Russia Resents Fascist Aid Given Spanish Rebels ? Mormons All Off Dole. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Newspaper Union. iiivu Ulan u?v prospects for peace between the warring factions in the fed eration were better and that those par ticipating in the con troversy were be coming "more tem perate." However, that same evening John L. Lewis, the dynamic leader of the Committee \yiLLIAM GREEN, president * ? of the A, F. of L? who had just been calling on President Roosevelt at Hyde Park, N. Y., told the news narvQPmnn fKof for Industrial Organization, rather dashed the aforesaid prospects for peace. In Washington he laid down, as the only basis for restoration of peace in the ranks of organized labor, a program consisting of these two propositions: 1. Revocation by the executive council of the American Federa tion of Labor of the order sus pending ten C. I. O. unions on charges of insurrection. 2. Isolation of certain mass pro duction industries which would be organized strictly on Lewis' "one big union" theory. It had been stated that David Dubinsky, head of one of the sus pended unions, had submitted a compromise peace proposal, but Lewis told the correspondents that he knew of no change in feeling be between the battling factions; that he had made no move for peace and contemplated none; that the C. I. O. drive to unionize the steel industry was "proceeding satisfactorily" and that the Dubinsky proposal was similar to the one previously offered jto and rejected by the A. F. of L. council. DOLITICAL expediency brought * about a strange state of affairs in Minnesota. Fred Curtis and Patrick J. Delaney, respectively Demo cratic gubernatorial and senatorial nominees, withdrew from the race in favor of the Farmer-Labor can didates in return for Farmer-Labor support for the re-election of Presi dent Roosevelt. The members of the Democratic party throughout the state were rather dismayed by this action and some of the leaders pro tested vigorously. John E. Regan, the party's 1934 gubernatorial candidate, issued a statement asserting that Minnesota Democrats had traded votes and engineered "coalition of parties" be fore, but "never has there been an absolute sellout." Alric Anderson, St. Paul attor ney who was the Democratic candi date for attorney-general two years ago, marshaled his followers into the "Democrats-for-Nelson Club." Martin A. Nelson is the Republican gubernatorial candidate. Joseph Wolf, former national committeeman, and Judge J. D. F. Meighen, state central committee chairman, led that group of Demo crats supporting both Farmer-Labor candidates and President Roosevelt. ATTACKING abuse of the frank ** ing privilege, which has been practiced by followers of any and all parties when they got the chance, senator Artnur a. Vandenberg of Mich igan proposes that congress pass leg islation that will put a stop to this evil, "for the sake upon the one hand of the postal revenue and for the sake, on the other, of political fair play." When John G. W i n a n t resigned 1. G. Winant from the social security board, his letter to the President was a strong pro - New Deal document. It was printed by the press bureau of the social security board and franked to a large mailing list, and Senator Vandenberg asked Mr. Winant whether he thought that was a legit imate use of the franking privilege. Mr. Winant replied promptly that, lest there be any question of the propriety of the matter, he had paid the mailing costs. This atti tude was warmly commended by Senator Vandenberg, as it must be by all good citizens. HELP given the Spanish insur gents by Fascist countries so enraged soviet Russia that she gave notice that, unless it ceased aha would free herself from any obli gations to the agreement for neu trality. The representatives of the 27 nations on the international com mittee of non - intervention in the Spanish war were about to meet in London, and Moscow's challenge caused a real sensation. Moiseyvich Kagan, soviet delegate on the com mittee, specifically named Portugal, Italy and Germany as the offenders and called for an investigation. It is believed that if Russia is not satisfied in this matter she will send airplanes and other war material to the Spanish government. Spanish Fascists pushed their lines so closely around Madrid that they called on the government to surrender the capital immediately and thus save it from a destructive bombardment. An airplane fleet showered the city with circulars tell ing the citizens that further resist ance was useless. One of the most threatening of General Franco's advances was directed at Aran juez, whose capture would cut off Madrid's food supply from the Med iterranean. The government claimed that an army of loyalist miners had fought its way to the center of Oviedo against the desperate resistance of the rebel defenders. Gen. Francisco Franco, chief of the insurgents, decreed a Fascist dictatorship and created a "junta of state" which will govern subject to his will. In his first statement of policy, Franco assured workers they would be "protected against the ills of capitalism and that steps would be taken to regulate favor able working hours." CIX months ago the Latter ^ Day Saints church ? otherwise the Mormons ? inaugurated a pro gram to make every able bodied Heber J. Grant porting by October 1. In the great tab ernacle at Salt Lake City Heber J. Grant, president of the church, told an au dience of thousands that the plan had succeeded and that the drive had taken all the needy mem bers off public re lief. The church has consistently opposed pay without work." In reading his report President Grant took occa sion to criticize the Townsend pen sion plan and government control of