 A woman who for years has been Q leader in movements to promote roadside beauty reports that she has received the following signifl- cant bit of Americana in the form of letter from motorist who apparently does not see eye to eye with her:
 "This world is made up of all kinds of people. In the car ahead of you the people may want hot dogs, 50 they look for a hot-dog stand. The people in the car be- hind you may want to buy q quilt, so they look for a quilt store. And you yourself may want to stop over night in the next town, and you find just the place through a sign. So why not be Q person who lives and lets live? We all like to ride out in the country, and if there were nothing but trees, grass and roads to look at,

Need for a congress which could work out common program Tor all Negro organizations was first discussed at a confernece of Negro leaders here in 1885.
 A little later, more specific pro- posals for the calling of such a congress were made by James w. Ford, the Communists perennial vice presidential candidate.
 Ford took number of colored leaders to see Earl BroWder and the idea was discussed further.
 Until the time of the Lewis speech, however, there had never been an open row over Commun- hist influence in the organization. The Communists have been giving active support to Lewis tnetative proposals for a third party; his suggestion that Negroes join the move was welcomed by the con- gross d-shouldered by the more conservative Urban League and Nat ional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. GANGSTERS GONE
 FROM MATANUSKA
 Having shaken off most of the mLsfits who were sent north to be pioneers, the Matanuska colony is beginning to get It's feet on the ground. Tales about some of It's original settlers" continue to be told, though. One of the oddest Is the following:
 Among the couples who went to Alaska to homestead were pro- fessional gambler from Cicero, H., and 6 dance-hall gal from the same town. They'd been in the anti-Capone faction, and had fled Cicero to escape Capone's gum men; landed, flat broke, on 6 deso- late northern Michigan farm didn't dare leave 1t, and of course very quickly went on relief.
 As reliefers, they somehow got included in the lise of folks sched- uled to go to Alaska. Figuring Matanuska was Q safe distance from Cicero they went along and apparently, made an honest but completely unconvincing effort to become farmers.
 Nobody knows whatever happened to them, except that they're no longer in Matanuska.
 Which Is a reminder. Friends of Matanuska say many of It's troubles came because some relief officials simply picked out their worst pro- blem cases and shipped them off to Alaska in order to get rid of headaches.

1t would soon get so monotonous that we would look for another road that had things on It."

Fantastic as 1t may seem, the dismaying thought occurs that per. haps this fellow represents a larger percentage of Americans than the beauty lovers had suspected. HIS viewpoint may be one of the reasons why the crusaders for signless and tree-lined roadways have had such uphill work. Have we actually spawned 6 generation with Coney Island souls who honestly would pass up Q noble tree for the sight of a red, white and blue Bar.B-Q sign? Perhaps we have been spoof- ing ourselves, and are really . ila. ton of nature haters ct heart.

Once again we focus our eyes on a theater of war in Europe. It's noticeable now as before that there's lot of fight ing going on between the British and the Germans, but most of 1t Is on soil foreign to both opposing forces. Norway bears the brunt of this latest fight. And we presume these scars of war will sink deep into the hillsides over which tanks and foot soldiers pod. We don't know what some of the belligerents would do if their own lands were to be devastated, but cer-- tainly they do take relish in fighting 1t out away from the homeland.

Should Democrats tonight at their Town Committee meeting decide to base their primary call on contest in the five wards instead of in the 32 voting dis tricts, 1t might provide room for argu- ment on how the law should be inter- preted with regard to the amount to be deposited by opposing tickets. The law says $25 must accompany each ticket filed for each voting district in which there is to be a contest. Can the five wards be called five districts?

Success
knowledge of old sea-going
customs Melted a wide awake
young man the tidy sum of
about five thousand dollars.
This handsome sum did not re-
sut from a game of chance, but
rather from care and initiative.
The purchase of the Louisiana
Territory was paid in the great
er part with silver dollars Of the
year 1904. During the transit of
the money by ship the vessel
was lost, resulting in a great
shortage of dollars of that year,
only 4 known to exist at the
present time. In the days of
sailing vessels, it was a usual
custom to place a silver dollar,
of the year of the vessels
launching under the butt of
the foremost. After some search
the said man found a small
schooner that had been
launched in 1904, bought it for
a song, found the silver dollar,
and sold it to a numismatist for
SIS, 900. 90.
