During the past few weeks, 8
major events have seriously acct
ed the jittery European and Asiatic
situations. Two of the events definite
ly aid the maintenance of world peace
One definitely points toward war.
The last came from Italy, when II
Duce amounted that every italian
citizen will be given army training
from the ages Of 8 to SO! Children
of 8 will be enlisted in juvenile bat
talions, will be subject 10 the in
|fluenced of martial spirit. AS they
grow older, they will be given inten-
sive training in the arts Of war.
That announcement caused many Eu-
ropean Observation-Disclosures, for all
his speeches concerning peace, is dan
.gerous. Italy is now overpopulated,
cannot produce enough to adequately
support her people. Yet Mussolini
offers prizes for large families, heavi-
ly taxes bachelors, is a relentless enc
my of birth control. He wants more
Italians when their country can't take
care Of them. The answer can only
be conquest.
Happier eveets are found in the So
ton of the Chinese Easten ailway
problem, and the admittance Of Rus
STA into the League Of Nations. The
Shinese Railroad, jointly owned by ia
pan and Russia, has been a constant
source of trouble. Japan threatened to
seize the line-and ussia concentrat-
ed army divisions, tanks, artillery
and planes at Vladivostok, ntimated
that if Nippon tried to carry out her
threat she would have a war on her
hands. Today, when the bear s~narls,
It means something-Russia has one
Of the largest and best equipped of
all armies.
A fortnight ago, Japan and Russia,
after long discussions, anne close to
an agreement whereby Japan viii
buy the line. A comparatively small
amount of money separated the bar
gamers, and it looks as if the "most
dangerous railroad in the world" will
shortly become only a harmless
branch of the world S transport sys-
tem.
AS for the admission of ussia to
the League, it will immensely increase
that bedy's power in preventing and
settling international arguments and
in enforcing peace. Whether you like
communism or not, Russia is the lar

THIS GLORIOUS MTERlUOE

Reween the traoic days of the
Drouth and the Winter which will

lous season Of Indian Summer. There
NAV be no "fodder in the hook" and
r. NAV he impossible for US "to hear
the husky. RUSTY rustic Of the tas-

more reason whv we should accept
the invitation of old Uther Nature
to wander far afieeld. to seek diver

their gorgeous colors with thhe bronze

At heart we are all children. It
is the simple things of fife that give
US lasting pleasure. Unlike our IN
cestor we NAV not be able to ride to
the hunt as did they in the glorious
October weather but there III so
many things we can do that will
make life richer and more enjoyable
for Us sn.
The tempo Of modern diversion has
been speeded up to such a degree
that it leaves us exhausted mentally
and physically. The nerve wrackrng.
frantic pursuit of pleasure Is fast
becoming i~ntolerab1e. We need rest
and a and contentment and at this
particular season Of the year Il is
waiting for US on the hillside, along
the open road and in the leafy soll-

Mother Nature is extending to us
her last invitation to Join her. The
swirling leaves that autter to the
ground warn us that we had best &C
cent before her whimsical fancy
changes. With an alluring voice she
is calling to you and to me and par
ticularly to the children. She wants
US all to join her in a happy, care free
frolic.
There are trees to climb, nuts to
hunt. there's the lovely bitter sweet
to gather, here are camp fires to be
built around which all may gather and
sing the songs that warm the heart
and make us young again.
Come to the woods where the air
is rich and clear, where the green
leaves have turned to gold, where
your very nature thrills to something
indefnable and where your longing
for the sweet, simple pleasures or life
is satisfied. Come before Winter in

Ask the president of your local ce.

will say it is bad. Ask the owner OF

that trade IS good, and is constantly

Washington correspondent, recently
put it, Industry is doing nothing
worth talking about, but business
generally is better than you think"
In August, the durable goods indus.
tries were operating at about 81 per
cent Of normal. Normal means the
average Of the years 192325.) Non
durable goods producers touched 90
per cent, and the trend was upward.

ment, steel, metals, lumber and other
products which don't wear out rapid

makers of food, clothes, tobacco and
all the things which have a short life
are experiencing relative prosperity.
Department store sales are well
above what seasonal experience would
lead US to expect; these stores, of
course, deal primarily in nondurable
goods.
1t isn't hard to trace the reason
back of this. Il can be expressed in
two words: Government spending.
Government is dealing out billions
for relief through its various agen-
cies, and the bulk Of this money goes
at once into such necessaries as food,
clothing, fuel. Almost none of it is
used for purposes which would stimu-
late the production of heavy indus
tries. People who, after long unem.
ployment, get three or four dollars
"a day, buy food and clothing-but
they don't buy new homes, automo-
biles or motor boats.
The problem the government faces
now is to bring the heavy industries
up to the level reached by the ION
durable goods industries. 1t is start
ng to attack that probIem-and as
is first ste pin giving industry itself
more control over its own affairs than
it has enjoyed for almost two ears

Extra-Legal Lynching
Rising TO the OCCASION the Su-
preme Court ordered that Crawford
