COURT CHANGE
IS DANGEROUS.
DEAN ASSERTS
Fordham U. Expert Is
Strongly Opposed to
Judicial Meas u r e s
t Favored By F. D.
WASHINGTON. April 7. (AV-
Ignatius M Wilkinson dean of Ford-
ham University law school declar-
ed Wednesday the Roosevelt court
program was dangerous to the con-
tinuance of constitutional de-
mocracy.
“Its ultimate effects will tend to
undermine the independence of the
supreme court and indirectly of all
oourts" he said in a statement pre-
pared for the senate judiciary com-
mittee
The administration bill he said
seeks to create vacancies in the su-
preme court to enable the president
to appoint Justices who would be
responsive to his views on social
legislation
'The real objection to the atti
tude of the supreme court on
TNB-45 of many people supporting
the plan.” Wilkinson testified “is
not alone that the position of the
court is a departure from the true
meaning of the constitution in con-
struing. for example the general wel-
fare clause but rather that the judi-
cial views in question are unpopular
and out of step with the times.
"If the supreme court is to be made
to respond always to the prevalent
sentiment of the moment ultimately
it must become wholly subservent to
public opinion.”
James O. Monroe democratic state
senator in Illlncis. testifying late
Tuesday against the bill urged sub-
stitution of a constitutional amend-
ment.
Prank Gannett newspaper pub-
lisher and chairman of the national
committee to uphold constitutional
government in a telegram to Vice
President Garner asked that the
senate repudiate a speech by Post-
master General Farley "implying
executive control over the delibera-
tions of the senate ’’
Gannett said Parley had asserted:
“We have let the senate talk all it
wants. Then the house will talk and
after they are talked out. he will
call the roll. We have plenty of
votes to put over the president’s
program.”

DON’T SCRATCH
SOOTHE THE
IRRITATION
Quick relief from the maddening
.tch of eczema psoriasis poison
ivy. and irritation about the rectum
or personal parts is obtained by ap-
plying an ointment called Resinol.
I^ave it on over night. It lessens
the desire to scratch and eases the
irritation.
The soothing effect of Resinol
takes the sting out of the irritated
parts and makes you comfortable.
The skin heals sooner too with the
help of Resinol.
The oily base of Resinol Oint-
ment is ideal for penetrating the
outer layers of the skin and secur-
ing deeper action. Bathing the af-
fected parta first with Resinol Soap
hastens the effectiveness of Resinol
Ointment. Many nurses suggest
and use Resinol —why don’t you
it?

SCHOOL GUARDS
ARE SUGGESTED
State Safety Agency Is
Being Urged
________
AUSTIN. April 7. uP)—A legisla-
tive committee which has been in-
vestigating the New London school
explosion in which hundreds of chil-
dren lost their lives had before it j
Wednesday additional suggestions on
how such a disaster might be pre-
vented in the future.
Recommendations of witnesses at
a hearing Tuesday night included
one that a state agency be created
to receive reports from all commer-
cial handlers of gas and oil as to
safety methods they utilize.
Others were that gas mains not be
laid under buildings that vents to
the outside atmosphere be provided
lor all heaters space under first
floors be eliminated steam heating
plants be isolated where possible
and that automatic cutoffs be install-
ed to operate in cases of pressure
fluctuations.
W. M. Welch engineer with the
state railroad commission who rec-
ommended the “safety bureau" ex-
pressed opinion such an agency
would result in wide diffusion of
knowledge about the bpst protective
measures and cause a decrease In
accidents in connection with gas and
oil operations.
Herbert Voelcker of Wichita Falls
an architect said that If the piping
had circled the building at New
London Instead of being under It the
disaster probably never would have
occurred.
J. Fred Horn of the state depart-
ment of education suggested that all
existing state safety laws be brought
together and modernized.

SAVED TIME
A few dollars spent on the kitchen will return hun-
dreds of dollars in convenience saved time and lessened
work—and less time and work in the kitchen means more
time for leisure.
A new Gas Range with its many new conveniences
and features will give many extra hours to the housewife
for other duties or pleasures. Natural Gas is a faster fuel
since it delivers makimum heat from the instant the burn-
ers are lighted and consequently there is no lost time in
waiting for the proper heat to be reached. When you use
Natural Gas you can control oven cooking temperatures
closer than with any other fuel. This means added time
saved in the kitchen.
See these new Gas Ranges today. Note their beauty
and rugged construction. Inspect the time saving devices
that are built into the range itself. Learn their low prices
and how easily they may be purchased. Then pick out
your stove and discover for yourself how much time can
be saved in your kitchen.
