That is the earning of money by hard effort and legitimate enterprise and saving part of it.

This was merely one of the shows being staged in Washington to convince tho gears in the governmental machinery that the situation in Europe is critical.

On The Calendar The administration was badly upset by the failure to get the Senate to act on the repeal of the arms embargo. Such figures as Borah of Idaho ond Johnson of Idaho, who had a hand in stymying the repealer, think there is more administration yammering about the danger of war and American involvement than the situation deserves. But the comments 6f these two are frail voices by comparison with the babel of sound on the other side of the issue. Into that situation the Davies display fits. The administration has given up plans to push the Dili this session, but immediately after the dramatic reversal at the midnight White House conference a quiet effort was started to get the bill nominally on the Senate calendar, even under a pledge not to bring it up for debate.

The idea is that putting the bill on the calendar will improve the government's position technically in event war should come. Administration leaders are convinced that if war breaks out there be an immediate public clamor for a repeal of the embargo which shuts off munitions shipments to England and France. What Is Neutrality For the government to make such a change of front as to repeal an embargo during the actual progress of war might be considered a frightfully urneutral act justifying a protest from Germany or Italy, the countries most likely to be hurt in such circumstances. On the other hand, administration figures assert that merely to have the embargo repeal bill reported out of committee and put on the calendar would place the government in a better position. Repeal then would not be such an abrupt change.

To get the bill out of the foreign relations com- KJ would require a change of one vote to reverse 12 to 11 vote by which it was temporarily The cold facts remain that not more tnan a double handful of people here believe that this government can or will remain neutral in event or a war with England and France on one side and Germany and Italy on the other. But the definition of neutrality adopted by this administration or any other administration never will suit everybody.

NEVILLE WHEN DETROIT WAS BENNETT STATION Word Picture Of Business Fifty-eight Years Ago lu Clarksville Standard Detroit, Texas, 5B years ago was a growing town.

It was then called Bennett Station, the Texas and Pacific Railroad having reached it five years before and established a depot. A correspondent of Clarksville Standard, traveling through the country, wrote from Bennett Station, February 15, 1881, and said: Bennett is a lively little place just now. There is a large force of men here who are engaged in getting out ties for the Texas and Pacific Railroad. The motto of the landowners around Bennett is not "Woodman, spare that tree" but is "Woodman, how much is that tree worth?" And from dewey morn to silent night the sound of the ax may be heard and the crash of the monarchs of the forest as they fall before the tireless energy of the tie maters. It the wholesale cutting of trees goes on here six months there will not be left a.

FOUR BLIND DATES By Edwin Rutt By HAKRELL E.

LEE Associated Press Staff Any thought that Gov. O'Daniel might seek to unseat United States Senator Tom Connally in the Democratic primaries one year hence has been virtually crushed by O'Daniel himself. The Governor praised Texas' junior Senator in a recent Sunday broadcast. He doubtless would have omitted such laudation, it is thought, if contemplating a race against the Mnrlin man next year. that fact, so the County Attorney.

They darkness. Having per stories of were in total noted this salubrious fact, the Chiseler glided across the lawn and fumbled along the side of the house until he found a rainspout. Peering aloft, he perceived that this rainspout, on its gay journey to the roof, ran close to an iron balcony some fifteen or twenty feet off the ground. "Okicdoke," muttered tho Chiseler, who occasionally permitted himself the luxury of lapsing into the vernacular. In his youth Mr.

Jennings had been no mean porch-climber. And i bird of ill-omen. i The present set-up of the cards indicated nothing exciting. Mrs. Dipsang sighed, gathered up the pack and tried again.

And this time it was apparent from the first that something big was about to happen. Propitious card after propitious card filed from the deck and fell in the proper juxtaposition with one another. Cards indicative of health, wealth and happiness practically twined together. The eyes of Mrs. Dipsang bulged and the Dipsang knees trembled.

Never before had she had such a fortune. Great events, all of a favorable nature, were ganging up with a view to transpiring in the near future. The stars wore whirl- The O'Daniel vs Connally speculation always has been considerably discounted. State officials including Governors, Lieutenant Governors ant Attorney's General, nearly always run for re-elec- ton to second terms instead of for another office. A state officeholder usually seeks other pastures under one of two conditions, namely, he has completed two termi in his present post, or has a four or six-year term and can run for a different office without losing his current job.

O'Daniel never has said he vyould ask a second term. His public utterances have given the Impression, however, that such is his present intention. His statements that the old age pension financing problem cannot be solved satisfactorily until the regular session in 1941 and in effect that some of the legislators opposed to his program should be defeated, would seem to indicate he hopes to be here in 1941 to help obtain enactment of his proposals.

The world v.as shaking and jittering, just prior to Rejection by the Legislature of the transactions tax and sales-natural resource tax constitutional amendments, which hc advocated, should provide a live campaign issue.

O'Daniel can say the old age pension still is far from satisfactory and the only way to correct it is to let the people speak on new taxes which would raise many millions of dollars additional revenue. If the Legislature and people had approved one of the O'Daniel proposals, that issue perhaps would have been eliminated. Tho Governor then could have pointed to achievements of his first term on what he considers the state's No. 1 problem. It is too early to forecast the exact form of issues of the 1940'gubernatorial campaign.

The pension picture may change considerably in the next three months. thit would be a good thing and people to ready to -upport the -move- when it rwilly started. the ju eon- Some O'Daniel critics claimed to find inconsistency in the. talk in which the Governor endorsed the" Connally old age pension amendmen' to the Federal Social Security bill. Through most of his speerh, they said, he extolled the "pay as you go plan" for government.

