ROOSEVELT STUDIES NEW PENSION REPORT Old Age Pension Plan Is Under Consideration. Washington.—Contemplation is being given to a triple-headed old age pension plan it was reported, as President Roosevelt drafted his economic security plan for presentation to congress. The presidential recommendations are expected to go to congress soon. The report made by the President's cabinet committee is said to contain provisions which recommend: First —Joint federal-state contributions to enable those already above 65 to maintain themselves at home. Second—A compulsory old age pension system for those under sixty-five, to which employer and employee would contribute to a fund that would provide them with annuities after they pass sixty-five. Third—A voluntary plan through which agricultural workers and those not employed in industries which fall under the compulsory plan might pay into a fund that would give them an annuity after they are sixty-five. The first arrangement was said to contemplate a sliding scale of pensions ranging up to 025 or S3O a month in cities, with smaller sums in small towns and rural communities. The federal and state governments would contribute to the payment of these pensions, probably on a fifty-fifty basis. It is expected that contributions by employers and employees will gradually build up the reserve funds until the aid from the federal and state governments could be withdrawn. The third voluntary plan aroused a wide difference of opinion in the committees which shaped the program. . Recommend State Sell Stored Hot Oil in Texas Austin, Texas.—“ Hot” or illegal oil to the amount of between 2.500,000 and 3,000,000 barrels is stored in Texas, according to estimates of the Texas railroad commission. The commission has recommended to the legislature the passage of a measure authorizing the state to confiscate and sell to the highest bidder all of this illegally produced oil, the proceeds to go to the public school fund. It was stated that much of this oil is stored in tanks in and adjacent to the East Texas oil field. Boy Dies Testing Hanging Illustration New York.—Paul Warren, fifteen, a Bronx high school student, was found hanging by a rope from a door hinge In his room. On his bed lay a detective magazine and Detective Thomas Kllloran said the boy apparently had tried to determine for himself whether a hanging scene depicted in the magazine could be carried out. WASHINGTON BRIEFS Washington.—Approximately 3.000 cases in which banks have refused loans to business men will be studied by the treasury department in its credit survey of the Cleveland federal reserve district, it was announced. Approximately forty investigators will study the district's credit needs in an effort to give federal authorities firsthand information as to the slowness of bank credit to move into business. The survey is similar to the one just completed in the Chicago district. Washington.—Renewed administration pressure for enactment at this session of a food and drug bill was seen following a conference between Senator Copelaud and President Roosevelt. While Senator Copeland declined to claim presidential support exclusively for a measure he has just introduced, he expressed confidence that congress would enact a new bill at this session. Washington.—The Supreme court dealt another blow at chain stores when it upheld the constitutionality of the West Virginia chain store tax as applied to gasoline stations. The law was assailed by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, with 1,003 taxable stations. It sought to recover taxes totaling $240,173. Washington.—President Roosevelt sent to the senate the nominations of Miss Katherine F. Lenroot of Wisconsin to be chief of the children’s bureau in the Department of Labor, and William H. Hornibrok of Utah to be minister to Afghanistan. Washington.—The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta has reduced its rediscount rate from 2% to 2 per cent, effective January 14. The reduction is in line with the cheaper money policies of the federal reserve board. Fergusons Sued for $175,000 Over Pardon Dallas, Texas.—Relatives of Mrs. Pearl Hall, slain in November, 1933, have filed suit for $175,0W damages against Gov. Miriam A. Ferguson and her husband-adviser. James E. Ferguson. They allege defamation of th ■ deceased woman s character in a proclamation granting a pardon to Mrs. Mary Boone on the five year prison sentence assessed for the slaying of Mrs. Hall. The Fergusons refused to comment on the suit.

