But the rising tide along the streams from Pennsylvania to Illinois demonstrates once again the need of flood prevention methods. The action appears necessary to protect the lives of thousands "along the route and the property valued at millions.

Whether it should be the duty of the Federal government to aid in this gigantic project is another question. It might be a joint project. We all can look for an example of civic enterprise, however, to Portsmouth, while the turbulent flood waters rush by her at a level higher than the heads of the people walking along the streets. The protective wall holds "back the water and keeps the city dry. That is the work of the city alone, and it has saved the people millions in flood damage.

Dr. Morgan For Cooperation That was a conciliatory attitude which Dr. Arthur E. Morgan took when he stated his creed toward utilities as chairman of the TVA board. The statement shows his stand as one of attempted cooperation with the private utilities for the benefit of public welfare, despite the apparent showdown fight which looms between private and public ownership.

Dr. Morgan recognized this fight and cited without pulling his punches the inequalities and abuses which have grown up through private utilities, and of the bitter propaganda war which has been waged against the TVA. The director said it reached as far as the public schools and cited an attempt of the utilities to obtain his aid in teaching their gospel while president of Antioch College. Yet after citing" this situation which he deplores, he comments: "Yet, notwithstanding my own experiences and what I have learned of utility abuses, I believe that at the present time the proper attitude to take with reference to TVA power is to strive to find a basis of agreement between the TVA and the'private utilities which will protect both public and private investments, and will lead to the widest possible distribution of electric power at the lowest possible rates. I believe that only in that way can we secure the greatest sum total of social values whether under public or private administration.

Since the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority I have taken that attitude. "There are several reasons for such a position. First, 1 believe that in 1933 the utilities were greatly concerned over the general course of events, and that there was then a fair chance to find a basis for procedure which would have protected the public interest and kept open the way for public ownership, and which might have made possible a much great- advance in the TVA program. I believe that some leading utility executives are today in a mood to desire a reasonable working arrangement, and that it may be possible to arrive at a solution which wttrprotect both public and private interests and which would mark a great advance in public policy. "Aggressively liberal governments seldom have remained in power for long at a time.

If there should be another world depression during the next few years, and if the optimism of rising prosperity should change again to the depth of depression, political power might shift, and reaction might be in My attitude would be to try to establish a substantial advance in public policy while there is opportunity. For perhaps the first time in our history the electric power interest? are on the defensive. Neither utility executives nor public officials know what will be the future trend of public policy. It may turn on world-wide issues rather than on domestic causes. When neither side is sure of the future is a good time to promote intelligent reasonableness, and thereby to improve the quality of government and of public life.

"Second, during recent years there ha-s been a change in the quality of the leadership of utility companies. A greater number of more public-spirited, forward-looking men are coming into control of some of the large systems, though that change has not yet gone as far as could be desired. This change for the better is due partly to the increasing emergence in business of innate American decency, and partly'-to the fact that those who control the utilities see the handwriting on the wall, and are trying to put their house in order while there is yet time. I am for recognizing any such effort. "It is not wise to so center attention upon utility abuses as to fail to see the great achievements of the electric power industry in America.

There has been an intelligent aggressiveness in technical development and activity in the integration of-the industry which has brought about level of convenience and service. There should be honest recognition of that achievement and an effort not to lose the technical and executive ability which has brought it about." A Mirror Of World Opinion Americans. Just how interesting such study can be was demonstrated in Washington the other day by Irving Brant of tbe St. Louis Star-Times, an authority whose "Storm Over the Constitution" is kept handy. around the White House and in other important New Deal offices.

