It Seem io Me HEYWOODMOUN N r E\V YOPK J 7 Discussions of • bureaucracy" make s? range antibodies. For instance William F Borah chose the Fourth of July as an appropriate occasion to intone azalnst what he sees as "the effort to fasten a stranglehold of bureaucracy upon the people generally." To mv this seems queer language to come from a statesman w-ho was among the most eager exponents of one phase of bureaucracy which has recently passed. The gentleman from Idaho lrkes to be regarded as the chamoion of the individual in a world threatened by dictatorship from the right and left. But did he speak in favor of these same individual rights when they were imperilled oy an army of agents and when new laws created new criminals by the thousands? Senator Borah did nothing of the sort. He was a die-hard dry who was quite content to see the bill of

rights tom into fragments to please the Anti-Saloon League. During the day’s of enforcement. not so much as a single criticism of the dry’ bureaucracy ever passed the lips of this lugitive emancipator. And whose liberties is the senator concerned with now. One of the most eloquent outbursts in his address is a defense of the freedom of the press as threatened under NR A.

quick to espouse such portions of the peoples cause a will win him editorial page encomiums. He is a strong and valiant swimmer who never puts his toe into the water unless he can find a powerful current flowing in his direction. The papers of Mr. Hearst have joined the chorus of praise. Mr. Hearst says that the senator's adnrr s was a great speech. Mr. chief concern at the moment is that the taxation of the rich may prove tn be a burden which the poor will be unable to endure. a a a Aha, the Hutler Side! MR. BORAH may or may not be r the freedom of the press" for which .i Minders was used by many as a cloak to retain child labor in the newspaper industry. It was used by others to prevent the spread of organization among emploves. On all these matters Senator Borah was discreetly silent. This so-called western radical can detect the butter side of his bread from any distance up to ten thousand yards. After noting the fact that his address fell upon the Fourth of July, Senator Borah began: “Let us, therefore, take in a full breath of pure American air and speal* our minds on old-time naked Americani m naked and unashamed. Let us pay simple tribute to American patriots, to American institutions, to American character, to the flag, and to that conception of liberty and personal freedom which finds its finest expression in the Declaration of Independence, its noblest embodiment in the Constitution of the United States, and its highest practical exemplification in the daily deeds and lives of America n citizens, the real builders of American civilization.” That is a long sentence and it contains many time-tried phrases which have often served to buoy lip the hopes of men whose situation was desperate. • It was the practice of Augustus Caesar, when preparing to take over some new bloc of power,” the senator said. ‘ to deliver a eulogy on the virtues of the republic and announce his deep solicitude for the liberties and the happiness of the people." a a a Those Old Red Flannels THAT must have been a deplorable practice upon ihe part of Augustus Caesar. It must have been almost as annoying to the unemployed and the homeless as to have a United States senator assure t them that nothing should be done to relieve their lot since that would constitute bureaucracy and an invasion of the rights of the individual. William E. Borah seems to forget that at the moment misery is a little thicker than strict constitutional construction. I doubt if many will be moved to ask for a reduction in wages or a lengthening in hours in order that Mr. Borahs scruples about bureaucracy shall be appeased. In fact. I doubt if the signers of the Declaration of Independence actually believed that it was better to be regular than right. In his economic views, Mr. Borah always has made regularity his chief diety. It was merely a figure of speech when he spoke of being "naked and unashamed." Mr. Borah has no intention now and never has had any intention of taking off his hea\> woolens of party and class regularity. Ironically enough. lv is sometimes described as a radical. The only things red about the gentleman from Idaho is his underwear. iCopvrisht. 1934. by Th* Times!

