UNCLE SAM DOESN'T
PROVIDE YOUNGSTERS

L WI LINZ
If you want to adopt a child,
don't write to the children's bureau.
That bureau does lots Of things,
but it doesn't provide children.
A lot Of people got the idea that
it did, this past winter, and some
hundreds wrote in saying they
wanted a child and would the bu-
reau send one along, please. Agnes
Hanna, the bureaus social service
director, who had to answer all
those letters, finally found out peo-
pie had been misleading a recent
book, which advised prospective
foster-parents to write the c%hildren's
bureau for advice.
To stem the flood, the bureau fl
nally had to get out a special
pamphlet. 1t tells all who are in
terested to consult agencies in the
home town if they want to adopt
children.
April has been extra rainy, so far,
and the department Of agriculture
people hope it stays that way. A
bad drouth situation was develop
ing in a number Of great plains
states, due to scanty fall and win
ter precipitation. April showers
have been correcting it, however
and if they keep on the department

RUM TAXES
WOULD HELP

Several years ago the Bacardi
Corporation, makers Of rum, built
a big distillery in Puerto Rico. Lo-
cal distillers got the legislature to
decree that no foreign" company
could operate in Puerto Rico with
out giving UP its foreign name and
trademark. Bacardi went to federal
court and got an injunction. On ap-
peal to a mainland circuit court,
however, the law was upheld. APP
peal has been taken to the supreme
court, but the Bacardi people have
about given up hope that they can
get the law knocked out.
So now Bacardi is threatening to
move out of Puerto Rico and set
up shop in the Virgin Island. Puer-
to Rico has been getting about
$400, 900 a year from Bacardi in
taxes; if the Virgin Islands should
get that money they'd be in Glow
er, a poorhouse no longer.
Congress will have to help a lit
tie. Present law puts into the fed
eral treasury all internal revenue
taxes collected on Virgin Island
goods shipped to the mainland.
Gov. Lawrence Cramer is working
for an amendment. probably will

withdrawal from the North Carolina
for Roosevelt committee Ivy in tbs
fact that she delayed it as long as
she die after Governor Clyde r.
Hoey was known to have regarded
the FDR movement with distaste.
Mrs. Spillman's regard for and

the esteem and ~veneration of a mcr,

able that she would stay on any
committee upon which the Hoey
stamp of approval is lacking.
