This is Christmastime, and I am wondering just what our thoughts are at this time My mind carries me back to the little room in the stail with the animals; it. also re minds me of the Savior who, though born in a stable, was to be come the King of the world. I am asking the same old questior: What think ye of Jesus which is' the Christ?” Christmas! When I read in the dailies of the number of million aires and the numerous companies who have their salaries boosted to the § 2 5 0 0 0 mark and beyond, I think of the average workers and producer of all of this wealth star ving on living on charity When I say charity, I mean just what our relief workers see fit to give, and that is. from my observation, a poor stick, for all of this govern mental bounty is administered by expert politicians. You vote our way or ypu are put of luck. Now this is wonderful. The slaughtering crowd under the sup ervision of Mr. JainesColeman, has overstripped the canning facilities. Well, that amounts to very little Bv the rime all of these half-starv ed cattle have been slaughtered and canned in North Carolina it will be summer—and it’s a God’s blessing, for when one receives it, it will be.somewhat like the bully beef that was served to_ the, volun teers of 1 8 9 8 . which' kilied about halt Of those whose lives were sa. criiiced in the Spanish-American w a r .t — •; -.V-V- Just consider for a minute. Take a man who has spent his life in construction and place him in the highly technical position of pre paring meats for human - consump tion. What chance has the re cipient? Not much, I would say. Now this engineer would . be I think, competent to make a con crete block or brick, but to pass on cows on bulls as well as canning, I have my doubts. If you have any misgivings as to the kind of cattle being slaughted and canned at the Raleigh slaugh terhouse and cannery, just 4 0 as I have done—visit the pasture^ and take a look at the cows and bulls. You will then, I am sure, be con vinced of the ability and knowledge of our expert engineer who, under Mrs. O’Berry, is directing this great canned beef enterprise. The only redeeming feature I see in this whole beef canning enter prise in Raleigh is that the winter will be over before the poor will have to a chance on the canned beef be'tried out at Dix Hill and at the O’Berry negro instititutiou at Goldsboro before passing it on to others. If Sunshine Jon=S from Golds boro and a few Of the escaped mar derers from Dix Hill could have gotten a dose of ’98 bully beef they never would have escaped. Es cape would-have been the last thing iu their minds. A doctor would have been their desjre—and then an undertaker. ' This whole show is politics. If you doubt this, just make a trip with me some day. Ic is the. pub lie relief agencies that I am trying to write about, and in that role I am including JVIrs.

It now appears that the "forgot ten man” isn’t the only thing that has been forgotten by the present Democratic set-up in Washington. For quite a spell previous to the Noyemberelection Postmaster Gen eral Farley assured everybody that he intended to play .the part of Santa Claus to oue and all (especial ly the voters) by bringing back the postage rate ,on first class letters to two cents instead of the three cents now charged. Investigations all over the United States should have convinced the Democrats in control (if they were only business men) that when Uncle Sam’s of ficial bosses slapped a fifty percent rise on the cost of mailing a letter, they drove away millions of dollars worth of postage business. For merchants and business firms gen eral Iy, who had previously posted their announcements, bills, monthly memoranda, etc , at the two cents rate, found they could use their own clerks , or messengers to de liver these local letters at less ex pense. Andthusasizeableportion of the Postal business was weaned away, perhaps never to be regained. But many who were not in busi ness, persons in limited circum stances, persons finding it necessary to write home for help or a thous: and other things, frequently found it actually hard to do so, with post age rates up fifty percent more than they should be. The thought of being soaked this extra penny on every letter mailed has set. well on AmericansigeheralLyl-J--EspeciaHy as everybody knew and still knows that the money thus raised is be ing wasted on saping setting armies of youthful political favorities, par tisan experiments in all sorts of Collegiate Communistic schemes, and so forth. Well, now that the election is safely past, Farley aunounces that the promised- 1 eduction of letter postage to two cents from three cents will N O Tbepartof bis Christ mas gift to the people. His boast ed "surplus”. in Postal revenues (which we show elsewhere never happened) must continue- to be maintained. However, just to prove that the Democratic administration has at least not forgotten the man who has' money in the bank, the fellow who is able to pay three Cents when he writes a letter, .Brother Farlev assures us that his as Santa Claus includes the "gift” of taking off the 2 cents revenue stamp tax on every check the .man with money in bank draws. .W hichw ethink is a heck of a wav to bamboozle the poor and tos s a sop to the rich.—The Yellow Jacket. - ' The Wonderful Relief! “Driving down a country road” says Tom Johnson, in Minneapolis BetterW ay1 "we saw a line-up of autos—eleven of them by actual count. A little fuither down the road we saw ten men. and, appar ently an overseer—eleven in all, cutting weeds, raking them up and burning them. Eleven men and eleven cars. About a mile down the road we came to a small town. Our curiosity being aroused, we stopped; and . made inquiry as to what was going on up the road. Oh, it’s one of the county emer gency relief gangs working,’ an swered a store keeper. Eleven men, eleven cars, county relief gang!” —Ex. - ■ j" M n f blgSer clerks, are people/Whio do not 'need the dole. And that is abputiwhat this - whole lock eyisd thifik amounts to, and those w h o are-,administering it. ..are receiving a dole as much- as the,, re-, cipient, even" though ; they life big political snots.—T. W. Duke, Ra- " N.-C, ' Taxes—Then More Taxes. The purchaser oLa loaf of bread pays i 7 kinds of taxes when he lays his dime on the counter. If he walks home on leaving the store, .he is wearing out shoes which are taxed 23 times. If he rides in an automobile, he is payi - 2 4 2 different kinds of taxes. If he taxes a subway or an elec tric car, the total number of visible taxes which are part, of the cost of his fare runs to about 5 8. AU ot these taxes, obviously, ate indirect—and very few of us know that we pay (hem Tax ignorance is the'crowning tlein ut in mass ignorance today. Most of us pay few or no taxes directly—and me think because of that we are con tributing nothing to the cost of government. There is not a thing in the world that isn't taxed. The h'.use we live in represents a legion of taxes —running all "the way from taxes on standing timber to taxes paid bv the store which sold the finish ing paint and the manufacturers which produced it. Food, clothing, transportation, entertainment, pe- riodicris,' books—the tax bill is a substantial item in their cost to tbe'*■ .consumer. It is obvious that these indirect taxes—which provide the bulk of governmental revenue—fall more heavily on persons of moderate means than on those with higher incomes. A loaf of bread will last a millionaire as long as it will a laborer—and the [tax is Jhe same on theToat'e'aeh birysr Tax reduction would be the greatest boon the a- verage American could have—a boon that would'at once be reflect ed in more jobs, more purchasing power, more spending for the necessities and luxuries which keen the industrial machine turning. We will have tax reduction when we spend less tax money—and not until then. Only massed public opinion, backed up by knowledge of the facts, can bring it about. The cost of government can and must be reduced —all the wav from Washington- down to the smallest hamlet in the land. R. L. Keller Passes. R. L.

H art ness, of Statesville, former Secretary of State, and for more than 30 years Clerk of the Iredell county court. Mr. Hartness was a great politician, a leading democrat, excelled by none in this state save Aus Watts, who passed away several years ago. .Mr. Hartness suffered a heart at tack on Christmas day, and passed away in a few hours. The second death was that of Archibald Johnson, of Thomasville,- for more than 4 0 years editor of Caarity and Children, the oigan of the Baptist orphanage in North Carolina. Mr. Johnson was an outstanding Baptist, and fought for what he thought and believed to be right. His paper was one of the most forceful and outsnoken in tbe state. While a democrat, Mr. Johnson wasn’c afraid to express his honest opinion and criticise the politicians when they deservod it. He bad been in bad health for tbe past ten years or more. His place will be hard to fill. He passed a- way on Dec. 2 7th. Mrs. Clyde Carter Passes.

Wants Papers To Print MorewOId-Time Hap penings.” "I wish the newspapers would print more news of the things that happened in the long ago, say at least the latter part of the last century,” remarked a visitor from Greensboro Saturday. He went on to say that today nearly every paper is filled with crime and accidents, many of which cause the average reader to shudder wbeu even a glance is taken at the headlines. "My idea is that a great majority of the newspaper readers-would be interested in stories about how our foarfathers lived and died.” con tinued the visitor. “ Talk about hardships, t h e present generation knows little about ’em,” said the party quoted. J1Take the number of people be ing fed and perhaps clothed by fed eral and local agencies,” said this party, "but when we hear of those being provided for owning auto mobiles and being able to buy gas and oil, what would the people of the past century think of this?”- was asked. - . He related stories heard about certain folks driving their cars in tbe city and county to the head quarters where food is being dis pensed .

Harold McGugin, of Kansas, who was the speaker at the Lincoln Day dinner, in Greens boro, last February and wbat a charming speaker he was and 1 the words of wisdom that he delivered to the assemblage. McGugiii, who represented the third Kanasas district went down in the Democratic hurricine in No vember due to the government money that was poured out in his district like water Hereishisdis- trict like water. Here is how ' he tells it: *' I was defeated for re-election. I was able to carry, to agricultural sections of my district, but they put me down in the industrial section. I received 4 9 per cent of the votes and was defeated by 2 200 votes. Tbev went a long way with the expenditure of public money in the guise of relief to carry this district. They put in. four meat canning factories in this district, employing about 6 0 0 people in each' factory. They also put in two laundries em ploying several hundred people each. They were in operation a- bout eight weeks before the elec tions. Nowwtthinthreedayspfter tbe election all o£ithem-have %|en closed. They were carryin a total employment of between 2 ,5 0 0 - and 3 ,0 0 0 people. Altogether they re presented about 4 5 0 0 votes.

He has be come as silent as the grave since some of the statisticians turned his surplus into a deficit. The three- cent postage stamp is still being used. ^Thirteen bundled motorists were arrested last Wednesday for driving their cars with 1934 license plates. . And yet we read a few days ago that a state officer drove bis auto all the way from Rutherfordton to Raleigh without any license plates at all, and :he wasn’t arrested. Where were all of the state high way patrolmen that this democratic official could drive three or four hundred miles without auy auto tags on his car? We have always contended that the patrolmen were tvorth just abpttt as much in pre yhnting auto wrecks as bloodhounds .were in capturing criminals. - Democratic members of the North Carolina legislature seem to be be tween the devil and the deep blue sea.-: The folks back home are de manding a: $ 5 license plate for auto mobiles and. the repeal of the sales tax.

UTLEY W HAT to do with the man who wants to work, who is able to work, who needs money for himself and his family, but who simply can’t find a job, is one of the most important issues facing the country today. It’s no new problem. There are, even in normal times, some 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 workers who have no work; but now,'with'the world still In the throes of the depression, that figure has probably multiplied five times or more. It would hardly be possible to se cure employment for everyone with out changing the industrial structure and the country’s whole system of pro duction. But while we are trying to alleviate the condition to the greatest possible degree, we have got to So something to relieve not the lack of work itself, but the lack of life’s ne cessities to the families of the unem ployed. “Relief,” “work relief" and “made work” have been doing the job so far and have drained enormous sums from governmental treasuries. To lighten this drain, to administer aid to the unemployed more efficiently and to make for what might be a more unified, permanent method of adminis tration, prominent factions, led by Wil liam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Prances Per kins, secretary of labor, favor a na tionally-unified system of compulsory unemployment Insurance. The plan approved by the President’s economic security advisory committee ers, yet during the first half of 1032, the last period for which figures are available, the benefits cost the taxpay ers 64,000,000 florins, or more than $25,- 000,000 at par. Norway’s trade unions succeeded in insuring only 8 per cent of the total number of workers. In Switzerland, Yugoslavia and Spain, government subsidies were constantly growing In the last few years. In Fin land, the voluntary Insurance plan, In fact, all unemployment Insurance, was abolished because of accusations of Communistic tendencies In the trade union groups. While the chief objections that have been thrown at voluntary unemploy ment insurance through the trade unions are that they have not insured enough of the workers and have re- roHs‘were single men without depend ents, married men with wives working or widows without dependents. The attitude of the employer—and even of the taxpayer—in most cases is ttWhat would we have done without it?” Meanwhile the unemployment insur ance fund was the subject of so much legislation this way and that, that It had both legislators and onlookers dizzy. Germany, after much experimenting with methods of handling unemploy* ment relief, investigated Great Brit ain’s unemployment insurance system and, in 1927. decided to give an experi ment similar to that one a try. Bene fits, derived from contributions of a similar source to those of Great Brit ain’s scheme, were applied to virtually all types of workers, including the ag ricultural. But the system, like so many others, was not comprehensive enough to care for extraordinary con ditions and, like so many others, be* came simply a matter of relief and did little or nothing to ease its own burden by creating jobs or by allowing Jts I » H i Right:Group of Unemployed.

The employer would bear the full expense of the plan. The federal government would aid state Insurance plans, which It had approved, by pay ing grants to the state funds from this tax. If this plan should be accepted by, the country, jobless workers would be paid SO per cent of their former sal aries, but not less than $15, each week for 25 weeks In the year. The tax fund would pay for the first 15 weeks and as many more weeks as any par ticular state saw fit. Three old age pension plans were also considered. Tried in Europe. While new to any great extent In the United States, unemployment in surance- has been tried extensively throughout Europe, with questionable success. Voluntary unemployment In surance through trade unions has been tried by Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Den mark, France, the Netherlands, Nor way, Spain, Switzerland, Itigoslavia and Finland, and all but the latter still have It to some degree. Austria, Bul garia, Germany, Great Britain, the Irish Free Stare, Italy, Luxemburg, Northern Ireland, Poland. Russia and Switzerland, as well as New Zealand and Queensland, Australia, have com pulsory unemployment Insurance. Berne, Switzerland, started the first communal unemployment insurance fund in 1803, and In the years follow ing, many other Swiss towns and can tons followed suit. But the real cra dle of unemployment insurance was Belgium, where the City of Ghent be gan a voluntary plan In 1902. This plan spread rapidly throughout Bel gium and adjacent territories In Eu rope. It was a failure, for the work ers didn’t seem to want it, and in 1931 less than 30 per cent of thein were insured. The system was costing the government huge sums of money, about the only success within its claims be ing attributable to government sub sidies.Much the same situation existed with other countries who tried voluntary insurance against unemployment suf fering. Czechoslovakia, with only 31 feer cent of its workers insured, drained its national treasury to such an extent In aiding the relief programs that the plan, while still in use, is generally recognized as inadequate. France has some 300 voluntary systems, with only about 300,000 workers so insured; the associations, playing a minor rote in relief, have constantly been In difficul ties. France has another system, based upon local municipal funds assisted by federal grants; these grants have had to be Increased year after year until Anally they were more than double in proportion; and the lion’s share of tfce taoneys for local distribution was com ing from taxpayers throughout the na tion.Found It Expensive. The JNetherIands1 trade anions to- gured only about one-third of the work- quired governmental subsidies out ol proportion to the amount of good they have accomplished, only the latter crit icism has applied to compulsory insur ance, economically speaking. Compul sory insurance simply hasn’t been able to meet emergency situations. Great Britain, with its Unemploy ment Insurance act of 1911, became the first great experimenter with compul sory unemployment insurance. At first it was limited only" to a few trades. Insuring only 2,250,000 workers, it re quired equal contributions to the fund from the employee, employer and gov ernment To stabilize employment, employers were granted refunds as bonuses for providing steady employ m ent Refunds were offered to em ployees who had paid for long periods. Both of these amendments were soon withdrawn as having little effect and being difficult of administration. The plan was in a few years extend ed to include virtually all types of workers, the only ones left out being agricultural workers and domestic serv ants. It worked satisfactorily in nor mal times, but soon came the great war. By 1916 there were 1,250,000 ad ditional workers engaged in the manu facture of munitions. The government extended the benefits of the insurance fund to these workers, as well as to thousands of others In allied indus tries. Then Came the Dole. Tivo years later, with the end of the war in sight, the government was re quired to make somo provisions for the return of several million men and women engaged on the battlefronts, making the world safe for democracy. They had to have jobs or an income when they returned home. The gov ernment, operating through die labor exchanges of tbe insurance system, be gan making “out of work” donations— the beginning of the' oft-lamented “dole.”So many were still- out of jobs by 1920 that unemployment insurance ben efits had to be extended to more peo ple, Including agricultural and domes tic workers. Continued unemployment required extensions of the time limit in the benefit payments. In March, 1921, tbe insurance fund was permit ted to borrow up to 10,000,000 pounds from the exchequer. Although intend ed to be temporary, the extended bene fits have been allowed ever since. And until 1931, the insurance fund was al lowed to continue its borrowing from the government. By the time a stop had finally been put to the flow of money from the treasury, the debt of the Insurance fund had reached $575,- 000000. In addition, local relief au thorities spend about $125,00,000 a year caring for the unemployed. : Criticisms were hurled at the Brit ish government that the dole and the system of extended benefits were pro ducing a great share of the unem ployed population wnich preferred to remain unemployed, because it could get money without working, anyway. More than half those on the benefit industries to try their hand at creating jobs and taking workers off relief rolls. Tiie 700,000 workers out of work when the 1927 act was passed became more than 0,000,000 by February, 1932. It simply returned the heavier work of caring for the unemployed to the national and local governments. By the middle of 1929 it owed the govern ment $65,000,000. Before another year had passed the figure had risen to $148,000,000 and all hope of payment vanished. At the end of 1930 federal subsidies and loans to tbe insurance fund stood at $279,800,000, which had to be taken from the pockets of the taxpayers, many of whom also paid their contributions to the Insurance fund. Worse and Worse. Despite all these grants, there were at the end of 1931, only 1,642,000 out of 5.C6S.000 unemployed who were de riving regular benefits. A total of 1,011,000 were receiving no aid at all. While undoubtedly no more Inoppor tune time for the institution of a Ger man unemployment system could have been selected, it Is certainly obvious that the plan has been a complete fail ure, and no better off, financially, than the British system. . Bulgaria and Austria have been more successful with compulsory unemploy ment insurance, although the Austrian government was forced to cancel a debt of approximately 820,000,000 owed it by the insurance fund. Italy and the Irish Free State have been the out standing examples of the financial suc cess of social insurance. However, Italy’s insurance covers only 4,500,000 workers out of 19,000,000. For the classifications for which' it is Intended, it may be said that It has paid out benefits which total only 44.4 per cent of the contributions. The Irish hhve consistently kept contributions ahead of disbursements. American business leaders refuse to consider that unemployment Insurance is emergency legislation, and through the voice of their conference at Warm Springs, Ga., In December, they have asked that legislation on the subject be deferred until such time that they may make a comprehensive study of social insurance and determine wheth er or not a feasible plan may be worked out The conference has asked that the business leaders and capital be given a chance for a year at least to see what they can do to restore norm al business conditions, creating better markets and more jobs. The chairman of- the Warm Springs confer ence, Mr. C. B. Ames, was named to head the committee to study unem ployment Insurance. A Western Kewapaptr Onion.

Since Jesus wa? soon to go to the cross, it was neces sary for the disciples to have a defi nite and true conception of him. In order to help them Into the right con- ception he provoked this confession from Peter, as the spokesman of the group of disciples. I. Peter’s Confession (w . 13-16). 1. How provoked (v. 13) .Two ques tions put to the disciples called forth this great confession. a. Who do men say that the Son of Man ls? (v. 13). He first Inquired fot the opinion of the people concerning him. It is not enough to think that he was a great teacher. Had he been con tent with this, be would not have been molested at Jerusalem, for this tbe Jews willingly acknowledged. It was bis persistent claim to be the God-Man, tbe Messiah, the Son of God, that sent him to the cross. b. Who say ye that I am? (v. 15). This question involved the personal opiniou of the disciples. To be able to tell what others think of Jesus Is not enough; there must be definite, correct, and personal belief In him. Belief and character are inseparably united. ' 2. What Peter’s confession involved (v. 16). It was his Messiahsbip and Deity. Tbe burning question of tbe hour is, “What tbink ye of Christ?” It is a question that must be answered by every one. 3. Christ’s, commendation it Petet (v. 17). He pronounced him blessed. He was truly blessed, for he both pos sessed and confessed Christ His con fession showed his touch with the Heavenly Father. II. The New Body, the Church, An nounced by Christ (vv. 18-20). At this juncture Christ declared Ma Intention of bringing into existence a new body. Peter was to' have a dis tinguished place In this body. He de clared that Peter should be a founda tion stone in big Church. Christ la tbe chief corner stone upon which the Church *is built Christ’s person and MessIahshlp were confessed by Peter and on this rock, the truth confessed, Is laid the foundation of the apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20). He further declared that association In this new body could not be broken by death, fot the gates of Hades should not prevail against it III. The Cross the Way to the Throne (vv. 21-23). From that time Jesus began to show unto his disciples that he must go untc Jerusalem, to suffer many things, to be killed and raised.again the third day. This, Indeed, startled the disciples. They did not as yet-realize that re demption was to be accomplished through the sufferings of the cross. So unwelcome was this announcement that Peter said, “This shall not be unto tbee.” Peter later saw through this darkness to the glory of the hill tops. A new hope then filled his breast (I Pet 1:3. 4). Christ’s victory tbrongh death is yet a stumbling block to many. Many are stumbling over the doctrine of Sdlvatlon through the sufferings of the cross. Salvation by blood Is hated by the devil. IV. The Grand Objective of the Members of the Church (I P et 2:5, 6). It is the highest ambition of every Christian to become a working part of 'Christ’s glorious Church, which has as Its supreme design the showing forth of the glory of God. It Is this that beckons the believer on to the highest and best in life. No higher motive can actuate anyone than to make manifest the glory of God. The Church, God’s spiritual bouse, bas the living Christ as Its chief corner stone and head. Be- canse of their relationship to him, the believers are living stones, deriving their preciousness from him. While the world saw no beauty or comeliness In Christ God esteemed him precious and esteems every believer precious be cause of his vital union with Christ Belief in Christ The condition of salvation Is that kind of belief In Jesus Christ which authenticates itself In repentance Tor the past and an amendment of life for tbe future.—I* L. Noble. The Soul’s Aspirations The immortality of this life makes men yearn for a better country. Tthe soul of man, the mark of the Creator upon bis creature, should make him long for that heavenly dty. The soul is too big to be satisfied away from God. Believe in Yourself Too .