Today s Science BY DAVID DIETZ

THE science of dentistry is approaching the most brilliant period of accomplishment in its historv because of the new realization of the relationship between the teeth and general health. That is the opinion of Dr. Leroy M. S. Miner, who has just completed ten years of service as dean of the Harvard university dental school. Dentistry promises to solve some of the most imporant problems in the field of medicine, according to Dr. Miner, who urges that dental schools be accorded the same opportunities for expansion which have been given to medical schools in the past. The relationship of the teeth to general health was first discovered during the World war. Dr. Miner savs. when it was found that many men in the frontline trenches, otherwise in perfect physical condition. were rendered unfit for fighting service through ailments of the teeth and mouth. a a a Dr MINER believes that dental disease is so widespread that it is impossible to hope that treatment can ever be brought to all who need it. • When any disease becomes so extensive as to effect such a large proportion of the earths inhabitants. treatment ran never be made effective because there is neither money nor manpower enough to give every one adequate treatment.” he says. Prevention alone will give the solution. •This means that we, as dentists, with the whole-hearted help of our medical brethren, must study deeply into the subject. When we commence to do so. we realize at once how little is known about tooth decay, and about those degenerative changes in the mouth associated with middle or old age. called pyorrhea.” To stimulate the necessary research, he advocates that the dental schools, in close co-operation with the medical schools, raise their standards, improve the quality and background of the men they are educating, and provide adequate facilities for the researches which are so badly needed. a a a SURGERY, after the discovery of anaesthesia, made enormous advances. Chemistry, more recently has been instrumental in revealing knowledge of vitamines, the hormones of the glands of internal secretion, enzymes and the like. “Dentistry is now entering the picture in similar fashion." Dr. Miner continues. "In the case of surgery and chemistry, there was for each a period when a no-man's land existed between them and the orthodox field of medicine. This had to be crossed before application of the newer knowledge could be made effective and before the respective groups could work together on a basis of mutual understanding. In like manner, today, there is between medicine and dentiaty a no-mans land which must be bridged before effort will be fruitful.”

‘DIVER’S SUIT’ FOR STRATOSPHERE!

Wiley Post to Make Dash Across U. S. in New Safety Garb

BY ERSKINE JOHNSON NEA Service Stiff Writer j os ANGELES. July 7.—When Wiley Post attempts his announced I j round trip dawn-dusk flight between New York and Los Angeles within the next week or so, the famous round-the-world aviation speed kmg will be seated at the controls wearing a specially constructed rubber stratosphere flying suit. Constructed to operate in the stratosphere's rarefied atmosphere, through which Post plans to speed at a rate of 350 miles an hour or more, the suit entirely encloses the pilot. It will feed oxygen to his body through an extra supercharger w hich has been installed on the Winnie Mae,, the plane in which tf’ost circled the globe in record time. In high altitudes a suit of this kind is necessary to keep the functions of the body such as they would be on the earth's surface. The special rubber suit, similar in appearance to deep sea diver’s apparel, was constructed by the Pacific Goodrich Rubber Company at Los Angeles under supervision of W. R. Hucks, technical manager, and John A. Diehl, technical engineer. If tests prove successful, it will be worn by Post in the famous Lon-don-Melbourne flying face late this summer, also.

Probably one of the first steps to protect pilots in the rarefied atmosphere of the little explored stratosphere, construction of the suit for Post points a future for army pilots who must fly open cockpit planes and may thus be able to engage in aerial combat in the stratosphere. a a a ALSO, it points to the running of commercial airliners in the stratosphere at terrific speeds, with passengers wearing similar suits. Weighing only sixteen pounds, the suit is made of rubberized balloon silk, doubled on the bias to eliminate stretching. It contains approximately six yards of this material, fabricated at the Akron, 0., plant of the Goodrich company. Metal appointments, made by Lowell Peters of Los Angeles, include an aluminum shroud, or headgear, which weighs approximately Vi pounds, and a duralumin belt. Pigskin gloves, specially made, and ordinary rubber boots complete the outfit. 000 THE suit was designed to operate under a differential pressure of ten pounds to the square inch, and the fabric has a bursting strength of fifty pounds to the square inch. This permits a safety factor of five to one. All seams in the suit are cemented and taped on both sides, with the exception of the gloves, which are sewed. The tape used is the same as that employed in construction of gas cells in giant dirigibles, such as the Macon.

The DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen WASHINGTON, July 7.—lt is not often that a man gets a chance to correct a major mistake or takes that chance when it is given him. jßut visiting Haiti today President Roosevelt has gone out of his way to make a delicate acknowledgment of a previous mistake. When he was assistant secretary of the navy in 1915, his marines occupied Haiti. In addition to this they rewrote the Haitian constitution. It contained a provision permitting foreigners to own large tracts of land—presumbly opening the way for American exploitation. The new’ constitution aroused great antipathy in Haiti, obviously was going to be rejected. But again American marines, under the immediate command of General Smedley Butler, and presumably with the knowledge of the navy department, locked the doors of the Haitian parliament, let no one out until the constitution w’as passed. Whether young Franklin Roosevelt was directly responsible for this, no one definitely knew. Some blamed the state department, some blamed the navy.

