TUESDAY, APRIL 5.1932 FOUR THOUSAND YEARS About four thousand two hundred and eighty years ago today Noah threw out the anchor from the ark and landed on Mount Ararat. With his sons and daughters he prepared to start a new civilization. Nahad had prepared for the startin of a new civilization in every way. He had collected, the old Testament tells us, all kinds of animals. He had also, we supposed, all kinds of seed ready for planting in his fields. For population, he took along his sons and their wives. This all happened some four thousand years ago. Economic depressions were then unknown; the thing that had bothered Noah was a righteousness depression. This depression was easily cured; they merely drowned the sinners and started anew. Wouldn't it be nice if we could drown the causes of our troubles in a flood and once more start out with a clean slate? In these four thousand years we have done very much, but now we are in the same position from which Naoh had to take off on his epic voyage. But we have no flood. AN INFLATION THREAT With the bitter contested tax bill barely out of the way, the House of Representatives has in prospect another conflict which promises equal fireworks when hearings open on the Patman bill to pay the remaining half of the World War bonus certificates. Passage of the bill would call for an outlay of two and one-half billion dollars. In spite of President Hoover's campaign against additional bonus payments at this time and his promise to veto the bill, sentiment in its favor has been gaining steadily in congress. Its passage seems almost assured, although an overriding of the presidential veto is doubtful. The measure will be considered largely on a basis of political expediency. Congress fears the organized soldier vote, and there are elections next November to be considered. An essential factor in the Patman bill has been largely neglected in putting the issue before the public. That is its inflationary aspect. Payment would be not out of the present treasury funds, but through an issue of new money which would result in increasing the currency by nearly one-half. Unfortunately, the inflationary aspects of the bill will receive but small consideration in congress. The measure will be voted for or against almost solely on its political consequences for the individual member. If a policy of inflation is adapted, it will be on its own merit, but because the Patman bill is railroaded through congress in fear of the soldier vote. If inflation is defeated, it will be merely because this fear is not strong enough to create the necessary votes to over come a presidential veto. And inflation is too serious an issue to be crowded in or pushed out through the back door. SOUND ECONOMICS Secretary Hyde, in explaining his farm loan plan, displays a sound knowledge of economics. He would use the money made available for agricultural relief through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation not for more loans to farmers, but for aiding in exporting farm products and in developing new markets. It is not more debts that the farmer needs, the secretary maintains, but more markets. Additional loans would merely stimulate production, tend further to lower prices, and shave the farmer still deeper into debt. The futility of artificial stabilization has already been expansively proven. As long as the Farm Board's huge stocks overhang the markets, no appreciable increase in price can be expected. The same thing is true of the reremainder of the domestic crop carry-overs. Finding new markets, where the crops otherwise would not be sold, is the only means by which the government can speed up the adjustment of supply and demand in agricultural commodities. It remains as the only sound method by which governmental manipulation will aid farm prices. HAS TEXAS NO ROMEOS? A Romeo from the land of dykes and windmills across the sea has invaded the state of sand, sombreros, and soft voices and captured one of their most beautiful young women. Yes, A. L. Van Assendervg of Holland is going to marry Miss Carol Johnson, most beautiful young woman at Simmons college in Abilene, Texas. Texans should protest. They have produced many of the screen's most ardent, dashing lovers, who are known for the ease with which they play the guitar and warble love ballads under a Texas moon. Where were the brethren of John Boles while this young Hollerden was courting one of Texas's fairest? And have Texans forgotten the queen who succeeded in borrowing money in this country and thus started an avalanche of borrowing which has forced our largest financiers to consider robbing the bails' banks? Who knows what will result from this international matrimonial alliance? Isn't it possible that Mr. Van Assenderp's conquest will be such an inspiration to his countrymen that there will soon begin a run on American college beauty queens? NO STARVING, BUT: The New York Times reports that no one is starving. The story was the substance of letters received from thirty-nine governors. Nine states did not make reports. Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania reported that many people in his state were “practically starving.” School principals report that many of their pupils are eating only one meal a day. Discipline cases are asked what they had for breakfast; the usual report is that the offender had nothing at all. The school children attend school in clean and orderly clothes, but in many instances they come hungry. It is brought out in a report made before Congress in December that one-third of the population of St. Louis is in want. Sixty to 65 per cent of all persons in organized trades are out of jobs. In New York, which did not report, 800,000 persons are out of work; 180,000 families were given aid by organized societies, and 107,000 other persons are in immediate need of help. Kentucky is another state that did not send a report to Congress. Everyone knows the conditions that exist in the coal mining areas. There, people are being fed once a day. They do not get a balanced diet. Hospitals report diseases due to the eating of foods containing an excessive amount of starch. Yet, the New York Times headline remarks, "No One is Starving."

