The sky and the lake merge into a dull grey mist, traffic cops in oilskins, Michi gan avenue glistening wet, so dark many of the store fronts are lighted. Dripping umbrel las bob up and down, women in limousines wear furs, taxi cabs are doing a rushing busi ness. A flurry of snow wouldn't be surprising. Mr. Ripley has a subject here "Chicago, August 1st, 1932." Sales, sales and more sales. Monday is supposed to be a dull day for newspaper adver tising but the Tribune has 32 pages of bargain ads. Note this from Marshall Field: "Books slightly damaged for 50 cents." "How to understand the stock market," by Alliston Craig!" "slightly damaged" is right. Depressions may-come and go but rackets go on forever I Pic nics for the unemployed so they may be fed and forget their troubles are popular, so the racketeers sell bogus pic nic tickets "for the police re lief fund." Each ticket aids the unemployed and allows the purchaser "immunity from ar rest for speeding." Two dollars each, and thousands fall for it! Then there is the hammer game. A large advertising firm plans a placard campaign along the highways, advertising for helpers. Men and women flock in, are given jobs but told they must first purchase a special type of hammer with which to tack up the placards, cost $2. They scurry around to raise the $2. Get their hammers which are worth two bits, but no job! Hold-ups are increasing. So the home protective association is formed and provides armed guards to protect ; you after dark. The armed guards are paid and then rob their pat rons. This is Chicago on August 1st, 1032 1 Big city nowspapor merj are glad to see a country editor from Oregon. They want to know how Oregon will go in November. The Oregon editor wants to know how Illinois will go. The big oity editors know ho more about it than the small country editor. Both agrco that the people of the country have Communications Truth About the Railroads To ths Editor: In your paper of Aug. 4, you pub lished an article by B. B. O'Hara lamenting the so-cslled shrinkage of ths carrlera purchasing power. The difference of expenditures tor maintenance In the time distance from 1030 to 1831 Is called the shrinkage of purchasing power and amounts to ths small sum of (634.. 535.000, according to Mr. O'Hara'a statement. The expenditure for maintenance Is caused by the wear and tear of the road, buildings and appliances under normal conditions and Is practically the aams every yesr, Ths saving of this sum wss only pos slbls by not properly attending to ths maintenance of the road that la by not buying the materials nec essary and discharging their per sonnel. What as done by the rail road with these oavlnrosf The time. Interval quoted 11 two years. If In two years of depression, the decline In trafflo both personal and freight was 60 per cent. which I believe Is too high comparing the traffic ths railroads had In 1820 and 1931 what was done with the remalnn.g sum of S317.387.300t Did It go Into ths pockets of the stock holders of the railroad aa dividends and Interest on their Investment? Ths Interstate Commerce com mission considers 8 per cent a fair return to the railroads. The rail roads did not get that amount but they did take what they could get. The railroad executives in load knew that In 1030 the roods were not In first class condition any more on account of the aavlngs made In the cost of maintenance In prior years they also knew that the withholding of loo In 1039 at the proper and critical time, will mean ths ulti mate expenditure of 00 to 1 1000 to restore the track and structures to their normal condition. Therefore by taking a low figure of 1500 as a basis the rallroada would have to loan from the reconstruction finance corporation that Is from the people of the United States the sum of l,58fl.377.50O, Just to put their roads into normal condition. Every cltlwn of the United States knows that through ths competl Uou of passenger and truck lluoe n't made up their minds as yet how they will vote. Can find no ' Hoover or Roosevelt enthusiasm here. The Hearst newspapers are for Roosevelt, so the anti-HearBt papers are for noover. At the luncheon table at the Univer sity club, Roosevelt's first cam paign speech over the radio is severely panned by all. "Color less, vague and weak" is the general verdict. "Ha will have to wake up and do something if he expects to get anywhere," remarks a former Bull Mooscr, who intends to vote for Nor man Thomas the socialist can didate. "Roosevelt may have recovered from infantile para lysis, but he hasn't recovered from an INFANTILE POLI TICAL PHILOSOPHY." The most outspoken member of the party arouses the only enthusiasm when he pushes away from the table with this parting shot, "Oh, let's can both these old partin and get ourselves a Mussolini !" Univer sity club conversation is in teresting, but do the people ever vote, as University clubs talkt Here is a prosperity note. A Chicago man who lost his posi tion as vice president of a big