New York, Aug. 6. Quite bare of the swirling and swishing "grand technique" is Hans Carossa's "Boyhood and Youth." It is, indeed, so modest a little book it might be described as "poignant" if there were any meaning left in that overladen word. But it is far and away the best book of the week, as it quietly strolls along, extending the tale begun in "A Childhood" through the hazy transition that forms a youth from a boy. Its subject matter is thus univer II Mail, Zones 5, 6.

It would return the cost of the project so that eventually the taxpayers would not be out a cent. That is a sample of the character of undertakings the reconstruction finance corporation directors have in mind. They hope to use the funds at their disposal so that there will be the minimum of waste and the maximum of permanent benefits. That is a much different program from the plan insisted on by Speaker Garner, whose idea of helping the unemployed was to saddle the national Treasury with a bill for $500,000,000 to be used in building post offices regardless of the needs of the communities in which they might be erected. The theory under which the reconstruction finance corporation will proceed is that the money it puts out will be in the nature of loans.

It will help railways and other going concerns that are in need of cash to carry out development programs. The credit of the country will be utilized to get the wheels of industry to turning. That must be accompanied before there can be permanent benefit from any governmental expenditure. Building post offices might help a few contractors permanently and a few laborers temporarily.

The thought is lucid, and the writing like a flawless lens through which many lovely things may be seen clearly. Kentucky Home Precisely at the opposite pole is Gleen Allan's "Old Manoa," of the earth earthly and happy in its ribaldry. Old Manoa is a horse breeder with a talent for managing people by letting them manage him. He is a gorgeous old sinner, with companions and a thirst to match.

Mr. Allan has made him credible, and it was no easy task, for the entire text is written in the broad speech of the free-living Kentucky gentleman, sometimes difficult to read but never pointless. With the customary trumpetings from across the water, there arrives a new novel by J. B. Priestley called, "Faraway." In it Mr.

Priestley takes an amazingly outworn plot (his for the asking or less) and executes around it a performance of the first rank. "Faraway" is a treasure story, but acted by flesh and blood people, and unraveled with the gay wisdom that is the distinguishing point of this able writer. THE fair grounds shore looked all dolled up this mornin' as I came past," said the Old Timer, to the boys fn the Corner Grocery: "Them fellers have done theirsehes proud this year, gettin' ready fer the biggest and best Fair Muncie ever had. This is the Eightieth Fair that's been held here, and when you fellers go out there tomorrow and the rest of the week and hear the band concerts and see them free acts they'll put on, the racin', the horses and cet-tle, and all the other things that're there, may be you won't think so much of it, jest take it fer granted that it's all comin to you fer your two-bits you pay at the gate. But let me tell you one thing, Bill, and that Is.

it ain't no easy chore gettin' all them events and people and animals and exhibits lined up, and take care of everything and everybody, and then take down the decorations atter everybody has gone home and the excitement is over. "You know. Mac, durin' the part; eighty year there's been four different organizations here that's bppn puttin' on Fairs. On March 4. 1852.

an Agricultural Society fer Delaware County was formed and held their first meetin' Jn October of that year. Martin Galliher. the grand daddy of Ed, was the first President. They held a big meetin' the next Fourth July and tried to get Governor Wrighc to come here and give an agricultural address. But, guess It wasn't election year, and he didn't come.

But they had a big time, anyhow, without him. On October 6, 1853, they held their second Fair in the Courthouse yard. They had seventy-four members then, and had a big time, givin' premiums fer the best horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat, corn, pertatoes, grass seed, butter, cheese, farm implements and various articles displayin' mechanics 1 skill, also poultry, fruit and flowers. Some list, I'll sav. And about $15 00 was given In" prizes.

Think of that, fer them days. And they didn't stop there. Stephen Martin, over in Hamilton Township, received a certificate from the society on his wheat He raised 306 bushels of wheat, as cleaned by a scperator threshin' machine, from a 12-acre field, over 25 bushel to the acre. Wheat sold then at 75 cents a bushel, and corn brought in 25 cents a bushel. Next year, in 1854.

they held a two-day meetin' in September, havin' leased for 15 years a five-acre piece o' ground that had been bought byt the Commissioners fer fair purposes. They put up a fence and some buildin's and settled down to show people that Delaware County was on the map. They had over a hundred members that year. 'Bout two years later they held a three-day meetin'. They had lots o' confidence in thcirselves then, had over 200 members, and the premiums were paid in silverware, books, money and diplomas.

