ANEW FOR STEEL
Inland and Carnegie Firms
Free of Charges, Labor
Board Says.
Ey the AssociAred Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Informed by the Labor Relations
Board that no charges Of violating the
Wagner labor disputes act had been
made against the Inland Steel Co. of
Chicago and the Carnegie Illinois
Steel Co. Of Denver, Secretary Ickes
today began new negotiations for pur-
chase Of sheet steel piling for the ALI
American Canal.
A $40,086 contract with the Jones &
Laughlin Steel Co. of Pittsburgh,
whose bid was identical with those of
the two other companies, was can
celed by Ickes at the request of the
Labor Board.
Action Announced Yesterday.
The Interior Secretary's action was
announced yesterday. q day after the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals at New Orleans decided the board
had no power to compel Jones g.
Laughlin to re-employ workers al
legedly discharged for union activity.
officials predicted that in future
cases OF identical bids on either In
terror Department or Public Works
projects, firms charged with violating
the Wagner act would be barred from
contracts. Low bidders, however,
would have to be given the contract
regardless of any charges.
In all, four companies had sub
mitted identical bids for the 1,43S, $50
pounds of steel piling to be used on
the Imperial Dam of the All-American
Canal, but Bethlehem Steels bid was
disqualified by Ickes because of dis
crepancy."
Contract Given May Is.
The contract originally was awarded
to Jones & Laughlin on May is on
the ground that, since it was farthest
away from the dam site, the railroads
might get some extra business. This
has been a common practice of Ickes'
in deciding awards in cases of iden-
tical bids,

boys had much money, the most en-
We'd Of them having only $50 month.
When ALI spent too much money his
first year, he was notified that hence
forth he would not be on an allow
ance, but on joint account with his
father. Inclosed was a check book.
He was on his own responsibility.
The incident may have been O key
tc AT Landon's attitude all the way
through college and later. He took
responsibility seriously. When he felt
no personal responsibility he could be
an easy-going as anybody.
He generally was considered a little
above the average as student and
very much above the average as q
good companion, when he wasn't of in
a corner with book. He read his
tory, not included in his courses, un-
til 2 and o'clock in the morning. He
liked to take long walks and hunting
or fishing trips with two or three
friends. He liked to wear himself
out. He was considered the executive
type that could be trusted to manage
class banquets and law school affairs.
Frat President Two Years
As president Of the Phi Gamma
Delta Chapter for two years he ran
the fraternity affairs with q strong
hand. He caused the chapter to vote
for rules which required tine treasurer
to follow a specified method of book
keeping. The explosion came when
he put the chapter on q budget basis,
a rule that applied to food as well
as everything else If the money ran
low the boys could expect to spend
the last week of the month on beans.
Like a good politician, he promised
something in return-more money for
the big annual party. One night he
discovered at the ice box several
youths attempting to pry of the lock.
Its just a question of whether or
not you fellows want more than your
share out of the commissary," he said.
We've got just so much money to
spend. What you eat here will come
OF the dinner plates of everybody
else. If you can convince yourselves
and me that 1t is fair I'll unlock the
icebox."
The other organization was T. N. e,
q Greek etter organization of dubious
standing with the school authorities.
The purpose of T. N. e. was having
a good time, especially on parties,
which consisted of a keg of beer and
crowd of boys in a wagon driving
OF to the country to the merry jang-
ling OF tin cups. Landon joined in
the fun and had his share Of mild
trouble with the school authorities.
This was the same Alf Landon who
took the lead in barring liquor and
gambling from the fraternity house.

MAYOR MENACED
BY BLACK LEGION
Appears at Probe With Two
Armed Guards and Wears
Own Pistol.
Pv the Associated Press.

DETROIT, June 17.-Mayor Will
liam w. Voisine of Ecorse, carrying
a pistol in his belt and accompanied
by two armed bodyguards, told news
men today his life had been threat
ened and that he had been shadowed
within the last two weeks, apparently
by members of the Black Legion.
Voisine was spectator in Record
er's Court, where three men charged
with conspiring to kill him last Au-
tumn shortly after he escaped unhurt
when his house was bombed, are to
be examined today.
The examination Of II other men
charged with a similar Black Legion
conspiracy to kill Arthur F. Kingsley,
Highland Park newspaper editor, was
under way when Voisine and his
guards arrived in the court room.
"a voice I didn't recognize called
me June and said: You'd better lay
of this investigation or you'll get
one-way ride" Voisine said. II hung
up. The man didn't say he was with
the Black Legion, but the only in
veStigation I was making at the time
was into Black Legion affairs, so I
assumed that was what he was talk
ing about"
The following day, Voisine said. he
was out of town, but a friend told
him that two men spent the entire
evening watching parked car which
looked inst about like mine The
car was parked in front Of the cafe
owned by Voisine's brother, Gilbert.
The grand jury. investigating
charges of terrorism and political
intrigue by the Black Legion in Pom
tiac, summoned every employe of the
city today to testify before it and
announced that questioning of every
officer and employe of the county
would follow.

 The children are right. All the tIme-fillers and body-exercisers in the store won't give them any thing to do, unless purpose is provided to give them interest.
 Give child the merest outline of an Idea for play, real reason for 1t, and he will do the rest. This is the secret of the game Think of yourself. for instance with a deck of cards. Would we be interested in laying out pretty queens and magnificent kings just because we like the colors? Cards are merely a means to an end And go are toys.

