Ter and Stain, have the effect OF

Some persons who are opposed to
the New Deal have been mean
n, enough to say that
bt0cR Mr.. Roosevelt took
Khan Afoir his trip West in or
der to get away
from Washington until the incident
involving Associate Justice Black
had blown over. ! do not know
whether the exposure that Mr.. JUS
tice Black had been member of
the Ku Klux Klan alone prompted
Mr.. Roosevelt to leave. ] repeat
only what is being said.
Mr.. Justice Black has now taken
his seat as mem Der of the court.
He told the country in q ra1 o
speech before assuming the robes oil
Office that he had resigned from the
Klan and that, as far as he was
concerned, the incident was closed.
He stopped somewhat, think, when
he tried to dodge the issue by charg-
ing that those who had exposed his
Khan connections were trying to dis
credit Mr.. Roosevelt. But, Mr..
Black is now a member of the court
and do not see what anybody can
do In the way of unseating him.
The reason for adverting again to
the Black Khan affair is to make a
prediction. That prediction is: as
long as Mr.. Black sits as member
of the Supreme court of the United
States, he will receive repercussions
of the case. I will wager now that
regardless of what position Mr..
Black takes in deciding any future
litigation, there will be those who
will point to him and remark that
she was once a member of the
Ku Klux Klan." Likewise, regard
less Of the views or arguments he
advances in any decisions rendered
by the court, Mr.. Black will be re-
ferred to continuously as ''the Khan
member" or as ''the Roosevelt Lib
era1-"
Take it any way you like-the ap-
pointment and the confirmation of
Hugo Black as member of the SUI
preme court under the circum-
stances now known and affirmed by
Mr.. Black himself constitutes one of
the worst situations yet recorded on
the appointive power Of the Presi-
dent and the power Of the senate to
approve presidential nominations.
But laying aside all of these
things, there is a real tragedy re-
sa,lting from the circumstance. If
there is one branch or agency of our
government in which it is necessary
for the people as a whole to have
faith, it is in the judiciary. I think
! can foresee that the Black ap-
pointment and its attendant features
viii shake the faith of many indi-
viduals in courts.
1t ought never to have happened.

Motorists will learn with
more than the usual interest
that after a trial in several
states of mo speed limit" on
the highways, the expert
ment has proved a failure.
Michigan, one of the first of
the few states that let down
the bars and permitted driv-
ers to use their own judy,
ment on the open road, raises
her hands in horror at a 15
percent increase in fatalities
over last year, and is plan
ming to return to former
speed limits. The motorist,
it seems, cannot be relied
upon to stick to a safe and
sane speed; it requires a law,
strictly enforced, to make
him do 80.
With the death toll in
America so far this year the
highest I'm history, 1t is
obvious that something must
be done, and done quickly,

Everything we've got in the world

Everything we've got in the world
gone-but Around the World Annie's
dance hall wasn't even touched!"
Yet everything was not gone. The
shadows of the lake were splotched
with possessions, where hurrying re-
fugees had thrown them, hopeful for
rescue at later time; tents, bedding,
pieces of homemade furniture, tar
covered hams and bacon, cans of desic-
Gated food, blankets, mattresses, even
hunks and rustic bedsteads and china
ware were scattered indiscriminately
about in the water to await sorting
when danger was gone. That time
was yet distant.
The wind lessened again, the smoke
lay thick and deep. An airplane motor
sounded, swiftly approaching. For a
time the ship circled, in long banks,
as it's pilot strove to find a break in
the blanket of invisibility beneath
them. Then lower it came, searching
desperately; at last it showed family
through the deep-brown haze as the
AVIATOR spotted the RATS and made
certain of clear stretches of water
where a landing would not endanger
life. Again the ship banked. Then
it seemed to drop flat to the surface
of the lake, splashing water in great
waves as it bounced eerily along, set
tied in long surging leaps, and finally
TAXED toward the shadows.
It halted, motor idling. The cabin
door opened. A forester swung out
to a slippery pontoon.
where's Jack Hammond?" he
shouted to the dripping miners, who,
wet hands to their nostrils, had half
risen from the bar. Jack waved.
Then, hands to his puffed face, he
rose and splashed forward, the pilot
and forest ranger, each with nostrils
shielded, shouting for him to hurry.
He reached the plane and clambered
from the pontoon into the cabin, the
ranger slamming the door as he fol-
lowed. The motor snarled with ac-
celeration; quickly the pilot swung and
abruptly sent the ship into the air.
Hammond leaned close to the ranger.
"What's up?' he shouted.
"Terry sent me after you. Wants
you to take charge of one of the air

so we can all get little rest. Ter
ry's busy below. We're going to try
to block off the blaze. Terry says

you know the country"

