THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY PAUL JOHN KvALE, NJ. c.

Outstanding in the news of the
present week were the efforts of
wheat growers and the Department
of Agriculture experts to work out
some solution of the problem threat
ened by the bumper crop which seems
certain at this time. Also the swift
and unexpected move of the admin
istration Friday when Senator Joseph
Robinson, majority leader, submitted
a compromise bill as substitute for
the Supreme Court bill originally
suggested by the President.
At this writing there was no infor-
nation to warrant an optimistic view
regarding the wheat problem. The
conferences came to a close, at least
temporarily, without an agreement
having been reached as to the best
method of handling the situation. The
representatives of the wheat farmers
are wary about endorsing any regula-
tons which would restrict produc-
ton to standard volume year in and
year out.
would provide for a more gradual
increase in membership would seem
at this time to have an excellent
chance of passage. Observers gener-
ally believe that the substitute bill,
which it is assumed is the work of
Senators Hatch and Logan, both con-
sistent supporters of a compromise,
and Senator Robinson, will provide
a common ground upon which the
proponents and opponents of the orig
inal bill can get together.
A very definite improvement in
the steel strike became apparent early
in the week and it is now the opin-
ion of virtually all observers that
the extremists on both sides are
inclined to realize that only mutual
concessions will promote lasting peace
in this important industry.
Boy Scouts from all quarters of
the globe, many from Minnesota,
have taken the Capital by storm. All
residents of the Capital have taken
the splendid young citizens Of the
future to their hearts. The young
visitors are receiving a practical
course in political economy through
visits to the Capitol and important
departments of the federal govern
ment, and will return to their homes
with sound knowledge of how their
national government functions.

OMAN SPEAKS
 HERE TONIGHT
Rhea Whitley tO Address Mems League of Bap-
 list Church

Rhea Whitley, special agent for the Department of Justice in charge of the New York city area and typical G-man, will speak at the First Baptist church Mems League meeting this evening at 8 o'clock. A supper at 6:30 o'clock will precede his address.
 The Department of Justice in Washington, under the Hon. J. Ed- gar Hoover, has made a determined and successful attack on large-scale crime, lifting the activities of the Department above political influ- ence and aiming enforcement of the law at the chief offenders among the hold-up and racketeer element. The story is an intensely interest ing one, when told by representa- tiveS of the Department, who accept speaking engagements with respon- sible organizations, as part of the Governments plan for educating the public in crime suppression. MT. Whitley will describe the methods employed by our Government in running down big criminals, in se- curing the cooperation of the pub- lie, and in enlisting and training the right sort of young men for this service.
 The address of MT. Whitley will be open to all men, women, and young people. without charge.

HOLLY woo D.

Stars have to obtain his approval for practically everything they do. He keeps all studio contract players within 24 hours of Hollywood. His nor has held up many vacation and even has delayed a few wed- dinngs.
 He tells 'em whether they can fly. get sunburned or play polo. Usually, his decision is negative. He won't let Alice Faye go to the beach or Dixie Dundar board a. pair of roller skates.
 Cecil B. DeMille has always had the reputation of hiring more yes- men for his encourage than does any other director. So visitors on his set few weeks ago were astonished to hear man say mo" to him.
 DeMille had been baWling out his business manager, Eugene Horn- bostel. The latter took it for min ute, then yelled at the top of his lungs: "Win you keep quiet, and lis- ten to me for a nninute!"
 DeMille listened. Hornbostel pro- ceeded to say no to proposal the director had made. And DeMilles idea was ShelVed.

 Bing Crosby was an awful sucker about business affairs until he in- corporated and placed himself under the financial guardianship of his brothers, Larry and Everett. Almost everything he does, short of buying a new shirt or attending the races, is a matter for vote of the board of directors.

FATE SUBJECT OF
 RECTOR'S SERMON
Dr. John Walker Discusses Various Types in Ad-
 dress Sunday

