In God have I put my trust. I will not be afraid what man

NITRATE ,
Sodium nitrate, the cause and force of wars, can also ie
' a sign of peace. It figures in an inteiiiational agreements
recent signing in such a way as to indicate basic conditions
of peace.
' A Franco-German deal whereby Germany is to deliver
200,000 tons of sodium nitrate to her traditional enemy,
France, hardly supports the alarmist dispatches of foreign
newspaper correspondents placing all Europe dangerously
near the powder house. .
Were Germany planning to make war on France or fearing
invasion from France she would not sell to France the very
stuff that makes modern warfare. When war clouds hover
over Europe Germany hoards her precious sodium nitrate,
and conspires to exhaust the resources of her enemies.
1 While France is buying the nitrate for agricultural pur
poses, it could be diverted for the uses of war, especially when i
;tbe order is for more than the war reserve supply of 125,000
tons.' i i
Germany is not anticipating trouble with France or she.
would withhold her nitrate from world markets, compelling
countries like France to risk sea cargoes. As it is she is
entering into competition with the United States, Chile and
Norway for the world trade.

ty. A MAN'S INTENTIONS
; Whatever a man's problem and handicaps there is a word
uhat describes the one thing he can do and must do. That
: word is "Forward." The man who lets nothing stop his
steady advance need fear no future obstacles. His motor is
his will and no form can long chain and impoverish that.
. Success comes sometimes when least expected. It is missed
sometimes because of lack of faith in its existence. But he
who advances, whose watchword is "forward," is never sur
prised at prosperity. He welcomes it when it comes for he
; has long expected it and is prepared to meet its responsib-
'. llities.
; Success is wholly a matter of mental attitude toward suc-
cess. The half-hearted idea that it may work out never
made a success of anything. Success comes from the de
termination at the beginning to be successful and then, by
being it. It isn't swelled-headedness to believe oneself bigger
than anything which may stand in the way of success but
to believe that is necessary to success. 1 '
! Goethe in his "Life and Character" said "Strictly speaking,
1 everything depends upon a man's intentions."

CONFERENCE
SHAPES BILL
IN TWO DAYS
(Continued Prom Page One)
This is about the season of the year when we begin to
admit that we have not made good our promise to out-self
(or was it a threat?) to have more money this season than
we had last year.
How much the world owes to fools who did not know.it
couldn't be done and went ahead and did it.

some of the Democrats In the house
When Ogden Mill, undersecretary
of the treasury, attacked the "sup
posed" Democratic Ux plan. Speaker
Garner quickly rushed in declaring
that his party had not decided on
anything definite.
Garner Bold In elfect that on In-
nouse, this greatest of peace
time emergency measures returned
uj me two cnamoers lor final ap
proval, a consummation expected, to
morrow. Sometlxing approaching e
record was set by the conference
committee in adjusting, within two
days, numerous and important dif
ferences between senate And house
on the 2, 000,000 ,000 government
credit agency.
Dawes, Meyer L,ei.d Hand
The men who will run the financial
giant. Pres. Charles G. Dawes, and
chairman of the board Eugene Meyer,
helped in attaining the agreement.
Ab drafted by tlie conferees the
legislation will allow the corpora
tion to replace unllquld collateral
with cash in loans to the following:
Federal end state banks, savings
banks, trust companies, building and
loan associations, mortgage loan com
panies, insurance companies, credit
unions, federal land banks. Joint
stock land banks, federal intermediate
credit banks, agricultural and live
stock credit corporations and Inter
state steam and electric railways, ex
porters and farmers.
Loan Limited
All loans are limited to $100,000,000 j
ench. The farmers' loans are limited
to an overall total of $200,000,000,
For exporters another outside figure
of 500.000.000 1b set. Another clause
allows a total of (200.000,000 for
closed bonks, for freeing deposits.
The conferees eliminated a provi
sion in the senate bill which would
have required the -corporation to in
clude In its. quarterly reports the
jmmes of parsons, ' financial institu
tions or corporations with -whom con
tracts for Joans or, -other transactions
were entered into and the amount
Involved in euch cuse.
This provision was inserted In the
senate mensure mainly at the in
stance of Senator Wheeler, Demo
crat, Montana, who Insisted the peo
ple have a right to know definitely
to whom their money is going. The
clause would have required this in
formation to be printed as public
documents.
One of the conferees said the pro
vision had been stricken out because
of the belief the borrowing institu
tions might be injured if it were
known generally they were callinp
upon the emergency corporiition for
aid.
limner lea.sed
As congress convened Senator Wal
cott (R. Conn.) co-author of the
bill, said President Hoover was "very
much pleased" with the corporation
bill. (
The senator, who had visited the
White House, said the president had
asked him to call to permit him to
go over the changes made by the
conferees, all were approved by the
president.
Senator Wultott said he was In
formed the house would approve the
conference report this afternoon. Ab
soon as H reaches the senate he said,
he planned to ask unanimous con

A single objection could force it to
go over for a day.
Crowley To Die
This Evening To
' Atone For Crime
OSSINING, N. Y Jan. 21 (IP)
Francis Crowley, scrowny youth who
lived all his 20 years in New York
and can scarcely write his name, cut
out the last of his paper toys today
and stole glances at a picture of the
electric chair pasted on his cell wall.
He dies in the chair at Sing Sing to
night lor murdering a policeman.
"I didn't want to forget It," said
Crowley, explaining with a leer why
he pasted up the picture of the chair
when they put him In the death
house.
Probe Into His past-''-'
Experts tried to find in his post,
the reasons why the twisted youth
raged through the scries of crimes
that brought him the nick-name
"Two-Gun."
He was the son, his attorney Bald,
of Dora Dietz, a servant girl; and a
private policemen who" never mar
ried her. Shortly after birth he wns
taken to the baby farm of Mrs. Anna
Crowley, the lawyer said. Growing
into adolescence with a mind re
tarded, he turned from school to
tawdry dance places and shady re
sorts. " ...
His name was linked with a series
of holdups. Then came an alarm' for
him in the killing of Virginia Bfan-
ncn,4nme-a-dance girl who was shot
and tossed from an automobile into
a Yonkers hedge.
Patrolman Slain
One night patrolman Frederick
Hlrsch, of Nassau county, thinking
to stop a petting party, approached
a parked automobile. Its occupants
were Crowley and his Bveetheart,
Helen 'Walsh. Crowley shot him dead
and sped away."-" 1,1 ' "''
, ' A few vdaysfJ later 7 Wte&ives1 ""cor
nered 'him, the girl and Rudolph 'Dur
inger. truckman, In an apartment
house on the upper west side. ' Bul
lets and tear gas were poured Into the
place for two hours before Crowley,
wounded nnd his ammunition ex
hausted, let the police eitter.
Huringcr Executed '
Duringer was executed for killing
Miss Brannen.
In his cell Crowley began building
paper bridges and apartment houses.
Defense alienists said he was ,a ''uior
ol imbecile." The state said he was
sane.
More than 2000 people have applied
to Warden Lewis E. Lawes for tickets
to see Crowley die.
