Nearer the Light
That there is in America a certain amount of disill-
usionment about the NRA program cannot be denied. The
scheme hasn’t brought the millenium overnight. It hasn’t
restored prosperity as fast as some of us dared to hope.
It hasn’t returned men to work at the rate we would like
to see them returning.
Nevertheless it is worth remembering that its ac-
complishments are very genuine and very much worth
while. President Green of the A. F. of L. points out for
example that there has been a 20 per cent reduction in
unemployment since March. In August fully 815000 wage
earners returned to work; the indications are that the first
part of September will show an even better percentage
of improvement.
In other words if we aren’t out of the woods yet
we are a whole lot nearer the edge than we were before.
It’s too bad that unemployment hasn’t been reduced by
more than one-fifth; on the other hand it is exceeding-
ly fine that even that much of a reduction has been made.
Lei Ihe Boy Alone
Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. now a student at Harvard
seems to be learning what an unenviable position that of
president’s son can be. John Coolidge trailed across the
Amherst campus by a secret service man some years ago
learned the same lesson and it’s not the pleasantest les-
son a youth can learn.
Young Roosevelt planned to go out for football. He
drew his uniform started out on the field—and saw
such a crew of photographers awaiting him that he turn-
ed back and surrendered his outfit. Then he decided to
try out for the crew—and again the photographers were
awaiting him. This time he threatened to punch one cam-
eraman in the nose.
It’s natural of course that the photographers should
be eager to get lots of pictures of the lad. But it’s a foul
break for the boy himself. He has a right to a normal life
at college—the pleasant obscurity that is every young un-
dergraduate’s birthright. It Isn’t fair that he should be
denied it just because his father is president of the United
States.
Let Us Know All
It needs to be emphasized again that the disclosures
of the Senate banking committee's investigation are im-l
portant not so much because they occasionally reveal
unethical actions by men in high positions but because
they give us an insight into the way in which fortunes
are piled up by men who give society very little in return
for the money which society gives them.
Currently for instance we read of a banking house i
which organized an investment trust in 1924 obtaining
for $100000 stock that later was valued on the Stock
Exchange at $36000000. We read of a banking house'
getting a $2000000 commission for selling $50000000]
worth of stock of a firm buying investment trust stocks
for 20 cents a share and selling them later on for $55.
These things of course happened in the easy money
days. It is important that we find out about them. Not
otherwise can we understand the true weakness of those
much talked-of boom times.

The World At
a Glance
By LESLIE EICHEL
Success or failure of President
Roosevelt’s national recovery plan
will lie with the farm problem.
Cities and industrial regions be-
ing concentrated will be self-help-
lul. Likewise they seldom make
much headway in congress due
to lack of leadership.
City folk are like dumb driven
sheep.
But there is a more potent reason
why success lies in the farm region
—and failure too.
The United States remains a
crop-producing country. More It
remains a nation which has to ex-
port crops in order to have pros-
perity.
• • •
NR A AND THE FARMER
A few weeks ago in one region
larmers boycjtted merchants who
did not have the Blue Eagle.
Now according to dispatches the
same fanners are boycotting mer-
chants who have Blue Eagles.
Prices of goods have gone up. Farm
prices have dropped.
That in a nutshell explains the
critical situation which the Roose-
velt administration has to meet.
• • •
WHAT TO HO?
Suppose a farmer should go to
Washington and fortunately oe
abde to discuss the matter with
the president directly.
This IMAGINARY conversation
may run something like this:
"Mr. President I’m with you all
s the way—but something more has
to be done for us farmers.”
! "Yes Mr. Parmer. In putting
more men back to work under
codes in making federal loans to
stave off mortgages in restricting
production and taxing the processor
to pay you ior that in going of:
the gold standard thus depreciat-
ing the dollar 30 or 35 cents abroad
in trying to find new markets—”
“That's all fine Mr. President
but prices of everything I buy have
gone up and prices on my own
products have dropped off some.
We can’t stand th^s. What at>ouc
inflation? What about taxing tne
rich more? What about collecting
some of those foreign debts?"
"Ah Mr. Farmer we cannot have
our cake and eat It too. If we re-
sorted to inflation the credit of
this nation might go to smash and
prices would only pyramid to crash.
If we tax production any more we
shall merely drive money away.
And if we try to collect our foreign
debts without permitting foreign
goods to enter so that money can
be earned to pay those debts then
we shall bankrupt Europe and it
never can buy your wheat."
"Then what shall you do?”
"Mr. Fanner first I am trying
this self-contained recovery pro-
gram. I am trying to unfreeze
credits to get money to moving
within our own country. I am try-
ing to restore the velocity of money
movements—which <we call good
times."
"Mr. Farmer If our self-contain-
ed program does not work there is
only one alternative as I see it.”
"What sir?”
"International understanding on
trade on credit on money. Trade
with any and every country. Goods
for goods. A great hue and cry may
be raised concerning that y may
not be re-elected if I advocate it.
But step by step I may have to
advocate It ”
That may or may not be the
president’s thought. I present .hrs
imaginary conversation however
because I believe his thought is
tending in that direction.
A WALL STREET VIEW
Wall Street sums up the fa-m
situation in the words of Carlton
A. Shively financial editor for a
New York paper: “Beyond question
the Job of general price lifting at
home the further increase m
prices that inevittably must ac-
company the processing tax in
textiles and the raising of farm
prices (fixed by nature in world
markets) is going to be a super-
man-sized Job.”
The whole problem of the gov-
ernment fas yet unsolved) is the
raising of commodity prices and
wages sufficiently above costs *o as
to create A surplus reservblr to
permit not only payment of debts
but the purchase of goods above
dire necessities.
New York is of the opinion that
a great creditor and exporting na-
tion cannot accomplish that with-
out a general interchange of trade
with the remainder of the word.
The remainder of the nation is not.
quite sure of that.

