i CATTON'S COMMENT |
8.. BV BRUBE CATION T
It is a very hot day in the spot where this article
is being written. The thermometer gtands at 92
outside and it is going to go higher pretty soon.
There isn’t any wind. and if there were it would be
a hot one. Llke everyone else who is at work, the
writer feels warm and uncomfortable.
All of this is put down, not in the belief that the
general , 1s especially interested in working
conditions in newspaper offices, but because it some
how is a gentle reminder that our congressmen andl
senators are also suffering from the heat.
Washington dispatches are full of sad details about
the weather in the capital., We read that congres
sional nerves and tempers are getting all warped
out of shape wita the heat, that a senatorial medical
expert is shaking his head sadly over the possible
results, and that Congress as a whole wants to wind
everything up quickly and get home. |
It is easy to sympathize with anyone who is too
warm. And yet it is no more than fair to rise and
remark that congressmen are not the only people
in that predicament these days. §
After all. the capitol building is nicely air cooled.
Congressmen may have been working steadily ever
since January—but what of 1t? Joe Doakes, back
home, has been working stgadily ever since the fall
of 1921—and he hasn’'t had a spaclous, air-cooled
chamber to work in either, nor does he drag down
any SIO,OOO a year for his pains.
The kitchen of a big bakery is not a cool place
these days; neither is a railroad roundhouse, nor a
gasoline filling station on a sun-baked corner. nor
the operator's corner of a steam shovel, nor the
space behind the counter in a 5-and-10, nor a hundred
other places where the constituents of congressmen
earn their daily bread.
Congress may find Washington hot. So do all
the rest of us find the places wWhere we work. 1t
would be nice if we could suddenly vote ourselves a
vacation, to run until the first of January; but we
can't do it, and it is a little bit hard to work up
very much sympathy over the plight of the legisla
tors.
To put it more concisely, these wails about the
sufferings of Congress are a pain in the neck. Our
solons aren’t suffering from the heat half as much
as the rest of ug are, As a matter of fact, they
have it pretty soft.
And so. if they have work to do—as apparently,
they have—it would be a fine thing if they would
buckle down and do it, without quite so much self
pity. Canpared with the overwhelming majority of
their constituents, congressmen lead a pretty easy
life. »
It seems that there ig going to be a war between
Italy and Abyssinia; and ong of the surest symptoms
is the appearance of the first crop of atrocity stories.
A communique issued by the Italian Ministry of
Propaganda announces that Ethiopian tribesmen
have been mutilating defenseless children and at
tacking innocent natives along the borders. Ethi
opian raiding parties, it is said, have crossed the
borders, carrying people off to slavery and commit
ting divers shocking attrocities,
It all has a familiar ring. somehow; and the thing
for the American reader to remember is that such
stories, coming at a time like this, meang absolutely
nothing. The most exhaustive investigations after
the World War showed that the overwelming ma
jority of artocity stories were made up out of whole
cloth.
Wherever such stories come from—Ethiopia. China,
Manchuria or elsewhere—the sensible reader will
take them with a large double handful of salt.
Supreme Court Justice Salvatore A. Cotillo of New
York said no more than the vast majority of his
fellow citizeng were already thinking when he un
burdened himself recently of those scathing com
ments on the ways In which rich Americans rush
into marriages with titled Fauropeans.
Such alliances, said the judge, “arg fraught with
peril and almost invariably end with disaster.”
He made this comment after hearing an annul
ment case in which it was shown that a young Euro
pean countess was sent over here to “get her man”
in any way she could, and that a vast deal of de
ception was practiced to gain the end. There is
nothing unusual about this. American title hunters
are mostly suckers—and, in the long run. they us;
ually get just what the sucker always gets.
The government's project for a great “shelter belt'
of trees across the western plains attracted a good
deal of attention when it was first announced. Since
then little has been heard of it. It develops. how
ever, but the work has been going forward steadily
and that a good deal has been accomplished.
This spring, for instance, some 200,000,000 trees
were planted in 50 counties along the thousand mileg
of the projected route. The season's planting exceeds
the area planted in the plains region in the entire
preceding decade.
