"Gone With PROBABLY few people 8re aware of it, but this is Good Book week. It would appear fitting, therefore, to say a few woVds, about one of the current beat sellers "Gone With the Wind" which is certainly a good book, very good indeed. According to the press notices, "Gone With the Wind" is the work of a comparatively young girl, Margaret Mitchell, who was born in Atlanta, Georgia and worked for some tine as a special feature writer on one of the Atlanta newspapers. The book draws a picture and what a vivid, unforgettable picture 1 of Atlanta and its environs, just before, during and after the Civil war. The chief character is Scarlett 0'llara, laughter of a hot blooded Irish emigre, who wcoed and finally non, the charming and competent daughter of a Charleston irwtoorar, became the prosperous, hard-drinking and rough rid ing master of Tar, a typical pre-war cotton plantation of the Did South, and Scarlett was the eldest of their three children beautiful, '.'apable and ruthless. We think "chief character" is better than heroirus. for while the book is essentially the life story of Scarlett, there is nothing romantic in the characterization or treatmeni of this girl, who with an extraordinary singleness of purpose, unscrup ulous and pitiless, fights thru youth, motherhood and matur ity, for survival, personal and material, during the most devas tating catastrophe that ever visited any section of this country, since Christopher Columbus discovered it. HOWEVER we are not going time nnr flttcmnt. nnvrhino- book. We happen to be interested, at the moment in just one phase of it. This is the ficture, "Gone With the Wind" gives of the Civil war from the southern standpoint. There have been many novels this is the only one, at least in recent years, which brings that war HOME, so to speak, from the viewpoint of those in the South, who participated in it. The book has been criticized as being too sympathetic to the South, but to our mind, siu.'h a criticism is not justified. We can't qualify as an expert, but our judgment is the book, while sympathetic is also entirely real istic, gives a faithful picture, of the social, economic and physical character of tho far South, during the Civil war and reconstruction following it with a photographic Faithfulness. THE lesson of the book, from the standpoint of war, is this. Scarlett is no more romantically treated, than was Becky Sharp, but from a modern standpoint the Civil war, was essen tially romantic It was a clash between two social orders, be tween two systems of economics, between the declining Cavr.licr ind the up-and-coming Yankee trader, and it was fought before he machine age, in any real senae had developed. It was therefore a conflict of color, action, and movemr-nt. There was ample play for individual action, initiative and leadership, There were no big guns, no tanks, no flame throw ers, no poison gas, taking the war as a whole it was a clash not so much between armies, certainly not mechanized armies, as between individuals, in a way of speaking a hand-to-hand fight. The individual from lowest to highest rank always counted, he wasn't just a cog in a huge machine with, an identification number around his neck, he was a man, John Jones of Boston, Massachusetts or Rouce Randolph of Charles ton, S. C, nnd as long as he lasted he counted as such. And whon he was dead he still counted. After tho war of the Rebellion there wcro no unknown soldier ccntopaths the personal quality endured, and it is the personal quality that mokes romance. k ND yet behind the lines, for the defeated forces in the South, what suffering, what desolation and horror, what ruin, material and moral I It was in fact General Sherman, on that famous, for one Bide infamous to the other, march from Atlanta to the sea, who coined the final and unanswerable indictment of a conflict that was still romantic "War is hell I" AS the World war proved, the day of a victorious war, in the sense that the North in 1865 was victorious, has van ished. Under modern conditions thero can be no victor, there can only be varying degrees in defeat. And yet what do we see today, practically the entire world feverishly, insanely, preparing for war, greater armies, larger armaments, stronger fleets all civilization, to the east and to the west, busily engaged in what amounts only to digging the grave for that civilization. Truly a world gone mad I So quite aside from ita value as a thrilling story, and a picture of ihe Civil War south, that wo prcdiot will becomo a part of our permanent American literature, we welcome the fact "Gone With the Wind" has become the most popular book of the day, because we feel that picture of what war was nearly 75 years age. will strengthen the determination of tho people of this country, to do everything in their power, to prevent war in the future Above all to prevent it in the only way it can ho prevented, by preparing themselves to make those sacrifices, which must he made, in one way or another by each and every, one of them, if the world and this oountry as a part of it is to have peace. For this much is certain. War on a large scale for the world today, will as surely make "Gone With the Wind" the perfect epitaph, for what, we regard as modern civilization, as it was, for tha Old South, in 18611 Unemployment Decreasing ANOTHER "unofficial check-up" by the department of eommctco has resulted in the announcement that, (1) There are now fewer than 9 million unemployed, contrasted w ith 15 million in lIKt.'l, 11 million in million will be sought at once census bureau to make a precise Unemployed may be reduced to 8 year, according to the department's estimates: (4) About half the unemployment totHl is chargeable to the manufacturing. const mci ion ana raitrona umu.stncs ; o; a mrse , nut iin-1 determined percentage arc young, untrained workers who have been added to unemployment, lists since the depression began.

