tory treatment Of the matter Of reIa-
tionship between industry and labor.
This Mr.. Roosevelt admits and he goes
further to pronounce the fundamental
fact that the whole relationship is an
evolutionary one: in other words, one
still in the stage OF development and
refining.
In view Of his acknowledgment of
these basic circumstances it would seem
that Mr.. Roosevelt actually is withhold
ing Judgment on the Wagner Act until
his proposed commission has reported,
rather than extending permanent and
complete approval to the labor relations
law at the present time.
Such a position of suspended judg-
ment is not an unwis. one in the face Of
wide differences of opinion as to what,
If anything, is the matter with the pres
ent law. Foes of 1t can present formid-
able array of testimony to the effect that
it is one-sided and destructive in opera
ton; its friends argue with equal force
that 1t merely balances some of the ad-
vantages already possessed by industry
as opposed to labor and that 1t would
have salutary effect on both if allowed
to work.
England has been through much of
this controversy in practical experience.
The solutions which she has applied,
and the degree of success which has
attended their application, should be of
both educational and practical value
to us.

are usually unaware of the degree of
hearing loss. in each of the two ears
Thirteen per cent of those examined re-
ported normal hearing in one ear and
various degrees of deafness in the other.
But the audiometer showed that if one
ear Is defective for hearing direct con-
versation the other ear is impaired to
an equal or worse degree in approx
mately three-fourths of the cases. Con-
versely, 1t was shown that if either ear
was normal the other was normal also in
80 per cent Of the cases. Also if either
ear was defective for telephone CONVEX
satton, the other ear was found deaf for
direct conversation in SO per cent of the
cases.
A significant part of the Public Health
Service program will be to determine
the degree of relationship between hear
Ing loss and actual diseases of the ear.
The preliminary analysis indicates that
about half of all ears showing definite
diseased conditions have impaired hear
ing, whereas four out of every five ears
that are physically normal have normal
hearing. Although deafness resulting
from infections of the ear is generally
supposed to be specific to childhood, that
study indicates that this factor holds
throughout life. Naturally there is
greater prevalence of impaired hearing
with advancing years, but 1t is believed
much more of this can be attributed to
infections than generally has been sup
posed.

Pigskin Paganini.
From the Danyille (Il.) Commercial-News

from the Danvllle C1ll) Commercial-News.
lie Roy Mills, Mount Vernon lawyer,
who kicks football expertly as an avoca-
ton. should be known as the Paganini
OF the pigskin.
Such stunts as Stopping punts just
where he wants to, kicking the ball with
she shoes of, and placing the spheroid
out Of bounds at desired point are done
with classic skill bordering on genius
His tricks are as notable as Joe Fal-
caros or Andy Varipapa's on the bowling
alley. These gentlemen are able to do
such things as knock down pins on two
lanes with one ball or make what seems
impossible split shots.
The Mills repertory is as amazing as
that of Denny Shute or Tommy Armour,
with their ability to clout golf ball off
somebody's chin or watch with no dam
age to the improvised tee.
Mr.. Mills pediatric dexterity shows
once again the myriad ways to fame,
and sometimes fortune, for the person
who will study and work hard enough
to do one thing better than any one else
can do 1t. Fritz Kreisler, Sonia Henie,
Rudy Vallee offer testimony along differ
ent lines to this same effect.
The main difficulty is that most of
us are imitators rather than originators.
Who would practice to become the
worlds greatest football kicker? Prob
ably nobody but LIE Roy Mills. Let's
look around and see what other lines
are open and waiting for a champion
to arise.
Even If we never win the fame or
fortune, or even the skill, we seek, we
should at least provide ourselves with
a hobby which will put new interest in
life and give us fresher body and less
befogged brain with which to attack our
necessary livelihood.
Leroy Mills not only kicks football;
he sets goM example.

The Theory and the Fact.

cooperative buying, in theory, is
wonderfully advantageous to those in
diyiduals who combine their resources
for that purpose. The commodity or
service desired by the group is obtained
at bargain price. Especially if the
purchasers are professional radicals in
tent upon wrecking what they call "the
profit system" each transaction repre-
serts a victory over capitalism, triumph
for the almost perfect state of COM
miinism in which private property is
outlawed
But the picture, rosy bright as 1t may
seem, has its shadows. The indefinable
yet precious element known as quality"
disappears when the motivating power
behind it is decreased in intensity. Goods
become cheap in more ways than one
when their legitimate worth is chal-
lenged by mass attaqk. And decline

A Policy of Protest.

