Dumping" Boat Racing

More than a hundred years ago
the British evolved a type of boat
racing which is peculiar to their
own country. This is c a | e d
dumping. 1t began in 1915 at
Oxford and was later copied by
Cambridge and other universities
and schools. The reason for this
type OF race was that not many
of the rivers going through college
towns were wide enough for several
boats to race alongside. The So
luton was to develop some sort
Of single-hle racing which would be
fair to every boat taking part.

Much Opposition

incidentally, it is this very last
point on which Father Coughlin and
Representative William Lemke,
candidate for President on the

They believe that such expenditures

deemed when the government de-
sires, but on which no interest
should be paid in the meantime.

Add to Debt


Between three and four billion
dollars will be added to the nation
al debt next year if the promise is
kept that was made after the spec
tacular White House conference be-
tween President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Henry Nor
genthau, Jr., Chairman Pat Harri-
son of the senate finance commit
tee, and Chairman Robert L.
Doughton, Of the house ways and
means committee is kept.
The only alternative is for the
government simply to eliminate
federal relief appropriations next
year--not cut them down, but cut
them out. No one either politically
or economically minded believes
the administration has the slightest
thought of doing this.
Which leaves the situation where
it was. The present tax law, after
its revision toward the end of the
last session, was calculated to do
certain specific things. The addi-
tional revenue it was to provide
was to make up the loss of the AAA
processing taxes, to make up the
one year already passed in which
those processing taxes had not
been received, and to make up the
additional cost of payment of the
bonus some years ahead of pre-
| ui0uc calculations
| This means that the present tax
law was and is calculated to bal
ance the federal dget-except for
relief appropriations.
Relief appropriations include
| WPA, PWA, CCC, the Tugwell re-
settlement, and half a dozen other
spending agencies. They are rum
ming at the rate of between three
and four billion dollars a year.
So the calculation was that the
total of taxes taken in each year
would meet all other government
expenses, but that those for relief
should heyclassified as emergency,
and should've paid for by going in
to debt-selling additional bonds
on which interest must be paid.

Three Kinds Of Silence

There are three kinds of silence.
Silence from words is good, be-
cause inordinate speaking tends
to evil. Silence, or rest from de-
sires and passions, is still better,
because it promotes quietness OF
spirit.
But the best of all is silence
from unnecessary and wandering
thoughts because that is essential
to internal recollection, and be-
cause it lays a foundation for a
proper regulation and silence in
other respects.--Madame Guyon.

of what may happen in this cleo
ton.
Attacked Mullen
Carpenter has made himself par
ticularly obnoxious to Farley and
Burke by attacking Arthur F. Null
len. It will be recalled that Mullen
was a Democratic national COM
mitteeman for many years until the
famous purge of the committee
the assertion at the White House
that members of the national COM
mittee should not hold federal Of
fees, and should not lobby
Aimed at somebody else, it hit
both Farley and Mullen, much to
the distress of the White House.
Mullen did not want to resign,
thought the clamor was foolish, but,
the White House having spoken,
the reporters kept after him. So
he finally did,
Mullen kept right on represent
ing this and that interest in Wash
ington, his influence being impaired
not one whit by the mere fact that
he had resigned. Public Works Adj
ministrator Harold S. Ickes resent
ed the size of some fees Mullen
was demanding from PWA prof.
ects, and wanted to cut a couple
of them from $4,000 to some un-
named reasonable figure.
But Mullen sued. The project
did not fight in court, and Mullen
collected.
Mullen is by way Of being Jim
Farley's lieutenant. Burke is by
way of being Mullen's lieutenant.
He was put in as national commit
teeman in Mullen's place when Null
len resigned.
So when Carpenter hits Mullen,
talking about his lobbying, his fees,
ETC., he hits both Farley and Burke.
All of which adds considerably to
such gayety as can exist in oven

DEATH RATE. RISES
UNDERHEAT WAVE
Census Bureau Reports Fig
ures for Cities, Compared
With Normal

Washington, July 25.-(AP)-A Is
percent increase in the number of
deaths in principal cities during the
week ended July 10 compared with
the same week a year ago was attri-
buted by the Census Bureau today to
the intense heat that prevailed in
many sections.
Deaths in SO large cities during the
week ended July 10 totalled IL, 1873, the
report to the bureau said compared
with 7,439 for the corresponding 1895
week. The week in 1885 was normal"
with respect to temperature, the bu-
reau said.
From the standpoint of mortality
the 1886 heat wave was much more
severe than the 1894 wave," it con-
tinued.
The bureau found that the fatal
effect" of the present heat wave was
concentrated in a somewhat different
geographical area from that of 1884.
The 1894 deaths, it was said, oc-
CURED largely in Cincinnati, Kansas
City, indianapolis, st. Louis, Omaha
and other cities in the southern part
of the midwest.
Although these cities showed sharp
increases in mortality for the week
ended last July 18, the bureau report
ed even greater increases for north
ern midwest cities.

College Station, Raleigh, July 25.-
Farm and Home Week, which opens
at State College Monday afternoon,
is expected to draw thousands of
farmers and farm women from all
parts of North Carolina.
The event, described as an educa-
tional vacation for rural North Caro-
linians, is designed to give them adj
vanced information about the latest
developments in agriculture, home
making, and farm living while they
enjoy a respite from their toll.
Attendance at the last Farm and
Home Week, held in 1884, was well
over 5000. A larger number is expect
ed this year, said John w. Goodman,
assistant director Of the State College
extension service, who is secretary OF
the week.
In 1885, the annual event was can
celled on account of the outbreak OF
infantile paralysis that had spread
over much of the State.

been done to provide a good program

New York, July 25.-(AP)-The
drums of industry continued to beat
out faster and faster rhythms this
week
The Associated Press index of in
dustrial activity rose to the highest
level since the spring of 1880; 94.2
percent of the 1929-3O average. This
compared with 931 last week and 74.3
in the same period year ago.
Automobile output was stepped up
sharply. This contra-seasonal upturn
accompanied glowing reports in the in
du~try concerning current retail sales
and optimistic comment on the pros
poets for the next few months.
Electric power production jumped
TO the best figure on record as the
countrywide heat increased the use
of current by electric refrigerators
and for irrigation purposes.
Steel mill activity was raised when
the drop in orders following the price
advance was less than expected in
the trade. Cotton manufacturing went
up somewhat, with slight price con-
cessions boosting the demand.
