NOT TRUE TODAY

P 7. Barnum said there was one born every
minute. But that was in the day before modern
advertising methods were devised.
There is no occasion for being. fooled when it
comes to spending your money in this day and age.
Patronize the merchants who have reputation for
fair dealing and honesty. Such motives must &C
tuate the consistent advertiser. The man who in
vests real money in building reputation for HIM
self and his merchandise not afford to risk any
Eof it by taking unfair advantage of his patrons.
The consistent advertiser pays money to tell you
about his goods He knows they are good-he backs
them up because he believes they will satisfy. Only
merchandise which is consistently advertised So
advertising protects you against fraud and nferi-
GRITTY 1t tells you what is new and good, making
you wise buyer. 1t saves you money by pointing
out for your consideration only the best products
and the best places to buy them.
Thrifty men and women read the advertisements
in this paper regularly and profit by the dvice
they give. To them it is plain everyday business
propositions duty they owe to themselves and to
their pocketbooks.-Gaffney Ledger.

BEHIND THE SCENES

$4,000. 100000, according to the
balance sheets.
But if you are a Republican,
you must tell your neighbor that
the real cost of the New Deal to
date has been about $l7,700,000,-
600. You get that by adding the
bonds guaranteed by the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, the
Farm Credit Administration, and
other agencies, which didn't APP
pear in Morgenthau's statement.
Other items sometimes also are
added, but that ought to hold
almost anyone for a while.
ON the other hand, if you're a
" Democrat, it's the simplest
thing in the world to white down
the cost of the New Deal to less
than $7,OOO,OOO,000.
You begin by asserting that the
guaranteed bonds are adequately
covered by security and hence are
no liability. You then point out
that the treasury's cash balance is
So, 200, 100000. larger than when
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Mills checked
out of Washington, and subtract
from $4,000, 100000, which leaves
$4,000, 100000.
Then deduct that $2,000,000,000
profit" from gold devaluation
which is now in the currency
sterilization fund. leaving $780,
100000. ,
Then couple of billions more
in loans by RFC, PWA, and other
federal agencies which are sup
posed to be recoverable. By this
time you're down to $500, 000,-
900 and there are plenty of off,
Gals here who can think of more
deductions if you want them.
But the difference between
S17,7O0,O0O,000 and $780, 100000
would seem to be enough differ
ence to accommodate plenty of
campaign charges and alibis.

CIR WALTER RALEIGH, that
- gallant courtier of Queen
Elizabeth's time, was sailing down
the Caribbean Sea in search Of

1895, he sighted strange island

caulk the seams of his own ships.

ARE BOOKS TOO HIGH?
Ry WICKES WAMBOLDT

What is the need of putting an
expensive binding on book that
is here only for the season? When
you do not wish to preserve a
book, but merely to read it once,
what do you care what kind of
binding it has? Why should it not
be made as economically as good
print will permit?
Unquestionably the present pol
icy of book publishers in the Uni
ted States is driving Americans
more and more away from pur-
chasing books to patrOnizing lend
inc Libraries and public libraries.
Is it good sense for a person to
pay two dollars or two dollars
and a half or more for a book
when he can go to a lending IL
brary and rent it for ten cents
for three days and two cents for
each additional day, or can Dor
row it from public library for
nothing? Yet, he might readily
buy the book if he could get it
for fifty cents or a dollar. There
are millions Of persons patroniz-
ing lending and public libraries
who would much rather not han,
die a book that had been fingered
and thumbed through by anybody
and everybody.
In Europe publishers bring out
new books in two editions: a we'll
bound edition for those who wish
the books for gifts and for their
libraries; cheap edition for those
who wish the books to read and
throw aside. Wouldn't that plan
succeed over here?

WASHINGTON - The drouth's
w potentialities as major dis
aster in a campaign year nat
urally enough have aroused spec
ulation here as to the possible
political effect. Hardly anyone,
however, seems to have any clear
idea as to what that effect might
be or even to be sure that there
will be any.
1t may be worth remembering
that the great drouth in the sum-
mer and fall of 1884 was followed
by a Democratic landslide in the
November congressional elections.
Yet it would be hard to demon
strate that the fact means any
thing in 1861 that the big
drouth relief effort of the admin
istration two years ago had any
thing to do with the results at
the polls.
nROUTH causes livestock raisers
- to ship cattle, hogs, and sheep
to market as fast as they can get
them there. AS supplies pile up
at the packing centers, meat
prices tend to go down in proper
ton to the size of the glut.
Thus, steaks and pork chops are
likely to be cheaper between now
and election if the drouth intensi-
fieS.
Flour and bread prices, on the
other hand, may go up very soon
unless the drouth is broken. The
spring wheat crop has been hit,
and spring wheat is what goes
into bread.

L with figures, just take Secre-
tary Morgenthau's radio an

BORAH BACK

All! Back to normally. Order has been restored.
Senator Borah has announced that he is still Re-
publican. Says he:
81 have no intention of boiling the ticket l am
supporting the platform and have been supporting
the platform from the beginning"
And that makes everything just right. Every
four years this past generation, Hon. Borah has
threatened in the sprngtme to bolt the Republican
ticket, and in the summer following he has swung
back into line. But these be New Deal days and
one after another of the landmarks have been torn
DOWN. How was it to be known that Borah might
not slip his halter and really, truly, bolt?
But he didn't; and in that there is reason to
sarmise that politics is rocking along in the same
old track. Now if Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima win just reafirm his undying allegiance to the
Democratic party, the surmise may be put down
as a fact.-Charlotte News. .... sc.

