Show BEAVER PRESS This Week Japan Buys American Scrap Steel and Junk Sally Sez WML LSZJ by ARTHUR BRISBANB Man of Few Words First Up, Then Down Great Gondwanaland The Richest Brothers? General JohDson, whose business is finding Jobs for President Roosevelt's unemployed, Is "a man of few words," like the well known Highlander. "I went to Detroit to get the automobile code and got it." That Is almost as condensed as Caesar's veni, vldl, vici. Asked what would happen to employers or others that "refused to go Roosevelt's along with President code," General Johnson replies, "They will get a sock on the nose," a new, simple way of solving great economic problems. What was going to become of small stores obliged to pay "code wages, asked an editor. General Johnson replies (borrowing from Shakespeare's well known statement about) "Men have died and worms have eaten them but not from paying $12 a week for fourteen hours in a retail store." "The fewer words, the better prayer," said Martin Luther. Our buying and selling minds seem not even to know what they think Is going 'to happen, here or In Europe, One day they buy, next day they sell. The dollar goes down, Europe says It Is unsound. Then !t goes up, and European monies drop. r7i gov-enor- Gov-eno- Japan buys American Junk to transform Into steel for ships, munitions, and other products. Due to Japan's deficit In raw Iron resources which has become an important factor in her progress, Nipponese agents buy up pressed tin cans and old nutotnoblles for shipment to Japanese smelters where It is made Into steel. Here on the docks at Los Angeles harbor Is a quantity of scrap Iron ready to be loailcd on a Japanese vessel. What Happens When a Big Ship Runs Aground Europe said "leaving the gold basis, America will flood the world with cheap dollars." Now Europe discovers that we have fewer dollars In circulation, by nearly forty millions, than we had on the gold basis. 1 " f Did you ever hear of Gondwanaland? It Is not only real, but the biggest thing on earth barring the Pacific Ocean. Geologists In Washington want you to know about Gondwanaland, gigantic continent that disappeared the ocean about 150,000,000 years be-lo- w ago. That huge continent, as big as Europe and Asia together, named for Gondwana, district in central Asia, may Interest us when we begin exploring and exploiting treasures that He below the water. There are under sea In Gondwanaland gTeat beds of coal, much Iron, and heaven knows what else in the way of gold and other JnecIous stuff. A book has been written to show that the Mellon family of Pittsburgh is the richest family in the world, the combined fortunes of the Mellon broth- ers, according to the book, amounting to more than two billions of dollars. It Is easy to present such Imaginary fortunes to a successful chosen few, but real figures are usually multiplied, once or twice. Whatever the Mellons are worth, they, and their fathers before them, got it from productive, constructive work, building ships, railroads, factories, manufacturing plants of all kinds. What they have done has developed the country, created payrolls and, even In these changing days, that kind of work is generally approved.

Plutarco Ellas Calles, Mexico's "Iron Man" and former President, will have charge of the undertaking, running over six years. This country Is gratified by the statement that Mexico Includes In its plan a trade agreement with the United . Samuel L. Antonow, president of the American Druggists' syndicate, whose plan for ending the depression calls for thawing out credit through government loans to the nation's 1,750,-00retailers.

General Calles tells 10,000 Mexican workmen that the world Is about to face a most serious crisis and that Mexico vjill fully with other American countries. Mexico looks forward to an "econowar among continents" and will, naturally, stick with this continent. It Is unfortunate that Canada, by political alignment.

That should stimulate maternal enthusiasm. Germany's birth rate Is falling, and Wllhelm Frlck, Prussian Minister of the Interior, reminds the peasants of the cry, In the time if Frederick the Great, "the king needs more soldiers." But fifty years of universal military service and teaching by the party In Germany, have taught German peasants many thing?, since Frederick the Great died. (.1913. by Kim Fotuftt Srodkstt, lac.) BEVERLY HILLS Well all I know is just what I read in the papers or what I saw a couple of weeks ago when I was herding Gove- nors around. Was you ever chaperons to a troop of Gove-nors-? Well now its a mighty nice pleasant Job, especially when you got the right bunch of and I bad the right bunch, 1 had about a dozen of the pick of the country. I went up with Rolph of Cal, and Gov Green of Rhode Island, (who was already in our state) and Govenor Balzar of Nevad. Well we were to meet the others at the state line, as they were coming from their eats. They were to get to the line at 11.30 at night. Well where the railroad crosses the line was down in a canyon quite a ways away from the highway, (asay up the side ef the hill) but they had a trail dug down there. Well they had a cannon down In the canyon, and it was to shoot 19 times, then they hai to reload in between and then they would shoot a big roman candle in between the cannon shots and they sounded almost as loud as the cannon. So it looked like they got a 33 gun salute. Green of Rhode Island is very highly educated fellow, studied in Germany and goes there to lecture. He was govenor before it become fashionable to consult college professors. Then too Govenor Cross of Connecticut. Like Green he has a bunch of degrees after his name till it sounds like a radio station. They were a couple of mighty sweet pleasant fellows. Why they were slumming in politics the Lord only knows. Course Rolph Is a dandy and the best host in the world, and did everything just right Govenor Pollard of Virginia was president of the Conference, and the finest type of Virginian and no slouch on the degree racket He had about everything you could get in Virginia. Right down South of him aways come South Carolina, Govenor Blackwood. Good speaker, mighty jovial. He seemed to know what it was all about Then Govenor Park of Missouri, prominent lawyer and judge and graduate of Missouri University, awful fine fellow. Right from a state where they breed mules and politicians, the best In the world of both. Then of course we had the sensational Gov. McNutt of Indiana, who has quite a unique record in achievement and who has been voted more power as Govenor than any other in any state K figs if. k. if i ,11' it of the Unl Roy Engle, captain-elec- t versity of Pennsylvania football team keeps In condition during the summei months by laying electric conduits It Philadelphia.

He has straightened Indiana out, and is about to get some decency in politics in a state thats been a political cess pool for the last 15 years or more. Their budget is balanced and no sales tax. Then we had two old rough and tumble western boys, Ben Ross of Idaho, who is a better roper than I am, and he brought us quite a surprise. We dident think there was anybody in Idaho but my old friend Bill Borah. But they sho know they got this Ben Ross. He is an awful fine chap, plain and no frills but genuine. Then Fred Balzar of Nevada, everybody knows Fred as cowpuncher. sheriff, miner, brakeman and a real old be boy. No college degree, but one of the few In the bunch that have been reelected. Budget balanced, no extra taxes and bis flea circus has gone home, (some of em still got theirs on their hands). Then Gov Miller of Montana, dandy little chap, he would sho tell em about Montana and well he should for it embraces some of our most wonderful scenery. Now we Jump clear up to New Hampshire. This Gov Winans is quite a fellow, another type of the rich fellow who really wants to do something worth while for his Country. A great war record and they say a mighty able govenor. I know he Is mighty nice and a good upeaker. One of the hard workers was Hardee of Florida, who is Secretary of the Conference and has been for years. He was very considerate of California (brought his own grape fruit however). Last but not least comes my old friend Gov White of the great state of Ohio. He beat my good friend Dave In galls, but I like bim, and did before that We about bad him nominated for Vice Pres. He flew clear out there, he and his daughter. You would like White. Not t. govenor now. But really the high ranking member of the Conference was Secretary of War Dern, former Govenor of Utah. He really represented the President. He Is a very democratic fellow and being made a member of the Cabinet seems not to have changed him from when be was Utah most poplar govenor. I think be is doing a fine Job of tbe War De partment He believes In making It mean something. My association wttb them will remain a very happy memory and is one of my bright spots.
