Coring Economic Ills. Seldom in our history has there been such profound disagreement between individuals and groups over the question of bow to put the af fairs of the nation and its .people on a sound economic footing again., The idea on this subject, hotlv de­ bated on all sides, range all the way from insistence upon the Gov­ ernment taking its hands off all private business enterprises, to com­ plete control by Government of the affairs of everv business and every individual. We do not pretend to know the right answer. Only Omniscient Wisdom itself can tell whether this, that or the other of the innumerable recipes for the restoration of pros­ perity will effect a cure. It seems to us quite possible that none of them is a panacea for all the ills that currently afflict the body po­ litic. It seems more likely that the only cure is that ancient heal­ er, Time; .which eventually cures all things. ■ In tbis.impatient age, quick re­ sults are demanded. If the coun­ try isn’t back on its feet before the next election, how can any politi­ cal party claim the credit for re­ covery when, it has not yet arriv­ ed? Why. should the slow healing process of; Time be allowed to drag along until some other group hap­ pens to be, In. office? Much of the confusion of ideas as to what ought to bedone to save the country arises from no more worthy motives than that- We think top highly of the intelligence 0 * the statesmen in control of pub­ lic affairs iik Washington to imag­ ine that many of them actually be­ lieve that economic ills can be cur ed by political methods and meas­ ures. But we would be the last to suggest that they stop talking and give the .rest"of ns a ' rest, and . a chance to try working out our own salvation.^ After all, progress can come only when discussion Is free and unrestricted. -And certainly the American people are getting a liberal education in elementary e- conomics out of It.—Wilkes Jour- nai-Patriot, ■ Wrong With Tlie System.

What’s the Secret? A Western contemporary notes that repetition of the fact that the state of Nebraska has no bonded debt and even through the recent lean years was able to operate without an income tax or sales tax, is always news. It certainly qualifies as interesting and important in this day and age. The Nebraska state constitution re- quiresapay-as-you-go policy; JNo debts, w th their heavy carrying charges, are permitted. That; must be the answer to this strange way of conducting public business. : Apparently this habit of keeping, out of debt has grown upon the popu­ lation of Nebraska bo that nobody suggests my alternations. , -There must be a temptation to borrow': for new buildings,. new roads andya. rious subsidies of one sort pr an* other for tbis or thsit faction. Other states do such borrowing with the reckless attitudethatwhat ourchild- ren pay for is no worry of ours.

One of the most serious of pre­ sent trends, as I see it, is the lack' of thrift among the younger genera­ tion in America. By thrift I meat) frugality, hot miserliness. The one persisting motive for hard work and saving in Ameria during oast days was to lav aside enough^to make, one’s old age comfortable.'

Now, with unemployment insur and old age pensions for- all. young people feel that they can, land 'even should, spend all they earn as :they go along,’ and they save: nothing. The depression followed By the wild spending spree in Washington has fostered this idea: If you save, a depression' will pro­ bably come along and ’sweep every-, thing you have accumulated away and leave you penniless. - . On-the other hand, if you spend .your earn­ ings 'as fast as you go along you can be assured of enjoying, life, and there’s always the government^ to fall .back upon in case you lose your job. ' ." In day’s gone by to be thrifty: one had to be industrious. One bad. to earn, all one could and bid to deli­ berately go without things in. order to lay aside savings, but thes^ .say­ ings represented the nation’s,capita!; and it was capital and; labor,- work­ ing together, that made our country great.

Reed Choice of Reed Liked XTO mination of Stanley Formen Reed of Kentucky, solicitor general, as associate justice of the Supreme court met with general ap­proval and it was predicted in Wash­ ington that he would be speedily con­ firmed by the sen­ ate, with little or ho j * opposition. ;• Republicans and Democrats a lik e were quick to praise th e KentucMan1 who, while a de­ fender of many New Deal measures, has acquired a reputa-- tion for being'realistic and a liberal ■with “moderate” tendencies. Senator Ashurst, chairman of the judiciary committee; named a sub­committee which planned quick public hearings on the nomination. Mr. Reed, who will fill the va­cancy caused by the retirement of Justice George Sutherland, is fifty- three years old and has never be­ fore been on the bench. In 1929 Herbert Hoover, then President, made him general counsel of the federal farm board. Later he was shifted to the same capacity in the Reconstruction Finance corporation. He retained his post at the outset of the present administration. Then President Roosevelt picked him for solicitor general to defend the New Deal cases before the Su­ preme court. Of these he won 11 and lost 2.In the opinion of lawyers Mr. Reed’s legal philosophy is orthodox. His liberalism is not that which would do away with legal proce­dure in establishment of untried schemes, yet he feels that congress and the President would shirk their duty if they did not venture into legislative fields of untried constitu­ tionality. —-K - Hits Holding Companies PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in a I press conference, declared he was determined to wipe out all hold­ ing companies.. The method to be used in eliminating them, he said, was still under discussion; he in­ dicated it might be done through legislation and the exercise of the taxing power.The “death sentence” imposed on holding companies Sn the utility in­ dustry in the 1935 act is a step to­ ward the new purge. The . Presi­dent revealed that Wendell L. Will- kie, head of the Commonwealth and Southern corporation, recently had urged him to relax this restriction and that his plea had .been rejected. Senator Norris, who has proposed that most holding companies be taxed out of existence, holds that it might be desirable to retain first de­ gree companies, or those which hold securities in operating companies only. —-K - •_ Tax Changes Planned - pHAIRMAN DOUGHTON and his house ways and means commit­tee began hearings on proposals for 63 changes in the revenue ' laws which would exempt small corpora­ tions, constituting 90 per cent ,of American business, under, the undi­ vided profits levy and grant large enterprises only, part of the relief demanded from harsh rates. These changes were formulated by . Fred Vinson’s subcommittee, which in a long report defended them as fair and predicted they would stimulate business without re­ducing Qie aggregate federal reve­ nue. .. AIn addition to changes in the tax Structure the sub-committee urged recodification of the complex maze • of internal revenue statutes to-clar­ ify their meaning, speed tax collec­ tions, and simplify enforcement.The most important individual change recommended was the pro­ posed exemption of small corpora­ tions—those earning $25,000 or less annually and comprising about 90 per cent of the nation’s 200,000 busi­ ness concerns—from, the undistrib­ uted surplus tax. • , The report proposed as'a “general rule” a tentative tax of 20 per cent on corporations’ earnings more than $25,000 per year, but allowing a credit of four-tenths of I per cent for each 10 per cent of earnings de­ clared as dividends, — • Kidnaped Ross Was Slain CCORE another for J. Edgar ^ Hoover and'his “G-men”. They have solved the mysterious case of the kidnaping of Charles Ross, elder­ ly retired manufacturer, in Chicago last September, arrested the kidnap^ er and obtained Iiis confession that he killed both Ross and his own con­ federate after getting $50,000 ran­ som money from Mrs. Ross. The murderer, Peter Anders, was taken at Santa Anita race track, near Los Angeles, where he had been passing some of the ransom money through the pari mutuel ma­ chines. Full details of his confession were not at once made public. DoddAngerstheNazis \yiL L IA M E. DODD, until re- '* cently American ambassador to Berlin; has put himself in a class with Mayor La Guardia so far as the Nazis are con­cerned, by a speech in New York. It was violently anti-Hitler, and German Am­ bassador H a n s DieckhofE immedi­ ately made a bitter protest to Secretary of State Hull, saying Dodd had insulted the Reichsfuehrer.. In particular the W. E. Doda ambassador was an­ gered by Dodd’s statements that un­ der Hitler “almost as many person­ al opponents were killed in five years as Charles H (king of Eng­ land) executed in 20 years of the Seventeenth century,” and that Hitr Ier is “now more absolute than any medieval emperor of Germany.” ; - Mr. Hull informed DieckhoS that Dodd was now a private citizen and that our government does,not have control over, the utterances of individuals; also that Dodd’s utter­ ances do not represent the views of this government. .

The opponents feel that the measure would endain- 'ger the prosperity of !fiddle West industries, many of which already have been crippled or wiped out' since the opening of the Panama canal and the establishment of tolls lower than rail rates from the Mis­ sissippi .valley to either coast. This cheapening' of transportation for seaboard industries made it impos­ sible for enterprise in the interior ol the country to compete inseabosird' markets. , T- 'J- Public hearings on the McAdoo bill were opened, and it was pre­ dicted there would be a:great strug­ gle in congress between ’ seaboard and interior interests. SixMilIionIIIEveryDay DECAUSE of illness or injury, an ' average of 6 ,000,000 of the coun-' try’s: 130,000,000 men, women and children are each day unable to work, attend school, or pursue other1 usual activities during the winter months. This state of affairs was revealed by a report of the federal public health service. Seventeen per cent of all the peo-' .pie, according to the report, loses at least one week in a year because of illness. “In the light of current attempts to determine the extent and causes of unemployment, and its relation ,to inadequate food, shelter and medi­ cal care, further revelations of this survey should be of extreme im­ portance.” Big Flying Boat Destroyed CAMOAN CLIPPER, huge flying boat of the Pan-American Air­ ways, fell into the Pacific ocean near Samoa, carrying the seven members of the crew to their deaths. There were no pas­ sengers, for the ship was making one of its pioneering flights on the newly estab­ lished route across the Pacific. It was on the way, from Pago Pago harbor, American Samoa, to Auckland, New Zea­ land, and had turned back toward Pago. Pago because of an oil leak. Pre­ sumably it was dumping gasoline to facilitate landing and the fuel ex­ ploded, destroying the plane. First in the list of victims was Capt. Edwin C. Musick, considered the most experienced ocean flyer in the world and chief pilot of the Pa­ cific division of Pan-American. He was one of the most conservative of flyers and officials of the com­ pany said he and his flight crew were entirely blameless for the dis­ aster.Those who perished with Musick were First Officer Cecil G. Sellers, Junior Flight Officer Paul S. Brunk, F. J. MacLean, J. W. Stickrod, J1 A- Brooks and J. T.

France in a Crisis FRANCE was indulging in another " of its periodical governmental crises. Financial'and labor troubles forced Premier Camille Chautemps and his Popular Front cabinet to resign, and: the customary search for ia man who could command a majority of the chamber ensued. At the present writing President Le­ brun had turned again to Chau- temps, but the situation was chang­ ing with each hour. Georges Bon­ net, who has been serving as am­bassador to Washington tried his hand, but was blocked by Leon Blum, socialist leader and former premier. -Then-Blum, undertook the job but gave up;because of conserv­ ative opposition.

Washington--Many times, I' have written in these columns abrtit the - „ • confused state'' of“Big SfutUr’ affairs: in the fed: ' Com udted eral ' government, ■' ' ' ' aricf the'Roosevelt' administration. > I wish I'were pos­sessed of sufficient , wisdom to un­ dertake an analysis of them, as they exist now, for it. probably would be helpful to kll. ‘ Butihaving no such vast wisdom, !.shall have to' con: .tent myself with the service of re­porting on several circumstances of repent development''and let it go at th a t_ !-'Vi■' i:i- '. -.For" several weeks now, we have witnessed- a steady stream of call4 ers at the White House. There have been some labor leaders but mostly the list of callers whom .the Presi­ dent invited were; the greatest. of American industrialists, the “eco­ nomic royalists” whom Mr. Roose­ velt has so roundly denounced from time to time, or. whenever it served political purposes to attack them publicly. The purposes of having these men visit the President, as announced at the White House, were to consult and trjr to find ways and means of checking the current de­ pression. As I said,, these White House vis­ itors were the very “economic roy­alists”: whom Mr. Roosevelt has at­ tacked with such apparent satisfac­ tion throughout the last five years. Indeed, among their number were some of the “sixty families” upon whom Secretary Ickes of the Inte­ rior department, and. Robert H.' Jackson, trust busting assistant at­torney general, have been heaping abuse as the folks who “control”; America. Anyone who will take the trouble to review the President’s speeches and the more recent bar­ rage of attacks by Messrs. Ickes and Jackson cannot help wondering if those men are crooks and if they crush the "common pee-pul,” as charged, why th'eir advice can be any good now. Nextly, it is hard to understand why or how anything is .to.be gained by consulting with men of that type in a serious effort to solve the prob­ lems of the current depression and set off dynaihite under them at the same time. That is what happened. Mr. Roosevelt announced with ve­ hemence at a press interview that all holding companies, “must go.”; They must be eliminated from American economic life and at once; there can be no toleration- of corporations that are organized to hold the stock of other corporations, etc., etc. He, has taken a definite position on that before as regards power companies and drove a bill through congress to eliminate them. This time, he wants to-go much further. Which is.proper, if-that be his policy. But here is the peculiar thing. Two hours after he made his announcement, he bad a dozen men in conference who represented the very thing he was denouncing and was seeking their advice. It seems paradoxical, to say the least . On top of- these .conferences that have brought ,scores of prominent industrial ccefptains to Washington at the President’s invitation,'there is to be noted an entire absence of an£ administration action looking to re­ lease of business, to do its part in taking on unemployed workers. I have talked to men in congress of every shade of opinion and they are all- awaiting some word as to the President’s views. Their position is that the President wants to take the lead in mapping a program and'' most of them, I believe, will help him carry it out. They feel also that for them to start development of a program of their own makes them subject to White House critic cism if the legislation fails to meet New Deal specifications. So they simply wait!In the meantime, the depression has sunk deeper and deeper. I frankly believe that, in some locali­ties it is right now as bad as any­ thing we saw in 1932. Business men are frightened to death and will not expand their businesses because of the danger that they will lose every­ thing they have, and individuals are frightened and will not spend more money, than is absolutely necessary. In other'words, there is again a lack of confidence that is . appalling. It. seems:to. center, on Mr. Roose­ velt as it centered on Mr. Hoover in IWO and 1931. I can judge the whole situation only by attempting to compose the observations that I gather from countless conversations. If this con­ sensus be accurate, then it would appear that', current fears result from an inability of anyone to know what Mr. Roosevelt will do nest That is to say,'the expressions stressed' statements that his poli­ cies “lack continuity;” that he changes “overnight;” that he “at­ tacks business with one hand and kicks it in . the pants with one foot and asks it to take the load off of the government at the same time; that he takes advice; “of a lot of nincompoops on finances who can’t even balance their own household budgets;” 'that he “won’t let pri- •ate initiative do anything without ' iving a flock of government spies on our trails,” and. so onv I ,couML;. supply fifty more frt»m my notes, but' they' would be of the same ten- or. Arid mind you! a large per- centagd^.Jttese came from repre- sentatives and senators in congress, Democrats and Republicans alike,. - • m • ■ Another phase of the general situ­ ation:?' .:.There’, has -been a tremendous drive against monopoly... This was ■ . ..... lead largely by Drwe on ‘ : ' AssistantAttornqr Monopoly General: Jackson,.: . but Mr. Ickes and lesser lights have helped carry- the ball. The attacks have been gen­ eral. There has been no distinc­ tion between good business and bad • business.' The result has been that every man who. has some money tied up in business is wondering whether he is going to have to de­ fend himself in some' way, how­ ever careful he has been about complying with die federal laws. The fact was called to my atten­ tion also that many of the busi­ nesses charged with monopoly are doing just what -the government forced them to do. The unlamented NRA can be recalled without ef-. fort. Under the. NRA, every unit or every line of business was told ' what to do and How to do it. Codes. of business practice were laid down for them, bearing the approval of the President Since NRA was rele­ gated to the ashcan, we find a dozen suits being prosecuted against busi­ nesses for, continuing, to do*:the things they were forced to do when NRA was the law of the land. Then, I would like to ask what is wrong that real trusts are not being broken up. The Department of Jus­ tice has some able lawyers who have been assisting Attorney Gen­ eral Cummings since the inception of the New Deal. It . appears to a layman lflce roe that five years ought to be ample time in which to make some headway against trusts and monopolies. I am moved to ask, therefore, can this new outburst against monoply be a bit of poli­ tics?* • • But the turning of the New Deal wheel has brought one magnificent . ' appointment' t oPratse the Supreme court for Reed . of the . United States. I. refer .to the nomination of Stanley- Reed to succeed the retiring Justice Suther­ land. Mr. Reed has been -solicitor general of the United States and} as such has directed the nation’s legal affairs under‘ Attorney General Cummings. His service there, and before that-with the reconstruction finance corporation, has been meri­ torious. There has ,been nothing but praise of his ability and of his char­ acter. He stands out as a great lawyer and fine personality. The appointment is worthy of con­ sidering from two standpoints. Jus­tice Sutherland’s, resignation and the subsequent appointment gives the present President control of the court. That is to say, the known division of the court between con­ servative - and liberal thought has beeji; switched from the conserva­ tive' side to the liberal side by the appointment of two men. Actu­ ally, it accomplishes for Mr. Roose­ velt the very purpose he sought to accomplish by demanding of con­ gress that it pass the so-called court reform bill a year ago, a piece of legislation on which tbe President received the worst licking of his political career. The second important considera­ tion in the appointnient is the high type of man named by the PreSi-. dent. Mr. Reed is progressive in thought. The New Dealers always' have counted him as one ' of their number, but I find many people who contend that Stanley Reed believes first in the law of the land and in obeying it, rather than indulge in- wishful thinking on a lot of silly,: untried schemes. The country is for­ tunate, indeed, to have a man like Mr. Reed on the court. And; continuing .the theme of un­usual circumstances, I think refer- - ence ought to be T ake a made to: the fer- B eatiag . rifle. beating that- is being handed the southern^ Deniocratic members of the senate. They have been mak­ ing a brave fight against passage of a piece of utterly assinine legisla­ tion—the so-called anti-lynching wn Men like Harrison of Mississippi, Byrnes of South Carolina, Connally of.

Hhat rea­ son is that Senator Wagner, is try­ ing to get control of the negro votes in New York city's Harl^m area.

VIRGINIA V A IE *** THESE are stirring times in radio, motion pictures and newsreels for all three have reached a new high peak of achievement. . With the Tosca-. iini symphony concerts the Na­ tional Broadcasting company has deservedly won the greatest audience response, the highest tributes from music critics, composers and musicians. Norman Alley’s XTniversal news­ reel of the bombardment of the U. S. S. Panay is graphic history that brings to every citi­ zen a first-hand ac­count of toe outra­ geous conditions our government is fac­ing in the Orient. In the field of fictional m o tio n pictures "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Walt Disney’s first feature-length fanta- Walt Disney sy, is a glittering milestone. Any day now, Dopey, the little dwarf who never learned to talk because he had nothing to say, will take his place in your hearts along with Mickey Mouse ana Donald Duck. Paramount and Warner Brothers are going to remake some old pic­tures of theirs, having failed to find any new story material as good. Paramonnt has selected "The Let­ ter” as the first starring vehicle for Isa Mirande, famous Italian ac­ tress. This story, a spine-chilling thriller by Somerset Maugham, was first filmed some ten years ago. and was an outstanding success among early talking pictures. Warner Brothers feel that it is high time to film "Trilby” again. This time Claude Rains and either Anita Lou­ ise or Olivia de HaviHand will play SvenmiIi and Trilby. When you read that so-and-so made a film test in New York and was sent to Hollywood under con­ tract to make pictures, it may not sound impressive. It should, how­ ever, for last year out of 52,000 applicants, only 56 won contracts. Variety, the authoritative trade pa­ per of the theatrical world, checked up and found that of the 52,000 ap­ plicants, only 6,050 had auditions. Among these, 360 were given screen tests. Most spectacular successes among the young players sent to Hollywood a year or so ago are Frances Farmer, Don Ameche, and Tyrone Power. —-B- ' Motion - picture producers are scurrying around trying to think of some new formula for making musi­ cal pictures, because they can’t go o f making them bigger. "Rosalie” stretches the eye of the camera to its utmost limits. It has armies of dancing girls, platoons of sing­ ers, it has airplanes, boats; foot­ ball players, it has more of every­ thing than you have ever seen crowded into one pieture. A lovely newcomer, Rona Massey, whom you have probably heard on the radio, makes you want to see and hear more of her. Nelson Eddy works valiantly with all his heroic and vocal might. Infinitely less pretentious, but generous in the array of public idols - it introduces is Re­ public’s “Merry Go Round.” Gangsters led by Iieo Carrillo take over a record­ing company, and then the fun and noise begin. Mixed up in the proceed­ ings are Joe DiMag- . gio, baseball star, Gene Autry and his cowboy band, Kay Thompson and her radio chorus, Cab Calloway and Ted Lewis and their bands; singing Phil Regan and Ta­ mara Geva. The story never tries to make sense, just goes jocularly along its way with blasts of music, from crooning to hi-de-ho.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOB TOPIC —Helping by Being Friendly:YOUNG PEOPLE AND'ADULT TOPIC— Crusading for a Christian Society. “Crusading for a Christian Socie­ ty,” is one of the. topics assigned for consideration today. Everyone who is right thinking would- be glad if the social order of which we are all a part might be made Christian, for it is ,far from it now. But fore­ doomed to failure are the attempts to Christianize society by some great program of “social regenera­ tion.” God’s way is to save the in­ dividual who makes up the social order. When a man is right with God he will be right with his fel­ low man. The Scripture lesson for today is full of outstanding spiritual princi­ ples of the greatest practical im­ port to both Christians and the un­ converted. It should be studied by the guidance of .the Holy Spirit and taught in his power. I. One Sinner Becomes a Servant (w . 13, 14). Capernaum was so situated that it provided an excellent location for the collection of the Roman taxes which the Jews so hated. There at the “receipt of custom” sat a Jew named Levi, who was no doubt despised by his neighbors because he had joined in - this distasteful business. To him. came the gra­ cious Lord with the invitation, “Fol­ low me.” How different would be the history of the cause of Christ on earth if every other man who thus was called had done likewise. To follow the Master means sacri­ fice and breaking with the old Slife,. but it also means peace and gloiy. H. Many Sinners Meet the Lord (v. 15). Levi, who now becomes Matthew, showed his love for the Ioird by de­ siring that his friends might also meet him. So he prepared a din­ ner for them in his own house, to which he also invited Jesus. It is always dangerous for, a Christian to maintain social con­ tact with his former companions in sin, if he does so for his own en­ joyment or advantage. But to be their friends that one may win them to Christ, that is most desirable. III. Some Righteous Folk Miss the Lord (w . 16, 17). Sin is an unspeakably horrible thing that separates men from God, but it is not an insuperable bar­ rier, for the moment a man con­ fesses his sin and calls on the Saviour he is saved. But self- righteousness—that is the impassa­ ble barrier. God can do nothing for the man-who rests his hope of sal­vation on his own good character, high morality, and respectable po­ sition In society. IV. Fasting and Feasting—When and Why (w. 18-20). God established one fast, day for Israel. They established many, es­ pecially , the. Pharisees.. Rdigion that loses its spiritual life and pow- • er dings with tenacity to outward observances and symbols. Should one never fast? Yes, to the true follower of Jesus there come times when the urgency of soul concerning the problems of one’s own life, the . lives of others, the needs of the world, shuts the door of interest to anything as ordinary as food for the body. Feasting and rejoicing—are these spiritual and uplifting? Christianity is a joyful faith. It is not to be hidden to damp, dark cloisters; it thrives in the sunshine, in the happy laughter of a child, in the cheerful shout of the saint. The Church is the Bride of Christ. If the friends of the bridegroom were to rejoice (v. 19), should not the Bride shout for joy? V. New Thhigs versos Old Things (w . 21, 22). , The Pharisees wanted the gospel of grace to conform to the narrow channels of their interpretation of the law. Was not the law good? Yes. Jesus said he came not to de­ stroy it, but to fulfill it (Matt. 5:17). He bore the curse of the law that we might be free (GaL 3:13, 14). But he also brought in the new covenant of assurance and grace. The mixing of grace and law, or the effort to do so, has continued even to our day. Letusbeclearon that point—we are saved by grace; not by the works of the law (Eph. 2:8, 9). We work because we are saved, not in order to be saved. Prayer ; It the eye is fixed on God, though! may roam where it will without ir­ reverence. for every thought is then converted into a prayer. Need Exercising - The only way to restore a weak­ ened will is by exercising itself , in details of duty.

