IF YOU like to do cross
stitch embroidery, here is your
opportunity to stitch to your
hearts content. The illustra-
ton shows a group of de-
signs which are reduced and
cover only one-half of one Of
the IL sheets contained in The
washington Times won der
Package.
On some Of the half pages
we have shown there have ap-
peared 18 or 20 designs. The
reason for the fewer number
appearing on this half page
is due to the larger size Of
the motifs. For example: The
little Dutch boy and girl dane
ing in the center actually
measure 8 inches high and
18 inches long. This particu-
lar design would be splendid
for a tray, especially so if it
could be put under glass and
preserved carefully. A sugges-
tion-the background of this
could be ecru linen and the
figures in bright blue.
Attractive Border
The wide border shown is
212 inches wide, the cross
stitch coarse, which would be
very attractive in black and
bright colors. The outer edge
could be made in black, the
Zig-zag in red and the small
squares in orange or yellow.
A very appropriate border for
a large luncheon cloth.

to sherbet doilies and a tray

In the cities; TO the cities, consequently, went
the ambitious and energetic young men as
soon as the red sc%hooIhouse had finished with
them.
Today the wind Of change Is blowing over
the land. New economic conditions foreshadow
a decentralization of industry, of population
and Of culture. The small town is due for a
rebirth. The old barriers that isolated it have
vanished forever.
But, says Mr.. Young, I'VE will not get this
change in country life without good schools.
People will not move there or even stay there
II the educational facilities for their children
are inadequate. The schools are the key
which will unlock the country for modern
living"
All this is perfectly true; and no one who
has Travelled through rural districts in recent
years can fail to realize that a tremendous
start has already been made in the right
direction.
The fine new schoolhouse is more and more
becoming the cultural and architectural center
about which the life of the mail town is built.
Many and many a town has spent more money
than it really could afford to give its children
the best schoolhouse possible.
That is a healthy trend. Our democracy
must stand or fall by its educational system,
and the demands which it will make on its
schools in the immediate future will be greater
than ever before.
The little red schoolhouse, enormously
useful as it has been, has outlived its day.
The American scene will lose one of its dearest
landmarks-but it will get something better
to take its place.

LET SAM DO 1T

TN a wire to Governor Ruby Laffoon of Ken
u lucky, Harry L.. Hopkins, federal relief ad-
ministrator. made clear that the government
does not intend to assume any states entire
relief burden.
The rich state of Kentucky, it seems, has
voted absolutely nothing during the crisis to
feed its own destitute. City funds have run
out. The federal government now is car
rying the whole load of that states public
relief.
Hopkins suggested that Governor Laffoon
forthwith call a special session of his legis-
lature TO provide substantial funds so that
Kentucky will pay a reasonable share of the
cost of caring for its own destitute"
Mr.. Hopkins stand is Just. Federal
grants were needed to supplement. not sup
plant. local hunger relief. The allowance of
one federal dollar to every three local relief
dollars is generous.
Without state cooperation, the $500, 900,
900 federal fund soon will be gone, and all
states will suffer. States seeking to let
Uncle Sam do it" should be reminde that
there are such things as states duties as well
as states right.
We trust that Hopkins will continue to
resist political pressure from stingy states and
insist that they do their duty toward their
own needy families.

THE G OF ACES

ONLY thirty-three cars will start in the
~ 500-mile automobile race at the Indian
apolis Speedway next Memorial day. That
drastic rule change has been ordered by the
contest board of the American Automobile As
ISOLATION on recommendation Of Colonel E. V.
Rickenbacker, Americas ace of aces in the
World war and now president of the Speed
way Corporation.
That rule was urged on the lawmakers of
the speed sport by The Times the day after
the last 500-mile race was run. 1t is a wise
rule and a sane rule, and to the contest board
and Colonel R~ickenbacker belong a vote of
thanks from all racing followers for picking
up the suggestion.
1t was apparent after the last race that
staggering accident toll. Surely no event that
could take the lives of five men could be
looked upon as a sporting classic. 1t was a
throwback to the days of Rome, something
far from these days of a so-called higher civil
ization.
Rickenbacker and T. E. Myers, v~ice-presi-
dent of the Speedway, went to the contest
board meeting at Detroit determined to wage
a battle for added safety in the Indianapolis
race. The colonel is a Snowman, of course,
but a very human bowman. The deaths of
those five men last May shocked him far more
than he ever can explain.
So Eddie Rickenbacker went to war again.
1t was not to make his 5OO-mile race more
~colorful, but safer and saner. He won.
Rickenbacker NAV NOT he the are If ocaS
in the clouds any more, but he still is an ace
of aces among men. And that's what counts
most.

THE INDIANAPOLIS M
THE TRANSPORTATION STUDY

DRESIDENT ROOSEvELT'S reported deci-
i sion to have Secretary Of Commerce Daniel
Roper and others undertake a wide study of
transportation facilities should produce inter-
esting and helpful results.
But his inquiry will not, of course, supplant
that which Joseph Eastman, federal co-ordina-
tor Of railroads, is ordered to conduct in the
law which created the office he now holds.
Eastman, since the beginning, has been very
enthusiastic over the possibilities of his in
vestigation; in some respects he and others
regard it as the most important phase of the
new law.
In his first formal announcement since be-
coming rail co-ordinator, Eastman has an
nounced that he will have a separate staff of
research experts to help him carry along his
investigation.
Upon the findings he and his experts make
will depend recommendations for further rail-
road legislation of a more permanent charac-
ter for submission to congress.

