YOU FIGURE It Out

IT IS true that the first session of
the seventy-fifth congress appro-
priated a vast amount of money,
but just how much? 1t depends
upon your point of view.
Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. W,
ranking minority member of the APP
preparations committee, in prepar-
ing compilation for the last issue
of the Congressional Record, esti-
mated that congress had appropri-
ated $40, 252, 1892, 556, all for use in
the current fiscal year. He con-
tended this amount of spending in
one fiscal year would result in a
deficit of between $4,000, 100000 and
81 1000, O00, 1000, and a national debt of
more than $40, 900, 900, 900.
Publication of Taber's statement
drew a reply from Clarence Cannon
(Dem., MOI, chairman of the COM
mittee. He presented a series of
tables which he claimed proved that
the last session appropriated only
Sc, 427 sos, 1854, of which only 81, 49,
648, 1922 was for the 1898 fiscal year.
4 Then, just to sharpen the wits of
laymen who sought the answer to
the puzzle, Carter Glass, Democrat
ic senator from Virginia, who has
often differed from the administra-
ton on points of expenditures, Of
fered his estimate that So, 389, 488, 1893
had been appropriated.

bert, American charge d'affaires in
Berlin.
Secretary Hull explained that the
action was being taken merely as
friendly gesture to the Nazi govern
ment, with whom he said the United
States is in complete diplomatic ac-
cord. Diplomatic reports have in
dictated that Dodd, now vacationing
here, had made himself unpopular
in Berlin because of criticism of the
Hitler governments policies. Ru-
NOR had it that he might not re-
turn to his post. .4.... III.

Louis Proves Worse
Than Most Severe
Critics Suspected

WHILE Joe Louis and Tommy
w Farr were taking care of their
international relations at Yankee
Stadium recently, two widely diver
gent viewpoints were developed.
One held by a majority of the woe
fully small crowd was that the visit
ing notable deserved the decision.
The other, entertained by the states
duly appointed referee and judges,
was that they could do their duty
only by declaring that the champion
had successfully defended his hon
Ors.
Since then four other viewpoints
have been added to the general con-
fusion caused by the light fantastic
performance within the ring. I list
them forthwith:

War May Soon Be Luxury

ONE good argument for peace is
~ that the rising costs of raw ma
terials are making war more ex-
pensive than ever. This was DEM
onstrated when London financial cir
Giles revealed that parliament will
be asked to vote supplementary
funds to carry out Great Britain's
armament program for the present
year. s-+
In February experts figured the
cost of ornaments at $500, 900, 900
over a fve-year period. Now it is
apparent that many more millions
will be required. The cost of anti
mony has increased from $685. to
$465 ton, copper from $265 to $275,
heavy scrap steel from $18.75 to
$3.50, tin from $1,135 to $l,295, and
zinc from sos to $115. Steel ship
plates year ago cost $46.75 ton;
now they are $57.

from the throne, and when it was
revealed that Nippon is preparing
more appropriations for her already
heavy war chest.
Hirota blamed the Chinese central
government for the present fighting
because it refuses to "co-operate"
with Japan in maintaining peace"
in eastern Asia. Japanese military
action against China, he said, was
taken to make impossible the re-
currence of the current hostilities.
Japan" he said, ''has no other OBJ
jective than to see happy and
tranquil North China and Sino-Jap-
anese relations so adjusted as to
enable us to put into practice our
policy -.
"Since China, ignoring our true
motive, modified her vast armies
against us, we can do no other than
to counter by force of arms"
The emperor, in addressing the
houses of parliament, greatly i'm
pressed his subjects with a review
of the war, arriving at much the
same conclusions as Hirota had.
The session of parliament was
called to consider the appropriation
of $500, 1000, 900 for the campaigns in
China, raising the total of the ma
tion's war chest to $751;, 100000.

Dainty Shoulder Straps.-When
making your indies try using mar
row velvet ribbon for the shoulder
straps. The velvet side next to
the skin acts as a grip, while the
satin on top looks dainty. You
will find that ribbon-velvet straps
will outlast any garment.

