Ten years ago if someone had told us that 1,000 people in Wilkes county would try 'to obtain some thing for nothing we would have refuted the assertion, but that is just what happened. We learn from the welfare office that about t ,000 people are seeking to apply for old age assistance or aid to dependent children. Everybody who knows anything about the county knows that many people do need help and that many people should have assistance, but one thousand people represents a bout one person out of every 40 in the county. So much talk of old age pensions, the Townsend plan, etc., during the past few yearn has so stirred many of the misled .aged people that they think old age pensions for everybody over 65 are here and that all they have to do is prove their age. They do - not stop to think of where the money would come from and are content to be lieve that there is a Santa Claus money maker-somewhere who can put out untold millions. , There are others, including many politicians, who say soak tbe rich to get money to give away. This makes popular ballyhoo but unfor tunately is impractical because of the simple fact that only u very small per cent of the .people are rich, that they are being taxed, al- m ostto the limit and that taxing manufacturing corporations can mean but one thing and that is in creased cost of living to the laborer and farmer. As a matter of. fact, from one fourth to one third of the money expended for aid to aged, depend ent children and the blind must be raised by the county, which has but one way of obtaining substan tial revenue, ah advalorum tax on property and the property of the county consists mainly of homes and real estate This brings this subject. cl.ose home or into our homes.

The Record 1» only $1.00: Home Town Ediloi Says: (By Earle Dye in The Rotarlan ) When you married “ the finest girl in the county,” where did yon look for that notice meant so much to yon—and so little to nearly everybody else? In your home town paper. When your home was invaded bv a blue eyed girl, or a bouncing bay. to whom did you immediately give details about the time of ar rival, sex and weight? The editor of the home paper. In after years, when some young fel Iuw took the blue eyed girl to home of his own, or the boy, now a mad, was given a partnership in your business, to whom did you tell the news—which once more mean much to you and so little to every one else? To this same editor of that sume home-town paper. And when trouble invades your home, and you add to your earthly possessions that desolate bit of real estate in the cemetery and some how the sun doesn't seem to shine as brightly as it did, and there’s a flutter of crepe on the front door, and the chair that has been beside you for years is vacant—when this happens, who is it tnat makes it his business to “write up” the obitu ary? Again —it’s the editor of the home paper. Did you ever stop to count the times you begin conversation with the words, “I see by the paper ” ? Staying at home, you may not appreciate yotir home town paper; but just take a trip; and be away from your intimate friends for several months, and then pick up a copy. Tou will welcome it as you would your closest friends. I have always disliked publishing information about misdeeds or mis fortunes of others. When I could do so, I have IeTt such matter out, or have given the main facts, with out going into details. To my way of thinking, there is something wrong with a journalism that brings tears to the eyes of at old man, or causes a mother to feel stabbed to tbe heart by- publicity given to an erring son or wayward darghter. I do not, nowever, mean that a newspaper should entirely suppress crime news. A hard and fast line between what news to print and what to omit cannot be drawn. The mitigating circumstances, and tbe far-reaching effect must be studied and decided upon. In the main, it is the providence of a newspaper to print tbe so- called crime newspaper to print the so-called crime news as its occurs. In so doing, it provides a safeguard to the community at large, which is invaluable. Men are deterred from ctiminal actions' by fear of publicity. Judicious use of print*, ers’ ink can do more toward law en forcement than a dozen peace of ficers. Newspapers, like all human a gencies, make mistakes, but such errors are generally /traceable to misinformation given the newsmen. I remember one such instance which happened to me in my early reportorial days. During the ab sence of tbe editor a communica tion came telling of the marriage of a young couple in the nearby communty: The letter was ap parently in the handwriting of one of our correspondents, and: in good faith I publish the story.- A . few days later, a sandy haired citizen, accompanied by his older son, his wife and daughter, stormed into the office. ' •‘I’ve come here to see the rap scallion who put a notice in the paper about my daughter’s mar riage,” be shouted. In bis hand was a long, old fashioned1 “ black- snake” whip, held at a dangerous angle. Before I replied I stepped to. the door leading to the shop and to come up front. Then I told my visitor that I had edited the item and, summoning ail my nonchal ance, casually inquired whether anything about it was wrong. As he cooled down a little— helped perhaps by the sight of stove poker, in the hands of our Irish foreman printer—he explain ed tiiat the report was false, and that his daughter was not married 1 bad saved the letter which toid of the marriage, and showed it to him It theD developed' that it had been written in spite by a young lady who had been going with tbe same feliow as the man’s daughter. Another apparently gross error, charged to me, happened when my make up man transposed two hand fuls of type. When the paper came out, an irate hostess called me and wanted to know why I had put the names of her bridge party guests in the “Farm News” column just un- der an account of a sale of regis- terep bulls! I am confident that all newspa per editors will go to heaven. No matter how eloquently the editor may boost for Ihe development and progress ol bis community, no mat ter how diligently he may labor to build up bis home county, no' mat- tar how loyally he supports a friend in politics, extolts the virtues of a iambus native son, stretchas the truth to praise a local prima-doha to be, or gently lays a metaphori cal wreath on the grave of the de parted, be seldom hears a “Thank vou.” Rarely does anyone sav, Well done.” Almost never does he hear, -‘ Well done.” Almost never does he hear, “ We apprecia ted that.” But let him make a slip. Let him say that Sam Jones did some thing he didn’t do. or Mrs. Smith Brown said something she didn’t say! Everyone in town then takes a whack at him. And that is why I believe that ail newspapermen go to heaven—they get their share of liell on earth. A New Record Service. Through thiscolumn Tbe Record will answer inquiries from its read ers on the Social Security law. AU workers, employers, housewives, etc. are invited to use this service' It is not a legal service. It is an informa tional service. Answers will be au- thoritive. The Social Security Board, throu Mr, J. N Freeman, Manager of the Board’s office at tbe Nissen Building in Winston-Salem, has consented, as a special service to The Davie Record and its readers, to answer all ques tions on the social security law sub mitted to this paper. QUESTION AVD ANSWER, Question: Must an . employee Ie employed continuosly during a five- year period to qualify for old-age benefits? Answer: No. One day’s gainful employment in each of five different calendar years in any employment not specifically exempted under Ti tle VIII of the Social Security Act is sufficient to meet the five-year mini mum requirement. Question: Are wages from all types of work included for Federal old-age benefits? Answer: No. Wages for certain specified services are not counted in the computation of benefits. Question: Will . monthly Federal old-age retirement benefits be paid to every one after age 65? Answer: . No. In order to receive monthly old-age retirement benefits from tbe Federal Government at the age of 65.'individuals must have been employed in at. least five different calendar years after 1036 in wbat might be termed “industry” and commerce,” and their wages from such emplcyment must be a total of at least $2,000. Question: May an individual buy Federal old-age retirement benefits from the Federal Government? Answer: No: The Federal old- age retirement benefits are not pur chasable. ] Question: If my total wages ip ■ 1162.100, what will my monthly Fed- Failure of The League Admitted at Last. England's rearmament program is a result of British recognition of the complete failure of the League of Nations, according to Sir Herbert Brown Ames, of Canada. Sir Herbert told the University of Virginia Institute of Public Affairs tbe failure of the League to pro tect . Ethiopia convinced England that ’ The League as an effective in strument for the protection of its own members could not be relied The League failure was frankly acknowledge by other speakers at the Institute, agreeing that the Lea gue in calling off its sanctions a- gainst Italy admitted its own failure. These admissions are significant, coming from people who still think the League of Nations has unreveal ed virtues. Sir Herbert in fact said: Great. Britain and the overseas dominions have no intentions of a- bandoning the League. They ad mit its present inability to defend its members, but tbev believe in the principle of collective security.” He may be right, but the ten bil lion dollars England is now spend ing for defense appears to be a bet ter gauge of what England thinks. The League'of Nations has been a trouble-makers’ paradise from tbe beginning, which is just wbat A- merica expected it would be. Even now. those who are trying to keep the Leagiie going say its most “lamentable, weakness” is evidedced by its “inability and unwillingness to take action an the Spanish problem.” Tbe Leaguehasalways been con ducted as an international sewing circle for prying into'world troubles, and thus has always been a potential war maker. If the League had not failed it would probably have started a world war over Ethiopia, and an earlier one oVer Manchuria, It could start a world war in Spain by meddling in -Spain. _ American judgment in rejecting wages wItJje Jieagueat the outset has been vindicated by the experience of other as^ed the two men at work there Times. j| See Death of Democratic Party.

'JQE' ROBINSON IS DEAD Court Plan May Have Died With Him .. 'Japan, China Face Another Crisis . . Treasury Backs 'First Lady* Joe Robinson Rallies tbe Democratic National Convention. W . J & ic k a J u lVrM RTHVrMaPT71T!S THT. WnPTJVSSUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK C Western Newspaper Union. Senator Haritson had served Falls Face to Battle WHEN Sen. Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas dropped dead of a heart attack in his apartment across from the United States capi tal, the President’s plan for securing new appointments to the Supreme court bench, even in its amended form, died with him. That is the belief of close observers in Washington. F o r “Joe” Robinson was the President’s tow er of strength in the legislative branch of the government. He the Democratic party well in the senate since 1913, and as the majority leader in the upper house since 1932. Joe Robinson’s job it was to keep a smooth balance between the con servative democrats, largely of the South, and the more radical mem bers of the party from the North and West, so that the objectives of the New Deal could be turned out of the legislative mill. Robinson never fought harder than he did in his last battle. As he worked hard and long in an attempt to get the “compromise" court plan passed, often raising his voice and exerting himself mightily in senate arguments, it was ap parent to his colleagues that he was not well. Sen. Royal S. Cope land, the only physician in the sen ate, had several times asked him to calm himself lest he hasten his own death. While the senate was adjourned for Robinson’s funeral, administra tion leaders sought to rally support so the court bill could be passed, even without the late senator’s lead ership. But the opposition forces were equally determined to take advantage of the psychological as pect of the senate following Robin son’s death—the desire to effect a peace, finish the session’s business in a hurry and get away from the capital. The forces opposed to the bill believed that when the issue came up again they would be successful in recommitting the substitute bill to the judiciary committee, an ef fective way of killing it. The indica tion of opposition greater than had been expected in the house of rep. resentatives was another factor pointing to the eventual fall of the bill. Another battle was not long in getting under way: to decide who the new majority leader of the sen ate should be. Conservative Dem ocrats were anxious to wrest a measure of control from the White House by backing Sen. Pat Harri son of Mississippi, who has been faithful to the President, but is fundamentally conservative. T h e more radical senators backed Al- ben W. Barkley of Kentucky, Dem ocratic national convention keynot er, who had been Robinson’s as sistant as floor leader. Another pros pect was Sen. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, but it was believed his strength would eventually be transferred to Harrison. Another thing that had Washing ton guessing as a result of Robin son’s death was the vacancy on the Supreme court left by the retirement of Justice Willis Van De- vanter. Robinson, it was generally believed, was to have received the appointment. Struggle In the Senate T n WELVE Democratic senators and one Farmer-Laborite were believed to hold the fate of the administration’s substitute for the original bill which would increase the ' number of Supreme court justices to 15. The administration was certain that the bill would re ceive at least 38 votes,. with 48 necessary to a majority since Sen ator Robinson’s death. Forty-three senators were definitely committed against it. Thirteen were still un committed as the battle raged on the senate floor and in the cloakrooms. The twelve uncommitted DemeK crats were: Andrews (Fla.), Bone Emperor Hirohito (Wash.), Brown (N. H.), Caraway (Ark.), Duffy (Wis.), Johnson (Colo.), Lewis (111.), M u r ra y (M o n t.), Overton (La.), Pep per (Fla.), Russell, Jr. (Ga.) and Wagner (N. Y.). Lundeen (Mun.) was the Farmer-Laborite. The substitute for the original Ashurst bill provides for appoint ment of one new justice each year to every justice remaining on the court after reaching the age of seventy-five years. —■*— New SIno-Japanese Conflict? YXT1AR between China and Japan ' ' was believed almost inevitable as hopes of settling a new outbreak of hostilities-by diplomatic means faded out. The fighting ensued as Jap anese gendarmes at tempted to take over the policing of Yu-' anping and Lukow- kiao, two villages in the Peiping area, hear Marco Polo bridge.- This, the Japanese said, was provided for in the North China truce. According to the assertions of theJapanese war office, Chinese soldiers fired upon the gendarmes and opened up with trench mortars against the Japanese contingent at the Yuanping station. This action allegedly com pelled the Japanese to make a night assault, costing 20 lives, in order to occupy the towns of Lungwangmiao and Tungshinghwan. It was said the Chinese troops had also ad vanced .into these points. Officials of the Hopei-Chahar coun cil claimed the Japanese moves were in open violation of the truce. They further accused the Japanese of conducting night army maneu vers: using.real bullets instead of the blanks ordinarily employed in maneuvers. As Emperor Hirohito and Premier Fumimaro Konoe conferred with military leaders and Hie cabinet, the Japanese people franti cally prepared for the war that loomed. China’s Nanking government gave orders to Gen. Simg Cheh - yuan, commander of the North China forces, that his army was not to re treat for any reason, but was to be prepared to make the “supreme sacrifice” to hold its position Until Gen. Chiang Kai-shek should arrive over the Peiping-Hankow railroad with 50.000 fresh troops. As the fighting continued in the Peiping area, with no hope of’ an effective compromise on the two na tions’ demands, war seemed the probable result. Although an agreement was re ported to have been made between local Chinese and Japanese authori ties at Tientsin, settling the dispute to the satisfaction of both, the na tional government at Naiffiing has continued to insist that no agree ment reached locally would be observed. Mrs. Roosevelt s Taxes . WHEN Representative Hamil ton Fish (Rep., N. Y.) sought to demonstrate the unfairness of toe tax invasion investigation commit tee, he demanded that the committee investigate the i n come of the wife of the President from radio broadcasts, charging that s h e was not paying a cent of income taxes - upon those earnings. She had turned over $39,000 to the Amer- _ ■ , ican Friends Service nep. fisn committee, a Phila delphia charity, kept $1 per broad- -bast for . herself and paid nothing .whatever from her radio earnings to the government. v Assistant Attorney General Rob ert H:' JackSon replied for her, ex plaining to Chairman Doughton of the congressional committee, that the bureau of internal revenue had advised Mrs. Roosevdt she need pay no tax on the. receipts from the broadcast. He declared the re sponsibility "is not that of Mrs. Roosevelt, but that of. myself and others who were treasury at the time.’’ thinks about: Third Term Ballyhoo. SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— After a president has been re-elected it’s certain that some inspired patriot who is snuggled dose to the throne will burst from his cell with a terrible yell to proclaim that unless the adored incumbent consents again to succeed himself this nation is doomed. Incidentally, the said patriot’s present job rind perquisites a ls o would be doomed, so h e couldn’t be blamed for privately brooding on the dis tressful thought.You .wouldn’t call h im selfish, but y o u could call him hope ful, especially since there’s a chance his ballyhoo may direct attention upon him as a suitable candi date when his idol Irvin S. Cobb says no to the prop osition. He might ride in on the backwash, which would be e v e n nicer than steering a tidal wave for somebody else. Political observers have a name for this. They call it “sending up a balloon.” It’s an apt simile, balloon being a flimsy thing, full of hot air, and when it soars aloft nobody knows where it will come down—if at all. It lacks both steer ing gears and terminal facilities. There have been cases when the same comparison might have been applied not alone to the balloon but to the gentleman who launched it. So let’s remain calm. It’s tradi tional in our history that no presi dent ever had to go ballooning in or der to find out how the wind blew and that no volunteer third-term boomer ever succeeded in taking the trip himself.• • • Modem Prairie Schooners. WE’RE certainly returning — with modem improvements— to prairie schooner days when rest less Americans are living On wheels and housekeeping on wheels and having babies on wheels. Only tbe other day twins were born aboard a trailer. And—who knows?—per haps right now the stork, with a future president in her beak, is flap ping fast, trying to catch up with somebody’s perambulating bunga low. So it’s a fitting moment to revive the story of early Montana when some settlers were discussing the relative merits of various makes of those canvas-covered arks which bore such hosts of emigrants west ward. They named over the Conestoga, the South Bend, the Murphy, the Studebaker and various others. From under her battered sunbon- net there spoke up a weather beaten old lady who, with her husband and her growing brood, had spent the long years bumping along behind an ox team from one frontier camp to another. “Boys,” she said, shifting her snuff-stick, “I always did claim the old hickory waggin wuz the best one there is fur raisin’ a family in.”* * * Pugs Versus Statesmen. TT’S confusing to read that poor decrepit Jim Braddock, having reached the advanced age of thirty- four or thereabouts, is all washed up, and, then, in another column, to discover that the leading candi dates to supply young blood on the Supreme court bench are but bound ing juyeniles of around sixty-six. This creates doubt in the mind of a fellow who, let us say, is quite few birthdays beyond that en gendered wreck, Mr. Braddock, yet still has a considerable number of years to go before he’ll be an agile adolescent like some senators. He can’t decide whether he ought to join the former at the old men’s home or enlist with the latter in the Boy Scouts.• • • Quiescent Major Generals. COMETHING has gone out of life. J For months now no general of the regular army, whether retired or- detailed to a civilian job, has talked himself into a jam—a rasp berry jam, if you want to make, a cheap pun of it. Maybe it’s being officially gagged for so‘ long while on active service that makes such a -conversational Tessie out of the average brigadier when he goes into private pursuits and lets his hair down. It’s as though he took off his tact along with his epaulettes. And when he subsides there’s always another to .take his place. You see,- under modern warfare the commanding officer is spared. He may lead the retreat, but never the charge. When the boys go over the.top is he out in front waving a sword? Not-so you'd notice it. By the new rules he’s signing , papers in a bombproof nine miles behind the lines: and about the only peril he runs is from lack of exercise in the. fresh air. ; May be, In view of what so often happens when peace ensues, w e should save on privates instead of generals. IRVIN 8. COBB. Q -W N U S e n * * . ^..V'v'V 'i I ■■■■• National Topics LitetpreteJ by WilIiatn Bruckart Natloiwt Iieas BaIUUns Washlnston, D. C. Washington. — This article shall be devoted not to politics nor to _ affairs of the gov- Fmwre erament of the na- Leaden t i o n exclusively but to the future— the future leaders. It shall be, to that extent, a discussion of funda mentals about which I think there can be no controversy. First, let us take a quick survey. Li the Capitol building of our own nation there is raging a bitter de bate between two schools of political thought. The question is whether there shall be a law passed that will give to the President of the United States the power to appoint addi tional justices to the bench of the Supreme court when and if present sitting members reach the age of seventy-five and refuse to retire from active work: In Spain, a bitter political war fare moves on apace. It is over the question whether Communism of the Russian sort or Fascism of the Ital ian brand should be the dominant influence in the government of that nation. In the Far East, along the Rus sian border, troops of toe Japanese emperor and of the Russian dicta tor, Stalin, glared at each other. Their controversy also involves po litical bases. That controversy also is complicated by economic condi tions. It is a powder keg. BaCk in Europe, we find a dicta tor, Hitler by name, persecuting citizens of Germany almost without end. A political question there, is involved and it is complicated deep ly by religion and race. Hitler and Ius minions seek to destroy, first, the Catholic church and, second, the Jews. Somewhat Mt off by the great Alps, although woven intricately , in to the whole picture, is another dis torted and disturbing condition. In Italy, Mussolini, having most of his people under his steel boot, is now preparing for new crusades. He has ordered all steel producing units in Italy to increase their produc tion to the maximum so that war material will be available. Musso lini wants more territory; he wants to expand the influence of Fascism and he wants to build a gigantic world power In a military way with Rome as the center and with him as the head.• • • Through many years residents of Washington and visitors to the capi- D -U- tal of the nation Bm lam g have gloried in a tor Future greensward t h a t borders the Poto mac river within the District of Co lumbia. It is a justly famous park, made more beautiful by such state ly structures as the monument to George 'Washington and the great citadel of beauty erected to the mem ory of Abraham Lincoln. And, to add to this beauty is the vista across the river where stands in grandeur the beautiful home that was the residence of Robert E. Lee—main taining throughout the years the respect that a natibn has for a great military leader. It reposes, or seems to repose, in peace and quiet as do the thousands of men who rest in the hillsides of Arlington National cemetery. In this peaceful setting for ten days, more than twenty-six thou sand boys—the leaders of the fu ture—were congregated in a Na tional Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of American Tents were everywhere. Uncounted boys in the khaki shorts, which is their uniform, flitted about toe city or held various maneuvers or staged dramas of the ages in a great arena. Among them was a sprinkling, and the number was not more than a sprinkling compared to the boys, of the scoutmasters and mature men who constitute the lead ership of this great army of youth. I hope I may be forgiven for inter jecting here an expression of my personal feelings. It has been my lot to work hard from the time I put off swaddling clothes. The work I have done and the experiences I have met had a tendency to make me callous, somewhat cynical. But I must confess that on half a dozen occasions as I ■ wandered through this tented city, .I gave thought to my own boyhood and to two boys for whom I am responsible, I felt swelling of pride, a satisfaction of heart, that I live in a nation which has given me the right to liberty and progress. Moreover, there came to me the thoughts of the future of my own two boys and the millions of others just like them— future leaders of a nation that holds forth such possibil ities as are best evidenced by the encampment of those twenty-six thousand ' then within the range of my vision. ' • • • Then, no tribute to these future, leaders of our nation and to the — . . . nation which bred JfSfrate them can or .will to West, ' be complete with- - out mention of Or. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive, Dr. West was. an orphan boy: Worse, he was a cripple. And add to these handicaps, there was a period in his early life when the keenest medical minds said he 'could not live and if he did live would be a hopeless invalid. But Dr. West was made out of the same mold from which came the founders of our-nation and from whom, as founders, the traditions and the methods known now- as the American way have grown. •It was Dr. West, who devoted, indeed, dedicated his life to the or ganization and development of the Boy Scouts of America. It is now an organization of more than two mil lion boys and there are some six million who can be called alumni because they have grown too old to remain in the ranks of active Boy Scouts. I mentioned earlier that this an army of peace, an army devoted to the maintenance of American traditions. No better'proof of this need be given, if any were needed, than the notorious fact that rep resentatives from the three total- iarian states—Italy, Germany and Russia—are missing from the en campment. In two of those states the Boy Scout movement has been superseded by a dictator’s decree which forces regimentation and mil* itarizing of the youth. They are being trained for war. Happily most countries still pin their faith to the virtues summarized in the Scout law—the boys promise not to die but to live, not to cringe but to blossom; by holding themselves ev er trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friend ly, courteous, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, clean, and last but hot least to maintain a reverence for God. So, I think I can be pardoned for the feeling I have that in this en campment lie the seeds of a con tinued free America, waiting the time to take root and bloom into manhood. Itisfromtheseandfrom these alone that we can hope to maintain in our beloved nation political system which warrants neither Communism nor Faiscism; which desires liberty and peace and which challenges the cockeyed theo ries that government must care for the people rather than the people care for their government. It seemed to me, therefore, to be something of a sour note that the National Y o u th administration which set up a hideous looking, box like structure near the center of the capital city from which litera ture could be distributed to the Boy Scouts. This structure looked for all the world like a soft drink stand at a cheap carnival and I, per sonally, resented the action of Na tional Youth administration officials who ordered its construction. I felt this way because the National Youth administration is predicated upon the very theory that I have just condemned—a theory that govern ment must serve as a father for everybody and that it must lay dbwn rules to which all must sub scribe. It is the nearest thing to the regimentation that is going on in nations under dictators that exists in our government today. Cabled dispatches from Russia in dicate again that the dictator, -Sta- „ lin, is determinedH eaoyH and to rid the Soviet o f Stalin of anyone and ev eryone who, m a y be opposed to him. The official an nouncements of the so-called Soviet government tell of the “liquidation' of numerous individuals who have objected to Stalin’s tactics or who are seeking to revise the Soviet system. “Liquidation” in Russia means that those individuals were executed by a firing squad. A dead man can cause no harm to the as pirations of a .dictator. The Stalin administration ar ranges for the “liquidation” of its opponents by coercion of confes sions and this is followed up by what the Soviet calls a trial in a court of justice. The courts of jus tice are owned and controlled by Stalin; they decide as they are told to decide and there is no such thing as an impartial court in Russia be cause the government owns th e courts and names the judges who are to do the government’s bidding. Private advices from abroad seem to show that there is a very serious uprising underneath toe surface in Russia. Thousands of Russians have grown tired of having one man de termine whether they shall live or die and. they yearn again for a system of courts which will de termine their guilt or innocence in accordance with honest evidence presented and not. in' accordance with toe way'toe gdveming clique wants justice administered. As toe Russian judiciary is con structed under the mailed fist of Stalin, courts are a farce. Without such a court; structure, however, a dictator could not perpetuate his own power. He must have control of toe courts in order to carry out under toe guise of law all of toe whims and fancies and hatreds that he possesses. A nation of tree, people does hot long remain free after its courts become subjected to toe di rection and control of one man. Judges who can administer/justice without fear or favor are toe’first perquisite to liberty.Cl Wutem NMneasu Ualai.'' 1Way Back When By JEANNE WALT DISNEY WAS A MAIL CARRIER W S HAT are the secret ambitions ticularly -those whose occupations are mechanical or lonesome enough to allow their minds to drift often into the realms of fantasy? Walt Disney is an example. Bom in Chicago to 1901, his first job was as a mail carrier there, at the age of sixteen. As a little boy he liked to draw, and he liked to draw ani mals; but the famous creator of Mickey Mouse had to make a living delivering mail. He had no chance to express his creative genius un til after toe World war, when he obtained a job as a commercial artist in Kansas City. In his garage, be experimented with animated newsreels called “Local Happen ings.” which he sold to Kansas City moving picture theaters. He fol lowed these with a series of fairy tales for local diibs and church gatherings. This modest success prompted him to try Hollywood, where he started to an unpretentious Uttle building far from the big studios. There he created “Oswald, the Rabbit," but after making 26 sub jects. he and his backer separated. The backer owned the rights to “Oswald, the Rabbit" which is still being shown in toe theaters, and Disney was left without his most promising character. Out of. this adversity was b o rn “Mickey Mouse” and toe “Silly Symphonies.” Today, Walt Disney employs a staff of artists to draw his charac ters but he is, himself, toe voice of Mickey Mouse.* * * PICTURE MAGNATE WAS A PEDDLER IT’S fun for toe young man who * was bora to be president of his rich father’s company: a month in the shop, a month clerking, and then general manager. -But consid er the discouragement and heart aches of the boy too poor for an adequate education, too poor for nourishing food or decent clothing, too poor to meet people with influ ence.

He obtained a job in a clothing firm and rose to be foreman in charge of lining cutting, at the magnificent salary of $8 per week. To augment bis earnings, he bought umbrellas and peddled them in front .of theaters on rainy nights. With $1,600 savings accumulated through many privations, he started a cloth ex amining and shrinking business, whqn be was twenty-one, and at the end of-the second year invested his profits-in a nickelodeon or Sve- cent motion picture house.

