tions showed a big decrease as compared with
the year before. The moral for tax-makers,
not only in Washington but in state legisla-
tures and other bodies, seems to be that in-
creased taxes do not always produce increas-
ed revenues. Beyond a certain point—which
is greatly reduced by existing economic con-
ditions—the law of diminishing returns ap-
plies. All of which emphasizes the impor-
tance of economy—the curbing of waste anil
extravagance— as a ma jor factor in the prob-
lem of balancing government budgets under
present conditions.

Studies carried on in the laboratories'
and hospital of Northwestern University
Medical School in Chicago particularly led to
the development of a preparation of mucin,
which is derived from mucous glands,
which apparently has special virtues
treatment of ulcers of the stomach.
Normally this mucin is secreted by the
glands and protects the tissue against the
acid of the stomach. Means have been devel-
oped for giving preparat ions o mfucin where
there are ulcers so that its protective quali-
ties will be available.
Some years ago it was shown that the
liver contains important substances for over-
coming pernicious anemia. That work was •
accompanied with studies of the effects of
the vitamins and of various mineral salts on
formation of the blood cells.
It seems reasonable to believe now tht
the food of infants has never been sufficient-
ly rich in iron and copper and perhaps other
mineral elements, and that for this reason in-
fants suffer promptly after birth with a spe-
cial form of anemia. Means have now been
developed for making good this deficiency.

Grandniothes Nervous Around Baby
“And now,” said the baby’s mother, “I
think I have attended to everything. I won’t
be gone more thnn a couple of hours. When
" he wakens Katie will have his dinner all
ready if ybTTWttl feed him, mother.”
“Run along and don’t worry,”
grandma.
After a while there was a sound in the
nursery. Jackie, a boy of sixteen months,
was awake. Grandma went in and began to
make a great fuss.
“Awake! Had a nice seep? What a nice
little boy to be so good! And now danny
would det up and puthim on his chair and
wash his ’ittle face an’ hannics and then det
him his nice, nice dinny.”
The baby regarded her with large seri-
ous eyes, lie knew his grandma, but some-
thing was wrong. She wasn’t generally ex-
cited like this. It looked very much as though
‘ the tables were turned, he the solemn sage
and grandma the fussy child. Poor lady—
she was merely feeling an overpowering sense
of responsibility and she was too anxious to
do things right.
Katie brought in the baby’s dinner on a
tray. Carrots and spinach put through a
sieve, a large cup of sca’ded mil’-. ! r coo’
cd, a spoonful of finely chopped chicken and
a bit of unk.jet.
Grandma set baby on one of the wooden
chairs at his table and balanced herself on the
other.
And then started the process of feeding.
“1 .just know he -won't cat.” she worried.
. “And I don't blame him. The very sight of
this unappetizing food turns me. The things
they give babies these days are terrible, I
think.”
And so to hide her nervousness, she be-
gan a running fire of coaxing and comment.
The baby was hungry at first. He opened his
mouth like a yawning cave, and spoonful af-
ter spoonful went ir>. He drank a little milk
—and then stopped. Not a third of his din-
ner was finished.
His grandma talked on and coaxed hard-
er than ever. She was very much upset that
he would not eat.
Kat'e came in and said. “I’ll feed him,
I Mrs. Jones. I can always get him to eat.”
Grandma came into the sitting-room all
I worn out. She was so nervous her hands were
' shaking as she wired her glasses. “Perhaps-
1 he'll eat for Katie." she said. “He never will

