Congress Session Ends
'T'HE Seventy - Fifth congress
l brought its labors to a close and
adjourned, thanked by President
Roosevelt for the constructive legis-
lation it had enacted. In its one
special and two regular sessions
this congress set a peace time rec-
ord by appropriating more than 20
billion dollars.
Almost at the last moment the
3?;! billion dollar relief and pump
priming bill was enacted into law.
The house accepted a senate
amendment boosting the appropri-
ation for administrative expenses
of the Rural Electrification adminis-
tration from $500,000 to $750,000.
Agreement was reached on the
300 million dollar second deficiency
bill when the senate concurred in
the action of the house in knock-
ing out $325,000 to purchase addi-
tional land for the Lake Tahoe Na-
tional park and $1,300,000 for for-
estry.
Both senate and house repassed
over the President’s veto the bill
continuing the 3 Ms per cent interest
on Federal Land bank loans on farm
mortgages.
Scores of bills of varying degrees
of importance were lost in the con-
fusion of the last hours of the ses-
sion. Among them was the bill
authorizing federal law enforcement
officers to tap wires to get evidence
of violations of law.
The relief and pump priming law
as enacted includes one billion 425
million dollars for the Works Prog-
ress administration for a period of
eight months, beginning July 1; 175
million dollars for the Farm Secur-
ity administration; 75 million dol-
lars for the National Youth admin-
istration, and 965 million dollars for
the Public Works administration. It
authorizes the PWA to lend up to
400 million dollars from the sale of
securities pledged for previous PWA
loans. It increases the lending limit
of the United States Housing au-
thority for low cost housing from
500 million to 800 million dollars.
It appropriates 212 million dollars
for additional “price adjustment’’
subsidies to farmers.
Senator
Van Nuys
Senators to Aid Van Nuys
FREDERICK VAN NUYS, senior
* senator from Indiana, is going to
run for re-election as an independ-
ent because he was read out of the
Democratic party
for opposing the Su-
preme court and
government reor-
ganization bills.
Now 11 Democratic
senators have come
forward to support
him and will speak
in his campaign.
They are:
Bennett Champ
Clark, Missouri;
Burton K. Wheeler,
Montana; Josiah W.
Bailey, North Carolina; Royal S.
Copeland, New York; Harry Flood
Byrd, Virginia; Joseph C. O’Maho-
ney, Wyoming; Edward R. Burke,
Nebraska; Tom Connally, Texas;
Peter G. Gerry, Rhode Island; Mil-
lard E. Tydings, Maryland, and Guy
M. Gillette, Iowa.
Joining with them are two Repub-
lican senators, William E. Borah of
Idaho and Arthur H. Vandenburg of
Michigan.

Wage Bill Now Law
\\T AGE-HOUR legislation, key-
VV stone of the President’s so-
cial reform program, was put
through congress in modified form
just before adjournment. The con-
ference committee compromise was
accepted by the house 290 to 89.
About half the Republican mem-
bers gave in and voted for the meas-
ure, but 48 of them and 41 Demo-
crats were recorded against it.
This act, approved by organized
labor and generally opposed by big
business, is designed to establish a
40 cent minimum hourly wage and
a 40 hour maximum work week in
interstate industries in seven years.
It will achieve the goal by easy
stages, beginning with a 25 cent
wage and a 44 hour week in affected
industries the first year and gradu-
ating to 30 cents and 40 hours in
three years.
Thereafter quasi-public industrial
boards dominated by a federal ad-
ministrator, will fix the 40-40 scale
conditions, and, in conformance
with the major concession to the
South, will exempt industries which
can prove the scales will work an
economic hardship.
Child labor under fourteen years
of age is outlawed, except in season-
al and other specified industries.
Specific exemption is provided for
farm workers, processors in the area
of production, executives, adminis-
trative and professional help, local
retailing employees, seamen, air
transport workers, seasonal indus-
tries, employees of weekly or semi-
weekly papers whose circulation is
less than 3,000, those whose hours
are regulated by the motor carrier
act, those under wage agreements,
handlers of perishable goods and
those represented by a collective
bargaining agency.
Lewis Twice Rebuffed
TP WICE in the last days of the ses-
-*■ sion John L. Lewis, C. I. O.
chieftain, virtually ordered con-
gress to pass the amendment to the
Walsh-Healy govern-
ment contracts bill
so corporations that
refused to obey
NLRB orders could
be blacklisted. Both
times Lewis was re-
buffed when Speak-
er Bankhead refused
to permit suspension
of the rules to bring
the bill up in the
house. The rules
committee o f t h e
house was overwhelmingly against
this action.
Lewis and some of his C. I. O.
lieutenants had boldly marched into
the speaker’s office to make their
demand, and Lewis had summoned
congressmen before him in the
room, this arrogance arousing ex-
treme resentment. When he had
been turned down a second time
Lewis was enraged and threatened
reprisal at the polls. Calling re-
porters from the press gallery, he
said to them:
“The action of the rules commit-
tee is cowardly and pusillanimous.
“In a short time congress will ad-
journ, and many of the members
will return to their districts seeking
support as friends of labor. We
want to know how good a friend
they are before we give them our
support.”
J. L. Lewis
Great Floods in China
pOURING through broken dikes,
* the waters of the Yellow river
inundated many hundreds of square
miles in central China. In the first
two or three days of the great flood
it was estimated 150,000 Chinese
were drowned and several times as
many rendered homeless. Millions
of others were threatened by the
swirling waters. The fate of thou-
sands of Japanese soldiers in the
area was not known but it was
thought many of them must have
perished.
Far from the war and flood fronts,
the Shanghai municipal council of-
ficially declared cholera to be epi-
demic in Shanghai. In the city’s
hospitals there were 123 cases, 73
of them originating in foreign-ad-
ministered areas.
In the Yangtze river valley Japa-
nese continued their drive by land
and by gunboat against Hankow.

