is not conclusive on this point

rigid interpretations.

Gentlemen of the Press

A ND, speaking of newspapers,
"A my attention has been called
sharply to the fact that the MEM
bers of the craft are sometimes de-
fcient in a sense of humor. I was
in Washington last week as a men,
Der of news writer's delegation,
and it seemed to me not uniting
under the circumstances that We
might hold a press conference. I
offered this intention to a man
aging editor as a possible subject
for a brief news story. Indeed, T
suggested that the caption might
read, "The reporters will be de-
lighted to meet the gentlemen of
the press"
Make it, "The gentlemen Of the
press will be glad to meet the re-
porters,' he countered. II think it's
more amusing that way"
And so it was written according
to the editorial suggestion. Neither
of us thought of the little wheeze
as a WOW, but it was intended to be
a mild joke. Unfortunately,
twenty or thirty newspaper men
showed up all violently indignant
because Of their impression that
they were being high-hatted by their
confreres from the metropolis.
Indeed, they carried their indigna-
ton to such lengths that one or two
went back and reported to their
bosses outlandish incidents which
never happened. One rowing Journal
list who came early and stayed far
into the night setting up round
after round of etherized advice had
the effrontery to announce the fol-
lowing day that the moment he ap-
peared at the newspaper conference
he was thrown out on his ear.
Although the young man failed
signally in his function as a factual
observer, I believe that when we
meet again he will find himself a
frst-class prophet.
II
Directly and to the Point
A ND, speaking of high-hat at
N titudeS, I wish that every ed
itor, reporter and columnist had
been present at the Washington
hearing on the code. After lis
tening to the testimony of many
men engaged in many branches of
newspaper work I think they hardly
could avoid the impression that
when it comes to stating a case the
printers and the presSmen can give
cards, spades and a few hearts to
those journalists who at times may
have felt that the gift Of expression
was a commodity exclusively in
trusted to their own care.

/ would be more than glad to
finance a round-the-wOrld flight for
Governor McNutt and his associates,
providing they would promise never
to return.
AS a Governor, I think he is a
washout. He now has another
bright idea, that is, installing a
multigraph department at the state
house, so that he can give work to
some numbskull political friends of
his who haven't brains enough to
secure a situation for themselves.
Their wages will be about $40 a
week and while they r learning
to run the multigraph, they will
spoil enough paper stock to pay
their salary. And if the work is too
complicated for this department, he
will let the convicts take a crack at
it. After the convicts tear up this
costly equipment several times, they
will turn the finished product over
to some student or an official who
will rack his or her brain and
strain their eyes trying to decipher
this strange" piece of printing.
All other work which is too COM
plicated for the state house or con
victs will probably be let to the
Donnelly printing concern in Chi
cago or some of his Indianapolis
associates.
BY doing this, a number of print
ers who are making a fair and hon
est living and probably paying
enough taxes pay for the states
printing will be thrown out of work.
We have one consolation and that
is-he can't do it always.

The controversy between Major

light again a fight which is being

General Mosely is the representa-

President OMAN champions the
cause of that great international

TEST NEUTRALITY

THE doctrine of neutrality, observes New
limited usefulness in preserving peace. and
in the World war it was disastrous and finally
impossible.
Since the foreign correspondents and all
Of the war experts assure US Of our involv-
ment in another World war, next month or
the month after, or as soon as Hitler builds
another super-cruiser, or some high job
holder in the little Balkans gets punctured
by some political idiot from abroad, why not
make a serious test of the doctrine of United
States neutrality, even warning Europe of our
intention before the international shooting
begins?
We have tried kindly diplomacy and f1nan-
cial and moral helpfulness. Our pactS, con-
ference and even formal treaties fail and a
World war is about to knock on our door, it
seems. Thorough friendliness toward our
foreign brothers is the right thing and
blessed is the peace maker; but, there are
occasions when peace can only be restored or
maintained with a club.
If Europe wants to have another World
war, why not let her have it all to herself,
by temporarily inhibiting all American deal
i~ngs-fnancial, political and mercantile
with the fighting nations? And let our war
profiteers howl! The cost of suspending all
of our trade with the whole world during the
period of that next foreign war would not
be a drop in the bucket compared to what
our part in another World war would cost
us, as We have certainly learned through ex-
p~erience; for, that war will be unusually
brief, SO great has been civilizations prog
ress in the matter of improved methods for
human slaughter and so unlikely the pros
poets of wheeling war money out of us.

