HAPPINESS IS THEME
OF MEMORIAL ARTICLE
BY CUT STONE FIRM
"And there is even a Happiness
That makes the heart afraid.

"How like the swing of a
mighty pendulum is life! From
laughter to tears, from Joy to woe,
from light to shade, u lives rock
to'and fro and with what seems to
be a regulated rhythm not unlike
the law which Emerson described
in his essay on Compensation. To
be sure, there are many who eem
to escape the bitter things of life
but how true it is that we cannot
Judge from externals, nor can any
mans life be appraised until 1t is
finished. Too often, as Yulden
rhymed the thought, we r
charmed with distant views of Hap
piness, but carer approaches
make the prospect less. Neverthe-
less Nature shows, according to
Cowper, that Happiness depends
less on exterior things than most
suppose, and as Cotton maintained,
we are fools to roam for Happiness
since within our breast this jewel
lies. To be sure, destiny often
seems determined to steal tn e
jewel, but, as Bernard Shaw OBJ
served, no man could bear a life
time of Happiness, it would be
hell on earth-the pendulum again.
Perhaps the key to genuine Hap
piness is held by those who have
learned to expect both sunshine
and shadow in life, who enjoy that
domestic Happiness which Cowper
believed was the only bliss of Par
adise that survived the Fall, and,
finally, they are happiest who be-

Bark|ey Speech Gives
Hint Of Campaign
Democrats Will Waqe
Links WiIIkie to Power
Interests and Derides
Republican Platform
BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.

Dy Il otdl COrTeSpOnQenL Oh i ne otar.
CHICAGO, July 17-Foreshadow-
ing the battle which the Democratic
party will wage during the coming
national campaign, Senator Barkley,
in his address to the Democratic
National Convention last night, ham
died the Republicans without gloves.
The delegates listened rather i'm
patiently to the Barkley speech.
They considered it merely a prelude
to the announcement of President
Roosevelt's attitude toward third
term nomination, which had been
promised Immediately after the con-
clusion of the Barakley address.
The address, however, turned out
to be probably the most tempes-
tuous affair ever staged by perma-
nent chairman of a Democratic
National Convention. For Senator
Barkley mentioned the President by
name. 1t was signal for a demon
stration by the delegates and guests
which lasted for - minutes.
Tribute to Farley.
Immediately before the Barkley
address, Mrs. Lucretia D. Grady,
Democratic national committeewo-
man for California, brought the
audience to its feet with q resolution
paying tribute to National Chair
man Farley. 1t was adopted by a
rising vote. The affection with
Mr.. Farley is held by the Democratic
leaders from all parts of the country
was clearly demonstrated.
Senator Barkleys speech was at
once an attack on the Republican
presidential nominee, Wendell L.
Willkie, and the platform adopted
at Philadelphia, and a defense of
the Roosevelt administration against
the charges by the Republican foe.
A fighting ce:lpaign speech, it
reused the delegates and the gall
leries to repeated applause and
cheers.
The convention chairman de-
scribed the Republican platform as
having the appearance of being
written in mud by the migratory
feet of weasel"
ut is the perfect example of the
uncertainties and antiquities of
men who do not know where they
are going or what they will do when
they arrive" said Senator Barkley.
Sees "Chameleon" Chosen.
''They seemed unwilling or afraid
to nominate any man who had been
a Republican for more than two
years. Hence they chose political
chameleon. The Philadelphia con-
vention constituted the second
charge of the light brigade, in the
heroic battle of kilowatt."
This was the chairman's way of
denouncing the nomination of Mr..
Willkie, who had been president of
the Commonwealth g. Southern
Power Corp. and who until year
ago had been labeled Democrat.
Senator Barkley denied in toto the
Republican charges that the Roose-
velt administration has sought to
set class against class and to punish
American business.
He said the effort of the last
seen years has been to rebuild the
faith of the people in their own
brand of democracy.

Livestock Raisers Ask
Southeast Rate Revision
BY the Associated Press.

oy ZIG ASSOClAtcu TIcsS.
ATLANTA, July 17.-Southeastern
State officials, supported by testi-
mony of farm economists and live
stock raisers, carried their plea for
revision of livestock freight rates
back before Interstate Commerce
Commission examiners today.
The testimony, petitioners coun-
sci said, was designed to show a
widespread trend to development Of
livestock in the Southeast as a
means of reclaiming eroded land
and as new source of cash income.
Southeastern farm economists and
livestock raisers asked for lower
rates and "try-the- market" ship
ping privileges yesterday.
L. r. Paramore, economist of the
Mississippi Agricultural Extension
Service, declared it is essential" to
have adequate transportation and
freight rates that will permit our
livestock to move without discrimi-
nation to our farmers" if the Mis-
sissippi farming system is to be i'm
proved.
A better freight rate" would
speed development of livestock rails

Tenn, president of the Tennessee
Producers Livestock Association.
Freight rates were pictured as a
big deterrent to mass develop

Southeast by E. B. Weathery, Coch-

Some witnesses testified that Ship
ment privileges. similar to those
granted by most railroads in other
sections, are required to spur the
influx Of feeder steers into the
Southeast. The privileges include

FIRST CORPS AREA NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
l,43S Recruits Must Be Enrolled By August 3l
 to Fill Quota

