HOLY WEEK

The week March 1924 is observed
all over the world as Holy Week, the
anniversary of the final week of the
life of Jesus Christ. The events that
occurred during those seven days
have made a greater change in his
tory than any similar seven days
proceedings in all human life.
Those days saw a strange shift in
human action. On Palm Sunday the
world of Jerusalem followed Jesus
as He entered the city. acclaiming
Him as their Leader and King, for
Whom they felt the highest adora-
tion. On the Friday following, the
people Of the same city turned
against Him and demanded His
death. So He was cruelty nailed to
a cross. Apparently His earthly ca
reer was ended, but Easter Sunday
told a different story.
The world will always speculate
how this amazing reversal of public

and Friday. Perhaps the people who
acclaimed Him when He entered the |
city were not the same ones who |
demanded His crucifixion. No doubt |
those who hated Him were lying |
low when He made His triumphal |
entry, and were forming their plots.
Anyway the whole experience is a
tremendous lesson of the fickleness
with which public opinion often
changes. 1t can often be stirred to
Violent and dangerous action by sell
fish leaders.
1t is strange perversion of hu-
nan nature that a man like Jesus,
Who was bent only on doing good
and Who went about healing the
sick and comforting the people.
should have aroused such cruel hate.
The Prince of Peace Who brought
only blessing and happiness was

ministration
Their annual income IS usually
only from $500 to $45O a year They
usually travel from place to place
in old automobiles, they live in tents,
and their children ordinarily have
little chance for education or medi-
cal care.
Yet the labor Of these people is
necessary to harvest the various
crops. If business could be aided to
become more prosperous and give
more regular employment, the mar
ket for farm products would large
ly increase, and the opportunities
for the migratory workers to earn
money should be improved.

TOWNS MAKE FRIENDS

People win success in large part
by making friends. They are SO
social and genial that everyone likes
to do business with them.
Towns win friends in the same
way. People who come there to live
receive such warm greetings that
they soon feel at home. Those who
come for visits are received so
pleasantly that they form a desire
to come there to live. People feel
happy in such places. The friend
ships formed are ties that bind them
very strongly to such communities.
They often sacrifice better working
and business offers just because they

PRODUCET0N COSTS

] While the American people ar
worrying as to why from S,OOO,OOl
to s,OOO,0OO people are out of work
they should look into the question
Of production costs.
Anything that raises production
costs raises the prices of goods and
services. When the prices Of goods
and services go up, the people buy
less Of these goods and services
That throws people out of work.
One thing that increases produc-
ton costs is increased taxes. When
taxes go up. The concern that has to
pay the higher tax is usually entitled
to charge a higher price for these
goods and services. If the higher
price can't be obtained. some of the
sellers of these goods and services
have to go out of business. That
throws people out Of work
It was felt by many when the de-
preston started. that the way to
rut the unemployed to work was to
cut down the hours Of the working
week. So in many industries, prob
ably the great majority, the working
week was cut from As or As hours to
40 hours more or less. Now if a
group of employees can do the same
work in 40 hours that they formerly
did in As, there is no increased pro-
duction cost and everybody should
be happy. Probably in the majority
of cases they can't. If that is so,
then the producer is faced with in
creased labor costs of probably 10 |
to Is per cent. The producer who is !
faced with that difficulty is very apt
to think up labor saving plans, or
buy labor saving machinery. to on
set these higher production costs.
Thus the plan that was supposed to
put idle labor to work is apt TO
cause loss of jobs to many.
The American people desire and
,eed many more things than they
lave. If they could buy them, labor
would be well employed. Production
osts have to be kept at point
where the public shall be able TO buy
II these things.

VANISHING HUSBANDS

Husbands who abandon their wives
and children and suddenly disap-
pear from sight, apparently never to
return. and leaving their families to
take care of themselves. have al
ways constituted a problem. 1t is
remarked that the country has seen
many more of such cases since the
depression came on.
Life and fate seem dark and heavy
to many woman and her little ones,
when the breadwinner decides the
job is too heavy for him and he
drops out of sight. Perhaps in some
cases the family left behind are as
we'll off. Such husband has not
usually created any great happiness
at home. He may have been very
smooth and smiling when the sun
was shining, and the skies fair, and
then have turned sour when the
storms came, and the air became
chilly with unemployment and fear
Such family disasters are a mel
ancholy contrast to the bright and
happy days of courtship and mar
riage. When the fellow and girl
are keeping company all life looks
rosy. They probably see nothing but
music and dancing ahead. If the way
proves rough and stony, and uphill
all the way, it is not strange that
some human hearts not built for
difficult going cant stand the strain. |
The husband is not going to gain
anything if he vanishes and seeks to
escape from his obligations to good
wife who married him in full faith,
and looked up to his manly vigor as
tower of strength. He may be rid
of heavy money burden when he
drops out of sight, but if he has
normal feelings a burden of regret
will gnaw at his heart indefinitely.
If he will stick by the job and do
his best, the community will hold
out helping hands. He will find that
the dark days always pass. and the
sun shines again.

