er than Assistant Secretary Tugwell’s intelligent young daughter, Marcia, aged twelve, who, in partnership with her friends, Mary Frances Cottrell and Joyce Helmick, organized “a laundry for washing dogs.” They advertised: “Small dogs, 30 cents; rAiddle-sized dogs, 35 cents; groomed and washed. Dogs not good-natured must be sent with muzzles, and we cannot wash large dogs.” Too bad that parental severity broke up the dog laundry. It had announced working hours “10 a. m. to 5 p. m. on Saturdays,” the studious little girls’ only holiday, “all hours'after school on other weekdays.” What a good example for govern-. ment enterprises: the little girls really meant to work to “groom and wash” the dogs, not merely stand around and collect the 30 cents. Plucky little Holland and her wise queen seem to have decided that the 1014 "war to end all wars” did not finish its job. Holland went through the big war safely, selling butter, cheese, eggs, not disturbed, hot making any bad $10,000,000,000 loans. Now Holland is buying 13 heavy bombing planes in Baltimore, spending $1,500,000 for the 13, and spending many other millions for other killing machinery. That means work and wages in Baltimore; it may mean poison gas and death for some of Holland’s neighbor®, Foreign countries read everything said about them in America; not that foreign countries care what Americans think, or attach importance to American opinion, as such; but America has money, raw products, and governments that are sometimes whimsical, changeable and boyish. Europe, Asia and Africa watch with equal interest statements of Americans that count and more numerous Americans that float like feathers in the air. One simple - minded Russian pointed with pride to the statement of a clergyman in our Union Theological seminary. That gentleman. Rev. Charles C. Webber, has a plan for a better government, not based on the text about rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. The big idea is to take away what is Caesar’s. Eight hundred young people were told by Reverend Webber: “God, who is not content with things as they are, is a revolutionary Being, constantly seeking to make all things new.” Rev. Webber, “recognizing this," about God being a revolutionist, has a plan to help God in his efforts ; a plan as simple as A, B, C. Capitalism, he says, must be abolished. Rev. Webber wants a planned and planning social economy in the United States. Under the Charles C. Webber plan, people would own and manage such things as industry and property; -no money would be spent for war, and youth would rule. Those brought up with the oldfashioned idea of God might ask Rev. Webber, respectfully: “If God really is a revolutionary ‘constantly seeking to make all things new,* why does He not carry out His will and ‘make all things new’ every few minutes? Can it be that He needs the help of Rev. Webber? Lenin and Stalin got along without that help.” Also arises this question: With capitalism abolished, who would build the churches, the Union Theological seminaries, and pay salaries to Rev. Webbers for reading the mind of the Divinity? Dean Swift should have known Rev. Webber when he wrote his tale of a tub. France calls Paris the “aerial port of Europe,” proudly. In America the still prouder title “Chief Air Traffic Port of the Whole World” is claimed by Miami. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago. Cleveland, and with a great deal of reason by San Francisco and Oakland, thanks to the magnificent bay, and to the fact that the greatest air line, running from America to Asia, starts from that neighborhood. # Xia* Born on Battlefield A baby girl was born on the battlefield of Waterloo, between the cross fire of the English and the and not only lived, but grew up'to become the grandmother at the youngest wife of Baron de Lesseps who first planned the Panama canal.

Frank Knox Notified of Republican Vice Presidential Nomination—Spanish Rebels Winning Victories — Third PWA Building Program. ; wßy EDWARD W. PICKARD It ft Newspaper Union.

17 ACING an enthusiastic crowd " that completely filled the big Chicago stadium. Col. Frank Knox received from Senator Steiwer of

Oregon the official notification of his nomination for the vice presidency by the Republican party. National Chairman John Hamilton introduced the senator, who spoke briefly but forcefully and with his customary eloquence. As Colonel Knox stepped forward to

