Bar for Free Courts /CONVINCED that the independ ^ ence of the federal judiciary is still threatened, despite the defeat of the, plan to enlarge the Supreme court, the American Bar association, in session in Kansas City, voted unanimously to authorize a commit tee to keep up the fight to preserve the freedom of the courts, as rec ommended by a special committee. That committee said: "There ap pears to be no likelihood that efforts to re-make the courts of the United States will not be renewed. Your special committee is of the opinion that the association ought to main tain itself in readiness to meet such issues as they may recur, rather than to rely upon impromptu or ganization for the purpose." The lawyers listened to many speeches, both attacking and de fending President Roosevelt's court program and his appointment of Hugo Black to the Supreme court. The climax to all this came when Hatton W. Sumners of Texas, chair man of the house judiciary com mittee, arose to talk. He had a prepared address, but shifted to an extemporaneous talk in which he declared the people have lost control of the government of the United States and it has passed into the hands of a million people in its ex ecutive department, in which only one man was elected, and which the people could not control. "What are we going to do about it?" Sumners cried. "Are you will ing to join a battalion of death to save the Constitution and the gov ernment? "As we look to the future, we are rapidly approaching a crisis when it will be decided whether our eco nomic system and our government will stand or fall. "I mean actually. A very serious situation is before the people. It means we have got to do some thing soon. We have got to balance the budget. We have got to decen tralize government responsibility." O'Mahoney Butts In PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, on the 4 way to Seattle, first entered the "enemy's" country when he crossed the border of Wyoming, the state of Senator Joseph U Mahoney, leader of the anti - Supreme court enlargement forces. Mr. Roose velt's train reached Cheyenne in the ea? ly morning, and there, among the welcomers, was Jo seph, though he had pointedly not been invited to board the train. He walked alongside the Presi- , I ** Senator O'Maboney aenvs car anu mi a. ivou??cn ?merged, shook his hand and asked after Mrs. O'Mahoney. The senator then entered the pri vate car and he and Mr. Roosevelt shook hands and said "Hello, but the atmosphere was decidedly chill ing; he took leave of the party at Casper, Wyo., after accompanying the President and his group on ? drive about that city. The Chief Executive spent two days in Yellowstone National park, and then went on to Boise, Idaho; to the Bonneville dam near Port land. and thence to Seattle. ? After a pleasant visit with his grandchildren, Mr. Roosevelt board ed the destroyer Phelps and went to Victoria, B. C., for a "good neighbor" call on Lieutenant Gov ernor Hamber. His schedule thereafter included a night at Lake Crescent, Wash., a drive around the Olympic peninsula ending at Tacoma, and then the eastward trip with stops at Grand Coulee and Fort Peck dams, Grand Forks, N. D., and St. Paul, and a few hours in Chicago to dedicate the new Boulevard bridge over the mouth of the Chicago river. Cummings Hasn't Quit Fight A TTORNEY GENERAL CUM ** MINGS in his press conference intimated strongly that the admin istration intends to push for the court reforms the President has de manded. To support this position he produced the annual report of the judicial conference composed of the chief justice and senior circuit judges. It recommended appoint ment of 16 additional federal judges. "In this report" said Mr. Cum ings, "the judiciary has capitulat ed. They admit now there is con gestion and delay in the judicial sys tem. They ask for additional judges to provide relief. This is a com plete capitulation and a welcome one." Soviet Helping China? aooci icu they had learned that Marshal Galents - Bluecher, com mander of the Russian Far East armies, was directing the Chinese campaign against Japan by tele phone from his Siberian headquar ters. According to Domei, the Japanese news agency, munitions and other military supplies are being trans ported by trucks into China across the province of Sinkiang from So viet Siberia. If these reports are true it may be Stalin has decided the time has come for Russia to take sides with China openly, and that would make things tough for the Japanese invaders. Russia Warns Japan T3KYO officially notified Moscow that the Chinese were plotting to attack the Russian embassy in Nanking with planes disguised as Japanese aircraft, for the purpose of involving the Soviet government in the Sino-Japanese conflict. With the equivalent of "Oh, yeah?", Russia retorted with a stern warning that it would hold Japan responsible for any bombing of the embassy, inten tional or accidental. The Soviet of ficials said they considered the re ported plot a "pure prevarication showing the intention of some Jap anese military powers to bombard the Soviet embassy intentionally and then try to escape responsibility." The League of Nations adopted a resolution severely condemning Japan for the aerial bombardment of defenseless Chinese citierf, and Tokyo, indignant, charged the league of acting without verifying the facts. To the protests of Ave great powers, previously filed, the Japanese government replied with the assertion that the bombing of Nanking was "necessary for our purpose." The British public is becoming in creasingly aroused against Japan and there is a general demand for a boycott of Japanese goods. The government has permitted an air craft company to take a big order for fighting planes that will soon be shipped to China, and they may be manned by British pilot*. officials in Shanghai Auto Union Shake-Up CEVERAL times Homer Martin, ^ president of the United Automo bile Workers of America, has inti mated that there were too many radicals among the leaders of that union. Now, allegedly for reasons of economy, he has got rid of some of them. These organizers have been let out: Victor Reuther, one of the leaders in the General Mo tors strike at Flint, Mich., last win ter; Robert Kanter, Stanley Novak, Meivin Bishop and William Tonn of Detroit; R. D. Richter of Saginaw; Charles Rigby, Ohio; Frank McMil lan, Kansas City; Eugene Stauder, Frank Bartee and Frank Schutz, Indiana. Martin also announced he had promoted Loren Houser to be or ganizational director for Detroit. El mer Dowell was made director of all General Motors locals in the na tion. R. J. Thomas, international vice president, has been appointed director of all Chrysler locals, and Richard T. Frankensteen, director of the organization program among Ford Motor company employees. Lester Washburn of Lansing, Mich., leader of the "labor holiday" last spring, was made director of the U. A. W. for western Michigan, and Charles Madden, Pontiac, di rector of eastern Michigan outside of Detroit. Italy Wins "Parity" PREAT BRITAIN and France yielded to the demands of Mus solini and granted "parity" to Italy in the anti-piracy patrol of the Med iterranean. That sea was divided into three zones. The Italian zone includes the extensive Italian coast line, the Tyrrhenian sea around Sardinia and, in the east, the coast of the Libyan colony. The Aegean sea is assigned to Britain; and France will guard the Syrian coast and the sea lane between Marseilles and Algiers. All three zones extend east to the Suez canal since all three powers are interested in keeping open that gateway to the East. War Dance tor Duce DENITO MUSSOLINJ, visiting *-* Adolf Hitler for the purpose of composing and presenting to the world a statement of the intentions ana aemanas 01 ine Italian and German governments, was received by the Nazis with great en thusiasm. II Duce, on the way to Ber lin, stood on a hill in Mecklenburg with Hitler and witnessed a big war dance staged by the reichsfuehrer that displayed the re gained military Adolf Hitler might of Germany most impressive ly. Hitler's best officers and troops, armed with the latest weapons of death, put on a sham battle partici pated in by all land and air forces. In the nearby Baltic the German warships showed how they chase "Red" submarines; and at Wustrow the anti-aircraft batteries gave a demonstration of their effectiveness. In the midst of the display of war strength and preparedness, Hit ler and Mussolini made speeches declaring their devotion to the cause of peace. At the same time they insisted the world must grant to Germany and Italy the recognition and the rights they feel are their due. After a grand review of the Nazi army, the two dictators conferred privately. Details of the conversa tion were kept secret, but officials said II Duce and Der Fuehrer not only discussed German-Italian co operation but also talked about an understanding in southeastern Eu rope ? the inclusion of Austria, Hun gary, Jugo-Slavia, Bulgaria, and possibly Rumania in a general Eu ropean realignment. ? ? ?? . Noted Merchant Dies EDWARD a. FILENE, best known of all Boston's merchants, died of pneumonia in the American hos pital in Paris. He was seventy-seven years old. Besides being a business man, Mr. Filene was a noted social economist. He was sometimes called the apostle of mass produc tion and distribution. Only ten days after he took charge of the American legation in Vienna, Grenville T. Emmet died of double pneumonia. He was sixty years old and was a former law partner of President Roosevelt. More Woe in Palestine Great Britain's contested plan to divide Palestine be tween the Jews and the Arabs, with a slice for herself, came to the front again when Lewis Andrews, British commissioner of Galilee, was assas sinated by a group of terrorists in Nazareth. Three men, two in Eu ropean garb and one in peasant clothing, ambushed Andrews and shot him and his bodyguard to death. Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS JUMPER TELLS PETER WHO THE STRANGER IS DETER RABBIT could hardly be 1 lieve what he had seen ? the big black stranger, with the great ter rible claws, backing away from Jimmy Skunk, and Jimmy acting just as if he were in the habit of meeting this stranger every day and making him get out of his way. And yet he knew that Jimmy never had seen him before. Peter always had had a great deal of respect for Jimmy Skunk. He knew that Jim my just laughed at Reddy Fox, al though Reddy is ever so much big ger than he, and he knew that Bow ser the Hound always turned aside if he happened to meet Jimmy. But he really had not thought that Jim V* ?T? ?V J A "Supposing Son Tell Me Who You've Seen," Said He, Quite as if He Had No Particular Interest in the Matter. my would dare to treat this great stranger so, and if he hadn't seen it himself he wouldn't have believed it because ? well, because he couldn't have believed it. Peter was full of wonder and ex citement as he hurried away to tell all whom he should meet what he had seen. He didn't know who the stranger was. Never had he seen anyone like him in the Green For est. The tfery thought of him made Peter shake with fright, even if Jimmy Skunk should say that there was nothing to be afraid of, and Peter knew that this is just what Jimmy would say when be met him. Presently as he hurried, lipperty lipperty-lip, through the Green For est he met his cousin. Jumper the Hare. "Oh, Jumper! Cousin Jumper! I've seen him I" cried Peter just as soon as he was near enough to make himself heard. Jumper sat up and looked at Pe ter curiously. "Supposing you tell me whom you've seen," said he quite as if he had no particular in terest in the matter. "Why, the stranger! The great big stranger who made those tracks in the snow I told you about and whom you tried to find and couldn't. I saw him just a few minutes ago! Who do you suppose he is, and do you suppose he has come to the Green Forest to stay?" cried Pe ter, talking so fast that the words just tumbled out. "How should I know?" replied Jumper the Hare. "Suppose you tell me something about him. What does he look like?" "Well, he's big," began Peter. "He's bigger than anyone else in the Green Forest. Why, he's as big as Farmer Brown's boy! He wears a black fur coat.

