Hoosier Vagabond
: EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 4—Dr. A. J. Knapp hasn't been out of bed for two years, but he thoroughly enjoys life. He enjoys life because it was alWays interesting to him, and still is. He'll be 87 next month. : Dr. Knapp’s life has been packed with remarkable things. He was born in Ohio, and always wanted to be a doctor. But his banker-father said, “No, you shan’t. I know 15 doctors, and not one of them is worth more than 50 cents on the dollar at the bank. I dong want any 50-cents-on-the-dollar people in this family.” # So Dr. Knapp didn’t become 3a doctor until after he was married and had |two children. But since then he has made doctors out of : countless| relatives and friends, and they're all worth more than 50 cents on the dollar, too. i Young Knapp had a Brace for making money, and he still has it. He doesn’t ¢are much for money, for he is a scholar and a philosopher at heart, but he just always enjoyed seizing opportunity’s forelock and givng it a twist. “But I've worked like hell, too,” he says. When he was a child there was a bad drought in Ohio, and the farmers had to a their sheep by the thousand. So Master Knapp went around and bought up the sheepskins at 25 cents each, and sold them for 90 cents. The first day he made $75 profit. He started teaching school when he was 16, just out of the ‘eighth grade. He didn’t want to teach school, but was badgered into it. There was a school full of big tough boys in an adjoining county, and they had thrown the last three teachers out the window. People said young Knapp was afraid to go over there. So he went and taught six years. and nobocy threw him out of any windows, He carried a club.
Studied in Europe
Then he went West, On the Dakota plains he saw all those buffalo bones blanketing the prairies. He got off at Bismarck and sent a few telegrams back to Eastern fertilizer manufacturers. Two days later he had a string of wagons stretched as far as you could see, gathering buffalo bones. He paid 6 cents a pound, and sold them for 12!2 cents. Finally he decided to go to medical school. He arrived in Nashville, Tenn., with his wife and two

children, and not a cent of money. But he supported them, paid his way in school, and at the end of the first year had $500 cash in his pocket. He went on to New York to school, and then to Berlin, Vienna, Heidelberg, Edinburgh. He knows Etirope well. He isn’t worried about the war. &e says civilization will survive. . Dr. Knapp came to Evansville 50 years ago. He has done some really great things in medicine, but it bores him to talk about them now. He'd rather tell bhuffalo-bone stories. iA In 1902 he planted a lot of peonies around the big old-fashioned house where he still lives. Within three years he made more from his peonies than his house and lot cost So he started buying land. He bought farms in Tennessee, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Indiana. All raising peonies. Soon he was making more out of peonies than out of medicine. He is still at it today. He grows more peonies than anybody else in the world. Twice a week his farm men come in to his bedside, and he tells them what he wants done. : Likes Young People Dr. Knapp practiced medicine until 12 years ago. He quit at 75, just because he got tired of it. Two years ago he was struck down with apoplexy, which paralyzed his right side. But right up to the time of his stroke he was traveling 53,000 miles a year by car. Today Dr. Knapp lies on a hospital bed in what was once the “parlor” of his 68-year-old house. His “family” consists of two young ladies he took under his wing a few years ago. One of them, Marie, is combination nurse, cook, housekeeper, secretary and business manager of the peony farms. He keeps three pipes on the table, and alternates them. He wakes at 6, and turns on the radio. He reads the newspapers daily. He eats well, and occasionally has a fiendish yearning for some special dish. The day I saw him’ it happened to be buckwheat cakes and jelly. Dr. Knapp loves to talk, and there is nothing old or feeble about his thinking. Old friends often visit him, but he likes young people better. He says he does get lonesome now and then, but when he does he just goes to sleep. He has promised to spend his spare time the next few days trying to think up some trick way for me to make some easy money, I hope he doesn’t suggest buffalo bones.
Inside Indianapolis (And “Our Town’)
WHEN PEOPLE start falking about national defense and industry's part fin it and things like that, we like to think about one of our local concerns— Marmon-Herrington—as the real leader of them all. For the Marmon-Herrington Co. built Army trucks. withouti a single advance order and without ever asking the Government for a dime. Col. A. W. Herrington and his associates just decided| to take the gamble and did. And they had started to expand their plant for mass production work long before the U.S. ever thought of asking industry to get a move on. The company was founded nine "years ago ‘in the depths of the depression. The first truck it built was delivered to the Army. The Colonel worked out a plan to convert Ford trucks into dependable. useful and practicat all-wheel-drive vehicles but the Army had no money to encourage his efforts. It might have scared a lesser crew, but not M-H. They just went ahead and developed a commercial business and the few trucks the Army did buy were thorougnly tested in every way. y the end of this year, there will be thousands of M-H converted all-wheel-drive trucks in Army service and no serious bottlenecks in sight. You've got to hand it to ‘em.

