PICKARDUNCLE SAM, through the medium of the farm board's stabilization corporation, is engaged In another noble experiment, namely, the support of the domestic wheat market to keep prices from experiencing unwarranted declines. Thus far the experiment seems to be successful, for purchasestion which undertakes to develop into a national welfare program the suggestions he made a year ago. Twelve hundred experts have been working on the problems he set forth at that time and it was for this conference to co-ordinate their solutions.When the big gathering had been called to order by Secretury Wilbur, Its chairman. Mr. Hoover delivered his address in which he asked for safeguards and services to childhood beyond the reach of the Individual parent and which can be provided only by the community, the state or the nation. “If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated and healthy children** he said, “a thousand other problems of government would vanish.” His solution for the questions concerning childhood which he said should stir a nation wasMr. Jayakar, a brilliant young lawyer; Dr. B. S. Moonje, a Hindu leader; Muhnmmed All, prominent Moslem, and the beautiful Begum Shah Nawaz.The attitude of the Tories of England was set forth by Lord Peel, former secretary of state for India, who surprisingly asserted that no promise of dominion status, now or in the near future, had been given by Great Britain. After defending the British rule In India he suggested that a beginning be made by giving the provinces a certain amount of autonomy, while maintaining a strong central government unchanged from the present one. There would be time enough to change the central government after the provinces had proved their capacity to rule, he said.rT BuildmcjPaved Driveway Add* Much to Home ComfortDriveway paving is one type of improvement which may be omlertaken at low cost with resultant gains both in convenience and property value. A well-placed and designed driveway adds materially to the enhancement of residential properly. Consider, for Instance, the fact that a number of home owners today are following the practice of tinting the driveway slab to harmonize with the color borne in the stucco of the dwelling I Not a bad idea, and one that might be well worth while investigating.Decoration, however, is only a secondary function of the paved driveway. The concrete slab is primary assurance that the family car will not h» stranded In mud or sifted full of du»^ aswrance thnt the lawn will not be rated, assurance that visiting coal tracks and delivery wagons will be amply supported without fear of a breakdown.But there are other things of interest which may be developed In connection with a concrete driveway. In this modern day there is nothing quite so intriguing as turning a purely utilitarian gadget Into a means for amusement. Enough! The hunch is sufficient. Provided with a paint can nnd a measuring tape we mark ofT a few lines and numbers on the slab and—presto—we have a shuflleboard coart. A troweled finish, plus polish-Ing, will provide u better playing surface.—Exchange.Community Fund Serves Good Purpose in CitiesOut of the public’s willingness to sacrifice and serve during the war period, when the community chest idea became popular the country over.Seen* at * Coffea Warahouaa In Santoa, Brazil.(Prepared by the National Geographic Society. Washington, D. C.)BRAZIL Is so huge—it is a quarter of a million square miles larger than the United States—and is made up of so many diverse regions that the average visitor can do little more than acquaint himself with a limited area. But modern travel methods have at least greatly stretched the area that enn be covered by a brief tour. Now many travelers from the United States to South America go by airplane, skimming along over the Atlantic coast of the great republic.The first familiar feature of Brazil that the air traveler sees is the Amazon. At its mouth the big river, 180 miles wide between Its capes, colors the sea and dilutes Its salt for 50 miles offshore.
