STORIES FROM THE NEWS

Studio writers are turning more often than ever to newspaper head lines for their story plots. Today 12 pictures are scheduled, or are in production, as flicker approxin1a- tions of news events.
 "The Road to Glory" is all about the recent war scare in Europe.
 "Mob Rule" deals with lynchings. This one may be Q little belated, but some new scandal doubtless will pop up to lend 1t timeliness. ''Moun- tain Justice," of course, is the Edith Maxwell murder case. The mine res- cue excitement in Nova Scotia is to be perpetulated in "Draegerman's Courage"

q final decision for this effect They decided to face
the unpleasant task of paying for 1t them themselves.
For the third successive time sicce the war they
elected parliament ma jority of whose members
are Socialist and Communists of one kind or an
other. Thus far, however, they have not had even
a mildly Socialistic government since none of these
radical groups has constituted majority in itself
and they have been unwilling to combine with one
another to take control. Now they have agreed
to work together and accept the responsibility of
government.

posite to Tascism 1t is based on the theory that
prosperity for the people of France must be found
chiefly within France and not abroad. They propose
to reform" the Bank of France, to nationaze the
munitions industry, to take the profits out of war;
and to nationalize the insurance companies, rail-
roads, power companies and public utilities
Where is the prosperity for the people of France
in that program? Nobody can say; certainly not
until it has been attempted Russia, because of
differing conditions, offers no real analogy If it
actually is attempted by France it will be during the
same period that Italy is attempting to obtain pros

French radical leaders can point to Frances own
African possessions-which would seem to be more
valuable than the territory Mussolini is taking-to
make their argument against seeking prosperity in
this manner. But they may be wrong as to Italy.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs, Walter Ferguson


A usual the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton went on record at their national con-
vention as opposing any alteration in the American
form of government We have grown used to this
yearly custom.
To be consistent, however why don't they call
themselves THE Sisters of the Status Quo?" The
word revolution" being anathema, one wonders
how they can endure to see it printed on their
stationery.
Yet most of these women have lived through such
revolution as man never before witnessed. Dur
ing the lifetime of the midde-aged members the
electric light has replaced the coal oil lamp the
automobile has junked the spring wagon and civil
lied man has welcomed the telephone, Inc moving
picture. the airplane and the radio
In the face of all this isn't it ridiculous to fear
change in the mental processes of men and women
as they move forward into new world made pos
sible by such swift material progress?
The Daughters, as we know, are dead set against
all pacifist movement; they say so in no uncertain
terms. Riding contentedly in their lmousines,
where their forefathers once logged uncomfortably
on horseback, they argue that relationship with
other nations must rest on the same ideals which
maintained it in TITS.
The good ladies of the D. A. r.. excellent Amer
leans as they fancy themselves to be- are not noble
replicas of their sres who resisted the redcoats to
the death. They resemble more those foolish stub-
born few who battied the railroads in their ad-
vance across the continent.

evtable as change in our method Of transporta-
ton. Man is what he thinks; not what he does

~ pearing daily this week on Page One of the
Second Section of The Times.
In Living in House on Wheels" George H.
Denny, former member of The Times staff tells
of the amazing growth of a new social phenomenon.
1t is the house trailer the modern covered wagon.
Roger W. Babson the economist, predicted re-
Gently that half the population Of the United States
would be living in automobile trailers within 20
years.
That may or may not be exaggeraton. Certainly,
few took the forecast seriously.
Yet the figures show approximately 25oOoo of
these camp trailers already in USE The esti mated
number of persons living in them-75o OoO-is ripple
the number of year ago.
IF the numbers continue to triple in like periods
we will be talking Of the trailer millions in year"
writes correspondent 1T will be Big Business
II it isn't already"
sign that 1t is Big Business is that the big auto
mobile makers are cycling the field. Today more
than 200 small manufacturers dominate the business
and are pushing expanded plants to overtime
capacity.
THE lure of living in portable house is easily
4 understood 1t is rolling, carefree life No
fares. No expensive hotels.
Stop where the swimming or fishing is good and
the climate agreeable Florida, Mexico or California
In the winter; northern lakes, the Northwest and
Canada in the summer.
IA. Travel for less than staying at home" is
compelling argument.
And the life of the modern trailer fan has few
hardships. Up-to-date traers contain most of the
comforts of home. All-metal, streamined designs
are replacing the box-like contraptions of few
years ago.
ME significance of this movement can not be
overlooked Caravan cars appeared in Eng
land shortly after the war 1t took the depression
to boom the house trailer in America Then people
began buying homes wheels as cheap and in
terestng way to live and travel.
Many of these wanderers stop at trailer camps
an offshoot of the tourist camp industry Others,
like their pioneer forefathers with the original COW
ever nightfall finds them.
Suppose the auto trailers multiply until there
is vast floating population on wheels as predicted
Trailer camps of today would become trailer cities
and towns. There would be problems of manage
ment, policing and sanitation.
What about taxes to support units of govern
ment if people pulled up stakes and took to the
road? There would be countless other problems.
Some would see all this as a blow to the American
home
Certainly the possibility however remote it might
now seem is reasonable enough to warrant close
attention to the movement.

