Seubert of Chicago, president of
the Standard Oil Company of Indi-
ana; Henry M. Dawes of Evanston,
ILL.,, president of the Pure Oil COM
pany, and many officials of Stand
ard Oil, Pure Oil, Deep Rock, So
cony-Vacuum and various other oil
concerns and their subsidiaries. AL
so in the list are Warren c. Platt
of Cleveland, publisher of the Ma
tional Petroleum News and Platt' S
Oilgram; his two publications and
the Chicago Journal of Commerce.
The indictment charged that the
defendant oil companies formed
pools in the east Texas and mid
continent fields for the purpose of
purchasing gasoline at artifcially
high prices from independent pro-
ducers, and in furtherance of such
a scheme were members of aSsoci-
ations which included the indepen-
dents.
This, said Mr.. Plat, is exactly
what the oil companies did with the
approval of Secretary of the Interi-
or Harold L. Ickes, administrator
of the NRA petroleum code, when
efforts were being made to limit the
production of gasoline, prevent the
flow of excess quota oil into mar
ket channels, and raise prices in
that turbulent industry.

Greetinqs!

Not all peoples greet each other
with our familiar handshake. For
example, the hug and squeeze,
cheek to cheek, is used in
France. Among the New Zea-
landers, the Malays, Burmese,
Indo-Chinese, the Mongolans and
even the Eskimos and Laplanders
the ''hongi' is the thing. This
consists in touching noses lightly.
The word it's elf means to
Smell" When a Chinese is in
troduced he shakes hands with
himself.
The Italians and Germans have.
revived the ancient Roman greet
ing as military salute. Reports
from Ethiopia, or Italian East
Africa, as it is now called, indi-
cate that the Italians are teach
ing their new subjects to greet
each other in the old Roman way
by extending the arm upward
with the palm to the front.
Each form of greeting has
meaning all its own. The hand
shake and the Roman salute, for
example, began as gesture
showing that the hand was free
of fweapons.-Washington Post.

OLD IDEAS ABOUT

eyes. And though our eyes NAV
be perfect, we cannot see with
out light.
And, contrary to general opin-
ion, some eyes require more light
than others. Children and old
people need more light than
average adults to prevent eye
strain.

for one task is not necessarily
good enough for another. Sew

Science also says, homes with
electricity are not necessarily

without electricity necessarily
lighted poorly. The lighting in
many homes with electricity can
be improved by increasing the
sizes of bulbs, diffusing the light
and fitting lamps with light

ment, which is still the major
problem confronting the country"
and continued:
Most of the recent increase in
the public debt has resulted from
emergency expenditures which will
be reduced as the need dininishes.
At this date the evidences of need
are still manifest"
Saying the public debt has con-
tinued to mount rapidly, notwith-
standing the substantial increase in
the national revenues" the report
added: ..t.
Future business prospects are in
a degree conditioned upon the pos
sibility of bringing expenditures
more in line with receipts and thus
eliminating, partially at least, the
uncertainties prevailing in connec-
ton with future taxation and other
budgetary problems.
AS to ''the part played in the re-
covery to date by the heavy govern
ment expenditures, the report said:
This question is not easily an
swered, but it is certain that such
outlays have had an influence,
in many directions - for example,
on retail sales, on farm income, on
the growth of bank deposits and on
the prevailing level of interest
rates."
The latter statements may well
be compared with the report of
Alfred P. Sloan, president of Cen
eral Motors, to the stockholders.
Business recovery throughout the
world - in which the United States
has participated - is being gen.
Grated by a combination of various
factors, Mr.. Sloan explains. In
this country the automobile indus
try has been helped, he says. by
principal influences. Only one of
these, he points out, has its roots
in the New Deal financial schemes
and he finds that particular influ-
ence a bad one because it creates
a temporary FOOLS paradise in
which sales and earnings are bal
looned by extraordinary govern
ment expenditures.
Asserting that political extrava-
gance has created a highly unde-
sirable and artificial stimulus, Mr..
Sloan urges that such spending be
halted before it is too late to stave
off disaster.

Bar Association Split on
New Deal Legislation

w HEN the Ns american Bar ae.tn,, as,
soon it will receive two widely diff
fering reports from special COM
mittee named to study the effects
of New Deal legislation on the
rights and liberties of citizens. They
were made public in Washington.
The majority report, signed by
John D. Clark, Cheyenne, Wyo.;
Fred H. Davis, Tallahassee, Fla;
George L. Buist, Charleston. S. c..
and Charles P. Taft H.. Cincinnati,
Ohio, "deplored'' the action of
President Roosevelt in reducing
congress to rubber stamp" body
to carry through his program of
legislation.
Novel legislative and govern
mental trends of the New Deal are
just as uncertain today as they
were two years ago." the report
said. Laws specifically proposed
as emergency measures with limit
ed life have been declared by i'm
portant members of the administra-
ton to be the beginning of perma-
nent changes in national policy.
There has been a continuing
conflict between such officials as to
whether new social and economic
order is in the making or the old
institutions are being perfected so
that they may be preserved"
These findings were challenged
by Kenneth Wynne, New Haven,
Conn; Fred L. Williams, st. Louis.
Mo-, and James G. McGowen Of
Jackson, Miss. In their minority
report they said: ''If the purpose
of the resolution creating the spe-
cial committee was to get the opin-
ion of the American Bar association
regarding legislative trends de-
signed to meet changing economic
conditions, thereportis superficial. It
does not deal with the problem but
concerns itself with a short range
attack on surface trivialities.
The sharp divergence between
the two reports presages conflict
and heated discussion at the as
sociation meeting.

