Spending our Sunday morning in
the breeae of an electric fan when we
should have been at church, we perusod
the morning papera ahd several
maKH and then did a lot of rumluatlug.
Kor Instance, as one writer culled
attention to. the meetlug between Edward,
then Prince of Wales anjl Wal
lie Slmpeon, some aeven yearn ago,
wan Just an accident, but an accident
which the writer states, changed the
destiny of millions of people.
That meeting resulted in the Prince
of Wales getting mighty interested in
Wallle. What happened la well known,
llut what ia not ao well known la that
aa King of England, Edward Windsor
wart very friendly to Germany and
much In favor of an Anglo-German
alliance. This eaaily could have become
a reality.
And another thing the general public
does not know. The Bending of
Edward Windsor and hie wlfo to the
Bahamas has aomo Interesting Implications.
Ab a matter of fact, Prime
Minister Churchill sent the Duke, who
he personally liken a lot, to the Bahamas
to get him far away from the
theater of war as possible.
? ? ?
And why, may you well ask. The
answer Is that only a few weeks ago
the Duke of Windsor wrote to his
brother King George protesting
against the refusal of Prime Minister
Churchill to try and make peace with
Germany. He Informed the King that
unless Churchill changed bis viewpoint
he (Duke of -Windsor) was going
to express hia reai ?opinlou of
Churchill and the English government
In a public broadcast.
" And in tho meantime Germany prepares
for the blast that will wipe
England from the map, at least thut
1? what Hitler hopes will happen.
Hut we wonder. Germany Is going to
find the battle something vastly different
from anything she has encountered
so far in tho war. England may
hold out for a few months?we hope
longer But we must face these facts
?Germany's fighting equipment with
the exception of battleships, Is superior
to England by a two to one margin.
Hut. as the newspaper ^ writer says
However, as Charles Darwin wrote,
we should endeavor to keep our
minds free so that we may give up
any hypothesis once facts as shown
to be opposed to It." j
Stop Bean Beetle i

buyers beware of substitutes harmful
or less effective than derris or cube
dust In control of the Mexican bean
beetle, warns W. <\ Nettles, extension
entomologist.
"Other materials on the market

some Instances serious foliage Injury
has occurred from the use of these(
materials, and in all instances less
satisfactory control has been obtained
than experiments indicate would
have been obtained by the use of derris
or cube preparations.
"Widespread and universal satisfaction
with derris or cube dust in
bean beetle control Is proclaimed by
many bean growers throughout the
/tate. and many bean plots have been
thus protected during the present season
In striking contrast are the unprotected

been completely defoliated by tbts
bean beetle On many of these patches
damage was so complete that not
e-ren the first picking was attempted.
"Several inert carriers may be used
to dilute the ground up derris or cube
root The ready-mixed dust should not
contain less than three-fourths of one
per cent rotenone The ready-mixed
dust Is easy to obtain and most farmers
have seen fit to use it in tho control
of the bean beetle.
"The bean beetle, botl^ larvae and
adults, feed on the under surface of
the leaf". Mr Nettles explains. "The
first applieatIon should be made as
soon aa the beetles appear and followed
at weekly intervals until control

