tor Dewey, who, before Supreme Court
Justice McCook, in New York city, has
convicted a ".topnotch racketeer," as
Mr.. Dewey calls him-Charles ('Lucky')
Luciano. He and eight vice-ring asso-
ciates are convicted on G2 counts, that
may entail prison sentences Of 1,24O
years for Lucky and each associate.
This is an actual conviction for
crime, not for taxdodging.
In this world, many laugh and few
do things. Fulton said he would run
a boat up the Hudson river by steam;
crowds gathered to laugh.
When it was suggested early in this
century that men. would soon fly, sue
cessfully, millions laughed.
Had it been suggested that an army
officer would cross the continent flying
blind in hooded cabin, seeing moth
ing, guided by scientific ''radio BEAM"
the laughs would have been louder; but
that is what Major Eaker, OF the army
air corps, has just DONE If you should
say now that giant ships will fly around
this earth, up in the stratosphere,
above clouds and storms, carrying thou
sands of passengers, dropping them at
their various destinations in smaller
ships, "around the world in 4S hours
or less" there would be more laugh
ter but it would be foolish laughter.
What men can imagine they can do, and
more.
General Badoglio, who was sent by
Mussolini to take over Ethiopia, and
did so, celebrated his triumph in Rome,
Mussolfni and the Italian king, now
emperor of Ethiopia, assisting.
The triumphant general, named vice
roy of Ethiopia by Mussolini who sur
prised the world with the swiftness of
his conquest, led his troops, burned by
the tropical sun, under the victory arch
of Constantine to the tomb of the I'M
known soldier of the big war.
STORMS kill nine in Oklahoma and
Kansas; tornadoes, floods and lightning
cause havoc" so runs the headline, and
so other headlines have been running
for months past. Hail ruins crops;
lightning bolts kill three; "twisters,"
those powerful, revolving windstorms,
} lift up and knock down little houses.
4 The sultan of Sulu is dead on the Is
land of Jolo, now only sultan in name.
Once, as spiritual and temporal head,
he ruled all the Mohammedans of the
Sulu archipelago.
The death of this former ruler, ia
malul Hiram, recalls an interesting in
cident following the Spanish war. ia

The Black: Legion. latest secret MUIR
der organization, tells candidates:
"You cannot join unless you are ma
tive-born, white, Protestant gentle;
willing to proceed against negroes,
Catholics !, and Jews" To proceed

Of Christ in America, Protestant or

Sir Samuel Hoare had to leave the
British cabinet because he opposed the
foolishness of sending great British
fleet into the Mediterranean to protect
Halle Selassie, not protecting him in
the least.
Now, Sir Samuel Hoare is back in
the British. cabinet, "the king pleased
to appoint him." This means, prob
ably, that the futile League of Nations
sanctions" effort to coerce Mussolini
will be dropped. Many things are cas-

Why do Americans swallow eagerly
anything in the way of foreign-made
goods, especially if they come from the
friendly British islands?
British merchants advertise proudly
"Made in Great Britain" Every Eng
lishman urges "Buy British" Ameri-
cans seem proud if they can advertise
made in England" or "Made in
France" Perhaps our goods are in
ferior but every American makes his
money here-why not back our own
people?
