U to give to every man his own.—
JjETWATER IS \
GORGING AHEAD ••••
You have only to look about you and discover ample
* evidence to the effect that Sweetwater is entering an
;£>it era 0f unprecedented growth.
This growth is not the result of any particular
booming influence such as oil, the location of a new
industry, or some such similar activity that often
provides the impetus of a community's expan-
sion, but, on the other hand this growth ife
because of the inherent good qualities that have
been builded into the community since its in-
ception.
Sweetwater is the logical location for a substantial
city and it is the greater realization of this fact that
is sending it on to its destined place in the sun.
Living conditions in Sweetwater are about as
near perfect as you will find, though you search
this country over. Its altitude of some 2100 feet
is considered ideal; its normal season is not too
dry nor is it too wet. Although its climate pro-
vides four distinct seasons, we do not have the
extremes that are found elsewhere. Its fiercest
"norther" would hai'dly make a dent in a Mon-
tana blizzard for instance.
It is therefore because of these natural advantages
and the fact that it has become through the years,
a home city, a transportation center, a trading center,
a livestock center, an industrial center and an an agricul-
tural center- that Sweetwater is pushing on to its
rightful place as one of the great cities of the Southwest.

TFtTielfkene'ss of George Wash-
ington was altogether fitting to
follow that of Franklin on the
first American postage stamps,
that of Thomas Jefferson was no
less well chosen.
For by 1851, when the first
full series of U. S. postage was is-
sued, history had already placed
Thomas Jefferson in imperish-
able perspective. He had drafted
the Declaration of Independence,
served in the Continental Con-
gress, revised the statutes of Vir-
ginia, served as minister (o
France, secretary of state undei
Washington, was twice elected
President, founded the University
of Virginia, and had negotiated the
Louisiana Purchase.
When he died July 4, 1826, 50th
anniversary of the Declaration oi
Independence, he went secuit
in his stature as Ihc most con-
spicuous of American apostles oi
democracy and one of the great-
est liberals of modern times. Aside
from Washington, he was the only
President on the 1851 series. Tiic
five-cent stamp, brown, show-
ing Jefferson after a painting by
Stuart, is reproduced below, one
and one-half times actual size.

BACKSTAGE IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY DITCHER
WASHINGTON — Nomi-
nation of Congressman
Scott Lucas in the Illinois
Democratic senatorial pri-
mary was displeasing to
Jim Farley, encouraging to
advocates of good govern-
ment, disappointing to
militant labor and incon-
clusive as it affected the
political fortunes of Mr.
Roosevelt.
Farley had insisted on
backing the notorious Kel-
ly-Nash Machine of Chicago
in its support of Mike
Igoe, and Assistant Attorney
General Joe Keenan, one of
Farley's generals, went out
to make a speech at an Igoe
dinner. Labor's Non-Parti-
san League also supported
Igoe against Lucas, who
last December voted to
recommit the wage-hour
bill.
No New Dealer
Lucas is no New Dealer
and if he is elected, as seems
likely, he will be more sat-
isfactory to conservatives
than is the incumbent Sen-
ator Dieterich, who could
always be depended on by
the administration. New
Dealers less "practical" than
Mr. Farley, however, are
glad the Kelly-Nash ma-
chine was licked and think
the inference is that Roose-
velt should be victorious
any time he wants openly
to appeal on behalf of a
clean candidate against a
corrupt big city machine.
Roosevelt, himself kept
hands off the Illinois pri-
mary and his relations with
Governor Horner, whose
state machine put Lucas
over, remain friendly and
close.
Further conclusions are
difficult because a horde of
Republicans, with no hot
senatorial battle of their
own, voted in the Demo-
cratic primary — mostly
for Lucas.
Congressmen from other
states are encouraged to
note that all incumbent
congressmen from Illinois
were nominated. There had
been fear that voters, sour-
ed by depression, were like-
ly to hoot an unduly large
number of congressmen now
sitting.
Promotion Due?
The next conspicuous
promotion of a woman und-
er this administration is
likely to be that of Miss
Marion J. Harron, only
female member of the U. S.
Board of Tax Appeals. Miss
Harron is being considered
for one of the two new fed-
eral district judgeships in
California which Congress Is
about to provide.
Regarded as one of the
ablest members of the tax
board, Miss Harron Is a
lawyer who has specialized
in corporation organization
and reorganization, bank-
ing, taxation, anti-trust laws
and other fields of finance.
She practiced law for 10
years in Berkleley, Calif.,
and in New York City and
was appointed to the board
in July, 1930. Now she
travels about the country
sitting as a trial judge on
taxpayer appeals from
Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue assessments.
Facing a crowded calend-
ar in New York recently,
Miss Harron called in all
the lawyers, asked how
much time each would take
and allotted the time so
the lawyers wouldn't have
to hang around waiting un-
necessarily. The calendar
was finished in spectacular-
ly fast time, partly because
hearings ran past the din-
ner hour. Other board mem-
bers, accustomed to fin-
ishing at 4:30, grumbled.
Sugary Legislator
Sweetest congressman
of the year is Charles A.
Plumley of Vermont, who
not only has just sent a
small package of Vermont
maple sugar to each of the
530 members — and to
correspondents as well,
bless his soul!—but ac-
companies the gifts with
the message:
"It stands the undefeated,
undisputed, unchallenged
champion in its class: the
best in the world. More-
over it is 100 per cent pure
( unadulterated, and the gen-
I nine article;—so also is my
regard for you."

