SUE IS MET BY AN UPSETTING
 SIGHT
 Not until Sarah Lou was safely established in Kenneth Corbett'. car. and the red tail light of the car was q twinkilng crimson eys far, far down tho avenue, did su, draw q great breath of relief Were alone" she said solemnly Then she repeated 1t gieefully We're alonel"
 And she won't be back for ar hour, anyway" Jack had added Let's drive"
 Let's talk things over," Sue added. How did you settle the
 "The man. at the desk decided to take a chance. Nice bill we have to pay now, though. Sue, will you take Sally Lou tomorrow " and explain to her. in great detail, that we can't live by her standards of living? Something has to be done. I'll be in the debtors prison in q week. I hate to say anything to Dad"
 Don't trouble him with 1t. She'll learn. We'll show her our budget"
 "Where will we sleep?" Jack asked. That couch ts too prickly. She'll get the bedroom, of course"
 T don't know" Sue answered, "lf we double loads of blankets under us maybe we could stand the couch--"
 But all night long, in her sub conscious mind, Sue could feel the prick of the woolly material. She was tired when she wakened in the morning. Sarah Lou, sleeping blissfully. was unaware of the noise of the shower. of moving people, of doors being opened and closed.
 Sue left . note for Sarah Lou in which she explained that she was having oranges and rolls and bacon sent up from the delicates- sen. Then she pulled the blind lower and hurried downstairs to meet Jack.
 Once during the morning Sarah Lou called. She was meeting Ken meth Corbett for lunch at two, she said. She had just wakened and she needed two hours to get dressed and he had said he didn't mind. She told Sue tho groceries had come but she had changed the order a little and that she would have time to eat some breakfast. dress and go to lunch.
 Hanging up the receiver Sue re- hected ruefully that the former heircss had been quite right when she said that she had an unex- plained, pcnchant for food.
 But when Sue entered the attic studio that night, q little ahead of Jack who had been detained in q conference. her heart turned q gree enish yellow color. She knew that 1t did. otherwise she could n't have felt quite so nauseated, she was sure.
 A bottle of ink had been upset over the taupe carpet--the deep. rich, thick carpet that had been the pride of Sues homemaking heart. Cushions were thrown any where on the floor. Papers and magazines were scattered. Chairs were drawn 7 into inconvenient places.
 She went Into the kitchen. Then she sat down weakly. Breast of a chicken. played with and forgot ten, alligator pears, jelly that bore Q brand which she could never af- ford--Sarah Lou had certainly changed the order!
 Weariiy Sue went into the liv- ing room. Sarah Lou called from tho bedroom. "Oh Sue, the clean ing woman never even came to- day. Isn't 1t dreadful?"
 Cleaning womanl All of a sud- den Sues bottled up rage ieaped out.

Hold yourself in line when it comes to the line of your eyebrows. Most women lose their sense or proportion when they get eyebrow tweezers in their hands. Don't lose yours!
 Fashions fin the ways to wear your eyebrows have changed. 1eu no longer tweeze them into thin. straight line if you would be smart. Their own natural line is much more becoming.
 However. don't discard eyebrow tweezers altogether. You'il need them to remove struggling hairs which grow down too far on your eye lids and the ones that have grown too closely together in the middle.
 You should have a smooth, vn- lined brow. Eyebrows which grow close together in the middle mar its appearance. Twceze those hairs often. If your eyebrows are unusually thick and have shaggy appearance, thin out few hairs occasionally.
 Don't try to change in the nat ural line. Leave them in the line In which they grow-Just be sure and keep that natural line smooth, with no rough edges. Tweezing your eyebrows until only a few hairs remain defeats your purpose. Instead of enhanc- | ing the beauty of your forehead | and eyes, the excessive tweezing will serve to dishguret hem. If your eyebrows aren't thick -a-A tA plyain white vaseiine on them at night.
 Don't forget to brush them with small, soft brush after you pow der your face. They won't be shiny and beautiful if they are allowed to become encrusted with powder dust.
 Eyebrow pencils can be used to darken eyebrows that are too light colorde. But use it sparing. ly. especially in the daytime.

DOLLAR WHEAT

DOLLAR wheat has much more behind it
- than speculation To that degree it is
healthier and means more to business recovery
than the unwise Wall Street boom in certain
industrial stocks which again are selling be-
You'd their earning capacity
Doubtless there is a speculative factor in
the sudden and rapid rise of grain prices.
Some are gambling on the possibility of fur
ther monetary imitation and a continued fall
of the dollar on foreign exchanges. But that
is not the chief factor.
Three other forces are operating: Farm
prices properly reflect the increase in indus
trial activity of the last month, and the vir-
tual guarantee of larger urban purchasing
power through the minimum wage maximum
hour codes of the national industrial recov-
cry administration.
At the same time, the farm relief admin
istration plan for future wheat crop restric-
ton promises smaller surplus to depress the
market. Finally, nature is cutting down the
supply; vast areas in the grain belt of the
middle west are being burned by heat and
drought
This last factor, which probably has a
larger effect in lifting the market than any
other, will not bring permanent farm relief
On the contrary, it may make permanent le-
lief more difficult. For, in the past, lean crops
resulting in higher prices always have en-
couraged short-sighted farmers to overplant
the following year and thus drive prices lower
again.
Therefore while dollar wheat is encour-
aging to general business, which is dependent
upon increased farm buying power the need
for the administrations domestic and foreign
crop reduction program is greater now
than ever.

