Washington, Dec. 28. — Nothing is
giving tbe administration more con
cern than the problem of what to do
about unemployment ^nd the relief of
the unemployed. With busincse in
mdst lines almost back'^^ the pre-
depression level there are still, ac
cording to government estimates,
about 8,600,000 persons, without jobs.
Of these, the WPA is taking care of
about 2,400,000.
There are also nearly nine million
persons, jcounting all of th?e families
of the unemployed, who Sire receiving
direct relief from state and local
sources. Much of this money comes
out of the federal treasury.
The federal government is spendirig
above 165 million dollars a month on
WPA wages alone. The problem is,
how can thi.s burden of relief expen
ditures be continued if at the same
time federal expenditures in general
are to be reduced?
Two Relief Views
There is a decided conflict of opin
ion as to what ought to be done. On
the one" hand is the group of relief
workers, headed by Harry- L. Hop
kins, WPA administrator, which holds
that relief should be regarded as a
permanent policy of the federal gov
ernment. These'foik believe that there
is no likelihood that business and in
dustry will ever absorb all the na
tion’s employable citizens, especially
since about 609,000 young persons
reach the working age every year,
adding to the available labor supply.
On the other hand there is a large
group >vhich believes the time has
come to turn the problem back to the
states and their local governments, j
This view has important support. Mr. |.
Roosevelt is, therefore, under pres
sure from two .sides, each urging up
on him a policy diametrically opposed
to that of the other..
There are complications, political
and otherwise, in the way of either
cqurse. A strong lobby has deveIope<l,
composed of governors of states and
majrbrs of miinicipalities,. Whio.caT6
united in opposing any withdrawal of
the federal government from the're
lief situation. They do not want the
responsibility of putting the burden
upon their local taxpayers.
Another complication ia the atti
tude of many members of congreu,
who have found the political patron
age of the federal reHef organization
useful to themselves. Ind^, there is
a feeling in Washington that congress
may block any attempt on the part of
the adipinistration to curtail relief ex
penditures, and insist upon approflni-
ating more money than the president
asks for.
The'situation holds the possibility
of a row between president and con
gress, if the president does, as many
believe he will, accept the view of
those who think it is time to call a
halt on federal relief.
National Defense Thought
There is no doubt whatever that of
ficial Washington is “jittery” on the
subject of war. Although there doe.s
not appear to be a war cloud on our
national horizon one hears men in
high places emphasizing the necessity
of strengthening our defenses on land
and sea and in the air.
What gives officials here the jit
ters, seemingly, is the belief that a
general European war is impending
and that this time the victor will be
a nation or Combination. of. nations
which have no love for the United
States and who will look with covet
ous eyes upon the opportunity for ter
ritorial accessions and colonization of
surplus populations which the as yet
unoccupied parts of North and South
America offer.
Thera may have been more than a
good-will gestura in President Roose-
veK’a trip to South America. Back of
it might have ^ been the feeling that
the two Americas needed to stand to
gether against poseibk raggrassion
from Europe or Asia. If sucfT a situ
ation should ever develop it/is likely
the United Stat^ would have^ to bear
the larger share of thh burden when
it came to resisting attacks from
overseas. ^
Something of that thought may lie
behin^ the request of Harry Wood-
ring^jB^retary of war, for authority
to recriiit the U. S. regular army at
once up to its full legal strength of
165,000 enlisted men by January 30,
1937, "
Secretary 'Woodring also proposes
to increase the national guard from
189,000 to 210,000, to call 30,000 re
serve officers to -active duty for two
week»~each year instead of the. pres
ent 20,000, to enlarge the capacity of
the citizens military'training camps,
enlist about 160,00(7 “specialists” in
the army reserve corps, and to rush
to completion the army’s program of
2,320 fighting airplanes.
Mr. Woodting does not say that he
expects a wa^, but he wants to be
ready to fight [if necessary.

New Year
Cavalier.
by Helen
Galsford
^ Waterman
•fs
F enton DUMONT was bored
with the party. All right wel
coming in the New Year so
.smugly for people like these—but
he was an adventurer, a cavalier,
and the formal drawing room, the~
lovely ladies so ready to smile upon
him, the classical music, the slow,
pompous talk of the men suffocated
him. He stepped to the balcony*.
