News dispatches relate the queer pranks of wind and thaw at Saranac Lake re- gently. People awoke to find their yards dotted with snowballs of all sizes, but per feet in contour. Nature formed them. High winds and slight thaw rolled small par ticles into good-sized snowballs. Now if that had happened in the Catskills instead of the Adirondacks we could have blamed it on Hendrick Hudson and his little men of the mountains.

President Roosevelt has joined the army of dreamers who are gradually making whole cloth out of the cobwebby pattern -harnessing of the tides to furnish elec- tric energy. The President last week conferred with an engineer who has spent the past fifteen years in studying tides The outcome may be federal loan of $47,0O0,000 with which experiments will be conducted at Passamaquoddy Bay, Maine. Passamaquoddy has been selected because it is there that thirty foot tides rush in from the Bay of Fundy and it is there that the fondest hopes of ever harnessing the tide have been pinned by the most prominent of engineers. As an engineering feat the project has long been recommended, but it's success from an economical standpoint is quite another thing. The federal funds would probably tell in very short order by speeding up all necessary work.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS : IS CITIZENS DEMAND
 OF INDUSTRY
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

The national thought of the day turns again to our President and the 74th Congress with loud expressions for balanced bud- get. Our President puts the ball. ancing of the budget up to indus try by advising the employers of labor the budget will be balanced ''as rapidly as private industry is able to reemploy those who are now out of work"
 have a few suggestions rela- tive to the above that I am sure, if acted upon favorably, will speed- fly bring about tho desired results.
 1st--Let every employer of labor make 6 thorough check of his payroll personnel.
 2nd--In each list he will find Q married women, men and women who leave other adequate means of support, and non-citizens, etc.
 3rd--Draw red line through all such names.
 4th--Notfy your local unem- ployment agency to supply make citizens of the United States to re- place the persons 50 checked.
 believe the adoption of tho dUOtc AOut pOiHtb WVuiu AaViAty put our army of unemployed citi- zensI to work, thus insuring a bal anced budget. Our 73rd Congress through the efforts of one pro- gressive gentleman. Sen. Hiram Johnson of California, passed q law prohibiting the floating oi loans in the United States by any nation defaulting in their debi payments to us.
 Is 1t not a shame for the Amer. ican workingmen that he did moi go step further and demand { law prohibiting employment oi deht-defaulting national citizens if American industry in utter disre. | gard of our own rights. 1 think the time is most oppor tune to bar all immigrants from debt-defauiting nations; to pIac' all non-citizens on relief rolls, dc clare them public charges and dc port them.

Washington, Jan. 21 The moribund federal housing ad- ministration is weighing heavily on the minds of inner White House advisers.
 The FILA has been a signal flop.
 It's last published report, as of December 10, revealed that 1t has completed only $23,350,000. of renovizing loans. It has yet to record any financing of build ing construction.
 As against this paucity of re suits Jimmy Moffett,. soclalite director of the agency, has ex- pended 00,000-more than , per cent of its loans-for "pub- licity and propaganda"
 How best quietly to unload Jimmy and the FILA is one of the big inner administration problems.
 Some members of the nation- al emergency council have sug- gcsted to the president that the agency be "coordinated" with the Home owners Loan Corpo- ration by making 1t q division of that organization.
 Such a plan, it is held, would have the advantage of suppress ing the FILA while soft-pedalling the fact that 1t has proved a dud.
 That would still leave the question, however, of what to do about Jimmy.
 IFttnHfntr nhnuU hct.fh for him is not easy.
 He would be a perfect fit for the niche of assistant secretary of the navy, but h ere Is no opening there--as yet.
 FORGOTTEN PAST
 Whats in q past?
 Nothing at all, says the demo- cratic leadership of the house of representatives. In choosing for committees during the present session, for. example, they select ed:
 A former bartender, Vincent l.. Palmisano of Maryland, to be chairman of the committee on education, and
 A Milwaukee lawyer, Ray mond J. Cannon, suspended from legal practise in his home state = though later reinstated by special act of the Wisconsin legislature--as chairman of the !. committee on revision of laws. Incidentally, he has been legal adviser to Jack Dempsey. He al- so represented Joe Jackson, dis charged by the Chicago White Sox after the bribe scandal, and obtained for him $19,O00 for breach of contract.

