Capitalism or Common ism. - . - I - For a year or; more, labor condi tions in the United States - have been more chaotic than ever before! tu the history of the nation. . Strikes and threats, of strik- have been due to two demands— either more pay or shorter working hours. If all these demands were granted within- the next week. 01 two, it would be only a matter oi time before strikes would again break out. The issue would be the same—more pay and shorter work: ing hours. The time Is dose a t. hand when the- American- people will be forced to make a. sharpand direct decision’ as to whether Capitalism shall con. tinne in this country or.whether we. shall turn to Communism; instead: There will be no other choice . . The great mills and'--.factories throughout, our nation: are run■;. by gigantic stockholders. It is es sential that - these corporation, otherwise they cannot.- exists: Whenever there -is- an- increase in wages or a decrease, in working hours-, it. can result in only. one thing— and that is an increase in price of the products-- that are be ing manufactured. This increase, m turn, is- passing along until it reaches the labonng class and they, as well as all others, must pay it. The-majority of workers in the mills and factories lose sight of this fact. It annouocement were to be made tomorrow that all workers be given an increase of 50 per cent in wages an reduction of 50 per cent in working hours,. there . pro: bab|y would be great jubilation oh the part of employres. It would be short-lived, because within ; a comparatively brief, period of time, they would discover that the price of everything they might buy had increased 100 per cent. If this Increase in prices were not put into effect, then the mills and factories could no longer exist and would have to stop production entirely or else they would have to be taken over, by the Government. And when the Grovernment takes over'the operation of private indus try, then we will have Communism, as it now exist in Russia. Labor in America is entitled to a respect of its just and reasonable demands, but when Labor makes demands which are unjust and un reasonable,, then Labor is working against its own interests and is cut ting its own throat. It is time that some of its leaders,were realizing this fact. ' Every unreasonable de mand that is made and .granted merely helps to bring our country that much closer to Communism. It is up to Labor to decide and. de cide quickly whether it wishes to continue heading in that direction. We would like to point out, how ever, that at no time under Com munism—as it is now practiced in Russia and other countries—could Labor in America ever hope or ex pect to enjoy the blessings which it now possesses under Capitalism. Capitalism must be fair in its dealings with Labor, and Labor must be.equally fair in its dealings with Capital, if our present econo mic system is to continue. It is rule which cannot be worked . one way: it must be carried out by both sides. Failure on the part of either side to do so will- bring about re sults equally disastrous to both sides.

But suh anticipation in ncrwise lessens the odium attached to. the. formal deci- >n Farley is at lcast the nominal head of the postofiice department and as such should be responsible for its policies and its operations. He is paid and - is -a servant to - the American public, who dependability upon the mails as a government function, with which they come in more widespread direct contact thsn any ottfer, re quires no iteration. The govern ment, in all. its functions, is in turn responsible to the .

If that isn’t a pretty come-off. when any member of the Congress wishr •* -sk any govern ment employe or obit. Jal any sen sible question we quite frankly do not know what is or would be. "It it exceedingly difficult to get away from the idea that Farley’s multiple job-holding is really the basis for his non-calling. For mem bers of the Democratic party to al low their hetman to be placed on their grill, asked about heavy cam paign contributions and other heavy campaign contributions and other assistance which he received from the group charged with having halt ed or molested the mails, however pertinent such questions may be in getting at the heart of the very topic under consideration, certainly would not be politically clubbiness is the accepted word amongst today’s Washington’s beneficiaries."

High taxes, excessive interest rates arid low prices for farm products are. at the bottom of most of the farmers troubles. The Record is only $1.00. sides.

Brakes Bad! (Rural New Yorker) Wiln the president’s request for a nillion and a half for WPA work be fore congress, and likely to become the occasion for a first-class pulling and hauling contest, the country haa it from no less an authority than Mr. Roosevelt himself that there is no hope of balancing the budget this year, nor next. Efforts will be made to “ lessen the gap” between income and outgi; and maybo a ‘layman’s balance” wi I be reached in 1938; but beyond this tbere is no promise or assurancee for the nation and its taxpayers. Increaseoffederal debt will con tinue indefinitely and, if the people of tim United States escape new and burdersome lax exactions, 'hey may consider themselves lucky. The feeling of disappointment over this prospect is no new thing for the country. As far back as 1933. President Roosevelt said there was a reasonable prospect that the income of the gov ernment soon would be enough to cover the expenses of government. The subsequent annual deficit was a- bout four billions. In January, 193d, the president slid the government should plan to have a definitely balanced budget for the “third year” of recovery, ai d from then on seek reduction of the national debt. The deficit which followed was three billions, exclusive of the cost of the bonus payments. So when in January of this year Mr. Roosevelt again said we soon could expect a balanced budget, and based his promise on an estimate of receipts and expenditures, hopeful ness was badly mixed ’ with skepti cism. The blow which falls is de pressing but not surprising. It i3. however, serious, particular - Iy in view of the main reasons why the president throws up his hands.

To popularize themselves, the tlo man-rulers:were accustomed to make large gifts to the people; and the more they gave: the more people wanted them to give. At last -their gifts could do: nothing to bnng-peace and prosperity to the nation. : Our own country is now taking the same course, and will reach the same result.- Great schemes of relief are devised for distributing funds to the people, who are called the unemploy ed and are declared to be: in great need But there us no country in the world that: posses as abr.ndantre-; sources as-our country possesses,: and no land_under the sun-where in dustry rightly directed falls short of the needs of the industrous.-: As it was in the Roman common wealth the sums given to those claim-, ing to be in need and unemployed will: cause them to demand: larger sums; and there, will - come a time when their demands cannot be met; Then they will cry as did the Roman citizens, “Give us bread and games, or revolution will follow!” There is adelusion that the civil government has somewhere a mys- teriuus and miraculous funu from which to draw all manner of money for those Who cry most vociferously for it. But the government has no money which it does not get from the peo pie, and if great sums are given to be taken from the other class. In the end we reach the point of revolution. Itisnow timefor need less schemes of relief to'be abandon ed and the people exhorted to go work and live by self-respectful in dustry. The. cities are overcrowded be cause men are seeking to escape toil.. Such'was the case in ancient Rome. As thecountry became depopulated, the large cities became overcrowded. There is today in our land abund ant territory in which: tfrofitable farming can be conducted, or ai least good living made; but multi tudes are Hocking to the cities hop ing they can find compensation with out work and toilless support by the government. Multitudes should go back to the country instead of de pending upon support by the civil government. But as long as relief schemes main tain thousands of people, the state- supported multitudes will not go back to the country. They will re main in the cities where relief will give them maintenance and all man ner of diversion will furnish them entertainment. Our cities are overgrown and much or the surplus population is support ed by the taxation of the more in dustrious and fortunate citizens. There must he a return of the people to the soil or distress will over take multitudes and disaster befall the natian. The divine decree, after the fall of man, was that by the sweat of his face he should live. But now multitudes wish to change that decree and make it read by the sweat of other people’s faces we will live. This seems to be a selfish view that the Almighty never dignified, and which can never bring peace and-prosperity to a nation. . Modern inventions have made more fruitful human toil, and less labor may be:required to support our nation than was required in the time of our ancestors,, but there, will never come, a time'when ..multitudes can remain idle'without demoraliza tion to themselves and damage tj the republic.

Gov. EarIe No Water, No Steel, No Jobs DIfNAMITE temporarily stopped a back-to-work movement in the great Cambria Works of the Bethlehem Steel corporation at Johnsto wn, Pa., scene of the most violent altercations among strikers, loy al workers and the law in recent days.Two explosions crip pled the principal water mains supply ing the plant just as Cambria once more had thrown open its doors and nearly half its 15,000 employees had filed through Steel Workers’ Organizing Committee picket lines to resume their labors. It took several days to repair the damage sufficiently to allow part of the workers to re turn.The blasts interrupted what had been the nearest- semblance of peace—still not very near—since the C. I. O. affiliate called the strike on the big steel independents who refused to sign contracts with what they dubbed “John L. Lewis’ irre sponsible organization.” The strikers committee “deplored” the ex plosions and “hoped no strikers had caused them.” Two hundred state troopers, part of the state force which had en forced the martial law declared for a few days and then lifted by Gov. George H. Earle, patrolled the Johnstown district in an attempt to apprehend the dynamiters and pro tect the water supply of the city it self from damage. Mayor Daniel J. Shields appealed to President Roose velt again, declaring in a telegram that the majority of his citizens were opposed to the C. I. O. violence and, if provoked much more by the minority, "might take the law into their own hands,” adding to the toll of deaths, injuries and destruction that already has been rolled up. He said the strikers were openly de claring that they had the support of the President. As the plants re-opened before the blasts it had seemed that the real grip of the strike had been broken, although there were still some 250 pickets on hand. The day before the re-opening, the C. I. O., in a last-minute attempt to save its cause, promised a mass meeting, near the city, of 50,000 miners who would then aid the steel strikers in keeping the plants closed. Only about 1,500 showed up, and after lis tening to speeches by union leaders they dispersed peaceably. —k— F.D.R. Waxes Impatient IT WAS believed that the pressure of public opinion in the steel strikes had driven President Roosevelt close to supporting federal legis lation similar to that of the amend ments proposed I j Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan for the na tional labor relations act. The President indicated at a press confer ence that he was as much put out at the C L O- f<>r forcing-organization upon the steel workers as he was with the corporations for refus ing to negotiate in terms of a signed contract. After a talk with Charles P. Taft, who had been chairman of the me diation board that failed to effect a settlement, the President said: “Mr. Taft arid I talked over the whole steel situation and came to nclusion that the nation as a !_g of the strikes, ne thing—‘a plague 's proposed signed to ers tzn- “sit- down” strikes and other “unfair” union practices, and provide severe penalties for unions which violated contracts with employers. His amendments: 1.—To give employers the same right which only employees now en joy to appeal to the national labor relations board for ah election to determine the representatives of employees. 2.—To require agreements in writ ing and to permit strikes only after a majority vote of all employees. Any group which broke its contract and did not repair the break after being ordered to do so by the board would be suspended from repre sentation.3.—Establish a code of practices for labor. This would: Prohibit compulsory political assessments on union members. Require that all union officers, agents and representatives be Unit ed States citizens. Forbid union organization by co ercion. Prohibit damage to property, strikes intended to force any person to violate a contract or federal laws, and violations of “any per son’s rights in real or personal prop, erty.”—4i— Der Fuehrer Scores Neutrals “ PROM now on,” AdoIf Hitler told " 200,000 Nazis at a party rally in Wurzberg, “we will prefer . . . to take the freedom, independence, honor and security of our nation into our own hands and pro- tect ourselves alone.” Disgusted, Germany withdrew from the non-inter vention patrol of Spain, as Italy did likewise. Der Fuehr er warned that the Nazis would take in dependent action to protect themselves from attacks by the Spanish government. He described how Germany had been condemned for shelling Almeria after a Spanish airplane had bombed the cruiser Deutschland, and how, when the cruiser Leipzig was attacked by a submarine while on patrol duty, the non-intervention committee had done nothing about it. A remedy suggested by Great Brit ain and France was that the patrol duty be left entirely to them, with Italian observers on French patrol ships and German observers on Brit ish ships to “ judge the equitable, impartial workirig of the system.” Germany and Italy lost little time, in refusing to accept the proposal. Sir Neville Chamberlain called the British cabinet in to see what might be done, but it was generally believed that if the Fascists continued in their policy of refusing to co-op erate with the non-intervention patrol, Great Britato would scrap her entire neutrality policy. She might extend the right, of bellig erents to Gen. Francisco Franco and. his insurgents, thus for the first time recognizing that a-state of waf exists in Spain. This would be re garded as a bit of sugar for the Fascist nations, who recognize the insurgent government as the gov. emment of Spain.—f1” Montagues and Capulets TXT'ITH all the family blessings ' v save those of a political class ification, Miss Ethel du Pont, daughter of Eugene du Pont, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr., son of the President of the United States, were married at Christ church near Wilmington, Del., in a “simple" wedding attended by a “handful” of about 400 picked guests.

Why, less than two decades ago, for my sins, I rode on a certain jerk water railroad in the deep South. The last work done on its tracks was in 1864 by General Sherman—he tore ’em up.

TOURING about over certain Western states where open gam bling either is by law permitted, or by custom winked at, I noticed this: Generally speaking, the feminine patrons are the steadiest drinkers, the most persistent gamesters, the most reckless betters of all. And frequently their manners are - the rudest and their faces the grimmest —determined seemingly to disavow the theory that their sex is the gentler sex. On the other hand, the men pa trons—descended, many of them, from old gun fighters, old prospec tors, old path-firiders—grow increasingly docile and subdued, absorbing less than their share of the hard liquor—maybe because they fear there won’t be enough left for mama and the girls—and risking their dim.es where the gallant ladies plunge with dollars.

