Lively Chatter

Washington— Notes from our na
tion's capital . . Hot news:
Senator William Edgar Borah ap
peared on the senate floor the oth
er day wearing a bright red necktie.
No one remembered any other time
when he wasn't wearing Ills little
black or blue bow.
Borah is a good dresser, but Mrs.
Borah has to see that he "keeps
pressed.”
Norris of Nebraska almost inva
riably wears a bow tie. He hasn't yet
borrowed Borah's red four-in-hand.
Did you hear the' one an Anti-Sa
loon league friend pulled on Gover
nor Alfalfa Bill Murray in intro
ducing him to an audience? "Alfal
fa BUI is so ugly that when he goes
away on a trip his wife always goes
with him so she won't have to kiss
him goodbye." . . And the
house passed a bill the other day to
remove certain restrictions on land
owned by two Crow Indians named
Spottedhorse. The name of one was
Benjamin Spottedhorse and the
other’s name was Horse Spotted
horse.
Wisecracks.
Washington is teeming with
mean, untrue anecdotes about a
very high personage who lives here
Latest A hitch-hiker was boasting
that he had hitch-hiked from coast;
to coast In U days. Asked how, he
said “I just wore a big sign on my
back, inscribed* "If you don’t give
me a lift 111 vote for-."
Business men continue alter
nately to berate the president and
congress and beg favors from both.
A story about Mayor Anton J. Cer
mak, who will welcome both poli
tical conventions to Chicago, may
be more or less apropos of some
thing or other. Many ol the clty”s
leading industrialists and merchants
gathered with him at a very private
banquet, worrying about local af
fairs—which were plenty to worry
about.
Someone made a crack about the
need of business men in politics.
Cermak said: "I know many of you
fellows voted for me as the lesser of
two evils. I know you're men who
control your corporations, but you
report to boards of directors.
"The city equnctl, elected by the
people to take care of them, is my
board of directors to which bud
get cutting and whatnot must be
submitted. Where would a business
man get without 30 years of politi
cal experience, forced to get SO men
from 50 ward? to agree? He'd try
to cut the payrolls in respective
wards and wouldn’t get to first base.
He would require three years to get
what It was all about to spend his
last year wondering how it all hap
pened and why everybody hated
him.”
-On the Hip.’’
Dr. William Gerry Morgan, farm
er president of the American Med
ical association, told the senate sub
committee holding hearing on wet
legislation that one evil result of
prohibition was that young women
were carrying liquor^ "on the hip.”
Presumably because the doctor's
work brings him In contact with so
many hips, no one questioned tht
assertion.
Dedine In Fire
Loses In State
In Ten Years
Lew Last Tear In N. C. Only 11.77
Per Person. Lowest In
1933.
(Star News Bureau.)
Raleigh, Feb. 28.—North Carolirn
had a fire loss last year of only
*1.77 per Inhabitant, as compared
with a loss of nearly twice as much.
*3.21 in 1922, or 10 years ago. and
as compared with more than twice
as much, *3.67 per person, in the
United States last year, according
to figures made public by State In
surance Commissioner Dan C
Boney.
While the state was headed for
an excellent 10-year record and
maintained a practically regular
decrease in fire loss for eight years,
the last two years have served to
hinder that record, showing an In
crease In loss of more than a mil
lion In 1930, over 1929, and nearly a
million dollars increase in 1931 over
1929, the report shows. The eight
year decrease was from more than
*8,000,000 a year to less than *f,
000,000, of which record the st&U
Insurance department was proud
The total fire loss for the elgl
years was *56.871,393. an annua
average of *5,667,193.
Loss from fires In 1930 jumped ti
*6,308,552. and *5,525.437 In 1931
from *4.992,412 In 1929 The lot

