Advertise Greenfield

The best missionary of business is
advertising. No matter what is on sale,
OF what movement seeks favor, the
best results are obtained through ad-
vertising. 1t is the surest medium for
attracting public attention.
AS it happens, Wilmington has
to sell, something that has great poten-
tlal value but has been neglected on
the scale it has long deserved to be
promoted.
The reference is to Greenfield Park.
Fortunately the neglect is at last
realized and while late there is a def
mite decision among the leadership in
the city to overcome it.
One example of the determination to
do something to publicize Greenfield is
offered by a popular restaurant which
has printed special covers for its menus
on the back of which is an invitation to
visit the park.
ITO visitors and citizens alike, we
extend an urgent invitation to visit this
wonderland of colorful beauty during
the Towering season each spring -
or any season." says the menu cover.
Here you will see hundreds of thou
sands of azaleas and other Towering
shrubs and trees, mirrored in the placid
waters of a beautiful lake. against a
magnificent background of moss-draped
cypress which point their long gray
fingers to the sky. A visit to Greenfield
will cost you only the expenditure of an
enjoyable hours ramble. It's beauty is
yours for the taking"
This particular advertisement is Of
fered as a public service by the restau-
rant, will reach only the patrons who
dine there. But it certainly points the
way to other firms, who could not do
better than follow it's example - on
letter heads, envelopes, circulars and
other matter placed in the mails.
An active campaign now to spread
the word about Greenfield's attractive
ness would greatly assist in building up
public favor and patronage for the
Azalea Festival it is proposed to hold
in 1913.

Mr.. MacNamara says that in war

cold shoulder to workers over 40 was

AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS
~ Theory That Indians Came
From Asia

We Know very little about the
earliest inhabitants of North and
South America. 1t is generally be-
lieved that they came over from
Asia through Alaska.
The first European explorers in
North America found the continent
Inhabited by the race that we call
the American Indians. 1t was Co.
lumbus who described them as
Indians in the belief that he was
near the coast of south Asia. In
dians are not all alike but, on the
whole, they have certain physical
characteristics in common. Their
hair is straight and black; their
eyes are black; their cheekbones
are prominent; skin color ranges
from reddish brown to yellowish
brown. There are many individuals
Of the Monaghan race having these
same characteristics. So it is be-
lieved that the earliest Indians of
America were related to the Mon,
gol peoples Of Asia.
The outer corner of Alaska. at
Boring Strait, is only so miles from
the corner. of Siberia; and if the
early inhabitants of North and
South America came from eastern
Asia, this must have been where
the crossing was made.
Did the Indians come from Asia,
or did the Mongols 60 to Asia from
America? In different parts OF
Asia and of Europe there have
been found relics of very early
men. No relics of such antiquity
have been found in North or South
America. From this fact, as well
as from other bits of knowledge,
men who have studied the question
believe that the Indians came from
Asia, rather than the Mongols from
America.
When did they come? Biologists

Of Same Mind Still

It was a somewhat chastened John
l.. Lewis who appeared before the Sen
ate Labor Committee. Those who at
tended the session say that the mine
IN on's chief had lost some of his Gus
tomary arrogance. But from the tone
OF his testimony it is apparent that
whatever outward change he may have
undertone, his mind is as firmly fixed
on his right to dictate to the govern
ment as ever.
He accused the government of act
ing as the muscle man for the mine
operators, of using a blackjack to
beat the miners into submission, which
was tactlful error in that it encour-
ages the public to recall the times he
blackJacked the coal, steel and other
industries into submission, and would
have done SO again but that the gov
eminent hailed him into court wher
he proposed to abrogate the contract
made with the government long before
IT was due to expire and ordered {
mine strike which would have crippled
the nations whole economic structure
at a critical period. y

