Refuse to talk to a newspaper
man when he calls to see you and
you may be sure he will write the
story anyhow and it may be much
less to your liking than the one
he would have written had you
talked with him in a friendly way.
In fact, under the latter circum-
stances, he would let you see the
story after he had written it, and
accept any reasonable correction
you might wish to make. You
would find him willing also. to
help you get your ideas across eff
fectively.
The newspaper man is employ
ed to get the news. That is his
religion, and in that respect he
is fanatically religious. The creed
of his clan puts him on the spot
to get the dope. So does the city
editor. He regards it as his sac
red duty to get the news; so if
you cooperate courteously with
him in discharging his sacred
duty, he will be appreciative of
your kindness.
OF course if one is in politics,
that is something else. Politics is
war. There are newspapers which
may be fair in everything except
politics, but which, unfortunately,
may not know how to be fair in
politics. They twist and distOrt
the facts to mislead the public; ;
they hit below the belt; they
gouge; they put spiders in dump

The best way to keep a news

which you do not want published
and which you think he may be

If he accepts your confidence he
will not betray it, unless he hap

there are not many in the tribe.
Newspaper reporters have a keen
sense of fair play. They are not

late ourselves on the ability to
stage a great comeback.
It likely would be an easy mat
ter for the bank to boost its de-
posts up to a million but with a
banker in this era there is a ques-
ton as to the advisability Of en-
Couraging a mass of small de-
posts. Banks used to get all the
deposits possible and then borrow
CHEAP money from outside sources
to lend to their customers. This was
their method of making money.
Lending money was based to a
large extent on reputation, char
acter and confidence rather than
the volume Of collateral the Dor
rover could put up. The loaning
business has been reversed. In
stead of borrowing from the out
side to lend to local customers the
money of local customers is in
vested largely on the outside.
There is demand for local loans
but changes in banking habits
render it difficult to lend with
safety-with sufficient gilt-edge
securities to guarantee repay
ment of the loans.
Very little banking is done on
reputation and character as was
formerly the rule. Although the
depositor is secured by banking
insurance the banker necessarily
must exercise great care TO pro
tect the bank against losses. This
takes a great deal of JOY out Ct
banking with a large personal ele-
ment involved. This makes 1t q
difficult task though much SAFER
one than a few years ago. Bank
ing. is now more mechanical.
Deposits just little short Of
a million speak well for TIE bank
and the. community which it
serves. The purchasing and trai-
ing power of our people is rapidly
growing stronger.

WJASHINGTON.-Along with its
w other troubles. the administra-
ton must almost certainly face a
battle over relief at this session Of
Congress.
Its program apparently isn't
meeting the problem. Surveys by
tho American Conference Of May
ors the international City Man
ayers Association, and national
welfare srcpps all show that the
plan tc put the "employables" on
WPA EC.k relief and the "unem-
ployables" on local direct relief
without federal aid just isn't work
ing out.
About a million "employables"
haven't been covered by WPA, al
though that federal agency has
about reached its quota Of 100000
put at work, 1t is estimated by
Paul V. Betters. secretary Of the
mayors organization, on the basis
of partial results OF survey cover
ing 1SS cities and rs states.
That would mean load of
from three to four million men,
women, an. children on commu-
nifty direct-relief facilities which
was not contemplated in Roose-
velt's work-relief program.
Nearly all city officials insist
they cant handle that added load.
A few say they can get by if the
federal government will do its
promised part. Others say they
can't handle their "unenploy-
ables" even if WPA does take
over the rest.
EEW realize it, but the $780,
= 100000 allotted to WpA will
be about gone by April and Harry
Hopkins will need about half o
billion more If the program is to
carry through the fiscal year to
July.
Some or all of this may be
snatched from other allotnents

SCaElScE HAS sCoFFED AT BLEAK
DEPRESSION -
by BRUCE CATTON)

Ask almost anybody what KIND OF ume
the United States has had in the last five Oh
six years and he will tell you that they
were dead and hopeless years in which
nothing was brought forth but misery.
The wheels all ran down and stopped,
in those half dozen years, and time stood
still while men gathered by the ashes Gt
burntout dreams. That, anyhow, is the way
most of us size them up. -
But things did happen, somehow, dur
ing that dead and hopeless time, to make
the business of living easier and more
pleasant. We have great many things to-
day that we did not have six years ago;
and in some way they all came into exist
ence in those years which the locust has
eaten.
Suppose you go travelling, for instance.
You can ride on new, streamlined, smoke
less, and dustless trains which will get you
to your destination faster and more COM
fortably than any train in existence In
1929. If you don't get on one OF these
trains, your ordinary Pullman is very like
" to be air conditioned, free from grit anu
SCOT, replete with new gadgets.
If you don't go by train at all, you have
other advantages You can fly from New
York to San Francisco in a day, or take
an aerial sleeper, going in far greater CON-
fort and safety than you could have done
in 1929. If you drive your own car, it is
better car than you could have had IN
1929, it costs you less money to buy and
operate, the roads over which it rolls are
better, and the tourist accommodations en-
route have been improved.
Suppose you build your own home;
there, too, you can get more for your mon
ey than you could have gotten six years
ago. New materials have been adapted for
your use, new household appliances have
been devised, new designs have been evolv-
ed-all to the end that the house you buy
can be a more comfortable place to live
in.
In the food you eat, similar improve
ments have taken place. 1t is easier TO
keep fresh fruits and vegetables on your
table all the year round. The vitamins
your body needs can be obtained in bot
ties or pills, if you don't care to get them
in your food:
The very packages in which your food IS
wrapped are more scientifically designed
to keep it fresh.
Such improvements have been made all
along the line. There are new textile fab
rics for your clothing; the range OF your
telephone has been increased; your radio
is better instrument, and some OF the pro-
grams that come out of it have even been
improved little; your doctor and your
dentist have increased scientific knoWl-
edge at their command; new books ana
magazines have been produced to give you
intellectual and emotional stimulus.
These things are the gift of those half
dozen dead years; years that were full OF
misery and despair for a great many peo-
pie, but years in which, nevertheless, the
great work of knocking the rough edges
off life was carried forward as steadily
and intelligently as in any other six years
in our history.

THE SUPREME COURT

Before you express an opinion, before you have
anything to say about what should or should not be
done, before you permit yourself to be influenced
either by personal considerations or political infu
ences or otherwise, one should study some lines
from the opinion handed down by the supreme
court:
"There should be no misunderstanding as to the
function of this court 1t is sometimes said that
the court assumes mower to overrule or control

The Junior Woman's Club held a
very interesting meeting last night
with a large attendance at the home
oh Miss Betsy Rose Jones, on Belle
street, with Miss Jones, Mrs. Robert
Tanner, and Miss Lillian Gholson, as
hostesses.
The club voted donations to the
Red Cross Relief fund and to the
Child Welfare Association for the
playground-project. They also en-
dorsed the Free Natal Clinic, furn-
ished by the state upon endorsement
of number of civic clubs. The pos
sibility of the success of June Ger
man for this year was discussed but
no definite plans were made.
The program subject for the even
ing was on citizenship and was COM
prised of splendid talk by Miss Lii
liam Gholson on What Good Citizen
Should Contribute to a Community"
She spoke of the civic, religious, and
neighborly duties of a good citizen
and she brought out a timely sug-
gestion, that good citizenship, practic-
ed in driving automobiles, would
greatly improve the safety OF our
highways.
At the conclusion of the meeting
the hostesses served light refresh
ments.
