about earning money to pay the

Julia who had gone weeping to
her parents. She was the only

habit of lifetime was hard to

job is a job, she said, and a chance
to earn money more important

bandaged foot, stuck out at an
angle from his seat in the wait

who doesn't reserve space in ad-
vance doesn't reserve a plane
seat" he told himself as he saw
the California-bound plane sail
away into the darkness. All the
time tables warned about advance
reservations.
Travelling on a later plane
brought Edgar to Glendale late in
the afternoon. The company car
that met him went directly to the
home office building where the
directors were still in session.
They're little angry because you
didn't get here this morning, !"
Edgar's guide said in answer to
his appeals for a few minutes in
which to change his suit, get a
shave. Air travel doesn't get one
dusty, but a heavy black beard can
grow quite a bit in eighteen hours
and Edga"'s suit gave full evidence
he had slept in his plane seat.

PALLOTTI UPHOLDS
 DRUGGISTS CLAIM
Sale of Certain Drugs Without Prescriptions
 Held Legal

Controversy over the legality oi selling derivatives of barbiturie acid without physicians' prescriptions af' ter Jan. was settled yesterday by Attorney General Francis A. Pallotti who ruled the sales will be permis- sable without prescriptions.
 The Attorney-gener stated, how ever, that barbituric acid and It's derivatives, widely used in sedatiyes, must be properly labeled "Warning May Be Habit Forming" before being dispensed.
 The ruling was contrary to the opinion held by Dairy and Food Commissioner Edwin c. Woodward who, however, was judged correct in stating that c number of other durgs may not be sold without prescrip- tions beginning Jan. These drugs include amidopyrine, cinchopheny dinitrophenol, sulfanilamide, and their derivatives.
 Druggists throughout the state had protested the Woodward opinion that barbituric acid and it's deriva- tives could not be sold without pre- scriptions. Many of them claimed their business would be ruined Il the order went into effect.

While Avila Camacho has the

not yet the official candidate of the

EASEMENTS, AND OTHER
QUARTERS

The Charity Organization Society
of New York is circulating booklet
with the startling title "They Live
Underground" They declare that at
least 25,O00 New Workers live be-
low ground level, in easements, and
that 10000 of these are children.
Anyone has seen Easements in sky
scrapers which are clean, furnished
air by artificial ventilation, and thor
oughly healthful-though monoto-
nous. But these are mainly the 5000
cellars in "old law" tenements, which
are used as apartments and the So
ciety wants to stop it.
Of course it should be stopped. But
somehow, this calls to mind an ar
ticle that appeared in the dollar-a-
number magazine Fortune 10 years
ago, and was called "Croesus's Thirty
Acres" And it told how, in the elite
part of town, it was impossible to
live for less than $4,000 a year; that
many families paid as much for rent
alone; that one lady had more than
a million dollars worth of Oriental
rugs in her fiat, and raised her own
mushrooms which cost more than
their weight in gold.
The Charity Organization Society
might take its booklet to Croesus's
Thirty Acres. They might get some
enlightenment from the contrast.

everyone hopes for some gain.

name will put certain pressure on
the head of it. A good idea but
Ickes didn't need that pressure.
Since Fascism and Nazism started
to show the world, the labor unions of
two nations have been wiped out,
Jews within reach have been perse-
cuted savagely, Ethiopia conquered,
China half oyerrun, Czechoslovakia
despoiled, and now Spain subdued.

UNDUE DETERMINATIONS"

The House Committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce is TAX
ing as sort of working model the
railroad bill approved by the Presi-
dents committee of six; three rail-
road officials and three railroad labor
leaders. Without going into the de-
tails of the measure, the preamble to
1t contains one clause that no good
railroad bill can do without, and one
microscope. Both state purposes of
the bill. One says:
'To encourage fair wages and
equitable working conditions estab-
lished through collective bargaining" :"
This is necessary still, though it
has been the rule of railroads for
nearly II years, and has almost abol-
ished strikes. The other clause SAYS:
Maintenance of reasonable charges
&. without UNJUST discrimina-
tions, UNDUE preferences and ad-
vantages, or UNFAIR AND DE-
STRUCTIVE competitive practices"
Some of the best brains of the
United States have been trying for
rs years to get determinations, pref
erences and advantages in railroad
rates that were NOT unjust, undue,
unfair and destructive; and no one
has succeeded yet. 1t is as impos-
sible as to have arbitrary discrim-
nations in wage rates that are fair.
Wage earners of all sorts and grades

The best estimates are that need
less illness costs the American people
at least $10,000,000,000 a year. En-
forced idleness and unavoidable weak
ness caused by unnecessary disease
are the chief items in this gigantic
bill; though not the only ones. And
the Wagner National Health Act,
just introduced, is a sober, thought
full, not at all hasty effort to deal
with this appalling waste.
1t will go through in some form;
that is a perfectly safe wager. No
change in our national attitude in
many years is more striking than our
rising resentment at unnecessary
sickness and death.
No small part of this change is
due to woman, DR.. Jessamine Whit
ney, who, with competent staff fur
nished by an insurance company,
analyzed the sickness and mortality
figures of 10 states. An astonishing
proportion of our people now recog-
nize poverty as the deadliest of all
diseases; and the newest Wagner bill
how many times have we used those
words in the last 10 years ?-is one
statesmanlike recognition of that
fact.

'OHIO CONCERNED

Two Cases Which Affect State Are

Washington, D. C.-Two cases be-
fore the Federal Alcohol Administra-
tion this past week had direct rela-
tions with the liquor industry in Ohio.
Orders instituting suspension pro-
ceedings were issued against the rec
tifers and importers basic permits
held by Greenbros, Inc, 2001 Gilbert
Avenue, Cincinnati, 0. The orders
charged the permittees with violating
the conditions of the basic permits
by falsifications of records showing
receipts and disposals of distilled
spirits, required to be filed with the
alcohol tax unit of the Treasury De-
partment, in accordance with Section
1918 of the revised statutes of the
United States.
The other case involved the Blair
Distilling Company, st. Francis, Ma
rion County, KY. The company's per-
nit was suspended for 20 days be-
ginning on February IL and expiring
March 10. The order was based on
charges that this concern violated
the provisions of the Twenty-first
Amendment by transporting or i'm
porting distilled spirits into the state
of Ohio for delivery or use therein
contrary to state law and by making
false entries in records required to
be kept by distillers.
