MODERN DINOSAURS.
(Christian Science Monitor.)
“The World 1,000,000 Years Ago"
furnished one of the bizarre attrac
tions at the recent Chicago world's
fair. Extinct animals of the immea
surale past were isplayed there, blink
ing, raging, menacingly lashing. The
builder of the show had reconstruct
ed mastodons, pterodactyls, and other
prehistic beasts. Then within each he
installed as many as ten electric
motors to make them move and snot.
None of these canvas apparitions
gave the sightseer a start, but there
is serious danger when an extinct
monster does come to life.
For example, America would be a
great deal better off if the ancient
saber tooth tiger were to be revived
instead of the saloon. Today’s public
does not know much about the fer
ocity of either of these brutes. Many
people of the present day art* as in
nocent of the damage done by the
saloon as of the ravages of the ante
diluvian curiosities.
However, the Chicago Tribune once
gave the saloon a “character,” as it
was about to quit its old abode,
which serves admirably as a letter of
introduction on its wished-for return.
Said that eminently antiprohibition
ist newspaper:
If the veritable narrative of the
American saloon were ever written
it would make the decadence of Rome
look like an age of pristine purity
in comparison The liquor busi-
ness has been the faithful ally of
every vicious element in American
life; it ha protected criminals, it has
fostered the social evil, and it has
bribed politicians, juries, and legisla
tures.
The inherent corruption has extend
ed even to the so-called decent sa-1
loons. There are few that do not serve
adulterated products, and it is an
unusual proprietor that is not more
pleased when his patrons are getting
drunk than when they keep sober.
.... We have been speaking of the
“decent saloon”; the other variety is
almost unspeakable. The smallest
count in the indictment against the
evil barroom is its persistent evasion
of the law.
The Tribune knew the saloon, for
when it wrote in 1917, there were
6385 of them in Chicago. During its
later fight against prohibition the
Tribune scoffed at the possibility of
the aloon’s return. Now Chicago is
one of the first, cities to vote it
back, a curious new edition hut es
sentially the same old thing.
In reviving the past - whether un
der the name of tavern, inn, beer
parlor, or club—the distillers and
brewers will do a bigger and better
job than the showman who imagin
ed the world a million year ago. He
made a relatively tame set of furies.
Whenever anything went wrong with
any of them he had to send a repair
man into the interior of the reptile
to resuscitate it.
The whiskey and the beer makers
won’t have, any trouble like that.
Wfhen they pour their gin, whiskey,
and old-time beer into the saloon, it
will be born anew to its life of de
struction and jump into the making
of disasters as energetically as ever.
Unlike the artificial dinosaurs, the
saloon will not get out of repair, but
the people who visit it will. It will
lump out on the scrap heap young
and old who have been broken by it.
Lawmakers who would not like to
see sons, daughters, or friends fra
ternizing with a furious monster out
of the past should keep it in the past.
What society has once made extinct
must be kept a fossil.

New York, Jan. 2—The gift of
prophecy is one which brings' its Man

provided it is skillfully used —and ad
vertised. Society, in its upper levels
and the stage in all its levels, suc
cumbs to throng, the waiting room of
every new seer.
Princess Wahletka, a “full blood

charge you ten for the service. Miss

from the gold standard as well as
the attempt upon his life, is, on the
whole, gloomy about the coming year,
She tells me that the dollar will be
worth a good deal less before it an

She also tells me to warn my readers

The princess, on the other hand,
looks forward to a weird new disease,
which will sweep the east and cause,
a lot of wagging of medica lheads.
'But the scientists will rout it after

A READY WIT
Os course, to be a successful pro
phet, iou must be prepared for di
rect and unfair questions. You\must
be able to parry demands for infor
mation which the stars either won’t
give or about which they haven’t
made up their minds. For instance,
in one of the swanker cabarets re
cently I saw Miss Bart in action. ■
A young man, who had, perhaps,
had one or two cocktails before din
ner, leapt to his feet and demanded.
“Where in hell will J be on April 21,
1934?” i
That as you can readily see, is an
unfair question. particularly when
asked in; an upholstered cellar from
which the heavens are shut out, and
on a cloudy night, to boot. But Miss
Bart was not to be so easily taken
back. She mused:
“Where in hell will you be next
April 21? * Um-m-m. Why, you’ve
answered your own question!"
Mere laymen can’t cope with a wit
like that. It brought down the house.

