FLOYD'S FUNERAL

A dispatch from Sallisaw, Okla, tells of flu
neral cortege 10 miles in length composed of mo-
tor cars from 20 states that brought 10000 per-
sons to witness the burial of Charles pretty Bow
Floyd, public enemy No. l, before he got into the
line of fire of government officials near the town
of Wellsvile. o., last week
The curious host that visited the little cemetery
at Salisaw was blind to everything except the open
grave, the coffin containing the body of the dead
outlaw and the dry-eyed relations of the dead. 1t
broke the fences, walked over the graves of re-
spectacle dead leveled tombstones, crushed shrub
berry and flowers and left the cemetery looking
as though it had been struck by an Arkansas
cyclone.
And all that in a country of culture, of schools
and churches, of printing presses and publishing
houses of imagined respect for the living and rev.
erence for the dead! The heartess carelessness of
this mob at Sallisaw was less brutal but not more
excusable than the crimes of the dead bandit that
appealed to its sordid nature.-The Spartanburg
Herald.

off at this tangent and at that.
They come to ridiculous conclu-
sions and absurd determination
and believe that the little they
know is all there is to know.
When the old man mentioned in
the beginning of this article, said
that he had rather know some
thing than be educated, he meant
that he had rather have common
sense, plain every day horse sense,
than book learning only.
Books are extremely valuable
some books. Books also are extre-
mely harmful-some books. Books,
too, are entirely useIess-some
books.
Virtually everything that hu-
man beings have found out or
think they have found out is con-
tanned in books. Yet we can
study books and know nothing.
We can study books and know
things not true, or that we should
not know. And we can study
books and fill our heads with valu-
able ideas and our souls with
priceless ideals.
To study valuable ideas and not
make them ours is of little con-
sequence. To study priceless ideals
and not make them ours is of
slight Importance. There are men
who can quote long passages of
the PHILOSOPHERS and of the reli-
gious and who can make lengthy
addresses on the high life, and can
deliver prayers without end, yet
whose souls are as dark as mid
night and whose minds have no
grasp of what life really means.
Common sense is a fine thing
to have. Without it education is
not so god. But common sense
mixed with spiritual wisdom,
knowledge and understanding, is
wonderful combination. On such
a foundation as that, education
makes a wonderful showing. 1t

WASHINGTON - Roosevelt has
~ been wishing that General
Johnson was twins.
He could use the other one to
lramatize the second big public
works program, now planned as a
live to seven billion dollar effort to
decimate relief rolls and speed
business recovery.
The president and his adyiserE
agree they need someone with
Johnson's evangelical fire. They're
talking of stirring up revival Of
wartime patriotic enthusiasm"
Once they had the general very
much in mind for this big new job.
Then he made a fuss about quit
ting MIRA, got to fighting with the
other New Deal leaders, Infatuated
labor, and talked himself into tte
wings.
Harry Hopkins is the favorite
candidate now. But it isn't set
tied that any one person is going
to be named as boss of the program
or as chief ballyhoo man. The big
spending effort on housing, grade
crossing work, rural Identification,
subsistence homesteads, and other
improvements may be divided into
separate sections under the general
supervision of Donald Richberg.
TN most unofficial discussions of
the new program, someone re-
calls the visit here last spring of
John Maynard Keynes, the Brit
ish economist. Keynes preached
TO Roosevelt and other New Deal
ers the doctrine of spending our
way out of the depression. One
of those he impressed was Hop
kins. II
Or course the flea of a really
big public works program had
been advanced here long before

Investment Bankers End
Convention; More Opti-
mism Is Apparent

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, Nov. 1. (UP)-The ma
TONS Investment Bankers yester-
day offered their full assistance to-
the Roosevelt administration in
working out steps to promote a
normal flow of hundreds of mil
lions of investment money into in
dustry.
Shortly before adjournment of
the IBA's annual convention here
Ralph T. CRANE, newly-elected
president, said he would appoint
committee to confer with fed
eral officials.
At the same time the associa-
ton, through Crnae, pledged its
full cooperation with administra-
ton recovery agencies.
"The Investment Markers Asso-
ciation," Crane said, ALREADY has,
and is ready to cooperate with the
administration in reopening the
capital market. A trickle of in
vestment money is coming in and
there are more investment funds
available now than at any other
time"
The 1BA's pledge of support
was similar to that taken last
week in Washington by the Amer
lean Bankers Association.
The convention closed in an at

was apparent last year. There

of our worst criminals are well

that information to do mischief.
The smaller that mans scope of
action, the better.
Education without wis d m,
knowledge, understanding is not

