No Fear of Famine

The arrival of a soaring, crop-burning drought at time when the United States government is spending millions of dollars to get farmers to reduce their crops is almost enough to make one suspect that the weatherman is trying to play joke on somebody If it is joke, it is mean one. Baking heat, blistering sunlight, and a sky which remains pitilessly cloudless for weeks at a time with never drop of rain to lay the dust - these are, or can be, the makings of national calamity, and the farmers of the grain belt can be par doned of they fail to see anything very funny in the situation.
 When spell of weather like this hits a land where the social organization is primi tive, famine results. It was to guard against just such disasters that the an- cient agrarian tribes of the American southwest developed such elaborate rites to appease the rain gods; it is to help mitigate the effects of such disaster that the American public is called on every so often to contribute to Chinese famine relief funds.
 Yet the United States today, for all the damage that the drought is causing, is in no danger Ol ldllllue. CdLIle are uylllS 1oI want of water, grain is being burnt brown il. the fields, vegetable gardens are being scorched into aridity - but we are not going to have a real food shortage this winter.
 If any people go hungry it will be be- cause our economic machine is still out of gear and not because the national gran ary has been stricken. For the same fac tors which led the government to hire the farmers to produce less than usual also operate to soften the blow which the ele- ments have launched at us.
 Into the oldest and simplest business Ill the world - the raising of foodstuffs on the land = we have injected so many complications that the whole picture has changed. Bumper crops no longer mean automatic prosperity for farmers; instead, they tend to glut the markets and flatten the farmers purse.
 On the other hand, natural disasters which cut the production of foodstuffs no longer mean famine and want. It is be- cause of the intricacy of our whole eco- homie organization that we have to cook up such measures as the AAA. But that very intricacy is the factor that keeps us from going hungry when the age-oid causes of famine are abroad in the land.

We Lose Again

Once more the United States has been turned back in it's quest for the Davis Cup trophy, symbolic of the highest honors ill the international tennis world. Yet our team did not fare as badly this year as 1t has in others when it's chances were more probable of success than they were this season. Too much credit cannot be given those four boys who carried our colors in the challenge round only to be turned back at the threshold of victory.
 Frank Shields made a courageous bid for success yesterday when he was pltted against the greatest amateur player the world now boasts - Fred Perry of Eng land. The fourth and deciding set of their match becomes the second longest in the history of the Davis Cup matches. It was unfortunate that Shields had to enter the match against the magnificent Perry with the full knowledge that if he lost the Davis Cup remained in England.
 Had Shields defeated Bunny" Austin, that surprising English player, on the first day of play his game yesterday prob ably could have been lifted to the heights that might even have conquered a player of Perry's calibre The highest praise must be given Shields, though. And we're not forgetting Sydney Woods. What stand he made. His work against Perry on Saturday revealed him as probably Americans outstanding match player.
 Supreme in the doubles field the United States has yet to produce two players who can wrest with any ease the trophy from any such combinations as Perry and Aus. tin or Crawford and McGrath. The fact that we defeated Australia in the round before the challenge play does not elimi- nate the Aussies from further consider ation. We've got to build towards 1885 and that means beating both Crawford and Perry to bring the cup home to Amer ican shores.

Individualism Dies In Underworld, Too
 By BRUCE CAPTION

Crime and criminals have changed in the United States dur ing the last generation, just as everything else has changed. Rugged individualism has just about vanished from the under world; in it's place there is a regimentation strict enough to satisfy the most ardent of col lectivists.
 You get picture of this change in Charles Francis Goes new novel, Ransom"
 MT Coe tells about a young crook who, back before the war, planned to make himself rich by a carefully devised kidnapping.
 He stole the baby daughter of a rich banker and hid her in a way that was absolutely beyond detection. Then he figured he would wait two years, to let the hue and cry die down, before go- ing out to collect the ransom.
 1t was good idea-but while he was waiting he wandered into Canada. got picked up on an old swindling charge, and was sent to prison for 20 years.
 He got out in 1883 and hurried back to pick up the threads of his ransom plot. And he instant ly found that the whole crime pie ture had changed. The day of the lone worker was over.
 So our crook has to seek an all liance with the local gang chiefs; and what happens to his careful plot thereafter-how it becomes the plaything of high pressure gangstcrs and politicians, with it's original sponsor getting double crossed and frozen out-makes an exciting and Illuminating story.
 Published by Lippincott, the novel sells for S2.

be ''the means of bringing new life into the body of the security business"
 "The whole motive of the security act, " he continued, ''is to be found in the effort -the necessary and no longer escapable effort-to make finance more responsible. There is to be no vindictiveness in it's interpretation, no concealed punishment to those who must live under it. There are no grudges to satisfy, no venom which needs victims. The rules are simple and honest. Only those who:see things crook edly will find them harsh. The commits sion will make war without quarter on any who sell securities by fraud or misrepre- sentation."
 The old rule, "Let the buyer beware" is to be changed to the rule of modern hon. esty, Let the seller beware" It is now up to the seller of securities to take the same responsibility for the quality of the goods he offers as is taken as matter of course by our business men in selling other forms of merchandise.
 It may never be possible to prevent swindling in stocks and bonds as fully as in drygoods and shoes, but much progress can be made in that direction. And the billions of dollars thereby saved for inves- tors will serve better purpose by flowing into the hands of legitimate business for legitimate use.