Washington.jfcl, b e lie f‘ it was President GimWt Cleveland who made th e veryPremdent e p i g r a mmatic on the Spot statement that “I will take care of my enemies; but please save me from my friends.” The distin guished Democrat, Mr. Cleveland, recognized one of the gravest dan gers that besets politicians and it was in this connection that he made the famous remark. Lately,:! have been thinking that President Roosevelt is getting into the spot—if, indeed, he is not al ready behind the eight-ball—where he must have some protection from his friends. He faces a condition with Whichxome observers fear he may not be^ble to .deal as success fully as has been his record. The thing that has put Mr. Roose velt in a bad political spot is the outburst of Gov. George H. Earle of Pennsylvania. Governor Earle, it was, who burst forth recently with a declaration that Mr. Roosevelt must run for a third term. There are “no men in the Democratic party or any other party who reach knee- high stature mentally or morally to Franklin D. Roosevelt,” accord ing to Governor Earle's appraisal of the present Executive. Governor Earle’s record in Pennsylvania is that of an avid New Dealer. He has followed the Roosevelt footsteps in every specification and he has maintained a constant gunfire of chatter in support of the President and his policies. The activities of the Pennsylvania governor have been so constant that it led one observer to remark the other day that Governor Earle ap parently wanted to be the first man on the Roosevelt bandwagon for 1940. This, of course, had reference to the priority given in political ap pointments after Mr. Roosevelt be came President to those Democrats who had been supporters of Mr. Roosevelt, before the Chicago con vention that nominated him. ' Biit instead of being flattered by the pronouncement by the agile Pennsylvania governor, I hear from authentic sources that the President was somewhat embarrassed. Cer tainly, a good many of the New Deal wheelhorses are embarrassed because they can see how the Earle declaration may be used to explode various things politically as Mr. Roosevelt goes through his current term. However that , picture may. devel op, the fact remains that no Presi dent ever has served a third term in the United States. It is a prece dent established by George Wash ington and rigidly adhered to. Thus to have “my friend George” de clare Mr. Roosevelt in the market for a third term at this particular time constitutes a bad political er ror. This is true because at the moment there are more’ cries of personal dictatorship being voiced in this country than has happened since congress gave the President all of the extraordinary powers that he holds.• • • There is, however, another side to the story concerning Governor . Earle. There arePlaying many who do not Politiee believe GovernorEarle is stupid, politically. These persons hold the conviction that the Pennsylvania governor knows exactly what he is doing in promoting Mr. Roosevelt for a third term at this time. Their reasoning is to the effect that it will be impossible to renominate and re elect President Roosevelt for a third time, however much the President may want the job again. This same group contends that it would be fa tal to the liberal movement for Mr. Roosevelt to take any steps in this direction although thdre are a good ly number of people who are con vinced that he wants to break this precedent as he has broken many others.In consequence, according to this line of reasoning, Governor Earle is playing his own game of politics. Hoping that the lightning may strike Governor Earle of Pennsylvania, Governor Earle is promoting Frank lin Roosevelt for toe job that Gov ernor Earle wants. It is plain to see that, by urging renomination and re-election of President Roosevelt, G overnor Earle avoids the barbs and bludg eons that would be certain to come his way if he were to admit that he is a candidate thus far in advance of 1949. Someone suggested that toe governor wanted Mr. Roosevelt to be the objective of the brickbats until that happy day when the President would step aside and la bel Governor Earle as the crown prince of the New DeaL • * * However, in talking about 1940, there are basketsful of men who would be m ostm any A re willing to dedicate W itting their lives for four or eight years in the White House that they could perform the great service of carry ing on the principles laid'down by Franklin Roosevelt. It will be a great sacrifice, of course, for most of them to leave their present jobs and run for the presidency! But a good many of them already have let it be known that they are prepared to make this terrific sacrifice in order to serve their country. I do not attempt to enumerate all of them. In any discussion of cur-^- rent politics, however, one cannot overlook such men as Henry Wallace, now secretary of agriculture, or Governor Murphy of Michigan or Paul McNutt, now high com missioner for the United States to the Philippine commonwealth. One must not forget the ambitions of Governor Davey of Ohio, or Senator Barkley of Kentucky—all good New Dealers and true. Then, I think, one ought not .omit reference to Jesse Jones, chairman of the gigan tic Federal Reconstruction Finance corporation, who would leave his vast business interests, if necessary, to serve in the White House. Nor would I be fair to aU of the budding candidates if I omitted reference to John L. Lewis who has been claiming such yeoman service in behalf of the working men through the Committee for Industri al Organization which is violently antagonistic to the American Fed eration of Labor. Mr. Lewis, of course, will deny that he ever in tends to desert labor even for the presidency, but there are a good many people who think that Mr. Lewis has some little thought con cealed in his heart—something of a wish or a hope that he, too, might find himself in the direct path of the political lightning from the Demo cratic national convention in 1940. I do not know now, nor do I think anyone else knows, what the relative strength is among these va rious gentlemen who are exhibiting signs of a willingness to serve the nation as the Democratic candi date.' • • • Most of those who do me the honor of reading these columns undoubtedly have Famoae had varying opin- Love Feaet. - ions as to why President Roose velt held the famous love feast on the island in Chesapeake bay at the end of June. From conversations with Democratic friends in the house of representatives, I am quite convinced that not all Ot those who were invited to the Jefferson Island dub for the meeting with the Presi-. dent were happy over the resUlts. Of course, as everyone knows, the three-day session which the Presi dent, had with Democrat senators and representatives was intended to placate.all of the little ills and disagreements that have arisen. These congressmen with whom I have dis cussed the affair were not so sure that the President accomplished his purpose. But I -am quite convinced that the real purpose Mr. Roosevelt bad ,in holding, a love feast lies much deeper. I believe that he foresees the very difficulties that I mentioned earlier, namely, the dangers of a full list of candidates for the nom ination in 1940. Mr. Roosevelt is too good a politician not to move early as leader of his parly to protect against that sort of thing. By drop ping words in these free conferences and by making suggestions concern ing the general political situation, the President was enabled to ap proach the problem that he foresees without disclosing too much of his hand. Only time will tell how he has succeeded. In the meantime, one may prop erly call attention to the situation that has developed at the capitol, particularly in the senate. Heretofore, I have mentioned several times that strained relations existed between the President and certain leaders in congress. That condition has not improved, to say the least. Indeed, I think it is very much worse.Probably Vice President Gamer and Senator Robinson of Arkansas, and Senator Harrison of Mississippi each will deny that which I am about to say but knowledge of it is so general around the capitol in Washington that a denial will not change my conviction. Unless I have been reading politi cal signs wrongly for 20 years, I am convinced that the strained re lationship between the capitol and the White House now embraces Vice President Gamer and Senators Rob inson and Harrison. The vice presi dent has done remarkable service in behalf of tiie New Deal but I never have believed that he was whole-heartedly in favor of all Roosevelt policies. Senator Robin son has served as majority leader and as such has carried the hod for the President on the floor of the senate day after day, fighting for legislation which the President wanted and generally serving as Mr. Roosevelt’s right hand at the capitol. My own belief is that Sen ator Robinson would have changed many of the administration policies if he could have done so without en dangering toe President’s , leader ship of the party. Much the same can be written about Senator Harrison who has served as the chair man of the senate finance commit tee, a powerful unit in carrying oto New Deal policies.O Western Newspaper VDion.

I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go” — thus hardened Pharaoh his’ heart. The issue was so drawn for one of the great struggles of history. On'one side was a bold and mighty monarch with all the resources of the empire of Egypt, and on the other an unorganized multitude of slaves. No, wait, on the other side was Almighty God! The outcome was never in doubt and through the unspeakable horror of the plagues we come to consider the last of the ten, the death of the first-born, with which is joined the establishment of the Passover. The Passover is of sufficient im portance to justify careful study simply as the perpetual feast of Jews, but to the Christian it is also a most blessed and instructive type of Christ who is, according to Paul, “our passover” (I Cor. 5:7). Let no one who studies or teaches this les son fail to point to “the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). I. A Lamb Slain (v. 21).The sacrifice appears, a gentle, submissive lamh, a male without blemish, which is* separated for the giving of its life that the first-born in Israel might be saved. ' Notice that God’s instructions were explicit, and were to be obeyed if there was to be redemption. There are those in our day who would substitute any arid every other meth od of salvation for God’s revealed plan. They talk about character de velopment, the redemption of th e social order, peace and politics, and forget the Lamb of God. H. A Blood Salvation (w . 22, 23).The act of faith in marking the lintel and the doorposts with the blood, brought salvation to the fam ilies of Israel. Had they waited until they could reason out the philosophy of their promised redemption, or had they shrurik from the blood as their covering, their first-born would have been slain. It was when th^ destroying angel saw the blood that he passed over them. '' Many there are in our time who speak disparagingly of the blood of Jesus Christ, but it is still the only way of redemption. “Without shed ding of blood there is no remission.” Itiill befits an age that is so blase and sophisticated as ours to attempt to cover its dislike for God’s way of redemption by suddenly becom ing too' cultured- and sensitive - to hear of the blood of the Lamb of God shed on Calvary’s tree for our cleansing from sin. III. A Perpetual Memorial (vv. 24-28). God wants his people to remem ber. We, like Israel, are to remem ber the bondage from which we were delivered. Down through ,the ages the Jews have kept the Pass- over. Our Hebrew neighbors do it today. Let us honor them for their obedience to God’s command and at the same time seek to point them to the One who is the true Pass- over, Jesus Christ. IV. Christ Our Passover (I Cor. 5:7).Let us add to the assigned lesson text this New Testament passage which speaks of our Lord Jesus Christ as “our passover . . . sacri ficed for us.” The bondage in Egypt was ter rible in its afflictions and sorrows, but far more serious is the bondage in which men find themselves under sin and the rule of Satan. Surely there is need of divine redemption, and there is none to bring it to us but the Lamb of God. He was the One who without spot or blemish (I Pet. 1:19) was able to offer him self in our behalf that in him we might find “redemption through his blood” (Eph. 1:7, Col. 1:14). “Is the blood upon the house of my life? Is the blood upon the door post of my dwelling place? Have I put up against the divine judgment some hand of self-protection? Ver ily, it will , be swallowed up in the great visitation. In that time noth ing will stand but the blood which God himself has chosen as a token and a memorial. ‘The blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all sin’ ” (Joseph Parker).

GETTING* ACROSS - Celebrating the Opening of a New Bridge In Sydney, Australia. Bridges, or Lack of Them, Have Determined the Course of History Prepared by National Geosrraphic Society, Washington, D. C.— WNU Service. THE completion of the new steel bridge across the Gold en Gate recalls some of the old metal spans, many of which have been in use for two or more centuries. To England, in 1776, fell the honor of erecting the first iron bridge. There Abraham Darby cast a bridge at the Coalbrookdale Iron works and erected it across the Severn. Thomas Telford, a Scdtsman who lived between 1757 and 1834, is known to students of engineering the world over for his achievements in canal, harbor, road, and bridge construction. He was engineer for the parliamentary commissioners for road making and bridge build ing in the highlands of Scotland, un der which organization 1,200 bridges were erected. In England he helped build five bridges over the Severn, and was employed on canals and highways by the Swedish and Polish governments. The Menai suspension bridge in Wales, connecting Carnarvonshire with tiie island of Anglesey, is the best-known monument to his pio neering genius. It was opened in 1826, after seven years of work, and was, at that time, the world’s larg est suspension bridge, being 1,710 feet long,'with a main span of 579 feet.Ancestors of Brooklyn Bridge. Telford was a shepherd’s son. Ap prenticed to a stonemason at fifteen, he studied engineering in his spare time and'published verse. Amanof amazing industry and versatility, Telford invented the pavement which bears his name. Cables spun in place to swing a suspension bridge were tried in 1831 by Vicat, a French engineer, for a bridge across the Rhone. Later Roebling developed this method at Niagara Falls, Cincinnati, and final ly at the Brooklyn bridge. In Europe, as in America, the Nineteenth century saw vast ad vance in iron bridge building, espe cially stimulated by new railways. The Newcastle and Berwick railway alone required HO. Progress in de sign sometimes was costly. A new iron bridge across the Firth of Tay, near Dundee, Scotland, collapsed in a gale. Rushing at night into the open gap a mail train was wrecked, killing some four-score passengers. Today’s bridge excels not only in design, foundations, and methods of erection, but especially in materials. Now iron yields to steel. The Besse mer, and later Siemens-Martin proc esses, gave bridge builders some thing new and stronger—a steel cheaply produced. At any army field day you may see the speedy work of engineers, showing how emergency bridges are built, wrecked, and repaired in war time. Washington Bridge Be'ats George. Homer tells about ppntoon bridges used in war. Darius, Cyrus, Xer xes, Alexander the Great, all employed them. Caesar built his 1,400- foot wooden bridge across the Rhine in ten days. In 1781, it took General Washing ton four days to ferry only 4,000 men across the Hudson when he moved his army south from New York to Virginia. Now, over the George Washington bridge at New York, :a whole army corps—or 97,- 000 men, 23,105 animals, and more than 11,000 gun carriages, trucks, and other vehicles—could be put across in eight hours! Chinese classics relate that a certain king once crossed a river by walking over a bridge formed by the backs of a long line of big, accommodating turtles! Turkish and. Chinese Bridges. In west China and Tibet, to this day, men “coast” across rivers on tightropes, sitting in a seat slung under the rope and sliding along it. To make the underslung seat slide faster the rope is often greased with butter. Dr. Joseph Rock, exploring for the National Geographic society, reports his own use of yak butter on such bridges. “I always tried to find a bridge made of new rope,” says Dr, Rock, “for the rope soon wears out.” In his “Voyage to South Ameri ca," written many decades ago, Don Antonio de Ulloa describes va rious Inca bridges he found there. One of them, the tarabita, is much like the greasy buttered bridge of Tibet. “The tarabita Is only a sin gle rope made of bejuco,” says Ul- loa, “or thongs of ox hide . . . This rope is fastened on each bank to strong posts. On one side is a kind of wheel, or winch, to straight en or slacken the tarabita to the degree required. From the tarabita hangs a leathern hammock capable of holding a man.”Using another rope, the passenger pulls himself back and forth. Ulloa saw mules moved the same way.At Baghdad years ago, when the Turks were still waging their long war against desert tribes, their ar tillery used to lumber noisily across the Tigris on a bridge of boats, on its way to bombard some'Arab mud town that had not paid its taxes. From a safe distance, when Turkish guns opened fire on the mud-walled villages, observers could see dust and timbers fly high into the air. Sometimes the Turks came back across the bridge of boats driving long lines of camels confiscated from delinquent nomads. One qui et, very hot Sunday morning, the Bedouins, shooting and shouting, rushed suddenly over the bridge, and stole their camels back again. At Mosul on the Tigris, hard by old Nineveh and in the shadow of Jonah’s tomb, is another such bridge of boats. Millions of Shiah pilgrims have crossed these sway ing structures, carrying their dried and salted dead relatives and friends to sacred burial grounds around the’desert holy cities of An Najaf and Karbala. Bridge Into the Sea. In Arabic Al Kantarah means “The Bridge.” That old Roman bridge, the Alcantara, over the Tagus in Spain, stands' today as proud and stout as when its huge arches were built, some 1,800 years ago. Look at the mass, the' heavy weight of these ancient bridges! They were built in, and for, one particular place. Today man cuts his steel bridges to order, ships them 5,000 miles, 10,000 miles,'and erects them, by standardized prac tice, wherever they may be needed. The pieces are all shaped, num bered, and packed in a ship’s hold like the pieces of a child’s construc tion toy in a Christmas box; blue prints are the “directions” for set ting up! Rocketing from rain clouds on an air trip around Brazil, passengers come suddenly upon an enormous suspension bridge that seems to run out into the Atlantic ocean. It does. It connects the mainland state of Santa Catharina with its capital, Florianopolis, which stands on an off-shore island. The American Bridge company erected this struc ture, shipping all the parts ready made. No other field in American over seas trade demands more ingenuity than does the bridge man’s calling. Orders come in for new bridges which may be wanted in any land from Alaska to Ecuador. No facts may be at hand about floods, river traffic, health and food conditions, or the nature Of the river bed and banks, whether rock, clay, sand, or rnud, at the spot' where the new bridge is to be built. Since no tools, equipment, or building supplies of any kind may be available there, the American builder must take everything with him. A Twist of Tongues. Problems of language, food, and climate must be met. One Ameri can engineer arrived in Peru on his first visit to Latin America to build a bridge. Anxious to gain a Spanish vocabulary of bridge words, he chose a personal helper from among the workers and prac ticed diligently. Imagine his cha grin when he finally discovered that his bridge, vocabulary could be used only in India, for he had picked a Hindu as a teacher! On another job food-shipments were so delayed that one American foreman was found subsisting on popcorn fried with bananas. =______—- lWay Back WhKi By JEANNE FBED MAC MtJRRAX WASHED CARS FOB A LIVING NECESSITY is the mother of in- Lv vention, they say; and if that is so I think someone should em phasize that “Courage -is the father of opportunity.” So many times, when things look blackest, it seems that only by drawing on re serve strength can,we keep going., Suddenly we find ourselves face to face with opportunity.

