ImmeasurabIe Resources

It is well known that the United States is richer in natural resources than any other country in the world. Yet we sometimes get worried about the supply because we think of such things as defi. nite and limited. This is short-sighted view, says pr. Walton H. Hamilton, direc- tor of the Bureau of Research for the Social Security Board.
 "It is not a scarcity of natural resources, but method of turning them to account, which stands in the way Of a standard of American living finer than has been dreamed of," he says. We have thought of Nature, at her best, as stingy, offering man just so much, and ignoring him when that is gone. But actually natural resources are not fixed. They vary with the changes in our thinking and living"
 Evidences of this truth are all around. We may use up our iron, but we turn to aluminium and other metals of which our ancestors knew nothing. Petroleum may give out, but we can make oil and gaso- line from coal, whose supplies are almost limitless. Chemists are continually dis covering new fruits, vegetables and grains, new materials for houses and clothing. Our greatest resources are not natural, but human. We have hardly begun to exploit the resources of the human mind

Setting of a Star

The funeral of Thomas Meighan last Saturday was remarkable tribute to a man whose professional life was never marked by single character blemiSh nor hint of scandal or conduct unbecoming first gentleman of the screen and stage. Most of us knew Thomas Meighan as movie actor, leading man supreme. Per- llaps his greatest success was attained in this particular role, but long before he rose to the heights in silent movies, the name of Meighan was byword on the stage.
 Thomas Meighan was leading man and a star in his own right before he deserted the stage for the screen. Like his stage career his rise to the top in the screen world was slow and accom- plished by dint of much hard work and attention to detail. It could never be said of Meighan that he endeavored to cut corners or skip across lots to arrive at his destination. He was always will ing to follow the hard road, because he knew that the fruits of victory thus attained were always the sweeter.
 It might be imagined that Tom Meighan with his immense box-office attraction as a matinee idol and later success in the movies would have become one of those persons for whom most men seem to acquire a distinct loathing. It was never that way with Meighan. He was just as well liked by the male side of the audience as the female. But he was such a virile character, good-looking in lle-man sense of the word, that there was bound to be appeal for men and women alike.
 . And his triumphal reign over the Lambs Club as Shepherd was further proof of the fact that his was a conta- gious personality. He was the first screen actor to head this famous organ tzation. To the day of his death his name was held in highest esteem within It's portals. Incidentally local alumni of Mt. St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, Md, can claim allegiance with Meighan, as he started his college career there with the intent of becoming doctor. The stage called him, though, and the stage remained his first love. We're sorry there wasn't more of Meighan in the "talkies". He surely retained his box. office attractions, even as he did his good looks and his self-respect, his innate ynodesty, and friends everywhere.

Complaints in Order

There is bound to be general resent ment among the motoring public of the state over the fact that the inspection of automobiles will not cease tomorrow as announced recently. Originally the tests were to be concluded last week. Then the time limit was extended to Tuesday, so that the late-comerS might have a chance to get under the wire and escape any penalties. But now 1t develops that the tests will continue indefinitely or, we presume, until every motorist in the state has had his or her car properly checked and approved.
 In view of the weather of last week Z during which both motorists and in- spectors labored under adverse conditions to comply with the Motor Vehicle Depsrt- ment's mandate we think that it is only natural that good many people would get bit sore over the fact that they put themselves out in the broiling sun in order to get their cars approved within the legal limit. Of course the depart ment can point out the fact that all this would have been avoided had every mo- torist not waited until the last minute.
 That's true. For our delinquency we usually have to pay in some form or another. Last week it was in being sub jected to the trying conditions of heat wave. But we still feel that there might be just reason for some resentment. There really ought to be definite date set for the closing of all inspections and that date should be observed no matter if more than half of the motorists of the state have complied with the law or not. It's good way to find out if the depart ment can demand that motor vehicles live up to certain specifications the year round.

must be made to provide new cover for the soil, in the hope that the climate Is not really changing and that, when this dry spell is past, normal rainfall may return. But obviously man must adapt himself to the situation.
 What the government is trying to do, the President explains to the press, is to change the economy of the afflicted region. With suitable change of crops and methods, it will still support popu- lation, though not so large in some areas as heretofore. Much of the land, obvi- ously, is no longer suitable for wheat. It is useless to continue year after year, spending large sums in an effort to con- tinue wheat-growing, where the water table steadily sinks.
 But in most of the region, grass of suit able type can still be grown. Old varieties are known and new ones have been de- veloped or imported from abroad. Meat is as important as grain. Cattle-raising may become again source of wealth on millions of acres whose owners are now in despair And to some extent, no doubt, field and garden crops can be renewed.

If it isn't one thing, it's another And what with the hot weather and every thing, we don't know what long suf- fering populace is going to do about 1t: It's the maple trees that are endangered now. It was bad enough when we learned that our beautiful elm trees were liable to be destroyed to prevent the spread of the Dutch elm disease, but If we must lose elns and naples both, what will happen then. They consti- tute the most beautiful and useful of our Connecticut shade trees. And in addi- ton the maple is a source of naaple-sugar in many of ouI outlying towns, although not included among the major industries of the state. Maple trees have been at- tackled by fungus disease called ample wilt. Wiiting of the leaves on a single branch are the outward symptoms. How ever, an expert is usually required to detect the disease. Little is known of the maple wilt except that the state has 1t and many trees are succumbing.

