These executives and their families
have been the good spenders. II this group
must now slash their standard of living, it
means even less trade and fewer jobs. No
WPA or government relief program has
vet been devised to help the investor, execu-
tive or employer group. In short, an en-
tirelv new problem is developing today IN
connection with unemployment. The en-
ployer class is now suffering with all
others. Since they are the ones who must
provide the jobs, the time has now come
for action.
If we are to continue our system OF
priyate ownership, there must be radical
changes in the attitude of the government,
labor leaders, and even preachers toward
EMPLOYERS Unless the state is to take over
all industry and be responsible for giving
everybody a Job, then it is essential that 1t
help, rather than hinder, employers When
there is a shortage of work, the need IS Tor
more employers. This is the simple and
Only answer to unemployment.
We are, therefore, facing this situa-
ton: Either we must change our American
system of government and turn to state
capitalism (Which ultimately develops INTO
Fascism) or else we must change our atti-
tude toward employers, builders and IN
yestors. We have played at this thing too
long. Now that all groups are suffering, W., we
can delay the choice no longer When
scores of well-paid executives are forced to
sell their homes, slash their standard OF llv-
ing. and return to manual day labor, then
we are smack up against problem which
has not yet occurred during the depression
MUST ENCOURAGE EMPLOYERS
If the great need today is for more en-
plovers. we must encourage employers. The
following are three ways this can be done:
% Taxes can and must be lowered. |
refer to city taxes, state taxes, federal
taxes, and the other hundred and one taxes
now inflicted upon employers. This, more
over, is not an appeal for the idle rich. AS

EMPLOYERS HARD HIT

Eight years ago the distress c ses
were among the mechanics and clerks. n oW
they are among the executives and employ
ers. Recently was on duty at the open
Door" session. | had five callers Three
of my five callers were among the executive
class who ten years ago were receiving sal
aries in excess of $4,000 year and two
were employers! This is not only new de-
velonment in the unemployment situation,
but it is vitally important to every manu-
facturer and merchant.

More Jobs Depend on More Emp p|oyers Says Babson

far as am concerned, Roosevelt can put a
90 per cent tax on the 'play boys" am
asking for lower taxes on homes business
blocks, and factories. No matter how much
money the federal government is willing to
loan for new houses, building will not in
crease until taxes are reduced. 1t is the
taxes which you must pay on your home
and on the addition to your plant that hold
back building Merely lowering the interest
rate on mortgages will not encourage you
to build a new house if your taxes are going
to increase more than what you save on
mortgage interest!
(2) Labor must let up OH employers
for awhile. | believe in collective bargain
ing. The wage workers of the corporation
have as much right to combine and nego-
tiate through some person OF their own
choosing as have the stockholders. When
labor leaders, however, think that they
must get little more each year for their
members in order to hold their jobs and col
lect their Dues it is very dangerous. Wage
workers should realize that their leaders
NAV serve them better at times by urging
reduction in wages OF an increase IN hours.
The current theory ABOUT nOuIS Is WioiS.
Reducing hours ultimatel ly increases prices
so that the net result is loss in the number
of Jobs Only as more is produced, is there
more to divide.
CD Restriction and regulation as to
building operations and other new plans OF
EMPLOYERS should be temporarily lifted.
Every kind of handicap today is placed
upon man who wishes to build a new fac
torv or store or even to put an addition on
his plant. | recently wished to have new
toilet put in my building and was obliged to
consult four different government officials
to make this simple improvement. Employ
ers must now secure city permits, state
permits, labor union permits, fire permits,
smoking permits, and various other kinds
of permits before they can spend dollar !

