A WOMAN's VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

I'VE never felt envious of the countrys Ten Best
Dressed Women, but not from any excess of vir-
tue The very thought of what the pace-setterS
must endure makes the blood pressure rise
So far as fashion goes, women aren't allowed
anything comparable to the business mems Breath
ing Spell. We have to proceed at furious rate just
to hold our in the of it's procession. Let
me illustrate.
Having planned trip to Washington thought
it wise to time the journey during period when
the wardrobe would be in good repair and ade-
quate for the season. / wouldn't have to buy any,
thing except maybe few odds and ends such as
shoes, stockings lingerie, handbags and cosmetics.
That self-satsied frame of mind did not long
survive however. No sooner had the salesgrls whom
I know got wind of the aunt than they assailed me
in store and shop well as by phone. ooh, Mrs.
Ferguson" goes the chorus, you aren't leaving
without spring hat, are you? We just got in some
of the loveliest models" Or, You'll be wanting a
dinner dress. Something in taffeta hope.
That red of yours is little passe surely OK,
Really and truly, while the green frock is smart,
the neck line isn't so good now. You should have
one of the new man-tailored suits. They're so
handy. Miss Madge writes from market that she
couldn't do without hers"
Drat Miss Madge and markets. wish I'd never
heard of them. With my winter outfit scarcely paid
for yet, and with very little actual out of it.
here it is few weeks after New Years and all the
stores have out their most enticing spring models
It's more than feminine flesh and blood can bear
The whole process of buying furs in August and

all the ladies in town put on their new outfits on

LET'S STICK TO F. ID. R.;
PLAY SAFE, HE SAYS

By Oscar Houston, Ellettsville
President Roosevelt's address to
Congress and the nation was the
most courageous address that have
ever listened to from any President.
Always before we have had to
content ourselves with listening to
long drawn-out statistics in refer
ence to the different departments of
government which, of course, are
important, but in his address he
dealt with the different phases Of
life that we are all so vitality in
terested in.
He gave us to understand he was
willing to continue to fight for our
security and willing to stand or fall
on that issue. He didn't mince
.Words-he called a spade a spade.
He put his finger on the big in
terests that are planning to use
their powerful influence in this
coming election to defeat him and
destroy every vestige OF the laws
that have been enacted and others
that are being planned for the Sc
curity and happiness of our people.
In the light of these important
facts, as voters what are we going
to do about it? What are the farm
ers going to do? What are the la
boring people going to do? And

THE sILICOSIS REPORT

~,1r If confidential government files has come

The report added numerous particulars about the
Might of the slowly dying victims OF greac en-

through three miles of mountain near Gauey
Bridge.
The document was research ounetn OF tne
Federal Emergency Relief Administration, based on
a report by Leon Brewer, statasCciaii ioi VIC "o

The House subcommittee investigating the trag-
adv is exneced to have the report when it resumes
its hearings today 1t hopes also to have number
of the victims as witnesses. These are expected to
include Mr. and Mrs Charley Jones-the former
diving of silcosis, the latter the mother OF three
sons who already have died. The witnesses are be-
ing brought here by private funds, supplied by the
"Gauley Bridge Committee" of New York. headed
bv DR.. John A. Andrews of the American Association
for Labor Legislation.
The relief report is 1S months old Since then
according to testimony before the committee, Its
predictions of death have been amply borne out

FIDDLING WHILE PEACE BURNS

CoNGREss started out to survey highway
- of neutrality by which the United States might
detour around the next world
But find members of the surveying ex-
petition and others in Congress standing in the
middle of the road which led to the last disaster,
furously debating matters which have relation to
the job at hand
What difference does it make to the peace and
security of this generation whether William Jen-
nings Bryan betrayed Champ Clark in the Demo-
cratic convention at Baltimore in 1912?
What difference does it make whether Woodrow
Wilson knew about the secret treaties of the Allies
before he went to the peace conference DIDN'T
learn about them until he arrived at Versailles? The
only important thing to know about the Allies con-
spracy is that President Wilson had no knowledge
of before entered that war to save the world
for democracy" And even Mr.. Wilson's critics con-
cede that. After we had entered too late.
Nor does it matter in the least who is to blame
for this futile and extraneous debate 1t foolish
OF Senator Nye to inject personalities into the in
quiry. But 1t is just foolhardy and objectionable
= for Senators Glass and Connaly and others of the
Wilsonian Old Guard to maintain the shrill emo
'tional pitch, for in doing they thereby distract
attention from the real issues What does it matter
how much Senator Nye collected in Chautauqua fees
or who called whom liar?
Woodrow Wilson was passionate neutral. But
he couldn't prevent the matters over which he had
no control from sucking into the World War. And
1t is doubtful whether Champ Clark, whom he de-
feated in 1912, or Charles Evans Hughes, whom he
defeated in 1916 or anybody else could have stopped
our bndfolded slide the precipce.
TIME munitions investigation has lifted some OF
a those blindfolds.
We know now as we didn't know then that in
sistence upon traditional freedom of the seas for
American passengers and American goods is incom-
patible with neutrality
We know now, as we didn't know then that in
building up tremendous war trade we built up
vested interest in the war which led inevitably to
making loans to maintain that trade volume, and
in turn to fighting to make good those loans, and
then to making more bad loans, and ultimately to
almost complete collapse.
We know now as we didn't know then that the
train of causes and effects set in motion in 1914
led inescapably to thousands of American graves i'll
foreign soil and now estimated tax burden OF loo
billion dollars most of which will have to be paid
nv generations yet unborn. The bonus which Con-
rress is about to pass is but small installment.
Has the learning of these things been so much IN
vain that our lawmakers should now be dsslpating
their energies in a cat-and-dog political hght'
Let us hope not. Let us hope Congress Will cease
its name -caling in time to do the serious Joo %
mapping a neutrality course which Will leao the
country around those pitfalls.

