RADIANT LIVING
"Artificially Colored"
By Rev. C. M. Griffith
Pastor Methodist Church
Ridgely, Md.


It was at fruitstand that noticed
it first. It was on some small sized
oranges. In small letters, hardly
noticeable, were two words, Artificial
ly Colored."
Of course this was not the first time
I had seen these words. But l had
never noticed them on oranges before.
Small understood oranges, picked
green and soaked in chemicals to give
them sufficient lure to sell! Thus
man would outstrip the slow pace of
nature.
There is so much artificial color in
life!
"I'm so glad to see you'll" purred the
hostess to her friend, as she welcomed
her at the front door. But what she
was really thinking was: II don't see
why you had to show up just now!"
A welcome, artificially colored!
And as her caller arose to leave, the
hostess exclaimed: ooh, don't be in a
hurry, isn't time to go yeti" But all
during the visit she was saying to
herself: 81 don't see why you have to
stay all afternoon!"
Painted lips and painted cheeks
may also have their lure. But when
artificiality is discovered, its false
ness no longer attracts but repels. The
color remains, but the lure is gone.
All artificiality is mask Of insin-
certify, a false front, behind which
hides the immature, the deficient, the

MOTORCAR'S DEBT
TO THE CHEMIST

A section Of the American Chemi-
cal Society served as the sounding
! board for a dramatic story of the
! chemists role in the development OF
the automobile when T. A. Boyd oI
the research department OF General
Motors told how the retail price OF
cars waslowered between 1925 and
1887 on an average Of $500 per We
hicle. thus saving the purchaser 30
per cent at the same time he was
| getting bigger and a better auto
mobile.
Tires are one of the chemist 3
contributions. Charles Goodyear
started his experiments with rubber
by mixing it with sulphur and then
heating the mixture which changed
gum elastic from a useless stuff, iII-
to one of the most useful materials
in the world The research chemist
pointed out that each car now has
$50 or more parts OF rubber and
iLat 80 Per cent of all rubber goes
intn automobiles.
The chemist and metallurgist have
eliminated waste in the iron and
steel industry. and encouraged the
development of alloy steels as ma
terials of construction. The mater
ials with which cars are being fin
ished nowadays are almost entirely
synthetic chemical products, thereby
reducing the time needed to paint a
car body from the four to nine days
formerly required to but a few
hours.
Citing the chemists gift in the
matter of the investigation Of petro-
leum, back in 1855. and the subse-
quent developments in the refining
of gasoline. Mr.. Boyd explained that
while all these improvements have
been yielding more and better gaso-
line. the retail price Of gasoline. ex-
elusive of taxes. has gone down
steadily.
Every element of the motorcar.
except the few wooden pieces and
possibly the water in the radiator. is
either a chemical or metallurgical
product. or else 1t has chemistry in
volved in its manufacture.
It is even a chemical reaction.
namely. the burning Of gasoline and
air. which makes the automobile CO.
But other factors mentioned by Mr.
Boyd as important. include safety
glass. aluminium. brass. bronze. bear
ing metals. spark plugs and other
items. He found the useful infor-
nation that one fourth of all the in
dustrial research laboratories in the
country are maintained either by the
automobile industry itself or by the
makers of materials used in motor
cars.

THE ACID TEST

As has been pointed out by at leas
one prominent economist, the tern
emergency spending" has beer
abandoned Government spending or
a gigantic, ever increasing scale i.
rapidly coming to be accepted as a
permanent necessity. So-called
emergency" bureaus have become
an integral part of governmental
machinery. This is significant.
The most serious attempts to ecc-
nomize have been drowned out with
the cry of emergency" Now the
sole issue is spending for spending's
sake versus economy The nation is
face to face with the acid test of na-
tional character For a decade it's
people have permitted their govern
ment to live far beyond income. For
ten years government expenditures
have risen steadily. From 1892 to
1888 alone the net increase in tho
national debt tctals more than %
billion dollars.
The pinch Of squaring accounts
will be felt in every corner of the
land. Will the people he equal TO
the task. after ten-year spree The
answer to that question lies with
some l30-Odd million individuals
from Maine to California.

