FORD MISERY
Did the big hearted Henry keep
his promise. When Ford closed
his mill here, he told the local
newspapers that his employees
will not be in need this winter.
After working one and two days
"a week for So a day for the last
two years, he tries to make the
people believe that they should
have saved enough money to pull
ther through this winter.
The fact is that the Ford men
have been going into the hole while
they were W orking part time
Now most of them are going fol-
poor aid and they have a hell Of
time getting it.
The Poor Commissioner believes
what Ford said in the local papers
about his men not being in need
this winter.
The fact is that we are all go
ing to be in need this winter i
we don't get together and fight fol
relief and work.

votes of the Communist and Lib

of either Frank Hazelbaker, Re-

II am a widow and depend

Three-Minute Journeys

One of the most liked towns
in South Africa is certainly Dur
ban, a town that, while essen
TALLY English, is one of the
most cosmopolitan cities in the
world. Durham, you see, is the
principal port of call for ships
en- route to India and the Far
East, and the trading ships
from China and Japan put in
on their way to Brazil and the
Argentine. All of which, Of
course, means constant life and
changing scenes.
There's heaps to do and see
in Durham, for it is the play
ground of South Africa. It's
great season is from May to
September to enjoy the delights
and excitement of Ocean Beach.
To many visitors from home
the scene is reminiscent Of a
smart American seashore re-
sort. Right through the town
out on either side along the
ocean sweeps the Ocean Beach,
with magnificent beach en-
closures and one Of the worlds
largest open-air bathing pools
for those who are chary Of the
surf. Right in Durham itself
one can stand outside the i'm
posing Law Courts and see the
Esplanade and bay. The whole

half would bring him bottles

Love may be an antique emo
ton in the opinion of the
sophisticates. But a world with
out love, would soon be world
without genius, art or beauty.
Feminine beauty is a matter
Of lines and color; but most Of
the masculine beauty we see
about us is founded on person
ality, the barber shop, the linen
collar and the safety-razor.
The perfect summer love-af-
fair is like a mild drink-just
something pleasant to help pass
the time, with very little kick
and no next-morning head
ache.
When a man reaches the
point where he can kiss a
woman with his eyes wide
open, and miss nothing that is
going on around him, his love

there are constant water galas
and water polo matches.
Right by the beach are ten
mis- courts and there is plenty
of golf. Out at GRANVILLE one
plays on a golf course that is
encircled by a race track. Like
all other South African towns,
there are race tracks.
Although there are plenty OF
autos in Durham, it is strange
how soon visitors copy the resi-
dents and get the trolley habit.
There is a grand trolley trip
that takes one on a circular
trip round the Berea, affording
a grand view of the ocean, bay
and town.
The trolleys go out to the
farthermost suburbs, beyond
which is open country with
grand scenery that seems far
removed from proximity with
any town. In the city itself,
especially in the lower level,
one makes use of the rickSha
and enjoys the pleasant jog-trot
of the ricksha boy with his ma
tive costume and headdreSs.

musical center of South Africa.

An Answer
Needed

The argument is that the
ruin Of Europe would be dis
astrous to US; and that it
would ruin Europe if these
IA nations were asked to re-
pay the eleven billion still
owing us, during the next
three generations. This con-
spiracy has powerful sup
port On this side the water
in high financial circles.
No one yet has answered
just one question: If one of
these nations gives so per
cent of its budget to war
purposes and one and a half
per cent to the debt, why
would a reduction in the war
budget of one and a half per
cent to pay an honest debt
ruin that nation?

in the sophistries.

The Debts Cannot
Be Wiped Out

"We were out for Eu-
rope said Macdonald in
the Commons.
There are too many pub
licists, bankers and propa-
gandists among Americans
who can echo the phrase.
1t is a proper phrase from
Macdonald; it is a vicious
phrase from Americans.
The issue presented is
very clear, despite the de-
liberate attempt of the
American propagandists of
Europe to deceive the masses
of the people as to what it
means to them. "Wipe out
the war debts and forget it,"
has an attractive sound. But
the war debts have been
wiped out by our unprece-
dented generosity; and the
debts remaining represent
the loans made after the
war.

