GONE WITH THE wind
By Margaret Mitchell


Margaret Mitchell's Gone with
the Wind" Is truly a great novel.
It depicts the South Of years gone
by with glamour and vigor. In
smooth flowing rhythm we learn Of
the lives of Georgia people and their
struggle to adopt themselves to the
changes brought on by the day of
the Civil War and reconstruction.
The story is of Southern romance,
chivalry and heartaches, told with q
passion that would recall the days of
Sherman and his destructive march.
The setting is in Northern Georgia.
on the plantation of Tara. about the
year 1860. The heroine is Scarlet
O'EIara, the daughter of stocky,
red-headed, hard-drinkitg 1rishmafi,
who displays a passionate fondness
for the plantation, Tara. The other
children are Careen, delicate thing,
and Sullen, spoiled and fretting. The
mother is simply Ellen O'Hara. The
hero is Rhett Butler, who though
INSCRIPTIONS in his manner fri5ih@
tains iitany virtues which are plain
to Scarlet.
Scarlet suffered the pangs of
war when she lost all that she cher
ished most, thus becoming the care
less being she was, without regard
fer the conventions of society or for
anything or person besides herself
and her heritage, Tara. She mar
ries three times, makes fortune
for herself by using cheap labor in
her mills, mostly convict labor, and
turns her attention to things mate
rial. With it all, however, she had
a few soft spots, among them being
her love for Ashley Wilkes and her
feeling for Negro slave help,
A woman of this type Is usually
without dependable companions, but
Scarlet had q true friend in d
gambler by the name of Rhett But
Ter, who was too wise to join the
war. He taught Scarlet to live her
life as she saw fit, but he could not
teach her that there were few basic
principles to which one must adhere
in order to remain decent and clean.
Scarlett's greed for money was her
downfall It killed her second hus-
band was was partly the cause of
her losing Rhett. Scarlett plunged
headlong into New Atlanta, which
was more vigorous and vulgar than
ever. No longer were her ambitions
thwarted. Financial security for her
Tara was what she had always
wanted and now she had that. But
everything else that goes to make
life worthwhile was gone: friends,
husband, standing in society.-all.
Nothing remained but the en1bers-
Tara and what it represented. "F6r
what shall it profit a man to gain
the whole world and lose his own
SOUL"
The old south has passed, charact-
ers who were true to its type and
principles" have vanished. The la
meftation is eolorfully portrayed by

HOUSING MEASURE
OPPOSITION FLAYED
Misrepresentation Charged
by 20 Cities Officials,
Urging Passage.

Charging that passage of the Wag.
ner-Steagall housing bill is being
blocked by widespread and gross mis-
representation Of its financial pro-
visions" housing officials representing
20 OF the largest cities in the United
States today united in urging its i'm
mediate enactment.
The appeal was made after meetings
OF the representatives here Friday and
Saturday. They made their appeal
for passage of the bill through the
American Federation of Housing Au-
thorities.
The group claiming to represent
more than 100000 urban dvellers,
declared "the efforts to sabotage
President Roosevelts desire for a long
range housing program by linking it
up disingenuously with the current
economy drive represent not only an
attempt to paralyze the great national
cause OF housing, but also a travesty
upon every acknowledged dictate OF
public economy and business common
sense"
Dill VIII Seil lLStI.
"All We ask" they said in a state
ment made public by the federation.
lis that the Wagner -Steagall housing
bill be considered on the facts. When
so considered, the bill will sell itself"
In denying that the bill Is validly
involved in the current economy drive,
the federation said:
How many people realize that the
complete abandonment of the Wagner
Steagall housing program would have
practically no effect upon cutting down
protective expenditures or balancing
the budget? The total governmental
appropriations and expenditures re-
CURED under this measure would be
less than sl,000,000 during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1888 They would
average less than s3,5OO,OOO annually
over the next two years, and less than
sl2,500,000 annually over the next four
years"
Housing Held Cheapest.
1t was pointed out that, compared
with relief, housing Is cheaper for
the Government, better for business,
-and infinitely more just to the UNDER
privileged who, in one way or another,
must be helped" Loans for lov-rent
housing would not cost the Federal
Government or the taxpayer "a single
penny 1t was stated by the group.