League Sidesteps Debate If it could be proved that the framers of the constitution intended to give congress the power to establish mercantile monopolies, Brant argued in a speech to-the People's Lobby, it would follow that the government had constitutional power to go far beyond anything found in. the New Deal and could even take over the economic life of the nation. No answer to Brant's effort to prove that government monopolies are constitutional is available, because the American Liberty League, which was asked to send the chairman of its lawyers' committee or somebody else to debate the point, didn't accept the invitation. Three lion was signed, Brant pointed out that James Wilson of Pennsylvania told the convention: "As to mercantile monopolies, they are already included in the power to regulate trade." Wilson was the outstanding legal scholar of his time and Washington later made him one of the original justices of the supreme court. Power Vested in Congress Brant finds further evidence in.

the fact that George Mason of Virginia gave as one reason for bis refusal to sign tbe constitution that "the congress may grant monopolies in trade and commerce." Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, also refusing to sign, complained that "under the power of commerce, monopolies may be established." James Madison, often called the constitution's "father," said that "the power to regulate commerce is indivisible and ought to be wholly under one authority." Madison also proposed in letters to AVashington and Edmund days before the constitu- I believe that of Virginia: "Let tbe national government have a negative in all cases whatsoever on the legislative acts of the states as the king oC Great Britain heretofore had. This I conceive to be essential and the least possible abridgment of the state sover- eignities." Madison further recommended that states be reduced to "the condition of counties." Alexander Hamis ton, meanwhile, was saying that states, as states, "ought to be abolished." The Family Doctor Madison Switched Sides There were seven staunch defenders of state sovereignty at the convention, Brant said, and all seven took a walk or refused to sign.

If you are limited in time, put aU the hurry in your preparation, then eat your breakfast with the tonic of tranquility.

Here are-a few first foods for the first meal of the working day. Nat and Raisin Gems (18 small ones) One cup white flour, 1 cup wholewheat flour, 3 tablespoons baking powder, 1-4 cup sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 1-4 cup seeded raisins. 1-2 cup broken nut meats, 1 egg fwell beaten), 1 cup milk, 4 tablespoons melted butter.

Before going to bed the night before, mix together the white and wholewheat flour, sugar, salt, nut meats and raisins. Place in covered dish and this part of the- recipe will be readv and waiting in the morning, cutting out some of the need for haste. In the morning, add sifted baking powder, mix in well, and add milk which has been mixed with eggs and melted butter. Stir until all dry ingredients have been moistened, but not made sloppy. Pour into greased muffin tins.

Bacon is to the American breakfast what turkey is to Thanksgiving. To broil it, place strips on broiler rack and run rack in 4 or 5 inches under heat. Do not have too hot a fire. Turn strips frequently until done. To broil in pan, place slices in iron pan over low fire.

Turn frequently and keep draining off grease as it appears. To oven- cook bacon, lay strips on broiler rack in a shallow baking pan. Stand in moderately hot. oven and turn bacon frequently to keen it fiat and uncurled. IN NEW.YORK C1934 NEA SEftvlCt NEW By GEORGE ROSS Jan.

Book A Day By BRUCE CATTON If Jolan Foldes' "The Street of the Fishing Cat" (Farrar Rinehart: did not come into view as the winner of the All-Nations prize novel competition, one could treat it gently. It is a pleasant little novel, with no great virtues and no great faults, interesting and ingratiating enough in a mild sort of way. But it emerges stamped by the judges a the best of all the nove-ls 1 submitted in this competition, and it international just isn't robust enough to stand up under tbe load. Laboratory For a Nation? The Seventy-fifth Congress, now in session, is the first since the lame-duck amendment became the law of the land. But the man who more than any other was responsible for I Whj Lhis book sllould hav that reform is absent from Washington.

Senator George W. Norris preferred to remain, for the time being, in Nebraska to witness the fruition of another reform he long the establishment of the first unicameral State legislature in American history. The bicameral system has been traditional in the United States. But from the viewpoint of logic there is much to recommend the simpler single-chamber form. It is certainly bound to be more economical.

In Nebraska's case the change involves a reduction in the number of legislators from 133 hard to understand; it is not, for instance, half so good as John Mclntyre's "Step's Going which won the American award in that competition. It is probably unfair to labor this point. "The Street of the Fishing Cat" is. as I say, a pleasant, friendly sort of story. It tells about the homeless emigres of the post-war years who, so that, regular intervals, tbe i number of white blood cells tends to lessen and then gradually increase.

