^ appeal for extension of the NKA,
in the course of whieh he took all the
blame for its failures, may have been
effective, for it was reported that a
considerable majorit> of the senate
finance committee was in favor of continuing
the life of the P.lue Fugle organization.
Three of the members, all
Democrats, were listed as absolutely
against prolongation of the recovery
act, but most of the others favored
such a course, provided various alterations
are made. The committee had
under consideration a bill inrrodm ed
by Senator Pat Harrison, designed, be
said, to stimulate discussion. The hottest
battle will come on the door of
the senate.
GERMANY was thoroughly enraged
by the action of the League of Nations
council In adopting the tri-power
resolution condemning the reich for
violating the treaty of
Versailles by rearming.
and it was expected
Ueichsfuerher Hit- V' .
ler would make a do & i
fiant retort. As a first
step he sent from his Vi ' 1MB
bavarian retreat in
structions to Secretary fe: .
of State Von Ruelow I
to protest "England's
defection at Stresa and
Geneva." This Von
Ruelow did, delivering Adolf Hitler
the message to Ambassador Sir Eric
Phipps for transmission to London.
Then, on his forty-sixth birthday,
came the roiehsfuerher's defiance of the
league, in the form of n-hot I
- ? '?- ?" ??? \
foreign o J lice called a "short but determined
note." Here It is, as made
public in Rome:
"The German government contests
to the governments which in the council
of the League of Nations took, in
the deliberation of April 17, the right of
making themselves judges over Germany
The government sees in the de |
liberation of the council of the league
an attempt at new discriminations
against Germany and therefore rejects ;
it in the most resolute manner. The j
government reserves the right to make \
known soon 'ts position on different :
questions touched upon in the deliberation."
This note did not seem to impress
greatly the statesmen in Ix>ndon. I'aris
and Rome, but it mightily pleased Hitler's
followers. They celebrated their j
leader's natal day with gusto and preseated
to him a fleet of about sixty war j
planes bought with popular coiitribu

the Republican party must openly and
vigorously attack the "fallacies of the
New Deal."
Mr. White explained the conception
of the regional meeting of eleven midwestern
states to he held in Kansas
next month and said that the amount
of Interest aroused among Republicans
throughout the country was surprising, j
Such a regional meeting could do noth- |
ing more than write a creed and stir
up the electorate to right thinking, he j
declared, adding:
"Confronted with new conditions, the '
Republican party must face this situa- j
tion and write a platform that will be
constructive and give promise of carry- j
ing out In a sane way the things needed
to restore constitutional government."

in their convention in
Washington, had their usual exciting
and hotly contested election for pres- j
ident general. The candidates were !
Mrs. William A. Decker of New Jersey I
and Mrs. Flora Myers Gillentine of
Tennessee, and the former won by a j
vote of l.l'hl to Gil). Mrs. Becker was J
attacked by her opponents because she
had endorsed "The Red Network." a
book in which Mrs. Franklin i>. Roosevelt,
Secretary of Labor Perkins and
other members of the administration
are listed as Reds.

Fgyptians of the upper Nile and
afterward assimilated incursions ol"
the Hebrews at the time of the
Fgyptian capiivity: the Phenicians,

Old Rocker Distinctly
an American Invention
There is oue style of chair that
is thoroughly American?the rocker.
assorts a writer in the Cleveland
Plain 1 'ealer. Tor a long time
furniture men credited P.cnjamin
Franklin with having invented it,
until some one dug up a bill for
"rebo!touting a rocking chair" thirteen
years prior to the existence
of the Franklin chair.
The rocker was introduced in
Europe from the United States in
1MO.
Curiously enough rockers were
quite the thing in theater boxes 7.".
years ago. Lincoln was seated in
a rocker the night lie was assasnr
Ford's theater. The
style of rocker was therefore copied
and known as the Lincoln
rocker.
While the rocker has gone out of
style more or less, the Colonial
rocker is still being manufactured.

Chowchow, "One Man" Dog;
May Be Native of China
Notably loyal ami devoted to his
master, the cliowchow is often spn!
ken of as a "one man*' dog, says a
I writer in the Los Angeles Times.
To strangers, the handsome face
I of this lion-headed, dignified and
I iMvverful creature, wears a scowl.
It means "no nonsense" and is in
tended to deter one from undue familiarity.
He will make up his own
mind irrespective of any advances.
To friends, however, his expression
is kindness itself.
His plumed tail is held very tightly
over the beautiful thick-coated
bark when the dog is happy, but
S lowered when he is frightened. His
movement, a stiff and rolling gait,
I due to unusual straight ness of his
| hinds legs, which do not bend at the
j liork. is ftcctiliar to the breed, as
i are also the characteristic blue
i tongues, almond-shaped eyes, cati
like feet, strong cobby bodies and
an inscrutable oriental appearance.
Almond eyes may or may not be
{ responsible for the claims ??f many
authorities that China is his nativity.
The breed, however, was foreign
t?? China, being the outcome of
Siberian sledge dogs and the Tibetan
mastiff.
Gradually drifting southward
from the colder regions, he became
known in northern China as early
as 800 I*. C., when all dogs were divided
into three classes, hunting
dogs, watch dogs and edible dogs.
It was In*o this last category that
the fate of the cliow was placed.
