Roving Banks
Prison Board Bill
Odd Sugar Sources
C. About a century ago when
some states allowed banks to
move from town to town at will,
many went into hiding so their
notes could not be presented for
redemption in gold. One of them,
the Bank of Morocco, was found
by detectives, after a year’s
search, in a cabin in a dense In
diana forest.

JOHNSON
C, Although Michigan enacted a
law in 1935 requiring prisoners
who are financially able to pay for
their maintenance (about a dollar
a day) the state has only been
able to collect this payment from
two of the approximate 20,000 per
sons who have passed in and out
of its prisons during this time.

C. One of the strangest cases of
human albinism occurred in Afri
ca some years ago. A Negro cou
ple had three white and three
black children, born in the follow
ing order—two consecutive black
boys, two consecutive white girls,
one black girl and one white boy.
C. Of the hundreds of different
kinds of sugars, some of which are
bitter and poisonous, many are
made from such odd substances as
seaweed, cottonmeal, chicory,
dahlias, artichokes and ivory nuts,

Washington, D. C.
WAR BASIS FOR INDUSTRY?
Some of my columnar war crying
colleagues say that American indus
try ought to be put on a war basis
right now. Their argument is that
one reason why France fell was
that, under a peace structure, she
could not mobilize her industry for
war production, had to declare war
to pep up the nation and did it all
leisurely and far too late. They say
also that “business as usual’’ kept
England from getting ready soon
enough and, finally, they point to
the snail-like slowness of our pres
ent rearmament program.
With all that about France, Eng
land and our slow progress, I agree.
Perhaps I could agree also with the
conclusion about putting our indus
try on a “war basis,” if I knew what
the words mean—or if they did. Of
that I am in doubt.
If it means that American indus
try should now be put under indus
trial amateurs, I know of no more
certain way to slow or even para
lyze war production. If it means
that we should get some dynamic
and experienced leadership of the
industrial war effort and give it ap
propriate authority, no comment
was ever more significant—or more
correct.
That kind of leadership and ad
ministration would not, however, as
some of this comment suggests, be
obliged just to set all peace-time
production aside in a kind of ad
journment to make way for our war
needs. There is plenty of industrial
capacity in this country for both
needs.
Our industry needs an orchestra
leader with a real baton who can
keep it in harmony and rhythm for
the new tune—but it doesn’t need to
be chained to the benches of any
slave galley with a sort of roman-
ized Simon Legree to increase the
stroke with a cat-o’-nine-tails.
• • •
Our trivial World war experience
may be informing. Our speedup of
shipbuilding, both of merchant and
warcraft, approached the miracu
lous. Charlie Schwab had charge of
part of it. In a plant where al Iparts
of a fabricated ship were being as
sembled and the engine department
was far ahead of the co-ordinated
schedule for it and other depart
ments, he took time out for a short
picnic for the workers in the yards.
There were no speeches but. when
the time for them came, Charlie
pulled a surprise—the complete en
gine, mounted on truck wheels, gay
with flags and preceded by a band
came rolling out under a large
transparency which read, “All
dressed up and no place to go.” That
plant speeded up production imme
diately.
Of course, we can’t do this job
with ballyhoo, but ballyhoo is part
of it. We need every incentive and
pressure of “go-get-it,” unified, ex
perienced and inspired leadership to
get speed without confusion and
waste. We have one of this kind of
leadership, only political leadership
which insists on retaining personal
ized control of everything.
...
REARMAMENT
Is the rearmament program pro
ceeding rapidly? Sidney Hillman
of the national defease advisory
commission “advises that no manu
facturer who violates the labor laws
can be ‘awarded’ a contract for
work on the defense program and
that the National Labor Relations
board will decide, for this purpose,
whether or not an employer is ‘vio
lating.’ ”
There are now only two members
of NLRB, Leiserson and Smith. The
term of Chairman Madden has ex
pired. Due to protests based on
charges of his bias and unfairness
the President has not reappointed
him. The vacancy has existed for
weeks. Some observers guess that
the President wants to wait until
after the election and then reappoint
Madden. Smith and Leiserson agree
on very few disputed points. Smith
is an extreme left-winger—like Mad
den. Leiserson is middle of-the-
road. What they can’t agree on is
put on ice until appointment of a
third member with the deciding
vote.
Over in the selective service draft
system, although the new organiza
tion is under way, no administrator
has been appointed. Some myste
rious inner pressures—probably the
senile war-minded Stimson—pre
vented a solution of this problem
which was perfection—the experi
enced and judicious veteran of the |
World war draft, Gullion, for ad
ministrator—the young, expert and
vigorous Hershey as its chief execu- j
tive. Either alone would have been
satisfactory. The team couldn’t i
have been bettered.
As in NLRB, no responsible head j
has been appointed. Hershey has |
been “detailed” to go through in an
“acting” capacity.
In the name of mere mediocrity,
why? The big job in the draft is
the beginning—setting up the selec
tive service system and selling it
to the people. That requires experi
ence, expertness—even genius. Aft
er that it is a routine mechanical
job. This beginning also requires
some prestige or position in the ad
ministrator. It certainly requires
unquestioned authority and full re
sponsibility.
SECRET OF HAPPINESS
Glory and fame appear to make
some women intensely happy, but
Kathleen Norris points out that this
happiness is shortAived. She believes
that a woman can find genuine, lasting
content only in her own sold. Miss
Norris advises women to live a normal
life and develop natural interests; then
they’ll be far happier than the lone
some heiress who is surrounded by a
lot of parasitic playmates.
Catner-3 snapping in her face wherever she goes are not reality. She loves them,
of course, and when they stop she suffers agonies of jealousy. No matter how young,
beautiful, rich, successful a woman is, sooner or later she has to find content where
YOU find it. In her own soul.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
