I BRISBANE THIS WEEK A King's Farewell Good Soldier Obeys An If or Two 40,000,000 Degrees Paris.?To "last words of dying men" will be added those of , ^ the late King ^"TUB ?eor6e ?' Eng" <j J\ * > ? land - "I am B| sorry to keep you waiting like this." Typical of $ a good, modest ^ king, always oueuieuv Br tyAt the request of his ministers, Hki^H including Sir I John Simon, who waited up~ on him at the . .V ? . last moment, Arthur Brisbane , . , the king struggled pathetically to sign his name to a state paper, succeeded, then, turning to his advisers, spoke those last words, followed by a smile and nod with which he was accustomed to end an audience. This was published in the Star of Johannesburg, South Africa, in a Reuter dispatch. Mr. Gunia sends the clipping from Gibsonia, Pa. Much obliged. The Italian soldier Badoglio, in the striking uniform of an Italian marshal, returned to Rome and embraced Mussolini, who wore the uniform of a corporal of fascist militia. Napoleon also liked to be called the "little corporal." Marshal Badoglio is an Italian soldier who obeys orders. When Mussolini's forces were marching on Rome, Badoglio, according to the story, said to the king: "What shall I do?wipe them out?" The king ordered: "No; rjp violence." Now, Mussolini rules, and on his orders Badoglio wipes out Haile Selassie and the government of Ethiopia. Anything could happen in Europe, and one of the things considered quite possible, extremely disturbing to respectable old England and others, is an agreement between Mussolini and Hitler to make "a deal on Austria" profitable for both; not for Austria. There is always, however, the memory of 1914, when Austria, Italy and the Kaiser had the triple alliance that did not "stand up." Such alliances usually go along racial lines, if they are to last France and Italy are natural allies, both Latin; England and the United States would probably be found not far apart if a really big World war should ever come, with one or two other IFS. Science proudly demonstrates for the Westinghouse company a new lamp that "rivals the beams of the sun." The demonstrator explained that the temperature at the sun's surface is about 11,732 degrees Fahrenheit, while the new lamp reaches 25,232 degrees Fahrenheit. That, however, as scientists know, is a long way from the sun's best temperature. According to Sir James Jeans, there prevails in the depths of the sun temperature of "forty million degrees centigrade," which is considerably higher than any manmade temperature. Ti t AAA u yuu tame wiuuu i,uju iniico ui a 5 cent piece with a temperature of 40,000,000 degrees centigrade, you would be burned to a cinder; hard to believe, but true. England protested against raising the elevation of guns on American warships because that would make our guns shoot too tar. In case of war we might hit a British ship lined up against us. Are animals capable of any thought? A dog on Prince Edward island, whining and howling with its muzzle against a pile of clothing on the edge of a pool, attracted men who took from the water the bodies of two brothers, fifteen and seventeen years old. Could the dog have "thought out" a connection between the clothing and the disappearance of its young owners? At Ur, ancient city of the Chaldeans, they show a gigantic brick temple, recently uncovered, where it has lain in the ground covered through the ages. It was constructed originally, like the tower of Babel, to enable the builders to get up into heaven and reach the gods. First they invented those pagan gods, and then they actually believed in them. The United States navy has ordered 191 "bomber" airplanes; cheerful small news. It is to be hoped that the government is trying to build bomber planes able to fly any ocean. If war came, our bombing operations could be carried on in countries across the Atlantic or the Pacific. We should not want to do any bombing1 in America. After the first experiment, no country would send any ships within easy bombing or submarine range o1 these shores. ? Kins Features Syndicate, Inc. WNU Service.

I J How Mencken Can Write THIS campaign will liven right up if Henry Mencken, the of- I ficial human gumboil of the writ- I ing craft, takes pen in hand to discuss the men and the issues. You I don't have to agree with Hen. You S may quarrel with his premises and I dispute his conclusions. But can he make the language I pop like a bull-whip! When he gets p excited he throbs like a mashed p thumb, and cuts loose like an id avenging angel. Expressing himself, he always picks words of the 9 right shape and the right color. ? Literary Garbage LET S admit that southerner* ot the Col. Carter of Cartersville type were mainly the far-fetched creations of overly-sentimental fictionists. Let's admit the business ?-c of painting a largely imaginary aftah-de-wah South was for many years crowded. But why, in the revolt to de- ? bunk this sugary romance, should *e the land so generously spawn a ~~ crop of alleged realists who'd have the rest of the world believe the only party of the South worthy of being written about is almost exclusively peopled by loathsome degenerates of the "Tobacco Road" variety? If one of these literary garbage collectors will but look about him, he'll find southerners who might make interesting copy and yet, excusing that they leave the sugar out of the corn bread and the lower case "r" out of the language, are pretty much like the run of their fellow Americans elsewhere. 2 * * * Gas Station Service H AN OPEN LETTER to the gasoline companies: Dear gasses?Why must the customer have the windshield wiped ?if he doesn't want the windshield wiped?

