A Billion for Defense.

Spain evidently has little faith in
the prospects for peace in Europe or
in the virtues OF disarmament The
Madrid government signalizes It's
anxieties as to what the future holds
by planning to spend one billion
pesetas Croundly, $500 900 in cur
rent exchange value) on Notifications
for the Balearic Islands, the pictur-
esque group lying of the Spanish
coast in the so-called strategic area
Of the Mediterranean. America is
interested in the vast project by rea-
son OF the fact that the government
has asked in the United States for
specifications on armaments. includ-
ing big guns, anti-aircraft artillery
and coast defense equipment.
The program Spain has in mind is
designed to make the three major
islands, Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza,
as impervious to attackers as steel,
stone, concrete and modern weapons
can render them. The project, con-
templating a construction period ex-
tending over ten years, calls, as aux
ilisry equipment, for a feet of swift,
armored speedboats carrying quick
fire and machine guns to attack land
ing parties. Data are also being
sought on submarine nets, mines and
torpedoeS.
Since the British made Gibral-
tar the symbol of impregnability. and
the French more recently forged
their great chain of Notifications
from the Alps to the Channel, no
more ambitious scheme has been
Matched than the plans for the
Balearic Islands. Naturally, the ques-
ton arises, for what purpose?
In competent Madrid quarters the
enterprise is described as peaceful
and protective. The islands squat
in that region of the Western Med
iterranean across which France and
Italy glare at each other, the waters
which would be the war zone at sea
if ever their respective fleets strip for
battle. Possession of the Balearics
would be of priceless advantage to
either belligerent as a base for naval
operations, with Northern Africa,

ton. not many miles away.
Spain is reported to be determined
that the neutrality OF the Balearic
Islands shall be preserved. She does
not want to run the risk of seeing
them converted into a Mediterranean

impotent without the cooperation of
parents. We have the fatuous notion
that We can regulate ourselves by
well conceived laws We have the
conceit that threatening penalties
deter men-and women too-from
committing offenses against society

courts disproves this. Even those
who are not affiliated with religious

our population increased l7l2 per

Our Attorney General informs us that
not less than 100000 make their living

of criminals he receives, an inconSe-

The problem involved in this situa-
tion is a grave one, and II lays a
very heavy responsibility upon the
high-minded citizens of our country.
Nothing is more clearly obvious than
that those of us who have the respon-
sibility of shaping the lives of the
younger generation must consistently
give ourselves to the consideration of
that kind of moral and religious train
ing that is indispensable to our Sc
curity and our peace. No home is
immune to the blighting influence
that is expressed in terms of moral
degeneration and a situation such as
that that confronts us today calls
for revival of that type of moral and
religious training that renders the
youth strong to resist tendencies and
temptations that are body and soul
destroying.

unusually severe heat wave there is
causing the Etffel Tower. 984 feet in
height, TO stretch eleven inches

This Is rather a tall story. Possibly
the figures are a bit mixed, Perhaps
the dispatch should have stated the
expansion of the great steel structure
in terms Of centimeters rather than
inches. But even this would require a
maximum temperature of over 100
degrees Fahrenheit. However, it is
indubitable that the tower does stretch

Toes Tread Upon.

| President Roosevelt. in his most re-
cent radio report to the people, para
! phrased a common expression, known
| 70 millions, when he said;
! In the working out of a great ma
| tional program which seeks the pri-
mary good Of the greater number. it
| is true that the toes OF some people
are being stepped on and are going to
be stepped on.
All who heard the remark under
/ stood its meaning 1t was a colorful
and picturesque device for dramatizing
/ the fact of minority discontinue un-
der the new deal It was an action
metaphor and the audience could
vision in the minds eye the idea.
/ the incident which the President
wished to describe. Little Imagination
was needed to make the transfer Of
thought effective. Having ones toes
stepped on is a painful business, as
every one knows. and Mr.. Roosevelt
meant exactly that-the minority, he
was conceding would be obliged to
suffer in the interests of the majority.
But whence came the language he
used? Obviously, it was not his own
invention. Instead, it is a familiar
bromide OF ordinary speech among all
classes of English-speaking people 1t
has been in the stock of conversation
for generations. Sometimes it is used
in the form tread upon" and some
times, as the President employed it,
step upon" or step on In the
Scriptures, as translated in the King
James version, is: Thou shalt tread
upon their high places signifying a
kindred conception enfranchised by
poetic license.
And a good modern literary engage
ment of the image is that of Robert
Browning in the Ring and the Book:
Presently found he could not
turn about
Nor take a step in the case and fail
to tread
On some ones toes.
Shakespeare, reversing the conceit
it will be recalled, wrote into Hamlet
the line
One woe doth tread upon another's
| heel.
The phrase, however, certainly must
be older than the Bard of Avon. Its
origin probably dates back to time
when language was a spoken rather
than a written art. 1t is lively in
character, primitive in form. And
perhaps it was because of its vitality
that Mr. Roosevelt used it.

Sales response has been immedi-

a new line of radios been followed
by such an avalanche of orders.
The answer of course, is in the
fact the new Grunow radio line
really revolutionizes all-wave recep-
ton
Whereas for the last several years
the introduction of new models by
all of the radio manufacturers has
been largely matter of formality,
depending for its interest upon a
slightly improved tonal quality or a
change in cabinet design, the new

Although the signal beacon is by
no means the only new feature to
be found in the new Grunow line,
this one new feature alone out
shines all the other great advance
ments incorporated in this new line.
1t is confidently predicted by mar
keting experts that this one new
| feature will do much toward revo-
lutionizing and reviving the radio
