to Confirmation

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Labor
rates Owen J Roberts as "eminently
fitted" to be supreme court justice,
and President Green has so announc-
ed. At the same time it was learned
from Philadelphia that Roberts has
for long time been counsel for Local
101 Of the United Garment Workers
of America.
THE American Federation of La
bor," said President Green, will not
interpose any objection to the confr-
nation of the appointment of Owen
j. Roberts to the supreme court of
the United States. Such information
as we have been able to secure leads
to the conclusion that Mr. Roberts is
eminently fitted to serve as mem
Der Of the supreme court. His eX-
perience and training have been in
field where he has had wide oppor-
tunity to understand the problems
which grow out of human relations
in industry and those profound eco
nomic and social problems which so
vitally affect human relationships.
Labor insists that men appointed
to such a high and exalted position
as the supreme court of the United
States shall be able, qualified, fair and
just. We ask that in decisions af-
fecting the lives, well-being and lib
critics of the people righteousness and
justice shall characterize all deci-

RACE T|N|D|TY
IS RAPED

There is no hope for the
American negro until he is free Of
timidity,. stops blindly following
one particular political party, and
associates himself with a party
that will help solve his problems.
Walter White, acting secretary Of
the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People,
said in an address yeSterdy at the
Vermont Avenue Baptist Church.
Speaking Of the defeat Of Judge
Parker, who was nominated oy
President Hoover to be a justice
Of the United States Supreme
Court, the speaker said it was the
first time in Americna history
that the negro put aside religion,
education and other ACE issues
and stood up for a thing he
thought was for the betterment Of
the race.
The meeting, which was the
third of a series being held by the
local N. A. A. c. P. Chapter in con-
nection with its educational pro-
gram, was presided over by Miss

PLAN LAUDED
BY RECTOR

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 CU.S)
Monsignor Lavelle, rector Of st

Monsignor Lavelle issued the fol
lowing statement today:
"The stage condition con-
cerning which Mr.. Hearst writes

tainIy regrettable. The SYM
pathy Of his papers and nf
his own personality with those
who would help ameliOrate the
situation is very welcome and
should be fruitful.
Worthy Of Trial
"The remedy he suggests is
well worthy of trial. The prin-

that the public seems to abhOr

'Tt is difficult for many Of
us to see why. We censor milk,
water, food, athletics, buildings
and so many other things.
That is, we test them before
and not after they have had
an opportunity to do harm.
SeIf-censOrship is rarely eff
cient, especially when we have
to deal with people Of varying
conscience.
"But any step is q help, and
we need not lose time selecting
between methods that are rea-

Grasshoppers Cloud
Skies In Flight
From Desert

/ MARRAKECH, Morocco, Dec.
22.-The first great seasonal
flight of grasshoppers from
their parched breeding grounds
northward is now under way,
migrating in such large num-
bers over French West Africa
that they darken the skies.
The swarms are flying low
and may not cross the Atlas
range as they did last year. If
the mountain barriers are
cleared the pests may sweep on
to Egypt and Palestine strip
ping the country as they go.
This centuries old phenome-
non has occurred whenever un-
usual heat or prolonged drought
has dried up the green spots
in the Sahara where the grass
hoppers breed.

