PITTSBURGH, April 27.—Dave McDonald knows more about horses than anybody I've ever met. McDonald has been a horseman all his life. Strange, too. For he was born a city
boy and his first acquaintanceship with horses came from hooking rides on ash wagons. But from then till now horses have been everything to him,
He has been owner, trainer, executive in the horse race associations, and a driver himself. He has grandchildren in- college, but . he still drives in (and wins) sulky races at the Pennsylvania fairs. His official position in life right now is superintendent of Pittsburgh’s “Bureau of Horses.” He has an office in the City-County Building. He has had the job for ‘13 years. He started with 240 city horses, and now they have him down to 110. Mr. Pyle So you see he’s fighting a losing battle, but it'll be a long time before horses are extinct in official Pittsburgh. For McDonald has built up a corps of city horses that is about the finest in the United States.
Thirty-seven of the 110 are mounts for| policemen, and the rest are work teams. His police mounts are all former race horses. His work teams are beautiful big Belgians. Every cne is a show horse, and nearly every one has taken show prizes. These police horses, to hear McDonald tell it, are smarter than the men who ride them. He has some whoppers-about their intelligence. Here's one:

Horse Finds Culprit
FEW weeks ago there was some strike trouble in 4 downtown Pittsburgh, and one rash citizen sccked another on the head with a brick. A mounted policeman saw it, and started after the guy who threw the brick. The culprit turned a corner half a block ahead of them. When the cop got to the corner he couldn't see the man. But wait. The horse (whose head got to the corner before the cop’s head) had seen the man run into a store half a block down. So the horse turns and gallops down the street, up over the sidewalk, and stops in front of this store. The cop runs in and there's the man! And there's one horse that laughs. You can go up to him and say, “Laugh now, and I'll give .you some _ candy.” And the horse will open its mouth and rear back and laugh. .

¢ w= Never Bites Anybody
PITTSBURGH police horse never bites anybody. Never kicks. Never steps on anybody. One day a baby girl ran up and put her arms around a horse’s hind leg, and hugged it. A frantic citizen rushed up and yelled, “Man, do something, the child will be killed!” McDonald just smiled and said, “Let her go ahead and hug it. That horse won't move.” McDonald says Pittsburgh's police horses are so successful because they have “good manners.” That's why he switched from West Kansas ponies to ex-race horses. For $200 he'd pick up a 3-year-old which hadn’t been quite good enough for the big-time tracks. These horses, he says, had the training and background of gentlemen. When McDonald came to the bureau there was a stack of suits and complaints a foot high on his desk. Horses were always hurting people on the streets. But in his 13 years there has been only one complaint. That's what good manners do. There’s one thing that burns McDonald up. People he meets are always saying, “Horses? Why, there aren’t any horses left, are there?” McDonald says the greatest number of horses ever in this country was 22 million. And today there are still 17 million. He declares the horse is here to stay.
Mrs.Roosevelt's Day By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
YDE PARK, N. Y., Monday—I{ was such glorious weather yesterday that I just sat in the sun and enjoyed it. I have been thinking a great deal about the peace meetings which young people held all over the country on April 22. From the letters I receive and from the talks which I have had, there is no question in my mind that young people are definitely determined to do away with war, but they really are very indefinite as to the way |in which it shall be done. I often wonder if they realize that every new form of government, fascism, communism or our own democracy, originally had for its purpose the making of a world in which people could be happy and content. As individuals, people felt helpless to accomplish their desires, and so, in different places, they were led to believe, by various types of people, that these desires could be accomplished in different ways. To the real strength of the democratic theory, in opposition to fascism or communism, is that.fascism frankly states certain people will tell other people what they shall do to be happy, and those people have nothing or little to say about it. In theory the Communists are to do everything in common. In practice a small group also tells other people what they shall do to achieve their objectives. So far, more nearly than any other form of government, the democratic form has allowed people to shape their own government. While more important leaders have arisen here and there, still, on the whole, the controls have been in the hands of the majority of the people. That, it seems to me, is more truly in keeping with the fundamental desires of the people who are groping for something which will give them security- * from war and from want, and a chance to work out their little happiness. If these young people are really going to get anywhere, they must realize that inveighing against a thing is all very well, but their future success lies in controlling democracy. Only if democracy makes individuals better able to- attain their ideals will it survive the test of today.

