R4 There is a beautiful passage of Scripture found in Second Corin thians, seventh chapter and six teenth verse, that I want to call your attention to. It reads thus; ‘‘I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in all things.” This is Paul’s writing to the Corinthian Christians. Perhaps there is nothing be could have said to them and ahout them that would have been more wonderful. I tell you to have confidence In a band of followers of the Lord Jesus Christ In all things is certainly good and great. That meant for more than if be had eommended them for being educated', rich, !fa mous and influential Perhaps they were mostly poar folks, however, mavbe uneducated, and certainly without fame, so far as the world is concernod, but they were so liv ing that Paul had great confidence in them. No doubt they were very humble people. This certainly character izes all true followers of Christ. I believe it was tue great evangelist D. L Moodv who once said, •‘Humilitv'contains all the groces.” In Proverbs 5:34 we read, •‘Surely ne scorneth the scoiners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.” James puts it in a little different way, saying, God reslsteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble-” (James 4:6). No doubt those Christians to whom Paul was written were a very humble set of folks. He certainly could not have writton and commended them if they had been a orond bunch of church members. Nobody, and no chnrch. wins the confidence of their fellowe by being prond and haugh ty, Evan sinners know that pride and haughtiness is not of God. therefore thev do not have confin- dence in such folks, even though they may belong to some church nnd cliam to be Christians. “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit bofoie a fall.” (Prov. 16:18), Again we believe, that Paul found the Corinthian church a vet v pray erful people. God’s faithful peo ple pray much. Jeaus said, “ Men ought always to pray, and Uot to faint,” (Luke 18.1). Much pray er keeps us dose to God and en ables us to overeotne all sin and wickedness. Then along with tbelr praperfulness and humility we would naturally think of those Corinthiens as being clean In life and pnre in heart, loving God su. premelv and In fellowship with His people, We would think of these as being liberal also, doing God’s will, winning soels and gohigheav enward. Praise God. Reunion and Bar- heque OcL 8 Some twenty members of the Iredell Blues Association met at the Legion H ut here Sunday af ternoon to lay final plans for the coming annual association re union and barbecue to be held on October 8 at 7 p. m.. at thr Hut. The barbecue menu will feature barbecued pork and chicken. Association Commander ap pointed a committee composed Messrs. J. E- Deitz, Tom Johnson and Oscar R. Mills to secure a speaker for the occasion. All ex-Blues members are asked to notify Adjutant Tom Johnson as early as possibly as to whether or not they will attend the reunion. A number of Davie county men are former members of Qom pany E. First North Carolina In fantry and are eligible for mem bership in the Iredell Blues As- socion.

The beer drinker was shocked. He turned to the bartender and said: “What a peculiar fellow!" The bartender nodded. “Yes, isn’t he? He never says good night." FLATTERY WINS A spinister was stopped cn the street by a ragged man.“Could you spare a dime for something to eat, ma’am?" “Why are you begging — a big, strong man like you? I should think you’d be ashamed.” “Mademoiselle," he said, remov ing his hat and bowing courteously. “I am a disappointed romanticist. I have woven dreams of cobweb stuff and the wind has swept them away. And so I have turned to this pro fession—the only one I know in which a gentleman can address a beautiful girl without the formality of an introduction.”Yes, he got a dollar. CHANGING TIMES During the late war a standardG.I. saying was: “If it moves, salute it; if it doesn't move, pick it up; if you can’t pick it up, paint it.”Reconversion has made this read: “If it cries, change it; if it’s on wheels, buy it; if it’s hollow. rent it.” “A Stitch In Time Harold (speaking to Dorothy): “You’re a dear sweet girl, Anna.” Dorothy: “ANNA?” Harold: “Don’t interrupt me. I said you’re a dear sweet girl—anna love you very much.” HE NEEDED EXERCISE A business man, whose office was high up in a skyscraper, waited im patiently for a. visitor with whom he had an appointment. Finally, an hour and a half overdue, the man tottered into the office, puffing and panting.“Sorry I’m so late,” gasped the latecomer, “but it’s a long climb up those 60 flights of stairs.” "Stairs!” exclaimed the business man. “Why didn't you come up in Uie elevator?”“Wal, I kinda wanted to,” returned the weary gentleman, “but I just missed the thi.no.”Aid for Students Old Grad: "Professor, I’ve made some money and I want to do some thing for my old college.

Aztecs P aid O ff Soldiers In Succulent Cocoa Beans Long before Columbus discovered the new world, cocoa was of prime importance in the economy of Middle America. Cocoa beans were the stand ard medium of exchange among the Aztecs, and the Aztec emperor who preferred chocolate to all other bever ages levied taxes for the imperial treasury in the succulent beans, thus insuring himself an adequate supply of his favorite drink. Up to 1880, cocoa beans were stjll common cur rency in isolated hamlets of Middle America. Aztec treasuries were crammet with outsize chocolate bars. Slaves in those times went for a hundred cocos beans the head, and soldiers ,were paid off in the same ‘‘coin." At.onci it became obvious that, the America;-, slang word, "bean,” meaning dollar, is of very ancient* origin indeed. Co coa,bean money had a profound ethic al difference from other moneys: it could not be hoarded, for it spoiled after a few months. It could only be spent or eaten or guzzled in the form of chocolate. Facts for Oyster Lovers Oysters are canned commercially in the United States on the Atlantic, Gulf and JPacific coasts. Pacific oys ters are much larger, are somewhat more tender, and easier to break or tear than Eastern oysters. The meth ods used for canning Eastern oysters and Pacific oysters are essentially the same. Oysters In the shell are steam ed until the shell opens. The partially- cooked oysters are removed from the shells, washed to remove extraneous m atter, such as sand, pieces of shell, and packed into containers. W ater is added to fill the container, leaving only a small head space. Such water is known as "packing medium.” Salt may be added for seasoning. The con tainers are sealed and processed by heat to prevent spoiling. Rebuilding Kingston-on-Hull During the war, when German air men were spreading destruction over England, there were vague references in news bulletins to the bombing of a “North E ast town.” Few people were then aware that this “North East town" was the city of Kingston-upon- Hull, the third port of the country, which, it is claimed, suffered more m aterial damage than any other cen ter outside of London. Commonly known as Hull, from the river on which it stands, the city is aif im portant link in the1 vast system of communications upon which the pros perity of an extensive industrial re gion depends. The task of rebuilding Hull is one of considerable magni tude, and many of its present citizens realize they will not live long enough to see its realization. Lowly Onion a Hardy Plant - There are many kinds and types oi onions. There is, for instance, the Egyptian or tree onion, which is hardy in winter time. They are the ones that bear little bulbs on their seed stalks instead of seeds. Egyp tian or tree onions are very delicious for two or three weeks in the spring until the seed stalk starts forming when they get tough. Another onion used a great deal for scallions is the multiplier onion. The multiplier on ion divides the bulb and forms any where from three to 20 other onions. Another type of scallion onions are those which are grown from sets. Sets are also a method of growing m ature onions for winter use. As Maine Goes The significance of the outcome of ihe election In Maine .is not that the Republicans won a sweeping victory, of course, hnt that their majority was more than to.ooo greater than the previous high re cord set In the 1928 contest for Gov ernor and that the Democrats poll ed only 26 to -30 per cent of the total vote. Mrs. Matgaret Chase Smith, the first woman ever elected to the United States Senate without hav. ing first served by appointedment, received not only a record-break ing majority but also an unpre cedented percentage of the total vote. She received 74 per cent of the vote; her Democratic opponent 26 per cent. ^ Tt has not always been true that “as Maine goes so goes the Na tion,” for the state usually goee Republican; whereas the country often often has gone Democratic So there would have beon nothing in election results to discourage the Democratic national party lead ers if the Republicans had carried the steta by oaly the usual majori ties and percentages. But the 1948 voting In the elec tion for Governor and United States Senator turned out Io have been so lopsided In favor ot the Republi cans that thev have a right to the jubilation many of their leaders have expressed. Some neutral and competent po litical observers had figuaed in ad vance that, should the Democratic poll no more than 30 per cent of the votes in Maine, it would be a bad omen of the presidential elec tion in November, but that they should be greatly encouraged if they should get 35 per cent or more of the total. Mr. Truman must have found it verv difficult to find anything in the Maine election returns from which to draw any encouragement or to strengthen his hope for ele. —Charlotte Observer. Beaten to the Gun Statesville Daily If Candidate Truman’s reception in the midwest has not been mark, ed by howling enthusiasm it is probably due to three factors: 1st, wheat farmers are doing tbeir own thinking and are not easily swayed by demagogic statements; second, thev are fnndamentallv and nor. mally Republicans; .and third, Gov ernor Dewey’s declaration on price support policy took tbe wind out of Mr. Truman’s sails before he got his ship launched. Mr. Truman’s theme in Iowa was that the price support program which, incidentally, is not univer sally popular, is a Democratic babv and th t the awful 80th Congress has tried to destroy it. But fact is that this Congress the President so consistently lambasts as being tbe worst in history did right band, somely by tbe farmer. The pres, ei’t structure of piice support was exteuded until 1950 and after that in years of exceptionally bountiful crops, support prices can be grad uated between 60 and 90 per cent of paritv. It is another fact that the support program was started under President Hoover and exten ded under the New Deal. Both parties are firmly committed to it, and while it has its bad features, there is enough good in it to as sure its continuation regardless of which party comes into power. What must have vexed Mr Tru man no end is that just a few hours before he delivered his Dex ter speech. Dewey released a state ment on bis position as to price suppoit.

There ate persons in Mocks ville who are losing money every day, according to the Winston- Salem office of the Social Securi ty Administration, because thev have not made application for Old-Age and Survivors Insurance pavments. Manv Mocksville residents eli gible to receive Old-Age and Sur vivors Insurance' benefits who who have already made an appli cation for these paymeuts, failed to receive all that they should have because they did not apply at the earliest possible time. The way the Social Security law works, eligible persons must apply for these payments or no payments are made. Social Security payments are made to werking people 65 who have retired from covered employ- employment and 1 0 widows, children, parents and other rela tives of working people who have died. Sometimes the payments are monthly, and sometimes a lump-sum payment is made. But in every case, the payment must be applied for before they can be received. “We are here to serve the peo ple and to see that they are paid, “Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy, manager of the Winston-Salem, North Caro lina office said in an interview to day. “but we can’t go to the peo ple—thev must come to us.” Com menting further, Mrs. Duffy said: “Everv workingman over 65 who has quit working should imme diately get in thouch with our office. And the family of every workingman who has died should write or come in to the office at office.” The Winston-Salem office is lo cated in Room 437 Nissen Build ing, and is open from 9:00 a. m., to 5:00 p. m., Monday through Friday. ____________ Bust Is Coming It is my pet theory that the post war boom has about run its course, and that one fine day all of us will suddenly find that the top has blown off, and we will be sitting in the center of a recession. W he ther it will be a mild one or a harsh one is of course an undeter mined factor. Post-war booms have alwavs fa ded, because thev have beencaus ed by a shortage of goods which were not made during the war. Hence, once the goods finally fil ter back into the market, and buy ers have bougnt everything they have been short of for so- long, naturally they stop buying. On a whole, there .are now only two commodities on the short side of the list which are still much in demand—homes and au tomobiles. These two are becom ing much more plentiful, but au tomobiles continue to rise in price and homes continue to stay high priced.—Yadkin Ripple. THE DAVTE RECORp. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. X k e - FICTION C o t f t e t r TV/IARIO went through the cool, -* cloistered half light of the liv ing room in Edna’s Amarillo Can yon bungalow and sat down before her baby grand piano in the work room where the shade of the trees outside lay in thick, green dusk. He swept aside a heap of Edna’s pen ciled manuscript, smiling a little superciliously, for her composing efforts invariably amused him, and let his thin, nervous fingers roam the keys. Usually melody soothed away any inner disturbance. But this after noon, his talk with Hammond at the studio lingered unpleasantly. He found himself playing the elusive, fragmentary tune that had been in his mind for some days. He had thought it might be pointed up, NO SO N G IS L O S T By C. S. MONTAYNE eyes were mysteriously enigmatic, her full lips parted. At that mo ment Mario decided again-that she was lovely—lovely enough to excite romance, to thrill and inspire him. He wondered, abstractly, while he lighted a cigarette, why he wasn’t in love with her. Perhaps it was that strange superiority he felt —the constant knowledge that he had come to Hollywood from the concert stage, that the music he wrote was good, so much better than the banal, tinkling tunes Edna laboriously ground out. It was true she had earned a great deal of money and fame of a sort from the full length cartoon comedy she had set to music. But he reminded him self, men like Hammond weren’t contracting for her to write arias i But he reminded himself, men like Hammond weren’t contracting for her to write anas and spot hit numbers for the type of picture, and the operatic star, on which he had been at work. hammered into a production num ber that could be played straight or used to satisfy the jittery inhibi tions of the swing-minded. Ham mond had set a deadline for the thing he wanted. He had been very decided when he told Mario the song, words and music, must be in by the next afternoon. Mario was embroidering the theme, trying to give it substance and body, when he heard Edna’s car outside. Her Great Dane barked joyfully, the iron gate banged shut, her heels clicked rhythmically on the polished floor. “I thought I heard you playing. Been here long?” Her slim hand slipped into his. “I looked for you at the studio. Hammond said you left at one." Her hair seemed to glimmer in the light and shadow; her long, oval and spot hit numbers for the type of picture, and the operatic star, on which he had been at work. They dined on the terrace. The moon swung up across the canyon and the stars came out, one by one. Mario, lounging in the candlelight, told her his troubles. “Tomorrow afternoon .. . am I an automaton to have a crank turned . .. and music come out? That song I was playing—” He gestured with his thin, artistic hands. “It is what Hammond wants, I know that, but—” “It fades into nothing,” Edna in terpolated softly. He nodded, deep in thought, hardly conscious she had gotten up and gone into the bungalow. He lifted his brooding gaze when he heard the ripple of the piano. He jerked his head sharply left, his T R IC K S FO R TEEN S By N A N C Y PEPPER WISE GUISE You guessed it, this is about those characters with crew cuts at one end and argyle socks (the ones you knit for them) on the other—boys, that is. Everybody knows that their latest fashion favorite is the collar,, less cardigan sports jacket, a la Sinatra, but only our hi style scouts could round up their latest fads— and only you would be interested in them. Boys and Curls — Frankie Laine isn’t the only one who can sing, “Just Because My Hair Is Curly,” now that a new wave has swept over the high school boys — a Perm a nent Wave, we mean. Seems out in the Middle West, they’re letting the front of their hair grow long and then curling it with those home permanent sets. Well, a forelock comes in handy when you have to honor your partner in square dancing. News in Neckwear—The latest fad with his T shirts is a cotton bandan na kerchief, worn around the neck and slipped through a ring in front— preferably a friendship ring with a sentimental inscription. Looks as if he’s been influenced by your silk scarfs. .. Close Shave—Although we don’t like to believe it, one of our Okla homa scouts declares that the latest fad among the local Big Wheels is to shave their heads completely. Serves us right for complaining about their Crew Cuts. How hideous can they get, is what we’d like to know? Maybe we’d better not try to find out; there are times when “It Pays to Be Ignorant.” Hose for Joes—Miniature argyle socks are the latest good-luck trophies to hang in their jalopies. Of course, they’re made by their favorite Needle Nudgers. And, boys who have big collections of hand- knit argyles, are now wearing dif ferent patterns and colors together, instead of matching pairs. Such a dazzling display! * * * Added Attraction—As if Spike Jones recordings didn’t shatter the air waves enough, some disc jockeys have discovered that they can add their own sound effects to records with hilarious—and noisy—results. Wait ’til you hear what they do with the “Bells of San Juanita!” In comparison, “My Old Flame” is a lullaby! * * * Minor Detail. From now on when we chance to meet, I’ll turn my head and cross the street. The things he said, I can’t forget, I’ll cut him dead—with no regret. I can’t forgive our bitter brawl, His insults are beyond recall— The only point on which there's a doubt Is what our quarrel was about. eyes on the open doors, listening. She was playing the same tune he had toyed with when she had come in. But this time the melody had a meaning, a significance. It built itself in a melodic tone picture that gripped him and held him fasci nated. The middle part that had hung suspended, escaping him com pletely, was now a bridge that car ried the burden of the theme surely across to its exquisite climax. “Something like that?” Edna came back through the cloying gloom. Mario stood, his young face earnest and intent, his hands trembling. “Yes, something like that.” “Go in and write it down before you forget it.” She spoke casually. “Pencil and score sheets on top of the piano. Help yourself.” “But—” She pushed him away, gently, de cidedly. “Hurry, before it goes.” Brennan, who was doing the lyrics, put words to the melody the next morning in Mario’s hotel room. At noon Hammond heard'the song, approved, and took Mario out to lunch. “Funny how a little urging can get you artistic guys underway,” he grunted. “Frankly, I don’t like highbrow musicians. I’d rather work with the Tin Pan Alley vari ety—people like Edna Sheridan, Tommy Dorlon. But that’s a good tune. Sounds like a natural.” It was after five when Mario’s taxi took him to Amarillo Canyon. The Great Dane barked ominously when he opened the iron gate, but the dog was chained and Mario went on to the letter-box and key Edna I left for him. There was a riote say- ' ing she’d be back in an hour, on the living room table, an open manu script on the piano rack. Mario saw its title, “No Song Is Lost,” when he switched on the shaded light and sat down to play.* * * CHE had raided a Los Angeles deli- 1^catessen. When she put her car in the garage, she called for him to help her with the packages. Mario carried them in to the glistening porcelain table in the model kitchen. He looked deep into the enigmatic eyes Edna lifted. He tried to answer her smile, but his lips were stiffly serious. She frowned, watching his expression change dramatically. “What did Pete Hammond think of the'num ber? Why do you look at me like that, Mario? What’s the m atter? Something gone wrong?” “Very wrong!” He was trembling oddly, the • blood was pounding through him, his mind was con fused. Only one’ thing had any clarity, any vision. “Why, Edna?” he heard himself asking in a strange voice. “Why—what?” His hands closed about her shoul ders. He was drawing her to him, hardly aware of what he did. “That song,” Mario said all at once. “No wonder it was elusive, haunting! I m ust have heard it here the first night I came! It must have hidden in some far corner of my memory! It was your song—the theme piece you.did for that cartoon nonsense— so good you took it out, shelved itl Why, Edna—?” He broke off. -She was close to him now and quite naturally, simply, her arm s linked themselves about his. neck. And she was smil ing, not enigmatically, but happily. “What is the theme of all music of all life?” she asked, unsteadily. Mario laughed. “Love, of course! ” he told her, before he put his own arm s around her and leaned to kiss the warm red of her curved, glow ing mouth.

MOCKSVILLE. N. C. -------------WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS--------------: Indian Troops Invade Hyderabad, Endanger Country’s Shaky Peace; Russia Confuses Crisis in Berlin -By BBl Schoeatgea, WNU Staff Writer- (EDITOR'S NOTE: Wben opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those ot Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) INVASION: Hyderabad Events in India were a far cry from the days when Mohandas Gandhi’s philosophy of passive diplomacy prevailed among the af fairs of that sub-continent. Indian troops, strongly supported by armored units, had invaded the princely state of Hyderabad (see map) whose Moslem ruler—called the. Nizam—had refused to join with the other Indian dominions even though Hyderabad’s population is predominantly Hindu. THAT WAS THE whole 6tory. The Nizam and his small, compact Mos lem court would not agree to follow the other Indian princely states in acceding to the Dominion of India which was established last year. ' The Nizam, often called the rich est man in the world, and the only surviving heir of the great Mogul empire, wanted to rule an independ ent hyderabad. Whether he could have succeeded in doing that, even if the dominion government had not opened hostili ties against him, is questionable. Hyderabad is completely landlocked and has no access to the sea except by courtesy of the states surround ing it. AU of its imports and exports, therefore, must pass through India. WHILE HYDERABAD might pro fess its independence as a state, chances are that the economic and political conditions of actual inde pendence never could be achieved. Can India's invasion of Hyderabad be justified? Not too easily, if at all. It was not a m atter of sending a police force into the state to queU internal disorders. It was, apparent ly, a deliberate act of aggression and as such should go before the U. N. security council for judgment. From a practical standpoint there was not only no need for the inva sion but there is an actual danger O MEW SE U II IN D IA involved. There are no linguistic or racial differences between Hyder abad’s Hindus and the Hindus of ad jacent states. The boundaries of Hyderabad are arbitrary and his torical, not dependent upon the ge ography of the vicinity. INDIA MIGHT well have refrained from pushing the issue for a year or two, pending a peaceful settlement. The potential danger lies in two phases of the situation: 1. THE HYDERABAD war might prove to be the factor that will pre cipitate violent conflict between Hhidu and Moslem Pakistan, whose more or less peaceful relations now are strained and uneasy. 2. IT IS A BLOW to the British CommonwealthT to which both India and Pakistan still belong. With the Russians acting the way they are, any disturbance of the delicate bal ance of power that still prevails in the East could bring still another catastrophe down upon the world. RUSSIANS: Fantastic Not even the most starry-eyed Pollyana could deny that the U. S.- Soviet fracas over Berlin was down right fantastic and getting more so every day. The whole thing simply had stopped making sense, even to many of the diplomats who were embroiled in the situation. WHAT CHANCE was there for any logical kind of peace when, even while western diplomats were in Moscow attempting to work out a formula with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, the Russians in Berlin w.ere inciting riots, kidnapping western sector policemen and firing on American planes engaged in the air lift?One complication was being piled on top of another, ^vith the ensuing result that any possibility of a peace- T h e L a s t M o g u l Sir Mir Osman Ali Khan, some times called the richest man in the world, is the Nizam of Hydera bad, land-locked princely shite in India. which was attacked by India’s dominibn troops. ful solution was getting buried deep er and deeper. That all this confusion was being fostered deliberately by the Soviets was quite evident.- Their purpose for so doing was more obscure. THE RUSSIANS want full control of Berlin, taking that as their im mediate objective. Ultimately they want to force American occupation troops completely out of Germany, after which Russia could take over the great German industrial poten tial, including the inestimably valu able Ruhr section. However, there might be still an other reason for this display of So viet diplomatic aggression which was planned almost a year ago to erupt this fall. The Russians might be trying to harass the western nations to the point where the entire Berlin issue will be dumped in the lap of the United Nations. Once the crisis comes under U. N. jurisdiction the Russians might plan to use the in evitable squabble as a pretext for resigning from the world organiza tion and taking their satellite states with them. THE EAST-WEST split into two opposing power spheres then would be complete. Moreover, the U. N. itself probably would be reduced to total impotency in guiding interna tional affairs. And the question of whether the Soviet Union is entertaining motives like these might be answered by the end of the year. For the western nations were determined that if they didn’t get some satisfaction from Moscow soon they would arraign Russia before the United Nations this fall. COTTON: Lift Dot Bale With the largest cotton crop since 1937 being harvested this year, Uncle Sam is making ready to stage a comeback in the cotton buying busi ness. Of the 15,219,000 bales to come off the land, the cotton trade estimates that about a third will go into stor age under federal loan. TWENTY-ONE MILLION people in the United States depend on cot ton for their livelihood, and the fate of the cotton crop, therefore, is not only a personal but a national con cern. The federal government is com ing into the picture because cotton prices are coming down. They have reached 31.04 cents a pound, which is pretty close to the support floor of 30.74 cents. Here’s what happens: WHEN THE COTTON grower hauls his crop to the warehouse he gets a receipt for it, and then he either sells the cotton at the market price or accepts the government’s standing offer to lend him money on it. If he chooses to accept the loan, he is paid 30.74 cents a pound on the average—the exact price depending on the kind and quality of the cotton. Then he is free, for one year, to sell the cotton for more money, pro vided the price goes up. If he doesn’t sell it within a year the government becomes owner of the crop. PROBABLE E FFE C i of this oper ation will be to keep a lot of cotton off the market this year, thus pre venting the price from dropping through the support floor. Also, it will result in the government’s end ing the year -with several million ,bales of cotton on its hands. THICKER THAN FLIES Russia Is Well Supplied With Manpower Russia and the Soviet satellites are appallingly well supplied with manpower for military purposes, ac cording to official estimates in Wash-' ingtoh. In Soviet Russia alone there ex ists a tremendous reservoir of able- bodied men for land armies. Best estimates indicate the existence of 1715 divisions of - .Russian ground force and security troops, embody ing a total of three million men and including about 400,000 MVD secur ity troops. Eight Soviet ’ satellite states are reputed to be able to muster a total of about 100 divisions of 1,121,600 men. That makes a grand total of 4,121,600 soldiers in 274 divisions, many of whom are deployed* at or near the point at which war con ceivably could start. BIG FOUR: Or Little 14? The U- S. government’s spectacu lar suit against the “big four’’ meat packing companies—Swift, Armour, Cudahy and Wilson—promised to be one of the biggest anti-trust actions eince President Theodore Roosevelt said something about carrying a big stick. Filed by the justice department in federal court in Chicago, the suit asks that the four companies be broken up into 14 separate firms. Specifically, the U. S. wants Swift and Armour to be carved into five separate companies each and Wilson and Cudahy each to be split into two firms. TOM CLARK, attorney general, said in a statement: “The four de fendants named in the complaint are charged with suppressing competi tion in the sale of m eat and meat products.” The Sherman anti-trust law is being invoked in the action. Clark described the suit as “an other in a series of cases instituted by the department of justice in fur therance of its program to free the production and sale of food and food products from monopolistic re straints.” THE PACKERS had another story to tell, however, with “playing poli tics,” as one of their key phrases. Said John Holmes, president of Swift and company: “It is significant that the charges appear at the be ginning of this fall’s political cam paign. Apparently an attempt is be ing made to shift responsibility for inflationary price trends. ‘No one can control either live stock prices or meat prices," Holmes fumed. INFRA-RED: Frost Killer The day—or night—of the old-fash ioned smudge pot as the main buf fer between plants and killing frost may be nearing an end. Science has taken over to come up with a new kind of frost killer, development of which was sponsored by the American Iron and Steel in stitute. THE CONTRAPTION, known as the Plymouth infra-red lamp, is in a fair way to affect materially the nation’s agricultural system, the in stitute thinks. Reporting on the new device, the institute pointed out that while farm ers will find the lamp invaluable in saving crops during the first touches of frost, the growing season actual ly may be extended as techniques for its use are developed. Dr. Arthur W. Farrell of Mich igan State college, one of the men responsible for development of the infra-red machine, cited an exam ple: “On September 2, 1946, to take one example, Michigan had a two- hour killing frost. The next frost did not occur until October I, a month later. Had tomato and melon growers been able to protect their crops for about two hours on the morning of September 2, they would have had four more weeks of very favorable growing weather. As it was, they lost everything. “THE FROST dispeller, made up of sheet steel and a little ingenuity, will put an end to some of nature’s nonsense.” The lamp is composed of a cir cular piece of stainless steel, shaped in cone-shaped steps, with an oil burner within the framework. When the burner is put into action, the steel heats until it becomes cherry- red. At this point, infra-red rays are thrown off, spreading over the area to be warmed, even entering the ground in their intensity. H ead lin ers IN PASADENA . . .

