- SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24—The war has had Practically no effect on the Golden Gate International Exposition. Tris + ; France and Italy were the only big European and they are still open. British Columbia : announced it would close, but then changed its mind. Only one exhibit has been closed by the war. That was the fascinating building of the State of Jahore, which is either in India or the East.Indies, and
if I had my atlas with me I'd
tell you right off. Anyway, it seems the Maharajah of Jahore was personally putting up the money for this exhibit, and when the war came he thought he’d better spend the money for war : p s.

THE FACT THAT this year marks the centenary of the invention of photography moves me to do my little part.
Back in the old days when I was a kid, there used
to be a little shop near Bryce’s bakery on E. South St,
_ ton was using his shop to make cameras.
which had the geographical advantage of being but a block away from Hetherington & Berner’s foundry. This was mighty handy for the young man who ran the little shop bécause when things got a little dull at his place, he could run over and see what was doing at the foundry. For a long time a good deal of mystery surrounded the little shop, but by the time I came along things were pretty well cleared up. Anyway, it was no longer a secret. that Fred Hetherington, son of the foundry boss, was the man running between the two places. Pretty soon, too, more news leaked out and before most people were hep to what was going on in Indianapolis some of us kids discovered that Mr. HetheringWhat's more, that he had invented a kind of camera the like of which had never been seen before. I wonder how many are tucked away in Indianapolis attics. 2 8 =.
Then Came the Kodak
It was a portable magazine camera capable of ‘being charged with a dozen plates which was some-
. thing nobody had been slick enough to think of be-
fore. A turn of a key flopped the plates into position. In appearance the camera looked exactly like -the package of Oswega Starch on Mothers kitchen shelf. at the time. As near as I recall it was about 15 inches long, eight inches wide, and just about as thick, too. The camera weighed somewhere around

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—Are thé Netherlands next
. on the list?
From both Paris and London come dispatches, which bear the marks of authenticity, reporting suspicions in informed quarters that Germany contemplates. a lightning stroke against The Netherlands. The purpose of such -an attack would be, partly to flank the French perhaps, but mainly to use Holland as an advance base for submarine and air attacks against Great Britain. Such a maneuver would bring Germany considerably closer to England, which is the real target. From a strictly military point of view, there is little doubt that, such a stroke is practicable. Information picked up on the Allied side is that the Germans figure they could get through to the Dutch coast in 48 hours. To be sure The Netherlands would resist with their small army and would attempt to flood the lowlands. Vet military experts consider her practically helpless against Germany. ”n 2 2
"A Passionate Neutral
But. there are other considerations. Battles may be
won by military might alone. But not wars. For all
"that the occupation of Belgium in the last war meant - ‘ to the German army
from a strictly military point of
' view, it was a costly enterprise because it lost to Ger~

there was a little more feeling of ‘being in the land w.
here the rodeos have their roots. This was a good show, however, and I enjoyed it _very much. > I was terrified when I saw the boys thrown and apparently injured on two or three occasions, but I tried to reassure myself with the same remarks that used to be made to me when my own boys were playing football. I would see a boy carried off the field and be very much troubled by it, and someone would say: “Oh well, they are trained and tough. Youll see, he will be GE walking around soon.” Very often he was, bit’ sometimes he wasn’t. I remember a good many years when I counted on one operation and two or three weeks in a hospital for one of the boys every autumn as a result of injuriés in games. - This going away on lecture trips does complicate life, for we try to do everything possible before we leave and we néver quite get. 4 : hav mailed away seven.

I suppose the Exposition has created enough wonderful little human stories to fill a book, yet we know about. them only from each individual to whom something happened. The best one I've heard is this: " A couple we know real well out here went one day. They separated at the entrance, so each could just mosey around and See what he pleased. They warned each other to go easy on the money. : Well, ‘our man friend got tangled up “in. the art exhibit, and walked around it for a couple of hours. When he came out he was dog tired. He thought: once, or maybe twice, and then climbed into one of those wheel chairs, at $1.50 a trip. And, of course, in less than 100 yards who should he see coming but his wife, wearily hoofing it along the macadam roadway. Did our friend gallantly leap ot, ow: and invite his wife to ride with him in the cha i He did not. He didn’t want hér to know he was spending money that way. So he. pulled. his hat over, his eyes, scooted way down, passed within six inches of her and went on up the road on his rubber wheels, putting her out of sight and out of mind. 8 8 8
They Wanted to Help | ;
~The other day, in the Exposition offices, I spent some time going over their file of rejected ideas. Apparently if you didn’t have an idea about making the Fair bigger and better, and didn’t send it in to the Fair, you're some kind of a freak.
One guy wantéd them to make Treasure Island a
. 30-foot thick mattress (rubber, I. suppose) and sus-
pend it a mile high above San Francisco, on balloons. Another fellow suggested they publicize the Fair with a balloon race around the world. ; A man in Brooklyn wanted them to put up. the word “Welcome” in the 125 languages in which he had. collected that word. : But the most wonderful of all, I thought, was a letter irom a religious school right here in California. They were under the impression that the Golden Gate International Exposition was a traveling carnival, and wanted to know how much they'd charge to bring it to that community for a church benefit!

