We decide to postpone the build
Ing of airplanes, submarines, air
plane carriers and cruisers with air
plane platforms for fear of argu-
ments resulting in a special session.
The French, logical, determined,
allowing nothing to interfere with
national defense, proceeded to build
a series of armored cruisers of
$1,000 tons each to offset the mar
velously efficient German cruisers,
called miniature battleships."
And France will continue build
Ing submarines. She knows that air
planes and submarines represent,
In the highest degree, the power to
punish other nations, and that the
nation with power to punish is the
one that will not be provoked or at
tackled.
If anybody attacked this nation
through the air, it could only burst
into tears. 1t Isn't prepared to re-
sent or punish anything.
In Britain car called the
"Rorail,n with two sets of wheels,
has been successfully tried on Brit
ish railroad tracks and highways.
On the tracks 1t rolls on regular
steel wheels. Arrived at the end
of its rail journey, rubber-tired
wheels are lowered below the level
of the steel wheels, which are in
side of the wheels with pneumatic
rubber tires.
And the coach motor bus or truck
is ready to leave the rails and fin
ish its journey on the highway.
If our railroads used such We
hicles, motor trucks and buses
could not successfully compete with
railroads between large cities as
they do now.
And the value of the railroads
rights of way would be at least
double.

Chicago, two young men, twenty
and twenty-five years old, following
the murderer at a distance, stripped
the corpse of its clothing as their
share.
Detective Harold Fogarty got

1t is pleasant to hear of anyone's
happiness, and you will be delight
ed to know that Ireland is highly
prosperous, riding the wave of
world depression" In 1880 the
Irish exported more than S225,00O,l

landlords. Irish banks are steady,

If you ever become well acquaint-

An opera like "Cavalleria" or
"Pagliacci" represents no exagger-
