' 'BRISBANE THIS WEEK 21,720 Miles in 18 Days Some Ladies* Hats Gen. Butler's Peace Plan 12 Ladies Good and True H. R. Ekins, first - class news- i paper man, has gone around the ^ globe by airplane. covering 24.720 miles in 18 ^ . V days. 14 hours, ... ? . . romantic than Arthur llri?h:iuc , XT ,, . the Nelly B1 y seventy-odd day trip that beat Jules j Veine's "Around the World in Eighty Days." Nelly Bly, clever newspaper woman, knew how to make it interesting, going out of hei way to travel by elephant, camel, jinrickshas, etc. Flying around the world costs about $5,000. Some day some woman, let us hope, will b a 1 a r c e her fashion budeetdecide> iiict whn> cJm? to wear, and then wear it. as men have done, but the day is far away. These are some of the hats from which your wife, daughter, sister will choose this season: Hats shaped like East Indian war shields; hats heavy in gold em- I broidery; flat pillbox turbans, gold braided; Russian style hats off the face, with tall tiara fronts; hats of Persian lamb and embroidered felt; j small toques, dipped down front and back, covered with soft feathers, "the military touch predominating." Why, do you suppose, do women take so much trouble to spoil faces and heads naturally beautiful? It cannot ail be the fault of hatmakers. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, retired fighting major general of the United States marines, asks the Women's Christian Temperance union to start a campaign against drunken automobile drivers, and also help peace by working for a constitu- j tional amendment forbidding the President or congress to send troops j out of the country. You cannot change men by legislation. as was discovered in our prohibition mistake; you must change the men from the inside. For the first time in history, New Jersey, selecting a jury all women, I has surprised some, annoyed others. ! Why? For ages women have been judged and sentenced by individual men or groups of men. They have been ducked, brand od with irons, put in the stocks, beheaded, hanged, burned alive. Is there injustice in turning the thing around for a change; at least no twelve women would burn or duck anybody. Lloyd's, British insurance concern, will insure you against anything happening, if it "guesses" that it will not happen; it usually guesses correctly. It refuses to insure against war striking England, although until lately the charge for that insurance was only one-fifth of one per cent; 200 pounds for 100,000 pounds insurance. Somebody in Lloyd's possesses intelligence. That big organization does not like to think of war with airplanes added. Newsfromthe East interests Americans: they might have to pay the bill. Japan and Russia, supposed | recently to be on the verge of war, are said to have an understanding about things in the east that would | involve depriving the British of prof- j itable locations and rights. This does i not please Britain, but that is the ! business of Japan, Russia and England. Interesting flying item: Russia orders in Baltimore a passenger "clipper" plane, to cost $1,000,000 and carry forty-four passengers, besides a crew of six. The plane, very fast, can go 4,000 miles without taking on fuel, a range that would bring it across the Atlantic nicely, if it ever wanted to come back with a load of explosives instead of passengers. England and France no longer guarantee any piotection for Belgium in case of war, so the new King, Leopold, says all alliances are off, with France, England anH everybody else.

A Cwwym N REVIEW^ hi] Sdwu/ui ID. t Western News; Edward May Abdicate to Marry Mrs. Simpson \ f ERE scandal and gossip have -* no proper place in this department, but the "affaire Simp- 3 son," as the French would term it, j m *las progressed until i assumes world I Sgifk Tftl importance. As ar ? rangements are be- c r' E ing mode for the j. quiet and uncontest- j ed divorce of Mrs. L - 8 "Wally" Simpson, ^ American friend of j r < King Edward VIII of p ' England, it is ru- s v : mored in London so- r J.<v .. , , cietv circles that the .. King Edward bachelor monarc|, J will abdicate in favor of his brother, v the Duke of York, and marry the attractive woman who has shared j so much of his time in recent months. In support of this rumor F is the reported fact that plans are c being made for renting the farms c of the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, which is the king's private property. Aiso, there is a story v that this estate may be sold to the s Aga Khan, the immensely wealthy spiritual head of the Ismaili sect o of Mohammedanism. I Should Edward give up the throne, 4 it would eventually be occupied by s Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter s of the Duke of York, and this sue- li cession would be decidedly popular j; with the people of England. The t abdicating king might revert to the rinkerlnm r?f fY?rn\*-nll vi'les a net income of about $350,000. There is nothing in British law to prevent the king from marrying 4 whomsoever he pleases, but no ruler ot the country since Henry VIII has li wedded a commoner. Court gossip S in London says that Prime Minister 1 Baldwin and the archbishop of Can- r terbury recently appealed to Ed- i ward for greater discretion