It is not the d of war or the business depression, the threat of Fascism or the menace of Communism. It is simply that old, tragic, and utterly baffling | thing unemployment. | we have taken itgtor granted ever since 1929 that a return to normal husiness productivity would auto matically end unemployment. But it is beginning to hecome evident now that this was too uptimistic.l Unemployment is revealing itself as a continuous affair, something that exists above and beyond th(-| denression and that will not be dispelled by a sim-I ple return to good times in trade. l Rodney Dutcher recently pointed out in a dispatch from Washington that a return to normajg husinossJ sctivity today would leave us with from six to eight million men who could not get jobs, Our productive machinery has simply grown SO efficient that it (-an‘ do its iob with fewer and fewer men. Under present conditions, there ig,no prospect that we can ever abolish unemployment. I'he thing to remember, right here, is that this is . nroblem which Tcuts across all party lines and all social and economic theories. It is & problem whii;h ould be acute under Socialism, Communism, r Fascism just as it now is acute under capitalism. rut in Washington any kind of administration you lik, and you would stil] face this unalterable fact— that wel can grow all the food we need, mine all the ore. make al] the steel and.machinery, run all the trains. and sell all the goods we need with several million fewer men than we have available to do all tl inhe It would be bad enough if this process of displace ment had ended. But it hasn't. That new mechani al cotton *picker, for instance, may one day con tribut, several hundred thousand more names to the list of the jobless. The pre-fabricated house idea may do the same thing for the building trades. Some other gadget, as yet locked in an inventor’s brain, is as likely as not to pop day after tomorrew to do the same thing in another line. he immediate moral to be drawn from all this that we shal] go on with thg dole for a long time to come If we are going to have a minimum of 6000000 unemployed, in good times and bad, it is {utile to dream of getting the government out of the elief business. But hevond that it is the fundamental problem of nding jobs., This marvelous increase in produc tivity ought to be the greatest blessing of the race; t present it is an unmitigated curse. The nation’s most, pressing need is to find the right answer to it. [, L. Doheny is dead, leaving behind him another :,‘ uresque chapter in the famdus American story, From Rags to Riches.” This man, who set out from Mg Wisconsin hom® upwards of G(l.years ago possess ¢d of nothing except energy and ambition, made ! elf one of the world's great masters of capital ind showed once more what can be done in Ameri e whose acquisitive instinct is properly de ¥l hl story is not one Americans will enjoy fading He will be remmbered because of the oil ‘ 1 He will have his place in the history 1t it won’t be the sort of place a sensitive o Id care to fill. ere used to be a saying, “The king can do no \ certain kind of American capitalist seems : that a rich man enjoys the same privilege.

Alimony for divorced husbands is as logical as alimony for divorced wives, “2. The world needs a new religion. I “3, It was within the power of the diplomats of 1900 to 1912 to prevent the World war. - I “4, Something more effective than our present brooms, mops and vacuum clean ers should be devised to clean our homes. “5. One-fifth of the public school bud get could well be spent in educating par-I ents to educate their children.” | To be a conservative, the following ques tions must be answered ‘‘yes’: “1. It is'bad for a married man to take another man’s wife to the movies. “2. Billy Sunday has done much to make religion a vital force in our lives. “3. Not all international disputes should be settled by arbitration. “4, Women in general are not as intelli gent as men. “5. College education is right in more ways than it is wrong.” While the foregoing questions may or may not be a safe criterion on which to base a proper testing method, yet it has proved successful after being tried on sev eral hundred college students throughout the country. Another feature of the test showed that men are more opposed to So cialism and Communism than are the women. All of which is interesting, to say the least. i IN JUSTICE TO INDIANS Notwithstanding the great injustice done to the Indians of this nation by the early settlers, the Congress of the United States has come to the rescue of the Meno-l minee Indians, in Wisconsin, by enacting legislation permitting them to sue the fed-! eral government for the recovery of lands and for compensation for timber that has been cut and sold by interlopers. These helpiess Americans were driven‘ from their native soils and hurdled in sec tions of the country believed to be worth less for the white man. However, it de veloped that the lands which the Indi ans were forced to accept as their home, turned