How Often Should Your
Furniture Be Polished Z

Housewives differ on the ques-
ton of when to polish their furni-
ture." Some have no set time for
it-polishing when they think of it
or when, casting glance about,
they decide that the furniture can
"stand it." Others, polish every
cleaning day-which ordinarily
occurs once a week. Others dedi-
cate but one day a year to this
important procedure. And still
others, polish the furniture In
their home regularly, once a
month. This last group is the
largest-but their schedule is not
sufficiently frequent. Furniture
can not be polished too often!
True, the outward benefit of the
best oil polish-the luster-will
last through a single week-and
more-but this same polish, with
its light oil base, preserves and
feeds" the furniture, revives it,
prolongs its life! So that every
application is highly beneficial to
woodwork and the various pieces
of fine wood in the home. Our
advice, therefore, for the sake of
endurance, as well as appear
ance, of your furniture, is polish
up" with good oil polish at least
twice a month!

France in TIGHT Place

X FRANCE, it was expected, would
adopt a course parallel with that
of Britain, for, as Foreign Minister
Delbos said, she might otherwise
find herself isolated in Europe. How
ever Premier Chautemps served no.
tice on Chamberlain that the French
would join in the proposed four
power pact only if protection were
assured for Czechoslovakia and
Austria. The French secret defense
committee met to organize an
arms expansion program involving
1855, 100000 and to lay plans for de-
Tending the Czechs against German
aggression.
Chautemps and Foreign Minister
Delbos told the chamber of depu-
ties the government intended to
seek peaceful settlement with Italy
and Germany, but that France
would not permit the installation of
any hegemony in central Europe"
and would fulfill her engagements
with the countries of the little en-
tente.
Thereupon the chamber Endorsed
this policy of the government by a
vote of 439 to 2.

May Cut Farm Subsidies

FARMERS who harvest more
than their allotted acreage of ma
jor crops face drastic deductions in
their federal subsidy payments un-
der the new farm program.
The agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration announced detailed
regulations governing payment of
benefits from the 500 million dollars
congress is authorized to appropri-
ate for financing the new crop con-
troll law.
Crops affected include cotton,
corn, wheat, tobacco, rice, potatoes
and others designated officially as
"soil depicting"
In announcing the regulations, J.
B.. Hutson, assistant AAA admins
traitor, said the subsidy or soil con-
servation phase of the farm pro-
gram was designed to do more than
improve and maintain soil fertility.
He said it will tend to keep produc-
ton in line with crop requirements.

Three Taken as Spies


GOVERNMENT agents and New
~ York police broke up ring of
spies engaged in selling secrets OF
the American army and navy to a
European nation described as a
world power but otherwise not
named. Three alleged members OF
the ring were under arrest and held
in heavy bail. Two of them, for
mer sergeant in the United States
army and a private in the army,
were said to have confessed. The
third was German girl, hairdresser
on the German liner Europa. The
Omen were diligently searching for
other members of the band.
Guenther Gustav Rumrich, the
ex-sergeant, who is deserter, said
he was engaged in obtaining secrets
and information concerning military
operations of the United States
army and was forwarding it
through confidential channels to va
rious addresses in Europe.
Erich Chaser, the private, had
been stationed at Mitchell Field,
New York, the largest army air
base on the East coast and key to
the air Notifications of the metropol-
itan area. He supplied certain air
corps codes to Rumrich.
Johanna Holman, the woman ar
rested, admitted she was the 'iason
officer and paymaster" between the
ring and its employers. Secret code
keys and considerable quantities of
money were found on her person.
So far as investigators have been
able to learn Rumrich sold the for
eign power a gold brick. He never
transmitted any information that
could not be found in the army and
navy journal, a publication obtain
able by any one.
However, army officials consid-
cred the matter of considerable i'm
portance and armed guards were
placed around military centers
along the Atlantic seaboard. At
Mitchell Field especial protection
was given the hangar housing a
bomber used for testing one of the
air corps most precious secrets, a
bomb sight capable of aiming
heavy air projectiles with great &C
curacy.

Austrian Nazis Checked

CHANCELLOR SCHUSCHNIGG
~ evidently is determined not to let
Hitler go too far in Austria. He is
sternly suppressing all illegal Nazi
activities, and is using the army in
doing so. In the Nazi province of
Syria thousands of peasants
planned to march on Graz and
Nazis intended to occupy the gov
eminent buildings. So the chancel-
lor sent motorized units from the
Vienna garrison to guard all APP
proaches to the city, and airplanes
secuted about looking for the ex-
pected marching columns. This
prompt action prevented the threat
ened uprising and not a shot was
fired.

The earl of Perth, British ambas-
sador to Rome, had conversations
with Italian Foreign Minister Ciano
and was then called to London for
further instructions. It was said
Perth and Ciano agreed the follow

possible, made part of the Lon

Britain must recognize the Italian
conquest of Ethiopia.
An Anglo-Italian Mediterranean
pact should be arranged to include
Italian naval parity with Britain in
the Mediterranean, reduction in It
aly's troops in Libya, and British
assurances that the Suez canal will
be safeguarded against closing or
air attack.
Immediate cessation of anti-Ital-
ian propaganda in the British terri
tories in the Near East in return for
which Italy will guarantee not to in
clude anti-British propaganda in its
Bari radio broadcasts.
Withdrawal of foreign "volun-
teers" from Spain was to be de-
manded by Britain, and it was I'M
derstood in London that Chancellor
Hitler of Germany had agreed to
that, and that Italy would not re-
fuse, although Mussolini especially
wishes that Franco be granted bel

Synthetic wool made from milk is

In 1886 the total output was "a tons !;
in 1887, more than 800 tons. The
product is made from casein, the
part of milk that is the chief con-

inally intended as part of Italy's
campaign to cut down imports, the
growth of the Lanital industry has
already resulted in the placing OF
orders for casein from other lands.
