Paper Doubtful
Davis Can Help
PARIS—The newspaper t L'Ere
Noigrele, which reflects the views of
the' radical Socialists party of France,
to which Premier Daladier and Edou-
erd Herriot belong, publishes the
following editorial:
"No one should be deluded as to the
efficacy of the help which Norman
Davis can bring to the cause of dis-
armament at Geneva.
"In the first place, the American
delegate perhaps has no longer the
necessary authority to plan an active
and important personal r^le. Norman
Davis has seemed during the past few
years to represent interests much too
different from the general interests of
th world for his voice to be now lis-
tened to with favor and to permit his
advice to have an effect and be follow-
ed. .

CHICAGO, HI.—Bringing five spe-

group to be ptepjuvd in the hfUl of

Natural History, Julius Fresser and
Frank C. Wonder of the museum's
taxidermy staff have returned to Chi-
cago from an adventurous expedition
to the Mexican island of Guadalupe,
lying off the coast of Lower Cali-
fornia. The expedition was conducted
aboard the yacht Volero III, owned
and commanded by Captain G. Allen
Hancock of Los Angeles. The party
sailed from 8an Diego on May 28.
Dr. Harry M. Wegelforth. president of
the Zoological Society of San Diego,
who, with Captain Hnncoek, arranged
for the expedition was in the party.
Many thrills were experienced in
the hunt for the elephant seals, which
are the largest of all seals and which
until recently, seemed to be in dan-
ger of being exterminated.

Communities which are now laying plans for public works
developments, should not overlook the chance that is offered to
modernize their fire departments.
This kind of a project fits in perfectly with the ideal of com-
munity improvement. It is an essential expenditure, as distinct
from one which simply uses up money and produces little per-
manent good. It benefits all the people, and not just a few. It
means money in pocket—through lower taxes, as taxes inevitably
rise when taxable property is destroyed—and through savings in
life and buildings, jobs and incomes.

A TAX-DESTROYED BUILDING
Up to a short time ago a 20-story skyscraper stood in the
famous Loop district of Chicago. The building returned a rent
of $60,000 a year. A Chicago business man was offered the op-
portunity to buy it for $6.00. And he turned it down!
Since this amazing little story appeared recently in the editori-
al columns of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin. As the knowing will
'have guessed, the trouble with the building was taxes. They came
ot $40,000 a year. And the owners were in arrears an entire year.
To continue to operate they would have had to pay out $80,000.
The rent return didn't justify it.
And the result? Well, everyone lost: The owners of the
building, who had invested money in it and were finally forced
to destroy it in self-defence; the city, which was out thousands in
taxes; and, lastly, the general public, which must make up the
taxes the building would normally pay.
This is the old story of excessive taxation, and it has been
told a thousand times. Bankruptcy, unemployment, industrial
recession, slowed community progress—these are the inevitable
corollaries of wasteful and expensive government It is time our
law-makers read the handwriting on the wall.
STAY ON THE FARM
. W. P. McGuire, editor of the Southside Virginia News, Peters-
burg, Virginia, has a proposal that deserves wide attention. It
!• simple and it is important. And the crux of it is: Why not
lnep farm boys on farms?
In pursuing hiB proposal, he asks 27 pregnant questions con-
cerning the trend of young men away from the farm and possible
ways of reversing its direction. It is certainly obviouc that boys
who have been reared on farms and have been intimately associat-
ed with the craft of agriculture since infancy, are best equipped
to make the farmers of tomorrow. And it is equally true that these
bojrs have been marching to the cities in armies, for a great many
years, impelled by the hope of making their fortune in a life of
which they know little or nothing.
In the years following the war, this away-from-the-farm drift
added hundreds of thousands of boys to the urban population.
And when the depression came, it was an important factor in caus-
ing the worst employment situation in our history. Most of the
boys had never learned any trade especially well—they took any
eld job they could find, and it was usually of a sort requiring little
skill and no training or aptitude. They were the first to be let out
when production slowed. They are likely to be the last taken back.
We have appropriated millions for agricultural relief and
federal organisations to administer it. Certainly it
va who can seriously contest the
rightnees of this theory and support
the value of unconditional disarma-
ment.

D&ladier Visits
Mighty Fortress
Facing Germany
PARIS—Fiance's new $100,000,000
fortification system on the German
border, extending 186 miles westward
from the Bhine, was inspected by
premier Edouard Daladier.
The fortifications, of most modern
design, are claimed to be practically
impregnable.
Political significance was attached
to their inspection at this time, par-
ticularly as a result of a press state-
ment issued by Premier Daladier be-
fore he left Paris for the tour.
"We are resolved to guarantee the
political and economic independence
of Austria," the statement said. "We
have the right to make sure of our
own liberty, which is the more re-
spected when it is known we are cap-
able of guaranteeing it . . . The
smaller, less populated, and weaker
states of Europe have the same right
to a free life . . .
Several French deputies in speeches
expressed fear of war in the near
future as a result of recent tenden-
cies in the Fascist regime of Italy
and Germany.

Boy In 674th Day
Of Slumber
MEMPHIS^ Tennessee Stricken
nearly two years ago by the dreaded
disease of sleeping sickness, Joe Hug-
gins, 9-year-old Memphis school boy,
entered his 674th day of uninterrupt-
ed slumber today.
The boy lasped into his long sleep
on October 21, 1931. Every treatment
known to medical science has been re-
sorted to in vain to rout the baffling
malady.
Joe's affliction has been diagnosed
as encephalitis lathargica. Other phy-
sicians have ascribed his coma to a
brain tumor, while others have admitt-
ed themselves frankly puzzled.
Part of each day, the sleeping
pedition of Field museum's participa-
tion in the expedition was contributed
by Mrs. Emily Crane Charbourne.