Then, in I860, jest eight years atter they started, they began to take in more territory, you might say. and advertised they were openin' competition in all events to all mankind. Then the next year they passed the word out that the fairgrounds were free fer the use of schools and picnic by the citizens. There was a big dispute that year between two fair contestants fer honors that the judges couldnt settle, each one claim in' they were the winner. No.

Mac, it wasn't a bathin' beauty contest. Far from it. although I bet they would've gone good, ef they could've got anybody to enter it. This was a ridin' match, and the two young ladies. Miss Warfel and Miss An The 20th Amendment Tinkle of the Dawn Patrol By O.

"A person can not twice be placed in jeopardy of life and limb for the same offense." State and federal laws interlock, but Bert Lahr boy, boy, boy!" George M.

The other day she toddled into the celebrated dad's study at his estate near Augusta, and inquired whether her German police dog Frieda had white fleas or black fleas. The father replied that he supposed black, of course. Nancy puckered an eyebrow for an instant and replied: "Well.

Mary's little lamb had fleas as white as snow." LEGISLATIVE OBSTINACY. TSE charge of insincerity does not fit the case of those legislators who insisted on passing the bills to limit the tax levy to $1.50 on each $100 of property and the income tax measure. They were "not trying to fool any one, not even themselves. Governor Leslie told them plainly that he would veto both measures, and explained why. The first bill would result in chaos because it would not produce the money needed to insure the functioning of governmental units.

The second bill is of such doubtful constitutionality it would be taken into the courts and produce nothing for years, if ever. Knowing the facts, the legislators went ahead and passed bills that can not be expected to result in any benefit to the state. Theirs was plainly a case of obstinacy. They remind one of the petulant little boy who bumps his head on the floor when he finds he can not do what he desired. Their attitude was indicated by Democratic Floor Leader McKesson when the suggestion was made that the attorney general be interrogated concerning the constitutionality of the income tax bill.

"The attorney general doesn't determine the constitutionality of a law. His opinion is no better than that of hundreds of lawyers. He isn't the Supreme Court." Any one of the hundreds of lawyers to which Mr. McKesson made reference could tell the legislators the history of the attempts at passing a valid income tax law in the face of the present restrictions in the state constitution. Any one of them could tell them that the obstacle is considered so serious that two sessions of the General Assembly have concurred in a proposed amendment to be voted on in November in the hope of making possible an income tax law that will be valid.

The governor called legislative attention to the "proposal that is to be up for ratification in November. In view of the fact that the constitutional inhibition is so well known, the legislators insisted on wasting their time voting an income tax. The same men who have been talking so loudly in the legislative halls probably will do little or nothing in November to bring about ratification of an amendment that would give the General Assembly at its next session unquestioned authority to pass an income tax law. If the people want a state income tax they should get behind the proposal to amend the constitution. They should awaken to the need for action at the polls and not in the legislative halls.

TJless the voters who are in earnest bestir themst ves, they may expect to see the amendment defeated by their own indifference and the activity of those interested in preventing income tax legislation. That has happened in the past and will happen again unless the voters realize their own responsibility and -quit expecting the impossible from the legislature. -W courts. In the trial L-L. I-.

of liquor cases as in the trial of other crimes and misdemeanors, state laws should govern. When there is a breakdown in the state judiciary system in the trial of rases affected by the Eighteenth amendment, all offenders should atone to the offended federal law. The Republican platform, like that of the Democratic, suggests the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment, but in a little different way. So far in this campaign Mr. Hoover has said nothing.

you visit Muncie's gladiolus show at the field house yesterday? If you didn't, don't fail to go there today. Muncie has never had anything like it before and it may be several years before another exhibit of the kind is held here. And according to persons who have attended such exhibits for years, the local show is superior to any that has been held in the state. It isn't easy to work up interest in a flower show, but we will wager there will be consid-able more interest displayed in the next exhibit held in Muncie for the folk here have now learned what a fine thing it is for the community. Anything is good for the community that creates interest in the home, and a goodly portion of the flowers exhibited in the show here yesterday, and today were grown by amateurs in their own home gardens.