However, in a speech at Butte, Mont., while running for the vice-presidency in 1920, Roosevelt boasted of writing the Haitian Constitution. Now an older and wiser man, he is taking the marines out of Haiti, is materially modifying American financial supervision, and today went out of his way to pay his respects to the Haitian people. a a a A fundamental tenet of the New Deal is co-operative effort. Some of the new dealers, however, are frequently weak on team play. Take, for example, this episode: When the Darrow board accused the NRA of fostering monopoly in the cement industry by permitting use of the basing-point freight rate system and by price fixing,- General Johnson let out a roar of violent denial. Yet. the very next day, Secretary of War Dern hotly turned down bids on 400.000 barrels of cement for the Ft. Peck dam project in Montana, on the ground that the prices—all quoted from the same rail head—were identical and too high. a a a THE so-called brain trust which wrote the stock market bill is jubilant over Roosevelt's appointment of the new stock market board. In the first place, they got four firm believers in stock market regulation on the board instead of three—which they had expected. In the second place, they are delighted with the appointment of Joseph P. Kennedy as the fifth man. Kennedy, a close friend of the President's, was saying good-by to him just before he sailed for the West Indies. ••Joe." said the President, “the boys up on Wall Street are going to expect you to be safe and conservative. But I'm expecting you to be the most radical member of the board. - ’ There are three other reasons why Kennedy's appointment pleases the brain trust. 1. He is fair and a straightshooter. 2. Knowing Wall Street as he does, he should be a real asset in probing beneath the surface, talking turkey to the money-boys. 3. No man outside the White House is going to be so refulgently in the limelight during ttie six months until congress convenes. This is because senate progressives are planning to keep an eagle eye on him. If he is not as “radical" as Roosevelt demands, his confirmation is going to be hard sledding. And what senate progressives chiefly are going to watch is whether he litters the stock market board with Wall Street friends in the guise of “experts." a m a THERE is one obscure man in the capital who rivals Franklin Roosevelt and Jack Gamer in

"It might be explained,” says Technical Manager Hucks, "that the stratosphere pressure falls to approximately five pounds to the square inch in place of the 14.7 pounds to the square inch at sea level. "In this rubber suit, receiving air from the plane's suprecharger, a pressure of not more than fifteen pounds will be supplied. This provides a ten-pound safety differential." 000 Explaining what would happen if a pilot attempted to enter the stratosphere without such equipment as he and Diehl have designed and constructed, Hucks continues: "Flying in the stratosphere' is just the opposite of deep sea diving. After being under the sea, the diver must ascend gradually. In high altitudes a suit of this kind is essential, so functions of the body will remain such as they would on the earth. "With the possibility that the internal organs of the body may burst, causing death or serious injury, the stratosphere expands these organs to several times their normal size, due to the presence of internal pressure." While the temperature in the stratosphere may be 50 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, the temperature within the suit will be approximately 90 degrees, or blood heat. Bleeder or relief valves in the side of the boots will permit a small flow of air circulation to the pilot for comfort, and there is an auxiliary tube to the suit to carry

receiving the curious glances of the crowd. Passing by, they whisper: “No, it couldn’t be." “Are you sure?” “No, he’s in California.” They are looking at F. R. Leonard, clerk in the department of commerce. He resembles Herbert Hoover. a a a WASHINGTON boasts the country's third best pet cemetery, where, under marble markers, are buried dogs, cats, horses, parrots, and one canary. Fee for the cheapest burial is $lO. Ambassador Hugh Wallace, on the death of a beloved German Shepherd, summoned an undertaker and sent the dog to “Aspin Hill” in a specially prepared coffin to be buried with a formality that cost SSOO. . . . Farmers visiting the capital have a friendly feeling for the department of agriculture—until they get tangled in its maze of personnel. Do they want to see the undersecretary, the assistant to the secretary, the secretary to the secretary, the as-. sistant to the undersecretary, the secretary' to the undersecretary, or the special assistant to the secretary? . New Jersey's representative, “Ike” Bachrach. has two brothers. Benjamin and Harry. At one time each of the three was president of an Atlantic City bank. . . .

