TRILLIONS AND OUADRILLIONS

be illustrated by a very simple
statement. We all know how rap
idly the expert counter of coins
will manipulate them. The treas
ury experts at Washington will
count 1000 silver dollars in one
hour, but that is their limit; work.
ing 8 hours a day an expert will
count one million silver dollars in
81 working days, but that is only
the beginning of the billion, and
if this same counter were to go
on counting the dollars at this
rate, 8 hours in every working day
of the year, he will require 100
years in which to count one bill
lion of them, and when we further
remember that the trillion is
thousand times as much as the
billion we begin to get at least a
dim comprehension of the quantl-
tative bigness of the "trillion" in
which the currencies of at least q
countries are now being measured.
If, to count one billion silver coins
would require the continuous serv-
ice of one man one hundred years,
to count trillion coins would re-
quire the service Of one thousand
men one hundred years.

REFUSED TO JUMP
OUT OF WINDOW
Witness in Arnold Trial Tells of
Strange Incident in Business Life
of Man on Trial.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)


Superior, Wis = Because J. F. Cass,
Madison, Wis, banker and former as
sistant treasurer of the Madison Bond
company, refused to comply with re-
quest to "jump out of the window
made by Victor H. Arnold, former
head of the bond company, Cass was
ordered out Of the bond company Of
fees, he testified on the stand in fed
eral district court here this morning
where Arnold is being tried on charge
of using the mails to defraud
Cass testified that he had resigned
from his position one day and on the
next was called back for an interview
in Arnold's office. The conversation
took place in the Madison Bond com
pany offices.
Arnold was impressing Cass with the
loyalty he expected from his employees
"If I said you jump out of that win
dow would you jump ?" Arnold asked
Cass, the latter testified. Cass replied
mo, not for you or anyone eles."
AS a result the witaess testified he
was ordered out of. the office.
When called upon to explain this
incident farther during a cross ex-
animation of the government witness,
he declared that he did not take Ar
mold seriously as to actually jump
ing out of the window, but that he
believed Arnold would want him to
"do something equally as ridiculous"

Judge Slater to Ask the Supreme Court

Law enforcement circles in Kenosha
were thrown into Juror today upon
the receipt of communication by the
district attorneys Office from Herman

missioner, informing local officials
that a court in Madison has held that
search warrants issued on informa-
ton and belief were invalid and that
in the future all warrants must be
issued only on afidavits claiming ac-
tual knowledge of violations Of law.
There are now in the courts of Ke-
nosha not less than fifty cases rising
from raids staged on search warrants
issued on information and belief which
would be thrown out of court in the
event that ruling of the lower court

Where are the other 977 pupils

there is one compromising fact to

least three European countries
other than Russia regularly and
officially state their outstanding
paper currency. The latest reports
from Germany put the note cir

What is a trillion? We know
of course, says the Trade Record
of The National City Bank of New

in the attempt to grasp the mean

are now measuring the multiplied

Fascist AREN'T
JUGGLING WORDS
MussOIini's Minister Drops
Hint of InternatiOn-
al Policy.
PEOPLE HAVE FAITH

Rome - eve Fascist are not &C
customed to juggling words. Our
stand is clear, definite, positive"
This statement came brusquely from
Alberto de Stefani, Italy's minister OF
finance. 1t came in the first news
paper interview he has given-a rare
occasion when a cabinet member other
than Premier Mussolini has spoken
publicly for Italy.
Minister De Stefani, however, made
no direct reference to the tense sltua-
ton created between Italy and Greece
bv reason of Mussolini's ultimatum de-
manding indemnity and apology for the
killing of five Italian officials at
Janini, Albania.
"No, we don't juggle words" he said
significantly.
Thus he let the statement stand, And
then returned to a discussion OF the
Fascist internal policy, making the
blunt statement that the policy of the
Fascist government is decidedly capt.
talistic."
"The welfare of the people" he said,
"is subordinated to the accumulation
of savings and to the fruitfulness OF
their investment
"The persecution of capital in its
various forms constitutes in reality
an inti-democratic policy. The state
must not steal from it's citizens that
which they have created with the labor
of their intellect or their hands, or
that which they wish to bequeath to
their children.
"Therefore the Fascist government
has abolished the compulsory personal
ownership of titles; it has exempted
foreign capital from paying an income
tax and now it has abolished the inner
itance tax Tin the family group.
These provisions have transformed
Italy into a financial oasis which ex-
tends it's hospitality to the capital
and matrimony of foreigners.
"The Fascist regime, which is per-
haps the precursor of a general up
heaval in the politics of all states, is
proof of the effective utility Of these
provisions.
"The Italian people have faith in the
Furthermore, they know from exper-
fence that when capital, the instrument
of labor, was prosecuted here in Italy
las it still is elsewhere) we were
marching towards poverty. Our peo-
pie have learned this lesson and it
will stand to their credit in history.
There are no more strikes in Italy.
We have gained millions of days of
labor, and there are only 100000 I'M

she had been told she would be put in

Accompanied by her husband, and

KENosHA,s PURSE OPEN.

The purse of Kenosha is open to
aid in caring for the thousands
made homeless by the Japanese
earthquake and Kenosha will
promptly do her part to aid in
raising the American fund for re-
lief. The officials of the Conmun-
ity Chest were ready today to for
ward money for this relief work
Just as soon as the formal call
reaches the city. This money will
be sent either through the Amer
lean Red Cross or through some
agency named by President Cool
idge. At least thousand dollars
will be offered by Kenosha to help
bind up the wounds of the stricken
yellow race.
Many people today proffered to
give to the fund to take relief to
the Japanese and others caught in
the wake of the worlds greatest
disaster but the gifts were not So
licited as the Community Chest has
funds to meet the Kenosha share
Of the fund. 1t is not improbable
that many people will insist on
sending added contributions to the
fund. Kenosha always hears the
call of humanity and if people de-
sire to give other than is given
through the community chest the
way will undoubtedly be opened to
them. The Community Chest will,
however, take care of the donation
which should properly be made
from Kenosha and it goes to suf-
fering people in the name of all
Kenosha people.

GREEK REPLY Is

Danger of War is Thought to Hav

Paris The text of Greeces repl
to the protest of the council of am
bassadors over the assassination o.
Greek soil of the Italian boundary mis-
sion received today, will be considere
by the ambassadors at the earliest OF
portunity.
Members Of the council consider tina
the Greco-Italian dispute should b
settled by the council and not by tn
league of nations because the Italian
commissioners were representing tn
ambassadors in settling the Greco-Al
bantam frontier question when the,
were ambushed and slain.
The declarations of the Italian gov
eminent that it engages itself to evac

by Greece and that it has no inten
ton of making war are regarded in of
fetal quarters here as removing tn
likelihood of serious future compiled
tions.
