Sterilization Of 172
Women in Five Years
Revealed in New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 GN.SO.
Sterilization of 172 women at the
Sloane Hospital for Women dur
ing the past five years was re-
vealed today through a symposium
by medical experts on the merits
of the sterilization laws.
William J. McWilliams, counsel
for the National Committee on
Maternal Health, pointed out that
in each case the operation was
performed to protect the women
from the peril which might have
been involved in further child
bearing.
New York State laws are ex-
plicit in making the operation
legal under certain conditions,
McWilliams said.
Physicians explained all the
operations were performed on
women having complications
which made further births hazard
Gus or women who already had
undergone CaeSarean operations
for childbirth.

HOW TO CHECK
LOOSE DANDRUFF
AND SCALP ITCHING

When your clothing is showered
with loose dandruff scales, it's time
to do something about it. Skin
specialists say that excessive dam
druff is one of the important causes
of hair loss.
Two things can be done to check
loose dandruff:
First, shampoo once a week (of-
tener if necessary to keep the
scalp free from oiliness or crust
ing, using a rich lather of mild
Resinol Soap and rinsing thor
oughly.
Second, fine-comb the scalp twice
weekly so as to remove loose dam
druff scales. Then part the hair
carefully and apply Resinol Oint-
ment to the scalp, rubbing it in
gently. Persistent use of this treat
ment for a reasonable time usually
brings pleasing results.

Career of Walter 6. Gleason, White House
Policeman for Thirty Years

The Number 13 may be unlucky
for some persons, but not for Wal
ter G. Gleason, retired member
of the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, who served 80 years at the
White House.
When he joined the Army in
1889, Mr.. Gleason was assigned
to the Thirteenth Infantry. His
wedding date was the thirteenth.
He and Mrs. Gleason set up house
keeping on the thirteenth. And
they lived on Thirteenth st.
Badge No. 13
And when he was detailed to
the White House they gave him
Badge No. 13.
Before being assigned to the
White House, he served ten years
in precinct work and was COM
mended for many cases he solved.
One famous arrest he made was
that of a minister who came here
under the delusion he had re-
ceived a divine command to in
wade every saloon and wreck the
place. Policeman Gleason cap
tured him after he had broken
glasses and mirrors valued at
$1,000 in Charles Kraemer's sa-
loon on Seventh Street.

RECOGNIZED

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 26
U.NS0.-The huge plant Of Ben
dix Products Corp, closed for eight
days as the result of a "sit down"
strike, will resume operation to-
morrow.
Members of the Bendix local of
the United Automobile Workers of
America voted last night to &C.
cept the agreement negotiated by
their leaders and company execu-
tiveS.
The workers won their battle for
recognition of their union as the
bargaining agent for it's member
ship, but lost their fight for a
closed shop. The company agreed
to negotiate with the union on all
rates of pay, hours of work and
conditions, and is bound to make
no separate agreements with other
groups or individuals without also
having reached an agreement with
the union.
In addition the agreement sets
up a board of review consisting Of
three union members and three
company executives, to hear en-
ployer's complaints; provides for
no discrimination against the
strikers; provides for one days
notice in advance Of any layott,
two hours work for any employe
notified to report when no work
is available, and guarantees the
company's cooperation with the
union in considering any proposals
which may be submitted by the
union after the resumption Of
work.
Homer Martin, international
president of the U. A. w. A., hailed
the amicable settlement as vic
tory for the workers, even though
their demands for a closed shop
were not met.

government It is equally true that these forces have made nroads by syly seepng into labor organizations in this country But to say that American labor is Communistic because it has been vctimized by some is entirely unfair to every working person in this country.
 The fault of American labor, if fault there be- is that it has permitted such condition before rising instantly to strike 1t down. Today it is doing that very thing.

It is especially fitting this year for the Labor Day holiday in Juneau that the American Legion is just concluding its convention here and one of its units will be able to participate in the Labor Day parade that is the Cordova Boys Drum and Bugle Corps, the colorful organization which has contributed much to making the convention just concluding success
 What finer example of the principles on which American labor stands than to its representatives swinging down the street in column with drum and buge corps which represents another typically American group-the Legion
 Labor has suffered, in recent years particularly, from vicious propaganda which has seeped into its ranks There has been growing tendency to associ- ate labor too much with things that are un- American The misconceived idea has arisen in the minds of some that American labor savers of Communism or some other ism. This is farthest from the truth It is fact however that subversve forces are at work in this country attempting to overthrow form of

Cheerful Statistics
Cincinnati Enquirer)

To measure the degree of naJlonal prosperity, pers habitually look at such things share prices, caroadngs, steel production, and corporate profits They valuable indexes. But in trying to get a broader picture of business life it is well to observe the trend of commercial failures.
 Impressive corporate profits encouraging, but they do not tell what happening to the rank and file of business engaged in small enterprises of many sorts. Indeed, it can happen sometimes that handsome profits in few vast industries reflect the hardships of small business men.
 The latest report of Dun and Bradstreet is most encouraging. It shows that business failures in the United States were lower in July and early August than at any time since September of 1920. Rarely in the whole period since the Civil War have commercial failures been few in proportion to the total Der of business firms
 This is of profound importance. For it shows that the bulk of business enterprises holding their own least It shows that the economic climate of is not injurious to the of smaller busi nesses on which the future rests. The great production industries may explain in great part improved standard of living. But the present system could not continue if all economic life shaled in vast units.
 Competitive capitalism works tolerably only when there is a multitude of relatively small enterprises The figures from Dun and Bradstreet show that small business is surviving. That should be aging to every section of the population.

It's easy to see that the

Over there, when a pOliti-

OF course, we could easily
have a similar condition here

Whenever a mob starts to get

Shares With District
Relief Under Social
Security Act

Grants totaling $85, 1880 as
the Federal Governments contri-
button to the District for old age
and needy blind assistance, home
care and aid to dependent children,
covering the period of october l
to December 81, were announced
today by the Social Security Board.
Under the Social Security Act,
in the case of old age and needy
blind assistance, the Federal Gov
ernment contributes one-half of
what the municipal government
expendS in such cases, up to a
maximum of total assistance of
$50 month.
The grants for these two types
of assistance represent the esti.
mates which the local govern
ment will spend during the last
quarter of this year in such
cases. The Social Security
Board set aside $39,31750 for
old age cases and $590.15 for
the needy blind.
In the home care and aid to
dependent children cases, the
Federal Government contributes
one-third of the amount expended
up to a maximum of $18 a
for the first child and $12
a month for each succeeding
child.
This aid is granted in cases
where children are deprived of
the support of one of their
parents and are in need. For
this type of assistance, the Social
Board advanced to the
District $45,831.95 for the last
quarter of this year.
