The
RAMBLINGREPORTER
-Says '•
Today the business out-look is curiously mixed. Onthe unfavorable side, thestrike situation growssteadily more tense, even,as individual strikes aregrowing more bloody andembittered, and troublesuch as that now beingexperienced by the inde-pendent steel companiesmay be felt in other im-portant industries beforethe year's end. On top ofthis, Congress is consider-ing or about to consider anumber of legislative pro-posals—ranging all theway from a new and movestringent "NRA" to crea-tion of a gigantic, Feder-ally-owned super - powersystem—which are ana-thema to all business lead-ers. And there is a goodchance that taxes will bematerially increased for1938.
Even so, the strength ofthe recovery movement—•expressed in rising in-comes, and an almost in-satiable public desire forcommodities of all kinds—is so great, that practic-ally all of the establishedforecasting services arebullish. Thus, in recentweeks, the AlexanderHamilton service has said:"The world is in the boomphase of the business cy-cle." Babson believe that"gains over a year agoshould continue to be wellmaintained." Brookmireanticipates that "renewed ,recovery should follow thesummer lull." Colonel Ay-res sees "no reason to fear(that any serious businessrecession is impending."Gibson says, "No majordecline is in prospect forthe summer months."Poor's foresees "some re-cession during the nearterm," but nothing severe.Summing up opinion, Unit-ed Business Service observes that "present indica-tions point to a moderateletdown in activity overithe next few months, al-though business in the ag-gregate should hold abovea year ago."
So far as specific ele-ments in the industrial pic-ture are concerned, thecommentators agree fair-ly well. Most of themthink that bond prices willbe either stabilized at current levels, or may godown slightly due to high-er interest rates. Stocksare definitely irregular,with the recent trenddownward, but neither material advances nor re-cessoms are anticipated.There will be little vari-ance in commodity pricesgenerally during the nextfew months, with a possi-ble rise coming in the fall.Summer trade in all lines,,seasonal factors consider-ed, will be good, and bet-ter than in 1936. Foreigntrade should start upward,but it will be a long timebefore pre-depression lev-els are again reached. Awar in Europe would revo-lutionize the outlook inthis field, but few believethat any of the major powers are sufficiently confi-dent to risk a war as yet—they are simply bluffing
. and stalling.
For most industries, theearnings outlook is good—though nowhere near asgood as the productionoutlook. Some of the larg-est industries—of whichthe railroads are a case inpoint—are doing a greatlyincreased volume of busi-ness with extremely smallincreases in earnings, dueto higher, taxes, higherwages, etc. However, prac

FORDS POST OFFICE NOW SECONDCLASS DEPARTMENT; WILL MOVEINTO LARGER QUARTERS' SHORTLYGreat increase In Volume Of Business and Mail
Handled Is Responsible ForHigher Rating
POSTMASTER SEYLER PRAISED
Master of Ceremonies
FORDS.—Time marches on. And, as it does, Fordsleaps with great strides toward higher levels. Yesterdaythe status of the Fords post office changed from third classto that of second—only one step below the highest rating.
Postal authorities at Washington authorized thechange in status several weeks ago and announced thateffective July 1, the local office would be elevated to
second class department.On May 21, J. E. Speake, postal
inspector operating from, thePhiladelphia office, advertised forbids for new and. larger quartersfor the Fords office.
The specifications called for1200 feet of floor space in a con-veniently located section of the lo-cal postal area with good daylightand accessibility to a rear or sideentrance.
A eheck-up revealed that a num-ber of property owners availedthemselves of the opportunity tobid for the leasing of the proper-ty desired for the post office. How-ever, no word as to the outcome ofthe bids Jias been heard from In-spector Speake.
Originally it was believed thata move would be made from thepresent site around July I, but atpresent it appears as if the move,if made, would be much later. It isalso felt that another carrier wouldbe required to handle the outgoingmail, as but two carriers are nowserving the 7500 persons who re-ceive their mail from the Fordspost office.
With the opening of the new sitepractically all new equipmentwould toe installed as the presentfurniture and fixtures have been inuse since the post office was firstplaced in service.