Fred MacMurray was born In Kankakee, Ql., m 1908, and spent his boyhood in Beaver Dam, Wis. He lived a normal small town life for an American youngster. In 1925, when he was seventeen, he was awarded the annual American Le gion medal for the student showing the most well-rounded develop ment in scholastic subjects and sports. His mother worked in of fices to support them both, and Fred attended Carroll college in Waukesha, Wis., earning his way by playing the saxophone. A bro ken hip forced his mother to quit work, and Fred left college to try to blow a living out of his saxo phone. -They moved to Hollywood, Calif., for her health and the'boy was glad to get a job washing cars in a garage, to pay her hospital bills. Before he could collect his pay, the garage went bankrupt, and Fred MacMurray faced a discour aging period without a job. He tried to obtain work in the picture studios as a saxophone player, but had no luck. Things looked very black, indeed. Then, he was signed up with a band called the California Collegi ans, which worked its way to New York city and was hired for the play “Three’s a Crowd.” Fred had a small bit which led to a slightly bet ter part in “Roberta.” . A talent scout for Paramount saw him, brought him back to Hollywood, and he was given a contract which led to his success in pictures.* • * POET LAUREATE OF ENGLAND WAS A PORTER IN A SALOON YXTHAT romantic occupation v V could you possibly predict for a boy so adventurous that no: one could control him, so reckless that the aunt who took care of him after his father and mother died inden tured him to a merchant ship at the age of fourteen to curb him? That was John Masefield’s start in life and today he holds the highest hon ors England can give any poet. Born in Ledburn, Herefordshire, England, in 1874, he sailed the seas for three years. Leaving the ship in port at New York city, he took any odd job .he could get. He worked in a bakery and in a livery stable. He was porter in Luke O’Connor’s saloon at the Columbian hotel near Jefferson Market jail. Then he moved to Yonkers, at the north end of New York city, where I he worked in a carpet factory, rising to the magnificent position of “mistake finder” at $8.50 per week. It was at this time, in his early twenties, that Masefield started to write poetry and in 1897 he left for London. His first volume of verses, “Salt Water Ballads,” was' pub lished in 1902 opening with “A Con secration,” in which he announces himself as the champion of “the dust and scum of .the earth.” Books of verse and novels followed, one upon the other, andfjohn Masefield became established ^ s one of Eng land’s greatest poets. So, remember John Vasefield be fore you pass judgment on that neighbor’s boy who is such a holy terror or that youny scamp who works in the saloon gcross the rail road tracks. . ®—WNU r-vs-: ' : r •- ' ■ '■ ' v:. -' ' ' :-u■C om plete P lay Ensdffijbler as easily as-you would a-wrap an!

IN ADVANCE - J I OO SIX MONTHS. )N ADVANCE - $ SO Arnold McKay, o f Maxtoc, wants to know what’s wrong with Roosevelt? Just about everything, if we are to believe what democra tic Senators and Congressmep are saying. Chairman Sumners, democrat, of Texas, who is at the head of the House Judiciary Committee, savs Roosevelt’s court bill faces death in the House. The quicker this bill is killed the better oft the coun try will be. Congress seems to be lambasting Franklin these days. The House last week over rode a veto by Roose velt for the second time in two months, repassing the bill to pro vide low interest rates on loans to farmers. The vote was 260 to 97. represent ing 22 more votes than the two-! birds necessary to override the President. Congressuisn Gus Knscb. 0 f Ohio, has proposed a resolution urging President Roosevelt to ac cept nomination for a third term with Joliu L Lewis as his running mate. The resolution specified that Roosevelt accept only on the provision that he resign Jan. I, 1942, in favor of bis yice-presi dent Lewis, leader of the C. I. O. “ The hell you say.” Senator Burton K. Wheeler, de mocrat, of Montana, immediately after the sudden death of Senator Joe Robinson, democrat of Arkan sas. which occurred last Wednes day. appealed to President Roose velt to abandon the enlargement program ‘lest he appear to fight a* gainst God.” Just how sad the President feels over the death of Robinson, his staunch| supporter, we can’t say. Had the President not insisted on his court plan being carried out before Congress ad journed, Senator Robinson might have been alive today. County, state and FederalofBcers should be above. reproach. No poultryman would think of hiring a chicken thief to watch over his fowls at night, neither would a banker hire a burglar to watch his safe at night. It has been said of old that it takes a thief to catch a thief, but if the right kind of men are put into office, they can catch the thief, the bootlegger and the blockader. We don’t mean that all the criminals can or will be caught, but life can be made mis erable for the majority of those who take special delight in break ing the laws of the land.

Walter Etchfeon Member of Clipper Ship’s Crew As Engineer on Clipper. J. WORTH BACON, In Winston Salem Journal. ‘Tm going to study aeronautical engineering because I believe there's a treat fu ture in that field for the man who applies himself.’' A lanky Davie county Ind was talking. It was in ths spring of 1939. He held in bis hand a diolnma from tbe Masksville High School. Yesterday—seven years later—Walter Etcbison walked through the giant Pan American Qipper UI at Bntwood, Newfoundland, and listened with a trained ear to the hum of its powerful motors. When the Clipper ship landed at Foynes. Ireland; 12 days ago, blazing the trail tor commercial air service between the United States and Europe, it carried as a member of its crew the 'MocksviUe HiCh School graduate who became an aeronautical engineer because he "applied himself.” He returned with the plane to Botwood last week, completing a round trip crossing of the Atlantic. Although the epoch-making flight of “ships that pass in the night" was blazened across the front pages of newspapers throughout the world, only bis intimate friends in the Davie county hamlet of Cana, knew that their own Walter Etchison had made a contribution to man’s knowledge of tbe ocean air lines. Proud of him? Certaibiy. His name was on everybody's mind. When Captain Harold E. Gray, commanding one of tbe big planes which are to shuttle back and forth between England. Canada and the United States, selected Walter Etcbison to make the survey flight from Botwoo l. Newfoundland, to Foynes. ic was not a case of Lady Luck casting her gleamers upon the Tar Heel. It was the reward’for Jiligent study by a boy who caught a vision when he stepped from the high schooi building with a sheepskin under his arm. The hop over the wastes of the Atlantic was for Walter Etchison the mere begin ning of a career wbicb is destined, his friends say, to carry him to the pinnacles of success in the field of aviation. Indeed, it was not the work of Dame Fortune. The Cana youth—he’s only 24 now —overcame almost ur surmountable obstacles to get where he is todnv. His parents, tbe late Mr: and Mrs. J. W. Etchison, were respected citizena of Davie county. Unfortunately they did not have funds with which to send their boy to col lege. Walter knew, however, thit wher.s there was a wili there also was a way. “I want an education and I'm going to get an education.” he said to himself. H e told his story to officials of the Penn School of Aviation. It impressed them. They accepted him as a student. He worked nis way through the institution, com pleting the course in aeronautical engineering and passing his examinations with credit. After periods of service with the Penn Air Lines, he became associated with Pan American at Miami iast September. Promotions came rapidly. In April of this year he was transferred to Port Washington, where he helped establish the air base. Later he served as an engineer on the flights between Mew York and Bermuda. His findings in technological research and his general knowledge of airplane motors were accepted by his company whose officials recognized in him an engineer of capacities and remarkable ability. When the crew selected for the flight to Botwood and sub sequent hop tu Ireland, young Etchison got the first call He obeyed orders. That's wby his name will be written in the pages of history as a pioneer engineer in trans atlantic aviation.■•Walter had no pull.” a relative said yesterday as the story of the ambitious young man was unfolded. "You ought to see him and know him. He's tall has dark hair and hazel eyes and is a very handsome fellow. And he’s such a nice boy. No, I say he bad no pull. He wouldn't accept anything he didn’t deserve. He has pluck. And another thing: He has always employed tinkering with machinery. Why. when he was only 15 years old he could tear a tractor to pieces and put it back together.” ‘•Does he fly an airplane?" the young woman, a cousin of Etchison, was asked. ‘•No, he has never piloted a plane. He wanted to fly. but his mother opposed it and he respected her wishes.” Residents of Cana were waiting yesterday for further news concerning Walter Et ehison, the boy who succeeded because be "applied himself:” [Tho Davie Record takes itshat off and makes its best bow to “Shine" Etchison,as he is familiarly known to his many friends in Mocksville. We have known him since he was “knee high to a toad.” We are proud of him, and are glad to have him as one of our subscribers to The Record. As our readers can testifiy. a man has to do something big and worth while to get double column headlines in this newspaper. 'Shine" will not stop until he gets to the top. We may elect him President of the United States some day—The Editor ] Lena Potts and Wilburn Spillman Health Champions. EIemination health contests were held in the various 4*H Clubs in the county and tbe boys and girls making the highest score met in Mocksville on Tuesday June 29, 1937. and through the courtest of Dr. W.

