Reason being? Though there is
plenty, or even a surplus, Of "af-
fection" between parents and
grown children, there is rarely any
real friendship. And this, the
anonymous mother bravely de,
clares, is Mons own fault. She
has disqualified herself for friend

MOTHER LOVE CAN BE IN.

1T CAN ALSO BE A DEVOURING

How often is Mother willing, how

myself, am fed up with the mis-
use of the term. Motherhood should
be the most intelligent and inSpir-

the most sacred and beautiful.
Actually, mothering is all too often

THAT'S THE LAW
Why is a mother so often q

why. Motherhood gives her the

With her baby's first cry she au.

she struggle further? Answer is
she doesn't.
Then she wonders why her High

All of which boils down to the
plain fact that MOTHERS ARE

CANNES

CANNES
Cannes and spots nearby have
come in for plenty of attention
lately, and the mayor Of Cannes
doesn't know whether to be gloomy
or happy over the fact that a
certain famous woman chose to
leave England for the quiet and
beauty of a lovely villa in his dis
trict.
Many of the English people
who form the permanent colony
insist they will move elsewhere,
but on the other hand. people who
haven't wintered at Cannes for
years have developed a desire to
walk along the Croisette. Yes, it
is a charming part Of the Riviera.
and we are glad that it is once
more basking in the limelight.
Fame suits Cannes.
FOUR REGIONS
Cannes is but one spot of a
seaboard that lies along the
Mediterranean from MarseilleS to
Mentone. For convenience the
coast may be divided into four
regions: The Calanques, from
MarseilleS to Toulon: the Maures,
from Toulon to Saint Raphael; the
Esterel, from Saint Raphael to

The writer of said article Is a
Dear Mother-aged 58-a widow

But does she cVljoy it? SHE
DOES NOT! To the contrary,
she considers it a tiresome, exas-

affectionate protestations, there is
every evidence that her children
regard it likewise.

All of which, she declares, is

THE LION ROARED

the boys will go for their fun,
there is a good example in the
story about the satirical moving
pictures shown at the recent
White House correspondents din

One of the reels was to show
Secretary Steve Early at his press
conference. The boys evolved the
idea that it would be pretty good
to show Mr.. Early jumping around
as a lion because he roars and
roars when the boys question him
too closely. The idea was all right
but then came the problem Of
where they were going to get the

Cooperation Needed

TT HAS been obvious for some time that any efforts
i made by Washington to reclaim the Potomac River
would fail to accomplish that purpose fully unless they
were supplemented by similar efforts the part of
States which border the river.
For that reason the plan of the Washington Board of
Trade for joint meeting of representatives Of those
States and representatives of the District is logical
and necessary step if this is to realize the full
benefits available through proper treatment Of the
stream.
There are at present several plans and projects under
way for improvement of the harbor of Washington and
for eliminating pollution of the river in the immediate
vicinity of the National Capital.
This city is building large plant to handle the
pollution problem and there is to believe that
start will soon be made Improvement of the appear
qnce of the water front and the provision of adequate
iers and anchorage basins for small boa
The pollution problem, however, cannot be solved
without the sympathetic and active cooperation of the
States and communities which touch the upper reaches
of the river.
This cooperation is being sought by the Board of
Trade through it's rivers and harbors committee under
Chairman John A. Remon.

There are no fencing laws. If

possible for the Georgian to hunt

These random travellers notes
supply a backdrop for Henry
FoBd's agricultural-industrial mil
lennium which he is going to estao-
lish in that zone of highly individ-
ualized, squirrel gun, catch as :
catch-can agriculture. On the
Ogeechee River, Mr. Ford, nursing
a dream of years, will strive for
farm-factory paradise where the
land, power and human resources
of strength and skill will be woven
together on a self-sustaining COM
munity.
FORD'S THEORY
Mr.. Ford is a benevolent indi-
v;dualist. He hates waste and mud
ding, He believes, and has long
believed, that the earth God gave
us will yield abundance for all IL
we use it sensib.y. He is an earn
est, resourceful devotee OF the idea
that a scientific utilization Of hui
man and material resources must
and will replace competitive ex-
ploitation.
The essence of his plan provides
for a combination of the manu-
facturer of automobile parts and
farming. He clings to the idea
that our great modern Industrial
empire must somehow be rooted
in the soil.
1--WE will have the proper pro-
portions of people Of all ages"
says Mr.. Ford. 1--WE won't have
to import anybody. Folks right
here will have plenty of skill.
Everybody will have a part in
farming, whether he owns q
farm jointly or in his own name.
Everything hinges around the
school and the future of those
educated here. Well turn out
skilled mechanics, and their
services will be eagerly sought
by others"
Mr.. Fords firm belief in folks
right here" is one of the most like,
able and admirable things about
him. This shrewd, instructive
philosopher, with a mind free OF
bookish obfuscation, is keenly
aware of the danger and insecurity
of a highly complex exchange
economy, with an extreme division
of labor; of the waste Of great
labor turnover and the flux of un-
happy and insecure migratory
labor; of the subordination OF hui
man values to the vagarieS OF the
world price systems, or the fluctua-
tions of gold.
For 81 years or more, he has
been obsessed with dreams and
schemes for the integration OF in.

effort was the now almost for

Senator Frederick Hale intro

Being a Republican himself, It
was not in his mind that his
State needed any relief from the
badgering it has received, but the
bill concerned property valued at

Federal Government during a fire

Lives Can Still Be Saved

THE District Commissioners efforts to bring about
a month without traffic fatality didn't succeed
for very long.
Within comparatively few hours after proclama-
on asking for cooperation of operators of vehicles and
pedestrians to that end was issued, man had been
killed.
This fact however, should not mean an end of the
effort.
It should the contrary stimulate the movement to
curtail the hideous toll of our streets.
When they issued their proclamation the Commits
soners probably didn't have much hope that their full
goal could be achieved but simply sought an impressive
way of approaching the community.

Of some years back, F. D. R. knew
a secret. That secret was his
nomination of Black, and he did
not consult the Attorney General
or anyone else about it. This is
largely responsible for his present
predicament regarding the Ala
baman. And the Senate chose
not to open UP the Khan question.
There is not a lawyer here in
the Capital but believes Blacks
position is legally unasSailable and
that impeachment talk from such
statesmen as Manhattan's tough

bunk, nor does the court have