What promises to be a safe and sane IndependeijDay will be observed in Raritan and Woodbridge lojships and throughout New Jersey, on Sunday and MonjJuly 4 and 5.
The state law, designed to make the Fourth ofl"safe and sane" in New Jersey, has been upheld as
Second Ward PoliticsThe Rumor Manufacturing Plant of the second
ward was working at full capacity over the weekend.As far as could be determined, no CIO organizerswere at hand to assist in messing things up. The twofactions of the Democratic organization in Fords,Keasbey and Hopelawn took care of that end of thestory.
For the past two months, everything looked rosyfor the Democrats. One faction, the Second DistrictDemocratic Club, had already endorsed Thomas Fee,of Keasbey, for the nomination of committeeman fromthe second ward. An excellent choice.
However, the Fords Jeffersonians, so the storygoes, didn't like the manner in which the endorse-ment was made. The Fords clan has nothng againstFee, for he is said to be aces up with all. But the waythe endorsement was engineered is what the Fordsgroup is beefing about.
So, to make the situation more jumbled an effortwill be made to inject George Applegate/ a formerconvmitteeman of Fords, into the race. Just how farthe Fords clique will get with Applegate as the candi-date, is hard to determine. Fee has a big edge rightnow and should win over Applegate very easily.
And, while the Democrats suddenly found them-selves floundering in the second ward sea, the Re-publicans are also split wide open. It seems that Fordsdoesn't want to get behind Committeeman JamesSchaffrick for reelection. As a result, Howard Madi-son, a former committeeman, is being mentioned.Madison is from Fords and Schaffrick lives in Hope-lawn. Disinterested persons are mentioning a compro-mise candidate—which may and may not even get tofirst base.
Six Steps To RuinUnless the constantly widening gap between gov-
ernment income and outgo is closed, writes Roger W.Babson, one of the outstanding American economists,six financially ruinous consequences will result:
"First, continued deficits ultimately lead to fearof government credit.
"Second, unsound public credit means unwilling-ness to lend the government money to pay its bills.
"Third, the treasury is forced to print paper mon-ey to pay its deficits.
"Fourth, the paper money falls like a meteor invalue as prices shoot sky-high.
"Fifth, the buying power of salaries, wages, sav-
ings accounts, insurance policies and bonds drops topractically nothing.
"Sixth, the ruined, starving middle-class take thereins of government by force to bring order out ofchaos."
Mr. Babson does not think it too late to put thegovernment's financial house in order but quick ac-tion is essential. On a per-person basis, Federal ex-penses since 1860 have increased from $2 to $55 ayear. The average American family of five has an in-come of $1,700. It owes as its share of the soaring na-tional debt, $1,375. In addition to owing this debt, itmust pay $275 annually in Federal taxes alone. Onlyan aggregate public demand for retrenchment and abalanced budget can save us from the "six steps toruin" Mr. Babson describes.
Foil the Summer BurglarSummer is here—and the burglar is getting out
his housebreaking tools. There are six burgulary,robbery and theft losses for every fire loss, accord-ing to the Association of Casualty and Surety Execu-tives. The vacation months, when so many residencesare empty and unguarded, provide ideal working con-ditions for the housebreaker. He does not have to bewary of sleepers who may awake momentarily andsound an alarm. He need have no fear that a dog'sangry barking will reveal his presence. He can workleisurely and thoroughly.
If persons who are leaving their homes unoccu-pied even for a short time this summer will take thefollowing precautions, they will add greatly to theirprotection and peace of mind:
1. Lock securely all doors, windows or other en-trances to the house.
2. Inform the police that your house will be emp-ty. They can keep watch on it and try the doors andwindows at regular intervals.
3. Take with you or lock securely all jewelry,silverware, furs, valuable clothing and other articles
easily converted into cash by a thief.4. Be sure to suspend all deliveries, such as milk,
papers, mail. A heap of newspapers or milk bottles ona porch are sure signes that a house is unoccupied.
In view of the increasing widespread threat ofthe burglary hazard to property, local citizensshould take extra precautions at this time of the year.That is the most effective way they can aid crime con-trol in the community.

