Economic Ills
And Cures

The problem Of home economics
looms so large upon our native
horizon that Josephine Lawrence
has taken the subject as the text
for her new book, IF I Have Four
Apples"
Miss Lawrence, as those who
read 1.-THE Years Are So Long"
will recall, is a warm-hearted, ana
lytical person who can pick out
your faults and forgive you for
having them. She is especially
good at the gentle art of debunk-
ing.
Many Of our neighbors grow up
with the belief that four apples
and two apples make eight, that
all Americans are created equal
and that every boy has chance
to be President. A white collar
Job il the only kind of job worth
mentioning and every self-respect-
ing citizen with q family to sup
port has to buy a house to sup
port them in.
All of this Miss Lawrence views
with alarm. Nobody, she main
tainS, should buy house if he has
to hunt around for water rent
and taxes. Budgets, she believes,
are the cure for all economic ills,
and she gives you the entire case
history of one American family
lust to illustrate the point.

story Of the Great American
Budget by Josephine Lawrence.

On The Sound
WAGON

"WashingtOn", declares one Of
the leading characters in "The
Sound Wagon, els a town Of hOri.
IONS. Nothing much in the mid
die, but the horizons. are broad"
To which, Henry Lee Caridius,
the Independent candidate for
Congress, replies: "All Of us are
going to have q great time in
Washington. All Of our horizons
are going to be brOadened."
And Caridius is pretty nearly
right, although the process is a
little painful. For CaridiuS, the
Peoples Choice, elected to the
Senate "over the bribery and polit-
ical corruption of q plutocratic
machine, winds up in the prison
kitchen in Atlanta. His Jealous,
small-town wife is elected to his
seat in the Senate, by an unpre-
cedented majority, and the girl
he loves is kidnapped and killed
by a racketeer. Beyond that,
Caridius has a great time.
Among other things he is &C
cused of selling military secrets
to a foreign country and we last
see the Honorable Henry bent
upon refusing a pardon for fear
of losing the public sympathy.
So much for the focal figure.
The author, you may be surprised
to know, is the T. S. Stribling
whose trilology "The Forge" /"
"The Store" and Unfinished
Cathedral held readers spell
bound since the first of the three
books appeared in 1881.
He has not, he states, copied
any Of the characters in "The
Sound Wagon" from life. On the
contrary the Characters are so
generalized that one could say
much more truthfully that life
has copied the characters con-
tanned in the novel,"
Opinions on that will differ.
However, the Stribling you see
here is a clever, satirical chap
playing for every laugh he can
get. His style is the same but
the story begun with the Forge"
is finished forever.

cal satire by T. S. Stribling. Pub

President Roosevelt, himself a
lover of ship pictures, has loaned
Grants painting of the frigate
Constitution, which now hangs in
the White House, to the exhibi.
ton.
The exhibition is composed of
81 oil paintings Of ships of many
varieties, principally of the style
popular in the early Nineteenth
century. Almost all of the paint
ings are of ships, not lying at
anchor, but sailing the seas, al
though there are some beautiful
pictures of stately, majestic ships
In port.
In the show are the Yankee
barque and the Spanish barque,
the clipper ship, the pirate ship
the New Bedford whaler, the
Gloucesterman, the Windjammers,
the coastal schooner and variety
Of others.
One canvas sets forth the DE
feat of the II. M. s. Java by the
q. s. s. Constitution, 1872" The
painting of "Old Ironsides" was
reproduced by the Navy Depart
ment and sold throughout the
country to raise funds for the re-
habilitation Of the old ship.
Mr.. Grant is a master of the
art Of painting his ships and Of
creating beautiful sea effects,
showing the ocean in all its moods.
Born in San Francisco of Scotch
parents, at the age of Is, he was
sent around Cape Horn on a sail
ing vessel to school in Scotland.
Sponsors Of the exhibition Of
his work, headed by President
Roosevelt, are the Secretary of the
Navy, the acting Chief of Naval
Operations, Rear Admiral j. K.
TauSsig; Chief of the Bureau of

