O a lot of amusement to find, that you did a’t have any better sense than a d in a gentleman in an open letter with a one cent stamp on it. "You say you are gonna cause m : lots of trouble if I don’t pay up Well, all I gotta say is, if you can cruse me me any more trouble than I have had for the past year or so why go ahead and wade up to your eyebrows. "Just to give, you a bird’s eye view of my candid but since method of doing bvsiness along with some of my misfortunes, last summer I let some lightning rod agents per­ suade me into putting lightning rods on my bouse. They did and the next day when a thunder storm came up u missed my house but lightning demolished my barn and killed four shoats. “ Right 'after that I rented my Ford to a preacher who was hold ing a revival with the understand­ ing I was to get one third of the collections. What happened? After a,week's preaching my part ,.was $ 1 7 0 and the preacher coming back home turned the Ford over in a ditch wrecking it out and out. He not being worth anything—and me neither—the Ford is still in the ditch "Shortly after this, I went fish­ ing in the Cape Fear river and lost a $ 5 0 gold watch in 2 0 feet of water- This was a heavy loss because I had already made a down payment of $ 2 2 5 on the watch and now, al though it’s lost, I’ll have to, in time to come, pay the other $4 7 . 7 5 Perhaps this is one of the bills you you have “Early last fall I took down with the measles and mumps and as result lost all ot my teeth. I bought a full set of false ones for $ 8 0 on the installment plan, paying $ 3 down. After dunning me some 1 5 or 2 0 times bv mail and in person, the dentist took out ejectment pa pers and took the teeth back. Now I ’m so weak I can’t eat anything but soup and drink coffee. “ So you see for yourself just, how I stand, and in conclusion, I want to repeat if you can cause me any more trouble than I ,have bad and am still having, just dable in to your heart’s content. Debts and installments have lost their attrac­ tion for me and all my associates and right now, gentlemen, if over­ coats for elephants were selling for cents apiece, I couldn’t buy a hum­ ming bird a vest.

It is often said that So and So would not make a good politician, be­ cause he is not tricky enough, is not sharp enough, nor bold enough, and therefore he couldn’t get votes. It would be equally as sensible to say that So and So would not make a good merchant, because ha cannot stoop to chicanery, to cheating, and to falsehood. Anyone knows that a merchant who operates along those linps will dismally fail, and that right quickly. The same rule applies equally as fast to politics. A good politician is one who does nGt.promise too-much, who knows be must make good.what­ ever he promises, and who treats friend or foe with equal courtesy, in the discharge of his duties. A good politician isn’t butting in­ to everyboy else’s game, and he isn’t claiming to have influence with any­ one. Heisn’t promising everybody jobs, and isn’t promising to try to help everybody get a job. . A good politician seiden promises to do other than his duty. A good politician doesn’t try to ; log roll everyone of his own personal group into something better than other folks can get, A good politician does one thing that most folks don’t do; and that is to see to the best of his ability, that political jobs are handed to those who do the work. It ispoor policies and poor -business to- feed the mule’s lazy brother who does no word, but gets on;just because of bis brother’s friendship. ;' A good politician !mows he is mak- ing' no mistake by;,’rewarding the man who works in politics, because anyone anywhere who will work, is 'spme^^d.XsApolitician^tea his own-s'elf when he’puts lazy men in jobs to deal with the public.' Agood politician of course-has to be a good man, to begin with. The man who can make a success of noth­ ing else, will rot long make a success of politics. You cannot fool aH the people all the time.’ The man in poli­ tics who is two tricky. br too extra­ vagant in his promises soon lose the confidence of his people. X The man who operates along con- serative lines, may- for the time be­ ing, be censured by those who ex­ pect the unreasonoble. But in the long run, he will emerge a stronger, abler and more highly valued man, with growing prestige and standing, with the fdks who,do things and really count in life. ' The manwho doesn’t follow the Golden Rule fairly close in any walk of life, whether it is. politics, preach­ ing, farming or fishing, is not going to get the most out of life. The man who does, will travel a. joyful road, a long, long way. and beside it will notice the wrecks of many who were sharp, and tricky, and greedy. The Golden Ruie is the only-rule.

Under the caption “The President Who Came Back,” Robert L- Archer has written an interesting story in the current issue of the National Re­ public on Grover Cleveland, one of our post-War Between the States Presidents, who seems to have grown considerably in public favor during the past few years. Intoucbing <Jb Cleveland’s first election. Archw says: £ "At this day, 17 yeare after the close of the World War, one can hard­ ly realize that Grover Cleveland came to the White House ionly about 19 years after the close of the War Be­ tween the States." Nor that the ha­ voc, .wrought upon ? our ^country, morally. politically^Mnancially and economically, had been much greater then than now. His party came to power after a long reign by the op­ posing political party, and; after ia period when the waving , of the bloody shirt”jwas a&nucb ' favored political shibboleth in the ’.prosecu­ tion of political campaigns./ Hour» ever, the North had become some­ what disapproving Ofaome of the rh- construction polieiesjof the"Repub 1- cans and that party was [divided Dy factional strife. With the nomina- tion of Cleveland the hour had struck for the division of the North­ ern vote and the consequent eiectirin of a Democrat as President, the first Democrat, to occupy the*; White House in 24 years. The vote was exceedingly dose, and it was not until 1 0 days after the election that the choice of Cleyelafid as President jyaa„finallyr;canc^od:^'-'U!^carri^-- :::Ihe nation by only 23.'(® out of Tfc'-" ' 700.000 votes cast.. ' ' ;S'' ‘ His administration bad’ hardly gotten under way when he met with difficulties. He had'-.a Republican Senate to contend with, ;and his pledges of civil service reform which brought him the support of thfi ‘Mugwumps’ did not at all ’coincide with the ideas of many, of the lead* ers of the Democratic; Party. Offiiis oy thousands with their friends and advocates made h is-iife miserable^ Andrew Jackson was the first Presi­ dent who frankly divided the spoils of victory among bis supporters, arid the precedent then established hds been followed by 'each successive President no matter to what party he belonged. Cleveland did not be* iieve himself to be a civil service re* former with Democratic Iearnigifi but rather a President of the Unitleii States who believed in; the principles of civil service reform. In -carrying on with these convictions he found bimself in conflict not only with' many of the leaders of his own party but also with the leaders of the re* form movement such as Carl Schurtk and George William 'Curtis. Notli* ing that he did was pleasing to both. Nevertheless he pursued the even tenor of his way, believing' that- the chief object of/ civil service re­ turn was to^supply a list of compe* tent persons, tested by examination from which appointments could be "Outside the civil service list there were about.49,000 fourth class;post* masters subjected to appointment by the President, and about 5,000 mis* cel laneous positions, mostly ’held by. Republicans, and for each.of these there were one or more expectant., Democrats bringing to bear; all thes pressure and influence they could -to fill vacancies or to make vacancies/ where none existed. .

In verses 20-20 Jesus sets forth the Inner spiritual condition of those who are members of his kingdom. In the lesson text for today he,sets forth the principles governing the life of his followers. I. Love Your Enemies (v. 29). Love here is not mere natural affec­ tion. Love is not sentiment but is the sincere desire for the welfare of an­ other, and the willingness to do all in one’s power to accomplish that which is good for the individual. To love friends is easy, but to love enemies is only possible to.those who have been born again. II. Do Good to Them Which Hate You (v. 27). Love is positive In its nature. The disciple of Christ will not merely 'efrain from doing Injury to one who hales him, but will be concerned with t:mi engaged in doing good to him. III. Bless Them That Curse You (v. 28). To bless means, to speak well of, tv invoke a blessing upon. IV. Pray for Them. Which Despite- fully Use You (v. 28). It is obligatory upon the Christian to pray for those who heap abuses upon him. The best commentary on this is Christ’s own example. “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do’’ (Luke 23:34). When Christ was reviled he reviled not again; “When he suffered, he threatened not; bat committed himself to him that judgeth righteously” (I Pet. 2:23). V. Patiently Endure Wrong and In­ jury (v. 29). The Christian is not to bristle In de­ fense of his rights, but rather to suffer insult, injury, and even loss. This expresses the law which governs the Individual’s action and should not be pressed so far that evildoers go un­ checked. - Rightly constituted govern­ ment has been ordained of God for the protection of. the innocent and punish., ihent of evildoers (Rom. 13:1-8); VI. Give to Every Man That Asketh of Thee (v. 30.) i ' This text does not authorize promis­ cuous giving, neither does it mean that any request made by the idle, greedy, and selfish should be granted. There Is a giving which injures the one to whom the gift is made. It would not be proper to give a man money to buy whisky. The principle enjoined is to give the thing needed tq the one asking. The supreme need of every able-bodied person is to be given a way to earn his living. VII. Do to Others as You Wish Others to Do to You (vv. 31-35). This is called the Golden Rule. It is t Ii e-sum total of Christian duty as It pertains to human inter-relations. If this rule were lived up to. the problem of capital and labor would be solved, war would cease, interna­ tional relations would be peaceably ad­ justed, and all profiteering in business would end. Vl 11. Be -Merciful (v. 36). This means to be filled with pity and compassion; to enter into sympathy with every need of others. Our su­ preme example is the Heavenly Father. IX. Censorious Judgments Con­ demned (v. 37). This means that the evil or false in others should not be sought out We should not sit In critical judgment upon tiie action of others. This does not, however, prohibit the estimation of others by their deeds. X. Compensations of Right Living (v. 38). The believer who gives freely of money, loves sincerely, makes the Golden Rule the standard of his life, shows mercy and kindness to others, and refrains from impugning the mo­ tives of others, will be fully rewarded. XI. Danger of Following False Teachers (v. 39). The teacher who does not know God and the way to heaven will lead others-into ruin. Only such as know God should be followed. XII. Those Who Reprove Others Should Live Blameless Lives • (vv. 41, 42.Evil doing should be removed from our live3 before bringing others to account.XIII., The Sin of Profession With­ out Fruitbearing (w. 43 46). The one who Is! in fellowship with God will practice the principles which reveal God's nature. A Rose Every rose is an autograph from thfc hand of the Almighty God.

Prepared by the National Geographic Society.Washington. D. C-—WNU Service. L IKE humans, there are all kinds of ants—busy ants and ants that live on the accomplish­ ments of others. One often feels sorry for some of the industrious species of Formica, solid citizens, but really the “forgot­ ten ants,” because they seem to be preyed upon by every sort of warrior ant and their nests are nearly always shared with various guests and para­sites. I Two kinds of ants, • very different from each other, sometimes live to­ gether amicably, each occupying a separate /part of the same nest and. contributing to the general welfare. The little shampoo ant (Leptothorax emersoni), discovered by Dr. William Morton Wheeler of Harvard in the peat bogs of Connecticut, lives in the. nests of Myrmica canadensis, a much larger species. When the Leptothorax worker needs food, it approaches the' Myrmica worker and proceeds to sham­ poo and lick It The Myrmlca obvi­ ously enjoys this, for It regurgitates food to the Leptothorax. One day In Brazil a scientist was in ­ vestigating an ant nest consisting of a mass of earth six inches In diam­ eter in a fork of a tree. He tapped this nest gently with. his forceps and ^tfie !surface %as lmmediatefy covered with small, reddish-brown ants of the genus Dollchoderus. When he gouged into the nest to find the various forms, a swarm of Odontomachus rushed out and one of them stung Iiiin. Odonto- machus was n dozen times as big as the Doliclioderus and provided with strong biting jaws and a red-hot sting. Undoubtedly the little Dolichoderus Iiad built the nest and the Odonto- machus had taken up their abode there also. Evidently a small insect alighting on such a nest would at­ tract only the smaller inhabitants, but a severe jolt would bring out the shock troops in defense. Both of these ants were new to science and never have been found again. Finding a Rare: Ant. Often ant hunters get as big a thrill from a successful search for a rare ant as a big game hunter from the capture of giraffes or elephants. There is about as much physical exertion in­ volved, too, turning over thousands of stones and logs, digging Into the earth, chopping hard wood, and peeling bark from innumerable dead trees. , Luck infrequently plays an im­ portant part. In 1901 Father Schmitt, a Jesuit missionary, sent to the great myrmecologist, Forel, of Switzerland, a single specimen of a new and ex­ traordinary ant from Haiti. Forel de­ scribed it and named the genus after his good friend, Carol Emery of Bologna, and the species after the Jesuit (Emeryella scbmitti). This lone specimen was long the only representa­ tive of its kind in qpllections. In Haiti at the end of a month’s work a student found one solitary worker along a roadside. He had no fine-tooth comb with him, but for two months he tried every other method he knew of to discover the nest of more of the workers. Finally he re­ ported to his teacher In zoology that,- as far as be could make out, the species was now extinct and he had captured the last survivor on the island. Then one evening he went for a stroll just before dinner and noticed on-the path a millipede, or thousand- legger, moving in an unnatural way. Bending over, he saw that the milli­ pede was dead and was being carried by an ant, The ant was EmeryeUa! It took all of his strength of char­ acter to keep from seizing both ant and prey at once, but he smoked his pipe as calmly as he could and watched the ant till it leisurely entered a small hole at one side of a flat stone. When - the stone was turned over, there was an entire colony of some sixty workers. Later, in the same locality, he found a similar colony, and specimens of these have now been dis­ tributed to all the Important ant col­ lections In museums all over the world, No Female of the Species. There. were no females In either nest ; so it is’ not improbable that , this 'sjjteies"jacks, a/ special' female, and fliaf one .of th'e workers functions as ah'egg-layer. * At night tliere came to light in the student’s quarters a red­ dish ant, which from its general char­ acter was assumed to be the male of the species. He had talked about Emeryella schmitti so much that it became well known to the scant white population of the island under the name of “Mary Ella Schmitt,” and when be finally reported its discovery there was a great' celebration among his fellow Americans, railroad men vacationing at Port-au-Prince. Another missionary priest, Pere Salle, had sent to the Museum In Paris from Haiti a curious nest of veg­ etable fiber, not unlike a wasp’s nest. A scientist, while rummaging about among the specimens, found it and tapped It on a piece of white paper. Several dead and dried ants dropped out They belonged to the genus Macromlscha, the most exquisitely formed of the ants and with beauti­ ful metallic coloration — purples, greens, and reds. The genus is inter­ esting, too, because it alone of the ants of the West Indies has developed into numerous species. About thirty are known from Cuba alone. At the Mina Carlota, In the Sierra de Trinidad of Cuba, an ant hunter at­ tempted to turn over a large rock to see what was living underneath. The rock-split in the middle, and therej- in the very center, was a half teaspoon of brilliant green metallic ants glisten­ ing In the sunshine. They proved to be an unknown species of this genus; Fire Ant Is a Stinger. The fire ant (Solenopsis geminata) is such a good traveler. that one va­ riety or another is found throughout the warmer parts of the earth. It gets its name from the painful, burn­ ing sting it can inflict A colony con­ tains vast numbers of workers. They have recently been reported as doing great damage to young quail In the southeastern states. The birds, in­ capable of defending themselves, are stung to death. Flre ants nest In almost any kind of locality and are extremely prolific. Even floods cannot daunt ti'e fire ant, for it has been reported in Brazil that when the water rises and washes out a colony, the ants form a ball, queen and brood in the middle, and this liv­ ing ball floats away to a tree or to higher ground. The tailor ant (Oecophylla smarag- dina) and a few other ants (Polyrhn- chls) are unique among all the earth’s creatures, so far as is known, in that they use their young as tools in nest construction. Few adult insects spin silk, but the larvae of many have this ability to enclose themselves In silken cocoons, from which they will later emerge a* fully formed adults. Oecophylla utilizes this accomplishment of its young In making its nests. Scientists have often torn one of the leaves that form its box-shaped nest and then watched the proceedings. * At first there is a wild sortie on the part of the_ants, ail In fighting mood. They cannot sting, but they bite annoy­ ingly. After they have given up try­ ing to find and destroy the Intruder, worker ants seize larvae in their mandibles and bring them to the dam­ aged portions. Other workers seize the edges of the leaves and pull them together, while those with the larvae pass them back and forth, stimulating the grub to exude silk, whlbh sticks and holds the pieces of the leaves to­ gether After their silk has been used for the common good, the luckless larvae have to 9leep naked!

It is such a 'sensible custom to serve a luncheon at a regular meal hour Instead of refreshments atv an hour, which , will be so near dinner time that appetite is lost Another good reason for serving beforehand is that most women feel It necessary to get home before the children’s supper hour, and when there is a distance to be traveled, they are'anxious to leave as soon as the game is over.

King Edward the Eighth, now sol­ emnly proclaimed king, will be re­ membered as the first king of England that ever flew through the air toward the throne. He took a sep­ arate oath “to respect the Church of Scot­ land." There Is hard fighting back of that. Edward th e Eighth will mount the A rthnr Brisbane fhrone fo r the first time at a joint session of the lords and commons, and solemnly promise to “maintain the true in­ tent of your enactments to the best of my powers." After his coronation the king must formally declare his adherence to the Protestant church, and his ob­ ligation “never to marry a Roman Catholic." That dates back to the Stuarts. King Edward, who is not sup­ posed to contemplate marriage, is the official head of the churches of England and Scotland, and “defend­ er of the faith.” From all the world, "subjects” of the new king and emperor send greetings. Representatives of di­ vine power, churches of every re­ ligion, Mohammedan, Hindu, Bud­ dhist Chinese, Christian and Jew­ ish, speed the dead king on his journey and welcome the new ruler. If the soldiers get their bonus money there will be some quick spending, enough to quicken the pulse of business while it lasts. Merchants will get more than $600,000,000 owing on past accounts, and the observer will notice many new overcoats, dresses and automo­ biles. At the opening of New York’s 53,500,000 memorial erected to honor the late Theodore Roosevelt, one speaker praised President Theodore Roosevelt as one who “saw the necessity for keeping both the legis­ latures and the courts in their prop­ er places.” That perception showed a high spirit, but if some future Theodore Roosevelt should go too far In that direction it might become neces­ sary for the legislatures and the courts to keep that President in his proper place. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard says this country expects to escape the next war, but Europe plans to drag us in. Besides air bombing and poi­ son gas, General Bullard expects in the next war attacks with disease germs to spread deadly epidemics in the enemy’s country. Bubonic plague, scattered from airplanes, in­ fected rats scattered plentifully, might be helpful. Sometimes literature pays. Kip­ ling left several millions. In Amer­ ica alone his official publishers have sold 3,500,000 copies of his books. At the time of his death “The Jun­ gle Books” alone paid him ten thou­ sand pounds a year. When you hear foolish talk about “revolution” and getting rid of the Constitution, a remark made by Washington, as he signed the Con­ stitution, may be recalled: "Should the states reject this ex­ cellent Constitution, the probabil­ ity is that an opportunity will never again offer to cancel another In peace—tiie next will be drawn In blood.” Mrs. Aiinda french of SL Louis, one hundred and four years old, at­ tributes her long life to “hard work in her youth and a dutiful son In her old age.” She gets along with­ out spectacles; is “not Interested” -In politics. “People get over that,” says she, “after they reach one hun­ dred."

By EDWARD W. PICKARD ® Western Newspaper Union. GEORGE V, king of Great Britain and emperor of India, died In Sandringham house, peacfolly and painlessly, In his seventy-first year, im­ mediately on his pass­ ing, his eldest son, Ed­ ward Albert, Whofbad been prince of Wales, succeeded to the throne, which by Brit­ ish law, is never va­ cant. Next morning the state council, con­ sisting of the queen and her four sons, which had been creat­ ed by a decree which George signed a few hours before his death, proclaimed the accession of the new ruler as Edward VIII. His first official act was to notify the lord mayor of London of his father’s demise. King George, who had been on the throne almost twenty-five years, was the best loved and most democratic of the world’s monarehs, always just, so­ licitous for the welfare of his subjects, and living a simple and almost fault­ less domestic and official life. The new king, a confirmed bachelor, knows his vast empire Intimately, having visited practically every part of it, some re­ gions many times. Decidedly different from his father in'his tastes and ways of life, he still, as the prince of Wales; has been a great favorite of the peo­ ple, and In recent years, realizing that he would soon have to mount the throne, he steadied down and took an increasing interest in the affairs of the empire. He is especially liked by the laboring classes, in whose welfare he often has shown deep sympathy. That he never married has been a dis­ appointment to the British people. Now for the first time since the reign of William IV there Is no prince of Wales. Next in the line of succession is the king’s brother, the duke of York, and second comes the duke’s little daugh­ ter, Princess Elizabeth. There will be six months or more of official mourn­ ing for George’s death, and Edward VIII will not be ■crowned for about one year. The body of the dead ruler jvas re­ moved from Sandringham bouse to the little church of St. Mary Magdalene In Sandringham. Thence It was to be taken to Westminster abbey, there to He In state. Interment is to be in the Albert Memorial chapel at Windsor, beside the tombs of George’s father and mother. THE New Deal’s substitute for the unconstitutional AAA, a bill em­ powering the sacretary of agriculture to pay farmers who co-operate volun­ tarily In a program of soil conservation, was introduced in congress by Senator John B. Bankhead, Democrat, and Representative Marvin Jones. Demo­ crat, Texas. The bill was referred to a sen­ ate subcommittee.. The members of the sub­ committee doubted the constitutionality _ of the new measure Wallace and directed Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to write a new bill. The bill rejected by the committee stated as its purposes: ’ I. Preservation and improvement of coil fertility. 2. Promotion of the economic use of land. 3. Diminution of exploitation and unprofitable use of national soil re­ sources. 4. Provision for and maintenance of a continuous and stable supply of agri­ cultural commodities adequate to meet domestic and foreign consumer re­ quirements at prices fair to both pro­ ducers and consumers. 5. Re-establishment and maintenance of farm purchasing power. Secretary Wallace was requested to write a new act that would provide a plan of co-operation with each of the 48 states, and set up a permanent pro­ gram on AAA policies, Chairman Smith, Democrat, said. Saying he spoke for the committee. Smith explained: “We said In effect to Secretary Wal­ lace, ‘Make it constitutional.’ because we have the responsibility to pass it” terest owed by veterans upon loans unpaid on their certificates Is can­ celed, but there will be no refund of interest paid upon such loans. THE present federal relief program, depending principally on work re­ lief, CCC and public works, Is alone costing approximately as much as the fourfold program which went before and which embraced these three items plus direct relief which has now been returned to the states, according to a study of the relief problem and the government finances by Kendall K. Hoyt In the Analyst For immediate purposes, at least there is no prospect of much reduction In the rate of- federal expenditure, ac­ cording to Mr. Hoyt. In order to pre­ vent the states from trooping back for more relief funds the government must keep its pledge to employ the arbitrary three and one-half millions of persons which have been carried since last No­ vember principally nnder WPA and CCC. In dollar terms this means that according to budget estimates, the out­ lay for recovery and relief for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, will be al­ most the same as that for the preced­ ing fiscal year, namely, three billions In round numbers, or an average of 250 millions per month. ' It is within expectancy, therefore, that costs to the country will reach a new high unless economic conditions im­ prove more rapidly than can now be foreseen. APPARENTLY “authentic” adminis­ tration sources are credited, ac­ cording to Democrats in congress, with a report that Jesse Jones, RPC chair­ man, may become sec­ retary of the treasury. It was said that Henry Morgenthau, present1 secretary of the treas­ ury, may be made con­ fidential adviser to the President. One congressman, who keeps abreast of developments in gov­ ernment financial cir­ cles, said he was rea- sonably sure tbe change already has received some con-' sideration from President Roosevelt. Another added that it was “a 100-to-l shot that It is under consideration.’’ The reports were discounted to some extent, however, by the fact that the President has just renominated Jones for two more years as chairman of the Reconstruction Finance corporation. One Democratic representative ar­ gued that on the basis of his past record Jones could carry into the treas­ ury the respect and confidence of both big business and “the man in the street.” He. described the RFC chair­ man as sufficiently liberal to command the support of liberal elements and yet not leaning so far In that direction as to alarm conservatives. Jesse Jones P REMIER NESSIM PASHA, weary * of his job since the anti-British riots started November 13, has handed the resignation of his cabinet to King Fuad L The resignation was accepted. Nessim found It exhausting to keep an equilibrium between the conflicting forces of the throne, the British resi­ dency, the nationalists and their com­ patriots. But the final blow, dealt him by the British government at London, was the thinly veiled ultimatum to Egyptian Nationalism, in the form of verbal instructions for negotiations for an AngIi-Egyptian treaty. The sting to Egyptian pride was in the warning that if the present negotiations fail, the British consider their hands will be free and will revise their Egyptian policy. Something unpleasant is bound to start somewhere on the earth, with all the new theories, new hatreds, new armaments, new deadly weapons. It might start on the bor­ der between Russia and Japan’s Manchukuo. When you read, “Rus­ sia uses force to halt Japanese." you know the explosion might come at any time.

Lately, however, headline hunting, as a pastime, took an awful blow on the chin. And when headline hunting was -the recipient of a flare-back from Its own devices, It caught' two well-known senate figures In the whirlpool of the reaction. Probably one of the senators was largely responsible for the terrific explosion that took place and he caught the full force and effect of his own statements as they came in re­ verse gear. The incident to which I refer oc­ curred in connection with the Investi­ gation of munitions makers and bank- .ers by Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota, and the special commit­ tee of which he is chairman. This In­ vestigation has gone on for some fifteen months and has cost approximately $193,000, $68,000 of which came out of funds appropriated to feed the hungry of New York city. It has disclosed some questionable practices by some of the small dealers In munitions. But as a whole, I believe the consensus In Washington is that Mr. Nye’s investiga­ tion, called a fishing expedition by many newspaper correspondents, has added little or nothing of a construc­ tive character.• « * Once before in these columns I re­ ported to you how Senator Nye was proceeding about theThe Great country making Flare-Back speeches In which he charged munitions makers- and international bankers and even aircraft and shipbuilders with be­ ing .instrumental in promoting war. Indeed, he asserted numerous times that bankers and munitions makers had forced the United States into the World war. He and investigators, em­ ployed by the committee, were con­ stantly engaged in telling capital cor­ respondents of terrible things which the investigators had dug up while they mulled through private files of banks and business houses. These brought plenty of headlines, but now that the munitions Investigation is vir­ tually over, one . can hardly agree In making a fair appraisal of the com­ mittee’s work that the charges ;have been substantiated. Senator Nye is an advocate of peace and he had many opportunities, there­ fore, to appear In the roll of a peace leader In speeches before various or­ ganizations interested. It developed, however, that he received honoraria, gifts of money or fees, for the speeches. But to get back to the headline hunt­ ing and how it flared back, the climax of the munitions inquiry was the in­ vestigation of the gigantic New York financial house of. J. P. Morgan and company. It was while the Morgan partners were on the witness stand that the explosion came—and it did not involve Morgan In any way. The Incident, around which the storm blew hardest came when Senator Clark of Missouri, a Bon Of the distinguished late Speaker Clark, read into the com­ mittee record documents showing how President Wilson had diplomatically evaded informing a senate committee of the existence of treaties among the allies by which there would be a divi­ sion of the colonies of Germany and Austria-Hungary if the allies won the World war. Subsequently, documents showed that Mr. Wilson was-aware of those treaties and when this was dis­ closed, Senator Nye charged In a com­ mittee hearing that Mr. Wilson had falsified the records. There followed the explosion. Word reached the floor of the senate, then in session, and Senator Connolly, Texas Democrat, blew off the lid. He openly accused Senator Nye of besmirchine the names of Mr. Wilson and the late Secretary of State Lansing, and charged at the same time that the North Da­ kota senator was a publicity seeker Senator Clark was criticized also and the inference was cast out In the vl cious senate debate thdt the Missouri senator was indirectly biased because his father had lost the PresiaenUM nomination to Mr. Wilson in that f* mous and bitter 1912 Democratic con-' vention.

