THE TOMORROWS
OF AMERICA
THE TOMORROWS OF AMERI
CA will be radically different as
compared with the ISO years of yes
terdays.
We have changed our philosophy
of living, our way of life. Whether
for better or for worse, only time
will tell. We are sailing a socialistic
sea, but what specific form of so
cialism is not yet apparent.
That the tomorrows of America
will produce another Henry Ford is
improbable. Individual initiative
will not be encouraged as it was
during the yesterdays. The effect
such a course may have on our con
tinued increase in national wealth is
today unknown.
During the 150 years of yester
days, government was supported by
the people, it was the servant of the
people. For the tomorrows, the peo
ple expect support from the govern
ment; they are willing that govern
ment shall be the master.
Will it work? Only time will tell.
Within another year America will
have a national debt of $100,000,000,
000 or more. That is approximately
one-third of the total of our national
wealth. It is much more than the
total of national income for one
year.
To what extent can government
continue to support the people of
America? To what limit can such a
system be financed?
Can, and will, government create
wealth as the American profit sys
tem has created it during the ISO
years of yesterdays?
The change from the yesterdays
we have known, and under which
we have prospered, to the question
able tomorrows has come to us
through a revolution which we asked
for and insisted upon, but which we
did not recognize. By classes?vo
cations?we have demanded special
consideration. We have asked for
and received class legislation to
benefit one minority after another.
Those of each class or vocation have
considered only themselves, not the
American people as a whole, and
have been given what they asked
for.
We can look forward to the path of
the tomorrows with trepidation, but
with a hope, at least, that it may
lead us to a desirable destination
It is a path we are to follow regard
less.

TOOK BALLYHOO TO SELL
LIBERTY BONDS ,
THE UNITED STATES will offer
us war savings stamps, "baby"
bonds, and regular government
bonds, the sale of which will at least
partially pay for our own prepared
ness and our aid to England.
Will the American people buy in
any considerable quantity without an
accompanying sales ballyhoo?
The first World war was financed
largely by the sale of government
bonds, but that sale was effected
only by a vigorous and spectacular
sales campaign. The effort was to
sell to the people, not to the banks.
The government wished the people?
the Toms, Dicks and Harrys?to
have a direct financial interest In
the war, to have them feel it was
actually their war and that they
were the fellows who wanted to see
the Kaiser properly licked.
With spectacular showmanship the
government put it'over in the large
cities for the first loan. It did not
work so well in the country, where
big parades, scores at "minute
men," speeches and other spectacu
lar methods could not be applied.
For the second and future loans,
the aoverBment appealed tof sup
port to the country press. It pro
posed to publishers that they sell un
derwritten advertising to local mer
chants, banks, churches, lodges and
to individuals. Country newspaper
publishers did that to the extent of
more than 500,000 pages from the
second to the Victory loan. In re
sponse to that advertising, people of
rural America bought Liberty boods.
The national treasury can sell gov
ernment boods by telling the banks
how much each must take. But can
it sell them to the extent of several
billions to people of America with
out arousing through some method
an enthusiasm tor preparedness and
for aid to England? That is a ques
tion to be answered. My guess would
be Moo.M
We would all like to see the Euro
? pean dictators licked. We do not
approve of them, but we should like
L, to have some idea as to what the
result of such a licking would be.
*. - WID It result in a better world for
all concerned, or will it be but a
prelude to more rivalry, more self
ishness, more greed, and in the end,
more war?
What are we paying for, and possi
bly fighting for?

