So it begins to appear that there will have to be revision of the agricultural ag-ricultural program npon which the administration has worked so desperately des-perately and upon which it has ex pended so much money. The Agricultural department is authority for the statement that the drouth already has removed any probability of a wheat surplus. To this shortage has been added unfavorable conditions abroad that have resulted in a general world total of wheat probably as much as 400,000,000 bushels below what is held to be an average yield. This is happening Just when many of the wheat-growing nations of the world were approaching the point of a binding agreement that would hold down the quantity of wheat entering enter-ing Into export trade and thereby force crop reduction. But the authorities au-thorities tell me the movement for an International agreement natural ly is going to die. There being no dire necessity for it, the interest behind it will lag, I suppose there will be few, If any, further moves made on it until years of bumper crops again are upon ns and a gU gantle surplus of world wheat stares farmers in the face. That is usually the case. It likely will be some weeks be fore the Agricultural department can formulate a definite course of action as to revision of the crop reduction plans. President Roosevelt's return Is eagerly awaited among some of the "brain trust" who Brain Trusl'n are variously re- Little War f or'ed ln ington as desir ing the Chief Executive to Inter vene in their own little war. There are a number of minor disputes taking shape among the professors and the so-called young liberals, and I am informed in what I believe be-lieve to be authentic quarters that anti-administration agents are fo menting more trouble among the group that has served as such Important Im-portant advisers to the President during his term. Obviously, none will admit it, but there Is every reason to believe that some keen Individuals who are not in sympathy with the New Deal are spreading poison among the brain trusters about ach other. The natural re sult of this, of course, Is to cause the young liberals to be suspicious of each other and that kind of suspicion sus-picion nearly always is followed by an open break. The stories in current circulation in Washington are that some of the brain trusters are at outs with Ray mond Moley, for a time the No. 1 brain trust man with the President but now the editor of a magazine, and that several of those still in the administration are saying on kind things about others who still are serving here. It is a situation not without Its humorous side, and from having seen such factions de velop before in the government, imagine this one will turn out to be a real comedy. . The economic events of the las4 few weeks Indicate to some Wash - ington observers See New Crisis that a new crisis is approaching In ta that one of i. ,V the depression. August Is always a dull month. Sep tember is little better from a busi ness standpoint After that things usually pick up. To get through the next six weeks with drouth de vastating millions of acres and strikes and riots and military rule and uncertainties among business Interests as to what the New Deal of the future holds, there necessarily neces-sarily must be a steady hand and calm judgment On top of this, of course. Is the disturbed international internation-al situation, and it is not helping the weary old world to settle down. Since the kind of government management of business that we have had has not taken ns out of the depression, the course immediately immedi-ately becomes problematical. Shall we have more of the same, or expand ex-pand it beyond Its present acope, or shall we retrace our steps and go back to the old days? In the midst of this turbulent condition, the slimy head of inflation infla-tion of the currency again Is arising. aris-ing. Strangely enough, there are many men now talking about Inflation Infla-tion seriously when all of their knowledge and all of their training ordinarily would make of them the bitterest of antagonists to such a course on the part of the federal government Some of them have been ln Washington In recent weeks and I gathered from the ar guments they advanced that they sincerely believed Inflation would do good for the country as a whole, and for themselves ln particular, U8 BEVERLY HILLS Well all I know is Just what I read in the papers, pa-pers, or else. Well sir I started in last week to tell you about a trip I had a tew weeks ago, where I Just started ln to go over into Texas, Well I got there and had a great time at the ranch. But I only had a short time before I left tor our trip around the world, so I decided to go on over into Oklahoma and see my sister and folks. So grabbed an evening plane out of Amarillo. I had just come in there that morning on one from the Coast Then on into Wichita, Wichi-ta, Kans. Got a little sleep that night, then down to Tulsa in Oilman Mable's plane, a fast Lock-head. Lock-head. He used to trade and sell mules. Now he has more holes in the ground than a gopher, and the funny part of It, the things got oil spouting out of em. They got one field called "Mable Field." But its not Just Maby, its really there. First landed ln Tulsa, but I told em to go on over to Claremore. Thats 28 miles away, and say you know what Claremore is doing T Putting up a fine hangar. A rock one. No ship is golnj to break out of It if they ever get em in it You see we got a fine military school there, Oklahoma Military School, a state school. And they are going to have an aviation course of instruction, so thats how we got the hangar. We already al-ready got a fine polo team there at the school, the best one in the Mid-1 die West, and now we going to have us some aviators. Claremore is booming. Dry and hot when I was there, but its that way everywhere. Well went up 12 miles north of there to where I was born, at our old ranch. Looked mighty good. They was threshing oats, and the women folks was cooking for tho