State of the Tongue
As Indication of Health

that many persons have a coated
tongue in health, especially smoK-
ers.
Why Furred Tongue
The furred tongue is simply due
to thickened epithelium covering
the papillae of the tongue, plus
some bacteria. The condition has
been described as occurring in sew
eral stages: first, the dotted
tongue; second, the coated or load
ed tongue; third, the white straw
berry tongue; next. the furry OF
shaggy tongue, and, last, the dry.
brown, crusted tongue.
The wearing of an upper plate
after a time frequently causes a
smooth. polished, bright red tongue
without pain or inconvenience.
Fermentation Of the tongue is an
uncommon abnormality, but in GER
tain cases of Addison's disease, the
tongue may be covered with black
patches.
Medical textbooks have fum-
bled around with the subject OF
burning tongue but, as we ex-
planned in an article last summer,
this need no longer be classified as
a mystery. It is due in most in
stances to neuralgia from badly
fitting dental plates.

tory of Derek BoIIington; the wrong people
found him charming
BY COSMO HAMILTON

"Of course" said Bollington. although not
from any eagerness to see his luckless son.
1t was simply for the reason that his wife had
been revealed, had shown behind her courage
longing and grief.
Then you will 60 to the Post Office and
send it off at once"
Il will"
''Tell him to catch the ten-ten. That will
bring him here to lunch. Meantime his room
shall be ready. I'll see to it myself"
But for her husbands fear of emotion she
would have kissed him gratefully kissed him
and wept on his chest She knew too well
how little he desired to see her boy.
The punctilious Commissioner left the
table at once. His morning routine was
smashed; the chaotic state of Europe and
the alarm in Downing Street were no longer
in his mind. Here was personal trouble,
crisis under his roof
1t was crisis which had repeated itself
at irregular intervals. The first of them had
exploded when Derek was in his teens. He
had been discharged from school. 1t was re-
ported that he was unable to keep within
its laws" He had broken bounds consistently
and had attached himself to circus in his
--latest delinquency" The Head had written
about him as "a lad of disarming charm but
with an incurable inability to subject him
Evening star., 1937-01-10

Bollington was, at that time. an Com
missioner and had bought the house in East
bourne in which he was still to be found.
He gave his son the money that would take
him out of sight, thankful to see him go.
From which of his notable forebears this
unlawful plasm had come was haunting
wonder of his. Or could it have been from his
wife's? But that was hardly possible because
they had mostly been in the Church. He
could thank his stars, however, that his eldest
son was safe. The always excellent Algemon
knew nothing of the germ. He was making
his way and was already junior partner in
a firm of solicitors. He was on the side Of
law. married to a dear girl with a chubby
little Musgrave to carry on the line. And 50,
repeating these words with gratitude, Bol-
lington put on his hat.
The nearest of several Post Offices was
almost mile away. Mani Tai" as his house
was called, was that far from the town. But
as he went off quickly along St. Georges
Road, accustomed to the status of mere
nonentity - he who had been responsible to
several million souls and received by the
Viceroy with nice touch of pomp - he was
an anxious man.
He said to himself: Here comes Derek
again! Here comes Derek, failure. Never a
word for years, and never pound of the
hundred - not so easy to raise! - which was
to have led to astonishing wealth. He returns
to us with nothing and without even perhaps
his smile, winning way, extraordinary charm.
And now what, may ask? A waster slouching
about; disgrace again. humiliation, the edge
of a precipice wish once more, and am
justified in spite of that dear woman who
means 50 much to me, that an illness or an
accident -"
He drew back from the end of that thought.
Blood is stronger than water and there were
ineffaceable memories of small and trusting
boy. Then, too, here was the Post Office;
the too clear recollection of the mother cry.
And 50 this was the message which Bo-
lington managed to write 1t was the usual
Post Office pen. 1--WE shall be glad to see you
try to be here for lunch. He signed it.
He was pretty certain that Derek would
catch the early train - always assuming that
he could raise the fare - but with his con-
stant fear of emotion he kept away from the
station and deliberately killed time He felt
quite unable to witness the meeting of mother
and son. He read the rest of his paper in

