THIS WEEK
It’s Already Smashed
At Last They Got Him
Air Wisdom, and Nonsense
Forest Made to Order
Senator Borah denounces monopoly
as the cause of all our troubles, and
■ays “Smash the monopolies!” As it
happens, happenings since 1929 have
smashed the monopolies fairly well.
If anybody has a monopoly that yon
would like to own, you can get it at a
bargain.
It took 15 federal agents, all ex-
pert gunmen, to “get’’ Dillinger. And
they got him by surprise, thanks to a
woman’s “tip that he was to be in a
certain theater,” a tip supposed to
have been well paid for. It was no
“detective work." Dillinger was killed
as he had killed others, without a
chance of escape, like a trapped coyote,
and now he knows, if he knows any-
thing, that as a profession “crime does'
pot pay.”
The War department’s special avia-
tion committee says the army should
have 2,320 planes, with corresponding
Increases in flying men. It also says
there should not be one department
controlling all air forces, which is
pitiful idiocy.
Mr. Baker must remember what hap-
pened when he was secretary of war
and the flying machines of this country
Bent to Europe were a joke among na-
tions, our flying men compelled to bor-
row from France and England planes
that would really fly.
However, the big men in the army
and navy are not flyers, and feel that
they should have their little separate
flying units to play with.
From somewhere in the Pacific Pres-
ident Roosevelt sends an order that
$15,000,000 be set aside now, $75,000,-
000 in all, spent on a “made to order”
forest, stretching across this country
through the heart of the drouth area
from the Canadian border to the Texas
Panhandle. Planned as an experiment
to counteract the drouth by encourag-
ing rainfall, the new forest will be
1,000 miles long, 100 miles wide, 100,-
000 square miles of forest surface.
It will be a long time before any-
body knows about the plan’s success.
The President and those around him
will have disappeared, will not see the
big forest, and before it amounts to
much men may have learned to pro-
duce, rain when necessary. It is an
interesting experiment, costing only
$75,000,000, a mere nothing in these
days.
Henry Ford says:
“Old-fashioned Americanism, the
pioneer spirit that isn’t afraid to
tackle Anything, will save this nation
from its economic and social afflic-
tions.”
Perhaps Henry Ford, who lives some
distance from the fringe of American
foolishness, gives his fellow citizens
credit for too much of the old “Ameri-
can spirit.”
When you read that 3,000,000 chil-
dren are deprived of schooling in the
United States, that this country spends
for “luxuries” twice as much as it
spends on education, you think that
possibly something has happened to
that “pioneer spirit.” The Talmud
says, “Jerusalem was destroyed be-
cause the schools were neglected.”
Conditions in Vienna are bgd, with
more dangerous riots expected as Nazi
terrorism continues its bomb explo-
sions. Nazis in Austria declare that
“Roman Catholic priests led Chancel-
lor Dollfuss in his campaign against
the Nazis,” and a Nazi spokesman de-
clares that Nazis “have determined to
kidnap the Roman Catholic priests as
hostages.” As soon as any Nazi ter-
rorists are sentenced to death, and
hanged, their friends will kill the
priests held as hostages.
Mr. and Mrs. Peters (he was “night
man” in a small Hoboken, N. J., lunch-
room) won $25,516 in a sweepstake
lottery and felt that they should show
that winning, in a lottery, is a good
thing. They drove to collect their
money in a rented 16-cylinder car with
a liveried chauffeur, and “opened”
champagne.
Any expert accountant can show
them that 4 per cent on $25,516 will
not stand that strain. Some “get-rich-
quick” expert will probably show them
how to change $25,516 into $10,000,000
—then Mr. Peters will be “night man”
again.
Germany has real troubles, some fac-
tories closing, hours reduced, because
of lack of raw materials. It isn’t that
other countries refuse to sell raw ma-
terials to Germany, but that Germany
lacks cash anj credit. Hundreds of
thousands are said to be added to the
number of unemployed.
News that malaria is spreading In
Cuba, 6,000 cases reported at Santi-
ago, will disturb intelligent Cubans,
and doubtless cause an energetic fight
against the dangerous malaria-bearing
mosquitoes
Mosquitoes spread malaria and also
spread yellow fever. Malaria is the
worse of the two, for it makes life
worthless. According to scientists, the
malaria mosquitoes coming up from
the marshes, not rude barbarians from
the north or the vices of the inhabi-
tants, destroyed the power of ancient
Rome.

