STEAM speed

ing on the first of ten new stream
lined locomotives being built to
haul passengers between New York
and Boston at 100 miles an hour.
These new giants of the rails are
neither electric nor Diesels-they
are steam engines.
Checking over some figures of
railroad speeds, l found that none
of the modern high-speed trains
makes as fast time as used to be
made from 1897 on for several
years between Camden and Allan
tic City. The regular daily schedule
called for g miles an hour.
Railroad speeds slowed down
when steel cars replaced the old
wooden ones which weighed only
half as much. But now the steam
locomotive builders have put more
power and speed into the iron
horse" and l look to see new long
distance speed records made for
heavy trains.
CHIMNEYS -. exit?
Two newspaper items about
chimneys caught my eye the other
day. The Duke of Windsor, who
was King of England for a while
entertained the chimney sweeps of
Enzesfeld, Austria, the boys who
climb up Tor DOWN chimneys to
clean them. And chemical engineers
meeting in New York discussed a
new way of "scrubbing" chimney
smoke, to recover sulphur and re-
move poisonous gasses.
All of which reminded me that
chimneys are quite a new invention
in the long history of the human
race. 1t was not until about the
time hat Gutenberg invented
printing, not long before Column
bus discovered America, that peo-
pie began to build flues to carry
off the smoke from their fires. Be,
fore then, a hole in the ROOT
answered the purpose, as it doe
still with the Eskimos and the 81.

obsolete again, when we do all GU,

DISTRIBUTION
If you want to make a fortune,
devise some sure-fire way of dis
tributing merchandise to consul
mers more economically than any,
one is doing it now. l am not joking
when l say there are millions to be
made by anyone who can do that,
for millions upon millions have
been made by those who devised the
most efficient distribution systems
now in use.
Chain stores, mail order houses,
advertising of every kind, are all
parts of the most efficient distri-
button system yet involved. No
where else in the world are all kinds
of goods so readily and cheaply
obtained by everybody as in Amer
lea.
From 40 to 80 per cent of what
the retail customer paws for mos+
low-priced goods represents the
cost of getting the article into the
consumers hands. Nobody makes
much of a profit anywhere along
the line, but everybody who helps
to pass any article on toward the
buyer has to be paid out of the fl
nal selling price. Find a way to
cut that cost, young man, and the
world will reward you with mil
lions.

IF there was ever a snapshooter's
paradise, it's school for those who
attend it. 1t may be One-room'
school or it may be a great uni
versity. Wherever, whatever it may
be, it's crammed with unbeatable
picture possibilities.
Yet we might as we'll face the fact
of the matter--few snapshooters
make the most of schools snap
shooting opportunities. sy
Perhaps they are dazzled by the
very wealth of the material at hand.
More likely, they assume that some
body else is going to take the pic
lures. And that's a fatal mistake.
For nobody else can see things as
YOU see them. And it's what you see
that means most to you-and to the
folks at home, now or years from
now.
The question, then, is how to make
the most of schools picture posi-
bilitiesaA little planning will do the
trick.
First, about the right camera for
school. Any camera will do, provid-
ing it is clean and in good order and
uses a size Of film that is easily
available anywhere. If yours has a
fast lens and fast shutter, you'll
have an advantage in taking shots
at sporting events, but such cam
era is not at all essential. With a

opportunities for
pictures that you will enjoy in years to come

little care you can make even the
simples+ box camera turn out en-
tfreIy satisfactory pictures.
Then, how can snapshooting be
planned? All of it, of course, cannot
be planned, but many of the most
important shots can be. Why not
work out a scenario, Hollywood fash
ion?
First of all, whether schools just
around the corner or a thousand
miles away, you'll want a few good
shots of home. Then view or two
taken on the way to school. Maybe
those views seem commonplace now.
but wait a few years.
At school, of course, there are the
obvious shots Of the buildings, the
grounds, new classmates, teachers,
old friends, sports, picnics, class
ceremonies, and SO On. It's a good
idea to take them SO as to form a
kind of continued story. Then, when
they are mounted in your album,
the pictorial story will flow along
evenly.
A really good collection of school
pictures is hard to find, as any
school yearbook editor will tell
you. Yet there's nothing much
easier to take; and few snapshots
increase in value, year after year,
as surely as those taken at school,

