EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

The week has seen the announce
ment of new alliance in Europe,
the gist of which appears to be that
France and England will allow
Germany to rearm on condition
that it joins the League, while
France and England join them
selves in an air alliance to resist
aggression. Peace" efforts of that
kind assure peace for a spell, but
because they are founded on mill
tary strength, do not promote bet
ter understanding. and eventually
explode in general war. 1t is just
as well that the United States is
not mixed up with these efforts to
make Europe behave itself.-Morris
Tribune.
There is nothing that we need
more right now during these pc
culiar times than we need the
church. Economic recovery is close
ly allied with moral rights of 9TH
ers. When integrity is respected,
when all men strive to live lives
and get away from lure of the al
mighty dollar, we will be on the
road 20 moral recovery. Our troub-

try our best to help each other. The
church sets rules for a moral life
and in that way also points the
way to a more satisfied life. The
church builds character and this is
the foundation or prosperity. There
can be no economic prosperity

203rd Anniversary of Washington's Birth

of the Nations greatest men, George WASHINGTON

ful OF his inestmabe services to the great Republic
of which he is truly called the father it seems al

assailed as was Washington both during the Revol-

The famous and Infamous Conway cabel" COM

Washington removed from the position as command
er-n-chef in favor of General Gates. This plan fail

difficult task much harder at a critical time of the
war.
Even when he had finished his public career af-
ter serving eight years President in fact upon the
day of leaving office, editorial appeared in
Philadelphia newspaper containing the following
This ought to be day of jubilee in the United
States. If ever nation debauched by a man. the
American nation has been debauched by Washing

ages; let the history of the Federal government in

George Washington have come down to as i'm

Taxes Cost More Than Food

The national tax bill has become one of the
greatest items in the high cost of living according to
recent report from the Industrial News Review In
fact If you were asked, which is the largest item in
your familys budget the answer food, clothing rent
or similar expenses, would be wrong. In comparison
the national tax bill is $9O0OOOOOOO a billion and
a half greater than the national food bill
Food the most vital of all necessities costs the
nation SGoOOOOOOOO a year. Clothing takes $780,
100000. Rent also takes S3,600OO0OO0 and auromo-
piles dent the national pocket book to the extent of
S29OoOOOOOO Electric service costs the citizens of
the nation only S65OO0000O And taxes are paid on
practically all of these items
In view of this there are those who still wish IN

cutting the cost of government Taxation now rep

they all knew about it through the

like him there could have been no

MODEL PRISON

So effective has been the Gov
ernment's escape-proof prison at
Alcatraz that the Department OF
Justice is planning and in some
instances carrying out a program
of renovation at other peniten'
tiaries.
The prison fortress on the West
Coast will serve as a model for
the institutions as far as possible.
The Federal penitentiaries at
Atlanta, Leavenworth and the
women's prison at Anderson, w.
Va, are scheduled for renovation
If Sanford Bates, director OF
prisons, has his way, according to
reports.
AS far as possible, it is expected
to remove drug addicts from the
Federal penitentiaries to the new
Federal farm in Kentucky, now
in opers ton, and to a second one
plannet. by the Government.
Although there are few trans
ferS which may be effected, this
move is expected to give more
room in the prisons.
The strength of Alcatraz has
come up to expectancy thus far
and, according to reports, Justice
officials hope to make the other
institutions as nearly invulnerable
as possible.

rpreSence OF considerable group,
including scientists and journal
lists, a shallow trench, some 10
feet long, was dug in the yard
of a private house. The trench
was filled first with kindling wood
and then with small oak logs.
The kindling was ignited and
thick layer of charcoal was placed
upon the logs. After burning for
several hours, the fire resolved
itself to a bed of red-hot glowing
embers.
Kuda Bux, clad in his ordinary
clothes, took off his shoes and
socks and submitted his feet to
the examination of medical men.
They testify that the feet were
soft, uncalloused, and had not,
so far as they could tell, been
submitted to any protective treat
ment. The doctors even washed
his feet and found them a little
below the ordinary temperature
of the ordinary body.
The Washington times., 1935-11-25

The young man of the press,
who reported the story for the
London papers, told us that Kuda
Bux was not apparently conscious
of putting on any sort Of "show."
He approached his demonstration
as nonchalantly as if he were 60
ing for a stroll, bare-footed, upon
the cool, green grass of an
ordinary lawn, pretty much as
people used to do when there was
a fad of barefoot strolling in the
dew of early morning.
First of all, the young man dis
sipated the gray ashes which had
formed in thin layer on top Of
the glowing Goals. AS he bent
over his task, he was obviously un-
affected by the terrific heat which
kept spectators at a distance of
several feet. He placed one naked
foot upon the flowing bed, found
the going to his liking, and calmly
strolled back and forth over the
