The ‘New Deal’ Eclipses the Doctrine of Liberalism The old-fashioned die-hard conservative is not happy these days, and the extreme radical never has been hap py; but it is doubtful if either of these groups is getting half the misery that is falling in the lap of a certain kind of doctrinaire liberal. The conservative can at least reflect that he controlled the government for upwards of a decade. The conserva tive can always eock his ear for the rumble of tumbrils down the streets of the distant future. But there is a cer tain kind of liberal to whom the present era seems to be bringing nothing but confusion and disappointment. To be sure, the actions that this liberal has always de manded of his government are being taken. The program that he has clamored for for years—or something strik ingly like it—is being put into effect. The conservatives are in full retreat, all along the line, and they haven’t yet found a rallying point. But the tragedy, to the doctrinaire liberal, is that all of this is being done in the wrong way by the wrong people. Ihe change came before he could pronounce his blessing upon it. He had just got through proving that nothing of consquence could be expected from the pres ent administration, when it proceeded to take the wind out of his sails by adopting his whole program. What has our liberal been demanding, all of these years? ' Well, he has called for a “planned economy.” He has wanted federal laws to protect union labor in the leading industries. He has wranted the New York financial power drastically curbed. He has wanted the government to crack down on the power trust. He has wanted vast sums spent by Uncle Sam on public works. He has wanted a systematized federal employment service. He has wanted to see people like Frances Perkins, Ickes and Richberg in important government positions. He has wanted an ad ministration that would place human rights above property rights. Every one of these goals has been reached. Things that until recently looked like remote possibilities for the mil lenium are nowT in actual operation. But our liberal got left at the post. Change caught him napping. Fate delt him a hand from the bottom of the deck. And his unhappiness, these days, is heart-rending to observe. Confidence Is Needed If the NRA program now being attempted does no more than create an attitude of public confidence in a business revival, it will do a great deal to make such a revival an actual fact. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson reminds us of this fact, by im plication* in stating that one of the big needs of the day is a further loosening of commercial credit facilities. There is still a “hold-over timidity” from the depression period, and it has operated to keep credit more constricted than should be the case. “I do not believe you can get extension of credit by fiat,” he remarks. “You have to establish this basis of faith and confidnce first, and that is what we are trying as hard as we know how to do.” If the NRA program can re-establish this confidence, it will have helped us a long way back toward full recov ery. — New York Letter BY PAUL HARRISON NEW YORK — There just isn't any explaining the popularity of Broadway’s so-called “hot spots”— those places where it is almost a ritual for celebrities of the tho roughfare to gather at various times and for various purposes. One day they ail may be found having their combination breakfast and lunch at a cheap cafeteria, and a week later patronizing a rather ex pensive restaurant.. .Last month a certain speakeasy was prospering with their trade, and today Louis, the proprietor, gloomily watches them pass by to a new hot-spot in the next block. Lindy’s (the place where Arnold Rothstein answered the phone call that lured him to death) Is the ac cepted lunching place today. For dinner, though, it’s de rigeur to go to Dave’s Blue Room, though the food certainly is no better than m many another nearby spot. At night the crowd foregathers at the Palais Royal, on Long Island's Merrick Road. By three or four in the morning they’re all back to gether again, over coffee and scrambled eggs in Reubens’. • * Theatrical folk, visiting movie stars, a gentleman gambler or two, a politician, & lawyer who caters to their troubles and a doctor who tends their ills, an insurance man who does a million dollars worth of business a year over night club tables, pretty girls, unnumbered tsooges ol indefinite social and business connections— these are the people who decide what is, and what is not, a hot-spot. • • » Kindi'carted Landlord It was in Llndy’s the other day that this story was told—about an apartment dweller who, answering his doorbell,, was informed that the nice old lady down the hall was about to be evicted for non payment of rent. “Most of the tenants are chipping in a few dollars to keep the landlord from throw ing her out in the street,” explain ed the caller. “I thougnt you might like to help too.” “All right,” said the tenant. “But tell ine—who are you?’ “Me?” replied the altruistic one. “Why, I’m the landlord” • • • Broadways High Flyers Broadwayites being the rather flighty kind of people that they are, it s'*nns only natural that a lot of them should be air-minded. Roger Wolfe Kahn, for instance, has been skimming the skies for years, and has even taxied his band around the country by plane... Billy Leeds, heir to the Tin Plate millions, rates a pilot’s license too. And so does Yukona Cameron, the girl who, with A1 Trahan in their rough-and-tumble act, once made King George laugh out loud... Arthur Loew, son of Marcus Loew, the movie magnate, Keeps flying in spite cl three crashes in which he narrowly escaped death each time...Young Russel Tham. son of Harry K., is making a profession of aviation. And so, doubtless, will A1 II. Hall, Jr., son of the vaudeville comedian. The boy now nolds the junior altitude record.. .There you are, you see, some really high flyers along the Gay Way_ w * w Holding Thrir Hats Mr. Joe Cook, now heading an other of his mad musical comedies, has a collection of all the silly hats he has worn on the stage, from towering shakos to minute skull caps... A lot of other actors, too, have a sentimental or superstitious regard for certain headgear. There’s Ted Lewis, who attributes most of his faime to the battered topper that has practically become his trademark.. .The stuttering Frisco wouldn’t part with his original Frisco dance derby for a fortune. ...Young Hal LeRoy still keeps the 1 gray felt he wore when, as a gang ling kid, he stopped the Ziegfild Follies five years ago...Ted Healy cherishes the dented hat reminis cent of his first success...As for Jimmy Durante—his tenderest emotions are for the ancient brown fedora that was tossed on the floor of every night club in earlier days. Dancing masters meeting at New York recently introduced a new step called “the Nira” in honor of the NRA movement. Probably it is one in which everybody is supposed to put his best foot forward. Now that the auto code has been adopted we hope the industry has been completely equipped with wizard control.

Christian Science lesson Subject “Substance” is the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, Sept. The golden text is from Psalm 135: “Thy name, O Lord, endureth forever: and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.” Included with other passages from the Bible is the following from Proverbs 22: “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.” The lesson-sermon also includes citations.from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Take away wealth, fame, and .social organizations, which weigh not one Jot in the bal ance of God, and we get clearer views of principle. Break up the cliques, level wealth with honesty, let worth be judged according to wisdom, and we get better views of humanity. “To ascertain our progress, we must learn where our affections are placed and whom we acknow ledge and obey as God. If divine love is becoming nearer, dearer, and more real to us, matter is then submitting to Spirit. The objects We pursue and the spirit we mani fest reveal our standpoint, and show that we are winning” (p. 239). Daily Health 1 Talk Recently three articles were pub lished in this column describing the condition known popularly as “sleeping sickness,” but scientifi cally as epidemic lethargic en cephalitis. Shortly thereafter newspapers began to carry accounts of an epi demic which developed in St. Louis. In the cases which have appeared in St. Louis older people are more frequently affected than are the young. The condition begins suddenly with headache, nausea, fever, mild inflammation of the throat and stiffness of the neck. As evidence of the way in which the brain is affected there is also fine tremor of the hands and of the tongue. Many of the patients become quite unconscious, some have con vulsions but the majority develop a lethargy or sleepiness from which they can be aroused mo mentarily but with difficulty. In a few cases instead of sleepiness the patients are overexcited. More over, they are confused, unable to place themselves in relationship to others, and frequently have loss of memory. Whereas in most previous In stances of epidemics of this char acter one of the early symptoms has been dropping of the eyelids and double vision, this condition has not been prominent in the cases which have occurred in St. Louis. In the examinations that have been made of the spinal fluid signs I of Inflammation are apparent through an increase In the numoei of cells found In the spinal fluid. Thus far in St. Louis about 18 per cent of the patients have died j Many have already recovered after two weeks without apparent symp- ; toms, but the time is too short to i say what the eventual condition of these patients will be. Examina tions of the brains of those who j have died indicate that the portion i of the brain known as the cort'jx, | used in thinking, is more often in- i volved than those portions of the j brain which control movement and j aetion, this having been the case in previous epidemics. The United States Public Health ; Service has sent officials to St. Louis, and representatives .lave come from the health services m surrounding states. Thus far the condition seems to be localized in St. Louis and its immediate vicin ity, and there is no reason to be lieve that it will spread generally throughout the United States but the possibility does exist. In the cases thus far studied it has been impossible to trace con tact between the patients except in one instance when two member? of one family were affected. There is nothing anyone can do person ally to prevent the possblUty of infection with this disorder, but it is useless to become alarmed since the condition is not so seriously contagious as the common infec tious disorders.