Her work is varied, sometimes
strong and sometimes delicate,
the work of real artist and an
expert technician.
Although trees, tall, slender
ones, seem to attract Mrs. Brooks
most, she can take off on virtually
any subject. She has remark
able versatility that takes her far
afield in forests, into harborS and
into quaint little towns where
children play on "Baby Street" |"
She creates beautiful effects
with her treeS-dark forests with
the sunlight slanting down
through cracks in the dark walls,
delicate lace-like trees, strong
trees casting their shadows over
small graves, and other striking
effects.
Yet there Is no artificiality. Her
etchings, engravings and dry.
points are all real, the work OF
an artist who knows her business
and who feels the beauty Of the
scenes she scratches into copper.
OF the 40 prints on exhibition,
many were made for the Public
Works Administration and others
have already been sold out.
Mrs. Brooks, who now lives in
Los Angeles, Calf, is only 35
years old. She was born in Mis-
souri,, the daughter of a scientific
father and q painter mother.
When she was still a child. she
began studying plant life and for
nation through her fathers mi
croscope.
She studied art at the Univer-
Sity of Southern California under
F.. TolleS Chamberlin and began
etching under Arthur Miller in
1929. In 1892, her print Spring"
was bought by the California So
ciety Of EtcherS for distribution
among its associate members.
In 1893 she won the prize Tor
the best etched bookplate at the
Bookplate International Exhlbl-
ton in Los Angeles. In 1884 the
John Taylor Arms award for the
best technical work in pure etch-
ing was given to her by the So
ciety of American EtcherS. The
same plate, MY Friends" won
the 1884 prize Of the Chicago So
ciety Of Etchers.
Despite the fact that Mrs.
Brooks Is slightly built, she does
all her own printing on q mans
size press as well as printing for
other etcherS.

that will carry their originality to
the height of true art.
Five stages, one upon another,
will be presented. The action be-
gins at first level-the synagogue
and travels upward as the emo
tional and dramatic urges rise one
upon another to climax and eli
max. The fifth stage is contrived
for a forceful setting from which
will issue the Voice Of God.
It is an old story. It is done IN
the language tone in which 1t
was written originally and carries
with it all the warmth and color
Of a beautiful masterpiece Of dra-
matte expression.

The report is current here today

control, with an equitable distribution
of the profits from the liquor stores
between the State, the counties and
the towns in which the liquor stores
are located. At the present time only
the counties get the revenue from the
sale of liquor, with the towns in which
the stores are located and the State
getting nothing. Graham's supporters
are confident he is going to gain ad-
ditional support, especially from the
cities and towns, if he advocates the

gress passes the necessary permissive
legislation validating State pacts. But
the prevailing belief in most political
circles is that the dominant factor in

thus unbalance the State budget
Some even think that political con-

candidates and injure the chances OF
others. At any rate, it is expected that

TAX FIGHT BLOCKS HOPES
FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT
By CHARLES p. STEWART
AnR NNPifnF

Central Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE tax
FIGHT in Congress has blighted all
hopes of an early adjournment of the
lawmakers. Leaders of the opposing
forces on Capitol Hill express doubts
that the session can be ended before
the opening of the national conven-
tions in June.
The contest in Washington, OF
course. will hinge on President Roose-
velt's demand for heavy levy upon
accumulated corporate profits, in or
der:
/. Ostensibly to raiser evenue.
2. In reality, critics say, to force big
companies, with huge reserves, to
PASS these reserves out, in the form of
dividends, thus putting more money
into circulation.
DEMOCRATS FEARFUL
Mnay Democratic legislators, includ
ing some loyal supporters of the adj
ministration, complain that this sug-
gestion was poor political strategy on
the presidential part, anyway, at this
time. on the eve of campaign.
1t already is Interpreted, they point
out. as a share our wealth." 'soaK
the thrifty scheme-just what the
New Deal has been accused of so
often. Others say it will help him with
the mass of voters.
At least there will be arguments on
the floor of Congress.
First the Presidents original plan
must be \44.-.,-.j over; then each
substitute plan must be wrangled over
in detail. The dispute is so complicat-
ed as to be likely to go on Indefinite
ly.
But the guess is that the Roosevelt
nlan with it's tax on undistributed
CORPORATION earnings, will be passed.
80 per cent tax on impounded
processing taxes also is likely to be
passed.
There will be objection, however, to
new processing taxes on farm prod
ucts.
TAXES THEY DON'T LIKE
Talk of only changes in income
taxes were shunted aside as too dan
gerous to consider prior to election
time Processing taxes, which in ef-
feet are sales taxes, likewise are con-
sidered dangerous.
sales tax can be described as an
excise tax or a processing tax or by
some other name, but it will pretty
directly increase the cost of living, for
all that; hence lawmakers are
"skeery" of such forms of taxation,
too.
And there are few if any other
forms of taxation that they can think
of.
