Germany has Hi tie and was mainly atolen from conquered fountrloH. The United States jjij? about $20,000,000,000 worth or gold, some of ll being kept In safety for other countries. Ia?i (he financial authorities do any worrying over the threat of this Fritz, who announced plana for Germany to rule the world's markets. He can't abolish wheat and corn; he can't abolish the American farmer. There are hundreds of other tlOnga which he can't abolish, Including gasoline, oil, coal, copper, cows and bogs. He can't wave bis band, speak with an accent coming from the stomach, and abolish lumber, cement, automobiles, airplanes. milk and butter, wool and cotton He can't blandly abolish the Florida and California citrus crops lie can't abolish the American Coiigre^a and the Army, Navy and Air corps. The German accent coming from the stomach is a little strained now, for the German stomach Is somewhat strained Substitutes for food don't do the digestive system any good. German.* has had to abolish many uecuasar* articles of food and clothing and substitute peculiar things for them. One common substitute in emergency ji to put a lot of wheat it: bread ?

Like many other modern Inventions, the utrplune la a blessing <>f great magnitude when properly used, but In Europe It 1? bringing death and destruction to Innocent peoples aa nothing else lata done since 'he discovery of iiunpowder. llufenlug to the use of the airplane In modern war. the Laurlnburg Exchange says: Whether the Wright brothers conferred a blessing or a curse on the human race when they demonstiutod conclusively on the sands of Kitty Hawk thStt,v man can fly. and thus made po'aWB# his mastery of the air, la a mooted question. The airplane Is a new mode of transportation. Rightly used U can bo made to serve man and do. gpod. but aa a weapon of destruction It la most frightful. It bus changed the pattern of war as nothing has done since the Invention of gun powder. TJio greatest Indictment of the airplane la that It brings warfare to noncofnbatanls and civilians and transfers its horrors from the battlefield to streets, parks, the highways, factories, churches, schools and the home. It rains death from the skies on the just and the unjust. And In ^ts wake the broken bodies of women and children and old men bare mute testimony to its terrible effectiveness us a weapon of Indiscriminate destruction. Men said that the airplane would so multiply the horrors of war that men would make war no more. That may [he its ultimate achievement but for i the present It construes a terrible threat to world civilization and might easily turn the clock biic'k a thousand years for freedom and liberty and justice Monroe Enquirer. a de-golded world The Germans seem to have gold on the mind our gold on their minds. And always they predict the gold hoard In the I'nited States will become worthless. This is done so often one begins to suspect the Germans may fear our gold will not become worthless. In a recent Issue the German magazine Deutsche Allgemetne '/.eitung declares the United States will find itself the only nation posessiug monetary gold, and that no other nations will he interested when we propose to use gold In trade. \\ riting as if in the future, the author of the article says this: "Washington offered Europe gold 1 loans, which, however, were coolly declined. Finally they prepared to give them half gold, asking only that Europe therewith build up a super-currency. which should function in world trade. This .too. was declined. Then he Americans began issuing gold coins in order to re-awaken individual interest in gold. Hut tills experiment, too. failed ? the people weren't interested in carrying the heavy gold coins and furthermore, tho masses were indifferent to gold, evaluating money correctly according to the amount of mod* they were atHfT to purchase with it. .

The hawkblll, the green and the loggerhead are well known| They have tough, leathery skins, or plates, as they are usually called, which Is really a horny shell or series of shells. The hawkblll turtle has thirteen plates of shell, the central ones, trlau. Kular. six or seven Inches wide and weighing eight pounds or more Instead of the plates being Joined together by their edges, so as to ipake one piece of shell, they are tain* tied off at posterior margins and overJap each other, like the shingles on a roof. From these plates the most beautiful tortoise shell is made and used for decorative purposes all over the world. In earlier days many a shipwrecked crew round life-saving sustence In turtle meat and turtle soup and large quantities of turtle were carried on sailing ships. Turtles live to be very old and attain great sUe. One captured and taken to Kngland weighed 560 pounds and its shell measured fifty-five Inches In length. Another, sold in London, weighed S70 pounds. Our land turtle Is usually herbivorous. His neck Is retractile, often drawn back Into his shell until he seems to have no neck at all. His shell Is not convex like that of his brother who lives in the water. Instead It is flattened and it only pat tly ossified. Hut all turtles have the tough, leathery skin. And their twisted legs and club shaped feet are what probably gave their name, for tortoise comes from the French word, "tortis," which means twisted. The terrapin Is a fresh water tortoise common along the Atlantic coast. It is seldom more than six or seven inches in length of shell. Un- like, others it is bright and varied in color. On the land it is slow in motion but once in the water it moves with surprising swiftness, and woe he unto the tiny fish or frog that comes into its path when it is hungry. The snapping turtles have long necks that dart out like a flash and withdrawn Just as quickly and often their prey disappears with it. Dull, aw*kward and with slow-hitching gait, the mud turtle makes his way across the flats, but here again X'u i in e limes its utam; ucucaiu >? drab of shell. For these same creatures have given much of beauty and of food to mankind and in return mankind should be considerate of them.--Our Dumb Animals. FIRST DEFENSE AGAINST FIRE The public at large has been educated to the need for modern building codes dealing with fire prevention. control and protection. Practically all of the larger cities have more or less adequate codes In effect. And the smaller communities of the country nave shown a praiseworthy Interest in developing the passing codes suited to their needs during lato years. However, the citizens and the public officials must he on guard against the mistake of believing that .once a new code has been legalized, or an old code modernized, there is nothing more to worry about. For, in far Loo many instances, codes are dead lette;s on the statute books. They are only half-heartedly enforced, or not! enrol-., d at ail.