Just how much this shelter belt will actually do
to check drouth and wind erosion remaing to be
seen. At the very least, however, we seem to be
acquiring a huge new stand of trees. Solely from
the standpoint of increasing our forest acreage, the
project would seem to be worthwhile. &
. Effective August 1, England will raise the tax on
vehicles powered by Diesel engines to the same level]
as that levied against gasoline-driven vehicles.
The German state of Prussia will subsidize service
stations that dispense fuel to automotive vehicles

REPUBLICANS CONSIDERING NICE
Adrift like a ship without a rudder, the
Republican leaders have been at sea for
months hoping that a tide may come in
and land them some one’ they can agree
upon as a candidate for the nomination for
president in 1936. The latest hope of thesé
leaders seem to be Governor Nice, of
Maryland. Governor Nice wrenched from
the Democrats of Maryland the governor
ship, defeating Governor Richie, DemOcrat,l
who had held the office for more than a:
decade. The defeat of Governor Richie wasi
the only major victory scored by the Re
publicans in the disastrous election inl
1932.
| For the past several days, Governor Nice
has been touring the west, making stops
and detouring to towns and hamlets in
California. Evidently, the Republicans
will make a bold stand for the electorial
vote in that state next year. From Cali
fornia, the Maryland governor will em
bark upon a voyage, via bus lines, for New
York, where he will hold conferences with
leading Republicans of the east before re
turning to his home state.
The defeat of Governor Richie in 1932
came as a surprise not only to Democrats of
that state, but the eiection of Governor
Nice was a greater surprise to the Repub
licans. His nomination and candidacy was
purely a formal affair—just to keep the
party before the public. However, his
election to the governorship has placed
him in an’ advantageous position for the
Republican nomination for the presidency
next year. Regardless of Governor Nice
or any other Republican, the Democrats of
this nation will elect a Democrat by as
large, if not larger popular and electorial
vote than were given to President Roose
velt in 1932. 5
AIR-CONDITIONED AUTOMOBILES -
The latest equipment to be added to
the automobile is an air-condition unit
which has grown popular with passengers
on the railroads and especially -in the
homes. This new discovery has grown be
yond the fad stage and it is now classed
along with other necessities for comf.it
and convenience,
It is true that it would be necessary for
the windows to be tightly closed which, noi
doubt, would seem unnatural on a sultry
day, but in reality such units, like the ra
dio, can be successfully operated to the
catisfaction of motorists. It has been ask
ed if the escaping gases would not be
dangerous to passengers so inclosed. It
has been demonstrated by the engineers
’and chemists that an efficient nontoxic
substance will purify the air and elemi
nate any properties that may arise dang
erous to health,
The many new inventions that are com
ing into general use is convincing that air
conditioned deviceg, deriving power direct
ly or indirectly from the main shaft of the
engine can be controlled and utilized not
only safely, but they add to the comfort
of those housed in the automobile.
THE LAME DUCK AMENDMENT
The lame duck amendment to the Con
stitution will take from the President of
the United States several weeks from his
term. President Roosvelt was inaugurated
on March 4, 1933. His term of office will
expire on January 20, 1937. Likewise con
gressmen and senators will loose in pro
portion. The same law provides that those
officers shall take office on January 3 in
stead of March 4. In 1937, congress will
convene on January 3, while the President
will not be inaugurated until January 20,
a difference of 17 days. o
After 1937, however, presidents, con
gressmen and senators will serve full four
year terms. No congressman or senator
defeated in the November elections will
serve in the new congress convening the
following year. The lame duck law elimi
nates defeated candidates from serving
several months in the following year as
heretofore.
NEW FRACTIONAL COINS
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Mor
genthau, Jr., has prepared a bill provid
ing for the coinage of half-penny and one
mill coins. Congress will be asked to en
act the measure into law hefore adjourn
ment this year. The proposed mill coin
will be the smallest in value of any de
nomination of money ever issued in this
country. It is said that in China, India
and in some of the more primitive areas of
the world coins of similar value are to be
found.’ |
The half cent penny will be no innova
tion in this country. Such coins were reg
ularly mint.d from the early days of the
United States up to 1857. Half penny
coins are rare and very valuable and few
are in existence at the present time. For
various reasons the government abandon
ed minting these coins, but since postage
rates, taxes and other usages call for
¢hapge in very small denominations, the
Secretary of the Treasury has deemed it
wise and advisable to have placed in cir
culation the proposed coins.