It had stopped snowing. In an
other hour the year would be dead.
A grand year. But another would
be beginning. He slipped over the
balustrade,'wburrd his..leg around a
'pillar, and slid down to meet it.
To the east, far away, the year
was already new, and so he set
off in that direction.
He was almost half way across
the bridge before he noticed - the
girl, but then he strode quickly to
her side. “Please don’t,’’ he said
gehtly*^ She started. “Lihould only
have to jump in after you, and
can’t you imagine how cold I’d
be?’’ he ended, and shivered with
clown-like intensity. “J might even
catch my death,*’ he continued
lightly, but...the girl looked back to
the river, and he realist his er
ror. “You may waht to die,’’ he
said earnestly, “but I don’t.
Please!*’
“Then leave mt be,’’ she an
swered. Her voice was soft, mu
sical, but passionately desperate.
He gather.ed her in his arms and
kissed her. She struggled fiercely.
He kissed her egein, and again,
pinning her arms to iier sides with
V Will To Live Is Iraportai^
Among the men whose friendship I
Enjoyed was the late C. W. Barron,
owner of the Wall Str^ Journal.
He told me two stories. The first
was about a man who accumulated a
large fortune,~huilt a house on Fifth
avenue, put his feet bn the window
sill, and aaid: “Now, I am going to
enjoy myself.” But he was like a
lARtch spring which has been wound
up tight for a long time, and, being
suddenly i released, snaps in pieces.
.After only a few months of 'dleness
he died.
The second story had been told to
Barron by a noted surgeon. A woman,
taken to the hospital for a slight
operation, died almost before the an
esthetic war applied. The surgeon
could not understand it. Gn looking
into her history, he discovered that
from_Jtl)e minute the operation was
(iecided upon she had begun td pre
pare for the worst. The surgeon said:
“That taught me a lesson. I shall
never again operate until I find out
what preparation.^ the ' patient has
made. If any person cares so little
about holding on to life that he makes
all preparations to let go, then some
other surgeon.caij have the job.”*
Barron said that by the degree of
thei^ courage and fajth nni^ them
selves determine how long they will
live.
I believe that is true—that those
live who want to live; that when in
terest ceases, the heart stops. None
of us can escape the process pf de
cay, but there are many things I want
to learn, so many places I want to
see, that I hope to fool the old heart
and kidneys, for quite a while. And so,
I tru.st, will you.
Court Not the Haters
A group of people had lisfened to
x candidate's radio .speech and, after
it wa.s over, there was a good deal of
criticism. I noticed that one intelli
gent woman took no part in the con
versation, and when I asked her why,
she said: “The older I grow the more
I hate haters.”
It’s a remark to set one thinking,
Dowp through the ages hate has
dragged its bloody trail across the
heart of this good earth. Hate hurled!
nations at each other’s throats in
war; hate kindled the fires of perse-
cution. Hate forced the hemlock to
the Tips of Socrates, and raised in
Jerusalem the savage shouts of
“Crucify.”
One might say truthfully that a
very good measure of the hiei(H4eal
worth of a man or imtitotioniv “Did
he or it add to or cubti^t from tflie
sum total of human hate?”
Napoleon does not stand the test.

Adheaknu Sonetimes Very Real
Many of my lady patients have had,
at one time or another, an operation
for disease within the abdominal cav
ity. Removid of turnon, diseased
ovariee or appendices — these oper
ations invT^ve exploration within the
body, and, frequently leave after the
most skilled surgery—adhesions.
“Have I adhesions?” The question
has beeiw asked of me many times.
Well, if your bodily functions are
performed naturally, you meed not
worry. Gonstipatkm after an oper
ation for appendicitis does not neces
sarily mean that the bowel ia bound
down by an adhesion. An adhesion is
the growing together of stmctims in
the abdomen,. tbjKt should not^grow
together. I have seen many cases of
“adhesion” from the rupture — and
later recovery—of an abscess of the
tube or ovary that ran its course
without operationi.
Bowel walls and peritoneal surface
grow t<^ether very quickly under cer
tain contacts by sutures or forced
preksure. “Where a very marked