Hoover's Letter
Republished as News"

"Can such things be?"
we asked ourself the other
day on reading on the first
page Of a New York paper,
interested in stopping Roose-
velt, an article sent out as
"news, containing a let
ter written by Mr.. Hoover
IA years ago, before we had
prohibition, saying that beer
is all right.
We looked at the date

had taken up a paper of
1928 when the same letter
was published in the same
paper?
But not was 1882!
That letter was part of the
conspiracy of double-dealing
on the prohibition questions
in 1928. 1t was carried
about in the vest pockets of
the double-dealers and dis
played to Republican liberals
in New York with the whis-
per-"Leave it to Hoover"
It was republished as
"news" on a front page this
week for the same purpose
of deception. But that trick
is too transparent even for
the groundlings.
Much water has passed
over the dam since that let

come; Mr.. Hoover has called

THE Democratic candi-
= dates this year have
brushed aside the flubdub-
berry and waived the cere-
monious notification meet
ings, thereby setting an
example that. may we'll be
followed in the future.
Roosevelt's flight to Chi
cago to make his acceptance
speech to the entire conven-
ton was a happy thought.
And now Garner proposes
that he be notified with no
greater expense than a Scent
stamp.
It would be absurd waste
Of time, energy and money
for a committee, represent
ing each State, to journey
to the Rio Grande to tell
the Speaker something he
thoroughly understands. Nor
is there anything remarkable
in the resort to a letter. We
had letters of notification
and acceptance before we
had notification meetings
and we got along very well.
Thus, with Mr.. Hoover
mulling over how to say it,
and how to evade it, until
August 10, a month and a
half after his nomination,
and with Mr.. Curtis patiently
waiting until Mr.. Hoover
can determine how best to
phrase it, Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Garner, with all this
meaningless ceremony be-
hind them, will be in the
midst Of their campaigns.

A Remarkable
Document

Four years ago this time
Mr.. Hoover was writing his
acceptance speech for 1928.
1t is not improbable that the
Democrats, unless they
swoon with graciousness, will
make liberal use of it this
year. 1t was, in truth, a re-
markable document. 1t dwelt
at much length on tele-
phones, radios, sanitary
plumbing, inventions of vari-
Gus sorts and implied that
these were the fruit of party
policies.
1t was in this speech that
we were told the wisdom
of the craftsmanship of Mr..
Harding s and Mr.. Coolidge's
reigme had put business on
the basis Of permanent pros
perity ; and that Mr.. Hoover
hope would be to carry on
to the "elimination of pow
erty."
Much was said, too, about
public works for which the
writer has no stomach now.
Some Democratic wag is
apt to put the two speeches
in parallel columns with
out comment, and give them
the same circulation now
being given the Hoover lucky
penny of 1928. These coins,
put out by the Republican
national committee and bear
ing the magic words that had
effect on voters-"Good for
Four More Years of Pros

given out by the Democrats.

are being overdosed with de-
ception regarding the pur-
pose of the Lausanne repa-

To 40 Tonight!
Brr-ware!

Autumn made it's first real
bow today, and signs of winter
appeared in some parts Of Mary
land.
One of the heaviest rainfalls of
the year was recorded today,
bringing with it an end to what
was considered a heat wave for
this time of the year.
With the forecaster predicting
a drop to 40 degrees tonight,
heavy snow" was reported this
morning in Frostburg, Md. Frost
burg being 125 miles from here,
there seems little danger of a
snowfall in Washington, :the
Weather Bureau said.
The extreme cold will continue
through tomorrow. with posi-
bility of little warmer weather
for Saturday and Sunday. There
will be no real warm weather,
however.

registering a high of 76, Private
Morris H. Clark, %, a fireman
of New IA Engine Company,
was treated at his home in the