Washi gt ASHEVILLE, N. C., Oct. 4—Government is steadily becoming a larger employer of labor. TVA is the largest employer in the South. New Government power projects will bring more industrial labor to the public payroll. As the Government becomes increasingly an industrial employer, it runs the risk of having some of the same kind of labor headaches that have plagued private industry. Labor also has cause for concern because, as Willkie has said, Lt the spread of Government as an : employer in Europe has led to the t enslavement of labor It is a ticklish business and has given some in the Government much cause for thought. Particularly has David E. Lilienthal of TVA been concerned about this. He has had five years’ experience as the largest employer in the South. Lilienthal has worked out the first contract between the Government and union labor and hopes the plan will become a cornerstone in building smooth labor relations between the Government as an employer and union labor. . Lilienthal drew on his experience when as a cub lawyer he joined the law office of Donald R. Richberg,
then in Chicago, and helped him draft the Railway .
Mediation Act. The concepticn was Richberg’s, and Lilienthal regards. the passage of that act as a mile= stone in labor legislation. The new TVA labor contract, with a group of A. F. of L. unions, is the blood descendant of the Railway Mediation Act, Lilienthal
says. | :
Meeting the Strike Issue
The [first difficulty is that of the right to strike. The Railway Mediation Act provides a series of cool ing-off stages which, while not denying the right to strike, in effect almost remove the likelihood of a walkout by making it extremely difficult to close the door on mediation. The immense interest in uninterrupted operation of the railroads dictated that policy The use of the strike against the Government as an employer would be intolerable but it was difficult
My Day
NAHANT, Mass, Thursday.—Yesterday proved to be a delightful day for driving. Though it clouded up once or twice, the sky was blue and the sun was not <0 bright as to tire my eyes. We drove back on the north side of the cape and went to Mattapoisett to see Mrs Charles Hamlin. It was a coincidence that, as I hesitated, wondering which lane led down to her house, two kindly looking people stood on the corner. The lady came forward and said she would like to shake hands with me, since she was from Boston and with her husband was ardently supporting the President.
When I told Mrs. Hamlin of the.
incident, remarking that I imagined there were rather few people I would find with the same feeling thereabouts, she said: «They are almost the only summer people who feel that way.” We only had a short time with Mrs. Hamlin, but she showed us the havoc the storm had wrought two years ago and described so vividly the mountainous waves, that I could really imagine what it had been , like. | When I left the hotel in Provincetown yesterday morning, the maid came dashing up with a jar-of « peach plum jelly. This jelly, I think, is very delicious
“Well” said the voice, “please get one for me and write—'Cannot be there. Will write later.” The caller then gave (the druggist the name and address to send it to and added that her husband would stop in later to pay for the card and stamp. Well, it's a sale, isn't it?
What, No Plum?
A SMILING and obviously hopeful young man strode briskly into the Mayor's office the other day. “How about that job my committeeman- told me about—driving a City Hospital ambulance?” he asked Russell Campbell, Hizzoner's secretary. “Oh, you'll have to go out to City Hospital to see about that,” answered Mr. Campbell, - «The young man looked not quite so hopeful and more than a little puzzled. He gturned to go and stopped. “Where's that?” he asked. Completely qualified, eh?

to induce labor to say so on the dotted line. The labor contract hetween TVA and the unions did, however, meet the issue, Labor agreed in the contract that the public interest in an undertaking such as TVA is “always ‘paramount.” Further the Council of Labor Unions agreed to this language: “The Council or its member organizations will not encourage or sanction employees leaving the service” during the consideration of any issue between TVA. and its employees. That, insofar as the labor organizations can speak for their men, is a promise not to pull a strike. Disputes are to be considered by boards of adjustment. and if necessary by a referee whose decision is final. That is in effect compulsory arbitration. TVA recognizes the collective-bargaining rights of the Wagner act, Furthermore it gives labor some voice in management by providing for joint co-opera-tive councils. These, consisting of representatives of both TVA and employees, are to consider matters. of waste in construction and production, conservation of materials, improvement in quality of workmanship, apprentice training, correction of grievances, and working hazards,
Pattern for the Future
Under the law TVA cannot delegate authority, but recommendations of the co-operative councils are to be reférred to the appropriate officers of either labor
' or management for action.
The Labor Council, on its own, adopted resolutions pledging co-operation to obtain 100 per cent production and to root out “every form of sabotage and subversive influence.” . This agreement represents an advance in: labor relations. Also it answers those who regard Government control of industrial operations as meaning either dictatorial or Communistic control. Willkie is pledged to contirue public power operations. if elected. The Government is in the public utility business to stay. Nobody knows what other industrial business it will be in before the defense program is completed. It is building armor-plate plants, for instance. Lilienthal is not a bit too soon in seekIng a pattern for labor relations that will protect the Dani interest and at the same time give protection 0 labor.