WASHINGTON.—“I w ish,” he said, “I wish I could burn this into your m inds and m em ories for the next 50 years at least— that the hum an race this hour, this day, this week, this year is confronted w ith the gravest crisis in all its experience, and th at we who are here on the scene of action, a t this critical tim e, have the responsibility of saying w hat w ay the world is going for 50 years to com e.” Those words I recorded in 1945 as the war in Europe was drawing to its close. They were spoken by a man now retired from public life who is living to see their significance growing each day—Cordell Hull who on October 2 reached his 77th year. ‘ BAUKHAGE He spoke that sentence at an off-^ the record press conference in his office m the old State, War and f , Navy building and I - the fire of convic tion in his voice created such an impression that we asked him to let us quote him di rectly that one sen tence. For that reason I have been able to reproduce it literally. Since that day in 1945 we have seen P re sid e n t Roosevelt die and Secretary Hull retire; peace come in Europe; the United Nations found ed and then, all unexpectedly, the new and terrible force released which brought the sudden cessation of hostilities in the Far East. We saw, too, (few of us realized it) a tiny cloud no bigger than a man’s hand, take shape on the hori zon of world relations. Cordell Hull realized the ne cessity of maintaining friendly relations between the United States and Russia. Against the advice of his physicians and the wishes of the wife to whom he was devoted, he flew to Moscow to talk to the one man upon whom the future of world peace then seemed to depend. I had the great privilege of talk ing with Secretary Hull on the eve of his departure for Moscow. When I was shown into his office he was sitting at the great desk in the room from whose windows have looked so many of the great states men who have been America’s spokesman to the world. The office of the secretary of state has been removed from the ancient rococo building next to the White House which, with its high ceilings, its gloomy marble cor ridors, wide stairways and its fire places, which was filled with a cer tain odor of sanctity, slightly tinged with a touch of obsolenscence which spoke of days and eras that were gone forever. Today, the offices of the men who direct our foreign affairs are housed in an ultra-modern building, air-t cooled, brisk, almost modernistic in its design. But I can imagine that History, as she solemnly records each day’s agenda of 1948, must smile a bit ironically when she notes the similarity of today’s rec ord and that which was the chief concern of Cordell Hull. When he rose to greet me on the occasion of my earlier in terview with the courtesy which was a natural characteristic and one not acquired by acquaint anceship with the masters of diplomatic protocol,his desk was covered with papers. He indicat ed them with a gesture and ex plained that they all dealt with his forthcoming mission to Mos cow. We talked for a long time and the viewpoint he expressed then con cerning .our policy toward Russia remained unchanged on his return. Russians Background Forms Her A ttitude I saw him again with a small group after his return and he re minded us that Russia’s attitude must be considered against her background, that she was a nation which had been virtually locked up for 25 years and during all that time had heard nothing but epithets against her, that she had cultivated the habit of slapping back twice as hard whenever she heard anything she thought was criticism against her. Thus, a defense psychology was built up, a suspicious attitude toward the whole world, which made the Soviet psychology entirely differ ent from ours. Each had much to learn from* the other, both must im prove, and that, Hull said, would take time. He felt very much the same way when he concluded his memoirs this year and offered this advice. “In dealing with the Soviet Union 'we m ast never waver in , this determination or give any evidence of weakness, or cease to insist that, although she is en titled to freedom from inter vention in her domestic affairs by any other nation, her govern ment has no right to force com munism on other nations or to intervene in tbeir domestic af fairs in any other way.” As Cordell Hull looked back on his long period of public service the last years of which covered the most trying times up to then that our nation has faced, he came to the conclusion which more and more of our great leaders are reach ing today and he said: i “We have a desperate need for more religion and morality as the background for government. The religious and moral foundations for thought and conduct re q u ire strengthening here as well as throughout the world. There is no higher civilizing influence than re ligious and moral concepts. Corrup tion and tyranny can be driven out of government only when these con cepts give men the faculty to rec ognize such evils and the strength to eliminate them.” If the political pendulum swings at the next election as is likely, and the logical appointee for the office of secretary of state is named, it will be John Foster Dulles. It will be a satisfaction to many to know that he shares the views of Mr. Hull in so far as they both recognize the importance of the influence of re ligion in the carrying out of our re lations, domestic as well as inter national. For those who, as Cordell Hull said, "are here on the scene of action at this critical time," this fact is vital, since we have the responsibility of saying "what way the world is going for 50 years to come."* * * Charles E. Hughes— Two-Career Man To mention the office of secre tary of state naturally brings forth memories of another great states man who held that office and whose death occurred recently — Charles Evans Hughes. Chief Justice Hughes had a re markable career. In fact, he had two careers, each lasting 43 years. The first as a brilliant and success ful lawyer in private practice and the second as a public servant hold ing among others two of the highest positions in public life in America, secretary of state and chief justice. I happened to be present on two occasions within a few hours of each other which might be the high and the low point of any man’s ca reer. With a group of reporters cov ering his headquarters in New York on election day I bid him good-night, fully believing as he and ail of us did, that he was the president-elect. I saw him the next morning when he came to the door of his hotel room with a grandchild in his arms to take in the morning paper which re corded the late returns from the West and gave the majority of the electoral votes to Wood- ■ row Wilson. That same night Woodrow Wilson had gone to bed accepting defeat. The only paper supporting him which failed to haul down the flag (signal of Republican victory) was the old New York Evening Post whose special correspondent, David Lawrence, had predicted Wilson’s re-election and stuck to it when he was almost alone in his belief. How much of a disappointment Hughes suffered it’s hard to say. No man was ever more reluctant about accepting the candidacy and. the fact that he received such a proportionately large popular vote must have been gratification enough. He looked forward with anticipa tion and pleasure to his return to private life but his keen interest in the law caused him to accept the judgeship on the world court. He made a brilliant secretary of state under Harding and continued under President Coolidge. His se lection as chief justice of the su preme court by President Hoover was perhaps a most fortunate thing in the light of the crisis brought about by the famous “court packing” fight under Roosevelt. His success as Chief Justice was due not only to his remark able knowledge of the law but his tremendous capacity for work and his ability to reconcile different points of view among the members without attempt ing to enforce his own legal viewpoint upon the individual. Hughes was a brilliant speaker. He spoke naturally and easily, yet with an excellent choice of words. Although he was extremely digni fied in appearance and manner he was able to convey a warmth of feeling which immediately aroused sympathy and interest in an audi ence.

Occasionally, however, a farm er will pose the question: “How much injury is caused by worm infestation?” The answer to that question is provided in tests conducted by the bureau of animal industry to Je- •a : ‘' W Growth of this pig will be de termined largely by number of worms present. termine how much the growth of pigs is retarded by roundworms (ascarids). In' carrying out the experiment, the bureau used eight litter-mate pigs eight weeks old, feeding four of them infective roundworm eggs. The other four, which served as controls, received no worm eggs. After four months all eight pigs were weighed, killed and examined for roundworms. None were found in the control pigs, but the other four harbored 109, 39, 20 and 12, respectively. Growth of the four pigs that had roundworms at autopsy was less rapid than the four controls. The pig with 109 worms weighed 8.7 pounds less than at the time it was fed the worm eggs; its control litter-mate gained 96 pounds. The pig with 39 roundworms gained only 48 per cent as much as its control; the one with 20 roundworms, only 55 per cent as much as its control. The growth of the pig with only 12 roundworms was not retarded very much; it weighed nearly as much as its con trol mate. R e se a rc h to In te n s ify W in te r in M e a t T e s ts Freezing Is one of the oldest ways of preserving m eat. It is also one of the newest, the U. S. department of agriculture points out. In old-time freezing there was not much that could be done about the process. It was a winter meth od depending on continued cold. A mid-winter or early-spring thaw might spoil a m eat supply intended to last for additional weeks or months. This was true whether the m eat was wild game brought in by hunters^or was from domestic animals. Modern freezing is still so new that there is a good deal to be learned about it. This is the purpose of an expan sion of studies of m eat freezing and curing made possible under the re search and marketing act. A first step will be to survey freezing and curing methods now in use. Samples of meats typical of these methods of preservation will be assembled and compared for quality and nutri tive value. Next, the experimenters will try first to duplicate, then im prove the methods which the sur vey and comparison work indicate are most effective. The bureau of animal industry will have equipment that can im prove on even the most severe winter weather. It will be able to freeze m eat at 100 degrees below zero if that proves desirable. Q u a lity C re am B o o sts R e ta m s to D a iry m e n Production of high quality cream will pay dividends to the dairymen. A few suggestions for assuring top production: Protect separator from rust; rinse with chlorine solu tion before using; wash with powder immediately after each separation; cool cream immediately; separate milk immediately after straining; cool cream rapidly and thoroughly before mixing with older cream ; keep containers covered from the time the milk is strained into cans until it reaches the receiving vat; strain milk in milk room or milk house, not in the barn; cover cans tightly and place in cooler with cold circulating water.

KEWHETH J. FOREHAH SCRIPTURE: Genesis 11:27—25:11. DEVOTIONAL READING: Hebrews 11: 1-10, Dr. Foreman G o d 's V ie w o f P e o p le Lesson for October 10, 1948 “ V O U can learn more about hu- A man nature from reading the Bible than from living in New York,’’, said a Yale professor who had tried it both ways. He was right; for in New York you are likely to see your neighbors only on the outside, while in the Bible you are introduced to people on the in side. One great value of the Bible is its plain stories about people, fell sorts of people—simple, great, wise, foolish, saints and sin ners. They lived thousands of miles from here, and thousands of years ago. They dressed differently and many of them spoke in languages now dead. Yet somehow they live in these inspired stories. * * • Saints /"\N E of the great biographies of ^ the Bible is that of Abraham. If you will read it in Genesis you will see it is not like one of our mod ern biographies; it does not follow a continuous line, but consists of short incidents strung together sometimes without connection. It is more like an album of pictures than like a movie. Set putting all the pictures together we get an impression of a re markable man. Indeed, Abraham was one of the most remarkable men who ever lived. Without a church, without a Bible, without prophet or priest or tradition, born in a nation and a family that “worshiped other gods,” as Joshua said later, somehow Abra ham came to know that there is but one God, and not only to know that as a fact but to know that God as a friend. (In fact, Abraham’s name among the Arabs to this day is “The Friend.” ) We must call Abraham one of the great religious geniuses of all human history. Yet he does not stand alone. The Bible is a book of saints; the letter to the Hebrews, calls the roll of some, and ends by saying time is too short to name them all. Now a saint is not a person who lives totally without sin. A saint is one in whose life good ness is stronger than evil; a saint is one who actually lives as a friend of God, for whom God is the central fact in all his life.* • * Sinners '"THESE are no whitewashed plas- ter saints, the great and small figures of the Bible stories. They come before us just as they were. Abraham, for example, at times was a coward, a liar, a bigamist, a slave-holder. We must not suppose that ev erything any character in the Bible did was right, or is right today. The writers simply tell the stories, seldom using ad jectives like “bad” or “good” or “noble” or “mean.” We are left to make our own judgments. We are shown what effects sin has on men, we see how evil spreads by suggestion and imitation, we see how temptation works. God inspired the biographers; but he does not inspire men to tell lies or to cover up evil by calling it good. So do not be shocked to find that even a saint like Abraham had feet of clay. The important things about him are the good, not the bad. • * • The Light That Shines FURTHERMORE, when you read " these Bible biographies, you can trace a very interesting story through them all: namely the story of the human understanding of Right and Wrong. But in Old Testament times, as in the case of Abraham, we must remember they were in the dawn-years before the sunlight of Christ had risen. Some of the things Abraham did would get him into jail nowadays; but some of those very acts were then the m ark of a gentleman. Sometime when you are discour aged and think the world is growing worse, all you need to do is to think back to some of these old Bible stories. What the very best people did then, is now by Christians seen to be not always good. The human race has progressed, and nowhere more than in its knowl edge of what is right to do. And even so, a man like Abraham, as good and great as he was, shines with an even brighter light across the centuries, challenging-us to rise above our times as he often rose above his own.

ANSWER: I believe the lower inside part of the drum has prob ably corroded. If you do not wish to buy a new one, you might con sider having the lower part cut out and a new piece welded on. After opening up the drum it can be cleaned out thouroughly before welding on the new piece. QUESTION: I have a pair of wrought iron candlesticks. I have just removed a coat of shiny black enamel from them . Now what is the correct, dull black paint or finish to use on them? ANSWER: First wipe with ben zine to remove all traces of what ever kind of remover you used to take off the old finish. Be careful of fire when using benzine. Finish the pieces with a flat black paint intended for m etal surfaces; the better stocked paint stores sell this paint. Campus Briglitener.

OCTOBER 6. >948 Schools Face Crisis The nation’s public schools are lacing their worst financial crisis since the depression. The dilemma confronting local school boards in volves mainly the crippling of con struction programs by inflation and cost-of-living pay raises for teach ers. Record enrollments in most schools are making construction a m atter of special urgency. Further, a five-million increase in the na tion's elementary school population is expected during the ^ext decade as a result of the 40 per cent rise in the U. S. birthrate since the war ended. Rockets Aitf Telephones Use of rockets in laying light weight field telephone wire over in accessible terrain by means of an improved type wire dispenser has been proven practical by tests of the army signal corps at Fort Dix, N. J. Tests showed that in emergencies the rockets may be fired without use of the rocket launcher The rocket in its original cardboard packing case is fired from a wedge-shaped hole dug in the ground, laying out the wire satisfactorily to distances up to 50 yards. A distinct advantage of the rocket method of laying wire lies in the simplicity and pnrtability of the equipment required. One man equipped with a wire dispenser, a small field telephone and a rocket can establish ivire <-m imunication for relatively sl-o-1 -hsl;inres over rivers, lakrs. iin u n s.

Ariamas BEAD the JtfS A Debt to Profit America has become rich and power ful, with high wages and the best liv ing conditions in the world, because of good profits. When I say America, I mean all of America. All the people in this great country owe much to this system that allows profits to be made and used. When we appreciate that fact, it is possible to see the dangers that exist when we do things that limit profits or keep them down. For example, today inflation has re duced the buying power of profits by about 40 per cent from what they were a few years ago. On top of this, profit has been reduced in many industries. Many businesses made smaller profits in 1947 than in 1946. Quite a few are not making enough profit to replace worn-out tools and machinery. Others are borrowing heavily. Those that bor row do so because they find they have to borrow. Question of Risk An industrial enterprise can only borrow, however, on the basis of an ticipated profits: “profits to come.” If these expected profits do not come, then the future of that business is jeopardized. Nobody wants to lend it any more money then. It's a poor risk. So what happens? The machinery wears, out. Wages hit rock-bottom. Workers drop out, to? executives take jobs in better companies. Presently, the business is bankrupt. Every company that has to go broke for lack of profits puts a light upon the record that belongs to America. Yet, right here in America we arc today actually jeopardizing future jobs and future prosperity in the nation by bringing profits down too low. For example, the railroads cannot possibly replace their old equipment by depending upon their profits. New equipment like streamlined trains, lat est model locomotives, lots of heavy equipment and modernization — all these things call for money. Profits aren’t enough. Therefore, railroads must borrow. But suppose they do not make enough profits to repay the loans ? These things keep the railroads in constant danger. New Capital Needed The need for investment and for new capital is so great that ma$y indus tries right now are investing more than their total profits. Of course, they are expecting present conditions to be temporary. They make huge invest ments, without regard for present profits, only because they expect con ditions to improve and better profits to come in later. Actually, this simply means that profits in 1947 (which look tremendous in figures) were much too small. , President Truman, in his report on the state of the nation, said that $50,000,000,000 should be invested in business expansion over the next few years. This would be fine. However, the fact remains that money for in vestment comes only as a result of work and savings. Unless we can get more profits than are now customary, we shall still lack for investments. With present profits, Mr. Truman’s figure cannot be reached. Why, then, do we need investment? For exactly the same reasons that we need profits. In order to make sure there will be enough jobs at good wages. Lack of investments and lack of profits is an invitation to unem ployment and hard times. Let’s not be deceived by those who would arouse us against profits. They would like to wreck our “profit” system, which has given us the highest wages and best living conditions men ever knew. Share and Share Alike Johnny and Bill were coming home from a long hike. Reaching She crossroads, they saw a sign which read. “Centerville—10 miles.’ “Good!” sighed Johnny, “that'f only five more miles apiece!"’ Uncle Sam Says We don't like to ma<« X marks after your name. Do you know the best way (o assure your children a line education? Pos* sibly right how you are picturing them in a college cap and gown. But you must realize these will represent the entire cost of a college education* You need not wait until they enter college to start paying for it. Start flow on the safe, sure-saving way with U.S. Savings Bonds. In ten years you’ll have $4 to spend for every SS you put in. There are two automatic ways for the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds, your firm's Payroll Savings Plan, or, if self- employed, your bank’s Bond-a-Month Plan. D .S, Treasury D epartm ent Xree-Planting Sim plified By Remarkable Machine Machines will take much of the strain out of tree planting in the fu ture, declares Prof. Fred E. Winch, Jr., assistant extension forester at Cornell. Several commercial tree planters are already on the market. ■Some plow furrows in which the tree is planted, while others open up a slit in which the tree is set and as the machine passes the rear wheels tamp the tree in place. Cost of such a machine is too great for the person who plants less than 100 trees. Some of the soil conserva tion districts, however, own machines that are available to cooperators. It is pointed out that many farm ers could use a home-made planter— a pair of old log-cart wheels fitted with iron or steel blades about six in ches long and attached to the wheel at the circumference. As the wheel turns, the blades are driven into the ground, and as it proceeds the blades throw dirt out of the hole. If the wheel is four feet in di ameter, two blades at opposite ends will dig holes slightly under six feet apart. Two rows of holes can be dug with two heavily weighted wheels pulled by a tractor. Texas City Stages "Comeback” Devastated by the explosions of two freighters loading ammonium ni trate fertilizer in its harbor, Texas City, Tex., suffered one of America’s worst peacetime catastrophes on Ap ril 16-17, 1947. The explosions were perhaps the most destructive ever known on the North American contin ent, apart from the atom bomb test. Only the Black Toih and Halifax ex plosions of World War I are compar able. But Texas City has already “come back." Except for the dock area, hardly a scar of the terrific ex plosion remain's. The business district gleams with shiny new store fronts and plate glass. The stricken residen tial districts are freshly painted, neater and tidier looking than ever before. Fire insurance and the un daunted will of the people have been behind this amazing reconstruction. Microwaves Demonstrate j Nature of Lifht and Radio Microwaves, made famous by radar, provide the teacher with the timplest means of demonstrating the nature of light and radio waves, C. L. Andrews, New York State College for Teachers, told the conven tion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Ught waves are a hundredth of a hairs breadth long. To observe wave effects in light, the student must squint through a microscope eyepiece into some ingenious de vice. Radio waves are a few thou sand feet long. To study their wave effects, a laboratory the size of the state of Texas with a roof 100 miles high is required. Wave effects of microwaves are man-sized, conveniently spread out on a laboratory table to be meas ured with an ordinary ruler. With the aid of a hand-sized transm itter and a hand-sized intensity meter, reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction and polarization of waves are to be demonstrated. Fading of radio signals due to in terference between the direct wave and that reflected from the Ken- nelly-Heaviside layer is simulated with the transm itter and receiver a few feet apart and a wire screen used to represent the ionosphere. Precaution for Housewives After lighting but before leaving a burner, the flame should be observed to make sure that pcrfect ignition has occurred. This applies to burners under the solid or partly enclosed cooking top of a range and to a radi ant space heater as much as to ai. ov en, water heater or furnace. It some times happens that gas does not light at every port of a burner, and un- burned gas escapes from those at which there is no flame. Oven burn ers are especially subject to this trou ble. When the gas is lighted it is well to make sure that there is a flame at every port. If there is not, some thing may be wrcng. Usual!;' the burner needs cleaning, but if cleaning does not remedy t‘ic troubls tho burner should be repaired or replac- cd by an experienced appliance ad- -'"«ter. Weather Science to Tame Destructive Ice and Hail There is a very good possibility that destructive hailstorms may be eliminated in the future, and seri ous ice storms may be “tamed” in winter, according to snow-and-rain- making scientists, National Patent council reports. By introducing large quantities of Ice nuclei at and above the freez ing level in high cumulus clouds, hail particles would be unable to grow to any considerable size, ac cording to Vincent J. Shaefer, con sultant to "Project - Cirrus,” a weather research program being conducted by the army signal .corps and office of naval research. There is evidence that the seri ous ice storms of last winter result ed from formation of rain in super cooled clouds, according to Shaefer. Under such conditions, it should have been possible to convert all this rain to snow. It is unlikely that the inconvenience and traffic trou ble produced by an increase in snowfall would be as great as that caused by icy streets, broken pow er, light and telephone wires, and the breakage of shade and fruit trees. Not all ice storms can be related to supercooled clouds, in Shaefer’s opinion, but last winter’s storms point out the importance of know ing more about such situations and having facilities to cope with them when the situation could stand im provement. Uncle Sam Says The dollars my young nieces and nephews earn this summer can give them a stake in the future and help keep the country's economy running on an even keel.

