Certain students at the University of California (at Los Angeles) have launched a new pension plan, instead of "thirty dollars every Thursday" it provides "fifty dollars every Friday." Inxtead of the beneficiaries being oldsters above 60, the beneficiaries are youngsters, below 50. The leaders of the movement point out that if $30 every Thursday would bring permanent prosperity then why wouldn't 50 every Friday, bring even more permanent and more ex tended prosperity t Well WHY wouldn't itt We suggest the question be referred to Professor Qnis for his next weekly broadcast. No doubt there ia a catch in it somewhere, but we doubt if the Professor oan find it. Rather Childish "TTHERE appears to be an epidemic of childishness sweeping the crust of this turbulent einder. , Eleven Soviet airmen, arise on their hind legs for example and call Colonel Lindbergh a liar. They claim "Liiuly" shortly after his return from Russia and Germany, attended a dinner at Lady Astor's and told the assembled guests, in his judgment the German air force, could whip the combined air forces of Russia, England and France.' He was further alleged to have stated the Soviet air fleet wasn't so hot, anyway. As a result, Premier Chamberlain did not dare call Herr Hitler's bluff and prevent the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia. Lady Astor, with characteristic spirit and promptitude, calls the statement of the Soviet airmen, a complete falsehood, made out of whole cloth, Lindbergh less made any such statement, says nothing. WHETHER the Soviet fliers are right, or Lady Astor, what a aillv nerfrtrmnnee rtflrtieillarlv from t.hp stHndrjoint of v i the former. Such a sweeping statement by sound probable, but even if he some private dinner in London, Lindbergh is only one man in he speaks for himself alone, and than any other distinguished aviator. There is no more reason to would base its foreign policy him, than by any other touring But if John Bull should have done so, THEN whatt It' ia certainly nothing for the air arm of Soviet Russia, to rubliely challenge, and follow up by branding the leading aviator of a friendly nation, a liar. Either the Russian airmen, ment, or they have too much Come, Come Little Children! THE reply of William Green, Federation of Labor, to his strikes us, as further evidence Green doesn't sound like an adult person, who has so success fully led the forces of organized labor these many years, but more like a school boy, whose bluff has been called, and instead of holding his ground sticks out home and motlier. Yesterday Brother Green asked that Mr. Lewis for the sake of labor peace resign as head promptly agreed to do so, if Mr. This was certainly accepting but Mr. Green instead of facing the music and either refusing or accepting, calls his rival a tyrant and dictator, and maintains that if he did step out "II Duce Iwis" would still be boss, for the C. I. O. is not a democratic organization. Then to cap the olimax, President Green says he will leave his resignation up to the rank and file of his organization which means just as much as Der Fuehrer leaving his resignation up to the next lection that he and his brown shirts control! IT w if : would be good thing for both Qrccn and Lewis, stopped out, for they have reached such an impasse of ill temper and vindietivenoss, that no work able reconciliation is possible. As a result everyone in the country suffers, but particularly the inuoccnt bystander, the people.

OO EASY WITH The only analgetic or pain-killer wo can fairly countenance in the Medietas Cupboard U acetylnllcyile add, more familiarly known as plrln. Formerly thla waa patent d but the pat ent expired yeara ago and today any one may manufacture and sell a cety .salicylic acid under Its chemical name or under the name of aspirin, and In fact many reli able manufactur ers do ao. there being little If any difference d tween various brands, except in price. Not to exceed a dozen five-grain tablets of aspirin may be kept In the Medicine Cupboard for emerj encles. It should be used only for emergencies, not for trivial com plaints. Although acetylaallcyllc acid Is, In my opinion, the least objec tionable or least dangerous of all pain-killers, atlll It la well to remem ber that even a dose or two of as pirin may produce serious or alarm ing untoward effects In certain In dividuals. For Instance, the U. a. Pharmacopoeia says two dosea of five grains each caused marked heart weakness, pulse rate of 136, edemat ous swelling of face arid mucous mem branes; In another Instance a single dose of five grains of aspirin caused alarming edema or swelling of the face and throat. So the layman must beware of resorting to aspirin when the risk of untoward effect Is not Justified by the severity of ache or pain crying for relief. In any circumstance, if ten grains of aspirin falls to give any relief to the ache or pain, It U unwise to take a large dose. A single dose or only five grains should be tried at first, and if this affords no relief, a second dose of ten grains may be taken after two hours, not sooner. The less as pirin In any case the better. For a child the doso should be according: to weight If the child weighs one half as much as an adult (average adult weight 100 pounds), the dose of aspirin for the child should be 3 '4 to 0 grains. It la my belief that aspirin la not a cure or even a remedy for any ailment or disease In a specific aense It Is merc-ly a pain-killer. At that. It Is justifiably used as a paln-klller only when proper medical advice or treatment Is not available. Person ally, I'd hesitate to take a dose of aspirin to relieve ache or pain and then, getting the analgesic effect, go Man About Manhattan By GROROE TUCKER By OEOROB TUCKER NEW YORK Personal notes off a New Yorker's cuff: Thornton Wilder thinks the world's two loveliest cities are Vienna and Chicago, In that order.

I think. Anyone who finds it necessary to resort to a doe of aspirin should remain at rest, pref erably lying down,, for at least two hours after the done la taken, aa a precaution against untoward effect on the heart. In regard to the still more dan geroua analgesics (acetanll.de, phena cetln, antlpyrln and the like) present In so many nostrums purporting to cure "cold," grip, flu, neuralgia, neu. rltls, headache, rheumatism, even fa tigue and "nervous exhaustion" and "brain fag," it Is a callous public conscience that permits the Indis criminate sale and use of such dopo to the child-minded public. Cer tainly no such medicine should be kept In the family medicine cup board. ' QL'RSTIONS AND ANSWERS Vitamins and Sulfur. -What vitamins does sulfur contain? How much sulfur must one take to get the required amount of vitamins? (Mis D. E. B.) Answer Sulfur contains no vita mins. Some vitamins may contain sulfur. Probably sulfur la essential for the full action of vitamin B in the body. Foods rich In sulfur are wheat, beans, peas, eggs, cheese, oat meal, watercress, horse radish, mus tard, flaxseed. Throwback, If you know a reference for your statement that a black child is nevor born to white parents, one of whom has a trace of negro blood, please give me the source. (H. A. H.) Answer I know of no such auth ority. It Just does not happen ex cept In legend and whisper gossip and third-hand tales. The offspring of such parents will never be more negroid In color or feature than the parent having the traoe of Neirro blood. Metals In Mouth. Planning to have six teeth filled. Will silver fillings cause a bad taste or sore mouth? (P. F.) Answer No. Sometimes when two different metals are used for filllnga or other dentures say sliver or amalgam and gold a mlnature galvanic battery action Is set up and aisngreeaoie metallic taste and perhaps obstinate sores In the mouth will occur. This can be remedied only by removing the inferior metnl or having only one metal used for all dental work. (Copyright. 1938, John F. Dllle Co.)

M. Robert, Jr. The idea of providing Junior chap ter memberships to attract young women beyond the C. A. R. age limit adopted by the society with some misgiving. Is working out very well here. These younger members seem to be taking over purely fund-raising and entertainment activities, leaving the time-honored pstriotlc programs In the hands of the more experienced members.
