BUSINESS CENSUS
T OCAL business men are now being visited by census en-
umerators in connection with the canvass of the Census of
Business. These enumerators are sworn employees of the gov-
ernment. and have credentials of identification.
Information sought in this census pertains to last year s
business operations. It is entered on printed questionnaires,
and supplied in response to specific inquiries. All infomation
ia treated aa confidential and held in secrecy by the Bureau
of the Census.
\U retail stores, wholesale establishments, restaurants,
hotels service businesses, places of amusement, construction
contractors, insurance and real estate agents and brokers, ad-
vertising agencies, trucking and warehousing concerns, and
bus transportation companies will be canvassed for reports.
The success of this project depends to a large extent up-
on the cooperation accorded enumerators by business men.
Census officials solicit the cooperation of all business estab-
lishments. . .
Headquarters for the projcct have been established in
Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, with Fred A. Gosnell head of
former Business Censuses, chief statistician in charge. Enumer-
ation which started January 2, will be completed within three
months. Preliminary, but essentially complete, reports will be
issued about August 1. These will be followed by kind-of-
business reports.
The government is requesting the cooperation of local
business men.
DYNAMITE IN YOUR KITCHEN
YOUR kitchen contains every day materials potentially
as dangerous as dynamite!
This was demonstrated recently in an apartment house,
when a tenant deeided to bake a cake. In gathering together
in-'redients. she discovered that the flour which she had pour-
ed" out into a dish, contained bugs. She stepped over to the
incinerator, the shaft of which ran up past all of the apart-
ments, opened the door and emptied the dish.
As she elosed the door, a volcano seemed to erupt. A
terrific explosion shook the place, and a sheet of flame swept
from the shaft into the kitchen, disfiguring the girl for life.
The doors of the incinerator shaft were torn off in all apart-
ments, and great damage was done on each floor. Several
persons were sent to the hospital. And yet, onlj a small quan-
tity of flour was emptied into that incinerator—perhaps a
pound and a quarter!
What happened to cause this great and unexpected ex-
plosion? The National Board of Fire Underwriters offers this
explanation: , ...
As the powdery substance was thrown into the inciner-
ator, it separated, and many minute particles floated in the
ii ir, causing a dust cloud that exploded as soon as it came in
contact with the fire at the bottom of the incinerator shaft.
Corn starch acts similarly under certain conditions. Ac-
cumulations of dust, such as are removed from vacuum clean-
ers or carpet sweepers, unless compresscd into a matted mass,
arc also hazardous. A shovelful of dry coal dust, if thrown
loosely over a fire, could cause a devastating explosion and
will, in any event, cause a dangerous flash- back.
The way to avoid dust explosions is to keep the material
in a compact mass. When disposing of dust, it should be put
in a bag "r wrapped up securely. Then there will be no pos-
sit flity of its separating and forming a dust cloud.
As the majority of the thousands of deaths annually
caused by fire occur in homes, this recommendation should be
pi,iced high on your Safety First list.

Arms Row to Ethiopia
"Arms Flowing Into Ethiopia
Despite I tans" reads a headline iu
the New York Herald Tribune.
The dispatch Is from Linton
Wells, who writes from Djibouti,
French SomalUand, that be saw n
17. S. freighter unload "trucks,
tractors, and 'sundries'" for Ethi-
opia.
Perhapa knowledge that Ethl
opia is pouriug modern bullets In-
to his black-shirt troops Inspired
Mnsaollni's latest wail, In which
he blames others, and not himself,
for the prospect of a new war In
Europe.
And perhaps the modern anas
which have reached Klhlopla had
aome bearing on the prophecy
made in tl New \'eeh Tit", and
signed by aiz Italians, which sug-
gested that Italy's preaent predic-
ament la due to the mailed fiat
of II Dnce, and that she could go
forward without him. "We, the
undernamed." write the six Ital-
ians, "always regarded the Fas-
cist rule as Inimical to the real
welfare of the Italian people and
to the peace of the world. Now
that the Italian people are con-
fronted with a most dreadful or-
deal, and that many of those who
were the accomplices of Musso-
lini's crimes ask: "What next?'
we answer: "Italy.' We trnst In
the vitality, moral sanity, and
common sense of the Italian peo-
ple.
"There was an Italy before Mus-
solini. There will be Italy aft-
ter Mussolini—a free Italy within
the commonwealth of nations."
And we might add that In the
commonwealth of nations will atill
be free Ethiopia, because she got
guns in time.
Child Education
Professor Charles S. Johnson,
distinguished sociologist, writes an
interesting and thought-provoking
article In the current Opportunity,
entitled The Education of the Ne-
gro Child. Mr. Johnson profesaes
his faith as follows: "The educa-
tion of the Negro child should lie
realistic. He should be aware not
merely of his environment, and his
role in It, but of the natural his-
tory of bis relationship to bis cul-
ture. He should know how to ap-
praise realistically the principles
of the education by which it is ex-
pected that his life will lie shaped.
He should know the present limi-
tations of his environment, and
why it is limited. It Is a familiar
experience in the secondary
schools and colleges to encounter
students who, by virtue of the
nrge of ambitious parents, hare
reached the college level only to
be overwhelmed when the educa-
tional philosophy falls them, and
without knowing why. Only a
few, howener, reach this stage. A
wise education for this- group
would provide for them, freely, a
sympathetic knowledge of their
own Intimate social world, and a
realistic knowledge of that broad-
er universe In which they must
make salslfactory adjustment for
survival."
Prof. Johnson has attacked a
difficult problem, oil wlileh par-
ents prefer to think with their
hearts, rather than with their
heads. It is almost too much to
have to admit limitations at the
start, and plan for them. One pre-
fers to lioiie the limitations will
recede or disappear, and plan for
the Ideal.