Working on his books, he de-
pended for relaxation upon his
motorcycle on which he would
dash at high speeds through the
countryside. 1t was on such a
dash, sWerying to avoid hitting a
child, that Lawrence of Arabia
suffered the grave wounds which
he had defied for so many years.
Col. Lawrence sacrificed him
self to save the life of Albert

cycle, he was racing a week ago
today near his cottage when at
turn called He'll Fire Corner he
saw young HargreaveS. Col. Law

in time. The boy, on his bicycle,
was grazed and thrown to the
road, but was uninjured.
So fast was Col. Lawrence 60

was catapulated over 100 feet
through the air, and crashed on
the road with such force that
parts of his clothing were torn off
and imbedded in the tar surface.

LmysteriOus Lawrence Of Ara
bia" lived enough lives in as years
for a dozen men. Born in Wales
on Aug. IS. 1888, under the name
Of Thomas Edward Lawrence-he
later became T. Z. Shaw to escape
pubucity-he started out in early
youth on a scholarly research
career which gave no hint of the
political and military roles he
was to ply in later life.
But despite his political career
during the war he never lost his
love of literature and research.
The boy was educated at oxford
High School and then at oxford
University, attaining high schol-
aStic honors. Even before his
graduation in 1911, he entered
archaeological work with the expe-
dition of the British Museum, eX-
Cavating CarchemiSh on the Eu-
pirates, and venturing into the
territory which was to make him
most famous. He served with the
expedition until 1914 when he
Joined up as second lieutenant in
the World War.

ture which brought him fame

It was Arabia that stamped him
the most mvSteriOus-and perhaps
the bitterest-fgure emerging from
the war. In Arabia, Lawrence
PLAYED a now famous role to raise
the. Arabs against the Turks,
changing 5he fate of the allies on
the Palestine war front.

forts. living ana acting as an Arab
himself. the Turks were ousted
from the desert and the lines were
laid for the formation of an in
dependent Arabia. 1t was one of
the great personal achievements Of
the war.
Then came the romantic episode
OF Col. LaWrenCe's retirement
from rank. rejection of honors ant
decorations and the changing Of
his name
After my job in the Arab war
was done" Col. Lawrence told the
United Press. I went to see a

friend in the war office. I told
him I was sick and tired of rank
and wanted to enlist in the air
force. At first he was astonished.
Then he saw that was in earnest.
All right he said; but you'll
have to change your name The
inference was that Col. Lawrence
could not possibly be allowed to
enlist as a private. So 1 agreed"
7 AWRENCE decided to take the
II first one-syllabIe name he
could find in the Army list. He
thumbed the book, ran his finger
down the page and stopped at the
name Shaw. Col. T. E. Lawrence,
the "uncrowned King of Arabia"
became aircraftsman T. E. Shaw.
Many explanations have been
made of this drastic change in
Col. Lawrence's life. The one
which he himself gave is that he
became disguised and ashamed
when the British government did
not fulfill promises made by him
to the Arabs on behalf of Britain
that they would be granted indie
pendence. Although called to
Buckingham palace to accept two
coveted honors-the Commander
of the Bath and Distinguished
Service Order, Col. Lawrence, when
face to face with King George, re-
fused to accept the decorations.
So he became a private in the
Royal Air Force, receiving 80 cents
a day for his work as mechanic.
He lived in barracks with 19 other
men. He swept the floors. He
served in England testing new
speedboatS as a living target for
military bombs.
He went to India where wild
rumors Sprang up about his sup
posed work as a British agent in
Align 7nIstan and forced his trans
fer back to England. He lived as
humble cog in the military ma
chine from his enlistment in 1926
until his term expired on March l,
1885.
THEN he took a tiny cottage
n near Moreton in Dorset. Oc-
casionally he was visited by
friends. Much of his time he
spent or liis writing for which he
had gained high literary stature.