POLES

Combining the punch of "The Crowd Roars" with the vigorous outdoor drama of "The Bad Man of Birthstone, Stand Up and Fight, co-starring Robert Taylor and Wallace Beery for the first time, comes to the screen as one of the fastest action stories eyer to be filmed. It opened this afternoon at the Loew-Poli theater.
 Unique in that it combines au- thentic historical background of a period and locale hitherto un- touched in motion pictures, with the sort of rapid-fire pace that made the Westerns of silent days so perennially popular, the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer picture seems like ly to be the forerunner of a cycle of stories of the kind. so sure is it's hold on audiences who demand mo- tion above all in their motion pie lures.
 Taylor's role of the bankrupt young Maryland aristocrat shang- haied into going to work for the stagecoach line is happy choice, for it gives him an opportunity to combine his erStwhile romantic ap- peal with the type of characterize ton which won him laurels in "The Crowd Roars." Beery's role of the ard-boiled, often interruptions manager of the Bullet Line is an- other natural, typical Beery part played to the hilat and comparable with any of his finest work.
 For Florence Rice, the feminine lead is sure augury of great suc- cess to come, for she handles this, her first major assignment, with a sure touch and appealing charm. Never has she been photographed to greater advantage than in the hoopskirts and bonnets of the 1850's.
 Comedienne Helen Broderick is at her sardonic best, Charles Bickford and Barton McLane are as villain ous as could be wished of heavy. Clinton Rosemond embodies all the pathos of the Negro slave, and Charley Grapewin, John Qualen, Claudia Morgan, Robert Gleckler and Jonathan Hale all lend memor- able support in 1939s first great dramatic smash.
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is refreshing comedy en- titled, Next Time I Marry with Lucille Ball and James Ellison in the leading roles.
 Attend the Loew Poli theater every Wednesday evening, and en- joy the outstanding stage presenta- tions of headline Broadway vaude- vile.

WOMAN,S REALM
Modern Menus
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX (NEA Service Staff Writer)

What goes into pie crust is only half the story. Good pastry is need- ed to bring the tale to flaky end.
 Pastry tricks are easy. Be gentle and be delicate in handling the dough, use only little flour on rolling board and put a stockinet covering on rolling pin. This will prevent sticking. Use very little water. If pastry cracks in rolling, use fingers to pinch together again. Make slits in top crust so the steam can escape.
 Do you understand how short ening reacts with the other in- gradients? To be an expert, you must. Here's the story.
 In making pastry, the fat is cut into the flour and the flour par ticles are covered by films of fat. Not all the fat is taken up nor all the flour particles covered by fat. These uncovered flour particles ab- sorb the water which is added after the fat is cut in. The gluten thus formed holds the mixture together.
 During mixing, some air is incor- porated. When the pastry is rolled out, the fat which has not been taken up by the flour particles is flattened out.
 Why Dough Raises
 In baking, the fat melts and is taken up in part by the gluten and other constituents of the flour. The air expands and this, together with the steam generated, rasies the dough.
 Thus it is that pastry which is both tender and flaky is, made. Tenderness results when most of the particles of flour are separated by fat and fakiness is due to the layers of unabsorbed fat. This is possible only with fat which is a mixture of liquid and solid fats in the proper proportions.
 Good manipulation is necessary with even the best shortening agent, or a poor pastry will result. Too much handling tends to develop excessive amounts of gluten and the pastry will be tough. Flakiness may or may not be affected by decrease in tenderness.
 Trapped Air Toughens Dough
 If the fat is worked so thorough ly into flour that there are no un- absorbed particles of fat, there will be decrease ill flakiness. With the development of much gluten in pas try, the enclosed air has no way of escape and it will expand in bak- ing and raise the gluten which hardens and encloses the air, mak- ing the pastry flaky but not tender.
 Too much water in pastry makes a dough which is difficult to roll and poor pastry may result unless the cook possesses considerable technique.

 Yourself

 Perfect grooming should start with the feet-not with the head as apparently so many think.
 Unless your feet are comfortable, you won't stand and walk in the queenly but youthful fashion which sets your clothes and figure of to best advantage. And a great deal of the charm of the loveliest coiffure, the smoothest skin and the smart est outfit is lost if their wearer's shoes are shapeless or dusty or tied with bedraggled ribbons.
 Your shoes. ought to fit, properly, of course. Have your feet measured carefully each time you go to choose a new pair and walk around the shop in them for several minutes before you make a final decision. They should allow adequate space for all of your toes to lie. flat and they ought to be snug at the back. Otherwise they'll slide up> and down and wear out your stockings.
 If possible, have pair of shoe- OlIdHCu UkCCo 1OA CfCAy PUAA VA Aoy. time shoes you own, and always in- sert a pair of trees as soon as you take off your shoes. Put trees in evening slippers the moment they are removed. Then, next morning, remove the trees, stuff the toes of the slippers with tissue paper and wrap them in black tissue paper be- fore putting them away. If wrapped in black tissue and kept in @ box, metallic slippers won't tarnish quickly.
 Keep a small wire suede brush, a regular shoe brush, box of polish and an extra pair of ties handy. Make it a rule never to put on shoes which haven't been brushed or pol ished. Press ribbon ties often and substitute new pair as soon as the old ones begin to show signs of wear. And get new leather lifts as often as necessary.

