A RLENE HARRIS, on the AL Pearce

ces until two years ago, when she first
came to New York from the Pacific
Coast. Then she discovered that there
was another Arlene Frances In New

and monologist. To save mix-up. she
changed her radio name to Harris.
That was not difficult. because she

Working Hours-and Facts.

from the San Francisco Chronicle.
We must, says the President, put more
men to work by limiting the working
hours of those who do work. We must,
he says, prescribe minimum wages for
our workers in order to provide an ex-
panded market for the products Of
factory and farm.
Whatever may be the merits of a mini
mum wage, 1t is clear that q reduction
OF working hours does not entirely jibe
with the facts about today's unemploy-
ment problem
The most dramatic news written by
the recovery from the workers stand
point is that labor shortage exists
concurrently with an unemployment
problem. The shortage is in skilled
labor: If skilled workers could be dis
covered, they would each in his turn
provide jobs for one, two or five un-
skilled workmen."
Such is the description of today's
unemployment problem arrived at by
Fortune after competent and Impair
tial survey of the Nation. It is a
description borne out by the experience
OF many employers
The purpose of limiting hours is to
make room for more workers in industry
But in the field of skilled labor, why
make room for more workers when
there aren't any more? A reduction of
hours for this class OF labor could have
but one effect: A reduction in the
amount of goods produced. Which
isn't the way to prosperity.

I submit few figures which I have

Population on July l, 1896, $4,000:
saloons, 1874: drunken men In q year,
1888; drunken women in a year, 1851;
churches. 800.
Four and 50 hundredths saloons to
every church! What an example for the
Capital City of the Nation to set for all
the cities. towns and crossroads in the
United States!
In the same proportion to the popu-
lation OF Washington there would be

New Situations Always
Will Require New Deals
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor OF The Star:
Goethe was no new dealer" no wild
revolutionary" Born into a patrician
family he spent most of his life as min
lister of state to the Grand Duke of Sake
Weimer On the side, of course, he was
one Of the worlds master minds. He met
Napoleon as an equal.
Belonging to the privileged class he
had no cause to quarrel with the existing
order. And yet he said: Laws and con-
cepts of justice are passed on, like an
everlasting malady, from generation to
generation. What once was reason be-
comes tunder changed conditions) nom
sense. What once conferred a boon now
imposes burden. Woe unto us who
must bear the load"
And so even those whom birth, en-
vironment or talents have placed above
the common herd recognize the futility
OF declaring a permanent status quo.
When the times call for it. the "old
deal" must 60. and a new dispensation
must take its place. The world is on the
move. FRED VETTER.

Permanent Works Program.

Prom the Lone Beach Press-Telegram
Out Of the depression and efforts for
relief there may come. there should
come, permanent public works pro-
gram inclusive of worthy projects only,
and subject to slowing down or speeding
tion.
This is not new idea: but the ext
gencies OF the times have revived it. and
given 1t the substance of merit. Public
thought responds to official leadership
along these lines. One practical result
OF this cryStallization of sentiment may
be seen In a series of conferences now
being held In California and Oregon
preparatory to making recommendations
to the Federal National Resources Com
mittee.
For the central valley and central
coast region. a total of SAT-, 900, 900 in
tentative projects Is being considered, the
big sum including the $40 000, 900 Gen.
trail Valleys water and power undertak-
ing. already enjoying congressional and
administration approval.
Committees representing Southern and
Eastern California and Northern Cali
fornia and Oregon will be in session in
the very near future, and q comprehen-
sive outline of desirable public works
will be compiled.
The wisdom Of such a course is OBJ
vious. II there had been q working plan
for an extensive group of public i'm
provements at the outset of the depres-
sion. many of the costly mistakes and
ill-advised proposals of hasty prepara-
ton would have been avoided, relief
would have been more prompt and efIec-
tive and recovery speeded.

Unemployment Census.