GAS STATIONS
FOR AIRLINES
NEW SERVICE

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. U.P)-With
the formal opening, at Hicksville,
L. I. of the worlds first roadside
airplane filling station, Captain Al
ford j. Williams, Jr, former navy
speed flyer and now directing avia-
ton for an oil company has inaug-
urated new type of service-to-
flyers. Likewise, this departure
from dependence on airports for
service comes as a boon to aviation
unemployed For, these service and
filling stations are to be manned
by unemployed @irplane mechanics
and riggers.
Within a few months Captain
Williams expects TO have existing
national airways dotted with these
roadside service stations, where
the touring flyer can drop in for
refueling and minor repairs. He
can read prices set in six foot nu-
merals, thereby shopping as he
flys. Best of all, before very long
one of these SO acre plots always
will be in easy reach of those for
getful ones who fail to look at the
gas before they start on journey.
Captain Williams stated that this
new idea came to him when job
less mechanic asked for work OF
any sort. The man, Elton Babcock,
former machinist mate first class,
had been a member in Captain Will
liams racing crew during the speed
trials in the navy.

week from Washington, D. c., re-
lative to the federal wheat pro-
gram, Lee Landerman, assistant
farm advisor stated this morning
and until this information is re-
ceived future meetings OF valley
wheat growers will be held up.
The contracts which are to be
signed by those growers who wish
to take part in this program have
not been received, Landerman said,
adding that the local extension
service will postpone educational
meetings in the valley until all nee
essary information from the gov
eminent in on hand.
There will be regional confer
ence of farm advisors and assist
ants in l.. A., Aug. 16 at which the
latest developments in the wheat
reduction plan will be discussed.
Other than an announcement from
Henry Wallace, secretary of agri-
culture, that allotments will be
made on 81 per cent of production
for the base period of 1902, and
that payments will be made on this
Sd per cent basis and that there
will be an acreage reduction of 10
per cent for the year 1884, no
further news regarding the program
has been received by the local
office. according to Landerman.

GOODYEAR To
BUILD PLANT.

Evidence of faith in continued

announcement by The GOODYEAR
Tire q Rubber company that con-
struction of a half million dollar
addition to its power plant will be-
gin in the near future. The pro-
ject represents the first important
construction in Akron for almost
three years.
A new large size boiler will cost
$250,000, while turbo-generating
unit will cost approximately $780,
900. In addition to expenditure for
new equipment, Goodyear will erect
a new building in which it will be
housed, providing additional labor
for Akron workers.
Goodyear has heaved to in
times of great stress and again
hoisted full sail as succeeding &C.
onomic cycles went through their
various intricate phases,D p. w.

declared in announcing the new
project. For more than a third
of century Goodyear has proceed
ed forward at comparatively
steady pace. improving its physical
facilities and its products. and en-
couraging and developing its per-
sonnet.
''Of particular significance to me
is the job We are about to under
take in the erection of a new power
plant since 1t involves an expendi-
ture of more than a half million
dollars and represents the first
construction project our
city has witnessed in almost three
years. We expect to have the new
plant completed and equipped by
next November, whereupon it will
fit into the big Goodyear picture
as another part of our charted
course of institutional sufficiency.
Much of the cost of the new plant
goes for equipment but insofar as
we can, the various contracts will
be let to Akron concerns so that
our employment problem may be
relieved by just that much" he

POST OFFICE
GETTING old

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. U.P) -
The largest business in the world
under one management-the post
office department - celebrated its
l5eth birthday last month.
One of the first questions to come
before the Continental congress, IL
September, 1774, was the conveying
of the mails. Benjamin Franklin,
who had been head Of the Colonial
post office under the British
Crown, was appointed to investigate
the subject. Franklin made re-
port providing for the appointment
of a postmaster general of the IL
colonies and his report was adopt
ed. On July 26, ITS, Franklin was
named postmaster general. He
served for little more than year,
however, being succeeded in No
yember, l776, by his son-in-law,
Richard Bache.
While Franklin was postmaster of
the British colonies ne trenked his
letters "Free. B. Franklin" After
he became postmaster general OF
the new republic ne cnangeo IL 10
"B. Free. Franklin"
The first line Of post was estab-
hshed from Massachusetts TO
Georgia, with many cross posts.
Postmasters were selected in the
various communities.
There is practically no record OF
postal history for the first 60 years
because Of The great fire OF 1885
which destroyed the post office
building at Washington. The one
volume saved is a ledger OF postal
revenue for the years l776, TIT
and l776
Until 1860 all communication be-
tween the east and the far west
vas by sea, wagon train or coach.
The sea mail route was by way OF
The Istnmus of Panama.
On April 8, 1860, the famous pony
express was established between
st. Joseph, 40, and San Francisco
The scheduled time for the trip was
eight days each way.
The evolution of the postal sys-
TEN has reached the point now
where every conceivable type OF
transportation is used