Contributed Herbs

In the early days of its existence
the Mexican natives made contribu-
tons of healing herbs. Quinine for
malaria was an American drug. Be-
sides that the Indians prepared and
knew the uses of cascara sagrada.
Chenopodium fused today for intes-
final parasites), Peruvian balsam,
sarsaparilla, Tolu and cannabis in
dica also were New World drugs. In
he great garden of Montezuma
there were to be found, according to
Prescott, any herbs desired by ply
sicians. There were remedies against
bleeding, dysentery, parasites, skin
and eye disease - in fact, one or
more plants for every disease.
Cortez was so impressed by the
skill of the Aztec medicine men that
after the battle of Otumba he wrote
his master, Charles V, that there
was no use sending Spanish physi-
clans to the New World There is
street set apart for the sale of
herbs, where can be found every
sort of root and medicinal herb
grown in this country. There are
houses like apothecary shops where
prepared medicines are sold, as we'll
as liquids, ointments and plasters.
A beautiful portrait of its foun-
der, fernando Cortez, hangs in the
board room of the modern hospital.

War Moves On
 Today's Board
By J. w. T. MASON Limited Press War Expert)

Hitler'S speech in Berlin yesterday has special military interest because of it's appeal to Great Britain for mutual cessation of night air bomb ing. Hitler described the night at- tacks as useless" and it seems probable that this part of his speech was due to pressure of the German people. disputed by hostilitieS in the dark.
 The Fuehrer's protest marks his first defensive utterance since the beginning of the war. Hitherto he has always spoken entirely about forthcoming offensives. Yesterday however, he indicated that Ger many wanted to moderate the wal by eliminating night raiding.
 It is strange that Hitler thus tries to lay down rules limiting air war fare after his frequent references to the great preponderance of Ger man aviation strength and his prom ise to the German people that they would have air mastery over Brit ain. It would seem that aviatio,, plans of the German high com- mand are not working out accord ing to schedule.
 Moral Argument
 Hitler's statement that he waited three months before retaliating against British night bombing was intended as a moral argument. But as matter of fact, German aviatorS had no training in night navigate (Continued on Page 4)

BRITISH DRIVE
 BACK GERMANS
Another Attack Upon LOn- don Proper Frustrated
 By Fighters of Britain
By WALLACE CARROLL

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, Sept. 5-CUP)-German planes were driven back from an at tack on London today by anti-air- craft fire and fighter planes after a night during which they had bombed 50 English towns and rural areas with unprecedented fury.
 The air and home security minis tries said in communique that 'en- emy aircraft in considerable num- bers crossed the southeast coast this morning and some penetrated the outskirts of London. Some bombs were reported dropped in this area but from preliminary reports it does not appear that serious damage was done. Our fighters and anti-aircraft guns went into action and losses were inflicted upon the enemy. Dur ing last nights action over this country two enemy bombers were in- tercepted and shot down by oul fighter aircraft shortly after mid night"
 Splitting into small formations 1T an attempt to break through tht anti-aircraft barrage, the German planes came up the Thames estuary An air raid alarm was sounded 1T the London area at 10 a. m, first since the "all clear" had been given at 10:45 last night at the end of a night raid.
 A blast of gun fire was heard on the outskirts of London, and reports came of raiders over the midlands and southwestern England.
 The "all clear" came in London at 10:56 a. m.
 British in Action
 Within few minutes of the alarm British fighter planes had been up and in action.
 The staccato of machine gun fire was heard as the planes engaged, far above a river haze. Firing continued

More Destroyers Quit Boston For Sea Trip
Atlantic Destroyer Fleets Flagship Led Departure; Names on DestrOyers on Way to Britain
 Are Painted Out

Boston, Sept. 5-(UP)-Two more over-age destroyers, led by the At lantic destroyer fleets flagship, moved out of Boston harbor toward Canada today apparently to join at sea the first contingent of three al- ready enroute to transfer to the royal navy.
 The work of preparation for de- livery proceeded at full speed here on 10 others of the 50 destroyers in- volved in the swap for Atlantic coast naval and air bases. More of the ships in the trade were expected to arrive following the destroyer Mac Kenzie which steamed into the har- bor soon after dawn.
 Their names painted out, the first two older destroyers leaving today flew the American flag but no com mission pennants. They were iden- tified through numbers as the Hern- don and the Welles, 1190 tons each.
 The destroyers now at sea were eX- pected to meet at predesignated point outside the Emile limit and proceed perhaps to Halifax, N. S., accompanied by the destroyer tender Denebola. The newer U. S. s. Russell was expected to return here.
 The Russell, Hern0on and Welles left their moor1ngs at five minute intervals and moved slowly down. harbor. They formed in tight single line off Graves Light. The first of this second contingent passed through the outer harbor about S:l5 e. m.
 Commanders Ignorant
 It was understood that even the commanders of the destroyers en- route to Canada did not know their final port Of call. but that orders would be radioed. one source re- ported that crack gunners were aboard with skeleton crews Of about % men to each ship Each normally carries 100 to i26 men.
