He suggests that Jefferson City resume the plan of the pioneers in naming the streets east of Washington for the presidents and west for the governors. He would change Marshall to Van Buren, Lafayette to Harrison, Cherry to Tyler, Chestnut to Polk, Ash to Taylor, Locust to Fillmore, Benton to Pierce and so on. West he would change Broadway to McNair, Mulberry to Bates, Walnut to Williams, Harrison to Miller, Bolivar to Dunklin, Clay to Boggs.

No doubt that plan is admirable for a Capital City. It would serve to refresh visitors on their history, state and national. It would create a uniformity and a continuity helpful to the general public. It is a matter that should have been arranged fifty years ago, Afc present, splendid as the plan is, it would lead to difficulties. Streets named after governors have been scattered all over the city east, west and south.

It would of necessity be the rennaming of streets all over the city. However, the plan might be given some consideration. It has many advantages as well as disadvantages. The Soft Answer Gov. Roosevelt's peech at St.

Paul is generally regarded as in the nature of "the soft answer that turneth away wrath." But it seems to have been even more than that. A New York newspaper created something of a sensation when it publishes in parallel columns extracts from the speech delivered by Gov. Al Smith in Washington and from the address by Gov. Roosevelt in St. Paul a few days later.

Here are the quotations: Smith: "The consequences of the Hawley-Smoot bill have been tremendous both directly and indirectly. Directly--American foreign trade has been steadily dwindling. Indirectly--the high schedules of the Hawley-Smoot bill caused European nations to raise their own tariff walls not only against us but against each other," Roosevelt: "The nonsequences of the Hawley- Smoot bill have been tremendous, both drectly ana ndrdectly. Drectly, Amercan foreign trade has been steadily dwindling. Indirectly, the high of the Hawley-Smoot bill caused European nations to raise their own tariff walls and these walls were raised not only against us, but against each other." If "imitation is the sheerest flattery" then the present Governor of New York certainly has paid the former Governor of New York a great compliment.

Taxing Beer It is probable that during the coming year we are going to hear a whole lot more about the proposal to legalize the sale of real beer and collect a federal tax on it, both as a means of knocking the props out from under the racketeering beer barons and as a means of refilling an empty federal treasury. That being the case, it might be enlightening to look at a few figures on the matter. In normaJ pre-war year--Americans consumed a little more than 66,000,000 barrels of beer, on which customs and excise taxes were levied at the rate of about a dollar a barrel. By 1919, however, the tax on beer stood at $6 a barrel, and the public accepted it as a not too exorbitant rate. Now-get out your pencil.

Suppose legalized beer were sold in this country this year to the extent of 1914 consumption, and suppose it were taxed at $6 a barrel, what would Uncle Sam get? Just $396,000,000. Then figure what it would mean in additional county and city taxes. Seven thousand men are employed on the Missouri River preparing the Big Muddy for the formal opening of navigation June 21 The event is epochal in every river town. It means the resumption of navigation and will add to the advantages of river towns. It has been a long difficult battle which is only partly won.

The antipathy of powerful forces has not been overcome but great headway has been made and the day of navigable streams all over the nation is not far distant. The placing of traffic signals on Mccarty street (Highway 50) should not be delayed. Traffic hazards are greater than on High street and the need of some traffic regulation is becoming more the summer brings increased traffic. aabit of parking automobiles on both sides oi narrow alleys also creates a hazard which the traffic department should immediately relieve. There is no room for parking in the How Fate Works Accident can be freakish, sometimes.

An Ohio widow is suing an insurance company for $5,000 worth of accident insurance, and In her claim she describes what surely must be one of the oldest accidents ever recorded. Her husband was playing golf. Having driven off from the first tee, he started strolling down the fairway, swinging his club ax any golfer might. Somehow the shaft of the club got entangled in his legs and tripped him. He fell, struck his head on the end of the club, and died a short time later.

