Mussolini's Ten Years A Full-Dress Headsman Why Pay Interest? A Slap Killed the Baby Thanks to Mussolini, who knows how to get things done, Great Britain, Franc'?, Germany and Italy agree not to fight each other for ten years, which means, perhaps, "ten years of peace. In Europe." In addition to not fighting ench other, they will try to keep lesser nations from fighting. The United States, praise heaven, la left out of it. We have no idea of fighting any of those four nations, or any other, anywhere on the globe. Why should statesmen. lncludlng*some of our own, try to drag this coun try In? An American correspondent In Ber lin mentioned that "a double murderer in Torgau prison was executed by the medieval method of beheading with ax and block. The executioner was at tired In the customary full evening dress as he swung the huge ax." Mr. Hitler's censor would not let the dispatch go, because of the word "medieval." What would you call It, If not "medieval," to make a man put on "full evening dress," stiff shirt, white necktie, "swallow-tailed" coat, before chopping off a criminal's head? If It Is not "medieval," it is certainly grue some comic opera. What a "last mo ment," to see a man In "full dress" aiming n huge ax at your neck. The secretary of the treasury asks the public to subscribe to St .<XX>.<XH>.1>00 worth of government notes, to meet the cost of a public works program. IIow will the contractors and work ers on that program be paid? They will be paid with money printed and backed by the United States govern ment. Why not print the money and pay It to them, Instead of borrowing It, and then paying IntereRt on It? The money, with the government name on It, Is exactly as good as the bond or note with the government name. Why insist on putting out bonds or notes to make taxpayers pay billions In Interest? If the government borrows $3,000, 000,000, and takes 20 years to pay, the Interest will amount to $6,000, 000, OpO. In other words, $3,000,000,000 worth of work will cost $9,000,000,000. $3,000, 000,000 for the work, and $0,000,000,000 for interest. Mrs. N. Y. W. of California was waked by her crying baby. Alex. Drowsy, she slapped It. It became quiet, went to sleep again. In the morning she found It dead, and is ar rested on a manslaughter charge. The child had died from a cerebral hemorrhage, caused by slaps on Its thin ekull. Parents, even seml-clvlllzed. should know enough not to whip any child, and to strike an Infant Is horrible. A man will whip his own child, and would not allow a servant to whip his young dog or horse, for fear of "break ing the animal's spirit." Japan, standing apart, In the East, with plenty of good fighting men, air planes and submarines, says exactly what she thinks, and doesn't think much of the Ixmdon navy pact. Japan will not agree to the sug gestion that explosive bombs from the air In wartime be abolished. The mikado feels that as long as western nations have carriers that can bring planes across the otean and unload near Tokyo, Japan must be ready to meet those carriers. Baron Edouard de Itothschlld of Paris Is worried about Socialism, par ticularly state Socialism, which builds 1 publicly-owned railroads to compete with Baron Rothschild's great, private French rallrond, the Ohemln de fer du Nord, called "the richest railroad In France." Somo American Imitations of Baron Rothschild are also worried about "state Socialism," and the dreadful suggestion that the people of the United States, who built and pnld for the Muscle Shoals power plant, may actunlly use It for themselves. Instead of letting private Indlvldnnls exploit It. Francesco Angelo, well named, an Itnllan naval officer, who established a new flying speed of 420 miles per hour. In April, now announces a new record of 440 miles, made In his "Red Bullet." The new record Is not offi cial hut will doubtless be established. England holds the automobile speed record, Italy the more Important air record. This proud nation seems to bo lagging behind. In other coun tries government Interests Itself In nil speed records, knowing that, In war, speed In the air would be every thing. Senor Vlncente Mtirlll Gonzales of Managua, Nicaragua.

ROOSEVELT BOOSTS VET COMPENSATION Changes Economy Program to Check Revolt. Washington. ? President Roosevelt yielded to congressional pressure ugulnst drastic veterans economies, signing an executive order raising compensation for war disabled veter ans above the levels of lite original economy program. .Under the new regulations no com pensation for service-connected dis ability will be reduced by more than 25 per cent. The average reduction will be 18 per cent. This regulation applies not only to veterans of the World and Spanish wars, but also to veterans who served In Buch campaigns as Nicaragua. China, Russia or Haiti. The executive order was expected to meet the demands of congressmen who put through the senate an amendment to the Independent offices supply bill limiting to 25 per cent compensation reductions for war-disabled veterans. The amendment, It was estimated, re duced by $170,000,000 the administra tion's economy program. The new regulations were made pos sible by the President's original direc tion that the tentative regulations be reviewed carefully And amended speci fically to prevent extreme cuts In com pensation for service connected disa bilities. Under this regulation, Spanish American war veterans and some peace-time veterans will receive pay ments substantially In excess of those received prtftr to the passage of the j ecenomy act. | The White House estimated that the order would add between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000 to the $400, 000,000 which It was Intended to spend for veterans under the economy bill. To that extent, the action Is a defent for the President? the first serious oue he has suffered since Mnrclt 4.

Dr. Ilobert Kingman In the Kng lish Journal, New Health, suggests that laughter often depends on psy chic tension, and Is a ready means of relief from this tension just as are tears. This Is the secret of the ready re sponse to the man who slips on a banana peel, the slap-stick and the custurd pie comedy ? tension and sudden release of tension through laughter. Tears would do just as well. But ordinarily as soon as It Is realized that the person Is not really hurt, the reaction is laughter and not tears. Borne persons weep for Joy and some laugh hysterically In time of tragedy. With pome It Is a matter of Indifference whether they laugh or cry; they get as much relief from one as from the other. There are some who react by both tears and laughter to any serious situation. The relaxation produced by one is as complete as that produced by the other. Persons who do not laugh at all far outnumber those who do. In general, these are the older races. The Chinese, Japanese, Hindus and Mohammedans see very little to laugh at In life. Even as children their laughter Is conspicuous mostly by its absence. A grown-up Orien tal considers laughter a distinctively feminine trait and unworthy of a man. ?
