Sparks blowing—
Out of European bonfires
Begin to blow in the tinder of the

That is one trouble with fire—
I is an infections thing—
Like hate!
There's such ft feeling of security

Such a confidence in the continuing
quality—
Of processes and relations—
To which all have given their con*
sent—
That people's minds more reluc
tantly—
To face a danger coming from a
distance—
But there are Americans who re
member 1917—
How quick the flame flared, and how
hot
How hates were kindled, and how
they drew—
Swirling and churning through the
nation's life—
Snatching up boys and men—
Transforming women even into
something unsuspected—
Sweeping these across three thou
sand miles of ocean—
Into the world's greatest hell of hor
rors—
That has been done.

While democracy itself is pitied for
its weakness—

And with all the months of inves
tigating the T. V. A., not a dollar of

Why dig up relics of fossil culture

its most barbaric form is walking
abroad in Nazi Germany?
William O. Douglas, head of the
S. E. CM views with hope the better re
lations between government and busi
ness, and hopes for co-operation. Be
tween government and some business,
yet. But it would take a surgical op
eration, performed chiefly with an ax,
to get either co-operation or patriot

That it may not become America's
Frankenstein—
May not gather in its whirling
gears—
Men, women, children, whom it
should rather serve—
It is not easy, quickly to turn aside—
Minds of a nation so engrossed in
problems intricate—
To study of some foreign menace
and disorder—
While striving to attain some poise
and order here—
Reluctantly we listen to the sounds
of war and hate—
But if the challenge comes too
close—
To the core of our own central and
controlling purpose—
If the infection thrusts too strongly
in upon us—
If world anarchy and savage hates
menace our own land—
This slow democracy of labor and
productive peace—
Can be aroused, as History tes
tifies—
It then can fight, with the swift
thrust—
Of a grizzly bear, slow to begin-
But massive in momentum.
But why do the heathen rage?
And why should these Nazis imagine
a vain thing?
What gums up a personal budget?
When yearnings outstrip earnings.

PRESIDENT THANKS
TVA WORKMEN ON
BEHALF OF NATION
Chattanooga, Tenn. (ILNS).—Pres
ident Roosevelt visited the Chicka
mauga Dam across the Tennessee
River on his way to Warm Springs.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Roose
velt and by Keith Morgan, chairman
of the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
The President thanked the 2,000
workmen busy on the dam, and told
them that the work they are doing
"will cause equal progress, not only
in the Tennessee Valley, but in other
parts of the country—even in parts
of the country where there are no
rviers to put dams across. We are
doing something constructive, that will
affect the lives of our grandchildren."
"That is why I want you to know,"
he added, "that not only your govern
ment is proud of the wqrk that is being
done in the Tennessee watershed—not
only the people of Tennessee and the
other states in the watershed—but also
people all over the United States are
watching your work. That goes down
to the common labor, the day labor on
this job and extends all the way up
through the different trades and pro
fessions to the commission itself. I
am glad to have been here and glad to
have had this opportunity of thanking
you on behalf of the nation."
300 UNION MEMBERS STUDY
TO QUALIFY AS OFFICERS
New York City (ILNS).—More than
300 members of the International La
dies' Garment Workers' Union have
enrolled in the officers qualification
courses started here this fall. Under
a decision made by the last conven
tion of the I. L. G. W. U., all new can
didates for paid office must for three
months take courses which include the
history of the I. L. G. W. U., economics
of the garment industry, structure and
function of the union, and trade union
techniques.
This is the first attempt by any
union to create "civil service" condi
tions for its officers.
