The next time you hear anyone

it might bring them back to an
appreciation of the age in which I
we live if you tell them some of i
the things that really existed in I
those days. .
If you happen to be suffering j
from the ambarrassment of bald

the local medico would probably
prescribe a salve made from the j
fids of a horse, crocodile, hippo
potamus, cat. and a snake. This ;
choice mixture would be nibbed;
into your head three times a day. I
f this did not work, a magic spell j
would probably be cast over you to
increase the odds on "hair within
a month."
If you live. I in Eabylon and weie;
suffering from a malady of one j
sort or another, the method of
diagnosis would be very simple.
The doctor would probably not
know why your stomach was ac h-;
inc. so voii would be put in thel

WARD STRETCH.
With the orgy of exams de
scended upon those would-be
students, an enveloping cloud of
gloom seems to have suddenly
dropped in our midst. Not pnly
is it the thought ol nnais, out
also the realization on the part of
seniors that this is their "last
mile" and that the good old days
spent in the drug and cutting
classes arc just about gone. Fresh
men, with not a care in the world
but to pass a few exams' are wan
dering around with a perpetually
downcast look in their eye, won
dering why they ever decided
to come to school. Unhappy gym
cutters are bemoaning their past
misdeeds, thinking with deep sor
row of the long hours to be spent
during the summer, making up
that one or two extra times when
they just had to see a show. The
more dejected specimens of hu
manity that can be seen carrying
stacks of books to and from such
places as the lihrarv are probably
suffering from an acute attack
of term-paperitis, peculiar to this
time of year, for which there is
no cure except writing the darn
things. Our pet gripe is the per
son, who. when everyone else is
bemoaning the facl that they have
at least seven exams, chimes in
with the remark that only two of
his professois believe in giving
such torture. Oh well, why bother!
Nobody will know the difference
a hundred years from today.
ANNUAL spring luncheon of
the Alpha Xi Delta Mothers club
was held at the chapter house.

jfVit' socialist
party of America Is "not interested
in socialism thru the communist
party." The convention, now in
session at Clevclund, unanimously
rejected a letter from Earl Brow
der and William Foster, commu
nist leaders, suggesting that the
two parties consolidate.
! or m an Thomas,
the party nominee in 1928 and
1932, seems to be certain of his
third nomination. His forces have
won two victories in the conven
tion to date. The Thomas sup
porters were the leaders in the
successful fight against the com
munist coalition. They also won a
previous victory in a dispute over
the seating of the 00 representa
tives from New York. There were
two groups who claimed to be the
socialist representatives from New
i oi k. une group was Known as
the old guards and were opposed
to Thomas policies. Those friendly
to Thomas were the militants. The
two groups differ chiefly over ap
proval of massed resistance against
war in the 1934 Detroit declara
tion of principles. The Thomas
forces won by a 2 to 1 majority
the right to seat their representa
tives and the "old guard" walked
out of the convention. The ease
with which the Thomas forces won
these victories would Indicate that
they will have no trouble nomi
nating Thomas for the third suc
cessive time.

a year ago tomorrow in a test
case brought against it by the
Schecter Wholesale Poultry com
pany of Brooklyn. The victory was
a hollow one of the Schecters be
cause a few days before the first
anniversary of the death of the
NRA, the poultry company was de
clared bankrupt. At this time,
Father David Schecter's house was
being foreclosed to satisfy a $4,000
mortgage. Of his sons, Al and
Aaron Schecter were operating a
tiny retail poultry store in New
York, Joe was without a job, and
Martin was a clerk in a Rutland
road store for $25 a week.
Though the Schecters
were elated when the NRA was
declared invalid, they were not so
enthusiastic now. Joe Schecter
said, "We thought that after the
NRA decision we'd do much better
in business. Instead business took
a turn for the worse. No, we won't
celebrate the death of the blue
eagle next Wednesday. All we've
got left to show for that decision
me a lot of nice newspaper clip
pingsthey won't bring in any
cash." He apparently has changed
his mind as to the possible use
fulness of the NRA. He says, "The
NRA ruined our business but if it
had been properly administered, it
might have saved it."
David Schecter, father of the
hoys who fought the NRA, was
never interested In their historic
court fight. Today he says. "Me?

out their own salvation, according
to the best Information available
in Washington. Roosevelt has sent
a notice to Joseph B. Eastman,
federal co-ordinator of railroads,
to drop all plans of consolidation
until after the political campaigns.
The officers who gave this infor
mation ulso predicted that by the
time the campaigns were over, the
office of co-ordinator of railroads
would be abolished.
Eastman has made many ene
mies in railroad circles, which
would be a very good reason for
eliminating him before an election
campaign. He has not been noted
for his diplomacy in his attempts
to carry out his plans. Frequently
he has hinted that if the rails re
fuse to co-operate with his pro
gram, federal ownership of the
carriers or bankruptcy for most
of them are the alternative.
