A Dictator Exposes
His Hand

One of the most notorious buffers
on the American continent is Pres
ident Busch Of Bolivia. whose an
tics have both iStereTs>H and con-
cerned the big brother U. S. A. ever
since Bonvia lost it. democracy and
yielded to the rule of a Dictator.
Recent news dispatches have re-
ported Buschs formulas to bring
modern culture to the Indians
which carries us back to the night
that we saw the great actress. Maude
Adams. step to the front of the stage
and ask her audience: DO you be-
lieve in fsiriei." and everyone of us
answered in the Affirmative
Dictator Colonel Busch is taking

Cially declared a monopoly as sole
foreign brokerage agent of tin ex-
ports Bolivia is a very important
producer of tin. This resource has
heen supplemented by confiscated
American oil properties which fur

getting all the money COr morel than
any small country could ever dream
of. Heretofore. he has had difficulty

his light fingered grasp. But diff
culties are supposed to create only a
temporary pause IN Bolivia.
The sequel is found in the Bolivia
Government announcement early I
this month Of a new trade agreement (
with Germany. Under this bargain /
with the Nszis the Bolivia Bank will ,
receive ASH marks. which is the (
new wildcat trade currency of the
Hitler government Bolivia will in

LEADERSHIP
WHAT 1T TAKES

Are you a thinker-upper, a getter-
downer or a doer?
These are the three classifications
into which all persons naturally fall.
according to. one analyst But he
goes on to admit that some individ-
uals combine qualities from two or
even three groups. Then, too" he
says. 1T is possible for the. natural
born thinker-upper to bend and warp
himself into getter-downer, or the
natural doer into a thinker-upper.
However, the effort required is fire.
quentiy clear out Of proportion TO the
results obtaine dand almost invar-
iably these results are way below
those that could have been obtained
had the efforts been spent In the di-
rection of natural inclination"
Ralph l.. Lee, among whose duties
with General Motors II is TO address
supervisory and other groups both
within and without the Corporation,
also has expressed the conviction
that many persons spend a life of
bitter disappointment as a result of
or. having done so, aspire to position
OF accompaniment iOT WHICH lHey
are not naturally fitted.
Without belitting the value of
training for leadership, Mr.. Lee be-
1ieVes that the something which diff
ferentiates potential leaders from po-
tential followers is an attitude to-
ward other people" In this connec-
ton he suggests few excellent quail
ifications as being essential to ef-
fective leadership:
A respect for the limitations of
people.
A respect for the hidden or poten-
tial abilities of other people.
A respect for the pride OF others
Freedom from self-consciousness
Sincerity.
An effective leader must be wrong
sometimes and admit IT,
Mr. Lees conclusion-"A leader
must be a servant of his followers
gives it to YOU in a nutshell.

A Foggy Political
Season
]. b. ZONES


Long lists of legislation that was
proposed to the Congress at its re-
cent session are listed by the news
irapers and correspondents. The lists
show some substantial victories for
the President. including the appro-
priafions he asked for his defense
program. the reorganization OF Gov
erument and continuance OF his
monetary authority and the billion
dollar .Stabilization fund.
| II was the greatest spending Con-
gross on record. The President is
recognized as the greatest spender
| on record. He was denied a good
many spending privileges. He failed
to get legislation for a billion dol
lar lending program and an addition
al SEQ million of funds for the United
States Housing Administration.
These matters do not prove that
the recent Congress was either eff
cient or thrifty
The fact is Congress. also grabbed
of a lot of the money that in former
times would have been given to the
President, and they blew it in their
own way. They gained victories for
Themselves. but they didn't do the tax
payers any good.
So. there isn't very much for any
body to crow about. eve nthough Con-
gress decided TO keep US out of war"
by defeating the neutrality bill that
the President said was so essential
If We were TO remain out of the forth
coming fight.
After the political fogs in Wash
ingt0n. what's next?
\ national discussion of the issues
that were so bitterly fought in the |
battles between the President and |
Congress- is needed. Both sides claim |
that they were, and are. right. where |
as as a matter of fact a resume of |
the past seven months in Congress !
doesn't indicate that any of them
deserve any orchids !;

L In honor Of friend who is PLAN
ming to visit me shortly. Just how
do invite the guests and what kind
of refreshments should serve?