ITH BANNERS CHAPTER I —I — With a nice sense of dramatic ,values, the heel of Brooke Rey- ' burn’s shoe turned sharply as she |ran across the street. She went ;down on one knee just as the traffic ■light turned green. She had a con fused sense of an automobile bearing down on her, the screech of brakes, of panting cars, of arms lifting her to the sidewalk. “Hurt?” a voice demanded. 1 “I’m all right, really I am. It ■was my silly heel that threw me,” she assured breathlessly, even as she moved her knee experimental ly. It worked. It wasn't broken. “Why wear such fool heels? If you’re not hurt, why did you wince?” The man’s voice was husky; his eyes had a. third-degree intentness which roused a little demon of op position. Brooke retorted crisply:“If you insist upon probing the secrets of my young fife, I think I’ve skinned my knee." She thought the man spoke as she merged in the stream of pass ers-by. She passed the building to which she had been hurrying to keep an appointment when she crossed the street. She wouldn’t go. in yet, she’d better wait till her still thumping heart quieted be fore she entered the offices of Stew art and Stewart, Attorneys at Law, she had too much pride to appear there breathless and shaken. That had been a narrow escape, not only for her, but for the man who had snatched her from the path of that speeding car, and—horrible thought —she hadn’t even said “Thank you!” If only she knew who he was she could write to him, but he might have been a stranger passing through the city whom she never would see again. In that case she •would have to bear always this pricking sense of being ashamed of herself, it would bring her sitting straight up in bed when she thought of it at night. She stopped at a flower shop. Its color and beauty were like a sooth ing hand on her smarting con* science. The air had but a hint of the crispness of early October. Overhead a steeple clock chimed. The sound reminded Brooke of her engagement. She winced as she moved. After a furtive look about, she examined her knee. Skinned. She had known it. Shreds of her silk stocking clung to the raw flesh. She winced as her lowered skirt scraped It. Her unknown rescuer need not fear that she would forget that les son in a hurry, she thought as she entered the office of the junior part ner of Stewart and Stewart. Where was Mr. Jed Stewart? ■ There was an open book on his large flat desk. The title fairly jumped at her. UNDERWOOD ON WILLS Brooke’s heart did a nose-dive. Did that particular book on that particular desk mean that Stewart and Stewart were preparing to con test the will in which she had been named residuary legatee? Silly, she derided herself, wasn’t the firm executor of the estate of Mary Amanda Dane? Hadn’t Mr. Jed Stewart notified her that the will had been allowed, that she had acquired a fortune, hadn’t he asked her to be at his office today at four? It was her late shake-up and this gloomy room which had started her imagination on the rampage. Where it wasn’t knotty pine it was walled with books impressively, if mustily, bound in calf. Prom outside came faint distant noises in the corridor; footsteps thudding, scuffing, springing past; the incessant clang of elevator doors. Inside, “Tick-tock! Tick- tock!” the wall clock marked time for the quick procession of the min utes. And the minutes were marching along. Where was Mr. Stewart? Was it part of legal procedure to keep clients in suspense? The sec retary in the outer office had shown her into this room, had said that she was expected, that the junior part ner was in conference but would be at liberty in a few moments. Eestlessly she crossed to the win- B y Emilie Loring £ BmlUe Loriag, WNU Service. dow. She slipped behind one'of the hangings to shut off the electric light in the room behind her. What a viewl Roofs. Tiers of roofs alive with pigeons. Patches of bright blue broke up the pattern of gray clouds. Weather vanes pointed to the north. Innumerable wires etched gigantic cobwebs against the sky. Skylights shone like sheets of molten brass as they reflected the sun. Her eyes lingered on the roofs. Beneath them business units were pitched together. Honesty and fraud; virtue and vice; ups and downs; efficiency and stupidity; am bition and'lethargy; each unit mov ing in its own orbit and each think ing itself of supreme importance in the complicated pattern of the busi ness world. She had been buffeting her way in it for five years. “Miss Reybum ought to be here, Mark, but I suppose like the ma jority of women she has no idea of the value of a man’s time.” The annoyed comment in the room, behind her snapped Brooke out of her reflections. How like a man to assume that she was at fault. She would make a dramatic entrance, and then— “Glad she is late. I told you, Jed, that I didn’t want to meet her. It was a beau geste for her to offer me half of the money, all of which “I Told Ton, Jed, That I Didn’t Want to Meet Her;” should be mine by inheritance. I’ll make my get-away before she comes. Let her move into Lookout House pronto. I’m the only person in the world with the right to con test Aunt Mary Amanda Dane’s will, and, much as I would like to own the family heirlooms and add her part of the house to mine, I won’t do that. I would have to prove 'undue influence’ or .‘unsound mind,’ wouldn’t I? How could I do that when under oath I would have to acknowledge that my aunt had said she would cut me out of her will? The fact that I didn’t believe she would do it wouldn’t cut any ice with the court. Nothing doing. I’ve had publicity enough over my do mestic casualty to last the rest of my life.” Brooke’s hand dropped from the hanging. That must be Mark Trent’s deep voice tinged with an ger. By “her” did he mean her self? So he thought her offer to share with him merely a beau geste. Should she have refused to take any of the legacy? This was hardly the tactful moment to make her en trance. He was going. As soon a the door closed, she would appear and explain to Mr. Stewart why she had been at the window; meantime she would be strictly honorable and not listen. She stuffed her fin gers into her ears. At the same moment on .the other side of the hangings, Jed Stewart was saying: “I never did understand why Lookout House was cut fa two, Mark.” “It wasn't. Grandfather Trent had two houses built exactly alike, one for his daughter,. Mary Amanda, and one for his son, my father; the Other House, the family called ours. Not satisfied with that, he had them set side by side on a rocky promon tory—he intended them for summer homes only—with doors through the library downstairs and the hall on the second floor and connecting bal conies; he was a glutton for balco nies. Aunt Mary Amanda recently has lived there the year round. I inherited Father’s house, but I haven’t lived there since—well, for three years. It has been closed. I haven’t rented it because I thought it might be unpleasant, for my aunt to have strangers near when she was wheeled into the garden which serves for both places. Now, see what she does to me. She picks up this girl and later, while I’m start ing a branch office in South Amer ica, leaves her her half of the real estate and all her money. Well, I’ll be off. I have a date.” “Don’t go, Mark. I asked Miss Reyburn to come here this after noon to tell her what financial ar rangements have been made for her, but principally to get you two face to face so that we could straighten out this mess about the personal property in the house.” “Mess! Do you call a sound, unbreakable will a mess? Aunt Mary Amanda Dane warned me that if I married Lola she would cut me off with the proverbial shilling; then, when my divorce became neces sary, she was more opposed to it than she had been to the marriage. Can you beat that for inconsistency? I’ve always had a hunch that the French man and wife who have worked for and worked Mary Aman da for years might hypnotize her into leaving all her property to them —I warned her against them and somehow they found out and have hated me ever since—but I didn’t think she would leave it to a com parative stranger. In my opinion, Clotilde and Henri Jacques are no better than a couple of bandits; they’ll bear watching. I don’t trust the Reybum female either, her fine Italian hand crops up all through that will, but I don’t like the idea of a girl living in the same house with them. However, she’d prob ably think I had an axe to grind if I warned her.” “Yellow journals and hectic fic tion to the contrary, lawyers don’t talk about the affairs of a client, even to their best friend, fella.” “Don’t blow up like a pouter pig eon, Jed. Of course I didn’t ex pect you to tell me; equally, of course, I wouldn’t try to upset that will. My aunt’s High Church con victions wouldn’t permit her to ap prove of my separation fjrom a wife who had been sordidly unfaithful. I thought she might soften toward me when Lola married the third time, but evidently not. If sh» wanted to bequeath her house, her money, and her jewels to a girl she had picked up via radio, okay. But why didn’t she tell me about the Reyburn female? Why not ask me to meet her before I went to South America? That’s what makes .me suspicious. The secrecy of their friendship. Was the girl afraid that if I knew I would try to influence my aunt against her? If I was so dense, how do you suppose she got wise to Mary Amanda’s fortune? I understand that she had supper and spent a night with her once a week, the night the. companion-nurse had off. She must have had a strong motive to commute 20 miles after business hours. She’s a fashion ad viser in one of the big, shops, isn't she?” “Yep. Worked up from a model. Mary Amanda Dane *un6d in on the radio one morning just as Brooke Reyburn was giving her fashion talk. She fell in love with her voice, and wrote to the girl ask ing what the well-dressed invalid tied to a wheel chair was wearing. Miss Reybum answered with such sympathetic understanding that your aunt invited her to Lookout House.”(TO BE CONTINUED) B A N N E R S by IUE LORING • A delightful new romantic serial.. . romance, adventure, gaiety!

WHO’S N EW l THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Perfen m WWMl H TWWWTWWW Doctor pf Gold. ! V E f f YORK.—When Secretary ’ Morgenthau calls In a money doctor, he sends for Pr. Jacob Viner of Chicago, currently summoned to Washington to diagnose gold trou bles. Gold, the experts tell me, keeps getting out of bounds, one way or another. Burying a few bil lions of it in Kentucky doe'sn’t seem to help and there’s no knowing how long Uncle Sam can go on borrowing money to buy and impound it. Off stage, financiers and governments are worried about gold, and it Is understood that our Treasury department is shaping a policy. Hence Dr. Viner’s presence in Washing-: ton. j Dr. Viner, of the faculty of the University of Chicago, was chief ad viser to the Treasury in 1934, loaned by the university, and returned to Chicago with the understanding that: he would be standing by if they! needed him badly. Oddly enough,1 this trusted consultant in our vast experiment in managed economy belongs to the back-to-nature school of finance. He has vigorously op posed artificial wage and price stim ulants as aids to inflation and at the depth of depression, when the cry everywhere was for higher wa'ges, he was for lower monetary wages—also prices—but for higher real wages. . i He says all this parallel jockey-, ing of prices and wages comes to nothing, and possibly- something worse; the real wage, determined by its purchasing power, is the only important consideration, and, that, Dr. Viner believes, rises only with the free and normal flow of credits and goods around the world, with low tariffs or no tariffs at all— this being his pet idea. He is def initely placed as a liberal, but he doesn’t think we will get anywhere by strong-arming economic laws. He is Canadian born, forty-five years old, naturalized in 1914. He was graduated at McGill university, took his doctorate at Harvard, and has been teaching, lecturing aiid writing since—at one time adviser to the shipping board and expert for the tariff commission. His emi nence is in the field of scholarship. He is the author of some profound -and, to this department, quite in comprehensible monographs on money and credit. He is visiting professor at the Graduate Institute of International Studies at Geneva, and has a towering reputation in Europe.* • • Communist Bogey Man, P UDGY, bristling little Bela Kun, 1 who once seized and ruled Hun gary, may or may not have been executed in Russia. Reports are meagre and conflicting. A few weeks ago, a wayfarer back from Europe told me Kun was suspected of working with the Trotskyites. But that was just rumor and there is no explanation of what has happened—if anything did. In the main ports of entry jn South America and Europe, they turn in a riot call and burglar alarm ev ery time it is whispered that -the squat, swarthy and mysterious, Bela Kun is in the offings For some reason, international po lice have' put him down as the chief spreader of the communistic vinis, although he has figured in no main events since Admiral Horthy chased him out of the pink and white Ro- cocco palace at Budapest. Bom in Kolozsva, Transylvania, he acquired a law degree at the University of Vienna. He fought in the Hungarian army, was taken prisoner by the Russians, converted to Communism and joined the Red army. He easily topped over the mild KaroIyi and for a brief period ran Hungary. Europe has been steadily pegging him from one coun try to another in a lot of fast triple plays—Portugal to Spain to Brazil, it was last summer. • « • Military Politician.

General Ludwig Beck, German chief of staff, makes a courtesy call on General Marie Gnstave Gamelin, Freneh chief of staff, officially noted as a courtesy call, but promptly inter preted by French newspapers as politically inspired. General Beck, a shrewd political strategist, has been called the head of the German army “brain trust.” He has been an advocate of “totali tarian” war, insisting that “eco nomic and spiritual” forces were as important as the force of arms. He was elevated to his present post October 15, 1935, in an impressive ceremony by which he became the successor of Moltke, Schlieffer and Von Hindenburg.

ROOSEVELT LIKES FAIR “SAMPLE99 m . „< K !_ NEW YORK (Special).—Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the Presi dent, like more than 200,000 others persons from all over the world, has already sampled the New York World’s Fair of 1939 by visiting the exhibit the Fair Corporation maintains for the public on the Fifth Avenue floor of the Empire State building. “I am much interested in this Fair,” said Mrs. Roosevelt, after she had seen the ingeniously illuminated models and animated displays that promise so many wonders for the Nation’s Fair.” “It seems to me that there is opportunity here to do a remarkable piece of work from the edu cational standpoint. The conception of the whole Fair as outlined to me sounds very provocative of thought.” The theme of the Fair is “Building the World of Tomorrow.” B U I L D I N G T E S T S • W A L L S F O R F A f f i • NEW YORK (Special).—Although the the opening date of the New York World’s Fair is still almost two years away, the Fair site already has one building that mystifies all persons who pass that way and one that is of great interest to the contractors and builders of the whole country. The big sign says it is the “test building."The building can be made to do a lot of things just short of a late dance step. It can be made to.twist, heave, buckle, sag or otherwise contort, all at the will of. the Fair’s engineers. It has a sawed-off tower arrangement on one end. Some sections of its walls are daz zling under the sun and are, obviously, encrusted with bits of broken glass. Its four walls, in tact, comprise 43 different set-ups of material, supports and surface coatings. When its day is done it will be made to collapse by the turn of a screw.The unique building is typical of nothing other than itself, say Fair officials, since it is just a set of walls, upon which to try out the merits of various types ol wall coating and stucco treatments. The durability, appearance and structural peculiarities of walls are of great importance to the Fair, since its 300 buildings will require around 15,000,000 square feet of such' enclosures.The interior of this “wall laboratory’- Is given over to the Corporation’s illumi nation engineers and their experimentation with new lighting devices. PACIFIC Fm GOES I TO NEW YORK FAIR NEW YORK (Special; .—‘‘Good old Douglas fir” from the Pacific Northwest will provide the foundations for the most spectacular of wonders at the New York World’s Fair of 1939.This was learned when the Fair Corpo- , ration offices in the Empire State build ing announced the purchase of more 'than $100,000 worth of Sr pilings from the National Pole Treating Company. This particular lot of Sr sticks will be driven into the ash fill of the 1216%-acre !exposition site to guarantee the support of the two unique structures forming the Theme Centre of the “Nation’s Fair.” These are the 200-foot Perisphere, a 'globe seemingly supported on the waters of fountains, and Uie Trylon, a 700-foot triangular needle or beacon and broadcasting tower. Shipments of the.1260 sticks, 95 to 99 feet in length, are taking place this month, after creosote treatment has been accorded them either at the National Pole and Treating Company's plant at Hill- yard, Washington, or at the Minneapolis yards. This is the Fair’s second purchase of fir from Northwest sources. An order for 770 sticks of similar IengQi was filled early this year from Oregon cuttings.

This was learned when Grover Whalen, President of the Fair Corporation, announced the award of a first fencing contract to the Cyclone ?ence Company, whose New York of fices are at 370 Lexington Avenue. Officials of the manufacturing Qrin announced that its Waukegan plant was shipping the fencing and that installa tion would start as soon-e the first steel reached the 1216^-acre exposition site on Flushing Meadow. The contract price of the nine-foot iteel fence installed, complete with gates and concrete footings at ten-foot centres, is derived.from figures submitted by pre-qualified bidders, is $32,812. About three miles of fence are' required to en close the central exhibit area along three sides and down to the Flushing river. Immediate enclosure of the tract was made necessary, Mr. Whalen said, by the ?reat and varied construction work that is already taking place on the site two years in advance of the Fair's opening date.

Government experts at Washing ton. predicted that this year’s har vest will fill the country’s grain bins. They forecast the largest wheat crop in six years, 882,000,000 bushels, and the largest corn crop since 1932, 2,- 571.871.000 bushels. The production of the principal crops will be much greater than in recent drought years, 1933,1934 and 1936,” the federal croD reporting board announced, “and about equal to the average production during tbe 1928-32 period.” Unless unusual weather conditions upset the government figures, tbe crop board said farmers will produce enough this year to meet prospective needs. In figuring needs, the experts add ed, t h e y considered population growth increasing industrial require ments, exports, the small amount of livestock now on farms and short feed supplies now available. The wheat estimate was about 250,000.000 bushels above last year’s production and nearly 20.000,000 bushels above the average for 1928- 32 This wheat is needed, the board said, to increase short reserves and feed livestock until corn is available. A month ago the crip board esti mated winter wheat production at 648.599.000 bushels. This compared with 663,641.000 bushels forecast Friday. , Spring wheat production was esti mated at 218,646,000 bushels, com pared with 107,448,000 bushels last year and the recent five-year average of 241,312,000 bushels. The board said it bad made allow ance for possible damage by rust, the plant disease which recently caused speculative wheat prices to soar.

Litschert. One of tbe most significant politi cal developments of recent month? has been a split in tbe socalled liber al ranks—perhaps it might be more nearly correct to call it the rift be tween the real liberals and the so- call radicals, who are by no means liberal in tbe historic sence of the word This parting of the ways be came publicly noticable when the fight on tbe President’s Supreme Court enlarging bill became acute. A number of statesmen who had con sistently supported many of' the New Deal measures, in Congress and out refused to follow along on the iourt bill. Their public record over a great many years, in most in stances, precluded any attack on them by charging such statesmen with being reactionary. This change in the political atmosphere is noti ceable too in the printed logic ol many of the newspaper and maga zine writers who have always been regarded as liberal but who are now disposed to oppose the court bill and In addition to criticize the handling of the national labor difficulties. A fact which a great many people have overlooked is that real liberal ism means developing tbe individual against the governmental autocracy which is the very essence of such cults as communism and fascism. Tbe real liberal from the time of Jefferson on down to the present has has opposed governmental control of Jefferson on down to the present has opposed governmental control _pf private affairs and of the individual, a process which is now known gen erally as regimentation. Dr, Glenn Frank farmer head of Wisconsin University, whose split with the La- Foliettes has been one of the politi cal events of the year, explained this theory of genuine liberalism in a re cent address when he likened the government to a physician. In part be said: 'The great doctor must never for get that his ultimate purpose is to emancipate^his patients from, de pendence upon him, and to, see- that they are brought back, as quickly as possible, from that dependence on him Which tbe emergency of illness forced upon them and to restore them to their normal .self-reliances as soon as possible.. 1 "Obviously, a doctor who took ad vantage of bis patient’s emergency dependence and deliberately worked to keep him dependent upon'him would be classified by the legitimate doctors as a quack.” Here is an illustration of the dif ference of the purpose of real liberal ism as opposed to blind reaction on the one hand and blind radicalism on the Other. It aim historically must be to give the individual the oppor tunity to help himself, not to make him a ward on dependent of the gov ernment, It was on such theory that the Constitution of the United States, with its checks and balances, was finally formed. And it is on this rock of enlighten ed individualism as opposed to regi mentation that many are splitting a. way from those pseudo liberal cults which preach that tbe way to help humanity is not to permit it -to strengthen its mentality and its mus cles by exercise, but to make man kind even flabbier by teaching us to depend on a "benevolent govern ment.” Thelatest acts , and state ment of a great many liberal leaders indicate that there may be an im portant political realigment 'in the near future. Whether this will re sult in the organization of new par ties or readjustment of the old ones remains to be seen. The latter of the two possibilities at this time seems much the more probable.

