Not to be outdone by the males, the WW r.T. a LIBERTY A striking parallel to real life dramas centering about court battles for custody of wealthy children forms a human interest background for the introduction of a new screen child destined to achieve stardom.

William Powell and Luise Rainer, both nominated for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award for best screen performances A' NEW YORK, July 29 The news reels, more than any other barometer, show, how the winds are blowing for People Who Matter. In the neighborhood houses as well as those patronized by a more ultra audience on Madison avenue mere seems no restraint in giving the cheer or the bird. Here the public may see and hoar how the populace grows hot and cold for their idols. Not many retain high favor long. Once there were only groans lor Chief justice O.

Mclntyre Hughes but today the groans ared rowned by the hurrahs. Hitler and Mussolini get mixed ovations. Mostly jeers. Al Smith, for a time hooted, has come back into favor and is received as warmly as ever he was before he threatened to take his famous stroll. For a time there was only silence for Jimmy Walker but they soon forget and are applauding him again with fervor.

Young LaFollette given the raspberry. John L. Lewis comes in for a 70-30 reception, 70 hoots and 30 lmzzahs. The President, before and after his re-election, received only enthusiastic salvos. But" today in certain localities they are not so respectful.

There are many who resort to the boo. a The Algonquin has the oldest bartender in the town. Past 70, he has been mixing drinks for more than 50 years. He was at the old Metropole at Prince and Broadway during the 1888 blizzard and for a long time mixed toddles for the sports at Nib-lo's Garden. But his years make him look a trifle out of focus in the surrounding picture of collegiate bartenders today.

Most of them are In their 20's, bright-talking boys who know all the answers but from what we hear know very little about fashioning the fizzes. The Mickey Finn, longn antidote for the barroom pest, still has a few able practitioners. But is rarely used in the bars. The night clubs employ it when the bouncers' requests for quiet fail. It is an innocuous tasting drink containing an emetic that makes the drinkee suddenly bolt for the wash room and in most instances he is too weak to want to play any more.

In fact, so weak he usually has to be trundled to a taxi. The most caustic ribbing organization in New York is the Circus Saints and Sinners Club, a goofy organization started by Dexter Fellowes, circus press agent. Now and then they hold a dinner and initiate a new member someone of headline importance. And if he cannot "take it" he had better stay away for he is the victim of every indignity with the possible exception of mayhem. All the pomp he ever had is deflated and if he tries back talk he will be hushed with a skush of custard pie smack in the kisser.

They give such dinners in the bait rooms of large hotels where there is plenty of room to do their stuff. There was a touch of neighborhood sentiment in the recent tribute to "Tech" Hannan, who has been the kindly keeper of Gramercy Park 35 years now, as one editorial put it "cultivating the children and the flowers." The neighbors backed up verbal appreciation with a purse of more than $1,000. And Dr. John H. Finley, editor of the New York Times, who resides in Gramercy, made a speech in which he lamented Hannan hadn't been superintendent of the Garden of Eden, thus saving the world much grief.

Miss Rainer received her nomination for her performance as Anna Held in M-G-M's "The Great Powell, who was teamed with her in that picture for "My Man Godfrey." Miss Ranier won her first acclaim following her screen debut with Powell in "Escapade," whence she soared to stardom. "The r's Candlesticks based upon the best-seller novel by Baroness Orczy, is a story of -spy intrigue that races across Europe at a madcap pace.

The picture was directed by George Fitzmaurlce, who surrounded Powell and Miss Ranier with a supporting cast' of notable players including Robert Young, Maureen O'Sullivan.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical AaeociaUon, and of Hygeia, the Health Magasine have already pointed out that proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and mineral salts are necessary in proper proportions for suitable growth and repair of the human body. A lack of a sufficient amount of iron may result in certain forms of anemia.

A lack of calcium may be revealed in disturbances of the bones and teeth. A deciency in- carbohydrates may result in wastage of the body tissue because the tissues themselves will then be utilized to produce energy. It is known that a deficiency of io-. dine will sometimes result in simple goiter. These conditions, however, differ from those caused by lack of person may eat a great deal of food cf various kinds and still not get enough of certain vitamins, because they are contained in greatest amounts only in certain food substances.

a Although these diseases associated with vitamin deficiency have occurred for hundreds of years, it is only recently that they have come prominently to medical attention. Briefly, a deficiency of vitamin A In the diet leads to lowered resistance. to infection the body generally. but especially to an inflammation -01 the eyes called xerophthalmia. Since lowered resistance jto Infection may be the result of many different factors, it is not wise, to endeavor to raise resistance to Infection by taking superabundant amounts of vitamin A.

There is really no evidence that additions of extra vitamin A to a diet which already contains an adequate amount will actually increase resistance to infection. a a Vitamin is today generally understood to mean vitamin Bl. A lack of this vitamin In the diet results eventually in the apeparance of the disease called beriberi, or a form of multiple neuritis. However, it is also believed that a relative deficiency of this vitamin may be associated with lack of appetite and loss of proper action In the digestive tract. The second portion of vitamin is now known as B2, but also as vitamin G.