Cold, Hungry,
Paris Fights On
City Opposes Germans With
Derision and Passive
Resistance.
PARIS. ? The winter that has
struck Paris is the worst that the
capital of France has known since
the Middle ages. It is harder than
the winter of 1789, when, told that
the people had no bread. Queen Ma
rie Antoinette said: "Why don't they
eat cake?" It is harder than that
of 1870 during the siege by the ar
mies of Bismarck, when the ani
mals in the Jardin des Plantes (the
zoo) were eaten.
Paris is freezing. Only the houses
occupied by the Germans enjoy
heating. And what heating! Rooms
are overheated and stoves red to
such a degree that several boilers
in these privileged habitations have
burst, while in neighboring quar
ters the plumbing cracked because
of the cold, says a New York Times
correspondent.
At these German-occupied apart
ments, generally the finest on the
best streets, trucklopds of coal are
arriving continually, to the fury of
the populace, whose hands and feet
are cracked by chilblains. The chil
dren pick up the pieces that occa
sionally fall, put them in their pock
ets or their school bags and carry
them to their parents, who have
merely a card for 12V4 kilograms
(about 27 pounds) of coal a month,
and cannot get even this meager
ration.
Hospitals Besieged.
Unemployed persons of the com
fortable classes have entered the
service of the city of Paris to clean
the ice from the streets. Their mis
ery is great, but they still show
traces of their one-time comfort?
felt hats, elegant scarfs, gloves.
Every morning when the hospitals
open their doors, they are faced by
a crowd of weeping parents bring
ing their frozen children.
The tortures of hunger are added
to those of cold. .
At the beginning of the winter, the
Germans did not fear, at the risk of
provoking riots, to break through the
lines of housewives waiting for
hours before the doors of the shops
and to carry off at one swoop and in
a minute the thousand little bits
destined for famished homes.
The doctors shake their heads.
New maladies appear; they are fa
miliar to those who have helped
save the starving people along the
Volga or the victims of famine in
India. *
News is spread by grapevine, be
cause the real Parisian does not
reed the papers. What's the use?
Hp*does not go to the movies any
mere either because there are none
but German films and German
ntwsreels. Besides, the newsreels
are shown with all the lights on to
avoid demonstrations that it would
be impossible to suppress in the
dark. But the lights do not prevent
the derisive laughter, the intangi
ble, unpunishable sneering that
makes the occupying authority mad
with rage.
Loyal to Britain.
Of course, one abstains from
meeting Germans. One abstains
from the slightest contact with
them. One even abstains from ap>
pearing to see them when one en
counters them. The population turns
its collective back when the Ger
mans march. If a stroller meets
them he assumes a vague look and
seems to be gazing beyond them.
It is out of order to telephone be
tween 1:15 and 1:30 p. m. and be
tween 9:15 and 9:30 p. m. because
then the English radio is on the air.
Everybody listens to London.
The loyalty of Paris toward its
English ex-ally is striking. One
dreams of nothing but British vic
tory. Only twice have the Germans
cared to sound the alert, because
on one occasion of the passage over
head of English airplanes the Pari
sians displayed so much joy that
the Germans have found it more
prudent to keep them in ignorance
of the flight of British planes
through the capital's skies.
Woman'* Button Collection
U Valued at $10,000
MALAGA, N. J.?Mr*. Gertrude
Patterson in (our years has built a
button collection with more than
40,000 specimens valued at more

One of her choice pieces, valued at
$900, is a soft stone button with a
heavy silver back. On it is inscribed
in old Arabic:
"God be praised. There is no
strength without the power of God."
"Buttons have been traced back