Intolerable And Manac- ing. Senator McCarran has been on the “inside” of. the present Administra tion. He is one of the bovs who went down the line for Roosevelt. Away out yonder in the West whence be hails, he was called upon in the last campaign to forsake bis personal duties and lay himself open to the bidding of the High Command of the party to save doubtful political areas for the party. He went whenever told and where- ever ordered. He has been faithful true and loyal to the party and to the President. But Senator McCarran is against the President’s court plan. His con science will not permit him to vote for him. His convictions have driven him into uncompromising opposition to the measure now pending in Con gress. His address in the Senate' against the bill was delivered with earnest but restrained phrase. TheSenator i3 not trying to wound anybody nor poison into the President's cup nor to destroy him nor fatally injure bis party. But in utter sincerity and with ut most good feeling toward tbe Presi dent and out of the depths of a deep conviction. Senator McCarran, Mr. Roosevelt’s friend opposes Mr. Roose velt on this matter. And yet. he has been threatened with political extinction for no great er crime than of voting his conviction of stating his principles and of obey ing his conscience. Intolerable and dangerous!—Char lotte Observer: Lashing The Whip Of Politics. Senator McCarran, speaking a- gainst the Court bill, indicated to his colleagues and a congested gal lery the processes by which tbe Ad ministration has been trying to put tbe pressure on the boys in order to coax them around into favor for this measure. It was Mr. Farley who stuck “the dagger to rrv heart,” this Senator alleges, in having remarked, when he learned of Senator McCarran’s con- scientience would not be quite so sensitive the n< xt time he came a- round for some Federal money for his State. In other words, of cturse, Mr. Farley virtually threatened to with draw Federal funds from his State unless be bent and kowtowed to the will of the Administration in this matter. We will leave to the general pub lic's own mind how much this kind of political pressure lacks of being the equivalent of attempted bribery. It will be cSmmonlv agreed, of course, that it is the rankest sort of coercion and intimidation and of a kind of which any administration should be utterly ashamed.—Char lotte Observer.

When she learns how to make the fire and to keep up the right kind'of heal; bow to kneed the dough and bake all kinds of bread; how to take a tough piece of b.eef and roast it tender; how to catch, kill, clean and cook a chick en in the various ways; how to make alPkinds of preserves, jellies and jam?; how to make all kinds of pies and cakes, and how to dress and cook a bog’3 head, then, having learned these necessary fundamentals, it will be an easy matter for her to follow the recipes in cook books and make every kind of Sunday or society Vnik- naks.” And best of all. a girl thus educated, won’t, be too lazy or too proud to do it, when she learns.* either.

