It should be added, finally, that the new deficit now in sight is the ninth in a rqw; that on no previous occasion since the Government of the United States was founded nave the American people gone for so long a period with an unbalanced budget. and that the national debt, which stood at a little more than twenty billion dollars when Mr. Roosevelt took office, will st at a little more than forty billion dollars at the end of the current fiscal vear.

Those are the facts that must be kept in mind in order to understand the significance of the fiscal statement that was published yesterday. They are blunt facts which point to a budgetary situation that is increasingly disturbing. Thoughtful Americans will asK themselves long this process of borrowing and spending can continue. and what the end will be. The end.

as envisaged by the Roosevelt Administration, is a business boom to be generated through the vigorous use of the so large and so long- sustained a business boom that revenues will rise, relief needs will decline, expenditures can be reduced and the budget can be brought into balance automatically. But there is another and better way in which to attempt to generate a business boom than by gambling wrsistently with the national credit. That way is to amend one-sided laws, to restore business confidence in the methods of the Government, to remove artificial obstacles block recovery, to put the nation's finances in shape so that, the heavy burden of taxation can be eased to free private enterprise from unnecessary handicaps and to get production started uo again. The longest and best sustained periods of economic stability that this country has ever known have not come when the Government was its way into They have come when the Government was content to govern the country quietly, to encourage the spirit of private initiative and to put and keep its fiscal aff airs in such good order that confidence in the national credit w'as unbounded. NOTABLE VICTORY FOR VAN NUYS (From The Boston Transcript) There Is no solace whatever for President Roosevelt in the action taken yesterday at the Indiana State Democratic convention By renominating Senator Van Nuys, the delegates went directly contrary to the known desires of the President and indirectly at least, refused to regard as heresy the opposition to the White Hou.se bills sought to pack the Supreme Court and reorganize the Federal departments.

Furthermore the attempt to write into the platform a plank which would make Roosevelt rubber stamps out of the State's representatives in Congress was overwhelmingly beaten down. To be sure, the presidential aspirations of Paul V. McNutt had something to do with the final result. It was this favorite son of Indiana who engineered the harmony program. But by yielding to his demands and ignoring the wishes of the President, the convention made it clear that it thought more of Mr.

McNutt than it did of Mr. Roosevelt. For Senator Van Nuys, it is a His renomination Books are circulating widely this summer for the Vacation Reading Club.

But it is significant to note that, the British people, with twice as large a per capita debt as ours, are paying only moderately heavier per capita taxes. This, says the July number of the National City Bank Bulletin which has made a special study of the subject. evidently due to a lower level of government operating of in this country." WHAT Is important in comparison to Great Britain or any other country is not the amount of taxes, but the rate at which the debt and the taxes are both climbing. Thus, since 1930, the British have in- MR ROOSEVELT has estimated the deficit for the coming fiscal vear at around $4.000.000 000. but he has figured in only eight months of WPA.

The prospect is that the deficit will go much higher than $4 000,000,000. The biggest issue before the country, indeed. Is that is liberality with the money or thrift, waste and extravagance, or prurience and thrift. Nowhere on his trip across the continent has the President offered the slightest suggestion as to how the nation is going to cope with the enormous debt it now faces. In the absence of a concrete program, the conclusion Is inexcapable that the Sadie iviis administration is drifting opportunistically, and that It has no program for the future except more political bunkum perhaps about so-called PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is now- on the Pacific Coast.

While there, he might find time to call on Herbert Hoover at Palo Alto and offer his sincere apologies for that speech made by Mr Roasevelt in March, 1933, when he accused his predecessor of plunging the nation on the road at a time when the total debt incurred to fight the then existing de- ression was less than $5.000,000.000. almost that amount is being spent in a single year of the supposedly prosperous years of the abundant life under the administration of the new tories.

I do not have much of an opportunity to meet boys but I do have older brothers going to college and prep school and I know how many different girls they go with. Boys are all the same. Do not give your heart to one.

Go with several and after you are older decide who you like the best and stick to him. Young boys like every pretty or charming girl they see. Don't let them make a fool of you. Instead you make the fool of them. Beat them at their own game.
