Little girls play ing their Cher French inno- their little dog, hardly knowing that such things Arthur Brisbane when much old er than Assistant Secretary Tug- well’'s intelligent young daughter, Marcia, aged twelve, who, in part- nership with her friends, Mary Frances Cottrell and Joyce Hel- mick, organized “a laundry for washing dogs.” They advertised: “Small dogs, 30 cents; middle-sized dogs, 35 cents; groomed and washed. Dogs not good-natured must be sent with muzzles, and we cannot wash large dogs.” Too bad that parental severity broke up the dog laundry. It had announced working hours ‘“10 a. m. to 5 p. m. on Saturdays,” the stu- dious little girls’ only holiday, “all hours after school on other week- days.” What a good example for govern- ment enterprises: the little girls really meant to work to ‘groom and wash” the dogs, not merely stand around and collect the 30 cents. Plucky little Holland and her wise queen seem to have decided that the 1914 ‘“‘war to end all wars” did not finish its job. Holland went through the big war safely, selling butter, cheese, eggs, not disturbed, not making any bad $10,000,000,000 loans. Now Holland is buying 13 heavy bombing planes in Baltimore, spending $1,500,000 for the 13, and spending many other millions for other killing machinery. That means work and wages in Baltimore; it may mean poison gas and death for some of Holland's neighbors. Foreign countries read every- thing said about them in America: not that foreign countries care what Americans think, or attach importance to American opinion, as such; but America has money, raw products, and governments that are sometimes whimsical, changeable and boyish. Europe, Asia and Africa watch with equal interest statements of Americans that count ahd more numerous Americans that float like feathers in the air. One simple - minded Russian pointed with pride to the statement of a clergyman in our Union The- ological seminary. That gentleman, Rev. Charles C. Webber, has a plan for a better government, not based on the text about rendering unto Caessr that which is Caesar's. The big idea is to take away what is Caesar's. Eight hundred young were told by Reverend Webber: “God, who is not content with things as they are, is a revolution ary Being, constantly seeking to make all things new.” Rev. Webber, “recognizing this,” about God being a revolutionist, ished. Rev. Webber wants a planned and planning social econ- omy in the United States. Under the Charles C. Webber plan, peo- ple would own and youth would rule. Those brought up with the old- fashioned really is a ly seeking to make all things new,’ why does He not carry out His will few minutes?

France calls Paris the “aerial port of Europe,” proudly. In America the still prouder title “Chief Air Traffic Port of the Whole World" is claimed by Miami, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Clevelan., and with a great deal of reason by San Francisco and Oakland, thanks to the magnificent bay, and to the fact that the greatest air line, from a to Asia, starts from that neighborhood. @ Kins PTs to | ACING an enthusiastic crowd that completely filled the big Senator Steiwer of Oregon the official notification of his nomination for the vice presidency by the Republican par- ty.

His fellow citizens were glad to express their gratification for the honor done him, and the thousands from outside Chicago were no less warm in their appre- ciation of the candidate. In the streets surrounding the stadium was another vast throng of people who, unable to get into the build- ing, listened to the proceedings as broadcast by a loud-speaker SYyS- tem. received from iid Knox devoted much of his address in the history of the nation but ig- nored its responsibility, its job and defaulted in gations. “From the day that it took of- fice,” he declared, on a series of hysterical ments on the economic life of a burdened people. At a time when universal co-operation was a neces- sity it initiated a campaign of abuse and vilification of business men. At a time when the credit of the country should have been strengthened it inaugurated a poli- cy of credit adulteration and cur- rency experiment that demoralized foreign trade and frightened do- mestic finance. It set up a system of regimentation of industry that reduced production and prevented re-employment.

It installed a regimentation of agriculture that destroyed food and reduced foreign markets and increased the cost of of relief. “At a time when private industry was struggling desperately for a new start it set up governmental enterprise to compete with private business. At a time when the bur- den of taxation was already hard to bear it embarked on a policy of squandering public funds and in- creasing the weight of taxes. At a time when united effort and mutual good-will would have completed recovery it promoted sectional hat- red and class strife. At a time when returning business confidence was ending depression it began a campaign to terrorize business and subjugate the banks. At a time when confidence in the character of government was vital it estab lished a spoils system. At a time when the economic system was worn and emaciated it performed major surgical operations upon the industrial body to see what was inside. It adopted an economic philosophy of scarcity and forced it upon a hungry and distressed peo- ple. . . . “No one can define the New Deal or even describe it. But we know what it means. It means federal control over local business, over local bank credit, over local wages, over local conditions of work.