HE economic pattern of life in the Scandinavian countries and their achievement of security and general welfare are becoming more apparent to both laymen and students. How Denmark solved its industrial and agricultural problems through education, co-operatives and intelligent administration is the story of DEMOCRACY IN DENMARK (National Library Foundation, by Josephine Goldmark and A. H. Hollman, translated by Alice G. Brandeis. Denmark's achievement has been created, not by a system imposed by an autocratic government in which the masses are submerged to the powerful will of a minority, but by the development of individuals united to a common cause. The result has been such that while neighboring nations have been bankrupted by economic devastation and political upheavals, Denmark has reinforced its democratic government, eliminated concentration of wealth, and raised the national standard of living. And intelligence, the distinguishing mark of the general population, is the result of the Danish folk schools, which are known far and wide as Denmark’s unique contribution to education.

F the other three books planned to complete Compton Mackenzie’s long novel, “The Four Winds of Love,” are as rich in’storys and interest as the first, THE EAST WIND (Dodd), we can look forward as eagerly, perhaps, as we did for the rounding out of «The Forsyte Saga.” The century is turning as this book opens, and “John Pendarves Ogilvia, a likable youth of 17, is in public school in London. In the next year and a half the experiences of friendship, travel, study, sex, love, wide reading, and the companionship and understanding of his elders have enriched the naturally fine youth, and prepared him for a full life at Oxford, which he is just entering as the book closes. He has heen touched by the “east wind of May which shrivels the Blossom, but leaves the fruit tgpset.” |

Models Don't Go in for Wild Times, For They Can't Risk Beauty Worth $90 to $140 a Week.

By ALLAN KELLER
Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, April 27.—The girl who proved that personality lifts a model head and shoulders above the ruck of merely beautiful women is Dana Jenney,
the manikin with the amenable face. Her story skirts the fringe of Horatio Algerism but is saved from banality by her astuteness. In any one copy of Harper’s Bazaar or Vogue the camera-proof features of Dana Jenney will be found from 14 to 20 times. She poses for hats, for furs, for clothes. Her head shots are “teriffic,” a trade term indicating unalloyed excellence, and her full figure poses are photographic symbols of cosmopolitan charm, style and sartorial sangfroid.
A hat that might make a Park Avenue debutante look like a mill girl in Wheeling assumes an aura of chic upon the golden head of Dana Jenney.
Yet Dana is not beautiful. Her the uncompromising lines of a cold chisel. Her face is rather small and her eyes, though wide-set, are unyielding as steel. If these characteristics are handicaps, Miss Jenney has never let them plague her. With a deft stroke of makeup she. softens the chin line and combs her hair in a soft style that frames the small face well. Eyes cannot always be altered, so she seldom looks full into the lens and the long eyelashes, daubed with mascara, veil any hardness. Commercial photographers bid for her services. Wholesale dress houses and the exclusive stores and shops cannot get enough of her. Her appointment chart is crowded six days of the week. If she incorporated herself the stock would be bought up before it was issued.
eS ” ” ANA JENNEY fell head first into fame. Ripples are still spreading from the splash but few who watched her spring know
of the determination that rides herd on her impulses. She grew up in Mansfield, Ohio, studied fine arts at Ohio State University and was chosen the outstanding success in her graduating class. “I made up my mind I would come to New York,” she said, taking up the story, “but I also decided that I would not go Broadway. For months I flopped as a model. Then I studied makeup, the technicalities of posing and the psychology of expression, It was clear that experience and not beauty was the prerequisite. =i “My face is one that would not please the public generally. I could not do a toothpaste smile, though .there is nothing wrong with my teeth. After a while I sensed what it was that the camera did to a face, and it was all over.” Then ‘she wrote home and told her .parents she was modeling, that she had reached the top. Then, and only then. In the two years that have intervened she has broken the record for jobs in a single issue of a quality magazine, She was the first model to go to Paris and London to pose for forthcoming styles. Dana says too many girls “want to eat the cream before the crust.” That is why she turned down offers from the films and decided to get a little groundwork in the theater at the summer playhouse in Ivoryton, Conn. Miss Jenney is a joy and a pride to the parents she described as “straightlaced Yankees.”

