Readers are familiar with the
u. S. difficulties that have pre-
scented themselves as efforts to
reduce the unemployment have
been continued, and are aware of
the rocky road that has beset the
effort to make secure the eco
nornic condition of American
farmers. These are two great
domestic questions marks, which
have the best minds perplexed.
Reviving business may take care
of some of those out of work and
help the farm situation as well.
At the same time, Americans
have to face the facts that indi-
cate existence of these issues for
some years to come.
Along the line of this endeavor
is the recent appointment by the
President of a board to survey
the spending policies of the gov
eminent with reference to their
effect upon production and ma
tional income. The board includes
Secretary Morgenthau, of the
Treasury; Mariner S. Eccles, of
the Federal Reserve Board; DAN
iel w. Bell, Acting Director of the
Budget, and Frederic A. Delano,
of the Advisory Committee on
National Resources. They will
make a study before reporting to
the President and the chances are
that it will be some time before
they have report ready.
The fact that Mr.. Morgenthau
is inclined to a conservative atti-
tude in regards to budgets and
governmental finance, and that
Mr.. Eccles is an advocate of di-
rect government action to put
money in circulation arouses in
terest. The other members of the
board have not, as yet, been gen.
. orally identified with policy
making functions.

The trade pact that goes into
effect January first between the
United States and Great Britain,
New Foandland and fifty nom
self-governing colonies of the
British Empire, will last for three
years and may mark an epoch in
international commerce. Both
countries made concessions in the
hope that both will secure trade
advantages. We reduced duties on
items described as complement
airy rather than COMPETITIVE" with
American products. In 1887 the
value of the trade covered by
these concessions was $l4l ,000,-
000 In turn, Great Britain's con-
cessions, including a number of
agricultural products, affected ex-
ports that were valued at $780,
600. 900 in 1886.

The retirement of Attorney
General Cummings in January
will mark the first break in the
original Cabinet of the President
by resignation. Former vacancies
have been occasioned by death.
Immediately upon announcement
of Mr.. Cummings intention, the
air was filled with runners of
other Cabinet alterations, with
the finger being put specifically
upon Secretaries Roper and
Woodring. There may be some
thing TO the reports although we
recall very well the wild flock of
rumors that filled the newspaper
columns after the 1886 election.
It was said that several Cabinet
members would resign but we
discounted the suggestion then
they proved groundless.

tracts to give its members. medical care,
both preventive and curative, plus hos

points. Group Health Association is a
cooperative employee enterprise. The
problem was to find some way to give our

Dr. Cabot Of Harvard University like

 The famous Lobster American" is nox American. So says Louise c. Struve, the lobster expert, head of the division of home economies of the University of California. Lobster American has no connec- ton with the United States" Miss Struve sets us right on the sub ject. "It is a misnomer for Lobster American, a Breton dish called by the Roman name, for the peninsula of Brittany, which was once known as America"
 Be that as 1t may, let's eat.
 Lobster American
 Take a live lobster, cut tail into sections, split trunk III two length wise, and slightly crush severed claws. (Put aside the intentines and coral, for sauce).
 Season the lobster with salt and pepper, and put the pieces into a saucepan with 1-6 pint of oil and 1 ounce butter, both very hot. Fry over an open fire until the meat has stiffened well and the trunk is a fine red color.
 Then drain off the grease Sprinkle the pieces of lobster with two chopped shallots and one crushed cloye of garlic. Add 1-3 pint white wine, IA pint fish fumet (fiavor), small glassful of burnt brandy: one tablespoon of melted meat glaze, three small chopped-up tomatoes, or failing fresh ones, two tablespoons of tomato puree), pinch of crushed parsley and dash of cayenne.
 Cover the saucepan and cook in the oven for IS or 20 minutes. Extract the meat from the sections of the tail and the crlaws; put in a timbale with the halves of the | trunk.
 Now reduce the cooking sauce of the lobster to Ia pint. Add to the intestines and the chopped coral a piece of butter the size of wal nut. Cook for a moment and put through strainer. Heat this in a pan without letting it boil and add, away from fire. ounces butter cut into small pieces. Pour over the lob- ster and sprinkle the whole with a pinch of crushed parsley.
 When the lobster is cut up, the queen (small bag of gravel near the head. should be removed.

