by Arthur Brisbane FRANCE LOOKS AHEAD SNAKE AND SPIDER SHARPSHOOTING, NEW THE RESTLESS PHILIPPINES

Berlin says France is arranging to lend one hundred million yen, Japanese money, to the new “republic" pf Manchukuo, where a Chinese puppet governs in the interest of JapanJapan would guarantee the loan. Germans believe that France considers it important to help Japan establish a strong position on the southern, boundaries of Russian Siberia. The French are wise in war matters and able to look ahead. Tragic happenings in St. Charles, 111. Scientists watched a ten-inch garter snake held prisoner in the web of a black spider. The spider wrapped its silken ropes, much stronger in proportion to size than | any steel cable made by man, around i the snake’s head. For 24 days, the! snake, alive, struggled vainly to escape ' . The spider, apparently not strong : enough t.o kill the snake, daily wrap-j ped more spider web around it. Kind “cruelty to animals” sympathizers protested and the snake was' freed., Science said the spider was entitled ' to prove what he could do. It was a | small male spider of the interesting , kind, that, according to Fabre, French naturalist, enjoys a dangerous honeymoon. The female usually kills and devours him when the honeymoon is over, and sometimes before it starts. : A new kind of sharp shooting is developed, more important to this country’s safety than anything else, not excepting sentimental peace talk. Lieut, E. W. O’Connor, army air! corps, establishes a world’s record; for consecutive hits with bombs ft •'om a height of S,(XM) feet. He aim- ! ed eight bombs at a small circle on I the ground. Seven reached the mark: the eighth fefllfjust outside the circle One flyer, j with one helper, in a bombing plane costing less than SIOO-j 000, shooting as well as that, could haVe destroyed seven battleships, Costing 550,<.X.0,0*hi each’,, destroying 4 . ■’ also their crews. ' Spain, now building up .an “armada «f the, air.’* shows her inteilige: cd She will End that more useful than the old floating armada sent against j England and Elizabeth. | Our patriotic fellow Americans in the Phillipines seem uncertain as to their desirek. Recently they have been tellipg u- they would separate fiom the United States entirely, to] be free and independent. Then it occurred to some that if they did that they would not be- able. to send sugar and' other products here without pay-; ing duty: thxt they would have mibody to build roads and public] schools for them. Now Guillermo Capadocia, froml the Island of Negr< s, says: "We want to run the Americans out of the Philippines.” Simultaneously, he, with live hundred associates waving J red flags, cairymg banders reading: "Long live the Soviet republic!” de- ] mands a cash dole, payable weekly. I It is a complicated situation there; : Campers near Elrama, Pa., dig-j ging into a hillside, uncovered skeletons of human beings that lived in America thousands of years before the noble redman came, supposedly, front Asia; These earlier Americana,, according to scientists examining their skulls, had more intelligence than*the Indians that followed them. They were “dollcocephalic,” which means “long headed,” andtheir skull bone was thin, which indicates that they had been thinking for a long time. But their jaws were heavy and primitive, showing lack of balance.? Invaders from f Asia, probably bet-]! ter fighters, wiped them out. r . jIf your boy is “going, out" for athletic honors in his high school, preparatory school* ot college, determined to- “make” this team or that, you will be interested in an insurance survey which shows that college men live long, but the athletes among them do not come up to the general average. He who uses dp his heaft in early youth with unnaturally violent exercise will not have a good heart to carry him through the later years. “Moderation in everything.” You can’t use up your heart, and have it. The British are vrise, Gandhi, whose sincerity enable* him to rule the minds of millions in India, says to the British. "I shall starve myself toy death if you don’t do so and so.” Wise Britain replies, “You must decide about that, but you will not starve to death in our prison.” The British tell Gandhi that he may leave prison and fast or starve at his leisure somewhere else. Th* wise man knows when to give way. The learned Professor Darwin, now eighty-two years old, son of the great Darwin, says our civilisation is going to pieces soon, if we do not breed a better race of white folksThe kind produced is about ready to go downward, as other civilizations have done before us. What we need according to Darwin, is more sons and daughter* with intelligent father* and mother*, in place of the present plan, which leavea most breeding to the “tower i’liwMi*

As- it happened Dr. Hay didn’t see; him and didn’t know he was in that vicinity until he heard the child scream. Dr. Hay slammed on the brakes, and the -right wheel dragged, stopping on Stanley’s right knee which was severely burned when the wheel was thus dragged on it.

NEW $1.50 TAX LIMIT LAW UPHELD Attorney General Says , State Tax Rate < ■p ■■ A ' • : ' ■ ■■ Only 15 cents INDIANAPOLIS -Provisions of the new “$1.50 tax rate limitation law” were upheld ip an | opinion by Attorney General James M. Ogden to- ■■ ' The attorney general advised Philip Zoercher and other members of the State Tax Board that they must recognize the tax limitation law as taking precedent oyer.the sl2/000,QOO budget appropriation law, even though the rate may not raise the amounji of revenue provided for. Ogd£n further advised the board that when it meets his month (o fix the 1933 state tax rate it must fol--low the new law and fix the rate at 15 cents. Th*, present rate is 29 cents. Zoercher ’had asked Ogden for the legal opinion clarifying the Tax Board’s duties in .fixing the-state tax rate this monthi in the face of the law limiting the state rate (,o 15 cents, and another appropriating $12,000,000 to operate the s;ate government. He said 15 cents would be insufficient to meet this appropriation even if all of the 15 cents tyas applied to the general fund.’ Specified levies take 10.7 cents of this and only 4.3 cents is left for the general fund. Zoercher asked (whether the Tax Board is* bound by the. ,15<cent rate law, or whether it should fix a rate sufficient] to I meet tie appropriations authorized.. He suggested that since the appropriation bill was passed after the 15-cent rate law that the. former was intended to take precedence. : > The tax commissioner also suggested the law riight be invalid ' sfiice the state prohibits the state from incurring, indebtedness. Obviously, hie sard, the state, will have to go into debt if Jit attempts to meet . its - appropriations with.a 15 cent ratli. Attorney General Ogden held, however, that the law, limiting the state rate to 15 cents does not nullify the provisions of (the appropriation act, pointing out the 1933 session of the Assembly is oiily three months off and that it can at that tipie create new sources of revenue to meet the. budget. The $1.50 law has attracted nationwide attention. Gov. Leslie declared is would throw the state intq “financial i chaos.” - ONIONS LOADED t AND UNLOADED A car of onions lielotiging to Ding-* felter and Balish of Kimmel was loaded at the B. <S: O. station here, Monday.
