The above quoted dispatch from Washington ex-
plains the above quoted report from Variety on movie
theater business in Detroit.
When automobile orders slack off, De-
Detroit trot is hit where it lives. It was the sad
Hard Hit dest most rundown big town in the
country during The Depression. It was
the storm center of the bank-failure cyclone What
radicals call revolutionary situation was building up
among Deroit's thousands of public park dweers and
sleepers when the Roosevelt Administration started
Government dollars rolling into direct relief of the
| jobless.
With the bad old days creeping back to Detroit al
most everybody has remedy to offer for the booming
ups and crashing downs of employment in the auto
industry
There is one remedy which the three parties most
interested and Influential in the matter have agreed in
principle. President Roosevelt long time ago sug-
gested that if auto industry
annual Salaries employees could be shifted
For Auto Workers somehow to an annual-salary
basis, all concerned would be
better off. With this, auto industrial leaders and
John L. Lewis leader of the recently organized auto
workers, have agreed-provided it could be accom-
plished
Not being automobile experts, don't know how it
would be. 1t looks to if it would involve some
system of storage Of produced cars just as water is
stored in a working system of flood control. Ap-
parently only kind of cartel could accomplish that
some association of auto makers pledged to control
output and soften of the cutting edges of competi
ton in the public interest.
IF it could be brought about its advantages are OBJ
vious. Auto workers as human as the rest of u.s.
A man on a regular salary can, by using some will
power adjust his outgo to his income who works
only half year at, say $40 day, is very strong
wiled and unusual man if he say, "Now, III spend
cy So Of odays pay and the rest goes into the bank
because might not have job six months from todav
and make that resolve stick Most of us are not built
that way.
We hope the auto industry, the workers and the
Government will keep on trying to reach the annual
salary goal. the auto industry can swing it, it will
probably spread to other disrupted and discon
tented industries, such as coal and shipping

Development of such a para

studied by manufacturers, accord

The manufacturers feel that
there should be less use of horns,
which seem now to express the i'm
patience Of second-rate drivers,
tco many of whom try to drive
other cars by necessarily sounding

and radio engagements.
At the hotel he elaborated by
detailing exactly what he received
In cash for his years as a child

ever saw of it was $2,500 in cash,

more than $4,000.

about it until the papers were

SPECIALIST NEED

Need for the specialist in every
community to handle occupational
diseases has grown acute because
the States are rapidly enacting
new compensation laws to care for
the workers who suffer from the
occupations. Formerly, industrial
practice was largely confined to
surgery, because only accidents in
which workmen were broken or
cut came within the law.
DR.. Rutherford T. Johnstone, Of
Los Angeles, speaking before one
of the sections of the association,
pointed out the need of occupa-
tional disease specialists. He criti-
cized medical schools for paying
little attention to this phase and
said:
"A Socially-minded govern
ment, an ever aggressive labor
organization and a socially con-
scious workman soon will force
into being throughout all our
States compensation for all
types of occupational diseases"
SINUS TROUBLE
Sinus trouble was described as a
disease much more prevalent in
children than most people realize

Mitchell, Memphis child specialist.
