The Blue Eagle It Heard
It rather looks as if the American people are perfect-
ly willing to go out of their way to trade only with deal-
ers who fly the Blue Eagle.
Theodore Rahutis dime-and-dance place proprietor
of Gary lnd. lost his Blue Eagle on Oct. 6 after it was
charged that his wage scales and working schedules did
ndt conform to the NRA standard.
Rahutis went to the compliance board demonstrated
finally that he was paying more than the minimum and
working his employes less than the maximum allowed
and got his Blue Eagle back.
He had operated without it just one month. And
during that month he says his business fell off 50 per
cent. As he put up anew the six Blue Eagles that decorate
his windows he said “Oh boy am I glad to have ’em
back!”
A neat little demonstration this that the NRA in-
signia has a very good cash value for the business man.
Relief From Worry
The announcement from Washington that the United
States fleet is to be concentrated in the Atlantic next
spring—for the first time in about four years—is when
you stop to think about it good news.
Both the battle and scouting fleets have been in Pa-
cific waters of late and it was impossible to avoid the
impression that the government in keeping them there
was devoting at least a part of its attention to the pos-
sibility of trouble with Japan: Furthermore the Japa-
nese themselves got this impression. Our concentration
off California certainly did nothing to relieve the tense-
ness of the relations between the two nations.
If the fleet is coming back to the Atlantic it can
only mean that Washington has good reason for believing
we are going to remain at peace with Japan. And by
the same token the fleet’s presence in the Atlantic ought
to remove from Japanese minds a reason for suspicion and
hostility.
Breaking the Rules
One thing Maxim Litvinoff has done in his visit to the
United States is change our conception of the typical red
Russian official.
For one reason or another most of us got the no-|
tion that the Communist was a dour fanatical intensely]
serious chap who wore bushy whiskers was careless of'
his attire frowned portentously and went about always!
as if the last trumphet had sounded and he found himself
among the goats instead of the sheep.
This Litvinoff however seems to be something else
again. He is not exactly a dandy but he is careful of his
dress. He smiles frequently evinces a child-like freshness;
of interest in things jokes with reporters beams upon
the world at large—and in fact wins from feminine
newspaper readers the adjective “cute.”
He doesn’t somehow fill the bill. A Communist dip-
lomat ought not to be getting quite so much fun out of
life.

The World At
a Glance
By LESLIE EICBEL
Much lias was made over the
electio i ol a Socialist mayor in
Bridgeport Conn. But it is New
York—not Bridgeport— which is
likely to see • socialist" experiments
When Fiorello H. La Guardla be-
comes mayor of New York on Jan-
uary l he will have a free hand—
he will be bound by no political
organization.
Men who were elected with him
are Republicans but it is evident
they are willing to •permit" the ex-
periments in return for the ma-
jorities that La Ouardla. a popular
vote getter gives them in vital
elections.
Public non-profit-making beer
gardens on the banks of New
York s rivers will not be all of :.he
proposals La Guardla will make for
the benefit of the people of Amer-
icas largest city. He has in mind
municipal short-cuts that will save
millions in salaries and expenses.
• He has no political organization's
coffers to fill wth money from the
public till.
Indeed La Guardla s reforms may
become so popular that the people
themselves in other cities may
turn upon the old system of munic-
ipal ousgovemment and drive the
political gangs from city halls.
Not the least ol La Guardias
beliefs is that he himself ought to
be turned out of office—through
the institution of city manageship.

TOURIST TRADE
It may seem curious perhaps
ironic that the greatest ‘trade”
Russia itself may expect from the
United States in all likelihood will
be the tourist trade.
American curiosity concerning
Russia is at a high point— and
Russia is looked upon as a possible
summer tourist spot. '
The American dollar probably
will be worth more in the /Soviet
I republic than elsewhere for one
thing because of close trade ties.
France and England are proving
too expensive.
Germany has ruied itself 01K as
a tourist country.
Italy will be the one contender
abroad with Russia for the Ameri-
can tourist business.
You may look for the advent cf
tourist ships replete with luxuries
between the United States and Rus-
sia

