Potatoes for Salad
Some housewives always peel po¬
tatoes before cooking them, no mat
ter for what purpose they are pre¬
paring them. You will find It much
better to cook them In their jackets
and peel them afterward when you
are to use them for potato salad.
They are easier to peel and retain
more nourishment, and tills proce¬
dure saves time.

Human “Leather” Used
to Bind French Book
A book bound in skin taken from
the shoulders of a woman is to be
presented to the French National
library. Years ago, when the lute
Camille Flammarlon, the astron¬
omer, was a youth, he danced with
the lady of the shoulders. And as
he danced he whispered fluttering
comments on their whiteness and
loveliness. Months later Flarnmarion
received a copy of the lady’s will
and a note from her doctor advising
him of her death. Then came a
package containing the skin. The
doctor, in accordance with her will,
had removed the skin from her shoul¬
ders. It was tanned and treated,
and then used to cover the book “ha
Plurality des Mondes." That was In
1882. The hook, still in perfect con¬
dition, is now in tiie possession of
Mine. Flarnmarion, but will shortly
go to tiie French National library.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. laxatives And the public
is fast returning to in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can bo
measured. The action can thus bo
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take a
‘‘double dose” a day or two later.
Not will a mild liquid laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
It gently helps the average person’s
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. It makes an ideal family laxa¬
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.