and 1 was delighted to take it home to yse on very special occasions. I stopped long enough in Plymouth for Miss Thompson to improve her education by a glimpse of Plymouth Rock. We both agreed that this is a very small stone for our forefathers to have put sc much dependence and we are glad that what now remains of it is well protected. An energetic young man overtook us and suggested that we come up to see the old First Church, but I had done all my real sightseeing some years ago and was anxious to reach Nahant as early as possible. Driving through Boston has always seemed to me a little confusing, but we went through yesterday with great ease because of the direction of a kindly garage
man, plus a map of the city. We reached Nahant at
4:15 and a little later we had tea with my youngest grandson holding court on the sofa. He behaved very well and seemed to know at once thet we were old friends. The only person whose nose i a little out of joint is Percy, the dachshund, who for Your years held the center of the stage and now is obliged to share it. John could not reach home until late, for they had a sale today at his branch store. He certainly enjoys his business and, after all, that is the most important element in all work we undertake. This morning we left after the baby had his bath and are now on our way back to Hyde Park over the Mohawk Trail where the colors seen at their best,

EXPAND FIGHT ON MOUNTING TRAFFIC TOLL
State, County and City Join In Concerted Safety Drive; Deaths at 708.
With the state, county and city traffic death tolls at all-time highs and still mounting, an accident prevention campaign was expanded on three fronts today. State Police, the Marion County Sheriff and the Accident Prevention Bureau of .the Police Department
joined forces for greater highway
and street vigilance, more rigid enforcement and appeals for precaution. All had the same answer for the] growing death list: Increased traffic. The state already has counted 708 dead against 619 the same period last year. ? The county has listed 100 deaths aganist 68 at this.time a year ago. The city recorded 63 of those 100 fatalities against 42 at the same time a year ago.
Enforcement Spurred
State Police Superintendent Donald F. Stiver ordered his forces to increase their vigilance and enforcement, especially on the most heav-ily-traveled highways. In the vicinity of Indianapolis these included Roads 37, 40, 52 and: 81. : The State Police also pledged assistance to Sheriff Al Feeney, who pleaded that he has an undermanned force to patrol roads. State partolmen will help convoy school busses in the county. The Sheriff has only three avdilable men. to convoy 95 busses. i While school busses have not been involved in accidents, the Sheriff has taken all precautions to prevent them. Every driver has submitted lists of traffic hazards on his route.
Hazards Are Listed
These include narrow, rutty roads, ditches at the shoulders, mail boxes too close to the road, high hedges which border the road and scrape the sides of busses, endangering children’s eyes, and tall corn and
ners. 5 Sheriff Feeney said he has been pledged the co-operation of farmers and land owners to eliminate the hazards. i The Sheriff said that traffic has increased greatly in suburban areas where there are industries which have increased their forces. To handle traffic near these plants he plans to deputize about a half dozen plant policemen at each industry. He explained that unless they were deputized, their jurisdiction did not extend beyond the fences. «of No ‘Most. Dangerous’ Spot:
Capt. Leo Troutman of the Accident Prevention Bureau was alarmed that accidents are occurring in all parts of the city, necessitating the patrolling of a greater area. He said that a “spot map” failed to reveal any places where accidents were most prevalent and where vigilance could be concentrated in that event.
MAN, WIFE LEAVING TAXI HIT BY THUGS
A man and his wife were slugged and beaten today by two thugs who attacked them as they started into their home at 513 N. New Jersey St. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gleason, the victims, told police they had just alighted from a taxi when the men came up and attempted to take Mrs. Gleason's purse. Mr. and Mrs. Gleason received lacerations when they resisted. They were sent to the City Hospital.
HEARING ON MILK
Eight North Central States Barred From Shipping Sweet Cream to N. Y.
A midwestern hearing at Chicago will be asked on the proposed amendment to the Department of Agriculture’s milk marketing order which bars the shipment of sweet cream from eight North Central dairy states to the New York area. William E. Treadway, secretary of the Indiana Committee on Interstate Co-operation, said representatives of the eight states felt that a hearing should be held in the area vitally affected by the order. The request for the Chicago hearing is to be made next week in. New York state where three hearings on the amendment are to be held at Syracuse, New York City and Albany. > The amendment is sought by the eight states to abolish the barriers set up by the order against sweet cream from this area. The order which went into effect May 1 is already estimated to have caused Indiana dairymen to lose thousands of dollars worth of business. —c EG

