Highway patrolmen in the western

Mr. Vincent Astor of New York has
bought In and will operate the St.

An Astor running a hotel Is nothing
new. You need not be very, very old |
to remember the gray granite “Astor

City Hall on lower Broadway, where
they had roast beef such as you find

Mussolini annoys England; he talks
so plainly—no diplomatic beating about
tbe bush. Bluntly be says to old Bri
tannia: “When you were building up
your empire, killing off tbe Boers to
grab South Africa, taking India from
tbe pot-bellied rajahs, gathering in ev
erything that was not tied down, you
did not care tuppence what the world
thought About you. Now it is my turn
to gather in territory, maybe Ethiopia,
and I rare less than half of tuppence
what you think about It. So mind !
your own business, please."

S ENATOR HUEY BONG, the Louisi
ana Kingflsh, made a tremendous
effort to keep the senate from adopt-
Ing the resolution extending the skele-
-onlzed NRA until
next April, but failed.
Advocating an amend
ment i offered by Sen
ator Gore, which
would have Vrequlred
senate confirmation of
all executive officials
drawing more than
$4,000 a year, thus
disrupting the patron
age machine, Huey
started on a filibuster.
For nearly 16 hours,
with occasional help from Senators
Schall and McCarren, he. kept the up
per house tn session, pouring forth a
continuous stream of discourse that
ranged from the necessity of preserv
ing the Constitution down to recipes
for fried oysters and pot-likker. He
attacked the President and the admin
istration generally, called the NUA
“the national racketeers' association,”
told stories about his uncle, read from
the Bible and > Victor Hugo, stalked
about tbe chamber waving his arms
and croaking as his voice weakened,
and now and then took a bite of cheese
and a sup of cold coffee. All In all,
Huey put on a show that kept not only
the senators but a big crowd of visi
tors up all night. He was continually
heckled by his angry fellow solons but
always had a smashing retort
At last the senate broke down the
filibuster, rejected the Gore amend
ment and passed the extension resolu
tion by a vote of 41 to 13. One
change, to tighten up the antitruBt
laws,' suggested "by Borah, was < made,
so the resolution was sent back to .the
house for concurrence. In its final
form it continues the recovery adminis
tration without codes but with author
ity for voluntary agreements among
business men dealing only with col
lective bargaining, minimum wages,
maximum hoairs, rholition of child la
bor and prohibition of trade practices

men, says it has questioned all editors
and publishers that amount to any
thing, and finds them “overwhelmingly
certain that radical movements are of
no serious trend."
The discovery will comfort many,
but it is well to he cautious. There
is always a possibility of underesti
mating what looks like “radicalism of
no importance.”
Chlii^, because she cannot do other- j
wise, yields in full to Japan’s demands.
That is tlie news from Tientsin, and
it happens because the 400.000,000
Chinese are not prepared for war,
whereas the 60,000,000 Japanese are
prepared.
"Yielding” proha lily will not save
China from another heavy loss of ter
ritory. It is predicted that the young
Chinese enqieror, Japan’s figurehead j
liTManchukuo, will fie moved over and
hack to the old imperial palace, there
to sit again as the Japanese imperial
dummy.
All this It not our business, for It is
happening in Asia. We have plenty
to do here. ,

By its terms factories supplying ma
chinery and materials would be reim

his plan would aid In the production

goods needed by private industry.
Thi War department filed a request
for $17,071,388 to finance the construc

Kansas. The Labor department asked
for $400,000 for research designed to
aid the United States employment serv
ice in selecting and placing workers on
relief jobs and in private industry.
“What’s In a name?” Some young
Republicans want the old Republican
party to change its name from "Re
publican ‘ party" to “Constitutional
party.” Long ago, when the New York
Herald, since dead, reduced its price,
the late Joseph Pulitzer wrote in a
short editorial: “The trouble is not
with your price, it is with your news
paper. Change that."
The trouble with the Republican
party is not with its name.
A dangerous strike is called off in
Toledo, workmen wisely deciding to
deliberate before going ahead with a
strike that might have thrown tens of
thousands out of work.

