FIFTY YEARS OF WHEELS

Much of Americas progress i'll the
past so years-as has been interest
ingly brought out by the Automotive
Golden Jubilee celebrated in Detorit
recently-kas been due to the auto
mobile.
Automobile spells transporta-
ton to most of us, convenient
other. Such casual appraisal hardly
ever extends to the ramifications of
the industry and how it has carried
America along. In wartime, World
War II particularly, it has served
we'll. One high Army official pointed
out that "the biggest mistake made
by the Nazis was when they put their
war on wheels"
Estimates are that one of every
seven of The some 100000 jobs
now being worked at in the United
States is either directly or indirectly
connected to the auto industry.
About 9O,O0O,000 motor vehicles
have been built here in the last SO
years, and some 3O,000,000 are in
use al present. The automobile has
spread the cities of the Nation far be-
yond their 1900 bounds, and brought
rural jewellers to city conveniences in
many circumstances. There are 54,-
600 communities in the United States
at present served only by truck, bus
es and automobiles.
The automobile means more than
mere machine in America. 1t Las
become a part OF life, a facility that
las been gained through evolution
dating back to the days when the
first primitive man found that disc
or round log rolled and made his
work easier.

RENT RACKETEERS

Veterans and civilians alike who
are seeking to rent living quarters
should watch out for rent racketeers
Mr.. Walter R. Heath, Area Rent Di-
rector said recently.
Pressurse for violations are in
creasing with the demands for hous-
ing not only in the Baltimore rental
area but also in nearly all rent con-
troll areas, Mr.. Heath said.
complaints of violations and at
tempted evasions of filing rent regu-
lations have increased recently" Mr.
Heath said. Prospective tenants
need not, and should not, pay bonus
es, side-payments or exorbitant
prices for furniture in order to rent
an apartment or home at tie illegal
ceiling price. Instead, they should
notify their nearest rent office,
promptly, of attempted evasions so
that proper action may be taken to
prevent selfish landlords from TAX
ing unfair advantage of the tight
housing situation.
81 want to make it clear that the
majority of landlords in this area are
complying with all of the OPA's nee
essary controls to prevent imitation
airy rents. They have been and will
continue to be fair to their tenants.
With the demand for housing increas
ing constantly, however, the oppor-
tunities for violations increase and
some selfish landlords try a wide va
riety or schemes to evade detection.
Tenants should be on guard not to
become victims of such evasions.
Landlords and tenants alike who
have any question about their rights
or obligations under OPA rent reg
ulations should present their ques-
tions to the rent Office" Hr. Heath
added.

A significant change in the Ma
tons fiscal policy will be wrought if
S. 2197 becomes law. This bill, intro
duced by Senator Willard E. Tydings
at the request of the sevearl state tax
payer assertions campaigning for a
balanced Budget this year, would re-
quire the President, on July 81 of
this year, to sum up all current ap-
propriations and unobligated balan-
ces of previous appropriations; then
to issue proclamation requiring ap-
preparations to be administered at a
scaled down percentage so that total
expenditures shall not exceed the
anticipated revenue of $31, O,OO0,-
600 in the fiscal year beginning July
1. Certain fixed items, such as debt
service, social security, and veterans
relief, would be exempted from the
pro-rata reductions.
Senator Tydings heads the Sub
Committee of the Senate Finance
Committee handling the bill, and is
said to be spearheading determined
movement to ssmake Federal Budget
ing mean something" by forcing the
indiscriminate mass of appropriate
tions to match revenue in the first
year OF peacetime.

TIME TO CAN

Home freezing, canning, and stOr-
age of foods in 1916 is a vital part
of the nations food program, point
ed out Miss Margaret McPheeters,
Marylad extension nutritionist, in adj
vising families to take advantage of
god fruit and vegetable supplies to
preserve them for winter use.
With the pressure on to reduce
use of wheat, with commercial can
ners Handicapped by shortage of steel
plate Tor tin cans, and with labor
shortages still plaguing our food pro-
duction and distribution lines, home
preservation of food is moro essential
than ever before, she said to assure
a comfortable and we'll balanced win
ter food supply.
Spring greens, rhubarb, and peas
are major foods now available, since
asparagus and Strawberries have al
ready passed their peak season. Rasp
berries and some other fruits will
soon be available, Miss McPheeters
said, Urging constant home canning
or freezing of foods in season to
build up a family larder.
Pick the best varieties for freezing,
she said, to keep top quality in the
frozen foods Most varieties of fruits
and vegetables that are tasty at the
liable are good for canning Peas that
provide the best flavor after being
frozen include Thomas Laxton, both
light aud dark-podded, Laxton's Pro-
gress and Glacier varieties.
Freezing of foods saves time and
work as compared to Gaming, she
advised, for those who have food
lockers or freezer units. Greatest
saving in freezer foods as compared
to canning, is in reduced work of
cleaning and handling equipment,
and in handling foods in hot room
with much boiling water or steam
processing.
Miss McPheeters advised home
owners to check on the storage area
for canned goods, which should be
kept cool and away from the ligLt for
best keeping and for holding the
food value of the preserved products.
Home owners who have an old freez-
er unit should have extra motor belts
and repair service available, and
plans fer use of dry ice and tempar-
airy insulation handy in case of power
or motor failure that might endanger
large quantities of stored food.