T reasury lfrfntrtnu n Flre Protection on the I arni Farm people lost more than IUU mil lion dollars last year from fires. Here are a few ideas for fire protection: Farms should be kept clean at all times. Good. housekeeping in and around farm buildings will remove many fire hazards. Electrical equip ment and circuits should be checked regularly. Worn wiring shoulc be re placed. Heating units should be kept In good condition, and chimneys and flues kept free from cracks. Stored hay should be inspected regulaily for odors, smoke, gas and hrat—al! warning sig nals. Approved fire extinguishers should be on hand in the home and in every outbuilding, and every member of the family should know how to use them. Diamond Seconds . . Mrs. Newlyrich had been given an I elegant wrist watch for Christmas. At J a dinner party one evening, a lady . leaned over to her and said: “Pardon me, but could you tell me what time it iB?”“Certainly,” replied Mrs. Newly- rich peering at the^ dial. "It’s two rubies past three diamonds.” Cotton Is Most Popular Of Mattress Materials Solid-filled m attresses derive their comfort from the natural resiliency of their filling materials. The great est percentage of these are filled with cotton. The best ones are filled with long-fibered cotton which has been felted into layers. The cheaper ones—the ones into which short cot ton fibers are blown, or the plater m attress which has loose fibers in the center with a few felted cotton layers above and beneath—tend to m at down, developing lumps and depressions. High quality curled hair makes a good m attress for anyone who pre fers a very firm sleep foundation. Horse tail and cattle tail hair are best, with horse mane second. Hog hair is rather stiff and less resilient. Kapok, which comes from the pod of a tropical tree, makes a soft, light, easy to handle m attress. How ever, kapok fiber is extremely per ishable and there is little demand for kapok m attresses today. Rubber mattresses are made from the milk of rubber trees which has been whipped into a foam-like substance. Most of them are only four inches thick and require a deeper than standard bedspring. They are expensive and still too new for cumulative consumer reaction to be obtained.

R4 I sought for something rich and sweet That I could cherish on life’s way, And that would guide my weary feet That they might nevei go a- stray; And so I found God’s wondrous love Through Jesus Christ His only Son: My soul's now fixed on things a- bove As on life’s upward race I run How sweet this love that fills my heart And lifts my soul above the world, As I go forth to do my part Beneath salvation’s flag unfurled, To win the lost to Christ my Lord And help dear pilgrims bear their cross. That we may have a great reward Where none shall ever suffer loss! This precious, holy love of God Keeps out desire for evil things, Aud blesses ’neath the chast’nlng rod Until one’s heart and spirit sings, And glories in the beav’nly grace That comes so sweetly flowing down To strengthen one on life’s great race Till he shall win and wear a crown. Tbank God for love that lifts the soul To higher realms than rarth And keeps us true while evils roll And Satan seeks with many swords To cut our faith and trust and hope And leave us stranded on life’s shore. Where we in pain would have to grope, Lost and defeated evermore. BigBill ForBooze Secretary of Defence Forrestal and Army Secretary Royall have been citeb as defendants in a suit brought by an Italian firm of booze merchants against officers’ clubs for breaking r. contract to buy 1,600,- 000 bottles of wine and cognac. Cognac is a brandy distilled from the bolls of grapes after the juice has been squeezed from tbe frnit by stomping on it with bare feet— and tbe stompers aren’t always particular about washing their feet before they hop into tbe barrels. Well a little diit can’t hurt the stuff. The suit has been filed in Wash, ington's District Court aud alleges that the clubs were organized for tbe “convenience, recreation and social welfere” of its members who, it said, number more than 100,000 officers and enlisted men. The sum involved is $1,513,932. While the professional brass was making propaganda for compulsory military service until the draft law was passed, we heard and read a lot about tbe uplifting effects of army life on our young people. We’d like to kuow just how much alcohol it takes to uplift an aver age soldier, commissioned or non commissioned officer? It *sn’t pro bable that tbe order with the Milan firm was cancelled because our oc cupation troops mounted the water wagen. It’s more Iikelv that a better supply, and maybe a cheap er one. was discovered elsewhere. It would be interesting to know how many quarts of alcoholic bev erages it takes for tbe “ recreation 1 and social welfare'' of every man in uniform.—Statesville Daily. Radio Has Class THE bridegroom had shown-greal patience on his initial shopping trip, during which the bride had been most exacting in selecting a radio which would exactly match their furniture. Several were re jected because of slight scratches or imperfections in finish. Others were criticized for veneers or poor lines. At last a very expen sive model was displayed, and after many exclamations the bride nodded to her sew husband to pay the bill. “And I know the exact spot foi otir new radio," she confided on the way home. “We’ll have it built into our bookcase, and no one will ever dream it’s a radio." PROOF POSITIVE Many people will remember how the celebrated Theodore Hook, of an earlier day, deflated the pom pous gentlemen of his era by walk ing up to them and demanding: “Pray, sir are you anybody of im portance?” A stranger once tried to embar rass the extremely imposing British actor. Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, by repeating these words to him. But Sir Herbert's wit was equal to his imposing appearance. “I don’t think I can be,” he re joined, “or I should hardly be seen talking to you.” DAILY BREAD The family was sitting down to dinner when little Sylvia turned to her father. “Why can’t we pray once a week, daddy?” queried the child. “Do we have to ask for our daily bread every day?” Her younger brother looked up in utter disgust.. “Do you think we want to get stale bread?” he asked. “Paints Preserve Hs” “The reason that women live long er than men is because paint is a great preservative."

' developed by him and the station rgrononiists into a popular forage in northwest, it is working its way into favor in many parts of the north ern states and may go farther. Las! year the production of seed, practical ly all of it grown In Oregon, Wash ington, and Idaho, totaled close to 2,50u,00'J pounds, enough for seeding about 160,000 acres. Of this, Oregon produced about 1,750,000 pounds. In addition to 10,000 acres devoted to alta fescue seed production, 49,000 acres was grown for forage In the three states last year. Stands of this new fescue have sur prising persistence. The first seed-in- crease planting was in 1936 and that plot of one-tenth of an acre is still thriving. The plant sends its roots down 5 feet or more where conditions are most favorable, a characteristic that enables it to keep green in dry weather and to keep growing contin uously over a long season. It i3 adapt ed to heavy soils and does well even where drainage is poor. Preliminary tests in Missouri indicate it may prove a good forage for growing on overflow land and on gray silt loare with tight hardpan layers. London Bridge Makes T rip To Serve Central A frica When enemy bombs and rockets rained havoc on Britain during the blitz, Londoners watched squads of workmen hastily erect two large tem porary bridges over the Thames. Had any of the main bridges been blown to bits, London’s heavy traffic was to be diverted across these stop-gap roadways. At war’s end, no traffic had dver crossed them. These bridges are to be re-erected as a link on the main highway run ning between Salisbury and Lusaka, the capitals of Southern and North ern Rhodesia, two land-locked terri tories in the heart of Africa. This vital route is now broken at the Ka- fue, some 35 miles south of Lusaka, where the river has to be crossed by ferry. This bridge will bs of importance in plans now being considered to in dustrialize the Rhodesias and to de velop the world’s largest known de posits of coal and one of the biggest sources of chrome ,in existence. Northern and Southern Rhodesia together are larger than the combin ed areas of Texas and Colorado. Their combined population of nearly 3,500,- 000 is, however, less than half that of the two U. §. states. Poisonous Snake Strikes Sivlftly When the poisonous snake strikes, his mouth opens wide, so the upper and lower jaws are in a vertical line. The fangs point outward like two slightly curved lances. Several drops of venom are forced into the wound. AU this is accomplished within a fraction of a second. Two or three drops of poison at ona time will Ae released by a large snake. The size of the injection varies with the object struck and the slate of the reptile’s excitement. More poison is used In biting a man than a rabbit. When the poison enters the body, part of it is rapidly absorbed into the blood stream by capillary blood-vessels. The balance of the venom remains at the fang punctures until absorbed. Great swelling and discoloration quickly ap pear in the region of the bite. If the snake's fangs puncture a vein or an artery the victim is almost certain to die, because the poison quickly reach es the brain, heart and other vital or gans. Whirling Dervishes Still Whirl The whirling dervishes of Turkey ; were a hardy lot. They banged their heads against oak trees, thrived on a diet ot broken glass, walked through beds of hot coals and came up smil ing—and spinning like a top. It was the Turkish rejuvenator, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, who drove the dervish e s into their final tailspin. Sometime around 1920 he abolished the crumb ling caliphate, ordered women to drop their veils, and decreed the use of the Roman alphabet and western dress. The dervishes were ordered to go, but. were determined to hang on, and many of them lost their necks in the process. But the dervish has not been entirely eradicated. Their habitat is the entire Moslem world, from North Africa through Asia Minor and Asia as far as India and China. Turkey and Persia have been their principal bailiwicks. yOUTHFUL CURIOSITY A youngster stood gazing intently at his father’s visitor, a homely man of large proportions. At length the portly one, becoming a bit embar rassed, said: "Well, my boy. what are you looking at me for?” “Why,” replied the boy, “Daddy told Mother that you were a self- made man, and I want to see what you look like." “Quite right,” said the gratified guest. “I am a self-made man.” “But what did you make yourself like that for?” asked the boy, with considerable surprise. Time Conquers Friend: “What do you expect your son to be when he finishes school?” Father: “An old man.” Stringing Him Along Little. Tommy arrived at the party exceedingly late, a puzzling phe nomenon considering his well-known fondness for ice cream and cake. “Why. Tommy,” exclaimed the hostess, “you almost missed the re freshments. Why are you so late?” “It’s these new boots mother gave me," the youngster complained. "So that’s what delayed you?” “Yes,” muttered Tommy, “she forgot to cut the string!” niverssft Postal Station ' st Keeps K olling Along L'ce Universal Postal station, com- of virtually all the countries t clonial areas of the world, was Virhed in Paris about 70 years ■ United States took the first • r i-.-.-ard world postal simplificap : i '3^2 when President Lincoln’s ~:~r general, Montgomery prr.-'o.-ecl a convention which -.'Tl in Paris in 1863.

From the second postal congress in Paris in mid-1878, however, the Universal Postal union took its name and its Eflobal range. Sixty postal adminis trations then or promptly afterward adhered to the Paris postal treaty. The union’s purpose is clearly stat ed ii that treaty. It is to “alleviate the uncertainty, confusion, and ex cessive cost of international postal communications by uniting countries In a single postal territory for the re ciprocal exchange of mail.’’ Now included as one of 11 special ized agencies of the United Nations, the union carries on its work through its international bureau at Bern, op ened in 1874. A ttic Relics Often Offer A ttractive Possibilities Attics can be wonderful places, es pecially when they belong to the fam ily or friends of young couples just starting to furnish a new home. Many once discarded pieces of furniture can take up a useful life again in new guise. An old-fashioned dresser can be made into a smart, modem piece of living room or dining room furniture If the mirror is removed, the sides squared and the legs cut off. Given several coats of lacquer, it becomes a striking buffet or storage piece. Old tables are real treasures, for they offer many remodeling possibili ties as wen as being so useful and do ing much to give a room a “lived in” look. Sometimes it is only neces sary to refinish the surface of an oth erwise satisfactory table. If the pro portions are right, legs can be cut to the right height for end tables or coffee tables. The table itself, if too large, can even be cut in half and placed against the wall In foyer or living room. Smart home furnishers never dis card any object after just a casual fiance. A second look often suggests % possible use, and the ugly duckling may become the prize possession of the new home.

WEEKLY NEWS AN ALYSIS- Bernadotte’s Murder Dramatizes Question of Palestine Before U.N.; East-West Crisis Hits Final Peak -By B ill Schoentgen, W N U Staff W riter- Bernadotte Shrinkage MICE* OOOCtt T MWH / FftICt) OMOSIN*. (Graph by Family Economics Bureau, Northwestern National Life Listirance company.) Since 1939 the total num ber of dollars in circulation in the U. S. has m ore than trebled—from 33 billion to nearly 109 billion—while our industrial production of goods to buy has less than doubled. Result: Cheaper money. Each dollar’s proportionate worth in goods has fallen until it now takes 1.76 dollars to buy as m uch as one dollar would buy in 1939. Over three tim es as m any dollars bidding frantically for less than twice as m uch goods equals in flation. (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these colnmns. they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) HOLY LAND: Murder The sullen-faced, uniformed m en in the jeep didn’t say a word after they had stopped the procession of United Nations cars that was wind ing through the Katam on section of Jerusalem . Carrying a m achine gun, one of them walked up to the automobile in which Count Folke Bernadotte and Col. Andre Pierre Ser- rot were s ittin g , looked inside and started shooting. The two killers fled, leaving Serrot dead and Berna- d o tt e m o rta lly wounded. The U. N. Palestine m ediator died as he was be ing c a r r ie d into H adassah hospital on a stretcher. For Bernadotte, head of the Swedish Red Cross, nephew of the king of Sweden, diplom at and hu m anitarian, it was a wretched, fu tile end. His death was mourned not only by governm ents but by millions of ordinary citizens, yet he died not knowing when or if ever his assidu ous and sincere efforts to organize peace in the Holy Land would be fulfilled. B em adotte’s assassination brought Jerusalem —and all of Palestine, for that m atter—perilously close to the brink of general violence. There was danger, too, that the uneasy Arab-Jewish truce m ight fall to pieces under the circum stances. For the tim e being, Bernadotte’s killers rem ained unidentified. The Israeli government called it the work of Stern gang terrorists and issued an edict outlawing that ex trem ist group. In Oslo, Norway, U. N. Secre tary-G eneral Trygve Lie added his panegyric to the praise that was be ing heaped on the m artyred Berna dotte : VHe burned with eagerness to bring about an understanding be tween Arabs and Jews. He thought always of justice and peace.” FINAL REPORT: tEnd It Noid As the United Nations general as sem bly convened for its fateful 1948-49 session in the Palais de Chail- Iot the m em ber nations took tim e out to pay som ber tribute to Count Folke Bernadotte, their representa tive in Palestine who had died while trying to im plem ent the peace of which they were supposed to be the architects. Then they began consideration of the plan for an enforced Palestine settlem ent that Bernadotte had sub m itted before his death. THE SWEDISH COUNT’S final 35,- OOO-word report recom m ended that the Arab-Jewish w ar should be “pro nounced form ally ended.” If the Arabs and Jew s refuse to m ake peace, the U. N. should do so itself, the report said. It calls for changes in the bound aries of the U. N. partition plan adopted in November, 1947, pro posing that the Negeb desert by given to the Arabs and that the Jew s should receive all of Galilee instead of only the eastern part. Other recommendations include: 1. INTERNATIONALIZATION of Jerusalem by placing it under U. N. control. 2. ESTABLISHMENT of a techni cal boundaries commission to delim it the new frontiers. 3. CREATION of a Palestine con ciliation commission to deal with population exchanges and supervise other parts of U. N. decisions. 4. SETTLEMENT of the problem of 360,000 Arab refugees by giving them the right to return to their homes in Jewish territory or to re ceive compensation if they choose not to return. It was a good plan, the United States thought, and Secretary of State M arshall announced that this nation would back it to the fullest extent. Said M arshall: “THE UNITED/STATES consid ers that the conclusions contained in the final report of Count Berna dotte offer a generally fair basis for settlem ent of the Palestine ques tion.” He called it “the best possible basis for bringing peace to a dis tracted land,” adding that “No plan could be proposed which would be entirely satisfactory in all respects to every interested party.” RUSSIANS: Western Stand Those who, in commenting on the strained relationship between the E ast and West, have been wont to say, “It’ll get worse before it gets any better,” probably had reached the end of their rhetorical rope. For it was unlikely that it could get any worse without producing arm ed conflict of some kind. This, it appeared, was the top of the heap of crises that had been piling up for two years. There were these developments: THE AMERICAN, British and French am bassadors, who had been talking with Soviet Foreign Min ister V. M. Molotov and Prem ier Stalin in Moscow for six weeks, left the Russian capital, presum ably ending the four-power discussions. THE THREE western- powers asked the Krem lin for a simple and final “yes or no” on the question of whether Russia will lift its block ade of Berlin. U. S. SECRETARY of State George M arshall, speaking before the U. N. general assem bly, warned the Soviet Union that Am erican pa tience should not be m istaken for weakness. With the Moscow talks at an end the center of action in the crisis had shifted to P aris where the is sue would be debated in the U. N. The western nations—the U. S., France and G reat Britain—plainly had had enough and were deter m ined not to give another inch. In an hour-long speech before parliam ent, British Foreign Secre tary E rnest Bevin expressed his na tion’s determ ination: “We are firm ly resolved to go on with our pol icy. “I AM NOT SAYING by that that we are com mitted to w ar and all the other things th at m ight ensue. We have not reached that stage yet.” Speaking to the United Nations in Paris, George M arshall, U. S. sec retary of state, outlined the basic U. S. foreign policy in m uch the sam e m anner as Bevin. The United States, he said, would not “com promise the essential principles” or “barter away the rights and freedoms of other peoples.” HOME OWNERS: Record High One of the m ost maddening of all the m odern paradoxes is that while millions of Am erican fam ilies are searching desperately for decent places to live, at the sam e tim e m ore American fam ilies own their own homes now than ever before in history. About 49 per cent of the nation’s non-farm fam ilies owned their homes at the beginning of this year, it has been revealed by a federal reserve board survey. That comes to a ‘total of 18.5 million city and town fam ilies. Although the survey did not take up farm fam ilies, the proportion of home owners among that group tra ditionally has been m uch higher than among city dwellers. THERE’S NO EXCUSE A m e r i c a 's R u r a l F ir e L o s s C a n B e C u t Although fire prevention week is over for this year, the danger of farm fires is not over and possibly never will be. But that seeming inevitability is no excuse. As a m atter of fact, fire protection experts say, there is no longer any excuse for Am erica’s 100-million-dollar annual farm fire loss. ' The m eans to reduce it are avail able to alm ost any community that wahts to m ake the effort. Principal m eans of cutting rural fire losses, according to the Nation al Board of Fire Underwriters, is a good volunteer fire departm ent, quartered in a sm all town but serv ing the surrounding area that has been organized into a fire protec tion district, such as now is author ized in 39 states. ?

Governor Dewey is on record as favoring the Hope-Aiken law passed by congress last June, and Presi dent Trum an says he is in favor of farm price supports and has been all along. BOTH SIDES have prom ised their help to the nation’s farm ers. As a result of the growing amount of light that has been shed upon the idea of price supports there has been a lot of argum ent as to wheth er they keep up costs of living in the city and, hence, contribute gen erally toward inflation. The system was started in the 1930s to save farm ers from bank ruptcy caused by surplus production and lack of consum er buying. It accomplished that end. IT WAS CHANGED during the w ar to m ake farm ers produce m ore food than the country needed to feed less fortunate nations who were fighting the Axis. It did that. After the w ar this incentive sys tem was continued to keep greater am ounts of food flowing into desti tute areas abroad. It was success ful in that, also. Now, however, as a result of this artificial stim ulation, production is beginning to pile up in the U. S. The w artim e pattern of price sup port no longer fits the Am erican m arket. THE POTATO situation is a case in point. As the governm ent con tinues to stim ulate the production of potatoes the guaranteed prices keep consumers from getting the surplus crops at bargain prices, and at the sam e tim e the system keeps farm ers growing too m any potatoes. Congress this year elected to re vise the price support program , ef fective in 1950, by providing new parity prices based on modern farm practices and by allowing a fluctu ation in support levels to conform w ith general economic conditions. Dewey and Eggs W In sharp contrast to Henry Wal lace’s unsavory experience with eggs in the South, the product of the hen brought nothing but good to Gov. Thomas E . Dewey, GOP presidential candidate. At his Pawling, N. Y., farm he was m ade honorary m em ber of the national “ Good Egg” club and was pre sented with an egg-bedecked plaque by H obart Creighton (left), GOP nominee for governor of In diana and president of the Poul try and Egg national board. ANSWER MAN: Brannan When it comes to questions Secre tary of Agriculture Charles Bran- nan gets all kinds, m any of which have nothing to do with farm ing. Pouring in at the rate of 3,000 a day, the queries vary from : “How do I bury cats in the ground?” to “W hat was Little Eva’s last nam e in the play, ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin?’ ” and "Can you recomm end a lonely hearts club?

WASHINGTON.—W ashington cocktail parties and other so cial gatherings have been widely publicized as m akers and break ers of reputations, national candidacies and international policies, Not all of these affairs m ay forge or fracture the destiny of nations, but m any often bring together as great a variety of hum an ingredients as arc to be found at any one place at any one time, anywhere. r BAUKHAGE F or example I have just returned^’ from lunch. I probably should say “luncheon” con sidering what it m ust have cost m y red-headed college m ate host whose excuse for giving it was the fact that he w as celebrating his 55th birthday but whose real rea sons lay beyond distant frontiers. The bearded Ital ian scientist on his left reminded him that the occasion was unique be cause it was hard ly likely he would celebrate a simi lar occasion 55 years hence. A little m acabre, I thought, but no one seem ed to take it that way —least of all the fellow-citizen of Dante who was enjoying himself immensely over his cold smoked turkey and doubtless becam e lyric over the lira and other im portant transalpine institutions before we were through. On the bearded one’s left was a representative of the state depart m ent who gave m e a disappointing ly eye-witness and unsensational ac count of the recent'parliam ent ses sion of one of our South American neighbors—a session which I had judged from previous dispatches, would be punctuated by revolver shots. We had heard rum ors of m ys terious shootings there which were supposed to have m ade up in political significance what they lacked in m arksm anship. Also there had begn hints of cabinet changes due not only to m istakes in policy, but to hasty burials. I asked m y fellow guest about it. “Oh, no,” he said, “there were no cabinet changes.” “But what about these terrible rum ors of graft and corruption?” “Well, the President in his ad dress did m ake particular reference to the evils of political corruption and to the im portance of selfless loyalty on the part of the servants of the state.” “But was that all?” I persisted. 'No nam es, addresses, or telephone num bers?” “That w as all,” he insisted, “It was a very quiet session. Further more there was none of the proto col we observe at a joint session of the two houses of the American con gress. This parliam ent was called to order, the President cam e in, spoke his piece, and went out.” At this point, m y host broke in. He insisted that I repeat the story of the opening of this sum m er’s special “ turnip” session of congress which nobody outside of a few million radio listeners who happened to be tuned in had heard before. Legislative Faux Pas, De Luxe Style This July 26 when a very angry house of representatives was called to order, it w as known that the regu lar chaplain could not appear. So, when a stranger took the rostrum , the less-somnolent m em bers rose, bowed their heads, as is the custom, to listen to the prayer. The first words they heard resounding through the cham ber w ere: “Where as the public interest requires that the congress of the United States should be convened at 12 o’clock noon on Monday, the twenty-sixth of July, 1948, to receive such communi cation as m ay be m ade by the Ex ecutive: Now, therefore, I, H arry S. Trum an, President of the United States . . .” and so on. . . . Gradually the m em bers real ized that the m an addressing them was not the substitute for the absent chaplain of the house, but the substitute for the equal- ly-absent reading clerk whose duty it is to read bills and offi cial communications. It was m ost em barrassing. The voice they were hearing was not the voice of a m an repeating the word of God; it was the voice of the sub stitute clerk repeating the procla mation of the m an at whom they were m addest. The m em bers didn't like to m ake public admission of their error by sitting down, and so they had to stand through the pain ful 114-word pronouncement which had torn them from the bosom of family and constituency, and brought them back to heat-ridden Washing ton. Next to the state departm ent offi cial who had unwitttingly provided the excuse for my anecdote was the consul-general of the Philippine re public who happens to be the son of another college classm ate of mine. He, like the rest of his fam ily, had outlived the Japanese oc cupation, and with his sister, had participated in the effective Philip pine underground, m em ories of which m ade this day’s current trag edy of the Philippines—the eruption of Hibokhibok volcano on Camiquin island—a decidedly m inor concern. On m y left was a prom inent Wash ington lawyer. During a lull in the discussion of international, if not cosmic affairs, he suddenly asked: “W hat was your m other’s maiden nam e?” ' “Alice Blood,” I replied. “Yes,” he nodded in satisfac tion, “ My aunt, Clara Brown, often told m e about your moth er. They were classm ates (Ing ham university ’78), and she was a bridesm aid at your m other’s wedding in La Salle, Dlinois.” Skipping your correspondent around the table, we arrive at a famous scientist. We exchanged rem iniscences too, for he also was a graduate of the sam e college. As we talked, I rem em bered an anec dote about him I had heard from a m utual college friend. A Check by Any Other Name . .. Not m any years after his gradua tion, this scientist and his young wife arrived in the city where our m utual friend was in business, and called on him. The businessman recognized the scientist’s face im m ediately but for the life of him couldn’t rem em ber the m an’s nam e. During their lunch, the scientist rem arked that he was going on an extended trip into Canada and had unfortunately run out of money. He wondered could he get a check cashed at the businessm an’s bank. The businessman gladly acquiesced, thinking that when he saw the sig nature on the check, he would rec ognize the scientist’s nam e. Togeth er they went to the bank, the scien tist wrote the check, and the two m en went to the cashier’s window. But as the scientist handed in the check, all the businessm an could read was the nam e of a bank in a very distant city and the am o u n t- five hundred dollars. He had already said to the cash ier, “I w ant you to m eet m y friend . . .” but could get no further. Ter ribly em barrassed, he turned to the scientist and said: “I’m sorry, but I can’t recall your nam e. Of course the cashier over heard this rem ark and with Qie natural caution of the banker, said to the businessm an: “This will be fine, Mr. X, but will you please endorse this?” M r. X turned it over, noted the nam e but did not recognize it, trem bled to think of w hat would hap pen to his bank account if it bounced (and he was sure it would), and signed. Farew ells were spoken, Qte scienQst de parted. Day after day the busi nessm an aw aited the call from the bank. In fact, he told m e he had picked out a space on the wall where he intended to fram e the paper so that he could call attention to it casu ally should some other vaguely identified caller request a sim ilar favor. Nothing happened. A month or so later, another col lege friend cam e to town. The busi nessm an related the story, describ ing the scientist and his occupation. Unaccountably his listener burst into laughter. “ Didn’t you know,” he said be tween gasps, “That m an’s tech nical as well as scientific infor m ation which he acquired at school along with his Ars Mag- ister m ade him a cool million the year after he was gradu ated?” At the luncheon there was also a Chinese oil expert who m erely lis tened and an ERP representative who left early. And now back to m y red-headed host. He related the adventure of one of the guests who had been un able to appear. It seems this gen tlem an had form ed a corporation called “World Development, Inc.” or something very sim ilar. When m y host heard his glowing pros pectus, he said, “Aren’t you cover ing a lot of ground.” “Oh, no,” said the prom oter who since had acquired considerable in fluence in international affairs, “this is just a subsidiary of the In ter-Planetary corporation.” Then I had to go, so I never knew what m aster-plan for the rebuilding and exploiting of the nation, the world or the sidereal spaces were discussed or consummated. But I have no doubt you can go a long way in Washington—starting witb cold turkey.

