GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10, 1932. , NO. 40. ^ News Review of Current Events the World Over V Presidential Campaign Closed in Lively Fashion?Recov ery in Industry Seems at Hand?Plan for Disposal of Farm Surplus. By EDWARD W. PICKARD FAST and furious were the gyra tions of the candidates and their active supporters during the closing week of the campaign, and every known argument was brought to bear on the 47,000,000 quali fied voters of the United States, of whom the experts be lieved nearly 40,000, 000 would go to the polls. The electors seemed loth to yield to excitement but were dogged and de termined, and prob ably had made up their minds long be no 4-/V kniw 4l<nn Herbert Hoover , iwic ua lu nun IIICJ would cast their ballots. The results of the electloD will be known to most of the readers of this column before It reaches them, so predictions are not In order. , President Hoover's Hnnl effort In his campaign carried him to Spring field, 111.; St. Louis, Mo.; Gary, Ind., and then up to St. Paul, Minn. On the route he made many platform speeches, but his main addresses were In the cities named. The tour constituted his last attempt to capture the G9 electoral votes of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin; and his arguments wer also directed to the agricultural vote of Ohio, Nebras ka, Kansas, Michigan and the Da kotas. Before leaving Washington for the Middle West the President had spoken vigorously in New York city, Philadelphia, and other points In the East, and had made an especial ap peal by radio tc the voters of Cali fornia, his home state. Governor Roo~evelt's main speech of the week was delivered In Bos ton. A driving rain storm and his desire to get back quickly to Albany lea mm to aisnppoini waiting crowds la Hartford, Bridgeport, and other cities of the New England area. The final days of the campaign were spent by the Demo cratic candidate close to home, but he did not cease to talk to the electorate. Since his nomination he had visited 37 states, the only ones omitted being seven In the Franklin D. Roosevelt solid Demoqpitic South and Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. SI'EAKINQ to his 300 associates on the New Tork citizens committee of the emergency unemployment re lief committee. Myron C. Taylor, chair man of the United States Steel cor lioratlon, declared that the general Industrial situation was more prom ising than It had been for two years. He said it was quite evident "that re covery from the low point of last summer lias appeared" and that this recovery "is definite and progressive." His brief address was made at the committee's first meeting preparatory to the launching of the $15,000,000 drive for funds from the public for unemployment relief. Encouraging, too, was the news from .leiTerson City, Mo., that the citizen's relief and unemployment committee of St. Louis told Governor Caulfield that mild weather and an upturn in industry made It unneces sary to use any of the $209,000 ap portioned to St. Louis by the Recon struction Finance corporation for re lief In September. E. C. Steger, a di rector of the'committee, said unex pected Increases In orders, particular ly in the garment and shoe Indus tries and In nilroad shops, with much highway work In progress, made avail able relief funds adequate. JUST at a time when corn and wheat were selling on the market at the lowest prices on record, there was staged In Kendall county. Illi nois. a demonstration of a plan that might wipe out In two years the en tire surplus of farm products, accord ing to the county farm bureau and J. J Oroetken of Aurora. It simply Is the mixing of ethyl alcohol die tilled from corn and other products with gasoline for motor fuel, the pro portion of alcohol being 10 per cent Resides using up the grain surplus. It was pointed out, the move would aid materially In conserving the natural supplies of petroleum In the United States, now being consumed si a rate that la "reducing the national supply at an alarmlna oac*r The demonstration tended to bear out research reports which have been compiled from several European coun tries and by the American government on the value of ethyl alcohol as a mo tor fuel. Two and one-half gallons of alcohol are obtained from a bushel of corn, two and one-fourth gallons from a bushel of wheat, while barley, pota toes, beets, cantaloupes, and other sur plus products produce high yields. At present the use of such alcohol, even when rendered poisonous and soluble In gasoline, is restricted by the pro hibition laws as well as byuhe com plications of state and federal gas taxes. CHARGES that private contractors on federal flood control projects along the lower Mississippi river were mistreating negro laborers, mentioned la this column some weeks ago, led Presi dent Hoover to ap point a committee of three negroes and one white man to make Immediate Inquiry Into the situation. The men named were Dr. Robert R. M o t o n, president of Tuskegee Institute; Judge James A. Cobb of Washington, D. C., and Eugene Knlckle Jones, executive sec Dr. R. R. Moton retary of the Urban League of New York, representing the negro