Colonel Knox

Oicppcu iuj wotu w deliver hi® speech of acceptance he was greeted by a roar of applause that continued for many minutes. His fellow citizens were glad to express their gratification for the honor done him, and the thousands from outside Chicago were no less warm in their appreciation of the candidate. In the streets surrounding the stadium ; was another vast throng of people who, unable to get into the building, listened to the proceedings as broadcast by a loud-speaker system. Unlike Governor Landoo, Colonel Knox devoted much of his address to the alleged failures of the Roosevelt administration which, he said, had the most giorious opportunity in the history of the nation but ig- f nored its responsibility, failed in its job apd defaulted in its obligations. “From the day that it took office,” he declared, “it embarked on a series of hysterical experiments on the economic life of a burdened people. At a time when universal co-operation was a necessity it initiated a campaign of abuse and vilification of business > men. At a time when the credit of I the country should have been ; strengthened it inaugurate a policy of credit" adulteration! and currency experiment that demoralized foreign trade and frightened domestic finance. It set up a system of regimentation of industry that reduced production and prevented re-employment. By coercion of congress it forced the passage of reform measures so recklessly drawn that they hamstrung the revival of enterprise and paralyzed the renewal of investment. It installed a regimentation of agriculture that destroyed food and reduced foreign markets and increased the cost of living and multiplied the expense of relief. “At a time when private industry was struggling desperately for a new start it set up governmental enterprise to compete with private business. At a time when the burden of taxation was already hard ( to bear it embarked on a policy of squandering public funds and increasing the weight of taxes. At a time when united effort and mutual good-will would have completed j recovery it promoted sectional hat- i red and class strife. At a time ! when returni%: business confidence j was ending depression it began a campaign to terrorize business and subjugate the banks. At a time ' when confidence in the character of government was vital it estab- j lished a spoils system. At a time j when the economic system was I worn and emaciated it performed j major surgical operations upon the j industrial body to see what was ! inside. It adopted an economic j philosophy of scarcity and forced it ; upon a hungry and distressed peo- j pie. . . . “No one can define the New Deal or even describe it. But we know what it means. It means federal j control over local business, over local bank credit, over local wages, ; over local conditions of work. It : leads to federal regimentation” of ; the labor, the business, and the home of every American citizen. It leads to price-fixing and production control by federal authority. It leads inevitably to the extinction of the small business man, to the end of free enterprise in America.” Before the ceremonies started there were four big parades, converging at the stadium; and elaborate musical programs were provided both inside and outside the building. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ended his 437 mile cruise when his j yacht docked at Campobelio island, • New Brunswick, where he has a j summer home. He shaved off the sidewhiskers he had grown to surprise his wife and mother and went ashore for a picnic and a reception with members of his family and friends in the summer cokmy of the island. Canadian Royal Mount- j ed police joined with the American secret service men in guarding the distinguished visitor. Mr. Roosevelt remained at Campobelio only two days and then took a special train to Quebec, where he visited with Lord Tweedsmuir, governor general of Canada. THE WEEKLY crop report and weather summary at the Department of Agriculture revealed that the drouth and high temperature were playing havoc with the corn crop in most of the leading producing states. In some sections there will not even be fodder and over a much larger area no grain will be obtained this year: There were good rains, however, in parts of the central and eastern areas and improvement was noted there in both corn and pasturage. The present drouth in lowa, the department said, has caused greater damage to corn than that of ' -

1934. The summary reported almost complete destruction of the crop in two southern and two western tiers of counties, with serious damage in some other sections. Threshing of winter wheat revealed expected yields, the report said, but spring wheat conditions were termed disappointing. TWO MEMBERS of the American Olympic boxing squad failed to take warning from the fate of Eleanor Holm Jarrett and broke training rules soon after their arrival in Berlin. Roy Davis, manager of the boxers, advised that they be sent home, and the American Olympic committee so ordered. The two delinquents were Joe J. Church, featherweight, of Batavia, N. Y., and Howell King, welterweight, of Detroit. Their places on the team were filled by Theodore E. Kara and Chester Rutecki, both of Chicago. GEN. FRANCISCO FRANCO’S rebel forces in Spain, according to late reports, were pressing the government troops seriously

and winning some bloody encounters. This despite the claims of Madrid that the Fascists had been checked. The rebel columns advancing on the capital from the south were reported to be threatening communications be-