Apache Is Linked to
Tatal Custer Trap
Geronimo Plotted Downfall of
General? Is Story.
MEMPHIS?Sitting Bull wai a
glory-grabbing Indian politician and
it was Geronimo who plotted the
downfall of Gen. George A. Custer,
according to Jack Perry, veteran
student of Indian lore.
History may credit Sitting Bull
with the massacre. Perry said, but
Geronimo, an Apache chief, was the
creator of the trap in which Custer
made his last stand.
"My information came from Ge
ronimo himself," Perry said. "Sit
ting Bull was a politician and, just
like a politician, he got credit for the
crushing defeat of Custer while
somebody else did all the work. Ge
ronimo wouldn't talk about it much,
but from what he told me, I could
tell he was one of the leaders in the
plot. They said they had planned the
trap for a year before springing it."
Perry, who is one-fourth Cherokee
Indian, lives in Long Beach, Calif.
His colorful career in the old West in
cluded services as an outrider for
United States cavalry at the age of
13 and later as a Texas Ranger.
While he was a peace officer in
Arizona,. Perry became acquainted
with Geronimo.
"I had been sent to arrest him and
about 21 braves because they had
deserted a show," Perry said. "Ge
ronimo took a liking to me and gave
me a riding blanket. I've still got
this and a leather lunch basket he
gave me."
Perry's adventures have included
cowpunching, but the job he liked
best was that of an outrider. His
duties then were to establish contact
between cavalry headquarters and
companies of cavalrymen who were
out in the wilderness policing the In
dians.
Father Sends Sons to
Army to Reimburse U. S.
ST. PAUL.?As Sam Lee read the
black headlines of war and America's
preparedness efforts he began to
think about a young fellow who got
off a ship from Europe in New York
harbor 32 years ago.
Friendless and a fugitive from
"tyranny and revolution," as he put
it, the young {Rumanian got a job,
and because it was h^rd to say
"Leibowitz" he changed his name to
"Lee."
He remained in New York, reared
a family, saved his money and be
gan to enjoy the fruits of an Amer
ican standard of living. All this,
Sam Lee reflected upon as he read
the newspaper, flle was, you see, the
young man of 32 years ago.
Recently there appeared at Fort
Snelling for enlistment two well-built
brothers, Milton, 21, and Gerald Lee,
23. Residents of Brooklyn, they had
come here at the behest of their fa
ther, now a St. Paul furrier.
"I owe everything to this country,"
remarked the father. "My boys are
the most I have to give. I have been
happy in the United States. So, I
want to give my sons to this country
to help it remain what it is."
Power of Bomb Raited
10-Fold, Say* Inventor
SALT LAKE CITY.?A young Utah
inventor, J. Lloyd PetersoiL i> com
pleting work on a demolition bomb
that he believes will be 10 times as
deadly as any explosive now known.
United States army authorities
have inspected the missile and pri
vately described it as the first new
step in bomb development in the last
decade."
Pilots at the Fifth Air Base in Salt
Lake City have been authorized to
test the bomb when Peterson finishes
it.
According to the inventor, the new
bomb will have several advantages
over present types of aerial explo
sives.
It is inexpensive to manufacture,
employs materials readily available,
and in unlimited quantities, and is
much safer to handle than bombs
now in use.
Until it is released from an air
plane bomb rack, its "trigger"
pulled, the bomb won't explode.
Army fliers say a plane could make
a forced landing on rough terrain
while loaded with the bombs, and
without danger.

Mother Disappears
While on Search
For Dead Infant
Leading Son, 3, She Wanders
Into Obliyion as Her
Husband Hunts.
SAN FRANCISCO. ? Somewhere,
probably in this city, a woman was
wandering the other day in a daze
of tragedy, and with her trudged
her three-year-old son, unaware that
his mother was leading him, and
herself, toward an uncertain fate.
To prevent another and possibly
greater disaster from descending
upon the family, the woman's hus
band, discouraged and impover
ished by a two-month search, jour
neyed to San Francisco and ap
pealed to the police to help him.
He is Thomas B. Crotty, 36, of Walla
Walla, Wash., music teacher, vio
linist, one-time assistant concert
master of the Chicago Symphony or
chestra.
The woman whom he asked them
to help find is Mrs. Helen Schwartz
Crotty, 32, former art student in
Paris, France; mother of Charles
" Crotty, who died in his eighth month,
and of Thomas Crotty, 3, fellow wan
derer with his mother.
Once Happy Home.
Until last November, the Crotty
home in Walla Walla was as happy
as you may. Mr. and Mrs. Crotty,
who met in Paris while he was tour
ing Europe, worked day by day to
develop into reality their ambitious
dreams for their children.
Crotty bought a rare and expen
sive violin for son Thomas and the
child already had shown a talent for
playing. Charles, too, was to be a
musician, the parents agreed.
Then Charles died.
Less than two weeks after the
. funeral, ^Mrs. Crotty took Thomas by
the hand and walked out of her
home.
For six weeks there was no word
of the pair, and those six weeks
were Crotty's first taste of what hell
on earth can be like.
He closed his studio, packed a few
possessions, ranged the coast cities,
seeking some trace of his wife and
child.
He went down to San Francisco,
and at Christmas time his search
was rewarded. A friend had seen
Mrs. Crotty and the child?some
where in the Fillmore district. That
was all the friend knew.
Then Charles died.
Crotty haunted the Fillmore area
until one day he came face to face
with his wife and his baby.
unable to Explain Actions.
She hardly remembered, Crotty
said, how she and the child had
lived. The past was a blur. She
could think only of their dead child,
something Inside was urging her on,
ever onward, where she could not
say. v
But happy again with her husband,
she started back with him to Walla
Walla. At Portland they stopped to
visit friends. Mrs. Crotty suddenly
arose from a chair, said that Thom
as appeared ill and that she would
take him for a walk.
"The air might do him good," she
explained.
Crotty could not know that once
again his wife was answering an ir
resistible urge?the urge to seek
something she could never And. The
vision of the dead child, Charles,
must have been before her as she
led Thomas out of the Portland
house.
She never came back. Crotty has
never heard from her. He does not
know what may have befallen his
wife and their only surviving son,
but he believes they are in San
Francisco.
So he has taken up the long, weary
search again. Once again it has
brought him to San Francisco?