Doubt About Dulles TT ISN’T being advertised, but Gov- ernor Dewey has received some firm but friendly advice from high- up Republicans to think twice be fore he appoints John Foster Dulles as his secretary of state. The opposition to Dulles is partly on the ground that he is one of Wall Street’s m ost prom inent lawyers, partly because of the disastrous role Dulles played in selling the Ameri can public on the now defaulted G erm an bonds prior to 1938 when leading Am erican economists w ere warning that they would be worth less paper. One high-up Republican who re cently cautioned Dewey about Dulles was Sen. Styles Bridges Rep., N- H .), chairm an of the powerful senate appropriations committee. Bridges raised a new objection, nam ely Dulles’ recom m endation of Alger Hiss, alleged Communist, to be chairm an of the Carnegie Peace Foundation. The directors of the foundation, Bridges recalled, were lukewarm about Hiss but w ere pressured into the appointment by Dulles. “ Yes, he did m ake a m istake on that one,’’ adm itted Dewey. “And he’s m ade too m any m is takes,” urged Senator Bridges. “He m ade a terrible m istake regarding the Nazis. We just can’t afford to have a m an as secretary of state who m akes m istakes. The problem of peace is too delicate.” Bridges also rem inded Dewey that Dulles m ight have difficulty in be ing confirmed by the senate. “We hope to give you a real m a jority in the senate in November,” the New Ham pshire senator ex plained. “But we m ay be dam lucky to keep what we’ve got. If so, and if only two or three Re publicans oppose Dulles, then the Dem ocrats will jum p in en m asse to fight his confirmation. They'll love it.” Dewey countered that Foreign M inister Molotov liked Dulles, and that ironing out our Russian prob lem s was all im portant.” “He’s the only m an in Ameri ca who can get along with Molo tov,” Dewey told Bridges. “And, I suppose,” quipped Bridges, "that Molotov is a good Republican and wants us to win in Nbvem ber.'' In Praise of Bradley If w ar should come to beleaguered Berlin, the m en at the top of the U. S. arm y today are among the m ost competent, hum an, and civili an-minded that this newsman has seen around the w ar departm ent in m ahy a year. This appraisal, by the way, comes from a long-time and vigorous critic of the brass hats. Responsible for this new deal around the Pentagon building are General Eisenhower and his successor, modest Om ar Brad ley. It is im portant for the American public to know that when the dare devil boys of the air forces and the drop-the-bomb-now m en of the navy gather at joint chiefs of staff m eet ings, there is always present one calm conscience who never forgets the 300,000 G. I.s buried under white crosses from Guadalcanal to Sicily. Take off his uniform and Om ar Bradley looks like a college profes sor. He is quiet, gracious, gener ous, good natured and basically a very plain person. Everybody who ever worked with Bradley rem arks on his simplicity. His m ess ser geant in France had orders never to use Bradley’s nam e to wangle food for headquarters. Once during the historic landing at Normandy, Bradley, then a three-star general, took off his fleece-lined jacket and handed it to a shivering corporal. “Here, son,” he said. “It will be easier for m e to get another than it will be for you.” • * * Spunky Mr. Truman Spunky H arry Trum an isn’t being discouraged by the Roper poll which concedes him no chance to win. Talking to the District of Columbia Trum an-Barkley com m ittee the oth er day, he declared: “We won’t lose this cam paign for lack of hard work. I intend to m ake m ore public appearances and wage the m ost strenuous cam paign any president has ever attem pted. I’m not only going to m akg radio appeals to the m an in the street—I’m going to rub shoulders with him.” His chief worry, the President con fided, was the possibility of a light vote. “We’ll need a heavy vote and I’m going out to get it if I have to punch doorbells,” the Presi dent said. “If every Demo cratic precinct com mitteeman throughout the country operates on that theory, we’ll be all right.” That even goes for the District of Columbia, Trum an told his D. C. callers, led by Al W heeler, a Wash ington attorney. “Citizens of the D istrict can’t vote, but there’s a big potential absentee vote here that could be m ighty im portant,” explained the President. Crop Roots Require Oxygen and Water Organic Matter Decay Helps Soil to ‘Breathe’ Soils m ust “breathe” deeply if crop roots are to support high yields above the ground. These roots need oxygen to grow and reach out for w ater plant nutrients. To breathe deeply, soils m ust have regular additions of organic m atter. Without organic m atter soils tighten up. Soil particles are jam m ed together. The soil becom es a com pacted m ass. There is little room for either air or w ater. Roots find it hard to forage in the tight soil. When organic m atter is added, it opens the soil for air and w ater to soak in deeply. As it rots the organic m atter builds soil struc ture. The hum us form ed from or ganic m atter swells and shrinks with wetting and drying. Com pounds that form when organic m atter decays help to stick these m ineral particles together in sm all groups so that the soil is loose and workable. Organic m atter should be added deep in the soil as well as in the plow layer. Middle W est Soil Im provem ent com m ittee points out that the best way to drive organic m atter down deep is through use PLOW I NEED AIR. TOO TO GROW/ of tap-rooted legumes, such as al falfa or sw eet clover, regularly in the rotation. The roots of these legum es drill down 18 to 25 inches below the plow layer. H eavy stands of legum es also can be secured by liming according to soil tests, and by m aking sure soils are well stocked with phos phate and potash for full produc tion. When a good top growth is plowed under to go with the roots, these legum es will build the struc ture tilth soil needs for high yields. O n e -W h e e l P o w e r U n it The power unit, designed by Carl ton M. Edwards, Cornell university, for Lincoln Arc Welding foundation, can be used to drive num erous front mounted garden tools, farm tools, lawn m owers or snow blades. A cultivator tool b ar can be attached across the rear of the fram e. Cast er wheels on each end of the tool bar will adjust depth and give three points on the ground for balance. All welding on this unit can be done with § 3/16-inch diam eter elec trode, using approxim ately 180 am . peres welding current. H e rd s a n d F lo c k s All night lights help to prevent stampeding of turkeys on range. Blackhead of t u r k e y s causes heavy losses. Phenothiazine pow der m ixed in the m ash a t the rate of one ounce daily for 100 birds, has been found effective in preventing losses, because it destroys cecal worms which are carriers of the blackhead organisms. To m ake lam bs tick proof, spray them with DDT. Mix one pound of a 50 per cent w ettable DDT pow der in 25 gallons of w ater and apply it to the back, belly, sides and around neck and ears. One appli cation should last for two or three weeks. Two essentials for livestock and poultry in late sum m er are shade and w ater.

The new m ethod of borer control takes the place of older m ethods using ethylene dichloride of PDB crystals, since it is non in jurious, labor-saving, tim e-saving and inexpensive. DDT is used at the rate of two pounds to each 100 gallons of w ater. E y >A.W.

Life and Law Lesson for October 17,1948 Dr. Forem an V O U , friend reader, probably 1 know less about w hat is in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Num bers and Deuteronomy than any other p art of the Bible. Thesp are the sections mostly filled with laws— “Thou shalt . . . Thou shalt not.” You e i t h e r skip these entirely or you say to yourself, “ Well, that has nothing to do with m e.” If so, you have been missing one of the most interesting sections of the Bible. Some of these old laws are dead; but even a m um m y can be interest ing. Call them dead if you like; you still can learn a great deal about the tim es and the m inds and the customs of those far-off days by reading the laws which governed people’s daily lives. But it is hardly fair to call them dead. R ather, they have been honorably retired. That is to say, they w ere adm irable laws in their tim e and place, and God’s will was learned through them . T he L iving S oul of L aw ’ I 'H ERE are two ways of looking •*- at any law, or you m ight say there are two sides of every law, the inside and the outside, the soul and the body as it were. The body, the outside, is the letter of the law ; the inside or soul of the law is the spirit or principle of the law. The body of the law, like the body of a m an, dies; it is not in tended to live on and on. But the soul of the law (if it has one; some don’t) lives forever. Take, for instance, that law in Lev. 19:9, 10. The body of it, the letter, says: Do not be efficient in getting in your crops. Leave some w heat in the field. Leave some grapes on the vine. Today that sounds rather stupid, on the face of it, and no good farm er would pay attention to it. But look at the spirit of that law : the wheat and the grapes w ere to be left for “the poor and the stranger.” There was then no Red Cross, no bureau of displaced persons, no traveler’s aid, no fam ily service, no social security, none of our m any m odem agencies for the underpriv ileged. Those who had property were bidden to have a care for those who had none. The duty of society to see that no one starves, the duty of aU to help those in need, that is the living soul of this law, and it still breathes in laws of the 20th century—Jaws of old age assist ance, m aternity assistance, pen sion plans and so forth. The living soul of the Old Testa m ent law s can be expressed this way: The love of justice and the justice of love. The best and wisest laws today are those which give this sam e spirit its fullest and most practical form .* * * Je su s’ L a st W ord r P H E Jew s figured out that there were in all 613 separate com m andm ents in all the laws com bined. They used to have interest ing debates as to which of all the 613 commandm ents was the m ost im portant. They cam e to Jesus with that well-worn question. Jesus quot ed only two laws, one from Deut. 6:5 and the other from Lev. 19:18. Love God, love your neighbor, he said. All the other laws depend on these two. To this day, Christian thinkers are not entirely agreed as to just how far Old Testam ent laws m ay be binding on Christians. But all are agreed on two points: The basic principle of these laws is always good, and that fundam ental principle is love.* • * L ove Is N o t R ep ealed r PH IS is what Christians m ean when they say that the laws of God are eternal. We do not m ean that every law between the covers of the Bible can and should be used as the law of our land today. W hat we do m ean is that the spirit of these laws is im m ortal, for the spirit is love, and love never has been repealed. Show m e a law which helps the strong at the expense of the weak, a law which encourages cheating and selfishness and fighting, and I will show you a bad law. Show m e a law which encourages and helps men to deal fairly with one another and to live together in peace, and I will show you a good law. Every law that helps you love your neigh bor is a good law; indeed there is something divine about it, for God is Love.

IACItBBfIllE A, TUBIBiI wIF lC ION CORNER‘BOOMERANG’ By B O I CONSTINER Holloway wanted to disown Jimmy until a beautiful woman proved that fa.ther and son were cut from the same pattern. H pR AILING smoke from an ex- -*- pensive cigar, stoutish J . P. Hol loway led his wife from the ele vator and into his private office. “Knew the m oment you called,” he flared, “Jim m y had wired for m ore money. But I’ll not send him one cent. Not one red cent! You under stand?” Mrs. Holloway settled herself in the nearest chair. The gentle ex pression on her sm all, m otherly face did not change. “As a m atter of fact,” she said softly, “I did hear from Jim m y, but—” “Knew it,” J. P . interrupted, “knew it all along. You were sit ting right here when I told him I would absolutely not tolerate any foolishness from him while he was attending college.” He hesitated m om entarily as he puffed furiously at his cigar, then added, “And now that he has gone and invested over his head in this—this blind enter prise with this woman whom he thought was his friend, and she has run out on him with the capital and left him without as m uch as fare—” It was then the intercom buzzed. J. P. flipped the button irritably. “Yes?” “A Miss Jenkins to see you, sir,” cam e a voice through the intercom set. “Has she an appointm ent?” he asked. “Oh, goodness!” Mrs. Holloway broke in hurriedly. “Jam es, I for got to m ention her. I asked her to stop in today.” J. P . frowned. “Well, who is she?” he asked caustically. “We m et yesterday at Mrs. Wel lington’s dinner party,” she replied, as she patted an im aginary gray hair in place; then added, “She is, I think, associated with the D elbam Motor corporation in D etroit; there fore, I’m sure, in a position to help us buy a new car sooner than we could have hoped to otherwise. . . .” “But I don’t w ant a new car,” he countered. “I have just had our old car overhauled.” “But — surely, Jam es,” she re turned somewhat pleadingly, “you can spare her a m oment.” J. P . paused m om entarily as he relit his cigar, and then flipped on the intercom set. “Send Miss Jen kins in,” he said briskly. W hat J. P . saw entering his office a m om ent later w as a dark, slender woman, and in the mid-afternoon light she was alm ost beautiful. The coil of her black hair pinned into a chignon at the nape of her neck, the tailored gray suit with the white pleated blouse was very becoming to her straight shoulders, and nar row slender hips, he thought. ‘It’s so nice of you to perm it m e a few m inutes of your valuable tim e, Mr. Holloway,” she began. Then, with a slight nod tow ard M rs. Hol loway, she added, “I’ve heard so m uch about you and your rapid ad vance in the business world, that it’s really quite a pleasure. . . .” J. P. grinned. “Thank you,” he said, as he adjusted his tie. “I—” “Your wife,” the saleswoman in terrupted, “has told m e that you’re interested in a new car.” “W-well, I really—” “That’s fine,”—she leaned closer —. “It’s certainly a privilege to have this opportunity of explaining our new car and system to intelli gent people.” She paused to turn on additional charm . “The fact is, we are m erely trying this new car out, and w ant only to try it through peo ple of your high reputation.” “This,”—she laid some sheets carefully before J. P.—“will help you to understand the grand idea which our m anagem ent has decided upon. It’s really splendid!” She smiled, showing white pearlish teeth. J. P. studied the sheets a mo m ent, and then looked up somewhat questioningly. “I notice something about a thirty day free—” She smiled. “No, this is not ex actly free. Yet, it is free in the sense that you’ll not be paying for the new car at the present tim e. W hat you’ll be paying the m ere $250 for is absolutely prom pt delivery of your new car within seven days after your deposit.” J. P. gave this a careful thought, then asked, “Supposing the car is not satisfactory, and the depositor decides he does not care for this type car?” “That,” she said quickly, “is a very good question. In fact, I’m “And rem em ber this, Mr. Hollo way,” the saleswom an continued am iably, as she laid a slender hand upon J. P .’s desk, “you’ll again be setting the pace. The first to recognize a good proposition. Never let it be said, ‘J. P. Holloway overlooked a good bargain.’ ” W hereupon they laughed heartily. After a m om ent’s pause, J. P. turned to Mrs. Holloway and said hesitantly. “You know M artha, we’ve had our old car some tim e. . . .” he m ade a slight gesture with his free hand—“it’s in good condi tion now th at I’ve had it overhauled —yet, one cannot tell about those old models. Why, just the other day, John Fetters was telling about his old car’s stalling in the noon- hour traffic on Fifth and Vine. We wouldn’t w ant that to happen to us —would we—dear?” Mrs. Holloway considered him sol emnly. “But Jam es,” she began, “you said you were not interested in a new car—” “Oh, I know, I know,” he protest ed in alarm . “I wasn’t-—th at is, until I heard this offer Miss Jen kins has m ade. And you should know that I never let a good propo sition slip through m y fingers. No, sir, not J. P. Holloway.” He then turned and sm iled at the saleswom an, a warm , intim ate smile. Then pm “I’ve heard so m uch about you and your rapid advance in the busi ness world, that it’s really quite a pleasure. ...” glad you brought that up.” She hesitated to ash her cigarette and, in doing so, seem ed to be concen trating on the proper clauses to use, as she continued, “Now in the event you are not completely satisfied, the m anagem ent will gladly refund your money and return the car to the factory. Isn’t that fair enough, Mr. Holloway?” “Oh, yes, quite fair,” he said, through the puff of cigar smoke, as he resum ed reading of the typed sheets. They seem ed all in order, he thought. Though the thought of a new car was som ewhat new to him, yet, this seem ed to be such a good investm ent, in fact—too good to pass up. Why, he’d be getting the jum p on the boys at..the club, who were thinking and talking about getting their new cars next month. Next month! Why he’d have his within seven days. . . . '"IpHERE was a brief hesitation, and then he said, “Sounds all right. But—” Miss Jenkins broke in, “I can readily understand, Mr. Holloway, a m an of your intelligence will be suspicious of an investm ent of this nature. And well you m ight be. Yet, I can assure you—you’ll be pat ting yourself on the back within the next ten days.” J. P .’s eyes wandered across to M rs. ’Holloway for her approval. No comment. B I “LOVEST THOU ME” a r ISTTULLY Qinfts grave insi9ent voice Is borne across the centuries, and we Who hear mutt answer, and muit make a choice: "Loveftthoume?" "Yea, Lord, we love Thee," quick we make reply. Then— "Feed my sheep,” He says, and clear and plain Along die ether ways of earth and sky The voice sounds out again: "Loveft thou me?” He-queStions us, O friends, And may we answer truthfully today: "Yea1Lotd," for all eternity depends On what we say. fS ia c e tA foU fS ic a re // continued, “To whom should I m ake this check out, M iss Jenkins?” he asked, as he fingered rapidly through his checkbook. . “Jam es,” M rs. Holloway broke in, "perhaps we better not be too hasty. Supposing we talk this over this evening, and M iss Jenkins”— she nodded in the saleswom an’s direction—“can drop in tomorrow and get your final decision.” Turn ing quickly to Miss Jenkins, she added, “I’m sure that’s perfectly all right with you!” A shadow darkened the sales woman’s eyes. She glanced at J. P. and then back to Mrs. Holloway. “W-well, I—” and stopped. Mrs. Holloway sm iled gently. “I knew you’d understand,” she said, and then quickly rose to open the door for the som ewhat bewildered saleswoman. J. P. chewed at his freshly lit cigar furiously. “But M artha,” he burst out, “you—you don’t seem to understand. I w ant to buy that car —now—not tom orrow or next week or next Christm as—” “Have you m ade the check out, Jam es?” she asked calmly. “And just w hat has that got to do with you running this—this wom an out of here. I certainly intend to m ake it out. And furtherm ore—” “Yes,” she countered, “you’re go ing to m ake it out, Jam es. But not to her! Instead to your son.” J. P . choked for a m om ent. “I— I told you,” he flared, “I was not going to send him one cent, and I m eant just that!” He tapped nerv ously on the desk with his forefinger. “Any m an with the intelligence he’s supposed to have, letting some silly woman come along and m ake a complete fool of him . . . Well,”— he groaned—“it’s som etim es diffi cult for m e to believe, he’s m y son.” M rs. Holloway sm iled. “But Jam es, you’ve just proved beyond any doubt that he is your son.” J. P. gave her a blank look. “Just w hat do you m ean by that?” She paused. “It took m e four days to inquire arpund and locate the right woman. It wasn’t easy. In fact, I w asn’t sure until yester day.” J. P. grunted, a deep frown puck ering his forehead. “I certainly don’t follow you. F irst, you stop m e from buying a new car; now you’re talking in riddles.” He brushed the ashes frcm 'his vest un consciously, then added, “Would you m ind explaining just what this is all about?” She nodded. "No, I wouldn’t mind. In fact, I’ve looked forward to it.” “All right, all right. I’m wait ing,” he urged. “Just this: Your son fell for a charm ing woman with a smooth sales talk; so did you. Those sheets of paper in her briefcase aren’t worth the paper they’re w ritten on. She’s a phoney; so was Jim m y’s friend. When I was introduced to her, she apparently didn’t recog nize m y nam e, but I knew hers. She’s the woman who swindled your son.” / SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS / % j o i i t h J u f U e f d a t i f e J b a y l i m e f Jfanddome ^Jwo-JPiecef fof JJaff I 8209 W 1737 12-20 Daytim e D ress.

C. I S A M E R IC A “ I L L - H O U S E D ” ? Ji you listen only to boosters for government housing, you will some tim e get the m iserable feeling that America is in a bad way for shel ter and housing. You will be made to feel that the situation is beyond remedy and nothing at all is being done about it. According to the "let-government-do-it” boys, if we don’t start throwing billions of tax dollars around for housing projects, then the whole population is at once ill-housed. Record of Industry While the year 1947 did not quite reach the peak of our building boom in 1925, it is estim ated that 825,000 new homes were built. One family out of every 40 got a new house in 1947. That is an excellent record! The Bureau of Census has reported that 93.2 per cent of all city houses are in satisfactory repair, compared to 88.6 per cent in 1940. Our Ameri can housing is steadily improving, despite the many difficulties that have been placed in the way. One of these problems facing private building is government ac tivity in house construction. Many government projects put up so far are said to have been built because costs were too high for the citizens to undertake them. Yet, because ffie government is willing to pay these sam e “high” costs, the costs are sure to rem ain high. In gov ernm ent housing, the difference be tween the rental income and the actual cost is simply passed on to the taxpayer. The government can’t work m iracles, but it can levy taxes. Slum ClearanceIf it is the object of federal housing legislation to clear away slums,' then I say let communities in which these poor conditions exist clean up their bad sections. Some cities have already put slum clearance programs into effect, without calling on Congress for legislation. Our local governments can do much to stimulate building. Besides requir ing property owners to meet good housing standards, they can also eliminate "horse-and-buggy” build ing codes that keep costs high. To assume that Congress, with a public housing bill, can clear away slums, is taking a phony position. There will always be some older and less expensive housing, no m at ter how much we m ay build. But if you take charge of the folks with very low incomes and put them in palaces, the rest will be paving the bill for it. Then who gets the pre mium? This is a beautiful way to- get-more-for-doing-less! You see, the fellow who earns less is better off! What Kon Can Do A public housing bill could in no way relieve the housing shortage. Certainly, this is not the time for the government to come in and bid up prices of the building materials that are available. Right now, a government housing program would bring no additional skilled labor in to the industry, but would simply take the labor that already works for private builders. Do you think these men would produce any more housing, working for the govern ment?If you want to add to inflation and make it more difficult for private housing to go up; if you want to pay your share of multi-billion dollar expenditures; if you want to risk these experiments while Euro pean recovery is costing us bil lions; if you want a federal bureau to control 10 per cent of our hous ing and keep building prices high; if you want to create a giant bu reau for political purposes—then you’re for public housing. But the only sane thing to do is to ask your Congressman to oppose public hous ing bills. In central Louisiana lies the beau tiful, rugged Kiskatchie country. The has always been game country, and of late years it ha9 been taken over by the government. Many square miles of it now constitute the Kiskat- chie national forest. This area has a wealth of upland game, including deer, turkeys, wildcats and other spe cies. There are some wild turkeys ranging the wilds within 20 or 25 miles of New Orleans. The wild tur key is a wary bird, and hunting for him calls for more patience, know ledge and skill than any other game bird. Forgotten Inventor Tom Davenport, a blacksmith, traded his brother’s horse for some cash to buy an electromagnet. He in vented the first battery-operated elec tric motor. A fire in the U. S. patent office, in December, 1836, destroyed the model. Unbeaten by disaster, Da venport built a second model and was awarded a patent in 1837. His inven tion inspired world-wide efforts along these lines. Today electric motors help power the world.