News Review of Current Events the World Over Representative Tinkham’s Scathing Attack on Secretary Perkins—Senator Lewis Warns Against Any More Disarmament Treaties. By EDWARD W. PICKARD 5 by Western Newspaper Union. Secretary P erki r)8 GEORGE H. TINKEAM, tlie beard ed and sharp-toagued represent ative from Massachusetts, has revived the controversy \ over the League ot Nations with an as sertion that the Unit ed States is being slipped into the league through the back door. He says the joint res olution adopted in the last few days of the S e v e n t y-third con- g r e s s . making the United States a mem ber of the interna tional labor organiza tion was the first of a contemplated series of moves designed to put the United States openly into the league, con trary to the wishes of the people and of congress, and Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins was the especial ob ject of his attack-. Using such harsh words .as "fraud” and “intrigue,” Mr. Tinkham accused Secretary Perkins of employing ’‘contemptible trickery” In advocating the adoption of the resolu tion. Mr. Tinkham quoted the labor secre tary as saying that the international la bor organization, “is not even now an integral part of the League of Nations, and membership in the organization does not imply affiliation with the league.” He continued: “This statement is the grossest per version of the truth. It is squarely contrary to the facts—facts established by an indelible record, the treaty of Versailles. The statement contained in the letter of the secretary of labor was intended to deceive. The secre tary knew that the congress of the United States was opposed to entry into the League of Nations and would not vote for entry knowingly. Entry was therefore made surreptitiously and fraudulently. “Article 392 of the treaty of Ver sailles states: '* ‘The international iabor office shall be established at the seat of the League of Nations as part of the or ganization of the league.’ “This audacious intrigue to have the United States enter the League of Na tions by way of one of the organs of the league is to be followed by an at tempt to have the United States enter another of its organs, the Permanent Court of International Justice of the League of Nations, this subsequently to be followed by a proposal of full membership in the League of Nations. Thus, the independence of the United States will be destroyed, the will of the American people thwarted, and the United States inevitably involved In the next European conflict.” SENATOR JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS of Illinois, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations and a veteran in international con ferences, has set forth a view concerning treaties for disarma ment or reduction of armaments that will meet with the ap proval of many of his fellow citizens, though they are sharply at variance with those ot the administration. He evidently is glad the Washington naval . pact is dying, owing Senator Lewis to the action of Japan, and he says that in future the United States must, for its own sake, remain aloof from all such agreements, because they are almost certain to embroil us in war. Addressing the National Forum in Washington, Senator Lewis declared the recent naval conversations in London succeeded only in designing a “chart of death to men, destruction to nations,” and he warned against the renewal of the Washington treaty. “Plain it must be,” Senator Lewis pointed out, “that should we enter the deal, and it is disobeyed by any of its parties, the United States must be called on by the nations involved to lend ourselves to enforce, the compact. This means war upon the United States by the nations we threaten to force to obedience, or war from the na tions we refuse to aid in the enforce ment. “To the United States nothing but evil and danger awaits our entrance into any international contract with foreign nations preparing for war on each other.” America wants no war and wants armaments only for self-defense, the senator said, and America does not recognize the right of any interna tional conference to tell her what arms she needs for that purpose. “On this right of our own self-de fense America stands sovereign in her guarded isolation,” he informed other ntaions. “We deny the privilege of any nation to dictate to the United States the quantity or quality of pro tection our nation shall adopt” War can come to the United States only through her foreign entangle ments, Senator Lewis explained, and because of the present warlike attitude of the world, America must stand isolated. O PEAKING of war, it is interesting to learn that the senate mission to the Philippines has discovered that those islands “possess the most Im portant source of war material under the American flag.” Senator Tydlngs of Maryland sent the word from Manila that there are in Zambales province deposits of chromite so large that they have attracted the attention of other nations. John W. Haussermann, dean of the islands’ gold mining indus try, told the senators these deposits may soon take their place as one of the most important ore bodies In the world, and he added significantly that chromium is the one war material which the United States does not have in ample quantities within its borders. These deposits in the Philippines were discovered after the Tydings-McDuffie independence act was drafted. It is easy to see that this news will be of immense interest to Japan, which, in its plans for territorial expansion, is ever on the lookout for war material sources. p O P E PIUS S I is not optimistic con- eerning world peace. In his Christ mas eve address, delivered according to custom to the cardinals resident in Home, the Holy Father said that "the CJamor of war spreads ever farther** and he urged the world to pray and work for peace. “We see a constant increase in warlike arms,” the pone continued. This is a distracting element in which the spirit seems to have no part We are on the eve of a day when the heavens resound with the hymns of angels calling for peace on earth. Never has the chant had more reason for being than today.” King George, in a radio address to all parts of the British empire, was a little more cheerful. He adjured his peoples beyond the seas” to remem- oer that they all belonged to one great family. "My desire and hope is that the same spirit of brotherhood may be come ever stronger in its hold and >vider in its range,” the king said. “The world is situ restless and trou bled. The elonds are lifting, but we have stili our own anxieties to meet. I am convinced that if we meet them in th'e spirit of one family we shall over come them, for then private and party interests will be controlled by care for the whole community.” He made a special effort to reach the restless multitudes in India, whose fate now is In the hands of parliament by assuring them of bis "constant care ot them.” President Roosevelt's brief Christ mas talk was addressed especially to the citizens of America, calling for “courage and nnity,” for greater hap piness and the improvement of human welfare./ pKOSECUTION and defense attor- 1 neys completed their preparations for the trial of Bruno Hauptmann on the charge of murdering the Lindbergh baby, and the UttIe town of Fleraiogton, N. J., was a busy place. The names of 48 veniremen w e re drawn for examina tion as jurors, and the sensation o v e r th e mailing of a satire on the Lindbergh case to 160 prospective jurors died down. c. Lloyd Fisher, defense .coun sel, said he would not ask for a new panel. Betty Gow, the nurse who put the Lindbergh baby to bed the night he was kidnaped and killed, arrived from Scotland on the liner Aquitania and went at once to the Morrow home to Englewood, N. J., to await her call as one of the state’s star witnesses. She declined to talk to reporters, but posed S V ^ eramfen- There was a report that Miss Gow might remain In this country and take up her former Job in the Lindbergh household. She had acted as nurse for Jon, second son born to the Lindberghs, -until she re turned to her home in Scotland several months ago. ; Hauptmann seemed calm as the time for his ordeal approached, and he ate a hearty Christmas dinner. Mrs. Hauptmaun, who moved from the Bronx to Flemington to be near her husband, made a radio appeal “to the people of the country to wait until they hear every side of the story be fore they condemn him.” She reiterated her belief that Haupt mann had nothing to do with the kid naping of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. She repeated • her story that Haunt- mann had waited for her ,at a Bronx bakery where she worked the night of the kidnapping and that he had taken ner Dome. M-a V 0 p the ransom money found in tBe Hauptmann home and garage she °“ ,the of * * husband’s story that he got the money from Isi- dor Fish, who is dead. Mrs. Haupt mann told parts of her story amid sobs. Bruno Hauptmann ONE of the worst American rallway- wrecks of the year occurred at Dundas, Ont., when a Christmas ex cursion train bound from London, Onk, to Toronto was telescoped by the De- troit-to-Toronto express on the Cana dian National railways line as it stood on a siding. Apparently the express ran through the open switch. Two wooden coaches were demolished, and about fifteen persons were killed. More than a score of others were injured. A third coach was thrown on end close to the edge of a 150-foot cliif. The alertness and quick thinking of Engineer B. Burrell of the speeding train from Detroit, ^as credited by railway officials with having averted an even greater tragedy. Seeing no hope of preventing the !ocomoti"e from piling into the rear of the special train, Burrell ordered it cut loose from the conches behind and prevented them from telescoping. SOLDIERS from Great Britain, Italy Sweden and Holland, to the num ber of 3,300, under the command of Maj. J. E. S. Brind, a British vet eran of (several wars, marched into the Saar fx'om north and south with flying colors, and were stationed at stra tegic points throughout the area, prepared to maintain order until after the plebiscite of January 13 which will determine whether the Saar shall again be come a part of Ger many or remain under control of the League of Nations. The arrival of the troops was watched by the league authorities with consider able anxiety for there had been fears that Nazi enthusiasts there might cause trouble. But the Inhabitants of the basin remained quiet, none of them showing either enmity or enthusiasm for the league’s armed forces. Under the terms of the treaty of Versailles any person living In the Saar at the time of the signing of the treaty is eligible to vote In the plebi scite, and the Nazis of Germany made great efforts to gather as many of their adherents as possible from other lands to which they had migrated. From the United States 352 Saar Ger mans traveled back to their old home aboard the liner Bremen, and were wel comed with feasts, as was another large contingent from South America. The German government denied that it was paying the expenses of these voters from abroad, asserting they were financed by private donations. Major Brind PEACE In central Europe was pro moted by two events. The Jugoslav ian cabinet resigned and a new cabinet was formed with Bogoljub Tevtitch as premier. As foreign minister be had conducted the case of his country against Hungary before the League of Nations and accepted the compromise decision, and he is a close friend of Prince Paul, head of the regency, who is inclined to a moderate course. The Austrian government refused the extradition to France of Colonel Per- chevich, Croat eiile, who was accused, along with Dr. Ante Pavelich1 of insti gating the assassination of King Alex ander In Marseilles. Italy had previ ously refused the extradition of Pave- lich. It is said in informed quarters that further examination of these too men would have revealed facts that would have endangered peace in Eu rope. COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH, by his flights across Arctic regions in 1933, has enabled the Department of Agriculture to demonstrate conclusive ly that the spores of plant disease can be borne on remote air currents. With a spore trap of his own devis ing, which he called “the skyhook,” Colonel Lindbergh obtained specimens which continued the previous theories of government experts that plant dis eases may be carried even across con tinents by air currents. That was announced by Fred C. Meier, the department expert who in terested Colonel Lindbergh in the work. Colonel Lindbergh devised his “the skyhook,” a light, strong contrivance, easy to operate and well adapted to protecting sterile glass slides from con tamination except for the time they were exposed. Mr, Meier prepared the slides and has examined and photo graphed them. He credits Colonel Lind bergh with careful work. AFTER winning the handicap prize in the Engiand-to-Melbourne air race, the giant American-built plane Uiver, pride of the Royal Dutch Air Lines, started on a speed flight from Amsterdam to Batavia, Java, with sev en persons aboard.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—Seven members of a family were found dead in what po lice described as a case of murder and suicide by a distraught mother. It was believed her grief over the recent death of a son drove her to slay a sis ter in Dunkirk, N. T., and then come here to complete the annihilation of the family. Amid the modest Christens decora tions in the suburban home of Walter Dempsey, the crazed mother, Mrs. Kathryn Schoeh, thirty-seven, turned a revolver on the sleeping forms of six members of the family and left four dead and the other two seriously wounded. Mrs. Schoch, a sister of Dempsey, then swallowed poison and fell dead at the foot of her brother's bed. A few hours later police at Dunkirk, which is 260 miles north of Pittsburgh, broke into the apartment of Mrs. Rath Dempsey Hughes, a sister of Mrs. Schoch, and found her shot to death. The two sisters had lived together and Mrs. Schoch came here for what the family considered a holiday visit In addition to Mrs. Schoch and Mrs. Hughes, the dead are: Walter Dempsey, forty-two, a wel fare worker; Robert Dempsey, twelve, a son; Walter Dempsey, Jr., ten, who died later; Thomas Dempsey, eight, a son; David.Dempsey, fifteen-month- old son, shot while sleeping In his crib at his parents’ bedside. The wounded: Mrs. Clara Dempsey, wife of Walter, shot In the head, expected to recover. Only a few hours before the shoot/ Ings in the Dempsey home, Mrs. Schoch, a trained nurse, had played Santa Claus to the Dempsey children, afford ing them one last taste of Yuletlde joy before taking their lives with a re volver police said she purchased In Buffalo, N. Y., under a fictitious name. Mrs. Schoch left four notes, one of which, expressing sorrow over the death of her son, Jimmy, seven, who died last month, said: “Dear God, it’s hard to do all this but I just canDOt go on any longer. Not to feel my darling boy's arm around me nor hear his precious voice makes living unbearable.” Four Americans Saved Adrift in Orient Manila, P. I.—Adrift on the tropical sea for five days without water, four New Yorkers were reported to have safely reached Tawao, Borneo. The quartet is composed of Lawrence T. K. Griswold, William H. Harknessl Legrand Ghiswold and B. E. C. Tate. They were making an ethnological and photographic tour of the southern Philippines when their small chartered motor boat became disabled in the Celebes sea. Details of their rescue were not contained In the telegraphic report from Tawao. Woman Friend of the Late Dr. Ritter Quits Galapagos Guayaquil, Ecuador.—The American explorer, G. Allan Hancock,, arrived here on the yacht Valerio ni bringing with him Frau Dora Koerwin whose companion In the Galapagos islands, Dr. Friedrich llitter, died of apoplexy. She is en route to Europe. She as serted she would discard the name ot her husband, Koerwin, from whom she has been separated for many years, and substitute the name of Ritter in re membrance of the companionship of Charles island. Train Fails to Stop; Engineer Found Dead Carbondale, 111.—The Illinois Cen tral’s crack New Orleans-to-Chieago ex press, No. 20, due for a stop at Cohden. Ul., rumbled right by that town. William Fisher, ilroman, a reserve engineer, investigated and found Charles Oland, age fifty-eight, engineer dead at the throttle. Fisher took com mand of the lo-car train, backed it in to Cobden, and then brought it on here. George Moran, Cleveland Newspaper Executive, Dies Cleveland.—George F. Moran, fifty- two, former chairman of the board and director of the Cleveland company, for mer publisher of the Cleveland News, died at his home In Cleveland Heights from a heart attack. Mr. Moran was a Cleveland newspaper executive for thirty years. Hope Abandoned for Seven in Plane M azatlan,'Mexico.—Searchers for a plane with seven persons abroad, which fell into the Gulf of California, aban doned hope for them after several hours’ search. Two of those sought were Americans, N. Abbott, a pilot, and Noel Bullock. Great-Grandson of Flag Designer Betsy Ross Dies Wallingford, Conn.—Robert C. Can- by, seventy-three, great-grandson of Betsy Ross, designer of the American flag, and a nationally known metal lurgist and author of scientific works, died after a long illness. Drowned In W elland Cana! Port Colborne, Ont.—When his motor ■•ar plunged into 30 feet of water in the Welland ship canal, Peter Corey was lrowned. National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckaft W ashington.—Time a fte r time since President Roosevelt en tered the White Honse, many observ- Agoxn ot era have Insisted Crossroads Out he had reacheda crossroads—ana that on those occasions he necessar ily had to choose between the right and the left They contended with con siderable justification that he either had to be conservative or radical. But somehow the President arranged to fol low both roads at once. At least that conclusion has been reached by those who classify themselves as liberals. Now, observers are saying again that the President has reached the crossroads and must choose between the right and the left With the con vening of congress there has come for ward the nsnal number—perhaps I should say more than the usual num ber^—of proposals for radical con servative legislation as the case may be. There are dozens, almost hundreds, of bills advocating nostrums and crack pot Ideas which cannot possibly do more than take np time and keep the government printing office busy at the expense of the taxpayers in printing the bills themselves. There are In all of this mess as well many pieces of worthwhile legislation as -well as the proposals bearing earmarks of draft ing under White House guidance. In addition there are close to six dozen presidential appointments upon which the senate must a c t Some of these names are of Individuals of known radical tendencies. Some others are recognized as equally conservative. It will be the senate’s job to pass upon these nominations which, some observ ers insist, represent perhaps the widest variation in economic views that has ever been sent to the Capitol for con firmation of appointment As a corollary for this confused state, there are the growing differences of opinion, based on presidential policy proposals, as to whether the govern ment should attempt to provide relief through work as Mr. Roosevelt desires or should turn to a plain, unadulter ated dole. There is the demand from the White House for legislation put ting the federal government further into competition with business by ex pansion of publicly owned power facil ities and the question of liquidating or continuing to expand such programs as that of loans' to home owners and ex tension of NRA. Summed up, it would appear, superfi cially at least that Mr. Roosevelt is definitely at the crossroads. I am told by legislative leaders, 'however, that the administration program thus far advanced again does not commit Mr. Roosevelt definitely to follow either the radical or conservative pathways. They point out that there is an unusual ad mixture of two schools of economic thought represented in legislation bear ing presidential approval and their thought seemed to be that Mr. Roose velt will avoid being forced into either camp at this time.* * * It has been most interesting to ob serve the fluctuation of temperature • . among the various m o re A cttort New Dealers. Prior Than Results? the last election they were very low In spirit. Many of them were saying, In private at least, that Mr. Roosevelt was getting out of hand as far as they were concerned and was turning cer tainly toward the conservative school of thought At the same time among conservative members of the admin istration and In congress and to a con siderable extent among business lead ers, there was a growing feeling that they had witnessed the phenomena ot having their own ears pinned back just when they thought they were on the upgrade. Following this change of trends, along comes the mass of White House legislation, some of which pleases the New Dealers and some of which pleases the conservatives. Each finds fault with that portion of the program that is reasonably satisfactory to the other. This contrariety of opinion extends Into the ranks of members of the house and senate. Consequently, the question to which the observers are now seek ing an answer is whether Majority Leader Robinson In the senate and the Democratic wheel-horses in the house are going to be able to keep their tre mendous numbers in line. Thus far, there has been no word from the ma jority leaders either In the house or the senate Indicating any doubt on their part that the administration whip will fall to drive recalcitrant members Into the proper alleys. Unbiased ob servers are taking the position, how ever, that time alone will tell. An^ it may be added with some emphasis that if the wild horses break loose from the hitching post once, the cur rent session of congress may provide much more action than results. *. * » Present plans of the Republican lead ership, if there are enough Republicans - . . . . left to make their OO iaterr presence felt, Indi- Lobby Strong cate that the Demo cratic commanders need not expect any help from that quarter In pnlling' hot'-chestnuts ont of the fire.

President Roosevelt is about to open up the federal treasury for loans to ■ cities to provideFederal funds for construe- Loans to Cities Uon of municipal light and power plants. He has announced definitely that he favors this procedure and, therefore, in effect has invited cities to join the march on Washington for more federal loans. The newest development In the ad ministration program of loaning money here and there seeais to have resulted in repercussions of a more important nature than objections voiced to oth er types of federal loans. Here ie Washington considerable discussion has developed as to the wisdom of this policy and this has been followed by speculation as to the ultimate end of a program of this kind. OpinioB throughout the country apparently has not been definitely crystallized yet but from all Indications it appears we are due to hear much debate on the new est New Deal idea. Objectors to the program of provid ing loans to cities for construction of municipal light and power plants In sist that Mr. Roosevelt has taken the longest step toward state socialism thus far to be made a part of his New Deal. They contend that Mr. Roose velt has gone beyond his recovery pro gram and has embarked upon a plan representing part and parcel of his scheme for public ownership of ail In- dustries impressed with a public In terest through service of a monopolis tic character. Opponents also argue that the !’res ident is placing privately owned indus tries under a severe handicap by forc ing them to compete with what should be private industry but what actually -is their own government In some quarters also I hear expres sions of a fear that if any substantial number of cities borrow federal mowy to build their own light and POwer plants, the federal government will have expanded to that extent its do™' i nation over those cities. Through loans to banks, to agriculture and TCV many other lines,~federal Influence Uailr is being exerted upon the private life of the country until, some observers declare, states, counties and munici palities are gradually sinking into ob livion insofar as their own self-gov ernment is concerned.

News Review of Current Events the World Over Representative Tinkham’s Scathing Attack on Secretarj Perkins—Senator Lewis Warns Against Any More Disarmament Treaties. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © by Western Newspaper Union. Secretary, Perki ns GEORGE n . TINKEAM, the beard ed and sharp-tongued represent ative from Massachusetts, has revived the controversy \ over the League of Nations with an as sertion that the Unit ed States is being • ■»“*» slipped into the league through the back door, J s' I He says the joint res- i * olution adopted in the V*-' «1 iast jew days of the S e v e n t y-third con- g r e s s , making the United States a mem ber of the interna tional labor organiza tion was the first of a contemplated series of moves designed to put the United States openly into the league, con trary to the wishes of the people and of congress, and Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins was the especial ob ject of his attack-. Using such harsh words as “fraud" and “intrigue,” Mr. Tinkham accused Secretary Perkins of employing "contemptible trickery” In advocating the adoption of the resolu tion. Mr. Tinkham Quoted the labor secre tary as saying that the international la bor organization, “is not even now an integral part of the League of Nations, and membership in the organization does not imply affiliation with the league.” He continued : “This stateirent is the grossest per version of the truth. It is squarely contrary to the facts—facts established by an indelible record, the treaty of Versailles. The statement contained in the letter of the secretary of labor was intended to deceive. The secre tary knew that the congress of the United States was opposed to entry into the League of Nations and would not vote for entry knowingly. Entry was therefore made surreptitiously and fraudulently. “Article 392 of the treaty of Ver sailles states: ‘The International iabor office shall be established at the seat of the League of Nations as part of the or ganization of the league.’ “This audacious intrigue to have the United States enter the League of Na tions by way of one of the organs of the league is to be followed by an at tempt to have the United States enter another of its organs, the Permanent Court of International Justice of the League of .Nations, this subsequently to be followed by a proposal of full membership in the League of Nations. Thus, the independence of the United States will be destroyed, the will of the American people thwarted, and the United States inevitably involved In the next European conflict” SENATOR JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS of Illinois, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations and a veteran in international con ferences, has set forth a view concerning treaties for disarma ment or reduction of armaments that will meet with the ap proval of many of his fellow citizens, though they are sharply at variance with those of the administration. He evidently is glad the Washington naval pact is dying, owing' Senator Lewis to the action of Japan, and he says that in future the United States must, for its own sake, remain aloof from all such agreements, because they are almost certain to embroil us In war. Addressing the National Forum in Washington, Senator Lewis declared the recent naval conversations in London succeeded only in designing a “chart of death to men, destruction to nations,” and he warned against the renewal of the Washington treaty. “Plain it must be,” Senator Lewis pointed out, “that should we enter the deal, and it is disobeyed by any of its parties, the United States must be called on by the nations involved to lend ourselves to enforce, the compact. This means war upon the United States by the nations we threaten to force to obedience, or war from the na tions we refuse to aid in the enforce m ent “To the United States nothing but evil and danger awaits onr entrance into any international contract with foreign nations preparing for war on each other.” America wants no war and wants armaments only for self-defense, the senator said, and America does not recognize the right of any interna tional conference to tell her what arms she needs for that purpose. “On this right of our own self-de fense America stands sovereign in her guarded isolation,” he informed other ntaions. “We deny the privilege of any nation to dictate to the United States the quantity or quality of pro tection our nation shall adopt.” War can come to the United States only through her foreign entangle ments, Senator Lewis explained, and because of the present warlike attitude of the world, America must stand isolated. C PEAKING of war, it is interesting to learn that the senate mission to the Philippines has discovered that those islands “possess the most im portant source of war material under the American flag.” Senator Tydings of Maryland sent the word from Manila that there are in Zambales province deposits of chromite so large that they have attracted the attention of other nations. John W. Haussermann, dean of the islands’ gold mining indus try, told the senators these deposits may soon take their place as one of the most important ore bodies In the world, and he added significantly that chromium is the one war material which the United States does not have in ample quantities within its borders. These deposits in the Philippines were discovered after the Tydings-McDuffie independence act was drafted. It is easy to see that this news will be of immense interest to Japan, which, in its plans for territorial expansion, is ever on the lookout for war material sources. DOPE PIUS XI is not optimistic con- f cerning world peace. In his Christ mas eve address, delivered according to custom to the cardinals resident In Rome, the Holy Father said that “the clamor of war spreads ever farther,” and he urged the world to pray and work for peace. “We see a constant increase In warlike arms,” the pope continued. “This is a distracting element in which the spirit seems to have no part. We are on the eve of a day when the heavens resound with the hymns of angels calling for peace on earth. Never has the chant had more reason for being than today.” King George, in a radio address to all parts of the British empire, was a little more cheerful. He adjured his "peoples beyond the seas” to remem ber that they all belonged to one great family. “My desire and hope is that the same spirit of brotherhood may be come ever stronger in its hold and wider in its range,” the king said. “The world is sitll restless and trou bled. The clouds are lifting, but we have still our own anxieties to meek I am convinced that if we meet them In tfie spirit of one family we shall over come them, for then private and party interests will be controlled by care for the whole community.” He made a special effort to reach the restless multitudes in India, whose fate now is In the hands of parliament, by assuring them of his “constant care of them.” President Roosevelt’s brief Christ mas talk was addressed especially to the citizens of America, calling for “courage and unity,” for greater hap piness and the improvement of human welfare./ PROSECUTION and defense attor neys completed their preparations for the trial of Bruno Hauptmann on the charge of murdering the Lindbergh baby, and the little town of Flemington, N. J., was a busy place. The names of 48 veniremen w e re drawn for examina tion as jurors, and the sensation o v e r th e mailing of a satire on the Lindbergh case to 150 prospective jurors died down. C. Lloyd Fisher, defense coun sel, said he would not ask for a new panel. Betty Gow, the nurse who put the Lindbergh baby to bed the night he was kidnaped and killed, arrived from Scotland on the liner Aqultania and went at once to the Morrow borne in Englewood, N. J., to await her call as one of the state’s star witnesses. She declined to talk to reporters, but posed for cameramen. There was a report that Miss Gow might remain in this country and take up her former job in the Lindbergh household. She had acted as nurse for Jon, second son born to the Lindberghs, -until she re turned to her home in Scotland several months ago. Hauptmann seemed calm - as the time for his ordeal approached, and he ate a hearty Christmas dinner. Mrs. Hauptmann, who moved from the Bronx to Flemington to be near her husband, made a radio appeal “to the people of the country to wait until they hear every side of the story be fore they condemn him.” .She reiterated her belief that Haupt mann had nothing to do with the kid naping of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. She repeated- her story that Haupt mann had waited for her at a Bronx bakery where she worked, the night of the kidnapping and that he had taken her home. As for the ransom money found In the Hauptmann home and garage, she insisted on the truth of her husband’s story that he got the money from IsI- dor ,Fish, who is dead. Mrs. Haupt mann told parts of her story amid sobs. Bruno Hauptmann ONE of the worst American railway- wreeks of the year occurred at Dundas, Ont., when a Christmas ex cursion train bound from London, OnLl to Toronto was telescoped by the De- troit-to-Toronto express on the Cana dian National railways line as it stood on a siding. Apparently the express ran through the open switch. Two wooden coaches were demolished, and about fifteen persons were killed. More than a score of others were injured. A third coach was thrown on end close to the edge of a 150-foot cliff. The alertness and quicU thinking of Engineer B. Burrell of the speeding train from Detroit, was credited by railway officials with having averted an even greater tragedy. Seeing no hope of preventing the !ocomoti’’e from piling into the rear of the special train, Burrell ordered it cut loose from the coaches behind and prevented them from telescoping. SOLDIERS from Great Britain, Italy Sweden and Holland, to the num ber of 3,300, under the command of Maj. J. E. S. Brind, a British vet eran of several wars, marched into the Saar from north and south with flying colors, and were stationed at stra ta*. J tegic points throughout I the area, prepared to maintain order until after the plebiscite of January 13 which will '5MSsS determine whether the BjteM f ,1JS nP gaar shall again be- „ f* come a part of Ger- Major Brind £jany or remain under control of the League of Nations. The arrival of the troops was watched by the league authorities with consider able anxiety for there had been fears that Nazi enthusiasts there might cause trouble. But the inhabitants of the basin remained quiet, none of them showing either enmity or enthusiasm for the league’s armed forces. Under the terms of the treaty of Versailles any person living In the Saar at the time of the signing of the treaty is eligible to vote in the plebi scite, and the Nazis of Germany made great efforts to gather as many of their adherents as possible from other lands to which they had migrated. From the United States 352 Saar Ger mans traveled back to their old home aboard the liner Bremen, and were wel comed with feasts, as was another large contingent from South America. The German government denied that it was paying the expenses of these voters from abroad, asserting they were financed by private donations. PEACE In central Europe was pro moted by two events. The Jugoslav ian cabinet resigned and a new cabinet was formed with Bogoljub Yevtitch as premier. As foreign minister he bad conducted the case of his country against Hungary before the League of Nations and accepted the compromise decision, and he is a close friend of Prince Paul, head of the regency, who is inclined to a moderate course. The Austrian government refused the extradition to France of Colonel Per- chevich, Croat exile, who was accused, along with Dr. Ante Pavelich, of insti gating the assassination of King Alex ander in Marseilles. Italy had previ ously refused the extradition of Pave- lieh. It is said in informed quarters that further examination of these two men would have revealed facts that would have endangered peace in Eu rope. COL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH, by his flights across Arctic regions in 1933, has enabled the Department of Agriculture to demonstrate conclusive ly that the spores of plant disease can be borne on remote air currents. With a spore trap of his own devis ing, which he called “the skyhook," Colonel Undbergh obtained specimens which confirmed the previous theories of government experts that plant dis eases may be carried even across con tinents by air currents. That was announced by Fred C. Meier, the department expert who in terested Colonel Lindbergh in the work. Colonel Lindbergh devised his “the skyhook," a light, strong contrivance, easy to operate and well adapted to protecting sterile glass slides from con tamination except for the time they were exposed. Mr. MeIer prepared the slides and has examined and photo, graphed them. He credits Colonel Lind bergh with careful work. AFTER winning the handicap prize in the England-to-Melbourne air race, the giant American-built plane Uiver, pride of the Royal Dutch Air Lines, started on a speed flight from Amsterdam to Batavia, Java, with sev en persons aboard. During a thunder storm it crashed in the desert ten miles from Rutba Wells, Irak, and burned to cinders, all its occupants perishing. X /I ARTIN J. INSULL, brother of i A Samuel, was given a Christmas present by a Chicago jury in the form of a verdict of not guilty of embezzle ment from the Middle West Utilities company. The money, .$344,720, was used, according to the prosecution, in a' desperate effort to recoup Insull’s per sonal losses in the stock market NURSE SLAYS SIX . MEMBERS OF FAMILY Kilb Self Wilh Poison By Dead Brother. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Seven members of a family were found dead in what po lice described as a case of murder and suicide by a distraught mother. It was believed her grief over the recent death of a son drove her to slay a sis ter In Dunkirk, N. Y., and then come here to complete the annihilation of the family. Amid the modest Christmas decora tions In the suburban home of Walter Dempsey, the crazed mother, Mrs. Kathryn Schoch, thirty-seven, turned a revolver on the sleeping forms of six members of the* family and left four dead and the other two seriously wounded. Mrs. Schoch, a sister of Dempsey, then swallowed poison and fell dead at the foot of her brother’s bed. A few hours later police at Dunkirk, which is 260 miles north of Pittsburgh, broke into the apartment of Mrs. Ruth Dempsey Hughes, a sister of Mrs. Schoch, and found her shot to death. The two sisters had lived together and Mrs. Schoch came here for what the family considered a holiday visit. In addition to Mrs. Schoch and Mrs. Hughes, the dead are: Walter Dempsey, forty-two, a wel fare worker; Robert Dempsey, twelve, a son; Walter Dempsey, Jr., ten, who died later; Thomas Dempsey, eight, a son; David Dempsey, fifteen-month- old son, shot while sleeping in his crib tit his parents’ bedside. Tbe wounded: Mrs. Clara Dempsey, wife of Walter, shot in the head, expected to recover. Only a few hours before the shoot* ings in the Dempsey home, Mrs. Schoch, a trained nurse, had played Santa Claus to the Dempsey children, afford ing them one last taste of Yuletlde joy before taking their lives with a re volver police said she purchased in Buffalo. N. Y., under a fictitious name. Mrs. Schoch left four notes, one of which, expressing sorrow over the death of her son, Jimmy, seven, who died last month, said: “Dear God, it’s hard to do all this but I just cannot go on any longer. Not to feel my darling boy’s arm around me nor hear his precious voice makes living unbearable.” Four Americans Saved Adrift in Orient Manila, P. I.—Adrift on the tropical sea for five days without water, four New Yorkers were reported to have safely reached Tawao, Borneo. The quartet is composed of Lawrence T. K. Griswold, William H. Harkuess, Legrand Ghiswold and B, E. C. Tate. They were making an ethnological and photographic tour of the southern Philippines when their small chartered motor boat became disabled in the Celebes sea. Details of their rescue were not contained in the telegraphic report from Tawao. Woman Friend of the Late Dr. Ritter Quits Galapagos Guayaquil, Ecuador.—The American explorer, G. Allan Hancock, arrived here on the yacht Valerio ni bringing with him Frau Dora Koerwin whose companion in the Galapagos islands, Dr. Friedrich Ritter, died of apoplexy.’ She is en route to Europe. She as serted she would discard the name of her husband, Koenvin, from whom she has been separated for many years, and substitute the name of Ritter in re membrance of the companionship of Charles island.

