, SUNDAY MORNING, JA)Z 22, 1938
Much is being heard nowadays about dol-
lars at work. What does it mean? A dollar
In a saving fund is the most simple form of
investment and is a typical dollar at work.
Any dollar that earns something for its own-
er is a working dollar. And every dollar that
earns for its owner is creating capital, credit,
business or employment for others. Money
in the bank earns interest; in securities, divi-
dends; in business, profits; in ndustry, pro-
fits and wages; in life insurance, capital, div-
idends and protection. In each instance it is
money at work. Dollars at work dig mines,
turn mill wheels, till the soil, provide employ-
ment and create profits and credits. But what
does the idle dollar do? It toils not, neither
does it spin. It has a home only, and its home
may be an old sock or a straw mattress. Nor
can it claim greater security than the work-
ing dollar. The idle dollar is out of a job,
does not work, cannot earn. In a year’s time,
in 20 years, as long as it is kept in idleness, it
will be the same old dollar; it will not have
increased a penny’s worth. Thrift and cau-
tion do not require that money be hoarded.
Billions of dollars invested during the period
' of inflation are worth a hundred cents on the
dollar today and are still working and earn-
ing. And many dollars hoarded during a pe-

riod of deflation will be lost to the hoarders
forever through fire and theft.

The Daily News stand on the Sales Tax
measure that is about to receive final action
In the Legislature has brought forth much
favorable comment since the announcement
was made Friday afternoon. And, some un-
favorable comment has been heard. That is
most usually the case. Any question that
arises always has its proponents as well as
opponents. The News stand was based on
what is believed to be a sound principle. We
did not have any favor to confer on anyone or
any slap at anyone. We believe that the prin-
ciple is wrong. The burden thus imposed is
on the small earner in a general sense be-
cause as a rule the small earner is the major-
ity purchaser. So much opposition has devel-
oped against the passage of the bill that a
meeting has been called for early this week
to take a decided step against the measure
and to initiate proper proceedings to be
placed before the legislature. This is getting
at the heart of the matter too because there
is no time to lose . . . The argument is made
by the Governor that revenue channels must
be found. We would express it differently.
Ways of reducing the state expenses must
be found. We cannot continue to drain the
pockets of the general public. They have
been drained to the last drop already. The ex-
pense must be cut. Every private business
in all the state has cut its overhead and then
cut again. The State will have to' do the
same thing. Instead of trying to find ways
to bring in revenue, the lawmakers must find
ways to bring the outgo down.
-------------o-------------
Judging from reports of yesterdays
newspapers it seems that the Railroad Com-
mission will be on the receiving end of the in-
vestigation program before long . . . Hearing
after hearing has been held regarding the
East Texas oil field and order after order has
been issued, and today, if outward appear-
ances are any criterion then we are in a big-
ger mess than at any time since the field was
discovered. It was charged in the Legisla-
ture Friday that an investigation was war-
ranted based on the fact that criminal negli-
gence had been practiced by the Commission.
This is a rather serious charge we must ad-
mit, but if such can be substantiated, then on
with the investigation. We have contended
for months that the way the oil business is
being handled in East Texas was far from be-
ing effective, so far as any satisfactory pro-
cedure is concerned. We have advocated the
creation of a board to handle the oil and gas
business of the state. This board to be made
up of the Governor, Attorney General, State

cheese, rich gravies, perhaps pie or cake.
This is only guessing, but we all know that
adult food is not baby food. And to deprive
him causes trouble. If meals are simple and
the kind he can eat, then there is no argu-
ment. But fathers do not enjoy such meals
as a rule. The evening meal should be a light
meal for very little people, and indeed for all
children.
Each mother must adjust her work and
her schedule to suit her particular case. But
it is becoming more and more the custom to
tuck the little peonle into bed early, after
their own light little supper at 5, and gradu-
ally men of family are becoming adjusted to
the new rule and are making the beat of it.

This board to act in an advisory capacity in
all matters but employ a man who knows all
about the oil and gas industry. Such a man
would cost the state a handsome sum it is
I rue, but in the light of present methods we
believe would be the most economical plan. If
the oil and gas work of the state were placed
in some such board as is here indicated, we
see no reason why there should be any dis-
satisfaction existing in any field. There has
been continuous dissatisfaction for more than
a year now. In support of this plan of hand-
ling the work the Daily News has received,
very favorable comment from many oil oper-
ators, stating that the plan or a similar one
would most probably produce a satisfactory
condition throughout the oil field area—a
condition that does not now exist, or hasn’t in
months passed prevailed.