bank is actually making money in the chicken business. Buys oats at ten cents a bushel and barley at about twice aB much. Mixes them into a mash, and raises Plymouth Rocks on his country place. Claims he nets $300 a month and escapes big city life. "Just turn cheap grain into high priced fryers," says he.. The general talk is optimis tic, without much conviction in it. One . hears a great deal about men who have com mitted suicido sinco the crash. That phase," it appears, has passed. The people seem to be getting their second wind. A friend from Lake Forest remarks: "It's just as stylish now for the wife to do her own work, as it was a few years ago to have three maids ' and a chauffeur. Everybody's doing it. Debutantes are working at economizing now as they work ed in cantonments during the war. It's the thing to do. Per manent waves and gin parties are bad form." Another suggestion for Mr. Ripley's "Believe It Or Not." R. "W. R. the railroads In their present state are not able to compete and if the air trafflo Is more developed the rsllroads will lose ground still more. The steam railroad system la abso lutely out of date, and every penny spent to bolster It up Is Just lost capital. It certainly would be good busi ness for the railroads to secure all the loans that they possibly could get, and then Induce Mr. Hoover to declare a moratorium on paying Interest and a year or so later can cel the Indebtedness to the people, snother nice big empty sack would be In the handa of the people, but by now we are used to that. Ths railroad atockholder does not mind for ths people to pay the maintenance of their road aa long as they may keep up a ayatem of saving money for dividends on their own Investments. Q.

Copyright King Features Synd., Ino. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 4. This is written on the Chicago and Northwestern train No. 9, traveling - through Iowa and Nebraska from Chicago to Omaha. Gold mines, copper mines and diamond mines are beautiful, but they became, ex hausted. This train is rushing through a mine or wealtn tnat win never be exhausted, increasing in value and productive power as the mines of agriculture de velop. Miles anu miles of green cornfields, on either side of the track, billions of yellow tassels swinging in the summer breeze. Here and there on , smaller farms, where work falls behind men are separating wheat from the straw, blowing the straw in great piles, for which the farmer has little use. The modern wheat grower uses a huge "combine" that goes throuen ths stsndlng wheat, cutting, threah Ing, delivering grain In bags to trucks that accompany the "combine." This important part of America, produces our real wealth THE CROPS, x Farmers get little of It, prloes sre low, and what little Is left above cost .of. production goes to banks for mortgage Interest, to rail road freight charges, to middlemen profits. But that will not be so always. M. C. Johnston, conductor of No. 0 says, "This Is the finest country In the world, you csn't help being heal thy out here. Isn't It a pleasure to look at that corn? Of courss It Is hot sometimes, but that doesn't last, and what difference does It make? It's only hot, you are not boiled In humidity as you are back east." He adds confidentially that the Chicago and Northwestern Is the best railroad In the world. Iowa Is cheerful today for two rea sons. George Baling, nwa university student, yesterday won the 110 metre hurdle In 14.8 seconds, tying ths old Olymplo record. Day before yesterday he broke that record. Also the National Editorial associa tion In San Francisco declares the Iowa. Storm Lake, Pilot-Tribune, the "best weekly" newspaper In the Unit-' ed States. W. O. Jarnagln Is pub lisher of the Pilot-Tribune. Some of our "big men," Including Important advertisers, fall to appre ciate the Importance of weekly news papers. Their Influence on public opinion exceeds thst of all other publications In the country. Paraguay and Bolivia, may after all. not enjoy their "real war." Young gentlemen of Paraguay and Bolivia are "rushing to ths colors" esger to fight somebody. In Paraguay young women, "Including debutantes and society ladles," Insist on Joining the srmy. They won't knit or do home work, but Insist on fighting, In the front line trenches, and If there are no trenches, they will dig some. But the South American ladles snd gen tlemen, msy miss the "pleasure" of finding out what a real war Ja like. The United States has joined with South American countrlea In declar ing that It will not "recognize terri torial gains msde by armed force." (This means a sort of Monroe doc trine among countries in South America. It would hardly be worth while to fight for land If you eouldnt enjoy It after you got It), Europe should have had such a "non recognltlon" agreement In 1014. It would have prevented the slllk pro gram of carving out and setting up Impromptu nationalities, for which one of our distinguished presidents was largely responsible.

