To all the members of The
Times Adventure Club:
Sometime ago, if you remem.
ber, we published a two-column
photo of Ronald Kramer, of
144S Park Rd. N. W., one Of
the new five-year-old members
to enroll in the club. We also
wrote in the column about his
being a very popular tap dancer
and singer.
This youngster writes to us
from Savannah, Ga. He says:
"HellO, Gang!"
"Here / am way down South
where have been for the past
six weeks having a grand vaca-
tiOn with my mother and dad.
I have been to so many places
Of interest that I would like to
tell all of you about, but, Of
course, space will not allow that
so 1 will only mention that /
went as far as st. Petersburg,
Fla, where / bathed daily in the
Gulf of Mexico, not mentioning
the beautiful scenery through
the entire State of Florida.
"On my return to Georgia I
have been at Tybee Island, 1S
miles from Savannah, Ca, the
largest and prettieSt beach. /
have also been with my grand
parents here.
81 will be returning in about
two weeks time and 1 hope to
meet all Of you then"
Now, friends, how do you like
that letter for a sketch of trav-
cling on your vacation?
We have received a number
Of letters from the club men,
here telling us about their plans
for their vacation, lot of them
write while making their tours
through the country, and others
wait until they are home-to tell
us about their good times. Re.
member we are interested in all
of you, we like to know about
your enjoyment while spending
your vacations. Do not forget US.

now to be made sixth vice presi-
dent of his company, and next
year he'll want an eight-cylinder
Cadillac, and the year after that
he may be eating his heart out
with longing for an invitation to
join an exclusive country club.
Man or woman, there's always
something else we desire. But one
becomes a philosopher when one
has grown as wise as Bob and
Grace, wise enough, that is, to
realize that life offers but two
gifts to mortals-anticipation and
memory.
The secret Of human happiness
lies in knowing that you can never
satisfy your wants. When one has
climbed the mountain one looks
out and yearns for the far-off,
glittering sea, and when one has
attained the sea the mountain
peaks appear delectable.
To Grace the necklace is like
the sea or the mountain. She goes
down and looks at it and then
comes home, knowing well she has
just about everything to make any
woman happy - except perhaps
that particular coral necklace. 1t
Is today one Of her unattainables
and regarding it as such-She re-
mains happy.

REMOVING THE CRUTCH

NTITHIN the next ten weeks approximate
w " 100000 American wage-earners will
lose their Jobs The civil works adninistra-
ton is going ahead with its plan to discon-
tinue operations by May by which time. it
is hoped. reviving industry will offer places
for the men who are turned loose
About all the innocent bystander can say
about this move is, Il hope it works" II it
doesn't, the wrench is apt to be severe one.
And the plain fact that this enormously ex-
pensive CWA program can't go on forever isn't
much comfort.
The whole business leads one to wonder if
the much-talked-of public works program
may not, after ALL have to be the crutch that
we will lean on until we get past the depression
period.
Putting men to work by the public works
route costs a lot Of money. But it at least
gives us something definite in return-solid
and lasting things, like buildings, roads, canals,
airports and the like-to make the expendi-
ture productive And it does not contradict
itself, as do so many of the emergency meas
ures.
1t does not seek to overcome a shortage of
goods by calling on people to produce less
and less of everything. 1t does not seek to
invent lot Of nearly useless jobs.
1t does not raise grave questions about the
modification of our traditional system of in
dustry and capital 1t simply is a scheme
whereby lot of badly needed work can be
done, lot of idle capital can be put in mo-
ton.
After all, when you stop to think about
it, there is enough work waiting to be done
in this country to keep us all busy for gen.
erations to come. We talk of our idle men and
our idle money-and all the while there are
miserable slums to be replaced with decent
homes, uncounted miles of roadway to be
built rivers to be harnessed and controlled,
canals to be dug. power plants to be erected,
public buildings to be put up &. +. you could
make out an almost endless list.
We live in an enormous country which is
blessed with every natural resource, we have
an industrious and capable army of citizens
eager to work, and the job of supplying our
selves with an abundance of the necessities
and luxuries of life hardly has begun.
public works program is a start in the
right direction. If cutting off the CWA helps
us to realize that fact, it will be worth all the
trouble it may cause

For the Farmers

be paid to a middleman? It's
dumb to let a fellow who does
nothing but hold it in his hands
a little while make the lions
share of the profit.
But what about the consumer
who won't pay a good price for
eggs that are fresh, but waits
until they have been in storage
for six months and he can buy
them from a middleman? Is that
such a bright thing to do? You
fellows who buy eggs ought to
think up a better system than
that.
The government isn't spending
any more money putting the
farmer on his feet than it has
spent putting other businesses,
banks, transportation systems,
ETC., on their feet. 1t isn't love
for the hayshaker that makes
Uncle Sam do it. Uncle Sam
thinks the country wants food. II
you don't think so, you might write
and tell Uncle Sam to quit trying
and starve whenever you feel so
disposed. In the other businesses
the money has come back. In the
case of the farmer, we'll, look up
your statistics on taxes. The
farmer always has been better
taxpayer than any other business
in the world.

LIQUOR IMPORTS

(INCE repeal and passage of the new rev.
- enue act the importations of foreign
liquors have been disappointingly low AS a
result President Roosevelt has instructed JOS
eph H. Choate Jr., federal alcohol admins
TRAITOR to conduct thorough study OF the
situation to find out what is holding down
imports.
We suspect that Mr. Choate will find that
congress mas hxed the tariff rate too high The
IeoeraI lmpost is IS a gallon plus the normal
TAX Oh % gallon on imported spirits This
makes a tax OF 81 on every gallon 1t would
De strange, indeed, if any great volume could
flow over that high wall
hign liquor taxes invite bootlegging de-
prive consumers of pure liquor and rob the
government of revenue High LIQUOR tariffs
operate in the same way.

A SERIOUS UNDERTAKING

ME fact that three army pilots lost their
lives in crashes while flying to air mail
fields, preparatory to taking up their new
duties as mail pilots, is a bad omen. even
though they had not yet begun to fly the reg
ular mail routes.
1t does not mean. of course that the army
filters will be less capable of carrying the mail
than the regular civilian pilots have been.
But it does serve as a reminder that f1ying
the mail is a specialized and difficult Job,
requiring the utmost skill and the most elab-
crate and accurate preparation
The civilian pilots have made a truly re-
markable record on this job in the last half
dozen years. No one doubts that the army
fiers are as brave capable and well-trained
as any airmen in the country; but in tax
ing over the mail routes they are stepping
into strange new field, filled with dangers
The whole country will wish them the best
of luck in their new venture.

Just a word for the Main Street
Observer, who can't understand
why it doesn't make the farmer
happy to see somebody else get
ting a good price for farm prod
ucts. The fact that farm stuff
always have brought better prices
to the middle man than the farm
ers, and that the higher the price
the consumer pays, the lower the
farmer gets-statisticS for practi-
cally any year will show that Gu
rious relation-is one of the many
dumb things about the way this
country has conducted its bust
ness affairs for years.
The farmer finally has realized
that what he needs is to hold on
to his stuff until it is ready to
bring a good price, instead of let
ting some outsider make the
profit. If he ever gets little
stake ahead, so that he can hang
on, I believe he knows enough now
to do it.
Farm co-operatives already are
doing it. Honest goodness
farmers in Indiana last year held
wool until it reached % cents,
instead of taking 9 to IL cents
that it would bring at shearing
time. As long as the consumer
has to buy it on 29-cent market,
why shouldn't the man who raised
it sell it at that? Why should it
