The resettlement decision affected
only that part Of the relief activities
under Professor Tugwell's administra-
ton, leaving undecided the remainder

Much of the resettlement money has
been spent and much more allocated,
cancellation of which will raise prob

At Angels Camp, Calf, $4,000 per-
sons watched the annual Calaveras
county frog-jumping contest and saw
"Can't Take 1t" cover distance of II
feet 8 inches in three hops. Another
frog, raised on the ranch of the late
Will Rogers, was second, with IL feet
2 inches.
twenty-five thousand human beings
watched some frogs hop; not half as
many would have gathered to hear
Einstein lecture on relatively.
It is suggested that every American
be compelled to go to school until
twenty-five years of age to cut down
the competition for jobs.
It might be simpler to keep every
body in school until sixty and then
give everybody pension of $500
month. What could be simpler than
that?
The average sensible American starts
making living long before he is twen-
9ty-two and would do well to continue
ON that basis.
Sir Hubert wilkins, who has flown
An the Arctic, Antarctic and other queer
regions by plane, crossed the Atlantic
by dirigible recently.
Says Sir Hubert:
"From almost anywhere In the
Omitted States, a business man could
spend Wednesday and Thursday going
about his business, catch the dirigible

two business days in Europe and be at
ahis desk the early part Of the next
week."

New York police arrested middle
aged woman begging near church and
"acting strangely" She wore mems
shoes, five dresses, one over the other,
land carried bank books showing de-
posts of $4,000. -
This should not discourage wise
charity. Not every old woman, beg

thoughtless, indiscriminate giving,
which encourages professional beggary
and causes young beggars to graduate
as criminals.
Following an old Roman custom,
Mussolini is taking a census of the
Philippians that remain. The total
humber is between six and fourteen
millions. Exact figures are wanted.
The able-bodied will be put to work,
plows, spades and shovels supplied by
tMussolini, with Italians telling the
philippians where and what to dig.
srhat need not horrify us, for it is what
we have been doing in this country for
Ia long time. 1t will be better for the
philippians than killing and selling each
pther into slavery.
Americans ask three questions:
s'What is the news? Who won the
game? Have you heard the story
about -" For that reason. the sue
cessful newspaper pays attention first
to the news, told accurately and vivid
ly, then it concentrates on sport, then
on humor. Such dry things as opin-
Aons, editorials, books, in the rear. Fic-

fiction is scarce and the other kind not
worth printing.
Anti-religious hatred persists in
Spain. While Pope Plus in Rome was
addressing representatives of Catholic

the Hitler attitude toward the Catholic