THIS WEEK One Thing Important Paid for Not Doing S4O a Month What Do We Want of Japan? One piece of news in the world is Important to the United States. If Washington doesn’t know it, the governments of Europe and Asia do know it That news is Amelia Earhart's flight, nonstop in eighteen hours, across 2,400 miles of the Pacific ocean, from Hawaii to the United States. All American citizens, especially those on the Pacific coast, and elderly, out-of-date gentlemen who are supposed to provide for the defense of this country, should ask themselves: If a young woman, entirely alone, without sleep, no assistant to help with navigation, can fly, unseen, across the Pacific ocean and laud in California to receive a bunch of roses, eighteen hours from Hawaii, what do you think five or ten thousand powerful bombing and swift pursuit planes could do, coming from Asia or from Europe? Pennsylvania is an important tobacco state. The government is paying farmers not to grow tobacco, just as It ; pays them elsewhere not to grow cot- ■ ton or wheat and not to raise pigs. After you have spent your whole life driven by necessity’s lash to produce the utmost possible, this brings sweet peace to have the government j pay you for not doing it, even if you can't quite understand It. Nobody has yet arranged to pay newspaper publishers for not writing editorials, but that may come, in the I glorious new era, and, here and there, It might be a great blessing. Washington reports that President I Roosevelt's message to congress about pensions for the old will suggest “only” S4O a month. The Washington correspondent who says “only” does not know what S4O a month would mean to millions of old people whose lives are made bitter not by deprivation, not by poverty, hunger or cold, but by the fact that they depend upon the cold charity of others, particularly on the charity of relatives. Give S4O a month to the old that are dependent and you will bring happiness into the last years of millions of lives, and that would be worthy of a great nation. The honorable Japanese chief of Information in the foreign office says the United State^ is planning an attack on Japan. Any ^Japanese who believes it lacks the usual intelligence for which you give all Japanese credit. Nations start wars because they want something. What does the United States want from Japan? Uncle Sam, in a mild fit of idiocy, is now giving away the Philippines, Asiatic islands richer in resources than the Japanese islands. We got those islands from the Spanish war. Should we start another war, spend billions, kill .many of our Japanese friends and burn up their country by fire bombardment from airplanes merely to get more Asiatic islands, to be given away later? The thirst of the people means profit to the government. Uncle Sam during 1934 collected an average of more than $1,000,000 a day in liquor taxes, a total amount of $374,506,232. Beer alone yielded $200,000,000; spirits distilled in America, $121,000,000; imported spirits, $15,000,000; Imported wines, $6,000,000. It is easy to understand why tens of millions follow the trial of Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnaping and killing of the Lindbergh baby with such intense interest. The trial is a mystery in itself. Gradually unwound in , court like the chapters in a detective story, it holds public attention, the horrible nature of the crime increasing the interest tenfold. Eighty-nine Russian fishermen, living on the edge of the Caspian sea, ought to be grateful to the American Wright brothers that invented the airplane. With their boats they had drifted ten days on an ice floe and were starving. - Along came a big Russian plane, flying low, to drop tiny parachutes that brought food, tobacco and alcohol. Then the fishermen, hopelessly lost, out of sight of land, got in their boats and the airplane guided them to the shortest route to shore. This reporter sat next to Amelia Earhart at a dinner recently, did not recognize her, thought she looked, as the French say, “like somebody,” asked “Do you write, fly, or what do you do?” She said “I fly a little, and I write a little.” Europe continues “edging along” toward war. The Associated Press reports Italian troops being concentrated along the Austrian border. Italy fears that Germany may start an attack on Austria, aiming at absorption, now the Saar voting is over. Italy calls this movement of troops along the Austrian border “Winter maneuvers.” but Europe knows what it really is. France probably will not be surprised. Mussolini for Italy and Laval for France recently had a very affectionate conversation, of which the substance was “Keep Germany under control.” ©, King Features Syndicate, Inc. WNU Service.

Washington. — Out of President Roosevelt’s eight-billion-dollar budget i is developing a very Budget Starts real controversy Controversy which runs to the heart of the New Deal. True, tiiis controversy like nearly all of the others will not result in changing the President’s plans, but it seems to me to be a matter which justifies consideration even though the Roosevelt will in the end must prevail. Included In the budget was provision for an appropriation of four billion dollars and, as stated by the President, to be supplied “in one sum, subject to al- | location by the Executive principally , for giving work to those unemployed on tne relief rolls.” Beyond that, there ' was no exposition of its intended use ‘ nor has there been any detailed state- ; ment of the plan. 4s a result, there is । a considerable body of opinion in the halls of congress which is saying in I effect that Mr. Roosevelt ought to de- ; fine his work relief program. He has ' not done so, and the best information i I can obtain is that no explanation may be expected in the near future: he in- : tends to proceed as he lias in the past by developing a program