tim of Stabbing on Way
to Weiner Roast.

Miss Ruth Mcmillan, 10, pretty
coed at George Washington Uni

knife and choked her.

assailant, Miss Mcmillan broke loose
and the man fled. The girl stumbled
down the road, weak from shock and
loss of blood. She was found by Philip

they came on the group Of fellow stu
dents she had gone to meet. They
summoned an ambulance, and the girl
was taken to Emergency Hospital.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The meeting of the Republican
National Committee in Chicago on
November is full of potential dyna-
mite.
Two rows, distinct from each other
and yet at the same time intimately
entwined, appear on the horizon. The
first is over the proposed national
conference or convention on an un-
fixed date next Spring. The second is
over the chairmanship of the Ma
tional Committee, now held by John
D. M. Hamilton of Kansas.
Rivalry for control and leadership
OF the G. o. P. has its part in both
these controversies. Unless the party
is to break up hopelessly into fac
tions and perhaps die of inanition,
peace must be worked out.
The plan for holding q national
conference, representative Of sll
groups in the party. has been spon-
sored by Chairman Hamilton and by
former President Herbert Hoover
Every effort has been made to get
former Gov. ALI NJ LAndon of Kan
sas, the party standard bearer in
1895, to 60 along with the idea. These
efforts eliminated recently in q meet
ing at the home of former Gov. Frank
O. Lowden Of Illinois, attended by
Lowden, Landon and Hoover. A rather
cryptic statement was given out at
the close of that meeting by Mr.
Lowden. He said that the conferees
had found themselves in agreement
There were no details given regarding
the agreement. 1t was assumed, how
ever, that Landon had decided to go
along with the others in support of a
national conference.

WORTH TEACHING

The fact that there is no
regular course in the public
schools covering the conser-
walton of wild life and nat
ural resources does not mean
that it is not worth teach
ing. No better instruction
can be given by any teacher
than the simple methods of
protecting the trees, birds
and small animals of the
neighborhood in which his or
her school is located. A few
moments now and then de-
voted to the value of plant
ing trees, and protecting
those now growing, will serve
to impress the youthful mind
with the value and impor-
lance of conservation. The
same is true regarding our
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1937-10-21

if these corporations are
waxing rich, they are not
interested, since the money
is coming out of the pockets
Of those who furnish the pro-
grams, and not out of the
pockets of those who listen
to them. The average radio
owner feels that he is get
ting mighty fine entertain
ment over the air waves free
of cost-and that it is about
the only thing he is getting
for nothing. In almost every
other country there is a tax
on radio sets. Americans
have so far escaped that,
though the time probably
isn't far off when revenue
seeking politicians will see
that it, too, is included in
the long list of taxable arti-
cles.

outdoor life. Children may
be destructive by nature, but
leading them into new paths
is an easy matter. Tell
them, so their childish minds
can understand why this
country must conserve it's
natural resources, such as
timber and fish and game,
and they will grasp the
meaning and carry it with
them on through to matur-
ity. The teacher who real
ICES the value of such instruc-
ton is worth more to the
community he serves than
the one who never mentions
the subject simply because
it doesn't happen to be a
part of the regular school
course.

A RADIO PROBE

While the country has
managed to get along fairly
well for the past few years
without a spectacular con-
gressional probe it does not
appear at this time that it is
to escape one very much
longer. The demand of GER
tain members of congress
that the affairs of the big
radio broadcasting corpora
tons be investigated, and
the spotlight turned upon
them, will probably bear fruit
at the next session.
The claim that there is a
monopoly of the air, with the
radio business in control of
two broadcasting companies,
isn't news to anyone. Every
one who owns a radio or who
listens in knows that. Even

What l28,OOO,OOO
Consumers Want
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
. Sentinels Of the Republic

Recent estimates by the Bureau OF
the Census place our population at
approximately 128,000,0O0.
That includes everyone within the
territorial boundaries of the United
States. That is the group for which
our government is conducted. and by
which it is supported. That Is the
American nation.
How Is this huge group faring!
In the one thing that concerns 1t
most-the cost of hving-not so well!
From housewives and wage-earners
throughout the nation are heard pro-
tests against the increasing strains i'm
posed on the family budget; against
the deepening dips into the weekly pay
envelope required for the necessities Of
life.
In cases where the family income has
remained stationary, the burden en-
tailed is serious. In these rarer in
stances where income has risen, the
benefits Of such increase have been
Offset by the higher costs Of food. rent,
clothing and equipment essential to life
and work.
This is not what our 12S,000,0o0 con-
sumers expect when ne politicians
promise them better conditions. What
they anticipate is not less for their
labors, but more.
Neither politicians nor the govern
ment AS experience has proved-can
fix successfully or directly the cost of
commodities. But they can reduce the
high cost Of living, by cutting the high
cost Of government-for again, as expe-
Renee has proved, the two are twins.
A steady climb in the public debt,
and q corresponding rise in political
payrolls is not the way to tighten either
of those burdens. If the government
wants TO help its people, let it lower
its own costs then watch the cost Of
living fall in unison.
And 12S,00o,G0O consumers viii cheer
such program.

IT WON'T WORK

With almost 1000 killed ON
Labor Day alone the neces-
sity for laws fixing a lower
rate of speed is apparent.
However, at the same time
that new speed laws, and
laws with teeth in them, are
being enacted, some attention
should also be given those
drivers who idle along a main
highway at a rate of Is or Is
miles an hour. Hundreds of
accidents occur when drivers
turn out to pass these slow
moving machines, for as a
rule they are not hugging
their side of the road. The
need for regulating the slow
poke is as great as the need
for regulating the speeder.
This years death toll is
going to be a CHASTITY one
when the figures are made
public. Mabe it win speed
the enactment of some sort
Of Legislation that win make
human life q little bit safer
IN America.