One reason some corporations hesitate la, frankly, because they haven’t the money.

BEGIN HEBE TODAY EVE BAYLESS, pretty assistant to EARLE BARNES, advertising manager of Bixby’s department ■tore, marries DICK RADER, a construction superintendent. He wants her to give np her Joh bat she refuses. Eve does not want her employers to know she Is married so they keep the mar riage secret several months. At Christmas they announce It. They spend a brief vacation at the home of Eve’s parents. Back at the office MARTA VLAD. fashion artist. and ARLENE SMITH, stenographer, greet Eve excitedly. Eve knows that MONA ALLEN, the new copy writer, dislikes her and Is trying to cause trouble for her. Barnes, the advertising manager, has told Eve that she would not have re ceived a recent promotion U he had known she was married. Eve receives a letter from IRENE PRENTISS, a former schoolmate who lives la New York. Irene Is playing the stock market and advises Eve to do the same thing. Without telling Dick, Eve visits the stock department of a bank. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVIII C>VE did not sleep well that night. She awoke several times, only to drift back into troubled dreams of Bixby’s store, a stock exchange, and finally her old home. In the morning she was so quiet that Dick was worried. “You’re usually skipping about all over the place by 7:30," he said. "What’s the matter? Don’t you feel well?" “I’m all right,” Eve assured him. “I was just thinking. I mustn’t forget to write to Mother today. It’s almost a week since her last letter came.” Dick approved of the way In which Eve and her mother kept in close touch with each other. Once every week Mrs. Bayless wrote— long letters, painfully written In her cramped handwriting, filled with news of the family, the rela tives and Eve’s old friends. And once or twice a week Eve dashed off a reply on her typewirter. Her father grumbled, “Eve’s letters are too danged long for any man to read. Tell me in a few words what she said.” But when Kate Bayless received the letter Eve wrote that day she hesitated to tell her husband what it contained. “Mother, dear,” Eve had written, “I wonder if you could get from Dad the money he is keeping for me in the ‘emergency fund.' You know how Esther and I always saved our pennies and nickels and put them In the little red elephant banks until there was enough to deposit down town? Dad said that when we grew up we would have that money for an emergency fund In case anything happened. So I wish he would' let me have the money now for something very, very special. I don’t want him or Dick to know about it but I’ll let you in on the. secret I’m not go ing to spend the money—I’m going to Invest it” • • • T1ECAUSE her daughter had asked her to do it Kate did try to get the money. But Hank Bay* less remained as adamant as. a rock. He refused to draw out one penny of the sum unless his wife told him what she intended to do with it Finally Kate told him that Eve wanted it. “Why should she want that money?” he thundered. "She’s get ting a good salary and she has a husband with a good Job who would be glad to support her if she’d stop this foolishness about working and give him the chancel Now what does she need money for? “I’ll bet she's up to some danged foolishness!” he went on. “Well, she’ll get no help froin me! She’s gone Into debt, likely as not, for something she doesn’t need. Has she written anything lately about buying anything?” Reluctantly Kate clutched at this straw. “She did write a while back about buying some furniture.” Furniture? Hank repeated, puz zled. "Why I thought they weren’t going to buy furniture yet. I thought they lived in a furnished apartment." “They do," Kate answered pa tiently. “But this was something special Eve wanted. She saw it on one of their trips. It was—an tiques.” “Antiques.” Hank groaned. “With my hard-earned money? Well, I’ll be danged! No, mother; tell her ‘no.’ Not bv a jugful!” So Eve received less than she had expected and the draft was made out to her mother from the little fund Mrs. Bayless had saved for so long. Kate had made one more sacrifice for her daughter and Eve had to be content with the amount she received. She wrote her mother a long let ter of appreciation. The money was to be considered as a loan. Eve explained, and she promised to re pay it as soon as she had made a gain of that amount. She would hold this for working capital. “You know, Mother,” she wrote, “it’s im possible to get a start without a little capital.” Kate smiled as she read that To think her quarters and half dollars, saved from the household allowance and slipped into the cracked sugar bowl on the top pantry shelf, should have grown into "capital!” What would this enterprising daughter of hers do next? SHE would have been surprised to know what Eve was about. Afraid she might have difficulty keeping her activities from Dick if : she played the market through a broker's office, Eve had decided to operate through the bank. She felt, however, as though she were being cheated of the thrill supposed to be connected with playing the stock market. Mr. Brown suggested four stocks which were on the rising market. “For a quick turnover,” he advised, “these are as likely as any to ad vance.” Eve’s funds were so limited that it seemed advisable to concentrate on one as a beginning. She placed her money on Pure Soap Inc. That afternoon she worked swiftly, deftly and happily. Arlene commented on her mood. “I’m having a good day,” Eve ad mitted. “I’ve turned out my copy in about half the time it usually takes.” “Well, I envy you! * Arlene grum bled. “It would take a million dollars to make me feel like that today." “Ob, a few hundred thousand can do a lot!” Eve answered airily. At 2:3C she sent the office boy to buy a copy of the stock edition of an evening newspaper. When it came Eve turned excitedly to the financial page Pure Soap, rim, had gone up two points. • Eve made a mental note of her profit. “When it goes up 10 points," she decided, “I’ll sell and reinvest the profit in something else. Oh, this is going to be fun!" That evening she watched Dick as he unfolded the final edition which was always waiting for them at the hall door when they arrived home. He scanned page one and then turned to the financial pages which he perused thoroughly before turning back to read the local news. Eve had not known before that Dick was interested in stock quota tions. Was be playing the market, too? W W V ^FTER her return from New York Eve had tried to avoid Freda Carter. She blamed Freda for the unpleasant incident with Theron Reece. But when Freda invited Eve to a party in her apartment the next evening there seemed nothing to do but accept the invitation. The buyer had come to the advertising office with some frocks for Marya to sketch. As she was leaving she turned abruptly toward Eve. "Oh, I almost forgot!" Freda said. “I’m throwing a party tomor row night and I’d love to have girls come.” * She had only a slight acquaint ance with Mona Allen and her glance was for Eve and Arlene but before either of them could reply Mona gave Freda a melting smile and exelaimed, “Oh, how perfectly sweet of you! I’d simply adore a party!” Mona paused expectantly. Eve was thinking, "Freda didn’t mean to include her. The invitation wai for Arlene and me. Is she going to let Mona get away with thatT” Without particular cordiality Freda assured Mona that she waa glad she could come. Arlene also accepted the invitation. Eve liked Freda but she could never be sure about Freda’s friends. There was Theron Reece, for ex ample. But Eve was certain he would not be at the party. This was February and he had told her he was not due in Lake City until | the week before Easter. Reece had mentioned his itinerary in detail at dinner that evening in New York. Going to this party, Eve assured herself, would make it easier to refuse a later Invitation that might include Reece. Further more Dick had announced thpihe would not be home to dinner the following evening. And so, with feelings that mla» sled both satisfaction and uneasl* ness, Eve assured Freda Carter that she would come to the party. (To Be Continued)
