A Book a Day
He Debunks Fraud And It's Debunkers
BY BRUCE CAPTION

In 'The. Popular Practice of Fraud", the outspoken T. Swann Harding not only unlimbers his guns at unreliable manufacturers and dealers, but takes healthy crack at the debupkers of these gentry as well.
 He writes a survey of the fields covered by such measures as the Tugwell bill, of blessed memory. and puts together enough unpleasant facts to persuade the stubbornest reader that some dras- tic revision of our federal food and and drug codes is vital.
 Having done that, he turns on the "100.000,00O Guinea Pigs school of writers and announces that they are harming their cause by making extravagant and un- warranted statements.
 The Tugwell bill became the Copeland bill, at the last session of congress, through a process o1 compromise.
 The authors of the above-men. tioned book, and other liberal spokesmen, have declared that this change emasculated the bill and made it nearly worthless. MI Harding disagrees violently. On the contrary, he says. the Copeland bill represents an i'm measurable advance over present legislation. Those who criticize 1t and demand the original Tug. we'll bill or nothing, he asserts are helping to deny the consumer the protection to which he Is en' titled.
 For the rest, MT Harding goei in the deceptions which are tt
 be found in the field of proprie' tary medicines. cosmetics, food' and the like, and writes 6 spirited and revealing book which has great deal in common with thu
 works which the author attacks Published by Longmans. Greer and Company. it sells for s2.60.

 Things are going from bad to worse with 1.-The Man, BllbO.
 It was bad enough to face the prospect of having his Mis- sissippi rival, ex Sc nat o ] Stephens, made a director of the REC.

 Moffett already had eight dep- ants, whose salaries aggregated $50,6OO. But room was made for one nOrc-at $7,OOO.
 Campaigning against Stephens : last summer, Bilbo declared he would get the home folks so many jobs in Washington. that they would have to establish colony of Mississippians on. the lovely banks of the Potomac"
 The home folks arc coming, but they are BilbO's enemies, not his friends.
 He tried to get a job for one friend-a woman without suc- cess. She received the run around" until, her funds were ex- hausted, and now is being shell tered by Bilbo's secretary, also woman.

TORY SNIPERS

Before the session convened the president was warned that the chief obstacle his legislative program would have to over- come would be the secret hos- tility and covert undermining of old guard democratic leaders.
 The soundness of this counsel is graphically illustrated by two behind-the-scen incidents that occurred during the senate bat tie over the work-relief bill.
 When the measure was re- turned from the appropriations committee for the second time, liberal democrats discovered changes in the language which aroused their suspicious.
 Senator Costigan immediately sought out Senator J m m y Byrnes, one of the managers of the measure, and bluntly asked if it was not true that under the

Indeed, the Eagles are so hard
pressed for boxing talent that the
student-coach, Joe Carlo, who
tips the beam at the imposing
weight of 165 pounds, may have
a dual assignment-light-heaVy-
weight and heavyweight.
Only One With Experience
On top Of that, Carlo, who
played tackle on the football team
last fall, is the only member of
the meager roster with previous
experience, having boxed a little
as an amateur in his home State,
Pennsylvania.
The Eagles are woefully lacking
in talent for the heavier weights,
though Albert Bugs" Hanawalt
may be used in the light-heavy-
weight bout against the Tigers,
which would leave Carlo fresh
for the heavyweight job.
Kid Classroom already has
marked the first defeat against
the green squad; Jack Simms,
145-pounder, becoming ineligible
for the current grade when he
failed to obtain passing marks in
the midyear examinations. Cor
don Sievers may replace Simms
but it is likely this division bout
will be forfeited.
Not Even a Cheer Leader
The Eagles have no one, not
even a good cheer leader, to use
in the 115-pound class but John
Meininger is prepared to give and
take it in the 125-pound class,

Many hoped, even figured, Cen
tral might jolt Eastern in yes
terday's contest between the two
teams. During the first quarter,
the Mt. Pleasanters offered every
indication they might be on the
long end of the score at the
finish.
Bill Tohmpson, lanky center,
started the team scoring by shoot
ing two overland markers into
the rim from the pivot play.
Billy Vermillion added to the en-
joyment by sinking basket
from the side of the floor. Dur
ing the remainder of the half,
it kept going like this, the only
exception being Eastern continued
stubbornly in the fight also, the
first quarter ending, IA to IL in
their favor and % to II at the
half.
After the intermission, the pace
became too fast. Eastern, with