farm, road or factory machinery
hitherto purchased from the United
States?"
There's a snapper on the above
question and the answer will be in
teresting to American news readers.
1t has been perfectly obvious for
sometime that Congress has been
preparing to blow the lid off the
Mexican situation. This has been
indicated by several sizzling speech
es in the Senate and House that have
dipped into the question of huge sill
yer purchases from Mexico, that
have furnished important revenue to
that country while it has been wag-
ing an economic war against the
United States.
Impatience exists in Congress ov-
er statistical information showing
that while Mexico has been commit
ting grand larceny with American
owned properties that it has in
creased the volume of barter and
exchange trade with Nazi Germany
n1ty per cent, while the volume of
trade with the United States has de-
creased in the same amount-all
since the oil appropriations in
March, 1898.
The report in the public press
that representative of American oil
companies are making attempts to
deal directly with the American Off
cials in their own country drew
statement from President Cardenas
that Mexico would stand firm in its
position that the whole question is
internal"
Secretary of State Hull recently
declared in a public address that the
United States would protect Ameri-
can citizens and their property in

CONGRESS TACKLES
MEXICAN PROBLEMS

Congress has made two efforts
recently to obtain all the facts re-
garding the Mexican tangle. In a
resolution by Hamilton Fish, Jr., OF
New York State. ranking minority
member of the House Foreign AT
fairs Committee, the Secretary Of
State was asked for definite state
ment to clear up Observation-Disclosures
that are regarded as vital to the
peace and maintenance of the Good
Neighbor policy among the demo
cracies of our hemisphere.
The previous effort in the same di-
rection was resolution by Repre-
sentative Martin J. Kennedy, of New
York, and following word from Sec
retary of State Hull to the House
Committee that some of the informa-
tion should not be made public. it
was laid aside for future cOnsidera-
tion. Representative Fish qualified
the Kennedy request by asking for
all the facts compatible with the
public interest"
However. there is nothing very
indefinite about Mr.. Fish's resolution
which asks for available facts about
appropriated farms since March 4,
1888. and for information from the
date of the beginning of the New
Deal Administration about further
appropriations by Mexico of Ameri-
can-Owned factories. mills. mines,
and oil properties
What information. if any. is in
the possession of the State Depart
ment." asks the resolution regard
ing a report that oil seized from
American properties was hartered by
the Mexican government for German

foreign countries. Evidently Presi-
dent Cardenas does not believe in
that doctrine. The growing animos-
ity due to the confiscation of Amer
ican property in Mexico is extending
into all parts of Latin-AmeFiea and
to the credit Of most of those Good
Neighbors they are expecting the
United States to take a firm hand
regarding Mexico's banditry and
diplomatic evasiveness.

PREPAREDNESS DEBATE

The armament debate has become
rather bitter on Capitol Hill in
Washington, as supporters of the

the Administrations foreign policy.
But despite the two-sided issue it
seems certain that the national de-
fense program will go through. with
enormous appropriations that are
intended to serve as notice to the
dictator governments of Europe that
the United States is ready for any
emergency, and will not stand for

Place for the Kids to Play

Probably there is not one city in the country which has enough playgrounds and play space for children. Perhaps there is enough such space in Radburn, the specially designed 'motor-age" city in New Jersey, or in Greenbelt, Md, where town has been designed with just such ends in view But generally speaking, no large city has enough play space for children, and not many smaller cities. Admitting the fact, the usual American reaction is to Shrug shoulder, remark, Why doesn't the city provide more parks? Broke, I suppose" and let it go at that.
 Not much of the old rugged individ- ualism spirit there! Something can be done about it, done without the aid of the city park department, done without a WPA project, done without anything but the determination of group of parents that they will themselves make safe place for their children to play. Any three or four adjoining households where there are children can throw their back yards together, tear down the fences, and create common playground. The saws, and the mothers can take turns watching over the plot for a couple of hours day each. Other families nearby, but whose back yards do not adjoin the plot chosen, can bear a approximately larger share of the equipment cost and the supervision, to offset the sacrifice of gardens and lawns by those whose yards are used.
 Wise landlords usually don't object. One said, What if they do use up the grass in the back yards? It just means that they'll stay off the grass in the front" The kids will grow up. Time enough then to set the yards back into grass and gardens. Infinite variations on this plan can be tried according to intent on keeping the kids off the streets will not feel that the cost in energy, ini- tiative, and trouble was too high.

