NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

Figures matter so little, anyhow;
the fact remains that you cannot
carry on a civil war as ruthless as
that of SPANS without mourning ire
mendous losses of human lives.
There is no indication that efforts
to strengthen and enforce neutrality
on the part of outside powers are
being strenuously made. The Span
ish civil war goes on-aS 1t has gone
on for more than eleven months.
At this moment it again looks as
though the rebels have the upper
hand, and they are, actually, masters
of the greater part of the country.
But-Madrid has not yet fallen, and
there are no signs that it will sue
cumb.
Hitler and Mussolini.
A few years ago the world was
agog with expectation: Adolf Hitler,
chief executive of the German gov
eminent, called on Prime Minister
Benito Mussolini, dictator of Italy
as Hitler is dictator of Germany. Two
kindred spirits met, and-nothing
happened! That was the conclusion
for some time afterward, but it may
be pointed out, nevertheless, that the
relations between Germany and Aus
tria improved perceptibly during the
following months. Mussolini may
have whispered some friendly threat
into the ears of Herr Hitler-and he
took the hint, for since then there
have been no serious indications of
unrest in connection with Germany's
admitted wish to consolidate with
Austria.
Early this summer it was rumored
that Mussolini planned to return the
visit, and few days ago somewhat
definite word came from Rome that
the dictator plans to go to Berlin
during the latter part of this month.
If this journey becomes fact, it will
be of particular interest because it
will be the first time since he be-
came Italy's prime minister that Mus
solini ventures abroad.
Much to Discuss.
The two gentlemen, credited by
many with holding the fate of Eu-
rope in their hands, have much to
talk about; one may surmise, with
plenty of reason, that an outstanding
subject will be the Spanish civil war
in which they are deeply interested
since they want to see fascism
strengthened by rebel victory. They
may also drift to questions of Ger
many's lost African colonies as well
as to the Sino-Japanese war-a little
bit beyond the immediate horizon of
Italy but quite close to Germany since
that country last year signed friend
ship treaty with Japan.
Whatever Mussolini will say to
Hitler-and vice versa-one may rest
assured that the public of their re-
spective countries-and all other
countries be kept in darkness
as to details. With dictators, words
mean so little. Action is all.

Ladies' Aid rs Years Old.

There was a good attendance in
the village park Sunday when the
Danish Ladies' Aid celebrated its 25th
anniversary. Songs were sung by
the entire audience and the Askov
Band contributed several numbers to
the enjoyment of all. One of the big
features on the days program was
the reading of paper by Mrs. H. c.
Strandskov who was an Askov resi-
dent Is years ago and took a leading
part in creating the society.
Mrs. MAIDS Nielsen read some of
the original minutes of the organiZa-
ton and Rev. jobs. Knudsen spoke.
Coffee and lunch was enjoyed and the
balance of the afternoon spent in
social visiting, where the converse
ton naturally drifted back to the
days gone by.
The Danish Ladies' Aid has been
an important cog in the wheel of this
community's history; it has sponsored
many worthwhile entertainments
been a constant help to the church
financially and otherwise. 1t holds
meetings regularly once month; the
business part of the meeting is short
but good lectures or readings can al
ways be heard there, as well as sing
ing.
The American joins with many 9TH
ers in congratulating the organization
on its 25th anniversary, and extends
best wishes for long and active
future.

FLOOR IN THE WORLD
Will Have Ample Capacity to
Continue company's Rapid
Rate of Expansion

According to- a statement Just
released by Commander E.. F. Nc,
Donald, Jr., president Of Zenith
Radio Corporation, the company
will within a few days occupy its
new factory at COOL Dickens ave-
nue. in the northwest. section. OF
Chicago. Machinery is now being
moved into the buildings, prepara-
tory to starting manufacture.
Hugh Robertson, vice president
and treasurer, in charge Of pre-
pairing the company's new home
for occupancy, describes the new
plant as the largest radio manu-
factory on one floor in the world,
capable of producing 10000 radio
sets every eight hours or nearly
% radios a minute.
Buildings are brick and concrete
extending four city blocks along
Dickens avenue. The new factory
is well ventilated and lighted.
The company will fabricate its
own steel into chassis frames and
various other metal parts for
home, farm, boat, trailer and auto
mobile radios. A special section is
set aside for automotive radio en-
gineering, design and manufac-
turing, a division of the company's

F. R. Says George
Kansas Orator Predicts
Barkley Successor
To Roosevelt

President Roosevelt's support in
Kansas is shifting from the riff
raft element" to the well-to-do
farmers, Bob George, Lebo, Kan,
farmer, who spoke in Nogales last
year as a campaign speaker for the
Democratic National committee,
said.
Mr.. George is visiting friends in
Arizona en- route to California on a
vacation trip.
"If President Roosevelt should de-
eide to run for third term, he
would carry Kansas by 100000
votes" Mr.. George said.
The Democratic national admin
istration carried Kansas by $4,000
votes in the 1886 election.
For the first time, members of
the farmers union and the farm
bureau are supporting him. How
ever, the riff-raff, by that I mean
the farm 1aborers, are bitterly
against him because they have been
forced to leave Works Progress Ac-:
ministration- jobs and go to work
on FARMS ~.
''Mr. George said he did not
believe the President would
seek third term, however,
and picked Sen. Alben w. Bark
ley, Kentucky, as the next pre-
sidential candidate.
Senator Barkley will either prove
himself as the man capable of STEP
ping into the Presidents shoes or
not during the coming special ses-
sion of congress-" Mr.. George said.

At the present time there are 666

Red Cross Observes
Nursing Anniversary
1887 Marks 25th Year Of
Public Health Nursing In
Rural Areas

"Prior to inauguration of the Red
Cross Town and Country nursing
service in 1912. no national effort
, was made to bring nursing skill to
the rural sickbed." James L. Fieser.
vice chairman in charge of domestic
operations for the American Red
Cross. said today in commenting on
the silver anniversary Of Red Cross
public health nursing.
! In plea for an increased mem.
bership during the coming Red Cross

Der llth to the 25th. Mr.. Fieser
pointed out that Red Cross rural
nursing rounds out rs years OF con-
tinuous service this year 1T Is

which the American people support
through membership" he said.
In 1910 Lillian Wald. then head
resident of the Henry Street Settle
ment in New York City. proposed
that the American he'd Cross pio.
neer in the field Of rural nursing.
Public health nurses were active in
urban districts but no similar pro-
vision had been made to guard the
health Of the rural dweller. Miss
Wald felt that the Red Cross was
best qualified for the undertaking
through it's long experience in con-
verting humanitarian ideals into
practical accomplishment.
