HOLIDAY DEATHS
HOMES in America were sadden
ed by 428 violent deaths over
the Labor Day weekend. Highways
were thronged with cars,, pleasure
bent cs fair weather prevailed
rather generally and the lure of a
double holiday added to the urge I
to get out on the open road.
The Associated Press survey in
dicated that 302 of the 428 violent
deaths were from automobiles
which left 71 to die from all the
other accident causes that the evil
forces could think up to lay in the
paths of holiday folk. This grand
total, however, was less than half
the number expected by the nation
al safety council which based the
prediction on the total of other
years. Figuring statistics, the
council decided that there-might be
a round housand tragedies in the
United States. Their estimate set
the highway figure at 500; drown
ing might take 100 and other
causes would have a chance at 400
—but not so. The number was
smaller, to start with, and the high
way toil proved a real road hog.
Smaller than expected—but too
big a toli.
WATER EVERYWHERE
“II7ATER, water everywhere, and
ff and not a drop to drink”
was sa'd many years ago—possibly
when th-> man stood out in the mid
; die of the ocean on a rock. Today,
• acientiste have brought water
‘ down to fine point and water must
■ not only be pure and water must
. be wet and all that—but now, wa
ter most be wet-ter.
This wetter water miracle is
; chemistry’s latest discovery and is
said to answer the prayer of mill
ions for something to take the dust
out of the air line nothing else did.
’ Wetter water became a reality
wlflan several institutes of research
and chemical corporation made a
joint announcement yesterday.
'■ The news report—realising that
• the public no longer swallows any
1 thing that won’t bite—gave a brief
■ explanation for the layman.
• It’s no pun, but “wetter water
• is made that way with alcohol.
• There’s nothing intoxicating about
the stuff. The alcohol is . a new
“synthetic,” something that does
; not exist in nature. It is made
from waste gas f oil wells. The
new feature of this alcohol is the
giant size -of its molecules.
They have a most peculiar effect
; on ordinary water. A few drops
' of this “oil well hootch” added to
| a gallon of water actually makes it
1 "wetter.”
[ That is, the water wets whatever
> it touches almost instantly. Things
! like yarns that would take an in
‘ definite time, many minutes as a
! rule, to wet through in water, soak
• in few seconds in “wetter water.”
[ Most spectacular was adust lay
' ing experiment. In a work room
where the dust was hazy thiek and
1 breathing risky, an ordinary water
spray fell through the air without
' relief.

Washington
Cay Book
By PRESTON GROVER
Washington—Railroads in olden
days gave passes to state legisla
tors an 1 congressmen and paid the
cost of junkets to points of interest
until the thing becomes somewhat
a national scandal. Laws put an
end to that type of railroad good
will budding.
Hut now the colonies, Hawaii
and the Phillipines, have found a
rffew wrinkle of the old game. They
finance all-expense visits by mem
bers of congress, entertain them
lavishly and seek to induce in
them, a sympathetic understanding
of island problems.
That view of it may be a trifle
harsh on the islands. Weary mem
l>ers of congress and their wives,
sons and daughters may be entitled
to the relaxations the insular pos
session provide. What better -on
tribution could the island make,
in that case, than to provide a sea'
cruise to soothe senatorial souls?
Or the placid peace of an island
beach to heal congressional scars ?
Islands Foot Bill
Perhaps the islands have no sec
ond string motives. It is easily re
membered that the railroads insist
ed they had no motive other than
to oblige when they supplied rail
road passes to state legislators.
Two score or more members of
both houses made the tour of the
Philippines 18 months ago. headed
by Vic' President Garner. This
summer a dozen or more are going
to Hawaii. The Philippine govern
ment footed the bill on the first
trip, ano in keeping with this now
established custom, the Hawaiian
government will pay the way of
the visitors headed for the white
sands of W'aikiki.
At this point it is well to mention
items of interest about the islands
and their legislative problems.
When gold was revalued in 1934,
the Philippine government had
about $56,000,000 on deposit in
American banks as currency re
serve. The Philippines claimed the
*23,000,000 profit resulting from
revaluing gold, although by law
the family nest egg of the average
American was paid back only dol
lor for dollar.