GtOR several, years, just as regtt- 1 larly as wiriter came around, press association dispatches carried the news about hunters up in Cam ada having to'fight for their lives against. packs, of ferocious timber wolveB. In fact, a winter without such a wolf story was like a winter without Christmas and Santa Claus. And strangely enough all of these stories came from the town of Al- goma. And then when the whole nation had become thoroughly "wolf-con­scious” (and "Algoma-conscious”) J. W. Curran, editor of the Sault Ste. Marie Daily Star, confessed that it was all a hoax. He-had at- temped to interest outside newspa­ pers in the resources of the Algonia wilderness and had failed. So1 he turned to wolves to help him. The non-existent ferocious beasts turned the trick. Tourists were attracted to the area in increasing numbers. Even the discovery there .of low grade iron ore deposits as the result of the provincial government’s offer­ ing a bounty for developing iron ore beds is credited to the wolf campaign. But after awhile Mr. Curran be­ came tired of hearing his paper called the “Wolf Gazette." He had accomplished- his purpose and in an editorial he exposed the hoax. He said, "Any man who says he Was et by a wolf is a liar.” Then he offered a $500 reward for any­one who could’claim that an Algoma man had been attacked by a wolf. That reward is still standing for no one has yet tried to collect the $500. There are wolves in that region but it seems that they’re not as fierce as the “Wolf Gazette” once claimed they were;• • • The Archko Volume Fr 1879 Rev. W. D. Mahan, a Cum­berland. Presbyterian minister of Bochville, Mo., published a book called "The Archko Volume." It purported to be an official report of the trial and death of Jesus Christ, made directly to the Emperor Ti­ berius by Pontius Pilate, governor of’Judea, which Mahan asserted he had obtained from., the Vatican in Rome. Its authenticity was immediately attacked but Mahan defended his work so vigorously that many peo­ ple were convinced that it was genu­ ine. Later he expanded the book with the addition of other docu­ ments,- giving many new "facts” about the life of Christ. These, he asserted, he had obtained fh the Vatican and in Constantinople. Since that time the Archko Vol­ ume, has been reprinted in many different editions -ih many different cities;.it has been translated into foreign languages and thousands of copies of it have been sold all over the. world. Despite the fact that Dr; Edgtor J. Goodspeed of the Uni­ versity of Chicago, an. eminent am thority on early Christian literature, has proved that the book is a fake from beginning to end, many people still believe it authentic. And strtoigely enough an original print­ ing of this fake is now considered a rarity and a valuable piece of Americana, and several copies have been sold for as much as $50 each. s e e ; A Bajth for Miss Liberty TO THE city: editor of every New York newspaper several years ago came an announcement from the "American Patriotic League” that the Statue of Liberty was going to be given a bath. It had been de­ cided that the film of dust and -smoke from passing steamers must be-: removed from Bartholdi’s fa­mous, statue.'but in order to avoid possible injury to the metal, the an­nouncement said, a new supersuds solution would be used. The story, printed in all thepa- pers, was picked up ,by the press associations and carried all over the country. Immediately the col­ umnists and newspaper paragraph- ers began making wisecracks about -Miss Liberty’s bath and it became one of the leading topics of the day. But when ah inquiry about the pro­ posed bath was made at the War department, which then had juris­diction oyer Bedloe’s island, of­ ficials there said they knew nothing about the matter. Then one New York editor became suspicious. He dug up the original announcement and looked at the address of the "American Patriotic League/’ - By a strange coincidence it was the same 'address as that of an ad­vertising agency handling publicity for a soap company that was ready to put a new soap product on the market!. r B eerIsV eryO ld ’.Historically, beer is of great an­ tiquity. It was. manufactured by the Egyptians and by the Greeks, Romans and ancient Gauls. The Romans are supposed to have intro­ duced the art of brewing into Brit­ ain, the only intoxicating beverages used by- the Britons previous to the Roman - conquest being mead and cider. Ale seems to have been the current name. in England for malt liquor in general before the intro­ duction of the use of hops from Germany about-1524. R u th 5W yetfi S pears < ± 3 $ t IN THE sketch at the upper left A you see the pieces of a daven­ port slipcover fitted with seam lines pinned. The material is wrong side out as the welt or cord­ed seams must be stitched from the inside of the cover. Before the seams around the front of the arms are pinned as at A the arm cover edge of the seam must be gathered as at B. It is important to allow just enough material so the arm cover fits easily. The cable cord that is covered with bias material and fitted into the seams to make the welt may be purchased at any notion coun­ ter. The material to cover it must be cut on a true bias and stitched in place as shown here, at C. The cording foot attachment for your machine must be used Sar this stitching so the sewing will come close to the cord. The next step is to either baste or stitch the cov­ ered cord to one edge of the right side of the seam' as shown here at D. Then, using the cording foot again, stitch the seam as shown. Clip the seam edges around curves so they will not draw. It will be necessary to leave an opening in the back to be fastened with snaps. Openings must be arranged on the underside of . the seam cushions as shown here at E.Every Homemaker should have J lsk M e J ln o lh e r 0 A G e n e r a l QaHe , I.

Seems that we could spare some of our Piddlers Aid folks and Federal reliefers to harvest these crops. We know at least one business man —a democrat—who made more money during the Coolidge ad­ ministration than he has made in the past ten years, and yet the de­ mocrats cussed Coolidge during all the years he spent in the White House. Human nature is a per- serve animal after all. President Roosevelt seems to want the automobile manufacturers to quit selling us poor folks cars on credit.

Mr. Hartman says he has served but 2 -terms in this office, having to make the race in 1932 for a 2 year term. He will have served a. total of 10 years since 1926 , when his term expires in December He was elected in 1926 for a 4 year teim. In 1930 he was defeated by C. A Orrell, wbo resigned shortly after being . in stalled^ and W. B Allen was ap­ pointed to serve until the 1932 election. In that election Mr. Hartman was a candidate, and was elected to serve two years until 1934, filling the two remaining years to which Mr, Orrell was elect­ ed in 1930. In 1934 Mr. Hartman was again a candidate to.succeed' himself, and be was elected to serve from December, 1934, to December, 1938. Just what Mr. Hartman is going to do this spring The .

In Ctexicb City, Dona Eulalia, accompanied by her duenna, Angustias, arrives at the em­bassy In response to a letter from her hus­band, Don Pedro. She agrees to go to Cali­fornia. Don Pedro sends for Serra, telling him that two priests are on their way from Mexico with Eulalia and young Pedro and ' that he Is leaving to meet them. Fages en­gages a young Bidian girl, Indizuela1T as maid for Eulalia. Etflalia sails from.San Bias. It is a desolate trip. CHAPTER IV—Continiied . "Ha!” she said again.. “So! This beautiful land sends a scourge of vermin to plague me! Very well. I shall not weep—I shall not weaken. I shall conquer this California—or I will die.” ■ She summoned little Pedro to her, and all afternoon, to the accompani­ ment of a dismal sand-scattering breeze, beguiled his imagination and comforted her desolation with sto­ ries that began, “When I was a lit­ tle giri in ,beautiful Barcelona—” For several days the ancient capi­ tal of Baja California stirred from its. sun-and-sand-smitten lethargy to : prepare La Gobemadora, as they al­ ready called Oona Eulalia, for her long journey to Monterey in Cali­ fornia Alta. But the troubles with stubborn Indians trying to dispose of more stubborn burros, the diffi­ culty in finding and buying satis­ factory riding and pack animals,.the labor of packing and provisioning food, water and clothing for a trip that would endure for months, con­cerned the lady not at all. When at last the long caravan left Loreto, Eulalia was fairly comforta­ ble on a white Spanish jennet. It was a strange assortment of pilgrims which rode away from Lo­ reto that morning at sunrise: La Gobernadora herself, hiding her '■ trepidation beneath a demeanor carefully calm, but unusually pale; small Pedro, triumphant on a burro almost as small as himself; Angus­ tias, her brittle bones boring her flesh agonizingly before Loreto was a mile behind, holding Chichi, the monkey, who was as afraid of the mule as the mule was of him. At the head of the van rode one Capi- tan Canete, serious, troubled by his responsibility, a seasoned traveler and admiring friend of Pedro Pages. There were cooks, mule­ teers, water-tenders, vaqueros, In­ dian runners and bearers, tortilla- makers, woodcutters, soldiers and stragglers. I A little to themselves, heads with­ drawn into the cowls of their Fran­ ciscan robes, two priests rode, their !presence in the expedition an an­ swer to Jwoipero Serra’s prayers. : In the northern reaches of Cgiftv fornia Alta a hurrying party'dfi horsemen followed the flying horse of the Governor of the Califofnias, spurred and lashed-by his rider as 'the rider was spurred and lashed by hot impatience. CHAPTER V Leagues of Eulalia’s journey lay behind; many terrible-leagues trav­ ersed doggedly,' day and night, with heat, dust, thirst, weariness and an awful numbing fear of the unknown that robbed her of rest. When, at the end of a day’s travel, lEulalia lay on her pallet and felt sleep must come, that the blessing of complete oblivion and release from suffering would at last requite her, the blessing was denied. Al­ ways at the moment when she' seemed slipping. into unconscious­ ness, a rude hand gripped her weary heart and shook it cruelly; until her whole body trembled and sweat coldly. During the first nights she wotdd cry out, and creep to little Pedro’s side for comfort, or summon An- igustias to her. Then she grew 'ashamed of her childishness, and ,'only lay the quieter when her fear ‘specter haunted her. I Sitting before her campfire one night at the end of a trying day, she questioned herself. Why had she been persuaded to come on this journey? She, who was bom to lux­ ury, soft cushions and luxurious coaches?Lifting her face she stared at the Are. -“Queen of the Califoniias!” she imuttered bitterly.i Angustias, bustling into the circle 'of light, broke into her rebellious musings.“The two priests are coming to call on you. Dona Eulalia,” she an­nounced. V I Eulalia did not move. > “Yes?” she questioned dully. "Yes, and I think it’s about time. Do you know, nina, I think there; is. something queer about those two. I: have heard—”Eulalia sniffed .asiietuduena, with Chichi in her arms/hupched closer to the fire. : “You would hear gossip on a'des- ert isle, and you the only soul on it,” she remarked, bending her ear, nev­ ertheless, closer to her companion. “I have heard,” continued Angus­ tias, "that there are two people on this journey who are being sent to California as a punishment for their sins, and l wondered . . .” Eulalia flung out her arms dra­ matically. "A punishment for their sins! And I am sent to reap a reward for my virtues! A strange country, this Cal­ifornia, to which, at the same time, people are sent for-punishment and reward!” , Angustias nodded. “Yes, it is. I am wondering who will get what. Sh-h-h, here they come.” Into the light of the fire two brown-clad figures loomed out of the "Greetings, Senora La Gobema­ dora,” said a solemn voice, "I am Ffay Mariano, and this is Fray Bar- tolome, two poor brothers of the . "I See. And Are You Enjoying Tliis Journey?” mendicant.order of San Francisco.” "Greetings to you, good Fathers,” replied Eulalia. “Will you not sit down by my fire?”They disposed themselves on the ground and stared fixedly at the la­ dy. Then they exchanged a long look and nodded. Eulalia was in her turn studying them. They were young for friars, and looked strangely alike, though one, Fray Mariano, looked slightly older. Their tonsures were quite black, and their black' eyes very much alive. But Fray Mariano’s look was direct to the point of im­ pudence, and Fray Bartolome’s glances slid about indirectly. Both iftad sensual mouths, but again with a difference; the lips of one turned up in a sly grin, the other turned down the comers of his mouth with a sanctimonious sneer. They were silent, and Eulalia tried uncomforta­ bly to open a conversation. “You resemble each other very much,” she said. "Are you broth­ ers?” “Ah, no, only brothers in God,” intoned Fray Mariano. “My family name is Rubi1 and Fray Bartolome’s name is Gili.” "I see. • And are you enjoying this journey?” This started a long tirade from Fray Mariano. They decidedly were not. He complained of everything: the escort, the trails, the food, the tents provided for them, their mules, everything: Fray Bartolome' coughed slightly, and gave his companion a nudge, vdiich the skeptical Angustias ob­ served. The other stopped sudden­ ly. “But we are resigned,” he in­ toned. “Yes, we are resigned. It is' God’s will we should make this pil­ grimage, so we do not complain. Do you think we are complaining?" he asked Eulalia anxiously^“If you. do I am sure it is with good cause,” she replied. Later, after the two. Pfiests de-- parted and Angustias was- brushing her mistress’ hair, she--remarked: “I don’t know bow it appears to you, but those do not seem true religious men to me.” "They are strange. I can not un­derstand them, Angustias. Hieir eyes! And how.they stare. Butthey are Franciscans, after all, and must be-. . . but- I don’t understand them. They make-me feel uncom­ fortable, Angustias." CHAPTER VI In the Valley of Comondu, an oa­ sis in the barren heart of Baja Cali­ fornia, La Gobernadora was enter­ tained at Mission -Sam Jose de Co­ mondu, beloved of all travelers, sol­ diers and priests, whor made-the dreary trip up and down the penin­ sula. For days they rested there, refreshed by the-sparkling waters of an abundant stream, and by figs, pomegranates, peaches and dates beneath the dashing fronds of gi­ ant palms. There was. a halt at Santa Rosalia de Mulege, on the Vermillion sea, where there was another old stone mission and fruitful gardens. From there the cavalcade traveled over a horrible wilderness well-named Ti- erra del Infierno, Hell country, which quaked constantly as they traversed its barrenness. By a broad fiat camino/ built many years before by Jesuit mis­ sionaries who had urged hundreds of Indian neophytes to the colossal task , by flogging them when they lagged, they traveled to the Mission San Ignacio, which stood in a fertile arroyo that opened in a barren mesa.Leaving there with water-skins and casks bulging for the desert travel ahead, they traveled north­ward, skirting the eastern edge of the Desert of Vizcaino, a treacher­ ous terrain.At Mission Santa Gertrudis, in a great mountain-girt amphitheater, all gave thanks that they had ar­ rived in.safety, though their water­skins were lean and dry. At Santa Gertrudis, Eulalia heard first rumors of the approach of her husband. Indians coming from the north reported fires that burned by night, and a party of horsemen who traveled swiftly by day. La Gobernadora still rode silent­ ly,. uncomplainingly. It was only her pride that kept her from fling­ing herself from her horse on to the ground, and screaming until the tension that was holding her quiver­ing nerves shattered in a satisfying hysteria. At night, in her tent or by the campfire, she was subject to changing moods ; sometimes gloomy, silent, brooding, sometimes bright with febrile gaiety. Angustias was watching her mis­ tress doubtfully, gauging her tem­ per, her experienced weather eye reading infallible signs that her la­ dy’s nerves were frayed to a break­ing point, and that a hurricane was due to break. . “If she can only wait until we meet Don Pedro,” she prayed. “She needs her husband at a time like this.” The hurricane arrived before the Governor. One evening, just before nightfall, the storm broke. . They had been traveling for days among the lofty Calmalli mountains, that stretch along the waist, or nar­rowest part of the peninsula. Eulalia, shivering as night came on, for now the nights were as cold as the days were hot, rode beside little Pedro. Behind came Angus­ tias, cuddling her monkey as they both dozed. At the head of the van rode the Capitan. Littie Pedro leaned closer to his mother and whispered. Etdalia frowned. "On my soul, child! We can not stop now! Con­ trol yourself.” But the child would not be con­trolled. He stopped his burro, threw the reins toward Angustias, and disappeared in the brush. Angustias, startled from her nap, made a lunge at the reins, missed them and brought her hand sharply against Chichi’s face. The terrified monkey, in turn awakened rudely from his little snoozing, leaped straight for Pedro’s burro, and the burro bolted off the trad. “Chichi!” screamed Angustias, trying to get from her clumsy side­ saddle. "Chichi! Baby!” But the little burro and his detest­ ed frightened burden went careen­ing away in the dusk. - Capitan Canete wheeled to Eula­ lia’s side, just as Angustias slipped on to the dusty trail, screaming and crying. - “My Lady!” exclaimed the Capi­ tan. “What is the matter?" But Eulalia only pointed after her fleeing companion. “Will you help'her?" she asked, struggling for control. “Will you help her to catch that fool little Chichi? He has doped with Pedro’s burro!" “Oh, damn that ape, and damn that ass! Oh, pardon me, Senora— but I—are you all right, my Lady?” . "Yes/ yes, of course. Oh, here die comes!” Out of the dusk came Angustias, trying to hold the monkey which struggled and clawed in furious panic. It had pulled the woman’s gray hair in tatters over her face, and she looked like a witch emerg­ ing from the night. "He doesn’t know me! He is mad from fright! Oh, my little darling, my sugar-plum, you are safe in your mother’s arms. There, there!” The Capitan exploded. . “By the holy bones of Saint Bar­ tholomew, woman! Why didn’t you get the burro? Here you,” to an In­dian, “fetch back that animal.” Grinning, the Indian-loped away. He hated and feared Chichi as the rest of the natives did. Angustias climbed on to her horse again, soothing her weeping treas­ ure. The Capitan heaved a sigh. “ Well,” he said, "are we alt—” But suddenly a piercing shriek came from somewhere, a long high wail that ended in, “Ma-a-a-amal” Eulalia slipped from her jennet. “Pedro, Pedro! What is it! My God—” Before the Capitan could reach .her, she had met the child and had him clasped in her arms. “Mama, look! Look, mama! Al, ai! I am hurt! Ai, ai, ai!” "What has happened? What is it? Do no cry, speak to me!” He held out his hands to her. "Look, cactus! AU the needles ran in me! Ouch, ai, ai, ai!” The Capitan took the child from his mother and set him on bis own knee as he squatted on the trail. “Yes, yes. What happened?” "I was back there—in the bushes —a big black something came after me and I ran, and stumbled into the choUa—ouch, ouch!" His face and arms were swelling from the hundreds of needles that had penetrated his skin, stinging him to agony as he strove to scratch them out. Canete took firm hold of his wrists. "Don’t scratch! Dona Angustias, let down your hair!” Angustias put her hand to her scant gray locks in bewilderment. “But—why?” she stammered. “Because you must help this suf­fering child. Only long hair will draw out cactus thorns. Quickly!” But young Pedro was already en­veloped in a flood of black tresses as his mother’s hair tumbled about him, soothing his stings, and draw­ ing, by some strange attraction, toe needles from his flesh. At last his cries dropped to sobs, and his sobs to whimpers. Then he sniveled softly in Ius mother’s arms. “Now, my brave little man, will you smile at Mother? Poor darling, poor little soldier!” “I want a drink of water,” whim­ pered Pedro. "He wants a drink of water,” said Eulalia to Angustias. “He wants a drink of water,”- said Angustias to toe Capitan. “He wants a—but, by my life, there is no waterl” “No water?” exploded Eulalia. “No water, .Senora. But we are not far from toe Spring of Sapta Maiita. Come. Let us get on our way before it grows darker. Come, my Lady.” Eulalia grew very still. Canete leaned over her and touched her arm to assist her to arise. “Don’t touch me,” she said dan­ gerously. (TO BE CONTimEDJ Interior Blasting of Marble Executed Witiiout Even the Cracking of a Window Fifty blocks of marble, too tough for toe most powerful pavement breakers to dent, were broken up by small charges of explosives without so much as scratching a window pane in an unusual feat of indoor blasting in San Francisco, -notes a writer in the Kansas City Star. Some red, some green, toe marble blocks, left-overs from the construc­ tion of a San Francisco church, were purchased-by a company manufac­turing a marble .composition mate­ rial. The 50 specimens of Irish Con­nemara marble were moved into the company’s premises and-hammers- were applied to break up the stone into chips small enough to go into crusher machines. One hammer after another, each one bigger and heavier than its predecessor, was tried, but all to no ayail. Explosives engineers were called in. They executed ,the feat of blasting toe-blocks to pieces, the blocks remaining, the while in the factory. So skillfully was toe job carried out that no. damage to wim dows only a few feet away resulted. From one to five holes were drilled in each block and unusually small charges of explosive gelatin were placed in toe holes. Electricity was used to set off toe charge. Since it was necessary to keep toe two col­ ors of marble completely separate, first toe green blocks were blasted and thoi, when they were finished, toe red ones. The marble had to be reduced to; chips between one-eighth and three-eighths of an inch in di­ameter. All. holes in each block were fired at toe same time, but only one block was fired at a time. .Wet sand was packed into the holes drilled for toe explosive. Wbistling “Devil’s Music” Arabs call whistling “devil’s mu­ sic.” They say that, after whis­tling, it takes 40 days to purify the mouth..

Mysterious Siwa Just ,an Oasis in Libyan Desavl The inhabitants of Siwa,* mys­terious oasis in the Liiqran desert, whose beehive dwellings, built^ ef mud bricks, rock salt: andstone, and from which ancient. temples rise, tier on tier, sometimes reach­ ing a height of almost 200 feet, first came under Egyptian influence in 1600 B. C. The diety, Jupiter Amon; whose predictions were here'; re? vealed to the suppliant by: the priests of the innermost shrine was a god of oracles. Kings and queens gladly sought his favor. Alexander the Great, hearing that kings in Egypt were considered di- vine, besought the oracle at Siwa in 331 B. C. to defy him. He could then Iqr divine right, as son of Zeus, impose his tyrannies on his: sub-' Jects.' With deep mystery thecere- mony was carried out in the temple by the priests and. Alexander-.was decorated with the' horns of a ram; the sign of Amon the ram-headed, and was invested ms a Pharaoh. He returned to Egypt; stamped'a$ the authentic son of Zeus. CleopUtra personally sought guidance from .the oracle concerning the entangled af­ fairs of her heart and state. ' She came to Swa from Bome after the murder of Julius Caesar, seeking an omen of divine aid. . ; The temple is in ruins, but walls still, reveal the bright blue pigments seen in relief work on the monu­ ments of Egypt. The high, honey-combed, mud- walled town of Siwa is like a fairy castle, built on two .'great rocks -in the center of the oasis. Instead of spreading out their town, the Siwans have built'one house on top of another, and this has been kept up- until they reach' a dizzy height. It is quite custom­ ary for a son to build his house'on the top of the house of his father.

Newport, R. I., a child was run down, by an equestrian and'there was great'pub­ lic indignation. The first vehicle weight law seemed to have been a brain child of Napoleon Bonaparte, for on. May 19, 1802, he proclaimed a law which fixed a precedent toter followed In connection with - commercial , ve­ hicles. It specified,; notes a writer iri the New York' Herald Tribune, that wagons “used for fraction and commerce” be Ibnited to four: and one-half tons U : they bad four wheels, and two and one-half tons if only two wheels.' .

' Draconian Laws In Greeea The Draconianilaws in ancient Greece are noteworthy primarily for their cruelty. The death penalty was attached to almost all crimes, even the petty ones.. This-code-of Draco is said to have made the first legal distinction between voluntary and involuntary homicide and. to have made a murderer liable to pun­ ishment by the state. Theft was made punishable by death and debt exposed a man to the danger of slavery. The 51 ephetae or special Judges were probably Draco’s crea­tion. ■ - Columbus’ View Por|»<BJee .

