Daniel Webster. SKYLINE ORNAMENT. As an observer of ecclesiastical architecture in its many varieties, the editor of this column has often cocked an admiring eye at the Baha'i temple, which looks particularly fine from Dyche stadium on sunny October afternoons when the Wildcats are winning. Therefore we regret to glean from the comic column of an Evanslon weekly that the teen-age flibbertigibetts of the north shore have nicknamed it God's Lemon Squeezer. The aviation officers and cadets at Glenview, who use it as a landmark, call it for reasons known only to airmen Point Oboe.

The advanced modernists of the architectural profession are apt to lqok down their angular noses at tho Baha'i temple as no advance toward their mystic ideal of "capturing cubic space." As a layman, we are inclined to give thanks that it is not a stark, unornamented cube. It surpasses the Pentagon in Washington by being a nonagon, and if the reason for its nine-sidedncss is symbolical rather than functional, that's all right with us. This temple, now sheltering a centennial congress of Baha'ists from all quarters of the compass, is a remarkable addition to the pleasurable sights of the Chicago region, and if it stood in any Kuropoan capital, grimy with age, It would be three-starred in the guidebooks. Incidentally, the Interior decoration is still unfinished. For many years this bouse of worship looked like a pillbox fortilication on the Muginot line, since only its crypt had been built.

The cornerstone was laid In 1D12. The structure without ornament was completed in 1931, and then wailed for eight years until a satisfactory technique for the exterior treatment could be found.

Deprive a working machine of oil lubricant and will have over heated bearings. Deny oxygen to a busy muscle and the nerve endings -1- will transmit the message pain." MAKING PRICE CONTROL WORKABLE. The house's consideration of extension of the price control act, which expires June 30, has brought from the Republican food study committee, composed of 44 representatives, a series of amendments designed to limit some of the obnoxious and nonessential features of price control.

One amendment would eliminate much of the present chaos in handling the nation's food supply by placing food under a single agency. Another would end the scandals of destruction of food crops in the field, because inequitable OPA ceilings made it unprofitable to pick them, by exempting perishable fresh fruits and vegetables from price control. The OPA has shown itself incapable of keeping pace with rapidly changing costs in this field. A third amendment goes somewhat further, removing price control from any food product not listed us a cost of living commodity. The theory here Is that If the price of essential foods is controled, consumers will be given sufficient protection.

Activities of the OI'A would bo much simplified if It did not devote so much time to placing ceilings on nonessential and luxury products. It is hard to justify ceilings on liquor, for example. The price of getting drunk is hardly an essential item in a war time budget. Unjust treatment of manufacturers and landlords, who have been required to absorb increased operating costs imposed on them by wage increases ordered by the war labor board, would be corrected by a provision requiring that price and rent ceilings be raised to reflect such wage increases. Burocracy would be curbed by requiring the price administrator to tell the public when he acts against the advice of one of his industry advisory committees, and by the provision of more adequate appeals to the courts from unfair OPA orders.

The immediate cry of administration spokesmen on the house banking committee, to which these proposals were submitted, that they are inflationary," is not likely to fool many people. The OPA's record has not been such that the public is inclined to give it a blanket indorsement and unlimited extension of its powers. It has, on the contrary, been arbitrary, unfair, and above all, stupid and uninformed in many instances. Anything that will correct its many abuses and prevent its too frequent substitution of whim or special interest for good judgment and fairness will aid the prosecution of the war. The United States fought the last war without consumer price control or rationing.

The wide extent of the governmental controls that have been placed on every aspect of business, and upon virtually every activity of the citizen, was not made necessary by this war. Much simpler and less extended controls would actually have aided the prosecution of the war, if only because they would have been less cumbersome and easier of administration. The war was not the primary reason for war time governmental control. It was merely the excuse. The reason was the desire of the New Deal to have government run everything.

EUROPE'S PEACE. runic Minister Smuts of South Africa told English audience the other day that Europe must not be carved up or atomized after the ar, He hoped that Europe would "receive a rr, stable structure as the United States or Common wealth of Europe." He thought that bui an organization could become the main pillar of pence thruotit the world. Tin dispute lies do not make clear where would fit Into Mrwslml Smut' pattern.

