- money. That money
as soon as received
would all vanish, In

longer any gold payments promised or
implied. If government money is not
good, government bonds are not good.
President Roosevelt, congratulating
King George, says: at is gratifying
to contemplate the wise and steadfast
influence which your majesty has ex-
erted for a quarter of a century,"
That was about all that the President,
with the best of intentions, could say,
for the British rulers popularity Is
based on sticking to his job, which is,
letting his people alone, while they at
tend to their business 10 their own
way.
The king seems to think that those
who have built the greatness of the
British empire to its present height
may be trusted to continue building it.
Some "best minds" here feel that
any success or progress in the United

Flying in fog, fuel gave out. The
last radio message was: "Fuers get
ting low. We can't find break in the
fog. 1t looks like forced landing"
Both pilots were killed; they did

An occasional disaster will not dis
courage flying, but this particular ac-

not airplane builders concentrate on
parachute protection for passengers?
King Solomon never solved any such

In,
ers worn by modern women. NRA
| rules say that If the article advertised
| is not invisible, the advertising Is
"false and misleading and violates the

Eight million young women In Ger
many are unmarried. The government
