The civil works program inaugu-
rated by the federal government and
which is taking effect Immediately is
commendable. About S4O0,000,0O0 will
be spent over the entire country and
for the duration of the work it will
likely provide direct employment for
about 100000 men. This is all aside
from the general and larger public
works program which naturally re-
quires some time to entirely be set in
motion. Plans for buildings, bridges.
dams, harbor improvements and the
like are not made in day or two.
But the civil works program is work
that can be undertaken Immediately
day labor at minimum of 55 cents
per hour with a maximum of 80 hours
per week.
The one criticism is that it has
not been undertaken earlier. But now
that we have it let us appreciate it.
Of course there will be gnashing of
teeth and wailing about where the
money is to come from to pay for all
the public undertakings. Where the
money is to come from does not worry
us nearly as much as the need OF
work and the distribution of money
earned instead of getting public re-
lief or accepting charity.
There is work to be done in Amer
ica and as long as that is the case
let the work be done, let the men
earn money with which to buy some
of loth
that we hear about. They can use
the food and clothing
If everybody were put to work the
prices on farm products would soon
advance. There will be no prosperity
and better prices so long as many
people are out of work and we have
stagnation.
We haven't heard anything about
America borrowing money from Eu-
rope to put on the work program. The
money is being raised right here in
America and as long as we have plen-
ty of it, the gold, silver, and green.
backs may as we'll be put into circu-
iatlon-just what it was intended for
If Uncle Sam does not want to issue
more greenbacks and he gets to ow-
ing some of his illustrious sons huge
sums there is always the taxation
method to reduce that debt. Federal
money can be raised by income and
inheritance taxes. The problem is
largely a matter of better distribu-
tion.
NO, let us not lose any sleep over
the cost of this federal program. Men
on the public relief rolls are a cost to
the government. If they are put to
'work it is also an expense to the gov
ernment, but something is produced
and the men feel better about it.
Let the wheels of industry be put
into motion. Let the good work go
on

RED VS.. BLACK

in The Progressive Of Madison, Wis.,
In his address to the American
Legion President Roosevelt said: at

took to take the national treasury
out of the red and put it into the

If such thing is possible that
your banker allows you to overdraw
your account (if you still happen to
have one) you may get a statement

Martin Luther: mo one can COM
mand or ought to command the soul
except God, who alone can show it
the way to heaven. 1t is futile and
impossible to command, or by force
to compel any mans belief. Heresy
is spiritual thing, which no iron
can hew down. no fire burn, no water
drown. Whenever the temporal
power presumes to legislate for the
soul, it encroaches."
Askov American., 1933-11-23

William Penn: Can clubs and
slaves and swords and prisons and
banishments reach the soul, or con-
vert the heart, or convince the under
standing of man? When did violence
punishments sincere Christian?
This maketh void the end of Christ's
coming, which is to save mems lives,
and not to destroy them; to persuade
them, and not to. force them"

In letter to the Askov American

just south of Rutledge the past season
and previous to that farmed north

IT'S o. X. NOW

Now that Russia is recognized
by America, the Russian people
and it's government can again be
mentioned in American society
circles without fear of the person
introducing the subject being
called Bolshevik or Communist.
Arthur Brisbane believes that
recognition will be beneficial to
both countries. He writes:
Russia, according to American
engineers and travellers, is on the
road to prosperity and wealth.
American recognition will hasten that
prosperity and ours. With the czars
the people never had any money, ex-
cept few that should not have had
it, and the masses could not read OF
write.
Stain gives them education.
Trade, modern industry and Rus
sia's resources will give them wealth
History will tell what effect wealth
and luxury will have on the nation
now devoted to Marx, Lenin and Com
munism.
When Victor Berger, sincere So
cialist was asked, ''If $4,000 of your
Socialists should each inherit $780,
900 how many would remain Social
ists?" he replied, perhaps 500, but
that has nothing to do with the truth
of Socialism"
With wealth, and universal edu-
cation that produces thinking, Rus.
sia's opinions and desires will change
Human nature cannot be changed
suddenly, and the handspring of hu.
man nature, at this stage of civiliza-
tion, is selfishness.

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"
COMING TO WASHINGTON
Otis Skinner Is Star Of the
Revived Civil War
Classic.

