Gov. Landon'S principal hurdle in his
race for the presidency may grow out
OF the state of business in September
and October.
He will center his attack on New Deal
spending as leading to the bankruptcy
OF the Nation. President Roosevelt in
tends to counter with the claim that Fed
eral spending filled the gap resulting
from slackening of private spending.
He will point to the state of business as
evidence of the effect of the policy. w.
F. A. workers will be pictured as the
principal group through which money
was syphoned into the stream of pur-
chasing power.
Ine Republicans will argue that
spending has raised the national debt

Mr. Roosevelt will reply that the in
crease IN the debt is cheap price to

income Is increasing rapidly. And, any

Nominee Landon will hold up the
threat of confiscatory taxes as the

While the Greenwich standard time
has been most widely adopted. it is by
no means universal. In 1888 Japan es-
tablished her own standard time. with
out reference to Greenwich. 1t is nine
hours faster than Greenwich time.
In Great Britain and the United
States people of the leisure classes have,
in many places. imposed time of their
own upon large sections of the people.
Indeed, at one time, it was imposed on
the entire United States. In England
1t is called Summertime; here it is called
daylight saving time. 1t is a rich mans
way of keeping time or, at least, it favors
him and works to the disadvantage of
the laborer. AS every one knows, the
United States has hot Summers, so hot
in cities that each year sees many deaths
and great suffering constantly. The
white collar man and the rich man
usually need not rise until or o'clock
in the morning. Some millions of less
fortunate workers must rise betimes,
must get up at about the only time In
the 24-hour cycle when it Is cool enough
to get rest and sleep.

She turned into her own driveway,
looked up at the big house which had
been her home. Already it had taken

she saw Robs Car in the driveway.

would find her real parents, give her

Tom Farley would be afraid to do
anything. Tom was little afraid OF
Rob, she'd always thought.
She parked her car and rushed up
the steps, and into the house. Rob
was in the library. He arose from a
seat near the fire and Anne sped to
him, found herself engulfed in tweed
clad arms The blessed safety Of

talk" she said. and looked up at him
as if wanting visible assurance of his
presence.

agreed. this place has thousand

trust my judgment, aren't you?
wouldn't you think me crazy if tried

and buggy? Same idea, when you're in
competitive business you have to use
modern methods. Well, here we are"
He parked the car but made no
move, and Anne, sitting beside him,
looked down on the house, white
against the fir trees. Lonely looking
this day. A hammer was pounding
somewhere inside, echoing dismally.
Anne" Rob spoke cautiously.
wouldn't you feel more at home in
the big house? You know we could
sell this easily because it's a modest
size and it won't be so easy to dispose
of the other place. It's bit old
fashioned and all, and you'll like to
keep the old servants with you,
wouldn't you?"
He had thrown his arm about her,
and Anne, weary and heartsick, was
curled into the nest it made, trying to
find the strength she would need to
face this last trial.
About the first thing I'd do," he
went on, rs run that crowd out. They

Anne, what are you saying?" Rob
had taken his arm from her shoulders
and had turned to look at her in in
credulous surprise.

There's something wrong, some

after we were engaged that he wanted
me to learn the business thoroughly