A lack of this vitamin Is associated to some extent with the appearance of the disease called pella-gara, of which more will be said later. A lack of vitamin result In scurvy and an associated softening of the bones, decay of the teeth, loss cf muscle strength and an Increased tendency to hemorrhage. A lack of vitamin results In rickets with the usual deficiencies of the bones, destruction of the teeth and other symptoms. Vitamin is called the anti-sterility Each of these will be discussed in a separate consideration. NEXT: Pellagra, Its causes and symptoms.

One feels, on the whole, that Lamson has repeated a great deal here and the effect is nullified somewhat by the earlier book, a greater story simply because it was essentially fact. But "Whirlpool" Is no less vivid and it is decidedly readable. P. G.

THOSE WHO PRACTICE LAW Tbe Van Buren County Bar association has brought contempt proceedings against a Bangor banker, on the grounds that he has been practicing: law without a Now and then we hear of the law moving against a la.vman for attempting to practice medicine without proper authority, but this is one of the first, if not first, efforts that we have known of in which the legal fraternity has moved against non-lawyer for poaching on their preserves. The contempi suit in question involves the right of the defendant to "draw up papers," as the saying goes, for the bank's customers.

Many a banker, particularly in the small towns, has executed a deed, mortgage, a bill or contract. The practice is by no means confined to the bankers. Realtors, moneylenders and others who have occasion to fill out legal blanks do so for their customers and clients, thereby detouring the lawyers out of their fees. Evidently the lawyers are getting around to the idea that this so-called curbstone compstition has got to Stop. What's the use, they argue, of going to school for seven years, spending a small fortune for their preliminary education, almost starving to death for another dscade, until they get started, if any layman who is handy with a pen and knows the difference between a deed and a mortgage can sit down and draft legal instruments? One must admit, on the face of it, that it Just doesn't add up right for the lawyers, although on the other hand there's an old saying that the lawyer's best friend is the man who draws his own will or gets an obliging layman to draft his legal papers.

Many a fat fee has been picked up by many a fat lawyer just because some curbstone lawyer drew a contract. This question, however, of Just where business ends and the law begins, at least for the lawyers, does have its serious aspects. Right now, in Missouri, the issue is in court and has far-reaching consequences. For years mutual insurance companies in Missouri (and elsewhere) have been accustomed to have their adjusters and claimants together fill in blanks in liability re- ln "Knar t-cn r-4 13 A i tion claims the insurance companies are practicing law. Six of the large companies have asked for a "declaratory Judgment" defining their rights In the premises.

They want to know if they can continue to sign contracts, releases and settlements with their clients without being subjected to legal prosecution. Business men and lawyers generally will follow the Missouri case with Interest, for perhaps out of the settlement will come a legal definition Or decision as to Just how far a non-lawyer can go in drawing up legal Papers. WHAT'S THE ANSWER A county official was saying the other day he had encountered a 14-year old youngster who remarked that he had quit picking berries because he could "only make $2.45 a day." That brought a snort of disgust from the official, who recalled his own youthful days and labors. "I got 60 cents a day shelling corn and was glad to get it. And it was a sight more tiresome than picking berries," he wniuienbca.

IfM 11 1 I wiuw, me oia umers, ana many not so old, can recall similar experiences. Indeed, it wasn't so terribly long ago that a dollar a day was the prevailing rate of pay for many adults In both common labor and other lines. Wages have gradually crept up as the standard of living has broadened and elevated. Hours of labor have shortened, while the drudgery of many back-breaking Jobs has been softened or entirely eliminated by machinery. All of which is all to the good for all of us.

But at that we think there's thing wrong about the 14-year old kid who spurns $2.45 a day at berry is it? What's given him this twisted perspective with relation to his labor and his estimate of its value? Is it the spirit of the times? Has he been influenced in his mental reactions to wcrk and wages by the attitude of his elders end the too prevalent but always pcpular idea that if we work less and get more life will be a long, sweet song? Has he heard of the abundant life and interprets it as frtcanin? a tkilled artisan's wagis for even ordinary labor like berry has it come to pass that a youngster just emerging into his teens 's under such economic pressure that ",2.45 a day is just small change and be bothered with? We haven't th? answer; but maybe Ecme of the old timeTS have. They've seen and heard of a lot of queer things and ideas in their day. 4 Va EDWARD'S ROLE The R. Anderson Jardine, the "poor man's parson" who married Edward Windso'and Wallis Warfield in defiance of the established English church, grows vitriolic in a speech at Baltimore, the bride's old home. He speaks of the former king driven from his throne by "an eccles-'astlcal cad," meaning the Archbishop -A Canterbury, and "a grandmotherly "ron called Baldwin," meaning the ate prime minister.

"Once there was a king." he exclaims. Ha regards Edward as the victim of a political-religious conspiracy to bind him hand and foot and make him "a puppet not a power; a machinenot a man." He think the former king "may yet steer the nations toward the star of peace and for a time beat back the threatening clouds of war." Moat Americans, while still sympathetic with Edward and having few illusions about the Influences driving hira from the throne, hardly expect anything so magnificent from the exiled, duke.
