The seventh name was not tele-
graphed, for there was no seventh, as
1t was expected there would be. Five
of the sextuplets are already dead
Only one, girl, lives.
What would population of the earth
be If such births were the rule and
all lived?
At the opening Of the Catholic press
exhibition in Vatican City, Pope Plus,
for the second time within two days,
cautioned the world against commu-
nism, which he called "the great terror
which threatens all the world"
For the comfort of those that live
In dread of final Communist world
conquest, it may be said that thus far
nothing opposed to human nature has
ever succeeded.
BY the arrest in California of Thorn
as HI. Robinson, Jr., kidnaper of Mrs.
Stoll, Mr.. Hoover and his Omen
brought into the shadow of the electric
chair the last of the group of danger
GUS criminals that have recently been
wandering about the country.
This bad man." like others recently
gathered in, shook with fright when
he found the gun pointed at him, made
no effort to fight. When the guns are
pointed the wrong way, bad men" oft
en- change to good, meek and scared
men.
Stamp collectors have held a celebra-
ton, grateful to Doctor Eckener for
new kind of stamp. How many ways
man finds to keep busy and at the
same time avoid thinking!
Collecting queer things, stamps or
tear jugs; playing bridge, working
crossword puzzles, playing solitaire,
rushing to the far corners of the world
to spend money-usually not earned;
going to Africa to kill big game ami
mails. Those are some substitutes for
thinking and working constructively,
the only occupation worthy Of hui
man being.
Mrs. James C. Canipe of Clovis, New
Mexico, as girl was not able to finish
high school, but that did not discour-
age her. She waited some years. Then
she joined the senior high school class
with her son and daughter-in-law, and
will graduate with them this month,
among the most brilliant scholars.
Chancellor Hitler, who was never mar
ried, nevertheless thinks marriage a
good idea. Young Nazis, in the public
employ. have been told that unless
they marry by the time they are twen-
ty-six years old there is something the
matter with their courage and will

A syndicate is formed to seek the
''buried gold bags Of Alexander the
Great" containing at least 100000
in yellow wealth.
Alexander the Greats ghost might

ander was too busy to collect gold, and
not the kind of man to bury 1t In a
hole
Encouraged by her father, sixteen
year-old high school girl walked onto
the wing of small plane, prepared
for a first parachute jump, at 1880
feet. The pilot perceived that the
parachute cord had been pulled prema-
turely; pulled her back into the cock
pit in time to save her from death.
Without requiring encouragement,
Mrs. Harriet o. Hague eighty-six years
old, flew the ocean on the Hindenburg
return trip. Tell that to your friend
who used to oppose female suffrage
because women are not brave like
men,"
Germany Is building many fleets Of
small aircraft, and some day this coun-
try's automobile men will turn to air
plane building; then, those already
past sixty may live to see in the air
25,OOO,O00 flying machines, one for
every automobile on the ground.
The italian flag flies over Halle
Selassie's palace. He will never see
that palace again, but he has boxes of
gold bars with him and has moved to
a safer, better climate.
The civilized world. whatever its at
titude toward the slave-dealing alleged
descendants of King Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba. must rejoice in Mus
eolini's proclamation abollshing slavery
throughout Ethiopia, where slaves have
been the chief cash-producing product.
