GOVERNMENT COMPETITION"

The charge of government interference in busi ness has been hurled at the present Administration almost since its inception and this being campaig year the becomes louder; obviously intended for campaign fodder, although there are many soun business men who not in sympathy with an trend toward government control. Daniel C. Roper Secretary of Commerce threw some interesting lgh on the situation in recent address when he said:
 Nothing would please the national govern ment more than to be able to end relief ex- penditureS on July l, 1886. But under the present circumstances we can visualize what distress such would cause Even those who now dissent most vehemently with regard to governmental expenditures would, until local conditions are better worked out admit the lack of wisdom in such action. No single step would probably bring about such a serious business setback as the immediate cessation of federal relief expenditures.
 Business has stated that if it were certain of what the future held forth in respect to the governments attitude and action it would move ahead with still rapid progress It should be evident to all of us that the gov ernment has no desire to compete with pri- vate industry. There has been a great deal of generalized talk about government petition" When it does exist as a serious deterrent it should be criticized openly and frankly but with bill of particulars But again true issues obscured by unsupported
 
 an increase in certain governmental activities, discrimination should be exercised to deter mine whether the temporary activity is really competitive with private business and supplants functions which private business has been satisfactorily carrying. There have been claims of the deterrent effects of gov ernment competition in certain industries, but there must be an inconsistency in such claims when such industries register remarkable gains and improvements. Certainly this would not be possible if so-called government competition exerting destructive in- fluence
 Pointing to the steps the government already ha taken toward passing back and more of the res possibility it accepted back to private management Secretary Roper stated:
 Now that the graver aspects of emergency are over the Administration seeks every op- portunity to pass back to private auspices and non-federal governmental agencies those functions transferred temporarily by the dras- tic depression situation For example the Home Owners Loan Corporation, organized to re-finance homes and provide more equi- table mortgage basis, has completed in large measure this specific task and is now

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. Q.
Fires were being rebuilt in the
boilers of the Kelly Springfield
Tire Company plant here today, in
preparation for a return to work
tomorrow of employees who nave
been on strike for over a week.
An agreement between officials
of the firm and the strike leaders
was reached last night. and shortly
afterward approved by Local No.
26, Rubber Workers of America.
The terms provide that the COM
pany will deal with the union in
the future; rehire all strikers
without discrimination; rear
range it's schedules to curb fur
Laughing; and study methods of
providing a raise in wages.

She is 5 feet 8 inches tall,
weighs 1873 pounds, and has set
of measurements that give the
| teen age Venus something to
ponder over:
Bust, 35 inches; waist, 26
inches; hips 35 inches.
Her beauty formula is as SIM
pie as it is rigorous-keep in trim
through daily exercise, get suf-
ficient sleep, relax completely
some part of every day, eat SEN
sibly, and avoid carbohydrate
"binges."
After 80 beauty is an art, and
plenty of work goes into it. 1t is
impossible to keep lovely in the
crucial thirtieS without making
some effort and, just as you give
daily care to a fresh complexion,
you must exercise for slim, sup
pie figure.
However, there is no reason why
the figure should not be lovely
statistics show that normal
weight at 80 is the healthieSt
weight from then on, and women
with perfect figures at that age
prove that measurements need not
change except for the better.
The following group of eX-
ercises will help you to revise,
improve, or keep your own meas
urementS. For the abdomen, hips
and waistline:
Position, lying flat on the back
on the floor, hands ClaSped behind
the head, elbows bent.
Movement Raising the right leg
off the floor and at the same time
raising the head and shoulders,
bend the right knee and touch the
knee to the left elbow. Now, touch
the left knee to the right elbow,
keeping the right leg on the floor.
Repeat five times, relax and repeat
five times again.
The second part of the exercise
is to touch both knees to the ell
bows simultaneously, lowering the
legs to the floor after each move
ment.
After 80 there is a tendency for
the flesh on the back of the upper
arm to become soft and flabby,
and here is an exercise which tones
the triceps muscles and firms the
surrounding tissue:
Position: Standing, arms ex-
tended in front of body at shoulder
level, fists clenched.
Movement: Bring the fists back
toward the shoulders, bending the
elbows and pushing the shoulders
we'll back. Now strike out with both
fists together, as if delivering
blows. Put punch into the forward
thrust. Do this exercise ten times;
relax. and repeat ten times.

