been told to send only brief kilograms.
When car ran Off the track, was re-
placed and went on its way, Mr.. Finne-
gan wired: ION again, on again, gone
again, Finnegan."
George Bernard Shaw, on his way
around the-world with his wife, and on
the home stretch toward England, got

well chosen when you consider that
Americans strapped new battleships
and battleships in the building stage to
oblige Britain, and lent England and
other countries ten thousand million
dollars that we are not going to get
back.
Everybody more than eight years
old In the United States knows what
makes an automobile go. How many
know what makes their own bodies
go? DR.. Sacks, Of the University Of
Michigan, tells you that, under ordinary
conditions, our muscles do their work

in the blood stream"
In emergencies, when the body needs

acid, the other hesosephosphate. .
compound of glycogen and phosphorus.
Those two breakdowns give the body
the necessary quick pickup" Mo-

with the peoples money.
For years Senator Norris of Ne
braska, Republican. has demanded that
power from the Muscle Shoals plant
be sold at a fair price to provide "a
yardstick" for charges by other COM
panies. That Republican idea which
fought in vain against Sound Repub-
lican party conservatism" is to be car
ried out by Democratic President.
The "yardstick" will not suit all cleo
trio companies.
Italy reports an airplane speed Of
four hundred and thirty-two miles per
hour. Mussolini's government may
DO poor in cash compared to some
others but it isn't poor in common sense
and spends courageously where ma
tional safety Is concerned. How pitt
