Where Science Fails
Scientists haw made two new and very important
discoveries in the state of old Virginia recently. Two
ancient stone stools were iound, one on the Rapidan
River, the other on Dognes Run, near Fredericksburg.
The ici?'ists sav these stools were used eighteen
thousand years before Christ. They say they were
kitchen stools, and there is where the glory of science
shines.
We do not dispute their accuracy as to the time,
because 18,000 years to the scientists is only as a
day. The thing that puzzles this writer is how they
can tell whether these were kitchen stools, or even
whether our ancestors as far back as 18,000 years
had kitchens or not. They may have done their cook- |
ing in the parlor or bedroom, or perhaps they ate
grass on the plains and nuts in the trees.
We certainly have to hand it to these scientists.
They can tell to a day just how long ago a man ate
his dinner and what kind of a stool he sat on 18,000
years ago. About the only thing they cannot teH 4s?
just how old a woman is these days, when all ages
use the same paint and wear the same skirts.
Getting At the Truth -
. " ~-'^flf^XVtysiU.V W-V MKnui.-iiZ*..- ?'???
The Government has adopted the pnly safe plan
of getting at the truth about production, by requir
ing publication of individual claims as to the number
of acres of corn and number of hogs produced by
signers of the corn-hog contract. This plan will prac
tically eliminate the trouble that we had in the to
bacco and cotton contracts.
Publicity is the unly thing that will make some
people tell the truth.
if the contents and derails nf every public mat.
ter could be known by all the neighbors who are af
fected by such deals, such apian would save ten times
the cost of such publication
Crooked deals are seldom made when the dealer
expects to be discovered. The same principle applies
to the thief who gets the goods when no one is look
ing.
If the claimed acreage of every farmer had been
posted, we would not have had so much trouble in
adjusting contracts.
Income From Liquor Taxes
The government is very much disappointed with
the income Irom liquor taxes. Repealists predicted
in the neighborhood of a billion dollars tax money
would roil in from liquor sales, but they now admit
their disappointment.
A Coofft U wisn from Massachusetts has Introduced
a bill to low the tax from $2 to $1.10 per gallon,
which, he says, will cut out the bootlegger and in
crease drinking to the point that the government will
get the same amount of tax money.
Cutting out the bootlegger is quite all right, but
when a Congressman falb to the point wliere he is
willing to encourage drinking to get revenue, we are
brought to the point of sorrow and grief.
So far as the bootleggers and tax-dodgers are con
cerned, they wiH still be here?not quite so bad, per
haps,?with a $1.10 tax as when it is $2. But the
registered and licensed distiller will not pay tax on all
his output. Most of them will dodge from a fourth
to a half of their production The unregistered and
unlicensed distillery will also thrive just as it always
has, before and during the time of prohibition laws.
Regardless of whether people are for or against
alcoholic liquor, there is one thing that is always true
?that is that liquor a always against man.
Sees No Danger oi War
Frank B. KeUogg. fanner Secretary of Sute, says
he aees no dancer of another war.
We think he io entirely right, yet there it but one
icaaon why we will not have a great war before the
?timer ia ower, and that h that Japan and Hitler
are afraid.
The dhpneitinn for a war it centered in the very
hearts af several nation*, but they are afraid. Some
of theas an la know that a war now would mean
i sowar of the nations and to many
thwt ia no war in sight,

Tragic Lessons Unheeded
We law iw triticiaed lit. Hoewr for being dte
honest What we did criticise him for was hit colos
sal stupidity in thinking the best way to have pros
perity was to let business regulate and direct the
methods of recovery.
Yet, with all the tragic lessons that we have had
in the past few years, many of our Democrats are ad
vocating the same fool stunt that Mr. Hoover was
ty of.
Watch the fellows who talk of the virtues- of the
New Deal, and yet who stab it in the back every time
they get a chance There is danger in some of our
leading Democratic Congressmen getting the same
viewpoint that Mr. Hoover had?that of letting the
big boys have their way.
The Wisest of Recovery Plans
The trend of the government's relief program to
ward the rural rehabilitation projects is the wisest of
all the recovery plans.
It is not wise for the government to do too much
for man, but it is wisdom to help him to do some
thing for himself Let the government furnish the
j seed, but not hoe the corn; that is tlse job of the in
I dividual.
One of our great needs is a more earnest determina
tion in the individual to do for himself and not run
i to some relief agency to feed him when he is well
| able to work for himself. In fact, many people have
i applied for help who need to be ashamed of them
l selves.
Ghost Under the Bed
T ranscript-Mrssenger.
In an address at the Southern States Industrial
Council in Atlanta John E. Edgerton repeats the cry
of some Southern manufacturers that the South is
going to the dogs and bow wows if they are not per
mitted to pay wages lower than manufacturers in the
North.
He finds a new ghost under the bed. The workers
of the North and East will invade our sunny South
if they can get as much here as in the North, he
wails. "We will have to learn to speak seven or
eight languages," and "accustom ourselves to alien
standards, customs and philosophies."
I have never been able to see the logic in such reas
oning. The "alien standards" he refers to are stan
dards" he refers to are standards which would permit
the Southern wage earner a better home, more com
forts, better educational advantages for his children,
more of those things which 'go to make life worth
while.
And if we had to learn seven or eight languages,
the better educated we would be, the more free from
prejudice, the broader in our viewpoint.
I think that the Southern manufacturer should be
ashamed to demand wage differentials, wage differen
tials bought at the expense of the misery of his work
ers.
A Long Neglected Resource

