 IN COSTLY SUIT

Boston, Dec. 27-(U.P) - Mayor Frederick w. Mansfield and city censor Herbert L. McNary to-day faced suits totaling 4250,000 for ad- vising producers of "'The Children's Hour" mt to stage the play here.
 The city officials were named re- spondents in writs of attachment issued yesterday in behalf of the Children's Hour, Inc, and Producer Herman Shumlin of New York.
 A declaration will be filed short- ly in federal district court charging the respondents with libel and sian. der against the play, according to counsel for the plaintiffs.
 Two weeks ago Mansfield advised producers not to bring 'The Chil- dren's Hour," at one time consider ed for the Pulitzer prize, to Boston because it was unfit" for audiences here.

The Waterbury chapter of Hadas- sah tonight will celebrate the 18th anniversary of the birthday of Miss Henrietta Szold, founder of the i1- ternational organization and ac- knowledged by Jewry throughout the world as "The First Lady of Zionism." The celebration will be conducted at 8:30 o'clock at the Wa. terbury Hebrew Institute and will be open to the public. Miss Szold's birthday will be celebrated in Jew- ish circles in every country tonight.
 Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf will be the principal speaker, taking as his subject the life and achievements of Miss Szold. Refreshments will be served after the speaking pro- gram, and the assembly will join in the singing of traditional songs.
 No Jewess of modern times is more deserving of tribute than Miss Szold. For nearly 60 years she has labored selflessly and devotedly in behalf of her people, both in Amer ica and in Palestine. Modest and unassuming, she has accomplished wonders in the great Jewish health system sponsored by Hadassah in

published in the early part of 1884. This book met with instant enthusi- astic acclaim from both the critics and the public.
 Inheriting the Beecher gift for storytelling. MT. Stoves lectures are really informal talks, full of humor and humanity concerning the great authors with whom he was, or is. in close contact. They are full of personal "reminiscences Illustrating the eccentricities of genius, the humorous side of serious matters and the human aspects of great af- fairs in the world of letters.
 Graduating from Harvard Uni versity in the class of 1904, MT. Stowe went to New York and began his career in the literary world. Af- ter a years apprenticeship as the as- sistant editor of a magazine he be- came a free lance writer. Then for several years he turned to public service and held several official po- sitions with both the State and City of New York. Following that he resumed his editorial work on the staff of Doubleday. Doran and Com pany, where he became managing editor of the book editorial depart ment. He resigned this position in 1880 in order to devote his entire time to writing and featuring. He is the author of a number of books and is also a contributor of a score of articles to the better newspapers and magazines.
 A characteristic comment on MT. Stoves ability as & lecturer was received from the Headmaster of the Choate School in Connecticut in which he said, Your talk will go on in our minds forever = making us chuckle and making us better men,"

entire talk of the nation-is pros
perity-making money.
Money is a necessity the way
this world is set up; and it is not
the root of all evil, as so many
incorrectly declare. 1t is the love
of money that is the root Of all
evil. That is the correct quota
ton.
We should have prosperity. We
need it. If we make prosperity a
means to an end, then we are en-
titled to prosperity; and we shall
get it and keep it.
But if we make prosperity the
end, itself, if that is all we are
after, then we are not entitled to
prosperity; and if we do get it,
we shall not keep it.
This nation has had prosperity
many times; and it has lost its
prosperity every time-because it
has misused its prosperity - be-
cause it's prosperity went to its
head and became its impelling
thought-because it became pros
perity-crazy and failed to realize
that to prosper permanently a
nation must have its eyes on
something higher than making
money and spending it.

THEY DON'T WANT TO THINK

Even though Mr. Hoover should be charged with
motive more political and partisan than patriotic
in bombarding the present national leadership for
the manner in which it has been spending money
multiplying the national Indebtedness and enlarg-
ing the deficit, he has message that deserves a
sympathetic audience. ..
The pity OF 1t is that no matter who does the
talking, when his theme is budgets and audits and
deficits and debts of government, only handful
prick up their ears. ~.
The masses, which in this country includes pretty
much everybody, goes right along in their accus-
toned tenor preferring to put off such ugly wor-
ries until a more convenient season.
And, what is worst in the thoughtless meanwhile,
they are pilng up weghtier load of debts around
their own necks whenever our selling society per-
nits it.-Jufan Miller in Charlotte Observer.

SOUND ADVICE FOR BANKERS

Bankers Association, advocates colossal adverts-

Well may Americas bankers consider the pro-
posal. ....3;..s. . ....-, .a.... +, ..........
Advertising has real educational value 1t might
easily be used to Danish the ignorance and msun-
Outstanding upon which political quacks and eco
nomic shysters invariably thrive. ..... ...:
The banking interests of the nation have been
woefully negligent in failing to carry their message
directly to the people. And that negligence has
encouraged scatter-brained amateur fnanciers to
sponsor the widest and most reckless schemes OF
control of public and private wealth.
A far-fung advertising campaign looking toward
the spread of common sense in the fields of govern
ment and finance would be decidedly worthwhile If
it were handled by trained men in touch with the
viewpoint of the average citizen.

crackpot panaceas provided the people are kept
constantly informed as to the foundations of sane
and rational economics-Anderson Independent.

