In the absence of The Gazette's editorial writer current opinion from editorial commentators in other cities is reprinted in these columns. The selection reflects diverse views on public affairs and civic issues.
An Ottumwa Courier editorial urges linking the nationwide work relief drive to removing deadly grade crossings. It argues underpasses or viaducts would save thousands of lives, require workers and materials, and spur broader business recovery. A Washington Post quip on ball games follows.
The passage blends reflections on the stratosphere as a place and the cosmos with notes on cosmic rays and Newtonian ideas. It shifts to Missouri politics noting a gubernatorial race, candidate dynamics, and regional attitudes, mentioning Ames and a Republican figure from eastern Missouri.
A sprawling critique argues government should curb wasteful lending and overproduction. It questions using other people's money for unnecessary factories and cites moral and economic costs, likening folly to weather, and noting dissent, envy, and the era's rhetoric.
A Boston Herald correspondent recalls a Maine figure leaving Machias by skiff to tend lobster pots. He is described as someone who can silence opponents yet speaks well on a fence with a corncob. The piece notes his preference for whether Speech or Silence wins the Maine election.
A Columbus resident suffers a rare malady causing incessant talking. Doctors try bromides but may need to run him for Congress.
President Green of the American Federation of Labor cautions against communist influence in labor unions and urges responsible leadership to maintain justice and a square deal. He notes no wholesale shift to communism, cites limited West Coast longshore strike activity, and warns against racketeering and alienating public support.
A man deeply loves theater but suffers a mysterious skin eruption after curtain rises. His hands break out in a rash and tiny water blisters, while movies he cares little for fail to trigger the same reaction.
A portrait of Sam Hl Harris, famed Rinlto producer, as an elusive busy boss who rarely visits theaters once shows open. He hires top material, trusts others to shape it, and maintains a generous, silent presence with packed houses and no harsh discipline.
An assortment of notes on SAM HH. HARRIS and Broadway, anti Hitler sentiment from a passenger, a Montana writer, and a British Empire Radio Center vibe. A Cockney remark aboard the Aquitania echoes amid shipboard life and Londonish clerks as the author recalls a stormy crossing.
A playful scene unfolds as a beaming figure sways in a doorway and jokes he is a bit tipsy, delivering a lighthearted quip about the moment. The remark captures a breezy, comic mood from the period.
Southern correspondent details a drowning with one and a half hours to recovery. The doctor suggested tying the victim to the heels might save them, while others favor immediate artificial respiration. The piece endorses Schaefer's prone-pressure method and urges bystander training with a small booklet offered for ten cents.
The text notes the inhalation of oxygen and carbon dioxide, termed carboxygen, during immediate manual prone-pressure respiration. It states this method supplements resuscitation, as the carbon dioxide inhaled acts as a natural stimulant to the respiratory system, boosting chances of recovery.
Readers ask about eyelid inflammation from eyelash dye and tuberculosis risks for cement workers. Advice urges medical eye care, warns against clipping lashes, notes remedies involve nutrition for tuberculosis, and provides aluminum chloride guidance for underarm sweating.
