very little to it, instead of cutting
it down. He gave her a complete

heavy eyelashes at the ends of her

badly that it had to be stitched UP.

Nazi Raids On Shipping
Hampering Delivery Of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-0R-A
department report disclos-
ed today that aircraft exports de'
clined last month as compared WIFI
0ctober.s and informed sources ex'
n1ained that Nazi raids on shipping
were hampering delivery of Amerl-
can warplanes to England.
The report said all exports of air
craft and parts in November were
valued at $26,73S 1000, compared with
ss1. 1885,, 900 the month previous. The
bulk in both months went to Great
Britain.
Persons in close touch with air
craft exports said a scarcity of ship
nine bottoms was a major explana'
ton of the decline. They pointed
to the toll of shipping taken by MAJ
submarines.
President Roosevelt said at his
conference meanwhile that serious
consideration was being given a pro
posal put forward by the CLIO that
the motor car industry be converted
into warplane manufacture with the
aim of turning out 500 planes a
day.

BY STEPHEN ]. McDONOUGH
Associated Press Science Writer

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. a.
"A physician, an economist and
a botanist joined today in an ap-
peal for a readjustment of Ameri-
can life in the present world crisis.
Visualizing the possibility of the
western hemisphere existing IN
partial isolation from Europe and
Aisa, the three scientists warned
in reports before the annual meet
ing of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
that great social an deconomic
changes already are under way.
DR.. j. Russell Smith, of Column
bia university, pointed out that the
United States, faced with a fumda-
mental problem of growing more
than its people can eat. is rapidly
bleeding farm soil to produce such
SURPRISES.
With European markets gone
and Asiatic markets vanishing, a
vital readjustment of American
farming practices is inevitable, he
declared, particularly since 1.-The
present soil destruction" by inten-
sive growing of cotton, corn, wheat
and tobacco will soon wipe out
the major part of the resources of
the United States"
Surveys made by the soil con-
s~ervation service show that with
in a generation we in the United
States have destroyed by erosion
more good crop land than Japan
is now using to support an empire
which is menacing the world"
If this waste is not stopped, DR..
Smith added, it will reduce the
United States within another few
generations "to a second rate
power, a nation of poor people,"

COURT REPORTER
Decision In the Strange Case of
THE SINISTER SANTA CLAUS"

CONTINUED From Page Eight
Bull" Nelson, e~x-wrestler ,Kdown
and outer, the man who was driven
to the depths of a desperate on
Christmas Eve, was found GUILTY
in the lower court, which decision
was affirmed in the California
Supreme Court.
One of the odd angles to this case
was the fact that while Nelson was
guilty of what is usually called
robbery or hold up, he actually was
guilty of a crime that he did not
know he had committed.
Nelson was really tried under the
law governing kidnapping. The
California Legislature passed an
act to amend this law, so that the
penalty for "seizing or OBTAINING
one for extortion and inflicting
upon the victim any degree Of
bodily HARM" might be death or
life Imprisonment. This is exactly
the crime that Bull" Nelson COM
mitted unwittingly.
Nelson's counsel challenged and
criticized the legislature for passing
this death penalty clause, but the
court, said: The fixing of penalties
for crimes is a legislative function
and in passing this act, that body
acted in response to the will of the
people. The judgment of the lower
court, appealed to this court, is
hereby affirmed"
This is taken from a true case.
