Had he been elected he would aa\ e

Woodrow Wilson shoveled out in his
ecstasy of self-approval.
Rioting in London's "Mile End
Road" in which the faces of men
and women were slashed with razor
blades and one man was thrown
through a shop window, ETC., seems
rather ''un-English, to put it mild
ly. Fist fighting has been en-
couraged by distinguished English
men, including judges, on the
ground that it is better than using
knives"
1t is better, doubtless, but what
about the razor blades?
Germany honors its youngest
grandfather, Herman Jahnke, farm
laborer, thirty-six years old. Mar
ried at seventeen, his eldest
daughter became mother at seven
teen.
If all you want is children, that
record is satisfactory, although any
mouse family could beat it by $4,000
per cent, and almost any microbe by
a billion per cent.
If good children were desired, it
would have been better for Mr..
Jahnke to have his first child at
SO, and his first grandchild at go
or 70; at least that was Plato's
opinion.

purporting to come from a yacht

away from the coast of Hawaii,
making it convenient for smugglers

Japan, until recently convinced,
mistakenly, that this country is her
enemy. and for excellent reasons
keeping close watch on Russia and
her anti-Japanese Vladivojtok air
plane and submarine base, now
turns suspicious attention on dear
old John Bull.
Britain is supposed to have asked
nine nations to protest against lJa-
pans demands On China. That
should not worry Japan too much.
The same old John Bull got fifty
one nations to protest Mussolini's
attack on Ethiopia; but, paying no
attention, the able Italian went
ahead swallowing Ethiopia; sending
the little Halle Selassie o live in
Switzerland.
In his villa at San Reno, the
Duke of Borea D'Olmo celebrates
his one hundred and sixth birthday
in excellent health. He has been ac-
tive in Italian court circles since
1841, before the beginning of the
United States Mexican war.
Mussolini tells 200 farmers and
industrialists to prepare for a de
cisive conflict" that will be neces-
sary "to preserve order against an
archy."
Those that favor the present
civilization, he said, will have to
preserve it. "We are at the dawn
of a decisive conflict between the
representatives of order and an
archy." ID.
DR.. Irving Langmuir, brilliant
Nobel prize winner, announced a
"counterpartoflife, produced chem
ically; interesting, probably not il-
portant. Until some professor can
produce "some counterpart of life"
able to think, manufacture tel
escapes, explore the universe and
run for office, mans domination
will not be threatened. A cigar store
Indian is a counterpart" but not
an Indian. llL @
European nations are preparing
to recognize the Spanish, rebels
when they take Madrid and set up
a national government.
The idea is to take prompt action
and forestall the victorious insur-
gents giving Spanish territory to
italy or Germany; the Balearic is
lands to Italy for instance, to use as
naval and air bases, with Ceuta for
Germany. This would upset the bal
ance of power in the western Medit-
eranean and disturb old England,
with Egypt and the Suez Canal on
her mind. ia s R@
