They must either be- come objects of charity in most cases or must be aided by the government.

Mr. D; has been a friend of Sinclair. s having spec- ulated in Sinclaiy etocks during his Cabinet term. In his public state- ments he has implied that the oil lease charges and the charges agai himself are alike inspired by politi- cal enmity, Accordingly it is to his interest to see the oil investigation defeated. His subordinate, the district attor- ney at Washington, is thus placed | in a dilemma, As a public servant, he should prosecute Sinclair to the utmost.

Some complaints have been registered dgainst the methods of training used by the Veterans Bureau, and the choice of occupation for many of the trainees. Knowing what we do of the mess made of the Veterans Bureau by C. R.

Opportunity is occasionally blown in by the winds, but not often. Usually opportunity has to be CREATED. In other words, success generally is up to the individual himself rather than his surroundings. * “MAPLE Troubles come so fast they tread on each other’s heels in these hecti¢ times!.
