A FTER all, babies aren't born
n murderers. It takes many a
hard knock to make little boys
grow up into men who take up
arms against their kind and lust
for human blood.
Good and evil are so closely in
terwoven in the fabric Of human
nature that it is scarcely possible
to separate them, and assuredly
we must all believe that one may
be developed to overcome the
other. The fate of a man may
often turn upon pin-point of
chance.
The ardors we show in behalf
of the virtuous are commendable.
Social welfare does, to be sure,
depend upon decency, justice and
morality. And it is for this very
reason I have an idea our muir
ders would be fewer if some Of
our ardor could be used in pro-
tecting our bad citizens from sew
eral very obvious kinds Of wrong
inflicted upon them by those
whom we call good.
It requires several stages Of
lawlessness to develop cold
blooded murderer. He never
springs. fully armed with ma
chine guns, from any truly good
and virtuous society.

FEAR, THE DRAWBACK

WHEN he was inaugurated. President
w Roosevelt remarked that the only thing
We had to Be afraid of was fear itself.
Sometimes one is forced to wonder if that
isn't pretty largely true. also. in our rela-
tons with Japan.
Those relations are rather delicate Just
now; have been, in fact, for several years.
Both sides have grown nervous thinking of
the war into which they may stumble if they
aren't careful. And there is reason TO sus-
pect that it is this nervous fear of war which
is precisely the greatest danger.
The other day five japanese were diScov-
cred taking photographs in the vicinity Of
shipyard in New Jersey. Two cruisers are
being built for the United States navy in
that Shipyard, so the Japanese Immediately
were pinched as spies.
An investigation. however. showed that
they merely had been seeing the sights The
negatives in their cameras contained moth
ing more damaging than views of the New
York skyline.
The Toxic press. quite naturally. got sar-
castle about all this. One paper regretted
ironically that Japan has no planes that
could fly all the way from Toxic to New York
to drop bombs Others commented on Amer
ica's nervousness. regretting that America was
in a frame Of mind to get alarmed over an
unimportant and harmless incident.
Now the interesting thing about this Of
course. is the fact that exactly the same thing
has been happening in Toxic. American
werld niers have been arrested in Japan be-

rentals in this city are, or were,
bought on contract or mortgage
payments, a fact which the average
tenant can not seem to compre-
bend.
Let us suppose that "Fairplay's''
landlord bought his property six or
seven years ago for $4,000, which
would be a conservative figure, and
still has a mortgage of - $4,000
against it; his payments would be
$40 a month, half Of which would
represent interest.
'Fairplay" does not say if the
rental price, the water bill and the
garage are included. If so, the
actual rental would be less than $40
month. In addition, the landlord
must carry fire and tornado insur-
ance, assessments for improvements
almost anywhere in the city, as well
as the taxes. Therefore, where can
profit or even any kind Of an in
come, be figured for the landlord?
This is the reason for the squawks
of property owners about high taxes,

GOLD! GOLD! GOLD!
SEEK THE GOLD!
By w. H. Bremen.

By w. H. Bremen.
The gold excitement causes the
people to think; and, if we look back
to the Bible story where a king had
sixty or seventy-foot high statue
built of gold, it causes the thought
it still may be there.
Since gold was used only as ma
terial to build the statue, it is as
easy to believe it would no more be
saved or cut up than the walls, roof
or any part of the kings palace.
The world gold is figured close
enough to almost be proof that none
of the gold in the statue has yet
been accounted for.
Much work is being done by COL
leges and universities in excavations
to find old cities. Much money goes
to locate a sunken ship and dive
for the gold it carried down with it,
and at times a million or so in gold
is all the ship had on board.
Since excavating is being done to
locate old cities, search for this
particular city could be made and
perhaps the city and the gold To-
Gated. If they could, it would save
the world as far as gold needs go.
Colleges and universities are re-
quested to go into this, and while
they excavate, it should not be used
against trying to locate this city
and the gold, because of the billions
it would yield, almost equal to world
gold Of today.
Research is made to prove history
is correct. AS given in the Bible,
this story is plainly outlined. This
search is the same >as others. only
richer in gold, if found, and will be,
perhaps.

BOYCOTT OF POWER
COMPANY URGED

BY Consumer.
After reading the many dis
closures of the recent investigation
into the activities of the local utili-
ties companies, without exception,
+ think it would be a wonderful
thing for every one concerned, if
the consumers of these services
would equip themselves with coal
Oil lamps, dig community wells and
use one of the many artificial gases
in use in the homes of the urban
populace.
A general boycott of that sort
probably would bring the utilities to
some realization that the public can
not and will not stand to be mulcted
out of their monies forever.

FOUND: A SUPPORTER
FOR MIR. MORGAN

By o. F. Gray.
A few days ago I noticed picture
of Morgan Packing Company plant
in your paper. The writer of this
letter never met Mr.. Morgan, never
bought a package of his products.
But from now on I intend to buy
Morgan's goods.
And, if I can find a store that
does not display the blue eagle, I
will patronize it. I believe there are
enough justice-loving people who
will consume his goods by buying
direct.
I will buy ten cases and give to
hungry Republicans who can't get
work from the CWA.

