Sixty years ago and more the Kansas skv was clouded with fllck- tiiiiK iilvei. The sun darkened. Chickens to roost. In an hour grasshoppers is the sands ol the sea descended upen this state and evwry green, living thing. Those who saw the shimmering rings ol the grasshoppers never will forget it.

They told their children: and their children's children still hear the story with "wonder, awe and praise." Wednesday's dust storm gives this generation something to tell to their children and their children's children, sixty years liom now in 1995. Merely as a spectacle it was awesome and magnificent. The golden haze that deepened Into a brown twilight, where artificial lights wets needed, an atmospheric phenomenon that the human eye had rarely seen. The luminous glow of it changed all perspective, wiped away a'l shadows, was curious and unearthly in its amazing distribution of light. To see traffic slow down on the streets and on the highways, to see animals begin to turn toward their nightly haunts, chickens to rooet, cattle to the barn, was something worth remembering for a lifetime Today we are cleaning up and grumbling about it.

The dust still is in the air, and a blue sun shines dimly, making no shadows, creating ft strange haze on every horizon. And after all it's man's work. When we plowed up the dirt Of the high plains.to grow wheat to win the war, we started something that will plague us for perhaps another decade and change the face of nature on the high western plains. In the meantime don't fuss and grumble too much about the inconvenience that has come with this queer visitation of dust. You'll forget about the trouble soon and always will remember the weird and eerie thing you saw in the days of the dust storm.

WINGS OVER EUROPE. German rearmament is a fact. It has been a fact since Hitler took power. The blunt announcement last week was not a new departure, only another milestone on the r-iad to ruin which Europe has been traveling for several years. Europe knows the horror which lies at the end of this road.

All wise and sane men see it, and, except for the handful of power drunk Jingos who control Germany, the rulers of Europe are wise and sane men. Presently, in a few weeks but certainly not less than a year, Germany will announce that she Is fortifying Uie left bank of the in defiance of treaties. Not even this will touch off the powder keg. But the fuse is sputtering, the hissing flame advances along the powder-dusted cord, notch by notch. Back in another age are Stresse- man and Briand and the old Ramsay MacDonald, and that far-off nnd forgotten day when Germany nnd Prance clasped hands over the green tables at Locarno, pledged friendship, promised to forget revenge as their respective peoples applauded, when the United States of Europe seemed not a hopeful possibility but an approaching fact.

It was not what they signed at Locarno that mattered, but how they felt. All this Is gone now. Each nation is paralyzed by tear. Kids In their teens are being hustled Into Ill-fitting uniforms and taught just where to poke with bayonet, how to twist, how to jerk it free from the warm clinging flesh, and the wings of big roaring bombers circle dark-'y over W. L.

W. DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. Listen to John Cowpcr Powys British author and lecturer, on the subject of our Middle West: "This is the real America, this us America of the future, this is the region of what may after all prove to be, in Spenglertan phrase, the cradle of the next great human 'culture. "In the first place, let me say at oure, it will realize the prophetic intimations of some of the greatest dlscerners of spirits. It will realize Rousseau's idea of what the syllables 'America' might come to mean for the human race.

It will have a mystical correspondence not easy to analyze, with the spirit of Soviet Russia; for although the Middle West is temperamentally as remote from the theory Communism as any land on earth, it holds so passionately to the great Rousseauish idea of what might be called 'the equality of all souls' that it evokes in the very heart of capitalistic America one of the most singular moral phenomena that it has ever been my luck to catch on the wing. The rich drawling accents of their speech even, remain, though my ear could never really catch the exact tone of those broad prairie sounds, full of a heart-to-heart insouciance, a nonchalant affability, which, like the sun-Ueked door-yards of those ramshackle dwellings, levels human consciousness to a certain homely acceptance of the common lot that gathers dignity from Its mere (simplicity, and Tolemnity from the mere presence of its vast- stretchlngbackground." Very well put and no doubt nil true, but it's just as well he got out of here ahead of the dust W. L. W. SECURITY.

Not suspecting an early adjournment of the Kansas legislature life insurance rating companies sent out frantic appeals to the prese. They feared that bills introduced in both houses, passed, might cramp their style on giving out confidential information on the condition of life insurance companies with Kansas home offices. One rating company expresses fear that present defenses against action for libel may broken down if an unfavorable ranking published on certain small companies that do not compara well with certain "averagee" of the life insurance business. The items on which rating; are made include amone other points the age of the company, insurance in force, types of investments, cash reserves, new business written and payments to policy holders. After the lists of statistical information a letter ranking is assigned ranging from through with pluses and minuses.