It was the purpose of the Treasury of
the United States to find a way for the
states to coin their own fractional cur:
rency, but on investigation it was found‘
that such issues would be unconstitutional
as only the federal government was au-|
thorized to coin or print money. I
Compulsory aviation training for almost
5,000,000 young Russians for the current

less than 30 hours’ study of aircraft en
gines, marksmanship training, and in
some cases, aircraft and glider piloting.
More than 100,000 miles of territory
was explored from the air by Admiral
Byrd’s last Antarctic expedition.
_Ther are about three planes to every
airport in the United States at present.

BEGIN HERE TODAY
JO DARIEN, finishing her
first year in college, learns her
father is out of work. Jo
hunts a job and secures part
time work in a marine supply
store. There she meets weal
thy, handsome DOUGLAS
MARSH who offers her the
job of hostess at his inn at
Crest Lake. Jo accepts. This
causes a quarrel with BRET
PAUL to whom she,is engaged
and Jo breaks the engage
ment.
She goes to Crest Lake.
Her duties are pleasant but
Marsh’s eccentric mother takes
a dislike to the girls. BABS
MONTGOMERY, a school ac
quaintance who is jealous of
Jo’s popularity, comes to the
inn. PETER FRAGONET,
film actor, and his wife are
also guests.
Fragonet takes Jo out in a
sailboat. There is an accident
and she narrowly escapes
drowning. Next day Fragonet
comes to see her. He tells Jo
he loves her and takes her in
his arms. MRS. FRAGONET
and MRS. MARSH witness this
scene and accuse Jo of en
couraging Fragonet’s atten
tions,
Jo,r determined to explain,
tries to walk down the hall
and faints. Mrs. Marsh tells
Douglas he must send Jo
away.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVIII
Marsh said, “I can’t believe that
sort of nonsense where Jq Darien
is concerned and besides—"
“Perhaps, if you won’t believe
your own mother, you’ll believe
Edna Fragonet.”
Marsh put his hands on the old
lady’s militant shoulders. “Easy
now, mother. I know how you are
when you get going—and I don’t
doubt that something’s gone amiss.
In fact, I've been expecting it. I
know Pete Fragonet better than
you, but I thought that just pos
sibly he might have some sense
in this case.”
“Douglas”, replied Mrs. Marsh
coldly, “if you're trying to tell me
that this is just a harmless affair
please save your breath. It means
that BEdna Fragonet is going to di
vorce her husband.”
“Let me talk to Pete about this,
and then—" .
“Talk to whomever you please,
but I insist that this Darien wom
an leave here this afternoon.”
“But, Mother, the girl's ill! She
couldn’t leave this afternoon even
if'T wished to send her away.”
“She wasn’'t toe ill to be making
love to Peter Fragonet. I've sent
the nurse away.”
| At this news Marsh's lips com
pressed in a thin line and his face
colored with anger. He left his
mother standing on the veranda
and rushed into the lobby, pausing
at the desk long enough to in
struct Preston that Miss Conley
as to return to Jo Darien's room
at once.
As he hurried upstairs he some
how felt that Jo was in grave
trouble, but he was unprepared to
find her unconscious before the
open door of her room. Rushing
toward the inert figure, he called
out her name frantiecally. Then,
taking her up in his arms, he car
ried her to her bhed.
The sudden movement and
Marsh's voice brought Jo to con
sciousness, and as her eyelids
fluttered open she heard him say
ing over and over again, “Thank
God! . . . Thank Goad!” |
Hle was giving her a drink ofi
water when Miss Comley appeared
anxiously in the doorway.
Making Confetti for the Next War Celebration
Marsh nodded impatiently. “I
know. She didn't understand the
girl’s condition. I'm afraid we'd
better have Seavers at once.”