That is one thing the Garden Club has done for Muncie. It has gotten a lot of people interested in some of the finer things that go to make life what it should be. The community is grateful to the Garden Club for having made possible this exhibit. We hope it is not the last one. For quite a while yesterday we watched a hitch-hiker standing at the junction of two highways.

He was trying to pick a ride to a neighboring town. We hope he got it for we would dislike to have many such characters in our midst very long. As cars whizzed past him without stopping, he would shake his fist and with an oath exclaim, "That's the respect they show us now." We finally had to ask him what he meant, and it didn't take him very long to tell us. He said he was in the World War and served in France and had practically "sacrificed his life for the country." He was a rather husky fellow and looked physically fit. He didn't say anything about not being able to get work, but said he was out on a sight-seeing trip.

He said it wasn't difficult to get something to eat and smoke but picking up rides was getting harder all the time. "We fought for 'em for two years and now they won't even give us a ride," were his parting words. One can readily understand why Mr. Waters and others couldn't control the crowd that was in Washington. One man like that can do more to injure the cause of the veterans than all the good a young army might do.

He is seeing "red" and doesn't want to see anything else. A $125,000 post office and not a place in it to mail packages during the hours when the window clerks are off duty. That's what we have in Muncie. We didn't believe it until one of our friends raised such a rumpus after he had tried to mail a package on Sunday that we went over and made a personal investigation. Sure enough some architect, designing engineer, or whatever they may be called in the postoffice department, pulled a "boner," for the package slot was forgotten entirely in the plans.

Of course, one will be provided as quickly as things can be revamped to make room for it. In the meantime if you have a package to put in the post office you had better get there before the windows are closed. Otherwise you will probably carry your package home. The city just finished spending several good dollars of the taxpayers' money for the improvement of East Washington street but it won't be long until the job will have to be done over unless extremely heavy traffic is barred from that street. A few days ago a friend called us and reported that a large excavating machine was being moved down the street.

It was estimated the truck and machinery weighed at least 50 tons. Washington street was not built for that kind of traffic and it should be barred. The fact of the matter is no such machinery should be permitted to move through the center of town. Last night we saw a motor truck bigger than any interurban freight car that ever ran through the city, turn north on Mulberry street at Adams, and it certainly made all other traffic take to other streets. The state policeman who put his okay on that truck must have lost his measuring stick.

Such vehicles have no business in the heart of the city. In fact, they have no business on any highway. A recent observation in this column of Mark Twain's description of a pretzel as a- doughnut with cholera morbus it wasn't Mark Twain's, but Irvin Cobb's, who, by the way, brings this news about the pretzel from a manufacturer: "The pretzel had its beginning in the gray monasteries of the middle ages. In those days, the priest taught the children to say prayers and would give a small cake called 'pretiola," meaning 'little One day an ingenious priest thought to make the pretiola a reminder of the good deed that had won it. So he folded the strip of dough to represent the folded arms of the children in the attitude of prayer.

And from its beginning the pretzel, with its folded arms, has represented prayer." a period of renewed productivity. It got so the public, which eagerly welcomed any product of his pen, understood his method fairly well and took a benevolent interest in each new application of it. The word went round, "Goethe is in love again." just as we might say, "Lewis is analyzing a new type of Babbit," or "Tarkington is watching some mischipvous small town boys," or "Wells has a scheme for creating Utopia." A hush fell over Weimar. Friends passed the poet's house and saw him walking in his garden or sitting at his desk. "Goethe is in love again," was the awed whisper.

So long, boys: see you next Sattiday, ef It's a fair day." National whirligig has this to say concerning "It is now generally known that Senator Borah alone is preventing the President from leaning in a wet direction in his acceptance speech. Many leading men with dry records are now wet. Why not the president? In the past.

President Hoover, has never favored repeal. He has made these clarifying statements: "Prohibition is a great social and economic experiment noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose. Modification of the enforcement laws, which would permit that which the constitution forbids, is nulification. If changes are made they should be worked out constructively. Law enforcement weakened long before the Eighteenth amendment was adopted.

