LOANS
TO BE SHY

There's more than one way OF
getting rid of "baby bonds"
That statement seems to be
proved by the large number OF
veterans who have submitted to
the Bonus Editor of The Wash
ington Times descriptions OF How
1 Will Spend My Bonus"
Every contribution printed wins
81. But the letters must be hui
morous to qualify for the contest.
Today's humorous description
comes from D. c. Blakely, who
lives at the Soldiers Home.
How Will Spend My Bonus
Bejabbers, me bonus I'll spend it
For the pleasure it brings
unto me-
But me buddieS insist that I
lend it
So the bunch can go out on a
spree.
But heavenly days, I'm so dusty,
Me throat is so smarting and
dry
Me stomach inside is. so rusty
1t won't be in the sweet bye
and bye.
For then I'll catch up with me
drinking
And if there's a bit left to
lend
Only a few dollars, I'm think
ing,
Me buddies will get at the end.

Dern's Appointment
Came as Surprise

Appointment of Soft-voiced. ap-
parently plant George Henry Dern
to the Cabinet as Secretary of War,
came as a complete surprise to
political Washington, to whom he
was known only as the second
Democratic Governor of Utah.
Those who at first believed him
merely figurehead, soon had rea-
son to remember he was the first
Democratic Governor of Utah to
be reelected, and that he was
named first during the COOLIDGE
landslide and again during the
Hoover landslide.
Although Secretary Dern brought
to his office little knowledge OF
military affairs, he was so dogged
a student of government, so earn
est to the point Of stubbornness in
his effort to master every angle OF
the nations military machine, that
he had not been long in Washing
ton before the generals" gave him
complete cooperation.
Born in Nebraska
BY early training and subsequent
experience, he was taught the
handling of men that made him
valuable to the Roosevelt admin
iStration.
Born in Dodge county, Neb., or
September 8, 1872, Mr.. Dern was
educated in Fremont (NebO Nor
NAL College, and later matriculatec
at the University Of Nebraska.
There he played tackle on one

Roosevelt went to see him before
he departed on his trip to the
flood-damaged sections Of Penn
sylvania and New York, and when
he left on his present trip to the
drought regions Of the West the
President instructed the hospital
to keep him advised by telegraph
of Mr.. Dern'S condition.
The secretary never fully re-
covered from the first severe at
tack of influenza he suffered in
Salt Lake City five years ago when
serving his second term as gov
ernor. The new attack this year
superinduced the weakness left
by the first attack and heart and
kidney complications, including
uremic poisoning, developed.
Secretary Dern's physicians did
not become seriously alarmed over
his condition until last Monday
when they admitted he had taken
a turn for the worse. The next day
he showed no progress and his
wife and children were provided
quarters at the hospital so they
could be almost constantly at his
bedside.

them. Crowds gathered at these
spots through Ohio, Indiana, Wis
consin and Minnesota and were
uniformly cordial and enthuSiaS-
tic in their greetings.
Makes Brief Remarks
In brief, impromptu remarks
from the rear platform of his
special train, Mr.. Roosevelt told
his well wisherS he was glad to
be back in the west again, and
to note that conditions appear
much better than when I was here
before" inferentially drawing a
parallel between 1882, when he
was a candidate, and this year,
when he is again a candidate.
Otherwise, Mr.. Roosevelt avoided
any Semblance of campaigning.
The train stops were so abbre-
waited they afforded him little op-
portunity for extended remarks
Moreover, he insisted he was trav-
cling as the Chief Executive, and
not as a candidate for reelection.
He will retrace his steps later in
the latter role.
COnfers With Aides
Throughout the long journey
from Washington to Bismarck,
N. D., Mr.. Roosevelt had confer
ences with his drought advisers,
principally Federal Relief Admin
istrator Harry L. Hopkins, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace, and Governor William L.
Myers, of the Farm Credit Ad'
ministration, who have been keep
mig closely in touch with it at the
capital.
The full picture of the situation,
however. will not be laid before
him until he reaches Bismarck
today and meets with his Great
Plains drought committee, which
has just completed a 1,800-mile
motor tour of the backroads Of
the West, interviewing hundreds
of farmers and getting a closeup
of conditions off the beaten track.
From Bismarck onward the
Presidents trip promised to be an
endless chain of conferences and
travel by train and motor for 10
days. His train was due in Bis

"BELT OF TREES"
"There is nothing left of the
recovery program except the an
nual suggestion of belt of trees.
You remember the fellow who
was asked at the hospital why he
jumped through the plate-glaSs
window, and replied that he
didn't know, but it looked like
a good idea at the time. That's
the kind of government we have
had for the past three years"
Pointing out that the business
Of the nation is done chiefly BY
small proprietors and small cor
porations, Colonel Knox said:
where extOrtiOnate and un-
economic monopoly exists, gov
ernment must break it up. The
Republican party is pledged to
do so.
"Where large scale business
practices unfair competition
and attempts artificial mOnOp-
oily practice, it must be pun
ished. We have on the statute
books the Sherman act, the
Clayton act, the Federal Trade
Commission act and others.
PROVIDE LEGAL WEAPONS
"They provide legal weapons
necessary to the prosecution Of
illegal monopoly and unfair
practices. The present Admin
istratiOn's first move was to
suspend these measures.
"It left them suspended until
the Supreme Court restored
them. And now we have a vir-
tuOuS government dashing out

He was % when he became a
bookkeeper in the Gold Mining
and Milling Company's office in
Utah, and at % he was general
manager. Until 1918, when the
mines at Mercur were closed down
he managed them without indica-
ton Of labor difficulties with the
500 workers.
A year later, Secretary Dern was
serving in the Utah legislature

wrote such legislation as the work
mans compensation act, the alb

mission act and the corrupt prac'
ticeS act-all progressive, even rad

Twice Chosen Governor
He served his first term as gov,
ernor in 1924, and was reelected
in 1928. 1t was at a governors
conference in Salt Lake City that
he met then Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Of New York. To
friends who know how Roosevelt
had been impressed with Dern's
capabilities, his Cabinet appoint,
ment came as no surprise.
Secretary Dern fought his bat,
tie with Secretary of the Interior
IckeS for PWA funds for moderni-
zation Of Army equipment to the
bitter end. When his regime was
criticized for alleged failure of
Army planes competently to take
over mail service, he asked for an
impartial investigation to deter,
mine whether there was fault.
where it lay and how it could be
eliminated.
Advocate Of Defense
When scandal touched War De-
partment purchases of airplanes
and trucks, he asked the Depart
ment of Justice to investigate, and
this attitude he maintained
throughout his administration,
taking the stand that his Depart
ment had nothing to hide and
that its operations should be pub
lie property.
During his Cabinet service, Sec
retary Dern was the speaker at
many public functions, advancing
his belief in adequate defense, a
big air force and improvements in
military system and equipment.
Armored cars and tanks often
were the theme of his addresses,
and he was a firm believer in their
future war value.

 Excellent direction on the part of John w. Stokes was evident All through tho performAnce, and the audience called back entertainer af- ter entertainer for encores. The work oe the chorus was especially rood, and gave evidence Of care. 4ul drilling over . long period os time.
 Acting as master of ceremonies, MT. Stokes kept the show moving smoothly and his banter with the comedians, Billy o'Brien end Frank Dhimkus, was one Of the comedy highllghts of the production. A con. cert by Harry Brinkman and his or. chestEa preceded the minstrel show and the same group played for dancing after the performance.
