A SQUEEZE PLAY FAILS

TT looked like neat trick, quick way to have
Il the utility holding company law declared
constitutional before the government knew what had
happened.
Utility lawyers representing the trustees of
bankrupt holding company went into Federal
court in Baltimore and asked the judge to rule that
the holding company law was unconstitutional and
to direct them to proceed with reorganization plans
without regard to the law. Another group of utility
lawyers, representing Burco, Inc, debtor of the
bankrupt company interviewed asking that the judge
rule the law unconstitutional. Then John w. Davis
drawing pay as attorney for the Edison Electric In
stitute but fnctionng in the role of attorney for
a Baltimore dentist who owned some bonds in the
bankrupt company. interviewed, asking the judge to
rule the law unconstitutional.
The comic touch was provided when Lawyer
client in open court after the proceedings al
ready under way.
The meiodrama came some days later when the
judge, W. c. Coleman handed down sweeping de-
cision that the holding company law was unconsti-
tutional 'in its entirety"
The anti-clmax came with the Circuit Court of
Appeals ruling that Judge Coleman's decision had
been too all-inclusive.
And the curtain was rung down when the SUI
preme Court yesterday refused to review the case
indicating that it considered the little one-sided
private bankruptcy Itigation--n which the govern
ment was not party of interest but in which the
government charged that those who were parties
had mo diversity of interest"-was not a proper
vehicle for testing the constituticaalty of the law
All that remains is for consumers to pay for the
show.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
Nv Mrs. Walter Ferguson

CT DON'T know how managed 1t this tn1e out
my wife didn't come with me to the convention" >
The man who said that grinned like Cheshire
cat at his two companions whose wives evidently
had come with them. Peevishness and chagrin
were family apparent in their faces. 1t was easy
to see they wished they had managed better them
selves.
What pity it is that more women can't listen
in on masculine conversation. Even though men
are not apt to say much on the subject OF their
domestic bliss or VICE. the Tilt of liberty in their
voices speaks volumes. When they are away from
women they caper like lambs loosed in meadow.
The husband who has to drag his wife around
on these get-together occasions generally feels
sheepish, and if the woman isn't uncomfortable it's
because she hasn't perception enough to she isn't
wanted.
The idea is subtly conveyed, of course. When she
steps out of the elevator all dolled up in her finest
clothes, the men give her the glad hand Only when
her back is turned they whisper about poor Bill
having to lug the old lady along everywhere he
goes and Singer at his discontinue and make
jokes about apron strings.
And poor old Bill does deserve bit of SYM
pathy, think. A wife parked overtime is far more
bothersome to the mind than an automobile in
danger of getting police tag.
Indeed, woman makes three mistakes when she
insists attending male gatherings merely be-
cause she happens to be married to one of the
delegates. First, her belief that she will get
hearty welcome; second, that she'll have a good
time and third, that she can look after Bill and
keep him we'll regulated.
She is victim of delusion at every point, and
about all she accomplishes by having her own way
is to make both of them miserable. The most i'm
portant lesson for bride to learn is when to tag
along and when to stay at home

CLOUDY TAXES

Il 7 was easy to understand the principle outlined
in the Presidents message on taxing corporate
SURPRISES. He proposed merely: That the government
discontinue existing corporation taxes, which rich
and poor 81 ockholders pay alike, but which are hid
den from their view that corporations be forced to
distribute the bulk OF their profits to the stock
holders and that each stakeholder include his dvi-
dends as part Of his regular income and pay visi-
BILE tax thereon in proportion to his ability to pay

ports
If you motor or hike outside city your chances
are about the same as they have been.
Automobiles still kill more people each year than
diabetes appendicitis or influenza, but cities
having success in reducing the number of such
deaths
In the year ending last March IA, the death rate
in cities was 226 per 100000 population In the
responding period of 1934-35 the rate 24.3. The
reduction this year is per cent.
The gain in safety is particularly notable in
view of the fact that automobile registration and
gasoline consumption indicate considerable in
crease in automobile in the last IL months.
indianapolis, however, had an average of 28.1
traffic deaths per 100000 population, better record
than the year before but still far down the list of
safe cities" Added automobile deaths have in
creased the 1886 traffic toll in Marion County to &c.
Outside of large cities, tabulations by the Ma
tional Safety Council show that the automobile
death rate was about the same in 1885 as in 1884
if allowance is made for the annual increase in
population. If the 1885 increase in automobile
mileage is taken into account the record would be
slightly better But the total deaths for the country