Cannot Ignore Greece

1t would not be fantastic to say that
the proposal to help Greece in the
present emergency is in fact a pro-
posal to save Britain.
s To accept this thesis, however, it is
necessary to think that among Rus
sia's most ambitious empiric dreams
is dissolution of the British Empire and
the absorption by Russia of Britain's
sphere of influence in the Mediterran-
can area and the Far East. AS indica-
tons of this it is possible to impute the
situation in Palestine in part at least
to Russian Indictment of the Arab
League, and Russia's obvious direction,
however well concealed, of the disturb
ance in Greece.
Granting, only for arguments sake,
that Russia is actually working to
overthrow war-impoverished Britain
for her own ends, it must be apparent
that, because of the interdependence
of Britain and the United States, this
government must relieve Greece's
troubled affairs if only to ease Britalns
shrinking influence and position among
leading powers.
Great Britain has its back to the
wall, politically, economically. The
labor government has muddled inter-
national and domestic affairs g%rievous-
ly. There is no place at home or in the
f%ar-flung possessions, London is in no
position to meet commitments made in
more prosperous days. In these clrcum-
stances Britain can turn to no power
save the United States for succor.
The immediate call is for aid to
Greece. TIE refuse now would lmperll,
not only Great Britain, and increase
the possibility Of Russia's greater con-
troll in Europe, but the security Of the
United States. Whatever amount of
money Or military equipment now need
ed to place Greece on firm ground
ought to be forthcoming by congress

The Book OF KNOWLEDGE

tell us that there were periods
when the northern part of the
northern hemisphere was entirely
covered with ice, which moved
southwark as glaciers. Such NOV.
ings of the ice occurred four times.
During the last period of cold, while
eastern North America was COM
pletely covered with ice, there
seems to have been a western strip
not covered that extended up into
Alaska. 1t may have been along
this route that the early Indians
came from Asia - during the last
glacial period.
Did the Indians live in isolation
in America up to the arrival OF
Columbus? We cannot answer ex-
actly, but there is evidence that
America was not entirely cut of
from the rest of the world.

What about contact across the

of land beyond the Straits of Gil

with tales of land. Was the land

of Africa which bulges far to the
west, or did the Greeks reach the
coast of Brazil or of Central Ameri-
ca? Some Of the Indians of Central
America had traditions of bearded

Recession Due Soon

Alone with frequent warnings of in
fJation there have been strong hints
of a period of recession, some of the
prophets declaring it may be expected
before this year ends.
If it should come and at the same
time fail to reach the proportions Of a
depression, it will prove a blessing and
not in disguise.
The Bureau of Agriculture Econom-
les forecasts that price recessicns may
be in store for the country by mid-year.
Thereafter, it reports, there will prob
ably be a decline of 5 to 10 per cent
in. industrial production from the peak
of the first half of 1947.
AS summarized by the Wall Street
Journal, the bureau sees:
Income payments to individuals may be
down 8 per cent to II per cent from the
high level achieved III the first halt OF this
year.
Slowing up of the rate of inventory &C
emulation by business, with stocks be-
coming excessive if sales drop appreciate
ly.
Leveling off or a decline in expenditures
by industry for new plants and equipment.
Shrinkage in savings accounts and a
further decline in the rate of savings,
particularly by the lower income groups.
A drop of Is per cent to 20 per cent in
wholesale food prices at the end of this
year as compared with December, 1916. A
fall in farm prices of as much as 20 per
cent by the end of the year.
For the most part these forecasts
are welcome. But one item is calculated
to give the economists plenty of worry.
The possibility of shrinkage in saw
ings accounts and further decline in
the rate of savings" particularly by
the lower income groups" cannot be
viewed with equinimity in any quarter.
It must lead to actual want in the long
And actual want, as well an infla-
ton, is at the root of depression. In
the last analysis, the savings of the
lower income group play an indispen-
sible part in the financial security Of
the country. Whatever can be done to
prevent their shrinkage below mean
financial-tide level is obviously neces-
sary in face of the Bureaus forecast.

Written for NEA Service

In proportion to its size. there is
probably more bridge played in
New Jersey than in any other
state. However, there are only
two life Masters in New Jersey,
one of whom is Samuel Katz Of
Millburn. He is a colorful little
spitfire. You can depend upon &C
ton when you kibitz KATE.
His theory On today's hand was
sound and one which can help to
improve your game. Katz says
that many players have mo
trumpitis' and are afraid to play
a contract in the right spot.
When he bid two diamonds on
this hand, he was informing North,
his partner, that he did not have
the spade suit stopped and there
fore he was showing his second
suit. When he bid three hearts
ever No-th's two no trump, he
definitely said, partner, I do not
want this hand to play at no
trump. My bid of three hearts
tells you that my hand is strong
enough for you to bid four dia-
'nonds. Please show your fret
erence between hearts and dia-
monds."
When North then bid three no
trump. Katz naturally assumed
that his partner had the spade suit
we'll stopped. A spade was opened
and North-South could take only
elgh. tricks. while at diamonds
they would have lost only a club
and a spade.
To back up his theory, Katz
further pointed out that when
North bid two clubs over one
heart, Katz would not have bid
diamonds if he could have
handled the spade suit himself.