Extended to it's greatest capacity the Army Recruiting Service of the First Corps Area is concentrated on enlisting the 1438 recruits needed to fill Preparedness Acquisition No. 2, by August 31st, it was announced to- day by It. Col. John L. Rice, Re- cruiting Officer for the First Corps Area, consisting of the six New Eng land States.
 "All Corps Areas of the Army suc- ceeded in completing their quota on Preparedness Acquisition No. l." said Col. Rice. The Fourth Corps Area with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga, and the Fifth Corps Area with head quarters at Fort Hayes, Columbus, Ohio, haee already begun their new allotment on Acquisition No. B."
 This Corps Area started on Re- quisition No. l, on May 22. It re- quired, with changes, 787 recruits to be enlisted by June 30. On June 22 the War Department allotted Pre- paredness Acquisition No. 2, with 2145 additional recruits to be enlisted
 <n addition to the two current acquisitions, the Recruiting Service is charged with the normal replace ment of recruits for the First Corps Area, which averages 250 enlistments each month. Requirements for Over seas stations, such as Puerto Rico, the Panama Canal Zone, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands, average about 260 each month, according to the War Department allotments.
 All Recruiting Districts and Sub- stations throughout the six states o the First Corps Area open their of mices at 800 a. m. daily except Sum- day, and remain open long after us- ual business closing hours. This af- lords ample opportunity for inter- viewing young eligibles who are em- ployed but are not satisfied with their possibilities of advancement, and who realize the fine opportuni- ties the Army offers men desiring to learn some trade. Recruiting per- sonnel are able to talk these matters over with them ana assist them to find the best prospects in the Army suitable to their individual aptitudes.

ARMY STEERS UP|
 IN DEFENSE PLAN
New Fast Moving Aircraft Warning Units for All
 Sea Coasts
BY MACK JOHNSON Z Tr,S.Ia ur.vs ct.N rcrrc~no,,aavtl


 United Press Stan CorrespondentD
 washington, July 20--(UP) The army today disclosed that 1t is es- tablishing four new fast-moving aircraft warning units as the first part of program to strengthen defenses on seacoasts and in island outposts against bombing attack.
 Each of the four companies will be organized on a pattern worked out experimentally earlier this year at Mitchell Field, Long Island, un- der Brig. Gen. James E. Chaney. A single command will direct the activities of every type of defense against raiding aircraft - pursuit squadrons, anti-aircraft batteries and warning signal services
 The first units of about 250 men each will be stationed at Mitchell Field, Ft. Sam Houston, Tex, March Field, Cal, and Hawaii. The expanded program envisages six companies on the Atlantic coast, one on the Gulf of Mexico, three on the Pacific and several others in Alaska, Hawaii, Panama and Puerto Rico.
 Use Army's Secret
 With equipment provided partly from the $6,299 900 recently voted by Congress to expand warning fa- cilitieS, the companies will employ the army's secret. sound locators" designed to pick up the motor drone of invading aircraft before they reach American shores and give de- lending planes a chance to take the air against them.
 The entire organization, officials said, is 8 direct outgrowth of Euro- pean war developments which have demonstrated the necessity of a lightning warning system. Coor- dinated with the "locators," which army men say are superior to any thing used in Europe, will be searchlights, telephones and tele- type machines set to flash word to field troops, interior points or un- protected frontiers.
 Sites for permanent stations and the extent to which organization of the new units has progressed were not revealed. No permanent organi- zations are contemplated, however, for either the Mexican or Canadian borders, it was said.
 Brig. Gen. George V. Strong, chief of the war plans division recently testified before the Senate appro- priations committee that the Euro pean war proves the vital neces- sity" of timely warning" of the ap- preach of bombers.

Small U-Boats Specially Built
 To Halt Flow Of Food To Enemy

many good bases along the channel and the west coast of Norway.
 Uniformly shallow seas around England make safe descentS rela- lively easy. Visibility is poor eight months of the year, an advantage of the slow submarine. Lastly, the sea lanes converge on only a few English ports, rendering patrol of merchant shipping relatively simple. FIGURES BACK
 GERMAN CLAIMS
 Certainty that the 250-ton sub- marine is the basis for the Nazi claim of one ship day would make clear probably the most important phase of German plans for carry ing total war to England.
 When war broke out, 52 mer- cantile ships occupied 35 slips or berths of German shipbuilders. Eight leading yards had 75 of the 95 slips available. This left 50 to 60 berths which could be used for war craft. Allowing for other craft known to be in construction, almost 50 berths were available for subs.
 Two and sometimes three, 250- ton U-boats could be built in the larger berths, so yards space was available for about 100 subs.
 On 1888 estimates of German shipyard capacity, about 50,000 tons could be produced in the small subs. AS this is only 200 a year, or 16 to IT month, production would not be difficult to maintain. An estimate of 20 a month is entirely reason able.
 Counting in the 500-ton and 750- ton types, it is probably true that the Nazis are able to build a sub marine day.
 DIESEL ENGINES
 GERMANS FAVOR
 Several factors favor German efforts to build U-boats quickly and efficiently. The Germans have de- veloped the Diesel engine more thoroughly than any other ship builders; they have adopted weld ing to a maximum degree, and welding lightens subs and increases diving capacity; last, they design by mathematical probability-safety factors cover but do not protect be- yond rather close limits.
 From our sources it is estimated that Germany now has about 200 of the 250-ton U-boat and possibly 100 or more of the 500 and 750-ton boats.
 England still controls the seas about the Isles, with the possible exception of a narrow strip across the greater width of the channel near Calais, where the Germans seem to be maintaining an effective mine field and submarine patrol.
 Germany continues to maintain a relatively stable mastery of the air. Planes, however, are auxiliary weapons. They can be effective only when co-ordinated with an equally