"What are women going to be up to next?" For right now they are developing an interest In greasy, oily motors. Mauloure or no manicure, thoy are finding It fun to tinker with the wheel^ that go around. This Ih coming to light in the application* women are making for the newly organised Women Flyers of Amortofc which the founder-president, Miss Chelle Jauls of New York, doscribed today aa a non-profit women's reserve aviation corps. Here to further plans for recrultipg. a nation wide corps of women with a hankering to fly and desire to "stand steady" if needed in national defense. Miss Janis said alio was surprised at the many applications from women interested In mechanics. They don't want merely to learn to fly, but to know all about airplane motors and how to fix them. It may bo that aviation will slfow that women are motor-minded." said Miss Janis, a crisp, alert, dark-eyed young woman. "Men Instructors tell me that if women" are mechanical-j minded thoy make good mechanics." This should Interest Uncle Sam for, said Miss Janis, one objective is to train women in aviation so that if there is ueed they can take over non-combatant Jobs and release men for fighting." "Women could fly bombers, but wo don't think they should." she said. "But there are many tilings they can do?fly the mails, supply ships, air ambulances. They can handle weather reports. "They could work in aviation factories. Women who are skillful in mechanics could serve as ground work instructors and teach men beginners. Yea. We are planning to do just that." The women flyers, directed by a six-woman board and founded in June, has about 750 members?women doctors, a woman plumber, actresses, school teachers, telephone operators, and debutants. Miss Janis explained that arrangements were being made with aviation fields throughout the country to give the members flying instruction at a moderate flat rate. The organization is supported by membership fee and a small profit on optional equipment, she saiu. OLD TIME POLITICS Greenwood Index-Journal. At a political speaking at Warm Springs. Georgia, last Saturday, ardent and over-heated followers of Candidate 'Gene Talmadge and Candidate Abit Nix indulged in a good old time fisticuff ?and broke up the. speaking for ten minutes while peace officers and others tried to subdue the fighters. It was a hot day and tempers were hot and the fighting must have been hot work. Fighting with fists, the cave man style, is hot work at any time but at noon on a day like Saturday, It must have been hotter work than pulling fodder in mid-August. f It all started when Candidate Talmadge wanted to know where the Nix crowd was that had been advertised as coming down to make trouble for Talmadge. A large group stool up an.l the Talmadge whoopers made for! them Noses began to bleed from fist contacts and a gorgeous row was on. The affair must have been a replica of the hot titties South Carolina had fifty years ago. HUSBAND 64 YEARS SAYS OVERLOOK 'LITTLE FAULTS' . Wglhalla. July Hit ? L. T.

GOING TOO FAR A Mid-Western university has recently notified- a number of former students that they wftl not be admitted this fall It becomes a case of radicalism playing too prominent a part in the college class rQ^m. Some colleges knowingly accept communism within the ranks where groups of Impressionistic youngsters act radical to be different or cause a disturbance. Many of them do not honestly believe In it. Many schools have fought this situation and not with a trace of hysteria or "down with them." It Is displaying sound sense to convince the student that democracy is tho ideal government and if he desires to fob low antis /ind Isms ho should not do it at the expense of tbe state that Is educating him! All of our readers believe. in free speech and the personal pursuit of happiness, if that Is what the young radical wants, but as taxpayers they don't want to help pay tho expenses while the propaganda is spread.?Pee Dee Advocate.
