but isn’t it possible that part of it is due to
the fact that the theater so seldom gives us a
timely, controversial play on some topic of
deep public interest?
It is not often that we get a play these
days that provokes part of the audience to
hearty cheers and part of it to lusty boos. If
we had a few more of them it is just possible
that the theatrical business would be a little
more prosperous.

ROME (UP)That the only way out of
the present economic crisis is by government
control of business and by direct government
entrance into some branches not strong
enough to support themselves was the con-
clusion approved in the recent report of the
Association of Italian corporations. The re-
port does not limit government activity in
business, but insists that the step was neces-
sary even from the viewpoint of the invest-
ing public.
“The post-war period and the needs of
liquidating its aftermath,” it states, “made
government intervention in the field of busi-
ness necessary, and this need has been accen-
tuated since 1929, leading in some cases to di-
rect or indirect control of business concerns.
“The business concerns indirectly con-
trolled by the state,” the report continued,
“fall into two groups, those administered by
the Liquidating Institute, which as its name
implies, is winding up their affairs as quickly
as possble, and those which head up to such
bodies as the Sofindit, which is the holding
company formed to facilitate the demobiliza-
tion of the industrial stocks held by the Ban-
ca Commerciale Italiana.
“With few exceptions, to be weeded out
and passed over to the Liquidating Institute,
as soon as possible, the latter are vital enter-
prises corresponding to real needs and pos-
sessing all the requisites for self-supporting
existence. As soon as circumstances allow,
they should re-acquire independence, relying
solely <41 the debenture capital they can se-
cure from the public on their own merits.”
The report, is especially emphatic on the
question of savings. It will be recalled that
in his address in Milan just before the anni-
versary celebrations of the March on Romo,
Mussolini stated that he regarded as a sacred
pledge for the government to maintain the
standard of the lira and that by so doing they
were protecting the savings of the whole of
the nation.
of her children’s pallor, their loss of appetite,
and bewildered faces was the whole unhappy
environment of their home. Not because they
had had to move and wear shabbier clothes,
not because they had had to give up their
school, or their friends.
Children adjust themselves with remark-
able ease at that age Io new surroundings.
They made other friends in the new school.
Their apartment was cozy and comfortable.
Indeed, they were still able to live on a scale
that preserved self-respect and ndrrnal home
life.
Their mother was the one who, by per-
petual grief, turned their world that should
have been a merry one intv a daily inquisi-
tion. And, of course, in time they absorbed
the idea that they must be miserable.

vessels of the skin are dilated. The feeling of
warmth after taking alcohol is an illusion. A
person is not really warmer but feels warm
because his skin is giving off more heat than
usual.
Actually, therefore, alcohol lowers the.
body temperature and it is not scientifically
right to drink alcohol during exposure to cold.
“If alcohol is to be taken,” says Doctor
Himwich, “in order to procure a feeling of
warmth and wed-being, it should be consum-
ed after exposure, and when the subject is in
a warmer environment.”
This is going to be a big disappointment
to the steady drinkers at the football games.

WHERE GRAFT IS FATAL
Not many Americans are lost in admir-
ation of Soviet Russia’s form of government.
Just the same, the Russians have one or two
little customs that occasionally stand up pret-
ty well by cdhtrast with our own.
There is for instance, the way
treats grafters.
A few days ago the cables told how six
City employes in the city of Sebastopol were
sentenced to be shot, because they took bribes
in return for granting tax favors.
This, of course, is pretty hard-boiled
treatment. But when you contrast it with
the way in which grafters in the United
States get away with their speculations —
well, it’s hard to be very greatly shocked.

DISILLUSIONED IMMIGRANTS
Stella Walsh, the brilliant athlete who
ran for Poland in the Olympic games last
year and who transferred her residence from
the United States to Poland after the games
Were over, is beginning to wonder if she did
the right thing.
Born in Poland, she had spent much of
her life in the United States when she decid-
ed, last year, to give up her chance for Amer-
ican citizenship and return to Poland. But
now she says she wants to come back to the
United States; and she remarks, “After one .
has got used to the American standard of
living, it’s hard to get used to Europe.”
A lot of immigrants from Europe have
gone back to the old country, since the de-
pression began, and one is inclined to guess
that a lot of them, if they could be interview-
ed, would express things just about as Miss
Walsh did. Times may be hard in America—
but the ordinary man still gets a better break
here than he does in the old country.