“Let me see . . .” Miss Conley
stepped forward confidently, “What
happened?”’
“She evidently tried to get out
of the room, and collapsed in the
hall. Must have been out of her
head.”
Jo opened her eyes again, shook
her head weakly back and forth
on the pillow. ‘l'm afraid . . .
I'm all right.'l wasn’t- out of my
head. I . . . I just wanted to talk
to someone who—"
“We know all about it, Jo. And
don’'t you worry. I've fixed ev
erything.”
“About Fragonet, and—"
Marsh nodded. “Kverything.”
He stood up and turned to the
nurse. “Should I telephone Sea
vers?”?
“It me watch her closely for
an hour or so. I hardly think
we'll need to call Doctor Seavers
—but this may mean she'll have
to stay in bed longer than we
planned.”
| “Be sure to let me know if the
| slightest thing seems wrong)Y
le'sh said. “And, remember,
you're not to leave her. I—l think
jit would simplify matters if you
i remember that I'm the only one
Eto give orders to the employes
here.”
When Marsh had left Jo's rooms
he returned to the lobby and to
Preston.
“If Fragonet is in his room will
{ you please tell him P& like to see
i him down at the boat house?”
The clerk nodded. “He's in his
lroom, sir. I'll deliver the mes
| sage.”
Marsh strode down toward the
boat house, went through two cig
arets at a furious pace before the
lank frame of Fragonet appeared
along the board walk. The actor’s
eves seemed strained and tired,
and he looked at Marsh as if to
|ay,
“All right, Old Man, let me have
%"
i Marsh returned his gaze specu
| Jatively. “Apparently you've raised
sione devil of a mess, Pete”
' “Apparently. I've a way of do
ling that. I do want to say I'm
'imight,v sorry, Douglas. But the
|real apologies =should go to Jo
| Darien. My wife built a fire un
der the poor kid—and your mother
tadded some fuel of her own. All
my fault of course.”
“But that doesn't straighten it
out,” Marsh said.
'{ “What do you mean?”
} “I mean that you can't make
| these things happen and they say
Iyou’re sorry, Pete. There's more
to it than that. I—" Marsh hesi
stated. ,lit another cigaret before
the went on. “I feel more or less
| responsible for Jo Darien, you
know. She didn’'t want to come
ldown here in the first place, but
T saw she was in a tough spot and
I thought it would be a good
thing all around.”
' Fragonet was silent a moment.
Then: “If you're warning me to
{keep off in the future, I'm afraid
vou’ve the wrong slant on this
whole thing, Doug. Tl'm serious.
I'm divorcing Edna—or she’s di- |
vorcing me —it doesn't matter
which. really.” The actor turned
{suddenly to Marsh. “Tl'm really in
{love with Jo. I want to marry
lher."
| 1 see . . .” replied Marsh slow
[ly. “And what does Jo think?’
| “She hasn’t had time to think.
| She—she doesn’'t know whether
she loves me or not, and—" l
Marsh interrupted him with a
ticht laugh. “I should think she
icould tell if she did, Pete. TLove
lisn't much a subtle emotion, you
é;m‘(ma’ i -’.' £ cal j_; ,”ww’
oAI il. LELS . 3 sh
love me then. Worse than that,
she wont give herself a chance—
because of Edna. I'm going to di
vorce Edna, and then I'll wait.”
“A bit tough on Edna, isn’t it?”
asked Marsh,
“Why is it?” Fragonet burst out.
“She doesn’t love me. For years
she’s been like a—a cold shadow,
just following me, watching me.
She's not jealous because she loves
me, but because she doesn’t want
anybody *‘o have even a part of
Fragonet, the picture star. It's not
because she loves me that she
doesn’'t want me to have other
women — it's just because she
couldn’t stand to have they saying
that shé didn’'t own me altogeth
er.” The actor paused, looked side
wise at Marsh. “So you see, it
isn’t really Jo who's causing a
split-up between Edna and me.
That’'s been in the cards for a long
time, Doug. But if I hadn’t fallen
in love with Jo I might have let
it run on indefinitely. After all, a
divorce is bad publicity for a
movie star nowadays.”
