WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page ~

in fact as well as in theory. 1t is
stated privately that leaders of the
opposition never expected to have the
senate reject Mr.. Hughes name. In
stead, it is said the debate was more
in the nature of a warning to mem
bers of the highest tribunal that
their function was to interpret the
law on the statute books without the
interjection of personal opinions. The
objections were based on what SEN
ators claim is the tendency of men,
bers of the supreme court to make
excursions into the field of economics
rather than stay within the confines of
the law.
The little red school house of song
and story will soon become merely a
happy memory. A report issued by
the government office of Education
shows that the casualty rate among
the one-room schools amounts to
5000 yearly. There are approximate
ly 10000 one-room schools still in
existence, but they are expected to
disappear in a relatively short time.
The government report shows that the
improvement of transportation facil-
tiles has much to do with the elimi-
nation of this type of school building.
Buses now pick up youngsters on
farms and bring them to centers of
rural education, where the facilities
are equal to those in the larger COM
munities. Curiously enough these
one-room schools are located in
states having the greatest mileage of
improved highways. The largest num-
Der of one-room schools are in Illi-
nois, where 10.105 of these structures
are still in use. The states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Kan
sas each have more than 1000 one
room schools.
The criticism of the administration
for adopting a so-called Pollyanna at
titude toward the unemployment ques-
tion has brought fire from the Hoover
forces. Much of the adverse COM
ment to the effect that the President
was suppressing the bad features of
economic conditions met with a de-
mand from the Secretary of Labor
that the early enactment of the tariff
bill will protect American industry
and relieve much of the unemploy-
ment. Secretary Davis placed the re-
sponsibility directly at the door of
congress. He claims that employ
ment is picking up. According to
the Labor department figures, more
than 100000 were out of jobs after
the stock market crash, which is an
impressive percentage considering the
fact that 100000 are gainfully en-
ployed in prosperous times. The De-
partment of Labor has admitted at
other times that it is almost impos-
sible to obtain exact figures on unem-
oloyment 1t is said that even when
times are good" more than 1000, 900
Are temporarily out of jobs, due to
various factors, including inefficiency,
aziness. ill-health. and seasonal de-
hands for labor

ASKOV SCHOOL NOTES /
esther Henriksen)

The Senior class gave a party for
the high school Friday evening. A
Sleigh-ride party had been planned
but due to the cold weather the sleigh
ride was postponed and the evening
was spent in playing games and stunts
in the assembly room. The athletic
organizations took sides in the differ
ent games The score had previously
been in favor of the Worm-Skinners
but is now to in favor of the Co
Devils. Everyone had picked up q
great deal of energy for the sleigh
ride but showed it in the competitive
games instead. The enacting of short
plays by several groups proved one
enjoyable feature of the entertain
ment. We never knew before what
potential circus material we had.

PROFIT TAKING CUTS

Professional Traders Are Heavy
Sellers in Pits-Market
Closes Lower.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August Grain traders
scooped their profits from the pits today
and wiped out On early advance, leaving
prices Of both wheat and corn below the
high closing marks Of yesterday.
Waves Of buying orders had swelled
wheat prices 4 cents q bushel and corn
az cents early in the day, but at the
close wheat was " to Ia cents under
yesterdays last prices. Corn ended the
day with losses of IA to AZ cents.
Trading, as yesterday, was in i'm
mense volume, with the public evinc-
ing an interest aroused by the startling
advance of the last few days. Today's
news from the dry grain belt showed
little change, the scattered showers be-
ing only OF regional benefit and too
light generally to freshen the burning
crop. From Saskatchewan came esti-
mates that a quarter Of the provincial
wheat crop would make only seed.
:" The market had started with an
other bullish demonstration and prices
varied quickly, but selling by traders
anxious to take their profits erased
all the initial gains Little support
was shown on the reaction.
Corn was still cents above wheat at
the Anal hour. September wheat end
ed at 96ss to " and September corn
at 99A to u; December wheat. at
1.017s to 1.02H and December corn at

licans Of the South are amply able 10
manage their own political affairs: that
the 1882 Republican national conven-
ton shall have q solid delegation OF men
and women, uncontested and unin-
structed; that the party in the South
has no less right to participate in the
councils OF the Nation than any other
section or group Of States, to stand
unitedly for the betterment and gen.
eral welfare OF the Southland and all
her people"
The selection Of delegates from the
South to national conventions "has been
nothing short of disgraceful," he con-
tjnued.
Every self-respecting native South
erner, regardless of his or her political
affiliations, will not challenge that
| statement he added What has
caused such condition in the past to
exist? My answer Is Federal patronage
used TO build up personal political ma
chimes.
THE impression seems always to have
| existed that Southern delegates for con-
ventions were to be secured only by
manipulation Of Federal patronage, and
in q very high measure this practice
succeeded UP to the preconvention cam
paign Of 1928. at which time q new
order of things was inaugurated and
carried out"

ECONOMIC UNITY
URGED BY CUBAN
Scientific Study of Problems
of Western Hemisphere
Is Advocated.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HAVANA, August 7.-Scientffic or
ganiZation Of business men in The "a
countries comprising the Americas, with
the elimination of selfishness and petty
jealousies in the interest of common
progress, is the somewhat novel plan
offered by DR.. Miguel varona y Guer-
zero as . solution to the present eco
nomic crisis.
DR.. Varona IL one of Cubas best
known economists and in his longr
career has been civil Judge, consulting
attorney to the department of public
works, chief of the national secret
police and for the last three years direc-
tor of customs.
Eight Regions Involved.
He proposed the organization, on q
technical basis, of the private actions
Of business men Of the Americas by
territorial divisions, technical aSsocia-
tons, technical functions, consultative
technical bodies, specialized univer-
stiles and technical experts trained in
a central institute.
Eight natural regions would be
created as follows: North region, Can
ada and the United States OF America;
south Pacific region. Chile and Bolivia;
north Pacific region Peru, Columbia
and Ecuador; Southern region, Argen-
tina, Uruguay and Paraguay; Atlantic
region, Brazil and Venezuela; Central
American region, Panama, Honduras,
Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica !;
region OF the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico.
Cuba and Guatemala; Antillian region,
Santo Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Control Board Is Urged.
Pan-American universities and q
technical institute would be established
TO train men under the most advanced
| principles of economies. From the grad
yates of these institutions would be
drawn the personnel of q continental
economic community which would serve
as the superior board Of the organi-
| zation.
| This board would be non-political in
character and would work on q basis of
cooperation among private corporations
and business men; its objective would be
the knowledge and solution of economic
problems. local and general; and It
would work In accord with q specially
outlined code Of civilized economy"
Harmonic Whole's Efforts.
| It would harmonic the economic
whole OF the regional divisions, study
and resolve on its own initiative after
hearing resolutions offered by the re-
gions, and its rulings would take the
form OF recommendation binding to
the letter, the unlimited autonomy of
the affected nations Notwithstanding,
when there Is a matter Of vital interest
TO the organization as a unit.
ut is poStulate,' DR.. Varona saws,
that physical force is declining power
In civilized countries. No matter IL
the world is arming, the real forces Of
future activity will be applied scientific
knowledge to commerce, industry and
international relations.
Our America presents a proper field
for their application, and pan-Ameri-
car1ism applied on scientific principles
to economics will be, with the co-opera-
ton OF all the nations Of America, the
strongest force Of civilization we have
seen"
