you must always be romantic and
alluring and attractive, you must
be siren on a 24-hour basis. If
you aren't hotter number than
the blond down at the office, the
blond down at the office will hook
the poor fish Just as sure as you
are foot high. And so on and
SO on.
And it is about time that some
one inquired whether the average
hubby can possibly be as great
jackass as this line of talk would
lead one to think.
Il a
Just what one of these dainty
sirens would look like after she
had done an ironing for a family
of four on hot August day is some
thing the advisers never seem TO
touch on.
Would her nose be still as well
powdered and her slip as invisible
after a day of bed making, dish
washing, cooking, and keeping two
irrepresSible infants out of the
coal bin?
And when she arises, sleep-drug-
ged, for the third time in one night
to change the baby and give him
his bottle, will she be as careful as
ever about presenting that roman
tic and girlish appeal to her bet
ter half?
Now the great American hus-
band may not be a mental giant,
but he's generally smart enough to
figure out things pretty sensibly
He is no Robert Taylor himself,
when you get right down to it, nor
does he expect his wife TO be a
Claudette Colbert at all times and
seasons. He may have moments
when he shifts the spring breeze
Wistfully and dreams of Tahitian
maidens-but the little woman, too,
has her daydreams and what
of it?
Human beings aren't quite SO
stupid as all this be-a-siren advice
would lead you to suppose Oh, some
of them are, of course-and they
deserve to get exactly what they do
get, which is unending disillusion-
ment. But most of them are fairly
ell-balanced So can't we have a
little rest from this advice which
assumes they are all doltS?

ONE CLASS WHICH
DESERVES NO RELIEF

In line with the Presidents urgent de-
mand for reduction of relief costs, the
federal agencies in charge of the dole
would do the administration and the
public a great service, achieving at the
same time considerable saving, by re-
fusing relief funds to striking laborers,
whether they be in agriculture or indus
try.
In several strikes with which Imperial
Valley people have come into contact
it has peen noticed that a community's
relief load increases materially during
the walkout. In other words, the strik-
ers go on relief The federal govern
ment in these instances is directly IL
nancing labors often unjustified at
tempts to coerce industry and retard re-
covery.
Salinas, mentioned because the strike
there most closely parallels one which
may vet be expected in Imperial valley,
saw strikers openly advocate that their
fellows apply for and receive relief, so
they might conserve strike funds. What
was worse, they received it.
1t cannot be too clearly understood
that strikers are not men who cannot
obtain employment, but men who refuse
for one reason or another to work on
the Jobs which are open to them. 1t is
the common understanding that relief
is intended for the benefit of unfortu-
nate persons who cannot obtain employ
ment. Under this Interpretation, there
can be no justification for the presence
of striking laborers on relief rolls.

THE BEST KIND OF
TRAINING FOR YOUTH

Proponents of "the American Way
might find one of their best arguments
in the city park at Brawley Saturday
and Sunday when $50 Boy Scouts from
Imperial and Yuma Valleys will gather
for an intensive session of training IN
neatness, promptness, efficiency and
outdoor camping.
There is no RECOMMENDATION here, no
drilling of the boys of the nation in the
hideous arts of warfare; only healthy,
wholesome training in the human graces
which are most necessary to successful
life. The Brawley Camporee, remember,
is duplicated almost every day in some
mart or another of the United States
Through such meetings, thousands OF
bows are on the highroad to better citi-
Zenship.
Compare these meetings, where com
radeship and understanding are bred OF
healthy outdoor activities, with the
youth programs of Italy, Russia, Ger
many or any other of several nations
Summarily called to arms at certain
age. the boys of those nations are tram
ed as an adult soldier would be trained,
stepped in the art of death and the sa-
credness of hatred, made into automa-
tums WITHOUT the power to think Tor
themselves.
= Truly. the American Way is best, when
il is this sort of way.

News Behind the News
The administration is Grateful
The Supreme Court Puts a Monkey
Urench In But Labor POICer

ASHINGTON.-Although the administra-
tion continues to belabor the Supreme Court it
is secretly grateful for the Wagner act decisions.
Even if it should be conceded that those deci-
sions made RooSevets attempt to reorganize the
judiciary somewhat more difficult the New
Dealers received a big break when they were
given constitutional Interpretation which will
enable the government to handle the labor
problems. ,-,..
Valuation of the Wagner act greatly eased
a situation which, persons close to the admin
istration privately admitted could not have
been permitted to go indefinitely. Another
General Motors or Chrysler incident might have
put the President in bad hole.
Now the administration-perhaps with little
Semblance of gratitude blame recent labor
crises on the courts Federal district and circuit
courts had tied up enforcement of the Wagner
act for nearly two years by rulings OF uncon-
stitutionaity, which they based on Supreme
Court rulings handed down in days when JUS
tce Roberts was voting with the conservatives.
The Supreme Courts Wagner decisions have
made it possible to have national labor policy
and have left the country with seasoned, expe-
renced mchinery in the form OF the National
Labor Relations Board.
%
some confusion and mystification has fol-
lowed the action of Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins in calling conference OF industrial
and labor leaders for the purpose OF stabilizlng
industrial relations under collective bargaining.
The NLRB, recalling how Strenuously Miss
Perkins sought to get the board under her wing
when it was created and Suspecting she still
hopes to get it there whenever the Presidents
reorganization program goes through, is rather
bitter about it. The board believes that 1t is
at least attempt to aggrandize the Labor De-
partment, and advertise its concilaton services.
Labor leaders privately stress their ignorance as
to what the conference might be expected to
accomplish.
Industrialists naturally would emphasize
their claims that the Wagner act is entirely one
sided and demand legislative guarantees of
sanctity of contracts with labor unions and against
illegal stoppage of WORK" The administration
is not unsympathetic to such proposals but has
no intention of supporting such far-reaching
programs as, for example, compulsory arbitra-
ton or compulsory incorporation of trade unions.
1t is virtually certain that there will be no
amendments to the Wagner act, such as are
proposed to balance it for the sake OF employ
ers, this year. Present administration attitude
is: Lets let it ride the basis of the Wagner
act for awhile" .t.s-
Numerous problems remain in the labor field,
and only actual experience, it is held will demon
strate just what new legislation might be needed.