Congress saw it the Philippine
way in 1934 and approved payment
but in 1935 refused to appropriate
money to pay. Senator Adams of
Colorado tried in 1936, the year of
the Philippine tour, to put through
an act repealing the Philippine
claim. The senate agreed with him,
although it was in conflict with ad
ministration wishes; but the bill
was never taken up in the house,
and the claim still stands. Adams
won senate approval again this last
session and the bill is still pending
in the house, awaiting action next
session. The islands also are inter
ested in sugar quotas and import
taxes.
Ideal for States
Hawaii has a specal interest in
sugar lesgislation, hoping that next
session congress will give the island
refiners a lift by permitting them
to ship to the United States a lar
ger quota of refined sugar.
These all-expense visits may
have little or no effect in obtaining
a friendly vote from congress. But
if they do, why shouldn’t Florida
finance an all-expense trip for
congress in an effort to get her
ship canal? Or Maine put ’em up
for two weeks at Bar Harbor in re
turn for Passamaquoddy power.
That is an entertaining prospect.
Committees Meet
Diseuss Tobacco
Raleigh, Sept 8.—County tobac
co committees of North Carolina
have been called to meet at State
College Wednesday to report on
growers' sentiment regarding crop
control legislation.
A summary of these reports will
be presented to Senator E. D.
Smith at a hearing to be held in
Winston-Salem, October 18, by a
sub-committee of the Senate agri
cultural committee.
The meeting was called by
Claude T. Hall, of Woodsdale,
chairman of the state tobacco
growers advisory committee, fol
lowing a meeting of the state com
mittee at State College.
Hall pointed out that the Senate
agricultural committee is making a
special effort to sound out the sen
timent of farmers regarding crop
control, and it is highly important
that the opinion of North Carolina
growers be brought out at the
hearing
The county committmen have
been asked to do aid they can to get
the sentiment of their local grow
ers before coming to Raleigh.
HaU announced that the €2 coun
ty committees would find Wednes
day a good day to meet, in view of
the mass meeting sponsored by the
Farm Bureau to he held at the
college the same day.
The committeemen will attend the
mass meeting, then assemble for a
•state-wide committee meeting at
noon, Hall stated.
Among the speakers at the Farm
Bureau meeting will be Senator
Robert Reynolds; Chester Gray,
Washington representative of the
Farm Bureau; Col. John W. Harrel

Candidate Trusted by Labor
Is G. O .P. Need, Says Lodge
BY SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE
Written ICxetaaively Ur This Paper and NEA Service, Inc.
THE Republicans are the opposi
tion. And as dissatisfaction
develops with the methods and
failures of the New Deal, the Re
publican party will be the only
place for dissatisfied voters to go.
To regain first the confidence of
the people and then control of the
government, the Republican party
must do several things.
It must develop a genuine and
realistic 20th century Republican
ism.
It must have a personnel at its
national conventions which will
include actual representation of
the rank and file of the people.
This country no longer votes
for parties. It votes for men—or
women. Plat
forms usually
are about the
same. The Re
publican plat
form last year
promised at
least as much
to labor, for in
stance, as did
the Democratic
platform.
And the Re
publican party
can get the vote
of the working
man, which it
conspicuously
failed to get in
the last election, if it puts up the
candidate v-ho will'convince labor
of his sincerity.

“MUSEUM,” by James L. Phelan;
(Motrow: $2.50).
Perhaps because it’s one of the
least elaborate in construction
James L. Phelan’s “Museum” ranks
rather high in the category of pri
son novels. Or perhaps this is be
cause it’s really not a novel at all,
but a prrt of Phelan’s own exper
ience.
The author is a cousin of Sean
O’Faolain, author of “A Nest ol
Simple Folk.” His correct name As
Seumat Ua Faolain, and early in
life he was working for Irish free
dom. He fought in the Ester re
bellion and eventually he shot a<
mail clerk in Lancashire. In the,
course of his “duty” as Irish agi-:
tator, he twice was sentenced to;
death, and actually spent 14 years
in two prisons—Dartmoor and
Parkhurst.
