The Railroads' Solution Demands Fact-Finding If one thing ought to. be clear by this time, it is that a strike won't settle the. railroad problem. Offhand, it looks as if a strike might be the only way out. The railroad employers swear that they can't possibly go on paying the current wage scale, for.

the best of wit, they haven't, got the money. The workers reply that they, are underpaid rather than overpaid, and that they can't afford a cut any more than -ther railroads can afford the present scale; and they add that the trouble with the railroads is their bank-begotten overheat! anyhow and not their wage hates. When employer and employe talk that way, and mean it, a strike is the usual outcome. But it is hard to think of a greater disaster for both sides than a nation-wide railroad strike right now. For the trouble seems to be that both sides are right.

The railroads can't pay the scale. They haven't got the money. They arc a spot, and if they don't get- some sort of financial relief pretty soon' there's going to be a catastrophe. That much is admitted by all who know anything- at all about, the railroads. On the.

other hand, the railroad workers aren't being pampered. In layoffs and in other ways, they have paid their full share of the depression. A horizontal wage cut would be ruinous to them. what? It the roads can't afford to go on paying and tho workers can't afford to take a cut, where is tho answer anyway? It is easier to say where the answer isn't than where it is; and the most obvious it seems to us, is that a strike wouldn't settle anything It would leave the basic, underlying problem quite No matter who won it, both sides would lose. And so, if you're interested, would the eral public.

The time would seem to be ripe for direct intervention by the government. That doesn't imply government ownership or government operation It simply means that someone has got to make a complete, longrange study of the whole study that would go far beyond the fact-finding venture now under way, and that would show us how to settle the railroad riddle alt its perplexing- ramifications, permnnently. This railroad problem isn't something new. It has been with us for C8de now and som its wots so back much farthtr than that far we have undertaken to solve the problem by a policy of drift and the present crisis serves notice that that policy won't work any more t' med lallon the current dispute won't help.

MORRIS PISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine Telling an "Ugly Duckling" She's Beautiful as a Swan Is Forgivable White Lie I had not seen Louis since she was an awarkward girl of fourteen. At that time her complexion was poor, be- ing.subject to the blotches and pimples of early youth. Her teeth were undergoing confinement in a darkish metal band to overcome a tendency on the part of the two front incisors to part company. When she walked into the room now flva years later, I could not believe my eyes.

Here was a really striking young woman with clear skin, lovely teeth and eyes tat had always been beautiful but that seemed to have darkened. The neckline and the curve of her daw had a beautiful grace. Nose good, too, I noticed, not the Noses, you see, change shape in adolescence. They go through a bulbous stage, not particularly attractive. Being iterested in the problem ol the adolescent, 1 asked her mother some questions.

I wanted to settle a point which has been the bone of contention lor- some time among psychologists, as smoe insist that it la better to stick to reality and tell an unatractive child ths truth about her appearance, while others maintain that truth will only make her self-conscious and unhappy "I have always told Louis that sha was pretty," said her mother. "She knew it of course, that she had a bad skin and no one could deceive her about her teeth. But I remembered my own young girlhood and my misery when my mother used to never be as pretty as Polly, Jean, so you may as well make up your min-1 to used to hate Polly, almost, and I'd cry secretly about my ugly hair and around moon ace.

I am never sure of myself in company. My mother's words still sound the old kneel She never realized what she had done. I was determined that Lois should not suffer as I did. I have always told her she was lovely. I think her poise comes from knowing that she has always had a good chance.

This was very interesting, as another mother I miked to was equally certain that it was wrong to create a false impression in a child. "I don't believe in false hopes" she said. "I told my Gloria that she would have to make up in brains and charm what sheh lacked in looks I agree with Lois' mother. Why discourage either boy or girl at a age? RAISING By Olive Roberts Barton 95 Per Cent of the Cancer Cases Occur in Persons Over 35 (TWs is (he third of four articles in which Dr. Flshbein discusses the new knowledge concerning cancer.) Most of all the causes of death in the United States is heart disease.

