AVOIDANCE OF WAR
IS i. S. DUTY, SAYS
| NORMAN THOMAS
Town Hall Lecture Receives
Vigorous Applause From
Big Audience.
CALLS FOR SUPPORT
OF WAR REFERENDUM
Condemns Navy Bill and Predicts
Third New Deal if War
Breaks Out.

The first duty Of the American
people is to stay out Of war, Norman
Thomas, three times the Socialist can
didate for the presidency, told Wig
orously applauding audience which
packed the Rialto Theater last night
to hear his Town Hall lecture.
Mr.. Thomas called for support Of
the Ludlow war referendum resolu-
ton, condemning the administrator
naval building program, and remarked
that If war did come, President Rooee-
welt probably would be returned for a
third term.
But I don't say the President is
seeking war or a third term" Mr..
Thomas said. Il don't know"
The defeat of the Ludlow resolution.
which would have paved the way for
constitutional amendment requiring
a national vote of the people on the
question of whether we want to 60 to
war, was attributable to the admins
trations patronage pressure, Mr..
Thomas said.
Keeping Out 70 Be Difficult.
He added:
Il am aware that if there Is a new
war involving all the principal nations,
it will be exceedingly difficult for the
United States to keep out. Neutrality
must be planned with a view to sub
stitutes for war trade that will be
lost and especially to the accumulation
Of certain raw materials.
That planning will involve further
extension of social control, but nothing
like the extension of 1t instantly de-
manded by war. Moreover, the extent
of world war which would require that
planning is not yet actually upon us
and might conceivably be held off
should the United States itself refrain
from helping to precipitate it, let us
say in the Far East.
ultimately, Of course, as I have
argued thousand times, the price
of sure and lasting peace is new
society. 1t is a federation of CO.
operative commonwealths organized
under new loyalties and institutions
other than those of capitalist nation
aliSm.
Wants War Under No Pretext.
THE opportunities We have lost in
the decades that have gone certainly
increase the present difficulty Of work
ing toward that end. 1t is an end
always to be kept in sight, and We
should take every possible opportunity
to cooperate for peace while maintain
ing the maximum possible isolation
from war;
Mr.. Thomas said he wanted houses,
not battleships, and a battle against
unemployment. want war under no
preteXt."
He announced the organization Of
the Keep America Out of War Com
mittee," which, he said, will soon be
| actively performing to make this
country anti-war.
Mr.. Thomas was questioned by the
members of the panel, which included
| Representative Randolph, Democrat.
of West Virginia; Representative Hull,
Progressive, of Wisconsin and Frank
lyn Waltman, political writer for the
Washington Post. DR.. John w. Stude-
baker, United States commissioner of

allow the last of 80 witnesses to testify
before adjournment.
Testimony was not completed until

started at 1870 am Friday, to run
into the third day.

the fatal shots.
Not Placed on Stand Again.
The officer was not placed on the
witness stand second time, his at
torney, James A. O'Shea, announcing
he would abide by his first testimony.
Probably the outstanding witness on
the closing day of testimony was Capt.
Harvey G. Callahan, No. / precinct
commander and expert on the use of
tear gas, who gave the opinion this
medium would have been futile against
Keys.
Civic and veteran groups have pro-
tested the shooting as unwarranted,
declaring less drastic measures could
have been taken to subdue Keys.

Worlds Oldest CITY

History and archaeology agree that
the first cities or towns were built
by the Sumerians in the Tigris-Eu-
pirates valley perhaps as early as
4500 B. c. Towns and villages stand
ON some of these sites, but none
can be pointed out as existing con-
tinuously. Damascus, on an oasis
in Syria. has the general reputation
of being the worlds oldest city In
continuous existence. It is men,
toned in Genesis as already being
q town in the days of Abraham,
probably 1000 B. c. A reasonably
good case can be made out for Cairo
as the site of city or town for
more than 2.400 years. but it is not
certain that small breaks in the con-
tinuity did not occur. On the edge
Of Cairo are the ruins Of Heliopolis,
founded some 5000 years before
Christ. It had a continuous run I'M
til Roman times. but finally fell into
ruin.

