partisan administration would at
tempt to quiet cries of politics-in-
relief.
Many Republicans support the
Byrnes bill, but the solid congress
sional economy front may break
down under relief debate. Going
whole hog against federal supervi-
sion, Oregon's Sen. Charles L. Nc
Nary &c. o. P. minority leader)
wants WPA eliminated entirely be-
cause of serious Structural defects"
which inevitably produce periodic
scandals" His program: () Re
turn relief administration to the
states; (2) create bipartisan fed
eral boards to allocate funds; 60
create bipartisan state boards to
disburse relief money.
Though Senator Byrnes scoffed
mainly at the impossibility of obi
partisan" boards, both proposals
had one other major defect, namely,
financing. Senator McNary would
compel states to contribute not less
than Is per cent of funds spent with
in their borders. Senator Byrnes
would have states pay one-third. The
stumbling block is that the U. S. will
not cut its tax levies, yet without
such cuts the 48 states cannot raise
their levies to reassume relief costs
which the government began easing
from their shoulders in 1888. The
hoped-for solution, already under
discussion, calls for U. S. alloca-
tons based so per cent on popula-
ton and so per cent on unemploy-
ment, proportionately higher grants
going to 'sub-marginar' states with
less than average per capita in
come.
Science
In 1877 B. c., two Chinese astrono-
mers who reported an eclipse were
beheaded for being drunk. Four
hundred years earlier an eclipse
scared the Modes and Persians into
ending their five-year war. No such
consequences resulted one mid
April day when the sun, moon and
earth staged similar phenomenon.
Passing in front of the sun as
astronomists predicted, the moon
eclipsed from one-third to three
fourths of the fiery ball in a show
visible throughout most of the U. S.,
much of Europe and eastern Russia.
Asia
Discouraging to a disguised jap
anese visitor would be modern
Chunking, new headquarters for
westward-driven China where news
men have been shown for the first
time how crafty Gen. Chang Kali
shek is sinking the industrial roots
of new nation, while Nippon wres-
ties with war-wrecked coastal dis
tricts.
Projects include $4,000, 900 iron
and steel works which far-sighted
Chang began building early last
fall, where a 30-ton blast furnace,
a lotion open hearth and a 10-inch
rolling mill will soon be in opera
ton. Nearby, under American
trained directors, are two Chinese
built electric furnaces making ship
anchors, rails and smaller steel
items.
Another important project is
vegetable oil cracking plant where
experimental production will soon
start on artificial gasoline refined
from oil comparable to high grade
motor oils. At other sites in Chung
kings vast new industrial district
reporters saw silk, cotton and cleo
trio plants, while several thousand
workmen were laboring over new
factories.

their hostile, jointly prepared an
swers, the Rome-Berlin axis infer
entially and involuntarily reminded
the world that Europe's two dicta-
tors are guilty of aggression, more
over will be responsible for the war
Europe soon expects.
Best anti-Roosevelt argument of
isolationists is that Italy and Ger
many have already broken so many
agreements that the Presidents
dream of 10-year peace "guaran-
tee" is rather futile. Second best
argument is that the note merely
gave impetus to Britain's warlike
Stop Hitler front, drawing France,
Russia and England closer to a mu-
tual defense pact, which is probably
inspired by the unspoken hope that
the u. S. is willing to join the party
if need arises. Third argument is
that Axis chiefs may grow hostile
and seek revenge by discrediting
democracieS via a new territorial
grab, such as Danzig, which Britain
and France have already agreed not
to protest. Since such renewed bel
lgerence would be direct slap at
President Roosevelt, isolationists
still see hope for their cause.
Refugees
Patterned after Red Cross and
Salvation Army, the Friends Service
committee was formed in Phila-
delphia during the World war by
Quakers. An earlier Philadelphia
Quaker was Joseph Scattergood,
who in 1880 built Quaker prepara-
tory school at West Branch, Iowa.
Closed in 1881 for want of funds,
Scattergood school reopens May l
for another sort of preparatory
work. Its main building renovated,
its caretaker's home turned into a
dormitory, the institution will house
40 to so refugees who can spend a
maximum of 80 days there getting
bearings for a new life in the U. S.
Then they will shift for themselves,
making way for new arrivals.
Business
A Republican, Edward J. Noble
built his confectionery business into
a mint called Life Savers before
President Roosevelt named him
chief of the civil aeronautics author
ity. Because he represents bust
ness, also because he believes-un-
like many businessmen-that U. S.
industry can move forward under
current governmental regulations,
Mr.. Noble was too good a friend to
be left in the non-controversial field
of aeronautics. Result: He has been
named assistant to Harry L. Hop
kins, new commerce department
chief who is conscientiously trying
to make that additionally dead-end
office into vital aid to U. S. bust
ness.
But Harry Hopkins is admittedly
trying to sell the New Deal to bust
ness Though not without carefully
removing obvious stumbling blocks)
and he may have his eye on the 1910
presidential campaign. Hence Mr..
Noble makes a good 'front man."
and now the front man is himself
looking for front men.
At his first press conference in
the new job, Mr.. Noble gave U. S.
newspapers want-ad for patriotic,

