You can’t help meditating along those lines when
- you have a look at the survey of “typical small-city
w life” recently made by the Department of Agricul-
r ture.
The Department studied a large number of cit-
ies and towns, and finally decided that Beaver Dam,
Wis., was just about average. Then it went through
Beaver Dam with a fine-toothed comb, trying to find
out how the citizens lived, what they earned, how
big their families were, what sort of houses they
occupied, and so on.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Th*
net result of conferences between
Roosevelt and public utility exe-
cutives is simply this: If there is
Enomn-tdenerhctfvener"of"sseeho
wood Creosote and they rank Creo-
mulsion "tops" for coughs because
you get a real dose of Creosote in
Creomulsion, emulsified so that it is
palatable, digestible, and active in
going to the very seat of the trouble.
Creomulsion is generally found
satisfactory in the treatment of
coughs, chest colds and bronchial
irritation, especially those stubborn
ones that start as just a common
cold and hang on for dreadful days
and nights thereafter. Even if other
remedies have failed, your druggist
is authorized to refund every cent of
your money if you are not satisfied
with the relief obtained from the
very first bottle of Creomulsion.
Don’t worry through another sleep-
less night—use Creomulsion.
Creomulsion is one word—not two,
and it has no hyphen in it. Ask for
it plainly, see that the name on the
bottle is Creomulsion, and you’ll get
the genuine product, and the relief
that you want. (Adv.)
No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial ir-
ritation, you can get relief now with
Creomulsion. Creomulsion not only
contains the soothing elements
common to many cough remedies,
such as Syrup of White Pine Com-
pound with Tar, and fluid extract
of Licorice Root, but it also has fluid
extract of Ipecac for its powerful
phlegm loosening effect, fluid extract
of Oascara for its mild laxative
effect, and, most important of
all, Beechwood Creosote, perfectly
blended with all of these so that it
will reach the source of the trouble
from the inside. Creomulsion can be
taken frequently and continuously
by both adults and children with
• remarkable results.
Thousands of people, who really
know their drugs, use Creomulsion
in their own families, realizing that
this excellent preparation aids na-
ture to soothe the Inflamed mucous
membranes, to heal the irritated
tissues, and to loosen and expel the

cise, vivid and accurate descrip-
tion of America’s war effort of
1917 and 1918 .
"American Armies and Battle-
fields in Europa" is the title and
the book is a revision of the firgt
edition which appeared in 1927.
It is spepsored by the American
Bnttle Monuments Commission,
of which Pershing is chairman.
The book aims to aid visitors in
the battlefield zone wtih helpf;
and practical information as to
roads, distances, trains, restau-
rants, hotels, etc., and to tell the
story of what the United Stetes
did to make the victory of 1718
a reality. Historical thruth is em-

Power Bloc Not Worried. Yet
Actually—and it explains why
Norris and Rankin aren’t shriek-
ing in protest—this is no costly
concession, in view, of all the
rest of the trouble the New Deal
administration is having with Con-
gress.
Planning must precede any act-
ual initiation and execution of
projects and the business of sets
ting up plannin gbpards and mak-
ing plans will take some time.
Much effort can be avoided and
defeat possibly averted if the *'d-
ministration accepts the milder
bill now and leaves the rest for
the future. At any rate, that’s rise

velt’s special session program.

There was a time when various Kd" V
dyes were available which were T
exceedingly poisonous. Nowadays I
these are largely under control.
However, many places which dye
the hair use preparations con-
taining parapheny lendiamine —
a product to which some people
are sensitive and to which they
may respond with eruptions that
are serious. .
Then there was the magazine which, a few
years ago, picked a typical American citizen some-
where in the Middle West. This man, like Babbtit,
was several furlongs above the $1809 average re-
vealed in Beaver Dam. He, too, was a business man.
Quite obviously, he wasn’t average at all.
Everyone has read magazine articles or heard
| speeches in which the average American family is
represented as sending its sons to college. It does
nothing of the kind. There have been erudite discus-
sions of the servant problem, in which it is blithely
I assumed that the average family employs a maid—
which, obviously, it does not. Serious thinkers have
I complanied that the average family today lives in
an apartment, which is nothing less than absurd.

to extract an ounce of dye and

But Roosevelt heard them and
called in the utility men to tell
them they were crying over un-

The President explained that
government power projects were
going to cover a very limited
field. He suggested lower elec-
tricity rates and a utility building
program to cover what he felt
would be a resultant increased de-
mand. Willkle asked modification
of the holding company act, an
end to government subeldies for
municipal power plants and cer-
tain other Poressions.
Everyone Felt Better, Anyway
The chief result appeared to be
the Roosevelt, Willkie and Car-
lisle seemed to feel better after
the conferences. (No further fed-
eral grants for municipal power
plants are contemplated. Validity
of grants previously ma‘• by

to assume either that no great
changes are being made or that
Mr. Roosevelt is successfully kid-