Black Death in Shanghai

A S IF there were not horror
"A enough in Shanghai, the ill-fat-
ed city found itself face to face
with new peril-bubonic plague.
The outbreak of the disease, first
discovered in the French conces-
sion, where most of the American
population lives, was traced in large
part to the sanitary difficulties in
removing the bodies of Hongkew ci-
villains killed by bombings, artillery
Smelling and machine-gun fire.
Sanitary officers in the concession
and the international settlement
fought franctically to check the
spread of the dread cholera. They
were hampered by Japanese mill
tary forces which insisted upon
keeping closed areas where there
still remained bodies to be buried.
Admiral Harry Yarnell, COM
mander of the United States Ash
attic fleet, cancelled all shore leaves
for sailors and ordered Chinese
hands off American ships. With the
port of Shanghai closed to Ameri-
can shipping other than warships,
because of the ever-increasing dan
ger of bombs and artillery fire, 500
Americans who had intended to
leave on the next liners out of port
were stranded, making a total of
1000 American inhabitants who re-
manned exposed to the double dam
gers of warfare and cholera.
Evacuation of Americans from
Shanghai was difficult with the ban
on shipping. Warships appeared the
logical means of rescue, but there
were few in the Shanghai area cap
able of taking aboard large loads
of passengers. Accordingly, cruis-
er squadron of six ships was being
prepared to leave the United States,
steam to Shanghai and remove
those stranded there.
The Japanese embassy warned
foreign nations that they had better
advise the Japanese navy of move
ments of ships into the vast block
AIDED area, lest these be mistaken
for Chinese supply ships. The en-
bassy intimated that cargoes of am
munition and military supplies
might be denied admittance and adj
vised foreign ships that it might be
a good idea to permit japanese au-
thorities to inspect their cargoes
before entering the blockade.

Opposition Surprises Nippon

IMPOSITION CuTPTiSSS iNiHHo"
JAPANESE naval guns and bomb
- ers carried the war 600 miles
south of Shanghai when they at
tackled the port of Annoy, which
houses a huge Chinese fort and ar
senal, opposite the island of For
mosa. Their bombs carried little
effect and the shore artillery chased
the warships, completely disabling
one. The battle was but thirty miles
from Hong Kong, recently ravlshed
by a typhoon.
Elsewhere along the far-fiung
front the Japanese were meeting
with opposition the caliber of which
they had not expected. Along the
Woesung front, 10000 Chinese, in
GLIDING crack German-trained dlvl-
sions, were successful in holding
back $4,000 Japanese; it was said
to be the severest opposition the
Japs have met since they fought
Russia in 1904. i
Japanese aerial commandments
continued in the Chapel, Kiangwan,
Taichong and Yanchong districts OF
Shanghai. The continued peril OF
the international settlement and the
French concession spurred the
American, British and French con-
suls to demand of both the Japanese
and Chinese that their forces be
withdrawn from that vicinity.
Scores of noncombatants were daily
being killed and wounded there by
falling bombs and shells.
But Japan's long-awaited "big
push had not yet materialized. 1t
was believed large reinforcements
were being awaited. The Chinese
man power was beginning to tell
against the inferior numbers of the
Japanese.
Only in the northern province of
Chahar did the Japanese make real
progress. There they captured the
capital city of Kalgan. A commits
sion of 100 prominent" Mongols
and Chinese (many of them known
to be associated with the Japanese
army was setting up a new "pop-
ular" autonomous government I'M
der Japanese control. The Chinese
soldiers driven out of Chahar were
reported concentrating in Shansi
province, to the south. .E.

EVCH WUTSC tldH q
baldheaded space filler who thought
he could do the job in five rounds.
v. p. N-The sum-it-all-up idea
that the thing would be made to
order for reviving Britain's falter-
ing boxing industry if re-enacted in
London next winter.
v. P. ID can be disposed of
summarily. 1t was by no means
great fight or even a good one. Even
the Baer-Braddock waltz, previously
held up as horrible example when
mention was being made of heavy
weight championship fioperroos,
was a bargain in comparison to it.
No more than 10 mildly authorita-
tive blows were struck within the
course of the Is rounds.
v. P. (2) is not to be given the air
so easily. Farr, as was known in
advance, is mainly a young man
composed of elbows, cunning and
heart. He used all three of them
effectively. That his performance
against the champion was by no
means equal to that of the Schmel-
ing who knocked out Louis or the
Pastor who provided a boxing les
son cannot be held against him.
Neither can the point score which
shows that Referee Donovan gave
him only one round out of the Is
and called only one other even.
Then what? Well, for instance, let
us go into v. p. (3) which deals
with the Louis situation.
Joe won eight rounds out of the
fifteen on the Bradley score card.
They were rounds two, three, four,
Eve, seven, twelve, thirteen, four
teen. He was given the advantage
Of the doubt in the second and
twelfth rounds which were slow, dull
and unsullied by blows of any sig
nificance. He was backing up, look
ing puzzled and fighting only in fur
ries in the fifteenth which went to
Farr as did six others.
Something-perhaps too much
success, perhaps vain efforts to
make a boxer out Of him-has
changed the giant once known as
the Brown Bomber.