There are two automatic ways for the purchase of U.5. Savings Bonds, your firm^s Payroll Savings Plan, or, if self* employed, your bank’s Bond-a-Month Plan. U.S. Treaturu Department A new outdoor chrysanthemum, Bountiful, has been introduced by the University of Minnesota agricultural experiment station this year. Bcim- tiful is the 24th garden chrysr.nthe- mum developed and introduced by L. E. Longley, assistant professor of horticulture at the University of Min nesota, who is in charge of the chry santhemum breeding project. The Bountiful is an upright, spreading type, medium in height, bearing large trusses of nearly double flowers on long stems. Blossoms are carmine to oxblood in color.

S, Treasury Department Skinning a Mongoose The question of the correct plural of the word “mongoose” was solved by a gentleman who wanted a pair of these interesting and affectionate creatures. He wrote to a dealer: “Sir, please send me two mongeese.” He did not like the looks of this, tore up the paper and began again'. “Sir, please send me two mongooses." This version did not satisfy him any better than the first, so he wrote: “Sir, please send me a mongoose; and, by the way, send me another.” Microwaves Demonstrate Nature of Light and Radio M icrowaves, m ade famous by ra dar, provide the teacher with the sim plest m eans of dem onstrating the nature of light and radio waves, C L. Andrews, New York State Col lege for Teachers, told the conven tion of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Light waves are a hundredth of a hairs breadth long. To observe wave effects in light, the student m ust squint through a microscope eyepiece into some ingenious de vice. Radio w aves are a few thou sand feet long. To study their wave effects, a laboratory the size of the state of Texas with a roof 100 miles high is required. Wave effects of microwaves are man-sized, conveniently spread out on a laboratory table to be m eas ured with an ordinary ruler. With file aid of a hand-sized transm itter and a hand-sized intensity m eter, reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction and polarization of waves are to be dem onstrated. Fading of radio signals due to in terference between the direct wave and that reflected from the Ken- nelly-Heaviside layer is simulated with the transm itter and receiver a few feet apart and a wire screen used to represent the ionosphere. Weather Science to. Tame Destructive Ice and Haii There is a very good possibility that destructive hailstorm s m ay be elim inated in the future, and seri ous ice storm s m ay be “tam ed" in winter, according to snow-and-rain- m aklng scientists,. National Patent council reports. By introducing large quantities of Ice nuclei at and above the freez ing level in high cumulus clouds, hail particles would be unable to grow to any considerable size, ac cording to Vincent J. Shaefer, con sultant to "Project Cirrus,” a weather research program being conducted by the arm y signal corps and office of naval research. There is evidence that the seri ous ice storm s of last winter result ed from formation of rain in super cooled clouds, according to Shaefer. Under such conditions, it should have been possible to convert all this rain to snow. It is unlikely that the inconvenience and traffic trou ble produced by an increase in snowfall would be as great as that caused by icy streets, broken pow er, light and telephone wires, and the breakage of shade and fruit trees. Not all ice storm s can be related to supercooled clouds, in Shaefer’s opinion, but last winter’s storm s point out the im portance of know ing m ore about such situations and having facilities to cope with them when the situation could stand im provement. Safety Records “I’ve been driving a car tor five years and never had a wreck."“I’ve been “iriving a wreck five years and never had a car.” Uncle Sam Says Cotton Is Most Popular ' Of Mattress Materials Solid-Riled m attresses derive their comfort from the natural resiliency of their filling m aterials. The great est percentage of these are filled with cotton. The best ones are filled with long-fibered cotton which has been felted into layers. The cheaper ones—the ones into which short cot ton fibers are blown, or the plater m attress which has loose libers in the center with a few felted cott- n Jayers above and beneath - tend 10 mat down, developing lumps and depressions. High quality curled hair make.= a good m attress for anyone who pre fers a very firm sleep foundation. Horse tail and cattle tail hair are best, with horse m ane second. Hug hair is rather stiff and less resilient. Kapok, which comes from the pr>d of a tropical tree, makes a Si ft, I light, easy to handle m attress. How ever, kapok fiber is extremely per ishable and there is little demand I for kapok m attresses today. ■ Rubber m attresses are m arie ■ from the milk of rubber trees which I has been whipped into a foam-like j substance. Most of them are only I four inches thick and require a deeper than standard bedsprng. They are expensive and still too rii'w for cum ulative consumer retntior to be obtained. Horsepower Increases Total hoisepower available in the nation’s factories has climbed from about 50,452,00(1 in 1939 to a present high of 68,000.000. reports SKF in- l dustries. Scores of mechanized ' servants such as lift trucks, cranes and hoists that reduce handling of m aterials to a minimum have had hard physical labor irrevocably ob solete in industry. The handling of m aterials now accounts for only about 18 per cent of the industry’s production costs, as compared with 22 per cent a decade ago.

First Bolt Factory Used Bull for Power Source The m ain source of power in Am erica’s only bolt factory in 1839 was a bull, patiently walking the treadm ill which operated the forge bellows. Micah Rugg had invented a m achine to help in the m anufac ture of bolts. It was a crude thing, still involving plenty of hand work, but it was tiie beginning of a mighty industry in this country. For some years before 1839, Rugs had been the village blacksm ith for M arion, Conn. Using m ethods hand ed down through generations, he had m ade carriage bolts so success fully that he decided to give all his tim e to their m anufacture. He was a shrewd Connecticut Yankee, who realized that he m ust m ake in quan tities and sell cheaply to be success ful, and with this in mind he set about developing his machines. Two I heading m achines and, a year later, a threading m achine crowned his labors. Fortunately, in Stam ford, Conn., was an iron works. It was probably from here that Rugg bought his bars of puddled wrought iron, the only m etal considered usable for car riage bolts. It w asn't long before he was m aking SOO of these fasteners a ■ day. i X A FF LtJNIES Er ^ 4 Bird-Seed for Breakfast A WOMAN, m arried to a hypno tist, brought her husband to court, charging him with cruelty.

McKenna, President of Kennometal Inc., lalrobe, Penna. As an inventor of hard metal tools which increase the productivity of men in machine shops, mines, and construction work, and as a business man urlio founded and is now President of Kennametal Inc., in the small town of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, I believe that money is fust another tool —a measuring tool. How well it serves the needs of honest men depends upon the confidence which can be placed upon it, not only as a I air measure of value in day to day transactions, but also as a fairly con sistent measure of honest payment for work done or savings made, to be paid for in longer periods of time.Fortunately, Americans can restore the faith in the currency of our country by repealing promptly the laws prohibiting the use of gold money as a measure of value by American citizens. We have the neces sary gold coverage to do it. A bill introduced recently in Congress by Howard Buffett, of Nebraska, H. R. 5031 will do it. Otherwise, we face the prospect of constantly deteriorating money, rising prices, end eventual galloping inflation and loss of freedom by arbitrary controls. Look in an arithmetic book used before World War I and you’ll find the tables of measures of weight, of capacity and of distance are as valid now as they were 40 years ago. The pound avoirdupois is still 16 ounces; the gallon contains 4 quarts; the yard is still 36 inches. The Bureau of Standards at Washington has faith fully preserved the necessary meas ures for us to use. But the arithmetic book of 40 years ago also had a table entitled “Measures of Value” which has been sadly distorted by political pressures. There one may read “the unit of value is the dollar. Its stand ard weight in gold is 25.8 grains.” It also says that $4.8665 in American money is the value of an English sovereign; that the value of the French franc is $.193 and. that of the German mark is $.2385. The arith metic book concludes that since all these currencies are valued in gold it is “a simple and interesting cal culation for the student to determine the exchange value- of the English sovereign in French francs and so on.” Public faith in the arithm etic book’s statement that the dollar was 25.8 grains of gold rested upon the long experience of Americans for 140 years that they could always redeem their money on "demand in that ratio. Our only experience to the contrary in 140 years was during the Civil War, when the Confederate paper money became worthless, and the Greenbacks were subjected to a tem porary discount. After the Civil War. the majority of the Greenbacks were called in. and all U. S. monfey was made redeemable in gold or silver When the United States Governr ment deliberately abandoned the gold standard in 1934 and officially repu diated its solemn pledge to redeem its bonds and paper with gold, little attention was paid’ to the protests against this arbitrary action. ..We’d had honest money redeemable in gold on demand for so loqfe.'we’d forgotten there could be any !other kind in free America. In our school books we’d learned “Honesty is the best policy.” Now 15 years latek the evil consequences of this dishonor able act are beginning to make them selves felt. The common citizen is alarmed at the steady expansion of bureaucracy and militarism. He notes more and more deductions froirrfbis pay check to defray the costs <Jf.'gOV- ernment. The schoolteacher, atiqve all persons! should -be able tfc* show us the plain truth. >'■“ ’’If they do not, they will find their moderate salaries deteriorating in purchasing power faster every year and the pension nlans by which our citizens have tried to protect the schoolteachers, whom we learn to honor from childhood, will be paid eventually in money of very little value to them. A bill H. R. 5031, has been introduced in Congress by the Hon. Howard Buffett of Nebraska which would fix the value of the dollar as its present official rate of $35 an ounce of gold. We cannot rectify the wrong done to citizens in 1934 who were required by a law to turn in all gold and gold coins and receive $20 in paper money for each ounce turned in, or for each $20 gold piece. Shortly thereafter, when the gold was in the Treasury it was ad vanced in value to $35 an ounce. But we can stop further devaluation by- returning to the redeemable gold coin standard of money now. Fortu nately we have in the Treasury 23.6 billions of dollars of gold based upon $35 an ounce. Our Federal Reserve Notes have over 50% gold backing which is plenty to support redeem able gold money; it is now required to be 25% and a proposed bill may make it higher, say 40%. It has been as low as 30% in the 1920’s when gold was freely exchanged for our paper money on demand. The teacher of history may teach the truth in regard to the experience that not once in the troubled history of the world has paper succeeded as a substitute for money of intrinsic value. The teacher may recount the experiences under Roman Emperors in calling in the money and issuing lighter coins stamped the same value; or of debasing the coins by adding more base metal The teacher may tell of the Mississippi Bubble spon sored by John Law in 1720 in France; of monetary' quacks in France before and during the French Revolution: of the apparently reasonable paper money inflation based upon the value of the land seized from the Church and from the nobility during the Revolution but how, like all paper money schemes, it resulted in chaos and eventual repudation. In Ameri can bistory they may tell about the brave stand against paper money by Andrew Jackson, who pointed out that it defrauded the common man. They may tell of Sherman’s coura geous words in the 1870’s. “the way to resume is to resume.” They may note that in recent years the first moves of-Mussolini, Hitler and Lenin were to prohibit the use of gold and gold coins by citizens. They may show the close connection between human freedom and gold redeemable money. They may note Lenin’s rem ark that the best way to take over a country js to encourage printing press money in it first. These and other studies caused me to write tbe following lines. “PAPER MONEY" “Best tool of tyrants,” Lenin said. “Debauch their money, then step in Coordination’s in the head Disrupt, their ways, make it a sin to bargain free. When Terror rules Our Agents rise, control those fools. Voltaire had said in sixty-nine, “Relax! Can ruin come to fertile France For sixty years then ruled by Quacks?" Like those today who'd take the chance He little knew what they were doing He little knew the trouble brewing. Schoolteachers, above all, should teach respect for the eternal truths.

'WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS- Western Allies Place Berlin Issue Before U.N. as Negotiations Fail; Two Unions Barred From A-Plants -By B ill Scboentgen, W N U StafiF W riter- (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions arc expressed in these colnmns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily ot this newspaper.) ‘BLACK FURY’: P eace T h r e a t There was no w ar in sight, yet the East-W est situation was starkly dan gerous. It was dangerous for the United States, G reat Britain, France and Russia—and for the United Nations which now had to thrust its hands into the tangled skein of diplom atic threads and try to straighten out the snarls. PRACTICALLY no optimism ex isted am ong U. N. delegations in Paris. There was no reason for any. The United States, Britain and France had broken off negotiations with Russia over blockaded Berlin and referred the issue to the U. N. security council as a threat to peace. No hint of appeasem ent appeared in the western nations’ attitude. They said they would reserve to themselves the full right to take whatever m easures were necessary to m aintain their position in Berlin while referring the case.to the U. N. BRITISH FOREIGN Secretary E rnest Bevin told the U. N. general assem bly that Russia would be to blam e if a "black fury,” the incal culable disaster of atom ic w ar," strikes the world. Im m ediate cause of this inflamed "condition in Europe was the blatant bad faith exercised by the Soviets during the 58-day series of talks in Moscow between the three western am bassadors and Stalin and Molo tov. After the three ambassadors, Smith of the U. S., Roberts of Eng land and Chataigneau of France, had left the Soviet capital the west ern allies made public a 24,000-word “white paper” charging the Rus sians with welching on a secret agreement by Stalin to lift the Ber lin blockade. WHEN THE western nations dis- cuvered the disillusioning fact that Russia was literally trying to pull a fast one in order to gain control of Berlin, further direct negotiation was patently useless. Thus, the is sue was turned over to the security council. Not that anyone hoped the security council would be able to take any effective action. The Russian veto probably would nullify any efforts it m ight make. MOTIVES: R u ssia n W ashington believes the crisis centering in Berlin will continue at fever pitch at least until next spring —provided it does not explode into total w ar before then. It is a bad outlook, of course, from the U. S. viewpoint.- But for the Russians the coming six months loom as a golden opportunity to ex pand their power in Europe and throughout the world. THEY WILL be able to do this, they believe, because American ef forts and sentim ent will be divided and weakened by the election cam paign. Official Soviet attitude is that American leaders will be so im m ersed in domestic affairs that they will be able to give only a fraction Futility Unlimited These are the three western am bassadors to Russia who en gaged in six weeks of rigorous but unavailing diplomatic fenc ing with Soviet Foreign M inister V. M. Molotov on the subject of Germany and the Berlin block ade. They were able to accom plish nothing and finally left Mos cow to report to the heads of their respective governments. Left to right are: Yves Chataigneau, F rance; W alter Bedell Smith, U. S., and F rank Roberts, G reat Britain. Bill Gollector Russia, the only nation that has not closed its lend-lease account with the U. S., has been asked to pay up pronto. The state departm ent, in a new note, called upon the Soviets to re sume negotiations for settling its long overdue lend-lease account of 11 billion dollars. News of the action was kept se cret for two weeks for fear of up setting the delicate Berlin discus sions. of their tim e to consideration of in ternational developments. That’s why the Russians are try ing to shoot the works now. It is why they saw fit to m ake the virtu ally impossible dem and for control of all traffic—land, air and w ater— between Berlin and western Ger m any as one of the conditions for lifting the blockade which has throttled the Germ an capital since June. WHAT IS IT the Russians want so badly that they are willing to risk an atom ic w ar to get? Briefly, they w ant to get the U. S. out of Europe, and that m eans nothing else but that they w ant to control Europe themselves. The Kremlin, some tim e ago, re jected a proposal that Russia and the w estern allies stabilize their m ilitary and political positions roughly along the lines that existed im m ediately after the war. ACCORDING TO the Russian plan for domination of Europe, that ar rangem ent would be no good be cause the Soviets fear the W est would gain and they would lose too m uch. With Am erican help, w estern Eu rope could consolidate and strength en its position and possibly prosper to the extent that Russia’s situation in the E ast would be endangered. Moreover, the Soviet satellites, influ enced by a free and thriving West, would be difficult to control. IN THE RUSSIAN m ind it fol lows, then, that Am erica m ust be driven out, the European recovery program destroyed and the whole of Europe reduced to such a state of disorder and poverty that it would be unable to resist Russian de mands. — ANYTHING NEW—Cooler Crisis HOTTEST QUESTION of the m onth in Washington for a while was not “Who will win the elec tion?” It was not “Will we get into w ar?” It was a question of who ordered 96 gleaming, new 1948 model re frigerators installed in the offices of every one of the United States senators. Government workers were busily engaged in clamping the refriger ators to the office floors (at an esti m ated cost of well above $10,000) before anybody thought to ask who had conceived this ingenious scheme. THE PROJECT called for mov ing refrigerators into the offices of senators who never before had had them and putting new ones into those senatorial sanctum s that al ready were equipped with old ones. It was a clear case of higher standards of living for solons. Senate appropriations com mittee staff-m em bers denied they had ap proved any appropriation for sena torial refrigerators, said further m ore that there was no record of any such appropriation. RANKING NEXT to the riddle of who put the refrigerators there was the question of why a senator should need a refrigerator in the first place. Somebody said m aybe they were intended to replace the pigeonhole as convenient spots to keep legisla tion proposed by the President on ice. NO ATOMS: T w o U n io n s M orally afraid of skulduggery at the atom ic crossroads, the govern m ent has acted, to bar uniohs whose officers refuse to take the non-Com- m unist oath from its atom bomb plants. SPECIFICALLY, the atomic en ergy commission issued an order telling two CIO unions to keep out of atom ic installations — the CIO United E lectric W orkers and the CIO United Public W orkers. The action cam e on the heels of congressional charges that a net work of Soviet spy rings tried dur ing the w ar to dig up atom ic se crets. Also, the atom ic energy commis sion said, other unions from now on will be recognized officially as qual ified to work in atom plants only if they can qualify for certification by the national labor relations board. Said David E . Lilienthal, chair m an of the commission, all atom ic energy facilities m ust be operated “in a m anner best calculated to as sure that those who participate in the program are loyal to the United States. ACTUALLY, UNION activity in all atomic plants, with the excep tion of the one at Oak Ridge, has been curtailed sharply since the atomic bomb project w as launched. Nevertheless a num ber of unions have tried to keep active in the hope that the curbs on union organi zational work would be eased in the future. A congressional comm ittee had heard testimony from a self-de- scribed form er Communist that the United Electrical W orkers was “the largest Communist - dominated or ganization in the United States.” Rose Bushed No one has yet counted up all the “ Tokyo Roses,” but it seems like there’s one behind every bush. L atest of these is Califor nia-born M rs. Iva Togury D’Aqui no, whom the U. S. governm ent charges with being one of Japan’s m ost ardent w artim e radio propa gandists. She was brought here to stand trial for treason. WHIZ: R o c k e t P la n e It wasn’t the sort of subject that Stuart Symington cared to be very specific about, but the air secretary did hint in an Air Force/association speech that the U. S. X-I rocket-pow ered research plane m ight have blasted through the air at a speed of from 860 to 1,000 m iles an hour. SYMINGTON MADE this star tling semi-disclosure in an off-hand m anner. Enum erating achieve m ents by the air force during the past year, he m ade mention of “ an airplane flying hundreds of miles faster than the speed of sound, which is 700 m iles per hour at sea level.” AS ORIGINALLY designed, the X-I was supposed to reach a speed of 1,107 m iles an hour at 40,000 feet altitude and 1,700 m iles an hour at 80,000 feet. AS FAR AS is known, only two X-I type planes now are in opera tion by the government—one by the air force and the other by the na tional advisory committee for aero nautics. Five other X-I models are on or der, and a new and drastically dif ferent design, the X-4, is awaiting trial flight. BIG LIFT: T o B e r lin Despite the sm ug Russian belief that Berlin could not he supplied from the air, the Am erican air lift to the blockaded G erm an capita] has been spectacularly successful. DURING THE first 90 days of the great aerial portage American transport planes flew m ore than 200,000 tons of food, fuel and m edi cine into Berlin since the Soviets clam ped on their blockade in mid- June. Air force headquarters at Wies baden said its planes had flown m ore than 15 million m iles, through good w eather and bad, along the narrow air corridors from the west ern zone of Germ ahy to keep the heart of Berlin’s isolated western sector beating. IN THE FIRST 90 days 28,846 flights were m ade, with the air cargo including 125,608 tons of coal, 68,142 tons of food and 7,748 tons of other necessary item s. A typical 24-hour period in the ail lift has about 400 flights carrying m ore than 3,000 tons of supplies into the besieged city. EXPORTS: U p o r D o w n ? Predictions by the departm ent of agriculture that U. S. grain exports during the current crop year m ay top last year’s record by nearly four million tons was expected to give rise to a cabinet tiff over how much grain should be shipped over seas. There are two schools of thought. Charles F . Brannon, secretary ol agriculture, favors increasing ex ports to prevent possible surpluses in the U. S. that m ight lead to an expensive price support program . SECRETARY OF Commerce Charles W. Sawyer, on the other hand, insists that grain shipments should be cut to a m inim um in or der to keep food prices down in this country. He argues, also, that Eu- rope would be better off to use its dollars for industrial m achinery rather than food. According to the agriculture de partm ent, the world’s big exporting countries probably will have about 10 per cent m ore grain to spare this year than in 1947-48 when exports topped 34.6 million tons. THE DEPARTMENT added that the U. S. “is again likely to pro vide nearly half of the total world trade.” Last year the United States ex ported slightly m ore than 15 million tons—nearly 44 per cent of all the grain exported. PEARY: L e ft a N o te A United States expedition to the Arctic last sum m er found documents left there in ‘1905 by R ear Adm. Robert E. Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, a recent state depart m ent announcement has disclosed. The brief report contained no ex planatory details. It said: “As is usual on northern expeditions, Peary’s notes found in the cairn were replaced by appropriate docu m ents.’' Washington Di&eSu Will Stratovision Arrive? They're Working on It Now B y B A U K H A G E News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—“Is television here to stay?” T hat has been the favorite crack in AM (regular broadcasting) circles Ior som e tim e. Now it’s been displaced by another: “Will stratovision arrive?” . If it doesn’t, say the enthusiastic startospherio prom oters, millions of people in rural areas will be unable to receive television program s for years, if ever. BAUKHAGE W hat is “it” ? ^ “ The stratovision system simply puts the antennae and television transm itter in an ariplane flying in lazy circles above tie earth,” they explain, “and the shortwave sent out from this airborne antennae blankets the earth’s sur face like a great inverted ice cream cone and covers an area 'approxi m ately 500 miles across.” Since television waves travel in a straight litie and not in high, leaping loops like long wave radio, their range is lim ited, just as hum an sight is lim ited. You can’t see nearly as far on a level city street as you can from the top Df a mountain. That parallel isn’t an exact one, but it’s a good rough comparison. So television waves have to travel on a special cable underneath the ground (co-axial cable), or else leap from one high tower to an other (microwave relay). And the farthest they can travel is some 35 to 50 miles. But stratovision waves come from a transmitter as high as the plane carrying the transm it ter can fly, 30,000 feet, we’U say. What about storms? Well the stratosplierites say they miss m ost of them at that height, and anyhow, they can use m ore than one equipped plane, so they can shift the point of transm ission of a program from one to the other and thus dodge the storm . They insist that they have al ready dem onstrated that this is possible, that they can deliver. I haven’t seen any of the recent tests so I don’t know. N aturally the oldtim ers (although the oldest Dldtimers in television are still pret ty new) are skeptical. After a test held recently in Zanesville, Ohio, for the benefit of newspaper and ra dio folk, m any were still skeptical. It was adm itted that conditions on the test day were not ideal by any m eans and it w as claim ed that there was interference from other stations which would be elim inated. Variety m agazine’s correspondent, a keen observer of radio, said: “Dem onstration proved that the higher the altitude, the clearer and m ore extensive the pick-up. For all practical purposes, though, the spe cific, physical certainty of the un derground co-axial or the thru-the- air m icrowave relay would seem to have the networking edge for the time being.” (“Be not the first by whom the new is tried. . . .” ) The backers of the new system , tVestinghouse Radio Stations, In corporated, think differently. Their request for a com m ercial license This is the experim ental strato vision station—a modified B-29, flying at an altitude of 25,000 feet. was turned down by the FCC last month but they expect require m ents to be altered. Glenn M artin, whose aircraft company thought enough of the idea to work out the developments of the aviation end said: “ Flying the transm itter is one of the greatest single ad vances in the history of televi sion.” I talked with one of the very earnest young m en who are at tem pting to convert the skeptics. He seem ed to have no doubts that the method equalled any other. In fact he thought that competitors would fight it because it was so good. The whole thing is a young m an’s idea. He is C. E. (Chili) Nobles, 30-year-old radar expert whose work in that field was a valuable w ar time contribution. He is a Texan (hence the nicknam e, I suppose) and the story is that the idea first struck him when he was flying a plane high above his home. As he ran over the various fig ures which were in the back of his mind, the num ber of miles his home was from the nearest big city, the altitude and the various other cal culations form ulae, logarithm s and assorted humorous m aterial which an electronic engineer toys with in stead of reciting lim ericks to him self to pass away the tim e, he sud denly thought: "If -I only had a television transm itter with m e, and m y folks had a set, and if I had some other planes for relays, they could get the sam e televi sion program s New York does.” “I suppose long hours of intense work on m ilitary rad ar had so crowded m y m ind with details of its operation that I looked for radar possibilities in everything I saw ,” the young stratovision creator said afterw ard. “Radio already had proven its adaptability and value for airplane com mimications and in navigational aids, including blind flying. Turning these facts over m entally, I concluded that Westing- house already had at hand basic engineering inform ation which seem ed to justify the ambitious plan.” He sold the idea to Westinghouse and Glenn M artin and they went IP C. E . Nobles, originator of the stratovision airborne television system , is shown at the twin video monitoring boards in the experi m ental stratovision plane. ahead and backed his extensive, not to say expensive, experim entation. I caught some of the enthusiasm which I know “Chili” m ust radiate from the young m an who sat across the table from m e explaining the drawings. “Think of what stratovision would m ean to the readers of your col um n,” he said. “We only asked for a license for one station but with m ore we could link up the Pacific and Atlantic coasts so that we could pick up Hollywood and New York studios (I don’t know why he left out Chi cago) with only eight planes flying 400 m iles apart. By adding six planes to the system to cover the Northwest and Southeast we could serve 78 per cent of the popula tion!” And once we got the rural televisers looking, I thought, what a lot of new m aterial would be put into the telecasts to say nothing of the greatly broadened m arket for television sets and advertising which would be created. The first.stratovision experim ents established the surprising fact that there were lots of television sets in areas which could not possibly be reached ordinarily (by co-axial ca ble or m icrowave). At the first call for response to the test pro gram s m any letters cam e from such areas. Probably am ateurs who had built their own sets, and perhaps erected their own anten nae on some high elevation. It would seem that the country is willing to try the Nobles experi m ent if it gets the chance.* * * The Russians, after claiming that not M arconi but a Russian invented wireless telegraphy, now are say ing that the electric bulb, the flash light, the transform er and electric welding all started in Russia.

