M. F. Burns Of Route who stuck
a wire in his right eye some weeks
ago has returned TO Durham and had
his eve removed. The doctors had
hopes of saving his sight in that eye
but very recently such hopes were
given up. Mr.. Burns IS one of the ones
who has met with adversely IN its

Then I hoped to win even the moth

Jones genuine polar-bear mink skin

I fell down again. And if 1 didn't get

live until then. But I shall have to

No, I didn't even win the BOBBY

But speaking of getting anything
free, l did win a fifteen-dollar gun
once some years ago, which l had
forgotten about. l kept it several
years and sold it for five dollars when
we were all in the depths of the de-
preston. We Joneses had gotten down
to our last penny at that time and
there was not any flour in the house
for biscuits for supper. There was no
lard in the bucket, nor meat in the
frying-pan. So that very gun, instead
of ending our lives, really saved our
lives just in the nick of time, And
that night we all stuck our feet under
the table and enjoyed one more meal.

More Whip.Cracking.

From the Richmond News Leader.
The dispute which caused the Federal
Social Security Board to threaten with
drawal of old-age assistance funds from
Ohio is another serious example Of the
irritations which potentially attend too
great a GENERALIZATION of executive power
in Washington. Governor Davey insists
that the board Is guilty of intolerably
tyrannical conduct In Ohio. Washing
ton says the State is not obeying the
administrative rules 8. 8. B. has laid
down in accordance with its interpreta-
ton of the act. The whip has been
cracked. Governor Davey froths, other
governors grow apprehensive, the bu-
reaucrats are uneasy.
Whoever may be right in this partic-
ular argument, one thing Is certain:
Congress, in its efforts to launch its
initial experiments successfully, gave the
Social Security Board entirely too much
power to I'LL In gaps in the statute by
regulation. II the present tribunal or
some Social Security Board Of the future
should stir up trouble in several States
simultaneously, by poor judgment, by
the play Of politics or by sheer weari-
ness, the whole fabric Of the act might
be smashed In the ensuing turmoil.
The sooner Congress overhauls the
present statute and substitutes carefully
planned ana explicit provisions for tho
sections which grant too much rule
making authority to the board, the
sooner social security In tho United

Sound Social Insurance.

Arthur ]. Altmeyer, chairman of the
Social Security Board, did not in his
National Radio Forum address Monday
night mention by name any of the vari-
Gus "get-rich- quick" pension plans that
have been advocated throughout the
country during recent years, but there
is no doubt that his remarks were aimed
Ut those plans.
Without question, there is q serious
threat to our national economy in the
growing demand for bigger pensions for
the aged and needy. The trend of the
voting this year from California to
Florida has demonstrated the political
potency Of the pension seekers, and that
fact, needless to say, has brought to the
fore politicians who have campaigned,
often successfully, on the strength Of
pension promises that would bankrupt
this or any other nation.
With that menacing situation In plain
view. 1t is not surprising that Mr. Alt
meyer devoted his talk to an able ex-
position and defense Of the Social Sc
curity Act. That legislation has been
criticized on many counts and weaknesses
naturally have been brought to light in
the early years of its operation, but,
granting that, there will be few to deny
that the old age insurance principle Of
the oct Is infinitely more sound than any
o6 the cl1imerical schemes which have
Evening star., 1938-09-21

been 20 freely proposed to entice the
votes Of . needy electorate.
Mr.. Altneyer voiced an unbeatable
truth when he said that 1t requires the
contributions Of future benenciaries and
their employers to make an old age in
surance system work. That Is the essen
tial weakness Of all the various "easy
money" pension schemes-the recipients
are not required to make any contribu-
ton toward the pension funds during
their wage-earning years.
The Social Security Act, by providing
an insurance system that will pay its own
way, does not threaten the financial in
tegrity of the Government. Every effort
should be made to bring that fact home
to the public, or the time may come when
legislators interested only in promoting
their political prospects will succeed in
replacing the present law with some one
of the current funny money" schemes.