STRIKES PONT BOTHER THE SOUTH Not As Much As the North and East, at Any; Rate—Dixie Begins to Enjoy Results of Campaign to Attract Industries. By WILLIAM C. UTLEY SPECTACULAR strikes of re- cent months in the North and East, with their accompanying publicity, have largely ob scured from die public con sciousness the industrial awak ening that is taking place in the South. Yet southern industrial leaders feel that labor troubles outside Dixie will soon be re flected in increased southern migrations as industry spreads out to avoid the difficulties root ed in over-concentration. Fortunately for the South, which in the last 18 months has pressed a determined campaign to attract new manufacturing plants, its compara tively quiet labor conditions have stood out in serene contrast to the hectic scenes which have filled the northern stage. Department of Labor reports show that the number of workers involved In strikes steadily increased in both the North and South during the last six months of 1936, the latest period for which official records are avail able. But the totals are heavily against the North, which suffered 894 strikes, involving 372,495 work ers, as compared with 105 strikes, involving 29,134 workers in Dixie. The North had its greatest num ber of strikes in August and Sep tember, with 187 in each month, but 163 strikes in October involved the most workers—95,172. The South had 24 strikes in August, keeping 4,- 563 from employment, but 11,596 were kept out by 16 strikes in Oc tober. South Is Non-Union. During the six-month period 40 to 60 per cent of all new strikes occurred in four States—New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and California— with Illinois and Michigan account ing for a sizeable portion of the re mainder. During the same six months only two important strikes took place in the South—one in the Chevrolet and Fisher bodies plants at Atlanta, and one in the plant of the Celanese Corporation of Amer ica at Cumberland, Md. Both were settled amicably.' Scarcity of strikes of either “sit- down” or. “walkout” variety, in the South' is easily explained. The South is relatively non-union. With indus try less concentrated than in eastern or .middle western regions, it is Ims susceptible to strike epidemics. Some industrialists deem it prob able that public opinion will have outlawed the “sit-down” before the South can be effectively unionized; if “sit-downs” should appear, state and local governments should profit Cnntmted workers, Otese! They are enjoying themselves In a recrea tion hall built by a large paper manufacturer with plants in several southern cities. more difficult to carry out and might end in a workers’ revolt. Southern states are now making it easier than.ever before for indus tries to migrate to points within their borders. The first year of Dixie’s industrial promotion drive— 1936—brought $322,000,000 in new plants and ,equipment, the greatest one-year development in history. Leading the pack were paper com panies with investments totaling $60,000,000 in new plants; petro leum refining, with $50,000,000 in new distributing plants and pipe lines, and iron and steel manufac turers with a $53,000,000 expansion program. During the first quar ter of 1937 the pace was main tained, with $92,964,000 in industrial and engineering construction con tracts awarded. Prominent among the reasons for this sudden metamorphosis of a civilization that seemed destined to re main permanently agricultural, has been the extension of hydro-electric power to the most remote regions, resulting in an abundance of cheap energy in places which had been without i t , owing to lack bf coal for generating or lack of distribu tion lines from hydro-electric plants. Bi addition, the South pro vided a ready market, lower con struction and maintenance costs, and plentiful raw materials. Of it, Arthur D. little, the noted indus trial engineer,. said, “Nowhere is there likely to be a greater extension of industrial activity.” Now the South has “gone out after Louisiana is offering manufacturers a new field of industry with re cent chemical discoveries of the possibilities of converting sugar cane tops into industrial alcohoL Inset: Gov. Biifoard W. Leche signing con tract to give a container manufacturer ten’years tax exemption on ad dition to plant, to cost $400,800. by the experience of their eastern ■and middle western neighbors in handling them. Wages and employment in the South have increased more rapidly than in other sections, while hours have not increased as much, and this undoubtedly has some bearing on the absence of strikes. The wage differential between the South and other sections was approximately 33.5 per cent in 1933; by December, 1936, it had narrowed down to 21.9 per cent. Since the southern work er, according to economists, can maintain the same standard of liv ing as his northern counterpart at 20 per ceift less cost, the South may now claim virtual parity as far as real wages are concerned. Dixie Woos Industry. It is not hard to see why industry is attracted by the opportunity the South affords for decentralization. For instance, Detroit and Akron could be paralyzed in their produc tion of automobiles and rubber if a single plant gets into difficulties '■ with a vertical union; -,it. would then be within the power of union lead ers to call out workers in all plants in a “sympathy” strike. Sympathy strikes, whfie still possible under decentralized industry, would be much the business.” States have conduct ed active publicity and “selling” campaigns, making generous offers. These included exemption from tax ation for new industries and outright subsidies in the form of free factory sites, free ibuildings and state- trained labor. Lecbe Revives Louisiana. Louisiana was one of those which took the lead, capitalizing on under developed natural resources and on new, man-made ones. It stressed the fact that “nowhere in the world is there a greater opportunity for the development of a chemical in dustry than Louisiana, where salt, sulphur and gas occur in close prox imity.” It advertised and “sold” its 4,700 miles of inland waterways, its 14,000-mile highway system, its 10 trunk-line railroads, its large per centage of native American white population. It aggressively promot ed its mineral and timber wealths and its great basic crops of rice, cotton and sugar, supplemented by sweet potatoes, strawberries, soy beans and truck vegetables. Its port of New Orleans was touted as the second largest in the United States, with unrivaled facilities. Political interference with indus try in the recent past, coupled with heavy industrial taxes, had prevent- _ed much industrial growth in the last decade. But when the new gov ernor, Richard W. Leche, was elect ed he outlined a plan to revive the state industrially. The plan, which was adopted, re pealed the objectionable license tax on manufacturing establishments; effected a more equitable tax on oil refining; encouraged establishment of a livestock industry by removing the tax on cattle, sheep and hogs; created a board of commerce and industry to court industry; appro priated $100,000 for promotion, and proposed a constitutional amend ment giving the governor permis sion to grant tax exemptions for ten years to new plants and additions to existing plants. Effects were not long in coming to notice. Building permits soared;, so did department store sales, elec tric power consumption, manufac turing sales, post office receipts, wholesale grocery sales and other indices. Problems of state finance and legislative problems kept Gov ernor Leche from starting his in- .dustrialprogram with'the fullgusto he would have liked, but his own personal efforts brought into the state 15 new industries ranging in value from $100,000 to $3,000,000, employing 3,000 in their construc tion and giving permanent .employ ment to nearly 8,000. Mississtypl Follows Lead. Florida is wooing industry with a tax exemption law and is granting municipalities permission to erect buildings for manufacturers. Cities, are vying with each other to attract new factories, although insisting that they must be engaged in light manufacturing, such as garments, small housewares, etc.—no plant which emits objectionable, fumes need apply. Agricultural Mississippi, eager to replace the lumber mills that have left “ghost towns” along the rail roads, has adopted a plan to “bal ance agriculture with industry,” which was sponsored by Gov. Hugh White. In addition to tax exemption for five years, it offers free facto ries and free factory sites which, if the manufacturer maintains a specie fled payroll for a.stated ^period of years, become his property in most cases. The factories are built by the municipalities in which they are situated, the'cities, issuing bonds to cover the cost. Other, states are proceeding along the same lines. Alabama offers ten years of freedom from taxes. Mary land’s countries may grant perma nent tax exemption on manufactur ing machinery. Arkansas,' with a population 70 per cent rural, has thrown its working cap in the in dustrial-ring with a large fund to advertise the state’s natural re sources and manufacturing advan tages. North Carolina'has just ap propriated $250,000 to herald its at traction as a field for industrial ei pansion. Texas isnowconsidering an !appropriation of $1,000,000 a year for the next five years to advertise the state’s resources. Southern Markets Grow. To date efforts have been concen trated upon attracting industries which could process the raw materials of the various regions. Louisi ana, with its thousands of acres of rolling pine land, now leads the South in the securing of paper and pulp factories—largely a new south ern activity. The textile industry has moved almost en masse to the Carolinas; the South now produces 52 per cent of the nation’s textiles; while New England, for more than a eentury the. seat of this industry, now produces only 38 per cent ' As industrial payrolls provid% a constant stream of wealth for south ern workers, the markets below the Mason and Dixon line are constant ly gaining in importance. Advised opinion of'^iany Indus- trtalists and -economists Is- that-the /<rt>rth and East, as well as the South, will benefit from the greater prosperity of Dixie; with ,each section of the country supplying the products it can best produce.O W estern N ew spaper Union, * * * ★ * " * * * * * * * * * * * * * * STAR DUST Carole Lombard * N lovie • R adio $ ★ ★★★★By VIRGINIA VALE*** Ev e ly n daw is going to play the lead in her very first picture, and as if that were not enough to make her Holly wood’s Cinderella of the week, she tops it by being a girl who can keep a secret.

Due to some recent misunderstand ing about the vaccination policy of the county, the Board of Health and County Comm ssioners feel that the citizens of the county should know the true facts.. For fiftepn years this vaccination has been offered free every 3 years. Tne state bore part of the cost until 1930. The clinics were held at dif ferent places in the county During the depression the state has borne no part of the cost, but the County Commissioners were not wil ling to drop this valuable service to. the people, and instructed the coun ty physician to hold a free clinic ev ery three years in Mocksviile. This has been done. at. county expense. The next free clinic is due in 1938. It was felt that in a small county like Davie, with its greatly improved road system, people could come to Mocksviile. and that it was no longer necessary tohold smali clinics all over he county. This change has not af fected the health of the people. Dipr- tb.-ria is no longer the scourge it once w r, and there is not at this tin e, a k iown case of typhoid fever in D°vie county. ( V. hile the next free clinic year is next summer, the Board of C 'unty Commissioners believe in the valuV of these clinics, and want every citi zen to have a chance to lake the e vaccinations. To clear up all tnisun derstanding, they have ordered the countv physician. Dr. Lester Martin, rnd the assistant county physician. Dr. S A. Harding, to give in their offices free, for the next four Satur day afternoons. the typhoid and diph theria vaccine free/ This will start August 7lh. L. M. TUTTEROW, Chairman Board Co.'

Just don’t want to think about the man, that’s all. My sister Daphne went cock eyed about him and he turned her down hard. Like a perfect gentle man, of course, but it got my goat." “Are you sure he turned her down?" “Sure. I’m not blaming him, I’m ashamed for her, that’s all. He was probably fed up with her type. His ex-wife was never quite sober, I’ve heard. Daphne fell for him the minute she saw him, she had worried me by her crazy ideas of freedom for a girl, she’d picked up a post-war germ somewhere—all talk of course—and when Trent came along, she stopped drinking and staying out till morning at night clubs. I was relieved. Then he side-stepped. Forget- it. I don’t know why I told you. Nice street this, isn’t it?” Brook* nodded assent as they passed houses whose polished win dows, violet-paned. some of them, screened by laces of unbelievable fineness, regarded her with in scrutable calm. Thoroughbred dogs, proudly conscious of their gay col lars and smart breast-straps, dec orously escorted their young mas ters. Shining limousines waited be fore charming old doors. In the dis tance rose the faint, far sound of traffic, murmurous as a mighty flood which -never rolled nearer. “Here we are at your door. Sure you won’t change your mind and go stepping?” The boyish quality was back in Field’s voice. “Grand old house. Fity it was turned into apartments. Do you realize that you never have invited me to meet the family? What’s wrong? Ashamed Cf your home—or me?” “Neither." What a beastly suggestion, Jerry. If you must know, I haven’t told them about our friend ship. I have the finest family in the world, but their bump of humor is over-developed, it isn’t a-bump, it’s a coconut.” “What is there about me that’s a Joke?” “Nothing; don’t be so touchy. I decided to be a little mysterious, that’s all. Sam resents it if I ask him a question about his friends, thinks I am treating him like a boy when he is almost two years older than I; and since I got Lucette the chance to model and she is finan cially independent, she scorns my Interest.” “Is your mother like that?” “No, Mother’s a dear, but she is so bound up in her children that she has no real life of her own. It’s a pity because she is a com paratively young woman.” “She sounds old-fashioned and motherly to me. Grade A in moth ers. I like that kind. Can’t I come in and meet her? I had planned to celebrate with you. Now that you’ve turned me down, I haven’t any place to go.” ' “You carry off that aggrieved, little-boy pose well, Jerry, but'it leaves me cold. You, with your Crowd—capital C -, having nowhere to go! That’s the funniest thing I ever heard. I intend to devote the next two hours to makiiig plans with the family. But when we’re settled, I’ll invite you to Lookout House. Good night. Sorry.” The front door slammed with ,a force which shook the house. Sam, •f course. The atmosphere tingled when he appeared. He was whis tling as usual. Good-looking boy! His horn-rimmed spectacles added a touch of distinction. She patted his sleeve as he stopped beside her. “Had a nice day, Sammy?”“Not too good. They’re taking oft the play tomorrow. Our dear pub lic wouldn’t see it.” He pulled open the elevator door. "Hop in.” As it clanged shut, he asked: “All trough being 'a working girl?” Brooke swallowed a lump ip her throat and nodded. : .“It will seem queer beine,a4! •f leisure.” “Leisure! You don’t kni first letter of the word. I can’hi you wondering what you’ll do next Leisure isn’t your , line. You’ll plunge into classes and sports. There won’t be hours enough in a day for you.” . li e elevator stopped. A voice seeped through the cracks around the apartment door. Sam Reybuhi grinned. “Say, listen! Lucette’s on the air —and how.” “Oh dear, what’s her grievance b o w ? ” Brooke whispered, and put her key into the lock. • By Emilie Loring ^EmQletnrinft W N D S en d ee . She tried to appraise with the eyes of a stranger the high- ceilinged, large living-room she entered. A connoisseur of .portraits would know that Grandfather Rey- burn over the mantel had been painted by a great artist; that the portrait.of his daughter on the oppo site wall was a choice bit of work; that the duchess of Argyle in her sables, green satin, and emeralds was a masterpiece. Always she had'wanted to decorate a room as a background for the picture. Now she could. The duchess was hers. The mahogany and maple was sadly in need of rubbing up, but no amount of wear and tear could dis guise its period and value. Her eyes lingered on her mother perched on the arm of a couch. Sie did young things like that. Her hair was a sheeny platinum; her eyes were dark; her skin was clear and smooth; her figure In the amethyst crepe frock was round without in the least suggesting fat. There was a quizzical twist to her lovely mouth as she looked at her younger daugh ter, who, with legs thrust straight out before her, was slumped in a chair. Her red beret, which matched the belt of her slim green plain frock, was on the floor. Her r "Do Zoa OisHke Mark Trent?" hair was blade and wavy; her eyes were brilliantly dark; her painted lips drooped at the corners. Brooke recognized the symptoms. Samhad been right, Lucette was on the air. She said as she slipped out of her lapin coat: “In the Valley of Despond again, Lucette? Had a iiice day, Mother?’’ Mrs. Reyburn smiled and nodded. She would make her home-coming children think she had had a nice day, if the heavens had fallen. She was like that. Lucette answered her question. “You’d be in the Valley of De spond, if you had had the day Tve had, Brooke Reyburn. I’m dead to the world. A'woman came into the sports shop with three daughters, and kept me showing clothes all the afternoon. Gosh! My feet ache like teeth gone nervy.” “Did she buy much?” “Not that baby. She bought that little blue number only. For Pete’s sake, why does Sam have to whistle when he’s under the shower? The walls of this apartment are regular sounding boards.” “Bear up, Lucette, you will De out of it soon. If we can’t sublet this apartment, we’ll shut it up.” “Spoken like a lady and a multi, Brooke, darling. And after that what?” “You won’t have to model for fussy women and you’ll have a dressing room of your very own. M t. Stewart has told me that I may take possession of Lookout House as soon as I like. Mark the Magnificent has given the Jovian nod. He won’t contest the will. Tm going there tomorrow with a plumber. A .bath for every bed will- be my battle-cry ” Silence followed her words, a S i- lience fraught with significance. Brooke caught her sister’s look at her mother before she sat up straight and tense. She knew that posture, she was preparing, for a skirmish. Lucette said defiantly: "Glad you brought up that sub ject, Brooke. News flash! Fm not going to the sticks with you, not U you offer me a gold tub with dia mond settings. I spent one night at the home of Ihe late Mary rAmanda Dane, and, so far 'as I am “oncemed, the name means look rat and not go there again. That sealed door in her living-room gave me the creeps. Sam isn’t—** She dashed to the hall as the tele phone ‘rang.' • "Lucette Reyburn speaking,” she answered eagerly. "Yes—yes—he is. TO call him.*’ Her voice was as flat as de-bubbled champagne. She pounded on the bath-room door. "Phone for you, Sam—How do I know? It’s the girl who always calls Just'as you’ve stepped under the shower.—AU right.”Sb* returned to the phone. "Hold the line. He’ll be here in a min ute.” Back in the living-room she dropped into a chair. With elbows propped on . her knees, chin in her palms, she stared at the floor. In bathrobe and slippers, Sam answered the phone. “Can’t make it—No. It’s not an other girl, it’s a family confab. Sam Reyburn signing off. Good-by!” He slammed down the receiver. “And I know of no reason why I should explain to you what I’m do ing,” he growled under his breath. “Hi! Sammy! What’s the shower- dame’s name?” Lucette. called.Her brother scowled at her. “There’s about as much privacy in this apartment as there is in the bandstand on the Common.” “Cheerio, darling. You’ll have privacy, and how, if you live with Brooke. She’s going house-owner in a big way. If there’s to be a bath for every bed, of course there will be a sound • proof telephone booth with every room. What did you say the girl friend’s name was?" “It’s none of your business, kiddo, who calls me.” Hands deep in Uie pockets of his hectic bathrobe, Sam paced the living-room floor.- His' mother laughed softly. She patted the couch.“Stop walking the floor like a hungry, lion and sit down, Sam. Lu- cette started something just before the phone rang. She should have known better than to- start anything in the Reyburn family before it has been fed, but now that she has, you’d better finish it.” “What d’you mean by started, Mother?” Brooke perched on the arm of a chair at the desk. She faced them all. Most of the time she could tell quite well what they were thinking. She answered her brother’s ques tion before her mother feould. “She means that Lucette an nounced that she did not intend to live at Lookout House with me, and that you—”“Were not going either, Sam,” Lu cette finished triumphantly. “Aren’t you, Sam?” “Say listen, Brooke. Don’t you see how it is? I have to be at the theater early; I’m late when I get through; rehearsing all the morn ing. Twenty miles is a long way to commute.” ‘ “I had planned to buy you the snappiest convertible coupe on the market.”“Don’t make me feel like a brute. Don’t you see—” “Of course I see, Sammy. You want to be on your own. I do under stand.” “Don’t worry about his being on his own, darling,” Lucette cut in bitterly. “No one can be on his own in this family. The Great Adviser intends to stay right here to look after his little sister.” Brooke’s eyes met her brother’s; he nodded. Lucette flamed on: “And Mother’s going' to stay to look after both of us.”“Mother!" Brooke echoed the word with shocked incredulity. “But I’ve planned the most wonderful things for Mother. Is it true?” Celia Reybura’s eyes sh o n e through a mist as they met her elder daughter’s. Her lips curved in a lovely,’ trembly smile. “When you say Mother, Brooke, I think it the most beautiful word in the world. But I will not make my home with you—at present. First, because Lookout House is yours and you should, assume the responsibil ity aAd direction of it. You will do it more easily if I am not there. Second, I want to. stay in the city, not so much because of the chil dren, but because now that your financial future is assured, I Shall feel that I may use a little of the money your father left me. I want —I want to be in the heart of things. I’ll have an experienced maid, I’ll have the right clothes, and—and I’ll go places, I’m 'dying to go places."Her impassioned voice broke. “Perhaps I’m selfish, perhaps you children think I’m a silly old wom an.” Sam flung his arm about his moth* er. “Hooray for the 1Spirit of ’56! Sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned your age, Celia Reyburn. Don’t worry that you won’t get enough of your family, Brooke. I’ll hav* to drag these two giddy girls, off to the country for rest occasionally. Aren’t sore at us, are you, Brooke? Don’t feel that we have let you down to go on alone?” “Of course I don’t, you old dear. Why shouldn’t each one of us do as we like, now that there is some money bade of us? Because I feel that I must carry out Mrs. Dane’s wishes is no reason for ^dragging the rest of you into the country. Let’s get busy planning If you are all sold on staying in the city, we’ll have a bigger apartment. I may want to spend a week-end away from the sticks myself.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Best HaittDg Dogs "The best hunting dogs,” pointer owners say of the breed. They have much to bade that statement.

Israel, led by God, is on a jour ney to the promised land. But to reach their goal they must pass through the wilderness. Not only are there weary miles to travel, but there are privations to be en dured. Life is like that.“People may be strong and hope ful at the beginning of a project, and most effusively and devoutly thankful at its close, but the difficulty is to go manfully through the process. Israel was in the desert, and never were spoiled children more peevish, suspicious, and al together ill-behaved.. If they could have stepped out of Egypt into Ca naan at once, probably they would have been as pious as most of us; but there was the weary interval, the inhospitable wilderness! So it is in our life. Accept it as a solemn and instructive fact that life is a process . . . more than a beginning and an ending”- (Joseph Parker). Note how elemental are man’s needs in the . final analysis—bread and water. The very things we take almost for granted as we concern ourselves with life’s weighty inter ests and profound problems become, if lacking, the only things that have any real meaning. And who is it that can provide them? No one but God Himself. I. Bread from Heaven. (Exod. 16:11-20). ’ Observe first of all that this was a divine provision. There are re sponsibilities in life which we may bear—and must bear, but in the ultimate meeting of our real needs we must look to God. Secondly, we note that it was a daily provision. What forehanded folk many of us are, and no doubt rightly so, for God puts no premium on improvidence. But once again we must recognize, as did Israel in receiving the daily manna in the wilderness that ours is . indeed a moment ' by moment’ existence. We plan bravely for the next decade or the next generation, but as a matter of fact it can only come to pass “if the Lord will.’* Read James 5:13-17. Finally, it was a limited pro vision—enough for the day and no more, except for a double portion on the sixth day, and none at all on the Sabbath. These provisions were made clear to Israel, and yet there were those who attempted to lay up for the morrow, and some even went out to seek manna on the Sabbath day. We marvel at their stubborn ob tuseness, but are we not often just like them. Some there are who are Uways expecting that the laws of both God and man should be set aside for them, but, mark it well, they ultimately come to grief. The spiritual application is obvious, and most serious. God has provided a way of redemption, and has made clear how man should and must relate himself to it. Folly it is to ignore God’s plan. n . A Bock In the Wilderness. (Exod. 17:3-6). “And the people thirsted”—for the daily manna was not enough—they must have water. Needy, yes, con stantly needy are God’s children. God . always - provides. - There is a rock in the wilderness. But what pleasure does a murmuring people find in a rock when they famish for water? It is God’s delightful custom to meet our needs in unexpected ways and by means which we do not understand. Even our physical necessities come from unthought of sources. IIL The Bread and the Water of Life. Let us make certain, that we do not miss the spiritual truth of our lesson which is revealed by Scripture itself. Paul speaks in I Corinth ians 10:1-4 of this very incident in the'experience of Israel, and says that they “did all eat the same spiritual meat and did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Bock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” See also' John 4:14. Hungry, and thirsty soul, you who are still .unsatisfied after tasting all that life apart from Christ has to offer, will you not, just now, take him who is the living bread, and come to the Rock which flows with living water? How to ' Keep Quiet Character is revealed by small things; it is also hidden by small things. Speech often hides it, and again distorts it, for those who brand themselves by the pettiness of their conversation have some times unsuspected depths within;' but the surest revealer of character is silence—intelligent silence. Progcess No man who feels the worth and solemnity of what is at stake will be careless as to his progress^ A City Under a CitY Railroads Burrow Under New Tork City. Travelers Rarely Realize Whirlwind of Activity in Pennsylvania Stationl Prepared by N adonal Geographic Society, W asliioctont D . C.— W N U Service. ALTHOUGH it celebrated its i l twenty-fifth anniversary to 1935, the Pennsylvania station in New York still is the largest in the world. Walk around it and you have tramped half a mile, with no more sight of train or track than you would encounter about the Vatican or the Louvre. The station really is an eight-acre platform, with a mammoth super structure, bridging the Manhattan mouths- of two tunnels. Some trains run through these tunnels for seven miles, from New Jersey to Long Island, under , the Hudson and East rivers, pausing beneath the station, but never emerging into the daylight or night glow ot New York city. Northbound trains pass the most complex traffic comer in the world, for above the train tunnel, at Her ald square, in the order named, are the Sixth avenue subway, the Hud- son-Manhattan tubes, the street-lev el bus lines and the Sixth avenue elevated. Imagine an airplane over head, and it would be perfectly feasible for six vehicles to pass that intersection at one time.HaU MiUlon Tickets a Month. It takes a staff of 76 men to sell tickets at Pennsylvania station. In a normal month they sold 553,204 tickets for $1,595,280.60. The months of Easter, Christmas and Labor day raise that volume by a third or more. Printed tickets ready for sale, 150,000,000 of them, are stored in a room where they are guarded like notes in the United States treasury. Some-: of theseV tinted, water marked slips are worth a hundred dollars and more when stamped. Beside each seller’s grilled window is’ a rack from which he flicks but tickets with familiar noncha lance. These racks are mounted on wheels and have folding fronts and locks. Each seller has his own rack and key. When he goes off duty, he rolls his rack back of the line, locks it, and deposits the key in the cashier’s safe. The tickets are charged out to him and he must return the unsold quota and the money for those he sold. Selling Tickets Is Final Step. The station cashier’s office is like a bank. You may have noticed that when you pay for meals on a dining car you always receive crisp, new bills in change. The cashier must have on hand these “fresh” bills for stewards. Some $3,000 in “ones” are enough five days of the week, but on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays he must have a stock of $7,000 or $8,000 in ones alone. Selling tickets, however, is only the final step in a series of events. “When 4oes the next train leave for Topeka, Kan.?” “What connec tions do I make for Chicago?” “What is the fare?” Only a small fraction of such questions are asked in person at the conspicuous information booths. Normally 20 clerks are on duty at a time answering some 700 tele phone calls an hour. The peak of this year’s inquiries exceeded 1,100 in one hour before Labor -day. Forty-four clerks work in shifts to dispense information. If you watch the smooth operation of the soundproof telephone room not once will you see a clerk con sult a timetable. They are too cum bersome and tell too little.Foolish Questions Come Often. Instead, the information chief works with card-index experts to- compile all information about schedules of all railroad, airplane^ and bus lines and all fares on visible card files. One file gives name of all im portant golf clubs on Long Island, and the nearest railroad station to each club. It takes poise, tact, resourceful ness, to answer some questions. As examples:“Do I have a berth all to myself or do i have to share it?”“What hotels in Washington have swimming pools?”"My husband left last night on the B. and O. Where is he going?’* “Have youany hay fever fares Jto New Hampdiire?*' These ’Phones ABE Busy. “What time do I get a train to go to Mr. Abram Walker’s funeral at Toms Ferry?”“Should I dress and undress in my berth or in the men’s room?” When you reserve a ticket by telephone you call one of the busi est telephone numbers In New Yorki city. In addition to outside lines, 130 branch ticket offices in Manhat-I tan, Brooklyn and Newark are con-! nected with the centra! reservation! bureau by private wires. 1 In a spacious gallery from 15 to] 20 clerks sit before a series of aper-: tures like old-time village post-office! boxes, except that these cases are! mounted to move along a tracfcl from clerk to clerk. ^ ‘ In the boxes are piled the reser vation cards, the kind the Pullman’ conductor always is fingering just1 before the train leaves; in each' pigeonhole are marked-up cards for 60 days ahead. Lights Govern Conversation. Before each clerk is a series ot tell red lights and ten green lights.: The green lights denote a ticket, office call; the red lights an outside call direct from a passenger. A green light flashes. “Lower ten, K7, 3 p. m. Chicago. •Tbday. Ticket 7,492. Right.” In very different tone and tempo is the next response to a red light,' an individual who must have expla nation of price, type of accommoda tion, daylight time in summer, and a “thank you.” No switchboard operator inter venes in the 10,000 or sometimes many more calls that come in daily.: An automatic selector, worked out with the New York Telephone com pany engineers, routes these calls1 from ten lines out of the selector room to ten “positions” at the “card' tables” in the reservation bureau. ; If one operator is busy, the “se-' lector” shunts the call to another,^ lightmg the red or green signal to denote its origin. In an averaige 24 hours 63 clerks are employed in shifts to make, some 8,000 reser-1 vations for berths, chairs, compart-1 ments or drawing rooms. What They Leave on Trains. | Perhaps the high light of “human' interest” in the station is the lost and found storeroom. There are, stored and ticketed some several hundred different items, enough' stock for an East Side second-hand store. The articles recently included a basket of spectacles, skis, two cats, a bootblack’s outfit, books in six languages, a pair of crutches, three sets of false teeth, a restive terrier, dozens of umbrellas, tennis racquets, more than twoscore wom en’s coats, piles of gloves, a fresh sirloin steak (sad harbinger of dor mestic recrimination) and $20,000' worth of bonds about to be returned by special messenger. In subterranean corridors, far below the station tracks, may be. piled hundreds of pigeon crates. As many as 3,200 crates of homers have been shipped in a month, as far as a thousand miles, to be re leased by baggagemasters for races back to home lofts. Other strange shipments come through the station for baggage or express cars—baby alligators, pedi greed chicks, honeybees, game, thousands of crates of “mail order eggs” and bullion cargoes accompanied by 25 or 30 armed men. - Saturday nights from 75 to 80 trucks race with their loads of Sun day papers to catch the baggage cars attached to the “paper trains.” One newspaper’s early Sunday edi tion goes to press at 9:10 p. m. and is loaded on a train leaving at 9:50. If the driver gets held up by' a single traffic light the stationmaster must hold the train. Handling, the Mail. ' ' Some 150 carloads of mail are handled in and out of this station ev ery day. If the sacks were,piled and hauled along platforms passengers would not have space to board trains. They are dropped through trap doors beside maU cars where> conveyer belts carry them to huge separating tables. There men assort the bags as they pour in and pitch them into chutes for other belts that run beneath the street to the city post office adjoining, or to belts that connect with outgoing trains.' Around special tracks, to which passengers are not admitted, where mail cars await loading, are spy galleries from which postal inspec tors, unseen by the workers,-may' wateh the operation. Nearly 150,000 sacks of mail a day, about 1,500 trunks and other checked baggage, 2,200' pieces of hand baggage checked in parcel rooms and.a thousand more pieces in parcel lockers, from 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of parcel post—these are some of the operations that must not obtrude upon passenger comfort. ‘ THE ABEUT .

