HOMES BOUGHT TO LIVE IN
There’s something distinctly refreshing in the fact
that half of America’s home owners buy their first
houses and garden pots “just to have a better place
to bring up the children.”
A recent nation-wide survey reveals this happy
state of affairs. Moreover, it discloses that next to
this praiseworthy desire, the greatest motive for home
owning is really a sentimental longing for “a place of
our own—a home.” Investment runs a pretty poor
third.
About 31 per cent of American families build homes,
the survey reveals further, and there are children
in 61 per cent of these homes at the time of purchase.
All of which implies rather distinctly that the man
who buys a home is thinking a lot more of the in-
tangible values it represents than of the dollar-and-
cents side of the deal.—Marshall Messenger.

physician to render any help un-
less the patient applies for it. The
first thing then is for the public to
learn the danger signals of cancer
and report immediately to a med-
ical man upon the suspicion being
aroused that cancer is present or
impending.
Hospital and medical men must
be prepared to deal effectively with
the patients who come to them. For-
tunately, there are excellent hospi-
tals throughout the United States
and competent surgeons are to be
found nearly everywhere.
A second important line of attack
is research. More facts about can-
cer need to be discovered: how and
why it occurs, by what procedure it
may be prevented and cured. There
is a good deal of information upon
these subjects already, but there is
need of much more.
Cancer research is being prosecut-
ed in many institutes and hospitals
and by not a few physicians and
surgeons privately. The records of
all this work are printed in medical
journals, some of which are devoted
exclusively to cancer. There is hard-
ly an association of physicians or
surgeons in America which does not
assign a considerable part of its pro-
gram to the discussion of cancer.
A hopeful outlook should exist
among those who are engaged in the
warfare against cancer. The public
is becoming rapidly aroused to the
need of co-operating and giving fi-
nancial support to the forces engag-
ed in this great conflict.
If it had its way, what with all the trouble
that has been raging about it, the Rock of Gi-
braltar would probably be gathering no moss.
ANOTHER CENTENNIAL
The United States Patent Office has something in
common with Texas. Tuesday, July 28 was the 100th
anniversary of the granting of the first American
patent under the laws which were passed by Con-
gress July 4, 1836. Since that time, 2,045,000 patents
have been granted, most of them of no practical value,
but others of so great importance that they con-
tributed heavily to American supremacy in many
industrial lines.
Not so many years ago a member of Congress urged
that the patent office be abandoned since everything
worth while patenting had been invented. Some peo-
ple today are sure that inventive genius has run its
course and that much of the world’s misery can be
attributed to those who find better ways and better
machines to do human work.
A good portion of the items patented are worthiest
and are the dizzy ideas of crackpots, but others are
the results of careful work by brilliant minds to help
civilizatio nand make life happier and easier. It is
probable that in the next 100 years, twenty times as
many patents will be granted as in the first 100 years,
judging from the great increase in the number of
patents within the last score of years.

TOM BLANTON SLIPS
For the first time in his political career as a mem-
ber of Congress, Thomas L. Blanton of Abilene fail-
ed to lead the ticket in his race for re-election to
the seventeenth Congressional district. Judge Clyde
Garrett of Eastland led Blanton by 4,500 votes and
the two will wage a hot contest in the run-off elec-
tion next month.
During the 20 years that Blanton has been a
member of Congress, he has raised the ire of both
party members and Republicans. He. gained the title
of “watchdog of the Treasury” by throwing the light
of publicity on expenses he considered needless or
wasteful. He also has been opposed to anything
smacking of communistic teachings in the schools
and attributed his poor showing in the election last
week to “insidious influences and large sums of money
direct from Washington”. Or it may be that his con-
stituents are just tired of the kind of show that
Blanton puts on in his sometimes over-zealous desire
to start a fight.

