taining themselves. During the past three years, as member of the field staff of the National Rec reation association, he has shown both large and small communities in thirty-two states that good times need not cost anything ex- cept ingenuity. Recently in forty two institutes held on the west coast, he trained more than twelve thousand different leaders in the art of game direction.
 More important than the subject matter of the institute for the To- cal leaders who will attend. it is stated, will be the instruction in the methods of putting across a game in the most effective manner. How to adapt an old game or even to invent new game to suit the need of a particular occasion; how to hold the interest of the group by changing activities at the right time: also the psychology. and the ory back of game leadership, will be among the topics considered. Many of MT Murray's games and activities have never been pub lished. but all have been tested at gatherings of many sorts.
 The program for the institute is being arranged in advance with the Waterbury Girls club and community clubs so that it will include the material local groups most wish to have presented. MT Murray will be glad to consult with individuals on the special problems of recreation for their groups.
 To-day as never before is the time to help people participate in recreation activities" Mir Murray points out. Now that there is less money for expensive amusements, many are turning back to home made fun, which they find after all gives more satisfaction than mcchanized pleasures. Shorter working hours and more leisure for all are approaching rapidly. So there will be an increasing need for leaders of recreation"

one expects that beer can GUST the
desire for stronger beverages. If
that were so then there would be
no need Of prohibition repeal.
But most people admit the coun-
try would be better off if beer and
wine supplanted a good sized per-
centage of hard liquor. 1t may be
that they will not, yet the expert
ment is worth pushing to the
limit.
The main idea is to give beer a
fair trial.
But the responsibility of that
part of the public which ardently
desires the repeal OF prohibition
is clear. We should see to it that
none of the old time evils return
during this period of preparation
for prohibition repeal.

TONSILS OR NO TONSILS
To The Editor

To The Editor:
I observed in the paper "a letter
which read: "The Lord put these
torsils there for a purpose. and
think it inhuman to allow this cut
ting out, unless threatened by seri-
Gus complications. Don't let your
helpless children be butchered at
the whim of a medical man is my
ardent appeal for the helpless ones
to their parents Or guardians"
l wonder if this was really writ
ten seriously. l can hardly believe
it. Does the author really believe
that the prevention Of throat trou-
bic is a slight matter? I know of
case upon case where children had
gained weight and health due to
the removal of their tonsils. Per-
haps that writer would claim that
God gave us an appendix for some
purpose and hat therefore they
should be allowed to remain.
Such persons and their beliefs
belong to the antediluvian age, no
less. W. E. K.

FARM DEBT

The farm mortgage debt in the
United States rose from ; billion.
and $40 millions in 1910 to 9 bill
lions and 46S millions in 1928. 1t
has been reduced to about s bill
lions and 500 millions at present,
the reduction being represented
mainly by foreclosures and forced
sales. These are the figures COM
piled by the Department of Agri-
culture and submitted to Congress
which now has under passage legis-
lation designed to relieve the pres
sure of debt.
This mortgage debt rests on
forty per cent of the farms, leav-
ing sixty per cent free. Tenant
operated farms are more generally
and heavily mortgaged than own
er-operated ones.
individuals hold about 50 per
cent of the mortgages, insurance
companies p per cent. Federal
and joint-stock land banks 10 per
cent, commercial banks IL per
cent, mortgage companies 10 per
cent and other agencies and firms
Y per cent.
The interest charge in 1882 a.
mounted to about a half billion,
having dropped somewhat from
its high peak, but interest did not
drop as far as the volume of debt
was reduced as renewals have been
at higher rates. The annual in
terest charge of all sorts of farmer
Indebtedness is estimated at be-
tween 800 and 900 billions at pre-
sent.
1n~l929 property taxes ON all
farms reached about TT millions,
of which 265 millions was on
mortgaged farms. Since 1929
farm property taxes have dropped
20 per cent the nation over. It
may be anticipated that legislation
passed in the states during the
past few months will add very
materially to the decrease of the
farm tax load.
The national legislation now
pending, which was drafted at the
behest of President Roosevelt, aims
at scaling down the total of the
mortgage debts, reducing interest
and spreading out payments so that
a larger per cent of the farm own
ers will have hope of paying out.

PUTTING CITY MEN OUT
DOORS

The great value of President
Roosevelt's plan for putting a
quarter of a million young men at
work in outdoor labor, of a kind
which is somewhat vaguely refer
red to as forestry seems to us
to be that it will probably save
most Of these men from becoming
buns.
As we understand the plan only
those between 18 and Is years old
and having some dependent rela-
tives were accepted at first. They
applied at an Army recruiting sta
ton, armed with a letter. from
some recognized local relief wei
fare association, testifying to their
worthimess as objects of relief
They were then put through :
physical examination at the re-
cruiting station.
Those who passed these prelimi
nary tests were required to enlis
for six months, signing an agree
ment to perform whatever dutie
they might be assigned to and no
to destroy any Government pro
perty. They then went at once OF
the payroll, at the rate of one col
lar a day with food, clothing an,
shelter included. Each recruit,
however, was required to sign a
assignment of part of his pay, ap
|proximately three-quarters of it, t

or brother, to be paid direct to the

Tor brother, to be paid direct to the
beneficiary.
The recruits of this Army of
Peace were then sent to the nearest
military post for a period of "con-
lditioning," which includes regular
exercise and drill, instruction in
taking care of their bodies while
living in the open, amenability to
discipline and the building up of
their physical stamina. This con-
ditioning was expected to take
from four to six weeks. When
completed, the men are sent in
squads to the places where tn )
are to labor on public works.
Precisely where this work will
be done and what it will consist Of
is not fully explained as yet. Pre-
sumably it will be in the various
National Forests, though there is
talk of the Government buying a
million acres or so of unreclainlcd
land and putting theee men to
work on that.
1t seems to us that the actual
work accomplished is of less i'm
portance than the building up of
the men who do it, getting them
into the habit of hard work, enabl-
ing them to contribute something,
however slight, to the support of
others, and taking them off the
city streets into the wholesome
outdoors.
We shall watch this experiment.