C. WITH BANNERS I SYNOPSIS Brooke Boyburo visits the office of Jed .Stewart, a lawyer, to discuss the terms of 'an estate she has inherited from Mrs. Mary ’Amanda Dane. Unwittingly she overhears Jed talking to Mark Trent, a nephew of M n. Dane who has been disinherited.. Mrs. Dane had lived at Lookout House, a huge structure on the sea, built by her father and divided into two, for her and Mark’s father. Brooke had been a fashion expert, and Mrs. Dane, a "shut-in,” bearing her on the radio, had invited her to call and developed a deep affection for her. CHAPTER I—Continued —2— “It’s a fairy story brought up to eate. Only, for the spell of a itch, substitute the broadcast of a girl's voice. The little schemer got not only the money but Mary Aman da’s jewels, many of which were my grandmother’s.” Brookie dropped her hands from her ears after what seemed hours. Still talking? Perhaps Jed Stewart was talking to the office boy. She heard him say: “Your aunt said in her will, re member, that if she left the jewels to you, you might—well, that Miss Reyburn wouid appreciate them. She relented toward you to the ex tent of naming you legatee should the girl die without children; she was canny enough to prevent her fortune from falling into the hands of her family. You wouldn’t think Brooke Reyburn a schemer if you saw her; you’d know that she had a background of cultivated living. She has a vivid face with a deep dimple at one corner of her lovely mouth; her voice is sweet, spiced with daring. She came out of college to carry her whole dam family when her father died—he was one of the tragic twenty-niners whose in vestments were wiped out—now, I suppose, her brother, who is acting in a stock company, and her sister will chuck their jobs and settle down on her. Her hair is like cop per with the sun on it; her eyes change from brown to amber, and when she smiles at me I feel as cocky as a drum major at the head of a regiment.” “Help! You’re raving, Jed. Per haps you’re thinking of marrying her?” “Marry her yourself, Mark, and keep the fortune in the family.” _ “I! Marry that girl who hypnotized an old woman into leaving her a fortune! You’re crazy. Besides, I am married.” “You haven’t caught your aunt’s ideas on divorce, have you? . You don’t feel tied to that woman who ran away with that French count, do you? You divorced her, didn’t you? You—” “Hold everything! We were talk ing of the Reyburn girl. You have nerve to make the suggestion that I marry her. Men have been put on the spot for less. I wouldn’t marry that schemer if—’’ Brooke flung back the hanging in a passion of rage. “Nobody asked you to!” She cleared her voice of hoarseness, and flamed; “Has it never occurred to you, Mark Trent—” She stopped, her eyes wide with amazement. Was this really the man who had pulled her from in front of that speeding car? After the first flash there was no recognition in his eyes, nor any concern, rather a quiet mock ery, which, she felt, at the first word of hers .would turn into active dis like. ». \“You! You—” Her breath caught in a laugh that was half sob.. “What a mean break for you that you didn’t know who I was, that you didn’t let that car hit me! Then you would have had the money.” She had never seen a face so col orless as Mark Trent’s as his eyes met hers steadily. • “Lucky I didn’t know who you were, wasn’t it? I might have been tempted. Schemers somehow lead charmed lives.” For a split second Brooke thought that fury had paralyzed her tongue. She made two attempts to speak before she protested angrily: . "I’m not a schemer! I suppose it never has occurred’ to you that the ‘Reyburn girl' may have loved Mary Amanda Dane? May have been glad to spend one evening a week in a homey old house away from her whole ‘darn family’ in a crowded city apartment?” Failure of breath alone stopped Brooke’s tirade. There was plenty more she could say, she was apt to be good when she .started. A laugh twitched at her lips. The two men facing her couldn’t have looked more stunned when she made her theatrical entrance had a hold-up man with leveled gun suddenly stepped from behind the hanging. Sb this was Mark Trent. She had been careful never to go to Lookout House when he was there, for fear that he might think she had planned to meet him. She had not realized that he would be so bronzed nor so tall, that his dark eyes were so uncompromising, nor that the set of his mouth and chin could be so indomitable. There was a fiery .strong qualify of life in him which sent prickles of excitement like red- hot slivers shooting through her veins. She knew now that She should, have appeared from behind that hanging at Jed Stewart’s first word. Stewart’s always ruddy face was the color of a fully grown beet. He coughed apologetically. “Sony, Miss Reyburn. Didn’t know you’d come. I’ll slit the throat igf that secretary oi mine for not tell* B y Emilie Loring © CmOie Lnlag. WNU Service. ing me. So you two have met be fore? That’s a coincidence.” “No coincidence about it, Jed. Ap parently we were both on the way to this office to keep an appoint ment with you, when we ‘met’ in the street almost in front of this building.’’ Brooke’s anger flared again at Mark Trent’s cool explanation. She met the terrier brightness of Jed Stewart’s gray-green eyes. She had liked him when she had come to his office in response to the court’s amazing notification that she was residuary legatee under the will of Mary Amanda Dane. The black and white check of his suit accentuated the rotundity of his body. He pulled out his lips as he regarded her with boyish entreaty. She laughed.“The present uncomfortable situ ation only goes to prove, doesn’t it, Mr. Stewart, that listeners never hear any good' of themselves? Though really I wasn’t listening. I stepped behind the hanging to look at the marvelous view, and then—” “You heard Jed say that your hair was like copper with the sun on it, and—” “I stuffed my fingers in my ears for a while, but I heard a lot more, a whole lot more,” Brooke cut in on Mark Trent’s sarcastic reminder, “before I heard you refuse to marry me.” “But that was before I had seen you.” The suavity of his voice brought hot tears of fury to her eyes. Before she could rally a caus tic retort, he picked up his hat. “That’s a bully exit line. I’ll be seeing you, Jed. Hope you’ll enjoy the house and the fortune, Miss Rey- bum. Happy landings!” He laughed. “I’d better say, ‘Safe landings!’ You’re such a reckless person.” “Hi! Fella!” With an impatient jerk, Mark Trent shook off the hand on his sleeve, rammed his soft hat over one eye, and closed the door smartly behind him. Stewart re lieved his feelings in an explosive sigh and pulled forward a chair. “That seems to be that. Sitdowh, Miss Reyburn, while I tell you about the allowance Which will be made you while Mrs. Dane’s estate is being settled.” CHAPTER H From the lighted stage Brooke Reyburn looked into the auditorium- of the department store in which she had worked for four years. She had begun by modeling sports clothes, and because she had loved her work and had given it all the enthusiasm and drive there was in her she had been promoted steadily. The first of this last year she had been made head fashion adviser and had been set to Paris. She had made frequent trips to New York, but never before had she been abroad. - Now she was talk ing for the last time to a hall full of women, many of whom she had come to know by sight. She had given her last radio talk. It was the end of her business career. As she stepped-from the stage, Mme. Celeste, the autocratic head of-the store’s department of clothes for women, stopped her. A hint of emotion warmed the hard blue of her eyes as she caught Brooke’s hands. ‘“Cherie,” her French was slightly denatured by a down-east twang, "I shall lose my right band when you go. Why did that meddlesome old party want to butt in and leave you money? You were on the way to making it here.” “I shall miss you, Mme. Celeste.” Brooke’s voice was nbne' too steady. “Perhaps you won’t have to long. In this here-today-and-gone-tomor- row age, money doesn’t stay in one pocket. Remember, cherie, when ever you want a job, come to me. You’ll be needing one. Au revoir!” “Cheering thought that I may lose the fortune,” Brooke reflected, as she approached her office across the hall. Suddenly the black letters: MISS REYBURN on the ground-glass panel of the door jiggled fantastically. She blinked moisture from her lashes—she hadn’t supposed she would feel choky about leaving. She opened the door, closed it quickly behind her, and backed against it as a man slid to his feet from the comer of her desk. His black hair shone like die coat of a sleek well- brushed pony; his dark eyes' were quizzically amused as they met hers; his teeth were beautifully white; he was correctly turned out in spic and span business clothes. He was likable, but there was some thing missing—rather curious that never before had she felt it.. “How’s tricks?”'he inquired gai ly-"How did you get in here, Jerry Field?” - “Easy as rolling off a log. A taxi, an elevator, a few strides on shanks mare, and here .I am.” “I’ve told you time and again not to come to my office.”“While you were on the job, you said, sweet thing. Pve stayed away and all the time the old wolf jealousy gnawed at my heart. I've imagined you here'entertaining the male heads of departments and let ting them, or stopping them, make love to' you.” ... - ' “You’ve been seeing too many movies. How you dramatize life. You haye been miscast. Instead of being born a rich man’s son and spending your days dabbling in paint and the stock market, you should be on the stage. With' your flair for good ■ theater, you’d be packing them in. Perhaps Sam can get you a chance in his company. Have you seen the play in which he is acting?” she asked with a quick change from lightness to'gravity. “Yes. Your brother’s good.” “But you don’t like the play?” “I can’t hand it much." “Neither can I. It’s a dummy with not a breath of life, not a drop of red blood, just clever epigrams and stuffed-shirt characters. I wish Sam hadn't been cast in it.” “Don’t worry. It won’t last long. What’s the next play on the stock list?” “ 'The Tempest.’ The apartment rings with, ‘Bestir! Bestir! Heigh my hearts! Cheerily, cheerily my hearts!’ ” “You’re not bad yourself, Brooke. Why didn’t you take to acting?” “I ought to be good. We chil dren were raised on dramatics and quotations. It was Father’s habit to orate when he was shaving, and we could spout Shakespeare before we could spell. Besides being a pub lisher, he was a playwright for ama teurs, but Sam is ambitious to write for the professional stage; he has one three-act comedy finished, that is, as finished as a play can be until it is put into rehearsal. That is why he is acting, that he may know all there is to know of stage technic. I’ve had theater enough in my late job. Late! I can’t believe that I’m .through. Come on, Jerry, before I sob on the shoulder of that display figure. I asked the girls not to come to say good-by as if I were going away forever. They gave me a grand farewell party last night, and I have perfume, hosiery, and bags enough to last the rest of my nat ural life. Go ahead. I want to snap out the light myself.” As she stopped on the threshold, Jerry Field caught her arm. “Hey, no looking baCk. Remem ber what happened to Lot's wife. I’d make a hit, wouldn’t I, tugging a pillar of salt round the dance floor.” He shut the door smartly behind them. Brooke blinked and swallowed. "Okay, Jerry, from now on I go straight ahead like an army with banners, but straight ahead doesn’t mean teaing and dancing with you tonight.” When they reached the already darkening street, Jerry Field de manded: “Won’t you go stepping with me now?” “No, thanks. I am going home to plan with the family about moving, and to plot the curve of our domes tic future.” “Look here, Brooke, don’t persist in that silly idea of living in the house Mrs. Dane left you. It’s all right for spring and summer, but what will you do marooned on a rocky point of land almost entirely surrounded by water when the days get short, in a place where the resi dents dig in and nothing ever hap pens? If you were here in the city,” he urged, “I could pick you up in a minute and we could go places. To date you’ve handed out the excuse that you were too busy. People are planning to winter there, are they? That’s an idea. You Won’t lose the fortune if you don’t live in the old place, will you? It wasn’t a condi tion?”They were walking toward the crimson and jade sunset 'against which a huge electric clock seemed colorless. “No. Mrs. Dane merely left a note with her lawyer, in which she wrote that she wished I would Uve there for two years, or at least un til I had cleared the house of her belongings, that she knew that I would not laugh at her treasures, .that I would understand, and that j would care for her parrot, Mr. Mt. cawber. That parrot leaves me cold, Jerry. So you see, I must live in the house for a while—now that the lordly Mark Trent has given permission. I—” “What has Mark Trent to say about it?” Brooke looked up in surprise as they waited-for the traffic light at the comer to change to red and yel low. “Don’t bite. Do you know him, Jerry?” “Sure, I know him,” he replied shortly. (TO BE CONTINUED) Bedouins Hospitable' Besides being one of the pictur esque nomads of the desert, the Bedouin is "most hospitable,” says a writer, A Bedouin host thinks it humiliating to ask his guest his name, his destination, or the time of his departure. It is a recognized law of the desert that if a stranger appears at your tent and your sheep are grazing far away, you are. entitled, in order to follow the ancient law of hospitality, to steal a 'neigh bor’s sheep and to slay it in honor of your .'guest, This is a sort a! borrowing and not literally stealing as the law is observed by all neigh bors. Hospitalify is not limited to food and drink, but includes afford ing the guest protection should his life be threatened. If a guest’s be longings are stolen, 'the host wil| make every effort to hew them W stored. - ' IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI choql Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How God Leads Today.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— A Nation Following God's Leadership. The destinies of the nations are i& the hands of God.* Mighty are the warriors, learned are the advisors, clever are the diplomats, and when they have exercised all their human ingenuity and have only brought; themselves and their nations to; “Wits’ End Comer,” God must lay hold and bring order out of chaos, Happy is that people where rulers! recognize God and seek his guid-t ance. I Israel through the human instru mentality of Moses was ruled by God. He had prepared for them a leader and had prepared the people to follow that leader. Now he brings! them forth out of their bondage. I. “God Led Them” (Exod. 13:1T| 22). It is significant that he did, not lead them by the easy way to Ca-; naan, by the short route through Philistia but rather led them south into the wilderness. . t - How often it seems to us that we could improve on God’s ways. Suf fering, sorrow, affliction, we wouk) shun and would go the quick easy road, where sill is bright and happy! But God’s way is the best way, even though it leads through the wilderness. ] His purpose for Israel was thaf; they might not\be disheartened by the warlike Philistines (v. 17). Thus it was really his loving-kindness that sent them the long way. See I1Tov; 14:12, and Prov. 10:29. i Another and equally important purpose of God was that the un disciplined multitude might in the trials and responsibilities of their journey through the wilderness be prepared to enter the promised land The miraculous pillar of cloud ant fire was God’s constant assurance of his presence with them. Hardly had Israel withdrawn, and the wail over the death of the first-) bom in Egypt ceased when Pharaoh) regretted that he had permitted his) slaves to escape, and set out in pursuit. He represents the world, the flesh, and the Devil in their re lentless efforts to hold back those who would follow the Lord. Making a decision for Christ, and experienc ing his redemptive power does not mean that the-enemy has given up. Temptations, doubts, trials, will come. When you come up out of Egypt do not be surprised if Pharaoh pursues you. The situation could not have been more difficult. Hemmed in by the flower of Egypt’s army, with the Red sea before them—a group of men not trained in warfare—with women and children to care for, and God forgotten in their disbelief and discouragement. Moses, who wasdheir great leader in the hour of triuntph, tastes the bitterness of their hatred and un belief in the hour of trial. A leader of men for God must know that God has called him and have faith in his almighty power, for in the time of crises he will find those whom he leads ready to condemn him. What is the solution? HI. “Stand Still” (w. 13,14). Sublime in his confidence in God, Moses bids the people to cease their petty complaining, to abandon their plans for saving themselves. “Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord” (v. 13). . . Perhaps these lines will be read by some Christian who is fretting and fussing, bearing all the burdens of the universe on his shoulders. Be still, my friend. God is able to care for you, and for all the burdens which you are needlessly trying to bear. TrustingiGod will result in real spiritual progress. IV. “Go Forward” (v. 15). Humanly it was impossible, but “with God all things are possible” (Mark 10:27). When every circum stance says “Stop,” when the coun sel of men is against attempting anything, when human leadership seems to be lacking—just at that hour God may say, “go forward.” U every true Christian who reads these words will respond to the Lord’s command, “Go forward,” hundreds of locked church doors win be opened, new Sunday schools win gather children to hear God’s Word, men and women-wifi be won for Christ. Let us “go forward.” . The God who brought Israel dry- shod through the Red sea is just the same today! Enjoyments and TronbIes I make" the most of my enjoy ments. As for my troubles, I pack them in as little compass as I can for myself and never let them annoy others.—Southey. FaMh Given a man of faith, and the heavenly powers behind him, and you have untold possibilities. Right Kind of Growth AU growth that is not toward God, is growing to decay. ‘DOWN UNDER W J -7' * JflF Bowling on the Green Is One of the Favorite Sports in New Zealand. New Zealand Is Couniry of Scenic Wonders and Many Odd Paradoxes PrerraTed by National GeoCTanWc Society,Washington, D. C.— WNU Service. Olsr DECEMBER 16, 1642, Abel Tasman stood on the deck of the Heemskirk in the South Pacific and gazed out to ward an unknown “great, high, bold land.” At the hands of an unimaginative cartographer the new wavy lines added to the map became New Zealand, aft er the Netherlands Province of Zeeland, to which it bears not the least resemblance. The in appropriateness of its name, however, is not the only para dox of this British dominion of the Far South. Captain James Cook, who first explored the islands a century and a quarter later, took possession of them for his country only to have his claims rejected. Britain still la ter hoisted the Union Jack over the land to prevent French immigrants from settling in the place they cher ished. The country's capital bears the name Wellington, but the Iron DUke stood firm against the annex ation. Many New Zealanders who have never been away from the island’s shores, and whose parents likewise were bom in the Dominion, stiff speak of England as “home.” Here in an area approximateljr the size of-Colorado . are- grouped the snow-mantled peaks of Switzer land, geysers of a Yellowstone, volcanic cones of Java and Japan, land the kikes of Italy; the mineral Springs of Czechoslovakia, fiords of Norway, seacoasts of Maine and California, and waterfalls higher than Yosemite. Largest and Smallest . Pines. Glaciers slip down sharp moun tainsides from vast snow fields into subtropical bush. A short ride through a pass in the southern Alps will take one from impenetrable evergreen forests into barren tus sock-covered lands. New Zealand is the home of the massive kauri pines, -some of which measure 22 feet in diameter and have reached hoary ages that rank them next to the sequoias. It also is the home of the smallest known representative of the pine-tree fam ily. Giant fuchsias grow to th e height of 40 feet; a white buttercup has blooms four inches in diameter; flax is produced from a lily; man has imported’all of the mammals, and many of the native birds can not fly. The Maoris were the first-known colonists of these southern islands. Guided only by the stars and a knowledge of the winds and ocean currents, they boldly piloted their slender double canoes from their homeland of1 “Hawaiki” (probably Tahiti and the Cook islands) to the shores of New Zealand in the Fourteenth century. Legend credits' them with having followed the sailing di rections of the famous Polynesian navigator, Kupe, who is said to have preceded them by 400 years. To the new land they gave the lilting, vowel - studded name, Ao- tea-roa, which is variously trans lated as “The Long White Cloud,” “The Land of Long Daylight,” and “The Long, Bright Land.” Here t-h e y lived, increased, warred against each other, and cul tivated their taro and the more important kumara, or sweet potato, which they brought with them. Then came whalers, missionaries, a n d traders; and colonists arrived with gunpowder, conflicting social stand ards, and the desire to carve out new homes. Principal City Thrives. Protracted Maori wars, contested land claims, the discovery of gold, land booms, and a heavy depression—New Zealand passed through them all before she settled doWn to economic equilibrium. ; With its 221,300 people Auckland today has more than twice, the British population of the whole country in the early 60’s of the last century. As a ShipyOears the end of its 6,000-mile journey from the west coast' of the United States, or toe 1,200-mile span from Aus tralia, it skirts the islands that stud the cobalt waters of Hauraki gulf, enters Waitemata harbor, and finally ties up at the very foot of the thriving city.The early colonists Chose well when they staked out. this harbor- side settlement that once served the country as capital and now is the largest city in New Zealand. Long ago Nature’s forces, not, man’s industry, reigned in this local-: ify. Within a radius of ten miles! there are more than 60 burnt-out- volcanic cones. Stand on the top of Mount Eden, one of the best-J preserved of the craters, WhicJhj rises like an observation post near, the center of the city, and you see; the once-fiery throats bulging orj forming symmetrical cones on the landscape. j From this same vantage point it' is apparent how narrowly Northi island escaped being divided in two.) The isthmus upon which Auckland: sprawls, between the Waitemata) harbor, looking out toward the Paci-, fic, and the Manukau harbor, open ing westward to the Tasman sea,’ is only eight miles wide. River! estuaries and other indentations' narrow it in places to a scant mile.) Veritably, water seems almost to, encircle the red- and green-roofed: maze of the city’s business blocks' and suburban residences. I Abounds In Flowers. I Business hovers close to Queen’s' street, which leads up from the' wharves, and in its.adjacent nar-, row, twisting thoroughfares. But if; the people responsible for the city’s! growth have failed somewhat in, town planning so far as the streets are concerned, they have more than] exonerated themselves in providingj broad park spaces. | The parks seem almost number-, Jess--To them the flush of the sub-; tropics-gives-perpetual - freshness’ and color. Flowers luxuriate all the ! year round. Even the race course; has an avenue of palms and ex-! tensive beds of blooms that would' do justice to a botanical garden. Ctae cannot move about Auckland, long without the new War MemStiali museum claiming attention. It) stands out boldly, a massive white; Grecian building, above the' wide greensward on the heights of the' Domain. Here are housed treasures from many lands, but most inter esting of all is the Comprehensivel collection of Maori objects on dis-. play—the homes, elaborately carved storehouses, war canoes, war im plements, and handicrafts of that powerful native race. Rolling southward in January from Auckland on the ribbon of concrete and asphalt, you pass soon into smiling open country, check-, ered'with fields. Men are haying and herds of sleek cattle and sheep graze on a hundred rolling hills. Agriculture was the task to which the New Zealand colonists first di-’ rected their efforts, but in the pass ing, years they have come to rely, more and more on pastoral enter-! prise. An experimental shipment of frozen meat sent to England in 1882. pointed the way out of a pinching depression that had followed the coffapse of a land boom. Historic Battle Scenes. Today New Zealand butter and. other dairy products have attained; world-wide distribution. Of m ore than 4,300,000 cattle pasturing on' the land, nearly’ half are dairy. 1Stock. More than 28,600,000 sheep also range North and South islands,; making New Zealand the world’s' seventh largest sheep - producing' country and the fifth largest In wool production. . Near the little town of Mercer, was the old frontier between Maori! and colonist. The whole region is " historic ground, for. here in 1863-4 the Maori warriors tested the best mettle of the British troops and long made pioneering a perilous venture. < Today, instead of a battleground,! the district is a peaceful, English-: flavored countryside. Upon a hill now stands the St. Stephens Maori Boys’ college, where Maori youths are being trained for useful pur suits. ‘ Just beyond Hamilton, the largest, provincial town in Auridand prov-! ince, you may run into peat fires' that are smoldering and eating into the black soil in many places. The' continued dry, hot summer weather : causes an outbreak at many - of these destructive fires. i A few miles to the west of the main road that leads to Te Kuitt are the fascinating Waitomo caves.; Interest in the caves hinges on a* tiny- worm—an unusual carnivorous glowworm—scientifically, the "Bole-' tophela luminosa.

For thirty years the present editor and owner has ■worked unceasingly to issue a paper that would help the towu. county and state, and a paper that any member of the family could read. We have had many ups and downs, mostly downs, since Jn'.v, 1907, when we arrived in Mocksyille and took ovei The Record. We have made many mistakes, but* we hope that they were offset to some ex tent, at least, by the good' things the paper has helped to accomplish. Many changes have taken place since we have been a citizen of Mocksville The town has grown from a country village to a live town of at least 2,coo population, with up-to-date stores, electric lighting, modern theatre, water and sewerage, fine school buildings churches and homes, together with hard-surface streets and sidewalks, garages, hotels and many other im provements When we began the publication of Tbe Record there wasn’t a foot of concrete road in the county, not a brick school house, no automobiles.electric lights and but a limited telephone service It was a two days journey to Wins ton-Salem and return, and when the creeks and rivers were high it sometimes took a week to make this journey. Most of the changes during the past 30 years have been for the best. We cannot close this article without thanking all our ad vertisers. our subscribers and cor respondents for their support and co operation in helping us to issue this paper for '30 years without ■ missing an issue. We shall strive to make fewer mistakes in the fu ture than we have in the past. Your help and co-operation is asked. We again thank you. A death blow was struck Frank Iin Roosevelt last week wheu he had to abandon the junking of the Supreme Court. No president is bigT or powerful enough to name a majority of this high tribunal The Goveroment, after spending more than $4,000,000 searching for Capt. F. I. Noonan and his woman companion, who were trying to fly around the world, gave up the search last week. Capt; Noonan and his flying companion disap- pered somewhere in the South Pacific on July 2nd. And still another friend of Pre sident Roosevelt has deserted him on his court reform program. This time it is Governor Herbert Leh man. of New York, the closest friend that Roosevelt had—a man who had stood by the President through fair weather and foul—who ran for GovernorofNew York state last year to save that state for the president. It would seem that Roosevelt could see the handwrit ing on the wall, but none are so blind as they who will not see. . Two Railroaders Retire Capt. M. - J.

