The ship subsidy bill this week

1t Is encountering many signs of

Western agricultural members seek
to involve the subsidy problem with
the whole proposition of low land
and water rates to world markets and
to insist that unless subsidies mean
low export rates and aid in conquest
of foreign markets the interior should
refuse them.
The controversy has assumed such
proportions that it seems certain sub

George v was stamp collector long
before he was a king, and among
philatelists, his ia me, it may be pre-
sumed, will linger forever, regard
less of the eventual fate of the en-
pire he has ruled.
Charles j. Phillips has summarized
his Importance in the philatelic world
as follows: During the 80 years of
his career as a stamp collector, he
has done more than any one else
to popularize our hobby and to raise
1t from a boys pastime to the exact
science it has become" And his
majesty himself has said: Stamp
collecting is one of the greatest pleas
ures of my life"
To illustrate the consistency of
his interest, Mr. Phillips reports:
when England entered the war, in
August, 1914, the King sent mes
senger to request me not to send
any stamps to the palace during the
war, as his time would be fully oc-
cupied. About six months went by,
and then one day I received a mes
sage from Capt. Godfrey FauSsett
that the King wished to have some
stamps sent to the palace by mid
day each Tuesday. On inquiring the
reason for this welcome change,
was informed that his majesty had
decided to have part of one after
noon a week for his hobby as a well
come and needed rest from the wor-
ries of those times" He could hear
the guns in France and knew we'll
enough what they signified, but
philately was a medicine for the hor-
ror of the strife. The King was a
man, as well as a monarch, and he
found peace in stamps just as thou
sands of his contemporaries, great
and humble, rich and poor, have
found it.
George v was not even Prince of
Wales when he first began to col
lect. Indeed, he was merely mid
shipman on the Bacchante. But the
enthusiasm of the child dictated the
policy of the adult, and 'once a COL
lector, always collector" proved the
principle of his life-he studied
stamps as captain of the Thrush, as
heir to the crown and even when at
last he assembled the throne, May s
1910. With such background, it
was natural that he should remain
loyal to philately in spite of the at
traction of other and larger affairs.
Originally a general collector, the
King latterly has specialized in the
postal issues of Great Britain, the
British dominionS and colonies, and
Egypt. He has approximately 800
albums of carefully classified material.
Uncut and reconstructed sheets of
stamps. blocks of four and singles.
used and unused, are included. Many
of the most notable rarities have
been purchased by his majesty from
the collections of the late Earl of
Crawford, the late Leslie HauSburg
and the late Henry Duveen. He
owns fine copies of the Id and I'd
post Office stamps Of Mauritius; also
the Cape Of Good Hope woodblocks,

seeks to conquer Russian territory and
subject Slav populations to German
rule, the same principle arises and
the identical wrong is repeated.
No one, I think, has been more criti-
cal of all that the Hitler regime rep
resents than myself. I do not believe
peace in Europe can be permanently
assured while the National Socialist
dictatorship endures in the Reich. But
both in the question of armaments
and in the matter of Austro- German
union believe that the Germans were
In the right, and that the effort to
arouse passionate condemnation of
them because they refused to be
bound by the restraints Of treaty law
imposed by bayonets and perpetuated
by force essentially unfair. Just as
long, too, as Hitler is able to take his
stand in defense of what not only all
Germans but all fair minded foreign
observers must recognize to be rights,
his domestic situation is secure.
Reverting to the Rome conference
and the Danubian problem there to
be discussed, / frankly question II any
real agreement can be made unless, in
the meantime, some new German ac-
ton precipitates fresh panic in Lon
don, as well as in Paris and Rome.
The coalition which has been sketched
in recent months has its origin not
in any noble concern for world peace
assured by collective action at Geneva,
but a common fright which has pro-
duced an identical fear for their own
skins among those who have drawn
together.
The Lesson of Bismarck.
Even now Germans are far from
convinced that this common front
against them can last for long. And
any one at all familiar with the COM
plicationS of the Danubian basin must
see the strength Of the German
hypothesis. But, in the face of the
economic pressure at home, can Hitler
keep quiet abroad? Can he renounce
gestures which consolidate his home
public but just as patiently unite Eu-
rope against his own country? All
the story of the next few months turns
upon this detail. So far every single
thing the Reichsfuehrer has done
within the Reich has weakened the
German situation in the outside
world. Now, If he cannot reverse his
methods he is lost.
The greatness of Bismarck lay in the
fact that while he made Germany
powerful he kept her prospective op-
ponents divided. William II, on the
other hand, drove them into a COM
bination which ultimately destroyed
the German Empire and drove him
into exile. So far, Hitler has followed