Fortunately the condition still is infrequent, and affects women mostly, children rarely. Because of t.be failure of the white blood cells to protect the body against infection, one of the f'rst signs Is a severe iilcerat'ion of tbe throat. with destruction of tbe tissue of the eums and tonsils. Other portion? of body may be attacked, and infections of kidneys, heart, or even skin become apparent. Because of the severity of this condit'on.

about 75 per cent of those affected die. The remaining victims recover, usually, however, after a long time and after a great, deal of careful treatment. Such treatment, includes, above everything else, immediate rest In bed. the giving of fluids, cleaning of the infected areas, and use of some ne remedies which seem to have the power of stimulating de- ve'opment of white blood cells. These remedies, of course, must be injected by the doctor and only in association with regular examination, of the blood, by which the doctor is able to trace tbe progress of tbe disease.

For a state as homogeneous as is Nebraska, which has no sharp cleavages between urban and rural, between industrial and agricultural, between native and foreign-born, the unicameral system may well prove desirable. But whether it or not, the experiment is to be applauded.

It emphasizes again the cogency of Mr. Justice Brandeis' observations that: "It is one of the happy incidents of the Federal system that a single courageous state may, if its citizens chose, serve as a laboratory and try social and economic experiments with- we see how forlorn th emigre's' out risk to the rest of the The Washington Post, Jot really is.

Twenty Years '17 Ago '37 TT IS almost impossible to frain from saying "don't" to children. In order to impress upon the parent the futility of over-using the word, many have gotten the idea that it is criminal to say it at all.

But when Mary is reaching for the ice-pick to jab through the screen, what else is there to say? Nothing, that I can see. Substitution is all right, and has its place, but suppose there is nothing handy to give Mary, to divert her thoughts, or anything else that Mary wishes to do at the time. She has to be told to desist. And "don't touch that." seems to be as good as anything. Explanation may be added and reasons advanced to three-year- old Mary about danger and destructiveness.

But she is not impressed with reasons much. All she wants to know is whether she can have the Dick, or whether she can't. I think that parents are leaning too far backwards today about this little forbidden word of the psychologists. Prohibitons Teach Young: True, children should be trained as far as possible in the knowledge of what is permitted and what is not. but this takes time, and in the experimental stage direct prohibition is part of the lesson.

It is the same with other matters concerning the conditioning of children. mustn't say Don't." advise the psychologists, and you must set a perfect example. Very well, let us examine this. too. Mother takes a short cut over the snowy lawn to get some sugar from Mrs.

Smith. Mary sees her and half an hour later out she trudges in the deep snow. Her mother feels that she cannot remind. her about the forbidden drifts that wet her clothes, because she herself has done that very thing and her child saw Mary's mother had to cut across, because she needed the sugar at once, so quickly indeed, that she could not go round by the walk. It was either that or ruined food.

Can she turn about and tell Mary that she is not allowed to play in the deep snow? Why. certainly. And she can also say, Mommy can go, but you can't. See, I am a big lady. Little girls cannot do things that ladies can." Exceptions to Right Example I believe in example as the strongest factor of conditioning th'e child to correct behavior, right values, politeness and all the rest.

But the family must be made to understand also that exceptions are permissible in the case of parents, when it is; the best thing to do, in their judgment. Hard and fast rules of child training must not become too pedantic. Moreover they were never intended to discourage. We must have a standard to work from, and toward, and psychological tenets are a guide. But when applied too strictly by letter instead of spirit, they become wooden and inelastic.

Nothing can replace good sound judgment. We should not say "Don't" until it becomes a monotonous singsong. We must try also to live so that our children, who unconsciously emulate us, will benefit. Otherwise we must do the best we can. fCopyright, 1937.
