BRYCE CANYON PARK, Utah, Aug. 22.—Bryce Canyon had better get busy and sue Walt Disney for Plagiarism, or vice versa. Either Walt is copying Naure, or Nature is copying Walt. Bryce Canyon 1s 8 ®illy Symphony, standing still. : 3 Fantastic is the word for it. It just duesn’t-seem real. It's as though Nature decided to stop being so serious, and took half } a day off and just made crazy —stuff and daubed it up with pretty colors and had a wonderful time. Bryce Canyon is a sort of Carlsbad Cavern outdoors. You stand on the rim of a precipice. You look down into a valley. And in this valley is a vegular forest - of tall and erratically : carved stone spires, rising as high as 500 feet. : En masse, they look like a huge forest of gigantic stone tree trunks, without limbs. solar pipe-organ. Or they look like 10,000 pink flagpoles. Or they look like what you see if somebody hits you on the head with a mallet. All these poles have weird knots and projections and top-pieces on them. It is probably the best spot . in the world for sitting and picking out images. You can find a camel, or William Jennings Bryan. It is better than seeirig faces in cleuds or in fireplaces. The Rangers tell me you'd be surprised at the number of tourists who ask, in complete seriousness, if «the. CCC boys have carved all these figures from the rock. ” It is erosion, of course. But how Nature could take a few acres of land and wash it away till the floor lay 500 feet below, and yet leave thousands of slim stone poles sticking up there unharmed, is beyond me

It Seems to Me

I SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Aug. 22.—“There’s fothing turning tonight,” said the man. “Tomorrow, maybe. And maybe not.” * The latter seems the more likely selection. Chips gease to fall on Saratoga. And very much I fear this is no passing frost but the beginning of the Ice Age and the coming of the long, dark night. Certainly the twilight. of gambling is upon us. Naturally, I'm not counting horse racing, because that is samething you do in the daytime. As a belated Victorian with a strong sense of proprieties I regret the passing of the green baize era. Man was not at his noblest when he sat and watched an ivory ball go popping past his numbers. He might easily have been engaged In pursuits of a more worthy nature. But I ask the reformers, man to man, whether the world is really any better for their efforts. Sweetness and light have not rushed in to fill the void created by the frustration of the gambling instinct.

Wolves Howl Dismally

‘ The wolves of the gambling casings howl dismally gt night in Saratoga, because they are forbidden to fleece their victims. But the sheep themselves are even more mournful and morose, because they may not bare their throats to the friendly fangs of the predatory. * The goose that laid the golden egg is by no means dead, but she is so discouraged that she has quit production. Eggs of that sort were meant to squander. For hatching they are no better than a door knob. Insiders say the present situation is a local issue,

Washington

" WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—If possible, make your ape from these contentious times for a few weeks. a an experience worth while to anyone, although the shock upon returning may be somewhat depress-

ing, as it was to me. : : .When I left Washington at the end of July, this political capital was excited from end to end because John L. Lewis had called Vice President Garner a whisky-drinking, poker-playing, evil old man. That was, SO Washington thought then, one of the events of the year. Perhaps, it was, but I haven't heard! it mentioned since I left town. Go about without learning every day that Mr. Roosevelt is and is not preparing to snatch a third term, without hearing or caring who is running for President, without knowing whether the Nazis have Hungary where they want it, and without knowing whether Hitler is taking Poland. This is not to say those things are unimportant. They are important. We have seen, within the memory of most adults, how a political assastvination in the Balkans 25 years ago eventually reached into our own homes in America. What you see when you return to this contentious world of public affairs is that it is a barbarous, uncivilized world which hangs like an ugly, threatening cloud over human beings who in their everyday life have learned quite satisfactorily the art of civilization. ¢ 2 = :

