Why Not Put It On Its Base? —And R. F. C. For Industry Will Dc^This! ^ zzr~ A pyramid will stand on its apex1 only so long as it is supported. /To keep it standing that way is a waste of effort, time and money—and that is exactly what Uncle Sam is doing with his pyramid' of govern ment loans. The base of our whole eco nomic structure is industry. La bor, production and wages—the most vital factors of our social ex istence—are rooted in industry. But our pyramid of government R. F. C. loans so far has not includ ed industry. It starts with the topmost sector of the economic or-/ der—the banks—and includes the ii. irance companies, the railroads and agriculture. And there stands the whole mass, topheavy, waver ing and inverted, held erect by in creasing expenditures. Let’s get back to elementary physics, the rudiments of engineer ing and the law of gravitat;on. And R. F. C. for industry would be the true base upon which (to set this tapering bulk of government loans. Give the base the same generous and necessary treatment the apex received and see how quickly nor-j malcy is accomplished. If industry is not given long term credit in the form of work ing capital loans, all the rest of the loans are down the chute; labor will have less to do, there will be less freight and there will be less deposits made and insurance pre miums paid. Loans to banks, insurance com panies, railroads and agriculture— billions of dollars advanced by the R. F. C.—cannot in themselves set the economic structure aright. They may offer some measure of protection to stockholders and bondhlders; they may replace de precated securities and save capital investments, but they lack creative power—the only road to payrolls— work for men and women is In dustry. Industry is a creator of wealth of jobs. It makes freight for rail roads to carry. It makes human travel. It pays wages so men and women can pay their insurance pre miums and have money to deposit in banks. When banks have de posits, insurance companies are paid premiums and carriers have normal freight and passenger service. They need no loans. 1 All these things happen when Industry is able to employ labor and replace its working capital, de pleted by the self-same deprecia tions that affected banks, insurance companies and railroads. The loans to insurance companies, while they have to some extent protected the stockholders, have not saved one policy for any person that had lost his job and couldn’t pay his premium. Again, while the loans to railroads have protected the bondholders and capital invest ment, they have not made one more pound of freight to carry or cre ated one dollar of wealth. -*■ The important thing is to put men back to work—turn the wheels of Industry. Give Industry the loans to replace its depreciated working capital and Industry will not only pay back its own bor rowings, but make it possible for banks, insurance companies and railroads to do likewise. But, best of all, Industry will then be able to keep men at work, to maintain the American home and permit men and women to retain their own self respect through earning ability. me aonar may not De so top lofty as it was, but it doesn’t seem to come and jump into our pockets any quicker when we say "C’m here.” j nneroee springs nas been pur chased as a community center for Richmond County.

He was alone in his home without fuel and with only two light blankets. Preparing to retire in his clothes, he held one of the blankets before a kerosene lamp to examine it - for holes. The blanket caught fire and was destroyed. Brown became so numb he could hardly walk. Then he thought of L * J_ 1 • , a pauiLci ana a small mongrel. He opened the door and whistled. The dogs, eager to get indoors, lost no time responding. With them came a hound owned by a neighbor, likewise seeking shelter. Brown took all three to bed with him. Describing his experience he said the dogs snored and scratched "all night.” "But I was warm amidst them,” he said. Fleas overran his clothes next morning and he developed a slight cough which a neighborhood1 white man said was a symptom of "dis temper.” Brown concluded he had contracted distemper from the mongrel, which had been acting "quarely.” He consulted a doctor, who said "Bosh.” As for sleeping with the dogs, "I would have done the same thing,” said the doctor.

Surveys made last fall by county farm agents and other field workers of the State College Extension Ser vice revealed that there was a gen eral toning up of business in every community affected by the opera tions of the cotton adjustment campaign last season. The pay ment of debts which had been on merchant’s books for two and three years had an excellent effect, these field workers fund. The general circulation of cash causd by the buying of necessities and some lux uries also had its effect. The manager of a large store in me town surrounded by a cotton trowing area reported that his busi ness had been tne Dest in an tne years he had occupied his present position. This same attitude was taken by other business men in other lines. "Howeved,” reported the agri cultural extension workers, "the greatest results were found in the farming communities themselves. Farmers were more cheerful, felt more independent, and had more hope for the future. The improve ment in the general attitude of the growers caused a feeling of well being such as had not existed in the two previous years, to pervade the rural communities.” American people are urged to "Stop, look, and listen.’ Well, they will always stop to eat when they are hungry, and they will alwavs look when they see a pretty girl, and they are always willing to listen W'hen someone will show them how to get money. The factories are turning out wonderfully beautiful party slip pers, but the old timers would say they are not heavy enough to pro duce the good old disciplinary ef fects on the rising generation. ~—:—:—:—:—:—5—:—:—r-:—r O/yJOHN JOSEPH GAINES, "SINUS TROUBLE” I consider this to be one of the ■ most difficult ailments to treat, with which I am now and then con fronted I meet it sometimes, and always with regret—I shunt the patient to the specialist every time I can, and feel that I have d'one the right thing by the sufferer. Now, a "sinus” would be a blood vessel if it were in the flesh, and you know what blood-vessels are,— arteries and veins. Well, a sinus is a blood-vessel as well—but it is a channel in BONE for the passage of blood; so sinusitis is strictly a bone infection. The surgery of bone is a long shot more complicated than surgery of the softer, more access ble tissues. Sinusitis is of course, an infection —of germ-origin. It is met more :requently about the head—over :he eyes, in the cheek-bones—in hort, it is where the sinuses are. in this letter, I propose to speak •nore of possible prevention than :reatment of cure. This season, many of my boys ind girls will do a good deal of iwimming—a most healthful sport; but we don’t want any diving, if you have had a hint of sinus infec ton this last winter. To have a gush of cool or cold water driver into the nostrils or ears in a high plunge, is not a wise thing for you If you are nclined to have neu ralgia over the eyes, or even beneatlr the eyes—over any prominent bon\ ridge of the headi or face, don’t sleep in drafts. If I were a bit susfpi ous of sinus infection, I wouldn’t be caught going out without a head coveing, even if a light-weight hat or cap. Going out bare-headed is fine—but has its drawbacks. To treat sinus diseases means to get rid of the germs if possible—but they are extremely hard to reach.