Drowned in Welland Canal Port Colborne, Ont.—When his motor •ar plunged into 30 feet of water In the Welland ship canal, Peter Corey was Irowned. National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckatt W ashington.—Time after time since President Roosevelt entered the White House, many observ- A geun a t ers have insisted C rossroads «m t he had reached a crossroads "and that on those occasions he necessar ily had to choose between the right and the left They contended with con siderable justification that he either had to be conservative or radical: But somehow the President arranged to fol low both roads at once. At least that conclusion has been reached by those who classify themselves as liberals. ^ Now, observers are saying again that the President has reached the crossroads and must choose between the right and the left. With the con vening of congress there has come for ward the usual number—perhaps I should say more than the usual num ber—of proposals for radical X t con servative legislation as the case may be. There are dozens, almost hundreds, of bills advocating nostrums and crack pot ideas which cannot possibly do more than take up time and keep the government printing office busy at the expense of the taxpayers in printing the bills themselves. There are in all of this mess as well many pieces of worthwhile legislation as well as the proposals bearing earmarks of draft ing under White House guidance. In addition there are close to six dozen presidential appointments upon which the senate must a c t Some of these names are of individuals of known radical tendencies. Some others are recognized as equally conservative. It will be the senate’s job to pass upon these nominations which, some observ ers insist, represent perhaps the widest variation In economic views that has ever been sent to the Capitol for con firmation of appointment As a corollary for this confused state, there are the growing differences of opinion, based on presidential policy proposals, as to whether the govern ment should attempt to provide relief through work as Mr. Roosevelt desires or should turn to a plain, unadulter ated dole. There is the demand from the White House for legislation put ting the federal government further into competition with business by ex pansion of publicly owned power facu lties and tbe question of liquidating or continuing to expand such programs as that of loans’ to home owners and ex tension of NRA. Summed up, it would appear, superfi- ciaUy at least, that Mr. Roosevelt is definitely at the crossroads. I am told by legislative leaders, 'however, that the administration program thus far advanced again does not commit Mr. Roosevelt definitely to follow either the radical or conservative pathways. They point out that there is an unusual ad mixture of two schools of economic thought represented in legislation bear ing presidential approval and their thought seemed to be that Mr. Roose velt will avoid being forced into either camp at this time.* * • It has been most interesting to ob serve the fluctuation of temperature among the various More Actton New Dealers. Prior Than Results? to the last election they were very low In spirit. Many of them were saying, In private at least, that Mr. Roosevelt was getting out of hand as far as they were concerned and was turning cer tainly toward the conservative school of thought. At the same time among conservative members of the admin istration and In congress and to a con siderable extent among business lead ers, there was a growing feeling that they had witnessed'the phenomena of having their own ears pinned back just when they thought they were on the upgrade. Following this change of trends, along comes the mass of White House legislation, some of which pleases the New Dealers and some of which pleases the conservatives. Each finds fault with that portion of the program that is reasonably satisfactory to the other. This contrariety of opinion extends into the ranks of members of the house and senate. Consequently, the question to which the observers are now seek ing an answer is whether Majority Leader Robinson in the senate and the Democratic wheel-horses in the house are going to be able to keep their tre mendous numbers in line. Thus far, there has been no word from the ma jority leaders either in the house or the senate indicating any doubt on their part that the administration whip will fail to drive recalcitrant members into the proper alleys. Unbiased ob servers are taking the position, how ever, that time alone will tell. And it may be added with some emphasis that if the wild horses break loose from the hitching post once, the cur rent session of congress may provide much more action than results.• * * Present plans of the Republican lead ership, if there are enough Republicans n . . . , lsft to make their OOiatersr presence felt, indi- Lobby Strong cate that the Demo cratic commanders need not expect any help from that quarter in pulling hot chestnuts out of the fire. For example, I understand that the soldiers’ bonus question will be used by the Republicans as a sort of prod with which to disturb the ma- Jority party. It seems definite that the and senate will pass legislation for Immediate payment of the bon,. It may not be a program for full w ment of the sum that is not due Jj 1945, but the pressure is so strong^ some action will be forthcoming. ! Bt Mr. Roosevelt sticks to his and vetoes any bonus Iegislationtl. cepting that proposing to care fot destitute ex-soldiers, sailors and ^ rines/there is enough strength In Utt gress to pass the legislation Overjii veto.

Thet lip§l when the Republican minority could beB | of distinct help to the administraUoJIif but, apparently, that is just the AtJjM the Republican minority is not g, to do. The administration is now ex i Ing various avenues of a possible i promise on the bonus payment and I it is through this course that a hope I exists on the part of administration! leaders to avoid the showdown men I tioned above., Knowing that it cannot! count on the Republican minority for any help to carry through its plana, the ‘ administration may make sons concessions to the bonus advocate* These most certainly will be made un less a count of noses by the leadership shows a little later that the support-K ers of a full bonus payment can til whipped—and right now that Is gene-I ally considered by observers as being | impossible. Here again the views of radicals and conservatives clash. There will be some radicals supporting the bonus payment in order to force the Presi dent . into a position where he must inflate the currency further. Thnt group thinks inflation of the currency will boost prices and provide tbe nee. essary hypodermic injection to get tu out of the depression. Opposed to these are a considerable number o.’ house and senate members who feat Inflation and Its results like they fear the poison fangs of a rattlesnake So, when the bonus question is joined as an issue it seems to me we will see an interesting exposition of how politics makes strange bedfellows. • » * President Roosevelt Is about to open up the federal treasury for loans to cities to provide Federal funds for constrnc- Loans to Cities ti°n of municipal light and power plants. He has announced definitely that he favors this procedure and, therefore, in effect has Invited cities to join the march on IYashington for more federal loans. The newest development in the ad ministration program of loaning money here and there seems to have resulted In repercussions of a more Important nature than objections voiced to oth er types of federal loans. Here in Washington considerable discussion has developed as to the wisdom of this policy and this has been followed by speculation as to the ultimate end of a program of this kind. Opinion throughout the country apparently has not been definitely crystallized yet but from all Indications it appears we are due to hear much debate on the new est New Deal idea. Objectors to the program of provid ing loans to cities for construction of municipal light and power plants In sist that Mr. Roosevelt has taken the longest step toward state socialism thus far to be made a part of his New Deal. They contend that Mr. Roose velt has gone beyond his recovery pro gram and has embarked upon a plan representing part and parcel of his scheme for public ownership of all In dustries impressed with a public in terest through service of a monopolis tic character. Opponents also argue that the !’res ident is placing privately owDed indus tries under a severe handicap by forc ing them to compete with what should be private industry but what actually -is their own government. In some quarters also I hear expres sions of a fear that if any substantial number of cities borrow federal tuoney to build their own light and power plants, the federal government will have expanded to that extent its do®- ination over those cities. Through loans to banks, to agriculture and to many other lines,’federal Influence daily is beYng exerted upon the private life of the country - until, Bome observers declare, states, counties and munici palities are gradually sinking into ob livion insofar as their own self-gov ernment is concerned.

SYNOPSIS Jim W all, you OS cow puncher from Wyoming sock-' a new fleld He meets’Hank Hays, who tells him he is w orking for an Englishm an, H er Scfc who b». located a Mg ranch in the mountains. H ays and others are Plotting 10 Steal their em p lo jers cat tie and money. W ith H ays ana tw o otlier rustlers, Jtm W all goes to H er rick's ranch. H ays unfolds p'an for netting possession of H erricks I?-0 head of live stock. He and his h ^ 1- enants ride away to drive off the first hunch of cattle. Heeseman, H ays m among the cattle rustlers, tells W all that Hays was once his <B eeseman s) partner and double-crossed Mm. -I'rn I8 sent to meet Miss H errick. H als be travs unusual interest in the g irls coming. The rustlers b eg in d riv in g c at- tle from the ranch. W all finds him sell falling In love w ith Helen and he fears H ays has designs on the girl. Jlm coaches her in riding Tvaster" style, and finally kisses her. She Is angry and dismisses him, but relents and asks him not to leave the ranch. Hayst men return from the drive, hav ing sold the cattle and brought back the money. CHAPTER V I— Continued — 10— He then noticed that a roll of bills, identical with the one he had jtist re ceived, lay on the floor. “You double-crossed me!” burst put Hays, at length. “Wal, thet’s accordin' to how you look at it." retorted Slocum. “Things came up at Grand Junction. We seen some of Heeseman's outfit They’re onto us, or will be pronto. So we jest took a vote, an' every one of us stood for one big drive instead of small drives. An’ we made it. Your buyers swore they was short of money an’ would pay twelve dollars a head. Talk about robbers! Wal, I took thet an’ said I liked it. ..." “You disobeyed orders.” “Put it up to Jim, hyar. W hat do jou say, Jim?” Thus appealed to, Jim addressed Hays point-blank. “Smoky’s right If you meant to clean out Herrick, that was the way to do it." llAw-shore, you’d side with them!” “I wouldn’t do anything of the kind if I thought they were wrong,” retorted Jim, angrily. Here was a chance to inflame Hays that he jumped at. If the robber could be drawn into a fight, when his own men were against him, the -situation for the Herricks could be Dade easier for the present “You’d better shet up.” "I won't shet up, Hays. Someone has to tell you. And I'm that fellow. There's no hand out against you In this outfit Never heard of a bunch of riders who’d work like dogs while the boss was twiddling his thumbs and talking mysterious." “I ain’t ready to leave Star ranch an’ now I’ll have to !” "Why ain’t you ready?” queried Smoky, curiously. “Our work's all done. We’ve cleaned out the ranch, except for a few thousand head. We've got the long green. You ought to be tickled to death.” “I'm not through here,” replied the robber. “Smoky, why don’t you ask Hays what this mysterious deal is?” queried Jim, sarcastically. Prom a cornered lion Hays degen erated into a cornered ra t Jim sank a little In his boots while his upper muscles c- rded. “Hank, what’s got Into vou?” queried Smoky, “Smoky, the boss Is up a tree,” said im, caustically. “He means to rob errick all right But that’s only a blind. It’s the girl!” . . ^!mt gold-headed gurl we seen you drlvin’ hyar?” “Yes. Herrick’s sister." Haw! Haw ■ g0 thet’s what’s eat- In’ you, Hank?” Hays had reached his limit and prob ably, but for Smoky’s mirth, would W t f tarted hostiliUesv He hesitated, there was a deadly flare In the *yes he had fixed on WalL Smoky got between them. “See hyar, Hank. So that’s the deal? An’ Joud do fer pore Jlm hyar Jest be cause he’s onto you? . . Wal, If you’re so keen as thet to draw on somebody* way, make it me. I started -this. I “tagged Jim into It. An’ I ain’t goin’ «o let you take it out on him.” Ielfhen Hank HayS came ba<* to hi™' “Jim’s right Smoky, you’re right” He declared, hoarsely. “I’m bullhead- e • • . . An’ I’ve lost my bull head over Herrick’s sister.” There. Spoke up like a ,man,” de- cliired Smoky, heartily relieved. “Why didn’t you come thet clean long ago? ITeither Jim nor me nor any of us blame you fer admirin’ thet gurl. And you’d gone crazy, an’ dragged her away into the brakes with us, we’d quit you cold.” Hays bent to pick up the roll ofbills. “Pall to, men. I’ve got to do some tall thlnkin’,” he said, and left them. Before they were half finished with their supper Hays entered. “We’re shakin’ the dust of Star ranch tonight,” he said, deliberately. “Pack up an’ leave at once. I’ll come later. If I don’t meet you at Smoky’s camp I’ll meet you shore at midday In thet cedar grove above the head of Red canyon.” No one asked any more questions or made any comments. Whatever they thought about Hays’ peculiar way of leading his band they kept to them selves. Jim Wall was not greatly re lieved, still he concluded that Hays must abandon any plot he might have concocted toward Herrick’s sister. At any rate whatever was In Hays’ mind Jim could not further risk alienating him or his men. Jim would have to ride out with them. If he stayed be hind to spy upon Hays or frustrate any attempt he might make to call upon the Herricks, he would have to kill Hays. Dusk was mantling the valley when Jim went out. Under the bench the shadows were dark. Prom the shelter of the pines he looked for Hays, ex pecting to find him standing guard. But the robber was not on the porch. He was stalking to and fro along the brook, and he was no more watching for Heeseman than was Jim. His bent form, his stride, his turning at the end of his beat, his hands folded behind his back—all attested to the mood of a gloomy, abstracted, passion-driven man. Whereupon Jim repaired to his covert, rolled his bed and made a pack of his other belongings. What to do with the two packages of bills, this last of which was large and clumsy for his pockets, was a puzzle. By dividing the two into four packets he solved it. Then he carried his eifeets down to the cabin. All was cheery bustle there. The men were glad to get away from Star ranch. They talked of the robbers’ roost Hays had always promised them, of Idle days to eat and drink and gamble, of the long months In hiding. “Wal, you all ready?” queried Hays, appearing in the doorway. “Yep, an’ bustin’ to go.” “On second thought I’d like one of you to stay with me. How about you, Latimer?” “All right,” declared Sparrowhawk. In a few more minutes all the men leaving were mounted. The pack ani- Most of the Riders Inclined to the Opinion That It Was Just Haze. mats, with packs gray against the darkness, straggled up the trail. “Wait at your camp till sunup,” said Hays, conclusively. “An’ if I’m not there I’ll meet you about noon shore at head of Red canyon.” Without more words or ado Smoky led off behind the pack horses, and the five riders followed., Once across the brook all horses took a brisk trot. Jim Wall looked back. Then he saw a bright light on the bench. That was from Herrick’s house. Au unfamiliar sensation, like a weight of cold lead In his breast, baffled Jim. He knew he was glad never to see Helen Her rick again. About midnight Smoky turned the pack animals up the slope into the woods, and after a mile of rough going emerged Into an open canyon head. “Hyar we air,” said Smoky. “Throw things an’ git to sleep. I’ll stand first guard.” Jlm unrolled his bed beside a rock, and pulling off his boots and un buckling his gun belt he crawled un der the blanket Crack of ax and Happy Jack’s voice pierced his slumber, both recognized before -he opened his eyes, Jim sat up, stretched, and reaching for his boots he gazed around. The men were stir ring, two around the camp fire and others among the horses. “Wal, long past sunup,” said Slocum, as Jlm approached the fire. “Who was It bet Brad thet Hank wouldn’t show up?” “Nobody,” replied Lincoln. “Jim, suppose you’take your rifle an’ sneak down an’ knock over a deer,” suggested Smoky, Three hundred yards down the slope Jlm emerged Into the open. There were no riders on the winding, white trail.Stealthily working back into the timber he soon espied two deer about sixty paces distant, long ears erect He killed the buck standing. Upon bis return to camp Smoky greeted him with a grin. “How far to Red canyon?" asked Jim. “I don’t know. ..About fifteen miles. Don’t you remember, thet heavy grove of cedars leadin’ down into a red hole?” "Reckon I do. If Hays Joins us there it'll mean he comes by another trail, doesn’t It?” “Ifi So you figger he might not? Course he’d come around the moun tain, or mebbe over another pass. He shore knows trails thet we don’t ” “Aw, Hank’ll show up on time.” "Wonder if he stayed back to plug Heeseman? He hates thet rustler.” In less than an hour the riders were on the move down the mountain. Pack ing on the deer Jim had slain occa sioned a little delay for all, because Smoky kept them close together. At the edge of the timber belt he halted them again while he peeped out to re- connoiter. Then he called: “Come hyar, a couple of you long-sighted fellers." They all rode out to join him, where he sat his horse, pointing to a faint blue on the purple valley floor. “Is thet dust?” Most of^tlie riders inclined to the opinion that It was just haze. “Ten miles or more back and hard to make out,” spoke up Jim. “If this was my range Pd say it wasn’t haze or smoke.” “Wish I had Hank’s glasses. My eyes are no good any move fer long shots. Wal, let’s mosey.” When they reached another turn from which It was possible to look back for five miles or more Smoky halted while the others caught up. “Jeff, you hang right hyar,” he said, “an’ keep your eyes peeled on the back trail. I ain’t so shore thet gray patch back on the valley was haze. It sort of moved to me. An’ there wasn’t a lick of wind. Wal, from round this corner you can easy see the cedar grove where we’U hang up fer the boss. An’ If you ketch sight of any more'n a couple riders on the back stretch you come ridin’ h—I bent fer election. Don’t stay long after noon.” Perhaps another five miles down the slope lay their objective to which they headed. The hour was still some time before noon. Smoky scanned the slope to the south and east. It would not have been possible to see riders at any distance, as the rocks, brush, ridges and washes intervened profusely. "What’ll we do. Smoky? Throw the packs, or not?” queried one of the riders. “Dog-gone' If I know,” replied Slo cum, peevishly. "It’s a rummy deal. Hot as h—I now an' gettin’ hotter. I fergot to ask Hank. Reckon you'd better herd the hosses an’ we’ll w ait I’ll keep a lookout fer the boss.” Jim tied his horse In the shade of a cedar, and climbed a jumble of rocks so he could command a better view. Almost at once he sighted riders com ing down a wash about a mile away, and he had opened his mouth to shout the good tidings ' when something checked him. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Three riders! Assuming that two of them were Hays and Latimer, who could the third be? They disappeared behind a corner of bank. Jlm sank down in a cold sweat. Perhaps these men were Indians or strangers from Hankville, or prospectors. But he had not seen any pack animals. After a long, anxious watch he saw the three reappear in the wash, con siderably closer. The one in the mid dle rode a gray horse and otherwise contrasted sharply with the dark mounts and dark clothes of the other two. A second time the trio disap peared. Smoky was peering about in a desultory manner, but he was too low down to sight the riders. Jim was now shaking. An awful premonition attacked him. He had met it and al most overcome it as another unac countable attack of nerves when the foremost horseman emerged from be hind a bank. He recognized the stal wart figure, the wide, black sombrero, the poise in the saddle. That was Hank Hays. Jim scarcely dared shift his gaze back to the second rider, but he was irresistibly forced to. A slight figure in tan, drooping in the saddle! “So help me!” he whispered, and sank down on the stone. That center rider was Helen Herrick. For a mo ment a hell rioted In J.im W alls breast How he cursed himself for a vacillating idiot! His intuition had been right. He had seen through, this robber leader’s behavior at Star ranch. But like a fool he had not trusted him self. Jim grew cold to his very- mar row. Yet his Intelligence did not whol ly succumb to his fury. He strove to think. This hound had gotten Helen, just how, it was useless to conjecture. But to kill him then, right on the spot? That gave Jim Wall pause. Hays’ men would roar at this deal, in volving them in the abduction of a woman, still they would hardly go so far as to resist him with arms. Jim crushed down his deadly impulse. He would -wait Well indeed had it been for Jim to espy this trio long before they reached him. He had time to recover, to think what was best. If Hank Hays had come upon Jim suddenly it would have been his doom. One of the pack animals neighed shrilly and then all the horses stuck up their ears. “Say, I heerd a hoss-shoe ring on a stone,” called Mac, who ’had ears as keen as a horse. “What’s that?” queried Smoky, sharply. He leaped up.TO BS CONTINUED. The Guinea Fowl Although the guinea fowl is njore or less of a common sight in some lo calities, it is confined entirely to farms where a few are raised each year principally for the row they raise when predatory hawks and owls swoop down on poultry yards. They are natural watchmen of the flocks and their loud and sharp cries usual ly frighten the air pirate away. V Body Needs Supply of Salts When Planning Meals, It Must Be Remembered That Phosphorus, Working With Calcium, Pro vides the Material Required. Phosphorus Is the one of the three minerals for ■ which we must take most thought when planning meals. Phosphorus works with calcium to supply the salt which make the bones and teeth strong and sturdy. These two minerals are so inter twined that It is not only necessary to have a full quota of each, but to have each In such a proportion that it balances the other. In the absence of this the skeleton of the body may grow normal in size but not in strength, and the consequence of this lack is bowed legs and other bone deformities. Phosphorus is a’so a necessary contribution to every cell In the body, but is especially important In the nerve cells. Perhaps ‘ this is what led to the ancient superstition that phosphorus stimulated the brain. It is, however, a factor in the utiliza tion of food and In maintaining the neutrality of the blood stream. By weight we need about twice as much phosphorus as calcium. Children need a large supply of both of these minerals, of course, because of de mand upon food to build new struc ture. A mother during the month before the birth of the child, and while she Is nursing him, will also need an extra supply. If this is not supplied she may show the effect of the lack through the breaking down of her teeth. If, for any reason, she cannot take plenty of food rich In these minerals, she may take certain salts which are more or less effec tive. The foods which supply phosphor us most liberally are milk, cheese, eggs, vegetables, nuts, some of the fruits, and whole cereals. AU but the latter are sources of calcium to a greater or less extent Among vegetables, navy beans, carrots, len tils and sweet potatoes are high. Among fruits we find peaches, ba nanas, grapefruit, oranges, pineapple, prunes and berries at the head of the Ust The quality of minerals in foods is not affected to any large extent by cooking, if the. proper methods are used. One of the reasons for cook ing vegetables in very little water is to preserve the mineral content which may be partly drawn out into the liquid. A smaU amount may be lost by the heating of milk during pasteurization, but the amount is negligible if the daily ration of milk is plentiful. A shortage of either calcium or phosphorus, a poor balance between them or the lack of vitamin D, which has the property of stimulating the deposit of these minerals in the bones, may result in rickets, mild or acute. A mild form of rickets is not uncommon among children, while acute rickets attack undernourished children, especially those who are not exposed to the sun. Children in fam ilies of the low-income class, who have come from the tropics, are more subject to this disease than are other children in New York. Sometimes adults suffer from the results of milk rickets in childhood. The hones of a foot, for instance, sometimes break down In later Ufe. As in the case of many other .diet deficiencies, effect of a less than ad equate supply of phosphorus as well as of calcium and vitamin D do not always show at the'moment In child hood the foundations of health are built Blanc Mange.

' ^ ‘ The New Ford V- 8 for 1935 is the biggest and roomiest Ford car ever built. It is a strik ingly handsome car, with mod em lines and new, luxurious appointments. But most important of all it is especially designed to give you smooth, easy riding over all lands of roads—"a front- seat ride for back-seat riders." This ease of riding i 3 achieved by the use of three basic prin ciples never before combined in a low- price car. 1. Correct distribution of car weight by moving engine and body forward eight and a half inches. 2. New location of seats by which the rear seat is moved forward, toward the center of the car—away from the rear axle and away from the bumps. 3. New spring suspension which per mits the use of longer, more flexible springs and increases the springbase to 123 inches. The result is Center-Poise — which not only gives you a new riding comfort but adds to the stability of the car and its NOW ON DISPLAY A New Ford V*8 That Brings New Beauty, New Safety, and a New Kind of Riding Comfort Within Reach of Millions of People ease of handling. You can take curves with greater safety. There are many new features in the Ford V- 8 for 1935 which make the car still easier to drive. New brakes give more power for stopping guickly with far less foot pressure on the pedal. A new type of easy-pressure clutch employs centrifugal force to increase ef ficiency at higher speeds. New steering _ mechanism makes the car still easier to handle. New, wider, roomier seats. The New Ford V- 8 for 1935 retains the V- 8 engine which has demonstrated its dependability and economy in the ser vice of more than a million owners. There are refinements, but no change in basic design. You buy pre mium performance when you buy this Ford V-8 —full 85 horsepower and capable of 80 miles an hour. All Ford V -8 cars for 1935 come equipped with Safety Glass throughout at no additional cost. We invite you to see this New Ford V-8 for 1935 at the showrooms of Ford dealers.

Charles D- Farmer of the state highway patrol the night after Christmas telegraphed every pa trolman in Nie state orders to ar rest all ’’criminals” who might be found driving a block on or after January 1 if they had not been able tr raise the money to , buy automobile licenses. The date of fate was at that time, a week ahead, but Captain Farmer, who never compromises with the law, forsooth must “ telegraph, not write,” so imperative did the mat ter of motor law enforcement ap pear to him. Commistioner ,Max well bad ordered this “crime cru sade,” so The Association was in formed. “ Naturally, the state is entitled to its motor license revenue . as promptly also. But somehow we have gotten bold of the contrary notion that jails have not been very closely packed with villians who went along a week or so without their new “ Class B” certificates Actually, it is reported that some men have dared practice law, medi cine or dentistry for days at a spell before getting their privilege li cense. And these also come from Commissioner Maxwell’s depart ment But they do not come under the stern eye ot Captain Farmer— and it wouldn’t show on the face of the professional man whether he were a day late in getting that pri vilege license. : Now the hard boiled, edict is that noTa^aflon of gasoline or a quart of oil' may be consumed by a hund red thousand or so automobile own ers until they have enough cash in band to get those tags. It matters not how much -revenue the slate may lose at the bung not a drop must seep through tbe spigot. Suppose, for instance, that the same stern attitude should be mani fest Dy the state patrol against those who break all the state’s safety laws on all-the state's highways that is maintained against those who pro vide the ievenue_to build and main tain the roads, and provide patrol men for them!

Itw ouidbe no wonder if same of them are becoming a bit fed up. Where To Put Adver tising. N otthatw e have and particular complaint to make, but merely to call attention to rather sound argu ment do we reprint here the rather humorous reaction of a South Dakota editor to the custom prevailing in his town This custom was to use the newspaper for every' purpose save advertising. The editor r e- marked: ■ ' "If a member of your fatrily. died would you send out the obituary in a circular letter? Ifyourw ife enter tained, would you run a slide on the screen of the movie show? If you were to enlarge your Btore, would you tell folks in a hotel register? If you were to have a wedding at your bouse", would you tack the news on a telephone post? , "Then why in heck don’t you put y o u r 'advertising in the new spa|e^. too?’ _____________ VFe hope the New Year will be good to our subscribers and that our dear subscribers;.will be good to us. Our- Own Dictiquaiy:. Imagiha tion—a.public speech where in the sp)ech where in the speakertells no This is open season for the coin' man cold and many formulas for its prevention and cure have been devised and published. Here is one devised by Christopher Bilopp. of the Baltimore Evening Sun, which many readers may find some what different from the usual run: - ■, Avoid kissing cousins. 4 Keep away from places where crowds congregate such as street cars, motor buses, trains, hotel lob bies, cafeterias; offices, theatres-, banks, groceries, churches, schools- streets, bowling alleys, clubs, pool parlors, lectures, dances, teas, re ceptions; shops, markets, post o f fices, private living rooms and din ing rooms and the like. Do not enter automobiles. They may be draughty. Before accept ing a lift assiire yourself that the car has been fumigated. -J; Don’t walk. You might get over heated. If, to avoid starvation or mad ness, you are forced to break the foregoing rules, wear over youf mouth and nose a mask of gauze saturated with strong disinfectant. If you are forced to attend con ference where your employer {is sneezing and wheezing, hand in your resignation Go home at once and gargle. - If you see anybody about Jto sneeze, run for your life. . - Consider others. If you tee! like sneezing yourself hunt ud . a h.ighj mountain and sneeze from the top’ of it and in the direction of soujk deserted valley. Cough into your coat and en courage others to do like wise. Do not shake hands. Wave with caution. - Do not wait for a cold to attack you. Seize the offensive by going to bed and staying there, even though you may feel perfectly well. If you observe, all of these little rules and still catch cold, you have nothing to blame but your own miserable luck. " Whose Money? Says the Charleston News Courier: “ Respectfully The News and Courier suggests that when they, or the Roosevelt administratipn, talk about ’government’ bearing the risk of loss in industry, of government spending billions on housing, of government,’ the word ’people.1 “ Let the New Dealers say the people’ are distributing $1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 a month for relief in South Caro lina. “ When they say ‘government’ they leave the unthinking to as sume that some faraway, some for eign, some magical agency, some angelic benefactor drawing his money from the moon or Saturn, is doing all these good works. • ‘The New Dealers distribute only the people’s money. Government is the people. "W hy not discard the word gov ernment* and proclaim what the people are doing, spending day by day for the other people? ; “ The are-UsingrIhe word govern ment to hide from the taxpayers, the people, what they themselves giving to the unemployed, to bring b ack ‘recovery ’ 1 "For the taxpayers are. the. peo ple, who'does not pay federal tax- es?” ..

