Cost of Recovery

The stupendous financial burden as
sumed by the Federal Government in
uiding the restoration Of recovery and
providing relief for some Of the unem-
ployed workers Wds revealed by Con
uressmdn james P. Buchanan. chairman
Of the Appropriations Committee Of the
House Of Representatives, in presenting
10 the House the $900,000.O00 emergency
appropriation bill designed to enable the
Government to carry on its emergency
work for the remainder Of the fiscal year.
Declaring thdt he would give q birds
eye picture Of the entire situdtion from
the beginning" Mr.. Buchanan said:
In the fiscal year 1888 we expended
for recovery and relief S.. 285.O0O,OOO. |
shall deal only in round figures. In the
fiscal year 1884, during which year we
made the mdximum expenditure. we
spent $3.993.000.O00. In the fiscal year
1885 we expended $~3.506.0OO.OOO. OF
$487. 100000 less thun we expended in
1884. This is making some progress to-
word economy. In the fiscal year 1885
we expended $3.263.000.00O. or $243,O0O,-
600 less thdn we expended in 1895. In
1887, if this appropriation OF SI9U,UUU,UUU
is made. we will expend S3.l84,O00.00O,
or $77.0O0.0O0 less than we expended last
year. 1886.
This makes q Grand total Of all ex-
penditures up to the end OF this fiscal
year. June 30. 1887. Of $l5.232.0O0,0O0;
and this is made up Of looms. grants, di-

been %occdsioned by recovery and relief,
including the Civilian Conservation

$3,OOO,OOO,O00 and S4.000.000.000 is re-
coverdble. The sum Of $l2.00O.O0O.O00.
therefore. is about what relief dnd recov-

POET WAS ONCE A LAWYER
by Je a n n Q

Read this story of the conven-
tional lawyer who became one OF
our most famous poets. Not a
dreaming, unsuccessful lawyer,
but a man with a profitable and
important law practice, import
ant enough to associate with
Clarence DarroW at one time. A
busy man of commerce who be-
came a writer of songs and poems,
sonnets, essays and drama!
Edgar Lee Masters was born in
the little town Of Garnett, Kan,
in 1868. His father was a de-
scendant of old Virginia stock;
his mother, the daughter OF
Methodist minister and descend
ant of Israel Putnam of Ameri-
can Revolutionary fame. The
family moved to Petersburg, ILL.,,
and later to Lewistown, where Ed
gar was raised in the typically re-
spectacle atmosphere of small
town America.
He did newspaper work for the
local weekly, learned the printing
trade, and studied law under his
father, who was one of the lead
ing lawyers in the state. In 1881
Edgar Lee Masters was admitted
to the bar and practiced in part
nership with his father. The fol-
lowing year he opened his own
office in Chicago where he was a
highly successful lawyer until
1920.
But even in high school, Edgar
Lee Masters was interested IN
writing and he never forget his
ambitions. He contributed to the
Waverly Magazine of Boston and
the Saturday Evening Call OF
Peoria; he wrote poems for a
Chicago newspaper. His first book,
published in 1898, while he was
struggling to establish a practice
in Chicago, was called simply "A
Book of Verses" Songs and Son.
nets" followed, but none of them
attracted much attention until his
Spoon River Anthology" was
published in 1915. Poems, stories
and philosophy followed rapidly.
Those of you who lament your
unexciting lives and yearn for op-
portunity, look at his dual person
ality, the poet who has won such
high awards in the realms of lit
erature.