B E A contented woman. So
few women are content!
This advice is not for the
thirties. Not for the forties.
These years are full of hope and
changes and potentialities and
excitements. The most thor
oughly disappointed and bored
and disillusioned wife of 34 may
still feel that a complete change
of circumstances may take
place any day.
Jim might get a promotion
with a big raise. Or some un
suspected uncle might, leave
them a tidy fortune. Ur they
might have to move to Rio, on
10 days notice. Or the talent scouts
might seize upon the baby, who is
10 times as fascinating as any baby
star on the screen.
Life holds thrills. A new hat—a
new hair-do, is a thrill. Just meet
ing a courteous new man is a thrill.
To have someone suggest a delight
ful job opens up new trains of
thought. A hundred a month,
and a summer vacation free, for
just being hostess at a big mountain
hotel.
A New Cycle Begins.
All this ends at about 45. No
use fooling about it, it comes to an
end. No mor» men are going to
fall in love with you. No new hat is
going to do for you what that $1.98
hat did 20 years ago. Jim isn’t go
ing to be raised, promoted, sent to
an exciting post. He’s there, stout
and middle-aged and comfortable
and quite satisfied to go on living.
The children have passed the ab
sorbing and dependent stages; they
need teeth bands and corrective
shoes and plenty of school help, but
there is little in that to satisfy the
woman who has been dreaming all
her life of achievements, of fame,
wealth, glory, success.
If you are one of those women,
harness your dreams. Or better
still, wake up and try to appreciate
one important fact.
This is the fact. No matter how
young, beautiful, rich, successful a
woman is, sooner or later she has
to find content exactly where you
can find it. In her own soul.
What Price Fame.
Of course she likes the excitement
of success, the flattery of her public,
the brief, brief hours in which her
fame eclipses that of the next ex
quisitely pretty and captivating
woman. But those things last only
hours or days, or months at most,
and then the gnawing inner hunger
for reality begins to fret her. Holly
wood sets are not reality; cameras
snapping in her face wherever she
goes are not reality. She loves
them, of course, and when they stop,
when she is only yesterday’s favor
ite, she suffers agonies of jealousy.
And she knows all along that they
are not real.
She puts on a $40 apron and cooks
in a picture-book kitchen. She
adopts a baby, and is photographed
with it. And all the time she is
blindly reaching out for—what you
have; a man who needs her, a kitch
en in which she is queen; a small
person to come stumbling to Moth
er.
At 40 she has nothing left. The
booking agencies in New York, the
casting offices of Hollywood are
filled with unemployed, wistful wom
en who were stars a few years ago.
Their sugar-frosting dream is over.
The bubble has burst. And then,
unless they have something very
real with which to go on; family
ties, the right to love and service,
they are dreary derelicts for life.
The lives of very few elderly
actresses are lifted out of tragedy.
Content Is Secret of Happiness.
Even highly successful profession
al women don’t go on to happy mid
dle life unless they’ve discovered
the secret of content. Too often
young fame distracts them from the
natural course of marriage and
motherhood, and they find glory and
money rather poor pickings in the
end.
And the merely rich women! The
glamour girls who have done nothing
to earn their luxury and power, their
yachts and Palm Beach mansions,
their furs and jewels—what a sad
mess THEY make of it!
Within a few years of the time
when you went around all morning
wishing you were in Gloria Millions
place, Gloria is haggardly facing a
second divorce, supporting a flatter
ing circle of titled European hang
ers-on, and telling the whole world
that she will fight for the custody
of her child.
Whereas you, if you’ve played
your cards wisely, are the adored
mother of two brown tall Indians
of children who are dancing about
bepause it’s Saturday, and Mom is
taking Jim and Mary and the Sim
mons children off to the beach for
the day.
Or you’re absorbed in your gar
den; there’s no heartache cure like
a garden. You’ve decided to have
supper out-of-doors. You’re trying
for a prize contest on the air. Your
Persian aristocrat has produced
three delicious kittens. The baby
next door has been loaned to you
for his noon Pabulum and his after
noon nap. Jim is, thank goodness,
going to be free for a three-day
week-end next Friday. Mary is in
first year French and it’s perfectly
amazing how your old grammar and
you can help her. You’ve got to
consider both sides of moving to
that possible farm. Chickens and
fruit and quiet and space against
the commuting trip for Jim—.
All Possess Materials for Happiness.
In short, you’ve mastered content.
You’ve learned that to each one of
us women in this life is meted out
the materials for happiness; it is
only our wisdom or stupidity in han
dling them that makes the differ
ence. The successful writer,
actress, heiress of course MAY be
happy. But she has to be happy on
exactly the same terms that are
available to you." She has to have
love, and a chance for service, and
books and appetite and deep sleep.
And often these are all sacrificed
before she has discovered how per
ishable is fame, how brief is youth,
how little money can buy! While
you are climbing up the scale to
the forties and fifties, she is descend
ing to depths that you never knew.
Face-lifting and cocktails and mem
ories of past splendors don’t help
her; nobody remembers and nobody
cares.
Develop what you have. The chil
dren, the back yard, the possible
picnic and camping sites within
reach, the libraries, the swimming
beaches. Develop hobbies, activi
ties, interests. They don’t spring
into being full-grown. But you will
be pleasantly surprised to see how
fascinating they can become.
Develop Jim, too. As you grow
to be a contented middle-aged and
someday old woman, take him along
with you. Make the fifties happy
years, and the sixties even better.
The woman who does that will soon
find herself in a position to pity the
very stars and glamour girls and
celebrities that she is envying today.
And most important of all, develop
yourself. Try to achieve that peace
of mind which can only follow from
a life well lived, because as eagerly
as you are now looking ahead to
new thrills, in your old age you will
look back upon the pleasures that
have been yours.
