WASHINGTON DAYBOOK Senate aeenva to on the verge of rescuing "Gone With the Wind" from the Dutch and Japanese. Publishers in Holland and Japan have printing Margaret Mitchell's best seller for some months now without benefit of copyright protection, The result has been much fain to the Japanese and Dutch and much loss to Margaret Mitchell. All of this comes about through failure of the Senate to ratify a copyright treaty which has been dangling before it for a decade. Most of the other leading countries of the world have already ratified it, including Japan and Holland. This country, however, has become tangled in a dispute involving authors, motion-picture producers, songwriters and printers, each demanding some special protection either in the treaty or in legislation to accompany it The copyright treaty is worked out on an international cooperative basis.

Under its terms any American work copyrighted in the United States automatically enjoys full protection in all other countries that sign the treaty. That includes almost sll nations. In turn, any work copyrighted elsewhere wins automatic protection in the United States. Miss Mitchell seems to be the principal sufferer among American authors whose works are being pirated. She is suffering most from piracy of a Holland publisher.

But so far as is known Japan leads the world with mass piracy of about 50 American books. DAILY BIBLE THOUGHT Supplied by Prciis-Iladlo Blbla Service. Ino, Cincinnati.

Security iu the highest spirit of altruism and put into effect with the belief that it be a good vote getter, the Social Security program, allows for things that it should not and which bring it down to the level of a burlesque. In Oklahoma City a few days ago a child five years old was applicant for unemployment compensation under the Security Act, and made his mark as a signature, his mother signing as his guardian. She explained that the boy had been an actor in Hollywood since he eighteen months old and that he had reached "the $300 a week bracket in Hollywood." Insurance against unemployment is commendable when applied properly. Given to a man who has a family dependent on his labor or talents or education that enables him to do certain work, and who is discharged through no fault of his own, it is something that fits in with the present-day trend of thought toward humanity. But to say that a child who happens to fill the temporary need of a moving picture studio is unemployed after that studio has finished -with him is nonsense.

The mothsr said the child had been paying Social Security taxes in California since 1936. If the child paid, he was of course entitled to claim payment for unemployment periods. The criticism of the law is directable to it ever allowing a child to pay Social Security tax. It was never intended to cover such a case and if the law is to be continued as a law it should be changed to prevent recurrence of such foolish instances. For if with the increasing demand for old age assistance, babies are to be considered unemployed and paid for idleness, then indeed will the tnx burden of those who still labor be unbearable.

$100 For Miss Rawllngs Publishers in both countries have seized upon "Gone With the Wind" and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' novel, "The Yearling." Miss Mitchell has been law-suiting in Holland to establish her rights but the results, she said in a letter to the Senate foreign relations committee, are "discouraging." Miss Rawlings had no better success. She wrote to the Holland company pirating her novel and they expressed regret that the United States was not a treaty signer. They did send her $100 with the stipulation that it was not to set a precedent. Miss Mitchell didn't even get $100. Years ago, until the early 1890's, the United States was a leading literary pirate.

In those days there were more foreign works to be stolen than there were American works for piracy abroad. So American publishers pirated the works of foreign writers as fast as they came out unless the owners rushed through a special U. S. copyright which cost money and took time. The turn of the century brought a turn of the wheel.

American literary works increased in demand, and more especially did American motion note abroad. pictures and songs strike a We quit pirating on a large scale so we could put up a better case against foreign publishers who were grabbing American works. 'Adolescent Emotion 0 The Objections From time to time treaties have been -o it new developments. The present treaty was dral- ed in 1928 and has been dangling since, with other xnmtries protected under it, the U. S.

not. Several times the Senate has passed legislation van ted by U. S. songwriters, authors and film pro- lucers in return for their agreeing to certain not- o-pleasant povisions of the treaty. Each tune the egislation has bogged down in the House, and the treaty as a result, has been stuck in the Senate This year the Senate foreign relations cornrnU- ee reported out the treaty.

Senator Thomas of Utah about trying to get it without egislation necessary to pacify Printers continued to object to treaty provisions foreign publications to be shipped into the U. S. already printed. An old treaty provision imported works to be printed here. Pub- ifheis, motion picture companies and others also expressed fear that they might be asked to pay for past use of foreign works which they had pirated.

Meantime Holland and Japan have been reading Gone With the Wind" and "The Yearling" without a penny royalty. To Margaret and Marjorie it has been very discouraging.