A BABY'S first eight weeks are
4 n perhaps the most difficult in
it's entire life, because curing this
period particular care not only OF
the child, but of its mother, is in
volved.
For the first three or four weeks
after the baby's birth, the mother
should watch her diet and hygiene
carefully. She should avoid high
ly seasoned foods and those which
are found to be associated with
indigestion for either herself or the
baby.
She should drink plenty of fluids
especially milk. Regularity Of
bowel action may be assured by
taking suitable amounts of water
fruits, vegetables, and cereals in the
diet.
Overindulgence in alcohol and
smoking is certain to be harmful

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ

VX7AsHINGTON, May 5.-An
W amazing series of experiments
in which extremely high sound
waves caused liquids to grow lurni-
nescent and shine with visible light
have been reported by DR.. L. A.
Chambers of the johnson Founda-
ton.
Fourteen of So liquids tested were
found to behave in this way. Water
was one of them.
The light thus generated was
found to be most intense in the case
of glycerol and nitrobenzol. Sound
waves ranging from 1000 to 5000
cycles per second were used.
The amazing phenomenon is a
complete mystery for which no ade-
quate explanation is available.
DR.. Chambers said that partial
explanation could be obtained by
assuming that the molecules of the
liquids were arranged in micro
scopic crystals resembling those
known to exist in solids. Sudden
distortion of these crystals by the
sound waves might excite the mole
cules to vibrations which would re-
suit in the generation of visible
light.
There has been evidence from
other experiments to support the
notion that the molecules of many
liquids, including water. are ar
ranged actually in crystal forma-
TORS.

man can hardly drive a car let alone
one that is drinking.

WRITER RAPS MORRISSEY
ON PLAYING POLITICS

BY John J. Ray
Is Chief of Police Morrissey play
ing politics even when it comes to
question of life and death? Then
he is most certainly unfair to the
constituents of this city, for he
should have the best interests of
the city at heart, and as a member
of the Board of Safety it is his
duty to protect the citizens of the
city, be they pedestrians or mo-
florists.
There has been an appropriation
of $4,000 for new dog pound, but
the city is too poor to protect hui
man lives by putting up new traffic
stop-and-go lights at strategic
points. There is one locality in
particular on the East Side that is
being neglected, and that is at Bev-
ille-av and 4. New York-st.
Now what more demand could
there be for aid in accident pre-
vention, besides, of course, those lit
tie yellow crosses that the chief is
to have painted where auto ia
talities have occurred, than to have
had one hit-and-run victim, and
numerous auto collisions, two of
them within the past week, at this
particular corner? 1t is high time
that the chief quit his political
wrangling over the next sheriff and
get down to the business Of at
tending to the safety of the law
abiding citizens.

wonders if people who adopt this
stand have ever heard of the
services rendered to Americas pro-
ductive system by the migratory
worker.
This country is dotted with in
dustries which, of necessity, oper-
ate spasmodically. For a few weeks
or months such industries need a
large number of workers; there
after-for the rest of the year, in
many cases-they need very few.
They have been able to operate
only because of the existence of a
great many workers who roam half
way across the continent in the
course of a year, drifting from one
brief job to another, collecting pay
checks in half a dozen states in
the course of six months.

THINKS RELIEF COULD BE
MADE BETTER
BY HI. L. :

BY HI. L. S.
The petty crimes that may have
crept into the WPA are insignifi-
cant compared to the extravaganza
waste of public funds represented
by the use of man power with
shovels to grade roadways, where a
machine could be used at COM
parative trif1e of the hand labor
cost. The number of roads could
have been multiplied many times,
if a small degree of intelligence
were used in connection with this
so-called public work.
This tragic waste is due to the
folly of our ignorant business lead
ership, that forces those on relief
to be employed at mon competing
enterprises.
Business for profit is a sacred
COW, SO no relief work is permitted
that would create commodities for
the use of those on relief. These
necessaries could be created by
the relief labor at a trif1e of the
cost demanded by private business.
Business is mooching when it
must be supported by relief funds.
The only reason for unemployment
is the failure of business to meet
the customer on a basis of service,
on a cost basis that will enable con-
sumption at full capacity of produc-
ton.
Depression is nothing less than
utter failure of business to meet
public need. 1t is confession of in
ability and incompetence. If bust
ness were really competent there
would be no unemployment or any
need for the WPA dole. But WPA
does not make up for this in
competence or solve the problem of
unemployment.
The people on relief must organ
lie into production units to supply
their own needs, or the government
must organize them into such units.
Lack of leadership among this
group is responsible for their meek
acceptance Of relief as a substitute
for Socialized production.
This is not a temporary matter. 1t

METAMORPHOSIS

cocoons which we have made,
OF dry and dusty leaves of lone
illness
And silken strands of awkward shy
ness laid
In strings pushed down and woven

Forth we shall creep-in gowns of

With feathery feelers taut for every

But you Of the gayer world will not
behold
Our gentle flight. nor see to whence
we flew.
