Not since June, 1887, has the U. S.
treasury asked the capital market
for "new money!" though last De-
cember it borrowed $3.50, 900, 600 to
pay maturing bills. But when con-
gress voted billions for relief this
past spring, when Recession kept
government payrolls swollen above
normal, it was obvious that money
must come from somewhere. Fort

In Ohio, 10000 aged people re-
ceive federal-state assistance, which
costs the U. S. social security board
approximately 81 ,275, 900 per month.
In August when he ran for Demo
cratic denomination, Ohio's Gov.
Martin L. Davey pointed with pride
at his record. One accomplishment:
Establishment of old age assistance,
which has also been established in
AZ other states.
Three days before the primary,
Social Security's Director Frank
Bane charged Governor Davey with
using old age assistance to get
votes. Though the governor was de-
feated, that did not stop Social Sc
curity from sending out investiga-
tors who last week reported to
Chairman Arthur j. Altmeyer.
At a hearing from which Martin
Davey pointedly absented himself,
Social Security claimed that Cd re-
quests for old-age aid addressed di-
rectly to Governor Davey received
preferential treatment; (2) some
pensioners were told it would be
"a good idea" to vote for Governor
Davey; 90 political and personal
influence replaced the merit system

personnel.

ming Fuehrers Hitler and Henlein
opened them, found satisfaction for
every demand except ID establish
ment of one-unit government for
Sudetens and (2) freedom for prac-
tice of Nazi theology.
Prague's concessions might have
been sufficient a week earlier, but
shrewd Adolf Hitler now saw a
chance to take the whole hog. Brit
ain, anxious to avoid war at all cost,
had capitulated, unofficially admit
ting she was willing to sell Czecho-
slovakia down the river. And by
midnight another unexpected JOY
had developed, so important that
Konrad Henlein was sent scurrying
back home with orders to hold out
for complete surrender.
At Maehrisch-Ostrau in Sudeten
territory, Czech mounted policemen
had horsewhipped a noisy crowd,
striking Sudeten legislator on the
shoulders. While apologize Prague
fastened its investigation, the in
cident offered Konrad Henlein new
chance to play the role of martyr.
Next day, with all odds in his IA
vor, Der Fuehrer could afford to
assure the world of his peaceful in
tentions. While Nuremberg's show
continued, he received Germany's
foreign diplomatic corps, including
Frances Andre Francois-Poncet
who suggested: "Democracies are
not exactly lauded at the Nurem-
berg congress, but their emissaries
usually feel welcome" Answered
expansive Adolf Hitler: ST hope to
continue to make the ambassadors
feel welcome, and I also hope that
during my regime no mother will
have cause for wet eyes on account
of any action of mine.''
Most foreign ENJOYS left after the
reception, but not Britain's Sir
Neville Henderson. He stuck around
like a guest who won't go home,
trying to corner either Der Fuehrer
or Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop. If he succeeded, Ger
many would learn that Godfrey
Dawson was only fooling, that Bri-

AUiatiOn
u. S. commercial airlines could
not operate without government
mail subsidy, but since 1884 even
that assistance has been insufficient
to prevent huge deficits. Part of the

tic practices caused the U. S. army's
painful experience with air mail five
years ago. Throughout its brief his

1t Appears ToUnsendisn1
Is Not Dead After All

AS I said there is evidence that
Townsendism is not dead at all. It
has formed the basis of dozen new
panaceas, of which the $30-every-
Thursday is but an example. It
happened that this scheme was pro-
posed in California which, particu-
larly in its southern sections, has
vast population of aged people who
have gone there to enjoy the famous
climate and have the health that it
gives them. Old people are mill
family behind these schemes. That
is one of the reasons why Mr.. Down.
ey was able to boast more than
million signatures to the petition
that made the question an issue in
California. And Florida, too, with
a fine winter climate, is a fertile
field for the racketeers who pro-
mote such ridiculous programs. 1t
is harsh thing to blame the
strength of these movements, all of
which crop up during depression
times, upon elderly people. 1t is
nevertheless the cold fact that they
are the type among whom such
schemes are promoted, and because
they have votes, the candidate for
office stoops to the level of adding
further to hopes that never can be
fulfilled in that manner.
To show how silly the scheme of
$30-every-Thursday is as a cam
paign issue for Mr.. Downey-just
as an example-he is candidate
for the United States senate. The
pension dream he has advocated is
planned as part of the welfare pro-
gram of the state of California. How
Mr.. Downey can do anything about
it as a member of the United States
senate, I can not understand, and
seriously doubt that Mr.. Downey
can explain it.
Nor will the plan work if made
into law without bankrupting the
state of California. I doubt that it
will work anyway, but assuming
that it may work, the state will be
assuming burden that will cost
it so much money that the Cali
fornia books will be SO far in the
red as to cause them to appear
splotched with blood. This idea of
placing stamps on each warrant
each week so that an actual $1.O4

