and sit in the orchestra of motion picture
houses. Also they can travel on ordinary
Pullman cars or 60 in the subway and in at
least certain sections of trains and buses -
but there it ends. Everywhere else in the great
cities of the entire world there will be more
smokers than non smokers.
Therefore, am afraid that what to do
about smoking does resolve itself into learning
to tolerate conditions as they exist. In other
words, we can set ourselves apart but when
we come into contact with others we can not
nor is it fair that we should want to
prohibit these others from the pursuit of their
comforts and pleasures.
There are, however. certain regulations of
taste and of propriety which well-bred people
are expected to observe. Such, for example,
as that visitor may not smoke in the room
of a sick person - unless the sick person is
also smoking. One who goes into the house of
stranger and is not offered anything smok-
able may not smoke, ever, without making
doubly sure that the hostess has no objections.
To ask, "Do you mind if smoker" - which
is the plainest requirement of courtesy is
not quite enough. One must be sure that con-
sent is given willingly.
One last word - notwithstanding the be-
havior of Mrs Inconsiderate and few who
copy her = this rule of dining room courtesy
is exacted everywhere: If the places at table
are set with cigarettes, this is naturally taken
to mean that people may smoke them as soon
as they choose But in the houses of the few
who do not put them on the table, nor have
them passed at dessert, it would be very bad
manners to light ones own cigarette and
smoke throughout the meal.
1t is still considered very bad form for a
woman to smoke on the street, and shocking
to see bride smoking in her wedding veil.
Surely it might be expected that during the
short time her veil is worn the moments might
be supposed to hold sufficient thrill in them
selves to be endmable without the necessity
for the stimulation of the comfort, or the
occupation of cigarette.

CRISIS ON BUDGET
CONFRONTS BLUM
Double Session of Cabinet
Summoned to Discuss
Attack on Boost.
ny the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 29.-Slashing at
tacks on Socialist Premier Leon
Blum's double budget" were linked
by critics of the government today
with predictions of bitter parlia-
mentary debate which, they said,
would shake the foundations OF the
cabinet.
Premier Blum called another double
session of the cabinet for today to
discuss the outbursts. arising from the
governments action of approving
giant increases in the ordinary and
extraordinary budgets for 1887 "a
boost of almost one-third from the
$2,116,000, 900 of 1886 to s2,76Q 000, 900
next year.
The newspaper Ere Nouvelle, de-
claring Socialists have returned a
double budget and special accounts
for unlimited borrowing" called on
Radical Socialist allies to reject the
program.
The newspaper cited the fact that
the radical congress had pledged faith
in budgetary equilibrium, which was
not in prospect with an already heavy
deficit and further heavy borrowing
proposed by the government.
Blow to Confidence Seen.
The Rightist newspaper Echo de
Paris termed the budget an "unprece-
dented project" and declared the ma
tons confidence was sure to be
shaken.
Even the newspaper Oeuvre, loyal
to the government, expressed appre-
hension Of a parliamentary often
sive," but Blum's own newspaper, LIE
Populaire. defended Finance Minister
Vincent Auriols acknowledgment OF
a deficit instead of trying to conceal
the truth.
Government supporters labeled the
project q transition budget" bridg-
ing the gap between former Premier
Pierre Lavals policy of def1ationary
economy and the Blum program Of
revolutionary spending" designed to
restore prosperity.
Detailed Probe Planned.
The Finance Committee decided to
start q detailed examination of the
budget tomorrow, with a majority
of lobbyites predicting the govern
ment, which achieved devaluation,
would survive the heralded budgetary
storm.
The major budget increase, under
the new plan, would come in ex-
traordinary sums totaling S644,00O,-
900 for ornaments, public works and
unemployment relief.
More than half of this sum, it was
decided, would be set aside for
STRENGTHENING Frances defenses. In
addition, the ordinary budget would
allot another 1858 100000 for de-
fense-making a total of s743,000, 900
for ornaments and defense.

SAVING BONUS BONDS

Apparently a large number ol
World War veterans, instead of cash
ing in ON their bonus bonds at once,
are holding onto them. Many are
so hard pressed by unfortunate cir
cumstances that they can't be ex-
pected to do that If people can
have those bonds. it is a fine and
wise thing to do.
The old American spirit said:
God helps those who help them
selves" 1t seems as if some people
today said: Uncle Sam helps those
who don't help themselves" OF
course millions of families have had
misfOrtunes for which they are not
at all to blame. and the country is
very glad to aid them. Any family
that saves its bonus bonds is doing
something to get back the old
spirit of self help.

WHEN THE DEMOCRATIC Party
adopted its platform in 1892, it was
by all reasonable standards, a good
platform. Mr.. Roosevelt announced
that he stood on it 100 per cent"
Ii there was anything in it that he
did not like then, he failed to say so.
Mr.. Roosevelt, on his first day in Of
flee, dumped the Democratic Party
platform overheard.
Only recently, the Hon. Farley let
the cat out of the bag; Mr.. Roose-
welt never intended to follow the
platform of his party. I'VE had it

the Tammany-trained Postmaster

Roosevelt did not have the courage
or the honesty to tell his partisans
that his own program was entirely
different than the party program.
Not so with ALI LandOn. He was
courageous enough. honest enough,

nomination that there were changes
for which he stood and which he
would seek to make if nominated and
elected.
There's quite difference between
man who would do that and a man
who would, and did. accept the DEM ,
ocratic nomination of 1892 under the I
false pretense of accepting its plat |
form, and who campaigned before '
the country on that platform, only
to scuttle it completely once he was "
inaugurated. And the difference is s
entirely in favor of the Fortnight Il

