| CATTON'S COMMENT |
BY BRUCE CATTQON
By-product of the recent confeérence under Henry
Ford’s wing at Deaborn, Michigan, betweeén farm
ing and industry, comes a “Deglaration of Depend
ence on the Soil and of the Right of Self-Mainten
ance.”
This is an illuminated scroll, elaborate in form,
and paraphrased from the Declaration of Independ
ence. It restates the principle that all man’s basic
sustenance comes from the soil, to which he must’
return again to regain self-maintenance, or indeed,
self-government. And it restates also the familiar
Ford thesis that chemistry and industry must 10-I
gether discover ways of using more farm psoducts
(i.e., corn into motor fuel, and soy beans into steer
ing wheels). i '
All agricultural experts agree that it will be a
jong time before industry will be able directly to
absorb enough farm products to make a dent in
the surpluses that have been an increasing menace
since the foreign market began to disappear, The
“declaration” itself implies this when it says “it is
a plan which must develop in persistent and or
derly fashion over a span of years. Therein lies itsl
strength.”
It may be five, ten, twenty, years, before chem
istry has taught industry how to use enough farm
products to make up to the farmer his lost markets
abroad. J
Which is just why there is no real conflict be-!
tween ‘the Ford “Chemurgic” movement and the
government’s AAA program. The AAA recognizes
that # is am emergency affair, reducing surpluses
temporarily to protect the grower from a fali to
starvation prices.
If and when Ford’s “Chemurgists” devise means
of usifg st quantities of fargi products in direct
sale to industry, then AAA should, according to its}
theory, be the first to cheer and remove such acre
age restrictions as still remains. |
A beginning already has been made, The acre
age Of soy beans in Michiagn, Ohio, and Indiana,
.has FroWn} amazingly during the past few 'vears.
wAnd ' you c}hfi'l get ‘awdy from this: every acre de
“voted to soy beans in those states is just one less
~fgq devoted to wheat, corn, and cotton, of which
_-therd is too much. Well, let's not argue about that;
retet's say, of which there is more than can be sold
~at a reasonable price.
4 These acreages, and the ones going into tung
Ztrees in Louisiana, are smal &y yet. They make no
:_fim in agricultural surpluses. But they may, some
c-day.
4« dThe Dearborn Declaration of Dependence prob
::t- y never wil' rank with that other Declaration of
. Independence signed so long ago at Philadelphia.
Ut it may be highly important as the years pass
“@nd the farmer, as well as other classes of people,
faces the changes of the future:
NRA officially is gone, yet business indices fail
to show any boom in industrial production, or any
‘slimp.
. For_months the cry against ‘“regimentation” of
) mfi-a went up, its volume increasing.
'L;?{%:nfi the Supreme court has lifted that “regimen
tation:” Some. at least, of the business fears of the
community have been dissipated. iy
Close watch should be kept on business activity,
employment, prices, for the next few months. Price
cutting has not yet increased sales volume 'enough
to create more jobs in manufacturing. Commodity
prices failed to drop as much as was feared.
But these few months are the opportunity of
those who have cried for ‘“less interference.” On
the business activity, pfice, wage, and employment|
charts for the next few months will be written a
reccr@ of what business can do unhampered by
NRA. And en that record may depend much of the
future policy of government in business.
One of the most hopeful signs of recent months
is the word that college graduates are having less
trouble getting jobs this spring than for several
years. s
Almost every college reports more jobs available
for graduates, and several have actually had more
, requests than they had graduates. ~
Any man who wants work and can’t get it is a
walking tragedy. But there has been an added touch
of tragedy during the past five years in the ambi
tious, youths who sacrificed and worked, whose par
ents sacrificed and worked, to put them through
college, especially preparing them to work—only to
find that there was no work. The waste of this pro
cedure has been too awful to contemplate.
Now the reports on this June's graduates seem
to indicate that at last we are coming to our senses,
eliminating this waste, and offering hope to the
most highly trained, mest ambitious of our young
men and women.
Also, somebody had the .jobs to offer. And that's
hopeful. too.
Attorney General Homer S. Cummings says that
government may be obliged presently to prose
te business concerns which continue price fixing
der unofficial codes of fair competition.
