vi. Says:

Muscle SHOALS is the key to a new power
Iva policy in this country, new idea of con-
servatlon, new understanding of public re-
sources and how they should be handled
At all events, that is the way President
Roosevelt seems to think of it.
eff we are successful here" he says 1--WE can
march on, step by STEP in like development
of other great territorial units within our
borders"
Muscle Shoals as it stands today synbolizes
the old order of waste, exploitation, and 20
litical pull.
1t was not private enterprise based on pri-
vate investment or private property rights, yet
private interests have been able to check its
use for fifteen years
The theory back of this curious situation
rests on the assumption that the people have
no right to make use of what they own lest by
so doing they interfere with the right of great
corporations to establish virtual monopoly.
THE people have been told that they ought
l. to lose $100,0O0,00O as well as abandon all
their interests in the Tennessee and other great
rivers, SO that private industry can take charge.
Private industry presents individualism as
sanctioning such sacrifice, just as though a COM
bine or trust should be regarded in the same
light as the lamplghter or candle dipper of
Thomas Jeffersons day.
We no longer are dealing with the individual
when it comes to heat, light and power, but
with large and powerful groups, and we no
longer can protect ourselves except by mobiliza-
ton OF public resources through public capital.
AS matter of common sense, Muscle Shoals,
as President Roosevelt proposes to develop it,
takes us back to the old idea of competition
which big business is doing its best to KILL espe-
cially in the field Of electric enterprise.
Muscle Shoals offers an opportunity to prove
what the production of electricity costs and
whether there is not an overabundance of water
in the capital of some of the great concerns now
producing it.
=
IF the project is carried out properly and if
Il the Tennessee river is brought under any,
thing like scientific control, we shall learn what
can be done not only in the production of cleo
tricity, but in flood prevention and afforestation
through well-planned photographic system.
We really are going to school when we tackle
Muscle Shoals-a school that should teach us
much about some Of the bigger things which our
natural resources, technical knowledge and sur
plus wealth make it possible for us to do.
We are going to begin new adventure in
the hinterland, a new struggle to harness ma
ture, new type of undertaking which may
lead to new type of life for many people.
II the rehabilitation of Muscle Shoals and
the development of the Tennessee river prove
successful, they well may change the general
direction of our economic and social ideals by
introducing us to the possibilities of q land
which We still know little about.

crude it must appear after that of
the elegant Mr.. Gable.
More than likely her gallant will
be all feet and hands and stammer
when he pays compliments, and will
run away at the slightest offense.
To make bad matters worse, such
as he is he is very rare. The moving
picture girls always are sure of from
two to three pursuers, whereas our
poor little heroine never can be
certain she Will have any.
The only thing she has to console
her is that half a loaf is better
than no bread" so while she dreams
Of the wonderful males who people
the fantastic land of cinema, she
marries the best fellow she can
catch-and in too many cases never
appreciates him, because her mind
is filled with the romantic unreal
creatures who exist nowhere save in
the brains of scenario writer's.
To tell what the American sweet
heart and husband has suffered at
the hands of moving picture pro-
ducers would require the genius Of
Dosteoveski. 1t would take another
Milton to sing their lost ParadisfS.

Conservative presses are rafting

trine of Russian non-recognition

peace, Soviet Russia and the United
States are necessarily the deciding
and most powerful factors.
Russia's religious attitude parallels
that of the Robespierre government
after the French revolution and
through its own shortcomings will
merge into more liberal doctrine.
Perhaps it is best to educate illit-
crate people and leave religion, a
highly complicated study, out of the

God and Christ, but on the thieving.

The principles of Christianity are
more alive in Russia than ever be-
fore, if we may believe unbiased
travellers. At any rate, let's temper
our judgment.
Strangely enough. Russia's eco
nomic problem is similar to our own,
in a certain light. A potential gran

not unlike ours after we won our

The time is not centuries distant
when the U. S. S. R. and the U. S. A.

4 Bad Ad

BY Mrs. F. H. Lee. Baltimore. Nd.
T WONDER if the people of In
a dianapolis know the treatment
that visitors receive from your
police.
My two boys were unfortunate
enough to have trouble with their
car Saturday night, so at 2 in the
morning they were manhandled
and very abusive language used.
I called the matter to the atten-
ton of your police captain, with
very little respect shown me.
They had to push the car to
East Sixty-third street, then walk
down College avenue to Sixty-frst
street and Carrollton avenue.
A police car drew up and two Off
GERS got out, grabbed the boys and
treated them like they were tough
characters, then asked them
where they were going.
All they found or the boys was
pipe, for smoking, then one Off
Ger held them while the other
went to the corner store to see if
anything was stolen.
I am considering making Indi-
annapolis my home, but if that is
the way your city is run, I don't
think I care to come there, for
we at least have gentlemen on our
force at home.

