NATIONAL CAPITAL!

FAMOUS WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT A
Washington.—Disappointment of
many Democrats at the Jncksnn day
dinner speech of President Roose
velt was natural enough, but the
fact Is that the President was very
much on the spot, and best political
opinion here Is that he acted wisely
in refusing to be rushed into any
statements which, however much
enthusiasm they might have aroused
among his following at the time,
he would regret later. And, more
important to those enthusiastic
Democrats who applauded and
cheered, but were disappointed, tbe
party might regret very bitterly next
November!
For the plain truth Is that Mr.
Roosevelt was not prepared to go
to bat on the point that tils huge
radio audience wanted to hear.
What they wanted was a definite
program following on the Supreme
court's Invalidation of the Agricul
tural Adjustment act.
The chief difficulty lay In the fact
that the President, Secretary of Ag
riculture Henry A. Wallace, and
AAA Administrator Chester C. Da
vis, one and all, and all their lieu
tenants and advisers, never dreamed
that the Supreme court would In
validate the benefit payments to
farmers. As to the processing taxes,
they were all a little dubious. And
as a matter of fact, they had their
program all worked out. Farm pay
ments would go right nhead. Money
for them would be found by addi
tional taxes. Kven the variety of
taxes was pretty well agreed upon.
They were to be largely additional
sales taxes, chiefly on luxury prod
ucts.
But along came the court and up
set the very fundamentals of the
whole AAA system, not only of farm
benefit payments but of the plan
for restricting crops with a view
to maintaining fair prices.
Plenty of schemes had been sug
gested, and seriously considered by
the President and his ndvisors be
fore AAA was born. Some of them
were hurriedly revived In the 48
hours after the Supreme court hand
ed down Its decision at noon on Jan
uary 0 l>efore the President started,
after lunch on Wednesday, to write
the speech he was to deliver that
night.
Needs Careful Study
But the President had a constitu
tional objection to approving a
whole program without careful
study, advice from a number of dif
ferent sources, und criticism from
widely varying angles. This explains
his love for appointing two or three
sets of committees to study. Inde
pendently. any given proposal—a
practice sometimes very annoying
and hardly fluttering to those In
volved, but rather beneficial at
times, to the President, himself.
And there wus no time for any
such functioning before the time
set for the big speech—hearing In
mind that the whole groundwork
had already been laid for the entire
campaign, hut that this groundwork
was totally destroyed by the Sn
preme court decision. Not only had
the court knocked the AAA higher
than Ilamun Is said to have been
hanged, but from the decision the
Inference wns clear that a number
of other New Deal fundamentals
were scheduled for the same fate.
One plan that has been under con
sideration for some fifteen years, the
so-called McNary-Haugen equaliza
tion fee system. Is believed by
shrewd constitutional lawyers to he
sure of running the Supreme court
gauntlet successfully. But there are
several objections to It, some politi
cal, some economic.
In the first place, It bears the
name, branded In so to speak, of two
Republicans, one of them. Senator
Charles L. McNary, actually the mi
nority leader at the present moment.
In the second place, the funda
mental Idea of the scheme would
be to solve the farm surplus prob
lem, but to make the farmer pay for
It WhereaB, the Roosevelt Idea hns
been to solve the farm surplus prob
lem and make the rest of the coun
try pay for It, on the theory that
the farmer for some years now has
been ground down way below “par
ity." Hence the necessity to raise
him np.
Townsend Plan
The Townsend plan Is unconstitu
tional, In the light of the Supreme
court decision on the Agricultural
Adjustment act, according to some
of the best constitutional lawyers
In Washington.
The part of the decision that sus
tains this view is the majority hold
ing that it is unconstitutional to
tax part of the people for the bene
fit of the others. This holding, it
Is contended, would effectively bar
the taxing of all the people for
the benefit of those more than sixty
years old.
Incidentally this will not be the
first time Doctor Townsend has
heard the point. It was made to
him rather effectively last year by
Senator William E. Borah, him
self rather highly regarded as
a constitutional lawyer. Senator
Borah wrote Doctor Townsend set
ting forth this argument, and sug
gesting that it would be wise for
the doctor to have a thorough study
of this question made.
