THANKS TO excel
Ai'hur nris"hhe lent police work,
trapped him. The sentimental who
say, Give the poor criminal an
other chance" will note that the
murderer was a convict on parole
when he killed the woman. He had
another chance" and made use of it.
Berlin reports great Hitler forty
seventh birthday celebration in
Guiding a fine display of military
power-airplanes war tanks, fight
ing men, apparently eager for a
fight. They were young and could
not remember the last war.
Particularly interesting were two
lines in the song sung by storm
troopers:
To-day we own Germany,
And tomorrow the whole world"
The day after Hitler celebrated
his forty-seventh birthday old Rome
celebrated her two thousand six
hundred and eighty-ninth anniver-
sary. Mussolini celebrates by launch
ing two new Italian cruisers and
speeding up airplane production. He
tells Italian fathers and mothers
he must have 6O,O0O,OOO population
for Italy not later than 1850. In 1921,
when MussOlini took charge, Italy's
population was 3S,000,000. There
will soon be room and food to raise
more Italians in Ethiopia. Easy for
all but the mother
England, doing we'll in a business
way, with more than $2,0O0,OO0,000
worth of Bank of England notes cir
culating among tradesmen, is col
lecting gold and depicting the
French reserves. While England
tries to keep down the price Of her
"no-gold" pound, France is afraid
she will not be able to keep up the
value of her gold franc, already
devalued by 80 per cent of its 1914
value. What becomes Of the magic
of gold?" Our dear old dollar Is
worth only 50 cents. and only deal
ers in exchange know it.
Doctor Benedict, of Carnegie lab
Oratories, finds that the adult ele-
plants heart beats from % to 80
times a minute, less than half the
human heartbeat, and the elephant
heartbeat is nine strokes faster
when the animal Is lying down.
Mans heart beats more rapidly
while he stands-because then it
must raise blood the full height of
the body. Old poets, with tired
hearts, should do their writing
lying down-the blood flows hOri-
zontally with little effort.
England is pleased; Sir Robert
Hadfield, who makes tough steel, an
n0unceS a shell for British naval
guns that can pass unhurt through
arniOr plate twelve inches thick and
explode on the other side. "One
shell of this kind fired in the region
of the magazine would probably
cause destruction of modern bat
tleship." England is manufacturing
the shells rapidly; others are manu-
featuring airplane bombs that might
make Old-fashiOned naval guns and
shells useless.
In Miami, a lady, first name Lois,
and married, has husky triplet
babies. Two gentlemen. the official
husband and another, demand Gus
tody of the triplets, each calling
himself the real father. The alleged
father" who is not the husband
would submit to any blood test, his
lawyer says.
How would King Solomon decide
that?
Clarence DarrOw, one of the cOun-
try's most convincing lawyers, says
on his seventy-ninth birthday:
81 say that religion is the belief
in future life and in God. l don't
believe in either"
The hOptOad beside the track,
watching the express train 90 by,
might say, reasonably enough:
II do not believe in such thing
as a locomotive engineer"
Moscow has returned to the Jap
anese government in Manchukuo,
with full military honOrs, the bodies
of three Japanese killed in a fight
with Soviet guards. The military
honors will not console the widows,
and. repeated often enough, such in
cidents lead to war.
Europe envies our fortunate coun-
try, which gives only paper dollars
and initiation paper bonds to its citi-
zens but has buried in the ground,
the biggest lump of gold on earth.
