NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL
(By E. B. Betts)
On August 25th Hon. Paul Brown
returned to his home at Elberton,
Elbert County, Georgia, the Empire
State of the South, since congress
adjourned until January 3rd, 1938.
Congressman Brown has been a
member of the house since his first
election on July 5, 1933, in a special
election called to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late Hon.
C. U. Brand, who died at his home
in Athens, Ga., on May 17, 1983,
from the new Tenth District of
Georgia. Mr. Brdwn only had 46
votes cast against him on July 6,
1933, when he was first elected to
the 73rd congress. He is a member
of the house banking and currency
committee, of which Hon. Henry B.
Steagall, of the Third District of
Alabama is chairman, consisting of
seventeen members. He has not
missed a session of said committee
since coming to congress, nor missed
a roll call tv the house of the 73rd,
74th and 75th congress, which is a
fine record, indeed. He is an able
statesman and a fine man, and very
popular in Democratic and Republi
can circles on Capitol Hill in the
political arena of America, as well
as the new Tenth District of Geor
gia. His constituents should feel
proud of him in the halls of con
gress, and keep him here for many
years to come.
Hon. J. Thomas, Heflin, former
United States Senator from Ala
bama, has announced for the senate
in the Democratic State primary of
Alabama on April 26, 1938, called
by Governor Bibb Graves to elect
a successor to Senator Hugo L.
Black, who has become Associate
Justice of the United States Su
preme Cpurt. Senator Heflin was
defeated for the senate in 1930, by
Senator John H. Bankhead.
t t t
Associate Justice and Mrs. Hugo
L. Black have gone to Europe for
vacation. They will return to the
District of Columbia by or before
October 5, to be at the Fall term of
the United States Supreme Court,
which opens on October sth at the
corner of First St. and Maryland
Ave., N. E.
Mrs. J. C. Alexander, of Jefferson,
Ga., Jackson County, the Empire
State of the South, was a prominent
visitor at the National Capitol on
August 31. She was formerly Miss
Ida Lee Wills, the daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Wills, of
Athens St., Jefferson, Georgia. She
was accompanied by Mrs. J. F.
Malloy, of Athens, Ga., daughter
of Judge C. F. Holliday of Attica
District, of Jackson County, and the
late Mrs. C. F. Holliday.
t t t
Hon. Dewey Short, of the Seventh
District of Missouri, made a political
speech at Richmond, Va., September
2. He is a candidate for President
in 1940, on the National Republican
ticket.
PAPER MILL TO COST $20,000,000
The Saint Joe Paper Company in
Florida, not a great distance below
the Georgia line, has raised the steel
skeletons for huge buildings to be
used in the immense paper mill at
that port. The money of the Ohio
Meads and the Florida du Ponts is
said to be behind the enterprise.
According to a statement in the
Manufacturers Record for August
500 to 700 homes are to be con
structed for workers and officials.
Stores and amusement facilities,
streets, waterworks, sewerage sys
tems, railroad lines, other kinds of
factories, and general public docks
and harbor improvements, will bring
the total expenditure to $20,000,-
000.
It is claimed that the company’s
program is intended to rehabilitate
the pine lands of the Southeast.
Another huge paper manufactur
ing enterprise has been operating at
Panama City, still closer to the
Georgia line, and much Georgia
timber has been sold to it. The
timber-buying system used, however,
has not been rehabilitating. It has
been more nearly annihilating.
Another paper manufacturing
plant of immense size is being de
veloped in Savannah, and it was an
nounced several months ago that
$50,000,000 is being spent in the
construction of mills in and close
around Georgia. The $50,000,000
was the contemplated expenditure
before any figures were given out
about the new project at Port Saint
Joe.
MELLON’S RICHES LEFT TO
CHARITY
Pittsburgh.—Generous in life, so
was Andrew W. Mellon in death.
The wealthy philanthropist gave
over his entire fortune, with the ex
ception of SIBO,OOO to the use of
charitable and educational purposes.
Less than three hours after the
frail body of the 82-year-old states
man and financier had been placed
in a receiving vault at Allegheny
Cemetery, his family revealed, in a
few simple words, that all of his
personal wealth would be placed in
trust for his fellowmen.
The only bequest not made to
charity was the SIBO,OOO Mellon
left to less than a dozen of his per
sonal servants.
Attempts to fix the value of the
estate were futile. Unofficially it
had been variously estimated to to
tal between $200,000,000 and
$500,000,000.
Donald S. Shepard, Mellon’s law
yer, and one of the executors of the
will, refused to place an estimate on
its value.
He explained the estate was of
such varied character that it would
be impossible to make an estimate
of its size but that it was “extheme
ly large.”
The estate was left to the A. W.
Mellon educational and charitable
trust fund which has distributed
many millions of dollars since its
creation in December, 1930.
The moneys will be handled by
Mellon’s son, Paul, his son-in-law,
David K. E. Bruce, and by Shepard,
trustees of the fund and executors
of the will.
KNOW YOUR TIMBER
Emily Woodward
Knowing his onions may be en
tirely unimportant to the man who
owns timberland or forest woodland
in Georgia, but knowing his timber
is a vital matter about which he
cannot afford to be indifferent.
With two pulp mills already
established in the state and others
on the way, the fate of this industry,
its profit to Georgia and to the
timber owner are, in large measure,
in the hands of the man who owns
the trees.
This man needs, first of all, to
know his trees —the number, the
sizes, and what they will yield in
cords of wood or units of other pro
ducts—how much pulpwood, how
many poles, or board feet of saw
timber.
Next, he should know the money
value of each of these products in
order to be able to convert his
stumpage—standing timber—into the
product that will yield him the great
est profit. "
Above all, the timber-owner
should beware of selling his stump
age blindly in lump lots. The wise
cattle owner would not think of
selling his herd for a lump sum,
neither will the wise timber-owner
agree to a wholesale trade for his
standing timber. The wise cattle
man knows his cows, their individual
weight and quality and he sells them
on that basis in pulpwood, lumber,
logs, ties, or poles.
This is the only way the owners
of timberland in Georgia can suc
cessfully discharge the three-fold re
sponsibility which comes to them
with the paper industry’s southern
trend—the responsibility to them
selves to get the best money return
for their products-responsibility to
the state to safeguard one of its
most valuable resources, which in
turn is the only way to meet the
responsibility to the new industry
to provide raw materials and thus
insure its permanent success.
COLORED PULLMAN PORTER
TO STAY
With the advent of hostesses on
railroad trains comes also the pre
diction that the Pullman porter with
his spotless jackets, his -Tin and his
“Yassuh, boss,” will soon be as ex
tinct as the buggy whip.
Don’t believe it. As long as
traveling salesmen ride the rails and
as long as congenially loquacious
gents still congregate in the smoker,
there always will be a Pullman port
er lurking somewhere around.
Hostesses may be “chic” and they
may have “personality plus” as the
roads advertise. But you couldn’t
slip half a dollar into one of their
palms and get that upper 12 changed
magically into a lower seven.
And when a bright-eyed young
hostess pokes her head into the
berth to announce, “Thirty* minutes
to Buffalo, sir,” then that will be
going too far. The porter still has
his place on trains.