THB ANXIOUSLY AWAITED Supremo Court action on the
TV A WU banded down by that augwt body on laat Monday,
after fifty nine d«y« of waiting. Although the Supreme Court
ruling limited iUelf to one case, that i> the WiUon dam at
Muicle Shoals, the admini«tration i highly jubilant over th«
victory.
The decision wa given on an appeal of stockholder, oi
an Alabama power concern which had .old trammiwion lines
to TVA. The uing .tockholder. formed ii minority gronp, and
.ought to have the wile of the line, canceled.
Tho opinion a. read by Chief Justice Hughes wa. very
lengthy and required more than BO minute, of reading. From
the text of the decision it was evident that the ease had been
the subject of strong and heated debate within the inner
chambers of the Court, but evidently the gentlemen got to-
gether, because there wU only one dissenting vote, that of
Justice McReypolds

The TVA victory was the second for the New Deal out of
ten cases tried in tho Supreme Court. Ono case was a-draw,
that i., it was dismissed, the other ix were complete routs a"!

While the Supreme Court was handing down its optnioi
on the TVA, Wall street was busy buying electric power
stocks. The Street had come to the conclusion that the Su-
preme Court ruling on the TVA would be adverse to the
government in view of the NRA and AAA rulings, but when
the news reached New York that the ruling had been in favoi
of the New Dealers, the stock market wa. quick to about,
face and aUil selling. Even Wall Street can't figure on th«
8upreme Court.

FIREWORKS BROKE OUT between Representative O'Coimoi
of New York and Father Ooughlin of radio and political fame.
Seem, that the reverend Father ha. gotten on the Ktlon'a
nerve* to the extent that the legislator invited the Father to
come to the capitol, and if he did he would be promptly;
kicked from the capitol to the White Honse.
The controveray arose when the Reverend declared that
O'Connor wa. a servant of the money-changer.. O'Connor
retorted that the clergyman wa. a disgrace to the church.
Later the churchman said that the representative should re-
sign his Mat. O'Connor wa. listening in on the radio when
the address delivered by the Father was broadcast, and tho
reniirk. about the repreMntative were made. The nolon reach-
ed for a pencil and telegraphed the prieat in the following
tone: "I have just heard your libelous radio rambling. The
truth i. not in you. You are a disgrace to my church or any
other church, and especially to the citixemhip of America
which you recently embraced. ' *
"You do not dare to print what you said about me. If
you will please come to Waihington I .hkll guarantee to kick
yon all the way from the capitol to the White Houm with
clerical garb and all tbe silver in your pocket, which you got
by speculating in Wall street while I was voting for all farm
bills. Come on."
Later in the week, however, the gentleman from New
York apologized for his threat to kick the priest, and for hia
remark, about the clerical garb.
It does seem that men high up in station ought to be abovi
the stupidity of petty quarrels and mud-slinging. Sound. lik<
a back-'alley dispute between two femme. of questionable re
putations. Our leader, .hould refrain from such rubbiah.

PREPARATION of a new ddath warrant for Bruno Richard
Hauptmann got under way early thia week, and the defense
hastened to bolster its case for another attempt to save the
life of the accused and convicted kidnap-murderer of the
Lindbergh baby.
It is doubted that the New Jersey governor will grant
the condemned man another reprieve.

THAT colony of nudists that set Mil several weeks ago for
the 8outh seas have had lots of trouble. They are in it again
this week as their ship is reported to be fast aground off the
coast of Florida.
The ship and its cargo of nudists are bound for soma
clime where they can do and think fes they please, including
wearing clothes or going naked. We hope they find that place.
A YEAR ago when the world was mildly excited over the
news that a man 94 years young had become the proud papa
of a bouncing baby, the father didn't see why so much fuss
should be made over it. Now it has been Announced that the
man, now 96 years old, is expecting the stork to visit hia home
again early this spring.
Which proves that it is never too late to accomplish
something worthwhile. Also this ought to give a ray of hope
to some of the fallows around town whom we know.

LOOKS like we will get that Stadium after all, but it will be
on the old Exposition Park site. One place is as good as
another; what San Antonio needs is less fuss about where to
put things, and more putting of things somewhere.

Can you imagine Dallas trying to steal the whole show of
the Centennial by erecting a full sized replica of the Alamo
at the Centennial ground, in Dallat? In the first place, the
Texas Centennial should have been celebrated in ONE place,
and that place should have been the place where the majority
of the events to ba commemorated actually occurred. We can
see why Dallas would want to have the Alamo at its cslebra
tion. Any exposition of Texas history without the Alamo ia
like 'a birthday party without a cake and candlea.
