Del. DimOnd Seeks Extension Of
 Air Mail

WASHINGTON, Jan. l5 LAoJ - Delegate Dimond outlined his progra m as follows: T am work ing to secure appropriations for roads, air fields, and navigation facilities in Alaska; for the ex- tension of air mail within the territory. Air mail between Seattle and Juneau was au- thorized last session, the ap- propriation made to put it into operation, but the service did not start due to lack of air naviga- ton facilities. Those are now be- ing installed. I seek extension of air mail from Juneau along the coast to Cordova, Valdez, Seward and Anchorage, thence to the in- terior to Fairbanks, Nome, and Bethel. l am advised that the Civil Aeronautic Authority is in sympathy with air transportation development in Alaska at last. Three millions are needed im- mediately for air fields, and air navigation facilities and aid from army air bases and the proposed navy bases or stations. The road system and extension needs at least two millions and it should be appropriated for that purpose.

TYDING's HAT IN THE RING

Willard E. Tydings, Maryland's
senior Senator, on Friday became a
candidate for the Democratic Pres
idential nomination next year.
He entered the lists .coincident
with the Endorsement of his can
didacy by the Calvert Club, an or
ganization which had helped him to
his victory over Congressman David
]. Lewis in the Senatorial primary
last year.
Announcement of the indorse-
ment had the Senator's full approx
al, according to club members.
Col. Alvin X. Baskette, retired
Army officer and club president,
said the Senator had authorized
issuance of the first 10000" Tyd-
ngs-for-President stickers, which
made their debut in Baltimore
Saturday.

FARM ACCIDENT DEATH TOLL
HIGH

More people are killed in the
course of farm work than In any
other one industry, according to the
1889 edition of Accident Facts, the
National Safety Councils statistical
yearbook.
The agricultural accident death
total in 1888 was 1900, or 20 per
cent of the all-industries total of
1880.
There were 1000 accident fatali-
ties in trade and service industries,
1000 in manufacturing and 1900 in
transportation and public utilities,
1000 in manufacturing and 1900 in
mining, quarrying, oil and gas we'll
operations.
In addition to the deaths there
were 1,S5O,OOO work accident in
juries. The total of deaths and in
juries represented an economic
loss of about $3.50, 100000, the
Council estimates.
However, 1888 deaths were 10
per cent fewer than in 1887, a saw
ing of $500 lives.
Farm machinery and handling
of animals are two of the largest
contributing factors in our farm ac-
cident problem A yard cluttered
with tools and trash is good place
to get crippled or killed. The right
place for tools when not in use is
in a tool house. If there is no tool
house, the farm implements and
tools should be fenced off so that
people and animals won't run into
them.
1t doesn't take heavy weight
to break skull when the weight
drops few feet. Many chimneys
on farm houses are loose with
bricks lying in such position that
a small wind or the swaying of a
branch could easily dislodge them
and kill any person who may be
underneath.
Doctors bills and funerals run
into money faster than lumber and
nails do. Yet, an inspection of many
hay mows would reveal the fact
that only about one-half of the
necessary lumber has been used to
cover the NOW floor, and as the
farmer nears the end of his hay,
he is quite apt to. fall through the
| floor with serious consequences.
Old, weak, sway-backed buildings
add to the graveyard population.
Such buildings are apt to collapse
when the children are climbing
around, or any other time.

FROM WASTE TO HASTE
J. E. Jones

Washington, ID. c., Aug. Look
ing back upon the past seven months
that Congress was engaged in doing
its daily dozens there is very
little in the way of satisfactory
record of current history.
The great majorities of our citi-
zens cling to the old-fashioned be-
lief that the country's interests
should be put ahead of party poll
tics. That's the hitch!
During the first six months of
the session the principal interest of
members seemed to center in get
ting across appropriation bills, and
the selfish desire to get 1.-The share"
that belonged CD to their State or
district reflected very little to the
credit of the legislative groups.
The wastes are larger than in
previous years. The New Deal can
not be accused of being wholly to
blame, because the political spoils
have been divided.
Our statesmen have been grab
DlHS the taxpayers money ana spend
ing it for "cats and dogs" and other
fruitless purchases.
The waste this year has been so
great that, as July passed, there
was impatient haste to adjourn, in
order to evade the responsibility of
acting on several very important
measures, including labor laws,
housing and other 'pets" of the Ad-
ministration, or ''pets" of the OPP
position.
A good deal is said, and publish
ed, about financial assistance to
'self-liquidatng" projects. This is
new substitute scheme to lend
Government money in way that
wouldn't show up in the budgets
It's flimsy alibi to cover up
wastes.
So far as the row between Con-
gress and the President is concern
ed the latter got the worst of it in
most instances. But that's another
story.