Everyone knows that farmers have not bad a bed of roses for seve­ ral years, and many of them- are sorely ipressed at present in spite of the numerous-legislative acts des­ igned to aid them. . Still, regardless of tbe difficult 'es of their general situation, there may be found in nearly every community Of farmers who have made 'progress or who have at least held their own even during the depression. These, it is needless, to say, are men who really know !arming, and plan their operations in an intelligent manner. A leading banker in the North­ west, -after checking up a large number of farmers in his community has come to the conclusion that farm failures are largely'due to lack of experience on the part of ’ those who failed• -He found that among those who have beeU-least successful ire a number of persons win do pot belong on the farm, and lists a few as follows: .

Many writers lifee to compare modern youth with the young people of/a few generations ago. Some find young people of today better and some/'find them ^orse than the youngsters of our grandfather’s day. Thishabit of comparing, which is as Old aid time; is rather unfair to’ both we o f today and the youth of yester­ day./';'' /; . Youth, like the cotton market, is governed-by times’ hnd conditions. When times and cpnditions are good, the cotton, market/ is good. When times and' conditions' are poor. Like­ wise. when tbe general trend of the country is in one/ particular- direc­ tion, whether good or bad, that is the.direction most youths will fol­ io*. If the trend is for good, than our youngsters. rise to high stand­ ards and become conquers and have a. tremendous following. If, how­ ever,, the trend is for bad, the youth becomes our greatest problem and criTcern. 'Today, the country is very much concerned over the great number of crimes being committed b y tbe young’people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. Tbis crimi­ nal trend baa broaden so much in re- ceiit, .years that it now actually threatens the progressive destiny of our nation. This year we find scores of young men in every great prison, many in the shadow of the electric chair, having committed crimes that brings the death penalty. Many more are, at a very early age. facing long years behind the grim walls and steadfast barsof prison, slowly pay­ ing for .. their hastily committed crime.; ' Where.restthe responsibility for the. predominance of youth in criini nal offenses? ; Qertainly not upon the religions institutions of the land: all of which tedcb upright life and whose minist­ ers are always ready, and dCsieous of pointing out the right pathway of life to the young. / -' Is the fault in the homes? Nanyt ministers of the gospel have sorintimated; judges pf juvenile courts, amaxed at; tbe preponder­ ance of crimal offense on the part'of odoiescent youth, have placed tbe entire-responsibility upon parents, who neglect early training of the children./ Many other persons, in a position’to . observe tbe conductJof young people, firmly insist that the combination of whisky and automc- oilto causes of large per centoge of youth’s lawlessness.- It is trpe;' many parents, of this age place'the wrobg picture their children,, when they, themselves, d<- Uberately disrespect the feelings and property of the neighbors in thp pre- sence of their youngsters In such homes theuhildreU when very young start emulating their parents’ habit of Shunhing the Golden Rule. This minor ommittance will Bometime Itod to indifferences and disobedi­ ences of the law of the land tmd later/the luckless youth find himself behind prison walls. In that case its the parents fault, but all parents arn’t that way. ’ '/: / Whisky and automobile, too, has played a very important role, in the IifeSf many young men who (are now looking at the. world from (be­ hind prison bare. That great /na­ tional calamity the repeal of the eighteenth amendment—has brought on a'tremendous’number of arrests mong. / the young boVs who’are cSught trying to operate an automo- hilewfaile in a liquor stupor. Once thU youth has a “criminal record, Ovenv If- It iB only- an intoxication charge. i he has actually begun-' his descend down the: pathway of ^ wrong doing and his one offense, has so greased :tbe way, ahead that he is veryJikely to slide rapidly into many tndjti^eftfcus crimeq with an equally serous consequence;’ -’ZHl&futile to exclaim at existing COndI^bB^unless we ■ recognize /the underlying cause of those condition aud'Seeka to remedy them. OfcoUree there is plenty the modern parents can do to improve the domestic es mronmento. and the mixing of alco­ hol and gasoline is ruining young lives, but-we can’t blame our crime wave entirely Upon tbe neg­ lectfulness of our parents, the speed of tiie automobile or Ihe stupor caused by the. liquor. / There could be named several underlying causes .of the-predomin­ ance of youth in crime, and there could likewise be many remedies of­ fered. Ooe great cause, perhaps the main cause, of the crime wave a- roong our youths' is the expensive habit’we Americans have of never being satisfied. We are victims of rapidly changing styles and designs. Articles we use in our daily lives seldom reach middle age. They are usually obsolete long before they are worn out. -Our automobiles; radios, clothes, fountain pei», alarm clocks and rocking chairs we discord the minute a ne w sty led hub cap a spe­ cial decorated dial, a new fangled crop of buttons, a newly designed pmi bolder, a different shaped alarm system or a new arm design arrives on the market. , . . ' Thisrapid change all" around us means progress, if we can afford to keep up with the times Most of us can’t and the youth is certainly no exception. His desire to be, rnoderb and bis efforts to krep up with the crowd is a very heavy' strain on bis honesty. That is one cause of youths’ lawlessness. Tbe main point is, the remedy. In fairness to all ' there is really only otie true remedy and that leaves the entire task to the youth himself The young people of today are too ad­ vanced in social matters to plead ignorant of his wrong doings, but he may fully, may not fully understand tbat the only way to eliminate the crime way among .the young is by the youths of America discovering that our laws, are for .the better­ ment and safety of our country and shouldbeduly respected. They moBt Iearnthat for success in .any cam­ paign of life tbe threC simply, but great, policies must al ways be: Hard work, honest dealings'. and modera­ tion of habits! -T-' If every young; man sincerely grooves, his future; with the above three virtues he will break the chains of times and. conditions that controls him and he’ll climb to the highest standard American; manboood has ever reached during the history of our country And the walls of tbe great prisons that how confine many hopeless young Iawbrtokers will soon crumble from neglect.

In Mexico City, Dona Eulalia, accompanied by her duenna, Angustias, arrives at the em­bassy in response to a letter from her hus­band,'Don Pedro. She agrees to go to Cali­fornia. Don Pedro sends ior Serra, telling him that two priests are on their way from Mexico with Eulalia and young Pedro and that he is leaving to meet them. Fages en­gages a young Indian girl, Mdizuela, as maid for Eulalia. Eulalia sails from San Bias. It is a desolate trip. From Uie port of Loreto, a large cavalcade loaded with Eu­lalia’s party starts out for the long overland trip. Eulalia, accustomed to luxury and comfort, bitterly regrets having been per­suaded to come. The two priests, Fray Mariano and Fray Bartolomeo, call on her and arouse her suspicions as to their genu- .inecess. As the cavalcade stops at various missions, Eulalia hears rumors of the ap­proach of her husband. CHAPTER VI—Continued “But, my Lady, allow me—” “Keep your hands off me, sir!

Now I WiU go no farther.”The Capitan gripped his hands. “But we have no water here, no food—no provisions for the night! We can not stay here. Up, Senora, come, come! This is serious." Eulalia settled herself firmly on the ground. “Serious! I should say it was se­rious. No water—no food! Is that my fault? Is it my duly to see the skins and casks are filled? Did I send the provisions ahead so that we should be without food?" I She tossed her hair out of her eyes and glared at him. , “Look at me! Look at me! Di­ sheveled, dirty, hungry, thirsty, .weary, and no place to lay my head! And it is your fault! Ah, wait until I tell his ExcellenQr the Gov­ ernor how you have treated me! Leading me into this, and offering no relief except riding mote and more miles to some spring which no doubt will turn out to be a dry •ne! You are responsible!” Canete’s dignity was touched. >“Senora, it was certainly not I that suggested tills, trip. It is no pleasure jaunt to me, I assure you. It was only at the earnest solicita­ tions of the Viceroy himself, in be­ half of my friendship with your hus­ band the Governor, that I undertook it.” “Nevertheless, you are responsi­ ble; you and the Viceroy—and, the King himself!” Sheclenchedherhandsandbeat them on her breast. “I- wish his Excellency the Vicfr roy'Mayorga, and his Majesty the King of Spain could be here, in my place. If they’re so anxious to make California a colony, why don’t they come here themselves? Let them have the dirt and heat and thirst and cactus and rattlesnakes! ,Would' they want it then? Would they call California the brightest jewel in the diadem of Spain?” She stamped her feet. “No! No! They would say, as I do, ‘My God, is this California? Let the Indians have it, or England, or whoever wants it!’ That’s what they would say! And yet they let me, a poor, defenseless woman sacrifice herself to make California a crown jewel!” Her voice reached a hysterical pitch. “California, Spain’s brightest jew­ el! Her choicest possession!” she mimicked ironically. Then her voice broke. “Spain’s rotten egg!" she screamed, and leaned sobbing against her saddle. By this time the whole cavalcade was- milling around the spot. . Angustias stepped into the breach. She smoothed her mistress’ hair, ar­ ranged a scarf over it, patted the heaving shoulders and whispered meaningless, affectionate, comfort­ ing words. Then she turned to Ca- nete. “I think you can help my lady to mount now,” she- said. As the Capitan stooped to take the lady’s foot in his hand he noticed the moonlight play a strange trick with Angustias’ face. It almost seemed that she winked. To make sure he gave the duena a Eft into her own saddle. “Thank you, sir,” she said grim­ ly.. Then, “You are a'gentleman, ,sir, .,but you need a firmer hand." Some tune later they rode into- the camp at SSanta MartitaL and . found it in a great state of excitfr ment. Far, far below them a pillar of fire blazed against the dark night, blazed; and-faltered and blazed again. Young Pedro riding before Ca- nete, as . the burro had not been ,found, shivered. . “Indians?” he asked. “Bad Indi­ ans?” ' - , • : Then they heard running Jeek Three Indians, naked except for breech-douts, panting and shining, entered the camp and stood before the fire. “El Capitan, which is he?” they asked. “I , am he. What is your mes­ sage?” “Senor, EI Gobemador, Don Pe­ dro Fages, is camped a day’s jour­ ney from here. Hissmokeisyimder in the valley. He sent .us to find you, and bid you hasten.” Capitan Canete heaved a great sigh of relief. ' “Praise God!” he murmured de­ voutly. Then he detailed three oth­ er Indians from his train to make all haste to the Governor’s camp. “Tell him we will be with him by nightfall tomorrow,” he said. He looked around at the drawn face of the Governor’s lady. “And tell him all in my expedition are well, happy, and enjoying the trip!"- he added. CHAPTER VH -Pedro Fages listened to the re­ port of Capitan Canete’s Indians and dismissed them that they might eat and rest after their all-night jour­ ney. Striding to the-spring,- the Gover­ nor splashed face and head; smoothed his hair with his fingers and wrung his beard. Then, cup­ ping both hands to mouth, he whooped until the silent morning rang and echoed. “Rise,' my children!" Rise and greet the sun! Rise and say your prayers, and hear the tidings! To- Indians Were Dispatched Inte the Canon tor Deer. : night there will arrive hare the cav­ alcade of Capitan Canete . . . Rise, beggars, vagabonds!” - Curiosity overcame laziness, and soon the camp was buzzing with an­ ticipatory preparations. The arrival of Cimete meant news from home; letters, messages from Spain and Mexico. It meant a fiesta, for there were.women in the Capitan’s train, surely the Governor’s lady would bring maids! Don Pedro moved with dynamic energy. His eyes glowed,-ids step was tight, his energy boundless and, his orders legion. Indians were dispatched into the canons for deer, quail, rabbit, ante­lope. Others gathered wood and piled a mighty pyre on the beach. At last the Governor, having as­ signed to each his task, turned to one he would entrust only to him­ self. A large round tent Which had re­ mained rolled and packed on the journey, had been pitched some dis­ tance away from the camp. He en­ tered it, and almost fell over a tiny Indian boy, naked as a /rabbit, brown as a berry, with wild, bright eyes. ■ “Ah, Escabelfito! Lazy little one, begone ' and eat : thy tortillas! Wouldst sleep all day?” Tbe child scampered toward the cooking fire, and the Governor went to work with the happy expression of a man performing a-labor of love. He began opening^ bundles that had been a mystery on the trip as they had' never been opened, and. had taxed the pack-animals torthe ears. There were bright blankets ofln. dian weave,, supple- serapes, in gay colors, skins of mountain liop, wild­ cat and--.bear,- robes of' otter and rabbit;': These he.:■ spread on .the ground until it was covered, ar­ ranging and rearranging until their disposal suited his fancy.. And as he-worked he sang a littie soldier’s song beneath 'h^s breath. . • Eulalia had seen a painting of a lady of the French court dressed in a green - velvet riding habit, with volurninous draped skirt, tight: fit­ ting basque trimmed in rich cream lace, .on -her head a saucy velvet hat with a nodding, sweeping plume. A ^ rooned in Mexico City, had copied the costume for Eulalia. But she had been hustled away into exile, and one of.her regrets, at. leaving was that she had never worn the green velvet habit. Neverthe­ less it was packed in a leather trunk, which Angustias had marked with-a greeh cross in a circle. And when the Governor of California greeted his lady wife he wotdd see, not a bedraggled, travel-stained pil­ grim in dusty black, her head cov­ ered with a rebozo tike a Mexican peasant woman, but a real lady of high degree, her. velvets green against a white jennet, her proud head high with nodding plumes. And jeweled— ,Ah, yes! She would wear her em­ eralds; of course. The heavy gold- set necklace, the long earrings, the massive ring on her first finger. Yes, the green was a happy thought; green velvet and gems set off a skin that is white:and daz­ zling— Capitan Canete rode ahead, his perspiring brow furrowed with anx­ iety. By all the saints, this was the worst day of the entire journey! A narrow trail zigzagged down the side of a mountain which seemed to bulge over the sea, thousands of feet below; a tortuous, treacherous trail, so narrow it was necessary for the cavalcade to travel in single file, and so winding, the animals had al­ most to bend themselves double at some turns. ' When his thoughts permitted him, he admired the Governor’s lady, rid­ ing so calmly behind him, with nev­ er an outcry or even a gasp of fear as her trembling horse avoided the ever present side-winder rattle­ snakes, and picked its way among rolling pebbles where a misstep would send horse and rider plunging to death down the mountainside into the ocean lapping hungrily be­ low. What a woman! And after that scene of last night. / But the ^lady’s head was full of other things: the green velvet habit, the jewels that lay dark in the tittle' case strapped to her jennet, only waiting a gleam of tight to malm them -leap and glow tike green flames against her white skin. Tonight she would see her husband again. Would he be the same? Would he look the same? She could picture him in armor and plumed helmet tike the great conquistador, Cortez; or in rich velvets like the gentlemen of the viceregal court, or as the Governor of the Catifornias, sur­ rounded by bowing attendants. But no extension of her imagina­ tion could show Pedro Fages as he actually was, a bluff soldado de cuera. Early in the California cam­ paigns he and his tough little com­ pany of Catalonian volunteers had adopted cuirasses of hide, and had immediately been dubbed, “the leather jackets”—soldados de cuera. And Don Pedro, though he had risen from a humble lieutenant of the Cat­ alonian volunteers to the governor­ ship of the Catifornias, was still only a soldado de cuera and wore his cuirass on all expeditions. His skin was tanned to the color of his jack­ et, his beard grizzled, his face lined. Poor lady! How could her imagi­ nation stretch to such imaging! As evening approached the trail twisted between two great arms of the mountain that opened to the Vermillion sea, and led gradually into an arroyo. After a consultation with the In­ dian guides, Capitan Canete turned to the lady. “It is only several, hours from here to the camp of his Excellency, and if you wish to stop and refresh yourself before going farther I will withdraw and send the - bearers ahead.” “I will gladly avail myself of the opportunity. You are very kind,” said Eulalia with a smile that wiped out all the calumnies of the night before. “So kind that I will ask you to. get me one chest from my belongings — a large iron-studded chest—marked with a green' cross in a circle.” Canete looked at the chests and boxes 'strapped on the weary bur­ ros and opehed his 'mouth. But Eu­lalia smiled again. 1 The captain approached the ani­ mals, searched carefully, then called an Eidian who carried the trunk to the lady. Then the. train moved on out of sight down the can­ yon. Eulalia and Angustias unfastened the great lock with tittle laughing cries of anticipation. Slowly Angus­ tias lifted out a garment, and shook it. It was not velvet, and it was not green. Eulalia gasped. 'Grimly the duena began throwing things out of the chest on to the ground until it was strewn with gar­ments. But the riding habit was not among them. And ,the pack-ani­ mals were out of sight and sound. Angustias looked fearfully at her mistress whose Up trembled. “What shall I do? Oh, Angustia*, what shall I do? I had set my heart on that green velvet!” Angustias braced herself. She could cope with the situation when her lady wept. It-was only the cold tearless storms that baffled her. She turned to the scattered garments. “Ai, God be praised! Nina; look! This is perfect! here .is the tittle Maja. costume. The sweetest, pret­ tiest, most becoming thing you ever had! I haven’t laid eyes on if since I left’ Spain—God bless the place.” “Let me see that dress, Angus­ tias.” The woman held it up. “Yes, it is charming. I suppose there is nothing else to do. But how you could make such a mistake in the chests, Angustias, I don’t know.- And I had set my heart on the—” “Ah, this is better. Much better. The green would- not be so becom­ ing to you now since you have grown so tanned—so bonny and brown!” she . amended hastily as she heard a snort from the lady. “Yes, yes, it is all here, even the little buckled shoes and, the rede- cilla. Come, nina, let us get this on you before i t . grows too dark to see what we are doing.”' Eulalia permitted herself to be dressed, at first submitting in sulky silence, then growing interested and at last enthusiastic as the charm­ ing tittle Maja costume was fitted to her. As she fussed, Angustias talked volubly. Eulalia spoke briskly. “Come how, woman, how do I look?” She pulled her little jacket over her bosona and turned slowly around. The tiny fitted jacket was of red with a littie white lace collar, and puffs of golden-colored embroidery over the shoulders tike epaulettes; the long close-fitting sleeves broke at the wrists with another puffing of satin, then tapered over her hands. A row of jeweled buttons followed , the curves of her breast. The gay . garment terminated in a short waistline with charming tittle tabs, the one directly in back stick­ ing jauntily out tike a drake’s tail. This she wore over a full sldrt of many breadths of White satin cov­ ered by an overskirt of embroidered tulle that fell just short of her an­ kles and the buckled shoes. Her hair, except for a few waves in front, was concealed by the rede- cilla, typical of the Maja, a knitted cap ending in a long queue and a tassel.Angustias gazed at her in satis­ fied admiration. “Lovely, lovely nina. You know you never looked more beautiful. How pleased Don Pedro will be!” (TO BE CONTINUED) Finds Parasite That Destroys Black Widows' Eggs; May Control the Creature Spread of the black widow spider may soon be controlled by the labo­ ratory propagation of a rare and tiny parasitic fly that preys on the egg sae of the spider, writes George Elwood Jenks in Nature Magazine. The fly, known to science as Gat- rax araneae, was discovered in Los Angeles about 40 years ago, but ap­ parently was forgotten until Jenks rediscovered it in the spider’s egg sacs. Nature has checks .-on the undue increase of many creatures in the form of parasites, and it is this minute fly that controls the black widow. Probably assisted by settlement, however, the black wid­ ow has been increasing in numbers despite the activities of Gaurax. : The spider spins her sac about the eggs, she deposits and remains on guard throughout the incubation period; . but it sometimes happens the parasite evades her watchful eyes and succeeds in laying its own eggs on the surface of the sac. These eggs soon-hatch, and the tiny , maggots, : provided with instinc­ tive. knowledge. at birth, a t' once bore through the: tough-walls of the egg sac to feast on the eggs within. Jenks has experimented in an at­ tempt to propagate this parasite, and has succeeded in raising several thousand under artificial conditions. The main problem at present is the preparation of a synthetic food for the larval flies that will substitute for the egg sacs of the spider. When this problem is solved, he believes it will be possible to propagate the parasites in insectaries by the mil­ lion for widespread distribution and thus check the increase of the black widow. Passenger Pigeons Nnmerous , Passenger pigeons roamed all America when white men first came here, says the Washington Post. The Indians killed the birds, but only full-grown ones. So fat were the pigeons the Indians melted--them down,-used them as lard and butter. The tiirds flew in huge flocks of- as many as a billion. Their roosts in Kentucky and Indiana were often 40 miles. wide and 3 miles long. They, sometimes -made 100 nests in a tree. ■ CEW-YOUR-OWN spells economy and a better wardrobe for all the family, as these patterns indicate.

I Legislation to au­ thorize the , expendi­ ture of $800,000,000 in naval . construq- tioii L was introduced uninediatelirinbotlt, v thetfliouse and.sen­ ate, and steps were taken to provide the additional^ require­ ments of: the army. It was predicted the Carl Vinson house would pass the expansion bill by the middle of; February. . Chairman Carl Vinson of Georgia' called together his house navaL af­ fairs committee and began hearings on the measure, certain that ,it. would be reported favorably with little delay.The President in his message rec­ ommended:That the present naval building program be increased 20 per cent. That congress authorize two ad­ ditional battleships and two cruisers during 1938. That congress authorize $8,800,000 for additional anti-aircraft equip­ ment.That congress provide for better establishment of an enlisted reserve for the army.That congress legislate to prevent profiteering in war-time and to equalize the burdens of possible war.Among his recommendations the President also included appropria­ tions for experimental smaller ves­ sels; for army ammunition and for the manufacture of army equip­ ment.Opposition, to the bill in.the house was expected to corne from certain members from the middle western states. Tinkham of Massachusetts also didn't like the program, saying it was one of offense, not defense, and that the President was prepar­ ing to get the United States into the LeagueofNations. Senators Vandenberg of Michigan and Frazier of. North Dakota de­ manded that Mr. Roosevelt make public the foreign policy he expects to follow behind increased arma­ ments.—•*— New Fleet Commander Adm iral claude charles BLOCH, new commander of the United States fleet, assume^ his duties at San Pedro, Calif., replac­ ing Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn. In the colorful ceremonies Admiral Bloch made-a brief address.saying: “I wish to emphasize to the of­ ficers and men of the fleet that our only justification for being is to be ready to fight.“We have fine ships and, knowing you men as I do, I know that you will continue your hard work and unselfish devotion to duty so that our navy always will be ready and second to none.’* —'*— U.S. Avoids Entanglement O EPRESENTATIV ES of Great 1» Britain, France and Russia in the League of Nations council meet­ ing in Geneva were ready to adopt a resolution to aid China by send­ ing her war munitions, but awaited the co-operat|pn.. .,j0f ... the. United States. The scheme was proposed' to Washington informally, and was as informally rejected after Presi-. dent Roosevelt had conferred with Secretary Hull and others, Mt. Hull indicated our policy would not be changed and that America would take no leadership in aiding China. Turn of LiHle Business /"»ALLED to Washington from all parts of the counter by Secre­ tary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper, some 500. representatives of "little business” undertook to formulate' a re­ covery program for submission, to Pres­ ident Roosevelt. Mr. Roper and his as­ sistant, E rn est Draper, took part in' the preliminary dis­ cussions, and since the President could not receive all of them a small com­ mittee. ..was named to take their pro­ posals to the White House. According to reports from the capital, the President desires legis­ lation for federal financing of small industries to stimulate business. This would require the creation of a new government agency unless the power were granted..to the Re- construction.-Finance corporation. Three chief complaints of 'the' small business; mep are:. : L .