Entered at the Po3t Office, at Fords, N. J., as lecond elasi.nail matter on April 17, 193Q.
Some Questions About Laborreaders of th- BEACON are thoroughly in-
formed as to all of the details connected with the strikesnow causing unrest and uneasiness in a number of States.In fact, there are few citizens anywhere who understandthe situation in its full significance a.nd the editor of thisnewspaper is not included among the minority that does.
So with this introduction we will give a few views onthe present labor situation, without suggesting, in the leastthat an expert is expressing himself.
The right of labor to organize is generally recognized,except in the most reactionary circles. The right of laborto strike, it seems, is aJso acquiesced in.
With strikes, however, comes picketing, which is rarelywithout bad-feeling, some disorder and, too often, fatalfighting. Peaceful picketing, upheld by the Courts, is ex-tremely rare when mass workers are involved.
In time, public opinion will compel the creation of ef-fective mediation machinery or compulsory arbitration ofdisputes. Until then, however, there will be strikes and asfast as issues and grievances are adjusted new demandswill arise from new conditions. Among these demands, itis plain to see, will be the demand on the part of labor or-ganizations for the closed shop and the check-off.
With the express statement that our sympathies arewith labor and that, in the long run, we give labor our sup-port regardless of some questionable tactics, let us lookinto the closed shop and check-off ideas. Surely, thefriends of labor must expect responsible leaders to recog-nize the obligations that come to them and their organiza-tions when they acquire the power to represent workmen.
Let us assume, that in a small town somewhere, there isa plant employing 1,000 workers, who are divided be-tween two unian organizations and some non-union work-ers. One union has 350 members, another 400 and thereare 250 non-union men. What, now, are the rights, not ofthe owners of the plant, but of the workmen themselves?
Suppose, for example, that a strike is called by the un-ion with 400 members an.d that the other union men wantto work and that the non-union men want to work. Hasthe striking minority a right, as a union, to prevent theothers from working? Has the union, which called thestrike,, the right to demand that it be given exclusive rep-resentation of all the workers, and that out of the pay en-velope of each worker there be deducted dues for its treas-ury?
Frankly, we know not the answer. There arises thisquestion: Can labor effectively organize in a plant or in-dustry without the closed shop? Should the vote of a ma-jority of those employed decide this question? Would itbe possible, by means of regular elections, held in theplants and industries, to decide whether there shall be aclosed shop, an open shop or a mixed shop? Is it feasiblefor labor representation to be decided, not by strikes andbattles, but by the vote of the workers? If so, would theorganization of labor be reasonably effective to secure•the advantages which organization alone can secure forworking people ?
These are questions which we make no present attemptanswer but they are among the issues which will face notonly laborers of this country but all people in the nextfew years.

