But that is not the years great
est scientific achievement, although
it is gratifying to know that Colo
mel Lindbergh, while so young, with
no more "air" to conquer, has
turned his concentrated mind to-
ward science. -~.-
Vastly more important than any
invention for studying human dis
ease is the new 2OO-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 Brit
ish keep on their thrones, in return
for a servility 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 $50,000,000 a
year, which might be possible, al
though his real fortune bears no in
terest. .&s =
He has 100000 Hindu subjects
under his rule, thanks to the tolera-
ton of Great Britain, and after
England has finished with the H..
100000, they might well yield an
average per year of 81 to the Nizam,
which would give him $50, 100000 a
year of new money.
The British who realize what air
planes mean, as they study Italy
and Ethiopia, have more than 1000
planes ordered for Immediate use,
with full equipment and men ready,
and, for every plane in the air, Eng
land will have three on the ground,
ready to replace losses.
Thus, Britain's program is 5000
planes, compared with our retail
buying. ....s..
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 Sen
ator Pittman, who wants to know
whether this country will withdraw
within itself as Japan advances, or
make a definite stand somewhere.
The west coast would give him
a 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" ("Holy Mighty, which must
have had a 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 "alsG
present." no names mentioned.
Their. murders were not sufficient
ly interesting.
Japanese airplanes bomb Kuy'
uan in China; many killed"-includ
ing civilians 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
justifying the sudden decision to
carve up Ethiopia to satisfy Italy
reveals the fact that British ships
feared to visit italian ports during
the recent unpleasantness. Tha!
brings danger too close.
The country has imitation now
with it's 59-cent dollar and double
the amount of cash circulating com
pared with prosperous 1929.
Imitation is not realized, because
bankers, their vaults bullying, do not
dare lend. x.,... .~.--.ro
Mussolini calls those trying to
starve his people q, with sanctions
"egotistical, hypoeritical," says Italy
can go on in spite Of them.
Tall Queen Elena, the kings wife
prays at the tomb of the italian
Unknown Soldier ''for the triumph
of Roman civilization in Africa"
If it is possible to talk or think
in the tomb, that Unknown Soldie'
may have murmured: $50, they are
still at it." ,-as --%>.,ss2ls
