The Drought Conference.


Todays drought conference in Des
Moines is valuable in that it directs
public attention and thought, even for
the brief period of the conference, to
the subject under discussion. 1t as
sumes added prestige because of the
presence of the President of the United
States, who called this conference with
seven Governors, and there is an added
note of color because of the meeting be-
tween the President and Gov. Landon.
Those experienced in the uses of pub
licity and advertising know the benefits
to cause gained by bringing It, even
momentarily, under the national spot
light.
Aside from that, however, the practi-
cal benefits of such a conference may be
written down as practically nothing. The
President is meeting with seven Gov
ernors, all of whom, with one exception,
face political battles of varying intensity
in the November elections. Some of
them will doubtless be defeated. In none
of the seven States does the Legislature
meet until next January, and nothing
can be done in the enactment of drought
appropriations or conservation programs
until the Legislatures are in session. It
is probable that among the Governors
who attend today's conference will be
those who are not in a position, next
January, to present any program to the
Legislature.
The recent recommendations of the
drought committee, delivered to the
President at the beginning of his trip
West, showed plainly enough that any
longtime drought or water conservation
program is an intricate task that must
be shared jointly by the Federal Gov
ernment and the States. But before the
States are able to act intelligently Fed
eral legislation must be prepared and
presented to Congress. The whole scheme
of Federal participation in the program
must be definite, laid down in the nature
of proposition to the States. At Des
Moines the President is handicapped by
the lack of even an approved Federal
conservation program.
Gov. Landon's friends saw to the pub
lication, on the eve of the conference, of
the Governors own water-conserva
program which he laid before the Presi-
dent in 1884 and which took its place in
some Washington pigeon hole for future
reference. Although Gov. Landon was
speaking only for Kansas at that time,
his proposals were very similar in general
outline to one of the main themes
water conservation-of the general
drought program recently placed before
the President. If he submitted nothing
at todays conference except reiteration
of this program, he would be fulfilling
his part so far as concerns the sug-
gestion of practical methods of State
cooperation.

A Pittsburgh Judge went to Jail for
three days in order to learn exactly what
prisoners life is like. Having nothing
on his conscience and the privilege of
leaving at will, such an experience is
only superficial. The time involved is
not sufficient to wear of the novelty of
an exploration that is cheered by the
knowledge that cultivated and attentive
audiences await a description of an in
teresting adventure. Facts should not
encourage sightseers. There is already
disposition to forget that penal insti-
tutions ought always to be taken seri-
ously.

The Trotzky Case.

Having firmly and bravely declined to
yield to the Soviet Unions demand for
Leon Trotzy's expulsion from Norway,
the government of that sturdy little
country has decided to intern the former
Communist leader and, under rigid
guard, to hold him strictly incommuni-
cado as far as the outside world is
concerned. Lenin's once all-powerful
lieutenant will be kept under surveil-
lance on farm some thirty miles from
Oslo and live there with his wife under
the severest restrictions of his move
ments and activities. 1t will be virtually
impossible for him to conduct any sort
of dealings aimed at the destruction
Of the Stain dictatorship or in any
other subversive direction. Thus, for
all practical purposes, Trotzky's power
for undercover Vaccinations is now
definitely shackled, and the red czars
enthroned in Moscow may sleep more or
less peacefully at night. Norway has
gallantly preserved the long recognized
international tradition of asylum for
political refugees, but Trotzky, for all of
that, is rendered incapable Of exploiting
his safety on foreign soil as base of
operations for devious designs upon
another government.
The Soviets demand upon Norway for
Trotzky's banishment followed the recent
conviction and execution of group OF
anti-Stalin conspirators, headed by the
former Communist officials, zinovieff
and Kameneff, who had incriminated
their exile comrade in terroristic plot
tings intended to bring about the violent
overthrow of the present wielders OF
power in the U. s. s. r. Moscow's COM
munication limited in truculent terms
that Norway's continued harboring OF
Trotzky would imperil the friendly rela-
tions between the Oslo government and
the Soviet Union. 1t implies no scintilla
of sympathy with Trotzky or with polit-
ical agitators Of his stripe to commend
the Norwegians for their resolute stand
IN defense of the principle Of asylum,

