King Georges
Speech Quoted

LONDON, Sept. 4. (UP)-Text Of
King Georges broadcast to the
British empire:
''In this grave hour perhaps the
most fateful in our history, I send
to every household of my people
both at home and overseas, this
message spoken with the same
depth of feeling for each one Of
you as if I were able to cross your
threshold and speak to you myself.
For the second time in the lives
of most of us we are at war. Over
and over again we tried to find
a peaceful way out of differences
between ourselves and those who
now are our enemies.
But it has been in vain. We have
been forced into conflict. For we
are called with our allies to meet
the challenge of a principle which
if it were to prevail would be fatal
to any civilized order in the world.
II ID lilc PIiIiClplc WHICH, pcIIlllS
a state in the selfish pursuit of
power to disregard its treaties and its
solemn pledges; which sanctions the

tive doctrine that might Is right

YOU CAN HELP

European events are changing rapidly
What the situation will be tomorrow is
unpredictable today No one can foresee
the future, whether fighting will cease
five minutes hence; or whether more
and more nations will enter the war
arena.
One thing, however, is certain. That
is, that if real war comes, YOU can keep
the United States out Of it.
American public opinion will decide
what American statesmen do or do not
do, and you as an integral part of such
public opinion, will help formulate it.
Your thoughts, your attitude, your con-
illusions form the most powerful force
in the United States today
During the early days of the World
War before the entrance of this country
into the conflict, we were able to keep
out of it because % President Wilson
and the national congress were doing ev
erything possible to remain aloof, and
CD American public opinion was against
entrance. After two and one-half years,
our entrance was possible only because
public opinion was rot strong enough
to INSIST that we keep out. In fact,
public opinion was heavily in favor of
entrance.
No president, no congress, no group
or groups of expert diplomats can keep
us out of war without the cooperation
of the vast maj jority of the 130 million
American citizens.
1t is not sufficient to merely echo the
phrase 1--WE don't want war" We must
have valid reasoning behind our attitude.
1t is advisable, therefore, that we ally
ourselves in the common cause of under
standing the forces and factors which
threaten our neutrality and security.

CHEAP AT PRICE

1t costs about s22000,000 a year to
run congress.
1t would be easy to make funny cracks
about that item, thoughtless little flip
jests about high-priced hot air, and the
like.
But such quips somehow aren't quite
as funny as they used to be. More and
more we can be glad even for congress
faults, for they are the faults of the
people.
Are congressman sometimes verbose
and windy? So are a lot of the people
Are congressman inconstant, shifting
often with the tide of today's affairs?
So, often, are the people. Are some of
them vain, and trivial, and not always
too acute? They are human traits, shar-
ed by great masses of the people.
Not all the money spent by govern
ment today, perhaps, represents dollars
worth for every dollar But congress?
When it speaks the voice is, for better
or worse, the peoples voice.
Suppose some dictator succeeded in
abolishing this voice of the people. They
would be glad to pay 22 times % million
dollars to get it back.

WONDER OF 1899
(Unon-T ribune)

(Unon-Tribune)
What is the greatest wonder of the
year?
1t is not discovery by which man may
harness the power of the sun or the waves
thus making it possible for man to use
that power for the benefit of all man
kind
1t is not the isolation of the germ of
infantile paralysis and the finding of
cure for this mysterious malady.
It is not the discovery of some means
to spread peace and happiness to the
inhabitants of war-torn China
1t is not the making of new airplane
that will carry passengers with the ut
most safety, at the rate of 400 miles an
hour or faster No. it is not that.
1t is not the devising of new system
of production and distribution by which
all men may have plenty of food.
1t is none of these things.
The real wonder of 1889 is that Adolf
Hitler of Germany should have been
able to get the power to throw the civil
lied world into such state of terror and
fear as it has been in for a year or more
that he should have been allowed to speak
for all the millions under his flag and
scorning peaceful settlement of the
nations problems, should virtually COM
NIT that nation to a war, which, even if
it were successful for his fatherland,
must certainly bring death to hundreds
of thousands of good Germans, wounds
and suffering to hundreds of thousands
more, very likely disastrous defeat for
his great nation, which ought to have been
happy and gay along with the other ma
tions of the earth
That is the great wonder Of 1889,

