Promise Of Rains and Cooler
Weather for Drouth Areas

WITH a recession of the ex-
w tremely high temperatures
promised and the prospect of rains,
some measure of relief was in sight
for the sun-parched drouth areas OF
the Great Plains. Rains which fell
in portions of the Northwest revived
scattered areas. But for day after
day a record-breaking heat wave
had brought temperatures ranging
from 80 to ia from the Rocky
Mountains to the Appalachians.
Twenty-three states, eight OF
them in the South, were listed as
suffering in some degree from the
drouth. Ten of them-North and
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming,
Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee,
Oklahoma, Virginia and South
Carolina-were already in a critl-
cal stage. Five others-Kentucky
Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina
and West Virginia-were borderline
cases. Eight others where the full
severity of the drouth had not yet
been felt were: Nebraska, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Kan
sas, Indiana and Ohio.
The sweltering heat and drouth
spread into Canada. The prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta-Canada's bread
basketball begun to suffer like
their neighbors in the United
States. Except for scattered To-
cal showers, there had been no
rain from Ontario westward to the
Canadian Rockies since June 16.
With the full extent of the dam
age in the "dust BOWL area of the
Northwest not yet known, the fed
eral government made plans to
deal with a long-range disaster.
President Roosevelt, taking person
al command of the relief program
in Washington, announced that he
would make a personal tour OF the
drouth-stricken areas within the
next few weeks.
The President announced that
the federal government had pre-
pared a comprehensive plan where
by 10000 out of $4,000 farm fami-
lies impoverished by the drcuth In
the Northwest would be given i'm
mediate cash assistance. He de-
clared that he will make his trip
after the relief program has had an
opportunity to get under way, to
see for himself exactly how much
damage was caused by the drouth
and whether fnancially-ruined fam
lies are receiving the proper as
SiStance.

noon sermons reached the ears-of
millions.
His eloquence as a preacher
brought him a steadily growing
fame. Peace and temperance were
the keystones of his philosophy, al
though he expressed his views
freely on politics, civic affairs, lit
erature and crime as well as reli-
gious affairs. His last public adj
dress dealt with "The World at

Before leaving to board the

of eastern state representatives on
the matter of flood control. Rep

New Austro-German Pact
Makes Diplomatic History

A NEW era in European diplo-
4 \ macy was heralded with the
signing of a treaty between Ger
many and Austria re-establishing
peace and normal relations be-
tween the two nations.
Since Italy has been acting in
the role of big brother to Austria
in the past two years it was re-
garded as a virtual certainty that
Premier Mussolini had sanctioned
the new pact. Observers pointed
out that with Germany, Austria
and Italy in accord and with Po-
land friendly to Hitler's aims, Eu-
rope now has prospective ALI
ance more powerful than the triple
alliance of Germany, Italy and Au-
stria-Hungary preceding the World
war.
By the terms of the new Austro-
German pact, the sovereignty of
Austria is guaranteed, a friendly
attitude by Austria toward Ger
many is promised, amnesty to Nazi
agitators in Austria is given AID
freedom of Austrian Nazi now in
termed in Germany is permitted.
In sealing the Austro-German
agreement Chancellor Kurt Schus-
chnigg of Austria wired a mes
sage of congratulations to Chancel-
lor Hitler expressing his conviction
that the agreement would be to
the advantage of the whole Ger
man people" In replying Hitler
expressed the wish ''that this
agreement will re-establish the old
traditional relations springins from
racial unity and the centuries long
common history of the two peo-
pies. 1t is understood that both
Hitler and Schuschnigg will meet
in the near future, probably at Hit
ler's summer home at Berchtesga-
den.
In diplomatic circles the signing
of the new pact was regarded as
another shrewd coup by Chancel-
Tor Hitler and Premier Mussolini.
The German and Italian dictators
have thrust dictatorially gov
erned Fascist and Nazi wedge
through central Europe from the
North Sea to the Mediterranean.
In Paris, French officials were
quoted as seeing in the new agree
ment an initial step toward Ger
man annexation of the Austrian
republic without. resorting to war.
They declared their belief that Hit
ler's actual entry into Vienna is
now only question of time. They
expressed their belief that Hitler
had signed the accord merely to
have his hands free for action
against the free city of Danzig and
Czechoslovakia.

ance, and you have it too there
will be no trouble.
If you think they are bigoted
and narrow minded, associate
with them as little as possible.
Remember that many people
you don't like and never could
like have just as much right to
life in this world as you have.
Be civil and considerable with
them.
Overlook such prejudices as
you may think they have.
Prejudices have started most
of the trouble from which this
world has suffered.
If some of those with whom
you may be thrown are pompous,
or bigoted, or top lofty, still treat
them cheerfully when you meet

But it is better to make your
close associates with people who
think as you do.