There was complete silence from the
nursery. In a few minutes Katie ce.rfie along
the buea'.ow hall leading Jackie.by the hand.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff Correspondent
MOSCOW (UP)—America’s financial
stake in Soviet economy is much larger than
the average American suspects, and the ques-
tion of the Soviet Union’s ability to pay its
new debts is not, as erroneously supposed, a
matter of relative indifference to American
investors.
One of the strangest political paradoxes
in recent yers is that the United States, met-
iculously careful to avoid contacts with the'
Soviet nation, has nevertheless become one of
the principal foreign participants in financ-
ing the Five Year Plan.
The American investment was indirect,
having reached the Russians through Ger-
many. Germany’s capacity to pay its pri- •
vate obligations will be conditioned, to some
extent at least upon the Soviet capacity to
pay its heavy debts to German banks and in-
dustrialists.
From well-informed German sources the
United Press learns that Soviet indebtedness
to Germany is estimated at two billion marks
roughly $500,000,000. About $125,000,000
of this may be checked off as advance pay-
ments on Soviet goods for future delivery,
which leaves the debts at approximately
$350,000-000, some 70 per cent of it guaran-
teed by the Reich government.
These millions, in the ultimate analysis,
came largely from the United States. They
reached Russia in the form of German-
made goods. Germany’s earnest desire that
the Soviet government prosper—at ahy rate
prosper sufficiently to ensure the steady flow
of payments—should therefore logically be
shared by American investors in Germany.
This significant, interrelation of the
three countries helps explain a distinctly new
tendency in the German attitude towards
Soviet-American relations. A few years ago
German business circles were either indiffer-
ent to Soviet-American approachment, or
frankly pleased with the anti-Soviet senti-
ment in the United States. Soviet political
circles, indeed, openly charged that some of
the sentiment was inspired from
sources. The purpose, according to
theory, was to prevent American industry
from diverting to itself Soviet orders which
otherwise fell to Geyman industry.
At present, however,.ATenrians'are rH»»re -
and more inclined to look with favor upon
the prospect of steps by the new administra-
tion in Washington to straighten out rela- 1
tions with Moscow. Access to the American
money market, they are beginning to believe, ’
would help Russia pay its debts to Germany.
In other words, competition between Ameri-
can and German manufacturers for Soviet
orders, while still a fact, is at this juncture
becoming less important than the common
German-American interest in the Soviet
Union’s financial solvency.
The Soviet Union, despite.admitted hard-
ships through the fall of prices in the world
market on agrarian products and raw mate-
rials. which form the bulk of its exports, has
not defaulted on any of its foreign obliga-
tions. Moscow's policy is clearly directed to-
wards maintaining this unbroken record,
whatever sacrifices that'may involve for its,
own population or even for the full'iilw.?;it of
its industrial plans.
Rusia’s indebtedness outside of Germany
is estimated by some foreign economists as
about $350,000,000. Confirmation of these
figures, of course, is unavailable here.
POISONING TRACED TO
REMEDIES AND FOODS
The serious hazard to the human body of
certain elements, such as thallium, radium
and mesothorium, was brought prominently
to light in 1932 by the discovery of cases of
poisoning by the use of all of these sub-
stances, taken either as such or in the form
of various salts, or sometimes in taking food
accidentally contaminated by these sub-
stances.
Thallium particularly has been used to
cause hair to fall out, and is found, at the
same time, to have serious effects on the ner-
vous system, and. if taken in sufficient quan-
tity, to produce death.

The federal government enters 1933
With a deficit of approximately $1,250,000,-
000. six more months to go before the fiscal
year is ended and recent figures showing
Uncle Sam’s red ink entry mounting at the
rate of home than $0,000,000 a day. Total
receipts for the fiscal year through Dec. 15,
,MJhl * treasury report, were $876.693,102 as
•gainst expenditures of $2,019,166,417. De-
tpite a amall gain over the preceding month,
’November revenues from the "nuisance
taxet” enacted last summer totaled only $26.-
160 000 as against estimated average month-
ly receipt* of $37,500,000. For the first five

The new science< or rather we are more
Inclined to term it the new craze, technocracy,
is occupying a lot of attention in the minds
of the inquiring at present... A new wrinkle
ha* been developed on the idea in the past
few days and that is labor saving devices for
farm work. An instance related is that a
machine has been made that will top beets in
the beet growing section and at the same
time plow them out of the ground, thereby
saving a lot of extra labor and enabling the
farmer to produce more beets at the same
coat. That’s one of the troubles with the
country now, too much machinery and too
little man-power needed to carry on our in-
dustrial activities. There was a time not so
many years ago that railroad shop work re-
quiring hundreds of men and which gave
gainful employment to them was one of the
■ sources of much revenue to the business ac-
tivities of the various communities served
by those shops . . . Now that same work can
be done by fewer dozens than then required
hundreds of men. This is because improved
machinery has been installed . . . The result
is that hundreds of men who only a few years
ago were able to support themselves and
families, pay profits to grocerymen, dry-
goodsmen. druggists and all the other busi-
ness lines are not now able to get any em-
ployment at all and they as well as their de-
pendents are on the soup lines and communi-
ty chests . . . Too ipuch machinery has done
the trick . . . We are not so hot for this “Tech-
nocracy” business.

