Superstition Dies

Hairbrush to $500

MOSCOW, Oct. 30.-Because
the peasants Of Siberia are CIV
ing up their old superstitions, the
world may soon have to go with
out its finest brushes. The wild
boar Of that region is no longer
regarded as sacred and allowed
to roam unharmed. AS q result,
Siberian peasants are eatiEg its
meat, and the 12-year-old ami
mails, from which the rarest and
most beautiful bristle Is taken,
are becoming extinct. Hair
brushes made from this bristle,
known as XXX-lily, formerly cost
$3.50 each. Now, because of the
scarcity Of bristle, the price has
been raised to $500.

Judging from experiences of the past, one would
think that planning of large exposition or world
fair would begin with the selection of some funda-
mental attraction on the order of risque dance act
Certainly no one would eXpect-with an eye to the
past-that the planners of worlds fair would decide
at the start not to permit any such attraction on the
premises.
Quite the most memorable feature Of the famous
Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 was the
introduction to the Western World by the late Little
Egypt of the dance that caused John the Baptist to
lose his head. Many things have been forgotten
about that exposition but not the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE REAL TROUBLEMAKERS

great many people inclined to some
thing sinister and far-reaching in the general move
ment back of the strike troubles now sweeping the
industry and of the reputation of purposes
by foolish tactics revealed from time to time by both
main sides often lends considerable support to the
thought. But there is to believe in most
strike troubles that there in the present differ
more than the two general factons-em employers
and employees: than the generally accepted con-
sentative and liberal element.
Conservative Columnist Walter Lippmann who
has SHE'D away from too liberal thought, sees
four parties in the struggle and he classified them
Gently as follows:
There are the employers who do not wish
to make contracts with organized labor. They
the independent steel companies. AS
against them there are the employees and
minor agitators who do not wish to abide by
contracts. These two groups of extremists
the real troubemakers
Between them stand the employers who
willing to negotiate contracts and the labor
leaders who mean to enforce the contracts
they sign. 1t is to these employers and these
labor leaders that must look for the solu-
ton of the problem
For this reason the position taken by the
independent steel companies seems to me al
together short-sighted, capable only of en-
differing the industrial conflict and of delaying
a constructive solution. The they treat
Mr.. Lewis and the CLIO. leaders as public
enemies +. the impossible they make
it for Mr.. Lewis to develop discipline and
of responsibility in the ranks of his
young and inexperienced followers
There are many who believe that Mr. Lewis
is a revolutionst and that he has some far
reaching and sinister ambition That is
matter Of opinion. do not believe it.
Mr.. Lippmann probably has put his finger on
the real troublemakers the extreme reactionares
and the extreme agtators. In between the two is a
vast army of employees and sensible employers who

Health Insurance is Not Forgotten
philadelphia Record

We are glad that prominent New York doctor
has become sensitive to the charge that organized
medicine is responsible for keeping health insurance
from the American people.
DR.. John A. Kingsbury, associate fellow OF the
New York Academy of Medicine, declares that one
of the greatest needs of the nation today is COM
prehensve nationa-health program"
The opposition of organized medicine to compu-
sory-health insurance is selfish he finds, and he
calls for plan of protection against wage loss and
to make good medical service available to all the
people
1t seems to that organized medicine can fight
compulsory heath insurance only by making medl-
cal service available to all the people through WORK
able plan of its own 1t has not done that, but has
concentrated on killing medical insurance at Wash
ngton-so effectively that this announced aim OF the
New Deal is now all but forgotten.
DR.. Kingsburys statement will help to revive it.

NATIONAL ASSETS BECOME RISKS


To understand just how completely
conditions have changed in this country
within the past few years, one has only TO
realize that a state of uncertainty exists
in business and financial circles under con-
ditions which would have insured pros
perity some decades ago.
The huge imports of gold. the outlook
for bumper" crops and the increase of
bank reserves-all of which are present
today-would have indicated unusually
good business before the worlds economic
system was distorted as a consequence of
the World War and postwar policies.
While there is some uneasiness over
conditions. trade and industry generally
have been following a reassuring course.
Industrial production in April was at the
highest index number since October, 1929,
with the exception of last December. Steel
production in May. hampered by strikes,
was the third highest monthly output on
record, exceeded only by two months in
1929. Factory employment in April was
far ahead of any month since 1929 and
freight earloadings of merchandise in May
were fourteen per cent above last year
and much higher than any corresponding
month since 1880.
Business and finance in 1887, how
ever, are not what they used to be- The
Government is buying all gold with Dor
rowed money in order to kept from be-
coming base for dangerous initiation. In
creased yields of farm crops, instead of be-

cultural stability. Increased SURPRISES

happen if they continue to pile up and
serve as basis for unfortunate specula-
ton and initiation
One other factor should be discussed
in any general roundup of the business
situation in the United States This is the
workers continue without employment and
some observers fear that they will not find
work unless production greatly exceeds the
1929 levels and others wonder if they can
be employed without drastic reduction in
working hours. The Government continues
its unbalanced budget because of expendi-
lures necessary to relieve distress among
the unemployed, although apparently de-
termined to balance the budget in the near
future.

THE REAL PROBLEM

The general aims of the President S
hours and wages legislation are shared by
most citizens of the land, we believe, but
when it comes to the details there will be
plenty of discussion and much of it will
undoubtedly concern problems that are
far from imaginary
There is another factor for us to re-
member, that Federal legislation will not
affect all workers or all industry. Whether
the States will pass supplementary Iegis-
lation remains to be seen even if other
States, under recent decisions. exercise
the power to ban goods not produced un-
der standards established by them.
Gradually, the standard of living
must be raised throughout the United
States. Upon this conclusion there should
be no dispute. How to make the improve
ment is the problem to be solved

lean explorers, and Norway also which has

any serious dispute will develop between
the nations involved.
Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd. who
spent four years in the South Polar re-

the pie-shaped segment of 1,0OO-miIes of