N'JTICE
Any erroneous reflection upon the character,
standing or reputation of any person, firm or cor-
poration which may appear in the columns of The
Henderson News-Herald will bo gladly corrected
upon Its being brought to the attention ot the man-
agement.
Pneumonia occurs in persons of all ages
but is rather rare during the first year of
life. It is much more serious during the ear-
lier and later years of life than during the
middle age. The rate of incidence and death
is very high during infancy, decreasing up
to the age of 10, and then very gradually in-
creasing up to the age of 40, when it begins
to become exceedingly high.
For some reason pneumonia is much
more serious in the colored race than in the
white. It follows frequently after such con-
ditions as measles, smallpox, scarlet fever
and even after typhoid. There seems to be
good evidence that exposure to severe fa-
tigue, bad weather and to malnutrition gives
the germ of pneumonia greater opportunity
to attack.
For some years it has been believed that
hard drinkers were more likely to suffer with
pneumonia than others but this also has been
related to the fact that hard drinkers occa-
sionally lie out in the open and are exposed to
rain and freezing temperatures for long pe-
riods of time.
Modern evidence points to the fact that
crowding is an important factor in the occur-
rence of pneumonia. The disease is found
more frequently in the city than in the coun-
try and is probably more often fatal in the
city than in the country.
The chance for infection from one person
to another is much greater where people are
crowded togethi r as in trains, street cars,
theaters, motion picture houses, tenements
and under similar conditions. Under such
conditions germs pass directly from the
mouth, nose and throat of one to another.
When the germs of pneumonia attack
the lung it becomes filled with blood so that
quite soon the person begins coughing and
spitting material which contains the red
streaks shmving the presence of bood in the
lung.
The lung is, moreover, rather solid be-
cause of the presence of the material in
When the physician thumps the chest over
the lungs it gives forth the dull sound of a
solid object rather than the resonant rever-
beration of one which is full of air,
After a period of time, depending on the
severity of the condition, the lung begins to
clear up, the breathing takes place with less
difficulty. At the same time the fever goes
down.

WASHINGTON (UP)—The theory of
constructing jails and penitentiaries to re-
form prisoners instead of wreaking ven-
geance, is being worked out in the new feder-
al penal institutions.
“If prisones are supposed to make life
miserable and unproductive for the inmates,
this objective certainly has been achieved in
the old institutions,” Director Sanford Bates
of the prison bureau said in discussing the
situation.
The new northeastern penitentiary at
Lewisburg, Pa., was built to give prisoners
“another chance and a new deal,” Bates said.
The same principle is incorporated in the new
federal jail to be constructed at Sandstone,
Minn. «
“It is not enough to construct a building
on the theory that all who enter are desper-
ate and must be caged like wild beasts—for
a while and then turned loose still like wild
beasts,” J. V. Bennett assistant prison bu-
reau director, said in discussing details of the
Sandtone jail.
The Sandstone jail has been designed
to house three types of prisoners:
1. Those awaiting trial, presumably in-
nocent.
2. Those serving sentences of a year or
more.
3. Those awaiting transfer to a feder-
al penitentiary.
Segregation and classification of prison-
ers are stressed in the architecture of the
Sandstone and Lewisburg institutions.
Prisoners at Lewisburg are divided into
elevent classifications. These men are housed,
fed and given privileges and educational ad-
vantages according to their rating.
Living quarters at Sandstone provide
single rooms for young first offenders, dor-
mitories for vagrants and cells for vicious
prisoners.
Reception wings—where the prisoners
are carefully examined by doctors, dentists
and interviewed by welfare and educational
directors—in the new federal institutions are
sufficiently isolated to remove danger of con-
tagion.

