Shute Willie Macfarlane!
Their names sound roll call of
tense moments that have made golf
ing history, when prime "condi-
ton" and healthy nerves were at
premium. All are outspoken in
their preference for Camels.
"CamelS are SO smooth and mild
they never affect my wind" says
Craig Wood, pictured at the right
as he paused to smoke a Camel.
Willie MacfarIane adds: "Camels
are mild. They don't get my wind"
Miss Helen Hicks brings up the
feminine viewpoint. There's a
delicacy of favor in Camels that
appeals to women. Camels never
interfere with ones wind" And
Denny Shute says: II switched to
Camels years ago. 1 smoke them
constantly, without upse'ting my
nerves or disturbing my wind"
You'll Like Their Mildness Too!
Such experiences with Camels can
be matched right among your own
friends. You'll like CameIs too.
Camels are made from Costlier to-
baccos. They never tire your taste.

1t is true that this book is rather different from

enough Mr. Finney has written OF a travelling circus

It's a Delicate Question

IT takes the most delicate timing to determine the
precise instant when a bank ceases to be solvent
and becomes inSolvent busted 1t is like trying
define the instant when person ceases to be awake
and is asleep. Yet banker assumes obligation to
do just this and to slap down the window and run
up the white flag refusing accept another dollar
of the peoples money at the exact moment when he
is no longer in position to pay of. Many fnanciers
of that day obviously continued to accept the neigh
bors savings at time when they had reasonable
doubt of their ability keep going This would have
been felonous conduct
Certainly it was familiar story in the days when
the banks popping like toy balloons New
Years Eve that this that honest toiler went down
to the corner and showed in few bills against the
mortgage or the rainy day. only to discover next
morning that the bank blew up hour later
That was cutting the time pretty fine.
I may be wrong in assuming that all such cases
are Federal matters. but the Department of Justice
has been so active in the pursuit and extinction of
people who rob banks that it seems reasonable to
expect the same authority and zeal in the Of
banks which rob people.
At any rate, the Department Of Justice. while 1t
has been quite confdng not to say garrulouS about
the achievements of its f1y-cops. the G-men and
dead-eye dicks in analyzing cgaret ashes and read
ing footprints for to catch the red-neck type
of criminal has been remarkably bashful about its
achievement, if any, in the less spectacular field of
prosecution
With the local police forces so largely composed
of smal-tovn loaferS and former high school half
backs who like to ride motorcycles and toss their
locks at lady drivers, the necessity for a Federal
poce force is readily conceded. and the planclohes
mon under Edgar Hoover are to be congratulated on
their success against the rural bad men who were
setting the laws pretty much at naught While ago.

Your Health
-BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

NEVER let your body go to extremes. Too much
~ or too little, both unhealthy. And that
is especially true the activity of the thyroid gland
I have already described the way in which over
secretion of the thyroid affects the system Well, un-
deractivity is just as dangerous.
Underactivity of the thyroid is called myxedema
and cretinism.
Under this condition, a person becomes cold
fabby slow and dull. His body is bloated with huld
The skin dry and everything about the system Is
torpid The heart also. becomes enlarged and fabby
Persons suffering with this trouble can be supplied
with the extra thyroid gland material that they
ought to have and this can be given by mouth
VXTHEN the right amount is administered the
w effects are striking In few days the patient
feels warmer and begins to be alert He is able TO
talk more 1uently and to move his muscles more
accurately.
The fluid which makes his body soggy begins to
be excreted and the bloating disappears. His skin
becomes active Sometimes the skin grows fast
that these persons practically shed some of it.
The hair which has been brittle, becomes soft
and grows faster Usually in two three weeks the
patient tends to return to a normal appearance.
IF however too much thyroid is given there is
Il aching and tenderness in the muscles the heart
speeds up and there may actually be pain of the
in which the heart has collapsed because of
dosage of thyroid material
1t must be remembered that the heart has become
fabby and boggy from the material which sccumu-
ates as the result of the thyroid deficiency. and
that time must be allowed for the tissues to
to normal before pressure is put the damaged
organ.

justice New Deal ballyhooers can
point with pride" to the fact that
there were enacted:
The s4,OOO,OOO,O0O works-relief
program.
The social security bill.
The wealth-sh tax bill.
The central bank bill.
The Wagner labor disputes bill
The Guffey coal bill.
On the surface this is an i'm
preSSive record. Few sessions can
equal it. Yet. when the legisla-
tive tally sheet is examined in
detail. it becomes clear that the
President actually fell short Of
his goal.
Congress did enact a social Sc
curity bill. a tax bill, a central
bank measure and so on. But the
laws on the statute books were
put there only after terrific bat
ties, and in some cases are dras-
tic notifications of the acts
Roosevelt desired.
This was the case despite un-
precedented majoritieS in both
branches of Congress.
EVEN some of Mr.. Roosevelt's
l. close friends believe he has
himself chiefly to blame for this.
They point to the momentum
of the record breaking popular
Endorsement in last November's
elections and to the tremendous
majorities in the House and Sem
ate. The fact that despite this,
he was able to wiring only COM
promises from Congress. they at
tribute to three factors:
l. Mr.. Roosevelt's failure to
backstop himself on Capitol Hill
with able. loyal fighting leaders
? His lack of carefully thought
out plans and objectives.
3. His failure to stand firm on
his demands. plus the impression
among his own ranks that if he
were resisted with sufficient vigor
he would give ground.
Among New Dealers there is
much private resentment against
Speaker Joe Byrns. Chairman
John O'Connor of the Rules Com
mittee. Democratic Whip Pat Bo-
land and ether House leaders
who repeatedly Sabotaged Admin
iStratiOn measures.
Yet this could have been a diff
ferent Story-if the President had
asserted his authority last De-
cember.
The scramble for the leadership
posts was a wide open fight. and
Mr.. Roosevelt was strongly urged
by some of his advisers to throw
his weight behind men who be-
lieved in him and would fight TO
the last inch. But he did not
do so.
The result that the weak,
reactionsry. ba. .-slapping Joe
Byrns grabbed off the honors-
and the President paid for it every
day OF the session. Instead of a
loyal. aggressive leadership sup
porting him in the House. Mr.
Roosevelt was undermined by the
very men upon whom he had to
depend.
THE Presidents failure to for
Il mulate specific programs and
measures is graphically illustrat-
ed by the tax and central bank
bills.
