Constructive Proposals of
William R. Hearst

Widespread endorsements in Washington and throughout
the country of the constructive proposals of William Hearst
for caring for unemployment and for restoring
business conditions but evidence Of the appreciation Of
statesmen and business leaders for definite plan instead
random schemes and advice
Before the recent conference Of of the nation
there this lack of constructive propositions change
existing economic conditions Instead there was the putting
forward Of political issues for next year by prospective cand
dates for presidential nominations and their hackers
The young governor of Minnesota told his colleagues that
the real issue before the nation and year is and
viii be, do work and do I eat?'
Mr. Hearst did not put the matter in this bald style that
he realized this to be profound issue manifested in mis-
sound proposals that steps be taken by the Government
furnish all unemployed with work at the prevailing rate of
prosperity wages, which would leave doubt that all
hungry people will eat.
The farseeng vision of Mr. Hearst naturally attracts deep
thought and will continue to stand before American leaders

NOSey?
You have been called nosey

You are genuinely interested
in all that goes on around you

You can't understand how
anyone could call you such a

You can't deny that you have
not tried to find out plenty
about your friends and

But your motive was for the
general good and for general
knowledge.
You did not mean to pry in
the sense of "noSey" person.
You perhaps let your interest
get the better Of your discre-

You have become too inquisi-

You have dug in too deeply
in what some have considered
personal matters.

professionally. She'd be more
inspiring and stimulating but
to most men-not as restful
or flattering as the Home Girl.
A man could be proud Of her.
But perhaps he couldn't be as
sure of her. Having worked
with many men. she might
want to keep them as friends.
She certainly wouldn't permit
even the best loved husband to
monopoliZe her or dominate
her.
A Fine Companion
AS a comrade, she'd be grand.
But as a Dear Little Woman,
she'd probably be an awful
flop.
So here's what Ranny wants
to know-WHICH OF THESE
TYPES WOULD MAKE THE
BETTER WIFE?
The woman who knows moth
ing of the working world. E.
whose interests are -concen-
trated on her home and family
...who will never talk shop,
nor understand it. who may
irritate by her jealousy but
who will also flatter by her
helpleSSneSS and innocence.
Or the woman who is part Of
the mans world. whose inter-
ests range, with his, outside the
home. who will insist on talk
ing shop and possibly make a
better record than his, as a
worker. who will be more
broad-minded but also more in
dependent.
WHICH WOMAN WOULD
MAKE THE B BETTE r LIFE
COMPANION AND WHICH
WOULD MAKE THE BETTER
MOTHER?
Is the idealistic. sentimental,
unframed and inexperienced
woman a better guardian for
a mans babies-or the practi-
cal, experienced woman Of the
world?
Tell Ranny. He wants to
know.

the intelligensia in America to-
day is in jeering at democracy.
We not only permit it, but we
protect our enemies in doing it.
The Communists have many
times, within the year, poured
forth their hate and contempt
for our form of government
while policemen stood about
to see that no one interfered.
Imagine such a thing in Italy
or Russia. In England, where
they also have democracy, the
same thing happens. The re-
suit is that those Opposing
forms of government in these
other countries do not have
to submit their cause to the
arbitrament of debate; we do.
Perhaps among the masses
Of the people this is considered
weakness on our part. But
it is the weakness Of demo.
cracy-and of liberty; and both
have their elements of strength.
Many of our intelligensia,
sneering at democracy and
praising the superiority of
other forms, would do we'll not

Mussolini, one of the strong
men of the world, has an
nounced that his regime "has
firmly decided not to tolerate
those anti-Fascists so far
spared" He is to wage relent-
less war upon every one who is
not in hearty accord with his
concept of government. 1t is
a perilous thing for any one in
Italy to question any govern
mental act or confess to any
partiality for democracy.
This is precisely the attitude
of Stain and his regime in Rus
sia. Not only is it disastrous
there to admit to any doubt as
to the wisdom of communism
because of the firing squad. but
there is E. disposition to make
it increasingly difficult for any
but those strong in the faith OF
communism to eat.
In neither country would
anyone dare stand up in public
meeting and make an argu-
ment against the existing gov.
ernmental forms or urge the
possible advantage of democ-
racy. This is one way to rule.
It is possible only where the
State. is everything and the
individual is nothing. 1t has
the advantage of relentless
strength. It is always possible
under such conditions that
hidden resentments and hates
may finally come to the sur
face in revolutions but there is
not much danger of them in
either Italy or Russia now.
Where Democracy
Is at Disadvantage
Democracy, which has some
respect for liberty, is at a
disadvantage in comparison,

ernment to take their stand

ASKS ZONE CHANGE
TO PERMIT PORCH
Jesse S. Peterson Unable to Erect
Addition Because it Would
Extend Over Line.

A petition asking that the zoning
classification of an entire block of prop
erty be changed from second CONNER
cial to residential has been filed with
the Zoning Commission so that porch
may be erected as an addition to a
dwelling.
The reason for the requested change
is that under the District code, in the
case of commercial areas, additions may
not be erected which extend beyond the
building restriction line as would be the
case in the property named in the Pc
tition.
The south side of E street between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets
southeast is the property concerned in
the petition, filed by Jesse S. Peterson
of 1861 E street southeast.
This is one of nine petitions filed
with the commission for action at the
next public hearing of the body, to be
held in October.

There has been a gratifying decrease
in the number of homes foreclosed,
Lusk reports. The survey reveals that
there were 587 houses foreclosed during
the first half Of this year, as compared
with total of $50 during the first six
months of 1880. This represents a de-
crease Of 81 per cent.
AS compared with the SGT houses
foreclosed so far this year, the number
for the same period of 1923 was 1873,

All this seems to indicate that either

are true.

Tungsten Production
Dependent on Steel

another is shown in the production of
tungsten. This metal which is used extern
sively in the production of high-speed tools and
tools in which unusual hardness is desired, de-
pends for its financial success upon the steel
industry. The larger the production of steel,
the greater the amount of tungsten desired for
alloys and tipping. One short ton of tungsten,
when used in alloy with steel, is required for
every 1900 tons of steel ingots and castings.
The extent of oil-well drilling also has some
what TO do with the prosperity of the tungsten
industry, for it Is estimated that more than
100000 pounds Of tungsten is used annually in
tipping oil-well drills. The tungsten carbide
material used in toolmaking is highly valuable,
costing about 81 a gram, which Is SO per cent
more than the value Of gold.

Arplane Saves Sheep

AN airplane has condescended to take notioo
~ OF snail and as a result the sheep
raising industry of the Sierra valleys of Cali
fornia has been saved
An outbreak of liverfiuke, a parasite fatal to
sheep, was discovered and investigation indi-
Gated the afflction so widespread that experts
were frankly afraid that the sheep-raising
was to end in that section.
Scientists Of the Federal Government, to-
gether with California experts went to work
on the problem and after administering 300-
600 doses of carbon tetrachloride to the affected
sheep eliminated the disease for the time being,
but in land which was swampy in Springtime
only to become pasture land later in the year
the danger still lurked.
The larvae of the hverfiuke lived in the
swamp land, swimming about in the water in
search of a suitable host. This host was found
in the snails abounding in the swamp and the
fiukes quickly attached themselves to them.
When the flukes were ready to form cysts on
the vegetation, the water usually far
enough gone to permit this and then the sheep
became affected after eating the vegetation.
Because of the impoSsibility of spraying the
swamp land with copper Sulphate to kill the
snails, the problem seemed hopeless until q
plane was pressed into service. Once the plane
was obtained however, the conquering Of the
nverduke became an easy matter.
