SLUM CLEARANCE PROJECT
FOR BETTER LIVING

Imperial Valley as whole, knows
little of the deplorable conditions exist
ing in slum sections of the great cities
where two-by-four homes are piled one
atop the other in tiers, sections and rows.
They call them apartment houses, flats
or rooms. Whatever the name, they are
the abodes of human beings-human be-
ings who spend their life in a squalor
unbelievable to residents of a region like
the valley.
The federal administrators plan for
slum clearance-constructio of more
comfortable, better living quarters for
the city-bound millions-cannot help
but meet with approval. A nation is
made up of many classes, each affected
by the other. The highest is measured
by the lowest, so no individual can es-
cape a certain measure of influence from
the squalid slums of the great cities.
Filth and crime are bred in the crowded
living quarters. Intelligence is stifled,
learning is stunted The results are felt
in every walk of life.
By raising the living standards of the
masses in the slums, giving them great
er comfort and some satisfaction in
home, the federal government will be
benefitting all of the people. 1t may
not be true that every man is his BROTH
er's keeper, but it is true that no indi-
vidual is entirely exempt from influ-
ence generated in any great mass of So
ciety. By bettering the influence, by
raising the standards and lowering the
crime and degeneracy of the slums, the
government will be taking a great step
toward raising the standards of the en-
tire country.
Better than most existing relief prof.
ects, and far more lasting, the slum
clearance program is one which should
have the support of all Americans.

THIRTEEN times in one thou
sand hands a $3.50 hand ap-
pears. To hold such a hand with
all suits bidable is vastly rarer.
However, such a holding was dealt
to himself by South, and each suit
was so strong that he felt obliged
to make an opening bid of 2-Clubs,
wanting to make certain that bid
ding would be kept alive until game
could be reached at some suit. Had
he known that West would over
call whatever was bid, South might
have bid 1-Club, then doubled that
call, asking partner to pick his
own best suit.

TAXES BECOMING
NOTICEABLE

To be sure, sales taxation, as
yet, is mainly state, not a federal
method of raising government
money.
On a few commodities the buyer
does, indeed, pay an impost to I'm
Gle Sam. Such a collection is rep
resented by the revenue stamp on
a package Of cigarets, for example.
However, the consumer is accus-
toned to that extra charge and
thinks nothing about it. But he
is quite aware of it if his home
state requires him TO fork out an
additional copper or two per pack
age; that's noticeable to him. 1t
irritates him also. 1t irritates him
still worse TO be mulcted for his
purchases, say, Of groceries. He
believes that tax on a luxury,
like cigarets, may be Justiflable,
but not a tax on life's absolute
necessities.
That's the report, anyway, which
returning legislators bring in from
the "hinterland"

NEW YORK.-Most of the papers
have missed the terrific body blow
dealt New York bankers by the
Roosevelt administration.
Wall Street bankers were eager
to underWrite the juiciest piece of
business since the good old days
- the $100,000000 refinancing of
the Great Northern railroad. The
banking houses proposed a 3 per
cent convertible bond issue with
an underwriting fee of / per cent
of the total issue and of per cent
in addition on all bonds taken by
the bankers after subscription
rights expired.
1t meant millions for the BAN
kers.
The railroad-somehow not DOM
mated by the bankers - got up
enough spunk to demur. With
billions of idle credit and cash in
New York banks, there was no
reason for making a bankers holi-
day with stockholders money.
Thereupon Jesse F.. Jones, chair
man of the RFC, stepped in with
the governments terms: Ten-year
convertible bonds at 4 per cent,
with no underwriting fee.
That saves the railroad $l0,0O0,-
600 in interest alone in ten years
over the bankers plan, plus con-
siderably more than another ST.
OOO,O in underwriting fees.
And the saving on the bond is
sue being retired lit carried at Z
per cent coupom is $3,O0O,0OO a
year.
The anger among powerful I'M
ancial interests knows no bounds.
That single action by the RFC
in regard to the Great Northern
will cause unlimited sums to pour
into the Republican campaign
fund.

WHAT NEXT?

New York bankers ask, What
next?"
If the government can lend
money at A per cent to a railroad
and put that railroad on easy street,
will the government not "gobble'
up other juicy financing in order
to force interest rates down?
The RFC is in a strong position.
It's loans are being paid back at
the rate of approximately $3,OOO,O0O
day. The securities it buys or
takes as collateral it has been able
to sell at a profit. In short, the
government loan agency, because 1t
does not ask so much, is making
more profit than any bank.
Yet. the Roosevelt administra-
ton evidently is trying to keep out
of the banking business.
Chairman Jones wrote to w. r
Kenney, president of the Great
Northern:
1--WE have no desire to supplant
your bankers, but would like to
cooperate with them and the rail-
road to the end that railroad fin
ancing can be done at much less
cost to the roads.
II have repeatedly stated that
am as anxious as any one to get
the government out of the lending
business, but 1 have also stated
that it should not get out too soon
by which 1 mean until money is
available from private sources a
fair interest rates and on fan
| terms"

