cent Of our total trade.
The addition of Venezuela, Czecho-
slovakia, Turkey and the United King
dom will add another 1875 per cent,
while successful negotiations with Argen-
tina and Norway. in the way Of which
substantial obstacles still lie. would
bring the volume of American foreign
trade under the reciprocal trade agree
ments to more than 525 per cent.
Whether the reciprocity program ulti-
mately succeeds or fails the full credit
for the broad results that already exist
in the form of signed agreements is
attributable to the persistence and re-
lentless driving force of the Secretary
of State, Cordell Hull. The surrender
Of the British to the reciprocity idea is
directly the outgrowth of the persever-
ance of Mr.. Hull in the face OF. repeated
discouragements as the United Kingdom
drove farther and farther along the path
of bilateralism. The British, particularly
the daily press, have been tremendously
impressed by the Secretary's sincerity
as we'll as convinced by his arguments
that world peace requires economic ap-
peasement through the removal of bar
riers to trade.

Secretary of Medicine.

DR.. Morris Fshbein, editor of tho
Journal Of the American Medical Asso-
citation, proposes that the Public Health
Service be raised to the status of full
Federal department with a Secretary
Of Medicine in the Presidents cabinet.
Justification Of such a proposal de-
mands. at the outset. agreement that
public health is a major concern of the
National Government-paramount in
Importance to national Defense agricul-
ture. administration of the national do
main, mail communication, labor rela-
tions or commerce.
Sooner or later, quite likely. it will be
generally admitted that this is the case.
Defense against germs and viruses will
stand on a par with defense against a
foreign enemy. Life itself will be VAL
ued as highly as any of Its by-products.
1t may also be generally admitted that
any localized set-up for the protection
of the public health is bound, in the
very nature of things, to break down.
These same germs and viruses have the
most contemptuous unconcern for lines
on map. for economic, social, sectarian,
sectional and racial divisions.
II the time comes when these thresh-
old propositions are established to the
satisfaction of everybody-and it may
not be so long hence-the complications
Of the actual establishment of the de-
partment must be faced. They will not
be simple.
But we will cross our bridges when we
come to them.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

When the witching hour Of o'clock
came, that summer evening. scores of
small forms could be seen vending their
way to Walters barn.
Many of them were guided by mothers
Great was the excitement, and cruel
the awakening, to find Walters barn
as dark as a dungeon.
There was no magic lantern, Of course.
There were no slides.
There was only one small boys imag-
ination, building up for himself secure
position of superiority in his own mind.
We never heard what became OF
Walter, but feel sure he grew up to be
one Of these fellows who, in everyday
conversation, always has seen more,
known more, been more places, and done
SO much more than the great average
run of humanity.
Some OF these characters land in jail,
but more of them live to bore their
acquaintances for ever after.
One is so helpless before them.
Mention any famous man, they come
right back with his first name, as if
they took breakfast with him every
morning.
This little pleasantly is to be expected.
1t is but the entrance to the temple.
Where these romancers really shine
Is in the assured way in which they tell
of what they have seen, heard, done and
places gone.
Mention any land, they have been
there.
Speak of any famous object of art,
continents away, they have seen it,
Talk OF any type of work, including
trapeSe, and they have done it,
Recount lecture heard anywhere,
they have heard it, too.
Now, what can we" think of them,
except that they are liars?
We see anew that one may be liar
and at the same time a very decent
fellow; for even those who are most
bored by these performances will have
TO admit that little, if any harm ever
is done by them.
The famous pain-in -the-neck which
they bring to others is typically mental,
and one has it only in figurative sense
in the neck.
The real seat of the trouble lies in the
mind OF the person who values INTEL
lectual honesty enough to want to prac-
tice it bit.
If one is bored by this bright eyed
romancer, this indubitable liar, then one
is practically sure that what he says is
based on few facts, but is merely an at
tempt to salve his own self esteem.
Since face" as the Orientals call it,
is great deal, wherever one lives, it is
no wonder that many persons take this
easiest way to it.
Indeed, those not adept at it may come
at last to respect it as very efficient
method which they, in their turn, might
wish they could USE
Something prevents them. however.
They like to feel that they are too
honest to pretend. They treasure the
self-esteem Of their own they have
worked up in other ways.
Even to be liar, in little, is not to
their liking.
liberation is the best they can extend
the know-lt-all gentleman.
Even then he bores them.

The Circle Underpass.