Lest We Forget. While the country is taking stock of the first year of the return - of the legalized liquor traffic to the United States, with all its attend ant evils, including an enormous in crease in drunkenness, in death* front alcoholism and in automobile accidents, there are some things wt should not forget. ■ Thomas H, Steele, state senator elect from Iredell county, has com piled the statistics for: eight years under prohibition in the United States. He says his figures aje taken- from court records and other strictly official sources. They re veal the following: Deaths from alcoholism, decreas ed 42 per cent. Alcoholic insanity, decreased 66 per cent. General crime from drink, de creased 5 4 per cent. Drunkenness, decreased 70 per cent. - Drinking, decreased 77 per cent. As time . passes, thoughtful A mericans are going to become more and more deeply impressed by the comparison of the figures given here for the years 1923 1 9 3 1 , with' similar statistics that will be com piled from time to time so long as the legalized liquor traffic remains with us.—Winston Journal. A Short Lesson. We hear that effort are under way to make the approaching ses sion of the North Carolina legisla ture ought to be able to complete its works in 6 0 days, but for it- to rdo.sp,.tbelegislatora^.will-;have..to settle down to serious business on the openiog date, and be allowed to proceed With their woi k without manv interruptions from the out side. We doubt seriously that the leg islature will finish its work in 60 days. We have the habit of send ing too many delegations down there to impress them with our views; we allow a large lobby to flourish and keep the legislators constantly worried; we find this august body of lawmakers doing little or no business on Saturday or Mouday; and with all these facts entering into the situation, it is little wonder that the legislature drags along through a period of some months. We sincerelp hope the legislature wili get down to work, aud will work seriously at its task. It is better for the state as a whole that this body transact its business in a business like method rather than dallying about as has been the bis tory of some sessions. It is better, too. that we not harness them with numerous . delegations and lobby- sits although these seem a neces sary part of the whole scheme at times. But when we hear of a 6 0 day legislature, we just can’t believe that such will happen—certainly, not at this tim e.- Salisbury Post. and Pay The Veterans.

"it constitutes a fire hazard”? Don’t believe that ever happened, eh? Well, up in the Pompey HolIrW School of Syracuse, N.

Ward, professor of Theology at Union Theological Seminary, holds that the New Deal instead of being inimical to business and industry has favored these interests, to the disadvantage of the masses of tbe people. In a survey released by the Metho dist Federation for' Social Service, D.*. Ward reported that the New Deal program has lowered the stand ard of living for the mass of Ameri cans and has strengthened the profit system; it has failed-to reduce un employment and and it has militated against the rights of labor; ithas de decreased democracy in Government and business by promoting a Fascist like control of Government over business. According to the Ward survey, the efforts of the Administration to save investment first showed that tbe purpose of the New Deal was to bring about, recovery of the profit system, and the average man has re ceived less than ten per cent of the total Government. expenditures.— Charlotte Observer. ,with B o r n e long term planning for I j»Vid posters at this office, savings: ^ Who Gets The Printing Dollar? - Wbo gets tbe dollar that is spent, for printing?

Well, we shall shed no tears if he is-defeated next year. The Senator is a little too wet to be a special friend of tnose who profess to be dry and live up to their profession. And now it seems that all the aged, feeble, crippled and mentally unsound people are being taken off the Federal relief rolls and turned over to the counties to feed and shelter. We thought these weie the ones that should receive Feder al aid instead of the .able-bodied men and women. According to a leading North Carolina. democrat, unemployment is increasing at the rate of more -than half a million every month. And this in spite of ihe fact that we have a democratic president, a democratic Senate and a democratic congress, who promised the people tint it they were elected, all the people would be put back to work Promises are like good pie crusts— easily broken.' Mrs Thomas 0 ’Berry, Federal State Relief Administrator, said she could save the government nearly $2 0 0 ,0 0 0 per year in North Caro lina, by consolidating the Federal Aid work into thirty odd districts, instead of 100 districts, as hereto fore. Just how much has been saved since the Davie office was consolidated with Iredell and Alex ander, we can’t say. So far as we . know, not a member of the local , force have lost their jobs as a result of the consolidation. Caroliua was introduced in the Senate by Senator Rivers D. John son of Duplin.

There are. a ^number of important measures to be acted on, - such as repeal of the sales tax, auto tag reduction, more money for schools, less highway patrolmen and many other measures of importance. Not many years ago a Republican Congress appropriated $5 0 0,0 0 0 .0 0 0 to take care of the Federal budget. Many democrats went wild and de 'Cltred this country would go bank rupt if such spending kept up - President .-Roosevelt is askiag the present democratic congress for more then eight billion dollars to spend - during the coming year . The Charlotte Observer says that congress is-spending one dollar to . every 4 3 cents that the Government is collecting. Just how . long this, spending can continue, no one 'knows.

Itiders cornin’!” exclaimed Brad Lincoln. "Can’t be nobody but Hank.” Jira lenped off tile rocls, crashing down beliiml the watching men,, star tling tliem. “Smoky, it’s Hays. I saw liini a mile off.” "Why didn’t you say somethin’, then?” retorted Slocum gruffly. “I was too flabbergasted,” replied Jiru1 coolly, as he Joined them. ‘•It’s Hnnl; all right," said Mac. "Shore, I see him now. Thet’s Hank." “Jim, what flabbergasted you?” de manded Smoky. "Three riders!” Sashed Jim. "Wal. . . . So I see. - W hat. you .make of thet?” ejaculated Slocum. The three emerged clearly: from be: tn'nd the cedars. A blank silence en sued. Jim at last got the tigerish serves under control His thoughts were whirling. “Humph.

He's stolen Herrick’s sister!” Hank Hays led his two followers to wltiiln a few feet of the cluster of riders. Jim’s lightning-swift glance took the three in, their dust-caked horses, and flashed back to fasten upon Miss Herrick. Her features were sot visible through the veil The Unen coat showed the wear and tear of con tact with brush. She had on riding boots and overalls. “Wal, you’re all here but JefE,” be gan Hays. “Jeffll be cornin’ by now,” replied Smoky. “Whar you aimin' fer?” “Brakes of the Dirty Devil.” “I take it you’ve fetched Herrick’s sister.’1 “You’re a bright boy.” Hank Hays, after all you double- crossed us," roared Smoky.

I should smile in' perticular thet he will. We seen his outfit on your trail!” “Shet up! Hosses coinin’I” The ensuing rush was quelled by Smoky's ringing order. “Hold on! It’s Jeff!” An opening In the grove showed Bridges plunging upon them. “Heeseman’s outfit trailin’ us,” he announced. “Back about five miles when I left my post” “Fellers, grab your rifles an’ take to cover,” yelled Smoky. ■ Hays made a dive for his horse and, mounting, leaned over to take up a rope halter round the neck of the horse Miss Herrick was riding. “Sou lied—to me,lrShe1 cried, angrily. “You assured me that if I’d come with out resistance you’d soon arrange for my freedom. Hbre we are miles from Star ranch.” " Hays paid not the slightest attention to her, but started off, leading her horse. *■ “Jim Wall, are you going to permit this outrage?" ‘Tm powerless, Miss Herrick," he replied, hurriedly. “If Heeseman catches us you’ll be worse off.” The leader headed down the slope, dragging Miss Herrick’s horse. Jim could hear the girl’s protestations. The other riders made haste to line the pack horses. Smoky brought up the rear. Ko doubt about Hays knowing his way! He rode as one familiar with this red clay and gray gravel canyon. The pack horses kicked up a dust like' a red cloud. Jim kept unobtrusively working ahead until there were only three pack horses in front of him, and he could see Hays and the girl at intervals. Hays yelled back for his riders to hurry. He pointed to the left wall as if any moment their pursuers might appear there. The nest sign from Smoky was a' rifle shot. Jim espied something flash along the rim, high up and far back, out of range, if it were a pursuer. “Rustle!” shrilled Smoky. “I seen riders. They ducked back. They’ll aim to head us oft” . Hays bawled back an order and pointed aloft. Suddenly riders popped into view back on the point of an intersecting canyon. Hays and .Latimer opened fire with their revolvers. The riders began to return the Bre with rifles. Jim saw Latim er. knocked off his horse, but he leaped up and mounted again, apparently not badly injured. He raced ahead after Hays, who rode fast, dragging the girl’s horse, and at the same time shooting at the riders until he passed around a corner of the canyon. Latimer, soon disappeared after .him. Then the riders above turned their attention to the rest of Hays’ outfit Jim had a quarter of a mile to ride to pass-the corner ahead to safety. The pack horses were scattered, tear ing up the' canyon. Jim gained on them. Then be began to shoot One of his first -shots hit a horse, and his seventh connected with a rider, who plunged like a crippled rab bit back out of sight The others of Heeseman’s outfit took alarm, dodged here and there to bide, or ran back. Jim emptied the magazine of his rifle just before he passed round into the zone of safety. Jim hauled Bay to a halt, and soon the pack horses galloped by, every pack riding well. Lincoln dashed into sight first, closely followed by Mac, Happy Jack and Jeff, all with guns smoking. And lastly came Slocum, hatless, blood on his face. “Jest barked,” panted Slocum. .“Load yer guns—an’ ride on!” Around the next turn they came upon Hays and his two riders. With another big intersecting canyon on the right, It looked as if their pursuers were held up. Deeper and deeper grew the can yon. Mid-afternoon found the fugi tives entering a less constricted area, where sunlight and open ahead at tested to the vicinity of a wider can yon, surely the Dirty Devil. And so It proved. Hays waited for .his riders and the puck.animals to reach him. “Hank, air you aimin’ for thet roost you always give us a hunch about but never produced?” asked Slocum. “I’ve saved It op, Smoky, fer Jest some such deal as this.” Jim, over the back of his horse, watched Miss Herrick. She was tiring and her head drooped. The robber took up her halter and, straddling his horse, be .spurred into ,the muddy stream. He lead Into the middle of the river and then turned downstream. An hour later, he turned Into a craCk that could not be seen a hun dred yards back, and when JIm reached It he was amazed to isee the robber leading up another narrow gorge,'down which ran another swift, narrow stream. Jim appreciated that a man would have hid to know where this entrance was, or he could never have found i t The opening was hid den by a point of wall which curved out and around. , , . This gash wound like a snake Into the bowels of the colored, overhang in g earth. Presently they reached a bottom from which weird, black, bold walls stood lip, ragged of rim agatost thfi’Sky*-“Hyar we air," called out Hays. “Throw saddles »n’ packs. Let the hosses go. No .'ear of bosses ever leavin’ this place.” Jim’s night-owl eyes discerned Hays lifting Miss Herrick off her horse and half carrying her off toward the rustling cottonwoods, Jim, making pretense of Leading his horse, followed until Hays stopped at the border of what appeared a round grove of cot tonwoods impenetrable to the sight. “Oh, for G—d’s sake—let go of me I” gasped the girl, and sank down on the grass. “You may as well get used to thet,” replied Hays, in a low voice. “Do you want anythin’ to eat?” “Water—only water. I’m—choking.” “I’ll fetch some, an’ a bed fer you.” Little did Hays realize, as he strode back to the horses that Jlm stood there In the gloom, a clutching hand on his gun and mad lust for blood In his heart Jlm knew he meant to kill Hays. Why not now? But as before he had the sagacity and the will to resist a terrible craving. With nerveless hands he unpacked his outfit Then he sat down npon his bed roll, exhausted, and gazed around him. The place fascinated. An owl hooted down somewhere in the canyon, and far away a wolf- bayed bloodthirstily. Soon a crackle of fire tim ed Jlm to see a growing light, and dark forms of men. Jim waited until he saw Hays go to the camp fire, and then he, too, joined the men. “What kind of a roost is it, Hank? Anythin* like the Dragon canyon?” “No. I seen that place once. It’s a cave high up—forty feet mebbe, from the canyon bed. Only one outlet to thet burrow, an’ thet’s by the same way you come. This roost has four. We could never be ketched In a hun dred years.” “Hank, how’d the lady stand the ride?” “She’s all in.” “Gosh, no wonder, Thet was a job. fer men.” “Reckon I’ll put up the little tent fer my lady guest.” “Hank, how air you goin’ to collect thet ransom now?” Inquired. Lincoln “I dunno. Heeseman shore spoiled my plan.” Jira watched the robber chief min ister to the wounded Latimer. While he was bandaging the wound Jim stole away in the darkness toward where the chief had left his prisoner. It was dark as pitch toward the grove of cottonwoods, but Jim located gray objects against the black grass. He stole closer. “Where are you, Mlss Herrick?” he called in a tense whisper: “It’s Jim Wall.” He heard a sound made by boots scraping on canvas. Peering sharply he finally located her sitting up on a half-unrolled bed, and he dropped on one knee; Her eyes appeared unnat urally large and black In her white face. “Oh, you must be careful. He said he’d shoot any man who came near me,” she whispered. “He would—if he could. But he’ll never kill me. Miss Herrick,” Jim whispered back. “I want to tell yon I’ll get ^yon out of this some way or other. Keep up your courage. Fight him—If—” “I felt you’d—save me,” she Inter rupted, her soft voice breaking. “Oh, if I had only listened to you! But I wasn’t afraid. I left both my door and windows open. That’s how they got in. I ordered them out But he made that Spurrow man point a gun at me. jerked me out of bed—. throwing me on the floor. I was half stunned. Then he ordered me to dress to ride.” “Keep your nerve,” interposed Jim, with a backward glance toward the camp fire. “But EU not deceive you. Hank Hays is capable of anything. His men are loyal. Except me. I’m with them, though I don’t belong to the outfit I could kill him any time, but I’d have to fight the rest. The odds are too great. I’d- never save you that way. Tou must help me play for time—till opportunity offers.” “I trust you—I’U do as you say.. . . Oh, thank you.” “You said he robbed you?” went on Jim, with another look back at camiv Hays was standing erect "Yes". I had four thousand pounds In American currency. The Sparrow- hawk man found it—also my jewelry. A nother thing w hich w orries me now—he m ade m e pack a bundle of clothes, m y to ilet articles— ” “Ahuh. But where was Herrick all this while?” i “They said_they had tied him up In the Uving room." “How much money did Herrick have on hand?” “I don’t know, but considerable.” “It Is a good bet he robbed your brother, too. That’s make this ran som deal look fishy, even if there were nothing else.” “There! He Is comings G o-go I You are my only hope.” Without a look Jim rose to glide away along the grove. He realized that when Hank Hays stole this girl from her home he had broken the law of his band, be had betrayed them, he had doomed himself.. No matter what 'loyalty, they felt'for Hays, the woman would change i t Her presence alone meant disruption and death. Morning disclosed as remarkable a place as Jlm had ever seen. Below, him the Uttie gray tent Hays had raised for his captive had been pitched against the gtsove of cottonwoods, which occupied a terrace. One half of the trees stood considerably higher than the other, which fact Indicated rathei a steep bank running through the mid dle of the grove. The luxurant jungli of vines, : ferns, flowers,; moss and grass on that bank was- eloquest ¥ water. ■ : _ 'TO BB OONTINUBHL : IMPROVED................

YOUNG PEO PLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—Serving C hrtst T hrough Serving Others. 1. Christ's Amazing Love for His Own (vv., 1-3). Jesus was fully conscious of what was immediately before him. He knew that the cross, with all its shame and anguish, was upon him; he knew that his disciples would shamefully forsake him in a few hours; he knew that one of that number would be the Instru ment In the hands of the devil In his betrayal; he was fully conscious of his Deity; he knew that all things were In his hands. He did not withdraw his love from them because of their weak ness and the shameful failure which ho knew would soon be made mani fest He not only loved them to the end of his earthly ministry, but loved them unto the “uttermost" The word “end” means “utterm ost” Love to the uttermost therefore means that he be stowed upon them his love, even to the extent of taking their place In death. I). Christ Washing the Disciples’ Feet (vv. 4-11). He did not regard his hands too holy to do this menial service. The true Christian does not allow his rank in society to keep him from acts of lowly service. L Steps in this service (vv. 4-G). a. He rose from supper. b. Laid aside his garments. c. Took a towel and girded himself. d. Poured water Into a basin. e. Washed his disciples’ feet f. Wiped them with the towel where with he was girded. These steps symbolize Christ’s entire work of redemption. His rising from supper represents bis rising from his place of enjoyment In the heavenly glory. His laying aside his garments symbolized his putting aside his ves ture of majesty (PhiL 2:7, 8). His girding himself symbolized his taking the form of a servant (PhiL 2:7). The water In the basin symbolized trfs cleansing blood; his washing of the disclpleB’ feet his actual cleansing of them through his word (John 15:3; Eph. 5:26); his taking his garments again, his returning to his place and position in glory. 2. Peter’s impetuous ignorance (vv. 6-9). When he realized what the Lord was doing, he refused to have his feet washed; when be reaUzed the peri] of refusal, he desired to be fully washed. 3. The significance of this service to those participating In It (vv. 8-11). a. It Is a spiritual cleansing (v. 8). Fellowship with Jesus is possible only as we are continuously cleansed from our sins (v. 10). The cleansing here is not the washing of regeneration, but that of sanctification. He that Is re generated, that Is, washed in the blood of Christ (symbolized by baptism) does not need a repetition of the act; he only needs the cleansing of sa w iflca- tlon, symbolized by the washing o f the feet After regeneration the bellevet is contaminated by its sins as be walks through this world. Christ’s blood cleanses of all sins those who confess them. b. A badge of brotherly affection (v. 14). This act showed Christ’s aban donment to .the service of his disci* pies.. It is a lesson much needed to day. We need more and more to prac tice brotherly love. c.- An expression of humility (v. 15). This was a lesson r.-.uch needed by the disciples, and much needed by us to day. They bad just been disputing as to who should be,the greatest In the kingdom. Thus their selfish ambition was expressing ItseIL On' every band we see manifestations of. pride, van ity, and even arrogance, of those who are professed followers of the lowly Jesus. ' d. IDqualization (v. 16). The disci ples thus stooping to serve each other In.the name of Jesus Christ wlU have burned out of them the caste spirit 111. An Example for Us (vv. 14-17). The disciples of the Lord are under solemn .obligation In the spirit of hu mility to serve each other, even as Christ served his disciples. This obli gation rests upon his Lordship (v. 14); To refuse obedience to him Is to set oneself above his Lord. The way to happiness Is Implicit obedience to the Lord. Stop and Listen Do we not sometimes feel, In trial or perplexity, that others might help us If they would only stop and Ustent But they will not .and In their constant hurry we knoW it'is Uttle'use to speak: Let- us quote the lesson for ourselves and give what we ask.

OntoncJ Java Copra Is Food, Currency and Chief Article of Trade. Prepared by National Geographic Society. WaahlDgton1 D. C.—WNU Service. T O THE natives of Ontong Java, a group Of isles lying In the is land-besprinkled sea off the northwest coast of New Guinea, coconuts are synonymous with money, for copra (dried coconut meats) serves as currency. Five pieces of tobacco represent one hundred copra; a bolt of calico, a number of thousand copra according to its quality, and so on. The growing coconuts on the palms are spoken of as “green,” although they may be either green or yellow in color. At this stage they are full of the de licious sweet milk, thirst-quenching as lemonade, and the flesh they contain Is very thin. When the nuts are ripe, the flesh Is of maximum thickness, and they fall to the ground. Then they are gath ered and the thick husks are removed, the nuts emerging as they are sold In European and American shops. They are split in halves, the milk being now more or less sour, and are placed open end downward on the drying frame, a stand supported on legs about 4- feet high. Mats are put over the nuts, and a fire lighted beneath the frame is allowed to burn for about 12 hours. The dried flesh then Is readily removed from the shell with the aid of a porpoise bone or sharpened stick. This operation over, the dried-flesh, or copra, as it is called, is taken to the trading station In baskets and exchanged for goods. When a ship calls, the copra Is put into bags and weighed and then carried by natives Into flat-bottomed punts, which are towed off to the ship by a motor launch. The copra goes to Tulagi, on Florida Island of the Solomon group, where It is trans-shipped to Sydney. The oil ex tracted from copra Is used in making so{tps, candles, and butter substitutes; the pulp becomes cattle feed. The other and far less Important item of exchange at Ontong Java Is trochus shell. This shell, like the co pra, is shipped. It usually finds Its way to Japan or Belgium, where It is cut and poUshed Into “pearl” buttons. The cone-shaped, reddish shell (some times the red shows outside If the but ton has been imperfectly cut) Is washed up tnto shallow water of the reefs where it is collected by the na tives, who dive for it If necessary. Trepang and Ivory Nuts. The lagoon, abounds with beche de mer, the trepang or sea slug, a food deUcacy of the E ast It is collected by Japanese, who come out from Tu lagl In special luggers. From dinghies they look out for the sings below. When a suitable specimen is sighted, the diver goes over the side, sinks about a fathom, then transfixes his prey with the end of a sort of weighted harpoon, which he might be said to let faU upon it ' The slugs are cleaned, boiled, and dried. A full cargo for a lugger, about five tons, usually taken three months to collect Although, of course, the price varies, it Is normally $4,000 to $5,000. - Ivory nuts, the products of a grace ful palm, are used chiefly for making buttons, knife handles and similar ar ticles. Thp nuts are crushed and the objects molded: from the paste made from them. A native home on the islands is rec tangular. It has a framework of poles, tied In position with rope made from the fiber of the coconut husk. Nonalls are used. The peaked roof is thatched with pandanus-palm leaf, the leaves bent over and made fast to a stick about 4 or 5 feet long. These sticks, tied to the roof poles so tbat they over lap, make a virtually rain-proof roof. The wails of the house are made of mats of plaited coconut leaf tied to the upright sticks. The floor is also covered with these mats. Natives use these mats as beds. Other mats are used for blankets, and pieces of wood as pUlows. . In the native house, one end serves as the kitchen and storeroom. In the middle of the floor is the hearth, actual ly a hole in the ground with piles of coral stones alongside. Around the walls are plied, in separate places, the fuel of coconut busksand shells, the nets, lines and other, fishing tackle, co conuts to be used later to r food, and other odds, and ends: Hanging from the wall are a wooden dish and a pestle used in the preparation of food. There is also a stool carved from a solid log. Clean,; Charming Natives. The natives are a clean, friendly, and altogether charming people. Fond of swimming, they always bathe at least once a "day. They are well-built and handsome, many reaching 5 feet 6 inches in height and some 6 feet or more. Their complexion, of a Ught coffee color, is similar to that of the Hawalians. Boys from about fourteen years of age to twenty wear their hair cut fair- . Iy close. From then until they are married men with small families, they allow it to grow long. They resume haiivcutting at the beginning of middle age and continue the practice until they are old. For mature men, custom favors a rather close crop over most of the head, with a bushy tuft left at each side. There are. however, many exceptions to this rule. Girls wear their hair In the two tufts until they become mothers, and from then on keep their heads fairly closely shaved—a style discouraging to Uce. The hair is usually black, though at the ends It may bleach to a reddish brown, and it may be straight wavy, or, in a few cases, distinctly woolly. Hands and feet of both men and women are frequently small and often deUcately shaped, but the instep is rarely high and some natives are al most flat-footed. However, the legs are straight and beautiful, and many of the men have a grace and beauty that might be the envy of an ancient Greek. Virtually every woman wears as a skirt a fathom of canvas, kept in place by a belt of woven pandanus leaf or plaited human hair. The upper part of the body Is left bare. For a man’s attire a strip of calico passing around the waist and 'between the legs and tied back and front suffices. Children of both sexes go naked tiU they are about eleven or twelve. Elaborate Tattooing.. Both men and women, are tattooed. The decoration is begun In early child hood and with the forehead and nose. The forehead pattern resembles an open book. At the age of twelve or so, when the girls first wear skirts per* manently,' they receive suits of tat tooing from waist to knee that look from a distance like close-fltting, fig ured black bloomers. Only on close Inspection can the actual pattern be discerned. The pattern Is made up of flsh and geometrical designs. As the girl grows Older, fish are added around the hips and on the stomach. Later stiU when she becomes pregnant for the first time, the tattooing is finished by the cover ing of the breasts, chest back, arms, ’ and even the cheeks and chin lines of the face with fish design. Upon first acquaintance, the tattoo ing makes all women look alike and aU seem equaUy hideous; but one soon fails to notice It at all, despite the fact tbat the markings are a deep, greeny black. One soon learns to distinguish Individuals. The men have far less tattoo than the women. Except on the forehead and nose, they have none untU they are about twenty years of age. Then two broad bands are added, extending from the shoulder around the back to the thighs and in front terminating In two arrows on the chest The arm Is tattooed either with fish or a geo metrical design. A row of dots just below the eye gives exactly the effect that a woman seeks when she darkens her lids; it makes the eyes stand out and appear to be much larger, than they are. When a man is ,the father of a family, be may have a few fish added on his back and hips and Ibigbs; but many forego this right Coconut Palm Most Useful. It would be Impossible to find any* other single tree which serves such a variety of ends as the coconut palm, especially on Leuaniua island. It gives food and drink—the latter particularly important on smaUer IsiiEinds where there are no water boles. Visitors bave gone for ten days with nothing to drink but coconut milk. Also, it furnishes,, besides the copra of com merce, a strongly alcoholic toddy and a sticky sirup resembling treacle. The husks and sheUs provide fuel, and the dried spathe is excellent tin der. The shells serve as plates, spoons and water bottles. Tbe Wats for wall* and for beds are’made from the leaves; the dried leaves, tied into bundles, give light as torchea and flares. The spines ot the' leaves are made into brooms, and tbe central stalk, provides a weak timber which is put . to 'a number of uses. The outer skin of this stalk Is useful where a strong, tough rope Is required, as In lashing the gunwale of the canoe tp the dugout log.