The President returns from the

One of the features Of the $780,.

it's newest effort to help people
live happily in modern civilization.
Sponsored by the Marital Rela-

two purposes, according to Jack

The first is to aid married cou.
pies finding themselves involved
in marital difficulties. The Sec
ond is to instruct those contem-
plating marriage in its "intricacies
and obligations" Mr.. Anderson
said:
I'VE have found that the
contributing factor in unhappy
marriage is the fact that many
young couples did not know
exactly what marriage was.
Proper premarital education
will eliminate a great deal of
trouble for young couples.
But such an education can
not be given by a prearranged
set of rules that will insure sue
ceSSful marriage. Fortunately
for the human race we do not
live by rules but by emotions
and logic. Every problem aris-

TRADE TANGLE
WITH LEAGUE
FACESU. 5.

If the League of Nations should
declare Italy an aggressor nation,
every member of the League
would be bound to prevent all fl
nancial, commercial and personal
intercourse between italy and the
United States, a study of the
League of Nations covenant dis
closed today.
Membership Immaterial
Article 16 of the covenant pro-
vides that should any member
resort to war in disregard of
articles IL, 13 or is:
''It shall ipso factO be deemed
to have committed an act Of
war against all other members
of the League, which hereby
undertake Immediately to sub
ject it to the severance of all
trade or financial relations 80.
and the prevention Of all finan-
cial, commercial, or personal in
tercOurse between the nationals
of the communicating state
and the nationals of any other
state, whether a member Of the
League or not"
The League Council now is pro
ceeding under Article Is, which
provides that a report shall be
drawn, with recommendations. If
Italy should go to war before
those recommendation are made,
or should reject the recommends
tionS, Article 16 would then be-
come effective automatically.
All Nations Bound
Officials conceded that If the
League. acting under Article 16,
invoked economic and military
sanctions against Italy, every
League member would be bound
to prevent any intercourse what
ever between the United States
and Italy.
Such action by the League
would, in turn. Immediately raise
the vital question of this govern
ment's traditional policy concern
ing freedom Of the seas and
neutrality rights.
Officials were reluctant to make
any predictions as to what this
governments attitude would be in
such q case.

ment is but a replica of the much

Found Dead

tai death Immediately after an
investigation. The coroner ad-
vanced the theory that Mr.. New.
bold, who was 80 years old and
an employe of Auchincloss, Parker

ers. fell asleep while reading a
newspaper before the fireplace
and inhald the lethal fumes.
A faulty flue, the coroner said
caused a backwash of fumes
which permeated the living room
Doors and windows in the room
were tightly closed. The coroner
said the flue was congeSted and
apparently had not been cleaned
for some time.
At 10:30 last night Newbold
was seated in the living room
with his wife, the former Miss
Elizabeth E. Crowley. Mrs. New
bold, police were told, went to
the bedroom which is separated
from the living room by the
bathroom. Newbold remained
alone in the living room before
the fireplace.
The body was found shortly
after 8 o'clock this morning by q
maid, Miss Rose HarkinS, whC
summoned the Newbold nurse
Miss Jessie Duffy. Miss Duffy
notified Mrs. Newbold.
The Newbolds' 5-year-old daugh
ter, Betsy, was not in the apart

friends to discuss everything from
Hyde Park neighborhood gossip to
the history of the whole world
the subject chosen by H. G. Wells
at his latest midday luncheon
with the President.
But the matter Of keeping the
presidential lunch hot has always
presented difficulties. The PreSi'
dent is not always prompt about
lunch. The morning business can
not always be dispatched in time;
and for that reason Harry NeSbitt,
White House steward, suggested
shot water plates"
You would never know it, but
the plates for the Presidents
lunches now are double affairs
into which shot of boiling water
is injected.
Mr.. Nesbitt had nothing to do
with the invention of these plates,
but he claims credit for similar
idea.
Tried It on Fish
Many years ago, one cold April
day he was trout fishing with a
friend along the famous Brule
River in Wisconsin (where Presi-
dent Coolidge fished later. Stop
ping to cook lunch, he found two
sizes of tin plates and, slipping
one into the other, he poured hot
water between them-and kept
the trout from congealing. That's
the idea which has kept President
RooSevelt's food warm for a long
time.
But a jet of hot water has its
limitations, especially when the
lunch has to be cooked on a third
floor nursery type of electric grill
and hustled a hundred yards or
more on a silver tray to the White
House office.
Warm Lunches Assured
Now, after the President re-
turns, when the lunch comes in it
will be in the drawers of this new
''thermotaining" gadget whic h
looks something like small office
file case or a chiffonier-or some
thing with two or three spacious
drawers into which the White
House cooks can place the presi-
tential luncheon.
