Some folks go crazy and others join the New Deal party.; The strike that hos hurt this coun­ try worst is the brain strike. Rooseveit has severed diplomatic relations with tbe Constitution. Where some take the New Deal charity for gratitude, many take it fur granted. Keepit in mind that professed sincerity is no defense for making a mess of tnings. Rooseveltmay change the IT. ?. Supreme Court, but nothing this ■side of Sheol will ever change FDR. It may be true tSat one man can be the wnole New Deal party, but no one man can be the whole U. S. A. Now we are blithely informed that the Roosevelt administration is a 'socialized government.” Not - so­ cialized, just sterilized, paralyzed and cock-syes-ed. The man who voted for the New Deal last year thinking it would bring down taxes has a new think coming now. That bunch on the Potomac is spending $6,000 a minute and thi show has-just started. American jobs belong to Ameri­ can people, yet millions of foreign­ ers hold jobs in the United States, while over nine million people are unemployed. And you know who has been running this country for the past five years. "Hands off the U. S. Supreme Court,” and “Hands off the Ballot Box,” are two slogans that should be painted in letters of living fire a- cross the very heavens to warn tbe very people against two ot the most insidious national maladies that ever threatened this country. It is beginning to slowly percolate into the brains of a goodly number of Democrat* that if all the “white supremacy” “States’ Rights” Demo­ cratic blood that circulates in FDR’s veins were convertei into cayenne pepper you could shake it in the bill of a humming bird without making him sneeze. The New Deal administration now admits that it will, take nearly 9 BILLION dollars a year to finance FDR’s new ideas of national “re­ juvenation.”' Wejl. you know who always pays for Federal govern­ ment operations, and higher taxes will make us sicker than the origi­ nal disease FDR wishes to cure. Will It Happen Here? One of the most heartening events of the time is the manner in which “liberals” are rallying to the sup port of the United States Supreme Court. To say that no man past seventy is fit for high judicial office is to dispute tbe clear evidence of h'story Ifthattheoryisaccepted it should be applied as a matter of principle to senators, represents tives, governors and presidents. ' Liberals realize that such socall ed “ practical” argumeuts for Change in the court are: ,simply widow-dressing. Real liberals who wish oar in dividual rights; protected and our Iiberites maintained unabridged— arei opposing'the court proposal on questions of principle In the words of Walter Lippman,'himself a lib­ eral “This is so reactionary pio- ceediog that nothing like it has been attempted in tbe whole his tory of this nation. This is the sort of . thing that is done in back ward counties which have not yet learned the art of self-government That is where great issues are set­ tled oy outsting men from office, rather than by the .consent of the people after open." debate.

PIC K A R D . © Western Newspaper Union. s T HE east Texas oil field was the scene of the worst school dis- - astey in history. The London Con­ solidated rural school, a few miles north of Henderson, was demolished by a tremendous gas explosion and more than 600 children and their v teacjiers were killed. ' horror that followed wrought stichc on fusion that Gov. James V. < : ;*s*S0Ired rSeclared martial law in the ..!.-aiJBCU^Wn^wf-.the. school,, and ordered . „ JIatjongJ^Guard troops to the scene. “ „ He.previously had ordered all state : mpiway p?®olinen in the area to • ; ~pS;'jtfdi6«ted;TOere.Pxesideilt Roosevelt, hearing at WarmuSprings aBout the horrible disaster, was most distressed and urged the Red Cross “and all of the government agencies’’ to stand­ by and render every assistance pos­sible. Albert Evans, flood disaster head in Little Rock, Ark., and his staff rushed to the stridden Texas town, and all communities within reach gave aid to the extent of their capacity.The blast smashed to bits the main structure of the educational plant that was termed the largest rural school in America and the richest in the world. About 740 children and 38 teachers were in the building at the time and nearly all who were not killed out­ right were injured. Of the latter it was believed many would not re­ cover. Fifty or more mothers of the young victims were attending a par- ent-teacher association meeting in the school gymnasium, a separate building, when the explosion came, sending the mangled bodies of their sons and daughters flying through the air. The women raced to the ‘ wrecked structure with screams of agony and tore at the ruins with their bare hands.For a few minutes after the roof caved in, leaving jagged remnants of wall standing like the ruins of a medieval castle, flames shot out above the wreckage. But the build-, ing was of fireproof construction and the blaze, having almost nothing, to feed upon, soon died out.' ' ' W. C. Shaw, superintendent of the school, whose son was one. of those killed, had just left the building.“I was standing about fifty feet Jway from the building when the ex­plosion,; came,” he said. “There wasn’t much noise. The roof just lifted ui>, then the walls fell out and the roof fell in. It was all over in a minute, no, less than that, half _ a minute. It’s unbelievable.” . Highway police, National Guards- 'jfteiF'and workers from all the ..'Ajrijjneafrby^ oil wells managed to re- vj ,it sctore-ssome semblance of order at the^scene, roping off the campus ‘Systematically carrying on the Ks*tasK:of getting out the bodies of the :■? 075 dead:...

Unable, because of all the confusion, to ascertain the cause of the . explosion, it was theorized that someone attempted to light a heater-Which-accidentally had been leftiurnedon.' The Vwet gas” used, which comes from bil wells on the gchool campus, is odorless and so would have given no warning. ... FtyIDfiNCE bf good sportsman- ■*-' ship is to accept the outcome when cirie ihas. had,a chance to pre­ sent a fair case to a fair tribunal, said Associate-Jus­ tice James G. Mc- i Reynolds of the Su- preme court to an . . L extemporaneous talk * at a fraternity ban- ' quet in Washington. It was the first time a member of the ?|1| court had expressed ' “his views on rela­ tionship of the court to the government since the President made his proposal for packing the tribunal, and op­ ponents of that plan were encour­ aged to hope other of Uie justices might be induced to appear before the senate judiciary committee and tell what they think of it. Justice McReynolds, who is seventy-five years old, has voted against the New Deal fourteen times and for it twice. ' . / Near the end of his talk the jus­tice said: “I should like to be op­ timistic. I should like to tell you that the situation is rosy. I-can’t. But I like to believe in the courage of the American people, and I hope they may make a solution of which they may be proud.” Edward S. Corwin, professor of constitutional law at Princeton, was heard by the senate committee in support of the President's bill and he got along very nicely until Sen­ ator Burke, leader of the opposition, Justice McReynolds called his attention to a speech tlie professor made a year ago and a book he wrote 25 years ago, in both of which he expressed views quite different from those he seemingly now holds. Then Senator Tom Con- nally took a hand in the question­ ing; .“Now you say the court is biased. You want to add six new justices who will be biased in the other di­ rection, don’t you?” Professor Corwin evaded a direct answer for some time, but Senator Connally demanded to know whether he did not support the President’s plan for this purpose.“Well, that is one of the reasons,” the witness said.The American Federation of La­ bor, like its opponent, the C. I. O., has favored the President’s court plan, though rather mildly, but President William Green, when he appeared before the senate commit­ tee, was even less emphatic in his approval of it. He denied that the court as now constituted “has as­ sumed dictatorial power or that its members have not the mental ca­ pacity or the necessary learning.” •Senator Wheeler said he was un­ der pressure from organized labor' because of his position against the Roosevelt program, but he declared he would not change. He said Maj. George L. Berry, the President’s co-ordinator for industrial co-opera­tion and also'head of labor’s . Non­ partisan League, “has had a man traveling through Montana at gov­ ernment expense stirring up activity against me.” C iSnATORS indulged in an indig* nant debate concerning the sit- down strike and there were, de­ mands for a congressional investi­ gation of this new weapon of labor. Majority Leader Joe Robinson said: “Manifestly the sit- down strike is un­ lawful. It is not within the rights . Ofc any . individual or group of individuals to seize or retain possession of prop­ erty to the exclusion San Rftl>in.n„ of the employer for the purpose of enforcing demands against the employer.” However, he added, it was diffi­ cult for the federal government to do anything in the matter until the Supreme, court has passed on the validity Jot the Wagner-Connery labor relations act. Senator Johnson of California gave a “general, warning” that the sit-down strike is the most ominous thing in our national life today, bad. for the government and in the long run worse for labor.: ' The Democratic, senate whip, Sen­ ator James Hamilton Lewis of HLi- uois, vehemently criticized sit-down Victics of labor aiid demanded u*> vestigation by congress. “Is the United States a government?” Lew­ is asked. “Every form of: com­ merce is being torn apart, under the rname of controversy between employer, and employee, leading to the danger of national riots.” ; CIT-DOWN strikers, ordered, by P Circuit Judge Allen Campbell of Detroit to evacuate the Chrysler plants, defied the court when the writ of injunction was served on them and declared, they would re­ main ,“to.the. death.” The sheriff said he had.done. his full duty until he received further instructions from the court and .the judge was await­ ing application from the Chrysler lawyers, .for writs of contempt.; Meanwhile. Gov. Frank Murphy, who had hurried home from Flori­ da, set up "a committee to con­ ciliate the many strikes in that area and to devise a legislative program to dispose of future labor disputes.. Rev. Frederic Siedenburg, S. J., executive dean of the University of Detroit, was named chairman of the ‘ committee. It has twenty-three members drawn from representa­tives of civic, industrial, religious and labor institutions. Since the committee was limited to four , members for labor, Homer Martin, international president of the United Automobile Workm .of America, the union waging the city’s outstanding strikes against Chrysler Corporation and Hudson Motors, , rejected the governor’s in­ vitation to U. A. W. A. member*' ship on the committee. A MELIA EARHART left Oak­ land, Calif., in her “flying; lab­ oratory” for . what promises to be the greatest adventure of her ad­ venturous life—a 27,000 mile flight around the world, following gen­ erally the equator. Herflrsthopof 2,400 miles took her to Honolulu. With her in the Lockheed Electra twin motored plane were Capt.

Cobb Hc Windsor's Finances. S ANTA MONICA, CALIF. — By latest reports, the duke of Windsor m ust start life as a m arried m an reduced to a per­ sonal estate of only about $600,- 000, plus guaranteed annual re­ m ittances amounting to but a beggarly $100,000 more. To be sure, as the old saying is,, two' can live as cheaply as one—if one of the two hap­ pens to be a gold­ fish or even a ca­nary—but otherwise the notion hasn’t worked out under modern conditions, wives these days being what wives are these days. Still, they do say Mrs. Simpson is prfetty handy with a skillet, which, on the cook’s Thurs­days off, ought to save getting in sxtra kitchen help; and what with there being no crown jewels to keep polished and installment houses just crying to help all young honeymoon- ers out—you furnish the bird, we furnish the nest!—Well, by scrimp­ing, the couple, should get by, don’t you think?.* • * Washington Rumors.OW rumors, do float about—es­ pecially in the neighborhood of Washington. Well, Washington al­ ways has been kind of a windy place. First we hear a boom is to be started for Mrs. Roosevelt to suc­ ceed the President at the conclu­ sion of his term. This is promptly denied and the question arises—how is that loyal soul, Uncle Jim Farley, going to stand the strain of waiting until Sistie Dahl gets old enough to run?Uncontradictedasyetis the other report that the White House craves to revive the NRA, under another set of initials and—let us hope—with a better-looking Blue Eagle than that first one was.« * * “Sweeping” Inquiries. A FTER every major disaster which conceivably was pre­ ventable, we have a “sweeping in­ quiry” or a “searching probe”—it depends on which , phrase the re­ porters like best—to fix the blame. Rarely does anything come of this, but it must indeed be a great con­ solation to the widows and the or­ phans of the victims. Seemingly, it never occurs to any­ one to make the said investigation before the tragedy occurs, with a yiew of searching out defective mechanism or imperfect construc­ tion ,then. We are a greet people for shut­ ting the stable door after the horse is gone—shutting.it good and tight so the probers may have leisure for their probing.* * • Defying a Glacier.

AT A recent trial in New York for a hideous' murder, the law­ yer for the killer—who, incidentally, had confessed—wound up his plea with this old and reliable and beau­ tifully logical standby: “Putting this man in the electric chair will never bring back the woman he slew—remember that.

While there were hereditary chieftaincies among certain other groups, as a matter of practice such offices were usually elective. It is possible that the political system of the Iroqiiois influenced the democratic style of government of the United States.'

J I b I I I i B y W IL L I A M B R U C K A R T NATIONAL PRESS BLDG W A 5 H ■ N G T O N C C Washington.—Developments that have taken place and are taking place 'in the fight Sees N ew .precipitated by Alignm ent President Roose­velt’s plan to re­ form the Supreme court of the United States show some phases not hitherto evident in political fights. One of these, I believe, portends important changes in the' political alignment in this country. I have reported to you in these columns many times evidences of a growing trend toward a new political align­ ment and I caii say now that noth­ ing which has taken place. since Mr. Roosevelt took Iiis New Deal into the White House has given such impetus to this coming realignment as his proposal that congress pass a law giving him authority to name six more justices for the high­ est court.The information coming into Washington these days shows very plainly that the Roosevelt court packing proposal is calling forth op­ position from both of the major po­ litical parties.' In other words, the opposition to the President’s move is probably nonpartisan to a greater extent than any issue before the American people in the last ,50 years. It will be remembered that the late President Wilson’s proposal that the United States enter the League of Nations falls within that period of time and while there was both Democratic and Republican opposition to Mr. Wilson’s program, it can not be said to have extended among the rank and file of the Dem­ ocratic party, then in power, to the extent that Mr. Roosevelt’s court packing project has permeated the lists of Democratic voters. I have endeavored to gain the views of many individuals respect­ ing the prospects of a new political alignment but few of the men whose judgment is best politically are will­ing to make a guess. A consider­ able number of them say frankly that they are unable to guess. On the other hand, however, there was general agreement that Mr. Roose­ velt, by suddenly tossing his court program into the lap of congress, has given momentum to a move­ ment that for some months appears to have been simply marking time. There are ’certain facts on this phase of the court battle that appear obvious. They are influential and important as well. Take for example the fact that Mr. Roosevelt does not have the backing of the so-called solid South for his proposition.. Now, the Demo­ cratic party for three-quarters of a century, has maintained the South as a stronghold of its party. In­ deed, in every presidential and congressional election, Republican politicians began calculating what the Democratic strength could be at the maximum by conceding 13 states to the Democrats. How dif­ ferent is the situation, now. ' * • *- One can go through the lists of representatives in congress from m a a t^e South and find . Different them rather even- Story Iy divided. One :. ; will find among. Mr.- Roosevelt’s opponents in this battle numerous senators and rep­ resentatives who have supported him on every other item of legisla­ tion that he has recommended to congress. Now, however, the story is different. . . .Another interesting phase of the legislative situation is that the bulk of the true and.,.constant liberals in the senate and the house have taken a stand against the (>rbpbsi- tion of increasing the Supreme court from nine to fifteen members. These two points do not repre­ sent all of the factors opposing the President’s plan by any means, but I think it can be definitely said that if Mr. Roosevelt is defeated in his demand at this time, the two fac­ tors that I have named will have been the deciding influences. Having influences-like those just mentioned expanding' in their scope, portends, as I suggested above, a considerable shake-up in party af- filation of a lasting kind. 'I do not mean to say that all of‘the liberals who are opposing .the plan and all of the Democrats who aire opposing the court-packing will refrain from supporting Mr. Roosevelt on other issues in the future. I do mean to .emphasize, however, that some of them will not return to the ranks of-Roosevelt stalwarts. Thus it becomes rather obvious, I thinik, that the conservative ranks in congress, will be increased to the extent' thitrSome of the defections, caused' by- Mr. Roosevelt’s court proposal,, result in 'permanent ad­ herence to other philosophies.' So it seems to me that the future holds the probability of a sharp Ime of demarcation between radicals: and.conservatives. How they will be identified and what labels they may-wear is immaterial. We are due to have a conservative party and a radical party in this couniry and its shape and character is be-' ing molded under the driving fire of the controversy precipitated by Mr. Roosevelt’s demands for six more Supreme court-justices. i•' * • • In a previous article I discussed the bitterness that has permeated _ the Supreme courtGrowing controversy. This Bitterness bitterness is grow- ing and no one can tell how terrific it is-going to be. Yet, while the political leaders make charges and countercharges, it seems to me to be almost pa­ thetic that the nine judges of the Supreme court must sit quietly by and say nothing. They can not de­ fend themselves against the criti­ cisms leveled at them by President Roosevelt and his associates. I have searched the’ records as far as I have been able and I have yet to find where any justice of the Supreme court of the United States ever has expressed himself publicly on any occasion when the court was assailed. It is a rule that is strictly adhered to by the nine, justices whom Mr. Roosevelt has described as “th% nine old men.” Therefore, we see them as the . center of one of the greatest political battles in history, wholly unwilling-to be-, smirch their dignity or their rec­ ords by answering back. The recent “fireside chat” by Mr. Roosevelt was replete with innuen-' does and inferences that the mem­ bers of the coiut are quite incapa­ble of-doing their job; that they are living in an age that is dead and, consequently, unable to see things as the rest of the country sees them today. Mr. Roosevelt’s speech at the victory dinner of the Demo­crats was purely politics and his fireside chat in explanation of his court program was 90 per cent poli­ tics. But the Supreme court is not in politics. It strikes me as being .: almost a tragedy that these “nine. old men” can notdefend their honor and their record after a lifetime of service to the American people. I do not take much stock in the. many tirades that have filled the ’ air and columns upon columns of ■ newspaper space -that the present justices are incapable of doing their, job. There is so much' untruth,' s'o; many unwarranted conclusions in those tirades that it.,ajnqwjts.to a gi-. gantic campaign that' will' mislead the people: of-tHe'jfation. -Agswmfoji' that some of the justices, are too-old to do their job and assuming fur­ ther that some of therri may. be too conservative to deal with pres­ ent day problems, it yet seems to me to be an indisputable fact that there is nothing in life that can take the place of experience and the lessons thus learned.* • * While Mr.' Roosevelt was taking a vacation in the warm sunshine of Georgia, the case A ble in behalf of the Spokesmen court packing proposition was:: ably presented to the senate ,com* ■; mittee on the judiciary; His spokes- men were Attorney .Generalr Cum- mings and Assistant: Attorney Gen­ eral Robert Jdfiksori. They did their job. well. They met some of the most. vicious questions -from ’ com­ mittee members r.that I have ever heard and they met them with a smile.' True, opponents of1 the pro­gram among those senators were not satisfied at all- with the explana­ tions advance'd by the President’s spokesmen. That ■ fact, however, does,,sot take away from ,the two witnesses the credit that is due them; .. And thus for the :first.;tirne we'- have what must be .regarded. as of­ ficial arguments. I me^ri'tHese ar­ guments are to be distinguished from fireside ,chats' and !.political- speeches concerning the merits of the President’s plan. Likewise, for the first time we have a frank ad­ mission that Mr. Roosevelt’s pur­ pose in asking congress to give. him . authority for appointing six addi­ tional judges, is to give him men on that court who will see present day problems r.s the President sees them. In- view of Mr. Jackson’s state­ ments to the committee, we. can look back upon some of the speeches made by New Deal spokes-, men some months ago , and can’ ..realize from them. and. present de-,; velbpments that Mr. Rdosevelt TOd ' the general purpose of ..packing, the court in mind for some months;= This circumstance seems to .explain, also why the President and his ad­ visors refused to accept the recom­ mendation of Prof. Raymond Moley ■ in ' 1934.

So m any requests for tickets cam e in, and from very im portant people too, that the largest studio a t Radio City wasn’t anywhere near big enough to hold them. So, National Broadcasting com­ pany had to rent the biggest ball­ room of the Waldorf-Astoria and send the Benny broadcast out from there. Jack is one of those big, affable, patient fellows who can re­member practically everybody he ever met, and he has met thousands in his years of vaudeville, musi­ cal comedy, pictures, and radio. First results of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts awards are be­ ginning to be no- _________ ticed at the studios. Luise Rainer, whose performance in “The Great Zieg- feld” was voted best of the year, has been given a five- year contract by Metro - GoIdwyn- Mayer. Paul Muni, •who got the year’s award for the best actor for his work in “The Story of Louis Pasteur,” evidently figures that he won’t be out of a job for a long time, so he is talking to contractors about building extensive dog ken­ nels at his house. Someone has given him a valuable schnauzer, and he is shopping around for some other dogs.

Edgar Bergen, the ventriloquist who has become such a favorite on the Rudy Vallee radio hour, has joined the wonderful array of com­ ics, opera singers, and dancers that Sam Goldwyn has lined up for his Goldwyn Follies.

We know of no more all- important, all-significant gesture that has to do with current costume design than this of timing lace to general daytime wear. The grand part of the existing en­ thusiasm for lace in the daytime is that it is revealing as it never revealed before the practical wear­ ability for all hours and the as­ sured adaptability of this feminine- beloved medium. Then, too, such wide use of lace as is now mani­ fest, brings much anew of romance and loveliness into the afternoon hours of fashion. Just recently a pageantry of lace was staged in the ballroom of one of the noted superb hotels in Miami which presented a most en­ trancing scene. At this gorgeous lace ball, which seemed almost as if it were a glimpse of fairyland, the program unfolded with breathtak­ing beauty with a promise of style futures that assured an unprec­ edented vogue for lace. Notwith­ standing the lure of ravishing eve­ning creations of shimmering filmy lace or of the very new printed laces or of crisp starched lace sil­ houettes, or of lace in the very new “pretty” colors (cyclamen pink, thistle, azure blue and such), not forgetting smart black or white, the big message comes to us of the importance of daytime lace fash­ ions, such as, for example, the suit of dark lace centered in the ac­ companying illustration. This model by Victor Stiebel (London designers are certainly coming to the front this season) is of navy , wool lace lined with tile red crepe. The shirt blouse is in the same tile red crepe with pleats at the front from yoke to waist. The hat is designed especially to com­plement the suit, being of the iden­ tical wool lace worked with felt in the same colors.Likewise, the daytime dress tai­ lored of lace declares its practi­ cality as well as its flattering, pre­ possessing looks. The two-piece model to the left in the picture, being smartly tailored, bespeaks all that one could wish for to wear to any afternoon occasion from spec­ tator sports to the cocktail hour. Just now it is proving highly ac­ ceptable for cruise or resort wear. It is wearable, also, under the fur coat or a new spring topcoat, if you are faring north. It has puff sleeves and high pockets on the blouse, both of which features are pet topics with young girls this season. The suit illustrated to the right speaksin dramatic terms of the use being made of val lace edgings this season. The shops are showing daintiest of blouses thusly fashioned of val and the neckwear depart­ ments are making a big showing of ravishing collar and cuff sets, bibs, vestees and the like of this type lace worked row-on-row on net foundations. In this model we see a winter resort fashion such as is to be taken seriously as a forerun­ ner of a style-to-be when summer comes north. This stunning suit of shirred val lace on a net back­ ground tells better than words of the whole-hearted way in’which de­ signers are emphasizing lace this And have you seen the new lace frocks with all-around pleated skirts! If not -you have a revela­ tion of super chic and charm await­ ing you. There is a fabric type of lace suggesting eyelet embroid­ ery that yields most graciously to this treatment. Printed laces are immensely important. . ® Western Newspaper Unloik ’TEEN AGE FROCK Br CHEBIE NICHOLAS Special emphasis is being put on dresses for the ’teen-age girl. Tail­ ored girl fashions such as this are designed to avoid the “awkward age.” They are youthful but not childish, simple but not plain. Here is a charming tailored girl dress. It is made of gaily patterned crin­ kled cloquassay cotton and is one of the many cunning models of this material that is being shown in the shops and ’teen-age dress sections this spring. HAT CROWNS LOWER AS SKIRTS SHORTEN Skirts are -climbing higher and higher and now rest between 14 and 16 inches from the ground. In or­ der noit to present an awkward sil­ houette, the big couturiers are ele­ vating waistlines and thus preserve symmetry. Daytime dresses.have high1 waistlines and evening gowns go even .higher with Empire or 1910 waistlines. Hat crowns are tumbling as skirt lengths climb. The flowerpot crowns of last season have come back to normal in order not to look ridicu­ lous with the 'shorter shirts. Many crowns are noriiially rounded while some are squared and others irreg­ ular in shape. It is difficult to say what width and proportions spring skirts will take. Some houses show tight; nar­ row and short skirts, similar to that which was so popular earlier in the season. Still other houses show skirts that are slim and straight in front but leave much back fullness, inspired by the Directoire silhou­ ette. Hand-Knit Goods Suited for Day or Night Wear Expert workmanship has now made it possible for women to wear hand-knit clothes for every hour of the day or night. Knitted clothes being shown in Paris come in a va­ riety: of weaves and threads. Hand- knitted coats made, of warm, heavy woolen threads are used for winter sports while lacy weaves of silk threads make cobwebby evening gowns. Some of the cloth js are b it­ ted'directly on the needles to fol­low a certain pattern, but the greater part of the materials are knitted in great lengths so that the material can be cut, tailored and fitted more exactly to the styles of the day. Black Still Leads Black remains the popular choice for street wear, although colors are shown for sports or afternoon wear. UNCOMMON AMERICANS By Elmo O Western Scott Watson weB^p" Schoolmaster of a Nation U E WAS “the most popular 1 1 American of the Nineteenth century, the man who had the larg­ est influence in determining the thoughts and ideals of the American people during that period and the man to whose work many great Americans of the present day pay tribute as being the fountain of their inspiration to aspire and to achieve.” He was William Holmes McGuffey, the “Schoolmaster of a Nation.” Born in Pennsylvania in 1800, Mc- Guffey became a pioneer teacher in Kentucky after his graduation from a little college in his native state and later was offered a position on the faculty of Miami university in Ohio. Recognizing the lack of good reading material in the common schools of those days, McGuffey re­ solved to do something about it. The result was the publication in 1836 of the first and in 1837 the second of a graded set of readers. The next year he published a third and a fourth reader. Then, with the help of his brother, Alexander McGuffey, who aided in the revision of the earlier works and collected much of the material foi the next two, he issued his fifth and sixth Ec­ lectic Readers. McGuffey not only had a keen lit­ erary sense but he was also able to select from the world’s best lit­ erature selections that appealed to children. That fact, combined with the high moral tone of the selections, which recommended them to parents trying to bring their children up in the way they should go, gave his readers great popularity. They sold by the mil­ lions in this country and were trans­ lated into many foreign languages so that the McGuJffey influence was ex­ tended into other lands. How great that influence was— especially in this country—it is im­ possible to estimate. But there is no doubt that the serious purpose of the McGuffey Eclectic Readers, their kindly spirit and their teach­ ings of the essential virtues made ct^ldren of an earlier generation better men and women today. At least, that is the unanimous testi­ mony of many American notables— authors, educators, industrialists, statesmen — not to meution thou­ sands of “just plain folks” who be­ long to the numerous “McGuffey So­ cieties” scattered all over the United States. At regular intervals they gather together to read again their favorite selections from the Eclectic Readers and to the end of their days they cherish in their hearts the lessons they once learned from this “Schoolmaster of a Na­ tion.” He Saved an Empress P ' IT had not been for the re­ sourcefulness and courage of an American dentist, the last empress of the French might have met death at the hands of an infuriated mob of revolutionists and another tragic chapter might have been written in the history of deposed royalty in that country. The empress was Eu­ genie, wife of Napoleon III, aind the man who saved her was a Dr. Thomas W. Evans. Not long after Louis Napoleon be­ came emperor. Dr. Evans was made court dentist of the second empire. At that time dentistry was not the respected profession that it is today. But such was the genius of this former Philadelphian that he was held in equal esteem with all of Napoleon’s ministers. So on September 2, 1870, when news' of the disaster at Sedan reached Paris and a bloodthirsty populace began clamoring at the gates of the Tuilleries and threat­ ening the life of the empress, she said to the officers of the palace guard “I will go to Dr. Evans. He is an American. I am sure he will render us every assistance we require.” With only a veil as a dis­ guise and accompanied by one of her servants, the empress fled by a secret passage to where a carriage was waiting for her. Then she was driven in safety to Dr. Evans’ home, only to find him absent. When he returned, he realized that it would be dangerous for the' empress to try to escape then, so she and her servant spent the night there. Meanwhfle Dr. Evans had engaged a private carriage and. the next morning he started out with the royal fugitive on a peril­ ous journey Everywhere soldiers were on the look-out for the empress but the quick-witted action and ingenious ruses of the American, more than once prevented their capture. By spending his own money frnely he brought Eugenie in safety to the coast and there he persuaded the owner of an English yacht to take her to England. Dr. Evans Continued his practice in both France and America, and his inventions in his profession made him world famous. He later became one of the founders of the Red Cross society, and upon his death in 1896 he bequeathed his en­ tire fortune of some twelve millions to American institutions.