We kids, I remember, did a lot of speculating as to which of the two was the betr buy. : For a while it looked as if Mr. Hetherington had the world by the tail when, all of a sudden, the Kodak people came along with their invention of a film
. wrapped around a spool. Almost over night the little
shop on South St. folded up. After that, Mr. Hetherington had better luck with his invention of an asphalt plant. It’s still going good. ) Mr. Hetherington thought up a lot of stunts around here before anybody else did. More than I can remember, but I seem to recall that, among other things, he made the first cartoon to appear in an Indianapolis newspaper. ”
The Boy Cartoonist
Anyway, in 1879 when he was 20 years old, Mr. Hetherington was a student of John Love in the old Indiana School of Art. Nobody knows just how it happened, but one day he got a letter inviting him to visit Enos B. Reed, editor and owner of The People, a loud and lusty weekly at the time. Seems that Mr. Reed was mad at somebody and, to get even, had thought up an idea for a cartoon. Fred Hetherington was the poy picked to do the job. Up to that time only subscribers of Puck and Judge knew what a cartoon was. Well, Mr. Hetherington did such a nasty-nice job that it attracted the attention of other editors, with the result that he got a hurry-up call every time somebody had an idea too subtle or too mean to express in words. Indeed, his work even caught the fancy of ad writers of the time. His best ad, I remember, was the one he made for the Tucker Glove Co. It represented a bunch of boys without a stitch of clothing on. ‘At first nobody knew what the naked boys were up to, but everybody caught on when he learned that the Tucker people were getting ready to iaunch a bargain sale of undressed kids.

defense for France. Holland, on the contrary, is a passionate neutral. She remained neutral throughout the last war. She has refused to enter non-aggression
.pacts with othér powers, feeling that her immunity
from invasion should rest not on pacts but on history, international law and right. Germany has no defensive excuse. An invasion of The Netherlands would shock American 4nd all neutral opinion as a purely ruthless act of aggression. Germany surely will not be blind to the’ recent experience of the Soviet Union, which apparently was on the verge of a maneuver at the expense of Finland. Ameriéan reaction was decidedly unfavorable, and in response to this feeling Mr. Roosevelt dropped a friendly hint in Moscow which appears.to have had a sobering effect. American public opinion, although opposed to becoming involved in the war, is far from callous to flagrant aggression against helpless neutrals. 2 2 8
Affection for the Dutch
This country always has had a warm place in its affections for the Dutch, a small, sturdy, self-respect-ing nation which minds its own business, not allowing itsélf to be used by either side. The Dutch have hela a special place in the American tradition and Dutch blood has come down through three of our Presidents, the two Roosevelts and Van Buren. Germany has given pledges to respect the neutrality of The Netherlands. Yet Germany has concentrated troops opposite the Dutch border and suspicions of German intentions have become widespréad in England, France and here. It is safe to say that this Governmént and the American people would view a threat against The Netherlands with the same concern that was so strongly manifest a few days ago in the case of Finland. “And it is inconceivable that the German Government could be so oblivious to that as to go ahead with such a stroke as is now feared, for to do so woul be to incur complete moral isolation, , ia