IN THE "platform” adopted by the
grass roots conference these govern
mental policies were advocated:
1. The immediate adoption of i
policy of economy and thrift in gov
ernment with due allowance for essen
tial relief expenditures as opposed to.
the present spending policy of waste
and extravagance.
2. The prompt attainment of a bat
anced budget, not by the misleading
method of double bookkeeping, but by
tbe honest method of bringing the ex
penses of the Igovernmeut within the
limits of Its Income.
3. * A sound currency based on gold
and definitely stabilized by congress so
that individual enterprise may tyive
confidence in the future value of the
dollar, in terms of which every man’s
plans for his present or future must
necessarily be made.
4. The Immediate withdrawal of
government from competition with pri
vate industry.
5. The maintenance of the vitality
and free growth of American indus
try through the preservation of the
W ARFARE between Paraguay and
Bolivia in the Gran Chaco, which
his been going on for three years,
came to an end after representatives
of the two nations signed an armistice
agreement In Buenos Aires. The truce
was the result of conferences between
representatives of Paraguay, Bolivia
and six neutral nations—the United
States, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile
and Uruguay. An attempt will now be
made to settle the disputes by direct
negotiations. If these fail the World
court at The Hague will be called on
to render Judgment. The war in the
Jungle has cost about 100,000 lifces.

in Mixing Paints.

stood exposure for at least 150 years
on the unprotected faces of mountain
cliffs in southern California will be one
of the objectives of Dr. John P. Har
rington, Smithsonian InstUi^ion eth
nologist, when he resumes ‘ his field
work -among the Mission Indians.
By extensive Inquiries among the In
dians last fall, Doctor Harrington con
firmed the fact that this oil is pressel
from tlie seeds of the chlllcoMie, a spe
cies of wild cucumber. It is now quite
rare, but grows in the southern Califor
nia mountains in places known to the
Indians. Formerly, closely related
plants were found over most of the
United States, but they have become
very scarce. «
Doctor Harrington will try to obtain
enough of the chilicothe cucumbers to
yield a sufficient supply of the oil for^
experimental purposes, to determine
whether it is this Ingredient which
gives the paint its remarkable lasting
quality. The Indians obtain It in the
crudest sort of way, merely crushing
It out of the seeds with a stone pestle.
Five Colors Obtained.
Using this oil as a base, five colors
of paint are obtained. Red pigment Is
manufactured by mixing the chilicothe
oil with red scum from the surface of
springs whose water contains a high
percentage of Iron. White and yellow
paints are obtained by mixing the oil
with native clays of those colors. A
black, which retains its gloss for years,
is made by mixing the oil and oxide
of manganese. Blue can be obtained
from a mix-ture of the oil and* pow
dered azullte—a mineral common In
the neighborhood.
Apparently, no other substance eru
ters into any of these paints, which
withstand ail the vicissitudes of weath
er literally for centuries.
' These rook pictures are referred to
by the Indians as “spirit paintings."
Fresh ones still appear from time to
time in the depths of the mountains.
Near the missions are-some which are
known to be at least 150 years old,
having antedated the coming of the
Spanish missionaries.
. “Spirits" Work at Night.
The “spirits” always work during the
night, their handiwork appearing in
the morning. The paintings, of course,
are the work of medicine men. The
attitude toward them of the people as
a whole is a curious mixture of belief
and sophistication. Few actually be
lieve that "spirits'' produce the picture,
hut some still hold that they are the
work of supernatural agencies working
through the medicine man. It was from
some of tlie shamans themselves that
Doctor ^LLirrington obtained the for
mulas for the paints. . r ~
The oil is also used extensively by
tlie Indian women as a sunburn lotion.
These women, In spite of their red
skins, burn badly when exposed to the
summer sun for long periods. The oil
presumably not only absorbs those

society.
The water supplied to the swim

Country club, Washfngton, Is puri
fied by silver dissolved from long
tubes through which it passes on
the way to the pool. The water not
alone purifies itself, but has a ster

Alcohol solutions when so treated

of the alcohol is reduced, giving
greater opportunity for tlie floral
scents to manifest themselves. *