out to be the most valuable of all gections rich in oil, timber and other re sources of great commercial value. Not satisfied with driving them to isolation, when the resources were discovered, such ‘was utilized by the white man and taken from the Indian. However, under the re cent law enacted by congress and ap 'proved by President Roosevelt, these un fortunate beings are given the right to go ’to the courts and sue for that which justly . belongs to them. ’ It is to be hoped that the Indian settlers will receive that which is due them and that hereafter, their rights will be consid ered and protected. The American people should realize the injustices heaped upon the Indians, and respect the laws that give to these people privileges that they are en titled to—nothing more—nothing less. Cer tainly justice should appertain in the deal ings by the federal government with a race that is powerless to protect and defend its rights. THOROUGH INVESTIGATION There should be a thorough investiga tion made of the cause and the responsi bility placed on those who failed to do their duty in not protecting the veterans and civilians from the tropical hurricanes that swept the Florida Keys carrying death and destruction in its wake. So far no one seems to know just where the neg ligencé lies—some criticize the weather bureau and others the department in Washington, but from newspaper reports, one is led to beliece that the weather bu reau did its full duty by having storm warnings posted long in advance and in sufficient time for the removal of the vet erans and civilians from the danger zone. These tropical hurricanes are heralded far in advance and with the proper action on the part of those responsible for protec ticn, such disasters could be avoided, at the least the damage to both property and life could be greatly reduced. While of ficials have been investigating, no definite information as to the true cause of the fail ure of those directly charged with the re sponsibility of protecting these people has heen given out or made public. However, these officials have recommended the fol lowing as a solution for protection in the future. G “1., The hurricane warning service should be improved. “2 (Consideration should be given to abandonment of the railroad to Key West and substitution of a ferry service. “3. Standards for building construction chould be improved *in some sections of Florida.” : ! The foregoing, appears to us as being purely camouflage for the protection of <ome one. The lives of approximately one thousand people were sacrificed on ac count of the carelessness of some one, That <some one should be found out and held re sponsible for failure of performing his duty.

Unable to pay her fare, she is put off the bus in the little town of Worth ville, just as a storm is break ing. Ruth seeks shelter in an old stone house with a blue door and faints from hunger just as PENNY, the old house keeper, openss the door. Ruth is carried upstairs by the old woman, assisted by JOHN McNEILL, from next door. The old woman mistakes Ruth for ELAINE CHALM ERS, whose grandfather built the house., Ruth lets her con tinue to think this. She is ashamed of her deception and resolves to slip away, but de cides to stay longer when Penny tells her the next day is her 75th birthday and pleads with Ruth to make “a long visit.,” ® Elaine Chalmers, meanwhile, at Graycastle College, vows in a sorority meeting to winm the love of her first sweetheart, John McNeill. She writes him a letter, telling him she plans a visit to Worthville, but fails to mail the letter, When Penny turns over to Ruth a box of lovely clothes, s-nt by the Chalmers family for a rummage sale, the girl resolves to wear them, “letting charity fall where it wi11.,” She has promised John to no for a ride with him that evening. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XII Ruth spent the day entertaining Penny. That is to say, she listen ed to fPenny and she talked to Penny, She was well rewarded. There was the knowledge that she had made the lonely, half blind old woman happy, and. there was the useful information she gleaned in regard to Elaine's family . Elaine's father, she learned from Penny's rambling tales, was an admirable young man who was killed in the World War. (Ruth thought, “At least Elaine Chal mers and 1 have that in common —our brave fathers whom we can't remember.”") Elaine’s mother, ‘Miss Gwen,” eventually married a second time. The man was an old suitor, Higate Deal, of Wall street fame, In gpeaking of Deal Penny hint ed dark things. “He’s ruinin’ your grandpa's railroad. Now that he's got hold of it they don‘t pay the stockholders around here like they used to. I hear reports—" She stopped, as if afraid she had said too much. Ruth, in turn, invented inter esting aecounts of Elaine's life in the east. “I was at a wonder ful house party last summer, Penny—" and she told glamorous details without a twinge of con science. She knew that she was feeding Penny’'s starved imagina tion and