A WIFE’S SOLILOQUY You’re far from an Adonis; you’re fat and rather bald— Just an average husband is what you would be called. You fall asleep while reading and goodness how you snore! The jokes you keep repeating quite often are a bore. C You grumble at expenses and wonder “what’s the use?’’ Then indulge your family at the least excuse.

Willi PHILIP This Is one session of Congress tha. organized labor must keep its ST* «■ it now appears certain that tbs leg islators, or law, doctors are planning an immediata operation on tbs Na tional Labor Relations Act, The American Federation of Labor and its four million members are deeply interested in this operation. We intend to stand by and see to it that tne proper diagnosis is mads, that only the diseased parts are cut away. We will insist that healthy tis sues be substituted for infected tissue. Hut we will refuse to permit amputa tion of any vital organs. Remember, the American Federa tion of Labor sired the National La bor Relations Act. It is our baby. Un fortunately, it fell into the hands of tne wrong governess—the present national Labor Relations board. This board, unwise, impractical and irre sponsiDie, was totally unfitted to bring up tne cnild propeny and it sichenea 1 be reiore, we say to Congress— change tne governess. Live us a new national Laoor Relations board. And adopt certain fundamental rules for tne guidance of tne new board and any tuture board so mat it will not lead tne law astray again. it is a comfort, at any rata, that Congress at last has determined to act. ine conduct of me National La oor Relations Hoard and its staff has become a national scandal, 'ine com plaint and warnings submitted by tne American Federation of Labor at me last session of Congress has been fully corroborated by events. Lven me Bu preme court of tne Luted States nas put its finger on tne unfairness or tne present situation. cuMuaass has the bbmbdy Lrroneously, the Supreme Court's decision in me iacuic coast Long shoremens case has been interpreted as a aeieat tor me American Federa tion of Labor, that is not so. 'ine court merely pointed to a serious de fect in tne law as it now stands, it said tnat Congress did not give the Circuit Court of Appeals me right to review certification orders by the board. if a union is injured by an unjust certification of me proper collective bargaining unit, it can commence suit in a court of original jurisdiction, the Federal District Court. This is being done m the Longshoremen's case but it is a long and expensive process, therefore, as me Supreme Court said, me remedy lies wun Congress. Congress has the remedy in its hands, it is contained .in the amend ments sponsored by me American r ederation of Labor which were in the Facts troduced at the last session of Con* gnu by Senator Walsh and Bapre* tentative Barden. Theae amendments were drafted with great care to cover every dffg in ^ uw tlu^ its administration which has arisen since its enactment. Some of them are too explain to the layman m the oriel space aUoted to this column. But we fedit may be helpful and uMUncUve to reiterate here the key amen<tents for the adoption of which the Amen can f ederation of Labor will light with all the reaources at »t* commana at the session of Congreas.

President Stall* preaided with Secretaries Sykes and Beatty at their Nutritional Ills Hit Growing Crops Lack of Vital Elements in Food Causes Loss. CH1CAQO.—Growing crops suffer from nutritional diseases which are the counterpart of rickets, scurvy, pellagra and beri beri among hu man beings, a report by the Middle West Soil Improvement committee sets forth. “With crops, as with human be ings, these diseases which threaten health and life are caused by a lack of vital food elements and by de pendence on a one-sided diet,” the report declares. “Plants, like human beings, flash tell-tale distress signs when defi ciencies he diet mensce their exist ence. “From the experience of the crop season just closed, fanners may de termine hqw the lack of important plant foods in their soil spelled the difference between profitable yields and poor, unthrifty crops. “For example, corn which leeks' nitrogen develops a streaked, yel low leaf. The yellowing starts aft the tip and progresses along the mid-rib. When corn is starving for potash, the edges of the leaves are scorched and a spotty, yellow streaking spreads over them. The plant produces chaffy, low-quality ears of poor feeding value. “Millions of dollars were lost this year, as in the past, from wheat and oats which lodged because of a lack of phosphorus, potash, or both of these elements. “Signs of plant food starvation are easily detectable on legume crepe. Alfalfa and clover which des perately need potash develop white spots around the edges of the leaves Mid then spread like measles over the entire surface. Unlike measles in Mwa beings, «u«wit j* usually fatal, for the leavoe turn yellow and die. "With crops, as with human be ings, the cure for diet deficiency Ues in providing fertilizer containing the correct plant food elements properly balanced to insure vigor ous, healthy growth. The three es sentials for soil fertility are nitro gen, phosphorus and potash. Each has a job to do. None can do it all by itself.

The Mg, mounted eagle, whose picture eras reproduced on bill tons of dollars of money and certificates, eras presented to pest office officials here by CoL Frank Burke, former Tampan and executive aid to the chief of the United States secret service. A plaque giving a history of die bird hugs beneath the cypress roost in the post office on which the bird now rests. It relates that the eagle was captured on Prince William sound, Alaska, and presented to the National Zoological park in Wash ington. The eagle died in 1911 and was stuffed and presented by the bureau of engraving and printing. .. i-inn don’s confidence through its own un fairness ud it must go. 8—The right of the beard to abro gate valid collective bargaining con racts between bona fide labor unions ind employers must be clearly defined md restricted.

CHARLOTTE, N.C Travel in umU»r Hssp Near Record Proportions WASHINGTON. — Travel in the United States has approached rec ord-breaking proportions this year, but attendance at many national parks has been sharply reduced, ac cording to figures released by the department at interior. The American Automobile associ ation attributed the increased travel to the New York and San Fran cisco world fairs, and blamed the drop in park attendance to an in crease in the number of parks charging fees for admission, auto mobiles, motorcycles and guides. Parks where such fees are charged for the first time this year, reported that in the 10 months ending July SI, 1,612,477 persons visited there parks compared with 1,757,227 in the same period last year, or a drop of 8.2 per cent. Attendance at parks where fees had been charged in previous years but were unchanged by this year’s ruling totaled 1,671,622, as compared to 1,499,149, or an increase of 11.5 per cent over last year. However, parks still free of all charges gained 19.7 per cent for that period, with an aggregate total of 1,112,993 for 1939 and 929,818 in 1938. Gold Is Mined Easy Way Without Pick or Shovel MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.— Kenneth Bennett, a shopkeeper of Creswick, has given up golf for gold mining. His mine is on a piece of land he owns just outside the town. As mining is only his hobby, he does not believe in making hard work of it, and he has worked out the follow ing system: • Go out to the mine, put a stick of gelignite in the bottom of it. climb out and wait for the bang, ana climb in again and pick up the pieces. No pick and shovel work about that. The other week he brought up a nugget worth $210. . ! Patronize Journal Advertisers . Full-Blooded Indians to Be Extinct in Five Yean ORLANDO, FLA.—F. B.