In the year 1948, thanks to a Republican tax cut, Mr. Tru m an will save m ore. The President sat down with pa per and pencil the other day and figured that his job as president had paid him only $1 an hour—up until the GOP tax cut. He estim ated that, getting up early in the morning as he always does, he had averaged 4,200 hours a year on the job. After taxes and other heavy expenses of entertaining and travel, he saved $4,000 the first year and $4,200 the second—or about'one dollar an hour. However, In 1948, thanks to the Republican tax cut, his net income will be $12,000. “And I vetoed that hill,” . chuckled the President. Today Mr. Trum an is out on the hustings trying to break through his usual wall of bodyguards, servants and secretaries in order to show the people his hum an side. The truth is, that despite the steady stream of callers Trum an receives daily and the ream s w ritten about him, only a few close friends know the real m an inside the White House. Actually, he is a lonesome m an. Not m any people know, for in stance, that Trum an keeps two large anthologies of poems on a desk by his bedside and, before dropping off to sleep at night, likes to prop him self up in bed and read from the classics. His favorites are Shelley and Keats, but he can also recite at length from “Alice in W onderland.” One passage the President likes to quote is the Red Queen’s rem ark to Alice: “Now here, you see, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the sam e place.” Trum an also likes to read history —especially the biographies and au tobiographies of his predecessors— because, he told a friend, “It is m en who m ake history.” Historian Truman Trum an’s secret am bition is to write the history of his own admin istration, but it will have to w ait until his term is finished. “ There are tim es when I m ake up m y m ind I am going to do it and I start assem bling my thoughts,” he confided to a friend. “Then the pressure of work forces m e to drop it. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.” He complained that the public never knows the true history of a period until long after it is past and som etim es forgotten. “The trouble,” he grum bled, “is that people have to depend on Drew Pearson and the Alsop brothers for their inform ation.” As a boy the President used to crawl out of bed at 5 a. m . to prac tice on the piano for two hours, and he still gets up early. He has more im portant things to do now. Presidential Peeve President Truman's pet peeve is the way Senator Ferguson of Michigan has handled the former war investigating committee. trI built that committee into one of the finest on the bill,” the President complained bitterly to an associate.Since Ferguson has taken over, he made it into a garbage company.” Merry-Go-Round George Allen, ex-White House jester, is reported pulling backstage w ires to block the sale of the gov ernm ent’s Cleveland blast furnace to H enry Kaiser. George, a director of Republic Steel, perform ed one of the greatest political favors for Tru m an. He persuaded Eisenhower not to run for president. . . . Joe Jacobs, a career m an, will be new U.

The Republican national committee has hired F red McLaughlin, high- powered Boston public-relations m an, to m ake a political survey in the so-called border states. . . . CIO officials believe that Communist-con trolled and left-wing CIO unions will split off from the national organiza tion by the end of 1948 and form an all-left-wing third party labor move m ent. * • • Under the Dome Down-to-earth Army Chief of Staff Om ar Bradley isn’t the kind who will pull his rank—even on an enlisted m an.

V -L P h iIIip r INTOXICATED AUTO DRIVERS Another annual conference of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Commissioners has just been held and we never read its speeches and conclusions without feeling that old tim e vaudeville is back. This tim e the usual alarm over the souse at the auto wheel is voiced and the belief expressed that "chem ical tests be m ade to determ ine the degree of drunken ness of any m otorist arrested for, or suspected of, being intoxicated.” » W hat difference does it m ake? Is it okay if the driver of a high powered car is only slightly pickled? Is it an extenuating circum stance if he is only half drunk? Is there a fine line be tween roaring down a crowded street two-thirds intoxicated and 100 per cent cracked? *__ We cling to the childish notion that the wheel of a sedan, bus, beach wagon or truck is no place for an operator who is even partly stiff. And, while we are aw are that the courts are hard to convince, we sold the cause of safer traffic will never be aided by the discharge of wild drivers on a ruling that the shemical test revealed the m aniac wasn’t as drunk as he seemed. *__ The m otor vehicle commis sioners noted "difficulty proving reckless driving due to drunk enness and other factors” in the courts. Difficulty is an un derstatem ent, brother. But the politicians, the fixers and the smoothies in the profession of law will give their customary all-star p e rfo rm a n c e , even against a chem ical report. *__ And you will be surprised how m any judges will rule th at the lad who drove through the school zone in an alcoholic haze should be freed with a $5 fine and put back into heavy traffic with his breath still showing. *__ Motor vehicle commissioners, you am aze us. You know very well that there is no serious enforce m ent of m otor vehicle laws any where, that the highways are jam m ed with drivers with one or more arrests for drunkenness, that politicians leap to the rescue of the fricasseed operator with the speed of light and that too m any m otor vehicle com missioners, being po litical footballs them selves, express resentm ent only at annual conven tions. «__ The convention delegates also cam e out for m ore stringent operating license tests. This ac tion was also in the orthodox pattern. This routine has been followed ever since the “999” first frightened horses in the streets of Detroit. P ay no at tention. The prevailing tests wouldn’t prove a m an fit to op erate a scooter in a hack alley. Anybody is allowed to drive an auto who can wiggle his ears, give his full nam e correctly and prom ise not to drive while blindfolded. There was never a tim e in his tory when there were so m any auto drivers loose who have never been told it was wrong to pass cars on the right side, turn com ers inside the center of intersections, take sharp turns at 50 m iles per hour, beat the traffic light and re gard the white line as wholly fic tional. Back to your corners, com m issioners! And how about a chem ical test to determ ine sincerity in the w ar against m urder on the broad highways everywhere? (You, too, judge!) * * * New Car C om plaints Tlie Auto Club of New York says it is deluged with complaints about new model automobiles. Buyers charge that they are hard to han dle and park, that the business of building fenders and lam ps all into one sheet of m etal m ake repairs exhorbitant, that the bum pers are useless and that m any so-called in novations are a pain in the neck. *__ Well, it seem s to this depart m ent, too, that the car builders have a lot to answer for. We have seen some models on which the “bum pers” could be used only in jest. They are so close to the body that, by the tim e the bum per is hit, the rest of the car has been wrecked. * • * D ram a C ritics D isagree "Even a little bit of Morey Amsterdam would be quite a lot in the happiest of circumstances.

A program of better care and better feeding for sows and their litters, introduced on his farm s in the fall of 1947, already has paid dividends, O’Bryan reports. W ith 100 litters last spring, he raised as m uch pork as he form erly raised from 150. E arly in the gestation period sows were given a special ration of 80 per cent oats, 5 per cent m eat scrap, 4 per cent pelletized m ilk product and the balance either com or wheat. Sows were sprayed and washed thoroughly prior to farrow ing. Clean pens and a brooder for the little pigs also w ere provided. The sow’s ration w as changed when the pigs w ere about two weeks old, cutting down oats to about 40 per cent and increasing portions of w heat or com . At less than two weeks of age little pigs w ere started creep feed ing in a low pan or trough. Their ration consisted of 80 per cent oats, 4 per cent m eat scrap, 8 per cent pelletized m ilk product and the bal ance course wheat. Pans and troughs were washed and disinfected regu larly. As the little pigs grow, oats In the ration is reduced while com or w heat is increased to about 70 to 80 per cent. Sum m arizing the program , O’Bryan m aintains th at he had m uch strong er pigs a t birth, with earlier, faster and cheaper gains and a m arked re- duction in m ortality. ‘Police Force’ iSpooocc® _0 Plenty of organic m atter is a good “police force” for ridding soil of bacteria th at cause diseases of growing crops. R. C. Thomas, asso ciate pathologist of the Ohio agri cultural experim ent station, esti m ates th at 50 million bacteria live in a single ounce of soil. Some of these are beneficial. Others are harm ful to crops. The good kind rot the organic m atter and release plant nutrients to build a fertile soil. The harm ful kind cause plant disease. Adding organic m atter to soil will help increase the good kind and at the sam e tim e cut down the harm ful bacteria population. Adding organ ic m atter m akes the soil a better hom e for the good kind so they flourish and grow. E xtracts from organic m atter contain viruses that m ake disease - causing bacteria harm less to plants. A good soil m anagem ent program will increase the soil’s organic m at te r supply and help free the land of disease-causing bacteria. Stinking Smut Remains Major Wheat Disease Bunt or stinking sm ut rem ains a m ajor w heat disease even though science knows how to control it, dem onstrating the need for continual vigilance in preventive m easures. P lant scientists recom m end use of resistant varieties combined with treatm ent of the seed with a reli able fungicide.

C. Xke- FICTIONCotnev T H E E N D O F T H E L IN E By CHARLES S. PARK an open safe. The other; a dark haired girl in.a red dress. She was counting out money to a couple of tourists. Todd knew that under the counter and in the safe there were racks of silver and bills of all denominations. He hoped his nerve would hold up, to provide support yet a little longer as he continued down the block. He crossed a street and entered a sm all park. He seated him self on a bench. The streets were gradually emp tying. A police prowl car eased quietly by and its occupants turned their heads to look at him . He stared back. Yet at the sam e tim e he felt a coldness around his heart. Two border patrolm en passed in a " .... : X o - Nogales was the end of the line for John Todd, and he arrived there in a blare of glory the citizenry would never forget. Nogales, end of the line. When the three-car train pulled slowly alongside the tile-roofed, stone depot building and stopped, John Todd moved tiredly from his seat and from the car. Within him was a strange depression; a feeling that for him, too, this was “ the end of the line.” He walked away' from the tracks, a tall figure in big city dress that hung on his thin fram e poorly. He followed the traffic and m ade his way through the gate in the Internation al Fence. Long legs carried him past the slower moving, dark-clad M exican women returning from their m arketing in Arizona stores. He had seen them before. He was not curious. But he envied them the comfort of the homes they would go to, though they m ight be only mud huts, with roofs that leaked and windows patched against the weather. He carried no luggage, so the M exican customs m en barely glanced his way, and then nodded him through. He knew where he was going; this was all a part of the plan. A plan only half-formed, per haps, but one that had been long in the back of his mind. AU he needed to carry it out was nerve. Desperation was taking care of that. His hands had a new trem or. To still it he shoved them deep into the pockets of his slack coat. Fum bling there, they found pipe and to bacco. He stopped, stepped out of the moving pedestrian traffic into the vestibule of a curio store, load ed and lit up. With the pipe clenched between his teeth and drawing well, he glanced over the passersby. It was funny, he was always looking for a fam iliar face, yet even friends were of no use now. He knew what he had to do and at last, his mind was m ade up. There was even more purpose in his stride as he left his tem porary shelter and headed across the street to the ticket office of the M exican railroad. He was a young m an, yet hollow cheeks and graying, tem ples m ade him appear m uch older. He looked as sick as he was. Well, South Mexico was his last hope, just as far south as he could get. They said there was health to be had ill the hot, high clim ates. But it was here in Nogales that the trail branched. Even in Mexico, where it was said one could live so big on so little, money would be necessary. Almost his last cent went for the railroad passage, but he knew where there was m ore for the taking. So, with the ticket safe ly in an inner pocket, he moved out into the Sonora sunset, found a place to sit, to rest and to wait, and gave him self up to his own bitter thoughts. Somewhat later he looked up to find a swift-coming night had fallen. He v.-as worried that perhaps he had dallied too long. He pulled roughly away from a sm all and very dirty shine boy who tugged at his sleeve. He walked across the street, back into the United States, and moved by the border officials with his new assurance to hurry down the m ain street of the little Arizona border town. He glanced into darkened store windows, looked into shadows, testing and feeling the night and the tenor of the town with his senses. He walked past an open door; the neatly lettered sign that hung above it read: “Money Exchange.” His heart action quickened as he looked inside. The room was divided by a high counter. Behind were two objects that called for his attention. One; Only instinctive reaction made Todd stick out a long leg and trip him up. The sam e motivation caused him to dive forw ard onto the prostrate figure, to scram ble for the little gun and w rench it from tem porarily lim p fingers. The heavy blow delivered to the base of ths m an’s skull with the butt of the pistol was a part of the sam e pat tern. It was then that realization caught up with Todd. He arose slowly, feel ing the pain in his chest a sudden, live thing. He m oved back to the counter; leaned against it. The room becam e a whirling wheel, and he its hub. He never heard the girl speak into the telephone. The shriek of a si ren was only a high note piercing the roaring in his ears. But he did f t The room becam e a. whirling wheel, and he its hub. jeep and he was conscious of their scrutiny. Down the street the lights in the m oney exchange went dim. He rose from the bench an d . stepped out briskly. The prowl car had turned the corner, the patrol jeep w as out of sight. Todd judged the distance to the International Line; noticed with satisfaction that the officials had all m oved inside their guard house. A quick move, a fast sprint, and the business would be done. Once across the line he could eas ily lose him self am ong the shadows between the adobe buildings, and as easily stay hidden until train tim e. 'T'U RN IN G abruptly into the Money Exchange, he saw the girl in the red dress coming tow ard the coun ter with a tray of money from the safe. H er eyes were very wide, very brown, and she was very pale. In front of the counter, his back toward Todd, there stood a m an. A tardy customer, perhaps, but des peration told Todd it was too late now to back out. He gripped the pipe in his pocket and poked the stem of it against the cloth convincingly. He curbed the fine trem or that was coming back to his fingers and spoke in a voice m ade harsh and sharp by the urgency of the m oment. “P ut that down and raise your hands.” The m an at the counter jerked around. His hand stabbed out. Todd felt a tearing, ripping sensation high in his chest even as the shrill bark of a sm all caliber pistol hit his ears. In a continued motion, the m an broke into a dash for the door. Viyyy-:-: Grace Noll Crowell HE day will bring some lovely thing, I say it over each new daws, "Some gay, adventurous thing to hold Againft my heart when it is gone." And so I rise, and go to meet The day with wings upon my feet. I come upon it unaware, Some sudden beauty without name: A snatch of song, a breath of pine, A poem lit with golden £ame; High tangled bird notes, keenly thinned, Like flying color on the wind. No day has ever failed me quite: Before the grayest day is done I find some misty, purple bloom, Or a late Iinf of crimson sun. Each nightl pause, remembering Some gay, adventurous, lovely thing. feel her nearness, the press of her body when she m oved around the counter and placed arm s about him to hold him erect. His knees were giving away. Except for her he would have fallen. He was aw are of other people in the room. But it was her voice to which he was listening—a soft, m ur m uring kind of a voice, full of com passion. He didn’t struggle when he felt the blackness coming on him. It w as better so. It w as better to go now, in the arm s of a lovely, sym pathetic stranger, than to hang on a few feeble m onths more- in a foreign land. Finally to die alone and unmourned. And how infinitely m uch better to go this way, clean. Life had given him the best of the deal, after all. The policemen looked down a t the still figure lying in the girl’s arm s, a t the ugly purple hole high in the bony, bared chest. One asked the room in general: “Who would have thought a sick old bum would have the guts to try to stop a hold-up with a pipe?” An enigm atic smile lay across the lips of the dead John Todd. That was his only answer. ■<r,i J&L. > IiH b v NANCY P E P P E R More M ealtime M enaces.

QgSREADING: Psalms God's Hand in History Lesson for October 24, 1918 Dr. Forem an CU PPO SE you were given a long flexible wire and were asked to arrange it on a pattern which would represent history, w hat would you do to it? Some people would cut that wire into little bits and let them fall in a pile like jackstraw s. Histo ry, they would say, is a m eaningless collection of dis connected events— it has no real pat tern. Som eone else would arrange the wire like a long arrow pointing upw ard; others would m ake it into an arrow pointing down w ard; these would be the pure op tim ists and pessim ists among histo rians. Others would arrange it in a series of up-and-down curves— history, they would say, some tim es goes up and sometM les down, but it never gets any where. Others again would m ake an imm ense circle, his tory goes around and around in cycles, repeating itself. Others still m ight take that wire and shape it into a kind of spiral, alm ost repeating itself but never quite, often seeming to go backward but actually m aking some progress, » * * G od’s C hosen P eo p le A GOOD deal of the Old Testa- m ent is taken up with history. Starting with Genesis and going through E sther, m ost of what you read is history. But it is not m ere chronicles, that is to say it is not a m ere listing of events. The historical parts of the Bible were w ritten by m en who had a theory of history. They would agree that the Golden Age is ahead of us, not behind. They would all agree that the most im portant figure in hum an history is not a hum an being at all, but God the Creator. They would all agree that his hand can be seen — if you look for it — in the events of m an’s existence here. And they all affirm that among all the nations of the earth there was one which could be called truly God’s chosen people, the little na tion called Israel, the people we know as the Jews. The whole of Hebrew history is a sort of serm on on this text: Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. The history of any na tion, ancient or m odern, would illustrate that text just as well; only the Israelite historians saw it niost clearly. They showed how, when their people followed God’s leading and his laws, they prospered; when they went their own stupid, selfish ways they suffered. * * * S om ehow G ood / ”)N E great lesson the Old Testa- v^ m en t history teaches is that God’s will is good, and that when m an defies and disobeys that will, he does it to his own destruction, but that God can bring good out of evil. People often act from bad mo tives; yet even the worst of mo tives God can overrule. David waded in blood to his throne, and he treated cruelly m any of his enemies. That was not good; yet God brought out of that a national independence and strength. David put Solomon on the throne because he was the son of his favorite wife; that was pure fa v o ritis m . Xet God brought good out of a choice which was selfish. When the Israelites were tem pted to fall for the cheap and nasty gods whose shrines filled the land, that was bad; but it gave the prophets their great opportunity to m ake perfectly clear the difference be. tween false and true religion. * • * T he V oice of G od U IS T O R Y is no bucket of ashes. If you have ears to listen, it is the voice of God. These ancient tales of a nation long since dead, that lived in all scarce 500 years, carry God’s voice to us today. The diseases which are fatal to a nation’s life are here de scribed; the foundations on which alone true national wel fare can be built are made quite plain. Up to now, all nations have per ished sooner or later. We can see some o fth em decaying in our own time. TSat is because no nation ever yet has built its life on God’s design. But the pattern is there, the lesson has been written. God still waits for a people who will learn his lesson in how to live.

In Alabama, the lowest age at which children m ay be employed was raised by the 1947 legislature from 14 to 16 years, except in domestic service or farm work. The work week for children who work after school was short ened from 48 to 40 hours.

In Illinois, a law passed in 1945 set ting 16 as the minimum work age becam e effective last year. Three states meanwhile took action in the relatively untouched area of regu lating child farm labor. Connecticut set 14 as the minimum age for farm em ployment and decreed a maxi m um 8-hour day and a 48-hour week. New York continued wartime legislation requiring 14 and 15 year old children to get perm its to work on farm s after school or during va cations. Ohio also tightened regula tions covering issuance of farm work certificates. SILER Funeral Home AND Flower Shop P h o n e 1 1 3 S . M a in S t M o c k sv iH e t ''h C .

K EA D th e 4 P S London Bridge Makes Trip To Serve Central Africa When enemy bombs and rockets rained havoc on Britain during the blitz, Londoners watched squads of workmen hastily erect two large tem porary bridges over the Thames. Had any of the main bridges been blown to bits, London's heavy traffic was to be diverted across these stop-gap roadways. A t war’s end, no traffic had ever crossed them. These bridges are to be re-erected as a link on the main highway run ning between Salisbury and Lusaka, the capitals of Southern and North ern Rhodesia, two land-locked terri tories in the heart of Africa. This vital route is now broken at the Ka- fue, some 35 miles south of Lusaka, where the river has to be crossed by terry. This bridge will be of importance in plans now being considered to in dustrialize the Rhodesias and to de velop the world’s largest known de posits of coal and one of the biggest sources of chrome in existence. Northern and Southern Rhodesia together are larger than the combin ed areas of Texas and Colorado. Their combined population of nearly 3,500,- 000 is, however, less than half that of the two U. S. states. PoIsoncus Snake Strikes Sniftly When the poisonous snake strikes, his mouth opens wide, so the upper and lower jaws are in a vertical line. The fangs point outward like two slightly curved lances. Several drops of venom are forced into the wound. AU this is accomplished within a fraction of a second. Two or three drops of poison at one time WiU be released by a large snake. The size of the injection varies with the object struck and the state of the reptile’s excitement. More poison is used in biting a man than a rabbit. VSTien the poison enters the body, part of it is rapidly absorbed into the blood stream by capUlary blood-vessels. The balance of the venom remains at the fang punctures until absorbed. Great swelling and discoloration quickly ap pear in the region of the bite. If the snake’s fangs puncture a vein or an artery the victim is almost certain to die, because the poison quickly reach es the brain, heart and other vital or gans. Whirling Dervishes Still Whirl The whirling dervishes of Turkey were a hardy lot. They banged their heads against oak trees, thrived on a diet ot broken glass, walked through beds of hot coals and came up smil ing—and spinning like a top. It was the Turkish -rejuvcnator, Mustapha KemaI Pasha, who drove the dervish es into their final tallspin. Sometime around 1920 he abolished the crumb ling caliphate, ordered women to drop their veils, and decreed the use of the Roman alphabet and western ’dress. The dervishes were ordered to go, but were determined to hang on, and many of them lost their necks in the process. But the dervish has not been entirely eradicated. Their habitat is the entire Moslem world, from North Africa through Asia Minor and Asia as far as India and China. Turkey and Persia have been their principal bailiwicks. Skinning a Mongoose The question of the correct plural of the word “mongoose” was solved by a gentleman who wanted a pair of these interesting and affectionate creatures. He wrote to a dealer: “Sir, please send me two mongeese.” He did not like the looks of this, tore up the paper and began again’. “Sir, please send me two mongooses.” This version did not satisfy him any better than the first, so he wrote: “Sir, please send me a mongoose; and, by the way, send me another.” Safety Records "I've been driving a car fur five /ears and never had a wreck.’’ “I’ve been driving a wreck five years and never had a car.” Uncle Sam Says Do you know the beat way to assure your children a fine education?

