Migrants Are
Aided ByState
Job Service
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh. June 24.-An "interCep-
ton station. set up on Highway No.
II. about three and half miles south
of Wilmington. has this year been Of
great aid to the North Carolina State
Employment Service in handling the
puzZling problem Of migratory labor
engaging in the harvest of eastern
North Cardinals potato crop.
The station checked in six days
(Grom June 7 through June l2) a
total of 85l migratory laborers who
came through in 80 passenger cars
and 25 trucks.
The inspectors found that soy OF
the migrants were headed for partiS
cular destinations: but there were
342 persons who were 'just looking
for work" in the potato fields.
The particular value of the inter-
CcptiOn station lay in the fact that
these 342 persons were Immediately
directed TO points where it was
known that workers were in demand.
The Employment Service reported
that no trouble at all was caused by
stopping the vehicles. On the other
hand, ii is pointed out, the migratory
groups were we'll pleased to learn of
the program developed TO assist them.
Most Of the vehicles stopped bore
Florida and Georgia license plates
with few from South Carolina.
Some cars, though not many, had
North Carolina tags.
With the exception Of the contrac-
tors, and group lorcmcn, practically
all lie migrants were Negroes.
Most OF the migrants found work
in the Bayb0ro, Aurora and Eliza
beth City sections, though some went
TO the other four potato production

That Barefoot Boy
His Feet Heo|thiest, Says the Doctor
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

OTHE FEET, like every other
part of the body, should be given
care at all times, but it seems
in the spring and carly summer
they need more care than usual.
This year abnormal temperatures
throughout nearly all sections OF
the country, and hard rains, cause
many feet to ache, especially when
rubbers, overshoes and heavy foot
wear are discarded.
In children, the prevention OF
foot defects should be stressed and
it is the objective of the National
Foot Health Council to point out
the necessity and proper method
of doing this. In school examina-
tons in large cities, an average of
76 per cent of boys and girls OF
high school age were found foot

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. B. T.: "What effect have
EPSON salts on the body in a
BATH"
Answer: Practically none.
They are sometimes advised be-
cause they are thought to reduce
weight but this is not true. OF
course, if the bath is salt enough
it removes fluid from the body,
but if so it is unsafe. EPSON salts
ir a concentrated solution, Satu-
rated on a cloth, are valuable in
he relief cf pain locally, but ex-
ternally there is no other use.
E. G.: "Let me know if there is
any harm in taking bismuth for a
long time"
Answer: Yes. Bismuth pro-
duccs a chronic metallic poison
ing with deposits in the gums and
degeneration of the blood. 1t
should not be taken except on the
advice of a physician.
NJ. NJ: members of my family
will not eat potatoes nor maca-
roni; and very little sugar on their
cereal and in coffee; nor white
bread. l have tried to make them
eat what | consider a well bal
anced diet"
Answer: If people are healthy
and happy do not try to influence
their diet. Starches and sugars
and macaroni are simply conccn-
tratcd, proccSscd carbohydrates
that your family will get in vcgc-
tables, fruits, cereals, and prob
ably be better off.
L. S.-"Plcasc advise what is
the best time of the year to have a
child's tonsils taken out?'
Answer-Thcrc is no time any
better than any other. The best
time is when you are certain the
tonsils are doing harm. In other
words, the best time of year to take
the tonsils out is when the tonSils
need to be taken out. Of course,
usually August and September are
the busy times of year for the tom
sill doctor because parents feel that
it benefits children TO have their
tonsils out before going to school.

+. d. have heard Of the
treatment of duodcnal ulcer with
series Of shots. How successful is
this treatment"
Answer presume by "Shots"
you mean hyp0dcrmic injections.
The use of injections of non-spc-
cifc protcins was introduced sew
eral years ago but ! believe has
largely gone out Of fashion, and
of course the reason it has gone out
of fashion is that it was not as
successful as the treatment by diet