1t would be difficult to overstress the
Importance of the national unemploy-
ment census the Government will begin
taking tomorrow. 1t represents, at last,
an intelligent approach to the problem
OF unemployment, which has sapped the
vitality and drained the resources of the
Nation during the years of the depres-
sion.
Presumably, it signifies the end of
haphazard and often wasteful efforts at
unemployment relief. If the census is
. success, the Government should know
with reasonable certainty how many
unemployed persons there are who are
willing and able to work, where they are
located, what their past working expert
ence has been and which industries are
best suited to their employment.
John D. Biggers, one of the country's
outstanding industrialists, has been
placed in charge of the census. The
desired information will be secured
through unemployment report cards
which will be delivered to 100000
homes by $4,000 postal carriers Each
card contains fourteen questions. They
are clearly stated and self-explanatory,
but II any recipient desires additional
information it can be obtained from the
local post of11ce or postman. The cards
should be filled out and mailed not later
than midnight, November 20, no postage
being required.
Since compliance with the census is
wholly voluntary, Mr.. Biggers has uti-
lized every conceivable agency-the
churches, schools, radio and news
papers-to educate the public to the
Importance of the undertaking. 1t has
been pointed out that the information
received will be treated as confidential
and can in no way react to the dis
advantage of the person giving it.
In calling for the full cooperation Of
the people as whole, the President last
night emphasized, with his usual force
fulness the importance OF realizing that
unemployment relief. and emergency
work provided by national, State and
local governments is not the ultimate
solution of the unemployment problem,
and that final solution will not come
until national thinking has evolved
constructive plan based upon a COM
plete knowledge Of all the facts.

The Peoples Delegates.

When Congress reassembles, I'VE. the
people," are met. The fact is worthy of
notice. President Roosevelt summons
House and Senate. but they are not his
instruments. Neither are members OF
the national legislature free agents in
the sense implied in the notion that they
may do as they please. 1t is the dele
gates Of the people of the United States
that gather under the white dome OF
the Capitol.
Such was the purpose and the intent
of the founders of the Republic when
they framed the Constitution, and such
has been the design of successive genera
tions of citizens for century and a half
since their basic charter of organized
freedom was adopted. Democracy in
America depends upon the preservation
of the traditional concept of Congress as
thinking, speaking and acting as the
voters of the Nation think, speak and
act. Senators and Representatives are
the servants Of the electorate. That is
the role they are assigned to play in
Washington.
And it is part of their duty to reflect
in their policies the alterations in public
opinion which develop between elections.
Changes of conditions prompt changes in
the mind of the population. A mandate
given one year may be contradicted the
next. The prevailing attitude toward
relief for business, discernible today from
coast to coast, is a case in point. In
1886 millions believed that prosperity re-
quired legislative coercion OF industry
and trade; at the present moment the
same multitude is demanding breath
ing spell" from restriction.
Similarly, there now is little senti-
ment for reforming" the Supreme
Court. That issue, once vigorously mill
tant, has declined in vitality until it is
difficult to find anybody willing to argue
for its inclusion in the calendar for de-
bate. Keeping the country out of war
is subject about which the masses are
much more conspicuously concerned. In
deed, many signs Of change in senti-
ment are evident and the leaders are
merely rejecting, by their words and
action, the thoughts Of the people.

Against Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is winters worst scourge
There are more than 100000 cases in
the United States every year. Nearly
100000 die.
1t is the third worst killer. Only
heart diseases and cancer rank ahead
of it.
There is very little mystery about the
malady. The cause is known to every
physician-a tiny bug, the pneumococcus.
which invades the lungs. It usually
requires a weakened condition to obtain
a foothold. That is why there are 30
many deaths from pneumonia following
influenza, bad colds, surgical operations,
or almost any sort Of sickness
Very potent treatments are available
against two-thirds of all cases, consist
ing Of administration Of anti pneumonia
serums These serums, experience has
shown, are effective almost in direct ratio
to the earliness of their use.
There is little question but that the
pneumonia death rate could be reduced
enormously If serums were everywhere
available and If the disease was dag
nosed always in its earliest stages. De-
lay and neglect are fatal.
Thus pneumonia becomes q major pub
lie health problem. It has been recog-
nized as such by Surgeon General
Thomas Parran. Last week he called to
Washington the, foremost pneumonia
experts in the United States to confer
Evening star., 1937-11-15

on the general situation and to discuss
means Of more concerted action on the
part of the medical profession and the
public.
However great may be the scientific
progress In the field Of pneumonia, It
means little to the country at large un-
less the findings can be generally ap-
piled. The specific application is a
matter for the individual physician.
The general application is = legitimate
concern Of public health. .
1t is not expected that pneumonia can
be eliminated. But If the death rate
could be reduced as much as ten per
cent through research and education, the
value of the campaign would be inestim-
able.