piece-meal I and using the funds as the occasion requires. In the critical days of 1933 when Mr. Roosevelt took office, I believe it was generally conceded that the emergency was so serious as to warrant delegation by congress of almost any power even remotely desired by the President. He used that power during 1933 and 1934. Now, many members of the house and senate believe that the time has arrived for congress to become more inquisitive about the expenditure । of taxpayers’ money and avoid fol- , lowing in blind trust however the President may direct. While it is probable that congress will not be told how the President intends to use the money and while it is also probable that the requested appropriation of four billion dollars will be rubber stamped, the fact remains that at no time during the New Deal has there been such a buzz of discontent in the President’s own list of wheel-horses. Senator i Byrnes, the South Carolina Democrat I who has been looked upon consistently as Mr. Roosevelt’s spokesman on financial affairs in the senate, has informed that body that It is impossible “to be more specific at this time” on the work relief program. Senator Byrnes will go no further. He has given no interviews respecting his own thoughts on the matter and apparently has ' elected to wait at bat until the President tosses him the ball. Nevertheless, there are some senators who think they detect just a trace of concern in i the attitude of this administration spokesman and they ere wondering how long he will continue to repress his known energies. • • • Presentation of the budget was expected in many quarters to disclose . . . the means by which Critics Chide the President hoped President to got employment going again in private Industry. It showed nothing tangible in this direction. Consequently, critics of the administration who have had opportunity to speak in the house and senate have begun to chide the administration on its third experiment in | three years. Representative Snell of New York, Republican leader in the house, has called attention to the situation something in this manner: The President tried out one plan in 1933; he tried out a second plan in 1934, and now he is trying a third experiment. The first two were found to be all wet, and the Republicans, it seems, are convinced that the current effort lias two I strikes on it before it gets started. । They are predicting failure for it in । every way except the success that is assured in getting rid of money which the treasury is borrowing. Their conversations all have the same theme song, namely that the country is seeing , activity, but they are not predicting , how long this action can continue until , the nation goes broke. Whether the business leaders who met at White Sulphur Springs. W. Va., a month ago were right or wrong in proposing the use of a dole instead of the more expensive work ( relief plan, or whether they were corj rect in any of the other recommendations they made, the truth is the administration has rejected without comment every single one of the recommendations made by that group. Mr. Roosevelt made no n ntion in his budget message or in his annual message i to congress of plans for balancing the j budget, and this fact at last lias sunk in. The result is additional fear on the part of many business leaders who can see in the future only inflation and economic chaos for the country. Privately, I have heard many expres- ' sions indicating that men of wealth are I putting their money into tangible property—something that will not dry up । and blow away. That is always the refuge of individuals who fear that । the currency which their government I controls is losing Its worth. These i men will be criticized for that course, I naturally enough, by blind followers iof inflation plans. But if history j means anything, it certainly shows ) that only the individuals who ex- ' changed their money for tangible prop- । erty were able to emerge from inflaj tlonery excursions in any country with anything of value left. From all of the signs now visible and from the undercurrent of mumbling that I hear, it certainly is made I to appear that Mr. Roosevelt is coni fronted with a necessity for some deflj nite outline of his plans and an asI surance that he will adhere to those ■ plans. Without such, the situation assuredly is that he will not have the ' confidence of the business structure. It seems illogical even to suppose that he can gain the co-operation of busii ness in expanding its activities, therej by re-employing workers, unless be

takes a different tack than his pronouncements thus far indicate. At least, such is the conclusion of a vast number of thinking people. • • « I heard a visitor to Washington say the other day that he would like to . ride airplanes, "but Night confounded things Flying fly most of their schedules at night.” The individual is a man of great wealth and his time is of great value. He insisted he was sincere in his statement that he would much rather save time by flying If the planes were on day-light schedule. The statement aroused my curiosity to the extent that I conducted some inquiry into the situation. I found the night schedules of the air lines to be due to the fact that they are fixed by j the Post Office department. If a line desires to carry mail it has to subject itself to the dictates of “Big Jim” Farley, the postmaster general. His office can and does say to an air line that it will fly a ship leaving New York at 9 p. m. or else it does not get the mail contract. The result is that the plane leaves New York at 9 p. m. or it leaw s Chicago or Washington or any other , city on a time stated by the Post Office department. Many persons feel that such a policy ‘ is taking undue advantage of private industry. It is true that the Post Office department is paying for carry- | ing the