German Austrian relations. To that
"rebuke" of the Western powers the
Wilhelmstrasse communique added that
the incident is now closed" How 1t
was closed" has just come to light in
London.
The British foreign office on Tuesday
notified the Austrian embassy that
Germany has, in fact, given to both
Great Britain and France the assurance
that there will be no further Nazi
machinat ations in Austria. Thus, what
happened at Berlin is that the Ger
mans publicly pleaded not guilty to the
charge of conspiring against their
Teutonic neighbors' independence, but
privately promised not to do it again.
The London and Paris authorities, who
prefer substance to shadow. express
themselves as entirely satisfied with
this solution OF the issue, even at the
cost of letting the Hitler foreign Office
advertise to the German people that
Weltpolitik, scored a glorious victory.
1t was remarked with evident salts
faction in Berlin that Mussolini did not
associate himself with the Anglo French
protest But it Is well known that the
Italian government had already caused
Germany to understand that the Nazis
anti Austrian maneuyers evoke lively
displeasure in Rome. There is nothing
surprising about that for anything de-
signed to bring Austria under the Ger
man yoke is of more vital Importance
and potential political peril to Italy
than to almost any other country. The
German people deiude themselves if
they think that Italy would stand with
folded arms While Hitler circumvented

National Interest in Milk
Extends Beyond Industry

Uniform demand for plilk. as an es-
sential in every family. creates uni
versal interest in the controversies that
have developed in several States. One
important phase Of the problem is the
appearance of the cash-and-carry Sys-
tenn as involving question of public
policy The Chicago code, under the
Department Of Agriculture. is watched
because of its probable relation to all
parts OF the country.
The stand of independent milk
producers and operators in the Chicago
area is discussed by the Chicago Daily
News. with special attention to Secre-
tary Wallace's decision in favor Of "a
uniform price of 10 cents a quart for
milk, irrespective of how it is sold" !"
That paper quotes owners of roadside
stands as holding that they should be
permitted to sell cash-and-carry milk
at a lower price which eliminates the
cost Of delivery by wagon" and the
Daily News contends that the matter
of sanitary conditions seems to be up
to State and county health authorl-
ties" The Chicago paper continues:
The vast powers of the farm recovery
act were conferred by Congress on the
Secretary of Agriculture to enable him
to 're-establish prices at level that
will give agricultural commodities a
purchasing power with respect to arti-
cles that farmers buy equivalent to the
purchasing power of agricultural COM
modities in the pre-war period-Au-
gust, 1909. to July, 1914 During that
period milk prices in the Chicago area
ranged from sl22 to $145 hundred
pounds. In the Spring of 1914 the
farmers demanded, unsuccessfully. a
yearly average price Of 81 532s hun
dred pounds Today. farmers in the
local marketing agreement are being
paid S175 a hundred pounds. there
being approximately 46.5 quarts of
milk per hundredweight. Thus the
farmers are receiving substantially
more than is justified by the parity
provisions of the recovery act"
An independent price averaging 6
cents a quart in the Chicago area Is
stated by the Lincoln State Journal to
have been received, and that paper
observes that lin order to avoid diff
ficulties with the Health Department
of the city of Chicago these dealers
have been content to remain outside
the city limits and set up stands to
which people may go and purchase
milk at this cut price" The State
Journal concludes that beyond any
constitutional question that may be in
volved in the case. the independent
charge that the action taken is not
authorized by the agricultural act is OF
public interest. The Goshen Daily
News Times believes that the whole

the old-fashioned stage.
Glad to meet you" said Mr. Jones,
bcwing himself out of the picture as
rapidly as possible.
He walked rapidly down the dusty
street, glorified by the slanting, golden
rays of a Summer sun. It was beau
tiful world to be in, after all, but it
had some funny quirks in it. mostly
caused by human beings like himself.
Funny critters. human beings!
Jones strobe rapidly along. Despite
his long business experience he was
much given to day dreaming, to seeing
ahead Of time what he wanted to hap
pen. That Is the way with business
men. Essentially practical, they are
great dreamers Of dreams. If these
dreams mostly concentrate around 6
per centum. maybe business men some
day will grow up and think of some
thing else. Then they will dream
something else.
Jones saw darkened theater. with
two slight figures sitting side by side.