least a pint of milk a day, some fish
occasionally, one orange Or one to-
mato, or a helping of mixed salad,
an ounce a day of butter and occa-
sionaly some liver or cod liver oil.
1t must be borne in mind that
these main constituents of the diet
are not mutually replaceable.
In other words, one can take ire
mendous amounts of Galleries in the
form of sugar and still not get the
essential vitamins.
The cheapest sources of caIories
are the cereals, margarine and sugar,
and closely behind them butter,
cheese, bacon and dried fruits.
Nowadays, leafy green vegetables
are so reasonable in price that they
may be depended on largely to pro-
vide protective foods, in addition to
milk.
Potatoes, tomatoes, celery, lettuce,
endive and watercress are exceed
ingly reasonable, and are especially
recommended as essential food sub
stances for their mineral and vita
min content.

It Seems

MUCH has been written about
1F1 the situation in GERMANY.
but as yet 1 have read little which
undertakes to explain the under,
lying psychology of Hitler's anti.
SemitiSm.
AS a matter of fact, I am no
familiar with any great amount Of
research into the nature Of prejudice
in general. George Britt and I oncs
wrote book in which we under
took to gather a few facts about the
nature and extent of discrimina-
ton against Jews in America.
And naturally. We hardly could
resist the temptation to do a little
theorizing. But it was rather vague
and unconvincing.
I must admit that race and re-
ligiouS prejudice remains mysterious
to me. One man who was brought
up in little town in Georgia did
come forward with some interesting
testimony, but it covered only one
phase Of prejudice.

Undernutrition Result of Two Factors

A SSOCIATED with widespread
L A unemployment is the possibil-
ity of undernutrition, due to two
causes: First, lack of funds suffi-
Gent to purchase food; and, Sec
ond, wrong choice of food in re-
lationship to restricted budget.
Any diet must be Judged by
four main factors: The number
of calorieS. which is measure Of
its energy value; the amount of
good protein necessary for repair
and growth; the amount of min
eral matter, and the vitamins.
1t now is recognized generally
that the average adult man re-
quires about 5000 calories a day,
the average woman about $500, and
the average child, from 8 years on,
from 1900 to 5000, depending on
its weight and its activities.
AS we grow older, the amount
necessary for energy is less, so that
a person more than IS years of age
needs $3.50 calorieS a day.

HEALTH AND DEPRESSION

IF you doubt that the scanty fare and poor
l. living conditions caused by extreme poverty
have undermined the health of poverty's vic
TINS you might ponder over remarks made by
Colonel James P. Barney of the United States
army after he had inspected the first group
of 800 conservation corps recruits at Fort
Knox, KY.
Looking over the under-fed young chaps
in the detachment, Colonel Barney brooded:
"They tell me I've got couple of weeks to
train these boys before they're assigned to
some forest project, but two weeks isn't enough.
1t ought to be at least month before they
are fed enough and get their muscles used
to work"
That blunt comment speaks volumes about
the price which young bodies have been pay
ing for the depression.

A Woman's Viewpoint ::

T IFE must be very discouraging
IL to the girl who combines NOV
ing picture shows with husband
hunting.
If she follows the reel romance,
she is bound to be buoyant with
hope, because the screen heroes are
the most easily beguiled of men!
An inviting smile, coy glance, a
slight disclosure of natural charms
will bring them running. They are
susceptible and passionate and
poetic.
Moreover, they always are
elegantly dressed, even though they
may go ir overalls. Their sartorial
perfection is equaled only by their
instinct for doing the noble thing.
They always are devoted, always
ardent, and always on hand.
So our modern maid steps forth
from the moving picture palace with
fresh energy for her quest. How sad
it is, then, to think of her, lost in
real world, where men are so
much more elusivel Here is true
tragedy in its most intense form,
an eternal pilgrimage after the
gleam.

of calories provided by a diet is
relatively simple when it is under
stood that each gram of protein
yields about four calories, each gram
of carbohydrate about four calories,
and each gram of fat about nine
calories.
1t was thought at one time that
all protein was alike, but it now is
found that the proteins from cheese,
eggs, fish, meat and milk are SUI
perior to other proteins for purposes
of repairing body wear and tear.
Every adult human being needs
about thirty-seven grams daily of
first-class protein.
1t now is well recognized that
milk and milk products, fresh sal

liver oils and eggs take care salts

Finally, Britain can not afford to
make war in any form on the Soviet
Union as long as she remembers
that in that war, Britons would not
die for Britain, but for the highly
questionable Metropolitan Vickers
Company.

