Psalms 10:2 Affliction is the school in which gnat virtues are acquired in which great characters are formed. Hannah More. Spring Flood By Reg Manning Arizona Republic Staff Artist Encouraging Business Efficiency BY fiLENN FRANK (Copyright. 1939, for Arizona Republic) For The Entertainment And Diversion Of The Qualified Voters Of America zji tATBST UU wam JL WHAT A OS- ly One of the most unfortunate, and I am sure unintended, results of New Dal policies has been a slowing down of the urge to improve productive process The whole cry has been in the direction of cutting down on production, raising prices, stabilizing things.

This has jutst about killed the old drive in agriculture for new and better methods of farm production. And the driving force of Induitr' has been dampened. The end result has been a spirit of defeatism all along the line. Why spend millions on research if Ihe more we produce the worse off seem to be, and if government is forever playing for scarcity and higher prkos- All this fashion of putting the brakes on our productive capacity simply coi not make sense. We must get our stride again, keep the laboratory lights burning through the night in a search for greater and greater efficiency.

fe" a But in the past little business and little industry have been unable to effoH research as the big industries have been able to afford it. It is estimated that there are 1,700,000 concerns in the United States that ar too small to afford research organizations. These 1,700,000 concerns, which employ less than 400 men ea-h, employ 57 per cent of the employes subject to the old age pension tax, and account approximately half of the payrolls. Again referring to Mr. Slichter's recent "Atlantic" article, he suggests that the federal government and the state universities might work out arrangements so that these smaller industries can have research service on special problems at cost.

When I was the executive head of the University of Wisconsin, we worked out a plan for just such a service on a somewhat different basis. We called together the various units of certain small industries, whose fortunes were going none too good, such as 200 gray iron foundries that come t0 my mind as I write, and, with the university bearing half the expense and 'the various units of a given field bearing the other half, we set a young scientist to work on the special problems of production or distribution that seemed to be holding the small units back. The federal government was not in the picture. The scheme worked. I shall describe it in more detail some other day.

According to the Gallup poll of the American Institute of Public Opinion. Vice-president Garner is accumulating size like a snowball rolling down a slope covered with wet snow. His present standing is but a little short of 50 per cent of Democratic sentiment in his favor as candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency next year. Notwithstanding this showing there would seem to be almost insuperable difficulties in the way of Mr. Garner, the chief of which is President Roosevelt, who is in a position to command the national Democratic machinery with a sufficient control of the public funds.

Whether or not the President is now harboring designs upon a third term, it is certain that if he is not, he would endeavor to name the candidate and that Mr. Garner's name would be nowhere near the head of Mr. Roosevelt's preferential list. It may now be recalled that the President's son Elliott some weeks ago in a broadcast from Fort Worth paid tribute to the qualities of Mr. Garner whom he, as a Texan, and the young Mr.

Roosevelt himself is. at least temporarily, a Texan, seemingly endorsed for the nomination. This provoked from Publisher John Boettiger of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, a son-in-law of the President, a rebuke of his brother-in-law who appears too recklessly to have assented to giving up a family perquisite. Speaking as a Prince Consort, having the well-being of the Roosevelt dynasty at heart. Son-in-law Boettiger deplored the bringing out of a purely family matter into vulgar discussion.

Elliott Roosevelt, replying to the open letter, said that his statement as to Mr. Gamer's occupancy of the "driver's seat" was not decisive but was simply an observation by a commentator of a political trend within the Democratic party. But. said Son-in-law Boettiger, there was no such trend within the Democratic party in Seattle or anywhere else within Post-Intelligencer influence, for, added Mr. Boettiger.

"The matter is that out here you can't stop people insisting that vour Pa has got to stand for a third term." It will be recalled that Mr. Boettiger, always as much of a New Dealer as it appears that his alliance with the Roosevelt family has made him, as a Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, was severely critical of the New Deal and the policies of Mr. Roosevelt. If, since those far-off days when Mr. Boettiger was yet untouched by the tender passion, Mr.

Roosevelt has changed his policies to meet the objections of his then critic, Mr. Boettiger alone has perceived the change. For since then Mr. Roosevelt has veered steadily to the left. Mr.

Boettiger is no longer now a slave of the Chicago Tribune in opposition to all that was high and holy in Washington; he is now one of the family, qualified to administer reproof to those members who appear to weaken in moments of stress. Or is it so? May it not be that this is a pleasant little hippodrome arranged for the entertainment of the American people to let them know that the President is giving consideration to a third term, to offset this Garner talk which is gaining volume day by day?

And those steaks had ail the tender juiciness of a rubberoid shingle. How mother labored over one ot those things! She would even beat it up to break down its toughness. But father had been doing his part he would have been down beating up the butcher. Getting gravy out of one cf those old homestead steaks was like getting cider out of a petrified apple. If there was any juice in the platter of steak and potatoes it came from the potatoes.

We used to complain that there must he people who ate meat, using oniy their front teeth, but we got nowhere. Good meat was just out of reach. But now- science has stepped in. Ultimately science conquers ail, but it has been stymied for centuries by the American dinner. Cease sharpening the knife and reinforcing the table legs! Meat will now become ripe almost as swiftly as it is torn off the steer.

But the old corner butcher is a slave to habit. He won't take easily to the idea of juicy steaks for all at low rates. We await news that he has been caught using suntan oil on a carcass of beef to keep the violet rays out. PLANET PORTRAIT The world proceeds To fume and gloat And works and plans To cut its throat.