While in prison he wrote enor
mously The total (of which “Mu
seum” is presumably a part) is
nearly five million words. Part of
this output was poetry, part just
fact about prison. “Museum” itself
was smuggled out of jail, although
it seems that a certain amount at
least of Phelans writing was re
turned to him by the authorities.
The novel is nothing at all ne-.v,
and .t has a fault in American
eyes. This last is that once in a
while there is a stream of con
sciousness passage, in this case
more o£ e, triekla tfian a stream.
And this is in the most difficult
combination of British low class
slang and prison argot, almost un
translatable for any but an ex
pert. Some might also find it a
fault that Phelan’s attention is so
entirely concentrated on the prison;
one loses control of the system of
checks and balances one must ap
ply to prison problems to keep
one’s sense of proportion.
Otherwise •“Museum” is literal
and absorbing narrative of the ex
periences endured by a young lifer,
and the emotions created by the
experiences. The prison types are
perhaps a little hard and fast, and
Phelan's values a little foreign to
normal experience. The core of
the book is just, however, and the
writing is at least adequate. Read
ers will not again look blankly at
prison wall as the motor past.
Jean Giono was bom 42 years
ago in Manosque, in the French
department called Basses-Alpes.
He still lives there, although, ac
cording to his American publisher,
all Paris would like to get at him.
Giono’s first book is called “The
Song of the World" (Viking; $2.60)
It is a poetic fantasy, in purport
the story of the quest of two men,
one of the forest and one of the
river for the son of the former. The
quest takes them into sinister coun
try, and the man of the river finds
there the woman he can adore, she
is blind.
The strange thing about the book
is not its story, which has mo
ments of complete unreality, even
impossibility, but the tension of
the emotional content. Giono is
apparently not at all concerned
with fact, although he does lip
service to everyday fact through
out. He is playing upon his reader
like a Heifetz, pulling strange and
always lovely tone from his hu
man strings. It may be the fault
of the translators that occasionally
the tone is sour. Or perhaps of
the earthbound perceptions of his
reader. Who knows ?
If the rather dark quality of the
novel does not appeal, the sweet
sentiment,of "Life and Miss Ce
leste" (Bobbs-Merrill, $2) may,
This is the story of a staunch little
lady, her ineffective sister, and the
encroachments of time and pover
ty. It also is the story of the small
reward that at last came to Mias
Celeste and her sister. One could
not call the book important ,bufc
rfca, . .
T ABOR continues to be non
partisan. There is no doubt
that a larger Republican congres
sional contingent will be elected
in 1938 than in 1936 and it is
reasonable to suspect that some
of them will have labor support.
Personally, I don’t make routine
speeches damning the New Deal.
I have no quarrel with its larger
aims, but I do insist that Roose
velt and the Democratic Con
gresses have not achieved results.
The President in the recent
session of Congress placed all
his executive energy on at
tempts to enlarge the executive
power and spent praettcallr
none at all in improvwe the
condition of the people.
I have accepted the fact since
the last election that the adminis
tration aims are almost unani
mously accepted by the peo
ple. But let’s achieve them! And
let’s achieve them within the Con
stitution.
The strong tendency toward en
largement of executive powqg
still continues, although it has
been checked in certain of its ex
treme manifestations. The Repub
lican party is the only instrument
which can check it adequately.
NEXT: Representative Mawy
Maverick, dynamic Texas con
gressman, outlines a definite pro
gram for the future, a goal to
which all must work, regardless
of politics.
those of its readers who ever have
known a person like Miss Celeste
will see how beautifully Florence
Glass Palmer has drawn her in
this novel.
There also is Guy Pocock’s wry
amusing “Stubbs at Fifty” (Mac
millan; $2.50). This explains how
it was that a schoolmaster be
lieved to be “advanced” in his
ideas found himself in the midst
of a determinedly modern group in
London, and how the strained
ideas of the group might have done
great damage to Stubbs had not a
person named Mary showed up at
the right moment. The novel is
charming enough that its allegori
cal and other meanings may be
ignored.

