Those Who Create

Without an economic system
which offers rewards to those who
work and create, America would
not be setting the pace for the
world.
That is the belief of Charles r.
Hook. president of the American
Rolling Mill Company. In an ad-
dress before the American Life In
surance convention in Chicago, he
said
when you look at your alarm
clock you see only the hands and
figures on the dali You do not
see that main spring, or that tiny
motor, deep down inside.
There is main spring deep
down inside America too. 1t is the
incentive to work and create, te
share in the profits Of ones work
Without this incentive to the in
dividual, America would not have
developed her natural resources, We
would not have our great factories
our magnificent public institution
and our high standard of living.
AS proof that the American in
centive system has worked. h
pointed out that the United State
! today has II per cent of the world
automobiles, So per cent of its tele
phone and telegraph facilities, 5
per cent Of its radios and So pc
cent of its railroads

CONGRESSMAN WOULD REPEAL
LAWS

Bruce Barton. we'll known
writer and commentator, was
last week elected to congress
from a district in New York
City. Barton said if elected, he
would go to Washington to re-
peal laws. He declared in a
speech
no other nation in the world
is so ridden to death by legis-
lation. | have discovered that
if | read a hundred laws a day
it would take me two years OF
solid reading to cover them all.

The Inheritance

Robbing baby's bank is often a
good subject for a cartoon or wise
crack. But how many mothers or
fathers maliciously, and without any
intention of paying it back, take
money away from their children?
On the contrary, every father tries
to accumulate as much as he can
so that when he passes on he may
leave his children better off than
he was in childhood. That is why
it is astounding that we should be
robbing not only baby's bank now
but his bank account later on.
Look. In 1919. because of the
World War, the debt of the federal

FOR A BETTER RIDE

The 'clickety-click" rhythm
Of the rails that has been cele-
brated in song, story and poem
for generations, is coming out Of
American railroads. After years
of research and experimenting,
railway construction engineers
have found way to eliminate
the noise of the rails--caused
by spaces separating one length
of 60-foot rail from another.
The engineers have found they
can successfully weld the rails
together and thus insure a
smoother, Quietere ride.

Great Leaders Needed

There was a stirring. a gripping
picture at the Kootenai Theatre last
week. Il was decentralization of an
incident in American history II
gave one a glimpse of the perplexlng
times that harassed the souls of men
lust at the outbreak Of the Revolu-
tionary War
The picture led up to and por-
trayed the Virginia convention at
which that colony voted to cast It's
lot with the other colonies in the
fight for freedom. The climax OF
the picture came when Patrick Hem
ry delivered that never-to-be-for-
gotten address in favor of war, his
clarion call to his countrymen to
fight for liberty and which ended
with these deathless words:
rs life SO dear. or peace so
sweet as to be purchased at the
price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God |
know not what course others
may take. but. as for me, give
me liberty. or give me DEATH
Henry's address electrified the
convention and it voted to follow
the other colonies in armed rebel
lion.
AS one sat and viewed that
dramatization one got another
glimpse. 1t was a glimpse Of the
heritage that is ours, a glimpse OF
the sort of men who were our fore
fathers and who eventually built
the foundation Of this great nation
The picture showed them as men
of iron, men of determination and
ability; men who dared to face pris-
on and death in defense Of their
rights and their dearly loved lib
erty, men with high sense Of duty
and a willingness to die for 1t Il
necessary. men who asked only fol-
opportunity to fight their own way
men who would have spurned cas-,
living at the expense of their homo
and independence.
The picture also set us to pom
dering America has grown rich ane
powerful since those days Wher
Patrick Henry delivered his impas
stoned address Riches all too Otter
bring softness. Is America growing
soft? Today one of the illuminat
ing traits of the national characte
seems to be a too great willingness
to accept help from someone else
an expectation that a kindly gov
eminent ought to take care of eac
and everyone A spineless accep
lance of fate and a cry for some
pEe to help
Today America is passing throug
most dangerous, most critical time
Mems minds are perplexed Their
are many who would lead ther
astray, after false gods. Where
there leadership today to show me
the true path out of the preser
difficulty Where is there ma
in public life today who can mea:
ure up even in a small way wit
the great outstanding leaders {
Revolutionary times2 APPARENT
there is none.
When the picture referred to cam
to its dramatic close. there was
burst of applause. Patriotism
not dead in America. May TIL
patriotism in the heart of Amerit
still be able to solve her problem