If your suit is washable, here is - fhe correct command—if you want! to get rid of the chewing gum and not your garment: “Bring me an egg white, some soap and some lukewarm water. Then stand back and watch me soften the gum with the egg white —so! And finally wash it complete ly away with the soapy water.” U your suit isn’t washable, the fabric-saving element is carbon: tetra-chloride, which will remove* all traces of stain. The authority for these points of; chewing gum etiquette is a new. booklet called “Handy Helps for Homemakers,” which has been prepared by a group of home economics authorities. This book let is a convenient, compact hand book of practical remedies for the most common household prpblems.' . It is divided into four sections: laundering (which includes not only; stain-removal formulae, but also< detailed advice on the proper way to wash various fabrics); home lighting; heating, and cooking. : The writers of the “Handy Helps for Homemakers” booklet have confined the chapter on “Cooking” i to an informative discussion of meat-selection rules, suggestions for improving actual cooking tech nique and a summary of the merits and problems of home canning. A copy of the “Handy Helps for Homemakers” book can be secured by sending 5 cents to cover postage and handling to Miss Boyd, 210 S.

C. pAUGUST 4 ,1937. A John Eliot Was Known u “Apostle to the Indians” John Eliijt, known-as “the apostle to the Indians,” is probably even less known to persons interested in Indians than Sequoyah, who invent ed the Cherokee alphabet, although Eliot, a native of England, obvi ously faced a task so monumental that only a man with a broad love of humanity and an indomitable will could have seen it through, relates a writer In the New York Sun. After arriving in this country he came to share the opinion, widely , held in his time, that the Indians I were the lost tribes of Israel; that in process of time they made their way after the captivity from the-ex- treme parts of Asia into America. He believed that in their language he would find 'some traces of the Hebrew. , " But although a good Hebrew scholar there never' was any evi dence that his knowledge of that language assisted him in any way in : understanding the Indian lan guage. In 1643, when thirty-nine years old, he began to study that language. He told how he set out on his task. "I found,” he wrote, "a pregnant- witted young man who had been a servant in an English house, who pretty well understood his own lan guage and hath a clear pronuncia tion. Him I made my interpreter . . . And thus I came at it . . .” Three years later Eliot began to preach to the Indians in their own language. Fitting symbols to sounds and teaching his wards how to read and comprehend was a task that caused many of his friends to look on his efforts as hopeless. A biographer has written: "One is appalled, humiliated as he thinks of the remarkable labors of this wonderful man.” One can hardly imagine the'difficulties which beset Eliot in the work of translation into the Indian language. Good Sense, Good Lock “Good sense,” said Uncle Eboit "is what we'admires, but good ludc is what we truly envies.” NEW YORK (Special ).—As the housewife repots geraniums or the gardener moves berry bushes, so does the New York World’s Fair 1939 Corporation trans plant stately trees from five states to the 1216^-acre exposition site. The Fair’s landscape engineers explain that the moving of the big trees differs from the replant- : ing of small shrubs only in the matter of size, and that modern mechanical aids make possible the creation of a mature-looking park on the newly mad* land of Flushing Meadow. Shown at the top of accompanying photographs la a grown maple that has just been restored to upright po sition after a 120-mile ride on a specially-built truck. Note truck’s winch and the secure balling of earth about the tree roots. In the centre is a'35-foOt Norway maple, 12 tons weight, moving the last few yards to its new home by means of the forward gear of a modern tree mover. All trees shown, a number of the 474 veterans' moved this spring, are new to the great 'expanse of filled land. The Fair will move 10,000 trees and 250,000 shrubs.

To the Editor of the Record:—I clipped the following lines from a recent issue of a religious journal: *‘A boy came down late for break fast and his mother saw with sur prise that he had bv his plate a big roll of notes. She knew the lad ought not to have the money and she cried: ’where did you get all that?’ ‘I won it last night in the gambling den’, said the youth. The mother rebuked him strong ly, and the boy got mad. ‘I know you are looked up to in the Church,’ he said. ’Yes’, replied the mother,, ’and you must take all that money back at once.’ The boy asked: ’Where did you get that vase on the mantlepiece?’ Why, you know I won it at the whist drive,’ was the reply. Then, said the boy, ‘you take that back, and then I will take this money back. It was you. mother, who taught me to play whist and bridge. I have only gone one step further.’ ” The above is a sad picture but a very natural one when such influ ences are spread out before the young.' I have known several boys to make gamblers, who received their card playing education in wbatware, otherwise, well regu fated homes. The old “deck of cards” —the in famous “spots and diamonds.” are just as dangerous when the art of handling them is learned in the par lor, as if learned in the wickedest dive. I presume there is not a game on the face of the earth that devil has used to greater advantage; and the men and women are having their bridge” parties or “ whist” par ties, should ponder well In. their minds iust how many little boys they may be influencing, that will turn out to be gamblers. Let me remind you, ladies and gentlemem that calling it a “bridge” party does not lessen the risk you run of making a gambler out of some boy or girl. Remember will you that it is the same old “deck of cards,” whether in the bands of Al Capone, or of some church member. People, pretending to be Chris tians should remember the solemn admonition, of oUr Saviour: “Let your light shine before men; that that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matt. 5 :16. No one’s light can shine, spiri tually, when hid bv a deck of cards. I care not how fine the parlor in which the game is played. JNO. W. KURFEES Boys And Beer And Wine. It may be, as Representative Vog- Ier says, that 700 to 800 boys in Char lotte will be thrown out of jobs by the strict interpretation being made of the recent enactment of the Legis lature relating to the employment of minors under 18 years of ’age in es tablishments wh ere alcoholic bever- ages are sold. Mr. VogIer contends that the Legislature never intended that this law shoo'd apply to other than boys being employed in liquor stores. His point is that it should have no bearing upon boys employed in drug Btores or other establishments where beer and wines are sold. What the Legislature meant or did not mean is too much for us. And how the attorney general arrives at an interpretation of what the Legis lature did mean in this matter, is, also, a bit too legally profound. But we are disposed to disagree with the dissent of Mr. Vogler. Boys under age could be far better employed, or nerhaps better off not employed at all, than to be engaged in selling even beer and wines.— Cbarioite Observer. On The Record. "When we began the publication of Tfie Record.” says Editor Frank Stroud of the Davie paper by that name, in. taking -note of the fact that he is starting his 39th year in this capacity, “ there wasn’t a foot of concrete toad in the county, not a brick school house, no automo- blies, electric lights and but a Iimi ted telephone service.” Now it appears that Mocksville has “ grown from a country village to a live town of at least 2,000 po pulation, with up to date stores [they might advertise a little bet ter, however, eh, Fiank?] electric lighting, modern theatre, water and sewerage, fine school buildings- churches and homes, together with hard surface streets and sidewalks, garages and hotels and many other improvements ” We wonder if Bro. Stroud in cludes in these “many other im provements ” the increasing pro pojtion of the populace which votes the democratic ticket. Frank had edited his paper 25 years, we think, never missing an opportunity to ex press the conviction that democrats were utterly unsuited to carry on the government of town, county, state or nation, before he was re presented by a democrat at Raleigh Did better roads, school bouses, electric lights, garages and such bring political enlightenment or was it vice versa, or neither? Of The Record’s own contribu tion its editor modestly says: “ We have had many 'ups and downs, mostly downs, since July, 1907. wheu we arrived in Mocksville and took over The Record. We have made many mistakes but we hope they were offset to some extent, at least, by the good things the paper has helped to accomplish.” We like that, for we believe there isn’t a foot of concrete or other hatd surface in Davie county that hasn’t something of The Record in it. It is well enough that it should have, for The Record is made of durable, wear-resisting material. Particularly do we recommend it Ior what ails democrats—and Re publicans—who promise more than they try to perform. And we’d like to join with Bro. Stroud in his thanks to the patrons who have helped him keep turning out a neighborly, country weekly, a trifle partisan, it is true; but approach ing always the business of living front the viewpoint of one who is committed to the belief that his own community is th e ■ first thing that counts with an ordinary citi zen.—Greensboro News. We take off our old hat and thank The News for the nice things said about us. The only mistake The News made was in thinking thal all the good things came to Davie after a democrat represented us in Raleigh. . The more enlightened the Davie folks become, the larger the .Republican majority. Only twice’ in 55 years has our county so far forgot herself as to go demo cratic—in 1922 and again in 1930. There are some New Dealers left in Davie but mighty few democrats Three Strikes Are Oat. When Mr. Farley remarked a few weeks ago that “ the court Is in the bag,” he made one of his usual errors Some, years ago be wired to a Democratic nominee out West, con gratulating him on bis “ election.” But it turned out the nominee was defeated. He made the same silly break when Wiring Congratulations about twp years ago to a nominee in some Northern State. Now he'makes a “court fool” of himself in his bag business. In old times every king nad a “court fool,” so Mr. Roosevelt is well provided as long as Mr. Farley talks. The Record is only $1.00.

A very successful and pleasant occasion was enjoyed at the third annual Fry family reunion held at the home ot Wes McKnigbt, near the s'te of the old Ashley Fry homestead in Davie county. Sun day, August 1st. A good time was enjoyed by ap proxitnately 135 members of the family and triends. A sumptuous picnic dinner was served, after which the following officers were elected: B. H. Fry, president; Lorcy I. Fry. secretary treasurer, both of Winsfon Salem, and Mrs' E C. Howard, of Davie county, was ' elected historian. The next reunion will be bald Aug. 2, 1938 at a place to be selected later. Editor’s Circulation. An editor was dying — they thought. His friends, the few Ie had, were around bis bed weeping. Not so much about his dying, but how his family was to live. The doctor tipped in, He felt of bis pulse. He put his ear to the editor’s heart, or where it should be. The doctor drew a wise, sympathetic breath; and, in ft low and very pro fessional tone, said: “ Poor man! He will soon be dead. His circu Iation is about all gone!” The dy ing editor jumped up and yelled: ’You ate a liar;'we have the largest circulation in the county.” The doctor took what is called “pelle gra,” and has not been heard of since.—Ex.

Words of Thomas E. Watson. (From The Wilkes County, Ga.. News ) On tbe west side of the capitol in Atlanta, Ga., there stands a life sized broDze stature of Thomas E. Watson with hand uplifted in speaking pose. -On the north side of that stature appear the words quoted from the writings of that, ablest and greatest of Georgians, as follows: Democratic institutions exist bv reason of their virtue; if ever they perish it will be when you have for gotten the Past, become indifferent to the Present and utterly reckless as to the Future. . Beybnddoubt democratic institu tions have lost their virtue in America and they are perishing be fore the very eyes of this generation who have forgotten the Past, become most indifferent to the Present, and are utterly reckleBS as to tbe Future. Court Packing. The. issues in the court packing proposal are so simple that a five- vear-old child could be made to understand them. The framers of our Constitution knew the history of the past, and were acquainted with the defects of them and-prior existing governments that made dictatorship possible and the suppression of the liberties of the people. To make impossible the rise of the dictator under our insti tutions. and to safeguard the liber ties of the individual and the right if minorities they created not a de mocratic government. but a repre sentative Republic. They struck upon what is known as the balance of power in government. They created a Government of three de partments. coordinate and independ. ent of each other, namely. Execu- cutive. Legislative, and Judicial. The Judicial Department was made indipendent by every possible de vice, and by being vested with the “Judical. Power” of the nation, was mecifitally empowered to hold other departments within the limits of the powers conferred upon them by the Constitution. The Supreme Court is therefore the barrier that stands between tbe people and the infringement of their rights and dictatorial authority by th e Executive a n d Legislative branches. Now the proposal to pack the Su preme Court has for its avowed ob ject the descruction of its independ ence so that the President and the Congress may exercise autocratic and dictatorial powers, free from con stitutional restraints. The effect of such a measure will be to utterly destroyed our fo-m of Government, and subordinate the rights of minorities and the liberties of the people to the arbitrary will of the President and of the Congress. Should the measure go through the men responsible for it will go down in history as traitors to their institutions and to the liberties of the people, and the welfare of their country. The writer helped to fight the great war to make the world safe for democracy. What a mockery! And how/ vain and futile it all teems now in the light of this inter nal attack upon our Government, which i 3 the only truly democratic Government in all the world today. —Junius, in Washington Herald. ' Our President. It looks like Roosevelt is taking advantage of the situation and in tends to get all the Roosevelts mar ried before his term of office expires. When he first took office his only daughter was married to a New York broker. This was not high falutin enough for “Miss Eleanor” and Anna, the daughter, promptly got a divorce and married one of the White House newspaper men who later connected up with the Hearst millions in he news aper game. James; the “Crown Prince" and eld est son, was already married and there has been no hint that he was dissatisfied with his bargain, Elliott, tbe second son got tired of his Phila delphia wife and divorced her and in a week married a wealthy Texas wo man. Franklin D. Jr., tbe third son as is known was married .recently to one of the rich DuPonts and now it is rumored that John the baby bov of the family, who is not yet 21 years >ld, is playing around Anne Clark, daughter of a wealthy widew of a Boston banker Like Cam Morrison when he was Governor of North Car- ’ olina they all have an eye for the money and it appears witq their prestige that tbey do not fail to land the prize.

S incerely y o u rs, B rooke B ey b u m L ookout H ouse He dropped the note and frowned at the red carnations in a crystal vase on his desk. He lived over the instant he had seen a girl go down in the street, had seen a speeding car almost upon her. How h'ad he managed to save her? Colorless and dazed as she was, he bad thought her the loveliest thing he ever had seen as she looked up at him. As for a second he had stead ied her in his arms, his brain had fought against her attraction and the live warmth of her body had prompted him to growl at her. No wonder she had been angry, and no wonder — he admitted honestly — Mary Amanda Dane had been taken in by her. Well, one victim in the family was enough. She shouldn’t hypnotize him. He drew letter paper toward him and picked up a pen. He’d settle this question of friendship be tween them for good and all. little schemer! Dear Miss Reyburn, he wrote.As he hesitated as to how to word his regrets, another picture of the girl as she had appeared between the hangings in Stewart’s office flashed in & mind with startling clarity. He must get along with that note. His frowning regard of the opening door changed to a welcoming smile as a head poked in. “Come in, Jed, What’s on the lit tle mind now?” Jed Stewart perched on a corner of the flat desk. He pulled one of the red carnations from the vase and drew the stem through the but tonhole of the lapel of his checked coat. “I’m taking a lady to tea, need a pcsey to make me look like a mil lion, so combined utility with busi ness and came here. Knew you al ways had them.” “What’s the business? Jt you’ve been sent again to ask me to take half of that—” “Hold everything; that’s a ll washed up. The matter has not been mentioned to me since the day you and Brooke Reyburn met in my of fice. I guess you killed her interest in you by your infernal sar casm:“ ‘Hope you’ll enjoy the house and fortune, Miss Reyburn. Happy land ings! Perhaps I’d better say, safe landings,' sez you.” “Oh, you think so? Read that.” Jed Stewart frowned over the note Mark Trent tossed to him. He read it through, reread it Looked at his friend. “Going?” “Going! What do you think?” Mark answered a buzzer. “Who? Mrs. Gregory. Of course I’ll see her.” He explained hurriedly to Stewart. “It’s an old friend of Aunt Mary Amanda’s. She sailed for France a week before my aunt died. She’s a martinet one of those terrible women who don’t care where the lash of their tongue falls, and a confirmed matchmaker.“This is mighty good of you, Mrs. Gregory, and it’s a clear case of thought transference; not ten min utes ago I was thinking of you.” A wave of feeling menaced the clarity of Mark’s voice as he bent over the white-gloved hand of the woman who had entered the office. She had been a vital part of the.life at Lookout House which now seemed so. irretrievably far behind him. A smile tugged at his lips as he observed that the floppy wide- brimmed picture hat was the model C B m iIie L orliig, W NtT S erv ice, * she had worn since as a boy he had admired the deeply waved blonde hair it shadowed. Thehairwasstill faultlessly marcelled, but it was snow white. She settled into a chair with the same rustle of taffeta he remem bered, and adjusted a diamond brooch of a size and brilliance to make a discriminating thief avidly flex supple fingers. She peered up at him through a jeweled lorgnette, with eyes once a brilliant blue, now the color of faded larkspur. “Handsome as ever, aren’t you, Mark, in spite of the way those two women let.. you down. First that wife, with a grande amoureuse com plex, and then Mary Amanda. I don’t wonder that your hair at the temples looks as if it had been touched by frosty fingers, if you are only thirty. Who’s he?” . She waved her lorgnette toward Stewart, who, back to the room, apparently had been absorbed in a study of the calf-bound books on the shelf.“Stewart, of the firm of Stewart and Stewart, attorneys. Jed, come here. I want to present you to Mrs. Gregory, my first love.” “Hmp! Flatterer! You always could coax my heart out of my breast with your wonderful smile and your voice, Mark.” She peered “Handsome as Ever, Aren’t You?” through her lorgnette as Jed Stew art took the hand she extended with the air of a sovereign. “Stewart and Stewart! You were Mary Amanda Dane’s la w y e r, weren’t you?” The contempt in her voice deep ened the color of Jed Stewart’s Al ready sufficiently ruddy face. “I had that honor.” “Honor! Do you call it an honor to help cheat her nephew out of his inheritance?” “Really, Mrs. Gregory, Jed can’t be held responsible—’* “Hold your tongue, Mark. I’ve started, and now I intend to get rid of a few things that have been boil ing and sizzling inside me since the day I heard that Mary Amanda had cut you out in favor of that fashion adviser she’d gone crazy about.” “Forget it, Mrs. Gregory. I don’t need the money— “Of course you need it. No one has money enough now because no one has a sense of financial security. Didn’t you take over all the lame ducks as your share of your grand father’s property so that your aunt wouldn’t be worried by them? Aren’t you making that ex-wife of yours an allowance? Mary Amanda told me. What’s she been doing since she left you for that Frendi count? It was a French count year, wasn’t it? They were buzzing round rich girls thick as wasps about a broiled live lobster.” “She has married, I understand.” “Married! After she divorced the count! The third time! Getting to be a habit, isn’t it? She isn’t entitled to a penny. I don’t wonder your aunt was furious when she found out that you were giving her money. Per haps that’s the real reason she cut. you off, though I thought it was be cause she didn’t believe in divorce; on that subject she was stuck back in the eighties. However, that wasn’t what I came' here to talk about. I just wanted to tell you that if I had known what was in that will I witnessed two days before I sailed for Europe—it was just a week before she died—now, Stew art, don’t look at me with your jaw dropped as if I were a moron with a Medusa complex—of course, I know that a person isn't supposed to know the contents of the will she witnesses, but I still say that had I known that your aunt was leaving her money away from you, Mark, I would have cut off my hand before I signed.” Mark Trent’s heart stopped and. galloped .furiously on. A will wit nessed a week before Mary Aman da’s death! Ihe will which had been probated was of a date , two months prior. As he opened sud denly stiffened lips to reply, he met Jed Stewart’s warning eyes, eyes which seemed like flames in a chalky face. Jed was as amazed as he. Jed began to speak. “I. was fond of. my client Mrs. Dane, and your reference to her last will brought back a picture ..of the delicate woman in her wheel chair with—” “With that disreputable parrot swearing in the cage behind her. The bird was there when I witnessed the will; I didn’t know but that she would insist upon MicawberrS being the other witness, but she called in Ciotilde and Henri Jacques, it was her nurse-companion’s day off. If I had to choose between the parrot and that French butler as my co resident on a desert island, I’d take Mr. Micawber. After they went out, Mary Amanda and I were alone for a few moments in the firelight. It was the last time I saw her—” Mrs. Gregory dabbed her reddening eyes with a lace-edged handkerchief. She straightened, demanded an grily: “Why am I slobbering like that? I love life! I wouldn’t give up my place in this problem-logged world for all the starry halos and golden harps you could offer. Thinking of your aunt set me off. The last few times I saw her I had noticed that she seemed distrait, as if something were worrying her. I’ve wondered since if she would have told me what she had done if I had not had to hurry away. I called Henri be fore I left. As I looked back, she seemed white and exhausted. As I drove away I saw that girl driv ing in.” “That girl! You mean—’? “The Reyburn girl, of course, Stewart. You ought to get a posi tion somewhere as an echo. I’d met her several times and I liked her too before I knew what she had done to Mark. She made me for get that I was old enough to be her grandmother. Charming man ners. Well, I must run along.” “Thank you for your interest in me, Mrs. Gregory. I’m going down to your car with you. Wait for me, Jed.” The woman turned on the thresh old. “I hope, if ever you draw an other will cutting out a rightful heir, young man, you’ll be swished in boiling oil.” Stewart grinned. “Not boiling oil, madam, not boiling; couldn’t you reduce the temperature a degree?” She smiled. “We’ll see, we’ll see. You’re an engaging boy, if you are a poor lawyer. I’m to spend the winter in my country house— not far from the Dane-Trent pro)* erty—everybody’s doing it this year. Motor down some Sunday for lunch.” “Sure, I'll come. Meanwhile,- would you mind not telling anyone that you witnessed Mrs. Dane’s wffl?” “You don't think I'm proud of my part in that robbery, do you? I wouldn’t have mentioned it now, but I wanted to square myself with Mark.” Mark Trent’s mind was in a tu mult as he Chatted with her in the corridor, inquired for her health on the way down in the elevator, told her that he thought of her rich fruit cake whenever he attended a wed ding. She looked up at him sharply as they waited at the curb. “Then you still attend weddings?” “Why not? I rather like them.” “After your experience, I should think you would shun them. Ever see Lola?” “No.” “Here’s my car. That’s Dominique at the wheel. Remember him, don’t you?1 He drove my horses before I had an automobile, and the only thing-I have against him is that he recommended his friends th e Jacques to your aunt. She made so much of Henri that he got dic tator-minded and tried to run the whole place.”Jed Stewart was walking the floor when he entered his office. He stopped abruptly. “Well,” he demanded, “did she talk any more?” . “Not about the will. Why the dickens didn’t you ask questions?” “Didn’t dare. Don’t you see, Mark? Boy, don’t you understand? Someone has snitched that second will she witnessed.” “Did you draw it?” “Never heard of it. Perhaps your aunt had an acute attack of re morse. I argued with her, as much as a.lawyer can argue, against cut ting you out; she wouldn’t come to me about a new will. Didntt Mrs. Gregory say. that she had been dis trait the last few times they had been together? She thinks it was be cause Mrs. Dane was making up her mind to disinherit you; you and I know that the will to that ef fect already had been drawn.” “You passed up a grand chance to cross-examine her, Jed.” “Didn’t dare. She thinks the will she witnessed is the one probated; doesn’t know that if it had been she would have been summoned to. prove her signature. We mustn’t let a suspicion of this second, will get out. Where is it?” “She said the Reyburn girl drove in as she left the place. Do you suppose Aunt Mary Amanda told her what was in it and that she—” Jed Stewart stopped his restless pacing.

PRIESTHOOD W ITH what blindness do we attempt to guide our children’s footsteps in life, so often forcing on them an ambition of our own! It might be laughable were it not so seriously in opposition to the man's own desires, but Josef Stalin was forced to attend the Tiflis Greek Orthodox seminary, because his mother wanted him to be a priest. Young Stalin, legally named Josei Vissarionovitcb Djygashvili, did not want to be a priest Born in 1879, Josef was educated in the village school of Gori, Rus sia. In his young days he was a fighter who bore many a black eye, and he was somewhat of a bully, although he always displayed intel ligence ar.d character. At the seminary, he led the other students in plotting against the authorities, and local railway workers met in his room. Eventually, he w as' dis missed in disgrace. At the age of seventeen, he joined the under ground dock workers of Batum in a riot and, when the terrorist Bol sheviks were formed became active in their movement. While attend ing a Bolshevik party conference In Stockholm, in 1905, he met Lenin for the first time. Josef Stalin was arrested a half a dozen times, and exiled from Rus sia the last time. He changed his name regularly and . returned again and again. Wito Lenin and Trotsky, he took over the government of Rus sia in October, 1917. ARer Lenin died in 1924, Stalin supporters exiled Trotsky and through ruthless executions made Stalin dictator. Josef- Stalin’s life is hardly the kind of biography you would ex pect from a boy who studied for the priesthood. • • • JOAN CRAWFORD WAS A TELEPHONE OPERATOR JOAN CRAWFORD’S life is an example of a girl who had talent, ambition and enthusiasm, but who might never have risen beyond an ordinary occupation without the necessary confidence to keep try ing.Joan Crawford was bora about 1907 in San Antonio, Texas, daugh ter of a theater manager. Most of her play hours were spent playing “show,” and she danced her way through many struggling years be fore a real opportunity came her way. At fourteen, Joan went,to work as a telephone operator in Lawton, Okla. Them she was sent to a convent in Kansas City, where she bad to earn her way by acting as a kitchen maid and waiting on tables. ARer leaving college, Joan Crawford found a job in a Kansaa -ioJ City department store as a stock girl at $10 per week, working dur ing the day and practicing dancing at night.Finally a theatrical agent found a job for Joan in a show which failed a month later, leaving her stranded 300 miles from home.