Jumper yawned just as If he weren't the least bit interested. I've heard all that before from Sammy Jay," said he. "And don't you believe It?" cried Peter. Jumper the Hare smiled at Peteh and Peter knew right away by that smile that his big cousin had been teasing him. "Yes," said he, "I be lieve it because ? well, because I have seen him myself." "You have?" cried Peter, "and do you really know who he is?" Jumper nodded. "Yes," said he, "he's an old acquaintance of mine." "Who?" demanded Peter, his eyes popping out with excitement. "Tell me quick, who is he?" "He's someone I used to know when I lived in the Great Woods be fore I came to live in the Green Forest on the edge of the Green Meadows," replied Jumper, speak ing so slowly that Peter thought he would never get it out. "But what's his name? Oo tell me his name. Cousin Jumper," im plored Peter. "His name," replied Jumper slowly, very slowly, while Peter held his breath and leaned forward with eyes and ears and mouth wide open, "His name is ? " "Is what?" cried Peter. "Is Buster Bear," replied Jumper the Hare. ?T. W. Burgeci.? WNU Service.

Whitman DOUBLE WINDOWS FOB CASEMENTS r\ UEING the warm times of year, ^ casement windows that swing outward are certainly attractive. This is not only for appearance, but for the full ventilation that comes with the opening of an entire win dow space. In winter, however, the situation is reversed. Out-swinging casement windows are more likely to leak than is the case with win dows of other kinds. Also, the ordi nary form of double window cannot be used. When there are two or more case ment windows in a room, it is un usual for more than one to be opened during bitter weather. This being so, all of the windows but one IMPORTANCE OF WATER TO BODY Look to Source of Supply When Choosing a Home. By EDITH H. BARBER T HE most important material -*? which we take into our bodies through the mouth is completely lacking in food value! This sounds like a contradictory statement. It is, however, water which we are describing in these terms. As has been proven many times, man can live much longer without food than he can without drink, which he must have, not only to satisfy his thirst craving, but for use in every body process. The first qualifications in choosing a place of residence is a liberal and sure water supply. Those of us who live in cities and suburbs take this for granted. This is not the case, however, in the country. It was brought to my attention in Maine when a new well was necessary. Captain Sinnott was called upon to locate the well on one of the veins of water which run at intervals through the region. He came armed with a crotched willow twig, which, believe it or not, turned toward the ground when it found running water. Of course, it would not be so oblig ing for everyone, although we were all allowed to try our hand at divin ing. One or two of us actually found that we had the power, al though we were scientific scoffers. To go back to the importance of water which too often we neglect to drink in the proper quantity. At least eight glasses should be taken daily if our body machinery is to be supplied with amounts which will enable it to run efficiently. Some of this may be taken at meals if it is drunk after food has been chewed and swallowed. The rest may be taken between meals. Part of' the supply may of course be in the form of any sort of liquid beverage.

Cut the pimiento into slice*. When ready to serve place the mold ol cheese in the center of a platter or chop plate. Arrange the lettuce or romaine around the edge in six bundles and hold together lightly with strips of pimiento. Pass spicy dressing with this salad. Chocolate Sauce. 1V4 ounces chocolate Vi cup cold water Vi cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch Salt *?' _ 1% cups hot water Vi teaspoon vanilla Cut the chocolate in pieces, add the cold water and cook over low fire until smooth. Mix the sugar, cornstarch and salt together and add to the chocolate. Stir in the hot water and cook until smooth. Add the vanilla.

If the casement la provided with inside insect screen* on hinges, the screens can be re placed with glass. Another possibil ity is a sheet of plate glass cover ing the entire opening, set in ? frame of wood molding, fitted to the inside of the window frame. The molding should have good-sized han dles attached to it, so that it can be easily moved, and when in place, it is held by simple bolts or turo buttons. Double windows raise the temper ature of a room by many degrees. There is far less chilling of the space near a window, and drafts ia the room are greatly cut down. Double windows are well worth whatever they may cost Cleaning a Gilded Frame. Gilding of a high quality picture frame is with gold leaf, which ia so thin that it will not stand rub bing. To clean a soiled and stained frame, make a half-and-half mix ture of denatured alcohol and house hold ammonia. Apply it to the gild ing with a soft camel's-hair brush. This will loosen the dirt, which can then be taken off with dear water, also applied with the soft brush. The drops of water that remain should not be wiped away, but thrown off by shaking the frame. The frame is then stood on edge in a warm place to dry. C By Roger B. Whitman WNu Service. ua uiak uicj wau i uiag uicu Bens and Bills out of the house of an evening.
