Are there any poor agents?
OF course. There are as many

there are poor lawyers or

FAMOUS FABLES

CONCENTRATION: vio-

CONCENTRATION: Vio-
linist Mischa Elman has been
chided by his colleagues for
taking his work a wee bit
too seriously. Once, many
years ago, a friend lured him
to a burlesque house to get
his mind of the concert hall
for an evening.
AS the show unfolded, the
friend watched the violinist
out Of the corner of his eye
and observed with satiSfac-
ton that he was staring in
tently at the stage, his face
a study in concentration. Mr..
Elman was still staring when
the curtain came down for
the intermiSsion. Finally he
turned to his companion and
said:
us it really true that
Kreisler filled Carnegie Hall
three times in two weekS?"
EPITAPH: Shortly before
his death. humorist Irwin S.
Cobb requested that no epi-
taph be placed on his tomb
stone.
But why?" protested a
friend. 1.-THE sentiment will
surely be complimentary"
Exactly" agreed Cobb. II
cannot see what good is
served by advertising a line
of goods that has been per-
manently discontinued"

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
My father is 81 and has
cancer. One of the best
surgeons in our city operated

chance. Even these odds
seem inadequate. We are
thinking of contracting a man
who is supposed to have a

What do you think?

1 HAVE BEEN READING
a report in The Radiologist.
According to DR.. L. Henry
Garland of San Francisco,
Cancer quacks are those
persons who-with no, or
very meager, medical back
ground-claim that they
can treat and cure cancer
with various remedies found
by responsible, learned pro-
fessional investigators to. be
worthless.
1.-THE grave danger from a
quack lies in his treating
durable cancers with worth
less remedies until the can
GERS become incurable.
Probably more than 1000
Of these cancer cure quackS
are in existence in this coun-
try today. The United States
Food and Drug Administra-
ton estimates they are TAX
ing more than $40 million a
year from the public" MANY
families have their entire life
savings wiped out paying of
these vultures).
According to DR.. Garland,
one of the better known
"healers" is a former coal
miner who quit school in the
eighth grade. He has been IN
court more than 100 times in
the last 80 years. Further
more. the Food and Drug
Administration has waged an
unrelenting court battle
against him for the past
seven years.
1 say something's wrong
somewhere! If we allow mad
dogs to roam wild we invite
a bite!
If the Post ONCE DEPART
ment, the Federal Trade
Commission or the Food and
Drug Administration are in
effectual in protecting US
from known quacks, it's time
we devised an eff1cient
"knuckle-rapping" body that
will make the quacks run for
cover and oblivion.

DEAR DR. STEINCROHN:

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
I can remember when Dad
used to bounce me on his
knee. What a good-natured
somebody he was In those
days. Nothing was too good
for any Of us. Our home was
a cheerful place to come
home to. You never saw such
a devoted group Of children
and parents.
Then suddenly I woke up
one day, years later, to the
fact that changes have been
made" Although my father
is only so (not even old by
the Biblical promise Of TOD
he is different. There isn't
the same old affection. The
pleasant, understanding smile
is gone. In other words, only
the shell of my father is left.
To me. with a husband and
growing children of my own,
this has come as a shock. I
suppose many of your readers
have gone through a similar
experience. What causes it,
DR.. Steincrohn? Dad seems
apparently well. Speaking of
my own father I certainly
don't want to seem facetious,
but I must say that in his
case (even though he is not
a generaD he is surely but
slowly fading away"
How I wish something
could be done to bring him
back. Mrs. E.

probably felt Gas m any

comes and we grow up all of
a sudden. It's painful.

of mine. Fred is IS, not bad
looking, has a good job and
is altogether a nice, desirable
guy who claims he wants to
get married but somehow
doesn't.
My wife and I have in
troduced him to several very
nice girls. Some he has liked
and taken out quite a bit.
But the thing always winds
UP after a few weeks. The
girl says he's a gooo egg,
but not for her.
One of the girls told me
recently that he's too agrees
sive. She says that it's not
that he isn't a gentleman,
it's just that he expects a
little too much affection too
early in the relationship.
Fred R.-Girls like and ex-
pect a little affection after a
few dates. After all, I'm not
a teen-ager and don't go out
with teen-agers. What harm
is there in a little pleasant
Smoothing?
I know that I'm, no Rock
Hudson, but l do see guys a
lot homelier than I am mar
rying lovely, attractive girls.
I'm beginning to think it's
not my technique at fault,
but the girls I happen to
meet.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We don't think that to
smooch or not to smooch is
the question at stake here.
Sure, girls, like men, enjoy
affection. But If they are not
irresponsible teen-agers out
for a momentary kick or for
an item in their inventory of
experiences" they want that
affection to be the sign of an
emotion or of a sense of
mental compatibility.
We gather that Fred has a
good enough appearance and
character to attract a girl
initially., If he fails to keep
up the spark, it must be
because he doesn't attempt
to find areas of common in
terest with the girl.
Our guess is that Fred uses
Smoothing" as a substitute
for conversation. Some girls
may be willing to go along
with 1t for a time, but they
quickly realize that 1t Is no
basis for a more serious
relationship.

Surplus Labor
Areas jump

More than half Of the nations
major employment areas reported
. substantial labor surplus--un-
employment exceeding 6 percent
in January 1869.
The latest report Of the Labor
Dept's Bureau Of Employment Sc
curity, listing 76 out Of 159 ma
jor job areas in the over 6 percent
jobless category, contrasted sharp
ly with the less than one-third-45
areas - in the same classification
in January 1853.
It showed some slight improve
ment however, over the SO areas
listed by the department rs having
excessive unemployment in Novem-
Der 1868 and the 80 areas reported
in July 1868.
OF the entire list Of 149, BES
reported only three with low un-
employment. Seventy others were
classified as areas with moderate
labor surplus" indicating unem-
ployment ranging from 8 to s per-
cent.
The bureau reported also that
1873 smaller areas were classified
as having unemployment Of 6 per-
cent or over.
The report supplied new ev-
idence Of continuing and in some
places chronic unemployment de-
spite apparent pickups in other Sec
tors Of the economy.
Evan Clague, commissioner of
labor statistics in the Labor Dept,
took note of the joblessness situa-
ton in a recent speech in Washing
ton, declaring that unemployment
will not be reduced to prosperity
levels until the end of the year."
On the basis Of the seven areas
dropped from the substantial labor
surplus category between Novem-
Der and January and of interviews
with employers on future job pros
poets, BES forecast a pickup in
employment in the first three
months of 1859.