government had risen to twenty
five billion dollars. Thirteen years
later, after a period of unprecedent-
ed prosperity. that debt had been
reduced by only nine billion
dollars.
Today, we have a thirty-seven
billion dollar debt If we could
have the same prosperity from now
on that we had through the EOS, II
would take more than 81 years to
pay the debt.

Mr.. Huff has been educated in the

school in the country-the Federal
Bureau Of Prisons. He belongs to that
small but growing group Of career men
IN whose hands rests the modernization
and Improvement Of the American penal
system. In sense he has become a
Washingtonian, for his six years of serv-
ice at the Department of Justice have
brought him in close contact with COM
mun1ty life and problems. He has served
as a president Of the Washington Chap
ter, American Association of Social
Workers, and is now the chairman Of
the Corrections Committee Of the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies.
He will take office before the compile

were sent to correctional institutions
from Jersey City and this year there
may be fewer. Jersey City's Bureau
of Special Service" is trying to correct
the cause Of juvenile delinquency in
stead OF Furnishing the juvenile offender.
The same principle, though the method
differs, underlies the Juvenile Court leg
islation now awaiting passage In the
Senate. The court will cease to func-
ton essentially as police court for
minors, with its disposition of offenders
so narrowly limited by old concepts Of
crime and punishment. Enactment of
this bill should carry the hopes of a
new deal for children who get into
trouble and lack the luck or the family
standing to get out Of it. 1t was mainly
luck which prevented many respected
citizens of today from being branded
"juve2il 5elinquents" in the past. This
bill gives children something more de-
pendable than luck to lean on.

lection is the worlds finest skeleton of
the extremely rare family of coelurids,
carnivorous lizard bipeds about 3 feet
long. from whom developed some of the
gigantic meat-eating reptiles of the
ancient world. They also gathered manv
bones OF the ancient beaked lizard, the
rhynchosaur. Scattered remains of early
members OF this group have been found
in India, England and Russia but never
in such numbers as were gathered bv
the Harvard Psychologists in South
America. Apparently large number of
them were trapped in a quicksand
formation.
The rhynchosaurs were slow, heavy
lizards about 6 feet long inhabiting boggy
lands and mashing their food between
oeak shaped jaws. This genus Is one
OF the few ancient reptile groups still
extant-the strange, living" fossil,
Spenodon, found in New Zealand being
the last survivor.
Uncovering the rich new fossil bed
was the result of hundreds of miles of
exploring by the Americans. They prob
ably arrived in the nick of time. Rocks
IN the area are being pulverized and
burned for plaster and probably during
the last generation untold quantities of
Tr1assic fossils have been destroyed.
Some OF the finest obtained were rescued
from rock piles destined for the plaster
kilns within the next few days. Most of
the specimens were dug from red clay
by hand.

Successful Bill.

Successful Bill.
My brother Bill, he has big feet
And freckled hands. His eyebrows meet
His hair is red as hickory fire.
His mustache looks like rusty wire.
OF grammar he makes scant display
And modest is his weekly pay.
My brother Jim is rather slim.
The ladies often glance at him
With eyes to sentiment inclined.
They say "Oh, is he not reflned!"
But Jim's bachelor who goes
To night clubs and to music shows.
He spends the daytime by himself
Devising schemes to gather pelf,
While Bill has bought coy home
From which he never wants to roam.
His wife will smile. The kids will sing
They think Bill is the real thing.
When people look at brother Jim
They frankly say they envy him.
While Bill has never cared a lot
Whether folks noticed him or not.
Bills life is modest, but 1 guess
Well have to call 1t 4 Success.
