Both honored "gradsV made between their viewpoints, was f LINT was all optimism and enthusiasm, as he looked into the future, and was convinced the world is good and life a lot of fun. Henry, in spite of the sensational success he has made, and the millions he has accumulated, took sharp issue with the younger man. The world to him is "lousy and cock-eyed", and the future so dark he sees nothing ahead but disaster and destruction. Very interesting and understandable. PANK sees the world through the eyes of youth, and inex- perience, with a glorious record of athletic achievement, and collegiate fame behind him; and as is true of most football stars at New Haven, social prestige and a good paying job efore him. Full of health, vitality and than the future should look rosy, of it should like "good" to VERY, why shouldn't it continue to bet I UGE on the other hand has been through the mill. True his material success has been phenomenal, but with that success have oome cares and irksome responsibilities. The world that has made that success possible, present writing. He shares the fears of most men of wealth and security, confronted with so much evidence, that a new social and economic order is in iyf OREOVER the two men are temperamentally as far apart as the poles. Luce was never a famous athlete in college, he didn't even play games. Even as a young man he was essen tially a thinker, and a thinker he remains. As a result he is more highly developed mentally, than he is physically, a certain lack of balance being inevitable. Frank, it is fair to assume, was never the thinking type He was and is no doubt a normal, healthy animal, always look ing outward and forward, never backward or within, what, is known as the extrovert in contrast with the introvert, type, and to such the world is always able proposition, than it is to FEEL. PINALLY, it is also fair to assume, our Ail-American hulf- back, possesses the gastric juices of a billy goat, young men of his exuberant health, vitality and perfect physical co ordination, usually do. And it is equally likely, Editor Luce not similnrly favored, has had after a hard night, serious diffi culties with his processes of assimilation. Well that simple fact makes all the difference in the world with one-'s philosophy.' What the world is or what it appears to be at any given time, depends very largely (perhaps entirely) upon the digestion. So the opposing viewpoints of these two fammis graduates of the same educational institution, are entirely natural nntl easy to understand their opinions, aa is true of all of us, arc oolored by their experiences, their temperaments, end their purely physical compositions. TI7IIICII is right, which wrong! IT As is usual in such extremes, neither. always lies somewhere in between. The situation is certainly not as hopeless as Editor Luce pictures it. There is going to be a profound change, no doubt, but as fur as this country is concerned it is almost certain to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, And even if the worst, as Mr. Luce sees it, happens, and the form of this government suffers a revolutionary change, it will not mean "disaster and destruction."" This country .is too rich, loo strong, and essentially too sane, ever to be thrown, as Luce predicts "on the junk heap." The new order may be very different from tho old, and involve the destruction of many things that seem to most of us. important anil worth while, hut human hrogross is the law of nature, and the people of this country, wo are confident regardless of political changes will muddle through successfully and eventually go on to better and finer things. ON' the other hand the situation is not as rosy, as it appears to our exuberant hero of the gridiron. We would do nothing to chill his delightful self confidence and enthusiasm, regardless of what the future holds, such an attitude of mind will help greatly but he will find soon enough, the real world is very different from the cloistered and artificial one he has been in for four short years. Ho will learn that in its present state "good" is scarcely the proper adjective, for it, and that unless ho is lucky enough to be a rare exception, he won't be disposed to cry so jubilantly when he is as old as Mrother Luce that, life is "such a lot of fun I" No, as the poetic philosopher observed, "life is real, life is earnest" and few indeed are those who reach maturity, and don't find their smiles pretty frequently clouded in a mist ot tears. Moreover there is no point in kidding ourselves that while tho future is not as dark as'Olooiny Hank" feels it to be, there is an uncertainty and an unrest on this ball of dirt, which can't be deuicd, and consequent problems, which will lake the best intelligence, ami skill, the human race can muster, if they are to be successfully solved.

