' Florida Crime Points to False American Way It is hardlv straining a point to detect in the sad busi ness of that Florida kidnaping by, wistful thinking that we Americans are often guilty ol. The most astounding thing about that whole case was the calm, matter-of-fact statement made by the kidnaper after his arrest. He committed the crime, he told Mr. Hoover's G-men, because "he had been wanting the finer things of life for his wife and himself and had been unable to get steady employment." em-ployment." So, questing for the finer things, he went ahead and committed one of the most shocking crimes possible to modern mod-ern man. killed an innocent child, and landed himself in the electric chair. , rirlhis were not so monstrous it would be funny; and yet the grotesque reasoning this stupid Florida man followed can be seen as a direct outgrowth of the sort of reasoning that is common to most of us. We all want these "finer things of life," and we have a rather childish way of confusing them with the things that money can buy. Of course, a man who can't feed his family or keep a roof j)ver his head is quite justified in making some sort of economic independence the first item on his list of aspirations; but when that point is passeda civilized man must realize that the things which really make life worth living and are really worth struggling for have precious little relation to a bank balance. V , Yet that is the point we so often miss. We build our success stories around the men who have made their pile, and we aren't always very particular about the methods they used in' making irv So we blunder our way through this world under a profound pro-found misconception of what life really is all about. We set ahe pace of our entire social order by this unthinking desire to get rich. As by-products, inevitably, our society throws up morbid excrescences like this dim-brained kidnaper, who fancied that he could acquire the "finer things of life" by committing'a terrible crime. Once you assume that life's real prizes are things that can bought with 'money, you open the way for weird doings in the way of money-getting . And all of us who have exalted the dollar must share a little of the blame for the dreadful crime down in Florida. The $120,000,000 Cushion As-former- President Hoover used to say. "Let no man say hV could not have been worse." It could. The current depression has been cushioned by the payment up to midrMay of $120,000,000 in unemployment unemploy-ment benefits in 25 states. By 1939, all states will be in a position to make such payments. TWere can be no doubt that the payment of such a sum in rUtiemployment benefits has somewhat eased the strain on local relief and WPA. Mt is argued by some that since more than $900,000,000 has beerT'collected for the federal unemployment trust fund to make 'such payments in future to those losing their jobs, therefore far more has been withdrawn from the channels cf trade than has been put back in by the payments. That is an .open question. But no one can question that all of the $120,000,000 paid out has been immediately spent in retail channels. The exact effects; of this, new factor in the national economy are not yet known. But it is clear that as the years pass it will be a greater and greater factor.

Nearly thirty years . ago, Mr. and Mrs. Harry "Edmonds of New York City, .went for a Sunday morning: walk. They met a young: man from across ;. the seas and gave him a friendly greeting. He was so touched with their , kind ness that 'he told them, their'a was the first greeting he had had since his arrival in this new land, weeks before; They invited him home to Sun day supper and told him to come again the next Sunday. Realizing, that he must be 6ne of hundreds of foreign students lost and lone ly in the great metropolis, they hunted up others in similar situations situ-ations and invited a few American Ameri-can friends also. These Sunday suppers grew until the Edmonds home would no longer hold the guests. Then was born the idea of extending the walls of this home to include not a few dozen students from different nationalities, but hundreds hun-dreds who .come every .year to attend the institutions of higher learninig in New York City. Dream Becomes Reality That dream became a reality. The New York International House is a home for 1500 students stu-dents from an average of 63 countries every year. The ideaH of the home is expressed in the motto inscribed above the main entrance : THAT BROTHERHOOD BROTHER-HOOD MAY PREVAIL. The students mingle in the varied var-ied activities of the home as members mem-bers of a great family. Opportunities Oppor-tunities are given to assist them to recei ve great benefit from the experiences, tho philosophies, the ideals of one another. The emblem or the house typifies typi-fies its high purpose. It is a double faced metial. On one side are maps of the world, signifying signify-ing the breadth of "the hospitality of the home. In the center is a ship. It is the carrier of student embassies of understanding and appreciation who take the spirit of brotherhood to other lands. Above the ship is a star, shining as a light and guide to high purposes. pur-poses. Light of Understanding On the other side of the medal are two hands, one passing a lighted candle to the other; this symbolizes ;the transfer of ' the light of understanding and appreciation appre-ciation from one to the other of the many hands that touch in this home center. Beneath the hands is an open book which typifies the open page of opportunity turned each year as the new stu dents come from the various countries of the world. : The man who uttered that far-echoing far-echoing good-morning has already seen several other brotherhood-centers brotherhood-centers established in the world, one at Chicago, one4 in California, one in France. He is now devoting his time -to the building of such homes in other parts of the world. In each' the spirit which is the accumulated enlargement of love and service and high ideals from year to year, must prevade. This spirit is the reflection of a beautiful beau-tiful courtesy, an enlarged understanding. under-standing. Each one of these brothers who come from the far corners of the earth, pours his bv?st into the test tube of daily existence, and out from this vaporizes va-porizes the spirit that strangers immediately feel when they enter an International House. Those who live in these homes believe that they are houses of echoes; that whatever one sings into them of love and understanding, understand-ing, the houses will sing back to them. This Song is a grand reverberation rever-beration of that genial, "Good Morning," uttered so many years ago. Swedish Outing Slated June 23 The Swedish people of Utah will gather at Lagoon, Thursday, June 23d to celebrate their annual mid-summer festival.

So we blockaded it during dur-ing the winter in the easiest way possible by placing u fir sapling sap-ling across it, supported by crotched sticks standing about three feet from the ground. An electric power crew had been along the highway a couple' of miles off and had cut some willow trees that were about to thrust their fast-growing tops up into a set of power wires. The crew had cut . the little trees into lengths about fence-post-size and had left them stacked along the puolic road. Two of these oversized stakes were crotched just tight for my blockade. I appropriated them by right of eminent domain or something. 'the willow stakes were just the proper length, when dropped into holes perhaps two feet deep.

Dr.. Frederick A. Saunders, research re-search director, says that already a few inexpensive modern violins are found to give exactly the same tone quality as certain Stradivan-us Stradivan-us instruments. A $5 violin is used as the "standard of badness." Its tones are compared with those of the mellowest violins.

Wallace told a joint congressional congres-sional investigating committee today to-day that this country's phosphate supplies are the largest in the world but still so limited that a conservation program should be considered. The investigation into phosphates, phos-phates, a resource valuable for fertilizer, was the first of several inquiries scheduled during the congressional recess. Wallace said the nation ' loses 4,000,000 tons of element phosphorus phos-phorus a year. He said 2,000,000 tons were taken out of the soil y ccops and another 2,000,000 tons are carried away in soil erosion. Replying Re-plying to a question by Sen. George W. Norris, I.,. Neb., Wallace Wal-lace said that soil erosion was ' intimately related to phosphate conservation. In opening the hearing first of the summer congressional investigations investi-gations Sen. James P.