News Review of Current Events the World Over President Roosevelt Tells Congress of his Great Work Relief Plan—-Designed to Supplant the Downright Dole. . By EDWARD W. PICKARD © by Westera Newspaper Union.. • President Roosevelt PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT In his message to congress, delivered in person a t a joint session, offered the law-makers a "new and greatly en larged plan’’ of work relief. He did DOt esti mate its cost, but as serted that the system of o u trig h t d o le s should be dropped and the government should undertake projects of slum clearance, grade crossing elim in atio n and other public worts that would give em ployment to- about 3,- 500,000 persons now without jobs. The fig ures to be proposed for this were re served for his budget message, but be' assured congress that they would be "within the sound credit of the gov ernment.” Mr. Roosevelt declared the gains made In the year 1934 were greater than the losses and expressed “a strong hope in the coming year.” He reasserted his belief in the “profit mo tive” but uttered a warning against wealth "which, through excessive prof its, creates undue private power over private affairs, and, to our misfortune, over public affairs as well.” This, nat urally, was taken as applying espe cially to the public service interests, which have been so apprehensive-of the administration's intentions. As for a legislative program, the “ resident made no attempt to outline one, but he did promise that definite legislation soon would be proposed cov ering old age and unemployment in surance, benefits for children and. mothers, and other features of his so cial security plans. He declared the nation was making headway toward the-“new order,” but under the framework of the Constitu tion, and he spoke of the Increased in dustrial activity, benefits to agriculture and profits to merchants that have been realized. Then. came this - stem warning: “Let him who, for Speculative profit or partisan purpose, without just war rant would-seel, tci, disturb or dispel this assurance, take heed before he as sumes responsibility for any act which slows our onward steps.” The President reported an unsettled condition In the foreign field, witb the resurrection of old jealousies and pas sions and new strivings for armament and power in more than one land, add ing: “There is no ground for apprehen sion that our relations with any na tion will be otherwise than peaceful.” Discussing the matters that will be brought before congress for action, Mr. Roosevelt said: “Among the subjects that lie imme diately before us are the consolidation of federal regulatory administration over all forms of transportation, the renewal and clarification" of the gen eral purposes, of the national indus trial recovery act, Ihe strengthening of our facilities for the prevention, de tection and treatment of crime.and criminals, the restoration of sound con ditions in the public utilities field through abolition of the evil features of bolding companies, the gradual ta pering off of the emergency credit ac tivities of government, and improve ment in our taxation forms and methods. - - “We have already begun to feel the bracing effect upon our economic sys tem of a restored agricultnre. “The hundreds of millions of addition al Income that farmers are receiving is finding its way into the channels of trade. “The farmers’ share of the national income is slowly rising. The economic facts justify the' widespread opinion of those engaged in- agriculture that our provision for maintaining a bal anced production gave at this time the most adequate remedy for an old and vexing problem. “For the present and especially'In ' .view of abnormal, world conditions, ag ricultural adjustment with certain nec- " essary improvements in methods should continue.” THE Seventy-fourth congress, elect ed on the sole issue of support of the Mew Deal, began its first session on the dot and devoted its first day to the organization of the two .houses and the swearing In of new members. The lawmakers assembled - In the..Capitol were a serious- looking tot, and-.with reason, for. they- have on . their hands a big job, that' of making the New Deal permanent; and- In the doing of it they must solve some of ..the (nost perplexing problems that our- national legislators ever have faced; It would seem that the Democrats will have no trouble In passing any legislation they wish, for they have an overpowering majority. In the senate, are 69 Democrats and only 25 Republicans, plus one Progres- siver-Robert M. LaFollette—and one Speaker Byrns Farmer-Laborite — Henrik ShIpstead The house Is comprised of 322 Demo crats, 102 Republicans, seven Progres sives and three Farmer-Laborltes. The. administration Democrats do not an ticipate any trouble from the Repub licans; it Is from the radical mem bers of their own party that their woes are likely to come, and the help of the Republicans may be necessary to curb those left wingers. The ma jority leaders in both houses can be. counted on to hold the radicals under, a tight rein if that is possible. In the speaker's chair sits Joseph T. Byrns,- chosen unanimously by bis fel low Democrats. 'H e is too much of a compromiser to suit many of them, but is now tied to the administration, which declined to oppose his election. John H .' Bankhead of Alabama, like Byrns one Of the old school, won the leadership of the house after a brief struggle.' Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas was re-elected majority lead er of the senate, and Senator Lewis of Illinois continues as chip. In their pre-session caucus the Dem ocrats voted to reduce materially the Republican representation on house committees* and decided to abrogate the 145 rule for discharging a com-- Diittee and bringing a bill to vote jvith- in a week. The number now required for this action is 218. This latter ac tion will provide another restriction on the radicals. TWO thousand eight hundred bills were introduced and referred to committees on the first day of the new congress^ Number I, handed in by Representative Wright Patman of Texas, provides for the payment of the adjusted service certificates of vet erans Immediately in cash, through the issuance of greenbacks. Patman and other supporters of this plan call it “controlled inflation.” Lemke of North Dakota, Republican, Introduced a measure for the liquida tion and re-financing of agricultural indebtedness. The liquidation would be carried out at a reduced rate of interest, according to the bill, by es tablishing an efficient credit system, through the use of the federal farm loan and federal reserve banking sys tems. Lemke also provided for the creation of a board of agriculture to supervise the program. Continuance of the HOLC was pro posed by several congressmen. The bond issue of this agency would be in creased anywhere from one billion to four and a half billion dollars in the various bills introduced on the sub ject A 100 per cent payoff, for depositors whose funds are tied up In trust com panies was sought in two bills written by Representative Clarence J. McLeod of Michigan. Many bills were introduced providing unemployment and old age insurance. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT did not wait for the opening of congress to start h is' fight against immediate payment of the veterans' bonus. The commander of a Legion post in Texas wrote him for Information on the mat ter and Mr. Roosevelt replied at length, detailing his rea.sons for opposing'the payment He argued that the obliga tion Is not immediately due; that of 3,500’000 certificates outstanding, 3.038,- 500 veterans have borrowed $1,690,000,- 000, or “more than the present worth of their bonus certificates,’’ and that when the veterans borrowed 50 per cent of the face value of, the certificates in 1931 they- used the funds to discharge their debts. This, last point, according to Nation al Commander Belgrano of the Ameri can Legion, is one of the strongest ar guments for immediate payment of the adjusted service certificates. “The foundation, of good ‘ business is good credit,” said Commander Bel- grano. “The money due veterans would be used -to satisfy bills at the corner grocery,’ would help pay rents that are long past due and would go • to hard pressed merchants to discharge the accounts of harder pressed vet erans.” " Speaker Byrns' admitted that the cash bouus bill would pass the house “because there is no opposition to-It there,”-buthe added that If the meas ure is finally enacted the administra tion will insist on some additional tax ation to meet the estimated $2,000,000,- 000 expenditure. It is believed: the senate also will, piss the bill, but lead ers doubt its passage by. congress over the Presidential veto. TF LOUISIANA wants any more pub- * Uc works money from the adminis- .tration,- it 'must '‘clarify" some of the new laws,-wbleh> its! legislature1 his passed at'the":behest of Senator Huey P.. Long. This is the gist of a letter. senttoG ov.O . K. AHeD by President Roosevelts and' the ^kingfish^’ is not pleased-by; it. He told the reporters he would makebis reply on the: floor of the senate at the ; first- opportunity. .The President’s warning applied espe cially to the Louisiana moratorium law passed in:November. Since its enact ment the PWA has held up payment? on about 60 Louisiana project* Senator Vandenberg SENATOR VXNDENBERG of ,Mich igan, liberal Republican, says lie will-introduce in the senate a bill de signed to take the Post Office depart ment out of politics; ' The measure he has Iy * drafted would put all postmasters and pos tal officials, except the postmaster g e n e r a l, under the civil serv ice, and in the giving out of jobs the post office employees would have the preference. Senator . Vandenberg has been persistently demanding that Post master Genera] Far ley either resign from the cabinet or give up bis chairmanship of the Demo cratic national committee. In line with this his bill would prohibit the postmaster general from holding any political office. " By taking polities out of the de partment and establishing a career service, Vandenberg said, “the pave ment-pounding letter carriers may look forward to ultimate graduation to the high post of first assistant postmaster general.” “Under this bill," he added, “politics and postal affairs at last are sep-. arated as far as is possible In . a democracy. All local postmasters are put squarely under civil service with emphatic and effective priorities given to the ‘postal grays’ themselves. “Existing postmasters are permitted to serve out their present commissions. Thereupon the vacancies are filled by promotion from the service ranks. Only In the event that no such person is available—and we anticipate that this contingency would-not arise other than in some of the smallest offices— can the vacancy be filled otherwise than by promotion." ONE of the most serious issues that will confront congress is the bat tle between business and industry on one side and organized labor on the other, especially over the thirty-hour work week. The American.Federation of Labor is committed to this proposi tion, and to the retention of the col lective bargaining provisions of the NRA act Big business, as represented by the Chamber of Comerce of the United States'and the National Manu facturers’ association, is opposed to the thirty-hour week, and now has the support from the Brookings institution. It also seeks the separation of labor bargaining and practice codes In the reorganization of the NRA. The open ing shot in this battle Is the intro duction by Senator Hngo L. Black of Alabama of his thirty-hour work week bill, which at present has not the sup port of the administration. EMOCRATS of Rhode Island 'sur- U prised themselves and everyone else by gaining control of both bouses of the state general assembly when a senate committee recounted the ballots from Portsmouth and South Kingston and declared two Democrats had been elected to the senate instead of the two Republicans who had been certified as winners by the state returning board. The Democratic legislators im mediately organized the assembly, ousted the supreme court members, abolisbed the state appointed board of public safety and passed a reorganiza tion bill to consolidate more than 80 agencies into 11'state departments. FOREIGN MINISTER PIERRE LA VAL is carrying out successfully the work .begun by his murdered predeces sor, Barthou, to bring France and Italy into friendly accord for the set tlement- of all the conflicts that have arisen between those nations since the World war. The agreement, it is be lieved, will also insure peace in the Balkans. After a week of lively net gotiations it was announced that 41. Laval would go to Rome “to have im portant conversations with Premier Mussolini on questions which interest the two countries and on international politics and to conclude conversations which ’ have been going on between the two countries.” W ITH remarkable celerity the jury in the Hauptmann trial was se lected, consisting .of eight men-- and four women, and' Attorney General Wilentz set forth the state's case against the Bronx carpenter who is accused of ;kidnaping and- murdering the baby " son of Colonel Lindbergh: The colonel and Mrs-- Ijndbergh were present, and they and Betty Gow, the child’s nurse, were ■ among the early witnesses.

It is a long swim when yon are thrown overboard in the mid dle of Lake: Superior. This country was thrown overboard In another lake of superior prosperity and unlimited expectations back in 1929. Farmers, newspapers devoted to the fariners’ Interest Mg bankers of the East, are interested in the fact that the money tide that for so long flowed from producers In the West to accum ulators in the E ast is now flowing in the other direction. The money tide goes, out toward the farms of wheat raisers and stock, in the West and Middle West, and to the cotton farmers In the South. It is as though the Great Lakes had been tilt ed upward at' the eastern end, and the waters sent rushing toward the Rocky mountains. The tide will not flow long In that western direction, probably. Men that have the mortgages and collect the in terest accumulate the money, In the long run. Long ago,' a man wagered that he would stand on London bridge offer*’ Ing genuine gold sovereigns for a shill ing each and find few takers. The gold sovereigns were genuine,'but no body would buy..

Some cried “Fake!” Only two purchased. “Lucky” Smith won« a $100 wager. Many Americans wish they had been as skeptical about certain stock back In 1929. KationaI Topics Interpreted by WilKam Bntcbtft The distinguished George W. Rus sell of Ireland, who signs his writings “AE,” says, “I am always struck by the terrible barrenness of rural life In America.’’ He thinks we inust “find some way to enrjeh it,” and if we don’t, "then the disease which destroyed, an cient Italy will eat into America. Tou will no -^longer feed yourselves, and you will be struck with palsy of bread and circuses.”. Mr. Russell may find greater rich ness in Irish farmhouses, but it Is a richness of the character and of Qie mind, not of surroundings. There is. little barrenness about other than in tellectual, in our rural life with its automobile, radio, moving pictures within easy reach, rural delivery, por celain bath tubs, mail order cata logues, prayer meetings, revivals, an nual circus, the public library, soon reached by automobile. Next summer our ships of war, “ven turing almost to Oriental waters,” will engage In far-flung war games cover ing. more than 5,000,000 ,square miles of the Pacific ocean. - How interesting that will be, and how rapidly those ships would come running home to hide away in port if a few . large bombing planes should sail out from Asia, from Tokyo or Rus sia’s Vladivostok, over those 5,000,000 square miles of the Pacific, and drop explosive bombs and poison gas bombs on the battleships I Geological explorers from the Byrd expedition, near the South pole, report important veins of mineral quartz, dis covered in mountains along the coast of Marie Byrd Land. If the geologists should bring back actual samples rich in gold, how quick ly men would find a way to reach those mountains, how Indifferent to death they would be in the effort. to : get there t We have pried up In Washington already $8,000,000,000 worth of gold.

In Kansas a terrific dust storm, hid ing the sun, suggests that the Agri cultural department help farmers by developing some temporary covercrop that' could be sown on wheat and corn fields when the crops come off,-a nitro gen-fixing plant if possible; -It would protect diisty surfaces from high winds and be. plowed' under, contributing humus, before the next planting. ,in the Northwest farmers haive UBetf the “duckfoot” cultivator, which cats a path 60 feet wide,'going through the roots of weeds and not destroying the protection of the stubble from wind and the washing of heavy rains: :.

Cl K lni Featnrea SyndicMfc Iaa :• WNU Servlet, • Washington.—It will be remembered th at prior to America’s entrance into the World war, the Watchful then President Wood- W ta tin e ; row Wilson- pursued -an announced policy of “watchful waiting.” Mr. Wilson justified that policy on the high plane of a love for :peace- and. the country supported him in that decision. We are seeing a simulation of that course a t present although the coun try is a t peace and not at war. The policy of watchful waiting, adopted by President Roosevelt, has reference not to international relations but to do mestic .affairs. To be specific, it . re lates solely to the political situation In the new congress. The President is confronted, as everyone knows, with a huge bloc of extremely radical mem bers in the house and senate and he has his hands full in compelling the congress to rubber stamp administra tion legislation. Recent developments, White House pronouncements and other straws tend ing to show which way the wind blows indicate, definitely that Mr. Boosevelt is going to avoid open clashes" as far as possible. He is not going to test the mettle of the radical group - too far without being sure of his ground. . Therefore, we. may expect to see considerable delay in enactment of new banking IegisIatioh and In dealing with highly controversial questions centering in" section 7 (a)’ of the na tional recovery a c t Likewise, there will be hesitancy on the part of the administration, to push forward a pro gram of revision for the Agricultural adjustment administration and the policy of waiting may be expected to be disclosed In some other phases of legislation such as the unemployment insurance scheme. I do not mean to convey the impres sion that , there will be an entire ab sence of bills—some of them already are In the congressional hopper—deal ing with these various questions. But definitely, it can be said at this time that the White House ig watching con gressional developments to' determine .just how far to the radical side It m ust go in order, to avoid a .wide open split between the ultra-radicals and the New Deal contingent Just where the conservatives will figure In this picture is yet too early to determine' except that certainly they can prove themselves to be thorns in the sides of the Deznocratic leaders at most in opportune times. ; * .* * To better indicate problems con fronting the President with respect to- L i his relationship' withToaghest or congress, it is neces- Questions sary only to call at tention, to that most controversial of all questions—section T (a), of the recovery act This pro vision has had numerous interpreta tions placed upon it and Its effect generally has been to assist the inter national unions in strengthening their organizations throughout American in dustry. Section 7 (a) specifies, in ef fect, that the union in any factory having the most votes speaks for all of the employees in their dealings with the plant, management This provision is what the American Federation of Labor descrihes as collective bargain ing. It has resulted in many - cases in disruption of the so-cailed company unions, organizations having no affilia tion with any other union but usually fostered by the corporation of which the workers are employees. The consensus among unbiased ob servers here seems to be that the Fed eration of Labor overplayed its hand last winter Iff enforcing such a far- reaching interpretation of section 7 (a) as to give the larger union the voice of all employees. At that time NRA, with Donald R. Richberg guiding the policy, committed .Itself definitely in favor of such a construction. Current developments are generally accepted as showing that either the NRA admin istration or union labor failed to look; far enough Into the future to foresee the reaction that, is now taking place. ' As a'm atter of fact tremendous pres sure is being exerted on individual members of the honse and senate for; a revision of this section, and some thing will come of. it before congress - adjourns. Of course, when, union la bor acts is concert, it usually turns the gizzards of politicians very white from fear, but In the. present instance, the politicians : are tom between the devil and the deep 'blue sea. Industrialists after all, are the boys Who usually contribute to campaign funds. The politicians do not dare ignore that segment of political strength, either. Consequently, It " is ,apparent noW - that there Tyillrbe an at tempt to rewrite section. 7 : (a) in .a panner that will eliminate its ambigu ities; and take away from Mr. Richbergj now the policy director of NRA, Uie authority to. d.o so mui* Interpreting.. : At the same time,' She.

Nobody pays any attention to campaign promises except a few cranks, and they won’t bother you after election day. You’ll have a secretary to keep them from bother ing you. ‘“ W hat you’ve got to do Is to let us old hands tell you what kind of promises will get votes, and then go and make them, and take the bows. You just attend to the ' talking— you’re good at that—and we’ll get somebody up from headquarters to hand you the speeches. The ones you’ve been writing ain’t sound. You keep talking about not being able to perform impossibilities. That won’t make you any votes. Now, don’t worry, it will be all right; you just leave that speech with me and FU leave in it anything that ought to be there, and let one of. the bright lads I’ve brought along fis the rest of it for you.’ “ ‘But,’ he says, ‘I wouldn’t make a speech that somebody else wrote for me.’ “ ‘You wouldn’t,, hey,’ I says. •Well, smarter gays than you has made ’em and grabbed off big Jobs by makin’ 'em, and after they was elected they managed to squirm out of ’em, like they all do.! “ ‘But that wouldn’t be honest,’ he says. “ ‘It wouldn’t be stealin’, or bur- glarin’, would it?1 “ ‘Pretty much the same thing, yes.’ “Now, what could you do with a bird like that?” “Well, what did you do with him?” “There wasn’t nothing to do, of course, but just let him take the bit in his mouth. And a terrible mess he’s made of it. “Why. do you know the very next day he told a crowd out iu front of the "hotel that when he was elected he wanted ’em- to come down to the Capitol and tell him if there was anything wrong with the way things was going, and if they had any com plaints, and so forth. W hat do you think of that? After he was elected mind you. He’d Usten to ’em after he had the job and didn’t need to Usten to-’em. “I sat down then and tried to have a serious talk with him, and explain that nobody ever took campaigns se riously, and that he was to leave what happened after he was elected to older and wiser heads that had grown gray in politics. “He was a little huffy at that, but I thought he could take his medicine, even if it didn’t taste good, and set to work telUn’ him, as I would teU a little child, what it was all about And what does he do but turn on his heel and walk off! “The next morning I went up to his room, where he was makin’ a lot of party leaders—pbor old boys past fifty—chuck one of them medicine balls at each other just because he liked to get exercise that way. “He was all smiles when he see me, and chucked the ball at me, meanin’ to be playful, and it hit me on the ear and h u rt But I was so pleased to think he’d come around to my way of thinking that I didn’t say anything tiU the other boys had gone. “Then I said: ‘Well, I see you ain’t mad any more, so I suppose it’s all right’ “ ‘You suppose what's all right?’ says he. “ ‘Why, the quarrel between you and me. I knew you wouldn’t take that serious.’ “ ‘No,’ he says, 'I didn’t take it se rious. Here’s another speech I wrote this morning.’ He handed it to me, and I put on my-spectacles to read it, and found he’d said again that when he was elected he was going to" be the people’s man, and that the first professional politician who came to him to give advice or offer instructions wbuld he chucked out of the window. “Well, I just turned on my heel and walked- away. Here am I, an’ out there Is he, givin’ a talk to the people about the danger of trick pol iticians cornin’ into the offices an’ tryin’ -to influence elected officials, and how, if he was elected, the first thing he’d do would be to try to get to ask for a law makin’ attem pts to influence an official a. felony. A felony ! Think, of that!" “ W hat are you going to .do. about It?” I inquired, as he paused . to catch his breath. . “Well, the trouble is, we can’t do nothing about it. We ain’t, got noth ing on'him like we have with a good- many of the men we nominate. He ain’t made us no promises, wnich mebbe was our fault, for we thought; he’d be so glad to have us tell him what to do that he’d come In askin’ for advice every day. “It’s too late to head him off now, and the worst thing about it is, he’s makin* headway, and maybe will get elected in spite of all we can do to stop him, an’ that’ll be a lot, believe me. “Look at him, out there, tellin* ’em he won’t make no promises unless he knows he can carry them out, he won’t have no boss directin’, him In the discharge of his duty to the peo ple, an’ he thinks the mandate of the people is more important than the orders of all the political bosses that ever put their heads together in a back room. ‘I suppose we got it cornin’ to us. We nominated him, because we took it for granted that, he’d be a good hoy. and do what was right. But we have, learned our lesson. He'll prob ably-be. elected, for he goes good with the crowd, an’ he may get re nominated—such fellers do, some times. But when he quits, an* we put In another man, that man is goin’ to be our man, an’ he’s goin' to admit it In writin’ before he gets his name so much as .mentioned In the convention hall.” A sound of loud cheers came through the open-window. The old politician grinned. “He’s bad busi ness for us,’ he said. “B ut.I can’t help admlriu’ his nerve, at that.” ©, Beil SyndIcate--WNU Service.

RECORD PILGRIMAGE Nearly 60,000 men, all ex-soldiers of 15 nations, recently took part' In the largest pilgrimage ever made to the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes at Lourdes, France. - Three former enemies stood guard over the fa mous grotto, they being, at the re quest of the pope, a German, a Bel gian and a Frenchman. Among the countries represented were the Unit- ed States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia. Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Brazil. - IRRITATION MENTHOLATUM i : Cives .C O M F O RLT --Db i/y, . Scientists Find Fast Way to Relieve a Cold Ache and Discomfort Eased Almost Instantly Now Beginning next July all of the United States and all of Europe will be connected by a maximum air service of 72 hours. That is less time than it now takes the best steamers to go from New York to Liverpool. Plans are being laid for extending air transportation from our Pacific coast to Hawaii and Aus tralia and soon to Asia. Not long thereafter regular air lines will traverse Asia, just as has been shown to be possible from England to Australia by the recent race, and regular round-the-world mail and passenger service will be In full swing. How soon this will be con summated is uncertain; but as air development Is now progressing it is safe to predict a maximum limit ef five years, with three and even two years as a possibility. What effect such a close union of the world by transportation and transmission of intelligence will have upon universal peace must await developments. Theoretically it should be a strong bond of union between the nations and tend to ren der them common-minded. That has been the effect of Improved trans portation and more general distribu tion of news and greater personal contacts between residents of differ ent sections of the United States. Personal acquaintance is the great est antidote for belligerency. It is fair to assume, that better acquaint ance among the nations and a clear er knowledge by the peoples of all countries of those of all other coun tries will make for less hostility and suspicion, and thus remove the great est fundamental cause of war. But It is possible this influence will not develop rapidly enough to avert an other great struggle. So far from promoting the psy chology of peace, expansion of air navigation has until now produced the opposite effect. Every nation in Europe has had its fears and sus picions magnified by-the increased possibilities of hostile invasion by air. This is inevitable so long as mankind continues to cling to the theory that force is the right and dominant influence in settling inter national differences, and also domes tic differences, as we see in Russia, Germany, Italy and Spain. With such a mental attitude, every' in crease in offensive power must add to apprehension - and stimulate greater preparation for defense. Yet that does not negative the fact, that more mutual knowledge and under standing is the gateway to world peace, and that this new element, at present arousing fear, will eventual ly make felt its influence for peace. —St. Louis GIobe-Democrat m i Tahe 2 BAYER Aspirin Tablets* Make sure yew get the ..BAYER Tablets you ask tor* Ti 2 Drink a full glass of water.

They take one or two tab lets 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 de pendable of all intestinal eliminants, thus cleansing the intestinal tract of the germ-laden mucus and toxines. Second, Ctdotabs are diuretic to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the blood. Thus Calotabs serve the double purpose of a purgative and diuretic, both of which are needed in the treatment of colds.Calotabs are quite economical; only twenty-five cents for the family package, ten cents for the trial package.

HECHT PresiJeat Ameriean Bankers Association BANKING at one time was a private < bnslness, bnt more recently has de veloped into a profession—a semi-pub lic profession. This change h a s n o t come suddenly but is the result of an evolutionary proc ess. Banking bas grown and changed with the growth and change of our coun try. The banker .who has survived the trials and tribula tions of the past few y e a r s has . proven himself a . man of courage and ability, and wo may well expect him to meet the problems that lie before him with resolution and sound judgment - Changes of momentous - importance have - occurred In our economic struc tures. and bankers have had a difficult road to travel. Some will argue that all of. these changes were evolutionary and inevitable, while others look upon many of’them as revolutionary and unneces sary. It is extremely difficult to trace with any degree of accuracy the real causes.for many of our troubles and it lsmot always easy In judging these de velopments to distinguish properly be tween cause'and- effect Cnfortunately it has become the fash ion to blame on our banking system all the troubles which the depression has brought. As; a consequence we hear much of needed reform of banking by law. No one will deny that certain de fects have developed In our existing banking laws which need correction, and that certain abuses were com mitted which no one wishes to defend qr have remain possible in the future. Never before ;were bankers more de termined than-they are today to bring about whatever changes in our banking system are called for by the public wel fare. The best results can and will be ac complished by ; normal processes and gradual adjustments of our present pri vate banking structure—suitably super vised by proper authority—rather than by the passage of still more drastic laws, offering panaceas in the form of more government-owned or govern ment-controlled financial organizations. The Basis of Good Laws Lasting laws relating to any phase of human need are formed and modelled In the rough school of practical human experience and are usually the result of sound evolutionary processes rather than of sudden impulses to change fun damental principles. If we analyze the new banking pic ture'which has developed during the past eighteen months, we cannot help but arrivq at the conclusion that evo lutionary ■’ changes which have taken place in banking, and the economic life of the nation of which it is a part, have justified much of. the banking legisla tion recently passed. As we. look ahead and consider the new problems which are'facing us we must Inevitably come to the conclusion' that some further changes In our banking laws will be come necessary. ' It is not enough that bankers merely acquiesce in banking imposed by law. Zeal for evolutionary banking reform must be more aggressive than that. Banking practice itself, without com pulsion of law, can and should reflect the changes and lessons of the times and difficulties through which the na tion has passed and, even to a greater extent than law,'render banking more triiiy a good public servant by volun tary self-reform. In no small measure Is ,this accomplished by the better training of the members of the bank ing, fraternity and by instilling con stantly higher Ideals In those who are ultimately responsible for bank man agement • As we march on into the world of to morrow the banker has a greater op portunity, for usefulness than ever be fore, and I hope that the service he will render to Society will be so conscien tious, so constructive and so satisfac tory as to merit'general approval and assure him his logical high place and leadership, .. NATIONAL-SAVINGS MARK INCREASES NEW YORK.—The annual savings compilation. of the American Bankers Association for the year ending June 30, J934, shows .that for tho first time since-1930 total savings in all Amerl- can banks recorded an annual Increase. .

BJease has resigned as MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JA.NUARY 2 3 , J935 SU M M ER 27 wHejS Oo Relief Now.” “MerryChristmas” He Had To Extend ! - Friends. ■Let it be understood right now that The Tribune does not think a man is disgraced becaused he is on relief if he has tried everything else, and found that going on the relief roll was the only, way that he could obtain food for himself and family. There are hundreds of thousands of men and women on relief who would starve were it not for this relief. But there are men on relief who who are not only a disgrace to themselves, but also to the coun try whose subjects tlwy are. They are on the Velief because they are too good to do common labor, and take the relief course instead. We have in mind one man not far away who is on relief, and he ought to be shot. There may be thousands like him. He is a great big, strong man, physically, and endowed with unusual mental a- bility. We've played golf with him, and admired his swing, his air of confidence and ability to drive the ball into the next county. We’ve known him when he had a big business. We know his proud wite, his fine children No w he’s on relief I This man’s father was prominent ini his day, holding big offices, sead ing this and other sons, to colleges and universities;-;-IThi^ rman btm- , "Worir-^ttx’‘do,.usiWefe'sIae^aot Oco digmtyi?; Heik;’ ‘too good’ * to work. Now he's on relief! J- And that’s the real tragedy of this age. Suffering humanity is not the real tragedy Fireless, foodless, homeless, bad as these deplorable situations may be, do not constitute the age The real tragedy of this age is the murder of America’s self re spect; the killing of America's self reliance. Once a man steps up and takes from his government the dole that is handed oat in. the way of relief, and he can never be the same man again. Something is gone—some thing that can never be reclaimed. Those who have no other way ate to be pitied. Those who can do for themselves, yet sitep right into the line and take their doles from the relief agencies constitute the menance to Americanism. Their very act nullifies the declaration of independence, and spells doom Mo the spirit of American iudepend ence. This man we’re talknig about is representative of that group. He could make a living for him self and family. He has gccd heialtb, great strength, fine intel lect. He could at least, get hiin a corner and sell papers. ' But he’s relief now !-E x.