HASKIN Treatment Other Than Medical Is Often Helpful Another Horseman Is Riding The Aloofness Of The Soviet TENDER MEAT BY VIOLET RAYS Troop movements, annexations, invasions and war threats have probably caused many readers to skip a recent item of much more importance than anything out of Europe. It is the announcement from the Mellon Institute that the days of tough steaks are over. No longer 'will the ancient custom of hanging meats for months to make them tender be necessary. Henceforth it will be done by ultraviolet rays in 48 hours. The Mellon Institute announces that the sensational discovery will make it possible to bring tender cuts to the masses for the first time in history.

Presently you will be going to the butcher's and ordering "two pounds of ultraviolet roast beef" or "three pounds of electric-lamp steak." And in our restaurants will be heard the stern order, "Waiter, take this steak back! It's never had the proper chemical treatment." The days of tough meat are ended and it marks a great day for the American home and more especially for the diner-outer. It always required careful shopping and a fat purse to get a nice juicy steak. The average American seldom one that had been "hung" eight months, although he met hundreds ot butchers and restaurant owners who should have been "hung" longer. President Roosevelt divides the American people into two classes: those who have money and those who have not. But the proper classification is those who have enjoyed tender meat and those who have just gone on wearing their teeth down.

"Amerimn Nicknames' says: 1795, Robert Morris bought "an ientire block of land in Philadelphia, i lying between Seventh and 'Eighth, and Chestnut and Walnut streets. Having been considered the richest man in America, he proposed to erect for himself a magnificent residential mansion. Major Pierre Charles IEnfant, the fam Do You Remember? Everyday Poems By Barton Pouge Rigid Enforcement Is The Solution The Soviet press confirms a statement by Stalm in a notable address three weeks ago that Russia is not to be counted upon by the European "democracies" to imperil its fingers by pulling chestnuts out of the European conflagration, and so, for the present at least, must decline to become an arc in the "encirclement" of Naziism and Fascism. There is. of course, the possibility that the United States may be made to take the place which the Soviet declines.

The circle, when completed, would be found to consist of Great Britain and France, pieced out by such fragmentary objects as Rumania. Poland and such other small states as may believe themselves to have been brought under the Nazi threat. There are conceivable events that might change the attitude of Russia. Among them, evidence of a design of Hitler to intrude upon Russian territory. There is no doubt that at one time he entertained such a design against the Russian Ukraine.

But that seems to have been, if not ahandoned. at least laid by for a more convenient season. But such changes as have since occurred in the European situation would now seem to make persistence by Hitler in any design against Russia evidence of a hopeless insanity on the verge of an utter collapse. The British position has been weaker, so far as concerns its reliance upon the support of the smaller, threatened states, ever since the fragments of the Munich pact w'ere scattered by the winds. To them has been no less than Napoleon a century and a quarter ago declared it to be.

No smail weak state lying in the path of the Nazi tornado can look with confidence to the two great European "democracies'" for aid in a moment of extreme peril. Russia could have nothing to gam from an alliance with the two democracies. Though the Hitler dictatorship might be brought to an earlier end by a Soviet alliance, at the same time, there would be an indefinite postponement of the World Revolution to which Communism has hopefully looker! torwarrt from the time of Marx.

How deep ran a submarine go, and how deep has it gone? (.. C. A. A submarine usually operates at a depth of 100 to 150 feet. After firing torpedoes submarines often submerge to 50 or 75 feet and then observe results.

Modern submarines can go to a depth of 175 or 200 feet. As far as we have been 'able to ascertain the greatest depth obtained by a submarine is 285 feet although such vessels have been know to reach a depth of 300 feet unintentionally. Q.

wliere he has pr-cepted a position as editor of the Las Vegas Optic. There under way in this country tw movements that seem to be diametrically opposed to ech other, though both have to do with One movement proposes to bring the United states a specified number of refugee children from Germany. The other movement seeks to prevent a'! immigration for Ihe next several years. Yet proposals have merit. A measure has been introduced in congress the Wagner-Rogers bill which would authorize the Non-Sectarian Committee for German Refugee Children to bring in approximately children thi? year and a'oout the same number in lPlA These refugees are fn he placed in homes in this country sf the a-t authorizing the migration is passed.

Those who understand what the anti-Semitic rrpvement in Germany has dr.e to the children of non-Aryan descent approve of the proposal. Sen. Roper H. Kevr.oM of North Carolina is the sponsor of the proposal to place a strict embargo on all immigration during the present crisis Europe. He has not jet introduced a bill to carry out the proposal though he has announced his intention to do so.

His objective is a worthy one. but should it be enacted all refugee children from Germany would be barred, and the humanitarian aim to furnish at least 20.000 of them with homes would have to be abandoned. Senator Reynolds ha strong talking point for his proposal. All the nations of Europe, and particularly Germany, have a desire to dump their impoverished, unwanted political minorities in this country. The propagandists supporting this movement are already at 'work trying to enlist the sympathies of the people of this country in making it possible to tear down our immigration bars and allow this outpouring of undesirables from Europe to be effected.

Yet we wonder whether it would r-e wise to enact a law that wou'd prohibit all immigration for a period of time in order to prevent this country from becoming a dumping ground for impoverished aliens.
