Hear Brookings Expert
Criticize Dictators

Kept Up by Free
Enterprise, He Says

Sharply criticizing the PHILOSOPHERS
of three European dictators, Meyer
Jacobstein of the Brookings Institu-
ton today declared that the "high-
est standard of living the world has
ever known has been achieved and
maintained in our own country,
where free enterprise has always
been characteristic of our people
and an essential part of our national
life"
The speaker struck the keynote of
a three-day institute of small busi-
nessmen at the Commerce Depart
ment auditorium by declaring that
their own theme, THE Free Enter
prise System as a Way of Life" was
most timely.
Underlying the philosophy of
Stain, Mussolini and Hitler" the
speaker said, lis the thought that
free enterprise must be destroyed
and replaced by a totalitarian So
cialistic RECOMMENDATION of economic
and political life Free enterprise
has been the driving force of eco
nomic life in the modern world.
Indeed, it is hard to conceive Of our
phenomenal economic progress apart
from this freedom of economic
activity"

BY LOUIS J. SCHAEFLE United Press Staff Correspondent

BY LOUIS J. SCHAEFLE United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Aug. 23-CUP)-The senate gives final legislative ap- proyal today to the bill empowering President Roosevelt to mobilize 3e5, 1000 National Guardsmen and army reservists for 8 year of train ing.
 Chairman Morris Sheppard of the Senate Military Affairs Com mittee said he would interrupt de- bate on the urke-Wadsworth con- scription bill to take up the cno- ference report on the mobilization bill.
 The senate is expected to act quickly. Approval is assured. Both houses passed the bill by overwhelm- ing majorities and the house yester- day adopted it in final form as re- ported by the senate-house con- ferees. Senate action will send 1t to the White House.
 The bill is one of principal points advocated by the president in his program to strengthen the nations defenses. Subject to immediate call will be 242,0O0 guardsmen and 152,- GOO reserve officers and men. They will train for a year with the regu- lar standing army of 282.OOO.
 Some to be Exempt
 Some of those subject to call will be exempt because of dependents, but after one year Of instruction of the remainder, the United States will have 670,000 highly trained sol- diers.
 All would be available to send anywhere in the western hemisphere or the Philippines in event of an emergency.
 AS the senate entered its eleventh day of debate on the conscription bill. a new issue-the right of draftees to vote-was delaying the final vote and senate Democratic leader Alben w. Barkley admitted that the chances of vote this week are gloomy"
 Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo, will sponsor an amendment to in- sure voting rights. His plan pro longed the discussion of the amend ment currently occupying the sen ate's attention, one to restrict the total number of couScripts to 8oc,- 900.
 Long speeches are still to be de- livered on the pending amendment, Barkley said. and prospects point to a vote about the middle Of next week.

 To dream of nails is sign your reputation will be attacked.
 To dream of a lion means your courage and hope will return to you.
 To dream of being caught while committing a crime means that sore temptation will come to you.
 To dream of a pipe is sign you will terminate a business deal successfully.
 To dream of war foretells an in- heritance. To dream of snakes means you will have trouble with your enemies.
 The first night you sleep under new quilt. what you dream will come true.
 If you place your shoes at an angle of 45 degrees and enter your bed backward, yeu win dream of your future home.
 That individuals are warned in dreams is the belief of people in every walk of life. A strange incident of this nature recently was reported by Mrs. Mary Johaii. ovics. of Toledo. O.

he could fall in love in the good

Certainly she and Brent We're

Romanv doubted seriously that she
could ever love anyone with the
passion and depth she had read
about in books. Cholly was that
tvpe - the sort who ached with af-
lection. Romany couldn't possibly
see herself being hurt very deeply
bv any mans lack of affection, or
his neglect. She intended to marry,
of course. But she was smart
enough to be practical about it.
Into her thoughts came Baxter
Tree, and she stirred ~restlessly. 1t
had been days since she had even
caught a glimpse of Bax. When she
called to invite him to dinner a
week before, he'd said he was
working on a short story and u
finish it in a hurry. Bax had prom
ised to call her back, but he hadn't
done so.
Was it because Bax had no
money to take her out? Or had he
lust decided he didn't care to both
er about her? 1t could be because
of Brent Nelson.
If BaX hadn't called or dropped
in for any of those reasons, except
lack of interest, it was silly of him.
Romany made UP her mind to do
something she had never done be-
fore. Bax had an apartment near
by. She would drop by and call
on him.

Romany said excitedly.
Cholly looked up, startled.
"How did you know that?'
Romany ran over and dropped tc
her knees beside her friend.
"You didn't tell him that you
w%ouldn't?" she asked fearfully.
Cholly nodded, her eyes filling
with tears.
"Of course I did. Oh, let's not
talk about it nowr'
Romany got up, saying shortly
"Okay. But you're crazy, Cholly."
She walked out of the room, leaV-
ing Cholly to herself. She hung her
coal in the hall closet and tossed
her hat on a hanger. Then she went
into the living room and threw her
self into a chair.
But, on second thought, Romany
decided things weren't as black as
they seemed. If Cholly didn't care
for Dover, she wouldn't refuse te
talk about what had happened.
She hadn't wanted to talk about
Terry after breaking her engage

hadn't sent Dove away angry, il
she meant to go on seeing him
there still was hope he would ask
her to marry him again and she
would break down and say yes.