W ITH Supreme court bill recom mitted to the senate judiciary committee, a new substitute bill for reform of only the lower courts due to be reported out of the commit tee, and a new senate majority lead er selected to take the late Senator Robinson’s place, ihe overwhelming sentiment of the members of the seventy-fifth congress was to pack up their bags and get as far away from Washington as possible. Even measures which President Roosevelt had insisted bear the “must” label were being shoved aside with dispatch, as Vice Presi dent Garner sought to heal the party wounds inflicted during the bitter court battle and salvage as much of the President’s legislation as he could. Thefirsttobe buried was the new AAA and “ever-nor mal granary” bill; the senate agri culture committee shelved it until the next session. The committee authorized James P. Pope, Idaho Democrat and co-sponsor of the bill,, to prepare a senate resolution to lay the plans for regional hearings on a comprehensive farm program during the remainder of the sum mer and report back in January. It seemed certain that the Presi dent’s legislation for governmental reorganization would be left over until next session when the record of three months’ hearings by the joint congressional committee was made public. It was revealed that committee members have not even come close to agreement on any of the main points involved. Majority Leader Barkley said that the White House still wanted the wages and hours bill, the Wagner low-cost housing bill and a judiciary bill passed, as well as legislation to plug tax loopholes. The Wagner bill, meanwhile, was reported out of 1 - committee, and it was expected the senate would act upon it quickly. It would set up a federal housing au thority with power to issue $700,-. 000,000 in bonds over three years to make loans for “low-cost” hous ing construction. 'Glory Be to God!' D YING for weeks, the scheme to add to the number of justices of the Supreme court finally choked its last gasp and left this world. On a roll-call vote the United States senate voted to recommit the Rob inson substitute for the President’s original bill to the judiciary com mittee. The vote was 70 to 20, the most crushing defeat the Presi- . dent’s legislation has yet suffered at the hands of a house of congress.In an agreement made at a ses sion of the judiciary committee ear lier, it had been decided to let the opposition senators write their own bill, an innocuous measure for “ju- ' dicial reform” not dealing in any way with the Supreme court. Sena tor Barkley, the new majority lead er, attempted to save the Presi dent’s face by having the bill left on the calendar, but he never had a chance. When the roll-call came, even Senators Ashurst of Arizona and Minton of Indiana, two of the Supreme court bill’s chief support ers, voted to recommit. “Glory.be to God!” Said-Sen. Hi ram Johnson (Rep., Calif.) when the results of the roll call were made known. The applause that bellowed forth from the senators and gallery alike left no doubt that . the veteran from California had voiced the sentiments of the great majority. *_ Madrid's Moat of Blood y 1T 1HE Spanish government was de- -*■ fending > Madrid , against the in surgent forces in the most terrible battle of the entire .civil war and the most important It couldn’t last; it was too furious. The whole loyalist cause apparently rested on resisting this; the most vicious at tack the rebels had yet made. Gen. Francisco Franco’s army, under his personal supervision, was making advances, but at such loss of men that the cost might be too great. Insurgents stormed loyalist en trenchments directly in the face of point blank machine guns. Losses were sa terrible that thousands of wounded lay without food or water among thousands already dead and decaying In the hot sun. Infantry, tanks, cavalry and artillery were supplemented by airplane bombers'. In one salient 250,000 men were fighting, including the cream of both armies. The loyalist position was admittedly the most serious of the whole war, and upon the govern ment’s ability to withhold against the attack rested the fate of the best units in its army. It was re ported that 20,000 Italian tropps had joined the rebels for the battle. While the Madrid conflict was in full sway, the insurgents sprang a surprise air attack on Barcelona. In the early dawn advance planes dropped flares which lighted up the city. Then came additional planes, dropping bombs on the easy target and turning machine guns on citi zens who attempted to flee. At least 65 persons were killed and 150 in jured. Is This the Beginning? A S JAPAN brought airplanes into action for the first time since the new Sino-Japanese crisis devel oped, and threw all available strength into a campaign against the Chinese Twenty-ninth army in North China, it Was feared that the expected long Japanese military of fensive had begun. While it was dif ficult to assimilate many conflicting and confusing reports, there was good ground for the belief that all attempts at a truce had failed, for a while at least The Japanese airmen rained bombs upon Chinese military bar racks around Peiping, and pressed infantry and artillery attacks along the Peiping-Tientsin railway and the highway to the sea. Entrance of 200 Japanese marines into the Chinese Chapei district of Shanghai sent 20,- 000 men, women and children fleeing into the international settlement in search of protection. It was ru mored a Chinese mob had killed a Japanese sailor, provoking Japa nese reprisal. : Meanwhile the threat of real war continued to hover as the Chinese army refused to leave positions in and near Peiping, in what Japan considered violation of the Tientsin peace agreement. —-K— Barkley, 38; Harrison, 37 C:EN. WILLIAM H. DIETERICH ■ of Illinois changed his mind at the last minute and today Alben W. Barkley, hard-fisted, blustering sen ator, from Kentucky, is the majority lead er of the United States senate, suc ceeding the late Jos eph T. Robinson of Arkansas. The vote was 38 for Barkley to 37 for Sen. Pat Harrison of Missis sippi. The conservative Democrats in the senate had been as sured of' 38 votes, enough to elect Harrison, on the eve of the secret election. But that night Dieterich, apparently under pressure from the Democratic party orgianization in Illinois, begged Har rison to release his pledged vote, in order that the President’s personal choice might Uead the party in the. senate. 'The slim victory by no means patched the obvious party rift. Even the administration admitted that the President’s Supreme court bill was virtually dead even then. Vice Pres ident Garner visited Sen. Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, leader of the opposition forces, and invited the opposition to write its own bill. what VicePresident Gamer thinks about: Irvin S. Cobb Western Hostelries. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.— They have mighty fine hotels in this town. I’ve stayed at several of them and friends of mine have been put out of some of the others. And once I enjoyed a fire scare here when the alarm, at 3:30 a. m., brought to the lobby a swarm of moving picture actors with out any makeup on and not much else. This was in the era of the silent films, but you wouldn’t have dreamed it to hear the remarks of an - hysterical lady star when she discovered that her chow had been for gotten. The current husband also was temporarily miss ing but she was comparatively calm about that She probably figured a husband could be picked up almost any time whereas darling little Ming Poo had a long pedigree and rep resented quite a financial, investment and anyhow was a permanent fixture in her life.Through the strike here, the trav eling public seemed to make out. Maybe visitors followed the old southern custom—stop with kinfolks. Think, though, how great would have been the suffering had the strike occurred during prohibition days when transient guests might have perished of thirst without bright uniformed lads to bring them first-aid packages in the handy hip- pocket sizes! Bellhops qualified as Ufesavers those times.• • » Humans in the Raw. A S I behold vast numbers of fel low b e in g s strolling the beaches, yes, ,and the public thor oughfares too, while wearing as. few clothes as possible—and it seems to be possible to wear ,very few in deed—I don’t know whether to ad mire them for their courage or sym pathize with them in their suffering or deplore their inability to realize! that they’d be easier on the eye if they’d quit trying to emulate the raw oyster—which never has been pretty to look upon and, generally speaking, is an acquired taste any how.For a gentleman who ordinarily bundles himself in heavy garments clear up to his Adam’s apple, this warm weather strip-act entails a lot of preliminary torture. At first ,our gallant exhibitionist resembles a forked stalk of celery bleached out in the cellar. Soon he is one large red blot on the landscape, with fat water blisters spangling his brow until he looks as if he were wearing a chaplet of Malaga grapes. In the next stage he peels like the wall paper on an Ohio valley parlor after flood time.* « e Destructive Hired Help. SOMEBODY found a stained glass window in an English church dating back to 685 A. D., but still intact And from the ruins of a Roman villa, they’ve dug out a mar ble figure of Apollo—the one the mineral water was named after—in a perfect state although 2,000 years old. These discoveries are especially interesting to this family as tending to show that hired help isn’t what it must have been in the ancient time. We once had a maid'of the real old Viking stock who, with the best intentions on earth, broke every thing she laid finger on. Moreover, she could stand flatfooted in the middle of a large room and cause treasured articles of virtu, such as souvenirs, of the S t Louis World’s fair and the china urn I won for superior spelling back in 1904 at the Elks’ carnival, to leap to the floor and be smashed to atoms. She didn’t have to touch them or even go near them. I think she did it by animal magnetism or capillary at traction or something of that nature. VThe first time we saw the Winged Victory, Mrs. Cobb and I decided it must have been an ancestor of Helsa who tried to dust it—with the disastrous results familiar to all lov ers of classic statuary. * * * The Reaping Season. CERTAIN crops may not have done so well,, due to weather conditions, or, as some die-hard Republicans, would probably con tend, because of New Deal control. But, on the. other hand, hasn’t it been a splendid ripening season for sit-downs, walk-outs, shut-ups, lock outs and picket lines? It makes me think of the little story the late. Myra Kelly used to tell of the time when she was a pub lic school teacher on New York’s East Side. She was questioning her class of primary-grade pupils, touching on the callings of their re spective parents. She came to one tiny sad-eyed little girl, shabby and thin , and shy. “Rosie,” she asked, “at what does your father work?” “Mein poppa he don’t never work, Teacher,” said- Rosie. “Doesn’t he do anything at all?” ilOh, yessum." “Well, what does he do?” “He strikes.”IRVIN S. COBB. . © -W N U Service. ^ L National Topics Interpreted by William Bruclart KaUoitat Press BnlUtns W**Mn*ton, D. C. Washington.—There are many oc casions on record where several im- portant is s u e s aEver-Normal have engaged the Crahar y” attention of con gress and fre quently one of these issues has aroused such bitterness and devel oped such a controversy that it overshadowed all others. That has been the case in recent weeks dur ing which President Roosevelt’s plan to add six justices of his own choosing to the Supreme court of the United States completely sub ordinated everything else. But the crushing defeat received by the President through refusal of the vast majority of Democrats in congress to support his court re organization scheme suddenly has directed attention to other major questions. Outstanding among these is Secretary Wallace’s farm bill and the so-called wages and hours bill which is claimed to contain com plete protection for the laboring classes. It is of the farm bill that I shall write now since it is much more imminent as far as congres sional action is concerned than is the case with the wages and hours proposition. The basis of Secretary Wallace’s program is what he calls the “ever- normal granary.” There are other provisions included in the bill but the idea of a maintained supply of farm products is the heart of the plan. Now, it seems that if the words “ever-normal granary” mean any thing, they must be accepted as meaning a continuity of supply at a level which government agents ar bitrarily determine as the proper rate of accumulation or sale of such supplies. The house of representatives has been muddling along with the ques tion for several months. It has been under much pressure from Secretary Wallace and his asso ciates and from some of the farm leaders whom the secretary has convinced of the value of his scheme. The farm Ieaderg as a whole are far from unanimous on the proposition despite the fact that Secretary Wallace and the tremen dous propaganda machine wjthin tthe Department of Agriculture has been exceedingly active in an effort •to “sell” the plan to the country as a ,.whole and thereby bring addi tional pressure on congress. ., I shall not attempt to give all of the details of the Wallace proposal here. It is too complicated for ex planation in the limited space avail able. Indeed, I have found quite a number of members of the house of representatives who are unable to give a complete explanation of how Uie plan would work—and they ad mit it. It is a piece of legislation that must be complicated in order to accomplish things its proponents claim for it and my observation of government agencies leads me to the conclusion it'is so complicated that the chances of it succeeding are almost nil. • * * In the first instance, as I have said, the ever-normal granary idea comprehends a constant level of supplies. At first blush, it would seem that storage of wheat or com or cotton or other farm products in a big crop year to be sold in years when crops are small should work out to keep prices at a satisfactory level. That is the theory. On the other hand, in times past this same sort of scheme has worked out to depress prices instead of maintain ing them and the farmers have been the losers. Included in this legislation are provisions for benefit payments to farmers under certain, conditions when the price level falls below parity. This injects into the prob lem again the influence of the gen eral price level of all commodities in the United States whether from the farm or from the factory and it also forces upon the United States additional influence wielded by the level of prices in foreign countries where the law of supply and demand continues to operate without impossible .amendment at govern ment’s dictation. No doubt, the Wallace proposal would boost prices at present. This is true because we have had sev eral short crop years and there is no surplus now. - But with indica tions that the current wheat crop, for example, is going to be excep tionally large, it is entirely possible that the nation as a whole will have a surplus of wheat this fall. In ad dition, there will be wheat crops grown in other countries as usual. Some of our wheat must be sold in foreign markets and compete with wheat grown in Russia or in South America. It is easy to see, therefore, that the lack of a wheat surplus in this country is exceed ingly temporary. • * • The ever-normal granary, if it works as the theorists claim, would . „ ’ ' store or-keep offIt Souada 0f the market thatGreat portion of the crop which is not need ed for current consumption. That sounds fine. sGreat users of .wheat ro»«t buy their supplies far ahead. If they do not take this precaution, they stand a chance always of find* Jng their bins empty and are faced with the necessity of closing their mills. It is this feature that causes long range buyers to resort to what is called hedging. That is, they, sell on option nearly as much as they buy on contract. They are thus able to offset losses whether the price of wheat goes up or whether it goes down and the losses or the gains are distributed throughout the in dustry. It is the only way by which the industry can protect itself. Mr. Wallace’s scheme proposes doing away with that sort of thing, not directly but through the effect of the ever-normal granary. In other words, the net result of the ever- normal granary would be for the govemhient to hold these stocks and feed them into the market as de mand for supplies requires. This sounds feasible and it probably would be except for the fact that we have no means of controlling production in the other wheat producing countries, and I repeat that I am using wheat as illustrative of all farm products. In fact, the Wal lace plan provides no control of pro duction in this country and that question is vital. As far as I can see, nature is going to operate to give us rain or give us drouth in accordance with the judgment of the Higher Power. No human is go ing to be very influential in that regard. To get back to the question of the price level, it should be said that while the Wallace plan provides what appears to be ah insurance against fluctuation, it is more likely to have the opposite effect. Be cause of the influence of world prices, great storehouses of wheat in the country will hang over the market like an epidemic. No one can tell when it will strike and since markets are made up of individuals who are human, a portion of - the markets " is always going to • be frightened by the uncertainty of when government wheat will be of fered for sale. It is a perfectly human reaction because it involves the pocketbooks and humans nat urally want to buy as cheaply as they can and sell as high as they can.• • • One of the things that happened in the administration of President _ . Hoover t h a t isTnea Once sure to be remem- and Fmled bered is the utter failure of his farm policy. That farm policy centered at one time in what was called the Federal Farm board; If you will go back a few years and recall the op erations of the Federal Farm board, I think you will agree that the things it undertook to do were exactly comparable to, if not exactly the same as, the scheme set up by Sec retary Wallace in his ever-normal granary idea. \The only difference that I can see—and I watched the operations of the farm board from close at hand—is a change in the name. It must be admitted that the phrase ever-normal granary has a pretty sound. But when it comes to a question of an attractive ex pression, one that is soothing and one that should convince us all that every problem is solved, I sub mit those favorites which Mr. Wal lace used to use when Professor Tug- well was with him in the Department of Agriculture. Who does not re call the “more abundant life,” and who has forgotten the “doctrine of scarcity to assure plenty?” As far as I know, neither! the house nor the senate committee on agriculture has held hearings on this ever-normal granary phase of the Wallace legislation. TOus far, the discussion has been largely on questions involving benefits and subsidies and means of marketing. No attention has been given to the ever-normal granary threat, and I regard it as a menace. If this discussion were devoted to. only the consumer phase of our economic life, I think I should be selfish enough to urge enactment of the Wallace plan. I believe I can see where the ever-normal granary idea will make bread cheaper, where it will. make cotton textile goods cheaper and when cotton is cheaper other textiles are cheaper, and where other food and neces saries of life that have their origin on the • farm will be reduced in price by such a legislative policy. But that is not my idea of a sound economic structure. It is just as necessary for the consumer to pay his fair share toward the mainte nance of a living agriculture as it is for farmers to pay their fair share to a living commerce and industry of whatever kind it may be. The senate Democrats have elect ed a new leader to succeed the late Senator Joe Robinson, of Arkansas. He is Senator Alban Barkley, of Kentucky. In a previous column I mentioned the split among the sen ate Democrats and suggested.that .it would be difficult to replace Senator Robinson because of the qualities he had'in holding the various factions together in the senate. It was not a forecast; it was a statement of fact. 6 W e sto B N ew spaper V oion.

No less-than three of the most fascinating screen sirens are currently holding forth in the midst of Russian magnificence. There is Marlene Dietrich with Robert Donat in “Without Armor” for instance. Miss Dietrich, and Rob ert Donat make a thrilling roman tic pair. Another of the Russian cycle is “The Emperor’s Candle sticks” in which Luise Rainer and William Powell appear as rival spies of Russia and Poland. Last, hut by no means least, particularly for music, lovers, is “Two Who Dared,” with Anna Sten, who has been too long absent from our screens. At last George Raft is out of seclu sion and he is so relieved. For months he has had to go without a hair cut for his role in “Souls at Sea” and to his eternal dis comfiture his shoul der-length hair was daily waved with a curling iron. He didn’t dare face the mugs who are his best friends looking like that The day the picture was fin ished he celebrated with a very tight . haircut and smeared on the vaseline lavishly. George Raft Ever since a court forced Mae West to break down and admit that she really was married twenty-six years ago to one Frank Waliaee, she has been In seclusion. Couldn’t stand having people stare at her intently looking for wrinkle's, while they counted on their fingers—eight een and twenty-six make forty-four. ■ — In those odd moments when they are not discussing Mae West’s age, Hollywoodians are raving over the beautiful newcomer, Zorina, who is under contract to Sam Goldwyn. She is an enchanting young woman about nineteen years old. Born in Norway, not far from the Arctic Circle, she went to school in Berlin, joined the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe company when she was visiting in Mexico City, and because of her two years association with this troupe now has a slight Russian accent Rudy Vallee spends many of his evenings nowadays at a night club in New York where his friend Jackie Osterman is making a comeback after a long stretch of hard luck. Vallee is a great story teller, and one of his favorites concerns Jack Benny. Vallee whole-heartedly ad mires the drastic way in which Jack Benny treated a hostile vaudeville audience years ago. Benny came out on one side of the stage merrily saying “Hello folks”, only to face a bunch of tough-looking ruffians who glowered at him. Continuing right on across the stage, he exited from the stage saying “Good-by folks” and walked right on out of the theater never to return. Martha Raye made the hit of her life and smashed all box-office rec ords making personal appearances at the Paramount theater in New York recently. The audience simply could :not get enough of her. They surged down to the footlights when her act was over, shot questions at her, begged her to sing one more song, and then just stood and yelled when her voice threatened to gives out. — * — Frankie Masters, NBC star and band maestro says “it pays, to work your way through col lege.” Frankie start ed out to earn his way through the com merce school at the University of Indiana by strumming his banjo in the band. Soon the band be came more profitable than commerce and he had engagements at hotels and leading sight dubs in Chica go and other big cities.

C. is allergic to ragweed pollen. His protests to the doctor that he has not been near any ragweed need not confuse us, for we know how the pollen.got to him. The doctor explains it to him, too.Now the doctor orders injections of the proper type of pollen vaccine into the blood. Next year, now that the patient’s allergy is known, he will be given minute, but increas ing doses of the injection, starting in February and continuing for a few weeks until it is thought he should be immune when the season comes. It does not always work out that way, and sometimes daily in jections during the season itself do not help. Different pollens do their dastard ly work at different times of the year in different sections. In the eastern and central states, for instance, Jime grass causes trouble around the beginning of that month; in early July it is Timothy hay, late H a y F e v e r I s N o L o n g e r S m h a M y s t e r y t o M e d i c a l S c ie n c e Skin Sensitization Test Can Now Find What Allergy Is Troubling You By WILLIAM C. UTLET KA-CHOOO-OO-OO! Ha-ha-ha-WISH-eeeeeeee! Sniffle, sniffle, wheeze—gib be a haggichiff, quig! Hey, hey, it’s the good old summer time and the hay fever season is open. “Why, oh, why, do I have to go through this every year?”is the wail of the hay fever sufferer, and well it might be for there is'hardly an affliction so relentless in its unwelcome annual visits. The answer to the victim's cry is' that he is allergic to something in the air, probably the pollen from a’ plant or weed. What particular plant it is determines whether its pollen rides the air waves in May, June, July or September. Time used to be that hay fever victims, when they began to sneeze, their eyes started to water and their noses to sniffle, simply had to pack up, leave home and make for the North Woods or the resorts at Charlevoix and Mackinac, island in Michigan where the air is compar atively free from dust and pollen. While this made an excellent ex cuse for a vacation it was a con siderable expense and often a great inconvenience.Fortunately today medical science has made such strides that hay fe ver can now be treated with a pretty fair degree of success right at home. The big task is to find out what type of pollen is causing each individual case. To do this doctors may have to be ejqiert de tectives, for many different individ uals are allergic to different things. Results of Allergy. _ AU of us are allergic to some thing or other, whether it be a cer tain type of food, the hair of a cer tain animal, feathers from pfllows, some types of dust, or even smoke. But only about one person in ten is aUergic to .such a degree that he is uncomfortable.By aUergic we mean, in a free sense, that we are unusuaUy sensi tive to something. A high degree of aUergy to some of the things mentioned in the foregoing para graph may result in any one or combination of a number of afflic tions—eczema, hives, “colds,” hay fever, headache, diarrhea and other ailments.Hay fever symptoms spring from hives which occur in the nose, si nuses and eyes, causing sneezing and itching. If they were to occur in the lungs, causing spasmodic con traction of the bronchial tubes and coughing,, they would produce asth ma. When hay fever occurs the poUen to which the victim is aller gic enters the nasal ducts, inflam ing them; the poison passes to the throat and bronchial tubes, and f in a lly to the ends of the bronchial tracts, where swelling occurs. The hay fever victim need not even be living in the neighborhood of the plants whose poUen are at the bottom of his grief. To follow a hypothetical case, let us'say a patch C f ragweeds was blossoming in a vacant lot of some city. A high wind came, spiriting away the seeds, lifting them up over the city and carrying them a hundred or even two hundred miles from the place they grew. At last as'the wind dies they settle down, unhappi ly, right before an unfortunate soul who is allergic to ragweed pollen without ever having discovered it. He breathes them into his nose— thousands of them, for it would take 50,000 to cover the head of a pin. Test Skin With Pollen. Soon his nasal duct is inflamed and he begins to sneeze. Then the . poison passes down through his throat and bronchial tubes and Aerial surveys, conducted thou sands of feet up, test the air for hay fever pollen. swelling occurs. His eyes redden, ouhis nose itches “where he can’t get atilt to scratch it,” and he begins ffijjniflHe constantly. ,,-HJferiiaps our friend thinks he has cold. But the. doctor says, “Hay Ifever,” and tells him he had better .Jmid out what type of pollen is caus ing the trouble. The customary pro- iSdure is for the doctor to begin .making skin sensitization tests. Lit tle Scratches are made on the arm, and into each of these scratches one prop of pollen solution is placed; a different type of pollen is iKed on each scratch! ' The Sufe d&£er is allergic to the type of pollen placed in any scratch which red dens and swrfls. We’ll say our hypothetical victim In a patch of ragweed; what a place for a hay fever Wctim! • across one in the street one day he approached it closely to examine the queer animal at length. He be gan to choke up and there was a severe excretion of fluid from the lungs. Now he had played with cats at times, and he owned a little wire-haired fox terrier, but none of these had ever affected him so. It just turned out that he was allergic to horse hair. Actually, now that skin sensitiza tion tests are common, it has been found that many supposed hay fe ver sufferers did not have hay fever, but were allergic to their own dog or cat. You can even be aller gic to cigarette smoke. There is on record the case of a woman who was sensitive to that kind of smoke. Her husband smoked a pipe; when she played bridge at the home of friends who smoked cigarettes she would begin to sniffle and appear to have a cold. The doctor found what was troubling her and treated her for it. Now her companions could smoke corn silk without bothering her. Seasonal asthma is frequently I Here are what the pollens which make hay fever sufferers sneeze and sniffle look like. The models (magnified 3,500 times) which the young lady is holding are, left to right: Timothy hay, short ragweed, burweed, marsh elder and cottonwood. the following month the giant ragweed and as September starts it is the small or common ragweed. When Suffering Begins. How severe a victim’s symptoms are depends upon the amount of pol len that is filling the air he breathes as well as upon his susceptibility. The amount of pollen is likdy to vary from day to day. It will be stirred up more, of course, when there is a good breeze, and it will tend to settle on a calm day. In some states at the height of the season it is not unusual to find 1,000 to 2,000 grains of pollen to the cubic yard of air. Pollen thins out in higher atmospheres, but aviators making scientific tests can find it a mile above the earth. It is when the air contains a pol len count of 25 to the cubic yard that the hay fever victim begins ,to suffer, so you can imagine his mis ery when the count reaches 2,000! According to medical scientists, you should not sit next to an open window on a train if you would avoid hay fever, although air-con ditioned cars are all right, for the pollen is filtered from the air in them. Nasal sprays will protect the nose in some measure from attack, and a little white vaseline around the opening of the nostrils will keep some of the pollen from getting in. Victims will find themselves more comfortable in a dark room where there are no drafts. Although ten persons in one hun dred suffer to some degree because ■they are allergic, only 'one of these ten, on an average, has hay fever. Various allergy, victims suffer in various -ways. SensitivetoHorseHair. . Take the^case of the city child who was accustomed enough to thousands of automobiles in his daily life, but'seldom, if ever, laid eyes on a horse. Finally coming caused by house dust which mixes more actively through the air at the time of the year when the radi ators are turned on for the first time. June flies cause asthma in the area about the Great Lakes; elsewhere butterflies or other in sects could provoke it; so can cer tain foods, such as berries, aspara gus or muskmelon. Almost anyone knows somebody who simply can’t eat strawberries without getting the hives. When a person begins to have regular attacks of asthma at a certain time of day or night, the doctor is likely to examine every article with which the victim regularly comes in contact at that time. IfJhey oc-, cur at night, 'it might be the feath ers in the pillow, the hair in the bed mattress or the wool in the blankets. Boys Hate Haircuts, Anyway. Sometimes the doctor has to be a mighty clever detective to find them, however. There is the case of a small boy who had an asth matic attack every few weeks, After much observation it was found that in a general way the attacks corresponded to the time of his peri odic visits to the barber. It was eventually found that he was aller gic to hair—not to his own hair, or the hair of anyone in his family, but to the hair of anyone with whom he was not in daffy contact! The Detroit News reports the case of a doctor in that-city who suffered from asthma every Sunday. He finally discovered that he was al lergic to Sunday newspapers! No kidding. He was sensitive to cer tain aromas which the various inks gave forth; because of the much' larger paper on Sunday, he spent a great deal more time with it. Te daily paper did not have enough time to affect him, but the Sunday one did. 8 W estern N ew spaper U nion. IM PROVED U N IFO R M IN TERN A TIO N A L SUNDAY IcHooL L.esson B y R E V .

Men see them clearly in the physical universe, al though at times they do not recog nize the One .who created all things. Physical laws are of great im portance, but of even deeper signi ficance are the moral and spiritual laws which control the human life. There is in the world a moral law— a distinction between right a n d wrong—which man may ignore only to his own sorrow, and which he cannot abrogate or destroy. All laws of men which are true and fight are founded on this underlying moral law, and are in reality simply a development and interpretation of “God’s Code of Morals”—the Ten Commandments. These commandments given to Israel at Mt. Sinai are worthy of careful study on the part of every reader. They may be grouped under two divisions. 1. A True View of God (w . 1-11). The first and most importantquestion to be asked regarding any law is, “By whom was it estab lished?” Legislation by an un authorized person or organization has no power over others. Who gave the ten commandments? Verse I tells us "God spake all these words.” Men sneer at theology as being out - moded, but the fact is that Christian doctrine is the only safe foundation for Christian character. Unless my view of God is right, my life will be wrong. Until I know him I will not appreciate the authority of his law. I.. Whom to worship (yv. 2-5). There can be but one true God,’ and he alone is to be worshiped. He is a personal being, ready to enter into communion with each one of us. No image can take his place. 2. How to worship (w . 6, 7). We are to love him and keep his com- mandments.'There is to be no sham about this, for no matter how sweet and pious may be the praise and prayer of a man, he has taken the Lord’s name in vain unless he keeps the Lord’s commandments by holy living. 3. When to worship (w . .8-11). God has ordained that man should not incessantly bear the burden of toil. He is to have a day of rest and a time for worhip, undisturbed by the duties and responsibilities' of daffy labor. America needs a mighty stirring up about the des ecration of the Lord’s day. H. A Bight BelaUonship to Man (w . 12-17). To be right with God means that we will also be right with our fel low man.I. Family life (v. 12). The fifth commandment has to do with the relation between child and parent. There is a plain and direct com-, mand that father and mother should be honored. Only in respect and obedience to parents can the child possibly find true and proper de velopment. 2. Physical life (w . 13,' 14). God is interested in our bodies. Already we have noted his provision for a day of rest each week. -Now we are reminded of the sanctity of hu man life. “Thou shalt not kill,” and remember there are many other ways to kill a man than by shoot ing him. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith makes a telling point by reminding us that we may kill others by sell ing them tainted food, intoxicat ing liquors, or “dope;" by neglect of duty, by careless driving, by f a i l i n g to provide employees with sanitary and healthful surroundings. There is another way that the body may be destroyed—by its mis use in adulterous living. 3! Social life (w . 15-17). “Thou shalt not steal” — and remember any dishonest appropriation of what does not belong to you is stealing— call it what you will.. And “false witness”—how it has honeycombed our very civilization. -Not a little of it is found within the church, more shame upon us! Lastly, we come to “covetousness’—which has been called one of "the respectable sins of nice people.” It is subtle and often hidden. Let us root it out of our-own lives by God’s grace. Enthusiasm in Work Enthusiasm is the element of success in everything. It is the light that leads and the strength that lifts men on and up in the great struggles of scientific pursuits and of professional labor. It robs en durance of difficulty, and makes a pleasure of duty.—Bishop Doane. ATranslation Let us learn what death is. It is simply a translation; not a state, but an act; not a condition, but a passage. ’ - Matching Lace Trims Silk Sheers By CHERIE NICHOLAS i I N O MATTER how much your taste and the general tenor of your life may call for practical tailored ,and sportsy-type clothes, none other than a really and truly dress-up dress will answer to oc casion. If anything more apropos can be found than either of the stunning models pictured in the way of dressiest-dress gowns that tune graciously to afternoon func tions, garden parties and such, pray tell where is it? The illustration presents exactly the type of dresses we have in mind. Here you see two-gowns that are one hundred per cent voguish. They are modern up to the instant, and they are fascinating in regard to nicety of detail and they carry that air of sartorial elegance^ which every woman of discriminating taste covets. Make it yourself, have it made, or buy it ready made as you will, a dress of the type of eith er of these handsome frocks will give you endless satisfaction, for no matter what comes up in the way of social affairs unless extreme formality demands ultra full-dress attire, gowns such as pictured class their wearers as among the those- present in the best dressed group. This gesture of dying lace in exact match to the silk sheer it trims is proving a most exciting venture to designers in that it invites such free play of imagination. Then, too, the lace being the identical color enhances the dress without making it look too fussy or overdone—gives it the exclusive accent that many covet but few attain. Current collections include both dark and light sheers with match ing lace trims. A costume done in monotone color scheme of either, the very fashionable spruce green or beetroot red would be outstand ing. Grays in the pastel shades are greatly stressed, also rose-beige. As to swank styling the redingote theme prevails since it offers such excellent opportunity to introduce border effects with lace insertions after the manner shown in th e charming dress to the. left in the picture. This redingote gown is a most fetching style for the cocktail hour. It is made of gray silk mar-, quisette tastefully embellished with' insets of matching lace. The huge red straw open-crowned hat worn with it plays up in dramatic con trast to the demure gray of the dress. It is flower-trimmed and has black streamers that tie under the chin. ’ The other young woman seeks and finds midsummer coolness in a1 gown of beguiling rose-glow silkj marquisette trimmed with insets off matching lace. The tiny self-fabrici buttons add to the choiceness ofj this dress. Short sleeves and short gloves also do their bit toward giv-: ing smart style accent. The modish' poke bonnet is’ a blue straw with' violet and old rose velvet ribbon trim. i C W estern N e w v a p e r U nion. / SMART SHEER WOOL B j C H E R IE NICHOLAS T^ie midseason dress problem when it is-too warm to wear this and too cool to wear that need no longer set any woman' into a worry and. flurry for the answer has been found'in the pew sheer wools that are the very thing to don at the first hint of autumn’s approach. Pictured is a stunning dress that will bridge from summer to fall perfectly. This distinctive tailored' frock combines sheerest wool weave in attractive dusty rose coloring with chic accents of snowy pigue. Pleated-ih sleeves and an intriguing pleated skirt convey early s t y le messages. Note the high crown in her smart fall felt. As the new sea- Ison advances crowns keep going higher and higher. MANY COLORS SEEN IN COATS FOR FALC Ooats of many colors have been featured so extensively in Paris' that they are expected to be early] fall fashion successes in this coun-! try. All of these coats are very, brief and are made of elegant fab-, rics or of ribbons, thus indicating; their place with evening dresses.! OBe French designer has intro-' duced a little jacket made of two- inch velvet ribbon sewn together, in vertical strips, the ribbon' combining shades of apple green, old blue, chamois, pink which has a blue cast and an orchid-purple.! This is worn over a gown of blade Chantilly lace. Another jacket is made of red and blue grosgrain; ribbon interlaced to suggest a wov en pattern. / Matching Headdress and 1 Heels Offer Gala Touch Matching headdresses and heels are providing a gala touch to sim ple summer outfits worn by attrac tive young spectators at smart mid- western country clubs. Dusty pink - frocks combined with beige turbans and ostrich skin pumps with beige- colored built-up heels are a popular combination. On many of the smart est white ensembles, effective ac cents are furnished by paisley print headbands and heels. Tailored Jersey Suit Is ' Made With Loose Jacket Chanel’s tailored suits in jerseys and wools are made with loose jack ets that are cut somewhat like box coats. Blouses are finished with round collars or jabots, which are worn outside the jackets. The short and comfortably full skirts often are trimmed with hip pockets. Parma Violet Undies Parma violet underwear! They are doing it in Paris, featuring the violet as well as the more delicate mauve and orchid tones in georgette and satin negligees.

