HORSE STILL SURVIVES
In its first enthusiasm over the
Machine age, the world prepared to
say farewell to the horse. But horse
flesh remains as hardy as ever and
refuses to be shoved into oblivion.
One of the predictions was the dis
appearance of the war horse, in fa
vor of motor cars, trucks, tanks and
motorized artillery batteries. Motor
ized artillery was given a thorough
test by the United States army, and
the verdict was that the horse could
never be entirely displaced, for his
superiority in rough country and
over muddy roads was clear. The
War department now has announced
its plans for mechanization, and the
horse gets ample recognition. Effec
tive December 1, 41 artillery units
will be motorized, but 33 horse
drawn batteries will be retained.

WHEN YOU TAKE
A LAXATIVE
... use a spoon
It isn’t what brand of laxative you
take that’s so important —it's the
form. A liquid laxative can be taken
in any required amount. If only a
little is needed, you need never take
a bit too much.
Doctors favor the easily measured
. liquid laxatives. Instead of any form
that does not encourage variation
from the fixed dose. A fixed dose may
be an overdose for you —or your
child.
Always remember this one thing
about constipation: the secret of any
real relief is reduced dosage.
Give the bowels only as much help
as may be needed, and less help as
the need grows less. You will find Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin an excellent
aid in regulating the bowels. It con
tains senna and cascara (natural
laxatives) and it will clear _yp any
bilious, sluggish condition without
upset. Delightful taste, and pleasant
action. Your druggist Kas it.

