The public works program Is differ
ent. No one except Ickes thought he
could put enough money out this Win
ter to do much good. It Is impossible
to be speedy and careful at the same
time in doling out Federal funds for
such work.
Ickes rushed through allotments OF
money at swift pace. He also made
lavish predictions. Both he and his
critics are irritated because the al
lotted money has not actually been
spent.
Government experts figured long
600 1t takes sir months from the
time the money is allocated to start
actual construction on q building.
still you cannot build castles in q
day.
It Is as obvious now as when Ickes
started that the bulk of his $3,O00,-
100000 will not reach the laborers
before next Spring.
Liberals Losing Out.
The Interior Department used to be
considered haven for liberals. It Is
fast losing that reputation.
The situation nearly came to the
point of a public airing recently. 1t
was reported Assistant Secretary Walt
ers intended resigning. He denied 1t
and things Gained down.
Underneath there Is strong conflict
between the liberals and Ickes' admin
istrative assistant, Ebert K. Burlew.
The liberals say Burlew opens all the
mail and the man who opens all the
mail controls the department.

BOY, "HANGED" AT PLAY,

TAMPA, Fla, September 19.-Sen-
fenced to die by hanging to climax a
wild West show. Leonard Sauders, 13.
Of Tampa played his part too well here
yesterday and escaped death by a mat
ter Of seconds.
An unidentified man saw Leonard's
limp body swinging from the limb Of a
tree. He cut the rope, summoned an
ambulance and sent the unconscious
boy to q hospital, where he was revived.
Leonard, with several other boys. was
playing Cow boys and Indians" and
Leonard was chosen as the horse thief
and sentenced to die. He was tied to
the tree and the young posse rode of

EeER( 4UaLEW

While Burlew is getting closer to
Ickes, the liberals are getting further
away.
Most detected is Henry Slattery. He
was long a confidential adviser Of Gif-
ford Pinchot, the Pennsylvania Pro-
gressive Ickes chose Slattery as his
personal assistant. but since taking
Office Slattery has been on a sidetrack.
Burlew Gets Things Done.
Men in the department who want
something done 60 to Burlew:
What rankles the Progressives most
is that Burlew Is holdover from the
Hoover Administration.
Ickes probably will get his boys
quieted down without any designations
or broken bones, but 1t will require an
inner reorganization.
One of the most influential insiders
is a man who keeps his name out OF
the newspapers. He Is Frank Walker
head of the Federal Statistical Co.
ordinating Agency.
His Job gives him contact with every
important Government department.. He
is using it to become the inside spokes-
man for the President with Govern
ment officials.
That gives him a stature equal with
the President, so far as they are con-
cerned.
Cotton and Recognition.
The price of cotton is the hidden
force behind the Russian export loan.
The deal was stalemated for while,
but r. F. c. officials got interested
again suddenly when they noted cot
ton prices needed stimulating.
That Is why Chairman Jesse Jones
went to see Amtorg officials instead OF
having them come to him.
It makes the contamination OF the
deal that much nearer.

URRENT red tape charges
wounded the ADMINISTRATOR
pride. It does not want the
~ idea that 1t Is procrastinatihe
to get around the country.
Orders have been quietly passed
down the line to accelerate everything
as much as possible.
So great Is the strain for speed that
the Federal Land Banks have been
ordered secretly to clear up IA months
of appraisal work before December l.
interior cecretary Ickes tndig-
nantly denied the red tape charge in
public, but turned around and r.
uately told the boys inside to apply
the spurs.
Oficials seem to be little more
excited than they need to be.
Few Cases Of Red Tape.
Any casual observer here can see
there had been less red tape In this
Administration than in any of its pred
ecessors. The reason Is that Congress
gave Mr.. Roosevelt dictatorial powers
to cut corners. No other President has
had such power, even in war times
There have been a few specific cases
where officials asserted red tape was
holding them back. In most Of these
instances a political purpose could be
discerned. The officials usually did
not want to do certain thing and
used red tape as an excuse.