% This seems to bring us up againsy one of the
Quecrest and dizziest headaches that has afflicted
Wasbington and the business community in some
time.

BUILDING ON A BOOM
Building in the southern states has
shown a remarkable growth during the
first part of this year. During the month
lof April, engineering and construction
work amounted to $33,000,000, bringing
Ithe total of new construction in the first
| four months of 1935 to $143,000,000. The
April awards showed a gain of over $4,-
000,000 compared with March. Of course
some of this increase was brought about by
| greater activity in private building.
’ Increase in residential building is quite
noticeable. In April the aggregate amount
ed to $2,882,000 compared with the March
total of $2,332,000 bringing the tota]l for
the four months up to $10,951,000. No
new projects costing” less than SIO,OOO were
included in the figurds set up in the above
estimate. '
There has been more home building in
the south during this year than any other
section of the country. Our people appear
to have awakened to the importance of
owning their homes and through the vari
ous agencies for building homes, the peo
p]f? otf the south have shown a marked in
terest.
'WASHINGTON MECCA FOR BUSINESS
‘ Never in the history of Washington has
‘there been an influx of people equal to the
‘trek experienced during the present year.
'The session of congress has had something
to do with the increased number of visi
tors, of course, but many other attractions
have contributed largely to the prosperity
of the seat of the government,
The Shriners convention carried several
thousand people to that city, all of
whom were liberal spenders. The hotels,
cases, restaurants and boarding houses
have enjoyed an unusually large patron
age. Last year, it is estimated there were
2,400,000 vigitors and tourists in the city.
This was considered the largest number of
visitors entertained in that city at any time
during its history, but this year the Smith
sonian Institution estimates that the num
ber of visitors will easily reach 3,000,000
and possibly exceed that mark. ' , '
The bank clearings show a large in
crease and the retail trade has broke all
records. However, the change in condi
tions are not confined to Washington, but
in many other sections of the country, im
provement ig noted. In fact, the period of
depression has about spent its course and
an early return of prosperity' may be ex
pected.
HANGING OR ELECTROCUTION
; FOR WOMEN
Quite recently several women have paid
the toll of their c¢rimes either by hinging
or electrocution. In Delaware a woman
was hanged last week; another women is
to be electrocuted on June 27, in New
York, unless the governor of that state in
tervenes; in California another woman has
been sentenced to death penalty, but her
sentence is being held up pending an ap
peal to the governor. While it is a horri
ble thing for a woman to be hanged or
electrocuted, yet times and customs have
changed in some of the states, and the
‘death of a woman for a crime committed
is not uncommon,
~ We do not recall any incident of a
‘woman having been hung in Georgia. Some
have committed murder, it is true, but usu
lally life sentences or lesser terms of servi
tude are imposed. However, women are en
tering into crime of all kinds, murder, rob
ring, holding up people and even burglary.
Such criminals should be suppressed and
dealt with in a firm manner, but death
penalties by electrocution should be avoid
ed for women.
. However, the day is not far distant, we
believe, when women will be placed on the
same footing with the men and when they
commit crime, tried and convicted on the
charges, the juries and the courts will deal
with them on the same basis as they do
in the cdses of men. ;
CAMPING SEASON IS HERE :
At this season of the year, the roadsides
and the forests are popular resorts for
campers. More so than ever since the au
tomobile has come into general use. A
generation ago, camping was occasional,
and only in cases of necessity where sick
ness or business demanded travel.
But now camping is the most popular
mode of entertainment for the vacation;
period. People load up their ears and pre
pare for eating and sleeping in the great
open where fresh air and water are plen
tiful. One of the great drawbacks to camp
life is the destruction of the forest caused
from tarelessness on the part of campers.‘
Fires are allowed to remain over day, and,
too often, the fire spreads to the forest andl
thousands of dollars worth of timberland
are destroyed. : : |
There is scarcely a week tHat passes, but
that campers in some sections of the statel
find themselves responsible for wild fires.l
The damage in such cases usually runs into
figures of large proportions, yet our people
appear to forget or to care for the losses
under such circumstances. If yo? expect
to spend your vacation on a ¢amping tour,
bear in mind the importance and the ne
cessity for proteeting the forests from fires
of a damaging character.