JT is safe to say that there is less dissipation among the gorgeous creatures who pose for a living than among stenographers and housewives. One photographer explained this when he said the glamour girls found it more intriguing to be seen on magazine covers and in. the ads than in the night clubs and hot spots. “They can’t stand up in front of a,camera the next day if the night before was a stormy one,” he added.

DEHULY
All the agents who handle pretty women as a commodity said they have never had to establish moral standards. The girls do it for themselves. A good model will average from $90 to $140 a week, better pay than the stage or screen provides except for top-notchers. Perhaps to insure a continuation _of their earning power, the models pass up riotious living. Most hanikins dream of film careers. Every now and then they do “commercial shorts,” one-reel-ers for limited audiences taken in a store or at a fashion :- show. These movie bits heighten the Hollywood fever. iy A few weeks ago scouts for Walter Wanger called for the most personable manikins in town and within a few hours every studio in town was deserted. Rodney Bush could afford to be choosy and when the eliminations ended he had 10 of the most alluring and glamorous girls in the country signed up for the forthcoming “Vogues of 1938.”

INDIANA REPRESENTATIVES SPLIT ON MOVE TO DENY APPROPRIATION
By E. R. R. HE long-dormant economy issue burst upon Congress with explosive: force following President
Roosevelt's submission last Tuesday of revised budget estimates which showed that the met deficit for this fiscal year, ending June 30, will amount to $2,557,000,000, and for the fiscal year 1938—when a “layman’s balanced budget” had been expected —to $418,000,000, unless. . . - Republicans quickly seized their opportunity. A joint resolution offered in the House by Rep. John Tabor (R. N. Y.), ranking minority member of the - Appropriations Committee, called for a reduction of 10 per cent in all appropriations already made or now pending in Congress. Senator Byrnes (S. C.), an Administration leader, gave notice that he would propose a similar cut in the Senate. Senator Byrnes is prepared, further, to move that the $1,500,000,000 asked by the President for work relief during the coming fiscal year be reduced to $1,000,000,000. The President said in his reliefbudget message that he would use every means at his command to wipe out the deficit in prospect for the next fiscal year. He appealed to Congress “to join me in a determined effort to bring about that result.” He insisted that appropriations be held within his total bud-
get estimates of $7,324,000,000.
“An increase in appropriations would of course nullify our efforts to prevent a deficit in 1938,” he stated. ” 2, ” IRST tests in the House were not encouraging to the advocates of retrenchment. At the head of the calendar on the day following receipt of the President's message was an innocent-appearing measure “to create a division of water-pollution control in the United States Public Health Service, and for other purposes.” It proposed to authorize a relatively small appropriation of $1,000,000 to be expended for stygy,
in co-operation with the states, of methods of cleaning - up American waterways. Experienced legislators saw in the bill the entering wedge for future outlays that might easily equal present spending for Federalaid highways. Rep. Albert Carter (R. Cal) tried to block the bill by raising a question of consideration, but the House decided to take it up by a vote of 290
to 74. In the debate it was pointed
out that the contemplated activities had not been estimated for in the budget and that their authorization would violate the principle to which the President had asked adherence the day before. Amendments were offered to strike all appropriation features from the bill. When voted upon en bloc, they were defeated, 158 yeas to 189 nays, and economy thus lost the first round in the House.
How Indiana Congressmen voted: ° Yeas, Schulte, Halleck, Greenwood, Boehne, Larrabee, Ludlow; Nays, Pettengill, Gris--. -wold, Jenckes, Crowe, Gray; not voting, Farley.
The bill was then passed by a standing vote, 187 ayes to 121 noes.
On the next day the House took up the $927,400,000 Agricultural Appropriation Bill. When its consideration was completed, Rep. John Tabor moved to recommit the bill with instructions to add a new paragraph: “Provided that the total of the appropriations carried in this act shall be reduced by 10 per cent of such total.” This motion was rejected by a standing vote, 32 ayes to 219 noes. A demand for the “yeas and nays,” which would have put all representatives on record in a formal roll call, was seconded by only 30 members. “Not a sufficient number,” said the Speaker, “and yeas and nays are refused.” The bill then went through with a rousing voice vote. Rep. Clarence Cannon (D. Mo.), in charge of the biil, did not regard the action of: the House as “turnPCa i nd
|
ing its back on economy.” He: told the membership that a general plan of retrenchment would be presented later—to be acted upon “in an orderly way instead of upon a piecemeal basis.”
” #” 2
HE Senate Judiciary Committee made ready, meanwhile, to come to grips with another highly controversial issue. It completed hearings on the President's Supreme Court plan last Friday and is considering the bill in secret session this week. Stalled behind the Court bill in the Judiciary Committee is the Gavagan Antilynching Bill, recently passed by the House, To bring the Antilynching bill to the floor, the House first took it from the Rules Committee, by a vote of 283 to 107. It then sent the ba in the Senate by a vote of 277
On both the motion to take the bill from the Rules Committee and on the bill itself, all Indiana congressmen voted yea except congressmen who did not vote.
The longer the Supreme Court bill remains before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the easier will it be for Southern Senators to defeat the Gavagan bill by filibuster, if and when it is reported for a vote. Another House bill that faces sectional opposition in the Senate is the Pettengill (D. Ind.) bill to modify the “long-and-short-haul” clause of the Interstate Commerce Act. The bill would virtually nullify the 50-year-old rule under which railroads have been prohibited from charging less for a long haul than the aggregate of their charges for short hauls over the same route. Its purpose is to permit readjustments of railroad rates to meet motor and water carrier competition. The House sent the bill to the Senate by a vote of 269 to 119.