race, and Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, representing the United States army. A White House announcement of the appointment said the Chief Execu tive had asked this committee "to make a thorough and impartial in quiry as promptly as possible" and report the results of the investigation to him immediately. LONG and efficient service for the State department was recognized and rewarded when the President selected F. Lamont Belln of Waverly, Pa., to be ambassador to Poland. He succeeds John N. Willys of Toledo, who resigned not long ago to resume his business duties. Mr. Belln Is a veteran In the United States diplo matic corps, having served in the em bassies at Pelplng, Istanbul, Paris, and London, and as chief of the State de partment division of protocols and In ternational treaties. He resigned the latter post In March, 193L Announcement was made in New York of the engagement of Miss Elisabeth Reeve Morrow.daugb ter of Mrs. Dwlght W. Morrow and sister-in-law of Col. Charles A. Lind bergh, to Aubrey Nlel Morgan, son of Mr. and Mrs. John L Morgan of Brynderwen, Wales. The date for the wedding has not been set Miss Morrow and Mr. Morgan met while her father, the late Senator Dwlght W. Morrow, was attending the Lon don naval conference In 1930. She and her mother had accompanied Senator Morrow to London. Since that time Miss Morrow has visited in England.^ having passed three months In the summer of 1931 In Europe. STRICT censorship keeps from the world most of the news concern ing the warfare between Bolivia and Paraguay over the Gran Chaco, but It Ii known that the fighting continues with Increasing fury. The minister of war at La Paz has an nounced that Gen. Hans Kundt, 3erman military expert who organized and trained Bolivia's m d e r n army, has consented to lead that army against the Paraguay ans. The latter ap pear to have compe tent commanders. Gen. Hani Kundt . .|m. -f ,-inM. also, auu note oiiuitu uu oi^uo u> j .v>u Ing to their opponents. The Argentine war ministry at Buenos Aires stated that many deserters from the Bolivian forces operating In the Gran Cbaco were entering Argentine territory. GENERAL election day In Cuba was marked by many Instances of violence, the worst of which was the explosion of a powerful dynamite bomb In a theater In Santa Clara, rive of the 000 persons In the bnllrt Ing were killed and many Injured. In vestigators said the crime was com mitted by Conservatives In retaliation f*r what they claimed were govern ment controlled elections. President Mnchndo's Liberal party candidates were returned overwhelm ing victors In the voting. In which two senators, 72 representatives, and offi cials of most Cuban cities were chosen. It was estimated that 80 per cent of the eligible voters did not vote, either through lack of Interest or because they heeded the 4)lcas of the opposition to boycott the election. DEATH claimed two especially well known Americans. They were Horace Kent Tenney, Chicago attor ney who was prominent In his profes sion, and Harold MncUrnth, whose novels and short stories had pleased millions of readers. IF THE disarmament coilference, * whose bureau resumed work Thurs day In Geneva, does not wind up In utter failure, much of the credit will go to i\ or inn ? uuvis, representative of the United States. He has been exceedingly busy in European capitals, trying to reconcile the views and demands of the various powers. Especially was he in terested in the new French plan laid be fore the bureau, which calls for the adoption of an army cbnscrlpt system and the writ Norman Davit tog or new security treaties, in a ; conversation with Premier Herrlot . and Minister of War Paul-Boncour, Mr. Davis said the United Stntes was unable to commit Itself to the use of force in defense of the Kellogg pact . outlawing war, though it accepted the Idea of consultation in case of viola tlon of tlie pact M. Herriot told Mr. Davis that his proposal for the substitution of pro fessional armies with short-term con script forces did not apply to the Unit ed States and was confined to conti nental Europe, excluding even Eng land. It was believed in Berlin that this proposal might Induce Germany to re sume participation in the disarmament conference provided the other powers agree that all agreements reached shall apply equally to ull the signa tories, including Germany. JAPAN has its bands full with Man chukuo and the Chinese irregulars that are operating there In an effort to overthrow the puppet state. The situation In the northern half of Man chukuo was reported to be especially dangerous, the Japanese bold on the Important city of Tsltslhar being im periled. Two bloody battles were fought about one hundred miles north of that point and though the Japanese claimed victory In both, they lost a good many men, and were troubled by the discovery that Mnnchukuan troops were revolting and Joining the Chi nese. This revolt, the Japanese ad mitted, was spreading. In addition to the thrust from the north, the Japanese control was threatened from the northwest by Gen. Su Ping-wen and his Chinese irregu lars, who for some weeks have occu pied the city of Manchuli on the Si berian frontier.

