The anti feed-the-frivolous cam-, paign was started by one hard-headed American ambassador who became tired of endless entertaining for do-nothing Yankees abroad THE knowledge that approximately was spent by the Newies in Washington to pay publicity agents is neither startling nor encouraging it is obvious that any additions to the other Washington dipsy-doos will not make much of an impression on us there have been so many screwy propositions thrown at us that we are getting pretty calloused the next item to be considered is that of the remote chance of any of the government-employed copy writers presenting anything but a glowing picture of the entire proposition after all, even if one government branch is about as necessary to the national welfare as the seven-year itch. It is hardly likely that its publicity men will let the people in on the truth this would not only embarrass the proposition, but might also lose for the publicity man his job then there is also the fact to be considered that the newspapers and news services in the and decided instead he was going PUBLISHED DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY.

The result was that few important figures of the republic were entertained, few friendships hearing about someone's pet money-waster painted as indispensable to the nation were made, and the ambassador there is one other little item to be considered. too this is the fact that the law specifical wasn't worth his salt.

HE RUNS A GOOD PAPER. ZEKE Pumpkin Center Jonah A PAGE FROM KILLERS' RECORDS Lester Brockelhurst received the death penalty in Arkansas as the result of his "Crime Tour." That is what the records will show. But they are not altogether accurate. It is true Brockelhurst was a killer.

But that alone will not bring him to the chair. He faces a just punishment because of two things, one, he was apprehended so shortly after his crime that witnesses had no difficulty in recognizing him, and, two, he voluntarily waived his constitutional privilege to keep his lips closed, and talked. The case of Ruth Freed, who -vas discharged from custody at Chicago on the same day that Brockelhurst was shunted toward the chair in Askansas, presents in pretty strong outline what may be accomplished under our flabby laws by a killer who is close-mouthed and has accurate and cunning legal advice. Mrs. Freed disappeared at Chicago on July 2nd last directly after a flaming flasher called Miss Vallette was murdered.

The accused answered the description of the woman who entered Miss Vallette's apartment just before the murder. She was also the wife of one on whom Miss Vallette was at the time showering her fickle affections. No one ever suspected anyone of the murder except Ruth Freed. But the accused had dropped out of sight with a sudden effacement that could not have been accomplished without previous plan and methodical assistance. After the lapse of a year, witnesses who saw the killer enter the apartment were uncertain in their recognition, a not unnatural circumstance, although there was evidence of tampering.

Moreover, Ruth Freed indicated an intimate acquaintance with the constitution. After giving her name to the coroner she declined to answer all other questions. And that ended it. She was discharged. The fact that an accused person will secrete herself for a year while newspaper headlines are announcing the search is powerful evidence of guilt.

The fact that such an accused person will not answer a single question concerning her whereabouts at the time of the killing, or since, or why she went into concealment, are likewfse potent circumstances pointing toward guilt and continuing so to point while they remain unexplained. The lapse of a year during which the officers are helpless furnishes an excellent opportunity to a criminal to corrupt witnesses by bribery, intimidation or otherwise, and the delay furnishes an excuse for the answer from the stand, "I don't know." An accused person's privilege of remaining mute is a relic of conditions in the distant past that no longer exist, and the rule should be altered. Today it amounts to nothing more than a weapon in the hands of the sly and the artful, used solely for the purpose of keeping criminals free. And there are enough of them free without it. It is a reflection upon intelligent government, and a double reflection upon rulers who permit it to stand because urging its repeal might not be of any particular value in getting votes.

I don't read any of Colonel Frank Knox's newspapers. He was the prophet, you know who said if Roosevelt was re-elected no sav ings bank account or life insurance policy would be worth a tinkers damn. He believed, like the Prophet in Holy writ. "To him who hath, shall be given, and to him so hard-ridden by the American colony that he wound up his service with a bare fraction of the foreign connections he had hoped to establish. Not ail Americans will be cut off his guest list.

Some have important connections and cannot be snubbed. But there are fists full of rich Americans who failed to make Newport yet find that their supplies of candy make them big enough to get along in some foreign colony. So they impinge on the ambassador's time and eat his fried-cakes without contributing a penny-weight of "inside" help. Costly Business Screams of indignation from the "parasites" echoed back to Washington, But the state department, very covertly of course, was overjoyed. It recognized the necessity of constant and expensive entertaining by its ambassadors and ministers.

It would like to see the money spent where it will count, however. Hint to careerists: Cut more Americans, court more furriners. Ambassadors get $17,500 a year, which seems big potatoes to most of us, but doesn't stack up very high diplomatically. It costs rnore than that to do the part at London and Paris. Congress used to appropriate a little on the side for the entertainment fund.