history of posing; Noreen Carr, the juvenile, and Phyllis Gilman, who is more at ease in lingerie than most women are in street clothes. They bustled off to try on furs to be used in the production. Upstairs in the dressing room was "Martha Heveran, the store manikin, waiting to aid in selecting ‘the correct wraps for each of the lucky 10. She modeled each coat before the choice was made, doing a workmanlike job of it with no frills. If she was envious no one guessed it. >
Mr. Bush watched her stroll up and down with the almost priceless furs, showing them off perfectly. “Youre going to Hollywood, too,” he said, as if it were the first local stop on the subway. Miss Heveran signed a contract as the 11th of the group. .

OOD commercial photographers and good artists go to extremes to get authenticity in their work. Cecelia Meagher tells a story to illustrate: “I was posing for a magazine cover for H. C. Kaufman, the artist,” she said. “It is his practice to photograph us first and then work from the photo. This one was for an April cover. I was dressed in a tweed sports outfit, and he made me get under the shower, fully dressed, so I'd really . look wet. When I jumped out he said I wasn’t wet enough and dumped a pail of water over my head.

fan on me to imitate the gusts of wind. I thought I'd freeze to death.” This striving tor artistic reality is valuable training for the models. It helped Helen Vinson, who, after a start with John Powers, was a natural for the films. Her marriage to Fred Perry, the English tennis player, didn’t detract from her box offite appeal, either,
Miss Vinson is famous as one of the best-dressed women on the screen. Whether that is a contributing factor or not, she is usually called upon to play the part of “the other woman.” She starred in “Broadway Bill,” “Private Worlds,” “Wedding Night” and “Reunion.” ‘

HE urge to make the movies is due partly to the fact that advertisers are always looking for new models. Except for the Betty McLaughlins, the Margaret Horans, the Alice Lorraines and a few other veterans who never photograph the same way twice, the models could ‘write their biographies and use “Six Years and Out” for a title. Sometimes marriage pries them from their niche, sometimes excess poundage, but usually it is that inescapable finality summed up in the words of people who stare after manikins and say— “Isn't she heautiful? I've seen her somewhere before.” Janice Jarrett is one model who didn’t mind being pointed out as the girl in the cigaret ad or the girl on the cover. She capitalized her frequent appearances and came to be known as the “most photographed girl in the world.” It was a smart move. Among other things, it brought her the attention of Melvin Purvis, the man who washed up John Dillinger, and she may do all her posing in the future for a one-man audience.