' Last Sunday we saw the heavens and earth, the animals, yes, the en­ tire creation crowned by man him­ self, as it had come from the hand of God— “and behold it was very good” (1:31). But, sadly enough, it did not long remain so, for sin which had already entered the uni­ verse sbon found its way into the world. God created Adam in his own likeness and image, gave him “a helpmeet unto him,” and placed him in perfect surroundings. He gave him congenial employment, and above all the inestimable privi­ lege of fellowship with Him. But because man was not a mere automaton—a toy in the hands of a superior being—God gave him the power of moral choice, the oppor­ tunity to exercise his God-given per­ sonality in making that choice. Obe­ dience is the underlying moral prin­ ciple of the universe. Today we go with Eve and Adam into that cataclysmic experience which we call “the Fall of Man,” for as we read in Romans 5:12, “by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; so death passed upon all men, for that.all have sinned.” I. TeuptaUon (w . 1-5). Satan is not a cloven-hoofed mon­ strosity with a forked tail and a trident in his hand. No, indeed, he is more subtle than anything in creation. We read that he is “trans­ formed into an angel of light” (II Cor. 11:14). His approach in our day is as smooth, and cultured as it was in the garden of Eden. An example is the insidious liquor ad­ vertising of our day. Another is his use of the man who stands be­hind the pulpit or sits in the profes­ sor’s chair and destroys the Chris­ tian faith, of young men and women. Note the five steps in the fall of man: 1. Listening to a slander against God (Satan lied about God). 2. Doubting God’s Word and love (If we trust God we will obey him). 3. Looking at that which God has forbidden (The eye will betray us unless we guard it). 4. Lusting after what God had prohibited (Compare Genesis 3:6 with I John 2:6). 5. Disobedience to God’s com­ mand. II. Sin (v. 6). Sin is deliberate transgression, not a natural weakness, nor a ne­ cessity. It showed itself in its true light when it at once reached out and dragged down another. We do not sin alone for very long.in. Consequences (w. 7-15, also 16-19). 1. The serpent is cursed. 2. Sin, death and condemnation enter the world. 3. Sorrow is linked with mother­ hood. 4. Responsibility and headship is given to man. 5. The ground is cursed and the Durden of labor introduced. ’ IV. Redemption (v. 15). Here we have the first promise of redemption, and the scarlet thread of redemptive truth thus runs from this point at the Bible’s beginning to its very last chapter. Even in judging the first Adam for his sin God promises the coming of the second Adam who is to redeem the race. You are in the family of the first Adam by natural birth; have you entered the family of the second Adam by supernatural re­ birth? (I Cor. 15:21, 22, 45.)

BRIGHT STAR By M a ry S c h u m a n n Copyright by Macra* Smith Ob WNU Servica SYNOPSIS Kezia Marsh, pretty* selfish and twenty* ar­rives home in Corinth from school and is met by her older brother, Hugh. He drives her to ihe Marsh home where her widowed mother* Fluvanna* a warm-hearted, eelf-sacrificing and JRderstandray soul, welcomes her. Keria*s ou­ter* Margery* plump and matronly with the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh’s wife, Dorrie* has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his Job at the steel plant founded by one of. his..fore­bear* Hngh passes Ifoe Hitter, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be- sause of Dome’s antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the neat morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char­acter she fears Kezia has inherited. CUen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of Flu­ vanna’s. She happily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. EUed fears that her tether and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not approve the match. Hugh and Dor­rie go out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who has been out of work, has a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance together and then disappear for a while. Dancing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her In tears. Apparently she has some secret worry oyer her husband, Cun. When Ellen and Jerry speak about their engagement to Ellen's par­ents, Lizzie is disagreeabte until Jerry sym­pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat­ter is left pending. Uneimectedly Hugh has to’ visit a neighboring city on business. Return­ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him he finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick­ly hangs up without saying good-by. She finally agrees to accompany him. They spend a delightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family party, Kezia encounters Jerry, EUen Ia disturbed when Jerry is absorbed by Kezia. Rezla goes out of her way to charm Jerry. Fluvanna is concerned about Kezia, who Is evasive about dates she has been having at night. She muses over the resemblance of Kezia to her late husband, recalling how tem­peramental, moody and improvident be had been. She recalls the tragic picture of his death—how after drinking and gambling to excess he is faced with financial qfrin, how he tries to force her to mortgage her resources to pay his debts and threatens her with a gun, how In a struggle for its possession he (a fatally wounded. CHAPTER VI—Continued —12— ‘Tve been counting the days and It seems as though I could scarcely wait. The cabin has a big fire­ place where we can bum legs on cool nights; it’s near enough to town — ten miles — so that our Friends can drive out to see us. We’ll have suppers for them—play cards—sing—dance to the radio." “Friends," mused Hugh. “Any special ones?” “Special?” The reticence of her English blood made her look sud­ denly shy. ‘‘You mean men? Well, there’s always someone who—takes an interest." "And he’ll come out?" "Yes.” “We can’t get along vary well unless someone takes an interest, can we? It it’s too special I’ll lose my very good stenographer, how­ ever. That would be a calamity— unless—it was essential to your happiness." "He hasn’t enough money,” said Miss Ruskin in a low tone! She moved her pad on her knee and lifted her pencil for his dictation. Hugh turned in his swivel chair, and picked up a sheaf of letters.' “Just one or two of these should go out today. The others can wait. I know you want to get away early.” “Mr. Marsh,” said Miss Ruskin speaking with an effort, “you say we can’t get along without some­ one who takes an interest. I say we can’t get along without a vaca­tion. It helps us to look at things differently; we are stronger to take care of our troubles when we come back. You haven’t had a vacation. You—you look as if you needed one.” Hugh shook his head. “Just lack if exercise. I’m all right. Too many problems this summer to get away. Starting tonight, I’m walk­ ing home—two miles. I’m going to walk night and morning—exercise is all I need.” After she left the room, he re­ membered that Doc Hiller, whom he had run into at lunch had said the same thing. Doc had asked him what he was doing to himself— burning the candle at both ends? He had gazed at him critically. “You’d better drop in some noon, let me look you over. That did plant will be there after you’re dead and gone, my boy. You are killing yourself with overwork.” He took his hat to leave the of­fice. Five o’clock—Saturday after­ noon. He would walk home, al­ though he didn’t feel like it. It would be good to have a vaca­ tion, play and swim as Miss Ruskin intended doing, but that was out of the question. He had urged Dorrie tp go away, visit her sister Beryl, or her mother who had mar­ ried a dentist in Rochester, go to the seashore. But she had shaken her head. She was contented here. It was’ no fun at the seashore if he couldn’t go along. Late Saturday afternoon traffic tied up the crossings in a tangle of cars and hurrying pedestrians. The September heat was as oppresive as that of July, and it seemed a long way to Iris home. When he entered his front door he was grate­ ful for the coolness of the house. He whistled a signal and received an answer from upstairs. He looked at the paper for a few min­ utes before going up. Dorrie was dressing when he entered their room, was pinning the shoulder of her yellow dress. She pointed to her cheek and he kissed her there. “My make-up,” she said smiling. “Hasn’t it been ghastly hot? I envied you high up in your cool office.” “It was hot there, too. You’re looking unusually devastating. What’s the answer? Are we go­ ing out?” “We’re going over to Joan’s— have you forgotten?” She did not say it with a hint of impatience as she usually did when he for­ got; her tone was indulgent. “Had to work late again Saturday after­ noon, poor Hugh? Why don’t you lie down and nap for a half-hour before your bath? I’ll call you in time.” “Bridge?” . “Yes; but one of Joan’s good chicken and spaghetti dinners first. You’ll like that.” She folded the spread of one of the beds with meticulous care, pulled down the sheet invitingly. He could have slept for hours but he was awakened in a few min­ utes by Dorrie standing over him saying; “Time to dress, Hugh.” Drowsily he opened his eyes. The late sunlight was glimmering yel­ low on the ivy which arabesqued the screens. He had to dress and go out to that confounded dinner— play cards. / “Would you like me to lay out your shirt and tie? Put the but­ tons in your collar?” Dorrie spoke gently. As if she had been in error about something and was tacitly apologizing. He rose, rubbing his eyes. No apology was'needed of course. It was understood between them that Saturday night they should enter­ tain or go somewhere. Perhaps she felt the bridge game was an ordeal. “I’ll wear white flannels and a blue coat.” “Then you’ll want a white shirt and a blue tie.” Dorrie pulled open his drawer. He felt revived by her sympathy, in better spirits, more alert. Late­ ly she seemed to be thinking thoughts apart from him, listening to him and not hearing what he said. Sweet sometimes—sharply critical others. He took his shower and was dressing when Dorrie said: “Any­ thing happen today down town?”, “Not much. Just the usual." Then his face brightened. “Yes, it did. I had lunch with Doc Hiller, met him in the grill of the Renshaw House. It was great to see him. I hadn’t talked to him for a year. You know Doc and I were just like that,” he crossed his fingers, “when we were boys.” “Go on.” said Dorrie. “That’s not all.” “Not all? Just about. He had some foolishness that I’m not look­ ing well, and wants to see me Mon­ day at his office.” He looked at her from Qie tail of bis eye. Should he have said that? Would she be alarmed? But Dorrie was observing him with faint derision. “Go on with the rest of it.” “What do you mean?” Hugh, you have no finesse—ab­ solutely none! You were just about to say, “Let’s have the IBllers over some night soon. We’ve never re­ turned the dinner they gave for us,’—now weren’t you?” “I don’t think I was,” replied Hugh with irritation. “It wouldn’t have been any use . . . and they probably wouldn’t come if we did ask them. They’d tell us to *o hang —they have some pride.” “You’re mad,” teased Dorrie. “Do get mad often! I like you when you storm like that and get red in the face!” “Oh—rot!” He pulled his tie un­ done and retied.it, muttering, “We could have been courteous to them at least!” In silence he finished dressing and in silence they got into the car. Half-way to the Whitneys, she laid her hand on his knee. “Be nice,” she coaxed. His left brow went up whimsical­ ly. “You be nice.” “I will," she promised, end be­gan to chat gayly about the clever way an- agent for a coffee concern had wormed his way into the house that morning. “He was just like a phonograph!” “Treat them kindly, even if you don’t buy,” he advised Dorrie. “It’s the hardest kind of work, and they make scarcely anything.” “I ordered a couple of pounds of his coffee—sent him on his way re­ joicing." Cun greeted them at the. door, with a hearty welcome. “The ice is almost melted! I made the mis­ take of shaking them up too early! . . . Come on, Joan.” Joan came hurrying in from the kitchen; the open door wafted in an odor of appetizing food. “Are the Marshes dry—or wet?” “ ’Evening, Joan! Very dry with this blistering heat.” “Well, soak this up,” said Cun, refilling Hugh’s half-emptied glass. “Dorrie, say when.” Joan’s table, with its lace cloth, tall candles and centerpiece of red lavender wild asters, was attrac­ tive. She kept no maid, and served everything herself with the aid of a tea wagon. The spaghetti was cooked in Italian style with a high­ ly. seasoned pepper and tomato sauce; the spring chickens were browned. to a delicate crispness; the endive salad had a dress­ ing made of yolks of eggs and rose- petal, vinegar; the dessert was strawberry shortcake. (TO BK CORTiaVEDi W HO’S NEWS THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Parten Kashmir Poetess Recalls Glami Days of Nineties- N EW YORK.—In Wictorian England of the Nineties, A rthur Symonds wrote of the shy, young poetess, Sarojini Naidu, “her eyes are like pools and yon seem to fall through them to depths below depths.” H er exquisite K ashm ir beauty has faded now, but it is she and no other who starts cables and linotypes clattering all over the world with the news that Lind­ bergh blushed. It was her poetic laudation of the colonel at the meeting of the parlia­ ment of religions at Calcutta, in which he was compared to Buddha, which flushed the rose tint on the colonel’s cheek and made news that sidetracked all other events of the world parliament of religions. That was the headline and the story. It is an interesting citation of compar­ ative news values. In London of the eighties and nine­ ties, fame was bestowed when Aub­ rey Beardsley, Burne-Jones and Watts painted the portrait of any new entrant. Thus Lily Langtry was converted from a singularly in­ ept and fumble-footed actress to a great lady of the stage. Sarojini Naidu was both beautiful and intelli­ gent. Ignoring veil and caste, the first of her Brahmin line to do so, she entered Girton, at Cambridge. Sir Edmund Gosse discovered her poetry and gave it his august lit­ erary sanction. The above painter^' rushed in with their mahl sticks and brushes, and the poets with psaltery and harp—Ernest Dowson among them—Richard Le Gallienne and Max Beerbohm in their wake. Her poems were recited, sung, chanted at all great salons. Like Lindbergh, then in time’s suspense file, she climbed down from her Pegasus to a blare of fame and adulation. Her gorgeous native dress, her beauty, her silken “sari,” her exquisite voice, her en­ chanting verse were more familiar to the empire than the growing ten­ sion of' Johannesburg, Algeciras, and Agadir. She went back to India to war on the incoming machine age which was to make the later Lindbergh the Siegfried of its iron niebelung. She put aside her silken gown and wore the coarse “khaddar” of Gan­ dhi’s early civil disobedience move­ ment. She went to jail, two or three years altogether. She married out of her caste, as­ sailed the caste system, led crowds through the city streets, gave her property to the nationalist move­ ment. In 1925, she became presi­ dent of the Indian national congress. In England they still sing her po­ ems, set to music by Liza Lehman and Coleridge Taylor. • She is fifty-six years old, the mother of four children, with a slight figure and lined, gentle face, an ally of Annie Besant in the “swaraj” movement in the latter’s years. A strange transit of epochs and cultures, this, stirring an astro­ nomical blush over the seven seas. The Btwne-Jones salon was Saro- jini Naidu’s Le Bourget field. It would be interesting to eavesdrop at a heart-to-heart talk between the colonel and the poetess about con­ formity and dissent and whether it is better to go to glory or to jail, and whether she is sorry she ever put aside her silken gown. At ’any rate, in Lindbergh, she hymns chiv­ alry and courage, no matter what she thinks of his epoch. VVhcn “New Freedom” Was New. JOSEPH P. TUMULTY never •J quite caught step in the Roose­ velt parade, but there he was, after all these years, on the President’s left at the recent “victory dinner,” with less hair than he had in- the early days of the “new freedom,” but with Irish eloquence unim­ paired. He reports “Democratic fires burning in the hills and val­ leys of America.” Lagging far behind, Woodrow Wil­ son’s eight-year secretary never called “Wait for baby,” like the chap in “What Price Glory,” and fi­ nally came along in his usual digni­ fied way. So far as broad party strategies and policies of the last few years are concerned, Mr; Tumulty has been mainly concerned with our recreance; and indifference toward the League of Nations. There is no more loyal conservator of straight- line Wilsonian doctrine in America. Toward the end of Woodrow Wil­son’s second term, there was much talk of a cabinet post for Mr. Tum­ ulty, supposedly the labor post, but he became a Washington law­yer instead. In August, 1935, he told a senate committee that his two years’ fees of $109,700 were for advice and not for lobbying. ' His Jersey friends tell me that he has made his peace with Frank Hague, Jersey City political boss, that he is becoming mellow and philosophical and that he has no yen for any important place on the Democratic bandwagon. £ Consolidated News Feature*WNU Service. Harmonizing With Spring ii T H E FEA s~\ ' I w , T JBS week’s crop of fashions seem fully as sweet and gay and long-awaited as lovely Spring —with which they’re meant ; to harmonize. Mary, Sue and- Emily, three charming standees, know how to have day in day out chic without forfeiting that pretty silver lining in their new Spring purses Hints From Mary’s Boudoir. “I’m especially fussy about the slip I wear, perhaps that's why I always sew-my-own! I never miss the few homs it takes, and I can spend the difference for a finer, better-wearing fabric. A slip that’s well-behaved is a joy to yourself—others as well—and just as easy to have. So take a tip from one who knows: choose this model and a good fabric and you'll have no further slip troubles.” A Litt for M’Lady. “A new frock means more to me than a new fabric and a change of color—it means a lift, a new lease on life!” So says Miss. Sue, a snappy sophomore who sews. “I decided 1252 had the kbid of newness ! want: the clever cut of the waistcoat bodice first caught my fancy, and the saucy swing skirt made me sign on the dotted line. I go for simple neck­ lines, and I Uke lots of buttons too. You should see my version in royal blue silk .crepe—really, it's something to be proud of.” Designers Win Praise. “Smart Matron your granny,” retorts Emily to an intended bit of flattery regarding her new wel- come-to-spririg frock. “If I look as young as I'feel I’ll be mistaken for a Laf-a-Lot! But honestly, this new dress gives me a more dressed-up feeling than any I can remember in Springs gone by. I think Sew-Your-Own designers are smart to give us ‘40’s’ some of that swing the youngsters rave about Do you suppose they sym­ pathize with the poor young men who are urged nowadays to 'Swing, Swing dear Mother-in- law’?” The Patterns.

Xt is an old proverb, that was first expressed In those words by Algernon Sidneyan the Seventeenth century in “Discourses Concerning Gov­ernment.” It is' also found In Benja­ min Frnnhlin-S “Poor Bichard’s Al­ manack for 1733,” as “God helps him who" helps himself,” and is later found in tlie same aiinanac for 1757, as “God helps ilieai that help themselves.” In George Herbert's collection of proverbs entitled Jacula Prurentum, it Is found •is “lleiu thvself, and God will help thee ” A similar idea was .expressed by Cervantes in “Don Quixote,” and •by IatFoniaine In his fables. Even J01110 of the ancient Greek writers of the Fifth century before the Christian era, hinted at the proverb. In “Persae” Aescliylns wrote: “To the man who himself Strives earnestly, Uod also lends a helping hand.

I t t h in e r y N eed s / ‘ R ep airs, S to ra g e Convenient Bhop Is N eeded ' and Large Enough for - A nyE gnipm ent. By B. E. BesIey, Professor of Agriculture Engioeerin^Rutjers^ university. Many a piece of farm machinery has had an untimely trip to the junk pile because repairs were neglected until it became more practical to buy a new machine than to bother overhauling the old one. Such ex­ travagance can be averted by pro­ tecting machinery from the ele­ ments and checking every detail an­ nually. But first an implement stor­age is'needed, and'a shop provided with heat and large enough to ac­ commodate any- of the farm ma­chines is most convenient for this purpose,’ especially when connected with the storage shed. Repairs may then be , made in comfort during cold weather. County agricultural agents have plans for an implement storage shed and shop which are available.Before placing the machine in storage it should be thoroughly cleaned and any parts which might rust should be covered- with oil or grease. Crank case oil applied with a . paint brush is effective in pre­ venting rust. After cleaning, a thorough inspec­ tion should be made and all worn or "damaged parts listed. It is" best to order these parts. soon and to put .them on whenthe machine is repaired during the winter. In over­ hauling the machine, tighten all bolts, straighten bent parts, sharpen all cutting edges, apply a coat of paint, and replace worn and broken parts. Careless M anagem ent Is Costly to the A piarist . Careless management of bees in winter often costs apiarists half the honey producing value of their col­ onies. Colonies which barely manage to survive the winter are so weak they can produce only small quanti­ ties >of Koneycto the spring and summer. y/ ! Successful ..wintering depends largely on- the condition of the colonies as .they, enter the win­ter, says-CL L. Sams, North Carolina State ..college ^'extension apiarist. The colonies should have good queens, .a large number of bees, and abundant stores Of honey. If good queens had been intro­ duced to the colonies In time to start laying, and if the hives had plenty of honey, there will be a strong bee population at the start of the honey flow next spring. When the honey is taken from the hives for the last time, care shiuid be energised not to take too mueh. Single story colonies should have the cotnbs three-fourths full of hon­ey,'and two-story colonies should have fee food chambers filled com­ pletely,In case the bees run short of their natural food, feed them a syrup made up of two parts granulated sugar to one part of water. SSch colony should be fed enough to bring fee food stores up to 40 or SO pounds. F or F attening Steers Use about 80 lbs. of barley plus 20 lbs. of ground flax seed for fat- rffping steers, advises a writer In the'Mogtreal Herald. Be sure that there "are no green flax pods in the rifMt pieal. for they contain prussie acid, and.if fad in any amounts are toxic to stoek, For » daily allow­ ance, much depends on how fast it is desired to have steers gain, Full feed would be up to 19 pounds of grain mixture daily, together with tour or five pounds of hay ,A medium allowance would be some eight pounds per . day with eight to ten pounds of haft or other roughage. If linseed oilmen! is used to place of flax, the- proportion should be reduced by half, and correspond- Ingly more barley fed. - Or better. Use Tl lbs, barley,-15 lbs. bran, and M ftijp, Itoseed oilmeal for the grain Lum pF-Jaw Cattle M eat froth cattle affected With Inr may be used when the Sr part-affected is condemn­ed aad destroyed;’ This applies when Jumpy’ jaw is a localized disease, that:is.

The State Democratic Executive Committee, in session some few months ago, decided to advocate certain election reforms in North Carolina. A committe was’ appointed to draft some of those proposed re forms into bills and the bills were duly presented to the North Caro Iina General Assembly while it was in session here. The committee knew that there has beep plenty of fraud at ourpri maries and elections. They knew that persons were improperly coer­ cing voters at the polls and the wrongful use of absentee ballots was prevalent in many sections ot the State. So they sought to remedy condi­ tions.' All of the bills introduced in the legislature—with the' exception of one which regulated the hours for voting—were defeated by large margins. When a certain one of the mea­ sures cames. up foi discussion, a member of- the House of Repre sentatives, rose to bis feet and said: "If you pass this bill, it will mean that there will be seventeen less Democrats in the General As­ sembly two years from now." In other words, it .all amounts to this: In some counties of North Caro­ lina, it is necessary to engage in crooked politics in order to caryy those counties. If restrictions werc placed on markers, on absentee ballots and on other matters of that nature, the outcome of primaries and elections in . some instances might be.drastically altered. That's all there is to it, and that’s why election reforms are frowned upon by so many leading politicians of the State. Primaries and elec­ tions m ustL>e carried Carry them honestly, if possible, but if you can’t, then resort to underhanded methods rather than submit to de teat.—The State.

Toll of 6676 rural newspapers by the Publisher’s Auxiliary on the president’s plan to change the Su­ preme court, shows a majority of practically three to one againBt the proposition In Tennessee the; vote was dose, 30 favoring the proposal and 35 voting against it. In looking over the list of states it is found, that editors in only three states- fav­ ored the proposal. • Arkansas’ vote was 32 for and 31 against; in Loui siana the vote was25 for,and 19 a- gainst, and Deiaware voted 4 to 3 a- gainst. In Arizona the vote was a tie, 7 and 7. The poll was made to ascertain the opinions of publishers of small town papers throughout the nation. In the Midwest, while the propositon was voted down by a big majority, some of the states showed a closer marigin. Total cir­ culations of the papers polled was placed at 35,000.000. A breakdown of the results of the poll by states showed editors of 45 states opposed to the president’s pro­ posal and editors ot just three states for it. Editors of all states were opposed, in the majority, to amend­ ing the constitution. The total vote on each question falls a little short of the grand ,total of cards returned in the poll.. This is explained by the failure of some indicating a preference only with re­ gard the president’s pl.an; only with regard to any proposed amendment. The poll was conducted by The Publisher’s Auxiliary to create an interesting news feature for its own columns by revehling. to editors everywhere the attitude oftheir fellow editors O ir the president’s court plan and thejalternativeof an amedment to the,cohstitution. SeMeh Fought English The battle of Neville’s Cross was fought between the Scotch and Eng­ lish in 1346 during the Hundred Yearn’ war. G o v e rn in g F ro m R a le ig b The legislature for reasons that are-obvious, put the kids under every effort, that wou'd take from tbe law makers the privilege of governing their local^pmmunities from Raleigh through the passage of half baked and often unwanted local bills. When the pressure bore down upon them, 'however, they hid behind that old familiar program of authorizing a commis­ sion "to study tbe matter and re- 10« ” to the next General Assem­ bly. And there is the graveyard where it is expected to rest. But there is indication that North Carolina municipalities and county inits means to organize an inten­ sive campaign for ' borne rule” by putting pressure on the 1939 leg­ islature to take steps to do some­ thing about it. And well it-might. More than half the bills intro- Iuced and even higher percentage of measure enacted by the legisla­ ture just adjourned are local mea sures, practically all of which are more properly subjects for local ac­ tion than for Raleigh legislation. Of the 1,804 bills introduced, 1.059 were local, giving a composite per­ centage of 58.1 in all. On its face it would seem that the legislatute would welcome the opportunity to confine their efforts to State-wide legislation instead of piddling with local measures, but apparently they don’t. The trou Hle is that so many of them go to Raleigh more interested in putting something over on the folks back home, than in matters that pertaii to the welfare of tbe State as a whole. And a breakdown of those more than a thousand local bills probably would show a large per cent of them "sneak” measures that are in direct conflict with Io cal sentiment. It is just another manner of say ing "damn the people,’’ after the representative has been commis sioned to represent. ■ The municipalities are banding together in a plan ,that would pro­ vide an amendment to the consti tution prohibiting the legislature from legislating on purely local matters; But that will have a long and perilous journey, judging by the state ot mind of the present law making body.. — Statesville Daily. .