in his ? relations with Mrs. Simpson and s were hotly rebuffed by the king. * English newspapers imposed on * themselves a voluntary censorship * in tins affair, but it has been broken c by the Sunday Referee which prints ^ an article declaring the king "may A marry by spring," that this would r result in postponement of the coro- r nation, and that tradesmen have s been insuring themselves against * such a delay. * c Japan "Not Fortifying" Isles Under Mandate t pOR some time there have ap- r * peaped in print stories about s how Japan was establishing air and submarine bases in the former Ger- g man islands of the South Pacific ? over which she holds a League of * Nations mandate. It has been ex- ^ pected that the league's mandate commission would investigate these \ reports, and now Japan seeks to forestall such action by a formal report to the league in which she x asserts she has "no fortifications, c military or naval bases" in those v islands. The Tokio government says ' it is scrupulously observing that part of the mandate which forbids r the use of the islands for military ? purposes. Following establishment of a j south seas bureau in April, 1932, all , Japanese armed forces and men of ' war have been withdrawn gradually from the islands, the report says, adding that the natives of the is- ' lands never have been subjected 1 to military training. s Five Groups Accused by ? Trade Commission /"CHARGES filed in Washington by c ' the federal trade commission accuse five trade associations of at- j tempting to corner the automobile ? parts and accessories business. The e groups, which were ordered to show : cause why they should not be com- r pelled to cease their alleged com- v bine, are the National Standard Parts association, Detroit; the Motor and Equipment Wholesale association, Chicago; the Automotive * Trade associations of Greater Kan- I sas City, Mo.; Mississippi Valley 1 Automotive Jobbers association and * the Southwestern Jobbers associa- 1 tion. Their officials also are de- 1 fendants in the suit. c The commission points out that i the associations represent a "sub- i stantial proportion of the total vol- 1 ume of business of all manufactur- \ ers ancLjobbers of automobile parts i and accessories throughout the United States." The commission c charges that these groups "have ? combined together with others joint- t ly, preventing the establishment of 1 new and additional competitors," \ out, Murphy, N. C.. Thu taper Union. ind with "executing certain agreenents and conspiracies among hemselves and with others." Blum Warns Socialists of Republic's Danger [> ADICAL Socialists are threaten^ ing to quit the "Popular Front" [overnment of France because of liscord with Communists, and they lave been warned by Premier Leon Hum that the one condition whereinder the life of the republic can le prolonged is that the Popular "ront "remain united." In an iddress to the radical leaders, Blum aid a split in the coalition govcrnnent would force his immediate esignation, and that dissolution of he parliament and new elections t'ould result. Monarchists of Austria, who would ike to make Archduke Otto emicror, were encouraged by a speech lelivered by Chancellor Kurt Schushnigg in which, defying the little ntente, he shouted: "No outsider, but only Austrians till decide whether the monarchy hall be restored!" The day of a plebiscite to decide n the question of restoration of the lapsburg claimant to the throne is 'not yet in sight," the chancellor aid. But. with P rinpnee islcr of Archduke Otto, listening, le declared that monarchist propa;anda has a "proper place" in Ausrian life. 1 New Gold Standard" rried by Uncle Sam 'IT IS a new gold standard, way of doing business which las never been tried before," was iecretary Morgenthau's characterzation of the agree- t nent just entered "?9Sk : nto by the United ST hales. Great Brit- ? lin and France, El thereby, subject to v 1 - hours' cancella- . ion, they will ex- a hange gold for each wiKr- a ither's currencies. financiers, econo- EA M nists and business H jk mM nen were taken by urprise by the _ Secretary nove and immedi- Morgenthau itely gave it close study. Some were lisposed to label the maneuver "poitical expediency," but experts gen irally said it was a logical step in he sequence of monetary events but lot positively in the direction of tabilization. The new plan, Mr. Morgenthau laid, differs from the old gold stand-1 ird in that it will permit the export r earmarking of gold only to and >etween governments instead of >rivate business institutions and raders. "The door is wide open," said Jr. Morgenthau. "We're not going lut drumming up business, but we'll veleome all other countries which vant to participate." According to the Treasury departnent, the United States alone will tnnounce a selling price for gold. 1o More Army Chaplains, Say Disciples of Christ T\: : ?t r . iiu 01 unrisi, in an- ! -* nual international convention n Kansas City, voted to send no nore of the church's ministers to ;erve as chaplains in the United itates army. The resolution adopt;d also asked the Federal Council >f Churches "to sever its connecion with the war system by disiolving its chaplaincy commission" tnd "to provide a