COR8ICANA, TONE 6, 183" CORPORATE LICENSES There has been comparatively little comment on the measure sponsored by Senators Borah and O'Mahoney, for federal licensing of business corporations doing interstate business perhaps because most people have not taken it very seriously. But it is far from being a mere theoretical proposal. An American Institute of Public Opinion poll indicates that 57 per cent of the people favor it.

On its face, this may seem to be a rather mild affair, though covering a good deal of ground. It would not be federal incorporation. The states would still incorporate business as they do now. But every corporation doing interstate business would have to register with tfie federal government, and would then be subject to certain rules prescribed by it. The government at least would have a check on corporate practices and operations, in a way not ncny possible.

Once established, doubtless federal authority would be strengthened in the direction of greater uniformity and correction of various abuses permitted by the present system of state incorporation. In some ways such tightening up looks reasonable and useful. It is well known that great abuses 1 and much public loss have resulted frcm the irresponsible chartering of corporations in certain states, with authority to operate unchecked throughout the whole 48 states. It is obviously felt by many people that busi- ne.s. concerns operating on a national scale had better be doing it under the direct jurisdiction of the national government.

But there will be a big argument before that is done. FLEET WILL MOVE An interesting item in the recent news has been the annoucement at Washigton that "the entire fleet will be moved from the Pacific to the Atlantic next year for maneuvers, and to visil the New York world's The reasons given are plausible. The fleet is obliged to serve two oceans It has been concentrated in the Pacific this year and has held its annual maneuvers there. Turn about is fair play, for ships and mariners. There might be a diplomatic reason, however, for making the announcement at this time.

It will tend to reassure Japan, which has been worried about our naval suuperiority and activity in the Pacific. But what about China and the need of keeping watch on the situation there? Does the government expect, the Asiatic crisis to Le over by next summer? REALISM The "murals" menace seems to be spreading. Those numerous long-suffering individuals who don't know much about art, but know that they don't like all the modern murals that have been spread over much of the paintable wall surface of the country in recent years, have another trial ahead. At the wallpaper style show in Chicago the other day their worst fears were justified. Among the many new designs offered the public are a number "taken from the domestic scene." They include hot dogs, dol lar signs, Indians, gas sta tions and covered wagons It may be assumed that if anything were overlooked such as the bathing beauty motif and the slot machine all gaps will be filled in subsequent designs.

There's one thing to be said for this new wallpaper Johnnie and Susie can drav pictures on it or paste up cigar bands without soiling the general effect. Tha will obviate the expense re-papering to cover their depredations, and any little economy is welcome in these times. GOODS FOR GOODS The manager of the for eign trade department the Chase National Bank made some straightforwarc observations to a luncheon group during Foreign Trade Week. The days of the balanc ing of trade with foreign loans may not be ended, bui they have been "at least postponed," he said. Therefore, the quickest way to stimulate the purchase of American goods abroad is for Americans to buy generously in other countries Foreign trade must be a two-way activity.

Rea world commerce is a crying need today, but it can be achieved only by actual buying of goods among nations. These are not newly discovered truths. But they have not always been widely understood or applied in the United States. We have been firmly resolved that the other fellow must buy more of our goods than he sells to us. Before the World War, we were a debtor nation.

Since the war, we have become a creditor nation, which has changed our foreign trade situation completely. It is a hopeful sign that many people of authority and influence state the situation so clearly these days. Man About Manhattan By George NEW in the dry era, when New York, through no fault of its own was running a bad second to Chicago in the matter of gangsterism, it was a commonplace for a man of respectability to break bread at the same table with thugs and thieves. The Impersonal attitude so manifest here made made It possible for cut-throats, doctors, jawycrs, actors, engineers, dowagers, and debutantes to gather under the same roof and sque Ishness, like your hat, was deposited in the cloakroom. The Illegal drinking rendezvous, the up-stalrs or below-cellar speakeasies, fostered this casualnoss, and that Is why strangers In New York were able to spend a few convivial hours with people to whom they had junt been Introduced and separate with the warmth of old friends.

