the crocodile and a host of other ami
mails were worshiped.
Doubtless it is to ancient Egypt that
we owe our own folk superstitions
about the cat. In Egypt the cat was
worshiped during its life and en-
balmed after death with all the cere-
mony accorded the funeral of Pha-
raoh.
All of these animals and many more
have been worshiped by civilized peo-
pie. And, of course, dozens of others
are worshiped by primitive people.
The totems Of the early American
Indians are typical of the animal
worship among savages. Any good
museum includes totems showing the
bear or beaver or bird worship of the
first inhabitants of America.

Japanese Find Excuse
for Action in China

THERE was every reason to believe
l. that Japan had found, or manufac-
tured, excuses for further encroach-
ments in northern China. and that Sc
rious conflict between the two nations
would ensue unless China were sub
missive. The Japanese alleged that
bridge on the railway line between
Tangku and Tientsin was destroyed
and that there was an attempt to
wreck a troop train. The highest jap
anese officers In North China were
summoned to a conference in Tientsin.
Yakichiro Suma, Japanese consul
general in Marking, declared publicly
that China must choose either mutual
interdependence with Japan or war
with Japan" and he said he had in
formed Generalissimo Kai-shek, Chi
nese dictator, of this viewpoint. "Ja-
pan has gone too far to retreat now
and must advance straight ahead with
immutable convictions" Suma said.
The Japanese military command,
meanwhile, disclosed frankly some of
their demands upon China. These in
Guided:
/. Privilege of building railroads,
military and civilian air bases and
army barracks.
2. Establishment Of regular air serv-
Ice between China and Japan.
8. An economic. political and mill
tary position for Japan In China.

Business Men Oppose
New GuHey Coal Bill

DOTH the United States Chamber Of
- Commerce and the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers Is firmly Op-
posed 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 cham
Der, and James A. Emery, general coun-
sci for the manufacturers association,
recalled, in almost Identical language,
that the most widely discredited phase
of the defunct MIRA was price fixing
through codes. The new Guffey-Vin-
son bill, they said, like the old bill, is
designed to establish price fixing by
levying prohibitory tax on products
of mines which do not submit to its
provisions.
ut is time" Mr.. Emery said, shat
we began to analyze these stop-gaps
drafted hurriedly in an attempt to
make permanent law of the things that
are beyond control of congress and of
the federal government; things which
must, in the end, be harmful to the
nation as q whole. Those who object
to the new Guffey- Vinson bill did not
even have an opportunity to present
their valid reasons for objecting."

Germany Celebrates Her
Revived Navy

WITH three days of maneuvers, re-
wv views and ceremonies, Germany
celebrated the revival of her navy, and
closed the big event by dedicating at
Kiel the huge monument to the men
and ships that went down In the Battle
of Jutland, Reichsfuehrer Hitler was
aboard the dispatch boat Grille and
from its topmast flew the old flag of
the kaisers. In the maneuvers the
new navy, about fifty battleships, cruis.
ers, destrOyers and submarines repealed
an "enemy" attack on Kiel harbor.
New submarines and speedboats, first
units of the fleet being built under the
Anglo German treaty which wiped
away the Versailles treaty limitations
of the reich navy to 100000 tons, were
shown publicly for the first time.
Hitler, himself, did not speak during
the ceremonies Of the monument dedi-
cation. Instead he listened to Admiral
Raeder, Vice Admiral Wolf, and Ad.
miral Won Prother, who was chief of
staff during the Jutland fight. The lat
ter two, both veterans Of that fight,
paid tribute to the English as well as
the German heroes of the engagement.
Thousands of former sailors from
all parts of Germany participated in
the ceremonies. There were also as
sembled former colonial soldiers,
dressed in their khaki uniforms. The
presence Of these colonials constantly
is assuming greater importance In Ger.
man gatherings.

Garden Homes Planned by
Housing Administrators

xxOu9Alk 110AAAAAAASSA 0SOA
G TEWART MCDONALD, federal
- housing administrator, outlined to
newspaper men new program which
provides for the construction Of gar
den homes outside Of large cities
that will aid in the gradual move
ment of industrial workers from ur-
ban and suburban areas to small
plots several miles out in the coun-
try. He said President Roosevelt
was enthusiastic over the plan.
Emphasizing that "this is not any
thing in the way of benevolent
proposition" and that no grants OF
federal funds were involved, Mr.. Nc
Donald said 1t would be accomplished
through a broadening of FILA regu-
latlons to permit government insur-
ance of mortgages on such property.
This will enable bankers and other
leaders to advance funds for the de-
velopment of these ''in between"
areas for residential purposes, he
said.
"The President believes that when
ever possible people should be on an
acre to two acres of ground with
trees, gardens and shrubbery," he
said. "This plan has been made pos
sible by inventions and improvements
In the last ten years. Now we have
good roads, electricity, water facili-
ties, and other conveniences for those
areas in between the city and the
country. Such a program was not
