quarters are in Chicago.
Lowden was Governor of Illinois dur
ing World War I and was head of the
foundations Board of Trustees at his
death. In his will he said:
'I believe the farm family and the
family-size farm should be the special
concern of the farm foundation. I have
looked with concern upon the upward
trend in the acreage per farm and es-
pecially upon the increase in the number
of very large farms.
''The small, diversified type of farm
weathered the depression better than the
large commercial type. To the extent
that the farmer consumes his own prod
uct, disparaging price ratios are not
problem"
The Lowden Plantation
Lowden plantation has an estimated
value, when brought to fun production,
of about s1.500 900. It is located on
alluvial lands along the south bank OF
the Arkansas River, 80 miles southeast
of Little Rock.
AS the market for cotton failed"
DIR. Alderman said, so did the Lowden
cotton acreage until now only about 800
acres are In the crop Lowden bought
the plantation in 1910 and farmed it
until 1927.
After the flood of 1927 the plantation
was leased to tenants instead of direct
operation under manager. Buildings
and yields declined, the land, much of
1t left idle, became badly infested with
weeds, cotton production fell from a
high of 295 pounds an acre to 66 pounds
an acre.
An Educational Process
I'VE need to dissipate the suspicion
OF the tenants. We need to help the
landowners and businessmen see that
their own lot will be bettered and they
will make more money if their tenants
and customers and neighbors are
healthier, better educated, and wiser in
the ways of farming.
I'VE can only do this by the slow
processes of education. We couldn't do
it by buying our way in with lot Of
money"

Started as wartime emergency program
by joint action of several Government
agencies, and administered by the Civil
Aeronautics Administration, it has
cleared the South American skyways.
Sources of Danger
At the time Hitler plunged Europe into
war the Axis dominated approximately
27,000 miles of South American airlines
The network represented a potential
espionage and sabotage chain that led
directly to the Panama Canal Even
more dangerous was its possible use as
the spearhead of an airborne invasion of
this hemisphere.
Realizing the danger the United States
Government began cut-throat and un-
publicized struggle to wrest these air.
lines from Axis domination. One by one,
pilots, technicians and administrators
who owed allegiance to the enemy were
sent packing. American capital helped
good neighbor nations tear ownership
from enemy hands. Finally when the
United States became embroiled in the
war South America was cleansed of the
Axis air threat
Another problem had arisen, however.
In order to make the South American
lines potent aid in hemisphere defense
new personnel had to be found-and
quickly.
In Training Here
Under the early rehabilitation pro-
gram, American planes equipment and
funds had been made available to South.
American lines. A few CAA experts had
been assigned to break in" prospective
personnel. But these few men could not
be expected to set up and train entire
airline stats. Establishment of schools
in each country was impracticable The
answer was to bring carefully screened
men to this country for instruction.
The first class under this program
entered the United States in January,
1912. There were 259 prospective trans
port pilots, 116 mechanics and 90 in
structor mechanics. Wartime trans
portation difficulties cut the second
years program heavily. but 49 pilots and
"a mechanics came north. In 1914 there
were "a pilots, 66 mechanics and Is
technicians.
AT Special Schools
The current years program began this
spring when 1T trainees entered the
United States. Twenty-three prospective
transport pilots went to flying school
at West Lafayette, Ind: 80 mechanic
trainees to a noted ground school at
Tulsa, Okla. and the SO other admin
istrative and technical personnel TO

he had to concentrate on
every movement, coax
and wheedle that bum
leg along. Level ground
wasn't bad and he had
long ago lost his fear
there, though he did hate
that awful limp. But this
business of shifting and
maintaining balance on
a little narrow step-not
once, but over and over
was terrifying. Because
he did so we'll back at the

laughed at him for his
fright, but she couldn't
know how his heart
knotted up in a little
hard lump and the bot
tom seemed to fall out of
his stomach. Coming
down held the most tor
lures, though. Suppose
that leg should buckle
under him suddenly?
The thought of pitch
ing headlong down the
stairs made Joe catch
his breath. He decided
to rest a second or two.
He wondered If he
would tell Miss johnson
of this when he returned
to Walter Reed the
next evening. Joe wasn't

pretty nurse, but she

me the name and ad-

he was staying and I

have caught a cab, but
I decided on a streetcar

Honestly, sir, I felt
like slapping that girl. I
looked around to see
where she was, but she
was just stepping OFF
through the center doors.
I hated her as much as

to do the peacetime selling job that
needs to be done If the country is
to have maximum prosperity, Arthur
H. Motley, publisher of the Amer
ican Magazine, said here last night.
Addressing the newly formed
Washington Sales Executive Club at
the Statler Hotel, Mr.. Motley said
the Nations prewar total of 1000 900
statesmen dropped to 4,000,000 during
the war.
Sales managers should recruit
servicemen and displaced war work.
ers, Mr.. Motley said. Many service
men are confused about the future
and need guidance, he said, and
added:
II find that military training and
discipline have tended to dull the
serviceman's initiative. He doesn't
fear the future, but he is confused.

@. Please tell something about
the REA programme. C.
A. The Rural Electrification Ad-
ministration program was created in
1885. Only one farm in 10 was re-
ceiving central station electricity.
Today almost half of the farms in
the United States have electricity.
AS of June 80, 1945 Rural Electri-
flcation Administration had allotted
about $685., 100000 to some 900 bor-
roWers, largely co-operativeS. Primo

physician and author, any sons?-
L. F. H.
A. Silas Weir Mitchell had two
sons. John Kearsley Mitchell was
associated with his father in his
profession. Langdon Elwyn Mitchell
was a playwright and poet
@. Upon what basis did the
Supreme Court decide that travel
time between portal and face of
coal mine is working time under the
Fair Labor Standards Act?-L. D.
A. The basis for this holding
was that the travel took place
underground, the miners were sub
jected to continuous hazard and
were obliged to comply with COM
pany safety rules in the course of
such travel and, in addition, the
travel was for the use and convent
ence of the employer rather than
of the miners.
Q. When and where was the
Stone Mountain Memorial half
dollar minted?-P. H. A.
A. All of the Stone Mountain
Memorial half dollars we're minted
in Philadelphia in 1925. The total
value was $1,157 ,35450.
Q. What is the origin of the word
gantlet in the expression running
the gantlet"?-A. A. F.
A. Gantlet as used in this phrase
does not mean an iron glove. 1t is
derived from the Swedish "gatlopp"
meaning running down a lane"
Running the gantlet was form of
military punishment said to have
originated in the Thirty Years War