"T/ie Wrong Train*By FLOYD GIBBONS
YOU know, boys and girls, hope is a wonderful thing, andI'll be doggoned if I know what the human race would
do without it. When things look the blackest—when itseems to you that you haven't a chance to pull through-then it's hope that keeps you going until your luck turns orthings begin to straighten themselves out.
Hope has saved many a life—and I'm going to tell you about oneliie it saved, today. The life of a man who got himself into a horrible sit-uation just by taking the wrong train.
The man is Joe Seitsinger of Chicago. One evening li-te inNovember, in the year 1907, Joe was standing on the platform ofthe railroad station in the little town of Tyrone, Okl^., waitingfor a train. It was a cold night and Joe shivered and pulled hisCOftt tighter about him as lie paced up and down that platform.
It Wasn't the Local Train.Joe was waiting for No. 1—the local—but it was late that evening.
Unknown to Joe, it had been sidetracked to let N"o. 3—the limited—passit. At last a train came in sight and began to slow down.
That must be the local, Joe thought. The other trains never stoppedat little stations like Tyrone. The engine came up to the depot platform,moving very slowly, a string of cars along behind.
The vestibule doors of the cars were still closed, but Joe thought thetrain would stop in a few seconds and then those doors would open.
To save himself a walk down the platform, he swung aboard one ofthe cars, standing on the little ledge that protruded from below theclosed door, and at the same time, grabbing the two hand holds oneither side.
But the train didn't come .to a stop. Instead, it rolled righton past the station platform and began to pick up speed!That's when Joe should have acted. He knew right away that he had
made a mistake—realized that he had hopped on the Golden StateLimited instead of the local.
"I should have jumped from the train right there," he says, "but Iwas waiting for a better place to do it. We were gliding over switchesand spur tracks at the moment and I was afraid I might trip on them andturn an ankle."
Going Too Fast for Joe to Jump.Yes, Joe might even have broken a leg if he'd jumped there and got
his feet tangled up with those switches and spurs. But what he diddo nearly earned him a broken neck! By the time the train came toa suitable spot in which to jump, it was going so fast that Joe didn't DAREjump. 'Inside of two minutes it had picked up its full speed and was clip-ping off the miles at the rate of sixty or more an hour.
And there Joe hung, digging his toes into a little ledge hardly morethan an inch wide, on a bitter cold night, while the wind tore at him and
His I'light Was Well Nigh Hopeless.
threatened to wrench him loose. He pressed his face to the glass door,but he couJdn't rap on it. The wind was so strong thai he didn't darelet go of either one of the hand holds.
He yelled—yelled at the top of his voice—but Hie train wasmaking so much noise and the wind whipped his voice away sofast that no one heard him.Joe began wondering if he could liang on until the train reached
Hooker, the next station, a few miles away. Then, with a sickeningsensation in the pit of his stomach he realized that this train didn'teven hesitate at Hooker. It's next stop was Dalhart, Tex., nineij' mile?BEYOND Hooker. And he knew darned good and well that he cimidnever hang on that long.
Hope Was All He Had Left."The concussion of the air on my body," he says, "was forcing riv
back against the rear hand hold. It was bitter cold. I envied every person on that train—whether it was a baby in a comfortable berth, or abum on the rods beneath the train."
Joe's plight was pretty well nigh hopeless—but hopelessness doesn'tstop a guy from hoping. And hope was all Joe had left now. He began hoping the train would, for some reason, stop at Hooker.
The train rolled on. Now it was just a mile outside of HookerNow it was coming into the town. It passed Hooker without even sluw-ing down, and zipped right along toward Guymon. the next station on theline. Then Joe began hoping the train would stop at Guymon.
It was a pretty forlorn hope, bat it gave Joe something tolive for."We ran over some pretty rough country in the twenty miles between
Hooker and Guymon," he says. "Tr ere were a couple of high trestles-dandy places for a fellow in my position to commit suicide if he weren'tminded to stick it out and see the natural outcome of the adventure."
But Joe didn't dive oft of any Ires-les. Hope was still with him.telling him the train might stop. And Joe played along, even though heknew Hope was a doggone liar and it would be a miracle if that trainstopped anywhere between there and DaJhart
Then Came the Miracle.Joe's hands were getting stiff with the cold and he was having
difficulty hanging on around the curves. He knew that when they passedGuymon he wouldn't bt abl* :o play th*t game of hope much longerSoon his numbed hands would I*;. go and hu'd just drop off.
They v • appro.ichui* Cuymwi new, arid Joe figured his time onearth was L about up. The train was roaring down on the station,when suddenly, the miracle happened
The brakes began t>« gTbid—ilie train began to slow down—and up ahead Joe o*o!d see a r»d light a*d the arm of a sema-phore set at the "sUj»" slgnM.They stopped at the dej-ut, and sev«nl men ran out to take Joe
down from bis insecure perch."I was stiff as a b-ard," he says. "S*y e^t* were full 0/ cinders and
my face black as coal. I was frozen. I was taken into the depot, thawedout, questlonsd, a*d com»liment»d JO mj luctt. When I asked: "Whatmade hex stop?' tfcwy showed me a toe«*age. Someone at Hooker hadseen me and wired ahead."
And the message read: 'Man seen hanging on tront steps rifht-hand side fifth coach of Golden Limited. Stop her."

LETTER'.
Redistribution of Incomes Loomsas Definite New Deal Goal .
BS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTWASHINGTON.—Raising fury" with those whom the Treas-
ury labels as Tax Evaders Ex-traordinary, is just a step in theright direction . . . if the rightdirection is down Roosevelt'sRoad to Redistribution.
The President reiterates thatthere's a rainbow at the end ofthe road. He thinks his share-the-wealtb program will give adecent standard of living to 40,-000,000 persons who have neverdared to hope for such a stand-ard before. * '
Just for good measure, thePresident's money plan is saidby its advocates to be a pan-acea for depressions and booms.We're told that we shan't haveto ride that well worn businesscycle any more. There's to be amerry-go-round of money in-stead. New Deal economists havepersuaded Roosevelt it will oper-ate this way:
First you put the money In thehands of those who will spend itfastest, meaning those for whomit will buy the necessities of life.Then the grocer or the landlordspends it, and, eventually, itgets into the hands of Mr J P.Morgan or somebody.
If the rich man is compelledto pay a big fat slice of his in-come to the government, thenthe money will be back in cir-culation promptly, and oncemore will turn up in the pocketsof the man who will spend itfastest.
This is known as the velocitytheory of money, and it wasone of the things Dr. Townsendhad in his plan.
T^HE President's economist-ad-A visers have neglected almostcone oi our national problems in
considering the redistributionprogram. They claim for It toothat by such legislation as thepending wage and hour bill,employment will be spread tomillions, and the wages of mil-lions will be Increased, «o you'lleliminate the relief problem.
With more people at work formore money there will be sucban increase in national spend-ing that prices will come down,and production schedules will bestepped up to the maximum.
Enlarged volume productionmeans a bigger volume ot profits,says this school of economist!,and the result will be apparentin a bigger national Income,which, Roosevelt said at a re-cent press conference, wouldmake it possible to balance thebudget
It has come to be a well ac-:epted New Deal theory that, forone reason, the government mustredistribute incomes so high In-comes will not drain off an un-due share of buying power Intooverinvestment. Overinvestmentis defined In this case as reserv-ing money for or tying up moneyin production equipment, whichwill never be needed unless aconsumer market is createdfirst.
Reasoning along these line*,the administration li trying towork out a selective tax schemtwhich will go after "excessprofits."
The government wants the in-tercorporate d i v i d e n d taxboosted; it sees holding com-panies as non-productive devicesfor draining off the wealth andwants them done away with;and it will probahly find theidea of upping income taxei •recurrently attractive ont.

