John Hamilton. Republican Ma,

turned from a trip through the
South, said:

Republican party is taking in the
South has been responsible in

Mr.. Roosevelt into a realization

PRESIDENT CITED

Taylor reminded that President
Roosevelt had suggested that the
refugee problem be handled within
the scope of the present immigra-
tion laws of the various countries.
The United States, seeking to deal
as literally as possible with the
problem already has added the
Austrian quota to the old German
quota for immigrants.
He suggested that steps also be
taken to provide Identification
papers to the refugees who have
been obliged to flee Germany
without passports.
He invited France to have the
permanent organization meetings
in Paris and suggested that the
work he done in cooperation with
the League of Nations refugee
committee and the Nansen office.

occupy. They have seized half the hornets
nest but do not know what to do with it, or
the other half.
Only reason they are pressing on is be-
cause the militarist japanese government
dare not come home without complete con-
quest. 1t is simply question of victory in
China or revolution at home.
At least these are the studied private
views of war experts and Far Eastern
authorities here on the eve of tomorrow's
first anniversary of the undeclared conflict,

Last Resort"
MOT Hitler or Mussolini, but
~ Chamberlain now has the
key to war prospects in Europe
and he will not use it. The
British premier is the man

But the hand is weak. There
is no concealing the fact that
the British people are hard

BIDS
GOVERNORS JOIN
PARTY ON TOUR
He ChuCkIeS Over Furor
Caused by Trip

G.N.SO In a move to avoid
any political embarraSsments on
his trip across the continent, it
was learned today that President
Roosevelt has advised the COVER
nors and Senators of all States
through which he will pass of the
itinerary of his special train.
The White House, by making
this information available. in eff
feet has advised the respective gov
ernorS and Senators that the Presi-
dent would be glad to have them
ride with him across their re-
spective States if they so desire.
Secretary Stephen T. Early said,
however, that no specific invita-
tions had been issued.
KEEPS OWN COUNSEL
Chuckling at the political furore
his impending tranScontinental
swing has created, the President
today kept his own counsel about
any plans he may have on the
road for injecting himself into
Democratic primary contests.
Consult an aStrologiSt, was his
advice to newSmen who sought
some inkling regarding his attitude
toward the candidates. Of several
Senators up for reelection-all of
whom had opposed his defeated
plan to enlarge the Supreme Court.
MAY BOOST ADAMS
And it appeared that some of
the candidates wished they could
get bit of reliable advance in
formation from an astrologist, or
anyone else.
There was extreme interest, for
example, as to what President
Roosevelt intends to do or say
when he reaches Colorado on his
way to the coast. Senator Alva
Adams, up for denomination there,
was one of the court bill oppo-
nentS.
All the Chief Executive would
say was that he had expressed no
opinion so far to anyone on
Adams candidacy, and didn't
have the faintest idea what he
would say when he stopped in the
Senator's State. Most observers
believe the President at. least will
do nothing to hurt Adams
chances, and possibly may give
him a boost despite the court plan
opposition.
SILENT ON VAN NUYS
In similar fashion, Mr.. Roose-
welt declined to say what he
thought of the about-face per-
formed by the Indiana Democratic
organization in offering Senator
Frederick Van Nuys denomination.
Up until a few days ago, Indiana
powers were saying Van Nuys
could not have it because he de
serted the President on the court
issue.
The President was also vague
about whether he would stop in
South Carolina next month on his
way back home from the long trip
that begins tomorrow. Those close
to the White House have init
mated Mr.. Roosevelt intended to
make a speech in the home State
of Senator E. D. Cotton Ed''
Smith-still another opponent OF
the court bill.
With his sense of dramatics and
timing, it appeared that the
President intended to let specula-
tion work each local situation up
to a fever heat and then step onto
the stage without any advance
notice of the part he intends to
play.

Discussion of the operations of

Roosevelt submitted to the council
for study.
The Chief Executive said the
following Southern problems must
be studied to get "a clear perspec-

neglected resources of land and
water, abuses of the soil, need for
cheap fertilizer and cheap power,
population problems, women and
child labor, absentee ownership of

Volumes of data and statistics
covering all these subjects were

silent to Fellowes, and conceal
from him what is going on, lest he
attack the butler, and all is ex-
posed, all is ended. You see what
secrets were here?
1.-TWO people besides the sly
Stall are suspicious of Madame
and her chauffeur-thec cook and
the vicar. But the cook is quite
satisfied with her situation, and
very sensibly decides that it is no
business of hers, though, as she
told us, there were things of which
she did not approve. And the
vicar, he is not sure. He is fond
of espionage, the good vicar, and
presently he will know more.
Meanwhile, like many house
holds, this household goes on.
Underneath the routine, Madame
Thurston conceals her love, and
the torture of being blackmailed.
Enid conceals the furious fire of
her jealousy, which persists in
spite Of all her lover says. The
chauffeur conceals from the mid
dle-aged lady who loves him his
real love for the girl. The black
mailer conceals his activities from
all, save from Madame Thurston.
And everyone conceals everything
from DR.. Thurston. Voila-an
atmosphere! All have secrets.
But the household goes on like
any other.
"And why does it so? Because,
my friends, there is money. For
the servants there are good wages

there is the will which shall make

Rotarians Hear Talk
on Marihuana menace

At the Rotary dinner last week
the Rev. S. b. Hannah of Florence
was guest speaker, and chose as
his subject the evils of the vari-
GUS narcotic habits in the United
States, and his talk was followed
with close interest by the memb-
ers and guests present. Due to Mr..
Hannah's long years of experience
as chaplain at the Arizona State
prison, he has made a special study
of the dope traffic, as carried on
by the underworld, and he stated
that the narcotic business in the
U. S. amounts to IL millions of
dollars annually, and is mostly
carried on by Reproduction liquor
gangs. After reading a treatise on
the opium habit, written by con-
vict medical doctor,-a dope addict
named Geo. B. Mcclellan, who
had served two terms in Federal
prisons before entering the Arizona
State prison, Mr.. Hannah proceed
ed to tell of the evils of the fast
growing habit of the use of Mari
huana and said that more dope is
being used in our country than in
any country in the world. The sad
part of it all is its fast spread
among the youth of our country.
Mr.. Hannah stated that marihua-
ma is more dangerous than heroine
or cOcains, and that the Federal
government has found it necessary
to pass drastic laws against its
use One of it's most dangerous ef-
feet is an emotional disturbance
during which the user is power
less to direct his thoughts, loses
the power to resist emotions and
may commit violence which knows
no bounds, even suicide.
In the absence of President Ur-
ton, vice president Charles Cohen
presided over the meeting. Dan
Sullivan was a Rotarian visitor
from Casa Grande. other guests
were Charles E. Brown of Coolidge
and Rev. S. B. Hannah of Florence.

New Venetian Blind
On Display Here

For over $50 years the world has
been controlling it's light, air and
privacy by means of shade cloth In
windows. During that time, in Am
erica, there were several periods
of years in which Venetian blinds
were the vogue. Folks who could
afford it, bought Venetian blinds
because the Stats could be turned
at any angle, thus permitting at
least a partial control of those
important factors-light, privacy,
and ventilation.
But the Venetian blind of Grand
pas day failed to make good. 1t was
too heavy! 1t was too noisy 1t was
too bulky. The Stats warped and
twisted and splintered, and the
paint flaked off-and besides all
that, the blinds were too expensive.

in blinds, has changed all that,
and today the new Venetian Blind
