Mussolini does not believe that
old "supply and demand" is neces-
sarily omnipotent. While cutting
four per cent from the value of Ital-
ian money, he forbids any increase
in prices, any rent increase for two
years. That experiment will be
watched with Interest. The word
"money," most important in the
world to many, has less real mean-
ing than any other word in the dic-
tionary, nobody knowing anything
about it.
Senator Borah Maintains
Independent Attitude
SENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH
of Idaho, whose attitude in the
Presidential campaign is a matter
of great interest to all parties, has
declared he would
' confine his attention
to state matters; but
then, being Irked by
some criticism from
Republicans he went
further and said he
was "going : fter the
República party."
The veteran said he
had been accused of
not being regular.
"Well, what is a
regular?" he asked.
i "A regular is a man with no ideas,
who waits for someone to tell him
what to do. My idea of being regular
is in doing what you believe to be
right in the interests of the people
you represent.
"Let this be understood—I'm tell-
ing all parties, Republican, Demo-
cratic, Union—I'm going to advo-
cate the things 1 believe in whether
they cross party lines or not."

A new law in Paraguay compels
evei"y able-bodied man to work,
whether he wants to or not. Here
men that want Jobs can't get them.
There men can get jobs, but don't
want them.
The general idea is good, but if
all able-bodied men had been com-
pelled to work always the human
race would still be far back in the
dark ages. One of the greatest
Greeks said truly that bodily slav-
ery was necessary, because it gave
leisure to a few, leisure made
thought possible and thought cre-
ated progress.
If all men had worked hard, by
compulson, there would have been
no deliberate thinking. Slavery
would be necessary now for the
world's progress had not machines
taken the place of slaves.
Scientists of the Smithsonian In-
stitution announce discovery by Dr.
Hrdlickn in the Aleutian Islands, o(T
the coast of Alaska, of a skull that
once held the biggest brain on rec-
ord, excepting that of the Russian
novelist TurgcniefT, who had a brain
cavity of 2.030 cubic centimeters.
The biggest American brain be-
longed to Daniel Webster, 2,000 cu-
bic centimeters.
But brain size and weight are
not everything. Beethoven, with a
1,750 cubic centimeter skull, will
outlive in importance Webster, the
French naturalist Cuvier, and other
"big brains."
Adaptation to usefulness is the im-
portant thing. It is saic1 that the
eye of the eagle is twice as heavy
as the eagle's brain.
Wine bottled in Germany here-
after will have, instead of a cork,
a plug of German wood.
To help make Germany Indepen-
dent of the outside world, the use of
cork, that does not grow in Ger-
many. is forbidden. This will save
10,000.000 marks a year, spent
abroad for cork.
German wood, according to au-
thorities, is cheaper, better, resists
breakage, acid, alkali, and elimi-
nates cork taste.
One question is. will in? wooden
cork swell up at the lower end suf-
ficiently to overcome the pressure
of gas in a champagne bottle?
At Jonesvillc, Va., Rev. T. Ander-
son, in a demonstration of faith, al-

three timet, assuring his congrega-

A copperhead moccasin snake bit
him twice on the right hand; a
rattlesnake once on the left.
Unfortunately Rev. Mr. Anderson,
member of the Holiness persuasion,
died soon afterward.
We go up and down quickly In the
United States, particularly in new
enterprises. William Fox, once one
of the most energetic, successful of
moving picture men, now a bank-
rupt, tells the court that In 1030 he
was worth one hundred million dol-
lars; now he has only "odds and

thousands, here and there.

