Farm Income
2
New York Tines

The department of agriculture esti-
mates that American farmers will
receive in 1882 gross income of
IS ,240, 900, 900. This compares with
$l1 $50, 100000 so recently as 1929 In
three years farm income has fallen
Sc per cent. No further evidence is
needed to indicate the serious ques-
tions confronting American agricul-
ture, or to suggest the difficulties in
the way Of industrial recovery when
the purchasing power of one-fourth
Of the country's population has been
reduced by nearly seven billion dol
lars.
Two measures have been employ
ed since 1929 in an attempt to check
the swift decline. AS nearly as it
can be done by a high protective
tariff, the farmer has been given
virtual monopoly of the domestic
market. simultaneously, an attempt
has been made by the federal gov
eminent to peg" the prices of farm
products. This effort has been dis
continued recently, but not before
several hundred million dollars was
spent to take surplus wheat and cot
ton off the market. AS the depart
ment Of agriculture's figures show,
neither this "stabilization" program
nor the protection afforded by the
Hawley-Smoot tariff has averted
catastrophe decline in profits. This
is because prices of most farm staples
are established in world markets and
world stocks have been steadily ac-
cumulating. A report published re-
Gently by the Economic Intelligence
Service of the League of Nations in
dicates that between 1925 and 1891
stocks of cotton increased by 90 per
cent and those of wheat by ia per
cent. In the face of enormous sur
pluses in world markets the fed
eral farm board attempted to lift
prices by absorbing comparatively
small domestic surplus, and Repub-
lican statesmen continued hopefully
to insist that high protective tariff
Is "the very basis Of safety for the
American farmer.
Experience suggests that a more
promising solution of the problem
would be provided by reversing the
method of approach. American az.
riculture needs foreign outlets for its
surplus, in countries which are not
driven by force of circumstances
either to curtail their imports from
us In order to avoid purchasing ex-
change ct q heavy cost, or to stimu-
late domestic production of farm
products by means of subsidies and
bounties In order to Nberate them
selves from dependence on our out
put. To obtain such outlets requires
reconsideration of American policy
regarding both tariffs and intergov-
ernmental debts.

THE DE MILES
New York, Dec. 7.-For amusing
close-ups on the off-stage life Of the
Cecil De Miles, you have to make the
acquaintance of Mrs. Cecil De Mile.
She has hair as white as the be-
wigged ballerinas of the minuets; she
suggests bit of the aristocrat, bit
of the theater and twinkling sense
of humor. She has carved pleasant,
whimsical lines at the corners Of the
eyes; an upper lip has become accus-
toned to drawing itself up into hu-
morous curve at the left side. She
appears to have a lot of fun.
Mrs. De Mile is in New York with
her husband, whose bald spot now is
sun tanned to leather brown. They
have come to attend the opening of
De Miles most spectacular picture,

SOusa.
CNew York World -Telegram0


 When men die they become known. That is to say little and also big things about them about their boyhood, their young manhood, undreamed of by most people, conjured up out of the minds of friends out of the yellowed clippings in the morgues of newspaper offices. A new biography is born.
 The "obits" which yesterday told of the sudden death fo John Philip Sousa, greatest of band leaders revealed to the younger generation and to much of the older ones panorama of anecdote and fact which make Sousa stand out as far more human and even greater than ever he appeared in all his glory while leading his band
 He the of a Spaniard who was proud member of the United States Marine Band, and Sousa himself after try a bakers helper, was apprenticed to the band and became its leader and wrote a hundred marches, ten operas, songs, suites, delicate fantasies, along with such stirring pieces his imperishable Stars and Stripes For ever" which has set the cadence for armies march ing to war and netted its author $300000 in royalties.
 SouSa wrote four novels. He was champion trapshooter
 He was horseman. He boxed He was jovial and witty.
 His genius of a rio of American musical composers-M Victor Herbert, Sousa-s too easily overlooked in the impression of the name of "Sousa" upon bands and marching cadences. The engaging and unknown forgotten facts set for in his obituaries prove once more how human being is born when great man dies.

The Eternal Bandmaster.
(New York Herald Tribuneo

Sousa's Band played when the Chicago Worlds Fair opened in 1893; with Geronimo it featured the Pan-Amercan Exposition at Buffalo in 1901; the boys marched off with Sousa's music in their ears in 1898 and in 1918; and probably, if fate brings us the tragedy of another war, the marching feet will beat time to Sousa's strains again Sousa and his music a part of American history.
 There may have been greater composers in the last half century; surely there has been none with a universal appeal For it is not only in America that the words march" and "Sousa" are synonymous; many European heel has struck the pavement bravey, all unaware that the music was "The Stars and Stripes Forever"
 His end was Sausa would have wished it. AS a lad he did not appreciate his fathers ambition to have musician in the family John Philip Sousa at first insisted that he preferred to be baker But musician, he all musician. He lived with and for his band for two-thirds of century; and it gloriousy fitting that he should have led Ia band in rehearsal a few hours before heart lattack laid him low. He seventy-Seven, and still the March King of America.

