AS Sheriff. himself explains:
II started building model

I built my first plane from that
and I've been building them
ever since.

I don't feel that I'm neglect

The NOblemen's Union

So many fake peers have been cropping IN this country
marrying off the richest heress and signing the most ucra
tive testimonials that group of annoyed nobemen-the real
thing they sayhave decided to form Noblemans Union
The sympathy of the American public will of course go
out to them We all know that there scarcely enough
rich American girls around In New York. for instance
there are TOO 800 less genuine counts barons
dukes marquses and princes And you count the rich
girls still available your fingers.
As we gather it, the American heiress before giving her
heart and fortune the Earl of Saskatchewan call
the and find out quickly whether she's getting the real
thing for her money just imitation.
Truly, it is great idea.
And now that the noblemen have down to working
arrangement why don't they consider collective bargaining
etc? BY demanding body half million, say, for duke
million for prince, quarter million for count the
nobleman market could be very easily stabilized and there
wUud be of this Cut-rate business by which
qus Is somsmes compelled to sell his to unap
preciative girl for mere hundred thousand or so.

Local Appropriations

Considering all the conditions the District appropra
ton bill as finally passed by Congress is good as
could have been expected.
What merit the bill has, however comes about in spite
of the conditions under which it passed. and not be-
cause of those conditions.
The House of Representatives must blush it looks
at the bill and considers what it tried to do to defense
less people when it originally passed the measures.
DICTATED BY THE SPITE AND SILLY PREJU-
DICE OF ONE MAN THE ORIGINAL BILL WAS
DISGUSTING DISGRACE TO ANYBODY PRETEND
ING TO LEGISLATIVE ABILITY.
Those members of the House WItO, through their
Indifference or for lack of courage permitted the
bill to pass unchalLenged may be able to satisfy their
constituents back home that the measure didn't
mean anything much, but in their cOnSciences they
knOuU full lVeU that they Were guilty OF an GrrGnt
abdicGtiOn of a duty imposed upon them 6y the
Constitution.
The record of the Senate stands out in contrast to that
of the House the BILL
Faced with an almost maniacal desire to punish the
voteess taxpayers of Washington the Senate through
Senator Thomas and his colleagues, fought with ability
and courage to restore the bill to reasonable basis
In this they were largely successful although even
the determination of the Senate somewhat sacrificed
in order that the District might not have to subsis for
q year on mere continuing resolution
The Senate was forced to accept compromise on the
Federal Governments appropriation for the maintenance
Of it's National Capital compromise which reduced the
appropriation to the lowest since the adoption OF
the Districts organic act of 1873
DESPITE this reduction however and despite the fact
that the Federal Government will be paying only about
12 per cent of the of the local government whereas
it is bound by law to pay forty cent it will not be
necessary TO raise local taxes during the coming fiscal
year.
THAT IS SOMETHING AND THE INCLUSION IN
THE BILL OF A PROVISION FOR WHAT MAY
TURN OUT TO BE REAL STUDY OF THE FISCAL
RELATIONS PROBLEM IS EVEN MORE.

Black looks, WhlneS, poutS, con-
temptuous indifference.
Which, Brother, is exactly what
you asked for and deserve.
If you make a worm Of yourself
in this world, you will and should
be treated like one. If you double
cross yourself, you'll be double
crossed by the Other Fellow. If
you can't respect your own rights,
you need not expect anyone else
to do it for you.
LIKES THE DOGHOUSE
Why is Daddy in the DoghouSe?
That's why. You put yourself
there, Dad, before the home folks
ever did. You put yourself there
because you tackled a job and
then didn't go through with it.
You made a worker and a slave
of yourself, but never a Father
You gave your money-but you
never gave your companionShip,
your guidance, your intelligent, at
tention to this family you started.
You left all that up to Ma.
And now you wonder why she
and the children treat you as a
rather inefficient and decidedly
dull Domestic Accessory. What
else can you expect?
Take your home life as seri-
ouSly as you do your office job,
Dad, and you'll get the same re-
suits. Demand the service in your
home which you do in your office
be as concerned over the condi-
ton of your home as you are over
the condition of your office-and
you'll be surprised.
And here's another reason why
you're in the Doghouse, Dad. Be
lieve it or not, you really like that
DoghouSe. 1t gives you a lovely
chance to be sorry for yourself
and to blame all your failures on
your ornery relatives. It's a lot
easier to be a Martyr than a Mas
ter, Dad. that's why more peo-
pie squat in Doghouses than run
Dynasties. But if you've the spunk
of a woodtick, you'll get out and
get going!
For, with all your faults, you're
a great guy, Dad. Then why not
act the part?

