compression is that of the flying en-
CINE, which congresses the power Of a
1,0OO-pound horse into less than three
pounds of metal
The government offered for sale six
hundred millions OF ~ per cent bonds,
four hundred millions of Is per cent
notes. The whole issue Is oversub-
scribed.
1t Is comfort for those that have
money and want no risk to invest even
at low interest rates, free of income
tax payments.
Such an investment Is much simpler
than running the risk OF A. business
enterprise with pay rolls and Jobs at
tached
To tax heavily the man who uses his
money and brains to give work to 9TH
ers, and free from taxation those that
buy bonds and take their ease, Is a
brand-new kind Of democracy.
Men OF middle age and older may

Memorial day parade. some ninety and

All the old soldiers are very thin
men, averaging In weight less than 14O
pounds. Had they been fat they would
be In the grave not In any parade.
General Pershlng cut big birthday
cake with generals sword, Mrs.
Roosevelt looking on, and on Memorial
day he warned America against anoth-
er war.
To believe that this country can be
dragged into war without a repeti-
tlon Of our big war folly Is not compll-
mentary to those In charge. No for
eign nation would force war ON the
United States, and thus put United
States resources, and any fighting quail
tiles that Americans may possess, on
the side of that foreign nations en-
emies.
The unfortunate congressman, Zion
check, from the Northwest, Is locked
up In Washington, his sanity to be In
vestlgated, after he visited the White
House with present OF empty beer
bottles for the President.
The unfortunate congressman's an
tics are not important In themselves,
but you wonder what qualities were
seen In him by the voters.
The United States Supreme court
declared unconstitutional New York
state law that would permit New York
to fix minimum wage for women and
children.
Chief Justice Hughes, who did not
agree with the majority opinion, wrote:
II find nothing In the federal Constitu-
ton which denies to the state the
power to protect women from being ex-
plotted by over-reaching employers"
Alfred T. Sloan, Jr., who ought to

enormous building operations are need

then more jobs
American cotton growers fighting the
boil weevil will sympathlze with Argen-
tine growers, attacked by vast swarms
Of deyouring locusts, far worse than
any weeyil. The Argentine ministry
Of agriculture announces 10000 tons Of
cotton devoured 10000 acres invaded.
Farmers fight the locusts by erecting
walls Of sheet iron or digging bitches,
into which the locusts swarm, to be
sprayed with gasoline and burned.
Tons of the pests are thus destroyed.
Mayors Of Arab cities In Palestine
warn the British that they must stop
Jewish immigration and the sale of
land to Jews In Palestine. The British
answer to the warning will probably
not be satisfactory to the Arabs. 1t Is
reported also that the central COM

munist party" is distributing litera-
ture urging British soldiers In Pales-
tine to mutiny.
The national Socialist convention In
Cleveland, formulating immediate de-
mands," denounces the New Deal. de-
mands q revision of the Constitution
and an end of what Is called the
"usurped power" of the Supreme court.
In all these matters. others were ahead
Of the Socialists.
