E, A, | ; M————————"—-‘—_——-— Quick, Watson, A Gag By RODNEY DUTCHER Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent, WASHINGTON.—That hush-hush policy whjch has been cropping out here and there in the admin istration worries sorie of the New Deal's warmest friends. Censorship, suppression, gag rule—officials suffer ing from “jitters” resort to them just when the ad ministration comes under fire and many of its poli cies are questioned. Calmer officials, more philosophic, think it's tool bad. Some regard it as significant of weakness. Irritation over “leaks” has been evident in thel emergency agencies for many weeks, especially in the NRA, Agricultural Adjustment Administration, and Public Works Administration. Secretary Ickesl and Solicitor Margold of the Interior - department imposed a gag rule to prevent subordinate omcialsl from talking to newspapermen. The order was re »*acinded after vigorous protest, ¢ l President Roosevelt and Secretary of Labor Fran eces Perkins began to play up pleasant figures and play down disagreeable ones. An order went out . restricting the interpretation of statisties to the ‘ngw Central Statistical Board, threatening the use fulness of dozens of government publications, © Pirst result came sensationally when the Ilederal Reserve Board abandoned its monthly anaiysis of business and financial conditions. . Then Acting Secretary of the Treasury Henry ‘Morgenthau, jr, ordered treasury officials to give ‘no information to newspapermen. News, views, and ‘interpretations must come from him or his publicity ‘agent. He denies, however, that this is censorship. + A of which appears to have Mr. Roosevelt’s ap «proval. No one knows how far it's going to go. .n SR i _ This has been the “leakiest” administration any ‘one remembers. That's the reason behind the irri “tation and censorship and also the reason why cen _sorship won't work. . : The New Deal lineup is full of communicative +liberals and objective, non-political experts, who "don't mind talking frankly to their friends—includ “ing correspondents. ’ ! * Many of them were hollering against fact sup spression during the Hoover administration. It will "be hard to bottle them up. . Government agencies have their own publicity ‘men working directly under department or admin ‘istration heads. But correspondents get much of _their news unofficially, from gents who don't want “to be quoted. 4 " Y The pleasant -atmosphere of almost complete ‘frankness which characterized the whole adminis ‘tration—except the Department of Justice— in its : first few months, is disappearing. ' " The reasons are understandable. Plenty of unfair _propaganda has been direécted lately at the admin istration. Dissension in the administration quickly has become public property. _.Unpalatable facts came to the surface. And the White House itself was irritated when treasury and Federal Reserve officials allowed it to become known “that they weré\good and sour on the new gold -policy. 3 - Undersecrefary Dean Acheson’s retirement was ‘one result of the irritation. | Roosevelt and members of his official family still Jare amiable and relatively frank at press conferen «ces. But the more effective censorship becomes, the ‘less likely are correspondents to have information “inspiring questions, the answers to which might be _disagreeable, : AVOID A SECOND CUP g By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN _ Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, . and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. . * You may have a cup of coffee or, if you wish, a second highball, late at night, without fear of hav ing a restless night as a result. But don't drink too much coffee if you want to sleep, although you can g 0 almost the limit in a cocktail paity without wor rving about your rest later. . This unusual advice is the result of tests made =recently amorg students of the University of Chi ‘cago. It is realized, generally, that sleep is controlled by habit in most instances, and that some people can take more alcohol and more caffein than others without feeling any ill effects. : As far back as 1883, two European physiologists found that, following long walks and the taking of small doses of alcohol, the soundness of sleep was less than when no exercise or alcoholic drink had - been taken. However, they found that sleep was much sounder following large doses of alcohol without the walk. - The Chicago investigators studied the effects of aleohol and coffee on eight young men, using an apparatus for registering their movements while asleep, and kept a record of the number of times each wakened during the night. " They found that large doses of cafrein taken be fore going to sleep greatly increased the number of movements during the first half of the night, obvi ously because the person who had taken the caffein was unable to fall asleep. They report that the frequency with which one wakes up during the night