and theoretical methods Of aerodynamic
research. He later was connected with
the German Navy. with the Zeppelin

THE CRIMINAI,s EXCUSE

What excuse does a criminal give
to justify his anti-social course?
Every man always has to justify
himself in some way, to his own
satisfaction at least. What can the
crook say that will make him feel
that he is warranted in stealing
hard earned money, and depriving
honest people of their rightful pos
sessions?
The criminals usual excuse is
that everybody is dishonest. Many
Of them claim they have suffered
from other peoples dishonesty. If
they lost money in some Investment,
they claim it was stolen. They as
sert that every man has his price,
that the whole business world is
rotten with corruption, and that it
is no worse to hold up people with
a gun and take their money, than
it is to practice the politer forms of
fraud which they say are universal.
This is highly prejudiced point
of view. Most of us have more faith
in human nature. AS we look about,
it seems as if the great majority of
folks were honestly trying to do
the right thing. When the criminal
claims that everybody is dishonest,
he shields his own wickedness by a
false excuse.
There is far too much dishonesty,
far too many people who have had
a good standing in the country, yet
who are building up fraudulent
schemes which entice good money
away from people who can not af-
ford to lose it, which sums are never
paid back.
Every time anyone does anything
he gives aid to this yellow
streak of crime. Some young man
who knows about his dishonesty, is
thereby tempted to conclude that
everybody is crooked, and he may
yield to that temptation and be-
come an enemy of society. People
who do dishonest things not merely
lestroy their own character, but
hey tempt others to enter that
downward path of sorrow.

REYIYING WAR MEMORIES

There were 10000 marchers in
the American Legion parade in Chi
cago, one of the greatest process
sional events in our history. The
cheers of these veterans and the
plaudits of the crowd bring back the
thought of the war days, of those
anguish torn weeks when many of
our people dreaded each day lest
the postman or telegraph messenger
should bring news of tragedy.
1t was long said that the soldiers
who served in the trenches hated
to talk about the war, the memory
of it was so terrible. But time soft
ems hard memories. Probably most
of the men who served in the war
are glad and proud they had the
chance. Those who served under
the stars and stripes found a new
affection for their country that has
enriched their lives.

TWELVE MILES In THE AIR

Russian scientists performed a
notable stunt a few days ago when
they climbed up nearly IL miles in
the air. The infinite spaces that sep
arate us from sun and moon and
stars, are the subject of the scien-
lists keenest curiosity. What ma
terial fills those immeasurabIe
areas? Could man live in them?
Will he ever cross them?
Rising IL miles in the air may not
seem to throw much light on such
questions. But as time goes on,
these adventurous journeys will go
higher. Possibly some day man will
have learned the secret of. inter-
stellar navigation, and we shall have
excursions to the moon and Mars.
Many people can recall how
thrilled they were years ago, in
reading the tales of that scientific
romancer, Jules Verne, by his story
From the Earth to the Moon"
Verne told the tale of daring adven-
turers who shut themselves in a hol-
low projectile and were shot out of
great cannon on a voyage to the
moon. The idea seemed to be that
when the projectile got beyond the
power of gravitation, it would cease
to be pulled downward to the earth.
But how such a projectile could
be so aimed as to hit the moon, or
could be steered to its surface, how
it could cover that vast distance,
and how it could get back to earth,
are details that are still to be
solved.
Man has already accomplished
such wonders, that it would be fool
ish to say that until the end of time
he will be confined to our planet and |
unable to go beyond it. We who now
live will never see a human being
penetrate beyond the envelop of air |
about our plant, but we can not say |
what wonders our grandchildren
will witness.