ael Heatheroe, owner of a rid
ing school. Katharine's father
is rich and her stepmother a
snob.
Zoe Parker, Katharine's friend
has an unhappy love affair_and
is saved from suicide by young
Dr. John Kaye. ]
Overheafing two detectives
ask for Michael's address, Kath
arine rushes to warn him, al
though she has not seen him
since his engagement to Sally
Moon, local coquette, has been
announced. g
Michael refuses to go away
unless Katharine comes with
him, They are married in an
obscure little town. Then Migh
ael insists on returning to face
the detectives. He learns he is
heir to a fortune and title in
Ireland. Milchael leaves at once
for New York to see the lawyer
handling the case. He is in
jured in'a traffic accident.
Katharine, frantic when she
does not hear from him next
day, tells Viclst Meiser, her
friend, that she thinks Michael
has run away. ?
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXXIX
Sally said furiously, “I don’t un
deyrstand it. I simply don't get it
at all!” She glared at the inoffen
sive Tips and at Clarence, stooped
and graying, in the background.
“You say he said he was going
to the city?” Sally demanded.
Clarence nodded. They had been
over the ground several times be
fore, but if the young lady wanted
to ask the same questions over and
over he had no choice but to answer
them,
“He say he goin’ to the cecity,”
Clarence elaborated, with a side
long roll of chocolate eyes in a
dark face. “He say fo' me to lock
up.”
“And that was day before yester
day?”
“Yes'm. In the evenin’ We ain’t
heard nothing from him since.”
Sally waved an afternooh news
paper in his eyes. “Have you seen
this?”
“No'm. Ain't seen nothin’’ Clar
ences eyes executed a sudden roll
of apprehension. “They aint nothin’
in it ’bout Mist’ Michael, is they?"
Sally laughed — an unpleasant
laugh, drawing back the corners of
her lips irom small predatory teeth.
“Read it” : % i
Tips bent over. "Pa can’t read,”
he said. “Lessen he has & magni
fying g]a% His eyes is bad.”
“What it say?” Clarence wante
ed to know. ;
Tips-bent over the newspaper,
reading slowly. “It says how Mister
Michael is a lord or something,” he
said slowly. “It says how his daddy
was-.a son of a lord in England er
Irelxa——(md now Mister Michael,
seems he comes into the business.”
“BExactly.” Sally Moon, with a
sound that was more like a snort
than the sarcastic laugh she had
intended, slipped down into the
shabby porch chatr. Over her link
ed, gloved hands she regarded the
two shabby men, :
“l 1 believe you two know more
about this than you pretend to,”
she said on a note of angry sus
picion. “T believe you perfectly well
know where Michael is”
“Ne'm.” Clarehce shook his
head. :
“Well, I'm going to. find out,”
Sally’ said swiffly. Before either
one of them could stop her she had
flung herself inside the door of
| Michael's house, ‘l'm going to
search his papers,” she said, “And

don't either of you interfere!”
She was ingide the room which
had ' served Michael as a bedroom
before either one could say a word.
Tips looked at his father, and the
older man looked back apprehen
sively.
“She aint got a bit o’ business
in there,”’ the .boy said humbly.
*How we goin’ to stop her?"
Clarence wanted to know,
Sally went through bureau draw
ers like a whirlwind. The neat,
plain; bare chamber did not afford
many hiding places. A bed, tidily
made up with a manded white spread
a common oak chest of drawers, a
wardrobe with one of the old-fash
ioned doors swinging wide — she
went through them all
There was little enough. There
wak pitifully little. A ‘handful of
old letters with the postmark of a
little town in a western state. A
thick, clumsy old gold watch. A
button box,
Sally riffled through the letters.
The stable boy came to the door
to stare at her.
“You go away, Tips,” she said

erossly. “Don’t you bother me,
This is my business.”
“Ain’t nobody got any right but
tin’ into Mister Michael's private
things,” he said stubbornly. But
he dared not interfere. After all,
she was the girl his employver had
been engaged to marry,
Clarence had shuffled out into the
kitchen. You could hear him rat
tling pots and pans and setting
i down the cgups with angry gusto.
| Sally paid no attention to all this.
