Of more interest to the ordinary citizen was the discussion of the weather and the sad conclusion that nothing could be done, about it. It can't even be fore- east. accurately, particularly over any. ex- tended period. Even daily forecasts, : have never achieved 100 per cent aceuracy. As for weather cycles, of the sort un- scientific citizens like to believe in, there aren't any that meteorologists have yet | been able to discover even after extensive be cards of fe is of coapels sp obiteatt a ote, will be sn cemtntone at the rate of 10 cents 1 a line.

Even if the professor's ‘dibetina aren’t “‘wirt” much, the brain’ trust . has found out. that the. country will not stand for any nonsense from megalomaniacs. With, some speakers telling the U. S. Chamber of Commerge that we're being “regimented,” and others insisting _ that we're “drifting,” a compromise verdict might be that we're up a tree, Many of us go onour way in total ignorance of what ia goihg:om about: until something persona) hits us—like, the fish which prabably remains utterly oblivious of tin existence of ».water until . rudely; hauled into the upper ‘ait by, the, fisher- man's line. Telephone 598 is one,of the most pop- ular telephone numbers. in the ditectoty. There's a. reason. . It. is much advertised. And this, too, is ah, advertisement because all those reading this item who happen hot to know what business house is represented by this number will look it up to satisfy their curiosity. Not satisfied to tax all that is tan gible, all the legislators could lay their hands on, they devised méans to tax that whith ts intangible; things which . afte in- visible and cannot be perceived by touch: Some day ingenious tax creators will dope out a scheme by whieh we wilf Be taxed on propierty that doés not éven exist. The clerk issues the marriage licetise and gets $2. The minister ties the. knot and gets $10. The editor prints a column about it and getg,the devil if he makes one mistake.—Times-Union.

The layman might have guessed as much for himself from the fact that advocates of this theory claim so many different cycles, ranging from very short periods up toa cycle of 60. years. They are associated with all sorts of phenomena supposed to prove théir exist- ence, such as sun spots, tree rings, earth- quakes, wheat prices, Nile floods, lake lévels, planetary positions, solar ptom- théences, crop yields and what have you. As a matter of fact, weather is so old, and scientific study. of it is. so young; that human beirigs do not yet ha nough data for finial study and go There probably are cycles, ang cycles. But we can’ forward view successfull — ~greater dong-range backward view.” a RAPID HOME-SAVING ~ p long-range Some government recovery efforts have lagged lamentably, especially the big PWA undertaking of which so much was expected. It is pleasant to sée a’ con- Spicuous exception, The. HOLC—Home Owners Loan Corporation—though it. also was-rather slow in gettifig under way, is how making up for the lost time with a re- |— ‘markable burst.of speed. Communities: throughout the country feel this effectiveness lately, as thousands of homes are saved from foreclosure hy transferring the mortgages to the govern- iment on easier terms and giving the mort- gage-holdér his equity in federal bonds. Few, of the beneficiaries have known, though, of the pressure that has: produced this speed. : Tt develops that in the HOLC . head- i ‘Washington the officials, clerks and stenographers -are. not. only working in two shifts of eight hours each, but the two groups are engaged in contests to see which can turn out the most work. There are “péji” talks and everything that usually gues with-stch a contest in private enterprise. Recently the night shift short- ened its lunch. period 15 minutes in order to heost its output. Really, this sort of thing will never do... It is not only contrary to all govern- ment tradition, but against the spirit, if not the letter, of NRA. MOVIE PATRONS’ CHOICE Among the moving pictures. planned for next season one finds such appealing titles as “David. Copperfield,” . “Vanity Fair,” “Bride and Prejudice,” ‘Les Miser- ables,” “Rip Vai Winkle,” “Cyrano” and The Count of Monte Christo.”» Will Hays promises plenty of excellent, wholesome and entertaining fare for movie patrons. At the same time, though «no. state- ments aré issued about them,. there -will } doubtless be pictures of the sort that arouses demands for film censorship—un- derworld melodramas, tawdry thrills, un- pleasantly sophisticated stuff. The pub- lic complains about these productions, but the movie people reply that such pictures Make more money than the others simply because more people go to see them. It is, therefore, up to the public itself to deeide which sort of picture will _pre- dominate in the. future, If the publi¢ really prefers clean entertainment, it Should patronize clean entertainment. sit really dislikes sordid and suggestive talkies, it should stay away from them. Box office receipts, in this profit system, have a great deal to do with the kind of pictures screened.
