At the moment it ia apparently ".winging against organized labor, where as for quite a period, it swung, in the opposite direction. At hag been indicated in this column, we favor the present direction. Organized labor, was getting dangerously near the breaking point, and in its own interest and the interest of the country, the time had arrived to call a halt. But at the present moment we don't like certain signs and omens. "We want fair play and justice, for capital as well as la bor, we don't want more or less, than that for either. ' But if present tendencies continue, we see the danger of cer tain labor hot heads being kicked out, and replaced by hot heads from the other camp. This will be jumping from the fry ing pan into the fire. It will be taking another step in the same direction we just departed from and that every right thinking American wishes to avoid, the direction of a Fascist dictator ship. But . . , "IT can't harpen here!" We wonder how many of our subscribers read that book by Sinclair Lewis. It promises to become the most significant and prophetio volume published since Uncle Tora'a Cabin, if the present handwriting on the wall, isn't speedily rubbed out. For what COULDN'T happen here, boys and girls, is now HAPPENING 1 Read over the preliminary murmuring in the Lewis opus, and then note the recent press dispatches from Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Vigilante groups are being formed, throughout the strike areas. German Fascists, are drilling and quietly gathering re. emits, for a march on Washington of New Germany" to demand the repeal of the Wagner act. An appeal has been sent out for American Legion help- in smash ing picket lines. A revival of the in name, is demanded. IN short the dragon's teeth are being sown, precisely as Sin clair Lewis predicted, and, unless sane and restrained coun sels soon prevail, only a miracle can prevent the inevitable and tragio harvest. Once more the crying need is courageous and judicious lead ership. And once more we feel, President Roosevelt should sup ply it. WE went too far in one direction. Now let's not make the fatal mistake of going too far in the other. Once let this vigilante spirit grow and spread, unchecked, and the entire nation will be perched, on a keg of dynamite, with a short fuse spluttering to the final blow up. The President could stop it in 24 hours, by one radio speech, calling a spade a spade, and merely leing definite, instead of vague, as he was in his, "a plague on both your houses," state ment to his press conference. By all means a plague on BOTH their houses, those who are working toward a labor dictatorship on one side, those who are working toward a Fascist dictatorship on the other. But let's be EXPLICIT! Let the dangers be clearly pointed out; the hot heads and troublo makers on both sides, told to either get off the reservation or jump in the lake. That would clear the atmosphere at once, and reduce Uncle Sam's blood pressure by at least 50 per cent. As before stated it should be done, and the President is the only man who can do it I Keep Them Out ""pilIS isn't a timely subject. That is one reason we are bring- ing it up. If it were timely, we could he accused of picking on some particular street carnival, which had just appeared here, or had just gone. That would put us in a false position, for we are not against any certain carnival, but ALL of them. We believe the street carnival business has become a racket, and a bad one. They are little more than a collection of organized "gyp joints," operated on the principle that, a sucker is born every minute, and none should be given a break. At best they are a bore, and at worst they are a "front" for a bunch of itinerant tin-horn gamblers, and antiquated strip tease molls, to get in their dirty work. They take thousands of dollars out of a community, and leave nothing but a headache and worse. THEY are particularly insidious when they hold out the lure of profits to secure the sponsorship of some reputable local organization, and then with this as a smoke screen, go the limit and beyond. Wo would like to see the local license for street carnivals placed so high, thnt none of them cnuM afford to stop. They have been tolerated as legitimate entertainment which they aren't, long enough. If they want to do business in this community let them come clean, and give evidence of reasonable honesty and decency, FIRST. But in view of their record for many years, this evi dence should be supported by proper affidavit, and the posting of a sizeable bond as a forfeit I Dog, Goose, Ducks, Doves Are Pals in Novel Idyle WASHINGTON.