Jkekaysat An American’s Faith This year at the commencement 'exercises of Harding College a notable address was delivered. It w as no ordinary speech. The burden 'of its m essage was so signficant, and the appeal so earnest, that I wish the audience had been many tim es larger. I am therefore taking this method of passing to. you a portion of this solid and thoughtful address. It was m ade by Mr. Lam ar Flem ing, Jr., of Houston, Texas. "This historic responsibility is new to us. . . . But those who view accomplishments in the atomic laboratories and the development of other terrible m eans of destruc tion m ust recognize that no one on earth longer has the power to de cide whether he will live alone. That power of decision has passed .to those who are evil enough to . . . use terrible new weapons for their evil designs—unless mankind com bines to prevent them from so doing. Our Call from Destiny “If we accept that, being sons of God, we are brothers to all Man kind, and that we are the only , na tion strong enough to lead Man kind to combine for suppression of violence and recovery of Peace, we cannot reject the role to which our Destiny calls us. We will cherish the m emory of more placid days, when this responsibility was not upon its, but we cannot reject our Destiny. "We m ust enter this role in hu m ility, conscious of our shortcom ings and determ ined to overcome them to the best of our ability. We m ust search our souls. We m ust do m ore than conquer the resistance to truth which springs from our anim al instincts. We m ust chastise all who seek to inflame and prey upon our group grievances, greeds, and hatreds. We m ust rem ind our selves constantly that our duty of hum an brotherhood is no less to distant peoples . . . than to our neighbors in our home towns. Men of Good Will “We m ust realize that peace and well-being will not return to them nor rem ain with us unless we achieve the ability to work to gether in a brotherly and mutually helpful company, each placing the common good above the greeds and ambitions of any person, group, or nation. We m ust include . . . peo ples tem porarily prevented from co operation toward the common good and m ust pray for the day when their chains will be removed and they will be free to ioin our com pany. “Above all, we m ust require of this great undertaking that it fuitic'-' tion by the standards of millions of individual consciences, which are the communion of sons and daugh ters with their Spiritual F ather— not by group, party, or national ethics, in which conscience gives way to animal instincts, fears, a-vt passions of the herd, and responsi bility ;s spread so f'tin that no one fuels it as his own. This calls for a profound spiritual revival—in us, and in all men and women of good will. Well of Goodness ". . I have faith that all men and women everywhere have some thing in common between them, that is fundamentally good, and that time and great effort and pa tience will restore the m utual flow of this goodness and understanding between them , not merely in your lifetime but also in mine. . . . I have great faith that the well of goodness in the Americans of your generation will be full enough to sta rt the mutual flow.” surprise fur Momf Miss Smith, young Joey’s piano teacher, was having considerable trouble trying to get him to practice his exercises. Finally, turning to him in despair, she said, “Joe, don’t you want to grow up to be a great con cert pianist?” “Ah, no,” Joey spoke up. "These music lessons are just a waste of money. I’m going to be a prizefighter when I grow up. But I’m keeping it from Mom as a surprise.” Klskatchle N a tio n a l F o re st In central Louisiana lies the beau tiful, rugged Kiskatchie country. Th- has always been game country, and of late years it has been taken over by the government. Many square miles of it now constitute the Kiskat- chie national forest. This area has a wealth of upland game, including deer, turkeys, wildcats and other spe cies. There are some wild turkeys ranging the wilds within 20 or 25 miles of New Orleans. The wild tur key is a wary bird, and hunting for him calls for more patience, know ledge and skill than any other game bird. Forgotten Inventor Tom Davenport, a blacksmith traded his brother's horse for some cash to buy an electromagnet. He in vented the first battery-operated elec tric motor. A fire in the U. S. patent office, in December, 1836, destroyed the model. Unbeaten by disaster, Da venport built a second model and was awarded a patent in 1837. His inven tion inspired world-wide efforts along these lines. Today electric motors help power the world. Viking iWineIand1 Landing Placed in Massachusetts A possible location of the Viking “Wineland” was at the mouth of the M errim ack river in northern M as sachusetts, is the conclusion reached by Dr. John R. Swantonr Smith sonian institute, after an intensive study of the Icelandic sagas. Dr. Swanton brings to the identi fication of the Norse landings in North America about the year 1000 the experience of a lifetime in re constructing the trail of De Soto across the southern United States. Wineland was the southernm ost of the tem porary Norse settlem ents. The sagas leave little doubt that it was a well-wooded country where wild grapes were found and where there was an abundance of grain. Furtherm ore, the landing was in the mouth of some tidal river which, a little way inland, broadened into w hat was described as a lake. The mouth of the M errim ack, he found, checked better with the confusion of often conflicting data than any other site along the New England coast. Other Norse landings most probably were on the southern coast of Labra dor, where there is a general agree m ent of the topography with the confused descriptions. Car Demand Heaviest Although three out of every five fam ilies in Detroit already own automobiles, nearly half of the fam ilies in that city are planning to buy an automobile in the near future, according to a recent Detroit News survey. The survey, based on inter views with 13,000 persons represent ing various income groups, showed that the 50 per cent dem and for automobiles in that city com pares with a 28.2 per cent demand for radios, 22.3 per cent dem and for re frigerators and 13.9 per cent de m and Tor ranges. Weather Science to Tame Destructive Ice and Hail There is a very good possibility that destructive hailstorm s m ay be elim inated in Hie future, and seri ous ice storm s m ay be “tam ed” in winter, according to snow-and-rain- m aking scientists, National Patent council reports. By introducing large quantities of ice nuclei at and above the freez ing level in high cumulus clouds, hail particles would be unable to grow to any considerable size, ac cording to Vincent J. Shaefer, con sultant to “Project Cirrus,” a w eather research program being conducted by the arm y signal corps and office of naval research. There is evidence that the seri ous ice storm s of last winter result ed from form ation of rain in super cooled clouds, according to Shaefer. Under such conditions, it should have been possible to convert all this rain to snow. It is unlikely that the inconvenience and traffic trou ble produced by an increase in snowfall would be as great as that caused by icy street;, broken pow er, light and telephone wires, and the breakage of shade and fruit trees. Not all ice storm s can be related to supercooled clouds, in Shaefer’s opinion, but last winter’s storm s point out the im portance of know ing m ore about such situations and having facilities to cope with them when the situation could stand im provement.

The great est percentage of these are filled with cotton. The best ones are filled with long-fibered cotton which has been felted into layers. The cheaper ones—the ones into which short cot ton fibers are blown, or the plater m attress which has loose fibers in the center with a few felted cotton layers above and beneath—tend to m at down, developing lum ps and depressions. High quality curled hair m akes a good m attress for anyone who pre fers a very firm sleep foundation. Horse tail and cattle tail hair are best, with horse m ane second. Hog hair is rather stiff and less resilient. Kapok, which comes from the pod of a tropical tree, m akes a soft, Ught, easy to handle m attress. How ever, kapok fiber is extrem ely per ishable and there is little demand for kapok m attresses today. Rubber m attresses are made from the milk of rubber trees which has been whipped into a foam-like substance. Most of them are only four inches thick and require a deeper than standard bedspring. They are expensive and still too new for cumulative consumer reartinn- to be obtained.

R4 “If a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, be deceiveth himself.’'—Galatians 6:3, I believe many people try to spe cialize in smartness. They let the ‘■ago,” or tbe "I,” get the best of them. Thev feel too much their importance, and major on this. No donbt lots of people think thev are very smart, but other folks do not always see H thus. It may be a good and great gift to be witty, if it is used right, but when turnad into a channel to attract attention, to "show off,” to become popular, or to exalt self, then God is dis. pleased with it. Sucb witticism, such smartness, doesn’t make for real and trne greatness. No doubt some people think they are smart wheu they criticise tbe Bible. Tbis never reveals anything great about a man In fact it ra* veals his littleness. One sentence from some old patriarch, prophet or disciple means more than all the witty arguments such folks can put up again God’s Word It doesn’t require any smartness to be an ag nostic, atheist or Infidel. Jnst any fool can pose as sneb. "Oh,” you say. "'don't call any one a fool. Yon may be on dan gerous ground. Better be careful. Well, tbe Bible tells us that there are fools Perhaps tbe biggest fool on earth'Is mentioned In Psalm 53:1. “Tbe fool hath said in his heart. There Is no God.” I never class a man great, wise, intelligent, smart, nor revealing a wonderful mind nor extraordinary sense, who claims to disbelieve the Bible, or ats him self up as an atheist and infidel. God calls him a fool, and of conrse I have no right to deny that. Some people think they a re mighty smart when thev say, “I don't believe tn tbe Bible. Why it ic a book of contradictions, and written b ck in tbe ages when peo pte didn’t know much. It was written , b y uneducated people. Weak minded people believe in tbe Bible, and believe theae is a God.” To my opinion, dear sir, these grood and great men who wrote tbe Bible knew more In a minute, and bad more good common sense, than yon will have in a life time. You may think yon are s.nart, and you may have some folks laughing at your slighty remarks about the Bible and God, but rememoer the greatest and most reliable book of authority in all the world calls you a fool Yon think you are some thing, whereas, yon deceive your self and are notbing. However, for all of this yon shall be brought in to judgment. Soldiers of Genehis Khan Carried Dried Milk Ration To Marco Polo is attributed the description of a dried milk made by the Tartars during the 13th century. He reported that the soldiers of Genghis Khan were said to have carried dried milk as a part of their ration, according to Jack A. Wright in the Oregon State Agricidture bulletin. Next mention of dried milk In tab let form came in 1810. It was made by the French scientist, Nicolas Ap- pert, from milk concentrated slowly to a dough-like consistency in a cur rent of dry air. The first process utilized for manufacture on a com mercial scale was that invented by Grimwade, about 1853. The perfec tion of milk drying processes for commercial use dates back to about the same period, the last half of the 19th century, as does that of com mercially practicable processes of milk condensing. In most cases the inventors of processes for the one product were not unmindful of the possibilities Ofs the other. In the United States the first suc cessful dried milk manufactured on a commercial scale was malted milk, with this product placed on the market in 1887. This product also contained an extract of barley and wheat flour paste. Stowaway Pays An inspector boarding a streetcar was surprised to see the conductor sitting at ease smoking while a pas senger was collecting fares. “What does this mean?” he de manded. “You sitting there and a passenger doing your work!” “That’s all right,” said the con ductor, an ex-sailor; “he’s a stow away I found on board. He can’t pay his fare, so I’m making him work his passage.'' Business Before Pleasure The young lawyer had been de livering a long and tiresome dis sertation on the merits of his case when, noting an apparent lack of interest on the part.of the judge, he paused to ask, “Is it the pleasure of the court that I continue?” The judge heaved a sigh and re plied: “Pleasure, my dear sir, has long been out of the question, but you may proceed.” -MOTHER AtSO WONDERS The teacher was explaining to the class the meaning of the word “re cuperate.” “Now, Tommy,” she said to a small boy, “when your father has worked hard all day, he is tired and worn out. isn’t he?” “Yes, ma’am.” “Then, when night comes, and his work is over for the day, what does he do?” “That’s what mother wants to know,” Tommy explained. Blind as a Bat “Did you give the mayor my note?” a man asked of the mes senger. “Yes, sir, but there ain’t no use sendin’ that man any notes. He’s blind as a bat.” “Blind? How do you know? That’s news to me.” “Course he’s blind. Twice he asked me where my hat was, and there it was in plain sight on my head all the time. Yes. sir. he’s blind as a bat!” Lost and Found Clerk: “What’s the matter, little boy?” Little boy: “Please sir, have you seen a lady without a little boy who looks like me?” Unimpressed Soph: “Man is wonderful. He has learned to fly like a bird.” Frosh: “I won’t be impressed until he learns how to perch on a barbed wire fence." ' j NOTICE!

D u f f y , M a n a g e r This week, my discnssion deals with “Family Relationship” and* tbe important part it plays in get ting bene6ts payments under tbe Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program. There are thousands of persons drawing social security pay ments who have ne*er worked a day in covered employment—they are wiv^s, widows, children and parents of workers who did work become insured. These are being paid by virtue of their relationship to tbeir husband, father or child. Even though you are not working in employment that Is covered by the Social Security Act, you. may have a stake in social security, be cause you are thf wife, w'dow, child or parent of one who has worked, or Is working, in coveted employment. When a ran, age 65 or oldet, receives insurance payments, his wife (at age 65) may also, by rea. son of her relationship. In tbe event of tbe dsatb ot an insured man, b s widow and or children may be eligible for surviv ors insurance benefits, bv reason of their relationship to tbe deceased. If eligible, she should submit her marriage certificate and the birth certificate for all children under 18 to tbe Social Security Administra tion when filing application for benefits. In this was she proves relationsbfp and thus takes an im portant step in establishing entitle ment to survivors insurance pay ments. An aged widow would prove her relationship to her hnsband bv pre senting a marriage record. There are some instances when aged parents are deemed 10 have been dependent on a deceased child. If there is any question as to the parent and child, t h e parents would prove relationship by sub mitting either a birth certificate of he child or otber acceptable proof. In tbe case of an adopted child, nroof of bis relationalship to bis foster parent wonld be proved bv the submission of a certified copy of the adoption papers. In North Carolina birth and marriage records are maintained in the office of the Register of Deeds in the Conntv in which the|Jbirfh or marriage occnrred. 132 ACRE FARM FOR SALE G o o d 6 - r o o m h o u s e w i t h b a r n a n d o u t b u i l d i n g s a n d e le c tr i c lig h ts . 3 0 0 ,0 0 0 f t . g o o d s a w t i m b e r , w e ll w a t e r e d w i t h g o o d g r a v e l r o a d .

BOSE Tony silently worshipped the petite trapeze queen but she did not know he existed until his heart and imagination combined to bring about a unique introduction. iTp o NY had just em erged through the rear flap of the sideshow tent when he heard the steady rum ble of the snare drum s sounding from the big top just a few feet away. He hurried across the straw -littered areaw ay which was the actor’s en trance to the circus. The gayly col ored pennants floated in the breeze high above the m am m oth canvas. Perform ers in gay costumes lounged leisurely about the rear of the tent awaiting the grand finale. Lumber ing elephants pushed and heaved to move the anim al cages into the m enagerie tent. The big, tawny cats snarled viciously in anger at hav ing been returned to confinement again after their performance. But Tony was oblivious to all this activity as he moved intently into the tent,, and slipped quietly onto ! ■ the grass near the end of the hippo- . , drome track. His position gave him I I a commanding view of the space di- 1I rectly over the center ring. Multi colored spotlights played upon the spangled figure of a dainty lady silhouetted against the tent top. The gentle music of a waltz now wafted through the tent from the bandstand. Poised upon the tiny platform, 80 feet above the ground, stood the petite Annette—queen of the aerialists. Many said she was the greatest since Langtry. The swinging bar floated rhythmically back and forth as she swung it gently and evenly away from her. F ar across the space atop the tent, her assistant swung a sim ilar bar back and forth. Annette was readying herself for the highlight of her perform ance— the feature attraction of Am erica’s greatest circus. She was about to perform her triple som ersault, defy ing death, as she swung her lovely, slim body through the top of the tent. There were no nets beneath! The slightest miscue would spell instant death for the intrepid An nette. With the 4,000 spectators, Tony stared upward as the drum s again began their ominous roll, and An nette floated out on her swinging bar, A silent pause! Then the drum s increased their pace furiously, and the leading lady of the big top hurtled out and up toward the roof, her body revolving once— “Tah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-r u m p!” beat the drums. Twice — “Tah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah- rum p!” Three tim es — “Tah-ah-ah-ah-ah- ah-ah-rum p!" She m et the bar swinging out to her with perfect precision, and in a trice, stood upon the platform on the opposite side, smiling down on the vast sea of faces below. A great “Ah . . . .” of relief es caped from the crowd, and then the applause resounded throughout the tent. Tony sat entranced as Annette acknowledged the plaudits of the multitude. Then she quickly slid down the rope to the ground, took several graceful bows, and scamp ered toward the exit. Already the perform ers and horses were pour ing into the tent for the grand finale; but Tony watched only the movement of the raven-haired beau ty, Annette. Twice each day he cam e to the m ain tent to watch the star of the high swings. How his heart yearned for the little French actress, but Annette was entirely unaware of his affection for her. Tony was billed as ' Anthony Fragiotto, creator and m anipulator of FRAGIOTTO’S MARIONETTES. He was part of the sideshow, and had been with the circus about six months, joining them two months before they left w inter quarters. Tony was in love with Annette. But the shy lad from Vicenza Euganea province in far-off Italy scarcely dared speak to the sta r of the show, let alohe declare his feel ings for her. Tony had been a farm er’s son, working in the fields of those rolling plains when a boy. But Guiseppe Fragiotto was no ordi nary farm er. He was the village wood carver, and for years had de lighted the peasants in the Vicenza region with his puppet shows. N at urally, he taught Iiis son, Antonio, the art. When Tony was big enough to as sist his father in the manipulation of the gayly-costumed dolls, they traveled to Vicenza, Como, and even Padua to present the Fragiot to puppets at the street carnivals. Then the w ar had come! The Fragiotto fam ily had gone under ground when the Germ ans flowed in to Italy. Eventually Tony had come to America. And with him he had brought his precious puppets. He found work as a farm hand in Penn sylvania where he exhibited his puppets one evening at a Red Cross benefit show. Not long after that night, the circus agent had con tacted him, and he was on his way to the circus quarters. There he becam e part of the strange con glom eration which comprised the side show. During the months in winter quar ters, Tony had seen Annette prac ticing her feats on the rings and bars high above the ground. Each day he becam e m ore enam ored of the beautiful aerialist. But how could a poor youth who scarcely spoke English express his adm ira tion for the star of the show? In the early p art of the season, Tony began to form ulate, a plan whereby he m ight show Annette how he felt for her. During the hours when he w as not exhibiting his puppets, Tony carved furiously, creating new properties, scenery, and characters. The trium ph of this frenzied ac tivity was a beautiful doll—the very im age of Annette. Soon the trip pings were completed. It ulas *V The leading lady of the big top hurtled' out and up toward the roof. v Tony’s plan to assem ble the minia ture circus on a Sunday when the show would be laying over. He had planned how he would invite An nette to see his new act! “W hat if she won’t come?” he thought. But surely she would not refuse this sim ple request. The thoughts raced through his m ind as he watched the object of his affection leave the tent. Slowly he arose from the grass. He would wait until she had changed her costume. Then he would go to the m ess tent. He knew the exact m om ent when she would enter for her evening m eal. After an interval that seemed literally hours to Tony, Annette cam e into the dining tent. Shyly he approached her. « FXCOOS, please, Signorina An- nette . . .” “Oh, M’sieur Fragiotto,” trilled Annette, “and how are you today?” Tony w as pleasantly surprised that the circus queen knew who he was. “If the lady has the little min ute,” he stam m ered, “I—Antonio— have created the new poppets. They are the pairform airs of circus,” he mouthed the words carefully in his broken English. “I would like, please, the advice of the Signorina about them !” “How very charm ing,” laughed Annette with a toss of her dark hair, and a m erry twinkle of the sparkling, blue eyes. “I would be delighted, M’sieur Fragiotto. Per haps you could show them to m e tomorrow when we have no per form ance?” “That is w hat I was theehking,” said Tony. “I will have them as- sam ble in the side show tent after dinner tomorrow.” “Fine,” replied Annette. “I have often watched your charm ing show. I would be delighted M’sieur F ra giotto. Perhaps you would be so kind as to show m e how to m ake them w ork?” This w as even m ore than Tony had dream ed m ight be possible. “Indeed! Indeed!” he shouted enthusiastically. “I shall expect you then tom orrow." The next afternoon, Tony was ready with the puppets long before the dinner-hour. He talked to them affectionately as he put them through their paces. To Beppo, the clown, he chuckled. “And now, leetle fonny m an, you m ake the boys and gurls to laugh, no?” The beautifully carved wood en horses pranced and danced as gracefully as their real counter parts in the big tent across the way. But the truly artistic m aster piece w as the replica of Annette. Tenderly, he placed the tiny pup pet into place on the aerial swing in his m iniature arena. “My beautiful one,” he alm ost whispered, “we shall see if you can do the triple soubresaut, reesking your lovely life!” As the graceful puppet tumbled through space at the behest of Tony’s nim ble fingers, he becam e entranced in his work. He did not see Annette slip into the tent. He was startled when she exlaim ed: “But . . . it is perfect!” She scam pered behind the scenes to ex am ine the trappings of the new show. She oh-ed and ah-ed at the beautifully wrought details of the tiny circus, and when Tony handed her the tiny duplicate of herself, she was utterly speechless. Finally she said: “Oh, Tony, it’s beautiful . . . too beautiful. I don’t really look like that, do I? ” she queried, looking coquettishly up into his eyes. The blood rushed to Tony’s face, and he stam m ered weakly. “Oh, Tony, show m e how to m ake her work,” pleaded Annette, danc ing up and down excitedly like a child with a new toy. “Can you really m ake her do a triple som er sault like m yself?” “Yes,” laughed Tony, “but it is not easy. You m ust practice. Now see,” he said, placing the toggle sticks in her hands as she clam bered onto the platform beside him . “When you m ove this one so, the arm s and legs do your beeding. When you move thees one so,” he indicated the other stick, “the head and body move at your com m and.” Annette moved the sticks awk wardly, and the little doll gyrated wildly in her hands. In her effort to disentangle the puppet, she be cam e involved in the strings. Tony reached around her shoulders to straighten up the entanglem ent, when she raised her face, brush ing his chin with her soft hair. H er lovely feminine fragrance held Tony entranced, and acting im pulsively, he kissed her upturned lips. “Plees, forgeev m e, I . . . I . . .” he stam m ered. But Annette w as not angry. R ather she seemed pleased. E ver so tenderly, she cud dled against Tony, and speaking softly, she said. “But, Tony, little Annette is still all tangled up. She will surely nev er m ake the som ersault if you do not help m e.” Tony’s heart was m aking the som ersaults now, as once again he put his arm s about her. Then the words cam e pouring forth . . . the words he had whispered to the pup pet Annette. “Oh, m y beautiful Annette,” he sighed, “these long months I have loved you. I never dream ed . . .” but his words w ere lost, for An nette’s lovely face was lifted to his, and her w arm th and beauty engulfed him as he kissed her long and tenderly. And Annette—the doll—som er saulted again and again at the end of her tangled strings.