Court Liberals Lauded by Clapper on Herndon Ruling
(Another Story, Page

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer
ASHINGTON, April 27.—The Supreme Court, in spite of its four reactionary members, has again demonstrated that when intelligent and reasonable-minded men dominate, it serves our democracy well. It is the blind reactionaries on the Court who have got the Court and the country into so much trouble. A young Negro organizer for the Communist Party named Angelo Herndon was arrested in Atlanta, Ga., and convicted under an old reconstruction statute passed shortly after the Civil War. He was charged with inciting to rebellion. He got 18 to 20 years. About all that was proved on him was that he was trying to get mempers for the Communist Party, of which Comrade Earl Browder of good old Kansas, who received just 80,181 votes for President last year, is the head. They also proved that when arrested, Herndon had with him a batch of Communist literature. That was his real crime. It was the usual stuff, which is sold on the street corners in New York, about down with the boss and up with the working class, the same futile inflammatory propaganda that we have heard for years from Eugene V. Debs, Emma Goldman, and dozens of right and left wing reds.
" ” ” T is easy to understand how jurors in Georgia, where the race probblem is never quite out of mind, might grow goggle-eyed over this Communist literature. Most of them probably had never seen any of it before. But you would think that four men on the Supreme Court of the United States would have enough confidence in the foundations of democracy in this country,

greater help to the Communist cause if kept in chains than if turned loose to talk his lungs out. Sacco and Vanzetti electrocuted are world-wide Communist martyrs. Dead, they have done more for communism than they ever could have hoped to do alive. Van Devanter, McReynolds, Butler and Sutherland, the four justices ‘who wanted to keep Herndon in prison, are exactly the kind of judges that the Communists want. Van Devanter must be the answer to Comrade Browder’s prayer. Fortunately, five justices—Chief Justice Hughes and Justice Roberts joining with Justices Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo—have again contributed toward rebuilding the prestige of the Court after its recent nosedive. They have come forward to vindicate the underlying principles on which this democracy was founded. They have in effect said that the United States is not Germany Italy or Russia. - #” ” n

NDIANAPOLIS sensed the end of the horse and buggy before anybody else did. I'm sure of it, because 1 recall two men around here who played with the idea of the “horseless carriage” as early as 1890, which was a couple of years before anybody else got around to it. I'm rather hazy about one of the men, but I think his name was Reiss or Reitz or something like that. 1
guess I didn't pay much attention to him at the time. I don’t think any of us kids did, because the thing was too absurd to get excited about. Any way, we couldn't see how any normal person could want to figure out something better than horses. | 1 seem to remember, however, that Mr. Reiss had a shop on Virginia Ave., and that he had a weird notion of supplanting horses with electricity. I don’t recall how far he got with his idea, but I believe he got far enough to have an electrically-propelled carriage running on the South Side for a while. I don’t know what happened after that. For some reason, I remember the other man very much better. His name was Charles Black and he ran a carriage shop on E. Maryland St. in the bailiwick of St. Mary’s parish. It always struck me strange that a man who had spent his whole life making buggies for horses should all of a sudden get a notion of making buggies without horses, but you never could tell. Least of all, in the early Nineties. I press the point because Mr. Black actually had a gasoline buggy of his own manufacture running on the streets of Indianapolis in 1891. I saw it myself, which wasn’t so easy, because Mr. Black usually wens riding at midnight when the horses weren't looking.

