Fought by Organized Big Top Fans Wagon Carv ing Decline Is Lamented. By PRESTON OROVER WASHINGTON. We ha to Just talked to Melvln D. Hlldreth, the Washington lawyer-president of the Circus Fans Association, Inc., and our hair Is full of tan-bark. The association Include a thou aand lawyera, bankers, movie actors and storekeepers pledged to work without pay or passes to perpetuate circuses. Wa can't help It If some of the things they do appear to be a bit bughouse. From a circus point of view they are a valuable as sunny weather. The organization waa started In Washington 13 years ago. Since then the capital ha cut Its tax on it big circuses from (400 a day to $160. San Antonio has done even better. Circuses used to avoid Ssn Antonio. The city tax waa $1,000 a day and city officials demanded ocean of passes. That Ended That Then Harry Hertzberg, millionaire attorney, a circus fan, took over. He asked tho city officials why they should get so many passes, hinting he would make the whole thing public. The officials. In retaliation, threatened to harass circus employes by arresting them for Irregular park ing or selling peanuts. Hcrzberg an swered by putting a lawyer and a bondsman In every court on circus day. That ended that. Oovernor Allred of Texaa also Is a member of tho association. Once ho vetoed a bill that had been en acted to punish circuses because leg islators had not gotten all tho passes they wanted. We didn't know that It mattered, but Mr. Hlldreth aald the society was alarmed at the decadence of the art of carving circus wagons. Circus- wagon carvera are rare. On the other hand, there Is a plethora of American circus perform ers. A few years ago America had to comb Europe for act. Now If the reverse. Taking Movie Tip Tho society Is trying to build un Individual performers the way the movies build up stars. Probably vou should know also that a Mr. Davis of Bridgeport. Conn., a member, Is writing a history of circus elephants. mo nas a hair from every elephant about which he has written. Circuses, says Mr. Hlldreth, aro very careful of their reputation. They aro proud to boast that they have never needed a censor. Rlngllng oruwiers circus, witn 42 railroad care aoiaze with paint, passed through Washington a day or two back for tho opening Irr Now York. The cor In which tho unmarried girl per former tiavel has no end doors so other performers may not walk through. Also, said Hlldreth. the performers were oblazo with enthusiasm. They predict 1938 will be a Doom season. depression or no depression. They expect help from Oargantua, the gorilla. Incidentally, tho society Is burned up about the Metropolitan opera. Hlldreth says oven It most expen sive tickets bear no federal tax bo causo the opera la a cultural Insti tution. The fans are lobbying to have clrcui ticket exempt, too, at least tho end seats where mama and Papa go with the kiddles. Thev In sist the circus, as viewed from the end seats. Is as cultural as the opera LIFE'S JUST A JACKSONVILLE. Fla. ( AP) The life of 64-year-old J. L. Hsdsock Is dally grind.

