What TO DO FOR
eczema ITCHING
and BURNING

Wash the affected parts with
ReSinol Soap and warm water
to soften scales and crusts.
ReSinol Soap is suggested be-
cause it contains no excess Of
free alkali, and is especially
suited to tender skin. Dry by
patting with a soft cloth-do not
rub.
Doctors recommend an oily
ointment because it penetrates
the outer layers of the skin more
effectively. Resinol Ointment
meets this requirement, and does
even more. For over 40 years
it has been-and still iS-Suc-
cessfully used to relieve quickly
the itching and burning of
eczema. 1t contains soothing
ingredients that aid healing.
Use Resinol Ointment today
and enjoy comfort tomorrow.
Get a jar, also a cake of ReSinol
Soap, at any drug store. For
free sample, write to Resinol,

In heavy rains with only watermelons

Leaders Of the tattered government

a few hours rest as they mapped plans
for bolstering the government defenses,

Government commanders, desperate
in the face Of the relentless insurgent

For the last three days, they said.
they have had only watermelons and
grapes and not for II days have they

The government retreat was de-
clared partly due to lack Of NUM-

to abandon Maqueda, strategic high

their field guns.
Gen. Jose Asensio, commander Of
all government troops in Central

campaign with his aides:
Strengthening of their lines near
Santa Cruz del Betamar with q sub
sequent offensive by which they hoped
to force the insurgents back along the

Torrijos, miles southeast of Ma

per cent Massachusetts,.
Why have "a States been so slow
in acting. when the Federal law pro-
vides that the l to 3 per cent pay
roll tax applies whether they pass a
law or not?
The real answer to that, aside from
the general sluggishness of legisla-
lures, Is that many employers are op-
posing the system because they don't
want to pay pay roll tax. They plan
to attack the constitutionality of the
act when Uncle Sam tries to collect
the tax for the first time, next Spring.
The New Jersey Social Security Com
mission has already moved for q court
test of the law.
II the Supreme Court invalidates
the Federal tax, this group of oppo-
nents does not want to End on the
books State taxes that are valid.
Partly for this reason, several laws
are now written 50 as to 60 of the
books if the Federal law Is ruled out.
You can lay down Q heavy bet that
all or most Of the States will pass un-
employment insurance laws If the
Federal act Is upheld by the Supreme
Court.

ROBINSON HITS
|. LANDONPROGRAM
Arkansas Senator Says
Farm Plan Is Inconsistent
With Budget Policy.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 23.-Sena-
tor Joseph T. Robinson said today
the farm program Of Gov. ALI M. Lam
don, made known last night, 'is incon-
sistent with his proposal to balance
the Nations budget"
an one breath" the majority leader
Of the Senate said, Gov. Landon
advocates the balancing Of the budget.
and In the next, he recognizes the
necessity Of continuing, while the
present conditions prevail, the great
expenditures from the Treasury for
cash benefits to farmers and for un-
employment relief.
Every one recognizes that these two
courses Of expenditure are what have
kept the budget out of balance"
The Arkansan made the comment
at Democratic national headquarters,
where he stopped of en- route to Hyde
Park for q political conference with
President Roosevelt.
Assails Tax Statement.
Robinson said the Republican NOM
inee insists that taxes shall be re-
duced, at the same time as the ex-
penditures referred to are being car
ried on-"which, Of course, Is calcu-
lated to throw the budget further out
Of balance"
1T Is also interesting to note that
the only taxes which he proposes to
reduce or eliminate consist in the So
called corporation surplus profit tax
or earnings tax"
Citing that this tax Is estimated to
yield around $500, ,000, 900 yearly, Rob-
inson continued:
Il ask any one who thinks he Is
able to answer it, including Gov. Lam
don, how is it proposed to balance the
budget promptly, while continuing
payments Of cash benefits to farmers
and expenditures for unemployment
relief, and at the same time reducing
by some $500 00o, 900 the Federal tax
incomes.
The opposition to the Roosevelt ad-
ministration may take from now until
the election to answer this question.
They will be unable to do So"
Attends Press Conference.
The Arkansas Senator, who con-
ferred with Chairman James A. Far
ley during the day and attended the
chairman's press conference, said the
speeches Of both Gov. Landon and
Col. Frank Knox, the Republican
Vice Presidential nominee, ''are, in my
judgment. helping the Democratic
ticket"
Col. Knox. Robinson said, "fails to
recognize the general intelligence of
the public" and he criticised the
Vice Presidential nominee for his re-
cent declarations that insurance poll
cies and savings accounts are unsafe
today.
In making such statements, the
Senator said, Col Knox shows a
reckless disregard for the commonly
recognized condition" Of insurance
companies and savings banks.
Chairman Farley announced that
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A
Wallace would reply to Gov. Landon's
farm address next Friday night.
