Just as we read this proposal for keeping our citizenry fit, we note that Thomas Mann, one of the greatest of all novelists, now along with Albert Einstein, a political refugee from Hitler's Germany, is to become an American citizen. As such personalities as Mann and Einstein come to our shores, we may well pause and consider whether military man-power is more to be desired than power directed in occupations. It is possible these men might contribute future citizens on a par with our native military idols. Sterilization is not a sentence to be imposed wholesale but after individual consideration.

IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS Uncle Sam (short for the United States government) is up to his ankles in the real estate business and, according to Mallon, in "News Behind the News in Washington," may eventually be in up to his neck. A survey of obscure or unpublished official figures: shows: HOLC (home owners loan corporation) authorized seizure of 141,543 houses and properties, valued at $551,200,630, last March 81; is acquiring more now at the rate 'about 5,000 a month; has sold about is renting many of the others at a rental income of about $1,500,000 a month; total defaults are around 10 per cent of operations. The FCA (farm credit administration) was stuck with 9,969 farms, valued at $36,822,630, at the same date; also with 4,421 second mortgages on farms valued at defaults are running about 15 per cent of operations and another 30 per cent have been readjusted from time to time to ward off foreclosures. FHA (federal housing administration) with the best record, was holding 137 properties, valued at $518,299, on the same date, expects defaults to increase.

Thus, with around 142,000 town properties and about 10,000 farms and more coming in all the time, Uncle Sam stands a good chance of becoming the biggest private landlord in the Idaho, Daily Tribune. Down in Washington, wives lessons in speechmaking. Maybe spend the summer in congress the family are going back home ing against the November of congressmen are taking solons are preparing to and the weaker members of to do the political fence-mendround-up. Erroneous is the present concept of equal pay for equal work, declares Dr. Paul Popenoe, famous California psychologist.

Under this erroneous system, he contends, we put a high premium upon sterility and punish people for having children. We expect a man with large family to live on the same salary as one with no family, tho both may do the same work. It is surprising that Dr. Popenoe's suggestion wasn't challenged as being "un-American," for, unless we are greatly mistaken, that idea--pay according to need -has a "taint of communism" about it. Anyway, Uncle Sam, in his income tax exemptions, shows some mercy to the family man.

We are in full accord with the following observations from the editorial column of Charles H. Leckenby in the Steamboat Springs Pilot: "Justice Ben Hilliard is toying with the idea of running for the Democratic nomination for United States senator againat Senator Adams. That is the undoubted right of any citizen; that is what the primary is for. The Judge finds fault with Senator Adams because he has not at all times followed the lead of the president. A writer, however, makes a hit when he points out that, as a congressman, Hilliard did not blindly follow the leadership of Woodrow Wilson.

He voted against war and temporarily fell into deepest disrepute with his party. But nearly everybody now admits that Hilliard was right in his stand. We believe the people want a senator or representative to, in some measure follow the dictates of his own conscience and not blindly follow the lead of a president, however honest and able. If he did not do this, there would be no use in having senators or congressmen. We could let one man do it.

That is what they do in Russia, Italy and Germany." Sentiment -Old and New Things Worth While Picked Up Along the Way: Some From Pens Long Ago Laid Some From Pens of Later Days. OF STARS AND FIREFLIES Oh, seek you a star that is constant Which rests in the open sky; Yet stars are more distant, and colder Than warmth of a firefly, So perhaps fixed stars hold some magic From the high gods, like the moon; While a firefly glimmers, Then drags its frail wings too soon. But the firefly's an enchantress, You may catch her in the dark, While the flash that streaks from a comet Is an unignitible spark. Cold stars cast a spell of' aloofness That shall mystify the mind. To the soul of him who would star-gaze This allure is seldom kind.

For a star shall disdain moon-madness And love's chase for fireflies. Its power draws man, like a magnet, And compells until he dies. The meteor is a sorceress. Whom most men would long to touch; So instead they woo the firefly Until they have had too much Of hovering over a thistle Or clinging onto a rose. Oh, a star is a dark-eyed lady Who captures the soul- then goes.

Who worships a star of the heavens Suspended in spacious skies May forget that fools foster folly It they follow fair fireflies. -Caroline Parker Smith in North Carolina -Poetry Review.

Springer Spaniel PUPS Thorobreds 3 Months Old Priced Low 138 Rood Movie of the Month Coons Picks "Test Pilot" for Its Thrills -If You Agree It's Fun to Be Fooled As Hollywood correspondent of the Associated Feature Service and The Daily Sentinel, Robbin Coons names his Movieof-the-Month and tells why. By ROBBIN COONS (Associated Press Feature Service Writer) Hollywood, (P) -April produced two movie musta: "Teat Pilot" and "The Adventures of Robin Hood." Both are pictures to make you glad you left the armchair and slippers. Both have 80 much unusual merit that a choice between them for first place is difficult.

Just to make a choice, I'll string with Metro's "'Test Pilot." It's inconsistent, perhaps, to pick picture that has obvious: faults over one that has beautiful and spectacular production, scarcely a slow moment, some nice performances and the most beautiful color photography yet. "Robin Hood," with Errol Flynn astithe doughty avenger of porerty's wrongs and Olivia DeHavil. land As pretty Mald, Marian, is. happy realization romantic legend, It's thoroughly satisfying for what it is, both to youngsters and grown-ups, But "Test Pilot" is a story of today- -and vital story. It' la the story--the conflict between a wife and the "maiden in the sky" -that keeps the picture interesting even when It.

Isn't thrilling you with some of the most hair-raising flying stuff the screen has seen, Some of these scenes you'll you think about itthey couldn't possibly have filmed except thru trickery. But the story's good enough and the technical stunts are convincing enough that you probably won't think about that until afterward. It's Clark Gable's best performance as the title character, but the picture is full of splendid acting: Wing Breaks Off (It's done with models) Spencer Tracy in the mostly tagalong role of Gable's pal, Lionel Barrymore as the boss, Marjorie Main as the landlady and Gloria Holden as the widow of another pilot, Ted Pearson in a couple of scene's as Myrna Loy's first "boy friend."

Carlton Tunnel Opening Delayed By Heavy Snows Work of clearing the road on the east and, west, portals of the Carlton tunnel is progressing slowly and it will be several weeks before: traffic, will be able to pass thru the tunnel in either directon, says the Leadville HeraldDemocrat. Never in any previous year, said Harvey Copper, in charge of the tantel, has there been such heavy tall of snow.

On the eastern slope a tractor has cleared a path to within one-quarter of mile of the portal. On the western side a 14-ton tractor is clearing the last three miles of the road and encountering the greatest difficulties in doing so. Copper said he has photographed the huge machine while it crawled along on snow 20 feet above the road. This occurred in the Hell's Gate ares, where conditions are bad. High winds pile the SnOW in huge drifts immediately after sections of the road have been cleared and cause a delay which may result in the tunnel: being opened to trattle later than usual.