after taking these drugs ‘is modified by the amoynt; alcohol decreases the number of times one awakens, anl four or six-grain Coses of caffein increase activity of the sleeper. The investgiators also measured the effects of the drugs on the temperature of each sleeper. They found that alceheol always resulted in a normal tem perature during the first half of the night and an inerease in temperature during the second half. Large doses of caffein give a higher temperature than normal during the might's sleep, whereas two grains of caffein, the amount in a large cup of cof fee, produce only a slight variation. These stories show, also, that lying stlll for a considerable length of time leads to an unpleasant feeling, which is relieved by moving about. '()ne young man, whe insisted he could sleep wwithout stirring by fixing his mind on that idea “before going to sleep, slept with relatively little movement. But he gave up the experiment, because .he Was too tired and groggy after his night's sleep. ~al;1:)?;:‘01t‘0::(llus.iuf1 frko_m these investigations is that bk fleel :\;e: l,es:\,emtdv movements and makes a doses of Ciiﬁ’@;:\ 1}:‘1 I\LL\ ‘.Sh‘m ÜBSIGT, “SRER S doses do not smz‘ u(‘.. disturbed sieep, and small see to affect the sleep of normal . persons, ¢ There are more than 7.000 ospitals, wi 3 > : 1,000,000 beds; in the United St}i:t’e.l\".l pdnh .. - =k ——ei s Mankind has 32 “permanent” teeth. & R = Ome expert says that the feet and ankles of Am- Seerican women are growing larger as the result of :m,’n combination of athletics and high-heeled shoes. ~ January was named for the Roman god, Janus. «He was god of the day and the beginning of the year, and was pictured with a head that looked ‘two ways. [ CONDEMNING LYNCHING Before adjournment of the Georgia Baptist Convention, in Augusta, last week, la number of timely resolutions were read ’and adopted. Chief among the resolu tions, condemning vice, crime and modern |day social practices, a resolution bearing ‘on lynchings was timely and appropriate for the occasion. While the number of lynchings committed this year has not shown any material increase over the ‘number for last year, yet cognizance of ithe crime by an organization of the influ ‘ence of the Georgia Baptist delegates, is ‘bound to have an influence for checking tand reducing the number of such outrages. The resolution as adopted by that con !wntion, reads: ~ “Our courts are able to mete out swift punishment for criminals and the Jlaw should be allowed to take its course.” “Lynching is a barbarous crime and the lawless and murderons tendency to thus take the law into one’s own hands should be vigilantly opposed by all law-abiding citizens. And every perpetrator in the crime of lynching should be apprehended and brought to trial.” | If all the church denominations and civic organizations would follow up the lead of the Baptist of Georgia, the evil would soon be eradicated. While crimes that cause Ilynching are of the henious type; crimes that stir the very soul of men into action, yet the law should be pre served and the guilty given a trial and on conviction, the extreme penalty should be impnosed by the courts. Not until the law is enforced and the courts moved up to speedy trials will the erime of lynchingsl be entirely wiped out. The dilly-dallying court procedure in Alabama in the trial ofi the Scottboro negroes was responsible, in a great measure if not entirely, for thel lynchings that have oceurred in that state during the past few months. LIVESTOCK ON THE HIGHWAYS While the people of this section of the state are protected from rambling live stock, yet thousands of them travel throughout south Georgia on business or on their way to Florida. In that section of the state, the people do not have stock laws, but the livestock are allowed to run wild on the highways and on farm prop erties. The fence or no-fence agitation in this section created much interest and feeling in this section of Georgia. Finally the “no-fence” advocates won out and the law requiring the owners of livestock to keep them up became effective. Since that time, the farmers have built fences around pasture lands and t};ie appearance of a cow, hog, mule or horse on the highways is a rare occurrence,. | In speaking of the danger and the many ‘accidents that have occurred to motorists from running over livestock, the Tifton’ \Gazette, comments as follows: | “The tourists are coming South new and reports of fatal accidents are beeoniing lfrequent in the newspapers. It would be intersting to know how many motorists have been killed .from hitting livestock or trying to miss livestock on the highways. Accidents of this nature are frequent in. the eastern part of the state, where there. lis no stock law. I® would seem tha* either ithe Highway Department will have to fence the highways, or the livesiock own ers keep up their stock. Did you ever no tice how frequently fatal accidents are caused by