Come on friends, let's have a
heart to heart talk: Portland has
some problems, so have we in Seat
tie. Our genial good natured man.
ager of this department is away
on a mission of love. You wouldn't
envy her would you? Certainly
not.
We wish you had a newspaper
all your own. In all probability
you could do more. Until that
happens, join hands with the
Northwest Enterprise to make
better Portland.
A newspaper exists by its SUBJ
scribers and their friendly rela-
ton with its advertisers. 1t is
mutual.
In Seattle we never accept the
advertisement of any large firm
without some effort to place a
member of our race in employment
where there are none, or add to
those already employed.
In the opening of the New Wool
worth Wonder Store in Seattle, the
Northwest Enterprise was instru-
mental in the creation of relations
that are going to react favorably
to you in Portland, Spokane, Ia
coma and Yakima. Try saving your
sales slips from these stores.
Did it ever occur to you that
you in Portland are similarly sit
uated? Do you patronize our ad-
vertisers? If you do, that of a GER
tainty, will pave the way for other
openings. Do our advertisers re-
spond to you?
What have you done to aid the
Flower company to make place
for your boy? If one-half of the
car owners of our race in Portland
would concentrate their business
with that institution, we venture
the assertion, they would be in a
position to give employment to one
or two more members of the race.
Is the Holman and Lutz Mortu-
airy just another home from which
to bury your departed and SYM
pathize with you in your hour of
bereavement? OF verify they
have given employment to race
men, freely given the use of their
cars for your public affairs, al
ways interested obliging and pleas
ing. Are we as responsive? An in
stitution as favorable as Holman
and Lutz certainly appreciates
your patronage.
Moore's Food Store is a friendly
merchant. We must have food. The
only store in Portland that has
Publicly indicated they would ap-
preciate your patronage. Once en-
tering their attractive place of
business you find it unnecessary
to go elsewhere for your pur-
chases.
The Save-Way Cleaners for al
terations and repairs, as close to
you as your telephone, and Ye Old
Bar-B-Q pit offering a splendid
day and night service of well cook
ed foods, both feel they receive
scant cooperation. Just because you
fail to mention the Northwest En-
terprise every time you make a
purchase, does not indicate their
advertisement isn't worth while,
does it?

By Brig. Gen. Hugh S. johnson
WASHINGTON - My friend,
Colonel Fleming, able admins
traitor of the wage-and-hour law,
has written me calling me on a
recent column in which discussed
the trouncing Red Cap porters got
when the new rule of 40 cents a
bag" went into effect.
If you want to have your bags
carried when you get off the train
you must pay the porters at least
10 cents each. The porter accounts
for all this to the railroad COM
pany. If, at the end of the week,
the total does not equal the mini
mum wage required by the law,
the railroad must make up the
difference.
AS my column explained, the net
result has been a serious slash in
Red Caps earnings. My column
put the loss at between 10 per cent
and 25 per cent. That brought a
storm of letters and verbal pro-
tests from Red Caps. They say
the loss is nearer 40 per cent"
Colonel Fleming does not dis
pute all this, but objects to my
blaming the wage-and-hour divi-
sion for this result. He says the
railroads and not his administra-
ton devised" the system. Maybe
SO, Philip, but until you began to
administer" there wasn't any
such system and now there is.
Colonel Fleming says tips are
not wages" How does it happen
then, that wage-and-hour ruling
produced all the grief for the port
ers?
How do they suddenly become
wages meeting all the require
ments of the laws" merely because
the railroad company grabs them
out of the porters' hands and gives
part of them back again?
The wage-and-hour division in
forms me that, in some cases, the
railroads grab the entire take"
and refund only 80 cents an hour
a process which distorts a mini
mum wage law into a maximum
wage law. The whole business is
chickenfeed chiseling.
I can't believe that there is
nothing we can do about it le-
gally." One thing to do about it is
to carry the ruling that "tips are
not wages" through to its logical
conclusion that they do not become
wakes after the railroad has hi
lacked them out of the porter and
paid part of them back again.

WATER NEEDED IN
A BALANCED DIET
Value of Water Discuss
ed BY Miss McPheeters.
Nutrition Specialist

To drink or not to drink water
with meals is question often dis
cussed by people who are anxious
to conform to good dietary prac-
tice, says Miss Margaret Nc
Pheeters. specialist in nutrition for
the Extension Service, University
of Maryland.
Unless water is used to flush
food into the stomach to avoid
chewing properly. there seems to
be no adequate reason why salts
flying amounts of water should not
be taken at meal time Children
should not be allowed to fill up on
water just before or during the
cary part of the meal.
Some authorities class water as
a food and some do not. However
all agree that water, as well as
oxygen, and foodstuffs, is essen
tial to human life. In addition to
water drunk plain and in bever-
ages, large amounts also are con-
sumed in foods, Miss McPheeters
points out. Many common foods
are more than fifty per cent water
and even those that look dry con-
tain some moisture.
The bodies of normal persons of
the same size do not vary much in
water content. Water accounts
for about 60 to 70 per cent of body
weight Some of this is in the
form of blood, urine, sweat and
tears. The muscles. digestive
juices. and internal fluids of the
eyes and joints contain large pro-
portions Of water.
One reason why water is needed
constantly. is to keep up the neces-
sary supply of normal body fluids.
Another is to transport food thru
the digestive system and to help
to eliminate the waste products of
the body. Water helps to regulate
body temperature and takes part
in many chemical processes with
in the body.

living and working under comfort.