Bad Times And Health
By lago Galdston, M. D.
The interesting thesis that bad
times favor good health, while
economic prosperity engenders ill
health has been advanced recently
by Dr. Emil Bogen, of Olive View,
Calif. At first blush this thesis ap
pears to challenge common sense.
On the other hand there is a mass
of facts which tends to support it.
It was noted, for example, that
during the first year or two of the
last great war the health of the
people of practically all the war
ring nations was generally im
proved.
Again, at the onset of the recent
economic depression in this coun
try many social and public health
workers feared that we would ex
perience a serious rise in illness
and a corresponding rise in our
mortality rates. On the contrary,
the health of the people remained
good and there was a continous
though gradual decline in our crude
mortality rate.
How then can we account for
this parodoxilal association of bad
economic conditions with good
health and vice versa? Dr. Bogen
offers a few ideas, such, for ex
ample, that during economic pros
perity we use more alcohol and in
dulge in more dissipation. The
increase in traffic, in personal con
tacts, with greater chances of in
fection, the nervous strain of boom
times, the greater physical and
mental exertions, he suggests, may
perhaps account for the rise in ill
ness and mortality.
Dr. Bogen, however, advances
as his major argument the belief
that people eat more in times of
depression and therefore are
healthier, while they eat less in
times of commercial prosperity
and therefore die of tuberculosis
and other diseases influenced by
undernutrition.
In substantiation of this argu
ment, he poiats out that diabetes,
traditionally associated with over
eating, decreases in periods of
prosperity and increases in times
of business depression. Again, he
draws from the World Almanac
the evidence that folks eat more
meat during periods of depression
than during prosperous years. He
ascribes this not to a sudden
change in people’s tastes but rather
to the fact that in times of so-call
ed prosperity the purchasing power
of the worker’s money is reduced
and that perforce the average per
son is compelled to subsist on
foods that have a lower nutritional
value.
Make a list of duties for the
young masculine members of the
family to follow in cleaning his
room. The business of checking
then off each day gives him a
sense of importance that encour
age diligence.

MANHATTAN
By GEORGE TUCKER
New York—Jt has been seven
years since the girl who became
the eternal Sadie Thompson of
"Rain” was carried to a rainsoaked
cemetery in Kansas City, and in
all that time no one has come for
ward to take her place
There have been other actresses
with golden-red hair and fiery
temper l merits wtio aspired '.o
.leanne Rages’ shoes—good ac
tresses who apparenty had all the
requisites of so glamorous a role
—yet lor some reason they never
quite succeeded. And Broadway is
still writing for just the right girl
and just t he right play to recapture
a fragment of the emotional bys
terna which threatened to blast the
town apart when Jeanne first in
troduced her throaty-voiced lan
guor to first, night audiences.
Saved Play For Jeanne
For awhile it was believed that
Francine Larrimore, a star in her
own right before Kagels died,
would inherit the “Rain” soaked
mantel of Jeanne. Indeed, Miss
Larrimore became Jeanne’s “ghost”
when she slipped into several roles
originally intended for the star. It
was in "Chicago” that Francine
first succeeded the tempestous
Jeanne, und later, in “Storm Song,”
she captured the glory which
would have been Jeanne’s had not
death stepped in and wrote an
abrupt finis to her career.
There is a chapter of interesting
theratrical history . to this play
which Sidney Buchman wrote es
pecially for eJanne. The heroine
was the wayward daughter of a
ship captain who teamed with
beach combers and roamed the
south seas in junkers and freight
ers, and it was thought no actress
but Eagles couldplay it success
fully. But just at that time her ex
plosive temperament led her once
more into difficulties and Equity
banned her from the theatre for a
year.
Rather than entrust the drama
to another actress, a produced paid
royalties on it for a year, holding
it against the day when she would
be permitted to act again.