RADIO ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT
IS ELOQUENT BUT VAGUE—LA¬
BOR DEMANDS CHANGES.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
©. Western Newspaper Union.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S latest
* radio talk with his fellow citizens
was well written, well delivered and
vague as to Lis future in¬
, , ^
•’•'
President
Roosevelt
through which there would be a cessa¬
tion of the strikes that have been dis¬
rupting tiie nation’s business. He said
he would ask tiie representatives of
those forces to agree temporarily on
questions of wages, hours and working
conditions, and that with such agree¬
ments in force lie expected further ad¬
justments would be made peaceably,
through governmental or private medi¬
ation.
“I shall not ask either employers or
employees permanently to lay aside tiie
weapons common to industrial war,” he
added. "But I shall ask both groups
to give a fair trial to peaceful methods
of adjusting their conflicts of opinion
and interest, and to experiment for a
reasonable time with measures suitable
to civilize our industrial civilization.”
By way of reply lo the appeals of
many business, industrial and financial
lenders that tiie more radical measures
of the administration's program be
abandoned, Mr. Roosevelt declared the
New Deal is to go ori. To the ques¬
tions of those lenders concerning bal¬
ancing of the budget, government ex¬
penses, further devaluation of the dol¬
lar or return to flic gold standard, he
made no reply. However, lie did de¬
clare himself in favor of a system of
business based on private profit. Then
he said:
“I am not for a return to that defi¬
nition of liberty under which for many
years a free people were being gradu¬
ally regimented Into the service of the
privileged few. 1 prefer and I am sure
you prefer that brouder definition of lib¬
erty under which we are moving for¬
ward to greater freedom, to greater se¬
curity for the average man than he
has ever known before In the history
of America.”
Concerning the NRA, the President
gave praise to General Johnson and
said the national recovery administra¬
tion was entering its second phase,
"which is in turn a period of prepara¬
tion for legislation which will deter¬
mine its permanent form." Il« admit¬
ted there was a question as to the
wisdom of some of the devices em¬
ployed during the first phase of tiie
NRA, but decried the attacks on the
constitutionality of many of the things
his administration nns done. “We are
not," lie said, “frightened by reaction¬
ary lawyers of political editors. All
these cries have been heard before.”
Near the beginning of his address,
the President said:
“I am happy to report that after
years of uncertainty, culminating in
the collapse of the spring of 1933, we
are bringing order out of the old chaos
with a greater certainty of the employ¬
ment of labor at a reasonable wage
and of more business at a fair profit.
These governmental and Industrial de¬
velopments hold promise of new
achievements for the nation.”
First formal response to the Presi¬
dent’s speech came from the National
Association of Manufacturers, which
urged him to issue a proclamation for
a “truce on Industrial warfare’’ during
which existing employment relations
would be continued, and challenged the
American Federation of Labor to take
like action. Its statement said:
“The President will find employers
willing to sit down with him, as he
- proposes, to devise means for ending
the constant series of strikes which
have been one of the major obstacles
to recovery.”
Green and Morrison, respectively
president and secretary of the federa¬
tion, said this was a subterfuge and
that the manufacturers should first
publicly announce they would obey the
decisions of constituted authorities, es¬
pecially concerning discrimination and
collective bargaining.
YiriHLE President William Green
V V and some other leaders of the
American Federation of Labor, just
convened in San Francisco, expressed
approval of what Mr. Roosevelt said in
his radio address, many others prom¬
inent in the federation are far from
satisfied with the way things are go¬
ing. The executive council’s annual
report devoted pages to an analysis of
the effect of the NRA upon tiie inter¬
ests of labor! Almost without excep¬
tion, tiie effects were round either di¬
rectly harmful or at least unsatisfac¬
tory.
The criticism was directed at the
workings of the recovery program, in
actual operation. Tiie NRA and the
New Deal itself were not condemned.
But the committee indicted the pro
gram ou these main grounds:
That it has failed to increase the
purchasing ewer of workers.
That because it has failed to reduce
tentions. He sought to
reassure business and
labor, both of which
are questioning him
anxiously, hut he
made no definite re¬
plies to their categor¬
ical queries. His one
specific statement was
that within a month
he would seek to ne¬
gotiate a truce lie
tween large groups of
employers and iarge
groups of employees
hours of labor sufficiently It has also
failed to create a satisfactory number
of new jobs.
That its compliance machinery Is in¬
effective, with the result that viola¬
tions of the spirit of the codes are eas¬
ily accomplished and quite general.
Labor does not have proper repre¬
sentation in either code enforcement
or administration.
"In one way," the report says, point¬
ing to what seems to be viewed as the
only satisfactory accomplishment thus
far under the NRA, “codes have ful¬
filled expectations. They have with
few exceptions wiped out child labor.”
Discussing the alleged failure to in¬
crease purchasing power of workers
the report says that in 10 Industrial
groups surveyed In the year ending
with July, 1934, employment increased
9.8 per cent; individual weekly wages
0.4 per cent and the cost of living 0.3
per cent.
“This meant that tiie employees in
these Industries are at the same posi¬
tion regarding purchasing power as
they Held before the NRA," the com¬
mittee commented.
The report finds also that minimum
wages fixed In codes have been regard¬
ed by employers as maximum wages
and that the wages of skilled workers
have accordingly been reduced to com¬
pensate for Increase wages to the un¬
skilled.
The committee estimates that 10,-
500,000 people still are unemployed, al¬
though of these approximately 2,000,
000 are cared for temporarily by the
CWA and various government construc¬
tion projects.
The council said organized labor
must be “forever opposed” to “curren¬
cy inflation as the method of recovery”
and It viewed the Increased national
debt with “alarm and with misgiving.”
/"YRGANIZKD U business und tiie Pres
ident are not at ail satisfied with
each other. Business leaders are
nervous, and Mr. Roosevelt feels that
they have too many “inhibitions” and
are not doing what they should to aid
recovery. The Chamber of Commerce
of tiie United States, seeking a clear
statement of the President’s future in¬
tentions, sent him a list of questions
on expenditures, budget balancing, cur¬
rency stabilization and the govern¬
ment's part in business, politely re¬
questing categorical replies. Mr. Roose¬
velt received the questionnaire with a
smile and a joke, and there was no in¬
dication of his intention to answer It.
It was revealed In Washington that
tiie President also received not long
ago a set of resolutions adopted at a
secret meeting of 120 leading indus¬
trialists and financiers. These men as¬
serted that the policies of the New
Deal, along witii the uncertainties of
the future, are throttling economic re¬
covery In the United States. The res¬
olutions were not Intended for publi¬
cation and the President made no men¬
tion of them In his press conferences.
Still another hard rap at tiie New
Deal came In the form of a statement
by the federal advisory council, com¬
posed of lending bankers. It was con¬
tained in a set of recommendations for
the federal reserve system and severe¬
ly criticizes the administration’s mone¬
tary ami economic policies, demanding
a return to what the council considers
sound principles.

The judicial branch of the NRA was
still under consideration. Mr. Roose¬
velt indicated that its duties might be
assigned to a special department of
the Department of Justice.
n E.S1GNATION of General Johnson,
LN. tls accepted by tiie President, is
not effective until October 15. Until
then he will be busy compiling his final
report and also, it is said, writing the
story of tiis life.
This is not the time or place to es¬
timate General Johnson’s achievements
as administrator ot' the NRA which
was largely his own creation. He cer¬
tainly worked hard and accomplished
much, whether for good or evil. His
mistakes were admittedly glaring, and
not the least of them was his recent
assertion that during his administra¬
tion lie had been in close touch with
Justice Brandeis of the Supreme court.
As that tribunal will have to pass on
the constitutionality of NRA before
long, this statement created a sensa¬
tion and was dismaying to the friends
of Justice Brandeis. Of course, the
jurist couid take no notice of it. The
“low down ” is said to be that Johnson
did consult the justice when he was
formulating tiie NRA and received
some Informal advice which he dis
regarded, and that later Mr. Brandeis
tv id him he had better resign.

