Teleohonr Na t038 Lanaford By PAUL MALLON i WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. (Special Dispatch) China may hold out a little longer this time, possibly a few months. But there is no doubt that the Japs should win another military victory in the end. That is, there Is no doubt in the minds of military authorities here who know the inside of that the rolls include as much as 1,800,000 men this winter.

The number will be limited only by the amount of money which is provided for such work. The recent Congress in its last appropriation bill for the WPA ordered that the organization must get thru the year on the $1,500,000,000 appropriation for 1937-38, plus any sums left over from last year. Plans that are being made are to the end that every possible dollar shall flow to the man on the job. Administrative expenses have been reduced, to the bone, as one of the high officials has put it. Municipalities will be asked to finance a greater part of their undertakings, which means the financing of the non-labor costs of projects.

This concerns heavy construction projects particularly for it is on these that the non-labor costs are highest. Vice-President A Comptroller; David A MMIer. Vice-President Managing Editor: Ralph Mens. 8cretar-Treaurtr: Percy B. Ruha.

PUMPERNICKLE BILL. Allenrrjwn's Slorsn "DWEXl AND PROSPER" MHflllllllw wtmm it IPu 3" Mm iLwfe rfe THOUGHT FOR TODAY There is nothing like fun, is there? I haven't any myself, and I do like it in others. Oh, we need it! we need all the counterweights we can muster to balance the sad relations of life. God has made sunny spots in the heart; why should we exclude the light from them? Haliburton the situation from their own confidential reports and otherwise. China has 140,000 men on her new Shanghai line against 100,000 Japanese.

She also has 200.000 in reserve. The line was carefully picked. The Chinese were not really driven back from Shanghai as advertised. They just could not stand the shelling from Jap warships and wisely moved back Into a better position. Engineers who know their business laid out the new line.

Concrete gun implacements give it strength. In front are rice fields, which are Chinese for swamps. A few roads lead through them, but they are mined. This may sound impregnable, but it has one serious fault. The Japs naturally are not expected to storm the position.

They probably will sit down until their heavily superior artillery can be wheeled up. Then the Chinese will find themselves playing a game in which they cannot possibly match the Japanese cards. On the northern front, the Japs have only 165,000 actively pursuing 700,000 Chinese under arms. The Japs have 150,000 more in reserve, watching Russia. But these 315,000 Japs are a mechanized army.

The 700.000 Chinese still carry those tremendous double-edged swords, which are excellent for chopping meat balls, but not so good against a machine gun. The Japs make these ominous weapons useless by staying outside of their 24 inch range. Here again, as down around Shanghai, the answer is a single word-Steel. A nation's strength these days is her raw materials. Armament is only as strong as the supply of ingredients behind it.

Japan has these things and the facilities to utilize them. The Chinese do not know where their next supply of bullets is coming from. This should tell the story of the war increasingly as time permits the Japs to exert their technical superiority against apparently overwhelming numbers. What Senator Vandenberg was driving at, with the olive branch he coyly extended to anti-Roosevelt Democrats, was not made exactly clear in his speech. He gave no bill of particulars.

But those who know him say he has a definite, practical workable proposition, in the back of his mind. It is not an official merger, as has been generally supposed. That would mean only the absorption of the Democrats by the Republicans. Nor is it the nomination of a Democrat for the vice presidency on the Republican ticket. That would be a minor absurity which would appeal only to those who do not know politics.

Instead, there is real talk of a variation of the strategy which the Republicans worked with success in 1928 in the South. They did not try to organize the Democratic political leaders. They did not ardently oppose Democratic nominees for the Senate. (This time, they would presumably not oppose anti-Roosevelt senators with any greater ardor.) They just unofficially cooperated with the revolting Democratic rank and file, perhaps secretly furnishing a little financial encouragement when necessary, but letting the movement have its own character. Such tactics might be effective.

News that two Chicago physicians may have found a rav treatment for the curse of swiftness in modern living, is causing hope among eminent medical authorities. Far more people die these days from strokes, the outgrowth of high blood pressure, arthritis, than from any other cause. Yet doctors seem to know the minimum about either its treatment or cure. Public health figures show 213 of every 1,000 persons now living will probably die of heart disease, (the official title under which these inevitably famous diseases are grouped). In 1900 onlv 132 of each 1,000 died under that heading.