It Is known that Doctor Town
send did have a lawyer go into the
subject, and forwarded to Senator
Borah this lawyer's opinion that
the Townsend plan was constitu
tional. It !s also known that Senator
Borah did not find this opinion very
convincing. Not only that, but he
let Doctor Townsend know of his
skepticism.
After this there were no develop
ments, so far as Senator Borah’s
colleagues know. Asked about the
matter, he merely suld he would
want to study the majority and
minority opinions of the Supreme
court In the AAA case thoroughly
before making any comment.
Provides an Excuse
All of which Is apt to change en
tirely one of the biggest possibili
ties for headaches to legislatures In
the present session of congress.
Also to change the entire line of the
Presidential campaign.
Thus many senators and repre
sentatives will be able to use the
excuse that under the Constitution
ns It now stands It would be sheer
folly to pass the Townsend plan.
Many of them will be delighted to
find some such excuse, for at pres
ent they feel—some of them at
least—that It la little short of po
litical suicide to commit themselves
either for or against the doctor's
proposal to grant $200 a month to
the aged.
But the rabid Townsendites, If
they become convinced that the Su
preme court would knock out their
plan even if they win a majority of
the house and senate and the Pres
ident, will naturally turn to the
constitutional amending method.
In the event that President Roose
velt decides to make his tight this
year on amending the Constitution
—or curbing the powers of the Su
preme court—the Townsendites will
be behind him.
How Farmers Stand?
The thing President Roosevelt
most wants to know right now Is
whether the farmers, deprived of
their farm benefit payments, will
place the blame on the Supreme
court or on the President. Wheth
er they will think a Constitution
which outlaws such a system us
Roosevelt and Secretary of Agri
culture Wullnce set up under AAA
should he changed, or whether
Roosevelt and Wallace should be
criticized for having sought wliut
has proved uu Illegal way of rais
ing the farmer out of his slough of
despond.
If the White House and Farley
scouts report hack In the next few
weeks that the farm belt Is ripe for
amending the Constitution, the Pres
ident will resume Ills abandoned
drive In that direction. I.t will he
recalled that after the high court’s
NKA decision the administration
was all set to rewrite the historic
charter.
Hut that time there was no misj
taking the popular reaction. The
folks rallied round the old docu
ment People who npproved every!
thing done by the NltA suddenly
did not want the Constitution
changed so ns to permit the con
tinuance of those very things. Which
would seem to prove that It Is not
always possible to predict accurate
ly what the reaction of the Ameri
can |>eople will be.
No one was more surprised than
Mr. Roosevelt himself that the Su
preme court AAA decision went sc
far. Actually the President had an
ticipated that the high court would
outluw the processing taxes. 11c
had a program all ready for that,
He Intended to ask congress to sub
stitute luxury and other specific
sales taxes for the processing taxes
outlawed by the court, In all
amounting to something approach
ing $<500,000,000 a year.
Rut he never dreamed that the
court would upset the farm benefit
payments.
Decision Settled It
Had he anticipated that the high
court was going so fur he would not
have laid so much stress in his reg
ular message to congress, delivered
before the joint session and over
the radio to the country, on wheth
er opponents of his measures would
vote to repeal them. The Supreme
court decision, coming so quickly
after it, settled that question.
A more Immediate problem even
thun whether the country wants
the Constitution amended Is how to
pay the farmers to whom the gov
ernment is now under obligation.
The court has held that the obllga
tlon has no justification In law,
which would seem to throw It out
the window. Hut the administra
tion is not anxious to risk so much
displeasure in the farm belt, even
on the chance that such resentment
may lie against the court and the
Constitution rather than ugalnst
Roosevelt and Wallace.
Also there must he worked out
some new farm plan. Even those
Inside the administration who have
been least enthusiastic about the
AAA system have agreed that some
thing had to be done for the farm
ers.

FLORIDA’S INDUSTRIES
Potential Turtle Soup From Florida.
Prepared b> NationaJ Qe«Hrraphic Society,
LWaahinKton. D. C-.—WNU Service.
EW tourists know industrial
Florida. There is no smoke
pall hanging over the state.
