In plain English, and as a matter of faot, th. real reason Is because the farmers have too muoh hay down. There Is now an auto that adver tises: "YOU WILL FORGET WHEN YOO BUT GASOLINE." We have tried that, but the oil squirt always remembers, A group of BUI Oore corner econ omists quit wrestling wife world problems long enough to wrestle with each other and endeavor to place a brother dlsplomat hip-pocket down In the drinking fountain.

The economy bill as passed worked many unwarranted hardships upon deserving veterans, President Roosevelt is willing the main principle of the measure, which was that relief should be confined to those veterans who had suffered from actual war service, he is not willing to abandon. 'T'HAT is the situation now. In our opinion, President Roose velt's stand is absolutely right, and has the support of the people of this country, as a whole. But he has a majority of congress against him. With the budget still unbalanced, with reduction of taxes imperative, radical war pension But if the president surrenders out. " The contest with congress, in the Roosevelt administration. IP President Roosevelt weakens, or falters, not only will one a of the important principles but his entire program will be if he holds his ground, refuses win, but his power and prestige - Defying congress, under the no joke. It will require not only dualities of statesmanship. Failure to do so however, doubtedly mean the failure of his administration, in the end. The Holding Company Racket . ' " rB admission of O. P. Van Sweringen, at the J. T. Morgan hearing, that holding companies were formed to evade income taxes, should result in' radical action against this dis credited racket of Big Business. ' ' - -.. Holding companies have long been popular in most public utility organisations. Not.onjy have taxes been evaded, but excess profits have been enjoyed. By juggling records and aocounts hither and yon," rake-offs have been taken by a few manipulators and higher-ups and the people as usual have held the sack. Had it not been for holding companies, the, Insull pyramid would never have crashed, and thousands of people would not have been ruined. THE public utilities should be as much interested in holding company reforms, as the people. For unless- they them selves clean house, sooner or later the people are going to do it for them and that would be just too bad. There would then be no other possible outcome, than general public ownership and operation, On. the other hand if the aeree to make rates to the public tent with a fair and only a fair profit on their investments, then private ownership under public control will be retained. It is really up to the public utilities. If they blindly persist in this holding-company racket, in ruthlessly trying to get all the traffic will bear, then they will reap the whirlwind and have only themselves tp blame. ' Cyrus H. K. Curtis t ALTHOUGH Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who died yesterday, pub lished newspapers he was never a newspaper man. Al though he published magazines, and made his fame and fortune out of the Saturday Evening Post, he was never an editor. He was Bimply and solely a business man, and he bought newspapers and magazines for one reason alone, to make money out of them. He succeeded. From the Saturday Evening Post he made millions, from the Ladies' Home Journal and Country Qontleman more millions. His newspapers were never as profit able, but until the depression he made them pay also. As a result his publications were colorless, impersonal, what the intelligcnzia would term "bourgeois". For Mr. Curtis was no reformer, had no desire to change the world, or advance his pet ideas he wanted to make money and he realized that the best way to make money was to please as many people as possi ble and offond as few. So he concentrated upon giving the people two things information and entertainment. He insisted upon accuracy for the first j and deoency for the second in faot he was almost prudish in his moral restrictions. A ND that was what the people DID want at least a major " ity of them. So millions of people read his publications, not because so many people were crazy about them, as because so few were offended by them. In other words Mr. Curtis represented the apotheosis of the commonplace the average the rank and file. Highbrows scorned him, lowbrows had no dle class, the bone and sinew of the nation swore by him. In all likelihood his passing marks the end of an area, from a newspaper and magazine standpoint.' His publications will cither change radically, or they will gradually disappear. For among other things the new deal is going to demand a new literary fare a fare in which Saturday Evening Posts and Ladies' Home Journals will have a steadily declining appeal.

