OUT OUR WAY BY WILLIAMS "Those who are governed least are governed best." "The power to tax is the power to destroy." Jefferson. Work Relief Held Up By Too Many Bosses Somewhere back in January, congress put through a bill for work-relief. This, was to be the final, triumphant, mopping-up drive of the great campaign against unemployment.

It was to take 3.500,000 men off the dole and restore them to honest jobs. It was to "prime the pump" once more with such expenditures for capital as would finally set our whole productive machine in motion again. That was just about seven months ago. Today, according to the most recent check-up, slightly less than 25,000 people have gone to work under this bill. The great public works that were to result are hardly past the blue-print stage.

The whole campaign has bogged down in a manner utterly dismaying to anyone who hopes to see the government work its way out of the expensive businss of direct relief. One the chief to be that (here are too many bosses. Harry Hopkins is Federal Relief Administrator. Secre- lary Ickes is Public Works Administrator. Frank C.

Wajker is a sort, of middle man, head of the Division of Applications and Information. It, is up to Mr. Hopkins to see to it that as many men as possible are given kind and every kind of work, so long as it is work. It is Mr. Ickes' job to st that the jobs undertaken are as useful, as substantial and as permanent as possible.

It is Mr. Walker's job to harmonize the inevitable conflicts between these viewpoints, and that is something that lakes a bit of doing; for the more successful Mr. Hopkins is Ihe less successful Mr. Ickes will have to be, and vice versa. As a result, the whole program sems to be in a state of considerable confusion.

At one moment'it looks as if Mr. Ickes' program for substantial and enduring public works will carry the day; a little later it appears that Mr. Hopkins will have his way and will put men at work raking leaves and rolling tennis courts; now and then it almost looks as if nothing would be done. What seems to be needed is a firm and definite decision from the White House. In some ways this work relief program is the most, important single undertaking of the whole administration.

Indecision and the conflict of varying plans should not be allowed to cripple it any longer. Favors At All Costs The evils that party politics can cause could hardly be Made more plain than by the recent dismissal of Dr. Amy Stannanl from the federal parole board. Miss Slannard is a psychiatrist. She has never been in politics; she was put on the parole board in as an expert, and her work has been eminently satisfactory.

She represents the kind of office holder the government ought to be glad to get and eager to keep. But a political row developed in the Virgin Islands. Ex- (iov. Paul M. Pearson and Federal Judge G.

Webber Wilson got into a scrap down there. Both had important friends at the capital. The row was settled by giving each one a different the job Judge Wilson got was on the federal parole board. So Dr. Stannard had to step down to make room for him.

Here we have an expert being dismissed from an important, supposedly non-political board to make room for a man whose politician-friends insist that he be "taken care of." It is a sample of partisan politics at its worst. MECDES 'TH'BULLO'TH' WOODS DOU'T THEM'S FINE!

Tiny Parasites May Wipe Out 'Widows' SAN JOSE. tiny parasite may lead to the extermination of the deadly Black Widow spider. L. R. Cody, Santa Clara county horticultural commissioner, has conducted successful experiments with a parasite of the chlo- ropidae family, which eats the egg sacs of the spider.

There has been some difficulty in raising the parasite in captivity, but Cody believes this problem near solution. Cody's experiments began when he learned that the Black Widows were growing in numbers in certain sections of the countv. The type of driver Illustrated here Is not uncommon, as he can bo seen "doing his stuff" most any time, and Especially upon a street or highway when a lot of traffic is in line. That this driver is a danger not only to himself and the occupants of his car but to every user of the highway is shown by the record of automobile accidents for last year. There were nearly 20,000 accidents caused by the "cutting-in" driver last year, and statistics of the Travelers Insurance Company, there were nearly 500 deaths and more than 22,000 persons injured in 1934 as a result of such a practice.

The optimistic driver believes In taking a chance, while the pessimist may have a sadder but surely a longer life. CHAPTER XVI JITICHAEL HEATHEROB went down Into the paddock.

Bat Michael paid no attention to be: gave Prince Charlie a lump of sugar, said a word or two to Tips, who was reading a week- old comic section, and was on nis way. Michael'without one of his steeds was like a kins without his kingdom. The little, shabby, rattling car was an incongruous vehicle for the tall, rangy young man with the western tan on his brow and checks. He climbed into it threw it into gear and began to slide down the incline away from the shabby farmhouse. This was twilight.

Not the Montana twilight Michael knew and loved, with its sudden drop from full day to dusk, its almost daz zling, crystaline coolness, but an eastern twilight, warm and heavy languid. The day had been extremely hot. Michael drove out of the lane and down the roac toward the village. On the porch of -he Merser house two small girte dressed U. sleeveless thin frocks were nav- ing their supper.

They both waved wildly to Michael as he passed, and he waved back. Sybil and Diana adored him already They had had three riding lessons. Nice kids. Good kids. Thei: mother was a nice woman, too with fine eyes.

If Michael could get a few more clients like them the club would bt on Its feet. He frowned. The mortgage on the place, the old Rogers' plact that he had bought so confidently last year, would fall due in September. The bank held the mortgage Innicock Trust National.

She was all gentleness and winning sweetness. Yet Michael hesitated. (To Be Continued).
