C. aa aecoad Why wouldn't it be a good idea for the town and County Co-operate and make a parking place of the va cant County property back of the jail and to the east of Fullers stables. This could be done at little cost to anyone, as the labor for cleaning up and marking off the ground could no doubt, be secured from the relief rolls, and the only other costs would be that of an officer to keep watch on days when parking was sufficient. It wonld not only be a great convenience in parking, but would be of great value to health and appearances from a sanitary point. SECURITY FOR AI? In signing the Social Security Act President Roose-. velt said that the measure will provide "at least some measure of protection to 30 million American citizens." We can think of no more worthy purpose than that of this new law. It is intended to provide three principal means of security for the needy aged and the industrial worker. -A First come pensions for those over 65 years, who may be in want. The Federal Government is to contri bute up to $15 a month for this purpose, matching dollar for dollar with the States. This becomes effective as soon as the States get their own systems into operation. .The majority of States already have old-age pension 8ystems, most of which will fit into this plan, insuring the needy aged of at least $30 a month. For elderly workers the new law sets up a system of deferred annuities, to be paid out of payroll taxes fall ing equally on employer and employee. Taxes begiH in 1937, the first payment of benefits under the law in 1942. These retirement annuities will range from $10 to $85 a month, depending on average wages and length of employment. The third major feature of the Social Security Act is unemployment insurance. The taxes to provide for this are levied solely on employers, and the operation of the system is left to the States. Taxes will be collected be ginning in 1936, unemployment benefits as soon there after as the States set up their systems. We do not know ? nobody knows ? whether this scheme will work out exactly as planned. We feel cer tain,, however, that the new law sets up a principle and a policy which, although new in its national aspect, seems to be called for in this modern industrial age. Doubtless in practice many changes in the details of the system will be found necessary. Doubtless, too, there will arise a great demand for the extension of its benefits to classes not now included. But We do not believe that the prima principle of the measure, removal of the fear of depend ent old age and of losing one's job and income in times of depression, will ever be lightly abandoned. TWO GREAT AMERICANS Of very few human beings has it ever been possible to say truthfully that the whole world felt a sense of personal loss when they passed on. That, however, seems to us tq be true in regard to the tragic death of Will Rogers. In only a slightly lesser degree it is also true of his companion who met death with him, Wiley Post. Both men had won world-wide acclaim for their accom plishments in their respective fields, but Will Rogers had won more than that. He had, to a degree seldom achieved by men in their lifetimes, the warm-hearted affection of a public which can only be counted in mil lions. Both of the men who perished when their airplane crashed on the northern edge of Alaska were typical Americans. Wiley Post's feat of circling the earth twice by plane, bnce flying around the globe alone, will stand for all time as the greatest feat of this one-eyed Okla homa oil-driller who turned out to be one of the-real wizards of aviation. And Will Rogers ? what can be said of the Oklahoma cowboy whose genial homespun wit and shrewd observations on men and affairs made him the friend of kings and ambassadors and the al ways-welcome guest of presidents! Add to that his universal popularity as one of the real stars of the screen, 1 whose simple humor and "folksy" ways were a delight to everybody, and his amazing success as a journalistic and radio commentator on public affairs, and you have a combination of talentB for which we find no parallel in modern times. Will Rogers was proud of his strain of Indian blp?d, mingled wjth those of the Scottish, Irish and English pioneer stock. H?f wg| ^real American, whose bo?j$fc,it frequently was that though his ancestors did hot aojbe over on the ' 4 Mayflower," some of tnem ''met the hoht." The World is dtettBtetiy the poo*w-hy-the loss-of ttocde two great examples of the American character and the American spirit of adxeniBre. ( ^ ; _ . .. A SENSIBLE RULING A "slum-clearance" project is under way in New York City. With the aid of Federal funds, a block of model apartments is being built. It is one of the "work relief" projects that comeis under the jurisdiction of the Works Progress Administration. The workers are men who were formerly 011 direct relief. The maximum pay for