Willis Thornton's S Editorial on:
America Mobiles Her 30 OOOO 900

While 100000 soldiers of Europe
jockey nervously for position, await
ing the signal that will set them to
killing one another. a tremendous
mobilization is also going on in
America.
1t is the annual mobilization"
of 30,000000 school children, ready
to return to the classroom. OF
these, more than 2O,0OO,OOO are in
elementary grades. 6,500,000 will go
to high schools. Students in the
higher grades of education make
up the rest.
More than million teachers are
preparing to make up the work of
teaching them. Above eight billions
will go during the coming year to
the earring on of the work.
This is a tremendous effort, prob
ably not matched in any other
country or in any other time. On It
we pin our faith.
1t is mass education in a sense.
For we in the United States have
always staked everything on belief
in the people as whole We have
asked with Lincoln, why should
there not be a patient confidence
in the ultimate justice of the peo-
Pile? Is there any better or equal
hope in the world?"
We believe there is none. And
because we rely thus on the will of
the people, we have gone to great
pains to try to make sure that it
shall be an informed and an in
telligent will. Where else in the
world is there a fundamental char
ter for a great area that has in it

of it anyway.
The other group-'much larger
is composed of those who want
jobs and make every effort to get
them. who hate to be on relief and
will be off the minute it Is hu-
manly possible. Among them, says
this man, there is emerging a feel
ing which goes something like this:
After all, this depression has
been going on for long time, and
the New Deal has had plenty of
chance to do something about it,
1t hasn't done very well, because
we're still on relief and we're still
on relief because industry hasn't
got any jobs for us. Maybe we'd
be better off If the New Deal was
replaced by an administration which
would turn business loose and give
it chance to make jobs for U.s."
1t would be a mistake to say
that the working man in general
has lost his confidence in Roose-
welt. The confidence isn't as strong
as 1t was, probably, or as univer-
sal, but 1t still exists.

duStrial art school. Now was her
chance This was in November,
1887. She decided to make a pair
of gloves as a Christmas present
for her sister. She had never tried
to make gloves, SO she studied the
different styles of gloves in the
big stores. AS she studied. she
made a decision that changed the
course of her life. She decided to
study gloves and see if she couldn't
contribute something new to glove
making. A rather big order, WASH I
it! Gloves had been made for thou
sands of years. The last radical
change in glove construction had
been by a glove-maker in Grenoble
France, 1O4 years ago. And here
was a girl setting out to do some
thing new.
She studied not only leather and
glove-making. but hands. She went
to the museums and studied plaster
casts of hands, and then she made
a pair of gloves that were different
from all others in particular. Her
gloves actually fitted her hands.
She had discovered that a glove
would fit better if the top of the
fingers were longer than the under
meath piece. Simple? OF course
it was, but that idea had never
been put to work before in all the
history Of gloye-making.
The gloves were original, the
change in construction was strik-
ing She went to lawyer and ap-
piled for design" patent and got
i'll She had some new kind of
notches in her gloves, and even
those were patented
Her next step was to go TO glove
manufacturer. He said the gloves
were impractical; that there were
no dies for making gloves like that.
Besides he was making money on
gloves made by the dies he already
had. She said she would make
the dies; and putting on goggles,
that the hot steel would not injure
her eyes, she superintended the job.
The first pair of gloves made, she
took them TO Saks-Fifth-Avenue
Store, New York, and landed an
order in thirty minutes. Not only
an order but the store wanted the
exclusive right for thirty days. 1t
got it.
orders poured in from other
stores. Her Finger free" gloves
became a sensation; they swept
the country. Stores in Paris.
France, ordered gloves by this
girl from Oklahoma Today if you
go down to the swanky Rue de
la PaiX, in Paris, you will find
her gloves in the windows of the
ritzy stores. And every single pair
of those gloves pays her a royal
