Look to President Roosevelt
For Supreme Recovery Effort

All eyes are turned now to Presi-
dent Roosevelt as he undertakes the
most monumental task of his admin
tration-the spending OF nearly five
billion dollars in his supreme effort to
solve the problems Of relief and re-
covery.
"He is considered . glutton for
work and responsibility" says the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. "but
in this action he has taken both in a
measure not equaled in all its impli-
cations and signifcances in the two
years of his administration" The
Boston Transcript believes that III it
succeeds in putting more than three
million men to work, and If the money
thereby thrown into circulation has
the effect of priming the pump OF pri-
vate industry, the appropriation will
have been justified"
1T provides" according 70 the New
Orleans Times-Picayune, "a definite
and comprehensive plan for the ad-
ministration of relief by re-employ-
ment, constitutes marked improve
ment over the old relief system and
despite months of faw-picking and
fault -finding-StandS approved. as we
believe, by popular majorities propor-
tionately as great as the congressional
majoritieS recorded
I'm every State and in every COM
munity and district throughout the
Nation" declares the Pasadena
(Calif.) Star-News, many projects,
great and small, have been waiting for
the Senate to finish its play and do
what 1t intended to do during all the
days that were so ruthlessly wasted.
Now, however, these anxietieS will be
forgotten, and unless obstacles are
placed in the way of administration
the biggest spending program ever
undertaken In this or any other coun-
try will get under way at once. That
the results may be all that are hoped
for Is the prayerful wish Of all Amer
ica."
ut will be test of the wisdom Of
the Roosevelt recovery policies"
thinks the Jacksonville (Fla) Jour-
nal. The Williamsport (Pa0 Sun says
"the Nation is vitality concerned in
seeing what the administration can
accomplish" while the Knoxville
(Tenn) journal advises a definitely
and earnestly and honestly carried
out program
"The object Is to provide employ
ment on permanent, necessary works
until o general improvement in busi-
ness sweeps the capital industries into
action" observes the Indianapolis
News, with the added comment: This
pressure for better road and rail trafac
conditions, flood prevention. housing
improvement, conservation Of natural
resources, educational expansion and
numerous improvements In the inter-
est of public health are among projects
to which the money ran be devoted
in the certainty that future genera
tions will feel, as they pay the bill.
that wisdom governed the decision.
II the administration not only selects
wisely, but ho firmly to the man
data that no money shAu b wasted.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Jail.
Jail! Beautiful jail!
The place where you get out on bail,
Where the friends that you met in
your innocent glee
Are saying your other friends all
ought to be.
The spot where the wealthiest tastes
may prevail
Jail! Beautiful Jail
Jail! Beautiful Jail!
Where many philanthropists fail
In efforts to offer the comforts Of
home
And check the perverse inclination to
roam.
From a haven Of safety that naught
can assail,
Jail! Beautiful Jail!

A sentence quoted In this space re-
Gently deserves further consideration.
1t was as follows:
my books open Of themselves at
places where have been happy"
Not only is that . felicitious sem
tence, as such, but 1t points to the
real essence OF the best reading.
Happiness. in this world. comes in
many ways, but 1t may be questioned
whether there is any more complete
happiness than q booklover with q
good book.
It will be remembered that Omar,
materialist though he was. included q
book in his famous trio Of delights.
If one is not happy. in reading, one
had better not read.
There is not much point to wad-
ing through words II the immersion
Is not conducive to Joy Of some sort.
There will be many times. OF course,
when works of reference must be con-
suited. when the plain gain of certain
facts Is the reason for reading.
Even such reading, however, often
Is pure happiness to him or her whose
mind Is so constructed that such ac-
quisitions, made in such ways, are
really periods of delight.
4 + 4
The best reading must be happiness.
It Is the only kind of which one
could write, as Alexander Smith said.
MY books open of themselves at
places where I have been happy"
He meant, Of course, that certain
passages, sentences. or even words,
appealed more to him than others.
1t may be said that one who ap-
proaches any writing as II 1t were all
of equal merit is not going to be as
happy with it as the reader who
knows better.
1t is the same with the Bible. Some
persons hold 1t equally inspired, every
word Of it: others feel that certain
passages are far superior to other sec
tionS.
Certainly, with what may be called
everyday reading, whether in book,
newspaper or magazine, there is bound
to be uneven merit.
That reader is at a loss who cannot
tell the difference. not only between
book and book, but even more between
truly inspired sentences and mediocre
sentences in the same book.
This is the essence Of happy read
ing. we may think, this ability to dis
criminate. The writer, whoever he
may be. discriminates as he writes.
He would not be equally great from
page to page-he would be too great
strain on his readers.
Writing is sort Of building-up
process, as surely construction as a
house.
He who is interested only in the
bricks cannot be said to be builder,
and he who wants only few words
to read, now and then. cannot fool
others into regarding him as reader,
even If he deceives himself.
What the writer builds the reader
must build in his turn. He. even as
tween mortar and brick. as he goes
along: he will 60 ahead swiftly over
the framework to get at the complete
building.
1t Is as foolish to regard everything
in every piece Of writing as equally
good as to believe every picture in an
art gallery of one merit.
Even the least trained person knows
better. when he steps into a gallery.
He may not know enough about art
to make any comments truly there
Is no calling in which the average
man can feel himself so ignorant) ,

Endless Procession.

EnQfeSS PROCESSION.
Relief we need to bring us calm.
The dollar is the only balm
For every land and every tribe:
It's always easy to prescribe.
Relief on taxes must depend
Which without mercy will descend.
Relief anew will make us sore
And so we need It more and more.

Ever since Morgenthau used the

current that some sterilization de-

remains to be seen. but, at least, OBJ
servers remarked, he would be in a

of sterilization in stimulating world

recurring reports that the President

that sterilization efforts would be