The object of an umbrella is to keep the rain off of the wearer’s bat and deposit it on bis shoulders. An umbrella’s’rib is its most vital point. A man may break a rib. or even have it shot In two by an an­ archist; and still live to be defeated for president But when an um brella breaks a rib; it is good only to lend to a personal friend When a wet umbrella is brought iato the house, it is usually closed up and set in a corner to drain. For the purpose of wetting the floor that is thought to be more artistic than cutting a hole in the roof. An infant umbrella is called a parasol, and it is used by fadies to keep their drug-store complexion from getting sun burnt. - The umbrella is the bashful lov­ er’s best'friend, as it gives him an excuse to approach his best girl and offer his services id carrying it It also furnishes useful employ­ ment for hishands, which would otherwise, be in the way.—Ex­ change. - > v ; - Cleopatra's Needle .

Charles 6 . Hamilton Human life is full of broken things, One of childhord’s first experience i- that of the first broken toy. Jamer IYhitcob Riley said all the traged; of human life is a little girl’s broker- doll. Remember the firs* toy you broke—and how it seemed nothin? could ever make up for it? Broker dishes and relics and heirloons -what a world of tragedy within trifles! Broken promises, which are relied on, broken engagements and visits—and the bitterness of disappointment. Broken hepes—and disillusionment. Broken health comes to many of us. Mere Marie de la Providence, during tbe siege of Paris, utterly absorbed in God and nursing the sick, remark­ ing: Let us feel that eternity is be­ gun; whatever pain we are going through—let us make joy of that thought—this is exceptional. How easily things are broken. How hard to mend. And even mended they never seem the same. Many of us have known a broken heart. And Co, medicine seems for the while to avail. God uses broken things. The broken bread was twice gathered after the feeding of the multitudes. Nothing is lost in the universe; everything may change its appear­ ance but science postulates a con­ tinual conservation of matter and energy. Somethings are never used until they are broken. An old pro­ verb says ’’Bread corn is bruised”— only the broken grain becomes food. The five loaves had to be broken to be of value to the hungry thousands. The sweetness of lives is only re­ vealed in their breaking. Bruised herbs are the sweetest. Like the al- ibaster box of Mary’s, the sweetness may be unpercieved till broken. The proud pastor of St. Andrews be­ came the calm saint of Ru herford’s Letters whose life having been brok­ en, could write “AU our suffering is not worth the first night welcome home to heaven.” Broken things serve to express devotion. As the alabaster box. As the Scottish lassie, whose arm was broken barring the door that the Prince iright escape. As "This is my body, which is brok­ en for you” As the broken heart up on the cross of Calvary. Christianityis thereligion of tbe broken heart. Until your heart is smitten and broken and shattered, you will not understand very deeply tbe heart of the eternal. Until grief and sorrow invade your paths, until love and death meet and break your soul and bow your spirit, and will not penetrate the meaning of tbe cross or the life eternal. Until your will is broken in submission to the Ecernal. your life will never bloom into fullness of joy. Abraham breaks his will in regard to Ishmsel and is the father of the faithful.

Some time ago this item appear­ 'd in the Congressional’ Record: “According to the 1930 census here are 14204,149 foreign-born m the United States of whom 6 ,- 284,613 were aliens who had failed to make the slightest gesture to yard becoming citizens. During he past ten years of quota law re friction, during which the world ias undergone tbe most serious economic depression in its history, 3 687 547 aliens Jiave entered the United States—at least one out of every eight persons on relief in this country is an alien.” The figures quoted are sufficient­ ly startling to cause serious food thought on the part of every Amer­ ican. Fortunately the relief figures have been revised downward dur­ ing the past year. Yet the relief proDlem is still one of the more se­ rious in toe nation and the aliens on relief continue to form a big portion of the total. It- is even in tiaiated in some quarters that na­ tional relief promises to become a permanent thing in America. This brings tbe natural ques­ tion: "Why are these aliens who are in the country unlawfully permit­ ted to remain here, especially when they are on relief-and unable to find a job? They violated the law in coming here in the first place and there is of course little chance that they will ever become American citi­ zens. Some have been apprehend­ ed in illegal acts and have been de ported but the greater part of them are in the United States. Worst of ail, there seem to be important in­ terests here who are seeking to delay their deportation to the lands whence they came illegally. Per­ haps it might be just as well to in­ vestigate why there seems tb be this disposition to evade the law and to clear the relief rolls of many de­ pendants who ought not be there. European nations like EoglaLd and France do not permit any alien to remain within their borders so long as there are citizens unemploy­ ed. And an alien who bad entered the country unlawfully would, be shipped home as soon as be was ap­ prehended.

Kansas City - Ninety persons have Oeen indicted. and' 19 convicted on •harges of vote fraud’ in Kansas City >«d the Federal grand jury still is in session. Last December. Federal Judge Al* iert L.-Reeves called a jury and charged it with investigating alleged regularities in the last November general election He admonished: ’'Gentlemen, reach for all, even if 'ou find them in high places We ■an’tjsurrender the baliot boxes to hugs, gangsters, and plogulies.” :. Recently Judge Reeves .-looked down in six persons he had just sen­ tenced on the fourth of the conspir- icy trials and said: “ My, how rights were tossed about that day as if they were nothing.”. . ‘Votes dripping with corruption and fraud.” - He was referring to a precinct polling place. Amongjtbose indicted on charges if conspiring to disenfranchise,voters were precinct election officials', both RepubIicanJand Democrats, an d party workers. During the four trials government witnesses, including] seven of the eight women precinct officials who oleaded no defsnse, told of "ghost” voting, threats, the arbitrary fixing if tbe vote count; ballot box stuffing and the erasing of x marks on Repub* Iican ballots. Itwas the government’s conten­ tion that In the four -precincts, 385 voters had been disfranchised in voting for President and vice presi­ dent and that 380 bad been deprived of their rights in voting for congress- en. Against tbe government’s testi­ mony, presented by Maurice M. Mil­ ligan, United States district attorney md his staff, defense attorneys ad­ mitted that while there might have isen “ghost voting” and ballot box ituffing. these were violations of ltate laws.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD @ Weatera Newspaper Union. DIbo Grandl CHAIN'S civil war is becoming to V a great extent a war between Italy and France fought on Spanish soil, and both those nations are ex­ asperated and en­raged, while Great Britain anxiously .strives to avert an open breach. Italy, too, is noift furious against the British because English newspapers taunted her with the fact that Italian volun­ teers were defeated by French volun­ teers in recent vic­tories won by the loyalists northeast of Madrid. Count Dino Grandi1 Italian ambassador to London, told the subcommittee of the international committee on non­ intervention that he would not dis­ cuss the withdrawal of foreign vol­unteers from Spain and that not a single Italian fighting in the Spanish war would be ordered home until the Conflict elided. -' France’s response was quick and •startling; Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos proposed to British Ambas­ sador Sir George Clerk that France and Britain assume a naval block­ade of Spain to keep Italian troops from landing to join the fascists. The British and French govern­ ments thereupon agreed; with full knowledge of other European pow­ ers within the non-intervention com­ mittee, on “all points” of a program to make non-intervention complete­ ly effective and decided it was im­perative to prevent, even by force, any further Italian landings. No de­cision was reached to send ,war­ ships at once for this purpose. In Rome the belief was expressed that if France appealed to the League of Nations against alleged dispatch of Italian troops to Spain, Europe-would come near to war. A spokesman for the government an­grily repeated the official denial that Italy had sent any volunteers to Spain since February 20, when the international agreement for non-in­tervention was reached. The indignant outburst by Grandi followed closely on a speech which Premier Mussolini delivered in Rome. Alluding to the League of Nations’ sanctions against Italy dur­ing the Ethiopian war, of which England was the chief promotor, Il Duce shouted: “It has been said that the Italian people forget easily. Error! Error! On the contrary, the Italian people have a tenacious memory and know how to bide their time. ' We waited 40 years to avenge Adowa, but we succeeded.” ;-v Mussolini had just returned from l; j» visit to Libya, Italy’s North Afri-' Ca colony, and on that trip he made a patent bid for Italian leadership •' of the Moslem world. This, and his ■ intention to build a naval base on the Red sea which would challenge British control of the Indian ocean are irritating Great Britain, which is not yet ready to check Mussolini by a display of armed force. She will be ready, however, before very long, for she is expending vast sums on her fleets and naval establish­ ments. Germany is not taking active part in these international spats just how, but is awaiting developments. Hitler is absorbed in his domestic difficulties and the threatened-break- with the Vatican. F J R. HANS LUTHER is soon to be ' k J replaced as German ambassa­ dor to Washington by Dr. Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff, a veteran dip­ lomat who is now secretary of state for foreign affairs. He was counsel­ lor of the embassy in Washington from 1922 to 1926 and has been a staunch friend of Americans. Dieck­ hoff is described as belonging to the “Ribbentrop group” in German af­ fairs, and is a brotherrin-law of Joa­ chim von Ribbentrop,. German am­bassador to London. UNDER the persuasion of Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan, John L. Lewis, head of the C. I. O., and Walter, P. Chrysler, chairman of the Chrysler mo­tor corporation, were brought together in more or less peace­ ful conference at the state capito! in Lan­ sing; The immediate result was an agree­ ment that the sit- down strikers should evacuate the eight- Chrysler plants in Detroit, and that the corporation should not resume pro­duction during the period of ne­ gotiations. Six thousand strikers had held possession of the plants since March 8 in defiance of court orders and the governor, as in the case of the General Motors strike, had been-extremely reluctant to authorize forceful methods of en­ forcing the law. He had; however, insisted that the men must obey the law and court-orders, and the GovernorMurphy concession by Lewis was a victory for the governor, as well as for the corporation which had declared if would not negotiate while the men held its plants. Mr. Chrysler also - has asserted the company would not enter into any agreement recogniz­ ing any one group as sole bargain­ing agency for all employees. It seems likely that this Michigan case will put an end to the epidemic of sitdown strikes. Most of the ^mail­er strikes in the Detroit area have been settled, and in Chicago and elsewhere vigorous action by the authorities has brought sitdowners to their senses.President Roosevelt had steadily, refused to take a public stand con­cerning this new weapon adopted especially by the Lewis labor group, but finally yielded to the pleas of his lieutenants so far as to agree to hold a conference on the matter on his return to Washington from Warm Springs. Secretary of Labor Perkins has shown a partiality for the sitdown strike, and various New Dealers have defended it; but others in the administration, like Secretary of Commerce Roper, have con­ demned it. And in the senate and the house it has been attacked by Democrats and Republicans alike. TN THE big mass meeting of I workers held in Detroit, Homer Martin, president of the United Automobile Workers, addressed himself to Henry Ford, saying:“Henry, you can’t stop the labor movement. You can’t keep your workers from joining the labor movement even if you have a ‘fink’ (company sympathizer) at every other post In your factory. The best thing for you to-do, Henry, is to get ready to do business with your or­ganized workers.” Mr. Ford is on record as saying that his company will continue to make cars as long as a single man will continue to work for it; and in reply to Martin’s threat, Harry Bennett, Ford chief of personnel, says: “What Martin calls ‘organized la­ bor’ is not going to run the Ford Motor company. For every man in this (the Ford Rouge plant) that might decide he wants to follow Martin and take part in a sitdown strike there are at least five who want their job and don’t want a strike.” The Rouge plant employs 87,000 men. The minimum wage is $6 a day, or 75 cents an hour for the eight hour working day. The plant op­erates five days a week, with Uie exception of the blast furnaces which must be kept going seven days a week. A MELIA EARHARTS globe-en- circling flight ended, for the present, at Honolulu when she cracked up her $80,000 “laboratory plane” at the take­off for Howland is­ land. By quick thinking and action she saved her life and those of Capt Harry Manning and Fred J. Noonan, her navigators, but the plane was so badly damaged that .it had to be shipped back to the Los Angeles factory for repairs. The daring sviatrix sailed immediately for-San Francis­ co, asserting that she would resume the flight as soon as possible. As the big plane rushed down the runway for the take-off it swayed badly, the right tire burst and the ship went out of control. The left undercarriage buckled and the left wing slashed into the ground. The ship then spun to the right, crashed down on its right wing, and the right motor snapped off the right wheel. Miss Earhart quickly cut the igni­ tion switches, so there was no fire, and no one was injured. T nEN passengers, two pilots and a A stewardess were killed when a big Transcontinental and Western airliner crashed near Pittsburgh. No one survived the disaster. The plane, from New York for Chicago, had been awaiting a chance to land at the Pittsburgh airport, circling around,' and suddenly fell from a height of only about 203 feet. Pre­ sumably the motor failed. CONGRESSMAN RALPH E. CHURCH of Illinois raised a storm in the house by ; making a fierce attack on Adolph J. Sab- ath, also of Illinois and dean of the house. Sabath is chairman, of the' committee to investigate real estate bondholders’ reorganizations, and Church accused him of “question­able practices,” demanding in par­ticular an explanation concerning benefits reaped by. the Chicago law firm of Sabath, Perlman, Goodman & Rein as a result of Sabath’s ac­ tivities.” Democratic leaders-rushed to the defense of Sabath, and finally stopped -Church’s attack by forcing adjournment. Sabath was furiour and promised a reply at length. A m eliaEarhart UXftt Irvin S. Cobb 'J h l m k d oJboitt "Benefit” Prom ises.

C Washington.—Immediately after the armistice in 1918, the country was suddenly awakened to the fact that living costs were extraordinari- . . . .-. Iy-high. -It was aLtttrng condition that Costs struck dose hometo everyone. It was a condition that developed an un­ usual emotion. There followed, nat­ urally, a wave that engulfed hun­ dreds of thousands of people who felt that they were being subjected to high prices that were unjustified. Most people will remember how , “H. C. L.” became an expression as common and one that figured in as many puns and jokes and wise cracks as the alphabetical agencies common now to the New Deal. It was a type of propaganda that came along spontaneously because the condition affected so many people. The reason I have recalled that circumstance is because we are again headed straight into another era of “H. C. L.” We have not reached the top of living costs by any means.' It takes more than a fortune teller or crystal gazer to predict what is going to happen in the way. of increased commodity prices. Suffice it to say, howeVer, that a "vicious cycle” has started whirling and in the midst of the situ­ ation stands a very confused con­ sumer, representative of all . of the people in the United States. There undoubtedly will be an in­ crease in the propaganda concern­ ing living costs again. Indeed, there already is a rather far-flung propa­ ganda. which results from the in­creased cost of living but it is di­ rected rather on a slant and not pointed accurately into the heart of the condition now confronting us. Undoubtedly a great many people have not thought of the frequent and recurring attacks on business and business practices as having any­thing to do with the increased liv­ing costs. But the truth is that this type of propaganda springs directly from the sporadic cries that are coming from many localities about the higher prices—complaints that the dollar does not go very far in buying food across the grocery counter. It seems to me that it is time for some calm thinking about this situa­ tion. It seems to me further that public officials everywhere ought to be honest enough to analyze the situ­ ation and tell the public what the real causes are. If this is not done, there again will be undoubtedly a perfect deluge of propaganda in pro­ test against high Uving costs and the bulk of the people who-suffer from these increased costs will not know the reason any more than they ,un­derstood the reasons that brought about a counterpart of the present outlook back in 1918 and 1919. • • * In any examination of an eco­ nomic condition, one must dig con- „ siderably belowSeeking the surface to find th e Cause the factors that . have operated to bring about the results visible to the eye. Such is certainly the case in the present situation. . One can not fairly say that the present boom­ ing prices in food have just hap­ pened. In truth, things never hap­ pen; they are brought about. They have been brought about in the pres­ ent circumstance by factors that date back to 1933 and include nu­ merous governmental policies that have been initiated since that time. The trained economist will de­ scribe present conditions as due to. inflation—which indeed they are. But . inflation is such an all-inclusive term that the real story lies hidden. - In an effort to spur and encour­age production and aid recovery, President 'Roosevelt devalued Uie dollar. He reduced its gold value. During 1933 and 1934 there came numerous pieces of legislation in­cluding the NRA and the AAA, each designed to foster increased prices and to build up the level of wages for industrial workers. Subsequently, President Roosevelt sponsored legislation which had as its end and aim federal control of1 wages for workers. This legislation sought to give the federal govern: ment power to force business in­ terests to recognize ' labor unions and to accept labor union scales of pay—all. to the'end that labor should be paid a greater percentage of the returns received by business. There came also legislation de­ signed to increase the price of sil- . ver and the UnitedT nsn Ccuns States Treasury - Strikes was directed bythis law to buy millions of ounces, of silver and to use that silver in our currency. In the meantime and recurring almost' constantly the New Deal adminis­ tration, from President Roosevelt on down, maintained a barrage of at­ tacks on business interests seek­ ing wider employment of labor at increased wages. Coupled with these attacks was violent criticism of banks and bankers. .They were charged ,with being an obstacle to recovery because they were not lending money. -Itdid not matter to the critics that no one wanted to borrow money; the criticisms wety continued because loans simply were not being made and no exami­nation of the reason why loans were hot being made ever was under­ taken. .Next in the chain of events and still continuing came labor troubles. Wie New Deal avowedly was on the side of labor and against employers. Strikes followed in increasing num­ bers. . . .The results of this, combination of factors and circumstances now are showing. Considered from any angle, one can not fail to see why they constitute a cycle of events that lead to higher prices.When the dollar was cheaper by devaluation, more dollars were re­ quired to feed a family than had been required before. Workers felt this sting, i. They demanded, more dollars in pay for their work. Pres­sure from the New Deal administra­tion together with labor's use of the strike weapon forced business to pay higher wages. But, jusiness must live. It can not live unless it gets back its costs of production. Agriculture can not subsist unless it receives a reason­ able price for its production. Nei­ ther agriculture nor industry will go ahead unless there is a reward in the shape of a profit. Conse­quently, neither agriculture nor in­ dustry is going to absorb these in­creased costs alone. The natural and the only way it has to get back those expenditures is by charging higher, prices to the buyers of those products. Thus, we have the com­ plete cycle—and the consumer, as usual, is the goat. The consumer pays and if that consumer be not: in a position, to enforce a higher return for the services he renders, he is caught between the -upper and nether millstones. It appears that the consumer is fast getting himself into the grip of that vise.* * • Inconnectionwiththisincreasing price level, and the dangers inher- .. ent in the generalC redit situation, I think Ecclee credit ought to be given to President Eccles, of the Federal Reserve board of governors, for the bold statement he made a few days ago. Mr. Eccles warned the country very frankly what the dangers are in a situation where labor continues to clamor for a greater share of the profits of commerce and industry and where labor’s leadership seeks to take advantage of the inability of employers to protect themselves. The Eccles statement took occa­ sion to link labor’s position with the general money market and the ef­ fect labor’s position is having on the country as a whole. He re­ferred to the demands of some la­ bor leaders for a working week of 30 hours and while not completely discarding that theory, he gave the very definite impression that shorter hours do not. constitute a solution for our present problem. “Increased wages and shorter hours,” said Mr. Eccles, “when they limit or actually reduce production are not at this time in the interest of the public in'general or in the real interest of the workers them­ selves. When wage increases are passed along to the piiblie, and par­ticularly when industries take ad­ vantage of any existing situation to increase prices . far ; beyond in­creased labor costs, such action is shortsighted and an indefensible policy from every standpoint. “Wage increases and shorter hours-are justified-'and wholly de­ sirable when they result from in­ creasing production per capita and represent a better distribution of the profits of industry. When they retard and restrict production and cause price inflation, they result in throwing the;buying power of the various groups in the entire econ­omy'out of balance, working a par­ ticular hardship 'upon agriculture, the unorganized workers, the recipi­ents of fixed incomes and all con­ sumers. “The upward spiral of wages, and prices-into inflationary price levels can be as disastrous as -the down­ ward ' spiral of deflation. If such conditions develop, the government should, intervene in the. piiblic.inter-’ est by taking such action as is nec­ essary to corect the. abuses. ’ “The remedy for .a price inflation when the country has unused man power, natural resources and Capi­ tal, is through more, not- less pro­ duction, through an orderly, bal-. anced use of , these three funda­mental factors and not by creating a needless, artificial shortage of any one of them.” Thus we have brought, into bold relief a criticism .of the final factor entering into the present increasing price level. I refer to the artificial shortage in food products that re­sulted from the ridiculous crop con­ trol program that was accomplished through AAA. We are now paying the price for the destruction of 6,000,000 Uttle pigs. I said at the - beginning of this discussion that a calm, examination of the factors involved was neces­ sary now if it ever were.necessary in history. O Western Kewipaper Union.

Cer­ tain legal, or rather illegal, as­ pects of the case have to be ironed out before it can be defi­ nitely announced, but present plans call for the weekly award of one thousand dollars to some listener holding the lucky num­ ber. Numbers will be printed on the package containing the sponsor’s product, purchasers' will mail them to the broadcast studio, and there the drawing will be held which selects the Hollywood studios have ' always flattered themselves that they paid their performers the ™ highest salaries in the world, but now it appears that Mae West, Marlene Diet- rich, and Greta Garbo are just poor working girls in comparison to Grade Fields, who is England’s favor­ ite star. Twentieth Century-Fox could not let the British studios get > away with a monopoly on the best of any­thing, so they have put Miss Fields under-' contract to make four pic­tures in Hollywood. None of the p'ictures she has made in England have been shown here, because in them Miss Fields spoke the Lanca­shire dialect which might as well be Czecho-Slovakian for all Americans can make of it. Over here she will deliver her lines and songs in plain English. From New Tork to Hollywood Gloria Swanson’s loyal friends gave parties ce’ebrating the end of her too-long retirement from the screen, when Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer an­ nounced recently that she was to star in “Maisie Kenyon.” Now it appears that the celebrating was a little premature, because neither Gloria nor the studio is satisfied with the story, and her plans are all up in the air again. The most exciting and beautiful picture ever made in Technicolor comes from England and will soon be seen in theaters throughout the country. It is “Wings of the Morn­ ing” a United Artists picture. Har­old Shuster went over from Holly­ wood to direct it, our own Henry Fonda plays the lead, and John Mc­ Cormack, the Irish tenor who is adored wherever there is a phono­ graph, radio, or concert hall sings in it. As if that weren’t enough, they have tossed in for good'meas­ ure authentic views of the running of the English Derby. Sylvia Sidney gets the week’s award for’ being the best talent scout. Some time ago Marc Con- nelley told her about a play be was going to produce in New Xork and she said that she knew just the girl to play the lead in it. She had seen a girl named Katherine Locke in a very small part in a play and she was sure Miss Locke would be won­ derful if given a real chance. Sylvia didn’t wait for Mr. Connelley to send (or Miss Locke. She located her and she got the part. Eleanor Powell would like to form an alumni association of her old dancing school, but all the people who are eligible for membeiship in Hol­ lywood are much too.busy making pictures to be both­ered with attending meetings. There is Ginger Rogers, Bud­ dy Ebsen, Ruby Keeler, and Miriam Hopkins — and they are among the bus­ iest people out here.