THE MENACE

THE series of k%idnapings which have pro-
vided so many black headlines for the
newspapers recently comes as a shocking and
horrifying development.
Insolence and defiance of the underworld
which produced them remind us sharply that
so far we have made no Roadway whatever
in our avowed fight to check gangsterism.
Few crimes strike so directly at the Sc
curity and safety which organized society
seeks to provide for it's members as does kid
MAPPING.
1t is the meanest of crimes and the most
dangerous. 1t can flourish only when So
ciety's means of protecting itself against law
lessness is on the very edge of collapse.
These recent kidnapings ought to arouse
us to tackle the whole problem of gangsterism
with genuine vigor and determination. The
job will be one of the hardest we ever under
took; but it also will be one of the most i'm
portant.

Fifty Per Cent Fine

A S far as I can judge at this
N distance, Russia has done a
fine job in getting large masses of
people to work enthusiastically in
spite of the absence of the profit
motive. I think the Soviets have
given an adequate and crushing an
swer to the old complaint that col
lectivism brushes all initiative.
But l can not find that Mr.. Stain
as yet has been particularly stimu-
lating in showing his people new
ways in which to use leisure. He
himself seems to live monastically
and to work about twice as hard as
any captain Or even corporal of in
dustry.
And surely this is not the end
result of the vast and noble expert
ment in Socialism. Men who toll in
factories may be happier if they feel
that the plant belongs to them and
not to some exploiting boss. Yet,
even so, work is work. All the
decorations and prizes given out in
Russia seem to have gone TO those
groups which were able to make two
tractors grow where there was one
before.
I wait with interest for the day
when Comrade Stain pins a ribbon
on Ivan Ishkof, who managed to
sit for fifteen hours in the sun with
out once stirring from his position
to perform any unitarian act.

FAIR PLAY AND FAIR HOURS

CENERAL JOHNSON'S terse statement
- disappearing of the new code for mini
mum hours and wages submitted by heads
of the lumber manufacturing industry is one
with which most Americans will agree en-
phatically.
This code provided for a forty eight- hour
week and a minimum pay scale of 221h cents
an hour; and General Johnson Immediately
rejected it with the remark:
"Forty-eight hours is so long I wouldn't
even consider it, and speaking generally, 22h
cents is far below what I regard as a mini
mum wage"
A great deal is expected from these new
industrial codes. Properly handled, they can
form a pretty effective bulwark against a re-
turn of hard times.
But it seems self-evident that if they are
going to fill that function they must offer
substantially more than this proposed lumber
code. General johnson was entirely Justified
in rejecting it.

National Lumber Mfrs. Assn.
1t gives me much pleasure to tell
you that the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association and its
affiliated interests are entirely in
accord with the last paragraph of
your recent editorial entitled: Trees
Are Wealth" These industries look
upon the industrial recovery act as
their salvation.
The economic position and the
statutory obligations of lumbermen
have been such ever since the war,
and before, that it has been diff
cult, if not impossible, to keep most
of the forest products industrial
units either in a sound business
condition or in a position to prac-
tice sustained yield operations and
thereby to insure perpetuation of
forests.

pears to give the forest industries an
opportunity to make their business
remunerative enough to meet the.
cost of reforestation and %conserva-
tive cutting.
Permit me to say that your edi-
torial is in grave error in stating
that the forests are being destroyed
and mutilated" at the rate of eight
million acres a year. In the first
place, the total area cut over never
has been as much as eight million
acres a year, and except to a linn

Modern methods of treating burns
include application of liquid petro-
latum, or the application of melted
petroleum., which then hardens and
covers the burn.
A more recent method involves
the use of especially prepared tan
mic acid, which produces a crust
under which healing takes place.
Burns from acids are serious, par
ticularly nitric and sulphuric acids.
The first treatment is to wash off
the acid as quickly as possible with
a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and to leave the wound in the soda
solution for some time.
People who work in acids regu-
larly should wear gloves.
Electric burns usually are deep
and severe. They should be treat
ed as are other burns.

A FAIR CODE

WHATEVER flaws hostile operators may
w find in the new bituminous coal code, it
is apparent that this is the fairest and most
commendable code yet presented to the ma
tional recovery administration.
In every major feature it carries out the
policies and purposes of the Roosevelt admin
istration and the New Deal. Moreover, it has
the added advantage of having been drafted
by a joint conference of operators and miners,
thus assuring labor a voice in the future con-
duct Of the industry.
In wages, the code fixes a basic pay of SIS
a day for underground labor and 81 for surface
workers. Miners who work by tonnage are to
get wages comparable with this basic rate.
In regard to working hours, the code leaves
the final decision up to the national recovery
administration, and both operators and min
es agree to abide by the decision.
Collective bargaining specifically is guar
anteed, along with the miners right not to
buy at company stores and to have their own
check Weighmen at mine tipples.
And, as a protection to operators against
cut-throat competition, fair trade practices
are specified that will protect both large and
small mine owners.
Obviously, such a code offers much to both
miner and operator. For the former, it means
a decent living wage, restored purchasing
power and the right to organize and bargain
collectively. For the operator, it means the
end of price-cutting wars and other vicious
trade practices.
Those are factors that should assure favor
able consideration of the code by the Roose-
welt administration.