My Day

HYDE PARK, Monday.—I had a very nice group of visitors here on Saturday. Commander Flanagan brought his two daughters and Miss Hickock and Mr. Harcroft from New York, and a young Oklahoma newspapermad, Mr. Tom Omstead, who has a temporary summer - job in Poughkeepsie, joined us. We all swam and drove around the place and talked hard before and after dinner. One interesting thought came out of the evening’s discussion. It was finally agreed that the unemployment problem is not just in the U. S. A,, but it exists in all the countries in Europe to a reater or lesser degree. The only real difference is in the way we have attacked the problem. : Europe takes care of the greater part of its unemployed either in the armed forces of the nation or in the munitions factories. The people ~ of the country pay for both, especially when there is a war. We, on the other hand, feeling more secure where war is concerned, tried a new method and started public works to take up the slack of unemployment, and these public works can be seen by anyone who takes the trouble to drive around the country.

scene of such chaotic fantasy that you just have to stand there and look till the light is gone. You wouldn’t be surprised to hear flutes. : I don't know why they call it a canyon, for it isn't really a canyon. It’s just a high mesa, and then a sudden drop off into a valley, and then the valley opens out and falls away on the far side to a vast rich plain. It’s a one-sided canyon, that’s what it is. The Park itself is long and narrow, following this rim for some 25 miles. ‘These spectacular formations are up close to the wall. They grow in patches—a patch here and another patch a few miles along. They are like the scattered garden patches of a mountain farmer. The most-used trail is a circular trip to the bottom and back, covering a mile and a half. You are

always urged, of course, to get down there and look):

up. But I must report that it’s crazier and pret-

tier from on top. .

A Case of Exaggeration

It took Ranger Fred Brueck and me three-quarters of an hour to walk this mile and a half trail and

back out again. But the other day a fellow showed up and said he had’ just made it in 15 minutes. The Rangers were skeptical. So the next morning Ranger Brueck and one of his friends decided to try it out. They are both young fellows of college age; athletic, long-winded. They walk hundreds of miles a year, and run skitrails in the winter. They ran all the way to the bottom. They came back up as fast as athletic muscles could pull them. When they got to the top they were absolutely wasned out and done in. And it had taken-them 17 minutes. : Bryce Canyon is named after Ebenezer Bryce, a Mormon cattleman who settled down in the valley, at the edge of the spired tanglework, in 1875. Just before Mr. Bryce died, he was approached to give a description of the canyon. They felt that his close association with it over so many years should bring forth a descriptive phrase that would live with the Park for many years. They were right. Ebenezer thought a long time, and then he said: ® “Well, it’s a tough place to lose a cow.”

but they are very much mistaken. The tides of the age have set against them. An angry and cruel asceticism begins to befog the world. It is no mere accident that Adolf Hitler neither drinks nor spins. In the materialistic setup of the Fascists there is no room for the dreamer who lives to take a fling at hitting numbers on the nose. The man under such a machine is ever at: attention from the moment a gun is first put inte’ his chubby hands until he marches to the grave. Show me a community or a couhtry where all the minor vices are discouraged and ill show you one bereft of major virtues. Naturally, when I speak in kindly fashion about gambling I mean gambling in moderation. They tell me the thing can be overdone.

Their Requests Are Modest

However, not even the most ardent advocate of an opén Saratoga is asking for anything like that. It is generally agreed that in the morning everybody should take the waters. But unless relief of some sort comes I shudder to think of the fate of this fair village. When first I came to Saratoga I used to observe with envy the clear eyes and brisk tread of all those who passed by. And naturally I assumed that this man was the result of clean living and sparkling water. Later I discovered, among the bright-eyed, many who had not "been to bed at all, but had, instead, refreshed themselves by sitting up all night at some one of the casinos. In a wrestling match with chance even the loser comes away all rosy and limber as a result of his exertions. Clean living is the order of the day in Saratoga right now, and the tread of the natives isn’t the least bit springy. - The townsfolk are full of acid. Joy does not rule supreme. In fact, it’s hardly worth a bet for place. Zero has come up for Saratoga.

ing your neighbor too roughly while you are about it. So you do not need to bury yourself in the lonely woods, or take refuge with Thoreau on the solitary shore of Walden Pond. You can find it, as I did, in the thickly populated northeastern part of the United States, over highways swarming with automobile tourists. They may be hot and tired, quite uncomfortable, and the hotel food may not be as good as they enjoy at home.

