earth and Jack Garner to nominate
F. d. Roosevelt, in whom he reposed
everlasting faith. And the Repub-
lican Old Guard was explaining that
when its candidate had promised
two cars in every garage he didn't
figure that for either car there'd
be deputy sheriff with a writ.
All of which proves our anointed
leaders are not only courageous but
consistent. Well, let's see what the
boys will promise us this year in
those fictiOnal whimsicalities called
platforms.
NIEVE been Skirting the sun
w baked domains of one sizable
group of early American families
who don't care who's been nominat-
ed at Cleveland or who'll be nOm4
mated at Philadelphia. No matter
which side wins, these folks still
will furnish the raw material upon
which blithe amateurs of the Indian
bureau work weird experiments in
the name of civilization.
Nothing worse can happen to
them than already has been wrought
by well-meaning meddlers and earn
est muddlers under this adminiStra-
ton or that. For instance, trying
to make farmers out of ApacheS, a
task akin to training Gagged hen
hawks to initiate cuckoo clocks.
OF course, should their reserva-
tiOns by some miracle prove produc
tive, the white man will crowd
them over into a remoter thirst
blasted area, where a horned toad
would have to go on relief or else
starve to death.
The vanishing American can't
complain that we've ever failed to
expedite his vanishing act for him.
Beating the WeIkin.
THE poor old welkin certainly
l. took an awful beating at Cleve-
land, didn't it? And just about the
time the new skin forms, they'll rip
it all over again at Philadelphia.
Language is to a national cOnven-
ton what yelping is to a coon dog
trailing. It's fine personal adv =
tisement for the dog and doesn't
mean anything either way to the
coon.
The old superstition that the Re
publicans always pick their candi-
date at . a. m. "in a SmOke-filled
room" didn't come true. You'd think
the bosses would emerge from the
session looking like so many hick-
ory-cured hams when you hear peO-
pie tell of the old times. I'll bet
the G. O. P. boys kept a window
open to clear the air. 1t might also
have come in handy for chucking
Senator Borah out of.
But when the credentials commit
tee sat to hear the cOntesting dele
cations from the deep, dark South
that's when you'd see what prop
erly might be called a smoke-filled
room.

Defyinq the Congress.

THREE years ago Bishop Can.
Il non. the famous Virginia smooth
bore, invited a senatorial investiga-
ton committee to go jump off the
Washington monument. Perhaps
they didn't jump off the monument
which caused regret to some, but il
was the best offer they had all
season.
This year Doctor Townsend, who
hasn't lost alcenk by being the head
of the Townsend plan, tells an in
vestigating committee of the house
to kiss his foot.
They never punished the bishop
for contempt, although they sput-
tered like a bunch of damp fire
crackers. Here's laying a little eight
tO-five they'll never punish the Doc
either. He'll go merrily on with the
ever-popular idea that, if there isn't
a pot of gold at the foot of the rain
bow, the government should supply
same without any more of this shil
ly-Shallying.
Next to the League of Nations
nothing seems to make so much
noise. and. accomplish so little as a
deted congress-unless it is some
fellow playing a slide trombone into
an empty barrel.

Says: IN
Work First, Then PLAY

Play is an important part in the
program of life, but work must be
done before we can afford to play.
Somehow or other it seems so
much easier to profit by the mistakes
of others than by our own.
1t is not a few faint wishes, bat a
lifelong struggle, that makes rs
valiant.
Since there are 80 many mistakes
to make, what's the use of making
the same one twice?

The man who tries to achieve
something and fails is infinitely

nothing and succeeds.
Be Great in Little Things
If a man is not great in little
things he lacks the elements of true
greatness.
Some people broaden as they age;
others merely grow fat.

wrapping" 1t s worththe trouble, she says.
She goes through this beauty ritual
several times and finally removes the oil
with the last hot towel. To be sure that
all traces of oil have disappeared she uses
a good, penetrating liquid cleanser. She
also suggests that, if your skin is dry, a
thin film of nourishing cream should be
put on once week and permitted to re-
main over night.
Margaret Callahan gives wise beauty
hint. She says not to forget elbows. They
have way of getting rough and chapped
during the winter months. Elbows are
definite signal of age - so don't neglect
them" A little cream (the type prepared
for dry skins will keep them smooth and
young looking. Massage the cream in with
a rotary motion - to stave off the wrin-
kles.
There's always that fundamental prin-
cipal of stimulating the circulation. Jane
Wyatt uses complexion brush to bring
a healthy color to her cheeks. IF your
skin is delicate be sure to use soft brush"
she warns.
And Phyllis Brooks is particularly solici-
tous of her fair complexion. She always
follows her skin-cleansing with Skin
lotion which is not an astringent."