Nazis Count on Bombs And Flame-Throwers
By Thomas M. Johnson
Times Special Writer
VV ASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—If the so-called “shadow-box- -
ing” in Europe ends soon and the main bout begins,
it will be because Adolf Hitler décides to gamble desper-
ately for. victory before the months set in.
militarily paralyzing winter
For winter, with fogs descending over England and rains falling over the dark and bloody ground of France,
would enable two enemy generals to gather strength
against the Nazis. One is “General Time,” the friend of the Allies, who are laboring fiercely to match Germany’s war preparations. ook The other is “General Blockade,” gnawing at the German peoplée’s vitals. With these two generals working for them, there is no reason for the Allies to attack so late in the season, bringing on the costly, useless losses of 25 years ago. Theirs should be a-strategy of attrition, which Hitler might. find so threatening that to defeat it, he might attempt a world-staggering military action—an offensive that could result-in either the Allies or Germany being quickly crushed.
HE Saar—a 125-mile stretch of border from Belgium and. Luxembourg and the Moselle, eastward to the Rhine—might be the spearpoint of this offensive. Wooded but rolling, this. is “good fighting country,” where Germans and French can readily come to grips and hope to get something in return for sacrifices. Today the poilus’ cautious, nibbling advance of recent weeks has brought this 700-square mile region within range of their guns. No longer do the Saar’s big furnaces make a cloud by day, a pillar of fire by night. No longer does the Saar produce a quantity of coal and iron nearly equal to all the coal and iron that lies in the mines Germany got—partly wrecked—from her Polish. conquest. Thus the Nazi victory in Poland has been mainly cancelled
out by the ridiculed French “sha-dow-boxing” in the Saar—and will so remain until the Germans get the Polish mines going again full blast or ‘drive the French back the three to 15 miles they have advanced in the Saar. 2 2 2
HE French Army is perhaps the best in the world—welltrained, splendidly led. . The poilus’ morale is high from success, and they have had time te consolidate the captured ground, and to survey fields of fire for their famous artillery. However, the Germans’ artillery is newer than fhe French 75's; the German equipment is largely model ’39. To the west the Germans are bringing not only nearly a million more men, but also the mechanized Panzerdivisionen whose armored cars and tanks so hastened Poland’s whirlwind finish. Heavier German tanks with
six-inch guns also probably will
make their debut on the Western Front. ih To be sure, these mechanized ‘forces : will run a gantlet more fiery. than in Poland. The British alone, with 158,000 meén in France - and some 30,000 actually in line, have 22 anti-tank guns to a battalion. But German cannon-fodder now probably totals 100 divisions —as many as covered a larger front in 1914. And above them the wings of the air force cast
. black shadows of deeds already
done. In Spain the Nazi flyers of the Condor Legion captured Bilbao rot by dropping men in parachutes, but by dropping bombs. “But,” say some military men,
“gyviation cannot occupy a city. That must be done by ground troops.” To which airmen retort: “Bilbao was occupied by ground troops, but not by infantry. Rathe er, by ‘artillery. They just trotted in after the airplane bombs had
. driven out the infantry.”
Then, in Poland, the Condor Legion again rehearsed this new=style warfare—on Kattowitz. Next? Perhaps it will be tried on two cities of A. E. F. tradition —Metz and Nancy. Both are on the French side of the Saar boundary. ® 2 = LSO, both cities are behind the famous Maginot Line, that fortified zone unique in military engineering, which follows the con- - tours of the land so that the Germans, after driving the French
from the ‘Saar, must come first upon outworks © of trenches, barbed-wire, concrete machinegun pillboxes and tanktraps of steel rails sunk in concrete. But the Maginot Line’s main strength lies in great galleries several . levels deep - linderground, air-conditioned, capable of sheltering a special army that has been trained to fight from casements sunk deep into earth or by emerging from prepared passageways to counter-attack the at‘tacker. Could even the Condor Legion’s claws rend a way through? Could low-flying aircraft bomb those casements, heavy tanks shell them? Could flame-throwers sear those casements until the defenders, though still living, would be driven half-insane by repeated shock, and made to surrender as did the garrisons of some Polish blockhouses? Some good American opinion thinks that is not impossible. ? This, at least, is the greatest immediate question of the war on “land. If the answer is yes, then just possibly Germany, by staking all upon the attempt, may win before winter. - But: that is hardly likely, if only because winter comes very early in the Saar. and neighboring Lorraine, and is very nasty, as many an A. L. F. veteran knows. . If there: is not: time to break through the Maginof Line, would there be time to drive the. French from the Saar? That may seem to Hitler well worth trying, for then—with “German soil freed of the invader”—he can make another peace offer that at least will help him at home.

SECOND SECTION
UPHELD INHIGH | COURT RULING
37 Law Allows Deduction Of 10 Per Cent on Wages Over $15 Weekly.
Indiana now has a garnishee law bearing the formal approval of the Indiana . Supreme Court for. the first time in the State's his- . The Supreme Court, with Chief Justice George L. Trerain dissenting, held constitutional the. 1937 garnishee exemption law which
| | permits garnishment action against
a fraction of a debtor's weekly wages. : e 1937 garnishee exemption law replaced the old statute passed in 1925 which was .in litigation seve eral years before the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional.
Limits Garnishment
Under the new law, held valid by the high court, a debtor earn=
ing $15 weekly or less cannot be subjected to garnishment action in court. - Only 10 per cent of a debtor’s wages over $15 a week is open for garnishment. The exemption means that if a debtor earns $25 a week only $1 weekly can be taken under a garnishment judgment. { Other exemptions allowed under the law include $700 in real estate and $600 personal property. ‘The law provides that the total of all exempted property cannot be more than. $1000. These exemptions mean, in effect, that if a debtor owns $1000 or more of property all of his salary is subjected to garnishment action. fs © Comment Withheld The Supreme Court majority opinion stated that “under all authorities that come to our atfention, the character and amount of property to be exempted is within the reasonable discretion of the Legislature.” The opinion stated that the “remedy, if the law is unjust, is an appeal to the Legislature.” It was written by. Judge Michael Fansler, Judge Tremain did not comment on his dissenting opinion. es The case was appealed to .the Supreme Court, from Howard County, where the Circuit Court held the law invalid. The appeal was taken by Dr. Jesse S. Spangler of Kokomo, who sought to garnishee the wages of Leo Bolinger, a city fireman, on an $85 debt. ; The Howard Circuit held the law invalid on the ground that it “divided debtors into classes” and that it “arbitrarily. discriminates between the classes” in violation o! the State Constitution. ! ieee