Anyhow as the old man said, it
is better to know something than
to be educated. But why not both?
Why not well-rounded develop

u. S. AVIATION SCORES BRILLIANT
TRIUMPH
(By BRUCE CATION

i'. The famous air race from England to
"a. Australia was won by two Englishmen,
Scott and Black, in an English-made plane
but an examination of London newspapers
demonstrates that the race was neverthe-
less triumph for the American aircraft
industry.
For if the Englishmen won, second and
third places were taken by American ships
"a Douglas airliner piloted by a Dutch
crew, and Boeing cruiser flown by Col.
Roscoe Turner and Clyde Pangborn.
And the point that has impressed COM
mentators in London is this: Whereas the
winning British ship was a sleek, stream
lined racing plane, constructed for, speed
---arrd for speed alone, the Douglas and Boe-
ing planes were regular transport ships,
precisely like those now in service on the
American commercial airlines.
= The Douglas plane, as a matter of fact,
carried nine persons on the long jaunt. If
=. fthad been stripped down to fighting trim,
=. relieved of all unnecessary weight, and
Stocked with extra fuel instead of passen-
gers, it might well have taken first place.
A4nSo the race has brought little pride to
the British aviation industry
&'AEThe London Evening News says of the
Douglas plans performance: :
1T gives irrefutable, tragic proof that
we are miles behind other countries in
commercial air transport. The race was an
ordinary trip for the Douglas. The eff
cheney of American engines and aircraft
IS such that at no point did it have to stay
long on the ground ."
-"- "Only one Royal Air Force fighting
plane is as fast as this flying train Com
parison with our civil aircraft is too de-
grading" s. a..
Nor is this the only testimonial to Ameri-
can planes. Dutch authorities were so
pleased by the Douglas planes perform
ance that they promptly ordered ten more
like it, for service on the 9OO0-mile route
- from Holland to the Dutch East Indies.
-~. All this is pretty clear indication that
., in the field of commercial aviation we have
perfect right to indulge in a good deal
:. of old-fashioned American pride
1t also suggests that one way to regain
our lost foreign trade may be to follow
aviatiOn's lead-make an article so much
tiaibetter than all competitors that customers
can't resist it. ....,

RICE TO RACE AT SAGE PARK AUTO
 COMPETITION

"Dynamite'' is what Johnny Buttas terms George Rice of Mil ford, Connecticut, one of the latest of the thirty pilots who'll strive for the big purses hung up for the opening meet at Sage Park Speed way, Windsor, Connecticut on Sun day afternoon, August 18th. And Buttas should know what he is talking about as he has been rac- ing at the same tracks with Rice.
 According to Buttas, the Milford flash, who is making his first showing at Sage park is real con- tender for first place in the New England championship standing and Buttas looks to Rice to give him some real competition Sun day.
 Rice has been driving Johnny Hale's car since he cracked up his own by going through fence. Last Sunday at the Huntington Speed way meet, Rice won the final race beating Al Jepson, winner of IT out of IS races. Rice's win over Jepson was the big surprise of the racing fans in this section and they look for big things from Rice Sunday.
 Rice will have following of many thousands from all parts of Connecticut even in the fast field he will race against. Rice will have the car and the confidence and the ability. Three salient prerequisites for a winner on the automobile track.

CHERRY PARK AUTO
 MEET ON SUNDAY

Some of the most famous racing car drivers in the east will be en- tered in the events at Cherry Park Sunday when the Seaboard Racing association stages the second of it's series of programs. The first, held July 4. drew a gala crowd consid- ering the holiday and this weeks audience is expected to be even larger.
 With the granting of an A. R. A. franchise to the Seaboard outfit, only the best of the drivers in the east will be allowed to be signed by the Cherry park group. thus assuring fans of some red-hot con- petition.
 John Cebula of New York, one of the first to sign for Sundays meet, was the national A. R. 4. champion in 1888. He has set track records at Deer Park, Ho- boken. N. J., Cross Bay Speedway, Quaker Town, Pa, and Wilmington, Del. He drives a Hisso special and before entering the racing game was cop up in New York state. Bill Holmes of Yonkers is another daredevil slated for ac- tion. He is the leading competi- tor in the A. R. A. this year. Bill has appeared at Cherry Park be- fore and has large following in Connecticut.
 Al Jepson, who was here July 4, may also be entered again. Al thrilled the crowd on the fourth" and was. heavy winner.
 The Cherry park meet Sunday is the only one being run under the A. R. A. and the pick of the associations drivers will be here.
