In connection with the outing and
celebration there is no finer place in
the country in which to spend the
whole day Fourth of July, with the
family or picnic party, than the But
Ter county fairgrounds. Easy of ac-
cess, whether you own an automo-
bile or not, great spaces of lawn,
plenty of shade, water, rest rooms,
benches and tables, protection in case
of bad weather, lunch and refresh
ments of all kinds, music, dancing,
entertainment, and, in fact, every
thing that one could wish for to make
the big day hummer. And the
beauty of it all is, the place is so
near by that when one is all tired
out and ready to beat it, they don't
have the dread of starting for long
hike home staring them in the face.
So get the missus and the kiddies
together, or if none such, yet, make
up a party, load the baskets and
make day of it as the Eagles guests
at the fairgrounds July Fourth.

STRINGS TO ALL BIG
COLLEGE GIFTS

Madison Wis.-"Not 81 has ever
been voluntarily or uncqhditionally
offered by any incorporated educat-
ional foundation to any school in the
United States," said Daniel H. Grady
former regent University of Wis
consin, in a luncheon address in this
city.
The speaker defended the Board of
Regents an which he served when it
refused to accept corporate founda-
tion gifts.
Explaining that he has no objection
to voluntary gifts of individuals to
the university, Mr.. Grady said:
bylaws of these foundations ex-
plicitly state that applicants for funds
must give specific showing of flnan-
cial neds. That is one point which
newspapers that attack the univer-
sity's policy on gifts has not made
public 1t places the State in the posi-
tion of admitting itself incapable or
unwilling to support its university" 7"
Mr.. Grady declared that corporate
foundations not only pecessitate a
state begging for funds, but newt
ably they demand that credit due to
the work of the state institution be
transferred to the endowment which
provided the funds for research.
"Only one-quarter Of the States in
the Union have signed on the dotted
line, admitting themselves unable to
support their own educational institu-
tions," the speaker said.

dowment for a medical school, has re-
fused the last million. Not a medical

WAR BIRDS
Didn't Fly Just For Their
Health

Washington. D. C. (ILNS)-Why
did more than 670 army war birds
stage their big show?
Just for fun? Just for practice?
Followers of international events
do not entertain any such ideas.
How many American citizens knew
the United States army had more than
600 airplanes?
Inquiry fails to reveal any partic-
ular knowledge of that sort among
civilians. Most Americans did not
know American air strength was so
great
How many citizens or subjects of
foreign nations knew the United
States had so many airplanes?
1t is regarded as probable that gov
ernments knew, but the people of
other countries did not know.
Here, then, was a demonstration!
1t is not to be overlooked that this
giant armada of the air swarmed over
Ohio, then swarmed over Chicago and
then flew across the great steel area
over the mountains to the coast-the
great area that would be aimed at by
any military enemy that could reach
it.
The speculation that is running in
quarters that like to watch such
things is this: Was this demonstra-
ton, not of defnace or aggressive
ness, but Of ability to keep others
out? There is very little notion that
it was mere maneuvering, or game
playing. 1t is perhaps worth noting
that foreign observers were given the
best possible opportunity to see this
armada in action. They were invited
and urged and they did not turn down
the invitations.
The great operation, incidentally,
came precisely in the midst of the
most outspoken European predictions
of war that we have heard in many
years.

TOM MOONEY
Pardon Campaign Units To
Be Formed in California

San Francisco.-Plans to organize
pardon campaign units in every Cali
fornfa community and bring khem
all together in state body have been
approved by Tom Mooney, serving a
life sentence in San Quentin on q
conviction he asserts was obtained by
fraud.
Representative of the Mooney de-
fense committee are already at work
in furtherance of the new plans in
both northern and southern territory
The committee has given the fol-
lowing statement as to the makeup,
tactics and purposes of the new or
ganization:
A pioneer or initial group Of five
will be formed in each community
The aim of the original five will be
to build up committee of at least
100, the enlarged group to arrange
public meetings, distribute literature
and raise funds to carry on the move
ment for a pardon.
1t will be the aim of the original
group of five to win the sympathy
and support of the leading men and
women of the community by personal
contact and revelation of the various
items of evidence tending to establish
Moopoy,c ;ppooopoo
Special efforts will be made to en-
list the support of clergymen and
clubwomen.
With town and county committees
well organized and established, a
state convention will be called wherein
reports will be made as to the prog
ress of the campaign throughout
California.
Among the field organizers now at
work in support of the new plan is
Rev. Robert Whitaker, who has been
active in the Mooney pardon move
ment for the past fifteen years.

COMMODITIES SHOW
BETTER RESISTANCE
Slight Improvement Noted in Re-
cent Price Declines, New
Review States.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 23.-The average
price Of commodities continues to de-
cline, 40 major materials having regis
tered II decreases last week, against
o advances and IA items unchanged
in price, according to Standard Stats
tics Co. of New York. Portions of that
company's current survey of commodity
prices follow:
while the urgent need of liquida-
ton appears largely to motivate COM
modify market movements, there is an
increasing number of instances in
which slight counter movements cur
rently are taking place. Thus, in IL
of the 40 commodities, moderate re-
coverieS from recent low points have
been experienced.
FURTHER analysis shows that only Ia
Of the 40 commodities have declined by
as much as 10 per cent during the past
month, and only IL others lave .egls-
tered a recession Of equal scope since
the first of the year. The important
consideration at this time, in our judy
ment, is the fact that, concurrently
with the new lows for non-ferrouS
metals. which have attracted wide
spread attention, q number Of items
are resisting stubbornly the general
downward trend. In these cases, pre-
vious declines have largely discounted
the adverse supply demand ratios, and
current values are sufficiently below
marginal costs of production to have
started already the process of shutdowns
or the involuntary liquidation OF the
weaker units.
Although we see as yet little eyi-
dence that the long-term decline OF
prices has reached absolute bottom, we
believe that this trend will be subject
to intermittent reversals and that the
next few months will witness increas-
ing instances Of counter-trend price
movements" ~.