Hammond nodded and was silent,
looking out the side of the cabin.
They were moving swiftly down the
lake; dimly, very dimly beneath, were
revealed the life RATS. Hammond's
eyes searched every one-there was
time when he would have looked
thus for only on person, Kay Joyce.
But now he found himself wondering
which of the huddled patches of gray
down there on those giant squares was
Jeanne Towers, and if she were safe
from fumes or suffocation.
"Got fire fighting equipment"
"Plenty."
"Hose and tankage?"
"Yeh-and dynamite. Been bringing
up a lot of Indians from around TAX
la lake-they know their business.
Ought to-; they set enough fires down
in that region so that they can get
paid for putting them out"
They were at quite an altitude, but
still in fog.
"This smoke goes up plenty high, ("
Hammond said. Even as he men,
toned it, he became aware. that the
air had cleared, that he was breath
ing deeply for the first time that day.
The ranger leaned closer.
"Not smoke; Clouds" he shouted.
'The visibility's hell. Getting colder
-freeze-up probably"
'Hope so."
The forester grimaced. No one
hoped that more than he. Then:
"Know any place we could get in up
here, to start cutting off this blaze?
If we can back-fire down below and
cut 'er off here, it'll save a half bill
lion feet of timber" That was the
job now, to save timber. But in saw
ing it, Hammond knew, lives must be
risked, perhaps lives given. He point
ed toward Whoopee.
eve can work through the inlet, !"
he said. "The fire missed that. The
smoke raised for a few minutes, and I
got a look. It's clear"
Thus the grueling task began, air
planes which banked and SKINNED
the surface of the lake, which took
desperate chances, which dropped
recklessly downward through the
smoke pail to discharge their car
goes, then took off as deperately with
no clear knowledge of shore or tree.

and snarled, like the air force of some
hidden army, working high in the
clouds, where no one might see.
Smoke had cut off all vision, save
that of nearby objects. The wind
had lessened it's intensity somewhat
and brought with it's abatement only
greater suffering to these refugees,
dependent upon the lake for their lives
Deep in the broad waters, the life
RATS, huge affairs, each capable of
bearing a hundred persons, floated
with their clusters of human freight,
lying flat on the soggy logs and COW
cred by equally soggy blankets. There
was no air as such, save the thin lay
er which lay close to the water. 9th
erwise, all was fetid death; oxygen
had been almost eliminated. Resin
and wood fumes cut the nostrils; heat
and smoke poison loaded the atmos-
phere to a point of suffocation. The
person who would escape death or
smoke sickness must lie with nostrils
only inches from the lake; an attempt
to breathe for long the poisonous air
above meant fatality.
No one slept. No one even thought
of it. The threat of death by flame
or suffocation had eradicated even the
need of it; sleep is a necessity of
peace; insomnia blessing in time of
danger.
Jack Hammond was not on q raft.
He lay on a shallow bar, his eyes
closed, his head barely above water.
All about him were evidences of life;
here a dripping hand emerged to wipe
at a steaming face, there man rolled
uncomfortably, squirting water as he
he cooled his hot mouth.
All those who had labored late in
the town were here; groans, attested
to the pain of miners who, struggling
too long, had rushed for the lake with
their clothing aflame. Now, with the
touch of water aggravating the tor
ture of their burns, they had no sur

and wait. Here, too, were the dogs;
many, bushwise, waiting philosophi-

cally. Others impatient, broke at
times from the water, only to return
whimpering.
Daylight had come; it meant little
in the way of visibility, save for few
moments when the wind freshened
again, whipping away the smoke long
enough to permit a fleeting view of
the surrounding country. The town
was gone, except for smoldering log
squares where cabins had been. But

marsh fire, now throwing a tenfoot
wall of flame upward as it cracked
along it's line of defense toward the
forest. Then suddenly, he changed
his mind; he whirled and made for the
smoky outlines of the deeper timber.

afraid not" Hammond answered.
"Unless he knows a way to circle the
main fire. There's still q half mile
or so of bush that isn't burning-he
might make the lake."
"Not if it's any hotter in there than
it is here" The workman rubbed at
smarting eyes.
They were beginning to approach
the end of endurance; at last, they
were forced to turn back. The heat
had become that of a superheated ov-
en-. Men were staggering, clawing at
their throats. Nevertheless, they re-
treated with hope; the grass fire had
reached the forest; tree had blazed
up with booming explosion, the fire
spreading to other trees about it.
But the hope faded. Even before
they had reached the town again, en-
bers were falling there. The wind
heightened, blowing the smoke clouds
over the huddled little settlement, like
great pillows of black-red fog. The
forms of men were only family visible,
as they worked at the burying of
stores, or strove to lug down to the
lake the possessions they deemed most
valuable, their dogs snarling and fight
ing about them. Then a cry came,
highpitched, frantic.
Help me, somebody! Help me with
my cabin. It's caught fire!"
The effort was useless. In another
ten minutes a dozen structures were
blazing; the red-black clouds above
seemed to have loosed veritable rain
of fire. Heavy embers, as large as
mans arm, and blazing fiercely were
falling thickly; it seemed impossible
that a wind could carry anything so
weighty. Spruce needles, half burnt,
or untouched, drove in upon the town
like the pelt of a sleet storm. The
night was electric with sparks.
"Get to the lake!" shouted Ham,
mond. "The towns done for!"
He was among the last to- go. Up
on the hill, the cottage which he had
built for Kay was mass of crawling
flame. Farther on, Bruce Kenning's
cabin stood outlined, its roof already
caving. His own cabin was red with
destruction.
Thus he watched his past, its hopes,
its dreams, its agonizing disappoint-
ments, die to the touch of an all-con-
suming torch. At last, he turned
away, gaunt from physical and men
tai pain, and followed the other re-
fugees down to the lake.
All that night the airplanes roared
above Sapphire lake-the ships which
had left with the beginning of the
fire, to seek pumps and tanks and dy-