In doin« « ^ read a statem ent esnintni . theSr sltlon which, P0- the less direct in »xnru - none satisfaction. exprres^ S their dis- From their standpoint, I believe their climactic appearance as witnesses was quite fitting. The committee that had started out with bales and bales of records from which the InvesHgators were going to prove how terrible was the House of Morgan had found It was giving them a rather clean bill of health. They found that the commit­ tee, Instead of proving that they had brought on the war, was proving for the Hotise of Morgan that It bad served the United States government; that Its policies were of more value to this country than they ever had been pub­ licly shown to be before and that In the end they had enabled the govern­ ments of Great Brlthin and France to maintain their strength and fight off the Central Powers until the men and money from the United States were brought Into play. Through the long years that J. P. Morgan and company has operated In New York, the name has been synony­ mous with Wall Street. It was synony­ mous with Wall Street because dema­ gogues and those politicians who profit by baiting big business as a popular sport had created that impression. Al­ ways when it was profitable fo£ a rep­ resentative or senator to conjure up a picture to win votes for himself you could find allusions to the “mighty power of Morgan.” It will be recalled how In recent years two former senators, Broothart1 Republican of Iowa, and Heflin, Demo­ crat of Alabama, made mince meat of the “money changers of Wall Street” Always, the “money changers" were headed up by the house of Morgan. I mention these two former senators be­ cause their attacks are typical. There are those in the senate today who do the same thing and for exactly the same purposes. The committee Investigation of the House of Morgan showed that the In­ stitution had profited by acting as com­ mercial agents for the allies and that In handling about three billion dollars in purchases of wheat, cotton, coal, oil, shells and' other munitions of war for the allies, a commission of I per cent had been paid to the House of Mor­ gan. The inquiry also revealed the ex­ tent to which Morgan and company had taken bonds of the French and British governments and had sold them here. Evidence showed that aft­ er the United States entered the war, the United States government took over the job of financing those nations whose business and financial transac­ tions had been handled by the House of Morgan prior to April 6, 1917. So, the' iflunitions investigation. In­ stead of smearing the House of Mor­ gan, apparently has told for the first time the details of how it functioned during a period when the United States government could do nothing, a period when the vast majority of our citizens were proved to have been sym­ pathetic wtih the allies against the central powers. • * » At the outset I said this investiga­ tion had flared back on its sponsors. , Time alone will tellSenatorial how significant this inquiries explosion has been, and time alone dis­ close whether it will have the effect of reducing the number of senatorial ex­ cursions into the affairs of private business. The senate has vast powers and they are susceptible to abuse. There are many unbiased students of government wiio hold the conviction that there have been unwarranted investigations by the senate and that these investi­ gations amount to persecution of,.pri­ vate business. Obviously, some in­ quiries have turned up real dirt. Take the oil scandal that came out of the Harding administration, for example. The facts In that conspiracy probably never would have been disclosed ex­ cept for the vigorous job done by the late Senator Walsh, Montana Demo­ crat There are other Illustrations of the truth of the statement that some investigations are valuable.. On the other hand, it seems to me that head­ line hunting as such, represents a game somewhat outside of the rules of fair play. If the bitter feeling that was. devel­ oped from the situation centering around President Wilson’s war-time ac­ tions serves as a lesson for the future I feel sure that there will be fewer sen­ atorial inquiries. It shows, or ought to show, that there should be some basis established before a senate committee goes whole hog after the hides of any business men, whether they be great or small. © Western Newspaper Union.

I’ve never yet met a man who wouldn’t believe anything charming and delightful about himself that any woman might tell him. B ut I’ve seen many a man try to bamboozle a wom­ an and fail because he laid it on too thick.” This was asked of a woman w riter of note, who replied as fol­ lows: I think our reader has hit upon an im portant truth in the relationship of the sexes. I do not doubt for one moment that women like adm iration as much as men—that is admiration from the other sex. Indeed I believe this is In a way p. more im portant factor w ith women than with men. By that I mean that while men may “eat up” adm iration from the other sex, th at Is not the motivating factor of their Interest In them ; while with some women delight in masculine adm ira­ tion is largely the root of their enjoy, ment of the society of the other sex. But—women are not so “easy” as men. A homely woman does not easily accept a man’s Insistence that she is beautiful, but many a bald, fat man has been convinced he is an Adonis. Women can be flattered, but it has to be done more subtly. Therefore the man who is wise will look for the “good points” which in some form or other are possessed by every woman, and concentrate on them, rather than attem pt to endow her with charms which she realizes are not hers. It is not that women like flattery less, but they haye more difficulty than men In putting entirely to sleep their intelligence and common sense] © Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.

Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s , Well - Being to Unknown Preparations BEFORE you take any prepara­ tion you don’t know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it — in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin. ( We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were ad­ vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Agiirin yqgr in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at any drug store — simply by never asking for it by the name “aspirin” alone,-but always saying BAYER. ASPIRIN when you buy.

FLAME IN THE FOREST By HAROLD TITUS Illustrations by Irwin Myers Copyright by H arold Titus. WNU Service. SYNOPSIS K erry Young, a lad of seven, is pre­ pared to flee the burning lum ber camp of hfs benefactor. Jack Snow, who took . the youngster to live w ith him a t the death of K erry's m other. Tod W est has instructed ICerry to come w ith a file containing the cam p's funds should it be endangered. Flam es attack the of­ fice, and K erry, hugging the precious file, and Tod race to tow n. Tod acts queerly. A t the bank the file is found em pty and K erry is blam ed w ith taking the wrong one. Snow, his headquarters and money gone, is ruined, and soon thereafter dies, leaving K erry to the Poor Commissioner. K erry suspects Tod and sw ears to even the score, In a St. Paul office K erry, now in manhood, and an expert woodsman, learns of the w hereabouts of W est. K erry rescues a lovely girl from a scoundrel, who proves to be W est. Tod threatens to pauperize the girl. Nan Downer. CHAPTER III—Continued “Smart,” echoed Young, and looked down at her. Her face was averted and a flush stained her cheeks. “Whatever a girl says to a stranger - who has helped her out of a situation that’s at once uncomfortable and, per­ haps, dangerous . . . .whatever is to be said, I should say to you." She was lighting desperately for self-control. “I . . . I’m very grateful. Is there more to be said?” "That wasn’t necessary,’’ he replied. "Not even that . . . It was quite a privilege to throw Tod !Vest into the river.” He reached out to take the line from Tip. “Good dog,” he muttered. “Go ashore and shake.” The girl had turned toward him. “You know Tod West?” “A long time ago I thought I did. And for a good many years I’ve won­ dered how well anyone In that country knew him. But just on suspicion. It was good to upset him. I believe,” he added, “that he ruined the best friend I shall ever have.” “So I’m not the first! Afterallthat he’s seemed! to be with us, he has a past, has he? . . . And a future too, perhaps,”—bitterly. “I took it, from his parting shot, that he had some deviltry afoot.” “Deviltry I”—In an angered whisper. “Was It just because I happened along and took a hand that he’s go­ ing to make you a. pauper?” She shook her head. “No. That was settled- before you came. It was after I wouldn’t . . . wouldn’t barter ■myself to save my property that he seemed to lose his head; that he be­ came quite something else from what we’ve always thought him to be.” The boat grated on sand and Kerry sat down, looking hard at her. “I have a particular and peculiar in­ terest in this bird. A man doesn't change, yon.know; if he’s a rascal to­ day, he was yesterday; If he is today, be will be tomorrow.” . . “Do you mind telling a stranger what this West’s game is? I don’t want to pry, but—’’ “You’re not prying. It is little enough for me to tell you. I’m in your debt, you know. . . Yours and Tod West’s!” - She stretched one pac-clad foot so the warm sun could dry it better and appeared to ponder on where to begin. “It’s better to give you the whole picture, I suppose. I’m Nan Downer. I came into this country four years ago witli my father. Maybe you’ve heard of him? Cash Downer? No?” She sighed. “Well, w* bought on contract West’s mill below here and the big tract of mixed timber to the north of the river. My father had a new idea in the utili­ zation of forest resources. He had felt for a long time that the things we’d considered by-product of such prop­ erties were, perhaps, almost as big money makers as the timber itself, handled rightly. I -mean, recreational’ .facilities. f "This is probably the'liest big tract of the northern hardwoods that is left. There’s fish , and game in abundance! My father laid a very careful plan . Io interest a group of wealthy men in buying locations up here for their ' hunting and fishing clubs. They were to own their various parcels but were to give up the privilege of selectively logging on their, descriptions over a long period. I “But to show these prospects what would be left after we’d done this se­ lective cutting necessitated considera­ ble ;of an operation with higher costs, , In the beginning, and a reduced In! come. In other words, our project was rJTsIow starter and we didn’t have suf- - ficlent capital to be very safe. -■ ' “We kept the mill running, though, did our cutting In several types of ' stands and. last year were just getting ready to show some’prospects what we'had to offer.' , , “My father had sunk all the cash ’ fie tyad In the down payment. It was hard work getting the annual payments together but he had managed It- Last November r another payment was due and we were- going to be able - to meet it. Then, one November night, my fa­ ther was killed and the moDey he was bringing out to pay to Tod West was stolen.” “Murdered, you mean?” "Murdered," slie said lowly and paused. “That, of course, put the un­ dertaking in a bad way. Just now It’s very difficult to refinance a tim­ ber operation of any sort; also it’s hard to find men with money to spend on their expensive toys, which is what these camps will amount to, if and when the plan develops. Tod West seemed very sympathetic, though, and told me to take my time and that he wouldn’t see me lose. - “But this summer he commenced to bint and then to ask and then to crowd. He has other timber. He has had to stop a big pulp operation be­ low because of the market. He needs money. I am doing my best to in­ terest prospects and get the cash to­ gether to pay him but so far I haven’t had much luck. , . . “And then today he followed me up here and said . . . said that if I would marry him he would forget that—” She bit her lip and stopped. Young drew a hand slowly along one thigh. It was a gesture almost of satisfaction and he nodded slowly. “That checks with the guess I’ve had . . . as to the sort of bird he really Is. “When you wouldn’t agree to that?” The girl gave a shuddering shrug. “You saw a part of it. He seemed to go insane and then I realized that all along, for months, perhaps for years, he’s been . . . well, thinking things about me. “Where were you, anyhow, that you saw?" “Op above. At the head of the rapid. I was just going to—” “But you didn’t carry? Why,”— startled — “you mean you ran Dead Bear?” “If that’s what you call the rapid, I did.” He laughed at the aston­ ishment in her eyes. “You ran that water to help me, a stranger?" His laughter rose higher. “I’d have swum it to help anybody if I’d known Tod West was the party making trouble!” “Then you must have known him far better than most people here do." “Quite a figure, is he?” She considered. “A . . . a king, in this country! He owns most of it. Most of the people in it are depend­ ent on him, in one way or another. He isn’t a man to take lightly.” “Then I sure am glad It was the Mad Woman I picked out this sum­ mer !” The girl eyed him curiously. “You’re Just going through, then? Your objective wasn’t near here?” “I had no objective when I put in. Now, I have. . . . I’ve a question I want answered. When Tve done that, then perhaps I can go on.” He rose. “You’re shy an oar, aren’t you?” he asked, glancing at the one In tbe boat’s bottom. He turned to Tip, licking himself ashore. “Here, boy!” The dog leaped up attentively. Young picked up the one oar. “Oar gone, boy I Fetch the oar I” He waved a hand down­ stream and the dog, rigid, eyed him a moment. On the second command, however, he plunged into the stream, head high, searching the surface. Kerry was conscious, as he stood there watching Tip go'about his er­ rand that the girl’s eyes were on him. He turned and perceived a look of ad­ miration on her face. “There! He’s found it!” Nan cried. Tip was straining back through the screen of low hanging alder branches, blade of the oar In his jaws. “It you’re going to stay on here,” she said, “we’d be glad to put you up. We have accommodations for fisher­ men, you know. It’s part of our job. That’s why I’m here, now. Two of our prospects are fishing, the beaver pond up the creek,”—nodding toward a small tributary which debouched above them, “ib at is why I happened to be here.” “Nice of you. But I’ve my tent. Shingles and windows bother me.” He drew his canoe close to the skiff as Tip approached. “The latch string will be out, though. I . , . Please believe that Tm truly thankful for all you’ve done.” ’ Kerry remarked as he stepped into his canoe that the flush lingered in her face; also, that the high color became her superbly. CHAPTER IV He went on, then, pondering the vagaries of chance which had guided today’s encounter, after all these years, under such particular circumstances. So West was respected, was he? A king, the girl had said. But the sort who will press low advantage. And if he, Kerry Young, lingered a while In this vicinity, he might find a satis­ factory answer to the question which had been with him since that day Jack Snow went to ruin. An hour later he made out buildings below. First was a log structure, Iow- eaved and wid?roofed with a screened porch and automobiles parked In its clearing. Not a club, not a loggjng camp. It must be Nan’s establishment, he decided. , . On below he discerned the screened stack of a mill and the- song of the saw came harshly to his ears. A rail­ road trestle spanned the river, joining the small group of buildings around- the mill to- another, larger settlement, witlk^many humble habitations, one pretentious house of peeled logs, a box­ car depot and several stores; He went still further-down, landed In a clump- of - poplars and set about making camp. He worked adeptly and within an amazingly short time had his tent - up," bed made,: firewood chopped and nfSS casting a fly deli­ cately for trout that began to rise, as the sun touched the tops of swamp timber to the westward.” He shared his supper with Tip. washed his few Ilislies in the stream, scouring them bright with sand, drew on a jacket which matched his shirt and breeches of forester’s green and lighting a straight-stemmed pipe, and for a time watched the afterglow fade. “You watch camp, Tip,” he said as he rose abruptly. “We’ll go see . . . wha’t we can see!” He launched his canoe, paddled across and up the murmuring river and landed under the bank where yel­ low lights showed through the gath­ ering darkness. The white front of the town’s-larg­ est store loomed above and be stood outside a brief interval, looking about. This was the heart of Tod West’s do­ minion, West’s Landing by name. It was here that the man had established himself as a king, here lie, perhaps, had laid the foundations for a king­ dom on the money that he had taken from Jack Snow by ruthlessly clever theft. He drew a deep breath and en­ tered the place. The store was well filled. An Indian was buying grub and stuffing his pur­ chases into a pack-sack; a bearded man was trying on shoes: before the small post office wicket two men and a little gi.-l awaited the deliberate service of the beefy-faced man within. In the rear, a stud game was in prog­ ress. Kerry’s eyes picked out these details quickly and then fastened on the back of the one card player whose face, at least in part, was not revealed to him. The man was Tod West. Several loungers watched the game and as Young leaned idly against the counter two of them left and came toward him. 1 “.Tim shouldn’t be in there,” one mut­ tered. “Hell, no!” his companion agreed. “You can bet your life if I had a kid “You Ban That Water to Help Me. a Stranger?” In the shape his is, I wouldn’t be stackin' up what -little I had against a lucky dog like Tod.” Their talk was broken, then, as both greeted another entrant. The taller man resumed; “Doc’s out now, ain’t he?” The other nodded. “Over at Jim’s. They sent for Jim but he put ’em off. Hell bent stayin’ In the game. He’s been losin’, lately, ’nd seems to be havin’ a run of luck again. Wants to get even, I expect” Young lounged toward the rear and took up a position against the wall, behind and to one side of West’s chair. Five were in the game! West was dealing and talked as he distributed- the cards. “An ace to you, a nine to you, a deuce for Jimmy, a jack for Sawyer and a nine to the dealer . . . which lets him out!” His voice was good-humored, toler­ ant, the sort of voice that wins the confidence of men. Always, that had been characteristic, Young thought Back yonder through the years, men had liked the then young Tod West Jack Snow had trusted him implicitly. . . . He folded his hand, now, and awaited the betting. One of the play­ ers chanced a dollar, his companion called, Jim raised five and the man, Sawyer, dropped out The five was called by both the others but Jim won and gathered in tbe pot with significant eagerness. “Good lad, Jimmy!” West rumbled. “You’ve'been losin’ lately ; always like to see losers catch up I” , The deal went clear around. Young noticed that West played shrewdly, with a hard calculation beneath^ his easy talk. The stakes were not large, but he had the manner of a man who Is playing for the winnings rather than for the enjoyment of the game._ The deal had come back to West. The hole cards were going out. “All heavy!” he chuckled. “All heavy cards In the hole, boys! Everybody’s going to have Tuck this hand.. .. Luck of one kind -or' another!” And be dealt himself from the bot­ tom ! ■ v • A sharp, chilling thrill ran Young’s body. He looked at the other watch­ ers, at the players, studying the face of each. None had detected that move. “And here we come,” West went on. “Here we come, lads! CJomlng out with a seven and next a ten-spot and a queen for Sawyer. . . ." The car(j3- fllpped from his hand toward their ap­ pointed places, turning In the air -to fall face upward and Kerry, watching closely, saw that he was “second” deal! ”£ The top card of the deck never i vatnS I aek and !forth It slid J f f iS ,,eV’ glvmB the Illusion rlgh*on top* ‘ “ remaiDed there- IAgain Young studied those faces about the table. Sycophants, most of them; 'they Wore fixed grins as Tod West kept up his talk. Their interest was on what he said, not on what be did. “Wbat, Sawyer? A whole buck on the queen? Let’s see, now . . . Hum,” —peeking at his hole card. “Well, I’ve got just enough here to string along.” He came In -for bis dollar and again called the cards he turned and once more that top card kept sliding back and forth over its changing neighbors. Three cards in each hand were face up, then. Again Sawyer bet his queen, tossing In a five-dollar bill from the little pile of money before him. “Now, I’ll help build a pot for you, Sawyer.” said West. “Leave it to old Tod! There’s a five-spot But don’t put too much faith In women. I’m tollin’-you, don’t trust ’em or bet too high on-’em!” He chuckled but there was no mirth In the sound, Kerry thought. He judged that Sawyer had another queen In the hole; he was the aggressor and a bit too aggressive for a man with only the high card showing. No pair was in sight; the queen dominated the board. Before Tod West were exposed an innocuous four and five and nine- spot of ihree suits. Jim Hinkle and another had dropped out. “So we spin ’em for the fiDal heat,” drawled West. "We drop a jack to you,. neighbor, and Sawyer catches himself a six and I . . . Take a look! I draw myself a large ball of fire!” The top card had finally dropped. It was the ace of didmonds and Kerry straightened slowly. West’s hole card had been dealt from the bottom; sure­ ly, it was another ace! !‘Now, with this large ace showin’, it. puts the bet to me, I take it. . . . Hum. . . . Sawyer, you got a queen showin’ ’nd you been proud of her. I wonder what else, if.any, you’ve got.', . . . But this old ace of mine . . . Now, It’d be a downright Insult to bet less ’n ten dollars.” The tourist folded and Sawyer eyed Tod’s hand. He was breathing just a bit rapidly, Kerry noted, and fingered his remaining bills in a manner which proved him ill at ease. “But me, I got only eight bucks left, Tod,” he said. “Then I’d be pretty sure I had some­ thin’ before I used’ em. Honest, Saw­ yer,”—with a grin—“I’d stay out until I was sure I had)’em.” But that was no sincere advice. It was a goading, an invitation, a chal­ lenge. He knew his man. “All right! For the eight, then. Call!” Sawyer shoved in his money and turned his hole card. “Pair!” he said, showing the second queen, and leaned forward. “I warned you,” chuckled West “I told you to stay out ,All along, J had him." He turned the ace of clubs. The man rubbed his ehin. “Well,” he said, “guess T better. That cleans me out, as the feller said. It just ain’t my night, I guess.” “So yon’re leavln’ us flat Sawyer!” put in West. “Four handed’s not so good. Anybody else want to try his luck just to keep tbe game goin’?” “It’s too rich for my blood!” a youth giggled. “Anybody else? Last call!" He looked up and around, grin­ ning, and the grin changed, ran into a stiff sort of grimace as Kerry Young moved out from his position against the wall. “If the game’s open," he said, “I don’t mind trying my luck now and again.” Eyes were on him, not on Tod; so the group missed one half the exchange of glances which followed. Emotion chased emotion across the older man’s eyes: surprise, hatred, chagrin and a malevolent .sort of inspiration; one after the other they flickered against those gray depths. “Why, sure,” Tod said but could not keep the grudging quality from his tone. Young moved, then, to the chair just vacated by Sawyer, seated Jiimself and. thrusting a. hand Inside his shirt, drew a packet of bills from his money belt A change had come over -the place. The onlookers had ceased their idle talk; the two fishermen from Nan Downer’s eyed Young appraisingly and Tod West, shoving the deck to the dealer, Ughted a cigar with a hand which was not just steady, ■ A change come over the play, too. Of a sudden, It was more Intent a sea­ soning of savagery in the betting put there by West’s sudden silence and the sharpness of his gestures. / Kerry played cautiously. His inck was not good. GJhrough the first half dozen deals he stayed only once after the second card. Jim Hinkle, at his left, lost repeatedly and, losing, his tension increased. In a new game, a strange game, a man with wit -watches everything. So Young watched this game. His eyes never left Tod West’s hands as the man dealt but despite the fact that he detected nothing to arouse sus­ picion there he passed tens, back to back, and let JIm Hinkle fight it out with. West. JimJost again and, thumb­ ing his bills, muttered savagely: - “Back where I started tonight,” - Kerry stayed for the first ttme.' He won: and laughed. He had won with of spades, his hole that 4 corner- He remarked West began to’ talk again, making an I n ilnI, a^ mpt t0 resume his banter which had been soured by Young’s an- pearance. ■ He succeeded badly tie Wnnlld1^ inkle cla3hed again; Hln- S 6J 1S A. few “ oments later, he lost most of what he had gained.

Find 800-Year-Old “Bowl” Where Games Were Played Discovery of a large oval “bowl” where prehistoric America’s exciting games were playe'd 800 years ago is announced at Flagstaff, Ariz., by Dr. Harold S. Colton of the Museum of Northern Arizona. The discovery, pronounced amaz­ ing, was made in northern Arizona near Flagstaff, by a joint expedition of the Museum and Arizona State Teachers College of Flagstaff, led by J. C. McGregor. The find surprises archeologists, be­ cause never before has It bqen real­ ized that ball games—national sport of Mayas, Aztecs, and other Indians of Mexico—were popular over so wide an area of ancient America. The game court now excavated Is an oval bowl about 100 feet long and 45 feet wide, with slightly pointed ends. The sloping sides, Doctor Col­ ton said, must have been seven or eight feet high, and tbe floor was level. A goal was made of four rocks In the floor.—Science Service. McIntyre Sees 1936 as Yeaf of Super-Thrills Thevyear 1936 Is going to be one of super-thrills and vast excitements. The most exciting, I firmly believe, we shall ever live through. Old na­ tions may die and new nations may be born. Europe may ,be in flames, and unless we watch our step-, we may find ourselves tinder In the con­ suming blaze. I’d like to be the medium of trans­ parency for a little-more sweetness and light but I don’t like the looks of things. To me it’s a black picture and the only consolement I can offer Is that I’m usually wrong.—0. O. McIntyre'in Cosmopolitan.

Make So Many Laws They Can’t Count ’Em The Aatiiinistrator for Industrial Re­ covery, during the first year of the life of -the Xationai Industrial Recovery Act issued about 3,000 administrative orders approving or modifying codes and covering other activities under the operation of tliht law. A special com. mlttee of the American Bar Associa- tlon reported that in addition to the 3,000 administrative orders during that- year, numerous regulations were to be found among about 6,000 press re­ leases.. During the second year of the Na tionnl Industrial Recovery Act so many thousands of administrative orders and regulations of various kinds were ts- sued tliiit the officials confess their inability-either to estimate the total or to segregate them In groups. The American .Itnr Association committee estimated that the NIlA alone produced more than 10,000 pages of administra­ tive “law” in a single year. Chief Justice Marshall’s Tax Warning Rings True Chief Justice'. John Marshall wrote a hundred years ago that “the power to tax involves the power to destroy.” His statement of principle remains true. Hence, one wonders today what the aim of those brain trusters In i!Washington Is -when they propose a steady stream of bills to Congress, each containing some form of taxa­ tion. Some think that the taxing pow­ er Is utilised to make legislation con­ stitutional when it otherwise would not be. Whaterer the purpose, the in­ clusion of taxes In this manner char­ acterizes most of the New Deal legis­ lation and means additional costs to every citizen. - N otice of Sale!

We had been threatened for weeks with a visit from the powers that be from Raleigh, and Wins­ ton and Salisbury. We were de­ termined to do every thing that we knew and that any one else knew to make a hit with those women. Accordingly, on New Year’s morn ing. one of our accomodating men friends crossed our threshold before we dared to enter. We cooked our pot of peas iu the work room, and realized too late that we had omit­ ted the dime. The atlendant cala­ mity which that oversight might have caused was remedied by cross­ ing our fingers when we ate the peas. We thank Mrs. Marsh Horn far loaning iis the saucers and spoons. Every afternoon we swept tbe dirt just a little further under the counters, and placed the very best and prettiest garments on the tops of the various piles. Having thus fortified ourselves, we. resum­ ed our nomal routine and awaited in suspense the dav of doom. It came. And as per scheduleat the most inopportune unexpected time. Not one cob web, not one grain of dirt escaped those Xray eyes. We know now why they have they have their jobs And would you believe it? They passed those beautiful and perfect garments on top with a casual glance (those women have bought peaches and strawberries in the crate roo many times to be fooled) and delved to the bottom, bringing up the only dress in- which the hem was not up to standard; the only boy’s suit on which the pockets had not been placed with a corpenter’s square. (One of the workers told the supervisor later that she felt so sorry for her, she thought she was going to faint!) Not one of our skeletons but was brought out into the open and and dusted. We recovered quick­ ly, rallied our forces, remembered our manners, and invited them to sit and visit in our nice easy chairs around our fire for a friendly visit. (Have you ever tested a goods box f jf its merits in lieu for a chair? It is wondeful especially if upholster­ ed with a pillow stuffed with scraps. But for pure solid comfort we re commend kegs Just plain nail kegs.) iJndsr such auspicious cir cumstances even the most austere afficial must thaw oat. They did, said a few kind words, gave num­ erous orders and departed. Wegot busy immediately bn some of those orders, and now our room has lovely green print draperies at all of the windows, and heavy curtains all across the back of tbe room, behind which fuel, packing cases, cleaning equipment etc., are hid. We still believe in Santa Claus, here at the end of Ian and we be­ lieve that he rides up and down the highways in a bright blue truck, and that he never passes without leaving something for which we have asked him and then some. Brand new Singersewing machines, bolts of the gaiest security ging­ ham, yards and yards of the btight- est prints, cases of outing, and even that is pretty, and the pride of lbe room —• a gorgeous black metal First-Aid ktt! Every woman has vowed her intention of running n machine needle through her finger to have the privilege of being the first to use the kit. So far the courage has been purely mental. Sight of sights! One afternoon re centIy every woman with some parp of her body all bandaged up in the most approved manner. Oh no, not even a minor accident, just the su­ pervisor and pattern cutter demon- i strating what they had learned in I First-Aid classes. . Tbev can bard T yw aitto try outthe artificial re NUMBER 3 3 for disciplinary mef’!' spiration -but have about decided to save that sures. since corporal punishment’tS frowned upon by our superiors -. Just at this point in walked ~~w' Frick. He always comes stepping in with an interesting-lookin pacM age under his arm and a smile- his face. No matter how glooii be finds us. he never fails to lea: sunshine behind. He is th e. pa master, you know. /rf, Eown Fork Church and Cooler^' mee way they are making the moL beautiful quilts and busy wit)l: gowns and dresses for the missi age. These projects are small hi quality of their work makes up the quantity of numbers. In all of the county there bat. been but one absent this period)' And she had to come down with; that becoming ailment known as mumps. The supervisor asked tljt women if they would like to write a letter to her. With one accd ‘ the answer was “Yes ” The pape was passed from machine to m l! chine and each person made Jt characteristis contribution. . . Onf to wrote “ Dear Mrs.— Iam se ing on a maceine.” For the ver first time in her life. She starteff on a slip made from tbe waste bask! et, she had it completed at the etn of a long tiresome day and the sti pervisor told her she could have i' for her baby Do you wonder a) her message?

From Raleigh ccmes the predic­ tion that the 1937 general assembly may repeal the sales tax and then turn around and re-enact it in “in visible” form, “so that the merch­ ants cannot constantly remind the public of it and thus keep sentiment stirred up against it.” The tax, in its new form would be a sort of “privilege tax” on all re­ tail merchants, based probably on 3 per cent on all their purchases from wholesalers and manufacturers on the bases of their invoices, and this levy they would be expected to pass on to their customers, coating them nothing more than the trouble they now have of acting as unpaid col­ lectors for the State of North Caro* lina. State officials continue to be much concerned over the fact that the merchant insists on concellecting the sales tax as a separate item instead of covering it up in the purchase price. Why should Governor Rh ringbaus’ sales taxers fret about a- b iut this? Are they ashamed of their pet sales tax, which they so loudly proclaim saved the schools of the «tate? Do they recognize in it a nauseating pill that because of its continued taking, -must be sugar- coated to assure its permanency as an easy revenue getter? Else why should they so earnestly covet that the public pay the tax wi hout know­ ing it?. It is pointpd out that Virginia has a sales, tax that the peoples don’t know about; that Illinois has a 3 per cent sales tax which .the merchants are not allow ed to mention, the, Su­ preme courkofthatstote-claim ine that such mention would be uncon­ stitutional.” Think of thatl It is not enough to argue that there are otber indirect taxes whicb the public generatlv doesn’t know a- bout. As a matter of fact practical­ ly every tax imposed upon industry is passed on to the consumer, either in curtailed value or increased price. The public always pays the bills in the end. in spite of the fact that in­ dustry, as represented by the big corporations, continues to cry out that it—not the public that pays—is being strangled b» excessive tolls. The staggering net earnings ap­ pearing in the year-end balance sheets of certain large industries in North Carolina indicate that they either successfully passed on govern­ ment imposed taxes to the consumer or that their profit margins are suf­ ficiently wide to make big money in spite of these tolls. Without pausing to argue for or against the justification of desirabi­ lity of a sales tax, we would remind that here is one levy at least that doesn’t sneak up on the blind side of John Q Public and gypsy the cash out of his wallet. For once let’s be honest with him, and is this tax, in vented in “emergency” must be a permanent burden, let’s not try to make it smell sweeter under another name. It might be that he doesn’t know that he is already bearing more than his share of tbe load and might resent it if this privilege to contri­ bute were denied to him.—States­ ville Daily. We have been pulling for some sort of an old-age pension plan, not necessarily, however, the Townsend plan, which seems to be a little too big for our small comprehensive powers and ways of figuring things. This newspaper holds that after a man has done 65 years of work he is entitled to rest and take life easy, re­ gardless of the fact that Jthere have been diverse conditions which pre­ clude bis having sufficient income to have enabled him to store up for the “rainy days” of old age. But we are bound to give more than passing notice to the “other side” , especially when it is presented by the nationally known editorial writer, Bruce Catton, Humanitarian thoughts prompt us more than the better business” side of the ques­ tion to be on the pro side of the old age pensioners. Bruce Catton, writing in The Hen­ dersonville News, while agreeing with our line of thought that there ought to be some provision for the Ojd people looks.at the “better busi- side like this: “Suppose that you have 10 persons earning $100 a month each. Their mass purchasing power is $ 1 0 0 0 a month. “Suppose, now, that these people aretaxed $ 1 0 a month each to pay a ’$ 1 0 0 pension to an eleventh person. Thia person now has $ 1 0 0 a month in purchasing power which he did not have before. “But it is not new purchasing pow­ er; it is offset by the $ 1 0 which has beenknecked off the monthly pur- ing power of each of the’ .other h rso n s.,^ ing power of the 1 1 is the same as that of the original 10—$1000. The gain in purchasing power is nothing “It is the same, Flynn asserts in a wider field. The Townsend plan would p u t some $19:000,000,000 worth of annual purchasing power in the hands of the aged; taxes to provide these pensions would take $19 000.000.000 in purchasing power awav from the wage-earner3. ‘ In the end, we would be right where we started. We would simply be taking in one another’s washing on a national scale.” —Bre ard Times. W o r ld P e a c e : I t ’s P r ic e .

