ARNIISTICE DAY

Today, Friday, November IL, the
people of the world will observe the
twentieth anniversary of the end OF
the greatest catastrophe of the
world.
When order to "oease firing" was
given at 1900 o'clock in the morn
ing on the eleventh day of Novem-
Der, 1918, there was hardly human
being on the face of the earth who
did not join in the universal re-
joicing. For there was no single hu-
man being in the world at that time
whose life and future was not affect
ed by the war.
There is no possible question that
the worldwide economic depression,
the internal and international NAL
adjustments and financial difficult
ties from which every nation in the
world has suffered since, are all di-
rectly traceable to the Great War.
More than 65,O00,0O0 young men,
the best of their respective nations,
we're taken from their homes and
anu 0Cht ihSO ehAC DNNS'NS
fields to kill each other. More than
eight and one-half million were
wounded or incapacitated. At the
end of the war the survivors return
ed, most of them, to almost hope
lessly impoverished homelands, bur-
dened with impossible debts and
crushed by unbearable taxes.
We cannot destroy millions OF
lives of accumulated wealth, with
out paying for it. That we have
made so much progress toward eco
nomic recovery is little less than
miraculous, but it will take other
generations still to pay for that war.
Those are things to remember on
this Armistice Day. The eleventh OF
November should be the occasion for
a solemn resolve on the part of every
American that we use our influence
in the world to help other people
and governments to find means OF
promoting peace and security.

NATIONAL PARCEL POST MONTH

The Postmaster General has de-
signated November IS NATIONAL
PARCEL POST MONTH, to COM
memorate the Silver Jubilee of the
establishment of Parcel Post, Insur-
ed and G. o. d. Mails.
1t has been but brief span since
the first parcel was mailed in 1913,
yet, in that period, Parcel Post by
virtue of it's dependability, security,
convenience and low cost, has not
only interviewer its fibres into the
basic fabric of the postal system and
developed into q vital artery in the
field of merchandise transportation,
but also has established itself as an
indispensable attribute to the mod
ern commercial, industrial and do
nestle life of the nation.
The importance of the service in
the postal scheme is attested by the
fact that as a source of revenue, par
eel post, with it's collateral services,
Insured and c. o. d. mails, is Sec
ond only to first class mail. The re-
ceipts last year were approximately
S144, 100000, twenty per cent of
the gross postal revenues. This rep
resented postage and fees on ap-
proximately 70O,O00,000 parcels, an
average of more than two-and-a-
quarter million each working day.
Persistent demands for more and
better service have resulted in rails
ing the limits of weight and bulk;
modification of rates; general expan-
sion of facilities; new buildings.
more trucks. The Post Office Deralt-
ment has ever kept abreast of needs
of the time and today is equipped to
handle twice the volume now mailed
While the mails are 80 per cent.
greater than even five years ago.
still it is incumbent to continually
promote the service so that the gi-
gantic machine may be used TO full
capacity.
While Jubilee Celebration would
be barren without concentrating
the history, magnitude and progress
of Postal, no more fitting observance
than by carrying the story of its use
fulness to all the people, to the end
that Parcel Post may be patronized
more extensively, thus ultimately
realizing to the full measure the
detectives for which it was establish
ed.

Carrying the fight onto farms and
into homes, campaign to eliminate
accidents caused by careless habits and
faulty equipment last year resulted in
self-checks being made in 100000
American homes through cooperation
of children in school. women's clubs,
farm organizations, and other groups.
The 300 Red Cross chapters and their
branches in every county are cooperat-
ing in this national effort to end need.
less pain and suffering resulting from
such accidents.
These efforts to lessen such appall-
ing tolls of human lives and usefulness
are made possible through member
ships In the Red Cross. The annual Roll
Call will be held between November
II and Thanksgiving Day. when all
Americans are asked to join or renew
their affiliation to ensure continuation
of accident prevention measures.

