It is only three weeks until Christ
mas. Time to begin your Christ
mas shopping. You can save mon
ey by trading with the merchants
who advertise in The Record.
. Barrowiug money to buy- things
We don’t need has always seemed
to be foolish, hut yet our govern
ment is doing.this very thing every
day. Here’s hoping-that the day
will soon come when this needless
spending can be eliminated.
It seems that the colored folks
in Memphis met a few days ago
and decided that they would join
the democratic party. Well, that’s
good. Most of them in Wake coun
ty have been voting the democratic
ticket for these mauy years.
Our democratic friends in Davie
remain in a dazed condition. They
haven’t yet recovered from the
shock they'received on the 6ib day
of November when even Mocks
ville township cast more Republi-.
can votes than was ever cast -here
before.
Senator Bofah might unearth
some startling facts in regard to ex
penditure of Federal Aid money if
be would visit the fair southland.
When any man says there is no
politics used in the expenditure of
these millions—then he just don’t
know what he is talking about.
Mills and factories throughout
the country are running on short
time, and many merchants declare
that business is not as good as it
was a year ago Tobacco and cot
ton prices are higher than a year
ago, but everything the grower has
to buy, has advanced from ten to a
hundred per cent.
We don’t know bow the farm
ers throughout the South feel about
the Bankbead cotton hill, but from
..what some of the Davle farmers
say, we believe this county will
vote against the bill. -The Record
is not advising the farmers on this
question. Some of our Tural
friends believe it a good thing,
while others think it has hurt the
small farmer badly. _
The voters in Alexander and
Watauga counties seem -to think
there were too many irregularities
in the voting in the recent election.
They are asking that the "vote fot
county candidates be recanvassed.IWith the election machinery in the
hands of. the democrats something
• must be radically wrong when the
boys can’t trust each other. If we
are not mistaken there were charges
of much crookedness in the demo
cratic primary in Alexander and
Wilkes last-June.
. - Hon. Joe Williams, our Senator,
Hon. B. C. Brock, our Representa
tive, are gently reminded that
Daviel Yadkinand Wilkes is op
posed to the sales tax, the absentee
ballot law, and favor cheaper auto
mobile tags. These counties are
also opposed to the repeal ,of the
North Carolina dry law. Joe and
Burr will be expected to do every
thing possible, to keep this state dry
and to see-that the sales tax anc
other obnoxious laws are repealed.
They bave a big job on their hands
but we believe the good democrat.*-
in the legislature - will back- them

The otjly reason Jim. hasn’t kicker

from their -jobs .regardless of. tin
Civil Service. This reminds ps tha-
federal CourrJud§e Meekinsi wh^en^MOTda^aLhomfc
ever since he got bis ,appointment
Just why this is true we can’t say.
’ When we read long articles in de
mocratic newspapers about t b e
great wave of prosperity that is
sweeping over the south it makes
us laugh A week or two ago we
mailed sixty statements to our sub
scribers livingin various sections of
th e country. These' statements
were mailed to both democrats and
Republicans, who are honest, re
liable people. Up to this writing
we have received five replies from
these sixt-y letters. -We believe-if
prosperity was abroad in the land,
that these good citizens* would mail
us checks. . We have known most
of them for vears and think they
would;- pay us if they bad the
money. Itis true that prosperity
of a kind has struck a bunch of
folks who are drawing from $5 «>
$io per day of Government money,
but there are thousands of good
people who are not drawing a
penny of this Federal Aid money.
What helps some people hurts
others.
Lee Ciouse Stricken.
Lee Clouse, court crier, was stricken with
a heart attack while- in the court room
Monday afternoon about four o'clock.
Campbell & Walker ambulance was sum

him an early recovery’
Letter From Virginia.
The Davie Record
Mocksville, N. Cl.
Dear Mr. Stroud:
I’m writing in regard to ,.your
paper which comes to my home each
week as great news to me from my
home town
The people in Virginia have good
crops this year but hardly know
what to think about the Governmen'
signing up for everything it sure
hits a big farm hard.
I want to.say I have a 5 4 6 acre
farm for sale, good for tobacco,
cotton and corn any thing a farmer
could wish to grow. Will -sell ,on
easy terms at a reasonable price.
The reason I want to sell is, I’m
left alone, I burried Mr. Bailey
October 1 4 , 1 9 3 5 in North Carolina
and I want to come back there to
live if I can sell my farm.
Inclose you will find one dollar
for which please send me the Record
foranother year

Crewe, Va.
Re-Organization Of Re
lief Forces Announced.
■ Statesville Record
Certain changes involving the or
gamzation of the relief adminis
tration in the state have been an
nounced at Raleigh. -These changes
will probably throw a wider respon
sibility on the shoulders of the re
lief administrator m tbis county.
Under the new plan of organiza
tion the 1 0 4 administrative units in
North Carolina will be reduced .to
3 3 . Iredell, Alexander and Davie
counties have been combined, with
thg administrator’s office located in
Statesville. -
Each county in the district will
have.a-branch office, which will be
staffed with necessary case workers
for home visitation and proper
supervision of families.
In linking Iredell, Alexander-
and Davie, two counties with, com
paratively .small - relief- loads have
been tied in with another with Iar-.
ger needs, and also because Iredell’s i
practically m-the center of the two,
it was plausible that this county
should be given the administration
office. . The consolidation which is
in effect over the nation, will work
in a material saving in the costs of
administering, relief, although it
will eliminate many workers.

“By Jove! I never saw such marks

"That was really poor shooting.”
“Indeed. IVlmt would you call good
■booting, may I ask?”
“!Veil, riding by a post and putting
Dte bullets into It. Or splitting the
edge of s card at twenty feet.”
“Let me see your gun?”
Jiw IVall broke his rule. when. he.
banded It over, butt first.
Herrick looked at It with mingled
feelings. "Why, there’s no trigger!”
Je exclaimed, in utter astonishment
“I do not use a trigger.”
“Thonderation, man! How do you
make the pistol go off?”
“Look here. Let me show you,” said
Jin, taking the gun. “I thumb the
bummer. . . like that.”
“By Jovel-But please explain.”
“Mr. Herrick, the cocking of a gun
Ud pulling the trigger require twice
is much time as thumbing. For ex-
tmple, supposing the eyesight and the
draw of two men are equal, the one
Tho thumbs his hammer will kill the
otter.”
“Ai—Er—Yes. I see. Most ex
traordinary, Your American West is
quite bewildering. Is this thumbing
a common practice among you des
peradoes?"
“Very uncommon. So uncommon
that I’ll be obliged if you will keep It
to yourself.”
“Oh!—Yes, by Jove! I see. Ha!
hi!ha! Igraspthepoint , . . Wall,
you're a comforting fellow to have

Herrick was evidently a free, care-

®ed to fulfilling his desires. His ec-
cffltricity was not apparent, except In
He tact of his presence there In wild
Utah. He liked horses, dogs, guns, the
outdoors, physical effort But he had
no conception whatever of his remark

'Vhen they arrived at the barn he

Jim laughed. He did not need to
ask any more. Suddenly then a tiger
ish sensation shot through his vitals,
it was like an unexpected attack.
tI d like to own all that stuff,” he
saia, carelessly.
* - * * * . * * .
Three days of genuine labor around
the ranch followed. But on the fourth
dny. Herrick approached Jim.
“Wall, I want you to go to Grand
Junction tomorrow after my sister," he
said. “Take the cowboy Barnes with
you. His home is in Grand Junction.
Have him hitch the black team to the
buckboard and start early.”
Boss, I reckon I’ll go along with
Wall,” Bays said, coolly.
Hays, I did not ask your services,”
returned Herrick. “You are needed
here.” His tone as much as his words
settled-the matter.
Jim purposely delayed his hour of
quitting, in order to avoid Hays.
After supper Hays lighted his pipe
Then, without facing Jim, he said.
“Jim, had the boss mentioned this
here trip before?"
“No. I was as surprised as you.”
"Wal, suppose you make some ex
cuse an’ let-me go instead?"
“But Herrick won’t like that, Hays,’’
protested Jim. “He turned down your
proposal cold.”
“Shore. He did. D—n funny, I take
thet, too. But If you wouldn't or
couldn’t go. I’d be next choice.”
“Hays, you. surprise me. Here you.
are on the eve of a big deal—the big
gest of your life. And you risk anger
ing Herrick at this stage.”
Hays puffed his pipe. He was
beaten.
“Wal,” he said, finally, “I reckon
mebbe you’re right, Jim. Only it didn’t
seem so.”
By sunrise next day Jim Wall was
on his way to Grand Junction. Young
Barnes, the cowboy, had his hands
full with the spirited team.
Presently Jim’s ever-watchful eyes
caught dust far ahead, and dots. of. rid-,
ers getting off the road into the cedar
thickets. They would be Smoky’s out
fit, JIm calculated, and gave, them
credit for seeing the buckboard first
They did not appear again, and Jim
knew they were hiding on their way
back to Star ranch.
At four o’clock they drove In to
Grand Junction, which was consid
erably larger apd busier than Green
River.
“Barnes, here we are,” said Jim.
“This Is a metropolis, compared to
Green River.”
“Fust I’ve been home fer long,” re
joined Barnes. “I’ll take care of the
team at my paw’B.”
Barnes drove off down the road and
Jim leisurely entered the lodging
house, which, it turned out, was run
by a buxom woman, who made herself
agreeable. She was loquacious, and
very shortlySTim gained the surpris
ing Information that no cattle herds
had passed through Grand Junction
this week.
After supper Jlm turned in.
Awakening early he got up and
leisurely shaved and dressed, paying
more than usual attention to his ap*
pearance. He was there to escort an
English girl fifty miles across the
wilderness to Star ranch. One thing
he was sure of, and that was that it
would be vastly better for Mlss Her
rick than If Hank Hays had been
sent Suddenly this fact struck Jim as
singular. Was he any better than
Hank Hays?
After, breakfast he went out and
found a boy to shine his high-top, boots
and brush his dark, worn suit and his
black sombrero. Presently, then, he
encountered Barnes.
“Howdy, boy. Did you have a nice
time home?”
“Gee, I did,” grinned the cowboy.
“You sure look bright this morning.
“Wal you look kinda spick.an’ span
yourself, Jim,” drawled Barnes. “Funny
how the ldear of a gurl gets a feller.
“Funny? You mean terrible, my
friend. A woman Is as terrible as an
army approaching with banners ”
••Gosh, who’d ever dreamed you had
inside a Bible?” exclaimed the
■+I>v■m
cowboy. ,•It’s funny, though, how I happened
to remember th at Now, Barnes, Usten

if I let that pass I’d be sailing °ndcr
false colors. I don’t do that And

with a puzzled grin. _
“Ton know. . • • The kind of a

“Shore I’ll fis i f replied Barnes,
itn a sly glance at Jim. “You give

J J t the stage did not show up for
i „“°!)r~ a lonS’ nervous dragging one
no fliffT ^ aJ1' ®rand Junction was o different from other western points
remote from clvilization-everybody
turned out to see the stage come In.
« was a gala occasion for the young
sters, of whom there was a surprising
number. The women onlookers, Jim
observed, rather hung In the background.
The four-horse stage came rolling
UP In a cloud of dust. The driver, a
fizzled old frontiersman, brought it
to a stop with a fine flourish, and
bawled out: “Grand Junction! Half hour fer lunch.”
There were six passengers, two of
them feminine. The. last to leave the
stage was a tall, veiled young woman,
her lithe and erect figure encased in
a long linen coat She carried a small
satchel. Expectantly she looked
around. Jim stepped before her, baring his head.
“Are you Miss Herrick?”
“Oh !—Yes,” she exclaimed In relief.
Your brother sent us to meet you,”
went on Jim, indicating Barnes, who
stood to one side.
“He did not come!” The full, rich
voice, with Its foreign intonation,
struck pleasantly upon Jim’s ear.
“No. There’s much work at Star
ranch. But it’s perfectly all right
Miss Herrick. We will drive you safe
ly over before dark.”
Jim could not see clearly through
the tan veil, but he discerned well
enough that big eyes studied him.
“Didn’t he send a letter or anything?
How am I to know you men are em
ployed by my brother!”
‘Tm afraid you’ll have to take my
word,” replied Jim, gravely. “But,
Barnes, here, can prove his Identity.
He lives In Grand Junction, and of
course there are responsible people
who will vouch for him.”
“Miss, the boss did send word,”
spoke up Barnes, touching his hat,
and stepping closer he added In lower
tone: “He told me last night you was
to fetch what come by Wells-Fargo.”
"Then It Is all right,” she replied,
heartily relieved. “My luggage Is In
side, on top and tied on behind. The
name is on every piece. Helen Her
rick.”
‘Tl! attend to the baggage, Miss Her
rick,” rejoined Jim. “Meanwhile
Barnes will show you-where to eat: It
might rest you to walk a little. We
have an eight-hour drive.”
“Thank you. I’ve been riding ‘Stead
ily for two weeks and Tm stiff.”
Whereupon Jim set about collecting
the pieces of baggage marked “Her
rick." It appeared that the stage had
been loaded down with them. Nine
teen In all! Manifestly Mlss Herrick
had come to stay. To find room for all
of them In the buckboard was going
to be a task. He set about this method
ically, his mind at once busy and ab
sent By packing carefully under the
seats and. on them, too, Jim got the
bags all In. He went to the store and
bought rope to tie some of them on
securely. ' “Wonder what she, looks
like,” he thought. He had felt vague
ly uncomfortable when she looked him
over through that veil. His task com
pleted, Jim stood beside the restless
horses, waiting. And It seemed he was
waiting for he knew not what.
Presently Barnes returned, wearing
an excited grin. His eyes were Im
portant.
"Jim, I fixed It I shore gave her
an earful.” he said.
“Did you? Much obliged, cowboy.”
“She took off thet coat an’ veil.
Lordy! Utah never seen the likes of
her. Bed Ups, pink cheeks, hair like
gold, an’ eyes like violets! Jim, for
a mlnnit I went plumb back on my
gurl I—But shucks, thet’s crazy. She
asked me to set at table. I did. She’s
just as nice an’ free as Herrick. It
was while we was eatin’ thet I had the
chanst to tell her about the notorious
Jim Wall. Mebbe I didn’t spread It on.
An’ she looked—gee, such eyes! She
said, ‘So BernIe Herrick sent a des
perado to be my escort? Howperfect-.
Iy rlppln’!’—Honest, Jim, thet’s what
she said. So I shet up pronto. . . .
When I Jest come away she said she’d
walk a little In the orchard an’ after
goto’ Into the Wells-Fargo office she’d
be ready.”
“Have you double-crossed me?
queried Jim, suspicious of this boy.
“You were to make me out low-down.”
' “Jim, honest to. Gawd, if thet gurl
ain’t scared to death ; of you she’s a
new one on me,” declared Barnes. But
there was fun and evasion In his keen,
hazel eyes. Somehow he had failed
to follow instructions.
“I’ll go In-the-Chink’s here and get
a bite to eat You watch the horses.”
Upon his return Jlm espied Mlss
Herrick emerging from the yard of
Mrs. Bowe’s lodging house. She car*
ried the linen coat oa her arm, ajd-
without It did not appear so tall. She
had a wonderful steg, a free, swinging,
graceful stride, expressive of healfli
and vitality. She did not look slender,
as In the long ulster,-but superb, broad
of shoulder. She wore a half-length
c o a t over her brown dress. It h ada
collar of dark fur which presented
vivid contrast to her exquisite com
plexion. The veil was tucked back and
now permitted sight of a wave of shin-
C ? golden hair. At a little distoce
her eyes looked like great,, dark holes
set Iri white; But as she approached
Jlm saw that they were viofct In
warm, beautiful, feariess.^ -

SONDAy IcHooL Lesson
(By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D- Ifember of Faculty, Moody Biblo Institute of Chicago.) Western Newspaper Union.
Lesson for December 9
T H E C H R IS T IA N A S T E A C H E R
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 7:24-39; Acts 18:24-28. 'GOLDEN TEXT—Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.—IX Timothy 2:15.PKIMART TOPIC—Jesus Our Teacher. . ..
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus the Great Teacher.• INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
1O—Learning From the Master Teacher.TOTJNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Teaching Church.
v It seems that the lesson committee
decided upon a title and then sought
texts to fit It It Is very difficult If
not Impossible, to make the texts fit
the title. Regardless of the strained
effort required to make this adjust
ment, two vitally practical Scripture
passages are before us from which
to set forth vital truths. The follow
ing pr/tctical lesson plan Is suggested.
I. Jesus the Master Teacher (Matt
7:24-29).
1. His method of teaching (vv. 24-
27). In his application of the so-called
Sermon on the Mount Jesus used a
most striking simile, namely, the two
foundations.
.'a. The house built on a rock (w.
24-25). This house endured the
storms and flood because of its secure
and abiding foundation. The. wise
builder will see to it that a safe foun
dation Is provided before he proceeds
to erect his house.
b. The house built on the sand (w.
26-27). This house collapsed with the
impact of the storms and flood because
its foundation was Insecure. The fool
ish builder is. the man who proceeds to
build bis house without consideration
of the importance of the foundation.
By Iiousei In this figure Is doubtless
meant human life and character. ' And
by rock is meant the teachings of
Christ EJvery man is building a house.
The fact of building is true of every
human being. The supreme difference
is not in the men who build or the ma
terial used in the building, but in the
foundatioq upon which they build. The
foundation determines everything so
far as man’s destiny is concerned. A
time of testing will surely come to ev
ery life. The matter of Importance is
as to whether we. are building upon
the foundation which will withstand the
coming storms and flood. The one who
builds upon the words of Jesus ChTist
is eternally secure.
2. The impression made (vv. 28-29).
The people were astonished. The con
tent of Christ’s teaching as well as his
manner of teaching was in contrast
with that of the scribes. The teach
ing of the-scribes consisted in the rep
etition of the words of others, while
Christ’s teaching was In his own words.
The Christian teacher should give forth
a positive and certain message because
he sets forth the inerrant and eternal
words of Christ the living God.
II. Apollos the Teacher Who Needed
to Be Taught (Acts 18:24-28).
Apollos is a striking example of
many Christian leaders today. Many
are gifted, energetic, and highly
trained, and yet are. Ignorant of the
real Christian message and Pentecostal
grace.
1. Who he was (v. 24). He was an
Alexandrian Jew, highly cultured,
carefully instructed in the Old Testa
ment. Scriptures, energetic and elo
quent He was a believer In Jesus
Christ, even familiar with his life and
teaching.
2, What he lacked (v. 25). He was
only a disciple of John the Baptist.
He was therefore ignorant of the
meaning of -Christ’s death, resurrec
tion, ascension, and the gift of the
Spirit as outpoured at . Pentecost
There are striking parallels to this to
day in the Christian church. -We have
many good: men -eloquent and highly
cultured who know only “the baptism
of John.” They Insist upon the In
tegrity of men In public life, social
Justice, and even call upon men to re
pent of their sins, but they seem to
know nothing of the meaning of the
death of Christ the necessity of the
new birth by the Spirit, and the Pen
tecostal gift They are pleading for
social justice and .a higher standard
of ethics, seemingly not knowing that
these are by-products of the gospel and,
are meaningless and Impossible with
out. the proclamation- of the gospel of
Christ which centers In the person
and work of the divine Saviour.
■3. Who instructed Apollos (v. 26).
iPrisciila and AquiIa1 humble Christian
tent-makers, were instrumental in
showing the great preacher his ignor
ance'and leading him Into the truth.
4. Result of his ministry (w. 27-28).
He 'was provided with credentials and
had a fruitful ministry. He mightily
convinced the Jews showing that Jesus
was the Messiah.

