KING COTTON FEELs THE sTING

Semi-Oficial estimates in Wash

Of cotton will be produced this year,
and the BrOOkings Institution, as
the result Of a thorough survey OF
the cotton situation, says that the
value of this cotton will probably
be reduced $15O.O0O,O0O because OF
increased foreign cotton production
due to the Government cotton pro-
gram of the past three years. I'm

cotton increased in acreage and in
capturing markets that had always

DESTRUCTION BY TAXATION

Snber-ihinking citizens in every
walk Of life are simply astOunded by
the proposed tax on undistFibuted
corporation profits proposed in the
new Federal revenue measure.
Whether it is a bill to raise reve-
nue. or to destroy holding companies
by the taxation method. no one seems
to know.
Commenting on it editOrially, The
New York Times. in a nOn-partisan.
analytical article. says the bill is
nothing less than a new and quick
er death penalty for holding COM
panies. not only in the public utility,
but in every field.
'"If we are to have such a harmful
REFORM we should at least not per-
NIT it to be made under the pretense
OF being something else'-namely a
tax raising measure.
In the meantime business leaders
and investors stand aghast at the
working (Or lack OF dOrking) of the
congressional mind.

A MARAUDER In
YOUR HOME

There's an intruder who enters
homes by stealth and leaves them in
ruins. He creates fire where there
Is no ire-by spontaneous ignition.
According to the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, spontaneous igni-
ti0n is one of the leading causes of
our tremendous annual fire loss. Yet
a little information in the hands of
the property-Owner enables him to
easily Danish this intruder. The
most common causes of SPONTANEOUS
ignition fires are cleaning mOps and
cloths, floor cleaning compounds.

oily waste 1t takes but little imag-

self will be involved.
The National Board states that
rags or litter saturated with fish oils,
linseed oil, soy bean oil or cotton
seed DRESSINGS are particularly sus-
ceptible to spontaneous ignition be-
cause practically all vegetable and
animal oils have a tendency to Oxi-
die and heat up. Oxygen only is
then required for flames to develop.
Dairy feeds containing the vege-
table oils mentioned and wheat mid
dlings. oats. barley. distilled grains,
hay and similar fodder are also sub
ject to spontaneous ignition IL they
become damp and are not properly
stored with provision for ventilation.

HIDING THE NEW
DEAL SKELETONS

And now comes the A.A.A. expose
which threatens to develop into as
great a scandal as the W.P.A. il the
facts ever reach the public. If the
facts are developed. however. 1t will
be over the dead bodies Of New Deal
leaders, in Congress and in the Ad-
ministratiOn. They are doing their
level best to keep the cupb0ards
locked.
Although this is public money
which taxpayers have a right to
know about, the AA.A. has pleaded
that II would be a costly and tremen-
dOusly difficult task 10 compile this
information. Moreover. Mr.. Wal
lace and his associates object to
making the information public, on
the amazing ground that the farmers
are entitled to confidential treat
ment.
This, of course, is so much moon
shine. The real objection probably
is found in the prospect Of a storm
OF protest from the countless farm
ers VINO have received but a pittance,
II huge payments to the favored are
made public. For example. Senator
Fandenberg told the Senate that he
knew of one. cOrn-hOg contract,
where the beneficiary collected S2l9.-
S25 in two years for not raising
hogs; a wheat grower who received
$7S,6SS in two years for not growing
wheat, and a southern planter who
was given $l6O.O00 in a single year
Tor not growing cotton.
II there is nothing to hide in these
crop control contracts or the W.P.A.
why aren't the facts laid before the
people, fully and frankly? If there
is something that politicians would
like to hide, and if Mr. Roosevelt is
above this sort of thing, why doesn't
he unmask those responsible, and
give the people the facts himself?-

BRIGHT SPOT IN RECOVERY

One of the brightest spots on the
/ economic horizon today is life insur-
ance. Not only has this institution
weathered the depression to a de-
gree that has astOnished almost
everyone familiar with its record,
but Il has emerged from the last six
troublesome years with assets which
have reached a new all-time high.
Its total premium income today ex-
ceeds even that of the boom period.
And the total face value of all life
insurance in force is equivalent to
one-fOurth the estimated figure for
the aggregate national wealth.
Over one hundred billions of dol
lars of life insurance in force; twen-
ty-three billions of dollars of assets
OF the companies: three billions in
annual payments to beneficiaries and
pOlicyhOlders-thes are figures that
stagger the imagination of everyone
but a statistician OF a financier. But
they assume particular significance
in connection with Life Insurance
Week, which is being observed
throughout the United States this
year, May IL to l6.
Who owns this vast accumulation
of assets? Average people for the
most part-peOple of small or very
modest means-sixty-three million of
them in all. And back of every pol
icy owned by this vast number of
Americans is the whole fabric of
American business, for the funds
paid into the insurance companies
are. invested in Federal. state and
bonds; in highly selective
industrial and railroad securities; in
mortgages upon the nations basic
wealth. real estate. The pOlicyhOld-
eFs of the country are part owners
in American business.
Therefore, Life Insurance Week
this year is more than an observance.
II is a celebration of a custOdianship
which has been wOrthily carried out.
And it is a forecast of a continual
future growth Of a great public SER

Recognizing these dangers the
property-owner can take steps 70
prevent spontaneous ignition ires.
II paint or oil-saturated clothing or
rags must be kept temporarily, all
air should be excluded from them
in order to keep out oxygen, This
can be accomplished by placing them
in a tightly closed metal container.
Quantities Of floor cleaning com
pounds that have been used should
be disposed of at once.

little finger rolls or crescents
which are served without butter.
With this menu the incest drink
is a fruit cup in tall glasses and
made of tea with mixed fruit
juices and plenty of mint.
Whether you have cigarettes
during the meal or not until
afterwards with the coffee, or
not at all, depends of course
upon the people whom you have
invited, as well as upon the Gus
tom of the community in which
you live.
Now for your table setting.
Yard-and-a-half, square damask
cloths, either white or pastel
color. are much the best covering
for lunch as we'll as dinner on
small tables. Any other style of
small tablecloths will of course
do. but they should all be exactly
alike. Remember. however, that
whatever tablecloths you use,
they must have the same felt
underneath as that which be-
longs under a damask cloth so
that no possible spilling of food
could go through to mar your
tables.
You set your places as at every
table. You first put on your ser
vice plate, then your flat silver.
The amount of this would neces-
sarily depend upon your menu.
For the menu just described you
would put on a bouillon spoon or
teaspoon at the extreme right of
the service plate. Beside this, to
the left, a knife for your chicken,

Then. if I were you, would have chicken
en- casserole. This means one casserole dish for
each table. Have whole chicken in each cas-
serole surrounded by as many vegetables as
are growing in your garden at the moment. or
that you choose to buy from your grocer.
Your probable list would comprise young
carrots peas, string beans, very little onions
and small ball-shaped potatoes. AS you know,
these are all grouped around the chicken and
cooked like that in the dish. Chicken en-
casserole is merely suggestion. Perhaps you
prefer deep-dish chicken pie, but whatever
you choose should be complete in itself. That