Medical science sees its greatest need the antidote for the swift, nerve-attacking, modern way of life. Financial men do not like SEC'ser William Douglas and have never made a secret of it. They say he knows nothing about their business, which may or may not be true, although he was once member of an a eminent Wall St. law firm, for a short while. There is evidence however, that Douglas can tell what may be wrong with some Wall ctreeters individually.

He conducted an investigation for the SEC before he became commissioner. In the course of it. he subpoenaed a well known banker. All he received in response to repeated subpoenas was a doctor's certificate stating the banker was too ill to come to Washington. Douglas hired a local physician nt his own expense and went to the banker's home in West Chester.

The examination was just one relapse after another on the part of the banker. After each relapse. Douglas' doctor examined the patient, found him able to continue. The examination was finally concluded, after which the banker, immediately left for Europe Douglas will do things like that. Gocldard of the Post Office Horrors of Modern War Bombardment of Nanking, threatened by the Japanese, has not been carried out and it is to be hoped that the Japs have been persuaded not to do so thru the protest filed by several countries, including the United States.

The threat of the Japanese was to blow the capital city off the map with the obvious purpose of rendering a million people homeless and spreading dismay among the Chinese armies. The Japs might have been able to do it with superior air force but on the other hand, after giving definite announcement, preparations for defense might have been made to check their success. But it can be believed that Japan has not yet become so completely insane as to wish to alienate goodwill among the peoples of the United States and Great Britain by an act which has no excuse except that everything is fair in war. However this threat against an almost defenseless people in a defenseless city suggests the horrors of modern warfare. War no longer is directed entirely against soldiery.

There is recognition of the fact that as long as there is a civilian population, which is supplying the food and the ammunition and upholding the morale of the army, there is a foe quite as potent as that which carries guns and operates artillery and other machinery of warfare. Therefore modern war is likely to be aimed quite as much at the defenseless as against those who are armed. Nothing could more powerfully illustrate the dirtiness of all warfare than the dread contemplation of a city like Nanking, with its million population, levelled to the ground. I A Day in Majority of Cases Handled by Supreme Court of Such a Nature Justices Require Legal Training By DAVID LAWRENCE Police Radio Takes on New Facets Officials Strike at Gambling Wholesale arrests by the police yesterday afternoon at the Fair Grounds indicate that the conferences between the law-enforcement officers the sheriff, the district attorney, and the Allen-town police department have agreed there shall be no blinking and winking at the element which on the pretense of doing legitimate business courages and engages in gambling with money as the stakes. It is all the result of some peculiarities in the makeup of mankind, and particularly of mankind when it is out for a fark.

There is love for a game of chance and there always is the hope that Lady Luck will favor at last. Then too there is the general knowledge that most of the games of chance are "rigged," that is to say they are under the control of the operators so that any winnings are only at the wish of the operator. Against the overpowering odds of a fair game of chance plus those of a controlled device much of mankind expects or hopes to be able to outwit the operator. To help the outside player along, operators employ confederates known as "cappers" who mingle with a crowd, play as tho members of the casual throng and are permitted to win by their confederates on the inside of the game when it is good psychology to indicate, that the game of chance sometimes does register a winning. All might go along very well at carnivals and fairs such as ours if the operators did not in their greediness for gain overstep all limits and make a complete plundering of their victims who have been enticed by their own cupidity and by the wiles of the operators.

Upon this type of gaming and fun and excitement-seeking, and the readiness of professional gamblers with crooked machines to encourage it, our elective officials have placed their disapproval. Businesses at the fair which are run upon legitimate basis and not upon a basis of rank deception and robbery will be permitted to operate. The others can go upon a fair basis or pull down their curtains, as many of them did late yesterday afternoon when they learned that the sheriff, the district attorney and the police mean to do exactly as they promised. With over 550 city and county police departments in the country supplied with radios of a one or two-way variety, police chiefs are on the alert for new ways to expand the role of air-communication in law enforcement work, reports to the International Association of Chiefs of Police indicate. Recent among developments are these: Five-state cooperation among Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana police, to develop uniformity of radio communication and interstate emergency blockades.

Police superintendents and chief radio communication officers, holding their first meeting for this purpose in Indianapolis this month, planned to remain in close contact with one another by holding conferences at ninety-day intervals. Teletype for patrol cars, now under experiment by Major Lynn G. Adams, deputy commissioner of the Pennsylvania Motor Police. The "facsimile" system sends words by radio that are received through a set which converts the impulses into light, thence to letters. Thus a driver can leave his patrol car and still receive orders.