The great va­ riety of wooi fabric has been an in­ spiration to the designers, who have outdone themselves in creating ir­ resistible suits ranging in type from the most casual sports mod­ el to the most formal dressmaker suits.The outstanding appeal of suits this Spr1Jg is their ingenious play of contrast—the most fascinating contrasts in weaves and in pattern- ings, some plaided, some striped, others such as bright tweeds with multi-colored nubbings and other amazing novelty woolens, these contrasted with plain most fetch- ingly. The old story of mannish tailored guits is given several brand new twists this season, greatly due to revived fashion interest in fabrics that were your grandmother’s fav­ orites when she was a girl. The old-fashioned, now new-fash- ioned twills which are showing such strong revival are as adaptable to dressmaker suits, which are fem­ ininity itself, with their quaint peplums and soft stitched lapels as they are to strictly classic tailleurs. Gray, beige, postman blue and navy are favorites in twills. Sheer wools and wool crepes in solid or novelty patterned fabrics answer to the call for bolero and eton jacket suits. Often the bolero, or some such jacket type, is of the novelty wool topping a suit or tai­ lored dress of monotone weave. These feminine devices in refresh­ ingly versatile moods will be flour­ ishing the entire season through and we’ve seen them with linings and blouses in bright or pastel taffeta with either swing or full-pleated skirts. For planning a spring wardrobe, the three-piece suit is a logical be­ ginning. By three-piece we mean any type suit or tailored wool dress you may choose plus a weather- resisting topcoat or a debonair cape (capes are so very smart) in a gor­ geous woolen that accents color glory and weave to an exciting de­ gree.Your suit choice may be delight- somely frivolous and youthful, stressing a perk jigger coat, (the young set adores this new type) es­ pecially if it is of gay tapestry plaid woolen in colors of saddle-tan and brown as centered in the group pictured. Note the small pointed collar and diagonal slash pockets. The skirt in saddle-tan shetland- type tweed has three stitched gores in front, and the matching border- stitched tuxedo of the coat buttons down on either side of the collar. Perhaps you prefer to top a lus­ trous fleece wool in saddle-tan with a finger-tip swagger coat that fas­tens high at the neck wih an un­ usual leather clasp, as illustrated to the left. The suit itself has five leather buttons down the front of its jacket, because leather trimmings are quite the rage this season. In the model to the right the color contrast theory is worked out stun­ ningly in that the collarless cutaway jacket worn with this smart finger­ tip jacket-suit of men’s wear flan­ nel, is of gray and red check woolen with a red belt and ascot for.ac­ cents. Topped with its jaunty swag­ ger coat in a gray, herringbone wool the idea of using three contrasting wool weaves is demonstrated to a nicety. And so in conclusion, what­ ever system you use, in a swank suit, you’ll lead in fashion-rightness —and with finesse. © Western Newspaper Union. TAFFETA WITH NET B r CHKKIB NICHOLAS Net enters into many phases of the mode this season, not the least impor'ant of which is its use for daytime dresses and for tailored themes, in contrast to its sprightly bouffancy for full-skirted party frocks. The very goodlooking tail­ored afternnon dress here shown is of black net of bemberg yarn band­ ed with black taffeta. You’ll find this gown, a friend indeed all spring and all summer. Just now it is ideal to wear under your coat. Top with a gay little chapeau and you will be ready to. go anywhere social ap­pointments may. call. ACCESSORY NOTES ON SPRING STYLES Some of the trimmed sports frocks this spring are made of men’s shirting. Chambrays in* dusty roses, blues and olive greens, brown cottons splashed with small white figures and gray and white striped silks make both dresses and play suits combining skirt, blouse and shorts (longer than iast year). Tucked bosoms and vests and pock­ et' accents whose stripes run con­ trary to those in the blouse are among the mannish accents which have been borrowed for these fem­ inine frocks. Accessories hold a bright spot in the spring style spotlight. Several Fifth avenue shops display entire accessory ensembles in patent leath­ er.' Big patent leather bags, patent leather daisy boutonnieres and black suede shoes tipped with the same shining leather are designed to wear with suits. Other accessory notes are twin boutonnieres to be worn on each lapel of a suit jacket. Sometimes they are rich carnations of the same color, again feather butter­flies with bright spots on their wings and again gay feather fancies like those worn in Tyrolean hats. Romantic Mcitif Marks New Govns for Evening Wear Embodying the glamour ’ of the era when Vienna danced to .the rhythms of Johann' Strauss’ immor­ tal melodies, the new evening gowns recapture the flowerlike grace of a romantic century. Starched nets and chiffons, white and pastel colored organzas and stiffened laces are the most impor­tant fabrics and ,pastel colorings are stressed. ” ' Bodices for the most part are simple, many being adorned with big clusters 'of chiffon .flowers in contrasting shades. Girdles are nar­ row and emphasize slender waist lines. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY IcHooL Lesson JBy REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQU1ST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.Q Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for April 18 THE EFFECTS OF ALOCHOLIC BEVERAGES LESSON TEXT-Genesis 13:13; 19:23 Deuteronomy 32:31-33; Proverbs 23:29*32. GOLDEN TE X T-A t the last it blteth like a .serpent, and' stingetti like an adder Proverbs 23:32. PRlMAItY TOPIC-A Man Wbo Had First Choice. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Way of Woe. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOFIC-> What Science Says About Alcohol. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Scientific Basis of Temperance. The American people are alert te the forces which threaten the bul­ warks of national life, and are ready to take intelligent and ef­ fective action against them when fully aroused to the danger. The powers of evil know this to be true and are careful to avoid any- thing that directs our attention tc what is constantly going on under cover. The liquor question is one of our nation’s most serious prob­ lems. The devastating results of the widespread sale and use of in- toxicants will only be known as Christian men and women unmask this wicked business which poses under the banner of congenial and pleasant living, and proudly points to its recognition by the govern­ment as a legal enterprise. The facts are available through various temperance organizations and in such books as “Alcohol and Man,” by Dr. Emerson of Colum­ bia university. The Sunday School lessons for 1937 present four oppor­ tunities to bring the matter square­ ly before the adults and children who are in our Bible Schools. We have already (Jan. 31) considered the economic problem, and will later deal with intemperance as a social and moral evil. The lesson for today affords a special oppor­ tunity to touch on the scientific side, presenting intoxicants in their true light as a poison. Look up the word “intoxicate” in a good dictionary and you at once have a picture of what beer, wine, and whiskey do to the human body.The Christian approach to any consideration of the matter Is by recognizing that man is a spiritual being, dwelling in a physical body. I. We live in a World of Moral BesponsibiIity (Gen. 13:13; 19:23-25). Life is not a careless . drifting from day to day, from pleasure to pleasure, into , sin or not as one may choose, with no responsibility for one’s actions. Man was created in the likeness and image of God. He possesses the power of choice. He knows right from wrong. If he chooses to do right he has all the resources of the omnipotent God to call upon as his strength and stay. But if he chooses to turn his back upon God and upon Christ; and to go into the ways of sin, let him be sure that there is' a day of judgment to come from which he shall in' no wise escape. The de­ struction of the wicked cities of the plain, terrible as it was in itself, is but a prophecy of judgment to come. See Luke 10:10-12. n. Men Go Two Different Ways (Deut. 32:31-33). ' Moses contrasts the Rock in which his people trusted, and the corrupt standards of their heathen neighbors by which they were tempted. One greater, than Moses spoke of the two ways (read Matt. 7:13, 14), and pointed out the sad fact that there are many that go down the broad way to destruction, and few who walk in the narrow way of life. Let us seek to win our young men and women away from the sinful ways of this world. III. The Liquor Way Is the Wrong Way (Prov. 23:29-32). Skillful indeed are the advertis­ ing devices-of the liquor interests! They associate their intoxicants (poisons) with holiday festivities, happy family gatherings, social preferment, and so on. They do not picture the bleary eye, the babbling tongue, the “wounds without cause.” They carefully overlook the broken-hearted mother, the rag­ged children, the empty cupboard, and the devastated home life. They say nothing of the men who have lost their characters and their jobs, and of the women who have lowered themselves beyond description be­ cause of their love for liquor. Let us in tenderness and heart-broken humility present to our Sunday School classes that picture, which is a disgrace to our nation. -The wine may look red, and it. may even go “smoothly down th.e throat” (a possible translation of the words “when it moveth aright,” v. 31), but it still has the bite of a serpent and the sting of an adder (v. 32). Aims and Duties .What are the aims which are at the same time duties?—they are the perfecting of ourselves, and the happiness of others. Injastice _ The injustice of men subserves the justice of God, and often His mercy.—Madame Swetchine. Doing Good “Doing good is the only certainty happy action of man’s life.”—Sir Philip Sidney. mm ta rd mW SSSam tt I ’M GLAD I’m hot on the serv- * ing committee this week,” muses Mrs. Smith of Walnut street, as she takes stock of her­ self in the mirror preparatory .to leaving for the church supper. “I look entirely too swell for me— why, I’m almost excited! I al­ways knew surplice waists were becoming, but how becoming I never knew till now. That little deceptiveness is just what I need, and these sleeves are the most comfortable things! If about half oui circle wore dresses like this it would be better for all con­ cerned; so many of us have out­ grown the tailored streamlined styles. Now, Mrs. White for in­ stance—” Enter an Admirer. “Why Mother, you look de-love­ ly in that shade of blue! And you look real stylish, too—you ought to be going to a Coronation.” “Oh, I’d much prefer the church supper, dear. I’ll be a somebody there in my new dress but at a Coronation I would be little po­ tatoes. By the way, what did they say about your new jumper at school?” “Mother, I meant to tell you. Mary. Jane and Betty are both go­ ing to coax their mothers to make one just like it. I said maybe you would loan them the pattern, would you?” “Why of course.' Did you tell them it took me only two after­noons to make yours including two blouses?” Emter nIhe Duchess.” “Sis, you’re pretty young to be talking about clothes so intelli­ gently. When you get a figure that clothes really count on— ahem, like Yours Truly’s for in­ stance; then it might be different —oh Mother, how nice! I’m crazy about it. Gee, such smart lines! Remember, you promised to help me with a new party frock next week if I did well with this shirt- waister. I wish all dresses were as easy to sew and as swell to wear as it is.”“Perfectly cut patterns spell success for any frock, Kay; your party dress is as good as made right now. But I must be on my way or I’ll be more than fashion­ ably late for the affair. Bye, bye —be good girls and see that Dad­ dy gets something to eat.”The Patterns. Pattern 1268 is for sizes 36 to 52.

The Winston Salem Journal and the Twin-City Sentinel, are to change bands the first of May, together with Radio Station WSJS. Gordon Gray and other Twin City capitalists have pucrbased this property from Owen Moon, 'who has been at the bead of these publications for the past 12 years. It is said that Santford Martin will continue as editor of The Journal. The Record- wishes 'the-new owners much success in the field of journalism. Up to" this good hour no society has been organized in North Caro Iina to make Franklin Roosevelt king as soon as his term as president expires. Such societies have been formed in at least two or three states. The American people have stood for many things since George Washing ton was inaugurated president, but there has been a few times wnen they have grabbed their guns and gone to war. We trust that the time will not soon come when they will have to again shoulder their guns. _________ The scarcity of cattle, hogs, wheat and coru has boosted the price of meats and grain until the poor families who are without work, or who are working at low wages, find it out of the question to eat meat, and if prices continue to soar it will not be long until they cannot buv bread. Gur secretary of agricul ture, Mr. Wallace, should take steps to speed up production of food crops. Instead of paying the farmers to sow grass or let their lands lay Idle, bet ter pay them to grow more cattle, bogs, .wheat, corn and potatoes. This country is importing too much meat, wheat and other products that our farmers should hg growing. WilfaI waste makes woeful want, and the wild folks who aTe running this councry are going to wake up some fine morning and repent in sackcloth and ashes. W on’t Recognize U nion Ways.

Ford said that any of his men who struck would be “led out of” the particular- piant with regrets ‘■because we know the men are simply being duped and coerced by the strike leaders ’’ He added: •*We won’t hold any grudge a- gainst them and will be willing to to hire them back.” He said public officials were charged with protecting citizens from such disorders as sit down strikes and continued: "Those who seize property not their own are in the same category as housebreakers.” He did not say what public of* ficials be was referring to, and made no mention of President Roosevelt, who has not been quot­ ed on the current wave of strikes The manufacturer said no con­ cessions were made in settling the Kansas City strike. He visited Dearborn last week while the strike was in progress to confer with com­ pany officials. - Referring to other current strik­ es, Ford said the participating workers “lost” because they are now "organized, regimented, and without individual freedom.” M eeting F o r H om e {Under New M anagem ent D em onstration G u b s To Be H eld in M ocksville.

WNU Service SYNOPSIS Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twenty, ar* rtves home in Corinth from school and is met by her older brother, Hush. He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezia*s sis­ ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care of three chi'dren, is at lunch with them. Hugh's wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way bach to his job at the steel plant founded by one.of his fore­ bears, Hugh passes Doc Hiller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be­cause of Dorrie’s antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char­acter she fears Kezia has inherited. Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of Flu­vanna’s. Slie happily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Kllen fears that her father and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not approve the match. Hugh and Dor­ rie go'out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who' has been out of work, has a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance together and then disappear for a while. Dancing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in tears. Apparently she has some secret worry over her husband. Cun. When Ellen' and Jerry apeak about their engagement to EUentS par­ ents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym­ pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat­ ter is left pending. Unexpectedly Hugh has to visit a neighboring city on business. Return­ ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him he finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick­ly hangs up without saying good-by. She finally agrees to accompany him. They spend s delightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family party, Kczia encounters Jerry. Ellen is disturbed when Jerry is absorbed by Kezia. Kezia goes out of her way to charm Jerry. Fluvanna is concerned about Kezia, who is evasive about dates she has been having at night. She muses over the resemblance of Kczia to her late husband, recalling how tem­ peramental, moody and improvident he had been. She recalls the tragic picture of his death—how after drinking and gambling to excess he is faced with financial ruin, how he tries to foice her to mortgage her resources CO pay his ceLts and threatens her with a gun, how in a struggle for its possession he is fatally wounded. Overworked and worried over business, Hugh stays at the office Sat­ urday afternoon. Doc Ililler advises a let-up. Btigh and Dorrie are dinner guests of the Whitneys. CHAPTER VI—Continued —13—“A perfect dinner,” commented Hugh. “Jonny, you make cooking an art!” “It should be.” she said blithely. “We practice it enough.” “Notice that vinegar for the sal­ad?” asked Cun. “She makes it in June from the rose petals—much milder than any other.” “And the strawberries?" Dorrie exclaimed. “Fall bearing ones."“I never see them. Where did you get them?” “From the Mennonite farmer who brings me eggs each Satur­ day. There’s a settlement cf them a few miles south. They’re very unworldly —. so carefully honest about every penny.”“Religion means everything to many people,” said Joan.Cun settled in his chair more comfortably. His eyes sparkled, his florid skin was pinker Uian usu­ al. “I grant you that, Jonny. But I can’t see it. Too many hymn- singing hypocrites in church when I was young . . . blasted my youth­ ful illusions!”Joan looked at him steadily. “You don’t Delieve in anything, do you?” “I’ve never felt the need of it. LHe has been pretty good to me arid when it’s over, I want it to be over!” Dorrie’s eyes were applauding.■ “My sentiments, Cun. Religion is the refuge of a defeated soul.” “Exactly,” nodded Cun.“A person has been overthrown by life, and prays for a heaven which will be a wish-fulfilment of the things missed on earth.” “Then there is no reality, in re­ ligion? Merely wish-fulfilment?” questioned Joan. “So glad to have it explained—I never understood.” Dorrie took no notice of her irony. She went on: “It’s good for some individuals. We have a case in our family—Hugh’s mother.'Oh, dbn’t look shocked! Your mother isn’t" sacrosanct, is she? I’m only saying it before Joan and Cur. ..N. . Hugh’s mother has had a tremen­ dous help from religion.” “Then I would say there is reali­ ty in it,” Hugh defended. “How can one tell there is not? It’s sup­ posed to be' experienced—a spiritu­ al adventure which convinces peo­ ple!” ,Joan jumped up from the table. •'Gracious! Weren’t we stupid to get in an argument over religion when it always ends in; a yammer?' Cun, tell Hugh about your new work while I clear -away.”“We went over that the last ' "time,” answered Cun. - “What do you say we do the dishes for Joan? Wash and dry ’em?”“That’s a valuable idea,” ap­ proved Hugh.“Dorrie, you’re, always getting out of work—oh, yes, you are!—you can begin washing the glasses. Jonniy will give you an apron to cover up that creation you’re wear­ing!” “Oh, Cun, Dorrie will spoil her manicure!" said Joan. But Dorrie entered into it gayly, took the dishpan, filled it with hot water, sprinkled some soap chips in it. “Bring on the glasses.” “Wash ’em dean, my girl, or you’ll get fired!”“ Wash them dean?” Dorrie laughed as she rinsed a goblet and handed it to him to dry. “Don’t you trust me, Cun?”“No, not now.”Joan and Hugh were clearing the table, going back and forth between the kitchen and the dining-room. When Hugh came through with some plates, Cun ar.d Dorrie were talking in low voices. Sie said at once in louder tones, “Get a dry towel, nitwit. That’s just sop­ ping”—the quick abandonment of a secret conversation for a casual one. But they were always chaffing one another, Hugh remembered.Dorrie emptied the dishpan, glanced at the dock. “Twenty min­utes—no more! Who said I didn’t know’how to work?”“Don’t misquote,” said Cun, his eyes merry. “ ‘Always getting out of it,’ I said.” “That for you!” She snapped her fingers at Cun. “Hugh will tell you I’m a thoroughly efficient person. Come on, Joan, let’s, go upstairs and repair the damage. Hurry, before I get any more mean cracks from this husband of yours! Does he bully you this way?” “Most of my waking hours, eh Joan?” said Cun. “She’s too loyal to give me away.”“Don’t count on me too much,” said Joan over her shoulder as she followed Dorrie qut of the room. , Hugh rather enjoyed the bridge game. He and Joan had unusual luck, won rubber after rubber. Dor­ rie seemed absent minded and sev­ eral times made rather obvious misplays. Late in the evening sh* “Jonny, You Slake Cooking an Art.” denied Cun’s heart bid with one Cl spades, went back to spades when Cun raised his heart bid, and was promptly doubled. The spades were bunched in Joan’s hand and with the double she drew, she went down disastrously.“If you’d led clubs last, you’d have saved two tricks,” said Cun “Forget they were high?”“So they were Sorry, Cun, I played it like a ”“Nitwit?” he suggested. “It’s all right. Your game is usually so cracking good you’re entitled to an occasional lapse.” Hugh looked at his watch. “Elev­ en-thirty,” he reininded them.“Come on, Hugh,” said Joan, “we’ll go out and fix up a nightcap, get some cheese and crackers^—the duty of the winners.” : Hugh followed her to the kitchen, lounged against the wall while Joan opened segments of cheese wrapped in silver paper. He ad­mired her deft movements as she went from cupboard to tabic, quick but not brisk, light but sure. He thought her eyes were like those wild asters on the dining table, smoky blue. And her lashes a thick fringe of black. Nice eyes, Joan had.He ventured a compliment. “You’re looking yourself tonight.” She paused, smiling. "Meaning i" “Yes—very,” he said emphatical­ly. “Thanks.” The kitchen was a shining place of cream-colored walls anu wood­work, red tile linoleum, and red voile curtains. He opened Uie door to the porch. “Do you eat out here often?” “Yes, all our breakfasts. If we pull down the shades on the left side we’re hidden from our neighbors. We can see our garden, watch the birds visit the cement pool.” “I wonder H I could build some­ thing like this on our place. Tve always wanted to eat outside.” “Come over and have breakfast with me some morning.” ,“I will some momirg when Dor rie isn’t up and the maid is having a vacation.” “Let it be soon then. Net many more weeks of summer.” Hei white teeth gleamed in her dark face as she smiled this challenge. Her eyes, so bumingly alive, lin­gered on him 'With something thoughtful and caressing, something, evocative in their depths. Sbt turned away. (TO BE CONTINUED} *************AAAiAAAAAAAAA WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Parton “Just a Poor Historian.” NEW YORK.—In 1933, Am­ bassador William E, Dodd protested to Chancellor Hitler against assaults on Americans who failed t<r give the Nazi sa­ lute. He made these represen­ tations quietly but emphatical­ ly. His protest was effective. Being naturally calm and tactful, it is quite certain that he will not aggravate the present difficulty as his government calls Germany to account for press attacks on Amer­ica. But he is not spineless and will not be merely a messenger boy. He has disproved the assumption that an ambassador to a major pow­ er must be rich./ “Just a poor, his­torian,” he lives simply and rides third class around Germany. He says this is a much better way of understanding Germany and know­ing tbe people than attending state banquets—which he abhors. The Germans like him and even forgive his belief in democracy, which he bluntly expresses when such expression seems pertinent. His doctor’s degree was obtained at the University of Leipzig, and one of his best books was a biog­ raphy of Thomas Jefferson, written in German. They have forgiven that, too. Most of his thirty years as a his­ torian was spent at the University of Chicago. When he was appointed ambassador in June, 1933, he smilingly expressed doubt about be­ ing a diplomat. “The trouble is that a historian has to tell the truth,” he said. Two former am­ bassadors to Germanyj Bancroft and White, were historians, but in less troubled times. He has spoken frankly, and has been only occa­sionally vilified, as when Julius Streicher, Germany’s notorious anti-Semite, slurred his family on August 16, 1935. A native of North Carolina, he keeps a little cottage down in the Blue Ridge mountains, and drives around in a worn little old car when he comes home. He likes out of doors and is usually sun-tanned. He is medium, somewhat athletic in stature, with a look of keen aware­ ness and competence, which softens as, he speaks—he is essentially a humanist. The failure of the League of Na­ tions he regards as one of the trag­edies of mankind. He has long been a torch bearer for the/ Wil­ sonian ideals, co-editor of “The Works of Woodrow Wilson,” with Ray Stannard Baker. He is a for­ mer president of the American His­ torical association, highly distin­ guished and authoritative in his pro­ fession. He is sixty-seven years old. • * • “Too Many Niee Boys.” V jR. TYLER DENNETT, presi- dent of Williams, says his col­ lege is getting too many “nice boys.” It was in 1929 that Profes­ sor Robert E. Rogers of M. I. T. told his class that the thing to do was to “be a snob and marry the boss’ daughter.” In '1934, he took it all back. A graduate might be a snob cum laude, but he was running an ele­ vator just the same. Out in Min­ nesota, a college dean recently urged, students to take postgraduate courses in refined speech, dress and decorum. It must be hard for the youngsters to decide what to be or do. Dr. Dennett evidently doesn’t sug­ gest “rowdy” as the alternative of “nice.” What he seems to have in mind is that Williams should draw more from the main democratic bloodstream, and not so much from the blue-blood arteries. He thinks the exclusive preparatory schools are tunneling too many students in­to Williams.* • • The Admiralty Sneaks. ClR SAMUEL HOARE, British *3 first lord of admiralty, defends Ris $500,000,000 naval plan and urges the United States to build right along with England—we are broth­ ers. Already there is a yell over here that England is, as usual, try­ ing to get us to pull her chestnuts out of the fire. But that’s some­ thing for the editorial page. Sir Samuel, with his high-pitched nasal voice, his long, sharp peda­gogue’s nose, his glassy eye, and his way of laying things on the line, is always good copy for the report ers. ' - - Simultaneously, he broke the il­lustrious and inquisitive nose, fig- ore-skating, and was eased out as foreign minister because he was too realistic about Ethiopia. His comeback was amazing in its swift­ ness. " In, a few months, he headed the admiralty, and articulate and dominant tory England had swung to bis view on Ethiopia. His goldsmith ancestors • founded Ye Olde Golden Bottel bank in the reign of Charles I. It is still owned by five Hoares, with one of them sleeping on the premises every night as their ancient charter re­ quires. Sir Samuel, it is believed; never sleeps, with an eye' never closed on the empire where the sur never sets. $ Consolidated News Features.* WNW Servlet. UNCOMMON AMERICANS By Elmo « Western Ne wspapet UnionScott Watson Christmas Flower 1X7HEN you buy one of those ’ ' scarlet-petaled flowers called the poinsettia to add to the festive appearance of your home at Christ­ mas time, you are helping perpetu­ ate the fame of an American who little realized that his name would become associated with one of the symbols of the Yuletide. For Joel R. Poinsett" had .so many other, claims to distinction that it seems curious he is best remembered be­ cause a flower bears his name! Born in South Carolina in 1779, he studied both medicine and military science abroad but his father in­duced him to abandon his intention of entering the army and to be­come a student of law. Poor I Dalth forced him to give that up and he asked President Madison for a com­ mission in the army. He was about tc be appointed quartermaster-gen­eral when the secretary of war ob­ jected. Instead he was sent on a dip­ lomatic -mission to South America where he mixed in the politics of Chile, and fomented revolution' un­ til he became known as “the scourge of the American continent” and was recalled. Nexthewas sent to Mexico. Always interested in botany, he brought back from that country the flower which was given the scientific name of “Poinsettia Pulcherina.” Just as he had been a stormy petrel in international politics, so he was a disturbing element in the politics of his native land. During the Nullification controversy in South Carolina he organized and led the Unionist forces. By doing that he won the esteem of the nation­ al government and President Van Buren made him secretary of war. Poinsett improved and enlarged the army, organized a general staff, built up the artillery, directed the Seminole war and managed the re­ moval of some 40,000 Indians to In­dian Territory. In the midst of this activity his scientific interests were not neglected. He experimented with scientific agriculture, sent out the Wilkes expedition into the Ant­ arctic and was largely instrumental in founding the National Institute for the Promotion of Science and the Useful Arts which later was merged with the Smithsonian Insti­tution. His busy career cam*, td an end in 1851 while he was living in retirement as a plantation owner in his native state. Brooklyn Bridge Jumper D ACK in the eighties the Brooklyn u bridge was one of the wonders of the modern world. Its dedication on May 24, 1883 was an event of nation-wide interest but three years later it was even more in the news because of a man with whose name that great span has been linked in popular memory ever since. He was Steve Brodie, bootblack, street car conductor, sailor and worker around the docks who be­came a professional walker as a means of earning some easy mioney. But he was never better than a sec­ond-rater and none of his walking matches ever benefited him great­ ly. In the summer of 1886 he was nearly “broke." One day in July he heard some of his friends talking about the lat­est casualty among the men who had tried for fame and fortune by diving from the Brooklyn bridge to the river, 135 feet below. Seven of them had tried it and all of them had been killed.“Huh, I bet you I could do it and not be.killed,” boasted Brodie. “Bet you $100 you can’t!” replied a friend. • “You’re on!” was.Brodie’s answer. But he was evidently none too confident that he could make good on his boast for he took out a life insurance policy for $1,000 as a protection for his wife, just in case On July 23, 1886 Brodie jumped off the bridge and came up without a scratch. Officials of the life in­surance company were furious be­ cause he had risked~$l,000 of their money to win $100. They returned his premium and cancelled his poli­ cy—which was foolish, for he lived to a ripe old age!His successful jump was widely publicized. It won him an engage­ ment in a melodrama called “Blackmail” in which he had to dive off a great height into a net— a feat which, he declared, was even more dangerous than his jump from the bridge—and his performance in this (at $100 a week) made “Bro­ die, the Brooklyn Bridge-Jumper” famous all over the country. His achievement encouraged imitators and during the next few-years no less than 11 others .tackled the na­ tion’s most spectacular high dive. Although the first, seven had per­ished in their attempts, Brodie seemed to have broken the jinx, for'every one of the 11 survived. By that time the novelty of sueh a feat had somewhat worn off. - But Brodie’s fame- ah the first to make a successful jump Was secure. Moreover, he contributed another picturesque phrase to the Ameri­ can language, for “doing a Brodie" is still a synonym for a spectacular jump or plunge from a height. . AROUND th.

