In exchanging experiences the

supplement the family income.
Australian countrywomen main

wing of painted butterfly to wait
over the sleeping Titania.
The history of the fan Is as old
as civilization. In the beginning ii
probably was a palm leaf or bird
wing used for winnowing grain,
tanning fires or brushing flies. The
first record of a fan, it is said, ap
pears in the annals of the Chow
dynasty, 1052-1101 r. G. The EN-
peror received as tribute two mag
nificent tropical birds. The birds
not surviving, the feathers were
made into fans. Ancient sculpture
shows attendants waving fans.
Fans were first used by men, but
women soon discovered their artis-
tic possibilities and quickly ap-
prOpriated them. When an EN-
peror went to war two fans were
nailed upright on his chariot as
standards. The empress carried a
fan to dust the chariot wheels lest
her robes be soiled.

Business Men Oppose
New Guffey Coal Bill

DOTH the United States Chamber
- of Commerce and the National
Association of Manufacturers is
firmly opposed to the new Guffey-
vinson coal control bill designed to
replace the act declared invalid by
the United States Supreme court.
Harper Sibley. president of the
chamber, and James A. Emery, gen.
eral counsel for the manufacturers
association, recalled, in almost iden-
tical language, that the most widely
discredited phase of the defunct
NRA was price fixing through codes.
The new Guffey-Vinson bill, they
said. like the old bin, is designed to
establish price fixing by levying a
prohibitory tax on products of mines
which do not submit to its provi-
sions.

Liner Queen Mary Fails
to Equal the Record

RITAIN'S magnificent new liner
- Queen Mary was given an up
roarious welcome at New York as
she completed the first leg of her
maiden transatlantic passage. The
giant steamship behaved we'll i'm
every way but fell short by 40 min
utes of equaling the record set a
year ago by the French liner Nor
mandie. The Queen Mary's officers
offered no apology for this, but it
was public knowledge that her
speed had been cut down by a fog
off the American coast.
The Queen Mary averaged 29.13
knots on a measured course of 3,15S
nautical miles, between Cherbourg
breakwater and Ambrose light, COM
pleting the journey between those
two points in days II hours and

Japanese Find Excuse
for Action in China

THERE was every reason to be,
lieve that Japan had found, or
manufactured, excuses for further
encroachmehts in northern China,
and that serious conflict between
the two nations would ensue unless
China were submissive. The Jap
anese alleged that bridge on the
railway between Tanaku and Tien-
tsin was destroyed and that there
was an attempt to wreck a troop
train. The highest Japanese officers
in North China were summoned to
a conference in Tientsin.
Yakichiro Suma, Japanese consul
general in Marking, declared pub
licly that China must choose either
mutual interdependence with ia
pan or war with Japan" and he
said he had informed GeneralissimO
Kai-shek. Chinese dictator, of this
viewpoint. Japan has gone too far
to retreat now and must advance
straight ahead with immutable con-
victions," Suma said.
The Japanese military command,
meanwhile, disclosed frankly some
of their demands upon China. These
included:
l. Privilege of building railroads.
military and civilian air bases and
army barracks.
,. Establishment of regular air
service between China and Japan.

MARION ZIONCHECK, the pc

Seattle, Wash, outdid all his previ-
Gus performances in one day of wild
deeds and landed in the Washing

sanity was to be tested. He had

don't believe we want anything OF
that kind over here. This type Of
centralized planning is based on the
idea that the American citizen Is not

he requires some man to tell him what

lieve that the American people, under

Appalling Waste, Extravaganza.
In Kansas he started with sound
financing, a principle that became
more impressive in national terms
1--WE have seen appalling waste and
extravaganza. We are exhausting our
capital on useless projects which ad-
vance us no further on our way. We
must not spend more than We can
afford. We must cut down our debts
and stop making new ones"
Sound financing he considers in its
close relation to monetary question.
Slipshod methods lead toward one Of
two dangerous courses, imitation or the
imposition of more taxes.
Imitation can only culminate In
wiping out the savings of the Amer
ican people"
High taxes coupled with continued
reckless spending would give only
temporary relief, he points out.
Landon's attitude on relief was
stated thus:
II do not believe that the problems
presented are insurmountable in this
land of potential plenty. 1t has been
said that the demands for relief have
imperiled our Federal finances. That
is only half true. The money actually
reaching the unemployed and impov-
erished has not rocked the treasury.
The rocking has been done by abys-
NAL waste through changes of policy,
maladministration and ruthless parti-
sanShip. We need desperately q
cheaper, simpler and more responsible
relief administration" He sees the
final solution in recovery. but recog-
nizes a longtime national relief
problem.
II, for one. am dedicated to the
proposition that henceforth no Amer
ican citizen shall ever again be put
in position where he has to sell his
vote for bread" he has said.
Agriculture, as Landon sees it, Is
fundamental to the economics of the
country. It concerns the family
table, the factory. the corner grocery