mails at a rate probably well : above the rate it receives in postage on that mail. It is, therefore, a subsidy. But this government has for years maintained a policy of subsidizing new industries and that course is responsible for the success attained by the development of the transportation systems of this country. The President’s special commission named to study the airplane problems j of this country and to make recommendations heard much testimony and received much data showing that the airplane industry in the United States had placed this country in the number one position in the air among all nations of the world. Individual members of that commission have stated they regard this as highly beneficial. Some of them at least maintain that development of an air Industry was one of the greatest steps taken in national defense preparation. They ap- । peared to consider this one end as jus- । tifying the course without even considering the maintenance of a great industry within the borders of our nation as a commercial unit. But while this has been going on, and while many authorities on economic matters continue to urge development of the air industry, we find another agency within the government placing handicaps on that same segment of the economic structure. The least that can be said Is that the courses cannot be reconciled. It is understood that the President's commission is going to recommend creI ation of a separate agency to superI vise the air industry, mainly transportation, something after the manner in which the Interstate chamber of commerce functions with respect to j the railroads. Since knowledge of the commission’s tentative views has leaked out, there have been signs pointing to movement in opposition. Some of these signs appear to have had their origin in the Post Office department, the same department which not so many months age summarily cancelled all mail contracts for air lines on charges of fraud in obtaining them. No one can foretell now what wires j will be pulled by politicians who desire ; to keep their hands on the joy-sticks ,of the airplanes. It Is, however, just ! another one of those conditions result- ' ing from a willingness on the part of i politicians to serve their own ends at the expense of the country as a whole. • * * The administration is determined to ; control oil production. If it cannot do so bv Executive order The Oil —and the Supreme Case Court cf the United States has decreed it j cannot do so in that manner—there ! will be laws predicated upon the in- : terstate commerce clauses of the Constitution whicli will permit the executive branch of the government to keep its hand on the valve of oil wells. President Roosevelt apparently was not much concerned over the Supreme I court decision which invalidated that part of the recovery act giving the I Chief Executive authority to allow or prohibit interstate movement of oil as it decided best. The President appeared to feel, in responding to ques tions by news correspendents, that the rebuff was only temporary. He announced at that time a determination to control oil production in one way or another to avoid what he describes as a criminal waste of a great natural ■ resource. ■ j The oil case, the Supreme court decided, had its origin in regulations and executive orders issued under what the ‘ administration believed to be authority , accorded by the recovery act. Those i regulations and ordeis prescribed ’ quotas allowed to be shipped from each i of the several oil producing states. • The motivating spirit was a desire to • avoid accumulation of a vast surplus ■ of crude oil with the consequent dei pressing of prices until crude oil was worth little or nothing. But. like many J other prohibitory laws and rules of ■ conduct, individuals resented being told J they could not do a certain thing and ■ immediately began to devise ways by • which it could be done —a characteris- ■ tic that was developed to its fullest ’ during the bootleg days of national prohibition. The oil that was moved - surreptlously came to be known as “hot oil,” and the controversy over the vat lidity of the regulations and executive ■ orders consequently was called the • “hot oil” case. ©, Western Newspaper Union.

Dur- j ing my seafaring days I never had a Christmas tree. This Christmas I was going to have a tree for father and me. ' Dad was expected home from a voyage he was making in the Oceania Vance. No end of preparations were made for that tree. "Christmas morning I dreamed —not a cheerful holiday dream, but a dread dream —that I saw my father under water, saw him struggling to get out.

oin ; Old Dobbin Is Ntow Staging Comeback; Cost of Keep Important Item. By E. L. Sauer. Farm Management Specialist, University of Illinois.—WNU Service. Horses are staging a comeback, but some of their value as a source of economical farm power will be lost unless I they are handled efficiently. Next to I man labor, the cost of keeping work । horses is one of the largest items of expense on many farms. This is often not realized because horses are usually fed on farm-grown grains and rough- | ages and no cash outlay is necessary ■ for their feed. How widely the worth and expenses । of horses may vary depending upon their management is shown in a study I of cost account records kept by 33 farmers in co-operation with the farm management division of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. The net cost of keeping a work horse for i the year varied from 524.23 to $76.98, or an average of $46.58. The number of hours of work performed by the horses ranged from 309 j to 1,244 each, the average being 705 ' hours. The cost for each hour of ■ horse labor averaged 6.6 cents. This I varied from 3.6 cents on the lowestcost farm to 18.4 cents an hour on the । farm with the highest horse power cost. I The cost for each hour’s