Millstones of War
From the Revolutionary War to the end of May,
1937 ,the United States Government had paid out to
war veterans and their dependents a grand total in
benefits amounting to 22 billion dollars.
For evidence that the total hasn’t by any means
stopped rising, there are other figures showing ben-
efit payments of seven and a half million in the first
11 months of the fiscal year.
Still receiving compensation are two dependents
of veterans of the War of 1812 a daughter and a
widow. This means that 125 years after that little
scuffle with the British, we are still paying for it.
On the same basis, it will be about 100 years
before our debt to World War veterans will be nearly
liquidated. Thus, around 2037, the Nation can really
begin to feel free of the millstones strung on its neck
by the last war—providing, of course, that another
battle for democracy doesn’t pop up in the mean-
r time.

From 10 to 15 per cent of aU
people respond to the eating of
certain food substances with con-
stitutional reactions. The foods to
which they are sensitive may be
'such wholesome articles of diet as
milk, eggs or cereals or such appe-
tizing luxuries as strawberries and
shelfish.
As I have already pointed out, a
baby who is sensitive to eggs can
be made severely sick by eating an
amount of egg that is too small to
be weighed on a chemical scale. In
fact he may be made sick by a kiss
from his mother after she has just
eaten some egg. A person who is
'sensitive to honey may be made se-
verely ill not only by eating honey
but by eating a piece of candy in
which a small amount of honey
has been incorporated. A person
who is sensitive to cotton seed oil
may be prostrated by eating a bis-
cuit baked in a pan that has been
slightly greased with cotton seed
oil.
The reactions in some cases are
the eruptions that have already
been mentioned. In other cases
they consist of severe intestinal ir-
ritation with diarrhea and in still
other Instances they may be just
a feeling of illness.
Nowadays the attempt to deter-
mine the nature of such sensitiv-
ties involves some scientific detec-
tive work. Here is a story of a
typical case.

ed with an unusual swelling of the

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—There’s
nothing funny about a comedian's
job. It’s one of the toughest in
the world.
The after-dinner speaker who
gets up with a serious manner
and tells an even feebly amusing
story gets a laugh that is twice
as big as that same story would
draw if told by one who bears ths
professional label of a comic.
For the moment you are called
a comedian, people expect I you
to be funny. They take ths men-
tal attitude, “Here’s this fellow,
a professional comedian; now just
let him make us laugh.”
And that is the hardest thing
to do. In twenty years in the
theater,-1 was able to get around
to telling jokes by starting off
with a few serious strains of mu-
sic on the accordion. Then, when
I told a joke or was topped by
one of my lads in the box, it
provided the original basis of the
• unexpected.
No Warm-up
In radio and motion pictures
you do not get that opportunity
to sneak up on your cash cus-
tomers and crack a joke. You
are billed as a comedian. You
are pictured making funny faces.
When it is your turn to perform
they know you are a comedian,
good or bad, but a comedian, and
they expect you to make them
laugh in due course.
Therefore you miss the most
important part of any humor-
creating device—the build-up.
Suppose you are watching a
- movie. You see a bank president
- of serious mein sitting at his desk.
He gets up, walks over to the
water cooler, an office boy sticks
a broom between his ankles and

RAVENNA, O. (UP)—Twelve-
year-old Donald Huston, whose
duty it is to run chores on Lia
grandfather's farm near here,
has successfully trained two heif-
ers to take the place of horses.
“It was slow work,” the youth
said, “but after long, patient
training the cows began to re-
spond to ‘gid’ap’ and ‘whoa.’ ”
First step in the training was
accustoming the heifers to a bit.
After they adapted themselves to
the mouthpiece, Donald yolked
them to a farm wagon and began
to do his farm work.
Finally, the farm boy put traces
around the animals and cultivated
his grandfather’s garden. "They
still step on the beans and to-
matoes once in a while,” he said,
“but so far I haven’t had to have
anyone lead them.”
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—Hy-
pocrisy in politics—although it
is virtually universal—seldom
blooms into its quintessence more
voluptuously than at times when
a national administration insists
it is taking no part in the mayor-
alty politics of New York City.
This year’s New York fight al-
so indicates what a mess politics
is coming to, when you recall that
mayor Florello LaGuardia prob-
ably will be running on the Re-
publican, Fusion, American La-
bor Party and Communist tickets.
And that the Roosevelt adminis-
tration covertly will be working
for LaGuardia—probably openly
in case anti-administration Sena-
tor Royal S. Copeland, Tammany’s
candidate, should win in the city’s
Democratic primaries. Copeland
has also entered the Republican
primary.
Out ot Beat Copeland.
From now on there will be
emmissaries shooting in and out
of Washington with various assur-
ances that the President is sin-
cerely backing Judge Jeremiah T.
Mahoney, or that he is really be-
hind LaGuardia, whom he sees as
an important cog in the antici-
pated big progressive-conservative
split of 1940. No one will ever
suggest that there’s any chance
that the President or Farley will
whole - heartedly support Cope-
land, although some tipsters will
assert that Roosevelt will keep
hands off if Copeland becomes the
Democratic nominee.
The hottest tip this writer gets
is that Roosevelt is for LaGuardia
-------------------------------------------------------------4-------------------
he falls. Almost automatically
you laugh because it was the
last thing you expected to see—
any employee tripping the presi-
dent of a bank.
But before the office boy used
the broom, the “build-up” was
that of a serious bank executive
seated at is desk with no fore-
cast of the pending trouble.
But today a writer of mate-
rial for a comedian can just
about preface the funny situa-
tion by saying, “So and So is
running a grocery store. A cus-
tomer enters.” Then the joke
must be fast, furious and, we
comics hope, funny. But, funny
or not, it must be quick. The el-
ement of the unexpected is gone
from our lives, like the little red
schoolhouse, and I for one shed
bitter tears over its passing,
What’s Funny for a Millions”
Another handicap to the
comic of today is his inability to
make jokes about news topics of
the day. In a theater, we could
gag about the day’s headlines. In
the movies or in radio, we can-
not. In the theater if we had
2500 people listening, we were
doing very well. The screen and
radio Kae audiences running in-
to the millions. Yon do not dare
to joke ahout what the Senate
is doing for the ever-present
fenr of offending romeone. And
yet the very senators themselves
would probably appreciate the
joke than anybody.
Only a badly defeated candi-
date may be kidded about. Only
the\Rems of the news of the day
which in no way involve a na-
tional or Oven a sectional policy
can be dealt with. Thank heaven
that people still fall in love, that
they marry and even that some
wives nag their husbands. They
give us fodder for the mill.
We can jest about the foibles
of humanity, of the troubels
they have in getting jobs, in go-
ing on vacations, even in having
new babies, so long as we are
delicate. But the comic of to-
day lives in channels that are
dents as to whether Roosevelt
wanted to break up the Tammany
leadership and bring the machine
under his control, to back an-
other strong ticket so that La
Guardia could slip through to
victory by virtue of a division
of the opposition vote.
There has been much happy,
childish excitement among the
New Dealers ever since it became
known that Copeland might run.
Few anti-New Deal senators are
so distinguished as objects of ad-
ministration hatred as he. Roose-
velt made a point of laughing up-
roariously when he was asked
about the senator at a press con-
ference.
But Copeland has a big record
as a vote-getter. One of his
strongest supporters in the pres-
ent contest is Al Smith.