With this system it is 6aid to be virtually impossible to "tap" and receive police messages from any point other than a police car. Outlawing radio interference by ordinance, made effective last month in Detroit. Under the ordinance generators and other mechanical apparatus causing electro-magnetic waves or disturbances of high frequency oscillations that interfere with radio reception are subject to check by the radio division of the Detroit police department. If found disturbing, the cause is cured. Present records indicate that over 90 per cent of the complaints are cleared up just by locating the source of the interference and informing the owner, who willingly has it fixed without further discussion.

1 Washington Supreme Court of the United States, ii, is true that he did no give consideration to legal qualifications. Senator Black is by no means an outstanding lawyer. His principal experience in the law was as a police court judge. It may be that Mr. Roosevelt is conscious of the criticism levelled against Mr.

Black for his lack of legal scholarship and Is getting ready to argue that laymen are just as good on the Supreme Court as lawyers. There are, indeed, among the radicals and extremists many who have been advocating that laymen be appointed on the Supreme Court of the United States. Their ignorance of the real work of the Supreme Court is exceeded only by their disregard of constitutional law itself. They want precedents brushed aside and the whole structure of the English common law, as it has been known for several centuries, to be destroyed. Ninety-five per cent, or even more, of the cases before the Supreme Court have nothing to do with constitutional controversies.

They consist of complicated and technical legal questions that arise in both the Federal and state courts of the Nation. Nobody who has not had a legal education could possibly cope with them. These cases do not attract national attention because they are unspectacular and dramatic and do not relate to any claim of unconstitutionality, but they constitute the real work of a Su-pieme Court justice. In the concluding portion of his speech, Mr. Roosevelt disclosed nis real feeling about precedents and the background of the whole American system of law.

He said "I ask that they (the Amercian people) exalt the glorious simplicity of its (the Constitution's) purposes rather than a century of complicated legalism." Does Mr. Roosevelt want the country to understand that the 100 years or more of constitutional law are now to be relegated to the scrap heap and that rules for the governing of the American people which have grown up, as they properly should, in law suits brought under the Constitution, now must be discarded? What is to take iu, place a "layman's Supreme Court." perhaps more members of the Ku Klux Klan, to decide questions according to the political sentiment or racial or religious prejudices of the moment? Maybe the President was thinking of the Hitler method in Germany, where, in the summer of 1935, a law was promulgated which admonishes the courts that, where offenses are not punishable under the penal code, they shall be punished when they deserve it "according to the underlying idea of a penal code or ac-ccrding to healthy public sentiment." This, of course, is simpler than "complicated legalism." (Copyright, 1937) fees, die nagshd minute In da luft, un so is es grawd in aim shtick fert gonga.

Sept. 21. (Special Dispatch) President Roosevelt told a nationwide radio audience last Friday that the Constitution was "a layman's document not a lawyer's contract." He declared that "Madison, most responsible for it, was not a lawyer." Yet a reading of the official "Story of the Constitution," issued by the United States Constitutional Sesqui-centiennial commission, says the exact opposite. The book contains a section entitled "Portraits and Sketches of the Signers of the Constitution." and on Page 62 is a portrait of Madison under which is the following: "Lawyer, statesman, Virginia Convention, Legislature, and Council; Continental Congress, 1780-83, 1787-68 etc." Likewise there is a Government document, printed in 1927 under the Direction of H. H.

Meyer of the Legislative Reference service in the Library of Congress; which shows that more than 50 per cent of the members of the Constitutional Convention were lawyers. It states that 19 out of the 39 signers were lawyers. Some historians insist that their research will show that even more than 50 per cent of the convention were lawyers because the figure here given includes only the certain cases where legal record has been proved. The attack which Mr. Roosevelt made on the lawyers of the United States has occasioned no surprise here, for Mr.