Man, Master of the Machine

For all that is said of reckless driving, I saw little of it in 2500 miles on the roads in New England and the East. One or two drivers took chances. I saw no accidents, not even a close .call. Among thousands of drivers, a few turned off the road without giving warning. Occasionally a driver came out on the highway without stopping first. Ninety-nine per cent of the traffic was orderly, self-controlled, making its way without endangering others on the road. Men and women of all stations in life were handling highly complicated and dangerous machinery with ease and with respect for the rights of others. If that isu’t civilized conduct, what 1s? Here man has made himself mester of the machine, not its victim. Compare this achievement with Munich. Compare the lowly tin-can tourist, driving on the right side of the road all day, parking along the way at night, putting out his fire to protect other lives and property which he never saw before and will never see again—compare him as a civilized man with the great men of the world who have found no better method. of getting along than to terrorize and shoot - down, first their own people, and then to try the same tactics on other peoples. : There you have the essential difference between civilization and barbarism. Europe's boasted art, architecture, good taste and old wines are the veneer. ‘At the moment the veneer happens to be in the wrong place, but that shouldn’t deceive us. In time we can have some veneer and age, too, and look as pretty as a barbarian.

Both of them cost the taxpayers about an equal amount of money, but one plan leaves something tangible for the good of the nation and eventually is productive of jobs which do not cost the taxpayers money, while the other means a complete loss in the end. Most of us haven't got vision or imagination enough to look at the new programs and make up our minds as to which we prefer. We worry and we worry, but we rarely propose any practical alternatives. Today I started off at 9 a. m. with Mr. Flanagan, Mr. Wagner and Mrs. Mellen to see NYA projects in my own neighborhood. We stopped first at the Hudson River State Hospital, which has been most cooperative and which is a very good place for young people to gain experience at real jobs under workmen who have held them for a long time. We went to the State Agricultural Experiment Station, which, until today, I did not know existed in Poughkeepsie. We visited an abandoned trade school which has been turned over to the NYA progam. Here I was shown a collection of 50 spoons made from different woods found in this vicinity. I carried away a really lovely one made out of pear wood. : Seaplane floats were being built in Poughkeepsie and in Newburgh in preparation for the flight which ‘is to be made next Friday.

WARNS OF PERIL ABROAD FOR U. 8.

Nation Should . Stay Out Of European Tangle, Emmert Says.

The diplomacy of Great Britain and the political intrigues of France constitute strong reasons why the United States should stay out of European affairs, Judge James A. Emmert, Shelbyville, told Indianapolis Rotarians at their luncheon today. Judge Emmert, a contender for the 1940 Republican nomination for Governor, declared this country “has no role to play in the power politics of Europe.” . “The great danger,” he said, “is that 4s the warlike attitudes of Germany, Italy and Russia expand and intl expressioni--on the front pages of our newspapers, we will unconsciously feel drawn to the side of the so-called democratic nations of Europe. ; " “In that tendency lies disaster and disillusion, as it did in 1917, The democracy of France is only a form and the democracy of Great Britain is altogether different from the democracy we know in America.” ; The United States, with certain improvements in its defenses, is safe from attack by any foreign nation or naticns, and, he said, the only danger of becoming “embroiled in war lies in our own sentiment and hysteria.” “The war-mad dictators of Europe,” he told the Rotarians, “view the United States with contempt and hostility. They have no place in their programs for us. And although France and England may profess to be interested in us and propagandize us, this interest is purely selfish.” .