CORN CROP IS CALLED ‘BEST’ ‘Never Saw It Look Better/ Farm Editor Writes; Wheat Also Good. The weather may have been most unpleasant for city dwellers recently, but it has been splendid for their country cousins’ crops. For that, you may take the word of E. C. Faust, Indiana Farm Bureau official and editor of The Hoosier Farmer. “Crops are in excellent condition,” Mr. Faust said today. “I never saw the corn crop look any better at this time of year. “Reports from where thrashing is going on indicate a good wheat yield. I'd say it was a yield of from twenty to thirty-five bushels an acre. It’s good quality, too. “Almost all of it No. 2 and quite a lot of it is No. 1.” The oats crop, at first believed virtually wiped out by the early summer drought, is short one-third to one-half. In the northern, and particularly northwestern, portion of the state, chinch bugs have attacked the crops, but the central and south sections have not been menaced seriously by these pests. DR.

SUCH a movie as "The Life of Vergie Winters” puts the question up to every one who sees it—ls it an immoral picture? It so happens that there is no other way in which this story of Louis Bromfield as brought to the screen may be considered.

Plainly, this is a story of how’ a woman illegally, but truthfully, loved a married man and became the mother of his illegitimate child. This theme is not new in

fiction, stage or screen, but Bromfield placed his "heroine” in a small town b a c k g round where gossips kill with their tongues. The girl is Vergie Winters, a small town milliner, who was true to one man. although she never married him. The man is John

Miss Harding

Shadwell as played by John Boles. Vergie is played by Ann Harding. Vergie’s selfish and foolish father planted a “lie” which resulted in John marrying a society girl, Laura (Helen Vinson), who never loved him. From then on the story is concerned w’ith the splendid, human devotion of Vergie for John Shadwell as he becomes a political power. In contrast is the cool, ambitious and luxury-loving wife of Shadw'ell. By deception, Shadwell adopts legally his own illegitimate daughter. As the child becomes a lovely young lady, interest then shifts to the effect that this girl’s discovery of her parentage will have on her future.

because a load of 125 pounds tends to pull at this part of the suit, enough to jerk it off with tremendous force. The rubber boots which complete the outfit provide most of the sixteen pound total weight of the stratosphere flying suit. Post has said that he will wear nothing but llama wool underwear beneath the suit.

ALWAYS in the background is the protection and love of her real mother, Vergie Winters. When things become complicated Mrs. Shadwell shoots her husband in Vergie Winter’s rooms. I suppose that' no author or director could pass up the opportunity of allowing Vergie to suffer some more so send her to prison for a crime she doesn’t commit. After being in prison a year, Vergie Winters is released and given into the care of her own daughter as Mrs. Shadwell had made a dying confession. This unpleasant, emotional story has been intrusted .to a splendid cast. Miss Harding is capable of getting every ounce of devotion and suffering out of the character. She gives a tremendously fine performance in an “immoral” role. This actress dignifies some of the extreme melodramatic bunk which has been hurled into the story by the director and the author. The work of Boles, Miss Vinson, Betty Furness, Sara Haden, Molly O'Day, Donald Crisp and many others measures up with the star. Unfortunately, here is a mixture of the effects of an immoral production with splended acting. I have given you my verdict. Take it or leave it. This picture absolutely is NOT for children.

fair Enough ffiSHUKMB NEW YORK. July 7 —Good reports are to hand regarding the conduct in office of Mr. John (Throttlebottom) Gamer, the Vice-President of the United States. When Mr. Garner was elected to this office his ethics in the job of congessman gave the citizens additional reason to pray for the health of Mr. Roosevelt. Asa member of congess. Mr. Garner had been a typical county-seat politician, and one of the leading exponents of the congressional racket of nepotism. He kept his own son on his

office pay roll although the son lived in Uvalde, Tex., and was at loss for a really convincing explanation of his son's value to the United States government in return for his salary. Up to the time of his election to the vice-presidency, in which he was carried along by Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Gamer had been the sort of politician that people had in mind when they referred to politicians and if there had been any sort of choice at all. even Mr. Roosevelt might not have been able to carry him. But there was no choice. It had to be either Mr. Charles