The amendment must not be repealed. 1. By indifference of its citizens. 2. By exploitation of the delays and entanglements of the law.

3. By the combinations of criminals." Mr. Hoover wa.s in favor of the majority report submitted by the Wickcrsham committee. It has always seemed to me that President Hoover's views of the meaning of the Eighteenth amendment were somewhat in accord with the views held by dry Democrats, that necessity forced him to continue Andrew Mellon in charge of law enforcement on an. extreme nationalist basis, which encouraged "citizen indifference, exploitation of delays and entanglements and the combinations of gangsters the very boldest of criminals." If this view is correct, sympathy should be extended Mr.

Hoover for his failures and bungling attempts to enforce the Eighteenth amendment. Andrew Mellon, whose firm made during and just after the World War, in the eleven year's he was enforcement officer, hung a millstone about the President's neck, and left him to swim or sink amid the waves of popular disapproval. iOptiKMSl! fcdcxr Not the grinning sickly sort Which hopes a pint will be a quart; Not the optimism which Tells poverty that it is rich: Not the kind which laughs at care And whispers grief is good to bear, But optimism brave and strong, Which grits it teeth and battles wrong And dares to keep and hold a creed: This is now our present need.

ARGENTINA is reported as seeking an alliance with Peru, Chili and Brazil to prevent a war between Bolivia and Paraguay over the Gran Chaco boundary question. The United States, Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay and Colombia recently joined in note to the governments at LaPaz and Asuncion, asking that warlike activities be suspended until calm judgment prevail.

Our good advice having had little or no effect, Argentina and its associates evidently are planning to bring pressure to bear to prevent bloodshed. The Gran Chaco boundary dispute has appeared in the news columns from time to time for years. The question has been stirred up anew by the advances of both Paraguay and Bolivia into the disputed territory. The area involved is a vast, sparsely settled tropical district. It is practically oval in shape, being about 600 miles northwesterly and southeasterly and half the distance from northeast to southwest.

There never had been any definite boundaries established between the two countries, each making claims to large tracts disputed by the other. A war between the two nations would be a stupid blunder. Paraguay has a population of less than 1,000,000 and Bolivia has less than 3,000,000. They could not get together except by sending troops over vast stretches of uninhabited lands. Such a war would be indecisive and a useless waste of life and property.

It should be prevented, and probably will be. Like the revival of an old stage favorite Is this talk about profit-taking in the stock market. The legislature may try to make one of those endless chain affairs out of the chain store tax. Our Own Poets INTO THE TWILIGHT. Out-worn heart.

And cinders of that, day Of happy hours in fields and flowers We've spent during your stay. Depression, you made us feel blue For fear we'd starve and die But we're still here in spite of fear And many a long sigh. And I 'spect that, when things are pat And we have loads of work We'll think with grief of the relief If we could only shirk. Some day, I 'sposc, you'll stick your nose Once more into our life And give us peace and some release From labor's work and strife. We'll feel, I trow, as we do now.

That you're a nasty thing: Good times and bad. we're far too sad And bawl much more than sing. P. D. Q.

Your mother Eire is always youns. Dew 'ever shining and twilight, gray; Though hope fall from you and love decay. Burning in fires of a slanderous tongue. Come, heart, where hill is hesred upon hill; For there the mystical brotherhood Of sun and moon and hollow and wood And river and stream work out their will; And God stands winding His lonely horn, And time and the world are ever in flight; And love is less kind than the gray twilight. And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn.

William Butler Yeats (18G3 STARTING THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS. SENATOR WAGNER of New York has indicated some of the self-liquidating improvement projects that might be undertaken by the reconstruction finance corporation to aid in dealing with the unemployment situation. He cites, for example, the construction of another tunnel under the Hudson River. He calls attention to the fact that the Holland tunnel now in service has almost reached its traffic capacity and that it yielded a profit of more than $2,000,000 last year. The construction of a tunnel would not give employment to all those in need of work in the metropolis, but it would help in a worth while "Roosevelt Cons Reply to Walker," says a headline.
