The N. R. A. and Its Critics.

When the country was cropping in the
dark and dependency was the order of
the day. President Roosevelt came for
ward with recovery program, novel in
ary In character. The American people,
anxious to go somewhere" after the
steady retrogression of business and
agriculture and employment, fell in with
the idea of the N. r. A. They agreed
to give the program a chance, to permit
demonstration of its efficacy. 1t was
to be boon both to capital and to
labor, and upon the cooperation of
both capital and labor depended any
success that might attend the new ex-
pertinent. The support given the plan
has been remarkable.
Nevertheless. there have been plenty
OF skepticS from the start. Further,
there were at the start plenty of oppo-
nents of the whole N. r. A. program.
men who at heart believed that the old
industrial machinery was the better,
despite the fact that it had suffered a
terrible flop. For the most part the
skeptics and the actual opponents of
the N. r. A remained silent; they made
no open attacks on the plan.
1t was inconceivable that any great
and sweeping plan of industrial reform
would move forward faultlessly, with
never mistake on the part of the
administrators of the program. There
were bound to be delays when it was
necessary to iron out and to force
agreements between labor and capi-
tai, and between the groups in
both labor and capital And it was
clear that eventually the opponents
Of the N. r. A. would come forward
with their hammers, as soon as any
mistakes or cases of poor judgment in
the administration of the N. r. A.
arose. One of these mistakes has been
the effort to drive Americans rather
than to lead them. The threat of boy
colt, particularly by the Government
of the United States, which in the
past has attacked all boycotts, was
especially unfortunate. The Govern
ment of the United States has been
predicated on law and justice with the
consent of the governed, not on force.
Notwithstanding any mistakes that 1t
may have made, the N. R. A. has ac-
complished much for industry in the
months it has been in operation. A vast
amount of preliminary work had to be
done. There has been a remarkable
measure Of cooperation between indus
trialists and labor and the Government.
When, for example. the history OF the
conflicts In the soft coal industry, cover.
ing many years and leading frequently
to bloodshed, is considered, the fact that
4 code for The mines could be worked
out at all Is remarkable. The N. r. A.
il still in its infancy. 1t would be
grievous II it should die an untimely
death because of the folly of its admin
istrators or because of the attacks OF
its enemies. For what is to come after
the N. R. A.? To avoid disaster what
Ia the alternative course of the Nation
II the New Deal completely fails?
Criticism Of the N. r. A. that Is de-
signed to be helpful rather than de-
structive is needed, and such criticism
should be freely given and thankfully
accepted. But an effort today, before
the full trial Of the New Deal proposals
has been had. is another matter.

marked an upward tendency. In l84S
serfdom was abolished and the two
factors, the industrialization and the
deliverance Of peasants from the de.

recovery process. Machinery was IN

sY DIR. JESSE W. srRowLs.

When does a man begin to grow old?
This question has often been asked, but
never answered. Somehow, we don't
like to talk about the things we don't
like to admit. For this reason, valid.
sensible answers are hard to obtain on
the question Of senescence.
Somewhere in the 40s most men be-
gin to feel little bored with the exist
ing scheme of things. Their interests,
as a rule. gradually narrow down to
about what it takes to make a living
and to provide for that tomorrow of re-
tirement. This is the first sign of grow
ing old.
The years that fill the stretch Of a
lifetime seem to turn upon themselves.
These years cannot be represented by
straight line. A circle is a better rep
resentation. And the sharp turn in the
circular path seems to come about so.
By go the circular path Of the years Is
closing in definitely toward the begin
ming. The aging man likes to be waited
upon. He is pretty likely to fall VIC
tim to youthful love of fiattery. He is
turning childish without suspecting it.
BY the age of 30, childish whims and
fancies are common. Not in every case,
to be sure Now and then you find an
'octogenarian who is living on a straight
away instead of the circle When a
man quits waiting on himself he is def
nitely growing old.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Yucatan. The greater part of this LIANT
now belongs to Mexico, but several hun
dred years ago Yucatan was under con
troll OF the Maya Indians. The Maya
appear to have been more advanced
than any other Indians in either Nortl
or South America.
When the Spaniards arrived, thel
found that the Maya folk had inventet
system Of writing. The writing wal
made up partly of picture words ant
partly Of sound signs. Sometimes it wal
done on animal skins, sometimes on thu
dried bark of trees.
History, magic, religion and the cal
endar were subjects written about bI
the Mayas. The Spaniards DESTROYED al
many Of the writings as they could find
because they did not wish heather
works to last, but several Mayan book
have been saved.
The Mayas used care in keeping tracl
OF the passing days. They knew thai
the year is not exactly 365 days long
and, to allow for the extra hours, theJ
counted leap years in much the samI
manner as we do.
The records of the Mayas go bach
1000 years. Some Of their ancient
buildings have lasted to the present day
and we know that they used stone, con,
crete ana limestone plaster.
The Mayas built pyramids somewhat
on the order of those in Egypt, though
not so large. One of these, at q place
in Yucatan called Chichen Itza, is ID
feet In height and some 200 feet square
at the base. At the top a small temple
still exists. Very likely the temple wai
used for worship of the sun or the sun
god. A broad stairway leads from Tho
base of the pyramid to the top.
Living In and near Yucatan today are
100000 persons of Mayan or mixed
blood. They are what is left of tho
Maya race, but their ways have beer
changed by the coming Of the whites
No longer do they build pyramids OF
carry on other strange customs Of time,
gone by.

A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Dependability.

"And he answered and said, 20 sir; and
went not."-Matt.. xxi.30.
pERHAPS this young man fully in
tended to go and work that day in
his fathers vineyard when he gave
his word that he would go. But some
thing else came up and diverted him.
Whatever happened, his conduct shows
that he was not dependable. The story
does not tell us anything of his future
career. He may have been a bright
and promising young man, but unless
he changed, you may be sure he had no
future worth telling about.
It may sound very commonplace to
talk about dependability, and yet it is
one Of the most essential of life's vir-
tues. There are other qualities which
are greatly to be admired, but without
dependability they amount to little. If
one is not reliable and dependable, no
matter how talented or well educated
he may be, he is not wanted anywhere
Business does not want him. Society
does not want him. He is not wanted
even in the underworld of thieves.
Everywhere we want dependable
things and dependable people De-
pendability is the rock upon which oul
whole social structure is built. Oul
commercial institutions are no stronger
than the integrity of the men behind
them. The success of democracy il
conditioned upon reliable leadership anc
a dependable citizenship. We need tt
guard our loyalties, and make sure oi
our anchorage in the old-fashionec
virtue Of dependability.
This goes for the church as well a.

ministry there were many who fol-