It was a happy Jeanne who
plunged into rehearsals after h‘*r
exile, and then—like that—came
the stunning news that she was
dead.
New Season At Hand
Later Tallulah Bankhead, with
her husky throatiness and her wine
red hai-I, gave a remarkable per
formance of the much harrassed
Miss Thompson in a revival of
“Rain” but 10 years had left their
mark on the play—it was found to
be irretrievably dated—-and though
Broadway cheered Tallulah, it
could net forget the shadow of that
other girl who had thrilled New
York with one of the most exciting
first nights ever seen on Broadway.
Now comes the heraldry and
pageantry of a brand new season.
_The tom-toms are beating, and
perspiring producers, their horror
masks in place, ae shouting new
authors, new plays, new casts.
Will there be a new “Rain” or
a new Eagels among them? Broad
way doesn’t know. Broadway does
not disdain. But, Spinx-like, it is
watching and waiting.

Hollywood—Film factory: On
“Merrv-Go-Round of 1938” Irving
Cumrr.ings is directing Bert Lalw
and Louise Fazenda in a comedy
proposal scene, while Jimmy Savo
looks on from the sidelines. Savo,
getting a chance in pictures at last
after his first film —the one he’d
like to forget—is not working but
is watching and studying. He fig
ures he has a lot to learn about
pictures.
When Louise accepts Lahr’s
proposal, she accepts in a big way,
with an old-fashioned Theda Bara
ish embrace that throws both of
them off the divan to the floor.
And the loudest laughter bursts
from Irving Cummings.
Asked afterward if she couldn’t
control her early Mark Sennett
training in these "dramatic” scenes,
Louise laughs, gestures in Cum
mings’ direction.
“I can,” she says, “but the man
I work for can’t!”
Films Speeding Up
William Gargan, who plays the
fighter’s manager in "Blonde
Dynamite,” says pictures have
speeded up since this picture was
first filmed in 1931 as “The Iron
Man.”
Bill out of .curiosity saw the
earlies film which was popular
talkie of its day. The players—
among them Bob Armstrong, Lew
Ayres, and the late Jean Harlow
—all had to move slowly, a tech
nical handicap due to the camera
speed then prevalent.
What interested him more, how
ever, was the fact that all the
players looked and acted surly
throughout the Him. Those were
the days when the microphone was
new and movie actors were prac
tically afraid to drop a syllable for
fear some dedicate valve would oe
shattered Or it may have been the
depression carrying over from re
ality into the world of make-be
lieve. In this new version, Bill says,
they’ll have a lighter approach.
Noah Berry Jr. is the fighter,
Dorothea Kent has the Harlow
role, and Gargan has the part of
Armstrong played.

Frequent Rains
Damage All Crops
Raleigh, Sept. 8. — Frequent
showers and the cloudy weather
daring the past two weeks have
greatly damaged the North Caro
lina cotton crop, particularly in the
costal plain area.
P. H. Kime, of the central ex
periment station at State College,
reported today that seed has start
ed sprouting in many bolls, while
other bolls are “entirely rotten.”
He urged growers to get the
damaged cotton out of the field as
soon as possible. Sun it two or
three days, spread it out in the cot
ton house and stir it every day un
til thoroughly dry, he said.
Dry cotton will gin with less
damage, he explained. Then, too,
damp cotton stored in lArge piles
will generate enough heat to in
jure the fiber and seed.
Damp cotton should be allowed
to dry for two or three weeks be
fore ginning to get the best results,
Kime added. Even cotton that is
fairly dry at picking time should
be stored one to three weeks be
fore it ir ginned.
He pointed out also that one inch
or longer staple cotton should be
ginned more slowly and with '
looser reed roll than 7-8 ineh lint.
The cotton damage by wet wea
ther should not be left in the field
to be picket along with better cot
ton that will open later, as the
damaged cotton will lower the
grade of the later pickings.
Seed from the damaged cotton
should not be allowed to mix with
seed from better cotton picked la
ter, Kime went on, as seed from
the cotton that opened during the
recent rains is not suitable for
planting. ■'
