To Investigate Plants
All plants cooperating in such
agreements, according to his pro-
gram, would be investigated to de-
termine whether they comply with
health and safety requirements and
abide by labor standards prevailing
in the area.
Moreover, payment of guaran-
teed weekly minimum wage, on the
basis of 40 hours work, would be
made to all employees frozen on
their jobs. This provision is simi-
lar to that operating in England,
where workers are thus protected
against layoffs. How can the
Manpower Commission justly at
tempt to freeze men to their jobs
while at the same time employees
are being discharged because of no
available work ?" Murray asked.
Men Laid Off
"As you know in hundreds of
plants throughout the nation men
are being laid off, having worked
themselves out of jobs by produc-
ing too fast and too much" he
said. "No provision has been made
to assure continuity of work for
these employees. Your directive
under these circumstances can only
serve to destroy the morale and
efficiency of workers"

Committee
To Study
City Revenue

After a long winded argument
during which Councilmen Etchen
and Czelusta expressed grave
doubts of the results to be OBJ
tanned, Council voted at its Mon
day morning meeting to empower
citizens committee to conduct an
investigation and propose ways and
means of levying taxes to pay off
the city's outstanding Indebtedness
without first holding special levy
elections.
Selection of the committee was
given to City Manager George N.
Schoonmaker. 1t will make a
study of all city departments,
make recommendation to Council
upon savings in revenues, and in
general to enlighten the public so
it will be favorable to increased
taxes.
Thacher Has His Say
Councilman Addison Q. Thacher
in commenting on the motion to
appoint a citizens committee said,
''it seems to me that we don't need
citizens committee to do the
work Council is getting paid to
do" but, when the question came
to vote, Thacher voted yes which
was an indication that he was per-
fectly willing to let citizens COM
mittee carry the ball and feel out
public opinion.
Councilman Howard Etchen, who
is in the real estate business, ex-
pressed fears that the levy might
effect real estate and said so, and
proved his fears when he Joined

Since no two human beings are ever exactly

had promised himself many times to stop drinking
And he had stopped for few weeks at time
Then the old urgency would take hold of him

of his DOCTORS
For some time Tom had had the feeling that
he stood apart from life as a vagabond and no

most inebriates in his situation have-the look of
one who has been washed violently high and dry
upon a wasteand. He thought at first he could
not stay at the meeting TO face the other men and
women who must know what was going on inside
him.
Suddenly he found himself sitting on the edge

Here some questions
present themselves. What is this illness? If drink
ing to excess is only a symptom, what is the fun
damcntal cause? How can alcoholism be cured?
The medical scientists, while in agreement on
some phases of the subject, are opposed in others

impairment Of the body and the mind through the

been counted The scientists like to say that there
is no such thing as a born drunkard. No biologist
has yet been able TO discover that alcohol affects
the C. plasm. They do admit that newborn
child may be potential drunkard. And we know
that drinking does run in families The explana-
ton for this is that the offspring of drunkards in
herit unstable and high-strung nervous systems,
and that this instability may cause them to drink
when they grow up
On the side Of environment there are dozens Of
possible sources-discord in the home; broken
homes; physical impairmontS resulting from such
children's diseases as scarlet fever and measles;
domination by one parent or another or exceeding
fondness for one of them; fears engendered by
scare stories or accidents cruel treatment; too
great or too little discipline; natural shyness; sex

the therapist's success depends largely
upon his ability to detect these lmpul-
siOns.
Let us see how it was with Tom
and with Enid
When Tom came to his first meeting
Of Alcoholics ANONYMOUS he had Just
recovered from the effects Of one Of his
periodical sprees. Three weeks previ-
ouslv he had awakened TO find himself
in the alcoholic ward Of the city hos
pital He had been brought there from
the Jail where he was booked on the
charge Of felonious assault.
His father, a man of Influence, was
able TO get him off with a suspended
sentence. Tom had been able TO re-
member nothing Of what had occurred
after he had shared the contents of

the private institution whore his father
had placed him.
The truth was he had found his
way out through an unlocked door TO
be picked up several days later IN,

gagged in a drunken brawl, hitting a
man over the head with a chair Now
the doctors had told his father they
had tried everything known TO them

was a confirmed dipsomaniac and

that while alcohol addlC-
ton brings on alcoholism,
the true cause goes much
deeper than the drinking.
They claim that the
source Of the malady is a
fundamental flaw in the
combined physical, mental
and emotional makeup.

