Italy, in debt to the United States in the sum of 30 mill ion dollars on account of the international unpleasantness of about 20 years ago, creates a war chest of 240 million. Great Britain. in the hole for the same reason to the eX- tent of 380 million. is said to be contemplating a naval building program calling for the expenditure of a billion dollars. l. is alleged that a propaganda campaign is un- der way, with a view to in- VolVing tthe United States in the African row, The symbol for this country sometimes is the familiar figure of Uncle Sam Again It IS the eagle If the USA permits herself to be drawn into the existing difficulty, Congress should pass a law throwing Uncle Sam and the eagle into the discard and substituting a poor fish, preferably the suck CT, or the monkey pulling the cheStnutS out of the fire.

Shakespeare said:Roses have thorns, silver fountains mud, clouds and eclipses stain both sun and moon. All of which is likely to be confirmed in the instance of the New York lad who found a package of lost bonds, returned them to the owner and received a re ward of fifteen thousand dol lars. The income tax report will have to be filed and the bill paid.

The Charm of the Chance

The men were thoroughly en-
crossed in their games of cards,
so that the new arrival hardly
dared to bid them good evening""
lest he break the spell. But he
sat down to watch and think.
What a fascination the game has
for them. We can well understand
when they say they find relief
from ordinary cares in the pas
time. For the time being they are
dealing with kings and queens
diamonds of purely fictitious val
ue; they are living in a land OF
make-believe, forgetting all else
The same is true of chess play
ers. They, too, deal with ficti.
tious values. Their kings, queens
knights, ladies', castles, and pawns
are but symbols of imagination en-.
titles. dn a sense they are taking
part in a battle in fairy land, They
have withdrawn from the struggle
for material realities and engage
in a tournament in which loss OF
gain leaves them neither richer
nor poorer. No wonder they feel
relieved. 1t is a retreat into the
land of make believe.
If, however, they play for mon
ey, then real, material values en-
ter in again, and the game be-
comes a business with all its cares
and headaches. The charm be-
comes a lure. No chains are heav-
Ter than the confirmed gamblers
letters. For him the beautiful gift
of play has become a curse.

Rev. Union thou was lovely,
Gentle as the summers breeze;
Patient as the dew of evening
when it falls upon the trees.
He has gone and the grave hath
received him
Twas Jesus who called him
away.
He has gone to the Lord who re-
deemed him,
From night to the splendor of
day.
He has gone and we never shall
see him
Again in this dark world of woe
God grant we shall join him in
Heaven
Where sorrows no more we shall

He has gone but we would not re-
call him
Gods m we too must
obey,
For he with the angels is singing,
The song of the ransomed today.

ROsenwald Fund
Spends $1.689.451
The Hopes Is To Improve The
Rural Schools.

Onleago, NOV. 81, (ANP)-
The Julius Rosenwald Fund
has expended 81, $780, Ash dur
ing the past two years, accord
ing to the Biennial Review
just issued by Edwin r. EN-
bree, president of the Fund.
The payments were made in
carrying out educational a d
philanthropic programs, the
chief of which are Negro well
fare, rural education, n d
medical services. Outstanding
among these has been the
study of Southern Tenant
farming.
In commenting on rural edu-
cation, Mr.. Embree says in the
report: During recent dec
AIDES, when we were hypno-
tized by industrial prosperity
and urban glamour, we ceased
to think of the country except
as a place from which to es-
cape. journalistic schools were
as active as any of the other
forces of the past half century
in carrying childrens atten-
tions and ambitions from the
country to the city. In fact
schools were a kind OF sieve
for separating the smart from
the dull and it was an axiom
Of the times that the smart
would quickly migrate to the
cities, leaving only t h dull
ards to make country life
even more dismal and soggy
than it had been before. The
first and great reform in rural
schools, therefore, is that edu-
cation shall direct itself to the
peculiar needs of country chill
dren with a view to making
them happy and useful citizens
of country life
A Council on Rural Educa-
ton has been organized by the
Rosenwald Fund, composed of
20 leaders in education and So
cial ~afafirs, chiefly from I'll e
South where the rural school
work is being carried out as a
continuation of the Funds
long interest in Negro schools.
The present program, how
ever, is not restricted to Ne
groes, but concerns the whole
school systems of rural areas.
Important activities of the
Fund and the sums spent on
them during the past two
years: Negro education lin
Guiding schools, colleges, a n d
fellowships) $330,000; Negro
health, $95,0OO; race relations
and social studies, $500, 900;

