HOW DECIDE?
How about those others
the men who built this coun'
try? They, too, "stood in
blood and filth. they, too,
ruined their clothes" for
nothing at all per day.
And there were still others,
all through the years. That
brave young flesh, rotting on
the fields of Flanders the
broken lives at home the
endless score of forgotten ones
in every generation, whose
humble toll has made America
possible. Should they have en-
dured their lot-or rebelled?
Where does one draw the
balance? How far should we
be "our brothers keeper?" How
decide between "the worthy"
the unworthy?"
This man prepared himself
for life-merits a better wage
if he can find it. But there
are millions who haven't and
don't-yet they, too, demand
So a day, at least. Or else!
But should we also assume the
penalty of their improvidence?
I repeat, I don't know. I was
raised a Socialist. Taught to
share every dollar. Lived what
was taught. Try still to live
it. And I've been a day laborer
standing in filth myself-at
far less than $2.01. And glad
to get it. But should I have
been glad? Or been angry and
bitter and refused to accept it,
Perhaps YOU can tell.

ing that the Empire State is
one of the most important from

Although President Franklin
DeIanO Roosevelt comes from

he believes he could carry the
electorate after eliminating
other Republicans from the
race for nomination.
Fish has two points at least
which his supporters consider
make him an outstanding can

He contends that a sound Re-
publican economic policy tDould
provide the necessary conf

To the farmers he argues
that the present corn,hog pro-
gram is their ultimate ruin.
He says that although farm
ers now receive their checks
that the Administration pro-

cotton growers are turning to

will eventually spell disaster
for the corn belt.

Every school, college and uni
versity calling itself American
will welcome the opportunity to
participate in the celebration
this week Of the ninetieth an
niversary Of the founding Of the
United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis.
It was founded on october
10, 1845, by George Bancroft,
the American historian and edu-
Gator who was then Secretary Of
the Navy, and by Comdr. Frank
lin Buchanan, U. S. NJ, of Mary
land, a distinguished officer and
gentleman who was its first
Superintendent and the author
of its basic plan.
A vivid account Of the early
days of this American institu-
ton is given in the October is
sue of the United States Naval
Institute Proceedings.
Every school, college and uni
versity library in the country,
which is quickened by the
American spirit, will lose no time
in adding this valuable and
most interesting brochure to its
book shelves.
REQUIREMENTS
It tells not only how and why
and by whom the Naval Acad-
emy was founded but also how
it has been developed and main
tanned and the ways and means
by which young Americans quail
flied for leadership in the Navy
can obtain appointments to
Annapolis.
In a foreword to this Naval
Academy Anniversary Number
of the Institute the present
Superintendent Of the Naval
Academy-Rear Admiral David
Foote Sellers-thuS defines the
high mission of this national
university:
"The Naval Academy is unique
as an educational institution. 1t
was created and exists for the
sole purpose Of training officers
to fight with the United States
fleet. Every midShipman who
enters and graduates is educat-
ed and trained for this definite
and specific purpose. How well
the Naval Academy fulfills its
purpose is to be found in the
measure Of efficiency which it
contributes to the fleet.
"There are many factors that
combine to make the graduate
q first-class fighting man at
sea. The spirit of enthusiasm,

age in her harvest. Nine thou
stand laborers were needed in
the hop fields. In spite of the
fact that thousands were on
relief, and that the pickers
were guaranteed from $3.50 to
$500 per day for inexperienced
men, $500 for experienced, as
against $4.00 per week for re-
lief, the jobs stood empty.
In desperation 5000 names
were stricken from the relief
rolls-the men told they'd re-
ceive no further aid until they'd
worked. Even then they hung
back until assured that they
would be given relief again when
the jobs ceased.
we'll? How'd that check up?
Was it a normal situation,
after four years Of unemploy-
ment-the natural reaction of
men who'd been given a raw
deal by the Status Quo? Or did
it show deterioration in
American character; a Sickly
Softening due to too much

And back came thousands of

The Liberians, said my friend,
were reluctant even to reveal
this skill, let alone explain it.
Even Miss Dudley never learned
how it was done, and the
black men, eventually, became
reSentful of any inquiry or in

has secrets of its own. It was
at just about this time that
Col. P. J. Fawcett, the British
explorer for the Royal Geo.
graphical Society, was in New
York, preparing for his trip to
the Matto GraSso region in
Brazil, from which he never
returned.
DIVIDING LINE
Colonel Fawcett had spent 18
years among the savage tribes
between the Tapajoz and Xngu
rivers, south of the Amazon, as
well as many years in India
and various outpostS Of the
British Empire. One of his last
utterances before he left ex-
pressed his firm belief in the
ability of primitive peoples to
communicate, not only by elab-
crate drum language, but by
telepathy.
Everywhere 1 went in the
MattO GraSSO region" said
Colonel Fawcett, 81 found COM
pIete and explicit information
about our party, its appearance,
its equipment and our route,
running days ahead of us
through the jungle. We know
that these people had a drum
language, and that they had re-
lay systems covering hundreds
of miles, but tat afforded only
a partial explanation. Travers-
ing wide, high plateauS, which
we knew to be absolutely unin-
habited, we were utterly amazed
to find the Indians on the other
side calmly : .aiting us and
fully apprised Of all the details
of our expenditiOl.
"On one such occasion / was
met by an old I.alf-breed woman
who spoke Portuguese. / had
come ahead Of the rest Of our
party. She knew all about us,
telling me she had the infOr-
nation from the Indians. 1
knew this knowledge had not
been drummed across the waste.
That led to researches covering
several years in which sought
to learn whether these tribes
could communicate by teIepathy.
1t was my unalterablt convic-
tion that they could and did"
But Halle SelaSSie'S warriors
are not only goSsiping with
drums in the jungles and deserts
and across the savage mountain
escarpments. They are flash
ing shaving mirrors, whose
beams, they say, will bring
down an airplane. Surely,
there's a dividing line of credul'
ity somewhere.