The transfer was made at San Pedro, Calif. sehting-increasing hazards to their successful operations. Congress and the administration already’ are busy with steps to cor­ rect these alleged abuses. Big Business Scared Again M EANWHILE big business—and the country generally—was discussing with considerable’ appre­ hension the declaration by the Pres­ ident that industry must reduce prices and at the same time keep wages up. An immediate -result was the crash of prices on the stock exchanges, the decline reaching as high v as: Vk ; points. ■ Commodities declined in sympathy with stocks. 1Tf industries reduce wages this winter and spring,” the President said at his press conference, “they will be deliberately encouraging the withholding of buying—they will be fostering a downward spiral and they will make it necessary for their government to consider other means of !creating purchasing pow­ er.” Many congressmen, Democrats as well as Republicans, took issue with Mr. Roosevelt’s logic and eco­ nomics, pointing out that industries lack the resources to keep wages up on a falling market because their funds have been depleted by the un. distributed profits tax. — ' Row Qver Coal Prices TLlINIMUM prices ..for coal and marketing regulations'fixed by the national bituminous coal com­mission have aroused a storm of complaints. Resentment was espe­ cially strong in Illinois, which, though ranking third among soft coal producing states, is not repre­ sented on the commission. Six coal companies started court action in Chicago to restrain en­ forcement of the price schedule, and Chicago itself contemplated similar action. The cities of Rochester, N. Y.; Cleveland, Ohio; and St. Louis, Mo., complained of high and unfair coal rates and appealed to the courts to suspend the commission’s orders.. —*— Demdcrat In Stiewer's Seat GOV.

Chronologically, as the astronomers would put it, it was like this: Freiderich Georg Wilhelm Struve was a studious German youth who wanted to be an astronomer, but lacked opportunity for study.

The ship was homeward bound to Russia. The czar' was a patron of astronomy. The young man was encouraged and became not only director of the observatory of the University of Dorpat, but one of the founders of modem astronomy, with Herschel andBi$sel. His sons and grandsons became famous astronomers and it is his great-grandson, Dr. Otto Struve, who, with his assistants at Yerkes observatory of the University of Chi­ cago at Wflliams Bay, Wis., discov­ ers the facts about Elpsilon Aurigae. He is director of the observatory. He arrived here in 1921, after fight­ ing with the white armies in Russia and fleeing to Turkey with their col­ lapse. He became director of Yerkes observatory five years ago at the age of thirty-four. ’ • • « IN THE new movie, “Hollywood Hotel,” Bennie Goodman, trump­ eter. and swingster, again demon­ strates'that he gets all the college trade.-- The' boys ,Grant-Iron whinny with ex- MimeMahee citement at Mr. Kids Whinny Goodman’s ^ most off-hand toot.

The-origin of “God Save the King” has bhen wrapped in mystery for centuries. It was first sung by Harry Carey at a dinner to cele­ brate the capture of Portobello by Admiral -Vemon in 1740, according to Pearson’s London Weekly. Carey admitted authorship of the words, but refused to commit himself about the. music. The song achieved in­ stant success on the wave of patri­ otism that followed the declaration of Bonme Prince Charlie , as kmg. English citizens sang it everywhere as a retort in favor of the legitimate monarch, and it was first sung in the presence' of the, monarch, at Drury Lane in September, 1745..

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Working With Others lor ChristYOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Comradeship In Christian Service. “God can save a man who is all alone on the top of the Alps.” So. spoke one who sought to discourage another who wanted to give'. his' life for Christian service. No one questions that God could thus carry on His work in sovereign power, and that there are times when He does that very thing. But ordinarily God works through men. It was “the sword of the Lord, and of Gideon” (Judges 7:18). What a glorious, inspiring truth it is that God calls men into compan­ ionship with Him for service. Sinful and weak though they be they may become strong and holy, and do valiant service for-Him. I. The Need of Christian Workers (w . 7-11). Although the hostility to Christ was growing apace among the relig­ ious leaders, the people thronged about Him in the hope they might have deliverance from the devil and from disease. The need was so great that the Lord Jesus now prepared to call those whp were to be His fellow-servants. The multitudes are in just as des­ perate need of Christ and of the ministry Df His church today. Why, then, do they not crowd the churches and press in around His servants? That is the question over which leaders of the church are puzzled. There may be many reasons, but we suggest two' as being at least worthy of careful thought. The first is that we live in a time of apostasy. In the time of Christ men had only begun to hear His message of de­ liverance: In our day men 'have heard and' heard again and have hardened their-hearts. Another reason is that in many, perhaps most, instances, the church has so far separated itself from the Lord that it has no power. Needy men are not interested in the dead observance of religious forms. They want to see the workings of the power of the Most High God! Whether men know their need or not, whether they throng our churches or not, their very need of Clwist should impel us to serve the Master in reaching them. The love of Christ should constrain us. * H. The CaU to Christian Work (w . 12-lSi. Much might be said at this point but we must limit ourselves to two thoughts. Note that the Lord chooses his own!.workers; we do not choose to- work for Him. Then be en­ couraged by the fact that He chose men of widely differing gifts, tem­ peraments, and personal character­ istics. Then we note that He called some of unusual ability, others with little ability; some learned, and some uhleamed—fishermen, a tax-gather­ er, and others of various occupa­ tions. Note that none were by pro­ fession preachers. .What a comfort it is to those who are in Christian work to remember that it is not what we are or may have been that counts; it is what Christ is and what he can do through us! m . Preparation for Christian Work-fw. -31-35). Gbd has many ways to prepare His servants—but it seems that they all experience the heart-break­ing disappointment of misunder­ standing and the heart-warming joy of intimate fellowship with the Lord. Look at verse 21 and you will realize that the family and friends of Jesus thought He was crazy be­cause He devoted Himself so whole­ heartedly to the service of His Fath­ er. Ts it not strange that if a man becomes a scientist he is honored if he ruins his health in zealous re­search? If he.is a business man he may burp the-lights late in the pursuit of wealth, but if he chooses to give his life to the greatest of all occupations open to man—serv­ ice for Christ—his friends and rela­ tives try to deter him by calling him a fanatic. . Beautiful beyond words is the.oth- er side of our picture. Those who serve Him are “to be with Him” (v. 14). He sends them forth to preach, and gives them power. Yes, they even-become the members of the most intimate family. circle. “Behold . ... my brethren” (v. 34).

First, Calotabs are one of the most thorough and dependable of ^all intestinal elimi- nants, thus cleansing the intestinal tract of the virus-laden mucus and toxins. Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the blood.

Even though you may have beds of good, rich soil, th?re are some flowers that will not do as well in it as they might in poorer soil, according to Gilbert Bentley, flower expert. The most satisfactory flowers for soil that is generally poor are nasturtium, love-lies-bleeding, Jo­ seph’s coat, celosia, alyssum, Cal­ ifornia poppy, calendula, love-in- a-mist and hollyhock. Zinnia, petunia, portulaca, snap­ dragon, stock, heliotrope; mari­ gold and salvia do best in a rich soil.Soil that is heavy and contains clay is good for sweet peas, pan­ sies, snapdragons, and most of the popular perennials. In gen­ eral, a heavy soil retains more moisture and is cooler than a light soil. Plants that like a heavy soil also like cool, moist weather. 2-WAY RELIEF FOR THE MISERY OF COLDS IEUCVEt- THBMT M il— MWRESS The speed with which Bayer tab­lets act in relieving the distressing symptoms of colds and accompany­ing sore throat is utterly amazing . . . and the treatment is simple and pleasant.

STAR DUST MargaretSullavan *★ ★ ★ ★ ★ *★ ********★ ** ★ ★★★' J JMLovie • S laJio * ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE**$ JAMES CAGNEY has patched up his quarrel with Warner Brothers and Margaret Sulla- van has made peace with the Universal company, which is good news to all the admirers who have missed them. Cagney will be rewarded with the very best story Warners own, the great New York stage hit “Boy Meets Girl." It is a rollicking story, about two Hollywood scenario writers, and if all of Cag­ ney’s requests are granted, he wiU have Pat O’Brien playing his partner in foolish antics. Miss Sullavan will play in "The Road to Reno.” That leaves Jean Arthur the only major at­ traction who is still feuding with her company, Columbia, and staying off the screen in revolt. However, Ann Sothern has parted company with R K O and Barbara Stanwyck is suspended from the pay roll because they refused to play in a picture called “Distant Fields." Felix Knight, who sang recently on the MetrojHditan auditions, is be­ ing hailed as the greatest discovery of the year,' but Hollywood claims that they discovered him some two years ago. He sang the juvenile lead in “Babes in Toyland,” the Bal Boach film, and has sung in opera in the Hollyirood Bowl. Mo­ tion picture tans win be interested to know that this thrilling young ten­ or was recently married to the daughter ot Alioe Joyce. “It’s All Yours,” the new Colum­ bia film, starring Madeleine Carroll and Francis Lederer, turns out to be all- Mischa Auer’s. Beauty and romantic interest just cannot com­ pete with the utter nonsense that this tragic-faced Russian puts over so hilariously.

Lesson for February13 CONSERVING THE SABBATH FOB MAN LBSSOM TCXT-Mark 2:2W:S.GOLDEN TEXT--And He said unto them, (be Sabbath was made tor man—Mark 2:27. PRIMABY TOPIC—God’s Holy Day. ■ JUNIOR TOPIC—God’s Holy Day. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPKX —What Shall I Do on Sunday?YOUNG PEOPLE. AND ADULT TOPIC— Using the Sabbath Ior the Wbole Man. “A man’s soul is in a bad state When he begins to regard man-made rites and ceremonies as things of superior importance and exalts them above the preaching of the gospel. It is a symptom of spiritual disease. Therei is mischief within. It is too often the recourse of an uneasy conscience . . . No wonder St. Paul said to the Galatians, ‘Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed on you la­bor in-vain.’ ” These are the com­ ments of John Charles Kyle, Lord Bishop of Liverpool, oh the lesson of today. The formalists of Christ's day, the Pharisees, had overlooked the heart of God’s law and the holy living which it was intended to. produce,, and had bound up even the ob­ servance of the Sabbath (which was intended to be a day of rest and gladness) in such a mass of . tech­nical “thou shalt nots” that it was a day of fear. They had a false outward profession of worship and had entirely missed the true spir­ ituality of God’s law, a fact which drew upon their heads the anger and rebuke of our Lord. While we as Christians do not ob­ serve the Jewish Sabbath, there are principles of doctrine and life bound up in this lesson concerning the Sab­ bath which we may with profit ap­ ply to our day of rest—the first day of the week—the resurrection day, often called “the Lord’s Day.” I. False Spirituality Unmasked. The two incidents in our lesson reveal that under the cloak of ear­ nestly observing the law of the Sab­bath the Pharisees were actually covering their own hypocrisy and their hatred for Christ. The accusations against Ithe dis­ ciples because they had taken and eaten grain was not on the ground that they had stolen, for the law (Deut. 23:25) guaranteed that right to the one who had passed through his neighbor’s field. They contend­ ed, however, that the disciples had worked on the Sabbath in picking and hulling the grain. The healing of the man ,with the withered arm revealed that back of their professed concern for the Sab­ bath was a real hatred for Christ. It is an'appalling thing that in the house of worship on the very Sab­ bath day these men, outwardly, so religious, were plotting against our Lord. “They watched him;” and even so the enemies of the cross watch us who are- his- followers. n. True Spirltnality Defined. Jesus cuts across human hypoc­ risy and hatred to declare that the true keeping of the Sabbath is to do the work of God. No work of neces­ sity (like plucking the grain) or of mercy (like healing the withered arm) is ever out of place on the day of rest. How shall we know what we may do on the Lord’s, Day? Two guid­ ing principles appear in our lesson. (I) Know and follow God’s Word. Note the use that Jesus made of it in verses 25 and 26. No man will misuse the Sabbath or the Lord’s Day who understands God’s Word and obeys it. (2) Live in accord­ ance with the spirit of the Lord JesusJ When tradition stood in the way of the best interests of man, He broke with tradition. If He could do good on the Sabbath He did it. A word of caution is needed,-for some have sought to interpret this lesson as providing biblical ground for doing all sorts of things on their day of rest'. That day is for man’s good, not for his destruction. His greatest good is served by rest, wor­ ship, spiritual development, Chris­ tian fellowship, and the doing of deeds of necessity and mercy.' m . Bighteons .IndigDatiini Mani­ fested. Our Lord rightly showed Hls holy anger (v. S) against his hardheart­ ed critics... He .was the Holy One who did not, permit Hls-JUiger to go beyond its proper expression. - Man, it must be confessed, seldom is able to control and direct -even- his righteous indignation. But there is such a thing as being angry without sin (Eph. 4:26), and one could some-) times wish that God’s children' could be moved to. a holy anger against all sin and unrighteousness/ ' Comforting Word This is a comforting, word of Scripture which presents Christ as a shepherd whose sheep had strayed. ■ : God’sOrace , Think what the grace of God is like.

By EXMO SC drt WATSON ' 6 WeoternNewspapef OnSbn Mapy Ladies’ Man PUGENE FIELD took special de- Ught in tormenting' Edward S. Bok, because Bok, who'was a bach­ elor;^ was editor of--rthe • Ladies?, Home., Journal. ,That apparent In- consisteincy 'was amusing te the poet and Iiuinorist.: . v ' ■.One day her InseHed in tfee news columns of theChicagoDaily Nevs a notice of' Bok1S engagement to Miss' Lavhiia Pinkham, granddaugh­ ter ofM rs. Lydia Pinkham of pat­ ent medicine fame. The story went out over the. Associated Press and was reprinted in papers throughout the United States. A few days later there was a story about Miss Pink- ham’s departure for Paris to buy a trousseau.Soon letters and inquiries began to pour in upon Bok, who pleaded with Field to put a stop to such sto­ ries. Field obliged him by printing a denial of the Pinkham engage­ ment but ,at the same time linked .Bok’s name with Ihat of Mrs. Frank Leslie. Again there was a flood , of letters to the unfortunate, editor of the Journal, also some caustic com­ ment about the- fickleness of bis af­ fections. Shortly afterwards Bok’s engagement to the daughter of Cy­ rus H. K. Curtis, publisher of the Journal, was officially announced 'and Field was very contrite for the joke he had played on the Philadel­ phia editor. . \ But that didn’t stop him playing jokes on Bok. His next was a fake interview “at quarantine’’ -with Bok upon his return from a trip to Eu­ rope. Since the interview dealt with changes in W1OmenfS fashions in Par­ is it' was widely, copied by fashion papers all over the country and it even fodled Bok’s .office in Philadel­ phia. The people there believed that he was still In Europe, and there was much scurrying around to prepare for his arrival before they learned that it was another at Eugene Field’s . jokes. John Wilke* Booth Mummy FY AT some county .fair or in a “museum,” you were told you could see the “mummified body of John Wilkes Booth” upon payment of a. certain fee, it is to be hoped that you took advantage of the op­ portunity. For if you had, you would have gazed upon one of the greatest hoaxes in American history. Around the turn of the century a house painter In Enid, Okla., known as John St. Helen (his real name was David E. George) .convinced Finis L. Bates, a Tennessee law­ yer, that he was in reality John Wilkes Booth. He asserted that he had escaped from the burning barn in Maryland a few days after the assassination of Lincoln, and now, struck with remorse over his deed, bad to confess to ease his soul. Bates tried to interest the . United States government in his discov­ ery, so he could collect the $100,000 reward offered tor the slayer of Lin­ coln—this, despite the fact that that reward bad long since been paid to the captors of Booth. But the fed­ eral authorities weren’t interested. -In 1903 St. Helen (or George) com­ mitted ‘suidde and the Tennessee lawyer : claimed the body. In 1908 Bates published a book, “Escape and Suicide of.John Wilkes Booth,*' to bolster up his claim. For a time, the mummified body of his “Booth” was exhibited in Memphis, Tenn., and in 1929 it was said to have been sold “to parties in the West.” Where it is now is' unknown but . wherever it may be, this, is true: it is NOT the body, of the man • who killed Abraham Lincoln!. • * • Wedding Story DURING the'-winter of 1929-30, Robert QtiiUen, editor of the Fountain Inn (S. C.) Tribune print­ ed a story about a wedding in his . community which-wasn’t compli­ mentary to either the bride - or groom. As a climax, it insinuated that this had been a “shot guh wed­ ding” and then added: “This may be the' last issue of the Tribune but my life.ambition has been to write up one’wedding and tell the truth. Now that is done, death can’ have no sting.” :TbisJstory was widely reprinted throughout the country, because, many an editor^ no doubt, had often wished to write just: such a story and was glad to know that one of their number at last dared to do so. Some of then suspected that it was a fictitious yarn,: but others believed it was genuine and criticized Quil­ len for "exposing and treating peo­ple so, cruelly.” It was a hoax, all right, but it is still often reprinted as: a real wed- ding stoiy,- perhaps the moat famous one ever written. .

Here are some simple rules, that will, be useful in selecting the material and. style for front door curtain­ ing.Choose a fabric that looks well on both sides and that harmonizes with the outside color of your door as wen as with the color scheme of .the hall or room into which it opens. A simple net curtain mate­ rial or-plain silk are good to. use but if your door is white on the outside think twice before you choose the usual ecru, or pongee color. White net or ' silk of a color to match the shutters or the trim of the house will look infinite­ ly more attractive and will not be too conspicuous. The curtains may be made double with ai dif­ferent color on the inside if need be. Pale yellow is another color that'is ,always safe to use as it gives, the effect of light shining : through the door. • These, curtains should.be firmly anchored both top T.and bottom so that they do pot blow .about and catch in the door when it is opened and closed.

And .although they are now practically extinct because of their delicious* .ness as a food,’ relished alike by. !the crews of whaling ships an)] Iqr buzzards and dogs, and pigs, none of them has ever been known to die of old age. H they- die, asserts a writer in the Washington Star, it ■is because they have been killed by a human being or some other ,creature,', or because they have met jwith some such regrettable accident ,as falling off a cliff. Many of the iimmense turtles of the Galapagos 'islands are believed to have lived for 300 or 400 years. When Charles Darwin, the great scientist,' visited the islands some years ago, he wrote: . “I frequently got on their backs and then upotvgiying; them a few; raps on the hindefparts of the shell,' they would rise up and walk away.”' Some, of them,, Darwin said, were four feet long and weighed as much as 400 pounds. The turtles had well-beaten paths from the lower regions of the is- -SSlv lands to the fresh water springs in “ the higher parts, Darwin declared, and in the early days sailors are said to have followed these trails in search of fresh water. Although the tortoises drink a great deal of wa­ ter, often burying their heads under the surface on and off for two or three days to “tank up," Darwin be­ lieved that they could live on islands where the only fresh water supply was the rain and'the dew. Although his pace is'slow, the turtle manages to cover several miles a day, when migrating, be­ cause he walks, tirelessly and de­ terminedly, day and night; Art of Making FlOrcelam -Credited' to the Chinese Porcelain has an interesting his* tory, many centuries old. When we take a cup of coffee from a porce­ lain cup we are lifting an object that took hundreds of years to cre­ ate, for, unUke Topsy, it didn’t “just grow,” writes Clairfe Winslow in Oe Chicago Tribune. ; Mostof us have an indiscriminate name for porcelain, faience, and stoneware. We call them china, but this is a misnomer. Faience is an earthenware or pottery,- much more porous and less durable than porce­ lain, and stoneware, while sturdy, has none of the pure! white color or the plastic quality ot porcelain. Porcelain must always have one ingredient in its composition—kao­ lin. The Chinese had passed through the various evolutionary stages of the art of making porcelain «id were producing it as long agd as the Yuan dynasty, 1279-1368. Abundant supplies of kaolin, or white day, ex­isted in their land, i Although a few. pieces of porce­ lain reached Europe: by devious routes in the early Sixteenth cen­ tury, most Europeans had not heard of it before the days of the trading ships in the Seventeenth and Eight­ eenth centuries.- Then . it was brought in large quantities and was considered a luxury along with the introduction of coffee, chocolate and tea. Captored the Bahamas In 1776, during ;the war between Great Britain and the American col­ onies, a fleet of eight vessels was sent by the latter, to Nassau, capi­ tal of :the Bahamas, with instruc­ tions to capture the Iairge quantities of munitions believed to be stored there. This force under Admiral Hopkins of the American colonies landed a detachment on the eastern extremity of New Providence island and marched on-Nassau. Forts Mon* tague and Nassau surrendered to them without 'resistance, and the new “Grand Union flag,” consisting of the Union Jack in the first quar­ ter and 13 red and white stripes-to ifeprosent the : independent states, was hoisted over Fort Nassau. The invaders took 100 guns and a small quantity of other war munitions. They left the next day. - ‘First Stoekneken ' ~ “Fambus First Facts” states Oiat the first stock ticker was. a print­ing telegraph which was patented Iqr R. E.

World’s Oldest Republic The little republic ' of San Marino, in central Italy, claims the distinc­tion of. being the ottfest republic in the world, holding itself to; be also the oldest state in Europe, dating -back to the Fourth century. The oldest consequential republic, however, is certainly Switzerland, asserts a writer in the-Cleveland Plain Dealer. On August 1,1291, the men of Url, Schwyz and Lower Unterwalden en­ tered into a defensive league. ' In 1353 the league included eight can- tons, and in 1513 thirteen. Various allied or subject territories were ac­quired either by single cantons or by groups of them; and inl648 the league became formally inde^ pendent of the Holy Roman Empire. No addition was made to. the.nun*- her of cantons until :1798, In which year, under French influence, the Helvetian republic’ was organized. This did not satisfy the.

As many people know and others believe this government relief is honeycombed with scandal and cor­ ruption and if it were possible for the white light ot publicity to be turned on the inside workings of this part of the Roosevelt alphabe­ tical outfit great would be the sur­ prise. Evidently the members of the Richmond county grand jury have seen some of the iniquitous work­ ings of this relief commission in its county and at the last term of court at Rockingham included In its re­ port a recommendation as to relief beneficiaries, which is reported by the Rockingham Past as follows: “ From the personal experience of some members of the grand jury and reports from other citizens of this county, labor is being demor­ alized in Richmond county by re­ lief money which may be given to many who do not actually deserve it. It is opinion that if the roll is published, citizens of this county will be able to report any person whose name appears on this list who is not deserving, especially should work be offered the person It has come to our attention that some persons on the relief roll have been offered work, bnt would not accept for fear of being cnt off re­ lief. Wetheteforerecommendtbat the relief roll, of Richmond county be published once every month, this published list to include all names o f ., persons getting paid money or other compensation in which the county participates; old age pension- and aid to dependent children;to be included.” We have tieen'hearing disquiet­ ing reports on this same .subject from Rockingham county. Rich­ mond like Rockingham is a large industrial- county, many textile mills are located in- the borders of the two counties named and from reports it appears that the New Deal is simply demoralizing labor. Doubtlesstbere are other counties in the same boat. But nothing will be done about it for this election year and all these parasites who wouldn’t work in a pie factory.” and sire getting a handout from, the government have a vote and- will not go back on the GreatWhlite Father at Washing­ ton who feeds them and for this reason the power is command will be afraid to turn a wheel less they make these people angry and will lose their votes in the primary in June and the election in November —Union Republican. Yandenberg Gets Them Told. Senator Vahdenberg, Republican Republican ot Michigan, declared that a co-operative effort by busi­ ness, labor and government to com­ bat the -recession was impossible until ‘‘the administration confesses its sins’’ and abopts a consistent pillcv. : Discussing the President's sug­ gestion that.' business, labor and government , leaders jointly plan methods 'oif controlling production to previous peaks and subsequent periods of unemployment, Vanden- berg said: ; '‘What’s the use of sitting a- round a table and talking abo'ut. re­ leasing the forces of industry for expansion and employment when you decline to repeal the surplus profits tax which ’ prevents expen ditures for the purpose of expan­ sion and employ ment?” r. He said^he situation *‘is typical of' 100 paradoxes? of the. .new deal. ■ "lUntil^ihe administration' gets, gets read.vito go consistently in'oue directionJ&r-at,least ?o. minutes at a'ttme,”-' jHVandeoberg said, “con­ ference won’t do any good.” The Annual Squawk. Eveiy year about'this time some­ body in Washington begi is to hol­ ler about the ‘'subsidy” which newspapers receive from, the Gov­ ernment The squawk comes from the Postmaster General’s office, for the purpose of establishing an alibi for the annual deficit. It comes under Republican adminis­ trations and under- Democratic ad ministrations, and it is always the same old bunk. “ We carry newspapers in the mails at a tremendous los«,” is the complaint. It is a charge so utterly phoney that we would not oay any. attCn tion to tt except that many people who do not know the facts are fool­ ed Oy it Incidentally, where do they learn about it, anyway? From the very newspapers, who are ac­ cused-of ‘‘grafting’.'-on the - public purse. If we didn’t print the al­ legations against ourselves, nobody would known of them. .. . The fact is that the daily .news­ papers, and the magazines -J have proved over and over ,again: that mostpf their circulation-can be, as much ot it is distributed to readers at a IoWer. cost than the Post Office charge them-. The cost tolthe .Gov­ ernment-of distributing weekly- pa­ pers in . their : home counties : ex­ cept to post offices . having . free bouse delivery, ■ adds , substantially nothing .a year to the . expense: of maintaining local post: offices and rural route services, necessary ,for letters and parcel post.' Where the big deficit comes, in from the:- free distribution of millions;, upon mil­ lions of pounds of printed matter from the Government. Printing .Of Gce which, payvno postage at all. The Post Gffij& is ; a public. ser­ vice; which never ;was intended to earn a profit, anjc-niore than the Army or the'Navy does, v It. could earn a profit' under Vbusihesis-Iike management, bnt nobody expects“a public office to be run on ! business principles.'