Somewhere in • nr remote perusals we recall thi3 allegorical expression, “The more heartily -we drink., tbe sooner we reach the dregs.” What sermon there is in that brief sen­ tence I How it could be applied to so many of our shortcomings and indul- gencies! ^ We know a man who. early in his life, was left about $30 OOO in cash upon the expiration of his father. Tne young man quit school. He quit work. He bought a team of fine buggy horse as it was before the time of automobiles. He bought a fine, rubber tired, sport modi I bug­ gy. He dressed his horses up in showy harness, hitched them to his sporty rig, and hei set out to taste life in its fullest according to his own ideas of living. • He. smoked high priced cigars and cigarettes. He drank fine liquors. He gambled and lost. He spent much of his fortune on girls who gladly accepted his attentions while he was splurging about in his fine rig wearing flashy clothes and making a big show. He drank heartily” while his clip was filled. Today he is attired in the shabbiest habiliments., He lives in a house that is a tumble down shack, a remnant of his father’s estate that once housed a tenant; or laborer in his father’s business.-, He owns no kind of vehicle. He is dependant upon an occasional- common Iaboreijfs job and the assistance of the welfare department in his home county. He has reached the dregs. That is not the saddest part of the story. Before he had quite ftjn through with his|fortuneand still had enough money to carry on the show, of. luxury,. b&;niarried-a- fine girl; Two daughters’were'to.-n to them,. Their father had made no invest­ ments with any part of his. fortun.e. It was soon spent. It was exhausted before the wife or daughters could receive much benefit from any part of it. The mother has managed to keep her daughters in schobl and they have helped too by working at odd hours; but they all have had to share the dregs whicb were reached too soon. The mother and the daugh­ ters can not take their places in so­ ciety with the people of their class. To make it all the more embarras­ sing for them, they have such a strik­ ing contrast right there in their home town. The man’s sister receiv­ ed a like amount when their father died. She did not “drink heartily” of her good fortune..^ She cared not for a splurge. She invested wisely and built up her fortune. She con­ tinued to complete her education and she entered into a remunerative oc­ cupation when she had prepared her­ self for the work. She married, but she lost her husband later. Now her son can enter sort of society without' the feeling that he, probably, iB not as well dressed as his associates or that they are superior to him in any way. His mother owns her nice home and she owns a number of other nice homes which bring her a subs antial income through rents. They can stiil drink without reaching the dregs because tbe mother did not drink too heartily wLen her cup was filled. Her brother sometimes performs menial tasks about her home for 'a pittance. If he had drunk less heart, ily of bis brimful cup, he could be on a par with his sister in her wealth.—- StatesviIIe Record. . A s h e G h e e s e F a c to r y ' D o in g W e ll.

It has often been said that when thieves fall out and fight honest men get tbeir dues. This doesn’t mean that either of these esteemed gentlemen are thieves, but it does mean that there isn’t much harmony in the democratic party at the present time.

NOT MUCH Educate Child in Safety; Safe Home Is Important The modern mother la confronted with a more baffling problem In pro­ tecting her children from the dangers of the world than .ever before. Chil­ dren of today face most of tbe Iobk established dangers such, as fire, poi­ sons and stairs, sharp objects and - cutting tools, and in addition nearly 25,000,000 automobiles waylay then on streets and highways. It Is cer­ tain that the improved methods of recording accidents makes the moth­ er more conscious of their appalling extent than ever before. One of the first principles of child safety, according to Curtis Billings who writes on “Teaching- Your Child to Be Safe” for Hygela, Is the establishment of a safe home by tin ’mother. To have a safe home Is at least as Important as to have a clean home. The second fundamental Is that safe habits must be painstakingly taught to children. Safe habits can­ not be instilled In them by. Inter­ mittent and impatient scoldings and cross “don’ts,” nor are threats of disaster effective In preventing mis­ haps to children. For instance, chil­ dren may be taught through actual and repeated demonstrations how te cross a street safely.

We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were ad­vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice.Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill effect, nave proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods get discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains . . . and safe for tbe average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at any drug store — simply by never asking for it by the name “aspirin” alone, but always saying BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy.

S YNOPSIS K erry Young, a lad of seven, is pre­ pared to flee the burning lum ber camp of his benefactor, Jack Snow, who took the youngster to live w ith him a t the death of K erry's mother. Tod W est has instructed K erry to come w ith a file containing the cam p's funds should It be endangered. Flam es attack the of­ fice, and K erry, liugging the precious file, and Tod race to town, Tod acts queerly. A t the bank the file is found em pty and K erry is blamed w ith taking the w rong one. Snow, his headquarters and money gone, is ruined, and soon thereafter dies, leaving K erry to the P oor Commissioner. K erry suspects Tod and sw ears to even the score. In a St. Paul office K erry, now in manhood, and an expert woodsman, learns of the w hereabouts of W est. K erry rescues a lovely girl from a scoundrel, who proves to be W est. Tod threatens to pauperize the girl. Nan Downer. She thanks K er­ ry and tells him of the robbery, and m urder of her father and of Tod’s ad­ vances.

Tlien he looked back. “Count me out a hand,’’ he said. “I’ll run over to the house and get a real smoke.” He rose and went intently out and Xoung wondered. Did West so much dislike confronting him even across a poker table after what had happened that afternoon that he had fled? Or was it something else which moved him to leave? The game went on. four-handed, and under relieved tension. West's place was vacant through one round and part of another. On his return to the table, tjie good- natured atmosphere which had pre­ vailed for those last few hands dis­ appeared. Again, it was a gambling contest, although Tod’s talk was, out­ wardly, all that it had been before he knew that Kerry Young was in the room. . . . Still, that feeling of ap­ prehension, of something afoot, grew stronger in Young’s heart. It was West’s deal. He riffled the cards twice adeptly and cut them for a third time. His fingers bent them, sent them fluttering against one an­ other, and then two or three of the pack leaped from his clasp, slid across •the table and spilled into hi's lap.-: “Need a basket!” he growled and, shoving back his chair, stooping over, !groped for cards on the floor.

But his other hand slid a second deck from beneath his belt and when he came up the one pack was thrust into the little stein shelf beueath the table top while it was the new one he thrust toward Jim Hinkle for the cut. . . . Kerry Young did not know this. But his heart rapped smartly with suspi­ cion. “Cut ’em, James!" the man said. “And cut ’em deep because I’ve got another feeling about this hand!” He looked about and grinned, more affable than he had been since Kerry entered the game; Hintcle cut; West beamed and . . •. “slipped" the cut! Young saw that clearly. Back to the top of the deck went the sectiQn that Hinkle had cut away and West was dealing, talking, chuckling over some joke he had made but to which Kerry gave no heed. To And Tod West playing the role of ruthless aggressor this afternoon; to find him cheating at cards tonight . . . and after all these years of suspicion and resentment! To. the tourist at Tod’s left a kin; next'a four,‘to Young a seven, to Jim Hinkle a queen and to himself, a six spot “The king," said it possessor, “will risk a dollar.” , Kerry looked at his down card. It was the nine of spades .. . and a nine of spades without a bent corner! The deck had been switched, he knew!. The man at his left came In; Kerry, thinking quickly, paused and caught a little flicker of misgiving on Tod West’s face. The man wanted him In! He tossed a (In'in- hill to the pot I “And a dollar!” said Jim Hinkle promptly and Tod nodded wisely. “That queen must be proud of her­ self again. Queens ruined Sawyer,: James. Well, I’ll trail along.” ■ Tbe rest, also, saw the raise.' Tod set the deck on the table before him, ostentatiously, Kerry believed. He hitched his chair closer to the table and dealt, taking cards one at a time from the pack. The showing king drew a ten spot;, the four caught a nine, Young was given a deuce and beside Hinkle’s queen dropped another. . . . “Oh-oh!” muttered Tod. “You must’ve felt her coming," — turning, himself a king. Excitement showed In Jim Hinkle’s, sallow face. Why shouldn’t it? With queens back-to-back, .and now'a third-? And two kings showing in two hands? “Ten dollars,” he said and his voice was too eager. “Well, now, James . . . I’m just a little bit proud of what I’ve got I’ve beaten those dam’ queens once or twice tonight. I’ll just tilt it a mite this time to try my luck. Let’s bet twen­ ty-five and keep the retailers out!" The man at bis left folded; the sec­ ond Iiesitated and again Kerry cauglst that little flash of misgiving in West's eye. He wanted them all out now; all except Jim Hinkle who was already fingering his money, ready to call or raise. The second tourist folded and Kerry silently shoved his cards away. “Raisin’ fifteen,- Tod?” Jim asked and this time his voice was husked. “That’s the way I feel. I’ll back at you!” West rubbed bis chin and grinned. “By gosh,” he said, as if in chagrin. “By gosh, Jimmy, you tryin’ to beat' me?” An onlooker laughed. “I think you’re downright tryin’ to take my money and that ain’t quite right. . . . Back at you with twenty!” His voice snapped on this last and tile watchers crowded closer to the chair backs. “Well, seein’ as you’ve got so much, confidence and seein’ as how we’ve got' curds cornin’ . . . Call!” Three cards were dealt, now, with two showing; a pair of queens, with a lone king against them. From the top of the-deck, lying so openly before him, West picked an ace and flipped it toward his adversary. For himself he turned a nine-spot. “The queens bet twenty-five bucks!” Jim’s voice was tight “And the king will see the twenty- five and raise ten!” said West mel­ lowly. Hinkle shifted his weight. He wet his lips and looked nervously at Tod’s hand. Then, as if deciding on caution after a struggle, he called.; Hisrstack of bills was thin, now; the heap of currency in the center had attained considerable size. “Now for the last heat, Jlipmy. To you, m’ lad, a trey, and to me,”— hesitating as he looked at the card he turned from the deck and let a smile cross his face—“to me, the king of diamonds!” So that was it! Kerry thought to himself. Obviously/Hinkle had threes. Tod, from a cold deck, had dealt him­ self the case king. West was sitting back in his chair, smiljng coolly. The place had grown very still. Well over two hundred dol­ lars had been bet so far and West was smiling at the distraught Jim Hin- kle as a man will who is most sure of himself. “Beat the kings,” West said. “If yon can and care to!” Jim cleared his throat. . He counted his money slowly and said, “I’m betting fifty dollars,” and as he shoved In the last of his money Young heard, the breath catch in bis throat. Tod West began to laugh. “Them queens!" he said. “You boys have to learn about women' from me! I beat ’em with aces once tonight. Now, it’s kings. . . . Kings beat queens, Jimmy? Three? You got three of the gals?”—and Hinkle strained for­ ward as West began turning his hole card. “Three queens,” the man said husk- iiy. “That’s what I figured, along at the last. So I just called, you bein’ out of cash. My kings, James, catched ’emselves a triplet, too!” Hinkle slumped back in his-, chair ,weakly. In the depths of bis eyes was acute distress. “Caught the caser!” Tod West was saying as he reached forward with both hands for the pot ‘Caught the caser and—’’ "Just a minute!” It was Kerry Young’s vo!c.e, with snap and . iron in it; and Kerry Young’s liand lay in an arresting grasp on West's wrist. Tod broke short his speech. He plunged a look hard into Ihls strang­ er’s face. “.Tim, how much did you lose in this pot?” Kerry asked. “You were even, you said, a while ago.” ' “Hunderd ’n’ eighteen,” said Hinkle unsteadily. Young nodded. “A hundred and eighteen dollars!” That’s too much to lose—’• ' “What comes off here?” West re­ covering himself, shook off Kerry’s hand and drew back. Color -ushed jiarkly into his face. “What goes on here? You weren’t even in this pot'” “No- You didn’t want me in” “Makes no damn difference to me what you do. But you were not. It’s ” y„ p0L .1L l on want t0 Post-mortem your name is, justhere, whatever st^ lg aIpng and bnJ ‘he right’Ive the right, now!” Younv= mn„«h twitched and he was a bit p ill “Mv financial interest in this, pot is notfi ing. But Fve an interest in it beside that. I’ve been sitting in the game and when I see a man stripped of bis last dollar on a crooked deal—” Tod was on his feet, a rush of crim­ son rage flooding his face, and his right hand was whipping at his breast, jerking open the shirt Buttons gave, exposing the sweat-stained strap across his chest and the segment of shoulder holster. . , It happened quickly; with such des­ perate quickness that Young could not hope for escape by flight. Before him was the .table. To right and left were seated card players, too amazed and shocked and fuddled to be aware of what impended, let alone to be able to move quickly. And so he did all that there re­ mained 'to do. He rose, with a swift, flowing -move­ ment. As he rose, his hand dropped into his coat pocket. “Stop it!" he snapped and his voice was a rasp and as West’s-baleful eyes caught the lift of that coat, saw the “Now!”—as -West Hesitated— “Face to the Wall.” rigid projection within the pocket, he added in a half whisper; “Put ’em up. Quick, or I’ll . . .” The great hand, clutching at the pistol grip in that shoulder holster, hesitated. Young’s voice was imperi­ ous, his manner commanding. “Up, now! Smartly, Tod West! . . . High. . . . Higher than that!” Slowly, West obeyed, panting as he stood there, swaying just a little; and then' the rest stampeded for safety. The two stood there, facing one an­ other across the table, West’s eyes glassy, a stringer of spittle at the corner of his mouth; and Kerry Young, the.stranger, hand steady In his jacket pocket, was smiling oddly. “Next,” he said, “you will turn around so I can take your toy away. You won’t be harmed, but neither will L Now!”—as West hesitated. “Face to the wall, or I may have to . . .” Once more, he left a threat unfin­ ished, -For an instant longer West held his ground and then the hand In that pocket twitched. He turned at the pminous,. gesture and slowly faced the wall. Quickly, with a light tread, Young stepped close behind him. A prodding projection pressed the small of the larger man’s back. Young’s free hand went over the other’s shoulder, inside his shirt and dragged out the flat, ugly automatic. From the doorway a man swore In surprise: Tod West carrying a gUn? It was incredible! “Now,” the stranger was saying as he backed away, “you may do as you damned please!” Tod chose to turn and face Young who was halted in mid room, cynosure for all eyes. The hand which had cov­ ered West was still in his side pock­ et; that sharp, menacing projection still held firmly against the cloth. And then the hand came out, slowly, os­ tentatiously, dragging with it the pock­ et lining. The lining of the pocket and a straight-stemmed pipe! One explosive guffaw preceded a wave of iincredulous murmurs. Then these subsided as Kerry withdrew the clip from West’s pistol, ejected the cartridges from the chamber and spilled the ammunition into bis palm. He dropped the pipe Into his pock­ et and held the unloaded, gun toward its owner. With a contemptuous ges­ ture he sent the cartridges scattering across the floor, plopping and rattling in the stillness, and then he laughed, a rising, chesty laugh as West, face asben and agiisten with sweat, dumbly accepted his weapon. ’ “There’s your toy, Tod West,” he said as the man, a-churn with chagrin, amazement and, perhaps, a species of relief, took it from his hand. “You may gather your ammunition later'” Voices were murmuring, like the dis­ tant sound of a storm. Someone laughed, another swore and a third said: “Damned bluff! And as for Tod’s cheatin’ at cards—” Reputations die hard!- - Young swept the room with his eves “As for his cheating,” he said even ly. The money on the table belongs to those who- had invested.

He had not regained his self-posses­ sion. “Perhaps,”-said Kerry with a shrug. “Perhaps, West. You may be able to alibi yourself neatly, but you know and I know!”He went slowly forward a few steps. “Know me, West?” be asked. “Know me? Never saw me, eh? . . . Maybe, then, it’ll refresh your memory to re­ call things. “After I saw you steal from Jim, here; after I saw you cheat a poor man for a few dollars, Tod West . . . after I saw your smallness now, I say, then I. knew-that- 1 didn’t take the wrong letter-file the day old Jack Snow went broke!” Color drained from Tod's face bnt into his eyes came a glitter, a craft, covering and subduing the gusb of insane temper such. as ihad swept them when he reached for his gun, yonder at the "card table., He did not speak at once. He may have known that this brazen youth had not convinced all who had watched of his duplicity; that a withering gesture had not whol­ ly wrecked tW place he had built for himself in this country. “Don’t you know me?” Kerry taunt­ ed when he did not speak. “Don’t you remember me at all? . . . I’m Young; Kerry Young. . . . And I took out the file you told me to take, that day old Jack had his death blow!” West spoke, then, thickly. “Young?” He shook his head. “I know no Young. . . . Wrong file? Jack Snow?” A contortion crossed his coun­ tenance. “It all means nothing to me. Who you are, what, you are . . . I don’t know. Except this: you’re a rat!’’ A man growled: “We’re with yon, Tod I You’re no. crook!” Kerry shrugged. “Fair enough,” he said and smiled in triumph. “It answers the one ques­ tion that’s . . . bothered me.- You’ve come a long ways, Tod West, from a thieving, burning bookkeeper. It’s hard for men to think their king can do wrong, I see. But . . . step carefully, Tod West. I’ve sowed seed tonight; some seed always sprouts!” He hitched at his belt with a frank­ ly swaggering gesture. “After all these years, the job was done quickly; in mere hours. And now I . . . I can be on my way.” \ He turned on his heel and made slowly for the door. A buzzing murmur filled the room. Eyes were on Kerry, on Tod West, standing there with much seething in him. He had a role to play, this West. He had a reputation at stake, loyal­ ties to consider . . . perhaps things to fear. His place In the country was In the balance, he knew. But the charge of cheating at cards was too fantastic, too incredible in the minds of these other men to be of more than passing consequence if he played his role properly, as a respected leader should. He found voice at last. “Hold up there, you!” Kerry was at the threshold. He turned, smiling that bitter smile. “You’re a rat!” West said again heavily. “You’re a . . . damned rat! What’s the idea, tryin’ to make me out a crook? Blackmail? “I never seen or heard of you! And I’ve only this to say, after callin’ yon a rat Just this: you’d best be on your way come sun-up! Your kind’s not wanted here!” Kerry lifted a band to scratch a temple, slowly.; “That’s tough on me, Tod West,” he said. “I’m through, here. I stumbled on the thing I’ve wanted to know for years/ And I’d like to be gone, being the roafaing kind. But if there’s.one thing I’m more afraid of than taking root' It’s . . . .I s being driven, Tod West!” He began to laugh. “So I’ve got to stay! I’ve got to light a wnile!” He went out into the darkness and his deep laughter floated back to them. A fierce exultation racked him and he did not look about; did not see Nan Downer standing there In the edge of the light shaft from a window, one hand spread across her breast CHAPTER V At about the time Kerry Young was finishing his evening meal, Nan Dow­ ner and Ezra Adams, short, squat gray-haired logging - country doctor- who had driven out from Shoestring, the county seat walked slowly across the trestle from Nan’s headquarters to West’s Landing. The old man listened attentively and unconsciously slowed his pace as the girl’s story progressed toward its cli­ max. Her voice, though low, was quick and tense, and once ;t caught In a sob. “And that’s that Ezra!” die said tremulously. “It’s me or . . . or the property. Oh,” — with sudden bitter­ ness—“I’ve had a feeling all along that he wasn t the man the count”— thinks him to be!” “That’s your womanly intuition. Am? my opinion was a . . . doctor’s, I guess,” They talked tor a time, standing In the dusk and then the girl said: “Now, for Jim and Elsie Hinkle’s troubles!” and led him resolutely on. They entered a tar paper house where a woman washed dishes by the light of a kerosene lamp, her mouth set In an expression, of forbearance In a chair, his one leg strapped be­ tween wooden splints, a five-year-old boy played' with: a battered toy. At sight of the. physician he began to yelp excitedly and threw the toy vio­lently away. “Une’ Ezra! Unc’ Ezra!” he cried his face shining. (TO BE CONTINUED) Washington Monument TT..

Although comparatively new as a group #nd promoted consistently -as non­ partisan, the league can now be said to have plunged headlong into the po­ litical warfare. If i ts first big rally can stand ns a criterion, its influence is ane to be felt in an important way in the forthcoming national elections. This rally that really marked the league's campaign debut was a pic­ turesque tiling. It was picturesque jest because of the time and the place and the very nature of the thing and the manner of approach to the voters of the country but it was more pic­ turesque and more important as well because the headline speaker was Al­ fred E. Smith, one time Democratic can­ didate for the Presidency, and by all odds the most colorful and pungent sneaker of the present day. It was a dinner of more than 2,000 persons— from every state in the Union—and It m s held in exactly the same rooms of the JIayflower hotel here where two weeks earlier President Roosevelt had addressed about the same number of persons at the Jaelcson day SoO-a-plate dinner. As a further note of interest, attention might be called to the fact that the meeting was presided over by Borden Fairr, a lifelong Alabama Dem­ ocrat. and the other speakers were Dr. Joal Carothers, a Southern Democrat, long head of the economics depart­ ment of Lehigh university in Pennsyl­ vania. and former Federal Judge Ciiarlos I. Dawson of Louisville, Ky., s republican. I referred above to Mr. Smith as be­ ing a colorful speaker, and from all Pt Ihe comments I have heard, it seems so be thv consensus that never has he ,rastilk' the description better than in his le»*„e speech. He was introduced hr hr. Burr as “Al Smith of Amer- Iog,* and proceeded to assure his audi­ ence that included millions listening by radio that lie placed patriotism above party, that he was a candidate for no office under the sun, that he had no as to grind and that such critical shots as Iie might take were without personal animosity for. any- *. But be did not pull his punches wlen he pilloried the New Deal and be showed no mercy when he drew the deadly parallel between the Demo­ cratic platform of 1932 and the policies which Mr. Roosevelt had carried through, I believe It may be said that he reached the peak of his speech when he laid on the speaker’s stand copies of the Democratic platform of I® “nd the Socialist platform of the same year and in his best East side twang he challenged anyone to deny Ihat llr. Roosevelt had been elected on a Democratic ticket and had car­ ried out the Socialist promises. The President’s “breathing spell” ut­ terance, his message to congress on the state of the Union, his staff of ad­ visers, his monetary policies formed other meaty subjects which the former governor of New York picked to pieces In his own inimitable way. He begged congress to assert itself again and fluoted from the Bible In his plea It should return to the father’s house and be again one of the three branches of the federal government He said it took courage for a lifelong Democrat to say the things he was saying, but there is no gainsaying he displayed "hat It took. Through the speech was Mr. Smith’s chosen theme that a great danger lies "head, a danger that the New Deal "ill destroy everything which he held had made America the outstanding na- uon that it is. He accused the Presi- cnt of having arrayed class against crass and asserted that what the na- ■on faces is the most gigantic tax bur- Iflfer known. To this he added at It win not be the rich who will My, nor the poor, but “that vast army o individuals with incomes from a Dndred dollars a month to five thou- sDnd dollars a year.” t!h]-a"5’ *n collclusion> Mr- Smith "I-et meThere give this solemn warning: can be only one capital, Wash- togtou or Moscow.

And frankly it seems with the personal following that he has, a walkout by Mr. Smith cannot be described as oth­ erwise than serious to the party from which that group is defected. It has all of the earmarks of an interesting political situation.- Immediately after Mr. Smith had spoken, quite a few Democrats in con­ gress fired back at him and In defense of the New Deal. Men like Represent­ ative Doughton of North Carolina, a Democratic wheelhorse as chairman of the powerful ways and means com­ mittee; Speaker Byrnes, and a flock of others. They Insisted generally that the Smith barrage was more helpful to the Democrats than campaign speeches they themselves could make. Administration leaders in the execu­ tive departments are beginning to fire also, but they are smart enough to ,let the enthusiasm aroused by the speech die down before they attempt to upset arguments advanced by Mr. Smith, I have no doubt, from the signs even now cropping up, that an effort will be made In ' congress to discredit the league. It looks like Senator Black, Alabama Democrat and chairman of the senate lobby committee, probably will dig into the league’s files to show how it was financed to a large extent by such wealthy men as the Duponts, among others. Such an investigation likewise will carry an undercurrent of a movement to do away with political influence of such men as John J. Raskob, former Democratic national chairman, a league director, and Jouett Shouse, former executive chairman of the Democratic national committee and the league president. If that fight gets started it will be a mudslinging beauty. So, summarized, the picture result­ ing from the league’s dinner is that of a major feud, as well as a major polit­ ical movement, because there is a real­ ly bitter fight between personalities in sight as well as the possibilities of a third party movement. In the situation as it now stands, however, the Republican party holds the key. Smith and his following and the league membership generally can be counted In definite opposition to the New Deal and most all of its works only on condition that a candi­ date and a platform, viewed by them as sound, are put forward by the Re­ publicans. If the Republicans turn too far to the radical side in their efforts to match the Democratic position (which necessarily must be In support of everything the President has done), then, there is likely to be a third par­ ty, which would make predictions of the outcome worthless.* » • Congress frequently goes off on a tangent in which it will set about ex­ posing this or that D igging or the other among Up Secrets the practices of pri­ vate business. In the last several years it has been particu­ larly active in exposing to public view secrets of corporations and individual representatives and senators have blown oil much steam concerning sal­ aries paid business executives and they have directed criticism at private busi­ ness as well for some of its other ex­ penditures. A few years ago Senator Norris of Nebraska, among others, spoke at great length in criticism of our gov­ ernment’s diplomatic service because of the salaries paid and the expendi­ tures allowed for operation of our for- eigii diplomatic offices. The Norris at­ tack apparently did considerable dam­ age to the diplomatic service because it made many capable men fearful of entering that field where highly trained men are necessary. But all of the time during which criticisms have been leveled at private business on account of salaries paid business executives and because of other expenses, the senate Itself has been going ahead from year to year using taxpayers’ money to suit Its o.wn purposes. For instance, Col. Edwin A. Halsey, secretary of the senate, lately has made public his annual report cov­ ering senate operations and it shows that the taxpayers’ money to the ex­ tent of $3,296,852 had been spent for maintenance of that one branch of congress. There are 96 senators, each of whom has an office staff; there are some 30-odd committees In operation, each with a staff, and there Is the reg­ ular senate organization with a large personnel. Consequently, salaries alone take up a considerable chunk of the total outlay, but Colonel Halsey’s re­ port disclosed .that general "contin­ gent expenses” of the senate had eaten up $701,000. Included in this total of “contingent expenses” was an item of $230,000 for the cost of senate investi­ gations In the last year. Almost half of this amount was used by the muni- tiogt Investigation committee headed by Senator Nye, Republican of Nortli Dakota, who lately ^vas made the sub­ ject of criticism on” the senate flow because, of his committees attitude. @ Western Newspaper Union. “ R o x y ” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I STA R I I D U ST I I -M -ovie • R a d io * * * * B y V IR G IN U V ALE*** T F THE romance between John ■*- Gilbert and Greta Garbo had worked out into a happy ending, everything might have been differ­ ent for the fallen male screen idol. There is no doubt that they were in love with each other. I recall that, when she returned from a trip to Sweden, she rushed to her hotel suite, locked the door—and called Gilbert on long distance immediately. And people who knew him are say­ ing that, no matter what the doctors say about his physical condition, he died of a broken heart. — — TiiLi' are saying that about another well-known figure in the theatrical S world—“Roxy,” who died in his sleep. They say that he was beaten by the failure that came after such great success. But Roxy had a new radio program set, and plans for a come-back In the theater. He de­ serves credit for so many innovations in the staging of motion pictures. And, of course, he was the first to work out the intimate, friendly manner of. chatting to his listeners on the radio; before that the pompous, hot-potato-in-the-mouth style of deliv­ ery was the most favored one. Roxy started broadcasting with his gang in 1923, at the Capitol theater, in New York, and it’s said he was op­ posed to the idea of broadcasting, at first. Many of the members of Roxy’s Gang have achieved fame. Most of them you know on the radio: Jessica Dragonette1 Frank Black, Erno Rapee, Evelyn Herbert, James Melton, Fred­ erick Peerce, and a great many others, Yascha Bunchuk worked with him. Eugene Ormandy used to conduct the orchestra- recently lie's been made conductor of the great Philadelphia symphony, one of the greatest orches­ tras in the world. Knowing Roxy was exciting; just having dinner with him in his apart­ ment at the Roxy theater, or in the more magnificent one at the R K O Music Hall, was an experience. But his life was. exciting from the time when he staged "shows,” as a child, to the years when he was one of the biggest figures in "show business.” Yet I believe that he’d rather be re­ membered, not by the men who fol­ lowed hi9 lead in the theater, but by the millions who heard him over the air—for he really meant it when he Said, at the end of each broadcast, “God bless you.” One Ijf the causes of speculation these days in movie circles is whether Greta Garbo will ever be forced to r make an effort to be nice to the newspaper reporters and camera men whom she now avoids so sedulously. It seems unlikely— [ * yet it’s happened to other people. Con­ stance Bennett, who not so long ago col­ lected $30,000 every time she made a pic- Hepburn fure, hasn't a con­ tract now—and has a desire to be nice to the boys who can print things about her. Katherine Hepburn, who almost got killed when she. ran from a plane, on arriving in New York, rather than face the newspaper boys, is posing very willingly these days. —k— Kay Francis is on her way to New York to visit Mrs. Richard Barthel- mess, who is there because Dick is go­ ing to do a stage play.