Although five years have gone by the boards since repeal, this attitude still persists. In New York the clothes do make the man, and unless you have a personal grudge against a party outside law you seldom give his reputation a second thought, The other evening happened to be in a gathering of five men who were having a few high- collars and talking, as men will, of this and that. One man there was a fine looking fellow about 45, well set-up, and, from his appearance, prosperous. Finally he said; "It probably won't Interest you, but on the off chanrc that It will I'd like to mention that I am an ex-convict," Ho let that sink In and let his glance rove from face to face to see haw much of an impression the statement made. None of us indignantly put on our hats and left.

On the contrary, we were burning with curiosity. I was itching to aalt him what crime he had committed and so were the others. We waited for his story. And he told it Told It all, In detail. man was an officer in the navy He had always had a lot of he got into got into an argument that ended In a rough and tumble fight And his antagonist was killed.

There was no weapons, and there was no premeditation, but they convicted him and sent him to prison for 18 He "I felt that I should not have been sent to prison, but 1 know it was good for rehabilitated mo, because it taught me how to think, and behind those prison walls I came to know myself for the first I learned, first of all, to curb an ungovernable temper. Uy temper was always my worst enemy. All the trouble I've ever had can be traced to bursts of unreasonable anger. But that is behind me. Sometimes I think it would be impossible for me ever to give way completely to any emotion again." Note: This man, whose commission in the navy was sacrificed when he went to prison, is now an accredited surgeon in Now York.

Recently he was offered the post of chief adviser to a large chemical concern, because of his vast knowledge of the chemicals that go Into the manufacture of anaesthetics. It he accepts he will have to give up ils practice, and he isn't sure hat he is willing to do this uot yet, He has three months decide. THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE MARRIAGE A Stqutl to 'Married Comrade? By Adele Garrison MEDDLERS Dicky Arrives as Madge Hidet Private Papers "IT LOOKS like the figures you are always putting down, and getting mixed up with your writing," Junior said a bit importantly when I mechanically had taken from him the clipped-together sheets of paper covered with figures written by Ills father. "I'll bet Dad doesn't know where these are," he went on. "What do you think we'd better do with them?" 1 pulled myself together from the shock of something Mcdusa- Illce In those columns of figures which had caught my eyes when Junior held the paper out to me.

"We'll put them on the top of the pile of drawings a paper weight on them so they won't blow away," I said steadily. When I had suited the action to the word, and turned back to my son, he was at the door, once more a normally restless small boy. "What kin I do now?" he demanded. "Old Rod's taking a bath and I don't want to go where Hank Is." "Suppose you go over and see you can help Aunt Katherine with Faith," I suggested. "Faith haa just finished her supper and la In her play pen.

She seems very wide awake. Perhaps Aunt Katherine would like to have you play with Faith while she dresses." Junior Leaves "I'll do that," Junior returned, opening the door with alacrity, for taking care of Faith is to him a privilege Instead of a chore. "She won't go to sleep for a long time. You can bet on that. She slept solid all through the last four hours of the trip." "She will be wide awake, won't I commented carefully, speeding 1 him on his way with a kiss.

When I locked the door after him, I was shaking as If a chill, and my legs were still unsteady as 1 went back to the table and stood looking down at the pile of drawings with the sheets of fig- tires topping them. I carefully avoided looking again at the sheet of figures, for mine haa been the training which counts pry- Ing into my husband's private papers as anathema. But I did not need a second glance. My eyes are trained to take in a large of words or figures at a glance, and the glance I involuntarily had given the top papor when Junior the clipped sheets out to me had printed an Indelible oioture upon my brain, My only problem now was what to do with the sheets. Leaving them In the place I had suggested to Junior would tell Dicky at once that someone had seen them.

Yet, If I tucked them between the again, I could not be sure of getting them in the name place. It was more than likely that Dicky himself did not know they were in the pile of drawings, but there was the thousandth chance that he did and would notice their having been moved. Temptation Great Rarely has a temptation so shaken me as has the one which seized me when I lifted the papers to put them somewhere between the drawings. It was my duty, the devil of curiosity whispered to me, to look through those papers and see if the rest of them continued the bizarre reckoning of that first page, and if It in any way had a connection with the "Jam" In which Dicky had said he was involved, and to the inexplicable scene which Mary and I had Involuntarily witnessed. For my one Involuntary glance at that page had shown me a reckoning which had astounded and frightened me.

