About $3,000,000 was spent bythe government for the use of sub- marines, but is not being used’ for the in- tended purpose, and serves adequately as a basin for yachts. These facilities: sould be made known to yachtemen witht an as- sured response. that will be of great bene- fit to this community.

Be that as it may, "tT ) great Ohio River flood brought +} tional prominence two able men who rode WOLFE’S BABY SHOES Among the treasures in the Canadian archives at Ottawa is a pair of baby shoes once worn by James Wolfe. Most Ameri- can school children have read in their his- tories the story told of how General Wolfe recited Gray’s “Elegy in a Country Church- yard” the night before the battle of Que- bec and said that he had rather have been the acthor of the poem than to have “the | glory of beating the French tomorrow.” He did beat the French on the mor- row on the plains of Abraham at Quebec, which victory wrested Canada from the French, but Wolfe died on the field after being thrice wounded. " "The: “opposing | French commander, Montcalm, was, ..also |: mortally wounded in the battle. Wolfe was one of the most skillful and daring commanders who ever wore the British uniform. He was a commission- ed officer at the age of 14, became a cap- tain at 17 and a major shortly after. He was a brigadier general when he yielded up his life for England at the age of 31, after executing one of the most daring ex- ploits in military annals, The story of that exploit is too long to relate here, but if our readers will look it up they will understand why that pair of baby shoes is so highly prized and treas- ured by the Dominion authorities in Ot- tawa.

Among those whose -masterful hand ling of desperate situations in- their eom- munities received the highest praise were City Manager Clarence A. Dykstra of Cin- cinnati and Mayor Neville Miller of Louis- ville. Both directed rescue work and relief for flood refugees in their respective citiés with consummate skill and spectacular success, ‘ Recently both men have been: called to more important if less spectacular posts —Dykstra to be president ofthe Univer- sity: of Wisconsin, and Miller to. be: assist- ant to the president of Princeton. Both had been at the head of univer- sity departments before beéoming city of- ficials, and are ‘therefore exceptionally equipped by scholarship and executive ex- perience for leadership in the great edu- cational institutions named. CANTOR’S SOUND. ADVICE Eddie Cantor is known to millions of people in this country and other. nations through his performances on the stage, the sereen.and in front of the microphone. The Jewish comedian has brought laughter to many and his reputation is built upon com- edy. At the same time, he has another side seldom seen in public. Recently, he addressed an audience of Jews, speaking to them about the persecu- certain that if we Jews cling. to our hi and practice leading honorable lives, lping our fellowmensmhoever they ma: be, irrespective of race, color or creed, we will again triumph over our enemies as Moses did in times gone by.” Mr. Cantor’s advice to Jews, with slight alterations to suit other religious faiths, can be followed with considerable profit by people every PRAISE FOR APES A! “fairly bright’ ape, says Dr. P. H. Dubois, psychologist of the University of New Mexico, can beat a “very dull” human being in an intelligence test.

Another factor in prevei the enactment of the measure tless was the belief that further tinkering with the economic system would do more harm than good, On July 3ist; the administration leaders succeeded in forcing a bill, in drastically. modified form, through the Senate by a vote of 56 to 28. But all attempts to bring it to a vote in the House failed.

Ever since the Supreme Court in 1935 unanimously the compulsory code sytsem of the NRA to be uncon- stitutional, he has been seeking ways and means of restoring the outlawed regulation. Measure after measure has been written into the laws of the land to accomplish in part what the NRA un- constitutionally accomplished through | the codes of fair competition. The Wagner Labor Relations Act, the two Guffey Bituminous Coal Control acts, a.bill for the regulation of the poul- try. business, the Robinson-Patman Act for the prevention of price dis- criminations, and the Walsh-Healey Act imposing NRA conditions on gov- ernment contractors are the most conspicuous of these measures. the neo-New Dealers and their Br © are not satisfied. They are de- to subject the economie life’ of country to the control of Fed- eral’ bureaucrats regardless of the consequences. Many months ago the preent promised business a breath ingispell but he did not keep the promise. The regulatory measures mentioned together with heavy taxes have placed a ruinous burden on the shoulders of the nation's business. men. To these measures, togethe! with labor conditions and the Presi- | dent’s insistence upon the enactment of new regulatory laws, the. dep s- sion which became apparent in Oc- tober should be attributed.
