New Deal lawyers aren’t especially worried by de-
cisions of judges in Delaware and Kentucky that
NIRA is unconstitutional because production is in-

regulated by Congress.

ghosts of dead warriors returned to view the scene
of conflict. They were the lights of a Presbyterian

where Pickett made his famous charge. He wanted
to walk over that stretch of ground where Tall George

Not all of the difference can be
ascribed to diet Housing and other
conditions no doubt affect the re-
sults. On the other hand, the die-
tetic factor must have been of im-
portance. for 80 per cent of the
poor children were found to be
seriously anemic.
Another study bearing on the
same point was recently made on
a group of school boys, aged six to
11. When these boys were given one
pint of milk, daily in addition to
their diet, they all showed mark-
ed improvement not only in gener-
al health and energy, but also in
the rate of growth both as regards
weight and height.
The moral of this consideration
is to avoid the “famine of dietetic
deficiencies," one must pay atten-
tion to diet. This implies a knowl-
edge of what constitutes a good
diet, and care to see that one ac-
tually follows it.

Those of us who follow with interest the fascmat-
ing experiences of surgeons and physicians were in-
trigued by the observation of a medico whose clientele
includes a vast number of Chiese.
"We never give a Chinese a prescription, he con-
fided "The Chinese are very strange Let one be
cured of any disorder by a specific form of medicine,
and he will purchase unbelievable quantities of it and
pass it out among the members of his tong.
"Traditionally superstitious. they look upon it as a
sort of cure-all, taking copious quantities of it for
afflictions that call for something entirely different.
For that reason we always give them the medicine
they need, or send out a prescription for it ourselves."
Another mcident of macabre interest was that of
a member at an Italian family who unwittingly caus-
ed the death of a 23-year-old son. The boy was suf-

We are not so sure but that the

of us learned to be free spenders
when times were good, and it will
be hard for us to overcome that
habit if money ever becomes plen-

Everyone wants power. Some
gam it by superior brains, some by
wealth, some by looks, some by
special skill. The boy who has only
brawn and strength to brag of, is
going to gsin his power by their
means.
The first thing to do with this
kind of boy is to stir his imagina-
tion and rouse him to using his
strength on constructive rather
than destructive effort He must
learn that to protect the weak is
preferable to oppressing them. Then
he should be tatght the rules of
fighting. A few stuff bouts of pun-
ishment from a trained boxing-
teacher will probably give him his
first taste of how the other fellow
feels. After that he should be en-
couraged to learn form in fighting,
and to take pride in his own de-
velopment of skill. Emphasis should
be laid on the rules of sportsman-
ship and fair play, and the under-
lying reasons for these rules im-
pressed upon him.
Of course if, at the same 'time,
the boy's interest* along intellec-
tual and artistic lines can also be
aroused, the cure is more easily ef-
fected He now has a position of
real superiority which he does not
have to keep propping up to feed
his seir-espect.
It is always easier to teach fair
play to a small boy than to a big

Last fall the AAA adopted a policy of suppressing
forecasts by its economists as to forthcoming boosts
in food prices as a result of drouth and AAA pro-
grams.
The idea was that such publicity would lead to
price Increases by middlemen and retailers before
those increases would otherwise occur.
The policy was dropped when Secretary Wallace
suddenly told correspondents that Louis Bean, his
chief economist, had figured out that food prices
would be 11 per cent higher in the first hal of this
year than the last half of last year, and 12 per cent
in the following six months, with a 32 per cent boost
for meat,
Abandonment of the old policy was haphazard.
Bean's figures happened to be on Wallace's desk
when the secretary didn’t have much to tell a press
conference. They had been prepared only for de-
parmental circulation. It was as if Wallace had sud-
denly said to himself: “Oh, what the heck. Let ’em
know the worst”
Somebody asked if he could suggest a cheap menu
and Wallace suggested:
"Every Wednesday, eat whatever you like."
But if you write the Bureau of Home Economics in
Wallace's department, it will send you some low-cost
diets.

Let a man seek to build up and
devote his time to discussing a con-
structive program, and he will get
scant attention. Huey Long is well
schooled in grandstand tactics, and
he knows the weakness of human
nature. By carrying on a fight, par-
ticularly with those most in the
public eye, he can keep himself in
the forefront as a topic for con-
versation, and he is losing no op-
portunity to lake advantage of the
situation. Gen. Hugh Johnson,
former NRA administrator, one of
the prime targets of the fiery Lou-
isiana senator’s warfare, is no
stranger to a fight himself, wordy
or otherwise, and the two can keep
the public listening tor a long
time.

FAVOR RATABLE GAB PURCHASES
A subcommittee of the House Gas, Oil and Mining
Committee of the Texas Legislature has recommend-
ed the ratable taking of gas aa a means of eliminating
the mstage: A approximately a billion cubic ’feet of
gas daily in the Panhandle field. A similar proposal
was turned down two years ago when the owners
of gas lands and the gas pipe line companies looked
horns with the result that land owners and indepen-
dant operators secured the passage of a law which
permitted the wastage of gas after the natural gaso-
line ntent had been extracted.
But now the pipe line companies which want an
assured reserve of gas for domestic and tndustrtat
purposes realise that some equitable arrangement
must be reached, and so does the average citezen who
la informed that millions of dollars worth of gas is
being wasted each year largely because of the .land
owners who want money now, and of the gas com-
panies which want gas at small cost. Meanwhile the
present public and future generations are the losers.

TOWNSEND PLAN DEAD
Democratic leaders declare that the Townsend plan
of old age pensions is dead, at least for the present
session of Congress. They point out that only 30
signatures have been secured so far of members to
force a vote on the pension bill which would give
8200 a month to all persons over 60 years old.
But Dr. Townsend who is pushing his plan for
overcoming most of the ills of the nation simply by
paying the old folks a handsome pension in return
for not working issti r convinced that his utopian
scheme will get the approval of Congress. He bases
his opinions on the continued organization of Town-
send clubs in many parts of the United States and
growing pressure that is being put on members of
Congress. He cited the example of Governor Mer-
riam of California who has come out tor the plan
as an indication of the growing strength
The slow progress the Townsend plan has made in
Washingon proves again that Congress isn't easily
swayed by impractical schemes, even though hun-
dreds of housands of voters'back home apparently
are in favor of them. Congressmen realize that it
doesn't take much persuasiveness to urge citizens
who would benefit from the pension scheme to be-
come highly enthusiastic over the possibilities of what
they can do with $200 a month. Congressmen also
realise that they will have a reaction from the great-
er number between the ages of 19 and 80 who must
pay the 9200 from their earnings, since money doesn’t
yet grow on trees.
The spread of the Townsend idea, and another
California scheme, the Utopians which are reported
to be growing in number*, have accomplished one