But an economy wave, together with a discovery during prohibition days that some of the money went for wines and other liquor, put an end to it.

He said; "We have, advised the administration, through the Secretary Labor and the Governor of Michigan, that for six months the economic royalists represented by General Motors contributed their money and used their energy to drive this administration out of power. The administration asked labor to repel this attrack and labor gave its help. The workers of this country expect the administration to help the workers in every legal way. and to support the workers in General Motors plants. Brutally blunt and bitterly true.

Ezekiel Sodbuster THE NEIGHBORLY POLICY MARCHES ON There are those who are thoroughly dissatisfied with the casual and leisurely way followed by our neighbors in taking over American property and confiscating American wealth.

There are advocates who declare that the operation should be performed at one fell swoop so that those involved might have something else to engage their talents at banditry. Mexico is following a course of her own, neither slow nor instantaneous although rather swift. The government there has just taken over the railroads, expropriated them without sign or warning. Thus about 40,000 employes become servants of the government. And thus new and vital problems, concerning government itself are confronted.

But the interesting thing insofar as the Neighborly Policy is concerned affects the treatment of American investors. These investors have about 73 millions of American dollars in Mexican railroads. They invested at the request of the Mexican government in control at the time the investments were made, a matter of form 30 to. 50 years ago. They were probably quite willing to make the investment expecting at least a normal income end hoping that the development of the country, and therefore the extension of the railroads, might make the investment a sound and judicious one.

The Mexican government has merely taken their property. Dillinger and a gun typifies this method as applied to individuals. With oil on its voice and a gleam of hypocrisy in its eye Mexico says it will value these interests and pay for them. As though Mexico ever paid anyone for anything! Heretofore it has been considered a rule of civilization that before you took anyone's property away from him for public purposes you valued it and paid for it. The patriots in the American Constitutional Convention put that proposition right into the constitution.

They had a similar provision in the Mexican constitution. They got around it very easily. They just packed the court. Of course Americans will not get anything out of this theft of their property at all. Before the announcement of the Neighborly policy the Mexican government would not have dared to commit this robbery in the daylight and on a principal street.

But it understands the Neighborly Policy thoroughly. It reads between the lines. It knows you can never depend upon the language of an independable administration. Was language ever invented excepting for the purpose of deceiving the yokels? So it follows suit. It, too, uses its prettiest language.

It will value Americans' property and it will pay for that property. It uses this language to deceive just as the language of the Neighborly Policy has been used to deceive, blindfold the people to what has been going on as their pockets are picked and their property is expropriated for the glory of the revolt that is bound to come. ules may be obliterated by treatment similar to the chemical obliteration of varicose veins by injection.

For Rose, who likes to produce Your liirthday BUSINESS OF EATING AT ODD HOUSE There will be no special room to be designated and used exclusively as a dining room at Odd House. Oh, we enjoy eating well enough, too well, perhaps, and that is one reason why there will be no dining room. The" space slavish builders usually give to the dining room will be used for the library at Odd House. Contrasted with the forbidding austerity of the conventional dining room an honest-to-goodness library with real books, globe, dictionary, encyclopedia, maps and the like, makes an ideal place to entertain dinner guests. And heaven forbid that any guest at Odd House shall ever be baited with finger-bowl or doily.

At one end of the kitchen a space nearly or quite the size of the kitchen proper will be reserved for the everyday business of eating snacks, lunches, breakfasts, dinners when just ourselves or intimate friends are dining. While it is possible of course to serve a good meal in a starchy dining-room extravagantly and imposingly fitted with impedimenta and whatnots, I cannot recall ever having enjoyed a feed in such an environment. Maybe this is merely because I'd rather npt remember such occasions anyway, you can see why there shall be no dining-room at Odd House. This end of the kitchen to be used for the business of eating will open upon whatever pleasant outdoor aspect, patio, garden or yard the building plot affords; so that we may have coffee or the whole meal served out there or the hired man can enjoy his crackers and milk out there between games, so to speak. Games of what? Never mind, you wouldn't know unless you have played the ancient game of bowls in a serious way.

Whether the fuel used for cooking is coal, wood, kerosene, gasoline, charcoal or gas. the stove will be covered by an ample cowl with a vent passing straight up from the cowl out thru the roof to the open air, to carry products of combustion, smoke, fumes, steam and odors out of the house. If the vent pipe cannot pass straight up high enough to insure a good updraft, a suction fan will be installed in it to draw the vapors and odors out of the kitchen. All taps or faucets in the kitchen sink, as throuout Odd House, will be operated by foot pedal. All coffee grounds will be emptied down the kitchen sink drain this practice helps scour and keep clear the drain which Is otherwise likely to become obstructed by accumulations of hardened grease.

