Neac Use For Cotton

For several years experiments
have been under way with q
view TO finding new uses for
cotton which may absorb the
large surplus production. Some
progress in this direction has been
made, but not enough to ma
teriaIIy relieve the situation.
An interesting report in this
connection was made last week
at a meeting in New Orleans by
n. c. Williamson, president of a
large cotton cooperative asso-
citation, who called particular at
tention to the use of cotton in
the construction of roads and
houses.
He said that more than 500
miles of experimental roads.
carrying cotton fabric between the
base and the bituminous surface.
were in use, and that they were
good roads requiring q minimum
expense for maintenance. From
s 10 10 bales of cotton were used
10 the mile in their construc-
ton.
Williamson also told of the de-
velopment Of a technique for the
use of heavy cotton fabric ap-
piled to both interior and exterior
surfaces of houses. This may
lead to the futherance of low
cost housing, through pre-fabri-
cation Of such structures in a
form that permits them to be
assembled by semi-skiIled labor.
In the clothing field, he said
that new developments in fab
RIGS. finishes and coIors have en-
HANGED the appeal of cotton and
made them fashionable apparel
for men as well as for women.

4 Long Needed Rest

What business and industry
needs at the hands Of the gov
ernment is not merely breath
ing spell" but a good long rest
from paralyZinZ legislation and
bureaucratic control, in the opin-
ion Of large majority of big
and little business men alike.
So far. however, it appears
that there is little prospect of re-
lief from the heavy burden Of
taxation and excessive regulation
which have contributed largely
10 the new depression.
In no industry has the harass-
ment of government been more
disastrous than in the public
utility field. where vast sums
from the Federal treasury have
been devoted to destructive owned
facilities, This subsidized govern
ment competition has prevented
the expenditure of at least two
billion dollars for extensions and
DeLIefmenLs Dy private companies,
according to leaders of the In
dustry.
The administrations 2 over
policy has been condemned by
economists generally, and even
Mariner S. Eccles, chairman OF
the Federal Reserve System, re-
Gently asserted that all the bene-
fits which might be claimed for
the governments investment In
power could not begin to COM
pensate the public for the losses
sustained through hamstringing
the private electric industry.
Until a definite change in the
administrations attitude toward
business and industry occurs
there seems to be little hope
for any permanent improvement
IN the economic situation.

Vacation Philosophy

The philosophers say that every
one should have a vacation. The
old proverb had it that AL work
and no play makes Jack dull
boy" If you put on the same old
harness and pull along the same
old rut day after day, it is sup
posed to create sore spots that
diminish your working power
They say you can DO more work
in fifty weeks in a year than in
80.

ton. The toiling farmer and his
wife usually drill along through
the year. The crops have to be
harvested in summer and the
cows and pigs fed in winter. But

Be Kind TO Father

About Fathers Day. which
takes place again, June 10. and is
now in the promotion stage. we
feel that it should be put across
this time with bang. Since
1919, when Congressman Smell
called on the President for a PROC
lamation of a Fathers Dav. there
has been a yearly effort to arouse
interest in it; yet it remains the
least Of our sentimental occa-
sions. The White House ignored
Mr.. Smell, and the populace bv
and large has ignored Father.
AS father we don't under
stand why this should be. Faith
ers are numerous and a lowlv
class. On the whole they are
poor, but honest and mean to give
no offense. Yet somehow the
campaign to pluck the strings Of
the popular heart in their behalf
has never come off. Even the
hoodlum is nice to his mother
and while he may neglect her at
other times. he viii not fail to
upset her with a prepared tele-
gram on Mothers Day. The cynic
may scott at the annual deIuge of
sentiment which enguIfs her. but
not too audibly, for the ceremony
is more than an empty rite. it is
a recurTent miracle Of spirit.
and has even attained the dignity
Of an industry.
But Father has never made the
grade, and the most he expects
on his day is a necktie and the
bill. The smallest in the family

Some Vjce-PresideBt8

Few Americans, perhaps, would
be able to tell off-hand how many
vice-presidents of the United
States a19erward became presi-
dent, and for the benefit of any
who might be interested. we may
recall that there were nine.
They were, in order, John
Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren,,
Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson, Arthur.
Theodore Roosevelt, and Coolidge.
The first three We're elected
president after serving terms as
vice-president, while the remain
ing six became president upon
the death Of the chief executive
with whom they were elected.
John Adams served TWO terms
as vice-uresident under Presi-
dent Washington; was elected
president in 1896, but defeated
for reelection in 1900 by his
own vice-president Thomas JET
fersOn, In fact, Adams ran third
in the election of 1900, receiv-
ing IS electoral votes. while
Jefferson and Aaron Burr receiv-
ed 70 each. The election was
thus thrown into the House of
Representatives. and Jefferson
was elected, Burr becoming vice
president under the system then
in effect.
MTtin Van Buren, was vice
president during the second term
of President Andrew Jackson,
whom he succeeded to the presi-
dency in 1887. Van Buren, was
defeated for reelection in 1910;
defeated for nomination for pres
ident in 1874 and nominated but
defeated in 1848.
Tyler, Fillmore, lJohns0n and
Arthur merely served out the IN
expired terms of their predeces-
sors, although Fillmore tried for
an additional term and failed.
Theodore Roosevelt and Calvin
Coolidge were elected president
in their own right after serving
out the unexpired terms Of their
dead predecessors, Mckinley and
Harding.

SOCIAL SECURITY
AIDING 100000
Needy Aged, Blind and De-
pendent Children Re-
Ceive Assistance.

More than 1000 needy aged and
dependent children now are receiving
financial aid under the public as
sistance provisions of the Social Sc
curity Act, an increase Of nearly
100000 in the past year, Chairman
Arthur j. Altmeyer of the Social
Security Board reported today. He
added that the payments, in which the
States share part Of the expense, are
increasing
Pensions averaging $l9 monthly are
being drawn by 1851 900 aged in Al
States, two territories and the District
of Columbia, there are $4,000 blind in
40 States getting on an average of
$3.50, while $4,000 children are
being aided in 40 States. This last is
an increase Of nearly IS per cent in
year. and the payments per family
have advanced from $27 to $31.
enrolled under the old-age benefit
plan, which becomes operative January
!, 1912, while before this year is out
80 States and the District of Columbia
will administer unemployment COM
pensation laws.
Declaring the accomplishments of
1887 give assurance of greater progress
in 1888, Mr. Altmeyer concludes:
THE Social Security Act in its
present form is far from perfect or
final; it will undoubtedly be improved
and extended as we learn from expert
ence. But by 1888 there can be no
question that the American people have
set their faces in the direction they
propose to go. Nothing can stop their
advance toward social security for
themselves and for their children"