Daily Health
Talk
mammmmmm j
There has long been an argument
as to whether it Is more healthful
to live in the city than In the coun-
try.
The answer is of course the city
is more healthful for some oondl-
tions and the country for others.
However the conditions are widely
varied not only in different parts
of the country hut also in different
parts of the same county.
In review of the differences be-
tween health in the city and health
in the country. Dr. Bdgar Syden-
stricker points out that the preva-
lence of bad eyesight and of cor-
rected vision is lower among men
living in the country than among
those living in the city.
Bad teeth with decay and pyor-
rhea are more prevalent in the
country than in the city. Moreover
a man who lives in the country is
less likely to have enlarged ton-
sils or infections of the throat and
nose related to the tonsils.
• • % *
It is interesting to see the way in
which contagious disease follows
population growth. For example 67
per cent of 1000 children in the
public schools of the east side in
New York City gave positive tuber-
culin tests as contrasted with only
16 per cent among children of the
same ages selected in a northern
county of New York state.
There seems to be no question
but what there are actual differ-
ences between the living conditions
in the country and in the city which
make for similar differences in
health and in the rate of survival
from disease.
WWW
Perhaps the occupation Is large-
ly associated with these differences
but there are also possibilities of
racial differences and similar fac-
tors which have influence.
Cancer. It has been found at-
tacks the old in the country as
well as in the city. Much depends
of course on the race of the popu-
lation.
It is known that some races are
more Inclined to tuberculosis than
others that some groups tend to
have a great deal of syphilis white
other groups tend to have relative-
ly little.
It is likely that city conditions
have more of an effect on men than
on women because men are the
workers and are likely to be more
exposed to the hazards of certain
industries.

_Letter
BY PAUL HARRISON
NEW YORK.—His lantern-jawed
honor John Patrick O'Brien
hasn’t been getting about In public
lately in spite of the fact that he's
supposed to be engaged in a cam-
paign for re-election as mayor of
New York City.
It seems that he has got to brood-
ing over the bois and Bronx cheers
that shriveled his pomposity on
previous appearances such as the
last two prise fights and the NRA
parade. Thousands saluted him dis-
respectfully on all those occasions
but the parade brought forth the
most phenomental outburst of nega-
tive enthusiasms launched since the
Cherry Sisters retired from the
stage.
At the time. Mayor O'Brien seem-
ed half inclined to overlook the
sentiment and to be content with
the fact that after all this was
the greatest amount of attention
that ever had been accorded him.
Since then however his progna-
thous chin btutoned shoes and pe-
culiar little scuttling gait have
furnished no more comedy relief at
public functions.
True. John Patrick haf attended
to a few outdoor chores such as
laying a Tammany Club cornerstone
or presenting medals to the kiddies
who wrote essays on fire preven-
tion. But he doesn’t add his squat
bulk to the crush of celebrities at
iheater first nights. And when the
World Series opened at the Polo
Grounds Htzzoner sent word that
he was too busy to come up and
throw out the first ball. The fans
were disappointed. They reflected
that O'Brien's rapscallion predeces-
sor Jimmy Walker wouldnt have
acted like that. Jimmy would have
been on hand with a grin an in-
gratiating little speech and a flask
of Scotch. Had there been boo6 the
would have made the mo6t of them.