determined. The baby had receiv-
ed nothing but its mother’s milk
and had gained weight steadily un-
til it was three weeks old. Then
the swelling began. It lasted five
days. Later the face and the right
arm swelled.
In the next three weeks the
swelling came and went in difter-
ent portions of the body. Finally
it was decided to study the moth-
er’s diet. She lived largely on pork
and bacon," supplemented rareiy
with chicken, and the main source
of her diet was com bread and
dried white navy beans. Occasion-
ally she had potatoes, onion or
canned corn.
Scratch tests were made on the
skin cf the baby, using its moth-
er’s milk and the milk of three oth.
er mothers. The baby reacted
promptly with swelling where its
mother’s milk was injected but did i
not react to the milk of the other d.
mothers. Then the baby was tested “
with the different foods which the ’
mother had taken. The baby re-
acted promptly to extracts of
navy beans. •
The mother was put on a diet
from which beans and com were
eliminated and within 36 hours the
swelling disappeared.

and will quietly help him—or cer-
tainly not, get in his way—in any
event, whereas he would do
everything in his power to beat
Copeland. The senator “took a
walk" in the last campaign and
his wife made pep talks to Re-
publican groups, so administration
opposition will e more than a
mere reprisal based on Copeland’s
prominence in the fight against
the court plan.
Sees Court Reprisals
Copeland has no illusions. He
publicly declares that Roose-
velt is breaking up the Democratic
party and he demands a constitu-
tional amendment limiting a Pres-
ident to two terms. Although
Vice President John Gamer told
opposition senators that in ending
the court plan fight there would
be no reprisals by the administra-
tion, Copeland knows better and
is publicizing the fact that there
will be. He has made the mayor-
alty fight, although it seemed sure
to be anyway, a test of New Deal
strength in America’s largest
metropilis.
Both Copeland and his Tam-
many cohorts have begun to shout
that LaGuardia, notMahoney, la
Roosevelt’s real candidate.

Four years ago Farley, Ed Flynn
and other leaders ganged up be-

ways been a question in the minds

/Production for Use^Its
Real Meaning
The next time you hear someone talking about
“production for use,” stop .and think it over. A mo-
ment’s reflection will show you that all production
is for use, and that the phrase, unless further ex-
plained simply doesn’t mean anything.
Americans have generally believed that more
goods would be produced, and that they would be
cheaper and more widely distributed, under private
ownership and free competition than under any oth-
er system. Socialists, Communists, and various
shades of radicals believe that more goods will be
produced, and more people will be able to buy them,
under some kind of a centralized governmental sys-
tem without private profits.
But the object is precisely the same in both
cases, to produce as many goods as possible and dis-
tribute them as widely as possible. The difference is
only in the method—that is, who shall say how much
shall be produced and how it shall be distributed.
Shall public functionaries hired by the State
make the decisions and administer them, or shall the
decisions be forged out of the individual decisions of
millions of private individuals, urged on by the hope-
of private profit and curbed only by the limitations
of their own efficiency and the purchasing power of
the public?
Russia for the last 20 years has been engaged
on the first large-scale trial of the State theory.
. Whether that system will be able to outshine the
American system in the actual physical results de-
manded remains yet to be seen.
But what the American system can do, and has
done, may be seen merely by looking about. In the
wide distribution of a multitude of goods, it would
I be hard to match any other country’s achievements
against those of this country.
In an advertisement recently, one big electric
company produced some data that is very interest-
ing, pointing out how much cheaper electric light
bulbs are than they were in 1921. But in the course
E of their argument they brought in some other things
I that are even more significant.
In 1900, for instance, not one family in a hun-
dred had a horse and buggy. Yet today three out of
four families have autos. In 1900, one family in 13
had a telephone, while today every other family has
one. In 1900 fewer than 500,000 homes had electri-
city. Today 21,000,000. homes are wired, 7,000,000
have electric refrigerators, 22,0000,000 have radios.
All this means, in spite of many lamentable
shortcomings of the present system in America, it
has done a great deal toward distributing to those
, who work the fruit of their labor—that is, the goods
produced.