WELL, WELL, A CURED Listening In to one of Almee's testimonial meetings where, singu larly enough, all the customers have previously tried only regular med lcrj treatment and that in a neck ot the woods where tt Is hard to find a regular physician for the hordes of Irregu lars milling about one Is remind ed of a quirk of human nature. We delight to tell the world of our cure If there is anything unorthodox about the remedy or treatment. If we are cured by a regular doctor or by orthodox means, we prefer to forget it. But here comes a lady who has been cured of Raynaund'a disease and doesn't mind admitting It, notwith standing the fact that ber cure was brought about by common garden doctors with strictly scientific meth ods.

In Des Moines three men are ac cused of torturing a ten year old boy "Just for a little fun". One has confessed. The child was' stripped of his clothing, water poured over him, burning matches applied to his body. The burns were not serious, and the boy will recover. But no punishment could atone for such a crime, or for the mental agony in flicted upon the boy's mother. Des Moines Justice can be relied upon to Impress that fact upon those guilty of what they call a "little prank." The right punishment would be twenty years In prison, and ar rangements that would make It im possible, for the three enjoying the little fun" ever to perpetuate their kind and hand on to another genera tion their idea of "amusement."

PATIENT ADMITS IT till she put them In hot water, Which brought the circulation back. Your reply was that the condition Is known as 'Dead; Fingers' or 'Raynaud's affection and that you knew of no other relief but the hot water treat ment or heat In other forms. "I Just want to say that I too f was a sufferer from Raynaud's disease, so much so that I had two gangrene ulcers on my feet. October 3, 1928, i had an opera tion, Lumbar Sympathetic Gang lonectomy, performed by Drs. and . Today I am In splendid health and my feet have been perfect ever since.-- "If anyone else wr;"ies to you suffering with this disease kindly refer them to these doctors at such and such address." The removal of the sympathetic ganglion (sometimes called "sympa thectomy1') is now frequently resort ed to, as a means of relief for Ray naud's affection. In -most cases it gives highly satisfactory results. Other suggestions whlcli have come from readers who are victims of the trouble are: Diathermy treatment, with one electrode on the arm of the sympa thetic ganglion and .the other on the limb Involved, has given considerable relief.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Beauty Sleep. , I maintain sleep Is more beneficial before midnight, than is sleep after midnight. J. P. Answer. So far as we know, it doesn't matter which hours you sleep, so long ss you get sufficient sleep. Shame. "I am 53 years old, have a wife and five children. Business has prevent ed getting exercise I need. Want to Join gym class but every man must take shower, and I am so self-conscious over my under-development. Answer. Which seems sljly In view of the fact that you are the father of children. Perhaps the mental and moral standards of the men in the class are low. That Is the only ex cuse they could have for noticing or commenting upon such a thing. Angina Again. Some time ago you explained that Veglna comes with scarlet fever. Please explain this again, to settle a family dispute over the meaning of Veglna. L. R. Answer. The term is angina. It means literally a throttling or chok ing. Tbe sore throat that usually oc curs with the onset of scarlet fever, and other klnda of choking Inflam mation in the throat or cheat were formerly called angina.. There is no good reason for using the term at all today, because it is vague and mis leading. Grandma's Boy, I am 18 and J do a lot of fishing, sometimes .standing in the water without boots for several hours. My grandmother, with whom I live, says I shouldn't do this, because if I don't feel any effects now I will when I get older . . . O. B. Answer. It is Just an old grand motherly custom, George. It will probably die out when you have grandchildren who like to go fish ing. Meanwhile, let us try to grin and bear it. (Copyright, John F. DUIe Co.)