nothing to do Edwin o. Hill
but arrange for the funeral
But, all at once, here's the old
chap sitting up and reaching for
his sceptre again. Exports for this
year are up over 80 per cent as
against the same period for last
year, and domestic Use is up 25 per
cent. Since the middle of May,
prices have risen SIS or Sc a bale.
There's a new stir in the textile
industry, and foreign markets
which we thought we had lost are
being recovered.
My interest in full-page ad-
vertisements of culottes, Slacks
and the like, showing a lot of
doggy new allure in cotton goods,
led me to check up on the re-
ported demise of the durable
old monarch and to discover
that if he was ever dead he was
only playing possum. There was
every reason to think for a while
that he was good and dead.
Brazil, with the failure of its
valorization plan in coffee, as
all such plans fail, sooner or
later, had plunged into cotton
growing in a big way. Our price
was artificially sustained in the
world market, with cotton grow
ers down to level of bare sub
sistence, and Brazil began saw
agely underwriting prices. Ian
cashire cotton mills always had
used our superior output. The
Brazil cotton was plainly in
ferior, but the price was so low
that in Lancashire they began
tearing out their old machinery
and installing plants which could
use the Brazilian product.
STILL A PUZZLE
Egypt, Turkestan and Persia
began bringing in vast yields.
Britain was all set to divert the
Blue Nile and develop a new
cotton empire in the Sudan when
MuSsolini, possibly temporarily,
delayed the enterprise. At any
rate, it was plain as a pikestaff
that King Cotton would be
smothered under a world ava
lanche Of cotton.
Prices were falling, and the
South was being chronicled as a
"decaying civilization" with its
mic foundations being
swept away.
I can't find anyone who can
give me clear idea as to just
what happened. Experts say the
increased use of cotton in mum,
tions making will not account for
the new demand; nor the rising
demand for cotton fibre in auto
mobile tires; nor the business en-
terprise which is tanning up cot
ton textiles by its attractive
variety of cotton garments. All
these together, say the knowing
ones, might give a partial explana'
ton, but the general increase in
world demand is still q puzzle.

The Human Side of the News = By Edwin C. Hill
By T. E. Powers

>guesSes." Walter 3. Pitkin wrote
a book as big as a piano crate
called, "a Short Introduction to
the History of Human Stupidity" !"
A Short Introduction to the His
tory of Human Fallibility" would
be as big as boxcar. There is
no aphorism so true as that which
says anything can happen and
probably will" An anthology of
profound, informed, StudiouS and
detached opinion which missed its
mark would be a startling indict-
ment of human judgment.
Many OF us remember the
whoopla with which the world
greeted the first nonsinkable ship
the Titanic. Engineers, build
ing it with watertight compart-
ments, had forever conquered the
perils of the deep. Bands played
and the crowds cheered, and the
Titanic sailed away. to sink, with
a tragic loss of life, on its first
trip, plugged by an errant and
uncharted iceberg-one of those
fortuitous elements which side
track human destiny, from wild
joker in 4 poker game to an ILL
considered utterance in a political
campaign.
Nobody ever could refute NAL
thus successfully when he was
proving that population was out
running food supply. But, today,
just the reverse has happened.
There's too much food. In the
1905, aerarian economists all
over America we're moaning over
the uncertainty that in three or
four decades we wouldn't be able
to raise enough wheat in America
to meet the demands of a larger
population. All that that came
to was the desperate, or, accord
ing to your viewpoint, fantistic,
expedients of the Government in
hiring farmers not to grow wheat.
FACT is THEORY
In the recent new era," econo-
mists, from Goldman-Sachs to
Herbert Hoover. proclaimed the
two-car, two-chicken millennium,
but before the postman could ring
twice it was all over and done
with. DR.. Thomas Nixon Carver,
head of the faculty of economics
of Harvard, wrote a book called
"The Present Economic Revolu-
ton in the United States" His
thesis was that we had forever
ended poverty. The ink on the
book was scarcely dry before the
depression hit and the breadlineS
formed.
The late Tad" Dorgan, bril-
liant cartoonist for the Hearst
newspapers, was one of the shreWd-
est non-professional philosophers
of his time. I remember one Of his
drawings especially pertinent to
these meditations. A chap had
been heaved out into the street,
from his apartment, with all his
furniture flying through the air
after him. A sympathetic and in1
dignant friend was saying:
"JOe, they can't throw you out
Tor not paying your rent.
But Joe had been thrown out.
Things do happen, regardless of
what anybody says or thinks. 1t
is, on the whole, an encouraging
thought. Cotton comes back, auto
mobiles make new selling records
and we are still a going concern
in spite or prophecies which no
body could challenge.
Spectators know this. They are
always playing the theoretically
impossible. Albert Einstein knows
it, too. He says he did what he
did by always challenging an
axiom"
