arthur brso"he But that is not
the years greatest scientific achieve
ment, although it is gratifying to
know that Colonel Lindbergh, while
so young, with no more "air" to con-
quer, has turned his concentrated
mind toward science.
Vastly more important than any in
vention for studying human disease is
the new 200-inch telescope lens that
will enable men to study the universe
more intelligently. That universe is
more important than any cancer or
gland.
The Nizam of Hyderabad, one of the
numerous rulers whom the British keep
on their thrones, in return for a SER
Witty that delivers their subjects to
the British, is about to celebrate his
silver jubilee as ruler.
He interests Americans, because he
Is called absolutely the richest man in
the world, richer than Rockefeller,
Ford or Mellon.
His income is put at $5OOOO,O0O q
year, which might be possible, al
though his real fortune bears no in
terest.
He has 100000 Hindu subjects
under his rule, thanks to the tolera-
ton of Great Britain, and after Eng
land has finished with the 100000,
they might well yield an average per
year of 81 to the Nizam, which would
give him $56,0OO,OOO a year of new
money.
The British, who realize what air
planes mean, as they study Italy and
Ethiopia, have more than 1900 planes
ordered for immediate use, with full
equipment and men ready, and, for
every plane in the air, England will
have three on the ground, ready to
replace losses.
Thus Britain's program is 5000
planes, compared with our retail buy
ing.
Senator Pittman thinks Japan plans
to conquer the United States and the
rest of the world. He says Japan will
seize the Philippines as soon as the
opportunity offers" That is probable;
the Philippines are in Asia.
After the Philippines Japan will
take Mexico, then the west coast of
the United States, according to Sem
ator Pittman, who wants to know
whether this country will withdraw
within itself as Japan advances, or
make definite stand somewhere.
The west coast would give him
definite answer about that.
There Is an aristocracy even In
crime. You read, "Hauptmann sings
carols in death house,"
Five other murderers in the same
house sang the carols with him, Jingle
Bells" and also "Heilige Nacht"
c'Holy Mighty, which must have had
strange sound coming from the
threats of murderers.
There are six murderers in the death
house, and all sang together, but the
other five are merely "also present"
no names mentioned.
Their murders were not sufficiently
interesting.
Japanese airplanes bomb Kuyuan
IN China; many Notwithstanding CT
villains and soldiers.
Japanese ordered China's soldiers to
evacuate the city, dropped bombs when
they refused.
What will kind-hearted England and
the League of Nations do about that?
Not much. Premier Baldwin, justify
Ing the sudden decision to carve up
Ethiopia to satisfy Italy, reveals the
fact that British ships feared to visit
Italian ports during the recent un-
| pleasantness. That brings danger too
close.
The country has imitation now, with
| its 59-cent dollars and double the
amount of cash circulating compared
with prosperous 1929.
Imitation is not realized, because
bankers, their vaults Dulg1ng, DO not
dare lend, not knowing what is good
security or what outstanding 100 per
cent American will be flat broke six
months hence.
Mussolini calls those trying to starve
his people with sanctions 'egotistical,
hypocritical," says Italy can go on in
| spite of them.
Tall Queen Elena, the kings wife,
prays at the tomb of the Italian Un-
known Soldier ''for the triumph Of
Roman civilization in Africa"
If 1t is possible to talk or think in
| the tomb, that Unknown Soldier may
have murmured: $50, they are still
at It."