URGES
DELAY ON
MEASURE
Presidential Help Is
Indicated in Note
Of Budget Head

In surprise move, the budget
bureau today asked for delay on
the McCarran Government EN-.
ployes pay increase bill, revealing
for the first time that the Admin
iStration is making q study of
Federal personnel conditions and
plans to make recommendation
at this session of Congress for per-
Sonnel legislation.
The revelation of the Admins
tratlon'S survey, at the conclusion
of which President Roosevelt will
make a report to Congress, was
contained in letter to Senator
William j. Bulow CD, of South
Dakota. chairman of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, from
Director of the Budget D. w. Bell.
Mr. Bells letter was the long
awaited report from the budget
bureau requested by Bulow'S COM
mittee on the bill introduced by
Senator Pat McCarBan CD, Of
Nevada. to raise the pay of Gov.
ernment employees and to extend
classification to employees of all
emergency agencies. The McCar.
ran measure establishes a min.
imum of $500 and increases all
salaries up $4,000.
The budget bureau director re-
vealed that the administration sur.
vey now under way will look into
the general subject of classifica-
ton, compensation and retire
ment, and that the Administra-
ton will report to the present
Congress with recommendations
for legislation.
Mr.. Bells letter. which was
very short, follows in part:
"a study of the general sub
ject of classification, compensa.
ton and retirement of Govern
ment employees is now being
made with a view to making a
report to the present Congress
embOdying recommendations for
enactment of legislation in the
interest Of personnel conditions.
In these circumstances, l feel
that action on this bill, and
any other bill of like character
and import, should be deferred
while this study is under way
and until the President makes a
report to Congress on the sub
jeCt."

Lewis Calls Farley in
Pittsburgh As Auto
Strike Ends
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

Counting the automobile strike
settlement a victory now won,
John L. Lewis and his CLIO. in
dustrial union forces today fixed
late March or early April as the
zero hour for a frontal attack on
the steel industry.
That attack will open with a
convention of steel workers in
Pittsburgh. At this meeting, for
the first time in history acting as
a unified, single body, steel work
erS will draft and present to en-
ployerS a comprehensive program
of increased wages and improved
working conditions.
Demands Prepared
A skeletonized program Of de-
mands has been worked out by
Phillip Murray, who has headed
the C. I. O.s organizing campaign
in the steel industry for Lewis.
The organizing campaign has
been underway for months, and
leaders reported membership to-
tails running past the 10000
mark. Less than "a hours after
the automobile strike settlement
was made, the word was passed
to C. I. o. leaders that steel was
next, and that the c. I. o. will
move in" within so days.
Major objectiveS of the steel
workers have been clearly out
lined, Murray said. although he
added that the details will have
to be drafted and approved by the
Pittsburgh convention.
The steel organizing campaign
has been conducted through the
Amalgamated Association of Iron.

CATHOLICS
$4,000 in Vera Cruz
Reopen Churches in
Defiance Of Army

MEXICO CITY, Feb. IL GN.SO.
Governor Miguel Aleman, of the
State of Vera Cruz, was in tight
"spot" today after $4,000 Catholics,
demanding religious liberty in the
city of Orizaba, forced him to de-
eide quickly whether to give in or
send troops into action.
The aroused Catholics took the
law into their own hands by re-
opening churches and defying
troops. They staged a huge
demonstration before the COVER
nor's headquarters, shouting that
religious restrictions must be re-
moved.
Limitations regarding the mum.
Der of priests and churches in the
state must be rescinded, they de-
clared.
The governor took the Cath
ollcS' petitions under considera.
alton after seeking advice by tele-
phone from President Lazaro Car
denas. Nature of the instructions
he received was not disclosed.
Friction between Catholics and
State authorities in Vera Cruz
dates back to 1926, when former
President Plutarco Elias Gales de-
clared war on the church.
Adalberto j. Tejeda, then gov
ernor of Vera Cruz, who was widely
known for his radical views, al
though he was born and reared as
a Catholic, decreed there could be
only one priest and one church for
every 100000 inhabitants.
This meant only IA priests and
IA churches for approximately L.
100000 men, women and children,
95 per cent Of whom are Catholics.
He made things so uncomfortable
for the clergy that they fled.