Perhaps more grime and pungent
factory smells would be a welcome
tonic for the state's commercial
progress; yet what factories lack
In size they make up In variety.
Output ranges from toys, turtle
soup and turpentine to shiploads
of dressed lumber, phosphates, and
cigars. For even more contrast,
add muny linear miles of snake and
alligator skins, wooden shoes, and
canned grapefruit, Jellies and mar
malades.
One mill at Jacksonville grinds
oyster shells and ships them by
the carload to California, to help
the digestions of Pacific coast poul
try ; another makes glass bottles
for Cuban breweries.
Palm fronds by the carload go
ns far North as Canada, for use
on Palm Sunday. Palmetto tiher is
made Into brushes. A college stu
dent puys his way by stuffing baby
alligators and selling them to tour
ists. He stuffed 300 In one season—
alligators, not babies!
Men wade on the bottom of the
sea, picking sponges as a farm boy
pulls turnips. They are scientifical
ly farmed and are shipped the
world around.
Schooners cruise as far away ns
the coast of Honduras, catching sea
turtles. Unloaded at Key West,
these turtles are first branded on
the breastplate with the Initials
of the loeul fishing company; then
they are put Into big tanks and fed
on seaweed; later some are sent
alive to New York hotels, their
flippers neatly folded across their
breasts and tied; others, guillo
tined on a well - worn beheading
block, are turned into canned soup
at Key West; but before any tur
tle can be taken from the tank he
has to pass an official Inspection.
Turtles may not have flat feet or
suffer from nervous disorders, but
now aud then oue is found in no
condition to go to market. He Is
thrown back into the sea. Then,
sometimes, a strange thing hap
pens; among a cargo of turtles
from Honduras, 700 miles away,
one Is found with the company’s
Initials already branded on his bony
breast. Condemned and thrown
back Into the sea, turtles, it seems,
swim all the way back to Hondu
ras from Florida, only to be caught
again!
Fuller's Earth Mill.
Near Quincy, in north Florida, is
a big building with wheels, roll
ers and hoppers, like a Hour mill;
but it grinds dirt—fuller’s earth.
Steam shovels scoop up the clay
like substance by the nere. It is
dried, ground, sifted, sacked, and
shipped to oil refineries ull over
the world. Through this tine pow
dery dust the oil is filtered. Dry
cleaners use It to take out grease
spots. It has many other uses;
even the day used in beauty shops
Includes It.
In beds of this earth workmen
often find the bones of ancient an
imals. Scientists from the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History
dug up the fossilized body of a
manatee. The remains of saher
toothcd tigers, prehistoric little
horses, and even of camels ages
old, have been found In Florida.
A man sits on u high chair and
reads aloud to workers in Florida
cigar factories. They call him n
“lector." He Is an old institution
among Cuban cigar-makers, like the
public story-teller In oriental ba
zars.
Many cigars are made at Key
West and some at Miami and Jack
sonville, but the Industry centers
at Tampa, with Its 200 factories,
big and little. One of them turns
out upward of half a million a day.
Much of the tobacco used is im
ported from Cuba. Some is grown
in Florida and wrapper leaf also
comes from northern states.
Cheaper cigars are made by clev
er machines, whose movements
often curiously resemble the mo
tions made by the hands of a hu
man cigar maker. More expensive
cigars, of the size and shape known
to the trade as coronas, royals, per
fectos, panetelas, etc., are all made
by hand. Three workers, sitting in
a row at the same bench, form
a team. They are paid by the thou
sand. This grouping of workers
Into threes is not done by the man
•cunent; it is left to the cigar
I
makers themselves, to choose their
benehmates. The finishing touch
on every cigar is putting on the
wrapper and pasting the closed end
shut with a dash of gum.
From the workbench cigars go on
to bigger tables, where they are
sorted for color and perfection of
form. Fancy colored hands are put
on hy machines, at the rate of 50,
000 an hour, the whole process run
by two girls. After being packed,
each box is labeled and one of Un
cle Sam’s green revenue stamps af
fixed. That, briefly, from leaf to
box, Is how Florida makes 600,000,
000 cigars a year.
Pine and Its Products.
