EW YORK, March 30.—Being myself practically a scarecrow of leanness, 1 Suppose it was just orneriness that made me go down to the “Fat Men's Shop” and tell them I wanted to write a piece about their store. The shop is way down on Third Ave. among the little dingy stores under the elevated tracks. “Do you cater "exclusively to fat men?” I asked a clerk. He said they did. “Are you the only fat men’s swore in the city?” Not only in the city, he said, but in the whole country, so far as he knew. He said there was a fat women's shop on Fourth Ave, though. The clerk said I'd better talk to Mr. Greenverger, so I went back to his desk and we talked. a Hn The store is 60 years old. Started pea: f° out as a fat men's store and is still Eh t that. A fellow named Sig Klein LER 4 started’ it. He died four years ago. Mr. Pyle Mr. Greenberger is his son-in-law. > Mr. Klein was a tall man, about 6 foot 3, but he had a waist measurement of 28 inches (same as mine). I never could get out of Mr. Greenberger just what made Mr, Klein think up a fat men's store. Mr. Greenberger himself is about as big around as a fountain pen, and there isn’t a clerk in the store who would weigh over 160. The store has customers who have beeen coming there for 30 years. The measurements of 5500 men are on file. Fifty or 60 fat meh a day enter the store. “Do you do much mail-order business?” I asked. “No,” Mr. Greenberger said. “Just from Seattle to San Diego, and Maine to Florida.” That's the way Mr. Greenberger talks all the time.
® n 5 Won't Tell Names
W O you have any customers who are famous men?” I asked. “We have customers from every walk of life. Let's put it that way,” Mr. Greenberger said. But I didn’t want to put it that way. So I said again: “Do you have any customers whose names everybody in America would know?” “Yas,” said Mr. Greenberger. “Lots of them. Bub we know them. Nobody else does.” Some clients are so sensitive they've ordered the store to leave its name off all packages, and just wrap them in plain paper. But that's the exception. As @& rule, Mr. Greenberger says, fat men are less self-conscious than we are about being skinny. When a man passes the 60-inch waistline, Mr. Greenberger says, he doesn’t care. All he wants is to be comfortable.
2 = ” 300-Pound Man “Little”
HILE I was there a man came in to get a shirt and try on a bathrobe. I expect he would weigh around 300. “He's a little man,” Mr. Greenberger said. Speaking of fat men’s shirts, that's a funny thing too. Never, in all these 60 years, has the store kert anything but white shirts. Colors or stripes not only make fat men Jook bigger, but add to their conspicuousness. But just in the last few months there has been a change. Fat men have decided to go in for loud shirts. The store gets lots of orders now for stripes and checks. “They don't want in stvle,” Mr. Greenberger says.
When I left, Mr. Greenberger gave me one of his |

WN Sune ron Monday The wind Seems to | have transferred itself from Oklahoma to Washington. I nearly blew away as I rode along the Potomac yesterday, and it was even worse this morning. On the south lawn of the White House, however, the sun seems to be shining and whether the numbers of people shield each ather I do not know, but it does not feel very cold. The people began to come before 10 this morning, and at the time my grandson Bill and I went out, walked around and spoke to people who were giving a puppet show and the band that was then playing. We also had a chance to thank all the Girl and Boy Scouts and Girl Reserves who keep order and play games With the children every year on Easter Monday. After that, my first press conference since my return took place. At 1:15 Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Miller brought Mrs. William Phillips in for lunch. Mrs. Phillips is over here for a brief two weeks to see her boys during the Easter vacation and then she returns to Italy where her husband is how our Ambassador. I took Mrs. Phillips over to see the President in his office for a few minutes after lunch and then I made my second round of the grounds. This time I spoke to the members of the boys’ band from the National Training School for Boys, which plays for a good part of the afternoon. After that, Miss Walrath, who is very much interested in a charity organization, came in to teil me something about the work which they are doing. Called “The Cradid,” it is located in Evanston, Ill. They take babies in for adoption, give them very careful care and then place them in homes. A little after 3 the President went out to greet the assembled company on the lawn. I understand at this hour some 40.000 odd people had already come in through the gates. .
PUBLIC LIBRARY PRESENTS— HEN Catherine de’ Medici came to France as the voung bride of the future Henry II, she came to a country on the brink of financial ruin. The elusive, put persistent, dream of Kingdoms in Italy and the recurring conflicts with the ‘Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire had led Francis I into enormous expendi tures which threatened to prostrate the country. The death of Henry II left Catherine to make her jong, and at the last unavailing, fight against the forces which threatened to unseat the monarchy and disrupt the country. It is the story of this struggle which Ralph Roeder tells in CATHERINE DE MEDICI AND THE LOST REVOLUTION (Viking Press). The forces which Martin Luther had set into motion found in France their expression in Calvin and the Huguenots. And the religioustebellion became inextricably bound with social and economic movements, using them and serving them in turn. The upsurge of the overtaxed and underprivileged masses, the opposi=tion between the nobility and the rising middle classes, the desperate efforts of Catherine to defend the crown against the encroachments of the aristocracy, the personal rivalries among the clergy and nobility, the shifting relationships of France with Rome, England and Spain-—all found a confused and bloody outlet in the religious wars which swept the country. In the end, the reactionaries remained in the saddle. This time the revolutionary movement exhausted itself fruitlessly, but only to break out jrresistibly 200 years later in the French Revolution, » » »