*** I b*Xi

*“* tween Madrid and j Gen. Franco the eastern sea . coast at Valencia and Alicante, chief sources of the government’s food supplies. Indeed, it was announced by the insurgent radio sta--1 tion at Seville that the garrison at Valencia had revolted and gone | over to the rebels. Leaders of the insurgents claimed they held Huelva, important seaport, and all the territory between Seville and the Portuguese border. The loyalists directed a strong attack on Saragossa but advices from the front reaching Perpignan, France, said their three columns were ambushed by the rebels in a narrow canyon and lost perhaps 2,000 killed. General Caballero commanded the insurgents in that action. General Franco has been quoted as saying the revolution, when successful, will result in a military dictatorship for the time being. The government, now a red dictatorship, has taken possession of all church property and assumed control of all industry and agriculture. It also has confiscated the merchant marine to form a defense fleet. The loyalists were encouraged by victories in and around San Sebastian. Claude G. Bowers, American ambassador to Spain, was cut oh from communication with the summer quarters of his embassy at San Sebastian for several days, being himself at his summer residence in FuentarVabia, close to the French ! border. He Anally got in touch with the embassy and removed the * staff to his villa. Mr. Bowers also provided safe haven for a number of other foreign diplomats and their families He said he had ascer- : tained that not a single American j had been injured in the civil war | American warships and liners were utilized to evacuate ali the Axnerij cans in ports where their lives were in danger Later Ambassador Bowers and I his staff went aboard the cruiser Cayuga, taking with them some of j the American refugees. C'MPHASIS is placed on smaller scale projects to be completed speedily, in the third building program of the public works administration, which was opened by the allotment of $22,742,034 by President Roosevelt. It includes 352 projects ta 37 states, and the largest of these is a courthouse for New York city to cost the government $4,835,000. The average al- | lotment is only $64,323: Secretary Ickes, PWA administrator, said that, in addition to 45 per cent donation, PWA will lend $2,142,000 to help communities defray their 55 per cent share of the cost. President Roosevelt has or- ! dered that all projects “be comj menced by October 1, 1936. reach a peak by the end of the year and be completed by October 1, 1937.” ' I ONDON new spapers were taught { a severe lesson in fair dealing, jin connection with the case of George McMahon who was arrest-, | ed for menacing King Edward with a revolver recently. The Daily Ex--1 press and the Evening News editors and therr respective proprietors. Lord Beaverbrook and Lord 1 Rothermere, were fined $2,500 each I for contempt of court because the papers printed articles calling McMahon's act an attempt on the king's life, the attorney genera) stating that it was not yet proved to be an attempted assassination, i A movie distributing agency was | fined $250 on the same charge. nr WO MEN were killed and nine * seriously injured when a breechblock blew out in a bow turret of the U. S. S. Marblehead which was engaged in gunnery practice fifty miles off San Diego. The cruiser immediately steamed to port un- | der forced draft. The dead were Leo "Steve Morande, second-class seaman, Eureka, Calif., and Percy William Cofer, boatswain's mate, Washington, Ga.

T 7 NOFFICIALLY, Germany admits that she is re-foptifying Helgoland, the Gibraltar of the North sea which was demilitarized by the treaty of Versailles. The report that the Nazis were taking this action was brought up in the English house of commons and Foreign Secretary Eden said the government did not intend to deal separately with the question, hoping for a fresh effort for European peace “in which Gerfnany would play a full part.” He hinted that Great Britain would let the affair pass without comment as one of Germany’s “minor affronts.” It was believed France would take the same stand. CENATOR VIC DONAHEY of while fishing in Chesapeake bay, was struck by lightning, and painfully but not dangerously injured. The bolt hit and split the mast of his launch, ran along the rail and burned the senator’s hands badly. Another senator, Robert Reynolds of North Carolina, was among a group of tourists who were robbed by bandits near Taxco, Mexico. The victims lost their money, watches and jewelry but were not otherwise abused. IOWA Republicans nominated Bar- * ry Halden of Chariton, editor and American Legion leade*, for : the United States senate seat made | vacant by the death of Louis Murphy. His Democratic opponent is | Guy M. Gillette. The state Farmer-Labor party delegates met in Des Moines and named former Senator Smith Wildman Brookhart as their candidate for the seat. Until recently he has been connected with the New Deal farm organization In Oklahoma’s runoff primary young Representative Josh Lee won the Democratic nomination for United States senator, badly defeating Gov. E. W. Marland. Lee’s Republican opponent is Herbert K. Hyde. CIR HENRY WELLCOME, who was born in a log cabin m Wisconsin 83 years ago and who became one of England’s greatest scientists and explorers, died in London following an operation. His scientific achievements ranged from the establishment of physio--1 logical laboratories to pioneering in the field of archaeological survey through the use of airplanes.. He won the Royal Humane society life saving medal in 1885 and as late as 1927 founded the Lady Stanley Maternity hospital in Uganda, Central Africa. FATHER CHARLES E. COUGHi " LIN, speaking at the home-corn--1 ing celebration for William Lemke at Hankinson, N. D., advised his hearers to repudiate their debts if the Union party candidate were not electea President. “And if anybody tries to enforce them,” he added, “repudiate them also.” This, the priest declared, is the only way out. \4DRE than 100,000 persons stood in silence at Vimy, France, as King Edward VIII of England unveiled the magnificent memorial

