Snmdiy, July 14,1838 PLAOISKALXK rV/'. ^ CHICAGO CYCLISTB VlMT UsHKRlY ir *>'* Kf Two eyelists, a man and woman, clad in khaki blouses and shorts, ing heavy woolen soekiand •hoes, "ate their breakfast*on the curb in front of the Plaindealer office Tuesday morning at about 9:80. On being interviewed they stated that they were Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Benedict of Jackson Park, Chicago, and that they were on their way to Lake Superior by bicycle. They left Chicago Monday Morning •ad expect to reach their dwllwtlw in two weeks. They will make short '•tops in Lake Geneva and the Delia. Mr. and Mrs. Benedict are travailing on tourist bicycles of an Engiiah make, which have three gear* similar to those of our automobiles. These enable them to travel over rongh country roads and climb steep hUls without much physical effort on their part. They were quite?* proud to state that they had made sixty-five miles the first day. The strange looking bicycles were well equipped with accessories to make travelling easier and safer. Among those were speedometers, spotlights, and rear vision mirrors on the handlebars. They carry all their camping paraphernalia with them, which includes, tents, bedding and cooking utensils. lint to Cm PMtaga Stampa Postage stamps grow out of the noceaaity for issuing a receipt for money paid in advance for the carriage of letters. Sir Rowland Hill, aBritiah postal reformer, conductad lor some years an agitation for .cheap postage and uniform rates, and the postage stamp was one of his proposals. Great Britain became the first stamp-issuing country in 1840, when a number of Hill's suggestions were adopted. mgtoa Washington, July 13--Unemotional analysts are closely scanning reports RINGWOOD Three Cities, Similar Names ,There are three cities with similar Mrs. B.

On almost any farm, if you keep your eyes open, you will find enough snapshot material to keep the camera busy from early morning to late at night--and still ndt exhaust the supply. Farm animals offer scores of picture chances--woolly lambs in the sun, a hen fussing over her brood of chicks, cows being driven in for miTking, pigs at the trough (or their owner summoning them with a lusty shout), horses drinking, ducks waddling in a line about the yard or taking an afternoon "cruise" in the pond. (-.• Work scenes in the field make excellent pictures, and fresh-plowed land vntli long deep furrows is good for pattern snapshots. The orchard in bloom is a scene of beauty, and all | are details which make pictures. Get a snap of Grandfather whittling, mending a single-tree, or busy at a whirling grindstone. Picture shady fence corners, old-time zigzag fences of laid rails, the battered wooden bucket at the well and the worn saw-horse or chopping block in the woodlot. Look for snaps down by the shady spring-house and brook. And watch the special seasons--such as hog-killing tittie , later on--when there is some unusual activity to picture. Yes, there are plenty of farm snapshots--everything frotai a calf being fed from a bottle to corn-husking shots at harvest time and footprints in the snow in winter. You can point your camera in almost any direction, and find something. Try it, every chance you get, and watch your picture albums grow! John van Guilder.

I summer. | cause of political considerations. The * i j politicians would like to see the treaty postponed until the elections to prevent a hasty revival of tariff controversies. While tariffs do not figure as prominently in campaigns as in other years, there are large segments of the population affected by trade agreements which are essentially the lowering of i tariff walls. I Widespread interest has been dis- I played in the 300 page document enj titled "The Problems of A Changing Population" just released by the National Resources Committee. The fact' that five Cabinet members signed the recommendations indicates the Importance of the report as a background for policy-making in Federal circles.' | Some conclusions have provoked con-^ troversy among economists, social! workers and other planners having to do with the conservation of human resources. The problem, as outlined in the official study, "must be faced with-] in the next generation." President; Roosevelt was informed, "It cannot be ( too strongly emphasized, however,j that this report deals not merely with ' problems regarding the quantity, quality, and distribution of population, infr-i portent as they are, but also with the-jl widening of opportunities for the individuals making up this population, no matter how many or where they are." ° Smaller cities and towns "seeking industrial growth will ftnd cheer in the* recommendation "direct or indirect subsdies for the developmet of new in dustries in the areas of retarded economic development would appear to be justified onl^ insofar as there are reasonable prospects of sound, independent development." In addition the President is notified that "emphasis may also be placed in matters relating to the development of power, transportation, communication, and housing on the facilitation of residence outside the central areas of large cities, where such encouragement is supported by a realistic analysis of economic and social opportunity." Hqw far the government will go towards increasing opportunities for employment in non-metropolitan communities cannot be determined until the* White House submits its legislative program next winter. Government economists are flatly predicting a sharp climb in business activity beginning in the late summer or early fall. The enormous ,expenditure for pump-priming is bound to exercise a stimulating effect, but doubts are felt as to a corresponding and sustained boom from private enterprises. Investors are worried about government policies aimed at industry and commerce which checks the markets for capital. Typical of the harassing . ^ tactics of Federal agencies is the final report of the Federal Trade Commission in the agricultural implement and machine inquiry. The commission admitted this week that no laws had been violated and then turned around with the proposal to have the Clayton Act amended so trade practices and corporation finance methods of farm equipment firms could be restricted hy the government.
