Missouri Congressman Sick of His Job

WASHINGTON. — Domination of congress by blocs and the enactment of socialistic legislation are attacked by Representative Henry L. Jost of Kansas City, Mo,, in a statement in which he announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election. Mr. Jost, a Democrat who is serving his first term, said that he had no desire longer to remain a member of a body that was Influenced only by expediency and whose action on measures showed an utter disregard of the public welfare. He added that .he would be glad to yield his place to some Democrat who would assist in reclaiming the nation’s political sanity. Mr. Jost sold that be had received assurances of support for re-election from many of his constituents and that he believed that if he were a candidate he would be unopposed for the Democratic nomination. He has telegraphed uls political as seriates in Kansas City of his decision. His statement reads: ”1 will not file for renomination. Os that I became sure within thirty days after I took my seat, and time and in-

Uncle Sam’s Lively Printing Department

THE capital will talk for some time to come about a public speech made the other night la another city by George 11. Carter. the public printer of the United States, detailing his experiences during the last three years. Corruption, graft, wholesale racetrack gambling and bootlegging flourished unrestrained, he charged, and to “clean up* the government printing office It was necessary to dismiss 268 employees. Including the deputy public printer and the chief clerk, as well aS foremen and minor executives. Mr. Carter uncovered a still in the office of one foreman, he said. A trusted messenger between the government printing office and the capitol was discovered to be bootlegging for members of congress Bootlegging, generally, was an intensively cultivated industry throughout the place. Even boy apprentices were found to be buyers and consumers of Illicit liquor. Race-track gambling became a greater concern than their work to many of the 4,000 employees, Mr. Carter declared. adding that women workers, along with the men, turned over §I,OOO

manship in the recently established “College of Congress," His pupils are the new memt»ers of congress and con-grejwnen-elect and Mr. Page not only is the teacher, but he also uses his own textbook. Os the 129 new members of the present congress, 115 attended the course in statesmanship under Mr. Page. The entire eonrse was completed by the instructor in one evening. at the conclusion of which the professor rewarded his pupils with a buffet luncheon. Mr. Page's lecture occupied less than an hour and a half, the remainder of the evening being spent answering questions of the congressmen. “This is a symposium, rather than a school," Mr, Page told the freshmen members of congress attending nis class. The lecture included a summary of the duties of

Population Increase and Farm Lands

STATINTICIAXS have estimated that the population of the United States, by its natural Increase alone and without any addition from Immigration, will amount to 150.(MMVYib |a*ople shortly after 1950. If there Is any large immigration in the next quarter of a century the 150,000.(MM mark may be reached even earlier. Economists in the Diqmrtment of Agriculture have attempted to estimate roughly what crop and pasture ami forest land will be required to support inch a population. They calculate that If consumption remains on the same per capita basis and production j>er acre is not increased considerably more land will be needed than is available. This conclusion, however, need cause no alarm, because consumption habits will certainly undergo some change, and the average yield per acre of crap and pasture land will undoubtedly be Increased. Assuming that some modifications will be made In consumption habits and pnaluctlon methods, It is figured that only about 3&.<.kXMXn acre*

To Use Planes as Messengers of Mercy

THE first use in peace time of airplanes as messengers of mercy is credited to the United States. According to an arrangement between the government air service and the American Red Cross planes will hereafter be available for carrying trained relief workers, doctors, nurses and supplies to the scene of disaster in the shortest possible time. John Barton Payne, chairman of the Red Cross. Initiated the movement The suggestion was enthusiastically approved by Rear Admiral W. A. Moffett, head of the navy air activities; Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of army air service, and Col. Paul Henderson, second assistant postmaster general, in charge of air mail. Orders have been issued to commanding officers of aviation fields and Station* of the army, navy and Post Office department, placing plane* and pilot* at the service of the Red Cross upon telegraphic approval from manager* of the six Bad Cross divisions at Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Chicago. St Louia and San Francisco.

tervening experience have served but to confirm me in that determination. With congress in the grip of groups and blocs, which legislate and tax solely from consideration of expediency rather than from principle, and with socialism in the ascendancy, I dp not care to continue and sustain the attendant loss of companionship with my family and home friends as well, which would result from further inattention to my professional work. “The present public distemper of the country must run, its course. People will finally realize that prosperity depends upon something else than a legislative fiat, and that nothing but harm can come from any law passed to favor a certain and special class. The sound principles upon which the fathers grounded and prospered this republic are out of fashion now, but ultimately will again be in favor. “I shall be glad to yield this place to some Democrat who has the patience and can afford to help reclaim the political sanity of the natioh.” “ Jost was bom in New York city in 1873. He is a lawyer and was mayor of Kansas City, 1912-16.

a day to the bookmakers for bets. Many women employees were kept constantly penniless by their almost’daily losses. One woman confessed she had mortgaged her home and lost all in her- desire to win a fortune on the tracks. Mr. Carter produced copies of tele grams to support his charge that the gambling mania had enfolded high executives of the printing office. These messages between various tracks and individuals in the printing office were received over a wire in the government establishment operated by a government employee. For the most part, the telegrams were tips on the races, and were addressed to a. former deputy public printer, and former chief clerk. Mr. Carter said he found them among important government records in the official files of the printing office. He also charged that be found “a secret oath-bound clique and Invisible klan” in the office, which had succeeded for years in dominating the operation of the printing office, padding the pay rolls and forcing nonunion workers by the “silent treatment” to either Join the union or give up their Jobs.