NEW FRONTIER CHALLENGES

ONE of the reasons why America always
~ came out of it's nineteenth century de-
pressions so completely was that it always had
frontier awaiting development.
When Industrial stagnation in the east had
reached certain point, the country could
turn west, roll up its sleeves and proceed to
pull another section of the frontier into the
fold; and before it got through, it discovered
that the depression was gone.
No one needs to be told today that the old
frontier is no more We haven't any vast I'M
developed spaces along the western horizon
any longer none at least that we can use
just now.
But we have new frontier these days, if
we only stop to recognize it, and it can serve
us today precisely as the old western frontier
served us a generation or two ago.
Our new frontier is less tangible than the
old ones, and you won't find it on any map.
1t includes practically all of industry and
nearly all of agriculture.
The pioneers who are attacking it are the
workers, the farmers and the business men of
the United States-their map-still bit rough
anu uncertain, IN SpOCS-lS Lne COmDlneQ IN
dustrial recovery and farm relief program.
1t isn't just figure of speech to say that
all this stands as new frontier
The old, physical frontier represented an
obstacle to be conquered, new paths to be
found, jobs to be filled, daring decisions to be
made-with a new space in which men and
women could establish homes. bring up chill
dren and hunt for happiness as the prize.
This new frontier represents exactly the
same thing.
1t is a challenge, just as the old one was,
to our daring, our ingenuity and our endur-
ance. Beyond it there lies nothing less than
new order Of living, waiting to be exploited.
The possibilities are as unlimited as any
that an early pioneer saw when he climbed
an UNEMPLOYED mountain peak and looked off
to the west.
The present moment is the end of de-
preston, but it also is something more impor-
tant; it is the beginning of new era.
The future can be finer than anything in
our past has been, if we just recognize our new
frontier and tackle it as frontier should be
tackled.

There has been delay in building 1000
needed rural school buildings, and about 1900
rural school districts are falling to make

singular lack of vision on the part of public

SAVE THE SCHOOLS

THE National Education Association just
- has issued report describing the effects
of the depression on the American public
school system. The picture resembles the
wake of cyclone
Returns from forty-two states indicate that
2,269 schools in eleven states were closed be-
fore March l of this year; many of them had
no prospects of reopening this fall; approx
mately 100 city school systems reduced their
terms this year by twenty or more days; many
more rural schools shortened their terms by
thirty or more days.
In 1926 the United States spent s2,O26,-
SoS19O to educate 24,741 1853 children in public
schools. This year it is spending only ST.
s61 100000 to educate 26 ,526, 700 pupils.
Before 1880 We were spending about $780,
100000 annually for school buildings, sites, and
equipment This year We are spending only
$l54ooo,000.
With building virtually suspended, it is esti-
mated that 100000 children are attending
school, on part-time basis and 10000 are

BURNS FOR BEER

THE city of Akron (O) has lifted its anti

claims that the people should be permitted 70

Burns and lockjaw in the glad name of better
times and the foaming mug
At the same time directors of health all
over the country send bulletins that many
powder burns incurred on the Fourth lead to
tetanus and result fatally during the next two,
three or four weeks. Also there are at least
10o-non-fatal injuries for each fatal one and
many of these injuries are so serious as To
disable the victim permanently
Get medical first aid at once, for fireworks
injuries, no matter how trivial Fireworks de-
stroy eyesight, cause lockjaw, mangle fingers

An awful risk to take for little explosive

it strikes us. Our notion is that Ohio mu-
inequalities will stick to their anti-fireworks
ordinances.

The farther this senate investigation goes
into the banking maze, the more apparent is
the need for getting to the bottom Of it.
Counsel Pecora and his staff are doing bril-
liant work, but many weeks of porting over the
bankers books and files will be required to
see this thing through.
Wisely, the senate committee recessed the
Morgan hearing when new angles developed
on which the investigators needed more time
for study. Obviously the sessions planned for
this week, can no more than scratch the sur
face Of Kuhn, Loeb activities.
If the senate committee does not want this
investigation to be merely another Pujo flash
in the pan, it will take time to do a thorough
Job.
Much more is involved than expose of
bankers lack of intelligence and lack of
trustworthiness in handling other peoples
money. The real object of this investigation
is much more fundamental than spectacular.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 90. 1888.
THE STEPHENSON CASE

