convicted of having solicited and
obtained a $4,000 loan from the
representative of an automobile
tube concern whom he knew was
attempting to favorably interest
him in the tube in order to secure

He also was convicted Of having

He was acquitted of a third
charge of having received another

President May Act
The decision as to whether
Colonel Williams will be dis
missed, forced to resign or retire
will rest with Secretary Dern and
President Roosevelt.
If Secretary Dern refuses the
recommendation of the military
court for clemency, Colonel Will
liams will be dishonorably dis
charged and his lifelong service
in the Army will end in complete
disgrace.
If Secretary Dern decides to
grant clemency, it is considered
likely that he will either recon-
mend to President Roosevelt that
Colonel Williams either be forced
to resign or retire.

Pending the committee report,
the assembly voted to grant the

Griffiths, of Philadelphia, COM
mented:
"The Observation-Disclosures

much better treatment than we
have been receiving.
"The surprise attempt on the
machine in the church to keep
three members Of the indie

ample Of the kind of trampling

CuStOmed. We have as much

SPOTTED: FEVER
WARNING OUT

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, May 24.-Dr. P. M. Chiches-
ter, Arlington county health Of
ficer, has issued a warn ing
against the Rocky Mountain spot
ted fever, which recently caused
death of David Lorimer, four, Of
Fairfax county.
Three means of preventing the
disease, DR.. Chichester explained,
are to avoid the tick that carries
the germ, removal of the tick as
early as possible, and vaccination.
DR.. Chichester said:
ION camping trips care should
be taken in selecting a site for
placing the bed, as ticks will
crawl into a bed on the ground.
The safest camping ground Is in
standing timber, where low
vegetation is scanty.
"PerSons should be especially
watchful when walking along
trails. Wear clothes that will
prevent the tick from getting
underneath, such as leggings,
puttees, or socks that are worn
outside the trousers Leg"

The Changing Weather Cycle

Writing in the California Journal Of Develop
aent, 5. Parker Friselle, a prominent agriculturist,
points out that California appears to be entering
upon a new weather cycle; a period of copious
water supply, in sorely needed contrast to the past
two decades Of deficinet rainfall.
This opinion is not based on guesswork. but upon
an exhaustive study of precipitation records and
weather trends during the past IS years. Mr.. Fri
seize IS convinced that the theory Of cyclic success
sion determines climatology. In other words, dry
and wet years will come IN groups precisely as the
Middle West now seems to be entering into a dis
astrous dry period after a long series of years il
which precipitation was adequate.
The effects of this California and adjacent areas
will be highly beneficial The menace Of aridity
that has o%verhung farms on the Pacific Coast will
be eliminated; streams and rivers that have been
dry or sub-normal will resume their flow. And. of
great Importance, the change in the weather cycle
may provide a natural solution to the irrigation
problem.
As precipitation increases, the necessity for de-
of large irrigation works will disappear,
and the cost OF irrigation generally will be decreas-
ed That will be Of obvious economic advantage to
all the peoples of the areas involved.

Winning The War on Arson

Two more states, West Virginia and Kansas
have adopted the Model Arson Law sponsored by
the National Board Of Fire Underwriters. This
brings the to,al Of states having the law to IS.
Not long ago arson was a fairly safe and one
of the most profitable of crimes. Prosecuting auth
critics were lax in apprehending the criminals. Ev-
dence was difficult to obtain. Laws were made
quate. The result was that arson cost honest citi-
zens many millions of dollars each year; and, inf
nitely worse, took hundreds of innocent lives.
Now the efforts Of fire prevention workers are
beginning to take effect Using the Model Arson
Law as basis for action, constant watch is kept for
arsonists. All suspicious fires are thoroughly investi-
gated. Arson gangs are listed, and a constant
check is kept on their activities. Once evidence is
obtained, it is turned over to the proper officials
and the way paved for successful prosecution. Pros
ecuting authorities, now that it is possible tc obtain
convictions in arson cases, proceeded much more
decisively and promptly than they did in the pas.
The Is states which still lack the Model Arson
Law should adopt it. No crime is more despicable
than arson; none is more menacing to life and
property. And, with the aid Of proper legislation
and concerted action, it can be reduced to the mini
mum.

