CHAPTER %

TT rs AN unusual case when a
normal, wholesome, young Ameri-
can man can grow to age almost
20 and never once have had girl
sit on his lap. Thornton Holgate
had been Gin love" several times
IN high school, but had done moth
ing about it. A few times, in school
assemblies, it had been necessary
for him to pair off with some ferni-
nine person, and very few times
sufficient pressure had been
brought to make him actually take
q girl somewhere. But mostly he
had been content to admire the op-
posite sex from afar. It had al
ways seemed presumptuous for a
person as humble as he imagined
himself to be, to force any girl to
pay attention to him.
He grew out of that inferiority
complex to a degree when he en-
tered college. The Right Girl at
that moment doubtless would have
reshaped his entire life, but she did
not come along. Before he realized
it, college studies had gripped his
enthusiasm; mathematics under
truly learned men had opened
magnificent mental vistas in which
human equations had no part.
He beheld the sudden appear
ance Of Peaches Pomeroy in her
car this Sunday afternoon, heard
her greeting and her command to
get in, then passed into a momen-
tary daze. When he reawakened,
a somewhat heavy but soft and
thoroughly delightful something
was implanted upon him. He was
learning that its name was Bar
bara, that the similar something
at his left shoulder was named
'Lisbeth. Both objects, besides be-
ing sweetly perfumed, were wig
ely and giggly and highly articu-
late. And Miss Pomeroy's sedan
was moving at something above 60.
Yes, yes, quite So" Thornton
was saying. solely because it
seemed advisable to say sOme-
thing, after the deluge Of greet
ing, introductions, small talk.
The freshman behind him, busy
with their own chatter. paid little

chirned in the girls. That's when
Thornton had collected his wits
and said Eyes, yes, quite So"
Peaches swung right through
Hermann park and headed for
Telephone road, thence on even
tually to the main pavement, which
finally heads into the great Gal
weston causeway. bridge over the
sea arm which makes Galveston
an island. Sheer fatigue eventually
caused Thornton to relax, and the
girl Barbara turned on his knees
to talk to him.

TOO MUCH WIND

With another spring
marked by more than the
usual number of cyclones and
windstorms throughout the
country, with scarcely any
section totally immune from
them, one is apt to wonder
just why these visitations
seem so numerous now than
in former years. Ask any
Old-timer for his opinion and
in almost every instance he
will blame it on the steady
slaughter of shade and forest
trees that has been under
way for the past 40 or so
years. With the forests deci-
mated, the wind gets a clean
sweep. And with a popula-
ton far more dense than it
was a quarter of a century
ago it is pretty hard for any
sort of windstorm to rage
without greater property

A WIDE DIFFERENCE

simply because he is a
stranger. That type of motor
ist has little trouble in set
ting himself right when he
breaks a rule. He can be for
given his error. But SYM
pathy soon vanishes for the
fellow who thinks that be-
cause he is a stranger" he
should be allowed freedom to
go his way with a wink and
a smile. This type of motor
ist is a disgrace to the en-
tire fraternity of American
motorists and the sooner the
communities in which he ap-
pears put him in his place,
and keep him there, the bet
ter tor all who drive autos.

INDUSTRY MOVES

Industry is moving to the
south and west at a rapid
pace, according to close OBJ
servers. Ten years ago tex
tile factories began leaving
the east for southern loca-
tions. Today the movement
is not confined to textile
mills; factories of many
kinds are now joining in the
move.
Lower wages, reduced liv-
ing costs, lighter taxation
and freedom from labor union
troubles are declared to be
back of this movement. 1t
is noticeable that in choosing
new locations the factories
are avoiding the large CEN
ters of population. Industry
decided years ago that con-
centration in and around the
big cities of many manufac-
turing concerns is detrimen-
tai to both themselves and
the country.
This decision, and the re-