WASHINGTON. - A good many
Fasteners had nearly forgotten
about DR.. Francis Townsend and his
$2OO-a-month pension plan until
lately they were suddenly awak-
ened by the far South and the far
West. Sen. Claude Pepper won
Democratic nomination to the SEN
ate in Florida largely because of
espousal of the Townsend plan and
just recently Sen. William G.. Nc
Adoo had his public career abruptly
terminated because Sheridan Down
ey, his opponent for the Democratic
senatorial nomination in California,
proposed and promised some fam
tastlc scheme of paying $50 every
Thursday to persons over so years
of age.
In addition to these results, there
have been IL or Is candidates for
the nomination to the house of rep
resentatives who have won in pri-
marles by saying the Townsend
plan or the $30-every-Thu or
some other impossible and illogical
and unsound pension plan would be
put through congress. I cannot de-
scribe them all; they are obviously
variations of the Townsend plan,
and none of them will work any
more than the Townsend bubble will
work, and each has been used to
delude aged and infrm voters
whose ballots were needed to swing
an election.
1t is tragic that such things have
happened, and are happening to-
day. The fact cannot be ignored,
however, because the condition is
with US. The one thing to do, then,
i believe, is to attempt to disillusion
those folks who have swallowed the
slick words of those campaigners or
those racketeers who are preying
upon the faith of folks who, through
no fault of their own, do not have
access to information that shows
these schemes to be rainb0ws. And,
as far as history records, nobody on
earth ever has found the end of the
rainbow where the pot of gold is
reputed to be.
am not concerned about the pub
lie career of Mr.. McAdoo who has
been in public service off and on
since 1913. He neverimpressed me
as being any great shakes of a
statesman. AS secretary of the
treasury, he did the job probably
about as well as the average politi-
cal appointee. I never have had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. Downey.
So I can't comment. Senator Pep
per's senate record is great deal
like many another senator's record,
and probably will continue to be just
$3.50. In other words, here were
two average senators-one winning
with the aid of the promises about
the Townsend plan and the other
losing because he stayed away
from such promises, although he
was thrice blessed by the President
of the United States. That situation,
along with some letters accusing me
of giving the Townsend plan a "si-
lent treatment in these columns,
seems to warrant a new analysis of
the conditions that now confront the
country.

L0UeNHandS

The good old custom of hand
kissing was certainly a sign of
devotion in ancient times. 1t
may have been romantic for the
ladies. but their evident distaste
for hand washing must have
been hard on their ardent
Swains.
This aversion to hand-washing
was not confined to the COM
mon people. According to one
historic tidbit, Queen Christine,
who lived for time at the luxur-
ious court of Louis Fourteenth
in 18th Century, France, went
about with hands 80 filthy, it
was impossible to detect any
beauty in them"
Queen Marguerite of Navarro,
the royal authoress of that same
era, once wrote a romantic dia-
louge in which the heroine says
to her noble lover, Behold these
beautiful hands; though I have
not cleaned them for eight days,
I wager they eclipse yours"
No wonder men rode joyfully
off to wars and military expedi-
tions that took them far away
from home! It's hard to i'm
asine a man of modern days
venting to hold a hand, much
less to kiss one, that isn't eX-
G,.jsitely dainty right down 10
the finger tips. Well-groomed
hands have a lure that is ire
sistible, and no girl with an
ounce of common sense would

A bag of this sort is usually
just as good bag as we can af-

are careful to avoid light COL

are made up with the darker
leather or silks. and all we need
to do is to keep it neat and
clean and not too crammed
with a lot of unnecessary
things.
1t should be no trouble to keep
a bag in good order, but we
are surprised to find how many
really fastidious girls seem to
forget the bag housekeeping
when they put their clothes in
order. We should never have
to apologize for the disorderly
contents of a bag, and as it is
always in use, the rule should
be to look it over every night.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A dear friend of mine has
gone to a distant State to be
married secretly. would
like very much to have a mis-
cellaneous shower for her when
she returns.
Will you please tell me
what kind of invitations I should
send out for this party, and If
this would be appropriate to
have after she is married?
A.
Sometimes a shower is
given for a girl after she has
been married, and there is no
reason why it should not be
given then, especially under the
circumstances you set forth in
your question. But it would be
best form to invite only her
close friends to this shower.
Your plan to have it a miscel-
laneous shower is an excellent
choice.
Wouldn't you like to have your
invitations in the form of notes?
Maybe somewhat like this:

the queens taste, so your family
will never know you're giving it
to them for their health. Or use
them as salads. Dardelion
green's with French dressing and
plenty of garlic make a savory
salad. Cooked with nacon. they
make a fine combination with
ham or veal.
Asparagus season is here.
From the nearby South comes
the thin green kind fresh from
the gardens. This is less expen-

asparagus is arriving from Cali

that is.
Don't forget rhubarb. This is
another good for one when
made into sauce, pie, or COM

Potomac shad has not come
in as yet but excellent shad
from the bay nearby is plenti-
full in the market. The roe shad
is selling at 40 cents a pound
and the buck shad at Is cents

Here is a letter from a girl which explains
what mean.
Dear Mr.. Antheil: am what folks cal q
home girl and boys cal flat tire I won't
smoke. pet or drink. I am very lonely because
have no dates. Should stay home and twiddle
my thumbs until am an old maid or discontinue
being a home girl I have always thought
boys wanted nice girls for their wives. But when
they take nice girls out they don't respect them.
I am 10 and have stayed home for two years.
7 look well and am respectable. Should I stay
put as a home girl?'-T. L."
No! Surprised you, didn't I? You thought I
would go into rhapsodies over the virtues Of the
dear girl who stays at home and twiddles her
thumbs. What an existence for a redblooded
girl! 1t has its compensatons for lazy girl.
She doesn't have to exert herself to get dressed
up, be entertaining, please folks or absorb new
ideas She can go home from work, take off her
regala, slip into something sloppy and stagnate
in the bosom of her family which doesn't have
to be entertained
Can't
Fool Me
You can't fool me. The so-called "home gil"
isn't one that brightly rushes around the house
doing things for others and radiating sunshine.
She is e. dull lonely, bitter girl who sits by the
hour envying her happy sisters who are not too
lazy to get busy and make their lives interesting.
don't deny that if you do go out with boys
you may have to do something to keep them in
terested. don't deny that some of them may
make nuisances Of themselves by getting fresh.
But won't it do something to you to rub up
against real living if part of it does offend
you? Staying at home wrapped in cotton wool
Stagnating won't develop anything in you but
habits of laZineSS and indifference