What Would George
Washington Think
About World Now?;
Gastonia Qazette.
A hundred and twenty million j
people, citizens of the most power
ful nation on earth, paused this
week to do honor to the memory
of a man who Is more of a legend
than a personality , . . more of a
principle than a man. George
Washington Is a symbol of truth
and honesty and Integrity. His
name stands for Intellectual supc
lority, military prowess, and poli
tical strategy.
We spend too much time build
ing up glorified legends about the
shades of our great, We pay too
little attention to the man Inside
Washington was Intensely human.
He liked to make the welkin ring
at old Mount Vernon with week
end beer orgies. He liked the ladles
and didn’t care who knew It. He
liked a good story If It was fairly
clean and told^ without profanity
He believed in dressing in tht:
height of fashion. He liked good
food and good wine.
Washington was a devout believ
er In personal as well as political
liberty. .He thought the constitu
tion of the United States would as
sure its subjects, so long at It
should stand, of true liberty In every
sense of the word.
How mistaken he was! How bit
terly disappointed he would be cou'.d
he be called from his mausoleum
to witness the tragic twists that
have all but destroyed that liberty
In which he believed so firmly!
What, we wonder, would the great
Washington think of a court sys
tem providing punishment only for
those unable to buy Innocence
What would he think of a Judiciary
that functions only against the
helpless negro and the insignifi
cant white man?
What, we wonder, would Wash
ington think of an America in
which people literally starvecT to
death in the very shadow of ware
houses bulging with the plenty of
the fields?
What would he think of an
America in which more than half
the people lived in virtual slavery
, . . an America where greedy hand-;
snatched bread from the mouths oi
babes and sucklings?
What would he think of Amer
ica's stinking politics ... of her
lackwlt scenes of morals . . of her
high and mighty snobbery ... of
her graft-ridden government . .
of her Inability to cope with the
leering gangter .... of her tabloid;
newspapers and her profane bur
lesque entertainment?
What would he think of the
brazen thievery of the federal farm
board? What would he think of
women congressmen and men hair
dressers? What would be think of
men like Albert Fall and Warren
Harding sitting in the seats of the
mighty?
Is there any question as to what
his attitude would be toward the
tragic America that would greet his
eyes could he be revived for a brief
moment to gaze upon the wreck of
the promising republic which he
moulded with his own hands more
than a hundred years ago?
He would grit his teeth to des
peration at the plight of his Amer
ica. He would weep bitter tears of
disappointment.
He would thank God that he had
not lived to see this utter degrada
tion of a principle that once seem
ed so promising . . . that he had
not survived to see the falr-halrei
child of democracy, guided safely
through its infancy by his able
hand, transformed into a sulking
ogre of ugly despotism.
And he would smile a bit wist
fully, we fancy, at the sight of a
hundred and twenty million people
planting Japanese cherry trees and
singing "America” on the occasion
of the 200th anniversary of his
birth.
Mules Introduced
By Geo. Washington
News and Observer.
“We have George Washington to
thank, for the mule—the introduc
tion of that animal was perhaps his
greatest livestock service to Amer
ica.” observed William A. Graham,
State Commissioner of Agriculture,
apropos of a not so well known fea
ture of Washington's activities.
"Pioneering In the southwest had
a great boom and Washington him
self Invested in land in Missouri.
He insisted that pioneering could
not be profitable with oxen— they
were too slow; nor with horses —
they were too sensitive to weather
conditions, food and care. He ob
served that mules were indifferent
to weather and were not particular
about their food and care.
“There were no mules in the
country, but Washington took care
o/ that by importing breeding stock
from Spain and Franco and a new
industry was born in America. To
day we are producing 9,000,000
mules annually,” said Commlssion
i er Graham.