PICKARD £ Western Newspaper Union. TWO THOUSAND or more "grass root" Democrats, representing 17 southern and border states—though most ot them were Georgians—assem­ bled In Macon, Ga., and with wild yells launched the boom ot Gov. Eugene Talmadge for the Democratic Presidential nomina­ tion. They adopted a motion asking him to run as a constitutional Democrat who is op­ posing what they called the “theorists, crack- — . . pots, brain trusters andGov. Talmadge professors,. of the New DeaL Talmadge1 though highly elated, declined to comment or to make any announcement at the time. Tbe platform adopted by the meet­ ing called for preservation of the Con­ stitution, of state sovereignty and of the American form of government. It accused President Roosevelt of aban­ doning faith in the Constitution -and the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson and of “repudiating, abandoning, and side­ tracking” the platform on which ha was elected in 1932. It said: "We do not regard the occupant ot the White House as a Democrat, “He has broken the pledge of our party and violated the platform of 1932. “We here today affirm our faith In that doctrine.” It Is not easy yet to estimate the possible results of the Talmadge move­ ment. The administration leaders re­ fuse to take the Georgia governor seriously or to admit that he can im­ peril their control of any of the south­ ern states. The situation in the South is fur­ ther complicated by the sudden death of Gov. 0. K. Allen of Louisiana. He was the devoted and complaisant ad­ herent of Huey Long and had been selected to fill out the unexpired term of the late senator. Lieutenant Gov­ ernor Noe succeeded to the governor­ ship, but who will now be the leader of the Long forces was not immediate­ ly determined. WHAT is known as the Bankhead- Jones bill for soil conservation, the administration’s substitute for the AAA, was given the hesitant approval of the senate agricultural committee by a vote of 15 to 2, although Chair­ man Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina said he “personally had some doubts” as to its constitutionality. The meas­ ure would enable the secretary of ag­ riculture to remove 30,000,000 acres from cultivation- and give him even wider powers than he had under the AAA. It was evidently headed for a hot debate on the senate floor. . - Secretary Wallace let it be known that officials of the Agriculture, Treas­ ury and Justice departments were co­ operating in an effort to collect for the government the $200,000,000 ordered returned to processors by the Supreme court, but he gave no details of the plan. In referring to this court order in a radio talk, Mr. Wallace went far­ ther In criticism of the Supreme court than has any other official of the ad­ ministration. He declared it was “the most gigantic legalized steal in his­ tory.” Representative Alien T. Tread­ way of Massachusetts asserted on the floor of the house that “any official who will make a statement of that nature about the Supreme court ought to be impeached.” Mr. - Wallace may not have heard the last of this. Yf ANSAS Republican state commlt- tee members, the Kansas Day club and many party leaders from the Mis­ souri valley' region, celebrating Foun­ ders’ day in Topeka, presented to the coun­ try Gov. Alf Landon Of Kansas as their choice for the Repub­ lican Presidential nom­ ination. In a speech to the banqueters the governor told wbat he hoped to do for the nation if-he were-nom- Tnated and elected. Refraining from “sub­ stituting epithets for arguments,” he offered a program for ending federal extravagance and re­ storing prosperity. Replying to the query “What .would you do?’’- Mr. Landon proposed relief for agriculture through a spil conser­ vation program with' the honest pur­ pose of saving the fertility of Ameri­ can farms and not merely that of pro­ viding a blind for further dispensa­ tion of AAA checks. The governor pledged himself to old age pensions, He recommended exten­ sion and Improvement of civil service, and the utilization by the federal gov­ ernment of specially trained minds as he has used them in Kansas—“to col­ lect facts, not to. administer theories.” His own best recommendation of himself he gave in three succinct par­ agraphs summarizing his budget bal­ ancing achievements. p ASMENT of the veterans’ bonus by * means of baby bonds.payable on de­ mand was enacted into law by. con­ gress, and ■ the money for the ex-sol­ diers ' may be available on' July i. Gov. Landon The HaiTison compromise bonus bill that ,went through the senate; and house easily, was vetoed by President Roose veiL The bouse Immediately and en­ thusiastically repassed the measure The senate was a little more deliber­ ate, but within three days It, too, had overridden the disapproval of the Chief Executive, and the bill was made law. The vote in the senate was 76 to 19 In the house it had been 324 to 6L It was a notable fact that all the senators—95 In number, for Huey Long’s successor has not yet taken hi? seat—were present and voting. Notable, but not strange when one remembers this Is an election year. Fifty-seven Democrats, 16 Republicans and 3 Rad­ icals—La Follette of Wisconsin, Ship- stead and Benson of Minnesota—voted for the bill, while 12 Democrats and 7 Republicans voted against IL • The galleries were filled and there was wild cheering when the vote was announced. Republican senators amused themselves and the spectators by twit­ ting the Democrats on their failure to stand by their chief, the most voluble of the twitters being Senator Hastings of Delaware. Informed ot the vote. President Roosevelt at once ordered government departments to prepare for payment of the bonus certificates as quickly as accuracy will permit Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau said that the payment would be the most difficult mechanical task the treasury had faced In its history. He said the treasury would need $2,500,000 and the veter­ ans’ administration $5,000,000 to In­ crease the force to take care of the job. More than seven million interest calculations will be necessary. ttXXTE CAN either take on the man- vv Re of hypocrisy, or we can take a walk; and we'll probably do the latter.” These words of Al­ fred EL Smith in hi? speech at the Ameri­ can Liberty league dinner in Washington were perhaps the' most Interesting and signifi­ cant of his utterances on that occasion, for he professed to be speaking for “the dis­ ciples of Jefferson. Al Cmith Jackson and Cleve land” and concerning their action In the Democratic national convention next June when the dele­ gates are asked to indorse the doings of the Roosevelt administration. There could be no misunderstanding Smith's meaning, and he must now be con­ sidered the leader of the conserva­ tive Democrats in their revolt against the policies of the New Dealers. The concern of the administration Dem­ ocrats is now as to how extensive will be the bolt; and whether the conserva­ tives will put up their own ticket, sup­ port the Republican nominee or mere­ ly stay away from the polls. Of course in any case the Republican cause will be aided materially, unless the guesses of its leaders are all wrong. New Deal Democrats were quite un­ dismayed by the Smith speech, which they declared was weak and ineffective They announced that Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of the senate would deliver the official reply In a radio address, Mr. Smith In his Liberty league speech never once named President Roosevelt but he specifically put oo that gentleman the full blame for repu­ diation of most of the planks in the Democratic platform of 1932, which he declared was the best ever put forth In this country, . Senator Robinson’s reply to Al Smith's speech consisted in the main of quotations from previous utterances by Smith In Which he advocated a course quite as radical as that pursued by the New Dealers in combating the depres­ sion. He jeered at the New Torker for abandoning the streets of the west side for the palaces of Park avenue and trading his brown derby for a silk topper, and denounced him as a de­ serter In the face of the enemy. A CTIVITIES of the Townsend old age T i pension advocates are proving most annoying to many congressmen, and it is likely they will be investigated. A resolution for such an inquiry was in­ troduced by Representative Jasper Bell of Missouri, Democrat It charged that for several years "Individuals and groups” have “conceived and promoted numerous schemes under the pretext of obtaining pensions for the aged and needy” and that now “several groups of fraudulent promoters are enriching themselves by working the so-called pension plan racket.” IF; PLANS announced In St Louis by leaders of world Jewry are carried out, there Is to be another exodus, this time from Germany where the Jews are greatly oppressed by the Hltler- ■ites. Sir Herbert SamueL eminent British Jew, attending the national council of Jewish federations and wel­ fare - funds, said a definite method would be formulated soon to provide for the gradual emigration of at least 100,000 of the German relch's estimat­ ed 430,000 Jewish population. The un­ dertaking, will be financed by- a. fund of about $15,000,000 raised by -English' and American Jews, ;, W ASHINGTON wants to know who ordered the United States Marine band to walk Out at the women’s pa­ triotic conference on national defense.

Wickersbam of New York, who was attorney gen­ eral of the United States In the Taft administration and for many years one of the country’s leading corpora­ tion lawyers. He. was seventy-seven years old, and died of heart disease In a taxicab. Mr. Wickersham was chairman of the famous Hoover commission named to Investigate prohibition and other law enforcement In 1929. The commis­ sion’s report opposed repeal, but the document was accompanied by the members’ individual’ statements in which a majority urged repeal or mod­ ification of the eighteenth amendment The net result was confusing. Much good work, overlooked by the public in the controversy over prohi­ bition, nevertheless was done by the commission. Its exhaustive reports, filed early In 1931, covered many phases of the crime problem and were regarded as Important contributions in that field. DR. HUGH S. CUMMING announced that on February I he would re­ tire as surgeon general of the United States public health service, “becaase of long service and health that isn’t too good.” He has been in the service since 1S94 and has had four terms as its head. His administration is cred­ ited with completion of the quarantine system; inauguration of preimmtgra- tion examinations at American con­ sulates; establishment of a national leprosarium and national narcotic farms, and construction ot eight ma­ rine hospitals.' It was believed In Washington that President Roosevelt would appoint as the new surgeon general Dr. Thomas H. Parran, Jr., state health commis­ sioner of New York and assistant sur­ geon general on leave. A JURY In the United States Distrlct court In New York returned ver­ dicts of guilty against acting Capt. William. F. Warms and three co-de­ fendants In the criminal negligence trial resulting from the disastrous fire that swept the Morro Castle off Asbury Park, September S, 1934, taking a toll of 134 lives. Besides Warms, those convicted were Eben Starr Abbott, chief engineer of the burned ship; Henry E. Cabaud, executive vice president of the New York & Cuba Mail Steamship com­ pany, operators of the Ward Line, and the New York & Cuba company Itself. PRANCE'S new government, under *■ Albert Sarraut as premier, it is hoped will stand up- until the spring elections If it does, the results will not be happy for Italy for it will take a much stronger stand in sup­ port of the League of Nations than did that of Laval. The new foreign minister is Pierre-EtIenne Flan- din, noted for his' pro- British tendencies; and Joseph Paul-Boncour, no friend of Mussolini, is the minister of state concerned chiefly with In other respects there is nothing especially notable about the Sarraut cabinet Regnler is re­ tained as finance minister, and he is committed to the Laval policy of de­ fending the franc. Flandin went to London for the funeral of King George, and it is ru­ mored In Paris that he would sound out British bankers on the subject of alo_an of three billion francs which the French treasury sorely needs. With Laval in the discard, the British might look on this suggestion with favor.

Lesson for February 16 JESUS*' REPLY TO JOHN THE BAP- TIST1S QUESTION LESSON TEXT—Luke 7:19-28. GOLDEN TEXT—I believe: help thou mine unbelief.—Mark 9:24. PRIMARY ' TOPIC—Jesus Answers John’s Question. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Answers Jobn’s Question.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Meeting Doubts With Pacts. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—How Jesus Answers Honest Doubts. The title, “Jesus Helps a Doubter,” given by the lesson committee, is not a good one. John was not a doubter, though somewhat perplexed. Jesus specifically defends him against such a charge (see MatL 11:7-11 as well as the present text). It is to be hoped that no teacher will perpetuate this error. John was a great man. In an­ nouncing his birth the angel said, “He shall be great In the sight of the Lord.” He was great, also, when meas­ ured by the standards of men. In teaching this lessor a survey should be made of Jobn’s life and work. I. John’s Birth and Ministry Fore­ told (Isa. 40:3; Cf. MatL 3:3). He was thought about and his work planned long before he was bora. He came as God’s messenger. II. John’s Character. 1. Humble (Luke 3:4). He did not seek human praise and commenda­ tion, but shrank from them. His su­ preme concern was to proclaim ChrlsL 2. Courageous (Luke 3:7). He faced a great multitude and struck hard at their sinst. He did not trim his message to suit the crowd. III. John's Preaching (Luke 3:3-8). L He sounded forth a ringing call to repentance (w. 3-6). Suddenly emerging from bis seclusion, he came into the region of the Jordan us a mes­ senger of God, calling upon the people to repent as a means of preparation for the coming of the Messiah. 2. He demanded proofs of pen­ itence (vv. 7, 8). He insisted that their false prophete bad to be aban­ doned, their sinful hearts had to be renovated, showing them that the vile passions of their souls must be up­ rooted. The turning of a soul from sin to God, was necessary. IV. John Sent a Deputation to Jesus (Luke 7:19-23). L Their question (v. 19, 20). "Art thou he that should come? or* Iook- we for another?” Because John did not see the interval between the suffer­ ings of Christ and the glory that 9houId follow—between the cross of Christ and his second coming—he was perplexed; therefore, he sent a deputa­ tion to Jesus for IighL This perplexity was not something culpable in John be-, cause the prophets did not see, or at least did not make clear, the interval between the crucifixion of Christ and his second coming. The Messiah, he knew, had to be the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29). The trend of events puzzled him. It was not a lack of faith, but confusion of mind, that prompted his inquiry. There were two lines of predictions concerning the Messiah; the one set him forth as the suffering One, as in Isaiah 53; the other as an invincible conqueror,, as In Isaiah 63. Indeed, in Isaiah 60:1, 2 the two are joined together (Luke 4:17-20). 2. Jesus' action (v. 21). In that same hour, doubtless in the presence of John’s disciples, Jesns cured many of their Infirmities and plagues, and. of evil spirits, and to many that were blind he gave MghL 3. Jesus’ message to John (vv. 22, 23). Jesus said to them, “Go yoor way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard.” V. Jesus’ Defense of John (Luke 7:24-28). L He declared that John was not vacillating like a reed-swayed by the wind (v. 24). 2. John was not doubting because of the hardship of prison life (v. 25). 3. John was not a mistaken prophet (vv. 25-28). He makes John equal to the greatest of the Old Testament prophets by declaring that among those born of women there hath not arisen a greater prophet than John. oot rcsPonse ot the people (v. 29).

More than 72 years ngo he dalivered his Gettysburg speech, a mas* terpiece, which follows: “Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great bat­ tlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is alto­ gether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot con­ secrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to aidd or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly ad­ vanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before u*,~that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the full measure of devotion,—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, --that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,—and that government of the people, by the peo­ ple, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” A number of Davie citizens will go to Greensboro to­ night to attend a Lincoln Day banquet.

Practically every Issue of consequence affecting the wel­ fare of the nation since 11*20 has been either economic or financial in char­ acter^ One has only to recall the leg­ islation, mandates and dictum coming from Washington during the past two years to realize to what extent the government has entered into the dally lives arid business of all people. And yet—up to this time—the peo­ ple of the United. States have relied on office holders of reputation, politi­ cians or military heroes to administer the; office of President. Tliey have never elected a business man to run the business of the'- United Slates. In Frank Knox, the Chicago publish­ er, the Republicans of Illinois who have unanimously made him their *‘fa- • vorite s«nM candidate for the Itepub- lican nomination for !’resident of the .United States this year, have sought to fill this aching void. They know Knox is a budget balancer and a busi­ ness builder, as iiis continuous success In business attests. They know he knows how to meet a payroll and has never had trouble with Iiis employees, union or otherwise. They know he practices thrift and that his progress In life from a newsboy to the head of one of the largest metropolitan news­ papers In the country has been achieved on savings, character and ability alone. Sut Knox’s scope is not merely that of making a success of his own busi­ ness^ As a newspaper editor he has; to-use his own words, been “admin­ istering a public trust.” .As ;a result, upon Frank Knox has been conferred the title of “public citi­ zen:". While never an office holder he has^nevertheless, been a student, of and’ a contributor, to government all his I Ife. Backed by his newspaper he lias helped elect good men to office and to defeat had ones. He has been “bacfcstage” on many , public policies, national, state and - local, for which the oftice holders got all the credit ‘Always- on the progressive and lib­ eral side of any issue,, he has fought lardjfoir fairness and equality for the.' farmer, for labor, for racial and re-' ligioua groups suffering-from dlscrim-; ination, and for individuals who stood ’for good principles with clean hands. : Upon all the Issues now before the iAmerican people he Is one of the best Informed. I Knox was a child of depression. He came to manhood In depression. He/ learned In other depressions of lesser magnitude a few fundamentals of suc­ cess; pay your debts; never spend more than you can earn; don't make promises you can’t keep: and keep the promises you make. One executive .■who worked with him in a vast news­ paper enterprise, said of his attitude toward these simple rules; “He never forgot an order; he never passed ,the buck.”' And that about iums It up. He was born In- Boston In 1874 whenr Ills country was doing a bad job re­ covering from the panic of 1873. His parents, sound .Scotcli-Engllsh folks, like their forebears when confronted .with . an Insurmountable obstacle, moved to Grand Rapids, Mich., wlien Frank -was six years of age. At .11 years of age Knox was delivering ^newspapers for 53.75 a week.- This j-was' not enougli to help the family. At >15 years of age he quit school to go to (work and soon became a traveling salesman at .$15 a week. The. depres­ sion of 1803 cost him his Job. At the urging of friends. Including his pas­ to r he went to Aima college. Alma, Mlch., and worked his way through doing any job that came to hand. There' he met his future wife, Annie I Held. I Two months before graduation the I Spaiiish-American war broke out. I Knox enlisted as a private and took I twenty of bis college mates into the I army with him. While on leave at­ tending the funeral of a relative, the !Michigan regiment was filled up and I Knex arrived in Tampa, PIa., In uni­ form but without definite assignment to any outfit There he met LIeut David. M. Goodrich, former Harvard oarsman, who introduced Iiiin to Theo- ! dore Roosevelt, The colonel looked I hIm over carefully, asked him If he , would care to join the Rough Riders 1 and personally administered the oath ; of a soldier to Knox. He served at !Eoosevelt’s side throughout the cam- . palgn which ended at San Juan hill, finally, to fall a victim to the heat and tropical ailments. • Trooper Knox returned to Grand Rapids to find himself face to face with the-, newspaper business. During Iils absence, many; of his letters to the • mother, setting forth the lighter side of the Cuban campaign, bad been pub­ lished in the lbcal newspapers. “You have a nose for news. TH put you on at $10 a week,” said one of the editors. Thus Frank Knpx found the profes­ sion which wasTto bfhhis life worki On Jiis meager salary,- he married An­ nie Reid, “the girl: he left behind Iilmn when he marched off to war. In three years he became city editor and cir­ culation manager of the paper. Then, with 5500 as capital, another thousand . of borrowed money, and a partner, .John A. Muehling, With a-like amount Ihe bought the Sault- SterMarle, MidL, (News. In ten years on that Job Knox “cleaned” up one of the toughest towns In the country, helped nominate and elect Chase Osborn, one of the first of the old progressive Republicans, as governor of Michigan, and himself be­ came chairman of the Republican state committee. In 1912 Frank Knox sup­ ported his old commander, Col. Theo­ dore Roosevelt, for President At the conclusion of that campaign he sold his SIicbigan paper at a handsome profit and, prompted by the urging of Gov. Robert Bass, another progres­ sive governor, with KU old .partner Muehling be bought the Manchester, N. H., Leader. This he combined with another local paper, and, together, they still own and operate the Union- Lea tier, two of the progressive news­ papers of New England. Always constructive, always looking for some way In which to make things better. Publisher Knox became aware of the difficulties In which agriculture and Industry were finding themselves in the New England states. It was his Idea that, to protect their interests, these states should act as a unit and to that end he took a leadkg part in forming the New England Council, one of the country's outstanding examples of co-operation by a large group. It has survived economic stress and suc­ cessfully fought off dictatorship from Washington. Over-age for the draft, able to com­ mand influence if lie wanted an offi­ cer's commission or a softer berth. Frank Knox enlisted as a “buck pri­ vate” in the New Hampshire militia In 1917 when the United States became Involved in the World War. No mili­ tarist, but a profound patriot when his country needed men, Knox, qualified by bis previous service in Cuba, quickly found hihiself in an officer’s training camp over his protest He served throughout tiie war with the artillery train of the 78th division, participat­ ing In the St Mihiel and Argonne campaigns. He came home this time with his hearing slightly impaired, al­ though it was believed for weeks that an unexpected discharge of artillery bad deafened him for life. The first day home he reported for work In a Jong-tailed coat, all he had saved from his "civvies” before going to war a second time. Knox’s success in New Hampshire attracted the attention of Publisher William RandoIpb Hearst When in­ vited by Mr. Hearst to take charge of his Boston papers, Knox, who was in no sense a candidate for the job, fixed wliiit be regarded as a prohibitive price on bis services To his astonish­ ment Mr. Hearst agreed and Knox ran the papers for- a year with such suc­ cess that he was tendered the .gen­ eral managership of the entire Hearst chain of papers. In that job Knox ap­ plied the same general • rules of budget balancing and editor[al Integrity which he had followed all. his life. Once again, Knox found himself traveling tbe length and breadth of the land, acquiring /and applying a knowledge of local affairs, sectional interests and meeting, the leading, busi­ ness men, statesmen and politicians everywhere. When he retired from tills post in 1928 lie expected, to settle down In Manchester with his wife in a new home especially adapted In design and site to a troublesome throat ailment from which Mrs. Knox had suffered for several years. But Knox found he was not tbe kind of a man who can retire until the last horn Is blown. In 1929 Walter A:. Strong, publisher of The Chicago Daily News, suddenly died. The newspaper was an institu­ tion In the city of Chicago, devoted to the public service,' independent, read and believed In by the citizens’ of that city. Under Victor F. Lawson and Strong tbe paper had set a standard for American journalism for more than fifty years. Knox, without enough money of his own to buy such an • expensive prop­ erty, came into the pieture witii The­ odore T. Ellis, a successful manufac­ turer of press accessories. Theirs was not the highest bid. It was sold to them after the executors and directors had canvassed the country for a man of character eligible. * to conduct a newspaper on the high standards it had acquired. The principal editors and publishers of tfie country individ­ ually assured all inquirers that in Knox the right, man for the job had been found. Knox has run The Chicago Dally News on the. same principles that made him successful at the Poo and in Manchester. He has stood manfully behind the forces of .-law and orde* which has brought the underworld in Chicago to its-knees—the same old fight he fought at : Sftu)t Ste. Marie in his earlier days. His campaign for a new political conscience, In which courage .and. common, honesty stand out as: its chief "characteristics, Ir showing results. He has improved the . financial position of .his. newspaper, re-, tiring In the first four years, over $4,000,000 in bonds : and preferred stock. This, , too,, is a throwback , on his life-long ability to .balance budg­ ets. save money. an(J,.at the same time, give quality sendee. He has continuously fought the “New Deal” as contrary to . some of the things he found to be fundamen­ tal Amerlian principles.: ToU -pa v yonr debts; you don’t spend more .than you earn; you make no promises yoii cannot keep; you keep the promises you make, nnd you.fell, the truth tin sparing!); about Illinois Retmlilicnns'hgree wltif Knn\ and believe In him. -They tliiiiK; (ie *.‘ tlie type best suited (o present day. iicfiis—a business mnn \iiiii a: states man’s viewpoint and experience; n fresh, up-to-date “public citiw ii" fiiii- ■IIialUieil to apply the homplj v.'rtur nniu fundamentals to modern Condi Hons. - ■ A friend asks os to define what Roosevelt’s crowd means by the "Nation’s.permanent investments.” Well, our own opinion is that the billions of dollars the Wilson admin­ istration loaned to tbe foreign gov­ ernments might be called “perman­ ent investments ” T h e money's over there for keep?.—Yellosv Jackp'. ‘ Personalitv is something which enable one to get by on barmni b:l instead of elbow grease " -O in Miller.

MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1 9 , 1 9 3 6 . 1 D id H o p k in s P r e v a r i ­ c a t e , Harry Hopkins, head of the W PA, has been declaring that there was no politics in the distribution of Federal work funds. Just read what the McIntosh, Okla., Demo crat, a partison democratic paper, says: “ Hope for additional W PAfunds for Oklahoma brightened Monday as the Oklahoma congressional del egation decided to call on the Pres ident, James A Farley, patronage chief, and Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator, to request greater allotment. The action was taken by the delegation after Congress­ man Jack Nichols, of the Second district, cited complaints made to him abbut the hiring of some Re­ publicans to minor office in the WPA set up in his district.. With the unannounced intention of point­ ing out to the President and Far­ ley, if not Hopkins, that addition al funds are needed if Oklahoma is to be kept in the Democratic col­ umn the delegation decided, to clean up all complaints at the same time. "It was reported that discussion of a probable successor to W. S. Key, W PA administrator, who plans to reign in March, is sched­ uled with Farley and the President Apparently none of the delegation has objection has objections to E. M. Fry, former city manager of Oklahoma City, favored by Key as his successor. Although none of the congressmen would discuss it it was apparent that there would be a general., movement jo^ ‘clean out the Republicans' in the WPA set-up. Several expressed themselves as sat isfied with the work being done by Republicans in minor offices, but Nichols is determined to have a iew changes in his district. The Con­ gressman made it plain that they are pleased with the general policies of Key.” T h r e e H ig h w a y D e a th s P e r D a y . Certainly the need for concerted effort to reduce tbe highway death toll, such as that in which the leading newspapers of the state are now en­ gaged, is forcefully accentuated by the fatality list for 1935. According to figures released by R. R. McLauglin. of the motor vehicle bureau of the Department of Reve­ nue, one thousand and ninety-five men, women and children, were kill­ ed in automobile accidents in North Carolina last year. That would be three lives snuffed out for every day in the year. And these 1.095 deaths from high way accidents for the year were more than the number of North Carolin­ ians killed in action during the world war. In addition to those killed on the streets and highways of the state, there were 5.386 persons reported in­ jured. The December toll was 115 killed and 722 injured. Of the 115 killed, 46 were pedestrians, 2 0 were killed in collisions between automo­ biles, 9 were killed when trains hit cars, 1 2 died when cars bit fixed ob­ jects, 28 were killed in non-collision accidents—the' result of speedifig, reckless driving or carelessness. It is significant that drunken driv­ ers figured in accidents which took the lives of thirteen people, while bit and-run drivers killed the same num­ ber. Important too, is the fact that approximately one-third of the num­ ber killed on the highways during the year were pedestrians. Many of these pedestrian deaths mav have been the fault of the drivers, of course, but those who drive cars have grounds to agree that in many cases the pedestrians themselves are to blame. For this reason, it might be well, after the newspapers have pledged everyone to drive carefully* to inaugurate another campaign for pledges by pedestrians to walk carefully.”— Statesville Daily.

The bureaucrats do not intend to get out of tiietr swivel chairs without a fight to keep intact the most gigantic political organization ever created in this country. This organization carries a campaign oi ward and precinct intensity into the farm areas. In it are 1 1 5 , 0 0 0 local committeemen, or an average of nearly of nearly five to a town- shio. These are "New Dealers,” paid $ 5 a day—but not out—but not out of party funds—to deliver copies of Roosevelt-political speeches,.'

Clearly. Mr. Roosevelt thinks that no longer should farmers op­ erate their farms as their own judg­ ment dictate ; ucr should they enjoy the freedom of action that has been shtir right since our • forefathers sought these shores, to establish liberty and justice. On Oct. 2 8 1 9 3 5 Professor Tug well, Under Secretary of Agricul­ ture, used in Los Angeles these words: ‘ Our best strategy is to surge forward with the workers and farm ers ot this nation ” These words were almost identi cal with those which have come from Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin.be­ fore their raid upon . the Russian people NUMBERj i W h a t A M a n ! A tall, gaunt young man entered the office of the manager of the car­ nival. “I want an engagement with your outfit as a freak,” he said. "What’s your act?” inquired the manager, as he peeled a bardboiled, skeptical eye on the stranger. “I’m Enoch the Egg Cain,” an- swered the freak. "I eat three doz­ en hen’s eggs, two dozen duck eggs and one dozen goose eggs at a sin­ gle sitting,” he said, proudly. “I suppose you know our policy,” put in the manager.: “You know we give four shows each day. while on Saturdays we often give six or more* Can you do it?” "Sure thing.” said the freak. "And on Sundays and holidays we sometimes give a show every hour Your appetite wouldn’t give out, would it?” . ’ ; The lean young • man - hesitated, “In that casej” l^|jggily said,” -“I must have ope thmjgpijpjainly (under­ stood before l sign^up.” . “ What’s that?”3 napped the.!man­ ager. ... .

