What Has New Deal Done?

What has the Administration
done for this country? Preelec-
ton promises have been disre-
garded, industry and capital
have been driven into retrench-
ment and hiding. We are threat
ened with bankruptcy.
The morale of the people has
been injured; hope and courage
stifled; more people than ever
are being bottle fed by the Gov
eminent, and no improvement
is in sight.
In my locality the only ones I
can find who approve Of the
present Administration are
mostly those on dole or who
hold some Government job.
Farmers are up in arms against
the domineering oppression Of
the farm bill-a law that could
drive an ordinary man crazy to
try to understand it, and so it
goes. MARYLANDER.
Clinging to Lost Youth
I'd like to unburden myself
in print-of subject that has
annoyed me whenever I had
time to consider it.
Why do married couples. or
single men, who have passed the
so mark and whose parents are
long since dead, insist upon
signing themselves Junior?
Noticed today a story in your
paper in which a middle-aged
couple are referred to as "Mr.
and Mrs. Sam Smith, jr." And
there isn't any Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam Smith, ST.
1 also know an aged gentle
man Of IS who insists on be-
ing written to as william Jones,
jr.
When I went to school a
junior became a senior when
his senior died. (Figure that
out.)
But, to get back to this moot
If annoying - subject, why do
they do it? Is it a last desperate
clinging to a youth long since
departed?
Whatever 1t is-it's silly.
Especially when you meet the
CIR" 5000, for my peace Of
mind, will the folks who are
legally "Sr." drop that coveted
CIR" and be their age?

ALL these advantages were

I for one cannot blame them for

Notwithstanding outlook. I
have heard men and women sigh
for their gone youth; for its re-
turn they would sacrifice any
thing. For me I want no part
of youth as it is today. I had a
most marvellous time in my
earliest years; all they are get
ting is a lousy deal.
This is no learned thesis on
why's and wherefores. the ma
chine age, wars and echoes Of
wars. I'm just very sorry for
today's youngsters.
But at least I can set down
few words on our world-builders
of today. If a new and better
world is built it will be built by
builders of the same breed as
those who built the old-the one
which has gone to pot. It has to
be rebuilt by learners, by savers
and conservers, by cooperatorS
and self disciplined administra-
tors-not men of whims and
tempers, of jealous n a lures,
whose entire thoughts are bound
by self.
THIS rebuilt world-so that
= youth can have it's fling
end its chance just as I had
will not be built by self-indul-
gent seekers Of reward, by envy
intoxicated zealots, by hair
Drained wasters, by violent
wealth-dividers. A better world
can be brought into being only
by process OF multiplication,
never by process of subtrac-
ton and division.
And such a world, mark you
we'll, can never be built by lead
ers who place a premium on in
efficiency and make of mere
idleness desirable ideal worthy
Of attainment. 1t would indeed
be well for those idealistS who
sit in the seats of the mighty
to realize that if all men and
women on the earth and all
men and women who have lived
On the earth since the begin
ming were like most men and
women who live upon it and
have lived upon it, then man
would still be an ignorant prop
ertyless savage in a world jun
gle.
These are signs which point
to a return to the jungle period.

LONDON, May "A new kind of target which will try the talent of even the Deadest-eyed Dicks will be used for the first time at the June meeting of the Army Rifle Association.
 The target has no bull's-eye- and it is painted in such a way that the colors tend to blend when you're looking at them from distance.
 It was designed in answer to small arms experts contentious that the conventional target offers no real training since it is so unlike any target on a modern battlefield

A Chinese soldier, apparently