making her temporarily happy. What else was there to of fer for birthday diversion? “I won a swimming event at Newport, Penny!"” “At Saranac one time I was skiing and took an aw ful tumble. The yvoung man who picked me up afterward proposed to me, but mother and Mr. Dea! didn’'t approve, so nothing came of it” “Maybe he didn’'t have enough money,” remarked Penny with 4 faint snort. Any mention of Higate Deal seemed to throw her into a suppressed rage. Ruth led her to talk of “Grand father Hunter” the old railroad ‘king. “There was a man for you!” Penny declared. “Six-foot-two. ‘White hair piled on his head like a corn shock. A nose like an eagle's beak. He spoiled his children— your mother and Uncle Duncan— somethin’ awful, but he mnever spoiled himself. He let 'em go east to school and do as they pleased. But he always said the state of Ohio was good enough for him. Folks around here still talk about Si Hunter., If they knew you was in town, his only grandchild, they'd likely write a piece about you in the paper.” “Penny,” exclaimed Ruth in real panic, “if anything like that hap pens I'll leave town! I—l hate publicity!” She made Penny take a solemn oath that she would tell no one of her presence. “I wouldn’t anyway,” Penny ex plained.” “I keep to myself. People pry. There’s lots of things I'd die before I’d tell 'em!” She peered around her defiantly, as if holding the whole town at bay. “Yes, Penny,” said Ruth sooth ingly, and patted her arm. “Would you mind if I'd go for a ride with John Mc¢Neill before supper? He asked me this morn ing.” Penny relaxed. “Deo go, Miss Elaine. It'll do you good. Only be sure to put on that warmer suit. It’'s turned chilly with the rain.” Ruth and John McNeill were both 10 minutes early for their appointment. Ruth answered the door when he rang and said, “I meant to keep you waiting. This childish . eagerriess of mine is going to ruin you." “I'm easily spoiled,”” John re plied as he helped her into the low-swung roadster which was parked tefore the porch. “For instance, that kiss prece dent. Couldn't we do it—once, say, every time we meet?” “Why should we?” Ruth asked in a cool, aloof voice. ‘Why?” repeated John McNeill slowly, starting his car and pon dering the question. “I was hop ing you'd just want to, Elaine. The way I do. My mistake—" He swung the car out of the cireling driveway onto the street, and immediately assumed a more impersonal attitude. “You said the country, I believe. Well, we're on the edge of town now. You're about to see something very choice in rustic scenery.” Ruth said, “I suppose you'll tell me this is the garden spot of the world — finest sgoil, finest crops, finest climate, finest everything.” (Her heart was saying, ‘“Little fool, you chilled him by your priggishness! Why shouldn't you kiss when you meet? Aren't you supposed to be lifelong friends?)” “T could tell you plenty about this town.” replied John. “Only I'm afraid it might sound pre sumptuous to an easterner.” “We New Yorkers do feel su perior,” Ruth agreed. (She was thinking, “Dear Lord in heavey what have I to feel superior about? I, a tramp. A nobody. A piece of driftwood!™) He slowed the car to point out a rambling brick house with an avenue of trees leading to it. He said, “You recall that place, of course. The Phillipses still live there. Lucy’'s at Vassar now. I guess you see her sometimes in New York?” “It's funny,” Ruth answered, “I never do. Has she changed much?” “Not as much as you have” John MeNeill said, He offered her a cigaret which she took, hoping she was not too awkward at catching the light he offered her, Elaine, she felt, would smoke under the circum stances. 4 He said, looking at her until the match burned his fingers,, “You look lovely today. Mind my‘ telling you?" Mind? I ke . But we‘ll‘ have to give credit to my clothes. I've always liked this suit. It'sl more flattering than the little rag 1 arrived in.” | “When 1 first saw you,” John remarked, “You were the limpest little piece of wreckage I ever laid eyes on. It was a first-calss faint, it 1 ever saw one.” “What a way to enter your life after an eight-year absence!” Ruth mourned. “At my very worst.” “At your very most impressive,” he disagreed. “I've met several hundred perfectly turned out girls in my day, and promptly forgot ‘em. 1 never before picked up one that looked like a wet dish-rag fallen off the line, and, five min utes later, saw her turn into a thing of beauty right under my nose,” “Did you realize who I was?” Ruth asked curiously. | He said, “Until Penny started | calling you ‘Miss Elaine’ it never entered my head that you were anything but a little nobody try ing to find a dry spot.” “Oh—" said Ruth. “These elms are gorgeous, Like—like New England, aren’t they?” | “Have you forgotten this is the Western Reserve?” John asked. “Your ancestors and mine who helped settle it came from those states. Got their land grants for heing good Revolutionary sol diers. They held on to the old New [England customs — white fragne houses, elm-lined