methOds-heat, massage, cleo
tricity-are important helps in
treatment.
According to DR.. Frank Ober,
1.-The acately lame back requires
bed rest and quieting drugs. The
bed must be firm and the mattress
fiat. If the mattress says, board
20 inches shorter than the spring
should be placed under the mat
tress. A board under the mattress
may cause more pain, and in such
cases it should not be used" Some
times putting one or more pillows
under the abdomen and lying face
downward keeps the back fiat or
straight and takes pressure off the
nerves. Hot packs Is to 20 minutes
twice a day are helpful. Baking
with heat lamp the same length
of time provides relief"
Light, not deep massage,
helps promote relaxation of the
muscle spasm and aids the cir
culatiOn.
When the patient gets back on
his feet, well-fitted corset or 9TH
er support should be put on be-
fore getting out of bed.

Soviet MARRIAGE

Russian marriage laws are quaint,
Judging fro mour standards. When
a couple marries in the Soviet, they
assume either the husbands name,
the Wife's name or if they want,
they can retain their own names.
Their children are also given a
similar choice. AS for alimony, the
father is not the sole payer, as in
this country. Either the mother or
the father has to pay alimony, de-
pending on who has the custody of
the children. The alimony is a
fixed sum of money which varies
only with the number of progeny.

Year-Round Agriculture

Fertile volcanic soil, extensive
plains easily cultivated and well
watered by rainfall and by irriga-
ton from mountain streams make
possible the all-year agriculture
that has supported Java's brown
skinned millions. The growth of
population has gradually necessi-
tated increasing the cultivation of
rice for native consumption, reduc-
ing the land available for profitable
sugar, rubber quinine and other ex-
port crops.

An actress on tour became tired

went on to the platform.
Before she had proceeded many

to a stump of fuzzy tail which
wagged joyously from one of the

Answer: Not always in money
or immediate success, perhaps, but
in the peace of mind that comes
from feeling we have nothing to
hide from our neighbors- still
more important, ourselves. Some
unusually ''tough-minded" people
appear able to ignore knowing there
are things about them which no one
must ever find out, but most of us
would eventually "crack" under the
strain of such situation, even
though our secrets were securely
buried. The fact that so many
criminals confess" shows how true
this is.

Shoulder Cuffs

Do not throw away cuffs from
mems discarded shirts. They are
very useful in making shoulder
pads for washable blouses and
dresses. They retain stiffness bet
ter than other material and do not
wad as those stuffed with cotton.
One cuff will make two narrow
pads which are suited to the short
sleeves we are now using. Lay
three small darts in the side of the
cuff and sew to the top of the arm
hole seam so that the pad will ex-
tend into the sleeve or follow a
pattern for shaping the pad and
finishing.

Flower of Nativity

A little Mexican waif on Christ
mas eve had no gift to take to the
cathedral, so not wishing to enter
empty-handed, she picked weed
along the roadside and climbed the
steep path to the church. She knelt
and laid her gifts on the altar, and
as she rose to 60 she saw the poor
little weed was transformed into
the Poinsettia or the Flor de la
Noche-buena, or Flower of the Ma
tivity, as it is called in Mexico.

In every case of heart disease,
the first method of treatment should
be rest. Lying completely relaxed
uses one unit of strength, sitting
up two units, standing three units,
walking five to 10 units. As COM
plete rest may slow up circulation,
and thus cause congestion of blood
in the heart, the patient while in
bed should move his arms and legs
or undergo light MASSAGE.

HEALTH NOTES

1t may come as a surprise to
learn that. although vitamins are
important - and their discovery
ranks in importance with insulin
for diabetes and liver and liver ex-
tracts for pernicious anemia - the
foods themselves are important
aside from the vitamins, as there
are other substances present neces-
sary to health. The same condition
APPLIES in the case of proteins.

|HAMSTRUNG Federal
COMMISSIONS
By THOMAS L. STOKES

| Washington.-So Something was said
| here before about the independent
commissions created by congress
through the years to administer reg
ulatory laws, and of their Importance
because of their power to interpret
statutes designed to protect the
public.
For some time, two such commits
sions have been handicapped because
of vacancies, uncertainty over how
and when these were to be filled, and
other factors involving their capacity
to operate effectively.
One is the Federal Trade Commits
sion, which administers laws relating
to monopoly and fair trade practices.
The other is the Federal Power
Comission, which has regulatory au-
thority over electric and natural gas
utilities.
Blame for the situation within
these two commissions must be
shared by President Truman, who
has the appointive power as well as
the necessary influence to press for
action by the senate on his appoint
ments, and by his senate lieutenants,
who have delayed action on pending
This delay has played

interests which would like to see both

mission is operating with three MEM

Lowell B. Mason, will expire on Sept.

active on the commission are Gar

Word circulating around the capital

Retirement Board. While holding no partic-

noted that under his stewardship the retire

Should Mr.. Fay be replaced, in the in

There is nothing new in the meth

U. S. public opinion. An obvious
purpose of those mainly responsible
for this program is to detract public

The psychological smear campaign
distorts, as a subversive act, every
protest at disagreement resulting
from such influence.
The confusion of public opinion
which now exists resembles that of
the era of the "Know-Nothing" party
of the 1865. The ostensible creed
of the fearful followers of that hys-

flood of immigrants from Europe
would gain control here. But back
of it was the purpose of distracting

Can Editorial from the st. Louis Post-Dispatch)
When Representative Sullivan of ST. Louis,
rose in the house to attack bill releasing
naturalgas producers from federal regula-

against legalized extortion. He was assert

Gas Light Co., which distributes gas in the
ST. Louis community, and the pipeline COM
pany which brings it here, are under public
regulation. But for a time the third COM
pany, which supplies the gas at the field,
was not regulated, and it's price was then
8.31 cents per thousand cubic feet. The gas
producers were brought under the Federal
Power Commission, and the price fell to 466
cents-almost one-half.
If control is wrested from the FPC, the
price will rise again. One of the ripper bills
prime movers, Senator Kerr, man with ex-
tensive oil and gas interests, admits it would
put money in his pocket. The stakes are
