WHERE IS OUR
LEADERSHIP?

wierd situation confronts the Amer
ican public today. 1t is a situation the
explanation OF which may lie in events
of the last eight years. Or it might lie
in the events of today-and if if does, the
American people are unfortunate.
AS never before, the American people
are looking to President Roosevelt for
great measure of leadership. They are
looking to him to tell them what his
policies are. They ask, where are we
going?," and look to the White House
for an answer.
There has been none Forthcoming.
The President was to have spoken
Wednesday before the Pan-American
Union in Washington. At first he al
lowed speculation as to the Importance
of his Wednesday speech. Then he did
an about-face, and declared it would
contain nothing of world Importance.
And now he has cancelled the speech
entirely.
waiting for sign of the leadership they
have a right to expect from the PreSi-
dent.
In this situation we have what may be
the strangest paradox of recent Ameri-
can history. 1t falls into two contradic-
tory divisions:
i. The President has undoubtedly
maneuvered skillfully in the interna-
tional field We believe he has done
what was best for the American people,
in this field
2. The President has failed lamentably
in the domestic field to exert the leader
ship which is his by right OF election,
to direct the American people by keep
ing them informed of the things that
are most necessary to achieve the ma
tons goals.
Why does such paradox exist?
Perhaps the answer lies in the first
years of the New Deal-in the non-war
years. Roosevelt failed then to solve the
problems that were before him. He failed
to bring domestic prosperity, but brought
instead an ever increasing unemploy
ment total and, alongside it, an ever
mounting national deficit. As a Pres-
dent guiding the domestic policies of his
nation, he was politician purely and
simply. He achieved nothing.
Study this fact, not with bitterness,
but with the pure logic of reason. In
such a study, it becomes apparent that
one possibility exists.
America has an international Presi-
dent, incapable of solving domestic diff
ficulties and exerting non-pelitical do
mestic leadership but entirely capable
and ultimately skillful as in international

 Anatomy
 Do not the nerves controlling stomach, heart and lungs have cen- ters in the spinal cord?

Answer-No. The nerves con- trolling stomach, heart and lungs have centers in the brain, being mainly the tenth cranial nerves, called vagus or pneumogastric. sensory nerves for areas of skin over stomach, heart and chest have cen- ters in spinal cord or ganglia along side 1t. They are called intercoastal nerves (placed between the ribs).

 There's nothing that can be sub- stituted for this family security. Yet it is something every mother and father, no matter how poor can give their children.
 FAMILIES WILL STICK TOGETHER
 Where there is family security from the time children are small, it is carried over into adult life.
 The family, though it's mem- bers may live thousands of miles apart is still clan. And by then family security has usually be- come financial security also.
 For every member of the fam fly knows that if he absolutely has to have help, some member of the family, or several together, will help him out whether he needs money to get a new job. to pay for through a tough period.

ton may be just what you need to remove the shine permanently from your nose and to make powder stay on for hours. If your skin is dry, one of the fine foundation creams or films may be just what you need to give your complexion a dewy, fresh look.
 MAKE POWDER
 IMPROVE COMPLEXION
 It's mistake to decide to buy a foundation and powder to match exactly the tone of your skin. That is, unless your skin tones are rosy and lovely. If they are not, let your cosmetics make them so.
 The woman whose skin tones are sallow certainly should not buy powder n a yellowish, dull shade that will only serve to make the sal- low tones even more sallow She needs foundation and powder with pinkish l!ghts-pinkish lights that will conceal the sallow shading. And the girl whose face is too pink--in facvt, inclined to be red-obviously needs yellowish- beige rather than rosy-beige powder.

A LUMP IN THE BREAST

I am fl. Three years ago dts- covered a lump in the right breast. went immediately to Q physician. The examination included fiuoro- scope, blood count and ,urinalysis. The doctor said there was no indi- cation of malignancy, but that l should have an examination at least every six months, to be on the safe side.
 Six months later was examined by another doctor. Again the doctor told me not to be alarmed, that the lump was evidently not malignant, but to have an examination twice a year. Tn reply to my inquiry the doctor said the lump could be re- moved by operation, of course, but unless 1t bothered me too much I should try to forget 1t except for the semi.annual examination.
 Next time I consulted Q third physician who said the lump was not malignant, but suggested that have 1t removed rather than dwell on the possibility of cancer all the time. He also said Q doctor can't tell just when such @ lump may be- come malignant. Still I do not like the idea of being operated on and finding perhaps that the lump was harmless.
 Isn't there any way or test to de- termine certainly whether such lump is malignant, without cutting into 1t? What would you advise me to do? All the doctors asked whether I had any pain in the breast. Sonle- times 1t has seemed as though I felt little pain there, but again I don't know. The lump is freely movable. thought you might rec ommend some good clinic or special ist anyway. (Miss N. W.)
 The wisest plan, I think, would be to stick to any of the three phy- sicians consulted, and not run from one to another. A doctor who has examined you once is better quali- fled to determine whether any sus- picious change has occurred than would be a doctor who has never examined you before.
 If ell breasts with Jumps in 'em were operated on the surgeons would be kept pretty busy.
 At the same time, to the best of my knowledge, all three doctors have given the patient good advice She has taken the right course for any woman, of any age, who dis covers lump in the breast.