In every town and small city .'here are two distinct groups, for ^ver at war with one another. In the one group there is found the older citizenship—the men and the sons of the men w no. were na tive when the place was a cross roads, and who have lived in the place in all its varying stages. They have had part in-its every depart tnent; tbey have been part and par cel in its every improvement. It is therefore, TH EIR town by right of creation and inheritance, they leel. In the other g: oup are the adopt ed sons of the town—the men who have come in from other places, and made the town their adopted home. They have come in all good faith, investing their money in homes aud in the establishment of. business places They have joined the clubs, the churches, the lodges, the Chamber of Commerce. It is, therefore TH EIR town by right of adoption and investment of their means and their faith, they think. • And here the conflict begins. We’re not speaking of any parti cular Town This applies, with possible exceptions, to all town. On one corner of the principal square in the town one may find a group of the older.citizens and their sons.-huddled much in the manner of a football team when the-next play is being planned. If one can -get close enough to htfar what ..is 6&fn{£said-i-ene-w.ill hear soinething like this: ;, _ ■See m at bunch of Smart Alecks over on the other coronei?

The farm agent comes here from Iredell coun ty and the town policeman comes from Fultou township.

Hays leads th e gang Into a canyon retreat—The Robbers' R oost. CHAPTER V II—Continued —12 — The grove contained perhaps twenty- five acres of level sward, as grassy as any uasture. Aside from the features that made this retreat ideal for rob bers, it was amazing In its fertility, in Its protected isolation, and in the bril liance of its many colors. Jim strode over to the camp fire to wash.“How's S parrow haw kasked Jim. “Stopped bleedin'.'' It was Hays who answered, this time. “But I gotta dig out thet bullet an’ Pm plumb feared I can’t.” "Let it be a while. How’s our prisoner I'' “Say, ail you fellers askin' me thet. Pact is, I don’t know. She was dead to the world last night” “Let her sleep. That was an awful ride.” “After grub we’ll climb up an’ look our roost over,” announced Hays pres ently. “It certainly Is a great robbers’ roost,’’ agreed Jim, wiping his face. “If we get surprised we’ll simply go out on the other side.” “Wal, we jest can’t be surprised,” said Hays, complacently. “One look out with a glass can watch all the approaches.” “If I was Heeseman and had seen you, as he sure saw us, I'd find you In three days,” returned Jim, deliberately. “Wail, I’ll bet you two to one thet you can’t even git out of here,” de clared Hays. “Why, man, yon just told us all how to get out.” “Down the gully, yes. But you’ve never seen it an’ you’d shore be stuck. . . . Wal, we’ll keep watch during* daylight” “Fellers,” Hays said at the end of the meal, “I forgot to tell you thet we took a little money from Herrick. I’ll make a divvy on thet today.” This news was received with mani fest satisfaction. “How much, about. Hank?” asked Bridges, eagerly. “Not much. I didn’t count Reckon « couple thousand each.” “Whew! Thet added to what Tve got will make me flush. An’ I’m gon na keep it” “Hank, ad there’s no deal In sight all summer, an’ mebbe not then, we tan gamble, huh!” “Gamble yourselves black In the face, provided there’s no Qghtin’. It’s good we haven’t any ilkker.” “Boss, I forgot to tell you thet I bought a couple of jugs a t the junc tion,’’ spoke up Smoky, contritely. “Wal, no matter, only It ’pears we’re all forgettln' things,” said the leader, somewhat testily. “Hank, whea're you-aimin’ to collect ransom fer tb* girl?” “Not while «het hard-shootin* outfit is campin’ on “ur trail.” Later Jim caught Smoky aside, dig ging into his pack, and approached lilm to whisper: c , 1 wistl we had Ome to talk, so .

Thanks, Smoky. Some how I’d have sworn by you,” replied Jim, hurriedly, and retraced his steps to the fire. CHAPTER VIII Alter breakfast Eays led his men, except Latimer, up through the west outlet, from which they climbed to the highest point in the vicinity. Every point of the green hole was In plain sight Every approach to i t even that down the dark gully, lay exposed. Brad Lincoln said sarcastically: “So you been savin’ this roost for your old age?” Then Jim put In his quiet opinion: “A band of men could Hang out here for twenty years—unless they fought among themselves.” by ZANE GREY • copyright.—WNU service. “Ha I” Slocum let out a single sharp exclamation. They left Jim on the bluff to keep the first watch.- Jtm had Miss Herrick’s word as to the amount taken from her. It was a certainty that Hays had also robbed her brother. But he had not reported the Wuth as to the amount; and this was another singular proof of the dis integration of the chief’s character. In all likelihood Sparrowhawk Lati mer was aware of this omission on the chiefs part. Probably he had been bribed to keep his mouth shut What ever there was to learn Jlm meant to learn. While his thoughts ran in this fash ion, skipping from one aspect to an other, Jim’s keen manipulation of the field glass followed suit And after each survey he would shift the glass back to the oval bowl where the rob bers were at work. ■ Some were-carrying water, brush, stones, while other were digging post holes. Hays began to lay a square fireplace of flat stones. The stone, sand, water were fetched to him but he did the building himself. An hour or so after the start the square grate appeared to be completed, and the chimney was going up. Four cot tonwoods formed the four corner posts of the shack. Poles of the same wood were laid across for beams. Probably Hays would construct a roof of brush, and give It pitch enough so that It would shed water. Long after noonday, and when Jim had spent at least six hours on watch, Jeff Bridges detached himself from his “IPs Up to You and Me to See No Harm Comes to This Girl.” comrades and laboriously made his way up the long slope to the bluff, upon which Jim was stationed. Jim relinquished the glass and his seat to Bridges. He made his way leisurely down off the smooth red ledges to the slope, and eventually to the valley floor. “Jim, take a snack of grub, an’ then come to work with us,” said Hays. While they were at it Smoky sug gested they erect a sun and rain shel ter for the prisoner. Hays consented with a bad grace. So before dark they built one for Miss Herrick that would add materially to her comfort, A tiny stream ran out from under the trees. Jim banked it up with clean red rocks, forming a fine little pool of clear cold water. Smoky deft ly fashioned a rude armchair, which, when covered with saddle blankets, made an acceptable seat. Hays, nbt to be wholly outdone, cut and carried a great armload of ferns. “Come out, miss,” he called Into the ten t Helen emerged, her eyes suspicious ly red, but that did not mar the flash of them. “Hays, am I to gather from this kindly service that my stay here will be indefinite?” she queried. “Wal, it looks like th et” “You can send Jlm Wall, and another of your men back to Star ranch, Tll write a letter to my brother to pay and ask no questions or make no moves.” “Shore, I reckon JIm would go. It’s easy to see th e t But none of my reg ular men would risk i t ” returned Hays."There’s a better way, Hank,” spoke up Smoky. “Send Jlm an’ me back with the girL H she’ll promise it we’ll get the money.” “I give my word,” swiftly agreed Mlss Herrick. •' “When It suits me—which Is when it’s safe to send fer thet ransom money—TO do It an’ not before.” Hays stalked away toward the cook shelter. . „ , - “You—what’s your name?” Helen asked, turning to Smoky. . “Wal, you can call me Smoky, drawled that worthy. “Jim has made you a friend—to help me?”“I reckon so, but fer Gawd s sake don’t talk so loud. Try to savvy this deal, an’ what’s your part In . i t ’ Smoky wheeled to his task as Hays strode back into earshot. Miss Herrick entered her tent, and after that UtHe more was spoken be tween the men, and presently, at Hays suggestion, they auit for the day. “Wbar you bunkin’. Smoky?” In quired Hays. “Under the cliff with Sparrow. Thet poor devil needs nursin’.” “Jim, whar you sleepln’?" “There’s .my bed and pack and sad dle,” replied Wall, pointing. “I’ll leave them there till it rains.” Hays made no comment -They re paired to Happy Jack’s shelter and to ■their evening meaL Later by the light of the campfire JIm saw Helen come out of her tent to walk up and down In the dusk. And she got nearly as far as where Jim’s things lay In the Iee of a low shelf. Darkness soon settled down, and with it the robbers, worn out with their labors. Jim stayed up long enough to see Hays stretch in his blankets under Happy’s shelter. The next day was Uke the preceding: with its camp tasks and Improvements, the guard duty, attendance upon Spar row, and the universal if covert ob servance of Miss Herrick. To do her credit she kept out of her tent, ate, exercised, and watched with great anxious eyes that haunted Jim. After that day after day, full of watching and suspense for Jim, wore on. The seventh day, during the heat of the afternoon, Jim was on the look out from the bluff with ids field glaBS. When he returned. Smoky came to meet him. “Sparrow’s been askin’ fer you,” he said, moodily.' “I’m afeared he’s lots wuss.” When Jim bent over the wasted Lati mer it was indeed to feel a cold ap prehension. “W hat is it, Sparrow? I’v e' been on watch,” said Jim. “Am I a-goin’ to croak?” queried Latimer, calmly. “You’ve a fighting chance, Sparrow.” “Wal, I’ve been shot before. But I never had this queer feelin’. . . . Now, Jim, if I git to sinkin' don’t keep me from knowin’. Tf I’m dyin’ I want to tell you and Smoky somethin’ thet I’d keep if I Uve. Savvy?” “Sparrow, I couldn’t honestly ask for that confession yet,” replied Jim. “You might pull through. But I prom ise you, and Fm shaking your hand on it.” “Good. Thet eases my mind,” On the walk across the oval Smoky said very seriously: “Jim, I reckon we better have Sparrow teU us tomorrer —whatever he has on his chest. Thet is, if we want to know i t Do you?” “I sure do. Smoky. If it’s something LaHmer must confess. it’s something we ought to know.” That night Jim moved his bed closer to the grove, farther from the. camp fire, and it commanded a view of the rise of ground where anyone passing could be detected above the horizon. Even after he had crawled under his blankets he watched. -B ut nothing passed. The hours wore on until the utter loneliness of the deep pit weighed heavily upon Jim’s oppressed breast He fell asleep and dreamed that be was riding a gigantic black horse with eyes of fire, and that there was a white flower growing gut from a preci pice, and In a strange, reckless desire to pluck it he fell into the abyss. Down, down he plunged into blackness. And suddenly a piercing, terrible cry -rose from the’depths. Jim was sitting upright In bed, his brow clammy with sweat, his 'heart clamped as in a cold vise. What had awakened him? The night was silent, melancholy, fateful. He swore that a soul-wracking cry had broken his slum ber. Then he remembered the dream. He was not subject to dreams. The rest of the night be dozed at inter vals, haunted by be knew not what. One by one the members of the gang appeared at- Happy Jack’s calls to breakfast. Jim was the last to arrive, except Hays, who had not yet appeared. 1 Aifter the meal Jlm, ag was his cus tom, hurried toward the shelf where Latimer lay. He had gotten half-way when Slocum caught up with him. “Jim, you look like the wrath of Gawd this mornin’.” “Smoky, I didn’t sleep welL I’m cross, and I reckon I need a shave.’’ “Wal, if thet’s all—Say, Jim, did you hear the gurl scream last night?” “Scream. . . . did she?” “Huh.‘ If she didn’t, Tve shore got the jlmjams. . . . My Gawd, look at pore Latimer I” Their patient had wrestled off hit bed out Into the grass. They rusheq to lift him backhand make him com fortable. He appeared to be burning up with fever and alarmingly bright- eyed, but he was conscious and asked for water. Jlm hurried to fetch some. “How I rolled out tbere I don’t know,” said Latimer, after he had drunk thirstily. “Reckon you was delirious, Spar row,” replied Smoky. “No, sir. I was scared.” “Scared! You? Thet’s funny,” re joined Smoky, looking across at Jim. “What scared you, old man?” quer ied Jim.“It was -after I • got-my sleep. Must have been late, fer I always am dsad to the world fer five or six hours. I was wide awake. It was shore a lone some, still night Mebbe my sins weighed on me. . . . But all of a sud den I heard a cry. It scared me so I jumped right off my bed. Hurt me, too, an’ I didn’t try to get back.” . “Maybe it was a coyote right by close,” returned Jim. “Fellejs, Fll bet you’ll find thet gurl dead.'. . . murdered!” concluded :Lslr ITnpr hoarsely.

YOUNG PEO PLE AND ADULT TOP- 1U—H ow Jesus Is Denied Today. A better statement of the subject would be “Peter’s Downfall.” From the height of fellowship with God which Peter enjoyed when he con fessed that Jesus was the Messiah, in Matthew 16, to the depth of emphasiz ing a lie by means of foul oaths is a long way, but the steps were quickly taken, for the time was shorn The presentation of this lesson should be done in such a way as to be a solemn warning to Christians today. In or der that we may be saved from such a fall, let us study carefully the steps in Peter’s backsliding. I. Over-weening Self-confidence (vv. 29-31). Jesus had issued a solemn warning, even a prophecy, of the backsliding of all the disciples. Peter’s unwilling ness to face the cross alienated him from Jesus, and when apprised of the fact that the disciples would all for sake Jesus, Peter declared that Jesus was mistaken, saying, “Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.” Our condition is most perilous when we are most sure of our safety. II. Sleeping at the Post of Duty (vv. 32-37). Peter and two others were priv ileged to be near to Jesus m the hour of his anguish. The favrred three were commanded to watch, but in one short hour the very one who was so confident of his self-snflicency had fallen asleep instead of watching. The only way to escape from backslid ing is to watch. The one who over rates himself under-rates the power of the deviL III. Neglect of Prayer (vv. 8S). The legitimate inference from the Lord’s words, “Watch and pray,” is that he had commanded them to pray as well as to watch. The reason there is so little prayer on the part of Christians is due to the fact that there is a lack of the sense of need of God’s help. IV. Service In the Energy of the Flesh (V. 47). When they came to arrest Jesus, Peter took a sword and cut off an ear of the servant of the high priest (John 18:10). He was zealous for the Lord, but it was zeal without knowledge. Even in his outward zeal for bis Lord he made a bungling job. If he bad been in downright earnest he would have cut off the man’s head instead of his dar. This is characterisHc of much of the service rendered today by Christians. V. Following Jesus Afar Off (v. 54). Christ’s rebuke for taking the sword and the awkward position in which Peter’s act had placed him caused him to follow Jesus afar off. This rebuke widened the breach between Peter and his Lord. Following Jesus afar off got him into further trouble. . VI. Seeking Comfort Among the Lord’s Enemies (v. 67). This fire was built by those who bad come unsympathetically to wit ness the crucifixion and even to mock in this tragic hour. For Christ's dis ciples to warm themselves at the ene mies’ fire, to get comfort from the things prepared for the satisfaction of his enemies ts sinful. Peter not only tried to get comfort by using tbat which the enemy had ’ prepared for Hiemselves,' but- he-engaged -in conver sation with the enemy and they that stood by'declared that his speech be trayed him. Multitudes of professing Christians have grown cold while sit ting around the enemies’ fire. It would be infinitely better to freeze to death in Getbsemane than to keep warm around the enemies' fire. VII. Open Denial (w . 68-72). Step by step Peter went downward until the words of a. servant girl pro voked open and blasphemous denial. Peter’s trouble began when he shrank from the cross. It was that shrinking ,which separates him from contact with his Lord. Only the one who. has been In touch with the Lord can back slide. Many of the so-called backslid ers have never been born again; they have simply returned to their own way. Conscience The men, who ’have done the most for any noble cause have been the men who have heard, and who have been prepared to listen to, the “still small voice.” G reat and Good Living- unto him is,-caring with, all, your heart for the things that are great and good and broad and godlike. Live Truly , Ift we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong as it is-for the weak to be weak. Hope Hope is the kindly instrument of God for rescuing mankind from inactivity, ■nd Inactivity is sister to stagnation. Nature as Symbol of Life Chinese Art Distinctive, in That Profound Spirit of Reverence for AU Created Things Is Firmly Implanted in Oriental Minds. Ku-hu-ming says: “Art speaks to the heart of all nations.” The Chi nese feel a reverence for the things of nature, akin to a religious awe. Air, water, flowers, trees and ani mals, to them, as to all 'ancient races, are honored as the indications of the presence of some deity, who must be duly worshiped at the prop er season. Nature Is a symbol of the universal life which we all share, writes a correspondent In the Auckland Weekly News. The largest Chinese temples are always in one of the beauty spots of the district, and are built In such harmony with the surrounding hills, trees, and rivers that the architec ture enhances the loveliness of na ture, and satisfies the eye of the beholder, seeming to fulfill some need of that particular place. Taoist contemplation and Buddhist rites' are but different paths to the same goal—the realization of the oneness of nature. The deep chasm which to the western mind divides nature from the human intellect does not exist for the oriental. To him nature has a soul and lives as does man himself. So, whether revealed in snow-ciad mountains, in slumber ous mists drifting over rivers and lakes, In majestic trees and rugged rocks, in blossoming flowers, or In birds and beasts, Chinese art does exercise an elevating influence on the observer, calming yet exalting his mood. - Nowadays, when western civiliza tion is gradually pervading the East, too much importance is given to ma terial comfort, and thus the subtle charm and spiritual value of pic torial art, as portrayed in painting, prints, tripods, sacrificial bowls, seals, bronzes, stones and porcelain is in danger of perishing. Fruits and animals are presented as symbols. The destinies of the em pire are said to be under the tutelage of four super-natural animals—the stag, the tortoise, the phoenix, and the dragon. Hence their bronze fig ures are to be found in the palace courtyard. The stag presides over literature and is visible at the birth of sages; the tortoise over virtue and appears at periods of wide spread morality; the phoenix con trols divination, and the dragon rep resents authority. This last super natural monster is the national en sign of China. Besides Ms posses sion of authority the dragon king in fluences the seasons. Eclipses are ascribed to his pro pensity to swallow the sun and moon, leaving the world in .darkness. He is believed to conceal himself at cer tain periods under the banks of the river, and for this reason the bronze cow has to watch the river and keep it from flooding the country, but this ruse often falls to outwit the mallo, of the evil dragon, and floods resulL Other forms of the dragon are the scaly, the winged, the horned, tin hornless, and the dragon rolled witn- in itself. Each varies In color, as the azure, the gold, the scarlet, the pur ple, the black, the white, the varie gated and, most important of ail, the yellow. The Imperial dragon Is al ways to be distinguished by Its fifth claw which it assumes In all carv ings—such as carved ascents to the temple—pertaining to the emperor. Each gateway of a temple Is guarded by winged monsters who have power over all living creatures. At the Yellow temple a stone lion wipes his eyes with his paw in grief at a good man’s passing. A tiger often guards graves, for the mythical animal, who is supposed to eat the brains of the dead, fears only tigers and pine trees. A frog is sacred be- cause the chanting of frogs is often the only note heard among ruins. Rabbits Fond of Salt An experimentalist has noted that rabbits have a partiality for salt— when they can get it. Two crops of wheat were sown recently—one In salted soil, the other in the or dinary way. The germ of the idea was to discover which of the two produced the best crop. The salted land won easily when the harvest matured. Then this peculiar fact was noted with interest: After the crops bad been cut rabbits swarmed In and ate the stubble left from the salted crop down to the very roots. The paddock alongside, in which no salt had been used, was left on- xrached. O r Something He—For love of you I could be come anything. She—Become a millionaire!—An swers Magazine.

RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. News Review of Current Events the World Over Supreme Court Takes Up Gold Clause Abrogation Case Senate Committee Favors World Court Adherence— Congress Gets the Budget. By EDWARD W. PICKARD © by Western Newspaper Union, Attorney Gen eral Cummiogs HAVING given the New Deal a slight swat by holding the petroleum control feature of the NIRA uncon stitutional, the Supreme Court moved rapidly toward a judgment as to the legality of the abro gation of gold pay ments. Several cases challenging this act were lumped and oral a r g u m e n ts were heard. This being a matter of vast im portance, involving 8100,000,000.000, At torney General Homer S. Cummings himself appeared to present the case for the government. Mr. Cummings is an excellent lawyer, but not much can be said in praise of the legal abilities of most of the men whom the exigencies of politics have shoved into his office in Washington. So prob ably be was wise to handle this matter himself. Cummings defended the constitu tional authority of the President and congress to adopt the present mone tary policy as inherently the right of the government to preserve itself. In an argument distinguished for oratorical display as well as for its legal aspects, Cummings said an ad verse decision by the court would: 1. Increase Qie public and private debt of the nation by $69,000,000,000. 2. Create a special class that would be beyond the pale of the general financial structure, a class composed of those bolding bonds demanding pay ment in gold. 3. Reduce the balance in the United States treasury 82,500,000,000. 4. Add $17,000,000,000 to the pub lic debt and increase the interest charge on this debt alone by $2,500,- 000,000 a year. The latter sum alone, Cummings said, is equal to twice the value of the 1934 wheat and cotton crop. The attorney general referred to the troubled state of the country In the spring of 1933 and added, “I contend and shall show that the congress and the President of the Dnited States act ed reasonably in a period of very great difficulties and that their acts were not the product of caprice.” From the questions asked by the justices, observers gained the impres sion that there was a sharp division of opinion among them. SENATOR JOSEPH T. ROBINSON, majority leader of the senate, be ing informed that the foreign rela tions committee had voted 14 to 7 in favor of the project for American ad herence to the World court, said he would bring the resolution np on the floor of the senate as soon as pos sible. However he recognized . the sentiment against it was strong and would not predict the outcome of the fight. The new resolution as approved by the committee is slightly altered to meet the objections of other nations to what is known as reservation five. Mr. Robinson said: “The legal import and effect of res-' ervation five has been preserved in full. It is provided that discussions may take place under the Root pro tocol, but in the end the court may not entertain over the objection of the United States any request for an advisory opinion on any dispute or question in which the United States has or claims an interest.” Of the Democrats on the committee Senators Lewis and Murray voted against the resolution;. Republicans who favored it were Vandenberg and Capper. PETROLEUM control provisions of the National Industrial Recovery act, specifically section 9 (c), are held by the Supreme Court of the United States to be Invalid as unconstitu tional abdication of legislative power to the President. Eight of the justices united in rendering this decision, Jus tice Cardozo alone dissenting, and the opinion was read by Chief Justice Hughes. The section declared void authorized the President to ban interstate ship ment of “hot” oil—that is. oil pro duced in excess of state quotas. While the opinion did not deal with other phases of the recovery act, it aroused widespread speculation as to disposition of other cases. This was the first major “New Deal” case to come before the court Emergency legislation by congress to remedy the situation and to meet the objection of the court was re ported to be an immediate likelihood. T HOSE Democrats and Republicans, eminent and otherwise, who are banded together as the American Lib erty league are now really getting Into action against what they deem the rad ical features of the administration’s program, and their executive council bas put out a ' t^n-point platform. It declares the league’s opposition to such practices as sweeping delegations of legislative authority to the President, lump sum appropriations to be doled out by the White House, socialization of industry and regimentation of Amer ican Iifa In the first plank of its platform the league pledged itself “to preserve American institutions which safeguard to citizens in all walks of life the right to liberty and pursuit of happi ness*’ and at the same time “to combat the growth of bureaucracy, the spread of monopoly, the socialization of in dustry, and the regimentation of Amer ican life.” Invasion of the law making and law interpieting functions by New Deal ad ministrators was also rapped by the league ia promising “to uphold the American principle that laws be made only by the direct representatives of the people in the congress, and that the laws be interpreted only by the courts.” Other points in the 10-point declara tion of policy pledged the league to fight for government economy, a sound federal fiscal policy, a stable currency, protection for investors, and individual liberties. BECAUSE work relief must be car ried on the federal budget will not be balanced for the coming fiscal year, and probably not for several years thereafter. In present ing the budget to con gress, President Roose velt admitted this, but without qualms. He estimated $8,520,000,- 000 as the amount of money necessary to carry on the govern ment’s activities for the 1936 fiscal year be ginning July I next The expenses for the current year, partly estimated, are $8,581,- 000 ,000 . If one wishes to know who spends all these huge sums, an idea may be obtained from these figures showing the estimated expenditures for the fis cal year 1936: 1.

Of the recovery and relief fund the President asked that $4,000,000,000 be placed at his disposal to be allocated by him “principally for giving work to those nnemnloyed on the relief rolls.” Here are some other vital things disclosed by the message: The national debt will increase frow $31,000,000,000 at the close of this fis cal year to $34,239,000,000. No new taxes are requested. Con gress is asked to continue the so-called nuisance taxes which expire soon and the 3-cent stamp rate. A national defense appropriation of $899,948,065—the greatest in the his tory of the country—is requested. A total of 137,134 federal workers are to be dismissed. Veterans pensions in 1936 will reach the staggering total of $704,000,000. The accumulated New Deal deficit for three years on June 30, 1936, will total $11,700,000,000. While the trend of recovery and re lief expenditures is downward, regular federal expenses will increase. IN THE highly dramatized trial Ot Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnap ing and murder of the Lindbergh baby the state continued to weave a strong net of circumstantial evidence around the defendant Lindbergh first identi fied his voice as that of the man who received the ransom; next was Aman- dus Hochmuthf ‘ eighty-seven-year-old man who told of seeing Hauptmann driving a “dirty-green” car with a lad der in it into the Lindbergh lane March I, 1932, the day of the kidnaping. Then John Perrone, Bronx taxi driver, identi fied him as the man who paid him $1 to deliver a ransom note to “Jafsie.” “Jafsie,” otherwise Dr. John Con don, the aged Bronx educate who un dertook the negotiations with the kid naper, next went on the stand and In his garrulous way identified Bruno as the man with whom he dealt and to whom he handed the $50,000 ransom money. His long and somewhat ram bling story was bitterly assailed in cross examination by E. J. Reilly, chief of defense counsel, but seemingly the great value of his evidence was not much shaken. Detective Arthur Johnson of New York was on his way home from Eu rope bringing relatives of the late Isa- dore Fisch to testify for the state. Hauptmann claimed in his defense that the ransom money found in his pos session was given to him by Fisch, a business associate in New York. Fisch later returned to his home in Ger many, where he died. IVyfiRY PICKFORD went before i v l Judge Ben Lindsey in Los An geles and obtained a decree of divorce from Douglas Fairbanks; and thus came to an end the union of the “royal couple” of moviedom, who for ten years were regarded as the mode! wedded pair so far as happiness and worldly success went Mary’s suit, filed more than a year ago, charged Doug with mental cruelty, indifference and neglect She told Judge Lindsey the charges were true and that a fair and just property set tlement had b.een made; and after Elis abeth Lewis.