Failure to provide this temperature shortens storage life. Proper amount of moist* ure in the air of storage rooms is also essential. Other causes Ot spoil­ age may have come from storage diseases such as rots and molds. Then there are varieties of fruits and vegetables which are naturally poor keepers. For winter storage, potatoes keep. best in piles small enough so that not more than three feet can be measured from the cen­ ter of the. pile to the outside. Pota­toes need air, and they should be free from loose dirt when placed in storage. Moist air helps in prevent* ing potatoes from shrinking, espe­ cially if the air temperature is some* what higher than that recommend­ed. Frequent sprinkling of the walls in the storage room is beneficial. N otes o f the Farm With the exception of two years in the past 25, the farm value of the United States potato crop was below average when the total yield was above average and the farm value was higher when the crop was below average in size.• • • Soy bean meal mixed with powdered skim milk has been dis­ covered by University of Minnesota scientists to be a good pollen sub­ stitute for bees. • • • The crop pest bindweed—or morn­ing glory—defies drouth because its roots, that spread even as much as twenty-five to thirty feet, store up so much food for hard times.* * • According to estimates, mastitis and Bang’s disease cause an aver-: ’ !s.-’, r" "?"0 to every New Finds Cost V aries in % th e Production o f M ilk The cost of producing milk varies from month to month; it is highest In winter months and lowest in sum- iner'months, according to Dr. L. C. o mninghHm of the department of agricultural economics at Cornell university. Based on yearly average costs,, he says, January and February are the two months when costs are high-) est, and June and July months when-they are lowest. During fall months, the cost builds up toward a winter high; during spring months it tends to taper toward the sum­ mer low. At' the same time, the farm price of »n ilk does not change correspond­ ingly. More variation occurs in the cost of producing milk than in the price received at the farm. In gen­ eral, he points out, the price of milk does not fall so far below the yearly average in the summer, nor , rise so high in the winter months, j It the yearly average cost is taken j as ;100 per cent, the highest pro-: ducihg' cost is represented by 128, and the lowest by 54, whereas the farm price of milk is represented by a high of 115 and a low of 84. j Dr. Cunningham’s figures are. based on a study of 437 dairy farms I in four representative dairy sec-' tions of New York state. Skunks U seful A farmer says: “The skunk is a shy animal and does no harm. I live on a farm and never have I been annoyed by skunks. Farmers claim they’re destructive, but from my experience with them they’re not. Occasionally they may destroy some personal property. I have had them under my barns and hen houses and I’m seldom bothered with rats. The skunks kill snakes, eat snake eggs, dig up cutworms, moles, mice and rats." Dingo Similar to Colli* Tlie dingo Is about tbe size and has something of the appearance of Uie collie. Tbe color varies between reddish brown and black, with frequently white feet and tip of tall. The muzzle Is pointed and the ears rather short and broad. The jaws are remarkable for their tremendous power, which enables the animal completely to tear away the !Iesh gripped In .Its bite and thtu UU its prey largely by shock. • Robtnt Winter In U. S. Robins winter In- the southern stntes and in nortlien Mexico.

By C. L« Blackman, Specialist In Animal Husbandry, Obio State University* -W N U Service.. Ability of purebred dairy cows to outdistance grades and mixed breeds in the production of milk and butterfat is emphasized in rec­ ords from Ohio dairy improvement associations. Production records of 10,320 cows were kept in the 32 associations which reported. The herds are di­ vided into two classes, those with 15 cows or less and those with more than IS cows, and the high pro­ ducing herds in each class are list­ed. The individual production rec­ ords of the 32 high cows out of the 10,320 also are given. Twenty-three out of the first 30 herds in the small herd class were registered purebreds, as were nine out of the first 10 in this classifica­ tion; 20 out of 32 herds in the large herd class were registered and 8 out of tbe first 10; and 26 out of 30 high-producing individuals were registered purebreds and 9 out of the first 10. Only 7 out of 92 of these high records were made by herds that were classified as of mixed breeding and in most of these cases the individual animals had a high percentage of the blood lines of some one acknowledged superior breed. Perhaps not all the superiority as shown by these records was due to the animals themselves because own­ ers of purebreds usually are prouder of their live stock and devote, extra attention to the herd. Members of the association bought 48 purebred cows and 14 purebred bulls during one month. Some cows of mixed breeding and some grade cows produce more milk and butterfat than some indivi­ dual purebred cows but the records show that the chances of good pro* duction are much better with pure­ breds than with grade or scrub cat­ tle. If this were not true all the work.of farmers and scientists who have spent lifetimes in perfecting purebreds would have been wasted. Dairymen who admire purebred cattle should remember that pure­bred dairy cattle originally were developed by farmers who worked for centuries to implant the good characteristics and to eliminate the undesirable features of their'partic­ ular breed. Each breed came from • limited area where groups of breeders built up herds of cattle that would breed true to type. Farm D am as Conserver o f Botii Soil and W ater Soil conservation and water con­ servation go hand in hand, says the Conservation service. For the cheapest and most practical small reservoir for the farm, it recom­mends an earthem dam.. Such dams may be built across a drainage lin« or may enclose an artificial de­ pression to be filled from a natural stream- or drianage way. Most of the cost is for labor and equip­ment which a faimer usually can supply'himself. .' In building reservoirs and ponds for livestock the Soil Conservation service declares too mudremphasis cannot be placed on ample spill* ways, especially if the dam is locat- • ad in a stream channel. • Watersheds overgrazed and sub­ ject to gullying and Sheet erosion, should .be protected; by vegetation before being used to fill a stock pond.; Otherwise, eroded soil will ,rapidly reduce water storage capa­ city. If the watershed above the reservoir is too large there is.danger of flood damage. Steps suggested tor keeping mud out of Uvc stock reservoirs are re­duction or abandonment of grazing and tillage in the watershed; set­ tling basins, check dams, or grassed waterways upstream from the dam ■and floodgates in a diversion ditch "SC pipe line that may be closed against mud-laden water. . F eedin g C hopped Fodder Cbepped fodder should find a piaoo in the winter ration for horses; however, one' should not attempt to IssdVAspped fodder as the only ltrage In the ration, advises a writer Ia ttte Indiana Farmer’s Guide. Dur­ ing the winter the best plan is to feed half alfalfa and half corn stov- er. M der with the ears removed. Ihsra is no need to chop the stover for the animal as it will be con- sunied as satisfactorily in the un­chopped form. Feed horses the al­ falfa in the bam and at every avail­ able' opportunity turn them out in the barnyard or adjacent lot where they will b e given their allotment of corn stover. In this way the ani­ mals get sufficient exercise—a very valuable factor. T reating M ilk Cans ■x.

Supreme Court Jus for the sake of keeping the record straight, let’s take a look at those arguments. 1. That five to four conrt de cisions are numerous. 2. That the Supreme Court has usurped into itself a ’’veto” power over legislation. The first argument is plainly un sound. Since it was first formed, the Supreme Conrt has considered more than 40.000 cases. In onlv 77 instances have acts of Congress been declared unconstitutional And there have been only 11 five to-.four decisions out of that 77 . Second, a Presidential “ veto” means that the Chief Executive, for any reason whatsoever, and without hearing any arguments or explaining his reasons, may refuse to sign a bill. The Supteme Court certainly cannot, and does hot, do that. As for •’usurping” the power to declare acts of Congress invalid, nothing is more certain than that members of the Constitutional Con vention INTENDED to give it that power In all the state con ventions called to ratify the Con­ stitution, this power was recognized and asserted. Alexander Hainilton, in 1787 , put it in this language: **A constitution .is, in fact, and must be regarded< by the judges as a fundamental law. It therefore belongs to them ': to ascertain its meaning, as wellas the meaning of anv particular act proceeding; from the legislative :body. If there should happen to. be an irreconci . liable variance between the two. that which has the superior obliga tion and validity ought, of course, to be preferred; or; in other words, the Constitution ought to be pre­ ferred to the statute, the intention of the People to' the intention of their agents.” . J a s l A s W e E x p e c te d . : GovernorHoev has been in office three months and so far has set aside the edict of the cdhrts and although several men have’been sentenced to death be has not'allowed a single execution during his term of office so far. He finds some excuse to. pro­ long the execution, of the felons and sets aside the orders of the conrts It makes no difference if the culprit has bad a fair trial in the Superior court and the Supreme court has found no error along comes the chilf justice of the High Court of Annul ment and tells Hoey that he hasn’t had time to study the case and Hoey prolongs the sentence. Why does this ” Bevo” Governor have to re­ view these cases? - We thought it Was the province of the ! Supreme Court. Several years ago a man was elected Governor of a western State who was opposed to capital pnnishment and during his entire four-year term of. office he kept the law from being earned out and not a single murderer* arsonist, rapist, or burglar was executed during his reign.

Franco Franco Combating Revolt in Spanish Fascist Army— Developments in Labor Situation—President’s Farm Purchase Plan Opposed. By EDWARD W. PICKARD @ Western Newspaper Union. , ENERAL FRANCO’S revolution in Spain, already checked by serious defeats on both the north­ern and the southern fronts, was further embar­rassed by spreading revolt among the Fascist troops. His agents uncovered the plot and numer­ous arrests were speedily followed by numerous execu­te o n s by firing squads. The mutiny first broke out in Spanish Morocco, and Franco himself hurried there by plane. There were persistent re­ ports that 1,000 Italian soldiers had been landed at Ceuta and were be­ ing used to crush the mutiny. This was denied by the Fascist high com­ missioner of Morocco.More than 100 high-ranking offi­ cers, most of them belonging to the air force, were said to have been implicated in the plot which was seemingly well laid in all parts of Spanish Morocco and the southern tip of European Spain.Government troops were said to be pushing back toward Cordoba the Fascist forces which were trying to •break through for capture of the ,rich coal and mineral territory about Pozoblanco. The insurgent army there, alleged to include 10,- 000 Italians and Germans, was in 'danger of being surrounded and an­nihilated. Great Britain and France official­ly warned Franco that they would no longer tolerate the stopping and Searching of British and French merchant vessels by his warships. r \ EADLOCK over a new wage agreement brought about a walkout of soft coal miners in the Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields and its spread to other fields was certain unless the controversy •were settled. The mine operators and officials of the United Mine Workers of America have been long in negotiation, with John L. Lewis dictating the stand taken by the latter. Edward F. McGrady, assist­ ant secretary of labor, was trying 'hard to help bring about a settle­ment and kept the White House in­ formed of developments. Mainten­ance men were ordered to stand by in the mines, but about 400,000 men quit work. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT dis- -,^,,ajssed the labor situation with . Secretary Perkins and Sidney Hill- - man;" chief organizer of the C. I. O. drive to unionize the textile work­ers. HUlman told him he was hope­ful the problems of the textile indus­ try could be settled by co-operation and arbitration, and it was report­ ed that he promised the textile workers would not attempt to use the sitdown strike. Senator Wagner of New York de­ livered an address in the senate on the sitdown strike situation, charg­ing that the blame of it rested on a few giant corporations which, he said, have “hamstrung” the labor relations board by invoking injunc­ tions in the courts and “who have openly banded together to defy” the labor relations law.Deriding the call for new federal legislation to meet the crisis, Sena­ tor Wagner declared that “the lack of power in the federal government to enforce the labor relations act and not any weakness in existing law is the root cause for the present economic warfare.” Representative Martin Dies of Texas appeared before the house rules committee and urged action on his resolution for a congressional investigation of the strike situation. He again called upon the President to intervene and pointed to section 5299 of the revised United States statutes as giving the chiief execu­ tive authority to take action in the event of such an occurrence as the Chrysler strike.The continued silence of the Pres­ ident on the issue is “ominous,” Representative' Charles L. Gilford of Massachusetts told the house. IIie warned the President against the rise to power of John L. Lewis. Negotiations for settlement of the General Motors strike were pro­ gressing slowly, and officials of the corporation said that 10,100 em­ployees were idle in four plants be­ cause of strikes in Pontiac and 'Flint, Mich. ' \ ’ UNDER pressure from his advis­ ers to take a public stand con­cerning the sit-down strike, Presi­ dent Roosevelt immediately, after his return from Warm Springs held a conference with Vice President . Garner, Senate Majority Leader Joe Robinson. . Speaker ■. Bankhead and House Majority Leader'Sam Ray­burn. At its close Senator Robin­ son, presumably voicing Mr. Roose­velt’s views, said:“The government cannot initiate action under the circumstances thus far presented. It’is felt that the sit- down strike situation in a general sense is improving. “There are two conditions under which federal action may be in­voked in case of acute strike condi­ tions; namely where federal laws have been violated or where federal property, including the mails, is in­terfered with.“Unless one of these conditions exists, federal intervention or ac­tion, under the Constitution and de­ cision of the courts, is not warranted.“The second condition is cases where state authorities, under the federal law, ask the services of fed­ eral agencies in the preservation of law and order and in the prevention of violence. “Neither condition has so far aris­en. - Except in instances where in­terstate commerce is interfered with, where a federal law is disre­garded, the federal government does not, and cannot under the Con­stitution, initiate action.” CEVEN Democrats joined the six Republicans on tlie house agri­culture committee and disapproved th e President’s proposal to al­ lot $50,000,000 to assist farm tenants to buy farms on easy credit terms. This majority of the committee ob­ jected to the program because it would put the government into the real estate business. The proposition is contained in one section of the farm tenant bill and would author­ ize the secretary of agriculture to buy farms for resale to tenants on terms that would give them as long as 45 years to pay. The interest rate would be 3 per cent. Sponsors of the measure probably 'will try to get it through the senate, and after house refusal to agree it would then go to conference. Only the day before the President had given out his farm tenancy program as follows 1. Continuation of rehabilitation loans, most of which would go to people living on land which the gov­ernment believes can be made to pay. 2. Purchase of S|ubmargihal land so that it can be taken out of cultiva­ tion and put into timber or grasses. 3. Federal purchase of land for resettlement of families taken off submarginal land and purchase of tenant farms to give tenants a chance to own the land they are tilling. Sen. Norris CIENATOR GEORGE NORRIS of Nebraska is intent on his plan for the creation of a national power authority similar to the Tennessee Valley authority, and he intends to in­troduce a bill for this during the pres­ent session of con­gress. This he an­ nounced after con­ferring with th e President, and he intimated the idea was approved by Mr. Roosevelt. He has experts at work investigating its feasibility and map­ping out the details. - “AU rivers of the United States should be controlled by the nation if their nature is subject to it by na­tional flood control policy,” the sen­ ator said. "Whenever the river will develop power, we should take ad­ vantage of it. I’ve always regard­ed power as a subsidiary or by­ product of flood control.” A LINK with a past era was broken by the death in Wash­ ington of Mrs. Robert Todd Lincoln at the age of ninety years. She was the daughter-in-law of President Lincoln and the mother and grand­ mother of his only living descend? ants, Mrs. Charles Isham, Mrs. Jes­ sie Randolph and their three chil­dren. Mrs. Lincoln was the daugh­ ter of James Harlan, who was a senator from Iowa and later sec­retary, of the interior. In 1868 she married Robert Todd Lincoln, the martyred President’s son. In the administrations of Presidents Gar­field and Arthur her husband served as secretary of war, and under President Benjamin. Harrison, he served as minister to England. Aft­ erward he was general counsel and then president of the Pullman com­pany. P ) ICTATOR JOSEPH STALIN of Russia, in his official capacity as secretary of the central com­ mittee of the Communist party, de­ mands a new purge of the party, so we probably will read soon of another mass execution of hundreds under arrest. '■ “I think it is clear,” said Stalin, “that the present wreck­ ers and diversionists—no matter whether they have masked them­selves under the flag of Trotzkyism of Bukharinism—have lost their in­ fluence in the worker’s movement and have' become simply an unprin­ cipled and idealless band' of profes­sional-wreckers, diversionists, spies and murderers. ; “It is quite clear these gentlemen should be destroyed, exterminated mercilessly as enemies of the work­ ing class and enemies- of our coun­try.” what thinks about Irvin S. Cobb .Departed Spirits. SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— Continued failure of medi­ ums to claim the reward offered by the late Harry Houdini, who provided a test for proof of communication with -the spirit world, makes me think of a thing that happened at the first seance ever held down in my neck of the woods.- The operator was summoning the spirits of departed dear ones to order. A lanky youth out of the bottoms desired to speak with his father.Presently, a shad­ owy figure appeared between the cabi­net’s dark curtains and a voice uttered muffled sounds. “Is that you,Paw?” inquired the seeker. “Yes, son,” an­swered the voice. “Paw, air you in heaven?” Seemingly startled, the ghostly ap­ parition hesitated a moment be­fore giving what might be taken for an affirmative sound.“Paw, air you an angel?” de­ manded the son. Again an embarrassing delay, then a diffident mumble.“A regular angel with wings and everything?” Once more a low grunt. “Say, Paw,” cried the youth, perk­ ing up, “whut do you measure from, tip to tip?”* ♦ * Matrimonial Adventures. HERETOFORE some of the au­thorities have held that the first two years were the hardest in matri­monial adventures, but the peak of the danger period for married coup­ les is now set at the sixth year by Lois Angeles’ city attorney. On the side he runs a bureau for handling the funds assessed for family sup­ port against separated or delinquent parents. So he ought to know about' it, if anybody does.Well, personally, I always did have the theory that no woman could stand any man for more than five years unless ■ she got numb. After that it’s just a long-distance endurance test on her side—and per­ haps sometimes on both sides.* * * Senatorial Shifts.\ J AMING no names, a little bird * 'just in from Washington whis­ pers that one senator, under the in­fluence of alternating psychic waves or something, already has shifted three times on the plan to make the Supreme court over. First he was against it, then for it, then against it again, and is now threat­ening to change once more. They’ll be taking bets on him at Lloyd’s next. ' - Once in,a while we iget a states­man who reminds you of a hunk of country butter in an icebox— takes the flavor of everything near by, but not improved by .any One of ’em.• * • Maine’s Statesmen. T'HERE is but one answer to the * attitude assumed by both of Maine’s senators, who show a pro­ nounced inclination to balk at what­ever the New Deal calls for in con­ gress and especially at the plan to mold the Supreme court somewhat closer to the boy scout model. ' If these here foreigners don’t like this country, why don’t they go back where they came from?* « * The Game of Poker. CALIFORNIA’S attorney general decides that draw poker, unless played as a percentage game, i* not gambling. Had he gone deeper into the sub­ject, he might have ruled that draw poker, as generally played nowa­ days, is not even a game. What vet­ eran would call it anything except a sacrilege-against an dncSent and once honorable sport when folks are free to introduce at will such abom­ inations as deuces wild or one-e/ed jacks or barber’s itch or spit in the ocean? To draw honest cards; to. try to' play the other fellow’s chances as well as your own; to try to figure when to raise and when to call and when to quit; to try to pick-the right moment for bluffing, since the bluff is the real soul of the thing—that's poker, my masters, an American- )orn pastime, hallowed with age, ennobled by usage, beloved of the fathers.IRVIN S.

WASHING'CN D C 'Seeing’ Bridge The only bridge in the world that can “see” has been completed at Kincardine, Scotland. Equipped with three electric “eyes,” the huge swinging center span automatical­ly aligns itself with the. roadway when closed. AU thre.» “eyes” .are located on one end of the swinging span, says the Washington Post. One sees the. span does, not over­ shoot the mark, another that it does not undershoot, and the third watches for the dead central posi-. tion. The 1,500-ton span Zis1 so delicately poised on the central pivot that only two 50-horsepower electric motors are needed to swing it open to river traffic. Washington—Throughout history, unsound economic policies have had _ ‘ . a way of demon-Expertenee strating their un- as a Teacher soundness by the results that even­tually become understandable to the rank and file of the people. Like­wise, throughout history the rank and file of the people have learned their lesson each time and have avoided burning their fingers a sec­ ond time. That is, fingers were not burned a second time until a new generation came along and refused to examine and take into account the lessons of experience.Lately, we have- seen another such demonstration. We have seen both the results and the refusal of current leaders to profit by exper­ iences of the past. / I refer particularly to conditions involving- United States bonds, Those who have followed market quotations must recognize that Unit­ ed States bonds and other securities issued by the treasury have suffered from fluctuations in prices that por­ tend, if, indeed, they do not prove that federal financial policies of the last four years were unsound. There was propaganda from official quar­ ters during one of the periods of sagging prices that the condition resulted from market manipulations and the activities of “tipsters.” Sto­ ries to this effect came directly out of the treasury although they did not carry the identity of the official who made the statements.The whole circumstance must be considered together, however, if one is to arrive at . any sort of a con­clusion concerning the true state of affairs. One must think of the total amount of government secur­ ities outstanding — something like thirty-four-billions—and one must recognize as well what is going on in commerce and industry. In addi­tion to these factors, attention must be given to conditions of the last several years when the Roosevelt administration was engaged — and still is engaged — in the great­ est orgy of spending that our na­ tion ever, has known. When you add up these various factors, you get an answer which seems to me to be irrefutable. In the first place, no nation nor any of its individuals can go on indefinitely spending money, when it does not have that money. That is, it cannot spend more than its in­ come over any extended period without suffering bad results. Our nation did that. It made up the difference between its income and its spending by borrowing. It gave government bonds to those from whom it borrowed, evidence of its debt. The immediate result of this condition was that there are mil­ lions upon millions of government bonds held by banks, corporations and individuals. These bonds bear an exceedingly low rate of interest. It is only natural that anyone with money to lend will look for the highest interest rate they can get. If they happen to hold government bonds, those bonds will be dumped in favor of securities paying higher returns. That has happened to some extent already.* • * It is to be remembered as well that these bonds were issued in the , . currency of theSuvply and devalued dollar. D em and the fifty-nine cent dollar as meas­ured, by the value of gold.Now. the law of supply and de­ mand that has always operated and which always will operate places a basic value upon commodities, upon the services of labor. It is op­erating again and has brought about a greater demand for commodities, the things we need, to eat or to wear and the countless items of modern day living. The prices of these, measured in present currency, are higher because it takes almost two of the present day dollars to buy the same quantity as formerly could be purchased with the dollar that was good for one-hundred cents in gold. The answer to this is that most of us can not help regarding gold as a commodity having a stable value. So, we see a result in this direction. Labor, too, is demanding more of the fifty-nine cent dollars for its share of production. It has a right to do so. If you measure wages as you measure commodity values, and it seems to me there can be on­ly one yardstick, then labor is justi­ fied in asking- for higher pay. Again, a result of tinkering with the currency becomes ‘evident be- ciausfe labor is forced to pay more for what it buys as a.result of the reduction in the dollar’s gold value. 1 Then, finally, I am quite con­ vinced that in addition to the fac­ tors I have discussed as having .weight in causing fluctuation of gov­ ernment: bond prices, no one can deny the; influence that is beingex- erted by the radical labor element throughout the strikes thathaye been promoted. • These strikes haveAdone.'fjEOre: than just violate law .by unjustified and unwarranted seizure of Uui prop-. erty of other persons. They have developed among the strikers them* selves a resentment against every­one who owns a farm or a home or a business.The tragedy of this condition, to leave fee subject of currency for a moment, is that the strikes show how little respect for law and order exists among a segment of our pop­ulation. It is not only a tragedy. It is a dangerous sign and unless somewhere in our nation, govern­ ment asserts its authority and pro­tects rights, we may possibly be faced with a circumstance in which our nation will be held together again only by use of army guns.• * • To get back then to the bond market it seems to me there is a closely knit skein Unsound of conditions that G round prove where o u rgovernment has gone into unsound ground. It can be. pointed out how the tinkering with the curfency has carried through to -the ultimate consumer and the wage worker. It can be shown how the national government has dis­ regarded the rights of - part of the population and favored another part of the population and in doing so has created a class hatred which is liable to cause trouble in the nation for the next fifty years.Notwithstanding the lessons to be learned from these, experiences we observe how the same mistake is being made in another way. !.refer now to the attitude of administra­tion leaders who are supporting President Roosevelt’s program to add six justices of his own choosing to the Supreme court of the United States. Throughout the argument that has come from proponents of the President’s packing , plan there runs a constant and recurring ap­ peal that if we can only have six new justices in the Supreme court we can do all of the things that are necessary to bring about labor peace and complete business recov­ ery.Disregarding the merit or demerit of this argument, it seems to me one cannot help looking somewhat into the future and determining on the basis of experience of the' past what may happen if the-Supreme, court is emasculated as, the Presi­dent proposes. I said earlier in this article that there has grown up a tremendous disrespect for law, The, continued prattle about the necessity for “new blood” in the Supreme court is sim­ply and frankly another step in the direction of a. government by men and not a government by law.It is to be recalled that Mr. Roose­ velt was given by his rubber-stamp congress more, power than, any President of the United States ever has exercised before;. I do riot: make the charge that, the difficulties-that I have attempted to analyze > above resulted directly frpm according the Chief Executive so much power. But history surely teaches the les­son that where one man lias so much power available: he:- always makes more mistakes than, -where - that power is exeriisedby the prop­ erly appointed or elected represent­ atives of the masses of the peoDle. I recall a homely saying, often heard in my youth, that two heads are better than one even though one may be a cabbage head. I am quite convinced that the 435 mem­ bers, of the- house of representa­ tives and the 96 members of the seriate ha ve more Wisdom collective­ly than one man. Adverting again to the' questions of currency and prices, we have only to look across the Atlantic ocean and see what. happened in Italy, in Russia and in Germany where one man attempted to estab­lish his own ideas On the currency. From what I have heard from offi­ cial sources, it must be true that in, those three countries I mentioned, there are billions of pieces, of paper money - that are worth altogether little more than the cash value of the paper on your walls. It a l­ways has worked out that way.- * • • Some of the business interests of : the country apparently are taking . . time by the fore-Take t m e JocIt and adjusting . by F ordoek themselves to con­ditions where the government is by men and not by law. A few days ago the distilled spirits institute announced that it had elected W. Forbes Morgan as- its president. Mr. Morgan, an uncle by marriage of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, resigned as treasurer of the Democratic National commit­tee to enter the employment of the liquor interests. While there, was no official announcement concerning Mr. Morgan’s salary, the gossip per­ sists that he is to be paid something like five-hundred-thousand dollars for five years’ work in his new job.His election, raises two questions; What can- Mr. Morgan do for the. liquor industry that is worth so much money arid; secondly, wheth- : er the selection of Mr. Morgan does not show how stupid business in ­terests can be. ~ , Western N w nptper Unioa: IOf IHlERtST IO ^ THE HOUSEWIFE, !Ciiiiiing- Saucepans—Aluminum saucepans that have become dis­ colored inside can be made to look like new by boiling in them water to which a tablespoonful of vine­gar and some apple parings or lemon rinds have been added.* • • VsefnI Velvet—If you are mak­ ing anything of velvet do not throw away the pieces of material Ief*: over.