Sometimes it almost seems as IE there were a cruelly impish fate that devoted all its time to devising improbable ways to end men's lives. And that reminds us of the many inhibitions the "don't do this and don't do that," because someone was once upon a time killed doing that very same thing. There is no sense in taking unusual chances and neither is is there any sense in spending one's entire time being careful of this that and the other thing and cheating ourselves of pleasure and recreation. A white wave of spirea greeted motorists on yesterday's beautiful May day afternoon. The highways between Jefferson City and the Osage River bridge are alive with it.

The fresh green leaves of early spring also form a background of beauty for the dogwood now in bloom. Fertile valleys and nigged picturesque bluffs and hilltops of Central Missouri create a picture unrivaled anywhere in America. We often wonder why folks fortunate enough to live in this section travel east and west in search of scenery. We have it at our doors but so many of us have not the ability to appraise it in its true value. Business reports from various keypoints throughout the country showed no retrogression during the past week.

While there is no decided upward trend there has been a manifestation of stability over a period of several weeks that augurs well for a steady revival in the very near future. Leading automobile manufacturers have heavy schedules while other lines are preparing for the inevitable surge. There has been no decided building boom but a slow, steady revival is in early prospect. Business is looking up everywhere. Defying the edict of a Godless government Russians flocked to their churches last week to worship.

Church bells did not ring. The Soviet government had either confiscated or silenced them. But it could not silence the prayers. Its refusal to recognize God, to permit its people to seek spiritual solace is sowing the seed of destruction for sovietism. The trouble with Germany and France foreign correspondent writes, 'is the mutual distrust between the two.

isn't that what's wrong with all the countries and with capital and labor and business and consumers? April, the weather expert tells us, was nearly normal, which is not saying a great deal for the weather, what with frosts, discouraging young potatoes and garden truck generally. Bvanston, 111, protests because its policemen are being called cops, bulls and flat-feet. There is a crying need for a protest against what the traffic cops calls the erring motorists.

Governor Roosevelt today remains the favorite candidate of the betting gentry with odds of 6 to 5 on his nomination quoted by a downtown betting commissioner. The same odds are being offered, however, on the reelection of President Hoover and there is money at 2 to 1 that the next President will not be a Democrat, This betting house reports that an Albany politician is offering $1,800 against $1,500 that Governor Roosevelt Trill head the Democratic ticket. Second choice in the betting odds falls to Speaker John N.

Garner, with odds of 4u to 1 being offered against his nomination. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland is another long shot, with odds of 6 to I quoted against him. The chances of Newton D. Baker to win the nomination are set at 1 to Y.

Evening Post. NO EPIDEMIC THIS YEAR Where are the soft, langurous airs? We are well along into the spring, and the soft, languorous airs ought to be all about us. By this time we should be sitting in hazy sunlight by our open windows dreaming of brooks. It is spring fever time, but the spring is not feverish. From the beginning of March till now no worker has rightly had any spring fever excuse lor dreaming or loafing.

There have been no dreamy days. Instead, there have been days for days for excellence of whatever routine one may be tied to, and days for good digging in yards and gardens and for cleaning up. Days, indeed, to inspire rather ambitious undertakings. In brief, this has been a good spring for doing things. But do not wait too long.

The days may change, and spring fever may appear in an epidemic and virulent form. If ever procrastination is fatal it Ss in the days between winters going and summer's Plain Dealer. We cannot restore economic stability in the nation by continuing to siphon so large a part of private effort into the coffers of the government- President Herbert Hoover. IIOOTTOE5BH Garner Also Will Be In the Race In California That May Decide Roosevelt's Fortunes In Campaign. SAN FRANCISCO, May 2-- AP; Democrats, the sta'te's presidential primary tomorrow is vita! or the Republicans it will be only i vote of confidence in its unopposed candidate--President Hoover.

The Democrats, holding a record registration strength of 847,482, will decide to whom will go California's 44 votes at the party's national convention. Delegation tickets, to appear on the ballots, are pledged to: John Nance Garner, rugged Texan who wields the speaker's gavel the National House of Represen- Franklin D. Roosevelt, governor of New York. Alfred E. Smith, the party's 1928 standard bearer.

