ANOTHER SPINACH ADDICT
f
LONDON—(U.R) — For the first
t ime Britain is making really stre-
nuous efforts to train for the Olym-
pic games in Berlin this summer.
By tradition, the British atti-
tude to amateur sports has been
•the play's the thing; never mind
who wins.” but this year Britain
is out to win, or at least finish
higher than sixth or seventh
imong the competing nations.
Old-fashioned sports patrons de-
scribe some of the training in-
novations as tire borderline of pro-
fessionalism, or. at thp best. ' Amer-
ican pep methods."
In 1933. soon after the old coun-
try's poor showing in the Los
Angeles games, Britain started
preparing for this year’s Olym-
pics. That in itself was some-
thing new. Usually teams have
not been chosen until a week or
so before the games.
Meld Events Stressed
Chief attention was given to tire
field events in which Britain has
never shone. In 1934. a summer
school was established at lough-
borough college. Leicestershire,
where such experts as Harry Ab-
riihums. Olympic broad jumper;
Donald Finlay, hurdler, and Tom
Hampton. Olympic and world-rec-
ord Ira If miler. coached young
aspirants.
Before then training was left to
the individual athlete, who rarelv.
if r.t all, received any coaching.
Early in 1935. during the winter
montlrs when track and field men
hibernate here, a series of lantern
lectures were arranged. Experts
demonstrated the tricks of their
different trades. Jack Lovelock,
for instance, showed how he runs
his fast mile. Emphasis again was
laid on throwing and jumping.
It. was the first time tliat there
had been any organized tuition in
tins country.
Indoor Meet Held
Later in the year, the first In-
door meet was staged. It was pri-
marily intended as a money-mak-
ing spectacle, but it afforded the
athletes a much-needed limbering
up after months of inaction.
Finally, at the end of 1935, the
track and field authorities made
their supreme move, upsetting
haphazard conditions of past years.
They announced a list of athletes
from which the final learn will be
chosen.
These men will be watched | poubbwgjgje, Minn

HEADSTONE OF DANIEL BOONE
Writer Disposes of Ob-
jections To Plan
BY S. D. HALES
OKLAHOMA CITY—(U.R)—Arthur
B Adams proposes what amounts
to a reasonable share-the-wealth
scheme, in his new book, as the nec-
essary means of reforming the
American industrial system and
bringing the nation from its busi-
ness difficulties.
Likp Abe Lincoln. Dr. Adams him-
self raises most of the objections
that could be made to his plan,
then disposes of them.
The effect of his scheme would
be to increase consumers' purchas-
ing power, reduce unemployment,
make a more equitable distribution
of Industrial income and give the
government more power to curtail
special privileges and licenses of
"big business.”
Unemotional Study
But there is nothing wild-eyed or
Huev Longlsh in the book. “Na-
tional Economic Security.” just re-
leased by the University of Okla-
homa Press. Norman It Is. rather
an unemotional and reasoning study
of the nation's economic plight.
The book Is fairly easy for the lay-
man to read. It is concerned witli
problems iltai affect him in a vital
.spot—his pocketbook.
In two pages of staccato sentences
in which Dr. Adams' logic is as
compelling as iiamtner blows, the
University of Oklahoma economist
submits that:
New deal spending to prime the
pump of business and industry will
never do a permanent job of re-
turning prosperity; inflation wont
do it either, could lead to revolu-
tion. certainly would bring greater
pains than those of the present.
Statistics Cited
At thLs point the author has
shown from history an unimpeach-
able statistics that the 1929 depres-
sion has been unlike any that pre-
ceded it and will require a new
method of solution.
One reason the depression has
been so severe, Dr Adams says. Is
because of the existence of a great
surplus productive capacity and a
large deficiency in consumers' pur-
chasing power. Practically all the
increase In national money incomes
during the 1920's went to persons
with Incomes large enough for fed-
eral income taxation, he says. A de-
creasing percentage of the income
wrs paid out in wages
Laborers were displaced, in in-
creasing numbers, by automatic
machinery. The nation was over-
built. over-equipped with factories
The income-producing property still
remains mostly in the hands of the
class that held It before 1929. The
wage situation Is no better. New
deal expedients have been knocked
out In the courts or nre only tend
morary economic remedies.
Suggestions Offered
What to do. then? Adams would
do this i and he tells how and why):
1. Adjust weekly work hours so
all employables always would have
jobs in private industry regardlesg
of what the output was.
2. Give industrial laborers a
greater percentage of the Income
from Industrial production, by in-

