e. go ~ If Russia and ia
pan should have a
arthur brisbane serious disagree
ment, Russia's equipment in the way
Of submarines and airplanes, all with
in 400 miles of Tokyo, would probably
enable other countries to stop worry
ing about Japan's military plans.
England does not approve of Mus
solini's plans in Abyssinia, and the
question arises, Would England close
the Suez canal, the short cut for Ital-
ian troops and supplies to Abyssinia?
win italian airplanes be forbidden to
fly over the Suez canal area?
The answer as to closing the Suez
canal by Britain would probably be
no. England would not voluntarily
provoke hostilities with Italy. She
really wants peace. But, how easily
war could come-French against Ger
man or English against Italian or JAP
anese against Russiani
Germany undertakes to establish a
'family tree" for each Of its 66,00O,-
600 inhabitants, which means asking,
answering, writing down ten thousand
million questions.
The sensible answer would be, II
descend from Adam, with heaven
knows how many mixtures in my blood
on the way up" but Hitler would not
accept that. Young couples getting
marriage licenses are questioned:
"What were your eight great-grand-
parents like? Did they have any Ne
groid or Jewish blood?
"Were they fond of telling the
truth? Did they have Imagination,
driving power?"
Ten thousand million foolish ques-
The greatest country in the world,
supposed to be the most intelligent,
owns some tons Of gold, called
worth" nine thousand million dollars.
We do not use the gold, or even in
vest part of 1t in adequate national
defense, that would protect 1t. We
are afraid some one may come, with
better airplanes and submarines than
ours, and steal it; so the government
will dig a deep hole, far from the
coast, put in it huge safe, and hide
away the gold lump, that is used only
to impress the financial imagination
of the world and keep foreigners from
knocking down our currency.
Dolores Anne Diamond, only four,
surprised teachers in a Schenectady
kindergarten. She said the games for
little children bored her, and she could
recite the alphabet backward.
Dolores was moved to the first
grade, and could have gone higher.
She has the intelligence of a child Of
fourteen.
Usually 1t Is better for child to de-
velop slowly and normally. The in
FAINT prodigy is usually dull later. Per-
haps little Dolores will be an excep-
tion, like Mozart, and, at eighteen, as
wise as Hypatia, with happier end
ing.
Lloyd George, in spite of his seven
ty-two years, returns to active politics.
He hates the "arid atmosphere Of po-
litical controversy" and returns to &C.
tive politics only because he believes
that world conditions are growing
worse, and "from the point of view
of peace are worse than before 1914"
Miss Koutanova, Russian, twenty
one years old, jumped 25,426 feet from
an airplane without oxygen apparatus
and landed in a cabbage field after
turning over four times before her
parachute opened. She claims the fe-
male record.
Russia Is teaching millions Of young
people to use parachutes, the first step
In curing nervousness in flying. Here
we have only small handful of excel
lent pilots, but the masses of our popu-
lation know as little about aviation as
they do about geometry in space"
Mr.. Werner Kahn, district leader Of
"Hitler YOUTH" says Nazi doctrines
have become Germany's real religion.
and "the time must come when entry
into the Hitler Youth organization will
take the place now occupied by Cath
ole or Protestant confirmation" Fur
thermore, the young gentleman says,
IT declare to all enemies of Hitler
Youth that the fuehrer is our faith
and national socialism is our religion"
Millions Of us go through life getting
little sunshine, rarely II ever looking
at the stars, our interests not unlike
that of the entomologically interest
ing tumblebug, that spends Its life In
the field. rolling little balls of manure
into burrow. He doesn't even realize
that there is a sun, or stars, and many
men are like him, although they may
own fine country places"