ANEMIA IN THE THEATER
The audience in an American theater is
usually about as placid a group of people as
you could find anywhere.
If the action on the stage is an unusually
exciting melodrama or an uncommonly amus-
ing farce, the audience may display some
emotion. Otherwise it is apt to sit there
quietly. It can be bored, offended, pleased or
shocked, but its emotions will find very little
expression.
Consequently, it is interesting to read
that a new play, “We, the People,” opening in
New York recently, roused its audience to ex-
treme turbulence. Wild applause alternated
with vehement hissing; almost everyone in
the theater, evidently, either liked the play
very much or disliked it very much, and lost
no time in making his feelings known.
This play was written Jt>y Elmer Rice.
Rice is something of a radical, and the play
is forthright discussion of current political,
social and economic problems. That, of
course, explains the cheers and the hisses;
and it may, too, be something for theatrical
managers and producers generally to think
•bout.
A whole lot has been written about the
decline of the theater in the last few years.
New York is full of empty theaters; the
"road.” if not dead, is at least moribund. Ci-
ties that used to support two or three the-
aters all winter long now get along with one,
•nd it is dark hslf the time. Smaller towns

GOVERNOR STANLEY C. WILSON. OF
VERMONT, SAYS:
That people who do the least whining
about the depression aro perhaps actually
hurt the most by it, and the people who do
the most whining are sometimes far from be-
ing entitled to much sympathy. Whether
we are hurt by the depression or not, we will
not get out of it any quicker by complaining.
Prosperity is bound to return. It is al-
ready on its way. When it comes we will be
too busy to do the basic work of readjust-
ment that should be done. The time to lay
the foundation for a lasting future prosper-
ity is now.
In governmental affairs we are bound to
restrict our expenditures to those endeavors
which the people can better afford to have
and pay for than to do without. No state is
justified in wasting money at any time. No
state at this time is justified in expendi-
tures that are of doubtful benefit. Govern-
ment is of use pnly when it gives real ser-
Too many people in these days look to
government to supply their needs when they
should be looking for ways by which they
may supply the needs of government. To put
it in another way, the true doctrine is that
we shoidd have a government supported by
its people rather than a people supported by
the government.
It is almost beyond comprehension that
in these enlightened days so many people
should apparently be imbued with the idea
that they can overcome the law of supply and
demand by governmental action or by stat-
ute. Demands are made on Congress and re-
ceived with actual consideration that have
not the slightest justification from an eco-
nomic standpoint. The great danger in our
governmental affairs is that too many peo-
ple in public life arc willing to stultify them-
selves by support of measures that are pure-
ly political, vote-getting propositions.

