The discoverer, appropriately enough, ia a physician Dr. F. E. Townsend, who for the paat few yean hag been caring for the indigent sick in Long Beach, California. Dr. Townsend's scheme ia known ai the "Old Age Revolving Pensions" plan, and according to report it will be presented to the next session of the congress, with several hundred thousand signatures. President Roosevelt has endorsed the principle of old age pensions. He has not, as yet, endorsed this particular proposal. Supporters of the plan however are confident he will. We are inclined to doubt that, for the president is opposed to a national sales tax, and it is proposed to finance this plan in that way. see However, the proposal is so ingenuous and unusual, it de serves comment if for no other reason than to show along what lines some of our amateur ecoaomists are thinking these days. Briefly the idea is this: Dr. Townsend would retire all men and women in thia coun try at the age of 60, on a pension of $200 per month. A married couple at or above that age, for example, would receive $400 per month. In return for thia generous gratuity, the Individuals would agree to send ALL that amount, within the thirty days following its receipt. They would also agree to work no more just enjoy themselves, as they wished, provided they did not travel abroad or engage in GAINFUL occupations at home. Only criminals convicted felons would be IXeligible to receive this golden manna. IT is estimated approximately 8,000,000 people in this country trniilH nnnlifv on aueh a nension lint. This would nnlv eoflfc Uncle Sam .about $1,000,000,000 per month, or approximately $20,000,000,000 a year I And this amount could be raised so the prospectus says, by a sales tax not exceeding 10, at the source that is to say an excise tax on manufacturers. esse TTALK about stimulating purchasing powerl This "FORCED" draft on purchases would put nearly two billion dollars a MONTH into the channels of retail trade 1 There would be no way out. That amount would have to be spent every 30 days. And as criminals are not eligible it would of course cure the crime wave. (With $200 a month assured at the tender age of 60, what potential Al Capone would sacrifice that income, for the hazardous occupation of say Unemployment t There would ple giving up their jobs and professions at the three-score mark every year. Poverty f With every 60 - year month for the remainder of their come in at the door J We quote further, from the prospectus: "This plsn of Old Ags Revolving Pensions Interferes in no way with our present form of government, profit system of busi ness or change of specie In our economic set up. It Is a slmpla American plan dedicated to the cause of prosperity and the abolition of poverty. . , , Humanity will be forever relieved from ths fear of destitution and want. The seeming need for sharp practices and greedy accumulation will disappear... Benevolence and kindly consideration of others will displace suspicion and avarice, brotherly love and tolerance will blossom Into full flower and the genial sun of human happiness, will dissipate the dark clouds of distrust and gloom and despair." In short there, made to order, for this harassed and per plexed human race is another Utopia. The only fly in the oint ment, is Dr. Townsend 's Utopia isn't the first one; nor will it be the last. Ever since Man emerged from the jungle, he has been building a better world in the field of the imagination, but somehow when tested by experience, these "Heavens built by human hands" have failed to click. Many have been tried. Utopian colonies have been established, so have idealistic Brook- field Farms, and Artists' retreats worked. We don't believe Dr. Townsend's scheme would, ai least not as he imagines, for that nuisance factor that pesky imponder able known as human nature always interferes. However, the plan is worth study and consideration, and perhaps who knows t it may contain somewhere within it, the answer to the forgotten man's prayer. "IITE must leave the rmuw:? cf expert analysis, however, to " the brain trusters and the economists. The only obvious flaws wo can detect are two: first the $20,000,000,000 a year, with which to super-charge the purchas ing power, would not be paid by the manufacturers hut by the people; and, second, the people, under 60, who would not be DIRECTLY benefitted by this generous "dole'', have enough difficulty in meeting their monthly bills, and taxes, ns it is! It Should Be Done ""RATER LAKE TARK should really be an all-year-round resort, a summer resort in summer; a winter resort or at least a recreational pniut in winter. All that is needed to achieve such an end, we are told, is keeping the highway open. Hut this, of course, requires money. And with the cut in the current budget for rond maintenance, from $7300 to $4600, no winter road clearing in lOXi, will be possible. In the opinion of the Mail Tribune this is false economy. With so many millions being spent toward non-constructive ends, it would seem that a paltry two or thre thousand might he devoted to rond clearing at Crater Lake, without straining Uncle Sam's credit, dangerously. In fact we regard winter sports at Crater Lake, as sufficient ly important to justify the people private fund, if the government within the park for this purpose.

Now that's an admirable way to be gin letter. I'll bet aha la a good business woman. It would take many women half a page to tell as much. ' For years I wore corsets, but for the last two or threfl a corse lette. Now I find my abdominal muscles are be coming flabby. I wonder It I should try to get a corset to cor rect this defect or could you give me some girth control exercises which might help. Ia It possible a person's organs may slip down aa they get older? What would remedy such a condition? E. N. Mc. A. What la a corselette? Old Dr. Webs ter tells all about corsets and corse lets, but washes his hands of It at that point. I gather that a cor selette la a set of stays of the vintage of 24 or later. It was about '24 that they began parking corsets, wasn't It? But no fooling. We are anxious to save the lady from the humiliation of resuming the wearing of armor. By following the advice hereinafter given, any gtrl or woman In good health can discard all corsets or braceB or stays by any other name and en- Joy better comfort, better health and a better appearance. First, it Is always a mistake for a girl to begin wearing any support, brace, arch, prop, splint, binder, belt or corset. Why do girls begin wearing such things? First because women always have worn 'em, second because the agent or saleswoman assures 'em they look so much better In the latest model of armor, third because being credulous creatures they still 'believe the wearing of some such garment or appliance restrains or molds the form to the correct standard, and in deed they spend millions annually for education that teaches Just that. With fair physical training, which Is part of the schooling of any girl but which Is pretty largely Ignored In the present educational program, a woman's own muscles will support her better than any artificial contrivance can and Insure her a more graceful appearance, too. If a woman can afford daily walk ing, say from three to eight miles dally, that Is the beat of all exercises. Swimming and tennis are fine, and even golf Is better than Just sitting or riding or driving, but walking is the most valuable dally physical train. ing to keep a woman trim and fit. Housework, especially washing and Ironing and scrubbing, Is good health exercise, provided the movements are NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK. Auir. 17.

Clyde Fitch was the Noel Coward of his day. An exquisite, he had a powder puff manner more noticeable In those rearing days than In th an drogynous era that followed. Yet his daintiness was somewhat a mask as a bully of the town once discovered In the Holland house foyer. He sought Fitch there about an Insult to a lady friend In a line of a play. Fitch al most stamped him to death, flicked a handkerchief from his pocket to dust off his hands and minced off In hts mlgnon way.