SEND A REGIMENT? ISO,
SEND FOUR MEN
'T'HE difference between the
-*• American and Canadian meth-
ods of handling troublesome Indi-
ans was clearly demonstrated back
in the late nineties when about four
hundred Wood Cree Indians, fear-
ing that they would be involved in
the violation of a certain treaty be-
tween all the Cree tribes and the
Canadian government, sneaked qui-
etly away from their reservation in
small groups one night and slipped
across the border into Montana.
Upon assembling there, the Ameri-
can peace officers and military men
told the Wood Cree chieftains that
they had better go back to Canada,
because Uncle Sam had more In-
dians than he needed.
The Crees refused to depart and
stayed “put” where they’d camped,
threatening all kinds of trouble if
they were bothered in any way. The
result of this defiant attitude was
that a thousand United States cav-
alrymen were soon uprooting the
Crees and herding them north to
the border. While the party was en
route, messages concerning the re-
turn of the Crees were hurried
through to the Assinaboine authori-
ties, and the Northwest Mounted Po-
lice, requesting that an armed force
be at the border to take charge of
the returning Wood Crees. The mes-
sages were to the effect that these
I Wood Crees were a murderous lot
and would take some handling if
trouble or massacre were to be pre-
vented.
Upon arriving at the designated
crossing place on the border, the
American colonel of cavalry was
quite disappointed at not finding a
regiment of red-coated infantrymen
to meet the party and take charge
of the 400 Wood Crees. His dis-
apppointment later turned to rage
and anger for, veteran Indian fight-
er that he was, his advices about
the handling of the troublesome
Crees had been totally ignored for
there was not even a squadron of
Northwest Mounted Police to relieve
him of his deportees. Just when
the air was blue with profanity,
with brown spots here and there
emanating from spluttering tobac-
co juice, three Men of the Mounted
walked, not rode, into the Ameri-
can cavalry officer’s presence.
“We have come to take over the
Crees,” the corporal announced.
“You’ve WHAT!!!!?” shouted the
colonel. The corporal repeated his
remarks.
“Why . . . Good God, man . . .
where’s your troops? Why . . .
you’ll need a regiment to handle
this bunch of rascals. How many
men have you?”
“Well, sir, there’s three of us
here. The fourth man of my party
is packing up our kits. He’ll be
with us in a minute, sir, asking
your patience.”
“Four men . . .” blustered the
cavalry officer. “Why . . . it’s
murder.”
“Not at all, sir,” replied the cor-
poral. “You see, we know these In-
dians, and they know we wear the
queen’s scarlet. They know, too,
that we have kept all treaties with
them. Ask them, sir. Find out for
yourself.”
The colonel did as requested and
without any help or advice from the
Men of the Mounted, the chieftains
of the Wood Crees stepped out and
said that never in all their experi-
ence since the redcoat pony sol-
diers had come, had they found a
“forked tongue” among them. They
had always been faithful to all trea-
ties, and the chieftains concluded
with the admission that they were
glad to be back on Canadian soil,
and that they would not have run
away if they had not believed that
they would be in serious trouble
with the pony soldiers because the
Swampy Crees had broken a prom-
ise and a treaty they’d made with
the Northwest Mounted.
Later that week four Men of the
Mounted were leading, not driving
400 supposedly “bloodthirsty, scalp-
ing savages” northward, well into
Canadian territory, finishing the job
without any untoward incident, and
without the loss of man, woman,
child, or horse. On one side of the
line Indian affairs were handled by
grafting politicians who, under Brit-
ish law, would be classed as just
plain criminals and crooks. North
of the line Indian affairs were han-
dled by a force of intelligent, trust-
worthy men whose efforts were un-
hampered by politicians, men who
could not be bought and sold, men
who kept faith with the promises
they had made when they donned
the scarlet and gold for 60 cents
per day, and found.
The Name Josephine
The name Josephine, feminine
form of the Hebrew Joseph, has
the same meaning—“he shall add
(children).” The name commem-
orates the happy exclamation of
the mother of the patriarch Joseph
at his birth: “The Lord shall add to
me another son.” Josephine, em-
press of France (1763-1814), most
famous person ever to bear the
name, must have found its mean-
ing an ironic mockery, since it
Whs because she bore him no son

