Barbara was thrilled with the
baseball and took it directly to
her playhouse in the rear Of her
family's house, placed the base
ball on a black painted stand
and invited the rest of the
neighborhood children in to
have a look. But-this look just
cost the other children 2 cents,
and 5 cents if she allowed them
to hold the precious baseball in
their hands. Well, the proceeds
on the first day of looking and
touching amounted to so cents.
This SO cents Barbara took to
her school next day and gave to
the foreign missions.
Since then, even more money
has been gained for these mis-
sions and evidently will con-
tinue to pour in as long the
the neighborhood curiosity keeps
up. Meanwhile, to repay Bucky
Harris, Barbara has offered to
give Bucky's young son, Jr., one
of her pedigreed Scottie puppies
and has also saved enough of
her weekly allowance to take
Uncle Floyd CiSsell and Frank
Morse to one of the Washington
teams games.
EARL CARROLL. blew into

luncheon at the Mayflower, a
chat With us, and then take a
plane for California to see about
his new theater there. Earl Car
roll, somehow, didn't abide by
anything we had ever heard
about him. Sandy-haired and
blue-eyed, and so quiet that he
could go in and out Of a place
a dozen times and never be no
ticed, he possesses the most
compelling personality. It may
be his RabelaiSian sense of hui
NOR, or his quick, concise opin-
lonS-on everything, or the droll
and casual manner that is so a
part of him, but whatever it is,
it is extremely entertaining and
different.

II known young lawyer in
town, has accepted and made
his own a very complacent at
titude about the war clouds in
the world today. He admits that
he has, for some time, belonged
to the Third Cavalry Reserve,
and that the other day he re-
ceived a cheerful note from one
of his fellow officers, informing
him not to worry about any
thing, that they had already
picked his own special horse
for him. That's being prepared.

DriveTs--Or Driven?
(Rotarian Magazine)

We still have to learn how to live with the auto- mobile Both pedestrians and drivers much at the mercy of other drivers. At the wheel, are also at the mercy of ourselves when driving skill is inadequate And in a sense, we are at the mercy of the machine.
 For one thing many modern motorcars go faster than many modern drivers think-and act. Cannonbal" Baker professional record-smasher, who has driven more than three million miles often at forced speeds, and who has had only one accident and that when his own was standing still says: "The average mans reflexes not fast enough to handle the top speeds of today's automobiles"
 Each driver has a safe" speed It is a balance of his personal refeXes against his cars speed It is
 speed that is right for him given his physiological and mental makeup For exceptional drivers this safe speed may be high, but for many it is certainly not than 40 45 miles an hour
 But the campaign for highway safety-whle it focuses chiefly eliminating auto deaths and maim- ngs as, patenty it ought to-has other aspects For instance, bad conduct on the highways pump up the blood pressure perhaps harden the arteries, and surely upset the digestion and with it ones peace of mind
 Here is a driver-and where is he not?-who feels that the ahead moving a little slower than his own must be passed at all costs that the light must be beaten that any other driver on the road who seems to violate the rules or infringe on his pride must be disciplined with inner angers and perhaps with downright discouresy and eursing Of course, he may accident He may leave the death and injury toll where he found it But the resultant turmoil has a price-and he will pay it. in frayed nerves. in an overworked heart.
 Yes, must not only make the highways safe for others but we also make them safe for our selves We must learn how to drive with serenity. Otherwise are not driving the car. It is driving

Business Indices
CNew York Tines)