FDR’s bright business idea is to pay morefor the less you produce. .Thecountry needs leaders with more intelligence, and Iera impu­ dence. Taxation to rule business, not to run the government, is the New Deal way. President R osevelt had turkey for his Thanksgiving, and the tax­ payers continue to eat crow. After “six long'yean” of Roose­ velt we still can’t tell whether he’s trying to do something for the peo­ ple or to them. One of the most serious tactics of the New Deal is that , it proceeds hit Knock business down- every time it tries to get started. . Say what they may. this business slump iB a New Deal baby and lay­ ing it on another’s doorstep will ndt stop the brat from crying. 4 We wonder what has become of Charley Michelson who was regarded such- good authority during the Hoover depression. If be devil hated sin as bad as the New Deal hates big business, he could rent out hell-for a goose pas­ ture and soon monopolize the feath­ er business. News dispatches indicate that the Roosevelts and’ Du Ponts are as thick as honey in a jug in January. Well, if FDR had sops and daugh­ ters enough to marry up ail the sons and daughters of the “dirtv sixty,” wouldn’t things be lovely along “the Potomac?

Well, anyway thev are not; blaming “Old Hoover." ■;.... c: While FDR rays this reported bus­ iness recession is an ‘ assumption,” che fact remains that: the producri of the field are selling at the lowest figure in many years.

Six­ teen oil companies operating in 10 Mid- • die West states and 30 individuals were found guilty of con­ spiring to violate the Sherman anti-trust law. Prominent among the men con- ' victed are Henry M. Dawes of Pure Oil, E. 6 . Seubert of H.M. Dawes Standard Oil of Indi­ana, Jacob France of Mid-Continent Petroleum, I. A. Shaugiuiessy of Globe Oil and Re­ fin in g , Dan Moran of Continental Oil and Frank Phillips of Phillips Petroleum.Formal motion for a new trial was filed but will not be ruled on for sev­ eral weeks. Probably the case will' be taken to the Supreme court The defendants were accused of entering into a secret agreement to purchase quantities of oil from inde­ pendent oil producers at artificially high prices. These prices were then quoted as the market price to job­ bers, who had signed contracts with the defendants to purchase the fuel at the spot (or daily) market price. The defense denied having artifi­ cially influenced the market and pleaded unsuccessfully that the companies merely bought distress gasoline to save the independent refiners from failure and did so in accordance with a policy approved by President Roosevelt and Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes. Huge Relief Expenditures COCIAL securities board an- nounced that government agen­ cies spent $2,155,417,000 for public relief in the first eleven months of 1937, a decline of $251,821,000 from the corresponding period of 1936. Payments to relief recipients in November were $189,671,000, a drop of $36,000,000 from November, 1936, but $15,000,000 more than in Octo­ ber, 1937. The figures include payments to recipients under all types of public Morgan Hits Power Plan, A RTHUR E. MORGAN, chairman of the Tennessee Valley author­ ity, in secret testimony before the house rivers and harbors commit, tee, declared his op­position to the Presi­ dent’s program for the establishment on other watersheds of agencies patterned after the TVA. . Wa­ ter power develop­ ment, he asserted, “has become an ob­ session with some men.” -In place of the , „ M _ regional resources . “ organ agencies proposed by Mr. Roose­ velt, Morgan recommended that in­ terstate water control districts, be set up. “It would seem better,” said he, “to deal with the ownership of remaining water power resources in separate legislation rather than to encumber general water controMeg- islation with the problem, possibly with the result of defeating that more inclusive purpose. . ^ “The part which water power de­ velopment will play in a unified riv­ er control program is being greatly exaggerated in the public mind.” ■ "No More Regulation Laws" GEORGE H. DAVIS, president of .the Chamber.of Commerce of the United States, sent to the sen­ ate unemployment committee-a plea for assurances that there will be passed at this, session of congress no more laws for regulating busi­ ness. “Hie real cause of the present re­ cession,” said Davis, “is lack of confidence in the future, caused ac­ cumulatively by the passage of laws culminating in the undistributed profits tax and the threat, of the wages and hours bilL” There is no question in the minds of business men, he said, that these steps would restore confidence: : 1. Repeal of the undivided profits tax. 2. A sharp modification In the amount of capital gains tax.3. Liberalization of the security exchange and commodity exchange rules to provide more liquid mar­ kets. 4. Assurance that, at this session at least, there will be no additional laws passed further regulating busi­ ness, such as the wage-hour bill. Business at Wbitp House IflFTY members of the business 1 advisory council of the Depart­ ment of Commerce, all of them leaders of the nation’s business and industry, went fo the White House for a long conference with the President, and told him what they believed to be responsible for the current “recession.” Then they promised to co-operate with him in combating'the dump on condition that he .made clear the course he intends to follow. The business men specified that necessities to aid in the struggle were limitation to wage-hour legis­ lation, a truce with public utilities, no general purge or holding com­ panies and no further tinkering with the currency. To these suggestions Mr. Roose­velt gave his approval. Others were heard by him without comment. W. Averill, the council’s chair* man, issued a statement which em­ braced the views of his colleagues and which was read to Mr. Roose­ velt. . The statement said re-employ­ ment in private industry is the criti­ cal problem now before the country.' “We wish to record with you our faith in the efficacy of the prin­ ciples of democracy, and yet our grave concern over the possible far- reaching effects of our present; sit­ uation,” the statement concluded. “Tolerance and understanding must be used by all sections and interests in the country.” At the conclusion of the confer­ ence the President announced that he will seek the formulation of a definite policy, designed to end the depression and create a framework for steady functioning of a nation’s economic life through the appoint­ ment of a group: representative of all the interests within the country. The group would consist' of as many as twenty-five or as few as five or six persons,'who would be charged with the task of sifting over all proposals'to aid business and un­ snarling all conflicts existing among the various interests with a view toward perfecting an administrative and legislative policy for business.

PaHen m rim 1^ E W YORK.—One of Oiis depart- >7* ment’s favorite monarchs has long been JeS Davis, king of the hoboes of America, who now leads „ . - ...... his following ofHoboetWtU nearly 1,000,000 in PayUonarto a plan to erect a j m national memorialBardofHome to John Howar<1 Payne, author of “Home, Sweet Home.” There is perhaps a bit of personal pride involved, as your correspond­ ent helped establish the .dynasty. That was many years ago, when 4 series of hobo stories in the Chicago Tribune elevated Dr. Ben Reitman to the kingship. Dr. Reitman, how­ ever, was a backslider, turning at first furtively and then brazenly to regular work, went into politics in Chicago and became a cautious and solvent citizen, too fat to ride the rods. I saw him last at the house of the late Jack London, in Sonoma coun­ ty, Calif., and, if I remember cor­rectly, Mr. London reproached him as one recreant to hi£ ideals and in danger of succumbing to industry and ambition. Until a few years ago, I used to get letters from the hoboes of America, on letter-heads like those of any national bank, carrying the names of the “jungle judges,” “shacks” (organizers) and “track walkers” and “supreme knights of the road.” They had to do with some mis­ understanding in the organization . t a w over *he lingeringKing Jen it sovereignty of Dr. Elected to Reitman, but that Job for Ufe is aU £ ear®d ??now.. Mr. Davis rule is undisputed and his name ap­ pears on the letter-head as “Jungle Judge, King of the Hoboes, elected for Life.” Mr. Davis, now fifty-three years old,, has covered his first 1 ,000,000 miles on the road, and plans to start his second million on an organiz­ ing trip in Europe early this year. His father, James Davis, who died in Cincinnati a year ago at the age of ninety, had been vaguely identi­ fied as a newspaper man, working on several Cincinnati newspapers, but with no news as to what depart­ ment. Young Jeff, bom in Cincinnati, started rambling when he was thir­ teen and now fetches up with a round forty years on the road. Bald and genial, working harder at the hobo trade than do most men on their regular jobs, he campaigns for better migrating and loafing condi­ tions for his subjects. He wants the railroads to estab­ lish a one-cent-a-mile rate for box cat passengers. He says the plan has worked fine in France. He moves about the country, fighting the bum blockades set up by va­ rious states. He. denounces the “fuzzy-tails” ig. his following—ho­ boes who talk a lot but never toss anything into the jungle stew.

Washington.—The month of Janu­ ary, 1938, has come and it is now _ * gone with th e G etting wind. Dozens of Nowhere big business men have been called to the White House for conferences with the President on means of solv­ ing the depression problem. And dozens have gone away from the White House after those conferences without any announcement from the head of the government as to what is. to. be done. Much conversation and much noise—totaling much conversation and much noise. That was January at the White House. A new session of congress started with the opening of January. The house and the senate appear -actu­ ally to have no definite program; certainly, no program for a con­ structive course that will lead the country out of the terrific business decline. Instead, the senate has been debating and debating a bill to punish any community where a lynching takes place and the house has been indulging in its annual sport of passing appropriation bills, voting money without knowing too much about the items for which it votes. Southern senators filibustered against the anti-lynching bill be­ cause of the problems, the burdens) such legislation would load on them and the northern Democratic sen­ ators seemed willing to . let business die, unemployment increase, etc., in order to gain a few negro votes. That was January in congress. An analysis of the situation, there­ fore, woultj seem to be in order. To do that, we have to go back to 1933 when President Roosevelt took, of­ fice. The nation was in chaos. There is no need to review those condi­ tions. The new President came in with an overwhelming majority to support him. His majority was so large that he needed only to express his view and it was translated into action. The country liked the ag­ gressiveness thus shown. Members of the house' and senate', however, developed a habit—not all of them, but a majority of them. That habit was .one of waiting for the word from the White House. _ While this habit' was growing, business interests were pushed and kicked around and generally given to understand that they did not know what the sjiooting was all about. Like a country school boy, the busi­ ness man was sent to his seat and told to stay there. Otherwise the hickory stick would be brought into use; ■ Indeed, the hickory stick in the form of several pieces of legis­ lation was laid, onto the business of the country, not as a pat on the back, but much further down to­ ward the end'of its spine. So busi­ ness, too, got the habit of standing in the background. It was afraid to venture forth. Things began to look up. There was something approximating good business and it looked as if Mr. Roosevelt’s policies were correct in every sense. But something hap­ pened; the boat struck a snag. For several months last year the administration refused to admit that conditions were alarming. It was just temporary, officials said. The country would pull out of it—and it will some time if there is anything left. Butthe problemisimmediate and January- has gone into history, as did December and November. It was in this circumstance that the results of the habit formed in 1933 began to show their worst phases. Business interests have gone to the White House to tell-their side of the story, at the President’s request^ and nothing has come of those con­ ferences.• •- • In the criticism of congress, I did not intend to indict all of the mem- _ bership. There are Som e those who see Exceptiotu- their mistakes andare willing to do something about them. Unfortunate­ ly, they are in minority. Blind fol­ lowers of the President, generally speaking, constitute the majority. So that, those who want to take con­ structive action haven’t had an op­ portunity.- . Lately, I heard Worth Clark, a Democratic member of the house from -Idaho, make a radio speech on this fact; or rather he touched on this fact. Mr. dark is a pretty hard-boiled Democrat, but he be­ lieves he was elected to represent his people, and not to throw them down simply because his party lead, ership wanted to do something else. In the radio speech that I men­ tioned, Mr. dark referred to mis­ takes that had been .made in the Iast five years and asked: “What is the remedy?” '“First,” he continued in his an­ swer 4o that question, “we must squarely face the-problem. We must realize that we have done some things wrong. We must retrace our steps where necessary - and start anew. “One of the difficulties involved here is the lack of. independence of thought and courage among us in congress'. The worst injustice that can be done 'a. great leadet is to blindly'follow'his every suggestion. That frequently causes him to make ^nore mistakes .than he otherwise would. A man’s best friends are not those - who crouch at his feet with blandishment, flattery and sub­ servience. His real friends are those who disagree with hini when they' think hiin wrong and who give him their utmost in support when they think him right.” There are many others in con­ gress who feel as does Mr. Clark about the present situation. They recognize, I think, that Mr. Roose­velt must assume his fair share of responsibility, as President, for the current depression. It is apparent, too, that he must assume responsi­ bility for the failure of some'of his policies in that he turned to “yes” men for advice instead of recogniz­ ing that there could be honest dis­ agreement with him on the part of many who desired to be helpful. It is, in other words, another result of the type of leadership that he has assumed, a leadership that worked without halt when everything was hunky dory but a type that obvious­ ly will, fail when-the tide runs against you. Perhaps I was a bit unfair when I said Mr. Roosevelt’s conferences ‘ with business menWell, Thatft had yielded noth- Som ething ing. It is true that he has “persuad­ ed” the automobile manufacturers and finance, companies to tighten up the strings somewhat on installment buying. It is likely that hereafter an automobile finance company will grant credit only for 18 months in­ stead of 24 months on the sale of a car where deferred payments are used. I do not know how that will solve the current depression, but that was the reason given for the change in business practice. As a matter of fact, experts in the De­ partment of Commerce said'-in pub­ lished reports in May, 1937, that a majority of the finance companies were holding to the 18-month-limit even then. There can be no doubt that in­ stallment buying is a dangerous thing because of the abuses that accompany it. My objection to it is the same, as I have often stated in these columns respecting other types of debt. Any time debt is made easy, there has been created a fresh danger at the very same time. Installment buying has been generally used and the general re­ sult is, as it was bound to be, that hundreds of. thousands of people put themselves into debt. When their'income from wages or other­ wise was reduced, their installment obligations became a burden that had first call on whatever mosey was available. In the case of the automobile finance companies, it seems clear that there, have been abuses. High pressure salesmen, anxious to get commissions, drove hard to sell cars “and you can. pay in two years.” The companies found out long ago, however, that the dan­ gers existed and'they were trim­ ming their commitments according­ ly. Since these sales are compara­ tively small in ratio to the whole country’s business, I think the White House announcement will not result in immediate restoration of pros­ perity. * * * And then its importance is further minimized by the President’s course „ . in another field,Mousing namely, housing. Problem We all recall the housing legislation that was proposed as a panacea for what-was called a “recession” last fall. That legislation is approach­ ing conclusion now and will soon go to. the. President for his signature. So let us take a look at its princi­ pal features . and find what they mean. The heart of the legislation" was a provision to permit the construc­tion or the purchase of small homes without much money as a down payment. In fact, only 10 per cent of the total cost of the property is required as a down payment. Pri­ vate money lenders will finance the other 90. per cent, and the federal housing 'administration will insure that amount with government bonds to back the insurance. So, it is soon to be provided that I can buy a house with a value up to $6,000 if I have $600 to pay down. Aiqrbody can get himself iiito deep debt with as much ease' as' the man on the flying trapeze, and instead of obli­gating himself for 18 months (as in the case of the automobile) the buy­ er is hooked for about 15. years. It is definitely unsound and willmake not the slightestbit-of improvement in general business.: Stewart MacDonald, the federal housing administrator, ought to be a good witness on the soundess of the plan. When hearings Were being held in the house appropriations committee, Mr. - MacDonald was asked about the idea:of government Insivance1Of as much as 90 per cent of a debt. “Do you think that that is good business—to have a man build a home without any more equity than 10 per cent?” asked Representative Houston, Kansas Democrat. “I don’t think it is good business; no,” replied Mr; . MacDonald. :CtwesteniNMrapapcrViiiVt CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT LADIES BT-KVP eliminates pads* belts for women $2.00 jwstpaid. Saleswomen wanted.OarIaadCe.* Box ISO!, lndi*n*p#li#, Ind.

Nation Celebrates 250th Anniversary Swedenborg’s Birth A^IAZING as it seems that one mind could encompass so many varied realms of knowledge, never­theless it is true that Emanuel Swedenborg, the 230th anniversary of whose birth is being celebrated this year, made important contribu­ tions in many fields of science, theo-. retical and practical, in statesman­ ship, philosophy, and religion. In 1716-1718 he published the first scientific periodical in Sweden, con­ taining records of his mechanical inventions and mathematical dis­ coveries, which included the first airplane design to have fixed wings and moving propellor, the first air; pump to employ mercury, and the description of a method for determin­ ing latitude and longitude at sea by observations of the moon among the stars. In the “Prlncipia," a work on physics and cosmology, be arrived at the nebular hypothesis theory be­fore Kant and Laplacfe He was 190 years ahead of any other scientist in his works on the functions of the brain and spinal cord, and on the functions of the ductless glands. Swedenborg served as an active member of the parliament of his country for more than fifty years, introducing fiscal reforms and much general legislation. At the age of fifty-five Emannd Swedenborg discontinued his scien­ tific pursuits and began his work as a theologian, publishing the 41Arcana Coelestin, Apocalypse Explained”; “Heaven and Hell”; “Four Doc­ trines” ; ‘Divine Love and Wisdom”; “Divine Providence”; “Apocalypse Revealed”; “Conjugal Love”; “True Christian Religion”; and other mis­ cellaneous theological works.

Address: SWEDENBORG FOUNDATION, lie . StEKttMStnANmVak WasHington Digest National Topics Interpreted By W IL L IA M BRUCKART Washington.—-It has been stated frequently that 90 per cent of the • residents of Wash- W m m agton fagton are lobated N ew t here because it is the site , and seat of the federal government. In oth­ er words, Washington is a great city because it is the capital of the nation. The statement is not com­ pletely the truth, but a bare analysis by whomever made cannot fail to demonstrate that there are thou­ sands who live in Washington for the reasons mentioned. In consequence of this condition, therefore, Wadiingtoh news does not get into Ihe newspapers of the country as does other news. The Washington date line in ninety-nine out of each one hundred cases is over a story that deals with some phase of government or politics. Since Washingtonians have no vote, Washingtonians cannot be in poli­ tics. Nevertheless, sometimes there is news about Washingtonians that is of interest to all of the country. The observation is peculiarly true of a circumstance that has lately devel­ oped. Moreover,. the ,case in point holds a lesson for the country as a whole.Lately, congress passed a law es­ tablishing a minimum wage for women workers in the District of Columbia. The statute was rather loosely drawn, as it had to be if it were to work at all. It left much to the discretion of a controlling agency called a minimum wage board. One of the reasons why so much discretion was left to the lo­ cal agency, however, was because the subject with which the legisla­ tion deals contains political dyna­ mite and congress did not want to establish a precedent by going too far in fixing wages. So the District of Columbia was left a rather wide scope within which to build its mini­ mum wage structure. That was the basis for the cir­ cumstance above mentioned, the news about Washingtonians, the les­ son for the nation. The wage, board started out to hold hearings to obtain facts about the wage level and what was need­ ed by the women workers. Stenog­ raphers, office workers, clerks in stores and this and that and the other type of employed women. Fi­ nally, the board got around to wait­ resses and their wages. That was where, the lid 1>lew off, because who does not loiow that waitresses col­ lect considerable money in tips? Promptly, up bobbed a red hot ques­ tion: should the tips, or the average monthly “take” in tips be consid­ ered as a part of the wage of wait­ resses? Well, the question has not been settled yet and even when an order is issued, it will not have been set­ tled. It will go on and on and there will be some racketeers who will or­ ganize a society or something to fight for exclusion of tips as part of the wage, if that be the order. If the board eventually decides to exclude tips and fix a minimum wage without regard to tips, the employers will carry on a drum fire of criticism about it. Why? Because the question strikes at the very heart of the relationship between employer and worker. Any worker naturally wants as much of a return for his or her la­ bor as can be obtained. Any em­ ployer .'feels equally that he is en­titled to obtain needed labor as cheaply as is possible. The wait­ resses, therefore, took the position that the proprietor had no right to consider the tips as a part of the wage. On the other hand, the pro­ prietor — probably with the same justification — said in effect that without the job the waitress will not get tips, and that the owner who takes die risk ought to be allowed to count those tips as part , of the compensation.• • * Further, the customers of the res­ taurant were entitled to some con- ... • sideration, s a.i d Contiaer th e proprietors. Cm tom era That is, they ar­ gued that the cus­tomers were charged prices for food and service that would yield the proprietor a fair profit. The tips, it was held, were gratuities on the part of the customer and they vary in amount, some large, some small. If the wage rate was to be raised and the tips excluded—somebody would have to pay more for food. The waitresses used the argument that the tips were gratuities, just as the owners did, but since they are gratuities, said the waitresses, in no wise was it fair to include them in the wage scale. And so the argument went! But the lesson remains. Ko better il­ lustration is possible, I think, than the Washington waitress wage con­ troversy; there is no better way to show how utterly silly it is for government to mess into private af­ fairs. Whenever government sticks its hooked nose into private affairs, just there begins an unbalancing of human nature. That is to say, there is no substitute for negotiation be-. tween humans, each inately fair, each desirous of gaining justice ac­ cording to his light. Goverhmentican and does' func­ tion admirably as the agency for protection of rights that are im­ portant rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. It can and -does prevent encroachment upon in­ dividuals where such individuals can not protect themselves. But in matters of earning a living, just plain making money, government, in my opinion, has no place. Labor has organization where organization is necessary. Such organization does protect labor, generally speak­ ing, because it has the right to strike. And in all probability, fix­ ing of wages will hurt more than help labor. » * * While on the subject of expansion of government into every cranberry . patch, it is inter- B atttng esting to note that IntoB utinest some of the left wing New Dealers would like very much to put the federal government into the busi­ ness of making small industrial loans. I think probably it will be some time yet before the nitwit section gets anything tangible into the open on the newest of their schemas, but it is true that they are now planning along -those lines. The thought of this group of so- called presidential advisers is that the federal government should start loaning money to small businesses so that those businesses will be in­ dependent of “the great banking trust.” In short, it.is proposed that the federal government should be equipped to make a loan of ten thousand or twenty thousand or fifty thousand to a small manufacturer so that he can expand his plant and take on new workers, etc., etc. It is suggested that perhaps there ought to be a new governmental agency created to handle this work so that it will be done “sympathetically” and with an understanding. It all comes about apparently from the fact that the present ad­ ministration has • discovered, after five years in office, that there are great monopolies or trusts or some­ thing else in the way of combina­ tions in existence. They have found that these monopolies are in control so far that the little, fellow in busi­ ness can not borrow money when he needs it to carry on his business. Something must be done for them, or else they can not have the more abundant life of plenty. President Roosevelt has become intensely interested in having busi­ ness become “home owned” or something of the kind. He has shown, for example, in his shots at utility holding companies how much he likes the type of operating com­ pany that serves its patrons and doesn’t mix up in the tangle of corporations that operate in more than one town or city. They are good, according to the President, and they ought to have considera­ tion. It might be that federal money loaned to them would save them from bankruptcy—or it might be that if they can’t make a go of their business, they will go bankrupt any­ way. If the federal government had a loan and a mortgage on their as­ sets, they would become federal- owned after foreclosure. That sure­ ly would be one way for the fed­ eral government to enter the public utility , business. It is just a possi­bility, I mean.. Svery now and then some infor­ mation leaks out about “emergency _ action” that wasEm ergency taken by govem- Aetion ment officials dur­ ing the : hectic days of the Hoover depression as distinguished from the Rcosevelt de­ pression. (The depression that was on- when President Roosevelt took office in 1933 was labeled the Hoo­ ver depression in New Deal propa­ ganda.) One of these incidents came out before the senate committee on public lands the other day. The committee was investigating the nomination of E. K. Burlew to be assistant secretary of the interior, and that formed the basis of an in­ quiry into general practices of the Department of the Interior which is headed by-Secretary Ickes. Mr. Burlew was answering ques­ tions as to how the. department spent much of the three or four bil­ lion dollars appropriated to it for public-works. Those were pipnp priming appropriations, if you re­ member, although as for as I can see the water has' not started com­ ing out of the pump yet. Anyway, Mr. Burlew let . the fact drop that Secretary Idces had bought two new automobiles in 1933. ' He said the purchases were due to the “emer­ gency” and, of course, money for them came from the emergency ap­ propriations. Senator Stiewer -of Oregon , asked what was iAeant by the “emergency.” “Well, the secretary wanted the cars, and that was the emergency,J* Mr. Burlew replied amid laughter in the room.e Western Newspaper Union.

