Europe Realizes Menace Of Balkan Explosion
By RALPH H. TURNER heased Wire To The Age-Herald,)

LONDON, August 31.-Officials and diplomats are astounded by reports of the Italian advance upon Corfu. They do not attempt to conceal the fact that Europe is suddenly menaced by an explosian in the Balkan powdel barrel unless something extinguishes the burning fuse.
 This fuse is the Italian fleet, steaming to Corfu and seizing Greek soil.
 Up to the time that the news was received, officials had believed that the situation, while dangerous, would be solved without recourse to arms, and certainly without the immediate threat of war.
 Up to Friday evening the foreign office had not received the official news of the seizure In the mean time officials at Downing street are in communication with all available members of the cabinet, who are eX- pected to meet in a hurried session Saturday to decide whether Premier Baldwin and Foreign Minister Cur zon, now both in France, should be summoned to London in view of the crisis

A SENSIBLE MARATHON
DISHWASHING CONTEST

A few weeks ago it was suggested
by this newspaper that girls seeking
notoriety through marathon contests
would find an endurance dishwashing
record to be the most sensible and
useful. One Of our papers evidently
fell into the hands Of Miss Susie Het-
lock of Cavode. Pa, who immediately
proceeded to carry out our Suggestion.
She saw the possibilities Of the plan
outlined and with the result that she
now holds the dishwashing champion
ship of the world, with the record Of
thlrty-nine consecutive hours at the
dishpan. In addition she ID receiving
offers of positions and proposals Of
marriage. Susie is a good level
headed girl. She followed the good
advice of this newspaper and then
had the grit to do the work. How
many marathon dancers are there
who have won the praise Miss Het-
lock enjoys? None, we venture to
say. Men do not care for endurance
dancers as employees, neither do real
sensible men desire to select wives
from girls whose highest ambitions
are to spend couple of days and
nights on a dancing floor. Now il
some young man will only take our
advice and see just how many hours
he can spend at the sawbuck without
stopping, we will see what We can
do towards arranging love affair
between he and Miss Hetlock. We
have a right to. The dishwashing-
woodsawing idea was ours.