non-military minstry of religion to men in the irmed services at the church's own expense and under their own authorty without involving the Church of Christ in any alliance whatsoever vith the state or the military sys ?? em. Nineteen Die When Ship Sinks in Lake Erie CMGHTEEN men and one woman perished in the waters of Lake Crie when the Canadian ship Sand Merchant foundered off Cleveland luring a gale. Seven men, includng the captain, were picked up ifter clinging to life boats for eleven tours. The woman who was lost vas the wife of the first mate, who tlso drowned. Northern Italy was shaken by earthquake shocks that were felt is far away as Jugoslavia and Ausria. Twenty persons were killed >y tumbling walls, and thirty other* vere injured. irsday, October 29, 1936 Samuel Mer.vin, Ncvc.'ut, Dies Suddenly DEATH came suddenly and un expcctedly to Samuel Merwin, one of the well-known contemporary American novelists. He succumbed to a heart attack in the Players' club in New York. Mr. Merwin, who was sixty-two years old, wrote, among other books, "Anthony the Absolute," "The Passionate Pilgrim," "Hills of Han," "Silk," and "Bad Penny." He was associate editor of Success magazine from 1905 to 1909 and editor the following two years. Coast Maritime Workers May Decide to Strike AUTHORITY of the national '^m'britime commission to declare a permanent truce in current contract controversies is challenged by the negotiating committee for the Pacific coast maritime unions, and members of those unions are instructed to vote on a proposal for a coast-wide waterfront strike. The maritime commission had peremptorily demanded that the Pacific coast ports be kept open . while it sent an investigator to San Francisco to discuss the conditions ' which have long threatened to bring . on industrial warfare. In telegrams to President Franklin Roosevelt and the commission, the committee said the commission had caused "great unrest" among the workers through its participation in negotiations between shipowners and dock and shipboard em- j ployees. Russia Using Spanish War to Foment Discord SOVIET RUSSIA made a second ^ determined effort to aid the beleaguered government of Spain, and sustained a second rebuff. Ivan Maisky, Russian ambassador to England, handed to Lord Plymouth, British chairman of the non-inter- J vention committee, a virtual ultimatum demanding immediate convocation of the committee to consider blockading the coast of Por tugal against arms shipments destined for the Spanish insurgents. It was understood in London that Lord Plymouth replied that if the proposition were seriously made, it should be presented through diplomatic channels to the governments concerned. The Hussian plan was for a blockade by English of French warships. Observers in Europe are convinced that the Soviet government does not expect the powers to agree to any such blockade as is suggested, but is chiefly interested in stirring up discord. Leaders of the Fascists were reported to have planned a steady, steam-roller advance on Madrid, and this offensive was already under way. The defenders of the capital were hastily building fortifications .in the suburbs and surrounding tin city with trenches. Belgium Drops Alliances and Will Be Neutral D ELGIUM, which since the close *-* of the World war has been tied tight to France by a military afliance, has decided to drop that and all similar alliances and to rely for her P* safety on strict neuW"' trality and a larger l 9 army. King Leopold **9 so informed the cabr inet, telling the minS. ?*j isters that G e r1ft' . ?iiar manv'sreonrunatinr. S JjL of the Rhineland V "Practically puts us back where we were " ' before the great King Leopold Belgium', geographical position, he said, "makes it imperative for us to maintain a military machine of such size as to dissuade any neighbor from using our territory to attack another state." The period c" military service was extended from 12 to 18 months. "Belgium must pursue a policy exclusively and wholly Belgian," Leopold said. "In any case our engagements should not go beyond keeping off war from our own territory. Belgium must remain outside of its neighbors' conflicts. "Any policy of alliance with a single country would weaken our position abroad. A purely defensive alliance would not meet the case because, however prompt the intervention of our ally, it would only come after the invader's blow, which would be crushing." Only America Lags in Naval Construction C1 IGURES made public by the 1 American Navy department show that since July 1 last every great naval power except the United States has increased the number and tonnage of its war vessels. In the 2M> months from July 1 to September 15, the United States reduced the number of its ships from 324 vessels totaling 1,080,715 tons to 306 vessels, totaling 1,062,871 tons. The "Kid" Began to H Suspect Someone Hi At the end of the second round 'I in a boxing bout, the "BatUhj IB Kid" staggered to this corner t*j. ly bruised by his opponent's bio,, Hy: His manager shouted in his ear' "Keep it up Kid, he hasn't laid > H glove on you yet." & The manager repeated the cheerful advice at the end ol the H next two rounds although the H "Kid" looked worse , 'ter each en.
