Heedless Makers an ordinance against loud speakers being used on the streets, and it is enforced, as it should be. But there to be no way of curbing other noises, most of which are unnecessary and always an- rioying, sometimes harmful. Two of the hospitals in Paris are on main highways, properly so, for quick and easy access in case of sudden need. Near these hospitals are signs indicating the use of the buildings and designating a Quiet Zone" within a reasonable distance. Do- motorists heed these signs 1 Not one in a hundred, probably.

Some, in fact, seem to delight in sounding their horns with greater volume and more frequency within or near these zones than anywhere else. The necssary traffic makes noise, to be sure, and that cannot be stopped, but the unnecessary noise maker might be shown the error of his ways. Suggestion lias been made that perhaps larger signs might answer the need. They would not. The motor driver who has ho regard for the sensibilities of others when making noise would pay no attention to signs.

in at, least some small measure- WASHINGTON DAYBOOK By PRESTON GROVER may surprise people to iear-h that New textile mill owners are working all the Government avenues they know to have the pay of southern mill workers increased. Correspondingly, southern textile mill operators would be glad to have New England textile wages increased.substantially. It all settles back to competition between these two sections for supremacy in textile manufacture. What hurts one seems to help the other, and that is why each section is so to have wages costly in the territory of the other. Here is a cat's eye view of the situation.

The wage-hour act already has pushed minimum wages up in all sections to the 25 cents an hour minimum. New England favored that, for wages in the textile industry there had been generally above that for a long time. Because of those high wages, much of the milling industry has shifted down South where the labor supply was plentitful and where 25 cents an hour or less was a frequent textile wage. JPULLS MILLS SOUTH For 20 years or more the South has been draining away the New England textile mills, a logical enough development since it brings manufacture closer to the cotton, fields. However, you can't blame New England for wanting to keep an industry that has been the strength and life of that section for a century or more.

Within 20 years 230 mills have closed down Massachusetts and Rhode Island Island alone. S-me of them just closed and that was an end of it. Owners of others carted the machinery down South or liquidated it and took the money down. Altogether it took 80,000 jobs out of those two states alone. The jobs went South but the New England workers who held them didn't.

The net result was thousands of millers on relief. Fall River, Massachusetts, lost 22,000 jobs that way and New Bedford a like number, while from the Pawtucket-Blackstone Valley in Rhode Island more thousands of jobs were lost. It is all very natural from an economic standpoint. Other factors being approximately equal, industry will tend to move into are as where labor- costs are low. Stockholders who could not make any money on closed or could be made.

A good number of mills remained in New England where skilled labor could make fine cloth better than the untrained labor of the South. It was the coarse cloth mills that moved. But as experience increased in the South, more and more mills naturally would go there unless something happened. The something was the wage-hour legislation. The cct meant a wage boost to 25 cents an hour lor thousands of southern textile workers.

It made competition easier for New England. Now the pressure is for even more of it. New England asked th'e wage hour administration to push the minimum pay up to cents an hour. That will affect 175,000 textile workers altogether, including cotton, wool and rayon. Of these, 125,000 are cotton textile workers.

And of this 125,000, all but a trifling 5,000 are in southern mills. Under the wage-hour act, minimum wages will automatically go up to 30 cents Oct. 24 anyway. New England wants it up to 32 cents and wants it that way now, before she loses any. more mills or any more business.

their New England mills either carted them south where money The Thrill That Comae In A Lifetime History Repeats OMER PRICE tells in his "Heart On The Streets" column in Marshall News-Messenger a friend who said hp had been out nf town three weeks and when he. returned and would meet a friend nnd offer to shake hands -with him that friend would look surprised.

It would probably be a long time, except as to members of a. man's family, near relatives and close friends, ivho had been in daily association with him.

This man's experience has been and is beinpr duplicated all over the world every day and it will continue to the end of time. Men thought, essential, even by others than themselves, to some enterprise or project, pass away and the world turns just as regularly as before, and in most cases the enterprise or project goes on to a successful conclusion, if it be one worth while. That, is a wise provision of Nature. Should the management- of business, or of State or a Nation, depend on the life of one man, there woxild be constant turmoil and confusion, far in excess of what, we now experience in such affars. For death is no respecter of persons, and comes to the king as well as to the peasant.

Death has control over the individual only, however, and has no power to tihue business or government by taking the of an enterprise a State or Nation. Acknowledgement of this immutable condition would serve to temper the words and actions of those men in public affairs who by their words and actions, give reason for the to believe they consider themselves in- dispenuable to the welfare of a State or Nation; that unless they are looked on as wiviom everything will go to pot.