STUDENTS VOTE
FAVORITE TYPES
TORONTO. Ont —(U.R)—University
of Toronto students like “slinky”
girls best.
Answering a magazine question-
naire on the type girl they prefer-
red. the students placed "slinky”
girls first, "romantic” girls second,
“sophisticated” girls third, and
"fluffy" maidens at the bottom.
Citing the qualities they admired
most in a girl, they placed vitality
first, neatness second, beauty third,
distinction fourth, style fifth, sweet-
ness sixth, and sex appeal seventh.
The students denounced, by a
large majority, dresses cut low in
the front, bad perfume, hair orna-
ments. and brilliantly tinted nails.

KIN OF INDIAN FIGHTER — John Abraham Lincoln Harrison
Boone, 71. of New York City, with the purported headstone of his
great-great uncle, Daniel Boone, pioneer Indian fighter, discovered
In an Indian mound In Kentucky. "Boon” is the way the scout
, usually spelled his name. J. A. L. H. Boone Is shown in his Elks
uniform cap and coat he has worn to Elks conventions since 1907,
The date of 1775 appearing on the stone was the year in which
Boone led an armed band of men to a fort on the Kentucky River
on the site of Boonesboro. Later Boone moved his family to the

creasing wage rates per hour and
adjusting wage scales as profits and

hour week would be the maximum
3. Eliminate monopolistic and/or
agreed control over prices and vol-
ume of production.
4 Stop manipulation of interstate
business concerns "for the benefit
of the few who control them for
personal profits,” by requiring fed-
eral Incorporation. Thus, he says,
the government could stop stock
bonuses, stock dividends, watering
of stock, holding companies and
other personal-gain schemes
Other Measures
5. Raise prices of farm products
and adjust farm debts in line with
current Incomes and current farm-
values. Prices would be raised by
holding production to current mar-
ket demand. These steps would in-
crease-farmers' incomes.
6. Reduce Interest rates, refinance
farm-home loans, public and rail-
road bonds, adjust debts to fit cur-
rent market values of property post-
ed as security. These steps would
give debtors greater purchasing
power and reduce excess incomes or
large income-receivers
7. Make receivers of high Incomes
bear moat of the cost of govern-
ment. This would be done through
steeply progressive taxes on large
personal incomes and through ex-
cess profits taxes on corporate and
other business incomes.
8. Greatly reduce or break up
huge family fortunes. This would
be done by imposing progressive in-
heritance. gift and succession taxes
high enough to take for the govern-
ment all of the fortunes or estates
except a "reasonable sum to each j
heir or recipient” upon death of the |
holders of fortunes.

ONE CLOSET
suitable for skeletons
IT’S THE ONE where you used to keep your family skeletons.
Not the kind referred to as “Unde Will’s unfortunate weak-
ness.” The kind that haunted you with reminders of unfortu-
nate purchases,...
Appliances bought on snap judgment. Gadgets that didn’t
run. Dresses you snatched at the last moment—and never wore
after the first. All things that cost too much and gave too little.
Merchandise from questionable sources—hastily, inconsiderately
secured.
You have fewer of these sad mistakes to put away than you
used to. You are spending: your money more carefully nowadays.
Hard times—experience—have contributed their lessons. But
above all others, one factor has stood your constant guard.
The advertising in this newspaper protects you against
wasteful, unsatisfactory expenditures. Advertised products live
up to their specifications—and yours.
By reading the advertising—not sometimes but always—
carefully and critically—you provide yourself with a knowledge
of values, prices and names that’s yours when you need it.
Dispense with that upstairs closet. Buy by name in 1956. You’ll
collect no buying blunders that way!