Maybe || he's nervous and prefers a blurry || outlook so he can't see how many || close calls he's going to, have from being knocked cold by lady motorists. Even so, unless he fights like a tiger, he must endure the windshield wiping. I commend the politeness of your attendants, though 171 deploring their frequent habit of apparently going somewhere about s^] a quarter of a mile back of the sta- do tion to make change. I admire your enterprise and your pumps are Indeed works of art. Your highway signs so fill the grateful eye that we don't have to look at com- ? paratively dull things, such as scenery. But my dear gasses, i. there comes a time when too much If service becomes a nuisance.

Now the Rev. A. A. McLeod has formally protested to the government of Nova Scotia about putting in the brandy. So I've been sitting here all day trying to make up my mind, if I'd been buried in that freezing, sumy pit, which I'd prefer?to have 'em send along some spiked coffee right away or keep the mixture up on the surface and lower the Rev. A. A. McLeod with a | pitcher of ice water. It's one of those things a fellow really can't decide offhand. (7 IRVIN S. COBB. er ??WNU Service.

The boys who have been cutting up old touches get around to the twin subjects of squawks and alibis. Since this is a prize fight crowd the debate is loud and long. Mickey Walker, who has been listening quietly, now grins and saunters over fo the table. "Maybe there's a time and place for everything," suggests the squat little man who used to ask nothing of giants save that they keep on swinging. "For instance, did I ever tell you about the time I fought Dundee?" He grins again at the memory ol the night. "Well, anyhow, Joe smacks me so hard over one eye that I lose the duke and have to go to the hospital. "Naturally I'm weighing in with some man-sized beefing because it ... hurts plenty. All the while, hear a guy on the HL nex' table sort of growling, but I fg don't figure he's got 'j&Mflt! dff&m any cause to be 1" I M sore at me and so 81 3a ' don't pay nucb laL jW attention to him. pHpSwr AB Instead I just lay there and every time the Doc purls ? ? ? 4t%n nav4 rntB Mickey Walker ? another yelp. "All of a sudden the guy on the next table bounces up so's they've got to stop operations on him. Then he starts shaking his fist in my face. " 'Say you,' he sayt to me. 'You know what I'm in- here for. Well somebody bounced a bottle off my conk and I've been stretched out here for almost an hour while they've been digging glassware outta my dandruff. That's what they've been doing. Here I was out for a bit of fun and wasn't harming nobody an .' The guy leans over as if he's gonna take a belt outta me. " ' an' you,' he says. 'Getting hit is your racket, ain't it. An' you got paid 10 G's for tonight, didn't you? Well, then, what right've you got to squawk?" It is almost time for a doubleheader to start. Adolfo Luque stands in front of the Giants' dugout shaking an excited finger at Dick Bartell. "You oughta done it," he says. "You?." "Yeah," says the shortstop. "But I didn't have time. I was ." "It makes no difference," the veteran coach abandons snch feeble medium as a long finger and spreads both arms in eloquent gesture. "How we gonna win? How we ." "Well, I got warmed up anyhow, didn't I?" Bartell's life is built on the theory that a good attack is the best defense. M.t II I. ?? ? ma ?uiu up. auiin; Liuque sputters feebly with the English idiom for a mo- ____ mcnt, relieves himself with rippling ^ ' ?T ^ Spanish phrases then returns to the language by I which he may be understood. "Three weeks yon warm up with me, hey. K-^1?i T. . M Three weeks you J& %**** JM get hits. You warm j%il up with me today. *s14 : No. Well, then how Bartell you expect to?." He shrugs his shoulders that speak volumes. Then sinks down on the bench overcome by the futility of it all. He becomes as silent as he had been loquacious. Bartell is not a superstitious lad. He knows that a bat is of considerable more assistance than a rabbit's foot when you are up there cutting for base hits. So he grins it this notion. The first game starts. Magicians pop up from nowhere to snare hard-hit line drives. The Giants iose that one. The second game starts. A sturdy little fellow continues to slap line drives that should i>e good for extra bases. They continue to be caught. The Giants lose that one. When old man Luque comes down the clubhouse steps the next afternoon a blond little fellow is waiting there, ball and glove in hand. "Hey, Adolf, catch," he calls. That afternoon Dick Bartell gets his basehit and the Giants win.
