HOUSEWIVES no longer need send
IL out an SOS for two-fsted hubby
to put on kitchen wrestling match in
opening some containers, which, like
small boys, often stubbornly refuse to
have their caps removed. HomemakerS
generally prefer the screw-on type of
closure for glass jars, but even that
popular cap sometimes is difficult to
remove.
This perplexing problem has been
solved by one progressive closure man.
ufacturer who has introduced what is
appropriately called knife-opening
cap. The cap is made of metal and
differs from other closures in that on
its top is a grooved slot. go
To open any glass container equipped
with this type of closure, simply tap
around the outer rim of the cap with
the knife handle, insert the blade of an
ordinary table knife into the groove in
the top of the cap. This supplies the,
necessary leverage to enable one to ln-,
screw the cap. To reseal the jar, screw
the cap on tightly by hand, or ifsyou
wish, you may again use the leverage
of the knife to effect seal as tight as
the original. rV
Consumers acceptance of this new
type cap is evidenced by the report
from the manufacturer that many mill,
lions have been sold to food packers
since the first OF the year.

CONFIRMATION of the appoint

Court of Appeals was endangered
because it was thought from his
writings that he did not believe in
judicial review. However, he ap-
peared before the senate sub-com-
mittee, consisting of Senators Borah,
Burke and Van Nuys and repudiated
his previous utterances. OF the pow
er of courts to declare legislative
enactments unconstitutional he said:
Il regard it as not only thorough
ly established as a legitimate part
of our constitutional system, but
which was intended by the great ma
jority of the men who framed our

Stormy DAYS in Capital

ID ETURNING from his fishing trip
IN in Florida waters with an in
fected gum, President Roosevelt
was confronted with a situation
that was decidedly disconcerting.
What has been called the Roosevelt
depression was becoming still more
depressed and congress seemingly
couldn't make up its mind what to
do about it. The demand for tax
revisions that would assist business
out of the slump was insistent, and
so was the necessity of balancing
the budget. Passage of the four
administration must" measures
appeared to be impossible during
the extraordinary session All of
them were opposed by various blocs
of the majority party as well as by
the Republican minority.
The senate's farm bill seemed to
have the best chance to get through,
but it differed so radically from the
house measure that it was certain
a conference committee would have
to try TO find a common ground.
Secretary Wallace was reported
dissatisfied with both senate and
house bills. One official close to
him said Wallace might urge Pres
ident Roosevelt to veto any bill
finally enacted which approXimated
either the senate or house measure.
Democrats were so badly split
over the wage-hoUr bill that hope of
passing it before the regular session
Of congress was about abandoned.
Labor, too, was divided concerning
this measure, the A. F. of L. op-
posing it and the c. /. o. advocating
its passage. The federation offered
its own version, calling for fiat 40
cents an hour minimum wage and
10 hour maximum work week. The
house bill was finally rescued from
the rules committee by petition.
House Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn, Democrat, Texas, went ahead
with plans to whip administration
support behind the house measure.
He said that fewer than 100 votes
would be cast against the bill in its
present form but warned that
amendments which would make its
wage-hour provisions more rigid
might shunt the measure back to
the labor committee and delay
vote indefinitely.

The Lamplight Funeral

THE late Arthur Brisbane was
Il once unintentionally responsible
for circulating story which turned
out to be hoax but which stirred
the whole state of Georgia to the
deepest indignation. 1t was the story
Of holding the funeral of a young
girl in a Georgia cotton mill at night
to permit her fellow workers to at
tend because the mill owners re-
fused to allow its employees to leave
during working hours.
The Atlanta Constitution immedi-
ately began an investigation and
discovered ID that. instead of
girl, it was a woman of twenty-five
whose funeral had been held at
night; 90 that she had never
worked in the cotton mill; 30 that
the funeral was held at night to
meet a family exigency; "a that
many of the employees of the mill
were present at the burial, which
was held next day; and (5) that
the man VINO hao gwen Brisbane
his facts" had admitted being in
error.
The famous columnist, however,
refused to back down on his story
and accused Clark Howell, editor of
the Constitution, of trying to cover
up" bad working conditions in the
textile industries of the South.
Thereupon Howell produced signed
stateSents from the minister who
officiated at the funeral, the mayor
of Covington, Ga, where it was
held, the editor of the News, the To-
cal paper, and the president Of the
cotton mill to prove that the whole
story was a hoax perpetrated by
some one who wished to damage the
textile industry.

Boomerang

XAIHEN Eugene Field joined the
w staff of the Chicago Daily
News in August, 1888, and began
writing his column "Sharps and
Flats" he learned that it was the
custom Of the News to give each
employee a turkey as a Christmas
present. Thereupon he wrote note
to Melville E. Stone, the publisher
Qater famous as the head of the
Associated Press) saying that he
didn't like turkey but he could use
a new suit Of clothes.
The day before Christmas. when
the other News workers were get
ting turkeys Field was handed a
bundle. When he opened it, he dis
covered that it contained a convict's
suit, resplendent in its black and
white stripes. Field gravely thanked
Stone for the present and the next
day appeared at the Office wearing
the suit.
In fact, he wore it every day,
much to Stones distress. For when
ever the editor happened to have
distinguished callers in his Office,
Field was sure to walk in, attired
in his convict's suit. even to the cap.
and pretend to be busy attending to
the coal stove in the Office. Natur-
ally, it caused the visitor to won
der why a convict" should be
working around the News Office and
it required considerable explaining
on the part of the publisher.
1t wasn't long until Stone was
heartily sick of the joke he had
played on his columnist. He tried
to get Field to give up the suit but
the humorist insisted that nothing
could make him part with Mr..
Stones gift" Finally in despera-
ton. the publisher arranged with one
of the News employees to steal the
suit from Fields rooms and that
ended Stones joke which had proved
to be such a boomerang.

l. minister, in the course of his
visits to the allies of France in CEN

hope of aligning Polish foreign pol
icy with that of France against
fascism and naziism. He was given
the Order of the White Eagle, Po-
lands highest decoration. but that
was about all he got in Warsaw.
He was informed that the Polish
viewpoint is that under the Franco
Polish alliance Poland will help
France if it is attacked by Ger
many, but until that moment arrives
Poland will continue to follow an in
dependent foreign policy, even
though il runs counter to French in

Propaganda Goes Gruesome
Bv ELMO SCOTT WATSON

THE World war not only made
Il more people aware Of the word
propaganda" than they had ever
been before but the use of this in
strument in 'molding public opin-
ion" reached greater heights-or
descended to lower levels. which
ever way you wish to look at it
than ever before. One of the classic
propaganda stories, broadcast all
over the world, was that the Ger
mans were using their dead to man
ufacture soap. This story was first
circulated in China (where ancestor
worship is strong) to win that coun-
try to the side of the Allies.
The story had its origin in GU
rious coincidence. One day two
photographs were delivered to the
Office Of Brig. Gen. J. V. Charters
Of the British Army Intelligence
staff. One of them showed some
dead German soldiers being hauled
away TO be buried. The other was
picture OF DEAD horSeS on Inc way
to soap factory.
Whether or not what took place
next was deliberate or accidental
has never been definitely estab-
lished. But the fact remains that
the captions on the two pictures
were switched and the one showing
the dead German soldiers declared
that they were Ion their way to the
soap factory"
Propagandists saw in this picture
an opportunity for further exploit
ing the idea OF German ruthless
ness" as well as evidence Of the
desperate condition of Germany
anG the picture was reprinted
all over the world with that caption
under it. Despite indignant denials
by the Germans, many people still
believe that they did indeed use
their dead to manufacture soap dur"
ing the World war.
