MRS. G. writes her

SAN FRANCISCO-FP)-A
scrap of paper blown down a
city street provides mute testi-
mony on what the high cost of
food means to family.
The note, lost by visiting
milkman and picked up by a
curious unionist, reads:
Change Mrs. G-(Apt-) from
two quarts Grade A to two
quarts skim milk"
The union member, brought
Federated Press the note, ask
ed: "Do you think Mrs. G.
and her family prefer skim
milk to Grade A? Do you think
they would have made the
change if the price OF foods
had not scared so?
Because some people are
more interested in profits, Mrs:
G-'s children will have to go
to school from now on with
skim milk in their stomachs
instead of good rich milk with
the cream in it."

few seconds at the cost of a
small Hershey bar-thousands of
workers in a factory can be
screened for tuberculosis in a day.
If the X-ray reveals just a spot
on the lung, meaning very mini
NAL case, it may not be necessary
to be hospitalized. But most often,
going to a sanatorium is the best
idea. The tuberculosis hospitals
are nearly all financed by govern
ment.
In some states, especially in the
south, there aren't nearly enough
beds available, but the situation
is improving through new con-
struction and through civilian use
of surplus army hospitals. Public
demand can help expand and i'm
prove facilities everywhere.
IT SHOULD BE possible to re-
duce tuberculosis to as great a
rarity as smallpox, if we make full
use of these mass X-ray examina-
tons and sanatorium care. That
calls for expansion of public
health departments, larger appro-
priations, and the cooperation of
labor and all civic groups.
But tuberculosis will never
be completely eliminated until
poverty is wiped out.
The basic preventive medicine
against tuberculosis is decent
wage for every citizen, regardless
of race, creed, or geographic To-
cation. Unions can do lots more
to win this part of the battle
than doctors.

scrubbing may do the trick though
you may find that the green SPOT
is now yellowish. Javelle water
will bleach white clothes. Colored
clothes are pretty hopeless, though
you might try the old fashioned
trick of rubbing the stain with
molasses and then washing in
hot soapy water. 1t works some
times, believe it or not. Wool
clothes may be sponged with equal
parts of denatured alcohol and
water.
FOR FRUIT STAINS on cottons
or linens the boiling water treat
ment is best. Avoid soap like the
plague, and if the process doesn't
work the first time keep trying.
Sometimes it takes several repe-
tltions to eradicate the stain.
Then there's another thing.
Summer is hot. Clothes frequently
get streaked with perspiration.
IheSe stains usually wash out on
White clothes but occasionally col
ored clothes are changed in color.
Generally people give up in such
cases but sometimes the color can
be restored. One way is to hold
the spot over the fumes of bot
tie of ammonia. Another is to
sponge the spot with vinegar or
alcohol If none of these schemes
works and the garment is badly
discolored there isn't much you
can do except dye it.
And then if the process involves
bleaching the garment first, we'd
bleach and wash, and leave the
dyeing for next summer. Even
styles in color might change.

Despite cur great progress in
reducing the scourge of tubercu-
loSis, it still kills tens of thou
sands unnecessarily every year
and ranks as the seventh leading
cause of death for the whole pop
ulation.
A few weeks ago we discussed
how tuberculosis, which once car
ried off people of all classes al
most in epidemics, is now prin-
cipally disease of the poor. The
well-to-do. have protected them
selves against it by good housing,
proper diets, adequate rest, and
efficient medical care.
The poverty, squaior, and in
sufficient medicai care among
Negro people explains why tuber-
culosis kills them at three or four
times the rate among white people
TUBERCULOSIS is not a hered-
itary disease and it is not incur
able. 1t is a contagious disease,
spread from person to person,
mostly by coughing. Its spread can
be readily prevented by removing
the afflicted Individual from con-
tact with his family and asso-
ciates. The best way is to put
him in a SaniiOriIIn
The big problem is to detect
the disease early. The earlier
its caught. the better are the
chances of complete recovery and
the less the danger of injecting
others.
But tuberculosis often gives no
clear signs of its existence in the
earliest stages. You may feel
little tired and rundown and pos
Sibly have loss of your appetite.
Coughing, fever, and night sweats
don't show up till the disease is
pretty well advanced.

ping it in the bud is to find tuaer-
culosis in people before they're
even conscious of any symptoms.

