9RIM 6/Arthur Brisbane A FIGHTING AMERICAN DAVID AND GOLIATH OXYGEN FOR THE PATIENT TALE OF A BUND MAN

It turns out that the “lone Chinese pilot” who attacked six Japanese airplanes all by himself, was a young American, Robert M. Short, of Lakeview, Washington. This young American, member of the United States reserve corps, sympathizing with the Chinese or craving excitement, enlisted as a fighter for China about a week, ago and, in an American plane owned by the Chinese went, up after three Japanese bombing planes, piloted by three Japanese pursuit planes. He had brought down a Japanese plane and pilot, two days before, and was himself killed by gunfire from the three pursuit planes China, it is said will give the young American a highly honorable funeral and has appointed him posthumously a colonel. The David and Goliath fight goes on in Asia with Japan as David, but there is a difference, however. The Asiatic Goliath refuses to lie. down and die. A wise American says, "I don’t think Japan will have the easy time she expected. Her first wars were too easy. She went through China like a knife through soft cheese, when China ’’was busy absorbing opium forced on her by a ‘Christian nation.’” She went through Russia with ease when Russian grand dukes and oth-j era in charge, for the czar, drank more champagne in three months than the rest of the world drank in two years. In> spite of “cash relief oxygen" I generously supplied by the government, Wall street refuses to be Cheerful. After two Americans had ‘finished • two-franc table d’hote dinner in Paris, one said, “That was very good" The other said “Yes, let us have another." Perhaps that is how high finance feels about the $2,000,000,IMM) table j d'hote that the government is handing out. By the way. short selling of stocks continues cheerfully. Protests of President Hoover against short selling, that undermines public confidence and destroys public values, and regulations made by the stock exchange recently seem not to be taken seriously. While our government is administering oxygen to banks and other financial institutions to the tune of two or three billion dollars, Germany's government is buying up German bank stocks and now controls the third biggest of the German banks. Some of American bank stock i owners wish this government had had thaV idea back in 1929, and had bought all the bank stocks. Those who think it is the business of America to protect everybody, all over the globe, no matter what hap- i pens here, should study the case of Chicago’s blind musician Clinton Sabin, who long has played an accor- ■ dion on the street, collecting pennies, his wife, Eva, guiding him through the crowd. The gangsters wanted to get Albert Beczar and take him for’ a ride. So Beczar told Sabin and the latter took him in to hide and protect him. It was his duty • to help others. Eva guides Sabin’s steps no longer. She went off • with Beczar; at least, that is Sabin's opinion, for they are both gone, and to make it worse, collections are bad. The talk of world disarmament is interrupted by France announcing that she will spend for war preparations more money this year than last. A French newspaper cartoon shows France threatened by huge guns in Russia, other guns and airplanes in | Germany, many guns and ships of England, all sorts of weapons in Italy, plus the poyer -us the United States and writes in letters on the cartoon: “Et on vent que La France desarme." “And they want France to disarm." Three detectives from Cleveland and two from the New York force captured a difficult customer in New York. As he walked the street, the five that had waited pounced upon him. One bored the muzzle of a re- " volver into his neck, the other four with fists and revolver butts, con-, quered him, and “Smiling Joe Filhowski, called “Cleveland’s most dangerous gunman,” was a prisoner. Filowski has a record, which includes disarming and capturing two Chicago policeman and then using the«r automobile to kidnap them. He wounded two other policemen in Ohio. In his cell much humiliated, he . muttered between lips puffed up from the blows of detectives: "They surprised me, or I wouldn’t be here, 1 can pull a gun faster than you can Wink." Mme. Gadski opera singer, is dead killed in an automobile crash at fifty nine years of age. Good music opens the mind to new ideas, as a plow opens the soil to •eed, sunshine and rain. Perhaps in heaven somebody will tell Mme. Gadski how much good she did in her life of work *f an earnest musician, M Bruennhilde, and in other parts. 1

SYRACUSE FIRM LOW BIDDER ON PAVING SECTION McClintic, Colwell and Gordy’s bid of $81,129.37 for fiaving of 7.2 miles of road in Kosciusko county on state road 15 was the low bid received on this stretch of road, when the state highway commission opened proposals of 75 bidders in Indianapolis, Tuesday. Bontrager Construction Company of Elkhart submitted a bid of $106,628.43 for the other section of this road, and a combination bid of $182,486 on both sections. There were 17 combination bids. Whether the two. projects will be let as one to the Elkhart company is not yet known, but it is hoped that in an effort 'to distribute work throughout the state that the Syracuse firm will be awarded the sector of road on which it was the low bidder. * The Bontrager Construction company, bidding on the whole stretch of road which totals 16.18 miles, submitted a bid of $182,486.37. This figure makes this company $5,270,43 lower on the bid for the entire road than the two lowest individual bids submitted for these two sections. Low bids totalled $1,335,199.61 for paving 86.5 miles of state roads and 20.5 miles of grading, when these bids were opened Tuesday. This letting pf contracts is the third since Jan. I, 1932.

TOWN BOARD WILL CUT ALL EXPENSES A program of economy has been inaugurated by ,the town board. Every bill is scrutinized and every source of expenditure watched. Keeping watch t>n the town funds constitutes practically all of the town board’s business these days. This is a radical change from the days urhen money iseemed inexhaustible, when sidewalks were laid, tons of gravel piled oh the streets, new pump installed and a fire engine house built. Tuesday the town board was awakened not rudely or suddenly because for some time members have realized the town’s finances are low, but they were shocked nevertheless W’hen announcement was made that money in the general fund is just about gone. ’ Ways and means are being sought whereby money from other funds can be transferred to the general fund, or borrowed from other accounts. The present town board is. carrying out its policy of economy, has decided instead of hauling gravel and dumping it on tk*e roads as before, to hire McClintic, Colwell and Gordy to grade the streets needing repairs the most. They believe that this will be the cheaper method. Boston street and the street south of the B. & O. tracks and running parallel to them are the two which will be graded. There is no danger that the towm’s funds will be I' depleted before the June tax distribution if economy is effected along every line, is the opinion of John Harley, town treasurer.
