FACE THE FACTS—FIX THE PUMP After five years of pump priming, the water seems to have gone back into the well. It doesn't do much good to prime a pump unless the mechanism is right to hold the water. We might as well face the fact that it looks is if too much political meddling with business has just about wrecked the pump. Walter Lippmann, one of the most fearless and realistic writers in the nation, in a recent syndicated article, shows that mere government spending will never solve the question of depression as long as business incentive is discouraged. Easy credit will only put business deeper in the hole, unless it is permitted to make a profit. On the possibility of business expansion under such conditions, Mr. Lippmann says: "With capital gains and undistributed profits taxes piled on top of enormous surtaxes, all the risks remain but the prospect of profit is virtually gone." In addition to necessity for correcting such a killing tax system, Mr. Lippmann adds that "business will have to be assured that the sit-down strike is not going to be permitted and that there is going to be an end of tolerated violence and of government favoritism in collective bargaining. There will have to be peace with utilities. There will have to be peace with railroads and..." With capital gains and undistributed profits taxes piled on top of enormous surtaxes, all the risks remain but the prospect of profit is virtually gone." In addition to necessity for correcting such a killing tax system, Mr. Lippmann adds that "business will have to be assured that the sit-down strike is not going to be permitted and that there is going to be an end of tolerated violence and of government favoritism in collective bargaining. There will have to be peace with utilities. There will have to be peace with railroads and some end to the arrangement by which rates are fixed by one government board and wages by another." And he might have added, a cessation of legislative proposals in Congress to destroy business and drive up the cost of living. How can pump priming to any permanent good with rotten calves to hold the water after it is raised from the bottom of the well? YOUTH TRAINING—AMERICAN STYLE Physically, mentally and spiritually, this is the Golden Age of American youth! With the children of so many countries being arbitrarily moulded to fit the planned pattern of dictators, it is refreshing to reflect that boys and girls here are given every chance to develop independence, resourcefulness and consideration for the rights of others. A growing factor in the training of future American citizens, a factor enthusiastically sponsored by educators throughout the nation, is the summer camp. In the last quarter-century, the movement has attained its greatest significance here in southern California where equable climate and incomparable open country contribute their part to the building of sturdy youth. So education moves ahead! The summer camps shortly will be ringing with the shouts of youngsters glad to be free for a while from confining school rooms, books and lessons. They'll be boating, swimming, making camp, working and playing together. They'll be learning as useful lessons as ever they learned in school, developing self-reliance, good sportsmanship and that intangible, delightful thing called "camp spirit." There'll be long days in the open, cool night's refreshing sleep, good, wholesome food and keen interest in each new day's adventure. There'll be fine men and women, leaders, to see to their safety and their general welfare. There'll be enough group action to insure consideration for the rights of others. But there will be no regimentation of thinking nor worship; no relinquishment of individuality, nor renunciation of ideals, as in foreign "youth camps". That is youth training—the American way! WARNING—THE FIRE SEASON IS COMING Fire is always dangerous. It's doubly dangerous in summer. $3,019,000,000—WASHINGTON — The Bank International Settlements in Leuven, Switzerland, has lost most its large customers. Nations about quit settling with one other financially. But the bank does a lot of observing and thinking, and last week the-most worthy observation of its annual report was a carefully documented conclusion that government spending cannot cure depression. While many legislators Washington last week were convinced that any further pruning will be money down drain, few qualified observers deny that government spending since 1833 helped bring the U.S. at least a temporary recovery. The main objection to resumption of spending has been that recently only lasts so long as the spending, and the government can spend forever. To a press conference last week President Roosevelt refuted argument, declared that previous spending programs had not "ed" but had merely been imposed by faulty business and economic methods. To find means to vent a recurrence of this situation was the prime purpose of the monopoly investigation he already recommended for consular consideration. Meantime, appropriation $3,019,000,000 of the president $5,000,000,000 spending program went through the house lil breeze. The $3,019,000,000 lief money: mainly $1,250,000 for WPA, $965,000,000 for RP (plus a $500,000,000 revolver fund to be used for loans states and cities), $175,000,000 the Farm Security administration As such it represented the reprogram proposed by Franklin Roosevelt a month ago except for the $300,000,000 for clearance. There does not seem to much doubt that if U. S. were handled locally it could done cheaper. The state auction of Ohio informed the presi last week that 20% of the relief expenditures were att WARNING—THE FIRE SEASON IS COMING Fire is always dangerous. It's doubly dangerous in summer. We are close to that menacing "fire season" now. Vacant lots and fields, if left uncut, are ready to burst into flame at the touch of a match. Woodlands are drying out—and when this dehydrating process reaches a certain stage, trees will literally explode when attacked by fire, and start conflagrations that may extend over tens of thousands of acres. Crown fires, running with hurricane speed and force along the tops of great trees, will extinguish all life, human or animal, in the area they cover. These holocausts can be prevented—and easily prevented—if only we'll all help. Keep fire in mind, and act accordingly. If you own property, see to it that it is kept clean and unlittered, and free from dry grass. When traveling about, never throw matches outdoors, never build fires near trees or other inflammables—and never leave a fire until it has been thoroughly extinguished, preferably with both water and dirt. Obey the fire laws—they were made for your protection, not to annoy you. As a matter of fact, the greatest tragedy of fire is that it is almost always unnecessary. Every year we burn up resources and property valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. We destroy thousands of lives. The indirect fire loss runs into the billions, and is reflected in unemployment, less business, reduced spending power. This toll is the result of careless, ignorance or just plain laziness. It may be that the unpreventable fire exists—but it is a very rare exception indeed. Human failure underlies at least nine fires out of ten. A little care and thought on your part may save your home or someone else's from destruction. It may save a life. Don't forget that. THE REBUILT BLUE EAGLE OW! INDUSTRY GOVT.