We don’t know whose, fault it is, but from what we have heard, there are a number of people who are actually on the verge of starvation, and who haven’t sufficient clothing and bedding to keep them warm We are not talking about folks in China, but in Davie county. The more abundant life promised us doesn't seem to be functioning Dem or New Deal. A good democratic lady who bas been taking The Record, and who lives at Farmington, writes and asks ns if it didn’t hurt our cor- science to publish the article head­ ed, “ Democratic Primer,” in a re­ cent issue ot our paper. The lady also wrote us and said: ' You know I don’t like to read a paper filled with articles that slanders my good old Democratic party—my party is above reproach.” The young lady has our apolo­ gies for anything we have said a- bout the democratic pa ty that wasn’t true We were taught when young to speak only good of the dead. The democratic party went out of existence when Mr. Roose­ velt was elected in 1932, and' the New Deal party is now in full force. Did you ever hear Mr. Roosevelt say he was a democrat? Hall Announces. Attorney Avalon Hall, well- known young Republican Attorney of Yadeinville, has announced him­ self a candidate for Salicitor in this district, which is composed of A- very, Mitchell, Wilkes, Yadkin and Davie counties. For the past quart- er of a century Wilkes county has furnished the solicitor for this dis­ trict in the persons of . Johnson J Hayes and John R Jones. These gentlemen filled'the office with ere > dit to themselves and the pa ty with which they are affiliated. It is only fair that some other coun­ ty in the district should furnish the solicitor at this time. It has been understood for some time that Mr. Jones would not be a candidate to succeed himself. Up to this time only two men have announced for this important office—Avalon Hall, of Yadkin and. J F. Jordan, of Wilkes. We do not know whether there will be any others in the race. Candidates have until March 23rd to file their names. Mr. ’ Ha"I is a native of Davie countv, and bis many friends in this section who wish him well in his race for this important office.. .If nominated, there is no doubt but that be will be elected bv a big majority.

MfTo Sumnnervi I \<z South Carol ina of Monterey 0 Virginia Stivers Barttett Virginia Stivers Bartlett WNUServleo SYNOPSIS ;»- Bi Spanish-governed CallitMnla of 1983 a conflict between Church and State is repr£ sented by two friendly enemies, frail old Fray Juntpero Serra, Franciscan mission* ary,' and* Don Pedro Fages, ctvtt'governor. After telling Sena- be is sending to Mexico for his wife and son, mhbmMie'bas not seen for eight years, he refuses his aid toward founding the Santa Barbara. Mission. In Mexleo City, Qoim Eulalia; accompanied ;by her duenna, Angustias, arrives at the em­bassy In response to a letter from her hus­band, Bon Pedro. She agrees to go to Call*, foroia. Don Fedro sends for Serra, tdUng him that two priests are on their way from; Mexico with Eulalia and young Peifro and that he is leaving to meet them. Fages en­gages a young Bidian girl, Indizuela, as maid for Eulalia. Eulalia sails from San Bias. It is a desolate trip. From the port of Loreto, a large cavalcade loaded with Eu­lalia's party starts out for the long overland trip. Eulalia, accustomed to luxury and comfort bitterly regrets having been per­suaded to come; The two priests, FMy Mariano and Fray Bartolomeo, call on her and arouse her suspicions as to their genu­ineness. As the cavalcade stops at various, missions, Eulalia hears rumors of the ap­proach. of her husband. While Don Pedro plans a great fiesta to welcome his wife, Eulalia plans her costume. CHAPTER V m Pedro Fages leaped from out the darkening, shark-infested water of the Gulf of Califoniia and raced a few times up the . beach, shouting and beating his chest. Then he dressed carefully, combed his beard and hair with his fingers, and-went to his tent. Escabellito, the wee Indian,' awaited, him there, and the two walked toward the roaring fire. The smoky air was filled with the odors of roasting flesh.. Two casks, one of wine, and one of aguardiente from the FYanciscan mission of San Ga­ briel Arcangel in California Alta, stood ready for . the broaching. Don Pedro strolled restlessly about. The bay was now flooded with moonlight, which emphasized mountains, palms, men and horses in black silhouette. Again he peered into the tent. A little fire had been built before the entrance and its re­ flection made the barbaric interior glow like a jewel. When he looked again toward the fire he saw three figures ride slow­ ly toward the camp: a woman, a child and a man. Behind them a long caravan defiled out of the at- royo. “Ah,” choked the Governor. As he went toward them a thousand confused thoughts, memories, de­ sires raced through his mind. Eu­lalia, his wife—his Eulalia—eight years—the babe at the mother’s breast — beautiful Eulalia — lonely years—beloved, riding to me out of the wilderness—I will crawl to your feet—kiss your little shoes—core of my heart—hope of my loneliness— mine to possess—soon. “Ah,” choked the Governor of Cal­ ifornia.He made his way with dignity to­ ward her, helped her from the sad­ dle, kissed her hand timidly. And said only:“Well! Well; well, well!” There were confused greetings, cries, laughter; a milling of people and horses. The Governor found Ids legs held in a tight grip.. He looked down. “Hello! And who is this?” “I am Pedro Fages the Younger. Are you my father? Are you truly? I didn’t think I had a father, real­ ly! I thought he was like Senor Jesus, or San Francisco, or—” Fages swung the child into his arms and carried him to the fire. He looked into the dear eyes, de­ voured the brown face, felt the straight" little back and limbs, arid buried his cheek in the boy’s warm neck."I am your father—I am indeed. And you are my chamaco, my lit­ tle boy!”Pedro Fages the Younger wrig­ gled in delight. “Then it’s all right. Al, I have so many things to tell you, and ask you, Father. Fatiret I That sounds funny, doesn’t it? I’ve heard other boys say that, but I never could.” “Young Pedro, you are bother­ ing your father! And I want to speak to him. Greetings, Don Pedro—or should I say, .your Excellency?” “Dona Angustiast Well; well—” And he stooped to . kiss the with­ ered virgin’s cheelhx She giggled and produced her pet, to hold him up proudly like a child. “Look, sir! Chichi! And he has borne the trip thus far nobly, nobly, I say.” “Chichi! My God, the same Chi­ chi?” • “Oh, not the same Chfohi, there have been several Chichis since the one you saw last, but there is just one, always and the same Chichi!” Fages felt'his hand tugged gen­ tly,, and. looked down into the som­ ber eyes of the tihy Indian.; He took him by'the hand and led him to where; Eiriatia- sat, enthroned be­ neath a ramada by theflre. : “Senora,” he said formally, “here' is a gift I have, brought you all the way’from Monteiey;' A gift which I hope you will appreciate, and use. This is Escabellito.” '“Escabellito! UtUe Foot-Stool!” exclaimed the - lady. “What a strange name!” “He has no other. And that is what he is. Your little foot-stooL” He whispered in the brown ear. The Child dropped, on his -round belly and wriggled to the lady’s' feet, turning his head toward the Gover­nor, begging for' approval with , a black bright eye.“There you are! Put your feet on him,. Lady. Do not be afraid. That is what he is for, he has been trained for you, the tittle savage.” Eulalia put one foot, then the oth­ er, gingerly on the small round body, then relaxed.“Ah,” she laughed, “he is a com­ fortable Escabellito! This is nice of you, your Excellency. Queens and the mistresses of kings have their little blackmoors, and I have my wee Indian.” The Governor bowed low. “Right and fitting, Dona Eulalia.” “Ah, my heart, my beautiful- more beautiful than I remembered in mymost solitary lonely dreams—” Now the casks were broached, the wine and brandy flowed and the feast began. The Governor and Capitan Canete raised wine-homs to each other. “Good man! Brave fellow!” mur­mured the Governor. The Capitan smiled quizzically and retired. - During the feast Fages sat where he could see Eulalia, watching the firelight brighten the tittle Maja jacket, and wink on the bright but­ tons. Watched her hands as she ate fastidiously.Then, when venison, . antelope, quail, rabbits, frijoles, tortillas, and dried fruits were mere scraps, an Now the Carin Were Broached and the Feast Began. old leather-jacket' began plucking music by the roots out of his guitar —a guitar that had traveled from the province of Catalonia in Spain, across the Atlantic, across Mexico, and up and down the Califomias, Baja and Alta. Voices rose in the beloved songs of the old country, soldiers’ songs, gipsies’ roundelays and haunting Oriental strains that had persisted in Spain since the days of the Moors. , Pedro Fages lifted a horn of wine. “I give you a toast, my men! To his Majesty King Carlos the Third of Spain, and to his Royal Spouse!” They drank the toast standing, amid cheers. The Governor refilled his horn. “And I give. you Eulalia, the Queen of the Califomias!” He drank deeply, then threw the empty horn into the dying fire. Stooping lightly, he lifted Eulalia from the dais, held her aloft a moment, then strode away with her to the tent. CHAPTER DE Early one morning couriers had dashed into the presidio at San Di­ ego announcing that El Senor Gob- emador and his lady, La Gobema- dora, were at the very gates of the citadel. Lieutenant Jose de Zuniga, in charge of the presidio, issued orders right and left. There must be royal entertainment • prepared, and at once! A dispatch must be sent to good Padre Lasuen at the mission to come and celebrate a thanksgiv­ ing for the distinguished travelers; he must bring his Indian musicians. There would be music, .dancing; food must be prepar^ — a bull slaughtered. The arms and equip­ ment of the little garrison must be in perfect order. Guns must be made ready for salutes. Ther women listened to the Com­ mander’s orders,: nodded among tiiemselves and went to work. The Indian servants stared in stupid won-' der. Never had they seen the gente so hard at work.:■ Such a scrubbing and cleaning, such an aroma of food in the air!' >- Carefully ' hoarded clothes.— for who could tell when they could be replaced?—were drawn from chests where they reposed from funeral to funeral, christening to christening. The best silk quilts and bed. furnish­ ings were carried to the room set apart’ for the almost-royal guest- chamber. When .MT' this was done, and. the, children Cleaned- and. dressed, the women-folk fixed their men-folk’s hair; trimmed it, combed it, braided it. into queues. Suddenly there was a volley of shots, a prancing of hoofe, shouts and cries, and the caravan came in sight. The' people, of San Diego pressed forward to see—there was EI- Gobemador—Don Pedro himself, his brown eyes twinkling, his mouth stern, riding proudly between his lady and his son. < “Ah, his son!” they chattered. “That would be Pedro the Younger of course. A princeling, yes, a princeling. But look you—the lady —La Gobernadora!” La’ Gobernadora rode into the compound proudly, head high, eyes IeveL She saw the. jolly clamor around the Governor, a respectful intimacy that established at once in her mind the relations of her hus­ band with these people that he gov­ erned. She did not approve of it— this backslapping and joking. Afr er all he was the Governor, the King’s own representative in this province and should demand and re­ ceive more dignified attention. For a moment she looked around her. The adobe stockade was lined with huts that followed the contours of the hills. Living quarters, store­ houses, chapel, huddled under the flag of Spain. To the east great mountains, the Cuyamacas and Fal- omar, lifted profound white brows into the sunset sky—remote, im­passable. Prison walls—shuddered the lady. To the west the South Sea spread like a carpet of red gold clear to the setting sun. Into it old Point Loma plowed like the prow of a ship. So this was California Alta—and here was she, at last. Fray Mariano and Fray Bartolo- me were being led away, after a joyful greeting from Padre Lasuen, to their quarters. They too looked about them doubtfully. “So this is California Alta!” whis­ pered Fray Mariano. “What next?” ‘.‘Sh-h!” warned his brother as Padre Lasuen overtook them. They walked beside him, hands clasped piously ovet their stomachs, their eyes cast downward. After a thanksgiving service in the chapel, there was a merry feast in the quarters of the Lieutenant Zuniga that night. The food was good, wine flowed and the Didians from the Mission San Diego de Al­ cala made-amazing music. Eulalia was dazed, tired, a little ill'. But the Governor was in fine fettle. Over and over he told* of the long journey north, .relating news of this one and of that, prais­ ing La Gobemadora’s courage and fortitude. Every one hung on his words, laughed at his sallies, en­ couraged him to talk; occasionally they would address her gallantly, but she was unresponsive. She wanted to retire. Angustias, where was she? Talking amiably in a comer with the fat wife of the ser­ geant. They were chatting confi­ dentially, laughing, whispering with arched eyebrows. Even Pedro the Younger, and the tittle Indian Es­ cabellito, were busy friend-making. Eulalia could hear their voices out- of-doors, screaming and laughing at some game. Every one was gay but she. She couldn’t bear it. “Your Excellency!” she called peremptorily to her husband. He came to her. “Well, my dear, he said jovially, “isn’t this tine! Ah, the kind friendly hearts of my .people—my friends! Don’t they warm your heart?” He was flushed with wine. “Pedro,” Eulalia said wamingly, “be careful. You- are so full of wine you need no more warming. But I am not warm. I am cold, aqd -tired,, and oh; how I want-to go to bed.' Please,- Pedro, may I be ex­ cused? Will the gentlemen pardon me?” “But—but,” sputtered the Gover- 'nor, “all the ladies have been wait­ ing to talk with you.” “But I’m so weary, Pedro.” “You mustn’t disappoint them. Just a few moments, my dear, visit with the ladies.” “Ladies!” La Gobernadora .flared at him. “Ladies! Soldiers’ wom­en.” “Eulalia!” “Camp followers!”“Eulalia, hush! Stop this at once." His mouth tightened. “I will not permit you to speak this way,” he went on in a low tone. “You are tired, I know. Perhaps you had better retire now. But tomorrow you must, see them .. You will make them some little gifts, you must be kind, cordial to them.” “I must?” She was trembling. “You must. Those are my or­ ders. The orders of the Governor of the Califomias, eh, my little Gob­ ernadora? Run along to bed.” He beckoned to Angustias who left her gossip reluctantly. Eulalia bit her lips to control their trembling and strained her eyes to keep back a rush of tears. “Oh, oh! How could he . . . how dare he . . . Dios mio . . .” A nausea gripped her. The low-ceiled room, close with smoke and tobacco and fumes of wine, swam before her. Her limbs quaked, and her hands were clammy, but. she rose grandly from her chair. The com­ pany sprang to their feet. . “Viva la Gobernadora!” toasted the men. She managed a graceful bow, and left the room, Angustias in her wake, eying her anxiously. The women gathered in comers and whispered, then slipped away, leaving the men to their talk. Don Pedro watched his wife de­ part, with a slight frown, end a doubtful unhappy feeling in his heart. Then he strode to the table and poured himself another cup of wine. “By heaven!” he roared, “ tou San Diegans make the best wirth I ever drank! Look at it, clear, spar­ kling, .ruby-red! And how it warms a man’s heart after a long weari­ some journey. I tell you, my friends, there is no vintage to match it in Italy, or Mexico, or Mother Spain herself!” He raised his glass. “To the wine of California! Amd to Cali­ fornia herself!” “Viva! VivaI Viva!" “A moment, my brothers, before we proceed . . .” AU turned toward the speaker. It was the newly ar­ rived Franciscan, Fray Mariano Ru- bi. ”... I am a newcomer here . . . that is to say, I have been sent here . . . among you, as a . . . I am . . . I want to propose a toast, also. I . . . say, a toast to Cali­ fornia . . . her grapes . . . her wine . . .” He turned to his brother friar who had risen beside him and taken-his arm. “What was I . . . about to say . . . eh, mi veijo?” he asked.Padre Lasuen was watching him with dawning horror in his fine old eyes. “Come; come, my Brother,” Fray BarUlome murmured thickly, look­ing wildly around -at the company. “Come . . . you m ustrest . . -, He is tired,” he explained, “I shall put him to bed. 'I have often done so. I mean I must assist him to his de­ votions . . . pardon us, please . . .” The two tottered from the hall, Fray Mariano still' trying to remember the toast he had composed. (TO BE CONTINUED) Grouse Bird of Importance to Scots, According to an Authority in London How in the course of. a century and a half the grouse has become a - bird of national importance in Britain, is related by Henry Doug­ las Home in The Field of London: ' “It is a fine morning in August, 1773. Boswell turns to Johnson, whose eyes are still weak from the firewater, drunk , by barbarians be­ yond the Solway: ‘Do you suppose these bills will become valuable on account of these excellent moor- fowl?’ ‘Please don’t be stupid at this early hour. These barren moun­ tains will never produce anything of value to a civilized people. - No one can stomach their- melancholy emptiness.* - “The disgruntled, doctor would have been astonished 'to learn that the moor-fowl would prove more, valuable to the Scots^than the host of quails which’ saved the Israel­ ites from an awkward’predicament. Perhaps in some far- distant sphere Boswell turns . to . .Johnson each twelfth of August: T told you so.’ (The doctor’s reply would be banned in the Field.) “A century later the grouse:had become a bird of national impor­ tance in the internal economy of Scotland. Some idea of its value at the beginning of the century may be gathered from the fact that the Committee of Enquiry into Grouse Disease estimated the annual in­ come from grouse rents in Scotland to be over 1,000,000 pounds. The grouse has introduced prosperity into many poor districts.' It has been a cause of railway and trade expansion, Ithas supptied theneo essary funds for the increasing de­ mands of education,- roads and oth­ er public services.” Esqtriline.

Soon after it was the fashionable residential por­ tion of the city. Virgil, Horace. Maecenas and Propmdius ' were among its residents.

Try them if you have not had much flower- growing experience. If you want brilliant color in your garden with a minimum of effort, grow petunia and zinnia. They require a bit of care early in the season, but when estab­ lished they grow luxuriantly, and nothing provides more color. Use portulaca for colorful edging along walks or drives. Quick blooming flowers, accord­ ing to Gilbert Bentley, flower ex­pert, are the nasturtium, Virginia stock, zinnia, sunflower, bache­ lor’s button and alyssum. For a window box, petunia, nas­ turtium, lobelia, ageratum, pansy, annual phlox and verbena are ef­ fective. Even though you may have ex­ perienced trouble with wilt and rust ruining asters and snapdrag­ ons, you still may grow those flowers. There are rust-resistant strains of snapdragon and wilt- resistant strains of aster.

IftSft T ile* fo r F loorin g U sed . a s Far; B ack a s in 1222 In the Middle ages Ules were used lor flooring in the churches and oth­ er religious buddings.' One of the earliest references to tiles is a grant given by'Kinf Don Fernando el Santo,, in '222, for the making of tiles at TaIavera,/ Spain. The manufacture of tiles in that country was imported by the Arabs. It at­ tained great importance in the Mid­ dle ages and is an industry in Spain. It is said the Alcazar, at Seville, is a perfect museum of tiles. They form the principal color motif of the gardens and attract as much atten­ tion if not more than the flowers, observes a writer in the Los Angeles Times. .In England we find they attained a high degree of excellence as early as the Thirteenth, century and con­ tinued being manufactured until the Sixteenth and even in some dis­ tricts until the Eighteenth century. Some of the English tiles of this time are most interesting. On one from Liverpool'-- are the words, “Prosperity to the United States.” .In the Seventeenth and Eight­ eenth ^centuries tile was largely used in Holland. The Dutch tiles often show Chinese influence in de­sign, as the Delft painters were familiar, with / oriental porcelain brought to their country by the Dutch East India, companies. Be­ sides a blue on a white ground, oth­er colors such as green, purple and yellow were used with a heavy lay­ er of gla2e overrall. Bouquets of flowers and birds after the Chinese manner were subjects for decora­ tion. Their paintings declined in the Eighteenth century. P rayin g M antis R elative o f th e B u sy G rasshopper - The praying mantis, which de­ stroys harmful insects, is a relative of the grasshopper, according to an authority in the JNew York World- Telegram. The grasshopper/eats plants. But this does not suit the mantis—he must eat meat. The mantis is a can­ nibal. It thinks/nothing of eating its own kind. The female has been known-to eat the, male after the r.ialing'is over and the male is no longer of any usefulness in preserv­ ing the. race. The female is larger than the male. It is claimed that the mantis can paralyze its. victim with fright. This is. easy to understand because of its enormous size in contrast to the size, of the insects which moke up its food supply. The mantis rears itself by means of the hinges in its back and holds its arms aloft. It then remains mo­ tionless. When, a luckless beetle flies past the mantis' reaches out with , surprising , swiftness, in com­ parison to. its usual slowness in mo­ tion, and strikes With one arm. Now, the arms are lined with barbs and have ho difficulty in capturing and holding the choice morsel. 'The luckless insect cannot get away, no matter how it tries. Some­ times the mantis sits as if in pray­ er. Suddenly it sees an insect ap­ proaching, rises to full height, puts out an arm, throws wide its wings. The mantis is thus so frightful to its victim that it is paralyzed and falls an easy prey to the powerful ogre. That the mantis feeds on oth­er Insects makes-it a boon to man. F estiv a l o f H annklw fti a n T^j ’’ O ld J ew ish C eIebnN lM ' Many myths have grown up about the GbnuMcah lamps which at first burned outside the Jewish homes as ;the festival Feast Of Lights , was ) celebrated in the streets of Jerusa­ lem and the other cities of the/an­ cient world. Later, the. festival of Hanukkah became primarily a home - festival, and this, coupled with the fear of persecution, drove the' lamps indoors. The ceremonial of the Feast of Lights, as explained Iqr an authori­ ty, follows: On the first night one light is lit, on the second two, and on to the eighth. The tights are set in a place where people on the street may see them, in the. window or by the door. They are considered sa­ cred and must not be employed for any ordinary purpose. For this rea­ son a “servant light" (shammash) is placed next to them, which is used in lighting them.. ! Babbinical tradition accounts for ; this feature of the feast by the story I that when the priests entered the /sanctuary after the Syrians had been driven out, to light the per­petual lamp, they found • vial of . sacred oil unpolluted, which, under ordinary circumstances was only sufficient for one night, but by a ■ miracle lasted for eight nights, un­ til new oil could be prepared for the lamps for the candlesticks. There are exhibited examples of common day lamps from Graeco- Roman times and/brass, pewter, silver and gilded lamps of more re­ cent history, ornamented with his­ toric and religious, motifs. There are the upright lamps which were used in the synagogue and hang­ ing lamps for the home, whereon, the imagination of the designer was'' given free rein to embroider the tales of Jewish history and myth and the everyday objects of his life. Author of “Go West” JThe expression, “Go West, young man, go West,” was first used by John L. B. Soule in an editorial in the Terre Haute Express, in 1851. Soule .was editor of that paper and in his editorial he stated that Hor­ ace Greeley could not give better advice,-than this.'- It'became a fa­ vorite'saying of Greeley, who used it in a letter to' W. H. Verity in 1854 and again in “Hints Toward Re­ form” In the form “Go West, young man, and grow up with the coun­ try.” Seitz’s biography of Greeley mentions that on his . western trip to Buffalo and Detroit in 1839 he had yet to cry, “Go West, young man, go West,” for he concluded a letter by saying: “If I were a farm­ er without a satisfactory farm, I might . emigrate >;to the Far West; h u t I Should b e q u ite a s likely no t to wander beyond./the western boun­ dary of'Erie, cotmty, Pennsylvania.” Memorial tc Terrier Near Greyfriafs churchyard in Edinburgh, Scotland, stands a me­ morial fountain-and statue, erected in honor of a little Skye, terrier named/- Greyfriars Bobby., For 14 years after the death of his master in 1858, bays Collier’s Weekly, Bolv by guarded his grave day and night, protected from the weather only by a- simple shelter and fed by a res­ taurateur. Onevday he was found, lying across the grave, dead. And in tribute to his lffelong loyalty and devotion he was buried beside his -master..