Pessimism Prevails at
Last League Sessions
D ESS1 M ISM and discontent
* marked the final session of the
League of Nations assembly, the
leaders admitting that little had
been accomplished. Carlos Saave-
dra Lamas of Argentina, president
of the assembly, even asked if he
i might not raise the question wheth-
er "civilization is on the verge of a
final breakup."
The question of reforming t h c
league covenant provoked a bitter
controversy on whether nonmember
states should be consulted. Russia
was understood to be anxious par-
ticularly to bar German influence
and achieved a minor triumph sincc
no definite action to solicit nonmem-
ber co-operation was taken. A com-
mittee of twenty-eight was named
to study reform proposals.
The assembly approved reports of
its economic and disarmament com-
mittees. The economic report
1 carried a British proposal to create
a comission to study accessibility
of raw materials. The Uníiüd States
and other nonmembers would be in-
vited to participate. The report of
the disarmament committee ap-
proved the reconvening of the world
disarmnnent conference at an early
date.
Disorders in Palestine Are
Dropped by the Arabs
A RABS of Palestine, who hnd
** been on "strike" for 175 days
in protest against unrestricted im-
migration of Jews, were persuaded
by the British to call off the strike,
which had been accompanied by
great disorders and the killing of
several hundred persons. The Arab
high committee issued an appc'•.! «o
Arabs throughout the country to re-
turn to work quietly, and this com-
mand was obeyed generally. Sir
Arthur Wauchope, British high com-
missioner, was said to have in-
formed the British government that
it was now safe for the royal corn-
mission of investigation to begin its
work of inquiring into the grievances
of the Arabs.
According to a Hebrew newspaper
of Jerusalem, the Arabs have ar-
ranged for backing by Italian Fas-
cists for their aspirations Also the
Moslem authority administering Is-
lamic church property is reported to
be prepared to sell Catholics a Chris-
tian holy place on Mount Zion.
n
Austria Private Armies
Forccd to Dissolve
URT SCHUSCHNIGG, chancellor
of Austria, is taking his place
among the European dictators. In
order to consolidate military power
in his own hands, he
decreed the dissolu-
tion of all private
armies, this being
aimed especially at
the Fascist Helm-
wehr headed by
Prince Ernst v o n
Starhemberg T h e
prince directed his
followers to obey
the edict, and Major
Fey, Starhemberg's
rival for control of
the Helmwehr,
called on the elements lecognlzlng
his Idadership to preserve order.
The chancellor's order also affect-
ed his own Catholic storm troops.
All the private troops were ordered
consolidated with the Austrian state
militia. This would Increase Aus-
tria's official armed forces to about
158,000 men. The dissolution decree
met strong opposition within the
cabinet, and was voted after three
ministers had walked out
Schuschnigg's task now is to sc-
tually disarm the private armies. If
he succeeds in doing this, his com-
plete control over Austria may be
conceded. It la recalled that the
Helmwehr was ordered to disarm
in 1931, that the government seiiecd
uany weapons, and that s year
John L. Lewis States
Labor Pcace Terms
\yiLLIAM GREEN, president
* * of the A F. of L., who had just
been calling on President Roosevelt
at Hyde Park, N Y.,*told the news-
papermen that the
prospects for peace
between the warring
factions in the fed-
eration were better
and that those par-
ticipating in the con-
troversy were be
coming "more tem-
perate." However.
that same evening
John L. Lewis, the
dynamic leader oí , , ,
n .v, ™ Lewis
the C o m m i 11 ee
for Industrial Organization, rather
dashed the aforesaid prospects for
peace. In Washington he laid down,
as the only basis for restoration of
peace in the ranks of organized
labor, a program consisting of these
two propositions:
1. Revocation by the executive
council of the American Fedeia-
tion of Labor of the order sus-
pending ten C I. O unions on
charges of insurrection.
2 Isolation of certain mass pro-
duction industries which would be
organized strictly on Lewis' "one
big union" theory.
It had been stated that David
Dubinsky, head of one of the sus-
pended unions, had submitted a
compromise pea c e proposal, but
Lewis told the correspondents that
he knew of no change in feeling be-
tween the buttling factions; that
he had made no move for peace and
contemplated none; that the C. I O
drive to unionize the steel Industry
was "proceeding satisfactorily" .ind
that the Dubinsky proposal w a s
similar to the one previously offered
to and rejected by trie A. F. of L.

Russia Angrily Warns
Fascist Nations
HELP given the Spanish Insur-
gents by Fascist countries so
enraged soviet Russia that she gave
notice that, unless It ceased she
would free herself from any obli-
gations to the agreement for neu-
trality. The representatives of tho
27 nations on the international com-
mittee of non - intervention in the
Spanish war were about to meet In
London, u n d Moscow's challenge
caused a real sensation. Molseyvich
Kagan, soviet delegate on the com-
mittee. specifically named Portugal,
Italy and Germany as the offenders
and called for an investigation. It
is believed that If Russia is not
satisfied In this matter she will send
airplanes and other war material to
the Spanish government.
The committee refused to take any
action of the Russian complaint,
averring that tho charges were not
specific enough.
Spanish Fascists pushed their
lines so closely around Madrid that
they called on the government to
surrender the capital immediately
and thus save It from a destructive
bombardment. An airplane fleet
showered the city with circulars tell-
Ing the citizens that further resist-
ance was useless. One of the most
threatening of General Franco's
advances was directed at Aran-
Juez, whose capture would cut off
Madrid's food supply from ths Med-
iterranean.
later some 40,000 Heimwehr men
appeared fully armed and uni-
formed. Von Starhemberg may not
be really squelched this time, either.
It Is a certainty that he has a power-
ful friend in Premier Mussolini of
Italy.
Typhoon in Philippines
Kills Many Persons
ONE OF the worst typhoons in the
history of the Philippines swept
across Luzon island, killing scores
of persons and destroying villages.
At least I0D perished and the au-
thorities feared the death list would
be much larger for four hundred
were reported iriis.sing Eighty two
bodies were recovered from the city
of Cabanatuan alone.
Waterway Money Allotted
for Atlantic Coast
\/r EMBERS of the Atlantic Deep-
er Waterways association, as-
sembling in Trenton. N. J., for their
annual convention, were informed by
President Roosevelt that funds to-
taling $24,000.000 have been allotted
for waterway improvements along
the Atlantic coast during 1937. In
a letter to President J. Hampton
Moore of the association, to be read
to the convention, Mr. Roosevelt
alto said:
"This year has been noteworthy
In witnessing the completion of the
1,435 mile inside route of the intra-
coastal waterway from Trenton to
Miami Much credit for this accom-
plishment belongs to your associ-
ation and it is to be congratulated
therefor Other waterway projects
of permanent value to Uie nation
sponsored by your Organization have
been completed or are progressing
in a satisfactory manner."

Wisdom Is Person«l
Most of the wisdom one acquirw—
one caii't ^ommunJeofe io anyone
else. Each'man's life is his own.
Dreams no more come true than
most suspicions.
The "hsnd" who watches the
elock will never be the man of IIm

A monkey never seems to have
any reuose. Its life is all excite-
ment as it is for some men.
Check-Rein Needed
One should be glad he has emo>
tlons; but keep a rein on them.
No creature, human or other-
wise, can welcome you quite as
wholeheartedly us a dog.
No greater treasure in given to a
man than a close-mouthed friend.
It is the only kind that Is fit to be.
One hus never fully lived until
he has spent a year on a farm and
explored the resources of the coun-
try general store. It's like Crusoe
exploring his ship.