African “Wirele..”
The “bush telegraph” of African
native tribes is still a mystery to
whites in the interior of Africa, al¬
though radio has robbed it of its one¬
time value as a conveyor of impor¬
tant world news to remote outposts.
In spite of differences of language,
the negro tribes are able to convey
complicated messages clear across
Africa by relays of drums. It was
thus that many a white man learned
of the death of Queen Victoria and
the fall of Khnrtourn weeks before
they had confirmation of the news.
No white man has ever learned the
code, although the drums are used
as frequently as ever for carrying
messages between tribes.

MISS JOSEPHINE BOWLING
Crowned "Miss Georgia."
Georgia has produced a beauty
queen who maintains sufficient
equilibrium to say “no’’ to stage,
screen and radio offers.
She is Josephine Bowling, 17
year-old high school senior of Col¬
lege Park, Ga.. crowned “Miss Geor¬
gia," queen of all Georgia Peaches,
by Governor Eugene Talmadge at
the Georgia Day celebration in the
Court of States of the World’s Fair,
September 25.
The crown of peach blossoms had
scarcely been placed on her shapely
brunette head when telegrams, tel¬
ephone calls and personal appeals,
offering contracts to the beauty, be¬
gan pouring in.
Jack Young, general manager of
“Ziegfeld’s Follies" and Mrs. Flo
renz Ziegfeld’s (Billie Burke) per¬
sonal representative, was first on
the job to offer Miss Bowling a
contract with the show. Thanking
Mr. Young for an opportunity for
which thousands of girls all over
the United States would pay mon¬
ey, Miss Bowling gracefully de¬
clined.
A telegram from back home ar¬
rived urging her to become a model
in a large Georgia department store.
Again Miss Bowling said “No,
thanks.” The same negative reply
was made to an RKO moving pic¬
ture offer. She even declined to
adhere to the pleadings of her very
close friends to enter the World’s
Fair contest for selection of “Miss
Century of Progress.” The only of¬
fer she did not turn down was that
of a new Ford car presented to her
by the Ford dealers of Georgia.
In the final analysis, Miss Bow¬
ling is one beauty queen—and what
a beauty—who seems satisfied to
have won and to place her crown
among the family heirlooms and re¬
turn to her former routine of study
in hopes she will be a successful
business woman some day.
So, this Peach Queen, after spend¬
ing a week at the Fair, returned to
the land of peach blossoms where
she will reign quietly for one year
until her successor is chosen in
1935.

Economy in Wise
Use of Dye Pot
Renovating Fall Draperies
Comparatively Easy
Procedure.
In the season of renewing fall
draperies for winter use not all
pocketbooks permit of indulging in
purchase of new goods. If the drap¬
eries are sound, but faded, the prob¬
lem is not too difficult. Change can
be effected by use of the dye pot,
even If not in the hands of an ex¬
pert. Or a cheap fabric In white can
be bought and colored
To dye fabrics an even shade Is
not a matter to be dismissed lightly,
if the goods are to bear the close
scrutiny which is accorded to dress
materials. But curtains, partly be¬
cause they bang In folds, and partly
because the light behind them helps
to distribute the color, can be suc¬
cessful to a greater degree In ama¬
teur hands.
Soap dyes do not demand the
washing of the material beforehand,
but it is not a bad rule to follow,
with all dyes, that material dyes bet¬
ter when clean, or at least relieved
of its greatest burden of dust. A
plunger, such as is used In washing
blankets, is recommended. A wood¬
en spoon or stick for stirring the
goods In the dye pot is needed.
Excellent instructions are to be
found on the packages of dyes, but
there are others, more personal which
come only from the experienced.
Wear an old dress, and a pair of
stockings that can’t be harmed. Dye
is sure to splash on them. If your
shoes are good, wear rubbers, as
they, too, will get marked in trans¬
ferring the newly dyed fabric from
pot to line, or wash tub to pot. Dip
and dry a piece of the fabric before
dipping the article. Have the right
kind of dye for your goods.
Curtains, if somewhat streaked, are
not beyond use, but if they come out
actually different similes their beauty
is doubtful. To avoid this mishap
get this feature of dyeing clearly In
mind. A solution becomes weaker
with every article dyed in it. Nat¬
urally the goods takes up the dye,
and any moisture in goods diminishes
the strength of the dye. Make a
larger quantity of dye than is to be
used on the first pair or first two
pair of curtains. Measure it, so
many cups to the gallon, and throw
away the weakened dye solution
after the first lot is dipped. Mix the
next quantity in the same proportion
and use the same number of cur¬
tains.
Be sure to give the dyed curtains
clear line space. Have nothing near
them they can mark. Dry them
opened up, not folded over the line.
Iron while damp. This process is
called “refinishing." One woman
known to the writer re-dips her liv¬
ing room draperies a dark rich brown
every year. She makes no work of
it At all.