While there is no direct connection
between the United States vigorous
complaint to Japan against seizure of
American property in China and its
emphatic reprobation" of bombings of
civilians in China and Spain, the juxta-
position of those separate actions SYM
bolizes a program of vigilance and
remonstrance which merits national ap-
proval. 1t deserves that, not only be-
cause of the merits of the specific cases
which occasioned the State Departments
steps. Even more significantly, Secre-
tary Hull's demand on Toxic for respect
dersecretary Welles' rebuke of Insurgent
air savagery in Spain, and similar Japa-
nese slaughter at Canton, denote that
the Washington Government is con-
sistently pursuing a policy of protest
against the international carnage now
rampant on both sides of the world.
Short of the Nations readiness to take
up arms against 'the reign of terror
and lawlessness" pilloried by President
Roosevelt at Chicago, as menace to
all the Americas, there is no recourse
open to the United States except that of
firm and unrelenting condemnation. 1t
Is as gratifying to the country as it is
unmistakably reflective of American
sentiment that the administration
therefore resorts regularly and reso-
lutely to the practice of putting us
squarely and periodically on record for
law, order and humanity when nations,
under autocratic spur, make merciless
war on innocent peoples.
Last week Washington reminded Ger
many and Czechoslovakia that their Kel-
logg pact obligations impose upon them
the duty of settling amicably the con-
troversy now convulsing Central Europe.
This weeks instantaneously effective re-
quirement Of Japan that she cease and
desist from spoliation of American
church and university properties at
Shanghai and from interference with
our UuSl1leSS IleI ana missionaries III LIle
Lower Yangtze Valley is now followed
by Mr.. Welles' stern and significant re-
minder that American public opinion
regards as barbarous the ruthless bomb
ing of unfortified localities and resultant
slaughter of civilian populations, in par
ticular of women and children"
In the celebrated quarantine" speech
Of October S, Mr. Roosevelt quoted from
an unnamed source to envision what will
happen If terror and international law
lessness" are not checked There will
be no safety by arms" he said, mo help
from authority, no answer in science.
The storm will rage till every flower of
culture is trampled, and all human
beings are leveled in vast chaos"
1t is to postpone, if not utterly to
avert, the arrival of such an inferno
that our humanitarian Secretary of
State and his able chief coadjutor have
spoken out in terms expressive of the
American tradition. The department
headed by Messrs Hull and Welles has
once more performed service that stirs
the Republics pride and evokes its COM
mendation.

Many gramophone owners still protest
getting up and down to put records on
and take them of, but we have yet to
hear any enthusiast express dislike for
breaks between the record sides Of q
long composition.
One of the feature differences between
the records today and as they were in
the heyday before radio is that the
album set, consisting Of two or more
records, is distinctly in the ascendency.
In the old days collectors ended up
with hodgepodge of short selections,
often no more than dinner music, So
called.
Today they buy symphonies, often run
ming to seven discs, or fourteen record
sides, violin and piano concertos.
The accent also is on instrumental
music, as contrasted with voice. The
new era of electrical reproduction was
heralded with run on opera albums,
but in the past five years the most re-
corded composers have been Bach, Mo-
zart and Beethoven.
One not peculiarly interested in this
phase of music might think the addicts
would be perturbed by symphony in
ten spasms, each one of them ending
abruptly, except when 1t naturally ended
movement.
Just the opposite is true, and there Is
very good reason for it.
The reason no one protests this sort OF
thing is that it is so perfectly natural. 10
The breaks" between record sides are
really just rests.
The rest, in music, is potent.
There Is not only the small rest, or
pause, at intervals in a composition,
often with the most dramatic effect, but
in symphonic music there is the pause
at the end of each movement. On all,
that is, except symphonies In which the
third and fourth movements are played
as one)
Every one who has heard symphony
In concert hall knows the joyous hustle
OF both players and people at the end of
a movement.
First, there Is applause.
Then the artists retune their instru-
ments
The audience, of course, talks, coughs,
and sneezes, as usual thing.
Many an honest listener, at a SYM
phony concert, has wished that there
might be an extra pause in a move
ment!
Something by Brahms, let us say.
Well, that extra rest is had on the
records.
The rest is such normal thing that
no one minds taking his Beethoven sec
ond' in six takes
1t seems right, and is right; it allows
the auditor to do something" himself.
1t gives him the opportunity to be-
come part of the very music to which
he is listening.
This is no small matter, in recorded
music, for so much has been done for
him already. The composer has written,
the players have performed, the music
has been recorded. the individual discs
have been pressed, nicely put into an
album, with few notes in a leaflet, and
duly delivered to the music lover for $5.