livestock? Watch the papers !for the next few months and take nete of ‘accidents from this cause.” | Motorists from this section of the state ‘should take warning from the foregoing |appearing in the Tifton newspaper and ex ercise every care when traveling in those sections of the state where livestock is al lowed to run wild-—on the highways as well as in the woods, swamps, improved land and wherever they please to roam. 1 L | DISCRIMINATING AGAINST WOMEN I In an address delivered by Mrs. Frank lin D. Roosevelt, wife of the President, be ‘fore‘ the New York Junior League, last week, Mrs. Roosevelt took oeccasion to |state in plain terms that the government ‘\\'as diseriminating against the women. IFor some time, the National Woman’s ‘Party has been active in its efforts to se lcure a fairer representation of the rights lof women under the various codes, alleg ling that all of the codes contain discrimi lnating restrictions relating to the interest lof women workers. In the course of her remarks before the !Junior Lerrue, Mrs. Roosevelt, said: The Government is to blame for much too little information on the ‘“buy now” campaign. It has been tremendously un fair to women in a way because most of the reemployment relief measures havé been directed toward the men. Times | were never worse for women—we have | concentrated so much on families and men lv-but women have complained much less |and been pretty meek. { It is charged by these women that seven |of the codes of the eight relating to wages offer unequal pay for equal work and one ‘prohibits women from might work. Of the |sixty-eight codes every one of them con itain discrimination to the women. A con | dition that should not exist, and we be |lieve that when these unjust codes are !called to the attention of President Roose jvelt, he will see that all diseriminating |features will be eliminated. | Locusts did almost two million dollars’ worth of damage in Kenya Colony, East Africa, alone in 1931; thousands of dol ilars are being offered for eradication ‘methods. Gibbons are quite expert at walking in an upright position, and often clasp their 'hands behind their heads and point their lelbows outward.

'good jjoke, and it is on-a news paperman, Qoo, but newspaper men ‘are ‘not immune to being ¢ made the subject of discussion for good or for evil. % .. However, the story or joke, as one, may please to classify it, ac cording to Harold’s version, was told by him _as follows: “There was a newspaperman, who lived in a small town @nd published a weekly newspaper. He was @ quiet and unassuming man, hard working and attentive to his bus iness, honest and upright, he held the respect and confidence of the entire citizenship of the commun ity. In later life, he becamein degendgnl, but his geod fortune did not swell his pride, but. he kept on ig, the ewen tener of his way, . publishing his newspaper with as much regularity as he did when he was in straightened eir cumstances. : In some way, it leaked out that the town’s editor had made a fortune publishing a weekly newspaper and many of his friends called on him to offer congratulations. One in particular, who possess ed a great deal of curiosity, in quired of his newspaper friend as to just how he had made and saved so much money from pub lishing a weekly newspaper. The editor in his kindly way of treat. ing everyone with whom he came in contact, said: “Well. I will tell you just how it all came about, I worked night and day for fifty years, struggling along on half ra tions and sometimes less, but I al ‘ways made it a point to put aside a small sum weekly until T had saved fifteen hundred dollars. Then an unecle of mine died and left me $98,500, and that is the way I got the hundred thousand dollars”. There are few newspaper men, who have met with such good luck as the one Mr. Hin ton tells the joke about, We know some of the boys in Georgia, who have been in the business for a half century and have not accumulated enough to pay tax on a theater ticket. Few newspapermen become wealthy from their incomes or re ceipts from editing and publishing newspapers., It is a fascinating work or profession. but it is a daily grind year in and year out, and sOmetimes it grows monoti mous for those who have to study up subject mat:er for editorial dis cussion. For one week or one month, it is not so taxing, but to grind out something worth while every day in the year, well, that is something else. One is bound to grow stale, if not shop worn. Mrs. J. H. Madden has leased the Coffee shop and Terrace shop of the Georgian hotel from Mr. L. W. Nelson, président of the Georgian Hotel Company. Mrs. Madden is from Greenvillé, S. C, and is experienced in the hotel business., The Terrace shop is a new addition to the dining fa cilities at the Georgian, it being established only recently. The Shops are being renovidated and un der the new management many‘ improvements will be made in both service and cuisine.