Prices Are Slipping
NEW YORK — Those “good old days,”
when $2 bought an aisle seat and one simole-
on paid admission to matinees, are scramb-
ling back to 'Broadway. Even as this good
news is reaching the ears of New York’s po- <
tential visitors, producers and, managers
sharpen their knives; there is slashing right,
left and sidewise and organizations gather
to halt open warfare and establish basic
prices. Having recently predicted the re-
turn, some day, of ten-twent-thirt’ shows, it
seems now possible to prognosticate that $3
will be top price of all save a rare “class” pro-
duction or an opening night.
The Street Livens
Even the music shows, once scaled to $5.50
and $6.60 and such, are tumbling into line.
“Pardon My English,” comes into town with
a modest $3 limit. George M. Cohan, with his
new “Pigeons and People” and John Golden
with his old and successful “When Ladies
Meet” are out in front of the $2 per seat pa-
rade. You can see fair vaudeville for two-
bits per balcony and fifty cents per orches-
tra perch; the big film houses, to meet the
competition of Roxy’s Music Hall, are slash-
ing. “Flying Colors,” which opened at $4.40
is just half that price today.
Wherefore, the big street shows new
signs of life. Greater crowds move through
the arteries and the lights are bigger and
gayer than in years. There are even chimes
sounding from a beer sign.
Look Out, Hollywood
Newest of film stars, Lilian Harvey,
reaches Manhattan with slight need of intro-
duction. Film writers, gadding about Eu-
rope on their vacations, practically nominated
her for Hollywood, and went about with diz-
zy gazes in their eyes for months. Several
near duels already are in the making. A love-
ly piquant little thing, Miss Harvey found
herself padlocked in Germany during the war.
An English girl, she was interned and pick-
ed up the language. So she appeared as a
German actress in the UFA studios, although
a Britisher. She brings with her a foreign
m ike car which can buzz along at a hundred
miles without trouble. P. S.—Someone bet-
ter tip off the Hollywood traffic cops, for she
delights in clipping off distance in that time.
Partners Again
So Elizabeth Marbury and Elsie de
Wolfe (Lady Mendl) are going to be partners
in business again after all these years. Two
of New York’s most interesting personalit ies.
Both over 70 now, I am informed. Miss Mar-
bury is, quite without question, one of Man-
hattan’s most versatile women. A veritable
perambulating encyclopedia, with oodles of
money and a literary agency. For a half cen-
tury they were close friends—then Miss de
Wolfe married and went to live abroad. Now
she’s reviving her old interior decorating bus-
iness. Times are like that.
Society to Blues
Speaking of Swankdom’s folk, reminds
me that the Blue Book's best contribution to
blues songs is “Teddy” Lynch, of the Green-
wich, Conn., set. She belongs to the Libby
Holman, Ethel Merman type of torch singer.
Broadway knows her as “Joan Dudley." And
now, I hear, she’s going to get her first big
break, with Beatrice Lillie offering her a nice
spot in “Walk a Little Faster.”
Random Notes
Oh yes, and the fellows who guided you
around this year’s National Automobile Show
would tell you that “color.psychologists” were
called in and that cars will match the eyes
of the pretty drivers . . . And Broadway clut-
ters with favorites who have “done time”
out in Hollywood and return to the theater.
. . . There”s Jimmy Durante back, and Lydia
Roberti, and Lupe Velez and Seymour Felix
for the “Strike Me Pink” music show.
Children Must Go To Bed Early
It is best for very little children to go to
bed early—before dinner unless you are so
situated that noon dinner suits best, and the
lighter evening meal is at 5 or 5:30, as hap-
pens in many country districts.
But right here arises a big problem.
When is daddy to se ehis children if not after
he comes home from work? He goes away
in the morning usually without time to do
more than kiss them a hurried good-bye. If
he lives near his work he may be home for a
few minutes at noon, of course, but most fa-
thers, especially in large cities, never see
their children until evening.
The older children he may see, and even
have time for a story or a romp with them
before bedtime. It is the child under 5 that
he may be a stranger to if the proper routine
of sleep is adhered to. And to put a child of
this age to bed at 6 o’clock is proper. After
he is 5, a little boy or girl should be in bed by
seven or not later than 7:30.
Many Fathers Object
I believe it is due to this problem about
fathers that so many mothers do not approve
of the early bed time. And who can blame
them? They want their little children to
know and love their daddies.
Besides if dad comes home night after
night and finds the baby in bed he is likely
to raise a rumpus and declare that this idea
of putting kids to sleep at such an hour is all
tomfoolery and nonsense.
It is right and human that a man should
know his children when they are little. He
loves them as much as their mother does.
But there is one thing to remember. The
things that are best for the child (and close
to 13 hours sleep at night is one of them)
seem almost invariably to call for sacrifice
on the part of one parent or the other, or
both.
Moreover, a child’s memory when he is
older usually does not cover this earlier pe-
riod. When he is old enough to stay up a lit-
tle later, this is the time when real memory
begins. His father has plenty of time to be-
come his beloved hero and friend. Besides,
there are Sundays, too, and perhaps Satur-
day afternoon if he is working. These hard
times, like all other ill-winds, have their good
points. Men are seeing more of their fami-
lies, even if the hours so spent are full of
worry and heartaches.
Table Temptations
If the family rises late, of course, a
young child being thus assured of his full
quota of sleep, can be put to bed a
But this brings complications. He wants
to be at the table with the family where he
sees pory and beans or potatoes cooked with