If electric power is not excessive in cost, the kitchen will have an electric garbage disposal plant a gadget which shreds or grinds into pulp all garbage and disposes of it thru the kitchen sink drain in the most sanitary possible way. This practice has been found satisfactory, does not tend to clog the drain but on the contrary keeps it clear, and does away with the objectionable garbage receptacle and the nuisance of the garbage collector. Only tap water will be used for drinking purposes, and an electric water cooler separate from the refrigerator. A water softener will be installed to soften the tap water for bathing and laundry purposes. circuses in opera houses and whose stunts have enlivened state world fairs, has now come through with a musical comedy that takes place IF THIS HERE OCR LAST SIMMER If this were ourYist summer, I would be Striving to please in large and little ways.

Vyshinsky, a noble Soviet who has had much to do with the exposure of treason and Trotskyism in Russia, now declares that all these "Vinovieff and Kam-eneff conspirators' and the flock of army officers selling out their country and the thousands of lesser hunks of clay who were unceremoniously shot have not told the whole truth. Quoting him: "They told less than half the truth in their testimony arid they actually lied and doublpdealt again, trying to conceal others from investigation and thus preserve them." If the world was unable to swallow the "confessions" so completely and beautifully detailed by these arch-conspirators who loved to brag of their devilish treason how can it be expected to absorb still further facts that the conspirators, now cold in death, failed to expose? Reading those other "confessions" most people thought there was nothing so abject and damning that men could tell. But My. Vyskinsky says you haven't heard the half of it. Translated from the difficult Slavic words in the Russian language his statement means that there are still some hundreds of thousands to be shot.

He doesn't want the Russian people to feel secure merely because the big guns told their story. He wants the people to understand that they are in groat danger, that the Trotsky conspiracies were much more farreaching than first supposed and have actually permeated every condition of Russian life. This will likely lead to a beautiful period of witch hunting. Every cross-eyed boy and every girl with a little St. Vitus dance, every man and women who has a peculiar twitch or an unusual cowlick will' be hunted out.

July 1, 1912 The Democratic national convention in Baltimore was still tightly deadlocked that day, after the thirty-first ballot, in its efforts to select a candidate for president. On the last ballot taken that day the count was Wilson 475: Clark 44R: Underwood H6J; Harmon 17; and Kern 2.

Any disappointment you may suffer this day, probably will be more than compensated for, by a pleasant surprise. There may be a period during the day that the imagination will be responsible for some very fantastic idea, the principal one being an imaginary injustice, or that someone has deliberately ignored you.

Anything of a disconcerting nature very likely can be easily rectified, providing you go about it in the right way. Married and engaged couples, and those who would be willing to become formally betrothed, will show good judgment if they are better listeners than talkers this day. If a woman and June 29 is your birthday, you may have to be careful not to overindulge the cravings of a sweet tooth if you wish to retain a youthful figure. You perhaps are witty, excellent company and very popular. You, in all likelihood, plunge headlong into things with'an enthusiasm that leaves your friends gasping.

You are stimulated to activity more by inspiration than by impulse. You probably are able to anticipate contingencies. The chances are you will be very fortunate in money matters, and in time may have substantial sums at your disposal. You are very practical in some ways, but apparently theorec-tical in others.

AND WITH PRICES THE SAME WAY Matt Schmidt AFTER FOLIC OWNERSHIP IS COMPLETE The senate committee at Washington has ascertained that the Post Office Department of the government was virtually subject to the control of strike leader Lewis. When the strike leader told the mails to keep out of a certain plant they kept out. The attempt to justify was first placed upon the ground that food was transported in great quantities through the parcels pott, but the senate committee finds that the simplest articles of wearing apparel and hygiene, from a pair of socks to a toothbrush, were refused delivery at the direction pf the C.I.O. That this has never happened before in America's history, that it is a bending of all governmental agencies to the purpose of one man at the head of a movement revealing many irresponsible actions is a matter by itself, and yet directly related to prevailing policies that are fraught with peril for all. After the government has all its wa-terpower developed and the private utilities ruined and is the sole purveyor of light and power it will not be necessary for leaders of the Lewis type to bother forming beautiful patterns in the water and achieving an almost unbelievable effect in rhythm and beauty.

The most breath-taking scene is when the mermaids, adorned with luminous bathing caps and gloves, dip into the waves and frisk like porpoises while exotic lights play upon them and casts an enchantment that lasts for hours after the show is over and the audien'ce has left its seats to dance to the strains of Wayne King's romantic waltzes.