THE CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT ' 'to
The success of the co-operative movement in some
European countries, especially in England and Swe-
den where co-operative stores serve a- good portion
of the working class, has created rather wide interest
in this country, particularly in the large eastern in-
dustrial centers. A few weeks ago the co-operative
movement got a strong impetus from President
Roosevelt who sent a commission to Europe to study
the operation of co-operative enterprise first hand.
This commission has about completed its studies in
Sweden and will go to other European countries
where the citizens are supposed to be saving money
by purchasing from co-operatives.
■ Any system which gets more goods into the hands
of consumers at low prices is worthy of study, but
this doesn’t mean that any European system which
might work fine with the Swedes or the Danes will
work in this country, especially if it is tried on a
broad scale. Already there is a co-operative move-
ment in the United States, but the growth so far has
been spotted by conspicuous failures, along with some
moderate successes.
Some of the Swedish co-operatives, for example, are
not much unlike privately owned enterprises in this
country where the stock is widely held. A large group
of individuals own small amounts of stock and divi-
dends are the only discounts they receive. Those who
do not own stock can buy in the store, but do not
participate in the earnings.

that one who takes his assignment too seriously is
apt to come into some embarrassing moments—to
wit, this essay as set down several seasons ago:
“Among the startling phases of the revolution in
the theater,” we wrote, “is the almost complete dis-
appearance of plays that can clock up extraordinarily
long runs. The critics may burst forth with their
most vociferous huzzahs, ticket agents may push sales
with the persistence of sidewalk hawkers, press ex-
ploiters may breing out their thousands of tricks—
but, you can’t mark up one of those 3-year runs any
more. A play that lasts a year is doing mighty, mighty
well.”
This was written three days after a bawdy drama
turned up on Broadway that seemed likely to fail
any day. This play was “Tobacco Road”—now deep
in its third consecutive year.

Nevertheless, Roosevelt wants no steel strike before
November. Neither, apparently, does Lewis. There is
some fear that the industry will precipitate hostil-
ities, not only for political effect, but in the hope of.
strangling the organization drive in its infancy.
Nor does Roosevelt want to see a complete split
between C. I. O. and the craft unions, for there is
reason to fear that many right wingers in the "labor
movement might then turn against him.
The C. I. O. is the heart and soul of Labor’s Non-
Partisan League, which, under George Berry, is now
signing up central labor unions ove rthe country to
work for Roosevelt.

Man About Manhattan
By GEORGE TUCKER
NEW YORK, August 1.—A struggling young essay-
ist, deciding that a woodland retreat would be more
conducive to his labors, recently removed himself
and portable typewriter to a cabin in one of the coun-
ties upstate. He felt, he vowed, sad at the thought
of his friends living in the miserable city while he
was working up a speaking acquaintance with na-
ture. He intended to be gone about four months.
This was six weeks ago and he is back in Manhat-
tan. . ... He has been back nearly a month. ... It
seems that he arrived at his new domicile and set-
tled down for some intensive toil when he discovered
that his typewriter, injured in transit, was on the
blink. So he drove 18 miles into a small town and
waited 24 hours to have it repaired. Returning to his
cabin, he discovered that he had left the windows
open and that a rainstorm had saturated everything
within a range of six feet from the windows—includ-
ing an important manuscript which was more than
half completed. . . . Parts of the manuscript were
beyond repair—indeed, many pages were lost—but he
managed to retain his good humor and immediately
set to work to repair the damage.

That night he went to sleep under blankets that
were dampened by the rain. Waking next morning
with a heavy chest, he attributed it to the change
in climate and endeavored to get himself on a work-

A new ray making war-craft invisible is rumorpd
in the-cables. We warn the munitions boys—we don’t
intend to buy battleships we can’t see.—Des Moines
Tribune.
Many compliments have been
heard of the appearance of the
streets under the new parking reg-
ulations, which officially go into
effect Monday, but which have
been generally observed where the
lines have been painted during the
past several days. Parallel park-
ing on one or both sides of sev-
eral of the busy streets not onlY
looks neater because of the straight
parking against the curb instead of
extending into the streets as here-
tofore, but the traffic lanes have
been widened and safety greatly
enhanced. When angle parking was
used on both sides of business
streets, and frequently with lengthy
trucks extending well out into the
thoroughfare, there was often bare-
ly passing room on the street,
which caused congestion and a
serious danger was added when
cars and trucks were backing out
from the curb.
Apparently little objection is to
be voiced to the new regulations
except over the question of limited
parking on the court square, on
which there is diversity of opin-
ion. We have been in favor of strict
regulation of traffic all along and
believe that safety demands such
regulation, even though some in-
convenience to drivers may be
caused at times. In our opinion, the
enforcement of strict regulations
is not only of benefit to the care-
ful driver and the person who fa-
vors regulation, but also to. the
reckless driver who doesn’t want
it, for it may save the latter’s
life or keep him out of an acci-
dent that might result in ■sieri.dus
consequences to himself as well as
to others.

