PRESENTS
WAGE, HOUR BILLS
Industrial Omnibus Measure
Taken to White House
by Co-ordinator.

An amnibus legislative program en-
bracing proposals for the fixing by
law of maximum hours and minimum
wages in industry, abolition Of child
labor. prevention of unfair methods
OF competition. Federal aid to small
business and the creation OF a per-
manent economic advisory commits
sion was presented to President Roose-
welt yesterday afternoon by George l..
Berry, Federal co-ordinator of indus
trial cooperation, on behalf of the
Council for Industrial Progress.
Making a personal visit to the White
House, Maj Berry submitted tentative
drafts of bills pointed toward these
objectives, discussing them briefly with
the President. The proposals, it is
expected, will be considered by ad-
ministration leaders along with numer-
Gus other suggestions for legislation
bearing upon hours and wages and
other industrial problems.
Explains Bills Purpose.
In explaining the proposed legisla-
tive treatment OF hours, wages, child
labor and competitive practices, the
co-ordinator's Office announced it to
be promised upon the fact, to be es-
tablished by legislative finding, that
sweated labor and employment of
children constitute unfair methods of
competition in commerce. as Is the case
now recognized by statute and the
courts as regarding certain other spe-
cific competitive practices held to be
unfair"
1t is part of the councils plan that
such legislation, if enacted, would be
administered by the Federal Trade
Commission, enlarged to nine mem
bers and containing equal representa-
tion of labor. management and the
public
Regarding the proposal for Federal
aid to small business, the councils
suggestion contains provision for
Federal insurance of loans to small
enterprises made by banks and other
private lending institutions. Such in
surance, 1t is contended, would make
money more easily available to small
business.
Job Census Unmentioned.
Although the council went on record
at its meeting about six weeks ago
in favor of an employment census
every five year, no proposal for this
task was contained in the program
submitted to the President yesterday.
The purpose OF the proposSi Eco
nomic Advisory Council, it was ex-
planned. would be ito aid in the stabili-
zation of employment in industry, agri-
culture and commerce, and make com.
prehensive and continuing study Of
the national income. to prevent in
dustrial stagnation and a recurrence
OF depression conditions"

Initiative, like a fish, has to be caught when it is present. All the bait and hooks in the world won't land trout unless there is trout in the water.
 Children are like a stream, at moments placid and empty, but again full of interest in life.
 The boy sees something he wants to do, fleeting urge to ac- complish something. For instance, he says: Please let me have the camera, mother. want to take your picture"
 It is Ia new camera, and Johnny has never worked one. So now her first impulse is to say, 'No, son, you don't understood how to get dis tance or sum-
 This may not dampen his an- xiety to pull a lever, and in two days see the picture that his own hand has wrought, but 1t does something else, if too often repeated. It takes the edge of an urge to try new things because he fears to spoil WlAat AlG AlACO attCALtRtos
 They Learn by Doing
 Johnny says, "Let me unlock the car door for you, daddy. know how" But his father says, "No, you'll lose the keys. I'll unlock 1t myself" -N
 If he tried his boy out, he might be surprised to discover that by ob- servation this child knows that car keys are sacred, and that Johnny knows exactly how it is done.
 There are thousands of little things that children beg to do. like grown-up folk. The more they are allowed to try, the more they will succeed in. They will make mistakes and spoil some things, but in the main they will learn more assurance and inde- pendence. N
 So many parents consider little children ignoramusus, while act- ually they are as wise as Solo, mon. The wisdom of children perpetually astonishes me. They pick Up things so quickly it puts us oldsters to shame. How did Sonny learn to work Q camera, for instance? By observation and an uncomfortable urge to work the dingus himself. His interest taught him. The same with car keys. And, if the truth were told