With Otis Skinner as Uncle Tom,
Queenie Smith as Topsy, Elizabeth Ris-
don as Eliza and other important roles
portrayed by Regina Wallace, Kate
Mayhem, Frank Wilcox and numerous
other stage notables, the Players Club
production of Uncle Toms Cabin"
which was Broadway's outstanding the
atrical thrill last Spring, Is soon to un
dertake an extensive tour Of the East
and Middle West.
The Harriet Beecher Stowe classic
it will be recalled, was revived at the
Alvin Theater, New York, last May,
where it met with success. Its popu
larity was SO great, in fact, that its run
was twice extended beyond announced
closing dates The revival was made
by the Players Club and was the first
Cabin" since the William A. Brady re-
vival in 1901.
Rowland Stebbins. whose production
Of The Green Pastures" established
him as an important figure in the
American theater, is the enterprising
and adventurous gentleman who will
sponsor the road tour of Uncle Toms
Cabin" thus making this historic mas
terpiece available to audiences outside
New York City Under the firm name
Of Laurence Rivers, Inc, Mr.. Stebbins
has in the past produced. in addition to
The Green Pastures" various George
Kelley plays, including the successful
Philip Goes Forth" and last seasons
provocative but improbable Red
Planet" by John L. Balderston. The
merit Of his past ventures guarantees a
touring production and company Of
Uncle Toms Cabin" that will equal
more likely surpass-the excellence Of
the Broadway presentation Of last
Spring.
Hartford, Conn.,, Mr.. SINNERS home
town, will witness the play october 81.
following which 1t will be presented for
one week in Boston. A tentative route
that has been arranged includes book
ings of from three days to one week in
Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago,
Cincinnati, indianapolis and st. Louis.
A. L. Aiken made the original
dramatization Of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
and A. E. Thomas revised the text for
purposes Of the current revival. which
is being staged by John Hayden.

She reminds me a little Of two peo-
pie I have always adored-there Is
something of Ina Claire in that face
and something of Jeanne Eagles. It's
a fine combination Of starry eyes and
insouciant curves. She has a fne
patrician air when she wants 1t also,
which is valuable for certain type roles.
The latest craze is copying motion
picture sets in building homes. The
picture which has started most COM
mentary of the sort is When Ladies
Meet" put out by Metro -Goldwyn-M Mayer
and which has inspired scores OF people
with its crisp fastidious beauty. j.
Stirling Getchell, advertising magnate,
got a complete set of the stills OF this
picture from the president of theatre
exhibiting it, and had his Greenwich,
Conn, house copied from them even to
the vines over the kitchen garden en-
trance.
It's a fascinating idea because you
really see what the effect is going to be
before it is created for you. And those
who blindly follow blueprints can't al
ways say the same.
Wouldn't you think that movieites
who spend hours day donning CO.'S
tumes-grease paint-false eyelashes-
LIQUID lifts-and all the other manifold
horrors of camera life would be glad to
be relaxed and informal in their leisure
hours?
Well, If you think that, your jingled
NOVELTIES are obsessed by longing to
dress up. They never get enough Of it.
Most Of their parties are costume" and
they never get tired of comparing
notes-seeing who can be most truly
original-and getting in and out OF the
elaborate costumes.
Recently Kay Francis and Kenneth
MacKenna gave barn party which was
as near to informality as Hollywood has
been in some time. You have all seen
pictures of the elaborate farmers and
farmerettes that showed up.
And when the Donald Ogden Stewarts
gave a motion picture party, the order
was for every one to come as some star
in a favorite role. The place was full
of Mae WestSthat is the conventional
thing to do. Every one but the original
had this notion. But some Of the i'm
ersonations-notably Mary Pickford as
Dolores Del Rio in Bird OF Paradlse"
must have taken hours of wiggling and
trying various make-ups to achieve.
Yet one young star that I know who
is good old garden variety brown, and
who keeps her hair light reddish gold
Evening star., 1933-09-12

spends exactly four hours twice a week
keeping that hair its precise shade.
When she leaves town for vacation
her hair dresser must go along or
else. And this hours per week-36
hours in a long month-doesn't include
the time taken up by putting each red
gold lock in place with hot iron a
couple Of times day or SO. I am
referring merely to bleaching time, mes
enfants.

UNEMPLOYED CALL
MEETING TO HELP
FARMERS ORGANIZE
BY T. M.

Springfield, nl.-A few weeks
ago a meeting of farmers was
called in Fayette county, Illinois.
1t was called by the Unemployed
Council and 40 farmers were pres
ent. The program was explained
to them, and all except one were
for it.
In this section it has not raiped
for months and all the crops were
destroyed. This is the worst year
the farmers have ever had. They
now have the problem of feeding
themselves, family, cattle, horses,
chickens, etc. and this is the rea-
son Of the meeting and also Of the
fact that in one days time, we
could get 40 farmers together.
At the meeting, we discussed
and agreed on building organiza.
ton on a township basis-settine
all the farmers in a township TO-
gether and electing a township
committee and then connectin,
these on a county basis togethel
with the county committee of th,