No phenomenon of these times
is more striking than the sudden
rediscOvery of winter as a recrea-
-ional asset. There appears to be
worldwide awakening to the de-
lights of snow and ice sports,
manifesting itself in this country,
particularly in the northeastern
states.
AS recently as ten years ago
when the last tourist, about the
middle of October, had fitted
from the billy northern parts of
New England and New York, the
region was deserted except for
its thinly scattered native popula-
ton, and thereafter until the
thaws OF spring became a half-for-
gotten place of cold, lonesomeness
and snowy isolation.
Consider the present by con-
trast. In mid-December every inn,
lodge, cabin OF farm house that
had entertained vacationists last
summer reopened for the winter
season. Schools of skiing, with in
structOrs imported from Switzer-
land and Norway, have sprung up
seemingly at every cross road, re-
placing the golf schools of sum-
mer
Scores of special trains, in ad-
ditiOn to the regular ones, run
from the eastern cities to these
resorts, carrying passengers for a
week end, two weeks or a month
among the SHOWS. On a single
day there have been 100000 skiers
pursuing their sport on the New
Hampshire, New York and Yer
mont hills.

Happy and Lazy

Approach of dangerous age
when all will be too happy to
work is forecast by a professor of
neurology at Cornell University.
The doctors have discovered that
part of the brain which controls
human emotions, and the predic-
ton is that it will not be long be-
fore they can lay their hands on
the switch and dial it to happy"
Some will not want that station
for they enjoy their troubles; but
most will and it will be impossible
ever after to get them out of bed
in the morning to go to work.
They will be too content with
where they are ever to get up un-
less another party is in the offing,
1t is to be hoped that the doc
tors will not find how to manipu-
late this key until depressions
and recessions have run their
course and the nation is on high
peak of prosperity and employ
ment. Otherwise there would be
no one to worry about methods of
getting out of the hole and most
persons might even forget that
there is one.
After economists have put man.
kind right there will be no lapses
since every EMPLOYER will be toe
satisfied to fire anyone, and no
one will be so unhappy as to re-
sign The few who choose to re
main worried will do most Of the
work, and only by watching them
will the rest of mankind know
how we'll off it is.
In that lazy day movies, plays
and books with happy endings
will be useless, and in order to at
tract people to work they may be

humidity loses about l IL pints
of water a day through the skin
and in the air from the lungs.
Heavy perspiring increases this
loss. Another loss of 2 to 5
pints a day occurs by way of the
kidneys and bowels. In the sum-
mer more water is usually lost
through the skin and less by the
kidneys, than in winter.
No general recommendation can
be given as to how much water a
person needs, since people differ
so widely in their activities and
live in different climates, wear
different clothing and eat different
foods. The satisfaction of thirst
usually takes care of the need for
water.

EUolutiOn of Spelling

When a child is slow in learning
to spell correctly do not blame the
child. Blame the fOrebears of the
English speaking peoples and also
blame the modern scholars for be-
ing stubborn and dogmatic No
child could be as slow in grasping
a spelling lesson as the advocates
of simplified spelling have been
IN carrying their point.
At first English spelling was
phonetic, just as the spelling of
children is now. There were no
through" drought" debt, or
programme" enough" cam
paign" and "gouge" in the Ian
guage before William the Con-
querer took lot of Frenchmen
into England with him, before Cax-
ton and his press tempered with
the written language and Dr.
Johnson embalmed the whole
foolishness in his dictionary.
English words should be spelled
like the little girl spelled canopy:
Camp" Nor should it have been
necessary for Andrew Jackson to
apologize for his misspelling by
observing that he didn't think
much Of a man who could not spell
word in more ways than one.
Progress in the simplification of
spelling has been discouragingly,
almost exasperatingly, slow. but
the revolution is inevitable. If
the >grammarians and pedagogues
will not do it. the worm will turn
some way and demand that the
simple be substituted for the silly.

the consolidated school. By pro-
viding assistance for the construc-
tion of 791 consolidated schools
throughout the Nation, PWA elm
mated 1882 obsolete structures. In
many sections the movement was
given impetus by the construction
Of new and improved PWA-financ-
ed roads and highways on which
school buses can travel. Along this
line many of the States received
grants to help defray the cost of
school buses. The State of North
Carolina received a grant of $197,-
900 to provide $50 school buses
costing S655, 900 to be used for the
transportation of school children in
the consolidated school districts.
Elementary and high schools and
combinations of the two are by
far the most important type of con-
struction in the school program
making up more than 20 percent
OF the lOldl uulllOCI VI lAC pIOJCCIS
and providing more than so per-
cent of the buildings and 20 per-
cent of the classrooms. Colleges
and universities have shared prom
inently in the allotments of PWA
funds, approximately 700 colleges
and universities have benefited as
a result of the PWA program and
were able to build or modernize
more than 1900 buildings. APP
proximately 10 percent of the PWA
allotments for educational purposes
went to colleges and universities.
The wide distribution of the funds
available is shown in the fact that
Of the Nations 3,O71 counties and
26 independent cities, 2,134 have
one or more PWA school projects.
In addition to all of the 48 States,
funds were also allotted for school
projects in Alaska, Hawaii and the

of life, such as Congressman, state

industry, professional boxers, major
league ball players, film and radio
stars, and others too numerous to
mention served an enlistment in
the Navy, and credit much Of their
success to this fact.