A Dinner Famous For Over 50 V Years AMUSEMENT GALORE Epsom Downs Epsom Downs comprises 387 acres near the town of Epsom, Sur rey, 15 miles southwest of London. It is said that horse races were run there as early as the reign of James I: (1603-1625), but they were not held regularly until 1730. Grandstands were first erected in 1829. The prin cipal races run are the “Derby” and the “Oaks.” In 1780, the twelfth earl of Derby originated a race for three-year-olds,' and it was referred to as the “Epsom Derby,” after the town where it is held and the man who originated it. It is still known officially by that title, but the world knows it better as the “English Derby.” The course is one mile, four furlongs (one-half mile) and 29 yards. From the starting point the ground rises about 184 feet in less than a mile and before file slight rise at the finish it drops about 100 feet.

The Yellow Tacket Congriess has staged a slow-down strike on FDR. Any how, John L. Lewis has in creased the wages of sin. New Deal began as an emergency and has grown into a crisis. Jim Farley is suffering from an excess of zeal and an abscess of judgment. It seems that FDR’s Congression al blank check has about gone to protest. The devil always has a job for the idle fellow but the Devil of it is it’s a Devil of a job. The difference between a Demo crat and a New Dealer is that the Democrat is out in the cold. The roads would be safer if more folks learned how to stop automo biles as well as how to start them. By their fmits we sball know them. For men to rant about the liberties of the people when striv ing to destroy them is pure and un adulterated bunk. The President's purpose in invit ing the Democrats over to Jeffer son Island was to see if they could discover that recently lost “ rubber stamp ” Whether you like it or not, boil ed down to its final analysis, the trend of the New Deal is that we discard our form of government and scrap the Constitution. How long (or' short) will it be before FDR Democrats in Congress are told by FDR to’give him con trol of the Moon? He asked for— and received—control of everything else in sight. Roosevelt’s act of inviting the Democrats over to Jefferson. Island for a swell dinner reminds us of that stereotyped expression, "the prison er ate a hearty meal before being led to the.scaffold.” A subscriber writes and asks us why it is that the Republicans are more numerous in the country and the Democrats more numerous in the cities. Simple: God made the country and man made the town. “ What bath God wrought?” was the first telegram that ever went over a wire. What a contrast with the one FDR sent the other day to the heads of the steel industry ask ing them not to open their plants! The man who imported that hen from the South Seas which lays ten eggs a day had better keep the in formation from Hen. Wallace. Hen. may decide that “birth con trol’* of eggs is as important as “ birth control” ot pigs The famous telegram of FDR to the steel heads, he says, was sent in the “interest of harmony.” There never has been a time when the United States could whip an army of 14,000,000 enemies—and there are just that many aliens in this country now. The shortest cut to "preparedness” is to send the foreigners back to Europe where they belong. Taxes in this country are the highest in the nation’s history, and right now every man, woman and child bears an annua?, average tax of $120.00. One-fifth of every dol lar made is taken for taxes—and the New Dealers say taxes must still be raised, and waste goes mer rily on. Jast Musings. An Oklahoma banker who has loan ed $3,700 to 80 farm boys in the past three years says that he never lost a cent from the financial ventures. No father, relative or friend was asked to rign the youths notes, the only security being a willingne8s,to work. Furthermore, the farm Iada were not required to pay any interest it is said. Theachemehaspaid dividends in better farming methods in the community, and in years to come the banker will look back upon these loans as one of his beat investments. —Ex. •" A Weird Case. One reason tbe New Dealers are likely to hold our attention for a long time is tbe way tbev label tbeir episodes. It’s sort of like tbe catchy titles the magazine editors put oti their stories. You can never tell from tbe title what the story will be. Now, the NewDealers called the recent wave of sit down strikes “establishing a new concept of property rights.” Youoanimagine our surprise when we paid our 30 cents tor this performance aad saw what we did The attack - on tbe Supreme Court was advertised as Making Democracy Work.” We are now being treated to a melodrama called “ Harmony.” If that isn’t a tricky title we’ll eat our hat. Scene I, in which Mr. Roosevelt shakes bands and exchanges pleas antries with Senator Burke, seems all right. But with the next flicker of the camera we see Mr. Roosevelt off down , the river with Senator La Follette. There is something wrong there. LaFollette is no Democrat But his heart does beat with Mr. Roosevelt’s in the business o f' Mak ing Democracy Work.” Up in New York, Senator Cope land is preparing to run for mayor on an anti New Deal ticket and the Republicans, it is believed, will sup port him. But Jlm Farley seems to be doing everything he can towards giving authenticity to the “ Harmony” episode. Addressing a group of Democrats in Ohio’Saturday he said 'most” of those attributing dic tatorship motives to tbe President were economic royalists. A few weeks ago.

Tbe auto is a useful article ati(i answers many good purposes, but they ate also ruining the country, financial ly and religiously, and are killing more people yearly than all the railroads in the country. This is a fast age in which we are living, and the devil seems to have things going his way with a down hiil pull. But the Lord 'will not be mocked This country will be made to suffer as a result of its wickedness, and those who have forgotten God will be reminded of their wickedness. What A Printer Can Do A printer may have a bank and quoins, and never be worth a cent; have caps and small caps and have neitheir wife nor small children; others may run, but he gets along faster by setting. He may make im pressions without eloquence, and still tell the truth. Though others can not stand and set he can set stand ing, and do both at the same time; may use furniture and have no dwell ing; may make and put away pi, yet never see nor eat any.

Oh, Happy Land. Is there an ybody who doubts or wonders why it is good to be an American? We’ll tell him, and for Ihe re cord—it’s because this country is the oue last place in the world where people can commit the im probable in a court of law and have it make sense. Take the case of William Leif heit, of Wichita, Kan. William, a few days ago. was driving a truck down the broad highway and much to his surprise, found himself in collision with somebody else. The wrath of Kan sas coos descended upon him and William, still quite surprised, found himself charged with driving while intoxicated. » Did that disconcert our. hero? Alas history doesn’t tell.

All Cannot Get Help. TbeCounty Welfare Department has had over 1200 applications which include more than two thousand people.

Old Age Assistance wiil be given only to those in dire need, or those who cannot support. them selves and have no means of support themselves and have no means of support, We favor the Old Age assistance but realize that mistakes will be make. There will be some confusion and criticism. Many should not apply for Old Age Assistance. Those who have a comfortable living or have children who should care for them and are able to do so, need not apply. It will save tinre and enable those who do need help to get it more promptly. Every case must be carefully investi gated. Since the county pays one-fourth of the cost, it is not able to help all who have applied. Tbe government, whether it be county, state or feder al has no money except as it levies and collects in the form of taxeB. It iB still an honor for children . to support their parents. It is still honorable to make your own living. Too many people are expecting the government to ‘‘hand1 them out something.” Thegovernment owes nothing. You owe the world an hon est living. We have been amused at the opinion of some applicants who state something like this: “I X a ^ - O d and have never got any bel^trom the government.” Only a small portion of those who apply will actually get help.

Bost. state welfare commissioner, estimated that a total of $5 300 OOO v. ould be paid for old age and dependent children aid -in the state’s social security program during the next year. Appearing before the first day’s session of a conference of the field staff of the state board of charities and public welfare. Mrs. Bost said $3 800 000 would go for old age as sistance and $1,500,000 for aid to de pendent children. She said administration costs would be about 9 74 per oent of benefits paid. Mrs. Bost R. Eugene Brown, as sistant commissioner, and Nathan H. Yelton. director of the division and public assistance, are in charge of the conference, which, which will end Wednesday. Miss Lavinia Keys, of Washing* ton, regional representative for the federal security board, said North Garolina’s administrative ratio com pared favorably with those of other states. In 13 other states, she said, administrative co^ts for old age as sistance are about nine per cent and' for dependent children aid about 2 per cent. She praised North Caroinia’s se curity organization, and noted that every state in the union except Vir ginia has a program for help of the aged, 38 have adopted aid to depend ant children legislation and 35 are assisting the needy blind. North Carolina has inaugurated all three of these programs. Result of High T&es. (Atlanta Georgian) The failure of the March income tax returns to meet, by Bome 200 nillions, tbe expectations of tbe ad- ninistratian is ominous. The administration, looking for reasons for the shortage, hints some what darkly that taxpayers have not oled as freely as they should. It should also explore the possibil ity that the taxpayers have been bled white. If taxation has been imposed to the point of diminishing returns, the result would be exactly what the re sult has been. The administration, which has im* posed the highest taxes in American history, may find that-point baa been reached. Hitih taxes have taken millions of iloliars out of production. They have prevented industries from availing themselves of the op portunities to share in recovery. The administration may well ^ be alarmed. If the point of diminishing returns has been reached, still higher taxes will further reduce the returns.

North China Powder Keg TIENTSIN, powder keg of the hostilities in North China, was being attacked from many angles as Japan apparently prepared to fight a long term war. Japanese bombers rained death and destruc tion from the skies, artillery pep pered the city with shells and, as if that were not enough, a serious earthquake shook the metropolis’ foundations.A surprise Chinese attack, by three armies along a 95-mile front from Taku (Tientsin’s port) to Peip ing, drove Japan away from three key railroad stations, provoking Nippon’s retaliation. In the wake of the bursting bombs, flames en gulfed Tientsin’s principal build ings, including the central railway station, the militia headquarters, the famed Nankai university and the Chinkiang international bridge connecting the Chinese city to the foreign concessions. In the streets, Chinese and Japanese soldiers fought hand to hand, with entrench ments in some places no more than 100 feet apart. Chinese troops declared that “Thousands of non-combatant men, women and children were killed or injured” by the airmen. Russia protested vigorously to the Japanese embassy in Nanking against the “pillaging of the Russian consulate by White Russiah ruffians assisted by Japanese.” The Japa nese denied that any of their coun trymen were implicated, and ridi culed the idea that the Japanese planned any future attacks against Russian consulates. In the Fengtai-Lukouchiao district southwest of Peiping, 30,000 veteran Japanese troops massed for an at tack upon five divisions of China’s central government army, number ing approximately 60,000. Including the remnants of the twenty-ninth army, driven from Peiping by the Japanese, there were said to be 100,000 Chinese. Both sides were well equipped with airplanes. Further evidence of Japan’s expectation of real war were the sweeping changes in military per sonnel made after a conference be tween Premier Konoyeiand Emperor Hirohito. Four new division com manders were named, as well as a new commander for the island of Formosa. It was regarded as sig nificant that all of the new ap pointees were soldiers with exten sive experience in China. The government was attempting to push through an appropriation of $115,- 000,000 for operations in North China. Bill Green Saves the Day A FTER William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, had been prevailed upon by President Roosevelt to grace the wages and hours bill with an approv al slightly less than lukewarm, the sen ate passed it, 56 to 28. Southern sena tors, led by Pat Harrison of Mississippi and obviously dis pleased with the bill, pressed a move ment to recommit it to the education and labor committee, but their motion was defeated, 48 to 36. It seemed certain that the south erners would have enough votes to defeat the measure when the metals and building units of the Federa tion voiced their dissatisfaction also, while Green at first refused to com ment. But under pressure-from the White House, Green gave out a statement that, while the bill was still unacceptable to him, he would like to have it passed in the senate and then, improved in the house. As the senate passed it, the Wag- ner-Connery bill to regulate hours and wages would create a labor standards ,board empowered to set minimum wages up to 40 cents an hour and maximum work weeks down to 40 hours a week. The draft prepared by the house labor committee was far broader in scope than that of the senate. It would extend the limits to permit the board to set minimum wages up to 70 cents an hour and set the William Green maximum working week as low as 35 hours. In the house, too, there was oppo sition by the southern Democrats. They objected to the wide latitude given the board. Most of them felt the bill would have a detrimental effect upon the industrial growth of the South. —-K- $700,000,000 for Housing IlT AVING disposed of wages and hours legislation, the senate took up the Wagner-Steagall low- cost housing bill. This would au thorize the flotation of a $700,000,000 bond issue by a United States hous ing authority. To meet operating ex penses of the pro gram’s first year, $26,000,000 would be appropriated imme diately. The pro posed bond is s u e was cut from $1,- Sen. Wagner Q00,000,000 as a com promise with the Treasury depart ment, which objected to so high a figure.The bill would aid low-cost hous ing projects in two ways. It would make loans to the full amount of contracted projects, aiding the re payment of the loans by direct grants if the sponsors kept rents sufficiently low; or it would make di rect grants not to exceed 25 per cent of the cost of a project. Under this latter method, the President would be authorized to make an ad ditional 15 per cent grant from re lief funds, to be used only for the employment of labor. Sponsors would be required to contribute at least 20 per cent of the cost. ' The housing authority would also be permitted to spend $25,000,000 on demonstration projects to illustrate to communities the benefits of elimi nating slums and providing ade quate housing at low cost. The proj ects would be sold “as soon _ as practical” to local housing agencies. Under the first plan the housing authority would be given power to enter subsidy agreements totaling $20,000,000 annually. Wedge to Split Loyalists A S THE battle of Madrid con tinued to rage, Gen. Francisco Franco’s eastern army was driving an ever-widening wedge into the ter ritory near the junction of Teruel, Cuenca and Valencia provinces 100 miles east of Madrid. His object is to impose a barrier between Ma drid and the loyalist government’s capital at Valencia.Government forces all along the line of advance were reported sur rendering or fleeing. Insurgents claimed to have captured large numbers of automobiles and supplies of arms, munitions and clothing. Latest news from the Madrid front indicated that a rebel attack in the Usera sector southeast of the city had been, repulsed by machine gun ners and dynamiters. Taking inventories of their forces in the Madrid conflict, the govern ment and the insurgents disagreed; each claimed the other’s losses had been greatest Rebels reported the government had lost 300 fighting Planesfrand had had 30,000 casualties. 1%e government declared Franco had lost at least 100 planes to its 20 or 30, had lost 20,000 to 25,000 men, and had consumed $15,000,000 worth of war materials.—-K— Women Hear War Cry ONE of China’s chief agitators for war was_Mme.: Chiang Kai- shek, Wellesley-educated; wife of the dictator. She urged women to fight Japan “according to their ability,” citing the fashion in which the wom en of Spain are occupying the fight ing lines. “In the World war the women of every country gave their best,” she declared. “The women of China are no less patriotic or capable of phys ical endurance. “China is facing the gravest crisis in its history. This means we must sacrifice many of .our soldiers, masses of our innocent people, much of the nation’s wealth and see ruthlessly destroyed the results of our reconstruction.” u n M J lr u w J id a h o tW This Business of Golf.

The only way to avoid meeting him at dinner is to eat at an owl wagon. But the other night, at an important banquet, he strangely was missing from the ar ray of speakers at the head table.

Washington Digest £ National Topics Interpreted ByW ILLIA M BRUCKART NATiONAlPRESSBLDG WASHINGTON. D C ,( Washington.—The government’s silver policy again is attracting at- tention. Several Suoer th in g s h a v e Question caused it. First a m o n g th e s e things is the matter of rising prices for foods and other necessaries of life, but attention seems to have centered on the silver question again as a result of the Treasury’s newly arranged agreement to trade some of its gold for some of the Chinese silver. Probably the silver question is not as widely discussed as it might be because it is a complex subject and there are not too many people who understand it and its implications. I cannot refrain at this time, how ever, from recalling that when the silver act of 1934 was passed, I wrote in these columns a prediction that the country sooner or later would regret that legislation. I repeat the statement now and I do not believe it will be long until the average citizen will recognize what the silver policy is doing to most of us. I mean by that, it will not be long until Mr. John Q. Public will understand that the silver poli cy has a lot to do with the high prices he is paying for his pound of bacon, his slice of beefsteak or a thousand and one items that he buys at the grocery store. He will feel it, too, when he seeks to buy a new suit of clothes or a new pair of shoes. There can be no argument about it: The affect of inflation brought about by a perfectly ridicu lous silver policy is upon us. Early in July, the Chinese minis ter of finance visited Washington and called personally at the Treas ury to express the appreciation of the Chinese government for the sat isfactory conclusion of negotiations that enable the Chinese to give the American Treasury silver for gold. It was the usual diplomatic courte sy. At the same time, however, the visit of the Chinese minister served to awaken America to the fact that the Treasury has been go ing along, buying silver from for eign countries in order to maintain an arbitrary price which the Wash ington administration contended should be the world price for silver. This price is forty-five cents an ounce, and it is a most profitable price for silver producers in Mexico and Canada and some other foreign countries. It is not as profitable, however, as the price the Treasury pays, to American producers—which is seventy-seven and one-half cents an ounce. But, one may ask, what has this thing to do with the cost of beef steak, ham and eggs or shoes? I hope I may be able to explain it as I have watched the picture un fold and to explain it in a manner that those unacquainted with high finance may see the thing in its true light.• • • First of all, the policy of the ad ministration that has brought bit ^ lions of gold into How It the Treasury to be Works stored as so'much dead weight has resulted in many thousands of shares of stock in American cor porations or their .bonds being bought by foreigners who gave gold in payment. President Roosevelt early in his administration insisted that gold should not be in circula tion as money. Consequently, the ^Treasury. has. so much gold that it has had to, build separate store houses to protect it. Now, we are sending some of that gold to China in trade for China’s silver. I think most everyone will agree that the silver is just as useless because we have no need for it in our currency structure. People do not want to carry silver dollars around in their pockets. Assuming that the exchange was simply an even trade of two ob jects, neither of which was usable to us; one probably could dismiss the matter with a wave of the hand. Regrettably, such is not the case. The additional silver frankly is add ing to our troubles because of the Silver -Act of 1934 which permits the Treasury to issue currency—silver one-dollar bills—against it. So, instead of being sterilized and stored away in vaults, the silver ac cession results in a prompt increase in the amount of currency in circu lation. That action.tends to increase the excess reserved-unused money —of the banking system. As this money becomes available for cir culation, its value necessarily and obviously is cheapened. Or, to say it another way, the things you buy with money become of greater value because it takes more of these pieces of currency to buy the same quantity of food or clothes or shoes. * • • Authorities will disagree with the above statement -to the extent that all kinds of cur-Some Will rency have not . Disagree been expanded(which m e a n s inflated) by the issuing of silver certificates That is true. But we must be realistic and recognize that a silver certificate occupies exactly the same place in our currency structure: as does a bill that is backed by gold or one that is is sued by the Federal Reserve banks. Therefore, it seems to me to be a fair statement to say that the whole currency structure is tainted by this deluge of silver certificates now and heretofore coming from the Treas ury. And it is equally a fact that prices of every kind are going to increase exactly in accordance or In ratio with the new money that is put out from the Treasury. I do not know how long it will be until the voters wake up to the ne cessity for repeal of the silver act. It probably will not be long before there is a wave of public indigna tion against the policy if the aver age person realizes that the pro gram is actually a tax upon the American public. Surely, if the sil ver policy ,were labeled, “tax to sup port the silver program,” the atti tude of the country would change overnight. That really should be the name of the Silver Act of 1934 because that is its effect. The tax results from the fact that the Treas ury is paying foreign producers as well as American producers prices for silver that are higher than the value of the silver warrants. This means that any article of silver that you buy in a store costs you more than it would if silver producers abroad and in the United 'States were not being subsidized. The ad ditional cost is a tax on every buyer just as much as though you had paid the tax directly into the Treas ury. It may be interesting to know that the Treasury has issued nearly eight-hundred million in silver cer tificates. In addition something like seven million silver dollars have been coined, and these still re main in the package in which they were wrapped at the mints. Be sides all these, there is silver bul lion that cost $375,000,000 piled up in the Treasury. Silver certificates can be issued against this.The silver act of 1934 provided that the Treasury could buy one dollar’s worth of silver to three dot lars’ worth of gold for what is called reserve-purposes. On the basis of the gold now held, the Treasury can buy under that law a total of- $4,125,000,000 in silver. At the pres ent time Treasury records show we have silver reserves amounting to around $2,600,000,000. These.figures show, or ought to show, how much inflation lies ahead—how much higher prices may go—unless some thing is done to restore a sound currency policy in the United States.• * * Some Democrats who are not too friendly with Postmaster General J to Farley, alongJust Good, with the Republi- Clean Fwt cans in congress,' are having fun these days with the Democratic Na tional committee. They are also succeeding, it appears, in making President Roosevelt’s political seat uncomfortably warm. Nothing will come of it except that the subject will fill many newspaper columns of attack and defense as the politicians shoot back and forth. To review the situation, it should be recalled that the Democratic Na tional committee found itself in debt to the tune of about $650,000 at the end of the 1936 campaign. Some bright mind in the Democratic Na tional committee conceived the idea of selling Democratic campaign handbooks to corporations at $250 per book, or more, as a means of raising money. To make the book attractive, a single sheet bearing the autograph of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inserted. Hundreds of'corporations were solicited, and hundreds bought the books—theoretically, because of the autograph of the President. Mr. Roosevelt .stated he did not know he w as' autographing the blank sheets for the purpose for which they were used. Republican Leader Snell, of New York, introduced a resolution in the house of representatives, propos ing an investigation of the sale of these books to corporations. He con tended that it was a violation of the corrupt practices act. . v Mr. Snell remained determined, however, and sought to harrass the New Deal further by asking Attot* ney General Cummings for an offi cial. opinion. At the ,same time, he read on the floor of the house a long list of corporations who had bought the “souvenirs.” of the 1936 cam paign, together with- a list of prices they had paid. These facts cut deeply into the Democrats who are seeking to pro tect Chairmaii-Farley and the Dem ocratic NatMnal committee wiggled and squirmed. Nevertheless, Mr. Snell may as well have butted, his head against a stone wall since he got no further than Representa tive Rayburn, the house Deinocratie leader, would have , gotten, if Mr. Snell had been majority, instead of minority, leader. £> W eetem N ew sp ap er U nion.