Tbedeath blow was given in Con­ gress to the potato bill which Lind­ say Warren. North Carolina’s poker playing Congressman, got through the House last year, when that body refused to appropriate $1 ,2 5 0 , 0 0 0 to enforce the act Theitem was struck from the de­ ficiency bill after the Representa­ tives declined to approve a $1,0 0 0 , 0 0 0 appropriation asked bv Warren to gather and disseminate infor­ mation relative to-the vegetable. Previously the House refused to adopt an amendment by Represen tative W’oodrum which would have reduced the Warrea request to $5 0 0 0 0 0 .'

Warren, after, admitting that the bill would have no standing in the Supreme Court, fired a parting shot at his detractors when he said: - “I realize that this bill has been made the football of partisan - poli­ tics. I realize that untrue state­ ments have gone out in-.part of the press throughout the nation, but I still say that you members who rep­ resent potato growingj^ctjons gjpffljg, thatMt was earnestly 'and ' ardently desired by the potato farmers ( who have been reduced to aifate ofabso lute bankruptcy Au ineome of 7 per cent, on the investment was the highest record ed by farmers of Graham county who kept records last year. C a lls W a lla c e A n U n ­ b a la n c e d F a n a ti c . Theodore Roosevelt, .Ir., son of the late President Theodore Rouseve t in a recent address at Oklahoma City, Okla., denounced the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, his fifth cousin whose wife is also his first cou-dn, as one destroying, the pro­ duction of wealth, and assailed Secre tary of Agriculture . Wallace as an “unbalanced fanatic.” In a belligerent address before the Young Republicanclubsof Oklahoma the son of tbe fighting "Teddy” as­ serted that prison penalties of the ad­ ministration’s potato control act con­ stituted the "crowning atrocity.” "This act is not merely the essence of idiocy—it is the essence of ty­ ranny,” shouted the New York Re­ publican leader and former governor general of the Pbillipines. “It is blood-brother to the edicts in Russia, Germany or Italy. Any man proposing such an act. any man in sympathy with it, does not belong in a free nation such a3 America was and we should retire him definitely and permanently to private lifel ” Young Roosevelt accused the Presi­ dent of deceiving the nation with catch phrases such as .“an ampler life for all.” "It is a noble sentiment but fine words amount to nothing unless they are backed by fine actions,” Roose­ velt said. "As a matter of cold fact the policies of the present adminis­ tration-under the direction of Presi­ dent Roosevelt are . not laying the ground work for an ampler iife for all men Rather, the ground work being Jaid is for a harder, more cir­ cumscribed lifefor ail, and particu­ larly; for our children.”- . . . tb it every pupil has some redeeming~Jiigher[living.costs-Kere-named as^^ea^ureB^be saiiL - - ! an example of the "harder life.” Gblonel Riosevelt said the ^.increases resulted from such-policies as the NRA and AAA.

She was so enthused that she bubbled over and among other things in her account of the address said," I have seen and heard the Pie- sident on several occasions and can sav without hesitancy that in man­ ner, delivery and the subject matter his Jackson Diy dinner address sur­ passed anything I have ever heard from him before.” And now listen to this taken from the Washington Merry G j ’Round, written by two wideawke and alert Washington writes who would not emblazon it to the world if it were not true. According to them, Roose­ velt .didn’t write., the wonderful (?) speech about which the national committeewoman from North Caro­ lina so nearly lost her head. ~ Listen at this: “Author of the President’s Jack­ son day dinner speech Was Steve Early, White House secretary for the press relations Steve brought the speech in to the President on about 3 p. m.. of the day it was to be de­ lived. Roosevelt read it over care­ fully,, commented: "Pretty good, Steve, but it’s too dry, Take it out and put some hum­ or ia it.’ “So Steve did; after which it pass­ ed' presidential muster—except for Marvin McIntyre, other White House secretary, who thought it was [lousy” ” .It’s a pity to blast, such a Wonder- fdNfiiibbie but it seefhs that it has got to be done.

M a r r ie d W o m e n S c h o o l T e a c h e r ? . Fnr several years there has been a debate going on over the question of whether married womon should be employed as school teachers in the North Carolina school". In some ci'ies the married women have been banned and in at least two counties that have come under our observa­ tion would married women school teachers were denied employment. The question is again being agi­ tated and at a meeting of a Greens­ boro civic club the past week. Dr. John H- Cook, head of the depart­ ment of education of J the Woman’s College, discussed th e question should married women be allowed to t°ach school? The college professor declared in answering tbe question that “the sort of woman with the- personality and understanding th ata man selects to become the mother of his children is undoubtedly ,best fit­ ted for the responsibility of teach­ ing children. Let a woman go ahead and marry and have one or two child­ ren if she cares to; then sheas all the better prepared to work with child­ ren of others.” Dr. Cook spoke on the subject of training training teachers, ’ and ho outlined four essential qualifications' the good teacher should possess, namelv, personality, a broad cultur­ al background, a knowledge of the profession and an “internship” of teaching practice. Teachers shouid love their worjf, Dr. Cook said, and further than that they should try to understand child- r.Tn. Many children are unliked teachers ar.d consequently do a poor­ er grade, of work despite the fact: Such a responsibility of knowing and octaining the best fronrchildrCn demands a well developed personality on tbe part of the teacher, skid Cook , There were other factors in Ihd teaching profession that drew criti­ cism. such as the Iowsalaryscaieand the ernptines of the future* Teach­ ers should have a living income and a permanency of tenure that would preclude the influence of politics and and allow participation in the pro?, gressive life of the community with­ out so much fear of the public b pinion. i • There are many who will disagree with Dr. Cook in the matter of mar­ ried women tearh in order to pro­ vide a living for a sorry husband. Wf have known of married : women; teachers, who were first class teach­ ers, would rank at the top-in their profession and would'not teach were' it not for.the fact that they had jo live some way, being handicapped by a trifling, no-account husband who; did not think it a disgrace to loaf a- round while his intelligent and ener­ getic wife was laboring in the school room. Another objection to married wo­ men teachersls that they crowd c Ut tbe single women that are just’ is gond teachers but are unable to get a job on account of their married sisters who are holding down the jobs. Wewote though that there are al­ so many single teachers who get mar-- ried at the' first opportunity tidy ' have and quit the teaching-profes­ sion and make a home for their bus-, bands.-: These are to be commended, —Union Republican.

The ordinary business m a n wouldn’t think of paying a young fellow two or three hundred dollars per month to distribute circulars, to run errands, write form letters or deliver groceries, dry goods and notions to the rich or poor folks in the community.' Under the New Deal some ot the young folks are getting rich —provided their politics is of the right brand. A law was passed by the last North Carolina legislature making it mandatory for all drivers of motor vehicles to procure a driver’s license before they could operate a car. The driver must be over t6 years of age, with sense enough to keep a car somewhere in the road. When a person is caught driving a car while drunk he is supposed to have his license, revoked for one year. >Jp to this writing nearly 1 5 0 0 drivers have lost their driving privileges as a result of driving while under the influence of intoxi­ cants. So far as we have been able to learn not a person in Davie coun­ ty has been deprived of his or her licenseon account of being arrested and tried for being drunk. with him. We explained that we didn’t believe this plan would work; that the sponsors wouldn’t be able to get the Dortly girls to enter con­ test. But regardless of this, we are glad that Mr. Lybrook round­ ed us up, for we managed to get a frog skin from him._____ J o h n F . G r a v e s . Mr. John Franklin Graves, aged 6 7 years, died Thursday morning at his home near Mocksville, death resulting from injuries sustained when be fell from a wagon, together with complications. Hewasasonof Mr. and Mrs. GeorgeGraves, of Davie county and is survived by the following; His wife and six sons. They are: G. 0 , L M., R. F., and H D. Graves, all of Davie county; J. K. Graves, of Greens­ boro; and R. M. Graves, of Kerhers- ville. There are two brothers, Henry and George Graves, of Davie County who also survive. Mr. Graves was a member of the Mocksville Coancil Jr. O. U. A. M., also a member of the Mocksville Baptist church. The funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock, from the Fork Baptist church, and inter ment followed in the church ceme­ tery. Funeral services were conducted by Rev E. W. Turner, and the body was laid to rest with Junior Orderhonorsby Mocksville Council No. 2 2 6. Mr. Graves bad many friends in this section who were sorry to learn of his death.

Some time last year two or three of Captain Farmer’s patter-rollers or highway patrolmen, descended on Mocksville and arrested five or ten persons for driving without lights, driving while drunk or in some way violating traffic laws. The day for che trials came along, and if we remember correctly, Esq. Fred Leagans presided. AU of the cases were thrown out of court and the defendants turned loose. So far as we know not a single arrest has been made in Mocksville by a patter- roller from that day to this. We would be glad if some ot the "roll ers” would visit our town once in a while. Most of them are mighty fine young fellows, and we like them. Of course, we have always thought that the state made a mis­ take by hiring these young men. Fity they are not engaged in doctor ing, lawyering, selling goods, or op erating machines in mills or factor ies. Since the number of these officers was increased from 6 6 to 1 2 0 , deaths by autos have increased amazingly in North Carolina, The officers are not responsible for the deaths, but so far as we know, they have never prevented an accident. Well boys, come over and see us once in awhile whether you arrest or convict us. W a n t G i r l s T o E a t M o r e . David J. Lvbrook, of Advance, R. I, who is President of the Davie County Fair Association, was Mocksville visitor Thursday. Mr. Lybrook rounded up Clerk of the Court Hartman and The Record editor, - who sponsored the pretty girl contest at the Davie fair last fall and sprung something new On us. Mr. Lybrook wants the pretty girl contest at the fair next tall to be conducted on a new and differ­ ent line. He says the girls who enter this contest should not be over 1 6 years of age, and should weight not less than 1 5 0 pounds each. The idea is to get all the girls in’; the county tp eat more, so that they will create a better mark-, et for all kinds : of farm products.

Last Tuesday, February 11, a school for training food teachers in Home Demon­ stration clubs was conducted by Miss Sallie Brooks, State Food and Nutrition Specialist assisted by Miss Florence Mackie, County Home Agent. The meeting was held in Mary Eleanor Turner Swicegood, daughter of Pinkney and Sarah L. Brown Turner, was born Julv 3rd, 1881, near Mocksville, in which com­ munity she was residing at the time of her sudden and untimely death, which occurred at noon Jan. 10th, 1936. Funeral services were conduct, ed by W. L Reeves, at her home on Sunday. Jan. 12th. Interment was in the Turner family cemetery, at­ tended by a multitude of friends and relatives. > ' r :c ; \ • Shebecamea Christian when 17 years of age, was strong in the faith, grew in knowledge, added the Chris­ tian graces and lived a faithful life through all of her days thence after spent on earth. She was brought up in the congregation of Jericho, near her home, and spent most of her time there. Her father was an elder of this congregation for a number of years. He was absolutely endowed with a profound intellect. He read extensively, studied his Bible much, taught school for years, lived one of the most elegant, exemplary lives until his death eight years ago. Her mother, a most amiable, saintly wo­ man, still survives. Her husband. Maxie Raymond Swicegood , to whom she was married on July 27. 1919. BtiIl survives to grieve over his sad loss. To this marriage one son, Max- ie Raymond, wasborn Jan. 20. 1926, and died Jan. 24, 1926 One sister, Daisie Turner, and one brother. Brown Turner, sur ive. God endowed Mary with a brilliant mind which Bhe delighted in cultivating. From a child she read, along with her Bible, good books, and gathered knowledge and wisdom which was necessary to make her that useful, worthy Being which she was. This, combined with her loving, cheerful disposition, made her ready to sym­ pathize and lend a helping hand to those in distress. She had a pleas­ ant smile and greeting for all, mani­ fested the spirit of benevolence to all who came her way, and was nev­ er happier than when she fully ac­ complished all that she felt was her duty. Like David, she was a “Sweet ringer of the Spiritual Israel of God.” Her God-given talent, music, sing ing God’s praises, she cultivated and used as Christ directed in these words. “Teaching and admonishing one another in Psaims and Hymns and Spiritual songs,’’ (Co). 3:16.) Such as this David says, pleases God more than sacrifices of an ox. (Psalm 69:30,31.) Besides this talent she was a gifted artist, and made pic­ tures after her own design. So thus her life was spent in filling the mis­ sion for which God gave her these talents, consequently she has left a memorial worth wnile—to improve your talents and not bury them, as an example to all who were fortu­ nate enough to be associated- with her. Solomon described her in this “She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eatethnot the bread of idleness.’’ (Prov. 31:27) Her hus­ band, a member of the Church, - will miss her ail the remaining days of his life, but he certainly will feel that his life was made better and happier by having such a noble com­ panion as she proved to be to him. Our hearts are yearning for the gen­ ial warmth of her sweet companion­ ship and constant devotion.

The dog now lifted his head sharply U id K m y could feel him stiffen.

Then, aloud, he hailed: “Who’s there?” • A voice from above answered: “Caller, Young! Still up?” Slow footsteps came through the poplars. Young, on his feet, waited with the dbg. stiff and suspicious beside him. “Funny . business, bustin’ in on a man, this way, this hour,” the voice w en t' on, nearer now. ‘‘But I got things to talk over.” He could see the other, now. H e -was short, squat, and : breathed rapidly. “I’m named Adams, Young; Ezra Adams. I'm .the local gill peddler.” “Ob, hullo, doctor!” The old man’s ,voice w as-pleasant “Glad you dropped ,fin- Here; sit on the bed.

I added that to what I know about you. “The first thing I came to ask Is this: how long are you going to stay here? I heard you say to W est that you wouldn’t be driven off.” ‘‘Only until tie’s sure that Fm not going because he w ants me to.” “Hum. . . . Pressjng business ,else; where?” “None at all.” Pause. “I see. Then If you could be interested In a job here, you’d, be tree to take it?” “Job? W bat kind of job?” The old man eyed him in the dark­ ness. “Coroner’s clerk,” he said in a whisper. , ' . ' “You kidding me?” “Not in the least. I'm . . . I’m more serious and in greater need than I’ve been since I can recollect.” “W elt that’s a ,new one on me!” He laughed. “Coroner's clefk! Why—” “Let me explain this a little. I have to pop it right at you without any preliminaries because it's . . . It’s an emergency, I guess. Nan didn’t go into detail about the killing of her father. I want you to know that. You’ve got to know it. That is. If you’re going to consider my proposal. “You see, Downer was a queer old duffer. Salt of the earth, but queer; eccentric. It was one of his eccen­ tricities that led" to his murder. He' never would deal with a man except for cash. Kept a bank account and all, but when he did business checks didn’t go. “He had this payment due to West last November. The fifteenth, it was. That was pay day a t his mill, too. The day before he drove into town and drew the money from the bank, start­ ed home about dusk'and was killed' not three miles from here by a bul­ let In the brain. The money, in one of these tin boxes, was taken out of his car. It amounted to over twelve thousand dollars. “You see. I’m coroner here. I start­ ed an investigation and the sheriff, he fussed some, but that’s about the ex­ tent of his abilities: fussing. ' “Two men, only, that we knew of, had the slightest motive. One was Jim Hinkle, whose money you got back for him tonight. He’d been work­ ing for Cash, had been fired the day before and fired with gusto, which was Downer's way. B ut he was playing cribbage with Tod W est all that eve­ ning and stayed in W est’s house all night, his family being away. So, with W est being what he’s thought to be,”—drily—“Hinkle was counted out. “W est was quite active In this thing. He wanted his money and Nan, Dow­ ner’s only heir, didn’t have more to pay him; He; dug up-‘the information that Holt Stuart had had a run-in with Cash early in the Week. Holt was working for Cash. W eilyIt seems that Holt’s pretty well struck with Nan. He’s a good boy, but Cash was a cantankerous old cuss and he rode the boy pretty hard because of where he’d let his interests stray. As a sort of punishment, he'd sent H olt out to a cabin on Townline Lake to do some mapping and made him stay there all alone. , “The sheriff, after W est got through with him, was convinced Holt was his man and started right In to work up a case against him. But I stopped th a t A coroner, you know, ’s got It all over a sheriff for authority. I drove out and found the boy with an ankle so badly sprained that he couldn’t pos- slbly’ve been out. ‘Well, we impaneled a coroner’s jury and I got. the; bullet out o f-Cash but we had so little to go on that the verdict had to be an open one. Then we started trying to trace the money. It was mostly In new Federal Reserve notes and the bank had the serial num­ bers. We broadcast those and then called It a day. That’s where it sits now.” ‘Downer’s dead and the money’s gone,” said Kerry. “Lord, if Miss Downer could get hold of that stolen money It’d save her life, wouldn’t it?” ‘It would” — again drily. “That’s what I’m here for. To see if you’ll help me locate it.” - “Locate it? W hat d’yon-mean?” “This!” The old man leaned for­ ward -and tapped Young’s knee. “The money,” he whispered,. “Is still In the country!” “The devil!” “ ’S truth! In my pocket I have a twenty dollar bill thaj was part of IL It was paid me on account to­ night.” • “You got any idea where it came from?” Ezra looked around apd listened. “Out of your poker game,” he said grimly. A fter, a moment Kerry gave a low whistler “Say! That makes the situation look up, doesn’t it?” “That’s why I came to you, a stran­ ger. I need help and need it right now. That money Is cached some­ where In the country. Whoever is hiding IL needs money badly. That’s the first bill to be put into circulation out of the lo t . . .

Then he said: “TH go you, doctor!" “Good! B ut we’ll have to keep it between you and m e.; N ot even Nan must know.” And leaning ,back on one elbow the old man cleared his throat and began to talk again. * * • •* *■■■ * Across the river In the Mg house of peeled logs which was Tod W est's abode that citizen stood before Jim Hinkle, who was seated and whose eyes remained averted. “And now it’s up to you,” West said heavily. “I guess it’s my right to ex­ pect that much from you.” “It’ll look like hell, for me to do that,” Jlm protested. “A fter what he thought he done for me. . . . How’ll I go at it? Besides, he’s nobody to fool w ith!’’ “Never mind that. I’ll take care oh that,” — nodding meaningful. “And about how it'll look: you mean, be­ cause he made a play at getting your money back?” , v “Well . . . You see . . .” “Don’t hedge! You can’t pull wool over my eyes. Listen here, spite of all your talk In the store about not wantin’ Jo- take your-money back,-you still think he did you a favor, don’t you? If you had the guts to say what you believe you’d say, after all, that you thought he was right, that I did deal crooked!” “Hell, no ! I ten -you, . I O b Iy-1” “Shut up!” W est gestured savagely. “Because a rat comes along and fram es me so I’ll look like a crook, you’ll forget all I've done for you!" “Well,"—with a show of sullen de­ fiance—“what if I ' do think it,w asn’t a frame-up against you? W hat then?" W est leaned forward, face darken­ ing, mouth settling In a cruel line. “So that’s it, eh? So that’s how you feel! Well, -when - you've -forgot­ ten everything else about me,..remem­ ber this: I lied for you once, didn’t I? I told ’em all I played cribbage with you the night Downer was killed, didn’t I?

And with a rifle, too? W hat, I ask you” — bending forward and rubbing his palms on his hips slowly—“what’d happen if I came clean with the sher­ iff and told him that, eh? If any man ever would be under suspicion of m ur­ der then, who’d it be?” Hinkle raised an unsteady hand to his chin. ’ “You wouldn’t, do that, Tod?” “Try me and see !” Their gazes locked and after a time ,Tim’s, fell. He drew a slow, faltering breath. “AU right,” he said. “I’ll get some of the boys. Tomorrow, we’ll see what we can do about gettin’ him down river.” C H A P T E R V I The sun had climbed from the bank of orange clouds which screened its rising; the mill whistle had blown summoning men to work and the saw had at last taken up its dally song. K erry Young had been up before the break of day, built his fire, bathed in the stinging w aters of the river and dressed leisurely. Then he set his shaving kit on a stump beside the stream and proceeded to clean cheeks and chin of yesterday’s beard stubble. Today he was going to present himself to Nan Dowuer and ask for work, a move which Ezra Adams had urged at length last night. It was while peering Into the m irror as he began m anipulating the razor that his eyes lost their glint of laugh­ ter and became most intent. Across the way spruces grew thick along the river bank, and as he turned his back to the stream , he caught In the m ir­ ror a reflection of branches being part­ ed, of a face peering at him. He ipretended 'to give this watcher no heed, but he took long at his shav- lng, and half a-dozen times had a fair glimpse of the man’s face It was no one he had seen before. H e was not at all surprised when Tip, recumbent beside the Are, raised his head sharply and gave a low growl. “Easy, chum!” K erry muttered. “Coming into the open, eh?" ■ But it was nothing across the stream which had attracted the dog; nor was the man approaching the one who had spied on him from the timber. Jim Hinkle was coming along the trail which followed the bank above the,;flat, and walking intently, as one with a grim purpose. - -■ : K erry looked up and nodded. The other did not respond. “Well, Jim ?" Young asked. - Htnkle plunged at once into his er­ rand, “I’ve come to tell you,” he said “that this ain’t a very healthy place for you to hang around!” “So? Kind of you to take this trou­ ble. Is this a . . . a friendly act or a warning, Jim ?” “Call It w hat you want to. ■ I come here because It looked last night as if you was doin’ me a favor. Instead, you put me In a hell of a hole. You, nor nobody else, can make me think that Tod W est would cheat at cards!” A whiff of surprise escaped Kerry. “Well, I’ll be dam ned!” he breathed. “Yob really aren’t convinced?” The man made an Im patient gesture and looked away. !‘Yes. I don’t know w hat your game was, but when a-stranger In this coun­ try makes a play like that with a man like Tod—well, he don’t get far.” “Maybe. Not at first” “Or anywhere along the line!” The man appeared to be making an effort to lash himself into a mood of trucu­ lence. “If you’d stuck around to hear w hat they said In the store last night you’d, find, o u t how -far you got:- -Tod insisted that they look the cards over, and do you think any one of ns would? Not on your life! And he made me take my money back, too . . . said he wouldn’t even tak e 4t If I’d owed It to ■him after havin' suspicion put on him .' He . . . "If you know w hat’s good for you,” in his manner, then, was a convincing quality not present before, “you’ll haul, out today!” “And if I shouldn’t . . . w hat then?” H inkle shrugged. “Well, I’d figure I’d done all that anybody can do for you by cornin’ here.” He advanced a few steps, his voice moderating. “I’m not .handin’ .j’on,anythtng: -Young, I’m just doin’ you a friendly a c t This country thinks a lot of Tod, and there's men here that won't stand to see anything done against him!” “Yeah? W est, and who else?” “Plenty!” Young let his head drop backward and laughed.***»••• .S o that w as.that! ' - - . H e had been spied upon since day­ break, had been w arned to clear out by an emissary who did not. say all that he thought and felt. Such item s should be pondered qver, but first be had other things to do. He aDd Ezra had decided that since he had an official if secret standing now, it would scarcely do for him to remain In the country with no better excuse' than 'ther proclaimed intention of defying Tod W est ,So K erry de­ cided to apply to Nan Downer for work. Not long after Jim Hinkle’s depar­ ture K erry set out, Tip following at his heels. Nan Downer looked up from her desk and listened to K erry’s brief speech explaining his presence. “A job?” she asked, and surprise in her face. It was not the surprise which m ade the deepest impression on Young, it was the quick coloring of her cheeks, the changing light In her eyes which! indicated an 'iifterest in him ’over and! above any amazement or regret or en­ thusiasm which his question might' have-provoked: 1 “Yes, a job. You know how- It Is, I guess: I’ve sort of got to stick around a w hile; and when I’m In one place, ^ don’t just hanker to loaf.” She traced a pencil-line on a pad before her, considering. “If you w ant to take a chance of de­ fying Tod West, It is your affair. W hat sort of job are you after?” Kerry grinned. - “Maybe I’ll have to ask w hat kind of jobs you’ve got on hand? I can do a lot of things in and around the woods, all the way from cruising, up through logging operations to mill­ ing.” “Are you a draftsm an as well?” She turned to a series of large maps hanging from the wall, greens and reds and blues splashing the Shrfaces to indicate the various types of growth which cloaked the descriptions, with figures showing the size and den- . sitles of stands, with stream s and lakes set down In detail. “You see,” she explained, “these prospects of ours are the sort who will w ant to know, down to the last detail, w hat we’re offering in exchange for their money. Bly fa.ther found that the easiest way to Interest men of affairs was to have everything on paper where they could consider it intelligently and completely. Could you do just this sort of thing as well as-these jobs have been- done?” No fooling about this girl. H er ques- tion_w as blunt and brooked no eva­ sion or qualification in. answer. ' Young stepped closer to the" maps, studying them a lengthy interval. “I can,” he said finally. Nan hesitated. “Of course, we can’t pay you w hat you might get some other place. We’re up against I t as you already know.” She was obviously em barrassed, but K erry Said quickly: “Don’t 'w orrv about th a t” He looked a t her, his appreciation of the situation, stirring a profound sympathy. “I’d figure. Mlss Downer, that It’d be a rare privilege working for you. When do we start?” “I can’t talk that detail with you now, because Holt- is out on the' job We’ve worked such things out together since, my father died. He’ll be back this evening. Will you come up then?” H e would, he said, and Started out of the office.

Jesus Calming the Storm (w . 22- 25)'. ... In tM s aniracle-he. dem onstrated bis power over nature. L Jesus-asleep (v. 23). W hile the disciples were sailing the ship the M aster fell asleep. 2. The frightened disciples (w . 23, 24). The storm seems to have been an unusual one. T hesestnrdym enw ere used to storms, but as their ship w as being filled w ith w ater they awoke J^sus with, their, cry o f,fear. 3. Jesus rebuked the wind and wa­ ter (v. 24), A t his. word there w as a great calm. W e can w ith confidence put our tru st In Jesus C hrist 4. Jesus rebuked the disciples (v. 25). A fter rebuking the raging ele­ ments, he turned to the disciples.. He did not rebuke them for w aking him, but for their lack of faith. II. Jesus Casting O ut Demons (w . 2&39). In this m ighty act Jesus’ power over demons w as demonstrated. Demon possession w as in th at day. and it is today, an awful reality. The charac­ teristics are often sim ilar to cases ,of insanity, and many are called insane, who are really demon-possessed. L. jesu s m et by the demoniac (vv. 26-29). Tbls poor man’s suffering w as dteadful. H e abode in the tombs w ith­ out clothing. A t the sight of Jesus he made an outcry and fell down be­ fore him and besought him not to tor­ m ent him. There is no doubt in the mind of demons as to the reality of a . place "of torm ent 2. Jesus’ question (v. 30). He asked him; “W hat is thy. name?” H is pur- .pose:w as to briDg, tbe , real, man to consciousness, to enable him to dis­ tinguish between him self and the de­ mon who held him. Tbe answ er shows that the man thought his case was hopeless. He said, “Legion,” which m eant that many demons had entered into him. . 3. The demons’ request (w . 31, 32). They asked permission to enter into a herd of swine. 4. Their request granted (vv. 32, 33). Jnst why. this w as done we do not know. Since Jesus did it, we m ust believe that it was right and wise. 5. The effect upon the people (vv. 34-37). a. The keepers of the swine went and made it known In the city and country. b. The , people, made investigation. Tfiey saw ,the m an sitting a t the feet of Jesus, clothed and In his right mind, and heard the testim ony of those who had seen w hat w as done. c. The m ultitude besought Jesus to depart from them. How sad it is th a t in the. face of the m ighty works of Jesus men will not open theif' hearts to him. 6. The request of the healed man (w . 38, 39). H e desired to be with Jesus. This w as natural and rig h t but his responsibility w as to go home and show to the people there w hat great things God had done for him. ' HI. Jesus’ Power Over Disease (vv. 43*48). Jesus heals a woman with an issue of blood. Observe: D H er helples§ condition (v. 43). She had been a great sufferer -for twelve long years (M ark 5:26). 2. H er faith (v. 44). H er faith was dem onstrated by pressing her way -through - the thronging ■ multitude. ; 3. H er - confession (v. 47). She thought furtively to get the blessing, ,but Jesns.rhad; h e r make >a{public- con­fession. 4. Chrisffs words of encouragem ent (v. 48). He told her that it w as her faith, not her touch, that saved her, and bade her go in peace. ’ IV. . Jesus Raises the Dead (vv. 40- 42; 50-56). - 1. Jairus1 request (yv. 40-42). His only daughter lay dying. H e besought .Tesus to come to his house. 2. Jairus informed of his daughter’s death (v. 49). 3. Jesus’ assurance (v. 50). 4. The skeptical mourners (51-53).’ 5. The daughter raised (vv. 54-56). A Hanb Word ■ To-be s lie n fto 'suffer;to pray when-' ever I cannot act, is acceptable to God.