W. NHVHAE FENCE PASTURES INSTEAD OF FIELDS Red River County Man Had Novel Plan For Farmers On the Wide Prairies That roving correspondent of Clarksville Standard, who told or Bennett Station in 1881, had some novel ideas on fencing which he believed would be to the advantage of the farmer. He said in a letter to the Standard: Becknell and Guest prairies are nearly all under fence. The cost of fencing is a heavy outlay to the farmer. It will probably average the amount of his State and County taxes.

If it were all counted up, the number of miles of fencing in these prairies would astonish the farmers and nine-tenths of it is unnecessary. The present manner of civilized life, as far as it regards fencing, is wrong. The cart is put before the horse of fencing the fields in, to protect cultivation against depredations of stock, you should fence the stock pastures and turn out the fields. You do not want public roads through the prairies, yew need only neighborhood roads. In these prairies few people are actually living, but the dwellings are at the edge of the timber with a good outside fence.

Now take away the Clarksville and Paris road out of the prairie and connect this outside fence all around and put In gates where necessary and the entire prairie is fenced against stock from the outside. You can then incorporate under the State laws, making your own laws to take effect inside your own lines, elect a constable to look after loose stock and see that the fence is kept in repair. You will then have rails to sell, 1 or better, take your rails and fence in pastures in your timber land, that have heretofore paid you nothing but been a dead expense, and go into the stock business on a small scale at first. Get rid of i scrub stock by crossing with thor- oughbred stock and sell no more cotton, if you can help it, at seven cents. A few good brood mares would not be bad thing to have; in fact, YOU cannot go amiss in this stock business on the can make money 'going it In this stock business you will need mc-adows and good You need that now, if you only knew what money would be in vour pockets, but with stock raising they arc a necessity.

The sooner vou farmers got into a paying business the better it will be for vou and your friends. Th you can do by farming and stock raising, the one will not Interfere w1th the other. Do not be afraid of glutting the market as that not likely to hr.ppon. until you are rich enough to retire from the business.

FOUR BLIND DATES By Edwin Rutt CHAPTER 32 i "Rubbish. Take 'em off!" The Honeyed Toturue The Chiseler had the grace to "I have not the advantage of blush. 1 NE of the prominent psychiatrists recently spoke over a radio chain on the subject ol how to manage with adolescent youth, the adolescent age, according to this speaker, being from twelve to eighteen years. He said that during these years youth is sometimes a prob- i lem (what our plain-spoken grandparents nsed to call a headstrong child) and it will take a careful father and mother to see that the youth is not petted or scolded into the wrong road of future life. He illustrated his argument with examples of replies given parents by boys and girls when they were asked about where and why they were out so late the light before.

The rebellion expressed in the replies could be, the good doctor says, avoided by the parent trying to understand the necessity of the rebellion and trying to find methods of the child asserting himself in a manner which will not be offensive to other people. It. is too bad that the present crop of mature adults did not have the psychological cure applied to them instead of the rod or the slipper. They might have been much greater in their fields of endeavor, better citizens and of more service to mankind. The doctor advises parents to "understand him.

(the child) and sympathize with him and finally not to worry about him too much," and he adds, "If the parents have given their 'children a normal home life up to the adolescent period and then see that those children have suitable physical and emotional outlets they can be quite sure that everything will work out all right." Docs the doctor consider having a car or the use of the family car when and as long as he or she wishes, attendance at dances and night clubs at frequent intervals, and similar demands of some adolescents, suitable emotional outlets and proper to use as preventing emotional outbreaks at home?

FISCHER Associated Press Staff If war came to this land, what would Texas women do? The question is prompted by preparations abroad where bomb shelters in the gardens overshadow rustic furniture. In England the Air Ministry has announced plans for an air force auxiliary composed of women to relieve the air force proper of all the lighter duties and thus relieve more manpower for combat. In Poland, where the women's legion was formed In 1920, a million women are preparing themselves to train the rest of the women for the efensc of the country. Mme.

An unusual name, but extremely euphonious, I may say so. My felicitations to VIr. Dipsang." Mrs. Dipsang blinked a little. She had long since cease to mourn the marine-minded Dipsang.

But, out of respect for his memory, it was her custom to shed a tear or LWO whenever his name was men- ioned. The Chiseler noted the blinks. "I trust," he said solicitously, 'that I have not inadvertently touched upon a delicate subject." "Oh, no," said Mrs. Dipsang, wiping her eyes with the end of a handkerchief. "It's just that Dip- sang got himself lost overboard off a ship."

