Show This Week by Artliur Brisfaiir Supreme Court Says "Yes". Faces, Not Legs Profits Second F. D. R. Mother-in-Law's Day The Supreme court, five to four, decio.es that the New Deal is a good deal, and the old law of supply and demand, the sacred right of the dividual -to do what he chooses with his own," are not as important as they used to be. Specifically, the Supreme court sustaining New York state's law to control milk and milk prices, says a state may fix prices by law, and the citizens must submit. This decision, de-cision, taking from individuals and giving to the state the right tor un business, was handed down just as President Roosevelt, broadcasting, was urging national support of the new plan. In the long run congress, and even the mighty supreme court, go as the people go. The Supreme court once declared for slavery, ordering the abolitionist protector of a runaway slave to return him to his owner. It decided against the income tax, and a Constitutional amendment was necessary to overcome that. C. L. Theed, justice of the peace in Coconut Grove, announces a new beauty contest in honor of the "legions" "le-gions" gathering in Florida. Young ladies in the contest will be fully clothed; judged by theirf aces, not by their legs, a blessed relief. If bullfrogs on frcg farms in Louisiana had a beauty contest, only on-ly the legs would count, legs being iall of the frog that counts. You don't care about the frog's expression expres-sion or intellect, and only ask for fat thighs. Something more is asked of a young woman, destined, presumably, to become a mother, and her brain is the important thing, since, according ac-cording to Huxley, itp uts her above a savage bushman as far as the latter lat-ter is above a blade ofg rass. Well-shaped legs and a simpering face do not make a beautiful woman. In any beauty contest the forehead should count 60, eyes 20, mouth and figure each 10 per cent. Speaking from Constitution hall in Washington, the President told 4,000 code delegates, and the whole nation, about his first year's work, emphasizing his conviction that humanity hu-manity is more important than profits, pro-fits, one year has made him familiar fa-miliar with intense popularity, and the bursts of applause do not surprise sur-prise him. The President read a message congratulation from the head of the American Bankers' association assuring as-suring him that banks are in absolutely abso-lutely sound condition and heartily approve the President's financial policies, pol-icies, also indicating that "super-liquidity" "super-liquidity" no longer seems so Important Im-portant to banks, and lending in the old way. will soon begin again. - Amarillo, Texas, celebrated "Mo-ther-in-Law's day."

If you worry about an occasional airplane accident, and ever feel ij. clined to doubt the ultimate, absoi lute conquest of the air and of wea-ther wea-ther conditions, stop thinking about a few rare accidents, and consider what progress flying has made with, in a few years.