ON TRIAL

Now that legal beer is here it
will be we'll to keep in mind that
the larger problem of the repeal Of
prohibition remains to be dealt
with. The coming year is really a
testing time.
If the beer regime is a sane and
sensible one, if the business is car
ried on in an orderly, respectable
manner and if politics is rigidly
excluded, then an additional argu-
ment for the repeal of prohibition
will be furnished.
But, if beer licenses are used a
a screen for the sale of hard liquor
if gangsters are not banished from
the business and if grating poll
ticians trade in licenses, then tn
drys in doubtful States may hav
a greater measure of success.
1t is no secret that many sin
cere leaders of the wet cause, not
ably Senator Walsh, view the out
look with some trepidation. The
fear that laxity on the part o
public officials may lead to an ex
tension of the speakeasy activities
There is no question that evasio
of the law in regard to hard liquo
is made much easier.
The idea of beer legislation
that beer of a mild alcoholic cor
tent should go far toward satisfy
ing the craving for alcohol. N

A FASHION NOTE FROM THE
BIBLE

BIBLE
We read a report in a New Yorl
paper of a convention of beauty
shop people a few weeks ago. Ac-
cording to this report the most in
teresting things in the exhibits were
removable lips, demountable eye.
lashes, devices to change the shape
of the nose, apparatus to hold the
ears back, artificial eye-sparkle anc
little pictures for fngernail decora-
ton.
We began to wonder how women
could be so foolish as to think that
such artifcialities make them at
tractive to men. But before we had
got to the point of raising an out
cry against this degenerate modern
age we happened to think that we
had read something of the sort be-
fore.
We looked it up and found it,
written more than two thousand
years ago by a prophet named Isaiah.
> THE daughters of Zion are
naughty, and walk with stretched
forth necks and wanton eyes, walk
ing and mincing as they go and
making a thinking with their feet
-. In that day the Lord will
take away the bravery of their tinL
ling ornaments about their feet, and
their cauls, and their round tires
like the moon, the chains and the
bracelets and the muflers, the bon
nets and the ornaments of the legs,
and the headbands, and the tablets,
and the earrings, the ring and nose
jewels, the changeable suits of ap-
parel, and the nantes, and the
wimples, and the crisping pins, the
glasses and the fine linen, and the
hoods and the wells"
Perhaps it wouldn't be any use
for us to try to talk the girls out
of their hnery. Apparently Isaiah
threats didn't change feminine ma
ture, which seems to be about the
same now as it was in Old Tesla
ment days. But we have an idea
that the girls of Isaiah's time,. like
those of today, didn't put ON their
dew-dads so much to make them
selves interesting to men to make
other women envious. That, how
ever, is a mere mans point of view.

KANT PARNEK


MA lIONALlSM . . a k1Ck-back
A lot of the worlds present
troubles are due to an excess OF
Nationalistic pride. Every nation
is trying to be self-contained, and
then grouching because other ma
tons won't trade with it!
Every dollar we-spend for for
eign goods helps some other nation
to buy our goods. I believe in A
merica first, but l do not believe
in the stupid doctrine which
would prohibit me from buying
something l wanted because it was
made abroad.
Nearly a hundred years ago
there was an agitation in this
country similar to the Buy A
merican" movement of today. The
party which advocates non-inter-
course with foreign countries got
the nickname of "Know-Noth-
ings." Presently we will wake up
again to the truth that every OBJ
stacle to international trade hurts
everybody concerned.
JEWS. . in Germany
Jewish people all over the world
are greatly disturbed over the poll
cy of the new "Nazi" government
of Germany, under the practical
dictatorship of Chancellor Hitler,
in boycorting Jewish merchants,
doctors, teachers and others.
l talked the other day with an
intelligent young German Jew
who had been getting letters
from home about the situation in
Germany. He was not at all wor-
ried. His people had written him
that they were not being annoyed
and that the whole anti-Jewish
agitation was directed at a Com
munist element, mainly composed
of Jews.
Another German, a non Jew,
said to me: "Here in America the
Jews work like other people. In
Germany a lot of them don't do
anything but try to make trouble
for the Government"
But, of course, the German gov
eminent has handled the situation
stupidity, as it always handles any
situation. More than a hundred
years ago the great French histor-
ian, Guizot, wrote: "There is
something in the German tempera-
ment which makes them utterly
unable to understand the point of
view of other peoples.

women by making it possible for
them to do work in offices. / don't
think that is sound reasoning.
Hardly anybody but men used
typewriters for at least twenty
years after the machine was in
vented.
The rush of women into business
began in the early 1905 after the
telephone people had broken down
the barriers that kept women out
of offices.

PIGEONS

To The Editor:
At the present moment | am not
so much concerned with the ma
tional situation as with the fact
that my son has announced that
he wants to raise pigeons. He points
out that you start with a mother
pigeon and a father pigeon and
very shortly thereafter you have
any number of baby pigeons. He
says that food Will cost about
1855, but it will last a long time.
He suggests that the squads will
soon cover the initial cost. He
guarantees to service the pigeons
indefinitely with no obligation
whatever on my part. 1t certainly
looks like a good proposition. But
then I have been caught so often
before Or sure things. You know
what these sales talks are.