Defense Amortization

In approving q plan to incorporate
In the proposed excess profits bill n
provision for an amortization, over
a five-year period, Of the costs of
defense plant expansion, the House
Ways and Means Taxation subcom-
mittee is to be commended for taking
the initial step toward removing Z
major legislative barrier to speeding
up the preparedness program. This
barrier Is the lack of authority in
the present law to permit q company
to charge OF the cost OF new con-
struction within q reasonable time.
Under the plan approved by the
House group, companies receiving
national defense contracts will be
permitted to amortize the costs of
new construction and equipment at
an annual rate of twenty per cent.
To build for the United States a
total" defense, Congress has ap-
propriated billions of dollars, and
American industry has been called
upon to supply the Government
with vast quantities of munitions
and war materials. In filling de-
tense orders, industry must build
new plants and expand existing IA
cilities. II the tax amortization re-
quirements are liberalized, national
defense contractors will be able to
charge off the costs of new plants
and equipment during the period in
which 1t seems reasonable to expect
that these facilities will be used.
The amortization plan will ac-
complish two important objectives.
First, it will speed up the defense
program by offering private con-
tractors a greater incentive to &C
cept Government orders. Second, it
will help business concerns accent
ing arms contracts to resume normal
operations more easily and with
fewer problems of readjustment at
the end of the present emergency.
In enacting an excess profits bill,
Congress should follow the recon-
mendations of the House Ways and
Means Subcommittee by including q
provision permitting the deduction
OF the costs of defense plant con-
struction and expansion over five
year period. BY approving this
amortization plan, it will put an end
to what has been aptly described as
the worst bottleneck in the de-
tense program"

Highway Efficiency

Inc Fark ana Framing COmmiS-
sion in its monthly meeting has
taken steps which seem to offer a
solution to some of the perplexing
questions involved in the problem of
modernizing some of the citys major
traffic arteries with a minimum of
damage to shade trees.
Instead Of Massachusetts, avenue
being denuded of its trees between
Wisconsin avenue and the new Rock
Creek Bridge, the commission favors
adding approximately four feet to
the breadth of the roadway over
most Of this stretch, thereby pre-
serving the trees and the character
OF the section traversed, although
some trees will be sacrificed at OBJ
servatory Circle to permit a less
abrupt curve. However, at this
point, due to the lack of contiguous
buildings, the trees can be replaced
when the work has been completed.
Similar to this is the action taken
concerning the streets leading east
ward from Capitol Hill. Suggestions
for the widening of B streets north
east and southeast, making them
monumental but barren, were
changed, studies being ordered into
the advisability of slightly widening
both A and B streets in the two
sections, preserving the trees. yet
facilitating the flow of traffic by
making each a one-way thorough
fare.
Another study ordered is that
concerning the development and
extension of Independence avenue
to the river at Arlington Bridge
without working injury to the char
acter Of the Tidal Basin and sur
rounding park. This project Is par
ticularly important as an additional
traffic outlet for the thousands who
soon will be employed in the new
Federal buildings south Of the Mall.
All these plans, of course, do not
agree fully with the concepts of
those who are primarily interested
in the speeding of vehicular traffic,
and the Observatory Circle proposal
will not meet with full approval Of
those who have the beauty of the
Capital at heart. But they do effect
reasonable compromise between
beauty and utility which will win the
favor of many who endeavor to view
the necessities of all phases of the
community life in the broader light
of the common welfare.

R. |. P.

In 1922 Psychologists dug up the
mummy OF King Tutankhamen from
the tomb in which it had rested
for centuries. The disinterment was
protested at the time by a commit
tee of American undertakers, who
objected to such non-professional
interference with the work of their
colleagues of 1850 BIC. Their protest
called forth a few smiles, but Just
the same the Egyptian government
has buried him again as a safety pre-
caution.
They remember that he was origi-
nally consigned to the tomb by the
crude civilization of his benighted
era in the fond hope that he might
rest in peace; and he has been sent
back there by the highly advanced
civilization of 1910 to keep him from
resting in pieces after an air raid.
During his brief life, existence was
made pleasant for him by Oriental
perfumes, ointments and lotions
which were primitive but soothing;
during his rather prolonged death
other concoctions preserved him;
and it is only since his enforced
resurrection that he has been so en-
dangered by the risk of the Italian
bomb treatment that it has been
found advisable to retire him from
circulation. Maybe those American
undertakers were not wrong after all.
