An Invaluable Lesson


Towering more than feet tall,
clad in rough trousers and leather
packet, General Glassford stood be-
fore an open fireplace in his home
and summed up his experiences and
beliefs.
Whether we agree with the fed
eral governments action or not" he
said, "the eviction of the bonus
army was an invaluable lesson to
the American people.
ut stripped the mantle from the
federal administration, and showed
the administration undeniably out
of sympathy with the interests and
welfare of the common man.
ut made the people conscious Of
that situation, and showed them
the way to use the ballot against it.
Welded U. S. Veterans
at welded the country's veterans
into well-organized group, making
it possible for them to unite for the
welfare of the entire nation, ire
Spective of possible preferential de-
mands for veterans legislation.
incidentally, I just have returned
from trip around the country, dur
ing which I talked to leaders of
many veterans organizations. All
of these groups absolutely are OPP
posed to any sort of march on
Washington this winter.
so far as the so-called hunger
marchers, and other such organiza-
lions are concerned, there is alb
solutely nothing they can gain by
coming here.
Not Interested in Job
From a purely personal stand
point, I can see no objection to
groups petitioning congress, pro-
vided they are financially capable
of taking care of themselves. Any
group that is not self-supporting
and can not take care of itself is
simply laying itself open to months
of misery and suffering"
Since Glassford'S resignation, ru-
NOR has connected him with all
sorts of jobs in any number of
cities. He commented on those ru-
morS thus:
IT am not interested in any job,
political or otherwise, unless it
offers chance for real constructive
service, particularly in ameliorating
the present conditions of poverty
and distress. Neither money nor
anything else would be a factor in
case I should take such a job"

There may be reason for this
apathy on the part of the people,
and I think that one of the chief
causes is lack of proper leadership,
the former district attorney and
state chairman declared.

American people have had no in

Like all engineers, he fails to take
account of the human factor.

In the second place, by keeping
watch of local indications, and also,
perhaps, by taking sly look at the
official weather map, the rainmaker
often can time his operations so
that they will coincide with changes
in atmospheric conditions upon
which the occurrence of rain de-
pends.
Some years ago the owner of a
big California farm offered to pay
$4,000 for two inches of rain in
three days, provide the rainmaker
would put up 5000 to be forfeited
in case of failure.
The offer was declined, though
the conditions at the time were not
unfavorable for rain, and showers
to the extent of four inches actu-
ally fell within the next forty-eight
hours.