Did the Interstate Commerce Act
increase prices to the public? Did
it protect the inefficient? Did the
public pay the bill? No! The In
terstate Commerce Act just gave
the little fellow a break so he
could continue to exist.
In 1886 we again find public
opinion aroused as it was SO years
ago over the discriminatory rebates
manufacturers have been allowing
the big fellows. These rebates to-
tai millions of dollars. Again there
is a feeling all over the country
that there is danger in these re-
bates that have made possible the
building of immense fortunes and
excessive power on one side of an
industry, while on the other side a
million odd little fellows lose money
and power.
Today we find some of these pow
erful organizations, who have been
enjoying these discriminatory re-
bates, opposed to the Robinson
Patman Bill and any other legisla-
ton of this kind becoming a law

thing hard to understand is likewise hard to be
enthusiastic about
What started out as clear principle has become
in the cold type of proposed statute an exceedingly
intricate formula. We may not understand the sub
ject as well as a Philadelphia tax lawyer does but
neither do the members of Congress who are asked
to pass on the merits Of the new tax.
Perhaps some Of the confusion viii be dspelled in
the hearings Internal Revenue Commissioner Hell
ver1ng, one of the first witnesses, already has de-
clarad that the bill revised by the subcommittee
will not produce adequate revenue
1t will be interesting Also to listen to the ex-
perts explain how each variant Of the involved sched
ue OF rates is adjusted delicatey to permit each cor
poration to maintain adequate rainy-day reserves.
We do not here contend that the new tax plan
hasn't all the virtues its friends claim for it. We
merely compelled to admit after careful reading
and rereading in the Ways and Means proposal that
we find only confusion. But we're hoping for en-
lightenment For adequacy of revenue and adequacy
of reserves are the yarosticks by which the wisdom
or folly of this tax bill must be judged.
EVEN If the new plan produces all the additional
- revenue claimed for it, still-on the basis of
the Presidents own budget estimates-the gov
ernment's annual income will not be in balance
with the governments annual and recurring "ordi-
nary expenditures. It's estimated yield for the
next three years is about $345O0O00O short of the
total requested by the President And the Presi-
dents total made provision for the emergency
and relief expenditures which are now adding about
S3,OOO,O00000 year to the public debt.
Regardless of its other merits this confusing tax
scheme Is as smoke screen behind which the Ad-
minstration and Congress are ducking their real
fiscal responsibility 1t is their election sub
stitute for taxation that would produce revenue in
proportion to the governments needs.
They are gambling everything on business re-
covery that will automatically wipe out the relief
load and boost revenues We hope they win the
gamble. But we don't like the odds We would
feel far safer about it all if this tax bill actually
went after real chunk of revenue, by broadening
the income tax base and graduating rates upward.
Then, If the revival miracle should happen and
the government finds itself with more revenue than
1t needs, Congress could repeal some of the vicious
invisible sales taxes, and remodel our tax system
in line with the equitable ability -to-pay prin
ciple.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ

DEHIND the new glow lamps, de-
~ veloped by the engineers of the
Nela Park Laboratories of the Cen
eral Electric Co., is one of the most
interesting chapters in the history
of science.
These new lamps ere glass tubes
coated on the interior with a min
eral powder which becomes floures-
cent when an electric current is
sent through the mercury vapor
which fills the tube. They give
more light and consume less cur
rent than the incandescent f1lament
lamps now in general use.
The new lamps will seem very
old to those who remember the ex-
|periments with Geissler tubes.
About 1880, the Geissler tube was
invented by Heinrich Geissler, a
German scientific Instrument max
er. He found that if most of the
air was extracted from glass tube
the tube lit up with luminous glow
when an electric current was dis
charged through it.
A few years later, Sir William
Crookes improved the tube by in
creasing the vacuum.
But what Crookes and the other
scientists who experimental with
the Crookes tube failed to realize
was that these tubes were giving of
X-rays. That fact was discovered
by Professor Roentgen in 1893.
A few years ago a French inven-
tor, Georges Claude manufactured
Geissler tube filled only with puri-
fed neon gas. The result was the
familiar red glow tube.