BARRIER SOUGHT {
The new town of Leavenworth ,.. out of reach of Ohio River floods.
By EARL RICHERT F you're one of those persons who likes two things for the.price of one, you probably would enjoy a 342-mile trip suggested by the State Conservation Department as “seasonally
* perfect now” for Indianap-
olis motorists. The trip—which would take the motorist southwest to the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial at Lincoln City, east to Corydon, the first ‘state capital, and back to Indianapolis past Brown County —offers the maximum in scenery
and points of historical interest. The ideal way for a family to make| the trip, department officials say, would be to start Saturday noon and spend the night at some point along the route. This would give the family plenty of time to visit all points of interest. The trip could be made easily in one |day, however, but there wouldn’t be much time for visite ing. The route recommended is to take Road 37 southwest from Indianapolis to Bedford; Road 50 west from Bedford to Loogootee; Road: 45 south from Loogootee to Dale, and Road 345 from Dale south to the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial and Lincoln State Park at Lincoln City. It is 147 miles from Indianapolis to Lincoln City. On the return trip, take Road 162 from Lincoln City east through Santa Claus to junction with Road 62; take Road 62 east through the new town of Leavenworth and on into Corydon. ‘a #2 8 ROM Corydon take Road 135 directly north past the Brown County State Park, through Nashville and on into Indianapolis. There is a short detour on this road between Vallonia and
Brownstown, but the detour is reported to be in good shape. On the first part of the trip,
between Bloomington and Bed-.
ford, the motorist will see some of Indiana's biggest limestone quarries. West of Shoals on Road 50 there is a roadside park that offers an “exceptional” view overlooking White River Valley. The roadside park has picnic tables and stoves. A short distance south of Dale, amid the rolling wooded hills of Spencer County, the motorist finds the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial and across the road the Lincoln State Park, Indiana's tribute to the Great Emancipator and his mother. Within the memorial area is located the grave of Mrs. Lincoln and a marker designating the site of the cabin where the Lincoln family "lived for 14 years—from 1816 to 1830.

New Pattern Is Needed to Save Democracy

It is a commonplace to say that it is up to us—the United States —to ‘preserve democracy in the world,” now that it has practically collapsed out of Europe. But I think our Job is bigger than merely preserving a form of government. There is to be a drastic ; read j ustment. Nobody — anywhere — is going to live just as he lived before. There is going to be a new pattern, and we have the chance to blueprint that pattern. And it has got to be a new pattern. Otherwise we shall land-—later —just where this one has
Stewart landed the rest Edward White of the world.
History has conducted itself on the basis of self-preservation, with the accompanying greed, indifference to the other fellow, hatreds, cruelties and treacheries to carry out that scheme of things. We have fatuously returned to that basis every time we have been jarred away from it by catastrophe, though mere selfpreservation is no longer the vital issue. And our devotion to it has obscured for us the two underpinning truths on which this “democracy” we talk about depends. The creator is more important than the thing-created, no matter what it is. When the thing-
created is made more important,
you have totalitarianism. Now we have this job of “preserving. democracy” and redesigning the pattern for life simply because originally our republic was laid down pretty much in accord with those two principles. Originally. We have backslid somewhat, especially lately. We have been exalting the thing-created at the expense of the creator. It has not taken us many years to build that golden calf, but the things we are beginning to sacrifice to it are the slow growth of age long struggle. Such simple things as sacredness of promise; sense of morai obligation; ordinary veracity; personal integrity; individual liberty: elementary justice—what we call the homely virtues, spiritual values. And by just that much we are turning totalitarian, no matter what we call ourselves. Democracy is not a form of, government; it is a pattern for government. Lately we
have been forgetting that. Never- |
theless, most of the old stanchness is still intact. We can do the job. But not on
the old material basis that has |
collapsed—each day for itself and devil take tomorrow—man made for the thing he fashions, including government. . All of which is the practical
