mans and Japanese-three natural enemies who are
sighting down their barrels at our old pals the
British-have plenty of photographs, movies and
stills of the Hood the Renown, the Sydney and the
day labor boats of the British navy which lie inside
the breakwater at Gibraltar. If 1 could take fuzzy
amateur movies, surely the italians down at the Of
flee of the Italian line OF hauling in herrings on
fishing boats outside could have made expert scien-
tifc reels
So is it possible, do YOU suppose, that they we're
just purring what we used to call in the prize
fight business the old song and dance when they
were missing the target? And do you reckon that
the Sydney was sent in here at great expense not
to puzzle the amateur and high amateur photo
grapher, but to keep the enemy guessing? I use the
term enemy in the hypothetical sense of course
And one more thing. When 1 went down this
evening to ship my films back to New YORK not
wishing to carry them into Italy and Germany the
man at the postof1ce window made courteous re-
mark, He accepted the films and said they would

Il expect you will be alone almost alone on the
Rex for Naples TOMORROW"
Well, hadn't said anything about going out on
the big Italian boat for Naples tomorrow, and 1
had been minding my own business and leading
quiet social life in Gibraltar. Still this man called
the turn. l am wondering tonight whether he is
going to expose those innocent films of mine to the
light and ruin them before they be developed.
Clever those British. Even if they're dumb you can't
be certain they aren't being clever.

you took a month off and went
around counting them, but a good
rough guess would be 10000.
About half of them now are

False News Travels

NNE OF the questions we always puzzle
over is how some stories get started
and why, in spite Of their falsity, they
spread so persistently.
A case in point is one which has been
told of every township in this community
in recent weeks, always, so far as we can
learn, with no basis in fact. It first bobbed
up in Fairmont month or more ago when
an Iowa paper telephoned to obtain details
about reported threshing tragedy. A small
child, the rumor said, had fallen into the
separator and been cut to shreds. The story
was untrue and the Fairmont Sentinel stated
so.
A few days later the story was told here
about an outlying community. Efforts to
find the source of the rumor proved fruit
less. Since then it has turned up again and
again, about toddling babes and full grown
Youngsters, now boy, then girl. To date
we have found no basis for any OF the re-
ports. .
We will be pleased to learn, if any read
or knows. where these stories originate and
how anyone gains by spreading them.

A Second Huey?

\ MERICA will have a practical demon.
~ stration in the next few weeks Of what
becomes of a political dictatorship
once the dictator is removed. While even ex-
perienced students of politics hesitate to
predict just what will happen in Louisiana
with the assassination of Huey P. Long
everyone has reason to expect something of
an upheaval
Long was an expert in political fnesse.
No method of obtaining an end in politics
was unfamiliar to him and he could switch
his tactics momentarily as the occasion de-

wieldy, yet it responded to his slightest
touch. He was it's sole engineer, master,

The next chapter in Louisiana history
will perhaps be more interesting than the

capable of rising to the situation, taking
charge and commanding the loyalty of other
Long underlings, the machine may go on
with new leader.
More likely, however, internal strife will
tear the machine to bits, to be beaten if not
exterminated by the already organized Long
opposition.

seems, another arises to take his place when
the occasion demands. 1t remains to be seen

Devices and Drivers

TWO TYPES of warnings placed along
Minnesota's principal highways this
summer, will, it is hoped, cut down the
number of needless accidents caused by
reckless driving on hills and turns.
Most recent is mo passing warning
sign series, placed where danger turks for
the unwary The first marker is followed
by "thank your sign, which, while it seems
somewhat unnecessary, may serve worth
while purpose.
Far more effective in their capacity are
the refectors mounted in iron which football
stars of the university have been installing
in the center of paved roads on curves. They
make the center line show up even more
clearly at night than in the daytime, al
though they might have been improved by
putting two refectors in each mounting SO
they would be visible from both directions.
These devices and others which will be
invented and adopted in the future cannot
help but have an affect on the accident toll

cur at apparently "safe" places indicates that
drivers and the condition of lights ano
brakes on their cars are most often to blame

What The People Want

There is, we take it, no doubt but that
the American people admire what has gen
erally been termed individual liberty or that
they desire little governmental interference
with them and their affairs.
Upon that statement there should be
agreement. However, when overenthusias-
tic advocates of big business use this sentl-
ment to bolster their argument that govern
men should leave business alone they miss
the essential lesson that has been taught by
the depression.
While constitutionally against govern
mental domination of people or activity the
citizens of the United States were compelled
to choose between the unchecked rapacity OF
greedy capitalists or stringent government
regulation. There was no other choice. The
evils of finance, business and industry had
reduced nation to want in midst OF plenty,
and something had to happen.
Few sane people would today wish to
see the same forces allowed to work unre-
stricted because they believe that the result
will be another disaster after period of
false prosperity Hence, if necessary to curb
greedy profteers and business racketeers
they will continue to favor stringent regula-
tion and effective policing of selfish inter
ests-Cecil County Star, Elkton, Maryland.
