Shooting Stars.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.
Hopeful.

Better times will soon be here,
Autumn leaves now turn to gold,
And the brecing atmosphere
Makes each footstep stout and bold;
Fruits have ripened on the tree,
And the crisper winds that play
Seem to whisper in their glee:
Better times are on the way!"
Don't know much bout national banks
Utilities, they stumps me too.
But I'm fixing up my thanks
Cause know that they'll be due.
Let them argue and explain,
Down our way we're all agreed
That with gathering of the grain
Better times are guaranteed!

her husband for divorce and has
named whole Hedjaz harem as CO.
respondent. Possibly the misguided
fellow was only following Mussolini
in his policy of empire expansion. If
she obtains decree and he has to

The trouble with any petition to
the Federal Communications Com
mission to penalize radio stations
that syncopate the classics" is just
this: What is classic and who can
draw the line? Some claim that
Gerschwin's compositions already
have that status. The definition is
about as vague as that of work
of art"

Hull's Diplomatic Victory

Secretary of State Cordell Hull
added another victory to his already
richly decorated diplomatic record
by securing an agreement with Mex
leo for progressive payment of the
S10,000,000 American agrarian land
claims.
1t was the triumph Of patience,
moderation and devotion to the prin-
ciple, incorporated in his credo Of
American foreign policy enunciated
July l6, 1887, that all disputes be-
tween nations can be settled by
peaceful negotiation and without
recourse to force or threats of force.
Many times in the past five
months, during which notes have
been exchanged between the Ameri-
can and Mexican governments, a
man of less forbearance might have
yielded to evaporation and acted
with directness and severity which
would have shattered hope of pre-
serving good relations between the
two republics and destroyed the
basis on which the good neighbor"
policy is built.
But against such temptation, Mr..
Hull has stood resolute in his faith
that sincere arguments, based on
logic, and clearly and forcefully pre-
sented, are more effective than
threats and bluster. characteristic
tactics of certain other contempor-
ary governments.
Mr.. Hulls notes to the Mexican
government were tempered by SYM
pathy for the social purposes of Mex
ico's President, Lazardo Cardenas,
recognition of his sincerity, and COM
plete desire to arrive at the an1icable
settlement which now stands as a
model for all nations. Therein lay
their strength.
Recognition of this achievement
would be incomplete without men,
ton of the contributions made by
President Cardenas and his envoy
in Washington, DR.. Francisco Cas-
tillo Najera, whose tireless efforts
contributed materially to the sue
cess of the negotiations. Cardenas
has assumed a new charge against
his already over-burdened budget in
the interest Of harmony and Coop
Grafton with the United States. A
million dollars year is not great
deal for a country the size Of the
United States, accustomed to think
ing in astronomical financial terms,
but it is substantial sum for a ma
ton whose budget runs somewhat
short of s1o0,ooo,0O0 annually.
In spite of the stipulation by the
Mexican government that the agrar-
ian land settlement in no way is to
be deemed a precedent for the de-
cision, left for the future, on the oil
appropriations, there is precedent in
the fact that one of the knottiest
problems plaguing the two govern
ments for the past ten years has
been amicably resolved. The ap-
proach and the method by which
this was done are themselves ines
capable precedents for the negotia-
tions which will be undertaken in
coming months with regard to COM
pensation for the dispossessed Amer
ican oil companies.
1t is, of course, needless to say that
one threat to harmonious conduct Of
the approaching Pan-American con-
ference at Lima, Peru, has been re-
moved. In the atmosphere of cor
diality which results from the land
agreement the two republics can
send their representatives to Lima
in a cooperative spirit. to work
there without restraint for the at
tainment Of the goal set for the
meeting-strengthening Of the peace
machinery and mutual defense Of

Crime Drama on Radio
Believed Evil Influence.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Apropos the prevalence of crime in
America. there seems to be but one con-
clusion, and that is the real representa-
tive Americans, having given up all hope
OF Americanizing others. are letting the
Nation change its nature, character and
mission in the world. There are some
who say that We must teach or inculcate
character into our school children, but
these people ignore the fact that crime
stories given out in books and magazines,
illustrated in the movies and re-enacted
on the radio have already circumvented
any possible efforts on the part of edu-
cational institutions. I had turned on
the radio few minutes ago and 1 was
amazed to note that three local stations
had crime stories on.
Has not the time arrived when the
Government, anticipating the increase
Of cunning in the methods of evil,
should take steps to preserve character
in children by eliminating crime stories
from their mental gaze? c. PHILIPS.

