A sincere and desperate effort is being made by the handful of realistic and practical advisers the President has left, to convince business leaders, bankers, industrialists and publishers that Mr. Roosevelt is himself in earnest in his desires to help now, rather than reform; that'it is to the interest of all of these leaders to believe this is so; that it is the capital system's last chance in America to so understand.

Between these two factors, the fate of America dangles above a pit of destruction.

The third great tragedy is that Mr. Roosevelt cannot see that he is not selling himself out to any "enemy," but while shivering lest his own ego.be hurt by admission of mistakes, he is selling out those very people he has led to the top of the mountain these last five years and shown them the Promised Land of his imagination.

15.37, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) BRITAIN TO FIGHT BACK Routine announcement recently in London lias a deal of significance when probed under the surface. The announcement was to the effect that the British, government is about to start a special series of daily news broadcasts in foreign languages over the big short-wave Station at Daver.try. "Straight news" will be given, it is stated. no attempt -at propaganda. Yet this straight news is in rebuttal to aggressive-news by alien nations.

News will be in Spanish. Portuguese and Arabic. The Arabic has found' necessary to combat the effect of "news" broadcasts from the Italian station at. Bari which have fired the Arabs to foment trouble in Palestine and Egypt. The broadcasts in Spanish and Portuguese are to offset if possible the German station at Zeesen which for two years has been active in broadcasting anti-British appeals in what it conceives to be German trade nd political objectives.

He was reputed to be seventy-five years old; no doubt he was terribly set in his ways. A balking pachyderm is an interview with his Royal Highness, the Shah. It never easy to do this, and just then there arose still another obstacle.

Now a turnip is the daintiest of salads to an elephant. Whether the little girl knew this or not, I do not know, but what happened then serves to make my point.

That elephant folio wed. the little girl, lured by the promise of mo-re turnips. Someone had seen his point of view and offered him something he wanted. Boake Carter, the radio commentator, was once faced by a lion which demanded that he cater to the other fellow's point of view. When he was a newspaper man in Teheran, Persia, the bigg-ast pos-.

Boake went to the home of a friend who had such a hat, borrowed it, interviewed the Shah, and got the newspaper story of the week.

All because he catered a bit to the other fellow's point of view! Recently I was staying at the Royal Yorke Hotel, Toronto, Canada. Whenever I raised the telephone receiver, the operator always greeted me with "Hello, Mr. Carnegie," How much better than to say, "Order, We all love the sound of our own names.

To understand this seeming paradox, keep in mind these things: such a bill might help the A.

In just the same way, the National Labor Relations act helped the A. F. of but It helped the I. O. more.

LO.s Lewis, as weir as the opposition of Green to wages-and-hours legislation, may also be influenced by the fact that such legislation might even benefit low-paid and unorganized workmen more than union members in better-paid fields.

Green and Lewis are each influenced by groups within their organizations.

But some of the powerful building" and metal trade unions behind Green appear to prefer no wage- hour legislation at all. They lobbied against the bill last summer, arguing in effect that higher wages for unskilled labor mean, less chance of increased Wages for skilled craftsmen, as if to say there is just so much money in the "wage pot." Labor Beard Green then suggested amendments, and indicated that he would, support a bill containing them. Late in August Green was demanding'that Congress stay in session "until it passes the wages and house Green's recent change of front is based largely on his charge that the Labor Relations Board has so badly administered the Wagner Act that the A.

When lice begin to live around the body, i business will be convinced by the Presidential particularly in the seams of underclothing, they are difficult to remove. In an ordinary search they are not likely to be found on the skin but rather concealed in the clothing and occasionally iii the hairy regions. They get on the skin only when hungry.

Sometimes their presence can be detected by the fact that the hairy regions are contaminated by the eggs or nits of the body louse. On other occasions, puncture wounds which they produce are found on the skin surrounded by a slightly bloody area. Just as soon as the parasite begins to bite, itching occurs. Then the areas are covered with scabs and crusts and there is also the possibility of secondary infection scratching. Where the lice have been long inhabitants of the skin, discolorations may eventually occur.

In fact, among the inhabitants of flophouses, the presence of these Organisms is so frequent that they occasionally attack in such numbers as to produce serious disorders of the skin, called "Vagabond's disease." Chief danger of such infestation is the possibility of the development of and boils which when greatly infected may even produce death. Body lice usually bite around the neck, shoulders and buttocks. In ridding the body of these parasites, it is necessary to boil all the clothing or to steam It to sterilization in high pressure steam sterilizers. The organisms on the body must be removed as well by giving hot soap bains and applying dusting powders containing sulphur. Lice which live the lower areas of the abdomen are seldom seen on children.

They bite deeply and almost invariably produce little spots of blood and inflammation. Sometimes their biting- is associated with the appearance of discolorations of the skin, believed to be due to the fact that the poisonous saliva of the parasite breaks up the red coloring matter of the blood and leaves it under the skin. For the treatment of this type of infestation, it is customary to use strong ointments containing toxic drugs which the physician prescribes. Sometimes the drugs used irritate the skin. They are, however, necessary first to destroy the parasites.

The irritations may then be overcome by the use of smoothing (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.) housing message Congress that he really wants to help, rather than entertaining any hope that the housing campaign, per se, will cure the slump. Stacked against their hopes, however, are the last five years' memories, bitternesses and the personal issue Mr, Roosevelt has made of the New Deal vs. America's Capital System. Congress thus remains the one instrument that can stop the national skid, down the economic toboggan, by reasserting its constitutional position and becoming once more the keeper of the national purse. It cannot do so by ringing up the White House, every time and first asking for permission to do this and that.

If in the next thirty to sixty days Roosevelt can forget his ego and business and investors can become convinced that the Government means to help, not destroy them, for the next three years--then the toboggan ride may be stopped. If not--then even the realists around the President know that it is full-blown inflation and Government nationalization of many things by next Summer. (Copyright, Ledger Syndicate.)