Sanford, Chlcaeo, studied the skin condition . In 8.800 newborn babes. He concluded that Improperly laundered linen Is the common est cause of skin eruptions or Ir ritation In the first few days. After the first week, circumcis ion waa a com mon cause of akin Irritations. The skin of new born beblee Is sensitive to tho antiseptic used to prepare the field for circumcision. The akin of some Infants la sensi tive to the petrolatum UBed In the dresslngn. Intertrigo, that Is Irrlatlon or Inflammation occurring between the folds of skin or where opposing akin surfaces are in contact, causes little trouble. Buttocks reddened or Irri tated by loose stools heal promptly if exposed to the air and heat from an ordinary Incandescent bulb at a distance of 20 .Inches. Some babies cause considerable Irritation of tho skin by rubbing the face with tho hands. Thla will quickly clear up If the baby'1 hands are kept encased In silk mittens. In 1035 Dr. Sanford decided with some hesitation to leave the skin of the newborn baby entirely un treated. The skin Is merely wiped off after the baby la born, and noth-.: ing further is done to it until the baby la ten days old, when It may he cleansed with olive oil or with liquid petrolatum. No water or soap and water bathing In the first nine days. The skin of the babe so neglected Is much more pink and healthy looking than Is the new-born baby's skin washed with soap and water or with olive oil. Not that I am constitutionally op posed to all bathing, but, after all, man la the only mammal that bathes Its young In the first few doys of life, and. as thla extensive study of Dr. Sonford's shows, the natural protective covering of the skin is better than any substitute we can apply. The less soap used for the bath at any time, for Infant or adult, the better. Whenever a mere mopping of the skin with a little fresh olive oil or better fresh sesame oil If It Is available will cleanse It, that Is NEW YORK, Dc. 6.

Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS eTHIS writer spent two day this A week In Portland, on business Involving contaota with a rather w'o variety of people ranging from j business leadera and managers to average, everyday people with Jobs Among all these people, uneasiness la plainly evident. Portland Isn't normal thla fall. It la In tho grip of labor troubles not tho simple, old-faahloned, quite ' reasonable labor "troubles" In which I the employees wont to the boss and hit him up for u raise but a new and strange kind of Industrial war fare In whioh rival unlona are fight ing each other for POWER. Tho struggle (for tho present, at least) Isn't between employers and employees at al. It la between rival laoor leaders (ArL on one hand and CIO on the other) who seek to control those who work. THE fight has ' prostrated Port land'a lumber Industry, and has Interfered seriously with various other lines of manufacturing. Ship ping la hard hit. Stoppage or re duction of payrolls is affecting re tail business. Fear and uncertainty havo stopped all expansion and are causing those who still have Jobs to apend with extreme caution. Portland distinctly Isn't Ite nor malfcself. 1 fHE trouble Isn't confined to A Portland. Astoria has had Its shore. Marshfleld was prostrated for weeks. There have been difficulties at various places In the Willamette valT,y, But ,or the prMent Portland Is bearing the brunt of It. And It Is hurting. ' WHAT is the cause? Well, at the root of the trouble lies the Wagner act, which practi cally deprives employers of all rights in labor negotiations and puts vast powers in the hands of ths unions. Rival leaders re struggling for mon opoly of these powers. That Is the plain, although not palatable, truth. WHAT can be done about It? NOTHING, at present. The Wag ner act Is the law of the land., It has been enacted by congress, signed by the president and approved by the supreme court. Presumably it ex presses tha wishes of the people of the United States, or st least an over whelming majority of them. Until It is amended, we must live under It. And it will not be amended until the demand for amendment comes front the people themselves, through defeat of members of con gress who stand for the act as la and election in their place of con gressmen and senators who are pledged to amendment. That will take time. ME EANWHTLE. Portland Isn't the old comfortable. easy-going. rather self -satisfied Portland that Oregon people have known in the past. It Is worried. It doesn't know Just what to do next. You can hardly blame Portland people for being worried. Their basic Industry 1 crippled. Unemployment Is spreoding. Relief, If any, must apparently come from Washington and Washington Is a long way off and hard to do anything with. That Is one of the drawbacks of centralized government. Communications Census Aid Appreciated. To the Editor: The generous cooperation of dally newspapers In the educational cam paign covering the unemployment census ' proved exceedingly helpful to the government, as well aa to the many persons throughout the land Interested, directly And Indirectly. In th success of thj undertaking. The voluntary' nature or the census made It essential to obtain a wide dissemination of Information. The shortness of time, due to the necessi ty of getting this work out of the j i way before the Christmas rush in the post office department, made an in tensive campaign necessary.