This covered plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Inland, the fourth of the steel independents, announced that it was operating with its nor mal force of 13,000 in Indiana since it and the Steel Workers’ Organiz ing - Committee signed a compact with the state labor commission. Steel production in the Youngstown, Ohio, area, one of the principal scenes of strike violence, climbed to 76 per cent of capacity, 3 per centage points above the operating figure before the start of the strike. Strike Riot Kills Two r'V NE striker and one policeman were killed and twenty men were injured at an aluminum plant in Alcoa, Tenn., when rioting broke out as 3,000 strikers started a back- to-work movement. The plant, be longing to the Aluminum Company of America, had been closed since May 18, when the strike was called by the Aluminum Workers of Amer ica, an affiliate of the American Fed eration of Labor. Difference In wages paid at Alcoa and at the com pany’s plant in New Kensington, Pa., was the issue in the strike. State troops were on hand, but Adjt.-Gen. R. O.

LEWIS sought to expand d the scope of his Committee for Industrial Organization by invading- the maritime industry. With Harry Bridges, west coast longshoremen’s leader, he sought to unify scattered maritime unions in one big industrial organization dominated by the C. I. O. The American Federation of La bor already has two strong unions in the maritime field, so this action brings Lewis into another point of friction with William Green’s or ganization. The nation has 250,000 marine and coastal workers. 'Compromise' Takes Bow OENATOR M. M. LOGAN, Dem- *■* ocrat, of Kentucky, presented the "compromise” version of the Pres ident’s Supreme court bill to the senate, apparently with the blessings of Majority L eader . Joseph T. Robinson and the chief execu tive. In form an amendment to and substitute for the old Ashurst administra tion bill, ti\e new draft authorizes ap pointment of one new justice to th e court each year for SemRobinson every justice remaining on the court after reaching the age of seventy- five years. Under its provisions the President would be permitted to name one new justice this year (besides filling the vacancy Irft by the retirement of Justice Willis V an Devanter) and assure him of at least one new appointment to the court in each remaining year of his present term of office. All of the ap pointments would hinge on the de cision of justices seventy-five or older on retirement. The opposition immediately charged that the new bill was as offensive as the old one. Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat,' Montana, said: "The compromise is not going to get through. The new bill is just as objectionable as the old, because it seeks to pack the Supreme court just like the original bill did.” Sen. Edward R. Burke, Democrat, Neb raska, said the 43 senators would vote against any kind of measure that would increase the Supreme court. Some of the other provisions of the new bill were: Authority for 20 additional ap pointments to lower courts in the'event that judges over seventy fail to retire. The old bill would have permitted 50 new appointments altogether. Speedy intervention , by the gov ernment in cases involving constitutionality of federal laws, and speedy appeal to the Supreme court. Rebels Fall from Madrid CPANISH rebel forces wbich took Bilbao after the city’s first suc cessful siege are still finding Madrid a tough nut to crack. In a two-day battle the .loyalist forces broke through the siege lines about the city, captured the villages of Villa- neuva de la Canada and Brunette, and threatened to cut the besieging rebels off from their main forces. So nearly successful was the at tempt to rout the rebel forces that, the latter were forced to admit new troops might have to be withdrawn Amelia: Lost in the Pacific. from other fronts, delaying tempo-, rarily the drive on Santander, next: rebel objective on the Biscayan' coast. Meanwhile, the fall .of Bilbao was expected to add 150,000 refugees to the constant stream pouring into' loyalist Valencia. Although some of the refugees remained in France, where they were first taken, the vast majority preferred to go to Catalo nia, where the government takes care of them at its own expense. Nearly 1,500,000 have arrived in Va lencia since the start of the war and 300,000 have remained there. Bingham’s 4th of July O OBERT WORTH BINGHAM, •Tv United States ambassador to London, became' the third promi nent American to bring down the fury of Nazi Germany’s officialdom and press when, In an Independence day speech before the American society in that city, he declared Un de Sam had been forced by the dic tator countries to join Britain in an armament race. Mayor LaGuardia of New York and Cardinal Munde lein of Chicago had been other re cent Nazi targets. The ambassador was quoted as saying: "There must be some (of the dictatorships) who realize that they have imposed upon the British commonwealth and the United States an armaments race. “We did everything in our power to avert it, but it is a race, and the British and ourselves must inevita bly win. I admit the strongest arguments that can be made for dic tatorships—they offer a better meth od of preparing for war. But I am sure that democracies provide a better way to finish a war.” The Nazis charged that the am bassador had insulted Germany and Italy with his “arrogance and ig norance.” Voelkischer Beobachter, the official newspaper, added: “If there is any talk of defense, then we should speak of defense against the arrogant and teacher-like atti tude of the defenders of western ideals.” Navy Hunts for Amelia CtOUR ships of the United States T navy, with attendant airplanes; two ships of the Japanese navy, and a British freighter scoured the vast , wastes of toe South Pacific in an effort to find and rescue Amelia Earhart Putnam, America’s No. I woman flyer, and her navi gator, Fred Noonan. The pair had been forced down before complet ing the 2,570-mile hop from New Guinea to Howland island, a “leg” of their ’round-the-world flight. Signals received from the hapless flyers were so weak that it was impossible to tell whether they were afloat at sea or marooned on some tiny island, and as the days passed it became doubtful, that many, of the radio messages which served as clues for the searchers were from the two at all. Storms over the area of the sea in which they w ere believed lost hampered searchers and minimized possibili ties of a rescue. So alarmed was the world at the loss of Amelia and her companion, the United States even sent out the giant aircraft carrier Lexington with 98 planes aboard, which, it was said, could explore an area of 36,000 square miles in five .or six hours.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— Out in the desert country I met kindly, hospitable folk bravely making the best of things on remote, small home steads. OnJittIe far-away ranches, on res ervation trading posts, they are edu cating Uieir children by resolute self-sac rifice; keeping in touch with the world through rad io , through books and m agazines and newspapers; and al most invariably content with their lives and proud of their struggles and living comfortably — yes, and happily—within their means, how ever meager. Then I come back to crowded cities where wealth seems only to make the inmates dissatisfied be cause somebody with greater wealth puts on a gaudier show of ostenta tion and extravagance. And I the man who feverishly is striving alter riches so that when he breaks down he may afford the most ex pensive nerve specialist. And the spoUed woman who was bom with a silver spoon in her mouth, but judging by her expression the spoon must have been full of castor oil— and the flavor lasts. And the poor little rich children who have every; thing now and so will have nothing —except maybe dollars—when they grow up. Curious, isn’t it, that so little buys such a lot for some people and such a lot buys so little for the others? • • * The Return of Prosperity. ICAN1T help gloating over what appeared in this space when I predicted that the temperamental and fickle bird of passage known as prosperity was winging its way back.' Because the Better Business bureau reports that sellers of no good stocks are showing increased activity. Moreover, I hear that for the first time in years practically all the veteran bunco-steers are off relief. The lean times when the locusts of depression gnawed away our sub stance must indeed be over if the customers begin to nibble more free ly at the same dependable old baits. So, as he thumbs his copy of the sucker list against the morrow’s campaign, I seem to hear Mr. Henry J. Slickguy (late of Leavenworth but now opening offices in the Wall street district) murmuring to him self:“Happy days are here again! Drouth may kill the com, Rust rots the wheat Boll weevils destroy the cotton. But, thanks be, there’s one crop in America which never fails!” Have you a little gold brick in your home, dear reader? Well, don’t worry, nobody’s going to be slight ed. Ere long you’ll get your chance to invest in one. * • * Making Mental Slips. THE most incredible thing has come to pass. Here I go along, year after year, building up a rep utation for invariably being right, the same as George Bernard Shaw and Mme. Secretary Perkins. Then —bango!—I make one little slip and the trusting reader is shocked from pit to dome. The other day I suggested taxing salaries of governmental em ployees. Now from all sides I’m told federal employees are subject to income taxes; only the vast majority . of them, and probably the hardest-worked ones, draw such small wages that they owe Uncle Sam nothing when March 15 rolls, around. So far. as I recall, this is the sec ond time in my life I’ve been wrong. I can’t cite what the other instance was—some very trifling matter, no doubt—but it must have occurred because I remember the nation-wide excitement which ensued, with peo ple going around in a daze mutter ing: “Can it be possible?" I now admit that early error and the recent one, too,-and humbly beg pardon of my devoted public—all eight of them. It’ll never happen again. * * *Conquered Champions.

But if I were Mr. Braddock—game though he be —I think Ild pattern my reply on the example of tht gentleman who was knocked galley-west by a hit- and-run motorist. . As the dazed pedestrian was try ing feebly to ascertain whether he was all in one piece, a kind-hearted citizen hurried up. “Have an accident?” he inquired, brightly. “No, thank>ou,” said the victim; “just had one.”IRVIN S. COBB. ©—WNU Service. Washington Digest Js Natio na I Topics^ Interpreted By W ILLIAM BRUCKART' J g M P NATIONAL PRESS B -.D G " WASHING'ON. D C Washington.—It appears that an other session of congress will go by _ ,. without the con-Sptnam g gress and the ad- Will Co On „ ministration doing anything serious In the way of cutting down govern ment expenses. There is nothing that can be done now toward carry ing out the expressions made by President Roosevelt in his message last January when he told congress that he wanted to cut federal ex penses and take important steps toward balancing the federal budget. The reason that federal spending is due to go on for another year at the extraordinary rate of the last four or five years is because a majority in congress, under the lash of the White House, refused to require states and local governments to bear a percentage of the relief costs. In other words, federal spending will go on because congress and the President have lacked the courage to start taking the federal govern ment out of the relief work and gradually restore it to the care of those folks in the various communi ties who know where relief is need ed. There had been a very determined movement in congress to compel the states to share in the gigantic relief burden. It tobk on various forms and had various sponsors. But the end and aim of all of them was, to divide the cost in equitable fash ion. The proposal that had the best chance of getting through was one offered by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader in the senate. He offered an amend ment to the relief bill which would have required the states to con tribute one-fourth of the amount ex pended in each state, with the federal Treasury supplying the remain der. When that amount was offered, it was something in the nature of a compromise between proposals that the states should bear 40 per cent and that they should bear none of the cost. With the White House op erating through the President’s lob byist, Charles West, and Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the adminis tration was able to force defeat of the Robinson amendment. Now, Senator Barklqr is assist ant Democratic leader of the sen ate and so we had the spectacle of one of Mr. Roosevelt’s spokesmen being on one side and a second one on the other side. The one who was spurred on by the President was victorious.I am not sure that the Robinson proposal woifid have resulted in an appreciable reduction in the federal outlay for relief. Of course, it would have cut the total som.ewhat but not by the full one-fourth that ap peared on its face. It was valuable as a piece of legislation, however, because it would have required the states again to assume some of the burden which only a few years ago they carried in its entirety.. It was a principle for which Senator Rob-, inson fought and it was a principle) upon which he was defeated be cause Harry Hopkins, relief admin istrator, objected and still objects to returning any part of the relief obligation to the local authorities.. I suspect that Senator Robinson’s activities on the relief proposition will not help his relations with the White House but I think it ought to be said that Senator Robinson demonstrated again his capacity as a statesman. He demonstrated as well that he recognizes the dan gers confronting the United States Treasury which at the end of the current fiscal year—June 30—had an outstanding debt in excess of $36,000,000,000. From among some of the senators I gained the impression that there is considerable worry about the gov ernment’s spending and they wanted to see the Robinson amendment pre vail because they recpgnized it as a move that would eventually bring federal government spending within control. Also, senators of that school of thought Ihaintainedr that if states' were called upon to bear some of the burden of relief, it would bring home forcefully the fact mat all of this spending must sometime be made up out of taxes. People do not like to pay taxes and they cannot be blamed for their attitude. Unless they realize, however, that borr'owied money is being spent and they and their children and chil dren’s children ere to be taxed to pay off the loans, they wifi not be In favor of reducing national, state or local expenses.The debate in the senate on the proposition to send some of the re- lief burden back toCity Mayors the states showed A r t A etiot rather plainly that most of the sena tors are disgusted with talk that hunger and distress will haunt, the land if states are required again to take over some of this charity work. The impression I gained from this debate was that a powerful lobby of mayirs from some of the larg- ’ er cities was turning- on all of the steam it could muster. Mayor La- Guardia of New York was the bold est of these as he has been bold constantty in forcing the federal goyemment to pay toe relief rolls in New York city and save his own New York city budget. Another phase of the debate should be noticed. It was the re luctance of congress to 'reassume its right to direct and control the spending of federal funds. The above-mentioned Mr. Hopkins wants to be free and unfettered in his spending and those policies. were the ones he recommended to Mr. Roosevelt. Consequently, with ad ministration pressure on many sen ators, the Hopkins idea prevailed and so for another year congress must sit back and watch the Hop kins organization spend money vir tually any way it desires. > I think there ought to be a lesson in this whole situation upon which the country can look back rather regretfully. The experience gained by making lump sum ap propriations certainly shows how a bad habit can be contracted and how difficult it is to cure that habit. Seldom in history-until this depres sion would congress ever vote lump sum appropriations for executive departments to spend as they will. Having contracted the habit, how ever, it is going to be difficult here after to deny any President lump stun appropriations, provided only that he has a substantial majority in the house and senate. No doubt many persons will won der why this sort of thing consti tutes an important issue. The an swer is simple. Governments are wasteful and the federal govern ment, being larger than state or lo cal governments, is just that much more wasteful and unable to handle money carefully. If states and lo cal communities have to bear ex penses of this sort out of their own treasuries, they see to it that only those entitled to relief obtain it. Un happily, the national relief system is caring for thousands upon thou sands of men who could get jobs and who could support their fami lies but who. will not do so as long as money-is given them from Wash ington. Since the national debt is at the highest point in the history of our nation, there is a growing convic tion at the Capitol that a halt must be called sometime. - The present trouble is that there are not yet enough courageous representatives and senators to force a stoppage in such spending.• • • While the steel strike blazed forth with battle after battle, blood was _ » . shed and propertyBaker Takes was damaged, lit- Labor Job tie attention was paid to a develop ment here in the nation’s capital—in the government itself. • While all of the sensational things were happening on the steel front, one Jacob Baker was resigning bis job as assistant relief administrator and was accepting the job of chief of a new labor unit to be associated with John L. Lewis and his Com mittee for Industrial Organization. Mr. Baker’s unit is to be made up of government workers themselves; a labor union in the government of the United States. For some years, there have been minor labor units among govern ment employees. They were affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Generally speaking, they were impotent and did little more than create a dozen jobs for the offi cials of the organization. Now, however, the government workers are to have a “militant, fighting labor union which will get things done for them.” Such at least is the press agent word that has been spread under Mr. Baker’s direction. . Mr. Baker is familiar with the problems of government service. Undoubtedly he recognizes that he cannot use the same methods in organizing government workers that are used . in private industry. If, for example, he would attempt a strike, I dhink probably it would be the end of labor organizations in the government of the “militant, fighting” type. The advance notices concerning Mr. Baker’s plans seem to indicate that he is seeking members beloW the grades of official rank. In other words, if the Baker plans are car ried out, the new union will be made up of the so-called rank and file. This would seem to he an advantageous arrangement because-it elim inates some of the dangers that al ways develop where' bureaucrats and division heads assume too much authority. There is a danger also in confin ing the organization to the rank and file because among the less experienced labor leaders there is always a tendency "to flare up.” Thai is to say, ladting-experience they may., say things or do things which are regrettable or which they have cause to regret later on. The . vio lence, that has shown its ugly head in the steel strike proves this point So Mr. Baker has his job cut out Ibi him in this' direction.O Wtitem Newipapc- Valon By JEANNE ARTIST WAS A LAWYER’S \ AiPPRENTICE U EN R I MATISSE, one of the * * greatest of modern French art ists, whose works now sell for.bun- 1 dredsof thousands of francs, might have been a commonplace lawyer bad not Fate stepped in when she did. He was born in<a small town, in Picardy in 1869. son of a wheat dealer. His childhood was unevent ful and be became a lawyer’s ap prentice. Then, Fate came along with an attack of appendicitis which left .him an invalid for . many months. In order to keep occupied while convalescing, he took up painting; and it proved so fascinat ing that he never opened another law book. Matisse’s first paintings, in the early 1900s, brought but. a few francs. He, and the group with which be associated himself, all fa mous now, were called “the wild beasts” because of their mad style. Their paintings outraged conserva tives of the art world. Matisse was accused of willful eccentricity, senseless disregard of nature, and a deliberate intent to advertise him self. His paintings were refused exhibition space in many galleries, but slowly be built recognition for his work. In 1927. his “Fruits and Flowers” won first prize in the Car negie International exhibition. In 1928, the Luxembourg galleries bid 300,000 francs for his picture, “Side board,” but the man who once could hardly buy enough bread with the few francs his work brought could now affora to donate the picture to them, accepting only one franc in order to make the transaction legal. • • • SINGER WAS A BISCUIT PACKER I TSOALLY we are inclined to give too much credit to chance or Iuci in analyzing the success of prominent people, forgettiu that without th: talent to toke advantage of an unexpected opportunity they could not have risen. Helen Mor gan’s sudden rise to fame is an example. ' Born in Danville. Illinois, her fa ther died when she was very young, leaving Helen Morgan and her mother practically penniless. When she was five year: old, paint thrown by another child partially blinded Her. and she had to spend a full yeai in a dark room. She sang to herself to pass the long dark hours and later she sang in a church choir in Chicago. There, she worked as a manicurist, a waitress, a comp tometer operator, and a model. She was a ribbon clerk at Marshall Field’s department store and a bis cuit nacker for the National Biscuit m company. None of her jobs Iastea long, for her eyes were always on the stage. She sang occasionally in cabarets and finally got a job through Ziegfeld in the chorus of 'Sally.’' Dissatisfied, she quit, and Billy Rore hired her to sing in his Backstage club. That was Helen Morgan’s lucky cuance. The Backstage club was so small that she was forced to sit on the piano! Most of us would con sider it a disadvantage, and per haps she did, too. But the public was interested; she became a sen sation, and speedily rose to fame. Musical comedies and motion pic tures starred her, and soon she was singing- in a night club named for her, at a salary of $1,500 per week. Today she is known the world: over Perhaps, if Helen Morgan had not had to sit on the piano in the Bsttk- stage dub, she would never have risen to stardom. Perhaps, .sht would have sung comparatively un known for a-, couple of years, and gone back 'to manicuring or biscuit packing. But, remember, she had something worth delivering when she sat on tha. piano. iO—VktfU Service. THE DAVlE RECORD,MOCKSVILLE, N.

