The "break" between Lewis
and the President seems to be en-
tirely due to an assumption on
the part of the c. |. o. leader
that the President of the United
States should be the subservient
tool of his organization. In other
words, having supported Mr..
Roosevelt during the campaign,
the C. l. o. was entitled to his
full support in all of its battles.
While the President has unmis-
takably given expression to a
genuine sympathy for organized
labor and has contributed great
ly to its power in achieving its
ends, there is no basis for a be-
lief that the Chief Executive is
ready to sign his name to a blank
check made out in favor of GER
tain labor leaders.

Apparently public opinion in
the United States has not yet ex-
pressed itself in regard to the
choice which must be made be-
tween a nationalistic or an inter
natiGRal policy in regard to the
promotion of trade. The present
unsettled condition of world af-
fairs seems to preclude the posi-
bility of an yearly return to nor
NAL. Meanwhile, the United
States, unable to dispose of its
surplus production abroad, is in
evitably propelled to a system of
internal regulation. This applies
very forcefully to agriculture,
where sizeable surpluses in crops
like wheat and cotton. are tow
ering over domestic requirements.
Something of the same condition
threatens industrial production as
well.

Either the nation must find a
market for its goods or establish
effective controls over production
OF commodities which depend
upon foreign markets for a de-
cisive part OF their income. While
Americans are beginning to un-
derstand that the nation has
changed from a debtor to a credi-
tor status in regard to interna-
tional trade. there is as yet little
indication that they are willing
to lend money abroad to encour-
age buying of American goods, OF
that they favor the opening of our
domestic markets to foreign prod
ucts.

Either would have, been all right,

Is usually a change in the bones,

70 twenty per cent of people after
middle life have it in some form.
Most often these are very mild
and hardly noticeable except to the
alert eye.
In a complete case, the bones
VI the skull, Of the legs, arms and
backbone are affected. They all
get thicker and heavier, due to the

Shrinking in Height Due

was a complete mystery until a
few years ago when the influence
Of the parathyroid glands in the
neck on calcium formation, was
discovered. This activity has been
related to the excessive calcium
deposit Of Paget's. In a few in
stances, overgrowth Of the para
thyroids has been found in these
cases, and their removal has
checked the course of the disease.
It appears this was so in the case
pictured for the caption reads,
"The doctors checked his para
thyroid trouble"
Mild degrees Of the condition,
as I have said, occur in many ED
erly people. It is common for
those over seventy to shrink. The
professor Of anatomy in one Of our
best medical schools says that a.
skeleton which can be dissected
and put together again must come
from a man under thirty. These
changes do no harm, although they
are frequently associated with
rheumatic pains. .,...
