relatives interfering, especially
mothers-in-law; intidelity; incompat-
ability; alcoholism, and a desire to
dominate" There is a seventh rea-
son, to be found in the nature of
man, who is still 9S per cent in the
age of barbarism.
Marilyn Miller is dead, only thir-
ty-eight years old. The little town
Of Findlay, Ohio, or the bigger town
Of New York, might well erect some
monument to her memory. She con-
tributed a great deal to human
cheerfulness and happiness, and it
may be said of her, as Samuel John
son said, referring to the death OF
the great actor, Garrick, that her
death "eclipsed the gayety of ma
tions and impoverished the public's
stock of harmless pleasure"
A lady who signs "B. A. c." is
interested in very serious things.
She writes: THE more l hear of
those big armies, the more l am re-
minded of the huge population of
hell. What is your idea of hell?"
That big question may be an
swered later. An aged colored man
once told his pastor: II don't believe
in hell, because I don't think any
constitution could stand it."
1T worries me-" says a lady, that
so many men are afraid of poverty
here upon earth; and. not afraid of
hell" Miss B. A. G. is certain that
hell is real, a belief that must be
comforting to those anxious to have
the wicked punished.
Winthrop w. Aldrich, head of the
Chase National bank, biggest in
America, knows about money, as did
his father before him, the late
senator from Rhode Island, who
invented the Federal Reserve plan
and put it through. Mr.. Aldrich
thinks it would not be a good idea
to turn money loose and encourage
a speculative, stock-gambling boom.
He remembers 1929.
Under certain circumstances 1.-The
prospect of imitation is very grave
indeed" says Mr.. Aldrich.
When a woman starts, she keeps
going, nearly always. Nothing could
stop Joan of Arc, DR.. Mary Walker,
or Nellie Bly, on her trip around the
world. Now Amy Johnson, married
name MOllison, sets out alone in a
streamlined monoplane to beat the
record on a flight to Cape Town
and back.
All alone, down to the other side
of the world and back again, over
ocean, forests, wild beasts and wild
er men. And fools used to say
women lacked courage!
An offensive and defensive treaty
between Japan and Germany, like
the one between France and Russia,
is considered a certainty.
1t should be possible for nations
that want to survive and prosper to
get together and let others that
must fight kill each other off until
thew tire of it. This country, at
least, should carry out that plan.
Japan and Russia have passed
from the warning" stage to border
fighting on the Russian side. Planes,
war tanks and heavy artillery are
taken across the Manchukuo border
by Russia, and that looks like busi-
ness"
Russia will soon know how much
Mongolia will be worth as a pro-
lection against Japan, and Europe
may soon know the value of Russia
as a protection against Asia.
The Canadian Press news service
says Canada's wealth has shrunk al
most six thousand million dollars
since 1929. That will be only tenn
porary shrinkage.
You know that England is worried
about something when you read
that she now demands that the
league establish an oil embargo
against Italy. A little late, but it is
explained that England is outraged
by Italy's use of poison gas against
the Ethiopians.
Mussolini used something worse
than poison gas against England
when he occupied the Lake Tana
region.
