Autos and Employment

Just how basic the automobile industry has become
in this country is shown by recent statistics in regard
to the number of persons employed.
In the year $780, there were 4,151,OOO men and
women directly engaged in some sort of work in
nection with the manufacture, sale operation of
automobiles In addition there were 100000 who
employed indirectly in the industry.
AS evidence of the local interest in the industry,
General Motors reports the employment of GIG per-
sons in this and two adjoining counties, with their
families very stable city by themselves.
This is one of the reasons why such shows are
now in progress at the Playground are in reality,
public occasions. What happens to the motor in
dustry will have real effect all other business.

." A T last said to myself, "he is
l. n going to lash out at corruption
and inefficiency in our political
community. He has taken to heart
the disclosures which have been
made about Tammany and tin
boxes. He is going to deliver a
hammer blow for common hon
esty among Office holders"
But then I came to the end of
the sentence. The Governor was
not aroused to fighting pitch by any
doings of the Tiger. His blazing
wrath was directed against John
Haynes Holmes and Stephen Wise
because they had the temerity to
attack Tammany and two of the
men whom it put in office.
Technically, there was much to
be said for the Governors position.
From The beginning of recorded his
tory there has been a great deal to
be said for all Governors who
washed their hands before the null
titude. And again, mean tech
nically."
Sheriff Farley told strange
story in accounting for his bank
deposits, and Franklin Roosevelt
removed him from office. But, in
all justice to the Governor, it must

! be admitted that the operation was
performed under the anesthetic of a
kindly courtesy.
There was no straight from the
shoulder" business then. The mat
ter was treated less as sin than a
misfortune. The poor old sheriff
had happened to play the wrong
ball or pick up the wrong tin box
and so subjected himself technically
to disqualification.
1t was held that an elected official
loves positive public duty to the
community to give reasonable or
credible explanation of the sources
of the deposits.
Without wishing to hurt the feel
ings of Sheriff Farley in any way,
can not refrain from expressing
the opinion that Sheriff McQuade
eXcelS him in construction, style and
the creation of suspense. His like
scarcely has been seen since the
death of the Brothers Grimm.
AS I remember, there were thirty
three other McQuades involved in
the narrative. In some of the later
novels of Wasserman I have become
little confused on account of the
excessive number of characters, but
the motivation of every McQuade
was crystal clear from beginning to
end.
1t was tied together by single
slogan, which beat almost like the
roar of the sea in a play by Eugene
O'Neill- "McQuades must live"

Chinese Burial Caves Yield
Rare Collection of Images
of Human Beings.
CHINESE tombs dating back to
~ the beginning of the Christian
era are being explored by DR.. David
G. Graham, a collaboration of the
Smith sonian Institution.
The United States national
museum, which is operated by the
Smithsonian Institution, just has
received a large collection Of arti-
facts gathered by DR.. Graham from
these tombS.
The tombs. chiseled out of solid
sandstone, are found by the thou
sands scattered through Szechwan
province in western China and
along the Tibetan border.
The Chinese have held to the be-
lief that these sandstone caverns
had been the dwelling place of
aborigines who occupied the country
before the coming of the Chinese.
DR.. Graham, however, could find
no evidence for this belief, and has
discovered instead that the caverns
were tombS dating back to the oe-
ginning Of the Christian era.
The caves usually are found in
steep places and vary in depth from
a few feet to as much as $50 feet.
They are about feet wide and s
feet high. DR.. Graham reports that
chisel marks are clearly visible in
the rocks.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-For years the
politicians and mouthpieces of our
money-bag rulers have been telling

country of liberty, equality and

liberty and equality. Justice" in

professors that it has become a
nlockery to the people.
What, for instance, has "justice"

championing the idea of social JUS

There is an internal regulating
mechanism that adjusts the tenn

velopment of perspiration and
evaporation of the perspiration from
the surface, and heating the body
through muscular action.
When there is too much heat lost
from the surface of the body, chill

to prevent loss of heat.

Figure of Clown

"OF special interest" Graham
~ reports, ARE the images OF
human beings. Some of these may
show the extraordinary persistence
Of custom over thousands of years.
"One figure. for example. appears
to be that of clown or comedian.
1t suggests that the cave builders
had reached a cultural stage where
they were devotees of the theater.-

lis half closed. while the other is
wide open. The face is contorted,
the mouth is drawn out of shape
and the tongue protrudes.
"A bit of plaster adheres above
the right eye, but there is nothing
to indicate that the entire face was
whitened.
On the Chinese stage today it is
customary for clowns to whiten
themselves around the eyes. A sec
ond possible stage figure is a
strange human being having large
tusks and a long tongue hanging
down his chest.
Inc ChlneSe say this figure still
persists in local theatricals and has
been known on the stage for hun
dreds If not thousands of years.
We may assume that the people
who constructed these caves ad-
mired beautiful women, for the
artitactS include many fragments
Of female f1gurines.
A number of heads in our COL
lection show undeniable beauty and
unquestioned skill on the part of
the artist. Some have jewels on
their hats.

Franklin Roosevelt went into a

I am perfectly frank in saying that
If I had been a resident of Kings

Nor was Franklin Roosevelt con-

and trained four million men, how
we threw half of them into Europe,
how We built environments and
ships, how we unified the thought

1t was because we had a definite
task to think about and perform, a
challenge to meet, a problem to
solve.
We don't need war to get that
sort of thing. There are challenges