Farmers Lose Savings
In Swindle Game

Talladega, Ala, Nov. 30,
(~ANP)-Falling for a story
told by a suave stranger,
George Carter and his son, re-
puted well-to-do colored
farmers living near here, were
fleeced out of 81, 1882 here
Tuesday according to the re
port made to local police.
The senior Carter made the
report, declaring that { h c
stranger came to him last
Thursday with the proposition
which involved a farm in
Georgia. The stranger held
deeds to the farm in Georgia
and for the sum of $4,000 of
which $1,400 would have to be
paid in cash, he was sup
posed to have turned over the
deeds to Carter. The cash
payment was made but the
deeds were not turned over as
per agreement and when the
seller failed to show up for
tire days, Carter reported the
transaction to the police who
are now searching for the willy

Properly speaking, Thanksgiv-
ing is a memorial, an expression
of appreciation and of gratitude
for Divine benefactions. The spir-
it is commendable; the purpose is
1audable; it should be encouraged;
especially should the youth of the
nation be urged to give to it due
consideration; but, in our celebra-
tion there are some things which
mar.
1t is to be regretted that the
mercenary spirit has become so
prominent-almost dominant. The
commercial world thinks more of
bargains" and Sales" than of
the spirit. Then, Ep%icureanism
enters in. Many surrender to
gluttonly while others are hungry.
1t is both ridiculous and sacrilig-
ious to pretend to express graft
tude by drunkenness and other
forms of bacchanalianism. Frivol-
ity and worldliness are often DOM
inant features of what is profess
eddy a religious celebration; and
in this the real spirit of Thanks
giving is lost.
AS a nation, as a race, and as
individuals, we have much for
which to be thankful. | know no
better way of emphasizing this
thought than that which is found
in the hymn entitled, "Count your
Blessings" And I recommend
that the hymn be used in Thanks
giving services. The first verse
carries the gist of the whole pro-
duction.
1t runs:
"If upon the pillows you are tenn
pest-tossed,
If you are discouraged, thinking
all is lost,
Count your many blessings-name
them, one by one;
And it will surprise you what the
Lord has DONE"

CHICAGO, jan. 15.-Federal at

to prosecute Louis Piquett, acquitted
last night of harboring John Dill
linger while serving as the outlaws
attorney, on charges of aiding
Homer Van Meter to evade capture.
Frankly discouraged by the
promptitude with which a jury in
Federal Court acquitted the former
city prosecutor of charges that he
was an ally of Dillinger, rather than
his lawyer, the prosecutors said they
believed the Van Meter charges Of
fered a stronger case.
Piquett, admitting he met Dill
linger often while thousands of mid
western officers searched for him,
convinced the jury that he acted
only "in the sacred relation Of law
yer to client"
The jury reached its verdict in
two and a half hours, reporting to
Judge william Holly at 1912 p. m.
Five ballots we're taken, the first
being 8 to for acquittal.
Apparently the jurors discredited

All three pleaded guilty to har-

CRACKS MARK
Jimmy DooIittIe HurtIeS Over
Continent at Record
Speed.
Bu Tnited Press

81 United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Major
Jimmy Doolittle came roaring IN
from the west this morning, shot
his 10-passenger transport plane
over lower New York and touched
it's wheels at Floyd Bennett field
for new tranS-continental record
of Just one minute under II hours.
The big plane in which Maj. Doc
little, his wife, Josephine, and Rob-
ert Adamson flew from Burbank,
Cal, raced the early morning sun
across New Jersey to clip approx
mately four minutes and so seconds
from the record held by Col. Eddie
Rickenbacker.
1t was a thrilling, always uncer-
tain race from the time Maj. Doc
Titles craft got off its course over
the Pennsylvania mountains. He
appeared at one time to be hope
lessly out of the running.
Flying at attitudes ranging from
$4,000 to 10000 feet, the noted speed
pilot set a furious pace across the
continent, virtually without being
sighted and without halting.
At sunrise, however, his. radio
message indicated that he was
doubtful of reaching New York by
$3.50 a. m. eastern standard time) >,
which was necessary to break the
record.
Then, dramatically at 7.35 a. m,
came word that he was flying over
Cape May, N. j., hurting on a di-
rect line for sprawling Floyd Ben
nett field on the south shore of
Long Island.
He roared on in silence until a
few minutes after a. m, when
another radio report placed him in
the vicinity of Lakehurst. heading
for his goal at a 200-mile- an-hour
clip.
The minutes licked off rapidly.
Hopes for a record were dimming
when the plane shot out of the sky
over Floyd Benentt field.
Maj. Doolittle dived for the field
without delay. The plane shot down
with roar, the thick tires bounced
along the runway and the timers
watch registered 1926 a. m.
Maj. Doolittle did not stop, how
ever. He sent the ship up again
with her motors throbbing and
headed for Newark Airport in New
Jersey, where he landed at 8:341a
a. m.
Col Rickenbacker's record was set
at Newark mark of II hours,
3 minutes and so seconds. Doo-
little set his mark at Floyd Bennett
field which is II miles further east.
Maj. Doolittle's flight was in
Vultee transport plane of the type
used in passenger service of the
American Air Lines. 1t was built to
accommodate eight passengers and
two DilOtS