,CRITICISM
“W tat do you think of the critics
of your plan?”
“I resent them,” answered Senator
Sorghum.
“Haven’t they any good ideas?”
“Oh, yes. I may utilize some ol
them. Nevertheless, I don’t propose
to encourage the nerve ^hey show In
expressing them.”
Encouragement
At an English theater they were
playing‘‘The Forty Thieves,” and as
the company numbered only., eight,
the entry of the robbers into the
cave was achieved by their passing
out at theTiack of the stage and en
tering again at the front
Unfortunately one of the robbers
walked with a limp, and when he
had entered five times a voice from
the.gallery cried: “Stick it, Hoppy;
last lap!”
Disappointment
“So you are going home," said the
kindly stranger to the wanderer. “I
suppose they will kill the fatted calf
for you?”
. “Yes, that’s the worst of It,” re
plied the wanderer sourly; “I am on
a diet and can’t eat any m eat”—

B e d t i m e Story f o r Children
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
PETER LISTENS FOR
SOMETHING
THE leaves of the trees turned yel
low and red and brown. They be
gan to drop, a few at first, and more
and more every day, until all but the
spruce trees and the pine trees and the
hemlock trees and the fir trees and the
cedar trees were bare. The fur of Pe
ter’s coat was growing thicker. The
grass of the Green Meadows had turned
brown. AU these things were signs
which Peter knew well. They meant
that rough Brother North Wind and
Jack Frost were od their way down
from the Far North to stay.
Peter spent a great deal of time In
the dear Old Brier Patch just sitting
still and listening. He didn’t know
what be was listening for. It just
seemed to him that there was some
thing he ought to hear at this time of
year, and so he sat listening and list
ening and wondering what he was list
ening for.
Then late one afternoon there came
floating down to him from high up In
the sky, faintly at first, but growing
louder, a sound unlike any Peter had
heard all the long summer through.
The sound was of many voices mingled.
“Honk! Honk! Honk! Ka-honk, honk,
honk, ka-honk!” they cried. Peter gave
a little jump.
“That’s what I’ve been listening for,”
he thought. “Honker the Goose and
his friends are coming I Oh, I do hope
they will stop where I can pay them
a call.”
He hopped out to the edge of the
dear Old Brier Patch that he might see

so often heard.
Suddenly Honker turned and headed
In the direction of the Big River. Then
he began to slant down, his flock fol
lowing him. Presently they disap
peared behind the trees along the bank
of the Big River. Peter gave a happy
sigh. “They are going to spend the
night there,” thought he. “When the
moon comes up I will run over there,
for then they will come ashore, and I
know just where. Now that they’ve
arrived I know that winter is not far

The Perfect Fool
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I went Into a restaurant the other
day and ordered some “liver and ba
con.” The waitress brought me some
bacon, but said I would have to wait
for my liver until after the two men
at the next table were served. What
answer have you for that?
Truly yours.
PHIL HARMONIC.
Answer: That is the toughest ques
tion I’ve had, but I’ve worked it out
The two men must have ordered be
fore you placed your order. They prob
ably ordered liver, the same as you.
She served them first because she
didn’t want you to have your “liver
out of order.”
Dear Mr. Wynn:
I just arrived In town today and
noticed some signs on the lamp post.
I am a little nearsighted and cannot
see what are on the signs. Can you tell
me what they are for and why they
are up so high?Yours truly,
L VORY..
Answer: They are pnt on top of the
lamp posts so tliat people passing will
see them. You are supposed to climb
up the post-and read the sign. If It
says “fresh paint” then you know you
shouldn’t lean against the posts

SOME TESTED GOOD THINGS
T HERE is an old saying that “an
apple a day keeps the doctor away,”
and an onion a day keeps everybody
away. A good time to indulge In the
odoriferous bulb is at a time when
you’ will not annoy others. Onions
are such wholesome vegetables that
they should be served at least twice a
week in some form during the entire
winter. An onion sirup cannot be ex-
ceUed for a cough, and a poultice of
chopped raw onion, mixed with rye
flour with a bit of vinegar to moisten,
makes a remedy for any lung trouble.
Not pleasant, but very effective.
Lemon Pudding.
Mix one cupful of flour, two egg
yolks well beaten, one lemon, juice

PROBE BUTLER TALE
OF A FASCIST PLOT
Congressmen Interested In
Fimtastic Story.
-T . . . .New York.—A thorough investiga
tion of fascist activities in the United
States was promised as result of al
leged statements by MaJ- Gen. Smedley
D. Butler that he had been asked by
a group of wealthy New Yorkers to
lead a right wing movement designed
to set up a dictatorship In Washing
ton. '
Enough evidence of fascist activi
ties has been uncovered, members of
the congressional committee investi
gating the alleged subversive move
ments, said, to justify a thorough
probe.
Following publication of a story In
a New York newspaper quoting-rBuHer
as saying he had been asked to head
an American fascist movement the
congressional committee met In ex
ecutive session and questioned a num
ber of witnesses including Butler and
Paul Comly French, the reporter who
wrote the Butler story..
After thie session Representative
John N.. McCormick of Massachusetts,
chairman of the committee, said addi
tional'witnesses will be called.
Butler-was the first witness called
before the committee. His testimony
was secret but It was reported he out
lined the proposal made to-him by the
New York capitalists who allegedly
were attempting organization of a
fascist march on Washington some
thing along lines of Benito Mussollnl’B
march on Rome which ended in the
Italian fascist dictatorship.
The names of Grayson Mallet-Pre-
vost Murphy, financier, and Robert
Sterling Clark, wealthy Wall Street
broker, figured prominently through
out the story with the inference they
would raise $3,000,000 or more to start
the fascist, organization.
Murphy described the whole ,story
as “a damned lie.” Clark is in Paris
and admitted that he had “strongly
urged” Butler “to use his Influence
In favor of sound money against In-
flaHon,” but he flatly denied allega
tions that he had sponsored an Amer
ican fascist movement
. Threatening to take action against
General Butler “for any libels which
may have been committed,” Clark ex
pressed complete mystification concern
ing the general’s charges that a fascist
coup was plotted.
In his story French named Gerald
P. MacGuire1 connected with the brok
erage house of Grayson M.-P.
Murphy and Company as the man who
asked-,Butler to organize. 500,000 war
veterans into a fascist army. MacGuire,
who described himself as a bond sales
man, said the charges werer absurd.
“What is all this; a publicity stunt?”
he 'asked, asserting he had not the
slightest idea why he had been sub
poenaed by the committee.

will be worked out by a committee of
three arbiters, with the union recog
nized as the bargaining agent for the
employees.
Gen. Smedley
D. Butler
SOBER minded American citizens
find it difficult to take seriously,
the fantastic story that Maj. Gen.
Smedley D. Butler told to the con
gressional committee
investigating un-Amer
ican activities. This
retired officer of ma
rines charges that
there is a plot, en
gineered by W a ll
street men, to seize
the government of the
United States and set
up a Fascist dictator
ship, and the chairman
of the committee, Rep
resentative John W.
McCormack of New
York, considered the tale of enough im
portance to warrant the calling of wit
nesses to prove or disprove it General
Butler made Iiis story public through
the columns of the New York Evening
Post, as the proceedings of the com
mittee are conducted in private.
If Butler is to be believed, he was
approached by Gerald P. MacGuire,
bond salesman in the stock exchange
firm of Grayson M. P. Murphy and
Company, and urged to accept the lead
ership of a soldier organization of half
a million men “which would assem
ble—probably a year from now—In
Washington, and that within a few
days it could take over . the functions
of the government.” MacGuire, accord
ing to the general, thought the over
turn of the government might be ac
complished peacefully and suggested
that “we might even go along with
Roosevelt and do with him what Mus-
soliDl did with the king of Italy.”
Butler's story continued:
“He told me he believed that at
least half of the American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars would fol
low me.
“MacGuire explained to me that they
had two other candidates for the posi
tion of ‘Man on the White Horse.' He
said that if I did not accept an offer
would be made to Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur, chief of staff of the United
States army, and that the third choice
would be Hanford MacNider, former
commander of the American Legion.
“So far as I know, neither General
MacArthur nor MacNider has been ap
proached. Their names were merely
mentioned as ‘alternates.’”
- The general said he was offered con
siderable sums “for expenses” which he
- did not accept He said. MacGuire In
timated that among the backers of the
plan were Mr. Murphy and Col. Bobert
S. Clark, a wealthy New Yorker with
offices in the Stock Exchange build
ing ; and he added that later Colonel
Clark offered him money to go to the
American Legion convention in Chi
cago last year and make a speech for
retention of the gold standard, which
speech MacGuire had previously given
Butler.
Clark, at present in France, admit
ted he had asked Butler “to use his
influence In favor of sonnd money and
against inflation," but strongly denied
that he had sponsored a Fascist move
ment He declared he would take ac
tion for libel against any person ac
cusing him in such a connection.
Murphy and other Wall street men
said the story was absolutely false
and unutterably ridiculous, and Mac-
Gnire, after being heard by the Mc
Cormack committee, said: “It’s a Joke
—a publicity stunt I know nothing
about it. The matter is made, out of
whole doth. I deny the story complete
ly.”
C O FAR as the great steel Industry
is concerned, it appears that the
industrial truce asked by President
Roosevelt cannot be arranged, and the
prospect of a strike of the steel work
ers is growing.
In behalf of the United States Steel
corporation, a proposal was made to
the American Federation of Labor that
recognition of that organization would
be granted, but that no contract would
be made. This proposal, it was said,
would be agreed to by 85 per cent of
the steel industry..
The labor spokesmen;'led by William
Gr^en, president ’of ^he A. F of L., re
jected the tender on the ground that
It was hedged about in such a way to
permit collective bargaining with mi
nority groups or company unions, and
that the employers were still unwilling
to accept the principle of majority rule
as set forth'In the national labor re
lations board’s decision in the Houde
case. ^
If a rupture comes the Federation
of Labor may find the federal govern
ment rather unsympathetic; Hjv Green’s
Influence in the White House has been
waning noticeably and he has Ifad no
personal contacts with the. President
for some £ime. . t . —.
New Yorkers with offices in sky
scrapers were gladdened by the news
that a threatened strike of elevator
operators had been averted and an
agreement, drafted by Mayor La
Guardla’s board of arbitration, had
been signed by representkti’yes JoI :the
real estate interests aid 'the union.
The union. wlthdrew its. demand $>r _
closed shop; and standards of wages
and hours in various types of buildings
BY ORDER of the national labor re
lations board there will be held
soon a great workers’ election which
will determine whether organized labor
shall dominate the country’s rubber in
dustry.
The board decreed that the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber company and
the B. F. Goodrich company of Akron,
Ohio, must allow their employees to
ballot on the question of whether they
want a company union or an American
Federation of Labor union to represent
them in collective bargaining under the
NRA.
Twenty-one thousand workers, the
largest number ever polled by the labor
board on- an NRiA- question, will par
ticipate in the election. In addition
another 15,000 workers of the Good
year Rubber company may ballot on
the same question. The Goodyear an
gle of the case has not yet been passed
upon by the board. ,
Both the Firestone ' and Goodrich
companies have opposed the elections
now ordered, maintaining that condi
tions in their plants are satisfactory
and that electioneering In rival unions
would only disturb the peace among the
workers.
D o n a ld r . r ic h b e r g , executive
director of the national emergency
council and now'perhaps the Presi
dent’s chief adviser, addressing the As
sociated Grocers of America at their,
convention in New York, proposed the
creation of a new federal body, com
bining functions of the NRA and the
federal trade commission, to define and
regulate concerted trade action In the
“twilight zone” under antitrust laws.
Discussing the program for perma
nent NRA legislation, he reiterated his
opposition to control of prices and pro
duction. He said the fixing of mini
mum ^wages 'and -maximum hours>had
demonstrated its soundness for elimi
nating the worst forms of unfair com
petition In treatment of employees, and
that admittedly dishonest business prac
tices should be proscribed. '
PHILADELPHIA lawyers are tradl-
tlonaliy supposed to. be able to
unravel the worst of tangles, so Presi
dent Roosevelt has picked one to be
chairman of thq na
tional labor relations
board. He is Francis
Biddle, of the famous
family of that name,
and he succeeds Lloyd
Garrison, who re--
tired from the chair
manship to resume his
duties as dean of the
law school of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
Francis Biddle has
been engage^ In law
practice as a member of the Phila
delphia firm of Barnes, Biddle, and
Meyers. He Served from 1922 to 1920
as assistant district attorney* for the
eastern district of Pennsylvania. In
his new post his task will be the set-'
tlement of labor disputes arising out
of the recovery act, especially those
involving collective bargaining.

FRANCE is worried by the admitted
fact that Germany has developed a
military air fleet of considerable size,
composed of modern pursuit and bomb
ing planes, and Gen. Victor Denain,
French minister of air, estimates that
by January the reich will have from'
1,000 to 1,100 of these machines, swift
er arid better than those possessed by
France. Consequently he has asked the
chamber of deputies for about $230,-
000,000 to finance a program for re
covering the ground lost by French
aviation. The task Is already under
way, $32,500,000 having been spent out
of an appropriation for modernization.
HUGH It. WILSON, American am
bassador to Switzerland, laid be
fore the disarmament conference In
Geneva a proposal by the United
States for. international control of
arms traffic'and full publicity to pre
vent secret arming of nations. The
proposal was well received by most
of the delegates, and it will be studied
by committees in January^
By the American plan each govern
ment would license Its manufacturers
of munitions for five year periods. No
reserve stocks would be allowed and
manufacturers would be required to
present bona fide orders before receiv
ing a license. Details of war vessels
built for other nations would have to
be reported. Reports of licenses and
orders would be turned over to a cen
tral committee'at Geneva and: made
a matter of public record. A perma
nent commission,' including a mem
ber from' each signatory nation, would
be empowered to investigate transac
tions.
' ^ ‘OTABLES of the Catholic church
gathered In Chicago from - all
parts of the world to take part In the
silver jubilee of Cardinal Mundelein,

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is revel
ing in baths and rest at Warm
Springs, Ga., but he is not neglecting
the nation’s business, keeping In close
touch with Washington and receiving
many official visitors. At his first press
conference there he announced with
glad smiles that- he would again “lend
his birthday,” January 80, to the na
tional committee that arranges birth
day balls all over the country for the
benefit of Infantile paralysis sufferers.
COMPTROLLER GENERAL J. R.
M’CARL has thrown a monkey-
wrench into part of the machinery of
Relief Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins. Turning down a check from Hop
kins to the officials of the District of
Columbia which was to have- started
work on a housing development, Mr.
McCarl held that the federal emergen
cy relief act, providing for the grant
ing of funds for various relief , pur
poses, could not apply to the acquisi
tion of real estate and the construc
tion of homes. This type of activity,
he said, would be of a permanent and
not an emergency nature, and the act
was adopted to meet emergencies.
The FERA already has under way
a program of “rehabilitating” 80,000
farm families In homes and on land
to be sold to them by the government
MORE and more it becomes evident
that President Roosevelt intends
to pursue a middle of the road policy
inZbis efforts for national recovery, and
that In the over
whelmingly Democrat
ic next congress, there'
will be no one faction
strong enough to die-'
tate to him. The Chief
E x e c u tiv e and the
business leaders of
the country are grad
ually coming together,
and if and when they
reach an accord on
methods it will be
Silas Strawn f0Un(j that a good
many of the more radical ideas of the
brain trusters .wlll have been discard
ed. The best minds In Industry and
finance--are no longer. standing back
and merely criticizing. They are tak
ing an active part in planning for the
future welfare of the nation. Here
with are summarized some of the- im
portant new developments In this di
rection:
President Henry L' Harriman of the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
In pursuance of a resolution adopted
by the board of directors, has appoint
ed a committee of six riien, headed by
Silas Strawn of Chicago, to co-operate
with other business and agricultural
associations In drafting plana for the
recovery of business. The board of the
chamber endorsed the' continuation of
relief and housing, but ,,signified that
business is still opposed to. the unbal
anced budget, further reduction of
working., hours as embodied In the
movement for a 30-hour week, new and
unprecedented outlays for public
works, continuance of the NRA, the
doctrine of majority rule In collective
bargaining, and unemployment insur
ance.
Through, the National Association of
Manufacturers, Invitations were sent"
to every manufacturer. In the United
States to attend a national Industrial
conference In New York on December
5 to draft “constructive recommenda
tions” for presentation to President
Roosevelt.
In a petition addressed to the Presi
dent and congfess the National Econ
omy league has presented a definite
program for balancing the federal bud
get in the. coming fiscal year, holding
that only by balancing the budget can
sustained national recovery be accom
plished. The petition proposes heavy'
'reductions in government expenditures
and additional taxes totaling $935,000,-
000.
N OT so pleasing to the industrialists
were the two speeches the-Presi
dent delivered during his inspection of
the Tennessee valley project, for if, his
predictions are borne out, his “revolu
tion” will bring about the death of pri
vate enterprise In the power industry.
At Tupelo, Miss., he declared himself
flatly for public ownership of public
utilities, saying: “What you are do-,.
Ing here is going t» be copied in every!
state In ..the UBlo.n before we are'
through” ; the allusion being to the
fact that Tupelo has contracted for
TVA power.
In Birmingham the President said:
“I am aware that a few of your citizen
ry are leaving no stone unturned to
block and harass and delay this great
national program. I am confident,
however, that these obstructionists, few
In number in comparison with the
whole population, do not reflect the
views of the overwhelming majority.."
“I know, too, that the Overwhe1Im-
Ing majority of your business men, big
and lfttle, .are in hearty accord ;.wifli;
the great undertaking of regional plan
ning now being carried forward.”
FORTY-FIVE new bills were pushed
through .tlie Louisiana legislature
In five days with Senator Huey Long
on the rostrum telling the legislators
just what to do, but seldom-stopping
to tell them' why. The “Klngfish” says
he now is in position to make the state
a Utopia, or rather, In his own words, '
“the kind of state nobody has dreamed
of.” . It ip the general, belief that he
hopes his .“share the wealth” program
will ultimately land him. In the White
House,.;' '■
The-, senator's most ambitious legis
lation is the statute proclaiming a two-
year moratorium, for harassed debtors..
Another bill sets up a civil. service
commission, composed of state admin-'
istratioh leaders, with power to re-"
move police and fire chiefs: That will
give Long; contrpl of virtually all nro-
Dicijpal PQUcemen and - flremeniV ‘ Long*
said the bill was intended to take them
“out of politics.’*

