FARM STRIKE ON; PICKETS ARE OUT Most Active in lowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. Omaha. Neb. —Western lowa's militant striking farmers drew up their battle lines, stretched them tight across the highways leading into Council Bluffs and hence to the Omaha live stock market. The picketing army, all of its members recruited from the ranks of the Farmers’ Holiday association, began its work a few minutes after a secret meeting of the Pottawattamie County association had ended at Crescent, lowa. Soon afterward a group of 134 farmers at Oakland, lowa, began stopping trucks there and halted 20 within a short time. George Darrington, spokesman for the 230 farmers at the Crescent meeting, said the farmers would supply communities with needed foodstuffs. Many of the 250 joined the picket line. The farmers were quiet but forceful in their picketing work and truckers were warned that if they were stopped a second time it might be “bad for them.” Drivers were informed that the holiday men had placed checkers at the Omaha yards and that action would be taken by the association against those who succeeded in running their loads into Omaha. Sioux City, lowa.—Farm holiday delegates from lowa, Nebraska and South Dakota met here and adopted a resolution calling for the establishment of concentration points where farm products can be sold on a cost of production basis, not, as often happens^below that level. With the cry, “This is war. nothing less,” the farmers decided without official vote to resort to picketing. Ten counties from northwest lowa, northeast Nebraska, and southeast South Dakota were presented. It was decided by a motion that milk would be allowed to go through the picket lines until it was determined what action would be taken at Chicago, Des Moines and Omaha. Kankakee, Ill.—A group of Illinois farmers, estimated to number 2,000, voted here to join the anti-selling campaign. The action came after they had listened to Milo Reno of Des Moines, president of the National Farmers’ Holiday association. The farmers, who met under the auspices of the United Farmers of Illinois, ; adopted a resolution asserting they would refuse to market farm produce for less than the cost of production. They named a committee to work out strike plans. Wausau, Wis.—About 100 farm strike pickets Invaded the Laabs cheese plant at Milan and dumped 10,000 pounds of milk from vats. The strikers then entered stores and demanded provisions, but left without further disorders. Timber was piled on roads leading to milk bottling plants at Stratford. WASHINGTON BRIEFS President Roosevelt appointed Joseph B. Keenan assistant attorney general succeeding Pat Malloy, resigned. Notice of Idaho's action in ratifying the twenty-first or repealing amendment was received at the State department. A total of 28 repeal ratifications have been so recorded. President Roosevelt was asked In a letter from the Women’s International league to initiate and support federal anti-lynching legislation in the coming session of congress. • Bishop Jankos S. Freeman of Washington cathedral invited friends and former associates of Woodrow Wilson to attend the annual memorial services in honor of the war President at Bethlehem chapel Armistice day. Machinery set up for the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment withstood its first assault in the Supreme court when that body refused to consider an attack on the method of ratification adopted by the Missouri state legislature. A new threat of land speculation I In the vicinity of large projects to be financed with federal funds brought 1 a sharp attack on “land sharks” from Secretary Ickes of the Interior department. Havana Stores Close; Paralyze Commerce Havana. —Commerce in Havana was paralyzed as one store after another joined in the ••political strike” inaug- 1 •'rated by opponents of the government. All important department stores were closed but food stores were making an effort to do business. < Plague Kills Student Columbia, Mo. — James Maurice i Clark, nineteen.