Answer-An "at home" may take
the form of a cocktail party or a
tea and is a grand way to have
your friends and neighbors meet
your out-of-town friend. This kind
Of a party is usually very informal
and the invitations may be given by
telephone, or they may be written
on your personal cards and read like
this: "To meet Miss Edith ELS
worth-Saturday, May 20, a to o
o'clock" If you are serving cock
tails, don't forget the cocktail nap.
kins and pass various shapes and
styles of hors d'oeuvres and tiny
sandwiches on a tray. If coffee and
tea are served, see that your dining
room table looks its loveliest with
flowers and your incest cloth, and
invite several Of your friends to as
sist in pouring. Place sandwiches
and small cakes on the table so the
guests may help themselves.

than Hale who, in the hour OF his
death, declared: ~ only regret that
I have but one life to lose for my
country" We honor Edith Cavell
standing calmly and unafraid before
the firing squad.
But have we ever thought that the
worlds greatest hero is Jesus Christ !?
In facing unflinchingly the cruel
cross of Calvary, has He not excelled
all others in courage? Young, talent
ed and with the greatest of capabili-
ties. He could easily have outranked
Isaiah as a prophet, or Solomon in
wisdom or even Moses as lawgiver.
Yet at the age of manhood's full
strength, He courageously chose the
agony Of the horrible cross rather
than to compromise with evil by de-
WAITING so much as hairs breadth
from His conviction Of truth.
In the excitement Of the moment
it is not quite so hard to face an un-
certain death in battle, but with the
foreInowledge that all will seemingly
be lost, to stand single handed and
alone, in loyalty to spiritual truth,
against world of ignorance and hate,
requires the courage of a thousand
men.
The Church Fathers could not have
selected anything more appropriate
to symbolic the heroic spirit Of Jesus
Christ, and the heroic spirit Of vital
Christianity, than the cross upon
which Jesus stretched forth His hands
as a sacrifice for the sins Of man.
Do we not do well to put a cross
on the steeple of our Churches?
Would we not do well to have that
sacred emblem in our homes? Is it

Now days when servants are scarce
and dining rooms are small, the pro-
blem of entertaining large group OF
friends is settled in the buffet style.
Here we give merit to another great
inventor who ever he or she may be,
for it is truly delightful way of en-
pertaining as well as a great problem
saver.
The menu for buffet supper need
not be elaborate and can consist Of
something so simple as a salad and
assorted sandwiches, plus a dessert.
A salad such as this:
DREAM SALAD
1 package lime favored gelatin
1 cup warm water
1 cup grated cucumber
1 tablespoon vinegar
teaspoon scraped onion
dash Of cayenne d
"a teaspoon salt
Dissolve gelatin in warm water.
Add remaining ingredients. Force
through sieve. Turn into ring mold.
Chill until firm and fill center of ring

Venerable Parrot Dead,
Staunch Cleveland Bird

LEWES, DEL.-Birdy, a Demo-
cratic parrot who has rooted for
President Grover Cleveland for the
past SIS years, is dead.
Birdy was born about the time Of
Cleveland's first term of office in
1884 and acquired an extensive vo-
cabulary from the political jargon
of the times. Although he was q
Democrat, the bird was a one-man
parrot, for he praised only Presi-
dent Cleveland.
'sHurrah for C1eve1andl" he would
shout on the slightest provocation.
A few years ago Birdy lost his
eyesight, and this somewhat damp
ened his political ardor. But when
ever he became ruff1ed he would
always give a rousing "Hurrah for
Clevelandl"

But, however prominently it may be

BIG RACE AT
INDIANAPOLIS
IS BEING RUN
Thirfy-fhree Low slung
Cars Start Off for $780,
900 in Track Prizes

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 30

assembled on the indianapolis
Speedway, roared away under a
sunny sky at O'Clock this morn

Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, Presi-
dent of the Speedway Corporation,