At another point he advocated the Connally plnn. which would substantially boost Federal expenditures for pensions notwithstanding lhat the National Government is going deeper into debt each year. Actions of the Governor the previous week had brought another charge of inconsistency. One day he the general tax remission bill, which with special remissions authorized this spring is expected to deprive the state's general fund of $5,000,000 a year beginning with fiscal year, 1040-41. The next day he vetoed more than $4,000,000 out of appropriations for the next biennium, giving as one -eason the poor condition the general fund.

Friends of O'Daniel replied that the charge of inconsistency wns without merit. The tax remissions, they said, should result in a corresponding decrease in local tax rates and, therefore, would not boost over-all governmental spending. In view of the numerous special remissions fair play dic- that remissions be extended to all the state's counties, they Argued. lar in certain respects to those of swimming and bicycle riding.

but the rudiments remain. In short, once a porch- climber always a porch-climber. Mindful of the crying need for absolute quiet, the Chiseler removed his shnes and secured them in his belt. Then the went up tho rainspout nimbly. He gained the balcony without mishap and climbed cautiously over the rail.

But. all of a sudden he paused. A light had been switched on in one of the rooms that gave on the. bslcony. Drawing back into a darkened corner, the Chiseler took counsel with himself.

He speedily came to the conclusion that it would be 1he height of folly to bo stampeded by this slight untoward occurrence. Doubtless the light hud been snapped on by a maid who was turning down a bed or something. She'd probably be gone in a minute. Hc resigned himself lo wait. Five minutes passed.

Ten. Fifteen. And durinjr them there came at intervals to the Chiseler'? ears small slithering sounds as of birds fluttering their winps. The sounds issued from the open window of the lighted room and the Chiller was at a loss to account for them. He began to fidget.

Valuable time wns passing. He permitted another two minutes to go by. Then he cnme to the conclusion that the maid, having turned down the bed. hnd left an3 neglected to switch' off the light. He stole forward stealthily and looked in the window.

At a table sat a portly woman playing what appeared to be solitaire. And the sounds he had heard were made bv the cards as she shuffled and riff- to his kinfolk. flinging itself at Mrs. Dipsnng's fecft. With nervous fingers she flipped over the next card.

And a little cry left her throat. The card was the king of hearts. Brimming Cup Mrs. Dipsang's cup was complete. The king of hearts, turning up with other cards of salutary significance, could mean but one thing.

A large light man of regal bearing was about to come into her life. And, in addition to entering her life, this large light man was predestined to remain in it. doubtless replacing the nautical Dipsang who had so carelessly gone to Davy Jones off Hatteras. Yes Destiny was arranged on the side of Mrs. Dipsang.

And Mrs. Dipsang, heart a-fluttcr. sat back gasping, the happiest woman on Long Island. It was at this momentous instant in the world's history that Chisel- er Jennings essayed to vacate the balcony. The Chiseler had come to a conclusion.

So far as he could see, the fat woman within the room had settled down for an all-night session It was a touch of bad luck, but no matter. He was a man of resource. He would simply go quietly down the rainspout and try in another quarter. As the Chiseler turned to depart the head of rusty nail, protruding from the side of the house, came in contact with his neat dark gray trousers. And as his right leg shot forward, there was a ripping rending tearing sound.

The next instant the night breeze was riffling the Chiseler's underpants through a gap that bull terrier would have been proud to exhibit The Chiseler, abruptly, cessed to dance. As a matter of fact, he had been dancing only temporarily, while making up his mind as tp how to proceed next And in an instant his stupendous intellect was swarming to his aid. This card-playing woman looked like a simple soul. He would, therefore, hold her in play with the heavy artillery of his vocabulary until some cock-and-bull story occurred to him. "Sssh!" he whispered, by way of kicking off.

"There Is for hysteria, my good He might well have omitted reference to hysteria. Mrs. Dip- sang had no intention of indulging a fit of nerves. "Come here," she ordered peremptorily. Belter Balconies The Chiseler hesitated.

He had a congenital objection to allowing his particular cast of countenance to be observed while on balconies attached to the better homes of Lonp Island. Mrs. Dipsang, however, was not altogether a fool. "Come here," she commanded again, little stridently. "If you don't.

I'll scream." The Chiseler waved his hands in front of his face in an agitated attempt to divert the threatening larynx of Mrs. Dipsang. "Madam," he said, striving for composure, "in the delightful conversation that will presently ensue, I must beg of you to modulate your voice. I can explain everything to your entire satisfaction." "Then come here," said Mrs. Dipsang.

Then she had slipped up to her room, intent upon a quiet cup of tea. Before ringing for it, however, she had sat down to fell her fortune a few times.

"Strike me pink," quoth the Chiseler, in a hoarse and sibilant whisper. Startled Mrs. Dipsang leapt to her feel and rushed to the window.

She was in no sense of the word, terrified. On the contrary, her condition was one of happy excitement. The cards h'ad indicated a large gentleman of kingly presence just around the corner The Chiseler carnn, a little in deference to his sick trousers. In the illumination that poured from the window, Mrs. Dipsang subjected him to a critical Inspection.

Nor was she ill-pleased by what she saw. Here stood a tall ascetic-looking gentleman of dignified bearing. His complexion was definitely on the light side. And, as if to clinch this fact. He sported a pair of sand-colored must.ichlos that would have brought tears to the eyes of a bull walrus.

Mrs. Dipsang's mood changed from one of faint susolcion to that of extreme affability. "Come in," she said courteously, suddenly throwing open a door which gave on the balcony. The Chiseler had susoected the presence of this door. But he had not seen it since it was near the opposite end of the balcony.