Odd House will have a separate bedroom for each member of the family, but no bedroom will be larger than 10 by 13 feet. The rest of the space usually used In the bedroom will be used for clothes closet, drawers, a dressing room and bathroom. The bathroom adjoining each bed room will take half tha space of the usual bathroom, because only shower baths will be used. But the bedrooms will have as much window space as possible, win dows entirely filling one aide. If pos sible two sides. Windows fitted with pull-up wire screens for summer, un bleached muslin screens for winter. The unbleached muslin screen Is the simplest way to have fresh air In the bedroom yet exclude dust, snow, wind, excessive cold. The unbleach ed muslin screen admits plenty of light to any room. It is washable. Every sleeping room In cold climate or cold weather should have one or more windows equipped with screens of unbleached mu&lln. Jt gives Ideal sleeping atmosphere. Such bedroom arrangement with the windows open and the winter or summer screens In place gives all. the advantages of a sleeping porch without the dis comforts and dlflcultles Involved In sleeping on an ordinary porch. The sleeping rooms will be on the second floor. Where sufficient ground Is available and not too costly, or where there Is an Invalid to be con sidered, It would be as well from the ; health viewpoint to have all rooms on the ground floor. For that mat ter, It Is as healthful to sleep In a basement room as It Is In an up stairs room, provided there la fair ventilation. That is, If you have no quaint superstitions about Imagin ary dampness. People who sleep or live In basement apartments have to be concerned only about freedom of the air from pollution by faulty fur naces, water heaters or other fuel- -QQMclntyre NEW YORK, July 6.

Sometime ago you described a sim ple skin test for chronic lesd pois oning, but my druggist could not get one of the Ingredients. (R. E.) Answer Paint the well-washed skin with a solution of one dram (teaapoonful) of sodium sulphide In one-half ounce (tablespoonful) of water. If an excess of lead la being excreted (as In chronic lead poison ing) the patch turns black In ft few houra. This la not very accurate but gives a clue worth following.

Answer Yes, good dentors today can replace teeth with several differ ent types of dentures besides bridge. But why ask me ft question like that? Haven't you a dentor In your town? Rheumatic Fever. How long does rheumatic fever usually last? Is It necessary to re main In bed while blood tesU are taken? (Mrn. J. B.) Answer Three to eight weeks. It Is necesssry to remain In bed until all fever haa gone, for If the patient Is allowed to get up there Is greater danger of Involvement of the heart lining and consequent damage to heart valves. .

The Japs and the Russians are mak ing faosa At each, other across the Amur river, and the gravity of the situation is Indicated by the fact that from a half to two-thlrda of A million men Are under anna In the region. Armies of that sine don't Just HAPPEN to be standing around when nations start making faces at each other. HPHE situation seems even more grave when the cause of the face making la considered. The shoo tin started (nobody knows yet which side started It, as each claims the other did) over a few muddy Islands In the Amur - river. What does Russia, which sprawls over half a continent, care for Another Island or so? What, for that matter. doea Japan, land-hungry though arte la, want wltb a few strategically un important specks of land In the roily Amur? All theae islands can amount to Is an EXCUSE for fighting. 'jpHE correspondents suggest that vaiu niiooinu rr bw commana Is disturbed over Dictator Stalin's executions of Russian officers and may wish to start a war with Japan In the hope that it will and in the downfall of Stalin. . They point out that for years Jap anese officers have been preaching the necessity of an Immediate war with Russia before soviet power be comes Invincible. npHESE may be reasons enough for plotters and counter -plotters, foi dictators and the enemies of dicta tors, but they will be MIGHTY POOR REASONS for the mothers whose sons will die If war comes.

So the mldwesterner hurried to his congressman and asked for a souve nir. The congressman, seeing noth ing else handy, gave htm a card of admission to the gallery.

Only the most delicate diplomatic negotiations at that time kept Rus sia and Japan from an open break after Japan had invoked the mutual assistance pact with Manchoukuo, the atate ahe carved out of Man churia, and seconded the young state's strong protests to Russia. Japan accused the Soviet of open ing fire on Japanese and Manchou kuoan soldiers as they were bathing off Sennufu Island In the Amur river, the hotly contested border be tween northeastern Manchoukuo and Siberia. j Sink Soviet Ship Japanese shore batteries opened fire on Soviet warships and sank one Soviet gunboat, disabled an other, and drove off a third. Troops of both claimants to the islands were withdrawn over the week-end snd the grave crisis was thought to have been ended 'al though at the time Japanese sources insisted further Russian "aggres sions' were to be expected. Both Siberia and Manchoukuo want Sennufu and Bolshol islands not because they are valuable in themselves they are but is nd spite often submerged by floods and tides but because they control the chan nel of the strategic frontier river. Soviet Reinforcements Although the Soviets have evacu ated the Amur river Islands they were reported today to be strength ening their troop concentrations all along the Russian side of tht river, alarming the Japanese and Man choukuoan commands. The alleged aasault yesterday waa received here with t!o greatest eur prlse and apprehension. The scene of the latest incident lies almost a thousand miles from that of the Amur river battle.