Washington.—Administration plans
and policies appear to be ,undergoing
a shaking down proc-
Shake-Up ess. Safely passing
Pnlieies the electio n s andin FoUCies wIth no n e ed to
make moves solely to please particu
lar segments of voters the President
appears to have started getting rid of
duplication in the various alphabetical
agencies of the government Further,
many conservatives are taking some
hope out of other "administrative ac
tions lately and are willing to believe
that the shake-up among the many
emergency groups along with White
House pronouncements may possibly
indicate a slight return toward what
they regard as sounder fundamentals.
In a move held by many observers
to’ indicate an attempt by the Pres
ident to eliminate some waste the
President has brought under one su
pervisory control all of the agencies
lending government money. .It may
be surprising to know that there are
ten important federal offices engaged
In loaning money. Tliey have been
operating largely on their own pro
grams. No attempt has been made
heretofore to co-ordinate their efforts.
The result has been conflicting policies
and undoubtedly waste In results.
The !President now proposes that
this shall end. He has named the com
mittee for the defined purpose of es
tablishing uniform policy respecting
government loans and has declared
with emphasis that the duplication
must be eliminated.
Some leaders In and out of the gov
ernment construed this action as in
dicating a ,conviction by the Presi
dent that there were-too many-agen
cies floating around doing odd jobs
without restraint Others believed
that Mr. Roosevelt was making an hon
est effort to bring some semblance of
order out of chaos In the hope that
eventually expenses can be reduced
thereby.
In support • of this view was the ac
tion taken by the Home Owners’ Loan
corporation which has; cut off further
loaning on homes. In announcing its
action the home loan board said it be
lieved government aid In this direc
tion was no longer necessary, thus in-
ferentially at least saying that some
recovery had taken place.
The home loan agency is among
those placed under cabinet committee
control. It will begin immediately to
shrink its organization, turning, loose
eventually a total of 28,000 workers.
The Reconstruction Finance corpor
ation, another one of the groups which
will be guided by cabinet committee
policy hereafter,’ has announced it will
not seek additional funds from the
forthcoming session of congress. Bor
rowers who have been using that-
agency will "be accommodated further,
of course, in accordance with the
terms of their obligations but the
whole tendency will be to eut down
on new loans.
And so it is for the first time In the
current administration we are witness^
Ing a shrinkage, rather than an expan*,
sion, In governmental facilities set up
as a part of the recovery program of
the New Dealers.
* * *
Along with the establishment of the
loan policy committee, there came an
order from the treas-May Export ury, b e a r in g Mr.
Currency Roosevelt’s approval,
which oince again al
lows unrestricted exports of currency,
but not gol8 or silver metal. Hereto
fore It has been necessary for private
business to obtain a specific license
from1 the treasury before it could ship
currency abroad In settlement of ob
ligations. This move is expected to
have far-reaching consequences because
it lifts from business, one of those an
noying red tape'procedures to which
business always objects and a kind
of_ transaction that has never crept
Into private business In any way.
Gold and silver, both having been
nationalized under the New Deal, must
stay In this country. Gold must stay
In the coffers of the treasury. Never
theless, from many sources I hear fa
vorable comment on the relaxation of
the restrictions, on movement of cur
rency because it is generally believed
the action will have a psychological
benefit Many persons will feel that
if the -government at -Washington .is
willing to permit shipment of current
cy abroad, there is no reason to fear
embaiTassIng- Situations as a matter
of dealing In currency. Of course, ob
viously,-the confidence hitherto repos
ing In our dollar by foreigners cannot
be fully restored as long as gold can
not be shipped but the present change
admittedly improves the situation. It
should be explained that the treasury
still keeps Its fingers on the currency
movement; and that It has the author
ity, to'slajp on an embargo again when
ever it sees fit This appears to be
unlikely, however, as long as Interna
tional trade re,tains anything like Its
present stability. Indeed, experts 'W
clare that greater stability in, Interna-
tlonal trade ought to be one of the re
sults and the treasury is obviously
looking for that end- to be served.'
In some quarters the lifting of the
ban on currency exports was accept
ed as meaning that Mr. Roosevelt is
ntjt. entertaining any thought of fur-’
ther devaluation of tie currency.' - He
may have to give .consideration to that
proposition after congress comes'back
of
because there are half a hundred sen
ators and . representatives who are
avidly pursuing the inflation phantom.
They think this will solye the coun
try’s economic problems and they can
be counted on to bear down w ith,their
ideas, when the -forum of congress
again Is opened to them. \
Whatever these men may do, It is
pointed out now, Mr. Roosevelt would
be only complicating his own problems
by allowing free Interchange of cur
rency at this time if he had any
thought In mind of changing the dol
lar value In the not too distant future.
* • ■ *
With the time only a month away
for selection by the Democrats of their
tandldate for speak- Speakership er of the house—se-
Ftght lection that means
■ election—the speak
ership fight Is attracting much atten
tion. Heat is being shown and ene
mies are being created In every direc
tion. There are at least a'dozen mem
bers of the house who figure or hope
that the Democratic caucus to be
held late In December will pick their
name for one of the honor post.s,
speaker,, majority floor, leader or chair
man of the rules committee. A t the
moment one can deal only with possi
bilities,'for the stage of probabilities
Is yet In the distance.
Although, as I said, the fight Is wide
open there are certain straws that
tend to show the way the wind la
blowing. T here' are certain back
grounds and conditions as well that
nrast be accepted as having a mean
ing.
For example, Representative Byrnes
of Tennessee, -the Democratic leader,
while the late Mr. Rainey was speak
er, normally would' be . expected to be
chosen as speaker. But Mr. Byrnes ia
not sure. In fact, there are many ob
servers who declare'that the odds -are
against him. For instance, he was hot
invited aboard the President’s special
train to make the recent trip to H ir-
rodsburg, Ky.
There is a row brewing between th«
North and the South. Northern Dem
ocrats resent what they regard aa
southern domination of the house.
Consequently, some of the harmoi Iz-
ers are attempting to effect a d sal
whereby the speakership will go to
the South and the post of majority
leader^ be filled by a northern Demo
crat.
In this , combination the names
Representatives Rayburn of T eias
and McCormack of Massachusetts, Ig-
ure most prominently. However, tiis
arrangement has vulnerable spots )e-
cause there are many other southern
Democrats, who feel they are entitled
to consideration,' and they - may not
be satisfied with such a CombihatiplD.
On top of all this, is- a statement
from White House quarters that the
President will remain aloof. Mr.
Roosevelt considers the speakership
fight solely a house matter, but it must
be added that the President’s pro
nouncement has not deterred some of
his satellites. A dozen or more New
Dealers>- are active, and'some say t iat
.they have agreed on .Mr. Rayburn tad
Mr. McCormack. If that be true I Ir.
Roosevelt is In a tough spot unless he
wants to declare openly that he d>es
not favor Mr. Rayburn and Mr. Mc
Cormack. In which event he is ex
pected to antagonize their support srs.
* * * I
The responsibility which the admin
istration carries In having such cbm-
j . plete control of gov-
! Borah ernmental machinery
i Criticizea 1103 its thorny cush-
j ion despite the abil
ity to muster a two-thirds majority In
both the house and the senate. One
ofi the sharpest of the thorns appar
ently is -Senatpr WiHlam;;E. Boiahlof
Idaho, Progressive' Republican. Mr.
Borah always has played a lone hand
in: the senate and he apparently is go
ing to do so again. I
The first harpoon which the Idaho
senator has thrown was directed, at
the relief policies pressed through and
administered by professional reliever s.
Mr. Borah says there is an enormot s
amount of waste In connection with
the relief activities. He - says theie
are thousands af superfluous jobs b s-'
ing maintained out of relief funds un
der the guise of distributing tie
money. He has called - attention E s
well to the lack of co-ordination an a
the apparent inability of the relit r
heads to arrive at uniform bases f« r
ministering, to the destitute. Havln s
begun the fight well in advance of th *
opening of congress Mr. Borah can b
expected , to give it momentum fro:
time to time so-that when it reachu
the floors of congress it can be count
ed on to be" more than a- puff ball.
Of. course,1 the administration ha-
fought to ward off just such attacks.
as-Mr; BoraK has inaugurated, .by an
nouncement Of employment plans and
transfer of unemployed from relief
r(}lls to work rolls. I reported to you
several weeks ago that: Mr. RMsevelt
-favored elimination of the dole - and
the creation of work for which the
t>reseiit unemployed" would be paid;
Yet It Is being pointed out In
quarters here that pursuit of such a
plan as the President has In nilnd re-
Snlres-an ,ImmengV; amount of study.
Otherwise IfcIs Iiable to flop and If It
goes off half-cocked, undoubtedly th*
criticism will .be?more vigorous.

Cotton Association Official ^
• Urges Slow Marketing of Crop
Writing in the current issue of the
Southern Culticalorr-Col. Harne Joj-
dan, managing director of The Ameri
can Cotton Association and BetterFanning Campaign advises farmers to
‘market the cotton crop slowly.”
"I have always urged a slow move
ment of the cotton crop to marker,”
writes-Col. Jordan, “But the farmers
generally heretofore have been finan
cially unable to adopt sound and con
servative methods in marketing the
staple. But this highly important mar
keting feature xan now be put into
operation with the financial backing
of the federal farm administration in
guaranteeing loans on cotton held on
the farm or in public warehouses."
Col. Jordan has been known for
many years as a man with a keen in
terest in better farming methods. The
advisory board of Ius association is
composed of many prominent growers
throughout the Southeast In the same
article, Col. Jordan says 'that the
drouth in the West makes it impera
tive for the South-to grow small grains
this season and goes on to mention the
importance of top-dressing, “no mat
ter what kind of fertilizer is used at
planting.” ^ ,
■ Concerning the important question
iof what nitrate of soda to use, al
though Col. Jordan does not go into
-the subject in this particular article,
his views !are well-known. Hundreds
of field tests have indicated to him
that American nitrate Of soda- has
everything that can be asked for. ’Re
sults show that rare elements, as
found in imported soda have no value,

Killings and cripplings by auto
mobiles, much of the former of *he
murderous kind, should not be per-
milted to become commonplace, ac
cepted as ‘ act of God” in the sense
that they can’t be prevented On
the idea that line upon line may
eventually penetrate the indiffer
ence, as the continual dropping of
the’ water will wear away the stone
here is presented the report of kill
ings and cripplings for the ten
months of 1934. It is thrust on at
tention not as something new but
as something that should be kept
in mind, before the mind's eye.
For tbe ten months motor ve
hides killed 2 8 . 4 0 0 and wounded
7 4 0 , 0 0 0 in the United States. The
machines didn’t do all this execu
tion and crippling of their own
motion and voluntarily. They were
mishandled by humans, in most
cases at least. At the present rate
it is estimated that the death roll
for Jhe year will be 3 6,0 0 0 , which
would be 3 , 0 0 0 more than the last
highest year—1 9 3 1 —and the in
crease over last year would be ap
proximately 5 .0 0 0 . It need not be
so many however. The 3 6 , 0 0 0 isn’t
a goal to be reached. It could be
materially rekuced in the month re
maining, .when the harvest is expect
ed to be large, :f the folks who de
plore the record would quit deplor
ing and take action—with a club if
that is necessary to restrain.
Two-three years ago much of the
blame for wrecks was being laid on
cars mechanically unfit, since few
new cars were being bought and
more old ones-used,^ Persons and.
papers, instigated by automobile
dealers, were-clamoring for unfit
cars to be taken off the road. It is
well to take notice that motor ve
bicle wrecks went to new IowS in
1932-3, when most old machines
were in use But come 1 9 3 4, with
tbe enormous sales of new cars, and
there is a tremendous, inc. ease in the
number of wrecks A fact finding
analysis of the wrecks would prob
ably show that the new ^ars, geared
to unreasonable and highly danger-
peed, are the greatest con-

cause of the killings and cripplings
and there should be a law—unwrit

that are least responsible. If folks
wouid drive decent—and the worst

better or quit if the law enforcement

Vandenburg Roasts
BossJim Farley.
The double duty of Boss Jim
Farley as post master general and
chairman of the National Demo-
ct atic Executive Commitiee was hit
with a broadside by Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan, who
had returned to Wasbingtdn from
Uis home where he was re elected in’
the^ecent voting.
Vandenberg suggested Farley
quit one of his “absolutely incom
patible” jobs, said he possibly was
violating the law by appealing for
half a million dollars to pay off the
DemocraticdeficitbyJanuary 1 , ana
warned his “ Democratic frieuds”
who are federal office holders that
they a]so would ran afoul of the
lawiftheycontributed “one penny”
to that fund while Farley had charge
of it.
The Michigan senator made his
criticism in an interview regarding
Republican party’ reorganization
and the part he expected to play in
it in view of his liberal standing and
his escape from the^ recent Demo
cratic landslide.
He refused to discuss what sotne
called his prospects for the 1 9 3 6
presidential nomination. He con
tended the Republican party, how.
ever, was very far fiom dead.
Proposing an adjournment of
politics and a “virtual coaltion”
government with a continuation of
non-partisan consideration of all
sound recovery measures, he added:
'‘Since the President himself asks
for this type of non-partisan con
sideration —and.he’.s.euti.tled i0 have,
it—the non-partisan rule ought to
work both ways.
“ But it can’t work both ways so
long as the post master general of
the United States and the operator
of the clearing house thru which all.
jobs are filled is run by the chair
man of the Democratic national
committee.
'Ttbecomesmore and more ob
vious that Mr. Farley holds abso
lutelt incompatible positions and it
is no defense to say that the post-
office department w is a political
department under Republican ad
ministrations because two wrongs
don’t make a rtght.
. “Furthermore, it certainly would
be a paradox for the new deal to
be defended on any precents quot
ed from the old deal.”
The Michigan senator said a
"tangible example” of the “em
barrassment and confusion that at-?
taches to Farley’s joint service”
was his recent appeal for $5 0 0 ,0 0 0
to pay off the party debt.
He emphasized that the call went
out from Farley and not from the
national committee treasurer." He
then cited section 2 0 8 of the crimi
nal code declaring it unlawful for
any office holder directly or indir
ectly to solicit, receive, or be in
any manner concerned with solicit
ing-or receiving subscriptions or
contributions for any political pur
pose from any other government
employe"
Discussing Republican charges;
the federal money had been used to
influence voters, Vandenberg said,
j. Austin Latimer, special assistant
to the postmaster general “ show
ed up in Detroit a week before the
election and turned the 4 sod for a
new parcel post building.for which
plans had not-been drawn, and the
whole first page. of__his -mimeo
graphed speech was a straight out
appeal for Democratic votes with
the plain implication that was the
only wav.-toftgebi the parcel ,post.
building ” -
“If they are willing ,.to .be-, that
brazen it doesn’t take much ima
gination to believe they would go
further.” he added
After denying that.the G. O. r.
is "a dead party, as Farley indi
cates,” Vandenberg- added ■

One would not ordinarily look for
poetry in anything -labeled “Office
of the Postmaster General, Dept.
Bull. 16538;” but that just goes to
show how much one ordinarily miss
es in this life; For beneath the se
verely official exterior of this docu
ment one discovers our Mr. Farley
addressing a pastoral letter to his
postmasters on the subject—could
one have guessed it?, —of Christmas
presents. And one can well under
stand that Christmas presents, at
just this moment, are a subject close
to Mr. Farley’s heart. It is true
that the bulletin begins with the
fleeting recognition of a grim’truth:
“Experience has proven that many
parcels intended as Cnristmas gifts
are not delivered before Christmas
Day,” due to lots of things, includ
ing delayed trains and causes “which
the mailer cannot control." But
what i 8 experiehc? Mr.. Farley
sweeps on: ,
To the recipient, especially the
young boy or girl, it may mean the
cherished hope pf months blasted,
disappointment and sorrow pervad
ing a young life at Christmas time.
As delayed remembrances fai!v to
fulfil the spirit for which they are
intended, the Post Office Depart
ment, the public’s messenger of
sympathy and love, will, deliver all
parcels received in time for delivery
on Christmas Day.
This is very beautiful of Mr. Far
ley. Now we understand about

penditures. In putting them out

Had His Notion About Tt
It was just one of a number of
cases in court here last week. The
man was seeking a divorce on the
basis of two years separation from
his. wife. A lto f the ,preliminaries
had been attended to, and the man
himself was on tbe stand:
“ How many children have you?",
judge Stack inquired. -
“Two,” the man-replied.
“ Where are they?”
“Over in another state with
their mother.” -
I recken you’ll have to wait for
another judge,” said the -jurisi, “I
take it that that little woman is
over there supporting those children
and I just can’t see my way .clear
to pave the way for their daddy to
take another-wife. ’Mr. Clerk, call
the - next case.” —which happened
to be somebody wanting a divorce.
- Judge Stack leaves the bench at
the end of his present term. He
goes on the shelf after many years
of service. He has made an able
a&d efficient jurist honest and sin
cere; if at times a little touchousi
If his popularity has suffered it has
been because he wouldn’t bend his

and this ought to be a virtual coali
tjon government As far as I’m
concerned I’m vastly more inter
esled at the moment in what’s go
ing to happen tOithe country . than
in what’s going to happen to the
Republican party, ■
“■Any proposition the President
submits regarding-recovery: -should

a^Democi atic President and there

It is rumored in Washington that--
certain of the Administratrnn. econo
mic medicine men are contemplating
a direct Federal stimulant to indus
trial production through the pur
chase of standard manufactured
goods turned out excess of the cur
rent public demand until the output
reaches “normal.” Tbisis only’ too
likely to be well founded. Mr.Dor-
ald Richberg has at least partially
confirmed the report that the great
feverish minds which thought-up the
formulae for the New’ Deal nostdums
that have heretofore benumbed; this
sick nation’s vitals are so occupied.
He knows; so it would be a waste of
psychic .energy to hope that this' ex
ceptionally dangerous prescription is
not going to come’into the hands of
the supreme dispenser. There is stilll ‘
room for hope, however, that He wilh
read it 'a little more closely and
thoughtfully than he has, some of
the earlier concoctions of his ecbnr-
mic voodooists before hafills it and
passes it out. ; ;
Tbfs Federal investment is sug
gested, as a remedy for industrial
unemployment. The purpose of it
is to create an artificial demand ■ for
for goods which the public presum
ably wants-but.either can not or-will
bvy, and thereby to prompt employ
ers to take on four or five million
hands/which they are reluctant to.
do at their own or their stockholders’
or creditors’ risk. The morale of
the re-employed millions, it is right
ly pointed out, would be much bet
ter than under any kind of:relief
system. The recovery of jobs would
give them courage to spend and con
sume.-more liberally, progressively
reducing the slack between current
and “normal’’.demands that thegov-
ernment would have to take -up As_
a TreasorT'ri^Tlfie'r^cdhlti' not he”,
any heavier drain through fosses, it
is aihgVu, iban ihirC isjana.will
otherwise, continue to be. through
direct relief. Whether thiS last con
tention is sound or not does not. ma‘- .
ttar, for the greatest p asible loss to
the Treasury; ill as the taxpayer can
afford it, would not be the greatest,
damage done. •’ ’„ „
First of all, imagine the political
hornets’ nest that Washington’s
economic fixers would have in their,
hands when they begiii' to fix the
“normal” consumption of any mani'-
factored article, v The tax-paying
shingle manufacturer would bittei-
Iy deplore the government’s invest
ment in pear) buttons to bring the
button industry up up ,to the degree-'
of prosperity that it ebjiyed when
product was most fashionable, but
he would tear the welkin in anguish
if the Federal purchasers did . not
restore the demand ’for shingles to
that of the pre depression real estate
boom. •' •
Yet these troubles would be ss
nothing when compared with those
that would arise when the Federal,
wholesalers began to .taik of the- dis
position of their Wares. . No sale
could ever be made, that both-capi
tal and labor would not pronounce
ruinously competitive Among man-
ufacturers guaranteed a "n’ortrial”
market in. any .event . advertising,
competitive' salesmanship, research
for the sake of improvement and
the eager consultation of changing
popular tastes would go-completely’
ou£of fashion.r' ’.'C iffle‘’and get it
if you want it; ,take it or leave it*
if you don’t.buy it the government
will,” would be the attitude of' the
manufacturer to the mernhant ;and
the consumer; T'
But all this is laboring the obvious.
The first andrlast . thing to::be; 'said •
about this and every other ingenious
“brain trust!” devices for suppljfing
artificial respiration or synthetic nu
triment to AmeHcan .business, is that
they are all.designed to liven up the
digestive prncesses.of a patient, wno
is too scared to eat. The more they
“dope’’ him with their panaceas, the
worse be is frightened, -the less he
eats and the weaker he gets; - -The

For muffins we use a thicker bat
ter, like a thick cake mixture. The
plain muffins are mixed very quickly,
tie dry Ingredients sifted and mixed
together, the egg and ItquId well
tailed. I like to pour the first mix
ture all at one time into the others
and then stir until smooth. Last of
all, the melted fat, cooled a little
after being melted, is added. When
muEns are made in this way they
are rather coarse grained. If you
wish a finer grain, cut the fat into
the fiour, nr cream with the sugar.
For rich muffins the latter method
is used and we actually get tea
cates. Blueberries in summer, and
dates or raisins iD winter are the
fruits most often used • in muffins.
This mixture Is sometimes baked In
me cake and called sally iunn.
Bran muffins are great favorites
at present. Molasses is often used
as the sweetening with them. They
lave a nutty flavor that Is much
liked, ,
Baking powder is usually used to
raise muffins. As the eggs are few
the amount of baking powder Is
comparatively larger; the less fat
used, the more baking powder Ik
needed for tender muffins.
Sometimes sour milk or buttermilk
and soda are used as leavening. The
proportion Is one-half teaspoon to
each cup of sour milk. As we can
not be perfectly certain of the
amount of acid in the milk I like to
add one teaspoon of baking powder
to plain muffins or one-half teaspoon
to rich muffins in addition.
Mullins need a moderate oven, 375
degrees Fahrenheit, and when they
are of medium size they should bake
about 25 minutes. Smaller muffins
will bake In 15 or 20 minutes.