UTLEY IlTIT-HY don’t you forget VV about that guy Jordan?” a suitor asked Marion Driscoll, about 18 years ago. “He’ll never amount to anything. If you marry, him, you’ll be living out of a suitcase all your life.” That settled it. For there was nothing Marion Driscoll would rath er have done for the rest of her life than live out of a suitcase—with her Jim. It was a good thing for you and me, too. If this swell romance hadn’t . blossomed into happy and lasting marriage, we would have had to do without two of the most good-humored and welcome visitors who "call” at our homes—Fibber McGee and Molly. Marion and Jim Jordan "lived out of a suitcase” and worked like the dickens for a good many years be fore, as Fibber and Molly, they be came one of the five or six top- ranking radio teams. In the rural areas and small communities they rank first. "We’ve got a bigger audience than even Jack Benny has,” is the way Jim puts it. Fibber Bom on Farm. No wonder, either. They’ve al ways been “small town folks,” even though they’ve lived in Chicago for a long time. Like Fibber and Mol ly, the Jordans themselves are as genuine as the eggs'in a home-made cake. One indication is sufficient: During the leaner years when they sometime^ worked for $35 a week, the Jordans and their two children —Katherine, seventeen, and Jim, Jr., thirteen—lived in an unpreten tious residential district on Chi cago’s northwest side, where they had a lot of friendly neighbors, plain, ordinary folks like them selves. When they suddenly found themselves in the “big money” class at last, did they buy a fine mansion on *the Gold Coast, with more servants than closets? They did not. They built a little seven-room house right in their old neighbor hood; it was HOME to them, and that was important. Fibber (or Jim, if you prefer) was born on a farm near Peoria, 111., and worked on it until he was twelve; he had seven brothers and sisters to help him out. Marion was a Peoria girl, the youngest save one of a family of 13. Now there hardly Eves a gal who doesn’t like to look into a mirror once in a while, and Marion was no exception. At sixteen she was a very pretty girl and had a voice good enough to land her in the church choir. It was at choir prac tice one day that she caught her self sneaking a peek into the glass above the piano. And when she a * .;* Fibber McGee . . . and Molly. for the one hundred twenty-second engineers, but sickness prevented his seeing service, and he was in a hospital when the Armistice was signed. Meanwhile, was Marion, back home in Peoria, merely twid dling her thumbs, awaiting Iiis re turn? "Heavenly days!” says she. “I was that busy teaching piano to 50 pupils, some good and some bad, I didn’t have a moment to myself! ” They decided to get out of the show business when Jim came back, but it was no go. Jim wasn’t very successful finding steady work and, with his brothers-in-law con stantly taunting, “When are you go ing to get a job?” he soon found himself behind the footlights again. He and Marion had real success with their concert company, and no one complained that he was shift less any more. An Agent Gets Fired. Billed as a 15-piece ensemble, the company was literally that—a 15 piece affair—but there were only six people in it; some of them played several instruments. This led to complications. An advance man preceded them on tour and arranged for their billing. When they arrived they usually met a stage crowded with 15 chairs and a manager stirred with indignation at finding only six musicians. At this point Jim would become highly incensed at the au dacity of his agent in permitting so gross a misrepresentation. Loudly and righteously, in the sight of all concerned, he would discharge the agent. Marion and Jim estimate that this hardy soul was “fired” in such a manner twice a week for four years. There followed more success, this time as a harmony team in vaude ville. Then the night which was to open up new and miraculous vistas to them. , They were playing cards with friends in Chicago in 1924. An old I Marion says these candid camera shots of Jim and her are typical of a Jordan day at home. saw a slim youth of seventeen look ing over her shoulder her heart beat like a studio gong; she decided right there that Jim Jordan (for that’s who it was) was the man for her. It must have been a two-way mir ror, for Jim Jordan decided the same thing.Jim ’ sang with a quartet which was rehearsing with the choir. They had their first date on New Year’s eve. Marion can’t suppress a little giggle whenever she thinks of it. They Still Tease. “His mother went along with us, and took him home afterward!” she laughs. Even after 20-odd years this charge still makes him hot un der the collar. “Oh, here now," he objects. “Cut that out!” Then, with a grin: “Anyway, didn’t you always bring your big brother along on our dates after that?” For three years they courted before they were married, and 'for 19 years since. Before their marriage, Jim toured in vaudeville with a musical act called, “A Night With the Poets.” He sang on the Chau tauqua circuits, and later started a concert company that toured the tank towns, an experience which may have developed some.-of the “tank town tourist” flavor !which characterizes the McGee and Molly skits. Shortly after their marriage Jim left for France'as a replacement battery radio set was blatting away. Conversation was all but impos sible as what might or might not have been a harmony team strug gled'with the notes in the upper ranges. Jim Wins a Bet. Jim stood it as long as he could. Then: “Dad rat it!” he cried. “We can do better than that!” His host was a doubting Thomas with a bit of sporting blood and bet Jim they couldn’t. So the next day found them seeking an audition at the sta tion to which they had been listen ing-old WIBO, “the top of the dial,” in Chicago. ’ They clicked immediately, and soon made their' debut in a com mercial program on the ether waves as the O’Henry twins—at $10 a broadcast! They collected the $10 they had bet, too. Those were the days before any body got fat eating on a radio star’s salary. Marion and Jim for eight months broadcasted two horns a day for $35 a week. They were known under dozens of different names, and it is a tribute to their amazing versatility that they did not run out of things to do. They sang songs, acted out Uttle skits, dialogs and monologs, and Marion played the celeste. But vaudeviUe still offered more money, and reluctantly they left the microphone for another year in the theaters. Then when WENR went on the air they returned, never to leave. The character of Fibber Mc Gee may be traced by veteran lis teners to that of an old man named Lidce in one of their early broad casts. Molly is much the same character as Mrs. Smith in their old skit, “The Smith Family.” They had another program called the “Smackouts,” which they intend to bring back to radio some day. AU this time it might be supposed that the national networks were overlooking them; in fact it has often been reported that they never had a chance at the networks untU Fibber and Molly came to life. Nothing coiUd be further from the truth, Jim insists. They simply made . so much money off local broadcasts plus theater appear ances that they avoided the net works. When NBC bought WENR they went to WMAQ, where they could remain a local team, but when NBC bought WMAQ, as weU, Jim had to hit the national hookup as “Mr. Twister.” Marion Has Many Tongues. The first Fibber McGee and Molly broadcasts was in March, 1935. The “show” was a “natural”, from the start. That it has remained so, in fact has never ceased to add to its popularity, testifies to Jim Jordan’s showmanship. The sponsor-wanted to base the show on Fibber’s “fish stories” and outlandish Ues, but Jim saw that the Usteners would soon tire of them and refused. Instead we hear this quaint Irish couple, genuine, witty, and at aU times sympathetic, surrounded by some of the funniest characters radio ever has known. Fans have learned to love and laugh at the Uttle girl whose tiny voice can ask the most embarrassing questions on earth; Geraldine, the tittering bride; Grandma, the old lady with the chorus girl philosophy; Mrs. Weary- bottom, who always seems as if she wiU surely run down like an old-, time phonograph before she finishes a sentence, but never does, quite; and MoUy, herself, an able foil for the cocky McGee. AU of these and more are played by Marion herself! Horatio K. Boomer, the smaU time big shot; the raspy Russian, who says “HaUo, Petrushka! Hal lo, Tovarich!” ; the Scotchman, and other dialect characters, are played by young BiU Thompson, whom Jim discovered. SiUy Watson, the po- Utely uproarious blackface come dian, is Hugh Studebaker, who nev er acted at aU until he got into radio—he was a pipe organist. Studebaker also has a show of his own, “Bachelor’s ChUdren.” Harpo, the announcer who loves to “spofl” Fibber’s favorite jokes by “sneaking in” a commercial announcement, is Harlow WUcox, who is Harold IsbeU in real life. Fibber, of course, is Jim Jordan. , Coin Many ‘Catch PhrasesJ You’U find no "mother-in-law” jokes on the Fibber McGee and MoUy program. “ ’Taint funny, McGee!” Molly said, and that was that. And you’U never hear any thing on the program that you wouldn’t want your children to hear; Marion and Jim have children of their own. Don Quinn, who has written the Jordan scripts for seven years, has taken a lesson from the honest-to-goodness romance that has foUowed the pair throughout their married life. You will never hear any serious arguments be tween Fibber and Molly; it’s very apparent that they love each other, and you love them for it. Seldom has any troupe in the show business coined so many catch phrases that have become by-words throughout the nation. Among aU classes of people today you- may hear repeated almost any time Mol ly’s "Heavenly days, McGee!” and “ ’Tain’t funny, McGee!” ;- Fibber's “Dad rat it!” ; the Uttle girl’s “I betcha!” and Grandma’s “Hi, Skip- py!” They’re riding on top of the world right now, the Jordans. But would they quit if they could?. “Just give me a chance,”’says Jim. “Boy, I’d like to go right’back-'where I start ed, i'd like to Uve-on a Uttle farm by a lake and take life easy.” ^ “Heavenly days!” says Marion. “You bet,” Jim repUes. © W estern N ew sp ap er U nion. ' lWay Back When By JEANNE MOTOB EXECUTIVE WAS A DAT LABOBEB ILLIAM S. KNUDSEK, vice VV president of General Motors, hardly gave promise to the casual observer of being executive mate ria] 30 year- ago. Born in Den mark in 1880, he came to the Unit ed-States at the. age of twenty, with $30 in his pocket. His first job was as a reamer and riveter in a New York shipyard, and later be worked in the railroad shops at Salamanca, N. Y., repairing locomotive boilers. Knudsen had worked in a bicycle plant , in Denmark, and he finaUy obtained a job as a bench hand in a similar factory in. Buffalo, N. Y. The result? In five years, Knud- sen was manager of the bicycle factory, the Keim mills which Hen ry Ford bought in 1911. During the next ten years, he vorked closely with Ford in the development of mass production of ’ automobiles. In 1921, he joined General Motors, where he steadily advanced to his present position as one of the most prominent men in the whole auto mobile industry. There is so much in liking the work you do that, even if offered more money at something I did not like, I think t would stick with the thing that appealed to me more. And I would be thinking of my own success in doing that. For, when we are working on things we like, we can put in more extra hours, we take more extra pains, we can do a better job. Doing the things we like, we tire less easily. We are inspired toward finding better ways, and we are able to contribute so much more than we may - be actuaUy paid for at the moment that advancement cannot fail to be rapid.• • • FU W ER KING WAS A SIMPLE MECHANIC TIME- is so short, so swift in passing, we should never be at loss for how fo use it. The question should not be “How can I kill this evening?” but rather “Do I need to take this valuable time for fun, or is there something important I can do with it?” Consider the life of Henry Ford. He was bom on a farm near Dear born, Mich., in 1863. Ths oldest of five children, Henry helped his fa ther with the plowing, shucked com, mowed hay, cut grain, dug pota toes, and milked cows. Time nev er hung heavily on his bands. Me chanically inclined, he rigged iip a small machine shop on the farm and repaired watches at night for the viUage jeweler. After finishing the local pubUc schools, the farmer boy- left for the city to seek his for tune In Detroit, he obtained a job as a mechanic’s apprentice and the ,- i- V fortune he received was $2.59 pe week. When he was twenty-four he returned- to the farm and ran a sawmill, experimenting in his spare time with a steam car. TheFe was never a question in his mind about what to do with time. His father was not in sympathy with Henry -Ford’s experiments, so he again went to Detroit, and worked for a power and Ught com pany as an engineer on the night shift. During the seven years that he was there he became general manager.; and night after night, at home, he worked far into the morn ing hours in developing a gasoline motor car., Success came from his experiments at last, and in order to popularize Uie new vehicle, Hen ry Ford buUt racing cars and drove them himself in race after race. You know where Henry Ford stands today. His life is the story of time well used. It is an example worth re membering the next time you are wondering aTiow to kUl time.” &—WNU Service. _. Cool Organdy for Midsummer Dance By CHERIE NICHOLAS M H h 'SeB I "t H i I.-. TY URING midsummer moments C f when a high-registering ther mometer gives promise that torrid weather has decided to prolong its stay even to the point of trespassing on the rights of autumn then is it that dainty cool lingerie frocks swing into the spotUght in all their glory. Especially this season the craze seems not to have abated for frocks of simple, inexpensive, yet fine and lovely wash materials. The young er set adore the pretty dimities, or- gaudies, dotted swisses for their party frocks and when they go .away to school this faU many a college- faring girl wiU sUp one or two of her summery wash-frocks into her wardrobe trunk knowing fuU well that she wiU get any amount of wear out' of them ere the cool faU days come upon us. If you have never tried shadow print organdie for your midsummer- night party frock, do it now! You can get this lovely material in pastels or white and it makes up beau tifully, and best of all it costs such a trifle compared with luxury-type weaves, while it “looks a million.” The charming gown on the seated figure is made of white shadow print organdie and we venture to say when this gown dances hither and . thither on the ballroom floor or under the stars at the country club it wiH be voted among the prettiest. - The fact that it is picturesquely and fashionably fuU- skirted makes it aU the more en chanting. The corsage of flowers in reaUstic coloring is in gay contrast thus adding another beguiling note. Some there are who prefer stat uesque slenderizing lines ’ rather than bouffancy. The princess gown to the left wiU tune to the liking of those who prefer the sHm and tall silhouette. There is an exquisiteness expressed which reflects the new trend toward meticulous detail such as fir.c hand- tucking and myriads of wee self- material covered buttons such as fasten this princess all the way down the front. Here is really a very charming way to make up organdie if you like to be outstand ing in distinctive dress. It is not only that delightsome Ungerie materials are favored for party frocks but the tendency all the ‘ way through the season is to wear dainty friUy blouses in the daytime of exquisitely fine cotton sheers, also prettily feminine neck wear and beguiling accessories— jabots, ruffled halter fronts and oth er such flattering items. With the approach of fall, tailored suits are. coming out in fuU force and the fad of the moment is to wear with them the frilliest fluttery blouses that fancy might picture. Fine handwork is lavished on the high-quality types. For these handmade blouses sheer est of fine white organdie or daintiest batiste or filmy handkerchief linen are first in favor. Popular too and heartily to be recommended are the attractive aUover embroidered or gandies that are definitely practical .and pretty for the making of the blouse to be worn with one’s jack- et-and-skirt tailleur. It should by all means have a sprightly frill fashioned after the manner of the model pictured in the inset to the right. Trimmed with lace edging, as is this-blouse, makes the effect aU the more daintily feminine and aUuring. © W estern N ew spaper Union* SHIRRED JACKET B r C H E R IE NICHOLAS As if the new sheer woolens for fall were not attractive enough in themselves designers are making them even more so in the clever way they are manipulating them via elaborate shirrings, tuckings, stitchings, bandings and other in triguing workings. Sheerest navy wool makes this graceful costume. Its fuU cut jacket is fascinatingly shirred and banded. The frock itself, which is a slim one-piece, is also beautified with shirred bodice and slenderly fashioned skirt. TIGHT SLEEVES ON FROCKS FALL STYLE WhHe the designers are draping blouses, lowering waistlines a n d straightening out the. hemlines of skirts they also are cutting out the fullness of sleeves. Advance autumn fashions which forecast the coming season’s mode have sleeves that are straight - and tight. Absence of shoulder pleats is especiaHy note* worthy and if any fullness does ap pear it is in the form of a draper# on the forearm. Sleek satins are the fabrics which show off the new straight sleeves and slender skirts to best advance so the shiny fabrics are the first to show the changes of fashion. Look for them not only of perennial black but flaunting such colors as bright blue and purple. Dressmaker DetmIs That Class as Important News The continued importance of em broidery is noted. Gold embroi dery on black is much employed; also fanciful effects on the new silk frocks. Much favor is ex pressed for appUqued felt motifs on black silk crepe day dresses. Dressmakers are making use of any amount of shirring and tuck ing and they deUght in scalloped and sawtooth hemlines, thus trim ming the dark silk sheers and crepes effectively. The skirts of the newest silk print frocks are frequently pleated or verticaUy tucked aU around. Lace-Trimmed Lingerie Black lace as a trimming on lin gerie is a prominent note in the summer season’s offerings. It is contrasted with pastel shades, par ticularly Sides, greens and yeUows, and sometimes worn with’ all-black. V THE DAVlE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Edibr.

She Walter Etchison, well-known The 59 'h annual Masonic picnic, held ai VClenient Grove l ist Thuis day, was a big SUCI < ss in eyerv wav Five thousand men; women and children were on the grounds Thursday, and at least 8 000 were present during the evening, despite the big rain and muddy grounds. A heavy downpour soaked the grounds ao'out 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, causing hundreds of pic- nicers to head homeward. A light rain fell early in the evening, which caused some cf the ctowd to leave early. The program got under way a- bout 10:30 o’clock Thursdav morn ing, with Col Jacob. Stewart act ing as master of ceremonies, a place which he bas held since the death of T. B Bailey many years ago Rev J- H. Fnlghnm, pastor of the Mooksville Baptist church, deliver cd opening prayer. Short address es were made by Rev W C Coop er, pastor of the Presbyterian hurch and others. A class from the Oxford Masonic Home render ed a number of selections. Hon. Cam Morrison, of Charlotte, form er Governor and >J. S Senator,.de livered the annual address, which was heard by an immense audience, every seat being taken under the large arbor. The Governor de livered an agricultural speech, tell ing bis audience that what this country needed was more register ed bulls and less politicians. He mentioned politics lightly, but we understood that he was in sympathy with the New Deal He said the folks should stop worrying about the big debt the administration had Dilled np go to work and produce bigger and better crops. At the conclusion of his address a rush was made for the dinner tables, which were loaded with everything imaginable from country ham to fried chicken. This dinner is one of the big events : of the day, de spite the fact that the price of ad mission is one big frog skin. The program was verv interest ing and entertaining. Music was furnished by the Cooleemee Band The afternoon exercises came to a close at 4 o’clock An auction sale of cakes, donated by the ladies of the county attracted much atten tention The midway and the Lee riding devices did a land office busi ness during the.day and evening. Tbe lawn partv Thursday even ing lasted until a late hour. The program by the Oxford Home boys and girls was very good, and a large crowd filled the arbor. The picnicers thronged the grounds until nearly midnight. Visitors were here from many states, in eluding South Carolina. Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Ohio, and many other states De- spite the large crnvyds present. Sheriff C C. Smoot told a Ref-Ord reporter Thursday evening at 9:30 o’clock that not an arrest had been made during the day or evening.

Philo Vance is my middle name.” Stewart picked up the note lying on the desk. “You’d better open the investigation by accept ing this.” “The Reyburn girl’s invitation to dine on Thanksgiving day? I would feel like a spy, a traitor. The tur key would choke me.” “Do you want the truth about this will?” . “You bet I do.” “Then go. Don’t write. We never send a letter when we can send a man. Phone the night before that you are coming. She’ll have less time in which to think why you are accepting.” Brooke Reybura stood in the door way of the living-room at Lookout House. Behind her in the hall a graceful circular stairway wound up and up. She nodded approval. The room was the perfect setting she had visualized for the duchess of Argyle since the day she had known that her father had willed her the portrait. The green of Hie walls and trim repeated the color of the satin gown of the woman in the dull gold frame which hung above the mantel of carved black Italian mar ble, repeated also the shade of the feathers of the dozing parrot in a gilded cage, threw into relief dark polished surfaces of mahogany. > She had had everything that she !bought belonged to his family stored in the apartment over the garage. Curious that she had found so little silver. She looked at the door which Mary Amanda Dane had told her opened into the twin house. Some thing uncanny about it. Whenever she was in the room it drew her eyes like a magnet. Mark Trent’s house was on the other side. It had not been lived in for years. What a waste. Had his wife refused to live there? His wife? She couldn’t think of him as having had a wife. Why think of him at all? ’ She resolutely switched her thoughts to her surroundings. This was the same room in which she had first seen Mrs. Dane in her wheel chair, but how different. Then it had been drab and heavy; now it glowed with soft color. She would never forget the pathos hi the woman’s eyes as they had' met hers, nor the eagerness of her greeting. She had registered a passionate vow to make her lovely and attrac tive in appropriate clothes. That had been her job—then—and a thrilling job, too, to help women make the most of their good points. How Mary Amanda Dane had fooled her about money. The crip pled woman had kept her feet firmly on the ground "when it came to spending. Planning inexpensive, at tractive clothes for her had been an exciting .challenge. She had suc ceeded. The frocks had been charm ing, and with her drab wardrobe the invalid had shed much of her crabbedness. LoVely clothes did that for a woman. Pity that more husbands didn’t realize Hie fact. Now she was gone and had left a small fortune behind her. 1 Why had she denied herself so many of the luxuries of life? Brooke blinked long wet lashes and said aloud, as she had said many times since she had come to live at Lookout House: G Em IUe Lorittge W NU Service* “Thank you for everything, Mrs. Mary Aihanda. Thanks billions.’.’ She swallowed the lump which rose in her throat whenever she thought of-the woman’s incredible kindness. Hardly the time to go sentimental when at any moment the family might burst in on her. They were on their way to spend Thanksgiving. For the first time they would see the changes in the house; she had postponed their coming until it should be in perfect or der. The honk-honk of an automobile horn outside was followed by voices singing lustily: “ ‘Over the river and through the wood, Trot fast, my dapple-gray I Spring over the ground. Like a hunting hound For this is Thanksgiving day.’ ” The gay chorus was followed by laughter and vociferous cries: “Whoa there! Stand still, Light ning! Whoa!” Laughing, Brooke dashed for the front door. It was so like the Rey- burn family to dramatize its arrival. In a rush of cold air and excited greetings she piloted' her mother Laughing, Brooke Dashed for the Front Door. and sister to the library. The star- Hed parrot shrieked, “Stop! Look! Listen!” “Boy, you don’t need a burglar alarm with that announcer. You ought to loan him to a bank.” Lucette made a gamin face at the parrot as she slipped out of her ocelot coat. She dragged off her hat and patted the swirl of her dark hair. Brooke hugged her mother. “It’s wonderful to have you here, Celia Reybunvand aren’t you devastat ing in that eel-gray ensemble!” “Not as devastating as you are in that shimmery white, daughter. It brings out the copper lights in your hair.” Brooke laughed. “We are like two diplomats exchanging compli ments, the difference is that ours come from the heart. Where’s Sam? Don’t tell me Sam isn’t com ing!” Lucette held a lighter to a ciga rette with a faint Mnt of bravado. “Don’t cry, darling. Sam came. Didn’t you recognize' bis voice sing ing as if his IitUe heart would burst from joy as we approached this baronial hall? DoubUess he is kiss ing his peachy convertible good night in your garage. He’s crazy about that coupe you gave him, Brooke. He has named it Light ning. And can it go! Who’s the tall gent with the undertaker expression who pulled our bags from the car as if he were extracting upper and low er molars?” “Henri. He and his wife, Clotilde, worked for years for Mrs. Dane. I kept them'on to help me settle. They take a lot of handling, believe it or not.” “I believe it. This room looks like part of a House Beautiful exhib it. It’s corking.” “Wait till you see the rest of the house, Lucette. Here’s Sam. I would recognize his bang of a door if I heard it in Timbuctoo. Wel come to Lookout House, Sammy! It’s wonderful that the theater closed just at this time.” “Yeah! It’s all in the point of view. There are them who think otherwise. However, I’m not kick ing.1’ He caught Brooke in a bearlike hug. He kept his arm about her as he looked around the room. “Swell joint you’Ve got here. I like the greenhousey smell from those plants. Say listen, we’ve missed you like the dickens, haven’t we. Mother?”“We have, Sam.” Celia Reybum steadied her voice.. “We’d better stop emotioiializing and get ready for dinner. I have kept house years enough to know that promptness at meals helps to keep the homemaker's life’s walk easy.” “You would think of that, Moth er. It isn’t dinner to night. I planned a buffet supper, not being sure at what time my relatives from the big town would arrive. Come upstairs and I’ll show you your rooms.” A family might get on each oth er’s nerves, as of course it did at times, but there was nothing like it, Brooke concluded fervenUy, as after supper on a floor cushion in front of the library fire she leaned against her mother’s knees. Lucqtte burst out nervously: “If Sam can stop that nut-munch ing marathon, perhaps he’ll an nounce the latest Reyburn news flash.” Brooke sat erect. “What news?” Sam took careful aim at the par rot’s perch. The nutshell struck its bullseye and roused Uie dozing bird. “Hell’s bells!” he croaked, and ruffled his feathers. “Looks as if he were caught in a typhoon, doesn’t he?” The laughter in Sam’s voice vanished. “Mother has been invited to spend the winter in England with her friend Lady Jaffrey..” “Sam!” With the exclamation Brooke was on her feet. “Do you mean it? How perfectly grand! She lives in an old castle, doesn’t she?” “Hey, pipe down, Brooke. There’s a nigger in the woodpile. Wait till you hear the condition.” “A condition in Lady Jaffrey’s in vitation, Sam? I can’t believe it.” “Be quiet, children. Let me talk.” Arms crossed on the back of the wing chair in which she had been sitting, Celia Reyburn faced her family. Her cheeks were pink; her eyes, as blue as her son’s, were brilliant with excitement. She clasped her hands tightly as if to steady them. “The chair recognizes the lady from the big city,” Sam encouraged with a grin. “What’s the condition, Mother? Don’t you want to go?” “Very, very much, Brooke, but I shouldn’t enjoy a moment of the visit if I left your brother and sister in that apartment alone. Perhaps I’m a selfish woman, but I- would like to and will go, if my mind is perfectly at ease about Lucette and Sam. If they will come here to you, and if you will have them—” “Have them! Mother, don’t be foolish! I have been rattling around in this big house like a dried coco nut in a shell. Of course I want them—but will they come?” I “Who’s being foolish now?” Lu cette flung her cigarette into the fire. Her cheeks were almost as red as her painted lips. “Of course we’ll come, Brooke Reybum. Of course, we’ll play ball Mother’s way. Sam and I aren’t cold-blooded fish. If taking to the sticks to be chap eroned by big sister will make Mother’s visit happier, we’ll settle down here with bells on. She’s) earned all the fun she can get. She’ll have one grand time and mow those stiff Britishers down in swaths and come home Countess Whoosit, or I miss my guess.” “Lucette!” Celia Reyburn pro tested indignantly. “Don’t mind her Mother,” Broke reassured. “By the time you re turn your younger daughter will have acquired ' all the social graces—” “Just a minute! Now I make a condition. I come only if I keep on with my job.” “It would mean early and late commuting, Lucette.” “I’ve thought that out. In Sam’s convertible we can make it.” VBut you and Sam won’t be com ing down at the same time, and—” “Don’t be so sure, Brooke.” Sani aimed a nutshell at the parrot. “The theater has closed permanently and I’m up against one of those simple economic problems, where’s the next job coming from? I’ll go to New'York to see off Mother and take my play. Now that producers have begun to sniff around for bar gains, I may get my chance." “Sam—dear—” Brooke attempted to lighten her dismayed voice. Bad enough for him to be out of work without having her turn sob-sister. “You’ll find something. I read the other day that the theater is on the up-grade. If you don’t—oh, Sam my, what a chance for you to write! Why not give your play a try-out here? We’ll do it for the town’s welfare fund, in the Club House theater. What a chance to try ‘Is lands Arise’ on the dog!” “News flash! The Reyburns stage a play!” Lucette cut in. “Why not?” Brooke persisted ea gerly. “Most of the summer homes are to be kept open during the win ter and—Answer the phone, will you, Sam? Take the message for me. I’ve been pestered to death by tradespeople and insurance agents wanting to sell me something. Tell them I’m out of town for the eve ning—anything.” The silence, of the room was broken only by the snap and hiss of the fire as Sam Reyburn put the receiver of the handset to his ear. “Hulloa.—Yes.—Miss Rayburn is out of town for the evening.—Sure, she’ll be back tomorrow.—Oh, it is! —Yes, I’ll give her your message. She’ll be pleased !purple.—I !get you. m tell her. ’Bye!” He laid the phone on the stand. . “Who was it, Sam? What wiil please me purple?” Brooke demanded uneasily. “A party by Hxe name of Trent." “ What did he want?” “Not much.

The nation of Israel was under the direct government of God—a theocracy as distinguished from a monarchy, or a democracy. God spoke to them through his servant Moses, but his relationship to the people was far more intimate than that of a distant power delivering laws through a representative. God dwelt in the midst of his people, and today we consider how he made provision for a place in which to meet with them, for a holy priest hood to minister before him, and made known his personal presence by a manifestation of his glory. I. A Place to Meet God (Exod. 25:1, 2, 8, 9; 29:43-46). Every place of worship, whether the tabernacle in the wilderness, or a church on a busy city street, testifies to the fact that man is indeed “incurably religious.” He is a spiritual being, made by God for fellowship with himself. He is never satisfied until he meets God, The pattern or plan for the taber nacle was given by God (v. 9), and was to be followed in every detail. But note that the people were to make a willing offering of all that was needed for its construc tion. God gives man the glorious privilege of partnership' with him. Shortsighted and foolish is the man who grumbles because the church needs money. A father might just as well grieve because his children outgrow their clothing. Thank God if your church is alive and grow ing, and be glad for the opportuni ty to buy it some “new clothes.” Sacrificial gifts and faithful build- i n g according to God’s plan, brought to completion a place of meeting which God sanctified and accepted. n . Priests to Minister to God (w . 44,45). Note, first, that they were men called of God. Those who stapd to minister to him for the people dare not appoint themselves, o r seek an appointment by men. They must be “God-called.” They were also sanctified, or or dained, by God; Only as men act in true recognition of God’s selection and setting apart of his chosen servants does ordination have real meaning. Finally, notice that the priests were “to minister to” God. His servants are to serve him, and thus to meet the need of the people for whom they speak. They are “put in trust with.the gospel,” and there fore to “so . . . speak; not as pleasing men, but God” (I Thess. 2:4).. If you have that kind of a pastor, praise God for him, and give him your earnest support and encouragement. m . The Presence of God (Exod. 29:45, 46; 40:34-38). He dwelt in the midst of his peo ple. Christians also know what it means to haye “God Vdth us,” for such is the Very meaning of the name “Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23). He it was who as the living Word “became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).For our further instruction and blessing let us observe that when God dwelt with his people his glory "filled the tabernacle” (v. 34). Is that true of our churches? Have we so loved God and so fully yielded ourselves and our churches to him that he is free to fill the place with his glory? The word “abode” in v. 35 is significant. What blessed peace and assurance must have come to Is rael when they knew that God had come to abide with them. In this world of transitory things we need such an anchor for the soul—God’s abiding presence. But God’s people must move on. There are victories to be won, a promised land to take. So we read that the cloud arose when they were to move forward, and when it was “not taken up, then they journeyed not until the day that it was taken up.” The Psalmist tells us that "the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord” (Ps. 37:23). I believe it was George Mubller of blessed memory who inserted three words —“and the stops.” Ihe man, or the church, or the nation, that trust God* will have both "steps” and “stops” “ordered by the Lord.” Intimate With Chic Beginning of Eternal Life Eternal life does not just mean that when our bodies ..die our souls last on. It means a kind of life which we can begin to live here and now, and which cannot be destroyed by death because it is united with God.—A Day Book of Prayer. Always an Answer A little girl was once teased by a skeptic, who remarked that God had not answered her prayer. "Yes,” she said, “he answered. He said no.” - -__-— — *-— , THE iTpHE lovely flower may have been born to blush unseen, Mi lady, but not you.

