The Educational Value of the CCC
The education work being done in the civilian
conservation camps has been described by Leon W.
Rogers, educational director tor the Eight corps area
states, as "the greatest adult education movement
any government has ever undertaken.'*
This program of education for the camp enrollees.
Mr. Rogers pointed out. has the principal character
istics of a great folk school movement. It is made
up of the subjects and activities of interest to the
enrollees—the program is not imposed upon them
by some superior authority; participation Is volun
tary"
The states embraced In the areas whose C C C.
camp education work Is under Mr Rogers' direction
Include Texas, Oklahoma. Colorado, Wyoming. An
aona and New Mexico. There are 129 regular ramps
In this area, with enrollment of slightly over 25.000
men.
Seven out of every ten of these men. or 18.534. were
voluntary participants in regular camp educational
work during March, he reported.
The educational program is divided into three
phases; Academic, vocational and recreational. The
academic work runs all the way from first grade to
roKcge courses. In one month, there were 340
youths learning to read and write. Many enrollees
are securing high school and college credlta by the
work being done.
There is planned vocational instruction during
working hours. Thear were 4939 enrollees were re
ceiving systematic training as part of their work
More than 30 occupations were Included.
The recreational program includes courses of in
struction in subjects of especial interest to the youths
such as hobby crafts, athletic activities and sports
The work la being carried on in these states with
an Instructional staff of 1.398 teachers technicians
instructors and leaders.
Legislature Lost Motion
Already it is obvious that several hundred bills, on
which members have labored in the vmtmg. in com
mittee hearing, in revision and perfecting, will die
If the regular sr* ion is adjourned May 7. as now
•rents likely.
Members have worked faithfully in committee
hearings to 11 or 12 o clock night after night They
have labored on sub-committees in diligent drafting
of acceptable measures
It is a tremendous lows— not that a lot of new
laws fail to be passed—but that so much work should
be directed in vain, and that there is no resl selec
tive machinery to pick out the measures that are
needed and let those die which are useless

Relief From Noise
Harlingen city council ha* declared 'sound'* truck*
a nuisance under the terms of a city ordinance al
ready in effect, and has Issued warning that In the
future any operator of such truck will be dealt with
according to it* provisions.
As in Brownsville, scores of Harlingen residents,
especially in the downtown section, had complained
vigorously that these trucks were not only a first
class nuisance, but seriously interfered with the op
erations of their business.
8ound trucks have their place, in and around a
carnival or a circus, and in the carnival or circus
parade. In those connections, their advertising value
is good
But when they parade up and down business
streets, park for minutes at a time in front of retail
establishments, they are a nuisance of the first de
gree. Far from attracting sympathetic attention to
the product they advertise, they draw muttered Im
precations and create an absolute feeling of hostility.
We speak on the subject with real feeling, having
been subjected to the antics of one of the things
right on our deadline the other day!
Sugar Found Valuable
In Disease Fight
By DR MORRIS F1SHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical Association,
and of Hjfeia. tbo Health Magazine
Among the most valuable remedies used in medi
cine today is the simple sugar known as glucose. As
more and more studies have been made of the
chemistry of the human body, this agent has come
into aider and wider use.
Its chief value lies in the fact that it is absorbed
rapidly and requires no special digestion, going at
once into the body tissues. Furthermore, it is used
up in the tissues and places no special strain on the
organs of excretion.
There are several ways In which glucose is put In
to the body at times when needed. First, it may be
taken by mouth. Because some persons are unable
to stand the sweetness of plain glucose, it has been
recommended that it be given in the form of iced
lemonade About a half pFit of the glucose is add
ed to a quart of iced lemonade
In other cases the glucose is Injected in a weak
solution under the skin In those parts of the body
where the skin is loose. This Is. of course, more
painful than taking glucose by mouth and there is
sometimes danger of damag* to the tissues, but there
are cases in which persons are so sick that they
simply are unable to take anv food by mouth.
The third method demand* a certain amount of
technical skill. It consists of the injection of the
glucose solution directly into the vein. Large amounts
of the solution may be injected very slowly, and
when given In this manner the glucose is rapidly
utilized by the body.
There is also the possibility of injecting this solu
tion into the lower end of the intestinal tract, but
doctors still disagree as to value of this method.
To some persons glucose is irritating. Certainly
the absorption Is slow and there seems to be some
doubt as to whether enough of It is absorbed prompt
ly to have the desired effects
• • •
There are many types of disease now in which
glucose is used. These include cases of weakness,
cases in which the pancreas gland sends too much
insulin into th* body, cases of failure of the heart
tissue, and all sorts of instances in which ordinary
feeding is difficult or impossble.
In certain instances, when surgery is to be done
on a patient, glucose is given in advance of the oper
ation so that the patient will be prepared for the
wear and tear on the tissue* that follow the oper
ative procedure.
This is particularly the ease when surgery is going
to be done on stomach or intestine*.
Glucose also is used especially in cases when there
is surgery to be done on gallbladder or Uver. In such
cases the usual functions of the liver m storing sugar
and in giving it out to the tissues as needed may be
, disturbed

