CUT OUT THE ALIBIS. By Dr. Charles Stelzle, Executive Di- rector Good Neighbor League. It’s easy to prove an “alibi” when the job should have been done—but alibis never get you anywhere—they are generally framed up to prove that you “weren’t there.” When the roll is called, they won't ask you where you DIDN'T go, and what you DIDN'T do, but what did you “get across.” The difference between a rut and a grave is just about six feet, but some of us don't have to go the six foot limit to be counted among the dead ones. Most of us look for ruts, roads already traveled by others, so the way will be smoother and easier. But the man who gets there first and wins the prize is he who blazes the way as a pioneer. One and one don't make two—when you add things that aren’t alike. The belief that it does is responsible for most of the trouble in the world to- day. No one man ever exactly equal- led any other man—we're all different in ability and character—but some peo- ple want to put us all in the same mould and treat us all alike and make us all live in the same way. They do not allow for individuality—and usual- ly they want to keep the best of us in the same class with the worst of us. When you see the sign, “out of or- der,” its a challenge for somebody to get busy—not a certificate of exemp- tion. It means that something needs to be righted—not slighted. Sometimes it requires the whole force to straight- en things out. And this is one of the times. It's usually the little things that most men fall down in—in the day by day tests of character. Whether you can get on with the others and give credit where it belongs, and speak in an even fone when there's provocas tion to shout in anger, and whether You are giving to others what you ex- pect of them—an absolutely square deal—these are some of the things 50¢ Down 50¢ A Week State and Municipal Police Calls.

If anyone tells you that there's no need to become a better worker, a clearer thinker and a stronger citizen, because some time soon there's going to be a social revolution which will usher in the millenium, you can make up your mind that he’s either a liar or a fool—for no matter what kind of a social system may develop, there will still be need for big, brainy men— and brains will continue to rule the world so long as the world shall last. Science Puts Out Tongue At Horn-Blowing Drivers WASHINGTON.—Science supplied motorists with an answer to the horn- tooting motorist who thinks he owns the highways. David O. Wilson, of Santa Monica, Calif., has invented a tongue sticker-outer calculated to express full contempt for tooters. The United States patent office gave the invention its approval. It is a combination of a light, a hern and a protruding tongue to be attached to the rear of the car. The face of the device resembles a clown mask. It is operated from the front seat by means of a button on the dashboard. A light illuminates the features of the mask, the mouth opens and a tongue is protruded in an insultingly realistic manner. The horn blows with as close an imitation of a razz- ing noise as one could desire. FIRST WEEK Tom Mooney’s first week of free- dom, after twenty-two years in San Quentin prison in California, proved more tumultous than his most enthu- siastic partisans could have foreseen. No European dictator returning from a triumph could have been greeted with more acclaim than was shown by the hosts of organized labor at the great celebrations in Sacramento and San Francisco. And no celebrity with a long developed technique of show- manship could have conducted him- self with more graciousness than the released man showed. That Mooney had indeed become a symbol to thousands of workers thro- oug the years of his imprisonment was manifest in the emotionalism with which he was greeted by one of the greatest crowds that ever assembled in San Francisco and with innumer- able incidents during a week crowd- ed with visits and union meetings, where individuals embraced him with tears in their eyes. Already Mooney seems to have ach- ieved something of his purpose to re- unite both wings of organized labor, TREE OF LIFE PRE NEW YORK-—This is a picture of a 60-foot statue being carved from an elm tree at South Windsor, Conn., _by Lawrence Tenney Stevens.

One of Mooney’s first acts was to join an AFL picket line at a retail store, and to donate half of the $10 received by him from San Quentin prison on his discharge to an AFL un- ion and the other half to a CIO union —both on strike. “I shan’t go east until we have got- ten Warren K.

COUNTY LEGISLATORS AWAIT ACTION AT HARRISBURG Legislators from Cambria County have submitted at least seven bills, it was announced, for action by the Gens eral Assembly at Harrisburg. H. G. Andrews, representative of the city district, fulfilled a campaign pledge and moved for the repeal of the 1937 “Gas Gadget” Act, whose ti= tle he coined. Another Andrews’ bill would limit eligibles for dependent childrens’ aid to those whose mothers make $60 a month or less. Albert L. O'Connor, assemblyman from the second district, had at least five bills before the house. Altogather, some 60 separate pieces of legislation, embracing a wide variety of subjects, aside from five emergency assistance measures, are awaiting consideration, O'Connor has submitted a bill that would amend the state constitution and make the office of attorney gener- al elective, providing for election of that official, auditor general and state treasurer. These officials, under O'- Connor's plan would be elected in the gubernatorial contest, between general elections. Other O'Connor bills would allow additional inheritance tax deductions, amend the constitution by eliminaing the office of county surveyor and set up county boards of viewers of three members, one a lawyer, the chairman eine $1,800 a year and the others O’Connor also moved to increase the salaries of teachers and other profess ional employees of third and fourth class districts, which are not portected by the same laws, regulating larger districts. The county legislator’s bill on this subject would increase minimum salaries to $1,500, $1,800 and $2,100 for supervisors, and $1,200, $1,500 and $1,800 for teachers. MRS.