It’s the Hidden Tax Collector—He Respects Not Even the Real Necessities of Life, and How He Wallops Your Budget! By W HiLIAM C . U T L E T DO YOU make $150 a month? If you do, you’ll be inter ested—and perhaps a little sur prised—to Iearny that the tax collector picks your pocket to the tune of one-eighth of your income. He sneaks enough from the family wallet in two years to buy a new car. Yes, he picks your pocket. For this “take”—which amounts to 12.7 cents out of every dollar—repre sents indirect, or “hidden,” taxes. They’re not like your income tax or personal property tax or a state retail sales tax, for you rarely know when you have to “shell out” for them. They’re concealed in the price of the goods and services you buy, even the bare necessities of life such as bread and shoes. “Death and taxes are inevitable”—and all too often invisible. These are only a few of many illuminating revelations to come out of a survey just completed by the Family Economics bureau of the Northwestern National Life In surance company, of Minneapolis. The study was started in Novem ber, 1935. Records of 206 concerns —public utilities, insurance compa nies, manufacturers, jobbers and retailers—were investigated “in an effort to measure as accurately as possible the proportion of prices paid by the consumer for which taxes—federal, state and local —are responsible.” AU levies which would not nor mally be included in the • cost of goods and services sold were omit ted in the calculations which fol lowed from the original producer to the retaUer. The principal taxes entering into the picture then were: Farm and urban realty taxes, per sonal property and general prop erty taxes of business concerns, ex- chise taxes, licenses, fees and fran chises, moneys and credits taxes, gasoline and oil taxes on motor truck deliveries, import duties and the tax element in freight costs in volved in the various steps of dis tribution. Taxes Are Passed On. To understand the figures it is necessary to understand how some of these indirect taxes work. “In the case of a retailer who owns the buUding which houses his store,” says the report, “real estate taxes are shown on bis books as an item of overhead, and their participa tion in the ‘makeup’ which he must add to his cost ,prices can be measured with considerable cer tainty. “However, if he rents his store buUding, the taxes on the building are necessarUy contained in the rental paid, and are just as surely a portion of his overhead expense, even though concealed in the entry ‘rent.’ “In the wholesale price which the retailer pays for his merchandise is necessarUy contained an overhead element consisting of the real estate taxes on the buUding occupied by the wholesaler, and just as neces sarUy, taxes on the factory which produced the goods contribute a por tion of the price charged the jobber by the manufacturer. “This study,” the report contin ued, “has undertaken to include in the figures finaUy attained the_ prin cipal elements affecting ultimate prices charged, whether actually listed as ‘taxes’ on the books of the business, or contained as a por tion of some other entry.” Social security taxes were not con sidered, “because they are in a sense deposits for future withdraw al.” Gasoline taxes were computed, because gasoline And oU are sub ject to local taxes in aU 48 states and the District of Columbia, in addition to the federal levy. Tax-Grabber Is Killjoy. The researchers estimated that the average worker’s famUy with an income of $150 a month spends $43.50 for food; of this 7.1 per cent, or $3.09, goes to the hidden tax col lector. Of the $30 spent for shelter, hidden taxes take more than a quarter, $7.59. They account lor 8 per cent of the $16 clothing bUl, or $1.28. Fuel and light cost $11, but 9.5 per cent of this, or $1.05, rep resents indirect taxes. The tax-grabber really cuts into the family’s enjoyment of life. The cost of an average used car, includ ing license, and gas and oil sales tax, is $14.50 a month; hidden taxes get 20.1 per cent—$2.91. And the $3.00 the $150-a-month family can set aside, for recreation includes 30 cents for the tax-grabber, who seldom shows his face. Insurance bears a lighter tax load. Of the $5.00 spent monthly for that protection, only 2.6 per cent, or 13 cents, falls into the, hidden tax barrel. Sundries and mis cellaneous items—toothpaste, jewel-, ry, tobacco, etc.—which cost $27 a month a r e burdened with taxes amounting to 10.2 per cent, or $2.75. The hidden taxes which eat away at an $80 monthly income are slight ly less in proportion,' since it is assumed that such an income does not ordinarily permit the owner ship or.operation of an automobile. $116.04 Taxes on $200 Income. There is a slight difference in the proportion of hidden taxes to the spending of a family ,with an in come of $200 a month. This is again accounted for by the automobile, as shown:Cost % of Taxes Per Foand Tax In Montlk In Cost Dollars Food ...............$48.00Shelter .............38.00Clothing ...........22.00 Fuel and Ught . 14.00 Transportation (Auto bought new) . 20.00 Recreation .... 6.00Savings ........ 5.00Insurance ..... 12.00 Sundries & Miscellaneous .. 35.00 21.4*10.0 10.3 $3.419.611.761.33 4.23 .31 3.57 24.87$293.44Total .............$200.00 Av.12.4Annualhr ..$2,400.00 12.4 •Also includes license, and gas and oil sales taxes. ••Tax ratio to total time and demand deposits in banks studied was .2 per cent. However, the effect of this tax would obviously not be to increase the savings depositor’s outlay, but could only affect him by reducing the interest yield on his savings. The moneys and credits taxes levied by many states are jkaid directly by depositors, with wide variation in rates and in minimum exemptions. “After arriving at general tax ratios for the various lines of goods and products represented by the concerns studied,” says the report, “further studies were made of in- - Wbat the salesman doesn’t always tell you: The cost of a used car and its operation include hidden taxes amounting to 20.1 per cent. If it were a new car, the figure would be 21.4 per cent. were it not for the inevitable taxes. The great proportion of indirect taxes to residential rental costs was investigated with the aid of real estate companies in 48 cities; rec ords on representative local prop erties were taken at random from their files. A total of 7,964 single and multiple family dwelling units were covered by the final averages. These re vealed that taxes represented 28 per cent of the current rental rate of the one-family dwellings studied; 19.2 per cent of the rental rates of the duplexes and 13.6 per cent of the rental rates of the apartments. “The notably lower ratio of taxes to apartment dwellings is due,” says the report, “first to the fact that a portion of the apartment rental dol lar represents fuel, water, rent, jan itor service, etc.; second floor space is more intensively occupied in apartment buildings, and third, apartment rental rates have in gen eral recovered somewhat faster than house rental, rates. In many com munities, however, tax rates are mounting approximately as fast as rental rates are recovering.” Average Motorist Taxed $48. The automobile today has passed the stage where it may be classified as altogether a luxury. But it’s a free luxury for the tax-grabber; in fact it’s soft picking for him. Mo torists paid an average of $48 apiece in taxes, direct and indirect, con tributing a total of $1,349,000,000 or 10M per cent of the nation’s entire- tax revenues during the fiscal year ended Jvrne 30, 1937, according to the study. In a detailed advance estimate, the report sets total federal, state and local tax collections at $12,872,- 000,000 for the fiscal year just ended. General property taxes contribute $4,718,000,000, and income taxes—, federal, state, and local—$2,629,- 000,000 according to the study, with the owners of twenty-eight million motor vehicles ranking a strong' third as a source of revenue. Gasoline and oil taxes, totaling $884,000,000, make up the bulk of motorists’ current tax contribution. Combined federal and state taxes on gasoline average slightly over five cents per gallon, for the coun try as a whole. The purchaser of a new low-priced car pays $101 in taxes, direct and indirect, during his first year of ownership, according to the study. He pays approximately $64' in taxes as a part of the original pur chase price, the study shows. This figure includes $3.30 estimated tax content in the freight costs, $14.41 in excise taxes, and numerous di rect and indirect taxes which ac cumulate in material and prpduc- tion costs to an estimated amount of $46.10. Computations Conservative. H the motorist operates his car 7,200 miles a season, his gasoline and oil sales taxes will total, ap proximately $23; with an average cost for his new car license of $14.50, a motorist thus contributes some $101.50 in taxes during his first year of ownership. If, however, the $64 of faxes con tained in the original purchase price is averaged down to an annual de preciation basis of $10.42, assum ing resale or trade-in at the end of the third year for $350, the motor-1 ist’s average tax cost becomes $48.14 annually for the three years, the study shows. This figure is com puted on the very conservative op erating basis of 7,200 miles per sea son, the report points out.The owner of a used , car in its fourth to seventh year of service contributes an average of $35 an nually in taxes, the study shows, if he operates his car a modest 6,000 miles per season.O Western Newspaper Union.

' Genghis Khan, Founder of ^ Mongol Empire^ Barbarian An anniversary recently celebrat ed in China as it has been for a number of centuries was that of Genghis Khan, the founder, of the 'Mongol empire, which in the Thir teenth century extended from the Danube on the west across Asia .to ithe Pacific. The career Of conquest of this remarkable character in-his- itoiy astounded the world of his day, ' by whom it was thought to be solely Ithe result of the seemingly irresist ible power of the hordes of Mongol 'horsemen he had at his command. ;But in the light of research, says IR. A. Berry in the New York Her- ald-Tribune, it is seen that, while Genghis Khan was the leader of one of those periodical uprisings and .'migrations from central Asia like, !those of the Huns and the. Turks !before him, yet it was his quality of leadership that made the. vast Mon gol conquests and empire possible. I Like all nomad empires, that of Genghis Khan was purely military and administrative, a sort of fram e work overshadowing but only occa sionally disturbing the land. It centered in the personality of the lead er, and its relation with the mass of the population was simply one of taxation for the maintenance of the strength of the military. The most- complete religious toleration was granted, and only whentribute was refused or insurrection attempt-: ed did the subject people, once they were conquered,.feel the heavy hand ofthe ruler. But in such instances punishment was sure and swift and often went to the extreme of wip ing out whole populations, for, al though civilized to a certain extent, Genghis Khan was a true barbarian it this respect. Genghis Khan died in. 1227 in the midst of his triumphs, .and shortly after his passing the dissolution of / the great-Mongol empire' began., Cto / the death of Kublai Khan jn 1924 the title of Great Khan lapsed- and foe . descendants of Kublai became the Yuan dynasty whose rule was con fined to China’-;and Mongolia. •'.

Such veneration was-not litnited to foe land of the Nile, however. It spread to Greece, Romei was found In. Western Asia. Even now, in parts of Java, natives enshrine foe reid dog, and each family keeps one in its. house. Indians of our own Pacific-Coast respected foe dog, believing it could take foe form of a handsome youth.