Russian soil at this time should cast

for the sake of the rest of mankind

Every Nation Knows

TT must be remembered that Ger
L many, although a highly civilized
country, contains its vast army of
boobs, like every other nation. Hit
Ter and his associates are playing
upon their folly. Nazi performances
IN lettering the condition of the
country lag many miles behind Nazi
promises.
In that situation it always seems
eXpedient to dictator to find some
one to blame, to divert attention.
Nero got along very nicely in Rome
for awhile by blaming the bear
market Of his own day on the early
Christians.
The Nazis being wholly unable
to raise the scale of the mass of
their followers, try to appease them
by Indictment to throw rocks
through the widows Of Jewish store
keepers. And, in like manner, the
cultural cupboard of the Nazi move
ment being bare, it becomes ex-
pedient to burn the books Of jew
ish authors.
I only can hope that the boobs

ture will wake to the fact that even
the anti-Semitism Of Hitler is only
a racket.

One Kind of Prejudice

IT'S community was almost
4 Il wholly without benefit of any
foreign immigration, and he said
that when a peddler of any persua-
sion whatsoever came through the
town the boys invariably referred TO
him as that Jew peddler. " In other
words, Jew became a synonym for
''outlander" or foreigner" But in
Germany the Jew is hardly a
stranger.
1t is not difficult to understand
that closely knit communities should
regard the stranger with a certain
amount of suspicion. Even in fairly
well-developed civilizations, there is
fear of the foreigner. His language,
his customs, and sometimes even his
garb seem curious, and he disturbs
the complacency and smugness of
any isolated group.
Prejudice has curious habit Of
cutting in two directions. People
who admit that they hold it and act
under it sometimes will seek JUS
tification by explaining that they
have prejudice against members
of this or that race or nationality
because they feel that they are
inferior.
But these same people will wheel
about and say that they can't stand
some group because it is composed
of people who are too clever and
successful.
This was illustrated during the
Scottsboro trial, where Negroes were
excluded from the jury, on the
ground that they were inferior, and
the Jewish counsel for the de-
PENDANTS was attacked roundly on
the ground that he was a city slick
er intent upon fooling the poor
naive natives Of Decatur.

OBVIOUSLY when a man be-
~ gins to explain and Justify
any prejudice, he does not give the
real reason for that feeling. even
though he may believe that he is
talking with the utmost frankneSs.
The emotion operates very largely
from the SubcOnScious mind.
Indeed, it is tragically true that
the most stubborn of all kinds of
prejudice is found in the breasts of
those bliSsfully ignorant of the fact
that they bear any prejudice at all.
OF course. economic reasons will
account for a good many instances.
When Chinese cheap labor first
came to the coast all Chinese, with
out exception, soon became villains
in the public mind. But when this
immigration was checked and the
rush of japanese began, it was
easy to transfer the prejudice to the
newcomers.
Indeed, almost overnight Califor-
mans began to say that the Chinese
were honest and trustworthy and a
splendid people, but that you could
not trust those japanese.
The sudden violence Of the Jew
ish persecution in Germany leads
me to suspect very strongly that
some one in the Hitler group is
quite consciously and callously pull
ing the strings. The very fury of
1t suggests artificial stimulation.
Honest prejudice" is practically
contradiction in terms, but I will
not credit the Nazi leaders with
possessing even as shabby an ex-
cuse as that. 1t is a game of des-
perate politics which they are play
ing. They have not hesitated to set
fire either to buildings or public
for their purposes.

Waterbury motorists interested in actual driving conditions will be afforded the rare opportunity of witnessing the new Ford V-S Standard Tudor in it's 10000 mile economy test, travelling on strict S2O-miles-a-day schedule. when the orange and blue test car passes through here Thursday, July goth. at 1 p. m.
 The 10000 mile journey will continue for 12 days commencing Thursday morning. when the test car pulls forth from Madison Square Garden in New York city. The trip will be completed only when the 10000 mfde registers on the miIometer. The car will leave the famous sporting center with fitting fanfare and recognition from metropolitan authorities promptly at S:30 a. m.
 The purpose will be to prove to Connecticut and New York motor ists that driving can be accom- pIished economically even in the most mountainous country and city traffic.
 Three drives will be used, in SblltSs 4kC tiaNCA~ ed over twice daily, will include: New York city. New Rochelle. Port Chester, Stamford. Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven, Middle town, Waterbury, Danbury, Pough- keepsie. Kingston, Ellenville, Mid- dletown. N ew D urgh, Peekskill. Tarrytown and Yonkers. The car will be at the local Ford head quarters at p. m. each day.
 Except for 60-second stops for refueling. the long Journey will be made continuously. with several stops at Ford Dealerships and ser vice stations. The schedule will be strictliy on a railroad time schedule and drivers will be warned if they are even 10 seconds late or fast. The fact that the run must be completed in 12 days make the endeavor even more grueling. This 10000 mile run will be equivalent to years driving by the average owner.