ALONG THE MILKY WAY

Milk is our most widely used food.
It is likewise conceded to be the
most nearly perfect food. Milk is
the largest single source of cash
farm income. Successful dairy farm
ers love their cows, and keep them
clean, healthy and comfortable in
stables that are as spic and span as
a new trailer. Millions of our city
population never have seen cow,
but nevertheless they are on the
main lines of daily deliveries where
the milk bottles replaced pals for
delivery during the late nineties.
There is a newspaper man in
Washington who accounts for the
brilliance of mind and body, ascrib-
ed to him by his fellows, as coming
from 2 quarts of milk a day. He
helps to maintain the national aver
age of 1853 quarts annual per capita
consumption. The Milk Industry
Foundation in it's new and very in
teresting milk Facts" booklet gives
figures that show the average milk
consumption in the Netherlands is
100 quarts, annually; New Zealand,
112; Great Britain, France and Ger
many, 92 In the land of Italia n
grapes it drops to % quarts.
The United States is the greatest
dairy nation. Milk, Cheese, butter,
ice cream and other dairy products
create an estimated annual output
of ~ billion dollars.
'Around 25 million cows are
MIXED daily" says the booklet,
'and more than As million quarts of
milk delivered to homes and stores. -
In the distribution of the milk dol
Lar, as shown before the New York
Legislature, 44.3 per cent goes to
dairy farmers for milk; 26.1 per
cent for labor; SIS per cent for sup
plies, and 1852 per cent covers taxes
depreciation, salaries and profits.
That's the dollar that is distribut-
ed along the milky way and gets
around SO that eventually as many
people get slice as the number
who get their part of nourishment
and refreshment out of the daily
milk bottle-and mentioning bottles
there are 350,0OO,0OO new milk bot
ties purchased annually, that being
the answer to the question what
do you suppose becomes of all the
milk bottles?

STATE LINES CRUMBLE
]. E. Jones

Washington, d. c., November =
A living wage, and higher wages are
the underlying principles of the pay
hour law The provisions of the act
are puzzling, Iobscure-and thous-
ands of questions about them are
still waiting answers from the office
of the Administrator in Washington.
The Wage-Hour law is assailed on
entirely different grounds, as an en-
croachment of State rights. 1t reach
es out and asserts the authority of
interstate commerce over all class
es of business, thus denying the All
thority and rights of the Stare To
supervise it's domestic affairs and
industries as those states have done
in the past century and half.
No wonder Mayor LaGuard;a OF
New York City, with many years
experience as a Member of Congress,
recently expressed the opinion that
mo State in the Union can stand
alone" without the help of the Fed
eral Government This seems to be
true.
1t is because the states have al
lowed their lines TO crumble.

Artful Dodgers

The department of State has con-
demned in it's notes and converse
tions with Mexico the ''expropria-
ton policy of that Government. In
diplomatic terms, Washington has
called it "confscation" and "unlaw-
full seizure, and insisted that the
Mexican government should be as
honest as individuals the i'm
plication that it is far from it.
The latest turn of events indicates
that there has been something re-
sembling a backdown with regard to
the seizures of millions of dollars
worth of American-owned farm
lands, but it may turn out to be
an evasive attempt to- mislead the
''poor Mexico, and obscure the i'm
portance of the seizure of British
and American oil properties.
President Cardenas admits that
his Government has taken over these
great privately +owned interests. He
suggests that if their owners and di-
rectors will come here to my desk
and put their cards on the table, l
will negotiate with them direct. l
will settle the question in justice
and equity" The artful dodger al
tempts to supply the 'cold deck, in
order to sidestep the clear inter-
pretations of international laws, and
official honesty, which the U. S. Sec
rotary of State insists must be rec
ognized and respected.

National Trends

Undoubtedly great changes for So
called trends" are occurring for
many states, including New York,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, California
and elsewhere. 1t has always been
that way in public affairs, and in
political conditions-and that is one
of the detours along the road OF
American progress. The elections
alone show the real sentiments and
desires of the people-and they own
the country, and have the right to
say how it shall be ruled.

Chain Store Fight

The Patman bill is designed to
squeeze out nationwide chain stores.
Higher taxation would drive them
out of business-presuma to re-
store the Independent merchants.
Great political factors are lining up
ON both sides of the question.
Congressman Patman is said to-
have the support of 100 to 200
Members of the House, which shows
that his bill has an excellent chance.
That's why the master chains have
accepted the gauge of battle.

New Cars Are Out

The new automobile models are
creating enthusiasm. AS automobile
owners and drivers comprise the
majority of the population that's a
lot of enthusiasm, and a lot OF
people. Some wise citizen observed
that what the country needs most
right now is more enthusiasm and
optimism. Outstanding among the
features of the new cars are many
new safety devices. There is power
to spare in middle-priced cars. Care
full drivers have nothing to fear so
far as the mechanics of the new cars
are concerned as they are the safest
ever built.
American management, planners,
engineers, workmen. and the local
dealers standing back of the 1889
cars are, as Shakespeare would say,
"prouder than rustling silk" over
the progress shown in the sutomo-
bile industry, with better cars at
cheaper prices than last year.