Easy Money
NEW YORK — New York still has some
inhabitants who can make money in a hur-
ry. The other day a man was speeding in
from White Plains to work when he saw, in
his little mirror, a motorcycle cop gaining on
him. He drew up to the side of the road,
pulled out a five-dollar bill and stuck it into
the mirror just as the cop stopped. Then he
said, “Good morning, officer. I’ll bet you
five dollars I’m going to get a ticket for
speeding.” “You lose,” said the officer, smil-
ing and extracting the five dollars. “Nice
day, isn’t it,” he threw over his shoulder as
he rode away.
Not So Easy Money
Adaptability and a willingness to try
anything have secured an English intellectu-
al employment, during these days when many
better prepared men are still looking. During
the la.st year, for a few weeks, he had a job
that is an unusual variation of that of the
“sandwich man.”
He got a dollar a day and carfare, to ride
in subways during rush hours, reading with
avid interest and apparent relish a book that
hasn’t had much sale. The author paid him.
One single day he made ?10 by being
what he terms “a packer’s entertainer.” This
consisted of talking in sprightly manner of
all the new books, plays and people prominent
in the nwes in London, to en eccentric mil-
lionaire wha has the hobby of doing his own
packing, while his valet hands him this and
that to put into his trunks. The eccentric de-
mands entertainment while he works and the
intellectual gave it to him for six hours
straight.
Because he wears evening things like a
Beau Brummel, he works one even a week as
platform decoration and as the man who in-
troduces various Speakers to an exclusive wo-
man’s club meeting. He always wears his
monocle and carries a stick during this em-
ployment. For three days he got a pob with
a firm down in Chinatown, during inventory,
counting wash-bowls and pitchers. Other cu-
rious bits of work he has unearthed include
peeling vegetables in a night club, for one
meal a day, being the “front” or office mana-
ger, for a “fly-by-night” firm that really op-
erated elsewhere, modelling in a man’s fash-
ion show, and conducting culture tours thi n
museums for a girls’ exclusive school.
There’s Always a Way
Inventiveness keeps one erstwhile rich
girl going these days in New York. She still
has a fine wardrobe. She has confessed
having worked out a regime for not spending
a cent, but keeping up appearances. For in-
stance, when she wants to go home from mid-
town, she walks to the Pennsylvania Station
where Wanamaker’s keep a bus waiting for
their customers. She boards it, rides to the
store, walks in the side door and out the front
to her studio apartment two blocks away. The
apartment she has kept by renting it for an
eight hour day to an artist who can’t work
at home. She allows him to keep all his par-
aphernalia there.
She is developing talent for “crashing”
literary and motion picture teas, only given
at the very smartest places. She eats sand-
wiches and coffee enough for a meal. She
knows all the best hotels’ writing rooms and
rest rooms. She has discovered that several
shows in town will give her free tickets if she
dresses up in formal evening things and
brings a man in Tuxedo. He, of course, usual-
ly buys her dinner in return.
When she wants a cigarette, she saun-
ters into some of the more exclusive depart-
ment stores or specialty shops and looks at
clothes, and casually
offered
I think it high time that we were preach-
ing a cult of happiness. There is so much
pessimism and fear in th country today, it
has already left its mark on the children.
A month or so ago a couple with two
children had to move out of their little Colo-
nial brick house on a smart street to a small
apartment in an out-of-the-way suburb. The
children are about eight and ten years old.
The young man, out of work, was quite
cheerful about it and went off to get himself
a selling job on commission. Ho did not make
much but he was a hustler and at least
brought in food. His insurance could be bor-
rowed on and that took care of rent for a
while. Really they were more fortunate in a
way than many of their friends with fewer
assets to tap.
Wife Was B (ter
But his wife was bitter and depressed.
The two little girl had had to give up pri-
vate school and music, and their friends.
Their mother, noticing their unhappy faces
getting sadder from day to day, attributed it
to the jolt of separation.
It broke her heart to see them wearing
their coats two seasons, and jihabby shoes,
and every day she said over and over again:
“You poor darlings, to think you should have
to suffer so. Your father is so blind. Can’t
he see how miserable we all are? How can
he go about whistling and smiling with his
family in such misery?”
Nights brought stormy scenes and no
care was taken to have them in private. The
girls knew about every bill that was being
dunned, there wasn't any corner of their af-
fairs they were not fully aware of. Talk of
the sheriff or constables, starvation, and that
dread word revolution, whatever that meant,
colored their lives. And about it all the tragic
face and tears of their mother. Even their
father began to look grim and desperate,
chiefly after those quarrels with his wife.

‘Moderate Drinker in No Danger’
What does alcohol do when it gets into
the human body?
Concerned only with that, single ques-
tion, a group of scientific investigators re-
cently has made available a summary of
scientific studies dealing with the effects of
alcohol on man.
They are not concerned with the social
aspects of the matter, of the relationship of
intoxication to poverty, or with the question
of brewing as a method of increasing the
value of crops.
And they have found no scientific evi
dence to prove that alcohol taken in moder-
ation ever appreciably shortened anybody’s
life.
It is well known, as Dr. H. E. Himwich
points, out, that the effects of alcohol are
greater when it is consumed on an empty
stomach. That is why cocktails are taken
before dinner. Whenever food of any kind is
in the stomach it decreases the rate of ab-
sorption of the alcohol.
Fat decreases the rate more than pro-
teins or carbohydrates. Milk is more effec-
tive than other foods in exerting this delay
in effect. For that reason cocktails like
creme de cocoa and others made with cream
have a delayed “kick”
Another important factor is the degree
to which the alcohol is diluted at the time it
is taken. The effects of beer < obtaining any-
where from one to eight per cent of alcohol
are far less than those of whisky w’ith 45 to
60 per cent.
When alcohol is taken up by the blood
from the digestive tract it goes to various or-
gans. A small part is eliminated through the
lungs, kidneys and skin, and it has even been
found in the milk of nursing mothers.
Wehn the alcohol is taken up in the body
it is oxidized and therefore provides energy.
To a certain extent it acts like an equivalent
amount of fat or carbohydrate.
On the brain, alcohol has a depressant
effect. Thus, while it makes the person less
keenly aware of his environment and there-
by enables him to escape to some extent from
worries and anxieties and self-criticism it al-
so makes his judgment less acute and inter-
feres with his mental alertness.
Small doses of alcohol may cause a slight
rise in the heart r-’te, but large doses always
lower the blood pressure and weaken the
pulse.
Whenever a person takes a dose of alco-
hol he feels a warmth and reddening of the
face which is due to the fact that the blood