It ran something like this: Cash in bank (so much) Can raise on life Insurance (so much) Can borrow (somuch) Advance on work (so much) Total (so much) Then a single despairing notation: "Not enough," followed by an Imprecation trailing off illegibly to the 1 side. There wera other figures on-the paper, plenty of them, but I had kept my eyes carefully averted from them. And I never have had a harder struggle than the one 1 underwent to lay the papers away without a second glance at them. I had forgotten that Dicky's studio has two entrances, one the door I had locked, the other a glass door from an outdoor balcony which has another door leading to the upper hall, But I was forcibly reminded of the second door, which was behind me, by a furious rattling of Its knob. When I turned, Dicky's face, dark with anger, glared In at me.

He must have seen me put the clipped papers back between the drawings! (Continued tomorrow) (Rnpvrlght. 193R, F. Sundown Stories By Mary Graham The Punishment A Honey Bear and Willy Nilly walked toward the house Honey Bear said in her soft, growling voice: "That watch must have been dropped in the pond years before any of us came here. Probably the owner moved far away and gave it up for lost. I hope he never thinks of it again." "It must have been some woodsman who lost it." agreed Willy Nilly.

"I'm sure no one will ever claim it. No one has been here, in all the time Puddle Muddle has been our home, who spoke of a lost watch. And the ducks certainly had to dig and dig before they found it. No doubt the one who lost it was camping around here at the time and then moved on." Honey Bear and Willy Nilly were approaching the liouse. Christopher Columbus Crow crouched in his nest and trembled.

What would they say when they discovered the watch was gone? They would know he had taken it. "Honey Bear!" cried Willy Nilly. "The watch has gone!" "Perhaps the owner came for it," growled Honey Bear. "How would he have known it had been found and was hanging up in my house?" asked Willy NJlly. Christopher could hear their voices through the open door.

"Mrs. Quacko went over to tell Mrs. Quacker of Quackerville about it," growled Honey Bear. "Maybe its owner lives in that neighborhood." "But he couldn't understand duck talk. You forget that I have a special gift that way." Christopher began to think of the punishment he would receive.

Herbert begins with that curious day when he decided to stand for parliament. He sort of fell Into the job. Oxford University has a couple of seats which can be nipped by a couple of jolly blokes under somewhat unusual circumstances; Herbert tried for one, got it, and wrote the other successful contender a note of congratulations. Part of Lord Hugh Cecil's delightful reply: "Dear Mr. Herbert: "Thank you for your very kind congratulations, 1 wish 1 could reciprocate them, but sincerity obliges me to say that I deeply and keenly regret, on public grounds, your election to the University seat," That's how a Cecil does It, Anyway, Herbert got down to business nt once.

Only an Unslishman who habitually contributes to Punch could have written Cites Danger From Bite Of Rat Dr. Copeland Asserts Rare Fever Disease Is Apt to Be Result By ROYAL 8. COPELAND, M. D. United States atnator from New York Former Commissioner of New York City WHEN LITTLE was known about sanitation and common sense moans for the prevention of certain disorders, "rat-bite fever" was a rather prevalent disease.

Today, It is rarely encountered and then only in those sections where rats and other rodents are plentiful and no measures are taken for their eradication. The disease is especially prevalent in certain sections of Japan and China, As the name Indicates, the disease is caused by the bite of a rat. But a similar affliction Is traced to other animals. The bite of the wild mouse, weasel, dog and even the pig may cause symptoms quite the same as rat-bite fever. What happens Is that the bite permits entrance Into the tissues of a germ known as the "splro- chaeta morsus These organisms are found in the blood of the rat.