OtBryan1 shown in inset, should be accepted. By WILLIAM C. UTLEY S HALL we cancel the w ar, debts? Ask any average American that, and the hair will begin to bristle on the back of his neck. "Cancel the war debts? Well, I guess not! Those Frogs and Wops borrowed all that dough in good fa ith ; ire raised it out of our own pockets In Liberty Loans, and now, by God, let ’em pay It hack!” And there Mr. Average American mil usually utter a derisive--snort, turn away in disgust at the very IDEA of canceling a “business man’s agree­ ment” and stomp off, m uttering to him­ self about the depths to which inter­ national integrity has sunk when na­ tions "whom we helped win the w ar” will gyp us out of our just rights. If you had asked him (had he given jou the chance) just w hat he would do if the debtor nations won’t pay, ac­ cording to the terms of the agree­ ments, he will go red' with anger and simply stare you down as though you had insulted him by even bringing the i- matter up. But, Finland excepted (good old Fin­ land!), (lie debtor nations are NOT paying and give little or no indica­ tion that they intend to pay In gold or dollar currency. Four courses lie open: To go on insisting that the deb­ tors live np to the letter of the agree­ ment, and simply act frightfully right­ eous and annoyed when they don’t; Io cancel the debts In part, hoping to salvage at least some of the loans; to cancel them altogether and forget about the whole discouraging mess, or to revise the means of paym ent to a form in which it will not be looked upon as so difficult by the debtor na-~ tions. Commercial Youth Has Plan. The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce believes it has hit upon a plan of revision of the method o£ Payment which should prove accept­ able to both this country and its cred­ itors, Certainly if it w orks It would uake collecting the debt lots of fun for Americans and for foreign inn- teepers (until they got around to pay­ ing their taxes, at least). For the Plan would allow Americans to travel In the debtor nations, paying their »'ay with credit certificates on those nations, which would be exchanged for domestic currency by the foreign gov­ ernments. Americans would pay the Dnited States government for the cer­ tificates and the payments would ap­ ply on the war debts; the foreign gov- K'nments would float domestic bond issues to raise the money to redeem the certificates, thereby transform ing the war debt from an external one to an iolcrnal one. But that’s getting a little ahead of our story. The United States Junior Chamber M Commerce and the 300 branches *ith which it Is affiliated are making some progress In getting the plan rec­ ognized. The efforts of .50,000 profes­ sional and business men between the aEes of twenty-one and thirty-five who we members, and the approval of 200 ,- other such men who are associ- Jted with them, are behind i t Since "iese ,',re, presumably, the young men ®ho will direct the destinies of Amer- 1K>n business in years to come, the P'an lias more than a slim chance of tW day becoming a national Issue. fhe author of the Big Idea is Thom- as O'Bryan, chairman of the na- 'Wal body’s w ar debts committee. “Bryan was born and reared In lovHia, Iowa, and attended Iowa State uWversity at Ames. He came to Chl- ' aSo with a “head for figures” to work “ the foreign exchange departm ent of a Iarge brokerage house. To fit him- p f better for his job, he burned the amps long and late every night, read- n8 up on the history and-.principles foreign exchange, and It was Inthese folk early morning hours when decent were long In bed that' the O’Bryan “n, as it is now known, first began ° see the light of day, if that Isn't’ wug np the metaphors too hopeless- y Ior anyone to follow. A Word About Plan's Author. Today, at twenty-eight, O’Bryan is L .tnJjn with a mission. Tall, large ■ darkly handsome, of serious demeanor and perpetual frown of thBUght,, he ,Jiqar:.a paying job. In Lar Salle street, but It Is not hard to see that he lives, thinks and breathes the O'Bryan plan. He can spout figures and argum ents to support its theories right through the lunch hour, 1f need be, never once thinking of the inner man, to convince a heathen unbeliever. And about seven tim es out of ten, the said heathen unbeliever will find him­ self agreeing—whether through honest conviction or a. credible desire to get about the business of acquiring luiich, It Is not within the province of this recorder to judge. I can only set down a brief synopsis of Mr. O’Bryan’s the­ ories and let the> reader decide for himself. F irst of all, he asks us to consider the nature of the debts and the man­ ner in which they were incurred. The debtor nations were at w ar and, be­ cause their industries were busy man­ ufacturing munitions and other goods of war, they found it necessary to im­ port goods in vast amounts which, for the ,large part, they normally produced at- home. We Ieut them the money with which to buy these goods, and then they bought the goods from us. Our government, of course,-borrowed the money from Its citizens: 3 billions of dollars In the First Liberty Loan act, 4 billions in the Second Liberty Loan act, and 3 billions more In the Third and Fourth Liberty Loan acts— a total of 10 billions. Practically all of this was advanced to the Allies, in exchange for L 0. U.’s from each deb­ tor. A fter the w ar Uncle Sam sup­ plied funds for relief to Finland, Lith­ uania, Latvia, Esthpnia, Poland, Aus­ tria, H ungary and Czechoslovakia. The aggregate principal amounted to $10,- 338,058,352.20. The total debt, including interest, amounts to about $22,000 ,000 ,- 000. Every nation but Finland default­ ed the paym ent due December 15, when payments of nearly a billion dollars were due. Difficulties of Payment. The present agreem ents provide for1 the debts to be paid in gold or in dol­ lar currency. This means that a deb­ tor m ust ship gold to the United States or sell goods here in order to accum ulate dollar currency. Present economic conditions make it difficult for debtor nations to pay in gold; nor, with more than one-half the world’s supply already within our vaults, do we w ant more of IL Importing goods from the debtor nations would lower price levels and living standards in this country, for the type of goods which we would have to import are largely those which we produce in suf­ ficient quantities at hom e; to protect our own Internal trade we have set up prohibitive tariffs which preclude the sale of imported goods. These conditions make it virtually impossible for our debtors to pay in dollar cur­ rency. If we cannot bny from them the flow of gold would end in a reser­ voir In this country, and that would n o t. be„ desirable* fromvav viewpoint of- international economy. They have the capacity to pay- (ac­ cording to Mr. O’Bryan) and “it Is pos­ sible” they are willing to pay. The Btiswer lies in discovering-a means ;of paym ent satisifactory to both debtor and creditor. The O’Bryan plan advances the argum ent that there is nothing which debtor nations produce that we can consume h ere; but there are services which we 'can consume THERE, and- which we do consume In a quantity which approaches the proportions, In dollars and cents, of the annual pay­ m ents which the debtor nations are required to pay ns through the debt agreem ents. These are cultural or recreational services to tourists or stu­ dents, or any other Americans whose business or --- pleasure s ta k e s i. them, abroad. “Tourists’ spent outside the united States, according to the Departnient of Commerce, 500. millions during 1923, and a peak of 850 millions during 1929,” says Mr. O’Bryan. •‘These expenditures can be used to our benefit In dealing, with the debts. The United States could enter Into, agreem ents with the debtors whereby they would . furnish to our Treasury departm ent certificates of indebtedness, , prpperly .endorsed, for. ttye J 1Ull, amount of the debts. The secretary of the treasury would be authorized to coun­ tersign them ' and distribute them to banks In this country through the fed­ eral reserve system. Travelers Would Estimate Expenses. “A tourist arranging for a passport would be required to estim ate the amount to be spent in a debtor coun­ try and also include steamship, fa re ; thpt'.apipunt of_.certificates;,would, be sold to the tourist to be used to pay fares, whether on a foreign or Ameri­ can line (American lines conld use them in paying foreign bills), and to secure the currency of a particular country by exchanging them at the banks upon arrival there. “The debtor governments,” O’Bryan continues, “would agree to refund the certificates in specified amounts and In place of them issue long term bonds of equal standing with other obliga­ tions of the government incurred for any other purpose. “The -United -States, treasury would be required to hold moneys raised by the sale of the certificates in a fund: to retire the outstanding government bonds of this country. The result ot this process would amount to the debts being liquidated in this country; and at the same tim e they would be trans- fered into the form of a long term In­ ternal obligation of the debtor—as compared to an external long term ob­ ligation as they are now. The process would go on until the entire amount of the debts was liquidated; and the results obtained in this way would not require the- transfer, of . gold and the- attendant disturbing Influence it has over credit facilities in the debtor na­ tions." The young author of the plan points out that additional benefits would ac­ crue to the debtor nations, for their toqrist and travel, business would be stim ulated without additional sales promotion cost P art of the increased taxes of the debtor nation’s population would be returned as profit upon this assumed increase in business. Marketing the Certificates. O’Bryan is dabbling with several an­ gles of the plan which would stimu­ late travel by Americans. For in­ stance, if the w riter follows him clear­ ly, he suggests that the part of the United States national debt that re­ sulted from the w ar loans be kept in a separate account. A percentage of every annual direct federal tax would apply on the liquidation of the w ar debts; the citizen or corporation paying the tax would be Issued travel certifi­ cates for an-am ount equal to that per­ centage of the total direct tax paid. If the person or persons to which cer­ tificates were so issued did not care to make use of them, the certificates could be sold on the open m arket for what­ ever price they would -bring. Thus Americans wishing to travel woold be able to ■ save 'mbtiey ■ by purchasing cer­ tificates at the m arket price, which would certainly be a t a discount from the actual value in foreign currency. There would have to be some sort of regulation, of course, for if half of America suddenly decided to go abroad, encouraged by the cheapness of travel, debtor nations would find it difficult to meet the certificates with an exchange of their own money. Id speaking of our travel expendi­ tures in the debtor nations, OtBryaa perhaps unfortunately misuses the word “tourist” Tourists actually make up less than half of the Amer­ icans who travel abroad,, and if his plan would work at all, the certificates would be attractive to all classes of travel. In determining a representative w olfing- - figure -of ■ 'expenditures, O’Bryan takes the mean travel ex­ penditures and immigrant remittances in debtor nations, for the years 1927, 1929 and 1931, which is an annual to­ tal of about one-third oif a billion dol­ lars for- all_ the debtor nations com­ bined. On this basls he estim ates that the debts, of all nations except Bel­ gium and.England could.be liquidated over a period of about 62 years. © Western Newspaper Union. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * S T A R D U S T M ovie •I O * * * B y V IR G IN IA V A L E * * * IN G E R R O G E R S is a g irl to V J be pitied, th o u g h y ou m ay n o t th in k so w hen y o u consider th o se gay , g lam o ro u s p ictu res th a t she makes with the nimble-footed Fred Astaire.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD © W estern N ew spaper U nion. Senator Borah WILLIAM E. BORAH, the liberal Republican senator from Idaho, Is now a full fledged candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination. He formally put him­ self In the running' by announcing t h a t he would enter the pri­ mary In Ohio which will be held May 12. That state requires t h a t the candidate shall declare himself in writing, and "this Mr. Borah said he would do. The senator's state­ ment follows: “A fter a thorough survey of the Ohio Situation I am convinced that the peo­ ple of that state should be given an opportunity to express their choice in the Presidential. primary on May 12. Under the so-called ‘favorite son’ plan this privilege is denied them. “To obtain an expression of popular Wfll It is my intention to place at least eight candidates or delegates at large in the field. *T shaU make a number of speeches In Ohio and present the issues as I see them.” It is understood by his friends that the senator will make a contest for delegates in almost every state having a preference primary. He says the G. 0. P. conventions have been dominated by the old conservative leaders through the operations of the “favorite son” scheme and this control he intends to destroy if possible. It is his opinion that only a liberal Republican can de­ feat President Roosevelt next fall, and few will deny that he Is the outstand­ ing Uberal In his party.

Construction of facilities for as many as one million families. Full control of management and con­ demnation proceedings would be lodged with.Jocal officials under the plan, the aim being to decentralize activities from W ashington. CONFORMING to the request of the President, both senate and house passed measures repealing the cotton, tobacco and potato control acts. In the bouse nine radicals and John J. O’Connor of New York voted “no” as a protest against the Supreme court after M arcantonio of New York had delivered a violent attack on that tribunal. Following this action, the senate agriculture committee rewrote and In­ troduced the administration’s substl-. tute farm bill. The revamped meas­ ure provides that the federal govern- ment-would make grants to the states just as-Is done now under the roads act. The states in turn would desig­ nate Borne.agency, to be approved by the secretary of agriculture, to dis­ tribute the money to individual farmers. This money would be distributed on a formula taking into consideration: Acreage of crops. Acreage of soil improving or erosion preventing crops. Changes In farm ing practices. Percentage of the normal production of any one or more agriculture com­ modities designated-by the - secretary of-agrlculture,.w hich equals that per­ centage of tiie normal national pro­ duction of the commodity. LjWERY Presidential possibility these A-4 days-must have, some plan for the salvation of the American farmer. Sen­ ator L. J. Dickinson of Iowa, often mentioned for the Re­ publican nomination, now brings np* b'° permanent farm pro­ gram which he says -would d iv o rc e th e farm problem from “bureaucratic control- In Washington. His plan would embrace erosion control- soil conservation, and res­ toration of fertility of lands. Administration w o u ld -b e h an d led Jointly by the states and the federal government In -a - manner sim ilar, to highway construction. ’ The Dickinson program, sim ilar to that advocated by former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. Includes pay­ ment of .the • bulance due signers of Senator ' Dickinson AAA contracts, a higher tariff on farm products, continued corn loans, and ex­ tension of farm mortgages at a, low rate of interest INFLATIONISTS In congress, led by Senator Thomas of Oklahoma and Representative Patm an of Texas, were all prepared to wage a great battle to force the printing of new money. They were just waiting for the introduction of a new tax program, declaring they would try to block such legislation if it were attem pted. It w as believed, that, If the tax issue were not raised soon, the fight would start over the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgaging re­ financing bill. The forces behind this bill, which calls for the refinancing of farm In­ debtedness on easy term s through the issuance of up to $3,000,000,000 In new money, had succeeded in getting 215 signatures on a petition to force a vote in the house. Only 218 were needed and its backers were pressing for the three names. Administration leaders were con­ fident they could defeat the inflationists by a wide margin. SENATOR VANDENBERG of Michi­ gan has grave doubts of the eco­ nomic necessity or value of the ship canal that is being dug across central Florida, and offered In the senate com­ merce committee, a resolution for inves­ tigation by a special committee. In support of his move he produced let­ ters from eleven companies operating steamships saying they would not use the canal even if no tolls were charged. They asserted the expense of employ­ ing canal pilots added to the risk of damage to ships would offset saving In navigation costs. W ork was started some tim e ago on the canal, which, if completed, will cost between $140,000,000 and $200,- 000 ,000 . A. Farley TWO attacks on the American Lib­ erty league were made in one day. The strongest was by ‘Postm aster Gen eral Farley who spoke at a Roosevelt dinner In Miami, Fla. “The Liberty league,” said Farley, “would rule America. It would squeeze the w orker dry In his old age and cast him like an orange rind Into the refuse pail. It would con­ tinue the Infamous pol­ icy of using the agen­ cies of government to- create a plutocracy that would perpetuate the sorry business of the Mellons and the Morgans In reducing 95 per cent of the people to the status of serfs a t the mercy of the exploiters a t the top. “The American Liberty league speaks as conclusively for the reactionaries and their party as do Mr. Hoover, the United States Chamber of Commerce and the National M anufacturers’ asso­ ciation. "Its program Is frankly plutocratic and asks for the rule of money over men, as during the 12 years before Roosevelt’s adm inistration. “It demands that workers and- farm ers be ‘put in their places’ and made to understand that they are mere hewers of wood and carriers of water. “Its idea of the ‘American way’ is to maintain a system under which ali the wealth of the nation was being concentrated in the hands of a very few—5 per cent of the people.” At their convention In W ashington the United MIne W orkers alSb took a crack at the Liberty league, adopting a resolution denouncing the organiza­ tion as “inimical to the interests aud people of the United States.” M arrlner S. Eeeles FIVE of the members of the new fed­ eral reserve board were Inducted into office with due ceremony. A sixth, Knipb W. Morrison of Texas, was to arrive later and be sworn In. The seventh member had not yet been named by Presi­ dent RoOsevelt. Mar- riner S-- Eccles, ap-, pointed chairman, and M. S. Szymczak of Chi­ cago, were holdovers. The others besides Morrison are Ronald Itansom- Atlanta bank­ er; John McKee of Ohio, form er chief bank exam iner for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and Joseph A. Broderick of New York. The reserve board, which has been called a- suprem e-court of banking. ' Ims powers unparalleled in American financial, history. Among these is au­ thority to double present margins that member banks are required to main­ tain against deposits: the dominant voice on the open-mnrket committee— which charts the systems participation in the government bond market, and over which it bad no authority under the former law : power of veto over the heads of the various reserve -.banks which insnres the selection of a presi­ dent who will, co-operate with - the board, and the power to fix margins governing relations between banks and brokers.

W ashington.—If ever there were a tim e other than when the nation was a t w ar when money Money dominated the situa- Dominates tlon a t W ashington, it assuredly Is now. One can go where he chooses about the government departm ents, to the W hite House or to Capitol H ill and the subject under discussion Is Or so<>n will be money. A year or so ago, we heard a great deal about money. We heard of it In connection with an appropriation of $4,880,000,000 — the greatest single peace-time voting of money In our his­ tory. And, iikewise, we heard money discussed when the President used his power to devaluate the dollar In Its relation to gold. Now/how ever, the subject of money Is discussed in a slightly different vein. The question that is param ount is how can the government get the money It needs. In other' words, we are now getting around to the question of tax­ ation, and It is a question that neither the President nor his lieutenants In congress like to face. It is an election year and a tax increase in election year Is not w hat the politicians would call smoothing the highway of a campaign. Passage of the legislation providing: Immediate paym ent of the veterans' bonus' brought conditions to a head. The President vetoed the bonus bill and congress promptly overrode that veto. So the President promptly told congress th at som ething had to be done about I t; that the only funds the treas­ ury could m uster would be by borrow­ ing and that since congress had yield­ ed to the vocal minority represented by the greatest lobby ever to populate the Capitol, it thereby captured for itself a problem of raising the money. ©f course, the" president m ust as­ sume some responsibility even though he vetoed the bonus for the reason that some of the funds which m ust be raised will go to pay the crop control benefits or bonus resulting from In- Yhlidation of the processing taxes and the A gricultural Adjustm ent act. 'T he President, as well as the political lead­ ers In congress, w ant to continue that paym ent and they also w ant to pay farm ers on commitments previously m ade because they regard them as moral obligation under the AAA con­ tracts, Yet the country is likely to think In term s of the bonus for the w ar veterans and pay little attention to the sm aller amount scheduled to go to the farm ers and, indeed, the vet­ erans’ bonus is alm ost Sixi times, that which the adm inistration desires to pay to the farm ers. • • * There was in this situation a devel­ opm ent to which I believe attention n should be c a l l e d .It s Up Through many years to Henry” ,congress has b e e n an easy s p e n d e r . Through the same years It has avoided ■at every turn laying= taxes to offset the money It voted out of the treasury. Under the Roosevelt adm inistration the peak of easy spending has been reached and congress has gone along with a vociferous “aye” on every spending proposal sent to the Capitol from the W hite House. The congressional atti­ tude to which I have referred came up In bulk a t the tim e of the bonus vote. Every time a bonus opponent In­ quired where the government Would get the money to pay the two and one- half billion to the veterans, the answ er from the bonus supporters was, In ef­ fect, “It’s up to Henry.” .I can recall a fam iliar slogan, cur­ rent when I was a boy, that was used alw ays when some one desired to-shlft responsbility—to pass the buck. It was “let George do it.” In the bonus controversy, Senator Bankhead, Demo­ crat of Alabama, was the first member of congress whom I heard say “it’s un to Henry.” H e meant that the job of raising the money belonged to Henry M orgenthau, secretary of the treasury but Senator Bankhead spoke more than his own feelings when he made the S atelU f t M He put 1040 words “ thought which permeated q » minds of a vast m ajority of unthinking te p rl sentatives. and senators. T erhaps l should pot say unthinking because those meh were, In truth thinking very deeply. Their tboughte instead of turning to song In the spring, were turning to Votl3 In Nn vember. That was the reason f £ p a t sage of the bonus.

No im agination Is required to see th at a representative or senator Is in a tough spot when he goes back home asking the suffrage of bis con­ stituents and m ust tell them at tee sam e tim e te a t he added to the tax burden which they m ust pay. ■ W ell, If that be true, how is “Henry” going to get the money? It will have to be borrowed and It will have to be borrowed on government bonds which add up into an increasing government deficit It m eans that instead of a deficit of around three billions in the next fis­ cal year, the treasury w ill be con­ fronted w ith a deficit of m ore than five billions and the public 'debt In the meantime, will have been correspond­ ingly increased. It means, in addition, th a t the banks of the country will have to pile more government bonds on top of the governm ent bonds they have thus far absorbed in financing a policy of spending our way out of the depres­ sion. The tragedy of the situation In con­ gress th at brought about Senator B ankhead’s rem ark of “it’s up to Hen­ ry” is that it Indicates th at congress has been looking upon the treasury as a source of-revenue. It is not and it never has been. Government is non­ productive. It. can get funds only by taxation, by takjng them aw ay from the people—or by borrowing and if It borrows It has to pay back. In either event, new taxation m ust come and if congress doesn’t have the nerve to pass tax legislation in this session, it m ust lay taxes in the next session. • • * The newspapers throughout the coun­ try have been full of reports concern- , Ing the early start ofCampaign the political cam- Starts Early P tisn- T he Al Smith speech, coming from the . m an who made it, brought about a sudden expansion In the polit­ ical fire. It really opened up the fight and henceforth w e are due to be sur­ feited with this claim o r that, this charge and that denial or counter­ charge, as the various-leaders m arshal their forces. Thus far, In addition to President Roosevelt's Jackson day speech to the $50-a-plate diners and Mt. Sm ite's Lib­ erty league dinner outburst, we have had active cam paigning by form ei President Hoover, by Governor Tal-' madge of Georgia, by Senator Borah, the Idaho R epublican; by Governoi .Landon, the K ansas ,Republican, and by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Dem ocratic leader in tee senate, who spoke in reply to Mr. Smith. Others are In the offing for the Republican and Dem ocratic national committees are engaging radio tim es in a. big way. As speeches and statem ents increase In number, and as fanfare grows loud­ er, I find m yself getting a bit callous to them all. I have been wondering w hether the American people have lost Hieir sense of hum or completely, he cause the situation really has a humor­ ous side. Unless the people's sense of humor- has been dreadfully seared, it seems to me they ought to be highly amused over ridiculous statem ents ,now ,being mpde on ,one side of. the fence or on the other.' Take), for in­ stance, Mr. Roosevelt’s handw ritten bonus veto message. It presented som ething a bit unusual because In my tim e in W ashington it had happened only once before that a President ve­ toed a b ill, with a handw ritten mes-. sage to congress. - Of course. It was intended to be dram atic—and it was. B ut the point Is th is: A year ago when congress passed' the bonus the President made a personal appearance In the halls of congress and read bis own veto message. H e. made his vigor­ ous fight and he rallied his supporters In line-to sustain’ hisl veto.* T here has been so much talk around W ashington since the handw ritten message went to congress that the President really w as p«t vigorously opposing passage of the bill over his veto tbat I am com­ ing to believe that w as true. In other words, be thought that imm ediate pay­ m ent of the bonus w as wrong buf ^e had a w eather eye out for the forth­ coming campaign and the votes the bonus might bring Then consider the activity of Sena­ tor Borah. I believe the Idaho sena­ tor Is too sm art to feel that he can be toe Republican nominee against Mr Roosevelt, but he is going through all m anner of gyrations just the sam e Hd has purposes and objectives In mind obviously, but teey are not the Repub­ lican Presidential nomination as he leads his various audiences to infer It Is to be recalled that Senator Borah has not a t any tim e actually said he was a candidate. .We have also th e ' circum stance of Senator RobIrison to) A1 SlDith over, the sam e radio and through substantially the same number of broadcasting stations C Wesiero Kewftpeper UeJon.

SOO1OOO Now on New Deal Rolls 'Growth of the Emergency j Bureaus Suggestive 4 of Permanence. 1 Continued and /heavy lncreasea In the number of employees of the exec­ utive branch of the government Is shown by the latest report of the Unit­ ed States CivU Service commission. The total number of employees In this one branch is now 800,079, or an in­ crease by the New Deal of 236,592 over the number on the rolls when Mr. Soosevelt assumed office. The pay roll for this branch alone w as $116,- 094,004 in October, 193S, and for th« month of November It was $118,086,- 384. : N ot only has the cost of supposedly "emergency” bureaus steadily In­ creased but recent addition of thou­ sands to the pay rolls has raised the question in W ashington as to w hether the administration has not definitely determined to make the bureaus per­ manent. In October 21,281 men and women were added to the “emergency” rolls and 8,210 more were added in November. At this time the adminis­ tration was announcing that recovery was well on its way and that the “emergency” relief goal of the New Deal had been achieved. The situation has im portant political significance for the reason that civil eerrlce laws do not affect the great army of new employees. They are se­ lected on a basis of their party regu­ larity, Chairman Farley of the Demo­ cratic National Committee having ruled that applicants expecting appointment m ast have the endorsement of Demo­ cratic committeemen In their home districts or counties. Thirty new bureaus have been add­ ed to the complex machinery of th« administration since March, 1933. Ex­ perience has proved that they are more easily created than abolished. It is difficult even to reduce them, even if reduction is desired. The NRAf declared unconstitutional in May, 1935, still carried 2,575 persons on its pay roll In the following December.... It w as; In that month that the famous steam-roller was broken up and its staff, w as distributed among other .“emergency” bureaus. In July, 1935,. Dr. Bexford 6. Tog- well announced that his.R esettlem ent !Administration w as going to discharge 8,000 of its employees. The TugweH administration had inherited something llk e l8,000 employees from other agen­ cies. ..Apparently the process of elimi­ nation was only temporary. The fol­ lowing shows how the Resettlement rolls progressed: Number of Month Employees. July .........................................................11,592 August ............................................... 14,094 September ............................................13,860 October .............................................. 14,028 November .......................................... 14.93T ' It has been estim ated that if only the employees of the new bureaus cre­ ated by the New Deal were to be placed under one roof, they would re*, quire the biggest office building In the world. ' The growth of the bureaus, w ith their immense pay rolls, is attracting more attention of late because it is /these costly bureaus that have been largely responsible for billions in red Ink on the administration’s books. New Deal Blows $230 a Second .Takes in $130 a Second in j Jamboree of Spending I and Borrowing. By DR. NEIL CAROTHERS Director of the College of Business Ad- ' ministration, Lehigh University, and I Member National Advisory Coun- j ell of the American Liberty League. ■' Our Federal Government Is spend­ ing money a t the rate of more than ,7,000 millions of dollars a year, but It is getting in revenues not much more .than half th a t The rest It is borrow­ ing, just as a man living beyond his ilncome may borrow for a while to keep up .with the Joneses. Our government Is, roughly, spending $230 for every : second of every minute of every honr •of every day and every night It has been doing this for two years. B ut it :1s taking In less than $130 per second. I t is borrowing a t the rate of $100 a second. I The government is borrowing these incredible sums chiefly from the banks. ,This autom atically results In a swol­ len and morbid condition of bank re­ serves and bank cred it The combina­ tion of an uncertain currency system 'and a bloated credit condition is as !explosive as dynamite. It may explode in a national inflation.^ j Inflation Hit*: W age-Earner. The first consequence of inflation Is a rapid and feverish rise of prices, In j stocks, In raw m aterials, in retail goods. This rise of prices is always !far ahead of the wages and salaries Iof the great mass of the people. Tlie -Immediate result is a rising cost of !living. This Is a practical thing. Tliere J s no theory about i t It falls most Iw tfBy- Wi the wage-earner, the small MlaMed man, the man or woman on a sm all income. It means that the chil­ dren of the poor have a little less to eat, that houses are a little colder In the winter, that father does not get a new overcoat As inflation progresses it eats into savings accounts. Even a small Infla­ tion will take away all the Interest on savings and then cut pieces off the ac­ count itself, faster than the owner can add to I t As it moves on, inflation re­ duces the value of all fixed incomes, from bonds, building and loan shares, preferred stock, and life insurance pol­ icies. Slowly but surely It eats away the living of the widow and orphan, takes boys out of school and college, sends old people out to bunt work or charity, and destroys the life-long accumulations of thrifty and hard­ working people. It destroys universi­ ties and hospitals, charities and pen­ sion systems, wills and lnteritances. Inflation’s Ultimate R esult In the final stages of a ruinous in­ flation a nation’s trade Is destroyed. Its industries paralyzed, Its capital eaten o u t A m erchant will sell all his goods a t a handsome profit week after week, only to find himself bankrupt at the end. A workman will labor all week and find on Saturday that his wages have been going down every day. There Is a popular notion that in­ flation hurts the rich but not the poor. Inflation hurts everybody, rich and poor. B ut it falls most heavily on the wage-earner, on the little fellow. In Germany Inflation drove the plain peo­ ple to black bread and paper clothes, but it also destroyed the prosperous classes. No class can escape, unless It be a very small class of manipulators and gamblers. Knox Versatile Out-of-Door Man Business Man, Editor, Party Worker Keepf? Fit as He Works Hard. In Frank Knox, the Chicago publish­ er, Illinois Republicans, who have unanimously endorsed him for the Re­ publican nomination for President, have offered to the country the most versatile m an In public life since Theo­ dore R oosevelt Unlike Roosevelt, how­ ever, Frank Knox has had an out­ standing business and professional ca­ reer and has never held public office. H e is recognized as one of the best business men In the'- newspaper busi­ ness. As an editor, his editorials have revealed an intelligent, alert and vig­ orous personality which have made him a public figure. In; the metropolitan press o f today such a combination of business acumen and editorial ability in one man is on common. While engaged In .making a success of his newspapers, Knox has achieved distinction In many other directions. He made an enviable record as a vol­ unteer soldier In two wars. He has been in politics for thirty years, serv­ ing as precinct worker, state chair­ man, national convention floor leader for a Presidential candidate and has stumped two-thirds of the Union for national, congressional and state can­ didates. On business, financial, economic, so­ cial w elfare and political issues, Knox has always been on the liberal and progressive sflde of the! argum ent His public record of battles against mo­ nopoly, for social justice, for the bet­ term ent of farm and. labor conditions and against un-American, coercive pol­ icies, fully attest this fa c t In all his endeavors he has manifested vision and vigor as well as. a keen sense of moral and spiritual values. Knox plays as he works and it is In his out-of-door life that he has shown a versatility even greater than that of Theodore R opsevelt Knox has not only been a hunter and a fisher­ man, but has paddled his own canoe through most of the rapids of the upper G reat Lakes. H e has .driven his own pack train over the plains and moun­ tains ot half a dozen western states, ridden horseback over, the mountains of New England and has followed a “chuck-wagon" and hejped the Apaches in their fall round-up. He has visited every Indian reservation in the coun­ try. Knox can sail a boat, run a launch or automobile. H e w as an early devotee of the ski, the skate and the toboggan and Is an expert swim­ mer. Nowadays he packs a heavy bag of golf dubs' and has used them on links In all parts of .the. country. Early in his married life Mr. and Mrs. Knox explored the G reat Lakes and Hndson Bay country. Moose and deer, trout and the “musky” fell be­ fore their prowess with rifle and rod. Mrs. Knox proving an expert, fly-fish- erman. From his log cabin home on the S t Mary’s river, Knox went to work or to cruise in his launch, sail­ boat or canoe. There he learned the Ice and snow sports. In New England he added horsebnck riding to his ac­ complishments. As a member; of the Board of Int'lan Commissioners ho made his vsu-ations riding expeditions to the out of-the-way : Indian reserva­ tions wllh Mrs. Knosf They; studied tiie InOUns and took/steps In W ash­ ington to remedy th^Jr, llvli^g. condi- Hon?, an interest fH^ySsfill WrtJiBue. While engaged In .'this worfc;-;Knox clrared the Montana range of\30,<XHI useless wild horses w tteh were canned and sent to Japan. In their place he bad Hie army remount service send blooded stallions to be bred with the rugged cow and Indian ponies of the Northwest. The jesu lt lias been bet­ ter mounts for the army and better horses for flie Indians. Although Knox has nerPP Jieiu f>uo- lie office, with this record in front of them, Illinois Republicans do not h'esl-. tate to proclaim the qualifications of their candidate as an all-around, up- to-date, constructive man and states­ man. When you touch the pocket book nerve of the average citizen dyna­ mite comes to life. I, u M 111 Ii 11 Tm 11 Ti i Ii I Ii Ii Ti in i m u IiiiTTTTrTT^*■■■■■■! I "DR.R.P.