Thick pine woods covered all of
north Florida when white men first
came. Today, at dawn, In these
pine woods, the earth smells as
fresh as if It had just been cre
ated. The pine was and still is
the chief nutural resource of the
state. Lumber and its allies, tur
pentine and rosin, are the state’s
chief manufactured products.
Throughout much of all middle
and nortli Florida you ride through
forests of pine and see trees
“cupped” or scarified for turpen
tine. Pungent fumes from wayside
stills weight the air. To tap a tree
and draw off Its resinous gum, bark
Is chipped off in strips a few inches
above ground; then cups of metal
or clay are placed under these cuts
to catch the gum. It takes many
thousands of trees to keep one fair
sized turpentine mill running,
which works just as does an alco
hol still.
Turpentine and its associated
product, resin, are*kmown as “naval
stores” because originally their
chief use was in shipbuilding. To
day turpentine goes mostly Into
paints and varnishes and rosin goes
into paper, hard soap, and many
other commodities. A few big mills
in the state now grind up pine
stumps and other waste lumber
and steam these chips In great boil
ers, extracting not only turpentine
and rosin, but pine oil and other
ingredients useful in industry and
medicine.
Besides various pines, Florida
also yields much cypress lumber,
from a tree which grows with its
feet in water. Some of the world’s
largest cypress mills are here.
There is red gum, too, and black
gum, thougli not in quantities, and
time was when Florida live - oak
timbers were in much demand
among northern shipbuilders. This
live oak and its cousin, the water
oak, are beautiful trees, especially
when festooned with long, graceful
filaments of Spanish moss, as one
sees them along certain stretches
of the Suwannee river.
Great Place for Anglers.
When one considers the number
of golf players the ancient game
has developed in the United States,
then multiplies the total by perhaps
ten, some idea of the army which
swears by fishing as a hobby may
be imagined and the lure of Flor
ida's teeming waters for the fol
lowers of Izaak Walton pictured.
Our government experts may sci
entifically estimate the hidden sup
ply of coal, ore, oil, and relative
natural resources, but no one has
the temerity to try to gauge the
crop of the fish life of the Gulf
stream, except to prove that there
are more than 000 known varieties
and others being steadily added to
the list. The warm waters off the
east coast and corresponding con
ditions in the Gulf of Mexico, on
the western side, are perhaps une
quuled the world around as na
ture's own Incubator of marine life.
Just offshore on either coast the
piscatorial enthusiast finds his
happy hunting ground. The sea
is alive with such fighting tribes
men as tarpon, sallfish, marlin, al
bacore, tuna, barracuda, wuhoo, am
ber jack, dolphin, grouper, and
many others familiar to salt-water
fishermen. On the coral barrier
reefs, but five miles off the east
coast, extending from Miami Beach
to Key West, endless varieties of
smaller fishes abound, finding their
food as well as a fair protection
from natural enemies in the holes
and crannies of the submerged
coral ramparts. Great schools of
Spanish mackerel, kingfish, and the
lowly mullet migrate up and down,
serving their never-satisfied appe
tites, but always on the lookout for
a thousand foes who lie in wait
behind coral head and sea fern to
strike.

Middle Age end Overweight
ABOUT ten or twelve years ago
health stood first as an ad
vertising appeal. That is in all
the advertising about comfort,
luxury, wealth, economy, beauty
and other subjects the benefit to
health — freedom from illness —
stood first. Today health still stands
first, and despite our carelessness and
thoughtlessness, we know in our
hearts that the biggest asset In life is
good health. Twelve
Dr. Barton
years ago beauty stood
thirtieth on the list as
an advertising appeal;
today beauty stands
right at the top shar
ing lirst place with
health. Naturally the
appearance of the
body is Important to
beauty; hence we see
the widespread de
mand for methods of
bringing the weight to
within normal limits.
In fnct the tendency has been to over
do the reducing of weight In an at
tempt to obtain a willowy or boyish
figure.
Every overweight Individual knows
that he or she eats too much. The
amount of food eaten may not be as
much as that eaten regularly by thin
and normal Individuals but neverthe
less It Is too much food for his or her
particular body.
