FEW day ago under the Maynard Keynes, noted British economist, regarding Roose velt's economic and monetary policies. Keynes favored easing off federal expenditures for public pedal on buying gold in the open market, and working toward a commodity dollar; and all steam ahead on eventual stabiliza tion of the dollar, and a managed currency. A more careful study of President Roosevelt's two mes sages, indicates strpngly that the course advised by Keynes, is precisely the course, the President intends to follow. 1VT R A has not been abandoned and probably won't be, but " General Johnson has already liberalized many of its pro visions, and in his message, President Roosevelt devoted very little space to this phase of his New Deal. The sensational request for six billions in borrowed money, can only mean one thing: that the government plans a pro gram of direct spending, UNPRECEDENTED in this country, during times of peace. In the matter of a commodity dollar,-heretofore, the Presi dent has emphasized a dollar "with EXACTLY the same pur chasing power and debt paying power from generation to generation." In his recent message he spoke of a dollar which "will have over the years, less variable purchasing and debt paying power." The first is the commodity dollar. The second is managed currency. liniETHER or not Mr. Keynes' open letter was directly responsible for this radical change In the administrations policies, we don't know. The short time elapsing between the publication of the letter and the President's message renders the truth of such an explanation, improbable. But there ia NO doubt, that Deal, President Roosevelt and mist, are seeing things eye to future, in perfect step I The G. 0. P.

P. attack on the most gigantic deficit in the country's history. Continued silence on the part of the opposition could hardly be expected. A debt of 31 billion in time of peace, provides an excellent talking point. If the with alarm" now ia the time to NEVERTHELESS, we shall be surprised if the G. 0. P. gets ' very far with it. The trouble is, President Roosevelt l,rougnt out tne bad newg FIRST, He not only refused to minimize the deficit, there is good rBason 4 Relieve he exaggerated it. In fact, he deliberately chose the maximum estimate. And as usual, in so doing he dis- Bhrewd plitical - For choosing the minimum figure and then being forced to it, would have been bad. Choosing the maximum figure and then coming under that estimate, will be all to the good. (See if that isn't the way it works out!) " Ji0RE0VER, few people in this country understand money. iVl The difference between a debt of 27 billion and one of 31 billion, is not generally grasped. . . . . t , . ....

' So while the Republican orators will no doubt continue to view with alarm and predict national bankruptcy, we doubt very much if the American people as a WHOLE either follow them, or share their apprehension. IN THE first place tho basis of the alarm is nothing new. The Republicans didn't discover the deficit. President Roosevelt did that himself. In the second place, if that, deficit DOES spell national bankruptcy, why hnsn't something happened ALREADY! Tho bad news was released a week ago. What has har- It means more.

