When neighbors are friendly together they understand one another. .Much of the confusion and difficulty today Is due to misunderstanding.

The W writer remarks--aside--that if the telephone could have been used instead of communicating with foreign lowers by means of written messages. > the last war would not have occurred. This answer to the question suggests one way out of our social and economic ills. Our difficulty today Is that we lack confidence. We are not willing to trust one another.

CjABBY QERTIE : THE JUNGLE AtARM Qnce again the lokali drums were throbbing through the jungle, but liow their voice was couched in no tone of exultation. Alarm was the keynote of their i strange, weird Cfcythm. | • "Sandi is not dead. The law is beck on the River." Thus spoke the drum*, and much more they had to tell--startling news that reached the ears of King Mafolaba as he sat in conference with certain of his chief advisors. "Sandi--Is not dead! The law--is hack--on the River! Sandi--and his soldiers--with the warriors of the Orchori--have smashed the army of Mafolaba!" Dismay seized the Old King as lie learned of the annihilation of . He summoned three or four of his underlings who were squatting near by. "Go get me the bait that wilf bring the leopard into my trap." he ordered harshly "Go get me the woman Lilongo!*' i •'{ >, In Mafotaba's Power' " Peace had been restored to the River again. Chastened and humbled by Sandi's Hausas and their Ochori allies, the tribes of the jungle had learned a lesson whiqh they were not likely to forget in a hurry. •' .' • A momentous palaver waa held oh, board the Zaire. It was attended by all the chiefs *>f the River excepting the Old King, with whom Sanders intended to deal in the spring. And for the benefit of the assembled penitents, the Com mill* sioner delivered a lecture that fairly burned their ears. Late that afternoon, Bosambo and his followers beached their canoes in front of their vill&ge and marched towards the huts. But if they expected a clamorous welcome frtgm the families whom they had leift behind them, they were sorely disappointed, for the shadow of gloom was heavy on the kraal, and the women and the children and the old men sat in silent groups.

"rtien he turned an ugly glance towards the hut which had been placed at the disposal of Farini and Smith." ' * Farini "was loitering in the entrance of the dwelling, and Mafolaba beckoned him viciously. As the white man approached, the Old King barked a question at him. . "Do you hear what the drums ajfe saying?" he bit out. Farini spread forth hi* hands in * deprecating gesture. . "How can I tell what they're saying?" he rejoined. "Sandi is not deadl". Mafolaba snarled. "Sandi is ba^fc on the River. Sandi has <wlped out my army!" Farini Had turned pale. He saw the Old King rising up before him with wrathful countenance, and with a quick gesture he made a grab for his revolver, only to be seized by half a dozen of the negro monarch's retainers before he could draw it--only to be struck down by dagger and club. From the hut Smith had witnessed the fate of hi* accomplice, and with a gun in his Ast he made a dash for the river bank near-by. A native tried to stop hinif but went down with a shriek as the renegade's revolver belched death A moment later the white man was blundering into a canoe. ~ "He snatched _up a paddle_and . thrust the craft through the water Behind him there was a furious Uproar, and numbers of M&fol&ba's people were running towards the jrtver's edge, armed with spears and i bows J ^A shower of arrows sped towards the panic-stricken- fugitive, and two (of the shafts pierced him through the back.

"Every body remember that.", "We shall remember. Lord," one ©T fits councillors rejoined. "But Sandi will not dare to come through the mountain# with soldiers until after the rains."^ That is true," 'the Old King mused. "Listen, this delay will give ihe time" to trap a leopard known as Bosambo. How would you trap men, told how they had slain the few guards left at the village and how they had carried off Lilongo. Lilongo Kidnapped As he listened to the grim story, Bosambo's face was that of a man stricken by grief and rage. Then all at once he wheeled and strode into his hut, where he wrote a note for Lord Sandi. This he gave to Malibu.^ "Go," he commanded, "and take my little sons with you. Sandi will care for them. Tell him I have left for the country of the old king." Malibu gave him a look of fear. "But lord," he said, "an army could not pass the mountains at this season!" "An army, nd--but one man, yes," Bosambo answered slowly. "That] why I gc alone." That evening he was following! the jungle trails that led to tha' mountains, his spear grasped in ona hand and his shield in the other; and before a new day had dawneil ' ?h a leopard?"

