Pines, N. c., whose work Is vastly
different from that Of Mr.. Mastro-
Valerie. Miss SWEET, whose work
Is exclusively drypoints, devoteS
herself entirely to depicting the
southern pines-either the lone
tree, or a single bow or an entire
landscape in the pine country.
Although she, too, is compare
lively new to the field Of print
making, she demonstrates an eX-
pertnesS in her particular line
that has already been recognized
in many high quarters.
Her entire part of the show be-
ing devoted to pine tree prints, it
is interesting to note that she
digresses once, but only once. from
this subject. The depression is a
lovely Rockport harbor scene,
which illustrates that If Miss
SWEET had a mind to she could
do very well with marine subjects.
Miss SWEET has exhibited in
many of the outstanding print
shows during the last two years,
including the Society Of American
Etchers in New York. Her print,
1.-THE Florida Pines" was chosen
from the exhibition Of that society
as one Of the Hundred Prints Of
the Year." Her Long Leafed
Pines" was shown this year with
the Seventeenth International
Print Makers Exhibition in Los
Angeles.
In addition, Miss SWEET Is repre-
Sented in the Library Of Congress
and in many public and private
collections.

sion in Edith Wharton's new col
lection "The World Over"

that strange quality that made

with q question that you must
answer for yourself. Others "tel

And the entire group IL written
In double quick time.
Mrs. wharton has little love for
descriptions, but she has tales to
tell, and, in the telling, she losses

His aquatints are principally

famous romantic figures, Sylvester
Plumlee. 63-year-old W. P. A. worker.
was "honeymooning" today with what
he said was his tenth wife.
Plumlee, lifelong resident of
Richland County, added to his record
breaking matrimonial career by his
marriage last night to Mrs. Viola Mar
tin, 81 years old of West Frankford, Ill.
1t took him 38 years to compile his
record, beginning with his first we'd
ding in 1898. His previous wives. as
he recalled them by first names, were
Mary May, Lou, Sada. Stella. Lutu, Sa-

Julia. who divorced him last month.
One Of Plumlee's boasts was that he
had never used modern courting meth

faith in the "horse and-buggy system"
In addition to a major record for
number of marriages. YES" claimed

PARIS, August 8.-Debt relief for
small business men for the remainder
of the year was voted tonight by the
French Chamber of Deputies.
Another. but longer. debt suspension
plan for the assistance of farmers is
pending in Parliament.
Large corporations and banks are
not included in the Socialist reform
measure.
The bill, intended to aid a large
block Of French business and indus
try, extends to small enterprises and
individuals virtual moratorium on
rent payments and promissory notes.
given in payment of business obliga-
tfons, until December 81.
Blum Plans Loans.
At that time Premier Leon Blum
intends to have loan plan in opera
ton to assist them in carrying on
their business.
The measure was introduced by
Blum after loud clamor by small nler-
chants and manufacturers, already
hard hit by depression, that they would
suffer heavily from new social laws
enlarging pay rolls and imposing other
restrictions. which they said would
increase the cost Of doing business.
A similar bill granting farmers q
delay of two years in the payment of
mortgages, with provision for loans
toward debt payment, awaits action
of Parliament.
Courts May Halt Suits.
Moratoriuns are granted indirectly
by the bill by permitting the courts
to suspend actions for recovery of debt.
To critics who argued the bills would
relieve debtors only to plunge credi-
tors into the same difficulties, Marc
Rucart. minister Of justice, promised
the ministry of finance that each case
would be examined separately.
The Bank of France, he said, would
be asked to discount notes purchase
obligations at discount) if necessary
to carry out the plan.
Rucart, to indicate the need for re-
lief, said some merchants had been
unable to pay their rent for the past
two years.

Protection Urged
For Spanish Duke,

HAVANA, August 8.-An urgent
plea for protection during the Spanish
revolution Of "the direct descendant of
Christopher Columbus" was sent today
to all governments in the Western
Hemisphere by the Pan-American
Columbus Society.
Nicolas Rivero, president of the
society, which has headquarters in
Havana, said the inheritor of the
title of Duke of Veragua in direct
descent from the first duke. Christie
phsr Columbus, now was in Madrid.
He Is Don Cristobal Colon-the
name by which the discoverer Of
the Americas is called in Spanish.
Rivero's organization asked Amer
ican governments to take whatever
action they could to prevent injury to
the duke and also to bar damage to
the Franciscan Monastery of Santa
Maria de la Rabida, Columbia Museum
in Buelva Province, Spain.
Rivero said the monastery is the
depository Of relics of Columbus, his
ships, and voyages.