dictatorships have made it impossible for them to
bring their force to bear to prevent it.—William
Oreen. president of A F. L.

The World
At a Glance
BY LESLIE EICHEL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
NEW YORK. April 18 — There is
a suggestion now that congress “go
home” after enacting the appropria
tion bills.
Business interests believe that
would give an impetus to recovery-.
Indications throughout the nation
do not. however, warrant that as
sumption.
In fact, indications are to the con
trary
Unless social security and other
measures designed as “New Deal’*
are passed, there is likely u> be in
creasing unrest.
Spurious radical or progressive
movement* probably would eventu
ate into a movement resembling
Nazism in Germany— this movement,
however, to be of American design
although basically the same
Actual improvement and probable
saving of democracy may be achiev
ed only by the parsing of the most
forward-looking social and economic
measure* that the Roosevelt admin
istration and congressional leaders
can Dossiblv devtae.
The situation In the United State*
cannot at this stage be gu&ged either
by a business or a political eye
When the spending of government
money gives out. as it will within a
brief year or two. there must be ma
chinery to carry on. And the old
machinery will not work
Thus the major task ia to con
ceive a broad constructive plan that
will make it possible for people to
carry on—and carry on as a demo
cracy.
That is the situation as those who
have surveyed the situation from a
broad point of view see it.
• • •
Danger
Much of the danger lies in the
bills that have gone through con
gress as against those that have not
gone through.
The bilk that have gone through
and are going through are emergency
and military' measures that permit
usurpation of powers and manipula
tion of economic and social laws.
Those bills could react with devas
tating force on citizenry and busi
ness alike.
Whereas the bilk that have not
gone through are under the scope of
protective measures — milestones, to
a large degree, in the slow step bv
step progress toward social and ec
onomic nghts.
Furthermore, without those bills,
demagogic leaders will gam increas
ing sway—and millions of economi
cally harassed persons may tump
from the frying pan into the fire
• • •
An Old Idea
An idea has been fostered that
what is good for citirens in general
may not be good for business.
That is not a new idea
A century or so ago it was believed
, in England that if coal mines were
not permitted to work child labor in
, mines. 12 hours a day. at a few cents
a day. England would decline as an
industrial nation.
That seems absurd today.
But some of our bogevs may seem
even more absurd a century hence
• • •
Trade Needed
It is true that trade is essential to
anv sort of forward movement.
But here again the government is
destined to intrude.
Trade is dependent on money sta
bility. on the removal or certain tar
iff barriers, of barter-and-exchange
under agreements among nations
Can there be ary real trade pros
perin' unless the American govern
ment meets with other governments
to end the disastrous trade wars that
are impoverishing the people* of all
nations—and which are certain to
lead to bitter unrest?
The government that gives up or
goes home now or even pout pones
will be unprepared to meet succed
ine waves of crises. Worse, it is
likely to be stampeded later or en
tirely- trampled under
Such are the views of certain men
in Washington and New York, try
ing to look ahead in these trying
times.
• • •
Lobbies
Lobbies are more powerful now
than ever.
Big business is spending a fortune
to shape legislation.
That, however, is only one of the
lobbies.
Not all lobbies ought to be de
nounced Some interests have to
organize to protect themselves.
Even the average citizen, who
merely desires to earn and live in
peace, has to organize to protect
himself.
So runs the argument of those who
would organize a Citizens league.
• • •
Publir Works
Not everybody seems to under
stand the public w'orks <or relief* bill
—if anybody does. The question
now asked is this: "How much of
the PWA fund* will go to projects
which will be constructed bv pri
vate contract?
Then, how much of that money
will filter through contractors to
actual workers?
The reason labor worried over the
$50 a month ‘ security wage" clause
is manifest: It fears that in spite
of safeguard* given to the president
they may not be sufficient to pre
vent contractors from finding a
means of imposing that wag*.