While the capture might mean that the men were preparing for a South China to cut off Kai-shek's munitions row observers believed that wanted an easy victory, nounce at home and that less, jealous Japanese named a little glory for its own. JUDICIAL SLUG?—WASHINGTON — Speaking before the American Law Institute last week, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes said: "... The prime necessity in making the judicial machinery work to the best advantage is the able and industrious judge, qualified by training, experience and temperament for his office." In "Harper's" magazine, Writer Marquis Childs last month reviewed Justice Hugo Black's first year in the supreme court, concluded that Black's legal training and experience were painfully unequal to his job on the nation's highest tribunal. Childs wrote that Justice Black's opinions often had to be rephrased by his colleagues to conform to supreme court standards; that he had been unforeseen during the past few months.

NAMES— OKLAHOMA CITY — Willie Cornelius Rogers, a former Oklahoma village schoolmaster, is pained by the unkind suggestion that multitudes of people voted for him for congressman in 1932 under the misapprehension that he was an ex-cowboy who cracked jokes. He got through' the 1934 and 1936 elections all right, but this year he is worried. By this time, of course, news has filtered through to the masses that the real Will Rogers was killed in an airplane crash in Alaska in 1935. What causes Will Rogers anxiety is that there are two other Will Rogerses in the field—a Connerville doctor and an Oklahoma City draughtsman. Stimulated by Willie Rogers' political troubles, a sharp-cyed correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune last week went through the list of candidates in the July 12 Oklahoma primaries and discovered what amounted to his office." In "Harper's" magazine, Writer Marquis Childs last month reviewed Justice Hugo Black's first year in the supreme court, concluded that Black's legal training and experience were painfully unequal to his job on the nation's highest tribunal. Childs wrote that Justice Black's opinions often had to be rephrased by his colleagues to conform to supreme court standards; that he had been unable to carry his share of the court's routine work, and that his presence thus had been "an acute discomfort and embarrassment" to his colleagues. Lawyers, who alone would be able to perceive awkwardness or incompetence in the text or citations of a supreme court justice's opinions, were inclined to agree with Childs. Washington's first shock was the nature of Childs's findings; its second how he had made them. Court dignity as well as obvious conventions naturally prohibit members from gossiping about each other to the press. Nonetheless, Childs is such a good friend of Justice Harlan F. Stone that by last week he and Justice Stone's office both felt called upon to deny that Stone had been Childs's chief source of information. By this time Scripps-Howard Columnist Raymond Clapper had written a column corrobbing Child's article and adding that Justice McReynolds had been amused by it. And, leaping on the back of Chief Justice Hughes's remarks to the Law Institute, the New York "Daily News's" enthusiastic Washington Correspondents John O'Donnell and Doris Fleeson broke all records for conclusion-jumping on the subject: "De- CHEVROLET WORLD'S LARGEST BUILDER OF SIXES BUILDING SUPREME WORLD'S LARGEST BUILDER OF SIXES BUILDING THE SIX SUPREME More than 3 out of every 5 motor car buyers today are choosing sixes. And, of course, the most popular six of all is this new Chevrolet—the Six Supreme! Discriminating people prefer it because of its high quality...because of its great value...because it's the only low-priced car with all these fine car features! "You'll be AHEAD with a CHEVROLET!" CONE BROTHERS 215 North Los Angeles Street Developments in the Capitol suggested again that some of the sawgivers of the United States supreme court had hitched up their judicial robes and in dignified fashion were in the process of putting the slug on their colleague, Associate Justice Hugo L. Black. VICTORY SUPPLIED— TOKYO, Japan — Although Japan's strictly censored press has been unable to report a Japanese victory, or anything of the Japanese defeats in China during the past two months, they were supplied with a victory last week when 12 Japanese warships, 20 warplanes and a landing party of 1,000 sailors and marines seized the important but poorly defended island of Amoy in South China. While the capture of Amoy might mean that the Japanese were preparing for a push in South China to cut off Chiang Kai-shek's munitions route, most observers believed that