This money was voted by congress In the last ses sion as a means Of creating work. Pro- v Approval by congress of the vast Everglades area In Florida as a na tional park operied the way for W velopment of an interestingly tropi cal project which will rank In size and significance along with the Yel lowstone and Yosemlte attractions. Known by most persons only as the home of the Seminole Indians and as Ideal territory for hunting and fishing, the Everglades park hblds a strange lure for the adven turer and the-student of nature, once they have forced their way into the they return and market nntfl day!! take thelivpse^ Perhaps the molt impressive fea ture ef this project, so far as the student of bird life Is concerned.

The current in the rising and bodies selling in • regimented fSllInjf SWt water streams flows' in such a manner as to make it possible for oysters to attach themselves to the surface roots of the mangrove trees. Besides mangroves, this little-ex plored expanse of forest and water ways includes maple, ash, sweet gum, «ak* magivftUa, pla limbo, mahogany, lignum vitae and other species of trees. These, to gether with the rubber trees and many kinds of strong trailing vines. loans now outstanding. Indeed, th$ rule was a decline from June 30, 1933. Banking authorities In the govern ment and outside tell me these figures on deposits and resources clearly Indi cate an Improvement In the general banking situation. The Federal Re serve board In Its- latest review of con ditions declared the banking structure was on a much firmer foundation. Yet, the fact that the banks have not made Ibans Is being seized upon by a certain segment of politicians and alleged economists as proof that the banks are not doing their part From very high quarters In the administration we hear Intermittent yelps that the banks are not co-operating and are not attempt ing to loan money. This condition, as they construe It Is being used as the excuse for the existence of numerous of the government loaning agencies but I find many observers who are wondering whether the amount of money that has been paid to labor for highway construction has been a proper proportionate part of the total set aside, when the purpose was solely the making of Jobs. Total figures by the public roads office show that 6,360 miles were com pleted and In use on Jnly 1 of this year and that 14,000 mites were under construction, with the probability that thpj will be in use by the end of 1984. Contracts have been awarded, the bu-‘ reau has said, for the construction of about 1,900 miles more, and work on this portion will be under way In the late summer.— • • • It used to be assumed that when economic conditions were below par, ’ many owners of au- Still Umo- tomohlles would dis* pristine Interior.- — The park area la about twice the 1 f orm such a dense living barrier that size of Rhode Island, embracing more many parts of the Everglades are and for other activities nnder the New Deal that result In getting money out into the country.

It offers an Incalculably valuable study of plant and animal life In a distinctly trop ical environment Only a few scien tists and a sprinkling of the mere venturesome hunters among Flori dans fully realize the Importance cf what the Everglades offer. It sounds like fairyland fiction to say that the Everglades contain or- chlds so large that they haye to be carried by four men, but that Is the report of a scientist, Dr. John K. Small, head curator of the New York Botanical garden, and other respon sible persons "who have made their way into this exotic Jungle area Doctor Small, whose Interest in the Everglades began more than thirty years ago, found orchids there with stems 15 feet long, on which wefe growing as many as 1,000 flowers More than 25 varieties’ of”orchids grow there.

While some of the critics of the bankers have been continuing their at- tacka I note statements from the Pub lic Works administration, from the Re construction Finance corporation, from the Home Owners’ T,oftn corporation, ajid-the—Farm Credit-admlnlstratlotw- \ among others, which show very clearly that the government or Its agencies is unwilling to make loans unless It can foresee a reasonable ^chance for re payment.