They are transmitted to the human by the bite and rarely, if ever, enter the human body in any other manner. At first there may be no complaint of pain or discomfort. wound may quickly heal and only become Inflamed and swollen later, fact, the first sign of the disease may not appear for several weeks after the bite occurred. Signs of Disease When the place which was bitten becomes inflamed, there is likely to be a sudden chill and fever. The fever falls for a while but soon rises.

Attacks of fever and chills may be repeated for several weeks. Nausea, irritability, restlessness and severe pain In the muscles and joints are signs of the disease. As a result of the marked nausea and vomiting, the patient may become weakened and give more and more evidence that he is undernourished. Because of his lowered resistance, the patient must be guarded against complications. It is well to be familiar with the first aid treatment of a rat bite.

The wound should be immediately cauterized by carbolic acid or fuming nitric acid. When symptoms appear indicating that the disease has been contracted, it Is necessary to give certain medication by Injection into the blood stream. Thii treatment can be given only by the physician. There are as many in a community as there are human beingi. They are a menace to health.

They are carriers of fllth and disease. Every effort should be taken to destroy them and it Is the responsi. blllty of every community to do so. (Copyright, 1038, K. F.

The offer may sound fantastic but a fact is a fact and here is the situation.

July 1 to 3 is the 75th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, the so-called "highwater mark of the Confederacy." On that memorable occasion General a outfought General Lee. (We are accepting our school history on this. We have no dispute with Southerners who claim otherwise. And anyway, Meade did so poorly on the pursuit after the battle that even Lincoln had to chide him a bit,) As part of the celebration the government Is inviting veterans of both sides to come to Gettysburg from June 29 to July 6. Each is to bring an attendant and the government provides railroad transportation for both, as well as $6 a day each for expenses.

The Thinning Ranks A GLANCf at statistics -vould Indicate that it may be the last of the very few times Confederate and Union soldiers ever have mingled freely together. The army, which Is in charge of the party, estimates the average age of the veterans as 94 years. One of the provisions in the invitation is that if a veteran is taken ill on the road a doctor will be paid by the government for caring for him. There are approximately 10,000 surviving veterans, and South, and the army expects 5,000 will attend. Any Civil war veteran Is eligible, whether he served only a few hours in either army or years.

To date less than 2,000 have accepted invitations. Some of the veterans indicate they haven't cooled off much in the past 75 years. One Union veteran said he would conic only if he was assured no Confederate flag would be flown. One cocky old lad of 117 winters said he was chipper and eager and would bring youngest son, 54, as attendant. His eldest son, 94, is too feeble.

Quiet Reigns There Now ETTYSBUBG Is sacred ground, made so as much by Lincoln's historic speech as by the battle that marked the first real setback by the Southern forces. At that time the Confederates had swept far north of Washington and were invading Pennsylvania. From a military' standpoint Gettysburg was beautiful place for a battle, with the opposing forces Tanged on high ground facing each other across a valley that at one place was only a few yards across. The old soldiers who knew Gettysburg will find the place not greatly changed. Some trees have grown, and perhaps some bushes.

A cathedral quiet about the place impresses even casual tourists. So elderly are the surviving veterans that it seems likely some who come will not live to get back. The army has made preparations to send home those who die these many years after the battle. Religion Day By Day By William Ellis TUB SPADE AND THE OBOSS" Neither the newspapers nor the religious press seems to be taking note of the tremendously significant fact that in these days. we are witnessing profound verifications of the Bible, by archaeology, by geography, by historical research and by philology.

At a time when the social sciences seem to be elbowing out the Bible, and "modern" thinkers are Jauntily disdaining Its explicit teachings, the old Book Is being marvelously buttressed by the work of disinterested scholars, who deal, not with debatable theories, but with demonstrable facts. It has been my own good fortune to visit most of the great archaeological excavations of the ancient world, and even what I have seen of the corroboratlons of the historicity of the Bible seems fairly uncanny. No other book was ever so completely attested. Surely the day Is coming, and at no distant time, when the church will rally to an aggressive presentation of the veracity of the Bible. We meditate upon the of Thy Book, God; and give thanks for all the evidence, stored up through the ages, that Thy word Is trun altogether.