SPRING BRINGS NEW

BERLIN, April 2o-R-spring

ployment which will change labor
relations once again.
There is an underlying problem
here, for which no solution is
known, which is at the heart OF
the industrial problem throughout
the world, and which it would be
much more agreeable to ignore. 1t
is, to put it bluntly, whether it is
possible to combine high produc-
tivity with free labor and full en-
ployment. This is the riddle of
the Sphinx to which no modern
society has found the answer.
The most powerful criticism OF
the capitalist system made by
Karl Marx was that it did not
operate without the pressure OF
what he called the Industrial re-
serve army, that is a large mass
of unemployed, upon those who
were employed. The threat of un-
employment, he said, was what
moved men to accept jobs and to
do them under the discipline OF
the employer and at the wages he
was willing and able to offer
them. The strongest argument for
socialism was that this compul-
sion would disappear because I'M
employment would disappear. In
the '30s, while capitalist countries
like Britain and America were
suffering from unemployment, the
whole world was impressed by the
fact that collectivist countries like
Germany and Russia had solved
the problem of unemployment.
But contrary to the implied
promises of Marx, the abolition OF
unemployment was accompanied
by the RECOMMENDATION of labor. The
compulsion of unemployment was
replaced by the CONSUMPTION OF
labor, the whip of poverty by the
whip of the police. Socialism in
Russia achieved full employment
and substantial production but
labor was no longer free.
These countries, we say, are moi
democracies, and have never
known freedom. Therefore the
world will watch Great Britain
anxiously. For there under the La
Dor party the world is witnessing
the great experimental test as te
whether under full employment
which Britain has, with high pro
ductivity which she must have te
survive, and with free labor which
she clings to with deep conviction.
an answer can be found to the
riddle of the Sphinx. That, rather
than whether this or that indus
try is nationalized successfully, is
the historical issue in Britain. The
outcome is gravely in doubt. But
whatever the result, it will affect
deeply and subtly the social
thoughts of all mankind.

Department OF Agriculture
Expects Consumption Ia
Continue High In AT

WASHINGTON, April 2o-Re
The Agriculture department said
tonight it expects cigarette con-
sumption to continue at high levels
even it business activity should
fall off.
There may be some shift to pipe
smoking, it said, but the general
reluctance of cigarette smokers
to reduce consumption, the addi-
ton of new smokers from the ex-
banding population, and the rela-
lively smaller price increase. for
cigarettes than for other items
is expected to keep consumption
up.
The department said a decline
in business activity would have
more effect upon consumption OF
cigars because they are relatively
higher priced than cigarettes.
Exports of tobacco last year
were well above 1945 both in
quantity and value, the depart
ment said, but 1947 exports are not
expected to reach last years tot
al.
Acreage Increases
The department reported this
years acreage Of flue cured to-
bacco will be up slightly. It said
prices of this type may not be
as high as those obtained for the
1916 crop, but more favorable than
in 1915.
Burley acreage prospects were
said to be II per cent smaller
than the 1916 harvested acreage.
The report said that if genera!
economic activity declines late in
1947, hurley prices for the 1947
crop may stay at or near govern
ment price support levels, which
probably will be higher than last
year.
The indicated acreage for flue-
cured types was said to be up
about four per cent over last
years harvested acreage. The de-
partment said market prospects
for these types do not appear IA
verable, although government
price supports are likely to be
higher than last year.
Cigar tobacco acreage is ex-
pected to be up slightly. The
department said prices may be
lower than last year if there is
a decline in business activity.
