The Alamance gleaner VOL. LX. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY MARCH 1, 1934. NO. 4 J News Review of Current Events the World Over King Albert of Belgium, Killed by Fall While Mountain Climbing, Succeeded by Leopold?Three Great Powers Protect Austria. r By EDWARD W. PICKARD ONE of the best and most beloved of the few remaining kings. Al bert I of Belgium, met a tragic death while practicing for his favorite sport, ? 1 1 HUM ll|?. I1C was attempting, alone, to scale a JWVfoot pin nacle near Nnmur and fell, being probably Instantly killed. Hours Inter his body was found nnd carried to Brussels. Queen Eliza beth was 111 and was not told of the king's death for some hours. The Beleian nation ng Leopold waB piunged Id genu ine mourning, and all the world sym pathized, for Albert had won high es teem by his heroism during the World war and his Just government of his people. Albert Is succeeded by Crown Prince Leopold, duke of Brabant, his eldest son. Leopold Is thirty-two years old and was married in 1926 to Princess Astrld of Sweden. They have a daugh ter and a son. The new ruler was probably one of the youngest soldiers In the W6rld war, enlisting as a pri vate when he was thirteen years old. He was treated as an ordinary soldier, seeing active service In the trenches, and was a sergeant when the armistice was signed. The dead king's funeral was of course a stately affair. The procession from the Brussels palace to the cathe dral of St. Gudule was led by mounted gendarmes who were followed by British, Italian and French troops. Then came the Belgian troops with crepe-draped flags. Albert's personal /?r?1nrs vppo rorrled Inst nhonri nf th#? gun carriage that bore the casket, and his favorite charger followed, the sad dle empty and field boots reversed in the stirrups. Next- walked Crown Prince Leopold, his brother, Charles, and their brother-in-law. Crown Prince Umberto of Italy, the latter carefully guarded by police because of the at tempt to assassinate him In Brussels In 1929. In the throng of notable persons In the processions were representatives of all nations. Ambassador Morris was there for the United States; Pres ident Lebrun and Premier Doumergue headed the large French delegation; from England were the prince of Wales, Field Marshal Lord Allenby and Admiral Sir Roger Keyes; Ger many was represented by Dr. Fried rich von Keller, and Poland by Ignatz PaderewskL Next day Leopold was crowned, with Astrld on the throne beside him. The parliamentary reply to the new ruler's speech from the throne thanked the new queen for having given birth to two children, insuring the perma nence of the dynasty. CAPT. ANTHONY EDEN is mov ing from capital to capital in En rope on the rather hopeless mission of reviving the disarmament negotiations. in raris ne was ioju by the seven big men of the French cabinet that France was un willing to reduce her military power while the Nazi menace con tinues, and the French government had al ready coldly refused to discuss the matter with Hitler "while vrcruiauy is rearm- . .. _ , log." Concessions re- n Cn^ cent ly offered to the German chancel lor had been met with Inconclusive arguments, and with demands for a German army of 300,000 effectives, which France rejected. The most the French statesmen would say was that they "looked forward In a most gen eral manner toward the possibility of an international accord, equally hoped for by both parties on the question of disarmament." Discouraged hut persistent. Captain Eden went on to Berlin and Rome for further conversations based on the British plan for reduction of arma ments. Ft tit the time l>elng the danger of a European war arising from the Aus trian Socialist rebellion Is over. Great Britain. France and Italy have united to safeguard Austria s lnde|>en0ence, and while that holds no other nation dare attack, lent conversations were held In I'aris by* British Ambassador I ord Tyrrell. ITomler Doumergue. For eign Minister I anils Itarthou. (apt. An thony Helen. British lord privy seal, and representatives of Italy, and the outcome was this statement to the world: 'The Austrian government has In quired of the governments of France, Great Britain and Italy as to their at titude with regard to a dossier which it prepared with a view of establishing German Interference In the Internal affairs of Austria and communicated to them. The conversations which have taken place between the three governments on this subject have shown they take a common view as to the necessity of maintaining Austria^ independence and integrity in accord ance with the relevant treaties." This pronouncement was proposed by Premier Mussolini, who seeks to keep Austria Intact as a buffer state between Naziisra and Fascism. It is, of course, directed to Hitler, who hopes that the government of Chancel lor Dollfuss may be overthrown, if not by force, then in elections. SENTIMENT in favor of the imme diate payment of the veterans' bonus is so strong among the Demo crats in the house that the promise or a veto by the Pres ident did not deter 145 representatives from signing a petition to take the Patman hill from the committee and bring it up for a vote on March 12. Speaker Itainey had been to the White House and returned with this message: "I am authorized by the President to say that this is not the time to pay the bonus and that he cannot approve any legislation to that effect'* Wright Patman Iiut the members went right on sign ing. Mr. Rainey was visibly disturbed, but said, in reply to inquiries. "We're