Leaders of the three factions eon- iinned to stress the possible national significance of the election and each victory. A. H. McPike, northern California chairman of the Garner-for-President movement, declared victory for Texan would establish him as "national leader of a united democracy." Roosevelt leaders, state and na- iional, Indicated they considered victory unusually desirable by enlisting the aid of their candidate's son, James D. Roosevelt.

He spoke at a San Francisco rally Saturday. Smith supporters declared victory would definitely check the Roosevelt drive for a convention nomination and would send their candidate's chances to a high level.

Glaciers will melt and oceans will rise, and-But let the weather man get in on this.

It took a weather man to think up the idea and a whole audience of weather men to listen to it with composure and without adopting a resolution or staging a demonstration. Dr. William J. Humphreys of the United States Weather Bureau took a lot of evidence to make up the painstaking case, presented today to the American Meteorological Society, that the earth's glaciers if melted would raise the ocean level 150 i'eet, and that the aforementioned slight increase in warmth would do the melting. One could still be dry above the 155th floor level in cities with skyscrapers, but all about would be the bounding waves.

New York, London, Paris, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Washington, Shanghai--all gone. By way of cheer, Dr. Humphreys pictured the world as delicately balanced between this catastrophe and the equally cheerless prospect of another glacial period. It would take but a drop of five or six degrees in the earth to bring back the ice age, with Canada and the United States as far south as Kentucky and Iowa one vast rink. a But skating enthusiasts needn't cheer.

Dr. Humphreys said the earth is gradually growing warmer and the next ice age, although forecast, is some millions ol years off. So, probably is the glacier melting period. LONDON, May young scientists of Cambridge University were hailed today as having achieved a goal physicists have- sought to reach for years. They have broken the atom.

In announcing details of what he called, "a discovery of great scientific importance," Lord Rutherford, noted scientist, said Drs. J. D. Cockroft and E. T.

S- Walton accomplished the feat after several years of work with apparatus erected under his supervision. Dr. Cockroft said he and his colleague bombarded hydrogen atoms with a voltage of 120,000 and that under the bombardment the hydrogen atoms began to break up into helium, a stiil rarer gas. The helium atoms, he said, came out of the bombardment with energies of 100 to 160 times those of the particles fired into them. Only one particle broke up, however, for every 10,000,000 particles used to bombard it, he said.

Dr. Cockroft, the older of the two experiments, is only 34. Scientists have long hoped to split at atom, some contending that when this feat was accomplished a boundless source of energy would be available. There have been extremists who feared the accomplishment would bean the hurling of the world to destruction. principal city of Sulu Island, advic- 'es said.

Once the premier miler of America, a lad who stepped into the books with a brave 4:12, a versatile athlete of cinders, of the arena, of Canadian snows and, lately, of the marathon dance, Ray dropped from the latter contest early today and started for Chicago. A telegram told him that his ten- year-old daughter, Rosalie, was dying. News of her illness as a cruel climax to months of tough luck that has hung at his heels.

Ray has been grinding his way around a marathon dance floor for four weeks. He wanted the prize money that will go to the couple or the individual who outlasts all others in the wearying round of etrpsi chore. He was the favorite. But the bad breaks began early. His original partner quit the contest to marry.

For hours he carreld on alone. Then he acquired another partner. She collapsed under the punishing test. Joie kept on. He had raced grueling miles against the crack track- men of the land--and won.

To say he was not a great athlete Ls to ignore the 800 medals and trophies he treasures. But the trophies may go soon. Joie said he would sell "his medals to raise money for the effort to save his daughter's life GRID PLAYER DIES. ST. LOUIS, May seven transfusions of blood, volunteered by other players, Frank Imbor, of East Chicago, a member of the Amana Society Changes Today To a Capitalistic Corporation After 90 Years of Experimenting.

HOMESTEAD, May --A 90-year-old venture in communism gave way today to the capitalistic system as the Amana Society became a stock corporation operating under Iowa laws. For almost a century in the United States, and for that long previously in Germany, members of the society have shared alike from the gains of their co-operative work. All workers, whether farming, tending looms in the woolen mills, or directing the society, received the same share of food, clothing, other necessities and such luxuries as sale of surplus goods provided. Families lived in individual homes but cooking was done in community kitchens and the meals were served at common centers in the four villages which form the community. Being a deeply religious organization moving pictures were not shown in the towns, young ladies did not use cosmetics, and until a few years ago motor vehicles were a rarity.