HI
ROGERS
BEVERLY HILLS.—Well all I know
Is just what I read In the papers or
what I see hither and yon. I had
a funny kind of a
trip here two or
three weeks ago.
My younger kid
limmy and my lit-
tle nephew Jimmy
Blake were over
in the panhandle
of Texas on the
Mashed O. Ranch
learning to be
cowboys. They
were having a big
calf branding.
The ranch be-
longs to the Halsell Family, old family
friends of my folks and myself. Its
where I went a couple of years ago and
was roping calves, and an old jug
headed grey horse I was riding got
tangled in the rope, and the calf and I
was just an innocent bystander. And
all I got out of it was bucked off on my
head. On account of using good judg-
ment in knowing how to fall, why i
wasent hurt at all. The old horse stam-
peded around the corral with the calf
anchored to him and tore up the brand-
ing fire. All this time 1 was just scratch-
ing old cut off ear marks, and other
amputated parts out of my hair. And
old dry cowpuncher, (and 1 never saw
many that wasent) said “Well you will
sho have something to write about
now.” He figured here is a day when
he will lay off the Republicans, and tell
aomething amusing.
Well this time I flew out there one
night. Flew all night and got to
Amarillo at four o’clock in the morning.
Its about 100 miles to the ranch, down
at a town named Muleshoe (1 suppose
its an old Spanish name and come from
the thing a mule Wears on his foots.)
Well I got in a taxi and lit out. I figured
there wasent much time to sleep, so 1
told the old boy “Lets get some break-
fast and then hit on out of town.” 1
dident know the road, but I did know
the direction.
We went by the restaurant to get ham
and eggs, for out West everything you
do you must get Ham and eggs first.
Then when you get it done you get ham
and eggs again. An old girl and her
beau, (perhaps) eating in There too
about 4.30 that morning, she recognized
me. She had on an evening dress, that’s
mighty late for an evening dress in
Amarillo. She wanted me to join her in
what she said was a cup of coffee “That
had something In it.” 1 told her 1 was
doing mighty well on this coffee 1 had
ordered that had nothing but grounds
In it. But she swore she was drinking
"Coffee Royal.” That sounded awful
“Continental” to be browsing around In
Amarillo. Why even “Old Tack” never
heard of that. Well anyhow she got
plum sore at me becaus I wouldent
join her. And when I said “‘Good
Morning” as my driver and me went
out she turned her bare back on me
and muttered “Them actors are all
alike, they are all swell headed, thats
what I get for speakifig to a ham. He
dident know a lady when he seen one.
Well as It got to getting daylight
and we passed all those little frame
farm houses on every prairie quarter
section, (where it never in the world
should have been plowed up) 1 never
saw as many fowls of various breeds
try to cross the road ahead of us.
Chickens, turkeys, guinea hens. This
old driver boy looked like he took
fiendish delight in trying to maim some
of em, but much to my delight he
couldn’t reach any of em. We was driv-
ing over a Country where 36 years
before as a boy 18 years old I had
helped to drive a bunch of cattle from
that very place to Western Kansas,
and there wasent a house or a chicken
in a whole county. That plains was the
prettiest country
1 ever saw in my
life, as flat as a
beauty contest
winners stomach,
and prairie lakes
scattered all over
it. And mirages!
You could see any-
thing in the
w o r 1 d — j u s t
ahead of you—i
eat out of a chuck
wagon, and slept
on the ground all
that spring and summer ot 93. (Lot of
folks went to the Klondike, but I
couldent get any further away from
my home in the Indian Territory than
Texas.) The limit of my “Pay Dirt”
was I think 30 dollars a month. Well
here 1 was 36 years later driving out
to a ranch, to eat at another “Chuck
Wagon”, and do a little roping. A good
deal had happened to everybody in 36
years. No more happens to one person
than to another. Some look bigger, but
they are no bigger than the things that
look little that happens to the other
fellow.
No greater, no happier life in the
world than the cattle man. He missed
being with the Follies, but so did 1
miss many and many a great meal
from the tail end of a wagon. That
coffee is not “Coffee Royal” but brother
its coffee.
Now none of this aint what I
started out tc say, so will have to
say that next week. 1 would get senti-
mental in a minute if I kept on.

Tired Nerves Make Trouble
Temperamental Outbursts That Quite Frequently Fol-
low Any Unusual Expenditure of Nervous Energy
Are Comparatively Unimportant.
Even in the best regulated fam-
ilies it frequently happens that a
party, outing or other good time
which calls forth nervous energy is
followed by a quarrel, or, at least, a
feeling of irritability which makes
the tension high in the home circle.
The important matter is to regard
these temperamental upsets as whol-
ly unimportant. They are purely the
result of fatigue, and no personal
grudge should be held- for thefoc-
currence, regrettable, though It; is,
and unpleasant at the time.
Just as thunder showers follow a
hot sunshiny day, so these tempera-
mental outbursts are purely the. ef-
fect of too much exuberance, cou-
pled with the necessity of being with
close companions, when the real need
li for a little period of rest and sol-
itude. If possible to give yourself
the “break” which a little rest and
quiet affords after a strenuous time,
do so, for the sake of yourself and
others. But If this is not possible,
and a deluge of words begins to be
hurled from friends or members of
the family, yourself included, let the
event pass as quickly as does a mo-
mentary shower, and as soon as the
“air has cleared,” let It be forgotten.
It is not just the children of the
household which should be granted
this Indulgence. Mothers are usually
on the watch for such temperament-
al disturbances after a good time.
Many adults have not outgrown this
perfectly natural reaction of tired
nerves and bodies. The difference
1b that mothers, knowing the cause,
do not take the circumstances seri-
ously.
Adults are not always as fair or
generous in their judgments. How-
ever, it may seem at the time, noth-
ing said In such a mood should be
taken as significant. Let the sun

shine as soon as the moment allows,
and realize that all that were good
friends before, still are the same,
and that a nervous system which
sometimes becomes tyrannical has
been playing a few rather showy
tricks which have nothing to do with
the basis for love and friendship.

British Engineers Plan
Way to Harness Tides
In Britain, the Severn estuary has
big tides, and there is a scheme for
making a barrage across this. A de-
tailed official report was recently
made on the project, writes a corre-
spondent in the London Spectator.
It would cost about 50,000,000
pounds and by itself could not com-
pete with electrical power generated
by burning coal. But with the aid
of water power from the dams in
the Wye valley nearby, it is estimat-
ed that it could supply all the south-
west of England and Wales with
power at two-thirds of the present
cost.
Schemes like this have to be care-
ful not to upset existing arrange-
ments, and Bristol is naturally very
anxious lest a huge barrage should
interfere with navigation. In order
to settle this question, wonderfully

accurate models of the river bed
have been made, and the effects of a
barrage on currents and on silting-
up have been studied on the model.
The model is so accurate that,
when a current of muddy water was
run through it, the mud particles
were deposited so as to reproduce
with extraordinary fidelity the sand
banks and shoals that exist in the
real river. The results seem con-
clusive that a barrage could have no
serious effects on shipping.