uuvcuuvi uiu lUI Krl sßi SB jjP '-x v. __ M King Edward

built by France to commemorate the heroic capture of Vimy Ridge by the Canadian forces in April, 1917. After greeting President Lebrun of France in French, the king said: “We raise this memorial to Canadian warriors. It is an inspired expres-

sion in stone chiseled by a skillful Canadian hand of Canada’s salute to her fallen sons. It marks the scene of feats of arms which history will long remember and Canada can never forget. And the ground it covers is the gift of France to Canada.” The dedication culminated ten years of labor and an expenditure of about $1,000,000 on erection of the memorial. The work was completed after earlier delays in construction because of difficulties in finding the 7,000 to 8,000 tons of special stone required. Walter S. Allward, Toronto archiicct and sculptor who oesigned the monument for the Canadian battlefields memorial commission, supervised the F eparations for the unveiling. rMRECTOR ROBERT FECHNER •-'reports that nearly 13,000 members of the Civilian Conservation Corps left that organization during June to accept private employment, and he said this was largely attributable to the general improvement in business conditions, and in part to the practical education given the men. The exact number discharged in June was 12,995, the largest group to quit since the corps was reduced to a maximum of 350,000. T*HE Queen Mary, Cunard White * Star line’s great liner, set a new transatlantic record in her latest crossing to New York, taking the blue ribbon of the sea from the Normandie of the French line. Her time from Cherbourg breakwater to Ambrose lightship was four days, eight hours and thirtyseven minutes. This beat Normandie’s record by three hours and five minutes, but Queen Mary’s course was somewhat shortei than that taken by her rival, and the latter still holds the speed by hour record. ACCORDING to announcement ** by a Polish news agency which is generally considered to be the mouthpiece of the Polish .'oreign office, an accord has been reached between Berlin and Warsaw on the policies to be followed in the Free City of Danzig. The Nazis are said to have agreed to give explanations that will take the sting out of recent incidents in the city. The texts of notes exchanged between Germany and Poland will be submitted to the League at Nations before being made public. •

Hie films of travel, which carry the vision around the world and back again Eyes Around have vastly the World broadened the horizons of millions of people, and in that respect have proved to be of high value. The opportunities of most people for seeing the world are very limited. The average person in small towns and country places has a very dim idea of the length and breadth of the world, or of the people who live in places remote from him. Today almost every boy and girl can tell yon of the Taj Mahal, or of the Desert of Sahara, or the peaks of the Andes, or of life in remote cities like London, Paris and Constantinople. • • • Mr. Shakespeare informs us that “home-keeping youth have ever homely wits.” But “homely wits” hardly exist when practically all the people of all the civilized countries of the world can, by paying a small price for a seat in a cinema theater look “’round the world and back again.” The camera man has completely replaced the men who used to gc forth and view the world and bring home pictures of it to be thrown on a still screen.

Not only would they vastly broaden the view of many sections of the world, but they could, I should think, be tremen dously useful in teaching such subjects as biology and zoology. An intelligent teachei provided with a moving picture projector and a stock of films would never lack the earnest attention of her pupils.
