss Per-
kinS has been pressing the A. F.
Of LIS demand o. Mr.. Roosevelt
that labor r given another
member or me NRA board. The
retirement OF DR.. Harry A. Mills
from the National Labor Rela-
tons Board seemed to open the
way for such a change.
Miss Perkins proposed that he
be replaced by Professor Walton
H. Hamilton. who is now on the
NRA Board. and that a laborite
be appointed to the NRA in Mr..
Hamilton's place.
The President appeared sold on
the plan.
But at this point. Assistant
President" Richberg stepped il.
He vigorously opposed airy
change in the NRA Board line
up. He had devised the board,
he declared. and to add another
labor member would throw it out
of balance"
So Miss Perkins plan went
aglimmering.
Sincerely devoted and loyal to
the President, the Labor Score
tary has taken her spankinys in
silence.
But to insiders there are signs
that she is far from happy.

Huey Won't Be Nice

CENATOR LONG promptly declined Senator Rob-
- insons issue of manhood and skeWered him
again with haunting allusion to the episode of the
golf course. He won't be nice, he never learned
manners he balls up everything with his shreWd
knowledge of his privileges under the rules he uses
his immunity to SANDER and insult people and when
it comes to an issue of manhood and the traditional
way of settling personal disputes he has ghost-fght
in his bodyguard, paid by the citizens of Louisi
ana to represent him with knuckles blackjaCks
guns, according to the requirements.
To settle an issue of manhood with Huey's ghost
fighters, the other statesmen might find them
selves required to hire unemployed prize fighters or
some of the Chicago gunner who seem to have been
thrown out of work in the last couple of years It
would be way Of putting some idle men to work,
at that although it might be considered pity that
the fate of some great item of social legislation
should have to be decided by couple of premi-
nary boys in the backroom of some saloon. Still,
the Darkroom of saloon would have some advan-
tage the United States Senate in the matter Of
decorum in these days of Hueys glory.
In the meantime Huey, though he blows out his
cheeks till his eye is sunk in the red folds and
thrashes the air with his arms in a wild show OF
anger, is having a magnificent time. Incorrigible,
irrepressble without scrupes and relieved of all
considerations of truth and civility which hamper
normal men in battles with those rare, free souls
who fight only tom-cat rules, Huey has the Senate
and the Administration almost frantic with futile
anger.
It is situation which Washington will long re-

your service, and 1 regret it only
on account of any further use it