A CLEAR, healthy complexion is an
~ enviable beauty asset. OF
~ course, therearevarious methods
4 n for keeping the skin smooth and
attractive - simple yet efficient means
practiced by persons of well known good
looks and charm.
For instance, Kay Francis has her own
favorite trick of rubbing thin film of
castor oil over her face before retiring.
She takes off the surplus Oil with soft
linen cloth but lets bit remain on the
exceptionally tender skin around her eyes
and on her eyelids. If you have any
qualms about the odor of castor oil mix
it with a few drops of your special per-
fume or eau de cologne.
Because Ann Dvorak is sun-tan en-
thusiast, and even during the winter basks
under sun-lamp to keep her complexion
honey gold" she must be careful of that
drying tendency" A hot olive oil steam
treatment each week is the solution. She
heats cup of pure olive Oil to body tenn
perature and, with piece of cotton,
spreads the oil over her face She leaves
the oil on for about ten minutes and then
dips towel in water "as hot as you can
stand it" and wraps her face in the towel,

pany. if the sale price is reason
ably low.
He was among those who pro
tested in 1884, when the Capital
Transit Company attempted to
buy the Rapid Transit Company
at a price of $843, 900. Since then
the Rapid Transit Company,
which operates so buses on Six
tenth Street and in a few sub
urban areas, has made a number
of improvements.
1t has been reported that the
two companies are planning a
merger. In this event their final
plans must be submitted to the

also opposed the 1884 proposed
sale.

MILLION FACE
SILIC0SIS
MENACE
BY LEON w. SHLOSS
Copyright, 1895, by International
EorutrAO


News Service)
One million workers are ex.
posed to solicosis, the dread
miners consumption" which
killed nearly 400 workmen at
Gauley Bridge, w. Va.
DR.. r. r. Sayers, chief of the
industrial hygiene division of the
U. S. Public Health Service, in
making this disclosure today, said
the menace of silicosiS can be
controlled, but in many instances
is not, because:
l. Operators are unwilling to
shoulder the expense of inStitut
ing safety measures;
2. Federal and state funds ap-
propriated to combat silicoSiS are
pathetically insufficient;
3. Many states have refused
efforts of the public health SER
vice to control the diseases; and
4. In many instances, the work.
erS themselves have resented lin
reference" by operators and Fed
eral and State authorities.
All Workers Threatened
DR.. Savers revealed that sill
COSTS threatened every worker in
the mining industries and, in addi-
ton, those connected with pot
terieS, foundrieS, sand-blaSting
granite quarrying, tool and ak
grinding, glass blowing, slate man.
ufacture and silica grinding.
The scope of the malady is al
most nationwide, he said. 1t has
appeared in more than 80 States,
reaching greatest virulence in Yer.
mont, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ar.
kansas. Ohio, Pennsylvania. Hi
noiS Ind Montana. Highest inten-
sity is found in:
l. the Tri-State lead and zinc
mining district of Arkansas, Miss
ouri and Oklahoma where, as the
result of one-year study, it was
discovered that 1914 out of 1922
workers examined had Silicosis.
2. The granite quarries around
Barry. VT. where statistics are
unavailable due to repeated re-
Bluffs sustained by authorities at
tempting to study and control the
disease.
Construction Workers Hard Hit
3. Pennsylvania, where research
revealed that of all workers en-
ployed in coal mines for Is
years, 80 per cent have anthraco-
Silicosis, a variation of the malady.
4. Butte, Mont. where 432 out
of lob men examined were found
to be inefected.
S. In South Carolina. where a
study of asbestosis, another varia-
ton of the malady, is being made
currently.
DR.. Sayers declared:
"The gravest problem lies
within the construction industry
due to the transient nature of
construction activities which
makes Federal or State control
impossible. In the mining in
dustrieS, the State mines COM
mission can. and have, con-
siStently pursued cOmmendable
courses in efforts to control
SiIicOSiS. There are, however, no
State construction commissions
to regulate contractors activ-
tiles. They are the worst of.
tenders.
DAM WORKERS EXPOSED
In the case of GauIey Bridge,
the State mines commission
stepped in. They were told the
project was construction and
not mining. At the time that
was true. The contractors sub
sequently discovered that the
rock through which they were
drilling a tunnel was more
than 80 per cent silica. Silica
is a valuable commercial prod
uct, so they began selling it.
"RegretfulIy, admit that
doubtless there was SilicOSiS on
the Boulder Dam and Grand
COulee projects, both of which
were Federal"

