Russia, according t< I l<?yd Ceoru?Is
the world's real Hying nation
possesses. probably. The world greatest
fighting air licet. It icertainly
the country tliar takes flying
most seriously, with s.imhmwmi
Russians trained in aeronautics, young
Russian irirls learning t > pi'ot planes
and dirigibles and make 'JOPMl-fool
parachute jumps, as our yojjp^ girl- ,
learn new dune* steps.
This makes important Russia's a?t
nouf\cement that slie is manutaetur
log airplauos on a mass production I
? basis, using for air power "an ordi
nary light automobile engine." Tlx
planes, very cheap, usim: ordinary
gasoline, will be supplied i<- toiler
tive farms. Russia may be tlx* tir-i
nation to d?- With llyitii: machinewhat
this country did with autonie
biles. American genius put this na 1
tion an wheels. If Uu-sian engi !

A young man i< found strangely 1
murdered, or committing suicide in *
an unusual way banging from a low <
mis legs wore fastened befit n 1 '
his hark with chains, chains were
around his hands and nock, and n '
modal that ho hail won in an nth
letic contest was lustcned with a .
<afety pin to one of his nostrils, j
The man, thirty ??ne. who hail hoon j
oat ployed in moving pictures as a
substitute for actors under danger t
ous conditions, is believed by police ,
to have killed himself ir. a strange ,
way, through vanity. ,
Police quote a superstition of cor
tain Malays who believe that evi (
spirits carry off their souls If they (
kill themselves. When they commit J
suicide they exhaust their ingenuity (
In efforts to die in such a fashion
as to make suicide seem Impossible
that the spirits after inspection may <
decide that the dead man was mur ' '
dered and leave his soul In peace. s
During prohibition, the habit or i
drunkenness was acquired by many,
particularly young women. They
yield more easily than men to the
effects of alcohol and drugs, and
once "caught" they are caught for
life, usually.
American fathers and mothers that
tgive cocktail parties for their sons
and daughters, or permit them in
their houses, should be told plainly
that they are using their money to
make drunkards of the daughters
and sons, and are not tit to have, or ,
bring up. children. (
In addition to moving CiO.noo more i
soldiers to the (Jermnn lines. France t
is hurriedly connecting her steel and t
concrete line of fortresses, with barbed t
wire entanglements and trenches. Tliir s
ty thousand soldiers are digging in as i
you read. c
The French apparently expect the 1
same old thing over again, but they
will not see it. Nations in the next i
war will not squat in trenches, but will <
fly against the enemy nation's chief J
I cities and kill an impressive number ol
citizens with poison explosives and gas. '
Nothing will be more lonesome than 1
a front line trench in the next war. 1
The latest news indicates that Chan
cellor Hitler is not as anxious for "war *
In a hurry" as was alleged. *
Sir John Simon, for England, re j
ceived trom Hitler a written proposal j
First. a ten-year nonaggression
treaty with Germany's neighbors, nobody
to attack anybody else.
""Second, a pledge to withhold eco
nomic and financial assistance from
any nation starting a war.
Hitler wrote that, and, if he mean*
It, Lloyd George is correct in his state
roent: "Not this time."

SKXATOR GKRAI-D P. NYK'S munitions
committee, which has spent
(even months investigating the doings
>f the manufacturers of arms and
armament, reported to
;the senate its measure
designed to take

Senator Nye ., .

ill industry and control raw mateials.
It also has taxation features
hat will arouse considerable opposiion.
It would raise individual income
axes to (? per cent in wartime, levy
airtaxes up to 04 per cent on incomes^
u excess of $10,00(1. and seize profits
>f corporations in excess of (i per cent
eturn on invested capital.
The Nye bill gives the President
eery broad powers to fix prices of
rommodities, to license industry, to enjoin
profiteering and to prevent the
hoarding of goods. It provides for
he drafting of industrial leaders, who
vould be permitted to remain with
[heir companies, subject to military
aw
Meanwhile the house military affairs
:ommittee reported the McSwain bill, j
similar to the senate measure but
without the tax features. This lack
made the more radical members angry j
but when they tried to amend the bill
they were routed, 258 to 71.
The Nye senate committee, after re
porting its bill, continued its inquiry.
It heard a rather sensational bit of
evidence to the effect that Roger S.
McGrath, an insurance company agent
who was described as a friend of the
President's son, James, had sought sue- |
cessfully to obtain two naval building
contracts for the Bath Iron Works up