True Wisdom Lesson for October 31,1948 Dr. Forem an W H A T is the m ost im portant v v thing in the world? W hat is worth m ore than anything else? Some would say Money; some Pow er; some Goodness; some Truth. Anoth er answer is given by the w riters of a group of books, two of which are includ ed in our Bible. “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wis dom,” they say. The books of Proverbs and Ec clesiastes in our Protestant Bible, and the books of Ecclesiasticus and the Wisdom of Solomon in the Apocrypha, all have this viewpoint and are therefore called the Wis dom Literature. Other w riters in the Bible divide the hum an race into the Good and the Wicked, or the Believers and the Unbelievers; but these w riters see mankind as the Wise and the Foolish. The books they wrote (es pecially Proverbs) were intended particularly for those who are so far neither foolish nor wise—that is to say, the young.. . . K n o w l e d g e I s N o t W i s d o m VX7TSD0M (as these w riters use ’ ' the word) is not the sam e thing as knowledge. A person m ay know a great m any things and still be a fool. Or he m ay not even know how to read and write, and yet be wise. Some m odern w riter has said: ECnowIedge is knowing what to do; skill is' knowing how-to -do it; and virtue is doing it. Wisdom is all of these put together. But the special feature of the “Wisdom W riters” is this: True wisdom begins with the fear of God.. “ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom . . . the knowledge of God is under standing.” In other words, wis dom without religion, without faith, is foolish after all. We can see how in our tim es the story of the Nazis has shown this once m ore to be true. The Germ an Reich of 1935-1939 had the best of the science of the world; they had scholarship and wealth and “know how” in m any fields; but they re jected God and defied his church— and so a nation was destroyed. We too m ay profit by their exam ple. We of the w estern nations have wealth and technical skills beyond any other peoples, we have the atom bombs—but have we the wis dom without which all these things are but as torches in the hands of m admen?* * * U n i v e r s i t y o n A n t- H ill tTNOW LEDGE m ay be expensive. -*■*- It costs a great deal of money to know w hat it takes to be an en gineer or a surgeon. Wisdom, strange to say, is less expensive. It is fact on such a low shelf that most people pass it by. Consider where the “Wisdom W riters” tell us we m ay learn wis dom. -One place is experience. “Ex perience keeps an expensive school, but fools will learn in no other— and hardly from that,” says a m ore m odern proverb. M any of the proverbs in our Bible arc simply distilled drops of experience. “A soft answer turnetb aw ay w rath, but griev ous words stir up anger,” for exam ple. Do you need an angel from the sky to tell you that? Another source of wisdom is just N ature herself. “Go to the ant, thou sluggard (lazy fellow); con sider her ways and be wise.” A iazy m an is a fool; but how shall he learn to be wise? Not by reading books—just by watching the ants.• * * I n s p i r e d C o m m o n S e n s e A FORM ER governor of Virginia ■^•used to say that during his term of office he received m ore practical help from reading Proverbs than from any of the books on political science in his library. For the sci ence, or the art, of governm ent is simply one specialized form of that most im portant art, getting along with people. And the Wisdom Lit erature shows us how it is done. Some people think that Inspira tion is always m ysterious, and that the Holy Spirit would not stoop tc inspire w hat we could learn in any ordinary way. But the Christian church, when it declares Proverbs (for exam ple) inspired, .expresses her belief th at there is such a thing as Inspired Common Sense. Goid may speak to us, and does speak—if we will listen—in the advice of our parents, in our everyday experiences, in the hard-working ant and die maj esty of the soaring eagle.

C. •WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS' Security Council Gets Berlin Issue, Inconclusive Meeting Stalls Action; Russia Proposes Big Fonr Parley - B y B ill S c h o e n tg e n , W N U S ta ff W r i t e r - BIG FOUR: More Talks? Russia, whether the Krem lin ad m itted it or not, was dissatisfied with the way its pet Berlin situa-. tion was being handled. The Sovi ets wanted it out of the hands of the U. N. and in the hands of the Big Four foreign m inisters. EVEN WHILE the United Nations was deciding to discuss the issue, Soviet Foreign M inister V. M. Mol otov w as sending a note to the U. S., Britain and France urging that the four foreign m inisters m eet to consider both the Berlin crisis and the problem of Germ any as a whole. I It was a peculiar development, inasmuch as it set the western na tions to wondering how the Soviets could justify such a conference in view of their fla grant defection in the long, futile and disillusioning Mos cow talks which had ended recently. Molotov’s note, however, claim ed that the U. N. security council did not have the authority to deal either with the Berlin crisis or the overall subject of Germ any. REVIEW ING the six weeks of ne gotiations in Moscow, the note said that the talks did not break down over a Russian dem and for control of all air traffic in and out of Ber lin, as the allies had contended. All that Russia wanted, said’Mol otov, w as some control over air transport to prevent black m arket money deals. U. S. Am bassador Bedell Smith had agreed with that condition, Mol otov insisted, and quoted him as sgying: “It is quite understandable ■die Soviet governm ent wishes to have certain guarantees against Utilization of air transport for il legal currency deals or black m ar ket operations. Satisfactory guar antees of such kind could easily be secured.” IF SMITH’S statem ent is correct, Molotov reasoned, then the Soviet Union believes it is possible ah agreem ent m ay be reached be tween the four powers on “ a. m u tually satisfactory basis.” Anyway, Molotov continued right eously, he couldn’t see w hat all the fuss w as about. He claim ed there w as no blockade of Berlin, adding that the "defensive, pro tective m easure” did not threaten international peace and security. One More Alliance Sen. Chan Gurney (R., S. D.) chairm an of the senate arm ed serv ices committee, has proposed a for m al m ilitary alliance that would pledge the U. S. to fight if the na tions of western Europe were to be attacked by Russia. He announced that he would ask the next congress to approve his proposed alliance and to back it up with a new lend-lease program to help rearm western powers. Ex ‘Vice’ Twice (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions ate expressed in these columns, they are those of Western Xewrspapcr Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) DEBATE: Inconclusive For better or for worse the U. N. security council had become wed ded to the problem of what to do about Berlin, but there was no honeymoon. Russia had boycotted the secur ity council debate, and although An drei Vishinsky, Soviet delegate, at tended the first m eeting in body he rem ained monstrously aloof from the proceedings in spirit. THAT FIRST session was not only inconclusive but downright dull. No one would have thought that the 11 m en mulling over this world crisis in the Chaillot palace in P aris were engaged in delibera tions of so momentous a nature that they m ight turn the balance for peace or w ar in the world. While Vishinsky sat dourly and silently—playing the part of the vi carious witness to the hilt — the Am erican and French delegates read polite tirades against the m an ners and m orals of Soviet motives and politics. WHEN THE TWO western speak ers w ere done, Juan A. Bram uglia of Argentina, acting president of the council, was forced sim ply to drop the whole business, tem porari ly at least, with a hollow thud. After the French delegate had completed his review, Bram uglia waited expectantly for a tim e, then observed mildly that ^ince he didn’t seem to have any m ore speakers on the list the m eeting would be recessed. It appeared probable that the del egates would take considerable tim e for studying the charges of the U. S., G reat Britain and France against Russia before m eeting again. There was a possibility, too, that the security council m ight de lay further form al m editation on the off chance that Russia m ight lift the Berlin blockade and the Big Four foreign m inisters m ight take up the entire Germ an ques tion. - ryrf Form er Viee President John G arner and President H arry Tru m an, also a form er vice presi dent, staged a cheery reunion when M r. Trum an cam e to Uvalde, Tex., in the course of his pre-election, cam paign-tour. The two are old buddies from way back, and the visit didn’t hurt the President any politically, either, because Cactus Jack is a mighty popular m an in Texas. INFLATION: What Price Bread? E ver since the price of w heat de clined under the im petus of this year’s bum per crop a good m any in flation-harried Am ericans have been asking when the price of bread was going to take a corresponding drop. The answer is that it probably won’t; and the reason is that al though the price of wheat is down the cost of the other basic bread ingredients are not. BAKING INDUSTRY leaders, in a considerable ferm ent over recent charges that bread prices are de liberately being kept aloft, have said—and with some justification— that the present costs of bakery goods reflect “ a rem arkable achievem ent in resisting inflation ary pressures.” They base this contention on bu reau of labor statistics figures which show, among other things, th at the baker today is paying $2.53 for the four m ajor ingredients of bread that cost him $1.00 in 1939. THAT FIGURES out to an in crease of 153 per cent in the cost of raw m aterials; yet the Am erican housewife is paying on the average only about 63 per cent m ore for her bread than during the 1935-39 base period used by the bureau of labor statistics in computing its cost-of- living index. L ast November, BLS figures show, flour reached a record of 164 per cent over the base period, and in December wheat of the type used for bread flour hit a record high of 214 per cent over the base. And although flour and w heat prices have slid somewhat recently, the flour used in bread now on the grocers’ shelves was purchased by the baker several weeks ago when prices were up. OF THE FOUR m ajor bread in gredients—flour, sugar, shortening and milk—only sugar now has a lower BLS index than bread. And still another factor which has the bread-m akers beside them selves singing in the wilderness is the m ounting costs of other elem ents in volved in producing the staff of life —such as labor, m achinery, distri bution and packaging. Any way you slice it, it’s still in flation. ASSISTANCE: For President Form er President H erbert Hoover, who knows whereof he speaks when he dwells on the rigors of being the nation’s chief executive, has a cam paign under way now to add m ore m em bers to the U. S. cabinet who could, act as “operating vice presi dents” assisting the president. HOOVER IS chairm an of the non political governm ent reorganization commission which will recom mend additional cabinet m em bers to act in that capacity. He did not specify how m any will be urged beyond the present nine- m an cabinet, but m em bers of his commission said the figure under consideration was three. , “ Everypresidenthasrecom m ended additions to the cabinet,” said Hoo ver. “There are nearly 80 independ ent agencies of the governm ent running around loose In addition to the nine cabinet departm ents.” M em bers of the commission have revealed that am ong the additional cabinet departm ents that have been considered—but not decided upon— is a social’’security departm ent, in cluding public health, public works and education. They are separate bureaus now. THE REORGANIZATION commis sion, which is working on all angles of governm ent reorganization, was appointed under an act of the last congress. President Trum an ap pointed a third of the commission and the senate and house each nam ed a third. New Job for Leahy? PR E SID E N T Trum an has been ^ p riv ately turning on the heat to ease out his chief of staff, 73-year- old elder statesm an, Adm. William D. Leahy. Mr. Trum an, who hates to fire anyone himself, recently called in Leahy’s close friend, Adm. Louis Denfeld, chief of naval operations and the m an who really runs the navy. Addressing Denfeld as “Lou,” though he usually calls him “Adm iral,” Trum an said: “Lou, I w ant you to do something for m e. I w ant you to ask Leahy to retire. “I like the old m an,” the Presi dent continued, “but he’s outgrown his usefulness. I just hate to do this, but you can find a way of suggest ing it to him. When I first cam e here, he offered to resign and I said no. Then last year he offered to resign again, and I asked him to stay. So it’s very em barrassing to m e and I can’t very well ask him m yself.” Adm iral Denfeld, who has known Leahy all his life, dem urred. “ I suppose Secretary ForrestaI has been telling.you that I have two votes in the joint chiefs of staff—m ine and Leahy’s,” he said. “ But jnst look at the rec ord. You’ll find Leahy voted against m e m ost of the tim e.” “He’s gotten too reactionary,” countered the President. “He and George M arshall are hardly on speaking term s. Everything M ar shall proposes Leahy tears to pieces. Clark Clifford tells m e the public reaction to him is bad." Denfeld replied that he didn’t see how he could possibly ask Admiral Leahy to retire. “He’s m y superior,” he said, “and I can’t go to him with a proposal like that.” “Well, figure out some big job we can give him ,” countered the Presi dent. I w ant him to retire in a blaze of glory. After his career he deserves it. Think up some impor tant mission we can send him on— something really im portant.” Admiral Denfeld promised to look into the m atter, cam e back a few days later with the idea that Admiral Leahy be appoint ed U. S. am bassador to Spain. Leahy had already served as am bassador to France and governor of Puerto Rico, has something of a diplomatic background and Tru m an was delighted with the idea. However, he overlooked the fact that we have no diplomatic rela tions with Spain, and have agreed not to appoint an am bassdor until the Franco government is recog nized by the United Nations. This fact was prom ptly brought to Mr. Trum an’s attention when he suggested that Leahy become am bassador to Spain. The state de partm ent was em phatic and ada m ant. No am bassador, it said—not even Admiral Leahy—would be sent to M adrid. M r. Trum an is still looking for. a job for Adm iral Leahy.* * • Ex-Ghost Writer’s Opinion Judge Sam Rosenm an of New York, who used to w rite speeches for both Franklin D. Roosevelt and H arry Trum an, gave a private diag nosis of Trum an’s cam paign talks the other day that would have de lighted the ears of Dewey forces. Chatting with a close friend, Ro- senm an declared: “I don't know who is writing this stuff the Presi dent has been delivering from the platform , but it will lose him more votes than he will win. “In my opinion, the President is harping on that W all street- against-the-farm er and capital- against-Iabor them e too heavy, That type of appeal doesn’t reg ister any m ore, except m aybe with the W allaceites. The farm ers are too well off this year to be frightened by Wall street.” Judge Rosenman said he would have been glad to have offered his advice on Trum an’s speeches, “for whatever it was worth,” but added that “some people around the Pres ident apparently think I am a bad influence." Rosenman didn’t nam e nam es, but it was jealous Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder who eu- chered Rosenman from riding on the President’s train. “I helped prepare the President’s convention acceptance speech and his m essage to the special session of congress,” Judge Rosenman told a friend, "but I haven’t been called in since.”• * * Wainwright’s Name Gen.

WASHINGTON.—It won’t be long now before you’ll be able to settle those election bets. A few days after the release of the official record of the negotiations with the Russians over the Berlin situation, I w as sitting in the club with a couple of m em bers of the D em ocratic adm inistration. Talk had grown pretty tall in P aris and th at morning, every other person I m et, it seemed, asked m e: are we going to have war? BAUKHAGE But W ashington w as as calm as a sleeping tabbycat. The club dining room window was open, and a lazy autum n sun sw eep ed down through the trees o f th e park. S q u irre ls loafed around, showing little or no inter est in preparing for the winter, and when I repeated the question I had heard so often that morning to m y two Dem ocratic friends, it aroused very little interest. Said they: “The Russians want Dewey. So we won’t have w ar now. The Soviets know if they started a w ar at this tim e, it would cinch Trum an’s election.” N aturally m y friends didn’t indicate that they had any doubts as to the outcome of the election, but when we started talking odds, I noticed the con versation w as confined largely to the race for the senate. After all, said m y friends, even some Republicans concede that Dewey m ight face a Dem ocratic up per house. It wouldn’t take m uch of a push either way. The D em ocrats have 45 seats now, and the Republicans only 51. The Dem ocrats are con fident that only one or two of their candidates are in danger. On the other hand, there are a num ber of stiff state fights in prog ress in which the Republicans are being pushed pretty hard. The Dem ocrats feel that if they can get out a large vote in these uncertain states, they have a chance of win ning the four seats that would give them the edge. In other words the count then would be: Dem ocrats 49; Repub licans, 47. That two-vote m argin wouldn’t assure Dem ocratic domi nance on all senate policy m atters, of course, because too m any sen ators are given to leaping but of the party corral these days. On the other hand, m any issues are bound to be settled along purely partisan lines. But far m ore im portant, the party of the m ajority gains control of the senate com m ittees. Tbe pre-election battles in which the Dem ocrats seem to have the edge are in Oklahoma, W est Virginia, Wyoming, and Kentucky. About in that order. Also M innesota, Illinois, Iowa, and Idaho. The Dem ocrats adm it their weak est points are in M ontana and Colorado. The Republicans by no m eans concede New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Tennessee, but the Dem ocrats don’t seem too worried about those states. At this writing, it is useless to m ake predictions, for even between this calm m om ent and the tim e these lines are in print, skies m ay fall or some individual m ay ’ stub his toe. Bets are collected after, not before, elections. It is fortunate, of course, that all WTiters as well as all bettors are not equipped with extra-sensory powers. If and when the day comes when we are, the fun will be taken out of reading, writing, and betting. And th at day m ay come, believe it or not. I feel quite, positive from the scientific proof offered, that m ost of the various form s of the supernatural are untenable. But, after attending a couple of lectures and reading considerable m aterial on “parapsychology,” I have be come convinced that certain things MAY exist which are at preshpt considered impossible. I refer to extra-sensory per ception, clairvoyance, and psy chokinesis. And I see no reason why m ore scientists shouldn’t give these subjects a m ore thor ough looking-into than they have deigned to indulge in up to now. Some have. Dr. J. B. Rhine, director of the parapsychological laboratory at Duke university, has been conduct ing experim ents along these eerie lines for nearly two decades. He is a very m odest m an, and he leans over backw ard to avoid offering any conclusions or m aking any flat statem ents concerning these experi m ents. I have read his book (heard him speak to an intim ate group, take part in a forum and later answer questions at a private gathering under the auspices of the Wash ington Society for Parapsychology. For alm ost two decades, as I said, Dr. Rhine and his assistants have been trying to determ ine whether or not there is a scientific basis for telepathy (the transfer of thought .from one hum an brain to another); clairvoyance (the ability to visualize things o r events taking place be yond the vision of knowledge); or for that ability which m ay involve both of the form er, precognition— the ability to predict things which will occur in the future. And also psychokinesis, the hardest one of all for the cynical to swallow. That is the power of m ind over m atter, e.g. abil ity to m ake dice fall the way you w ant them to by thinking at them . Roughly, this is an exam ple of w hat has been done by D r. Rhine and others. After long experim ent and m athem atical calculation, it is determ ined that by chance alone anybody can pick correctly five cards out of a pack of 25. T hat is just guessing, and it is even money the subject can do it. If he is right oftener (and m ay have been right consistently m ore often than five in 25) that is MORE than chance. If he is right often enough, it is said that he has extra sensory perception. In other words, he is able to perceive w hat the card is without the use of his senses, but rather by some undefined, un m easured, unclassified ability which science as yet cannot explain. Clairvoyance is a common expe rience. An exam ple m ight be of the m other who has a vivid and alarm ing im pression of a train wreck. It m ay be a nightm are, a waking hal lucination, or just an intuition. The wreck seem s to be connected with her son, perhaps with some definite place like a tunnel. It turns out later that her son was actually in jured in a w reck at the spot where her dream assigned it. Careful checking of such ex periences is now going on, and Dr. Rhine feels that the re sults in these cases too, appear to show that some unknown process is involved, unexplained in term s of our ordinary senses. As to psychokinesis, experim ents have seem ed to prove that dice rolled in a m echanical cage could be m ade to fall, oftener than they would be by the laws of chance, ac cording to the way the subject wished them to fall. Dr. Rhine and his associates are trained psychologists. They say they are not trying to convince anyone that the above-mentioned qualities are actually possessed by certain individuals but they are trying to investigate their apparent existence. Atid Now a Book Ott John Garner I had another adventure which m ight be called parapolitical. There was nothing psychic about it, but it included a piece of hindsight that is interesting. The hindsight is that of form er Speaker of the House and Vice- President John Nance G arner. He said he wished he had never left the house of representatives to run for vice-president. He felt that if Franklin Roosevelt had had a m an like Speaker Joe Cannon in the speaker’s chair—a no-man—Roose velt could have avoided some of the m istakes G arner thinks he m ade. In other words, G arner would have liked to play Cannon to Roosevelt. This cam e out in connection with a gathering of a few- of the news friends of that over- six-feet-tall-Texan who looks like A braham Lincoln and talks like WUl Rogers. A m an who was brought up on a ranch, but thought cows were a novelty until he was 10 because all they raised on his father’s ranch were buffalo. He is Washington correspondent for m ore dailies than any one I ever heard of, and once we wangled him one vote for the vice-presidential nomi nation for the lark of it. Now he’s author of a book. I’m talking about Bascom Tim mons and his book, "G arner of Tex as," the only complete record of that fiery gentlem an from Uvalde whose record for integrity and po litical ability in the house of rep resentatives is one few can rival. “Timmy” wrote it from his own notes and absolutely free hand. He probably knows G arner better than anyone on earth. It’s a good book. It contains m any interesting things including the “hindsight” I quoted. Timmons is not only popular among newsmen, but he’s popular with congressmen, presidents, cops and cats. One of ids cats had its portrait painted by Howard Chand ler Christy; another was operated on by a specialist a t Johns Hop kins, both thereby setting up feline records in their respective fields, as their m aster has in his. If you’re interested in “G arner of Texas,” you’U be interested in what Tim mons of Texas has to say about him. DressUpYourApron , jV/fOHNING GLORIES for your afternoon tea apron!

M any farm ers, says Middle West Soil Im provem ent com mittee, use fertilizer as a crutch. They try to m ake it substitute for good m an agem ent practices. They put plant food in the soil without m aking sure the plant can send out its roots to use it. Fertilizer is essential in giving the soil plant nutrients to feed crops. But fertilizer can’t do the whole job. It m ust be team ed with other practices that build and m ain tain soil structure and keep the top soil “nailed down.” H ie soil needs good structure so roots can grow and reach out for plant food. Roots need air and wa ter to live. When a soil is packed down and tight, there is no room for the air and w ater needed by roots and plants for high crop production. The way to build soil structure is to grow legumes and grasses regu larly in the rotation. These legumes m ake a thick layer of good soil. YOU CAN S-T-R-E-T-C-H YOUR They add organic m atter. Such soil has plenty of air space. Water soaks in quickly and m ore of it is held. Weak, scattered stands of legiunes won’t build soil structure. For strong, leafy stands and vigorous roots, the legum es need phosphate and potash that can be added in com m ercial fertilizer. Getting thick stands isn’t the whole story either. AU these crops can’t be cut for hay or graze close and still be expected to build the soil. At least a part of these crops m ust be turned back to the soil. Private Life of Bossy In the current craze for dissect ing private lifes even Bossy is not im m une. The inevitable prober comes up with these statistics: Bossy grazes only seven and a half hours daily, regardless of how m uch feed she gets. She does 60 per cent of her grazing during daylight hours, 40 per cent at night. She spends five hours a day eating at a rate of 50 to 70 bites per m inute. She chews her cud seven hours a day and spends 12 hours lying down, at nine dif ferent tim es. While grazing, she travels two and a half m iles in the daytim e and one and a half at night. She drinks 10 tim es a day. Erosion Takes Alarming Toll of Good Crop Land Erosion is taking an increasingly alarm ing toll of good crop land in the United States. Estim ates by the departm ent of agriculture indi cate that about 100 million acres of once good crop land have been ruined or nearly ruined for profit able cropping by erosion, another 100 million acres have been badly dam aged and still another 100 mil lion acres are eroding too fast. There are now approxim ately 460 million acres of good crop land in the U. S., including acreage now in crops as well as about 100 million acres th at need clearing, drainage, irrigation or other im provement. AU but about 7% million acres of this 460 million acres are subject to erosion unless protective m eas. ures are adopted. Planting of Windbreak WillJmprove Farmstead Ranked as a m ajor farm stead im provem ent project, planting of a windbreak around farm buildings not only improves the appearance of the farm but also saves fuel and gives wind protection to the build ing and livestock. In addition to the regular wind break on the north and west of the farm stead, m any farm ers also are planting a garden windbreak on the south and west of the garden.

In the early WOOs pig iron w as traded as a commodity, like grain, sugar, coffee or cocoa. Trading in w arrants on the produce exchange - and through brokers entitled the - holder to specific quam lies of pig iron in storage. •' The practice grew out of the finan- j cial straits of small m erchant blast ) furnace operators who could not • afford to shut down during periods ; of dull business activity and thus I were able to continue operations and secure cash for their output by ar ranging for issuance of w arrants against iron produced. Under this system the land at the furnace on which the pig iron was : stored was leased to a storage com- ' pany. The latter hired a yardm aster to guard the stores of iron and attend to shipments. The storage company would issue the warrants, usually representing claims against 100 tons or m ultiples of tliat amount •. of the iron in storage. Sale of the w arrants to the first purchaser would provide the furnace with needed cash.

C When Turkeys Had Bells Half a century ago before turkey raising became a scientific commer cial industry with heated apart ments, hot and cold running water, cod liver oil and vitamin pills, many general farm s had a flock of a score or two of birds. The long-legged, bright-eyed birds liked to wander over the meadows, pasture and up land fields for grasshoppers and bus?. They circled into the woods anti when the beechnuts fell, after tin- first IcIliiiK frost, the turkeys fattened on thr beechnut m eats.

The great est ' percentage of these, are filled with cotton. The best ones are filled with long-fibered cotton which has been felted into layers. The cheaper ones—the ones into which short cot ton fibers are blown, or the plater m attress which has loose fibers in the center with a few felted cotton layers above and beneath—tend to m at down, developing lumps and depressions. High quality curled hair makes a good m attress for anyone who pre fers a very firm sleep foundation. Horse tail and cattle tail hair are best, with horse m ane second.