First, boleros are youthful. Then, they are as becoming to the mature figure as 10 the young and slender one. In addition, they are cool be- cause they do not hug the figure yet they do add just the right amount of protection on sharp spring days or summer evenings.
 For the slim figure, Molyneux's bolero suit of navy wool is charm ing. The short, straight bolero is heavily embroidered in front in white intermingled with silver, re- peated on the cuffs.
 The skirt is slim and semi-cir- cular, with the new built-up waist line, and the blouse is of heavy crepe, toning in with the embroid- cry.
 Combining the essence of prac- tically with elegance is bolero suit shown by Amy Blatt, the hand- knitting wizard. Her handmade suits are so perfect that it is diff cult to tell them from the fabrics they so often imitate-tweeds, chev- iots and others.
 The Blatt suit is fashioned of lustrous raw silk from Indo-C China, in a rich brown flecked with red
 and white. The silk is knitted into chevron-like effect, the short bolero just allowing a glimpse of a trim cherry red silk blouse with tiny sleeves. This type of thing is the answer to all the problems which sometimes or other beset the travel CT.
 In quite another category, but still typifying the seasons trend is Chaneps lace bolero suit. Heavy coffee -colored lace is made up into a neat, tailored skirt, slightly cir cular at the hem, and short bolero both worked on a foundation of matching georgette for extra sup port and body. A simple, center fastened blouse of the georgette is completed by soft sash tying on one side.

 How State Medicine Would Work
 In your column, think, you had statement that the ambulant (injection) treatment of hernia is now employed in 90 per cent of all indudstrial cases in one State.

Fresh as a spring day-this stun- ming slip cover style transforms your wintry- looking chair. And it costs little, for you easily make it your self.
 Smart to combine a striped fabric with a plain one. Pretty and long wearing is a closely woven cotton in a woodsy green striped in off-White and it combines well with plain fabric of the same shade of green. Use trim bound seams, neW-style straight flounce with kick pleat" at each corner.
 To tailor the cover profession ally, smooth the fabric down back and over seat, right side up for bound seams. Anchor with pins along top and sides. Between seat and back allow 4 inches for tuck in. Cut along pins, leaving l 1-2 inches for seams.
 In the same way pin and cut arm fronts cut paper patterns.
 Now for the basting, trying on and stitching. The smart flounce is the last step-and you make it cas- ily from straight piece.

 A famous Fifth Avenue salon ad- vises its clientele to spend the next few weeks eliminating the lines that winter left in the danger zones the area around the mouth, the spot between the brows just above the nose, around the eyes and at the inner sides of the cheeks near the nose. In other words, the places where lines are most likely to deVe- lop during winter months.
 If you have line lines which you know very well you didn't have last fall, by all means decide to go in for a series of home facials. Get a jar of rich night cream and massage plenty of it into the face and throat before going to bed.
 First, wash face and neck thor oughly. Then apply cream with upward and outward strokes. Work on your throat, using finger pat ting skin until much of the cream has been absorbed.
 Now gently grasp in side corners of eyebrows with forefingers and thumbs, then pinch outward to outer tops of brows. Using circular motions, massage cream into the skin around eyes. Begin at inside corners, working around and around so that lids, puffs underneath and lines at corners are stimulated and oiled.
 Soften Expression" Lines
 Pinch upward from corners of mouth to cheeckbones at sides of nose. This part of the treatment tends to eliminate the expression lines which begin at sides of the nose and slope downward to cor- ners of the mouth. Also, pinch out ward to temples as well as straight upward from corners.
 To eliminate fullness at jawline, begin at center Of chin and pinch outward along jawbone. Repeat eight times.
 Remember, of course, that all strokes and any manipulation of the skin in home facial must be gentle. Don't pinch or pat vigor- ously. You can smooth away lines, but you cannot slap them away without doing more harm than good.

PREyENTION OF HERNIA

Beware of the physician or spe- cialist who proposes to hospitalize you for removal of tonsils, operation on hernia, removal of herorrhoids, and then, when you mention the diathermy method of extirpating tonsils, or the injection or ambu- lant method of treating hernia or the injection treatment of piles, methods which do not require any loss of time from your regular work or any confinement to hospital or bed, says oh, yes, of course, if you prefer that method he can treat you that way. That, my friends, is a pretty good indication that the doc tor is not very skilled in any method. I find that four out of five conn plaints of unsatisfactory results from these modern methods come from patients who have accepted the crude treatment of that type of doctor.
 If doctor really knows his busi- ness, if he has really mastered the difficult technique of diathermy (electro-coagulation) of the tonsils or injection treatment of hernia or hemorrhoids, he will advise the method most suitable for his patient. Only when the patient refuses to take the doctors advice does the qualified physician consent to the alternative method. Conceivably it may be toss up which method to choose in some circumstances, but in any case it is strictly a question for the doctor in the individual cir- cumstance to decide which methad he would prefer if he were in the patients place.
 Fifteen years ago few doctors of standing would admit that injection treatment was safe or efIicacious for hernia. Twenty years ago I branded such treatment as sheer quackery, in this column. Ten years ago many doctors were still condemning ir- jection treatment as dangerous and worthless, although the very lan- guage of their blasts against it be- trayed their ignorance of the meth cd. Even five years ago there were still echoes of that same spirit re- verberating in the oracle columns and editorial pages of that organ of medical intolerance, the Journal of the A. M. A. under the control of the omniscient, but inexperienced, Dr. Fishbein.
 Today the ambulant or injection treatment of hernia is recognized as a valuable method in large share of cases, and well informed patients elect this method because CD it requires no disqualification. (2) no anesthesia, (3 no absence from usual work, (4 no loss of pay for several weeks. In skilled hands the per cent of cases in which re- currence of hernia follows the injec- ton treatment is no greater than the per cent of occurrences follow ing the radical operation for hernia in skilled hands.
 A certain number of hernia cases are cured eventually by simple sup port with a carefully adapted truss or other support. Such treatment is indeed standard for umbilical her. mia in infants, but proper support