Ferguson Snipes, of Columbia, S. C„ will go

It stands now and which will be carried out
unless Governor Blackwood of South Carolina
chooses to intervene. Mothers from all parts
of the United States have written him. peti-
tioning clemency for this 36-year-old womdn
who stands convicted of murder and awaiting
the penalty. Frankly, there seem to have
been no extenuating circumstances. Mrs.
Snipes shot and killed a policeman when that
officer attempted to arrest her husband on a
bootlegging charge. No reasonable complaint
•an be found with the courts, which took
♦heir natural course in accordance with the
laws. The real question before Governor
Blackwell now is: Will society be improved or
bettered by the execution of this woman and
the resultant placing of a life-time stain on
her child, now unborn? It is difficult to see
what society would gain thereby. A commu-
tation of the death sentence might be the
Wiser course.

Shades of Belasco
NEW YORK — I’m not quite sure just
how the late David Belasco would take to the
notion that a woman is not only at the helm
of the theater which bears his name, but also
is just about the most talked about producer
in Manhattan.
One thing is certain, if M. Belasco turns
over in his grave the incident will be accom-
panied by certain unrecorded temblors under
the earth and the glow worms will turn on
their tiny kleigs just above the surface of
the earth.
Mr. Belasco did not doubt for a moment
that women were artists—emotional supe-
riors of male performers and all the rest—
but he did like to run the show a la Belasco!
Mr. K. Cornell
But it so happens that the name of Kath-
erine Qirnell has been growing in stature, for
she is both producer and fine actress. Her
husband, Guthrie McClintic, is not such a bad
stage director himself. Yet he may live to
find himself referred to as “Katherine Cor-
nell’s husband.” Which isn’t so bad!
Popular Choice
Yet it wasn’t so many years ago that
Miss1 Cornell was loitering about the old
Greenwich Village shops, which had the Pro-
vincetown Theater as a capital, looking for
a career.
But when she appeared in Chicago with
her “Barrets of Wimpole Street,” more than
10,000 persons were standing in line. Less
than half an hour after the amazed ticket
man lifted the lid of his coop, a house seating
5,000 persons had been sold out and buyers
were worrying about a spot on the aisle a
week later.
Can’t Forget Her
If you care to go behind the scenes for a
moment—the answer is that Miss Cornell be-
came her own producer because producers for
whom she worked wouldn’t turn out on the
plays she wanted. Now she can do as she
wishes—and if she makes a fortune or loses
one, it will be up to herelf. She made a for-
tune on the “The Barrets ” and she may lose
a neat sum of her latest, “Lucrece.”
One may forget “Lucrece” as a play to-
morrow—but one is not likely to forget Kath-
erine Cornell in the role! A state of mind
which every actress seeks to reach.
Secluded Estate
One day, I recall, she told me that she
began with a “walk-on” part. The producers
wouldn’t trust her with line. She went to
the stock company of the late Jessie Bonstelle
in Buffalo. There she met McClintic, who al-
so was breaking into the show business. They
married some thirteen years ago—and still
they’re lucky.
Whereas many performers turn to colo-
nies or groups when seeking p. —"r—
dence, the McClintics took to t^.uaelves an
ancient manor in Sncedon’s Landing, obscure
and picturesque spot on the Hudson. It is a
place of old revolutionary stone houses:
about a dozen to the entire hillside.
lie’s the Boss
McClintic will not be the silent and for-
gotten man. His wife may be star and pro-
ducer, but ho is husband and director. He al-
lows no intrusion on rehearsals and has toss-
ed out very good friends of his actress-wife,
seeking to watch her.
Spinning Scene
Or to be more explicit : things happen at
rehearsals which are not seen by audiences.
Thus in “Lucrece” there is a spinning pan-
tomine engaged in by five characters. No
properties are used. They seem to be spin-
ning out of thin air. Yet, when the scene was
being rehearsed, actual wheels were used to
give the characters their proper hand prac-
tice.
“Did he eat any more?” Inquired
Grandma, anxiously.
“All gone,” answered the stolid Katie-
“Every bite.”
I ..id nothing. She was hurt and disap-
pointed. I could see. The whole trouble was
that she was nervous. Babies soon sense thp^.
Also she just knew he would not eat. Also she
I just knew he would not eat. Babies sense that-
too.
She had. been away from babies too long
to remember the things that had made her
success as a mother a generation before.
