Man and Mirror

Men have a penchant for sneering
at the vanity of women and cite the
fatal fascination a mirror holds for
them. But did you ever see a man
pass up a mirror? And did you ever
study his maneuvers? If he thinks
he's alone he'll give his visage the
once over and register complete ap-
proval of the reflection. But if there
is anyone around, he behaves in a
thoroughly masculine manner. If he
isn't making ostentatious efforts to
straighten his cravat, he's touching
portion of his face gingerly with
finger, pretending he is studying
cut inflicted while shaving. Which
ought to prove that women are more
honest than men.-New York Sun.

Natures Plan for the
Restocking of Forests

Aspen trees, once neglected by for
esters and lumbermen, are on the up
ward trend in the Lake States re-
gion, says the United States forest
service. While aspens or "popple,' as
they are often collectively termed,
are considered as rather soft, weak
members of the forest family, they
now are recognized as Natures first
gesture to quickly restock after a
fire, and when the stand Is not too
dense, the peoples become the nurs-
cry crop for growths of white and
Norway pine.
Before the north woods was cut
and burned, aspens were inconspicu-
Gus and all of the enormous area of
aspens in the Lake states have fol-
lowed fires. In Michigan there are
100000 acres alone of popple While
of prime value for game birds and
deer, aspens do have commercial use
as well. The wood Is odorless and
serves best for food containers, en-
tiers in matchmaking and is used for
excelsior, while the better grades
may be used for interior finishing of
homes.
The seeds of the aspens are so
light that it takes two or three mil
lion to make a pound. Consequently
they are carried long distances by
the wind, and terminate almost i'm
mediately if they fall on moist
ground. Aspens are rapid-growing
and short-lived. Few reach the age
of one hundred years.

CLERKS PLAN
AMENDMENTS

One of the prime subjects of
discussion which will come before
the convention Of the Federation
Of Government Employees next
month in New York will be its
constitution, it was suggested to-
day by those connected with the
organization here.
The organization is only two
years old, and there appear to
be several vital points, either OF
construction Of its constitution
or concerning authority over
certain questions, which have de-
veloped controversies during the
past year. An effort will be
made to settle these differences
of opinion.
Picketing Question Up
One such matter arose out OF
the fight made by the AFGE to
have John Donovan. dismissed
MIRA employee, reinstated.
Before it was decided to have
the National Labor Relations
Board handle the case. some
AFGE members began picketing
the Department Of Commerce
Building, where the NRA is
located, in protest at the arbitrary
dismissal of Mr.. Donovan.
E. Claude Babcock, president
of the Federation, Immediately
threatened to take the AFGE
charter from the NRA group if
it's members persisted in picket
ing the Commerce Building.
He commended that it was not
aiding the cause of the AFGE for
the members to picket Federal
buildings. Against their own
wishes, the m m bers stopped
their picketing activities, as Bah
cock had commanded.
Authority Questioned
At the time, Mr.. Babcock'S au-
thority to command the group to
stop its picketing, under threat
Of taking its charter away, was
questioned, but he commended he
would take the initiative Of do
ing this.
There still are those who point
out that Mr.. Babcock did not
have authority to compel them
to cease picketing the Commerce
Building, and, in fact, there are
none who sincerely contend that
he had. Thus, those who still
feel that such picketing should
be fostered will seek to have
provisions written into the Age
constitution allowing such q
practice.
Those who support the fedora
ton presidents position in this
regard will wage an equally
strong battle to have a provision
inserted which will prohibit
picketing Of Government build
ings by AFGE members.

CLEVELAND, Sept. / G.N.S)
Doug Davis, in winning the Ben
dix trophy at the National Air
Races yesterday, set himself up as
a favorite in the Thompson trophy
race to be held Labor Day.
I think he'll crash through and
win the 100-mile grind, the fastest
speed contest of its kind in the
world.
When was asked to write this,
I was a little troubled as to what
I would say. Now, I'm sitting up
in the press box, high above the
field, and looking down on a sea
Of 10000 faces upturned to the
sky.
New Tril for Filler
I've caught a new spirit, a new
thrill by being up here. I want
to say right away that the 1884
edition of the National Air Races,
with the Today show packed into
four, Is bigger and better than any
such event ever staged before. All
I can do is praise it.
I stopped pounding the type
writer q while back to watch Gerd
Achagelis, the German stunt flier
do his inverted flying tricks. He
thrilled the throngS when he flew
upside down only a few feet above
the ground with only one hand on
the control and waving the other
hand to the crowd.
Aviation in Blood
That isn't foolish flying. The
German knows his ship and he is
the acme Of what a level-headed
and cool-nerved fller should be. I
just heard a reporter back of me
remark that he'd rather write for
a living.
So would I, if could. But avia-
ton gets in your blood. I have
been in commercial aviation since
I hung up my competitive goggles
in 1882, but I may enter competi'
ton again.
IneVer had any desire to fly the
ocean. I prefer to fly over land
and test and improve planes for
our country. Incidentally, the
Army, Navy, and Marine displays
here this year are the best I have
every witnessed, anywhere.

Cabinet Members Among
Those Said to Have Com
planned of NRA Pressure
By LOUIS E. WHITE

Heavy haI. ~:-Abinet mem
bers today Were revealed as stir
ring the Richberg,JohnSon rift.
From sources which cannot be
named 1t was learned that one
of President RooSevelt'S closest
advisers In the Cabinet. who is
head Of a private enterprise, gave
definite notice to those in charge
of his business when NRA was
organized that strict NRA COM
pliance was to be followed.
Business Hampered
In attempting to carry out
these orders, according to friends
of the Cabinet member, the COM
pany official found, especially in
recent months, that, due to the
manner in which NRA policies
have been administered, the bust
ness has been cramped. They
complained that in attempting to
comply with MIRA, red tape was
encountered on various sides, and
the business was hampered.
One other member Of the Cabi.
net is said to have encountered
the same situation in connection
with private enterprises with
which he is connected in an Of.
ficial capacity, and with the mat
ter driven home in this manner
to these two presidential advisers,
General johnson has been in for
some heavy criticism from them,
according to accounts.
Believed Behind Richberg
Whether or not these Cabinet
members have taken the matter
up directly with President Roose-
welt is not known at present, but
those close to the department
heads have been given to under
stand that efforts to break down
some of the policies established
by the recovery chief will be made
in thu Cabinet circle, either di.
rectly or indirectly.
This has brought about the be-
lief that these presidential ad.
viSerS have taken the side Of
Donald Richberg, head Of the Ma
tional Emergency Council, in the
reported Richberg-Johnso feud
which has been raging for some
days.