TRAINING FOR WANDERERS

An ambitious plan for educating
transient idle persons, is an
naunced by the Federal emergency
relief director. 1t is proposed to
gather in people who are wander
ing around from place to place, and
give them proper food, clothing,
-and medical care, and train them
for useful work. This plan ap-
parently would include hitchhikers,
hoboes, and wide range of wander
ers. Probably the great majority
are really seeking work, but many
are just old-fashioned tramps.
If this thing could be done sue
cessfully, it would be worth all it
can cost. The army of wanderers
are a demoralizing force. They fill
the minds of boys with restless no.
tions, lead many to depart from
their home towns, where they might
eventually obtain jobs. Once fell
low has acquired the wandering
habit, it becomes difficult for him
to stick to regular job.
Some skepticism can be felt as
to the results of such a plan on
habitual vagrants. They will cheer
fully accept the food and clothing
and lodging so long as it is given.
They might attend classes in trade
instruction. But when they were
supposed to be ready to graduate,
and go to work, the bulk of them
would probably disappear, and re-
sumo the same old drift. 1t gets
into the blood, like some deadly
paracite that feeds on human vi
tality.
Many of the younger fellows who
have taken to wandering in vain
hope to find work, would take kindly
to such treatment. They want to
work, and would do what they could.
The energy with which most of the
boys have taken hold of the conser-
vation work in the forests proves
that well enough.
If we get complete business re-
vival, so that the factories are once
more looking for help, most of such
boys would go to work. The expert
ment is we'll worth trying.

AFTER THE KIDNAPPERs

A very stiff blow was delivered tC
the cruel kidnap gangs a few days
ago, when juries in Edwardsyille
illinois, and Oklahoma City, con-
victed 1S defendants in kidnap cases.
The American people are showing
in these prosecutions that they are
not going to lie down helpless under
the outrages of such brutal Grim
inals.
1t is a great help in pursuing
crime, if public indignation is
aroused against the offenders. If
the public is Indifferent about crime,
it is not so easy to secure swift and
certain punishment. But when the
public becomes thoroughly angry,
help is given the officers of the law
from every source. Tips come to
them, throwing light on the crime
mystery, and the forces of the law
are encouraged to do their utmost
to track down the perpetrators of
F..- 40 -- II.
these deeds.
If we could have the same boiling
public indignation against every
criminal deed that is felt against the
cruel kidnappers, we should get more
of the ordinary run of bandits and
held-up artists behind the bars.
People have become too tolerant
about such crimes, and they have
come to look at them as something
that can't be helped, and which must
be endured, like insect pests and
bad weather.
But crime is not thus impregnable
10 attack. When the American people
get thoroughly aroused about any
thing, and everybody takes hold to
put an end to that thing, the power
If the officers of the law is greatly
and it becomes possible
% put public enemies where they
,elong.
The bestial cruelty of the kidnap-
,ing racket has impressed itself on
he public mind. People everywhere |
oathe the perpetrators of such |
leeds, and anyone with a spark of |
will help track such mis-
reants down. The kidnapping ele-
1ent should realize that their stunt
5 dangerous, and if they try it on,
hey will wish they hadn't.

HAZING

About this time in former days,
the freshmen of schools and col
leges were put through course of
discipline administered by sopho-
mores and older students. 1t was
claimed to be useful in moderating
their bumptiousness. So countless
of these beginners were put under
the pump, thrown over the fence,
and subjected to various humilia-
tions.
Youth is a bit cruel, and often
serious injuries were done. Educa-
tional authorities frown on such
methods now. But though the
hazers rarely inflict physical suf-
fering now, there are other ways of
making newcomers in school feel
silly. The hazers should not be too
sure they are fitted to impose such
penalties. They usually need disci-
pline quite as much themselves.
Milford chronicle., 1933-10-13
THE FOOTBALL

Once again the dull thud of the
punted football resounds, and the
modern titan of the gridiron root
in the dust and mud. The grand
stands are a riot of sound and
color, and the cheering throngs
worship the most popular form of
modern heroism.
1t is not so pretty a spectacle as
baseball, in which every play stands
out in clear cut relief. Half the
time the football spectators can't
see who has that dirty pigskin, and
the finer strategy of the game is
only guessed at.
But human nature does love a
fight, and football is that kind Of
conflict. We have changed the
scenery and equipment of athletics
as time has passed, but the football
crowd is ruled by sentiments much
like those that swayed the throngs
1000 years ago in the amphitheatres
of Rome, when the gladiators con-
tended for the mastery. Football
calls for strength, manual skill, and
brains, and athletes commanding
these qualities will always be pop
uIar idols.