/A National Topics Interpreted XJ vOw* by William Bruckart

Washington.—lt is a scant two months until congress will be back here in the National What Will Capital, and each Congress Do ? day the inevitable question, “what will congress do?” is heard more and more. And when one considers the troubles of the day, it is difficult to avoid the conviction; there seems to be ample reason for wondering what congress will do! In the minds of Washington observers, as far as I have been able to learn their views, little doubt remains that President Roosevelt will have a highly nervous and bull-headed congress on his hands. It appears certain the senators and representatives are not going to be so tractable as they were from March to June in the extraordinary session. It is equally certain that the members will come back from the hustings filled with a lot of new ideas, champing at the bit, eager to do things, demanding that things be done this way or that. Indeed, I think it can be said that Mr. Roosevelt is going to have both hands full, and if he pulls the reins in successfully controlling congress, he will have demonstrated that he is not only a master politician but a super-poli-tician. It is a test, beyond the shadow of a doubt, and a supreme test in every sense of the word. Just stop and think of the situation: . there is as much uncertainty in business as there was this time last year; •there are fresh threats from labor; continuing threats from numerous agricultural sections; saber rattling from abroad, cries about the burden of taxation yet dire need for more money for -the federal government, pressing social and political problems following repeal of prohibition, demands for relief for tire farmer, for the debtor, for the unemployed, and generally speaking, some new crop of troubles every day. It is to be remembered, too, that every time congress convenes for a new session, its members have come back to Washington filled to the brim with problems, pet or general, from a particular section or state. It is thus quite natural that in this circumstance, there will be partisans supporting everyone of the various questions I have set down- And don’t forget, those senators and representatives will make themselves heard! They have never failed at that job, heretofore, and there are no signs indicating they will fail this time. • • • What the result will be, no one can do more than guess. There are certain phases of the Faith in advance showing of Roosevelt thp however, ' which I hear discussed. and I am going to relate some of them in the hope that a better understanding of forthcoming conditions may be had. In the first instance, the records fail to show many Presidents who have had popular faith behind them to the extent of that accorded Mr. Roosevelt. He has caught the public imagination and. although he has some bitter critics and will have more, there seems to be no doubt that he has a rather solid base from which to begin his tight. Next, the country as a whole will listen to that which the President says. Individuals may disagree with him and may oppose him in his programs and policies, but they will read what he has to say or listen to him on the radio. That is an advantage of great importance, since he has the audience. In the case of senators or representatives. except among a few of the real leaders, a limited group of followers will read what he says or listen to his mouthings, but generally there is the tendency to read a headline and say “it’s just Congressman Ump-ta-ump" and read the next column. In other words, it takes a pretty big man to compete with the President of the United States. In the next place, there is an election facing all of the members of the house of representatives and one-third of the senators, and every day that any one of them balks on Presidential plans, he is just one day nearer the polls. If need be, you know, the President can let it be known that the individual congressman or senator is not wanted, and the cantankerous gentleman or lady member has something to worry about. In few instances can they win individually; they must have party support. So, the President can hold that club, ready to swing. I am told he has let it drop gently in several places already, but that is outside of this discussion and constitutes purely local party differences. Besides these, fyw senators or representatives have the courage to defy the President openly on the floor of their chamber if the President be of their own party. That is the record. Since the President usually is of the party in control of congress, the bills of local importance do not travel far j along the legislative pathway when I they are sponsored by one who. has ' jumped over the party traces. The others won't trade with him. • « * These things I have mentioned are things that happen in normal times, i normal both politic.illy and econonti- j rally. But the discussion heard these da\s gives rise to doubt whether nor- I mal rules will be followed. Hence, | the question: “What will congress i that Mr. Roosevelt already has antlcipated much of the trouble that will ' arise after congress convenes in Janu- i firv i’prtsinlv the consensus here is that he ; is built a hard surfaced, all- 1 has gone along. He is at the wheel \

The walls of the National Press club, that famous rendezvous of writers and those who like to asLiquor soci at e with the Question fourth estate, in Washington, is replete with cartoons and sketches. They are the work of the best of the profession who present the ideas of news and conditions visually. Among them is a cartoon depicting a beer keg personified. It carries the caption: "Don’t make a fool of yourself!” The cartoon was drawn just after three-point-two beer was legalized. But. while the cartoon was directed to beer and beer drinkers, some of the officials of the present administration have taken the thought most seriously in its application to the general liquor question. As a result, they are now engaged in studies by which they hope to make it impossible for hard liquor to make a fool of itself when it comes back for legal sale, probably in time for Christinas celebrations. Under Secretary Acheson, of the treasury, tells me that it is one of the most delicate problems with which he has had to deal. It involves social questions of far-reaching consequences ; it touches vital spots in the government financial situation because of the probable revenue from liquor taxes and besides these it still remains a political issue despite the overwhelming sentiment for repeal that has been shown. Mr. Acheson pointed out how all of these questions were interlinked, and that fact has not made their solution easier. For instance, he suggested that the committee of representatives from several departments of the government were searching for a proper tax level. If the rate of tax were too high, it would make liquor cost more than most consumers would be willing to pay. The result most certainly would be return of a large number of bootleggers, from whom the government would get tax only when it caught them. If the rate were too low, the legalization of liquor would have netted nothing, for one thing to be said in its behalf is that it will produce revenue for a government sorely needing it. If the federal tax rate be too high, also, there would be little of the possible tax left for assessment by the states, and they need taxes as well. Further, a tax rate too high would naturally react against the sale of the raw materials used in distilling liquor and force those prices down. Such a rate obviously would hurt the farmers who grow so much of the raw materials. * Besides these tax questions, there is still another. Mr. Acheson suggested that to get the maximum revenue, the committee is looking around to determine what the difference in rates should be on wines and beer as distinguished from whiskys and the highpowered stuff. • • « Under the new amendment, the repealer, it is hoped by government leaders that there No End of can be a measure Problems of contr ° l seised that will rid the country of saloons to some extent. There certainly is sentiment for distribution only in packages. That, however, is up to the states, but the federal government nevertheless is studying the question. Practical problems of the liquor trade likewise must be considered, and there are any number of legal questions that must be ironed out. As an example of the legal problems. I am told that while it is natural to suppose repeal will take away the foundation of the Volstead enforcement act, there are nevertheless a good many provisions of it which can stand by themselves. Congress had authority to enact them even though the main features of the enforcement code must fail when the Eighteenth amendment becomes just a matter of history. This condition obtains with respect to numerous other laws, including the so-called Webb-Kenyon act, which for years has prohibited shipment of liquor into states where prohibition is operative. It was predicated on powers of congress to regulate interstate commerce as were several other pieces of legislation dealing with the liquor traffic. The committee working under Mr. Acheson is going to the bottom of the questions and ought to be ready to make a report to the President within the next few weeks. Mr. Roosevelt wants all of the data so that he can advise congress what he thinks ought to be done just as soon as it convenes. Otherwise, the federal government will be unable to do anything about liquor control for a good long time. * * ♦ Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator, is having his troubles with some of the writers and , observers in the Capital. He has refused to admit one of them, a trade magazine representative and business adviser, to his press conferences and has "blacklisted” another who for a long time has served business with a weekly “letter” of opinion and conclusion respecting government affairs. Each case seemed to have had its origin in frank statements by the individual concerned about General Johnson’s policies. The general did not like it. He retaliated. The result has been prolonged, and sometimes quite bitter, discussion of the general’s attitude. One hears remarks to the effect that the general’s nerves are frayed from overwork and other remarks that the general “can’t take it,” as well as in defense of his position. Since his action struck pretty close to : the whole new-paper corps, it appears to me that it will not he allowed to die down as quickly as the general €. 1933. Western Newspaper Union.

