War-tom China’s biggest boast is
her constantly growing national

has made Generalissimo Chiang

been able to make much of a show-

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
No matter how many medicines,
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may get relief now with
Creomulsion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy
less potent than Creomulsion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to soothe and heal
the inflamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ-
laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. Creomulsion is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you’ll get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (Adv.)

The announcement by President Roosevelt recently of the completion of plans for the training ot
20,000 college students annually as civilian pilots, with a consequent increase in the nation’s air force, has
proved exciting to aircraft manufacturers. Above is a view inside the North American Aviation, Inc., plant
near Inglewood, Calif. The basic combat and 0-47 observation assembly lines are seen, with 0-47 wings visi-
ble in the foreground.
nedy urged construction of smaller
ocean vessels as protection against
the day when seaplanes would speed
mail and passengers from Europe
to America. Test flights had al-
ready been underway a year, and
the Kennedy prediction has now
been sustained by announcement
that Imperial AirWays of London
will start weekly transatlantic serv-
ice before next June. Forerunning
21-hour passenger service between
Southampton and Montreal, four
40,200-pound flying boats will make
two flights each way every week.
On first flights the boats will carry
6,000 pounds of mail and 18 passen-
gers, though only mail will be trans-
ported until the schedule is thor-
oughly tested. Still to be announced
are plans for next summer’s trans-
atlantic travel by U. S.-operated
Pan-American Airwys. Air France
Trans-Atlantique will start in 1940.

Morris Sheppard offered his com-
mittee’s report on campaign expen-
ditures. Skipping lightly over the
routine fact that some campaigns
cost nothing while another (that of
Ohio’s Robert P. Taft)* cost $159,-
451.37, the committee outlined re-
sults of relief-politics inquiries in 18
states. Sample allegations:
Kentucky. Gov. Albert B. (“Hap-
py”) Chandler collected about $70,-
000 from state employees whose sal-
aries came partly or wholly from
federal funds. His successful oppo-
nent, Sen. Alben W. Barkley, re-
ceived $24,000 from federal employ-
ees, but his campaign manager de-
nied all but $2,000.
Pennsylvania. WPA state high-
way work cards were issued to high
school children, who returned to
their classes without doing any
work.
Tennessee. Federal employees
were solicited for contributions;
WPA labor was used to repair pri-
vate roads.
Illinois. In Cook county, 450 men
were added to state highway crews,
70 of whom did no work other than
canvass their respective precincts.
No criticism was directed at for-
mer WPA Administrator Harry
Hopkins, nor was action taken
against any candidate. The pathetic
truth is that no individual office-
seeker could be singled out without
ripping open an unwholesome, futile
investigation. Instead the commit-
tee contented itself with 16 sugges-
tions for cleaning up elections, most
of which would provide loopholes,
few of which could be enforced with-
out interfering with private rights.
Sample suggestions:
(1) Prohibition against political
contributions by relief recipients and
legislation forbidding relief officials
to influence votes.
(2) Legislation limiting individual
contributions to candidates, pre-
venting corporation donations and
requiring complete reports of cam-
paign costs.
(3) Consideration of legislation to
make all political contributions by
federal workers illegal.
The most applauded recommen-
dation called for curtailment of the
congressional franking (free mail-
1 ing) privilege. This recalled the
annual report of Postmaster Gen-
eral James J. Farley, made a few
days earlier, which pointed out that
1 abuse of the franking privilege was
I in a large part responsible for the
post office department’s deficit.
Help Thom Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
' Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re-
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis-
order may be burning, scanty or too
frequent urination.

January I found the U. S. and
Great Britain invoking their new
Low-tariff trade pact, designed pri-
marily to stimulate business, but
also to furnish a strong “white man’s
Eront” against dictator states. A
few days later Britain made a
strong show of enthusiasm over
President Roosevelt’s anti-dictator
speech (See WHITE HOUSE). But
if these two signs indicate a policy
of “parallel action” between Wash-
ington and London, several other
gestures by Britain hardly fit into
the picture.
Smart “parallel action” would
call for British adoption of the U. S.

Politics
Since the dim day when Ameri-
ca’s first pork barrel was burst
open, politicians have legally or il-
I legally used federal funds to further
their personal ends. Pork-barreling
was simple, and usually honest,
when it involved no more than a
। U. S.-sponsored post office, highway
■ or bridge. But since 1933 the old-
fashioned pork barrel has been sup-
planted by relief projects, building
up huge payrolls among unemployed
people who will cast their votes
not necessarily for the right man,
but for the man who will protect
their jobs. Three square meals a
day have a far greater vote-getting
appeal than any miscellaneous fa-
vor a congressman could pull from
the pork barrel.
In an election year, political
abuse of relief funds becomes a par-
amount danger. Therefore congress
received no jolt when Texas’ Sen.
