Arthur brisbane and multiplied by
ten-says truly there is any amount Of
money in America, but 1t "revolves"
too slowly. 1t will soon speed up and
"revolve," or change hands thirty-five
times year.
If Lloyds would insure the accuracy
Of the majors prediction, good many
would buy policies.
The particularly offensive plan to
buy in Germany steel to build the
Triborough bridge in New York will
probably not go through. 1t is ex-
planned by those concerned that they
can buy 100000 pounds Of German
steel piling for less than half the
American price; as further reason"
1t is said American firms submitted
identical bids"
The governments blue eagle was
invented to prevent price cutting; but
that is not the question, nor is the diff
ference in price or the fact that work
Is taken from American workers to
give it to German workers the most
important fact. Buying steel in Ger
many, helping to finance the German
steel industry and Mr.. Hitler's pro-
gram. with American dollars, would
seem to indorse Hitler's program of
persecution. That is the important
fact.
Officers of the American air corps,
Capts. A. w. Stevens and Orvil Ander-
son, rose above the earth into the
stratosphere to a height greater than
any human being had ever reached.
with the possible exception, Of course,
Of Elijah going up in his chariot Of fire.
The American officers radioed: 1--WE
are at 74,1S7 feet, trying for $4,000
feet" They did not go higher, but
broke all records.
Seventy-four thousand one hundred
and eighty-seven feet is more than IA
miles, 1000 feet higher than the unofi-
cIal Russian record of 72,200 feet.
A movie news reel photographer in
Ethiopia, Edward Genock, was assault
ed when he tried to make moving pic
lures of warriors at Harar. The Eth
opians beat the camera man, explain
ing afterward, "We shall lose our souls
If we are photographed" That will
surprise Hollywood, where the belief
is the other way around. Once, it was
generally believed, even by real Chris
tians, that If you made wax minia-
ture figure Of man and stuck pins
in 1t at intervals you would kill the
original. Man is a superstitious biped.
Not long ago, when foreign c0un-
tries were starving, America sent over
American corn, and the foreign coun-
tries would not eat 1t. Even Russia
refused.
Now, thanks to various devices for
persuading our farmers to produce as
little as possible, the United States
imports more than 20,000.000 bushels
Of corn in one year.
Shortage Of corn means shortage of
food for hogs, and that meant expen-
sive "hog meat" pork chops and bacon.
Somebody always has to pay the bill,
and now it appears to be those that
eat, decided majority.
At Maryland's Plmlico race track a
horse named Axican, winning the
$1,000 relay steeplechase, paid $340.40
for 50 betting ticket, 10 times the
amount paid. That news will cause
many unfortunate geese to lose sew
eral times $340. Nobody ever won at
race track gambling in the long run.
If that were possible, who would sup
port hookmakers and tracks?

try there is danger of war, urging
adequate defense on land, on sea, and

He knows, as does everybody, that
defense, first In the air, and second
under the water, Is most important.
President Roosevelt announced the
early "cOnsummatlon of "a commercial
agreement between Canada and the
United States" referring to "our two
peoples, each independent In them
selves, closely knit by ties Of blood
and common heritage, with standards
Of life substantially the same"
While eleven lawyers and clients dis.

business In New York's Brownsville,
four young gunner entered, said,
pleasantly, "Reach for the moon, gen.
tlemen." meaning "Stick 'em up" The
hands went up; the gunner walked
out with $2,261 in cash.
That was not playing the game. It
Is customary for lawyers to get money
from gunner, although. doubtless,
these were not that type OF lawyer.
