THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By IKE WALTON
Continued from last time)

CONTINUED from last time).
"You see, Ike" said Sam, the
Civil war threatened the southern
white people, especially the poor
er classes, with some terrific
dangers. Many of their best and
strongest young men had been
killed. The loss of money invest
ed in slaves was tremendous.
Many of the leaders by birth and
education had not been trained or
used to hard work. The laboring
class was facing the competition
of the free negroes. The social
and political possibilities of the
new status of the emancipated
slaves were alarming. The North
at first was hostile. Agriculture
and industry was PROSTATE. There
never was a case when the bio
logical urge for self-preservation
was more insistent in all his
tory"
"But, good Lord, SAM" I said,
"you don't mean to tell me that
our folks acted just like germs
and animals"
"Why of course, Ike" he re-
piled. eve may not like to think
so, but human beings are subject
to the laws of nature and react
Just like other organisms. 1t may
be unconsciously but they art on
the SAME lines as all other living
creatures when they are indian

WASHINGTON.-If the State
Department were in the bust
ness of issuing helpful hints to
beat the heat, it would tell you
to put your mind on the political
situation in Europe and start real
izing how comfortable you really
are.
Fanciful feature stories for
years have been telling us that
we would be vulnerable to foreign
attack with development of the
airplane. We needn't worry yet.
But practically anybody in Europe
has to bear in mind the likelihood
that few tons of high explosives
may be dropped on him sooner or
later.
Confidential reports from over
seas show that terror is wide
spread, especially in smaller coun-
tries, since the League of Nations
collective security system broke
down after Italy invaded Ethiopia.
Certain nations which once
imagined England and France
would protect, them from rapa-
cious aggressors aren't very con-
fident any more.
England is badly scared. Prac-
tically every Briton yop meet adj
mits it, although most feel she can
build up her armaments and al
Iances to point where she need
not be fearful.
Potential German air raids on
London, potential domination of
the Mediterranean by Italian
bombers, ard actual continued
japanese penetration into Asia
have thrown into a funk the proud
little island which once dominated
the seas and the European con-
tinent. o."

THE ONLY WAY

THE ONLY WAY
If some enemy of public safety
and welfare should make a MUIR
derous attack on any one Of our
municipalities, he would be stop
ped, no matter what it cost to
stop him. 1t is through the rigid
application of that principle that
our citizens are protected.
The safety of the world will
never be insured until the nations
of the world make up their minds
to stop-at any cOst-any nation
which makes a murderOus assault
on any part of the world.
A BUCK APIECE
1t is said that during a recent
election in a certain city, heavy
drain was made on the supply of
one dollar bills in the local banks:
One politician alone was observed
sliding a two hundred and fifty
dollar check through the teller,s
window and saying, Give me this
in one dollar bills"
Imagine stockholders selling
their votes for one dollar apiece
in the election of the board of di-
rectors of concern in which they
had their all invested. Would any
stakeholder be so foolish? Yet the
citizens of a municipality are in
fact the stockholders of that cor
poration, and in it they usually
have their all invested. When q
citizen sells his vote, that act may
eventually cost him everything he
has, including his self-respect.
When politicians offer to buy
votes that very demonstration OF
dishonesty and criminality cluear,
! " indicates that they and THEN
! faction or ring OF machine are
not to be trusted.

