Capital Capers
BY GEORGE ABELL.

TTOW close is the Administration of Presi-
II dent Roosevelt to Mayor La Guardla OF
New York?
This query and many similarly related ques-
tons have been heard IN washington since Clie
Manhattan Mayors recent visit, when he came
down to attend the dinner given by VICE PreSl-
dent Garner for the President.
Secretary Ickes asked if he would see Mayor
La Guardia, had replied evasively:
st doubt it. I'll be very busy
Observers of White House politics, however,
we're not easily discouraged. They waited they
watched, they were rewarded.
Just before La Guardia left town, Marvin NC
rntvre lean, ascetic- looking presidential secre-
tarv. was seen leaving the White House, appar-
emily for an aimless stroll along 16th-st
But the observers were not fooled They
saw Marvin's lean figure enter La Guarola
hotel, noted recognition in the clerks eye as ne

CECRETARY CLAUDE AUGUSTUS SWAN
, SON of the Navy is noted as a raconteur
Here is the latest story with which he delights
friends: o
"A politician" says Secretary Swanson,
"never makes a frank statement. When was
running for Governor of Virginia, do you sup
nose the people knew whether was wet or dry?
81 have always contended that there were
three great fence-stters in history
Counting on his fingers, Swanson enumeraIeS
in sonorous tones:
"One-Napoleon Bonaparte!
"Two-Robert E. Lee!
"Three-Claude Augustus SWanson!
A CERTAIN Cabinet officer (who shall re-
N main anonymous) confided a personal
problem a few days ago to Alice Longworth.
Now, all Washington is helping him solve IT,
XTOUNG Dick Southgate, the protocol oncer
Il who wears braid on his sleeves and meets
minor celebrities at Union Station, is back from
Havana with a coat of tan and polo coat
few days ago, Dicks telephone at the StaVe
Department tangled frantically.
Hello Hello said an agitated voice
what can We do for you," inquired polite
assistant of Dicks.
It want Mr.. Southgate to tell me how to seat
my guests" said the voice
Unfortunately, Mr.. Southgate was not PACK
in Washington, so the guests - presumably -
were all seated in the wrong order to the cna-
grin of the anxious hostess.
Reason for Dicks delay in returning: He
stopped en- route back to do some fishing on
the Florida coast, lost three sailflsh which he
says were "as big as that" And what an arm
stretch Dick has-braid and all!

BY Joseph W. Helms.
In an organized society it is
economically and socially sound,
and is doubtless best, for business
and industry to accumulate the
funds over the earning period, for
the protection of old age.
If we are to restore our eco
nomic balance and preserve the
morale of a third of our popula-
tion-something different from the
charity dole must be done.
President Roosevelt is endeavor-
ing to get industry to create jobs
for the millions now on relief,
which would be the normal way
out-but unless we wish to return
to the old standard of pre-depres-
sion days with overproduction and
its evils, we must regulate and
control production with the abili-
ty to buy and consume.
Our real problem is largely one
of proper adjustment of man
power to a machine age.
With our. women on an equality
with men, we must face the fact
that we have too many workers.
There is no need for 1880 5000
workers in the machine age.
In conversation, a factory exec
utive said, THE factories in our
line can produce in two work days
a week all the goods this country
can consume"
In wild scramble for gain, the
human element, the only element

BELIEVES HUEY LONG IS
SPEAKING PLAIN WORDS

By Andy ]. SuttIes.
I see in The Times where Louisi-
ana says bloodshed or liberty. I
wonder what kind of liberty they
want? The same kind they used
to have? Liberty to sell the last
bushel of wheat out Of the mouth
of some poor widow with a family
for something they owe and can not
pay? I think Huey Long is the first
man who has ever come out in plain
words and said he stood for justice
and that every man, woman and
child had the perfect right to live
and share the wealth of this great
land of ours. I think the time is at
hand when there will be a Moses
who will lead the people out Of
their bondage.
I will stand by Mr.. Long until I
fall. I am for a man that is for
the common people.

lifted from greed into some appre-
hension or the giving which is
Christ like, "Give and We shall re-
ceive." Gods will for His creation
is characterized by affluence, album
dance, completeness and man re-
fleets the giving God, Freely We
have received, freely give"
Giving as provided in the ma
tional plan proposed by DR.. F. E.
Townsend must tend to expand the
giving power of all. What part has
fear, criticism, condemnation and
false accusation in so great move
ment as this?
This law of giving acts upon the
human experience by coming into
the stream of reciprocal brotherhood
where giving is reflected in giving
back again. BY such outlook, buy
ing is lifted from greed and bar
gain hunting, and the desire to get
something for nothing, into the de-
sire to help another.

