Fire Hazards In Schools
After a discussion of fire haz-
ards found in rural schools and the
absence of necessary equipment to
combat small fires, the subject was
referred to the legislative commit
tee. Recent fires in upper Kent
county developed the fact that the
various fire companies have differ
ent types of hose couplings. making
# impossible to hook up with each
other, to fight serious fires. The del
esates were instructed to report on
the extent Of this problem.
The educational committee re-
ceived essays from Harrington,
Clayton. and Hartly. and will an
nounce the county winners in the
near future.

WOMEN ARE NOT
SO EASY" AS MEN
IN FLATTERY GAME

"What do you think of the claim
that women like admiration and fiat
terry as much as men and are no less
fools than men in the hands of one
of the other sex who uses that meth
od of getting into their good graces?
Don't you think that's ridiculous?
I've never yet met a man who
wouldn't believe anything charming
and delightful about himself that any
woman might tell him. But I've seen
many man try to bamboozle a wom-
an and fail because he laid it on too
thick" This was asked of woman
writer of note, who replied as fol-
lows:
think our reader has hit upon an
important truth in the relationship of
the sexes.
I do not doubt for one moment that
women like admiration as much as
men-that is admiration from the
other sex. Indeed l believe this is in
a way a more important factor with
women than with men. By that I
mean that while men may "eat up"
admiration from the other sex, that
is not the motivating factor of their
interest in them; while with some
women delight in masculine admira-
tion is largely the root of their enjoy
ment of the society of the other sex.
But-women are not so "easy" as
men. A homely woman does not
easily accept q mans insistence that
she is beautiful, but many bald, fat

AdOniS. Women can be flattered.
but it has to be done more subtly.
Therefore the man who is wise will
discriminate in his flattery. He viii
look for the good points" which in
some form or other are possessed by
every woman, and concentrate on
them, rather than attempt to endow
her with charms which she realizes
are not hers.
1t is not that women like f1attery
less, but they have more difficulty |
than men in putting entirely to sleep
their intelligence and common sense,

Leaders of Jewry Plan
Exodus From Germany

IF PLANS announced in st. Louis
l. by leaders of world Jewry are
carried out, there is to be another
exodus, this time from Germany
where the Jews are greatly op-
pressed by the Hitlerites. Sir Her
bert Samuel, eminent British Jew,
attending the national council of
Jewish federations and welfare
funds, said a definite method would
be formulated soon to provide for
the gradual emigration of at least
100000 of the German reich's esti-
mated 100000 Jewish population.
The undertaking will be financed by
a fund of about $15,000,OOO raised
by English and American Jews.
"We cannot hope to take all Jews
from Germany" said Sir Herbert.
Many of the older generation, most
of whom are living on their savings,
must die there. 1t Is the young
German Jew, helpless and hopeless
now, whom we would aid. Our OBJ
ject is to set him up in another
country as a self-dependent, self
reliant citiZen-not to make him
name on a relief list"

Baby Bond Bonus Passed
Over Presidents Veto

DAYMENT of the veterans bonus
L by means of baby bonds payable
on demand was enacted into law by
congress, and the money for the
ex-Soldiers will be available on June
Is. The Harrison compromise bonus
bill that went through the senate
and house easily, was vetoed by
President Roosevelt. The house i'm
mediately and enthusiastically re-
passed the measure. The senate
was a little more deliberate, but
within three days it, too, had over
ridden the disapproval of the Chief
Executive, and the bill was made
law. The vote in the senate was
76 to 10. In the house it had been
324 to 81.
It was a notable fact that all the
senatOrs-95 in number, for Huey
Longs successor has not yet taken
his seat-were present and voting.
Notable, but not strange when one
remembers this is an election year.
Fifty-seven Democrats, 16 Republic
ans and radicalS-La Toilette of
Wisconsin, Shipstead and Benson of
Minnesota-votedf for the bill. while
IL Democrats and Z Republicans
voted against it..
The galleries were filled and
there was wild cheering when the
vote was announced. Republican
senators amused themselves and
the spectators by twitting the Dem
Ocrats on their failure to stand by
their chief, the most voluble of the
twitters being Senator Hastings of
Delaware.
Informed Of the vote, President
Roosevelt at once ordered govern
ment departments to prepare for
payment of the bonus certificates as
quickly as accuracy will permit.
Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
thau said that the payment would
be the most difficult mechanical
task the treasury had faced in it's
history. He said the treasury would
need S2,500,000 and the veterans
administration $5,000,00O to increase
the force to take care of the job.
More than seven million interest
calculations will be necessary.

Premier Nessirn Pasha
of Egypt Resigns

DREMIER NESSIM PA H A,
weary of his job since the anti
British riots started November Is,
has handed the resignation of his
cabinet to King Fuad l. The resig-
nation was accepted.
Nassim found it exhausting to
keep an equilibrium between the
conflicting forces of the throne, the
British residency, the nationalists
and their cOmpatriots. But the final
blow, dealt him by the British gov
ernment at London, was the thinly
yelled ultimatum TO Egyptian Ma
tiOnalism, in the form of verbal in
structions for negotiations for an
AnglO-Egyptian treaty. The sting
to Egyptian pride was in the word
ing that if the present negOtia-
tions fail, the British consider their
hands will be free and will revise
their Egyptian policy.

