direct descendant of King Solomon and
the Queen Of Sheba.
Maybe he is, but he will encounter
q problem that King Solomon's wisdom
could not solve for him when he meets
Mussolini's airplanes
If wise, Selassie will pay the indem-
nifty that MussoIini demands. As
practical business man, Mussolini al
ways asks little soothing cash. He
got some from Greece. Also. Selassie
must salute the Italian flag. which
costs nothing. Mexico would not do
that.
One question may surprise you con-
corning Supreme court decisions set
ting aside laws passed by the congress
and, signed by the President, on the
ground that congress, in passing the
law, had exceeded its constitutional
authority. This is the question: Are
those Supreme court decisions in them
selves unconstitutional
When the Supreme court, sometimes
by a narrow margin Of five to four,
declares law unconstitutional and
void, is 1t exceeding its constitutional
authority?
Where in the Constitution Of the
United States do you find authority for
the Supreme court power to override
congress and the President In the max
ing Of laws? This absence of authority
Is no accident. Those that wrote the
Constitution, after long arguing, dis
putting and many concessions, knew,
presumably, what they wanted the Con-
stitution to say. And they did not
want 1t to give the Supreme court the
power to veto laws, that it now as
sumes and exercises.

Souls, evidently, travel more rapidly

years to get outside of the universe as
we know 1t, going 10000 miles a Sec

depression either.
Mayor LaGuardia, consulting with
President Roosevelt about loans for

From Ireland comes Jack Doyle, via
Mayfasr, London, 6 feet 4, handsome
face. nice smile, big muscles, telling
the truth about himself, whatever the
damage to his modesty: II am not
like the usual lowbrow fighter. I'll go
up and up and up to the very top"
Mr.. Doyle sings "When Irish Eyes
Are Smiling very sweetly. Mr.. Max
Baer, at present prize-tight champion,
cannot sing well, but he, too. has self
confidence: "Jack Doyle's prophecies
are all very well. He may go up and
MP and up but sooner or later on the
road up he will meet me, and then he
will 60 down and down and down."

Germany plans an army of 100000
men, small compared with the kaiser's
army. But the real fighting machine
hereafter will be located in the air
and. besides, German recruits for tn,
100000 army will serve only one year
Instead Of four, giving a rapid turn
over of trained fighters. At the end O
five years Germany would have 1000
600 men trained to fight. 1t is likely
however. that whatever is going to han
pen will happen long before Eve YEAR,