Colman the place of the first American playwright. The earliest theater in America was built in 1716 at Wil liamsburg, Va., says a writer in the Indianapolis News. Fifteen years later, Mat Medley’s company, play ing “The Fool’s Opera,” made the first theatrical tour of the English colonies. In 1749, an attempt was made to play Addison’s “Cato” in Philadelphia, but the players were arrested and the project abandoned. It was not until 1766 that a theater, the “Southwark,” was built in that city. The New Amsterdam Dutch wrere indifferent to the theater, but after British occupation, the city’s night life was gayer and many young British, officers took part in the theatricals. The old John Street theater in New York was built in 1767. When the house was sold out, it brought in $800, .and sporting young gentle men of the city vied with each oth er for the privilege of occupying the few special seats on the stage. Washington frequently attended its performances and the greatest ac tors of the day, all of whom were styled “comedians,” appeared. It was here that “Hamlet” made its initial appearance in America. Ma jor Andre, later executed as a'spy, was a scene painter, and many of the successful scenic effects at the old theater were his. John Henry, Irish actor, came from Covent Gar den, London, to play “The Beaux’ Stratagem” at this theater, and be came America’s first matinee idol. On another occasion a group of Cherokee chiefs witnessed “Richard III.” As a return favor, they offered t(i give an Indian war dance. The offer was accepted and billed ac cordingly, with the result that the . house was filled to overflowing. A young English actor of those early days, Lewis Hallam, caused consid erable comment, playing Romeo to his mother’s Juliet. Muskmelon May Have Been Grown as Early as l597 Strictly speaking we don’t have cantaloupes in the United States. That term refers to a certain va riety of the muskmelon grown in Europe. Named for Cantalupo cas tle in Italy, wtere it was first grown in Europe, the cantaloupe has • hard warty rind and a reddish- orange flesh. However, we in the United States have blithely referred to any muskmelon as a cantaloupe, . until today dictionaries discriminate between the English and the Ameri can versions, writes Lona .Gilbert in the Los Angeles Times. Don’t get the idea, however, JuM because of the European-American lingual differences that the muskmelon is a native of either. The melon is indigenous to Asia. Cen turies ago the Egyptians borrowed the idea from the Orientals and raised an inferior melon, but a muskmelon for all that. Botii the Bomans and the Greeks knew musk- melons, but the latter, in writing of them, sometimes confused them with cucumbers. Melons were brought to France in 1629 we know, and flourished thereafter, although they may have been grown in that' country as early as 1597. We say “may” be cause the authority telling of them confused them sometimes with .gourds. True Value of Steel The value of steel varies greatly, the price depending upon the arti cles into which it is fashioned. If a bar of steel costing I pound is made into horseshoes, the finished product would fetch about 2 pounds. If the same bar is made into nee dles, they would fetch'70 pounds, if into penknife blades, about 6,500 pounds, and into watch springs no less than 50,000 pounds! Very often, when made into precision instru ments or hardened into delicate .tools, steel has a greater value, weight for weight, than gold, and it is the most useful of all metals for engineering work. Without steel, as-' serts London Tit-Bits Magazine, industry would be temporarily dis located, for another metal equally cheap that would lend itself to tem pering, would have to be found. Parks in Ontario In the province of Ontario there are three national parks; one on Georgian bay, another at Point Pe- Iee on Lake Erie, in southern On tario; and the third among the Thousand Islands. The Georgian Bay park consists of thirty islands. Beausoleil, the largest, Is a favorite resort. Point Pelee, the most southerly point in Canada, is a resting place for many migratory birds. Thirteen islands among the Thou sand Islands, in the St. - Lawrence river, between Morrisburg and Kingston, are reserved for Ontario’s other recreational area. Bolding Up Bridal Party Holding up the bridal party after 'the wedding is 'fcommon, especially in old English villages. A flower decked rope is stretched across the street and kept there until the bride groom pays the toll to Cupid’s high waymen. In .French Savoy when a girl marries a young man from an other village, her friends barricade the road until the groom “sets them, up.” Far from resenting this cus tom, the bride judges her.popularity by the size of the crowd that stops her. . Knights Templar Date* B acktotheM iddleA ges The Knights Templar or Knights of the Temple mentioned in Ivanhoe was one of the great military reli gious orders of the Middle ages. Or ganized in the year 1118, during the Crusades, to aid. in the defense of Jerusalem, they called themselves the Order of Poor Knights of Christ, or Knights of Uie Temple of Solo mon, from their headquarters in Jerusalem. They grew to be one of the most powerful organizations in Europe, and their great wealth aroused the jealousy and cupidity of princes. Finally in 1312 the order was suppressed and their property was seized, largely by the French and English kings. The present Knights Templar is a Masonic fraternity, notes a writer in the Detroit News: The Americana encyclopedia states that the tradition that the “Baldwin En campment,” which up to the middle of the Nineteenth century had been conceded to be the witness that Masonic Knights Templars were de scendants of the Knights of the Crusades, is not accepted. Its earliest accredited document bears date 20. December 1780. The first reference to the Knights Templars as allied to Masonry is dated 1769. The theory is that a connection existed between the chiv- alric order of Kmghts Templar and the fraternity of'Operative Masons in medieval times, because bodies of skilled workmen erected the Templar strongholds in the Holy Land and their churches and prior ies in Scottish Masonry of the transmission of the chivalric degrees ev er since the execution of the last Grand Master of the Templarsi Jacques de Molai, in 1314, Iceland Island Settled in Part by Irish Monks Iceland, an island in the north Atlantic, has an area of 39,709 square miles, nearly equal to that of Kentucky. It is built up of volcanic rocks, pierced by fjords and gorges, creating rugged but beauti ful scenery. Glaciers are numerous, the largest being Vatna, which rises 6,400 feet above sea level. ' The island was settled in part by Irish monks toward the end of the Eighth century, the Northmen com ing 100 years later. Between 93C and 1264, relates 'a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Icdand was an independent republic, but by the “Old Treaty*’ of 1263 the country recognized the rule of the king of Norway. In 1381, Iceland, together with Norway, came under the rule of the Danish kings, but when Norway was separated from Denmark in 1814, Iceland remained under the rule of Denmark. Since December I, 1918, it has been ac knowledged as a sovereign state, and is united with Denmark only through the identity of the sovereign. During June and July there is practically no night in Iceland. The sun goes down for a few minutes at midnight, but soon rises again. Cattle raising is the leading occupa tion of the island. Sheep, of which millions are raised, are diminutive in size, their fleece being very thick. The country has long beetf fa mous for its culture and literary activities. Strange Toads From Brazil Among the curious aquatic crea tures in the aquarium of the London zoo are the Pipa toads from the swamps of Northern Brazil. Their heads are triangular in shape and as flat as half-crown pieces. Their “fingers” are long and slender and terminate in star-shaped tips, while the toes are so broadly webbed that, when extended, they resemble half- opened umbrellas. Their eggs, re ports a London paper, up to about a hundred in number, are deposited, with the help of the male, upon the back of the female, where they sink into the skin, which, during the breeding season, is spongy and yielding. The cavities so formed become covered after a few days with a homy lid. Nearly three months later the young toads lift up the lids and emerge as perfect little finding Wivtiii la Spain In Spain many a man sees his fature wife first on the street. If she appears attractive, he follows her to And out where she lives,’ and (hereafter he spends a part of every day in silent courtship beneath her balcony or before the barred win dows. U tier parents approve, some day he will see a little white hand pluck a blossom from the vine that climbs on the patio within and throw. It to him. Then the real wooing begins. If the girl lives on the ground floor, the path of love is smooth, but the dark eyes that flash from windows higher up must mix pining in .their gaze to convey the words that can not be uttered. Most Primitive Inflfenw The Seminoles, the most primitive Indians in the country, live on small islands of about'-an acre*that rise above the water of the Florida; Ev erglades. They hunt and fish in long,’ narrow canoes which they pole through the labyrinthine waterways. Their houses have no walls, but con sist merely of platforms canopied with palmetto leaves. Their fires burn continuously. They are made of trunks of cypress trees which radiate from the fire like spokes from ' a huh,, and are gradually pushed into the burning center. “Come , to Nuncheon” Words are constantly changing. “Apple," for instance, comes from the Anglo-Saxon “aeppel,” and onee everyone in Britain called it “nap- ple.” The word “butterfly” was orig inally “flutter by,” a more appro priate'description. “Luncheon” was once “nuncheon,” and, in fact, nun cheon is still an alternative word, though seldom used, says London Tit-Bits Magazine. In olden times laborers in the fields disliked work ing in the noonday heat, so they shunned it and came in for a meal, which was known as “noonchion.” There are many other words in the English language which have be come twisted in the course of centuries—though a horse was never "a norse,” as some would have it.

Thirty eight s 0 c i a-1 security checks for old age assistance to per sons formerly on the relief rolls of the county arrived here from Raleigh Saturday morning and: E Clyde Hunt, county welfare super intendent, and the case workers of the department 'immediately went •into action to place the checks -in the hands of the beneficiaries.— Lexington Dispatch. These 38 checks totaled $329. We wonder how much it cost the state and Davidson county to dis pense this small sum to the needy? If the welfare officer and two or three assistants are getting salaries similar to those paid in other coun ties, their salaries for the month of July would be around $475, an amount greater than the total paid out in old-age pensions for July. How Many Pigs Drown ed? * ■ With pork chops'bringing the highest price in eleven years, >f Southern farmers had been giving more thought to hogs they wouldn' t now be tearing their shirt to get a federal loan on their surplus cotton —Statesville Daily. If President Roosevelt hadn’t compelled farmers to drown mil lions of pigs and brood sows, the price of meat would be in reach of even the WPA worker and the old age pension. Don’t blame the farmers for the high cost of meat. Back to ‘29? * “ Business is back to . the 1929 level”, announces a democratic daily on. one news page'of the paper, while President Roosevelt is asking for a billion and a half for relief to the needy and unemployed. Sounds peculiar to us. If business is back to normal, and we see it in every way it can be said in these same democratic newspapers every day we read one, then why should the president aBk for one Shd a half Billion Dollars to spend for relief and unemployment. Something is wrong somewhere, grandma, because it Just won’t work out like that. Maybe these papers want the business may to think Roosevelt has put the country on it feet and' they want the class on re lief to think Rooseyelt is feeding them.

T ; ■■■ Hard On Both Sides. “ It was thought for a while that count j- homes would pass out of existence under the -Old Age As sistance, but this.is almost an im possibility,” savs the Shelby Daily Star.-- ‘Many of the inmates are under the 65 while others do. not Iiaye relatives^ ;#hdSe^fii>mes- theyWBoseWiomes might go. for care . when. govern ment assistance is given them.” Tbe Columbia State has been ur ging immediate attention ot legis lative delegations, along with muni cipal councils, to the current dis tress arising out of the lapse be tween curtailment of WPA relief and the availability of other relief funds, including old age benefits. The State has described the plight of many iti its own and other coun ties in South Carolina as acutely distressing. In regard to old age assistance, “on which high hopes have been builded,” the Roxboro Courier says: ’-From every indication those old people who are pinning tbeir hopes on the old age assistance are in for deep disappointment; At first it was stated those in dire need would get around $30 a month, and then it- was stated that the' average Would be something like $12, and now we heat it stated that in this good county (Person) the average wiil be only about $8 a month.” The Luniherton Robesonian is told “that the average for Robeson county will be $6 to $8” a- month. “In another way the application of this new agency for assistance of destitute aged folks will be a dis appointment. Many have had the idea that this assistance would be extended to evety aged person who was without personal means of sup port. But it seems not. If any member of the family of the per son who applies is able to provide for that person, the door ls sbut. “ Which seems entirely proper, only it is not the way some mem bers of the Legislature who voted tor It thought it would work.” The several statements quoted, gleaned almost at random from newspapers of the last few. days, give somewhat of a picture of the current old age benefit situation under the Social Security program, as;it affects ttmse who aresupposed to be the benefipiaries of, the system The following further quotation from the Lumberton Robesonian gives.a true but' incomplete: picture of the situation as it affects' those Who must provide the money-': for t.heSocial Security program; ' “ It seems a pity that with such a worthy objective, the social securi - ty law should be Vsp: cumbersome Who Keeps The Books?

Al most it seems that the law is more concerned about adding to the troubles -and expenses of business men and concerns than about "aid ing those whom it is supposed to aid, It provides some easy berths for deserving politicians and makes, it hard for many who have been supporting themselves and others by honest labor and dividing with the less fortunate to keep off the relief rolls themselves. “The social security act in opera tion tends to dry up the milk of human kindness in away, for many who would gladly give twice the a mount, if tne could earn it, are put to so much needless expense and trouble in paving what the law de mands that they may be inclined to deny themselves the joy of volun tary giving, even if they had any thing to give after the law takes its p^und of flesh. “ It seems that those who framed the law did not omit piling on: all the red tape and expense they could ” If you happen to know or can contact a worthy respectable and honorable old person who through misfortune is destitute and ~ has been driven to'seek old age bene fits under the Social Security plan, ask him or her about it,. and you probably will find that there is no end of red tape and expense in volved for the beneficiaries as well as for those who have to supply the funds.

QUESTION ASD AN-WER. Q k-sm -n: Will you kindly inform me whether registration under th« bocial Security Act is . compulsory;, and if not, in what manner my em ployer can be correspondingly reliev ed of the payments for old-age bene* fits.. .1 am not interest:d in the Iat ter personally and would welcome information since.the one per1 cent, deduction now in effect is too keenly felt in the family^ budget to make, it practical or desirable. Answer: Ifyou vare rbgaged in employment not specifically excepted under Titl VIll of the Social-Secur ity Act. and are under 65 years of age. your employer is- required by the Social Security Act to deduct one per cent, of your wages to the collector of internal revenue each month. Every employer of one or more persona ; wbo is engaged in business hot specifically excepted un der Title VHI of the Act, comes un der the Social Security Act, and there is no way whefebv he can be relieved.ef, deduc ing one .per. cent, from your wages and paying onepei cent. himself to the Bureau of In ternal Revenue each month. You should go to your Social Security Board field office and get a Sociai Security Account Number, and re port it to vour employer, who is re sponsible for making the deduction* required by the law. When you reach the age of 65, if you havt worked one day in each of five differ ent calendar years in a covered em ployment you will be entitled to a monthly old-age benefits payment If you should die before reaching 65. your dependants would be entitled to a lump-sum payment under the old-age benefits provisions of the Act. Question: I employ a large num ber of persons. In the past my firm has used metal work numbers for my employee’s identification. Would the Social Security Board object if my firm had the individual Social Security account numbers of each employee placed on metal tags, and used as employee identification work numbers? This would greatly, sim plify my records, and at the same time give each one of my employees a more durable number than the one they have at the present lime. Answer: The Social Security Board would have no objection to your having your employees’ Social Secur ity account numbers reproduced on metal tags, .to be used -as identifica tion work nuifibc r . The account number of each employee is his own and of course could not be used for anyone else, and if an employee left your employ that number is still his. It should be carefully explained to the employee that that is bis Social Security account number for life and that he should preserve that number. Social Security account numbers may not be used in any commercial, way by any employer. Question: I expect to get married and change my name. Should I have my Social Security number voided or get another one? Anstyer: You should write to the Social Security Board Records Office; Candler Building. Baltimore, Mary land, giving your account number, your name in-ivhich the number was issued, and your new name. Your number will remain' the same, but your new name will appear on your Sociai Security Ledger Account in the Records Office. ■ Colorado’s High Peaks There are more than 30 peaks In Colorado which exceed an elevation of 14,000 feet. .............

'• One of the mysteries of life for common mortals is the things doc tors write on prescriptions. AU you know is that you’re going to take some'medicine,"but you haven’t the'" least idea what it is. Y»u take it with faith in the doctor. "Cured by faith” is not such an empty phrase after ail. A few days ago our doctor gave us a prescription, and as we started for the pharmacy we tried to read the thing. "Phen- acetin” was the only word we could make out. "Ho, ho and ha, ha!” we cried, " We are going to find, out - about- this.” So we consulted the dictionary, and we found this: “ PhenaCetin is a white crystalline compound used in medicine, princi pally as a febrifuge.” And there were we—more ignorant than ever.

Emperor KaneTeb Peiping Gets "Protection" M A LTHOUGH Nanking is pre- paring to wage a destructive war, do not be afraid. “The Japanese army will protect you.” Leaflets contain ing these words flut tered from the skies to come to rest in the hands of resi dents of the ancient Chinese c a p ita l, Peiping. As the air planes which spread the news hummed overhead, a brigade of 3,000 Japanese soldiers, in com mand of Maj. Gen. Torashimo Kawabe m a r c h e d through the city, taking possession of it in the name of Tokyo. What would be the result of the new Japanese domination apparent ly begun by Maj. Gen. Kawabe was a matter for speculation. Chinese residents, long since convinced that the inevitable would happen, took it calmly enough. Some of them voiced their belief that the former boy emperor or China, Tsuan Tung (Henry Pu-Yi), since 1934 Emperor Kang Teh of Manchukuo, would re turn to his throne in Peiping. He would then rule over North. China as well as Manchukuo, as a puppet for whom Japan would pull the strings. Japanese control was extended in Tientsin when the Japanese co commissioner of the Chinese salt administration announced he had taken over the administration’s Tientsin district. This includes the Changlu salt fields, with production valued at more than $3,000,000 a year and formerly a government monopoly. —*— New York's Share Cut P:ENATOR ROBERT F. WAG- NER’S (Dem., N. Y.) $726,000,- 000 housing bill was passed by the senate, 64 to 16, but the senator scarcely recognized it when his fel lows were done with it. Senator Wagner and other admin istration leaders struggled frantical ly to defeat an amendment by Har ry F. Byrd (Dem., Va.) limiting the cost of housing projects to $1,000 a room or $4,000 a family unit. Result of the struggle: The upper house, which originally passed the amend ment 40 to 39, defeated a motion to reconsider by 44 to 39. The bill originally called for ex penditures up to $1,500 a room or $7,000 a family unit. Opponents conceded that the Byrd amendment would prohibit the building of the type of houses Senator Wagner had in mind in New York City, but con tended that $4,000 was enough to spend for housing one family. Per sons of extremely low income could not pay the rent anyway, they ar gued. Some senators charged that the Wagner bill was designed to afford the bulk of the housing appropria tion to New York. This was pre vented by the adoption of an amend ment by Millard E. Tydings (Dem., Md.) Which limited the share of any one state to 20 per cent. This would permit New York no more than $140,000,000 of the $700,000,000 in loans, and no more than $4,000,000 a year of the proposed $20,000,000 in rent subsidies. Senator Tydings al so obtained adoption of an amend ment which would require local housing project sponsors to pay 5 per cent of the total cost and 5 per cent of the rental subsidies. —-K- Where Was John L. Lewis? . W ILLIAM GREEN, president of the American Federation of Labor, emerged as the administration’s favorite son in matters affect ing labpr as he was permitted vir tually to write his own amendments to the house version of the wages and hours bill. The senate had passed the bill, 56 to 23, only after President Roosevelt had called Green to the White House and per suaded him to give lukewarm ap-'' proval to the measure, with the un derstanding that the house would amend it. Southern Democrats in the senate, led by Pat Harrison of Mississippi, bitterly opposed the bill, but their motion to recommit it to committee was defeated, 48 to 36. The same vigorous opposition was expected from Dixie’s representatives in the house labor committee, but the “Green amendments” (so called be cause of the federation president’s complete domination of the commit tee meeting) patched up the essen tial differences. The bill, as passed by the senate, would create a labor standards board empowered to set minimum wages up to 40 cents an hour and maximum work weeks down to 40 hours. The house committee had intended to extend the limits to per mit the board to set wages at 70 cents aind hours as low as 35. Un der Green’s Influence the house com mittee decided to accept the senate provisions on this part of the meas ure, but the scope of the board was greatly curtailed by an amendmentL.. . - • " — A.

The ‘‘Green amendments” in brief are: I. Board jurisdiction over wages and hours in.any industry only if it finds that collective bargaining agreements do not cover a sufficient number of employees or facilities for collective bargaining are inef fective. . 2. Acceptance of wage-hour stand ards established by collective bargaining in any occupation as prima facie evidence of appropriate stand ards in that occupation. 3. Board cannot alter wage-hour standards already prevailing in oc cupation in community considered, or establish classification in any community which affects adverse-. Iy the prevailing standards in the same or other communities. 4. Industries are protected against prison-made goods. 5. “Label provision” of original act is eliminated to protect indus try from what is Considered a nui sance. 6. Government work is removed from the board’s control and placed under the Walsh-Healey- act. Chairman Mary T. Norton (D., N. J.) of the labor committee indicat ed the bill would be brought up in the house under a special ride and speedily passed. — * — Senate O. K.'s Court Reform A LL that was left of the admin- ^ istration’s sweeping court re form proposals passed the senate in an hour without a record vote. This was the procedural reform bill for the lower federal courts. It was in the nature of a substitute for the Sumners bill in the house of repre sentatives, and went back to the house for what was expected to be a peaceable conference.Vice President Garner whipped the measure through, even though Senators McDuffey (Dem.', Pa.) and Lewis (Dem., 111.) loudly protested that they wanted to go on record as opposed to it. The bill, as summarized by Sen. Warren R. Austin (Rep., Vt.), who wrote most of it, included: Provision making it the duty of the District court, in any constitutional suit between private citizens, to notify the Department of Justice that upon a showing by the attorney general that the United States had a probable interest the government would be made a party to the suit. Permission for the senior circuit judge to reassign district judges within that circuit for the purpose of clearing congested dockets. (If necessary, a judge may be trans ferred from one circuit to another.) Permission for direct appeal to the Supreme court, if 30-day notice is given, from any decision of a District court against the constitu tionality of an act. Requirement that all suits for in junction against the operation of federal statutes to be heard by a three-judge court, including at least one circuit court of appeals judge. - — .

Do you think I’m crazy?” I told her she was the smartest young woman I knew. If I were asked to describe the race in any by gone period since printer’s ink came into . common use, I’d turn to the ad vertising in the pa pers and periodicals of that particular age. For then I’d know what people wore and what they ate and what their sports were a n d Irvin S. Cobb t h e i r follies and their tastes and their habits; know what they did when they were healthy and what they took when they were sick and of what they died and how they were buried and where they expected to go after they left here—in short, I’d get a pic ture of humanity as it was and not as some prejudiced historian, writ ing then or later, would have me believe it conceivably might have been. I’d rather be able to decipher the want ad on the back side of a Chal dean brick than the king’s edict on the front—that is, if I craved to get an authentic glimpse at ancient Chaldea. * * * Running a Hotel. I ’VE just been a guest at one of the best small-town hotels in Amer ica. I should know about good ho tels because, in bygone days, I stopped at all the bad ones. The worst was one back E ast- built over a jungle of side tracks. I wrote a piece about that hotel. It had hot and cold running cock roaches on every floor and all-night switch-engine service; the room towels only needed buttons on them to be peekaboo waists, but the rollei towel in the public washroom had, through the years, so solidified that if the house burned down it surely would have .been left standing. The cook labored under the delusion that a fly was something to cook with. Everybody who’d ever registered there recognized the establishment. So the citizens raised funds and tore down their old hotel, thereby making homeless wanderers of half a million resident bedbugs; and they put up a fine new hotel which paid a profit, whereas the old one had been losing money ever since the fall of Richmond. A good hotel is the best adver tisement, any town can have, but a bad one is just the same as an extra pesthouse where the patients have to pay.* • * Poor Lo’s Knowledge. COMETIMES I wonder whether ° we, the perfected flower of civ ilization—and if you don’t believe we are, just ask us—can really be as smart as we let on. Lately, out on the high seas, I met an educated Hopil who said to me: “White people get wrong and stay wrong when right before their eyes is proof to show how wrong they .are. For instance, take your de lusion that there are only four direction points—an error which you’ve persisted in ever since you invented the compass, a thing our people never needed. Every Iadian knows better than that.” “Well then,” I said, “how many are there, since you know so much?” “Seven,” he said, “seven in all.” “Name ’em,” I demanded. “With pleasure,” he said. “Here they are: north, east, south, west, up, down and here.” Of course, there’s a catch in it somewhere, but, to date, I haven’t figured it out. • * * The Rnssian Puzzle. T T NDER the present beneficent ^ regime, no prominent figure in Russia’s government; whether military or civil, is pestered by the cankering fear which besets an offi cial in some less favored land, namely, that he’ll wear out in har-, ness and wither in obscurity. All General So-and-Soski or Com missar Whatyoumaycalloviteh has to do is let suspicion get about that he’s not in entire accord with ad- ^ministration policies and promptly he commits suicide—by request; or is invited out to be shot at sunrise. To be sure, the notion isn’t new. The late Emperor Nero had numer ous well-wishers, including family relatives, that he felt he could spare and he ,-just up and spared them. And, in our own time, Al Capone built quite an organization for tak ing care of such associates as seemed lacking in the faith. 'Twas a great boon to the. floral design business, too, while it lasted. But in Russia where they really do things—there no job-holder need ever worry about old age. Brer Stalin’s boys will attend to all nec essary details, except the one, for merly so popular in Chicago, of sending flowers to the fiflieral. IRVIN S. COBB.O-WNU Service. Katfonal Topics Interpreted by WilIiaUt Brackart Kstlonat Press Buliains W xhlngton, P. C. Washington.—President Roosevelt stated to the newspaper correspond- _lf ents in his pressWantt Crop conference the oth- CotOrolBack er day that crop control must be brought back. He said it with some emphasis. Within a few days before -that, he had given hisapproval to a bill placing a minimum "on wages and a maximum on hours in which labor could work in industries whose productions enter into interstate commerce. The President was not specific as to details of the legislation in either case but it is important to note that he has reaffirmed his position on these two principles for it is to be remembered that both the NRA and the AAA were thrown out by the Supreme court a long time ago, and the President seeks now to restore them in another form. This circumstance would seem to confirm assertions that have been made in various quarters lately that the President wants to maintain a “planned economy” for this coun try. It would seem that he is de termined to go ahead along those lines and that his program for reor ganizing the Supreme court was a part and parcel of the scheme. In other words, the President’s new declaration about crop control and wages and hours and his support of the Wagner housing bill represent a return to the original theories which he held for “remaking” our nation. After discussing these circum stances pro and con with proponents as well as opponents in the con gress, the conclusion is inescapable that Mr. Roosevelt and his advisers are headed into new ground. They desire evidently to make the federal government the most important fac tor in our national life and to set aside little by little the functions of state and local governments by their course of action. Undoubtedly there Is strong argu ment for the policies they have adopted; certainly, there are many functions which the national govern ment can perform more effectively and more efficiently than they can be performed by state governments, and equally, it is true that some phases t>f our national life should not be subjected to the influence of state lines. On the other hand, there sure ly is valfa reason why Washington bureaucrats should not be allowed to interfere in the daily practices and convictions of individuals. The reason I believe all of this is' so important now is that always there has been a tendency of federal functions to expand. To say this in another way: Federal of ficials from the lowest to the high est seem to be equipped with a par ticular faculty for delegating to themselves additional authority as soon as they are accorded power. What the country should fear then, it seems to me, is the steady en croachment upon the rights of states and thereafter the rights of individ uals. Perhaps I should have re versed the order and should have said, first, encroachment upon the rights of individuals and, second, thereafter encroachment upon the rights of states. Now, there are those persons in considerable number who believe sincerely that the federal govern ment is the agency through which all public functions should operate. I cannot agree. Rather, long ex perience in Washington convinces me that the old, old argument for state rights—so long one of the ten ets of the Democratic party—has too much merit to be overthrown without consideration for the effects of the new theories. It may be that human nature has changed enough to accept new theories and live happily thereunder but I am quite convinced that human native does not change so fast. ' * * • To get down to cases in applica tion of the principles discussed , above, let us con-W ages and sider the wages Hours Bill and hours bill.T h a t m e a su re shows how this encroachment takes place and gives a rather clear pic ture of the expansive nature of fed eral policies. The wages and hours bill first creates a labor standards board. It is circumscribed by certain limitations which say that it cannot fix wages above forty cents per hour nor can it reduce the number of working hours per week below forty. Fur ther, a great number of lines of ,work are exempted from jurisdic tion of the board—work of a season al character, farm labor, labor in certain specified industries which obviously cannot be subject to regu lation without destruction of the business itself. Besides these restrictions, there is an implied warn ing in the bill against sudden or. abrupt changes in business prac tices that would dislocate industrial operation or curtail employment. . These delimitations would seem to leave the board without a great deal of authority. Such, however, is not the case. Among those industries remaining under jurisdiction of the board, there is yet as much pow er ;as obtained under NRA and its codes which were so hidebound and so inelastic that thousands of firms were in open rebellion against th# restrictions unless they were able to pass on the higher costs resulting from these restrictions, to the pub lic. That is, unless they could make the consumer pay the added cost, they faced eventual bankruptcy. I do not say that the labor stand ards board as now conceived will go as far as the NRA codes but expe rience with the present national la bor relations board indicates that the public should expect the maxi- muik exercise of power instead of any middle of the road policies. The labor relations board has become a festering sore on private initiative. Business interests everywhere, while being pounded on the back by the administration to employ more workers, are kept in a con stant state of confusion by the bias of the board. This is the board which was designed by Senator Wagner, of New York, to maintain peace be tween labor and employers. If the labor standards board can use dis cretionary powers accorded it and can proceed in correcting abuses of labor as rapidly as is "economically feasible,” it may be able to develop better conditions in industry. But such language as the words “eco nomically feasible” are subject to all kinds of interpretation and if the membership of the labor standards board happens to include some rad ical labdr leader, most anything will be economically feasible. It is from, such quirks of law that bureaucrats expand their powers. * * » But there is yet another phase of this policy that demands consider ation. While the Another United States is Phase one unit under thefederal'govern- ment, it is made up of a number of sectional units and each sectional unit comprises a number of states and even each state in some cases embraces subdivisions where prac tices in business and living traditions, are as different as day and night. A regulation as to the fairness of hours or wages in New England may be, and probably would be, wholly inap plicable in Alabama or Georgia. A regulation that would operate satisfactorily in Pennsylvania may be, and probably would be, completely sour in the Pacific coast states. Yet this board cannot administer its regulations on a piece-meal basis; they must apply to the whole coun try and it is only fair to assume from the existing facts that where as rulings may be advantageous to some sections of labor, they might completely destroy other sections of labor. The same results can be ex pected from the effects of these rul ings on the employers, except that where the effect is adverse on em ployers businesses can be driven into bankruptcy—and the jobs they provided disappear. I think there can be no denying that no law will be successful unless it has the co-operation, the active -support, of a very large majority of the people. If proof be needed, it is only necessary to recall how the prohibition laws were not enforced in those areas where public sym pathy with them was lacking. It does not require very much time to determine whether a law is popu lar. During the life of the NRA, those who opposed such impossible regulations as General Hugh John son dictated were branded by Presi dent Roosevelt at first as “chisel ers.” It was a biting criticism. Yet, within a few monthsthere were more chiselers than there were those who believed that the law could possibly be made to wprk. I am very much afraid that there will be more chiselers under the wages and hours law than there are those who believe in its efficacy.' * • * • " The initial operations of the board and the law probably will not create „ , a great deal of B O tn otaes dissension. But Will Back there will be dis- ,, ’ gruntled groups of workers and there will be dissatis fied employers who will seek' ex emption or changes or special con sideration by regulation. In some cases, obviously, the board will is sue new rules. As likely as not those new rules will upset some other group or region or section and they will demand consideration. Just here, it might be recalled how under the AAA crop control law, wheat, cotton and corn were originally considered but tobacco had to have protection and rice and potatoes and peanuts, and every other farm, product had its cham pions battling for consideration be fore the Supreme' court held that the law with its processing taxes was an invalid delegation of power by congress. Therefore, while I may be “seeing ,things” concerning the labor standards board and the new proposal for crop, control, the records surely support my state ment that anytime the federal government starts a new policy it begins at the same time to enable ex pansion of federal power far beyond the original concept of a program. ® W eklH n N ew spaper O nion. 1Way Back When By JEANNE FAKLEZ WAS ONCE A BJOK- KEEPEB X JO T everyone can be an ir.divid- ualist and blaze his own trail to feme. Some of us are better fit ted for falling into line as part of an organization. James A. Farley’s rise in politics is an example of the rewards which may come to the good lieutenant. Farley - was born In 1889 in Grassy Point, N. Y., a small village on the Kudson river. There were five chil dren, and the father was a saloon keeper. When Jim Farley was ten years old, his father died and his mother started a combination sa loon and grocery store. The boy often tended bar or worked as gro cery clerk on the other side of the store. Through these jobs he learned to‘ meet the public, be Mendly with stranger* and e'Jow asps® sympathy for their problems. He attended the Stony Point high school and the Packard commercial school in New York. Graduating in 1906, he was employed as a bookkeeper. Jim was always interested in poli tics; and, before he was old enough to vote, he called house-to-house, getting out the Democratic vote in Stony Point. His first political job was as town clerk, of Stony Point. He was cour teous to all, jolly, a hale-fellow-well- met sort of man who had a pat on the back for everyone. Through Al fred E. Smith; whom he helped elect governor of New York, and Frank lin D. Roosevelt, for whom e was faithful lieutenant in the Presiden tial campaign, Farley forgeo steadily ahead. He won the top political plum in the United States, post master general. • ' • • POET WAS ONCE A LAWYER RElAD this story of the conven tional lawyer who became one of our most famous poets. Not a dreaming, unsuccessful lawyer, but a man with a profitable and impor tant law practice, important enough to associate .with Clarence Harrow at one time ~ A busy man of com merce who became a writer of songs and poems, sonnets, essays and drama! Edgar Lee Masters was bom in the little town of Garnett, Kan., in 1868. His father was a descendant of old Virginia stock; his mother, the daughter of a Methodist minister and descendant o. Israel Putnam of American Revolutionary'fame. The family moved to Petersburg, 111., and later to Lewistown, where Ed gar was raised in the typically re spectable atmosphere of small town America. He did newspaper work for the local weekly, learned the printing trade, *nd studied law under his father, who wcs one of the leading lawyers in the state. In 1891 Ed gar Lee Masters was admitted to tiie bar and practiced in partnership with his father. The following year he opened his own office ir Chicago where he was a highly successful lawyer until i920. . But even in high school, Edgar Lee Masters was interested in writ ing and he never forgot his am bitions. He contributed to the Wa- verly Magazine of Boston and the Saturday Evening Call of Peoria; he wrote poems for a Chicago news paper. His first book, published in 1898, while he was struggling .to es tablish a practice in Chicago, was called simply “A Book of Verses.” “Songs and Sonnets” followed, but none of them attracted much attention until his “Spoon River 'An thology” was published in 1915.