A man can belong to two or r. cie social clubs, but can a nation belong to two or perhaps three confederations of nations? What would England do if the European confederation created a European free trade area the same time that the commonwealth adopters a plan of imperial preference? And if the Iluropran federation voted for the abolition of armies and navies and the substitution ft them of a European force under the of the federal government of Europe, uimi would England have to offer the dominion and colonies by way of military protection? Perhaps these conflicts could be resolved, tho It is bard to see bow. Or perhaps, Marshal J-1 was thinking of a continental federation cf whiih Ktitain would not he a member. If o. the acceptance of the plan would mark the first departure in many centuries from the traditional Eiitish policy of opposing the presence on the continent, across the channel, of the longest military power in Europe.

These are some of the difficult ies presented I Marshal Smuts' proposals, but possibly solutions- can be found for them. For our part we riofoundly hope so. Europe is the starting I of world wars. If a means can be found ct keeping Europe at peac Americans will have cause to rejoice. Too often it has been our unr.appy lot to terminate the wars that Europe and couldn't finish.

The cost of these operations to us has been stupendous and the tnents to us nonexistent or negligible. From our point of view then, the ideal solution is some kind if an arrangement within Euiope to keep Europe's peace. The onjy peo-r- in this country who would resent such a f'fieiation are the assorted One Worlders who on lie happy until this country is committed to Jitit mg cveiy war that anybody starts, i I ici lor any leason. The rest of us will I to a know lodne that a union of (0,000,000 1 pi aiis, the most bellicose people in the v-oiid. mii.ht some day menace our security, but the chance is worth taking.

This situation is similar to what occurs to the pumping organ in angina pectoris. Agonizing stabs in the legs were termed "intermittent claudication" by a French veterinarian. He applied the designation to horses when they developed lameness after a short period of exercise.

Investigation showed that the animals were suffering from a condition which affected the main artery of the extremity, rendering it less efficient. Now, this phenomenon is not a disease. It is merely a symptom which tells us that the circulation to the is insufficient. How does it manifest itself? The typical victim, on leaving his home' or office, will note fatigue after he has walked a block or two. If he persists, other signs may appear including discomfort in the arch of the foot, the toes, ankle, calf, or as far upward as the back of the thigh.

Numbness may be an early indication. Eventually, this will give way to sharp spasms, knifelike in character, or settle down into a dull ache. Instinctively, the patient halts or perhaps leans over to rub the stinging area. Progress is then resumed but at a more leisurely gait. If he speeds up, the incident may return.

He may be obliged to stop and rest every block or two. key employees In our office. Mind you, no extra physical exertion Is Involved, but the nervous tension incidental to operations under present conditions Is far more exhausting than a normal procedure. As a result, evernl months ago my employer made a request to the war labor board for permission to Increase my salary. Recently, my landlord asked the office of price administration for permission to increase my rent.

Results: plea for Increase in salary denied: plea for Increase In rent granted. Consistency, thou art a jewel. Perhaps this is because no CIO label Is attached to my job. When the avalanche overwhelms our supercratic administration in November, they will wonder why. But their mental caliber will not be equal to the task of discovering the reason.

The Y. M. C. A. will observe its centennial on June 6, and its various proponents have been working like mad digging up anecdotes of its first 100 years.

Some of their findings come as a surprise to this department which, unlearned as it is, did not know until yesterday that 10 years ago the Young Men's Christian Association decided to admit women as full Hedged members, and that today women are members of 18 of the 23 departments in the Chicago association. If you think this strange, consider for a moment what just happened in the neighborhood of this desk. The beauty editor's telephone rang and a man with a muffled voice asked: "How are jthose little lace hats worn? The only fitting answer to that was: "What little lace hats?" "You know," said the masculine voice, those little lace hats you hear about right now. What are they worn for?" Unable to recollect having seen a lace hat since the boudoir cap days, this department suggested they not be worn to work.J Well, hack to the Y. M.

C. A. It was founded in Chicago in 1R58. Soon it began to put out a paper called Everybody's Paper, which must have been just that, for it had 50,000 monthly readers, and Chicago barely had 100,000 inhabitants, a good half of them children. In 1875 it contained some thrilling literary works called "Wings Some Day this had no reference to the air corps or cigaret of the future; "The Dying Sailor," and "How Mary Edmonds Did What She Could," a serial.