The young man or young woman who desires to practice chirop ody or podiatry must f urnlah evidence of hav- lff. i log completed a V fV 1 regular four-year: high acjhool course, and then must attend & recognl&e'd school of dhlropody or podiatry covering one school year of not lees than eight months, and finally pass an examination to obtain a license from the state,:, Finally the law requires that the chiropodist or podiatrist shall register thla license with the county clerk or other designated au thority In the community where he or she engages In practice. Unregister ed persons who practice podiatry or chiropody are subject to prosecution. This recognition and regulation of the practice of chiropody Is a safety precaution. The public In the past haa been unwary In submitting to the care of unqualified persons who held themselves out as being capable of caring for and treating ailments of the feet. Some schools give podiatry courses far above the minimum requirements above described for practitioners who desire to make themselves more ef ficient and capable. Graduates of such podiatry schools are scientifically qualified to treat foot troubles of any kind. They are not In competition with physicians i but rather cooperate with the phy sician for the best Interest of the patient. The public should learn to dis tinguish tho qualified chlrodoplst or podiatrist from the trick "foot spec ialist." The qualified chlropcdst or podia trist understands and applies the principles of asepsis In his or her work, and the quack does not. This may not mean much to the unlnltl-1 ated layman but It Is the difference between safety and septicemia ("blood-poisoning") following minor surgical treatment of the foot. At leaat In the forty-two common wealths in the ( United States where tho practice or podiatry (chiropody) Is regulated by law. It behooves the laymnn to make certain tho chiro P.O.Mclntvre NEW YORK.

OB PODIATRY podist (podiatrist) he purpose to consult Is a duly registered licensed practitioner and not Just a clerk, salesman or mechanic with large pre tentlons. One commendable result of the higher standards promoted by these better schools of chiropody Is that the people are learning to give the feet better care In health, and their feet are certainly receiving better treatment In disease. Even today a good many physicians are pretty helpless when confronted. with complaints of such ailments as corns, bunions, weak feet, flat feet, etc., but now that well trained podiatrist (chiropodists) are to be found In every large community it doesn't matter so muoh. Whether your Interest Is In beauty, comfort or efficiency, it pays to take good care of the feet.