crops, and he warned the mem bers to avoid "political entangle ments." Under the church relief drive, land was leased anri the needy provided with implements for tilling. Wom ens groups have made clothes and bedding. Members have contributed the financial equivalent of two meals monthly to a special fund. In scattered storehouses, Mr. Grant reported, supplies have been laid up in generous quantities for distribution among the needy who helped produce them. A S THE time for the expiration of **the Washington naval treaty draws nearer, the utterances of Sec retary of the Navy Swanson take on more and more the nature of sharp warnings to Japan not to get too gay in the Pacific. In a press con ference the other day he said: "Fortifications are intended to an swer fortifications. One menace must be met by another menace." And he gave notice that the navy should be ready to do the necessary meeting. About the same time the State department was studying a proposi tion, made to it and to Japan by Great Britain, for an extension of the treaty pledge of the three nations not to build new fortifications or naval bases in certain of their Paci fic possessions. In Tokio it was said the government might agree to this provided certain changes were made giving Japan "fairer" treatment in the light of an altered international situation. KURT BJORKVALL, Swedish aviator, made an attempt to fly alone from New York to Stockholm. Thirty-two hours after the start be was picked up from the ocean about one hundred miles off the coast of Ireland. Supposedly he had run short of fuel. The rescue was made by ? French trawler. The plane was bad Is damaeed and was abtodaoad. , f TOTTED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE C. B. KENNEMER of Montgomery, Ala., issued an order halting collection in Alabama ol a one per cent payroll tax to finance the unemployment program. The result, it is expected, will be a clear cut test ol the validity of the New Deal's social security act, for law yers had no doubt the case would be carried to the United States Su preme court. The order war granted the Gulf States Steel corporation of Gadsden, AJa., on a plea that the unemployment insurance program, operated in co-operation with the federal government, violates both state and federal constitutions. JESSE ISADOR STRAUS, mer chant prince and, until his resig nation last August, American ambas sador to France, passed away in TkT_ ? W 1_ 1 ins iiew xur* nun 10 at the age of sixty four. The immedi ate cause of death was pneumonia, but Mr. Straus had been in ill health for some time, this being the reason for his re tirement from the ambassadorship. Graduating from Harvard in 1893, Mr. Qtrane Katfan n/ftpW as a bank clerk. In 1896 he ob tained employment with R. H. Macy St Co., big New York department store, and by 1919 was its presi dent, holding that position until he was given the Paris post by Presi dent Roosevelt in 1933. He was a Democrat and was a member of the board of overseers of Harvard and ot the American Academy of Political and Social Science. He maintained a country estate at Mount Kisco, N. Y., as well as a city; apartment. FOLLOWING the example set by ' France and other countries, the Italian cabinet votecf to devalue the lira, setting its value at approxi mately 5.2 cents, as Compared with the latest previous figure of 7.6 cents. The cabinet also let it be known that it would take action to prevent rent and price increases; and it voted a new 5 per cent capital levy to which property owners are obliged to subscribe to the extent of 5 per cent of their wealth. The gold value of the lira was placed at 4.677 grams of gold for each 100 lire. Gold reserves of the Bank of Italy will be revalued on the basis of the new lira with the surplus to be placed at the disposition of the treasury. FRANCE may be on the verge ot " a civil war between Communists and Fascists comparable to the ter rible conflict in Spain. In Paris desperate fighting already has be gun. The Reds, numbering many thousands, and the nationalists, un der orders from Col. Francois de la Rocque whose Croix de Feux or ganization was disbanded by the government, undertook rival dem onstrations; and the result was a day-long series of street battles in which hundreds were wounded. Or der was finally restored for the time being by a force of 12,000 re publican guards and police. In London, also, there wat a big riot in which a hundred persons were injured. Sir Oswald Mosley's Black Shirts, a Fascist organiza tion, planned a parade but Com munists and Socialists numbering 100,000 were determined to prevent it and battled with a big force of east end police to get at their ene mies. The authorities forbade the parade as scheduled but the oppos ing mobs got together in various localities and fought desperately. DRINCE ERNST VON STARHEM * BERG of Austria ousted from the Fascist Heimwehr or home guard Maj. Emil Fey, once his trusted lieutenant, and thereby stirred up quite a muss in Vienna. It was reported that Premier Mus solini of Italy had taken a hand in the quarrel by demanding that Chancellor Schuschnigg give com plete control of the heimwehr to Von Starhemberg. ?? The prince declared in a public document that Feg's conduct at the time of the assassination of Chancel lor Dollfuss never was satisfactorily explained. The major, enraged, challenged the prince to a duel, but dueling is illegal in Austria. ""pHREE complaints were filed by *? the federal trade commission un der the Robinson-Patman act, nam ing five concerns, launching the first move to test its powers under this far-reaching legislation which for bids the granting or receiving by merchandisers of discriminatory price discounts in interstate com merce.