Curtis or Mr. Garner. They were known as excellent poker players, and the only comfort in this situation was the hope that the successful candidate for the vice-presidency never would be called upon to succeed to the presidency itself. That was a possibility almost too terrible to contemplate in view of the past performances of both Mr. Curtis and Mr. John (Throttlebottom) Garner. But Mr. Gamer seems much improved at the end of his first vear-and-somewhat in the rice-presi-dency. In the first place, he not only met., but took advantage of the ridicule which was being directed at the vice-presidency by. Mr. Victor Moore, the actor, who played the role of Alexander Throttlebottom, the Vice-President, in the political satire "Os Thee I Sing." 000 Watch Him, He's Tricky! MR. MOORE'S show-troupe went to Washington to paint their faces and give their recitations in the National theater and there was considerable trepidation among the cast and the statesmen of the capital. However. Mr. Gamer not only went to the play and roared over Mr. Moore's portrayal of Alexander Throttlebottom, but sought the acquaintance of Victor Moore. He more or less accepted the sole of Throttlebottom, bowing low to his chief, Mr. Roospvelt, and moved over to the senate to work quietly and with extraordinary efficiency as presiding officer of the most exclusive gentlemen's club in the world. The fact had been completely overlooked, except by the political experts of the Washington corps of journalists, that Mr. Garner was a great master of the tricks and short-cuts of parliamentary proceedure. This mastery enabled him to do valuable service for Mr. Roosevelt in crowding through acts of legislation without undue waste of time when the statement on the floor wished to talk on and on for the pleasure of hearing themselves talk. In modified form, he introduced some tricks of the house of representatives where the discipline is more binding and the preogatives of the members are much less liberal. Unlike Dr. Dawes in the same job, he knew how to take advantage of the rules which are as complicated as the rules of intercollegiate fotball and confer on the statesman who knows them thoroughly nn advantage over those who know’ them not so well. 000 Honest John, That's Him MR. GARNER'S conduct in the office of Throttlebottom has been an interesting contrast to that of the writing Roosevelts and the writing secretariat and the New Deal. Mr. Garner was offered SI,OOO a week to talk on the radio and wrote back to say in effect, “I am sure that nobody wants John Garner on the air at SI,OOO a week and you can not hire the Vice-President of the United States.” Another time, Mr. Gamer received a large check for an article which he had written for a magazine and sent it back with a note again insisting that John Garner W’as not worth any such price for the service involved and again pointing out that the Vice-President was not for hire to a private employer. Apparently, it all comes down to the point that John Nance Garner all along had qualities the existence of which he had given the citizens no reason to suspect. In an administration which includes numerous money-lovers who are not above chiseling off splinters of personal profit, Mr. Throttlebottom is content to live on his pay, do his work, keep a still tongue in his head and leave the wages of the radio and the writing business to professional entertainers and writers.

AS the days of summer go by, you should beware of heat exhaustion.

Whether you are enjoying yourself at the beach, on the golf course or the tennis court, you may be unaware of the effects that the heat and the activity are having upon you. Hence you may suddenly fall ill from the effects of heat exhaustion. Unless somebody in the vicinity knows just what to do, the effects may be mast serious. The first signs of heat exhaustion are giddiness, dizziness, headache and nausea, and a staggering gait when trying to w’alk. '"mce these symptoms resemble those of alcoholisrr ueart disease and several other conditions, you s) aid make certain of the exact character of the c Aurbance as soon as possible If a doctor is anywhere available, he should be called at once. a a a THE person with heat exhaustion has a skin which is pale, cold and moist. The pulse is rapid and weak, and the breathing very shallow and rapid. The pupils of the eyes are likely to be dilated. The temperature in heat exhaustion is usually below normal, although occasionally it may be siightly above 98 6. Sometimes there are spasms of the muscles in this condition. In the ordinary case, the stricken person begins to recover promptly when put flat on his back in a cool place. In rare cases and in the very severe ones there may be unconsciousness that persists, changing eventually to coma, and leading to death. This is especially true of persons who are sick of chronic diseases of the kidney or heart, or who are anemic and who develop heat exhaustion superimposed on their chronic disease. , a a a TO avoid heat exhaustion you should wear clothing that is loose, light and thin. Clothing that constricts the body at any point tends to interfere with circulation of the blood and in that way aid3 development of such disturbances. In hot weather your diet should be light, and it is better to eat small amounts frequently than large amounts all at once. You should drink plenty of fluids, because of the loss of water from the body. If you usually take from six to eight glasses of fluid daily, the amount may be increased to ten to twelve. Here again it is advisable to take small amounts of water frequently, rather than great amounts all at once.