HOSPITAL VETERANS PRESENT
NEEDS OF HEROES

BY H. @. NJ.
I have often wondered if any one
ever visited the United States hos
pital at Marion, and if they did,
they surely wouldn't condemn the
soldiers for anything they seek. I
agree with Anne Knowlton that we
are lucky to be back, but We didn't
come back the way we left. We
aren't healthy, nor our bodies
whole. We are sadly used-up
humans, nevertheless, we are
thankful that we did come back.
She speaks Of seeing more than
1000 human wrecks, but not Of the
thousands and thousands all over
the country.
If those of us who are able to
yell for the bonus refuse to do any
yelling, we would be turning against
those comrades she was fortunate
enough to meet. God grant that
every one could shake their hands.
We haven't lost faith in them. The
fight they so bravely led, we have
taken up, and we will keep faith
with them. To be able to think has
often meant the difference between
a Heaven or a He'll for these boys.
I trust that every member of the
Congress and the Senate gives a
little thought to them.

NEW TAX MEASURES
WOULD AID AGED

BY P. E. Dettra.
I wrote you about old-age pen
sions, but after your censor was
through with it I was hardly able
to recognize the letter. In fact the
heart and soul of it was cut out.
A bill is worthless unless there is
some method of paying it. In TACT
that is the only thing wrong with
the Townsend plan. The supporters
do not have facts to back up their
figures. With, only a 2 per cent
sales tax they would find out that
they could pay only one-fourth the
amount they want to pay. But II
the states, counties and citiesMould
align with the Federal government,
they could pay $50 to each person,
with a married couple getting 500
a month. The following is what
the censors cut out:
Now the way for the state to get
the money is to tax non-essentials.
West Virginia has a SIS tax on i
cent slot machines for candy, pea
nuts, chewing gum, weighing ma
chimes, etc., and $3.50 on all slot
machines handling more than pen
MES.
This will give 100000 or better.
West Virginia also licensed the
tobacco wholesalers and retailers.
The wholesalers pay $3.50 year and
the retailer $50 a year. This would
net the state about 100000 or
better.
A license on soft drink manu-
facturers and other items of this
nature would aid. The money on
beer and liquor could be put into
this fund. 1t could be spent in no
better way with the new tax and
license. on strong drink. This
should net the state 100000.
In all, this should net the state
S12,OO0,OOO, enough to pay all over
so years the sum Of $25 month.

ANOTHER LINDBERGH TRIAL

NTOW it is reported that Col. Lindbergh is
IN going to fly the Pacific just as soon as
the Pennington trial is out of the way Coming
on the heels of the spectacular flights OF Sir
Charles Kingsford- Smith and Amelia Earhart,
this seems to make it fairly certain that we
shall have one or more commercial air lines
to the Orient in the not-distant future.
Tentative plans call for line linking Cali
fornia with Hawaii, the Philippines, and other
eastern islands which fly the American nag,
and extending on to the Asiatic mainland.
A gigantic flying boat with nonstop range
of 5000 miles is now being tested in the Carlo-
bean Sea. Much of the necessary field research
has already been accomplished.
Americans will not have the slightest doubt
that Col Lndbergh will accomplish anything
he undertakes in the way of an ocean flight.
And it would be highly fitting if it were his
fight which should finally pave the way for
regular, over-ocean commercial air lines.