RAISING A FAMILY
There's No Place Like Home For Training Child
By Olive Roberts Ba iton

ate physical habits-are difficult to diagnose. Then the cause may lead to deficiency in the child him. self. Too bad.
 Again, all children reflect the type of associations they have. The overly -humored child may lose the desire to try for stand ard. Conversely. the driven one or the abused child loses ambition to do his best.
 And fear, the most unfortunate part of life, is always there to make an end of happiness. There are too many fears to enumerate. Some are physical, many are men, tai. Mental fears are the worst of al. The problem child re- leased from dread often becomes the finest kind of youngster.
 Add to all this the fact that natures differ most astonishingly. One child in a family may be strong and forceful with enough confidence to escape any amount of suffering. He will be little ruthless, perhaps, but not by cal- culation. He simply is able to take care of himself and turn away the digs and smarts of daily life. He will be fortnight, given to short temper at times, but never sulky.
 His brother or sister, on the other hand, may be extremely sensitive and suffer from imagin- ary hurts or be completely crush ed by real ones. This one cannot stand criticism nearly so well, and needs understanding, as far as it is possible to understand him.
 Most People Sensitive
 Most people are mixtures, but l think that the majority are super sensitive. Normal, happy, take and-give living without extremes of excitement is best for this type.
 Children young and old have to learn how to live and get the best out of life. This takes guidance, and nearly all children get it. The mother who reminds her, children, explains why they should do their best, listens patiently to their prob lens, and teaches them orderliness and courtesy, is training her chil- dren admirably.
 She really needs no text book with big words. Fun, happiness, love, a feeling of security, and gradual training in duty and re- sponsibility; this is the best back ground child could have. And I should add that congeniality be- tween parents makes the best basis for all training.
 We reap largely what we SOW. The adolescent will reflect in most cases, the home life and ex- perience of his earlier years.

Bing Crosby arrived in town yes. terday in his latest offering "Pari: Honeymoon" which was enthusias. tically greeted by capacity audiences attending the Warner Bros. State theater.
 This picture is by far one of the finest motion pictures in which the star has thus far appeared.
 Bing does a straight acting jot in the picture, without depending upon his lyric genius too much, al- though he does sing some swell new tunes which thoroughly delighted audiences attending the opening performances.
 Supporting the favorite croonel is @ grand cast of veteran per- formers namely Shirley Ross and Franciska Gaal in the feminine leads: Akim Tamiroff and Ben Blue in the leading comedy roles and Edward Everett Horton who delivers his usually highly satisfactory per- formance as a gentleman's gentle man. .e
 Paris Honeymoon" is the gay story of young American million aire, played by Bing, who is just about to get married to Shirley Ross when he discovers that there's 8 little matter of a divorce which Miss Ross forgot to take care of To expedite things, he goth to Paris and then to . Balkan state known as "Pushtalnick" where Akim Tam iroff is everything from Mayor to slot machine operator and many things between. "Pushtalnick' h also the home of the lovely little peasant girl, Manya, played by Miss Gaal.
 The comedy in Paris Honey moon is mainly concerned with Bing's efforts to free himself from Miss Ross-from whom he doesn't want to be free-and his efforts to win Miss Gaal-whom he doesn't want to win at all.
 New hit tunes heard throughout UIic COliiSC O1 IllC lAllli arc 1Ou IE o Sweet Little Headache" T Have Eyes" 'The Funny Old Hills and novelty called "Joobalai.' Bing sings all of them as only he can witt generous assist from Shirley Ross

Every player knows that the pur- pose of flnesse is to gain trick by taking advantage of the hoped for favorable location Of an adverse honor. The mere fact however, that trick may be gained by finesse Is not sufficient reason for taking one whenever the opportunity of fers. Take an example from recent rubber game at the Laurelton Bridge Club in New York.
 South won the first trick with the ace of clubs, led a low heart and played the queen from his own hand. The blank king won, and South ruffed the club return.

Tough luck" he larnented, every thing broke badly"
 But it was his analysis that was faulty. He saw that he could not avoid losing spade and diamond. Hence, his problem narrowed down to losing not more than one trump trick.
 With his holding, the first trump play should have been the ace. If West held both the king and jack with a guard, two trump tricks must be given up. With any other location of the trumps, four is easily made, and with the d ropping of trump king on the ace, five could have been made. The moral is, don't be greedy.
