To this Magda superbly made no

into her room.
When the bright soft morning
came, Magda was exhausted. Her
face was bleached and blotched
with tears, her eyes swollen, and the
hair that had so often been pushed
off her forehead during the fevers
of the night hung in careless locks
and showed darkness at its roots.

VETERANS WAIT
PENSION ACTION
BYLEGIONNAIRES
Convention Is Expected
To Curb Proposal

Official Washington and vet
Grams here today looked forward
to the national convention of the
American Legion next week at
New York as to what that organl-
cation will do on proposals for
pensions to World War men.
While no Legion leader here is
willing to make an official state
ment, all indicate privately that
pensions will not meet with the
approval of the convention. They
do predict. however, most of the
programs will concern liberal re-
lief to the service connected group
and their dependents, develop
ment of an employment program,
national defense and neutrality.
JOBS ARE SOUGHT
OF the three major organiza.
lions, two already have met and
outlined their legislative detectives
for next year. At Buffalo, the
Veterans of Foreign Wars ap-
proved a determined fight for
"jobs or pensions" leaving it up
to the leaders as to how tire
measure will be drafted and the
strategy of urging it upon the
next session of the Congress.
Disabled American Veterans,
meeting ut Columbus, Ohio, last
month, refused to include pensions
in it's program, but recommended
it's officials approach public or pri-
vate employees and explained that
unless there was a speedy absorb
ton of the joblesS veterans a de-
mand for pension might develop
huge proportions.
LEGISLATION STAGED
The Veterans Administration
will continue its policy of not init
ating legislation, except in so far
as its recommendation concern
improving administrative proce-
dure. However, when the Congress
returns, the advice of Gen. Frank
T. Hines will be sought by the COM
mitteeS on each proposal that is
presented.
During the last session there
was introduced by Representative
John Costello Id of California,
a resolution for the appointment
of a joint-congressional committee
to make an investigation of the
cost of veterans relief. While the
resolution was not pressed, it is
said at the Capitol it will be held
in reserve, so that if the pension
idea develops strength the in
vestigation will be authorized.
The resolution calls for the COM
mittee to make recommendations
for the removal from the rolls
Of the non-Servlce connected or
pension class among world war
men.

COMMENTS ON
CURRENT
EVENTS
Electrical Living Standards

Electrical Living Standards
Few industries touch our lives q
so many points as the electrical
manufacturing industry. 1t is divided
into nine primary branches: Apph
anees, refrigeration, construction
material, industrial apparatus, rough
ingin material, installation devices,
generation apparatus, transmission
and distribution equipment, and IN
sulated wire and cable for light and
power.
Your home, consequently, is like
your place Of business, is closely
linked with the products OF thia
industry all the way from the shell
of the house itself, to the conyen
fences that make life happier, les
laborious, and more efficient. And
these conveniences are not restrict q
to the city home. Electrical equia.
ment such as water systems and
power appliances, are found on thau
sands of farms, where they contrib
ute materially to raising the agricul
tural standard Of living and the agri
cultural income.
During the progress Of recovery,
with the national income rising,
there have been remarkable advan
ces in the sales of all types of cleo
trical home equipment -refrigera.
tors and fiatirons, air conditioning
units and toast makers, and a hun
dred other appliances large and
small. This is a natural trend. The
American people realize that nothing
can do as much to lessen work end
add to domestic comfort as properly
selected electric labor sowing devices
even AS no dollar buys so mucf
service as the dollar spent for the
electricity that operates them. The
electric light and power industry anf
the electrical manufacturing indus
try rave been revolutionary factors
| in American life. TO them belongs
much Of the credit for the America
standard Of living, which is incom
parably the highest III the world

Fight Aftermath
The aftermath Of the Joe Louis
victory over Braddock Is what every
one felt it should be- rejoicing over
the crowning of a new fistic kirg, but
no racial demonstrations. Celored
people the country over, while doing
the natural thing in showing grea
pride in their idol, were none III 4 les
conscious Of the courage of James J..
Braddoci, and freely paid tribute to
the fallen hero. Joe himself said he
wants to go like Bradd0ck -bravely
when his time comes.
The country missed The late Ar
thur Brisbane and his gorilla NOR
alizings. We are all better off for
the "gorilia serenade" rot coming
Oft. Perhaps the recent passing Of
Brisbane's chief paper, The New

the trend Of the great columnist's in
fiuence at his death last Christmas.
His famous "Today'' New York paper
survived him less than seven months.