Vinson's Naval Program.
Cincinnati Enauirer0


 The most seriously considered naval building pro- gram just is that of Carl Vinson Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee of the House of Rep lresentatives. The Vnson plan calls for expenditure of some $600,00O,000 ten-year period which is somewhere between the billiondollar treaty navy lof the jingoistS and the bare skeleton program of the more extreme dsarmers
 As moderate program which insures adequate naval protection without the outrageous expenditure for treaty navy, the Vinson scheme meets the views of most persons But the question of under taking that construction program is something very different
 There two very good reasons for delaying this bill beyond the present session of Congress One is the responsibility of the United States to assume leadership in the Disarmament Conference next month. Clearly we cannot lay out elabor- ate program for naval building and expect to be taken seriously at Geneva in our plea for lower armaments
 The second is the imperative need for economy in Federal expenditures The President has called 1 for important reduction of expenses in the Navy Department as in other Departments Thus far economics in the navy have been neglibe. To ap- proprate even the amount called for in the vinsor program is to set spending precedent in Federal Appropriation, precisely at time when tax in- creaSes peculiarly unfortunate
 Maintenance of the navy in personnel and equip ment is important responsibility of Government in depression in prosperity. But expansion o1 the navy is another question, and it can be de llayed until conditions more advantageous, ol until the outcome of the Disarmament Conference lis known.

Chapter 6 NOBODY LOVES US

It had been some ones birthday there had been wild speeding from one dancing place to another.
 And leaving the Rainbow Gar dens, where they had gone last as a proper windup of their fling Marge had asked Gar to drive her car home. Its doing the queerest things, Gar. You're more familiar with it than Red" Marge always insisted upon using her own car and because it was a French model, of dashing lines, and amazing speed, her escorts invariably were quite willing to accede to her whim
 Tonight, without a moments hes itation, Gar had sprung into the drivers seat, thrown the clutch in- to gear with a masterful air and shot off into the deserted road leaving Kitty behind with Red Harding.
 Nobody loves us," Red had grumbled, putting his arm through Kitty's.
 She'd hated being left alone with Red; she'd been afraid of his driv- ing Cars assertion, without a word of regret, had hurt her to the quick. She had thought that when they were home he would tell her he was sorry but instead he was charging her with coldness to his friends.
 She dared not trust herself to answer. If she did she might tel him that she was bored to death oi his friends, that tonight she didn't think she liked any of them, Marge or Diana or Isabel Peters, Buck SewaI, Tubby-even tupid, good natured Hubby, Red, least of all Red was Cars best friend, Gar was always quoting his opinions, look ing to him to suggest new places to go, new amusements; the others showed him this same deference yet Kitty had not been able to like him.
 Nice-oh, yes, they had been nice enough to her, these friends of his but that was the limit of their at tention; without Gar they wouldn't know she was aroundl
 She had been more quiet than usual tonight-somehow. tonight she had not been able even to pre- tend any gaiety. She'd felt out ot the picture, as Gar would put it uncomfortable, in her rust-colored dress, like a sparrow among bright plunged birds. Tonight she'c felt critical of Cars friends; could mt they sometimes have good times in their homes?
 Tonight she'd felt even sharply critical of Gar. He shouldn't spend so much money-worse, he should not borrow from Red. He had bor- rowed quite openly, at the start oi their evening. Kitty had seen Rec add two figures to little column on the page or memOrandun book.
 You don't have to put on suct an almighty righteous air when yor turn down drink, either, Kit, Gar pursued. They're all laughing at you. They think you're a prig That small-town stuff doesn't go ir my crowd"
 Hurt on hurt. She hadn't mean to look almighty righteous. Shs wasn't prig. But she wouldn, quarrel and it would mean a quar. rel if she spoke now. But she could not keep back hel tears. They came in a flood. Sh, despised herself for her weaknes even when Cars arms went re morsefully around her. ''Oh, come now, Kit--I was onl, !. telling you for your own good"

touching the Mother?" he asked, a little ill-humoredly.
 She pushed him gently into his chair and drew his tray up close to him. Drink your coffee, Gar, while talk. I've been thinking-I took a walk and sat in the park-Gar, we're just drifting; it's been fun, but it isn't what we wanted to do, what we talked of, at Panther Mountain. Gar, we nearly quar- reled last night. I'm sorry for my part-I mean that hadn't pleased you, but Gar-aren't we both just a little tired of playing?"
 Gar flares in unexpected angry answer, tomorrow.