Thinks Embargo Playing
Into Hands of DictatQrs.
To the Editor of The Star:
Will you give space to the suggestion
that the Spanish embargo is playing
into the hands of the dictators who have
so long opposed any kind of economic
and industrial as well as political de-
mocracy?
spent several weeks in Europe this
summer checking up on conditions,
which justifies my statement above,
though recognize that both Hitler and
Mussolini have controlled industry and
banking, but are subsidizing land own
strong military organization.
Inere is justice IN their efforts to Or
ganize Central Europe but not to upset
the Loyalist government in Spain. There
can be no settlement" of the Spanish
situation until outsiders leave the ma
ton alone, and they cannot be ousted
while we have Spanish embargo.

Election Results Arouse
Hope for Future.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Apropos the election results, we who
love our country and the American way
can thank God and take courage, and can
find the answer to the significance of the
election returns In that grand old hymn:
'Watchman, tell us Of the night,
What its signs Of promise are,
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveller, darkness takes its flight;
Doubt and terror are withdrawn"
Now watch the Nation grid her loins,
and 60 forward to recovery and prosperity
in restored confidence and In faith Of
the future. A. S. L.

Says Republicans Should
Defend Liberties.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There Is an old saying-"You can't
keep a good man down"-that must
apply to Mr. G. o. P. Elephant, as shown
by last Tuesdays election. For the past
six years Mr.. Elephant has been a
vera sick mon" but Tuesday he came
out, hale, hearty and full of his old
time win and wigor" that warns the
old-time Democrat to beware.
To be sure. he did not capture the
entire slate, but did capture enough to
cause alarm and dismay among the New
Dealers, known as Democrats, who call
themselves Democrats, seeking thusly
for respectability.
So now the old-time rivalry between
Democrats and Republicans is revived
and restored. But there has never been
much difference between those two good
old parties, as proved by the wonderful
success of this country In its accumula-
ton of wealth. All this has been ac-
complished under strict observance of
our Constitution that is of ample di-
mension, in all directions, for any and
all free and enlightened people govern
ing themselves, as we are supposed to do.
But let not the Republicans gloat over
their victory of last Tuesday. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty which
will be safeguarded with Republicans
and Democrats loyal to our Constitu-
ton, fighting shoulder to shoulder
against common foe, fighting for free
and untrammeled business and industry,
fighting for State rights, fighting against
the belittling and ignoring of our
courts, fighting against Capitalization Of
our Government In Washington, and
above all fighting the Communist, the
Socialist, the Fascist and the dictator at
mosphere that Is slowly and slyly pene-
trating and impregnating the minds and
thoughts Of many Of our people against
the purity Of the tenets Of our Consti-
tuition. DEMOCRAT.

Roosevelt the Issue In
The Election.

To. the Editor Of The Star:
There is no doubt that Roosevelt was
the issue In the recent election and that
he found his match In ex-President
Hoover. In his Saturday night broadcast
Mr.. Hoover made the President look like
q 10-cent piece. "Vote the Republican
ticket and put men back to work." Is his
slogan. Now watch business splurge.

antee Of an ever-normal supply OF food.

CHAPTER XIII

''Now will sing to my we'll beloved
song Of my beloved touching his
vineyard.
My well beloved hath a vineyard in
a very fruitful hill
Fray Fermin Lasuen, sitting be-
side the Governor on the hot earth
beneath great oak on top Of a
hill, repeated the words of Isaiah as
they watched the Indians picking the
ripe grapes that burdened the
gnarled and twisted vines.
1t was the last day of the ven
dimia. The fruit had been allowed
to hang beneath the burning sun I'M
til the last possible minute when
rich juices would strain the purple
skins to the utmost, without begin
ming to dry. Only a few stragglers
remained in the vineyard. The f.
esta de la vendimia was already
starting as a hustle and stir in the
direction of the barbecue pits,
shouts and songs from the workers
attested.
Fray Fermin, who had come over
from Carmelo to bless the vintage,
watched the Indian girl, Indizuela,
as she passed them, great basket
of grapes on her head.
II want to speak to you of that
little one," he said. "She is no long
er savage child, but well-trained
little Christian woman, fit to be a