work was closely correlated with the number of j hours worked by each horse, although ; the total cost of keeping a horse varied widely on farms where the horses l worked an equal number of hours. Feed accounted for 59 per cent of the average total cost of maintaining the horses, man labor required to care i ■ for and harness the horses accounted ' for another 14 per cent, shelter 9 per | cent, interest on investment 7 per cent, i ! depreciation 5 per cent, harness 4 per , cent and veterinary, shoeing and incidental costs 2 per cent. From these figures it is evident that : the cost for each unit of horse power I on farms can be reduced by cutting ' down the maintenance expenses and by increasing the hours of productive work done by each horse. The feed given the animals and the labor spent in caring for them must be governed j by the work done, if horse power is to I be economical. Depreciation costs may . | be reduced and an appreciation in the i horse account effected by raising colts ' for replacement purposes. Plague of Warts Cause of Heavy Potato Losses Wart disease, which in the last few I years has reduced to poverty vast poi tato-growing areas in Scotland and j Ireland, is caused by a parasitic fungus. scientifically christened synchytrium endobioticum. It is capable of lying dormant in the soil for at least ten years, patiently awaiting its prey. The only effective way of countering it, notes a writer in Tit-Bits Magazine, is I to produce varieties immune from attack. But it is one thing, laboratory workers at Rothamsted experimental station are discovering, to Immunize varieties, and another to insure them giving good domestic yields. Wart disease was originally detected : in Britain in 1898; it is variously called “Black Scab,” “Canker,” “Fungus,” and “Stag Head.” It attacks the tubers and low-lying stalks of potatoes, never their roots, covering infected parts with knotty warts, which damp soil quickly converts into ugly black festers. Occupiers of land, discovering the disease in their soil, are required by law to notify the ministry of agriculture at once. Clover Hay Good Feed Clover is good feed. On the stock farm clover can be used for hay or ' pasture. Clover hay contains nearly twice as much nitrogen. 50 per cent i more phosphorus, and four to six times as much calcium as Timothy hay. , These are the important bone and must cle making elements. These differi enees are characteristic of legumes and i non-legumes. The Oklahoma station j compared more than 300 samples each < of legumes and non-legumes. They found that the legumes averaged nearly four times as much phosphorus, and more than two and a half times as much nitrogen as the non-legumes. i Legumes are an important source of I minerals for both man and animals.— i Rural New-Yorker. Silage for Horses Horses can be wintered entirely I upon silage but great care should be l exercised not to feed them any moldy ■ silage, writes a correspondent in ' Hoard’s Dairyman. In the beginning, , start by feeding a very small quantity, a double handful, and gradually increase it until he has an allowance that will maintain him in good condition. Those who winter their horses on silage tell us that they come through in fine condition. Conditioner for Horses To make horses appear to be less 5 tight in the hide is to put a little more • ; flesh on them. Horses which are thin s in condition do not usually show any great looseness of hide. As they fat- ; ten ♦ ey take on a sleek appearance • and the hide appears to be very much I looser. A mixture of 125 pounds crushed • ‘ oats, 100 pounds wheat bran and 25 i pounds linseed oil meal is recommend- - ed for a six-months-old foal. As he 5 ! grows older, reduce bran, replacing | with crushed oats. Fighting Lice on Horses - i The best way to treat horses infested with lice is to apply equal parts of ; : ground sabadilla seed and flowers ol » I sulphurs, using two or three handfuls i ■ per horse. Rub the mixture Into the : hair along the back from the tail tc the withers and around the neck. Ap ply some between the forelegs am: - j hindlegs, especially if the lice are bad i | Two or three applications during the r winter months should control the in f festation. —A. L.

Shipton and companions made the first ex- । ploration by westerm-rs of the slopes ] of Nanda Devi, marking out possible I routes for a future attack on the ' peak itself. One of the most spectacular archeological discoveries of the year came in March when two French aviators, Capt. Edouard Corniglion Molinier and Andre Malraux, flew into the I interior of Arabia northeast of Ye- ' men and sighted and photographed from the air the ruins of a great city I previously unknown to the West. The remains of seven Mayan cities, one surrounded by a mote, were dis- , covered in northern Guatemala by expeditions of the Carnegie Institu- : tion of Washington.

(Use what Doctors do} Why do the bowels usually move । regularly and thoroughly, long after a physician has given you treatment for constipation? Because the doctor gives a liquid laxative that can always be taken in the right amount. You can gradually reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is the secret of real and safe relief from constipation. Ask your doctor about this. Ask your druggist how popular liquid i laxatives have become. The right liquid laxative gives the right kind of help, and the right amount of help. When the dose is repeated, instead of more each time, you take less. Until the bowels are moving regularly and thoroughly without any help at all. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara, and these are natural laxatives that form no habit — even in children. Your druggist has it; ask so JI SYRUP PEPSIN WATCH YOUR mmsi Be Sure They Properly Cleanse the Blood YOUR kidneys are constantly filtering impurities from the blood | stream.