To the plain muffin recipe add one-
half cup seedless raisins or three-

muffin recipe or the bran muffins are
particularly good when fruit is add
ed. If baked in very small muffin
pans these fruit muffins are well
adapted for serving at afternoon

The inventions of two Civil war
time scientists who were born at
least a half century too early—and
thus lost millions of dollars of po
tential earnings—have been discov
ered.
AVhat had they achieved?
AVell, one of them—S. .B. Calthorp
of Roxbury, Mass.—obtained a pat
ent on a streamline railroad some
seventy years ago, the same type of
bullet-shaped car that is today’s lat
est transportation development, Jack
Diamond tells us, in the Chicago
Daily News.
■ And the other inventor, J. K. Barry
of Philadelphia, ten years before that
—in 1855—was granted a patent on
an air-conditioning and cooling sys
tem for passenger cars. The first
air-conditioned train was actually in
troduced by the Baltimore & Ohio
almost three-quarters of a century
later, In 1929.
Explanation for the long interval
between issuance of the patents and
actual materialization was given by
the man who called attention to the
ancient patents.
“Barry and Calthrop were certain
ly pioneer inventors and, like many
pioneers, were far ahead of their
time,” stated Charles L. Howard, as
sistant general counsel for the West
ern Railroad association.
“They plnnted the seeds'for air-
conditioning and streamlining of
trains, But it took the opportune mo
ment and skilled engineers to culti
vate the seeds to a successful growth
as they are today.
“For many years following tne
days of Barry and Calthorp comfort
and speed of travel were not the im
portant things.
“It was only necessary that we
be moved from place to place with
out the loss of limb or life.
“Today it Is different. We demand
in addition to safet$ the utmost com
fort and a mile-or-two-a-minute
pace, and we are getting It. In every
today’s fleet chromium bullet-shaped
trains.
Barry’s application, dated May 15,
1855, recites how he “invented-a new
and useful machine for effectually
ventilating and cooiing railroad cars,
omnibuses, stages, and other closed
vehicles, and for ventilating and cool
ing public and private buildings, in
whole or in part, steamboats, steam
ships and sailing vessels.”
The Pennsylvania inventor did not
yet know about the airplane, or he
probably would have suggested that,
too.
He would keep things cool by a
system of pulleys attached to the
wheels of the train, which operated
fans and water -wheels, revolving be
hind a box packed with ice and then
dispatching the cool air along an air
tube.

Ruins May Disclose Age of
Monte Alban.
line of industry there are Barrys and
Calthrops. We scan their early in
ventions and say with truth that
there is nothing fundamentally new
under the sun.”
Mr. Howard stated the two pat
ents are believed to be the first in
their respective fields.
To illustrate^ their age, the Barry
patent is numbered 12,851 In the
United States patent files; the Cal-
thorp patent bears No. 49,227. And
up to this time there has been pat
ents issued to the number of 1,962,-
109.
In his application, Calthrop cited
the speed retardent caused by* wind
resistance. “To diminish this atmo
spheric resistance,” he declared, “Is
the object of my invention.”
The attainable speed of the 1865
“streamliner” is not stated, but in
most external-respects- it resembles
Will America’s football stadiums
and -baseball diamonds become im
portant aids to understanding our
civilization a thousand years or so
from now? asks the writer of a bul
letin from Science Service. This
comes to mind, he says, with the
news that archeologists in Mexico
have placed the age of a seemingly
ageless city by taking note of its ball
games.
The city is the famous Monte Al
ban, today a maze of buried ruins
perched on a mountain ridge. Monte
Albatf gained its widest modern
fame when Mexican archeologists
entered a tomb there and found a
group of prehistoric dignitaries
buried In shining golden regalia.
But to the archeologists, whose first
question about a place-is “How
old is it?” Monte Alban remained
a mystery. The treasure tomb dis
covery added to the enigma, for it
was “foreign” cache belonging to an-
other culture deposited there for
some reason not yet • discovered,
Dated tombs are being found In
Monte Alban, but archeologists can
not yet read Zapotec Indian hiero
glyphs, as they can Aztec and Mayan
ones. Excavations of three seasons
seemed to throw the dead city fur
ther and further back in time with
out a definite clue as to when It was
a living metropolis,. Now there is a
clue. This Is a tlachtli, or ball court.
Tlachtli was a widespread Indian
game played apparently for both
sport and religion. Frans Blom1
archeologist of,„ Tulane university,
has found .JbaU courts In Mayan
cities dating from, early centuries of
the Christian era In Chiapas and
Guatemala. The game changed
somewhat in the course of ten or
fifteen centuries, to judge by the
courts In northern Yucatan known to
date from a few centuries before
America’s discovery. ~
' AU courts have an H-shaped space
to play in. Very old ones of the
South had several round altars in
the center, tfnd the side walls en
closing- the field sloped. Northern
courts lost their altars as centuries
went by, their side walls became
vertical, and big stone, rings were
placed in them for. the ball to go
through. The Monte Alban Court
seems to fall between these types, as
its walls, still slope and are with
out a stone ring, although it had
already lost all but one of its cen
tral altars. It is therefore likely
that Monte Alban was occupied a
thousand years ago.
Butcher Shop “De Luxe”
Late Paris Innovation
Although the meat trade has
taken advantage of many scientific
inventions, butchers’ shops still pre
sent a somewhat gruesome appear
ance. A Paris doctor has now taken
the first step towards hygienic meat
shops, and has opened one himself.
He has proved that it is possible to
market clean, germ-proof meat, free
from any fear of infection. His
salesmen are clad from head to
foot in spotless white tunics,' very
much 'like those worn by surgeons.
On their hands are antiseptic rub
ber gloves. The salesmen and meat
are enclosed in a huge glass cham
ber in which the air, continually re
newed and filtered is always at a
temperature of 45 degrees F. No
customers are allowed in, but they
can see, distinctly, everything that
is going on inside. They are fur
nished with complete price . lists,
and communicate with the men In
side through microphones and loud
speakers. The owner is now col
laborating with the inventor of s .;
patent “skin.” Olhis is a liquid which,
when applied - over any article,
forms a “skin” which prevents con
tamination from germs and foreign
matter. It provides the second line
of defense to the germ-proof paper
bags In which the meat is. packed.

How Calotabs Help Nature :
To Throw OfiF a Bad Cold
Millions have found in Calotabs a most valuable aid in the treatment of colds. They take one or two tablets, the first night and repeat the third or fifth night if needed.How do, Calotabs help Nature throw off a cold? First, CalotaBs are One of the most thorough and dependable of all intestinal eliminants, thus cleansing-the-intestinal tract of the germ-ladeh mucus and toxines.
Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the blood. Thus Caiotabs serve the double purpose of a purgative and diuretic, both of which are needed in the treatment of odds.Calotabs are quite economical; only twenty-five cents for the family package, ten cents for the trial package.

"Wait till one of these old drivers

"Are you a cowboy?"
"Didn’t young Barnes tell you who

to her.
" t grasped that you were a stranger

men- and that your mere reputation
was enough out here’to. keep rustlers
and desperadoes away from Star
ranch. Mr. Wall, you certainly are a
hero In his eyes."
It did not take great perspicuity to
grasp that Jim was not far from that
in her eyes. He groaned in spirit.
“I see that you will not tell me
about yourself." she went on. Pardon
my Inquisitiveness. But I -must Inform
you that I expect to go into the ranch

will be working for me, then, as well.

Look, Miss Herrick. We-re on top
at last. There s your- country. The

pass to Star ranch. That purple

streaks—that s the desert ”
Ah-h-h! she had cried out- breath
lessly.
Jim halted the horses and gazed-
himself trying to see with this stran
gers eyes. He had more—-a feeling
that it would not be long until the
open wasteland claimed him again
to r him the bursting of one of the
Henry peaks into volcanic eruption
would be no more startling than what
would accrue from the advent of this
white-faced, golden-haired woman
Jim drove down the hill, and again
put the blacks to -a keen gait on a
level road, this time a straight, white
line across a longer valley. Jim cal
culated that he would beat the time he
had declared, and reach star ranch be
fore sundown.
When he drove past Heeseman’s
camp all that worthy’s outfit were-at
supper. The road passed within fifty
feet of their chuck wagon
-What a ruffianly crew!" murmured
Miss Herrick. Who. pray, are these
men?"
Part of the outfit your brother
hired to protect his cattle from
rustlers.” replied Jim. "Funny thing
about that is they are rustlers them
selves."
"Deliciously funny, though hardly so
for Bernie. Does he know it?"
"Not to my knowledge. Heeseman—
the leader of that gang—came on his
own recommendation and got the Job."
"I'll have the fun of telling Bernie
. . . Oh. what’s that. . . . What an
enormous barn! - All yellow. And a
new one going up. Logs and logs. . . .
Look at the horses! I want to stop.”
"No. Miss Herrick, he replied grim
ly. "I ll drive you home safely or die
m the attempt. . . . Don t look at
this tall man we re coming to."
"Which?” she asked, laughingly,
"The one standing farthest out." re
plied Jim. "He s got on a black som

ward your effort to entertain me.
Jim drove by Havs. who stood apart
from a group of cowboys. If he no
ticed Jim at all. it was totally ob
livious to Jim. But Walls glance,
never so strained, pierced the shadow
under Hays’ dark sombrero.rim to the
strange eyes below. They were not
pale now. Jim s hand clenched tight
on the reins. He became preoccupied
with the nucleus of the first deadly
thought toward Hays.
"Hank Hays. Who is he? Miss Her
rick was saying.
"Another of your brothers vig
ilantes.”
“Ugh! How he stared: • But It

She passed that by. but only perhaps
because she caught sight of the ranch-
house up the slope. Here her en
thusiasm was unbounded. Herrick
stood on the porch steps with his dogs.
He wore high boots and a red coat. He
waved.
Presently JIm reined In the sweating

curious to see the meeting betweer

By the Lord's Supper here Is meant
the bread and the wine used as em
blems of the broken body and shed
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some
Christians think of the Lord's Supper
as a meal of fellowship eaten before
the Institution of the bread and the
cup. To them it means the agape or
love-feast which was practiced in the
early church. Such would prefer to
call this the Communion instead of the
Lord s Supper. With this understand
ing. we can enter into the real under
standing and blessing of the ordinance.
I. The Institution of (v. 23).
1. The time. It was on the night of
the betrayal of the Lord Jesus, after
the betrayer had been announced.
2. Circumstances of (Matt 26:26).
tt was m connection with the eating
of the Passover. At the command of
Jesus the disciples made ready the
Passover, and while they were eating
Jesus took bread, blessed it, and gave
It to them.
3. The elements used. Bread—
doubtless common bread of the Pass-
over feast. The Cup—the fruit of the
vine.
II. Tne Significance of (vv. 24-26.
Cf. MatL 26:26-28).
Jesus took natural and literal ele
ments and made them to be symbols
of his own body and blood.
1. It is a memorial of the Lord (Lk.
22:19). When Jesus Christ left the
world, he left the bread and the cup
for the disciples, by which to remember
him.
2. To show the Lord's sacrificial
death (t. 26). He did not die as a
hero, or as an example of unselfish de
votion. but as a substitutionary ran
som on the cross he made satisfaction
for our sins.
3. It is a guaranty that our sins are
■forgiven (Rom. 4:2o). "It was the sig-
net of the Son of God attached to re
demption."
4. It symbolizes the believer s recep
tion of Christ (I Cor. 10:16). He there
by participates in the body and blood
of Christ becoming a member of his
body.
5- it has a forward look to a com
pleted redemption (v. 26). When faith
in Christ is exercised, redemption be
gins. and its completion will take place
at the coming of Christ (I Tbess. 4:16.
17). The bread and the cup constitute
the keepsake of the Lord until he re
turns.
III. Qualifications for Participation
in the Lord's Supper (vv. 27-29).
I- A proper apprehension of its
meaning (v: 27). hinting and drinking
unworthily primarily refers not to the
demerit of the communicant, but to his
failure to grasp the meaning and im
portance of the ordinance. Only re
generated persons can discern the
Lord's body. Faith In the integrity of
Christ's person and work' is essential.
Anyone who does not believe in the
absolute deity of Christ and his vicari
ous atoneraeDt is an unworthy commu
nicant
2. Church membership (I Cor. 11:18-
22). The Lord's body is the church,
which is composed of regenerated men
and women united to Jesus Christ as
head, and to each other as members
of that body, by the Holy. Spirit
3. An orderly walk. Conduct which
disqualifies for participation in the
Lord's supper:
a. Immorality (I Cor. 5:1-13). It is
most perilous for one who is guilty of
Immorality to approach the Lord s ta
ble (v. 30). Sickness and death are
often visited upon such.
b. Heresy (Titus 3:10: I John 4:2.
8). This means tbat one who holds
false-doctrine is disqualified for par
ticipation in*the communion.
C. A Schismatic. (Rom.-16:17). The
one who stirs up party strife, who
causes divisions In the church, should
be excluded from the Lord s table.
IV: Penalty for Failure to Discern
the Lord’s Body (vv. 30-34).
Approaching the Lords cable un
worthily Issues In the visitation of. sick
ness and death upon the individual.
This seems to be plainly the meaning
of "weak and-sickly among you, and
many sleep." ^ This explains the illness
of many, Christiana ’The way :■To es
cape the, judgment is to judge our
selves.
Patience
Patience means- "to stay under the
burden.” It Is a .call to be loyal to the
difficult task even when'there are open
doors of ^escape. It means -that the
whole man should stay In the hard
place-^heart, head and body.
They Are the Winner*-
AlLthOBe who wear the white- robe
of spiritual purity are.those who have
overcome In the struggle with all that

OW glorious! How wonder
ful! thought Dan. an invita
tion for Christmas! Christ
mas with Rose Marie!
Dan had been an orphan
at the same school with Rose
Marie and a great friendship
had sprung up between
them. She had since been adopted by
a kindly family In the Bast but bad
always kept In touch with her - old
friend. Danny.
Now the Invitation for Christmas.
Dan had never been invited anywhere
for this one great
holiday a n d h is
whole being was
stirred with great
expectation.
Danny had al
ways had a most
pleasant Christmas
at th e' orphanage.
Many generous per
sons had helped
make it so, but he
had never been to
a. real “honest to
goodness” home
Christmas celebra
tion. His heart
leaped with joy.
“Wonder how it will be! Wonder
who’ll be there! Oh boy. I can t wait! -
"Let s see.” pondered Dan. "How old
is Rose Marie? She was twelve when
she left and that was five years ago.
Why she must be seventeen, and a
young lady! Wonder how she looks!
Wonder (f she still blinks those hazel
eyes and shakes her -molasses candy
hair about like she used to do.”
Some days later an atmosphere of
complete. Christmas Joy pervaded the
cozy home of the Gaylords on East
End avenue. The turkey was sizzling
In the oven and the great variety of
Yule cookies were being frosted and.
tinted with the Christmas colors.
Some hours later, all was a hushed
silence as the little family seated about
the lighted tree awaited the gnest of
the evening.
Soon there were footsteps crunching
the snow and the next moment the
loud peal of the doorbell.
Father met Dan with the cordial
welcome of "Merry Christmas, my boy.
I- presume ^his is Danny—our Rose s
old friend from Rye Junction.-
Then Mother and Rose Marie, their
faces wreathed In Chnstmas smiles,
reached- for Dannys outstretched
hands, simultaneously.
Danny had- never In - all the movies
beheld anyone as lovely as Rose Marie.
“Why. Rose Marie,
you. are wonderful,
simply -wonderful!
The same eyes, the
same hair: oh. I— "
"Here: here, you
young people, you
are ■ forgetting it s
Christmaa Merry

Merry Christ m as.