Battling Adversely

The American farmer is learning the tru,h of the
old saying that Troubles never come singly."
Last year the most disastrous drought of recent
times gripped a vast arear that normally is the
most productive in the nation, and destroyed grain,
live S ock and other produce. This year dust storms
are being equally destructive.
Adversely such as this demands the most aggres-
i've, intelligent and courageous action possible L,
calls on every quality of mind and spirit the farmer
possesses. And, it tests 10 the limit the farmers
principal weapon in his fight for stability; the ag-
~ricultural eooperatives.
The co-ops and heir members are no faltering.
They are not giving in. As problems increase and
grow, they simply work harder. Questions of pro-
duction, of price levels, Of supply and demand, Of
governmental policy towards the farmers, are be
ing subjected to he microscope of hard logic.
Under these conditions, it is impossible to believe
that the farmer will no: pull through. And when he
does, and the farm skies clear once more, he will
have added an inspiring page to agricultural history.

ed to the Senate a number Of

regulation would be maintained.
and it would be supplemented
with federal regulation to take
care of cases where no state regu-
latory power exists, or where it
cannot be successfully invoked.
Sta.e and federal bodies would be
given the statutory power to pre-
vent any and all abuses which
critics Of the holding company

That is the sound, thes sensible

the investments and jobs they
have created, in order to prevent

Theirs was a rugged existence.
And from it they acquired the
stamina, the strength, and the con-
stitution that has been no small
factor in the successes OF this young
nation. They were unconsciously
obeying a law of nature which
states that growth and develop
ment take place through activity"
No great analysis is needed to con-
trast u time with those days.
Automobiles, buses, elevators for
the slightest errand- Gas, cleo
tricity, no trees to fell. Push but
tons, gadgets. devices in great
number save the steps which to our
ancestors brought vitality. And
we hail with joy every invention
which promises greater ease and
luxury.
Combined with competition,
speed, short cuts, tension, greed,
this change is our loss. 1t will be a
disastrous loss unless we pay more
attention to providing the right
kind of substitutes for the young
generations. Those substitutes are
and will be to an increasing extent.
Fairgrounds, golf courses, tennis
courts, gymnasiums, swimming
pools, parks. and beaches. In them
lies u hope for preserving the
vitality, the organic power, which
has been the birthright OF the
American people

why educators the world over are
urging these facilities and asking
for trained leaders to guide our
children
Why do children sometimes de
peIop diversions to certain good
foods, such as milk? One reason IS
suggested By DR.. Ireland IN his

back thirty years, if you can, and recall the type Of
gas and electric service you had then.
Even in big Giles, service was inefficient and
expensive In smaller towns, Interruptions occurred
almost daily; rates were so high that only few
could afford to even light heir homes well, much
less employ gas and electricity for other purposes
Now think of the service you receive today
in big cites and small hamlets alike. Rates
are the lowest in the world. Breakdowns are prae-
tically unknown. Power IS AMIDST literally "as
cheap as air" used abundantly, it costs the average
home but ten cents a day.
That progress has been made under private
management. l. has been financed with private
capital The public interest has been safeguarded

shall we turn one of our greatest, most necessary
and most progressive industries over to the tender

PrOverbT and PARALLELS
BY "A. b. Mann

"A Still Tongue Makes A Wise Head
Here is another true saying. In
simple language It means that it is
more profitable for one to listen than
to talk and have others listen to him.
Listening he will be receiving, learn
ing, increasing his store Of knowledge.
Talking, he is giving out, exhausting
his store. And always the former is
more profitable than the latter. Then
the listener shows wisdom by silence
when talking would reveal his mental
weakness.
Especially true is this saying as it
applies when one is tempted to use
harsh words which will hurt others
OF that will cause strife and ill-will.