What s What-at a Glancs
UMfWASH I NOTON L D*~| y
By CHARIaES F. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, Jan. 2.—Popular gov
ernment is on trial in this country to
an extent that it would have been
hard to believe possible four or five
years ago; to an extent that it is dif
ficult to realize even now.
And yet, as Congress reassembles,
one senses the peril which democ
* racy faces.
Between the lawmaking body that
gathered in special session last spring
at President Roosevelt’s summons,
and the same body, as it meets on the
threshold of 1934, there is a subtle
difference.
Congress today is not the vital part
of the set-up that it was.
iThe President, had to call it to
gether last spring, to ask of it a
grant of the power that he desired.
Congress granted it. Consequently, at
the present writing, the President can
do without Congress. He is not at
tempting to do without it. He prob
ably has no wish to do so. It would
be too crass a proceeding, anyway.
At least, it would be to crass and
abrupt for this country.
We Americans are in the habit of
considering ourselves a free people.
We would resent being told suddenly
that we are living under a dictator
ship. If ever we are to be. informed
of it, it can safely be done only grad
ually. In fact, the best plan would
be to let us' discover it by impercepti
ble degrees, sliding into it so unos
tentatiously as not to know it until
long after the transformation’s actual
accomplishment—by which time, of
course, we would be accustomed to
it, and raise no Stoller.
NOT LONG AGO—
As recently as President Hoover’s
day-indeed, as recently as me be
ginning of President Roosevelt’s term
—the administration was wholly de
pendent upon the national legislature.
Tn that era Federal government
would have bogged down almost im
mediately without the regular, coor
dinate functioning of its legislative
and executive mechanisms. The ju
dicial outfit, highly as it values it
self, could conceivably have been dis
pensed with for awhile, but the White
House certainly could not have kept
the executive wheels turning except
with Congress’ approval.
Nok, however, President Roosevelt
has a system established which he
could almost, if not quite, keep run
ning by proclamation.
others. The life-work will be along
hidden lines, but with some author
ity. The native is reserved and self
reliant, with sometimes al hard, grasp
ing nature, astute and selfish, but sub
ject to the softening influence of love.
Love of horses is a prominent trait.

Highway Patrol Really
Making License Arrests
(Continued from Page One.)
not bluffing. Hundreds of these motor
ists with old license tags who tho
ught they could “get by” with the
old tags, were stopped by highway
patrolmen and given tickets to ap
pear in court. Patrolmen working out
of the Raleigh office yesterday made
more than 200 arrests during the day
in spite of the bad weather, and were
out and after them again today. The
total number of arrests by the patrol
yesterday has not yet been fully tab
ulated. But from the reports so far
received, the patrolmen were out and
on the job.
Not a Pleasant Job.
“It is not a pleasant job to arrest
people for anything, but the law is
the law and it is our duty to enforce
it, so we are doing just that, regard
less of how many people may get
mad about it,” Captain Charles D.
Farmer said today. “These motorists
we are arresting have had 30 days in
which to get their new licenses so
they have no one but themselves to
blame when they are arrested. Ixits
of them are cussing both the highway
patrol and Governor Ehringhaus. But
we are merely doing what the legis
lature told us to do when .it passed
the law which makes it mandatory
to arrest those that do not have new
license plates at the beginning of the
new years.”
The fine for failure to have a new
license is $lO and the costs are $4.25,
making a total of $14.25 for which'
motorists are liable in addition to the
cost of the new license plates. The
penalty for failure to appear on a
citation is a fine of SBO for contempt
of court. Some of the judges are un
derstood to be letting a good many
off with only the costs of $4.25 if
they agree to purchase their new li
cense plates at. once.
Patrolmen are issuing tickets to
the motorists they arrest to appear
in court either at 12 o’clock noon or
6 p. m. each day for trial of their
cases. ” • IMHi