Play Doctoring
One of the best plays hereabout
is “Man in White” and it takes
place in the various departments
of a great hospital. All during re-
hearsals painstaking attention was
paid to technical details. Surgeons
were called tn to show the actors
how to flourish hypodermic needles
scalpels and the like. The cast spent
a whole day visiting a New York
hospital. All manner of medical and
laboratory’ equipment was purchas-
ed for props.
Well the other night just before
curtain time one of the actors cut
his finger very severely. Spouting
blood he stood there in what look-
ed like a fully equipped modem
hospital while 20 white-clad physi-
cians and nurses milled about in
panic not knowing what to do.
There wasn’t a drop of disinfectant
in any of the hundreds of bottles.
And It certainly wouldn’t look right
they agreed to step before the cur-
tain and ask whether there was a
doctor in the house. Finally the
wardrobe mistress brought a roll of
grauze from do'wivftairs. capably
bound up the wound and the play
went on.

let’s talk It over.**
But no—that would be Just the
thing she wouldn’t do. She would
probably think he was trying to
concoct one of those silly affairs
which bad always disgusted him.
His face grew red at the thought
and he settled into his seat more
comfortably reaching for a mag-
azine.
At the end of the half hour he
gave It up because he realized
that not one word was registering.
He was simply mooning over an
unapproachable young woman who
looked as though she could be
friendly and understanding and
yet had maintained that consist-
ent aloofness throughout two try-
ing yet strangely interesting
days.
The porter had stopped and was
gathering up his bags. "Coming
into Memphis boss.”
“On time are we?**
“Yessab. we’re right on time.**
Robert Weston reached for bis
felt hat and overcoat swung bis
scarf about his neck and moved
toward the entrance. He stopped
suddenly as the girl behind hfm
came near.
*'I beg your pardon."
Cheers. It had been a silly
ruse blocking the way. Probably
she suspected—but it had worked.
He moved aside. "Sorry." He
said it abruptly at loss to seize
opportunity now that it was pro-
sented to him. Others bad pressed
Into the narrow passage and for
a moment the girl was very close
to him.
He watched her later as she so- ^
lected her bag from the miscellan-
eous assortment outside tipped the
porter and followed in the wake
of the red cap. Having Identified
his own baggage he hurried after
her his long strides bringing him
close again as she neared the
gate.
“I beg your pardon. Did you
drop your handkerchief?”
# * •
CHE whirled resentment In her
eyes and in her voice.j
"I did not."
“I hope you don’t think—"
"It Isn’t necessary when things
are so obvious."
Then as her eyes fell on the
handkerchief in bis hand her tone
changed. "Oh" she said in confu-
sion. "It Is mine! How in the
world-?"
1 Color flew to her face. She waa
sure he was thinking that she had
invited this resorted to the old
trick.
She reached for the handker-
chief and then laughed suddenly.
"You were silly” Bob said eas-
ily. falling ln’o step. His eyes
teased.
"Surely" he went on. "a young
woman with so much worldly ex-
perience as you have evidently
had—keeping your head when
all about you men are losing
theirs as Kipling would say—’’
"Is all that extragavant speech
necessary?"
“What I mean." Bob Ignored
the remark “la that you should
be able to distinguish between the
kind of men who wouldn’t try to
meet a nice girl except through
conventional channels and—"
"Are there men like that?"
His eyes glinted with humor
but he concluded firmly "And the
type who would resort to masher
methods."
They were in the lobby now
and the girl lifted her eyes to his
frankly.
“Well as a matter-of-fact I
didn’t think you were that kind.
It was rather a disappointment to
believe you might be for a mo-
ment But It Is my handkerchief
and so I’m sorry I was -ude—"
“Don’t apologize" said Bob.
"You see I don't deserve such
kindness. I took your handker-
chief from you as you were leav-
ing the train."
"You took my handkerchief!"
Amazement in her eyes. “I think
you are perfectly outrageous."
“Of course. But it ae^mpd to^ bej
the only way. If 1 were ever to tee
you again.”
"Well you won’t?"
"Oh yea. I’ll ring every door-
bell in Memphis until I find you."
“Ours doesn’t ring.”
"Than I'll use the knocker."
The girl raised her eyes to his
regarding him coolly. She spoke
slowly "I think you are the moat
absurd person I ever met and the
most conceited to think that I—"
• • •
ITER voice broke. She turned
^ and walked swiftly toward the
stair. Her eyes were shining. A
girl with blond hair a big chap
and a delicate-looking youngster
were coming to meet her.
"Joan!" It was a chorus from
the newcomers.
“Pat Bill Benny!"
The blond girl was kissing her.
So her name was Joan! He was
following not too closely when
a voice hailed him: "Hi there.
Bob Weston! Well what do you
know abont this? What are you
doing In Memphis?"
"Duke Turner!”
They shook hands.
"Last person In the world 1
ever expected to see! Say Bob
where you stopping? Can’t I put
you up?”
"Thanks no. I have a room at
the hotel. But I’d li*ie to be with
you tomorrow. Say. Duke wait
a minute will you? There’s a girl
I want to see—”
"Well of course.”' Grinning.
Bob scanned the motor can
moving away from the curb but
the quartet he sought had disap-
peared.
"Anything Important” asked
Duke his eyes on Bob’s sober
face.