The rae for cascer has been steadily increasing. It was £3 per 100,000 in i 1900, and it is about 106 now. Of course, the for heart disease has aUo been 132 per 100,000 population In 1900 to around 240 now. Cancer is essentially a disease of old people.

Since more people tre living longer, more more people are likely to die of Therefore, the increase iu the death rate of cancer i does not mean that people are more to have cancer now ihaa fur-i nierly. In addition ot the fact that people are living longer, we -must also take into account the fact that new methods have been developed whereby it is possible to diagnose cancer more certainly and much earlier than was formerly possible. Ninety-five per cent of all the cases of cancer occur after the age of 35. Women suffer more freqnuently from cancer than do men. However, cancers of the mouth, lips, and tongue are common in meu than in women, although in recent years there has been an increase of such cancers in women.

This may associated to some extent with increase in smoking women. Almost every organ ol the body may be affected with cancer. The form which affects most people of both sexes is cancer of the stomach; next comes cancer uf the intestines, then cancer of the breast, aii dthen cancer of the skin. Cancers of the stomach caused al- most 27,000 deaths in 1934, cancer of the intestines about 14,000 deaths, cancers of the uterus alrfnvst 17,000, cancers of the breast 13,171, cancers of the 3,313, cancers of the tongue 1,050, and cancers ot the Up 712. These are the organs chiefly affected by cancer, an dthese, therefore, are the places wliich should be most thoroughly studied by the physician in relationship to the possible appearance of this disease.

Especially should they be studied in men and women past middle age. Among people over forty years of age, one death in thirteen men, and one death in every eight among women, is due to cancer.

"This is it," Tait said to Dannie Feeley as the latter drove his car alongside. Feeley eyed it with distaste.

Nobody comes down here but the last of the bums, and it hasn't been on the patrol chart for iive years." "Yeah. I owe my life to that taxi driver, all right." Tait stepped out of the car.

"Bob, where have you been?" "Just around. I'm getting some sleep right iow. But I'd like to take you and Anne to dinner tonight. How about it?" "We'd like to," Myrna said. JN the days that followed, dinner for the trio became a regular thing.

And sometimes, when Tait iced that Myrna's spirits were up, they would drop into the Pa- ciiic-Plaza to hear the band. At first Myrna obviously steeled herself against the memory that came rushing when she entered the Golden Bowl. But gradually she faced her problem, and it seemed to Bob that she began once again to enjoy hearing the band. "You've done, a good job of lifting Myrna out of it," Anne told Bob one day. "She's beginning to take interest in The Swingatec-s as a business.

It's the best thing the world for her. At first she didn't want even to think about swing music. only she be definitely cleared of the suspicion of killing Lud Dombey!" Tait nodded soberly. "Feeley's no nearer than ever, and I've been no help, I'm afraid." "What does Barkley say?" "The prosecuting attorney? He says, in effect, that he wants Myrna's neck. And the trial opens on the 20th.

"Yes "And that inside it was a .32 caliber revolver with one shell fired and the barrel still warm. Is that correct?" "Yes, "Well, then?" Barkley smiled. "That's just one example. And I don't mind telling you that Leonard Macy and Doctor Matisse have been bringing in some interesting things." "Those fakers!" "That is wholly a matter of opinion, Tait.

I doubt if the jury, when I am through with it, will think they are fakes." "But what about Feeley?" Barkley shrugged. "I'm afraid Dannie is a little baffled, Tait.

A Book a Day By Bruce Catton The Arctic Ibis What it Takes It is interesting to try to figure out just what this "spell of the northland" really consists of. The frozen north is from all accounts one of the most monotonous and unpleasant regions on earth; it is told, dreary, hostile, and barren, guarainteed to give all comers a beating.

Yet peoplp who go there are we sty-at-homes read all we can get about it.
