London Getting Ready
for the Coronation

Z ROM all quarters of the earth
men and women of much, little
or no importance were f1ocking to
London for the coronation; the dip
lomats were trying on their new
knee breeches; the peeresses were
buying wigs to make their coronets
fit more comfortably; the officials,
troops and horses were being re-
hearsed in their parts; the proprie-
tors of parade seats were desper-
ately trying to dispose of them at
cut prices; and hotel managers and
tradesmen of all sorts were prepar-
ing to make lots of money out of
this thoroughly commercialized af-
fair. It was said by steamship Of
fcials in New York that hundreds
of Americans booked for the coro-
nation had cancelled their passages,
but despite this it was certain Lon
don would be thronged with visitors.
One most disturbing feature was
the strike of the London busmen. 1t
disrupted traffic just when the city
was filling up with visitors, and
those persons as well as hundreds
of thousands of residents of the city
and its suburbs were compelled to
get about as best they could.

Basques and Rebels Fight
Fiercelv Near Bilbao

COME of the most desperate fight
y ing of the Spanish civil war was
taking place in the struggle for Bill
bao between the sturdy Basques and
Gen. Emilio Mola's veterans, reput-
eddy mostly Italians and Germans.
The insurgents had promised not
to bomb the center of the city but
bombarded it's environs heavily
from the land and the air. BY fierce
attacks they broke through the
Basque lines on the Bay of Biscay
coast, reaching Bilbao's seaports at
the mouth of the Nervion river.
Disregarding the protests of Gen.
eral Franco, Fascist chieftain, the
British and French governments
undertook to remove from Bilbao
a large number of women and chill
dren. These refugees were taken
away by merchant vessels while
British warships guarded outside
Spanish waters. Franco maintained
Bilbao was a military objective
and that neutral nations had no
right to evacuate the civil popula-
ton as this would lift burden from
the Basques and permit them to
concentrate on the defense of the
city.

House Majority Refuses
to Practice Economy

w HILE Democratic leaders in
w congress were disputing over
various proposals for achieving the
economy demanded by the Presi-
dent, the house without a CULVER
passed the second deficiency bill,
carrying $40, 100000. The Demo
Gratis called it an economy measure
because the appropriations were 10
millions less than the amounts
asked by the department heads. But
Is of those 10 millions represented
merely reduction in the 80 million
appropriation asked by the bureau
of internal revenue for the refund
ing of processing taxes collected I'M
der the agricultural adjustment act.
The saving, it was pointed out, was
more a deferred economy" in that
the Is millions will be included in
the next budget.

War Department Bill Is

D ESISTING all efforts of the
IN would-be economists, the major

Cattle Tick Fever
Nearly Wiped Out
in United States

Washington.-The areas un-
der federal quarantine against
cattle tick fever in the South
have just reduced by 28,15O
square miles, eliminating all
remaining quarantined parishes
in Louisiana and leaving under
the ban three small blocks in
Florida and two larger groups
of counties on the eastern and
southwestern boundaries of
Texas. Total wiping out of the
disease in the United States is
in sight.
Cattle tick fever is classic in
the annals of bacteriology and medi-
cine because it was the first dis
ease proved to be carried by an
insect-or more strictly, in this par
ticular case, a tick; for ticks
are not insects. 1t was in the eight
een-nineties that the late DR.. Theo-
bald Smith, then of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
followed "blind bunch" supplied
by Texas stockmen and proved sci
entifcally that ticks are the car
rfers of this disease. Later, it was
found that insects as well as other
species of ticks are responsible for
the spread of many diseases af-
flictfng both human beings and ami
mails.
Dipping and Quarantine.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, with the strong coop
GRAFTON of the states concerned, I'M
dertook to eradicate this costly
malady of cattle. Two principal
means are employed: dipping the
cattle in tick-killing baths and
forbidding shipment of animals that
might be harboring ticks into dis
eaSe-free areas.
How effective this campaign has
been is told by a glance at the De-
partment of Agriculture's ''tick
map. On July 1, 1906, when the
work was first taken in hand, the
cattle tick fever area included prac-
tically the whole South, plus the
southern half of CALIFORNIA; total
of 728,565 square miles. The areas
left under quarantine now add up
to only 1851 square miles, not
much more than the single state of
South Carolina.

Supreme court reformation. But
President Roosevelt was gaily sail

his vessel was escorted by three de-
stroyers, the Moffett, the Schenk

rotary Marvin Mcintyre set up a
temporary White House, and Mr..

however, is not the case. Thus mine
owners pretty generally, would pre-
fer taking their chances in open
competition because they can make
larger profit through heavy vol
ume of sales at lower prices than
under the new scheme whereby the
high cost mines are bound to get
a share of the business.
Proponents of the law contend that
there is an obligation to the owners
OF the high cost mine or to the
workers they employ. But what, I
ask, IS the user of coal going to do
about it? What has he to say and
how can he say it?
Again, sponsors of the legislation
explain that interests of the con-
Stunning public are to be protected
through the office of a consumers
council. That is, there is a govern
ment official who is supposed to look
after and protect your rights and
mine against excessive prices. It
may work out satisfactorily. I be-
ieve, however, that the odds are
heavy against any of us receiving
any benefits in this direction. The
office of consumers council existed
in the old NRA and it existed in
the agricultural adjustment admin
istration-and was a net loss in each
instance. I never have seen any re-
suits accrue except in the form of
salaries to a flock of payrollers
making up the staff of the consum-
ers' council.