Beginning today, however, and during a one-year transitional period all members of the society will receive ten cents an hour for work done, each family will have a home and garden rent free, and goods will be sold at the colony stores at cost plus handling charges. SLAYS HIS WIFE. ST. LOUIS, May Busekrus, 53-j'ear-old stationery engineer, beat his wife to death with a coal shovel at their home here Saturday night after she had attacked him, he said, with a butcher knife during a quarrel. Busekrus fled after the attack but later surrendered to police.

He said the quarrel was caused by his objections to his wife giving money to his stepson. BLOWOUT PROVES FATAL.

CHICAGO, May Standard Gas and Electric Company today reported surplus earnings of $8,706,669 for 1931, an equivalent of $4.02 share on common stock outstanding. This compared with a surplus of $13,082,493 for 1930, or $6.04 a share.

GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVII A LL the way down town in tiie bus (she had insisted on going alone), Susan marveled at the as- tonislilns thing that had just happened. It was true slie Oid not like Be- very well.

He was too moody, too unexpected. He did not, as Ray would have said, "know how to treat a girl." His manner was abrupt. Altogether he was an embarrassing sort of suitor. Despite all this Susan felt flattered at his proposal. After all, it meant something! However gawky or impossible a man might be, a proposal of marriage nevertheless conferred a distinction upon tlie girl who received it "Not that I'm going about shout- Ing 'Ben' Lampman's asted me to marry him," she thought, half ashamed of those rather ignoble thoughts.

Still she was pleased and was conscious of a half formulated plan to teil Ray about it in the sketchiest way possible. Even Ray might he impressed. At this stage In her reflections the bus reached the corner where sho was to alight. Down town was curiously deserted in the early summer evening. She had only 15 minutes to spare and the station was a good eight blocks away.

She hurried. It would never do to be late when she was meeting Aunt Jessie. Breathless, she reached the big terminal with a few moments to spare and stood outside the iron gates with a small group stragglers as the train wheezed In. There she was! No, that wasn't Aunt Jessie, after all. Men and women came trailing through, the gate.

Clusters of family groups; a dapper traveling salesman or two; last of all. brisk and efficient nnd scolding tho red cap who carried Uer baggage, was Auut Jessie. BY She had not known she would be so glad to see Aunt Jessie. Susan felt an actual little rush ot painful emotion at this eight of her relative. The lean, trim figure in Us slightly old-fashioned suit, the dark liair strained back under the blue straw hat--these seemed dear and familiar to the girl.

Forgotten for the moment were the old grievances as the two kissed and clung together. There was a suspicion moisture in Aunt Jessie's eyes as she surveyed her niece. "I declare, you've got real thin," she worried. "No telling how you've been eating since I've been awav." CUSAN laughed and squeezed her arm. In an instant they were back on tha old footing.

"You'd ba surprised!" she said. "Rose has cooked spinach and I baked potatoes and the bouse is so clean you won't know it" Aunt Jessie sniffed incredulously. They had reached the main exit of the station and the youth carrying the baggage murmuring something about getting a taxi. Aunt Jessie fixed him with an intimidating stare. "Nothing of the sort, young man!" she announced.

"You put my things on the street car right across the street and I'll be obliged to you." Sho gave him a tip with tho air of a dowager duchess and so bright and fierce was her gaze that he did not dare to grumble at the smallness of it, Susan watched this encounter, amused. When they were settled on the trolley, the bulging bags disposed at their feet. Aunt Jessie turned to her and said "Now me what you've been doing while I've been away." Susan had to think quickly. She wanted to be honest with her aunt but there were, after all, some things sha could not make her understand. The episode of the evening with Jack Waring and Ray Flannery.

for instance. Nothing had happened--nothing, really. She had been foolish to go in the first place, had acknowledged her mistake and was sorry for It. Rose had been sworn to secrecy on the subject and Rose could be trusted. Peeling very small and uncomfortable, Susan said, "Oh, just about the usual thing," Aunt Jessie seemed satisfied.