Farmers Really
Have Someth ing
ToComplainOf
Pliers Of Farm Product* Below
1914 Level And Below Every
thing Else.
Washington.—Why doesn't the
farmer stop complaining? The fol
lowing quotations, taken from the
exhaustive monthly surveys of the
agricultural situation made by the
bureau of agricultural economics of
the department of agriculture, may
throw^ome light on the question.:
January, 1931—"Even among bad
years, 1930 stands unique. The five
per cent smaller crops of 1930 had
a December value of 38 pei cent
less than the previous year.”
February, 1931—“Th? annual in
ventory of livestock . . . reveals that
the total number of animal units
in the county Is about the same as
I year ago. but the total value of
the livestock dropped from $5,887,
184,000 to $4,368,447,000.”
March,^931—"Prices of farm pro
lucts, in general, are below the
1910-1914 level, and some products
which represent the very backbone
bf our agriculture almost go beg
jing for buyers.”
Wheat Surplus Jumps
April, 1931.—"Farm stocks of
wheat (for March) were estimated
»t 160,000,000 bushels, compared
with 130,000,000 a year ago and an
average of 125,000,000.”
May, 1931—"Not the least signi
ficant part of the picture is the
evidence of further decline in land
values last year. This seems to
have been quite general . . . Most
of the sales are by corporations and
others who acquired ownership as
a result of distressed conditions."
June, 1931—"Farmers sell at less
than pre-war prices, but still pav
about one-third more than the pre
war level for what they buy. Farm
prices are at 86 compared with pre
war while the prices of things
farmers buy are 131 compared with
pre-war."
July, 1931.—'"The abundant crop
of winter wheat, selling now at the
lowest prices in a generation, pre
sent* a striking example of the sit
uation faced by agricultural pro
ducers in these times ... Whole
sale beef prices were from 30 to 60
cents lower and poultry down about
a fourth.”
August, 1931—"Milk production
per cow has declined as a result of
the poor dairy pastures which have
been reported poorer than in any
year for 20 years.” «
September, 1931—“The general
prospect for farm markets and
prices is anything but reassuring
. . . . Oross income <for the 1930
31 season) shrank 22 per cent un
der the previous year, being $9,300,
000,000 as compared with $11,900
000,000.
Drought—And Low Prices
October, 1931.—'The ^entral fact
in the season now drawing to a
close is that prices of farm pro
ducts have suffered a further ser
ious slump . . . The far west and
northwest have suffered severely
from lack of rainfall and during
the past month much of the south
has had too much hot, dry weath
er." >
November, 1931.—“A turn in the
markets has provided a small but
helpful development . . . but has
not yet changed essentially what
is an extremely hard situation for
farmers. Prices of many,, loading
farm products are still be low cost
of production. Farmers everywhere
are hard pressed this fall.”
December, 1931.—“At the close Of
last year, with its drought and low
prices, farmers had the feeling that
depression had about done its
worst to them. But this year has
been worse. The general picture,
is reflected in these indexes: Whole
sale price level of all •cmmoditloes.
pre-war—or about 100, Industrial
wage level 200. farm taxes aver 250
farm wages 120, prices of thingr
bought by farmers 125, prices re
ceived by farmers for products 70."
More Price Drops
January, 1932—“The average
prices of farm products dropped
one-half fropi their already low
point reached two years ago. On
top of the drought and low incomes
of 1930. the past year came like a
capsheaf crowning a decade of ag
ricultural depression.”
February, 1932.—"The total value
of livestock (despite Increase t”
numbers) dropped from $4,450,000 -
000 a year ago to $3,196 000.000."
Proxy Wedding Is
Held In Washington
Washington, D. C.—If you can’t
be present at your wedding, Just
get a proxy to sene for you.
That’s what Lieutenant Oscar J.
Rum bo, a 26-year-old Argentine
naval officer, did.
While in far-away Argentina, he
was married here last night to Miss
Dorothy Bayliss, 24-year-old Wash
ingtonian.
After investigating the legality of
a proxy marriage, he commissioned
John H, Debaus, of Lyon'Park. Va,
a personal friend, to represent him.
Mrs. Rum bo expects to sail for
Buenos Aires Friday and they will
be remarried.
The ceremony was performed
here to facilitate her entrance Into
Argentina under immigration laws.

G. Washington Day
At Boiling Springs
Marked by Reception

C'olonlpl Period In Dress And
Program.
(Special to The Star.)
Boiling Springs, Feb. 25.—The
George Washington bicentennial
celebration was very appropriated
initiated at Bolling Springs Junto
college on last Saturday evening
February 2Q, when the high school
Junior-senior reception was held in
the college reception hall.
The guests were greeted at the
door by Miss Eunice Kneece, spor -
sor of the class, and the officers of
the Junior class. Immediately each
one felt that he had been suddenly
transported back to the historic
days of Oeorge and Martha Wash
ington. The colors, red -and white
had been so combined in the deco
rations as to make an artistic set
ting for the occasion. After they
were presented with tallies repres
enting miniature hatchets with r,n
attractive painting of the tradi
tional cherries, the guests were con
ducted to tables where progressive
seniors was played. Interspersing
the progressions of the game a pro
gram consisting of several George
Washington numbers was given.
Sarah Hamrick, Scott Melton,
Katharine Hamrick, D. W. Moore,
Kathleen Hamrick and Leander
Hopper danced a colonial minuei.
Dressed in quaint costumes of 17fP
they lent a touch of grace and
charm to the entire evening. Miss
Mary Tedder, accompanied at the
piano by Miss Myrtle Greene, sang
two solas which were quite fitting.
Concluding the program a playlet
"George Washington’s First De
feat,” was given by Dorothy Lath