Government Prepares to
Do Battle Against Insects
On a Large Scale

Washington, July 20.-W.a)-
Lee A. Strong, agriculture de-
partment pest expert, said tonight
that scientists are Gtudying a
mother-in-law technique to rid
the country of injurious insects
The object, he said; will be to
make the environment so unfav-
orable that the pests won't even
come around to menace future
crops; they won't even be born.
Weary husbands have tried an
unfavorab:e environment on their
mother-in-laW.
This new technique to attack
the nations pests and insects
which are responsible for annual
losses estimated to range from
$4,000 100000 to $4,000, 900, 900
was disclosed as the government
mobilized to throw $1,0Oo,000 in
to the latest battle against grass
hoppers and their insect allies.
= In double quick time, congress
authorized the expenditure Of
S1,OC0,O 900 last week and President
Roosevelt signed the measure ov-
er the weekend as reports came
in from midwestern farming
communities that the menace Of
grasshoppers and other insect
hazards was increacing. Soon the
grasshcppers will be leaving their
breeding spots and flying to new
locations.
Lines of investigation little
thought of in the early days are
under way and basic studies on
environmental influence have
been begun" said Strong, chief of
the departments bureau of ento-
mology and plant quarantine.
That the work on insecticides
will develop materials effective
against insects attacking food
products without leaving reSiduS'

only a matter Of time.
who can say that more inti-
mate knowledge of the environ
ment favorable to grasshoppers
will not permit some slight adjust
ment such as the elimination OF
some pants favorable in the de-
velopment of grasshoppers which
are of. little Importance as crops
that will prevent general out
breaks of these pests"
Strong said that further in
formation on the effects of radia-
ton on various insects was being
gathered in the belief that it
might be possible to find a seec-
ial wave length fatal. to special
pests. This would be an applica-
ton to agriculture Of the much
discussed death ray" if scient-
lists can ever find a successful

Eyewitness Tells Story
OF Battle Near Peiping
Saw Japanese and Chinese
In Struggle to Possess
Marco Polo Bridge

The following eyewitness ac-
count of the battle for possession
of the famed Marco Polo bridge,
the key to military occupation OF
North China. was sent by JACK
Belden. United Press correspond
ent. by his Chinese chauffeur who
sped through Shellf1re to reach
Peiping with the dispatch.
BY JACK BELDEN
With The 10Th Route Army AT
Changhsintien. Wednesday, July
2l-CBy courier to Peiping)-(U.D
I watched from Chinese lines to-
day the first decisive blow which
the Japanese army struck to drive
Chinese defenders away from the
walls of Peiping.
The objective was the great
Marco Polo Bridge, II miles from
the city. which is the key to pos
session of North China since 1t
controls the railroad entry to
Peiping from the south and east.
1 stood with my Chinese chaut-
feur a few yards from the 29th
army entertainments when the
Japanese guns north of Wanping-
hsien suddenly roared.
Far to the left. along the river
west of Lukouchiao barracks. a
battery of Chinese guns unlimb-
cred.
People In Panic
WanpinghSien was in panic.
Shutters closed in the twinkling
of an eye. Scared faces Of Chinese
inhabitants ducked back from
windows and doorwayS while
shells popped in the city and some
landed on the bridge itself.
I moved back to a safer and
higher position. 1t was obvious
the Japanese were striking a sud-
den effective blow to drive the
29th army away from the Marco
Polo bridge and hold that vital
position which links Peiping and
central China.
am scribbling this dispatch be-
hind the Chinese entertainments.
1t will be necessary for my chauf-
feur to get it to Feiping by way
of the Mentoukou road which
crosses the Yungting river 10
miles west of here.
Just A Warning
Although firing had ceased for
20 minutes before 1 left the lines,
the Chinese soldiers believed the
first blast of the big Japanese
guns was only a warning of what
was to follow
There will he fighting in Peip-
ing tonight" they said.
Shells screamed over the town
of Wanpinghsien, exploding near
the Chinese positions along the
river.
We could see people running
along the road. trying TO get out
Of the range of the shells.
Beyond the town. about 100
yards west. lay the Marco Polo
bridge-Or rather bridges. since
the railroad bridge to Feiping
parallels the old foot and wagon
bridge, built centuries ago, and
still the bottleneck leading to
Peiping.
Artillery Duel
The lighter rumble of Chinese
batteries answered the Japanese
fire and fol two hours it was an
artillery duel. with soldiers re-
manning in the trenches. A few
crawled up over the Sandbags. but
most simply lay behind shallow
barricades and listened to the
whine of shells.
Japanese planes droned over
the Chinese lines. dropping leaf
lets which said they would no
longer tolerate" Chinese provo
cation. Most Of the handbills were
dropped in Wanping. near the
ancient walled castle that domi-
mates the town.
