DEBATE THIRD DAY IN SENATE ON BANK AID Vote on Credit Measure Is Believed to Be Likely Late Today. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The senate has decided to talk some more before passing the GlassSteagall bill to expand federal reserve credit and currency. Today is the third of debate. If leaders succeed in obtaining a vote late in today’s session there probably will be an adjournment until Monday. The early part of next week will find the house and senate composing differences between the bills as passed. The completed legislation should reach President Herbert Hoover the latter part of the week. Several amendments—apparently none with a chance of adoption—have been offered from the senate floor. Senator Elmer Thomas ADem., Okla.) would remove the one-year restriction of loans to individual distressed banks. This individual loan provision, requiting in practice only the bank’s promissory note as collateral, was inserted to care for isolated country banks. The language of the bill limits the individual loan feature to banks of $2,000,000 capital or less, which means that all but 136 of the 7,600 federal reserve member banks may borrow on that basis without forming groups. Fewer than a dozen votes against the bill are counted in the senate by its advocates.

MIDGETS TELL WHY THEY GO ON STAGE Fifteen Little People Make Up the Company That Ike Rose Will Present at the Lyric, Starting Saturday. WHY do all midgets go on the stage? This often is asked and seldom properly answered but now we have learned the real reason and from authentic sources. Midgets—and the greatest number in America are in the company assembled and' presented by Ike Rose, opening Saturday at the Lyric, have been going on the stage from time immemorial. Back in the medieval ages kings had not only their usual court jesters but most of them had at least half a dozen midgets gathered about them at all times. These kings, we are informed, all had what is termed by scientists as

a superiority complex and the fact that the midgets were around always accentuated the king’s greatness by the very contrast. The same superiority complexes account lor the fact that Ike Rose and others who employ midgets are not only big physically but feel bigger than they really are. Ask Ike if you don’t believe this—he is big enough to admit he feels proud of himself when the midgets are around. Strange as it may seem although the managers now and the kings of old who employed midgets to raise themselves by contrast, the midgets have not been handicapped in any way by an inferiority complex, although their diminutive proportions would seem to make them so. This lack of inferiority complexes, scientists explain, is due principally to the fact that from early childhood the midgets realize their differences will tend to embarrass them among normal people, and sub-consciously they begin to form a mental perspective so that in time they have become adjusted to feel not only equal but superior to normal people in any group. Ike Rose’s Fifteen Royal Midgets are one of the three headlined at-

tractions on the stage show opening at tne Lyric Saturday. Six RKO Vaudeville acts comprise the stage bill. “Nice - Women,”, the new Universal feature picture co-starring Sidney Fox and Frances Dee, is to be the screen event. ENCORE NIGHT * TO BE OBSERVED In line with Its new policy of reviving a past talking picture success each Saturday evening, the Indiana theater will offer this week as its “Encore night” attraction Maurice Chevalier ffn “The Smiling Lieutenant.” Chevalier is supported byClaudette Colbert, Miriam Hopkins, and Charlie Ruggles. All persons who attend the final evening performance of Marlene Dietrich in “Shanghai Express” at 9 p. m., will be invited to remain witnout additional charge for the special showing of “The Smiling Lieutenant” at 11 p. m. The management has announced that it will make efforts to present those pictures which are specially requested for “Encore nights” in future weeks. “Check and Double Check,” starring Amos and Andy, was presented a week ago to open the new policy.

SOME HELP TO HEALTH FOUND IN DEPRESSION ‘Diseases of Poverty’ Slump; Other Factors Show Opposite Trend. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The general health of American citizens may prove to be better in these days of depression than in the fatter years of prosperity. Surgeon-General Hugh S. Cumming is engaged in a study of health conditions in relation—if there is any relation—to the depression. On the favorable side he lias assembled these facts: Twenty-seven state health ofllcers have reported to him that health conditions in their states are “generally favorable,” and only seven reported conditions “unfavorable in some respects.” In eighty-two cities surveyed, the death rate had decreased in the last quarter of 1931 compared to the last quarter of 1930 in sixty-four cities. Tuberculosis, pneumonia and diarrheal complaints, regarded as peculiarly “diseases of poverty,” have decreased throughout the country. Shirley W. Wynne, health commissioner of New York, has informed Cumming that “never before in history has the death rate of

Weidlar, Robert Barnett, Robert Gilbert, James Eaton, Junior Wilson, Dale Clendennon and Ralph Newby. the city been as low as during the last three months.” However, Cumming and the children's bureau of the department of labor also found some rfeems which were not so favorable, for instance: The United Hospital Fund of New York has said that “there has been little doubt in medical circles as to the adverse effect of hard times on the public health.” The possibility that the low death rate and the generally favorable health report might be due to the absence of general epidemics of diseases which have less relation to the condition of the general health —such as, for instance, the absence of a general influenza epidemic. Reports from southern states showed an increase in pellegra. Reports from industrial sections showed an increase in malnutrition. In large cities less milk is being consumed.* The number of patients treated at clinics has increased considerably. Cancer and the degenerative diseases have increased.

JAPAN WRITER DEFENDS ACTS IN MANCHURIA Nippon Is Responsible for Prosperity There, Says Town Hall Speaker. The depression, with its tremendous army of unemployed in Japan, and the demand on the part of industrialists and Liberals that the present government obtain a release of the Chinese boycott on Japanese goods, were indicated as reasons for the “blowup” in Shanghai by Yusuke Tsurumi, Japanese author and politician, before a Town Hall audience at English’s today noon. He defended Japan’s actions in Manchuria, and branded as “political” the recent actions of the present government in Japan regarding the Shanghai situation. Tsurumi clearly pointed out that Japan needs Manchuria for her raw materials and that twioe she has staked her national honor upon taking Manchuria away from enemies and returning that country to China. “China simply wanted to kick the Japanese out of Manchuria bag and baggage,” the speaker said. He contended that the Japanese people are refused migration to other countries by laws and that high protective tariffs all over the world are robbing her of a market which would relieve depression and unemployment in Japan. He found fault with the present government of Japan in the failure, at the beginning of the trouble in Manchuria, to list the abuses and
