LISTEN, WORLD!

Cling to the glory of it all

But, instead, we have chosen
to Sleep We have dug our
tomb out of set habit, set
thought. We have chosen our
epitaph, "THE OLD WAYS
ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR
ME-" And we've crawled away
into darkness.
Then, presently, comes Life
and tries to rout us out.

things have changed; that
there's a new world all round
you? Shake a leg. You're
needed! Snap out Of 1t! COME
FORTH"
So comes 1usty Life, shout
ing at the door of our tomb
offering us resurrection. And
what do we do? Do we say
THANK you, Life! I'm so
grateful because you walked me.
I'll be right out!"
Do we not say that? Yes,
we do NOT! Instead, nine times
out of ten, we snap-
"F'hevinsake, what's that aw-
full noise? Can't someone send
that Dreadful Creature away?
What's the world coming to if
a person can't live quiet, re-
spectacle life without these
agitators breaking in! Thank
goodness, a few Of us are left
who have some respect for de-
cency and order. Now go away!
Go away at once, I tell you, or
I'll phone for the police!"

The Human Side of the News
Lotteries Flourish-Invention Spree
.BH EdWin C.. Hill.

Hard times and the near
bankruptcy of nations have
changed human points of view
about many things once re-
garded as bad. In the United
States hard times brought about
the end Of prohibition. In
France hard times revive the
national lottery.
Within half an hour after the
first tickets in the French ma
tional lottery were put on sale,
100000 tickets were sold for
$12,000,0O0. The grand prize is
a little more than 100000.
There are is other major prizes
of 1000 each.
Legal lotteries came to an end
in this country in 1890 when
Congress chased the Louisiana
lottery out of New orleans and
sent it into exile down in Hon.
duras, where it still thrives on
American money. In the old
days Americans weren't so set
against lotteries. In June OF the
year 1853 the Rev. Samuel Sea-
bury, MISUNDERSTANDING
father of the eminent eX-judge
who drove Jimmy Walker out OF
office and clawed the tough
hide of the Tammany tiger,
made this entry in his diary:
"The ticket Number 1886, By
the blessing of God, in the
Liohthouse and Public Lottery
of New York, dreU in my tGOor
500 pounds, of Which I received
425 pounds, for 1Dhich I noW
record to my posterity my
thanks and praise to Almighty
God, the giUer of all good gifts.
Amen"
Many great public buildings
and monuments, like the Brit
ish Museum, owe their existence
to lotteries. The French, al
ways logical, are capitalizing a
known trait of human nature.

Protect the Public

There is pending before the
Congress a bill introduced in
the House last March by Rep.
resentative Rayburn of Texas,
chairman of the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, to regulate the trans
portation of passengers and
property in interstate and for
eign commerce by motor car
riers operating on the public
highway.
Under the Rayburn bill, the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion would be the regulatory
body. 1t would be given power
to supervise and regulate COM
mon carriers of passengers by
motor vehicles and to establish
reasonable requirements with
respect to service, transporta-
tion of baggage, records, and re-
ports. 1t would limit to 8 hours
at any one time the hours of
service of any operator of any
motor vehicle.
Certificates of public conven-
ience and necessity would be re-
quired before an operator could
engage in interstate commerce.
1t would not be issued until a
carrier complies with rules and
regulations covering the filing
of surety bonds or policies of
insurance for the protection of
the public.
The Rayburn bill is opposed
by the forces Of special privilege
because it is designed to pro-
tect the public interest by max
ing travel on the highways safe
for the average American. Ana
travel for the average American
on the highways will continue to
be a costly hazard until the Ray.
burn bill or some similar meas
ure is written into the Federal
Statutes and enforced by the
Federal Government with the
support of State authorities.

Jesus cried Elsie Robinson
with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth" He that was dead
came forth, bound hand and
foot with grave clothes; and
his face was bound about with
a napkin. Jesus saith unto
them, Loose him, and let him
go'."
That was all. But how did
Lazarus feel, routed out of his
comfortable tomb? Well, if
Lazarus was like most of the
Heavy Sleepers who are clog
ging the traffic in the year 1888,
he was probably Plenty Peeved!
FOR THE LAST THING
MOST OF US WANT IS TO BE
SHOOED OUT OF OUR TOMBS
AND STRIPPED OF OUR
GRAVE CLOTHES!
Four days dead? Lazarus was
just an amateur. Many of us
have been four or forty years
dead-yet never guessed it!
AS truly dead as ever was poor
LaZarauS. Our bodies move
around; yet. Our hands per-
form their accustomed duties.
Our lips go through their &C.
customed patter. But our minds
sleep, unmoving, in their tombs.
Such narrow tombs Such
tight, thick walls! Never was
granite so hard or steel so cold.
For we have spent years build
ing these graves for ourselves
years wrapping these winding
sheets about us. Out of our
Stubbornness and stupidity, our
cowardice and laziness we have
hewed these walls. Out of our
prejudice, intolerance and con-
ceit we have woven these wind
ing-Sheets. Now we lie still
sealed away
Outside our tomb the world
moves swiftly on its way. Old
systems crumble; old wiSdoms
pass away. With an uproar and
a flaming wonder the new chal-
lenges appear; the new oppor-
tunitieS and adventures.
AND WE MIGHT BE OUT
THERE, IN THE THICK OF IT
ALL!