DOES COLD CAUSE FACIAL PALSY Qooseflesh, chilblain and frostbite are, to date, the only ailments def initely duo to cold. In atattng this fact I do not mean to Imply that cold may not be a eon- trlbuttng or an aggravating fac tor of numerous other aliments bellyache, for ex ample, and re as. onlng purely from analogy I ahould think one with almost any acho would be more comfortable If he keeps nice and warm. And for that matter, I have plenty to argue about, without questioning the com mon belief that a victim of chronic rheumatlz, whatever alia him, suf fers less In a mild warm climate or In summer than In a cold climate or In winter. At the same time, with out uttering one word In the pres ence of Mr. or Mrs. Wiseacre, I re serve my conviction that neither the climate nor the weather nor the amount of clothing the victim wears nor the degree of artificial warmth he maintains In the atmosphere !n which ho lives ha a thing to do with the etiology of his ailment. From way back the great doctors authorities, specialist and all have "pronounced" facial palsy to be due to exposure of the face to cold. For example, when the patient wakes one morning and finds ho can't whistle, frown wink or even smile a the trouble most often manifest Itself It Is comparatively easy for the learned doctor to shake hla head and inform the patient that he or she evidently slept In a draft last night, caught cold In the facial nerve and consequently ha facial neuritis. In pathology, however, such an hypo thesis cannot satisfactorily account for Inflammation of a nerve but learned doctor sounding off In the consulting room or In the sick room do not bother much about pathology. Aa long as tho patient Is Impressed, thst'a all that matters, Isn't It? The facial nerve emerges from it origin In the brain through a chan nel in tho skull bone Just behind tho ear. The nervo is frequently In volved In chronic middle ear Inflam mation, and thla accounts for many instances of facial palsy ascribed to cold" or exposure to cold draft on the face. Man About Manhattan By O tO It IE TUCKER NEW YORK, It was to be a night of brldgo. For blood. Four men In shut sleeves c inhered about a tab! dealing and ahuffllng the little spotted cards. And no women. No goa slp. No endless chatter and te dious pauses .be tween bids. "You will have to pinch hit for me." said Charles, who is a doctor. "But you will have a stood time. Dick Ma- &tUR(3E lUCktfl ney, Morton Dow ney and Conrad Miller will be there At my house, I asked them to come and now I have to go and take out a Jeweler's appendix. You'll find the key In the mailbox. But the others will probably be there. Move right In. Help yourself. Everything you wnnt will be In the Ice box and on the kitchen table." And so I cancelled an appoint ment to meet C. L, Martin, the writer, at the library, where we were going to look up a lot of data on early New York murders. And I went up to Charles' house, about 8:30. I wanted to see Dick Maney, who Is a poet and a publicist and I wanted to see Morton Downey who Is Irish and a singer. Maney and I have a half-date to go to New Orlrns on a banana boat soon, and It would be a good time to discuss It with him. But when I got there a cheery fel low whom I had never aeen met me at the door. "My name's Oreen." he explained. "Morton Downey couldn't get here and I'm tAklng his place Hope you don't mind." Oreen w. a tall, very lanky fel low and a good companion. And In a few minutes, alnce the other, hadn't come, we went back Into the kitchen and got out the Ice and mixed a few cool gla.ws of water, to ease our thirst. A. the lee water sank home and we beipnn to feel tike old friends, the door bell Janeled. and in walked an other lad neither of us had ever seen. "Pay." he antd. "I'm taking Dtck Maney's place.

Sciatica 1 Inflammation of the great sciatic nerve, the largest nervo In tho body, half as thick and wide aa your thumb.

Partial dislocation, relaxation, slipped Inno minate as the osteopath call It the osteopatha recognized these not uncommon sacroiliac sprains, strains or relaxations long before we regu lars dld( and in my opinion an osteo path la the right one to consult when you have sciatica, lumbago or any similar disability. In a many cases sciatica la a neuritis of Infec tive character, usually focal Infection duo to bacteria or their toxin from some long neglected septic focus else where In the body.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I TP AT Pendleton on Saturday night, Oovernor Martin made a speech to tho Young Democrata of Oregon, duly assembled In state con vention. When he arrived In the convention city, he carried In his pocket a PRE PARED speech, but by the time he got up to talk his mind wa full of things that HE HIMSELF wanted to say, so he tossed aside his carefully written manuscript and waded Into hi subject extemporaneously. Judging by newspaper reports, It wa worth listening to. WHEN Governor' Martin speaks his own thoughts, In his own blunt but quite human and charming way ho is ALWAYS worth listening to. It' 1 only when he permits profes sional political handlers, through the medium of prepared speechea, to put weasel worda (sa Woodrow Wilson called them) Into his mouth that ho falls to be Impressive. GOVERNOR MARTIN came down Into Southern Oregon last tall, and while here he made a numbei of speeches at various gatherings held In hla honor or at which, he was a guest of honor. His speeches were of two kinds carefully prepared manuscripts writ ten by political advisers (which were uniformly dull and dry and tlrcsorpe) and hla own extemporaneous talks, made on the spur of the moment and expressing unquestionably his own opinions, which without exception were sparkling and witty and OBVI OUSLY SINCERE. His prepared manuscripts left his hearers bored and more than a little disappointed, while hi extemporane ous talks brought them out on the edges of their chairs, cheering and enthusiastic. THIS writer, who Is a lifelong Re publican, expect to vote for Oovernor Martin next fall If thi Democrata nominate him thla snrln? I When the governor la himself speaking out In public In hi own picturesque but fearless way, this purpose Is a whole-hearted one and Is pleasant to contemplate. In these daya of wordy and windy demagog Ism, when promising ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING 1 the rule. It Is a real pleasure to have someone like Martin to vote for. It la only when he let his politi cal handlers put words In his moutli that ho doesn't believe (sa he doer every now and then) that this writ er's enthusiasm has a tendency to COOL OFF.