GIlb talk about making the Constitu- tltion more “flexible” constitutes a m ajor item in the stock in trade of the present administration. i -From the President on down, admin­ istration spokesmen have been volu­ ble on this subject So far they have not “w ritten the amendment” in re-, sponse to the challenge to do so issued by Senator Borah of Idaho following the President’s lengthy speech to newspaper correspondents voicing his displeasure because the Supreme C ourr Invalidated NBA codes. However, It the utterances of administration spokesmen have any meaning at all, it is that they favor abolition of the power of the Supreme Court to p«ss upon the constitutionality of legis­ lation. . W euld Nullify Constitution. Such an amendment, if adopted, would mean the practical nullification of the Constitution. It would mean th at Congress and the President could then do anything which they might choose to do w ith the rights and privileges of American citizens, as guaranteed by the Constitution at present. It would mean—and this is not in any way a far-fetched sugges­ tion—that a dominating President and a rubber stam p Congress could trans­ form our present American constitu­ tional system into a one man dictator­ ship. v _ W hat the 'Stakes Are. W hat have the American people at stake in this possibility? In the .ireuinstances -outlined, Con­ gress couM establish a state religion and tell., us a t w hat church we m ust worship. It could prohibit free speech. It could abolisliA rfrbe press. It could prohibit citizens from assembling to petition, the governm ent. It could pre­ v en t a 'citizen from having arms for his own" protection. It could provide - for the ^quartering, of soldiers in our households in tim e-of peace. It could authorize the searching o f'o u r homes and the seizure of our goods and pa­ pers w ithout cause or reason. It could -authorize the issuance of a w arrant' for the arrest of any citizen a t the whim of some official and w ithout any supporting oath or affirmation. It could provide for the seizure of prop­ erty w ithout com pensation. It could .abolish the right of trial by jury and the suprem e right to an im partial trial. It could provide for cruel and unjust punishm ent and fo r excessive bail and fines. In other words, every protection which the Constitution has thrown about-the individual citizen for whose benefit it was adopted would be entire­ ly withdrawn and the people of Amer­ ica would be subject to the autocratic whim of the temporary governing body just as are many of the people of Eu­ rope today. W a s h i n g t o n N e w s M a d e U n d e r s t a n d a b l e The vast amount of news ema­ nating from the national capi­ tal today is apt to be confusing to the average reader. The rap­ idly changing scenes, the many new projects that are being un­ dertaken, are difficult to follow. To help you to get a clear-jia- derstanding of the events taking place in the capital we are pro­ viding for you each week the Washington written by W illiam Bruckart, noted capital correspondent Mr. Bruckarfs clear interpretation of what is_going on makes the W ashington scene understand­ able. No m atter w hat your po­ litical beliefs you - will find B ruckarfs column interesting and fair because it is always un­ biased. Make a habit of reading this feature every-week if you want to be well informed, r It m iglit surprise som e school teachers to know how little the av­ erage pupil gets out oi a school term. W e agree with Senator Borah wheu he aavs that if .the ,choice m ust be made be prefers govern­ ment regimentation to monopoly regimentation. _ Executor’s Having qualifitd as executors of the es* tate of the late Miss Julia Cliristiaua Mli- ler, of Davie county.

Mr. Hoosevelt recog- L ] Wlien the AAA was invalidated, ,tat the other three crop-control laws MiW be Of no further use because S H they « e re Iire1, .licnted upon the nation- i ian- He recognized further that to KBain !Kiainant would be only to per­ mit delay >'i invalidation of those Jhrec laws because they were all head­ ed for an adverse decision by the Su- nreme court anyway. In seeking their repeal therefore, JIr. Roosevelt Sim- ,It toot time by the forelock and gird- Ws armor for a fresh start on farm relief legation. Where or in what form the new farm legislation "ill finally emerge, none tan foretell. The house and senate rill pass some kind of legislation to supplant the laws invalidated by the tcnrt or repealed by congress. Neces­ sarily, this new farm legislation will ltofa stop-gap character and I don’tbe- Itoe that any of its ardent supporters tan tell you exactly what the result till be in so far as its effect upon agri­ culture is concerned. As far n? the compromises have been mtei out. it appears that some of tie leaders are willing again to enact Wslation directed at crop-control in j semi-corapulsory manner. If that is forthcoming, tlie new law actually will be nothin; more than a thinly dis­ guised attempt to circumvent the pro­ hibitions Ifiid down in the Suprem e court opinion Iiolding the AAA uncon­ stitutional. In any event, the tragedy In the situation appears to me to be Ibe atamee of clear thinking, or else Ibe circumstances we see represent po­ litical cowardice of the w orst type. Il Is to be remembered that in this mim of congress m ore than any oth- ff since President Koosevelt took of­ fice, there exist a greater num ber of Kws; cross currents of opinion; par­ tial jealousy. A great deal of it is in opposition to brain tru st policies sponsored by tlie Xew Deal but for pcHtical reasons the individuals who oppose these things dare not openly slow their disapproval of Presidential policies as such. Thus, a consensus las arisen among W ashington observ­ es that representatives and senators concerned with directing enactm ent of farm legislation are likely to mess tPtbesituation rather than come forth with a definite and workable proposi- * * • The situation at the W hite House Ml in congress in connection with p . agricultural policiesrarnsan probab]y is the best rohtics Rule illustration In a defi­ nite, tangible form, many important federal policies re being dealt with in a partisan po­ etical Bay rather than, as they should tlm-Ii 8 scientifiC manner with partisan Mtics in the background.

Practical men w orking w ith Secretary W allace and A dm inistrator D avis w ere steadily trying to accom­ plish changes In adm inistration of the AAA law, and the three others as well, to make It workable. They w ere con­ fronted, however, w ith a superabun­ dance of brain trusters who could m ake a beautiful case in print for their views and during th at tim e the brain trusters had the ear of the President w hile the practical adm inistrators were left out In the cold. It Is thus that we see a development under the New Deal w hereby m ost of the responsible people are attem pting to dodge the responsibility th at be­ longs to them. Some of them are at­ tem pting to clean their own skirts, or m ake their skirts appear clean, by dam ning the Suprem e court; others are blam ing our “system ” for failure of the theories to work In practical ap­ plication and still other groups point the finger of scorn at those charged w ith adm inistration of the agricultural policy, blaming them for the failure. Things like this have developed before in W ashington and have died down in due tim e but I believe th at seldom, if ever, has occurred a situation in which the responsibility w as so general and the blame so generally denied by thos* responsible. * * * W ashington observers are watching the President's latest m aneuvers on governm ent financemust Cut with considerable In. B orrow ing te re st The Presi­ dent, yon know,-.al­ ready has told agencies of the govern­ m ent that are equipped w ith borrowing, power that they m ust reduce this borrowing. He has, in effect, w ith­ draw n from them authorization that would have perm itted the borrowing of about $1,000 ,000,000 during the next year. D uring the last few weeks, the Chief Executive has been concerned also w ith reduction in governmental spending and at the same tim e with plans to raise additional money. H e has presented a tax bill to congress, an obstinate congress. R epresenta­ tives and senators do not like to cam­ paign after passing a new tax bill so they frankly do not like the idea of new taxes at this time. It is too early to forecast the full im portance of the President’s latest moves. There are those who insist that Mr. Roosevelt is making a sincere effort to cut down governm ent spend­ ing and to convince the nation th at he is seeking to reduce the w aste th at is naturally attendant upon such a vol­ ume of disbursem ents of money as has taken place In the last three years. T here are others who take the posi­ tion th at the President Is sim ply build- Ing up a picture which can be shown to the voters when election tim e comes. They say that>M r. Roosevelt w ants-to be In a position to point to an accom­ plished reduction in federal expendi­ tures and to assure the. voters that he had perm itted only such expenditures as were necessary to bring the country out of the depression. An unbiased conclusion is that a lit­ tle of each claim is true. If expendi­ tures actually are reduced, obviously the action will be welcomed by the tax­ payers. On the other hand, the bally­ hoo that went but from the /White House and executive departments con­ cerning the-withdrawal of borrowing power was rather unjustified. It was unjustified for the reason that the move was simply a bookkeeping propo­ sition and, further, there was even a hint that such agencies as the Re­ construction Finance corporation and Home Owners Loan corporation had no plans for borrowing extensively dur­ ing the forthcoming summer and fail. If one looks into the future In con-, nectlon with the Presidential program of curtailing borrowing and cutting ex­ penditures, it is rather difficult to es­ cape the thought that a continuation of policies such as have been spon­ sored by. the New Deal In the last three years will force a renewal of tbes<^ ex­ penditures In due'course. In other words, the administration course re­ specting t h e s e expenditures is going to depend upon the results of the ber election: If M r. Koosevelt is re­ turned to the w hite House and he^con­ tinues with a substantial Democratic majority In congress, thF e ls ”° , ' son' to believe that present spending policies will be e n tir e ly abandoned.

H o lly w o o d is full of people who have succeeded on the screen? and yearn to do the same on the air. Now that stars of the stage and the radio have shown that they can walk In­ to a movie studio and become a s u c c e s s , practically overnight, no motion picture star is as secure as he was in the old days. And the only remedy for that situation is a ca­ reer on the air as well. But comparatively few of these movie folk can sing well enough to broadcast suc­ cessfully. The answ er to that is a sketch. And good sketches are, alas, all too few. For example, take our friend Mr. Robinson, of “Little Caesar” fame. When he w as on the Vallee hour re­ cently, he had to fall back on a sketch that had been -done not too long ago— only last summer, if a memory not backed up by notes Is reliable. So—both in Hollywood and New York, anyone who can manage a type­ w riter is besieged by people begging for “something I can do on the radio.” If you can fill th at demand, go ahead, and gobd luck to you! —-K— We may not see “It Can’t Happen Here" on the screen after all. The Hays office has requested th at the mak- ing of it be deferred, at least, the rea­ son being that tha political situation in it might cause mob trouble—and all this after thousands of dollars have already been spent on it! —-K— Money also went, down the drain when “Elegance” was abandoned. Joan Crawford and Clifton Webb were to have made it—W ebb is famous for his work as a dancer on the stage. He was at the studio for three months, on sal­ ary, w orking on dance steps. And, then, come to find _out, Joan-had been work­ ing on an entirely different type of dance steps. So they- had words, and now the picture won’t be made a t a ll —-K - W eep for Claudette Colbert.

Taxes will cut that down, however, to 9 bit less than $25,000.

A South Sea Island’s Penthouse. P rep a red b y N attonat G eographic Society, W ashington, D. C.— W N U Service. C USTOMS have changed little In some of the South Sea islands despite frequent visits by w hite men. On the island of Ontong Java, a native’s power is based upon his wealth. The w ealthy native pays higher prices than his poor neighbors. As a 'daughter becomes old enough for marriage, the parents bedeck her w ith colored dyes. F irst they smear the youthful body w ith coconut oil and then rub on the dyes, forming gay pat­ terns. A string of shark’s teeth then is placed on her head and ornaments of turtle shell suspended from the lobes of her ears. Holes in the two alae (the outer portions of the nostrils) and the sep­ tum of her nose are made during baby­ hood. Small shell ornaments hang from the septum and feathers plucked from birds adorn the nostrils and hair. Around her neck is a necklace of hu­ man hair and her belt and bracelet are of w hite coconut leaves. Thus odorned, and with a bright yellow skirt cover­ ing the lower portion of her body, she parades' with her father and senior relatives around the village. At this time the prospective husband knows it is tim e for him to go to his wife. T hat evening he visits her in her house. F or a tim e the young wife stays with her parents;. The groom visits the wife at her' parents’ house but he leaves his fishing paraphernalia at his father’s house. H e m ust provide her with a certain amount of raw food-and she gives him cooked food and taro. W hen priests were in power, the m other, a t the birth of the first-born child, w ent to tlie house of one of them to preserve both herself and the child from evil influences. She was, and still is, assisted by her mother, mother-in-law, and a midwife. The husband was present until the child was actually born, but then he had to leave the house and remain away for about a year. This custom is still fol­ lowed. Two Days of Noise Shortly after the birth, the mother- in-law strikes a wooden pillow. This is the signal for everyone in the house to make a noise by beating on anything available. The din is kept up for 48 hours w ithout ceasing. It is the ex­ pression of joy that a new life has been added to the community. On this and the subsequent evening the relatives of the young m other and father assemble outside the house In sem ifestal dress—that is to say, oiled and adorned with sweet-smelling herbs and flowers. They sing the birth song; then march around the streets, singing at every corner. The first-born is al­ ways named for a dead priest, but sub­ sequent children receive names of an­ cestors. The ceremonies described are per­ form ed only for the first-born; other children come into the world almost w ithout ceremony, except^ th at the m other m ust rem ain w ithiif doors for about two m onths after the birth. W hen the child is a first-born the moth­ er m ust rem ain w ithin the house for the next year and m ust keep the child w ith her during this period; The hus­ band may not visit his wife all this time, and consequently he does not see his child until it has its first birthday. No w ritten record of a person’s age is kept. The young father, while he Is ex­ cluded |from his wife, has two holes cut in the alae of the nose, each about half an inch long. This is an extrem e­ ly painful process, but most men are willing to subm it to it because it is a sign that they are. now fathers and therefore men of some standing. Pieces of coconut shell are c u t into rings about one inch across and one- fifth of an inch wide; A cut L-: made through the ring, and the two ends are forced apart by means of a smalt stick placed diam etrically across.' Four of the rings are fitted on each side of the aose and Hed Jnto place. The pieces of stick are then knocked out. The resuit is that the tw o ends of the ring bite into the flesh of the nose, and In two or three days a hole has beeii cut through the flesh. -The .rings are left In for about ten days. They are then removed and the holes are stuffed with folded coconut leaf to prevent them from closing; np. On special occasions ornaments of tur­ tle shell are hung in the holes. A fter m arriage and birth the most im portant customs relate to death. There are elaborate funeral rites and ceremonies, which are practically iden­ tical for both men and women. Funeral Rites. As soon as the dying person’s heart ceases to beat, the mother, wife’s daugh­ ters, and other female relatives give way to long-drawn-out wails at the top of their voices. The wails never cease, except in pauses for breath, until the corpse is under ground. The louder the wails, the more the other rela­ tives are pleased. Indeed, if the ulula- tlons are not loud, enough, neighbors and villagers are noisily critical and foretell that the ghost of the dead man w ill be annoyed and send sickness. Natives of Leuanlua, Ontong Java, do not conceive of any causes of ill­ ness except the supernatural. AU dis­ eases and. deaths are caused by the evil intervention of the spirits of those already dead. The corpse Is taken into the road in front of thie‘house and washed. It Is then returned Inside, the hair is cut, and the body is rubbed thoroughly with coconut oil. Turtle-shell ornam ents are put In the ears and, if the dead person is .a'fipftti,. -;teg(ejr\spe^ieiis..ot these ornam eD ts'are hnSg from the holes in the alae of the nose. In the case of a "woman, a small shell ornament is hung from the hole In the septum. Garlands are hung around the neck and bound on the brow. Ceremony of Mourning. • A fter the evening meal, which is taken about 7 p. m. or slightly later, the mourning ceremony begins. The corpse Is laid on a new m at in the center of tlie house. At its feet, with their backs to it and 'their faces to the fire, sit the son3 and daughters-In-Iaw. The rest of the house is filled with the other relatives of the dead per­ son. If he w as a man of wealth and importance, as many of the villagers as can possibly squeeze In will do so and many others crowd arond the doors. In a climate like that of Leuaniua, which is only five degrees south of the Equator, a small house containing a corpse and a huge fire and packed w ith people, and with all the normal ventila­ tion blocked by others, the atmosphere soon becomes almost intolerable. The relatives and friends—except the closer female relatives, who continue weeping aloud, frequently drowning the other voices—sing dirges all through the night. The latter em­ brace the corpse and at Intervals rub it w ith oil. In the course of the wake the family of the dead man give to­ bacco to all and sundry. Almost every­ one in the village will come to the wake held for a wealthy man, sure of getting a few free sticks of tobacco for a dirge. W ith the dawn all save the Imme­ diate relatives depart. Preparations are then made for burial. Burying Their Dead. There are five cem teries a t Leaanlua and a t least one on alm ost every one „of the other larger Islands. Moldering headstones stand' In rows running roughly north-south, for the feet of the corpse m ust always be toward the setting sun. Each family has Its own ground. Be­ cause of the large num ber'O f deaths recently, many of the graves have more than one occupant Indeed, gravedig­ gers, with their canoe-paddle shovels, not Infrequently disturb as many as three skeletons to make a resting place foe ji corpse. The. corpse is deposited on the ground and the m ats are removed, sa that the widow can have a final weep while the last sleeping place is being prepared. The body, after being well oiled once again, is smeared w ith tnmerlc. Each mourner, embraces the corpse, generally throwing the shroud over himself as he does so. Then the wrappings are again replaced and the bundle Is lowered into the grave with ropes. , The men retire and allow the women to fill In the hole, the closest relatives actually standing inside it and beating the earth flat with their’ open palms. -Then they all wade Into- the sea and bathe.

The subject of this lesson as chosen by the lesson committee needs to be most rigidly held to its place a-> set forth in the Scriptures. The lesson should'not be taught In a general wav as pertaining to vision and scrilce The particnlar vision herein set forth is the unveiling of the m ajestic per­ son of the Son of God, with an epit­ ome of the messianic kingdom. Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and went into the mount to pray. His chief aim in retirem ent was to get the disciples into a state of receptivitiy so that he might show them the reality and method of his kingdom. Before going into the mount, he declared that . there were some standing in his presence who would not taste death until they should see the Son of man coming in his kingdom (Luke 9:27; Cf. M att. 16:28). That their drooping spirits might be revived and their confidence restored, he wa3 transfigured before them. Two men from the upper world were sent to converse with him about his ap­ proaching death in Jerusalem (v. 31)— the very thing about which the dis­ ciples refused to talk. Then, too, God’s own voice was heard in words of approval of C hrist’s course, direct­ ing them to hear the M aster. Surely now they cannot doubt his ability to carry to execution his kingdom plans. The purpose, then, of the transfigura­ tion was to give the disciples a fore­ gleam of the coming kingdom, to en­ able them to see the kingdom in its embryonic form. That this is true is not only shown by the, context and circumstances, but by the inspired in-, terpretation of one who was with him and knew all that transpired (see Il P e t 1:16-19, R. V.), Let us, there­ fore, note the outstanding features of the kingdom as displayed in the trans­ figuration. I. Jesus C hrist the Glorified King on Mount Zion (w . 28, 29). Jesus glorified on the mount, to which they went to pray was intended to symbolize the messianic kingdom as it will be when Christ returns literally to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem (Zech. 14:4-17). II. The Glorified Saints W ith Christ (vv. 30, 31). 1. Moses, who was once denied en­ trance into Palestine, appears now in glory, representing the Redeemed of the Lord who after death shall pass into the kingdom. Many thousands of the redeemed have fallen asleep, and at the coming of the Lord shall be awakened to appear in the kingdom with him. 2. Elijah, now glorified, represents the redeemed who shall pass into the kingdom through translation. Many shall be living upon the earth when the Lord comes,- and shall, without dying, be changed, and thus pass into the kingdom (I Cor. 15:50-53: I Thess. 4:14-18). 3. The topic of conversation (v. 31). Tt was the- death of Christ, the very thing the disciples refused to believe. III. Israel In the Flesh in Connec­ tion W ith the Kingdom, Represented I>y Peter, James, and John (v. 28). Israel shall be called from their hid­ ing place among the nations of the earth and shall b e ‘gathered to Jesus Christ, the King, as the central peo­ ple In the kingdom (Ezek. 37:21-27). Christ is the EiDg of the Jews. 1. Peter’s proposal to build three tabernacles (v. 33); The Feast of the Tabernacles looked forward to the glorious reign of Christ.. Peter caught glimpse of ttie significance of the transfiguration. His proposition showed that he apprehended the meaning of the Feast of the Taber­ nacles and, therefore, his proposition substantially was, “The millennium is come: let us celebrate.” 2. The divine voice (v. 35). At this tim e.God himself uttered words which assured them that the transfigured one was his Son. Jesus Christ. IV. The Multitude at the Foot of the -Mount (vv. 37-43). The people here were grievously op­ pressed by the devil, as illustrated by the demon-possessed lad. There are times when the devil is especially ac­ tive in the affairs of men. The mul­ titude at the foot of the mount is rep­ resentative of the-nations,w hich shall be brought Into the kingdom which shall he established over Israel (Isa 11:10-12). Inquiry inquiry is human ; blind obedience brutal. Truth never loses by the one. but often" suffers by the other.