Dad.
Then followed an
“honeBt to good-

Everywhere Danny.’s eyes, rested, it
teemed to say.-ln golden letters. -Mer-

Katherjne Edelman
—I REALLY am nervous,’
Madge Crowell admitted t<
herself as she dropped on<
of the ornaments she wai
hanging on the Christmaf
tree. "Well, who wouldn’t bf
in my place—Ben has been
gone” more then five years—
maybe he ll find me changed—that he’ll
be disappointed. .. . I-—I couldn t beat
that."
"What are you talking to yourself
about?*' A boyish voice spoke at
Madge’s elbow. "Is Christmas having
its effect upon you. or is it the thought
of a certain voung man who is coming
this evening?”
“Both, I guess." Madge answered
lightly. Then, turning to her broth
er. she spoke more seriously. -Richard,
do—do you think. Ben will have
changed very much—do you think he
wiirilke me as well as he used to?"
“Well. I shouldn’t be surprised if he
has become a little bit tanned from
the African climate, or if he has grown
a mustache, or got a bit stouter, but
as to whether he will like you as

Robinson Says President Plans No New Taxes— Franco-
German Agreement Concerning the Saar Reported—

Senator
Robinson
JOE ROBINSON of Arkansas, senate
floor leader, spent four hours In
conference with President Roosevelt at
Warm Springs, and emerged with the
welcome assurance
that the New Deal
program to be pre
sented to congress in
January does not
contemplate the im
position of new taxes
or the substantial in
crease of existing
taxes. He added that
he believed expendi
tures for normal gov
ernment purposes
would be kept well
witbin the national
income. Of course, this does not mean
a balanced budget, for this cannot be
had while enormous sums are being
spent for relief and re-employment,
but the senator would not admit that
the cost of these would go above the
ten-billion-dollar mark.
"Unemployment relief is to be pre
ferred to the dole,” he said. “A rea
sonably conservative program should
be adopted with a view to tapering off
the deficit.”
Senator Robinson said that the bonus
was discussed at some length but no
conclusion was reached. Intimates of
the White House have expressed the
fear that a bonus program calling
for expenditure of more than two bil
lion dollars may be passed over a veto.
Senator Pat Harrison of Uississippi,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee, who was also present at the
conference, left for Washington to be
gin a study of unemployment insur
ance.'
Next day the President’s chief caller
was Secretary of Commerce Daniel G.
Roper, and he told Mr. Roosevelt that
business would move rapidly on the
road to recovery if only it were as
sured of a safe and sane federal pro
gram of expenditures. To correspond
ents Mr. Roper said he was greatly
cheered by Senator Robinson’s state-,
ment. He^felt that the left wing de
mand for vast sums of money for re
lief of the unemployed must be
checked and that there must be a fur
ther shifting of relief control to com
munities.' .......
T ROUBLE over the Saar plebiscite
may be averted after all the alarm,
for it is reported unofficially that Chan
cellor Hitler of Germany and Foreign
Minister Pierre Laval of France have
reached an accord providing that Ger
many will pay for French mining prop
erties In the Saar if France abandons
the effort to keep the region under the
jurisdiction of the League of Nations.
Substance was given this report
when Relchsfuehrer Hitler instructed
all the Nazi propaganda forces In the
Saar to cease their activities. He or
dered that disturbances must be avoid
ed and that the Nazis must rely largely
on the press to keep the swastika fly
ing In the disputed territory after the
plebiscite This would seem to insure
an Impartial vote on January 13.
M1I
JAPAN, having given unofficial notice
that she will withdraw- from the
Washington naval treaty, still seems
to have hope that the United States
and Great Britain will
agree to give her naval
parity. Butjustin case,
she has now invited
France and Italy to
join her In denouncing
the pact Those nations
may consent, but the
two great Anglo-Saxon
nations are as one In
demanding that the 5-
5-3 ratio be maintained.
Representative Carl _
Vinson of Georgia, who Representative
is chairman o f th e ®ar* Hinson
house committee on naval affairs, has
made plain the policy, he will insist
upon.
“I sincerely Hope it will not be nec
essary to scrap the treaty,” he said,
“but it seems now we cannot hope very
strongly for anything else. We cannot
grant naval equality to Japan at any
price. If the Tokyo government does
insist upon wrecking the treaty I will
insist that the house naval affairs com
mittee and congress make enough
money available to build five ships for
each three laid down by Japan.”
Japan, he said, had once agreed to
be satisfied with three warships for
each five built by the Dnlted States
or Great Britain. "Officially and for
mally it said that was all it needed,"
Vinson said, “yet now it wants more.”
AGAIN it may be said that if or
n wlwn another EnropeSn ' '#ar‘
breaks out, it wUl start among the
southern nations. The blaze lighted
by the assassinations of King Alexan
der and Louis Barthou in Marseilles Is
still smoldering. Jugoslavia’s dele
gates In the LeaguevOf Nations formal
ly charged Hungary with complicity in
the murder of the king, asserting she
had harbored Balkan terrorists. Hun-
gary demanded immediate action by
the league’s couficil on thiraccusatlon,;
declaring “the peace of the world"
might be affected. The Hungarian
note asked that the matter be placed
on the agenda of the council's session
called to meet on December 3 to dis
cuss the forthcoming plebiscite in the
Saar, so that Hungary might “defend
its honor against proceedings which
have no other purpose than to compro
mise the good name of the whole Hun
garian nation.”
* The document then pointed out that
the council, under Article IV of the
covenant of the league, may deal with
any question affecting the peace of
the world.
It is, therefore, the duty of the coun
cil to face this question as soon as
possible, it asserted, “and thus guard
against the grave dangers which might
arise from the situation that Hungary
is still bound to bring to the attention
of the council.”
The Jugoslavian charges were sup
ported by the other two states of the
little entente, Czechoslovakia and
Rumania.
Italy, which has stood by Hungary,
was expected to refuse to grant extra
dition to France of Dr. Ante Pavelich,
alleged leader of the gang that planned
and carried out the assassination of
King Alexander. The court of appeals
at Turin denied the application of
France* and it was believed the min
ister of justice would confirm this rul
ing.
LEON ARCHI MBA UD, _ French re
porter of the budget, declared be
fore the .chamber of deputies that It
was undeniable that an understanding
exists between France
and Russia, and that
the Soviet government
had offered armed aid
to France In case of a
conflict with Germany.
This caused great ex-
citem ent and the
French office content
ed itself with a denial
that there was any'
military accord. The
Russian offer was gen-
an Fabry era]|y believed, to have
been made by Maxim Litvinov, Rus
sian foreign commissar, last spring to
the late Louis Barthou and again to his
successor, Pierre LavaL CoL Jean
Fabry, former French minister of war,
gave supporT to Archimliaud’s'“State?'
ment by asserting that France’s knowl
edge of German rearmament, the deiT
tails of German troops and informa
tion concerning the secret manufac
ture of arms and airplanes in the retch
was supplied by Russia. The two men
were arguing for a large, war budget,
and Archimbaud pictured Russia’s
huge military machine working with
France as the only means of preserving
peace In Europe.
D ISPATCHES from Germany tell
of serious unrest In the retch, arid
though the government calls them “ma
licious lies,.” it is a fact that the army,
and police'forces are-* being held under
emergency orders.
A long smoldering feud between the
reichswehr (regular army) and the
schutzstaffel (black shirt picked Nazi
guards) was believed responsible for
the orders, which Involved suspension
of Christmas furloughs for soldiers and
military police.
Drilling of Nazi storm troops has
increased, reports said, while all mar
riages of army men arid police set for
tfcs Christmas holidays, popular wed
ding period for Germany’s military
men, have been postponed.
Baron Werner von Fritsch, chief of
the reichswehr, in a memorandum to
Hitler, said plainly in discussing Nazi
suppressive methods that, unless a
more liberal spirit prevailed, the gov
ernment would face opposition from
all sides In case of war. He told Hit
ler something must be done about the
bad blood between the schutzstaffel
and the reichswehr.
BOLIVIA’S troops In the Chaco were
being soundly whipped by the Par
aguayans and President Daniel Sala
manca was blamed. He visited the war
front and was arrested by Gen. En
rique Penaranda and forced to resign.
Meantime Vice President Jose Sorzano
had taken over the presidential powers
by decree and installed a new cabinet
Penaranda appeared to be the virtual
dictator and It seemed likely he would
take steps to bring about peace with
Paraguay.
INSPECTOR SAMUEL P. COWLET
and Agent Herman E. Hollis of the
bureau of investigation, Department of
Justice, engaged in a gun battle with
Lester Gillis, better known as George
(“Bdby Face”) Nelson, Public Enemy
Ho. I, and a companion, near Barring
ton, HL, and both the federal men were
shot to death by machine guns in the
hands of the bandits. TKe killers, ac
companied by a woman, escaped for
the time being in the agents* car, their
own being disabled.
Next day Nelson’s body was found
miles away, In Niles Center, at the en
trance to a cemetery. He had died of
nine bullet wounds from the guns of
the federal agents he killed .and evi
dently hts body had been left at the
roadside after bis companions had
failed to save his life. In the same
region were found Nelson’s clothing
and the car the bandits had fled in
after the battle.
Cowley was the man who killed John
Dillinger, chief of the gang to which
Nelson belonged, and he also was In
command of the posse that ran down
and killed “Pretty Boy” Floyd in an
Indiana cornfield not long ago.
T HANKSGIVING day in America
was wedding day in London for the
duke of Kent, fourth son of the king
and queen of England, and Princess
Marina of Greece. The metropolis
swarmed with royalty and nobility
from many lands, and vast throngs of
ordinary persons watched the parade
to Westminster Abbey, where the mar
riage . ceremony was performed. The
ancient church was filled with the for
tunate ones who had been invited and
the scene was glittering. The only
Americans present were United States
Ambassador and Mrs. Robert W. Bing
ham.
.The ceremony In the abbey was cele
brated at 11 o’clock in the morning,
and It was followed immediately by an
other, the Greek Orthodox. The latter
took place In the private chapel of
Buckingham palace and was celebrated
by Archbishop Germanos, archimand
rite of the Greek church In London.
Only a select company of royal wit
nesses was present.
REPORTS of various business groups
Indicate that “luxury spending” is
becoming more noticeable and is aiding
Industry considerably. This includes
everything from the baby’s doll to the
palatial yacht—-and some place In be
tween Is fine furs—and all trade organ
izations report an increase. Reports
to Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Ro
per by business leaders indicated that
sales in some gift lines this year would
be 40 per cent greater than a year ago.
,. Charity Is not forgotten in _ this re
vival of spending. Community chests
and councils reported that contribu
tions to community chest drives this
year already are within 10 per cent
of the 1929 total, and national income
has dropped about 50 per cent in that
time.

the pact in the last session, said In
Washington that he had heard rumors
that some major provisions involved. In
the controversy , bad been eliminated in
a new treaty with Canada that. Is Be

he understood, have to do with the
American share of the cost.of the sea

Let Our Motto Be
g o o d h e a l t h
BY DR- LlO Y D ARNOLD.
ColUff* of IsSBW BwW SW FW SSSW W W W
r ic k e t s
Many persons have an idea tfcftt
rickets is a disease affecting young
children of Impov-
erlshed parents
only. But this to
not true. Rickets
Is no respecter of
wealth. You have
but to walk in vari
ous sections of a
city to notice that
there are just about
as many evidences
of bow-legs, knock-
knees, bandy legs
and arms, pigeon
chests and square*
topped heads
among the older persons in the well-to-
do sections as there are In the poorer
sections.
This Is because when these persons
were children, doctors did not know so
much about rickets as we do today.
And it is to be hoped that no child
within the reach of modern medical,
knowledge will ever have to endure the
physical handicap caused by this dis
ease.
The only prevention and the only
cure of rickets is an adequate supply
of vitamin D. Sunshine is a great
source of this important vitamin.
It is for this reason that sun suits
are ideal clothing for small children
whenever the temperature permits, and
why It Is good even in zero weather
for a child to have its nap on a sunny
porch—the child of course to be kept
warm, and Its face,protected from the
direct glare of the sun. Ultra violet
light, too, Is a source of Vitamin D,
but, except In a few instances, this is
expensive and ImpractlcaL ,
The other great source of Vitamin
-D is in a very limited list of foods.
The oil from fish--Uver leads—cod
liver oil is the one with which we ari»
most familiar; next comes egg yolk;
and there is some Vitamin D In butter
fat, and just a trace of It In mother’s
milk.
These foods also contain Vitamin A,
a very important health promoting and
general anti-lnfectlve vitamin.
Since we are not able to control the
number of sunshiny days, our best
hope of doing away with rickets is to
see that the child gets the amount of
vitamin D that he should have In the
food be eats. This is what medical
science Is trying to do- now.
It might be Interesting to note here
that rickets first manifested Itself, in
Europe In the Sixteenth century when
people were more and more attracted
to living In cities, with their dark
houses and dark, narrow streets, and
when people generally were living more
of an indoor life, and babies were kept
more and more In the house.
- In this connection it might be inter
esting also.to note an old folk remedy
that is stili used -In England and Ire
land. Dr. Larigdon Porter, child spe
cialist, tells of visiting the rural dis
tricts of England and Ireland and
finding a concoction there that the
grandmother In the family puts up
every autumn for the grandchildren.
She fills a jar with whole raw
eggs and then covers it with sour
wine. When the calcium in the shells
is dissolved, she stirs the mixture vig
orously, strains out the membrane of
the egg, and then feeds a spoonful of
the concoction to the children once or
twice a day throughout the winter,
Moderrisclence approves this remedy.
There is calcium in the egg shell, vita
mins in the egg yolk, and the acid of
the wine acts^as a preservative.
Since milk Is so generally a good food,
health authorities In this country are
now experimenting with four methods
of Increasing vitamin D In milk to the
point where milk so treated will have
a sufficient amount of this vitamin to
prevent rickets. The. first, is to treat
yeast with ultra-violet light, which in
creases the amount of Vitamin D sev
eral hundred times. This activated
yeast Is fed to dairy cattle, and they
In turn Becrete In the milk enough
vitamin D for It to be antl-rachlttc.
Visitors to the 1934 Century of Prog
ress saw a demonstration of this vlt-
mln D milk In a dairy herd at the
south end of the grounds.
A second method is to expose the
dairy cows themselves to ultra-violet
light so that they build up their own
vitamin D, and give milk with a higher
persentage of this Important vitmain,
A third method is to treat the milk
Itself with ultra-violet light, and a
fourth method is to add to the milk in
concentrated form a tasteless cod-ltver
oil, so that the child gets both the milk
and the valuable cod liver oil at the
same.time.
It Is difficult to say, as yet which of
these methods will prove the best, and
it will be interesting to'watcft their de
velopment AU of them, ~ necessarily
but unfortunately, add to the cost of
the milk! .
But unless you can get this vitamin
D milk, give your children a teaspoon* Inl of cod liver oil and see that they ; are but every, sunlight day. Older *Mi.
dren may have the yolk of" an egg.
Children with rickets not only have
softening of the bones but they are
more liable to pneumonia and other diseases. '
These m easures should Ce for the
dark months, beginning w ttr October
or November, and- through AprlL
Rlckete occur most frequently dur
ing the second half of the first year of
Ufe and the first half of the* second

National Topics Interpreted
b y W illia m B ru c lra rf
W ashlngton--Henry A. Wallace, sec
retary of agriculture, is girding his
armor to tight off a Wallace' drive to revise the
Will Fight agricultural - adjust
ment act Mr. Wal
lace sees many sinister moves now be
ing made in that direction arid he is
preparing to meet his adversaries in
the congressional battle that now ap
pears certain to come.
The secretary freely admits now that
there may be some changes necessary
in the adjustment act, but his position
will be boldly against too much whit
tling when agricultural legislation is
before congress in January. The con
viction is held by him that the agri
cultural situation has been improved
by the New Deal program, and he is
avowedly favorable to its retention In
a general way, although In a recent
speech Mr. Wallace told the national
grange that probably it would be neces
sary to re-examine the basis of the
program that has been operating now
more than a year.
“Exactly what form the drives on the
adjustment act and administration may
take this coming winter,” said Mr. Wal
lace In an Interview the other day, “no
one of us can say, but from present
Indications I would anticipate the most
potent drive to be directed at restric
tions on agricultural production. So I
envision a conflict, a choice between
two paths, one leading to unrestricted
agricultural production at the earliest
possible moment, the other leading to
continuance and perfection of the pres
ent control methods. ' Either path may
very well require certain changes In
the Agricultural Adjustment a c t Be
fore I-, discuss unrestricted production
in detail, I would like to say parentheti
cally that I am for i t provided there
Is a sufficient excess of imports over
exports to service the debts owed us
by foreign nations, and In addition to
pay a fair price for our exportable sur
plus; and provided, furthermore, that
shipment of these excess products
abroad does not Impoverish onr soil
beyond repair."
While Mr. Wallace is saying that the
drive is on the adjustment act, observ
ers are finding considerable objection
among farmers to control from Wash
ington. I think it is an undoubted fact
that the American farmers are: rock-
ribbed individualists and, that being
true, they naturally resent having bu
reaucrats slttlrig in' Washington offices
tell them what to do and how tojjo It
Because the farm Industry was so. flat
on its back when the adjustment act
was passed, the bulk of the farmers
were willing to accept anything that
promised a measure of relief, according
to the considered judgmerit of students
who have watched the whole picture.
They have - found now, however, that
unhappy consequences have resulted,
and I am told by many members of
congress that they are uncertain
whether there Is a majority of farm
ers in this country now favorable to
the New Deal farm program.
* » *
It seems reasonably certain, there
fore, that the discussion of farm legis-
latioii - In the new
Consumer congress will devei-
Io Be Heard op that which '“has
. not been developed
before, namely, the voice of the con
sumer. There is also likely to be vio
lent expressions from the corn and hog
producers because of the processing
taxes on hogs. A goodly number of
farm leaders believe, after surveys
among actual farm ers,. that the proc
essing, taxes on hogs have been taken
out of the farmer’s hide and not the
hog.
I told you some weeks ago that there
was every prospect of a proposal to
repeal the 'Bankhead cotton law. That
movement has gained In momentum be
yond belief. The Department of Agri
culture, under Mr. Wallace’s direction,
Is taking a census, a vote, on the ques
tion whether this law should be con
tinued. The result is that congress
will find that question on its door-step
also, and don’t forget that opponents of
the Bankhead law are real fighters.
Those who claim to have suffered dam
ages under it believe that one dose Is
enough, and- if they do not gain their
point one - way, they will accoriiplisb
tbelr desires in another, much, to the
chagrin of Senator Bankhead; of Ala
bama, who made so many.long speeches
In' its behalf. •
Mr. Wallace stated that he expects
the main drive against present agri
cultural laws to be In favor of removal
of all restrictions on production. He
thinks that is a ridiculous course to fol
low. He proposes -to give- present
schemes of control tim e. for trial In
order to perfect them. In this he has
the whole-hearted support of the New
Deal professors who clutter: up Depart
ment of Agriculture offices In numbers
greater than In any other government
department The professors have
their.: contacts at the. Capitol, and they
n?e them. Thus, observers here feel
that opponents of the present adjust
ment act may not win unless the ob
jections claimed to exist among the
farmers themselves, are made -vocal. If
that occurs, It to declared by authori
ties, we may see PresldenY Roosevelt
taking a hand because of the politics
Involved. If the President-throws bis
J S f r i favor of revision, Oiere IiB
Uttle doubt but that changes will come.
H be Indicates that <he is. satisfied., with
tbe^present set-up, the strength of the

Jonas And Kluttz May
Make Trouble For
Democrats.
The Republicans will have two
■members of the legislature who may
attempt to give the Democrats a lit
tle trouble, stated a former member
of the General Assembly from
Forsyth Monday. He said that
their names were Charles A Jonas,
of Lincolntou, and L. F. Kluttz, of
Newton. “Both of ’em are smart
and I am expecting them to do a lot
of talking and attempting to block
sotne of the legislation the Demo
crats desire to enact,” said this
Democrat.
Mr. Jonas, it will be recalled rep
resented the present tenth district
in Congress one term, but was de
feated at the next election.
“Jonas and Kluttz are not only
outstanding campaigners but I guess
they are two of the ablest members
of the G. 0 . P. in North Carolina”
remarked a former resident of
Catawba county now a citizen of
Winston Salem —Winston Sentinel
Al Smith Arrested In
Kings Mountain.
Alfred E Smith (doesn’t that

cot der’s court the past week for
public drunkenness.
Kings Mountain deputies who
brought him before Judge Joseph
W rightsaidthatSmith was wander
ing around the town io.'.king for his
automobile, which, besaie, had four
flat tires. The- officers found the
car (which had no flaits) and brought
Smith in.
He wore no brown derby and so
tar as he knows is no kin to the

