Having knowledge of the the fexact situation surely should be of i WcomP-befor- e some help.

The board said the government should encourage an air "p industry in the United States topro-FRvid-e an adequate resource for the Punation. If that is done, the report l papolnted out, there is a reserve s. Be strength developed that provides pun for revenue in peace and strength mzzle in war. t t0 i I have little confidence that congress is going to pay much attention to the Baker boards conclu sions. It seldom has paid any attenhnras tion to such expert advice. Presl-j- . Pro dent Roosevelt asked the board to to the bottonl of the problem, Can g0 however, and it has done so. At y least the country is informed, and If its representatives In the house or the senate do not perform in a way that will correct the condition, then we all will know where to place the blame. For example, the report proposes be adequate and continuing appropriations for expansion of the air service of the army. In that recommendation the board struck a key note. It said continuing appropriations were necessary, and anyone can see such a view is correct because otherwise a big sum Is appropriated one year and wasted work results when the brothers who hold the purse strings say In the next year that they are not going to allow any more such expenditures. It Is exactly as though one LAV started to build a house and after don i the walls were up, the money ran gh i out and no roof could be put on. The remains Incomplete, no mnoti structure Hon g00(5 to anyone. This question of appropriations age, aratt has been the bone of contention all along. I do not mean to say that the brains of the War department always have been capable of guid-ing the program effectively, but If congress had pursued a sound policy F A' that at least was consistent, I am 1th t assured by many competent authorities the army air service would not 11 13 ft! be where today. ,TS ' The Baker board, like most of its predecessors, declined to support the much agitated proposal for an air service detached from the army tS and navy. Only one member of the board, James Doolittle, the well id known flyer, held that view. The jo board as a whole thought the air .. f service ought to be an Integral part TV of the military or naval branches of the service, and there Is every evidence that this Is one section of the Hi .recommendation that will be accept-Bip- l e(t by congress without argument. that there I L hw Mother Nature has her own way of working things out nnd in her functions appar- 00 Mother Nature entiy she does TT Needs No Hetpmt no,d r the aid of pro- y ! fessional theorists. Thecurrent proof in of tills is the drouth and the effect it is having on the agricultural adjust ,US AY! merit program. Ihere is very so-1 rious consideration being given to suspension of the scheme for cursor tailing production. Secretary lace and Chester Davis, the ngri-yocultural administrator, are worried ) for over the prospects although they It Is ,pei naturally are saying little. known, tiowever, that one of the tliinas they are thinking about Is i abandonment of the contracts for curt diinent of crops because the Wal-vel- u extreme drouth has made the reduction plans unworkable 'and even dangerous to the country's food stocks. So it begins to appear that there will have to be revision of the agricultural program upon which the administration has worked so desperately and upon which it has expended so much money. The Agricultural department Is authority for the statement that the drouth already has removed any probability of a wheat surplus. To this shortage has been added unfavorable conditions abroad that have resulted In a general world total of wheat probably as much as 400,000,000 bushels below what is held to be an average yield. This is happening just when many of the nations of the world were approaching the point of a binding agreement that would hold down the quantity of wheat entering Into export trade and thereby force crop reduction. But the tell me the movement for an international agreement naturally is going to die. There being no dire necessity for It, the Interest behind It will lag. I suppose there will be few, If any, further moves made on it until years of bumper crops again are upon us and a gigantic surplus of world wheat stares farmers In the face. That is usually the case. It likely will be some W'eeks before the Agricultural department can formulate a definite course of action as to revision of the crop reduction plans. wheat-growin- g President Roosevelts return is eagerly awaited among some of the brain trust who Brain Trusts are variously re-Little War fored In 'Yash' ington as desiring the Chief Executive to intervene in their own little war. There are a number of minor disputes taking shape among the professors and the young liberals, and I am Informed in what I believe to be authentic quarters that agents are fomenting more trouble among the group that has served as such Important advisers to the President during his term. Obviously, none will admit it, but there is every reason to believe that some keen Individuals who are not In sympathy with the New Deal are spreading poison among the brain trusters about each other. The natural result of this, of course, Is to cause the young liberals to be suspicious of each other and that kind of suspicion nearly always Is followed by an open break. The stories In current circulation in Washington are that some of the brain trusters are at outs with Raymond Moley, for a time the No. 1 brain trust man with the President but now the editor of a magazine, and that several of those still in the administration are saying unkind things about others who still are serving here. It Is a situation not without its humorous side, and from having seen such factions develop before in the government, I Imagine this one will turn out to be a real comedy. The economic events of the last few weeks indicate to some Washington observers See New Crisis that a new crisis 13 approaching in Nearine the depression. August is always a dull month. September is little better from a business standpoint After that things usually pick up. To get through the next six weeks with drouth devastating millions of acres and strikes and riots and military rule and uncertainties among business Interests as to what the New Deal of the future holds, there necessarily must be a steady hand and calm Judgment. On top of this, of course, Is the disturbed international situation, and It is not helping the weary old world to settle down. Since the kind of government management of business that we have had has not taken us out of the depression, the course immediately becomes problematical. Shall we have more of the same, or expand It beyond Its present scope, or shall we retrace our steps and go back to the old days? In the midst of this tuibulent condition, the sumy head of inflation of the currency again Is arising. Strangely enough, there are many men now talking about Inflation seriously when all of their knowledge nnd all of their training ordinarily would make of them the bitterest of antagonists to such a course on the part of the federal government. Some of them have been in Washington in recent weeks nnd I gathered from the ar-- J guments they advanced that they sincerely believed inflation would do pood for the country as a whole, nnd for themselves iu particular. This is the sad pnit of it: they seem to think that they can pay off their debts and the average person can pay off his debts easier with an inflated currency, and, therefore, they want to turn the piinting presses loose.

Ideas for Up-to-Da- te RHEUMATIC PAIRS L Fitch Explains why Natural Mineral Water Often Helpful In Chronic Ailments Dr. W. Mrs. II. Williams, 15 Frinceton Street, Chiton, New Jersey, writes: I suffered very badly with rheumatism but after taking Crazy Water Crystals I am a different person. 1 hey are wonderful. I would not be without them, they did me so much good. Why is it that a fine natural mineral water, made at home from Crazy Water Crystals has benthted so many thousands suffering from rheumatic pains and oilier chronic ailments? Dr. W. E. ritch, noted medical authority on mineral water, in a recent radio talk over the National Broadcasting System stated: 1 or many years, it has been a mystery even to the medical world just how natural mineral waters produced the amazing results that have made them so popular. Scientific and medical discoveries and research in the last few years, however, are penetrating these secrets of Nature, so that now medical men have a new understanding of the reasons for the power of natural mineral water to relieve suffering. One of these reasons is what is known as secondary mineralization, by which is meant that not only the predominating chemical constituents of a mineral water are of aid but also what are known as the secondary minerals those present in infinitesimal quantities, lhe very fact of their being present in this way causes them to have a much more powerful systemic effect than if they were there in larger quantities. Let me recommend wholeheartedly to sufferers from chronic diseases the use of a suit aide natural mineral water as a powerful adjuvant. WNU Sen Ice.