Vacations and bridge are forms
Of amusement which the war has
more or less limited. When 1t is
possible to combine the two, how
ever, the average contract player is
rejoiced. Such a combination has
been effected by Sam Holt, promoter
of the Junior Chamber of Commerce
of Asheville, N. c. Mr.. Holt has
arranged to have the Southern
Appalachian Contract Bridge
Championships of the American
Contract Bridge League conducted
under the auspices of the junior
chamber, with all the attractions
that an outing "in the land of the
sky" can add to a tournament.
This business organization to
which Mr.. Holt Is attached has
made the bridge meet one of the
outstanding features OF the series
OF entertainments which it provides
for visitors throughout the year.
The Pilot Club of Asheville will act
as host in showing guests about the
city and taking them over the beau
tiful scenic drives Of the famous
summer playground. Washington
players who have not yet been able
to get their vacations are endeavor-
ing to make plans to attend the
tournament. Some of them have
been there before and have been
much pleased with the hospitality
extended. Sometimes they have
won trophies also, and that has
added to the pleasure. They hope
to be able to repeat, but whether
they do or not, they know they will
enjoy the trip and its social fea-
lures. The meet is scheduled for
next Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
at the George Vanderbilt Hotel.

boyhood fancy-instead Of the So
cialite Madge Hayes, fiuttery
featherhead immersed in his career,
but not helping it much. There is
warmth and feeling in the relation
with his firstborn, Jim, but curl
Gus detachment from his other off,
spring. He covertly encourages
Jim's courtship of the lively Sally
Sales. Jeffrey's affair with Mariana,
an actress, is coldly ephemeral anc
strictly one-way affection. When
war comes, he goes to Washington
hoping to resume a military career
in the Air Corps as line officer,
only to find that time has passed
him by. and a desk in public rela-
tions seems to be the niche. So
Jim carries the Wilson banner with
the Army.
OF its utilities and problems, one
can admire the way In which Mr..
Marquand sets down the realiza-
ton that jeffrey, rs . writer, has
passed his peak, that his gifts Of
imagination and the creative In
sight have been dulled by middle
age, that-as he discovers at the
War Department-combat belongs
to the young and adventurous. In
his mellow reflections-and In one
of the most beautifully written
scenes Of the book-he finds q refuge
in Madge.
In this panorama Of scenes, all
pertinent to the narrative, the Mar
quand facility for sharp analysis Of
trivialities and minute detail is
highlighted with pattern woven
into the filled-in portrait both vivid
and satisfying. Some may not like
the story line interrupted by the
flashback technique, but Mr.. Mar
quands language ripples and sings,
and, in many respects, impresses
with the vigor and power of fine
writing. ANDREW r. KELLEY.

The Soul of a Nation
By Matthew PAGE Andrew

(Scribner'sJ
This work seems to meet the need
for a history of the settling OF
Americas first colony, Virginia,
which shall be popularity written
and broadly scholarly, too. And the
word settling" is to be taken lit
orally. The work covers only the
first few years of the colony's life.
1t begins with the preliminary in
vestigations conducted by Walter
Raleigh and describes his various
failures and the later voyages of
exploration as preliminary. Then
1t takes up the jamestown colony
OF 1907 and examines its history
in minute detail until the holding
of the First Assembly. 1t is hard
to see how historian could be
more particular than DR.. Andrews
has been in going over this ground.
His aim has been to establish
the whole structure of the colonial
venture. He therefore goes into
the conditions under which the va
rious backing companies operated,
the effect on American plans of
European international relations
and the personalities of the direc-
tors and Governors. His opinion
Is that there was more idealism
than expectation Of material gain
in the project of settlement, and
he emphasizes every expression of
liberal aims which he finds in the
records of the founders. Examin-
ing the acts of the colonists them
selves, he similarly emphasizes
those which seem to indicate the
liberal spirit. Thus, he strives to
show that the germ of freedom was
not a strictly American growth, but
was transplanted laboriously to our
soil by deliberate English intent.
The reviewer did not find DR..