Motorists who have experienced at
Dupont Circle that nightmarish sensa-
ton of things on wheels rushing at them
from all directions-with no escape in
sight-should see the model Of pro-
posed circle underpass just placed on
display at the District Building.
A study of this plan for alleviating
the bewildering traffic congestion at this
focal point of pedestrians, street cars,
Buses taxicabs, passenger cars and COM
mercial vehicles from east, west, south
and north should prove refreshing to
the daily victims of the Dupont whirl-
gig.
Under the proposed tunnel arrange
ment, all through trafic on Connecticut
avenue-street cars as well as motor
vehicles-would duck under the circle,
thereby avoiding conflict with cross
traffic from Massachusetts, avenue and
other thoroughfares which merge there.
A system of traffic islands" would
assist in diverting through trafhc on
Massachusetts, avenue into channels re-
served for quick flow Of express"
vehicles around the circle. A plan of
traffic light control has beer carefully
worked out by traffic authorities.
The underpass plan is backed BY
Engineer Commissioner Dan I. Sultan,
by Capt. H. G. Whitehurst, director Of
highways; by william A. Van Duser,
traffic director, and by officials Of the
Park and Planning Commissiou. Its

Growth of Reciprocity.

The reformation of American eco

contemplated with the United Kingdom

Democracy a La Russo.

Citizens of the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics are reveling in the
luxury of their first national political
campaign, which will culminate on De-
cember IL in the election OF a parliament
to be known as the Supreme Council,
a bicamaal legislative and executive,
body composed of the Council of the
Union and the Council of Nationali-
ties. The Supreme Council, according
to the letter of the new constitution, will
WELD the authority implied by its title
it will hold supreme power in the state.
To convey the impression at home and
abroad that by setting up such govern
ing authority the Communist rulers are
taking long stride in the direction Of
bourgeois democracy" it is provided
that the council shall consist of men,
bers chosen by secret ballot at a free"
election. To the surprise alike of Soviet
adherents and foreign observers in Mos
COW, it develops, as the campaign tapers
its climax, that Russian voters are going
to have the privilege, on their baptis-
NAL visit to the polls. of writing "x"
opposite the names of almost exclusively
hand-picked official candidates. Out Of
1,l43 election districts, 1,1l9 present only
single nominee. In virtually all cases,
the one-man ticket" consists either of
a government functionary or a Com
munist party executive. Here and there
is a small sailing of workers, peasants
and the intelligentsia, such as actors,
writer's or teachers. Most of the workers
are Stakhanoffists-privileged artisans
who, by dint of high-speed productivity,
have become the highest paid in the
labor ranks.
Notwithstanding the restricted char
acter of the campaign as disclosed by
the personnel of candidates, Soviet men
and women are manifesting feverish in
terest in their maiden excursion into
politics. Though there is limited e1ec-
ton choice of candidates-in most in
stances, no choice at all-nominations
took place in open meetings Of trade
unions and other authorized bodies.
Hundreds of these assemblages nomi-
mated incumbent U. s. S. R. leaders.
Stain was put up at 1854 different
places Foreign Commissar Litvinoff.
War Marshal Voroshiloff and Premier
Molotoff have also been nominated.
President Kalinin has just explained
that the regime is anxious to bring out
a maximum vote in order to impress
Fascist gang leaders" (probably Musso-
lini and Hitler) with the numerical
might of the nation that stands behind
the Kremlin and the Red Army.
The raw material for stupendous
polling is at hand. OF the Soviet Unions
100000 inhabitants, some 100 ,000, 900
are qualified to vote. They will choose
q round 100000 provincial and national
deputies. Despite these Brobdingnagian
fgures-without parallel in suffrage
democracy, as Americans understand 1t,
will still be honored in the breach, rather
than the observance, in the sprawling
realm of the Soviets on the second Sun
day of December.

Another chronic pain-in-the- meek to

Before we feel completely squelched

We remember comrade of our child
hood years. His first name was Walter,
and his father often went up to the big

Sometimes his father brought him back
a toy, or candy.
Sometimes he didn't.
But in time Walter attended to that
deficiency in his own peculiar way.
He made up" story about what dad
had brought him, whether he did or not.

great merit, of course, is the answer It
provides to the problem of preserving the
real beauty of Washington's circles and
at the same time removing the trafic

its cost. Engineers estimate that $425,-

Learn Character From

Palmistry is an interesting study be-
cause it has all the charm of exploration
and discovery. If you have never OBJ
served the hands of your friends see how
much you can learn of character and
temperament from them. Next to the
face, the human hand is the most ex-
pressive and revealing thing in the world.
The Fortune Telling booklet contains
explanations and diagrams which will
teach the beginner how to study char
acter from the hands. 1t tells the mean

shape of finger nails, and the mounts of
flesh cushions at the base Of the fingers.
