President Roosevelt condemned the WPA pre- iling-wage strikes by announcing “you can't strike What'll really stop them ugh, is the fact that Administrator Harrington is frimming the rolls by thousands to meet appropria- tion. Many have been dropped and there will be more to follow, Fine points of law may be arguable but you can't argue against facts like that Quit- ting their jobs in the face of an impending 650.000 layoff, the strikers aren't strikers at all but merely volunteers in the army of the unemployed. 4 .

The Legislature has just presented Governor Salstonstall the largest appropriation bill In the history of the Bay Btate The taxpayers are up in arms and demanding that he refuse to sign the measure Wisconsin and sev- eral other states that went Republican last fall on the most solemn promises of Republican economy are having the same difficulties In showing the na- tional Republican party how to practice what it has been preaching since it lost out In Washington. Many town: and small communities since the depression and the widespread loss of property, has its problem of “old houses,” hard to rent and still harder to sell. A real estate man says it would be easier if owners and real estate dealers would learn from automobile dealers. When a dealer gets hold of a used car, he overhauls it and spends a little money on it. When it looks all right and runs all right, somebody will buy it. But too many people with used homes to sell try to dodge trouble and expense by selling them as they stand. It won't work. If the old homes are to be sold in competi tion with the new ones, they must be priced lower. They must have the furnace brought up to standard, the broken window glass replaced, the marred floors cared for, the defective plumbing fixed, the neces- sary paper and paint applied, and so on. Then they are ready to compete In price, decency and com- fort with the new houses. There may be fine trees, flower beds, gardens, and so on, too, which when put into good condition will appeal to many a buy- sp » - - od It might be well for all licensed places holding amusement permits to keep in mind that after Aug- ust 1st dancing and other amusement must cease at the hour when the sale of liquor and malted brew beverages close, In other words closing time will include both the amusement features and the sale of leensed drinks. Here we are in the midst of "Dog Days” and the cool weather has made us forget all about the mid- summer occurrence. Its superstitions will be in sea- son, at any rate. The most widespread is that it is the season when dogs are most likely to contract rables and go mad and that is the reason for the name. There is no foundation of fact for this be- lief, and more cases of rabies occur in early spring and late fall than during mid-summer. Another pre- valent superstition is that snakes go blind during dog days. There is some foundation for this belief, as temporarily impaired vision occurs in snakes when they are sloughing their skins in summer, but the is when they slough during other SEASONS, same true wems to have become the great Even Gov- Picketing, that outdoor sport, seems to know no limits ernor James summer home on a lake was the re- cent object this industrial siege.

Eleven thousand miles of tree strips, which means 127 million trees, now protect a multi- tude of farms from soil and crop destroying dust storms. The trees also act as snow holders. The scientists figure that every such snow retainer is equivalent to from five to ten inches of rainfall These dreaming theorists put in eighteen-inch seedlings, which are now elms and cottonwoods, ete, thirty to thirty-five feet tall, in the soll where trees would not grow, according to the declarations of those whose creed is that the President is always wrong The farmers estimate a tree strip as worth $1.- 000 to a twenty-acre farm. Ah, but the cost? Well, the cost to the Government amounts to about four cents per tree. Every big dust storm they have had in that part of the country caused damage more than the whole cost of the linear forests. Isn't that a terrible boondoggling? It is so appalling that the farmers all along the line, who were originally taught that trees could not thrive there, are now clamoring for more and more trees. Presently the term Dust Bowl will be as archaic as “The Great American Desert” of the ancient maps of the United States. Another myth of the objectors to the New Deal way of handling things concerns the indolence of the WPA worker. Here is an excerpt from an article in the North American Review, by Donald Bachart, a writer who by stress of circumstances, became a shoveler on one WPA project. He writes: Concerning Shovel Leaners “And oh, ves, about our leaning on picks and shovels. . . . Our pick-digging requires an excavation exactly nine inches deep. The preliminary digging is done after the manner of constructing a small trench, and the final excavations must be graded evenly by the men with the shovels. Now when your pick wielder is tearing his laborious way through layers of mixed sod, gravel, slag, paving brick, as- sorted clays and the like, there is nothing more read ily available for his partner, the shovel expert, than to stand by and lean on his shovel, which is simpler than balancing the shovel on his cranium or his nose after the manner of a vaudeville juggler, “... And if you hadn't whizaed past that same trench at such a dizzy rate of motoring speed, you might have witnessed the unholy spectacle of the pick wielder whom you saw at work pause after his pick had torn into the earth for the twently-seve enth time, and lean indolently on his pick while the shovelman went to work.” Of course, the road-bullding could be accom- pick and shovel men on the dole, you find that the discrepancy in what the Government has to ex- pend, and what private industry would do it for, is i Dhar THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. 1 Orrick CAT “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” — THE | HER SAD FATE-R There was a young mald from Decatur, Who was known as a red-hot potatur To the jungles she went On mission work bent, Where a dozen fat savages atur Temperature Test An anxious mother wants ture of a baby's bath to know how to properly test the tempera- You fill the tub with water and put the baby in.