Dissent And Discomfort

The newspapers in Washington
and other Eastern cities are filled
with reports from the Middle West
showing discomfort with nearly every
thing that goes on in Washington
About the same thing can be said
about conditions in the South Near
ly every section of tie United States
is expressing its views and opinions
upon what will happen" in the forth
coming Fall elections, and how that
will affect conditions in 194S when
the Republican and Democratic par
ties engage in the great battle to win
the election. At the present time
most of the speculation has been
concerned over the candidate for
President. More particularly, how
will the farmers vote; what will be
the strength of the labor unions;
how much influence will small bust
ness develop; and how will small
business people couple up with big
industry and institutions?
In Washington the Republicans
will tell you that they are sure that
they can win control of the House of
Representative in the coming cleo
ton. But at the same time the Dem
ocrats insist that they are stronger
than ever in TIE South, and that la
Dor unions are with them. Democrats
insist they are going to develop
strength enough to put Truman over
for another term.
That's the way the things look in
Washington at time when we are
heading towards another Fourth of
July-the day when everybody en-
joys TIE noise of big fire-crackers.

Yes, We Can Grow Cotton

Mill consumption of cotton last
month totaled $4,000 bales, which
was way ahead of the preceding
month. and also May, 1915. The Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
admits that the increase in produc-
ton and consumption of cotton now
exceeds Government expectations.
Cotton prices have advanced in re-
cent weeks and the demand is strong.
But there are Interruptions such as
railroad strikes, weather conditions,
price control and Fiddle Sticks.

THE BLEEDING HEART OF
DEMOCRACY

Washington, d. c., June 24-In a
recent statement brought to the at
tention of Civic Associations of the
National Capital, l reminded my
neighbors that Liberal self govern
ment was well established in the
District when it became the Capt.
tai in 1900, and suffrage was contin-
ued in the territory for nearly rs
years" In defiance of the Declaration
of Independence and every line in the
constitution Congress kicked II e Dis
trict out of the Union. Abraham Lin
coin was assassinated a few years be-
fore.
There has been no form OF self
government in the District since
1874.
alsu directed TIE statement to
Senators and Representatives re-
sponsible for continuing this outrage
against The People, and served no.
tice on them that ITS TIME CON-
GRESS QUIT PUSHING US
AROUND" In rather lengthy COM
munication l mentioned the sad fact
that "even Washington newspapers
close their columns to protests
against meaningless Congressional
alibis" that pretend to be "constitu-
tional amendments.
A prominent local citizen writes
Dear Mr.. Jones: My hat is off to the
man who is addicted to utterance of
truth end common sense. Your state
ments cover both angles: Congress,
and rightly so, has been blistered for
it's attitude on local suffrage. But the
residents or squatters of the military
reservation also need some fire wa
ter sprayed on them. Build the fire
under the pot that has not even sim
mered

PAPERS who print this Letter of

understanding of tkis question of

class OF newsmen. You have helped
the cause. Your Seniors and Repre-
sentatives are the only officials that

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Two hundred and twenty years
ago, a 31-year -old Frenchman land
ed in England. When people asked
him his name, he told them it was
Voltaire.
The name Of Voltaire had been
adopted. At birth this Frenchman
was called Francis Arouet. He was
a writer, and several of his plays
had been put on the stage in Paris.
People said that his writing was
clever. Besides his plays, he had
written poems and essays.
A man in high Office in France
had read printed words which made
fun of him. Arouet was said to
have been the author, and for this
reason was cast into the Bastille
That prison term lasted II months.
After being set free, he changed
his name to Voltaire. Several years
later, he fell into trouble again.
Having made sport of a noble who
had insulted him, he was set upon
and beaten by the mobiles servants,
and was thrown into prison again.
This time, upon being let out,
Voltaire was sent to England as an
exile. He found the country charm
ing. Most of all he liked the free
spirit among the English.
After three years in England, Vol
taire was allowed to return to Paris

Voice, a somewhat heavy baritone.
The voice has good forward place
ment, but, paradoxically. it is not
an expressive voice, despite its color
and resonance. 1t is not exactly a
monotone, but verges upon it.
Enunciation, good as laymen go.
Style, Midwestern, or, as it is
sometimes called, standard Ameri-
can, as distinguished from New
England speech and Southern
speech. Bowles' manner of speak
ing is decidedly Unconditional. In
debate. he is unruffled and matter
of-fact.
Pronunciation, careless, rather
than accurate. That is to say. there
is tendency to slur syllables. or to
omit them altogether. as in saying
"gen-uh-lee," for generally, and
rec -uh-nize," for recognize (the
"g'' should be clearly sounded, as:
REK-ug -nize).