REDUCING DIET NEEDS PROTEINS

are the foods that are richest in
protein.
And meats are not fattening,
ordinarily, if they are chosen wise
ly and cooked correctly. Only the
lean meats should be selected.
The fatty meats such as ham, ba-
con. roast pork, duck and goose
should be avoided And every
visible bit Of fat should be cut
away from the selected cut of
meat before 1t is cooked.
The most satisfactory way of
cooking meats is by broiling, par
ticularly when an individual is at
tempting to reduce. When you
have cut all the fat away from
your piece of meat, place it on your
broiler. Have the bottom of the
broiler in such a position that 1t
win catch all the fatty drippings
and juices. After the meat Is
cooked, allow the drippings to
cool. And fat contained therein
will then rise to the surface and
CONCEAL. Remove all the CONCEALED
fat. and then prepare your gravy
with the greaseless juices. In this
way, you will eliminate all the fat
tening elements Of the selected
meat, and yet retain the proteins
essential to keep your diet we'll

Wife Not AHopaa to Go
Ont Without Husband
Mate Tells Woman He Loves Too Much to
ALlow Her Ont of His Sight

, to want to be free from any ties.
DEAR MISS LEE: I was a
widow with three children, and am
now married to a man four years
older than myself. He is 3S years
old and love him very much. He
is very good to the children and
me.
This is my problem: We have
business to which I devote al
most all my time, but he will not
let me leave the place without him,
and he doesn't care to go any
place. I would like to bowl one
evening a week with the ladies,
and shop one afternoon a week.
But I cS2not get him to consent
to this. lie always answers like
this: II you leave this house
without me you don't need to
come back. l can't sit at home
and know my wife is out. I love
you too much to let you out of my
sight
I've only been married to him
IA months and I'm not used to
such confinement. How can 1 get
around my problem without serious
trouble? 1 begin to feel I'm in
prison. If it wasn't for these men
we women wouldn't have any
trouble at all
HOLDING THUMBS"
And We wouldn't have nearly a5
much fun, either, my dear. You
prove that you think that by
marrying for a second time when
you might have been free-and
incidentally, many wives ruin their
chances for happiness by just such
a possessive attitude. You didn't
appreciate your freedom when you
had it, did you? Wanted someone
to look out for you-and got him
with a vengeance.
Of course the man is simply
selfish and insure of himself, is
afraid your love won't stand sep
aration. If he won't listen to rea-
son, try persuasion. Assure him
of your everlasting love, and point
out that he is your dear husband,
not your jailor; and that you'd
rather go with him than with any,
one, but you do want few "girl
friends. Does he ever go out with
"the boys"? If so. tell him you
want a like privilege.
If this won't work. try razzing
him about the matter. If you still
have trouble, insist upon your
rights, in the sweetest possible
way, but firmly. If he makes too
much of a fuss, I'd get a good
friend to talk to him, or even go
to the domestic relations court and
have them talk to him. It seems
to me you must settle this thing,
even if it means some unpleasant
ness for a while, or it is going to
spoil your marriage entirely.
ROBERTA doesn't know what
love is" she says, but she thinks
every young fellow she sees on the
street is the boy she likes, and
every bit of work she does she is
wondering if she acted right when
she was with him; and when she
is out with other boys she is not
happy, and when she gets home
she cries herself to sleep.
I would say you know what love
is, Roberta, and you've got it bad.
However. that doesn't help you
much because I don't believe he
does care for you as you do for
him, or he would be on your door
step every night. Keep on hop
ing and going out with others,
and maybe if he doesn't grow to
care more you will get over it.
