AHo,,sO's Failure
To See Pope Laid
TOChristn,as Rush
Spokesman Says Former
Spanish King Asked Ap-
pointment Be Changed.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, January 5.-The
mystery" surrounding the non-ap-
pearance of former King Alfonso of
Spain, his daughter and his future
son-in-law for an appointment with
Pope Plus apparently had been solved
tonight.
A spokesman at Alfonso's villa said
the Christmas mail rush was all to
blame.
The erstwhile monarch had written
the Pontiff requesting that the date
for the audience, scheduled to take
place yesterday, be changed, he said.
The letter, however, was delayed, due
to the heavy mail of the holiday
season.
Alfonso, the Infanta Beatriz and her
fiance, Prince Alessandro of Torlonia,
will be received shortly, the spokes-
man said, in asserting there is Moth
ing mysterious" about their failure to
show up yesterday.
AS soon as the mistake was dis
covered, the former King set about
rectifying it, his spokesman said.
A colorful royal reception had been
prepared last night for the expected
visitors to the Vatican City. Mobiles,
Swiss and Palatinate guards were sta
toned at their posts in resplendent
array and Vatican attendants were
ready. The royal party. however.
failed to appear.
Inquiry at the Vatican earlier to-
day elicitated the cryptic explanation
that the non-appearance of the party
was "for very private reasons" and
prelates added to the atmosphere Of
mystery when they indicated they
we're forbidden to discuss the matter.
A rumor that the engagement had
been broken was quickly scotched when
it was learned that preparations for the
wedding were continuing.

AUSTIN, Tex, January 5.-A Texas
Senate Crime Investigating Commit
tee reported today that sale of illicit
liquor, despite State prohibition laws,
had reached Iew high.
1T is undisputed that there Is more
whisky sold illegally in Texas now than
ever has been," the report states. This
shows conclusively that the liquor laws
are unpopular with the public and
that the officers and the people refuse
to enforce them"
In large number Of places officers
have an interest in the liquor business
and in some cases openly operate sa-
looms, the investigators reported. They
added:
"Since the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment the Federal Government
has shown no interest in enforcing or
in assisting the State officers to en-
force prohibition laws of Texas, ex-
cept to collect $1,000 excise tax,
which Is only a license by the Federal
Government to violate the prohibition
laws in Texas"

The volume, just published, devotes
more than 500 pages to detailed de-

Sees Menace in Germany.
E "This years volume" Grey writes,
"can give relatively little information
about the latest German airplanes
and airmotors. The German firms
have only been able to send us in
commercial types.
Whatever may be the truth in the
stories of the production Of vast
quantities of high-speed bombers and
fighters in Germany, there is no get
ting away from the fact that the best
German commercial planes and mail
carriers could, with very little modifi-
cation, be made into war machines
And we know that their high-Speed
mail carriers habitually travel be-
tween Germany and Spain at speed
very close to 200 miles an hour.
In Germany all air transport has
been amalgamated under the Deut-
sche Luft Hansa, which is more
closely under government control than
it has been in the past

Germany is not alone, however. in
the fact that her commercial air fleet
is a potential menace to rival powers
in time of war, Grey points out. Prac-
tically every nation finds its pet
fighting planes outstripped both in
speed and range by the latest COM
mercial models.
Altogether 28 different countries are

scription in the book, the United

LOUISVILLE, KY, January S.
The Government moved swiftly today
in an effort to establish its right to
condemn private property for slum
clearance and model housing projects.
Federal Judge Charles I. Dawson
granted the Governments motion for
an appeal to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at Cincinnati from
his ruling that it lacks such authority.
Government counsel here prepared an
immediate appeal on instructions
from P. w. A. officials at Washington.
President Roosevelt's message to
Congress embodying slum clearance
projects in his program to provide
jobs for unemployed was regarded
factor in the promptness of the
appeal.
Unless reversed, Judge Dawson's
decision will block Louisville's 81 ,500,-

Buymanship of clothing was the

Several meetings on buynanship

Wise buying of clothing contrib
.utes more than anything else to
personal satisfaction and securing
full value for the money spent.
Practically all garments and ma
terials on the market today have
labels of some kind to describe the
fabric. Labels such as ssmade of
rayon," "combed cotton" threads
OF Bemberg," garment made of
two threads" 'spure rayon and
wool" and countless others all
have a definite meaning and if
correctly interpreted will make for
wise buying.

THE POLITICAL SNAILS-:

The continued political agitation to con-
fiscate capital under the guise of redistribu-
ton of wealth and income, to increase taxes,
to the breaking point, to compete with pri-
vate enterprise with government business
undertakings in many lines Of endeayor, and
to destroy holding companies and the saw
ings of millions of helpless investors, is bear
ing FRUIT is discouraging, if not actually
preventing normal business recovery.
Unemployment continues at peak fig
ure according to official reports, and the
number of families on relief rolls is at rec
ord point.
How long before the great mass of Am
erican citizens will realize that their livings,
their jobs and their savings come only from
industrial activity, individual opportunity
and private enterprise, remains to be seen.
Political doles, political jobs. political
control of business and the individual, re-
suits in wholesale public charity, destruction
of opportunity, exorbitant taxation.
Politics produces no wealth. Instead it
absorbs the stored savings Of centuries, just
as snail absorbs the leaf of the plant it fl
nally destroys.

APRIL AND SPRING

Signs of spring! The signs of spring are
legion, but never any mention of sign of
summer, fall or winter. Why does one watch
for and believe in signs of the advent of only
spring, unless it he because no other season
is so welcome and no other sign so easy to
believe? One believes in the sign one wishes
to come true
John Burroughs observed that spring
extends from the middle of March to the
middle Of June, coming to close only with
the unfolding of the last leaf But April is the
very heart and soul of spring. It is as the
month of spring that the poet sings of April.
And now comes April, mingling smile
and tear,
Each hour a shower, each hour zenith
clear.
Her blended hope and sympathy so vast
Smiles for the future, weeping for the
past.
April was the month of wonders and i'm
measurable joy for those immortal natural
lists Thoreau, Whitman, Burroughs, Hudson
and Wordsworth. The signs of spring they
observed during this month of thirty days
were not mere fantasy or guesswork proph-
ecy. They knew the secret of nature and
that spring is her busy season and April her
housekeeping month.

RENOVATION

Communities looking about at this time
of year for ways of expressing civic pride
can find no better vehicle than cleanup,
paint-up" campaign.
Than the present, there is no time of
the year when community can look dirtier
and more uninviting or cleaner anti purer.
Undisturbed, winters accumulation of dirt
and debris hides all that is clean and fresh.
Washed off and carried off it reveals a piano.
rama little the worse for the wear and tear
of the rigorous months.
Every property owner, householder and
business man should sense an overpowering
duty in the spring Of the year to make his
buildings and grounds fit into natures pic
ture of cleanliness and freshness. And the
performance of this civic duty costs little in
time, expense and effort.
1t is the little thing that counts, A rusty
can can mar a yard; a new coat of paint can
make" house. Undesirable neighborhoods
are known by the cans they keep, a desirable
one by the well-kept lawns it keeps. Nothing
better tells the character of community
and its people than the size of it's public
dumps.
So the town one wants to live in is busily
engaged these days in clearing away the
wreckage left by winter, covering up the
scars and helping nature mend her wounds.