She began to talk of Cousin Lucy's baby i and John's new car and her sister's operation. Susan drew a deep breath of relief. ESOLUTELT all this had boon pushiag the thought of Bob Dunbar into the background. On the Monday after her aunt's return the girf reached the office a few minutes ahead time. This was always the best part of the clay.

Everything had a cool, clean, washed air. Susan revelled in the smallest of her tasks. Opening windows, brushing the week-end film of dust away from her employer's desk, sorting the mail and putting the door on latch. In the midst of these activities the telephone rang. It was Mr.

Heath announcing he had been delayed and would not he down until half-past 10. Susan's sense of well-being deepened. Nodding good morning to Pierson, she unfolded the morning newspaper and began Idly to scan its columns. Scarcely ever did Susan glance at the society pages but a new gossip department, written by a chatty person known to her readers as the Duchess, caught her eye. As sometimes happens, one name resolved itself into the blackest type and leaped out at the girl.

She read the paragraph with passionate interest. "A little birdy tells us wedding bells are soon to ring for that dashing young sportsman, Bobby Dunhar. Who the charming lady la your Duchess is not free to disclose, but she has it on the best authority that Mendelssohn's wedding march will be played for Lord Robert before the leaves begin to turn. By the bye, that lucky young man 13 in Scotland for August, at somebody or other's handsome shooting box. More anon." Susan felt for one sick moment as though her heart had plunged to her shoes.

The sensation was distressing and alarming, a little like that experienced when an elevator shoots abruptly from the twentieth floor to the first. Fiercely she reminded herself there was no reason why she should care. What had her friendship with Dunbar been except a few pleasant hours spent together with a luncheon table between them? She had been a fool--a fool--a fool! Young men of his type and station thought nothing of saying charming things to girls like herself. She had mistaken the merest polite interest for something deeper and more important. Thus reason spoke.

Susan's rebellious heart kept clamoring that all thig was wrong. There had been between Robert Dunbar anil herself a marvelous, perfect Only for an In- slant, Indeed, yet it had been thera and had been recognized by the boy as well as by herself. She realized with a clear, blind- Ing flash of perception that it was because of Robert Dunhar that she had refused to encourage either Waring or Ben Lampiaan, She had been, as the saying goes, "waiting Mr. Right to coma along." Ah, but Mr. Right had coma and hadn't known her! What an idiot sha had been to believe all tha silly, old tales about true lore.

CHE twisied her lips In a cynical smile. What, she wondered dismally, was the use of waiting and striving and hoping if the one really perfect thing were to be snatched away from you? Robert had wanted to tell her something that day at luncheon. She was sure of it. Denisa Ackroyd had Interrupted and the moment had passed, never to come again. He had forgotten it while Susan had "remembered.

At the recollection she Cang up her head with a sudden startled movement. The look ot surprised pain in her clear, long-fringed eyes was so agonized that the man staring at her was shaken out of his usual insouciance. Confused, Susan murmured, "Good morning, Mr. Waring." Waring returned her greeting and moved on (.0 his own desk. The memory of that stricken look stayed with him.

He decided that Susan was not quite the raw child she seemed. There had been something desperately wounded in her gaze, something Infinitely appealing. The look had torn away without his volition the covering Jack Waring kept over his own dead youth. Those who knew him nowadays would scarcely have credited it, hut Waring had been a shy, sensitive boy who agonized over trifles. His early marriage, his wife's subsequent betrayal, these were things he preferred to forget.

In spite ot all his ettorts sometimes the ghost rose up and gava him pause. He called to Susan presently "Will you take a Cew letters for me, Miss Carey, please?" She came, notebook in hand, moving like a figure in a dream. In a low tone, so that Pierson should not overhear, the man said to her, "I'm sorry about the other night. I behaved like a rotter and I know it, I apologize." Susan looked at him lifelessly. What did It matter, she thought.

And so when Waring said, "Let's be friends, shan't we?" she only nodded. Be Continued).
