that the launching was to be done right and
that expense was an item not to be considered,
a thousand dollars, if necessary.
The following day Ma Lawler received her
first real Jolt With the confidence OF one VINO
owns bulging check book, she sought 10 rent
one of the half dozen bathrooms OF the select
hotels At each hotel she was politely but hrmly
told that arrangements were customariy maze
through Miss Craig. Not wishing to display her
ignorance of the intrigues of society, Ma Law
ler did not admit she had never heard of Miss
Craig. but from the awed tone of voice in which
Miss Craig had been mentioned, Ma decided
she must know more about this social power.
HAD often wished for social secretary
M but had never been able to figure out an
excuse for hiring one Now the situation had
arrived and two days later rather haughty
bespectacled young woman entered the employ
of the very wealthy Lawlers.
Ma. a little timid, fired the opening gum Miss
Fink" she started, 1--WE are about to have a
coming-out party for my daughter. WIN you
please make arrangements with Miss Craig for
the Turquoise ballroom on December 28th
Money, of course" Ma added, "is no object"
Miss Fink favored her with frigidly profess
sional glance and set forth.
Hours later she returned armed with volumi-
nous notes. II am sorry, Mrs. Lawler, but the
Turquoise ballroom is taken for the 28th. The
Simpsons have it for the 9th, the Van de
Waters for the Goth. Miss Craig says she will
be able to let you have the Amber Room on
the 3Oth." Ma hoped her slight flush was not
too obvious.
IT explained to Miss Craig" Miss. Fink con-
tinued "that money was object. So engaged
the Amber Room and made arrangements for
publicity and invitations"
"Of course" agreed Ma, frightening. Now
they were getting somewhere "Now l have
list of guests"
Miss Craig will handle all of that" Miss
Fink interrupted.
AS the days passed, Ma had perfectly
natural desire to assist with the arrangements
for this launching that meant so much to her
But on every sally she was met by the cold
efficiency of the unknown Miss Craig. When she
asked about something, Miss Fink invariably
replied, THAT of course, is being taken care
of by Miss Craig"
"Of course" Ma always answered Secretly
she was nonplussed. She wanted her finger in
the pie, but she guessed that was the way
social matters were handled and resigned her
self to the situation. Anyway, the papers were
carrying large photographs of Sarah and in
good locations, too.
The fatal night arrived and the LAWYERS, in
line. Guests arrived by the hundreds On very
rare occasions the Lawlers caught a name.
Many of the young people did not bother to go
through the formality of speaking to their host
ess. Some arrived tight others got that way
quickly. The whole thing was dazzling blur
to the LAWYERS Once Or twice they caught a

PWA REACHES
WAGE PEAK

Average hourly earnings Of PWA
workers during September reached
the highest point since the Public
Works Administration was miti-
ated in July, 1888, the Labor De-
partment's Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics revealed today.
In a report to Interior Secretary
Ickes, PwA administrator, the bu'
reau revealed that tabulations
from 4s State offices showed an
average Of 78 cents per hour dur
ing September.
PWA wages reached their low
est point in October, 1898, when
they average SO cents per hour,
and over a three-year period have
averaged IS cents, the bureau re-
ported.
In practice, PWA pays prevail
ing wage rates on its projects, both
Federal and non-Federal. These
are determined by the union scale
in the zone in which the project
is located, and it is estimated that
rates for skilled labor alone are
much higher than the figures
given, which included unskilled
laborers as we'll.

GAS KILLS MAN

George Gray, IL, Of 500 Sev-

from the effects of carbon monox-
ide gas late yesterday in a garage
in the 900 block Princeton st. N.
w. Police said two notes were
found among his personal effects.
According to police, Gray ap-
preached Mrs. Sarah Cohen, Of
625 Princeton ST., and asked if
he could rent the garage at that
address for a few hours to make
repairs to his car. The permis-
sion was granted.
Later, Rose Cohen and Mildred
Purcell, of the Princeton Street
address, smelled gas and upon in
vestigating, found Gray lying in
his car, the hood raised and mo-
tor running. The garage doors
were closed.
They summoned the fire rescue
squad which attempted to revive
the man and later took him to

