A Nation's S hume From its inception,'the administration of relief has been'so mismanaged and bungled as to, render it a national shame. Two co- lossal mistakes were made, one of which, has been partially corrected, with only a bare possibility that the other will be, in timfe. The firgt great mistake was the require- nment of absolute pauperism before aid * would be extended to an applicant. If he had a house, however modest, in his narne, he was barred from relief. If he carried an * insurance policy, however smail, to insure. decent burial when death claimed him, that also dîsbarred him. If he owned anything. else of value, it was demanded that he dis- pose of it and use the funds for support before relief would be granted. This has been corrected to permit a small "estate" without -closin.g the door to relief. The other mistakewhc needs the im- mediate attention of relief officials,- is the admission to relief rolls o! 50 many people who are not èntitled to it. It is. charged that this mistakè, so costly to taxpayers, has assumed the proportions of a national. scandal. So manyý instances o! such im- position upon the gônerosity of the public havecorne to light that aggressive action- should be taken to clear the rolls of impost- ers. The best place tostart iÏs:at home. It is coceivaoîe tnat ne drives at a pace that affords comfort to hirnself and occu- pants of his Car,, giving opportunity for a vie* o! the countryside as they roll along. Also to observe highway department traf- the ditch. If the slow-poke really slows Up tramei, why flot give him a medal instead of a verbal spanking [t is more than anybody else has beeni able. to do, and the slowing of traffie is probably the one* wayr to end, or at least, reduce, the automobile.,massacre. Nothing to Live For A Florida Young man îinveigled two Young women to accompany him in an au- tomobile from one city to another on prom- ise of getting themn contracts in the movies,. Hie stated that* his intention was toý hold them for fansorn., but instead he killed one and held the other «in ~captvity for two <ays, when she escaped. Upon being ar- reste%1 for the murder and nmaking, a confes- sion, he said: "The sooner it's over the better. What have I to live for" If he had asked himself that question be- fore he had become so lost to ail sense of morality as to be capable of committing thecrime which hé will probably expiate at the cost of his own life, and had-earnestly sought an answer, he would not be in his> present predicament. There are so many things for whieh to live, so many oppor- tunities to Tnake any life, howeVer humble,. useful to society, that he could certairily have found themn without end. The com- - runity, t h e service organizations, the churches, the youth movements, the fra- ternal societies, the charitable associations -ail these need recruits in order that their humanitarian works may be continued without interruption. And for anyone, en- gaged in the m to ."go wrong" is the excep- to.They are too busy doing good to turn bad. Henry ftathjen, a former Chicagoan who turned gold prospector, is reported to have left an estate of $7,000 in cash, 'and the public ad- ministrator is looking for heirs. First we.knew thatUncle Henry had died. In looking over a map showing those portions of the earth owned, influenced or just bossed around by the British empire, we discovered many islands and portions of mainland with which, strangely, wé were not familiar. Big c ountries, littie countries and tiy islands. What, we Wonder, will happen to Mr. Hitier. should- he take a -notion to grab even one of the smallest of these?, Britain may give away pieces of other nations for the1 sake o! keepirng peace in the world-but flot her own. Remember Secretary -of Agriculture Wallace? Well, 'you are to have another reason for re- membering him. He"bas <-.rdered, a vote among. milk producers in the Chicago milk shed, to find out if they want him to . ix* a price for. milk that will give. them more m-oney for their .prod- ucet. You'll find the answer in the morning rnilk bottie. And now they say that talk of devastatinge Europe and annihilating ber people by air raids is the boloney, and that in the Big waa they. had littie effect. Mayle they're right. But if we lived ini Europe we would have a nice, big. comfortable hole in the ground, just in case. Our favorite Sunday paper showed pîctures of Saturday night's Music Festival, and asked if we- could find our face among the other ninety thousand or so. Gosh. no! We couldn't even find ourseif in Soldier field, let alone il] a picture of it. "New WPA forms pledge workers to uphold the- U. S." according to a headline. Well, they sbould. The U. S. has been holding them up long enough to deserve a return of the favor. ,Mary Pickford is return-ing to the movies. Lýet us hope- that the hoodoo on former cham- pion boxers and -sweethearts will be witbheld from Mary. Theý weather man, acs2ording to reports, is sore at the way the weather has been making a monkey of him, and is seeking new terms in which to couch his forecasts, The ter«is sought., If we were a motorist driving ini Chicago we would hoid our speed to not over two miles an hour, and stop at every street intersection, stop sign or no stop sign. Dinged if they'd get a chance to send us to jail! TRIE PHAN0eI><REPORTER