 Meet Children Half Way
 We must meet impulse half way. Otherwise 1t may die of illustration. Our children could do more than they do. Those fatal words mot allowed" kill too much of 1t. Of course we cannot afford to have things spoiled, but even so, experience always costs price at the time, to pay large dividends later. There are times when the stream is empty and nothing is there to be caught, but when there is, this is the time to cast our lines and bring to the top the beating urges that mean so much to the developing mind. Unlike fish, to carry on the simile, these urges do not die when caught, but continue to add to strength and confidence.

by accumulation in the blood or deposit in the tissues of uric acid or salts of uric acid. Especially de- posits of mono-sodium-urate in the tissues about joints, particularly the great toe joint. This theory, how ever, was conceived in the days be- fore chemistry in medicine. Today we know that the blood of healthy person contains certain amount of uric acid; and that the amount of pric acid in the blood is increased somewhat in numerous diseases in which the metabolism rate or oXida- ton rate is lowered. Chalky deposits (of mono-sodium- -urate) are conn- monly found in the tissues of per- sons who have never had an ail- ment that can possibly purport to be gout. No one today seriously maintains that excess of uric acid or any of its salts accounts for any particular malady. except few nice old fashioned doctors who hold their nice old fashioned clientele despite all newer knowledge and progress.
 Pellagra
 Will say I am one of the few cases of pellagra in this area. Any suggestions you might give will be greatly appreciated. (Mrs. M. P. Al
 Answer-Unquestionably there are thousands of mild cases everywhere, and most of them dabble with var ious remedies of their own choosing without benefit of medical advice. Diet must provide plenty of vita min C.. Booklet "Victuals and Vite" gives specific suggestions-send ten cents coin and regular size stamped envelope bearing your address. Optimal ration of irradiated yeast to supplement diet is perhaps the best remedy. Or plain yeast in any form is good. Tn southern regions where pellagra prevails dry yeast powder is sold by the pound at moderate cost. -
 One Vote For Dr. Webster
 As the mother of three husky acrobats and trainer of many more I protest against your iilsistence that Webster's dictionary is wrong about somersaults. You look silly trying to correct. Webster's somersaultS in- to lair springs" What you call somersaults are properly called "roll-overs.' (H. c. F)
 Answer-Thank you. If you can persuade Webster to adopt the term "roll-over" 1t will be satisfactory tc me. At present Webster recognizes only rotation of the body in the lateral plane as a roll, ard that will not do. In the somersault l recom- mend you just curl Up and roll like wheel.

OUT GOES GOUT

 Some old timers wonder why l strive to disabuse the popular mind of such wrong notions as common cold" acute indigestion" nervous breakdown" nervous exhaustion" :" "acidosis." "autointclxlcation" and rheumatism" Indeed, I believe the more you fool with such meaning less terms the better 1t will be for my business as health commenta- tor and in the long run for the business of all real doctors in prac- tice. Nervous breakdown" for ex- ample, is conventional enough and withal convenient to explain the potential scandal to nosy neighbors or the public of a prominent movie or opera star. It may be all right to finagle the patient with, if you are sure the patient doesn't know any better. But 1t is a fool-hardy thing to ascribe your own short- comings. weaknesses or ailments to nervousness" weak nerves or nervous exhaustion"- unless you elect a parasitic existence as a Class b neurotlc.

 Contrary to the ideas of many, the girl who has naturally vivid coloring will find sparkling, bright shades especially filateering. Her own color makes dark, dullish cloth- es seem pale and uninteresting by comparison.
 One important motion picture star who has creamy white skin, dark brown eyes and darkest brown hair, chooses deep reds. electric blues, clear yellows and gay orang- ish shades in preference to black or dark brown or navy blue. She knows that black is the smartest color of all and that navy is Q prac- .tical, chic shade for summer, but she knows, too, that with both of these she fades into oblivion when she wears them. With bright shades,

she can hold her own-and they do not suffer by comparison.
 Black is wonderful on @ pala blonde, with light blue eyes, ash. en or light golden hair. It serves as a subtle background and does not make her delicate coloring seem too pale. Black dresses for brunettes are more becoming when finished with white collars or a bit of jew. elled. The same is true of light gray.
 If you are trim and slender, there's nothing quite as lovely as a white evening gown. If you are very large or very much over- weight. avoid 1t, especially in satin or other shiny fabrics. Most women love to wear white in the evening. but only the petite or tall willowy ones should.

