the wilderness wi t h out any
thought of getting any help from
anybody except God Almighty and
themselves. They did not squawk
around about somebody to build
houses for them. They took their
axes, went into the virgin forests,
cut down logs and made their own
houses. They cleared their own
lands with such tools as they could
provide. They ate such food as
they could get. If somebody had
suggested that a CCC force do
their work for them, they would
have been paralyzed with amaze

chance. They made their, chance.
And as for doctors, those folks
doctored themselves. My great

WHERE THE INFAMY LIES

Goldsboro News-Argus thinks the power
utilities lobby in Washington is pee
wee" organization, and voices it's views in
tRese paragraphs: ... .-.,..>
1t looks to US like pretty small business that
Utility executives who considered they were try
ing to save a IL billion dollar industry from
destruction" by the Wheeler-Rayburn bill
could spend only one 40,O00th of its value in
trying to save the industry.
That, apparently, is what their declaration
amounts to that various companies together spent
100000 in fighting against the death sentence.
Wen bet that some of the stockholders in the
utility companies think that is Smal-sized &C
,tiyity and nothing like in proportion to what
.n,anagements of small businesses would spend
to try to keep them in existence.
The view of the News-Argus is correct.
Ambition dollars would not be an excessive
expenditure for the purpose of saving an
industry worth twelve billion dollars. No
intelligent and unprecedented citizen will
condemn the power industry for its fight
in Washington to save one of the country S
largest and most important industries from
the administration radical wrecking
crew That action does not place the mark
of infamy on the power industry but on
The federal government. The stigma does
not arise from the fact that the manage
ment of the industry fights in the nations
capital to save the twelve billion dollar IN
vestment of its stockholders, but from the
fact that millions of good American citi-
zens are compelled to 60 into death Crap
pie with their, own government to prevent
the wreckfng of one of the greatest indus
tries known to modern civilization. .-.

LIQUOR STILL LAWLESS

Though liquor has been egalzed, it is still law
less That is the gist of the conclusions to drawn
from Attorney General Cummings report that con-
vietions for quoraw violation are increasing rap
idly and threaten to overcrowd federal prisons
Convictions, said Cummings, nearly doubled in the
last year. probably due to stricter enforcement
there were 1914 liquor-law prisoners in the last
fiscal period, compared with 2,2o8 in the previous
IL months. I'D"
Ordinary observation hardly bears out the theory
that there is any "stricter enforcement and the
fact that the federal hquorlaw enforcing force has
been reduced does not indicate it. An impartial
survey would probably disclose that bootlegging IS
increasing must faster than convictions, and that
good share Of the revenue the government ought to
get from the liquor traffic is leaking away.
The remedy that repealists offered during pro-
hibition times is not suggested by the Attorney
General: if the law is not -obeyed do away with
the law.-Los Angeles Times. rs

Juan II, king of Navarro and

cia gave the precious relic of
the Passion to Valencia cathedral
in 1887. He found it, with Jewels
and other relics, in the palace of
King Alfonso V.
Valencians say the Grail, object
of veneration at Jerusalem, Anti
och and Rome, during earliest
Christian times, was preserved by
st. Peter. After 261, Pope Sixtus
II sent it to st. Peters monastery
near Huesca, Spain.
.Bv 1899 it was traced to San
Juan De La Fena where the abb
bots had kept it safe from the
conquering Moors. There it was
found by Anthony, Bishop of
Athens, who represented Martin
the Humane, last of the Catalan
kings Of Aragon.
After long and difficult nego-
tiations he obtained the Holy
Grail for Martin who kept it in
the palace of the Aljaferia in
Zaragosa for 33 years. Then Mar
tin sent it to his chapel in BARGE
Iona where its presence was at
tested by an inventory Of Aragon
crown jewels drawn after the
kings death.
After possession by Alfonso V.
the Grail went to King Juan II,
who, the Valencians say, placed it
in safe-keeping for all time at
their cathedral.

The tumbling atoms made sc
much noise in telephone lines
several years ago, he said, that
they blotted out weak signals.
The engineers therefore forced
the electricity to travel on the
outside of wire, rather than
inside it. That thwarted the noise
of the atoms, which he said,
stopped bouncing into each other
only at temperatures of absolute
zero.
The coaxial cable, he added,
is merely a development of the
carrier circuits, in which the cur

THE PIONEERS
By WICKEs W4MBOLDT

NV great grandparents had no
wagon for their horse either. They
fastened a bag or corn on the
back of the horse which was rid
den miles through the wilderness
to the gristmill by nine-year-old
youngster-who later was my
grandfather. Once, bfeore his corn
could be ground, dusk had fallen
and this youngster had to ride
home through a dark forest over
aapoorly marked trail. Peep IN the
woods, his horse became fright
ened by a bear, SHE'D violently,
threw off the little boy and the
bag of corn meal, and ran fur
iously home. When the riderless
horse appeared, the members Of
the family set out and found the
little boy, unframed, making his
way home on foot as best he
could.
When the men were away at
work, everybody had to work to
live. My great grandmother more
than once, with a musket at her
shoulder, drove off intruding
groups of Indians. And that little
nine-year-old boy | mentioned,
saved himself on one occasion
when he went to the spring for
water, from being devoured by
timber wolf by beating violently
on his tin bucket. The strange
noise frightened the animal off.
The same sound, l understand,
will scare lions and Bengal tigers.
Yes, the hardships. complained
of by the Alaskan "pioneers",
must be tickling the ribs of the
shades of the men and the women
who, with resourceful courage,
claimed this country from the
wild forests, the wild animals, and
the wild red men.

thing about hardships. Actually, |

BUILDING ACTIVITY

Cost of Operations Highest
Since November, 81, With
Exception of April.

The building industry In the United

slightly less active than in April. ac-
cording to the monthly report Of Dun
q Bradstreet, Inc, made public To-

Inc, was $49, ,322,l10, compared with
$51, 1,717,570 in April. This was q de-
crease Of 4.6 per cent, whereas the
usual change for the period is a de-
cline Of about 6.5 per cent. Compare
son with May, 1884, however, when
permits totaled s43,e25, ,268, shows a
rise of 12.5 per cent. Although not
as high as the gains reported in re-
Gently preceding months, this marks
the fifth consecutive monthly increase
over the corresponding period of last
year.