used to be called, and one has in one S

Suggests Soothing Remedy
For a Political Hangover

To the Editor of The Star:
beg of you the privilege of permit
ting me to suggest soothing remedy
for a political hangover" to your
columnist, Jay Franklin, who, in We'd
nesdays edition of your worthy publi-
cation revealed that he has bumped his
head severely against the political wall
ing wall of ex-politico oficeholders
metamorphosed into writer's who "take
stories off the WALL
Mr.. Franklin bemoans the fact that
the New York Times published a story
by Mr.. Turner Catledge, whom I know
to be a most able newspaper man, in
which Mr.. Catledge claims that certain
r. F. G. official and others have turned
the heat" on Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace in connection with the primaries
in Iowa next Monday, through land he
says so himself) Mr.. Franklin and his
column.
Mr.. Franklins yarn of June 2 further
assails Messrs. David Lawrence, Walter
Lippmann and Mark Sullivan for not
having come out in favor of Representa-
tive Otha D. Wearin, seeking the sena-
torial nomination on the Democratic
ticket, the seat now being held by Sena-
tor Guy M. Gillette, who is, according to
Mr.. Franklin, "betrayer of the elec-
torate" of Iowa.
Whatever Interior motives Mr.. Frank
lin may have had when writing his
story, whatever reason he may have for
his belittling remarks pertaining to his
former chief (Secretary Wallace, what
ever his solicitous anxiety to defend
Harry Hopkins for taking sides in favor
of Mr.. Wearin, despite his publicly an
nounced policy applicable to "all those
employed by the w. P. A." mote firing
of w. P. A. employees in Pennsylvania
recently, is easily explained by Mr.
Franklin himself. If you cannot guess
his reasons, just remember an old, very
old but still true proverb: The cat stays
in the kitchen for the offal!
However, Mr.. Franklin overlooked
something. He completely overlooked
the fact that perhaps there may not be
any political offal. Especially not since
Mr.. Wearin was one of those who be-
trayed the Iowa hog raisers, the Iowa
packers, by helping defeat proposed
excise tax on pork and pork products
He forgets that Senator Gillette, with
"iioAA As4A. AoAAhAhA PASoabAy &ILfEi ulo
cussed Mr.. Wearins candidacy or any,
thing else, tried in vain to have the con-
ferees on the tax bill restore some form
of excise tax on pork.
Perhaps Mr.. Franklin also forgot that
Mr.. Gillette supported about as many
New Deal measures as Mr.. Wearin did
and that, after all, I'VE, the People
especially those where the tall corr
grows, and from where are blown little
kernels like Mr.. Franklin), decide whom
they want for candidate, regardless oi
how much Mr.. Franklin would like te
force Secretary Wallace to show his
hand.
My suggestion to Mr.. Franklin is to
sober up politically, discontinue attempt
ing to sway the minds of Iowans for pos
sible future personal advantage, learn
some precinct politics and forego short
cuts" along roads entirely foreign to him
If he cannot do that I would suggest
changing his column to something ir
Montgomery-Ward catalogues. After
all, the latter are read at more leisure
throughout Iowa than I'VE, the People.

WHEN there are so many
w fine new cosmetics COM
ing out every few months, it is
nothing but good sense to dis
card many of the old ones, but
there are always a few of the
tried and true favorites that will
remain with us. And when we
find a cream, powder or any
product to be satisfactory for our
individual needs we should con-
tinue to use it. Some of the
older manufacturers have for
mulae which they never vary in
the least, and women who used
them forty years ago or more
can be sure of finding the same
product and usually in the
same wrapping.
This is true of some Of the
creams and all kinds of makeup,
and some of the favorites are
the oils made up with honey,
and used principally as wrinkle
eradicatorS. There is a lot said
of the chemical effect of honey
on the skin but its virtue may
be classed as a pore cleanser,
bleach and rejuvenator.
1t adheres so firmly that when
it is removed it leaves refined
smooth surface, then followed
by a good massage, will certainly
smooth out the wrinkles, at least
temporarily.
There is another way to apply
honey to the skin and that is as
a Honey Facial. The honey may

be applied to the skin after it
has been thoroughly cleanSed
and we may expect almost the
same results as from one appli-
cation of the muscle oil, but one
may use the muscle oil and

times a week.

to check up on the state of your

nourishment, or you may not be
getting enough rest. Then, you
know eye strain will encourage
wrinkles too. The honey oils and

prove the condition a great deal.