A UTILITY PROBE
THAT'S THE DEMAND

BY Joseph E. Bennett
1t is inconceivable WHY" our
city and state officials will allow
the public utility companies of IN
diana to rob the citizens of indiana,
unless they are so closely connected
with them. Perhaps if they would
compel them to obey the Jaw, as
in the case of added charges and
excessive charges, they would in
jure themselves. 1t would be
great benefit to all, if the civic or
CARNATIONS of the cities and the
state would put men to work to
ferret out and see how many, if
any, Of the stockholders IN the pub
lie utility companies hold positions
either in the city or state govern
ment.
I think we would readily see the
reason the public utility companies
have the privilege to violate the
law at their own option.
I think it would be money well
spent for the good of the public,
and 1 think that there is not per-
son in the state free to act on his
own free will who would not spon-
sor the above suggestion.

THE COURTHOUSE
HIS PET PEEVE

By Reader.
If an old man lives in your neigh
borhood, go to his house sometime
after midnight and wake him out
Of sound sleep. When he comes
to the door, pull him, nightsown
and all, out into the cold and tell
him you're trying to sell a carload
Of broken beer bottles or bushel CT
splattered tomatoes then watch
the expression on his face.
You get the same vinegar fiz
when you ask questions at the
courthouse-only sourer,

columns, combed the first-person

sage Center, took our police force
to task for discourtesy.

stop is the mausoleum. You're next,

INSURANCE COMPANIES
MADE THE TARGET

By G. L.
The restriction placed by the la
bility insurance companies upon the
employers not to re-employ men
over As years old, by reason of high
rates of premiums, is evidently a
racket to be investigated and regu-
lated by authorities to help the
cause Of the NRA.
The insurance, intended for the
protection Of the employer and the
employe, is abused by the in
surers. In the event of an injury

drops out of the picture.
The contest is between the in

advantage is with the employe who

Highly trained adjusters aim to

PWA LOAN

The District Commissioners have
before them today the problem Of
drawing up a formal application
for the $s,Ooo,0oO PWA loan which
has already been allocated to the
District of Columbia by Secretary
Ickes.
The contract between the Dis
trict Of Columbia and the PWA
has been drawn, it is understood,
and the PWA scale of wages is to
prevail on the construction of the
new sewage disposal plant for
which the money is to be granted.
Although Secretary Ickes took
the position that he would have
to guard the Federal Treasury
against nonpayment by the Ma
tional Capital, the law specifies
just how the money is to be re.
paid.
Under this law the District of
Columbia is required to set aside
10 cents of every tax dollar col.
lected to repay its share of the
loan, which is 70 per cent, the
Federal Government repaying 80
per cent.

ARTIST PAIN is
OCEAN FLOOR

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-One
month ago Chris E. Olsen, whose
speciality is painting while seated
on the ocean floor in bathing
suit and diving helmet, received
an order from an anonymous St.
Louis sportsman for a set Of
undersea murals.
The Missourian's idea was that
it would add a cool note to the
decorative scheme of his game
room and provide a realistic back
ground whereon to hang his fish
ing trophies.
Recently Mr.. Olsen completed
the last fin on the last angel fish
and heaved the sigh of an artist
who has just signed his name.
Painting in his studio at West
Nyack, N. Y, with the authorita-
tive recollection of 18 years OF
undersea brush-wielding, Mr.. Oh.
sen covered 408 square feet Of
canvas with sea anemones, jelly
fish, slippery dicks and coral and
cup sponges, all shimmering
mistily in a cloudy pearl blue.
The painting is not merely
decorative but highly accurate, for
Mr.. Olsen'S calling was dictated
by the needs of the American
Museum of Natural History,
(where he holds the title of "pre-
parator" in the department Of liv
ing vertebrates. Much of his
previous work hangs in the mu-
scum now, forming backgrounds
for stuffed barracudas and spec
linens of coral formations. He
said:
$50 far as I know this is the
first submarine mural ever
painted for q purely artistic
purpose. I only wish / knew
who was getting it."
He explained that the commits
sion had come from New York
interior decorator who withheld
the name Of the purchaser for
reasons best known to himself

feet in length by six in height,

T-HOUSE DEATH
CASE GIVEN
To JURY

Twelve men, eight Of whom are
farmers, today considered wheth-
er Joseph D'AleSsandro and Sam
uel j. Orlando are guilty Of first
degree murder in connection with
the Staying Of Grover Amick in
the Bladensburg tea house shoot
ing in 1881.
The Prince Georges county
circuit court jury was given the
case after extensive arguments by
Frank Hall, special counsel, with
States Attorney Alan Bowie and
Defense Counsel j. Wilson Ryon
and Charles Ford.
Paves Way for Appeal
Mr.. Ryon paved the way for an
appeal to the Maryland Court Of
Appeals when he was refused his
motion to strike out the testi-
mony of John Wallace, who is
now serving a term in Baltimore
Penitentiary for his part in the
Staying.
The motion was made on the
theory that If the pair were con-
victed, the damaging evidence
would come from an accomplice,
which under Maryland law is
not sufficient, it was claimed.
The prosecution, through the
objections Of Mr.. Ryon, was de-
MED the right to use testimony
by two Philadelphia detectives in
an attack on the defendants
alibi. The defendants had claimed
that on the night of the shoot
ing one of them was working
in a bakery and the other was
at birthday party.
Makes Flat Denial
Orlando on the stand early
today denied knowing Wallace
or any other member of the small
town gang and said he had never
been in Baltimore or Bladens-
burg or that he had ever handled

were used in the shooting and

that he had been promised aid
in having his 18-year sentence to

ened if he would turn States
evidence.
Before a crowded Circuit Court
defense and prosecution witnesses
flatly contradicted each other on
details of the planning and execu"
ton of the robbery and on identifi-
cation by witnesses, while the de-
fense sought to establish an alibi.