Charlotte Democrats
Pall A “Boner;”
CFrom Western Carolina Tribune)
James A. Farley, Post Master
General and Democratic Nitional
Committee Chairman,-with. *a flair
for making" “dedication” speech!?
at new postoffice building, (which
never mentioned the building bur
are devoted to singing the- praises
of Mr Roosevelt and the New
Deal) pulled a boner down at Cha?
Iotte the past week.
A fine new postoffice building
had been completed there some
months ago, and all arrangements-
were made to bring the formei
sand peddler from hissanctumsanc
torum at Washington and have him
make his usual speech of dedicating
the new structure to the use and
glory of th* faithful Democrats
They had the lines of march, the
parade", the big lights, the leaders
and the ward heelers, all gathered
in the Queen City for the occasion.
There was Congressman Bul win
kle, representative from that dis
trict, who was all over the place.
He strutted, and he puffed, he pal
avered, bowed and scraped, accept
ing tbe plaudits of the crowd as a
crowned head in a heathern coun
try might accept the homage of a
peasantry that was kept pool by
royal decree.
. Bulwinkle actually acted as if he
had obtained the new postoffice
building for the city p.f CharJottei
Then a message .had been prepared;
bv the Republicans of !the city wa£
.placed in Bulwinkle’s' hands,.;, and
'4 h is'f£ M e" rs^
cockiness.
Themsssagethat had been hand
ed to Mr. Fai ley, copies of which
had been scattered thru the crowd,
read as follows:
•'Hon. James A. Farley,
“ Postmaster General,
‘ Dear Mr Postmaster General:
“The Republicans of Mecklen
burg county welcome you to our
city for tbe dedication of our beauti
ful new postoffice building, secured
by our two distinguisheid Repub
licans former Congressman Charles
A. Jonas, and ex Postmaster J. D
Albright.
. “Yours very truly,
“ Mecklenburg Republieans.’
Then it was that Post Master
General Farlev. discovered the fact
it was a Republican Congressman
who had obtained the new Charlotte
postoffice, and obtained it from a
a Republican Congress with the aid
and assistance of a Republican post
master who had worked in season
and out to get a new building for
the patrons of the office.
Bulwinkle had been in Congress
for many years, and bad failed to
get anything for h is district.
Charles A- Jonas, a Republican, de
feated Btilwinkle in 1928. held the
office two years aDd got the post,
office for C harlotte. In 193° Bul
winkle was again elected, as he was
in 1932 and in 1 9 3 4—and be still
gets his salary and expenses—th at’s
all ■
Yet when Mr. Farley came to
••dedicate” the new Jonas post-
office Bulwinkle was right there in
the parade, and the man who ob
tained the postoffice building for
C harlotte was not even invited
a t t e n d t h e ceremonies!
T he fair minded Democrats
C harlotte and M ecklenburg coun
tv did hot approve this High an ^
ed highw ay robbery of honor an
a m an who was
to
credit from
tbis honor
of
due
ahout the m atter:
r A broadside against Postm aster
Charles A ,
Jonas, and former Postmasteir
Albright in the dedication- of this
new postoffice addition last Wedtfes^
day was. delivered last night' by. ; S;;
Chester Nixon, Seversville political
leader. - '"'M''-S-V:"
“Anyone who is interested .in Jhg
growth of the Democratic party’/ ’i
said Mr. Nixon, who had- just fei
turned frbm Mr. Jonas’ native:-
county of Lincoln, “shouid- resent:
the attitude Postmaster Pani YounW
and the committee on arrangements:
showed toward Mr. Jonas 'and Mjf
Albright. . Neither the tormer ConJ
gressman nor the postmaster was ii;.«'
vited to be present at the • exercises
at the exercises at which Mr. Farleiy
spoke. Now I hold no hnef 'for:
Mr. Jonas. He is a Republicatt
and I am a Democrat, but he is j|j-
man entitled to respective of partyl
affiliations. It was he not' M r''
Younts, Mr. Bailey, nor Mr -Itnii
winkle, nor any other Democrat;
who was responsible for Chariottfe
getting the postoffice adition. „The:
appropropriation was'tnade during
Mr. Albright’s tenure of office, obk
tained by Mr. Jonas from a Repub
lican Congress, and the Democrats
had nothing to do with it. | ‘
“The least the committee on
rangements, Postmaster Youths
and other Democrats couH ha
done, would have been to have.rJi-
ognized the man responsible
getting the new postoffice addi
tion.” •" ... •
Mr. Nixpn. called attention
the close ydte in the legislative ri
.in Liucctln county, .in the v gene:
elect ion,*’>on November 6.
JonaslAyon by.only 3 5 votes,” he!
S-Iidtvv Which" shows there'ifvSorae
necessity for Democrats to assume
a courageous leadetsbio in Lincoln
county if the party i* to be the do.
min&nt party in that county.: If
Mr. Younts had thought or had
known better he would have seen
to it that one 0 1 the foremost citi
zens of Lincoln was recognized. It
would have made a much better
impression upon the Democratic
and Republican friends of the for
mer Republican Congressman in
Lincoln county and would have
helped the .Democratic party thru
out the 1 0 th congressional district.”
The Charlotte News, also Demo
cratic, staled in an editorial the
following straight-from the shoul
der comment:
Viewed from this distance, the
dedication ot the' new and enlarg
ed Charlotte federal building and
the attending celebration ■ appar
ently lacked but one thing of being
perfect.
That was recognition to the man
who secured the appropriation and
the man in whose term of office -as
postmaster and custodian the struc
ture was erected.
To be sure, Charles A. Jonas,
form er Congressman, and Judson
D. Albright, former postmaster,
are Republicans—and this was a
Democratic meeting. But since
the little detail of getting funds fc r
the magnificent building was "a
chore performed by Mr. Jonas,'and
since Mr. Albright was the pottj
master under whose administration
tbe structure took foim. there
should have been some:mention of
it and some effort to have present
ed the men along with the host of
state dignataries—most of whom
had nothing to do with securing
the buildiqg.

Barron’s Weekly tells the cottoi
states about their plight and what i?
happening to their markets:
“In attempting to help the cottor'

Farm Board have ignored' every
ohase of the cotton-producing in
dustry except the price per pounf
oaid to th farmer. In so doing. the>

“The United States cotton produ

"Recently, the Argentine news
papers have been urging the Chac<
farmers to plant more and still morf

editors appeal to the Chaco pro
ducers. -
Not long ago Germany bought cot

selling coal to Brazil, Russia sold
cotton to Europe, and bought ma
chinery from Europe, Japan con

has become an exporter of raw cot

tions and control from cotton so that
the cotton produced in that country
may pass into consumers’ hands as
rapidly as possible.”
Every word of this warning can be
adapted to Canada-and her problem
of finding markets for her grain. We
have been losing these markets for
years and we shall continue to lose
them until we face up to the neces
sity of doing two things—meeting
the competitive price of the wheat
of other nations in markets where
we have to complete on every terms;
and taking payment for our wheat
exports in the products' of other
countries, even though this may in
dqde manufactured products which
m l I enter into competition with our
native manufactures.
These are hard savings to the
wheat grower or the handier of
wheat grower of wheat who thinks
we have tbe consuming public of the
world by the neck and can make it
take.our product on our own terms;
and to the Canadian manufacturer
who believes that the home market
should be his at whatever price is
necessary to make things comfort
able and easy for himseif.<.
Nevertheless' these are truths; ajid
if we rgject them because we find
them disagreeable to contemplate
we shall encounter something much
more disagreeable a little further a-
|ong the road.
One Year of Repeal.
With the end of the first year of
prohibition repeal one finds that
liquor is legal in thirty states, as com.
pared with nineteen on the date of
repeal, 7 This, is appears is about the
only progress made m handling the
•liquor problem.
Reports from many states indicate
that the saloon has returned, that
bootlegging flourishes and that the
government is losing mucji. revenue
In lact, while the Federal Treasury
collected about ^350,000,000 this is
about $150,000,000 short of what was
expected from the $ 2 a gallon tax.

And How Do They Get
By With It.
The following from Cbarity and
Children, Thomasville Baptist or
phanage newspaper is so palpabh
true and to the point that we are
passing it on:
“ A^ young'Presbyterian divinity
student killed his wife and a Cath
plic priest in the priest’s hotel room
J'hose who found them said the
priest and the woman were onlv
oartrallv dressed. That was the
first statement. Later thev had
more and more clothes on It will
jeveimtallv be proven that the youue
women had gone, to the father’?
room to confess her sins. Firs
evidence was to the effect that all
three bad been on a di unken orgy
It will probably be proven later
that the Presbyterian student was
druuk and the priest was taking
fatherly care of him and his young
bride. It is simply marvelous how
testimony can be had to clothe a
Catholic, howevei ^naked he may
have been physically and morally.”
"The above refers to the scene in
a New York hotel where a “ Holy
Father” went out and bought li
quor. got a . young bridegroom
druak and carried his bridge to an
other floor of the hotel to hear her
’■confession/” The bridegroom a-
woke from his stupor and when he
found his beautiful young bride in

Many Sick Dems.
Charity and Children says “we
have never offered a word of criti
cism of the State Board of Health be
fore, but we do think it is a reflection
on the board when 24,000 people
were too sick to vote on election day.
Something ought to be done for
those poor, sick people and their ab
sentee ballots.” And the' sad part
about these 24,000 sick souls was tbe
fact that all of them were ailing
Democrats or “New Dealers” and
some of them may die before another
election. But their names can be se
cured from their grave stones and
they can be voted just the same —Ex.

Spend Much Money.
Tbe state of .North Carolina has
-spent much iifobev on roads and
iridges. The total road, bonds is
'Ued by tbe state amounts to a grand
otai of $r-3 3 6 3 0,4 5 7 . Of t h i s
imoutit of money spiehf, we are still
iwing ths; immense sum of 8 9 9,7 0 4 ,-
300. The interest on ; th«ise bonds
•or 4 2 years will amount to
0 3 8 8 5 2 3 1 , nearly as much asr the
entire sum spent jfor building bigh-
vays. The. taxpavers no dnnbt
’-enow that big northern banks'" get
-.bis hundred m'llion odd dollars of
interest money. The. joad fund
surplus for 1 9 3 3 3 4 was $4 ,6 6 6 , 3 3 3
ind the surplus to June I, of. .this
veair was around ten and a half
million dollars. The revenue last
year ffdih gas, license plates, .etc.,
was about $2 2 ,5 0 0 ,0 0 0 , while, the
amount eolliected for the general
fund from all other sources amotint
ed to about $2 1 -5 0 0 ,0 0 0 : If we are i
not mistaken about $ 1 6 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 ;was
spent in the highway department
the past year, leaving a surplus of
more-than six million dollars. With
these figures, which were given us
by a member of the N. C. Auto
Owners Tax Reduction League, it
seems-to us that !be first thing the
next legisture should do is to , cut
the price of auto license plates in
half, and also reduce the lax- on
gas to about three instead of six
cents, the amount we are " nowf
paying the state.. These highway
funds are not supposed tobe divert
ed to any other purpose,.' but
we understand that .a'part of this-

Some people are natural- born

who are born lazy, and they ,never

There are people who quit jobs to
go on the relief roll; workers wl 0
refuse jobs because tbev prefer to ,
take a small amount from the' relief
and be lazy. All kinds of trirks are
played to take advantage. It is re ;

It may be just a little late, but
here’s wishing everybody a Merry
Christmas an^ a happy New Year.
Tbe merchants who advertised in
The Record are the ones who did
the biggest holiday business. Don’t
take our word —ask the merchants.
Yes, dear Alphonzo1 there are
some folks getting Federal Aid who
don't need it, while some who need
assistance are not getting anything,
according to reports.
Gall at our office this week and
Iet us sendThe Recordto some of
yonr relatives as a Christmas pre
sent. For .only one dollar you can
make somebody happy every week
for twelve months.
Well, there is always something
tJ worry about. The North Caro-
i ta legislature meets next week,
and Congress will also be in ses
.sion. With these two evils to con
tend with, we aie in a bad fix.
Times may be better than they
were a year ago but statistics show
that there is one billion, two hund
red million less- dollars in circula
tion today than at the same time
one year ago' Is this prosperity?
Davie county people want a fair
next fall. Here’s hoping the Fair
directors will call a meeting early
in the year and resurrect this much
needed institution. A county with
out a fair is like a ship without a
rudder—doesn’t.get anywhere.
A good lady in Mocksville called
us up on the ’phone a few days ago
and wanted to know if we could do
anything about certain folks getting
Federal relief that wouldn’t work
and didn't need the aid. We told
her that we could not, and referred
her to the head of the organization
here. She said she couldn’t get in
touch with the organization head
here after trying for some time to do
so. W ethen referredherto Mrs.
Thos. 0 ’Berry, at Raleigh. She
remarked that she had taken the
matter up with Mrs. O’Beiry, who
had promised an investigation some
time ago, but nothing bad been
done. She'was then referred to
Harry L. Hopkins, the big boss at
Washington. Failing to get Mr
Hopkins interested, she might try
taking up the matter with Franklin
Delano Roosevelt or Senator King
Fish Long.

schools, better roads, better people
and better law enforcement. We
will continue to fight for what we
believe to be right, regardless 0 /
consequences. We have made many
mistakes in the past, and will con
tinue to make them, but we will do
our best to make fewer in the fu
ture than we have in the past.
Our office will be open most of

for all our friends to call and see
us when they come to town. When
we can help you in any way, just

Marshall Gets Four
Years.
Morganton. Dec. 1 9.—Rex Mar
shall, 2 7 -year-old service station
operator, was sentenced to four
years in state’s prison today follow
ing his conviction of manslaughter
in the fatal shooting of Richard A
Loyd, Mocksville nursery man, on
October 2 3 . The state asked con
viction on either second • degree
murder or manslaughter., . v
Notice of intention to appeal to
the supreme court was given, and
bond was set at $5 , 0 0 0 by Judge
W. F. Harding.
The jury returned a verdict after
deliberating one hour and four min
utes at the close of a three-day trial.
Conviction was on Marshall’s own
testimony and that of bis wife, on
his plea of self-defense, inasmuch
a9 the state offered no evidence.
He testified that he shot Loyd in
his filling station near Hickory
when the Mocksville man grabbed
a hammed after being ordered out
of the place. The hammer was not
raised, he said.
Tbe fatal shooting occurred-after
Lovd had asked the defendant’s
wife for a date, they testified, Loyd
had come to Hickory for shrub
bery at a' nearby nursery and walk
ed to Marshall’s filling statiofi,
near the Catawba county line,
where the shooting occured.
An even dozen .veterans of Gen
eral Lee’s army of the South are all

Colonel J. D. Hodges is probably
one of the outstanding veterans of
the state as be is the, oldest living

In spite of-ail the prosperity we
read about, and all the money tbai
the -Federal government has turn
ed loose in Davie county, there will
be some children in the county-who
will think today that Santa Claus
is dead. It’s a pity that some of
the funds couldn’t have been
used to purchase a few toys and
Christmas sweets, clothes, etc., for
the little children whose parents
can scarcely get enough cash to pur

the voice of an old friend. It was
the voice of Yank Yank, the Nuthatch,

and contentment At once Peter hur
ried In the direction from which it
came.

“Welcome Home, Yank Yank,” Cried
Peter.
bird about the size of Downy the
Woodpecker. The top of his head and
upper part of his back were shining
black while the rest of his back was
bluish gray. The sides of his head
and his breast were white. The outer
featherB of his tail were white, with
black patches near their tips.
But Peter didn’t need to see how
Yank Yank was dressed In order to
recognize him, Peter would have
known him if he had been so far away
that the colors of his coat did not
show at all. You see, Yank Yank was
doing a most surprising thing, some
thing no other bird can do. He was
walking head first down the trunk
of that tree, seemingly quite as much
at home and unconcerned In the queer
position as If he were right side up.
He lifted his head and called a greet
ing which sounded very much like the
repetition of his own name. Then he
turned and began to climb the tree
as easily as he had come down.
“Welcome home, Yank Yank!” cried
Peter, hurrying up quite out of breath.
Once more Yank Yank turned so that
he was head down and his eyes twin
kled as he looked down at Peter.
“You’re mistaken, Peter,” said he.
“This Isn’t home. I’ve simply come
down here for the winter. You know
home is where you raise your children,
and my home Is in the great woods'
further north."
“Well, anyway, this is a kind of
home. It’s your winter home,” pro
tested Peter, “and I certainly am glad
to see you back. The Old Orchard
wouldn't be quite the same without
you. Did you have a pleasant sum
mer? And if you please, Yank Yank,
tell me where you built your home
and what it was like.”
“Yes, Mr. Curiosity, I had a very
pleasant summer,’’ replied Yank Yank.
“Mrs. Yank Yank and I raised a fam
ily of six, and that is doing a lot bet
ter than some folks I know, If I do say
it As to our nest, it was made of
leaves and feathers and it was In a
hole In a certain old stump that not
a soul knows of but Mrs. Yank Yank
and myself. Now is there anything
else you want to know?”

THROUGH A
wbmaris Eyes
B y J E A N N E W T O N
WITH NOTHING TO DO
A WELL known minister the other
day preached a sermon on the
need of modern men and women for
solitude.
"Our mental powers,” he said, "ex
press themselves most efficiently In
solitude.” And he cited the work of
successful people and creative artists
the world over who have accomplished
their best work alone, away from/peo-
ple. ' .
Do we need solitude! It seems to me
the question is will we tolerate it. For
the one companionship that most peo
ple today seem zealously to avoid Is
their own.
It is one thing to like pleasant
company and enjoy the society of our
friends. But an honest observer of
the modern scene must admit that the
way the average woman clings to com
pany and craves companionship for
every bit of leisure time looks almost
like a mania to get away from herself.
Why? Is It the. rush and bustle of
this modern age making so many de
mands on our time? Is it simply dis
inclination to give up something else
to take the time for getting acquainted
with ourselves? That would be an
agreeable explanation, but one difficult
of acceptance by anyone who has seen
that look of consternation on the faces
of . women whom a “broken date” left
“high and dry” with themselves.
It Is not only from the viewpoint
of work, accomplishment, that solitude
is a good thing: Every one of us needs
a little leisure time alone just for our
growth as a person. As our bodies need
time to rest from physical activity to
rebuild, so our minds need rest to con
template, to digest, to assimilate, in a
way that we cannot when we are pre
occupied with things or people.
Many a woman who is hectic about
“making a date” for every moment she
has free, might find a pleasant sur
prise In store for her if she tried tak
ing a walk, for instance, with herself.
She might find a certain satisfying
something that will open up to her a
new resource and give her a feeling
of new power the next time someone
disappoints her and she finds herself
with “nothing to do.”& Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.

Only Individual Can Decide the Amount of Money He
or She Would Consider Requisite to Give
Feeling of Contentment.
What it means to be rich, is some
thing that it is worth while to con
sider. How much money would con
stitute riches to you? How would
you know when you were rich? What
are the signs and earmarks of
riches that would be distinguishable
by others? Would you be rich it
riches were constituted In money
only? To what extent are you rich?
Or are you absolutely Impoverished?
Have you no cherished possessions
from which you could not be parted
without feeling the poorer by the ab
sence of them? From the kind of
questions it is readily discernible
that the word riches Is many sided.
Have you ever consulted a dic
tionary, or, better still, Roget’s the
saurus, which Is a treasure-house
book of words and meanings, and
been amazed at the many meanings
one word can have? Try it, If you
haven’t It’s interesting and decid
edly instructive. Look up the word
riches, for Instance, and note what it
says.
To be rich does not mean to have
everything one wants. There Is al
ways the unattainable. Yon will re
member the little boy whose parents
could ,deny him nothing. He was
rich In the sense of having every
thing provided for him -that money
could buy. But when he demanded
the moon, he suddenly felt poor. He
couldn’t have his every wish grati
fied. The parents felt poor. They
could not give their spoiled son
everything he wanted. No thinking
person would expect to get the actu
al moon. Its beauty and radiance must
suffice. But there are some persons
who look upon money as the medium
by which they can get other things
just as unreasonable. They believe
happiness depends on money. Tt
must, therefore, be able to get it for
them. They do not realize that
money and happiness, belong to two
totally different realms. Money is a
physical thing as distinguished from
happiness, which is mental and spi
ritual.
The amount of money which would
comprise riches to some persons sig
nifies penury to others. Men have
committed suicide because they lost
fortunes, although -there still re
mained what would be riches to one
unaccustomed to the former prodi
gality of money. With still enough
remaining on which to live and care
for a family, which would be riches
to some, these men feel crushed by
poverty. No one need feel he does
not have monetary riches who has
enough to supply normal needs of
Mongrel Always Hero
There was a good dog story from
Halifax, Nova Scotia, recently. A
settler broke a leg In a blizzard and
was freezing to death. He was dis
covered by a faithful dog. The dog
tore off to’ the nearest cabin and
barked for help. The story was com
plete In every classic detail.
The inmates of the cabin at first
refused to pay attention to the dog,
so the dog kept barking until they de
cided to go Into the storm to see
what was the matter. Result: Man
Saved by Dog.
The nicest touch about the little
story was that the correspondent did
not fail to state that the hero dog
was a mongrel! Judging by stories,
both fact and fiction, It Is not per
mitted for blooded dogs to be heroes.