John Kiupers, authority on fur

talked to the selling force of a
local store Monday night, stress
ing the Importance of quality over
price.
Illustrating by motion pictures

Kiupers proved that fine furniture
requiring time and skill in con-

DOG DIAGNOSIS
IS ESSENTIAL
BY MILTON A. BOsLEY, D. v. M

BY MILTON A. BOSLEY, d. v. M.
Examination of an animal is
classed under two heads; a gen.
eral and specific examination.
In case of an injury the general
examination is the method gener-
ally followed in surgical diseases,
as for instance in the case of an
injury where your veterinarian
carefully examines the injured re-
gion of the animal and then di.
reefs your attention to the other
parts of the body.
The special examination is made
when special organs of the body
are considered.
1t is frequently necessary to
make a microscopical examination
of the blood or faces Of the ami.
NAL, or by means Of trocar, OBJ
tain some of the contents Of GER
tain tissues or cavities of the body
to ascertain their true character
and composition.
Also. I often find Roentgen rays
useful. Pathologically, these rays
are also used to obtain a photo,
graph of some foreign body or
examine the skin to detect the
presence of parasites or their EN-.
bryos.

time. "Oh." said Sam, you tell the

BIG DROUGHT
YET TOCONE

Drought of even greater inten-
sity than this years dry spell will
prevail in the North Central States
between 1888 and 1910, the Smith
sonian Institution predicted today.
The prophecy came from DR..
Charles G.. Abbot, secretary Of the
scientific agency, who declared
studies of the water level in the
Great Lakes indicates that varia-
tons in rainfall occur in 23-year
cycles, but with the most intensity
every as years.
DR.. Abbot said the present
drought began in 1929 and will
grow worse until about 1910, when
it will begin to decline.

took a nice little sail that night
after which young Sam regretfully
informed the owner that he had
decided not to buy the boat after
all.
But he kept his word. He did
send a check promptly to the
captain as a little bonus, for the
boys for having to work over
time-also for his kindness in
furnishing the liquor.
Sam will learn here that the
check has not been-and never
will be-cashed. The captain
turned it over to the boats owner
who still has it. The check was
for $3.50!

THE VOICE OF
Broadway
BY Louis SObOl-
CIose-ups and a Few
Fadeouts!

Impetuous young Mr.. Quentin
Reynolds, who draws a princely in
come turning out readable pieces
for the nickel magS, received a
clever little postcard from a preco-
cious youngster of Hollywood. He
is very fond Of the girl and even
fonder Of her pretty and famous
mama, whom, at various times, he
has been reported about to wed.
He spotted Mr.. Jack Kirkland, the
playwright, who had just returned
from England, and sat down with
him at a corner table in 81. Read
that, Jack-from a kid who isn't
10 yet. Smart, yeh? I'm nuts
about her." Kirkland read the
card, looked up at Reynolds and
drawled; "Yeh, y'bet. I always
thought so. I'm nuts about her
too" And then Reynolds snapped
out of his fog and realized he was
showing the card to the papa of the
little girl-who, so therell be no
mystery about this business, is
Patricia Carroll Kirkland.
The genial young exploitation
genius, Mr.. Monte PrOser, who
is somewhat in the dumps these
days because of the crack-up of
his romantic merger with the
lovely Julie Jenner, decided to
shake the town for few days
and forget his woes at the Gross
niger Country Club. What has
disturbed Monte more than any,
thing else, as you may have.
read in the department of my
cOnfereres, is that Mr.. Jack
Kriendler, of Jack and Charles,
is reported to have stepped into
the picture. Mr.. PrOser decided
he would like to forget all about
Julie, Kriendler, Broadway
columns and the like. So he
stepped up to the bar at Gross
inger'S Saturday night and
ordered Scotch, which is often
conducive to fOrgetfulneSs. He
had just taken the drink when
his eyes fell on the bottle. He
let out a yell, grabbed the bot
tie and smashed it. Satisfied,
he started to pay for the dam
age when his eyes fell on the
gent who had served him the
drink and whom he was about
to pay. Then he let out an
other yell. The Scotch he had
swallowed was a famous brand
handled exclusively in this
country by Mr.. Jack Kriendler
and his partner, Charles Burns!
The gent who had served him
was Mr.. Sam Kriendler, cousin
Of Jack!

was liquor aboard, locked up-but
it belonged to the owner and he
didn't know just what to do under
the circumstances. He was per-
