WlnHton Churchill states the opposition to a Hitler peace. This speech of Sunday, October 1. was one of the i utstuudiUR speeches thai has been delivered in England since the outbreak of the war. It clearly marks him as the next Prime Minister of Kuala oil. Britain and Turkey negotiate Mutual Aid Pact, October 6th. This Is significant for two reasoua: He la t ion and position of Turkey lu Near East; The "life line" of Britain Is still open. France and Britain Indicate their opposition to Hitler's peace. They had no choice; action and acceptance would be surrender "lu toto". "Dictators come with the sword?they end lu the same way." Little flghtlug on the Western front. France cannot afford to lose a million men In a "break through". Germany is not going to drive through the Maginot?she might employ a modified "Von 8hlleffen" plan ot 1924 and go through Belgium. It leems that her action of October 9th suggests to the Allies the .necessity of a serious consideration of his peace drive. I^atvla grants Soviet Air and Naval Basses, October 6. Russia has gone to the Baltics, the dream of Peter the Great. Lithuania receives Russian demands, October 7.

He is ' cool to meditation role", the movement muBt be more direct. Solons hold time is ripe to negotiate armistice. This Is only a possible minority opinion. Mussolini Is the logical person for such a peace offer. Doubtless Clano learned too much at Berlin on October 1. Germans launch big attack on the Western front, October 9th. Strike at French positions all the way from Moselle River to Saarbruchen. The Allies should be impressed with the German "peace will". Soviet Russia backs German "Peace Drive", calls Hitler's terms "Real" and "Practical". Drive to have Senate recess debate light.

Spencer W. Va. Works Half a Day For Food, Housing Average Wage-Earner Labors 57 Minutes for Taxes. CHICAGO.?John American, tha nation'a average wage-earner, put? in more than half of hi? eight-hour work-day earning food and housing for his family, a National Consumers Tax commission analysis shpws. He works another 45 minutqs to pay for clothing, 61 minutes to? personal expenses such as medical care and recreation, 41 minutes for transportation and 42 minutes for other miscellaneous items. And during the purchasing of eH these family needs, according to tho N. C. T. C., he pays an amount In hidden taxes equivalent to his earnings for 57 minutes of this average work day. The analysis by the C. T. C.#-? national tax study organization seeking to expose indirect taxes, was based on a tabulation of all expenditure items of families earning $2,500-a-year and less in 32 representative communities from coast to coast. These amouptg, wage th$n transformed into the respective fractions of the eight-hour day that John American works in earning the money to pay for the expenditures. Thus, according to the analysis, he works two hours and 33 minutes for the food for his wife and children and himself. He works another two hours and 18 minutes for housing and the costs of household operation and furnishing. Miscellaneous items, including savings, gifts, education, insurance, direct taxes and others, add the final 42 minutes to John American's work day. "But in every purchase, this average wage-earner pays hidden taxes as a concealed, fractional part of the price," said Mrs. Kenneth C. Frazier, N. C. T. C. president. "Consequently, he really works part of his day earning these extra amounts. "In all, these tax fractions add up to a total equivalent to his earnings for 57 minutes." Campus Reporters Talk Numbers' Mum bo-Jumbo STILLWATER, OKLA.?Reporters on the O'Collegian, student newspaper at Oklahoma A. & M. college, are putting figures to work in their conversation. It saves time and the vocal cords, they say. Of course, to get any meaning out of a jumble of number combinations, one has to know the code. If a reporter wants to say goodby, he can convey his meaning by just calling out the number "sixty." "Ninety-one" means "a good time was had by all." Anyone too shy to say "love and kisses" can just say "eighty-eight," while "sixty-seven" means go chase yourself. "Ten" amounts to okay, "ninety-eight" a disreputable bum, and "nineteen" refers to a "big shot." And these numbers are only a starter. ' Russia's Birthrate Equal To Population of Finland PARIS.?U. S. S. R.'s annual birth rate is equal to Finland s total population. This was revealed by an article published recently in the French newspaper Ce Soir. The figures published show that births in Russia during 1937 reached nearly the four million mark, an increase of 18 per cent over the previous year. It is added that, while in 1926, 39 inhabitants out of 100 were illiterate, in 1937 there were 28,842,000 pupils in Soviet schools. It was also stated in the article that there no longer exists any unemployment in the U. S. S. R., but on the contrary, there appears to be a lack of laborers. Soviet factories employed more than 27,000,000 workers in 1937 and additional workers are needed at present. I Chinese 'Herb of Life' To Get Test in England I LONDON.?English scientists will i investigate the properties of a Chinese herb called Fu Tieng?the life plant?which is supposed to increase the normal span of life. Chang Li-un, a Chinese sage, first discovered its value during the reign of Charles I, it is said. Fu Tierg grows only in soft radioactive soil in certain parts of China, India and Ceylon. It is said to be 1 the only known source of super vitamin G 2. 1 A shipment of the herb arrived in London recently and was taken at once to a research laboratory.

A'lant* S4.ifd^in/Strtt*m Above: Eliza Peeples, as "Miss Spirit of Turpentine" symbolizes the rebirth of the age-old Gum Turpentine industry which has followed the formation of the American Turpentine Farmers Association Cooperative. One of the youngest Turpentine tar mas shows the modern can adopted by the AT-FA. One of the first products of the [ New World to go back to Fngland was ? iu? "juice" of the pine tree, containing marvelous healing powers and valuable in keeping water out of the English King's wooden ships. And as early aa lCOn, the French in America were producing Gum Turpentine. Captain John Smith, leader of the James*own colony in Virginia, gave the following directions for obtaining the gum "of the pine tree: "Pyne trees, or ffirre trees, are to be wounded within a yard of the grounde, or boare a hoal with nn agar the third prte into the tree, and lett yt runne into any* thinge that may recey^e the ume, and that wch ysrues owte wilbe Ti: ^r .t;*ne wcrthe 18 L Tonne. When the tree beginneth to runne softelye yt is to be stonped vp agayne for preservcingc the tree." Today an aggressive advertising and merchandising program is setting the Gum Turpentine industry hack on its feet and putting this reliable old product into the homes and on the houses of America, for Gum Turpentine is the original and best thinner and solvent for paints and has many household and therapeutic uses. The progress of this Southern Industry extending from Nofth Carolina through Mississippi-and valued at $25,000,000 annually ia of vital importarice to the South.