TAKE TIME FOR FRIENDSHIP
Can you imagine how lonely our
lives would be without friendships?
If you have an autograph-album, it
probably contains many verses about
friendships. Here is one:
“A friend is one who shares your
joys,
And doubles them for you;
A friend is one who shares your
woes,
And cuts them right in two.”
We all need friends to help us en
joy life and to inspire us to be bet
ter ourselves. A person who is all
alone does not have the same en
thusiasm that he would show if a
friend were with him. Did you ever
notice how rarely you laugh out
loud when you are alone? People
are made so that they need com
rades.
The story is told of a great man
who, near the end of his life, was
given a dinner by his many admir
ers. They told in their speeches
about him how he had started life as
a poor boy, shy and not so very
well educated. Gradually he had
overcome his handicaps and had ad
vanced to positions of trust and
great influence, until finally now he
was loved and honored by thousands
of people. After recounting his life
story, they asked him to say a few
words about the secret of his suc
cess. He arose and said simply
this: “I had a friend.”
Friendship cannot be one-sided.
If you want to have a good friend,
you will have to be a good friend.
That is why we say, “Take time for
friendship.” The cultivation of
friendship requires time. You have
to talk to one another; you must
play and work together. In fact,
the more things you do together, the
better friends you will be.—Select

ADVENTURE IS COMING
IN THE AMERICAN BOY
Readers who like adventure and
the lure of far places will find plenty
to please them in coming issues of
The American Boy Magazine.
They’ll read, for instance, of sea
men and sabotage and San Francis
co water-front trouble; of daring ad
venture in the world of pseudo
science, and of a feud aboard a
plunging, rolling battleship.
They’ll read, too, of excitement
aboard a transport plane blaring
over jungled Mexican mountains,
and of stranger planes that are not
bound to earth but swing through
the noiselessness of space. Readers
can follow a young ex-Mountie as he
searches for clues in the wild north
lands, and Tierney, the pie-eating
detective, on the trail of city crimi
nals.
Anew feature in The American
Boy is picture pages that tell stories.
Pictures, for instance, that vividly
show a day in the life of a coast
guardsman, and how an Eskimo hus
ky sled dog does his work. They
transmit the thrill of battling a
hundred pound, water-churning tar
pon. Tips on how it’s done are al
so given pictorially—ranging from
how to run a broken field to how to
be correct in a ballroom!
Note: Subscription prices of The
American Boy will be raised in the
near future. Send your subscription
order at once to take advantage of
the bargain rates now in effect: one
year at SI.OO or three years at $2.00.
Foreign subscriptions 50c a year ex
tra. Send your name, address and

On news-stands the price is 15c a

YOU AND YOUR TIME
Believe it or not, but when a man
reaches the age of 70 he can look
back on 19 years of work, 23 years
of sleep, six years of eating, nine
years of amusement, three years de
voted to dressing, two years of sick
ness, two years spent in shaving and
one year in going to church. That
is about the ratio at which the aver
age man’s life is lived, and it leaves
but five years unaccounted for.
The explanation seems simple
enough, however, for it is safe to
say that at least five years of a
man’s life of 70 years can be ac
counted for in repairing the car, in
petty family arguments, in reading
about the war in Europe and in try
ing to figure out some way to get
his taxes paid, to say nothing of
trying to determine what the young
er generation is coming to or what
new-angled “ism” our political
friends are going to spring on us
when they again seek a soft job at
the public's expense.—Covington

INCOME TAX BLANKS TO BE
SIMPLE
It’s hard to take much pleasure in
a great deal of the news that comes
out of Washington these days, but
here’s one item that ought to bring
hearty cheers even in the hottest of
hot weather.
The Treasury Department is re
arranging its income tax blanks to
make them a little simpler, and will
begin distributing them on January
2 so as to give the maximum amount
of time to make them out before
that awful March 15 deadline. The
new form is especially aimed at
making it simpler for “the little fel
low”, but the treasury is hoping to
simplify even the returns for upper
bracket individuals and corporations.
Paying the tax is always bad
enough, but making out the blank is
almost as bad as the actual pay
ment. Anything that can be done
to make it any less painful will be a
boon to millions and millionaires
alike.