Scar­ lett, Clark Gable will be Rhett, Janet Gaynor draws the appealing role of Melanie, and Leslie Howard will be Ashley, whom Scarlett loves but loses. Undoubtedly if the tests made in New York show real talent, the girls will be put under contract to play supporting roles in “ Gone With the Wjnd” or for future pictures. — -K - That cast that Hal Roach has lined up to support Constance Ben­nett in “Topper”— Connie’s entry in the high comedy race— has everyone gasp­ ing. Cary Grant, so overwhelmingly pop- . ular since he dom­ inated .Grace Moore in “When You’re in Love,” draws the lead. Hedda Hopper and Billie Burke, who are just as slick at comedy lines as they are at wearing ex­ quisite clothes, are next in impor­ tance, and Roland Young and Alan Mowbray join the cast to -add to the hilarity.. Even if Greta Garbo •were playing the lead, a more im­posing cast could not have been commandeered. A current picture that everyone likes, and that men are particularly enthusiastic over is “Sea Devils,” an RKO picture with Victor McLaglen. There is a storm at sea in this one that will make you grip the arms of your theater seat or your companion and if you don’t let out a few loud gasps, you won’t be like the majority in *he preview audience. Ida Lupino plays the lead skillfully, but the girl, you will remember, is Helen Flint who gives a brilliant perform­ ance as a tough character. —•K - A few years ago it was considered the lowest form of insult if a screen actress was called a “Clothes- horse.” In fact, Gloria Swanson used to threaten to play nothing but waifs in rags if reviewers didn’t stop praising her ability to wear clothes.

Simone Simon I, UNCOMMON AMERICANS By Elmo © Western - Scott Watson " ' 5 “ j - Father of the CattleTraiIs TF IT had not been for Joseph G, * McCoy, there might never have occurred that epic migration over the cattle trails from Texas to the north during the seventies and eighties. In that case the history of the Lone Star state—and. the whole West, for that matter—might have been very different. McCoy, a native of Springfield, HI., was a stockman and cattle buyer who went to the raw little frontier town of Abilene, Kan., soon after the Civil war was over.That conflict had ruined the cat­ tlemen in Texas. Shut off from the Northern markets by the Union control of the Mississippi river, their herds had increased enor­mously, but without a place to sell the animals, they were compar­ atively worthless. Then the Kan­ sas Pacific railroad, which was building west, reached Abilene and McCoy was inspired with a wonder­ful idea.If he could get the Texas drovers to drive their herds north across Indian territory to Abilene, grazing them on the rich prairie grass as they came, Abilene would be the market place and shipping center where Texas sellers and Chicago and Kansas City buyers could meet. . Despite many obstacles, in­cluding the prevalent belief that Texas beef was not as good as that grown in the Middle West, Mc­Coy went about the job of making his dream come true. In July, 1867, he began raising money to build a “shipping yard,” a barn and office and to begin the construction of a large, three-story frame hotel for the accommodation of Texas drovers and eastern buy­ ers. His next ’.ask was to get word to' the cattlemen more than 400 miles away to the south. Al­ though the time was short he man­aged to persuade enough of them to make the experiment so that they marketed 35,000 head of cattle in Abilene that fall and received approximately $15 a head'for their steers. Previous to that time steers were selling for $5 a head in Texas. The next year more than 75,000 cattle were marketed. there. By 1871 that number had jumped to 120,000 and by the next year to 236,000. From that time on Texas cattle poured north by the hundreds of thousands over the original cattle trail from the Red river to Abi­ lene and other trails which were laid out Other Kansas “cow towns" began to boom with activity as the railroad was pushed farther west and southwest and there was added to our history that thrilling chap­ ter when the cattleman was king. And all of this was due to the vision of one man—Joseph G. McCoy, the “Father of the Cattle Trails.” Mr. Currier and Mr. Ives 'T'HEY gave Americans of their -L day the equivalent of the news reels of today. They were the pic­torial historians. of contemporary American life a century ago when newspapers contained' little or no picture material except an oc­casional fashion print. , When a steamboat blew up, a great fire swept a . City or some other .disaster occurred, Mr. Cur­ rier and Mr. Ives immediately put out a colored picture of the'event with plenty of action in it. When the United States was at war, they issued splendid battle pictures with plumed, generals on prancing horses (and plenty of gory detail as to dead and wounded soldiers). There were pictures of horse races and other sporting events, there were pictures of swift clipper ships and pictures of the first .transcontinental trains running amidst Indians and buffalo. There were highly moral pictures there were even “comic strips” —caricatures of life among the ne­groes, called “Darktown Comics.” It all started back in 1830 when young Nathaniel Currier, working, as an apprentice to John Pendle­ton, who had returned from Europe with the new art of lithography, be­ gan thinking of setting up his own business. So he went to New York and started- as a lithographer in partnership with a "young man named Stoddard. This partnership lasted only a year but in 1835 Cur­rier began again. He soon built up a profitable business but it wasn’t, until 1850 when James A. Ives be-, came his partner that fame and fortune came to them. For 30 years Mr. Currier and Mr. Ives - were “printmakers to the American people” and Currier and Ives prints, of one sort or another were to be found on the walls of virtually every American home. In 1880 Currier retired with a fortune but the .firm .continued with a son- of the founder in his place. In 1888 machine color printing was ap­plied to their product and even greater numbers of their pictures flooded the country. ' In recent years Currier and Ives prints have become “Americana.” Where once these prints; sold from six cents to $3, they are . now sell­ ing for anywhere, from $20 to $500. And cue of them recently brought $3,0001' ' IMPROVED UHIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I CHOOL L e s s o n By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUlSTt Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. . -.£ Western Newspaper Union, t Lesson for April 25 THE OBEDIENCE OF NOAH LESSON TEXT—Cenesis 6:20-22; 9:8-11. ’ GOLDEN TEXT-By faith Noah, being warned of God concerning things not seen •as yet. moved witib godly'fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house. Heb. 11:7. PRIMARY TOPIC-The Meaning of the Rainbow. JUNIOR TOPIC—The RainbowtS Message. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Following GodtS Plan. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Deliverance through Obedience. The “book of beginnings” (Gene­ sis) has alreadyi brought , before us the creation of the world, the origin of man, the entrance of. sin into the world, and God’s judgment upon that sin. In chapter 4 we find the first murder. Cain,'who brought an offering before God which was not acceptable, murdered Kis brother Abel,, whose offering pleased God. Strange it-is that man has it in his heart to hate those who expose his sin by their godly life. God does not leave himself with­out a witness in the earth. The God-fearing line of Seth appears. There are always those who have not bowed the knee to the Adver­ sary. Consider the. astonishment of Soviet officials at the deep-seated and wide-spread faith in God re­ vealed in their recent census. But sin again lifts its ugly head and-ere long God is driven to the necessity of judgment upon man­ kind. Read the terrific indictment of humanity in Genesis 6:5-7. It is still true that the heart of man apart from God’s grace is “des­ perately wicked” (Jer. 17:9). Well -does a contemporary writer say that even modern "psychology has unveiled the dismal and sinister depths in human nature. Man can no longer flee from reality into the romantic refuge of his own heart; for the human heart has be­ come a house of horrors in whose murky recesses man cannot erect for his solace either a shrine or a citadel. Man is bad; he is a sin­ ner. The depths of his meanness are being unveiled in.a ghastly way in individual and social life in these ’ times. What a contemporary rirfg there is about these old biblical' judgments on mankind! (Gen. .6:5, 6 ; Isa. 1:6 .) What a tremendous ar­ raignment of sinful human nature is Paul’s prologue in Romans I’ (Mackay). So God sent a flood upon the earth. It used to be fashionable to doubt the story of the flood, but archaeology has joined hands with geology and history to agree with Scripture. The facts are available; let us use them. . “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” and prepared aii ark at God’s command. Here again it can be demonstrated that the ark was sufficiently large to meet the need of Noah and all his family, with the animals and their food, and with room to spare. Jt is significant that the proportions'of the ark were those of a well-planned boat. God knows how to build, and man does well to obey his instructions. The rain came, the fountains of the deep were opened, and all the living perished, except those within the ark. What an rinstructive type of our safety in Christ is the ark!But our lesson concerns primar­ ily what occurred after Noah came forth from the ark- and presented himself before God. I. An Obedient Hffl (8:20-22). To come before God with accept­able worship, man must come with clean hands. The-question is hot whether he is brilliant, learned,•; or of high position. The one thing that , counts is’, obedience. When .such a man offers the worship, of' his heart, before God, it goes up to him like a sweet savor. H. A Covenant-Keeping God (9:8- 17). The beautiful rainbow in the cloud became a token of God’s promise, and the visible assurance to “all flesh” that the judgment of the flood will not be' repeated. Never again will seed time and harvest, nor any of the orderly processes of nature, fail throughout the wholes earth. What a gracious Gbd:'we’have! And what a pity that men presume upon his goodness. Because he “maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth:rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matt. 5:45),' men not only forget that he is the giver of all things, but assume that they may sin against him with impunity. Let us remind them that it is the clear teaching of Scripture that, “every one of us shall give account of him­ self to God” (Rom.-14:12). L a t e s t i n S p r i n g P r in ts No. 1272.

T here is always som ething to look forw ard to in this good old world ot ours. Seems th at all is not gold that glitters. A fellow generally gets jnst about w hat he pays for. T be big yellow apples and the big red peaches always look better in the nursery catalog than they do on the trees in the orchard. T he articles in the mail order catalogs look very enticing also, and thousands of dol­ lars are sent but of our state weekly, to buy things that could be purchas- e I as cheap or even cheaper nearer borne. A newspaper poll is being taken to find out w hether the voters want . '.Franklin Roosevelt as president for third term , W ashington was of­ f-red the third term and w ouldn't accept it.

A ccording to figures giv en out by the state there were 25 m ore people killed by automobiles in N orth Carolina in F ebruary than were killed in the same m onth in 1936. So far as we have been able to learn these patter-rollers have never saved a life or prevented a wreck.

Good deeds are scarcer than bad ones, but one' evil act will keep people talking longer than a hundred good ones. A trained mind deserves, the companionship of a cultured heart.Peace, to any of the great pow­ ers, seems to involve :ts own dom­ ination over the others.: Unsatisfying Retribution Observant men have made up ' their.'minds to this: Retribution is seldom adequate. A man of culture is respected for it. Don’t be afraid of acquir­ing it, only be sure of getting enough. You can’t make dreams come true by remaining asleep.The eager expectancy of youth is the source of so much enthusi­asm for a better world. Take a Hand in the Doings To enjoy a celebration, be one of the performers in it instead of a looker-on.Self-denial is good for everyone notwithstanding each enforcement of it nearly ruins one's temper.

Hugh stood still. He was con­scious of something different in Joan. An unwilling response tin­gled through him. “Shall I crack the ice now?** he asked calmly. Sunday Joan was standing close beside him. dangerously close. “Hugh.” . He laughed nervously. “What’s got into you, Jonny?: He kissedher lightly on the cheek; his arm. went around her with a little squeeze. Then he pushed her away.She came back with the swift light movement of a bird. Her smoky eyes burned with tender­ ness. “Would I be so hard to love?” “Of course not.” “Then why ?” “Lots of reasons, Jonny. You know them as well as I do. Be a good girl—step back to the table. Dish out the crackers—do some­ thing.” She stood still and very close to him. She said in a small distinct voice, '‘There are no good rea­sons.” , He stared at her. A hollow some­thing beat in his brain like the blow of a mallet. One . . . two . . . three . . . crack. One . . . two . . . three . . . He wet his lips and was suddenly conscious of the taste of brass in his mouth. “Explain.”“Don’t you know?” He turned his heavy gaze on her. “I don’t know ” He paused stu­ pidly. She went to the kitchen cup­board, and with trembling hands began to set out some glasses. He followed her, seized her arm. “What do you mean? You’ll have to tell me.” She fell back from him. “No, I won’t tell you.” His eyes held hers and iu their shining fearful depths, He read the destroying truth. He pushed open the swinging door to the hall. The soft chenille rug gave no sound of his footsteps. He felt as if he were a soldier go­ing to meet a destined bullet. The lights were dim in the living-room; the card table was vacated. He stood in the door for a .moment, then went back very quietly. He leaned*up against the wall of the kitchen. His face was swept With agony. It burned like acid, and it froze like ice. He had seen it with his own eyes. If someone had told him, he. would have explained it away to meet the desirous need of his soul to believe in her. But he had seen it—Dorrie and Cun were lov­ers. Joan looked at him compassion­ ately. “Poor Hugh,” she mur­ mured. It came' upon him In black waves that this knowledge was the thing he had been fleeing from. He had turned his face awaf; denied the possibility to his soul. A secret voice , had whispered that her cold­ ness had a reason . '. . He had re­fused to listen. Finally he said in a - croaking, foggy voice, “You knew it that night at Freeland Farms.” “When I cried? Yes, I was so sorry for us both. I hoped when he was working, things would bedifferent ” “How long?” “I don’t know. It must have started early last winter—Janu­ ary, perhaps. I wasn’t sure who it was until that week—the day or two before Freelands. But I thought you must know by this time . . . they’re so very . . . they don’t care any more.” She had known about it, yet had been able to entertain them—at Cun’s insistence, probably—come to their house, act a part. . . “liv­ing for the day.” Her courage was beyond him. He took out his hand-, kerchief to wipe his dripping fore­ head. His . hand ^rembled. He slumped into a kitchen chair. A groan escaped him. Joan, poured something in - a ass. !‘Here, drink this. It .will do you good. You’re so white.” He lifted it to his lips and the odor' of the liquor sent a violent and uncontrollable nausea shudder­ing through him. He rose and plunged toward the back door. 'Sick, Joan . . . sick . . . going out.” In a- few minutes she heurd his car drive away. CHAPTER V n I Hugh fumbled through the. fog to the street and climbed into his car. He drove' automatically, stopped at through streets, shifted gears, rolled into his own driveway and garage. He shut off the engine, sat humped over the wheel, his head on his arms. If death Would come now . . . suddenly . . . end this chaotic desolation! The agony was more terrific than any physical pain. He went into the house, dragged two suitcases from a closet. He reeled as he deposited them or. the bedroom floor. He sat down on the bed. shaking with weakness. Pres­ ently he go>t up, opened a drawer of the chiffonier, lifted a pile of shirts. / A car ,stopped in front of the house; fa* heard light footsteps on the porch. Dorrie came running up the stairs. Her hair was blown a little; her blue scarf trailed over one shoul­ der. “I must say that was a fluesr thing to do:—go off without saying a word,” she said, angry excite­ ment in her eyes. “What was the matter?” Her voice had a raw edge, unlike her usual tone. When he did not answer, she went to the dresser : and picked up a comb, ran it through her hair. “Even if you were sick—Joan said you were—why did you go off with the car? How do you suppose T felt before Joan?” She was thinking he was the same person as before dinner—go­ ing to carry it off as if she were the offended one. Now—even now. That was what she had been do­ ing right along, making him feel at fault, because she was so horribly at fault herself. He was beginning to understand. Everything that had puzzled him . . , And the under­ standing poisoned his soul. She must have seen his white face in the mirror for she turned suddenly. She saw the suitcases, the open drawers, the expression on his face. Arrested, she scarcer Iy breathed as she stared at him. Comprehension blanched her face, “What—does this mean?” When he did not speak, she said in-quivering low voice, “Hugh?” She caught the dresser behind her with’ both hands. Her tone curled and lashed. Presently she said, “You were spying on us!” He gave a laugh that was like a sob. “Do you call it that?’’ “Well, now you know, what ol it?” she flung out. “What of it? .... Am I any worse than a hundred women you can name?’'1 A hundred women. She was im­plying there was no such thing as virtue—fidelity. All their friends in the same treacherous business. Flimsy defense. “And you—what about you?” She was smiling scornfully. “You can’t make me believe you’re as lily white as you’re painted I . . . What about that stenographer you’ve had so long? . . .. And you and Joan getting clubby? . . . And that El­ len Pendleton whom you kiss each time you see her at your moth­ er’s? And ” “You’re lying, and you know it." She looked sullen. She began again, heaping blame upon him. “Even if you haven’t met anyone you care for, I should think you’d be understanding and sorry for me if I have! . . . Do you think we could help it? Don’t you- suppose we struggled against it? Tried not to see each other, hoping we’d get over it? . . . And didn’t I try to make you leave this town? But you wouldn’t go!” “So you care for him,” Hugh re­ peated dully. Her long green eyes looked at him with cruelty and contempt. She threw back her head with a little gesture, and the words came out with a passionate ringing stress: “Care for him? . . . I love him—love him!” A sword ran through him . . . two swords—with the agonizing knife thrust of her repeated words. She loved Cun—not him. Love. The word was hideous. He put his arm weakly acros9 his eyes. “Please—no more—jusl now.” But' Dorrie was not finished. She went on in a tangential torrent of reproach. ‘Tm sick of all your relatives and thousand cousins tell­ ing me what a prize' I’ve won in you, their fair-haired boy!—as if I were nothing! And you’ve humiliat­ ed me—yes, you have! . . . It’s your fault—yours only! I meant to be a good wife to you—intended to be—but all you think of is that old business! . . You never understood ” “Shut up!” he thundered sudden^ Iy. A vein was livid across his tem­ple. She stared at him. Then threw herself into a chair and began to cry, long, tearing sobs that set hia raw nerves quivering. Grimly he emptied the drawers, ,throwing things to the floor, then crowding them into the cases. He snapped them shut, lfted them and started out. She flew to the door, barred It with her outspread arms. “Hugh— don’t go.” “Stand away,” he ordered impa­ tiently. “Not tonight. Hugh—don’t go. Tomorrow ...” “I’m going.” - He looked at her with set face. “There is no place for me in this house—haven’t you told me?” “I said wild things . . .” , “That havfe been in your mind. Waiting to be said.” “I didn’t realize ” “ You talk about understanding- well, I didn’t. I. thought of you as something special, rare, and en­chanting. My life revolved 'around you—you knew, it—I told you. I never saw you as you'really are- common, vulgar and selfish. Wher you said things that disturbed me, I thought, it Was caprice. I worked hard to make more money to. give it to you, because I loved you. .Ne one could have, made me beliey* this thing if I;hadn’t .seen you.Ir his arms, seen your filthy caresse* . . .” He choked, turned his heat' aside.

Ol’ Man River backs away, and there is assured a braver flare of silks and trumpets than ever before, as the pastures grow green again in Wall street and Kentucky. This will be Colonel Winn’s sixty- third Kentucky derby. He saw his first one in 1875, won by a little red horse called Aristides. He was a grocer’s boy, watching the race from the tailboard of his employer’s cart. Being a romantic Irish lad, the excitement never stopped boiling. After that, he never could keep his mind on his groceries. He has had many a run-around in the racing business, but, at seventy-five, he isn’t the least bit track-sore. As pres­ident of the Kentucky Jockey club and executive director of Churchill Downs, he rides recurrent floods like Noah and always finds dry land. In 1907, the late James Butler opened the Empire City track, but the nabobs, of racing hereabouts refused to recognize it. Mr. Butler signed up Colonel Winn to run it. In eight months it was given full recog­nition. When Charles Evans Hughes squelched racing in New York state, Colonel Winn tried his fortune in racing and management at Juarez, Mexico, with unhappy results. He returned to Kentucky, where he just naturally belongs, and now he just about runs racing in Kentucky and Illinois. He is president of the Amer­ican Turf association, which con­ trols not only Churchill Downs, but also the tracks of Chicago and Laur­ el, Md. The years paw at the Colonel’s robust person the way the river paws at the track. So far, neither has won a decision. The Godolphin. Arab, ancestor of all the Bangtails, was never more alive than the white haired Colonel Winn, with his genial, round face, up-tilted Irish nose and bright, twinkling eyes.• I • • Proof the War is Over. IT IS Dr. William R. Valentiner, curator of the Detroit Insti­ tute of Art, who provides this week’s reminder that the war’s over. As one of the most authoritative and highly respected art critics of the country, he passes as authentic the lost Rembrandt “Juno” portrait, which arrived in New York recently. Seventeen years ago, there was considerable public concern as to whether Dr. Valentiner should be. allowed to return to this country. This writer dredged up a most in­ temperate ^editorial on that subject —Yellow with age and strangely un­ real in the world of today. Dr. Valentiner, frock-coated and dignified curator of decorative arts at the Metropolitan museum, had been in Germany when the-war started. He remained to fight for Germany. He was an artilleryman, twice decorated. He wrote happily to his confreres at the museum that his elevation to the rank of vice-sergeant major relieved him fr&m currying his own horse. He resigned from the museum when we entered the war.'Before c&ning to America, he had attained distinction as a curator at the Hague and at the Royal mu­ seums of Berlin. He became one of the world authorities on Rembrandt. He contends that, of the 175 sup­posed Rembrandts in the United States and Canada, only forty-eight are genuine — incidentally, worth $50,000,000, as “time and the river” roll on for 350 years. • • * Campos the Conqueror A NOTHER Harvard man in the- news—also in jail. The incar­cerated Pedro Albizu. Campos has been the spark plug, or main irri­tant, of the incipient revolution in Puerto Rico, flaring up again at San Juan with seven killed and' fifty injured. A wavy-haired mulatto with Valen­tino sideburns, pearl-button shoes and a Harvard degree, he has as­ pired to become the Henri Chris- tophe of Latin ,America, spilling sesquipedalian words over eleven countries. His father was a Basque and his mother Spanish, Negroid and Indian. He is frail in physique, of cafe con leche coloring, passionately intense and racked with patriotic fervor. Last month, the nationalist party, leading the present agitation for in­dependence, again elected him pres­ ident. Several years ago, he started his movement with a black shirt army with wooden guns. His arrest and trial-for sedition, with 'seven others last July, has kept Puerto Bico boiling ever since. . - © Consolidated News Features. '. WNU Service.

The kiddies are wear­ ing the simple styles appropriate to childhood and therein their smartness lies.Auntie Rose Sews, Too. Little Ann is asking Auntie Rose if she makes her clothes too. “Sure enough, dear,” comes the reply. “I made this percale for mornings and have a beauty in yellow crepe cut from the same pattern to wear to the Bid-or-Bi meetings.”“I’ll bet you can sew fast, too, the way Mother does. It only took her two mornings to make- Ed­ die’s suit and my dress.

Bxteinlon HorHeal turist, New Jersey College of‘Agri­culture.—WNU Service. . Although far-sighted fruit grow­ ers will take advantage of milo weather to prune their trees, it is sometimes advisable to wait until the latter part of the dormant sea- _ son to prune peaches.Pruning under favorable weathei conditions is not only more com­fortable than during extremely cold periods, but it is also more econom­ical 3$ a worker can do more Prun- in’ in a day. Furthermore, an earlj start in pruning operations is some insurance that ■ the - entire • orchard will be pruned and the brush re moved before it is time to start spraying or cultivating.It is suggested that apples be pruned first and peaches toward the end of the dormant season, since there is more danger of winter kill­ing of peach buds than apple buds. Many fruit growers prefer to wail until some of the most severe wintei weather is over before pruning theii bearing peach trees.This practice makes it possible to consider the amount of bud killing ' when cutting back or thinning out branches on which there are fruit buds. For example, fruit bud in­jury may be quite severe through­ out the lower.portion of the trees and Ught enough in the tops to in­ sure at least a partial, crop if the trees are not cut back too hard. Bud injury may also be more, severe on some varieties than on others, thereby making some modification of the pruning practice -desirable.In general, however, the commer­ cial fruit grower finds it necessary to start pruning early in the dor­ mant season and to continue during the entire winter • in order to com; plete the work in time to be ready for the early spring spraying oper­ ations. T StolenHorseSayingIs Applied to Oats Yields ■ Theparable of the farmer who waited until his. horse was stolen before locking the barn applies to­ day in the loss', of soil through ero­ sion..At the Guthrie, Okla., experiment station of the Soil Conservation serv­ ice two equal-sized fields* one eroded and the other virgin grass land, were sown to oats. The virgin land yielded more than 40 bushels to the acre while'the soil-wasted field pro­duced U bushels. Losing oats, a prime horse feed, is in • way equiv­alent to losing horses. The differ­ ence of 29 bushels is enough for the uinial work horse ration.for more than 100 day*.The eroded land had been in culti­ vation about 30 years, and contin­ ued cropping accounts for some ol the difference in yield. But erosion was largely to blame for the wast­ ing of the fertility of . the field. H oats were selling at 40 cents a bush­el, the difference in returns from the two one-acre fields would amount to $11.60. Furthermore, the cost of ter­ racing badly eroded land on the Guthrie project was more than three times as great as on newly broken land. These facts, according to the Soil Consiervation service, show it pays to start saving soil} on newly cleared land rather than, wait until washing waiters have carried away most of the. good soil which had developed through the years.

It is against the law to fish for anv kind of fish in any of the inlard waters of the state from April 1st. until May 10th. Please do not-fi h for any kind of fish until after - May 10th.

In a letter to James Fort Forsyth, editor and publisher of the North Muskegon, MiCh., News, in April, 1935,. be wrote: “ The readers of the smaller newspapers scattered all over the United States, form the most im­ portant body of thinking Ameri cans in this country. The readers of the smaller newspapers have time to think. They have neigh bors whom they know intimately, with whom they discuss public matters They know that the sky, the stars, the moon, the green fields, the changing seasons, arc realities. They actually see them. You can­ not say that for many dwellings in great cities “The editors of the smaller news­ papers constitute a national intel- newspaper, has taken the place of the ancient public square. On those editorial pages, Americans are in­ formed. warned,' protected. The national welfare demands the im portant and influential in pre wel­ fare of a great number of smaller newspapers, infinitely more portion to circulation than the great me­ tropolitan dailies. “I need not 'tell you that I have no selfish interest in any news­ paper. through ownership or other lectual police force that keeps a majority of the 130,000,000 Ameri- csns informed as to public hap­ penings. .. , "It was said in" GreeceJong ago that no country Could retain its liberty if it grew so big that the population could not gather in the public square and bear the states­ men making their reports direct to the people.