NAVY IS GREATER INSURANCE FOF
PEACE THAN FOR WAR
CBy BRUCE CATION

One of the odd things about a navy IS
the fact that the less it is actually used, the
more valuable it is to its possessor. '...,
This fact is worth the attention of ma
ton which, like the United States, is spend
ing hundreds of millions of dollars every
year to put its fleet in shape. 1t was
touched on briefly in recent address IN
Washington by Admiral William H. Stand
ley, chief of naval operations. ,t.~.
eff through the existence of the navy,
remarked the admiral, eve are spared the
ordeal of war, and for generations the
navy never fires gun in anger or is en-
gagged in battIe-I say to you that no mat
ter what it costs US, it is cheap at the price
Any amount of fire insurance premium IS
cheaper than fire" "a .....
The weather is a bit sultry these days
for any serious arguments over military
policy. But the navy is deep-water lnstl-
tuition, and it goes where there are, cool
and salty breezes, so perhaps the current
heat wave makes it timely subject.
And it must be said that even if one does
not go all the way with Admiral Standley
in his conception of a navy as a war-pre-
ventive, there still is great deal in what
he says.
A navy's chief value is as threat ra-
Their than as an actual weapon. If the other
fellow knows you have one, and knows
that it can take care of any fuss that may
develop in its own waters, he is not apt to
come around and pick a quarrel.
And because of the unacceptable geo.
graphical fact that any nation which plans
to invade, Cypress, or otherwise bedevil
the United States has to come by water,
the American navy does in fact represent
the kind of fire insurance that Admiral
Standley mentions. .,...
For our navy does not merely insure us
against invasion; it makes it as certain as
anything can be certain in this CLANCY
world that no invasion of our shores will
even be attempted. ,.....
That is why those great gray ships of
ours, so expensive, so cleverly devised for
grim combat, serve their purpose best of
all when there is no enemy on the horizon.
Now it is perfectly possible, of course,
for US to misuse the power that they rep
resent. We could get ourselves into a war
in Asia or in Europe, send our fleet far
afeld, and use it for purposes not strictly
connected with defense of our own shores.
But we needn't, if we play our cards
carefully. We never will, if we once learn
the lesson that our navy is built for peace
rather than for war. -
The longer our navy exists in the piping
times of peace, the better is it proving that
it is worth what it costs.

strated where psychiatrists have been

leptic Experiments described by DR..
William G. LennoX of Boston show
that the "epileptic waves" actually
are accentuated by mental relaxation,
and especially by sleep. They disap-
pear most rapidly when the mind is
intensely occupied. The epileptic,
who has the queer sensation Of ''elec-
ricity in the brain" foreshadowirg
an attack, the tests indicate, does
best to fight it off by mental work.
Some drugs often used in treatment
of epilepsy actually accentuate the
epileptic waves. Dr. LennoX found
that inhalation of carbon dioxide was
the most potent way of reducing the
brain storms.
The wave pattern makes 1t rossi-
BILE for the first time to localize the
epileptic disturbance, within the brain.

CHILDBIRTH DRUGS
SCORED BY WOMAN
Revolt Against painless"
Methods Features Ses-
sion of Obstetricians.

BY a Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. May 15.-Led
by q militant woman physician, herself
the mother of three children, eminent
American obstetricians attending the
American Medical Association conven-
ton here staged dramatic revolt
against killing the pains Of childbirth
by any known drugs.
The revolt against what was char
acterized as q dangerous fad came
after three physicians had told OF
making childbirth painless by various
analgesics and amnesiacs without ap-
parent bad results to either mothers
or babies.
It was started by DR.. Gertrude Mel
son of Oklahoma City. The pains OF
childbirth, she said, have been 50
grossly exaggerated in the minds OF
American women that they are in
deadly fear at the approach of baby
This fear itself, she declared. Is large
ly responsible for the actual pains
suffered. The best role for the OBJ
stetrician, she declared, Is to allay the
fears of his patient and try to pre-
serve the feeling Of elation which the
prospective mother first feels over the
coming of her baby. Much Of the
process of childbirth, she declared, can
20 on independently of the autonomic
nervous system. which conveys pain
| impulses, II the mother Is free OF the
fear emotions.
Injury Of Drugs.
Drugs delay birth, DR.. Nelson said.
and psychoanalysis has shown that
many OF the nervous disorders OF adult
life can be traced to the trauma Of dif-
flcult birth. Also, she said, the mother
herself is running away from her
| troubles by resort to pain killers and
laying the seeds for nervous troubles
| later.
Normal childbirth, the Oklahoma
doctor declared, is a happy experience
and few women really want such q
great event in their lives to pass with
out knowing anything about it. She
apparently had said what many OF
the male obstetricians in the house
have been thinking for a long time
but have not dared to say. She was
followed by long line of some Of the
most eminent OF the country's OBJ
stetricians.
Interference with normal childbirth
Is taking the lives OF American
women, declared Dr. Buford G. Hamil-
ton Of Kansas City. American OBJ
Stetrics," he said, seems to be be-
coming competitive practice to please
American women in accordance with
what they read in the lay magazines" !"

clared that the pain of childbirth is

1t Is as II an electrical storm were
same. The patterns, in turn. fall into
four general classes. which persist
throughout normal life. Each indi-
vidual seems to fall into ore or an
other of four electrical patterns.
First and probably most common Is
the "alpha-wave dominant" class.
These persons. if their brain wave
record is taken when their eyes are
closed and the mind at rest, show
regularly recurring and strong mani
festations of the l0-wave-a-second
rhythm, the same as the Berger
rhythm. Second is the alpha sub
sweeping back and forth over the cere-
bral lobes.
Evidence that the brain wave may
be fundamental in the mechanism of
human personality was presented by
Drs. Hallowell Davis and Pauline A..
Davis of Harvard University. The
Berger rhythm pattern varies for each
individual. Details of this pattern,
DR.. Davis showed, change with time,
but the general picture remains the