When their members have lost their Jobs, the unions have required them to pay up all back dues before al lowing them to work as union men again. By excutlng Jobless C.I.O. men from dues payments, Mr. Lewis kept the C.I.O. membership almost Intact The unemployment committees were then established everywhere to give the Jobless, non-dues paying C.I.O. men a sense of still belonging to the C.I.O. The committees have three duties. They must tell all unem ployed union members what their rights are In the relief set-up and how to get relief. They must help the unemployed on to the relief rolls. And they must watch over en rollees. to see that they get every thing that is coming to them. For the Jobless C.I.O. men, the unemployment committees have per formed precisely the same function as the Tammany district leaders used to perform for the poor in their dis tricts. The political potentialities of the committees are obvious. Less ob vious Is the potentiality they have of increasing C.I.O. enrollment. By a shrewd arrangement of Mr. Lewis', the Jobless CJ.O. men are asked to make a sort of bargain with the unemployment committees. They are given valuable help In getting relief. In return, they are expected to become unpaid C.I.O. organizers among other relief workers. In De troit, for example, the unemploy ment committee of the United Auto mobile Workers General Motors local finds Bill Smith a place on the WPA. In return. Bill Smith enrolls In the U. A. . any non-union motor worker who may be Jobleas. The newly enrolled Jobless are excused from dues Just as Bill Smith Is. Thus a new class of C.I.O. mem bers is being built up. They, too. are being helped by the unemploy ment committees, and Mr. Lewis and his CJ.O. friends count on their loyalty In the future. Enough of them have already come In to make the C J.O. s depression recruit ment remarkably impressive. Of course, the C.I.O.. while It has maintained Its enlistment, haa. lost Chevrolet f&f JINGLES I don't want to harp on this question of "Fear" But it really seems to be 'bout all you hear. On Treasure Island they're building works of art, But where would they be if they were 'fraid to start?

From financial point of view, BUI Smith it even a alight liability to Mr. Lewis' outfit. But Mr. Lewis and his friends are still spending no 'more than they are taking In, and meanwhile they are) finding their new program so suc cessful that they have no time to worry much about their Income. Mr. Lewis himself has devoted th greater part of his time thla winter to the development of the unem ployment committees. With him, also working hard, have been Ralph Het zell, C.I.O. unemployment director, who la officially In charge of tha program, and Lee Pressman, tha CJ.O.'s shrewd, far-sighted general counsel. It's too early to prophecy Just how far the committee program can go. Much haa already been done In bringing workers not Immediately eligible for CJ.O. membership Into contact with the labor movement. Much more can be done. An im portant foothold In the relief set-up has been gained here and there. In cities where the relief administrators permit the C.I.O. committees to cer tify workers as eligible for relief. The foothold may be Increased. Alto gether the CJ.O.'s experiment It something to watch very closely. Messrs. Lewis. Hetzell and Pressman will make as big a thing of It as they can.