or quit pretending He wants Section
7A dropped out of NRA and an ef
fective provision in the Wagner bill
which will actually give labor the
right to bargain collectively on a
majority rule basis.
Neither the house nor senate has
gone far enough to indicate Just
what will emerge on labor legisla
tion. Senator McCarran has drawn
up his own NRA bill and has some
support for it. He favors a law that
will authorise voluntary industrial
cooperation under government aus
pices but not compel anybody to code
up. His bill would retain Section 7A.
although McCarran says “R's not

Opinion in the House is very neb

skimmed—There is a clause in the
pending bank reform bill—which
was largely the handiwork of Fed
eral Reserve Governor Marriner S.
Eccies—that has officials of the Fed
eral Housing Administration in
somewhat of a dither.
Tills, section would permit nation

of the Federal Reserve system to

per cent on short terms.
FHA ha* a billion dollar* to guar

been coming into FHA at the rate of
about SJSOO.OOO a day—nothing to
rave about in these days of tremen

Housing Administrator Jim Mof

his job and back to private life for
some time But his intimates now say
he has about decided to stay on un
til November or December and try
; to build the volume of business up to
at least a million dollars a day.
Perhaps he will get some comfort
from the prediction of Rep. Prentiss
YT Brown <D> of Michigan—mem
ber of the House Banking and Cur

term real estate lending privileges
of the banks will be cut at least to
fiO per cent before passage.

understood to have asked for execu
tive sessions with some leading mem
bers of the committee favorable to
his request.
Senator Jim Cousens 'R> of
Michigan feels strongly on this sub
ject. He has announced that no
committee of which he is a member
shall keep its deliberations from
I the public and has served notice
that where closed hearings are held
he would take notes and then have
press conferences to reveal just
what had happened.
Senator Couzens was helpful to
the waiting world in this way when
the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill was
up some years ago. He made It a
practice every time a decision was

