THOSE lengthy English novels
u which follow a family's for
tunes, and make a whole clan in
stead of just an individual the hero,
sometimes are rather tiresome, but
they are at least substantial and
meaty.
If you have the endurance to get
through them, they give you q. sense
of the continuity of life in an old
society, which American novels sell
dom convey.
A fair example of this kind of
book is "Bredon and Sons" by Neil
Bell.
This novel tells about the Bredon
family, boat-builders, who have
fourished in the little east-coast
English town of Senwich for up
wards of two centuries, honest
craftsmen who build good boats.
prosper moderately, and prize the
fanlily'S reputation for HONESTY and
fine workmanship above all other
things.
The story covers century in the
familys history. We get acquainted
with the successive heads of the
family-solid, thinking, rather
obstinate men. slow to change, I'M
yielding in their family pride-and
we see how changing times inexor-
ably change the very nature of the
family.
The business falls of, killed by the
rose of the mechanical era. Adapta-
ton becomes necessary for a family
that never has had to adapt itself
to change.
The boat-builders branch out; one
wing presently is building airplanes,
the other goes farther afield and
axes to manufacturing raincoats.
And while this brings greater
riches than the Bredons ever had
before. the old virtues slowly vanish.
The stock thirs out.
Grown wealthy, the Bredons new
ertheless lose their old moorings. At
the end we see the family dying, its
final generation fumbling ineffec-
lively to meet the challenge Of mod
ern life.
Published by Little, Brown & Co.,
the book is prised at $3.50.

OMAN BEHIND
CHURCH STAND
ON R. 0. 7. c.
Preparedness Leads to War,
Declares University
President.

DR.. G. Bromley Oman, De Paw
university president. was instru-
mental in the Methodist Episcopal
church's adoption of a resolution
attacking military training in
colleges. it was revealed to The
Times today. II was this resolution
to which DR.. Oman persistently
has referred as a reason for abolish
ing the r. o. I. c. corps on the
De Paw campus.
The university board of trustees
recently voted TO request the war
department to withdraw the unfit
after a heated battle between DR..
Oman and influential alumni
which has waged for several years.
The proclamation drawn up by
the world peace commission of the
church reads: Compulsory mill
tary training perpetuates the ideals
and methods of the battlefield in
many a school and college. The
sundry fears and hatred of citizens
are being capitalized by professional
pessimists in the name of patriot
ism"
Stand Taken in 1928
DR.. Oman was secretary of the
commission and his stand against
militaristic activities have en-
HANGED his popularity greatly in the
church, it was learned.
Military preparedness is pre-
paredness for war" DR. Oman de-
clared before the De Paw faculty
Nov. 6, 1923. while affirming
hatred for war, the advocates of
military preparedness creates a
mind-Set that assumes its inevita-
bility.
L am opposed to compulsory
military training upon patriotic
grounds. To compel the college men
of America to take military train
ing approaches dangerously near to
class legislation"
This stand was taken by DR.. OK
nam at a time when the attitude
was more popular than it is now,
as war clouds hover over Europe
and as the United States admins
tratiOn favors a preparedness pro-
gram in light of European mass
military education.
Accused of Sabotage
Since then, DR.. OMAN has been
comparatively silent on the queS-
ton of preparedness. it was learned,
and has stressed an international
peace view. This turn was in
terpreted by observers as neceSSi-
tated by the ire of influential
alumni. Although DR.. Oman has
pointed out the horrors of war, he,
himself, was not in service.
Compulsory military training at
De Pauw was banned in 1928 by
an arbitrary edict of the university.
He continued his drive against the
unit and this summer was accused
by General George Van Horn Nose
". then fifth corps area COM
mander, of "sabOtaging" the mill
tary training course.