The average woman trusts her
intuition in everything except her
own love-probIems. In these she
tunes off the inner voice and
asks the "advice" of anybody who
will disagree with it.
OF all the thousands of letters
received by the "Lovelorn" col
umniSts, at least rs per cent ring
the changes on the old question:
Does he love me?"
I sometimes wonder at the pa
tience, the sympathy and the care
full analysis with which these let
ters are answered by the love-
experts, when they might merely
say, "Of course he doesn't, you
little boob!', and let it rest at
that. Because nine times out of
ten a mans love has been in a
coma for quite while by the
time a woman begins to suspect
it.
It takes such a lot to make a
woman believe that a mans emo
tional reactions can change as
suddenly as the color of a Wom-

loved her yesterday doesn't mean
that he loves her today-any more
than because the weather is fair

AS the household Of the natior
looks forward to the annual OBJ
servance of the birth Of Abraham
Lincoln, this much at least is due
his memory:
To expose and denounce the
mendacity of those political sap
pers who misappropriate the
honored name of Lincoln to mis-
lead the people into believing that
the saviour of the union was on the
side of those who are seeking tc
destroy the independence Of the
judiciary.
1t is true that Mr.. Lincoln did
not always find himself in agree
ment with the decisions of the
Great Tribunal. But, when he dis
agreed, Mr.. Lincoln was careful
to demonstrate his loyalty to the
government of the Constitution by
setting his people the example OF
submitting to the decisions Of the
court.
AN EXAMPLE
Speaking at Galena, ILL.,, on Au-
gust /, 1855, Mr.. Lincoln said:
''I grant you that an uncOn.
StitutiOnal act is not law; but 1
do not ask and will not take your
construction of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court of the United
States is the tribunal to decide
such a question, and we will sub
NIT to its decisions; and if you
do also, there will be an end Of
the matter. Will you? If not,
who are the disuniOnistS-yOu or
we?"

tinguished historian of the Su'
preme Court, Mr.. Charles Warren,
Of Massachusetts,, recalls an Incl.

coins day.
In 1866 five out of the nine
justices then sitting had been ap.
pointed by President Lincoln.
Nevertheless the Court found
against him in a most important
case. AS President, Mr.. Lincoln
had established military tribunals
in places where the civil courts
were still open. These places were
outside the actual theater of war
The Court, majority of which
had been appointed by Mr.. Lincoln,
held that his order in this case
was illegal and that "a man sen.
fenced to be hung by such a
tribunal was unconStitutionally
sentenced and must be released"
The opinion of the court in this
famous case was delivered by none
other than Mr.. Lincoln's close per
sonal friend, Mr.. Justice Davis
In the course of this opinion, the
Great Court, speaking through the
friend of the great President, said

United States is a law for rulers
and people, equally in war and

gives the answer before she asks
her question. He has stopped call
ing and never telephones her any
more; but he is as sweet as ever
whenever they meet by chance.
Or he still tells her that he loves
her, but he breaks his engage
ments with her to go out with an
other girl. Or he is going back to
his wife, and feels that it wouldn't
be right to see her any more. All
the old alibis and light fiction!
She knows in the bottom of her
heart that his love is as dead as
Sardine. 1t isn't even wriggling
and gasping for breath. She could
not bring it back with a pulmotor.
All this is as obvious as toupee
and as clear as flood light.
Thousands of words have been
written and thousands of lectures
delivered on that marvellous sixth
sense called "Woman's Intuition" ."
But when it comes to the most i'm
portant problem of her life, and
her intuition tells her that
"Johnnys gone marching home,
she stuffs her ears, STILES her com
mon sense, and writes for advice
to somebody else in the hope that
for ONCE, her intuition is on the
blink and that she'll be contra
dicted.
