Capital Is Keeping
Smoke Curbed By
Conduit System

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. (UP).
Miles of underground passageways
honeycomb the foundations of the
famous triangle of government
buildings in Washington.
Not a precaution against air
raids, they are, very undramatic-
ally, the conduits for a giant CEN
trail heating plant, largest in the
United States except for New
York City, according to Charles
H. Peters, Jr., assistant chief OF
the national parks service. :
First put into operation four
years ago to serve 46 buildings,
the service has been expanded
continuously and now heats about
70. The tunnels extend from the
Home Owners Loan corporation
near Union station down below
the triangle, branching out to heat
the White House and old treasury
department building, down to the
new federal reserve building OPP
posite the Lincoln memorial.
Enclosed in a handsome modern
istic building occupying an entire
city block, six $500 horsepower
boilers generate up to l,OO0,OOU
pounds Of steam heat per hour
using 100000 tons of coal year
Each furnace has 4S0 square
feet Of CRATE area and is as tall
as a five or six-story building
Manned almost entirely by cleo
tricity, the plant requires main

WHAT 1T MEANS

All the money which the federal government
can pour into state acquiescent to the political
demands of that government becomes but a. mess
of pottage offered as payment for the purchase OF
a peoples birthright The man or woman who can
not see or interpret, the prophetic writings, must
be blind, indeed.
The plain unadorned truth is that the party when
today bears the label democrat" is controlled oy
leaders who are not democrats. The administra-
ton, by its own admissions has deserted the parry
which placed it in office and lis seeking to form
new party based upon dreams of ileft-wing ao'iS-
ers who would lead this nation along the Same
paths of totalitarianism which have brought ne"
and fearful autocracy to the nations on Eprope.

SCHOOL TERMS: Weste n


Carolina public school teachers
are meeting in annual session to-
day. Just as the 18th grade idea
was getting into good swing the
South Piedmont District Class
room Teachers association met in
Charlotte last week and went on
record for nine-month terms rath-
er than a 18th grade as a feature
for advancing high school work.
If both are not possible they ask
ed for the ninth month because: .
/. This plan would help more
children, as it would reach those
who leave school before complet-
ing the course.
2. 1t would make summer vaca-
tions shorter and thus would
shorten the forgetting" period
and decrease the number of fail
ures. 49,.
3. 1t would not increase the
number of teachers.
4. 1t would tend to decrease
unemployment.
Another good reason, which
wasn't recited, would be another
month of pay for the teachers
who with salaries none too high
are thrown out of employment a
third of the year.
And thus the pros and cons are
lining up in battle array for the
Forthcoming. session of the Gen
eral Assembly with our governor
advocating the 18th grade.

TO THE HILLS! THE WOMEN ARE
COMINGp -.. ..
tBy BRUCE CATION

1t is mortally easy to take a running
jump into the wrong conclusion, when an
unexpected bit of news comes over the
horizon; and the report on women work
ers-submitted to President Roosevelt by
John D. Biggers, director of the Federal
Unemployment Census - deserves some
careful thought before any deductions are
based on it. ..-.-. ...- ..,.-.-- ... .......
Mr.. Biggers succeeded in clearing up
part of the mystery about where mems
missing jobs have gone. The women have
'em-to the extent, at least, of 2, 74O, 600
cases. .,.. u.s..
On the basis of the 1880 census and the
normal population increase it was expect
ed that by the fall of 19S7-when Mr..
Biggers' census was taken-there would
be about 11,750;000 women gainfully en-
ployed But when Mr.. Biggers made his
check-up, he found that there were &C
tually 14,496,O women holding jobs.
Somewhere along the line, then, some
thing quite unforeseen happened, result
ing in an utterly unprecedented increase
in the number of women workers. So. ,
Census Bureau experts blame it on the
depression. Ordinarily, they explain, wo-
men enter the labor market at the age of
20, or Whereabouts, and leave it few years
later-to get married, or for other reasons.
But in the last haH-dozen years they
haven't been leaving their jobs. When
male members of the family lose their jobs
or can't find work, the woman who has a
job hangs on to it.
Now from all this it would be easy to
reach the conclusion that one cause of
male unemployment today is the presence
of too many women in the labor market.
Already you can hear the first faint NUT
tering of stout-hearted males declaring
that women's place is in the home. Before
long, more and more people will tell us
that the unemployment problem won't be
solved until women give up their jobs.
Yet this would be one of those easy con-
illusions that don't stand up under am
alysis.
Suppose we did chase those extra e.
100000 women out of their jobs and re-
placed them with men; we still would
have made only small dent IN the gnem-
ployment situation. The basic problem
would remain unsolved. The nations pay;
rolls would not be higher by one dime
The total income going to the families ,o1
working folk would not be increased il
the least. . -,
We would be precisely where we were
before, except that the, identities of some
two and three-quarter millions of th'
workers would be different.
Nor would we be better off if we Wen
lot farther and replaced more and mor'
women workers with men. We would mo
have progressed one inch IN the direction
of improving the general weh-being %
people who have to work for a living.
The unemployment problem ceases t.
exist only when any industrious, capable
honest citizen who wishes a job can ge
one. Any solution" which doesn't brin,
us nearer that day is no solution at all.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1938-10-14

great leaders have been such men.
Of course it is an old story to
hear a leader proclaim that he is
a man of destiny inspired from
above. But the mischievous or
devilish conduct of a number of
leaders has indicated that their
inspiration came not from above
but from below. 49,. o..
As matters are now, one IA
natical leader in a key position
can destroy the peace and the
safety of the world. The civilized
nations should take steps to REM
edy that dangerous condition.

BEAVERS AT WORK: Joe F
By NOAH HOLLOWELL

BEAVERS AT WORK: Joe F.
Baldwin of Fletcher tells an in
teresting story of the work Of a
few beavers placed by the govern
ment in Bent creek, a stream
flowing out of the Pisgah Nation
al forest into the French Broad.
Mr.. Baldwin says the beavers
have gnawed down trees five
inches or more in diameter, plac-
ed them across the stream, piled
limbs thereon and daubed them
with mud until the dam holds wa
ter, better job, he says, than
man could have done with the
same materials.
Mr.. Baldwin says the animals
cannot be found at work and that
their dens are reached by burrow-
ing a passage from the bed of the
lake upward to dry soil, leaving
no sign of their abode, which is
reached from a passage below the
water level. !