Most of these leroines, because their exploits were not publicizec re unhonored and unsung except for general ref- rences to the pioneer woman's part in the develop Tient of the state. There was one woman, attached to the armed orces, who left her mark on the pages of Texas listory, however, but the record is fragmentary. She was known as "the Great Western." She wa wife of an orderly sergeant with the American 'orces in the 1840's. Writers refer to the sergeant merely as "the husband of the Great Western." There were children, too, on the march with them but how many and how old they were are details not available.

Chaplain Lewis Leonidas Allen of the Louisiana Volunteers, in his letters home while he was on the campaign in Texas, gave this picture of the Texas Amazon: "One reason why she is called 'the Great Western' is because of her height and size, being a remarkably large, well proportioned, strong woman, of strong nerves and great physical powers, capable of enduring great fatigue. Another reason is because of natural and moral courage, being very intrepid and reckless of danger and, at the same time possessed of all the finer qualities which characterize her sex." corrupt and The chaplain recalled one occasion, when the troops were on the march from Fort Jessup, to the Rio Grande, a flatboat sank in the river. "Great Western" saved not only her children, but several soldiers as well. At Fort Brown, while shells were whizzing back and forth over the Rio Grande, "Great Western" administered to the wounded In the midst of the cannonade. "A bullet passed through her bonnet another through her bread tray, while she was preparing some refreshments for the men" the chaplain reported.

In this attitude he remained for the space of two minutes. Mrs. Dipsang was deeply moved. "Very sad," he said gently.

"A most unfortunate occurrence. Tell me, Mrs. Dipsang, how long ago did take place?" A few details, he thought, might possibly come in handy. One never knew. "Nine years ago next Christmas," Mrs.

Dpisang told him. "H'm," said the Chiseler. "Hum! Most regrettable." Mrs. Dipsang did not reply immediately and the Chiseler considered the time ripe for withdrawal. "Well," he said, consulting his watch, "I am afraid that I shall have to take my departure.

I hope you will not consider of me if I say that it has been a long time since I have had so charming a conversation." But if he thought to divert Mrs. Dipsang with honeyed words, he had reckoned without his hostess. "You're not going," she said. "Oh, but I must," said the Chiseler. Mrs.

Dipsang shook her heaed. 'No, you're not going. If you attempt to, I shall scream." The Chiseler bowed to the inevitable. He passed through the door. But once over the threshold embarked upon a sidelong and somewhat circuitous course designed to present the front of himself only to the eyes of Mrs.

Dip- sang. Mrs. Dapsing noticed the fiank- Ing movement. "What are you mincing arounc for?" she asked sharply. he said.

"Take that chair," Mrs. Dipsang commanded, indicating an overstuffed article in a corner. Obediently the Chiseler backed toward it. Very IrreruUr "Good Heavens, man, what's the matter with you?" said Mrs. Dip sang.

"If you must know, Mrs. Dip sang," he said, somewhat austere ly, "I have been so unfortunate a to tear my trousers." "Oh! Torn your trousers, eh alive, why didn't yoi "Are you seriously suggesting, Madam," he said frigidly, "that I remove my trousers?" "Certainly. How else do you think 1 can mend them?" The Chiseler breathed easier, then went into a huddle with himself. This was all very irregular. But, undeniably, he was in a spot And, without question, it would facilitate matters once more to possess a satisfactory pair of pants.

"Come, come," urged Mrs. Dip- sang. "You can't go around with your pants lorn. You can take them off behind that screen over there." The Chiseler came to a decision. It was by far the better part of valor to humor this woman and get himself made presentable again in the process.

He arose and went behind the screen. Had he emerged from this shelter a moment later, he would have presented a colorful spectacle indeed to the eyes of Mrs. Dipsang. For he stood revealed in a pair of gala red-and-white underpants, a gay garment that would have been entirely in its element if permitted to flutter from a flagpole. But the Chiseler with due modesty, eschewed bursting upon the world in this festive peppermint- costume.

He passed his ailing rousers over the top of the screen Mrs. Dipsang. Mrs. Dipsang having rummaged a work-basket for needle and iread, sat down with the truosers her knee. "Now," she said comfortably, you may explain why you were sneaking around on that balcony." said Mrs.