Roosevelt, though himself a member of the bar, has heretofore taken a number of shots at the legal profession. But what is surprising is that Mr. Roosevelt went so far in his speech on Constitution Day as to accuse a whole profession of what amounts to deceit and trickery. Thus, this paragraph about the Constitution has evoked much comment: "This great laymen's document was a charter of general principles completely different from the 'whereases' and the 'parties of the first part' and the fine print which lawyers put into leases and insurance policies and installment agreements." Did the President mean by "fine print" that lawyers have a way of trying to deceive the layman? Even if fine print is resorted to in contracts, isn't this usually the action of the issuing companies? Why does Mr. Roosevelt speak of insurance policies in this vein? Many lawyers hereabouts consider that the President's speech was a deliberate effort to arouse antagonism against the lawyers of the country just because they happened, by an overwhelming referendum, to have voted again Mr.

Roosevelt's plan to "pack" the Supreme Court.

MARY L. DATL'BENSPECK, Andreas WARREN LOWE, Bath. Your Health By DR. LOGAN CLENUENING HEADACHE, DIZZINESS ARE HELPED BY DIET Anti-retentional diets are designed to eliminate retained water from the system. As developed by Dr.

Eugene Foldes of New York, they are high in protein, and comparitively low in the water holding food elements, carbohydrates and fats. Of the disease in which water retention is a probable factor, the convulsive states, such as epilepsy, are prominent, but we will not consider that group here because the discussion would become too technical. Sick headache or periodical headache is a common illness to which many people are subject. We need not go into the nature of the condition at present, except to say it comes on in attacks. Between the attacks the patient is in perfect health.

We know little about the mechanism of these attacks, but they may be due to water retention with swelling of the brain covering. Dietetic treatment with anti-retentional therapy has helped some cases. Meniere's disease consists of dizziness associated with nausea and vomiting, which comes on in sudden paroxysms and may have the same mechanism. The seat of the trouble is un doubtedly in the organ of equilibrium, the labyrinth in the ear. Dr.

Walter Dandy has said that "until the advent of sectioning the auditory nerve there was no treatment, either narrative or palliative, but is worthy of mention." But we have the account of some cases that indicate that the attacks may be due to local accumulation of water in the labyrinth and yield to anti-retentional therapy. The anti-retential diet is made up as follows: PROTEINS In liberal amounts, 1.5 to 1.8 grams per kilogram of patient's body weight. CARBOHYDRATES 2.5 to 3.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. FAT Fixed at 40 to 50 grams. MINERALS Provide for the necessary ones.

Restrict salt. VITAMINS Provide all, in concentrated form if necessary. LIQUIDS Restrict to 1 or Pi litres a day. In practice this works out as follows a sample day's diet: BREAKFAST Glass orange juice, one slice toast, one pat butter, one glass milk, one cup decaffeinized coffee, one tablespoon cream, one teaspoon sugar, one glass water. LUNCH Four ounces lean meat (calf's liver, chicken, fish or veal), serving any kind of vegetable, one slice bread, serving of raw fruit (six ounces of any kind), one glass water.

DINNER Four ounces of lean meat (choice same as for lunch), vegetables (same choice as at lunch), one slice bread, one ounce cheese, six ounces raw fruit, one glass water. Screams of Child Delay Court's Adoption Order PITTSBURGH, Sept. 21 UP) Screams of protest from a nine-year-old child today forced Judge M. A. Musmanno to postpone for a week the operation of his order awarding the child to her mother, Mrs.

Leona Fout of Homer City. Clinging to her father, Guy Shlpp, the child, Betty, cried: "I want my daddy. I don't love my mother. Judge Musmanno then modified his original order for the child's immediate transfer to her mother who has remarried since her divorce from Shipp two yeas ago. He permitted Betty to live another week with her father and grandmother in WUkinsburg.

By FREDERIC J. HASKIN WASHINGTON. D. The American postal system, which spirits letters and even heavy packages at high speed over land and water and through the air, had its origin in the choleric temperament of William Goddard. Since his establishment of Goddard's Post Offices in 1774 there has continuously been an America 1 postal system, and yet even the encyclopedias rarely mention his name.

William Goddard was a man wh.ise character was a blend of ability and impatience, constructiveness and testi-ness. He was born at New London, in 1740, the son of a physician who also was a postmaster under the colonial system. At 15 he was apprenticed to a printer at New Haven. At 22 years of age he went to Providence where he started the first printing office in that city. Ever restless and dissatisfied, Goddard went to New York here he worked for a year for John Holt, puo-lisher of the New York Gazette or Weekly Post-Boy.