IThe beauty editor's telephone again jangled us back into the present, and the desperate voice of a lady unquestionably troubled with avoirdupois asked if we could recommend some good stomach exercises. Thinking of Mary Edmonds and how she did what she-could, we told her these were easier to demonstrate than to describe, but tried to tell of the few antics at our command. she signed, "that control is but one of the steps that have been taken to fasten totalitarianism on the country. Already the New Dealers are asserting that the "benefits" of price control must be preserved after the war. The people should not be fooled that the proposed Republican amendments are an attempt to promote inflation.

They are, on the contrary, an attempt to make price control more workable and fair. Their passage will be a signal to the burocrats that their interference with the lives of citizens is to stop the day that fighting stops. NONESSENTIAL" HANKERS. Charlotte, May 35. We who live by the debit and credit method have found ourselves In a very unique position.

From a patriotic standpoint we must contribute to the financing of war production, handle the numerous details necessary to bond drives, maintain ration accounts, handle the withholding tax, and many more such services to keep the wheels of Industry turning and the money flowing. This we gladly do and look for more to assist the war effort. But, ask a government agency for a small bit of assistance in furthering this work, and what happens? The OPA, when requested for a little additional gasoline, gives the abrupt answer. No. you are nonessential! What a comfort that remark Is to us when we have worked many hours overtime to do our bit.

Love. Mystery of Movable Birds' Nests. The hullabaloo recently about the robin's nest in the spare tire rack of a war worker's car reminds me of the nidification novelties related in this May issue of Nature Magazine. For instance, a pair of rough-winged swallows built their nest on a buttress beneath the deck of a steamboat that made daily trips on the Tennessee river from Guntersville to Hobbs Island, a dis-stance of 24 miles, leaving at 10 a. m.

and returning at 6 p. m. The birds followed the boat all the way to feed their young. A pair of wrens in Boone county. built their nest over the right rear axle of an automobile, between the frame and body.

The car was driven to Columbia twice a day to deliver milk. While the car was being driven 1,210 miles, the female laid five eggs, hatched all of them, and reared the five nestlings. Buckshot, O. R. s.

James H. Feei-kt. Editorial of the Day Treatment demands drastic reorganization of the sufferer's habits. The use of tobacco may be reduced or eliminated entirely while massage and heat will bring relief. Soaking the extremities in hot water for 20 to 30 minutes before going to bed will dilate the peripheral capillaries and engorge the tissues with blood.

The graduated exercises recommended in Buerger's disease may well be employed. With the patient lying down, the feet are raised, then lowered over the side of the bed. This maneuver is repeated 15 or 20 times, each cycle occupying several minutes. This takes advantage of the force of gravity in emptying and refilling the vessels. If rapid walking has been the custom, the chances are that slowing the pace will serve as a preventive.

The distance may not need to be shortened. But the time consumed may well be lengthened. Some attention to the diet, with a decrease in weight, if obesity is present, is indicated in addition to the eradication of infection when-ever pests of growing germs ca'n be found.

I am sorry to see a note of what I can only call unfair criticism of Gov. Dewey In several 1 letters In the Voice of the People.

Also 1 In McCutcheon's cartoon of yesterday. OPA AMI NEW YORK KKXTS. Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. In the plea of New York City realty owners for a 10 per cent Increase In residential rents, OPA rent control officials have a whale by the tail. That the cost of real estate maintenance has risen nobody would deny.

On the other hand, the inflationary effect of a sharp Increase in any Item of the family budget so basic as shelter Is obvious. The OPA technique of freezing rents at a previous level froze many landlords to chronic deficits. Higher rents for them would probably meet with little objection, tho a blanket Increase for all landlords, whether operating ot a profit or loss, would bring down a storm of protest. Hut the thought of deciding for each property what rent would give the lundlord a fair return, as rates of public utilities are fixed. Is nothing short of appalling.

It Is theoretically the Just thing to do, but practically utterly out of the question. New Yorkers, with an estimated $80,000,000 a year at stake, aren't the only people intensely interested In this case.
