Russia, according to Lloyd (leorge.
Is the world's real flying nation,
possesses, prohably. the world's
greatest tihtiug air Meet. It Is
certainly the country that takes fly
ing most seriously, wilh 8,000,000
Russians trained in aeronautics, young
Russian girls learning to pilot planes
and dirigibles and make 20,000-foot
parachute jumps, as our young girls
learn nw dance steps.
This makes important Russia's an
nouncement that she is manufactur
ing airplanes on a mass production
basis, using for air power "an ordi
nary light automobile engine." The
planes, very cheap, using ordinary
pasoline, will be supplied to collec
tive farms. Russia may be the first
nation to do with (lying machines
what this country did with automo
biles. American genius put this na
tion on wheels. If Russian engi
neering skill puts itussia on wings.
It will make some other countries
thoughtful.
A young man Is found strangely
murdered, or committing suicide In
an unusual way, hanging from a low
tree. His legs were fastened behind
his back with chains, chains were
around his hands and neck, and a
medal that he had won in an ath
letic contest was fastened with a
safety pin to one of his nostrils.
The man, thirty-one, who had been
employed In moving pictures as a
substitute for actors under danger
ous conditions, is believed by police
to have killed himself in a strange
way, through vanity, to attract atten
tion, climbing to the limb of a tree,
adjusting the chain, dropping and
Strangling.
Police quote a superstition of cer
tain Malays who believe that evil
spirits carry off their souls If they
kill themselves. When they commit
suicide they exhaust their Ingenuity
In efforts to die In such a fashion
as to make suicide seem Impossible,
that the spirits after inspection may
decide that the dead man was mur
dered and leave his soul In peace.
During prohibition, the habit of
drunkenness was acquired by many,
particularly young women. They
yield more easily than men to the
effects of alcohol and drugs, and
once "caught" they are caught for
life, usually.
American fathers and mothers that
give cocktail parties for their sons
and daughters, or permit them In
their houses, should be told plainly
that they are using their money to
make drunkards of the daughters
and sons, and are not fit to have, or
bring up. children.
In addition to moving 60,000 more
soldiers to the German lines, France
Is hurriedly connecting her steel and
concrete line of fortresses, with barbed
wire entanglements and trenches. Thir
ty thousand soldiers are digging in as
you read.
The French apparently expect the
same old thing over again, but they
will not see it. Nations In the next
war will not squat In trenches, but will
fly against the enemy nation's chief
cities and kill an Impressive number of
citizens with poison explosives and gas.
Nothing will be more lonesome than
a front line trench In the next war.
IDKNT KOOSEVELT, deeply
ned and in good physical con
dition. was landed at Jacksonville,
Fla., by the destroyer
Farragut and started
Immediately for New
York, to attend the
funeral of his cousin,
Warren Delano Rob'
bins, after which he
returned to Washing
ton. Aboard his spe
cial train the PresI
dent read through the
$4,SSO,000.000 work re
lief bill as it was final
Iv passed by both
houses of congress, called for pen and
Ink and appended his signature to the
largest appropriation measure ever
enacted by congress. There were some
features of It, agreed upon in the sen
ate and house conference, which he did
not like, but he said those who had
studied It recommended its approval.
The President at once signed two al
locations from the amount approprl
ated. The first was $125,000,000 to the
administrator of the Federal Enier-
gency Relief adminlstrntoln, in order
that relief might not stop. The sec
ond was $30,000,000 for continuation
of the emergency conservation work
In Washington the Republicans and
some others discussed with dissatisfac
tion the probability that Harry L. Hop
kins, relief administrator, would be the
President's chief assistant in carrying
out the vast work relief program.
"It Is extremely fortunate for Mr.
Hopkins that, if he is going to be the
lord high distributor of the money, the
bill Is so drawn that he won't have to
be confirmed by the senate," said Sen
ator Vamlenberg of Michigan.
Representative Snell of New York,
the Republican leader in the house, de
clared it was "a sad commentary that
a man like Hopkins," who had termed
critics of work-relief methods "d n
dumb." should "appear to be In line
to be clothed with extraordinary grants
of power over the greatest sum of
money ever appropriated."
As fixed up in conference, the act
does not require senate confirmation of
administrators already In the employ
of the government. That Includes Hop
kins, Secretary Ickes, and Rexford G.
Tngwell, all considered probabilities
as members of the board that will ad
minister the work relief fund.
Work for a total of 3,500,000 desti
tute persons is contemplated under the
relief bill. Officials estimate 2,500,000
of these already are working for relief
payments. According to plans, these
are to be absorbed by the new work
program on July 1, leaving jobs to be
found for 1.000,000 more. It was said
that soil erosion control projects and
rural electrification would be relied on
heavily at the outset of the drive to
increase the number at work. Later,
officials said, the present work-relief
program will be "pruned" to provide
labor for other projects.
Robert C. Fechner, director of the ci
vilian conservation corps, announced
that his organization hoped to Increase
its strength from 370,000 to 600,000
men under the terms of the bill. He
said this would call for the establish
ment of about !HH) camps and the as
signment of 10,000 corps commanders.

Green definitely marked out the tire
strike as a test of labor's ability to
make good on the promises held out
to it by the New Deal. The national
labor relations board, be pointed out,
had ordered the big tire companies,
Goodyear, Goodrich; and Firestone,: to
allow their workers to elect represent

Keep Own Place
in Social Whirl
Weakness of Character in
Pose That Deceives
Nobody.
In a sermon recently at the fash
fonable St Bartholomew's church In
New York city, Bishop Warren L.
Rogers of Ohio assailed as one of
the chief weaknesses of people in
large centers of the country the
nractlce of "KeeDine Vo With the
Joneses."
Too many of us, said the bishop,
are concerned with "the avenue on
which your apartment Is locnted,
A'here you stay when you are away
and how manv cars you have." lie
spoke of the hollowness of such liv
ing, how utterly lacking it is In real
satisfaction.
Without presumption, nn eminent
woman writer comments, I think,
most of this column's family could
add from their own expTienee a
very practical consideration against
the practice of "Keeping I'p With
the Joneses." That is that it doesn't
fool anybody.
Most of us have known people
who tried to wage that senseless
struggle. The ieople who posed as
having more than they had and tried
to conceal what they lacked In
putting all they had In the show win
dow; the people who sacrificed In
ner peace for outer display; v.-ho
gave up living substantially in a
modest way for existing precariously
on n plane too high for them.
Struggle, worry, Instability, lack
of peace is their dailv bread and
for what? For these people never
for long fool anyone, K.ven If the
world were not so "umall." and our
lives, to those with whom we come
In constant contact, so transparent,
we should need nothing more than
the strained look, the fumbling, un
comfortable ways of these people
who bite off more than tliey can
chew, to "give them away."
It fools nobody, this "Keeping Up
With the Joneses." It Is a total loss,
for It robs the people who attempt
It of the respect which would, other
wise be theirs. Even the most
superficial of humans admire those
with a true sense of values and the
courage to live according to It. They
respect those who stand honestly for
what they are, and so make that
something worth standing for. And
those who pretend so pitifully to
more material possessions than they
have are naturally assumed to have
little else to commend them.