PACIFIC OCEAN'S MYSTERY ISLAND
Kingman Reef Looms as Key to Australasian Air Route
Times Special
States State Department, for
ship two years ago, Kingman Reef was officially “un-
known” until 12 years ago. Some 70 years previously Capt. John Kingman, of the American trading schooner, Shooting Star, first reported sighting a reef over which the long northeast swells of the Pacific were breaking in a general location of 163 degrees west longitude 7 degrees north latitude. For a number of years thereafter other sailing ships chanced upon shoals near the same spot. A legend grew and circulated for vears about an “isle of mystery” that rose out of the North Pacific “to plague peaceful merchantmen.” 4 n " T was not until 1921, however, that any official word was even recorded. In that year the U. S. Fagle, en route to Honolulu from Samoa, reported seeing dry land at the position of latitude 6 degrees 23 minutes north, longitude 162 degrees 18 minutes west. But nothing seems to have been done about the report, According to all Government record files, no such land existed. Certainly no map, even the most carefully prepared hydrographic

of its existence—is rising from dim obscurity to have the attention of the world focused on it as a key to America’s aerial mastery of South Pacific trade routes. A little strip of sand scarcely three feet above the high water level of the sea, 90 feet wide and 120 feet long= and a thousand miles from the nearest human habitation= Kingman Reef finally must be granted an important place on the maps of world airways as the first stopping point south of Honolulu for the giant Pan-American Clipper which last week turned its pioneer course southward to blaze the first air route to far-off Australasia. Although Pan-American engineers have been conducting weather and marine studies of it since 1934 and the United States Government confirmed claims to its owner-

As a result of this survey, the tiny island was finally recognized officially and, its existence admitted, appeared for the first time on ocean charts late in the year 1925. It was hot until 10 vears later that Washington, having so long “denied” the existence of the fisland, placed it officially under the jurisdiction of the United States Navy Department by executive order. ” ” ” OCATED 1106 miles south and west of Honolulu, Kingman Reef is considered to be in the Territory of Hawaii. Lying at almost the exact geographical center of the Pacific, it is some 35 miles from Palmyra and 500 miles from Christmas Island. The increasing importance of
possible aerial trade routes over the South Pacific likewise has directed official attention to these heretofore obscure little atolls and Great Britain has recently sent a station party to land on Christmas Island to maintain active possession for the Crown. The only spot between the Hawaiian Islands and American Samoa which offers protected wa= ters in midocean for big oceangoing seaplanes, Kingman Reef is a large horseshoe-shaped coral