Col. James A. Farley seems to be in a dilemma whether to go with the Kopkins-Ickes-Murphy new deal combination or just play a lone hand. Sunny Jim doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic about the third term as the other members of the cabinet.

Here is a new idea of culture clipped from an exchange: "A cultured woman is one who by the mere shrug of her shoulders can adjust her shoulder straps." It's very strange how children so cle'ver in babyhood grow up to be just ordinary dumb cattle like the rest of us. I am inclined to think many of these smart saying? reported by mothers are well, reported by mothers. A lawyer tells of an old Negro who came to him to get advice about selling a piece of properly in which his 16-year-old daughter had an interest. He was told it would be necessary to get his daughter's disabilities removed. The old man pondered a full five minutes and as the lawyer's stenographer was present, he approached the lawyer snd whispered: "Dal won't scandalize her in any way, will it I sometimes wonder if economy in government is sound as no government has ever tried it that I ever heard of.

Col. Jim Farley told a local citizen in 1030 that you "couldn't beat two billion dollars." That was the amount the government was to spend this year. Now the President i.s asking Congress to raise that amount to three billion for the year 1040 the next presidential election year. Jim was right in his prognostication in 1D36 and three billion will likely do the trick next year, even if the third term comes into fruition. A housewife compalins she furnished two orioles material for building them nest.

They took the material and built in a neighbor's yard while she is sure she had much more suitable places for an oriole's home, but I can't see what she can do about it. Governor O'Daniel, after trying to consign recalcitrant members of the Legislature Jo oblivion, must feel sorter like the farmer that undertakes the destruction of the boll weevils. A writer who evidently hasn't been reading or hearing 'Mr. Roosevelt's radio "fireside chats," says: "No future is bright that lies in the shadow of a mortgage." If he had been listening he would have learned that debt is blessing and that the interest we pay "makes the whepls go round," Our children cnn. live off the interest.

N6 use to worry about them. And the President also says: "Twenty-five per cent of the people pay no taxes." He should have said they think they pay no taxes. "Another great trouble," says a man from the western part of the country, "is that the 'man with the hoe' listens too much to the man with the hokum." A fellow who made a trip through Arkansas reports having seen this sign on country store: "No Goods Sold on Sunday and Darned Few on Week Days." An exchange has this to say: "Maybe we haven't been there the right Sunday, but it's a long time since we've heard a minister ask God's blessings on our government or invoke divine guidance upon its President and we are old-fashioned enough to think that would be better and more ef- than cussing them."

W. NKVIIXE COTTON TRANSACTIONS 80 YEARS AGO i Matthew Watson At Pecan Point Grew Much Cotton And Yankees Took A Lot Matt Watson, living at Oklahoma, has shown me some documents relating to transactions in cotton that were made by his grandfather, Matthew Watson, owner of a plantation at Pecan Point, Texas, preceding the war between the sections. In connection with the documents he says: "Alter the war ended the Yankees confiscated all the cotton that could be found in the country. Some of it was released to the owners, especially those who were non-corhbatarits, upon the owners giving bond for payment of the two cents per pound tax after the cotton was sold, a tax that was levied by the Federal government after the war. ''Lots of people lost their cot- Ion which was sold and the money turned in to the United States Treasury.

Cotton was selling around 60 cents a 'pound. I received cash for my pro rate share of one lot of 'Pecan (W) Point' cotton, which was thus sold. The pnyment came since I have lived in Valliant. "When the Yan.ke.es took cotton from Pecan Point the faithful old Watson Negroes wanted to recapture it but Grandmother Watson (nee Allibone. whose sisters married Thomas Washington and Lord Power), would not allow them to make the attempt.

The old Darkies pleaded with her to let them waylny the Yankees ns they came around the Point and kill the Yankees and take 'Usses cotton back." One of the documents a receipt for payment of this two cents tax. Dated at Jefferson, Texas, June 5, 1866, it says: Received from Matthew Watson two certificates for cancellation of bond given for tax on the following described marked Pecan Point 10), 429 pounds; 03 bales, marked the same, 38,781 pounds, total 49,210 pounds, tnx at 2 cents $984.20.

It is a report of the sale and dated April 21, 1857, reads: "Sale of 249 bales cotton by MacGregor, received per Steamer Hope, March 10, 1857, for account of JS1. Watson." The inventory says the cotton was sold to G. W. Oliver it and Hsts weights, individually, of 'the strict middling to good middling, 85 middling and middling, 31 barely knv middling, 82 good ordinary.