Salute From the New to Old in Transportation This remarkable photograph was obtained at Pendleton, Ore., as a high-speed twin-engined transport plane of United Air Lines soared over a mule-freighter bound for the Pendleton Round Up. The plane, with its 1100 "horses," has a top speed of 202 miles an hour; the freighter, pulled by 12 mules, does well to cover four miles an hour. Planes operating between the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and East follow the old historic Oregon Trail formerly used by covered wagons, stage-coaches and freighters. >u Thornton W Burcfess BILLY MINK POSSESSES THE WANDERING FOOT \\T HEN a person becomes un \j easy and cannot settle in one place far any length of time, but wants to keep traveling, he is said to be possessed of the wandering foot. This means that he wants to wander about in search of new scenes and new adventures. To put it very plainly, he becomes a sort of tramp. You remember that when Billy Mink discovered the traps along the Laughing Brook he decided that he "This Place Looks Good To Me," Said Billy. would go visiting (or a while. For some time he had felt a desire to go visiting. These traps gave him a real excuse for so doing. So Billy had turned his back on the Laughing Brook and started (or another brook some distance away. He had not intended to go farther than this brook. But when he got there he found that the fishing was not as good as he had hoped it would be, so he decided to keep on moving until he found a place where food was plentiful, and he would be contented for a while. Now, while Billy Mink is a great lover of the water and is almost as much at home in it as Jerry Muskiat, he is equally at home on land. In fact, Billy often wanders long distances from water. He be Paris Gamin Outfit The young lady can be a perfect gamin of Pari* in Chanel's "prole tarian" sports outfit of brown and plaid woolen. It borrows the French workman's cap, his overcoat, vest, and even his collarless knitted Jer sey. iieves in variety and there are times when he would rather hunt than fish. He is a very good hunt er, as many a mouse and bird has found out too late. So, leaving the brook where the fishing was poor, Billy started off across country for nowhere in par ticular. He is one of the most in dependent of all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. He never worries over where the next meal is coming from. He feels quite capable of tak ing care of himself wherever he may be. No one understands the art of hiding any better than does Billy Mink. He is quick as a flash, and the way he can disappear when apparently there is nothing to hide under is astonishing. So Billy wandered about aimlessly just having a good time. He trav eled mostly at night, though occa sionally he became restless during the day and continued his journey then. In the Green Forest he hunt ed wood mice and grouse. In the open meadow land he hunted mead ow mice. When he came to a brook he went fishing. So, at last, his wanderings brought him to a farm yard. There was a big barn there. Also there was a henhouse contain ing many hens. Between the hen house and the bam was a big wood pile. At the sight of that woodpile Billy grinned. That was just the sort of a place he liked. You know he is so slim that he can slip through very small places, and he would be quite safe. "This place looks good to me," said Billy, "I think I'll stay a while." C T. W. Bur tea*. ?

MOTHER'S COOK BOOK I HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE WHEN buying meat see that it it is of good color and well mottled with fat. A fresh fish will be bright of eye and firm of flesh with the odor sweet. Use nuts in ? loaf to take the piace of meat. They are highly nourishing and are ?me for all sorts of dishes. If you have a neighbor who is us inff cake at about the same rate that burning. They should be rebuffed or they will always burn easily. Lettuce, endive and such crisp green foods should be served at once after the dressing is added ar they wilt readily. Keep lettuce well washed, in a thin bag of cheese cloth in the ice chest. It will be ready at a moment's notice to sup ply the salad. With raw fruits and vegetables so popular, did you ever try using fresh young turnips cut on the coarse grater or shredder, also young un your family does, why not exchange halves of cakes as two neighborly women do. Thus having a fresh half of cake with no work and no left over to disturb the conscience. When making mush for supper, prepare enough for frying for break fast; everybody likes fried mush with sirup. Pour the hot mush into greased baking powder cans, kept for the purpose. When cold it slices without waste or crumbling. When food scorches whilt cook ing, set the dish in another of cold water? the steam rising from the food will dissipate the scorched fla vor if it is not really burned. To remove burned food from a dish without scratching, add soda to cold water and simmer until the food is softened. Aluminum dishes which have been scraped will always have rough spots to catch food and cause Eve's EplGrAros &ein& co Bate* of ?ll the. co other tonooes on e?*th.

LANGUAGE - Of TOUH HIND * By Leicester K. Davis ? Pawtc Udnr. ik \XTHKN beginning an analysis of * ? a hand to place its type, be sure to note all the characteristics which make it a distinct type. Note the general shape and conforma tion, whether short, thick-set, wide or narrow. Note the width of palm, the length and formation of fingers and thumb, whether they are straight, knotted or tapered.- The first of the seven types of hands follows: First. The Primal Type of Hinri The outstanding characteristic at this type is its short, thick-set ap pearance. The fingers are stubby and rather clumsy looking. The thumb is extremely short, low set. heavy and often "Clubbed" on the side opposite the nail. The nail joint is often abnormally short and wide. The palm and underside portions of fingers of this type are always heavily fleshed and when partially folded become pillowed by broad, deep creases. One would be quite safe in placing the possessor of a hand of true primal type as one who is apt to find more satisfaction in material affairs than in the spiritual, esthetic or sentimental aspects of life. All things being equal, a primal type of hand indicates pretty surely that the occuoation f-hosen by its owner should be of a kind that calls for manual dexterity rather than concentration or aralysis. A stiff thumb on the primal type of hand is positive indication of a stubborn and overbearing will that is apt to have its own way without counting the costs or the feelings of others. If. however, the thumb may be bent backward with little tension, there is equally positive indication that its owner is very much inclined toward indolence, irresponsibility and extravagance.