Boys Heart Turns to Stone.

Medical men in all parts Of Europe
are interested in the strangest medi-
cal case in London, that of a boy
whose heart is slowly turning TO stone.
The child was taken from Birming-
ham to a famous hospital, but details
are being kept secret The feature of
the illness is that the membrance which
incloses the heart, the pericardium,
has become densely thickened and
stony plaques have begun TO develop.
1t is beyond the scope of medicinal
treatment to remedy this progressive
condition and already there are signs
that this imprisonment of the heart
Is threatening the efficiency of the
circulation. An operation is to be per-
formed on the heart to free 1t from

denly when he saw an Immediately
dressed youth swing down from behind
the tender and run toward the station.
The boy spied him in the shadows and
painted:
Where can get some coffee and a
roll quick? My train only stops here
for 10 minutes to change engines"
The gambler, too amazed at the au-
dacity of this youth holding down the
fast limited in such hostile territory,
jerked his thumb at an all-night COM
bination pool room, cafe and barber
shop across the street. The boy ran
to the cafe, hastily ordered the muddy
looking liquid which passed as coffee
and gulped it greedily. Then with two
rolls in his hands the lad dashed back
to the station and ran up the tracks
to where the new locomotive sent a
"highball" rolling out across the sandy
wastes. The boy swung up behind the
tender as the train moved.
But the fireman had seen him and
called back hoarsely to git outa thai" ="
Crestfallen the boy jumped down.
Don't take it so hard, kid" said
the gambler softly. There's a mani
fest freight coming through at day
light. You can make that. Come on
back to the pool room and keep warm.
The house will buy coffee for the
buns in another hour and throw in
stale rolls"
Neither the gambler nor the boy
spoke as they walked across the alkah
Of the road to the pool room.
In the rear a group of men were
clustered around pool table hurting
dice. The gambler and the boy took
seats. The boys lips were trembling.
Impulsively he turned to the gambler
and blurted out:
"And I thought was going to be in
Los Angeles tomorrow. I've only got
So to last me-" The gambler grunted.
His keen eyes were probing into the
youths face.
"You know" went on the boy, "I
got sick of high school. They think
I'm a swell because my dad is head of
the Paragon Placer Corp. I want to
stand on my own feet and see the
world. I'm not softy."
The click Of dice came as slight
interruption and the gambler looked at
the gaming table. His fingers itched.
Again he glanced at the boy and sar-
donic smile appeared on his face when
he heard the youth say:
"Ill gamble with my future. I can
make good"
The gambler stared at a snoring
man a few seats away. He sighed
deeply and turned to the kid. He
said: "I've got just one buck. I'm
eoing to take a little flyer back there
and see if we both can't eat for the
next few days. Want to watch?"

THE SALOON-NEW MODEL

Leaders of the Michigan Grange in their annual
assembly have gone on record to the effect that
they believe the state is being let in for another
saloon era. They point out that while the name
saloon is no longer used the real thing is with
US again; ard in the opinion of some of the
Grange leaders it has come back in a worse form
than before
The old saloon was at least morally outlawcd

have pointed out, liquor is being sold in many
places of business that cannot possibly be avoided
by the general public, and in many cases it is be-

that turning girls into bar-tenders is step that
the old saloon would not have dared to take