Clearer every day grows the meaning of the sit down strike, the new imported French weapon of the labor union racketeer. Are there any of us farmer who do not yet understand it? ' At harvest time you have three hired helpers among them astrang er in the neighborhood. As the year’s yield fills your barns and cribs and stacks, one fine morning the stranger is missing. You find him sitting idly in the barn among your livestock. As yon stick your bead in the door he comes forward threateningly- "Get out,” he says. “Youcan’t come in here. I’m on strike.” "I can’t come in my own barn?” you ask. ‘‘I’ll see about that.” ‘‘Don’t try it,” he says. "You have some valuable cows and horses here, and a good born. You wouldn’t want them damaged, would you, just because you forced yourself in where I don’t want you?” You ask: "What’s the big idea?” "I’m on strike,” he says. "I don’t take orders from‘you but from my boss, who is James J. So- and-so in New York. He appoint ed me bargaining agent for your farm hands, and as soon as you de­ cide to listen to reason I will tell you how much more you have to pay us hereafter and bow long we are going to work.” "This is still America,” you say. You have no rights in my barn. You can’t speak for the other men unless they want you to, and they don’t even know you".' ' They wan’t to work.” ’•What’s that got to do with it? I’m in the barn. Let’s see you get me out.” Well, there you are. What would you do?

One senator has compared the evils of the sit down strike to the practice .of boycott, with which an earlier generation battled. The boycott was another one of those European ideas, having originated in Ireland. In tie United States the labor unions backed up boy­ cotting, and from that resorted to black-listing, intimidations an d other methods of forcing tbelr de mands on employers. Twenty five years ago the epidemic was as mnch of a puzzle as the sit down strikes of today. The fining of 241 mem bers of the Hatters union of Con­ necticut in the sum of $222,000 put the “kibosh” on further boycotts. Courtdecisionswere uot laugh­ ed off in 1910 as they are in 1937; The American Federation of La. bor calls the sit-downers' ’anarchy,” but the Committee on Industrial Organization is still able to arrange one of those disturbances on short notice. While Washington washes its hands, court orders fail in their purposes on account of .lack of en­ forcement by state, county and municipal authorities. AU this appears to indicate that the sit down strikes, like' the old- time boycotts, will continue to up­ set normal conditions and orderly methods that might otherwise be arranged -between !employers and employees I: .

Allison announced here that plans were underway for the construction on the Davidson college campus of a $10,000 cbapel in which would be preserved the relics of Peter Stuart Ney. Allison, local manufacturer and a student of Nev history, has expres­ sed the belief with other commen- tatorsthat Peter Stuart Nev, the North Carolina school teacher who was burled near Statesville, was ac­ tually Marshall Michael Ney, Napoleon Bonaparte’s "bravest of the brave” who, historians say, died before a firing squad in France. Dr. Walter L Lingle, president of Davidson, said that the college would be "very grateful” to have such a shrine. Allison said original plans called for the construction of a monument at Third Creek Presbyterian church in Rowan county, site of PettT Stuart Ney’s grave, but that now ii was considered more appropriate that the cbapel be erected on the campus ot Davidson college, with which Peter Ney was prominently identified. Heexplained '.hat plans called for the building to be placed on a con spicious spot and that it would he of plate glass, on the design of which architects were working.

Sad, indeed, is the way in which the political spoils system hampers the efficient operation ot ordinary processes of government. Witness, for example, the grief which has descended upon the once sturdy Irish shonldersof Martin L. O’Don- oell, sheriff of Cuyahoga county, Ohio. Sheriff O’Donnell was eleeted last -fall in the Roosevelt landslide, and lock his oath in January. Since the minute he solemnly affirmed to uphold the duties of the office a veritable swarm of loyal party workers have been besieging him for jobs. Every dawn sees the formation of a long line outside the office winding throuph until night­ fall. Now the strain has proved too much for the sheriff and he has taken a temporary vacation—to re­ cuperate from the strain of hand, ling the unending steam of party backs who consider themselves en­ titled to jobs. This seems to be a forceful argu. ment for civil service reform.— Winston Sentinel, M o th e r S u rp ris e d . Shawnee, Okla. —Mrs. 3. A.

Al­ ready there is talk in Congressional circles about prohibiting the ship­ ment of scrap metal from this coun­ try to foreign nations—especially foreign nations which might explode like a fire cracker that means War at some future date. Tbere is some­ thing wrong with the whole picture as we see it. Seems that rates would be such that it would be cheaper by far to ship scrap metal to domestic foundries instead of munition makes in foreign lands.

The tremendous importance of the railroads to the other industries of the nation is illustrated by statis­ tics detailing their buying during 1936. In that year they spent more than $534000.000 for materials and supplies more than $192,000,- 000 for new locomotives and cars, and over $255 000.000 for coal and fuel oil. Their direct purchases thus totaled almost a billion dol­ lars—$982,204,000, to be exact A list of the industries that share in the fruits of this almost incon ceivable private spending would fill many a page. The railroads use about 70.000 separate commodities. They are among the best customers 01 all the commodity industries— textiles, metal, coal-as well . as manufacturing industries. - Thub, their influence on employment con­ ditions can hardly be exaggerated. Directly in norma! times, they are the largest single employer in the nation—and indirectly,' they pro­ vide employment for untold thous­ ands of workers in the industries they patronize. It can be said vithout equivocation that iew sin­ gle factors can be more beneficial to the well being of the nation than a prosperous industry. Tbey are the backbone of commerce—with­ out the service they perform with such amazing efficiency and celerity, business would virtually come to a stop. They are creato s of pur­ chasing power, income and'wealth, l'bey are tremendous taxpayers - notably to county and state gov­ ernments, and it bas b en shown hat this money pays the overhead of a remarkably large proportion of the nation's schools. Their salu­ tary social and economic influence is felt in the most remote hamlet, and in every business. In brief, the cold facts definitely show that prosperity for the rail- toads—assured and continued, un­ dampened by adverse legislative tendencies— would constitute a great advance toward the goal of prosperity for ns all. T h e C a v a lc a d e O f D e a th . When in the boom year of 1929 the traffic death toll reached the new and awful high of 30,000 deaths, the nation was shocked—but not scf~ ficiently. Now, with business indices rising steadily, we seem to be em­ barking on a new boom year in acci­ dents. And there is a danger that traffic deaths in 1937 will reach the 40.000 mark Where will this cavalcade of death halt? When will we turn it back? Surely the American people are ade­ quate to cope with this social , emer­ gency. Herewehavetheautomobile endowing us with the manifold bles­ sings of a motor age. Why don’t we control it, and retain the blessings, rather than dissipate them in death, injury and destruction? Tbe great irony is that whiie some people shrug their shoulders, or sbud • derand say, “Nothing can be done about it,” others are doing something about it, and doing it very well. It is a matter of record that the cities and towns that are pursuing positive planned and permanent policies of routing out the fundamental causes of their traffic .accident problems, are reducing accidents ,and chopping away congestion.; Itisa matter of record that despire the unprecedent­ ed number of deaths in 1936.19 states reduced their traffic fatality records on an average of 7 per cent.AU but two of these states carried out posi­ tive traffic control programs.

N e w s R e v i e w o f C u r r e n t E v e n t s t h e W o r l d O v e r Senate Condemns Sitdown Strike but Spares President— Henry Ford Defies Lewis—Governor Benson Incurs Censure of Minnesota Senate. By EDWARD W. PICKARD & Western Newspaper Union. TN ORDER to get the GuSer coal * control bill through the senate without an amendment condemning Oie sitdown strike, Majority Leader Joe Robinson prom­ ised to permit con­ sideration of a reso­lution carrying sim­ilar condemnation, but when it was pre­ sented and adopted, by a vote of 75 to 3, it was not a joint resolution, which would require the signature of the President. That was what Senator Mc- Nary and others wanted, but Robinson said it must be concurrent, because he would not put Mr. Roosevelt in the posi­ tion of having to indicate his posi­ tion on the sitdown strike by either signing or vetoing the measure. Besides declaring the sitdown strike “illegal and contrary to sound public policy” the resolution as adopted took a double slap at the employers by also declaring: “That the so-called industrial spy system breeds fear, suspicion and animosity, tends to cause strikes and industrial warfare and is con­ trary to sound public policy; and “That it is: likewise contrary to sound public policy for any em­ ployer to deny the right of collec­ tive bargaining, to foster the com­ pany union or to engage in any other unfair labor practice as de­ fined in the national labor relations act” SenJtobinson Gov. Benson HENRY FORD returned from Detroit to his winter residence at Ways, Ga., and there announced that the Ford Motor company “nev­ er will recognize” the United Auto­mobile Workers of America or any other union. “We’ll deal with in­dividual workers,” he said. Ford said that any of his men who struck would be “led out” of the particular plant with regrets “be­cause we know the men are simply being duped and coerced by the strike leaders.” “We won’t hold any grudge against them and will be willing to hite them back,” he added. He said public officials were charged with protecting citizens from such disorders as sitdown strikes. “Those who seize property not their own are in the same category as housebreakers,” Ford said. John L. Lewis in reply told a union meeting in Detroit that he had no doubt Ford will continue to deal with individual employees "as long as his employees permit him to fol­low that policy and no longer.” And the C. I. O. chief added ominously: “I have no doubt Henry Ford will change his mind on this subject.” The strike in the Ford plant in Kansas City came to an end and the members of the United Auto­ mobile Workers were boasting of gaining a victory over the imper­ turbable Henry. But the advantage they won was slight and temporary, and the battle with Ford is yet to pe fought. The thirty-day strike of the Chrys­ ler company employees came to an end when W. P. Chrysler and John I,ewis reached an agreement under persuasion of Governor Murphy. The company agreed to recognize the U. A. W. A. as the bargaining agency for its members, and the union pledged that it would call no sitdown strikes nor permit its mem­bers to engage in any in Chrysler plants for the duration of the com­pact, which extends to March 3, 1933. The strike of Reo company men was settled on approximately the same terms, and Governor Murphy then turned his attention to the Hud­son company strike. The C. I. O. invaded Canada by calling out 3,700 workers in the plants of the General Motors com­pany of Canada at Oshawa, Ont. But it was the old-fashioned Idnd of strike, with picketing, and the union pledged there would be no violence. 'T ' HREE hundred sitdown strikers d at the plant of the Hershey Chocolate corporation at Hershey, Pa., were overwhelmed and driven out by a mob of thousands of irate farmers and loyal workers of the company. The farmers were en­ raged because the strike had cut OS their market for $10,000 .worth of milk daily. They and the non­ strikers were armed with clubs and bricks and the strikers were treated roughly. Gov. George H. Earle of Pennsyl­ vania ordered an investigation and declared formally: “The - bloodshed at the Hershey plant was a disgrace to the com-: monwealth. The blame lies direct­ly on the sheriff of the county, who said he did not need the assistance- of the state police to maintain or­ der. Precedent decrees that local authorities must ask the state’s as­sistance before it intervenes. “The state police will not.be used to suppress union labor. Neither are they interested in the sitdown proh- Iem.' They will prevent mob rule. Apparently the sheriff was not an unbiased law enforcement officer in this case.” A/IOVING back again to the West, i J we find Elmer A. Benson, Farmer-Labor governor of Minne­ sota, involved in labor troubles that might conceivably result in his im­peachment. About 200 members of the “people’s lobby” staged a sitdown in the senate chamber at St. Paul for the purpose of enforc­ ing their demands for imniediate ac­ tion on the gover­ nor's relief plan. Benson bad previ­ ously spoken to the crowd, telling them “it is all right to be a little rough once in a while” in dealing with the legislature, and the lawmakers were exceedingly re­ sentful. The governor, after one day and night, persuaded the dem­ onstrators to leave, telling them they had done a good job. On regaining possession of its chamber, the senate put through a resolution condemning the gover­nor for "inciting people to riot” and failing to perform his lawful duties to “quell and quiet the mob.” While there was no serious talk of impeachment, the report was current that the senate resolution was drafted deliberately as a pos­ sible basis for such action. BITUMINOUS coal miners were on strike only one day, for the new wage scale, providing an $85,- 000,000 increase of pay for the 400,- 000 men, was signed by representa­ tives of the operators and the United Mine Workers of America. Of course the consumer will have to pay for this wage boost. Charles O’Neill, president of the United Eastern Coal Sales corporation and chairman of the operators’ delega­tion at the conference, said the cost of bituminous coal at the mine would go up at least 25 cents a ton. The miners won a raise of 50 cents a day, but lost their demand for a 30-hour week. The 35-hour week, or 7 hours a day and 5 days a week, which was in effect under the old contract, will remain. Also the men failed to get two weeks* vacation with pay and a guaranty of 200 days of work a year. THERE is going to be a lively three-cornered struggle in the southwestern oil fields. The C. I. O., whose plans in that direction were mentioned in this column not long ago, has begun the campaign to or­ ganize the workers in the Texas field. Harvey C. Fremming of Washington, president of the Inter­ national Association of Oil Field, Gas Well and Refinery Workers and close friend of John Lewis, is in charge of the operations. A rival movement for members and pres­ tige will be started in a few days by the A. F. of L. Gov. James V. Allred of Texas has given notice that he will use “every resource” against sit-down strikes, which he declares are un­lawful and un-American. He added: "My investigation convinces me chat sit-down strike organizers have mvaded Texas. Sit-down methods do not represent the desires of an overwhelming majority of organized labor in this state,” T RANS-ATLANTIC air service -*■ between the United States and Great Britain may be expected to start almost immediately, for the last obstacle in its way was re­moved by an agreement with Can­ ada concerning routes through the Dominion. Assistant Secretary of Commerce J. Monroe Johnson announced that two routes through Canada had been made. available for trans-Atlantic flying craft that will make a total of four trips a week. One route is by way of Shediac, N. B., and the other through Montreal. The hop- off point for eastward flights over the ocean would be from Bottwood, N. F:, which also would be landfall on the westward flights. Johnson said that under the agree­ment British and United States. planes would make two crossings apiece weekly. CENATOR JAMES HAMILTON ^ IJRVIS of Illinois told the senate that he believes the time has come for President Roosevelt to call an international peace conference that would revise the treaty of Ver­sailles. He said the object of the con­ ference would be to reach a “new disposition that might content the nations that are now in revolt and which continue in conflict because of the affront and injury they feel was worked upon them under the terms of the treaty.” The senator asserted the popular­ity of Mr. Roosevelt abroad would lend much to the success of such aconference. Irvin S. Cobb n n i o M > ^ h m h d a h o u t The Origin of Sitdowns. SANTA MONICA, CALIF. — With the Baroum show there once was an elderly lady ele­ phant named Helen. Now, Helen had wearied of traipsing to and fro in the land. . Probably she figured she’d seen everything anyhow. So each fall, when the season ended, she went rejoicing back home to Bridgeport,Conn. Nobody ever knew the date of depar­ ture the next spring. There was no more bustle about winter- quarters on that morning than for weeks past. But always, when the handlers en­ tered the “bull barn” to lead forth the herd, they found Helen hun­kered down on her voluminous haunches, which, under that vast weight, spread out like cake batter on a hot griddle. She would be uttering shrill sobs of defiance. And neither prodding nor honeyed words could budge her.So they’d wrap chains around her and two of her mates would hitch on and drag her bodily, she still on her rubbery flanks, aboard a wait­ ing car. She’d quit weeping then and wipe her snout and accept what fate sent her. So please don’t come telling me that the sit-down strike is a new notion or that somebody in Europe first thought it up. Thirty years ago I saw my lady elephant friend, Hel­ en, putting on one, all by her four- ton self.« « » Taxes and' More Taxes. JUST when everybody is taking comfort from the yodelled prom­ ises of that happy optimist. Chair­man Harrison of the senate finance committee, that the government will be able to get by for 1937 with­ out asking this congress to boost taxes, what happens?Why, in a most annoying way, Governor Eccles of the federal re­serve board keeps proclaiming that, to make treasury receipts come anywhere near meeting treasury disbursements throughout the year, he’s afraid it’s going to be neces­ sary to raise the rates on incomes and profits higher than ever.And meanwhile state governors and civic authorities scream with agony at the bare prospect of any reductions to Uncle Sam’s allot­ ments for local projects.A balanced budget would seem to be like Santa Claus, something everybody talks about but nobody ever expects to see.* * * Self-Determination.

Still, one wonders what English­men would do under like circum­ stances, stoce'Englishmen are fussy about their inheritance of self-de­ termination. Perhaps the distinc­ tion is this: In democracies there exists the false theory that all men are bom free anj equal. So the Englishman insists on having his freedom, which is a concrete thing, and laughs at the idea of equality. Whereas, the American abandons his individual freedom provided he may ding to the fetish of equality.Yankee tweedledee and British tweedledum may be brothers under the skin, but they have different skin diseases.• * * The Parole Racket. IT IS astonishing but seemingly true that, of five young gang­ sters recently caught red-handed to a criminal operation, not a single one was a convict out on parole. Is there no way to bar rank amateurs from a profession calling for prior experience and proper background? And can'it be that the various pa­ role boards over the union are not turning loose qualified practitioners fast enough to keep up with the de­ mand? Maybe we need self-open­ing jails. Those sentimentalists who abhor the idea that a chronic offender be required to serve out his latest sen­tence should take steps right away to correct this thing before it goes too far. Our parole system must be vindicated if it costs the Uves and property of ten times as many innocent citizens as at present. IRVIN S. COBB.®—WNU Service. Festival Bills Elephant FightElephant tug-of-wars, to witiph the beasts locked tusks and some-, times struggled for hours, were a ' feature of a festival recently held near Calcutta, India. National Topics Interpreted by Williailn Bcuckart Natlonat Proas BniIdInx Waahlnston, D. C. Washington.—Senator McKellar1 Tennessee Democrat, arose in the senate recently toStttyLaw offer a bill that Doom ed would repeal aprovision of law prohibiting the employment of both man and wife by the government. It has been to effect since the sum­ mer of 1933. The provision ought to be and probably will be repealed because, as far as I can see, there is actually no sense in the national government refusing to employ ef­ ficient workers because a man’s wife or a woman’s husband al­ ready is on the federal pay roll. It was not the importance of this particular repeal proposal, how­ ever, that interested me. Senator McKellar’s action was significant and interesting only because when repeal of the so-called marriage clause and federal law was pro­ posed, it marked the beginning of the end of one of the most abortive pieces of legislation that has been on our statute books. I refer to the so- called economy act of 1933. I cannot refrain from recalling a prediction that I made when the economy act was before congress in 1933. It was introduced and sup­ ported by the New Deal legislature to an effort to carry out a cam­paign promise made when Presi­ dent Roosevelt was running for of­ fice in 1932. You will remember that he promised to reduce the cost of government twenty-five per cent, saying in many speeches that the cost of government was too high and that a reduction to taxes was necessary. It will be recalled like­ wise how he said that "Taxes come from the sweat of every man who labors.” Well, the economy act was driven through, despite declaration from many senators and many represen­ tatives that it was impossible to mutilate the structure of govern­ ment as proposed in that bill and StUl have a government that would function properly. And here were some of the most ridiculous provi­sions to that legislation to come be­ fore congress fa many years: They worked injustices on veterans of the World war, on farmers, on retired government workers, on the army and navy and marine corps, and hamstrung and handicapped gov­ ernment agencies to a manner I had not seen to my long experience as an observer of national affairs.It was on that occasion that I made the prediction' mentioned above, and to which I caU atten­tion because of the McKellar pro­ posal for repeal of the marriage clause. I wrote at that time my definite conviction that the economy law was silly; that it would work hardships and that its basis was ninety per cent politics. I predict­ed further that within a year the politicians in the house and senate who had shouted so loudly about economy would begin to chisel va­ rious provisions out of that law. Each of those things has happened and now we see the end.The end of the law has come but not the end of its effects. Prac­ tices to federal government admin­istration that had been operating satisfactorily a n d efficiently throughout the years were thrown into the discard and new ideas sub­ stituted. The discarded methods were the development of experience and were serving the purposes for which they were intended. Some of them have been restored and are again functioning as they should but one can wander around through the, maze of government corridors and' find attempts still being made to make schemes work that are un­ sound to practice, schemes from the minds of theorists. It will be a number of years before the effects of the economy act will be obliter­ ated.• * * As the chiseling began and the economy act fell to pieces under ,. sounder thinking.Spending there was Orgy launched thegreatest spending orgy any nation ever witnessed. It has continued with unabated pecu­liarity and is still continuing not­ withstanding the fact that within the last few weeks we have heard statements from administration sources to the effect that adminis­tration expenditures will be cut. The fact is they have not been cut.But the average .person outside of Washington sees and hears only things related to.large totals of gov­ernment spending such as relief for the destitute and vast programs of public building. They do not hear nor do they see what is going on among agencies of the government that relate to comparatively small items of money outgo. It is these small items, when taken together, that bulk so large even though by Comparison with relief the total ap­pears insignificant. I am going to call attention to just one item, a small item as govern­ ment expenses go, about which I suspect most persons1 who do me the honor to read these articles have had little information. They have had little information because thejr. are in a position to see only isolated examples. I refer to gov­ernment publications. Representative Taber of New York called attention to the condi­ tion respecting government publi­cations recently when the house ap­ propriations committee was holding hearings on a bill appropriating funds for several government de­ partments. Mr. Taber estimated that gov­ernment publications were posting in the neighborhood of twenty-mil­ lion-dollars a year. He called them administration propaganda. “Every organization in the gov­ ernment,” Mr. Taber declared, “is sending out all sorts of propagan­ da, propaganda in fancy colors, pamphlets with pictures of resettle­ ment projects, pictures of WPA propositions and all that sort of thing.” It was the first estimate I had been able to obtain of the cost of government publications for it is not easy to ascertain how much these beautifully done magazines cost each department or agency. Nor is it easy to determine how much is paid for the distribution of the countless thousands of state­ments issued for the press or mailed to millions of copies to voters. The whole thing constitutes a maze that is so complex that it is staggering. The government printing office lists 73 periodicals of the magazine type for which it will take subscriptions or sell individual copies. These, of course, are printed documents. They do not include the many pamphlets that are mimeographed or published otherwise by governmental agencies.« . . I mentioned the distribution of of­ficial statements for the press and m . , , to voters through- W etghtng out the country. th e C ott There is no way;as far as I can see, to calculate the total, but one Washington correspondent recently took occasion to weigh the output of press statements from the De­partment of Agriculture for one week. His curiosity had been aroused by the tremendous volume that had been delivered to his of­fice—both by mail and by special messenger—and so he weighed the week’s grist. It totaled more than three and one-half pounds. This, as I said, was from only one depart­ ment and the weight was the weight of the paper alone. One need not employ a great deal of imagination to think of the cost involved. First there was the pa­ per itself. In the second place there was the cost of typing the material and then of mimeographing it. But before it reached either one of these stages, it was necessary that a vast amount of work be done by well paid men and women writers and research workers who prepared the material that was used whether in mimeographing or to printing. . There are two publications that come to my desk regularly that strike me as being extraordi­ narily expensive. The "Consumers’ Guide,” a product of the Agricul­ture Adjustment administration and the “Electrification News,” pub­lished by the Rural Electrification administration, are the two most ex­ pensive and most elaborate periodi­cals that I regularly see. . They are sent out free not only to the Wash­ington correspondents but to thou­ sands upon thousands of voters— to any voter whose name either agency obtains. And they are paid for out of taxpayers’ money. . Typographically, each of these pe­ riodicals is exceptionally well done from a magazine standpoint. They are replete with pictures, and cop­per engraving is expensive. And so it is throughout the gov­ernment. Everywhere a correspond­ ent goes among government offices he meets “federal workers,” among the government personnel, engaged: to preparing and distributing the government's stories for public reading.* * * Now, let me touch on.another phase of the cost of government _ ,. publications. I re-Franhm g Jer to the use of Afruse the franking privi­lege. As everyone knows, government mail goes through the United States mails without the payment of postage. That does not mean, however, that the railroads or the airplanes or the steamships haul that mail free. The only difference between that mail and the letters you write or receive is that the government pays the transportation lines on a-pound basis and no stamps are used: It is bulk transportation whereas when you and I . mail letters we pay the cost of transportation on those let­ ters to the government by means of a postage stamp. .. It is entirely proper and reason­able that government mail 'should not require postage stamps. It would simply be taking, government money out-of one pocket and put-' ting it to another. Yet, to the end, you and I, as taxpayers, pay for the transportation of tha government mail and'we pay ,for the millions' of pieces that', are sent out from the various government departments.d Weatera Newspaper Unioak M y rT avolL it* W g g Helen Twelvelroes Creamed Eggs Wlfli CMU and BiceTo two cupfuls of well-seasone _ medium white sauce add one tea- 1 spoonful chili powder and six ! hard-cooked eggs, cut in quarters.!

S★**Bjr VIRGINIA V A L B *** APICTURE that will endear itself to every dog lover in the world and every humani­ tarian, based on that heart­ warming institution known as “The Seeing Eye,” is planned by Warner Brothers. As you probably know, “The Seeing Eye” is a school at Morristown, N. J., supported by public sub­ scription which trains police dogs to lead blind men. Started soon after the war by a- Mrs. Eustis who had seen what won­ derful work was done -in Switzer­ land by giving blind men dog com­ panions, “The Seeing Eye” has trained hundreds of dogs, who have completely changed the lives of their formerly • helpless masters. The dogs lead their men through traffic tangles with perfect safety— but better even than that, provide understanding companionship. Far away in Boston making per­ sonal appearances, the Ritz Broth* ers heard that the Twentieth Century- Foz studio planned to separate them, putting brother Jim into “Last Year’s Kisses” with Alice Faye, Tony Martin, Don Ameche and others. They com­plained by tele­ gram, they howled over long-distance telephone, they ob­jected with such embittered frenzy that the studio had to give in. All three Ritz Broth­ ers will appear in the picture. The appearance of Alice Faye with the boys should add to the fun of the picture. Gertrude Niesen’s first song num­ber in "Top of the Town” is “Where Are Ton,” her lucky number. Jimmy McHugh and Harold -Adamson wrote it for her three years ago, to use when auditioning for a big com­ mercial radio program. She got the job. Last fall while in Hollywood for a .vacation after a strenuous stretch on the radio, she sang it at a party and was immediately of­fered a screen contract by produc­ ers present. —■¥— While producers of “Gone With the Wind” are still arguing over who should play the leading roles, Paramount is stealing a march on them. They have bought a story called “Gettysburg” which has the same setting and similar characters and are putting it into production at once.—•*_ As a fitting salute to Spring, War­ ner Brothers have released “The Emg and the Chorus Girl” and Unit­ ed Artists have put out “History Is Made kt Night.” They are both giddy and romantic and have set everyone to arguing over who is the greater matinee idol, Fernand Gravet or Charles Boyer. They are both grand romantic heroes. “The King and the Chorus Girl” is some­ thing of a nine-days wonder because it is a Warner Brothers musical without a big production number to interrupt the gaiety. And “History Is Made at Night” is completely baffling because it mixes spectacu­ lar scenes and grim tragedy with farcical situations. Talent scouts from the motion- picture studios are suspected of do­ing their hunting nowadays in nurser­ies, for suddenly all Hollywood is in a dither over child prodigies. ’ If you heard Betty Jaynes, the fifteen-year-old opera star on Bing .Crosby’s program a few, weeks ago, just , before she started work for Metro- Goldwyn - Ma y e r, you njay have mar­ veled at her talent. She is prac­ tically middle-aged, though, com­pared to their newest discovery, for the new contract player is Suzanne Larson, aged ten, who will be fea­ tured in a musical, “B Above High C” which gives you an idea of her voice range. _ -K - ODDS AND ENDS . . .