Next he went to Philadelphia and bought a secondhand Dress which had belonged to Benjamin Franklin. He entered a partnership with three Philadelphians, but that was broken up through Goddard's utter inablity to get along peaceably with people. The partnership had printed a newspaper. The Pennsylvania Chronicle, but this soon lapsed. Next, Goddard went to Baltimore.

There he opened a printing office and started the Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser in 1773. His mother continued to run the old printing office in Providence and. at Baltimore, Mary Katherine Goddard, his sister, was a joint manager of the enterprise. Later she took over the whole job herself. Goddard kept constantly in trouble.

In 1777. when the Revolutionary War had little more than started, he published a statement urging the making of peace with Britain. He was sum-, moned before the Whig club but refused to reveal the name of the writer of the piece quite possibly himself. The Whig club imposed a sentence of banishment upon him, but he fled to Annapolis where he successfully invoked the protection of the governor. Goddard either returned to Baltimore or communicated with his paper there because, when the intense controversy arose between General Washington and General Charles Lee who had been court-martialed and dismissed from the Continental Army, Goddard's Maryland Journal came out stoutly In defense of Lee and reflected upon the character of Washington.

He was mobbed in the streets and printed a description of his treatment and of how "the damned rascally magistrates of Baltimore" would give him no protection. For years Goddard had been annoyed by the postal situation, and SCHOOL BOOK TO especially so because he was a newspaper publisher and was subjected to many inconveniences. As Goddard's papers were always especially caustic and controversial, it can well be understood that any mail handler who disagreed with him would not hesitate to toss his papers out of the mail sacks. At any rate, Goddard finally left publishing to devote his entire time to the organization of a postal system of real merit. This he succeeded in doing.

He ran a post office department as a private concern, but it worked so efficiently that Congress took it over, calling it The Constitutional Post Office, and Federal government postal service has continued without interruption ever since. Goddard had received no pecuniary reward whatever from his scheme, but when the Government took over the enterprise he applied for a job. President Washington marked the application "Disapproved" und that was the last of it. He doubtless remembered Goddard's attitude in the Lee affair. William Goddard died at 77 on a Rhode Lsland farm after a life of storm and achievement not often matched.

jI 25 Years Ago Today September 22, 1912 A Sunday The First Baptist church celebrated its 54th birthday anniversary with special services and two excellent sermons by Rev. Charles H. In two fine addresses, one at Neffs-ville and the other in the Lyric theater, Rev. Madison C. Peters of New York delivered powerful arguments why the young men should remain on the farms and how the high cost of living could be reduced by purchasing directly from the farmer and manufacturer.

It was estimated that 20,000 people viewed the preparations for the Great Allentown Fair. Although many concessions had not yet arrived, there was much to keep the visitors amused and plenty of places serving refreshments. The congregation of the First Erethern church held very interesting services when they signified the clearing of their Indebtedness by holding a mortgage burning ceremony. The Rev. E.

E. Fehnel, pastor of the church, ignited the papers afterwhich Mrs. William Barnes sang an appropriate solo, entitled, "Building Day by Day." Building permits were Issued by Inspector Minner to O. O. Ziegler, Max Rosenberg and Morris Greenberg.

TIME IS TIME CHECK YOUR Crimp in School Program Announcement that PWA loans to municipal ities and quasi-municipalities for public improvements have been discontinued strikes an immediate blow to any hopes the city may have had of carrying out a big building program for the schools with government aid. The School Board took immediate cognizance of the situation at its meeting on Monday evening and decided not to submit a bond issue to the people of the city at the November election. This situation as to money does not however change the situation as to the public school enrollment by a single pupil nor as to a single desk. The problem of the school is that of increased population, and promises of continuing increase, without the addition of school rooms and desks to accommodate the new army of students. How to cut according to the cloth is the problem which will confront the School Board during this year.

It will be a problem as difficult as that of pouring water into a vessel already full to EDGAR A. GUEST THE POET OF THE PEOPLE ANOTHER GOOD MAN STRAYS He'd never played the game before! Now he will rue the day I took nim from his cabin door A round of golf to play. But yesterday his time was spent Pursuing wealth and fame And he lived happily content With children and his dame. But yesterday along the road A whistling man was he. He reached at eve his glad abode Always on time for tea.

He dwelt among the placid souls Who never sit and pine And yearn to make for eighteen holes A score of ninety-nine. Untouched was he by needless wrath Not oft was he annoyed.