self to rules" Always it had been the same.
Bollington was in India and so the boy
had to 60 to an Aunt - a sympathetic and
childless lady who lived in Kensington. From
her house with its patch of garden he had
attended a crammer's shop. In the family
tradition Oxford lay ahead. The entrance ex-
animation was the jump that he must clear
He took it without slip in spite of the
parallel knowledge of London's midnight life
Nothing but immediate usefulness to the
captain of the boats had held him to his COL
lege until his second year. The authorities
were too familiar with his presence on the
mat He had not only cut his lectures but
in other often reported and too ingenious
ways had made himself obnoxious to the
University. Chance after chance was given
because he was destined for the boat His
weight was right, his power inexhaustible and
he pulled magnificent oar; but irrepressible
spirits, of which alcohol was one, made him
undesirable in academic eyes. And proctor
must not be kidnapped in borrowed" towns
mans car even as college prank
The Commissioner leave had been ruined
by this second painful stab. There had been
police court, judicial warnings. the heaviest
possible fine, newspaper publicity, the settle
ment of bills and then words that we're un-
forgettable between that father and son. Then
had followed two years of heart-rending
scampishness and during these, it seemed on
purpose, that rolling stone had kept far away
from moss. Nothing to which he put his hand
had remained within his grasp. He had
crooned for time with company of sea-
side wanderers with whom. though quickly
favorite with the fortnight holiday girls, he
was unable to conform. His attendances were
cratic and he pursued his private binges
during entertainment hours He drove Car
for widow and much resembled the hero
in a musical comedy. but the lady quickly
objected to being raced through Surrey lanes.
He was appointed gym instructor on Trans
Atlantic ship but arrived for his second cross
ing to see its distant smoke.
America called him then. He had heard the
proverbial tales of streets that were paved
with gold He had gone to see his father
to PROFOUND this brilliant plan. Notwith-
standing the scepticism with which it had
been met he asked for hundred pounds
1T will be my final touch,' he said. "If

Mr.. Musgrave Bollington, ODE, lowered

he gave the form to his wife.
A cry broke out of her heart. "Derek -
home - at last!'
And in it, as Bollington recognized, there
was the essence of hidden pains. Her secret
hours of anguish were disclosed in a sudden
flash. 1t was always the way. The wastrel
son held the mothers tenderest love.
The telegram came from the docks -

Mot in the strikes themselves does

they will lead to. We do not need
legislation to cope with them. We

Sloan said that already several
States have proved" that thinking

Lewis Arrives Late.
Gov. Murphy, mediating In the In

rived at the executive chambers.
None Of the conferees would COM

An informed source, however, said
the striking United Automobile Work.
ers Of America had submitted this
proposal: U. A. w. A. recognition for
its members; Chrysler not to sponsor
or support any other union and to
do nothing detrimental" to the U. A.
w. A.; any dispute on this to be sub
mitted to Chrysler and Lewis for set
tlement; both union and corporation
pledge not to coerce any company en-
ployes.
Governor Is Silent.
When the conference between rep
resentatives Of the corporation and
the United Automobile Workers Of
America in Gov. Murphy's oflce ad-
journed last night the Governor said
there is no comment can make"
AS that session convened there
were reports that it would be only "a
matter Of hours" before an agreement
would be reached. AS usual, neither
Walter P. Chrysler, corporation chair
man, nor John L. Lewis, head ofg the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton. which is supporting the strikers,
made any comment.
Without announcement or explana-
ton. Chrysler and other company
executives conferred here last night
with the managers of the eight De-
troit plants which are closed. The
managers remained In Lansing over
night.

From an authoritative source came
the prediction that an agreement
might be obtained today. This in

Attorney General Cummings opinion
on the present status OF District OF
Columbia minimum wage law follows:
In answer to your request of April
2, 1887, for my opinion respecting the
present status of the District of Co.
lumbia mirimum-wage law, in view
of the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court in the case of West Coast Hotel
Co. vs. Parrish overruling the case Of
Adkins VS.. Children's Hospital. 261
U. S. SIS, have the honor to advise
you as follows:
The District of Columbia minimum
wage law was approved and became
effective on September l8, 1918 &c. 174,
40 Stat. $500. The act provided for its
administration by a Minimum Wage
Board to be appointed by the Commis-
sioners of the District of Columbia. It
further provided for the organization
of the board and defined its powers and
duties. The board appointed under the
statute, acting in pursuance thereof,
isued its order prohibiting the employ
ment in the District Of Columbia Of
women or minor girls in certain in
dustries at less than prescribed wage
per month. The Children's Hospital
sought to enjoin the board from en-
forcing its order against the hospital.
An injunction issued was sustained by
the Supreme Court in the case Of
Adkins VS. Children's Hospital, decided
April g. 1928, on the ground that the
statute was unconstitutional. The
effect Of this decision was to suspend
the further enforcement of the act.
In the case of West Coast Hotel Co.
VS.. Parrish, supra, the Supreme Court
said Our conclusion is that the case
of Adkins VS.. Children's Hospital,
supra, should be, and it is overruled. I"
The decisions are practically in
accord in holding that the courts have
no power to repeal or abolish a statute,
and that Notwithstanding a decision

Gov. Murphy has said several times

Chrysler tie-up would return to work
nearly $4,000 employees Of that COM
pany and also approximately 10000
workers Of companies supplying II

Gov. Murphy said the Hudson and
REQ conferences would not begin until
the present negotiations have ended
He said the quickly-settled strike in
the Ford Motor Co.'s Kansas City
assembly plant had not been discussed

added:
There isn't anything to indicate
there is going to be other serious
trouble in the automobile industry

Of approximately 800 workmen with
out regard for seniority.
Ford officials made no comment on