She had come with a determina
tion to go through Michael’s belong
ings, to see if she could find any
clue to his disappearance. She
Iflounced into the living room after
a busy five minutes, a small bundle
lin her hand.
Tips watched her go, open
mouthed. His father came out of
the kitchen to ask him, “That her
car goin’ away?”’
“That is,” Tips sniffed, going into
Micheal's room and picking up a
cushion Sally had dropped-*in her
haste. “She sure made a mess of
this here place. She sure is a big
talking young lady, #iss Moon.”
“Her!” Clarence uttered contem
ptuously. “Ain’t mo Moons ever
going’ to come high-tonin’ me. 1
know ‘'em.”
“She taken away a lot of stuff
of Mist’ Michael's,” Tips offered
hesitantly. ‘“Letters snad such.”
. Clarence grinned, an old man’s
wide, sly grin, His lips were
stretched incongruously wide, “She
did, huh?”
“Yes, suh!” The stable boy was
emphatic. “Looks like Mijist Mich
agl run away from her while the
runnin’ was good. What you think
about it?” ¢ i
His father lifted his shoulders in
an eloquent shrug. “Boy, I ain't
mindin’ nobody’s business.”
“You think we better stay on a
while?' Tips said,
“Where'd we go, anyways?
Clarence demanded. “You talk
crazy, sonny-boy. Course we'ra
stayin’, And, case that girl comes
back her lookin' some more, we
goin’s to lock up this here place.”
He turned the kéy in the lock
and went back to his leisurely put
tering among the Kkettles, Tips
wandered out into the stableyard,
fed the horses and idly swept up
some scattered hay, In the Kkitch
en, behind the red checked curtainsg
an old man took out an official
looking paper and chuckled over it.
‘“‘Here’s somethin’ that big-talk
in’ young lady ain’t goin' to find,”
Clarence said to himself. “Cause I
got it first. An’ it's Mist’ Michael's
private business.”
' It was the marriage certificate of
[ Michael Heatheroe and Katharine
I Strykhurst, 1
! Sally rushed to hér room and
| opened the letters she had ‘found in
Michael’'s bureau. They were not
very interesting letters. There
were several notes from the bank
about the mortgage. There was a
bill of sale of a mare. There were
one or two brief and badly written,
| personal letters from a man in
| Montana—a man who signed him-
Ise]f quite simply “Bill,” Nothing
incriminating, nothing to point the
way Michael had gone.
BSally stood staring at the letters
in bafflement and anger. Her tem
perament = demanded that she ex
pend energy on someone. So she
dressed herself in plain dark silk
and boarded a train for the city.
The clipping about Michael's in
heritance lay in the smart dark blue
handbag,
She went straight to Mr. Down
rigg’s hotel and that gentleman
came down to the foyer to meet her.
He was a lean, elderly Englishman
with a stoop and a courteous, tired
voice. No, he hadn’t had any com
munication from Mr. Heatheroe as
vet, And that was odd because
Messrs. Malley and Gerhardt had
assured him Michael was easily to
be found. All his telephone calls
on the day before had been fruit
less. Mr, Heatheroe, the servants
said, was away and it was not
known when he ould return.
“Something’s happened then,”
Sally announced firmly. “Some
thing happened to Michael the
night he cameé” into New York.”
She saw it all now. She had been
stupid to be so frightened and an
gry. Of course Michael had been
hurt. He had no reason on earth
to run away on the eve of this
triumph,
Her manner softened perceptib
ly. She had met Mr. Downrigg with
an air of challenge, thinking he
knew something about the absent
Michael, thinking, perhaps, he had
aided and abetted him in his es
cape.
“You must help me,” she said,
her voice taking on its ceoing note,
“We must search the hostipals—the
morgues—"
“My dear young woman!” shud
dered Mr. Downrigg. “Surely you
don’t think—"
She was firm, but to show him
how deeply she was affected by the
thought of Michael injured or dead
she wept a little, quite prettily and
convincingly.
“We must,” she said. “We dare
not do otherwise. After all,” she
reminded him, with a liquid glance