Signs of slow sudden upturn in general busi- ness and industrial production usually come when the business community had nearly given up hope of industrial recovery Probably that is why last weeks signs of beterment in the industrial ndces made the impression which they did In the steel trade The Iron Age which for weeks had been extremely dis couraged the immediate future has far modi- fled its position that this week it describes "a grow ing feeling that business generally this summer will not be so slack expected and that foundation for fair measure of recovery in the fall is slowly being aid7
 From most producing centerS it now reports, come reports of small rush orders reflecting scanty inventories, growing dversifcaton of outlet for the mills and scattered gains in production" This diag noss is interesting in that it does not assign cause for the gradual recovery change in the general sua tion, but ascrbes the uptrn to the influence which had been predicted by many experienced observers that inventories of had fallen to small pro- portions and that with production admittedly lag ging behind the reduced consumption of the day speeding-up of orders inevitable. Steel pro- ductioh was not alone in the moderate improvement The adjusted index of electrical power output rose from 894 to sos of motor-car production from B three weeks ago to 43 last week. The showing was similar in most other lines of industry.
 It not unnatural that the stock market, where prices averaging well above the years low level Of March, should this week have risen emphatically with greatly increased volume of transactions. How much of recovery from the recent very unfavorable conditions in general trade indicated is necesSar fly a matter of conjecture. It may much or
 little. Probably it makes more impression from the fact that the Federal Reserves production index" had been lowered in practically every successive month from August 1937 to date
 On the other hand, it should not be forgotten that brief recoveries have frequently occurred in reactionary period, without reversing than tenn porarily the general trend The monthly production index, which had fallen from 121 in September 1929 to 103 in December to 107 by February 193O and from 34 to 38 between January and April 1931: but the general receding movement not positively versed until July of 1892. Still, the matter to be considered is whether despite the recent gloomy financial atmosphere underlying conditions have duplicated those of 1930. Every knows that in many important respects they certainly have not.

UPS AND DOWNS, CONGRESS

Much of the history of the 18th Congress can be written in the ups and downs of the influence of one man-Presdent Roosevelt
 When opposition forces in Congress beat the President down on major issue, the pace of his whole program slackened At other times the breaks came his way to increase his sway and in turn Con- gress became more pliable
 As Congress adjourned the presidential prestige was reasonably high but most observers put it below 1886 standards In the closing hours he won two rounds Congress gave into presidential demands for a free hand in spending the $375oOOO0o0 relief recovery money and passed the wage-hour bill which had been rejected earlier
 The Florida primary turned that tide for the President And whether that tide remains turned will be decided in the other primaries and general election The country will decide whether it wants congressman who see 100 percent eye to eye with the President or instead likes them best when they kick up their heels 25 to 50 percent of the time
 This is quickie review but there are landmarks to help plot the course more definitely.
 Fresh from his 1886 landslide, MT. Roosevelt moved in on Congress in the winter of 1887 with many demands, including one that Congress neutral ize Supreme Court opposition to his reform and re- covery plans The historic court fight occupied most of the first session Congress wonparty because the court itself neutralized of it's opposition For a time the Presidents grip became slack wet drum-head
 The administration program had included wage hour legislation crop control government reorganza tion expansion of the IVA to other watersheds, and ta= revision In that first session the President got none of it except splatter of tax loophole plugging
 The special session delivered up nothing but made progress on crop control which both the President and Congress wanted
 The past session beginning last January, saw the bloc of Republicans and Democratic independents n- creasngly solid.
 The President pressed for authority to reorganize the executive branch of the government. Like the court fight it was bitter and he lost.
 Developments abroad helped the President put across his billion dollar naval expansion bill. But in those same days the widening effect of the re- depression affected his power by hating Roosevelt prosperity"
 AS the end of the session hove in sight, yeast of another sort began fermenting. In the Florida pri- mary, Senator Pepper administration flower, was decidedly victorious over New Deal critic who had challenged his seat
 Magically the wage-hour bill revived, mod- fled to soothe southern insurgence and passed. The Presidents request for nhampered control in spend- ing the relief money granted
 The whole House and third of the Senate is up for reelection Regardless of what hand the Presi- dent may have in it certain of his nderlings are

WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1888
 Although this is read as an unim- portant day in planetary direction, caution should guide men and wo- men. There may be an inclination toward impatience and discontent. Weather conditions may affect the nerves.
 Merchants should be fairly for tunate all through the summer, in which there will be large expendi- lures for sporting goods and sports attire.
 Deception may be encouraged by the configuration and for this req son the summer girl is likely to be less angelic than she appears.
 Plotting, duplicity, intrigue and double dealing are most positively indicated as affecting information al policies. A betrayal of faith is presaged with serious results to the United States.
 Japan is subject to aspects malk-
 
 ing bitter opposition to national militaristic aims. Much suffering and sacrifice are foretold for the autumn.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of prosperity through work as well as invest ments, but there may be confusion that entails journeys.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be extremely gifted in executive ability. Subjects of this sign are good organizers and able to push through what is worthwhile.
