The United States' National Recovery
Act is a hold stroke. Overnight,
it brands us outlaws those patasitu
interests which have long fringed]
legitimate business and numbed the >
han<.|s of men who would play the
game by rules based on fairness t.o j
employee, numagement, and consumer.
It stamps w#t approval the
policy of industries and concerns that
operate on the principle that business
was made to serve man.
Business and jua?fessipnal men who
have convictions pn the subject of
commercial bribery, fair prices, honest
products, and living wages for
workers, now have their innings.
Whether their cause is to be vindicated
and a new deal permanently written
into economics depends, in large
measure, on their response to the
challenge. Codes of practice and
ethics are to bo written by someone.
By whom if not them?
SUCKER MERCHANTS
Experienced Observer Hays 'I hey
Never Make Money for Retailers
The veteran observer, Eugene A.shi
raft, of Monroe, N. C., and The Enquirer
there, tells some things that
every other experienced merchant
knows about stunters and fakers coming
to towns to get easy money out
of business men. He says:
Within the past weeks three guys
have come to my office with schemes
to "till the town full of people," and
for which service merchants would
gladly carry extra advertisements in
the paper, and which would be split
fifty-fifty. But each of the stunt men
insisted that they be paid cash and
the newspaper men collect the balance
when theySfciuld.
The first fellow was a "remote control"
and radio-operated automobile
through the streets. Second, a guy
proffered to walk blindfolded coping
of the highest building in town. And
last, the blindfold driver who operated
an automobile through traffic
by aid of "telepathic wives" trans
mitted through the ether by way of
friend wife.
Well, those who have driven
through our streets may have brought
a few sight seers to our town, but
I have yet to hear a merchant say
/lis money till could not hold the
sheckles from customers drawn to his
store because of blindfold drivers.
When and if some stunfbr somes to j
town and proffers to jump off the ,
court house steeple, or onto the hard i
pavement from one of our highest i
'( buildings, I shall enter into a contract .
with him. Then after the show there
will be one less stunter to pester the,
fife out of merchants and newspaper
folks.
There is a milk war on in the

Capital Observations
(Special Correaporvdenoe)
Washington, August 8.?A couple
of weeks ugo referenco was made in
this column to thia city's being "wide
open," so far as Sunday restrictions
are concerned, as there are practically
none. An object was to note
the wide difference in observance in
various sections and localities. For
instance, here on Sunday one may
paint his house, do carpenter work,
V anting else, but if he crosses
the J'otnmnt; Kiver into \ irginia and
dues the ..unit kind of work die- is
subject to arrest and prosecution.1 It
may bo said that most of the towns
and cities in the Ivast have restrictions
governing work on Sunday,
some of them being very stringent.
Only recently certain municipalities
in Maryland were granted by the legislature
the right to <Jc*termine
whether picture shoves should be allowed
to open on Sunday. Another
illustration regarding the difference
in laws and ordinances, not however
relating to Sunday, is that in Washington
if one "bets on a race horsehe
is subject to arrest, but if you go
to tho District line, and step v>ver into
Maryland, you may b$t all you
choose.
On an pccasion while he was president
Gl-oVef Cleveland facetiously
uttered a remark to the effect that
he had Congress on his hands, and at
times ever sine? humorous references
have been made with a view of disparaging
the national legislative body.
TWfr cordial relation existing between
the president and Congress
during the recent session was more
than remarkable, and at its close the
chief executive thanked the senators
and representatives for "making possible
a more sincere and whole-heart- ,
ed cooperation between the legislative
bhtruhes of. the government than j
has been witnessed by the American j
people in many long years." In fact
it is doubtful if such entire coopera- j
t jon ever existed previously, and of j
course it was due mainly to Roosevelt's
great ability and truly wonder- j
ful personality." In his closing J
statement the president said: "To,
aach anil every one of you 1 send my |
best wishes for a well deserved and j
happy holiday during the coming
months."
i President Roosevelt has been ex- !
ceedingly liberal in the official recognition
of elements and individuals
that previously had not been affiliated
with the Democratic party. He
appointed to his cabinet three men
who were formerly Republicans, and
they may even claim to be so yet, as
they have-given no intimation of con-j
| nection with the Democratic pitrty
other than their support of Roosevelt
lavt year. They are William H. Woodin.
of New York, secretary of the
treasury; Harold L. Ickes, of Chicago.
secretary of the interior; and
Henry A. Wallace, of Iowa, secretary
of- agriculture. Holding high office
by t he three mentioned having been j
called to the attention <>f a nationally ,
prominent Democrat, he remarked,
that" ""Well, we still have a majority
in the cabinet." j
It i.- said that the explanation of,
the rather c'.o>e vote in Tennessee for
that the Republicans opposed almost
solidly the amendment providing for
the repeal of the provisions for prohibition.