roads, maple sugar groves. All that sort of thing.” ' “I'd forgotten” Ruth replied. i The car sped through the rain like a smooth, purring animal that delighted to transport them, Dark ! ness had fallen and the headlights 'outlined a road that was level and | faintly curving. Ruth thought, "‘Hea.ven must be Itke this. I'd | like to crystallize this hour and | keep it always, shining like the I headlights and the rain on the wet ileaves. Only I can't. I think I | want us to hit a tree and crack {up and end it all before I stop Iheing Elaine to him. Before he finds me out for a cheat and a !llar-" ~But they didn’'t erack up. John lwas an excelent driver, and pres lently he turned the car around and | drove home. As they turned into 1 the driveway he said, “I guess old | Bertha'’s going to ask a few dozen | questions about thig ride.” | “Why?" asked Ruth blankly. | i “Bertha Gibbs,”” he said. “Pen ny,” “Urh!” laughed Ruth, "Imaginel Ime not recognizing her name!” | ‘ “She’s a funny old creature,” John remarked, not noticing. !“Sometimes ‘I think sh'es gone al fllttle potty. In the last few years | she’s taken to doging everybody. Even my mother.” “People often seem queer as they ! get old,” Ruth offered. “It's usu | ally just because their faculties ‘aren'r keen and they don't keep up ‘wi!h the times. Whatever makes | people think Penny's crazy?”’ | owwell,” answered John, “she's | got the dam'dest habit of painting| | the front door a bright blue! She does it at night-—every few weels, | winter and summer. She lets the I rest of the place go hang, but she nsver passes up that door. I ask { vou, honey, is that crazy or not?” | “It’s crazy,” Ruth agreed. “But | I'm not afraid of her, John. Other éways she’s normal. She’s 75 years | o'd todcy. by the way.” | “Too old to be a menace I | guess,” John said. - “Still T worry iabout you being shut up in that Georgia Crops Damaged Considerably by Recent Winds and Rains, Survey Shows (By the Associated Press.) | An estimate that Georgia crops have been damaged $7,000,000 by‘ recent rain, and wind storms was made today by W. L. Stone, direc tor of the State Bureau of Mar kets, as reports to the Associated Press told of conditions in vari ous parts of the state. | Stone said too much moisture,’ coupled with high wind, had pla_v—l ed havoc with crops in some parts of the state. E He said unfavorable weather and winds had: G 1. Caused peanuts to sprout in! the ground, or in stacks, and thus depreciate greatly in value: 2. Injured cotton, particularly én south Georgia, to the extent that it might not be eligible for the 119-cent government cotton &oans. 3. Reduced the hay crop, by causing pea-vines to shed their foliage. 4. Caused E;weet potatoes to sour in the ground. 6. Stripped pecan trees in partg of south Georgia of about one third of their yield. Reports from various parts of the state told of crop injury. Macon advised that rain -was causing “heavy damage in \middle Georgia, especially to cotton, al though two-thirds of the crop has been picked in this territory, ac cording . .to C. H, Bruce, Bibb county agent.” Colquitt county cotten men es timated the cotton crop loss wili run to 45 percent, said a dispatch from Moultrie. ‘“Peanut mills say that crop will be 25 to 30 percent less as a result of the storm and rains,” the message added. “W. R. Neal, south Georgia pecan ex pert, says the pecan crop will be 40 percent less, but still have a greater production than last year.” Athens, in northeast Georgia, said there had been practically no damage to crops in that area so far, but that if recent rainy and cloudy weather continued, it might be harmful. While truck ‘growers in some sections were delayed by wet weather, the mois ture was regarded as helpful in the Athens vicinity. . The pecan crop in Douglwrtyl county, one of the big producing‘ centers, was reported not hurt to any great exent by the wind, but Albany reported advices re ceived there indicated ‘“damage wg,s done by the wind to this crop in’ Mitchell and other counties of this section. Cotton and peanuts have both been damaged by con stant’ rains. The quality of cotton has been lowered and much cotton beaten out of the bolls. Peanuts | which have been gathered have sprouted in the stacks. Peanuts which have mnot been gathered have sprouted in the fields inl some instances, and in some cases, peanuts both in stacks and in the ground have become moldy.” Thomasville messaged that far- | mers and others reporfed wind’ cld barn with her. You might as | well be alone.” V ’ They had reached the house| and he was helping her acrosu" shimmering little nools of water to the steps of the dark porch. Ruth said softly, “Please keep on wor-| rying about me. I don't need it but“ I like it!” I After she had gone inside, John! McNeill stood for a time berornl the dark, still house, wondering why he felt as if the heart and| breath of him was locked up in-l side it. | (To Be Continued) e s S R S S 0 MR RIS YA beNLS ORS P 2 - | American Author | '__—————-———'__——_——————_—--———.