FORTUNES MADE
Those of wealth who foresaw the
banking crisis last March and who
transferred large sums to England
have made fortunes.
The pound sterling has risen
against the dollar from $3 45 last
March 1 to more than $5.50.
The flight of capital from the
United States to England is ap-
proximated at one billion dollars.
President Roosevelt on owning in-
to power put an embargo on the
transfer of actual money—but one
still may buy foreign x>nds and
stocks in the United States.
• • •
England doesn't desire the flight
of American capital to Its shores.
It would rather hare a stable dol-
lar.
London banks are said to have i
$700000000 in American deposits.
That money can't be reinvested by
English banks. They dent dare
Americans some day (when the
dollar is stabilized* will withdraw
that sum unceremoniously and
ship it back to the United States
Then American securities will
bound upward.
The English attack the policy of
an unstabilizee dollar because It
disrupts world money markets. And
England exists only by means of
trade and exchange.
At the moment England looks
upoQ the United States as worse
than Russia in that country's early I
Communist stages. After all. Rus-
sia tried “merely” a political ex-
periment. The United States chief j
commercial nation of the world
tries literally to drive money from
the market place—and If that isn't
heretical what else can be In the !
world of business?
m m m
Another indication of a changing I
policy In the inner circles of the ;
Roosevelt administration may be |
gleaned from the appointment of i
Francis B Sayre as assistant secre-
tary of state. Tills Harvard pro-
fessor. who was a son-in-law of!
President Wilson is an expert at i
drawing commercial treaties. He
may be termed an “internationalist.’*
The administration seems to be
definitely turning from nationalism
to internationalism—for the pur-
pose of trade at least.

I Many persons having infantile
! paralysis are suffering from paraly-
sis and deformity because they fail-
ed to get the proper treatment by a
(competent specialist. It isn’t too late
j however to correct such trouble even
| in the acute stages of this disease.
Infantile paralysis attacks in an
insidious manner in many cases and
j physicians frequently aee paralyzed
! children who have had this disease
j without recognizing its true charac-
ter. In the presence of an epidemic
the discovery is likely to be made
early. When epidemics are not pres-
j ent however the condition may be
overloc ed.
Infantile paralysis is due to an
I infection which attacks the cells in
the front columns of the spinal cord.
These cells control the movement
of the limbs and muscles. When the
cells are in flammed greatly it is
Impossible to move the limbs but
after the inflammation disappears
r.nd if the cells have not been de-
stroyed the movement may return.
• • •
It should be obvious that the
functioning or working of any in-
flammed tissue is bad for it. That
is why a specialist is necessary. He
most likely will fix the limbs and
tissues in the most suitable posi-
tion and in that way prevent move-
ment until the acute inflammatory
stage is over. From six to eight
weeks may be necessary for the
damaged nerve oells to make as
much of a recovery as possible.
While the muscles and tissues ate
at rest during this period it is im-
portant that they be kept In a posi-
tion in which there is no strain on
them. One specialist says that even
j the weight of the bedclothes may
cause excess pressure on the limbs
and that the placing of pillows
1 under the knees may start deformi-
ties.
Simply propping the patient up in ]
j bed may cause a disturbance in the |
back iff there is pain and roreness
j in the muscles the use of heat and j
rest usually will bring relief.
• mm
From six to eight weeks after the
acute condition has passed the ten -1
| demess will have disappeared and !
j some power will return to the mus-
cles. This is the time when muscle
training and massage should be be-
gun.
Then patients are encouraged to j
. move the joints but never should
be permitted to work to the point I
| of fatigue Far too often parents I
who do not understand urge the j
child to move or permit it to be
; manipulated by incompetent mas-
seurs or healers with the result that !
irreparable damage ensues.
At this period exercises tinder
water are especially vaiauble be-
cause the buoyancy of the water
permits movement without strain or
stress.
The most important treatment in
the early stages of infantile paraly- j
sis is rest and the avoidance of1
undesirable manipulation.

over whether or not he will take
his young daughter Anne to Mos-

her like an equal discusses poli-

By his intimates the envoy is
nicknamed '‘Explosive'’ Bullitt
Probably one of his most pleasing
oharacterbl.es Is the typically
American friendly technique that
he has for calling important folks
by their first names almost upon
sight. They all seem to like it as
well as Premier MacDonald who
was obviously amused when Bullitt
quickly called him “Ramsey