FAMILY TEAMWORK IN FARM HOMES

Recent conditions have brought about much sue cessful cooperation in labor both inside and outside the farm home This is well illustrated by the Trant family, of Brazos County, Texas Mrs. Trant agreed to become pantry demon- strator under the direction of the home edemonstra ton agent. The agent went Mrs. Trants garden and canning budget for their family of four, and the father and two boys of eight and twelve years helped plant the garden in the early spring. The whole family become interested in the plans for producing better living-right at home.
 When the first string beans along Mrs to get pressure and sealer The boys and their father helped her with the canning. Then
 it became evident that there no place to store what they canned The house too small and they had back porch. So MT. Trant razed an old two-room house on the place to make storage house. He built 72 feet of shelving and eight bins for dried products
 Mrs Trant's food budget called for definite quantities of fruit, tomatoes, and canned salmon. She had fruit trees and her tomato crop was short, although she canned what she had. To get these foods and other things the list she ex- changed sold her surplus vegetables both fresh and canned
 Altogether she canned 974 quarts of food, rep resentng with her dried and stored products, total value of $38271. Her pantry demonstration was visited by more than 500 people She also taught 19 other women to use pressure canner.

ResOurceful Frenchmen.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Clncnnatl EnQulrer)
 This week the French Government sold tickets for the first lottery of series planned to expand the public revenues Facing the stubborn refusal of the people to pay higher taxes and the demand for continued high Government expenditures, the Paris Government began to fear it would have to resort once to imitation of the currency But this in turn is stoutly opposed by the people.
 possible way out is being explored in the national lotteries Judging from the first days re- sponse, the lottery idea is a good one, from the standpoint of revenue The 100000 tickets offered at 100 francs each gobbed up at the banks and post offices and many thousands of persons turned away. If the Governments cut of the total is much in other countries using the lottery, roughly 30 per cent the French Treasury will be a much more cheerful place in months to come.
 It is hardly flattering to the renowned French parsimony that sheer gamble should have such wide appeal The French more bitterly op- posed to tampering with the currency than any other nation in the world today. But their demand for stability does not go so far to resist this peculiarly intriguing form of speculation.
 And after all, there is positive assurance that one person in every ten will get 100 per cent or more return his investment in lottery ticket. Careful statisticians tell in America that a person plunging into pure speculation in stock market has less than one chanme in 20 of making a profit. Perhaps lotteries aren't much of a gamble at that.

DEATH OF ENERGETIC SOCIALIST.

Morris Elout lawyer and internationally known as a famous Socialist, who passed on several days ago in New York City while staunch supporter oi the principles of Socialism and was an energetc proponent of that cause, never resorted to the radical tactics advocated by leaders of the party He was an eloquent orator and depended upon his ability as such coupled with his courteous demeanor and treatment of opponents in debate, to win favor frequently from hostile audiences.
 As a member of the Socialist Party he obviously was opposed to the World War and particularly against the United States participating in it, his biographer writes After this country Jolned the Allies he insisted that it had needlessly entered the conflict When Russia and Germany were about c conclude a separate peace, MT. Hillqult answered
 coarge that he favored such move by declaring that he not only opposed to it, but favored general peace well as the breaking up of the military regimes of Germany and Austria
 At a Socialist meeting in New York in 1913, MT Hillquit publicly offered his services to President Wilson to 20 abroad and spread propaganda among the workingmen of Germany and Austria in an effort to have them overthrow their governments and thus aid the President in bringing about ms ideals of peace.
 In a debate on the League of Nations with Clarence S. Darrow at New York in 1926, MI. Hillquit spoke in favor of the organization He said that while the chief critics of the league had been the Socialists of all nations, they were not opposed to it. He characterized the league as a faulty instrument, but better than nothing as an instrument to prevent He expressed the belief that the adhesion of the United States to the World Court eventually would mean the entrance of this country to the League of Nations.
 MT Hillquit frequently was called upon to rep resent the Socialist Party in litigation One Of the most important of these cases was in 1920 when he was chief counsel for the five Socialist Assembly, men who were busted by the lower house of the New York State Legislature on charges that because of certain Socialist affiliations they were unqualified and ineligible to be Members of Assembly.
 In addition to his political activities Mir Hill- quit aided the Socialist Party by writings lectures and teaching of its principles. For many years ne was lecturer at the Rand School of Social Science in New York, generally recognized as the training school of Socialist orators and leaders.

24 Men at Work

Since resumption of the work this year. two dozen men have been slicing away the rock with powder blasts and air drills, smoothing the rugged mountainside for the even tual appearance of the other huge carvings.
 Conceived in 1924, the colossal memorial has been under construc- tion since 1927. At first it was hoped to complete it in five years, but lack of money, imperfections in the ancient stone and the height at which the men work all con- tributed to the delay.
 But now the famous artist be- lieves he finally has charted the face of Mt Rushmore and has again set his models for the final carvings. He plans to push the work as much as possible, ever continuing operations through thu coming winter under protection O canvas unless the weather shoule become unusually severe.