Fairbanks, in S t Moritz, Switzerland, was informed of the divorce but de clined to comment. rpX-PRESlDENT HERBERT HOOV- -*-< ER has been elected a director of the New. York Life Insuraiice com pany, at the instance of Alfred E. Smith. He was first offered the place two years ago when the death of Cat vin Coolidge' created a vacancy. Mr. Hoover said: “I have accepted’ In the hope of contributing; something to the protection and advancement of the in terests of millions of policy holders, for In these great Insurance trusts lies one o f the most vital of personal se curitles to the women and children of the country.” i A N APOLOGY to the Canadian gov- ernment and payments of $50,- 666.50 damages is the penalty imposed on the United States for sinking the rum running schooner I’m Alone in the Gulf of Mexico in March of 1929. This decision was announced by Willis Van Devanter, associate justice of the United States Supreme court, and Sir Lyman Poore Duff, chief justice of Canada, who were the commissioners of arbitration under the ship liquor treaty of 1924 between the United States and Great Britain for control ling liquor smuggling. Of the damages awarded, .$25,000 is to be paid as compensation to the Canadian government and $25,666,50 to the master and members of the crew of the I’m Alone or their families. In cluded in the latter is $10.1S5 to the widow and children of Leon Mainguy, a French citizen of S t Pierre, Mique lon, who drowned when the schooner was sunk by the coastguard. The commissioners found that the master and members of the crew were not parties to a liquor smuggling con spiracy. Pierre Laval THERE were huge sighs of relief in the chancelleries of Europe when the success of the conversations in Rome between Foreign Minister Pierre Laval of France and Premier Musso-; Iini was announced in formally. F o r tw o days the two states men d is c u s s e d the points at issue between their nations and con ditions in genera] In central Europe. Emerg ing from the last of their meetings, Laval, smiling broadly, said . to a group of French and Italian war veterans. “I am glad to tell you that Premier Mussolini and I are now In complete accord.” Without waiting for an official com munique, those best Informed said Laval and il duce bad reached a full agreement the principal features of which are a joint declaration to pre serve the independence of Austria, a five or six power pact of noninterfer ence, and provisions for colonial con cessions in Africa. The pact agreeing not to interfere with one another’s in ternal affairs presumably will include Italy, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia,. Aus tria, and Hungary; and later Eng land, France and Rumania may be asked to adhere to it C EKATOIt HUEY P. LONG, after attacking the administration on the floor of the senate, betook himself to the radio and continued the assault He declared the Roosevelt policies were hopeless, and summoned all the people to flock to his banner and help wipe out all fortunes above three or four millions, “making every man a king.” Meantime. the revolt against the kingfish In Louisiana was growing. Citizens by the hundreds were joining the Square Deal association which is pledged to march on the capltol in Baton Rouge unless the legislature re peals certain of Huey’s dictatorial laws. P UBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATOR I ICKES has resumed his contest with Arizona over the building of the Par ker dam in the Colorado river and wants the Supreme court to keep that state and its “navy,” consisting of one scow, from interfering with the job. Solicitor General Biggs asked permis sion-of the court to file spit for an in junction. The governor of Arizona recently called out his militia and his navy to keep the public administration from completing the dam. HeJield that It would interfere with the distribution of irrigation water in his state. PKEMIER K. B. BENNETT of Can ada, appealing for support for his administration, promises to give the Dominion a “New Deal”, that bears a close resemblance to President Roose velt’s economic and social program. He outlined his proposals In a speech in which he demanded “an end to the reckless exploitation ,of human re sources and the trafficking in tht- health and happiness of Canadian zen' " BRISBANE THIS WEEK Nice Lump Sum The President at Work Free Tombstone Button-Pushing Days Congress will give President Roose velt a lump sum, a considerable lump of four thousand million dollars, to let Iiim change from the system of doles and imitation jobs, “picking up leaves and pieces of paper,” to real jobs and useful work. In his new White House offices, president Roosevelt is at work on a “social security program,” which wiU include unemployment insurance ana old age pensions. The idea is to let pay rolls contribute to the cost of In surance and pensions. This might work well with normal pay rolls. You hope th a t th e P resident, In his wisdom, will include In any "security” program security for the nation, In ad dition to security for individuals, old or out of a job. 1 Unemployment insurance and old age pensions would do little good If a few thousand planes came flying from Eu rope or Asia to bomb our cities and spray them with poison gas. If they cam e now, they could do exactly as they pleased. We have no way of In terfering with them. Bruno Hauptmann’s musings on fate’s vagaries were interrupted the other day by a strange offer from Mr. Standish Hartman, who owns the old Flemington stone works, manufactur ing tombstones, just opposite the Hauptmann jail. Hauptmann was told, “If you are sent to the electric chair I will let you pick out your own tombstone, free, and help you write the epitaph. I will make it a work of art that people will go a long way to see, one that any man would be proud to have.” It should take genius to devise a tombstone that “any man would be proud to have” if he got it after being executed for murder. A day is coming when no man will do any work harder than pressing a button, and science, incidentally, will make crime obsolete. For instance, the Joliet (111.) jailer sent a fat “trusty” outdoors for a cigar, and the automatic “electric eye” at the gate saw him, flashed a light and the innocent fat "trusty” Was searched. A small metal shoehorn was found In his big loose shoe. The electric eye flashes when any body passing the gate has any sort of iaetal in' his possession. No prisoner’s friend hereafter can take in a-pistol, file or steel saw. If you buy alcoholic drinks, buy from dealers in whom you have confidence. The federal government has seized one million one hundred thousand empty whisky, wine and liquor bottles to pre vent bootleggers refilling them with bootleg supplies. An empty whisky bottle, bought for two cents, filled with eight cents’ worth of booties whisky, may mean profit for the bootlegger and mean poison for the consumer. Buy from a-retailer whom you trust, who buys from those who manufacture legally, and buy brands that you know. . To comfort those appropriating and spending large sums of public money fighting the depression it can be said, quite reasonably, that there would be no danger in spending $100,000,000,000 more, considering that the norma! in come of the United States, in really good times, Is close to $100,000,000,000.. If a man spent one or even two years’ income to settle all'his troubles you’d think the price reasonable. It would be a silly mistake, of course, to Issue the $100,000,000,000 In bonds and pay out another $100,- 000,000,000 for interest, unnecessarily. That needs to be said and will be said quite often. To read that Harry MacCraeken, seventy-five-year-old retired cattle puncher, jumped up when a bandit told him to sit still, and “drilled” the bandit through the shoulder, is mildly interesting. It is more interesting to read that it happened In a “subur ban liquor store” of Colorado, where MacCrackon spends his time sitting by the stove "whittling.” To sit whit tling bf \ liquor store stove seems a strang* occupation for one seventy- Sve y-iars old, Who knows that time is whirling away his few remaining The AAA asks congress for com plete authority over all crops,, all farm activities, and for 840,000,000’ to $60- 000,000 to move farmers from poor farms to better farms.

It will be re membered that Mr. Roosevelt said a year ago that the total public debt should not exceed $31,834,000,000 and that that figure should be reached around June 30, 19351 When it Is con sidered that the present public debt exceeds $28,500,000,000, it becomes difficult to understand how the Presi dent will succeed- in sticking to his original assertion to hold the national debt at the figure named. T te Treasury department has just released its annual repprt and»this re veals an increase in the public debt of approximately six billion dollars since June 30,1933, an eighteen months’ rec ord. It has made the total cost of the recovery spending program aggregate something over twelve billion dollars since January i, 1931, when the spend ing spree really began. To make the vast amount more readily compre hensible, if you take the time to figure it out you will find ,that the govern ment has been spending borrowed money at the rate of almost twenty- three thousand dollars a minute in the last four years. To illustrate further the magnitude of this sum a figure ex pert here has calculated that there has been about one billion minutes since the birth of Christ and. therefore, the federal government In the last four y«ars has added about twelve dollars to the public debt for each of the min utes since Christ came on earth. But to get back to the present plan, presentation of the budget with Its maximum outlay of around seven bil lion dollars recalled to some leaders the assertion by the President respect ing the topmost limit for the public debt In the budget message which he presented just a year ago Mr. Roose velt boldly stated his belief that “the government should seek to hold the public debt” to the figure of $31,834,- 000 ,000 . “Furthermore,” he added, “the gov ernment during the balance of this calendar year should plan to bring its 1936 expenditures, including recovery and relief within the revenues expect" ed In the fiscal year 1936.” The fiscal year 1936 begins next July I. Aiid. frequent pronouncements from the White House have made it clear that a balanced budget In that time I is quite unlikely. In addition;.. the treasury said in its annual report that taxes always lagged behind^ In reflecting re-, covery of the country. . For example, Income taxes to be paid on March 15, 1936, and in the subsequent install ments of that year will be the result of levies on earnings of the current calendar year. No one expects earn ings in 1935 to be normal. It is ob vious, therefore, that the balancing of the budget in the fiscal year begin ning 'July I, 1935. becomes almost a physical impossibility unless the Pres ident should do the unexpected by cutting off every one of the sixty-five or more recovery and relief agencies and should cut off all federal funds for relief of the destitute.. If that were done, it is estimated by fiscal, ex perts that ordinary receipts by the treasury would come close to meeting the ordinary cost of the regularly' es tablished governmental agencies. . * » * There had been frequent contentions by avid New Dealers that Mr. Roose- velt’s second budgetPrestdeitrs reco m m en d atio n s ViewsChange would provide a dear picture of his gener al fiscal policies. If their statements remain, true, they resulted in setting up one of the most paradoxical condi tions in the history of this nation. Looking back over the whole Roose velt period, the thing which observ ers have never been able adequately to explain is who or what effected the change in the President’s views on fundamental financial questions. It Is too obvious to precipitate. - an argu ment' that the President’s views have changed. When one goes back to his first message to congress o r. beyond that to his campaign speeches and the platform upon which he made the race for the Presidency, it is futile to at tempt to reconcile those utterances with the.subsequent spending and bor rowing program in which his adminis tration has indulged. It will be re called th a t. Mr. Roosevelt declared In his inaugural/speech an intention to balance the budget and wipe out ,the deficit left on his lap by the HoOver administration. He went on -to say thatTf congress In Ite generosity voted sums that placet: the ,budget out of balance it w<as under .the necessity at the same time to provide taxes to raise the excess expenditures. Since there can be no dispute, that Mr. Roosevelt’s views liave changed and he has acted in accordance with his new found principles, the interest ing thing Is who brought about the re vision of views on the part of the President Some of the President’s Virulent critics have asserted in the opening days of congress that Mr. Roosevelt was wholly uninformed as to the. needs with which he was con fronted when he vqas making his cam paign speeches.

HE southern trek of winter va cationists of eastern America to Florida is on. As northern resorts close their portals, tourist agen cies are besieged with queries about Florida resorts; and railroads, and steamship lines spend their annual ad vertising appropriations, boasting the merits of cities on their routes. North Florida is as different from south Florida as lower Alabama is from Cuba. Colonists had settled and de veloped an ante-bellum cotton and to bacco aristocracy at Tallahassee and thereabout when lower Florida was still a howling wilderness. Even to day, we are told, one-fifth of all Flor ida’s population was born in Georgia and Alabama; but that will not be true a decade hence. Long ago, when bears fattened on crabs and turtles’ eggs where Miami Beach and Ealm Beach now blossom, Spaniards built St. Augustine and Pen sacola and connected them with a 460- mile military highway. You motor over much of this same old line now when you drive from Jacksonville west to Mobile and New Orleans. In the Cathe dral at St. Augustine are to be seen crumbling,, parchment-bound records of marriages and baptisms among Span iards and Indians dating back to 1600. Yet Florida—but for that settled strip along her upper edge—stood still for generations, while the rest of America was in the making. The reason, of course, was. the trend of migration to the Great West. Till recent years, when better communica tion came and America's food habits began to change through intensive dis tribution methods, refrigerator cars, and high-power advertising, there was no- great consumer market for the golden winter fruits and green vege tables which the state today grows. Nor, till long after the Civil war, did manufactured fertilizer, on which Flor ida agriculture now depends, come into general use. Also, years ago, there was yellow fever. In epidemic days it paralyzed Pensacola, New Orleans, and Havana. Then came Reed, Carrol, Gorgas, and other great men of medicine, and through science life was made safe for whites in mosquito lands. “Flagler’s Folly.” As science ,whipped mosquitoes, so bold builders conquered swamps and jungles, and humanized coral-born keys, tying to the nation’s railway net a new world of strange sights and smells. Down to Tampa the steel was thrust, annexing a quaint, Spanish speaking city. And down this line In I® roared boys in uniform, “average Americans,” seeing Florida first on their way to help in a war of inde pendence. “Remember the Maine,” cried girls at wayside stations, as troops rolled south to Tampa. Old men rang church bells; boys ran to enlist for the war in “Cuby.” Uncle Sam’s first armed racket overseas since 1815. Far down the then empty east coast pushed yet another spearhead of twin steel, a “seagoing” railway. "Flagler’s Folly,’’ critics said of the one man with vision who built and paid ffir it “A railroad and a string of railroad- owned, millionaire hotels way down in that empty wilderness I There’s no freight to haul, no passengers, no cus tomers for ali those palatial hotels.” But Flagler looked across at Cuba; he looked up, saw the sun, and felt the trade wind’s kiss. Then, In his mind's eye, he probably saw what crit ics with sensory eyes alone could not see—he saw the earth tracking in space, tilting first one end and then the other, making the play of seasons, but leaving Florida more sun than any other place in the eastern United States! - On down the coast he went with his horse and buggy. Back in New York, where many calamity howlers, lived, it was below zero; yet all about the warm sunshine bathed this Land .of Flowers that lured Ponce de Leon centuries be fore. “The people will come,” Flagler said. And they came. Hotels built dec ades ago—and flocks of newer hotels— a t times turn real dollars away in droves, so great is the mass demand for bed and board; and thousands more.rush on, down over his seagoing railway, to Havana. “Flagler’s Folly” Indeed! ; Then freight came—an amazing traf fic with Cuba — even as Flagler dreamed. Cuba is our second best cus tomer in all Latin America, trade stat isticians tell us. They Go by Plane, Too. Sliding down the sunbeams, !ike giant roller coasters of the sky, come now the planes. Into greater Miami, with its many airports, flying Helds, and seaplane, docks, from Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Nassau, Panama, and South America come and go the big three-motored cabin' ships. Customs men are at the airports to inspect bags and ask for 'duties, while immigration officials examine passports. Restless, absorbing America! Land of magic economic change that fa thered Florida! You sense its fine ag gressive spirit when, riding In from sea, you watch Miami and Miami Beach silhouette their towering archi tectural masses against a sunset sky. Amazing they are, in their effect of stark simplicity and power, lifted by puny men from the sand pits and man grove swamps of yesterday. Always the contrast persists. Ten miles west, the Everglades; a crane gulping down a wriggling snake, a ’gator pulling under a wild duck; a homing Seminole, silent, watchful, in his dugout; abysmal waste, solitude, fascinating to the naturalist Yet if you think in time and not space alone, you can vision what Flor ida’s population must some day be. It is the way of subtropic lands, where living is easy, as in the West Indies. Life here has a different tempo, - a sort of tropic rhythm. Sun, sand, the blue sparkling waters of the Gulf Stream, blossoms of every hue, and waving palms bring a sense of luxury- even to the masses. Tobacco and Tourists. West of Tallahassee one rides past many tobacco fields where plants are grown under “shades.” These shades are made by stretching thin cotton cloth over frames of poles and wire, for farmers have found they may best grow certain vegetables under the same properly tempered conditions In all seasons. Tobacco seed, for planting in Virginia and elsewhere, is often grown in Florida, since better seed de velops where plants enjoy the longest periods of daily sunshine. Of course, sharp clashes of ideas, to make conversation an adventure, are rare among tourist groups here. They have too much in common. In fact, there’s a mass attitude, or attitudiniz ing, and a Standard terminology for all popular tourist themes, such as fish ing, golf, tennis, pitching horseshoes, the folly of booms, or the “bad weather back home.” A blizzard in Pennsyl vania, or any northern section from which tourists largely come, is always a front-page story in Florida papers. One intellectual oasis, however, is the “open forum” at St. Petersburg. In a park there, after the band con certs, crowds of many hundreds re main for organized debate and good- natured harangue. Argument is rife on any theme from egg-laying contests to whether the influence of Ibsen is permanent or evanescent. Socially speaking, in Florida the whole is not equal to the sum of the parts. You cannot add Sti Petersburg, for example, to Palm Beach or Miami, because you cannot add unlike things. Life among the idle well-to-do at east coast resorts, as pictured in Sun day rotogravures, is a familiar theme. Sunburned beauties sprawling under beach umbrellas; self-anointed social queens in raiment that would discount Joseph’s coat of many colors, being trundled along under the palms in an “afromobile” ; fleets of private yachts and comfortable houseboats at anchor; gay race crowds or dancing groups un der moonlit palms—all these are well- advertised aspects of Florida winter- visitor life among those who, with many servants and mountains of bag gage, move leisurely north each year, following the march of spring from re sort to resort, up and down the At lantic coast Just the same, one finds at -the principal resort centers like Miami and Palm Beach the finest sort of concerts and -lecture series made up of world-famous artists and cultural speakers, and there is an overflowing attendance. But In all America there is probably no gronp just like the 150,000 or 200,- 000 line type of farmers and small town folk who visit S t Petersburg. It is an amazing sociological phenome non, peculiar to this unusual state. It is worth contemplating. Here flourish 31 different clubs and societies, formed among tourists from various citife and states.. There are even clubs of Canadians and Scandi navians, half a world away from their homes. There are dance, dramatic, and sunshine card clubs; clubs of roque, cioqaet and shuffleboard players and a Three-Quarter Century club, all of whose members are more than seventy- five years of age. And there is a munic ipal solarium, with its Sun Bathers' club—in all more than 1,000 people— who lie about in little more than noth ing every day, exposed to the sun’s rays, to store up health at a minimum'' cost—and they are serious-minded folk, not publicity-seekers. Cookies Always in Demand Passing of Holidays Does Not Mean These Dainties Take a Back Seat; Standard Recipes for Brownies and Walnut Wafers. The holidays may come and go, but some of my readers seem to re main interested in the question of cookies, says an expert on the sub ject. In spite of previous articles devoted to their home manufacture, readers are still avid for more rec ipes. I also had a letter from one reader, saying that she had not been able to make brownies and walnut wafers, though she followed my rec ipe exactly. I, myself, have made them hundreds of times, and always with success. If you have tried walnut wafers, you have probably discovered that care must be used in removing them from pans after they have been baked. They must cool for a mo ment before they are hard enough to be lifted with a spatula. If you let them stand too long, they will get brittle. In this case they may be put back In the oven for a mo ment to soften. A little experience will show you that even this one difficulty is not hard to overcome. So far as the brownies are con cerned, I often call this recipe my foolproof recipe. A critic said the brownies were not hard at the end of 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Brownies should never be hard. They should be soft whenever taken out of the oven. I am going to give you a real treat In some of the recipes I publish to day. They have been sent in to me by a generous reader who has trans late’ from her German conk book several of her best recipes which have been tried out year after year at holiday and at other times. I know you will appreciate, as I do, her kindness in sharing them with us. I am giving you by request of a reader, a recipe for one of the most modern types of cookies; the so- called ice box or refrigerator recipe. The dough for these cookies may be shaped Into rolls, wrapped in wax paper and stored almost indefinitely In the refrigerator. Whenever you desire a hot cookie, slice the dough with a sharp, hot kDife, and bake. This recipe calls for dates and nuts. You may vary it by using other fruits which, however, must always be chopped very fine or run through a meat grinder, so that the rolls may be easily sliced. Sometimes the dough is packed into a small bread pan and sliced in oblongs. If you compare- German recipes with this you will notice that they also use a very easy way for forming cookies. In’several of these recipes the dough Is rolled into small balls, placed on baking sheets on which it will spread into rounds. The filled cookies, or Christmas balls, as they are called, are most attractive little cakes. I know you will like the chocolate macaroons as well. Chocolate Macaroons. 3 eggs ; 6 ozs. sw eet chocolate 14 lb. confectioners sugar 3A lb. chopped alm onds 14 teaspoon vanilla Beat three eggs thoroughly, put In double boiler and add 6 ounces sweet chocolate and % pound con fectioners sugar.

Dropt batter by tea spoonfuls on well greased " cookie sheets and bake very slowly (300 de grees Fahrenheit) for about 15 min- UnIquc G ridiron Squad Football In Denmark made history when a German team composed en tirely of brothers met a Danish eleven near Copenhagen. The broth ers are named Muutze and they hailed from Brauchhausen. They walked onto the field led by their father who, himself an enthusiastic footballer, initiated his sons into the game as soon as each could toddle. It was the ,first time the team had left their own country, though they had traveled much in Germany; and both father and mother Muntze ac companied the boys. Many at the game found the critical anxiety and swelling pride of father Muntze and the wistful absorption of mother Muntze at least as pleasant and di verting to watch as the game Itself. They were genuinely sorry when the gallant eleven, In spite of excellent team work, was beaten 7 to 2. utes. Drop batter 2 inches apart. Let stand a few minutes before re moving macaroons very carefully from baking sheet Filled Cookies. (Christmas Bails) H lb.

WILL TELL >* BANKERS’ STOBY American Bankers Association President Announces Move to Stimulate Newspaper Advertising NEW YORK.—Plans for stimulating wider use Ol lnrormative newspaper advertising by banks in promoting pub lic understanding and confidence in re gard to existing banking conditions and methods Have been announced by R. S. Hecbt, President of the American Bankers Association, as a part of his organization’s activities in aid of busi ness recovery. ;A general groundwork was prepared through a nationwide survey of adver tising by bankB relative to their will ingness to extend Justifiable loans to industry and trade. Thit, he said, re vealed that a large number in all parts of the country are pursuing aggressive policies along this line and encourag ing their customers to develop forward- looking business plans. “It is our aim to aid In fostering this constructive atti tude whenever possible,” he said. The Theme of Nen Advertising .The association’s Advertising De partment. under the direct supervision of the general executive officers, has prepared, at the headquarters in New York City, an informative advertising series for the use of member banks in the association to aid them in develop ing-,in their own communities better general public understanding regard ing banking, Mr. Hecht said. ''“The underlying theme of this adver tising is that sound banking is based on helpful human relations and that It bas a- unity of interest with the people of its community which binds them to- • gather with a common purpose,” he said. uWe are confident that if a clear un derstanding of this is brought home to the people In all our banking communi- - ties, it will go far in restoring the pub lic confidence which good banking de serves. A bank In which people de servedly believe is doubly safe, it is to the public interest for the people to halve confidence In their banks. The Place of Advertisinii uWe feel that bank advertising has a special public duty to perform in this connection under: existing conditions. The copy which will be supplied In the service w have developed will not only aid the Individual bank in promoting the! use of ItB own facilities but is also aimed to bring about with the aid of newspaper advertising a clearer public viewpoint regarding the essential part ■ i f occupies in the life of its communi ty.” - Mr. Hecht emphasized in regard to the hew advertising facilities being ot tered to the members of the association that they are not a profit making ven ture and that there is no intention to disturb existing advertising arrange ments, the idea being that these insti tutional services shall supplement rather than replace present plans, or that they will give assistance to mem ber, banks now lacking satisfactory ar rangements. MANY BANKS LONG LIVED In the United States— 168 Banks over 100 years old. 2,472 Banka over 50 years old. 10,391 Banks over 25 years old. . There aria in the United States 168 banks that have been in continuous ex- -Istence for inore than one hundred years. There are 2,472 banks over fifty years old, while 64% of all the banks in this country, or 10,391, are twenty-five years old or older; In other words, practically two-thirds of; the banks In this country have come through several successive periods of depression and panic, including 1907, 1914,1920 and 1929-33. The Oldest Bank The oldest bank in the country, which is. ini Boston, was chartered February 17,1784. In the 64%' of banks that are twen ty-five years, old or older is lodged a-m ajor portion of the banking re- SdUrCgS of the nation. In commenting recently upon the stability of a great majority of- the banks in the United States, Or. Harold Stonier, Educational Director of the American Bankers As sociation, said: “The fact . that we have so many banks that .have been In existence a long period of years is an eloquent tribute to the genius of American man agerial ability, for no other country has-experienced such wild gambling eras and resuita.nt periods of business stagnation asthose through which our country has passed at frequent inter- vals'during the past century."

T he Record w ould be glad to see these good people ge't a raise. One way to raise their salaries would be to do aw ay w ith the State highw ay patrol w hich is not w orth w hat it is cost ing us, and apply this huge sum to . th e salaries of our public school ■ teach ers. D avie county has em ployed a county dem onstration agent, and w ith his help, wefce'ieve the count} could put over a good fair this fall. . W e would be giad for the Davie C ountyF airA ssociation to get busy and consult the farm ers and busi ness men in the county and try to resurrect our annual fair which was suspended three or four years ago. T he N o rth Carolina legislature and the U nited States Congress are . both in session, and Up to this good hour we don’t know which bodv has passed the m ost laws, and w hether |i%’ they have helped or hindered-the country. M any dem ocrats in both bodies are not in sym pathy w ith som e of the ideas of the Piesidcnt and the G overnor. W e shall see ■what we shall see. T he absentee ballat law and the law to reduce th e price of auto tags — hasn’t been: passed yet, and we doubt seriously if the m em bers of th e preseflt-legislature will be able to repeal this infam ous law" or to reduce- the price of autom obile licenseplates O ur governor is ask ing the legislature for several million dollars additional appropriation for various and sundry purposes. T he G overnor has listened to M r. Roose velt until he actually thinks pros perity has struck N orth Carolina. H e has never been worse fooled since the day be was born. A nd now some of the N orth Caro Iiaa legislators are saying that this state can collect tour m illion dollais ta x a year fr:m the sale of liquor W hich rem inds us th at tw o years ago a certain S enator from Rowan county prom ised that if the sale of beer w as legalized in this state tbc ta x would am ount to a m illion or tw o dollars per year. T he beer was ~ legalized but the revenue tailto come to anything like the am ount prom ised. W e don’t believe the legislature will have the nerve to legalize the sale of liquor after the voters carried the state dry a year ago by nearly'200,000 m ajority. Just w hat the Sentinel m eans by bringing the country out of the red we can’t im agine. T he editor of the Sentinei know s th at this country h in the red billions of uollars that! the President him self has adm itted j th at the budget cannot be balanced. Ir we are not m istaken the govern m ent is spending more than two dollars for every dollar that is betng oaid into the tre istirv. Eveu dem ocratic Senator K ingtish Long says there are five m illion more folks out of a job today than ever before Snreiy the Sentinel is not claim ing that this country is out of the red, or at least, doesn't think that any intelligent person will believe that vve are rolling in prosperity when Te are spending more than tw ice as m uch m oney as vve are m aking.

To Kill or Not to Kill. R epresentative C harles A.

He passed aw ay alone, evidently In agony, to Judge from his distorted face. “W al, I don't know, but thet Spar row’s better off,” rem arked Smoky, with pathos. Tliey burled him In his tarpaulin on the spot, and divided his effects among them by draw ing lots. “W liat’d yon do with the money yon found on him?” queried'H ays, “W e didn’t find none.

In all justice these men ought to be told some thing.” “I say cards. You fellers can’t keep It forever," rejoined Lincoln, darkly. From that hour dated the grim and passionate gambling In which they all participated. With one man on lookout' duty the others spent most of the daylight hours sitting at Happy Jack’s table of cottonwood poles. Jim had separated his money Into two parts—one consisting of the bills of large-denom ination, and the .other of small. The latter he kept out for- gambling, intending to quit, when it was lost. But fortune was fickle. He did not lose IL Instead, he won steadily. There w as no hope of his getting out of the game so long as he was ahead. He w anted to watch, think, plan. Luqk changed eventually, and he lost all he had won. Then he seesawed for a day, before he struck another streak of los ing, and lost everything. “I’m cleaned,” he said, rising. “But, by gosh, I gave you a run.” “I’m way ahead. I’ll lend you some,” offered Hays. “No, thanks. Fm glad to get off this well. I’ll go up to the rock and send Mac down. From now on Fll do most of the lookout work. I like it.” Jim was glad this phase of his con nection with the outfit was p a st He had played for days, won and lost, all In the interest of the scheme fer m enting In his mind. He w anted to be alone. If nothing else intervened, this gambling would lead to the inevit able quarrel. W hether Hays won all the money or lost w hat he had, there would be a 'fight. At once a restless, baffled, harried condition of mind seemed to leave Jim . To face those men hour after hour, day after day, hiding his thoughts, had engendered Irritation. W hen the split came and the shooting began Jim w anted to be around. He would help It along considerably. One day, when he was returning to camp, som ewhat before sunset, he heard a sh o t He listened for others. None-came. The moment he entered the oval, to see Hays striding for the cabin, his hair standing up, and his men grouped outside of the camp shelter, Jlm knew th at there had been trouble. ’ “W hat now, Smoky?” “H ank did fer Brad.” "How? W hy? . . . You don’t mean H ays beat Lincoln to a gun?" “He did, Jim ,” ejaculated Slocum. “H e bored Brad. I w as the only feller who seen it. The rest was duckin’,” “W hat was It about, Smoky?” ‘ “Wal, Brad has' been gittin' sorer every day, an’ today we cleaned him. Brad opened up on -Hank, no doubt m eantn’ to call him fer fair. But Brad didn’t git goln’ good- before H ank went fer his gun.” “Smoky, he had his mind made up," declared Jim , tensely. “Shore. Thet’s the queer part of i t H ank w as not goln’ to let Brad spit out much. . . . An’ friend Jim, thet’s a hunch fer us." “Hays can’t beat me to a gun,” re- 'Jolned Jim , with a cold ring In his voice, “N or me either. Thet’s a safe bet* They reached the camp. Lincoln lay face down over the table, his right arm hanging low, his gun lying near his hand. - “Lend a hand, some of you,” ordered Slocum, peremptorily. They carried Lincoln, face down, across the oval to the lower side of the cottonwood grove, and In half an hour he had been consigned to earth, and Hls possessions divided among the men who had buried him. “Grave num ber tw o!” speculated Smoky. “Fellers, it runs In my mind thet Robbers’ Roost In these next tw enty years will be sprinkled all over w ith graves.”^ ' “How so, when nobody has any idee where It Is?” “Heeseman will find It, an’ Morley, an’ after them many more,” concluded Slocum, prophetically. “Let’s rustle out: of the hole,” sug gested Bridges. C H A P T E R IX It was dark by the tim e Happy Jack called them to supper. Jim carried over an arm load of brush to make a bright fire. By its flare Hays was seen approaching, and when he drew near he said: “Jim , did they tell you straight how.