GROWING WARMER
(Hartford CouranD

A Hong range" forecaster pre- dicted that the final week of July would be "waIen with consider able rain the first half, closing with more thundcrshowers threat ened. Lastly the temperature will rise high with an occasional thun- dershower. Hail is possible any day. As for August the same au- thority asserts that the temper ature falls from high to low dur ing the first week, but after a few days is up for the rest of the month."
 In view of what we have under gone it may be possible that an- other month of heat will make little difference, since New Eng flanders now expect to be mai- treated by the interruptions wealth CT gods, and they accept it as stoically as possible considering that the weather gods have given this section everything possible ex- cept frost, hail and snow. It may be said that these are distinctly out of season, but that should make little difference in New Eng land.
 Survivors of the summer of 1911 will pine for those good old days which were then regarded as rec ord breaking but which now seem trivial, not only because they are remote. but because the summer with which we are now confronted has shown itself capable of sus- tained effort. Having sent the thermometer into the nineties 1t has been able to continue the high readings day after day. The only redeeming feature consists in fre- quent thundershoyers that furnish adequate moisture. We are look ing upon lawns not as sere as in late October but as verdant as in May. Insect life is numerous but at least ones lawn does not pro yoke it's owner, to tears.
 There are possibilities, for only a week of the Dog Days period is past. Hence we may expect more showers, more heat and myriads more insects until Labor Day ar rives. Then. when families return to the city, there will come series of glorious days. Nature disposes of most of her stock of damaged days prior to Septem- Der 1.

II can buy box car from the railroad for fifty dollars and make it my home," she wrote. But I don't have fifty dcllars. If you will advance the money. I wilt pay it hack five dollars a month";"
 Unfortunately both the Home Owners Loan Corporation and the housing administration ad- vance money only to those who already have homes or who can satisfy the banks regarding the investment.
 MACHINE GUN ECONOMY
 One day an obscure Tar Heeler" walked into the office of Major Glenn Wilhelm in Wash ington, laid a gun on the desk.
 "IIcre is an improvement for your army machine guns," he said.
 All the fanatical, crack brain ed inventors are passed along to patient Major Wilhelm, technical adviser to the chief of ordinance. He listens attentive,y, explains politely sends them home.
 But he did not send Tar Heeler" Dave Williams back to Goodwin, N. C. Though young, obscure, and scientifically un- educated, Williams had an idea. And Wilhelm saw it.
 Instead he sent him to the Colt Arms factory in Hartford, Conn.,, commissioned him to show Colt engineers how to remodel q. $. army machine guns. Today great numbers of those guns are being made ready for use on army training grounds.
 Williams idea was to modify Browning 80 caliber machine gun so that it could be operated by .22 caliber cartridge. The point is to save money in train- ing gunners.
 When gunner, practicinS on the range, fires 1000 rounds of 80 caliber cartridges, his rat-tat- tat costs the government thirty dollars. The same number of .22 caliber cartridges cost three dol lars. Williams inventiveness plus Wilhelm patience now means ten-fold saving. COLLISION
 If railroad executives go through with their threat to seek a 10 per cent freight rate boost they arc very likely to have a head-on collision with an ICC senger fares.
 The rail moguls plaintively contend they must have the freight raise in order to meet greatly augmented operating costs.
 They estimate these at $359,- 000,O00 annually, made up as follows $159, 9,000,000 resulting from the agreement to restore the 10 per cent wage cut; $66,- 000,000 for the new railroad pen cause of higher commodity prices as a result of the MIRA.
 Even 10 per cent freight in crease, they say, will not meet the added ante. It will net only $300.000,00O additional revenue. ICC officials are saying nothing puDllcly about this reasoning. But privately they make sounds suspiciously like "baloney."
 They do not deny that the car riers must meet considerably in- creased expenditures. But they disagree regarding the way to meet the burden.

but reduce them. This. it is held, will ensure added income.
 And they cite proof in the railroad industry to sustain this contention.
 Last year number of western and southern lines cut their passenger rates. The results were amazing.
 One western road increased it's passenger traffic 5S per cent, its revenue 16 per cent. A southern carriers showed marked in- creases in business.
 As one caustic ICC authority expressed it: "An ounce of per- suasion in business, as in love, is worth ton of brick bats.'

Middletown is quite aroused over the fact that despite the several clean pools provided for swimming many children prefer the sewage of the Connecticut river. It caused the Meriden Journals editor to comment as follows: "Over in the Naugatuck valley cities and towns are rebelling against the old practice of mak- ing an open sewer of the scenic Naugatuck river. The city of Naugatuck has called upon Waterbury to stop polluting the wa terway on the ground that it will avail Naugatuck nothing to clean up if cities and towns to the north continue their uncivilized sewage disposal. Waterbury has spent heavily to remedy conditions and will eventually stop being an of- fender. ." But what of the other com- munities in the valley? Until all join the movement no success is apparent. That's why we support valley authority move ment so continually.

Here is one ambition that took almost a lifetime to gratify yet in the end it was accomplished. When E. Leroy Pelletier of Orchard Lake, Michigan, was little boy he wanted more than anything else pony. He never got one until later in life he took up the business of raising Shetland poll ies. Now he's we'll established in the bus mess and has many ponies scapering around his farm. There are many famous ones and more of them being raised every year. His crowning ambition right now is to some day stage race in which four chariots will be drawn by quartets of all white all black, black and white, and pinto ponies. What sight that would be!