und other matters relative to tbelr work> in Washington. The questions asked by the new members of congress are indicative of some of the “tricks of the trade of being a congressman.” One congressman wanted to know the franking privileges granted members of congress. He was told of a former representative who sent to his home on a frank a Shetland pony; others who shipped pianos, trunks, furniture and many other articles. "Is the mileage the same for all?” asked Pedro Guevara, the new commissioner from the Philippines. He was void the two commissioners from the Philippines each receive $2,000 mileage a year for traveling expenses. The Alaskan delegate gets $1,500 a year; the commissioner from Porto Rico is allowed actual traveling expenses, and the delegates from Hawaii and congressmen from the 48 states each receive 20 cents a mile one way from their homestand Washing ton.

need be added to the present actual crop land to supjwrt 150.000,00 d persons. That addition would suffice for domestic consumption, moreover, and still leave us half the present acreage to devote to production for export. The experts figure that the total area of land ne**ded to sustain a population of 150.0u0.000 with no greater relative dependence on Imports than exists now would be 408,000.000 acres. Some changes in consumption would be ne*-essary to make this area suffice. In food consumption It Is thought the principal change would be in the use of live stock products. i There are available a little more than 600,000.000 acres of potential crop land from which to choose the additional 33.000.0U0 acres of crop land estimated to be required for a population of 154.000,000. Allowing for an area of forest land equal to the present forest area, there remains nearly 400,060.000 acres which constitute an are* of potential crop land..

The two-seater airplanes in general use will carry pilot, one passenger and 300 pounds of supplies at 125 miles an hour. In sections of the so-called “flood region” the navy flying boat* will be utilised, this type of craft making landings in shallow water. .Another innovation has unified vn-d«-r a staff of expert* at Washington headquarters the nation-wide direction ,'f disaster relief operations by the Red Cross. This new system places the staff tn constant contact and cooperation with government agencies using equipment adaptable for use in disasters. The system will cover the country's vast network of railroads, and is particularly well prepared for quicr action in sections frequently visited by tornadoes and floods, and all strategical points- which minimize the time element in relief aid are marked for activity. The new organization 1* called the Red Cross mobile disaster relief unit. It 1* directed by Henry M. Baker, for many yean engaged in disaster relief work tn the Southwest,

f Building OUR TOWN We want our town to grow to be The city that our fathers dreamed; A city known from sea to sea. The better known the more esteemed. We want to build a city great. Yet greater than our city now; Through every hour of changing fate We want our town to grow—but how? We want our town to grow—but not In numbers only—only sixe; Our population is not what Shall make us mighty, make us wise; Now naught our Nineveh and Tyre, Where huddled thousands used to dwell.

A better wealth, a better boast; In song. In soul. In sympathy. In love of good, in hate of sin. In loyalty, in unity, We want our town to grow—and win. And then we want to grow without.

Orbick. iSa Ugliness an Expensive Luxury for Any Town There is a common belief that certain forms of ugliness have a commercial value. The existence of cheap buildings, gaudy signs and shoddiness In general about a city is due as much to the idea of economy or profit as to bad taste. But ugliness is a drag on any city, on the individual as well as the community. It thrusts itself into the daily life of the inhabitants; it intrudes upon the visitor and leaves no opportunity for pleasant impressions. One ugly spot or unsightly object may block the effectiveness of beauty in a dozen places nearby. Many cities are realizing that ugliness is expensive and wasteful, according to Andrew Wright Crawfortl. a member of the art Jury of Philadelphia. Mr. Crawford declares that Philadelphia and several other cities of the country are planning to replace public buildings, the principal reas<m being that the are ugly. He declares that an art Jury or commission, composetl of individuals competent to pass judgment,on the artistic features of any public structure, may save cities good sums of annually. In one year the Philadelphia jury, for example, recommended changes in designs of about a dozen structures with a saving of more than $40,000. Plan for Motorcar Cities of the future must be planned for the motorcar or there will be bediajn and confusion that will make nearly every metropolis in the country a babel of traffic congestion, according to the warning of a traffic expert recently. who declared that although automobiles are increasing in number at the rate of 25 per cent every year, little or nothing is being done to meet the situation. City fathers were urged to look ahead and prepare for conditions as they must he five or ten years from now. In larger cities the arterial traffic system, under which several of the prominent streets leading from the business area are made Into through thoroughfares, was advocated. together with parking spaces under buildings anil in subways. An entirely new grouping of business buildings, spreading them out into wider areas, was also recommended as a poosttrte aid to the solution of the traffic problem in the larger cities of the country. —Popular Mechanics Magazine. Consult Good Architect The man of affairs does not question the advisability of having an architect plan his home, for exi>erience fias taught him that successful things must first he conceived in a mind fitted to create them. Brains and study make practical plans, not accident or fancy. There are still a few people who have the notion that architecture can be practiced by anyone, and we often hear them remark that they planned their own home without any professional help. Thanks to the growth of good ta«te. though, we are learning that such desirable Intellectual qualities in the home as charm, beauty, simplicity, personality, can be put there only hy men having well-trained natural talent for architectural expression. Not any Smith. Jones, or Good Citizen, however much he may know of building or plumbing, can design a successful home for architecture Is more than building, and good planning is. more than convenient Life. Community Meetings School buildings and equipment In Jackson. Mich., are open to use hy the public for community purposes and the auditoriums and gymnasiums are in constant use in the evenings. Two of the intermediate schools are regularly used by six basketball teams for practice and match games. Twentytwo other organizations, including eight boy scout troops, hold their meetings in the gymnasiums bf the elementary schools, while lectures, concerts and other entertainments are frequently given in the auditorium.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Should Use Swamp-Root Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble ia so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation, send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. ¥., for a sample bottle.