glowing-almost as bright Is the old
fashioned sunhower!
Good yellows are none too common In
flowerdom. Especially in some families,
such as the tulips and others.
In the Darwin strain Of the former, for
instance. yellows are sadly lacking. This
lack was made UP for by using some
good yellows found in the cottage tulips,
which bloom at the same time.
Only during the last two or three
years has a really good all-over yellow
been seen in the gladioli.
Yellow Is not, therefore, q common
color any more than any other.
1t all depends upon where you find it.
The love for bright yellow flowers
seems to be universal Children and
their elders, connoisseurs and plain
back yard gardeners, all unite in an hon.
est admiration Of the radiance of such
tinted petals.
In flower combinations, especially for
vases, there are few more beautiful
groupings than yellow snapdragons and
blue delphinium.
Which is the important side of this
two-color arrangement, may be a ques-
e~o-~ "NSAA ooaASb out ~ IL oOlfcu 10 Lie
satisfaction Of others easily enough,
simply take away the yellow snap
dragons-and you will see the magic of
the combination vanish at once. If pale
pink gladioli are grouped with the snap
dragons, the result is still very charming
X
1t must be the yellow, therefore, which
gives the charm" and glamour" as the
movies say.
Yellow Is such satisfactory color
that many persons tend to be afraid of
1t. In this tendency they are aided and
abetted by an expressed belief, based on
quarter knowledge of psychology, that to
like yellow is to reveal things about one
self which ought not to be revealed. No
more absurd idea ever came out of the
Dark Ages, let alone the twentieth CEN
tury, but 1t has been expressed in all
sincerity.
The only way to counteract such es-
sential Stiffness is to defy it with plenty
OF yellow flowers on every hand. Surely
this is what most people do. Yellow
flowers are abundant everywhere, not
only because they are beautiful, but
mostly because they are easy to grow.
The yellow color of vegetables, such
as in the carrot, is the color OF the pro-
vitamin A, which, taken into the system,
becomes transformed there into vitamin
A itself.
There can be little doubt of the good
effect of this vitamin on the human sys-
TEN. Its action, according to the best
authorities, is to tone up the mucous
membranes everywhere in the system,
thus rendering and keeping them at the
proper state of moisture. 1t seems that
even inner membranes tend to dry out
as witness the beginnings of a cold, or
certain eye diseases. The good effects
on persons susceptible to colds, eye and
skin diseases may be noticed. Only re-
Gently the writer here saw a cat cured
completely OF eczema in a month by the
inclusion Of Is drops of carotene in cot
ton seed oil per day in the diet. To get
this much pro-vitamin A in carrots, one
would have to eat many bushels a day,
an obvious impossibility.
Maybe the birds are right, after all,
and know exactly what they are doing
when they eat seeds from those yellow
est of flowers, the sunfowerS.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,

The Price of Prominence.
Some day, if you will study hard, oh,
little barefoot boy,
And 60 without the pleasures youths
accustomed to employ;
If you will not go swimming or attempt
10 catch q fish,
But carefully refrain from gratifying
every wish,
Perhaps you may be President or, more
exalted still,
A hero at whose name a grateful popu-
lace will thrill.
Although your bill-of fare be scant and
from kitchen crude,
Fame may bring compensation for O
lack Of fun and food.
Perhaps they'll put up statues to pre-
serve your counterpart,
And critics will regard you as a menace
to true art.
The children at their books of fear will
never quite be rid;
They can't remember how you spelled
your name and what you did.
The mortal who performs his simple
duty day by day
May live in sweet contentment, missing
neither work nor play.
Though books and statuary may not
celebrate his fame,
He'll get his little tombstone and be
happy just the same.

Old and New.

Old days and new days
They seem so far apart.
We seem to get but few days
OF real old-time art.
Where is otd-time sentiment
And real old-time song
And pretty styles in clothes that went
So gracefully along?
And yet the crowds are smiling
At passing jest and show,
And fashions are beguiling
AS they were SO long ago.
The same old themes themselves renew
Mid censure or acclaim,
And old and new in long review
Are pretty much the same.
Jud Tunkins says one encouragement
to unemployment is the fact that 30

the Democratic ticket, the new order
now put out seems pretty fragrant, despite
the protest of Harry L. Hopkins and
others that politics are kept out Of the
w. p. A. Following rapidly on the
heels of the publication Of the Repub-
lican National Committee of secret
memorandum" issued by Mr.. Hopkins
apparently as a complete guide to the
art of propaganda, the order permitting
the workers to take time OF to vote Is
bound to cause q lot of conversation.
The Republican National Committee
called attention to the huge number
OF writer's who are being given employ
ment by the w. p. A. and who are ex-
pected to write about the benefits of the
w. p. A. as well as its activities and,
incidentally, the benefits of the Roose-
velt administration. The G. o. p. COM
mittee insists that this is Government

The appointment of Negro as mag

Myles A. Paige, Negro attorney living
In Harlem is to have the Job, under
appointment by Mayor La Guardia. The
Roosevelt New Dealers have been and
are making great play this year for
the support of the Negro voters in those
States of the North where the Negroes
vote and perhaps hold the balance Of
power in q close election. Paige might
have been selected for the post by La
Guardia irrespective Of the political
campaign. But La Guardia is regarded
as a supporter of Roosevelt and the
selection of Paige for this new ofice Is
likely to be regarded by the Negroes
as merely another manifestation of the
friendship which the Roosevelt admin
istration has for them. He Is already
hailed by many Of the colored voters
as "the man who fed them"