Practically all ag-snta of big companies with high letter ratings carry a company rating folder with their rate book. They revel In showing how their company stands in comparison with a competitor's Small and newly organized -hold the rating toldera are unfair in that they give old eastern life insurance companies which may control the rating companies a chance to monopolize the business. They point out that size and age are not additional guarantees of safety or ability to pay policy' obligations. One rating company does not give an or plus" grade to any Kansas company. Seven Kansas companies are ranked as "good" and nine are among the unmentionables.

In defense of its position the Alfred M. Best rating company claims that it does not use self-selected arbitrary that facts are given impartially fo- Interest. Undoubtedly among these 43 United States many weak companies operate on the strength of their own statements of, solvency while state Insurance departments shoula know the company is on borde- line of insolvency. Since the beginning of the depression 30 life insurance companies have failed with losses of $180.000.000 to pollcyhold- ers. Ratine scores are not feared by solvent fact they are for The insolvent company that can't stand the light of consumers' research should go.

IU acceptance of premiums should be made a felony. The government should concern itself with tlon, chartering and Inspection or life tarurance companies as with national banks before the selllnr end completely overbalances the fundamental purposes of life insurance. Until then the rays of rating company publicity may guard the policy holders' investment. For Instance, how many of the .10 companies which have failed had desirable rating before they folded up? And if a banker can be sent to jail for accepting people's money in trust when he knows his bans Is insolvent, why shouldn't the same strong medicine be made to apply to Insurance company presidents and of directors?

Averell Harriman, socialite, polo player an'd multimillionaire. By inheritance he is head of the Union Pacific railroad and a director in many corporations. Officially, Harriman has the title of 'executive officer and as such is normally subordinate to the NRA board by whom he was appointed. Actually he is the whole works. Few outside of the inner group of NRA executives know it, but Harriman has been presiding over NRA board meetings for some time.

With the retirement of Chairman S. Clay Williams his grip on the Blue Eagle doubled. Shy and ill-at-ease in public, Harriman assiduously courts the piivately, he would like to be summoned before the senate finance committee, whose members know nothing about him.

Congressional mail has its sorrows and occasionally its Joys. Recently Philadelphia's Representative Prank Dorsey received a letter from a constituent demanding that he vote against the World Court. At much pains, Dorsey replied that such matters were not subject to HOUEG action, but were dealt with solely by the senate. He included quotations from the constitution in his letter.

A few days later Dorsey received the following answer from the voter: "So tr.at's the kind of a man we elected? will of the Afraid people to express the because of a few cock-eyed rules.

Favorite ruse of District vice- squad is to assign new and youthful officers to these jobs.

Police admit they do not know how many joints are In operation In the capital.

They do know, however, that they have closed 150 since lest October. 8ECRET PLUMS. Though Jimmy Moffett's Housing Administration is equipped for high-powered publicity, his latest move is being kept carefully out of the headlines. It is a move to put 200 men into the field to work with Chamber of Commerce canvassers in a door-to- door sales campaign for home ren- ovizinu. Reason for the hush-hush Is that PHA wants no deluge ot job seekers for the new posts.

Their files already contain enough applications to fill the 200 jobs fifty times over. Instead, they want to parcel the new jobs out among Senators ns political plums. Most patronage having been exhausted, 200 plums at. MfiOO urtll be welcome on Capitol Hill. PRESS RELATIONS.

The chief complaint that Wall Street are making against Whitney is of an Involving nature. It Is contended that he has failed to build up "good press relations" for the fficchange. What we really mean Is that the brokerage business is dull and they believe it Is due to the lack ol the right kind of publicity. The public, brokers agree, could brought back into the market If the right kind of ballyhoo was conducted.

Representative Maury Maverick's zealous devotion to the principle of personal freedom nearly entangled him with the federal authorities during the World War. A first Lieutenant in a Texas regiment, Maverick, was assigned to defend two American-born Mexicans who had deserted irom the outfit.

Arguing in their behalf, Maverick made such a strong case against the constitutionality of the Draft Law that the Justice Department sent agents to Investigate him. Only the efforts of his uncle, who succeeded in having the more explosive of the nephew's arguments deleted from the official record, saved the latter from court martial. Maverick later went overseas, was severely wounded in action and decorated. i Copyright, dicate, Inc.) by United Feature- Syn- The quality of Gazette printing is apparent when you get the job The economy is apparent when you set the bill.