JEWISH CONGRESS
OPENS IN GENEVA

German Situation Due to
Be HighIight.
By the Associated Press.


GENEVA, August 8.-Hopeful Of
finding a solution to Jewish problems
through collective action, the unpre-
cedented World Jewish Congress con-
Vened tonight.
More than 800 delegates, including
IS from the United States, registered
for the Today congress, the first world
wide parley JEWS have ever held.
Treatment of Jews in Germany was
expected to provide one of the high
lights of sessions devoted to steps to
strengthen the collective security Of
Jewry.
Rabbi Wise Opens Sessions.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New
York opened the sessions with a plea
that the gravity of the Jewish prob
lem be needed.
Whether or not the world recog-
nizeS It," DR.. Wise said, whether or
not Jews understand it, anti-Semitism
as a world problem is one of the
major problems of civilization.
If Hitlerism had been faced by the
world when it was little more than
an anti-Semitic election eXpedient, it
Is doubtful whether the entire civilized
world would be called upon as today
to face the ever-growing peril of the
increasing barbaric power of Nazi
Germany.
We need offer no explanation to
the world of our reasons for meeting
here. The world does not ask or have
the right to ask"
Urges Cooperation.
DR.. Wise argued for vigorous CO.
operation among Jews, charging that
disorganization "is an encouragement
to our enemies"
DR.. Nahum Goldman, representative
at the League of Nations for the Jew
ish Agency for Palestine and Euro
pean organizer for the congress,
warned that Jews face critical
future.
The worst periods of Russian Gar
ism, in which the Jews were officially
deprived of their rights and segregated

MIssIssIPPI's FUTURE BRIGHT.

That Mississippi is growing and prospecting cannot be
doubted The future OF this state is brighter now than at any
other time in its history. The eyes of the nation and the eyes
of industry are now on Mississippi and those watchful eyes
are going to mean increased industrialization and wealth for
the state.
A new large corporation, with one Of the largest author
lzed capltahzatons OF any corporation, domestic or foreign,
is the Tide Water Associated Oil Company, of Delaware cor
poration, that qualified for business in Mississippi a few days
ago with a total authorized capital of $3.50
The capital stock of this mammoth concern consists Of L.
100000 shares of preferred stock with a stated value of 500
per share, and ten million shares of common stock at non par
value, but with a limit price of $4,000.
The purposes given in the charter are to produce, acquire,
transport, buy, sell, deal in and trade in all grades of petro-
leum, oil, gas, carbon black, asphalt, carbon and hydrocarbon
products, coal nitrates phosphates, natural gas, thermal and
medicinal waters, gold, silver, iron, copper, and other miner
ais, and to drill, mine, explore, discover, produce, refine man
afacture, store, buy, sell, deal in and handle any natural or
manufactured form of these commodities.
When corporations of an industrial and development ma
ture of this size, qualify in the state, especially for the pur-
poses named, it is a clear index that big money and industry
have an eye on Mississippi, and abiding faith and confidence
IN her future and opportunities.

The lions share of railroad gross income goes to labor.
according to a summary issued by the Bureau Of Railway Ee-
onomics of the Association of American Railroads.
The summary shows that during a typical year locomo-
tive fuel absorbed SO per cent of revenue. Other supplies and
materials, along with miscellaneous expenses, took 1872 per
cent. Insurance, pensions, depreciation and loss and damage
accounted for s per cent.
BY contrast, the railroads labor bill came to As per cent
Of gross revenues.
The balance, 14.5 per cent, was available for interest,
rentals, etc.
Several deductions can be made from these statistics.
First, it is obvious that the American railroads, in spite of
their tremendous gross income, have little left over in the way
Of net income after meeting their costs. Even though both
freight and passenger traffic are on the rise, the average line
has a long way to go before it will earn a profit comparable
to that earned by most other industries.
Second, the railroads are vitality important to other in
dustries as purchasers, such purchases totalng more than
three-quarters of a billion dollars in the year surveyed.
Third, railroad labor is in a highly envftable position. Not
only do wokers receive an extremely high percentage of total
revenues, but individual wages are among the highest in our
industrial structure, and working conditions are good. This
would certainly seem to Indicate that legislation which would
artificaly increase railway labor costs by reducing the work
ing day below the present s-hour standard that apples to other
net earnings of railroads from which investors are paid, if
the roads are to remain solvent or force an increase in trans
portation costs that would be ninous to the roads and there
fore to railroad labor. This is not merely a railroad labor
and railroad question, it is an economic issue of the gravest
importance to every family and industry. It should be work
ciple.