program to reorganize, readjuSt and
expand manufacturing facilities with
appropriations amounting to $5O,0O0.-
900.
Warning of the alarming increase
in the expense of government and
its economic influence on industry"
Sloan reported that taxes definitely
ascertainable and paid or accrued
with respect to the corporations di-
rect operations during 1885 were $685.
100000, equivalent to 81 per cent Of
the total pay roll of the corporation
in the United States. Such taxes, he
pointed out, increase the cost Of
doing business and lower productivity.
Wants Free Enterprise.
The road to progress, Sloan said,
lies in the restoration of the principle
of free enterprise and the encourage
ment of individual initiative.
He launched into his thesis with a
discussion of the future trend Of the
relationship between Government and
business"
THE corporation believes, and has
no hesitancy in taking the position"
said Sloan, that the present attitude
of Government and the results of its
experiments in the realm Of economics
have not. to say the least, resulted in
accelerating the process of recovery
or inspiring confidence in the opera
tions of the future. On the contrary,
they have definitely postponed recov-
cry. 1t is reasonable to believe, how
ever, that sooner or later such unSound
policies as exist will discredit them
selves, and hence be eliminated. Prog
ress already can be seen in that gen.
eral direction. On the other hand,
such policies as promote economic
progress will be reshaped into prac-
tical form. Hence there will develop
q broader foundation of confidence in
the security and opportunities of the
future than exists today.
Added Responsibility Seen.
Added responsibilities must be as
sumed by industry. Industry must
assume the role of enlightened
industrial craftsmanship. 1t can no
longer conf1ne its responsibilities to
the mere physical production and dis
tribution of goods and services. 1t
must aggreSsively move forward and
attune its thinking and its policies
toward advancing the interest of the
community at large, from which it
receives a most valuable franchise"
Pointing out that considerable diff
ference of opinion appears to exist
as to what constitutes the proper num-
ber of working hours per week for
workers, Sloan said General Motors
Corp. was firm in its conviction that
to the extent working hours are Short
ened and the rate of pay correspond
ingly increased, unemployment is like
wise increased.
Such a program" he said, "neces-
sarily increases the selling prices of
goods and services and does not in
crease the purchasing power to con-
sumo those goods and services. The
corporation believes in a reasonable
number of hours per week for in
dustry'S workers. This insureS a bal
ance between the obligation to work
and an opportunity to enjoy the fruits
of work, always having in view the
importance of reducing, and not in
creasing, the cost of goods and serv-
ices"

pressed his cheek with her lips. He
saw her eyes fill with tears. For good
ness sake, did Doctor Laird ever cry?
On Saturday she said to him.
How'd you like to stay with me over

When he arrived at her home that
afternoon, he was disappointed, be
cause she lived in large building with
a lot of other people. But her apart

There was little room back of the

The doctor had on a yellow linen

Laird sat down on his bed in the dark
and talked long time. They got talk
ing about houses, and Willard told her
about the white house with the holly
hooks. He told her why it was easier
to eat a big supper. as he had tonight,
when you could pour your own milk
from little jug and sit at a table
without so many kids.
In the morning, DIR. Laird did lot
of telephoning while Willard ate his

chuckled DR.. Laird.
Another house was an elaborate
stucco. They both shifted at that. An
other was very high and narrow, with
two peaks in 'front.' Like funny eye
brows. Willard said.
Perhaps you were cut out for an
architect. Will" She laughed and
swung the wheel about.
Then Willard saw they were on the
road to the Orphanage. He sat stiffiy
beside her.

gested DR. Laird.
They turned off the paved highway

been looking for all the time. Not Just
the same house, of course. but one so
like it that he forgot to eat the choco-
late bar and stared at the place.
1t was white, nice creamy white.
1t had green door and shutters.
There was fence made of pickets
marching like soldiers around the
lawn, In the back was long row of
hollyhocks.
DR.. Laird slowed down. Isn't this
one nice? It's empty. Don't you want
to peek in the windows?"
He could do no more than nod, be-
cause he was afraid he was going to
cry. He swallowed hard two or three
times and then said. Isn't it time to
be getting back to the Home?"
Il guess so." she sighed. II thought
you'd like to see this house. though.

The car was moving away. They
were leaving this little house forever
going back to the Home. Tears began
to run down Wizards checks.
you did want to see itr' said DR..
Laird. She gathered him into her lap:
the wheel dug into his side. but he
didn't care.
When he had quieted down, they
climbed out of the car, went hand in
hand into the green yard. They looked
into the living room windows, and
there was fireplace just where Will
lard knew there would be. They found
small room between the kitchen and
living room that would be just right
for a laboratory. There was even a.
place in the back yard under some
lilac bushes that was perfect for Rom
ulus. They guessed how many bed
rooms there were upstairs, and said
the front one should be DR.. Laird's
and the one in the back. Willard's.
Then DIR. Laird inspected the back
porch and the garage. Willard stood
alone beside lilac bush and wondered
how he could stand it back at the.
Home.

around the corner. brushing cobwebs
off her skirt, wed better be starting

Willard threw out his arms in an
imploring gesture. why do I have to

She put an arm around his shoulders.
Who says you're homely?"
Everyone! Miss Elliott, Mr.. and

did. But | also said you'd make up
for that when you got older. There