Resigned to Life
In 'Phobic Prison'
University Professor Has
Terror of Distance.
MADISON, WIS.?William EUery
Leonard, University of Wisconsin
professor, observed his sixty-fifth
birthday anniversary resigned to
spending his last years in his self
imposed "phobic prison."
Chained to a six-block campus dis
trict by terror1 of distance induced
by a roaring locomotive when he
was little more than two years old,
the white-haired poet-professor has
written of his phobia in his auto
biography, "The Locomotive-God."
Today, seated in his spaciously
windowed, third-floor campus apart
ment, the man whose flowing Wind
sor ties have been familiar to uni
versity students for 35 years, was
without hope of ever extending his
boundaries.
Furthermore, he said, he has no
plans for retiring from his teaching
position, although he is eligible to
do so.
"I plan to go on with my teach
ing," he said. "I feel well. I feel
the university needs me, and I'm
going to stick with my regular
work."
Although Mr. Leonard first was
stricken with the phobia while only
a child, it did not become pro
nounced until the tragic death of
his first wife, Charlotte Freeman
Leonard, which he described in
"Two Lives," a book of sonnets con
sidered to be among the finest in
the English language.
Sharing his prison walls is Char
lotte Charlton Leonard, his fourth
wife. She was his second wife, too,
and spent 20 years with him before
divorcing him in 1934. His third
wife was Grace Golden Leonard,
once his student, whom he married
in 1934 and from whom he was di
vorced in 1937.

"Listen," he said. And the ser

"I think it's a time bomb," calm
ly explained the caller.
"Down the hall, down the hall!
Take it to the Detective bureau!" i
rattled the sergeant.
A moment later Detective Capt.
Clarence McLaskey had the package
before him.
"Hear it?" asked the caller.
"Time bomb, I guess."
The captain tip-toed around his
desk, apprehensively eyeing the
package.
"Don't have to be afraid to open
it," the caller explained. "My wife
opened it today."
Cautiously the captain explored
and found a wooden box, a metal
disc on a shaft at one end and an
alarm clock inside. No dynamite.
The caller, Emil C. Hanson said,
his wife had found the box in their"
yard.
McLaskey has an alarm clock and
a puzzle?and his breath back again.
Goats Start Landslide
That Destroys a Village
BUCHAREST, RUMANIA. ? The
Bucharest press said tonight that
an entire village in the Carpathian
foothills had been destroyed by a
landslide blamed on goats.
The goats, it was said, killed trees
by nibbling the bark, the trees were
cut down, their roots decayed, and
loose earth, rock and shale slipped
under pressure of melting snow.
More than 200 acres of land en
gulfed the village, it was reported,
leaving 120 families and their live
stock without shelter. The reports
did not mention casualties. The
press denied foreign reports (pub
lished by the official DNB news
agency in Berlin) that the slide was
caused by an earthquake. (The DNB
report said 300 dwellings, a church
and a school were destroyed. The
same area was severely damaged
by the earthquakes of last Novem