October And The Auto

I October Is a peculiar month for the motorist. 1t is,
Of ali the months in the year. the best for driving
out through the open country; yet there is something
in the air that makes one feel out Of place behind a
steering wheel. In October the automobile is an
anachronism.
October. in fact. is by way Of being an old fashioned
month. 1t calls back the flavor of forgotten days
and outworn customs. It's forests turn to flame on
the hills, and a thin blue haze drifts over farmlandS
and river bottom valleys; and the old days send out
ghosts. to come back and cock amused and Satire
eyes at the ways of the moderns. A dreamy peace
takes possession Of things-and the speedy. active au-
tomobile does not fit the scene at all.
In October staid city jewellers. who would be lost II
you took them half a mile away from the pavement,
recall their childhood days in the country. Shocks Of
corn. regimented on rolling fields like the wg-wams
Of Indian summer. bring back to mind the times
when, as a y%oungster, one played hide and seek among
them, burrowed inside Of the r~ustling stacks or fur
lively made fearful cigarets Of cornsilk- One can
remember driving in a buggy through the autumn
woocs. with the wheels sinking quietly into the sandy
ruts and the horse amiably ~plodding along at a three
mile-an-hour gait.
There isn't any place in a month like that for au-
tomobiles. For the hallmark Of October Is its sense
Of leisure. Of indolent and unhurried peace; and the
automobile is the chosen emblem Of an age which has
left leisure and Incidence far behind 1t.
Perhaps that is why the American Of 1890. taking
a drive through the October countryside. feels the
time-honored melancholy Of autumn SO strongly. The
brief calm OF Indian summer bespeaks q day when
people had more time to live than they have have
now; a day when there were fewer mechanical dis
fractions and less need for them, a day when sim
pIicity had not yet given way to complexity and hui
man life developed closer 70 the earth and its old
mysteries.
1t is not pleasant to be reminded Of this: for such
a reminder inevitably awakens, in the mind Of a city
man of 1880, the dreadful suspicion that he has been
bilked somewhere. 1t puts into his head the notion
that all OF this progress which he admires SO greatly
has possibly cost more than 1t has been worth. He
begins to understand how Esau felt after he sold his
heritage for a mess OF pottage.
The remedy, Of course, is clear. Avoid the country
highways in October. If you would keep your peace Of
mind. October. seemingly Srowsy and idle, is really
deceptive and hooking.

The Once Over

steel purchasers are more cautious than they have
been for years. Extreme conservatism is holding
back recovery in the industry."-Market letter.
That's the trouble, !" declared Elmer Twitchell to-
day, as he exhibited the above paragraph. America
is too full Of timid steel purchasers. Every fellow
you ask to go out and buy a few steel rails or some
thing gets SO cautious that he's pathetic.
What the country needs today Is some bold steel
buyers. We need some courageous ~outspoken citizens
who will come right out unhesitatingly and say. III
take a ton Of pig iron without hemming and having
all over the lot about the price. II you want TO ap-
preciate what real caution is Just stop the next ten
persons you meet and ask. How are you fixed for a
little steel or scrap iron?' They will so into their
shells so fast II will startle you"
Mr. Twitchell. readers may recall. Is the originator
Of the Buy Steel Rail movement 10 restore bust
ness prosperity. He launched a campaign several
months ago TO get every American to buy one rail
or its equivalent in ingots. bar plates or line pipe

III We want prosperity hack We should all throw
caution to the winds. phone the nearest steel mill and
place an order he continued. Il pointed out some
time ago that If every American adult would buy
one steel rail 1t would bring back a bull market al
most overnight. The timidity Is terrible. People get
scared and fidgety the minute you suggest 1t 10 EN-.
They Immediately ask what they would do with a steel
rail II they got it? Who cares what they would do
with it? Stick 1t out in the yard or shove It under
the bed. The idea Is to buy it and pay for 1t as a
matter OF duty"
What do you think makes people so cautious
about buying steel?" Mr.. Twftchell was asked.
There are many reasons" Elmer replied. "One
man I talked to was afraid TO buy any because he said
he thought that If he came home with a steel rail
or a load OF scrap iron he would have a hard time
explaining things to the wife. Another said he al
ways was cautious about buying steel because he felt
foolish carrying it. Another man said he would not
buy a single rail because the last time he bought
one the wife always left it some place around the
house where he would bark his shins on IL"
However" concluded Elmer, we must get rid Of
this steel buying timidity. My message to every citi-
zen is, BE a bold steel purchaser Don't hesitate
Don't delay. Go to the telephone now and say in a
clear distant voice. ] want a steel rail-"

Time Clocks For The Colds

fore going out. to mark down on a card the hour, the
place she was going and the name Of her escort. On
her return the hour would be marked down as well.
The problems of a dean of women in a big state
university are knotty ones, heaven knows: yet 1t Is
a little hard TO work up any great amount Of adj
miration for this particular scheme. Offhand. one
would say that II a girl Of college age must be card