NEW JERSEY ' - ~ »"■ > i : i" * * The Boardwalk, Atlantic City.

I Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, 1). C.—WNU Service. BARNEGAT light house, hard hit by the recent hurricane which swept the Atlantic coast, will be saved, according to reports from the New Jersey capital. The state board of commerce ami navigation will ask for $12,000 of state funds to protect the light. Although Barnegat is a famous landmark of the state. New Jersey is more widely known, particularly among Americans in playful mood, because it | is the state in which Atlantic City is situated. All the great treks of history—the Persians under Xerxes, the Huns under Attila, the Moslems under Mohammed 11, the "Golden Horde" of Tatars, the Norman invasion, and the Crusades—shrink to thin ranks when measured against Atlantic City's 12,000,000 annual visitors. All the population of a nation like Argentina or Canada, or almost twice the population of the Australian continent, pilgrimaging in a few months to a strip of sand ten miles long ami a half to three-quarters of a mile wide! Less than one hundred years ago Atlantic City was a nameless cluster of fishermen's huts on Absecon island. Then came rails from Philadelphia, and the first excursion train. July 1. 1854. Its 500 passengers taxed the pioneer resort. But what would its early innkeepers say now If they could see Atlantic City receiving 500 visitors every minute during 12 hours of a July Fourth or Labor day week-end! The fumed Boardwalk begins at the Inlet and parallels the ocean shore for seven miles through Atlantic City, and the adjoining municipalities of Ventnor and Margate City. Not all of Atlantic City's 12,000.000 annual vis Itors swim, sail, fish, or take part In the other amusements the resort affords, but all of them walk, or ride In a rolling chair, along this Incom- i parable Boardwalk. On the Boardwalk. To-day's Boardwalk is a giant high j way, as wide as a boulevard, carried j on high concrete pillars and steel beams. Sixty miles north it is almost . equaled in the Anbury Park board- I walk, and many other New Jersey re- i ! sorts imitate it. What a paradox this Boardwalk pre ! sents! Often it is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the woild. Yet in I j that very bustle is leisure. Something reminiscent of the eoun- I try fair is here. On a pier a dozen j haggard couples dance a marathon. । shuffling around a waxed floor for ; ; more than 2,bO> hours. Com ent ion | ; delegates crowd a mammoth audito- , rium. A flagpole sitter braves the sun ; , and wind ami storms night and day j for weeks. Salt-water-taffy machines | flick out morsels before your eyes. A 1 Boardwalk photographer will take a “celebrity picture" of you. As you j stroll toward him he steps up and | snaps you. But Atlantic City, with its variety and contrasts, is but one of New Jersey’s many facets. If variety be the spice of life. New Jersey is a highly seasoned state. Mountain, plain, and seashore; lakes, forests, and mighty rivers: cities, colonial villages, and suburbs keyed to the modern age; airways, superhighways, electrified railroads, canals, and country lanes; giant industries, craftsmen’s shops, universities, historic shrines, manoral estates, and log cabins—New Jersey has j them all. Read its history, or explore its byways, and you find that New Jersey’s I roots reach back to our early colonial times. Its coast was sighted in 1524 by ' Giovanni da Verrazano, a Florentine j sailing under French auspices; but the first settlers were the Dutch, who built trading posts at HobocanhackIngh. the present Hoboken, at Paulus Hook (Jersey City), and at Fort Nassau (Gloucester), early in the Seventeenth century. Then came Walloons and French Huguenots, and the Swedes on the Delaware. Finally the English, Scotch, and Trish took over the region ami absorbed the remnants of early settlers. I Thus New Jersey became an English colony with a rich racial background. Two Jerseys in Early Days. Once there were two ‘•Jerseys." an East New Jersey, with its capital at Perth Amboy, and West New Jersey, with capitals at Salem and Burling ton. Before the Revolution Fast New I Jersey was sold at public auction to William Penn ami a group of Quaker associates, who already held West New Jersey. William Penn gained his first colonizing experience in New Jersey, years before his Pennsylvania venture. More than an artificial boundary I line separated the two “Jerseys." East New Jersey was developed largely by Puritans from New England, while West New Jersey was colonized by the Friends. At first New Jerse.' had no name. Tt was lumped with New York ami a part of New England by the Hutch under the title of New Nether- । l lands. Later it was known as “Nova i Caesarea," am! finally as New Jersey, j