(API Eatabllshment of a New Jersey labor party and steps towsrd a similar organization In Michigan occasioned new speculation today on the pos sibility of a national labor ticket In the 1940 presidential election. Representatives of both CIO and American Federation of labor took part In tho founding of the Ameri can Labor Party of New Jersey yes terday at Newark. Tho dolegatea to the founding convention declared they represented 150,000 organlied workers. No action was taken on the ques tion whether the new party should back Ita own candidates In elections or endorse those of other parties. Preliminary to establishing a Mich igan labor party, 2fl0 union members formed at Detroit yesterdsy Labor's Non-parlsan League of Greater De troit. Organized labor, long Important in politics, already has established Itself aa dominant In some localities. The American labor party, casting The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One) lean politics. He mentioned the 1 Follettes as the aort of men who would lead the liberals, and he said, "Make no mistake, I'll be on their side." There are several straws in the wind indicating vaguely how the mayor hopes to manage the delicate business of choosing sides. For ex ample, a La Follette-La Guard. a- con ference Is to be looked for fn the near future. Also significant was the mayor's recent registration aa a voter In the' American labor party. Take these in conjunction with his roughness with the Republicans and his treatment of the president, and ll .seems likely that he doesn't plan to be captured by either of the old political organizations. Wfiior.vr nnUt.ifol An r fit mayor nlumoa for. he will be a rather volatile ally. This Is entertainingly Illustrated by the curious process by which the old enemies. La Guardla and Ickes. became "dear Harold" and "dear Florello." In the first venm nf t.ht Kn- rwal the calr had enaraced In Aome notAhie name-calling contest, but the mayor is a practical politician, and Mr. Ickes Is not one to rrur a ffrnripe against a coming man. By last spring It was quite evident that the mayor was a coming man, and an Ickes La Guardla alliance wan formivi ' rt first result was the Ickes speech for La Guardla during the campaign. Its second was the mnvm-'s Mrn( denunciation of Federal Housing Ad ministrator Nathan Straus as a "star gazer," which had Its distant origin In a row over the housing adminis tration itself. Mr. Ickes Is the greediest bureaucrat In the whole New Deal. After a titanic atnifftrie ho succeeded last spring in getting the new nousing administration put mto uiv inwnor aepartment. Then, altho he pulled some very odd strings. Ickes was beaten hv officials and Senator Robert F. Wag ner of New York In his effort to get his own man out in fcn r,, it Straus was the opposition candidate. Tho mayor had never been very fond of Straus, although ho did not oppose his appointment to the hous ing post,. At tne mayor's confcrence In Washington on November 15. he ran Into Straus, had an argument with him. and lost his temper. On November 16. he luncheri mitv, . Ickes at Harvey's restaurant. Mr. Ickes was carrying on an tifl forgiving warfare against the un wanted Straus, who Is actually a very ueeiui otticial. Mr. Ickes probably broached the subject of Straus to tho mayor at their lunch. At any rate, on November IB. Straus received tho mayor's demand that he "stop star-gazing." which was elmultsne ously given to the public. And a little later the mayor forbade Lang don w. Post, chslrman of the New York housing authority and a lead ing Straus friend and Ickea enemy, to attend a housing conference called by Straus. The story has now ended it, the resignation of Mr. Post. But such Incidents show the mayor In the least favorable light. Actually, he la about the most successful public servant, and one of the most significant public flgurea in America iraay. However volatile he may oe. the side with which he allies hlmwlf will be fortunate. f'artl of Thank.