All overweights know that If they
will reduce the intake the weight will
gradually come off. Many of them hon
estly try to reduce weight by eating
less food but on the first feeling of
weakness they become afraid and feel
they were simply meant to be fat and
do nothing more about It.
Looking for Short Cuts.
Others are looking for a short cut
to weight reduction. They are reading
about all that medical science io now
able to do for other conditions—dia
betes, smallpox, scarlet fever, malaria,
yellow fever—and so expect that
something can be done to reduce
weight without having to reduce the
amount of food eaten.
Now medical science can help some
who are overweight. By simply meas
uring the rate at which the body proc
esses work It Is learned whether these
processes are working too slowly to
burn or use up the excess fat tissue
and If so thyroid extract Is given which
increases the rate at which the body
processes work and so fat Is gradually
removed.
However, Dr. W. A. Styles pointed out
some truths in Hygeia some months
ago: “Seemingly there is no end to
the number of tablets, powders, and
prescription nostrums used in the In
ternal treatment of overweight. If
these products contain thyroid extract,
they may be effective by rapidly burn
ing up the food and tissue instead of
storing them, but only at the cost of
an Increased pulse rate, palpitation,
fever, tremors, sleeplessness, and gen
eral lassitude or tiredness. Such a
powerful drug should never be em
ployed by overweights themselves ns
its use with lack of supervision has
led to serious consequences.”
Some Sports Strain Heart.
Many middle-aged men who have let
themselves become overweight with a
real "middle-age spread” rightly decide
that it is exercise they need and sud
denly plunge Into hard muscular exer
cise which at their time of life and in
their "soft” condition may do serious
harm.
For Instance “badminton looks like
a simple game” and is deservedly pop
ular at athletic and social clubs, but
as a matter of fact it ranks with ten
nis and is only second to basketball In
its strain on the heart and blood ves
sels. 1
What the middle-aged man needs
first is to cut down on his food intake,
do considerable walking, and then go
Into a gymnasium for systematic exer
cise about three times a week.

X-Ray Examination of Teeth
When a physician believes that a
patient is suffering with some infec
tion, he ldoks for the likely places
where Infection is most commonly
found. He thus starts with the teeth,
then the tonsils, then gall bladder, then
Intestine and then sinuses adjoining
the nose.
If the teeth have crowns or show
that they have had the pulp (nerve and
blood vessels) removed, he sends the
patient to have an X-ray examination.
The X-ray will show if there is any
Infection about the roots of the teeth
by casting a dark shadow. When this
is discovered the teeth are usually ex
tracted although sometimes continued
treatment may save them.
Dr. Wilbur H. Gilmore’s suggestion
Is that the X-ray specialist should have
in mind the patient tirst and his ex
amination and his report should be
such that when it reaches the dentist
by way of the physician that the in
fection of the teeth und gums, the
presence of cavities, the way the up
per and lower teeth meet one another,
should all be included.
The whole thought of course in all
such situations is that the patient Is
really the only one who needs to be
considered for it Is his mouth, his
teeth, his infection and his chewing
surface that is in the balance. Find
ing out and doing all they can for him
Is the duty of the physician, X-ray spe
cialist, and dentist.

Baked in a Pie
By DAPHNE A. McVICKER
© McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.
AUDREY sang a joyful little
song as she whisked and patted
the soft mound of pastry and rolled
it out to the correct fraction of an
inch of thickness.
She put a sudden foolish little
kiss on the revolving handle of her
rolling pin, and laughed at her
self. Happiness—it used to be just
a word. Just something out of a
song, the sort of songs she sang as
entertainer in the cheap little res
taurant around the corner. It was
a different kind of word now. just
as the song she sang was a differ
ent kind of song. “Four and twen
ty blackbirds," Audrey’s young
voice soared in the old nursery
rhyme, “baked in a pie.”
Security — a home, the golden
curly head of the baby who played
in the living room, the husband
who worked in the factory office
across the street. As she thought
of him she ran to the window and
looked out. It • gave Audrey a
warm sense of reassurance just to
see the window there, and to know
that Bill was going cheerfully
about his w'ork.
But she did not turn away at
once to go back to her baking. She
stood very still and a cold hand
seemed to press around her throat
—that white throat that gleamed
above the pink bungalow apron.