A Book a Day
Heart Warming Tale of a College Town
 nv RRYYrM CAPTION

Tn "village Chronicle" (Farrar & Rinehart: S2.60), James McCon- naughey announces himself as q novelist worth watching. For he has written Q fine, unpretentious story of 6 small town and has shown that he understands people, likes them, and knows how to put them into Q book.
 His story deals with 6 university town in North Carolina, and 1t tells of a great many peoples doctor, a newspaper owner, divers profess sors, Q girl in Q beauty shop, a mirl- ister, some students, and so on. And all these people somehow come out of the page and take on reality. which is a trick precious few of our smart young novelists can quite manage.
 The book is chiefly concerned with Q hot-headed young tnstruc- tor in the university English de- partment; an intense youth who was born to tilt at windmills and who never has to hunt very long to f1no one.
 A student writes for the univer- sity magazine a story which, be- ing somewhat in the Erskine Cald- well vein, shocks the daylights out of town and gown alike. Then. as is that were not enough, 1t is learned that the student has cole ored blood. (This happens In North Caroline, rernember)
 Our young instructor rides for this windmill with fine fervor, takes up the cudgels for the offending student, and very nearly gets him. self ridden out of town on Q raii.
 But just as he seems to have ruined his career irretrieyably, his wife becomes critically i'll; and then the warm sympathy of town and university comes to his aid, the business of. the student is 1or- gotten, and before he knows it the instructors woes are settled-illog- ically, but satisfactorily.
 It all makes first-Fate reading.

sistently were the oflcials of the Navy. And usually they won.
 Only way to beat the Control- Ter General is through the courts. Aside from this there is no ap- peal, not even to the President. Naturally court suits are long and expensive. But when the Navy fought 1t out, usually it proved McCarl wrong.
 Latest case was handed down last week by Q U. S. District Court in Baltimore. Judge Wil- Ham 0. Chestnut awarded S3,0O0 to Lieut.. Commander Leo A. Ketterer. f
 McCarI had ordered . stop payment on Q maintenance als lOwance to Ketterer's mother. The naval ofiicer claimed thst this was valid since he was . bachelor and had Co support her. The court upheld him.
 But meanwhile his mother had died. Nine long years had dragged by. Many New Deal emergencies drought relief, cattle buying, rec settlement = cannot walt that long.

There are 175,0o0 separate governing agencies in the United States, according to report of the National Resources Committee to President Roosevelt. If the President is wise he will issue dictum ordering at least half of these existing little governments to cease operations, as the committee report shows that many of them have been subdivided to the extent that the various divisions are working in conflict. By little governments we do not mean merely branches of the federal gov- ernment. The total figure given above includes federal, state, and local. Quite a figure. Let's save money by dropping some.

HIKERS (Elizabeth Fleming in the Christian Science
 Monitor) Now in the summer weather, No day draws out too long, When you and together Can foot 1t to song When with the brown road under. We walk the country wide, And feel its golden wonder From dawn to eventide. The highways and the byways Stretch ever fair and new When your ways march with my ways, And I keep step with you The miles ahead minimizing AS friend may walk with friend And when it's over, finding A hostel at the end.

JENKINS OPENS
ASSAULT ON
SPEED RECORDS

BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS,
Utah, Sept. Z. W.R)-Ab Jenkins,
Utah speed king, began a 48-hour
assault on world automobile speed
records today in his huge, stream
lined racing car, Mormon Meteor.
Jenkins flashed across the start
ing line at 6:04 a. m. psf.
The weather was clear and warm
and otherwise ideal for jenkins
speed test, in which he hoped to
shatter virtually every existing rec
ord up to 48 hours.
Start of the speed dash came after
several weeks delay, occasioned by
transforms which kept the vast
natural speedway soggy with mois-
ture.
He used the same 10 mile oval
over which Capt. George E. T
Eysnton of England cracked two
score world automobile records sew
eral weeks ago.
The Utah ace was concentrating
on shattering the "a hour mark OF
149.096 set by Eyston.
Babe Stapp of Los Angeles, who
has been listed with the nations
foremost competitive speed drivers
for a decade or more, arrived al
the course early today to relieve
Jenkins at the wheel of the snub-
nosed Mormon Meteor when he re-
quires relief.
Stapp's participation in the dasf
represented a last-minute change oi
plan.

LONDON, Sept. 7. W.P)-England,
especially London, is a never fail
ing source of delight for those of
us who make a hobby of collecting,
so to speak, new and novel sports.
Your Englishman is not satisfied
with cricket, soccer, rugby and rae
ing but is ever on the alert for a
new pastime at which to spend his
leisure time.
The latest sport to grip England
(and it has caught on just as quick
ly as "Nightingale-listening to" did
several years ago. is "squealing up.
As is nearly always the case in Lon
don, the sport was found on the
letters to the editor page Of The
Times. A gentleman had an idea
he wrote in, the letter was published
and the game was born.
would not be surprised if
"squealing up" eventually became
very popular i'm America for it is
simple and educational and yet
carries a full measure of thrills
and danger. Explained simply,
the sport consists of nothing more
than gCing out to the woods and
"squealing up" or calling wild
animals to your side by making
noise, which appeal to them. In
his letter to The Times, the
founder said that at first he
