As distinctions go, that record is mild enough. It earned the lady a scant half dozen lines in the news- papers, and the most diligent local correspondent could hardly have de- voted more than half a column to it. Yet there is something about it that makes you stop and think. It paints a picture, to begin with; ® picture instantly recognizable by! ‘anyone who has lived in a small town. : ‘Who hasn't seen these devoted, hard-working little old ladies of the! village church—women whose entire orbit spans hardly more than a doz- en miles of space, whose interests \center about the home and the } church? ‘Their, lives are busy but uneventful. They find their oniy freedom in service. What innumer- able little village affairs, from church socials to school picnics, have they not, by devotion and hard work, made succeed? But to stick to one job, any Job, for 60 years in a row is to do vastly better than most of us can ever do; and in the unwritten history of such -@ woman there is # profound and tn- spiring tale of fidelity and unseli- ishness that we could study with a great deal of profit. Fright in India ‘The real seriousness of the situa- tion in India became a good deal ‘clearer when it was announced that the British government sentenced a nine-year-old boy to four years in prison because he stood outside a Bombay store and urged shoppers to buy only Indian goods. A government that makes such Savage war on children is, quite ob- viously, inspired by fear, which 15 nearly always back of cruelty and repression. If England's proconsuls in India are sending nine-year-olds te prison, the proconsuls must be more badly scared than they have ever publicly admitted. And, by the same token, if chil- dren are courting such sentences— this particular youngster proudly told the court he was “willing to die for Gandhi’—the movement for in- dependence in India must go clear down to the grass roots. The infer- ence is that the desire for freedom is not confined to a small circle: of ‘agitators, as some people would like to have us believe. A At the end of 1931, the National { } | Safety Council said that it had be- ©ome increasingly evident that th> traffic toll would reach an all-time Fxecord of 35,000 fatalities for the year. Here is a record that none of us ‘want. It was within our power to it it last year, exactly as it to Intelligence thy toward a problem that men- aces the lives of us ail. We heve entered a new year—a year of many problems. And we should remember that one of the most important of these is to do our bit to promote the cause of careful- ness and competence in automobile driving. Costs Must Balance Receipts A decrease during 1930 of $7,073,- 865,119 in the individual net inconre of the nation, as compared with 1929, has been reported by the Internal .20| Revenue Bureau. ‘The number of persons having in- Comes above $500,000 was cut in half; 00 incomes of individuals fell 29.12 per cent, and 574,705 fewer persons filed income tax returns. Tax collected on individual incomes showed a 52.5 Per cent drop, while corporations paid $618,246,431 tax—a decline of $428,739,406. The rate of tax, how- in the previous year on normal and corporate incomes. If our lawmakers in congress have the interest of the whole nation at heart, and consider it paramount to which is seeking public funds for some pet scheme or hobby, they will bend every effort to reduce govern- mental and public expenses to cor- respond with normal government in- come, Why should not) government buc- gets be trimmed the same as private budgets? The people cannot pay in- flated tax bills based on abnormal earnings of 1928 and: 1929. It is easy for public officials to say governmental expenses are “fixed” and cannot be reduced; this dodges the issue. Governmental expenses must be reduced. If the politicians would spend half as much time trying to find ways and means to lower government expendi- tures as they do trying to find new things to tax or new methods of in- creasing existing taxes, real tax reduction would result. Garner’s Appeal Speaker John N. Garner's appeal for Republican cooperation in a drive to balance the federal budget rings rather strangely in a Washington where it has been customary for such appeals to come from the other side of the fence. Nevertheless, putting aside all partisan considerations, it| is a good omen. It evidently means that both par- ties on Capitol Hill are prepared to! forget political considerations—to a) certain extent, at any rate—in order to restore Uncle Sam's finances to a healthy condition. The budget is to be balanced and the nation’s credit is to be made good. That is the im- portant thing, and the average citi- zen will not care greatly whether’ the job is done through Democratic Cooperation on a Republican plan or vice versa.

It may inspire more courage in rising out of our Present difficulties. It may impart Some of the feeling of Washington's character and daring and impressive stability to our present trying prob- Jems. It may help bring the nation back to the simple fundamentals of its origin. There has perhaps been no year in our national history when the service that Washington per- formed and symbolized could have’ been more profitably recalled and with more credit to his memory. . In this connection we can well thank the debunkers. By stopping the namby-pamby sanctification of Washington they. have left the real Washington standing there for our! genuine admiration amid his Virgin- jan plantations, a full-blooded citi- zen and proprietor who looked and acted like a man. He was, if you please, your Grand ‘Uncle George, the Virginian land- owner, who had his acres, his hounds, his whisky, his moments of cussful wrath and who left behind him, be- sides a rich personal tradition, a sys- tematized and well-tended estate, his pride and joy in life. This he was to begin with, and this he was to end with. All that went between, his leadership of the Conti- nental Army, his days as the First President, were possible and signifi- cant because as a man he typified the practical, prosperous, pioneering, ever, was one per cent higher than! the demands of any local territory) The Golden Fleece! : of New York, Jan. 22—Manhattan,’ like some capricious old monarch,| secks a new favorite each season. And the world, aware of this,) hunts down its most promising expo-/ nents of the esthetic, the revolution-| ary and the dazzling. For New York can be ® most generous potentate, rewarding its favorites with gold and applause and national recognition. Last year it was Mary Wigman, the} German creator of a new school of dance. The year before it was La Argentina, the amazing Spanish dancer. ‘Then it was Segovia, the! guitar virtuoso; again it was Raquel Meller. Nor does Gotham cast aside quick- ly those upon whom it has smiled. For many years they enjoy the big town’s favors. Frau Wigman packs the halls this year even as she did last. And Segovia or Argentina can: still crowd — Hall. * * But meet the 1932 favorite—al- though he has not yet landed on these shores! The fanfare is ready; the echoes from abroad have been allowed to sound in the “proper places.” His name is Vicente Escudero, and he is a Spanish dancer with a back- ground far more colorful and ro- mantic than most. For several years he has been a pet of Paris. Ameri- can tourists have already made his acquaintance and describe his danc- ing as the most virile of male solo work; his castanet and finger snap- footwork as spectacular. Escudero is a gypsy son of the STICKERS j formers. And so, when little moze ping executions, his rhythms and Granada hills, Like many a great, artist, the streets of his home city were the training school. At the age of eight he had discovered that the metal tops of manholes were reso- nant first-aids to a iad trying out those heel-taps so essential to the Spanish dance. When he was nine, cops were chas- ing him off the streets as police are accustomed to do with precocious gamins the world over. But his efforts had not gone un- noticed by other and older street per- than nine, Escudero was off through the countrysides of Spain, a wander- ing gypsy with @ troup of nomadic performers. se % ‘They drifted into villages on fete days; they danced at fiestas and fairs| and existed by passing the hat. The day came when this implication of beggary began to bother the growing youth. One day, asked to pass the hat, he rebelled. He was too proud. A fight ensued, and swinging on a tormentor Escudero bade farewell to his vagabond companions. He re- turned to Granada, and now he could appear ‘in the music halls. After some years, he made his way to Paris and took a modest studio ir the Montparnasse section. While ‘appearing in tne music halls, he also improved his technique. xe OH . The legend goes that the studio in which he has spent many years has holes in the floor, testimonials of endiess practice at heel tapping. He has refused to have them mended and although great fame has come to him, Escudero has preferred to remain there. One of his innovations was the use FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: agricultural ideal of the people who followed him as Commander-in-Chief and trusted him as President.
