LITTLE PIGS OF IRON

TNENDER folk whose hearts have bled for the lit
Il tie pigs sacrificed to the farmers pros
perty should avoid reading Secretary Waace's
latest defense of AAA lest the impact on their sem
Stive natures be too severe.
For Mr.. Wallace reveals that while the farmers in
drought plagued 1884 produced so per cent of their
1929 pig crop the iron and steel industry turned out
of that year only as per cent of its 1929 pig iron pro-
duction. That sort of industrial reduction" he
said, "plowed ~'illic OF workers out into the
streets"
Mr. Wallace presumed, ouidnt argue that the
steel corporations should continue producing their
little pigs at peak rate when a depression was
ducing the demand But he contends with justice
that the nduStrys artificial controls kept the price
of pig iron so high as to discourage even such de-
mand as survived
Let those who weep for the Sacricial pigs of pork
save a tear for the unborn pigs of iron, and direct
their plants of scarcity economy toward the fac

PRESIDENTS BIG MISTAKE
WAS NAMING JOHNSON

BY E. Scott Miles
1t is surprising that a man, even
one craving publicity as Gen. Hugh
Johnson does, would write such a
lot of nonsense as he has written
about the Cabinet.
One would suppose that he
(Johnson) was super man and the
only competent man in the entire
country to hold office. AS matter
of fact, very few business men in the
country ever heard of the gentleman
until President Roosevelt picked him
to head the NRA, and as it was such
a new proposition and there was so
much controversy over it johnson
was placed in a position to become
we'll known.
Johnson is the self-appointed critic
of everything. He tries to make
President Roosevelt out an absolute
incompetent as to appointing men
to office except when he appointed
Gen. johnson to the NRA.
The President is human and has
made mistakes and will continue to
make them, but the greatest mis-
take he has made to date was in
appointing Johnson.

PIG fortunes are working for
~ tunes. They are the fortunes
that provide the capital that is es-
sential to every productive under
taking. They are the fortunes that
carry industry through bad times
as we'll as good-and absorb loss,
even while keeping men at work and
wheels turning. The whole history
of American industrialism proves
this.
Soak the rich" and you soak
every one. You strike directly at

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
Ry r,Irs. Walter Ferguson


IRONY is added to tragedy in the Memphis murder
L of young man by his estranged wife. He taught
her how to shoot taking great pride in her skill.
Guns are dangerous playthngs in the hands OF
emotional and women; the latter, especially,
with their delicate and easily unbalanced nervous
systems have no business whatever with such
weapons.
Awakened from her trance of semi insanity, this
wife who vented her rage upon the man she pro-
fesses to love, probably will be sunk in horror over
her deed and even if she escapes punishment
which hardly seems lkely-w feel lifelong regrets.
The lamentable incident was the result of casual
Irritation. A pretty girl meets handsome man. the
two are attracted to one another. The with
holds the information of his marriage and separation
from his wife and the girl makes effort to find
out too much about his past. Thus can be laid the
foundations of a major tragedy.
Such cases are too numerous in our country.
Sometimes it is the other man or woman in the
triangle who is killed, sometimes it is the mate,
but whatever the result, the is always the
same-consumng jealousy. And jealousy when it
becomes such vehement fame" can be traced to
what We may call an illlterate emotional nature.
When we are truly wise we will educate the emo
tons of our children as We now educate their intel
lists. Men and women are very much ashamed if
they do not know how to read these days, but they
seem not to be ashamed to go through life with
out being able to analyze their moods and sensa-
tons
To direct ones hand in the movement of writing
is form of self-control; the person who can learn
do that also be trained to exercise restraint
upon his suspicious fears and angers To teach such
restraint will hope, be one OF the important func-
lions OF our schools of the future.