President Roosevelt Moves to Take the Profit Out of War—
Wallace for Continued Federal Control
of Agriculture.
B y E D W A R D W. P IC K A R D

B ernard Ml.
B aruch
W HILE the senate committee head
ed by Senator Gerald P. Nye of
North Dakota was still investigating
munitions makers and their profits
and methods, President
Roosevelt named an-
other committee
charged with the duty
of preparing legisla
tion that would au
thorize the Chief Ex
ecutive, in time of war,
to assume absolute
power over industrial
profits, prices and
wages and over the op
erations of all indus
tries. Bernard M. Bar
uch, New !fork finan
cier who was head of the war indus
tries. board, was made chairman of this
committee, and Gen. Hugh S. Johnson,
former head of the NRA, was selected
as Mr. Baruch’s assistant Others on
the committee are Secretaries Hull
(state), Morgenthau (treasury), Dern
(war), and Swanson (nary) ; Under
secretary of Agriculture Tngwell, act
ing for Secretary Wallace; Assistant
Secretary of Labor McGrady, acting
for Secretary Perkins; Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Henry Latrobe
Roosevelt; Rail Co-ordinator Eastman;
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of
staff; and Foreign Trade Adviser
George N. Peek.
The President told newspaper men
gathered at" his press conference
that “the time has come to take the
profit out of war.” He declared that
not only the war profits of corpora
tions would be under inspection but
the wages of individuals as well. He
pointed out the disparity between the
soldier’s pay of $1 a day and that of
the munitions worker at $10 a day, and
declared this unequal mobilization, as
he called it, had led to the veterans’
demands for a soldiers’ and sailors’
bonus.
Legislation will be asked of the new
congress meeting In January, Mr.
Roosevelt said. He added that he re
garded the subject as one of the most
important of any to be laid before
congress.
Tbe President insisted that his move
at this time was not prompted by any
threat of war. The war horizon, be
said, is cloudless. Neither should the
proposal be considered one for war
preparedness, the President added.
Senator Nye and others of his com
mittee, fearing this move might pre-,
vent the appropriation of funds for the
continuance • of their investigation,
were rather caustic in their comments
on the President’s action. It was
pointed out that the entire field of in
quiry suggested by the President was
covered by the war policies commis
sion, appointed under congressional
authority three years ago. This com
mission made recommendations, but
congress took no action.
In order that he may aid in han
dling expected War department legis
lation, General MacArthur is retained
as chief of staff indefinitely, by direc
tion of the President This does not
mean that be will serve another four-
year term.
A LL Michigan was thrown into
mourning by one of the worst
disasters that ever occurred in that
state. The Hotel Kerns in Lansing,
crowded with legislators gathered for
a special session of the assembly, was
destroyed by an early morning fire,
and probably as many as forty per
sons were killed by the flames or by
leaping to the street or into the Grand
river on the bank of which the hotel
stood. The exact number of victims
may never be known, for the register
was burned. At least six members, of
the .legislature lost their lives.
MTJALANOED abundance” is the
D keynote sounded in the program
offered by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace In his annual report.' Con
vinced that agriculture should be
brought under permanent federal con
trol, be will ask congress for drastic
new legislation. This will include broad
amendments to the AAA, great exten
sion of the grain futures act and pas
sage of the Tugwell food and drugs
bill. While ‘he insists on continuance
of crop control, Mr. Wallace advises
against falling into the pit of "scarc
ity economics” ; nevertheless, he de
fends the working of the AAA reduc
tion schemes to date.
He sees “the end of our period of
emergency adjustments, of drastic re
duction In farm output coming into
view.” Hereafter, the task may In-,
elude adjustment of production to a
rising demand, he says. To this end, as
a safeguard against the effects of crop
failure In the future, the secretary de
velops his proposal for “an, ever nor
mal granary.” Larger reserves against
crop failure would be maintained.
These, he believes, should remain in
the control of the farmers, tbrongh
storage and government, loan arrange
ments, coupled with an obligation' to
participate in continued crop adjust
ments. By co-ordinating storage with
crop adjustments, farmers would have
the beginning Of means to control live
stock production cycles, it is held.;
The secretary defends the proposed
amendments to the AAA on the ground
that they rfeally did not enlarge his
powers but merely "sought to remove
uncertainties in the law and to specify
more clearly the secretary’s powers to
enforce these marketing agreements
against the recalcitrant few.”
The Tugwell amendment to the food
and drug act is defended by Wallace
on the ground that it would remove
from the government “the formidable
obligation of proving that claims made
In the labeling of patent medicines are
both false and fraudulent” and pro
vide more drastic penalties, including
jail terms for violations.

T NVITED by the League of Nations
* council to name the commander ot
the international force to preserve or
der In the Saar before and during the
plebiscite of January 13. the British
government gave the post to Maj. J.
E. S. Brind, a soldier of considerable
experience in and since the World
war. The British contingent will com
prise 1,500 men. The Italians will num
ber 1,300, the Swedes 250, and the
Dutch 250, bringing the total to 3,300.
The governing body of the Saar Is
authorized to exempt “the interna
tional force,” as it is called, from “all
responsibility for any acts accom
plished in the performance of its mis
sion and confer on itself, In case of
need, power of requisition, accommoda
tion, maintenance, and transport of
said force.”
FOR a few days it seemed that Jugo
slavia was determined to provoke
another European war as an aftermath
of the assassination of King Alexander.
Bogoljub Yeftitch, Ju
goslav foreign minis
ter, appeared, before
the League of Nations
council In Geneva and
denounced the govern
ment of Hungary as
responsible fo r th e
Marseilles murder,
and his government
pressed him to obtain
concrete action in re
gard to the complaint,
At the same time Ju
goslavia was deport
ing thousands of Hungarians from
within its borders. Hungary, denying
any responsibility for the killing of
Alexander, protested bitterly against
the deportations, and was supported
by Italy in its position. France stood
back of Jugoslavia, as did Czecho
slovakia and Rumania.
Veftitch told leaders of the inajoi
European powers he preferred to with
draw the matter, from the hands of the
league and deal directly with Hungary
rather than accept a mere "platonic’
condemnation of terrorism.
“Our moderation has mistakenly
been conceived to be weakness,” he
asserted.
The situation was genuinely threat
ening and the representatives of the
great powers began to get busy. Pierre
Laval, French foreign minister, told
Baron Aloisi of Italy about the Serb
threat, and a spokesman for the little
entente admitted that the Belgrade
government might be forced by public
opinion to act, unless the council’s ac
tion was satisfactory.
Then Laval proposed to the league a
plan involving an invitation to Hungary
to conduct a careful inquiry into the
murder of Alexander and to punish
anyone found guilty of connection with
the crime. This scheme was presented
to Hungary and the little entente by
CapL Anthony Eden, British lord privy
seal, and was accepted by them, to the
great relief of the statesmen.
Meantime the tenseness of the situ
ation was lessened by the sudden'ces
sation of deportations of Hungarians
from Jugoslavia, which action. It was
said was due to the intercession of oth
er powers, chiefly Great Britain and
France., The Serb government, probab
ly realized that its cause at Geneva
would be prejudiced by the continua
tion of the expulsions.
W HEN December 15, war debt in
stallment day, came around, It
was found that Finland was again the
only nation with enough decency to
pay. It deposited the amount due,
$228,538, In the New York Federal Re
serve bank. AU the other debtor; na
tions repeated their defaults, and Great
Britain rejected a suggestion ,for anoth
er conference on the ground that world
conditions had not altered since last
June and negotiations now would be
“useless and unwise.”
CONSTITUTIONAL guarantees were
suspended by the Cuban govern
ment in the provinces of Havana, San
ta Clara and Camaguey- in order to
cope with threatened uprisings. Au
thorities are thus enabled to search
homes without warrants; hold prison
ers without bringing charges against
them and inspect personal mail. Ha-
tanzas is the only remaining, province
where citizens are assured constitu
tional rights, since the guaranties were
suspended in Pinar del Rio and Oriente
provinces some time ago.
The secretary of state In Havana an
nounced that “squatters” on some thou
sands of acres of land in Oriente pro
vince, where a miniature Communist
state has been set up, will be evicted.
POLAND’S foreign policy was clearly
set forth to the press by Prince
Radziwill, chairman of the foreign re
lations committee of the Polish parlia
ment the statement being meant pri
marily for the French. The prince
said the Franco-Polish- alliance was
still the basis of his country’s foreign
policy, but France’s lack of considera
tion for Poland’s independence and the
attitude of French capitalists who re
gard Poland as a fit object of exploita
tion have developed serious differ
ences.
Radziwill said Roland wishes to
avoid becoming involved in Danubian
and Balkan problems and at the same
times wishes to be consulted on prob
lems directly affecting it, such as the
proposed eastern Locarno security pact
and questions concerning its relations
with Russia, Germany, and the Baltic
states.
Poland is not the “yes man” of
France, and it cannot permit action to
be taken in northeastern Europe with
out being consulted, Radziwill con
tinued.

Henry Ford
H ENRY FORD believes, as do many
others, that recovery can be
brought about by reviving industry
and creating employment, and be is
acting on his belief.
The motor magnate
announces that he will
spend an additional
$8,000,000 for further
expansion a n d im
provement of his com
pany’s thousand-acre
plant at River Rouge,
near Dearborn, Mich.
This is in addition to
the recent letting of
contracts for nearly
$12,000,000 for two
steel mills and power units for the
plant, so the company will spend a total
of about $20,000,000 within a period of
ten months for the development of the
River Rouge plant
The new units now under construc
tion and the cost of each are the steel
finishing plant, $3,460.000; the hot steel
strip mill, $6,111,923: the stripper
building, for handling ingots, $230,000;
new steam and electrical units for the
power house $4,599,888; new blast fur
naces and foundry equipment, $2,120,-
460, and additional equipment of many
kinds, costing $3,144,250, made neces
sary by the shift from 24-hour to 16:
hour daily production.
Evidently Mr. Ford has no fear for
the future economic stability of the
country.
T JNION labor, like President Roose-
velt, is heartily in favor of legis
lation establishing unemployment in
surance, but it proposes, Hirough Pres
ident Green of the A. F. of L., that
the insurance be financed wholly by a
5 per cent tax on pay rolls. Opposing
any direct levy on the workers, Mr.
Green says they would pay most of the
cost any way. Employers add their
cost to prices and employees buy 85
per cent of all goods, he argued. If
workers shared the direct cost of in
surance, he adds, they would be pay
ing twice.
Representative Gonnery of Massa
chusetts, chairman of the house labor
committee, says that sentiment in favor
of the 39-hour week measure as a
means of, reducing unemployment is
increasing. This also is warmly urged
by union labor, but the administration
seems to think the. time for it has not
yet come.
At t o r n e y g e n e r a l cum m ings
held a four-day crime conference
in Washington with some five hundred
delegates, and President Roosevelt and
Henry L. Stimson made speeches at the
opening session. Criminologists, judges,
lawyers and sociologists joined the gov
ernment officials in devising a program
to make the nation more law-abiding.
H. J. Anslinger, chief of the narcotic
bureau, discussed the recent raids in
many large cities In which his agents
seized hundreds of dope peddlers, ad
dicts and their equipment, and said the
raids showed the need of more drastic
laws against the dope evlL The mat
ter of shady lawyers was taken up
and Mayer C. Goldman of New York
suggested that private counsel in crim
inal cases be abolished and a system
of state defense lawyers be established.
Treasury officials urged that their po
lice authority against bootlegging
should be broadened., These and many
other topics were thoroughly dismissed.
BOLIVIA, badly beaten by Paraguay,
announced her acceptance of the
League of Nations’ plan for ending the
war. In the Ghaco; and. although at
the same time ah order was issued for
a general mobilization of ail the. coun
try’s available man power, it was be
lieved the long, struggle was near its
ending.
The league plan provides for an arm
istice while a neutral international
commission works out details of a set
tlement of grievances. Paraguay has
not acted finally on the league’s offer.
FOES IN BALKANS
AGREE ON PEACE
War Peril Ended by League
of Nations.
Gepeva--W ar threats In central Eu
rope were dissipated when Jugoslavia
and Hungary bowed to the League of
Nations, whose council unanimously
adopted a resolution “deploring” the
crimes at Marseilles.
The action of the two opposing na
tions in accepting the resolution was
viewed as a league victory in,the in
terests of peace. Central Europe had
been threatened by war as a direct
result of the assassination October 9
of the Jugoslav king, Alexander.
Hungary, in diplomatic terms, is re
quested to take “punitive action against
any authorities whose culpabilities
have been established” and “communi
cate to the council the measures which
It takes to this effect" This action
was sought by Jugoslavia.
Until the very last the diplomats’
interest In the Jugoslav-Hungarian dis
pute was breathlessly maintained. Re
lief was expressed on all sides when
the Hungarian representative received
the urgent instructions:
“Vote for the resolution.”
The diplomats said the resolution in
dicates a distinct triumph for concili
ation and proves that statesmen may
make concessions to the league when
they might find it difficult to make
them directly to governments. In this
Instance Jugoslavia was seen as get
ting adequate satisfaction, while Hun
gary’s honor remains unsullied.
The British regard the agreement,
sponsored by Capt. Anthony Eden, as
showing the constructive value of An
glo-French co-operation.
The resolution insisted that all re
sponsible for the killing of Alexander
and F.oreign Minister Louis Barthou
of France be punished, recalled that
it is the duty of every state neither to
encourage nor tolerate In its territory
"any terrorist activity with a political
purpose,” and that all nations must
repress acts of this nature “and lend
assistance to governments which re
quest it.”
The council took the view that the
rules of international law concerning
the repression of terrorist activity
were not sufficiently precise to guar
antee international co-operation in the
matter. It decided to set up a com
mittee of experts to study the ques
tion, the committee to be composed of
eleven members. The committee in
cludes Hungary, but not Jugoslavia.

National Topics Interpreted
by William Bruckart
Washington. — Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho, sometimes denominat
ed as a progres-
FletdlCT sive Republican, has
Will Stick sought out the front
pages of newspapers
again with a demand for reorganiza
tion of the Republican party. He
called for the .resignation of Henry
P. Fletcher as chairman of the
Republican national committee and
was promptly met with a digni
fied declaration from the chairman that
he had no intention of resigning and,
further, that he intended to see what
could be done with the present carcass
of the elephant that was trod upon so
badly in the last two elections.
That declaration would appear to
have been enough to stop the Idaho
senator temporarily, but it failed and
he was back again on the front page
with another press statement to the
general effect that the present leader
ship in the Republican party would
-amount to little more than a huge joke
unless there w ere. reorganization, re
suscitation or reincarnation or some:
thing else. It seems,'however,, that the
second blast by Senator Borah was
more than an ordinary dose because it
aroused Senator James Couzens of
Michigan, another individual who en
joys labeling himself as a progressive
Republican. The Midiigan senator
fired back at Senator Borah a chal
lenge that the Idaho senator write
something equivalent to a new pro
gram for the Republican party. Sena
tor Couzens said he was not at all
convinced that Senator Borah could
point the, way for revivification of the
elephant’s carcass and gave every indi
cation, according to. the .view taken
here, that he believed the one. success
ful course for the party lay in offering
a constructive program rather than
constant criticism of the New Deal
without offering substitute for it
While Mr. Borah’s demand for Mr.
Fletcher’s resignation caused some
comment it did not stir the waters like
Mr. Fletcher’s reply. The chairman
promptly showed fight. He said that
to step out at this time would “plunge
the party organization into confusion."
He pointed out that there is machinery
by which changes can be accomplished
In the party organization through' the
calling of a special meeting of the na
tional committee. This can be done on
petition of sixteen members from six
teen different states and Mr. Fletcher
suggested to Mr. Borah that if leader
ship changes were tiesired, the way
was open to him.
It was in respect of this suggestion
that Senator Conzens took a crack at
Senator Borah by saying that if Mr.
Borah had real plans, Mr. Fletcher
should resign-and- the ' chairmanship
should be offered to Mr. Borah so that
his constructive ideas could be carried
out.
Charles D. Hilles and Mark L. Requa,
Republican national committeemen
from New York and California re
spectively, also had their ire bestirred
by Senator Borah while- the row be
tween Borah and Fletcher was pro
ceeding. Neither .of these men took
much stock in the Borah proposal be
cause they never have viewed things
as the Idaho senator sees them.
* • »
The controversy between the several
outstanding individuals over what to
■ do or not to do
Says Party about the Repub-
Can Come Back Iican party is con
sidered by many
political writers in Washington and
by many political leaders as being lit
tle more than a flash in the pan and
unlikely to lead to solution of the prob
lem faced by the "party which went
down to such ignominious defeat in two
successive elections. It has been Chair
man Fletcher’s, contention that despite
the licking the party took, it can come
back and be as strong a force in Amer
ican politics as it ever has been, but
he hinted that nothing could be done
until the party organization and rank
and file of the voters' get over the
shock. This was the condition which
confronted the Democratic party after
the defeat of James M. Cox. the Demo
cratic candidate In 1920, and it was
paralleled in 1928 when President
Hoover defeated Alfred E. Smith of
New York. Yet the fact remains the
Democratic party came back and is
now in absolute control of the govern
ment machinery. Astute observers
here generally, I believe, hold the view
that some changes may be necessary in
party policies. This view possibly was
expressed better by Representative
Fish, a New York Republican, than
by anyone else when he said that it
was apparent there should be an at
tempt made “to liberalize and to hu
manize” Republican party policies.
The problem confronting the party
therefore, is looked upon as requiring
something more thqpfront page criti
cism; Indeed, I hear many expressions
to the effect that ajreriod-of quiet con
sideration by party leaders may do
more to develop a constructive pro
gram than all of the bushwhacking and
gun toting by any of the regulars or ir
regulars can do. Ip other words, to
sum up the picture as I hear the com
elusions stated here, it would appear
to be a- time for the party leaders to
brush away cobwebs and look upon con
ditions as they exist rather than to
allow personal animosity and personal
ambition to overcome solid judgment

Secretary Wallace in his annual re,';
wLm® KfTrtment of ^ l t u r e Mt Wallace believes that the adjuaw
program should be continued altS
he admitted that the enornu®^
pluses which previously exist* £
now largely disappeared as a resuSdrouth or from other causes
The secretary’s report" shows s®
indication, in the opinion of observe,
of an intention to change the tack <
the adjustment program. He surasM
that the task ahead may include ad-
justment of production to a rising fc
mand and that, it was pointed our, will
certainly not require crop reduction
exclusively. The fundamental pn,.
pose, according to the secretary's out-
line, is to establish a balance behveen
production and consumption, and In de
scribing this program he coined lie
new phrase “balanced abundance." Ua-
less this is done, Mr. Wallace declared,
there is danger of the country “faffing
into a pit of scarcity economics."
“In 1933,” the report continues, “ag
riculture had enormous surpluses of
wheat, cotton, tobacco, and hog prod
ucts, which had accumulated as a re
sult of war-time expansion, economic
nationalism, strangled foreign trade,
and reduced domestic consumption.
Prices 'had fallen to 50 per cent of
their 1929 level. Merely to avert farm
ruin it was imperative to eliminate the
surpluses.
“As matters then Sood, ptotacta
control seemed to he synonymous with
crop production. But It was never
contemplated that reduction once start
ed should be continued indeSniteiy.
It would be a serious mistake to reduce
farm production constandy. Snch a
course would raise prices temporarily,
but would restrict consumption, tad
create new farm competition at has
and abroad.”
Mr. Wallace added that it is neces
sary to recognize that crop control in
volves a restriction of agricultural pro
duction and declared that the only al
ternative is a recovery in agricultural
exports. . „.
“This can be soundly achieved, *