President Resents Charge
of Politics in Relief

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT was
visibly aroused by Republican
charges that the New Dealers were
seeking to reap political profit from
the drouth conditions. At his press
conference he broke with the usual
rule by permitting himself to be
directly quoted as saying:
1T is a great disservice to the
proper administration of any gov
ernment to link up human misery
with partisan politics"
The President announced that he
would hold series Of regional con-
ferences with governors Of states
in the drouth area, and naturally
Governor Landon, his Republican
opponent, will be among those he
will meet. 1t was believed they
would come together about Labor
day in Des Moines, with the gov
ernors of Iowa, Nebraska. Oklaho-
ma and Missouri. Mr.. Landon
said he would accept the Pres
ident's invitation to such confer
ence.

man. They decided to establish
headquarters at once in st. Louis
and to set up an organization in
every state. Then they gave out
a 1,500 word declaration or plat
form in which they declared they
will not support for reelection the
candidates of the Philadelphia con-
vention for President and Vice
President, and we call upon all 10y
al and sincere Democrats to con-
slider the question of their duty to
their country in the approaching
election with the same earnestnesS
that has guided our deliberations
joining with us if they feel that our
conclusions are sound and our anx-
iety for the future of our party
and our country is justified"
The name of Governor Landon
was not mentioned in the declara-
tion, but a number of its signerS
are openly supporting the Republi-
can candidate. Among these are
Joseph B. Ely, Col. Henry Breckin-
ridge, John Henry Kirby Of Texas
and Robert S. Bright of Maryland.
However, the avowed prime OBJ
jective of the Jeffersonians is the
defeat of President Roosevelt and
the restoration of the Democratic
party to its status before the New
Dealers captured it. Their declara-
ton is unsparing in its denunciation
of Mr.. Roosevelt's course and the
policies of his administration.

Fierce Fighting in the

DESPERATE fighting for posses

Proteins Impart Strength.

One of the biggest factors in the
success of this high protein diet is
the feeling of strength and energy
that comes to the patient. Weight
reduction by cutting down fats,
starches and liquids also gives a
feeling of 'lightness" and more
willingness to exercise or move
about, but the meat and eggs gives
an even greater desire or willing
ness to exercise. And of course
with this willingness or desire to
exercise, more exercise will be
taken with the result that the ex-
cess weight comes off al a faster
rate than. ever.
AS you know the using up or
burning up of proteins in the body
increases the internal heat of the
body by four to six times as much
as does fat or starch.
Many will naturally question the
effect of protein foods on the kid
neys and blood vessels as they have
understood that meat forms "clink-
ers" in the kidneys, and helps to
harden" the arteries, thus increas-
ing the blood pressure However,
DR.. Campbell definitely points out
that with the protein foods given
in proportion to the ideal body
weight (not the weight OF the indi-
vidual with his excess fat, there
were no changes in the ability of
the kidneys to do their work and
no change in the blood pressure.

new supply daily of proteins is
necessary to the health of the
body.
Another valuable point about pro.
teins in reducing weight is the sat
isfed'' feeling they give-patients
feel less hungry after eating pro-
teins than after eating the other
types of food.
This satisfied feeling makes
many patients able and willing to
continue on the reduced diet who
might feel SO weak on less protein
that they would give up entirely
the idea of reducing weight.
Therefore the idea of giving a
good quantity of meat and eggs
daily in weight reducing diets has
become popular as there is not
that feeling of extreme weakness
and hunger that alarms many pa
tients.
Reduce Weight on Proteins
DR., L. X. Campbell, Chicago, in
the Journal of Laboratory and
Clinical Medicine, Chicago, reports
his experience with q patients
placed on what is called the high
protein diet. He observed an av-
erage loss of weight of from about
one to six pounds per week in the
n patients, over a period of from
to 81 weeks. None of this over
weight was due to any gland dis
turbance in the body. That is, the
patients had acquired their ex-
cess weight by eating more than
they needed and not taking enough
exercise.
The ideal weight for the i, dividu-
ais height and general build was
first estimated and the amount of
protein foods given was in proper
ton to this ideal weight.
The whole diet was about 20 per
cent less than the individual need
ed for the weight he was carrying
which meant that some of his own
body tissue-fat-was needed and
so used by the body to keep its
processes working properly
1.-The patients maintained excel
lent health, continued all their nor
NAL activities, and had an in
crease of energy as their weight
decreased. The large amount of
lean meat and vegetables prevent
eG the hunger of which most in
dividuals complain during weight
reduction on low protein diets.
There were no changes in the ac-
tion of the kidneys and no change
in the blood pressure during any
period of the observation.
believe that the result: obtained
by DR.. Campbell on this high pro-
tein diet can be obtained by other
physicians who will first examine
the overweight patient, then out
line diet that will cut down fats,
starches and liquids, by not less
than 20 per cent of the estimated
food requirements, keeping up,
however, full diet of meat and
eggs.