The hope for world peace, and
with it, prosperity, is the moving
force that will guide the 81 Ameri-
can republics in their deliberations
at the Inter-American Conference
for the Maintenance of Peace.
It is the impelling urge that
sends President Roosevelt on the
5,O00mile trek to Buenos Aires at
a time when, with weighty national
problems to be laid before a new
Congress, only the most urgent
external subject could command
his attention.
Primarily, the conference is in
tended to weld common bond OF
action between the United States
and Latin-America in banishing
future wars from the Western
Hemisphere.
IT, The Common Need
In summoning the American
democracies to the conference last
January, President Roosevelt sug-
gested that the time had come for
them "to consider their joint re-
sponsibility and their common
need" in preventing future con-
flicts, in forwarding "the cause
of permanent peace on this West
e1n Continent" and "the creation
by common accord Of new inStru-
ments Of peace"
But, with the alarming drift
toward war still undated in Eu-
rope, Mr.. Roosevelt cherishes the
hope that the example set at the
conference by the American repuo-
lies may have a decided influence
in stamping out the sparks OF war
abroad.
: This broader concept was the
factor that clinched the Presi-
dents decision to go to Buenos
Aires and make the keynote
speech at the opening session De-
cember /.
With the enormous 1nterna-
tional prestige gained by his land
slide reelection, the Presidents
peace message in the Argentine
capital is bound to be listened to
with keen attention in Europe.
Astutely realizing this, Mr..
Roosevelt iS not expected to con-
fine the import Of his remarks to
America alone.
TwO-fOId Object
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull,
who heads the American delega-
ton, summed up the conference
objectives as two-fold:
"The American republics.
are animated by one common
purpose: To do everything in
their power to Danish war from
the two continents of the West
ern Hemisphere, and, by their
example and influence, they are
seeking to promote peace
throughout the world in every
practicable way
And how is it proposed that the
continuance of peace shall be
guaranteed in the Western Hemi-
sphere?
These are the principal instru-
ments over which the ENJOYS are
expected to ponder:
/. Extension of the United
State neutrality act to all the
American republics.
2. The setting up of a perma-
nent court to stop war before it
begins by conciliating differ
ences between American nations.
8. Limiting armaments to the
needs only of national security
and protection against aggres-
sion.
4. Expansion of the Monroe
Doctrine to include the Latin
American republics in a multi
lateral agreement against for
eign aggression.
5. Expansion Of inter-Amer-
lean trade through further ap-
plication of reciprocal trade
agreements.

The promise of success for
the Republican ticket for Min
nesota in the coming fall CAM
paign depends mostly on setting
a course n0zU which will clear
the snares and pitfalls set for the
entrapment of Republicans by the
cunningness, the craftiness and
the resourcefulness of the pilots
who guide the political activities
of the farmer-labor party.
Republicans have laid a strong
foundation for the candidacy of
Martin Nelson which will be in
vulnerable to direct attacks on
his record or qualifications. In
order to shatter the Nelson
strength, as well as the strength
of the entire Republican ticket,
the radicals realize that it will
be necessary to center their fight
on the Republican party rather
than on such individuals, a fight
which must be made by using
for their cannon fodder the pub
licly recorded and other weak
nesses of former Republican lead
ers. They would like to find the
weaknesses in the master link

at first in the matter of control
ling the personnel of that COM
mittee. With the aid of the med
ding tactics of 574, control Of
relief matters was unanswered
into the hands of aldermen Scott
and Hudson, who from that time
have enjoyed perfect cooperation
with the majority of the mem
bers of the welfare board, includ-
ing L.atimer, and excepting Kjor.

ately put into effect.
At the second meeting Of this
radical controlled board, held in
July, 1885, a boisterous commit
tee of 574 monopolized the pro-
ceedings and, bolstered by Scott
and Hudson, fought for an in
crease Of 60 per cent, despite the
fact that the scale at that time
was $500 above relief allowances
in any city in the Northwest.
Joseph advised that the voting
of any increase would cut of
federal aid. Scott, Hudson and
574 were for it nevertheless, so
the measure was approved and
that 90 per cent scale put into
practice.
II looks two weeks to convince
Scott and Hudson that the city
could not foot this heavy increase
in expense and they were forced
to rescind the measure. This

properly engineered into election,
we feel compelled to recite, even
tho in less detail than space will
allow, who that candidate is to
be and the reason for making
that choice.
Radical leaders have selected
one of those candidates who as
pire to head the Republican ticket,
one of the u. S. senatorial candi-
dates. That candidate is none
other than the former governor,
Theodore Christensen. And
Teddy is considered to be a per-
feet sef-np for them because Of
his past prominence in state re-
publican circles, because he is
a candidate for the leading Office
on the state ticket, and because
they have available such mass of
unimpcachable, convincing, var
led and damaging evidence
against him the exposure of
which will solidly establish that
Teddy has divorced himself,
coldly and deliberately, from al
most every voter in the state of