in honor of Sir George Carteret, one of its first proprietors, who had formerly been a governor of the Channel island of Jersey. The easy way to explore New Jersey now is by motor over its 1,300 miles of paved state highways and 4,000 miles of county roads, mostly surfaced. Even the villages and almost every farmhouse in the state have all-weather pavement to their doors. Outline a “figure eight" tour through the state, and you can touch most of its resorts, historic shrines, forest ami farm lands, cities and industrial regions, as well as the mountain lakes of the north. Seeing the State by Motor Car. Starting from Atlantic Highlands yon swing down the east coast, turning west at Delaware bay; thence through rich farms along the bay and river to Camden ami the state capital. Trenton. Thence across the "waist” of central New Jersey, one of the world's busiest traffic arteries, you push on to the Industrial region and suburbs around Newark, with a final loop through the northern counties and back to the seaboard. Nowhere is there a more animated strip of seacoast than the 120 miles of eastern New Jersey facing the Atlantic ocean. Here, to more than 00 different resorts, millions upon millions of Americans. Canadians, and others come each year in search of health and recreation —to swim. fUsh. sail. walk, play games, or rest. Except for occasional Intervening Inlets or marshy Islands, the resorts crowd closely along the bench, one after another.

Beauty of “the Plains.” A few miles inland from Barnegat । bay, along the lonely border between Ocean and Burlington counties. New Jersev has a strange and deserted expanst of waste land known as “the Plains.” Most of the year the Plains are desolate and forbidding; but in spring, when the pink laurel is In bloom, or during the autumn, when the oak leaves turn to scarlet, the region has a compelling beauty. At Manahawkin, on the trunk highway that follows the coast, a new causeway strikes out over the marshes to Long Beach, the loneliest am! leastknown section of the New Jersey seaboard. Here one may drive for miles among rolling, grass-covered dunes, where only an occasional coast guard station recalls civilization. At the extreme northern end of the island rises the deserted shaft of Barnegat Light, most renowned of Jersey lighthouses. Ocean City, farther down the coast. Is linked with Atlantic City's Absecon island by a new steel bridge. Some day all the island resorts will be connected by highway bridges. Ocean City is one of t b e gateways to Cape May county, "New Jersey's Way Down East." Cape May City is one of the oldest seashore resorts in the United States. Advertisements describing its beach, horseback riding, ami tavern appeared tn Philadelphia newspapers as early as 1778. and it was popular after the Revolution. Toijav Cape May's principal industry is fishing. The annual catch of mackerel, bass, tuna, and other food fishes landed in its harbor is valued at more than $2.500.<)0<>.

