Western Newspaper Union Municipal Bankruptcy Act Held Invalid FIVE Justices of the United States Supreme court held Invalid the mu nicipal bankruptcy act of 1934, declar ing It to be an unwarranted Invasion of state sovereignty. Four Justices dis sented, these being Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Stone, Brandels and Cardozo. The majority opinion was written by Justice James C. Mc Reynolds. The case was brought by bondholders of a water Improvement district In Texas. The municipal bankruptcy act was designed to permit cities and other po litical subdivisions which found them selves In financial straits to effect a composition, with the approval of two thirds of the bondholders or other creditors, whereby the Indebtedness could be readjusted, scaled down, or, as Mr. Justice McBeynolds put It, "re pudiated." Frank Lowden May Be Republican Nominee "FRANK O. LOWDEN of Illinois " will be the choice of the Repub lican convention for President If he will accept the nomination." Frank O. Lowden That was the confi dent prediction of a po litical observer who is usually well informed and close to sources of national party news. He declared there was a steadily growing de mand from many parts of the Union for the nomination of the for mer governor of Illi nois, who always has been p o pu 1 a r with farmer* and whose qualities of statesmanship are recog nized generally throughout the coun try.

The house had finished Its work and was waiting for the senate to act on the relief and tax measures. The committees had so revised those bills that It was thought opposition would be greatly lessened. Senator Harrison's finance committee contrived a tax bill estimated to pro duce $626,000,000 In new permanent revenue, which Is $6,000,000 more than the President asked for. Tentatively the committee agreed to levy a process ing tax of one- half cent per pound on sugar, which would yield $66,000,000. and to retain a provision of the house bill designed to induce liquidation of corporations and bring In $33,000,000 In additional income taxes. There was a prospect of adding still another $40, 000,000 to the permanent revenue by removing the existing $40,000 estate tax exemption on estates of $100,000 or more. This would make a total o? $666, 000,000, In new permanent revenue, $46,000,000 more than that of the house bill, bat the senate bill also Included $100,000,000 In temporary rev enue from the so-called "windfall" pro vision to confiscate unpaid and re funded processing taxes, and retained the $168,000,000 now produced by the excess profits and capital stock taxes.

Final plans for delivering the bonds to the veterans were announced by Postmas ter General Farley, who predicted that payment on a great majority of them would be made within one week. Mall carriers have been given In structions to "go out of their way wherever necessary with a view to ef fecting delivery," Farley said. The bond packets must be delivered to the veteran In person.

He Is hoping to be able to ob tain loans from New York bankers. The Johnson law is naturally an In surmountable obstacle to France's ob taining any kind of credit In America, but as the Paris Midi pointed out Blum went out of bis way to declare that France has not forgotten the war debt and fully expects to bring It up for discussion some time In tbe future. Socialists Gain Control of Belgian Parliament SOCIALISTS of Belgium, like those of France, won a considerable vic tory In tbe parliamentary elections, holding a larger number of seats than any other group.

THE trouble with a great many people Is that they are heedless. When they find something new apd strange they forget everything bat their cariosity. Because of this they walk right straight Into trouble. It happens over and over again. But Billy Mink Isn't this kind of a person. My, my, I should say notl He never has been. If he bad he would have lost that beautiful brown coat of his long ago, and there would be no When Billy Cam* tx Thit Place He Discovered Something Queer. Billy Mink. Billy has bis share of curiosity, bat with It he possesses a great big bump of suspicion. When he finds anything new and strange he wants to learn all about It Bat right away he Is suspicious of It After he had discovered the trap set for blm at the entrance to one of bis favorite holes In the Laughing Brook and had foojed the trapper by getting the fish the trapper had placed In that hole, Billy went on up the Laughing Brook to see what else he could dis cover. Not very far above that place there was a steep bank on each side of the Laughing Brook.

The flnger-tip length coat la cot on straight alenderlilng lines. The striped navy toyo hat la trimmed with white belting ribbon. of each bank was a narrow strip of level ground between the bank and the water. Ton see, at this teason of the year the water in the Laughing Brook was low. ?When Billy cams to this place be discovered something queer. It was a little fence. It ran from the foot of the bank straight out Into the Laugh ing Brook to where the water became deep. Midway In this little fence was a gateway Just big enough to slip through comfortably. Billy looked across to the other side of tbe Laugh ing Brook. Over there was another little feDce Just like this one, and that little fence bad an opening in It. "Huh!" said Billy. "Huh! Those fences are something new. They were not here when I came down the Laugh ing Brook yesterday. I wonder what they are for. If it were not for those two little openings I would have to either climb the bank or swim aronnd the ends of those fences, and that would be bothersome. I can go through that little opening there as easy as rolling off a log, but I'm not going to do It. No, sir, I'm not going to do It There Is something wrong about those fences. They look to me as If they bad MEMBERS of the United State* army's Olympic team at Fort Riley, Kan., shown going down "Ceme tery Slide," so named because of Iti proximity to a military cemetery, dur ing one of the team's 23-mile cross-coun try rides.

Then rery carefully he approached the little opening from that aide. The more he looked at It, the leas he Uked It Right In the middle of that little open ing were some wet dead leavea.