going to let the house do Just as it pleases." Wright Patinan of Texas, Democrat, author of the bill, told the house the measure would provide the administra tion with the mechanism for carrying out the Inflationary program it al ready has embraced, and that it would save the government billions of dol lars in interest It seemed most likely that the bill would be passed by the house, and it may also get through the senate, for the sentiment for It has been steadily growing in that body. ONLY seven members of the house voted In the negative when the $258,000,000,000 tax revision bill came up for passage. It is expected the senate will make many alterations in the measure for the purpose of fur llier joruiyiiig iiitr smiuies uguingl evasion. Of principal interest to the average taxpayer is the bill's readjustment of the income tax rate structure to pro vide a new normal rate of 4 per cent and surtaxes starting at 4 per cent on net Income ahove $4,000 and rang ing in graduated brackets to 59 per cent on Incomes of $1,000,000 or more. The new tax rates, however, will not be effective on 103.3 Incotnes. Generally the bill Is designed to prevent such tax evasion methods as were disclosed during the recent In vestigations of the senate banking and currency committee Into stock market practices. JUSTICE finally has caught np with Roger Touhy of Chicago and two members of Ids notorious gang. Their second trial for the kidnaping of John Fgctor ended In a verdict of guilty, the Jury fixing the penalty at 99 years One Charles W. Mayo of Alabama, with an accomplice, devised a fantas tic plot for the kidnaping of E. P. Adler, banker and publisher of Daven port, Iowa, from a Chicago hotel. Both were caught and confessed, and then Mayo hanged himself In his cell. The "snatching ' garni? appears iu ?uvui . played out. OFFICIALS of St. Paul and Minne apolis were considerably angered by a statement made by Attorney Gen eral Homer S. Cummlngs in which he said the Twin cities were "breeding grounds of crime." Mayor Mahoney of St. Paul telegraphed to Mr. Cum mings demanding that he amplify his charges, but the attorney general's only reply was to say that he meant what he said. Thereupon the mayor gave the Ramsey county attorney a list of twelve persons. Including Mr. Cummings, whom he wished asked to appear before the grand jury, which is now In session. It was said legal com plications probably would prevent the subpoenaing of the attorney general and other national officials. . ACCORDING to the farm adminis tration, 400,000 farmers had signed contracts to reduce their pro duction of hogs and corn this year. Most of these contracts were executed by Middle West farmers. In other states the campaign is Just getting well started. Iowa leads with a total of 150,000 contracts, representing more than SO per cent of corn and hog pro ducers in that state. Figures for oth er stares are: Illinois. 47,000; Mis souri, 42.000; Nebraska, 22,000; Kan sas, 19.000; Minnesota, 50,000; Indiana, r0,000; Ohio, 25.000; Wisconsin, 15,000, and South Dakota, 15,000. FUAXCK was stirred by a mystery murder that is connected with the $00,000,000 Stnvisky scandal. Albert Prince, counselor of the Court of Ap peals and the key witness in the Sta visky case, was lured from Paris and slain and his body was tied to a rail road track near Dijon and mangled by a train. In the same connection, the Paris police announced they had discovered evidence that Stavisky was an inter national spy as well us a swindler; that he was aided by a number of women, and probably had sold valu- ' able information to the German gov- i ernmeut. A S THR fighting planes of the American army, with their guns ' removed, began carrying the air mail over routes formerly covered by pri- j vine air line compa nies, the senate com- 1 m 111 ee investigating air mail contracts re- i sumed Its inquiry. ' The main witness was Walter F. Iiro w n, postmaster general under President 1 loo- j ver, who has been ac cused by his succes- ' sor of collusion and fsivr?riti<m In ti.a l,.t. I Colonel ting tl]e contracts. ! Lindbergh Mr i?rown had de nied the charges in a long statement j and in appearing before the committee ) he waived the immunity which general- ' ly shields a congressional witness from subsequent prosecution. At the hearing Mr. Brown again 1 denied the accusations in detail, but made admissions that were not fa vorable to the defense. Colonel Lindbergh, more or less In- | volved in the air mail affair, gave to the senate investigators a statement cf his aviation profits, as follows: 1. From sale of warrants to pur- j chase stock In the Pan-American Air- I ways, $150,SS4.S0. 2. Salary from Pan-American, $10, 000 a year. 3. Salaries of $7.194.4.") in 1931 and $0,000 in 1932 and 1933 froin Trans continental and Western Air. 4 l'rom Trjuisrnntin*mf5)l AirTrnna- I port (predecessor to Transcontinental ? and Western Air), $250,000 in cash.

A $10,000 a year salary as tech nical adviser to the Pennsylvania rail road for three years and a $1 a year salary since 1931. Losses: $554.75 from investments In i other aviation companies prior to 1930. i Gen. augusto sandino, for years the leader of rebels in Nica ragua until a year ago when he made peace with President Sacasa, was mur dered by members of the national guard at Managua. I lis brother and two of his aides also were killed. The crime was denounced by Sacasa and an Investigation was ordered, for the | government had guaranteed the lives of Sandino and his followers while in j tbr capital.

