HOPES LIFE SPAN WILL
BE HEIGHTENED

BY David Horn
Why is it that when a person is
murdered the news is flashed at
once in first page newspaper head
lines, while the same newspapers
do not print a word about the total
number of persons who are being
murdered every day by starvation,
hunger, restitution, misery and de-
spair?
In the long run, are mortars
chances of going to heaven in any
way affected by the particular con-
ditions under which he meets his
death? If it is justifable, after all,
for society to spend millions of dol
lars, if need be, for experimenting
and Furnishing somebody who killed
but one person, how much money
and energy would it be worth
spending in order to discover and
bring to justice that monster who
kills 95 per cent of those who die?
The vast majority of us, surely
do not apparently live three score
and ten" There appears to be nc
reason why a certain Turk was re-
ported a few years ago to be over
100 years of age while the vast ma
jority should die from disease ra-
Their than mere old age.
If one person can manage to at
tain old age, is there any reason
why the majority of the rest could
not?

SUGGESTS SELLING FARMS
TO UNEMPLOYED

BY H. v. Allison
The Happy Brown Derby Warrior
is fading into oblivion by fighting
the principles he advocated for
years. And the outburst ON the
President and the New Deal shows
he overlooked the progress made in
the recovery in business. banking
and relief.
Too, he failed to offer any plan
to take the place of the New Deal.
The Liberty League would be Raw
Deal for the common people.
The President has tried to help
all. In SO doing he has been mis-
led by incompetent aides on many
plans.
A great mistake is curtailing and
destroying crops and paying the
farmer not to till his ground. Farm
product prices are mounting to a
prohibitive price, paving the way to
disaster should we have another
drought equal to last year.
The New Deal took over wreck
when it got control Of the govern
ment. 1t took quick action. There
were mistakes, due to expensive re-
lief. With business of normal OF
better it is time to find a place for
the worthy unemployed who are
destitute by no fault of their own.
That place can be found in the ru-
raj districts.
Instead of retiring the land, make
it possible to buy small farms with
government aid and the problem will
be solved.

A FELLOW CITIZEN:

1Oung-pernapS ~ or 2o-he
boarded street car way out E.
Westinghouse at about in the
morning. He was smoothly shaven,
neatly dressed and was carrying a
travelling bag and a cornet case.
He stepped on the car first, ahead
of three others. He shuffled his
bags and finally got to a pocket be-
low the overcoat, pulled out bill,
got his change, put it back into his
pocket and adjusted his coat.
Then he went on to the back of
the car. Once on the way his COR
net case banged lady's arm, but
he didn't notice it. She appeared
not to. He sat down in the Sec
ond from the last seat on the right
side of the car
He put his two bags on the seat
beside him and settled back. On
the rear crescent seat a man was
smoking. In the seat ahead of him
a woman sat. On the seat behind
him man sat, reading paper.
ME young man lifted his pow
dered nose in the air and
shifted smoke. He turned and
fused with the window. He raised
it, putting a gale of near-zero wind
on the woman's neck, and catching
the man behind unaware with his
overcoat opened.
The woman turned around. He
bluShed.
There's man smoking, you
know" he explained.
She said, oh"
The man behind quickly moved
across the aisle.
The young man lowered the win
dow.
Nearer town the car filled and
two women were standing up front.
He did not move to clear the seat
beside him of the grips.
He left the car at Washington
and Meridian-sts. Bouncing off the
car, he swung north on Meridian.

Old houses bruise me with their

Their chimneyS are sharp pain

A murky twilight sky.
They seem to know the answering

MACHINE SOLVES
 ALCEBRAIC COPY

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 7-(UP)- A mathematical machine capable of solving intricate algebraic problems has been developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 The machine, said to be capable of solving nine simultaneous linear algebraic equations involving nine unknowns, was built and designed by Dr. John B. Wilbur of the schools engineering department.
 Institute officials said the "simul- taneous" calculator, designed for simple solution of complex mathe- matical engineering problems such as those arising in the building of skyscrapers and bridges, probably would save days of calculation in the ordinary manner.
 Construction of the machine, which weighs one ton and has more than 13.000 separate parts. was made possible by a fund established by Sir Douglas Alexander of New York.
 Scientific announcement of the new calculator will be made in the journal of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, an institute report said.

Board Informs
 Tax Payers Of NewValuations
Assessors to Receive Ap- peals at Hearings Dur-
 ing Coming Month

Several thousand persons owning personal and real property have been notified that increases in valuation in their holdings have been put into effect by the board of assessors.
 Many of the notifications did not arrive by mail until today. The board of finance suddenly, on Fri day, found $2,O0O,000 of an increase in the grand list upon which to base its tax rate and a raise in pay for city employees.
 The board of assessors will sit all this month to receive appeals or remonstrances against the increased valuations. Whether the previously reported half-million dollar de- crease in the grand list and the Sub- Sequent increase of $2,000. 900 in the grand list has anything to do with the many notices sent out by the board of assessors is the question being asked.
 Town Chairman John H. Crary, Q member of the assessors board, stated today that the increases in inventories on various stores and the added valuations on property holdings are in the usual line of gradual growth in the amount of taxable assets in the city.
 The board of relief will meet dur ing January to hear appeals from the valuations placed by the board of assessors.