Bing Crosby “ S a y I t ” W i t h F r i l l y , L a c y N e c k w e a r B y C H E R IE N IC H O L A S & m YES, indeed, fashion is in an ut­terly feminine romancing mood this spring. Hats gay with ribbons and flowers and laces, suits pretti­ fied with the daintiest frilliest lin­ gerie blouses worn for years, dresses of prints so flowery and mul­ti-colorful as to dazzle the eye and that which is a sure sign of the re­turn of romanticism in the mode— the revival of the laciest, the dain­ tiest, the most adorable fiuffy-ruffle neckwear and dainty snowy lingerie touches that even the wildest flights' of one’s imagination might ere de­ vise. And now that we know that frilly, ultra-feminine neckline and wrist- line fantasies are going to be the very thing let’s look up some of the entrancing things which shops are showing this season. The group pic­ tured is typical of the many charm­ ing, flattering jabots, collar-and-cuS sets and “bibs” that smart women are wearing to give an extra spring­ like touch to their tailored silk and their sheer wool dresses. In the first place there’s nothing smarter than finely pleated laces for neckwear. The good-looking col­ lar and cuff set that gives so keen a fashion touch to the simple crepe frock worn by the young woman standing below to the left in the picture is of a rather heavy lace in a dark shade of ecru. The V- shaped collar, is extremely flattering and together with its wide cuffs makes a “picture.” With this lace three-piece you can give infinite variety to a winter-weary wardrobe or it will enhance your newest frock to a glamorous degree. See to the right above in the group Claudette Colbert wearing a stun­ ning collar made of an interesting silk-drawn novelty lace fluted row upon row as you see. This actress favors a combination , of the collar in Peter Pan effect, the jabot at the front and a tiny bow of dark plain material to match her lovely dress. An entirely different type of lacy neckwear is the “bib” or yoke effect pictured left above. It is one of those exquisitely fine and beauti­ful accessories that you can wear with your very best gown in most ladylike fashion. The lace is a choice Alencon type with insets of hand-embroidered batiste as del­ icately sheer as chiffon. The lace is cut in a square with a circular lace ruffle at . the top and- another ruffle following the square outline of the bib. Above to the right lavish embroid­ery edged with dainty val lace adds charm to a band collar with its tiered ruffles of permanent Swiss or­gandie beautifully flower-embroid- ered. Fine as a cobweb, this im­ ported organdie is decidedly prac­tical in spite of its fragile look. Bows, too, are going to be worn a lot this season. In fact snowy, lacy lingerie accents are register­ ing for a tremendous vogue, be they collars, cuffs, dainty gilets with waistcoat belts that button around the waist, “bibs,” jabots or any ac­cessory item made of lace, of Swiss organdie, of washable mousseline de soie or of any delicate sheer and these will carry a wealth of em­broidery or hand stitchery in many instances. The new bows now show­ ing in endless variety are cunning on tailored dresses. If they are not of mousseline or organdie with lace edgings then they are apt to be entirely of heavy laces like Cluny or Irish.© Western Newspaper Union. SMART F^R SPRING Br CHEBlB NICHOLAS Capes, capes anamore capes, thus does the parade of spring suits an­nounce a vogue of tremendous im­ portance this season. Even if you buy a jacket and skirt suit you are supposed to buy a stylish smartly tailored wool cape to wear over it. The new ensembles are that way— skirt, plus jacket, plus cape. The one-shown here is of a stunning black wool fabric for skirt and cape with jacket of black and white loose­ ly woven worsted. The scarf is coral colored. SAILOR HATS AND TURBANS IN STYLE By CHERIE NICHOLAS Where there’s new fashions there’s always new thrills. Just about the most exciting thrills registering on the new season’s program are the “nifty” little sailor hats and tur­ bans that are made of bizarre plaid or stripe crepes or taffeta silk. These are the sort that the moment you see them you make up your mind in a flash that your happiness depends on acquiring just such a chapeau. The sailors are covered as smooth as glass with the striped silk (or the plaid) with perhaps a little whirligig of ribbon for a finish or a rakish wee feather; and then as if that is r.ot enough to entice you, more than likely a matching scarf adds to the allure, or if not a scarf, one of the new romantic gypsy sashes that ties so nonchalantly about waistlines these days. Cast your plainest dark crepe frock un­ der the witchery of these plaid or striped silk accessories and it will take on untold glory and glamor.

TEXT—By faith, Abraham, when he was called to go out Into a place which be should after receive for an. In* beritance, obeyed. Hebrews 11:8.PRIMARY TOPIC—A Friend of God.JUNIOR TOPIC—A Hebrew Pioneer.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Adventurous -Faith.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Creative Faith. One of the greatest characters in all human, history comes before us today in the person of Abraham. He is venerated by Christian, Jew, and Mohammedan alike. His per­sonal history is replete wit!, inter­ est. and instruction. But his claim to an outstanding place in history is broader than any of these things, for he .was the one by whom God called out a nation for himself and began his dealings, in sovereign grace which continue to our day. In choosing Abraham God began the history of the Jewish people, his chosen nation. They were called by him to be not only a national witness to. the one true God, but also to be the repository for his truth (the Holy Scriptures) in the earth, ■ and, above all, to be the channel for the coming of the Re­deemer to the earth. Our lesson, however, centers on the faith of Abraham. As the Gold­en Text (Heb. 11:8) indicates, .it was by faith that Abraham responded to the call of God. That call came to him in his father’s house in Meso­ potamia (Acts 7:2, 3). His partial obedience brought delay at Haran (Gen. 11:31), and wasted years, but in Genesis 12 we find his complete obedience and resultant blessing. The study of faith is always fas­ cinating. Faith is the thing in man that pleases God. He is quick to honor our trust in Him. Unbelief shuts the door not only to blessing, but also to usefulness. I. Faith Calls for Separation, Obe­ dience, and Worship.1. Separation (Gen. 12:1). "Get thee out” was God’s command to Abraham. It is his command to his followers today. “Come out from, among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord” (II Cor. 6:17). This is the crying need of the church in our day. Instead of the church’s being in the world seeking to win it for Christ, the world has come into the church and destroyed much of its vital testimony.2. Obedience (Gen. 12:4,5). “So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken.” Faith obeys'God, without question, without hesitation, and without reservation. We need a re­ vival of obedience in the home, in society, and in our relation to God. 3. Worship (Gen. 12:7, 13-18). "There builded he an altar unto the Lord.” Faith in God is far more than the psychologist’s preachment of self-confidence. It results in fellowship with God, re­ liance upon him, not on one’s own strength of personality. Faith wor­ ships God. n. Faith Results in Blessing, Pro­tection, and Liberty. 1. Blessing (12:2,3). “I will bless,” said God. “The Lord’s commands are rarely accompanied with rea­ sons; but they are always accom­ panied with promises, either ex­pressed or understood.” In the case of Abraham the prom­ise was not only to him, and to the nation of which he was the father, but to “all families of the earth." That promise was fulfilled in the coming of Christ to earth to be our Redeemer (Matt. 1:1). 2. Protection (12:3). "I will. . . curse him that curseth thee.” That promise to the seed of Abraham is still true. The nations haye forgotten it in their hatred of the Jew, but God has not forgotten. The promise is equally true in the case of those who follow Christ, “the son of Abraham.” His protecting hand is ,over us even in the dark hour when it looks as though the hosts of Satan had conquered.3. Liberty (13:14-17). “AU the land. . . will I give.” After many and varied experiences in which Ab­raham proves God’s grace and pow­ er, he comes out into a place of unlimited liberty. The man who boasts of his "per­sonal liberty,” who feels that he is free from the “bondage of religion,” is in fact a slave to the enemy of his soul. And the man who becomes “the bondslave of Jesus Christ,” he. alone is free. None is more fet­ tered than he who shouts “I am the captain of my fate. I am the master of my soul.” And none is so free as he who can say, “Christ is the Captain of my fate, the Master of my soul.” Deciding What Not to Do Men must decide on what they will not do, and then they are able to act with vigor in what they ought to do.—Mencius. God’s Way God can act where we cannot even think, out of resources that we know nothing about. Strength of Character 'He who is firm arid resolute In will moulds the world to himself. —Goethe.

She will be a hustling town some day—but not until some of her population die, or are run out of the town.” To all of which we say amen.____ A citizen of the town told us one day recently that he would probably be taking our paper now bad we not talked so much about a certain mail order house. Any man who thinks more of a foreign mail order con­ cern than they do ot their own town and county ought not to take their home paper—it wouldn’t agree with them if they did. Seems that it will not be necessary for Mocksville to go to the expense of holding a town election next month.

Now it seems that the New Dealers are ask­ ing all the, school children in the grammar grades, to donate the books that they bad to buy last year, to the state. The Winston Journal doesn’t think much of this plan, neither does The Record. The staie has thrown away enough money in useless offices, high sala­ ries and retiring office holders on pensions, to pay tor all the books necessary. We see no reason why the parents should donate all their children’s books to a state that ex pends nearly a hundred million dot* Iars per year for operating expenses.

Let us talk things over quietly—decide what is best to be done.” Best to be done? What wrs best to be done? . "It’s so late—where will you go? Get your mother up at this hour .. . . or a hotel? Publish the whole thing . . . !” The roots of habit and of home are mightyin their strength, sturdy in resisting an attempt to break away. But he could not occupy the bed so close to her, knowing----- His mother? Iiniat explanation could he offer? . . . It would have to be a hotel! He reached for the knob of the door behind her back. But she had read his wavering of a second. "The other room, Hugh—the guest rooml You can sleep there!” Sleep? She thought he could sleep? At length he gave an un­ willing gesture of assent. Dorrie hurried in to turn on the lights, re­ move the silken coverlid. She hat­ed the idea of change, he thought; wanted to go on without definitely facing the issue. Something would have to be done. What—he did not know. Perhaps the morrow would bring some clarity. Dorrie turned at the door before leaving. “Does Joan know?” He nodded. "She does?” She bit her lip. ,"Then I suppose she told you.” He did not answer. She said with a curious venom, :“I’m sure she did—and it was pret­ ty mean of her, when she knew how it would hurt you!” Hugh stared at her.Her door closed. The darkness folded the room round, an aching eyil darkness. An. iron band tightened around Hugh’s skull, and his mouth seemed filled with the taste of brass. The sec­ ond time that night, that taste. Odd thing. He had never had it before! . . . His heart pounded until his chest ached, and his nerves were as tense as fiddle .strings.Over and over the scenes, the 'words repeated themselves—Joan . . Dorrie and Cun . . . Dorrie. They would not let him alone. And ,each time the act was played, he became aware of sinister implica­tions, ghastly ogre faces that leered and mocked at him, sug­gested details, whispered: "Don’t you remember that time ?”Joan had said “they don’t care any more.” Then she meant that others must know, and he, like the fool in the snickering fable, was the last to learn what was going on under his own roof. Then like an imperious flood it came over him, distaste and long­ ing mingled in its waves, his de­ sire for this woman who had be­ trayed him, for the sweet, dear flesh which had seemed so inalien­ ably his own. He despised him­self for his passion, but he could not quell it or master it.At length the chattering of rob­ ins and sparrows, the crescendo and diminuendo of passing cars, the sound of the maid going out to early church, warned him that no matter how calamitous, he must take up the burden of the day. Dorrie had loved Hugh when she married him, but she had never been in love with him. He offered a mode of life much pleasanter and more dignified than her wander­ ings with her mother before she met Hugh. . Her marriage pleased her at first. She rejoiced in the back­ ground of the Marsh family in Cor­ inth, faintly boasted of it in let­ ters to friends, liked the novelty of having a home of her own and an indulgent husband who could not do enough for her. Later when she became bored with the convention­ alities of Corinth, which was so much like the Harrisville of her youth, she sternly told herself she was lucky—lucky; that Hugh was far too good for her.Fluvanna puzzled her at first. She was not the traditional mother-in- law. Could anyone so generous, so wisely kind, so free from envy or criticism exist? She suspected a pose at first, but came to recog­ nize that the circumstances of Flu­vanna’s life had left her beautiful­ ly self-contained, instead of bitter and broken. Dorrie, who had ex­ pected to patronize or be patron­ized, looked up to her, wanted her approval, praise, and did little un­ expected kindnesses now and then to deserve it.'When she met the Whitneys, she had- found in them a congenial cou­ ple for bridge, conversation, or an outing. Joan was clever; Cun a . lively companion. Cun couldn’t talk of books or plays or muste. and swept away the idea of their having significance for anyone else with a magnificent ridicule. This amused her, for she knew it came from his naive desire to have the world he knew—that of virility, of smart achievements in sales­ manship, of golf, of success in a material way—supreme before the world of’ the intellect. - Cun was always decorous in his manner toward her, but secretly she recognized a quality that moved her. "You’re my. own kind!” Coul had said to her rough­ ly the last time she saw him. "You can’t get away from it for all your airs! You understand me —because you’re like me!” He had seized and kissed her until she pushed him away, filled with loath­ing and fascination. One December day Cun .had dropped by with a silver tray which Joan had borrowed, and lingered to talk by the crackling fire. Out­ side, it was a gloomy, menacing day, and it had seemed magically warm and cosy in the dim room. The talk slipped into easy rhythm and laughter, harmless talk of cars and hunting trips, and the merits of various bridge systems. Then a silence fell and something fluid and stealing passed between them. She looked at him and he was smiling at her. She recognized the light "Not Tonight. I Won’t Let Yon.” in his eyes and dropped her own. A disturbance urgent as the vibra­ tion from a humming wire ran up the inner, part of her arm. She took the hearth broom and swept back some ashes, averting her. face.Cun rose to go, extended Ms hand. "Good-by, nice of you to bo home.”“Wasn’t it? I’m that way—nice,” she said carelessly. He kissed.her. It was not the hasty self-conscious kiss of a bump­ kin, yielding to a furtive desire, but a deftly slow meeting of his lips with hers.They had both laughed with soft understanding and self-excuse—a kiss?—what was a kiss between friends? She rebuked herself aft­ erward for her response. But she found herself looking forward to the next meeting with a reluctant excitement.He brought her an illustrated weekly. The others were near by. “This is the advertisement I told you about. Pretty clever, eh?” Then in a tone low enough for only her to hear: "What you do to me is worse than a bank failure!” “Very clever—ad.” She hummed and moved away. She snubbed him several times after that and felt very moral about it. But with Cun in his place, life lost a cer­tain zest. She was in a dull mood that Jan­uary day when Cun called. “Hello, how do you like this blizzard? . . . Don’t you need a man who is out- of-work to clean off your side­walks?” Then in a lower voice: "Please let me. come over and talk a while! Joan went down town and I’m as lonesome as the last passenger pigeon!”She gave her consent. After all it was a kind thing to do—even Hugh would approve. Cun was feel­ ing down. No job—poor fellow! These were the excuses her con-, scious mind gave, while the inner mind sent her upstairs to change her dress, spray her hair with per­ fume, in riotous excitement. “Cun, you mustn’t sit on the arm of my chair! Sit ovfer there where you belong—across from me. . . . I’ll make you shovel snow if you don’t behave! . . . I know my hair is pretty . . . and I know I’m beautiful. I’ve been told it a hun­ dred times! . . . How are you go­ing to be sensible—good friends— or shall we have to stop seeing each other altogether? . . . Please don’t! . . . I hate to be touched . . . I’m not seductive . . . This old dress? Just an afternoon thing which you said you liked once! . . . But. I didn’t put it on for you . . . Why do you say that? Aren’t you taking a great deal for grant­ed?” AU weak defenses. Words which did not deceive him, for her tone did not match her sentences. He . knew he was evoking a re­ sponse in her, read it in the slurred uneasiness of her voice, in the deep sparkle of her eyes. It was a game which he had played many times before but never for such quarry. (TO BE CONTINUED,'k Bainy Season Bridge In Guatemala City. Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. WHEN you enter Guatemala' City, you are in the most populous place in all Cen­ tral America. With a pop­ulation of 120,000, including about 6,000 foreigners, Guatemala City is a thriving metropolis of well-paved streets, department stores, luxury shops, cafes, country clubs, busy factories, garages, and modern ho­tels. Its motion picture theaters, showing mostly American “talkies” with Spanish subtitles, advertise with big electric signs overhanging the streets in Broadway style. At the capital’s covered central market, the largest in the country, the array of foodstuffs, textiles, utensils, furniture, and other com­ modities is endless. Its long aisles, and the streets adjoining the mar­ket buildmg and cathedral, are al­ ways jammed with a noisy, restless throng of merchants and buyers. And the odors, strange, spicy and heavy! The fresh scents of vege­tables and exotic flowers mingle with the greasy smell of cooking food, the aroma of roasted coffee, and the balmy fragrance of copal incense.Those with weak stomachs may not like the appearance or odor of freshly slaughtered meat. Nor will they find appetizing the leached corn mash for tortillas; or arma­ dillos roasted in their shells; or crude brown sugar pressed into dirty blocks and balls. But vis­itors are delighted with bright trop­ ical fruits piled in artistic disar­ray, graceful baskets and glazed pottery, and gay textiles woven on primitive hand looms. Guatemalans are proud, and just­ ly so, of .the .fine coffee grown in their highlands. Placards in Eng­ lish and Spanish remind the visitor at every turn that “Guatemala Grpws the Best Coffee in the World.” On the days when tourist trains arrive in Guatemala City, the de­ partment of agriculture holds open house. Small packages of freshly roasted’ coffee, wrapped in glazed paper, are presented to each visitor. They are appropriate souvenirs of a nation which is the sixth most im­portant coffee grower in the world, being exceeded only by Brazil, Co­ lombia, the Netherlands Indies, Venezuela and El falvador. The second most important ex­port is the banana,- grown in the coastal plains bordering the Gtdf of Honduras and the Pacific. Airport a Busy Spot. One of the busiest spots today in this busiest of Central American capitals is La Aurora airport. Here the trunk line of the Pan Amer­ ican Airways from Brownsville, Texas, to Panama connects with, a half-dozen local air services to dis­ tant parts of the republic. Many who do not come to Guate­ mala City by plane, come by boat, and dock at San Jose, a sleepy little tropical port. Between steamers this "back door” to Guatemala drowses in the shade of tall bread­ fruit trees and coconut palms, and carries on a desultory commerce with the Indians of the coastal la­goons.Its dingy water front, ragged por­ ters and fishermen, stifling heat, and main street pre-empted by rail­ road tracks give no promise of the color and activity of Guate­ mala’s gay, modern capital, high up in the cool central plateau. The first part of the 73-mile jour­ney to Guatemala City follows a gently rising plain, whose black vol­ canic soil is planted thickly in ba­nanas, sugar cane, cotton, cacao, and fruit trees. Guatemala City is nearly a mile above sea level, in the cool and healthful tierra tem- plada, or temperate zone, and the train must gain most of this alti­ tude in the last fifty miles.Not ,far beyond Palin the line creeps through a narrow valley be­tween two towering peaks and comes out on the edge of mountain- rimmed Lake Amatitlon. For sev­ eral miles the railroad winds along the shore, passing groups of In­dian-women washing clothes in hot springs at the water’s edge. It is a convenient laundry, for clothes may . be boiled in the springs and rinsed in the cold fresh'water of the lake without taking a step! *The train approaches Guatemala City through verdant suburbs which give way to warehouses and rail­road yards, indicating the commer­ cial activity of this busy Latin American capital. “Winter” Means Bainy Season. From the terminal, taxis whisk visitors over smoothly paved streets to their hotel; frequently a grandi­ ose structure' with a glass-covered patio, mahogany floors and furni­ture, and very high ceilings. If one remarks to the clerk that the air seems a trifle chilly, "Yes, the winter is just beginning,” he may reply."Winter? In the tropics? And in May?He explains that “winter” in Gua­temala is the rainy season, May to October, a period of clouds, damp­ ness, and dismal rains, although, he hastens to add, “part of every day is fair and sunny.” In “summer,” November to April, there is little or no rain, the sun shines through­ out the day, and the people arc healthier and happier. One may be awakened in the morning by the clamor of church bells, the rumble .of heavy oxcarts, and the musical chimes of carriages bearing worshipers to early mass. Guatemala City is compactly built. Stand on the roof of oiie of its modern buildings and you see a clean and pleasant community, most of whose white, blue, pink, and buff-colored houses and shops are one or two* stories high. OMy a few concrete business buildings and stone church towers rise above' the prevailing flat, red-tiled roofs. Founded in the year the United States declared its independence, Guatemala City is a comparative youngster among the communities of Latin America. Several times it has been damaged by earth­ quakes, and In 1917 almost the en­ tire city was destroyed. It has lost its Old World air, although it still has many Moorish-type homes with iron-grilled windows and patios aglow with flowers. Fascinating as is Guatemala City, however, it is but a prelude to that native Guatemala which is older in race, culture, and traditions. High in the Sierra Madre west and north of the capital, pure-blooded Indians still dress as did their ancestors, worship their old gods as well as the new, and live their lives al­most unaffected by modern civil­ ization.Until a few years ago, when the government launched an extensive road-building program, travel in the highlands of Guatemala was slow and arduous. Now one may motor from the capital westward to the Mexican border and east to El Sal­ vador. Motoring Through the Country. Speeding along the floor of the valley, one passes a steady stream of Indians and vehicles bound for the markets of Guatemala City. Stolid, earnest-faced men trot by at a half run, their heads held rigid by a tumpline across the forehead that supports the heavy loads on their backs. For miles, they have been jogging along at this peculiar, forward-falling gait. In cacastes, or wooden frames, they carry goods of all kinds—earthen jars, furniture, bags of grain, or fresh vegetables. Their women hurry along beside or behind them, arms swinging free­ ly, their burdens on their heads. Sometimes it is a basket of live chickens, a fat roll of clothing, wov­ en fabrics, or a bundle of firewood. Almost always a baby bobs up and down in a shawl slung across the mother’s back. Each tribe, and almost every vil­ lage, in the highlands has a distinc­tive costume. Designs have not changed in hundreds of years. To those who know the different cos­ tumes, the Indians of the highlands might be carrying signs around their necks reading, “I am from Solola,” or “I am from Cbichicas- tenango,” et cetera. It is regrettable, however, that many of these costumes are disap­ pearing. Native garb has been re­ placed by blue denim and cheap imported cotton goods throughout most of El Salvador, and these ma­ terials are now penetrating Guate­mala. Under the harsh treatment of the Indian’s daily toil, such fab­rics are quickly'reduced to tatters. Unlike the half-naked aborigines of the jungle lowlands, or the itin­ erant tradesmen and servants of the cities, the Indians of the high­ lands of Guatemala have main­ tained a proud semi-independence as farmers, weavers and pottery makers.Conquered but never , assimilated, they are aristocrats among the na­tive peoples of Central America, and they are sufficiently well or­ganized to make mass petitions to the central government when local conditions demand it. They have had much less contact with other races than Indians elsewhere have had, and are not badly scourged with alcohol. Consequently, they have retained their self-respect and are neither subservient nor cring- ing. Murmurings of Spring c*TF YOU’D take a few steps, I Sis, I believe I’d be inspired to answer that question, ‘Did you ever see a dream walking?’. You are nothing less than devastating —truly a menace!” “You meow so sweetly, Connie. I’m a bit suspicious that this little peplum frock of mine has got you catty. Your eyes really aren’t green by rights, you know.” Connie Sews Her Own. “How could you? I think my dress looks as nice on me as yours does on you. Why practical­ ly all of the girls at the Laf-a-Lot last night wanted to know where I found such a lovely frock. Not one of them guessed that I made it myself. And did I feel elegant when I played Mendelssohn’s Spring Song on Diane’s new baby grand! The girls said I fit into the picture perfectly. I thought if only Dwight could see me now.”“I still say my two-piecer with its piped peplum, cute little but­ tons and stream-Iines is the No. I spring outfit in this woman’s town.” Mother Happens Along. "Girls, girls, if your talk were only half as pretty as your frocks you’d be better off. Sometimes I wonder if you wouldn’t be more appropriately titled The Chedc Twins, rather than The Chic Twins.”“Okay, Mother, you win. Let’s change the subject by changing clothes. We’ll put on our cullottes and join you in a round of golf, how’s that? Gee, Mother, you nev­ er look sweeter than when you’re wearing a casual young two-piece shirt dress. The plaid pique is just the ’ thing for you, too. In fact, Mom, you’re just about tops from any angle.” The Patterns. Pattern 1257 is for sizes 12 to 20' (30 to 40 bust).

Under or­ dinary conditions, states an expert at the North Carolina State college, each cow should receive six-tenths of one pound of grain for each pound of milk produced in excess of ten pounds. This means that a cow giving 20 pounds of milk would receive six pounds of grain a day. This feeding is based on the sup­ position that the cow is getting abotit three pounds of silage for each 100 pounds of weight and all the legume hay she will eat. Where the hay is of poor quality, more grain will be required. ' Co-ops M ake Color Film - A color film featuring oranges and lemons, avocados, other fruits and dairy products, and automatic re­ frigeration has been released by the California Fruit Gowers Exchange in co-operation with five manufac­ turers whose products are non-com­ petitive. The film is educational, says the Country Home Magazine, but is intended to boost the sale of all of the products. When a farm co-op becomes strong enough, it can afford to co-operate with big private corporations instead of fight­ing them.