William Brady In care of DECRICKIMi A CRICK IN' THE BACK An automobile dealer Bay? he has found out how to decrlck a crick In the back. Naturally he was particu larly Interested In (v .h a t" we said about It here re cently. He craves to tell the world that: "I have Buffered from this and eventually landed with an osteopath who treated me for It and told me the cause. He also me how to treat myself or rather to have some one treat me If I felt It coming on. When this occurs If one lies flat on .his back and an other person raises tbe legs and low ers them straight down again In a straight line with the body, one leg will be found somewhat longer than the other. ..." Which reminds us that careful measurements of Vie length of the legs will generally show one Is longer than the other, or the other is short er than 't'other, as you prefer, In normal persons. However, let the brother Kldarlan have his head for a bit longer: 'V . . one leg somewhat longer than the other is due to the innomi nate having slipped somewhat." (This Latin our osteopathic colleague's good friend Is pulling on us refers to the wing of the hip bone at its Juncture with the sacrum or base of the spine I say Junction, not Joint. The amount of slipping or disloca tion of the. bones, In case of sacro iliac strain or sprain or ortck In the back Is a question which has caused much controversy. But the contro versy may be left to the physicians, for I don't believe It makes and practical difference so far as diag nosis end treatment of sacro-lllac sprains or crick In the back may be concerned). "Then If the second person will grasp the shorter leg and : flex both hip and knee several times,, straightening It out again each time. until it becomes relaxed, and then give It a sudden yank ...

"My brother could not get out of bed one morning. One yank cured him. I slipped on the tennis court and suffered exteremely until I got yanked. Another time I Jumped down from a stepladder. landing heavily on by heel and suffered severe crick In the back and down the back of the hip, but a yank or two cured It. It seems dumb of the physicians that so many of them have never learned about tiita I fixed up our head mechanic once by yanking him out of a sacro-lllac sprain. "In giving the yank the leg Is snapped out straight from the fully flexed position, as the Inertia or re laxation with the bending of thigh on hip and leg on knee helps to draw the displaced bone Into place." How much truth and .how much poetry there may be In our friend's clinical contribution I leave for vic tims of crick In the back to deter mine for themselves. Frankly the osteopaths, darn them, taught us regular physicians a good deal about sacro-lllac strain or sprain or "slipped innominate" as they call It. So If the automobile dealer has correctly Interpreted the instructions given by his osteopath, I'll say It sounds plausible enough. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS But He'd Know Ham and Eggs The recipe you gave for anemia la rather confusing. My pharmacist couldn t figure out whether you mean an ounce of iron and an ounce of ammonium citrate or half an ounce of each, ... So he used tincture of Iron chloride. (Mrs. O. E. D.) Answer. Fortunate he dldn t use moth balls or something. He must be singularly dumb. Iron and am monium citrate Is an old, old stand ard remedy, official In the Pharma copoeal for many years. The Phar macopoeia is the legal standard for mulary for pharmacists. Probably yours wouldn t know it from the street directory. I'll bet he can turn out excellent cheese sandwiches.

My night club days go back to the robust era of Charlie Journal's Montmartre, Bus . v tanoby's and the later Palais Roy- They had in nocuous gaiety but they were abloom with striking hedge f lowers. The other evening I visited several after long ab sence. All were a ghostly array of empty white tables. Walters leaned against posts and yawned. Young O. O. Mclntyre musicians tried to appear alert crouching over their Instruments, but it was palpably feigned. It was as though the cus tomers were attending a wake in evening clothes. The chief virtue was the atmosphere of frankness. No one .was pretending to enjoy It. Those who danced drifted in tired stupor. Next to the table where four of us dabbled bacon and eggs an elderly satyr gazed at a simpering girl with the same emlle he will likely wear In Hades. Conversation, skim ming a foolish surface was In mono syllables. Not even a "wise money boy" was about. As a drab experiment In one place we gave vent to pre-arranged yawns In unison. The few stragglers, caught in Its contagion, laughed, the only laughter. A frayed cigarette girl swerved from her tranquil tread to point out a tuxedoed gangster. A miserable evening, costing our host $57. It was far more fun at a free lec ture at the Barblzon -Plaza. After seated I discovered It was in foreign language. A titluppy man wandered aisles to touch a finger to his lips as a rebuke for unnecessary noise. Some how he incubated a flock of giggles. I struggled to keep my face straight, thinking of heart-wrenching situa tions and making up poetry, but fi nally raced to the exit where I let go In whoops. It was the best laugh since Dick Berlin's bite Into a leaky chocolate eclair gooed up the luxur iant beard of the sedate professor on his right. Amon Carter's son, Amon, Jr., was tweaked by a boyish shyness. His father decided It would be a good thing for him to sell the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, the paper he pub lishes, on a prominent corner.

The father also attended, but his heart sank when the toastmoster called on the son to speak. With the sangfroid of a veteran orator, the boy leaped to his feet and boomed: "Do you want me to speak here or out there in the middle.