Callahan. • 1

Democrats Cut
22 Million Oat
Of Supply Bill
Force Economy in Government.
Want 39 Political Jobs
Abolished.
Washington, Feb. 25—The house
democratic economy campaign* to
day threatened political patronage
as it brought a $22,000,000 slash in
one supply bill.
In reporting the reduced $1,069.
898,563 treasury-postoffice appro
priation bill, the house committee
recommended^) political Jobs in the
customs bureau now tilled by re
publicans and four western treas
ury assay offices be abolished,
F. X. A. Eble, customs commis
sioner, disclosed to the committee
during its hearings on the bill that
abolition of “surveyors” at seaports
had been recommended as far back
as President Taft's administration.
Abolition of the customs positions
which consist of 15 appraisers, seven
comptrollers and seven surveyors
will result In a net saving of $153,800
in salaries. Their duties will be tak
en over by men already on the gov
ernment payroll. Most of the posi
tions paid $5,000 or over, the com
ptroller and surveyor in New York
city each receiving $9,000 New York
alone of all the ports is allowed to
retain an appraiser.
From one to three of these .posi
tions are abolished in each of the
following ports: New York, Phtla
delpha, Boston. San Fianciseo, New
Oi’eans, Baltimore, Chicago, Buffa
lo, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St
Louis Portland, Me., Portland, Ore.,
and Pittsburgh. -
The four assay offices to be
abolished are at Boise, Idaho, Salt
Lake City, Helena, Mont., and Car-*
son, Nev. Salaries and expenses sav
ed will be $24,390. *
These items constituted a mere
fraction of the $22,677,342 which the
committee cut off the budget bu
reasu’s estimates. They are however
regarded as especially significant
because thefr removal may have an
Important effect on local political
organizations, built up to some ex

True Bills For;
Judge And His

Judge And Daughter Will Be Tried
Jointly Followin',; Their Indict
ment In Wake.
Raleigh, Feb. 20.—Wake county's
grand jury Wednesday found true
bill's against Mlis Lola <3. Harwood,
late employe of the state, who Is
charged with the embezzlement of
(4,823 of the state's money, and
against her father, Judge John H.
Harwood, who is charged with
changing, substituting and erasing
records that would have been used
as evidence against his daughter.
The indictments were brought
and the bills prepared after ex
tensive hearings in the attorney
general's office in which state de
partment clerks were examined by
Attorney General Brummltt and
his assistant, A. A. F. Seawell. The
jury after looking over the volum
inous document on which the state
Will proceed, returned a true bill.
The two will be tried jointly.
Solicitor J. C. Little is nof certain
when he can reach the case. It is
not probable that it can be tried
earlier than April as there • are
numerous jailj, cases ahead of this
one and these defendants are out
on bonds.
Japs Not As Great
Fighters As Thought
Charlotte News.
H. L. Mencklen, writing not so
long ago in The Baltimore Evening
Sun, traced the martial history of
the Japanese in an effort to dis
prove the popular belief that they
were the "greatest little soldiers in
the world."
He sought to show, and perhaus
did, that the early termination of
the Sino-Japanese war in 1894 and
the quick work Japan made of
Russia both were due to the infer
ior quality of the opposition with
which Japan was met. In the
World war. too, Japan's record does
liot strike one as that of a people
hot for blood and possessed of
reckless Inspiration on the field of
battle. Beyond losing a couple of
capital ships the extent of Japan
ese participation is perhaps best,
indicated by her losses in manpow
er, which were about 300 killed and
less than a thousand wounded and
missing out of a total mobilized
force of 800.000. Apparently the
greatest Japanese engagement in
that war was fought out In can
tonments.
The current disagreement in
Shanghai would seem to bear out
Mr. Mencklen’s hypothesis. The
Chinese rightly or wrongly are con
sidered notoriously poor fighters,
private or public. They are poorly
equipped, with scarcely the sem
blance of organization and train
ing. Yet three times has Japar.
tried to push through the Chinese
lines, admittedly superior in num
ber, and three times has she with
drawn to cable to Tokyo for more
men. And as for that poor old bat
tered relic of a fort, Woosung, 1*
reminds us of our own Mint here
In Charlotte: it continues to stand
despite every bombardment that la