Rockefeller Celebrates
His 9th Birthday

QUITTING a big cake to celebrate
~ his ninety-seventh birthday,
John D. Rockefeller predicted that
he would live to be one hundred.
Despite temperature of 80 in the
shade, the famous nonagenarian
donned a sun helmet and went out
doors on his summer estate near
Lakewood, N. j.
The multimillionaire oil man and
philanthropist did not let the cele-
bration of his birthday interfere
with his daily nap or his daily aft
ernoon automobile ride.
Mr.. Rockefeller long since has
given up all forms of athletic activ-
tiles, including golf, formerly his
favorite pastime. A few years ago
he was down to few holes of golf
a day, but now he has given it
up entirely. 1t has been his custom

Beach, Fla, and his summers Ell

Cloves Were Priced a.
Wedding Gifts Long Az,

Gloves are seldom found among
wedding presents, but there was q
time, in old England, when brides
were very pleased with such gift.
For in those days, they were stuffed
with coins, the equivalent Of the
modern gift Of cheque, says a
writer in Pearson's London Weekly.
There are people living In Bel
GUM who can remember q queer
wedding ceremony in their country,
when the officiating priest asked
the groom for a ring and a pair Of
gloves, preferably red, with three
bits Of silver money in them. Put
ting the gloves into the groom's
right hand, he Joined this with the
right hand Of the bride, and then,
adroitly parting the clasped hands,
he left the gloves in the grasp Of
the bride. @-..- = .a&
The most expensive Of gloves
women can buy are cheap compared
with those worn by men Of high
rank 200 years ago. At the earl Of
Abrams sale, in 1859, a pair given
by King Henry VIII to Sir Anthony
Denny were bought for f22. And Q
pair Of mittens fetched Eos. They
are said to be preserved in an Irish
collection and to be among the Old
est gloves in the world. -G@
But long before then, men and
women were wearing gloves. A;
Greek historian tells of a contem-
porary who put on his gloves be-
fore sitting down to a meal 50 that
he could tear his meat to pieces
while it was still too hot for his
guests to tackle. . - E-..
Some Famous Optimists
st. Thomas Aquinas and his fol-
lowers endorsed the theory that
this is the best Of all possible
worlds. In the Renaissance, Gior-
dano Bruno voiced a feeling Of
worldwide Joy, a universal Opt
mism. At the beginning Of the
Eighteenth century the English
philosopher Shaftesbury found In
the beauty and harmony Of the uni
verse reason for enthusiasm Of
thought and living. The optimism
Of Rousseau was based upon his
belief in the nature Of man as God
descended.

Early Grown Onions VIII
Bring the Fewest Tears

Onions bring tears to the eyes
because Of the powerful vola-
tile Oil they contain-but their
strength depends somewhat upon
when and where they are grown.
"Onions grown during the winter.
spring, and early summer have q
milder odor than those Of the same
variety grown later In the sum-
mer," says W. R. Beattie, Of the
bureau of plant industry, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
"Hot growing temperatures enable
the onion to produce more Of the,
tear-producing oil than cooler tenn
peratures."
Discovery that tears from onions
are caused by volatile oil Is ac-
credited to a German chemist. He
distilled more than q ton Of onions
to obtain less than one-tenth OF q
pint Of pure oil. A drop Of this
oil is said to be enough to make
the odor Of onions noticeable
throughout several large buildings.
One variety Of Italian red onion
Is almost odorless when grown In
its native Italy, but decidedly
stronger when grown In this coun-
try. The most pungent varieties
grown in the United States are the
Red Creole, White Portugal, Aus
tralian Brown, and Ebenezer, and
in the mildest group are the Ital-
ian Red and sweet Spanish. types.