Successful In this, Japan ivould probably extend her domi nance throughout all the five north ern provinces and virtually all of China south of the Yellow river Valley. ! Japan’s Westward March. '. If Chiang Kai-shek does throw the lull strength of China at Japan, it ■will be a fight to the death. For the* Japanese are full of that strange oriental pride which per mits no loss of prestige. Iltey will fight China to the bitter end be fore they will submit to a compro mise on their derfiands. “Death be fore dishonor!” is more than a slo gan with them. It is a law of na ture as inexorable as the law of gravity. The fighting In North China to day is but another step in Japan's -westward march. Earlier steps were those which resulted in con trol, tantamount to annexation, over the Chinese provinces of Manchuria and Jehol. For a Short time after those steps were' take^i Japani marked time, strengthening her hold upon these provinces,, and fortifying her front against Russiav the eternal enemy. Manchukuo was supposed' to' open up vast, new and desirable' hori zons. Japan’s population of 70,000,- 000 was growing at' the- rate of 1,000,000 a year; her people' needed', more room and more* raw mate^ rials. Since 1931 she haspoured in vestments totaling 1,400,000,000' yert- into the puppet stateV Some re sults were forthcoming—soy Ueansi and kaolaiang, chemicals,' slight in creases in iron ore and1 cod, and' a good increase in oil: shale—but these fell far short of' Nippon’s- hopes. ............. Manchukuo was supposed to' 'open up a great new market '.fof Japa nese manufactured goods; but- the increase in exports to th^ United States for 1935 over 1934 was^etjual to one-third of the total exports-to Manchukuo. As a new hOnie' for Japanese colonists Manchukuo was pretty much of a flop; less than 250,000 Japanese live there today. It was apparent that Japan could not, in pursuing her hegemonic policy, continue marking time for very long. In North China were larger fields for Iicr exports; in addition, the area was that much closer to the great market of China proper. So the Japanese began to cast cov etous eyes upon Hopei, which in cludes the cities of Peiping and Tientsin; Chahar, which lies be* tween Mongolia and Manchukuo; Suiyuan, Shansi and Shantung. They penetrated (peacefully, to be sure) . through Hopei and Chahar, until these two became practically £€lf-governiiig states. ^fcJapanese Spirit Grows. Jn Hopei’s eastern countries, Jap anese influence blossomed into A virtual protectorate. But when it reached a certain pdiiif Japan’s peaceful invasion was halted.- .With the rise of Chiang Kai-Shefef the Chinesi were developing a liew taiity, although they were not. near- Iy sa unified as our states are, for i^jtanfc'e'. Yet the anti-Japanese Spii1I t-,was becoming more \»ide- spread* ,andf Aore 6peri._ It prob ably culttSAaterf in (fie skirmish be- tween ChmeSe and Japariesff at Marco Polo’ BfidgeV which gave tfiSe tfc' the ]$r£ses« grave crisis. It is assumed by jfiJhiJ? dfeeWers? in the Par East thd* the’ iffcident was seized upon by ISjjHdH' ag an excuse for further JapSrieise' inva sion on the pretext of retaliktion, which would extend Japanese <Jon- trol over the five North’ dhitia states and even to the south] even tually. Others contend that Japan^ immediate objective is the strength ening of her grip on Hopei mid Chahar. Yet it cannot be overlooked that- the other three provinces hold rich prizes for Toyyo. Shansi contains more than half of all the coal in Qiina; the other northern provinces are capable of great cotton produc tion for Japanese industries and for the manufacture of gunpowder, so essential to a. militant nation. Japan once imported the bulk of the cottMj erop of China, which is third in the world’s production; but Chi na began to restrict her cotton exports te Japan and left the latter in a bad way. Suiyan and Chahar are extremely important to Japan’s military strategy, for they would act as an efficient buffer along the left flank at her Asiatic front, greatly strengthening her position on the mainland:. Oir the other side of these prov inces lies Sovietized Mongolia. The terrain> of Siiiyuan and Chahar, !Partly included1 in the Cfobi desert, ] is wild- and difficult, and without !satisfactory transportation facili ties. If wouia take only a small, Weltttainedi Japanese army to pre vent penetration' by the Russians !and- to prevent the spread of com- munism* Further; the Japanese, in ^possession of these1 two provinces, ,couldi then puts an' end to their use as-' a' base' tor communist guerilla warfare' against' Manchukuo and Je- Uolj KaiIroadss Key to ControL - On the peninsula of-'Shantung are the rich Yellow-river valley and the'ports-of ChefoO,' Weihaiwei anH Tsingtao. With Hopei and Shansi, Shantung forms the transportation center of North China. In posses sion of the peninsula Japan would be in a position to control the Gulf of Chihli and the Yellow sea. *"->v to domination of China is its , ' system.

Once Japan is iC om plete control of this area her influ ence could follow the rails to the: important city of Kalgan in Chahar, and from there to Paotow in Sui- yuan; into the southwest over the Peiping-Hankow railway to Shih- kiachiang and southern Hopei, and to Taiyuan in Shansi; ^southward from Tientsin to Tsangchow and across the Yellow river to Tsinan, thence southward again to Nan king iteeli and eastward to the port of Tsingtao. These railroads, in ad dition to one across Hopei from Tsangchow to Shihkiachiang which the Japanese wish to build if they can get the permission of China, are of tremendous military impor tance.

As this is being wriBen Gen. Chiang Kai-shek is faced wfih- a de cision that China has had to' Aake again and again since the Japa< nese awakened to the necessity f ^ expansion. Shall he declare operiP warfare against Japan, or shall his national government continue to make feeble protests while the lo cal'troops of the North defend their icdttiitry—ineffectively, as they are Wtlht f® do? Japanese Bettes Equipped. Cfiiiia is more united today than it has* been for many years in the past;:iifdeed the very bond of unity has be%tl the common feeling of indignation' over the encroachment of the Land of the Rising Sun. There arfr many demands for war pouring into1 Nanking from the prov inces. But! the feeling is generally that the time has not yet come for general and unified effort to throw out the invaders. Local Chinese forces in Hopei and Chahar are not equal to the task of repulsing the' Japanese, even though every last man is ready to lay down his life;. The twenty- ninth army is fairly well equipped, but hordes of the provincial troops have only long swords with which to battle airplane bombers, artillery, tanks and machine* guns. lSbe Japanese are ready to make war with the finest modem- parapher nalia, and there are plenty of troops ready for replacements. GhiangrS only hope, if he should declare war, would be to dispatch the1 national government’s best troops to the North China front and -defeat- the. Japanese with, sheer power of huM- bers—for he could outnumber thfem' two to one, and better. Probably he will decide toilet the Japanese have what they want; just as they took what they waht'edi in Manchuria and Jehol. . - . O W estern N ew spaper U nion.’ AROUND Dw HOUSE!

Trents quick glance about as he entered the dining-room at Lookout House. She felt an instant of self-consciousness as she took the seat against the variegated yellow background ot tall mimosas and acacias which filled a broad bay-window, which her mother refused with a quick shake of her head and a smile. She immediately forgot herself in pride of her sporting family. Each one was so gay, so determined to do his or her share to make the party a ;real festivity. Holidays werehard days since her father’s death, but !always someone who was alone had been invited to keep the feast with them. Thinking of others helped immeasurably to bridge the sense of loss, Celia Reyburn argued. The .dinner was a success. Brooke breathed a little sigh of relief as she rose from the table. This Thanks giving dinner had been the first en tertaining in her own home. Of eourse the guests had been her fam ily and Mark Trent only, but she had felt pride in having it a suc cess. As she served coffee from the massive silver tray in the living- room, she glanced at Mark Trent standing before the fire. With his elbow on the mantel, he was talk ing to Celia Reybum seated in a comer of the couch. The orchids he had brought her added the per fect touch to her amethyst frock. Orchids for her mother, gardenias for Lucette, and deep fragrant pur ple violets for his hostess. He had said it with flowers. A lavish gen tleman. Had Henri turned chalky as he had announced dinner, or had she imagined it? He had stared at Mark Trent as if seeing an unwel come apparition. . With a groan of repletion Sam pulled himself out of a deep chair. “Boy, let’s get out and walk! I Jeel like a stuffed, trussed turkey. Why do we eat so much more on Thanksgiving? Because we haven’t any sense. Notice that I’m acquir ing the analytic method, question and answer. Anybody here got the energy to take the shore walk?" “I’ll go with you, Sammy.” CeIia Reyburn smiled at her tall son. “Elaine JaSrey is a great hiker; she will probably walk me all over the British Isles. I must get in practice. Just wait until I change my shoes.*r “Boy, I’m glad we have one sport In the family. Fll bet Lucette has a heavy date, and is expecting someone: Coming, Brooke? Com ing, Mr. Trent?” “Mark to you, I hope, Sam. Do «ome, Miss Reyburn,” Mark Trent urged; “It’s a grand day. After hours of storm, there is enough wind1 to make the surf worth look ing at.”“Worth-looking at” were colorless words to express the grandeur of the shore, Brooke thought, as, standing on a jutting crag, holding on her beret with one hand, skirts blowing, she looked down at the driving current, cold and stealthy in places, in others foaming and tossing white-edged green waves against ledges transformed by the magic of the slanting sun into rud dy copper, dark brown in the crev ices. Spray, diaphanous as a mist from a giant atomizer, iridescent as jeweled malines, shimmered in the light. Beyond the surf a dozen lavender winged gulls floated on the water. An amber green wave out- lashed its predecessors, hissed, roared, broke against a ledge, and showered Frooke with crystal •pray.“Oh!” Instinctively she clutched Mark Trent’s arm. “It—it took my breath!” He drew her back to the path, pulled out his handkerchief, and wiped her wet face. “I should have known better than to let you stand there.” “It wasn’t your fault. I adored It. It made me feel as if every Inch of me- had been electrified. JJTby is it that when we are to- By Emilie Loring ® E m llle L o rln c. W N U S erv ice, - gether I need to be rescued from difficulties? I want to thank you for—” “Please, don’t.”She wondered at the embarrassed fierceness of his voice. “I won’t, except to add that I know I owe my Kfe to you. There, that’s over. I promise never to mention it again.” Spurred by the stimulating air, she took her courage in both hands and plunged.“Won’t you please be friends? I didn’t know Mrs. Mary Amanda Dane had any money, really I didn’t, Mr. Trent.” In the instant that she waited for his answer, sun, sea, the roar of the surf were blotted out. Only his straight-gazing eyes meeting hers were real. They touched her heart, quickly, passionately. Then Mark Trent thrust his handkerchief into his pocket.“Forget that Mr. Trent stuff. Be ing legatees in the same estate— my aunt left me a bank account, you know—ought to make us friends, oughtn’t it?” His voice was light, but she sensed a tinge of irony. “We’d better keep going a we are to walk' around the point before dark. YourmotherandSam went on some time ago. What did she mean when she spoke of hiking over the British Isles?” “She is going to England to visit her college classmate. Of course, I’m crazy to have her go, but—but I didn’t realize how precious she was until I thought of her being so faraway.” “Are your brother and sister go ing?” sSMKSSW k- -Jfc “No. They are to be with me while Mother is away. I am so glad. It will give me heaps to do. I’m not used to this poison-ivy Iei- “Neighbor!” sure that looked so alluring before I had tried it. My life was so full before—” “Before you had Lookout House stuffed down your throat, you mean? I don’t see why the dickens Aunt Mary Amanda tied that string to her legacy, forced you to live in this house.” “It wasn't a string, and she didn’t force me. I like old towns, and I love Lookout House.” “My mistake.” Trent’s laugh turned to a frown. uWhat are the town fathers thinking of to allow a gas station stuck out on this road? Has that house been sold?”Brooke promptly defended the brilliant equipment in front of a small white cottage. “I don’t know who owns the place, but doubtless the town fathers were thinking of giving the poor man who has started the filling-station another chance. I heard that he had money, lost it, began to drink too much, and that a friend set him up in business here hoping to steady him.” “Who told you the story .of his life?” “Henri.'* “Henri! Does he know the man?” “He will have to answer that ques tion. He asked me to buy gas at the new filling-station, and I do to encourage the poor fellow to keep on trying to make good.”“How about encouraging honest Mike Cassidy who started the ga rage at the end of the causeway years ago and has served the public faithfully and unselfishly? He has a wife and five children to support.” Why did his voice rouse opposition in her, Brooke wondered. She had doubts herself lately as to the per manency of the filling-station own er's reform. Twice when she had stopped for gas, a young Irish-'girl had reported the boss as “sick” and she had wondered if he were backsliding. Mark the Magnificent need not know that, however. “Don’t you believe in helping a man to come back?” she asked crisply. “I do, most decidedly, but I be lieve also in helping an honest hard working man like;Cassidy, who has had the strength of character to leave drink alone, to keep his kids in shoes. Come on. Weare almost quarreling. Why should you and I. fight over a filling-station owner?” “You’re right, when we have so many other things about which to disagree.” Brooke’s brown eyes met his, in tent and darkly gray; wistfulness tinged her voice as she urged: “Speaking of disagreeing — will you please behave like a sensible person and take the family treas ures which belong to you?” “Aunt Mary Amanda left them to you."“I know, but. it isn’t right for me to have them, and what’s more, I don’t need or want them. I’d rather go without rings all my life than wear one of those gorgeous things she left, which are rightfully yours. Mr. Stewart has put all the jewelry in a bank vault for you. I have Mother’s lovely china and glass and furniture which have been in stor age since our home was broken up. I’ve had everything which belonged to your family moved to the chauf feur’s apartment over the garage. There seems to be very little silver. Perhaps your aunt gave it to you? “Silver! Very little sUver! She had the Trent service which came originally from England and any number of beautiful pieces. That silver is a family tradition. Where is it? She didn’t give it to me. What does Stewart say about it?” “He thought that because of the epidemic of crime reported in the newspapers, Mrs. Dane might have become timid about keeping valu ables in the house and had it stored in a bank. But he found no receipt for it among her papers. Do you think she sold it?” " - ,' “Sold it! No. I'll bet—” he broke off abruptly. “See that great rock sticking up off sliore? I used tp miagine it the'peak of a SuTnoerged island rising from the sea.” “Perhaps it. is. ‘Islands arise, grow old and disappear.’ That isn't original. Sam has taken the title for his comedy from it.‘ The first night j spent at Lookout House I was kept awake by the wailing of tbit distant siren.' Now I don’t notice it.'? --WWii1.. “You’ll notice it if you stay here during the winter as Jed told me you were planning to do. There goes the sun fcefaifid the city!” They walked ill silence back to Lookout House. On tha threshold of the living-room she stopped to star tled unbelief. Jerry Fidd stood by the fire talking to her mother. Who was the brown-haired girl in fcltfe beside Lucette? “Couldn’t wait for you to send out At Home cards, Brooke,” Jerry Field greeted jauntily. “You re member that you said I could come to Lookout House when you were settled, don’t you? I wanted to meet your family, wanted them to know that I’m in your stag line for sure.” His eyes flashed beyond her to Mark Trent on the threshold. There was laughter in his voice and a hint of challenge. Before she could an swer, he commanded: “Come hither, Daphne, and-meet our neighbor. This is my sister.” “Neighbor!” Brooke smiled at the brown-haired girl as she welcomed her with a cordial handshake. “I would/know that you were Jerry’s sister, you look so like him; but is the neighbor stuff a joke?” “No, Miss Reyburn, we really are staying on the Point.” Daphne Field’s smile disclosed small teeth as perfect in color and size as a row of matched pearls. She turned to Sam. , “I’ve heard that you are the com ing playwright, Mr. Reyburn, that you have a touch of O’Neil’s tragic outlook, a seasoning of Kaufman’s humor, and a hint of Coward’s so phistication.”Sam grinned. “Is that original, or did you. get it from the Times?” The girl pouted: “Of course it’s original Why, Mark!” Daphne Field’s-breathless excla mation, the radiance of her face revealed so much that Brooke had the embarrassed sense of having looked for an instant at a naked heart. Trent came forward. Was the firelight playing pranks, or had his face gone dark with color? “Where did you drop from, Daph ne? How are you, Field?”Why didn’t someone say some thing and smash the strained si lence, Brooke wondered impatient ly. It was as if the firelight had cast a spell and tied all their tongues. Her mother’s eyes were on Daphne Field as she thoughtfully pulled her gloves through her hands. Sam, back to the room, was poking at the parrot. He hated emo tional scenes—off the stage. The at mosphere fairly quivered with things unsaid. Lucette came to life. “Turn on the lights, Sam, this gloom may be artistic, but it gives me the merry-pranks. This has turned out to be meet-your-neighbor day, hasn’t it? Who’s the dame in the floppy hat, Brooke, who looks like a super-animated Bo-peep, and carries a case which easily could be mistaken for a shepherd’s crook? There’s the chance of a lifetime for you to get in a little missionary work as clothes adviser; you’d bet ter begin with a streamline diet. She thinks everything here, induct tag Mother, ‘charming.’ ”(TO BE CONTINUED) Has Earliest Big Telescope The Science Museum at Kensing ton, England, has the earliest of th< really big telescopes.

The use of intoxicating liquors is financially unprofitable to the nation, scientifically unwise and de structive, socially degrading, ana morally wrong. I. The Problem.The selected Old Testament scrip tures which comprise our lesson present the use of intoxicants as causing four socially undesirable re- sults.1. Religious disobedience (Lev. 10:1,2; Isa. 28:7). Two things we may rightfully expect of those who serve the nation in.its religious life: (I) a vision of God and obedience to that vision in life and service, and (2) the exercise of sound God- guided judgment in the affairs of the people. But note what happens when the prophet and the priest turn to wine and strong drink. . ‘‘They err in vision” (Isa. 28:7). That is, they have no clear concepts of divine truth, and lead the people into error. Further, we see that “they stumble in judgment.” To every true serv ant of God comes repeatedly the opportunity and the need of render ing judgment, that is, of advising and counselling those to whom he ministers. If his mind is. befuddled by the use of alcohol (or, for that matter, of any other kind of worldly indulgence) he will ‘'stumble,'' and cause his people to sttifnble. A sad int&leiit fc related to Lev. 10:1,2 of the seas Si Aaron, appoint ed to the priesthood and instructed in its privileges and duties, but coming with strange fire to be of fered before the Lord. Swift and terrible was the judgment they re ceived. We are hot told directly that they were intoxicated, but it is implied in the fact that there is an immediate injunction against the use of wine by the priests. Lest someone think that such a thing could not happen in our day the wfiter mentions word which re cently came to him that a leading seminary has professors on its staff who defend the so-called moderate use of alcoholic drink. 2. Political disorder (Prov. 1:5). While political leaders make sancti monious protestations that govern ment agencies are not influenced by the liquor interests, it is common knowledge to even those who are slightly informed that the two are closely associated. The result of that unholy alliance is rightly de scribed in Prov. 31:5—“They for get the law, and pervert the judg ment of any of the afflicted." Much of the sad disorder in the body poli tic is traceable directly to the door of the makers and sellers of alco holic beverages. 3. National decay (Isa. 28:1*6). “Overcome with wine”—stricken down, useless in life, without true ambition, such is the picture Cf the man who gives himself to drink, poverty, with all its attendant so cial problems, follows on the heels of the sale and use of intoxicants. Some Uquor dealers are beginning to sense a rising tide of opposition to their business, and are advertis ing, “We do not want bread mon ey,” but the fact is that it & all too often bread money that goes for liquor, and the vile stuff is still on sale where the poor man may read ily spend his “bread money” for it. 4. Personal degradation (Isa. 28: 8). . “Vomit and filthiness” afe not very nice words, but they describe accurately the ultimate condition of the drinker and his surroundings. The writer knows a young man who boasts that he never gets drunk because the “booze” makes him so sick that he vomits it up. Imagine a supposedly intelligent man drink ing stuff so vile that his stomach (evidently having more sense than his head) sends it back—and then boasting of his ability to drink more! n . The Solution, a Divine Principle (Rom. 14:21). Thousands of Christian people have solved not only the drink prob lem, but practically every question of conduct ^and social life by apply ing this principle. Surely no true follower of Christ will be guilty of doing anything that will cause any brother to be offended, to stumble, or to be made weak. Here's Planned Prettiness Foimdations The foundation, of domestic hap piness is faith in the virtue of woman; the foundation of political hap piness, is confidence in the integrity of man; the foundation of happi ness, temporal and eternal, is reliance on the goodness of God.—Lan- dor.

Just copy cats, that’s what fiie film producers are. First one of .these pictures to. reach the screen is “Hollywood; Cowboy” with George O’Brien as: the star and it .is a very enter-: taining Western. Most pretentious of them all is “Stand In” which boakts Leslie Howard and Joan BlondeU in the cast. Most soothing to the ears is “Music for Madame”: in which Nino Martini lifts his voice in song, and the biggest novelty is Grand National’s “Something to Sing About” _ ■ * — Divorces don’t interfere with busi ness judgment in Hollywood. For instance, when Wi liam Wyler w a s asked what player he would like to have in the leading role of “Having a Wonderful Time” he said that only Mar garet SuUavan, his ex - wife, had the beauty and acting skiU required for the role. Up spoke Hen ry Fonda, another ex-husband of Mar garet’s, to .say that he would like to play opposite her. So, just to complete the cyde, they telephoned her present, husband, Le- Iand Hayward, who is her manager, and asked him if she would be free to make the picture before going back to New York for stage en gagements and he'said he would be happy to arrange it. “The Toast of New York” star ring Frances Farmer is a fascinat ing picture. It deals with the pic turesque period when Jim Fisk was becoming a big diet in Wall Street, when business men went around brandishing buggy whips when they weren’t conniving to get control of a railroad, or wreck each other’s fortunes. — •¥— AU over the country box-office records are being broken by “Sara toga,” the picture on which Jean Harlow was working at the time of her tragic death. Her fans would be happier, I think, to see one of her old pictures again, a gay, light hearted picture like “BombsheU” or “•Reckless,” for in “Saratoga” she is but a pallid shadow of her former self. _-K — After arguing for weeks about her salary demands,- RKO have at last signed Ruby Keeler to make two pictures a year for them. She won’t be in the next Fred Astaire pic ture, ' however, for Joan Fontaine has that leading role naUed down. Joan has been working like a beaver, taking dancing and. singing lessons preparing for this big chance. Ruby’s first wiU be “Love Below Freezing,” the picture which will bring Uttle Mitzi Green back to the screen. A few weeks ago Josephine Hutch? inson was busOy reading plays, planning to go back to the stage be cause she was so depressed over the parts Warner Brothers had . given her. But when her Warner contract expired, M-G-M signed her up and now she says she won’t go back to the stage until she is old enough to play character roles. —-K— Freddie Bartholomew’s guardian has lost one round of her battle to get M-G-M to pay him more money. The studio has taken him out of the cast of “Thoroughbreds Don’t Cry” and giv en the role to Doug las Scott who played in “Wee Willie Winkie.” As soon as Freddie Bartholo mew stqrted making big money, his par ents, who had left his care in the en tire charge of his aunt from his infancy, swooped down on the household and wanted ithe privilege of spending his mon ey. A court fight followed wherein his aunt tried to protect him, and she did win his guardianship. ; ODDS AN D ENDS—Param ouiit troupes on location m e running in Io p ien ly o / trouble: "T he BuccaneaT com pany n ear N em O rleans had their comma barge w recked in a sudden storm .

NEW YORK FAIR 1939 IN CONSTRUCTION STAGE m NEW YOBK (,Special ).—The $900,000 Administration Building of the New York Fair is under roof some 22 months in advance of the exposition’s opening date and In August will be ready for occupancy by the hundreds of specialist workers who conduct the business of the “industry” and advance development of the $125,000,000 world event. The corner stone of . this first major Fair building was laid on April 27 in the preseflte of many notable figures in national life. The Administration building, shown as progressing in actualityand by an artist’s sketch, is the Fair Cor poration’s workshop and showroom. While the 121614- acre site of the exposition is today the scene of much and varied activity, with several exhibit pavilions going up this year, the majority of the 300 buildings necessary to housing the exposition are scheduled for construction in 1938. By midsummer of next year, it is estimated, fully 15,000 persons will be employed in building activities where only a year ago there was nothing but waste land. Administrator’s Notice.
