Washington May Help Where States Fail It is probably true that some of the most far-reaching changes in national life are those which get under way unnoticed un-noticed and take shape without anyone having worked consciously con-sciously for them. Prof. Charles E. Merriam, head of the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago, suggests that such change now may be starting in relations of city governments gov-ernments to governments of state and nation. Writing in the current issue of Public Management, Prof. Merriam points out that the city is coming into far closer Velationship these days with Washington than with its own state capital. The city's importance as a political unit has increased in the depression years, and Washington's Washing-ton's sway over internal affairs likewise has increased. The state capital, om the other hand, has had a progressively smaller part to play, especially in connection with affairs of cities. This, he remarks, is largely because the chief problems prob-lems afflicting cities lately have been national problems, which require, national action for their solution. Cities have gone s-hort of cash, they have needed to launch public works and slum" clearance projects, they have needed huge sums to support jobless citizens; and in almost every case they have turned to Washington for help, and not to their own state capitals. . At the ame time, state governments have been slow to give the cities the relief that they might. Metropolitan districts dis-tricts cannot form unified governments, to eliminate expensive expen-sive waste and lost motion, without state consent. This consent seldom is forthcoming. There is rural jealousy of urban domination, there is intricate trading for petty favors, there is frequently undue consideration in the statehouse for special vested interests. "The state," remarks Prof. Merriam, "neither will grant autonomy to the cities nor will it assume the burden of administrative supervision over them. The state neither will rule nor permit anyone else to rule over metropolitan regions." There are innumerable fields in which city activities could tie in neatly with a federal pattern in education, in health, in public works, in public welfare services, in handling han-dling of interests of business and labor. Do we stand today on the verge of a great shift which vastly will diminish importance of the state government and itrengthen ties between city hall ami national capital? It is quite possible, and it might be a very good thing for rvervone concerned. OUT OUR WAY BY WILLIAMS Burned Papers Former Postmaster General Walter Brown would seem to be in a spot where some sort of explanation is due. A senate committee is told by his former stenographer that he ordered postoffice files, containing data on ocean and air mail subsidies, burned just before he left office last March. .' Brown denies it, asserting that only his private correspondence corre-spondence was put in the firej In either case, the sought-for sought-for files seem to be missing. Here is a situation that needs a whole lot of daylight. If a former cabinet member destroyed important government govern-ment documents just before going out of office, the country has a right to know all boat it. If on the other hand he did nothing of the kind, and the important documents just happened to get mislaid, that fact also should be substantiated. Either way, Brown would seem to be. due for an appearance appear-ance before the senate committee. " " " U- MO. MORE CLOUT" 1 iMOy r A V INVENTING! W HIM -MiM lir- -Q. A 6 INGLE.

Mr. Margola, .w;io once fought valiantly for the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti and was "dropped" from the Harvard law faculty for his pains, now claims that Babe Ruth's gifts to the kiddies are in violation of the fair trade pract- ice provisions of the oil code. Margold has brought Federal Court action to prevent further giving away of bats, gloves or baseballs. MONETARY MERRY-GO-ROUND .4 Most of the $4,000,000,000 in gold which now becomes nearly $8,000,000,000 is located in the New York and Philadelphia Federal Fed-eral Reserve Banks. . . . The Treasury has been working for months on installing vast subterranean sub-terranean vaults below its floor to house the gold supply of the country, however it develops that much of the gold will be moved to Washington at least for the time being . . Now that devaluation devaluat-ion is a fact, the foreign nations which once yearned for it, are singing another song . . France, especially, is worried by the prospect pros-pect of American funds going back home to taxe advantage of the stabilized monetary situation In the preparation for the re- Maybe the Treasury Dep artment Ought To Try It turn of the dollar, some of" Mor-genthau's Mor-genthau's men have been working on changes in securities act. They want a freer flotation of bonds when money loosens up . . . Some of those who oppose them, such as fearless Jim Landis, Federal trade commission, think that with an easy money market the safeguards safe-guards of the securities Act become all the more necessary . . . Word from the west is that the higher price of silver may bring disaster to the lead mines. This is because silver is produced as a by-product of lead. And if silver is produced in large quantities, quan-tities, lead may become a glut on the marke, suffer a price slump. . . . No matter what the future effecfa) of dollar devaluation, one political effect is definite. Roosevelt's Roose-velt's dollar juggling has absolutely absol-utely pulled the punch of the printing press money crowd. They can get no one to listen to them now . . . The most violent disagreements dis-agreements in the entire Roosevelt Roose-velt administration occurred over monetery policy, and yet advocates advo-cates of the two extremes actually act-ually came close to agreeing in principle. Agreement on execution execut-ion was their trouble. Both sides agreed that the national and individual in-dividual debt burden was too high. But where conservatives wanted to cut debts 4n half, the radicals wanted to double the nation's money supply. The effect was exactly ex-actly the . same . . . The president presi-dent stood with the latter. He reasoned that in playing poker it was a lot easier to increase the value of the chips, than to write down their value.

It also has a heart and circulation adapted to double respiration of air an d water. It comes to the surface regularly for air. As the stream in which the lung fish lives dries up, the lung fish burrows into the soft iaiid and points its head upward. Then it gives off a slimy sub- stance that envelopes the fish in j cocoon-like covering. From the .nouth of the fisha tube extends upward, and from this tube it continues to get air even after, the mud is baked as hard as adobe. There, in this petrified condition, condi-tion, this fish stays for months. When the hard rains come, thq mud is dissolved and the fish emerges, well and able to swim about as usual. Scientists at New York university uni-versity have been able to keep one of these speciments alive three and one-half years in its ..,jd-encrusted shell.

PHONE 459 For Quick Snappy Service Do You Know? These Curious Things DO YOU KNOW A Fontainbleau, a small town in France near the forest of the same name, 32 miles southeast of Paris, owes its celebrity to its palace, a favorite residence of French monarchs. This palace, in, a forest of 42,500 acres, is indeed an historic landmark. In this grey pile of Sacacenic, Tuscan and Greek architecture, Philip IV, Henry III and Louis XIV signed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Peter the Great visited here; Louis XV espoused the daughter of Stanislaus, King of Poland, in this palace. Pope Pius- was confined here for 1J months, and Napoleon made it his favorite residence. It was here that he signed his abdication in 1814. The forest became famous dur ing the 19th century as the resort of many famous Frencn painters of the modern schools, including Rousseau, Corot, Diaz and Millet.
