Yet on the subject of finances, Presi-

paper men. Just this past week he re-
marked that he long ago had formed the
opinion that no newspaper man knows
the difference between dollars and
cents"
Shortly after making that remark. the
President entered upon a discussion of
the Federal Government debt, and re-
vealed his opinion that the dollars con-
tributed by 100000 workers who are
saving for old age through the social
security system and by about 5000, 900
employers who are building unemploy-
ment insurance reserves would be dollars
added to the public debt. This means
that President Roosevelt expects these
dollars to come into the Treasury and
to be spent just like any other revenue
dollars. with the expenditures added to
the public debt. Either that or the Presi-
dent himself got bit tangled in Gov
ernment finances.

GIRL AGENTS IN
 FAKE.LOTTERIES

Boston, March 12-(U.P)-Pret- ty girl agents, whose charms alleg- edly had lured $l,000,000 from New Englanders' pocketbooks in a fake lottery scheme, were traced by pos tai inspectors and police today as result of mystery woman's con- fession. The woman, whose name was kept secret for fear of reprisals, was sought here yesterday after her arrest in Portland, Me. Long sought as a vital witness, the woman al- legedly supplied names of 60 men and girls who sold tickets for a fake lottery known as Canadian National, Limited"
 Second arrest was that of John P. Cooley, A, of Longmeadow, believ- ed to be the New England "boss" in the scheme. Cooley was held in ST. 800 bail for federal court trial March 20 after ararignment before U. s. Commissioner Harry N. Gu terman. Authorities reported finding 500 12-ticket books for the lottery in his Back Bay hotel room.
 Concentrating on New England mill centers, the agents allegedlJ sold dollar tickets, printed on fine paper in French and English, but rever paid more than $25 each in so-called "sucker-prizes" though they promised grand prizes of $4O,- 900 from monthly drawings.

y - Learning the Facts About Average Man

Despite newspapers, radio, public
schools and study clubs, we tend
to be a pretty ignorant lot, Our
knowledge of what is going on in
the world has big gaps in 1t. We
don't even know very much about
ourselves.
You can't help meditating along
those lines when you have a look
at the survey of typical small
city life recently made by the
Department of Agriculture.
The department studied a large
number of cities and towns, and
finally decided that Beaver Dam,
Wis, was just about average. Then
it went through Beaver Dam with
fine-toothed comb, trying to find
out how the citizens lived, what
they earned. how big their families
were, what sort of houses they oc-
cupied, and SO on.
And it is here that some of the
surprises begin to come out.

News Behind the News
- PUTTING Black on the Spot

wASHINGToN-Senator Tom Connally of
Texas, who doesn't like the anti-lynching bill
may have done that measure a very good turn
during his filibuster against it.
The Senator's filibuster featured by the
reading of a speech against an anti-lynching
bill once delivered by Senator Hugo Black, now
a Supreme Court justice and by Connallys
reiteration that Black was certain to hold the
Wagner anti-lynching measure unconstitutional
because he couldn't "eat those words
Well, it's fairly certain that there will be
an anti-lynching act sooner or later and that
eventually the law will come up to the supreme
court for test of its validity. And at that
time it is not very likely that Justice Black
will participate in the decision.
Whether he should not bound to be
rather delicate question in any event. But
Connally has put Black quite definitely the
spot and the chance that he might participate
in any decision invaldating an antf-lynching
law is now much more remote Black is anxious
to make a name for himself and is hardly likely
to brave the public outcry which such action
would invoke.
Speculation as to how the court might divide
is rather futile the composition of the court
at that indefinite future time is pure guess work
But there have been four to four decisions which
meant nothing except that the ruling of the
lower court was permitted to stand and it is
easy to imagine an evenly split vote on anti
lynching if Black refrains from participation.

Business Needs More
Than Lin Service

The New Deal has done verbal about
face in the last few weeks which, if trans
formed into action, will go long way
towards continuing the uptrend of busi-
ness that started couple of years ago.
Just words, however, will not do busi-
ness much good. 1t needs action.
The undistributed profits tax, which
penalties enterprise and prohibits de-
velopment, must be repealed if business
is to offer unemployment to many now
unemployed. The capital gains tax must
be revised, perhaps as suggested by Pres
ident Roosevelt to eliminate capital gains
in business but not in speculation from
double taxation, or repealed entirely.
Business must be shown that it can go
ahead without the fear that it will be
penaliZed for so doing.

More Cooperation,
Less Loss

This is the season of the year when
the police department expects, and usu-
ally receives, a number of figurative
black eyes from indignant residents who
can't see, for the life of them, why the
police cannot do something about all
this petty thievery. And, almost invar-
iably, the resident who cries the loud
est is the one who goes oftenest into
store without looking his automobile
door on the parcels carefully slowed
away inside the car.
The poIIce cannot watch every car
parked on every street in Ell Centro, and
they cannot arrest every strange man
they see merely because, from the look
in his eye, he might be wanting to steal
parcels out of automobiles. That's why
about two-thirds of the burden falls on
the citizens when it comes to preventing
petty thievery of this kind
When you park your car, and there
is parcel in it, remember to lock the

a minute. 1t merely takes a turn Of the