"The typical man on the street is not philosopher" said Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Sec ond Congregational church, in his sermon yesterday morning.
 "He makes no particular attempt to thrash out the riddles of human existence. He is content for the most part to make the most of each pass ing day. Probably he does not ask himself many questions but now. and then there must be questions that force themselves upon him. Perhaps the typical man in the pew is also inclined to take life as it comes and asks few questions. The minister often wishes he knew more about the mind of the man in the pew. He wishes that he could discover precisely what those particular ques- tionS and difficulties are. He has a suspicion that almost everyone is forced to think seyerly about things now and again.
 This minister may be mistaken but he thinks that everyone, sooner or later, is confronted with some tragedy, some disaster, some bleak catastrophe which compels him to ask, Why should this thing be?-- Is the will of God?-Does God will such things as this?-What is the will of God? Is it fate?--What is fate?-Is there such thing as fate? If there is no such thing as fate how can we reconcile these terrible tragedies of human life with the will and the love of God?" I sup pose that in the last analysis all these questions resolve themselves into one question, How much of life is determined by fate, how much by the Providence of God?" Some are frank to say that all is fate. Over against this we of the church of Christ are bound to say that the final word is with God.
 There is a type of fatalism which is quite typical of the Orient. The Hindu and the MoSlems are quite content to accept whatever life brings of joy or sorrow, pain or pleasure, prosperity or diversity. The Moslem says in so many words, Tt is kismet, it is fate." Those Mohammedan Moors General Franco brought over from Morocco to defend the Holy Church in Spain fought with reck- less courage. They believed in fate. They were either to live or to die. It was all determined in advance. It is part of their faith that fate determines all the issues of life and death.
 I remember very well that many of the men who came back from the front line trenches were con firmed fatalists. They had evolved their own practical philosophy. II a bullet was marked with a mans name he was doomed. Until the day when the bullet was marked for him he bore a charmed life. If a man could believe that, and quit certain ly many of these men did so believe, he could fight with superhuman courage and reckless indifference"

SECOND CHURCH

Dean Charles R. Skinner of the school of religion at Tufts spoke last night at the Second Congre- gational church forum on What Birth Control Can Do For the Modern World" He said that bet ter health for mothers and chil- dren, better economic opportunity for young and better information al relations would result from birth control in the United States.
 He denied that legalizing of birth control information would have a bad effect on morals, ex- plaining that contraceptive data would be given only to married persons. Unmarried people are getting birth control information now, he charged, but it is the wrong kind of information and is dangerous.
 In support of birth control he pointed out that it was legalized in Holland in 1880. Holland, he said, is one of the most moral and enlightened nations in the world today.

NEW CITY WOMAN
 HITS 96TH YEAR
Mrs. Margaret Farnham, Former Local Resident,
 Hale and Hearty

Torrington, April 19.-Mrs. Mar garet A. Farnham, one of the old est residents of Torrington, cele- brated her seth birthday yesterday Mrs. Farnhan, who lives with her nephew, James H. Farnhana, at 83 Pythian avenue, was born in Tor rington, then called Wolcottyille, on April 18, 1841.
 She was seven years old when her family moved to Waterbury, where she resided from 1848 to 1865. She lived for a short time in Newark, N. J., returning to Torring- ton in 1867 where she has continued to reside ever since.
 Her parents were James Gaunt and Emma Forrest, both of whom were natives of Birminghom, Eng land. Mrs. Farnham nee Margaret Gaunt, was married to Joseph M. Farnham in Waterbury in May, 1874, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Dr. Jacob Clark. Following the wedding MT. Farnharn bought the house in which his wife was born and they resided there 16 years until his death in 1890. Mrs. Farnham continued to live there for seven years after her husbands death.
 In the year that Mrs. Farnham was born, Torrington's population was slightly over 1,700. Tn the decades which have passed since, the figure has grown to about 28,00O, and the town has undergone tre- mendous changes, which have been followed closely by Mrs. Farnham, who undoubtedly could discuss any important ones in fully informed manner owing to her remarkable memory.
 Mrs. Farnham is sister of Mrs. Jennie Farnham, widow of the late George F. Farnham, former warden of the borough.

Hollywood - Ever since there has been Hollywood, the world has been hearing about its. yes-men. Fact is that professional no-rnen outnumber the yes-men 100 to I, and the word mo" is the most im- portant item in any movie yocabu- lary.
 And, as everyone knows, pictures are made on negatives.
 You haven't heard much about no-men because they aren't funny. Also because they are generally unpopular. Mostly they are busi- ness office executives whose job is sitting around, shaking theiI heads, and blue-penciling appro- priations. Without its no-men, the industry would go broke in a year.
 A supervisor on any picture is the money guardian, sort of glorified auditor and timekeeper. He says mo" to the director, art director, and costume designer who want to spend a few hundred thou sand dollars over their budgets.
 Nobody loves a supervisor, and it is generally believed hereabout that, when supervisor dies, he goes to a special purgatory where he counts pennies steadily for a thou sand years.
 But there are lots of other mo- men. Producers say mo" to a hundred authors, before they ac- cept story. Directors say aeno" to g out of 10 attempts of their, actors to perform a scene. Casting officials spend their days saying mo" to aspirants for screen jobs. Noes Everything
 Number One no-man on the 20th Century Fox lot is Casting Director Lew Schreiber. All studios have have casting directors, but few have the restraining powers of MI. Schneider.