Having practically no other
ground upon which they could indicate
opposition to the Democrats,
they hated to see the last remaining
stand taken away. The mountain
folks generally have supported prohibition,
and stronger than ever this
year.
As an acknowledgment of the inert
and helpless condition of his party
lasT year, Congressman U. S. Guyer,
Republican of Kansas, says that
"Franklin D. Roosevelt could have
been elected on a platform that declined
for the repeal ->f the law of
gravitation."

Two French Fliers
Make Longest Hop
Rayack, Syria, Aug. 7.?A straightline
distance airplane record of approximately
5,700 miles from New
York was claimed tonight by the ^>vo
daring French fliers, Paul Codol and
Maurice Rossi, who landed here exhausted
after one of the greatest
flights on record.
('odos^ and* Rossi ket their silver,
broad-winged Bleriot 'monoplane down
at the Kayack airport?one of the
beat In Asia Minor at dusk, 55 hours
20 minutes out from Floyd Bennett
field, New York. Their official landing
time \vj?s 5:10 p. m.-r-nG. M. T.
(1:10 p. nfl E. 1). T.)
They estimated they hud flown sev-,
eral hundred miles further than the
straight-line distance, buffeted over
southeastern Europe by treacherous
air currents as they approached the
Arabian desert.
Leakage in their gasoline line,
which started as ' they neared the
Syrian coast, prevented them from
from continuing on toward the Persian
gulf, Codos said. They had
planned to carry on and set a record
of between '6,000 and 7,000 miles, but
the mishap forced them to land,
Rossi said the plane functioned perfectly
during the flight.
Both men were exhausted when
they reached the airport here, some
30 miles due west ojf the port city of
Beirut, Syria, on the railroad. They
hud to bq^vjped from the plane. Several
hundreds-natives, picturesque in
scant costumes and the inevitable
burnouse, worn as protection against
the blistering sun, joined army aviators
in cheers as the aviators were
sighted, coming in low from the coast
with an army escort. The army planes
wm
from their base at Aleppo and Delrez-Zor
met the aviators as they
reached the Syrian coast and led them
to a safe landing at Rayack. The fliers
did not pass over Aleppo, as reported
by French and British press agencies
earlier in the day. 4
The men fought fatigue and terrific
heat throughout the day, they said,
as they flew rapidly down over the
continent of Europe, on a southwesterly
course from Paris. After be.ing i
sighted over the island of Rhodes,
near Greece, and followed the southern
cqast of Asia 'Minor until they
crossed the coast of Syria near AllU*
och, of Biblical memory.
The French planes from the Syrian
air force encountered them in that
vicinity.
The air ministry at Paris wired
them congratulations and official an-t
nouncement that they had broken the
record of 5,U40 miles set by two British
.fliers, squadron leader, iC. B. Gayford,
and flight lieutenant G. E. Nicholetts,
on a flight to South Africa last
February.
Aside frdm the heat during the afternoon,
the fliers said they ran into
unfavorable weather in the neighborhood
of Macedonia, below the Balknns.
The winds, however, were far
less severe than the storms over the (
North Atlantic which they fought the
first night out from New York.
The dramatic story of their flight
was told in telegraphic flashes from
time to time during today as the
plane was sighted over southeastern
Europe and Asia Minor. , They were
unheard from for a time after flying
over Kastelorizo, in southern Turkey,
at 12:47 p. m. G. M. T. (8:47 a. m.
E. D. T.), but subsequent radio signals
from them were picked up at
Athens, indicating all was well. The
fliers had both receiving and sending
radio equipment, a fact to which they
ascribed much of the success* of their
achievement.
Rossi said they probably would remain
at Rayack a day or two resting
up and checking their plane before
departing for Paris.
The British admiralty is planning
heavy increases to the number of
ships of the navy of that country.
This move is an answer to recent announcements
of heavy building programs
by the United States, Japan,
France and Italy.
Lieut, beneral Hans von Buelow,
former German army officer and in
command of a German army corps in
the latter part of the World war, died
suddenly at a Waynesville,' N. C.,
,hotel on Sunday.

A good friend of this Column has
said to us, "Don't write so much about
horses, people are not enough interested."