Unfortunate for the better
type motorists of the country
there exists today a type of
driver who thinks he can hide
behind the idea that he is a
'' stranger" and thereby break
traffic rules and regulations
of a community and get by
with it. The average COM
munity is sympathetic with
the stranger within it's midst.
But at the same time they
have the greatest sympathy
for the gentleman driver, the
one who feels regret when he
breaks a traffic law and who
doesn't expect special privi-
leges or special consideration

suits now evident in carry
ing it out, are going to mean
much to small towns all over
America. It is bound to re-
suit eventually in a decrease
in size and Importance of the
big cities of the country and
the growth of our smaller
towns and cities as industrial
centers. The southern states,
for instance, already have
shown plenty of proof of this.
The growth of towns between
1000 and 5000 has been re-
markable through the south
in the past 10 years. Will
these towns not become the
fair-sized cities of the next
10 years? No, say the wise
ones. Industry has learned
it's lesson. 1t prefers to do
business in many small towns
rather than in one large city.
Not only is this seemingly
the wisest way for industry,
but best for the American
people.

SPRING LIGHTNING

We find in an exchange a
statement by an electrician
who has been experimenting
over a period Of years to the
effect that the chance of
being struck by lightning is
but one in a million. He says
the most dangerous point of
residence is in a house 10
Gated on top of a hill, and
that even then the chances
are that lightning will strike
there but once in a hundred
years. We don't know how
close he may be to it, but
we do know from personal
observation that the old fear

case.
Since all the preaching the
newspapers can do, and all
the conservationists resort to
do not have any effect and
the slaughter of forests goes
on just the same there ap-
pears to be no relief from the
ever-increasing to r n a does s
than to insure your property,
trust to luck and sit back and
take what comes. Since these
storms seem to have a habit
of sweeping the poorer and
less prosperous sections, how
ever, this is not a remedy
because too many cannot af-
ford insurance. For his own
protection, and the protection
of the generation that will
follow him, the man who cuts
a tree today might try the
plan of planting two in it's
place.

piece through the last year and only
few persons believed that he was
speaking his own views. Most OBJ
servers thought he was doing a
Charley Mccarthy" for those in
the New Deal who needed ventrilo-
quist and forum then and there
to get their views printed.
Mr.. Minton jumped all over the
newspapers. None of them would
print the New Deal side, he assert
ed; none would be fair. They SIM
ply are awful things, these news
papers. The report of the news
paper publishers, mentioned above,
was described by the senator as
"an exhibition of unmitigated gall"
Some newspapers were accused of
"spewing out their propaganda"
against the New Deal and he
charged that the New Deal Simply
can not get its side of the story
printed"
The senator certainly got his side
OF the case printed for the metropol-
itan. dailies reaching Washington
gave him vast space-and also they
subsequently gave him editorial at
tention. Senators on the floor lis
tened to Senator Minton, too, but
only Senator Norris of Nebraska and
Schwellenbach Of Washington took
any notice. Senator Schwellenbach
felt impelled to make a few we'll
chosen remarks about the way the
press has treated the New Dealers,
including himself.
And, I almost forgot about it! SEN
ator Minton introduced a bill that
would send an editor or reporter to
jail if they printed any information
which they knew to be incorrect.
The guilty persons could be fined
many thousands of dollars, too, un-
der the Minton bill. l guess the rea-
son almost forgot about the Minton
bill to punish editors was because
nobody took it seriously, least of all
the colleagues of Senator Minton in
the senate. 1t will 60 into a COM
mittee pigeonhole and will never be
heard of again.
Involvement of radio and it's con-
troll by the federal government in
-, >, the freedom of
Irked by speech" battle
Radio Policy calls to mind that
there has been
much complaint lately concerning
the federal communications COM
mission. That agency has supreme
authority over the radio stations of
the country. They cannot operate
without license. The law which
set up the commission gave author
ity to license stations for three
years, but as matter of practice
the commission never has issued a
license to any station for a period
longer than six months. In conse-
quence, every station owner and op-
orator has to come into the COM
mission twice a year and file an
application for renewal of its right
to operate.
The complaint is that the broad
casting industry is running on a six
months basis, uncertain at all times
about its future status. Twice a
year, therefore, any station owner
has to make guess whether his
investment is worth anything. One
OF the charges against this practice.
a charge hurled by David Sarnoff.
president of the Radio Corporation
OF America, was that the short-pe-
riod licensing practice "leaves the
door open for indirect and insidious
censorship" The charge, of course.
considers the possibilities of under.
handed activity that always are
available to an individual in public
office.