The lights came on, Jones realized
that he had raised his head, and seen
the sun full in the face.
What a relief!
He walked on. and then before his
eyes suddenly spread the cozy living
room of the Marmaduke Pilkingtons.
Thete was Mrs. Pilkington knitting

A Century of Non-Progress.
From the New York Sun.

rIoIl the new 1OIk DUN.
At the Century of Progress Exposi-
ton in Chicago, where everything is
so modern it hurts the eyes. the gen.
eral manager, Lenox R. Lohr, has eX-
amined the amusement places and has
found that old. familiar devices of en-
tertainment are more popular than
the latest offerings to divert the minds
of visitors The snake shows. the
street carnival and the weight guessers
attract and hold patronage in 1888
just as they did at the Columbian
Exposition twoscore years ago and at
countless cattle shows years before
that
Man has ever been a contradictory
creature, stubbornly holding to some
things. eagerly relinquishing others,
apparently without rime or reason. A
snake show is not particularly thrilling;
indeed. it Is a rather morbid affair.
Weight guessers have piled their trade
so long and SO generally that every
body capable of going to the Chicago
fair grounds without a nurse should
have seen them. Street carnivals have
opportunity to offer novelties-their
makeup is elastic enough to include
anything-but the fact is that they
are pretty cut and dried. Yet at the
Century of Progress display these are
the shows to which those seeking rec
reation from educational congresses
turn. The progress of a century in
entertainment appears to have increased
the prestige of the old favorites.
Perhaps it is not mere habit that
confers this distinction; perhaps there
is a deeper reason. Just as the visitor
transported to the fair grounds by
automobile or by airplane hurries to
the jinrikishas for about as primitive
who are stuffed with modernity in the
amazing exhibition halls seek relief in
the pleasures Of an earlier day to
assure themselves that science has not
utterly changed their world. Is it too
much to ask the ordinary man to ac-
cept a century Of progress in one dose !!

waste room in any of the structures. no
extravaganza of space. For whatever
may be the outcome of the present pro-
gram of combined economy and expan-
sion in Federal administration, the
Governments executive needs are GER
tain to increase. While it has been the
ideal Of the planners to assure the
housing Of each executive unit within
four walls, annexes are altogether likely
to be needed in a few decades. The
hope is that they may be so placed as
to form an architectural entity with the
now developing project.
The immediate completion of the
great building plan, to give the Gov

should be undertaken not merely as a
work-making enterprise in the interest
of recovery, but as a businesslike in
vestment in efficiency. The structures
planned for the War and Navy Depart

for prompt erection. The proposed en-
largement of the Naval Hospital should
be also undertaken, as well as the So
called Apex Building. at the eastern

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Be convinced. your friends will find
you out. even If your sins do not.
Templeton Jones, mildest and most
innocent of men. happened to travel
down in the elevator with his secretary.
Where are you going, my pretty
maid?" he asked, just by way Of saying
something
I'm going to movie show, sir!" she
said. She named a dreadful concoction
all the rage
I'll just walk to the door with you,"
Jones surprised himself by saying.
1t would be an interesting diversion,
afternoon. Jones was so terribly old
fashioned.
There would not have been the
slightest bit of harm in it, of course, if
the Marmaduke Pilkingtons hadn't come
along precisely as T. Jones, esq, and
the beautiful Miss Mildred arrived at
the theater door.
How do you dol" exclaimed old Mar
maduke, extending an enthusiastic paw
! to Jones. Glad to see you! How's
Mary Louise?"
Mrs. Jones always had been a fa-
vorite with Marmaduke Pilkington, and
he looked around for her.
'Fine!" Jones said it with great gusto,
but he was beginning to feel horribly
guilty. He was wondering what Mrs.
Pilkington would say.
Mrs. Pilkington had been doing little
wondering all by herself.
rs Mary Louise here with you?" she
asked, pointedly.
So pointedly, indeed, that Jones felt
his large and innocent ears beginning
to burn.
Hang it, what do you say in such p
situation? II you say anything it ought
to be said in hurry. he realized He
loked around for Mildred. She had
! just finished buying tickets for her sister
and herself.
| The simple truth, Jones had often
| found. is as good way as any Of getting
out of a tight place in which one is
precipitated by the conventional doubts
| of society.
Mary Louise is not here" he said
directly. and wished she were. She
would know what to say. and how.
Mrs. Pilkington, without waiting for
more, seized old Marmaduke by the
elbow and began hustling him along.
oh" she replied. with another very
pointed look, this time at the extremely
innocent Miss Mildred.