NEWSPAPERS 8 OPINION
THAT BLUE EAGLE SKELETON"

One day last week the Sunpaper printed list
of % of the chief wizards of the NRA, with their
annual salaries Only one of them, it appeared, was
drawing down less than $4,000 year. Eight were
getting $4,000 and four were GREETING $500. But
this was only small part of the story Altogether
according to the Sunpaper, there were 26 tunc-
tionaries on the payroll at $4,000 year, a.:
Sc OOO SIS at S. 900, SO at $4,000, and 541, count
ing all those in at $4,000 more. The total num-
Der of employees, high anI low, was 2,760, and
their gross salaries and wages ran to 100000 a
year.
Two things are to be observed about this appa-
ling waste of the taxpayers money. The first Is
that the NRA, since the supreme courts historic
decision in the bred Schechter case on May 27, has
been a completely illegal organization, with
standing whatever in either law or equity, and no
capacity whatever to give any useful service to
anyone The second is that of its 20 high digni-
taries listed in the Sunpaper's article, only four
turn out to be of sufficient achievement and stand
ing in the world to be included in who's Who in
America" work so abjectly hospitable that it
gives space to no less than 1881 American men
and women, some of them, of course, really distin
euished but the great majority only neighborhood

Yet, but your of the great wizards of the NRA
can make even that childishly easy grade The rest
slope down sharply from out-at-heel pedagogues
dubious professional dogooders and briefless young
LAWYERS to the rank and ruck of the Jim Farley's

sweeping in of incompetent, inexperienced and pre-
posterous nonentties, most of them quite unable to
earn decent livelihoods at any honest and socially
useful occupation.-H. L. Mencken in Baltimore

SLEEPING ON THE ITALIAN BOMB

The Italians will have their war with the Eth
opians completed some of these days before the
League of Nations acts to put an end to their ra-
pine and plumber.
The attackers have already satisfied one of their
lingering grudges against the Philippians in getting
their hands on Aduwa from which point they were
driven out by the fury of the blacks 40 years ago
But Mussolini has more than revenge his
mind and in his purpose. He is occupying Eth
opian territory this time for keeps He is land
grabbing.
In the meantime, the League attending scrutir-
ously to all the finer techniques of diplomacy, de-
lays effective action. ..a

distant point of massacre and carnage 1t is time

Someone comes forward with the sug-
gestion that Caesar Mussolini is insane.
That is a safe bet. Dictators and tyrantS
are always insane. Hitler is crazy, and
that is true of Stain and the Russian ty-
rants and all the other present day die
tators. This is not simply true of present
day tyrants alone, but has been true in all
past ages. Alexander, Napoleon and all
the others listed in the pages of history
were mentally unbalanced. The world and
humanity have suffered more at the hands
of self-made dictators, drunk with political
and military power, than from all other
catastrophes and misfortunes combined.
When any nation discovers dictator in
the making, it should suspend him at the
end of a rope or shoot him at the earliest
possible date.

Mr.. Burke pointed out num-

start to finish but to study por-

reading whole books through, then
studying these, portion by por-

We are still a young nation
but it is time that we begin to
grow up. We have been like chill
dren with too much spending
money. Almost invariably such
children get into difficulties. 1t
takes rather a developed person
to have the use Of much money
and use it wisely.
A privilege abused is almost in
variably a privilege removed. Con-
trary to the belief Of some per-
sons, money making and money
spending are privileges. If they
arc abused, they will be removed.
AS a nation, we should adopt
some exceedingly worthy objec-
tives and work steadily toward
them. Our general objective
should be to make this world a
better place in which to live. To
accomplish that, we should get
busy right where we are, right
now.
One of the first things we need
to do is to clean up and purify
our political situation. The stencil
Of political rottenness infests this
nation from one end to the other.
The evil is not confined to any
one party, and no one party is to
blame. We are to blame.
The place to begin to clean up
is in the various localities; for it
is from the municipalities that
the communicating virus of gov
ornamental corruption spreads
throughout our land. Wholesome
municipal governments will auto
matically compel wholesome state
governments.
Once wholesome, patriotic gov
eminent is established throughout
this land, then the conditions fol-
all of us here at home will be,
come better and better; and we
shall exert an influence on the
rest of the world that is better
and better.

England and France are evidently giving
due consideration to the certainty that If
they do not stop Caesar Mussolini's war in
Ethiopia, it is only matter of short time
when they will be resisting an Italian IN
vasion of France and England. The Italian
Caesar evidences all the characteristics Of
an insane world 'conqueror. 1t is the es-
sence of folly to believe that he will be sat
isfed with the subjugation of Ethiopia. II
successful in his war ON that country, he
will strike for some of the colonies OF