By EDITORIAL RESEARCH | REPORTS NTERSTATE competition has pro- | vided the leading argument for adoption of an amendment to the | Federal Constitution granting power | to Congress to “limit, regulate and | prohibit the labor of persons under 18 years of age.” The argument has
high labor standards would exert pressure upon their legislatures for reduction of those standards so long as they were compelled to meet the competition in their own markets of products of manufacturers in other states with lower labor standards. For 13 years an amendment which would give Congress authority to apply uniform standards covering the employment of children has been awaiting ratification by threefourths of the state legislatures. The amendment has been ratified to date by 28 legislatures, but was defeated recently in the lower house of the Legislature of the State of New York-the state with the high= «St labor standards in the country. New York's defeat of the amendment removes all pussibility that ratification by 356 states can be completed this year=and probably for many years to come. Attention is now being directed, therefore, to a new means of dealing with the child labor problem proposed in bills introduced at Albany, March 1l=in the Senate hy a Democrat, and in the House by a Republican, - ® "» FE new proposal is that New York close its borders to articles and commodities produced in
other states under conditions which
would constitute a violation of New York's child labor laws if their production had taken place in New York. Since New York City and New York State constitute one of the country’s richest markets, a powerful influence would be exerted on other states to bring their own laws into conformity with those of New York. But such a state statute, in the present state of the Federal statutes, would be clearly unconstitutional, Nearly 20 years ago, June 3, 1918, the Supreme Court ruled, in its 5-to-4 decision of the first Child Labor Case, that Congress itself was without power to regulate interstate commerce in the products of child labor. In that case it invalidated a Federal statute of 1918 which sought to prohibit the transportation from state to state of the products of mines and quarries employing children under 16 and of manufacturing enterprises employing children under 14. The authority the Court denied vo Congress, it 1s not likely to concede to the Legislature of the Empire State. In a case decided Jan. 4 of this year, however, the Supreme Court appears to have opened the way for such action as is now proposed in New York. In a unanimous decision the Court upheld the AshurstSumners Act of 1935 which made it a Federal offense to ship prisonmade goods into any state in violation of the law of that state. The act also required distinctive label ing of prison products. The Court held that: “The Congress in exer-
| eising the power confided to it by
the Constitution is as free as the states to recognize the fundamental interasts of free labor.” By chang-
ing the words “prison labor” to “child labor” in various parts of the decision of Jan. 4, the Court's ruling could be made to apply with equal force to a Federal statute which forbade the shipment of child-made goods into any state in violation of the laws of that state. » » » O such Federal statute is at | present in existence, but a bill has been introduced in the lower house of Congress by Rep. Robert L. Bacon (R. N. Y.) which would prohibit and make unlawful “the transportation of goods manufactured or produced through the use, wholly or in part, of child labor, after Jan. 1, 1938, into any state having laws prohibiting the sale of such products.” The bill follows the Ashurst-
tinctive labeling of child-made goods. If the Roosevelt Administration is ready to abandon hope of early ratification of the Child J.abor Amendment and to put its strength behind some such meas. ure as the Bacon bill enactment of the legislation can be brought about within a few weeks, pave ing the way for enactment by many of the 42 state legislatures now in session of some such Measure as has been brought forward in New York. The Supreme Court's validation of the Ashurst-Sumners Act has greatly stimulated the movement for state statues barring the importation of prison-made goods. Enactment by Congress of a similar measure dealing with child-made goods. with its constitutionality virtually guaranteed in advance, would undoubtedly be followed by even greater activity in the field of child labor.

One member of the Court, commenting privately upon the Roosevelt plan, is supposed to have said that the Supreme Court itself had precipitated the attack and had only itself to blame. In reversing itself on state minimum wages for women, the Court upholds the 24-year-old state law of Washington and finds after all | that it is within the spirit of the | Federal Constitution for a state to fix such minimum wages.