USING WITNESSING POWER
LESSON TEXT?Act* 1:14; ?:MS.
GOLDEN TEXT?They were *11 filled with
the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of
God with boldness.?Acts 4:11.
In the right place at the right
time and in the right attitude?
these are unfailing conditions of
divine blessing.
Note also how fitting it was that
on that Sunday morning?evidently
in the upper room?the disciples
were "with one accord in one
place," ready for the great gift of
power and grace for life and minis
try which God had for them, and
through them for the world. One
wonders what might happen today
if Christian people would be in
God's, house on the Lord's day, in
complete accord and unity, expect
ant, looking for His blessing.
I. The Holy Spirit Poured Out
(2:1-4).
"We are not to imagine that at
this Pentecost He first came into
the world. In all ages He had been
imparting life and guidance and
strength and holiness to the people
of God; but He was now to work
with a new instrument, namely, the
truth concerning a crucified, risen,
ascended, divine Saviour. For the
proclamation of ~ this truth the
Church was the appointed agent. The
story of Pentecost, therefore, is the
first chapter in the history of the
Church as it witnesses for Christ,
and it embodies the impressive les
son that in all successful witnessing
the power is that of the Spirit and
the instrument is the message of the
gospel." j
The outpouring of the Spirit on the
day of Pentecost was accompanied
by signs of great power, and a spe
cial enduement which enabled all
the strangers in Jerusalem to hear
the gospel in their own tongue.
"This ability to speak in foreign lan
guages not previously learned was
merely a temporary endowment
granted for a special purpose. It
was one of those miraculous spiritu
al gifts which marked the age of
the apostles. In modern times the
claim to possess "this power has
never been established on credible
evidence, nor is the dominance of
the Spirit in the life of a believer
to be tested by the presence of any
special gift" (Charles R. Erdman).
U. Mighty Works Performed (4:
9).
Reference is made hero to the
healing of the lame man?a miracle
which resulted in the imprisonment
of Peter and John. It was a work
of power, but only the first of many
which the disciples were to perform.
An even greater work was that of
the Spirit-filled preaching of the
gospel which brought 3,000 souls into
foe church (2:41). As we marvel at
that event, we need also to keep be
fore us foe recurring day-by-day
miracle of foe regeneration of in
dividuals (2:47). This was, and is,
accomplished through foe teaching
of foe Word (2:42).
111. Tree Witness Presented (4:
8-12).
The rulers and leaders (especially
foe skeptical aristocrats of that day
?foe Sadducees) were angered by
foe proclamation of foe resurrection
of foe One they had crucified. They
also feared that their rich revenues
from foe temple might be cut off if
foe people were to follow Christ
(4:4), so they took foe disciples into
custody and brought them before
foe Sanhedrin.
Humanly speaking, one might
have expected these men to stand
in fear and awe before that august
body, and either become dumb with
terror or brazenly defiant. But such
is not foe operation of foe Holy Spirit
in a man. They spoke tactfully, but
boldly, of foe death and resurrection
of foe only One in whom there is
any salvation.
IV. Faithfel Though Persecuted
(4:13-20).
Not being able to make any real
charge against the disciples, the
, rulers let them go, but only after
threatening them and forbidding
them to speak any more of Christ.
They, like so many religious leaders
of today, were quite willing that the
disciples should preach, if they
: would only leave out the name of
| Christ.
Note the answer in verse It.
There is only one message (v. 12).
" 'Neither is there any other name
under heaven, that is given among
men, wherein we must be saved';
thus Peter asserts not only that the
miracle has been wrought in the
name of Jesus Christ, but that he
and his Judges can have eternal sal
vation in no other name. His words
are at once a rebuke, a challenge,
and an invitation. They need to be
reviewed and weighed today by cer
tain benevolent but superficial talk
ers who are asserting that Chris
tianity is only one among many
religions, and that It is only neces
sary for one to be sincere in his own
belief. Such teachers must recon
cile their statements with those et
Peter and John, who were 'filled
with the Holy Spirit' when they
declared that there is but one name
wherein we must be saved."