Once upon time there was a
biped named Loofmad, a worker
In metals and such; slightly hu-
man, but subject to hallucina-
tons, one of which was the idea
that the visible landscape was a
part of what was sometimes call
ed the land of opportunity; the
home Of free men, where those
who invested proper effort might
govern their own destiny, so,
having been bitten by the ambi-
ton bug and being not so very
bright, sought to absorb knowl-
edge and in doing SO, travelled
far and wide.
Then it came to pass, that having
been frequently exposed to knowl-
edge, considerable amount of it
eventually seeped into that por-
ton of his anatomy above the
collar, but in order to trade the
same for groceries, it was neces-
sary to establish permanent habi-
tat, that he might labor and hang
out the welcome sign to those
who would buy the results of his
labor.
And Loofmad, like many OF
those of low I. O., had a yen for
piscatorial sports, and reasoned
that a good people to tag along
with, would be those given by ma
ture, ten thousand opportunities
for that indulgence right in their
dooryard, by progressive pioneers,
a beautiful city and by geograph-
ical chance unequalled oppor-
tunity for business progress, and
such people should logically re-
feet those endowments by right
thinking, loyalty to their country
and perhaps gratitude toward
those who might help them inn
prove their assets.
So he pitched his tent in Mime
apolis, and labored by night and
by day to build a business, small,
m keeping with his intellect, but
large in the investment of his
years and efforts.
But again it came to pass that
when the sun rose one day, after
The Saturday press. (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1936, 1936-04-11
What A Strange People!

that part of Loofmad's anatomy
below the collar had gone into
second gear and his thatch be-
coming platinum blond, he dis
covered that people among whom
he had cast his lot had become
infected with a strange malady.
Their love for natures gifts,
loyalty to their country, that spir-
1T of progress and their civic
pride had vanished, given way to
a desire to destroy; many had
become towards, afraid to defy
parasitic elements that were de-
stroying them and no longer be-
lieved in their own ability to gov
ern themselves.
Many had developed an inferi-
ority complex and were ready to
trade the proven principles of
Americanism for the asinine
theories of other countries al
ready wrecked-which would de-
stroy their homes, their business,
and their own country; welcom-
ing vandals who had no hand
in building their structure and
offered nothing but chaos and
misery; converting their assets
into waste, with nothing gained.
Poor Loofmad, who had sought
a people whom he might be proud
to join, but found himself in a
foreign land, himself sharing
the ridicule of the nation, which
watched a people who might be
envied in their security, sell their
birthright for a mess of pottage.
These strange people, who de-
mandthat Loofmad, who hadtrav-
eled far and wide to gain knowl
edge; who had 1abored by day and
by night to build !; who had invest
ed his years and his worldly all
shall not profit thereby, but must
have no reward more than those
who had labored not and seek
only to destroy.
Said Loofmad: Indeed. what
a strange people"
Maybe Loofmad should re
verse his name and envy the
Mummy who chucked it all,
about five thousand years ago.

When the radicals came into
control of the city council, there
was no time lost in putting into
play a conspiracy to juggle relief
funds. They Immediately made
a drive for control of the relief
committee of the welfare board
in whose hands was the control
of the relief money bag strings.
They met with some difficulties

and with a proper timed attack
on it, make the entire chain Of
candidates suffer. That attack
will be kept in allegiance until
after the primaries.
But meanwhile, the farmer
labor leaders will not be idle.
They have an ingenious plan
which calls for the secret shift of
trusted farmer-laborites into the
Republican primaries to aid in
setting up their own Republican
target for the final fight, a big,
broad target that will be easy to
hit. Having a complete state
slate of convention endorsed can
didates, the Farmer-Labor primary
results are in fact settled now, so
that the usefulness of farmer
laborites in the primaries lies
wholly in their voting for such
a set-mb. Farmer-laborites will
be instructed to scratch in favor
of the Republican candidate
agreed on as the set-ap.