order to zee, there u no necessity for
holding the entire facial region taut, -
10 many do, partly because It u 4 part Of
modern sophisticated blu1, partly be-
cause they never realize that they are
doing 70.
First instructions usually given In
breaking up bodily tensions are, strangely
enough, to relax the neck.
Next comes the eyes.
It will be found, by q little practice,
that the back Of the neck tends to stay
frightened up, even when one is relaxing.
A conscious relaxation is necessary to
loosen it. If the relaxer will turn his at
tention to the legs, let US say, he will
discover unnecessary tension in them.
Then. If he turns back to his neck, he
will discover that its muscles have
tightened up again.
This Is particularly interesting, be-
cause 1t proves to any one that the body
Is tense far beyond any necessity, and
often when the victim least suspects It.
II care is taken, in reading in bed, to
relax the muscles, and at the same time
keep the printed page at the right dis
tance from the eyes, and in . proper
plane in relation to them, there should
be little II any harm result from the
practice.
It is so easy, however, to roll over, thus
distorting the plane, or to read with the
page too close, or too far away, or even
lopsided.
There are persons who cannot read. or
at least think they cannot, unless they
hold the page sideways, or, In some queer
cases, upside down.
Most readers have no such difhculties,
which are. after all. problems for spe-
cialists.
But to try to read with the head bent
forward as far as it will 60, and the
page held too close or too far away, Is
to court disaster.
This Is what is meant by reading in
bed being bad for the eyes.
4
If ordinary common sense Is used,
along with a little realization Of the
problem, there Is no reason why reading
in bed should not be what It plainly Is,
q wholesome, interesting and beneficial
act.
II ones idea is to read, rather than to
WOO slumber, 1t is best to put ones self
In a not too comfortable position.
This mostly means to sit as upright as
possible This also saves heavy volume
boring into the chest. Nothing takes
the fun out of reading 50 quickly and
completely. often without the cause be-
ing suspected.
There is one more point, brought in at
the last moment by an expert In this
great and gentle art.
Do not, he says, let the light shine on
anybody else's eyes.
This Is not only bad on those eyes, he
says, but has . peculiarly bad effect on
that disposition.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES 3. TRACEHELL.
Do you Ike to read In bed7

Do you Ike to read in bed7
Then don't give up the habit Just
because some one says It u harmful.
That Is an old-1ashioned idea.
To be strictly up to date, in this mat
ter, we must believe that the eyes are
self sufficient, needing no pamper1ng,
except In times Of actual disease.
Eyes need no blinders, man-made, to
protect them from the light; they have
protective devices enough of their own.
Eyes can read from any position, SO
long as the proper distance and relative
idea that one should not read on q
thousands daily prove the opposite.
The real danger Of reading in bed is
not harm to the eyes, but to the reading
determination.
This determination is thing in itself.
It becomes more and more necessary
with age, perhaps, but this Is dependent
upon the individual, Of course.
Some readers never lose their zest for
reading. Others do, but heroically try
to conceal it from themselves. They call
1t will power when they continue to read,
but 1t is really reading determination.
The comfort Of bed offers this deter
mination its greatest handicap.
The plain danger is that the reader
will fall asleep.
It Is not necessary that he be reading
what is commonly called dull book.
One must be careful. There are dull
Ial1 SvH hAI
The lure to close the eyes Is a powerful
one, scarcely to be resisted, because the
whole set-up is directed toward slumber.
A lifetime Of practice Is behind 1t. But,
more than that, centuries are behind It..
Sleep is something to be wooed, as the
old phrase has 1t. But whether 1t Is won
directly or indirectly, 1t Is blessed thing.
as the ancient mariner said.
Reading In bed remains about the best
insomnia cure there Is; that Is its chief
drawback, Is reading. The eyes need not
give the reader the least concern, unless
he is suffering from q bad cold. In which
case he ought not to read at all.
1t is not the bed which makes reading
harmful, but the relative position of the
eyes and the paper.
Once this is provided for, such reading
is no more harmful to the eyes than any
other. Indeed, it might be argued that
1t Is more restful, because the remainder
Of the body is at rest.
People who tense themselves, in order
to see, are IN the same danger as those
poor persons who 60 through life with
all their muscles held on edge, as 1t
were. Whole books have been written
on the necessity for relaxation. The idea
applies to the facial muscles. in par
ticular, including those which operate
the eyes.
While muscular action is necessary, in

The address of Ambassador Bullitt at
Bordeaux, in which he declared that
France and the United States were
united in peace and war, created a SEN
sation among French officialdom. It was
interpreted as a pledge that America,
once more, in the event Of world strife.
would be aligned with the democracies
against the relationships. The envoy
to Paris emphasized the sympathy felt
in America for the French people and
praised their common devotion to liberty,
democracy and peace.
Under ordinary conditions, the Bullitt
address would have created scarcely q
ripple In its professions Of friendship.
The occasion would have permitted the
customary diplomatic amenities and
graceful compliments deemed proper un-
der such circumstances. The tension
now gripping Europe through fear of
Hitler's designs toward Czechoslovakia
transformed and exaggerated the Am
bassadors remarks into q declaration Of
American foreign policy.
Bullitt said nothing that was untrue.
He knows that the American public is
aligned almost solidly In sympathy with
all those countries resisting the philoso-
ply Of Fascism and the totalitarian
state. The relationships of Germany,
Italy, Japan and others are equally well
informed Of our attitude. It Is apparent
that American aloofness would be almost
impossible in the the event of protracted
major warfare, and any hostilities involv-
ing the major powers probably would be
resolved into an endurance struggle in
which the greater resources Of the
World War allies should be the determin-
ing factor.
In view Of international filters, how
ever, 1t is questionable whether an Amer
ican Ambassador should have made these
remarks at this particular time. His
ofncial capacity makes him the spokes-
man for the State Department, which
would not be justified in going beyond
the restrictions Of the Neutrality Act,
futile as that might be under an acid
test. The United States may share Bull
ltt's enthusiasm and sentiment and still
question the propriety of his remarks.