THE PATHOLOGY OP OBESITY Tha tradition that fat folk ara Jolly, good natured, alwaya laughing and looking on the cheerful side, grew up In a day zzi when fat folk didn't care didn't know how young they were doomed to die, Prior to 35, moderate over weight, that Is, not more than 10 per cent In ex cess of the stand. ard for age and height, la favor able to longev ity and there' fore approved by Ufa insurance com panies. Such plumpness tn youth la a fairly good algn, if not actual as surance that the Individual haa no tuberculosis. Such a youth la well nourished, carefree, aa comely as may be, so why shouldn't ha or she be Jolly? After 35, however, excess weight la rather an unfavorable con dition; conduces to shorten life, com pels the Individual to alow down; makes one look and act prematurely old; favors development of diabetes. These are only general observations. It Is not to be assumed that a plump or fat young person Is Immune from pulmonary tuberculosis. Nor la the portly party of middle age to be pro nounced quite dead Just because he has commenced to swell. So long as a fat person can hold his breath 30 seconds or longer there la hope. Many women, and some men, who take on excess weight after 30, be come unnaturally drowsy .that Is. un Uke their former aelvea In that re spect, lazy or disinclined to work or play as much aa formerly, short of pep, and become unduly sensitive to cold, that Is, wanting more clothing or more heat than normal persona around them or more than they themselves required before they went stale, and who actually have a body temperature that is below the normal of healthy persons, are suffering from one type of glandular obesity hypo thyroidism. Women with hypothy roid obselty usually complain or scanty, irregular or absent menstrual function. They have low blood pres sure and are anemic, stupid, sad. No dieting or exercise or other remedial measures can accomplish any lasting benefits In these hypothyroidism casea without the proper glandular therapy, and the family physician or & good general practitioner (not a specialist) la the only one who knows how to administer such treatment to achieve the moat satisfactory re sults and yet not harm the general health. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre NEW YORK, Jan. 9. Praaler Hunt Is most persistent of the galloping Journalists. He will not "stay put." Born In Alexis, III., where the cracker-barrel ap pellation "Spike" was bestowed, his career has been a real life trav elogue. Like his side.klck, Floyd Gibbons he la keyed to alarms and excitements. Just when he - e lost such In serene domesticity, he sud denly chucks It all to take a boat to some Moslem country. Perhaps to rush Into a mosque to proclaim hla Uhrlstaln faith 1 He has lived in world capitals from Singapore to Stockholm. He knows the Prince of Wales well enough to call htm David, haa slept in Formosa camphor trees. Interviewed then unknown Hitler In a Munich attic and bivouacked with bandits near the Khyber Pass. Just now he has taken root in a shaded street in Bronxville. Yet it's a safe bet he's studying world maps. A giant six footer, with the figure of a Northwest mounted, ha haa the naivete of the open spaces. Yet no one sees so clearly through fictitious fellowships, pompous conferences and sundry false altruisms. Indeed, It may be these sheer sickliness that keep him on the got Rube Goldberg haa the courage to do what few artists have with long sustained success. He Is completely changing his pace. More than any other cartoonist of nU time, he es tablished the utterly grotesque tn his drawings. The balancing feata of hla absurd atatxiea have made folk howl wherever newspapers are printed. But Rube, after more than 20 yeare, tired of drawing them. So he devised new figures for an entirely different type of cartoon. And they are honeys. Former Mayor O'Brien attains hla greatest popularity in defeat. Prom booing at news reels and prim fights, the crowds are stopping to cheer. At a recent banquet he received the most sustained applause. The reac tion la eatty explained. He took It on the chin without a whimper. They were telling tale of explorers at The Players. This one made Villi Jatmur Stefansaon laugh right out from the midriff. There was an ex plorer who always Included In his eipedltlon an unshapely, decidedly unlovely and strikingly homely wo man. No matter where he went she wat along knitting, sewing and doing little odd Jobs. Once the explorer was aked why he persisted In taking along such an unattractive creature. "Whenever." he explained. "I feel at though I'd like to take hervout to tea, 1 rush back, to clvlliaaUoo." Brady, M.D. answered by Dr. Brady If a tamped Letters should be orlef and written In letters received only a few can be an queries not conforming to Instructions. Of all the fools none la more ao than the one who monkeys with duct less gland medication of any sort on his own responsibility or the assur ance of some quack or nostrum mon ger. There are many so-called "harm less" reducing treatments on tha mar ket which contain thyroid extract. You pay your money and take your poison If you're big enough fool. There are many other symptoms or signs of functional Insufficiency of the thyroid gland lh these cases of hypothyroid obesity, but I've said enough to warn the layman against meddling with machinery he cannot hope to understand. When It comes to our most precious possession, health, we are Indeed a nation of gamblers. That Is why the thousand and one marvelous quack obesity cures or reduction treatments sell so well. Of course there la a reason why the thyroid function slows down In tneae cases of thyroid obesity, but that's a story I've told many times before and shall tell many times again.

JMl Hot It; Poital and Wttttrn Uaiea Oflcti A "Farmer" Analyzes the Sales Tax To the Editor: In all discussions about taxes there are two points that stand out quite clearly. The first Is that all public expenditures, be It city, oounty, state or national, come from the earnings of all the people and that every single one of us contributes to that public expenditure In a great or lesser de gree. Far too Urge a proportion of our voters fail to appreciate this fact and therefore because it draws no checks In favor of the sheriff or collector of internal revenue. Joyously vote for public expenditure, tn the mistaken belief that all of the skin comes from the other fellow's hide. The far larger proportion of votes for these public expenditures It thinks It can make some other, fellow or class- pay most of the tax levied to meet them. Theoretically, we are all willing to pay our fair shrre of government In exchange for the benefits and pro tection we receive from our govern ment, the ability to pay, that la In come, being considered, but every Individual earning an Income paying something, however small the amount. Practically most of use are concern ed In soaking the other fellow and In so doing cutting down our contri bution. This self-interest factor leads to the second point standing out clearly, that the arguments for and against any particular tax are almost never frank and honest. Every pos sible effort la made to befog the Issue by appeals to emotion, prejudice and self-interest and always sinister mo tives must be attributed to the fellow arguing the other side of the ques tion. Human nature being what It Is, this la all natural enough, but If! Democracy la going to maintain Itself with reasonable efficiency the aver age voter must learn to discount these partisan statements. To my mind the most important factor in the prosperity of the coun try as a whole Is the farmer, the man who gets his own living from the land and feeds all the others. If he cannot make a decent Uvtng the scale of living for everybody else muse come down and the farmer, by his votes up to 1933, helped the other fellow's game. Unprotected himself, he has Joined the Industrial workers, the manufacturers and "big" busi (Cominueo from fage One; The Henderson appointment Is part of a gentle reorganization In that outfit. Notes The biggest kid at the White House Christmas party for the young peo ple was Mr. Roosevelt himself, and that Is no exaggeration. He stayed up until 2 a. m. Mr. Roosevelt sounded a new key note for the consumer organisations In his message saying they ahould 'enter the market place equipped with sufficient organization to Insist upon fair prices and honest sales." Morgenthau has sought to bury the hatchet with the press. He Invited the boys out to dinner recently. The government is not guarantee ing the Interest on farm credit bonds because It wants to but because the step Is needed In order to market that type of paper. In a speech the other day Jerome Franck, the liberal leader In the AAA, made the statement that the Roose velt administration Is out to preserve the profit system. He said those op posing Roosevelt might force aboli tion of the profit system. That Idea fits In anugly with the president's message to congress. Mr. Schmidt Improved O. F.