YOUNGER GENERATION WOULD

Camps Take Children

And if you have a car, as you
should have, short trips over the
week end will take you to nearby
resorts to give you the change OF
scene and the variety you certainly
want to inject into your summer.
If there are children in the fam
lily, you might want to send the
girls to the Y. w. c. A. camp for
a week or two and the boys to the
Y. M. c. A. camp. That gives them
a vacation at unusually low rates,
under the care of trained counsel
lors, and frees you for period OF
time anyway, from worry about
keeping the youngsters entertained
at home.
The vacation at home is a matter
of personal resourcefulness There
is no need to moon the summer
away even if you do have to stay at
home.

PLEASURES OF
| SUMMER MAKE
LENGTHY LIST
Preparation for Enjoyment
Should Be Done
in Advance.

Summer is play time for OLD and
Tor young, and the hosts of sports
and pleasures which await the in
dividual are legion.
Somewhere in the long list of
things there are to do during the
best season of the year, is healthful
relaxation and exercise for every
one whether they go travelling or
stay at home.
1t is a matter of being ready for
and graSping th6 opportunities
which present themselves with each
new shining sun and each starry
sky
The longer days mean more time
for afterwoTk pleasure before the
vacation period sets in or after it is
over. The balmy nights invite one
to go dancing or walking in the
moonlight.
The week-ends hint of fishing
trips, short tours to the country
side, picnics and a host of sports.
The hot days insist that swimming
is the logical urge.
Prepare for Play
Man or woman, boy or girl, should
be ready for the summer play days.
Week-ends have been spoiled be-.
cause last years bathing suit, taken
out of its storage place at the last
minute, displayed gaping holes that
weren't there originally.
Invitations to pleasant hikes into
the woods, have had to be turned
down because some one forgot to
get a comfortable pair of low heeled
shoes at the start of the season.
Dad may endanger his Sunday
best if there isn't a comfortable
and good looking pair of Stacks TO
slip into for the weekend, and If
1t is golf that is his game, there
should be several pair.
Don't forget the sun suits for the
children and remember too, that if
it isn't a sun suit that is their chief
garment for the summer, it prob
ably will be a bathing suit.
The house without an indoor
baseball and more than one male
person in it, just isn't equipped for
the summer.
1t is the universal plaything for
old and young, just so they are
masculine, and sometime, the wom-
en- too. will join the game, particu-
larly if it starts at an intimate
picnic.
Picnic Basket Needed
And speaking of picnics, there
should be a basket for that purpose
in every well ordered home.
1t need not be an elaborate, eX-
pensive basket, but it should be
strong enough to carry all the max
ings and shaped so that it might
be conveniently slowed away in the
motor car.
Then too. there should be some
long handled forks and plenty of
things in the family refrigerator,
to be grabbed up in a hurry for the
spontaneous outing that is inspired
by a friendly notion or particular
" beautiful night.
Check your needs for the sum-
mer. Get yourself properly equipped
for them, and the pleasure you will
derive from the happiest season oil
the year viii be doubled.
These suggestions have been
served up as general reminders
only. and as hints to what you will
need. You'll think of others your
self.

Stay-at-HOne Vacation
Possesses Advantages
City Parks and Spots for
Camping Offer
Change.

Thoroughly enjoyable vacations
can be had right at home, if cir
cumstances make it impossible, or
inadvisable for the individual or
the family to travel to remote
scenes.
OF course. if one must stay in or
near the home town, the perfect
close at hand change from the rou-
tine is the summer cottage at some
nearby resort.
But if even this can not be done,
the long hours of daylight, the OPP
portunity for play in the great out
doors need not be wasted.
Parks Offer Recreation
There's hardly a city in the coun-
try that hasn't just outside its limits
now. and often right within the city
limits. public parks that have been
equipped for campers, picnickerS,
mixers and horseback riding.
There's hardly city in the coun-
try that hasn't its gay amusement
park for dancing in the evening
and a turn on the ferris wheel Or a
thrilling ride on the shoot the
chutes."
Golf course, tennis courts, SWIM
ming pools, beaches and little lakes
dot the land.
It's all matter of making the
most of what is right at hand II
1t is at home you have to remain.
There may be others who have to
stay at home with you, and GER
tainly not every one will be away at
the same time. That means there
are marvellous opportunities for gay
parties.