For there was a car parked out
side the office, just around the edge
of the curb. There was a man in
the car. And Audrey knew both
the car and the man.
They belonged to a time when
there had been no security. When
happiness was a word in a song.
When Audrey was drifting because
she didn't know how to stop, into
hearing confidences that terrified
and chilled her. When Audrey was
on the verge, because she didn’t
know how not to be, of becoming
that harried, hunted thing, a
“gangster’s moll.” Before Bill came
into the restaurant one evening
and carried her off. Bill knew
about it—the hazardous drifting of
the young girl who didn’t know any
better—the stopping just short of
disaster.
She was a wife, now. Bill’s wife.
She was the mother of golden
haired little Billy and her rich
young voice was used in singing
lullabies. She made more use of
the knowledge she had gained
around in the kitchen of the restau
rant watching the chef than she
did of her career as entertainer.
She had loved every bit of the
housekeeping so that she had In
sisted on packing Bill’s lunch every
day and taking it over to him, fresh
cooked by her own hnnds.
She wouldn’t be taking it over
today. For a car that she knew,
with a sawed off shotgun in a crev
ice, was waiting outside the office.
Payroll day. Bill would eat his
lunch and then take the payroll
over to the factory, from the of
fice. But—he would never reach
there.
Panic came up in Audrey's throat
and choked her. The little white
house with its home-made cushions
and its fat little blue dishes rocked
about her.
They wouldn’t let her go into the
office. They wouldn’t let anybody
go fn, for there was a sentry pac
ing up and down, now, turning
away anybody who came to the
door.
“Sing some more, Mummy,” the
baby called. “Sing more twenty
blackbirds.”
Audrey stood very still. They
had no telephone. Bill had thought
it unnecessary, so near the office.
“Baked in a pie—” hnuimed lit
tle Billy.
Audrey’s knees were shaking so
that they scarcely held her up. But
she had picked up the rolling pin
again. She was patting out the
dough.
When she hnd packed the lunch
box, when she had tacked it into
little Billy's mittened hand, she
stood at the window watching him,
both fists pressed against her
mouth. She was sending him, her
baby, to almost certain danger. To
death, perhaps. For they were hard,
ruthless men, unmoved by any de
cent sentiments.
Risking the baby—
She saw him look carefully up
and down the street as she had
taught him. She saw him trudge
proudly across, his bright head
high with pride of his errand.
When Billy hnd disappeared In
side the office door, Audrey hung
to the curtains, determined not to
faint.
Ten minutes later a car pushed
its way close up to the waiting
car by the curb. It pushed It close,
pocketing the other. Blue uni
fonmed men jumped out. Another
was already clasping handcuffs on
the wrists of the sentry.
It was all over. Bill had sent
in the alarm and the police had
the thieves hard and fast. Audrey
ran across the street and almost
fell Inside the door. Bill held her
fast, his face down on hers. He
had been showing the police what
was on his desk.
Dainty and crisp and brown,
tucked into fluted grace around the
edges by the pressure of a small
thumb, was the little pie. And in
side it, where the cover had been
splintered by the knife, was the
folded paper bearing the warning
message.

THREE STEPS
-I-1 TO RELIEV1N8
1 -1C0NST1PATTOR
A cleansing dose today; a smaller
quantity tomorrow; less each time,
until bowels need no help at all.
Why do people come home from a
hospital with bowels working like a
well-regulated watch?
The answer is simple, and it’s the
answer to all your bowel worries if
you will only realize it: many doctors
and hospitals use liquid laxatives.
If you knew what a doctor knows*
you would use only the liquid form.
A liquid can always be taken in
gradually reduced doses. Reduced
dosage is the secret of any real relief
from constipation.
Ask a doctor about this. Ask your
druggist how very popular liquid
laxatives have become. They give the
right kind of help, and right amount
of help. The liquid laxative generally
used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin.
It contains senna and cascara — both
natural laxatives that can form no
habit, even in children. So, try Syrup
Pepsin. You just take regulated
doses till Nature restores regularity.
And Then—
A few like to assume responsi
bility ; and almost always they can
be accommodated.
