by Arthur Brisbane TREAT CRIMINALS KINDLY MUSSOLINI’S WISDOM A BILLIONTH OF AN INCH TWO FIGHTING MACHINES Clarence Darrow, good lawyer, kind-hearted, exaggerates a little ; when he says of criminals: "The public likes to see them tortured, and guards are anxious to give ( the public what it wants.” — That is not accurate. Criminals sometimes torture their victims. The general public does not like torture. Prisoners today have baseball vaudeville shows, radios, and new prisons are planned with separate j rooms, 'decent beds. Prisoners should be treated humanely, but not made to feel that a criminal is some one to be admired. That] is overdoing it. Mussolini talks common sense on the wheat question, asking why . the. world demands a cut in the w heat J acreage “when in the~Wrld there are • all too many people poverty stricken and grievously distressed.” The Italian jrule_r says that the trouble with wheat cornea not from but from undercomsumption. • The nations should listen to him, and find away to distribute among the earth's 1 .600,000.000 the grain produced by farmers, and at a price proftabli? to the farmers. Professor Compton, winner of the Nobel prise in physics, shows the atoms in an electron, separated from each other by one-billionth of an | inch, and, in proportion to their size. ; as far apart as'the earth and the sun Until lately it was thought that r thing Smaller than the atom could exist. Now we know that it is a little solar system with a proton, or nucleus in the center, like our sun. and electrons revolving around it, like planets. - w. : ‘ j In the order of bigness, matter is arranged by Professor Compton as follows: “Electron atom. > bacterium, gnat. man. mountain,-earth, sun.’ solar i system, galactic cluster, galaxy and kaown universe.* That “kriown universe is so big that it would take'bght. going J 86,000 a» second, about 600,0001000 years to cross from one side to the other, Figure out that distance. And. for all we know, ".known universe” may be merely one little group of cosmic dust in an infinitely btgge; universe! Think of "a billionth of an inch,” and thousands of suns a million Uncle Sam is building two airplanes that will help us to realize the uselessness of marching troops in future wars. Each of the planes, called “hedge-hoppers,’’ will carry five machine guns, to 'spray" marching >.•!- diers with bullets, while flying fifty feet above the ground. In addition to . machine guns each plane will carry 500 pounds "f bombs. Are you taking golf lessons? Pay Ing some professional to tell. you w h..'. to do with your head, arms, wrists, feet,' knees, eyes and club? Learn that you may have to take those lessons all over again. Slowmotion "m<>\ie-" < f the great Bobby ■ Jor.es and the beautiful Joyce Wethered in action allow that these golfers do not "break their wrists, on the back swing" until very late in the swing. And Jones the Great hesitates at top 'f h s swjnc. ijhifts his b >dy and gets planted before he brings the ! clubhead down. Theory and practice are far apart in golf and in all education. i .Advanced thinkers in Eur-pe, led by! Briand of France, wanted a. United! Slates of Europe to tear down customs barriers between different nations and create' a great European United States, all states trading freely with each , other. Germany laid, "All right, we shalk start with Austria,” and planned a trade agreement in accordance with United States of Europe ideas, making Germanji and Austria the nucleus. "Not at all,” said France, and "Not, at all,” the other nations. "We don’t want you to do that.” So the United Stales 'of Europe is under a cloud. The wealth of this country, according to the industrial Conference board, has increased 32 per cent since 1914. Now we own in all $061.' "i,000,000, about $2,977 for each of the 123,000,000 Americana. GRANTED DIVORCE. Mrs. Dean C. Leas was granted a divorce and the right to resume her maiden name, Marion Olean Snepp, in Noble circuit court, in Albion, yesterday. She was represented by Harold Bowser, attorney. Judge L. H. Wrigley was on the bench. Cruel and inhuman treatment was alleged in the divorce complaint. —. ■ o — COMES THROUGH BLIZZARD Mrs. J. C. Alleger and W. M. Crowl motored from Long Beach, Calif, to Syracuse, reaching here Tuesday. They made the trip from Alburqueque to Kansas City through the blizzard which caused the death of so many last week.

The question will be se.ttled one way or another when lawyers . re tained by the opposing sides will present the views of their clients to the' county commissioners, at their meeting, April 7, The road runs from Dewart Lake north to the Stringtown road. The original petition for pavement was . presented in 1928 but . other roads were ahead of it. When the matter was brought up again for ap r a remonstrance against paving the road had been signed. It is said that over 3in» names were on this remonstrance, and, those who want the road claim that most of these objec- ' tors were not property owners, that most of them -lived in Milford, and that some who signed the remonstrance had previously signed the petition for the road. » The petitioners claim that when these names are struck from the remonstrance that those wanting the road will have won, for it is saiu there is plenty of money in the treasI urey to pave this road. The objectors declare that due to • the depression the road will be too ! big of an item of expense. - . —-—o- — BOY, 2, INJURED. Stanley Carr, 2 years old, son of I Mr. and Mrs. O. G.

ANCIENTS HAD € TREATING At this season of the year, many .es'dents of Syracuse and vicinity are suffering with heavy colds, grippe and flu, and have to take medicine at regular intervals. ' Although the bitterest- medicine; such as quinine now comes disguised in capsules, castor- oil has been made ' t'-isteless and . pills have been sugar coated, there are many who shrink ; ■ from taking medicine for ailments whether these be for colds or s- me- : thing more-.serious. !

U. According to news received by Mr. >.nd Mrs. W. G. Connolly, Friday, on he day before their daughter Leila had withdrawn from the race for queen of the Junior Prom at Indiana University. Her withdrawal left four sorority girls in the race, their election to the office of queen to have been decided in voting on the campus as Bloomington yesterday. In speaking of her decision not to .un, Miss Connolly said she hadn’t wanted to withdraw as she doesn’t like a quitter, but “certain matters which had recently arisen -made the •move seem advisable.” Whether or not there is to be a Prom seems to Ke a matter of conjecture, according to news dispatches from Bloomington, Saturday! Qn that day announcement was made of the expulsion of 16 students from the university for misconduct by Dean of Men C. E. Edmondson. A limit was to be placed on further social affairs at the university, following a week of investigation of recent campus dances where i'i was reported liquor flowed freely. \ - .