Legislative measures, vital to the political future of their sponsors, are being dragged from committee pigeon-holes in an effort to breathe enough oxygen to secure their passage by the Senate find House. History shows that in the mad rtish of the last days many important measures are lost in the shuffle. Committees, which for one reason or another, have bottled up many 9f these proposals, are now subjected to pressure from the particular lawmakers or groups interested in their enactment. As the time grows shorfer, compromises which were rejected are now gladly accepted in an effort to expedite the consideration of controversial measures. One of the favont* sports of the day is guessing as to the exact day of the Congressional adjournment. The best opinion has doped out the adjournment between August 15 and 24. The extent of the current warfare against the Administration tax program is the real uncertain feature. A brief survey of the political and legislative fonts reveals a jittery condition. Promised a short and probably uneventful session beginning next January, Congress is inclined to get e ig chores done before adjoumment. The idea is to give assurances to the lawmakers that they will have plenty of time to campaign for reelection next year. Veteran solons are not deceived by the rosy promises, lor these war-horses know full well that a five-months vacation among the home folks- may upset the bent laid plans of political leaders. Unab! e to read a portion of letters from their districts, the legislators will be obliged to listen while building their fences for the coming campaign. A wise Senator or Representative follows the winds in his owii bailiwick more than the orders of his party chieftains^*,. . The public reaction to a proposal restricting the power of the Supreme Court as retaliation for declaring the NRA unconstitutional has effectively 8"??"tracked a national referendum on the issue. The New Deal is, however, trying out the machinery for another amendment to the Constitution, which would wipe out exemptions now given to Federal, State and* municipal s^ecurities and make^these items subject to taxation. An amendment of this sort has a popular aspect as the average citizen is not interested as an investor. The question of financing local projects requiring cities and counties to issue bonds figures prominently. The tax exempt feature is always an" inducement to buy and witnout this marked advantage, these securities may find real competition from bond issues. Searching around for ideas which will give employment to millions of men and women is not as easy as it appears to the layman. The President has nearly five billion dollars to spend on work relief projects. In order to insure the utmost care in the allotments, an application, submitted by a municipality or state, must go through many critical hands before it is approved. Already rumblings against the requirement of taking employees for these projects off relief rolls rather than on a selective basis are heard in official circles. These complaints are particularly Joud among the Federal agencies requiring a high typ« of technical skill when the same is not usually available from the relief rolls., /0%V.:V.V."" V "• " ' For insta.B»e; several Federal projects which require skiiled engineers are being held up b«caus« the administrators belive it a waste of time and money to employ unskilled laborers now on relief. The untrained worker fits into certain activities, but preliminary surveys are out of his line. Business men who ordinarily would not object to visits of competent tax officials are protesting invasion of un* skilled investigators into their private affairs. The Treasury Department has instituted a delinquent tax survey in the twenty largest metropolitan areas. The possibility that the Federal old age pension bill, an unemployment insurance measure, will soon become law creates some concern as to it* ultimate effect upon relief rolls. All; governments since the days of Queen Elizabeth have been puzzled as tp ways and means to stop voluntary* pauperism. The fear is felt that many individuals, driven from state and Federal relief rolls under the edict of work or starve", will attempt t<* chisel" on their elderly relatives who are beneficiaries of old age pensions. For centuries, it has been proven that the drone was usually better lodged and fed than the worker, a condition which is causing Federal relief administrators no end of trouble. Some local officials seeking to put a stop to lucrative loafing at the taxpayers expense are adopting drastic methods while others are utilizing psychological means of persuading the unemployed as to the dignity of labor and selfsupport as against pauperism. A survey of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration of rural -wbrkers showed that of the employed heads of rural households on relief, 29 percent had shifted from the occupations they had usually followed before the depression, and most of these men had gone one- or more steps downward on the occupational ladder. Men who usually had owned farms now were renting them or working on other "men's farms as laborers. Some were performing unskilled work in non-agriculturai industries. Farmhands and skilled artisans had left their usual occupations more often than had unskilled laborers, who naturally tended to stay at the bottom of the ladder. Farmers were least inclined of all workers to change to other occupations. Relief administrative officers called upon to assign men and women to new Federal projects would like authority to make tests in order to weed out the uiifited. However, pol» itics enters the picture and this practical policy will probably never be adopted. - Pin* Official Stat* Tree , Georgia adopted the pine as its official state tree, and the brown thrash- > er Its state bird* Many Accidents Are caused by faulty brakes on carg which have been Tun too fat without having them looked over.
