Arthur Brisbane THE GOLD DECISION Beheading women MURDER WITH GERMS THE ATOM, ABSOLUTE ZERO The Supreme court upholds the President and congress in their legislative and executive action outlawing gold as money in the United States and invalidating “gold clauses in private contracts. The Supreme court's decision is at. the mure important and gratifying, because every American knows that no consideration outside the letter of the Constitution could have influenced Chief Justice Hughes or his associates. The Supreme court decision disposes of the statement that President Roosevelt's administration has been proceeding “regardless of the Constitution." The decision will be reassuring to business and the public generally. From every point Os view the beheading of women by Mr. Hitler's government seems to have been a painfully disgusting performance. The women's hands , were bound with steel chains—in fear, perhaps, that they might bite through strings or straps. The agile headsman, in full dress, cut off both heads in six minutes. The women were beheaded out of doors in the night, just before dawn, with floodlights for the headsman's work. Witnesses of the killings praise the composure of the two women. Each walked to her death erect, wrists chained behind her, showing no sign of fear. An eyewitness said: “They set a good example to our men, whom we usually have to drag to the scaffold. You have read about “war with germs” in the next great outburst. India proves that it could be done. At Alipore two are condemned to death, convicted of “germ murder. As rich Amarendra Nath Pandey walked along the street he felt a sharp stab. He cried out. A germ poisoner had injected plague germs into his blood. Amarendra died. Hus murderers were his stepbrothers and his doctor. Two other doctors, accused, were acquitted. A well-organised germ war could *be disagreeable, distributing disease germs above great cities and in reservoirs from planes. At Leyden, in Holland, scientists have produced a degree of cold said to approach within one-five-thou-aandth of a degree of absolute aero. A gigantic electro-magnet, in combination with liquid helium, produces the lowest temperature ever known on earth. The lowest possible degree of cold, the absolute aero, would be * minus 273 degrees centigrade, or - minus 459.6 Fahrenheit. At least science thinks so. It used to call the atom “smallest fragment of matter." Science needs “absolute xero" to help ip tearing apart the atom, now known to be a miniature solar system. Doctor Steinach of Vienna, whose business has been transplanting glands of lower animals to the bodies of men, to prolong youth and extend the years of possible parentage, announces .now a “chemical substance" that makes transplanting glands unnecessary. The chemical, called prog y non, possibly a compound of “progeny," is avail able for men or women. , .Henry Ford views money philosophically as merely an abstract “indefinite, incoherent homogeneity," as Herbert Spencer might have called It. Mr. Cameron, broadcasting, mentioned casually the fact that Mr. Ford in one year lost 368,.000,000. When this writer asked Henry Ford what was the most money he had lost in any year while “changing type" and reorganising, he replied: “I didn't lose any money. '1 only distributed some money." It has been, customary at executions in New Jersey state prison to admit relatives of a murdered man, that they may witnesses the killing of the murderer; very considerate, if relatives of one murdered really desire to see the murdered as ho sits in the chair, straining against the straps and frothing behind the mask It is safe to predict that Colonel Lindbergh will reject the invitation to see Hauptmann put to death for the kidnapping and murder of his child. -That is probably not Colonel Lindbergh's idea of a pleasant sight. James A. Moffett, federal housing administrator, says the country is out of the depression but does not j know it. In the West he “found business conditions definitely imP -A CLUB NAME CHANGED. > The Junior UdS of the Round Fable, Division No. 2 met at the home of Wfflodeen Mock, Thursday February 21, with Mary Jane Green and Virginia Riddle acting as soshtant hostesses.

Smith. moved to Lake Papakeetchie from South Bend six years ago, escaped drowning in L. ke Wawasee, ’ Sunday morning about 9 o'clock, 1 when his Chevrolet roadster went through a wide crack In the ice about 500 feet off shore at what is known as “Greider’s Point” or “Highland View Gardens." Smith said he was on the south side of the lake, on the road lead- < ing from Vawter Park to the point, I and decided he wanted to get to ' . Johnson’s bay whxh is on the northside of the lake. Rather than drive around, he deckle J to cut across the ice. The ice is from 8 to 9 inches thick, ! but when about 500 feet fn m shore. Smith said his car's nose juit st rted for the bottom of the lake, sinking in open water. There is a crack across the lake at that point from six to seven feet in width. ‘ Frosty" ! Galloway said it has been that wide | even in the coldest weather. Smith said it happened so quickly he didn't think about much, and he dqpsn't have in his vocabdl. ry the words to express his sensations as he went to the bottom of Lake Wawasee in his roadster, and felt the water coming into -the car steadily, creeping around his knees, then higher and higher. When the car bit the bottom it was full of water, and he was able to get the door open andcome out, and straight up to the air. He said he saw two men fhhing on the ice nearby and that he didn't know whether he could climb out of the water or not. He said he called to them, but before they Cached him, he had managed to climb onto the tee, as it was thick and did not break under his weight. Smith said: ‘Talk .about accommodating! I don't know who those fishermen were, but I was plenty wet, and one of them asked where 1 lived, and I told them about three of four miles from there and the man said: ‘Well, if you walk fast you can keep warm.’" So, Smith said he started down the ice covered lake, to “Frosty", Galloway’s grocery. From there the Bundy boys took him home in their (Coaiinuwf on Last Page) NEW CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS TUESDAY Little Theater Movement is Comi menced In Syracuse: Plan to Present One-Act Plays.