thresher. I got a niece there that was raised in a city, then married my nephew, a real cowhand and darned if she aint the best cook in the Rogers County. Get a city gal if you want a country wife. For these old country gals have had enough of it They are headed for the pavement. Cities are full of country folks, now all the city folks are trying to got little places ln the country. Caught the passenger line out of Tulsa for Chicago that afternoon. Then changed for Cleveland, then for Washington, and iere I was in Washington at four A. M. after leaving leav-ing Oklahoma along about three in the afternoon. There Just aint any limit to where you can eat lunch at and then et dinner. Washington looked pretty dopey. Take all those old Senators and Congressman out of there and you have removed a big comedy element, ele-ment, and a lot of life. The rascals are all at home electioneering to get back. This old politics is not such a cinch as Its cracked up to be. Had a fine visit with the Russian Ambassador. Speaks good english. I had met him in Tokio when he was Russia's Ambassador to Japan. Mighty accomodating little fellow, I wanted to fix so I could send my daily dispatches back from there every day. Well then I flew that night up to N. Y. Now get this. I have only left Los Angeles three days before, and I have spent one day in Texas, one in Oklahoma, and one in Washington. Washing-ton. Only in New York a part of a night, but saw my little co-starring partner. Dorothy Stone, in Marylnn Millers place In "As Thousands Cheer." And was she a hit Clever e-lrla those Stone Girls. Paula in vaudeville with a great dancing act, Carol a big hit In a new play "The Sparrow" and Fred Just walking around beaming. He met me at the Theatre, and we all went to Dinty Moores after the show. Thats the extent of my night life in New York. I want Fred to play "Ah Wilder ness" on the road through the Mid die West next year. (He could do It great) and to big houses. Let the yonng ones do the dancing, just sit in a chair and talk Eugene O'Neills lines, you cant go wrong. Hope he does it Well out at daylight to fly to Maine to see my Mary. Here I had started out Just Up-to-Date Ideas for Decorating Rough Wall In the summertime persons who delight In having living quarters totally different from those occupied flurlng the winter, often prefer to aave their cottages nnplastered. and there are other families who find the cost of the plain board walls so much less than plastered, that for Konomlcal reasons the walls are left in this unfinished state. But in neither instance does It mean that the walls are left bare. It simply signifies that the treatment Is In ac-rord ac-rord with the scheme of the interior Bnlsh. The spaces between beams offer excellent opportunities for wall hangings of a crude type. There are fascinating Mexican fiber and grass pieces of charming crudenesa, yet with genuine artistic feeling which ire well suited to some homes of the kind described. Also there are hangings hang-ings of homespun linen, heavy, and coarse, on which designs are done in coarse cotton, and braid and tape are also introduced for latticed flower flow-er pots, baskets, etc., from which the broadly worked stalks, foliage, and flowers are growing or standing out gaily. Burlap in natural color could be used for the foundation, should the home decorator decide to make such a wall hanging. Play bills,, and travel posters are often sulllclently artistic to be attractive at-tractive decoration for unplastered beamed walls. These travel posters may be from a collection made during dur-ing trips abroad or across the coun try, or they may be from some tour ists' agency. For seashore cottages, posters of huge ocean liners plowing their way through the waves are appropriate ap-propriate and, with the bright colors In which they are portrayed, they make brilliant spots of color on dull wood walls. Persons who have a fondness for the theater can sometimes get hold of theatrical posters, or play bills, as they are termed. Some of these are Whs PS? to go to Texas, and wound up in Maine.

GAINS RELIEF FROM "RHEUMATIC" PAINS Inventions to Forward Period of Prosperity The stage la set for the noblest prosperity ln all history, saya a writer in an eastern magazine. Thousands of inventions await us. A queer new tube is ready to displace tens of millions of dollars' worth of electrical equipment and cut in half the cost of transmitting power. Sugar added to cement more than doublet its strength; thus tomorrow's tomor-row's buildings will rise more cheaply cheap-ly and better. Strange alloys are on hand for reducing re-ducing the weight of trains, autoa and airplanes. Automotive engineers fay that, if the producers wished, they could double the lives of their cars at a slight Increase of cost The list of precious Improvements on hand but still unused is almost endless and infuriating. The reason they are not available now Is that nobody can be sure that people stand ready to foot the bill. Tho art of making things has been perfected, chiefly through advances in physics and chemistry. Its techniques tech-niques are those of the engineer. But the art of analyzing people's wishes and then influencing them to use things Is still on the level of Dr. V. E. Fitch Explains why Natural Mineral Water Often Helpful In Chronic Ailments Mrs. II.

Scientific and medical medi-cal discoveries and research in the last few years, however, are penetrating penetrat-ing these secrets of Nature, so that now medical men have a new under standing of the reasons for the power of natural mineral water to relieve suffering. One o these reasons is what is known as secondary mineral ization, by which is meant that not only the predominating chemical con ttituenls of a mineral water are of aid but also what are known as the secondary mineralsthose present in infinitesimal Quantities, The very fact of their being present in this way causes them to have a much more powerful systemic effect than if they were there in larger quantities.