Anyone who does not have a membership when play begins will be dropped from the list. NEWMAN JEFFREY, Manager. At the Play We understand, from rather poor authority — no doubt — that there is a movement on foot to abolish the annual W.S.G.A. musical comedy. From the size of the crowd present last night it seems that the word has gone out that the audience was abolished. In the cause of accuracy, we assure you that such is not the case. By G. H. Penney "Scholastic Scandal," the annual open of the Women's Self Government school, was held there its deserved but its lapsed last night in France the theater and the light it shed was not meant although it wouldn't blind one the spectators. "The most important—all 40 of them—who seemed to sense that the hard-working principals were so ill prepared to better fate than a row of empty seats." The part of the play which we presume to call the plot deals with the parents of a girl who is being expelled from school for scholastic deficiencies and who sees the dean's daughter (who has been away to some girl's school—pupa evidently not her mother) for education for a growing daughter) and falls in love with her at first sight. We couldn't believe that though, for surely she was on the other before at rehearsals, but others. Plot Thickness Slightly With a thick plot, it looks thick enough to include a secondary relationship between the dean's secretary and a member of the faculty. A dance at the old "fur" house follows where we meet the secretary, who tells letters belonging to the young college wrestler, he plans to enter her room, she overhears the plot—clever, h2-h3 makes up the plot. Some villains are attempting to steel valuable papers concerning her estate. The Prof. goes to her room to protect her from a robbery and bed-bed scene in the sorority house. Not a double-decked bed in sight. That's as far as we will take you in this novel. It takes 30 cents to you, it certainly isn't worth a dime to us to tell you about it. The plot is sketchy but it is enough. There is one violation of good written characters. The characters are bung on the plot. We suggest courses 271 and 372 see catches. Plot Thickens Slightly voices. However, they contributed much to the decorativeness of the show. The dean played by Gilmer Reynolds was a strong character, if the wig would remain in place until the curtain. The rest of the cast and the audience and we don't care who knows us. The ladies of the chorus were well trained, as were the men; they were well costumed; and their dance routines were well worked out, on the whole. Particularly good were the pajama routine and the last waltz numbers, according to the program, under the direction of Dorothy Freedrick. Frances Wilson Directs The Frames Wilson Directs The show was a pretty good little comedy. The music was tumelful, the lyrics were good and the book good enough. The book and music were the work of Robert McElhain and Grace Winsor McElhain—local boy and girl who made good in the city. Don't sue, McIntyre, well come quietly. Pardon, the music was musical numbers—the Spanish Dance—and not the work of Mrs. McElhain. The production was staged under the direction of Miss Frances Wilson who did a rather fine job—considering all things. The settings were constructed by the worker been in the department and dramatic art and were well done. K. C. Forced to Change Traffic Sign on Viaduct There was an orchestra in the pit, and it was directed by Dr. Dorreau. This was a new innovation after the usual dah-de-dah-dah that makes up the musk for other instruments. --you will always enjoy the ood served here. Kansas City, Kan., April 5—(UP) The sign on the inter-city交椅 lead ing from Kansas City, Kan., to Kansas City, Mo., used to read: "Minimum speed, 30 miles. No passin- t." But arresting officers, attempting to enforce the laws, soon found that many motorists denied they knew the meaning of the word minimum. Several asso- cials pleas that they had believed they should not go faster than 30 miles an hour. He found Wood $100 on a reckless walked out on the vapid, and changed the signs to read: "You must go 30 miles an hour or keep off this vapid. No passing." Before Judge Lee Judy in municipal charge on a charge of ignoring this sign, the judge agreed with arresting officers that there couldn't be much doubt about the speed of the vehicle. So he fired Wood $130 on a reckless driving charge, sentenced him to serve 30 days in jail besides, and then added another $25 for failure to have a state Wednesday Noon You will enjoy the delicious Baked Halibut 13c Of course if you do not want a fish dinner we offer two other meats.