No Time for Boys
O be sure, I never went riding in Mr. Black's care riage, but I can explain that, too. Mr. Black didn’t have time to fool with little boys when he had the pick of men like Ben Harrison and Tom Taggart. Mr. Black took Mr. Taggart home from work one night at the rate of 20 miles an hour, and I guess it’s the best the old buggy ever did. Mr. Black’s horseless carriage weighed 800 pounds and had everything a modern automobile has. And then some. The engine consisted of a single cylinder. The machine was steered by a small handle on a wheel, and the rear wheels had ordinary wagon brakes picked up in the carriage shop. The brakes were operated by hand.
; # Torch Was Ignition ;
HE transmission of power to the wheels was not unlike that of a belt-driven lathe, and the shift was made by switching from a large to a small pulley by means of ‘a belt finger. The ignition system was kept going with a kerosine totch, and it worked fine as long as the wind behaved. Instead of a whip, the carriage had a horn, Mr. Black thought’ of everything. You don’t have to take my word for it, because you can go to the Children’s Museum (1150 N, Meri=dian St.), and see Mr. Black’s invention in all its |pristine glory. I guess the Smithsonian Institution would give its right arm to have it. The best the Washington people can show is an eight-mile-an-‘hour car built by Elwood Haynes in 1894, which. I don’t have to tell you was three years after Mr. Black had his buggy going.
A fh A Woman's View By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
HE young college student in California who says modern women are failures at keeping house is not saying anything new. Thousands of men before him have made the same remark with the same cock=sureness, and like him they have not known what they were talking about. In housekeeping, as in any other vocation, it’s not the short journey but the long haul that counts.
8 2
| For one doesn’t learn the trick as a bookkeeper "learns his figures merely by memorizing a rule and
applying it. The proper care of a house requires the constant renewal of one’s ingenuity, imagination and strength. Today's problems are never exactly the same ‘as those of yesterday.
Our immature Californian proves his ignorance of the question when he infers that housekeeping is merely a routine matter of washing up a few dishes and wielding a broom deftly each day. Every woman - knows that these are merely the surface features, the outward gestures which conceal the real ine tricacies of a problem which is continually bewildere ing. For instance:
How can the last five dollars in the grocery budget: be stretched to buy meals for the next two days? Will it be possible to save enough on the laundry this week to have the kitchen screens repaired? By re arranging the furniture could the hole in the fronte room rug be concealed? Doris must have a pair of stockings, Dick is yelling for a baseball bat, the baby ought to have her tonsils out before long, and father has simply got to buy himself a new suit this season. While her hands and feet are occupied with the customary round of tasks, the housewife is actually wrestling with problems of larger moment—precise« ly the same kind of problems, in fact, that are pone dered by the merchant in his ‘swivel chair and the banker.in his mahogany retreat. In the long run it doesn’t make so much difference whether she gets the proper number of motions per second out of her broom or whether dust is left overtime on top of the cupboard; her real business is to make financial ends meet and present a smiling face to the family when evening comes.

UBERCULOSIS attacks all races of mankind and, indeed, all classes of human society, at all ages. It is, however, largely a disease of poverty and malnutrition. The danger of tuberculosis seems to have been steadily declining during the past half century, a result possibly due to some change in the nature of the germ of tuberculosis, perhaps also to a change that has taken place in the constitution of man. Better nutrition and general hygiene are important in stamping out this disease. With the coming of the industrial era, overcrowd« ing in factories and homes, and long hours of labor, there was a definite increase in the tuberculosis death rate. Then came the period of protection of workers, elimination of child labor, improved social hygiene, nutrition and housing. : The truly extensive knowledge we now have of tuberculosis should make its complete prevention an ultimate possibility. Yet it is not possible to stamp out overnight a disease of this character.
In the path to complete prevention, the first step is to keep children from being infected by adults with whom they come in contact. This is not so simple as it sounds. ; The individual home has largely disappeared in our great cities. Instead, we have tremendous apartment houses occupied by anywhere from three to 100 fame ilies. Here children come in contact not only with their own parents and relatives, but with a great number of other. children and other families. I would point out again that the attack cn this disease must be not only a medical but also an eco= nomic attack. Tuberculosis is a disease associated with bad hygiene. It multiplies when there is an ine sufficient amount of food, rest, sunlight, and fresh air, And a sudden drop in wages or a financial : will result in. an. -tubere