THE Indiana supreme court has ruled that
n D. c. Stephenson must serve his life term
for murder. There can be no criticism of its
decision when the action is construed narrowly
from strictly legaHstic standpoint.
Yet we believe that the courts ruling is
unfortunate. There is no doubt that Stephen
son was an evil influence in this state He
deserved punishment and he has had it.
There is no need at this late date to review
the tawdry details of the death of Madge
Oberholtzer, for which he was convicted.
Stephenson undoubtedly was guilty of criminal
conduct in connection with that death.
But was he guilty of first degree murderP
The courts unequivocally have said that he
was Technically, perhaps this is correct.
This newspaper was largely responsible for
much Of the evidence against him. Stephen
son now says he has new evidence and the
courts should have allowed him to present it.
With the full knowledge that he was a
thoroughly undesirable character, The Times
wishes to ask few questions about his case:
Would he have been convicted of first de-
gree murder had he not been the grand dragon
of the disreputable Ku-Kux Khan?
Would he have received such harsh treat
ment had his case not been loaded with par
tisan politics?
Did the fact that a number Of persons We're
using Stephensons misconduct as a political
springboard have anything to do with the ex-
treme sentence imposed on him?
The Times opinion of Stephenson is I'M
changed. Yet we must be fair
Justice is bigger than any individual It is
bigger than politics. 1t overshadows any
newspaper campaign. 1t should be passion
less. 1t should deal equally with all classes
tative government.
We believe that justice now is going awry
in the Stephenson case. The man, no matter
how evil he was, is becoming political pris-
oner. Society rightly demanded that he be
punished, even though that punishment re-
suited from one of the strangest murder trials
In the history Of Jurisprudence.
He has been punished Let Governor
McNutt, who is a liberal give this man a
chance to present any new evidence that he
has. Then after the Governor has heard it,
he will be in position to Judge whether exc
cutive clemency should be extended
But Stephenson should not be imprisoned
unheard for the rest of his life If he is, pure
justice in Indiana will have been replaced by
that ugly specter, persecution.

RISING ABOVE POLITICS

DEITY partisanship has no place in unem-
ployment relief work. The children of a
Republican suffer just as acutely when they
are hungry as the family of a Democrat.
Governor McNutt showed, not only common
sense, but high order of craftsmanship in
recognizing this principle by appointing
William Book, dry Republican as the new
state relief boss. Book has made fine record
during the last year as assistant to Fred
Hoke, state unemployment relief chairman
Il gave him the full time job because of
his having done the other job WELL" said the
Governor.
That is real craftsmanship. Governor
McNutt has demonstrated that he is man
enough to rise above the penny pitching
politics of some members of his own party.
Perhaps this is an indication that the state
administration is recovering from its growing
pains. The patronage is about all distributed
Now the Governor and his aids can settle
down and give the state the kind of govern
ment it deserves.
1t may be that Indiana's chief executive
now will follow the same high-minded policy
in regard to the schools and the state library
Whether he does or not, there can be little
doubt that Mr. Book will have one of the most
difficult and important tasks in Indiana dur
ing the coming months. He deserves the CO.
operation of all good citizens.

A letter in your message column
Saturday gave another brilliant 90
suggestion for getting out of the
chaotic condition of industry. The
writer suggests that all wages be
cut to Is cents an hour. He says
pay two men Is cents an hour in
stead of one getting so cents. BY
this means he would produce twice
as much with the same labor cost,
giving the whole product to the
owners of the machines, who al
ready have surplus goods piled up
that they can not sell.
He says put everybody to work at
$12 week. With the hundredfold
output of machinery over human
hands, with everybody working
there would be more produced than
the whole world could use and the
workers would be unable to buy it.
The whole trouble is that the
workers have received too little for
producing too much. With each
worker producing $40 worth and
getting but 81 there must be a sur
plus of both wealth and poverty.
Wages always have been adjusted
to conform to the bare cost of
living, when they should have been
advanced to conform to the greater

A SECURITIES MONOPOLY

IRON the admissions of Otto Kahn to the
senate investigating committee Tuesday it
appears that the monopoly in the vast banking
field of railway securities is even more
absolute than the public realized. Reports of
the interstate commerce commission have
shown that the railway security business is
dominated by two private banks, Morgan and
Kahn's House of Kuhn Loeb.
But Kahns testimony shows that not even
these two are competitors in any real sense.
He explained that the big bankers do not
bid against each other in this field, but each
keeps hands of the customer of another bank
This seems an ideal set-up to Mr.. Kahn.
Why shouldn't it?
which few big bankers divide up the bust
ness without competition is profitable to the
railroads, Kahn cited the 1928 Southern Pa
cihc case. in which Kuhn, Loeb, in an inde-
petitive bids for that issue. That was not a
typical transaction and even in that case
Kuhn, Loeb paid less than the price which
the Southern Pacific received year earlier
from competitive bids.
l. c. C. reports indicate that in the period
ie25-l93l the so-called spread, or bankers
gross profit, on railway equipment trust GER
tihcates was cut rs to 80 per cent by the COM
petitive bidding method. In the same period
the bankers profit from railway bond issues
