What Is America?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

America is not an accident. No
geographical borders made it into a
nation No isolation of racial strains,
America is not an accident. 1t is the
Towering of an idea, the development
Of principle.
There is no accident about the build
ing of coral atOll. Activated by an
immutable biological law, waves upon
waves of tiny animals gathered to-
gether, dying to form a firm foundation
higher up for those who followed.
Finally the seas were pierced. The
island rose above the waves and lay
revealed to the sun and sky.
SO it is with America. Wave upon
wave of idealists seeking Utopia, of
dreamers who would not recognize de-
feat dared out upon the unconquered
seas.
Wave upon wave of seekers after
freedom and the right to earn better
way of life followed them; steadily
pushing the boundaries westward,
turning the wilderness into gardens,
building cities, laying roads paved
with their blood and tears.
SO the island rises to the water
level, as wave after wave of seekers
after freedom from fear, seekers after
opportunities for their children, clus-
tered together i'm new world.
Each generation left the country
better than it found it. Each wave of
people contributed to the culture and
learning. From every land, of every
faith, they gave their best. Our songs,
our literature. our arts, our sciences
are all the better for these sO-called
foreign elements Even our language
is more picturesque and colorful be-
cause of the contributions from other
tongues.
America is no accident. 1t grew as
did the island until it rose above the
waves, standing strong and secure
against the gale because of the firm
foundation built by waves upon waves
of new Americans.
What is the cement that holds these
different elements together? 1t is the
ideal that is America-the ideal of "A
people who hold the rights of others to
be as important as their own, who will
not compromise with evil who are
building not for themselves alone but
for those who are to follow. That lis
America. 1t is no accident

Big Work Agencies
Ended On June 30|
Two Former Giont Projects
Are Liquiddted BY Ac-
ton Of Congress

Washington, ID. G. (ILNS). - Two
former giant government work agen-
cies, the Works Projects Administra-
tion and the Public Works Administra-
tion both of which were supported by
organized labor, ended their careers
at midnight of June 30.
BY act of congress, the two agen-
cies were liquidated and the remaining
personnel, grand total of about 30
employees, and left over unfinished
business were placed in the hands OF
Major General Philip Fleming, head
of the Federal Works Agency.
WPA and pWA were designed TO
lift the American people out of the
depression and give employment to
millions who were in or near the
breadlines in 1892 and 1888. Legisla
tion establishing them was passed with
the support of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.

officials as between S14,0O0,WO ana

ly $S25 O00, 900 of county and municipal
bonds that neither bankers nor indl-

already has disposed of more than
S600,000,000 of them, through the Re
construction Finance Corp, to those
same bankers and individuals. The
profits went back into the Treasury.

Recommendation For Women
The report recommends that women
develop their own skills as far as pos
sible; take active part in labor unions
and professional organizations con-
nected with their work; learn more
about the economic questions affecting

ganizations are urged to encourage the

Victory Tax
(Continned From PAGE One)

SurtaX.
"The complications involved in max
ing computations of normal tax and
surtax by reason of these double eX-
some double exemptions grow out of
the retention in substance of the So
called victory tax. No tax on the
federal statute books has been more
discredited than this regressive tax,
which bears heavily on low income
groups, and flagrantly violates the
basic principle Of taxation according to
ability to pay"

British censorship offices, denounced
unnecessary political censorship.

You've heard a LOT about
them recently. Here's what
they will - and won't do

RN CHICAGO, few weeks ago, two sisters
were given lie-detector tests when oues-
- toned about the mysterious murder of
their mother. The lie detector gave them
clean bill of health and. as a consequence.

in case of criminal assault. At big ship
yard, recently, a lead furnished by a
. ie-detcctor examination enabled inves-
tigators to solve promptly serious crime
Of wartime sabotage.
These cases are only three of many in
which the lie detector has played decisive
role in recent months. This instrument, which
only few years ago was regarded by most
people as not much more reliable than ouja
board, has grown up. Today it is being used
by many agencies as an efficient tool
Courts in several states now admit lie
detector findings as corroborative evidence
Police in Chicago, New York State and many
other parts of the nation are employing the
instrument regularly in preliminary nvesti-
cations. Its use in banks, chain stores and
other industrial organizations is saving bust
ness millions of dollars year.
One chain-store system which had been
losing more than ST ,OOO, 900 annually through
petty thefts by employees reduced this loss to
few thousand dollars by installing lie detec.
tors Insurance companies which protect
banks against theft and embezzlement have
actually lowered the premiums on policies
of organizations which have their employees
examined regularly by the instruments.
Magic Machine
NoMMoN as its use has become, a great
deal of mystery still surrounds the lie detec-
tor in the public mind. Many people still con-
slider it a crackpot invention. Others, equally
misinfomed, regard it as an almost magical
device which rings gong or flashes red
light every time falsehood is told.
In an effort to find out just what the lie
detector is, how it works, and how reliable
its findings are, recently staged a little in
vestigation of my own. l talked with scien-
fists and psychologists, with police officials
and judges. In two different Laboratories. l
even underwent lie-detector tests and tried
my best to beat the machine.
l learned first that the lie detectOr is
poorly named. Actually, this instrument
is merely a recorder of emotional dis
turbances. There are several different types
in use, but they all operate on the prin-
ciple that any conscious effort to deceive sets
up certain tensions in the human body which
can be scientifically measured. The first IN
strument which tried out made record OF
three different phenomena.
A blood pressure cuff was placed around
my right arm and rubber tube around my
chest. Then, when the electricity was snapped
on, the lie detector itself, which wasn't much
larger than portable radio, went into acton

Jerks Liberator Out of
Spin Like Training Plane

A LIBERATOR BOMBER BASE,
ENGLAND. - The big Liberator
bomber got cantankerous when it
reached $1,000 feet. She tipped her
tail into the air and went into a
spin like a giddy training plane.
Aboard her were Lieut.. Homer Boles
and his nine man crew and three
tons of bombs, all on their way to
bomb the French invasion coast.
''The controls shook out of my
hand like some giant fighting me for
them," Boles said. -"I'd never heard
of anybody spinning a Liberator,
particularly with a full bomb load,
so I decided to tell the crew to
bail out.
"Our rate of descent meter was
as far over as it could go, and that's
5000 feet a minute. Our air speed
indicator showed we were diving at
$50 miles an hour.
81 started pulling controls and
kicking the rudder, just like I did
with a light training plane in flying
school, and sure enough the plane
came out of the spin"
The plane leveled out at about
1000 feet and Boles took roll call,
found everybody at his post and set
full speed ahead to regain the for
nation and complete the mission.
Name of the Liberator? Heaven
Can Wait.

Bulls and Horses Get
Good News; Women's Bad

WASHINGTON. - Government
agencies have made three major
rulings in recent days on the subject
of wearing apparel. They we're:
l. Bulls may lay in a new supply
of copper nose rings.
2. Women, however, must do with
out synthetic rubber girdles for
quite while yet.
3. Horses, on the other hand, may
outfit themselves with new leather
collars.
No discrimination against women
was intended, the agencies insist,
there being enough copper for bulls
nose rings and enough leather for
horse collars, but not as much syn
thetic rubber as had been estimated.

Local cynics who scoffed when

Paveu said that sufferers from
asthma would be cured if they tied

chests. He admitted he didn't know
why muskrat pelts so attached re-
lieved suffering, but he said he knew
it did because he had cured from so