In some sections there will not even be fodder and over a much larger area no grain will be obtained this year. There were good rains, however, in parts of the central and eastern areas and improvement was noted there in both corn and pasturage. The present drouth in Iowa, the department said, has caused great. er damage to corn than that of i034. The summary reported al most complete destruction of the Crop in two southern and two west. ern tiers of counties, with serious damage in some other sections. Threshing of winter wheat re- vealed expected yields, the report said, but spring wheat conditions were termed disappointing. RESIDENT ROOSEVELT ended his 437 mile cruise when his yacht docked at Campobello island, New Brunswick, where he has a summer home. He shaved off the sidewhiskers he had grown to sur- prise his wife and mother and went ashore for a picnic and a reception with members of his family and friends in the summer colony of the island. Canadian Royal Mount- ed police joined with the American secret service men in guarding the distinguished visitor. Mr. Roosevelt remained at Campobello only two days and thea took a special train to Quebec, where he visited with Lord Tweeds- muir, governor general of Canada. EN. FRANCISCO FRANCO'S rebel forces in Spain, accord- ing to late reports, were pressing the government troops seriously \ sex and winning some bloody encounters.

Indeed, it was an- nounced by the insurgent radio sta- tion at Seville that the garrison at Valencia had revoited and gone over to the rebels. Leaders of the insurgents claimed they held Huel- va, important seaport, and all the territory between Seville and the Portuguese border. The loyalists directed a strong attack on Sara- gossa but advices from the front reacHing Perpignan, France, said their three columns were ambushed by the rebels in a narrow canyon and lost perhaps 2,000 killed.

The loyalists were encour aged by victories in and around San Sebastian. Claude G. Bowers, American am. bassador to Spain, was cut of; from communication with the summer Quarters of his embassy at San Sebastian for several days, being himself at his summer residence in Fuentarrabia, close to the French border. He finally got in touch with the embassy and removed the staff to his villa. Mr. Bowers also provided safe haven for a number of other foreign diplomats and their families. He said he had ascer- tained that not a single American had been injured in the civil war, American warships and liners were utilized to evacuate all the Ameri- cans in ports where their lives were in danger Later Ambassador Bowers and his staff went aboard the cruiser Cayuga, taking with them some of the American refugees. TV MEMBERS of the Ameri can Olympic boxing squad failed to take warning from the fate of Eleanor Holm Jarrett and broke training rules soon after their arrival in Berlin. Roy Davis, man ager of the boxers, advised that they be sent home, and the Amer- ican Olympic committee so or- dered. The two delinquents were Joe J. Church, featherweight, of Batavia, N. Y., and Howell King, welterweight, of Detroit. Their places on the team were filied by Theodore E. Kara and Chester Ru- tecki, both of Chicago. ————— [EMPHASIS is placed on smaller scale projects to be completed speedily, in the third building pro- gram of the public works admin- istration, which was opened by the allotment of $22,742,034 by Pres- ident Roosevelt.

The report that the Nazis were taking this action was brought up in the English house of commons Foreign Secretary Eden said the government did not intend to deal separately with the question, hop- ing for a fresh effort for European peace “in which Germany would play a full part.” He hinted that Great Britain would let the affair pass without comment as one of Germany’s “minor affronts.’’ It was believed France would take the same stand. ENATOR VIC DONAHEY of Ohio, while fishing in Chesapeake bay, was struck by lightning, and painfully but not dangerously in- jured. The bolt hit and split the mast of his launch, ran along the rail and burned the senator's hands badly. Another senator, Robert nolds of North Carolina, was among a group of tourists who were robbed by bandits near Tax- co, Mexico. The victims lost their money, watches and jewelry bug were not otherwise abused. Rey. Jowa Republicans nominated Bar- ry Halden of Chariton, editor and American Legion leade:, for the United States senate seat made vacant by the death of Louis Mur- phy. His Democratic opponent is Guy M. Gillette. The state Farmer-Labor party delegates met in Des Moines and named former Senator Smith Wild. man Brookhart as their candidate for the seat. Until recently he has been connected with the New Deal farm organization. In Oklahoma's runoff primary young Representative Josh Lee won the Democratic nomination for United States senator, badly de- feating Gov. E. W. Marland. Lee's Republican opponent is Herbert K. Hyde. IR HENRY WELLCOME, who was born in a log cabin in Wis- consin 83 years ago and who be- came one of England's greatest scientists and explorers, died in London following an operation. His scientific achievements ranged from the establishment of physio logical laboratories to pioneering in the field of archaeological survey through the use of airplanes. He won the Royal Humane society life saving medal in 1885 and as late as 1927 founded the Lady Stanley Maternity hospital in Uganda, Cen- tral Africa. JRE than 100,000 persons stood i in silence at Vimy, France, as King Edward VIII of England unveiled the magnificent memorial built by France to commemorate the heroic capture of Vimy Ridge by the Canadian forces in April, 1917. After greeting President Lebrun of France in French, the king said: “We raise this > memorial to Cana- dian warriors. It is King Edward inspired expres- sion in stone chiseled by a skillful Canadian hand of Canada’s salute to her fallen sons. It marks the scene of feats of arms which his- tory will long remember and Can- ada can never forget. And the ground it covers is the gift of France to Canada.” The dedication culminated ten years of labor and an expenditure of about $1,000,000 on erection of the memorial. The work was com- pleted after earlier delays in con- struction because of difficulties in finding the 7,000 to 8,000 tons of special stone required. Walter S.