BEDTIME oTORY FOR CHILDREN By THOR.?'TON W. BURGESS PETER AND N1MBLEHEELS COMPARE TAILS DETER RABBIT always has been 1 Interested In tails, lie Just can't help It Ton see, he hasn't much of a tall himself, so when he meets anyone whose tall Is short he always has a friendly feeling. And when he meets one with a long tail be always Is a wee bit envious. Peter Is like a great many people In that he always wants what he hasn't got For the life of him Peter couldn't keep his eyes away from the toil of Nimbleheels the JumplDg Mouse. It was the longest tall for the size of Its owner that Peter ever had seen. It was more than twice as long as the body of NlmbleheeU, and It was shm and tapering. As be looked at It Peter couldn't help wondering how It was pos3ible for Nimbleheels to make such very big jumps when he had to take such a long tall as that with him. It was this which led him at last to ask Nimbleheels if that tail didn't bother him when he Jumped. "Certainly not,' declared Nimble heels very emphatically. "If I didn't have such a long tall I wouldn't be able to make such long jumps." Peter looked as surprised as he felt. "For goodness sake!" he exclaimed. "What has your tall got to do with your jumping? I'm a pretty good Jumper myself, or thought I was until I met you, but my tall doesn't have anything to do with my Jumping." Nimbleheels laughed. It was n funny, thin, high, squeaky, little laugh. "No," said he, "I shouldn't think It could have much to do with your Jumping." Peter grinned and looked over his shoulder at the funny little bunch of cotton he calls a tall. "No," he agreed, "It isn't much as talis go, and It isn't of any use in Jumping. All the same It Is very useful and I don't know how I would get along without it." Nimbleheels pricked up his ears and looked interested. "Is that really so?" He asked. "I never for a minute Im agined that such a tall could be use ful. Of what use Is It, pray?" "As a guide when I am showing my youngsters the way about outside the dear Old Brier Batch/* replied Peter promptly. "They can see that white tall of mine when they can't see any thing else, and so they keep from get ting lost. It really Is very useful In this respect. 1 don't know what J would do without It. But you haven't told me yet how you use that long tail of yours In Jumping." Nimbleheels chuckled. "Oh," said he, "I just carry It along behind me.' Peter looked at Nimbleheels sharply He suspected that he was being made fun of. "Where else would you carry it, I'd like to know?" said lie. "And that," continued Nimbleheels snapping his bright little eye, *'!s why 1 can jump straight. It is my tall that gives me my balance In the air. If anything should happen to It I would never know where I was going to land or how. I once saw one of my family who lost his tail, ft really was dreadful to see the poor fellow try to jump. He would turn over and over In the air, sometimes land right on his back. 1 wouldn't have anything hap pen to my tall for the world." v "It Is rather important. Isn't It?' said Peter, staring at that long tall with great respect "I should think you would take the very greatest care of it." "I do," replied Nimbleheels. ?. T. W. BurRPM.?WNU Service.

How Welsh Quarry Workers Return to the Village WORKKltS at the Craig Dhu slate quarries near Merioneth. Wales, return to the village after their day's labor on Ingenious trolleys.

THROUGH A ^X4>man/s Eyes By JEAN NEWTON MARITAL BRAKES A CHICAGO Judge who has had 40, ** 000 cases of marital disputes be fore hirn and reconciled 2,000 of the couples, feels that .be knows something about why people go to the divorce courts and?more Important?how they can be kept out of them. At the bottom of most marital un happlness, this Judge Sabath of Chi cago finds, are trivialities. "Such a simple thing as a wife waving good by to her husband when he goes to work in the morning would avert a good many divorces," he says. And most Important among all his conclusions. Is the conviction that "most people want to do the right thing." Therefore the usual, trivial causes of trouble can be defeated by Just observing n few simple rules: Here they are: 1. Have patience with each other. 2. Work together, play together, grow up together. 3. In all disputes avoid excited talk. 4. Do not conceal little differences until they accumulate to the breaking point; discuss tbem calmly. 5. I5e frank with each other. 0. Sympathy and mutunl understand ing are the pillars of the home. 7. Share responsibilities. 8. establish a home of your own. U. Make your bedtime prayers a review of the day and never go to sleep without a clean slate. Certainly these are all very simple things, -and none of the rules Is Rtart llngly new. If they are the answer to marital peace and happiness, and most of us will readily agree, why are they Individually not more frequently observed? Doubtless because they are simple I enough and seem easy enough while everything Is going smoothly, it Is when they are most needed, however when there Is resentment and dlssen tlon and hotheadedness, that these simple remedies are not so easy to observe. It Is like telling a vehicle that Is rolling rapidly down hill to be reasonable In turning the corner. That, you may say, Is what we have brakes for. And that Is exactly how married people should use such a set of rules?as brakes, when they feel things going down bill. Once they stop you, the rest Is simple enough. What they tell you to do Is really what you want to do. It's the stop ping to think about It that Is the big thing. ?. Bell Syndicate.?WNU Service.