Nearly Ready
Largest Liner Every Built
Here to Be Finished
Late in June.
NEW YOKK.?The America, largest
liner ever built in the United
States, is rapidly nearing completion
in Newport News, Va.
The 30,000-ton vessel is scheduled
to be delivered to its owners?the
United States lines?on June 28, after
a series of triul runs.
Construction of the vessel represents
nearly five years of negotiations,
planning, designing and building.
Total cost is approximately
$17,000,000.
Originally built for the New YorkSouthampton-Cherbourg
- Hamburg
transatlantic express service, the
owners of the America with the advent
of a European war are faced
with the problem of what to do with
the ship.
Since the restrictions of the United
States neutrality act forbade ships
with the American flag to enter waters
of belligerent nations, the United
States lines' main service has been
maintained by its liners Manhattan
and George Washington plying between
New York and Genoa. However,
it was felt that there is not
sufficient freight and passenger
service on this run to warrant adding
the America to it.
Seaworthy and Safe.
Regardless of what service it eventually
may enter, the completion of
the America gives the United States
merchant marine a vessel which is
big, fast, comfortable, and above
all, seaworthy and safe.
In keeping with its name, the
America is really an American ship.
Nearly all of the 48 states contributed
iome material for its construction.
The job of interior decorating
WM done mostly by two young
American women?Dorothy Marckwald
and Anne Urquhart, who ar.e
pioneers in what has always been
the very masculine profession of
shipbuilding.
The mural decorations are being
done by eight well-known American
artists?Barry Faulkner, noted for
his map-charts; Pierre Bourdelle,
who has invented a secret process
for making mural decorations of
carved linoleum, treated with paint,
gold and silver leaf, lacquer and
wax; Constantin Alajalov, famous
for his amusing drawings; Griffith
Coale, Hildredth Miere, Charles
Baskerville, Andre Durenceau and
Austin Purves Jr. No foreign or
"period" styles will be seen anywhere,
but only American contemporary
iieiida.
Modern Equipment.
Accommodations are provided for
577 cabin (first class) passengers,
409 in tourist class and 233 in thirdA
crew of 639 officers and men will
man the vessel. There are eight
elevators on the ship?and even the
third class will have one. All cabins
in the first and tourist class will
j have adjoining bathrooms. There
are 24 public rooms, large swimming
pool, garage, post office, kennels,
telephone service and many
other conveniences. The promenade
deck is enclosed in glass from
| top to bottom, so that one can see
the ocean sitting in a deck chair,
without the necessity of arising to
look over the rail.
Some of the details about the ship
are as follows:
Displacement, 34,370 tons.
Gross tonnage, 30,000 tons, (estimated).
Length, 723 feet.
Beam, 92 feet.
Power, 34,000 shaft horsepower.
Number of stacks, 2.
Cost, $17,000,000.
Men employed in building, average
of 1,200 for 130 weeks.
Number of decks, 11.
Elevators, 8.
Museum Party to Study
Bogs of New Jersey
TRENTON, N. J. ? The 30,000
acres of salt water swampland in
Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Union
counties were once covered by thick
cedar forests which sheltered bands
of bandits in the 1700's the state departm'Ait
of conservation disclosed
in announcing that the American.
Museum of Natural History would
explore the area.
Many of the trees, the report said,
were felled or burned to ''destroy
cover for the outlaws who lay in wait
for foot travelers or coaches."
Fires set by railroad locomotives,
inundations from the ocean and exploitation
by lumbermen completed
the process of converting the area
into a wasteland, the department
said.
Flat Feet Are No Longer
"Bar to Army Rccpuft^
I BUFFALO?Eye and teeth defects
have replaced flat feet as a
major cause of rejecting applicants
, for enlistment in military services
, here.
This is agreed by non-commisI
sioned officers in charge of Buffalo's
i army, navy and marine corps re|
cruiting stations.
"We don't get one in 50 with flat
feet now," First Sergeant Ralph W
Carnngton, U. S. M. C., explained,
"although that used to be one of the
major causes for rejection during
the World war.
"Weak v sion and an inadequatf
number of sound teeth reject many
applicants now."

Novelette: A young widow with a
small daughter, she made every effort
to conceal her extremely modest
circumstances when a wealthy
bachelor seemingly became interested
in her. So, through sacrifices,
she kept the child in a fashionable
boarding school. Recently, Helene
came home for vacation and the
bachelor invited mother and daughter
to a noon breakfast at one of
the swank hotels. Sure of the child's
table manners, the mother accepted.
Helene ordered strawberries
and cream and the mother and the
host, a mixed grill. The strawberries
appeared promptly but the
grill didn't. So the host called the
captain of the waiters and while
Helene listened with undisguised interest,
complained about the service.
When he had concluded, the
cjrild piped up, "Why don't you take
u* where mommy apd 1 go? You
don't have to wait there. You juat
put nickels in and food comes right
out."
Street Scene: Children playing on
the sidewalk along one of the dingy
streets of Hell's Kitchen . . , yA
'broad-hacked young man comes
along, picks up a boy and a girl>
slings them to his shoulder and trots
toward a soda fountain . . . While
the small boy, his hands gripped in
tousled black hair, shouts proudly
to other kids, "He's niy pop" . . .
A wagon, gay with geraniums, stops
in front of a tenement and prospective
customers come out to inspect
the stock ... A pale-faced woman,
with a baby clutched to her breast,
watches from a window, a strange
expression in her eyes as they rest
on the blooms . . . Suddenly she
holds the baby still closer and pulls
down the shade.
Feminine r it was during the Children's
Crusade when youngsters all
over the country were contributing
pennief to help boys and girls in wartorn
Europe. The teacner In one
of the sixth grade schools had carefully
explained to her pupils that
each child was to give one cent for
each year of his or her age. Nevei>
theless, an 11-year-old girl turned in
21 cents. The teacher called her attention
to the fact that she had given
10 cents too much but the little girl
insisted the amount was correct
so the teacher asked for an explanation.
"I didn't make a mistake," maintained
the 11-year-old. "I heard my
mother tell the election man a lady
is never more and never less
than 21."
Variation: One of the rapidly rising
youngsters on the legitimate
stage is Brenda Forbes, a sister
of Ralph Forbes and quite a bit of
an actress in her own right. Miss
Forbes began her career in serious
drama, playing with Katharine Cornell's
repertory company in such
memorable productions as "Romeo
and Juliet," "The Barretts of Wimpole
Street," and others. Next she
played with Orson Welles in "Heartbreak
House," portraying a 70-yearold
crone. Several Theater Guild
productions followed. Now, on
vacation from drama, Miss Forbes
is singing, dancing and clowning in
that hit intimate revue, "Two for
the Show."