Forerunner of Ice Cream
Traced to China of 1875

The early history of ice cream is
fragmentary and the name of the
actual originator is not known. It
is recorded that Alexander the
Great, the Ptolmeys and Julius Cae-
sar preferredN "iced drinks" made
with wine and snow, resembling our
water ices, writes a correspondent
to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The writings of Marco Polo men,
ton certain frozen sweets he en-
joyed in China in 1875. italian rec
ords indicate thriving ice cream
trade there in the Fifteenth century
and Catherine de Medici, when she
moved from Florence to France,
took her own geletaria or freezing
plant with her. The first printed
record of it in England appeared
in 1863.
Legends differ on its introduction
into America, but credit most gen.
orally is given to the Virginia Cava-
liers. In 1777 what is probably the
first advertisement for ice cream APP
peared in a New York paper.
During the administration Of
James Madison, his wife, Dolly,
served it frequently at her levees.
In 1882 a Negro confectioner of Phil
adelphia, Augustus jackson, offered
ice cream for sale at a dollar a
quart. Several accounts claim that
this man and the chef at the White
House during the Madison admins
tration are the same.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-08-11

Mr.. McNutt, who suggested the
denunciation of the Japanese treaty,
is reputed to have based this policy
on the theory that Japan in its
present militaristic set7up would re.
spect this brandishing of the big
stick. Messages from Tokyo do not
bear out the theory. No words could
have been softer than Secretary
Hull's, but it has dawned upon the
Japanese that the American condi-
ton precedent to a new CONNER
ial treaty is mending of the Jap
anese Army's ways in China, and
Japanese spokesman are talking
about reprisals instead of a change
of conduct. The japanese Army, in
other words, seems to be bent upon
forcing an economic war with
America.
1t goes without saying that the
Japanese would feel the pinch of
such an economic war with by far
their greatest war material supplier
much more than Americans would.

Why This Investigation?

When the House of Representa-
tives suddenly voted to investigate
the National Labor Board people all
over the country began to wonder
what had happened.
The explanation is found in facts
that show the determination of a
lot of politicians to prevent any
kind of reform in the labor laws.
TheWagner Act, Labor Board, Wage
Hour, and other legislation were
all enacted as experimental mea-
sures, to prevent Sbrikes, walk-outS
and all labor troubles, and to in
crease stability in employment, and
strength in collective bargaining be-
tween Union workers and employers.
The enmity between the two great
labor groups never yielded to
persuasions in behalf of peace-or
even valid truce. CLIO was charg-
ed-with plenty of evidence-to
be the favorite, as well as dictator
to the Labor Board. AFofL made
bitter charges to that effect.
Amendments were proposed in
Congress to labor laws. They We're
'stalled'-all ticketed to be put
off until next winter" Suddenly the
log-jam broke, and an investigation
was ordered by angry congressman.
That seems to be all that is
necessary to start the log-a-rolling,
and clear up the jam. 1t looks as
though the country may look for
ward to general revisions that will
make labor war fairer to those most
concerned, viz: 1.-The Public. 2-Em-
ployees. S-Employers.

AUTO FATALITY RISE SPURS
SAFETY WORK

Safety workers have been moved
to redouble their educational and
preventive work as result of word
from the National Safety Council
that traffic fatalities throughout the
country went up / percent in June
over the same month last year, the
first time this has happened in the
20 months since the unbroken i'm
provement began in November,
1887. The June total was 1880.
just 20 more than last year.
The remarkable showing from
November, 1887, to April of this
year, was made in spite of in
creased travel. It was the failure
to overcome this added hazard that
sent the May and June totals up.
In May alone there was 10 per
cent more travel this year than last.
1t is significant, the Council re-
port shows, that the June increase
was credited wholly to rural areas
Cities reduced fatalities per cent
but this was Offset by a per cent
increase on rural highways. In
creases in rural fatalities in April
and May also Offset reductions, in
the cities. This Is due, 1t is ex-
planned, partly to the fact that
there is more fast driving on the
open country roads, and to the lack
of organized safety work in these
areas.

Collector Purchases
First Bill of Rights

DR.. A. S. w. Rosenbach of WASH
ington, D. c., has acquired the origi-
nal manuscript of the bill Of rights,
which the congress of the United
States assembled to consider $50
years ago.
The noted collector of rare books
and manuscripts has declined to In
dictate from what source 1t had come
into his possession.
1t was on March 4, 1889, that the
congress assembled in New. York
city, then the national capital, to
consider the first IL amendments
proposed for the Constitution. OF
these original IL, the first two con-
cerned the number of members in
the house of representatives and the
manner in which their salaries could
be altered. These two were reject
ed, so that Article III became the
first amendment, and so on down the
list to Article XII, which became
the tenth amendment-the first 10
constituting what the world has
since known as the bill of rights.
The manuscript acquired by DR..
Rosenbach has been placed on dis
play at Philadelphia. Written on
parchment, it bears the signatures
Of Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg,
then speaker of the house, and Of
John Adams, then vice president of
the United States and president Of
the senate. The document was at
tested by John Beckley and Samuel
A. Otis, respectively, clerk of the
house and secretary Of the senate.