Stately Funeral of
England's Dead King

EOR two minutes Tuesday after
noon Oondon time) there was
silence throughout all the vast
British empire. In st. Georges
chapel at Windsor the last rites
were being performed over the re-
mains Of the dead king, George v,
by the archbishop of Canterbury,
assisted by the archbishop of York
and the bishop of Windsor. The
late rulers body had been lying in
state for two days in Westminster
hall, London, and thousands upon
thousands of mourning Britons had
passed sadly by the bier, while 9th
er throngs filed all the churches
at special services. In the funeral
procession King Edward VIII walked
behind the catafalque wearing the
uniform of an admiral of the fleet.
With him were his brothers and af-
ter them came innumerable repre-
Sentatives of foreign nations, those
including kings and princes. The

Three Convictions in
Moro Castle Case

4 JURY in the United States Dis
n trict court in New York re-
turned verdicts Of guilty against
acting Capt William f. Warns and
three co-defendants in the criminal
negligence trial resulting from the
disastrous fire that swept the Moro
Castle off Asbury Park, September
s, 1884, taking toll of 1874 lives.
Besides Warns, those convicted
were Eben Starr Abbott, chief engi-
neer of the burned ship; Henry e.
Cabaud, executive vice president of
the New York & Cuba Mail Steam
ship company, operators of the
Ward Line, and the New York &
Cuba company itself.
Charges of negligence and cow
drdice on the part of officers and
crew of the liner were made by
survivors testifying at the trial.
Abbott was shown to have Scram-
bled into one of the first lifeboats
put overheard after ordering an as
sistant to go below and investigate
the progress of the fire. Warns
was accused of delaying the send
ing out of an sos until it was too

son, Jackson and Cleveland" and
concerning their action in the Dem
Ocratic national convention next
June when the delegates are asked
to indOrse the dOings of the Roose-
welt administration. There could
be no misunderstanding Smiths
meaning, and he must now be con-
sidered the leader of the conserva-
tive Democrats in their revolt
against the policies of the New
Dealers. The concern of the admin
iStratiOn Democrats is now as to
how extensive will be the bolt and
whether the conservatives will put
up their own ticket, support the Re-
publican nominee or merely stay
away from the polls. OF course in
any case the Republican cause will
be aided materially, unless the
guesses of its leaders are all wrong.
New Deal Democrats were quite
undismayed by the Smith speech,
which they declared was weak and
Ineffective. They announced that
Majority Leader Joseph Il. Robin
son of the senate would deliver the
official reply in radio address, and
unofficial answers to Smiths denun-
citation came from various sources.
One of the latter, by Donald Rich
berg and Melvin d. Hildreth on be-
half of the National Progressive
league, dug up this quotation from
one of Smiths speeches in the 1928
campaign:
"The cry of socialism has been
patented by the powerful interests
that desire to put a damper on pro-
gressiye legislation. Failing to
meet arguments fairly and square
ly, special interest falls back on the
old stock phrase of socialism
TO refer to the remedies for all
these evils as state socialism is not
constructive craftsmanship, it is not
leadership; and leadership is what
this country is hungry for today"
The Richberg statement contin-
ued: 'If Governor Smith was right
II 1928, then by that same token
and by his own once powerful ar
gumentS Alfred f. Smith must he
wrong today, when he is giving aid
and comfort to the opponents of
progressive policies which he for
merly espOused."
Mr. Smith in his Liberty league
speech never once named President
Roosevelt but he specifically put on
that gentleman the full blame for
reputation of most of the planks in
the Democratic platform of 1882,
which he declared was the best

no friend of Mussolini, is the min
lister of state concerned chiefly with
league affairs. In other respects
there is nothing especially notable
about the Sarraut cabinet. Regnier
is retained as finance minister, and
he is committed to the Laval policy
of defending the franc.
Flandin went to London for the
funeral of King George, and it is
rumored in Paris that he would
sound out British bankers on the
subject of loan Of three billion
francs which the French treasury
sorely needs. With Laval in the
discard. the British might look on
this suggestion with favor.

Death of G. w. Wickersham,
Eminent Attorney

Eminent Attorney
NOTEWORTHY among recent
L Y deaths is that of George W..
Wickersham of New York, who was
attorney general Of the United
States in the Taft administration
and for many years one of the coun-
try's leading corporation lawyers.
He was seventy-seven years old, and
died of heart disease in a taXicab.
Mr.. Wickersham was chairman Of
the famous Hoover commission
named to investigate prohibition
and other law enforcement in 1929.
The commissions report opposed
repeal, but the document was ac-
companied by the members individ-
ual statements in which a majority
urged repeal or modification of the
eighteenth amendment. The net re-
suit was confusing.
Much good work, overlooked by
the public in the controversy over
prohibition, nevertheless was done
by the commission. Its exhaustive
reports, filed early in 1881, covered
many phases of the crime problem
and were regarded as important
contributions in that field.

Bees Cluster Together
and Generate Own Heat

During the cold months of win
ter, conditions within the beehive
are entirely different from what
they are in summer. In normal
colony drones are not present and
no brood rearing is in process. AS
the winter approaches and tempera-
lures drop to around 60 degrees
Fahrenheit the bees cluster tightly
together into one big ball with the
queen at the center. At tempera-
lures below 81 degrees the bees at
the center of the cluster generate
heat by muscular activity, while
those on the outside Of the cluster
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-02-07

act as insulators. The temperature
at the outside ring of the cluster Is
maintained at an approximate tenn
perature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit
throughout the winter. This cluster
of bees moves from place to place
within the hive, always keeping in
contact with the food supply and
the cluster does not break again
until outside temperatures rise high
enough for bee flight.
Unlike their close relations, the
humble bees and wasps, the honey
bee workers survive the long win
ter months. 1t is only the impreg-
mated queens of the wild species
that live through the winter
