DEFINITIONS . . . tatlw litwal"
I hoar a great many pe-pie U9%
old words with now meanings. This
results in confused thinking u 2 -understanding,
especially when folk
are talking about political matters. !
The word Liberal" Is f?ue which
J. hear often looijely used as if it
meant the same thing as Radical."
A Libera] scheme 01 government is
one in which the rights of every minority
group, however small, are recognizee
and protected. It is. I believe.
the idea] of every intelligent
thinker on political matters. And it
is not necessary to have a democracy
to have a Liberal government; :n a
broad sense the British government
is Liberal, and so are other European
monarchies.
But the governments of Germany.
Russia and Italy today are anything
but Liberal; and I seem to see signs
that the Government of the United
States is slipping away from its old
Liberal attitude.
KADI C AI ASM . . . its meaning
"Radical" is another good word i(
that has had its meaning corrupted
It means, literally, getting down to
the roots of things. Now it is generally
understood to mean a man or a
group that exists to upro ?t every
thing that exists and turn the world i
topsy-turvy. :
The word "Conservative" is also i
being carelessly used, as if it meant i
one who was opposed to any change 1
... v.... ... '
things. T know 3 goo : many genuine
Conservatives, and without exception ;
they are entirely spmyathetic to the
ultimate ideals . f even some who are .
classes as extreme radical
One has to be careful, these days,
in discussing anything of a political
nature., 1 - make sure that both parties
to, the discussion mean the same
thing with die same words.
CI.ASSKK . not live
One of the reasons why ill.ted
fitates has become Urn moat powerful
and the most preposterous hntion
in the world is the sitter abaeaco
of any "class" system em r its people.
Oa the one ham! have no
peasantry tied to th,- sail; or. the
other we have no hercdita: y jristcvracy.

therefore, with every ca vemen; which
wou'td tend to separate Americans
into d'stuicl classes" ir. which they
are condemned to remain. T don r believe
it can be done. We have not yet
exhausted opportunity for individual
independence.
MONEYMAKERS . . . a tvm
I hive 8 friend who occupies a high
position in the Federal Government
and has a background o? -.vide business
experience. Dining with him in
Washington a few evenings ago, he
dropped this new idea:
"If I were President of the United
States, trying to bring the nation out
of an economic crisis," he said, "I'd
have the Treasury Department examine
all tile income tax returns and
discover who are the best money-makers
in the country. Then I would put
those mer. in the key positions, instead
of filling the high posts with
men who never made a dollar in their
fives. Tliey would be able to point the
way out of the depression with plans
that would work."
I pom ted out that that wouldn't be
good politics. Any President that did
that would be accused of "aelHng nut
to Wall Street." My. friend agreed
that was a practical difficulty in the
way of his idea, but I think it's a
pretty sound thought, at that.
ANXriTIES . . . grow ill favor
7 have a friend, a young doctor,
who isn't worrying about his future.
As fast as he can get hold of SlOil
that he doesn't need to use. he tells
me, he buys an annuity contract from
one of the big life insurance companies,
which will begin when he is sixty
to pay him a pension for the rest
of his life, and ii he should die sooner,
ail he has paid in will be returned to
bils hcira.
"Any man who tries to pick his
j?-? *j uivcauiieura Ui" to XfldKK HlOTlCy i
by speculating in stocks is a plain
sucker," he remarked. "Nobody can
make money in that way unless he
gives his v.-hole time to it, and n busy
professional man hasn't the time or
the ability to study investments. If
the big life insurance companies can't
do better with my money than I can,
then their management is incompetent,
and I don't believe it in. And if
they smash, the whole country will
smash and I'll be no worse off in one
case than in the other."
Insurance men tell me that, a rapidly
growing number of business and
; professional men are buying present
or deferred annuities, either for lump
tor on instalment payments.

of wasps' nests that the olseov1s
completely fooled.

Banner Elk Byron Pritchott,;

E'.k. ' working on the piaHi of
Piiik-Aiekness, under the direction of
Dr. \V C Tate, chief-of-stat:
V Priichett :> poisoning a sheep [
with yich-weetl, sometimes known ;ts j
white sr.akeroot. About two weeks
time vi.'i be necessary for the sheep,
to die. he says, find every other day,
he taking bkoi teste to record the
loss of blood sugar and changes in \
fat metabolism. Upon the death of
the animal the kidneys and ether or-j
gans tltst seem abnormal wilt be sent ]
to the laboratories of Duke L'r.tvcr- j
sity for a pathological report. The i
Duke examiners will report in detail j
on the changes in the structure of i
the organs.
So far as is known Mr. Pritchett
i is the only technician engaged ir j
j milk-sickness research in Western i
[ North Carolina. Over ten years ago
j Gov-; rnment scientists visited this
I section, without discovering the cause
or cure of the disease. During the
past summer it has revived, after a
lapse of several years. There has t>een
one death and several serious cases
at Grace Hospital.
Ricbweed or white anakeroot is
commonly believed to be the cause
of the disease, communicated through
the milk to calves and to people,
without causing sickness in the cc.v
itself Mountain people in the Banner
Elk region have for generations
fenced cff low. swampy and shady
parts of their pastures in which cows
have been thought to have contracted
the milk-sickness. After such parts
of the pastures are fenced off, residents
claim, the disease ceases. Old
inhabitants attribute a decline in
milk-sickness to the clearing of the
land, reducing the moisture in the
cattle grazing area. Popular belief
ascribes the cause not to any plant
hut to a vapor of some sort rising]
from copper and ohter minerals in