PRICES GOING rPl

Sooner or later prices are going to
rise all over the world, says the
London Economist. an English pub
licatiOn famed for its wisdom on eco
nomic questions. The American
people say their cost of living is
about as high as they can stand to-
day.
Back in 1920, when prices came
near jumping over the moon, peo-
pie formed overall parades, and
marched through the streets in their
old clothes, as a warning they were
tired of the high cost of living. The
result was a crash in prices that

HOW SHALL WE celebrate july
Fourth, the day when this greai
country was born as a nation? The
custom is to light bonfres and make
big noises. 1t is a sad day when
somebody's home is destroyed be-
cause the celebrations got too gay,
or when the little one loses an eye
or a finger.
That fire and noise, for some rea-
son. has to take place where other
people can see and hear the excite
ment. If you gave the young people
all the explosives they wanted. and
required them to go far out in the
country where no one would hear
them, they would reject the PROPOSE

THE BUSINESS WORLD usually
feels relieved when a congress ad,
iourIIs. even II the things done
eventually prove helpful. New legis-
Iation. good or bad. creates uncer-
taipty, and uncertainty stalls bust
ness.
Opinions as to the work done BY
the session OF congress just closed
vary according to peoples party in
clinations. Among the most i'm
portant laws passed was the new tax
legislation. This law was framed
partly to force corporations to keep
paying out earnings instead Of lock-
ing them up in surpluses. Where
large corporations have adequate
surpluses so they can keep going in
hard times. such payments should
help stabilize business. But where
small companies are trying. 70 ex-
pand and do more business, the re-
suits will not probably be so good. !

THE LATEST BLUNDER of Mr.
Farley is the worst of all. The des-
perate need of the Democratic Ma
tiOnal Committee for money to carry
on the Presidential campaign is we'll
known, but even the severest critic
of Mr.. Farley would scarcely have
expected him to raise it by making
what is virtually a levy on the en-
plOyes of the Federal Government.
ostensibly, the employees have been
asked merely to sell tickets for 81
each designing the buyer as a ''presi-
Dental nOminator," but the employe
is put under strong pressure to turn
in the quota assigned to him whether
he actually sells any tickets or not.
The letter sent the employe reminds
him that he is one who has "a special
interest in the success of President
RoOsevelt's campaign for re-elec-
ton" and he is also pointedIy advis-
ed. in a sentence printed in capital
letters, that the result of your per-
sOnal efforts will be acknowledged |
and appreciated by the National |
Committee" In other words, the |
employe is given frank warming that
his response will be noted by his
political superiOrs. Furthermore, he
is told that all returns must be in
by July 27, when the President made \
his speech of acceptance. The whole
effect of the letter is to suggest to
the employe that, if he values his
job, he should promptly send the Ma
tiOnal Committee the sum represent
ed by the tickets put into his hands.
Perhaps the appeal does not viO-
late the strict letter Of the Civil Ser
vice laws, but it obviously violates
is spirit, and the whole undertaking Z
'epresents one more step in the deg
'edatiOn Of the Civil Service under
he New Deal. The money sought h
nay be forthcoming, although some
mployes, notably in Boston, by re- S
urning the tickets have served no
ice that they will not be intimidated, r

IF YOU SHOULD search through
the files Of old newspapers, you
would find that the July Fourth ora
tion was about the most typical way
of observing the nations birthday.
The folks would gather in public
halls or at outdoor picnics, where
the principal feature was the adj
dress by some orator on the glories
of the United States.
Those old speakers had bombastic
ideas. They made the American
eagle scream and flap his wings, and
told how the United States was the
most glorious country on earth, aud
all other nations only feeble imita-
tions Of our grandeur.
It's a fine thing to remind the peo-
pie of the gIories Of our country.
What we need more now is how to
cure the headache which Uncle Sam
acquires by his fOllies, also how to
ind useful work by which he and
bis children can earn a living.

MUST THE COUNTRY suffer
again from such a drought as that
which burned out vast. areas in 1884,
Recent reports indicate a very low
rainfall in many states, largely in
the middle west and northwest, and
many families once more facing des-
titution.
What has got into our weather,
that these drOughts keep coming =?
Probably a study of the records for
a period of years would show that
nothing very new has happened. The
people who settled those lands many
years ago, also had plenty of trouble
from dry years.
Even states which have great fer
tility may be subject to years when
the sun pOurs down with unrelent-
ing severity. Day after day the peO-
pie look up at the skies, they see
cloud masses forming, and think the
life giving rain is coming. But the
clouds pass, and the fates seem
against them. The soil may be rich,
but if the skies give no rain, there
will be no crop.
The situation was made far worse /
when the needs of the World War
led to the cultivation of vast areas
of semi-arid land. Countless people
who have toiled over those lands for
years have seen their hopes disap-
pointed.
Much land has been settled that
should never have seen a plough, and
was only fitted to feed cattle and
sheep. Many states have suffered
from drought during the past years
hat have had more than their share
If misfortune. and are probably due
or a period of well watered and
prosperous years.
So long as these droughts con-
inue, the people don't have to lie
wake nights about surplus crops. Z

THE MOST dangerous place you
can be in the ordinary course of ex-
istence is in an automobile. The
second most dangerous place is in
your home.
These deductions are made from
figures recently released by the Ma
tional Safety Council, covering the
accident record during 1885, when
accidents caused more than 100000
deaths. Automobiles accounted for
$4,000 of the total-an all-time high
record-aHd home accidents for
around $1,000.
1t is a sad commentary on the
habits of the American people that
easily aVoidable home accidents
cause more injuries and deaths than
industrial accidents. The average
American industry has made as
founding strides in reducing both
the frequency and severity of acci-
dents. Part of this achievement fol- /
lowed better guarding of machinery. /

reduction was the installation of a