The custom of giving the bride something personal-de luxe cosmet- ics, for example-is becoming more and more popular. From her matron of honor and the bridesmaids and few other close friends, this years June bride is likely to get fine col lection of beauty preparations, some of which she will take along on the honeymoon and many others that will make her love the new home even more.
 Bridesmaids who know perfectly well that the newlyweds' furniture budget doesn't allow for a dressing table might give the bride a little one with mirror top and legs. These go well with any type of furniture and, of course, can be ordered in a variety of sizes.
 A case to match her luggage completely equipped with her favorite creams, lotions and makeup will make any bride happy. Or the bridesmaid might decide to stock the bathroom of the new home with handsome bot ties of cologne, bath powder, bath oil, bath brush and a shower brush, dozen huge cakes of bath soap with hand and guest size cakes to match, a set of crystal bottles for loticns, mouth wash, and so on.

Style Chats

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris - (UPD - Schiaparelli has turned pagan in striking way by making her mid-season showing a magnificent collection of "earthy' things.
 Red ants run down the front of black shantung boleros. Big brown and blue owls stare out from the buttonholes on wool jack cts. Nymphs and naiads are printed on evening gowns. Strawberries turn into buttons or sprout from the peak of green straw hat. Wheat stalks replace flowers. Cleaning greer grasshoppers perch on gold-leaveo bracelets. And red acorns sprout OH silver lame.
 It all sounds too, too unusual tc be wearable or practical for ordin- ary purses. But surprisingly enough the Schiaparelli clothes are among the most Wearable of the mid-seasor offerings. And here's what makes them so:
 Innumerable one-piece dresses ano jackets which give the effect ol three-piece outfits. The tight hip length bodices of silk are stitched tt wool skirts, while wool jackets - usually boleros match the skirts This idea is particularly effective with the use of contrasting colors ol by combining printed silk witt plain wool.
 Unequalled use of cottons, which become dressy prints under Schia- parelli's charmed needle. For exam, plea red cotton printed with green floral pattern printed in hori zontal stripes. The style is a short dress with matching bolero. The bell is of soft green leather leaves inter twined. The buttons are closed-winl grasshoppers.
 Bandana handkerchiefs (of linens cottons or silk) tie over the heat with crownless brims slipped ove! them.
 Cool shantung forms many of thu summer dresses. It vies with silk ant cotton jersey as summers No. l ma terial, especially when it's black navy or white.

 Age Al, always have taken con- siderable exercise, for six months right knee cracks loudly. Embarras- sing. Husband says I'm getting old. Doctor says I'm no spring chicken. Does one have to expect creaks and groans when one gets along in years? (Mrs. L. O.
 Answer-No. Perhaps strapping the knee or wearing a suitable elas- tic support such as that described here recently for internal derange- ment of the knee-a woven elastic (not rubber) bandage including dumbbell shaped crepe rubber pad on either side of knee. When your doctor has shown you how to apply such support you can do 1t every day for few months.

Keep Child Unaware of His Being
 Different
RAISING A FAMILY-NO. 97

There was a little girl who had one brown eye and one blue one She was beautiful child and grew up into a still greater beauty. She married a man who became famous and his career took him to foreign lands. She became one of the world finest hoStesses. Her kindness was the greatest part of her charm.
 But back of her history was an- other story. As a child she had suf- fered intense agony over her diff ferent" eyes. Her young playmates took her for granted. When she started to school, the teacher was quick the first week to tell a story about a beautiful fairy who was called Lovely Eyes" And up went a dozen hands.
 Mary Smith has eyes like the fairy" pointed out a little girl.
 Teacher was surprised. She looked at Mary closely, smiling. Why, sc you have, Mary. Isn't that wonder full"
 She had debated with herself about the story. It might only make things worse, but she had noticed q tendency in the little girl to look away or keep her eyes down. Bet ter have her face it in the right way, she thought. Now she would see what happened. Mary learned to overcome her habit of lowering her lovely lids. She could look any body in the face.
 Mothers Attitude Wrong
 But one day she met Mary's mother. And Mary's mother went onto the subject of Mary's eyes at once. Isn't it cruel that such beau- tiful child should have to go htuorgh life like that?" she sighed. I can't be resigned. We both cry together every once in a while. just can't control my feelings and we try to bear it together"
 The teacher was shocked. But, Mrs. Smith, she said softly, Mary doesn't mind. She is upset because she thinks you mind. And l know she is no longer so conscious of her difference as she was. You have a most unusually lovely daughter, and her eyes make her really more beau tiful. know lots of people with the same difference in shading"
 There were no psychiatrists then for people to go to with their prob lens. Mary's mother could not rid herself of the first depression that seized her when Mary was baby. It became real obsession. and Mary felt that she was causing 1t.
 So Mary had an unhappy child hood. Her mother had made too deep inroads on her emotions at first. to cast 1t off. She did not live to see her daughter become famous.
 This little story Is merely an ex-