HOLLYWOOD — All over the
lot: Max Rosenbloom. the fight-
er-actor, crouches at the mas-
sive-looking steel door of a fur
vault and holds an oxy-acetylene
torch against it. But Slapsie's
safe-side manner is not convinc-
ing. In the middle of the scene
he turns and smirks into the
camera with a "How'm I cloin?"
expression. Director Antatole
Litvak cusses and says, "Cut".
The safe-cracking scene, for
"The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse"
must be filmed again. But the
center plate of the vault door
has been marred by the torch,
and it's too hot to repaint. Work-
men are ordered to replace the
plate, and they have a couple
of spares for just such emer-
gencies. First. though, they
must open the door, which is
imposingly studded with dials
and handles.
It doesn't yield to pulling or
pounding. Finally a studio car-
penter notices the tussle. "Hey,
wait a minute", he calls. "I've
got the combination." He goes
over and, with his hammer,
pulls a 10-penny nail that has
been driven into the floor and
against a corner of the door.
It swings open.
Peace, Peace
For one of the Ritz Brothers'
black-out scenes in "Kentucky
Moonshine", Jimmy is a radio
ma.ster-of-ceremonies and in-
troduces A! and Harry as a
couple of distinguished foreign
diplomats who will speak on
peace. The latter are standing
side by side before the micro-
phone and are dressed in top-
pers and tails, false whiskers
and with silk ribbons across
their shirt fronts.
In turn, they make a heavily-
accented harangue about their
respective countries' desire for
peace. They offer assurances of
mutual respect and confidence.
They pat each other on the

back. Then they turn face to

identical jeweled dagger stick-
ing between the shoulder#
blades of each of them.
Ritz Witchery
Another timely act is a bur-
lesque of "Snow White". Harry
Ritz does the scene in which the®
queen turns herself into a
witch. Minces to the magic mir-
ror and intones: "Mirror, mir-
ror, on the wall, who's the
fairest one of all?" ^
The grimacing pan of Al^
Ritz appears in the mirror and
gives the gueen the old up-and-

crow!" sneers the mirror.
More Smoke Then ... Q
Andrea Leeds again is climb-
ing the stairs of a theatrical
rooming house. But this time
she's running,, and coughing
and choking as she runs. The
coughing is not simulated, for^
the set is billowing with heavy
yellow sulphur smoke. Tho
place is supposed to be on firo
and Miss Leeds is trying to res-
cue her "Letter of Introduction"^
which gives the picture its®
name.
Director John Stahl, choking
too, runs ahead of the actress
and waves a gauze screen to agi-
tate the smoke and so that the^
camera can catch a few clear
glimpses of Miss Leeds. Also
out of sight are stagehands,
who hold belching smoke pots.

NO mutter what Atmospheric temperatures man can endure on
this earth, he has a small ehitnce of living if his body temperature
ever drops to 93 degrees, or rises to 110, and even to stray outside
the 97 to 101-degree range is usually a sign something is wrong.