that medical services will be available along lines of hospital care, depends entirely on activity in the medical pro fession where, naturally, the service cor porations must originate. We don't agree with the claim of one legislator, who op- posed the measure, that the law provides doctors merely with good collection agency. That fails to describe the pur- pose of the plan completely.
 By a coincidence the New Jersey Medi- cal Society has just taken somewhat similar step and at the same time ex- pressed criticism of the Wagner national health bill. In New Jersey the state society is forming non-profit corpora tion to provide medical services to mem bers. Voluntary subscriptions will be received, possibly to be about four cents per day per individual. Choice of physi- clan is also granted the subscriber and his fees come from the corporation. Newark has been selected as the experi- ment field and after years trial, if Suc- cessful, will be extended throughout the state.
 With complete medical cooperation throughout Connecticut the proposed service corporation would seem to obvi- ate any necessity of the federal govern ment subsidizing states with grants for health activities.

Society Smugglers

If there is one crime for which it is hard, very hard, to find vestige of an excuse, it is the smuggling into the coun- try of luxury goods by social-register travellers who have no objection to laying out hundreds and thousands of dollars abroad for dresses and jewelry, but who are willing to take desperate chances on avoiding the payment of taxes on them in the form of duty. Many American patriots in the days just before the Rev olution were smugglers. But that was different. They were avoiding taxes on necessities, in the laying of which they had had no choice.
 Today's smuggling of the kind referred to has no such excuses. The goods are usually luxury goods. It is to be pre- stunned that the people who travel abroad and buy such expensive articles have plenty of money else they would not do either. To see them attempt to beat the law in order to brag and snicker to their friends later of how they "beat the govern ment" is obnoxious in the highest degree. On such offenders the government should crack down efficiently and thoroughly.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-09
An Embossed Legislature

The main boast of Republicans now that the 1889 Legislature is rapidly be- coming state history is that since the past January activities at Hartford have been unbossed. Whether or not this should be boasted about might rightly be termed moot question. It's customary to place boss" or director over most jobs and certainly the legislative one is no exception. The idea of an embossed" legislative session, though, is to inform the citizens of the state that there were no orders or directions from outside the Capitol.
 Reference is to the days when the late J. Henry Roraback was supposed to be issuing orders as to what laws should be made and what proposed laws should be tossed to the four winds. One of the amusing features of this past session was the undertone very noticeable at several times when bit of shove or restrain ing hand from outside the legislative linn it's would have been appreciated. Many ob- servers got the impression that all this cheering and exulting about the absolute untrammelled freedom of the General Assembly was just bit forced.
 Time will tell whether or not this first Embossed" session, as it is now called, was any more productive of results than, for example, the several that were held when Wilbur L. Cross was governor, but the Legislature was GOP-controlled, as it always has been and always will be so long as membership in the House is de- termined in it's present manner. Many good things came of this session; many .I I~xy II,0t t3c customary So we might say of 1889 and its legislative term that it probably ranks favorably with those in the past, no better, no worse.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-09

We are entertaining English royalty and everything is going along shipshape, just ceremonious enough, and just Amer ican enough. While the English rulers are accustomed to pomp and ceremony attending big affairs there is no doubt they will have been impressed with things done in the good old American way, music, parades, din and dinners; all that can be crammed in within the space of few days. Their entrance into New York City and the attending acclaim will be epochal. In short, from the time their royal majesties arrived at Niagara Falls (American side) and Mrs. Hull deeming valor the better part of discretion, shook hands with the King and Queen, every thing proceeded in the good old American way and from what we read in the papers the entire program was okey-doke. Like typical big-hearted Americans we just loved having them and hope they loved coming

Socialized Medicine

Connecticut can have socialized medi- cine if it wants it. The General Assembly has opened the door to this latest advance in social welfare work by passage of an enabling act. This bill allows the forma- tion of medical service corporations along the lines of those now providing hos pitalization plans for group of employees the hospital plans the socialized medicine scheme should take well, once 1t is estab- lished That may not be for some time, because as yet no group of physicians in this state has shown disposition to form such corporation.
 However, since the proposal was well supported throughout the state by sev- oral medical societies, we don't doubt but what prompt steps WiIl be taken in the .1rna<Ien ol definite policy of operation 'n Qonzscct|cut. HoV soon this wllI mean
