Naturally the decision has brought cut some facetious comment in addition this location phase.

Beytrard Broun, for example, notes that "by a vote of flv to four tha Supreme Court of the United States-according to theory composed of tke best minds In the country, has decided that an emergency, exists In this country. I rather think that smaller Intellects might have come (he same conclusion by a wider margin." Possibly so. Thai Supreme Court, however, nnoPpass upon questions In any such loose fitting primary style.

Thehearlng of this decision on other recovery legislation, Federal nd State, Is rightly regarded as of greatest Importance.

ic. iwr-k iMclnlvre NEW YORK. Jan. 18. The bogus Prince Mike Romanoff still flaunts his pseudo continental veneer about the bars, his celebrity undlmmed.

His amazing charlatanism seems to invite welcome instead of snub. Two of his haunts are "No. 21" and Moriarty's, to which he drifts at cocktail hours. Wherever he drops, in pepole invite him to their Ubles to have a drink his capacity is said to be limitless and hear him ventilate his highly amusing Axonian accent. This touch of bravado In face of Page One exposures, has a sharp appeal to the Broadway sham.

Mike is surtouted In a dashing great-coat with jaunty muffler and is deft at stinging repartee. When sarcasm becomes too thick, he as sumes an Injured dignity quite magnificent to behold. Goaded too deeply, he has been known to uncork a few well placed socks. Even a phoney has limits. An evening recently I saw him agaln.it a doorway.

The ciowds hsd Indulged their spoofing and drifted on. He tugged at his toothbrush mustache a bit dispirit edly. It was as though his mask had fallen. For he was again Harry Oer- son, a Ghetto boy, perhaps conscious of his flim-flammery. Ben H.

Atwell's Broadway home is a tower suite high-flung in a West 42d street hotel. To his cro-niesjt Is "Poverty Heights" where, when Ben Is sounding the press agent tom-toms in Butte or Walla Walla, all have keys and access to the larder. And this easy hospitality has been going on, lo! these 20 year. The Dunhlll shop in new Radio City quarters continues the swankiest of all depression gestures. Its abandoning linen dusters for long coats of autumnal brown, are Picadilly importations who give ft "By appointment to the King" patina to the simple process of buying a cigar.

Above average intelligence, she professed to have at tended finishing school in Vlr glnia. She averages three calls i week from private detective agencies. A current revue, along with most reporters, gives the mellow gran deur that Is the asset of the Union Club to the Union League club. No two organizations are so confused in public thought. The Union Lea gue Is chiefly political with ft mem bershlp mostly of business men.

The Union, with Its new building on upper Park avenue, is the real blue-blood of the two, the aristocratic sanctuary of the Tories of a different generation. Miriam Hopkins seems the "It" glil of the moment the spot occu pied by the fabulous Tallulah Bankhesd, in convalescence. The two young actresses are strikingly similar, willowy blondes with Southern accents and equally unpredictable. Indeed, Miss Hopkins stepped into a play originally in tended for Miss Bankhesd. where she plays a hoop-skirted she-devil role in ft Louisiana atmosphere of slavery, yellow Jack, seguldllls and the duello.

It waa Lou Holts in a Ohetto cafe, Inquiring of a waiter: "Where's the menu who was informed: "Down the hall third door to right." "1 aaaaaaaaaaaaa Only one. romance seems left to New York streets. And It is pale blood indeed that does not tingle to the scarlet rush of the fire wagons thundering through traffic, the swiftest and most heroic pageant of modem times. One thinks, as they rush by, of an Inferno of flame and a building reeling against the sky. But it's seldom that New York has few picturesque fires any more.

But the parade to them is grand excitement Just the same. In ft loiter over East 47th street this evening I gazed wistfully at window of tired puppies in a disar ray of piled-up slumber. Like so many of us they had been playing pretty for customers all day and were worn out After ft day of try ing to buy a hat I itched to snuggle in among them.

Thai conviction of the man Wiles In Columbia on trial the murder of fifteen-year-old H. H. Harris was lnevlUble. Public sentiment demanded his conviction. PacU in the case JusUfled the attitude of public sentiment.

