Bailey in the Lmted States Senate, Walter Lambeth in the House of Representatives. The Pilot is a non-political newspaper, but it reserves the I’ight at all times to speak out for those candidates for public office who have been tried and proven in the positions of ti ust to which they have been delegat ed by the electorate. The Pilot knows the esteem in which Bail ey and Lambeth are held in the halls of Congress. They are not the run-of-the-mill type of rep resentatives, but constructive, conservative, thoughtful states men. They are the kind of whom one so often hears remarked •• “Whv can’t we get more men of that calibre to run for public of fice?” In Congress power of accom plishment depends upon two things, a man’s ability ,and sen iority. Granted the ability of our senior Senator and our repre sentative from the eighth Con gressional district, the question of seniority rests with the vot ers. Let us not militate against our own interests and the inter ests of the country by failure to continue in office men Who are on the road to positions at the top. Not at a time like this, es pecially. SAVE GASOLINE, IF NOT LIVES How^ many motor car owners understand that high speed in creases the consumption of gas ? The following figures, prepared by the Bureau of Standards at Washington, show how: At 10 miles per hour the aver age car travels 18.8 miles per gallon of gasoline. At 20 miles per hour the av erage car travels 18.9 miles per gallon of gasoline. At 30 miles per hour the aver age car travels 18.0 miles per gallon of gasoline. At 40 miles per hour the aver age car travels 16.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. At 50 miles per hour the av erage car travels 14.6 miles per gallon of gasoline. At 60 miles per hour the aver age car travels 12.6 miles per gallon of gasoline. At 70 miles per hour the aver age car travels 10.6 miles per gallon of gasoline. At 80 miles per hour the aver age car travels 8.6 miles per gal lon of gasoline. Some of our reckless drivers may care to save money even if they are not interested in saving human life. THE PARADOX OF AMERICAN RECOVERY The great paradox of Ameri can recovery is the rise of relief expenditures in the face of con sistent improvement in the eco nomic situation, says the editor of the New York Times. He points out that latest Gov ernment figures show the fol lowing economic developments over a two-year period: Industrial production up 26% Construction contracts up 24% Factory employment up 14% Factory payrolls _.up 33% National bank deposits up 41% Yet despite these gains, The Times editor points out, esti mated expenditures of F E R A, CWA, CCC and WPA for the first nine months of the current fiscal year have increased ap proximately 40 per cent over the same period two years ago. The paradox is that, as the country has moved upward out of the depression, the steady im provement in industry and busi ness has not been reflected in re- CARO-GRAPHICS by Murray Jones, Jr. t DO YOU KNOW VKHJft 5TAir ?

The only person up and about was the Rev. J. Fred Stimson, pastor ot the Baptist Church, who resides there. He greeted them at the dotr, showed them rooms in the annex. “All right, we’ll take these, boy,” said the man of the party. “Get the bags out of the car and bring them in here. The big black bag goes in this room, the tan suitcase and the hat box in the other one.” The preacher obediently dashed oft, tugged the heavy luggage to the rooms, was censured for getting tlie hat box in the wrong one. When the visitors were settled the man handed Mr. Stimson a dollar bill. "No thanks,” he said. “I am not really an employe here. I live here and happened to be awake when you arrived. The man apologized, asked what Mr. Stimson’s business was. He toki them, invited them to his church the next morning. "They came, too,” he says. “And out of curiosity I watched when the plate was passed. They put in a ! dime.” Charleston has held its third annual I Azalea Festival during which many ! thousands visiton t-.njoyed the splen dors of the century-old gardens.

Indeed, the amazing fact is that relief expenditures have mounted. The Times editor might have added that in the face of im proved economic conditions Aniencan Federation of Labor stastistics show that there are today 12,000,000 unemployed, and Harry Hopkins himself says there are 20,000,000 people on relief rolls. The theory at Washin^on was that as economic conditions im proved the welfare load would decrease. Paradoxicallj-, it has increas ed.