Trans-Pacific: One of the favorite
gags among telegraph folk is a?
inquiry as to whether Shanghai is
on the list of places to which those
greetings can be sent for 25 qents.
So when a young man came into a
midtown office the other afternoon
and asked that question, the young
woman behind the counter merely
turned up her nose. He repeated
his inquiry and she snapped that
Shanghai was entirely out-ofbounds.
With that Jhe young man
said he was sorry b^c^use he had a
sweetheart in Shanghai and wanted
to send her a message. The girl i
came to Ufa then and after a Utt.te j
investigation discovered that while'i
Shanghai wasn't in the two-bit classification,
there was a special greeting
rate. And so the message to
the far-away sweetheart was duly
dispatched.
End Piece: Walter Houston and
Francis Lederer dropped into Ruby
Foo's Den the other evening and
Lederer ordered a chicken sandwich.
When it arrived, he asked
for an extra plate, removed the
pieces of chicken and told the waiter
to take them back. The Chinese
waiter asked if there anything
wrong with the chicken.
"No," replied Lederer. "I merely
want to eat a couple of slices of
bread but was ashamed to order
them and nothing else."

Lack of Tourist*

GRINDELWALD, SWITZERLAND.?The
absence of foreign
tourists in Switzerland during the
European war was a good thing
for the proprietor of the Baeregg
Mountain inn and his family. The
inn remained empty and the pro

close the inn. Next night an avalanche

THB WASHINGTON MONUMENT
The gigantic obelisk on which w?
dHlly look out from the Nation's capttol
Is merely a symbol of thpt monument
which George Washington left
us in the form of this great Kepubllc
the hope of civilisation ? which
we trust will eudure for ages yet to
come.
It, also, symbolises that monument
which his mcipory has Implanted In
the hearts of all true, patriotic Americans.
The "sheer marble sides of the monument
rises 565 feet In a clean line
from the ground, fifteen feet thick
at the base and eighteen Inches at
the top. The peak is finished with
an aluminum cap, protected by lightning
rods. The monument's sides contract
and expand In a breathing movement.
Inside, "rain" fall* whan, with
a sudden change of weather, warm
air strikes the cold stones. Disintergration
of material between the
stones is constantly checked by forcing
In new cement. If he cares to walk
down, there are 898 steps he can use
and at the same time read the many
inscriptions on the atones. Many of
them state the philosophies of the
donors, advertise their products or
sing the praises of their localities.
This monument is emblematic of
the life and character of our Nation's
first citUen. It is a towering finK?r
of rectitude continuously.. pointing
heavenward, indicative of the unblemished
character of the Father of his
Country.
It is plain to the point of severity?
not even bearing upon Its surface
the name of the Individual whose
life It Is deslpied to commemorate,
for the siniple reason that no name
is needed. Everyone who looks upon
it knows Instinctively whose life It
represents. It towers above all other
momuments as Washington's character
towered above all the undulating
mass of humanity. It is square in its
construction, indicative of a life that
stood foug-Bquare to all the world
amidst the turmoil, confusion, and
strife of the upheavals of his day
It is the same in times of war, when
about its base are gathered the patriotic
forces of the Nation going
forth to fight for the principles which
ha. sustained; it is the same in times
of peace when those forces have melted
back into the walks of private life
and affectionately gather about it to
celebrate the dawning of a better
day,
Amidst the snows of winter, it forcibly
reminds us of that majestic figure
at Valley Forge; while in the
heat of summer the children of d
n6w* generation playing beneath Its
shade, remind us of the matchless
blessing which his heroic sacrifices
in times of war enable us to enjoy in
times of peace.
It reminds us of that flag which
waving amidst the smokes of battle,
inspired the writing of The Star
Spangled Banner.
Thus the symbol of America s
greatest patriot, like his life Itself,
continuously points the way for succeeding
generations of Americans to
arrive at the accomplishment of the
greatest good for all; emblematic of
that character which in sunshine and
in storm, in peace and in war. in
youth and in age, in public and in privae
life stood "constant as the northern
star."
Th.ft corner Rinne waa tatd in
and the monument was dedicated on
February 21, 1885, by Robert Winthrop.
October 9. 1888, it, was opened
to the public. The total cost of
the monument, including transportation
of donated stones, reached well
OVeKone and a half million dollars.
\ The weight of the foundation is 36,912
tons and the weight of the monument
81,120 tons.
The first elevator in the monument
was a steam hoist, used until
1900, when the first electric elevator,
requiring five minutes for the ascent,
was installed. The latter was condemned
In 1922 and replaced in 1927
by the new electric elevator which
makes the ascent in 1 1-4 minutes,
operating on a fixe-mlnute schedule.