He was distmguishpd'for his courage in 'the field and-for the number of his duels, /more than 'a thousand, most of them fought1 on account of his monstrously large nose. His writ­ings include a tragedy, “Agrippme,” and a comedy, "The Pedant Tricked,” from which Corneille and Moliere have freely borrowed\ideas.

Because so many people hoarded the metai coins (both silver , and bopper) during the conflict of 1861- 1865, small currency was practically drained from circulation. In order to make change for bills tendered in payment for: purchases postage stamps were forced into service. Various concerns produced little brass cases into which postage stamps were placed. Other people merely pasted unused specimens on pieces of cardboard and used them instead of money. One such card, coming to the at­ tention of a banknote designer, in­ spired him to propose fractional pa­ per money. He used that card as a model, copying the lapped stamps and adding only suitable inscrip­ tions and trimmings. The original engraver’s design shows that he even left the words “U. S. Postage” on each iff the stamp designs. A pencil correction, however, indicates that the Treas­ ury official who approved the idea eliminated the “postage.” The rest of the design was left intact and paper bills were issued with a face value of 25 and 50 cents. On them were reproductions of posh age stamp designs: the 2S-cent bill had brown Jeffersons, while the Slb cent had as many, green Washinfr Pocahontas CsSI .

And because. these now famous coal fields produced the best steain coals in the world, they have become known as -the "Pocahontas” coal fields and have carried the fame and name of Poca­ hontas to the farthermost parts of the earth.” •.

Signs of the administration’s approaching debility are already observable. The money is not holding out. Their days of the magnificent wast­ ing are drawing toward a close. Mr. Roosevelt has uncommon gifts that make for personal popu. Iarity, but tne poliicies of the last four and a.half years would have made any man a popular idol. A good magician, of a foul counten­ ance . and a • strident voice would have been beloved of the people as long as he gave men offices, other men joys and communities “ pro­ jects” —and Mr. Roosevelt has a pleasing face and voice.

The situations has it now stands in the legislature is that the bouse has adopted a ~relief program that cer­ tain groups in the senate threaten to sidetrack pending a senate in­ vestigation of state contracts. May we suggest that.the state’s obligations: to tbe unfortunate sbould be considered as one issue decided oh its merits and in tbe most equitable manner to taxpay­ ers and recipients of relief;-and that any investigation which tbe senate deems necessary be not al lowed to interfere with this enact­ ment. It was something of an achieve­ ment for the house to agree on a relief program almost unanimous |y.

Congressman Walter Lambeth is the second North Carolina,-.. Con­ gressman within a week to call it quits. He' is through with the national legislature at the end of his present term. Congressman Um-tead made similar announce­ ment % few. days ago. It would be intriguing to know why Mr Lambeth has tired of be­ ing a Congressman. Mr. Umstead said in bis state­ ment that he desired to return to the practice of law. Mr. Lambeth has no especial need, from a pecuniary :motive, to get into a line of private enterprise (hat will compensate him above that he'is now receiving as Con gressman. He is independently wealthy, One surmises that he merely has sickened of his job after eight years of it in Washington. ' Intimate friends know that his views have become ratber blueisb within recent months. Like mul­ titudes of others in this country, he isn’t sure what’s coming off. While in tbe main friendly to the major purposes of the New Deal, Congressman Lambeth has been rated a conservative and, therefore; unable tp follow with blind devo­ tion many, of the pet projects of the President. Although belonging .to the caste of the rich, Mr. Lambeth is a 'so­ cial-minded. humanitarian soul who would like'to see many of the I pre­ sent economic injustices prevailing in ’ America wiped out, but he has been unable to bring himself to believe tbat such 'a reformation can be made to i come entirely by legislative fiat, or.iu a fortnight. For that reason, although quiet and unobtrusive .in. hts attitudes, he has ttever truckingly caught on to the coat-tails'oi the President and sub^cribed to the political f«tish. that “ the:King cau-do do wroag.” He has consistently maintained an independent' mind'.—Charlotte' Ob­ server.

From the port of Loreto, a large cavalcade loaded with Eu­lalia’s party starts out .for the long overland trip. Eulalia, accustomed to luxury and comfort, bitterly regrets having been per­suaded to come. The two priests. Fray Aforiano and Fray Bartolomeo, call on her and arouse her suspicions as to their genu; lneness. As the cavalcade stops .at various, missions, Eulalia hears rumors of the ap­proach of her husband. While Don Pedro plans a great fiesta to welcome his wife, Eulalia- plans her costume. Don Pedro pre­pares the great fiesta' and welcomes his beautiful wife and young son. EtdaUa is toasted as the Queen of the Californias. On the long journey to Monterey, the reunited couple are royally entertained at the Pre­sidio at San Diego. Eulalia disapproves rof the democratic telations of Don Pedro and his people.. Pleading weariness In the midst of the feast she leaves. CHAPTER IX—Continued —7— The Governor had risen to his feet, his face'congested', with varied emotions.'- Across from him Father Lasuen stood and looked at him with a white face. tlWhy, your Excellency I” he stammered. . wVour Ezcellencyl What means this? Are these mien priests? Franciscans?” Fages nodded shortly, and looked at the table. Lasuen wrung his hands, as the rest of tlie company sat silent, look­ing at the two. “But, Don Pedro, are those the two for whom Holy Father Serra has prayed day and night for months? If they are, Fray Fermin Lasueni it is Satan and vot Heaven who has sent them. With them came dispatches from the Femandine College in Mex­ ico City saying they were being, sent to California as a punish­ ment fortheir sins. And the re­ port went on to say that they were the scandal of the.college, had brok­ en every rule. committed every sin, petty or grand, even to scaling the walls of -the dormitory and going abroad in the city at night, scarcely on deeds of virtue bent” , i "My s Jioor. Brother.. Juniperol” grieved Lasuen. • Fages sighed heavily; - all the heartiness tod fled from bis man­ ner. ‘I find I am too tired to discuss this further tonight. If you will ex­ cuse me, I will retire now. Per* haps a .new sun will bring a new light to my problems. Buenias nochesl” Once in her quarters, the control, that had held Ia Gobernadora in leash vanished. She paced the narrow- floor, she wept; AngusQas stood Iqr helplessly. “Did you hear him, Angustias? How did'he dare speak to me that wayl Ordering me about as though I were a slave, an Indianl Oh, how can I live? Oh, Angustias? what shall I do? Where shall I go? Hwe I am, Si' helpless prisoner, tied to a brute of a husband, in. this terrible place. Oh, my God, Angustias, say something, I can’t stand this . . . I shall .lose.my mind-. . She fell across -the bed ^sobbing. Angustias went to her. “Now, nina, now, now. Come. If Don Pedro scolded you, it is only because he loves you so much. You mustn’t behave this w?y. In the condition you are in . . The- lady whirled on her. “What do you know about my con­ dition? What do you-mean?.*' ■ “There, there, I know. You are going to have a baby. There, there.” She was trying to loose her mis­ tress’ hair. . ‘Ai,. ai de mil How did you know?” . ‘Oh, I observe things, my Lady. You are sad, listless. 'And you have circles beneath your eyes. You are a little sallow,, too.” CHAPTER X The King’s Highway was a royal toad indeed, as the Governor’s par­ ty traveled northward. ’It wound from mission to missionraround roll- ing hills,-along the tea,' or veered deeply inland to cross : clenagas whfere willow-borderedstreams sped to the^ sea through groves of live- oaks and sycamores. La -Primavera.'the ' Springtime, flewibefore them, strewing, the way with such myriads of wild-flowers that Vm ' fields- and bills seemed aflaime. - Golden poppies, purple lupin and hyacinth, wild cyclamen, - lavender and white, tiny wild blossoms splotchfed with gold and blue, spread the earth like a rich carpet woven on a ‘Persian'loom;. The soldiers dipped flowers be­ neath Jheir hats, over-'one ear.' Pedro the Younger decked the head- stall of hisburrowith clusters that nodded like- plumes on a knight’s charger. Often the Governor him­ self would stop the whole cayaL. cade'to" father aposy for La Gober. nadora; lupin and wild roses, or tiny, yellow violets. She would smile, and tuck, them in the bosom of her dress or in her hair. Eulalia had struggled against the spell that La Primavera wove round her, fought against succumbing to its drugging influence. But gradu­ ally the sweetness, the peace, the sheer beauty overcame her, and she found herself riding in--a state of relaxed comfort, not IiappineiSS,. not unhappiness. Sometimes at night, at their sun­ down camping-places, they would share a spring with wild deer; mountain lions would lie prone along the branches above them; or great grizzly bears crash through the brush, rear on startled Iund legs, and go clumsily and swiftly away. This was blissful Eden to the Gov­ ernor of California. To-him each day was a perfect jewel, polished, ' '''V “I ShaULose My Mind.” » complete; rich with every color of the ' rainbow/ sparkling, radiant in setting of -burnished- golden sun­ shine. Every morning he breathed tiie fresh beauty, and every night vowed that, even if the sun should never rise again, the beauty of the day that was passing had been suf­ ficient for all time. He grieved a little at each day's passing, for the next brought him a day nearer to.the cares and worries that awaited him- at Monterey. .The characters of Fray Mariano Rubi, and Fray Bartolome Gili grew even less impressive as the journey con­ tinued, and Don Pedro was forced to-the conclusion that the founding of the Mission Santa Barbara would have'to be abandoned. The-inevitable , conflict with; Juni- lPeiro Serra troubled himdeeply. At each of the missions, San Juan Cap­istrano and‘San Gabtiel Arcangel, where they had stopped he had been told that the Padre Presidente, trav­ eling alone except for the patient Pio, had made a visitation. At San Gabriel he had been grievously ill, at death’s door. Qut. he. had ral­ lied, !and gone limping' on his way. This alarmed,, annoyed the Gov­ ernor. He had issued an edict that the missionaries should not travel alone,-that they should have ait least one soldier for escort. This order the Reverend Father had evidently seen fit to overlook. That would: be- another disagreeable problem to discuss with Fray Junipero. Pedro Fages sighed, and tugged at his beard as he apprehended the endless* discussions, evasions and'bitterness-he was bound to en­ counter. Ambling slowly along, deep in cogitation, the Governor was star­tled when two members of his com­ pany dashed by him on their mules, and he caught sight of their brown robes streaming in the breeze they made.“Ai, those two!” he exclaimed, and took after Fray Rubi and Fray Gili. Before he reached them, they had dismounted by an Sidian maid­en walking in the tall yellow mus­ tard by the roadside. She wore notic­ ing-at all but a big-basket balanced on her shining black head and • tiny apron of . rushes. ' ■ - / At sigbt of - the two’ -monks she giggled, and made as thotighto slip away from them. Jfust as DonPe- droreachedthe, spot ,the two were trying to. detain her in a mostun- priestlymanner. The Cravernor raised his whip and roared. ; ‘Oh,' your ExcelIencyI" babbled the monks,: one after the- other. 'See, she is naked, poor little child. A naked .heathen! We wish to con- vert her, baptize het. here, at once! See, she is naked—” . ’ ! ’’I see,” said the Governor graven I^ . The rest of tiie cavalcade ap­ proached ;and La-Gobemadoradrew . to her husband’s side. “What is it?” she asked, then, catching sight of-the girl, gasped. - “Ah!” she breathed. “Ah! A-aht” She glanced swiftly'at her husband. He was looking at the girl, smiling absently. “She is naked,” said Eulalia; “Quite naked!”“Exactly. Nearly as bare as my hand, as far as I can see. Pretty little savage, isn’t she?” “She—” Eidalia-broke out violent­ ly. Then die changed her course of action. “Poor little thing,” die mur­ mured.': Don Pedro turned to her in ajiazement. “Poor little thing,” the lady repeated, “I must give her something to wear. Pedro, I must have some of my trunks. Have them brought here to me, please. I must clothe this poor .wild child. My duly to your people begins right here and now.” “But, my dear!” expostulated the Governor. “You"can not do this foolish thingf She does not need to .be .clothed. Her—her—well, her nakedness is covered. She is all right as she is.”“No, she is not. She must be clothed. My chests—” “Eulalia, if she needs clothes—” “If she needs dothesl Look at her.” “I am looking- at her. If she wants clothes she can go to the mis­ sion, become a Christian, and: have raiment given her. That is what the missions are for.” Eulalia smiled sweetly. “Perhaps. But I can not resist the temptation to grasp this oppor­tunity to do an act of charity. Will jtou please have them bring, up my chests, or' will I have to have An­ gustias do it?” “Very well, I will,” replied Don Pedro grimly. “But remember this. In Monterey' there are no shops, no mantua-makers. No placesto buy clothes, or materials,-so one to make them.. The supply ship comes twice a year with-'goods for the: presidio-store, -stuff for the sol*, diers’ women. Cotton goods, ! don’t know what you call them, but 'I know you never wear them. And there is no telling-when, if ever, you will get aiiy.new clothes when these are gone. Do you understand?” rt-i-La' Gobemadora stared at him speechless. No shops? No silks nor satins? No shops? “I. do not believe you! You never told me this before. You mean to say that in the- capital of all the Cdiforiiias there is nothing to buy, and nowhere to buy it? In the cap­ ital?” Her voice was rising danger­ ously, and those about her moved away, pretending elaborately not to hear. When the: Governor - spoke it was-in a low but telling tone. . The Indian girl still stood uncon­cernedly in this center of-the-group, one hand on a tawny hip, the bas­ ket still balanced on her head, and eyed the white man on the horse. Kie two frailes leered at her avidly and whispered. “That is just what I do mean. I should think you'would know that without my--telling you; If you still persist in giving away, your raiment, however, you may. But you will see that Monterey is—is Monterey.” Eulalia wa& thoroughly alarmed,- apprehensive, but stubborn. Don Pedro gave some brief orders. Soon the boxes were unloaded from the pack4>urit>s who rolled'and snorted in the grasses'and wild-flowers when their ,burdens -were removed.The lady and Angustias dismount ed and began'opening the boxes. An­gustias’ face-bristled with an ex­ pression of disgust, but she forbore to make any remarks. Carefiilly she looked over the clothing, handsome things of costly stuffs and rich col- ors. But Euldia piled them on the ground impatiently. Silently, from among the bushes and trees; other Indians made-their stealthy appearances, and when Eu­lalia glanced up, she= saw. she-’was sutrounded by a ringof-girls and men in breech-clouts. “Ugh!” she exclaimed, “Angus­ tias, look at them! Give them some­ thing, quickly,for thelove.ofGodl” Nearer and nearer the tempting goods circled the natives. One youth, with a wild whoop, snatched at a red velvet skirt, and dis­ appeared. The others followed his example, and all was confusion. “Pedro, stop them! They will take anything,” cried the lady.' But the Governor sat his horse, laughing. ' Angustias was struggling with the screaming giggling girls when the Governor cracked Ws riding whip with a curt phrase, in Indian dia­ lect, and. the Tndiahs fled with their plunder; The last one to fade out ■ of sight, with a derisive grimace* and an Indian phrase that made the Gov­ernor chuckle, was the little original sin, the Indian maid who had caused the ado. Proudly she flourished her booty, one string of beads. Don Pedro dismounted and assist* ed h|s wife to her’saddle with great gentleness. Her face was.stony. “Eulalia,” said he in a low voice, “Eulalia, my dear.” But the lady rode on in a significant silence. A resolution was forming in her mind. Once at Monterey she would escape. When the supply ship reached the port she would go aboard, and return to Mexico. She might have to wait, this child might arrive before the ship. But'if not better to have the child: bom at sea, than in this barbarous country. Better death from drowning, or the pangs of seasickness; than stay­ ing here. If her husband would come with her, well enough. If not —well, she would go anyway. He ciiuld not stop her. Such a land! Naked Indians—adobe hovels—and no shops. Making lip her'm ind to this course, she felt better, stronger, and was busy -devising ways and means when the Commandante of Presidio of Santa Barbara,! Lieutenant Orte­ ga, came thundering toward them with a party of soldiery. The Governor and Don Jose Fran­ cisco Ortega greeted each other with punctilio, and the lady was presented. To her delight, the sol­ dier stooped to her stirrup, and talk­ ing her dusty foot in his hand, kissed it. Then he looked up at her. - “Senora.la Gobemadora!” he sa­ luted her. - “Welcome a -thousand times to California, and the Presidio of Santa Barbara! You are as wel­ come as the spring, that travels with you. Since it was known you were coming, everything has changed. You are needed, Lady, in California. We have been a land of men long enough. We are all your servants, humbly waiting for you to command us.” Eulalia bowed .deeply to him, and offered' her hand. The Comman- dante kissed that. “Do you desire dainties for your, table?” He con­ tinued, “We will' scour the moun­ tains for the rarest game,plumb the ocean for the finest fishes.' Do you wish wild fruits or .berries? We.will find them. Do you wish skins and pelts for your house or yourself? We will slay the finest fur-bearing animals for you. The- finest horses are yours to ride, the most docile Indians are your serfs, and we sol­ diers/all a loyal body-guard!”- / Eulalia beamed. “Ah, Lieutenant Ortega, you flatter me!” “NoJ A thousand times; not I tell you, Senora la Gobemadora, I am- as happy as a king.here, but I.find it in my heart to envy one man. And that man is Pedro Fages. -Not because he is the Governor of the Californias, -but because he is the) husband of your Excellency." ' >• (TO BE CONTtNVEbJ Old A rt of Making Furaiture by Hand Is Followed by Craftsmen, in Bermudar The deftness of the early settlers in Bermuda- in ' making household furniture from wood of the cedar trees they found growing on the is­ lands is preservied today, three cen­ turies later in many of their de­ scendants, writes a Hamilton, Ber­ muda, correspondent in the New York Times.While many Bermuda homes con­ tain pieces of antique furniture fashioned by the hands of men who fought against the sea to gain's foothold'ion/the jagged-coral shore, they also can show tables, chairs and bedsteads made by contempo­ rary residents -which follow- closely old designs and- methods.'-of the workmanship of the colonists. Little of the work is done pro­ fessionally, ‘because American and British furniture may bepurchaaed comparatively cheaply. But the Joy of the craftsman, inherited through several generations, manifests it­ self in the pride that is expressed In this typical Bermuda hobby;.. Only old cedar wood is used—wood that is-thoroughly dead, dry and aged; For this reason, beams and sup­ ports.of old houses, during course of demolishment, are eagerly sought by amateur cabinet-makers. -. This wood is extremely hard and a great deal of tiine and care are expended in manufacture of tiie fur-i niture. Calloused hands—for many, use only a sharp penknife—are th«j reward. The old gnarled cedar, however, is replete with fine knot holes. Polish is never used in the finish­ ing of the furniture; But wax and oil, used in small quantities, gives ir rich,, dull finish and, in addition,1 preserves the pungent fragrance of •the:cedar; After years' of use; .tiie pieces acquire a vpolish of their own through the mere process -of the weekly rub down. Carried Guns to Cbureh' ■ When the men loaded their fam­ ilies -into—wagons-or carts in -tiwi- eariy days of Obio to go to religious! service, they took their, guns along.' If on the. way back they saw a fowl or a wild animal and iftheir aimr was good. they could bring hom* something for - the - Sunday feast. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BABY CHICKS afs; Mprice list.

Sofar noone has publicly an­ nounced for any of the county of­ fices, either Republican or New Deal. The political pot in Davie hasn’t begun to boil—in fact, it is just beginning to simmer. There has been a hint to the effect that Senator B C. Brock would cast bis hat into the ring for Congress in this district. Attorneys Avalon Hall, of Yadkinville, and J, F Jor­ dan, of Wilkesboro, have already announced themselves as candidates • for Solicitor in this district. The ladies in Davie county, or at least some of them, think they are due some consideration, and it would not be a surprise to us if we have at ieast one lady on our county ticket this year Forty-Five Years Ago. Just 45 years ago last Thursday Feb 17th, the editor of The . Re cord went to work in a weekly newspaper office the Hickorv Mer- curv, owned and edited bv I F. Click, a former Davie county man With the exception of about five weeks, all of the past 45 years has been spent by this scribe m a news, paper office, in all the various ca pactties from office "devil” , to i printer, press feeder, editor, col­ lector, and everything else connect­ ed with a newspaper. A fellow who can stay in'the printing busi ness for 45 years and keep cut of jail or the poor house, deserves at least a ,few kind words. Ir is said the first forty-five years are the hardest. Here's hoping this is true Jordan Visits MocksvilIe Attorney J. F. Jordan, mayor of Wilkesboro. and a Republican candi­ date for Solicitor in this district, was in town Saturday shaking hands with the boys and letting'them know that he is in the race for the. posi­ tion held by John R. Jones for the past 12 year'B, Mr. Jordan met many of the Davie Rspnblicans while in town, and assured them that he was a Republican by birth and choice. Heserved in the army during the World War. and spent 14 months in France He is a graduate of Wake Forest College. Attention/ Farmers. it seems that almost every crop grown by farmers is affected by diseases or in­ sects and a farmer must add to his know Iedgeao understandingofpIant diseases. Withrhisin mind we have asked Mr. 0. P. Owfns, of State College, to come over and discuss diseases of cotton and tobacco. We have scheduled a meeting for 10:00 o'clock Saturday morning, Feb. 26, at the school building in Mocksville. Mr. Owens will have a series of lantern slides to show. This will require a dark room, therefore, we are having the meeting at the school building. He can show you some outstanding results in controling dis eases of cotton. He will discuss “Blue Mold” of tobacco but the control of this disease is still in the'experimental stage. If you are a cotton or tobacco farmer Mr. Owens can give you some very helpful in formation. Remember the time and place: IOdIO a. m Saturday. Feb. 26, at the Mocksville school building. D. C. RANKIN. County Agent, Davie County.