Police Chief Michael Morrissey said signs advising motorists of the reduced downtown parking time will go up this week. The measure becomes effective as soon as Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan signs it, probably tomorrow. Strict enforcement was promised by Chief

Morrissey. Areas Listed

‘Henceforth, it will be illegal to park more than 20 minutes on: The east side of Meridian between Pearl and Washington Sts.; the east side ot Pennsylvania St. between Maryland and Ohio Sts.; on the north side of Washington St. between Delaware and Pennsylvania Sts.; both sides of Virginia Ave. between Delaware and Washington Sts., and both sides of Market St. between Delaware St. and Monument Circle. The measure, regulating dumping, requested by the South Side Civic Club, places the control of all such grounds under the Works Board.

Permit Necessary

Persons seeking to rent or utilize private property as dumps must get a permit from board, subject to zoning restrictions in their respective neighborhoods. The measure to discourage roller derbies by charging a $500 daily license fee will be held in the finance committee at least a month, until some arrangement can be worked out with Butler University trustees, Council members indicated. By failing to pass the ordinance two weeks ago, the Council made it a certainty that there would be no legal obstructions for the roller derby to open at the Fieldhouse Thursday. .

U. S. OPENS SPECIAL DISEASE CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (U. P.)— The U. S.

Surgeon General Thomas Parran said that the venereal ailment “constantly infects” more than 2,000,people in the United States. He explained that the anti-gonorrhea campaign will be an adjunct to the anti-syphilis drive started some time ago. :

SECOND SECTION

I CARRAN SEES

NO POSSIBILITY | OF THIRD TERM

People Against It, He Says, In Addressing Ses~""1 Of Postal Clerks.

There will be no third term in 1940 because the people of the United States are against it, U. S. Senator Patrick A. McCarran (D. Nev.) declared here today. . The silver-haired senator, here to address the 36th national convention

of the Post Office Clerks, refrained from any mention of politics in his speech, but readily discussed national politics outside the convention sessions in the Claypool Hotel. Senator McCarran, one of those who successfully weathered President Roosevelt’s purge, said he was convinced the President is not even thinking of a third term.

‘Believes Custom Will Stand

“Theré’s no use in even talking about a third term,” he declared, “because it isn’t in the offing. Custom and practice has fixed the twoterm tradition in the minds of the people, and no one is going to violate that custom.” He said he could see no reason to make a statement whether he would oppose President Roosevelt: should he attempt to gain the Democratic nomination again because “such a thing isn’t going to happen.” . “I'll support any good Democrat,” he said, and declined to name any favorite candidate. . Senator McCarren said he believed the outstanding achievements of the last Congress were reassertion of independence as “intended by the Constitution” and the passage of the Hatch Bill “which puts a stop to the practice of using the afflictions, hardships and privations of the unemployed to carry out the will of politicians.”

Liked Independent Thinking

He said he was glad. to see Con=gress “doing its own thinking instead of being a rubber stamp’ for the President.” He was accompanied by his wife and two children, Norene and Samuel. They have been visiting the New York World Fair since adjournment of Congress and are going on from here to their home at Reno, Nev. : The senator told the postoffice clerks that he was in favor of a regular salary for postoffice substitutes and that he hoped legislation could be passed during the next Congress which would give the substitutes a “regular pay check.” He commended the clerks for their

only through organized action that they could obtain favorable legislation. :

Clerks’ Questions Answered

C. W. Payne, U, S. Civil Service District Manager from Cincinnati, addressed the convention and answered questions from the clerks in an open forum discussion. United States Senator James Mead from New York addressed the convention yesterday and announced his support for regular pay for substitutes. He declined to talk politics but said he favored a -third term “for persons who believe in higher

ing hours and conditions.” Approximately 600 clerks are attending the convention which will end early Thursday with the election of officers. Senator Sherman Minton is scheduled to address the convention tomorrow.

COLLEGE HOPEFUL BEGINS JAIL TERM

Wohl imposed sentence late yesterday after. rejecting recommendations for probation. by a welfare worker who said Barry had been offered a $30-a-week job by a Milwaukee industrialist.