Japan wanted an easy victory to announce at home and that the restless, jealous Japanese navy wanted a little glory for itself. BRITISH DROUGHT— LONDON — Various conservative members of parliament representing agricultural constituencies last week warned that "the British farmer is suffering this spring the gravest drought since 1815 and steps must be taken before it is too late!" Less than one inch of rain had fallen during the past 100 days, and the drought was said to be costing British farmers last week $2,500,000 per day. With the grass shortage forcing them to fling unseasonably large flocks of sheep on the home market, thus threatening developments in the Capitol. Newport Harbor Schedules Events To keep the southern California visitor adequately entertained, Newport Harbor, California's recreational and pleasure port, has planned a program of events which should satisfy the most exacting and discriminating. This series of events listed in leaflet form makes interesting reading. The boating and yachting schedule is probably the most complete for yachting centers in the entire world, adding another "biggest" laurel to California's crown of achievements. Major events such as the "Flight of the Snowbirds" July 17, Tournament of Lights August 20, Balboa Bay Regatta July 19-24, Newport Harbor Race Week August 23-28, with the Sea Scout rendezvous at Thanksgiving are just a few of the outstanding affairs arranged for the pleasure of the public. It requires three pages of the folder to list the events. child's growing brain. Doctors have not been able to prevent or cure microcephaly. A few bold surgeons tried splitting too solid skulls lengthwise from forehead to nape, and holding the halves slightly apart with temporary metal wedges. But baby heads grow most from front to rear. Such operations gave room for a short time only for the side-thrust of the growing brain, and most patients shortly died. Assured of the child's normal intelligence, Surgeon Herbert Hermann Schoenfeld decided to cut the boy's skull across, from Memorial Ritual Given by V.F.W. Memorial services for service men who gave their lives for their country were conducted last Thursday evening by the post and auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars. The rites were conducted at the Odd Fellows temple. The memorial sermon was delivered by Rev. Stanley Frederick George, pastor of the Presbyterian church. The ritual was performed by officers of the post and auxiliary. "Sweet Soldier Boy," V. F. W. song, was sung by Miss Margaret Hein and Ralph Zimmerman, accompanied by Miss Ferne Hein, who also played for the group singing of "America" and "Nearer My God to Thee." Osceola Camps for Summer Announced Various camp dates for Orange county YMCA groups at Camp Osceola this summer have been announced. J. B. Wilbur, Anaheim YMCA secretary, will be director of one event and assistant director of another. Mrs. Wilbur will direct the Anaheim and South Orange county older girls' camp. Anaheim and South Orange county older boys' camp will be held June 30 to July 11, with Wilbur as director. August 25 to September 1 Wilbur will be assistant director for the Orange county younger boys' camp. resenting agricultural constituencies last week warned that "the British farmer is suffering this spring the gravest drought since 1815 and steps must be taken before it is too late!" Less than one inch of rain had fallen during the past 100 days, and the drought was said to be costing British farmers last week $2,500,000 per day. With the grass shortage forcing them to fling unseasonably large flocks of sheep on the home market, thus threatening to break the price, Conservative Robert Hugh Turton begged his majesty's government to "keep overseas sheep off the market!" Mournfully replied Minister of Agriculture William Shepherd Morrison: "The Ottawa Empire agreements do not permit such a course. The situation may greatly improve if there is rain in the next two weeks." All churches in the diocese of Bristol were ordered to offer prayers for rain. Within 48 hours heavy rains doused almost the whole of the British Isles, the drought was called "definitely broken." PIN-HEAD STRETCHED— WASHINGTON — A medical question that arose In Washington last week was whether to let a pin-headed (microcephalic) little boy grow up to be an idiot or to take a chance of making him normal by the drastic operation of splitting and stretching his skull. Neuropsychiatrist Daniel Delehanty Vincent Stuart, Jr., found that Alden Vorrath's mind and brain were normal for his two-and-a-half-years. However, occasional convulsions seemed to indicate that the skull had hardened abnormally and was cramping the L. W. BLODGET and THOMAS H.