BEA U T Y TALKS By MARJORIE DUNCAN I BRUSHES IN BEAUTY SCHEME TN THE beauty scheme of things, brushes play a very active part. There’s the hair brush, nail brush, clothes brush, tooth brush, eyebrow brush, shoe brush, bath brush and If the skin will stand it the complexion brush. These brushes are important accessories toward good grooming and j as you value personal loveliness add I these beauty aids to your toiletries. I And keep them busy. too. Now let us see what the requisites | | for the hair brush are: it should have ; long, flexible bristles, not too soft or the purpose (of stimulating the circu- i lation through the scalp, cleaning and | polishing every strand of hair) is defeated. On the other hand, the bristles must not be too stiff or they will irritate the scalp. As in all filings the happy medium is preferable in the matter of brush bristles. Harsh bristles should be avoided — ' whether in a hair brush, clothes brush, nail brush, etc. Such bristles are unkind to scalp, clothes and hands. This holds for complexion brush too. In fact, such a brush Is only for the woman with an oily or heavy type of skin. When using it. the movements should be gently upward and outward. Remember that the skin can be soaped and cleansed, without scrubbing or harsh treatment. The tooth brush we need not go into. Your dentist Is the logical one to advise the type of brush you need. But here again medium bristles are advisable for the majority of people, and remember that the bristles should be so arranged that every tooth and every part of the mouth can be thoroughly cleansed. Every dentist will tell you that two tooth brushes are better than one—and every man. woman and child should own two and alternate them. The eyebrow brush Is a small affair with one or two little rows of bristles and this important accessory Is so In-, expensive that I know many women who keep two or three In their dressing table drawer. One removes any excess powder remaining on brows and one gives the brows and lashes a silky sheen after the mascara has dried. The way to brush the brows, you know. Is first the wrong way, then Into place, Lashes are brushed in semi-circular fashion, uppers upward and around as though you would curl every little hair under ami the lower lashes downward and around. THE CLEAN LOOK PVERYWHERE yon go In health and | Fa tteauty circles you hear a great ; deal about "that clean look.” The phrase Is becoming as popular ■ j as a sure fire wisecrack or a first seller >in slogans. It refers to much, much i more than superficial cleanliness. It ■ I points t<» perfection and polish. । Some time ago In the course of a I beauty lecture I referred to “that I clean, crisp look." ■ I I said two things were necessary to achieve it. Perhaps my audience expected me to say; Soap and brushes. : ! But I had reference to; Respect for । I one's self and respect and thonghtful- | ness for those around us. And again > I I repeat that I do not mean merely bathing or washiLr face and hands. ■ ' These are Important —very important —yes. But they are elementary, fundamental. I take It so." granted that every woman has made a habit of bathing every day and keeping her skin clean. 1 But that clean, crisp look goes furtl>er. It includes brushing the hair. The woman who can boast that clean ‘ look never lias her hair disheveled. Every strand and wisp is in place. For trimness and neatness go with . that clean look. Your coiffure may be elaborately Intriguing or very simple. The arrangement does not mat- > ter —at least It Is secondary in importance to a neat, “always-ln-place” arrangement which is another way of saying “that clean look.” 5 Brows must be brushed too. They are an important factor in the perfect picture. And If a lift e wild hair, > here and there decides to march backward or out of line It must be disI ciplined. If brushing won’t help—then ■ pluck. But. mind you. pluck only the ; unruly hairs, for natural brows are . now the vogue. A clean, clear complexion is an- . other important factor. Discolorations, i oiliness, shine, blackheads or erup- > tions all take something away from - “that clean look.” i Well-kept hands, perfectly groomed » nails come in for their share of ati tention too. As for clothes —buttons should be r | where they belong, stocking seams j straight, heels kept in repair and shoes j polished, suits and coats brushed free I ; from dust, and lingerie touches always fresh and dainty. , Even make-up when properly applied i adds to that clean look. Learn to relax. I know a busy ex- • ecutive who always looks rested, inter- । . -ting and alert. The reason for this ! is: she has learned the value of reI taxation.

Terse Explanation of Number “40” in History Forty is one of the greatest numbers to juggle with. It turns up in peculiar ways in the earliest records of mankind. Why human beings picked on the number 40 is not very clear —but it probably grew out of the fact that in primitive times a person could figure up to 10 by conning all his fingers, he could extend this to 20 by also counting his toes (which of course were not covered with shoes) and that two persons striking a bargain could count up to 40 by including all the fingers and toes they had between them. Above that number they would have to engage in flights of higher mathematics . —and they could not do that. The number 40 occurs in numberless traditions, superstitions, rules and laws. The rain which Noah and his family were saved from lasted 40 days and 40 nights—also the sacred fasts which Moses and Elijah had. Forty years was the period of the wanderings of the Children of Israel in the desert. The spies spent 40 days prospecting in the Promised Land. Forty days was the period devoted in ancient times to the burial I of the dead. Jonah gave the people of Nineveh 40 days in which to heed his warnings and repent.—Pathfinder i Magazine.
