V'- * Washing ; J Washington, May 24--Tempers are ; i|h the edge among' the political and Sbcial tlite of our citizenry. The class distinction questions have risen to plague the town. Sources of irritation may be found in the aftermath «f President Roosevelt's speech to the tetailers and the hubbub over guests' lists at social functions for the King and Queen Sf England. Experience has shown that no good comes from stirring class animosities in a democracy. Folks whose feelings have been unnecessarily ruffled have a tendency to harbor grievances not easily assuaged by the passing of time. The storm over social Washington has reached a stage where a smart politician having an inside track with the British embassy could put across big trades. Ordinarily it is patronage in the form of jobs for constituents which sways a legislator's vote at crucial times. Now that the social bug has bitten families and friends of lawmakers the harassed solons would probably conveniently forget political principles in exchange for the coveted engraved cardboard entitling them to i.v mi pLace restaurant Phone 377 JUSTIN & FREUND, ** CENTRAL GARAGE --One of the best equipped garages in Northern Illinois-- p Let us drain your winter oils and greases and prepare your car or truck for Spring driving.

The angling for these bids for permission to mingle briefly with the aristocracy is both pitiful and amusing. Social climbers among powerful constituents, who feel a Congressman can get anything coupled with fussing and spouting in his own household have made life miserable for the "people's choice." The publica tion of the guest list, which is now prohibited, would undoubtedly ruin many promising political careers. Mr. Roosevelt's sop to little business men and.a direct slap to big business enterprise is considered nothing short of a continuance of his grudge fight. Sage politicians believe that he has erred in following this policy, especially when the disposition at Capitol Hill is to bring about a reconciliation of government and business. The lawmakers are resentful that the Chief Executive has leaned his ear to his radical advisors to draw class lines. Testimony of industrial chieftains be fore the Temporary National Economic Commission revealed that .billions in idle funds existed solely because of hostile government policies. The talk about tax reduction which is counter to White House plans is based on the hope of having this money turned loose into "profitable employ ment. Democratic wheel-horses do not take kindly to business-bating.speeches of the party overlord. \ The implications of Mr. Roosevelt's diatribes of late is that business money is on strike. Observers, therefore, enjoyed a chuckle when the lat est monthly summary of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics recited an impartial account of conditions without a thought to political consideratins. This Federal agency stated "The failure of industrial activity to register the anticipated spring improvement frequently is attributed mainly to European developments." The government economists added "More careful analysis indicates, however, that the disappointing showing of industry this spring can hardly be attributed to the European situation. It can be traced largely to the effects of the coal strike and to the slowing down of steel production." Because Mr. Roosevelt is criticized for playing along with John L. Lewis in the coal strike, the solons wonder whether he read reports of this farm agency. The furore over purchase of Argentine, bctf for the Navy plus a blockade of the wage and hour act reviaions has forced the Administration to trade with the powerful farm lobbies. In a desperate effort to push amendments through the House, the House Labor Committee has receded from its original position so as* to pacify the farm vote. Many legislators convinced that adjournment is uncertain are polishing speeches for delivery Decoration Day. Campaign managers of those seeking high honors in the 1940 race are booking their orators with care because many Presidential booms have collapsed early by spe«cf»es in the wrong territory. Though hearings are held on the proposed" revision of the National Labor Relations Act, it is an easy bet that it will go over to next year as a campaign issue. , The tractor and the combine nave largely replaced the sweating sunbleAched farm hand in the wheat lands. The Works Progress Administration has just completed a study of technological improvements on man power and productivity on farms harvesting wheat and oats. Mechanical equipment has resulted in a saving of more than 400 million manhours of labor per year and greatly reduced the cost of marketing these grains. By utilizing this type of equipment the tendency has been toward a gradual consolidation of farm units into larger ones. In general, the medium sized farms decreased in number while farms of more than 500 acres increased. Prospects are that employment in small-grain production will be still further reduced in the future. ^The number of tractors on farms increased by two-thirds between 1930 and 1938, mostly between 1935 and 1938. It iis reported that farmers were in many instances forced to adopt machinery when farm labor remained on ^ relief rolls in preference to toiling in the fields.

VfMT MaHENBY ILLINOfli npRICK pictures J- of m made with the aid glass or mirrors are easy-- and these devices pennlt many unusual effects. Place an object on a table with glass top--shoot from underneath the table--and the object seemi to be floating in air, for the glass, of course, will be invisible. That is how the picture of the "castle in the clouds," shown above, was taken. A big piece of glass served as support--the castle is a toy one--the clouds are pieces of fluffy cotton. And a portrait attachment was used on the camera to permit shooting "close-up." Diagram 1 shows how things were arranged. You can use this same technique in shooting a picture of a pet--in picturing a ship model--showing a doll making a high dive--and in many other clever, striking snap- Diagram 1--Castle picture.

Mirrors are extremely useful lS( making trick snaps. For an amusing* shot, get a plain unmounted mirror, and place it level just under the camera lens as shown In Diagram 2. Take a picture of your house with this arrangement--and if the mirror is correctly adjusted as shown, your picture will show a lake in your front yard! The mirror cuts off. the lower half of the scene, and sulK stitutes an upside-down reflection, just as would appear in a smooth sheet of water! • Try these simple, amusing camera stunts.