CAMP TIME is coming soon, Dr.Philip M. Stimson, of New Yorkhospital, has this to say to parentsabout camps. "A wide-awake par-ents wants to know—Is my childgoing to be reasonably safe? Whatare the people like who are toguide my child's life these twomonths? Then the wise parent willask about activities. Is the pro-gram well planned with provisionlor individual differences? Is therejoy in living and doing? Is workheld honorable? The best methodof learning about a camp is by having an interview with the director.Directories of summer camps areto be had from Boy and GirlScouts, Camp Fire Girls, Y. M. C.A., and Y. W. C. A. Having chosena camp, parents should see that thechild's teeth and tonsils are in goodcondition and it is well to haveyour ow,n doctor give .him an ex-amination and send a report ofhis findings and recommendations
to the camp director.MALARIA is spread in but one

DOGS and other animals do notperspire. They lose heat in hotweather from the mouth—panting.When a man exposed to the sun,fails to lose the required heat tokeep his temperature down, he isin danger of sunstroke. On hot,humid days, drink plenty of wat-er. Three gallons a day are re-quired by men working all day inthe sun. A sunstruck person shouldbe put in the shade at once andgiven water. Placing a wet sheetover him will help reduce the tem-perature until the doctor comes.Sometimes permanent injury anddeath result from sunstroke.
IT IS well known that anger andfear do things to one's insides. Itis not so well understood that wor-ry is virtually chronic foar and re-sentment chronic anger.

Although many are inclined togrumble at the annual lull inbroadcasting activities, RichardHim be r, wiio is now enjoying: hisfirst vacation in nearly live years,thinks thai it really is a blessing toartists. "The puSlic would soontire ol its favorites," says Himber,"if they failed to leave the airoccasionally. Also the stars bene-fit because they avoid staleness andreturn to radio with fresh materialand a brighter outlook. But ofeven greater importance, the factthat newcomers get an opportunityto demonstrate their worth in theabsence of established personali-ties."
What Himber says is true. Takethe case of high-ranking perform-ers like Jack Benny, Fred Allen,Phil Baker, James Melton, EddieCantor, who have taken annualleaves and suffered no loss in pres-tige. On the other side of thefence are the persons who havelaunched successful careers whilefilling in for their seniors. Stoop-nagle and Budd rose to fame assummer replacements, as did Timand Irene, and a number of vocal-ists, including Jerry Cooper, DelCasino, Patti Chapin, Buddy Clarkand Bcnay Venuta, all of whomwere given a hearing when depart-ing headliners left behind availabletime.
Who knows, maybe this summerwill bring more stars to the airwaves.

A NEW WORLDS iRECORD FOR THRILLS!^
REGENT THEATRE, Elizabeth.The sultry romance of the trop-
ics. The flashing color of the Navy.The tense drama of a young wifefighting for the man she loves.The stark excitement of disaster inthe air.
These are the elements fromwhich the New Universal has made"Wings Over Honolulu," a story ofnaval aviation opening at the Re-gent Theatre.
With Wendy Barrie and RayMilland in the leading roles,"Wings Over Honolulu" hits a newhigh in dramatic entertainment.Miliand scored previously in 'ThreeSmart Girls."
"1 Met Him in Paris," whichbrought Claudette Colbert, Mel-
vyn Douglas and Robert Young tothe screen of the Regent Theatre,is a cumedy as crisp und spark-ling as the snows of the SwissAlps, against which most of the ac-tion takes place.
Miss Colbert, in the roles of ayoung American girl on a long-pianned vacation in Europe, is giv-en planty of opportunity to dis-play those comedy talents whichshe used so well in "It HappenedOne Night." and "The Bride ComesHome.'' In this new film, she hastwo leading men with whom tospar in conversational give-and-take. Not only is the dialogue keenand snappy, but the rough andtumble action and incidental by-play are equally mad and deliro-uus. "I Met Him In Paris" is play-ed with delicious freedom and wisecracking action.