Every day local units of the Home Owners’ T,oan corporation are turning down applica tions hy home owners who seek gov ernment money through mortgages on their property to aid them in what ever distress they find themselves. The same statement may be made respecting loans by the Reconstruction Fnance corporation In Its dealings with In dustry. Lately the various Federal Reserve banks issued a weekly statement of their operations, and only three of the twelve reserve Institutions reported having made loans to Industry. • • • I have Inquired In numerous quarters for reasons why borrowers were so few. The consensus Why Borrow-given me hy men ers Are Few who should know. Is that there are two distinct reasons for the small amount of loans being made by banks and. of course, the same reasons apply In the case of government loans, except that the government has been fcaore out money In places from which It probably never will be-returned.'One of the reasons mentioned was that In dividuals and firms who most need money have nothing but their own signed obligations to pot up ns a 'guarantee. Obviously, If an Individual or a corporation has no resources, the note of that Individual or that corpora- . tlon Is of little value, however honest and well Intentloned the borrower may be. The second reason, and one that Is quite as important. Is the lack of con fidence which business men tell me exists to a large extent In commerce and industry: Whatever Is the basis for this lack of confidence Is not a matter of concern In this discussion, but Its existence seem to me to be a matter of the gravest Importance. Whether taxpayers are afraid of the burden in levies wMch they can fore see. Is the reason for their hesitancy, Is not now wholly apparent Many observers are convinced It Is an In fluential factor. There Is also the question which one hears so often asked: Where and how far does the New Deal Intend to go in socialization and reform? It seems to be obvious that each of these, and perhaps others, - are factors standing In the way of a sound expansion of business under the reovery plan Jn the meat line, the federal govern- . —-v- years. Official statistics show that 23,- 872,000 motor vehicles were In use last year. This is only 1 per cent below 1932. The decline from 1931 to 1932 was larger, but the point is, according to officials, that the decline was very small. Tbs authorities insist that th# reduction In total motor vehicles la use "as compared with 1932 should be considered as hardly noticeable when the whole country and the whole num ber of’ motor vehicles Is considered. Although I have not the official statis tics concerning the sales of new cars last year, responsible sources Inform me that this business was very much Improved and they add also that the sales for 1934 in the first six months have been exceptianally_hlglL— 1 would Indicate that a great many In dividuals have found money. In some way or another, which they could spare for a new automobile. Washington observers lately Have noticed an Increasing tendency among Conservatives throughout the country, whether Democratic or Republican, to align themselves under one banner. The movement as yet Is much In the embryo, but I am told by various ob servers who are acquainted with po litical trends that the alignment Is tak ing a rather definite shape. Some months ago I reported In these columns the belief of many political* leaders that Mr. Roosevelt, as Presi dent, was definitely engaged in the formation of a Roosevelt party that would adhere strictly to liberal stand ards. Assignments which the Presi dent has made, the legislation which he has proposed, and his general atti tude on social matters coupled with an absolute disregard of old-time Demo cratic principles, has laid the ground work for the regrouping of voters un der a liberal and conservative align ment. It Is to be ngtfed in this connec tion that Mr. Roosevelt Is continuing to expand his liboral doctrines nnder the guidance of some of the political leaders heretofore held to be radical members of the two old parties. • • • Another factor and Influence that Is noted now to be at work Is the grad ual concentration of Contervative business Interests on Trend-- the conservative side —ire 500 yean old. A large part of this area consists of thousands of Islands and lakes and winding waterways teeming with many kinds of fish. One enthusias tic explorer, Impressed with the heavily carpeted lands, said 10,000 persons could march through there and leave no footprints. Mangrove trees there, many of which reach a height of 100 feet, have a strange beauty. There is a forest of them which covers 100 square miles. - Coconuts, of course, are plentiful, and it is an odd fact almost impenetrable. Thousands of huge sea turtles, weighing from 100 to 300 pounds, eome ashore at night to lay their eggs Id the sands and leave them there to hatch. Natives have made extensive commercial use of both the turtles and the eggs, for one tur tie lays from l 150 to 200 eggs. The turtles are caught as they move be tween the water and their nests. Hunters bide until a turtle is sev eral feet away from the water, then they rush up, flop her over on her back and leave jter paddling the air rhythm and their wings reflecting a delicate pink Among the birds to be seen there are egrets, herons, cranes, ibis, fla mingoes and spoonbills.

Washington has heard lately of efforts being made, which would result in the molding of business Interests, or the spokesmen therefor, into a compact organisation ns a means of combating policies of the New Deal regarded by business leaders as radical in character. It is too early to attempt a forecast as to the scope of this move. Never theless. It is quite apparent that a con centration of this strength Is under way. Not only will these men and in terests oppose expansion of such pol icies as NRA and the AAA hut they are organizing to fight the ever-increas ing burden of taxation and to oppose extension of government in business. It Is a matter of record, of course, that the tendency of government poli cies in the United States since the World war has been steadily to the left. Conservatives have been unable thus far to check this trend, largely because the conservative element never has stood together. It Is fm- portsnt and s significant, therefore, that for the first time we are observing the development of a conservative organi zation in this country which has the avowed purpose of turning the Ameri can government back somewhat to tbs right and, as tbs leaders describe It, back again to the Constitution as it ' eras originally drawn. . • hr WsaWra Ha EVERY YEAR OE YWR Mm I This and 553 Big Cash Prizes all given to Women like Yourself for Writing Short, Simple Letters about Comayl ^ • » - - * •— — • - ^ ^ - / M illions of women use Camay, the Soap of Beau tiful Women.