Mr.. Greenlee once remarked in
giving job to one man, he made

is one political job for one out OF
every thousand voters, his elemen-
tary intelligence can not make him
understand that besides the SIX

qualified for the job.

The New Deal Administrator has
been, for the most part, sincerely
engaged in a commendatory battle
for small rights.
With this in mind, it seems a
shame that most of the New Deal

stitutional. However, the Supreme
Court could not have done other
wise than it did do in the MIRA and

Not even if the nine old men had
all been Roosevelt Democrats could
they conscientiously have rendered
constitutional decisions on legisla-

OTHER OPINION
Marion Chronicle1

Al Smiths return to the open
arena OF politics has enlivened the
Democratic scene greatly, although
opinions differ as to the ultimate
Importance of the event. It is be-
ginning to be understood generally
that Mr.. Smiths objections to Mr..
Roosevelt and his policies are funda-
mental, deep-seated, earnest and
tinged with a personal evaporation
which almost surpasses the bounds
of ordinary language.
The conviction that the break be-
tween the two is complete and en-
during, on Smiths side at least,
arises from several great and small
causes.
The strongest cause, perhaps, is
the now widely disseminated knowl-
edge of private and semi private re-
marks Smith has made about the
New Deal.
Putting two and two together, po-
litical circles believe they have ar
rived at a perfect four, denoting
clearly that Smith is out to make
active and perhaps desperate battle
AGAINST fha Ady,ai,,istre ti,oy, ord ,,o,
ticularly against the head of the
Administration.
The one clear conclusion, on the
basis of all the facts, is that Smith
Is capable of making great deal
of trouble of one kind or another
for Roosevelt. and evidently intends
to do so.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

TINE air in the average size room
i weighs 1863 pounds. The aver
age person, in the course of the day
takes a weight of air into his lungs
which exceeds the weight of the
food he eats. A cubic foot of air
weighs just a little more than the
letter which Uncle Sam will let you
send through the mails for cents.
These are interesting facts about
the atmosphere pointed out by DR..
l.. R. Roller of the research labora-
tory of the General Electric Co.
Research laboratories like this
one are interested in the air for
many reasons. Certain gases in the
atmosphere have very high COM
mercial Importance.
AS most every one knows, the air
| is a mixture of a number of gases,
some of them present in large
| amounts, others in minute traces.
Nitrogen makes up approximately
70 per cent of the air. Next comes
oxygen which forms 81 per cent.
The remaining l per cent includes
carbon dioxide, water vapor, hydro
gen, the five rare gases, heliuln,
neon, argon, krypton and xenon,
traces of radioactive emanation and
traces of other gases too numerous
to mention.
INDUSTRY is particularly inter-
l. ested in three of the rare gases
today. Argon is extracted from the
atmosphere and used to fill the or
binary incandescent lamp bulb.
Neon is used in the familiar red adj
vertising signs. Helium is used in
balloons but the supply Is obtained
from gas wells and not from the at
mosphere.
Another important constituent Of
the atmosphere, DR.. Roller points
out, is dust. The particles range in
size from the cinder which may
lodge in your eye to particles so
minute that they stay floating in
the air for an indefinite time.
Even in clear air, he says, there
are thousands of these tiny parti-
cles, so fine that they can not be de-
tected by the most powerful micro
scope. However, these particles are
known to play an important part in
the formation of clouds and fogs.

BLAMES CAPITALISM FOR
NATIONS PLIGHT

By Subscriber.
The myth that the depression is
over is r1ockery to millions of
starving people.
AS long as the common people
blindly perpetuate the two old
parties in power, the depression is
here to stay. Capitalism is the
master of the two old parties and
they obey its commands.
The present Administration has
attempted to dress capitalism in
sleeps clothing, SO that it would
look presentable. But the wolf

vicious as ever in its greed for

provided you get also a reasonable
amount of sunlight.
At that, however, miners who
spend most of their daily life gr'lo-
bling in sunless subterranean regions
don't seem to show any evidence OF
the lack of vitamin D. Still. they do
get outdoors some of the time. and
It is possible for the human boo
to store extra vitamin D.
But growing children simply NUS
have this extra amount. Especial,
is this true with youngsters living in
large cities. where the smoke screen
is so dense that only enough ultra
violet rays penetrate through at
midday in the summer months to
be of any benefit.
And then, too. prospective mothers
and especially nursing mothers
should have vitamin D in addition
to that supplied in their foods. In
fact. they should have, as well. sur
plus calcium and PHOSPHORUS.
Most scientific authorities will tell
you that the American diet does not
contain enough calcium.
INCIDENTALLY. scientists still
i debate whether vitamin D IN
milk is more beneficial, unit for
unit, than the vitamin D in cod
liver oil.
Not only human beings. but ami
mails, too, suffer from a deficiency
of vitamin D. Hens, for instance.
Nowadays, henhouses are being
equipped with carbon arcs or other
ultraviolet producing apparatus.
And some henhouses have been
equipped with special window glass
so the hens may be benefited by
the suns ultraviolet rays.
Better still, however, for poultry
is chicken feed to which the VAL
liable substance has been added. The
best chicken feed today contains not
only extra vitamin D, but also ex-
ira vitamin A.
And fish oils are being added
to foods for both stock and poultry
as q cheap source of this essential
vitamin. AS explained previously,
COWS likewise are being fed with
irradiated yeast to give them extra
vitamin D, which eventually ap-
pears in the milk.