(and in other counties as well) to locate children
and widows of veterans, and any others in direct need
of help and unable to get it, is a fine thing. The cry
of a child with no one to. answer that cry with a help
ing hand is a tragic thing to witness. The writer saw
not long ago a sweet-faced little girl who had just been
stricken with tuberculosis, and whose parents were
not ableTthey stated, to buy milk for her, to say
nothing of owning a cow or of placing the little girl
in a sanatorium for care and treatment. We also saw
not long ago a crippled child who could very likely
be made whole and well by a little needed care, per
haps an operation and a little medical treatment . . .
but because the parents are too poor to hire a surgeon,
and because the case is not acute enough to come in
as a necessary "charity" operation or case ... it goes
on, and the child will grow up pitifully unable to care
for himself when grown. Children are worth more
ihan COWS, Ttogs, forests, and the many objects cared

that of all our boasted natural resources, the greatest
resource we have is human beings, people and chil
dren, who make up the country. It is a fine thing
that steps are being taken to improve this resource
at its beginning?children, for without a healthy,
vigorous crop of youngsters coming up there can be
no lasting program of human progress in this, our

A Woman's Job
Sampson Independent.
Perhaps the wost dread task of a newspaperman is
that of writing up a marriage, and in most cases that
responsible duty is passed on to the society editor^
who, in most cases, is a woman. Yet there are ex
ceptions to all rules and occasionally you will find a
male reporter who can do justice even to a wedding.
One of that type recently was discovered in a
small Kansas town, and his manner of covering a
wedding is such as to arouse the envy of any lady
reporter. Here is a sample of his ability in that par
ticular line of reporting:
"It was a wonderful wedding. The girl was as
sweet as any girl who ever lived; but modern. As
she walked up the aisle on her father's arm, her lips
lightly tilted at the corners with a happy smile, she
was a picture of modest beauty. Her filmy wedding
gown and gossamer veil floated around her fair blond
head like a halo. She was as nearly an angel as girls
get to be in this world. At the altar, as she passed
from her father, the man she always loved, to the
other man, to whom she would devote the rest Of her
life, her dainty slipper touched a potted lily resting
on the floor and turned it over. Smiling again she
turned to the dear old pastor and said: "That was
a hell of a place to put a lily."
CAMELS START
NEW CAMPAIGN
Important Facts for Smok
ers Brought To Light
In Series of Ads
The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany has just released an intensive
new nation-wide campaign of news
paper advertising for Camel cigar
ettes. As revealed in the first adver
? tisement appearing in this newspaper
this week, the new campaign embodies
t important facts for smokers which
throw a new light upon our past
? knowledge of cigarettes.
| A basic scientific discovery has
I been made in a famous New York
research laboratory concerning Cam
el cigarettes and their "energizing ef
' feet"?which means that the flow of
? normal, natural energy is restored,
i Thus an almost immediate relief from
fatigue is accomplished by smoking
, a Camel.
During the day one's "energy curve',
i varies a great deal?frequently drops
below normal. That's when fatigue
and?irritability?put?in their appear-;
j ancc. The "energizing" effect of i
I Camels has long been recognized by
j Camel smokers, but even science has
1 nut been able to explain it until now.1
] Summing up with a popular slogan,
each advertisement carries the remind
er that you can "Get a Lift With a
Camel"?at any time, as often as you
like?because the finer, more expen
sive tobaccos used in the manufacture
of Camel cigarettes never interfere
with healthy nerves.
The first advertisement in this new
and impressive series proclaims in
large size display type, "News- Science
Reveals Important New Facts tur~
Smokers," accompanied by a chart
showing the variable energy curve
which people experience during the
day. Tli# illustration depicts an at
tractively gowned girl, all ready for
a party but "Too Tired for Fun," fol
lowed by the caption, "And Then She
Smoked a Camel," and a picture show
' ing her refreshed and ready for the
gaiety and fun of a social evening.
| Present plans call for frequent ap
pearance of this striking new cam
j paign, which embodies interesting and
j informative news from the field of
science.