OPENING CLOSEp BANKS

Secretary of the Treasury Woodin
is working with President Roosevelt
on plans for opening closed banks
which have about $4,OOO,OOO,OOO Of
deposits. If that vast amount of
frozen assets could be let loose in
the business stream, we should get
tremendous accession of buying
power. 1t is the biggest single
thing that could be done now for
industrial recovery.
Yet nothing will be gained in the
long run by paying out money that
is not backed by good assets. That
kind of thing got the American peo-
pie into trouble. But probably the
greater part of these deposits are
based on good assets, and the sooner
the people are allowed possession
of funds so secured, the quicker we
shall start up the idle wheels.
Milford chronicle., 1933-10-13
UNFAIR COMPETITION

The most harmful form of unfair
competition in retail trade, is the
disposition to sell inferior goods at
a low price, while the claim is made
that they are "just as good" Some
times such sales are made in per-
feet honesty, and the seller really
believes he is giving a good bar
gain. Goods listed as seconds"
sometimes last just as long as high
grade stun. the difference being
mostly in the superficial appearance.
But it is the business Of retail
dealer to study merchandise so
thoroughly, that he can usually tell
whether they will give satisfaction
or not. A community where that is
the prevailing idea is. going to gain
reputation far and wide for re-
liable trade. 1t is our belief that
Milford has acquired that reputa-
tion.
Milford chronicle., 1933-10-13
moo MrCH AGONY TALK

1t is frequently remarked, that if
this or that plan does not succeed
in putting all our idle people to
work, the country is headed for ruin.
Do this or suffer from chaos, we
frequently hear. This does not show
good sense. Our people are stead
lily getting back to work, and many
of the new forces being set in mo-
tion have not had time to operate
as yet. Our excitable people should
calm down, and let the headling
forces of nature take their course.
While we have number of mil
lions of people still unemployed,
probably four-fifths Of the people
have work. They can support the
other fifth If necessary, until we
clean up our old wreckage and Gre
ate new foundations for business.
Less agony talk, and more quiet
faith, is what we need.
Milford chronicle., 1933-10-13
AGENTS AND CANYAsSERS

A man was expressing some quite
caustic thoughts the other day
about the constant succession of
agents and canvassers who come to
his door, teasing him to buy things
he doesn't want. He was weary
with having to turn them down, and
he berated many of them for being
too persistent, or discourteous in
some cases.
"You are too hard on them" said
his wife. She was sorry for their
long tramping of the streets, and
the poor results which the majority
of them seem to have. 1t hurt her
sympathies to have to send them
away.
Sales by such agents take bust
ness away from the stores, many of
which may need the money just as
much. Yet you can't help being
sorry for many fellows who are try
ing to sell goods to the homes be-
cause they can't find anything else
to do. 1t is better to try to earn an
honest dollar by selling a useful
article, than it is to lie down, and
wait for someone to help you.
If people are determined to try
the selling game from door to door,
some advice should be given them.
Don't think you can make sales by
long winded orations. Put the
heart of your proposition into one
or two sentences, and if the house.
holder or the "missus" shows no
interest, don't exasperate them by
talking and talking. And don't call |
people stupid or foolish if they don't |
buy.
There are many more people try |
ing this way of earning money than |
can make a success at it. The col
lege boys trying to work their way
in this manner, might have done it
in boom times, but it's fishing in a
dry brook now. Any kind of work
which people want done, whether
digging in the dirt or what not,
would seem more hopeful, if one
has physical strength.