Wise Parent Will Get Child’s Point of View T -\ ETECTIVE GEORGE MARTIN, off duty, bad been sitting In a t a quiet little game in the neighborhood. The evening had been most profitable and his pockets bulged pleasantly as be strode homeward through the si lent streets. The detective, was a personable young man in the early thirties. M artin lived alone in a small and rather shabby apartm ent house in the W est Sixties. The building boasted a central court with a tiDy fountain, and as he entered the paved square he glanced up a t his own windows on the fourth floor. He stopped suddenly then, with a stifled exclamation, and remained rooted, his eyes straining Incredulous ly upward. Between his windows and those of the next apartm ent ran a narrow ornamental ledge or coping, and moving slowly and carefully along this shelf, In the direction of his win dows, was the figure of a woman! He watched, fascinated, as the wom an moved, step by step, across the twelve-foot space. It was apparent that she had emerged from the win dow of his neighbor, H arry Crashaw. M artin scowled. From their first encounter he had disliked and dis trusted the sleek and dapper Crashaw— gambler, Broadway hanger-on and thrower of late and noisy parties. He muttered against Crashaw now. Some poor girl risking her life to get away from that bird! He’d have It out with. Crashaw and ask him what the devil he meant. . . . The girl had al most reached his window, and she faltered uncertainly a t the sill. Like a flash M artin bounded across the court This was a walk-up and there was no .elevator. He took the dimly lit stairs two at a time. In his apartm ent he found the girt In a crumpled heap under the open window. She did not move when he snapped on the lights. Stripping himself of coat and hat, the detective stooped, to pick her up. Laying her gently on the couch, he went swiftly into the adjoining room and returned with a bottle of brandy. B ut even as he shook It, he remem bered the boys from across the hall had killed it last night. Swearing softly, he sped out into the hall, clos ing the door behind him. B etter go into Crashaw’s room. It was nearest and he would be sure to have some spirits. He’d tell the smooth crook a thing or two while he w as about i t H e w as surprised to find Crashaw’s apartm ent brilliantly lighted and ap parently half full of people. Crashaw, himself, lay in a large armchair, his sleek h a ir rumpled and a new w hite bandage on his shoulder. Jackson, the superintendent of the building, came forward excitedly. “Just the man we want, Mr. M artin,” he said. “Mr. Crashaw here was robbed and half murdered this eve ning.” M artin’s Jaw dropped. He came in quickly and shut the door. . “Yeah,” snarled crashaw , “and you dicks better get busy on this. It was a girl, see? One of these apartm ent house thieves. I came in and found her at the wall safe, and she cleaned it out while she held a gun on me. I w as mad and I tried to rush her. I did get the gun away, but in the rum pus it went off.” He glanced ruefully a t his shoulder. “It must have stunned m e; anyway I crumpled up, and the girl made her getaway. “W hat I can’t understand,” he add ed Irritably, “is how she got out,-with you fellows out there pounding on the door.” M artin, his head in a whirl, had a. momentary flash-back of a terrified small figure clinging to a wall. But his eyes betrayed nothing as he fixed them on Crashaw. “Just w hat did she take?” he asked levelly. “Six hundred dollars In cash,” snapped Crashaw. “It seems to me you’re damned cool about it, M artin.” “W hat do yon expect me to do; burst out crying? I'll go and report it.” M artin turned on his heel. He knew very well w hat he had to do. Duty was duty. B ut she was a game bid all right— Oh, well, w hat the h—I? He went swiftly down the hall and entered his own apartm ent. The girl w as standing in the center of th e room, her hands thrust deep in the pockets of her worn liather co at H er wide eyes met his challengingly, but he sensed- the mute appeal behind them. She did not speak. “Scram, kid,” he said quietly. “Out the window. You can make it to the fire-escape and down into the court Step on i t because they’re out for your blood.” He gestured toward the other room. "Put the Crashaw loot on the table as you go.by,” he ordered, without looking a t her. “ It’s all rig h t I’ll give It back.” H e waited till he heard her cau tiously descending the -fire-escape, then, relaxing, reached out for his coat which still hung^on the chair near the bathroom. H e needed s cigarette badly. Regarding the coat his. mind went back 'to the forgotten poker game. Three Hundred dollars he bad won In that gamp and had come home with his' pockets bulging.

World Court Adherence Proposal Sidetracked in Senate— President’s Social Security Plan Arouses Storm of Discussion. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ' © by Weatera Newspaper Union. Sen. Hiram Jonnson RATIFICATION of the world court protocols received a setback when Senator Hiram Johnson, Republican, California, bitterly denounced such ac tion as a “back door entry” to the League of Nations, and sen ate leaders rather than risk an Immedi ate vote, delayed defi nite action. Senator Johnson’s attack came on the heels of a special message to tie senate from President Roose velt who asked for early ratification of the protocols. It was the most determined movement yet made to put the United States into the court O ther senators, it Is said, were ready to follow Johnson’s lead, par ticularly Senator Borah, long time foe of the court Johnson supported his opening at tack on the court by offering four em barrassing reservations to the resolu tion of ratification: 1. Prohibit the court from entertain ing jurisdication on any question re lating wholly or in part to its internal affairs. 2. Perm it recourse to the court only by agreement through general or spe cial treaties between the parties in dispute. 3. Prohibit the court and the league of nations from trying to assume jur isdiction on any question which de pends upon or relates to the Monroe Doctrine. 4. Declare the United States, by joining the court, assumes no obliga tions. Through Johnson’s action, these questions m ust be voted upon before a final vote can be reached on the resolution of adherence. Although the question has been side tracked for a time, it will be brought up soon, it Is said, and Senator Rob inson, Democratic leader, has stated that he was confident of ratification when the final test Comesv _ __— -— to present status under League of Na tions control, 46,513.

Eight men, who have qualified with the court as experts, have declared that Hauptmann penned the ransom notes. Photographic enlargements of the notes and of H auptm ann’s adm itted writings have been shown in the court, and each peculiarity of each character has been carefully gone over. Defense lawyers have fought each scrap of-testimony bit by b it An at tem pt has been made to show that some one might have forged Haupt mann’s handwriting In an effort to throw suspicion on him, but this has been vigorously refuted by witnesses who have been firm in. their assertions that only the prisoner could have been the author. An attem pt to forestall efforts of the defense to pin the crime on Isador Fisch, furrier, who died in Germany, is being made by New Jersey officials. Pinkus Fisch, brother of Isador, his wife, Czerna; his sister, Hannah, and Fisch’s nurse, Minne Steingnitz,.Jiave been brought from Germany to testify. Pinkus has asserted bis belief that his brother Is not guilty. THE Saar will be returned to Ger many on March I, a special com mittee of the League of Nations has decided. The proposal will be submit ted to Berlin a t once. Opposition to this, proposal i s ' expected, since the reich originally demanded the basin’s return .formally on or before Febru ary 15. Another difficulty arises over France’s demand that Article 42 of the Versailles treaty establishing a demili tarized zone should be applied to. the Saarland. This would ban Nazi storm troops and Brown Shirts from the ter ritory after its return. Compliance of this demand would be an admission from Germany that the Brown Shirts are a semi-military organization, and this Berlin has long denied in comput ing her military strength.' Germany won an overwhelming vic tory in the plebiscite held to determine the wishes of the inhabitants of the rich Siiar basin as to the future status of that territory. The com plete'vote as announced by the commission w as: for return to Germany 417,119, for an nexation to France 2,124, and to return GENERAL REVISION of air mail rates to prevent possible destruc tion of commercial aviation has been reciimmended by the bureau of air mail of the Interstate Commerce com mission. An investigation conducted by the lmreau discloses that most of the routes are being operated at sub stantial los.ves. and rate increases were recommended on 19 routes. R ates on one route would remain unchanged, and 11 others would be decreased. If the .recommendations are carried out. The proposed new increases range up from nine cents per mile for pound age not to exceed 300 pounds per mile, while the reductions ranged as high as 13.5 cents per mile. Opera tion losses of $1,757, 993.3!) were shown in tables submitted by the 31 exist ing operating companies, nnd it was pointed out that tlie industry would be endangered if the contractors were forced to continue operating at tre mendous losses. THE most far-flung innovation the New Deal has proposed thus far— the “social security plan” proposed by President Roosevelt—has aroused a storm of discussion. Administration adher e n ts g r e e t e d t h e scheme with wild en- | thusiasm, while the op- *■ position, led by Sena tor Borah, Idaho, has voiced vigorous criti cisms. All business In con gress has been side- H f! tracked to perm it im- ^B ^ ia te^ c a sc -iM u th e , p ro p o se d . m easure. Public hearings have already been started In th e ! senate finance committee, and the house ways and means committee has postponed consideration of the bongs bill to work on the security plan. This Is being done at the President’s behest The plan provides: Flexible, but compulsory unemploy ment insurance under a federal-state system restricted to workers and financed by a 3 per cent tax on pay roils after January I, 1938. The gov ernm ent will aid in bearing adm inlstra-' tion costs, and the treasury will han dle the fund. Ninety per cent of the' pay roll tax is to be refunded to em ployers who contributed to state un employment plans. A maximum of $15 a week of compensation to begin four weeks after the w orker loses his job and to last for not more than sixteen weeks is contemplated. The-second part of the plan pro vides for old-age pensions. The gov ernm ent Is to co-operate with the states and pay a maximum of $30 a month to persons over sixty-five. The national government is also to aid states in form ulating a plan for per sons under sixty-five which will Be financed jointly by employer and em ployee through a pay roll tax; the funds to be handled by the federal governm ent; the amount of pensions to be a percentage of the employee’s w age; with non-manual employees re ceiving more than $250 a month to be exem pt from the plan. The third section of the scheme pro vides for appropriations to give bet ter facilities to caring for mothers, and dependent- and crippled children, and the fourth section would furnish larger appropriations for public health aid. Investigation and research. Cost of the entire program to the federal government will be $100,01)0,- 000 next year and $200,000,000 In suc ceeding years. The cost to the states will be $75,000,000 next year and $150,- 000,000 in succeeding years. Some idea of the size of the plan may be gained from the report of the President’s, cab* inet which said reserves for old-age -pensions- must be maintained after some years at $15,250,000,000.

ONE of the most spectacular prison breaks in history was effected when four convicts in the San Quentin (Calif.) state prison overpowered two guards, slugged the warden uncon scious, kidnaped six hostages Including four members of the state prison board, and fled in a state owned automobile. The felons w ere-captured two hours later 54 miles from the prison after a running gun fight wth prison guards and posses. One of the convicts was wounded; as were two of the hostages. Trouble has been expected at Saii Quentin, where some 6,000 prisoners are housed In space designed for only 3,000. Unrest has been evident for some time, especially since it became necessary to put more than one man ■ In each cell. Only 190 guards have been regularly employed. W ashington. — Out of President Rooseveit’s eight-billion-dollar budget is developing a very B u d g e t S ta rts real c o n tro v e rs y C o n tro versy which runs -to the heart of the New Deal. True, this controversy like near ly all of the others will not result in changing the President’s plans, but it seems to me to be a m atter which jus tifies consideration even though the Roosevelt will in the end must prevail. Included in the budget was provision for an appropriation of four billion dol lars and, as stated by the President, to be supplied “in one sum, subject to al location by the Executive principally for giving work to those unemployed on the relief roils.” Beyond that, there was no exposition of its intended use nor has there been any. detailed state ment of the plan. As a result, there is a considerable body of opinion in the halls of congress which is saying in effect that Mr. Roosevelt ought to de fine his work relief program. He has not done so, and the best information I can obtain is that no explanation may be expected in the near future; he in tends to proceed as he has in the past by developing a program piece-meal and using the funds as the occasion requires. In the critical days of 1933 when Mr. Roosevelt took office, I believe it was generally conceded that the emergency was so serious as to w arrant delega tion by congress of almost any power even remotely desired by the President. He used that power during 1933 and 1934. Now, many members of the house and senate believe that the time has arrived for congress to become more inquisitive about the expenditure of taxpayers’ money and to avoid fol lowing in blind trust however the Pres ident may direct. W hile it is probable tliiit congress will not be told how the IpH-Kident intends to use the money ami while it is also probable that the requested appropriation of four billion dollars will be rubber stamped, the fact I-UIiuiins that at no time during the New Deal has there been such a buzz of discontent in the President’s own list of wheel-horses. Senator Byrnes, the South Carolina Democrat who has been looked upon consistently as Mr. Roosevelt’s spokesman on finan cial affairs In the senate, has informed that body that it Is impossible “to be njore specific a t fji.i.s.. time”- on -the work relief program; Senator Byrnes will go no further. He has given no interviews respecting hts own thosghts on the m atter and apparently has elected, to w ait at bat until the Pres ident tosses him the ball. Neverthe less, there are some senators who think they detect just a trace of concern In the attitude of this adm inistration spokesman and they are wondering how long be will continue to repress Iils known energies. * * * Presentation of the budget was ex pected in many quarters to disclose — . . /-.»•» t^e means by whichCritics Chide the President hoped P re sid e n t to get employment go ing again In private industry. It showed nothing tangible in- this direction. Consequently, crit ics of the adm inistration who have had opportunity to speak in the house and senate have_begun to chide the admin istration on its third experiment in three years. Representative Snell of New York, 'Republican leader in the house, has called attention to the sit uation som ething In this m anner; ‘ The President tried out one plan in 1933; he,tried out a second plan in 1934, and now he is trying a third, experim ent The first two were found to be all wet, and the Republicans, it seems, are con vinced that the current effort has two strikes on It before it gets started. They are predicting failure for it In every way except the success that is assured in getting rid of money which the treasury is borrowing. Their con versations ail have the same theme song, namely that the country is seeing activity, but they are not predicting how long this action can continue until the nation goes broke. W hether the business leaders who met at VVhite Sulphur Springs, W. Va., a month ago were right or wrong in proposing the use of a dole instead of the more expensive work relief plan, or w hether they were cor rect In any of the other recommenda tions they made, the truth is the ad ministration has rejected without com ment every single one of the recom mendations made by that group. Mr. Roosevelt made no mention In his bud get message or in his annual message to congress of plans for balancing the budget, and this fact at last has sunk in. The result is additional fear on the part of many business leaders who can see in the future only inflation and economic chaos_for Uie country. Privately, I have heard many expres sions indicating that men of wealth are putting their money into tangible prop- .erty—something that will not dry op and blow away. That is alw ays the refuge of individuals who fear that the currency which their government controls is losing its worth. These men will be criticized for that course, naturally enough, by blind followers of inflation plans. ' From all of the signs now visible, and from the undercurrent of muin- bling that I hear, it certainly is made to appear that Mr. Kousevelt is con- fronted with a necessity for some defr nite outline of his plans and an a ^ suranee that he will adhere to those plans. W ithout such, the situation as suredly is that he will not h^ v e tte confidence of the business structure. It seem s illogical even to suppose that he can gain the co-operation of busi- ness In expanding its activities, there by re-employing workers, unless he takes a different tack than*his pro nouncem ents thus far indicate. . At least, such is the conclusion of a vast num ber of thinking people. » • * I heard a visitor to W ashington say the other day that be would like to ride airplanes, "but Night the confounded things Flying flV m03t of their schedules at n ig h t” The individual Is a m an of great wealth and his tim e is of great value. H e insisted he was sincere in his state ment that he would much rather save tim e by flying if the planes were on day-light schedule. The statem ent aroused my curiosity to the extent that I conducted some Inquiry Into the situation. I found the night schedules of the air lines to be due to the fact that they are fixed by the Post Office departm ent If a line desires to carry mail it has to subject Itself to the dictates of “Big Jim ” Far ley, the postm aster general. H is office can and does say to an a ir line that it will fly a ship leaving New York at 9 p. m. or else it does not get the mail contract The result is that the plane leaves New York a t 9 p. m. or it leaves Chicago or W ashington or any other city on a time stated by the Post OflSce departm ent. AIany persons feel that such a policy Is taking undue advantage of private industry. It is true that the Post Office departm ent Is paying for carry ing the m ails at a rate probably well above the rate it receives in postage on- that mail. It is, therefore, a subsidy. But this government has for years maintained a policy of subsidizing new industries and that course is responsi ble for the success attained by the de velopment" of the transportation sys tem s of this country. The President’s special commission named to study the airplane problems of this country and to make recom- m eisdntions'heafd much testim ony and received much data showing that the airplane industry in the United States had placed this country in the number one position In the a ir among all na tions of the world.' Individual mem bers of that commission have stated they regard this as highly beneficial. Some of them a t least m aintain that development of an air industry was one of the greatest steps taken in na tional defense preparation. They ap peared to consider this one end as jtJ»> tifylng the course w ithout even con sidering the m aintenance of a great In dustry within the borders' of our na tion as a commercial u n it B u t' while this has been going on, anil while many authorities on econom ic m atters continue to urge develop ment of the air industry, we find an other agency within the government placing handicaps on that sam e seg m ent of the economic structure. The least that can be said is that the courses cannot he reconciled. * - * * The adm inistration is determined to control oil production. If it cannot do so by Executive orderThe Oil —and the Supreme Case C ourt of the United States has decreed it cannot do so in that m anner—there will be laws predicated upon the In terstate commerce clauses of the Con stitution which will perm it the execu tive branch of the government to keep its hand on the valve of oil wells. President Roosevelt apparently was cot much concerned over the Supreme court decision which invalidated that part of the recovery not,. giving the Chief Executive authority to allow or prohibit interstate movement of oil as it decided b est The President ap- peared to feel, In responding to ques tions by news correspondents, that the rebuff was only temporary. He an nounced at that tim e a determ ination to control oil production In o ne' way or another to avoid w hat he describes as a crim inal w aste of a great natural resource. The oil case, the Supreme court de cided, had its origin in regulations and executive orders issued under w hat the adm inistration believed to be authority accorded by the recoviery a c t Those regulations and orders prescribed quotas allowed to be shipped from each of the several oil producing states., The motivating spirit w as a desire to avoid accumulation of a vast surplus of cfhide oil with the consequent de pressing of prices until crude oil was w orth Uttle or nothing. B u t like many other prohibitory laws and rules of conduct, individuals resented being told they could not do a certain thing and immediately began to devise ways by w hidi itco u ld be done—a characteris tic that y a s developed to -its fullest during the bootleg days of national prohibition. The oil that was moved surreptiously cam e to be known as “hot oil,” and the controversy over the va lidity of the regulations and executive orders consequently w as called the “hot oil” case. ©« Western Newspaper Union.

These steps in both his downfall and his res toration were most strikingly present ed by G. Campbell Morgan a t the Bible conference in Northfield In 1898. I. C hrist’s Prayer for Peter (Luke 22:31, 32). Little did Peter realize the testings through which he would be forced to pass. Christ revealed to him that Sa tan desired to have him to sift as w heat and informed him that he had already prayed for his abiding faith. We see thus that before Peter fell the Lord began the preparation for his reclamation. The Lord knew that soon lie would have to announce to him that before the cock crew he would deny him thrice. II. The Look of Jesus (Luke 22:61, 62). This look was not one of contempt, but one, doubtless, filled with pity and pain. It revealed the heart of God. It brought to Peter the full conscious ness of his cowardice and disloyalty and his blasphemous words of denial, while at the same time displaying C hrist’s love and pity. III. Christ’ s Message Through the Women (M ark 16:7). The Lord’s message was “Go tell my disciples and Peter.” Had the mes sage merely been, “Go tell my dis ciples," Peter would have believed him self not included. The message indi cated that Christ had particular con sideration for him and loved him still. W hat new hope filled Peter’s heart as he heard this message from the risen Lord is seen in his w ords: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus ChrisL which, according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us ’again unto a lively hope by the resur rection of Jesus Cffirist from the dead” (I P e t 1-3). IV. A Personal Interview W ith the Risen Lord (Luke 24:34). The declaration Is here made that the risen Lord had appeared to Simon. The nature of the conversation is hid den In mystery. It may be that the Lord reminded him of his boasting self-confidence, his warming himself at the enemies’ fire and his blasphemy, but only to assure him of bis unchang ing love and that the Cross which he shunned was the very means of cover ing up his grievous sins (Luke 24:34; C f. John 20:1-10). Peter’s Open Confession of Love (John 21:11-17). The disciples had gone back to their fishing. As they returned weary and hungry C hrist invited them to break fa s t In connection with this minis try of providing food and warmth, Jesus, by skillful questions. Induced Peter to confess him three times. A vital step In Peter’s restoration was bis professing anew his love for his Lord. W hat marvelous grace, that the one who had across the fire of the enemy denied his Lord should now across the fire prepared by the Lord thrice confess his lore for his Lord. VI. His W ord Given Back (John 21:17, IS). Instead of putting poor Peter on pro bation before giving him anything to do, he immediately brought him back into fellowship with his Lord in serv ice. . It was because Peter passed sat isfactorily the exam ination and the Lord saw his real love for him that be perm itted Peter to begin his work. VII. W illingness to Suffer for Christ (John 21:18, 19). W hile Peter had now openly con fessed Christ and had received a t the Lord’s hands his work, he needed to be made willing to drink the bitter cup of suffering for his Lord. .Jesus made it clear to him that he was to follow his Lord in crucifixion. He was now willing to suffer the shame of the cross for the glory of God. Peter, with the other disciples, later counted it Joy that they were connted worthy to suf fer (Acts 5:41). It was the Cross of C hrist over which Peter blundered. A fter his restoration his greatest hap piness was to suffer for Christ’s sake.

L. C. PROBERT Vice President Chesapeake and Ohio Dines. T T IS reaso n ab le to c alcu la te th a t g o v e rn m e n t o w n e rsh ip w o u ld c o st ev ery m an , w om an and child In the United States a minimum of 20 cents a day in taxes. Railroads now pay In taxes, local, state and na tional, almost $3,000,000 a day—In the high peak of prosperity they paid more. The tax bill of the railroads for 1934 would pay all the expenses of the United States government from 1789 to 1814, covering the adm inistrations of Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison. The sum is about oue-lialf the annual interest on the present pub lic debt From it millions go to local communities for maintenance of public schools. Forty-five per cent of all taxes paid by railroads goes to pay for free public education. Then, $43,000,- 000 annually goes to build and main tain highways for some of the wildcat competitors to run over and destroy. A rem aining $125,000,000 goes for "gen eral public purposes,” whtch Includes a contribution to the expense of mak ing w aterw ays out of stream s which nature made too thick to navigate and too thin to cultivate. When the railroads stop paying these taxes, as they will if the govern m ent owns them, the taxpayers will be gin. Not a single community In the United States can escape the new tax burden. There will, of course, be an operating deficit A deficit of as little as $350,000,000 a year would be a pleas ant surprise, and that’s another million dollars a day. A total additional tax burden of 20 cents a day for every body for the pleasure of owning the railroads would be a minimum pros pect.— (The New Outlook). A RECOVERY FORECAST By EDWARD A. FILENE Merchant and Economist. BU S IN E S S is p le d g in g co o p era tion w ith th e P re sid e n t, and th e re is u n d o u b te d ly a m ore w ide spread understanding that prosperity, both for consumer goods industries and durable goods industries, depends bas ically upon the buying power of the m asses. There Is no telling, however, how far this promised co-operation will go, and we cannot expect rapid im provement until business generally acts upon this new understanding. Congress will arrange for nation wide unemployment insurance, and ■probably for old age insurance, tb'or- ottghly sound business measures, and millions of Americans will begin to spend money which they have not dared to spend before, satisfying their long-accumulated w ants and immedi ately, stim ulating business, and provid ing more employment and more buy ing power. On tbe other band, con gress may more than undo all this good work by flirting with unsound radical legislation, particularly currency in- la tion. BUILDING CHARACTER By H. G. CAMPBELL New York Educator IS O U R y o u th to d ay so w eak th a t he w ill fall easily in to crim e d elin q u en cy if school is n o t nicely adjusted to his tastes? If he Is, our Job Is to make him strong, not cater to bis weakness by putting him on a diet of educational milk toast. Perseverance was, and still is, I hope, the motto that hangs In every class room. It must be taken down and replaced by defeatism. In measuring the capabilities of children let us not Jump at conclusions or make quick de cisions. Let us not mistake laziness or w illfulness for lack of ability. By all means let us seek out Indi vidual interests and measure individual abilities, but a t the same time let us not lose sight of the fact that through out life things distasteful and things difficult must be faced, and faced maq- fully. BETTER TIMES AHEAD By HENRY I. HARR1MAN U. S. Chamber of Commerce. TH E R E is m u ch g ro u n d for e n co u rag e m e n t in p r e s e n t b u sin ess co n d itio n s. W ith 2,000,000 less unemployed than at the beginning of 1934, with farm income $1,000,000,- 000 m orerthnn In 1933 - and $1,500,000,- (H)O more than in 1922, signs are hope ful. Moreover, profits of corporations in creased 70 per cent over last year and business and the government are work ing far better together. ,I am convinced that business is prepared to accept the challenge of a somewhat changed order. ________ MORE BUILDING NEEDED Dy JBSSK H; JONES R. P. C. Chairman. WH A T is needed to revive in d u stry , and w h at is alm o st c e rta in to com e d u rin g th e next 12 months, is a great amount of build- ing. There Is a great backwater of build ing projects that have been held up during the last few years. The dam •has about reached the breaking pohrt, and the backw ater will be released In 1935. It cannot be held back any longer. There Is plenty of capital available for IL and the fear-of using It for that pnrpose is disappearing. ) Monnon Cricket One of Farmer’s Worst Enemies The Mormon cricket, essentially an insect of the mountains, has been I destructive pest In the United states since 1848. It is always pres ent In the high, rugged hills of Colo rado, Idaho, Wyoming and- M ontana. Now and then it becomes abundant enough to leave its natural habitat and migrate, In great bands, into the cultivated valleys. These outbreaks, as a rule, last from two to six years, or until the crickets are overcome by man, by natural enemies, or by weather conditions. Mormon crickets usually migrate In hands varying from the size of a city block to a square mile or more. The bands are very dense, often with 100 to 500 crickets to the Square foot. From the tim e they hatch In the spring until they disappear In the fall the crickets are almost con stantly in motion. Once under way, the band travels In a straight line, stopping a t nothing. If it meets a board fence or a house, it tries to climb over the top, rather than go ing around.

There is a definite rea son for this beyond merely a desire to bring the room “up to date,’’-accord ing to decorators, in that in most homes more time is spent listening to the radio than to any person actually play ing an instrument. This is particu larly true, they feel, with the intro duction of the present all-wave re ceivers capable of bringing in pro grams broadcast on short wave from all 'Countries in the world as well as the regular programs on the American broadcast bands. Shown above is a room created by Watson and Boaler offering the charm of Eighteenth Century decoration. Scenic paper panels in sepia tones set the color scheme. Comfortable lounge chairs make up the central group around the radio and bookshelves above it provide volumes of musical and geographical reference.