NEW HOMES FOR OLD

The Housing Bill over the passage of which
Congress was forced to remain in Washington sew
eral days longer than DESIRED will mean great
deal to the residents of this valley as we'll as to
the nation as whole.
Under the terms of this act, money will be
pledged by the federal government to building
and loan institutions for the improvement and re-
pair of private homes. Money will also be avail
able for the construction of new residences, to- be
loaned at very liberal terms.
We are told by experts that America has always
arisen from DEPRESSION or panic, periods, on the
wave Of building BOOM No other industry fur
nlshes the momentum for a complete business re-
vival as does the building industry. This is due to
the fact that money spent in building homes be-
comes permanent investment rather than an
expenditure the benefits of which are soon dis
slpated With approximately 100000 men di-
recty dependent upon the building industry, and
another 100000 or so indirectly dependent upon
it, revival of obstruction which is bound to come
about once this money is available, will restore
employment and increase buying power.
Not only in the Cities with their sl,m condi-
tons, but in the rural areas, is there great need
for modernization of homes recent survey of
the farm homes in this states shows that sur
prsingly large percentage are practically unin-
habitable. With the means for Improvement or
construction Of new homes made available by the
federal administration, it should be expected that
living conditions will be bettered in the near fu-
tllre.

WEEKLY
Hort. Test
BY
DIR. E. L. OVERHOLSER, Head
OF Horticulture Department, Wash
ingtOn State College
Discussion of Last Weeks True Falls,
Horticultural Statements

Statement l. False. The truth is that
most Of our heshy deciduous fruits are
dependent upon insects, primarily bees
to carry the pollen from one flower
to another or to pistils of the same
flower In the case Of a self-fertile var
iery. The flowers Of our apples and
pears are snowy and have nectar and
fragrance to attract insects. Further
more, the pollen may be somewhat
sticky and relatively heavy and hence
Is not easily waited by the wind.
Statement 2. False. The truth Is wind
Is the important pollen transmission
agency In the case of walnuts, pecans,
and chestnuts. The flowers of such
nuts are unattractive or inconspicuous
and without nectar or fragrance The
pistils of the flowers are long and
feathery and adapted to catch pollen
floating in the air. The pollen is pro-
duced In very great abundance, is light,
and dry. and capable of being carried
considerable distance by the wind. The
presence of such wind carried pollen
in the air may be the cause of hay
fever of susceptible individuals
Statement 3. True. The flowers of
most varieties of peaches, apricots,
nectarines, gooseberries, currants, black
berries and raspberries are largely self
fertile, and do not generally require

CONGRESS ADJOURNs

When the news is flashed that Congress has
adjourned" something akin to that relief that
every school child feels when the shout goes up
that school is OUT, is felt by everyone There is
always while Congress is in session, day-to- day
tension as to just what is going to happen next.
Just when things are going smoothly and it APP
pears that some BILL the passage of which is eagerly
awaited by the people, is nearing the final stage,
a personally disgrunted legislator will stage
one-man flibuster, changing the entire aspect of
the situation; or group of men, sensing an OPP
portunlty to gain few votes from some organized
group will slip over an act unwanted by the gen
eral public
The election Of congressman and Senators is
much like lottery. You may vote for a man whom
you believe will enact the type of legislation you
desire only to find, when he reaches Washington,
so many miles from home and so far from the
voice Of the people, that he has forgotten the ideals
for which you elected him, and is angling for more
votes rather than thinking of constructive legisla-
ton
Though Congress is great institution, amusing
as three-rlng circus at times, and the bulwark
of the constitution at all times, those of us back
home always feel sense of relief at adjournment
knowing that our laws will remain as they are for
few more MONTHS and that we can have a per-
sonal talk with the men sent back there to tell
them what we think of their actions.

SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF

Nothing within the past few years has attracted
such attention to this valley as has the White
Bluffs Band. Their recent success at Spokane,
where they declared the second-best band
in the Inland Empire came no great surprise
to the boosters Of the band back home.
Since their organization several years ago, r.
A. English their leader, and all others connected
with the group, have worked tirelessy, and their
efforts have been rewarded. At Wenatchee, Pros
SER Sumyside, Yakima, Kennewick and other
towns, their music and marches have won acclaim.
They say that "a prophet is not without honor
save in his own land'', yet this proverb does not
apply in this case, for residents of the valley
proud Of their band and are as ready to do them
honor as the larger cities in which they appear
so often. TO the leaders and to the boys of the
band, we acknowledge debt of gratitude.