Washington.—ln connection with the
proposed international loan to China —
aimed at preventing the Japanese from
obtaining a strangle hold on that mar
ket —a very Interesting development,
with a group of American manufactur
ers behind it, is under way. The gov
ernment knows about it, but lias taken
no action.
Representing manufacturers who use
tungsten, an American is now in China
investigating the possibility of obtain
ing a very large amount of this valu
able metal —enough to supply all the
needs of this country for a period of
years. The idea would be to ship this
tungsten from China to Seattle or some
other Pacific port, there to hold it as
a sort of pool. Supplies would be sold
from the pool as needed by the manu
facturers.
The main object is not to aid China,
but to stabilize the price in this coun
try of tungsten. The price has fluctu
ated over a tremendous range, amount
ing to several hundred dollars a ton
for tungsten ore! This is a situation,
which is naturally most embarrassing
to those using it, as it makes much
more difficult the making of contracts
which have any length of time to run,
especially contracts where any sizable
fraction of the cost is based upon the
price of tungsten.
But if the plan succeeds it will be of
enormous benefit to China. The sup
ply of tungsten bought would be so
large that it would run way up In the
millions of dollars. This would pro
vide a credit for China here for any
Imports she wanted from this country.
It would not be barter in the sense that
the word has been used, for example,
in Connection with the proposed ex
change of half a million bales of cotton
with Germany for blocked marks. But
It would provide China with a large
amount of exchange in this country
on which she could draw. And the
best of it, as the State department
folks see the situation, though they
are taking no part so far in the ma
neuver, is that it would provide a nat
ural stimulus to trade, with no at
tempt to force goods along new chan
nels, and with none of the difficulties
and barriers with which most of the
proposed barter agreements have been
afflicted.
Wouldn’t Stop Imports
Nor would it even put a stop to im
ports of tungsten into this country,
thus depriving China of a natural
source of exchange. Under the pro
posed plan, just as much tungsten
would be imported from China for the
three years, say, following the arrival
of the huge shipments to make up the
pool, as though the pool had not been
created. In away this would be a re
serve supply, which would be replen
ished by purchases from China as fast
as it was depleted. For the object of
the pool is not to buy all at once a
supply for a long period, and then not
to buy again until the pool is exhaust
ed. The object is just to obtain price
stabilization. If the price should shoot
up to a point the managers of the pool
thought unreasonable, they would sell,
but do no purchasing until the price
should decline. If the price should fall
too low, heavy purchases would be
made, certainly to the limit of the pool
capacity.
In effect, advocates of the plan point
out, the organization of the pool would
be an advance to China of some mil
lions of dollars, in exchange for a val
uable commodity, so that no element of
credit would be involved —as between
China and the United States. But it
would serve just as useful a purpose
as if the government—as desired by
Britain and others worried about the
Japanese credit to China —had ad
vanced the money. Which is very im
portant to the treasury because only
the most optimistic think if the money
were lent it would ever be repaid.
Those working for the pool say there
would be no difficulty in financing the
original purchases, as banks would be
glad to lend money on tungsten stored
in a bonded warehouse.
See Trouble Ahead
A simple relief measure for Porto
Rico has opened up with probability
of troubles and repercussions from now
on, and involving not only Porto Rico
but the Philippines, Hawaii, Cuba, and
Louisiana, not to mention the beet su
gar states.
It all grew out of the visits to Porto
Rico by Mrs. Roosevelt and by Profes
sor Tugwell, who happens to be under
secretary of agriculture as well as a
brain truster. At least, critics of the
move so insist.
What happened finally was that Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace signed an
order permitting excess sugar cane in
Porto Rico to be ground into molasses
and then brought into the United
States. This means, of course, that
the sugar so ground was —until this or
der —in excess of Porto Rico’s quota.
It could have been sold abroad, on the
world market, or it could have been
plowed under.
Obviously this move disturbed the
whole quota set-up. Already Hawaii
had been screaming that this very
quota was ruinous to her. The beet
sugar people had accepted it because
they could get nothing better, but were
far from happy. And the Cubans
thought they were pretty nearly ruined.
AAA has not paid much attention to
Louisiana sugar producers. They had
been benefiting. The price for their
molasses had risen from 2 to 7% cents
a gallon during the past year. In fact,
the sugar section of AAA claims that
Louisiana has profited more than any
other section from the sugar program.
This was due to a more or less un
expected development—the widespread
use of molasses for the production or
alcohol. And therein lies more trou
ble from the Porto Rico decision.
Hits Corn Belt
For it brings the corn belt boys up
standing—and screaming. They have
fought bitterly for years for all kinds
of legislative devices to increase the
price of corn. Many of them backed
the proposal to force all motorists to
use a mixture of alcohol —made from
corn —with their gasoline. This was
never enacted, but there has always
been pressure for it, and It illustrates
their Interest In any proposal affecting
the use of corn.
Now whisky men agree thai neutral
spirits for blending with straight whis
ky should be made from grain. They
insist that the taste is different; that
alcohol made from molasses does not
produce as delectable a drink as if the
alcohol had been made from grain, de
spite the chemical similarity.
And it so happens that the prime
movers for this dispensation to Porto
Rico on molasses, outside the Porto
Rico Interests themselves, were liquor
people. Those most interested happen
to be located In Philadelphia. Which
presents a double-barreled argument
for opponents of the concession.
Louisiana finds herself supported by
the corn belt in protesting against this
upset on the sugar quota, .whereas just
recently the corn belt was sore with
the liquor people for using molasses
from Louisiana. Moreover, the corn
belt boys are sore because if the price
of molasses had kept on mounting, as
the Louisiana planters had hoped It
would, the liquor people would have
turned back to corn anyway.
But the end is not yet. For the
liquor people are not satisfied, even
with the concession on Porto Rican mo
lasses. Now they want the same con
cession made for the Philippines—de
spite the fact that the sugar interests
were most potent in the fight to give
the Philippines their independence in
the hope of eventually getting rid of
Philippine competition on sugar.
So now the Philippine agitators will
join the liquor people in insisting on
having Philippine molasses —in excess
of her sugar quota —admitted into the
United States. And the corn belt boys
are preparing to make Mr. Wallace’s
life miserable.
Long Perturbed
Huey Long is said by some close
friends to be just a little perturbed
about the selection of ex-Gov. Dan
Moody of Texas to prosecute alleged
tax evasion cases in Louisiana. This
is one reason Long has been making
such a crusade against Postmaster
General James A. Farley. He hopes
to do just about what Senator Burton
K. Wheeler did to Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty. And what Sen
ator James Couzens of Michigan did to
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W.
Mellon. In short, to beat them to the
punch. So that when later develop
ments are aired the country will get
the impression that Long is being “per
secuted.”
It is no secret that the government
thinks it has the goods on Huey. There
is no doubt whatever that Dan Moody
was convinced, in his recent inter
views here with Department of Justice
and treasury officials, that they had a
good case.
The really Interesting part of the
story is why Moody was picked. It
was on the recommendation of some
very high New Deal advisers who
knew the Texas situation intimately.
They clinched their case for Moody
when they told of the prosecutions
that made him famous.
At that time Moody, only thirty-two
years old, was attorney general of Tex
as. He went after a group, which was
suspected of having made some fat
profits out of road contracts. He did
a masterly job of investigating first,
and then so enmeshed the small fry
that before they knew what they were
doing they had dragged the higher-ups
into the picture. So the astonishing
picture was held up to Texas of actual
ly putting the big fellows—the men be
hind—in jail.
Made Moody a Hero
All of which made Moody a hero.
He was elected governor and then re
elected. In fact, his popularity lasted
until he, although a Baptist and a
thirty-second-degree Mason, decided to
support the nominee of the Houston
convention for President. This hap
pened to be Al Smith, and Texas did
not take kindly to Smith's candidacy.
Nor to its popular governor supporting
him. This is important at the moment
for several reasons. First, because
Moody knew he was running coun
ter to public sentiment. He told
friends at the Houston convention
that he did not think Smith would
have a chance of carrying Texas if
nominated. As a delegate he did not
vote for Smith, but for Jesse Jones.
But Al Smith once nominated, Moody
tpok the unpopular course and went
through for the New York candidate.
So that while his judgment was
sound, his determination to do what be
thought was the right thing regardless
of consequences was also demonstrat
ed. Afterward he retired to private
life, and has been doing pretty well
since at the practice of law.
The Long case promises to put him
back in the national picture. HH
friends are enthusiastic about his pros
pects. He is only forty-three now, so
he can wait. But they are sure he
will wind up with the scalps of both
the Kingfish and Gov. O. K. Allen, as
well as many of their lieutenants.
Which would make him a figure all
over the country.

Year’s Discoveries Add
Laurels to Explorers
A hitherto unknown, Inactive vol
canic crater, partly eroded, but with
an original circumference estimated
at 30 miles, was discovered in July.
1934, by Father Bernard R. Hub
bard, near the tip of the Alaska
peninsula. Father Hubbard’s party,
which carried on Its work In co-op
eration with the National Geographic
society, also scaled for the first time
the Aghiieen pinnacles, lofty peaks
near the crater.
Dr. Sven Hedin, Swedish explorer,
found, In a desert region of Chinese
Turkestan, traces of the lost city of
Edsina.
A fresh-water lake, two miles long
by one mile wide, heretofore known
only to Indians, was discovered in
Costa Rica In September. It was
first located from an airplane. The
lake Is near the Nicaraguan border.
The Greenland ice cap was crossed
by dog sledge, from Disco bay on the
west coast to Scoresby sound, by a
British expedition led by Martin
Lindsay, after which the party
pushed southward parallel with the
coast for nearly 400 miles, traversing
previously unexplored territory, be
tween Scoresby sound and Angmag
salik.