easier to digest than one that is me-
dunn boiled, because in the hard
boiled egg the yolk is brought into
condition in which the juices OF
the stomach will act upon it better
than under other conditions.
4 N egg contains about half as
IA much iron as there is in one
third of cup Of steamed spinach
An egg yolk contains twice as much
iron as does an ounce of lean beef
or half cup of string beans.
A freshly laid egg completely fills
the shell. AS the egg cools and the
egg substances contract, air space
is left at the blunt end. AS the
egg grows older, this space in
creases. That is one way to tell
the age of an egg.
An egg laid in winter usually is
lighter in color than one laid in
summer. However, much depends
on the diet of the hen. Nowadays
poultry feeds are developed scien-
tifically, perhaps even more SO than
foods for human beings.
What the hen eats determines
the amount of vitamin and the
quality of the other materials in
the eggs. Eggs, therefore, are more
nearly like milk in nutritive value
than any other food.
Because of the ease of eating
and digesting soft-boiled eggs, they
are among the first of the foods
to be given to an infant after il
is taken off a milk diet.
If baby finds it impossible tc
take milk, an egg with small
amounts of fruits and vegetables
helps to make satisfactory SUBJ
stitute. Mothers should remember
however, that the yolk of the egg
is the most significant part in the
feeding of the child.

W7E often have wondered about
w the first human being who
ate an oyster or an egg. 1t must
have required good deal of cour-
age.
Yet eggs probably are among the
earliest of foods. Today they are
among the most important. In 1884,
it is estimated, we used something
more than 81 billion eggs in the
United States, of a total value of
$433, 900, 900.
Eggs provide protein, mineral
salts, water, vitamins A and D, and
a small amount of carbohydrate. An
average egg weighs 2 ounces. OF
this Is per cent is protein, 10 per
cent fat, per cent minerals, and
most of the remainder water
One egg provides 10 calories. An
egg, therefore, is not a. good reduc-
ing food. It is not filing and it
provides good many calories in a
small amount.
VOU should remember that an
l. egg kept at proper temperature
for three weeks will produce a
chicken which at once begins to
walk and eat Obviously, therefore,
there is a lot of power in an egg.
Egg is easily digestible. Its fat is
as easily digested as milk fat, which
is somewhat easier to consume than
fat of meats.
There are all sorts of superstitions
about the digestibility of eggs. Some
say that a soft-boiled egg is easier
to digest than a hard boiled egg and
vice versa. Actually the amount of
boiling does not seem greatly to in
fluence the digestibility. Much de-
ponds on the extent to which the
hard-boiled egg is chewed at the
time of eating.

FAVORS BILL AGAINST
BIG FELLOWS"

BY A. Kiefer Mayer
In the eos, railroads allowed dis
criminatory rebates to the big fell
lows or trusts. These rebates gave
such advantage to the big fellow
that the little fellow couldn't live.
There was a feeling all over the
country that there was great dan
ger in these mysterious organiza-
tions who, by rebates, were build
ing immense fortunes and excess
sive power, while the other side
steadily lost money and power.
Public opinion reached the boil
ing point and was finally cooled
when Congress passed the Inter-
state Commerce Act in 1887. This
outlawed rebates by railroads and
gave the little fellow fair break.
There was powerful opposition to
the passage of the Interstate Com
MERGE Bill by those who were en-
joying these rebates. They used
every means at their command to
defeat this legislation. They raised
the cry-"It will raise prices to the
consumer 1t will protect the in