Bus Owners oppose

The railroads opposed Fed
eral regulation and for years
prevented it by advocating
State regulation. Their owners
preferred State regulation be-
cause they found it easier to de-
feat effective regulation at the
48 capitals than to defeat effec-
tive regulation in the Federal
city by the Congress.
For the same reason the
owners of motor buses and
motor trucks have opposed Fed
eral regulation because expert
ence convinced them that they
could more easily defeat such
regulation by the States. This
is what has happened at Harris
burg. This is what will happen
at Salt Lake City. This is
what will happen throughout
the country, and men, women
and children will pay the cost
of this perilous chaos on the
highways until Congress faces
the facts and follows where
they lead.
Instead of leading the way
for Federal regulation of motor
bus and motor truck transporta-
ton, the United States Cham
ber of Commerce is opposing
this solution of the problem.
It's policy is influenced by the
owners of motor buses and
motor trucks.
But the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which has made
The Washington times., 1933-10-25

an exhaustive study of the mat
ter, has urged for more than
a year the enactment of Fed
eral legislation to regulate all
motor vehicles operating on
public highways and engaged
in interstate commerce.
This recommendation was re-
inforced by the National Trans
portation Committee, of which
the late President Coolidge was
chairman. It recommended
that:
"AutomotiUe ira nsporfation
should be under such reRulo-
tions as is necessary for public
protection. 1t should bear its
fair burden of tar but only
on a basis of compensation for
public expenditure on its be-
half, plus its share of the gem
eral tax load. Neither tax nor
regulation should be applied
for any purpose of handicap
ping the march of progress for
the benefit of the railroads."

ONCE OVERS

Early training, good environ
ment, loyalty to your family
name has undoubtedly had
much to do with keeping you
in the right path.
Pride then, has been the
strong force directing your life
course.
But knowing all this, it does
not make you any more
lenient toward those who have
made a false step.
You don't consider the handi-
caps of the one who falls.
While you were watched and
held back, the one you de-
nounce may have had just the
opposite training and with his
or her environment you might
not have done as well.

Chance Plays Part

pector'S, as K. BironStad,
manager of the Associated In
ventors of America, explains
it, His statistics show that only
one out of 100 sells an in
vention and makes anything at
all out of it.
The little things are what
counts, the big, brilliant ideas
not clicking so we'll. Toys,
games, new contraptions for
amusement parks and things
for the kitchen pay the divi-
dends regularly and quickly. It
is only in the last decade or
so that we have seen fortunes
made by the young men who
turned out the autographing

hardship before he proved to
the doubling world that words
could be sent in signals over
the wires.

That Yankee strain which

inventive of peoples appears to
be working overtime nowadays,
and in strange and devious ways.
While a trainload of inventors
has journeyed from New York
to Chicago's world fair, the
mills of the Patent Office in
Washington continue to grind

Be Slow to Criticize


How often you criticize a per-
son for doing what you have
not the courage to do.
Often you denounce someone
for some act that you, yourself,
have contemplated doing for
years.
Is it because of any better
principles on your part that
you have refrained from becom-
ing a violator of the law, for
which you now demand the
punishment of another person?
You know that you have been
tempted to do things from
which you were deferred, not so
much from principle, but for
fear of the consequences if it
should become known.
This punishment might be
Of a physical q . mental
nature.

Of course, there are millions
of people to whom this close
comradeship and a shared home
life are the sweetest things in
all the world. But there are
more and more career people
every day who can't bear hav-
ing a stop-watch put on their
meal hours or a code on their
comings and goings, and who
get the jitters at having any
other human soul puttering
around them during every free
minute.
Why can't two people have
the sort of marriage which
APPEALS to them, whether it's
a domestic, seven-days-aweek
marriage or a part-time mar
riage-a closeup or a long
shot?
The answer is that THEY
CAN! And nobody can stop
them! Marriage has code
but it is no longer standardized.

codes and forms Of marriage

That's why this question Of
whether career-people should
try to live in the same house
together has been so widely dis
cusSed Of late.
Lots of men and women were
never born to live with anybody
on this earth! They are often
very attractive men and women,
and quite capable of beautiful,
lifelong love; but it would be al
most inhumane to condemn any,
normal human being to share
the evening moods and the morn
ing brainstorms with these peo-
pie!
Your kind of marriage will
soon be entirely a matter OF
choice. In fact, it already is
among the sophisticates. Just
because a woman loves a man
is no reason why she should be
condemned to hang up his trou-
sers, count his laundry and keep
his coffee hot, unless she nap
pens to be the kind of woman
who LOVES to do those things.
Lots of women do!
And just because a man loves
a woman is no reason why he
should have to go over the house
hold bills every week, let her see
what's in his letters, and rush