DO wish the Indianapolis Symphony people would make up their minds about seating the performers on the stage, because the way things are going now, there's no telling what will turn up next. > Indeed, the way things are going now, it wouldn't surprise me one of these days to see Hermann Rinne and his drums shoved off the stage
altogether. As it was, Mr. Rinne sat way off to the
left at the last concert, which was as far as Mr. Bakaleinikoff could move him from his regular place without putting him into the wings. Certainly, Mr. Rinne deserves better treatment than that. It was that way with everybody else, too. The cello choir sat to the right of the conductor, and s0 did the bull-fiddles. Of course, the bull-fiddles had to stand, but that doesn’t invalidate my thesis. I never did find out where Mr. B. put the clarinets and oboes. This topsy=-turvy condition is one of the penalties we pay for having guest conductors, because, whether you know it or not, every guest conductor has his own notion about seating an orchestra. Thus far this season we've-had two guest conductors, which, added to Mr. Schaefer's orthodox seating, means that I've had to adjust my regular habits three (3) times this season. It's expecting too much of anybody. LJ " ”
Likes ‘Stupendous Spectacle’ TOR goodness sake, don’t misunderstand me. Guest conductors are all right as far as music is cons cerned, but most of them don't know the first thing about what the late Mr. Kiralfy liked to call “a stupendous spectacle.” Certainly, a symphony concert can't be a stupendous spectacle if you have to miss all of Moussorgsky’s prelude to the opera ‘“Kovane stchina” in order to account for Mr. Rinne and his drums, The fact of the matter is that no performance== not even a symphony concert=can be a stupendous spectacle unless you find everything in its appointed place. Barnum and Bailey, and Hanlon's “Superba,” to say nothing of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” went year after year without varying their performances by as much as a hair's breadth, and look where they landed =stupendous spectacles, every one of them. But ¢his isn't the only kick I have. I might have put up with Mr. Bakaleinikoff had he stopped with changing the performer's places. But he didn’t. He also removed the platform levels on which the pers formers sat.
» ‘That Was Too Much’ FLL, that was too much, because all that Ye= mained after that was to listen to the music. I might as well have stayed at home and listened to thes radio. To be sure, I had a vague idea that Mr. Rinne was pulling off something pretty hot in Cesar Franek’s D minor symphony, but that’s all the good it did me, because I couldn't see his hands.
It was that way, too, with Arthur Deming and his flute playing. Mr. Deming blew a right nifty tune in Tsechaikowsky’s “Romeo and Juliet,” but I didn’t have a chance to see how he did it.
If there is one thing I demand of an orchestra, it i8 to be able to see the flute players get red in the face, And 1 like to see the trumpeters and trombone players sweat, too.
A Woman's View

T has become an unforgivable social error to talk about one’s children. As a topic of conversation our infants are in the taboo class.
Yet I can remember, and so can a good many of you, when babies were the chief subject of prattie wherever two or three women were gathered together, Even the dear maiden aunts got a word in how and then. How different everything is today! If your talk veers in the direction of the nursery you may expect to be dropped from the social register, The truth is, we mothers have let ourselves be intimidated by.the childless spinsters engaged in res forths, and the efficient spinsters who know so much more than we do about business and are so numerous these days in every congregation of females. To them we have surrendered our most precious prerogative and, in trying to please, have become thoroughly subservient. “Deliver me,” said a bachelor girl, aged 55, the other day, “from the tiresome women who are fore ever talking about their children.” Such scorn was stamped on her face, she fixed me with such a glare of defiance that I literally shrunk in my shoes. Ag my feeble nod she was encouraged, and forthwith began a monologue about the peculiar bridge hands she had held last week, the trouble her maid was causing her and how difficult she was finding it to get a really trustworthy mechanic to look after her ear. Now, there's no denying of course that the average woman who is let loose inh a crowd to talk about her children ean become an intolerable bore=but no more of a bore, I insist, than one Who wants to tell us about the cute tricks of her dog and the awful time she had with her operation. Where my own children were concerned I have been patiently submissive to the conventions on this matter. But hore and now I declare myself, From this day on I intend to cut impolitely into all cons versations having to do with the club convention, opr the Pekingese or petty gossip, and regale the coms pany with the wonders of the Ferguson grandchild,

For this reason the condition is scientifically called acute ans terior poliomyelitis, The disease doubtless has attacked human beings for many centuries but it was first definitely described as an epidemic disorder in 1887. Before that time it was frequently confused with meningitis and with other forms of infection of the nervous system. Of all the diseases dread by human beings, mothers fear infantile paralysis most. It is a orip= pling condition difficult to treat, and its ravages are visible for years in many communities, Most cases of infantile paralysis involve young children. Bove and girls are affected in about equal Aumbers, Occasionally, however, infantile paralysis attacks older persons, Thus President Roosevelt and the noted physician, Dr, John Ruhrah, both were affected in middle life, The exact cause of this disease i8 not known als though there is plenty of evidence as to the nature of the infection. Thus, the disease may be transmitted from one monkey to another, from a human being to a Higiey, and guite obviously from one person to ane other, Evidently the infectious material is spread directly in secretions of the nose and throat but apparently may also be spread by human carriers, This would seem to be the case because, in many instances, it is impossible to trace a direct conneotion between the yifession wi a Shad and some person who has previe