Japan's Trade War

A headline in a New York daily recently pro-
claimed: Japan Looms as Workshop of the
World The writer Of the article quoted Clarence
H Matson, manager of the foreign commerce de
partment of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
as saying:
Japan can buy raw cotton from us, spin it and
sell US the finished cloth at a price we cannot pos
sibly hope to meet.
She IS gradually squeezing Great Britain and
the United States out Of the textile market. It is
CT course, her cheap labor and low priced govern
ment control power. She is able to undersell US in
our own electric light bulbs despite our duties of
from 20 to 80 per cent. Rayon threatened partial
~ to displace her silk trade. She went in for its
manufacture and today is flooding the foreign
markets with i. She is selling us around 30, 900, 900
yen worth a year.
A motion picture was shown in New York City
which gave an idea of the growth of japanese in
dustry. Scores Of japanese boys and girls were
depicted in a factory turning out ineandescent bulbs
AT another plant a small army Of girls were max
ing stockings for the export trade, and in another
picture where candy was being made, pounds and
pounds dere being shipped to the United States for
consumption by way of San Francisco.
While ~jinogistic speeches and newspaper articles
are utilized to convince the American pubic that
there are grave prospects of this country and Japan
engaging in battle in the future, the japanese are
really waging a blodless conflict against other ma
tions-an economic war. Cheap labor and the in
stallation Of modern machinery are their chief
weapons.
Can the United States successfully compete with
Japan in our domestic and foreign markets by
adopting a thirty hour work week and apprecic bly
increasing the wage scale at this time? Would a
fact finding conference of organized labor officials
with heads of the State and Labor Departments at
Washington to determine just how much concession
industry can give to labor and make the desired
progress, help clarity a situation which becomes
more ominous each day.

How Long Can We 'Take IT,"

There is at least one calling that hash been de-
pressed during the past few years. Not only has 1t
held IT'S own, but it has managed to 60 forward and
put more and more good round dollars in the TILL
That calling is Tax Gathering.
According to a recent editorial in The Los An
geles Examiner, officeholders of the country now
receive abou. Five Thousand Million a year in tax
paid salaries and the amount is steadily rising.
Public payrolls list over 3,250,OO0 people; and
that LISTS constantly leng .hening.
Last year over 10000 new names were added to
the Federal payroll alone in addition 10 increased
political employment in practically all Of the 49,
600 subordinate governments the country has to
support
Every citizen has to chip in to pay the bill the
poll icians create. The people pay it directly,
through income, property and security taxes They
pay a larger amount indirectly, through taxes levi
ed on everything hey use; from a pack Of cigarettes
to the winter fuel. A recent estimate places the
cost Of government at over thirteen thousand mil
hon dollars a year; nearly one-third of the nations
income.
In the words Of The Examiner, "Al the IN
necessary governments and all the superfluous po-
hticians are demanding and imposing more and
more taxes on industry, more andmore taxes on pro-
ductige pursuits, more and more taxes on the pub
Lie generally" The American people have shown
they can "take it" when it comes to paying
taxes; but serious observers are beginning to won
der how long the people viii permit official waste
and extravaganza to absorb money that is needed
for Jobs, industrial expansion, home building in
brief, for recovery.

The Presidents
Inconsistency
By r A Adams
By r A Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

(For the Literary Service Bureau
In his social security plan" the
president has gone farther than any
one Of his predecessors. He seems to
have drawn from the socialists, COM
munists and other ultra radicals many
of the things Incorporated in his
scheme.
These things are representative of
social principles which commend them
selves to all. They mean industrial
and economic revolution of the most
drastic nature. In undertaking these
changes the president is gambling
with his own future, for if they fail
he will be held responsible for what
may ensue. More, he is endan-
gering the most vital material inter
ests of the nation, for failure means
to the national interest wreck and
ruin. Viewing things from this angle
one is inclined to believe the president
to be sincere and his actions motivated
by genuine altruism.
But when we consider his actions in
bringing back rum, with its vicious
progeny, with unhappiness, the power
ty, the utter waste, and the indisput-