CHAPTER XXX
MILLICENT piloted Norman
H&pp down the corridor to
her room, closed and locked the
door. She turned to face him.
wondering where she should begin
and as she stared into his eye*
knew that It was going to be in
creastngly difficult to go through
with the plan she had decided on.
Norman Happ saw something of
what was going on in her mind. "Is
it going to be hard to tell?” he
asked.
And. with his question, she real
lied suddenly that she was going to j
tell him everything, that she was!
In such a hurry to know his reac
tions that she could hardly wait
for the words to formulate them
selves.
"I am the girl the police are
looking for for the Drlmgold mur
der.**
For a moment the full stgnlfl 1
ranee of her statement didn’t dawn
on him. Then, as be grasped what
she was telling him. his eyes
showed Incredulity.
“You can’t be,” he told her. "The
newspapers described her. She’s
blond. She’s . . .**
"No. no.” she said. "I <im the
girl. Your father knows. He took
me to a friend of bis who changed
my appearance and made me a bru
net instead of a blond. I tell you
I’m the girl. I worked for George
Drlmgold and ...”
Her voice trailed away into el
lenca. It was going to be harder
than she thought.
It took a moment for Norman
Happ’s mind to adjust itself to the
situation. Just as it bad taken a
moment to appreciate the signifl
eance of what she was telling him.
Milllcent saw his jaw set. saw
bis eyes take on a look of grim do
termination. For a moment K
seemed as though her life force
was eongealinc inside of her like
mercury dropping in a tube on a
very cold night. Then, with the
sound of his vote* she felt a surge
at happiness. He said doggedly.
“I don’t care what the facta are.
Whatever yon did. yon bad some
reason for doing it. I’m going to
stand back of yon."
• • •
cpHAT made it wonderfully easy.
^ She poured forth her story in
quick, disjointed sentences, not
sparing herself for what she called
her stupidity In running away from
the scene of the crime. Then she
went on. tailing him exactly what
had happened that night when she
had gone to the garage, taken Bob
Calse's ear and gone for the wild
ride which terminated when sne
raa oat oi gas.
When she dad finished Norman
Happ moved nearer. He said. “Yon
poor hid!"
Before she realised what had hap
pened bis arms were around her
and she was sobbing on his shoul
der. sobs which seemed to drain
worry and mental anguish from her
system
His hand patted her shoulder,
his cheek was against her hair. She
could feel the roughness of his coat
sleeve where tt circled the back of
her neck.
Slowly her sobe ceased. She drew
back so that she could look up into
his face.
“Poor kid* he said again, and
patted her shoulder. "You've * vi
a tough time."
“I guess," she said. *1t was more
of a strain than I reallied. i don’t
usually make a ery-baby of my
self."
She could see his resentment of
this criticism of herself. He ssid
impatiently. “You’re not a cry
baby and you’re not to call your
self one. You’re been through
things tew girls could hare en
dured. You’re been able to do It
because you're such a clean, eweet.
square-shooting kid.“
For a moment she saw the gleam
of affection in his eyes. She found
herself hoping he was going to take
her in his arms again. But instead
there came orer his face a look of
grim determination.
"Look here." he said, “we hare
to beat ereryone to it’*
“What do you mean?"
"I mean we have to sole# both
of these murders before the pel ice
find out about you."
“Oh. but they’re already found
out about me—or they will."
“What makes you say that?"
“Rob raise knows."
• • •
CHK saw swift Jealousy on his
face and made haste to inter
rupt his thoughts."
“No. no. I didn’t tell him. I
haven’t admitted it even yet. hut
he knows. He was suspicious of
me from the first. He wondered
why your father brought me here
and I think in some way he knew
that yonr father waa interested in
the Drimgold murder. I don’t know
whether he knew about your father
being in the building when the
murder was committed or not. At
any rate be was suspicious and be
took a photograph that had been
published in a newspaper and dark
ened the hair. The result looked
enough like me to convince him
that I’m the girl they’re looking
for."
“If he fells the polite m kill

“I think he's already told them.
He and Vera Duchenc are working
together. They wanted me to swear
to something that was false.”
“Whatr
“They wanted me to glee Vera

Then Norman Happ went on with
slow deliberation. "The man waa

“Yes."
“You're certain?"
“Yea. I felt hit wrist."
"And yon went to the bathroom
and got a drink out of hit vhieky

“Yes."

CHE could see that he waa drtv

couldn’t anticipate what it wan.
“Do you remember the brand at
whisky?" he asked.
“Why. yea" ahe said. “That waa
one of the things Detective
cbanan and Sergeant Mahoney wer^y
talking about. They said tt waa
rather expensive and that tt was
rather a peculiar type of whisky
for a chauffeur to be drinking."
“What was the brand?" be a eked
her.
“Buchanan wrote tt on a piece of
paper and handed it to Sergeant
Mahoney. I have the paper here
In the drawer."
She opened the drawer and
handed him the folded piece at

thoughtfully at tt for a few mo
