on their honeymoon Of course, Mrs Walsh knew
all about the plans, and simply STEPPED aside after

HE is NO SANTA CLAUS

There must have been some mistake ABOUT 1t
vour Uncle Sam is no Santa Claus after all!
Santa Claus comes steathiy and benefcenty 20
drop goodies in your stockings, no papers slgned'
no promises made, no lawyers drawing covenants
no court clerks to register the documents, no IN
terest asked, no date of repayment specified
But that is not the way Uncle Sam is dealing
with his subjects.
He is dishing out unthinkaby large masses OF
money. TO be sure, but strings attached, great,
twisted corded strings as strong as cables by when
no can null in at some future date that which he
has so generously let go during the emergency CT
these last few years.
The Federal governments two largest credit
AGENCIES are the Farm Credit Administration and
the Home Owners Loan Corporation. The former
had disbursed S1,2O0,O0O000 to thousands of IN
dividuaI borrowers whose plantations were imam
cialy distressed That agency announces that it is
being forced to pursue energetic but tar poic!
in collecting these debts"
The HOLES disbursements made for the pull
pose of refnancing urban mortgages, exceed So
O0O, 100000 and are expected soon to reach So
00,000000.
It's chairman insists that while it does not intend
arbitrarily or unjustly to harass any borrower 1t
will not permit mortgagors to take unfair advan-
tages of the generosity of the government"
In fact, it is already proceeding vigorously to
foreclose mortgages in the case of borrowers who
have deliberately attempted to evade their respon
sbilities on the assumption that no action will be
taken against them"
Thus, manifestly, the Federal government knocks
the idea that Santa Claus has been temporarily
abiding in Washington during these years of strln
gency into cooked hat-Charotte Observer.

THE GRAVY TRAIN

Though his outlook unemployment IS san
guine and the tone of his remarks more like the
pre-Supreme Court Roosevelt, the President con-
cedeS that considerable number will remain JOB
less after the works progress activity is in full
blast Undoubtedly.
For instance, according to survey made IN
Charlotte last year, three-sevenths of the employ
able persons on relief were of the domestic sery-
ant class. No amount of projecting, unless the
government start in to baking cherry pies, is going
to put these relief rollers to work. There is an
unworthy suspicion in mind that some of them
have discovered at last way in which they may
draw subsistence wages for not doing the work
they have made it lifelong practice to shun,
Others are victims of stringent times but the long
their enforced dleness persists the less disposed
they will be to terminate it and go back into ser
vice.
Nobody is going to catch The News minimizing
the disastrous, demoralizing effects of this depres
sion upon individuals whose heartfelt wish is 70

long there is relief there will be relief rollers in
plenty As long there is gravy train there will
be passengers to fill it.-Charlotte News

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WE MUST DO OUR PART

So often during the past months have 1 heard
the expression, "Wel, if we do not get the money
some town or city will" that it's become nauseat-

a Spending spree, let's help along with building
questionable enterprises that would serve no spe-

But it seems the President has put halt to
such spending, for Saturday he is reported authori-
tatyely to have limited work on relief contribl-
tidhs on state and municipal PWA projects to 45
per cent donation"

SCIENTIST GAINS FEAR Or
DUST STORMS
(By BRUCE CATION

With the threat of widespread duss
s+orms allayed by recent heavy rains, -
is, comforting to sit back and listen 10 4
less historical view of the situation tnah
that shouted to the country by various en-
merits few weeks ago, when the menace
was at its height.
Such view is that of DR.. J. w. Hampn-
rev. of the U. S. Weather Bureau, who dis
counts the dire prophecies of America :
great grain belt turning into vast unpro-
ductive waste.
tOnIv complete climatic upheaval such
as the one that occurred centuries ago 10
transform fertile North African lands into
the Sahara could leave our midwest des-
ert, the scientist AYERS.
That transformation came through count
loss aces while Europe was emerging from
its ice cap, and involved great shifting Oh
air currents to new courses as the ice melt
ed beneath their northern ranges
Therefore, as long as the frozen nortn
remains frozen, Humphrey declares, no
radical climatic change is scheduled 1or
this countrv-and he adds that, though the
ice probably will melt there some day, such
happening is unlikely for the next 5000 Or
perhaps 10000 years.
So it seems, if we take this brighter Vlew'
that the prophets of gloom might we'll seek
a new field in which to play their Jeremiah
roles, while government officials and farm
leaders go inteligently about their task OF
combating erosion and other factors CIV
ing rise to the dust menace.

quitting time. The man who are
putting big things over, are
working nearer II hours day
than cight-and some of them
more. They plan their work out
side of business, and devote the
business hours to the mechanics
of putting things across. And
often that is not enough! No
ma nwho hopes to build bust
ness of any magnitude can ac-
complish it in eight hours a day .
Competition is too keen. The
other fellows brains are too
bright.
Again, wife will take a per-
sonal aversion to- some friend of
her husbands, and for no earthly
reason except that she doesn't
like him. 1t may sift down to a
matter of jealousy. The person
may be someone whose friend
ship is valuable to her husband,
but she will knock and knock
until the relation is severed
and friendships in business are
indispensable to success. The man
who has the advantage Of friend
ship, is the man who gets the
preference when all other things
are equal.
A wife should guard her hus-
bands health. She should watch
that there is not too much over
work. She should watch her
husbands friends, too. She
should use her intuition to see
that nobody tears him down or
bilks him. But she should be
very careful that she does not
let selfish desire or pique on
jealousy break into his conduct
of business or interfere with
valuable friendships.
CHEMICAL CHARACTERS

A man will come home late to
his supper and say that the boss
kept him (and sometimes he is
telling the TRUTH and the wife
may in a spirit of pique, say
lot of uncomplimentary things
about the boss and declare en-
phatically what. she would or
would not do were she in friend
husbands place. And she may
thus cause friend husband to
ruffle up his bristles at the boss
and get fired.
One young woman got her hus-
band in bad by sitting in her
car outside the office where he
was employed and honking her
horn at quitting time until he
came out. 1t was time to knock
off and, by golly, she was going
to make him do it.

person can be changed IN 10
minutes from a state of pessl-
mistic, irritable Incidence to one
of cheerful, jolly energy by a
teaspoonful of bicarbonate OF