While 1t is right and proper to leave children pretty well alone when they play, 1t is a good idea to give them something to play with. Next to that, running close scc- ond, is to give them something to play about.
 At first, when released from winters prison. youngsters arc satisfied to behave like any other young animals with the rope cut.
 They get enough thrill just rum ming, climbing, pushing and yell ing. But the time soon comes, af- ter muscles are fairly well stretched and bones warmed by the sun, when the poetry Of mere motion no long CT charms.
 The skipping-rope. the swing. the see-saW, or whatever the neighbor- hood possesses in the way of en- tertainment are quite likely to lose their small patrons. Even common carries such as velOcipedcB, wagons and HcOotcrB may be abandoned in unexpected places.

1t may be because they are kept in a limited space, particularly in pen that is too small. Some times the floors are too slippery or too dirty.
 If conditions arc such that the child cannot practice walking cas- fly, 1t will be slow in walking.
 Other children fail to walk at the proper time because they arc kept in dresses that arc too long and shoes that are too soft. In a few instances the children's minds do not develop rapidly enough.
 A mother should not be dis turbed If her baby falls to walk at l5 months of age, merely because Aunt Susie walked when she was 10 months old.
 When baby is born, It's brain is developed structure, ca pablo of learning, but the tissues have to develop sufficiently to carry the weight, and the muscle action must be co-ordinatcd before the child can walk.

GL0rfing Yourself
 An uA
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEh OcTVICG DthH VEApCT
 Just as a potential actress learns to dramatizc her best features and how to draw attention away from those which aren't as attractive, every beauty-mlhded woman should make 1t her business to find out ways and means to play up her incest facial characteristics.
 For instance, one with a lovely forehead and a widows peak ought to plan q coiffure that sweeps back ward and emphasizes both. A girl with beautiful eyes never should let side ringlets or other fussy hair ar- engagements dctract from their glamor.
 You can, of course, rely on cos- mctics to serve you well when you decide to dramatize your eyes, mouth, check bones or chin. Rouge, lipstick and eye makeup can be ap- piled in such way as to focus at tention on any of these.
 A girl with lovely eyes ought to put very little rough high on her cheek bones, reasonable amount Of eyeshadow on her lids, a touch of mascara on her la8hes. She should use just enough lipstick to make her lips look attractivcly healthy, but not enough to draw attention to the lower part of her face.
 one with handsome mouth perhaps a dimplc in her chin, too --can use lipstick lavlshly. eye makeup sparingly, If at all, and a medium amount Of rouge. This way, others arc more impressed with the beauty Of her mouth than with the fact that her eyes, nose and forehead aren't especial ly attractive.
 If your hair actually is your crowning glory, make the most of 1t. Brush 1t vigorously and reg ularly. See the best coiffure man you can find and, with his help, work out stunning hair style. This may mean economizing on facials and makeup and doing your own manicures, but. if you know your hair is your best point of beauty, It's smarter to spend your time and money on 1t than

HOW CALLOUs SOME DOCTORS
 ARE

HOW CALLOUs SOME DOCTORS | ARE
 Medical colleague who is distin- guished for his skill and success in new method wrote me that patient I had referred to him felt grateful to me for a suggestion to take vita min D and calcium lactate foi chronic eczema.
 Practically, what does 1t matter? ] can't even recall having made such a suggestion. Still, 1t might do some good if the patient would jot down briefly the facts and send them to mo. one swallow doesn't make a summer, of course, but if hundred or a thousand readers report their experience with such thing, 1t may mean a good deal for the health of others.
 It seems to be human nature to tell a doctor If his advice or treat ment has failed to help, particularly if 1t has apparently made matters worse; but to have no further truck with him if his advice or treatment proves successful. That is, unless he is freak healer or an outright quack. This trait of human nature prompts people to preserve q dis crete or abashed silence when they have been atrociouSly humbugged by the fake healer; and to proclaim miracle If by any chance thcy'Sur- vive the faker's minlstrationS or even recover health afterward. Long ago I gave up trying to understand this odd trait; surely 1t can't depend wholly on popular envy and jealousy of the doctors education. Nowadays plenty of people at least as well cd- iicated as the doctor harbor obse,N- ions as absurd as those of the Hitter ate class.
 A notion common among the laity is that physicians and surgeons be- come cold-blooded and callous about human or animal suffering. Un- thinking or uneducated people utter this libel and various cults and isms bandy 1t about. The truth is that If the physician or surgeon wishes to do his best for the patient he must Gurmount his personal feelings. If the circumstances render it impos- sible for him to do 50 his fitness to 1crve the patient professionally is seriously impaired.
 Ordinarily I am not greatly upset by circumstances surrounding an emergency or grave situation, which are more or less appalling to the lay observer. I can keep fairly cool and render what aid a doctor should render. But when the victim happens to be Q friend l can scarce ly do so. and am sure I am af hard -bolled as the majority of doc- tors are. And this is the reason why physicians seldom attempt to treat members of their own familief if any serious illness b involved They recognize that their personal sympathies tend t0 warp 0r impair their professional judgment. And hd they defer t0 the cooler judgment