of being struck by lightning
is waning. People do not fear
it now as much as they used
to. That is shown by the
fact that fewer lightning
rods are sold now by far than
were sold 40 to so years ago.
Then it was considered a
necessity to equip every
house and barn with them.
Today we have an occasional
fire from lightning, but con-
sidering how many more
houses there are now, the
total loss is small and even
that is robbed of much of it's
sting by modern fire insur-
ance.

dom take the public into their con-
fidences on matters that seem to
them to be purely personal in ma
ture.
In the last two weeks, however,
the differences between the Presi-
dent and his advisors, on the one
hand, and the editors throughout
the country and their Washington
correspondents, on the other hand,
at last have been brought into the
open. That is, and I believe this is
a fair statement, Mr.. Roosevelt has
brought the row into the open.
The match seems to have been
touched to the dynamite by Mr.,
:. Roosevelt at a re-
Dyn0mIfe cent "off the rec
Set Off ord" session which
he held with the
members of the Managing Editors
society. The society meets annually
in Washington and always during
their stay, they are invited to a
White House meeting. In the past,
such meetings have promoted bet
ter understanding between the edi-
tors and the administration, but the
last session appears to have done
exactly the opposite.
It is not permissible to disclose
what goes on in those meetings and.
not having been present, / cannot
vouch for details of the recent meet
ing. know, however, that hereto
fore the editors came away always
feeling that benefits of the meeting
had been important. At the last
meeting, according to common un-
derstanding around Washington, the
discussion was heated. The Presi-
dents remarks to the editors must
have been vicious. In any event,
there were few of the editors came
away in a good humor. Indeed, at
a breakfast of the society the next
morning, one managing editor chal-
lenged his colleagues with the ques-
ton: "Are we mice or are we
men?"
Again asserting my inability to
vouch for all of the statements that
have deluged Washington since the
meeting, know that many of the
editors were "red headed or "hot
under the collar" or whatever your
favorite expression may be. And
well they may have been if it is
true that the President told them
they had no genuine knowledge of
public sentiment in their several
communities, nor did they have any
real influence. But the crowning
shot, according to report, was a
pointed inference that the President
better understood what the country
needed than the editors.
Immediately thereafter the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton, at its New York meeting, had
before it a report calling for the
elimination of politics and politi-
clans from control of the radio or
the press. The report cited Mr..
Roosevelt's frequent use of the air
lanes for his ''fireside chats" and it
added:
"The inescapable task Of the
American press is to guard against
any encroachment upon American
democracy by the federal govern
ment with radio as the instrument
of political power"
That incident, of course, was not
ignored in Washington. While there

Boy, Girl Friend
 Exchange 'Slaps'
 In Street Quarrel

Edmund Thayer, 20, of 59 Ludlow street, c0ntended in
 city court today that he became
 "he who slaps" only because a moment before he had been "he who gets slapped"
 It happened that 'Thayer and a girl friend were having an argument on Brown street last
 night. The girl, according to Thayer slapped him in the face. Then he said he slapped her back only to have Patrol man James Stack come around the corner at that moment.
 The policeman said he first
 only told Thayer to leave the scene but that the youth caused a disturbance and he arrested him for breach of the peace. On the way to the police box, Pa trolman Stack said, Thayer at tempted to punch him, so he lodged a resistance charge against him.
 Judge Conway, learning that Thayer had no previous record, warned him to behave in the future, and placed him on pro- bation for six months.