Norris and Rankin sponsor a
bill which would create six reg-

ministrative power to initiate and
carry out regional power, forest
and soil prelects as TVA does.
But the administration has hank-

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.— Pre-
Yuletide Sprint Note: Arrange-
ments already have been com-
pleted to feed Santa Claus on
Christmas Day in the great was-
sail hall of the Hotel McAlpin.
It is an annual feast in honor
of the multiple, Kris Kringles
who hitch their'reindeers to the
department sto • and charity
wards, and therefrom derive their
seasonal livelihood. For many
years these benevolent Santa
Clauses were left out of the con-
vivial fun on Christmas Day. And
their identities went up the chim-
ney, instead of down, when their
work was done.
Ahout three years ago, John J.
Woelflie, who runs the Me.Alpin,
thought it high time Santa Claus
was included in the holiday spirit.
So he sent out a blanket invita- ,
tion to all professional Kringles
in town and asked them in to
dine with him. He has made ti e
hanqtst an annual institution.
And so the Santas of the Toy &
Noveltv Departments are not
without n Mr. Claus of their own,
even if Mr. Woelfle doesn’t don
the traditional disguise.
Retiring Walkers
Since he became a Long Island
squire a year ago, little is seen
of Jimmy Walker or his wife, the
erstwhile Batty Compton, in
Manhattan’s after-dark clubs.
—They toad the night life infre-
quently. and when they do, it is
generally never beyond a reason-
ably early hour.
New York’s ex-mayor seems to
prefer the zanv Jack White over
all other night club entertainers.
White also was the Walker fa-
vorite court jester even while
Jimmy was entrenched at City
Hall.
Incidentally, a Sunday gazette
revived old times recently by
.splashing the news over the front
page about Walkers having turn-
ed up 20 minutes later for a wed-
ding in which he had the part
of best man!

Private power companies have
sufficient facilities to meet the
present electricity demand. Ordi-
narily the demand for electric
power increases steadily, but if
the demand will be less.
It is estimated that the utilities
will have spent about $400,000,-
000 for capital plant expansion be-
fore the end of 1937. If the reces-
sion doesn’t continue the power
companies will have to keep build-
ing next year to meet the in-
creased need for power.
Utilities Want Assurance
Best estimates here are that
the utilities might spend between
8800,000,000 and 1800,000,000
on expansion in 1938 if they 1 •
came convinced and were subse-
quently reassured that the busi-
ness curve would soon turn and
climb upward again.
Rumors that a billion and a half
dollars might be spent on ntilitv
construction—if the industry
could be Imbued with "con-
fidence” by a change of adminis-
tration power policy — seem to
have been slightly exaggerated.

The plain truth, of course, is that there is no
such animal as an average American. But there are
certain averages about the American people as a
whole, and we might as well get familiar with them.
We might thereby save ourselves from the er-
ror of selecting a prosperous upper-middle-class fam-
ily as “typical” of the entire nation; we might also

True gray hair is rare. Vast
numbers of people, however, have
hair which is of mixed-color with
the lighter hair predominating.
In most people the gray hair of
middle age comes before the
sr.ow-white hair of old age. Some
people keep the color of the hair
past SO years of age.
In some families, however,
early graying of the hair is here-
ditary. These people have gray
hair sometimes before they are
20 years old and the entire scalp
is white by 40.
Pattern of the distribution of
the gray color of the hair also
varies in different families. In
some, grayness of the hair starts
on the temples and extends to-
ward the top. In others, the beard
may whiten first. The hair dis-
tributed about the body usually
is the last to turn ‘gray. It has
been said that brunets become
gray sooner than blonds but there
are no exact figures to prove this
belief.
Sometimes gravness of the hair
may develop more rapidly after
some form of chronic illness.
From time to time it has been
suggested that the hair may turn
gray over night Marie Antoin-
ette’s hair is said to have turned
grax in the night before her ex-
ecution. While none of these
cases is authenticated, there
seem to be Instances in which the
hair will turn white over a per-
iod of several weeks or a month.
Sometimes these changes are as-
sociated with nervous, and on
Other occasions with glandular,
disturbances.

and plied between Manhattan
and Staten Islands.
And it is here that some of the surprises be-
gin to come out.
What, for example, is the average family in-
come in this country? Well, in Beaver Dam, an »v-
erage small city, it was just $1809. Two-thirds of
the people are in the wage-earning class. Eleven per
cent of them have been on relief at some time dur-
ing the last year. Home owners outnumber the rent-
ers, very slightly. Average rent paid is $20 • month.
There isn’t anything very surprising about
those revelations—until you stop to think about the
sort of man who usually passes for "the average