Hut with his permission, the writer
feels that he must report something1
he observed at the inauguration of
this year's race meeting at Saratoga.
There were present thousands of,
people from all parts of the country,
from the South, the West, the North,
the I\ast?people representative of all
walks of life, some favored with much
of this world's goods, some in very,
moderate circumstances. The man of,
prominence and the obscure citizen,'
the Whitneys and the Wideners with
their great stables of famous thoroughbreds
and their long established
traditions, and the man just starting
with one or two horses, owned and
trained by himself?men, women and
children drawn to one spot by a common
interest.
As we watched the steeplechasers
parade to the post arid saw Regan
McKinney and "Pete' Bostwick in
their racing colors; as we noticed the
interest with which the appearance of
the mighty Equipoise was awaited;
;is we saw. on every side, in wellkept
lawns, in flowered walks, in
carefully designed jumps, evidencesj
of the care with which President,
j (leorge Hull and his associates had '
ft>? months been preparing for rhis
' day ? we tnuu.'ht. "What is it "hat
; draw- all these thousands of pc -pie
rere, to -ci' -01110 horses tun an and
a t raik ? "
And then we f ad the answer,
standing m the -addling shed, wf
-aw Equ poi-e! He was facing to!
waul u ?, M- tine head thrown h gh,
'his delicate ears vibrant with iife?
i h;> no-trils sniffing the air as though
he -ei%ed the smoke of battle, and
r his e\ es??in his eyes "the look of
j Eagles."
1 A- we noticed that look, into the
'distance and far above the heads of
the crowd, fixed, so it seemed, on the
' mountain tops, that look that bespoke
j breeding, mentality, couragf?we had
.the answer to our question and recognized
as the motive which dr.w
[ nat assemblage, man's ancient and
: instinctive affection for that n?dde
animal, the thoroughbred horse.

Dear Chronicler:
. I had the good fortune to run a iss
;a ra er.t issue of The Chron.cli ..ml
< a iir.g your column, tha* * tie
--a;. a country ed:t<.r no ; my
The style was familiar t< me
...when I read the s.ignajre
"Thomas Woods," I realized that my
literary batting average was holding
its own.
Now, I know Woods?lawyer, indifferent
fisherman, book-collector, orator?who
makes such a ceremony of
lighting a match as another would
make of being presented at Court,
story-teller, writer.
He motions Sherwood Anderson..
..well, I was with him when he first
met Anderson.... It was a memorble
night?and who can correctly describe
that kind of a night in any
other way?
Well, Anderson was speaking that
night in the town where Woods lives
and where he has an extra abode a
mile or so out of town. Anderson
was to come out after his talk . . .. j
Mind you, he was a strange; *J1
present?even to his hoot. liut he
came into* this crowd like a conquering
warrior?and thid crowd was no
mean crowd either, but it had started
to taste of pheasants and wild
grouse and was not showing an overamount
of restraint .... Ceremony
was conspicuously lacking but Anderson
could dispense with that too.
There were, at his entrance, questions
as to who he was?kindly, you
understand, but brusquely free ..He
accepted the challenge . . when aaked
what he had written, he graciously
enumerated the list?apologizing for
it and adding that he hoped no one
had been bored by the items . . they
told him no apology was necessary
for none had ever read any of them.
These gentlemen?quite generally
accepted as such?began to question
him ;n what might not be considered
a gentlemanly manner, but tney soon
found out that Mr. Anderson was
practically invulnerable to their
thru-:.- ;ind slammed lawk at them at
interval that silenced many a one
who spoke out of turn: yet always
, with a smile?smile of a \*k tor . . itc
1 \\ a - supcrl^
! He rambletfon from st >ry to story
i?many about himself and in which
1 he was a: the receiving end?replying
io a jolt here and there in the
measure in which it was sent?until,
j finally, all were listening to him in
, silence?he in complete control of the
I meeting. .. Big, laughing, with quick
I adjustments .. to every jibevhe had
; only to rally his resources to lay
j them in the dust of their own making
and W.iod.s, for once, drifted
(along in Anderson's wake, speechless!
ly becalmed .... This alone was a
I triumph of Anderson's of which he
I never knew ... So the night passed,
and p.irt of the following morning?
'Anderson, at the wheel, steering a
i fleet of strange ships through strange
, water>?sounding here and there but
(ever, the guiding helmsman.
When my friend wrote that little
lartnle ,r. the "Chronicle of the
,Urek" he classified Anderson with
I his idol- but he didn't say why
. so I'm telling you now.