CHAPTER VI—Continued
—9—
At breakfast next morning Hays
raved about the fact that Smoky had
jot been there for over two weeks.
“Tilings air cornin’ to a head,” he
concluded, gloomily.
•'Reckon they ought to have made
pvo drives by now,” rejoined Happy
jack. “I rid down the valley yestiddy
elclit or ten miles. Cattle thinned out,
boss. Any cowboy with eyes in the
back of his head would be on to us by
BOW."
•'Shore. Haven’t I kept them work-
(a' up here. But IVe no control over
this hossback ridin' after hounds.
Pretty soon Herrick will be chasin’
down Limestone way. Then the fire’ll
be out.”
“Hank, he wouldn’t know the differ
ence,” interposed Jim.
“Aw, I don't care,” replied Hays,
harshly, and that finality intimated
Buch. "Wait till Smoky’s outfit shows
Op!”
Every morning when Jim rode down
to the corrals he fell back under the
spell of something sweeter than wine,
the sunny hours .with the sage flat
ahead, the fragrant pines, the baying
hounds, and always out In front this
bright-haired girl, were vastly differ
ent from the dark hours when the day
was done. Kothing could be truer
Ilian that this utterly incongruous and
bitterly sweet situation could not last
In moments of humility, engendered by
the higher emotions this girl aroused,
Jim clasped to his breast the fact that
he was protecting her from worse men.
Barnes and another of the cowboys
had taken the horses for the Herricks
op to the house. To Jim’s honest dismay
he espied Helen riding ahead, with the
cowboys behind leading her brother’s
mount. Herrick was not coming. The
hounds bounded and cavorted about
her, keen for the chase.
Miss Herrick looked far less proud
and unattainable in the boy’s riding
garb she had adopted. Moreover, It
had transformed her, yet her fem
ininity appeared more provokingly
manifest than ever.
Barnes turned Herrick’s horse over
to a stable boy, and with his com
panion fell in behind Miss Herrick,
who rode out upon the valley. Jim re
joined them, and they trotted their
horses together.
“Why didn’t Herrick come?” asked
Jim.
“He was rowin’ with Heeseman,” re
plied Barnes, soberly.
“You don’t say! What about?”
"Reckon I don’t know. They shet
»p as I come along,” returned the
cowboy. “But I seen enough to calki-
Iate somethin’s wrong. They was on
the porch. Herrick looked sort of
peevish. He didn’t want his sister to
So huntin’ today, I heard theL An’
ahe said right pert she was goin’.”
“How did Heeseman look?” went on
Jim, ponderingly. Something was up.
For two days Heeseman’s outfit had
been through hauling timber.
“Dead serious, like he was tryin’ to
Persuade the boss to somethin’.”
•Tim lapsed into silence. What turn
would affairs take next? It was get
ting warm around Star ranch.
Each day the hunters had to ride
farther afield to find game. Jack-
Mbbit chasing had grown too tame for
Miss Herrick.
Three or four miles out the bounds
Jamped a coyote from a clump of sage
brush.
The cowboys took the lead, then came
Miss Herrick, while Jim brought up
the rear. It was a long, gradual ascent
Pp to an open ridge.
Here the hounds jumped a. herd of
deer. Despite the yelling of the cow
boys they dashed up the ridge with a
chorus of wild yelps and barks. They
*11 passed out of bearing.
Jlm caught up with Miss Herrick,
waited in an open spot among the
Pines. Flushed, and disheveled, with
ber sombrero on the pommel, panting
from the arduous ride, she made a dis
tracting picture.
“Hunt’s off for us, Miss Herrick,"
•aid Jim.
"Too bad I But wasn't—It fun—while
It lasted?” she replied gayly. “Let us
f«st the horses. I’m out of breath my-
Bfil f.”
Jim dismounted to tighten his saddle

“Wall, take a look at my cinches,”

“May I ask you not to call me Wall?
I must remind you I’m no butler.”
“Pray pardon me,” she rejoined, In

“Yes, If you’re too stuck up to call

She lifted her chin and deigned no

“While I’m at it I’ll tell you this,
too,” he went on doggedly. “You must
not ride around alone again. I’ve had
no chance to speak with you. But I
told your brother. He laughed In my
fact He Is a fool.”
“Mr. Wall, I will not listen to such

"That last is obvious, to my regret,”
she returned coldly. “Will you please
be so kind as to tighten my cinches?
It will be the last service I shall re
quire of you.”
“Thank the Lord!” ejaculated Jim,
In grim heartiness. “All the same I’ll
tell you. If you were an American
tenderfoot, it wouldn’t be hard to make
you understand. If you were western,
you would not need to be told. But as
an English lady of quality, who thinks
her class, will protect her anywhere,
you need to be jarred. . . . It's wrong
for you to ride around alone on this
range like any wild tomboy.”
"Why?”
“Some of these men might kidnap
you for ransom.”
“Nonsense,” she retorted, contemptu
ously.
“What do .you say, Miss Herrick,
when I tell you that Hank Hays has
been watching you from the ridges,
riding the lonely trails, biding his
chance to waylay you?”
She paled at that
“I -don’t believe it,” she said, pres
ently.
“And you’ll go on riding alone when
It suits your royal fancy?” he queried
witheringly.
. “That is no longer any concern of
yours,” she replied, at last stung. “But
&
“But I Certainly Shall Ride When
and How I Pleaeei”
I certainly shall ride when and how I
“Then you’re as big a fool as your
brother,” declared Jim hotly. “Here I
am, the only man in this Star outfit
with honesty enough to tell you the
truth. And I get insulted and fired for
my pains.”
She sat her horse mute. Jim laid a
strong hand on her pommel and
shook it.
“Your saddle’s loose. Will you
oblige me by getting off?”.
“I can ride it back,” she rejoined,
Icily.
“But your blanket, will slip out. The
saddle might turn with you.”
She removed her foot from the stir
rup. “Tighten the cinches then—and
hurry.”
Jim complied expeditiously enough,
but In doing so he accidentally touched
her. Something, like fire shot through
him at the contact Under its stimulus
he looked up to say a few more words
to her, words to mitigate his offense
and protest his sincerity. But they
were never uttered. She had bent over
to fasten a lace of her boot, and when
Jim raised his head it was to find
his face scarcely a foot from her red
lips. Without a thought, In a flash, he
kissed them, and then drew back,
stricken.
“How dare you!” she cried, in in
credulous amazement and anger.
“It just happened. I—I don’t know—”
She swung her leather quirt and
struck him across the mouth. The
blood spurted. The leap of Jim’s
fury was as swift. He half intercepted
a second blow, which stung his neck,
and snatching the quirt from her hand
he flung it away. Then his iron clutch
fastened in her- blouse. One lunge,
dragged her out of the saddle. He
wrapped his other arm around her and
bent her back so quickly that when
she began a furious struggle it was too
late.
His mouth bard pressed on hers
stilled any but smothered cries. There
was a moment’s wrestling. She was
no weakling, but she was In the arms
of a maddfened giant Repeatedly he
kissed her lips, long, hard, passionate
kisses.
Suddenlyshecollapsed heavily in his
arms The stock of Ihat--nIts mean
ing—pierced Wall with something in
finitely more imperious and staggering
than bitter wrath. He let go of her.
There was blood on her lips and
cheeks; otherwise her face was like
alabaster.
“I think I must have been In love
wlfh you—and wanted to protect you
—from men worse than myself,” he
went on, huskily. "I hope this will be
a lesson to you. , . . Your brother was
crazy to come here—crazier to let you
come. Go home! Go before It’s too
late. Make him go. He will be ruined
shortly.”
She wiped the blood from her cheeks,
and then shudderingly from her lips.
“You—did that—to frighten me?”
she presently whispered, in horror, yet
as if fascinated by something looming.
“Get, on your horse and ride ahead
of me,” he ordered, curtly. “Now,
Miss Helen Herrick, one last word:
Don’t tell your brother what I did to
you tilt after I’m gone. . . . If you
do I'll kill him I”
She left a glove lying on the ground.
Jim made no effort to recover it. His
horse had grazed a few paces away,
and when he had reached him and
mounted Aliss Herrick was in her sad
dle. Jim let her get a few rods In
advance before he followed.
The excess of his emotion wore off,
leaving him composed, and sternly
glad the issue had developed as it had.
The situation had become intolerable
for him. It mocked him that he had
actually desired to appear well In the
eyes of this girl. How ridiculous that
one of a robber gang should be vain!
But he was not conscious that being
a thief made any difference In a man’s
feeling about women. He knew that
he could not command respect or love;
but that in no wise Inhibited his own
feelings. Strange, he had indeed fallen
In love with Helen Herrick.
She rode on slowly down the ridge
without looking to right or left Her
gaze appeared to be lowered.
The ranch-house came in sight. Miss
Herrick saw it and halted a moment,
to. let Jim catch up with her.
“Can you be gentleman' enough to
tell me the truth?” she askeA
“I have not lied to you,” replied Jim.
“That—that first time you kissed me
—was it honestly unpremeditated?”
"Miss Herrick, I don’t know what to
swear by. But, yes, I have. My
mother! I swear by memory of her
that I never dreamed of insulting you
—I looked up. There your face was
close. Your lips red! And I .kissed
them.”
They went on for perhaps ten paces,
as far as the road, before she spoke
again. “I believe you,” she said, with
out a tremor of the rich, low voice,
though it was evident her emotion was
deeply stirred. “Your action was in
excusable, unforgivable. But I should
not have struck you with the whip.
. . . That, and your passion to frighten
me, perhaps Justified your brutality.
. . . I shall not tell. . . . Don’t leave
Star ranch.”
For an instant Jim felt as if he were
upon the verge of a precipice. But
her change from revulsion to In
scrutable generosity called to all that
was good within him.
"Miss Herrick, I’m sorry, but I
must leave,” he replied, sadly. 4Tm
only a wandering rider—a gunslinger
and—a member of a gang of robbers.
And I was mad enough to fall In love
with you. . . . Forget it . . . Go
home to England. But if you won’t
do that—never ride out alone again.”
He spurred his horse and galloped
down the road, by the barns and across
the court, into the lane that led along
the brook Suddenly he espied a com
pact group of mounted riders coming
down the road beyond Hays’ cabin.
They bestrode bays and blacks, and
there was that about them which drew
Jim sharply up with a fiery thrill.
Smoky’s outfit!
Hays stood out In front of the cabin,
bareheaded, his legs spread apart as
if to anchor himself solidly, his hands
at his hips, his sandy hair standing
up ruffled like a mane.
"Hub! The boss Isn’t mad. Ok
no!” soliloquized Jim. “Small won
der. Smoky’s outfit has busted loose,
or is going to—Well, now, Fve a huncfi
there’s luck in this for me.”
. Jim made for the bridge and, cross
ing, looked up to see the horses o’
Smoky’s outfit standing, bridles down
and the riders up on the porch. Jim
mounted the steps.
Hank Hays sat upon the bench, bis
shaggy head against the wall, his pale
eye 3 blazing at the row of men lean
ing on the porch rail.
Smoky was lighting a cigarette, not
in the least perturbed, but his eyes had
a hard, steely gleam. Brad Lincoln
sat back on the rail, eyeing the chief
with a sardonic grin. Mac appeared
more than usually ghoulish; Bridges
and Sparrowhawk Latimer betrayed
extreme nervousness.
“Hello, men. What’s the mix? Am
I in or out?” returned Jim, sharply.
“I reckon you’re, in,” replied Slocum.
“Hank is the only one thet’s out. . . .
Hyar, Jim, ketch this.” He drew a
dark green, bundle from a bulging
pocket and tossed it to Jim—a large,
heavy roll of greenbacks tied with, a
buckskin thong.
“Yours on the divvy, Jim,” went on
Smoky. "Don’t count it now. . There’s
a heap of small bills Inside an’ if you
untie them hyar there’ll be a mess.
But it’s a square divvy to the last
dollar.”.
“Thet’s a hefty roll, Smoky, for a
man to get for nothing,” observed Jin*
dubiously.TO UB' OOfiiTlNUBft

The purpose of John in this epistle
is to furnish criteria by which one may
know beyond a peradventure that he
has eternal life (see I John 5:13). In
working out his purpose he sets down
a definite thesis In chapter I, verses
1-4, which is that eternal life was man
ifested to credible witnesses—John and
his fellow apostles—In the person of
Jesus Christ Through the incarnation
Jesus Christ has become identified with
the human race, so that those who be
lieve in him are introduced to the Fa
ther, resulting In a vital fellowship.
The saved one has fellowship with God,
or fellowship in the life eternal. The
entire epistle is devoted to the exhibi
tion of tests by which one can surely
know that he is saved. The lesson
unit for today is the culmination of
these tests.
1. B elieves’ T h a t Je su s Ie th e C hrist
tv. I).
Such faith is the proof of regener
ation. He not merely believes in the
ethics of Jesus, but that the historic
Jesus is the Messiah‘of God—the Son
of God' come in the flesh. The one
lacking this belief is still unregenerate;
regardless of his pretensions. Jesus
Christ is the giver of eternal life. Yea,
he is, in his very essential being, eter
nal life. Therefore, the one who be
lieves in him as manifest in the flesh
is born of God.
II. Loves th e C hildren of God (v. I).
The one born of God loves those who
are born of God. The unfailing test
of fellowship with God is that we love
those who are born of God. Love for'
God shows itself in loving God’s chil
dren. '
III. K eeps God’s C om m andm ents
(vv. 2, 3).
This is filial, not legal obedience. VVe
do not keep. God’s commandments in
order to become his children, but be
cause we possess his nature. Obedi
ence is the unfailing proof of the di
vine birth. >
IV. O vercom es th e W orld (vv. 4, 5).
Conflict for the regenerate man is
absolutely certain. The world’s ways
are opposed to God. By the world is
meant all that Is opposed to Godi It
Includes all the lust* of the flesh which
respond to the enticements of the
World. It also Includes Satan, the
prince of this world. Tbe one who be
lieves that Jesus is the son of God is
born of God and has Jesus Christ liv
ing in him. Therefore, he overcomes
the world, because be has In him one
who Is greater than Satan. Faitb in
Jesus Christ Is the weapon by means
of whicb victory Is realized. The vie*
torious life Is the absolute test of be
ing a Christian.
V. T h e G rounds of C hristian B elief
(vv. 6-12).
Since victory over the world is se
cured by faltb in Jesus as the Son of
GodlTt is Important that we know the
grounds upon which sucb belief Is
based. The believer’s faith rests upon
the threefold testimony of the Spirit,
the water, and the blood.
L The Spirit is the Holy Spirit, the
third member of the Godhead. His
supreme business is to make Christ
real. This he does to the spirit of the
believer (Rom. 8:16), and to the world,
through the Word of God and through
the lives and testimony of believers:
2. The water Is his baptism at the
Jordan. By baptism he formally en
tered upon his mediatorial work. It
was here that the Spirit came upon
him in the form of a dove, and that
the Father acknowledged him as his
Son.
3. The blocd is I hat of the Cross.
In the act of baptism be dedicated him
self to that task of making full a right
eousness for man on the cross of Cal
vary. This is doubtless what is meant
by “fulfilling all righteousness.” His
baptism and the crucifixion, with all
that they signified, were proofs that
Jesus was the very Son of God. The
witness of the cross of Christ is still
gripping and saving men.
Children a* Teachers
The child in the cradle is God’s child.
How, then, shall we take this little
child ?v We will take him as one who
brings a new revelation to us. The
children are the great teachers. They
tiring a' new revelation of God and his
love.
Call for Prayer
Emergencies call for intense prayer.
.Vhen the man becomes the prayer,
iothing can resist its'touch. Elijah on
• 'armel, bowed down on the ground,
vith his face between his. knees, that
vas the prayer—the man himself. '

“An’ what’s dat reason?” asked the
other.

shortness of de time,” said the first
Being Cute
Little John was busily watching
two little girls sitting behind him In
church. After the service a woman
who had noticed him and admired
his big blue eyes, said to him:
“John. I think you are about as
cute as they grow, aren’t you?”
“Well, I ain’t as cute as the two
little girts who were behind me,” lit
tle John replied.
Had Heard About Tbat
Little Johnny, aged seven, had
been taken to the zoo. He stood be

Which Way, G. 0. P.?
There is growing up in the Re
publican Party a school of thought
favorable to competing with the
competing with; the Democratic
Party' bv pfesetitipg a program and
candidate more radical than Demo
cracy’s. The name most frequent
ly mentioned in this connection is
Robert M. LaFolletteof Wisconsin.
To us this does not appear to be
the logical course for Republican
isin. The field for the party of
Lincoln does not lie in any con
scious endeavor to be fantastic.' To
the complete contrary, its field lies
in appealing to those who believe
that the lamp of experience pro
vides the most satisfactory light on
the future. '
There is no intention here to sug
gest that the?party should be re
actionary. Tt can be progressive
without being preposterous. It can
be conservative without being
sTaudpat lb either method or
I bought. There is such a thing as
liberal conservatism.
By its direction since March, of
1 9 3 3. the Ejemocratic Party, or at
least that part of it which at this
time counts, has assumed that the
American future can be carved from
idealistic theories or theoietical
ideals. Both by tradition and pre
sent opportunity, the Republican
Earty can be the vehicle of articula
tion for those who believe that there
is enormous salvage value in a
system of 'government which has
elevated America to the top rung a-
mong nations.
The channels are deeply etched
for the continuence of two party,
rule by majority government in A-
merica. The issues are far Clearer
than they everwere when the divi
sion was on .high, low or no tariff.
The new lineup can be conserva
tive versus liberal or liberal versus
-radical, as you choose to have it.
Wbatevgr the nomenclature the
LaFolleftes and. their ilk will be
fotiud iu the second group, or by
themselves.—Mason 'City, (Iowa)

FarmersUrged to Avoid
Depreciation.
Those farmers who maintain their
property in good condition and
make an honest attempt to' meet
their obligation need not fear fore
closure by tIie Farm Credit Admin
istration, Governor W. - I. Myers
has announced. ; /
■ With repairs to •• farm buildings
kept up, depreciation will be halt
ed and the-farmer will eventually
work bis way out of his financial
difficulties ..said Mr. Myers in a re
cent address to presidents of the 1 2
Federal land- banks,
* Simple Greatness.
Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, physician
to the world-famous Dionne quin
tuplets, after a visit of three weeks
has arranged to go back to his
home in Ontario.
Appeals from New York women
who desired to have his services at
the birth of their babies, fell on
Ueaf ears.
•‘Why should they want me. for
a doctor?” he queried. There are
lots of good ones in New Yoek.
No—I’m a country doctor. .I’ve
been one for 2 7 years, and I’m go:
ing back where I belong, A man’s
smartest when he does what he
knows best and doesn’t fool around
with things he doesn’t know any
thing about—don’t you think?”
Whether or not he knew it, the
country doctor expressed a profound
truth and gave a splendid index to
his character. His ^philosophy of
life should recommend itself to a
great many more people than it
has done so far.—Twin City Sen
tinel.
A budget is a good thing for anv
family if the family will carry it
out, but it won’t wotk miracles by
itself.