Higher Education Urged
For Girls in South Africa.
Cape Times. Cape Town-The un-
fitness of many girls of the poorer class
to take their place in life as mothers
because of their lack of education be-
yond Standard v or Standard vi was
commented upon by Mr.. w. G. Haines
at meeting of the Cape Juvenile At
fairs Board last night
Mr.. Haines deplored the tendency of
these girls to leave school as soon as
the law allowed them. instead of i'm
proving their qualifications.
Referring to the low standard of edu-
cation Of many girls who sought en-
ployment through the board, Mr. Haines
said that. according to the May sta
tistical report, % out of 48 girls placed
had only passed Standard VI.
While it was true that many Of them
had been found work in the clothing
and textile trades. and as shop as
sistants and mattresses. it seemed wrong
that such large percentage of girls
in the peninsula had only the qualifi-
cations of children of II and l3 years
of age.

Roosevelt to Machado.

What doubtless will be interpreted in
Havana as the opening move in Amer
ican Intervention has at length been
made by President Roosevelt 1t is very
distinctly peaceful, and not an armed,
lnterventionist gesture. Indeed. the in
depreciation properly to be placed upon
it is that it but manifests anew the
United States Governments profound
preference to let the Cubans settle their
own troubles without outside interfer-
ence.
Mr. Roosevelt's action ensued at Hyde
Park late yesterday at the end of a
conference with him sought by the
Cuban Ambassador at Washington,
Senor de Cintas. The President, in
formal statement following the Ambas-
sadors departure, called on Cuba to
drop political strife and concentrate its
energies on the more Immediately i'm
portant problems of starvation and of
depression" The Hyde Park statement
added that every political problem
should be met in the most patriotic
spirit in order to improve conditions at
the earliest possible moment"
This is, of course, studiously guarded
language, as BELTS a highly delicate
occasion. But 1t is not so guarded that
it conceals President Roosevelt's real
thought. Between its carefully chosen
lines it is clear that the patriotic
spirit" he desires to see manifested IN
Cuba is spirit of willingness on Ma
chados part to quit office, inaSmuch as
his retention of the presidency is the
notorious barrier to peace and tran
uuillity. Maintenance of Machados
power means certain prolongation OF
revolutionary conditions. His declara-
ton of martial law last night, at about
the very hour President Roosevelt was
indirectly calling for Machado's retire
ment in the name of patriotism, is
proof enough that the discredited Ha-
vana regime recognizes it can only hold
on with the aid of shot and shell.
Mondays massacre before the presiden-
tial palace was additional evidence OF
that. if more were needed. The mar
tial law decree declares a state of war
throughout Cuba and orders the army
to take control of the turbulent political
situation. The proclamation was ap-
parently Machados defiant reply to the
Welles mediation formula submitted on
Tuesday in the name Of all Cuban po-
litical parties. Instead Of accepting the
formulas proposal that he retire,
Machado broadcasts an appeal to the
people to take up arms in defense OF
the nation in case Of intervention by
foreign power. What Machado really
means is that he wants Cubans to
fight to keep him in Office.
In all this there are few harbingers
Of peace, yet it remains to be seen
whether Machado will now go the
length of ignoring the deep inwardness
of President Roosevelts plea. The
American people, ready, as they un-
questionably are, to fulfill their full
obligations toward Cuba, will continue
to hope to the last that Machado will
see the light before it is too late.