The Royals took the lead in thefirst inning by scoring one run butlost the lead in the same framewhen Dalina clouted a home rundiive for the Tavern combine withtwo mates aboard.
Both teams scored single runs inthe third but the Royals rallied inihc fifth and sent two playersacross the plate to tie the scoreagain. The Tavern nine countedone run in their half of the fifthto again take the lead and addedanother marker in the sixth tolead by two runs going into thelast inning.

For A Happy HolidayThe "Glorious Fourth" can be just as glorious as we
choose to make it. This year the long week-end createdby the holiday will intensify the hazards which the Fourth
j always produces. The watchword should be "Take care!"! Independence Day celebrates the independence of a! nation. The coming week-end will demonstrate vividly the, modern interdependence of people. Great streams of traf-: fie pouring over the highways will show how essential aremutual regard and courtesy among drivers. Fireworks will
: demonstrate it too. A "firecracker thrown by another" is,, according to the National Conservation Bureau, the great-! est single cause of the tremendous number of fireworksi accidents every Fourth of July. At the beaches and lakes,; imprudent swimmers will again remind us that humanlife must be risked to save the life of a drowning person.
i Reasonable care divides a happy holiday from thetragedies which mar it. Reasonable care will insure you,your family and the other fellow against mishap. For in-
, stance:] If you drive—see that your car is in good mechanical1 condition. Check tires, lights, brakes, steering mechanism,windshield wiper, rear-view mirror, horn. Drive skillfullyat a reasonable speed. Observe the rules and courtesies ofthe road.
If you must use fireworks—give yourself plenty ofspace. Keep away from children, animals and buildings.Throw firecrackers away from people and inflammablematerials, not at them. Never hold an exploding firecrack-er, nor set them off under a bottle or can. Cauterize thesmallest wound immediately—tetanus poisoning worksfast and kills.
If you go swimming—swim in safe and protectedplaces. Beware of strong tides and currents. Know yourlimits as a swimmer. Wait two hours after eating. Avoidshallow places.

Especially timely, in view of Premier Blum's present efforts toabolish the famous French penal colony in Guiana, "DEVIL'S ISLAND"the distinguished author, Morris Gilbert of Paris, has arranged a ser-ies of six articles dealing with "The Truth About Devil's Island."
"Devil's Island," is a name which has circled the world. It hasbecome synonymous, in the popular mind, with oppression, penalservitude. Erroneously, it has come to mean, the whole French penalsystem which hold forth on the mainland ol South America (FrenchGuiana) six miles away.
Devil's Island is one of three smal Uslands known as the lies deSalut (Islands of Safety) which cluster together off the mainland. Itis but a small part o£ the French penal colony and has been reservedfor traitors. But it was given deathless notoriety by the four yearconlinemen there of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus on- an unfounded chargeof treason of which he was latter acquitted. After his departure in1889, the island was empty for years. The World War crammed it.Now it is languishing again. We quote the opening paragraph^ ofMorris Gilbert's excellent narrative, to give you an idea ol what youmay expect from the entire series of six articles which will appearin our Feature Magazine startng today.
"Eight hundred men were spared a one-way passage to France'sofficial limbo last autumn, when the government of Leon Blum can-celed the annual shipment of convicts to Cayenne.
"The prisoners were ready. "La Martiniere" the notorious pvis-onship, was in harbor at the lie de Re. Steam was up. It was circu-lating not only in the engines, but also in the gruesome pipes aboutthe prisoners' cages—ready to scald any insurrection into quietude.
"Down in Guiana all was ready too—the heat, the fever, thestenches, the jungle.
"Orders came through to halt the expedition. The People's Frontgovernment was the first in France whose gorge had risen effectivelyagainst the abominable penal system to which that batch of prison-ers was doomed. The humanitarian aims of the Blum cabinet pre-vailed."