skilled labor under W. P. A. is $93.50 a month, for 120 hours work a month. That figures out at 77 3-4 cents an hour. The building trades unions in New York City have a minimum scale of $1.75 an hour. They threatened to call all union workers off the job, if they were not paid the full union scale. "Very well," said the relief ad ministrator in New York, "go ahead and strike, if you want to, but if you do, you can't ever go back on relief." The man who said that was General Hugh Johnson, who was the head of N. R. A. and. is now New York's relief administrator. General Johnson is a vigorous personal ity, and no bluffer. In one of the most convincing speeches he ever made he told the unions, and the whole world, over the radio, that a guarantee of six months work at $93.50 a mouth figured out more than the aver age income of building trades workers, even at their high hourly rates, and in flush times. Washington backed up General Johnson' declaration that the man who goes 011 strike on a works-relief pro ject forfeits his right to go back on straight relief. That it seems to us, is precisely as it should be. One of the most important tasks the Federal Government has to do is to impress upon those who have been cared for urtder the generous dole of the relief administration that they cannot go 011 forever living at public expense. If they refuse work that they are able to do, or quit work voluntarily with the idea of getting back 011 relief, they should find a powerful public sentiment lined up against their efforts to get local or state relief agencies to sup port them, after the Federal Government has given them chance to earn a living by honest work, and they have thrown that chance away. In an effort to appear casual, some people uninten tially put a terrible strain on their host by refusing to reveal the purpose of their visit until the last second of the meeting. . " Opportunity for distinction lies in doing ordinary things well and not in erratically striving to perform grandstand plays. An Expression of appreciation is more satisfying than a sack of gold, if you already have a sack of gold. At sixteen, I doubt if a million dollars in trusteeship would please a boy as much as an automobile all his own. Everyone, of us is said to be a model, held in awe by someoneelse, low and humble as we may be. _ Every outstanding success is built oii^the ability to do better than good enough. The weary, disillusioned, and restless try to buy happiness in bulk. croR MOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M D-sT DRUG-ADDICTS America it a nation of drug-addiction. I do not mean opium or narcotic addiction. But I do mean that wa are habitual drug uaera just the tame. For instance, alcohol. I believe we have a hundred alcohol ad dicta to one opium user. From the old grandma who sips her daily tonic containing alcohol, to the inebriate who takes -his daily libations of "white mule ' ? all' Americans use alcohol to some degree and its subtle effect on the human system often leads to addiiction. I suppose there are not figures enough to number our tobacco ussra, all the most profound addicts. Tobacco contains a powerful drug, nicotine, which steals into the human system producing the most intense desire. It is appalling that ao many children, young boys and girls, are becoming tobacco users. I have not room here to say more of that. And you who lingered long over your cups, you tea and coffee fiends. You are drug-addicts, every one of you. There ia a record of a lady and her grown daughter who together consumed 42 cups of strong tea dally. Both were nervous wrecks. I myself knew a laborer who boasted of drinking seven cups of coffee at each meal. So far as I know ha kept it up and lived to old age. AH these people were unmistakable arug-addict*. They were distintinctly witnin the danger-ione. Let me say this of alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee. All of them, if used within' the strict limit of temperance, are distinct benefactors rA the human race. It is only EXCESS that kills Bear this in mind always. The WOMAN'S ANGLE * SS7 While you rtiajr use rouge with a | bluish-red cait in mid-winter with irour furs, once your skin has been Wer so lightly tanned, you'll find kne of those subtle and warm yel w-orange or red-orange tints are ost attractive. And powder, too, Ihould be darker for summer use, Is you've probably discovered. Rarebit: ihred a pound -if Amer ican cheese, melt a tablespoon of butter, stir in 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons dry mustard, 1 teaspoon paprika, add the cheese and atir brer a low fire until melted.

From the ages of twelve, fourteen and sixteen, eT?ry girl should be en couraged, not only in cleanliness of complexion, but in th? little niceties of careful grooming ? the finger nail*, proper care of the lips, so they won t chap, and more than a past ing look at the hair.