Advice About Reducing
Describes the Perils of Unscientific
Methods for Losing Weight
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
ti Eust 39tli Street, New York City,
]\ It Y RECENT discussion of reducing in these columns
1V1 brought many letters, indicating that the modern
woman is, fortunately, weight conscious. This is an encour-
aging sign. For it shows that you are alert to the dangers of
overweight, which not only destroys beauty but may indirectly
contribute to heart disease,4>
kidney disorders and diabetes,
which take their greatest toll
from among the heavyweights.
Guard Against Unscientific
Reducing Methods
Some of these letters caused me
great concern, however, because
they indicate that
in spite of my
warning against
unscientific meth-
ods of weight re-
duction, many
women still cling
to the idea that
there is some mag-
ic in the various
pills, powders, cap-
sules, saps, salts
and mechanical de-
vices that are sold at fancy prices
and hold out alluring promises of
speedy reducing without dieting or
exercise.
It is bad enough that most of
these fail to reduce. For they
teeth, or leave out foods rich in
iron and copper and interfere
with the formation of the hemo-
globin or red pigment in the blood.
One of the most common and
most serious errors is to omit all
bread, potatoes and cereals, in the
belief that carbohydrates are “fat-
tening foods." Carbohydrates are
required by the body in order to
utilize the fats in the diet, and
when reducing, they are also nec-
essary to burn up excess fatty
tissue.
Just as fire cannot burn without
air, fat cannot be utilized in the
body without the presence of
starch or sugar. When the diet
contains insufficient carbohy-
drates, fat burns incompletely, re-
sulting in the dangerous acetone
type of acidosis.

proving appearance, benefiting
health and increasing the chances
of longevity. But what is far
more serious is that some of these
preparations may endanger health
or cause lifelong physical impair-
ment.
—★—
Dangerous Drugs
Drugging is particularly to be
condemned, and no one should at-
tempt to reduce by this method
except under the advice and
watchful eye of a physician. There
are many invalids today who
would be happy and healthy if
they had not attempted to take
some “reducing medicine” with-
out consulting a physician.
One preparation that is still
bought by foolish women—in spite
of repeated warnings against its
use—may even result in perma-
nent blindness.
Almost equally objectionable
are excessive purging — which
may leave you a wobbly wreck—
and fasting, which is even more
dangerous to women than men.
Don’t Diet Without Direction
A carefully regulated diet will
hot only maintain normal weight,
but will banish overweight by
forcing the body to burn its own
excess fat as fuel. Having heard
of this scientific principle, many
women frantically and foolishly
attempt to prescribe their own re-
ducing diets — often with dis-
astrous results.
There is always the possibility
that one may omit calcium-bear-
ing foods and thus impair the

I will gladly send to every read-
er of this newspaper, a copy of
my reducing bulletin. This in-
cludes a chart showing the caloric
value of all the commonly used
foods—plus a week’s sample re-
ducing menus. By following this
scientific plan for weight reduc-
tion, you can easily lose from one
to two pounds weekly. A more
rapid reduction is not advisable.
At that rate, you can lose from
six to eight pounds in the course
of a month—twenty-four pounds at
the end of three months. That is
a lot of weight to lose and will
make a vast difference in your
appearance and in the enthusiasm
with which you greet your daily
tasks.
The Film Stan’ Method
This simple and scientific meth-
od of controlling the weight is the
one used by film stars in Holly-
wood. It is essential that they
keep slim and practically every
important film player has a clause
in her contract calling for a can-
cellation if she permits her weight
to increase beyond a certain point.
But at the same time, film stars
must safeguard their health, foi
their work is the most strenuous
of occupations!

Counting Calories Is Fun
In Hollywood they make a game
of counting calories. You, too,
will find it amusing, as well as
beneficial to health and looks. And
you will be rewarded by noting a
drop in weight every time you
step on the scales.

If Your Weight Is Normal
Keep If That Way
It has been determined that the
ideal weight—that is the weight
that best promotes health and
longevity—after thirty, is the nor-
mal weight for one’s height at the
age of thirty.
If you are approximately thirty
and your weight is normal, you
should send for my Calorie Chart
and Reducing Bulletin and use it
to help maintain your present
weight!
If you are over thirty and over-
weight, you should not lose an-
other day before sending for the
bulletin so that you can begin at
once to regain your normal weight
by the safe, simple, scientific and
comfortable method of counting
calories.
As the pounds disappear you
will feel as though you had
stepped out of a prison of fat into
a new world of physical freedom.
Questions Answered
Miss L. T. B.—Though it lacks
fat and vitamin A, skim milk is a
rich source of calcium and phos-
phorus, and also furnishes high
grade protein. A quart of skim
milk, plus one and one-half ounces
of butter is the equivalent of a
quart of whole milk.
Mrs. J. M. T.—It is impossible
to generalize regarding the diet in
asthma. This condition is due to
allergy, and the symptoms are
produced by different foods in dif-
ferent individuals. Almost all pro-
tein substances are capable of
causing distress.
