satisfaction that "after more than two
years OF camoufage. OF sham and pre-
tense. the true nature Of the New
Deal has been dragged out Of the dark
corner In which it has lurked and
been brought into the open"
We rejoice, too," he said, that the
veil has been torn asunder and the
issues rendered not by the brain trust.

Mr.. Roosevelt himself"
Harmony among all groups opposed
to the New Deal was urged by Mrs

publican Grass Roas Conference at
Springfield, Ill.
THE present is not an honest, nor

with to preserve as much Of the New

Most of his critics find fault be-
cause he did not guess right on what
the Supreme Court would do. Well,
as Senator Lewis of Illinois presented
in q Senate speech. the Court pro-
nounced unconstitutional seven acts

some great lawyers advised Gen. Dawes
that the loan was legal, and that when
the Government sought to collect the

an opinion that the Government could
not enforce collection because the loan
did not, in the first place, conform to
legal requirements. All Of which ap-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 24.-A unique
picture of New York City's infant
mortality for 100 years past-showing
death rate at the start Of the nine
teenth century no greater than that
at the start of the twentieth-was
presented today by the Department
of Health.
Drs. Charles Bolduan and Louis
Weiner, who made the study, said it
was the first complete presentation
for such period in any city.
Although the mortality rate in 1910,
their chart showed, was only about
ITO per 1000 births-the same as in
1910-a peak of about 230 was
reached shortly after the Civil War.
Efforts to give babies better atten-
ton followed and the death rate fell.
In 1880 it was less than 60 and still
falling steadily.
The physicians noted that the birth
rate. calculated at 40 in the first half
Of the nineteenth century, had fallen
to Is in 1880.

LOS ANGELES, August 24.-Pre-

Smith said.
There are a few points we can
polish off which will give us few
more miles per hour.
But the only other avenue we have
for developing greater speed lies in
the stratosphere."
Smith sees no urgent, immediate de-
Ihand from the country's skyriders for
more speed, but he predicted:
AS time goes on, and within a
few years, the cry or more -peed will
increase, just as 1t has mounted since
time began.
Pressure Supplies Air.
Problems to be overcome, he said,
include the supplying Of air by pres

the development of a motor super
charger that will function to meet

In analyzing the accomplishments OF