The threadbare plea of self-defense or insanity no matter how strongly the latter might have been supported by alien ists would have been of no avail. The result confirms the contea tlon of The Index-Journal that murder is rampant in South Carolina because there is no aroused public sentiment against murder, save in a rare, rare case like that Just cited. Two men get into a row or there may have been no row in the true sense of the word; it may be that too much liquor" is the motivating agent anyway, one kills the other. Immediately the community In which they lived and even beyond divides Into two factions. One Is for the killer and the other Is made up of friends of the dead man.

Legal Ulent is employed and It rarely falls to rise to the occasion to put forward not only a plausible case for the defendant but some times can go so far as to make him out an aggrieved person and the olea of self-defense Is the rock of salvation. To be sure there are cases in which self-defense Is a real and sound defense but every sensible man knows the plea Is often prostituted. South Carolina runs red with the blood of men killed by fellow men because there is no aroused public sentiment against murder In the 8Ute. REVAMPING OLD STORIES More than once The Index-Journal has called attention to the bald-faced habit of so-called comedians and funny papers In using old Jokes and old "good stories" as of today or getting them mixed In names and places. It is again reminded that Bob Burdette, a real humorist himself, insisted there were only seven original Jokes in the world and all others were graftings or In some way the fruit of these.

He insisted also that all seven were known and used as far back aa the first recorded history. Here Is ft sample- of good story that is used in many "forms and ways today: In a western 8Ute ft railway bridge had been destroyed by fire, and it was necessary to replace, it. Two days later came the superintendent of the division. Alighting from his private car, he encountered the foreman of the bridge builders. "Bill," said the superintendent and the words quivered with energy "I want this Job rushed.

Every hour's delay costs the company money. Have you the engineer's plans for the new bridge?" I dont know." said the-bridge builder, "whether the engineer has his picture drawed yet. but the bridge is up and the trains Is pass in' over it." We do not pretend to know how old this story is or where it originated. We do know that it was used in Harper's Magazine over forty years ago and the hero who built the bridge "while the engineers wus drawln' the plcturs" was alleged to have been General Stonewall Jack son's chief of- engineers. We do not know the name of Jackson's chef engineer, whether he was a trained engineer or what, but the story as above given was printed with this chief engineer as the man who made tha sUtement to Oeneral Jackson, with -regard to ft pontoon bridge which Jackson needed In a hurry.

Tha explanation Is that there are people who sen Jokes and "good stories" to newspapers and masa- tines that are new or are "different" They take one. chance names, dress it up little, and it can be sold. Bo-called modern comedians do the same thing or have others do it for them, to furnish a supply of Jokes and wisecracks. A' colored reader of. The Index- Journal has been following the talk bout devaluation of the dollar with profound interest and a few days ago informed a member of the staff that he has at last grasped the meaning of It alL "If you have a dollar," ha said, "it means you will have fifty cenU and, if you have fifty cents it means you won't have nothing."

Aeadamy c( MaSioUM) Kfekets and Maternal Mortality Tha connection between rlckeU and maternal mortality is simply this: An appreciable number of maternity cases which are difficult to deliver and which require the application of instruments or surgical procedures, such as a Caesarean operation from the fact that case has a misshapen and narrowed plvls. Such a pelvis most commonly Is due to rickets, In turn tba result of malnutrition In early life. While rickets Is of Importance In both the male and It has an extra significance In the case of the female, and, since methods of preventing rickets are known, there is no reason why every female child should not ba so protected tbut when she, in adulthood, undertakes the function of cblldbearing. she so, the added risks arising out of a deformed pelvis. The true prevention of rickets begins even before the child is born.

Ithaabeea -shown- 4 hat If the pregnant woman does not consume a proper diet even the unborn child may develop rickets. This condition Is rare, but what Is more slgnlflcsnt Is that defective feeding of the mother during he. pregnancy tends to Increase the liability of the offspring to the development of rickets after It born. In pregnancy an unbalanced die'. with perhaps a high meat content and with an excessive amount cf bread and cereal is one of tba fun damental nutritional causes of trouble.

Rickets In the female child should be promptly and vigorously treated with cod liver oil, sunshine, snd such protective foods as milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables. It should be borne In mind that while the correction of such rachitic deformities as are seen in the arma and legs of a rachitic child-one afflicted with rickets Is relatively easy, the complete correction of pelvic deformities due to rickets Is mora difficult and more rare. Not only the science but the art of economics Is largely based on assumptions that human welfare Is affected favorably bp a more equal distribution of material goods and more equal call upon productive energy.