Central Press Staff Writer
New York, Jan. 2.—Europe has de
cided that President Roosevelt’s re
covery program has failed (Not that
it makes much difference what Eu
rope believes—but it is interesting).
London says, as duly reported in
the Nyv eYork Times’ financial col
umns: “Year-end reflections on the
American administration’s achieve
ments in the sphere of currency and
business are not altogether flatter
ing.”
Paris remarks: “It is held that the
industrial recovery is largely deter
mined by the huge sums the Ameri
can government is spending on pub
lic works, and the question is raised
as to how long such an artificial
stimulant can last.”
Berlin adds: “Year-end summaries
here of President Roosevelt’s econo
mic policy are either non-committal
or unfavorable. It is commented that
the policy lacks unity and contains
elements of planning without going to
the planner’s logical extreme of di
rectly controlling capital."
On the other hand, American busi
ness men who formerly were skep
tical now are becoming enthusiastic
—or determined to see the mattre
through.
It must not be forgotten that the
ruling financial powers of Europe are
Tory. They see in the rise of Roose
veltian economics their own doom.
They frankly say that England will
be their last bulwark.
IN AMERICA
Now, observe a few comments in
America on conditions and outlook.
“Consistently stronger banking
methods will sweep over the nation
on Jan. 1 when hundreds of local
schedules of rules of fair trade prac
tice for banks under the NRA go into
effect,” says Frank W. Simmons, sec
retary of the banking code committee
representing the American Bankers
Association.
Then we hear from Dun and Brad
street, credit firm: “The final week
of Christmas gift buying more than
exceeded, the highest totals which had
been placed for it Business in
all divisions appears to be reaching
favorably to the cmfwyp etaoi cmfw
favorably to the stimlus of the na
tional program of recovery.”
the 55 branch offices over the State
to get their new pi tes, according to
Director L. S. Ilf*’, is, of the motor
vehicle bureau of the State Depart
ment of Revenue. This rush to get
licenses he attributed to the uncom
promising manner in which the State
Highway Patrol has gone about its
business of arresting those who are
attempting to “get by” with their old
1933 license plates.
“Even up until yesterday many car
owners thought we were only fooling
when we had been saying for weeks
that the law would be enforced and
all those operating under 1933 licenses
after January 1 arrested,” Harris
said. “But they know now, after the
hundreds of arrests made over the
State yesterday and this morning,
that we were not and are not fooling.
As a result, they are coming into
the office here and the other offices
by the thousands to get their new
plates.”
Hope To Complete.
If the late buyers keep on getting
their new licenses as they have start
ed out, most of them will have been
sold by the end of the week, Harris
believes. With more than 250,000 al
ready sold, only 150,000 remain tp be
sold and. these can be issued by the
end of the week if the car owners
will only apply for them.
“Most of those who do not have
their new licenses yet have decided it
is the best policy to park thetr cars
and not try to use them until they
get their new license plates,” Harris
said. “And that is decidedly the best
policy if they want to avoid being
arrested and fined.”

tional Re-employment Service and
the State Department of Labor with
the assistance of the U. S. Department
of Labor, according to Commissioner
of Labor A. IL. Fletcher. Homer H.
B. Mack, who is in charge of the
farm placement work in North Caro
lina, where it is being tried out as
an experiment, has been out in the
field for about two weeks now, con
ferring with the managers of county
t eemployment offices and making
contacts with those interested in get
ting back on farms. He has also
been making as many contacts as
possible with farm owners and land
lords who might be interested in get
ting some of these families on their
farms.
“We have not yet had a definite re
port from Mr. Mask showing eithei’
the number of families and individu
als interested in getting farm employ
ment or of the number of landlords
he has made contacts with, since he
has not yet completed his prelimin
ary survey,” Commissioner Fletcher
said. “But from the word we have
had from him, we know that there is
a growing interest in this work and
that there are a great many who do
want to get back onto farms. We
are also getting hundreds of letters
here inquiring about the farm place
ment service from heads of families
now in cities and towns, who are an
xious to make use of this service and
make connections that will get them
back into farming again.”
Both Commissioner Fletcher and
Director C. M. Waynick, of the Na
tional Reemployment Service, are
convinced that this farm placement
work is going to fill a real need and
be instrumental in reducing the re
lief load in the State by returning
hundreds of families now unable to
get regular employment in cities and
towns to farms where they may be
come self-supporting. The managers
of all the reemployment office in the
state have been instructed by Direc
tor Waynick to cooperate with the
Department of Labor by setting up
separate files of all registered unem
ployed who have indicated a desire
to get back into farm work and also
to register any additional ones who
want to get back into agrciulture.