represented King Edgar trampling
on seven kings. Those ponderous
figures were discontinued in, the
British navy by order of the adj

older frigates in the United States
navy had handsomely carved fig

Egg-Laying Devices in Insects

Ingenious and protective egg-lay-
ing devices in insects result from
the driving force of organic life, re-
tention of the species by propaga-
ton. The young are usually born
after the mother has died or dis
appeared. But she provides for the
first meal of the insect when she
lays its egg, protects the egg itself
from weather, water and other in
sects. The female of the foliage
grasshopper, of the family Decticus
verruciverus L., has a long sword
shaped laying tube by which it
pierces the ground to leave its eggs.
Many grasshoppers sheath their
eggs in a frothy mass which comes
from the intestines and hardens in
the air. Sometimes the froth egg
packet is attached to a stone; oc-
casionally it is carefully placed in
broken-off raspberry stalks in such
manner that the froth has the
appearance of the pith of the stalk.

Sails of Windmills Gave
Measures to Smugglers


The sails of windmill, according
to the way they are set, serve as
q zsemaphore, and have message
for those who can read their signs,
according to a writer in the
Montreal Herald.
In the days of smuggling, millers
whose mills were near the coast
were sometimes in league with the
smugglers, who could conveniently
store their kegs of struggled. brandy,
their tobacco, tea or silks among
the sacks of -four at the mills. The
miller could always give them a
signal as to when there was danger
in the shape of an excise officer
prowling about, or when the coast
was clear. 20
The danger. signal was given by
setting the sails in the position of a
st. Georges cross thes upright
cross). "All clear" was signaled
by placing the sails to form st.
Andrews cross-like an x.
The upright position is sign Of
mourning at the mill, or of any
other trouble. 1t may also mean, if
adopted for few minutes only. that
the miller is about to grind.
When you find a mills sails set
as a St. Andrews cross, you know
that the miller has finished his work,
or is taking a holiday. The sails
of old mills which are no longer
working are always found in this
position.

Wars Easily Settled in
DAYS of King Louis Xl

History proves that even in cen
turtles gone by they had sensible
ideas about settling wars, and an
historian discovered how King Louis.
XI, in 1883, put an end to the Hun
dred Years war;
He asked the king of England to
come over for a talk at Arniens,
promising that the royal visitor and
his encourage would be treated as
honored guests. And they were, ac-
cording to writer in Pearson's
London Weekly.
AS soon as the English arrived
(the king took the precaution of
bringing his own army with hirn)
all were invited to huge open-air
picnic. Three hundred carts of wine
drove up and the tables were lavish
ly piled with cooked meats. By
the time the party had been going
on for few days no one could see
the least sense in continuing the
war.
Thanks to these proceedings"
the ancient chronicler of the Amiens
conference drily records, ''negotia-
tons were rendered easy and
speedy" A seven years truce was
signed, and the armies went home,
to fight no more.
The spirit of peace, in fact, was
so much in the air that the English
king obtained large sum to cover
his expenses entailed in attending
the conference.

Long for Loneliness

Norwegian girls who have, once
lived on a ''saeter," or mountain
pasture with its buildings, begin to
long for the lonely life there as
soon as spring arrives and will
sometimes become i'll if they are
not allowed to go. Usually the old
est daughter of the family is put in
charge of the saeter, where she
takes care of the family cattle and
sheep during the brilliant days of
the Norwegian summer. Cattle, too,
sometimes long for the saeter and
if they are not well looked after
rush away for it as soon as they
are out of winter quarters.

Spring Cleaning
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

Oh, how used to hate spring cleaning when a boy,
thought my mother just took out all the joy
Of the time of year when could see
Budding flowers and birds resting in the trees
/ often wondered why it should be-
That home had to be asunder like limbs from tree
So every six months, from top to bottom,
My mother moved everything to be dirt free.
Mothers know best how home should be kept
Even though knew it had been regularly swept
For the cleaning done from week to week.
But so different from the spring cleaning streak.
Now appreciate all the work she has done,
To make realize that there's nothing under the sum-
Than dirt which has accumulated for spell,
Indicates the individual hasn't remembered very we'll