Quite probably, the book of the

i “Green Laurels” (Simon & Schuster).
This is so more because of Mr. Peat-
, tie’s genuine and infectious enthu-
siasm for its subject than because of ’
the matter it contains or the writing.
Not that the writing is bad; it’s mere-
ly high flown at times.
But Mr. Peattie likes to lie on his
stomach watching ants and other
minutiae of nature better than any-
thing else in the world. And the men
who through history have established
natural science are obviously the
men Mr. Peattie would like best and
respect most highly. He believes that
in nature “nothing is insignificant,
nothing sinful, nothing repetitious.”
Certainly the first two seem unchal-

WASHINGTON, August 1.—This is the GHQ of the
great effort of John L. Lewis and his followers to
organize the five-billion-dollar steel industry.
It is also the seat of as sympathetic a government
as ever watched a major industrial conflict develop
in America.
If you want to follow the Battle of Steel blow by
blow, you will have to train your telescope on Wash-
ington as often as you turn it to the actual firing
line.
You will have to watch the quarters of the Com-
mittee for Industrial Organization, the handsome
offices of Lewis and the powerful United Mine Work-
ers two blocks away, and the American Federation
of Labor building, where an executive council has
pondered whether it dared suspend any or all the
12 C. I. O. unions, with their 1,250,000 members.
And you will have to watch the White House and
half a dozen federal agencies where what happens to
the C. I. O. in its struggles with both the steel cor-
porations, and the A. F. of L. craft unions is a mat-
ter of intense concern,
# #
Steel is the industry bn which our machine civ-
ilization rests. It is the most powerful foe of organiz-
ed labor. Its defeat would bring labor victories in all
mass production industries—-and probably a turn in
history.
Not only does the C. .1. O. drive in steel and other
industries tie in closely with the political campaign;
success of this demand by labor for an economic and
political voice may influence the trend of events for
decades.
Already it is common talk that the C. I. O., if it
lives, will be the nucleus for a strong labor or farmer-
labor party in 1940.
For this year, however, there is a close alliance be-
tween John Lewis and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Lewis
sat in at £he White House on the Democratic plat-
form plank for labor.
In Washington and in Pennsylvania, Lewis; who
is nobody’s humble lieutenant, is using the Demo-
cratic politicians. And they are using him. New Deal
strategists think they have a fine chance in Penn-
sylvania.
Steel, pitching the key for Big Business in its rela-
tions with labor, is the outstanding target of those

BATHING
Presumably the fundamental
purpose of the bath is to clean
the body. This is indeed essential
in the light of the fact that man
wears so much clothing and he
thereby interferes with the free
evaporation of the skin’s secre-
tions and excretions. Also, living in
an artificial atmosphere, he is ex-
posed to dust, smoke, dirt and grime
which accumulate on his skin.

Anyway, Mr. Peattie’s plan is to
survey the entire field of natural his-
tory, beginning with the old herbal-
ists. To do so much in one volume it
was necessary to seine out a few
fishes, and leave a great many more

WARFARE AGAINST CANCER
Cancer is a disease* against which
improved sanitation is not capa-

sonal hygiene has but a limited ap-
plication. It is. therefore,-necessary
to attack this scourge in some other
way.
The organized warfare against
cancer which is being carried on in
all civilized countries, aims to dis-
cover the individual cases of the
disease at the earliest possible mo-
ment and provide competent med-
ical attention for the patient. There
must be hospital and home care of
a proper kind.

We are net certain that limited
parking regulations' are altogether
feasible, without the use of the
parking meter. This meter is the
greatest 'forward sijep in con;-
troiling parking! that ever has been
taken, for it automatically takes
care of the time limit without the
aid of officers, except as to the
checking of the meters to see that
the time has not been consumed.
However, We are bitterly opposed
to double parking, which we count
as one of the greatest possible
traffic dangers and one of. the
most selfish of practices, and many
merchants have said that unless
there was a time limit for parkers
they felt their business would be
handicapped, if double parking was
prohibited, since the long-Slim#

acquiesced. It is fortunate for him that he did. Be-
fore the dawn of the next day his cold, agitated by

controlled orders as those quoted
can come from mothers. Go into- a
park on a hot August . day, how-
ever, or else listen to the voices
