Washington of Wyoming has To Control 6rs mechanism to control and regulate some of the principal activities of business corporations. It is a far reaching proposition, as it now stands, and it cannot be passed off lightly. There is support for it m a number of quarters. While It undoubtedly will not become law in its present form, it must be regarded as the opening wedge. The Wyoming senators principal idea is to require businesses of an incorporated character to take out a federal license. If they do not comply, the proposed law would deny them the right to ship goods into retail trade between stales. While the mam theme of the proposition does not seem an thing about which one should get excited, it is the things that can be done behind such a general requirement that must and will be examined by congress and the country before it takes a step of the kind advocated by Senator O'Mahoney For example, if the federal government is peimitted to require businesses to obtain a license or charter from Washington, those businesses may be compelled to meet all manner of requirements before such a license or charter is granted. In the reverse, if after they have the license, they fail to observe the provisions laid down either by congress or bald headed bureaucrats, revocation of the license is the penalty that may be exacted. It should be added that exaction of a penalty of this kind, once the license provision is established as a federal government right, becomes a powerful weapon and the limit to which that power may be exercised is scarcely to be forecast. While, as I said, the O Mahoney legislation may not be expected to become law in its present form, its terms and provisions give a hint of what can be expected of any legislation cf a similar character Take this provision, for example Rates of pay shill be increased and houis of work shall be reduced the in accordance with guns productive efficiency of the industry, arising fiom inerca d mcclnn lation, improvements in technological methods, or from other causes, to the end that employees shall have an equitable participation in the output of industry, and that employment and mass purchasing power may keep pace with industry. i4ow, while modern science does not agree with Heraclitus theory as to what matter is made of, it does agree with him concerning the omnipresence of change. It has, in " ids- ; fact, gone much farther than Heraclitus ever could in studying the occurrence of very slow changes of View showing the progress made on the Grand Coulee dam project in Washington.

The eternal motion with which all atoms are endowed is the cause of w eUi4f V all such kinds of diffusion. And this motion is identified by scientists with heat.

OF Butterflys Trunk It seems quite obvious that under such a basic statement of principles, a business Dictatorial could easily be made to agree to Powers collective bargaining among its employees, to establish minimum wages and to follow the dictates of some bureau or commission in Washington in actual management and promulgation of policies. Indeed, it is set forth in the O'Mahoney draft that the federal trade commission would be authorized to obtain all relevant and detailed data as to production costs, prices and profits. As I see this sort of thing and from the views of experts with whom I have consulted, I cannot escape the conclusion that such legislation simply extends to the federal government dictatorial powers over virtually all private business. It means, moieover, that politics and politicians would be the guiding force and that if union labor leaders were in control of the agency having supervisory powers over business or if communists or conservatives or any other class "were in control, business would be directed in accordance with the economic views of that school of thought. Since our nation frequently hands the responsibility of government control from one political party to the other, the Implications of such legislation as this are tremendous, to say the least. Constitutional questions enter into this legislation and it may be that the basic theory advanced by the Wyoming senator will not hold at all. As I understand It, Senator OMahoney is holding no pride of authorship as to the language of his bill but to the principles he strorgly adheres. So, it is made to appear at least, as 1 said above, that this proposal constitutes an entering wedge on on entirely new theory of government's relation to private business. For that reason, It Is one of the most significant propositions to come forward in recent years, more significant, I believe, than the ill fated NRA.

J It is Immensely interesting but' not significant in an international way that the State departments order concerning international mar-- , riages should have been promul-- ! gated during the heat of the British constitutional crisis over King detprmination to marry the American - born Wallis Warfield Simpson. It simply happened to come along at the same time, but sn.ee all the world loves a lover, in Washington one hears reference affair mento the Simpson-Edwar- d tioned many times in the same breath with the State department dttiee. This obtains because nearly all of our foieign service people have relations or friends in the national capital ana the decree for-- j bidding international marriages set1 many tongues to wagging But the State department ruling ought to be treated with utmost senousness and sincerity It is important. It is necessary to stretch the imagination a gitat way m order to assume that International marriages of the type banned by the State department would shake an empire after the manner of international marriages among royalty On the other hand, it seems In-to me to be quite fair to say that ternational marriages among official representatives of a nation can very easily prove embarrassing to the government by which the foreign service officer receives credentials In fact, there aie instances on record where such marriages have pioved to be serious obstacles m the settlement of disputes between governments. Then, It must be considered that theie is a genuine possibility of war in Europe in tha next few years d A tremendous tragedy is being there. While obviously any guv ernmental decision that has the effect of keeping lovers apart amuses antagonism, a sympathetic fc . ling among all w ith tender hearts in this circumstance, the rule seems v.ell justified. In addition to following the lead of other nations on the point, our State department has bam ed these international marriages largely in older to keep our natiun fiee from any possible entanglements in event of that European tragedy that looms like red fire on the horizon of the future. Mai riages heretofore contracted, of coin e, will not be disturbed by the new ban, but elimination of that source of potential difficulty for the future is regarded as likely to be valuable. I have heard criticism of the State departments order on the ground that affairs of the heart are private affairs which indeed they are But It must be remembered that where an individual accepts the rights, prerogatives and privileges of official position, he accepts at th" same time certain definite responsibilities. In the case of a foreign service officer, his acceptance of the government title makes him at once and the same time a part of that government in a most peculiar way. Because foreigners do not understand our government any better than we understand foreign governments, when an American foreign service officer speaks, ha speaks actually as the American government. One need not amplify this further than to say, therefore, one of that official's responsibilities is to carry out policy. National policy can be arranged only at Its proper sources, namely, the President and the department of State. So, while budding romances may be blighted, heartaches may arise, soft lights In the eyes of men and maidens may be dimmed by tho cruel and cold words of official regulations, it needs must be said that the welfare of a great nation must supersede the personal desires of a lonely man for a mate. Thus, where any of our American diplomats or consular officers hereafter feel they cannot tread lifes! highway without the accompaniment of a foreign born princess of their dreams, they simply will have to resign from their jobs and bring the lady home. pre-p.ut- O Western Newspaper Union.

It was said that wearers of this stone had beautiful skins free from blotches nd sores Certain Hindus believe that it will stop bleeding from the nose. For this they hold it between the eyes. The Turks and Greeks of the Middle ages believed that it protected a man from sorcery and the undue fascination of an unscrupulous woman. It has been used for many years by the Orientals as a charm against the evil eye. The belief once existed in Khurdistan that wearers of this stone became invisible in battle.