VonBrauchltsch Hitler Seizes Full Power A DOLF HITLER has made him­ self the absolute ruler of Ger­ many and has assumed full control of the armed forces of the reich, proclaiming himself “chief of national defense.” F ield Marshal Werner von Blomberg was re­ moved from the post of war minister; Col. Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goering, minister of aviation, was made general field marshal; Gen. Walter von Brauch- itsch replaced Gen­ eral Wemer von Fritsch as commander in chief of the army; seven army generals and six generals of the air force were summarily dismissed. According to the London Daily Herald, between 180 and 190 senior army officers were arrested in the German provinces.Reorganization of Germany’s dip­ lomatic corps was announced, the ambassadors of several European countries being changed. In the shakeup Joachim von Ri- bentrop was recalled from the Lon­ don embassy and made foreign min­ ister. No new minister of war was ap­pointed, but Gen. Wilhelm Keitel was named chief of the' supreme command and will rank as minis­ ter. Monarchy Plot Foiled D ACK of Hitler’s sudden grab of Al absolute power was a move­ ment among high army officers for restoration of the monarchy. It was revealed in Berlin that a secret speech delivered by one' general to a group of his fellow officers in which the return of the exiled for­ mer Kaiser Wilhelm was urged was reported to the reichsfuehrer and aroused his anger, hastening his de­termination to assume personal command of the armed forces. . Anyhow, the coup is a crushing victory for the Nazi government group over the army clique that had been - growing <■; daily- ■ more threatening to Hitler’s regime and that was said to be planning to force his gradual retirement. The monarchists’ plot, -it is said, included the elevation to the throne of the ex-kaiser’s second son, Prince Eitel Friedrich. Heinrich Himm- ler, head of the Gestapo or secret police, revealed it to Hitler. The. reichsfuehrer with several close advisers went to his Bavarian home and began planning for the next move, to be announced at the meeting of the reichstag scheduled for February. 20. Judging from the utterances of Nazi leaders, Hitler is likely to demand the return of Germany’s lost colonies, control of the free city of Danzig, and greater influence in Austria. London correspondents re* . ported that Great Britain was ready to sacrifice a colony to keep Euro­ pean peace, hoping to bring Ger­ many and Italy into a ten-year pact with Britain and France. .. —+— What Small Business -Wants TWELVE delegates from the "lit­ tle business” conference that held such uproarious sessions in Washington were received by Presi­ dent Roosevelt and presented to him a list of .23 proposals for the cure of their economic ills. These had been consolidated and .toned down from the pr.oposais conceived by the conference, the; Condemna­ tion of much New Deal legislation being omitted. The principal recommendations in the report were for easier credit for small business,' repeal of the un­divided profits tax, modification of the capital gains tax, equal respon­ sibility of employer and employee for (A)Servance of mutual labor J. C. Grew ate, but the agreements, the return of relief to local governments as soon as pos­ sible, the abandonment of wage and hour legislation and the immediate investigation of the' Wagner labor relations board.Through Secretary Early, the President announced that a -large majority of the recommendations seemed constructive and possible of fulfillment. Others, however, he felt, sounded well but were rather im­ practical. .It is known that the administra­tion does not want, the" undivided profits tax completely repealed. Neither does it want relief- returned to local governments; abandonment of wage and hour,legislation; or in­ terference with the Wagher labor re­ lations board. — - _. —- Japan Won't Tell Navy Plans TF JAPAN’S naval leaders have 1 their way, Tokyo’s reply, to the Anglo-French-American request for information as to Japan’s plans for battleship building will be a refusal to divulge them. This was the decision reached at a meet­ ing of the naval ministry and trans­ mitted by Admiral Yonai, navy minis­ ter, to Premier Ko- noye - apd ■ Foreign Minister Hirota. The foreign ministry wished to be moder- admirals were insis­ tent. Ambassador Joseph C. Grew pre­ sented the American demand to the foreign office in Tokyo, and similar notes were handed in by the British and French ambassadors. They asked the Japanese government to say categorically, on or before February 20, whether or not Japan is building or plans to build battle­ ships in excess of 35,000 tons, the limit ’fixed in the London naval treaty. It has been rumored for some-time that Japan was building or planning to build two battleships of 46,bOO' tons, displacement armed with 18 inch guns. This is denied by a foreign office spokesman. .-•The three western powers intimat­ ed that if Japan’s reply w as‘hot' satisfactory they might be com­ pelled to invoke Ibe escalator clause of the treaty mid themselves construct larger and more strongly gunned battleships. The position of Japanese naval men is that, since Japan is not a signatory of the treaty, her plans are no business of others; and fur­ thermore that her navy expansion is entirely “defensive.”- Our navy has plans drafted for bigger battleships and guns if their construction is deemed necessary. A vesselof 43;000r tons probably-would be the largest able to pass through the Panama canal unless its lodes are widened and lengthened. — * — HuD in Peace Talk "NOTWITHSTANDING the some- what. strained relations with Japan—or because of them—Secre­tary of State Hull In a nationwide radio address proposed that all na­tions make a “determined effort” to prdmote peace-through JimHathai-Of armaments and his pet reciprocal trade treaties. He asserted this country proposed to carry out this plan, but reiterated that it would continue to “render adequate our military and naval establishments. ’’ Urging all nations to promote nor­ mal healthy international commer­ cial relations as the surest road to pedce, , Hull said that if the.world, “shuts its eyes to recent disastrous developments” it would be an open invitation for recurrence of' the events of 1914 and 1929. He abhorred the recent “alarm­ ing disintegration” of international relationships, and said that-the race to rearm can only- result in further impoverishment of all nations. WHOtS NEWS THIS WEEK...

Ih Maxwell street, Chicago, long before the fragrance of. Bubbly creek ebbed and sank and saddened, there was a book-stall which was the Jewish Algonquin of those parts. The place was overrun with phil­osophers, some white-bearded and highly venerated, some young and contentious, all stirred by a fever­ ish intellectual: zeal. They , wolfed new books and started clamorous arguments about them, the way the crowds at the big pool hall down Tie street grabbed the box scores in (he late sporting extras. Sweatshop workers used to throng in after a hard day’s work and get in on the seminar.Wrinkled, merry, mischievous lit­ tle Abraham Bisno from Russia was the Erasmus of the sweatshop phil­ osophers.

He was a sweatshop worker, a man of amazing erudition, but of salty, colloquial speech, never en­ meshed in the tangle of print lan­ guage around him. He used to tease his friend, Jane Addams, of nearby Hull house, by calling her settle­ ment workers “the paid neighbors of. the. poor.” He liked to deflate the Utopians. boiling'things down to Gresham’s law of money, the law of diminishing returns, weighted averages or something like that. He was the first of a multitude of sweatshop economists who spread light and learning through Chicago’s Ghetto.Bisno had a bright-eyed, clever little daughter named Beatrice, one _. of several chil-The Bunos dren. Old sages,Pass Beyond up and down Max- Oar Kan well street, used " to say the world would hear from Beatrice some day. But the world went to war, regardless of Sir Norman Angell and all the other philosophers, and the Bisnos passed beyond the ken of this writer. About, twelve years ago, I had a visit from Francis Oppenheimer, a New York journalist. Beatrice Bis- no was his wife. She was going to write a book, and did I know of a quiet hide-out where she could write it? I sent them to the old Hotel Hel­ vetia, No. 23 Rue de Toumon, in Paris. She sat in the nearby Lux- embourgh garden and wrote her book.They came home and the book made endless round trips to pub­ lishers’ offices. The .smash of 1929 took the last of their savings. Today I had a letter from Francis Oppen­ heimer.“We finally threw the book in an old clothes basket,” he said. “Then, acting on impulse, we used our din­ ner money to give it one more ride. Weeks' passed; “Beatrice'fell iU. There came a letter from Live- right, the publisher. I knew it was another rejection and didn’t want to show it to Beatrice. But I tore open the envelope and hand­ ed it to her. Her eyes were glazed. She could not read the letter. It slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor.” And in the same mail today, there came to this desk a copy of the ■ new book, ^‘To­ morrow’s Bread,” by Beatrice Bisno, winning, the|2,500 prize award, the? judges bqing Dorothy' Canfield Fisher and Fannie-Hurst. That was the hews that Mr. Oppenheimer picked, up from the floor when his wife was too ill to read it. Dorotiiy Canfield Fisher says of the book: “A searchingly realistic portrait of an idealist. What- an idealist does to. the world and what the wurld:does.to an idealist is here set down with' power and sincer­ ity.” , Winsome little Bisno is gone.

National Topics Interpreted . by William Bnickart H sU oaM t P n s s BoIldtDk Wiwblnaton, P. ft • Washington.—A good: many per­ sons in Washington still are arguing , . the point.whether ThU .; Prerident ROose- Conferenee veltand Secretary ’ Roper,: of the De­ partment of Commerce, made a mistake in arranging for the so- called conference of nearly a thou­ sand “small” business men. The conference that turned into a near riot provided plenty of publicity, if that was what was planned, but it was publicity of a distinctly bad sort from a political standpoint. On the other hand,' some way, some how, there came out of that confer­ ence a score or more of recom­ mendations, and. some of them were the . very ‘‘recommendations” which Mr. Roosevelt wanted from “busi­ ness interests.” It is a new vehicle on which bureaucrats and advisers can ride. But before I attempt an analysis of the results that may flow from the conference, a review of the meeting itself should be recorded. The business men, widely publicized as being “smaU and independent fellows” were convened in the Com­ merce Department auditorium. It had all of the earmarks of a session for which a program had been drawn up here in Washington. It appeared to be cut and dried. No sooner had the session convened, however, than things began to hap­ pen. Since there were nearly a thou­ sand individuals, there were nearly one thousand different views, and the individuals sought in various ways to express themselves. The result of the first day’s meetings.. can be described, therefore, as nil —unless you want to consider the riot, the necessity for physically ejecting some of the members who became violent in their objections, as a result. It was a session in which shouts were heard about 'hand-picked chairman” and “log rolling” and “you can’t dictate to me.” With the first day’s session a flop, machinery'somehow was set in mo­ tion' for the second day so that a recurrence o f, the riot would be avoided. The conference was brok­ en up into group or sectional meet­ ings. It was hinted that big things could be expected from these in the shape of concrete recommendations. Well, we observers found instead that the big conference-riot of the little business men had been broken up into some ten or twelve smaller conference-riots. Just as an exam­ ple: one session was so 'uproarous that it was found necessary to call in the building police and forcibly throw out one tittle business man who measured over six feet and weighed plenty. Those were the physical phases of the • two-day conference. Yet, be­ lieve it or hot, there were “recom­ mendations” made by those nearly one thousand business men repre­ senting small businesses of the country. They were duly present­ ed to President Roosevelt who sent out word to the newspaper corre­ spondents xifterward that some of those recommendations were, in­ deed, quite constructive. I shall not attempt to set them d6 wn here. They would take more space than is available. I noted among them,- however, one item that urged the government to “es­ tablish a procedure to encourage and facilitate loans to small busi­ ness.” It recalled to me that there has been much talk among “ad­ vanced. thinkers”: in the administra­ tion that the . government should haye, an- agency- to,,make -loans . to, small businesses.: It was discussed in these columns recently. Undoubt­ edly, it was just a coincidence that this “recommendation” should come'from the small business, men while the advisers to the President were considering it.* * # Included in the recommendations, however, were proposals for the ad-- c . ministration to do Som e' A re several things that Pleased ■ thus far have not had .administra­ tion backing. One of these was a recommendation that- wage.- and.- hour regulatory legislation should be abandoned. No one seems to know from whence that item came; and it was variously reported as not having had the-“fuU support of the conference.” It may have been that even the 12 chairmen who car­ ried the recommendations to the White House meeting with the Pres­ ident performed a miracle—but there is no denying that the item was included and quite a few mem­ bers “of "the" Democratic- party in congress were glad to see it. So, the. conference has been held- and its work and efforts to solve the depression problems are spread on the firstpages of .newspapers. ■ The results in this direction would seem to justify Mr. Roosevelt’s recent, intimations that the business men do not know what they want. Such a ,.view would be rarrect if the con-, ference itself had been representa- tive. True, ;-the. delegates came from all sections of- the country. True, all excepting a very feW'were of the type/known as small business men. But it must not be overlooked that the conference was planned, invitations extended and - program written from Washington. I think it is quite unlikely that men would be' invited-without somebody in the ad­ministration having knowledge of their general attitude toward the New DeaL ’There actually/may be 'something to . the charge that was variously hurled in the sessions that chairmen were hand picked and that , there was a bit of log rolling done,, just a .teeny, weeny bit of it. Concerning the after-effects, one can hear many observations. Sonie say. that the bulk of the small, busi­ ness men-went away from Washing­ ton nursing a grudge; others add that many of the delegates. went back home with'.a sour idea of gov­ ernment conferences and, therefore, with, a willingness to ridicule the administration, and still others hold the conviction that the very confu­sion that came from the meeting provided Mr. Roosevelt with the horrible example that he., wants in his criticism of business leadership'. It seems to me there is ground for each of these three conclusions. Time, alone, will disclose, the ulti­mate effects. Mr. Roosevelt may- utilize the recommendations in a fireside chat or a message to con­ gress. Some of his advisers may bear down on the lack of agreement and understanding among business men. Or, the whole thing may be treated very seriously and an at­ tempt made to convince the country that' the administration js being guided by what it. believes the busi­ ness interests want—as shown in the recommendations of the conference. * * . * The Treasury laid some stress on announcement the other day that it _ will begin a seriesTreasury of borrowings late to Borrow this month that likely will be the last borrowings by the federal gov­ ernment “in this generation.” It was stated that between 200 and 300 millions will be borrowed dur­ ing the next several months, but that June tax payments and subse­ quent1 collections willprovide mon­ ey for current needs. That is to say there will be no need for “new money” which is money borrowed out of the money market or banks. It has not been made clear how the Treasury will accomplish the objective of cessation of borrowing at this time. President Roosevelt has predicted that there, will be a deficit of about one billion dollars in the next fiscal year. A Treasury deficit can mean only one thing, namely, that the amount of income is less than the amount of the ex­ penditures. Something appears to be screwy in a circumstance where there is a deficit of a billion and only a few hundred millions have to be borrowed. However it may be accomplished, it is hopeful to think that borrowings are going to be terminated. The Treasury has. been doing it for a long, long time. Ith in k itis about nine years that the Treasury has faced a deficit each year and there has been .new money borrowed to pay the bills. Those borrowings ranged anywhere from half a bil­lion. during 1930 to more than four billions in 1933 and 1934. The Treasury’s announcement ex­ plained that the Treasury would re­ ceive more than one billion dollars for the account of its trust funds during this year. Trust funds are segregated moneys, such’ as the fund for payment of social security benefits. Well, it strikes me as a bit unfair to say the- Treasury will not borrow any new money this year, when .,it ,actuallyis, borrowing from the social security fund. There is no' violation of law in that course, because the law says the. social se­ curity funds must be invested in government bonds. * * • The borrowing from social secur­ ity funds calls attention to anoth- A er phase of gov- Another ernment finance. Phase Those hinds come from payroll taxes. They are taxes paid by the workers as well as by the. employer. It has occurred to me, therefore, that, unlessi thegovernment’s !reve­ nue can be made to balance its ex­ penditures, sometime in the future workers will.want to obtain payment’ under the provirions' and there will be nothing but government bonds'In'the fund. Further, there is every iMsribility—indeed, I be­ lieve it is a probability—that these payroll taxes are going to bear more heavily on the workers of the future than they do today. There seems little doubt that the 'social' security"’ dream - ish ere - to: stay. Unworkable as- it is, there will be no politician with sufficient courage ever to tell the voters of his constituency that the social se­ curity act will. fail.

New1 They all but shatter into atoms the “nothing new” idea. So “different” are this season’s prints from those that have gone before, one marvels at the magic art of designers who can achieve such refreshing newness in both pat- temings and color effects. Speaking of the- new-this-season prints, picture to yourself a silk with graceful wavy stripes with a wide floral bordering of gorgeous red roses and violets and daisies and green foliage. Imagine the pos­ sibilities a silk of this type offers. We saw just such a print made up simply-in a frock, the gay floral bordering used . for short puff sleeves and for a wide corselet girdle, contrasting smartly the •neutral colored stripes—charming to wear under your fur coat instant- er! Stripes, by the way, are playing a tremendously important role in current prints. For that- matter they are running rampant through­ out the entire'program of fashion. There’s a newness in the way stripes are made to go round and round this season although any which-away is all right for stripes nowadays—up, down, around, diag­ onal seamed together at right ang- gles, play with stripes at your own sweet will and you will be “in style.” See the smart daytime dress to the right in the picture. It is typical of the new stripe trends. The silk print used is patterned with baya­ dere stripes alternating a chain-de- sign stripe in cathedral colors -on a black background. Note the hat. It is modeled after the much-talked- about “M” hat Agnes created for Marlene Dietrich. The distinctively new half-in-half treatment given to the print plus black crepe dress to the left is in­teresting. Hereyouseeabeigeand white lacy print on black ground meandermg down into the hemline where it is gracefully appliqued in long slender points on to a black silk canton crepe hem. The wat- teau neckline is set off with rhine­ stone and amber clips. The hat worn is a modish black straw Irish stovepipe type, trimmed with beige grosgrain bow. The mention of beige reminds us to tell you that fashion is making -a big splurge over the new cereal shades stressing particularly wheat colors and cornflake tones, all of which relate to the beige family.Another color innovation in prints is the black and white combination that is enlivened with a single color accent. A silk print of this descrip­ tion fashions the dress centered in the group. It is a black and white floral wito a one-color lattice design traced throughout.- The silk crepe belt .picks, up-the .tomato-red color in toe lattice print. The black high- side-roll brim hat is a stunning af­ fair, that gives you an inkling of that which is to be during the com­ ing months.

You can’t tom around in fashiondom this season without hearing toe call for pleats, pleats, pleats and “then some” in toe way of added pleatings.

PRIMARY TOPlC-A Man Who Went Home-WelL .JUNIOR'TOPIC-^Wliatla a Man Worth?WTERMEDlAns - AND - SENIOR TOPIC —What Am I Worth? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Putting People Before ProfiL Awful is the scene that meets us as we go wito our Lord across toe sea of Galilee and -draw up to toe shore, of the country of the Gadarenes. Distressing beyond words is the plight of the man Who is under toe power of a: legion of the demons of Satan;.'inspiring is toe assurance that Christ is victor over toe devil and his hosts; soul-search­ ing is the disappointing picture of toe . men as toey evaluate their brother’s spiritual need over against personal-gain. The same mighty conflict between the two great spiritual kingdoms, of good and evil, God and Satan, goes on in our day. Jesus Christ is still greater . . . than he that is in the world” (I John 4:4). Equal­ ly true is it that we must each, one of us choose what is to be our at­ titude toward the conflict, and es­ pecially toward toe Christ. I. The Power of Satan (W. 1-5). Foolish men sometimes speak boldly about Satan as though he were only a weakling, or perchance but a creature of legend. The devil, who is but one being, operates through many evil spir­ its, or demons. They are every­ where active, and it appears from Scripture that toey seek a physical body through which they may'func­ tion. Demon-possession, which was so common in our Lord’s day, still exists, especially on toe mission -field. Thereare spme whobelieve that toe almost unbelievable cun­ ning and brazen wickedness of mod­ em gangsters is an expression of demoniacal control. The text graphically portrays what becomes, of a poor, soul who has gotten, into the clutches of Satan. It is a dark and terrifying picture known to us even in this year of 1938. But, thank God, there is a wayof deliverance. 1 H.. The Victory of Christ (w . #- 13). ' The command of Jesus (v. 8) evi­ dently preceded the cry of the de­ mons (v. 7). Notice that the de­ mons who hated our Lord had no doubts about Hip being the Sqn of God. They knew Him. Howstrange it is that many voices that deny His. deity come from the pulpit, toe professor’s chair, or over toe radio, in toe name of Christianity! The demons knew His power, also, for though toey adjured Him.not to torment them, toey realized that toey must obey His command to “come out of the. man.” They asked permission to enter toe swine. In. The Perversity of Man (w. 14-17). The keepers of the swine fled to tell' the owners. They and others came to see what had happened. They saw toe demoniac seated, clothed and in his right mind, “and they greatly rejoiced and 'magnified the name of toe Lord.” Did they? No,, indeed! “They were afraid” (v. 15),. “and they began to pray him to depart” (v. 17). Why were toey afraid? ' Two rea­ sons are suggested. In toe first place they wanted no spiritual ac­ tivity that would interfere wito their business. Swine w ere'of more value in their sight than the libera­ tion of demon-possessed men. They have their successors in our day. Such are the men who rent their buildings for taverns and dance halls because toey want money. Akin to them are those who counsel, against the expenditure of money to keep the church open, toe Sunday school operating, and for. toe send­ ing of missionaries into fields white unto harvest.. A tract entitled “Suppose", asks the pertinent and searching question, “Suppose I were offered $10,000 for every soul I led to Christ; would that impel me to do more than I now do because of toe constraining love of Christ?” Another reason for their fear was that they did not want to be dis­ turbed in their state of spiritual somnolence. Someone has said that the reason toe church of our day does not have a revival is be­ cause: it doesn’t want' it. H-revival fires began to burn crooked'things would have to be made straight, worldliness- would have to be put away, toe pursuit of money would have to be set: aside -while men sought souls.

And he is a farmer, but he’s also an in­ creasingly important figure in the indus­ trial world, not only as a consumer but as a producer. He’s engaged in hoeing up a field of soy beans which later, after passing through various factory proc­ esses, you'll be using In the form of paint and varnish, soap, linoleum and scores of other products. Consumers In­ formation points out that 91 million pounds of soy bean oil, a comparatively new crop for American farmers, was produced in one recent year. Of this amount, 2*4 million pounds went into the soap kettles, 5 million into linoleum and 13 million into' paint and varnish. This brand new market for American farmers, who are now growing a large number of industrial as well as food products; has been developed, like many others; through the vast research pro­ grams undertaken by American indus­ try, whose laboratories have added un­ told millions to the national wealth and also thousands of jobs for American workers. Swedenborg's Contribution to By MAX NEUBERGHR, M. O. \ Professor of the History of Medicine, University of Vienna ■' Everybody that has even made a slight acquaintance with the two chit* anatomical-physiological works of the Swedish Aristotle knows that there is scarcely a chapter in them but surprises us with brilliant anticipation of modern science. Wherever we penetrate into the mine of- Swedenborg’s i physiology we strike a vein of metal so rich that the united strenuous efforts of several savants will be needed to raise the whole of it. T artan Is U su al C ostum e of Children in Scotland. - It is . only at the Highland games that visitors will see many Scots in tartans, although the tartan is the usual costume of Scottish children and isTwom even by the younger princes- and sometimes the older ones of the British royal, family, writes, a correspondent in the Los Angeles Times. ' Highland costume is'made up of two parts, the plaid, a piece of doth four to six yards long and two yards wide unfolded, one end of which is caught up over the left shoulder with a brooch or pin, and the kilt. The Sporran, one of the most con­ spicuous parts cf the costume, is the shield-like piece usually covered with white horse hair and black tas­ sels which hangs in front of the kilt. It is both novel and useful, for it is in reality a large purse. . Tracing the ancestry of a Scot in Highland costume is an easy mat­ ter for one with a knowledge of tar­ tans, for all Highlanders once be­ longed to clans and each dan had its own pattern for its tartan. De­ scendants of the old Scots determine what tartan they wiU wear in one of three ways: they: may wear that of their mother’s dan, that of their father’s clan, or if they ’have served in a Highland regiment, that of the regiment.' No Scot would think of wearing the tartan of an­ other’s clan, and in the old .days the clans regarded their particular tar­ tan so Mghly that they considered anyone who assumed it to be under their spedal protection.

J t was his cus­ tom to dear loamy spots in the vir­ gin forests; on the banks of streams, plant there the apple seeds he had . obtained at cider presses in western Pennsylvania, inclorie the ground and then leave the place until the trees began to grow. When settlers appeared • in the .vicinity Johnny brought them his young trees to trade them for an old coat or a knife. But . his needs were few and be often gave away his trees or left his little orchards, to grow up undisturbed.