PICKARD © Western Newspaper Union, A Senator Norris SPEAKING In- advocacy of the admin­ istration’s substitute farm ' bilk Senator Norris, the independent Re­ publican from Nebraska, scathingly at­ tacked the Supreme court's AAA decision and urged congress to use its right to curb the court’s power. He argued that the 6 to 3 decision itself was un- ® constitutional by the |§ § court’s own reasoning and shouted “It can­ not stand.” “The regulation of agricultural produc­ tion, they say, is un­ constitutional because not mentioned In the Constitution,” Norris asserted. “Nowhere in that great document is there a syllable, a word, or a sentence giving to any court the right to declare an act of congress unconstitutional. Hence, when the court indulges in that pas­ time it is itself violating the Constitu­ tion according to its own words.” N orris quoted from the m ajority opinion of the Supreme court holding that the regulation and control of agricultural production was a local af­ fair reserved to the states and beyond the power of .congress. Under that de­ cision, he declared, not only the pend­ ing bill but “a large portion of the laws which congress has passed dur­ ing the last hundred years are abso­ lutely unconstitutional.” Of the later decision ordering return of processing taxes to the processors, the senator said Secretary W allace perhaps w as too severe iD calling it the greatest legalized steal In history, and added: “B ut it is a gift, the greatest gift since God made salvation free.” Norris urged that congress pass a law requiring unanimous decisions by the Supreme court to overrule the acts of the legislative branch of the gov­ ernm ent LINCOLN day w as the occasion for a flood of oratory, largely by Re­ publican opponents of the New Deal. H erbert Hoover spoke a t Portland. Ore., on the “State o f'th e Union,” which he said was a state of confusion In thought, government, economic life and the ideals of liberty. “The New Deal,” said the form er President, “has been a veritable fountain of fear. The day after the New. Deal was given life a t the election of 1932: began the great fear which created; the bank panic of M arch 4. The stock boom today is not from confidence In the future; It is partly from fear of in­ flation.” In Greensboro, N. C., Senator Dick­ inson of Iowa warmly defended the Supreme court as “the only remaining guardian of the liberty of the people,” and inveighed against w hat he said w as -the New Deal’s “planned econ omy" and its “attem pted bribeii of the states” through the Invalidated AAA and its proposed substitute the soil conservation measuse. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan was a speaker in New York city, and like his fellow Republicans he fiercely assailed the adm inistration, terming it the “third party now Id power.” AmoDg the few leading Democrats heard was Secretary W allace, who, in Indianapolis, defended the adm inistra­ tion. Referring to the Constitution, he declared that “m ost of us” thought the agriculture adjustm ent act was valid, and “some of us, including three Justices of the Supreme court, think so still.” O H A R L E S CURTIS, form er Vice President of the U nited.States and before that representative and sena­ tor from Kansas, died suddenly of heart disease at the W ashington home of bis brother-in-law and sister, . Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Gann. He was seventy-six years old, and was the first man of Indian blood ever to preside over the senate. He was one-quarter Kaw In­ dian, his grandm other having been Princess Julie of that tribe who Charles married a French" v«y- Curtis ageur. In his boyhood Curtis was a jockey, and later a reporter. Having studied law, he became a prosecutor at the age of twenty-four Iu Shawnee county, Kansas, and was elected to congress in 1892.. He was made sen­ ator IU 1907,:-was defeated In 1012 and two years later was again elected Senator. He was "elected Vice Presi­ dent on the ticket headed by H erbert Hoover, and was renominated for that position In 193” . Mr. C urtis was greatly liked "by his associates In W ashington and his death caused genuine grief. President Roose­ velt said: “I am deeply, distressed to' learn of the sudden passing of my old friend Charles Curtis. W hether they kiew him as a senator, as the Vice Presi­ dent of the United States, or as the man he was In his own right, his le­ gion of friends will- remember him always affectionately, and will mourn his passing." Vice President G arner said: “I w as-alw ays fond of him. I was associated w ith’ him in the house and senate. He w as a fine m an and a good friend.” * Funeral services for M r. C urtis and the interm ent were in Topeka, Kan. ONCE again the Supreme court of the United S tates' comes to" the rescue of a free press. Unanimously the nine justices ruled th a t'th e Louisi­ ana law imposing a punitive tax on the advertising of the principal newspa­ pers of that state is unconstitutional. The law was passed by a. Iegislatnre controlled by the late Senator Huey LoDg. The court said of it: “It Is bad because, in the light of Its history and of its present setting, it is seen to be a deliberate and cal­ culated device in the guise of a tax to lim it the circulation of inform ation to which the public is entitled In virtue of the constitutional guarantee. “A free press stands as one of the great Interpreters between the govern­ m ent and the people. To allow it tq be fettered is to fetter ourselves. “In view of the persistent search for new subjects of taxation, it is not w ithout significance that, w ith the single exception of the Louisiana statute, so far as we can discover, no state during the ISO years of our na­ tional existence has undertaken to impose a tax like that now In ques7 tion. “The form In which the tax is im­ posed is In itself suspicious. It Is not m easured or Rmited by the volume of advertisem ent It is measured alone by the extent of the circulation of the publication in which the advertise­ ments are carried, with the plain pur­ pose of penaUzing the publishers and curtailing the circulation of a selected group of newspapers." D. Baker LETTERS have been sent by Pres­ ident Roosevelt to the heads of the Latin-AmericaD governments inviting them to participate in a Pan-American conference, probably in W ashington, the purpose of which w ill be to or­ ganize the peace machinery of the western hemisphere. Our State de­ partm ent says the m eeting will en­ deavor to provide means for adjusting internatinonal disputes by peaceful means. The conference may bring up the Monroe D octrine for a new defi­ nition through m ultilateral - endorse­ ment. PR E S ID E N T WILLIAM L RANSOM * of the American B ar assoeatlon, with headquarters In Chicago, an­ nounced that Newton D. Baker, for­ m er secretary of war, has accepted the chairm anship of the association’s special committee on co-oper­ ation between the press, radio and bar against publicity in­ terfering with fair trial of judicial and quasi-judiclal proceed­ ings. The creation of this special committee to define standards to be recommended to lawyers, newspapers and radio broad­ casters in the m atter of publicity as to court trials, said the announcement, is an outcome of the incidents arising in the course of the Bruno H auptm ann trial and various proceedings before governmental boards and bodies, “and it is hoped that such standards can be made effective through rules of court or through legislation." A CCOBDING to the London Dally -UA Herald, a secret decree providing for expulsion of all Jew s from Ger­ many as rapidly as possible has been prepared by Nazi leaders and laid be­ fore Chancellor H itler for his signa­ ture. The paper said the decree pro, vided for the confiscation of aU prop­ erty of expelled Jews. ■ This story may not be true, but there Is no doubt that H itler and his associ­ ates are determined to extirpate all the organizations and groups which they consider in opposition to the Nazi regime, and H itler hlmself has de­ clared the Jew s are to blame for all the troubles of the reich In recent years. Scores of Catholic youth lead­ ers have been arrested, charged with co-operation with illegal Communist groups, and it is predicted their or­ ganizations will be dissolved. The campaign is carried on with great secrecy. It was announced in Berlin that district governors henceforth would take orders from the Gestapo th e-secret.state police. This was. in ­ terpreted as an indication of an W mediate carrying out of promises bv Nazi leaders for more ruthless, more determined action against enemies within the reich. p RESIDENT LAZARO CARDENAS , of Mexico , went to M onterrey to investigate a stoppage of business and industry In protest against labor trou­ bles -attributed ,,to. Communists. - He issued this ultim atum : “Em ployers who are fatigued by Mexico’s soda! and economic struggle can turn over their industries to the w orkers or the goyernm ent-that would be patriotic But stoppage of activities cannot be countenanced.” A MERICA’S delegates to the naval i f conference In London consented to an agreem ent th a t would bind this country fo r five years or m ore to re­ frain from building any m ore cruisers In excess of 8,000 tons In size. - W hen the new s reached W ashington there was Immediate and loud protest in congress against w hat vqas term ed a “colossal- blunder.” H igh ranking navy officials refused to comment officially upon the Lon­ don agreem ent, but said privately, th at any program which does not include the co-operation of Japan and Ger­ m any would be a failure. Any agreem ent will not affect the navy's present bnildiDg program , these officials pointed out, and they refused to .be alarm ed about the prosp'ect of future'lim itations. TRIAL of the assassins of King Al­ exander of Jugoslavia at M ar­ seilles came to an end a t Aix-en-Prov­ ence, France, w ith verdicts of guilty for the six defendants. For three of the band -of Croats, members of the secret U stachi society, who were ap­ prehended, mercy w as recommended and they w ere given sentences of life imprisonm ent In French Guiana. The others, who never w ere caught, were sentenced to death. One of the latter is Dr. Ante Pavelich, reputed head of the Ustachi. Elm er B O’H ara ELM ER S . ’O’HARA, Dem ocratic state chairm an of M ichigan and form er clerk of W ayne county, which includes D etroit; State Senator A. J. W ilkowski and 16 others of lesser prom­ inence w ere convicted In D etroit of having attem pted to steal the 1934 election. E ight defendants In the re­ count case, which had been on trial for nearly 12 weeks, were acquitted. Two other defendants previously had pleaded guilty, thus bringing to 20 the num ber facing sen­ tence for tbelr p art in the vote reconnt conspiracy. F o r O’H ara, the verdict cam e as the culm ination of a series of calami­ ties In a brief political career. L ast November a jury In Macomb county, adjacent to W ayne, found him guilty of bribery in a drainage transaction In connection w ith real estate deals, be had made before 1932 when he en­ tered politics and w as elected W ayne county clerk. H e aw aits sentence under tbat conviction. A fter conviction he*was removed from office. In the reconnt case O 'H ara w as found guilty on three counts, perm itting others to alter ballots, conspiring to perm it others to alter ballots, and con­ spiring to perm it others to "conduct the recount in an unlaw ful m anner and change the result of the November. 1934, election by putting Dem ocrats In office instead of the Republicans elected. LEADERS of congress hope for an early adjournm ent, by May I at the latest, and therefore they pushed the new farm bill forw ard, trying to get it through both houses w ithout much delay. In tbeir desire to get aw ay from tbe Capital, they already bad decided to let the proposed per­ m anent neutrality legislation go by the board. The farm bill as rew ritten by the senate agriculture committee is based on the soil erosion prevention scheme. Some Dem ocrats joined with m any Re­ publicans in opposing the m easure, one of them being Senator W aIsb of M as­ sachusetts. In a statem ent issued to the press he declared It w as a “dan­ gerous” bill conferring "autocratic and blanket authority” on the secretary of agriculture. He said tbe m easure was “neither valid In law nor valid In economics.” Chairman Doughton of the house ways and meaDs committee said be expected definite word from the W hite House or treasury soon on the am ount and kind of taxes that m ight be im­ posed to finance the new farm pro­ gram. Speaker Byrns .sald-he. could- see no reason why the tax m easure should not emerge from the committee by tbe end of February. A CTION against John J.

CHAPTER VI—Continued — 6 ■■ •‘lie likes me!” the girl laughed hap­ pily. ‘‘Why shouldn’t he?” Toung asked with all sovriety. “That dog’s got sense!” Tlieu lie laughed at her dis­ comfiture. He started hack toward his camp, and had gone lialt-way from Nan's headquarters to the mill when he saw a man running along the railroad track toward the trestle. Then an­ other. And from West’s Landing, three more were crossing rapidly. . . . Then a scream reached his ears. “Something stirring!” he muttered, and began to trot. “W hat’s up?” Young called to a man. “Somebody fell In!” A woman’s scream cut the air sharp­ ly, and Young saw a man grasp her •arms, holding her from hurling her­ self into the swirling current below. “Kid, I’ll bet. Tip!" he muttered. Sure enough, a child. “Little girl !” a boy answered excitedly when he asked the question again. “Dunno who I” K erry paused a t , the water’s edge and jerked at his pac laces. “Tip!” The dog, tail vibrating as this excitement infected him, peered eagerly into his face. “Somebody in th ere; in the river. On the bottom. . . . F etch!” In went the retriever, swimming rap­ idly straight out from shore. Tip cir­ cled slowly in the current, head tilted, trying to see below the surface. Then suddenly he dived. He did not go deep; his tail protruded, and he was under but a second. "Fetch, Tip!” Young cried sharply when he came up. Seconds meant life. . . . ' A half-dozen men were In the river, diving from logs or from the trestle, all searching blindly. And then, below and outside .these frantic searchers. Tip came up with a sharp little yip! , At that Young went In, swimming stanchly. , The dog circled and went under again, diving for the same spot. When he came up, his m aster was beside him. “Good dog!” he gasped and dived for the bottom. It was dark down there. He drove himself deep with mighty sweeps of his arnps, with powerful scissor-kicks of his long legs. He held his eyes wide open, and when he felt his abil­ ity to stay down longer slipping rap­ idly, he groped wildly. H is hand touched a slimy snag; and-then, lungs at the bursting-polnt, he was forced to shoot upward. , H e broke the surface, shaking w ater from his eyes and gasping air. A ba­ bel of voices was in his ears. , H e went further up-stream this time, and faced about and dived with; the Current, utilizing its flow. Again he found the snag, but that was alL , Again he dived, and this time he thought he caught a vague flash of lighter color In the murky depths as he drifted past. He rose quickly and swam' his best to get back to a p’oint from where he could dive again. , As he turned, he saw another swim­ mer so close to him again that his freedom of action was restricted. Straight, black hair was plastered over a sw arthy brqw ; angular black eyes looked past him. Even In that mo-, ment of stress. Kerry had time to re­ m ark that this w as the face which had peered at him while he shaved this morning. . . . Common cause, sure­ ly, a child drowning! . He went down again, down and down, deep and deeper. The .depths hurt his eardrum s; his lungs cried out for relief from this repeated strain............... And then pressure w as on his back; bn the small of his back a hand was placed; angers were fastening in bis shirt. . . . * He kicked savagely, rolled over, eluded the clutch and shot upward. He dashed a hand across his eyes, gulped air through open mouth. A rod below him the swarthy man rose, spitting, and turned up-stream. He gave Young one glance, and the dark eyes shone with malice. Trying that! And now, of all times! The fellow was not even attem pting to find the child; he was intent on bringing harm upon one who was. A bitter loathing sang in K erry’s heart for a moment, but he drove it away. No time, this, for personal animosi­ ties. He took a deep breath and went down again, water hurting his ears, pressing against his throat. . . . And once more that vague Idotch of light­ er color. . . . Sand? A boulder? A clay ledge? He expelled the air from his lungs and put all his will, all his heart and consciousness into a final downward stroke. His reaching hand touched something soft; his fingers en­ twined there. It was cloth! The cur­ rent bore at him ; his grip on the fab­ ric held. He dragged himself against the cur­ rent, tugging at that garment, bat­ tling to dislodge it. . . . His head buzzed; a quick nausea spread through his vitals. He felt that this was his last Instant of consefdusbess. His tortured lungs expanded, and w ater gushed into his throat. He wrenched mightily with the one hand, as a new, an inner darkness, engulfed him, and then gave up . . . yielded, let his lungs have their way, and was shocked to find himself breathing sweet air. He was on the surface, barely able to float, but he was not alone. In the crook of his arm was a limp, light body! Up-Stream 7 he heard screams and shonts. None had noticed that he came up with a burden. He drew the child’s head to the surface, got a hand beneath her chin, and kicked feebly. He tried to shout for help, but his voice was only a gargle. He redoubled his efforts, but his strength was spent. And then a whine in his ear, and hot breath on his cheek, and Tip was there at his side. “Good—" he gasped. “H ie!” He fastened fingers in the m at of stiff curly hair; the dog angled across He Fastened Fingers in the Mat of Stiff Curly Hair. the current towing his m aster; Young’s floundering feet touched bot­ tom, and he reeled to the bank. He dropped to his knees beside a log. H e threw the little girl face down across i t He hooked a finger in the month, prying open the set jaws, flattening the tongue, and bore his weight down on her back. W ater gushed from the mouth. Agaia be drove w ater from the small lungs, and again, while strength poured back into his own body. , Others were coming now ; help was on the way. A man was almost to him ; more stream ed behind. But there was a job to do, and he knew how to do It, the task that would give strength to this last and perhaps wan­ ing hope. Roughly he lifted the small body, with arm s and legs so pitifully lifeless’ and stretched it on the log,'head lower than the feet. He jerked one of the child’s arm s beneath her face, rolled her head to. one side, and straddling the log placed his great palms across the lower ribs and pressed firmly. . . . He held the lungs compressed an Instant and let the ribs spring out­ ward. Down agan went his weight, and w ater trickled from the mouth. A distracted woman burst through the growing group. She tried to hurl herself , on Young, on the. child, and the men took her’ gently aivay “Keep ’em back.” he gasped. "SheiII w a n t. . . all the air . . .” Steadily he worked, watching that waxen profile for sign. Down Hold . . . Up . . . Down again The group was quiet now, watching with tensity stamped on faces. Women had the mother—because, surely,’ such dis­ tress could only have been a mother’s —on the high bank. H er sobs bad, taken on a high-pitched w alling-' Ten minutes passed. Men were look­ ing at one.another, shifting from foot to foot restlessly. “W hat do you think, Young?” some­ one asked. They knew his name! He tw isted his head doubtfully, and a sharp pang of dismay ran his heart. It was not nice doubting his own abil­ ity to restore life to a child, so slen­ der, so tender. A lump swelled in his throat, but he drove it down. The girl’s one arm, hanging inert over the log, swayed dismally as he worked. . . . Fifteen m inutes; the w atchers wgre moving and muttering. "The child’s eyes were half open. . ... Brown eyes, he saw. Twenty minutes. Figures were running along the high bank. The woman screamed again. A man hurtled down toward them, and the crowd parted to let him through. It was Jim Hinkle, panting, his face the color of suet. He stopped abrupt­ ly, lips parted, one hand swinging meaninglessly. His eyes, large and desperate with query, turned to Young. This must be his child! “Can’t tell, Jim,” K erry replied to the unspoken question. “We should have an outside chance. And we won’t quit!” His shoulders and back ached. The inside of one knee had rubbed raw on the log. It was nothing, though, compared to w hat Jim Hinkle was feeling. And then Nan Downer was there, standing just inside the circle of men. One hand was at her lips arid her eyes .were dark with suspense. He smiled assurance at her as he worked. . . . The little girl’s hair was drying In the breeze now. Golden, it was, and in disarray about the small, motion­ less head. A full hour had passed since he carried her from the water. Now and again Jim looked at Young, and his lips would twitch. Others were talk­ ing lowly, moving about, their tensity gone. K erry could see shrugs and heads shaken. They bad given up hope. “Don’t you think,” Mel Knight, the storekeeper at the Landing, asked as he came close, “that it’d be as well . . . You see, they got to realize it sometime.” “No, we won’t quit.” “But man, you can’t keep on hangin’ to hope—” “S h !” H e had just started the pressure, but relaxed it. He held his hand on the small back and turned his head, intently waiting for w hat he had thought he felt to come again. Then leaned low, held so in a strained si­ lence . . . Then it came again . . . just the whisper of a cough! - “Careful, .Jlm ! Steady, now !” He held the trem bling father , back with one arm, and began to chafe one of the little girl’s w rists rapidly. H e beckoned Nan to. him. “Get after the feet,” he said quietly. “She's on her way. “You, JIeh Rustle up hot blankets and things.” Ten minutes later K erry gave the moaning child into her father’s arms and stood beside Nan, watching her carried tenderly away. The look on the mother’s face, the vast relief and thanksgiving which showed in the very set of Jim ’s shoulders, touched things within Young. Nostrils sm arted; his throat constricted and a m ist came Into his eyes. A ’breed had turneS to join the ragged procession moving up the bank. “Who’s the Injun?” he asked the girl, eyes following the great fram e of the man, strength of which could not be concealed by the cotton shirt and faded overalls and moccasins. “His name Is Bluejay . . . Frank Bluejay,” 'sh e answ ered; and then, as if pointedly; “Why?” He shrugged. “He was spying on me from across the river this morn­ ing.” A slight gasp escaped her. '• “Bluejay too! He’s a bad citizen,” she whispered: “My father used to say he believed him the cruelest man he had ever known. Everyone dis­ trusts him except Tod W est He works for him, when he works.” A hard smile came into Young’s eyes and he nodded. “W hen.he works, eh?” he asked. They parted then, Nan going toward the mill. Young mounting the trestle abutment slowly. “Hi, B luejay!” he hailed. The ’breed turned, standing on the ties. "W hat you want?" he asked, with the accent of his race, And his look was clearly a belligerent one. Young did not answ er until he had. covered the distance between them. When, at arm’s-length, K erry stopped; he said quietly: “I want to know this: why were you watching me from cover this morning? And when I've .found that out. I’m going to ask you why yon were fighting me under w ater'dow n there?” . A cigarette dangled loosely from the other’s lower Up, and now the upper one curled slightly. . . . “Who’s - askin' . that?” . be asked. “You? H uh! I tell you; I say to you, it’s none of your dam’ business what I do!” He nodded slowly, head' thrust forward. “I say somet’ing more to you, eh? I say these; vou get to hell- outta here before somet’ing very bad catch up with—” • • H e did not finish the threat Sure of himself as a bad man well and IongYeared will be, he was unprepared for -Kerry’s quick move He swung sharply and, stoutly, put- I m ? ™ Length ,nt0 the awingJ His palm caught Bluejay on the ear with a stinglhg sm ack; the force of the blow rocked the man, swayed him off balance. H e threw out his arms, teetering on one foot; he clawed the air twice, w rithed and strained an instant to get the other foot down in time, and, failing, flung himself sidewise for the river in a half fall, half dive. The im pact of his body , on the stream made a mighty splash. He came up immediately, shaking his eyes clear and treading w ater. “W h-what you t’ink you doin’, eh?” be gasped. “W hat you—” “I think I knocked you loose from yourself as a beginning!” K erry said hotly. "And I’m standing here to wait for you to come up again. I’ll knock you in as fast as you come up, Injun. . . . T hat is, if you come up .on this side. If you w ant to keep out of trouble with me, you swim yourself across yonder an d -stay there! Get tliat? Stay there!” “H o! So you t’ink—” W ith a defiant curse the man start­ ed swimming for the forbidden' shore, and Young, hitching at his belt,, fol­ lowed slowly along the trestle, ready for a second encounter. B ut Blue­ jay had not gone far. looking upward at that dark and infuriated face, when he hesitated, spat angrily and turned, striking out for W est’s Landing, swimming like an otter. CHAPTER VII A job and some enemies, and at least the beginnings of some friend­ ships. Young pondered those possessions as he spent a drizzly afternoon mak­ ing his camp perm anent. And after dark, as he sat In Nan Downer’s of­ fice and talked to her and Holt StnarL he wondered just where this quick- spoken. high-strung youth w as going to fit in with his scheme of things. H olt appeared- to him as one who will normally come to rapid decisions; form, perhaps, snap judgments. And yet K erry had the feeling that in his case the forester was holding back, reserving his estim ate and opinion. W hen H olt’s eyes rested on Nan. a hunger of long standing appeared in them. Not the lust that had been on Tod W est’s face yesterday afternoon up river, but a cleaD, upright respect . . . and something deeper than that. S tuart withdrew after A time, leav­ ing Nan and K erry alone. The door to the great lounging room of the headquarters was open. Logs smoul­ dered on the hearth there. “It’s damp,” the girl said; “let’s finish our talk near the fire.” So she curled in a massive arm chair on one side of the hearth w hile You'ng sat opposite her and continued the talk of the job. ' Tip, with a sigh of contentment, stretched on his side be fore the fire, and when a pause cam* In their discussion of tim ber estim ates and mapping the girl’s eyes'rested on him. “W hat a lovely creature!” she m ur­ mured and the retriever, opening one eye, rapped his tail as if understand­ ing and appreciating the compliment N an and K erry laughed and- Tip stretched and sighed luxuriously and flopped his tail again. It was late when he left Nan, an agreem ent reached and ready to re ­ port in the morning to work a t the big drafting board. A light rain was falling, and after N an had said her good-nights to Tiif K erry threw a balloon - silk ’ Slickeit about his shoulders and walked away in the darkness. H e had not gone far when he fleF Tip come a bit closer, and then J vague figure detached itself from the shadow of a pine tree. The hail, when it came, though cau­ tious and low, was not unfriendly. “Young? T hat you, Young?” “Yo! W hat’s up?” The other approached and then K erry halted. “It’s Jim Hinkle, Young.” “Oh, hullo, Jim ! How’s the girl?” “Fine! All right!” — looking about cautiously. “I . . . I wonder if I could git you to stop here a m inute? I got somethin’ I got to say to you, Young!” He was wholly sincere, and not at all a t ease. T hat belligerence which bad been on display early In the morn­ ing was wholly gone. “Well, when a man’s got to talk why, he’s just got to talk, hasn’t he? Won’t you walk on down to my camp? We’d be snug—” “Lord, no! You see, that wouldn’t do, Young. I . . . I don’t w ant certain parties ever to know I hunted you uo friendly-llke. ’ “I’d be a skunk If I didn’t say it, after w hat you done for us.

Artilleryman But % No Militarist. F : Soldiers, particularly In the heat of battle, develop a philosophy which Is peculiarly their own. To those who have never had their experience, the observations of these veterans some­ tim es soand cynical or fatalistic. As a m atter of fact, they are neither. There never w as a good soldier who has not adm itted that there w ere m any times when he was thoroughly scared. Con­ sequently, one of the conversational pastim es of the veterans of the W orld w ar has sometimes been to tell each Other "when they died,” meaning that they had been confronted some tim e 'o r other by situations from which 'there appeared to be no escape w hat­ ever. Captain “Eddie” Rickenbacber, pre­ m ier aviation ace of the American army, and Frank Knox, now QUnois' "favorite son” for the Bepubllcan nom­ ination for President, once swapped such yarns a t a m eeting of American Legionnaires, both being among the founders of that organization. Bick- enbacker’s story was that he thought his tim e w as up when, caught In a “dog-fight” between American and Ger­ man planes several thousands of feet In the air, the Germans nearly shot off one of the wings of his plane, which began to fall rapidly out of control. Bickenbacker quickly disengaged himself from the cockpit, crawled out on the sound wing and managed so to balance the plane th at it partially righted itself. A few hundred feet from the ground he grabbed the con­ trol “stick” and landed between the ’American and German lines In a com­ plete smashup, but w ithout injury to ftlmself. Knox served w ith the artillery brig­ ade of the 78th Division. B e enlisted as a private In the New H ampshire m ilitia, w as transferred to an officer’s !training camp, having seen service In Cuba, and finally became captain and then m ajor of artillery. W hen the w ar 'ended he w as promoted to Lieutenant- Colonel and is known to his old bud­ dies as “Col. Knox.” H is division 'served in the S t Mihlel sector early in (September, 1918. Two weeks later found it in the battle of the Meuse- I1Argonne w ith Sedan as the objective. ] W hen it cam e Knox’s turn to tell hia story, he recalled th a t any soldier quickly learns to know by the w hirr of a., shell or the sing of a bullet wheth­ er “It has his name on It,” as the soldiers say. In his tent a t Apremont late one night Knox heard a “big Bertha" w ith “his nam e on i t ” Almost instantly his little tent w as deluged With rocks, dirt and debris which nearly tore It from its fastenings—but nothing else happened. The next morn­ ing M ajor Knox w as invited by his orderly to look outside his- te n t A few feet in front of the entrance was the big shell nearly burled In the ground. I t had failed to explode. Knox’s narrow est escape, however, w as In the Spanish-Amerlcan war.. Vol­ unteering in M ichigan a t the age of 24, he reached Tam pa w ithout being sworn in or assigned to duty w ith any organization. A t Tam pa he w as intro­ duced to Theodore Boosevelt who promptly swore him In personally as a member of the Bough Biders. Knox participated In all the engagements of th a t fam ous regim ent up to and In- Cluding the battle of San Juan hill. In th at engagement, the Bough Biders Were bombarded out of their first posi­ tion by the Spanish artillery, waded in­ to the San Juan river and took refuge In w ater up to their w aists beneath a protecting bank, and later storm ed and took several hills, Including San Juan hill itself, where the Spanish finally ran up the w hite flag. In this battle the Bough Biders would charge and He down and then charge again. The intervals between two of these charges w as a little too long for the impetuous Knox, who w as tired 'of lying out In the hot sun. H e raised up to sight the enemy and promptly got a bullet through his campaign hat Which took a lock of his Scotch gold- red h air along w ith i t A t the end of the battle Knox w as detailed to carry dispatches of the victory to the rear. Enroute he w as overcome by the h e a t developed some tropical ailm ents and w as Invalided home just before the final surrender of all Cuba. Mrs. Knox retains the cam paign h a t among her prized possessions. In the last w ar Col. Knox had an­ other surprise which nearly cost him his hearing. Leading up an ammunition train to the support of the guns, he emerged into a field of barbed wire. Ju st as he rose In his stirrups to lo­ cate the guns, a camouflaged and well- concealed battery gave the Germans a blast from a brush-heap only a few yards away. B jio x w as partially stunned, his horse made frantic and for several m inutes he had his hands full keeping the horse and him self out of the barbed wire. W hen he did dis­ mount, he w as stone deaf and re­ m ained so for several weeks. In time, however, he regained his hearing al­ m ost entirely. A fter the armistice Knox came-?home and w as chairm an of the Committee on resolutions a t the meet- jlng at S t Louis which resulted in the organization of the American Legion. I Knox is neither a jingo nor a mili­ ta ris t He believes his country should be In shape to defend itself against all comers a t anytime. H e has volun­ teered In every w ar of his country In 'his lifetime, but he rarely evet talks about them. Political Life" i of Frank Knox Active Party Worker Campaigner Since Spanish War. and In his busy and colorful career as a newspaper editor, soldier and party worker, Frank Knox, candidate of the Illinois Bepubllcans for the nomina­ tion for president, has been one of the m ost w lddy traveled public m en In the country. N ot only has be been Id every state In the Union, some of them many times, but his interviews with the heads of governments In Burope last year resulted In a series of edi­ torials in his newspapers on the trends of governments a t home and abroad which attracted both national and world-wide attention. H e has been a sectional or national figure In every national political cam­ paign for a quarter of a century and In the past tw o years, In an effort to rouse Americans generally to the dan­ gers he felt were fundam ental In the “new deal” policies, Knox has made speeches in more than half the states of the Union. As a result of this task undertaken, for the m ost part, In an­ sw er to specific invitations for his services, he finds him self today pro­ jected into the political limelight Io an honorable, although personally un­ sought, manner. Starting as a precinct party w orker in M ichigan in 1898, Frank Knox helped nom inate and elect Chase Os­ born as governor of th at state and w as state chairm an of the state com­ m ittee in 1910. T hat fight w as made by progressive and liberal Bepubli- cans, w ith Osborn and Knox in the lead, against monopolies th at were dominating the state. In 1912, feeling that President T aft had lost his popu­ larity In the state, Knox declined to become T aft’s state m anager and frankly told Mr. T aft he favored The­ odore Boosevelt H e directed the Roosevelt pre-convention headquarters a t Chicago and In th at capacity cam e Into intim ate contact w ith party lead­ ers from Ohio to the Pacific co ast W hen Theodore Boosevelt became the candidate of the Progressive Party for president Knox followed him, but a t the same tim e got from Mr. Roose­ velt a promise th at the Progressive Republican state officers of M ichigan should be renom inated and only a Progressive electoral ticket placed In the field by the new party In th at state. As chairm an of the state com­ m ittee Knox called the state conven­ tion to order and was elected its chair­ man. Thereupon Senator Joseph M. Qixon of M ontana, national chairm an of the Roosevelt campaign, to the utter astonishm ent of Knox, made a speech, demanding the nom ination of an en­ tire Progressive P arty ticket from Governor down to constable. This w as wholly contrary to Knox’s understand­ ing w ith Roosevelt, but In a hasty conversation, DIxon Insisted he w as carrying -out orders from Boosevelt given him In Oyster Bay only a few days before. W ith characteristic honesty, Knox prom ptly advanced to the rostrnm and resigned both as chairm an of the con­ vention and as chairm an of the state committee. H e w as followed to his room by party leaders who begged him to accept the nom ination for Gover­ nor, but he refused. A year and a half later, when Theodore Roosevelt heard th e facts he adm itted he gave IMxon the orders but added: “Frank, t forgot to except Michigan.” W hen Boosevelt died a letter w as en route to him from Knox in France thanking him for his generous praise of Knox's record in the W orld W ar. In 1916 Knox campaigned in New England for the election of Charles E. H ughes for ‘president. H e had, in the meantime, acquired a newspaper a t M anchester, N. H., which he still owns. H e did a like party service for H arding and for Coolidge, besides as­ sisting in the nomination and election of numerous governors, senators, mem­ bers of Congress, state and local of­ ficers. In 1912 President T aft made Knox a member of the B oard of In­ dian Commissioners. As general m anager of the H earst chain of papers In 1928, Knox did not participate In the party politics of that year but his business interests took him into every section of the country. It is noteworthy that Mr. H earst that year brought his newspapers to the support of the Republican ticket. In 1931 Frank Knox, In partnership with Theodore T. Ellis of W orcester, Mass., bought The Chicago Daily News. W hen the panic of 1932 began Knox was national chairm an of the drive against the hoarding of gold and, as such, visited many sections of the country. H e was strongly urged to accept the chairm anship of the Re­ publican N ational Committee and so peremptory was the demand that, when in Europe in 1934, he had to de­ cline the honor categorically. The same year he assisted both the Re­ publican Seuatorial and Congressional committees in. an advisory capacity and spoke for Republican candidates In Maine, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. In this way Frank Knox has nor only a wider personal acquaintance than most public men of the day but, through his wide travels and his news­ papers, he is also intim ately informed of public opinion In all sections of the country daily. This inform ation is re­ enforced by a monumental personal correspondence and numerous callers from all w alks of life.' -r- .... , I N o w w e u n d e rsta n d w h y th o se n a sa l rad io d ittie s a re c alled “ co w ­ b o y ” so n g s.