BURGESS FfcTfcK KABBIl'5 LAS I DOUBT IS CLEARED AWAY Though you say you believe that a thing Is so, And you do your best to believe, you know. It will happen a doubt In your mind will creep And quite refuse to be put to sleep. A LITTLE doubt like this will keep right on bothering, and the only way In which It can be put to sleep Is by finding for yourself the proof that what you are trying to believe Is so. Peter Rabbit said that he be lieved all Llghtfoot the Deer had told him about his wonderful horns, and how they had grown In a single summer. He did believe It while be was with Llghtfoot, for hadn't Jumper the Hare said that It was true. But when Peter got back to the dear Old Itrler Patch and thought It all over doubt crept Into bis mind In spite of him. He told little Mrs. Peter all about 1L When he had finished she looked at blm quecrly. -Peter," said she, "If someon should come along and tell you that he could take his head off and put It back on again, I believe you would be lieve It. It Is my opinion that Llght foot was stuffing you and that Cousin Jumper was backing him up lust to see how big a yarn they could make you swallow." "But, my dear, 1 tell you that I saw the rags of the covering that .had been on those borns while they were grow ing." protested Peter. -Perhaps you did and perhaps you didn't," retorted unbelieving Mrs. Peter Rabbit. "I don't doubt you saw rags of some kind on Llghtfoot's horns, but It will take more than his word to make me believe that those are new horns grown this last sum mer. It doesn't sound reasonable. Now, does R, Peter?" "No. It doesn't," confessed Peter; "but there are so many things happen ing all the time that don't sound rea sonable that I don't know when to be lieve a thing and when not to." Peter had planned to go about among his friends and tell them all about Llghtfoot's new horns, for he suspected that few of them knew about them. But after his talk with Mrs Peter he changed his mind. Tou see doubt had crept in, and In spite of all he could do It stayed there. He tried to make himself believe that he believed that story, but that miser able doubt persisted. So, though his tongue fairly Itched to tell the story of Llghtfoot's new horns, he kept II still. One night when Mistress Moon was shining brightly Peter wandered deep In the Green Forest until presently he found himself on the edge of a swampy place. It was the very place where Llghtfoot the Deer had spent the win ter when the snow was deep. Peter hopped along aimlessly. He was think ing so bard that he dlijn't watch bis steps, and presently he stepped on something that hurt bis foot. "Ouch I" be cried, and looked to see what It was he had stepped on. Stick ing out of the soft wet earth was what Peter at first thought was a sharp pointed stick. But when he looked s little more closely he saw that It was different from any stick he had ever seen before. The point was smooth and polished, and when later Peter tried his teeth on It he found he made no Impression on 1L At once be be gan to dig around It to see what the rest of It was like. It wasn't long be for# be found that there were other points, a mougni nasueu 1010 reier s head, and he made the soft earth fair ly fly as he dug, for Peter was growing more and more excited. At last he had uncovered all of the queer stick with several points. It wasn't a stick at all. It was one of Llghtfoot's old horns. There was no question about that. There It lay right In front of him. Peter gave a great sigh of pure happiness. That bother some doubt In his mind had been put to sleep forever. Llghtfoot had said that his old horns had dropped off somewhere, and here was one of them to prove It. "I.lghtfoot's story was truer' cried Peter Joyfully. "Now Mrs. Peter will have to believe It. If she don't I'll make her come over here and see this born for herself. When you tell a story that's hard to believe there Is nothing like hnvlng proof that It Is true." Peter Jumped up In the air, kicked his long Jieels together and then started for home, llpperty-llpper ty-llp. to tell Mrs. Peter what he had found. <?. 1931. byT. W. Burgess.)?WNU Service.

PENNY THINGS By DOUGLAS MALLOCH TUB Uttle steps of little feet go romping here and there; I bear them in the crowded street, I hear them ev'rywhere; And little feet find life a song and youth a time of play. The Journey short, however long, with joys along the way. The street an alley, little more, the children are content; They find the windows of a store a land of wonderment. Though stories tell of queens and kings, and silk and lace and ruff. The windows full of penny things are wonderful enough. I wish that we could go our way sa Uttle children, too. And find our pleasure In today, as Ut tle children do. They have their dreams as well at ours, their castles gilt and glass. And yet they pause to pick the flow'ra that blossom where they pass. However bright the rainbow gleams, how great the pot of gold. The children know that dreams are dreams?but here's a band to hold. And here's a window and a toy, and here's a top that sings; They never overlook the Joy God pota In penny things. We build our castles In the air, our battlements In Spain, But, if we never Journey there, the other Joys remain. ? So let us do as children do, wbo dream of fairyland. And yet who know the pleasure, too, of pleasure close at band. I hope we never dream so much, as through the world we go. Whatever heights we ever touch, what ever depths we know. We never feel the thrill of yore, the thrill that childhood brings. Before the windows of a store Just full of penny things! ? 1111.