Marsh did not reply for a long
time. Finally he took a step
closer to Fragonet and gazed
straight into his eyes. ‘“Look here
Pete . . Tl'd like you to be aw
fully sure that you feel straight
about Jo. We've been friends long
enough so that I can say what I
think, haven't we?”?
Fragonet smiled. “I hope so.”
“Jo Darien’s about 19, Pete . . .
and you’ll never see 40 again. In
pictures you're 28—but that does
n’t hide the fact that you're more
than 20 years older than Jo. A lot
of water’'s gone under your bridge,
Pete—and this girl has a lot be
fore her yet” Marsh’'s ton e
changed suddenly to a bitter seri
ousness. “If you messed things up
for her, Pete, 1 think I could poi
son you without a qualm.”
Fragonet's half-amused, half
quizzical gaze changed into one of
astonishment. “Look here, I be
lieve you—are you in love with
her?”
“Don’t be any more of an idiot
than you have to be,” said Doug
las Marsh shortly. “I feel respon
sible for her here, that’s all. To
day you caused a row that can
have all sorts of implications—
and besides that, she tried to fol
low either you or your wife and
fell unconscious in the hallway.”
“Good Lord!” Fragonet exclaim
ed “Is that true?’ He turned
toward the Inn, but Marsh reach
ed forward and held his arm.
“Don’'t you think you've caused
her enough trouble just now?”
. T
“My suggestion is that you don't
see her again at all until she’s able
to be up and around,” Marsh said.
Fragonet's eyes clouded with
doubt, with something akin to
suspicion. v
“Does that go for you, too?” he
asked.
Marsh laughed, but there was
little of the laughter reflected in
his eyes. “Of course,” he answer
ed. “I'm quite sure that Miss Con
ley can give her all the care she
needs!”

Tifton, Moultrie and Valdosta Again Vie
For Honors as Tobacco Markets Qpe,
By GRADY ADAMS
MOULTRIE, Ga.— (£) —With
five warehouses having a total
floor space of 182,500 square feet—
enough to accommodate more than
2,000,000 pounds at one time—the
Moultrie tobacco market has set
its goal at 10,000,000 pounds of
leaf during the season opening
August 1.
Colquitt county’s crop, the ma
jor portion of which is in the
barns anda being graded for mar
ket. is estimated at 4,500,000
pounds. There are 5500 acres—in
round numbers—in tobacco in the
county.
The Moultrie market always
draws heavily from nearby coun
ties and also sells a great deal of
tobacco produced in upper Flori
da. In fact, the first load of to
bacco recieved here this season
came from Quincey, Fla.
Tifton and Valdosta are known
in Georgia as old markets, while
Moultrie was one of the some
eight or ten markets opened in
the state in 1925. Since 1929,
however, this point has ranked
among the largest tobacco mar
kets in the state.
Last season it was second in
poundage, Tifton leading, and
Valdosta third.
The fight for first plcae is again
a three-cornered affair, with
Moultrie and Valdosta both fight

NEVER TOO LATE
It may be a little bit late, but
the many friends of J. H. Mealor,
“Mr Henry” to a large circle of
friends, will be interested to know
that he celebrated his 80th birth
day on July 8. For well over a
score of years he was a familiar
figure in the city marshal's office
at City Hall. “Mr. Henry” was|
the gentle, white-haired man who‘
came around to collect your city
taxecs when they were overdue.
And he always managed to extract
back taxes with a smile, both from
himself and the back-taxer, 80
friendly was his nature. And so
this column wishes to join with‘
hundreds of friends in saYlngl
“Many more happy birthdays to]
you, Mr. Henry.” |
KEEP OF BOX
The firemen at station No. 1
have gone in for flower raising in
|a “separate” way. [
Each fireman has a “private”
flower box, in which he is raising
a nice crop of pretty blossoms.
These bhoxes are lined up along
[the sidd of the entrance to the
'station, and are thirteen in num
‘ber.
| On the boxes, which are green,|
is painted the name of the fireman
[who planted and is raising the|
jsm.all wooden garden. So it is|,
easy to tell just what man plant- |
ed which box. R ‘