I wish to ask you to explain to ' your readers why we must not believe that we, aa a nation, are heading toward a dlctatorshp. I earnestly hopo wo are not. But please tell ua what ground there is for such a hope. Did not Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler all come to their present power on the slogan, "Down with the oppressing rich?" or lta equivalent? And la not that the slogan which elected Mr, Roosevelt? Except for the supreme court, has not Mr. Roose velt already had aa much power aa any of these men? Two years ago my wife died In Chlno, Calif. Unless somebody lied, Mr. Roosevelt said I had to pay at least 995.00 to have her body carried three miles for cremation.. I am a loyal citizen when laws are Just. At that time J became a rebel, when I found that the county would pay $35 for the same service, I paid the undertaker $50 and dared him to sue me. Up to date he has not done It. A dictatorship Is the best form of government. If the dictator is both wise and good. Our president haa been urged many times to call the nation to prayer and repentance Does hla refusal Indicate that he Is both wise and good? I have recently been reading the prophecies of Jeremiah and Ezektel who prophesied Just before the de struction of Jerusalem and the beau tiful temple of Solomon. They tried to call the nation to repentance: they tried tn vain, and God said. "I have taken away my peace from this people." Jer. 16:5. .See also 21:4. Has Ood said the same concerning our people? I still hope not. Please give me some ground for that hope. More than one-third of our peo ple voted against Roosevelt, but their ballot, under our system of govern ment, will give them practically no representation In congress. I believe that that third Included the greatest part of that portion of our people who are. disturbed bv our lawlessness and sin. For which candidate did the openly evil vote, think you. Up to the present moment those of us who are opposed to Mr, Roose velt's polioses have the supreme court for our protection. Last winter, an admirer of Roosevelt (holding a job under the government) told me that Roosevelt will do away with the court. I laughed theo. but I have quit laughing Hasn't the nation said to him, go ahead and do a you please? Mr. editor, you misely called our attention to the fact that we have the ballot: that In Oermany there was only the one name. Hitler, on the ballot In the recent election W'll that be the case here In ltMO? If not whv not? For the first time In mv 68 years I am disturbed by the outcome of an election. We fcbur.rianily deservf the wrath of God. if there la a God of righteouanesa! Haa he 'taken away his peace" from us? How about the strikes. Will you give me some ground for hope that all Is well; some other ground than that we are such a damned smart people that God cannot send evil upon ua when we despise his law. WM. M. CARLE. Lake Creek, Nov. 13. (Continued from Page One.) foreign Investment here. The, can be taxed. It la very doubtful, however, that this complete remedy will be suggest ed. The fact Is foreign investments Are desirable. The trouble comes when they are withdrawn, and serious trouble comes If they are all with drawn at once. They can thus affect our markets very seriously. The problem Is not how to keep tha money out, but how to keep It here. This Is a little harder to do, but, as far as large gold export are concerned, they are already subject to withdrawal licenses. And, In event of war. they could b seized. Apparently tha president was only trying to point to one weakness In the present financial recovery move ment and show his administration la alert to it. Also, in a negative way, he disclosed the post-election purpose of his administration to protect er- If ting values. If any situation Is going to develop shortly which would cause European Id vwtors to withdraw their funds from this country, no one here seems to know It. Apparently that consid eration did not enter Into the de crslon. Certain under-cover workers are at tempting to form a new silver lobby. They have already approached some manufacturers, but these were not Interested. Tlie basic Idea of the at tempted maneuver la to gev silver propaganda going at the forthcoming nun-American conference tn some what the same manner as Big Bill 'Bass Drum" Shearer worked the armaments propaganda at a Geneva disarmament conference. They claim to have a heavy official connection but really have none. Of course, a sliver lobby for con gress would be superfluous, as long aa the silver senators are on hand to handle that work. The man behind Mr. Roosevelt's decision against airplane exports within a year was Acting War Secre tary Wood ring. He haa been plug ging for such a program for months. In siding with him, tho president. In minor way, turned his back on the navy admirals. Gossips at the White House gates believe It may help Woodrlng'a chances of getting the cabinet Job permanently. Tho published announcements said the American Liberty league will go un. but the situation seems to be that Mr. Jouett Sbouse will go on. He Is the director, and la likely to become the whole league In the future. It may be denied, but some author ities behind the league wanted to fold It up In the middle of the recent presidential campaign. A meeting waa held, and the decision to con tinue was made on the ground that discontinuance would appear to be surrender. The recent decision la said to have been on somewhat the same basis. Lawyers do not often tell stories to the supreme court. The atmosphere there la not conducive to Joviality. However, noted Newton Baker, lawyer :n a public utility case, broke down the barrier the other day. He waa con tending that the PWA has not con htitutlonal authority to lend money to Greenwood county, South Carolina, lor a hydro-electric plant, and said: "Nothing was ever more preclpttate end complete than the abandonment of Ita sovereignty by South Carolina In a scramble for this money, it re minds me of the potentate of a aha aowy Jungle state when I askea him how he managed to control his sub jects. He replied: " 'I make a show of force' and then he added, with a laugh, I give them a little money.' " .
