XJEW YORK.—Among his com-
panions in barnstorming, Glenn
L. Martin was known as “The
Dude,” although his carefully tai-
. lored flying suits
Martin Had were always
Cat-Up of black, including
Mortician their elaborate
braid trimmings,
flis somewhat mortuary get-up and
behavior gave an impression of
great conservatism, and it is not
surprising that he got backing from
the bankers when other aviators
failed.
A few months ago, he said his
Glenn L. Martin company, of Balti
more, making planes, had a back
log of $15,500,000.
He told the house naval af
fairs committee there should be
a 100 per cent increase in air
armaments, that foreign nations
are spending ten times as much
as the United States. He would
build a 250,000-pound bomber,
carrying SO men and a 4,000-
pound bomb load 11,000 miles.
In 1912, this writer saw him put
an inflated inner tube around his
neck, strap a compass on his leg
and take oft to sea, at Avalon bay,
Los Angeles, ia a flying laundry
wagon on which he had rigged a
single wooden pontoon. He was
bound for Catalina island, 20 miles
away. It looked like suicide.
He not only made it, but picked
up again at Catalina and finished
_ . the round trip,
Round Tnp blanking Bleriot,
Sea Flight whose flight over
Is Success the British chan
nel was a one-way
excursion. He had made the plane
in an abandoned church.
The flight got him world atten
tion. Then he staged a plane coyote
hunt, dropped a ball into a catcher’s
mitt and a bouquet into the arms
of a beauty contest queen.
This air extravaganza did not
last long. In 1913, he built and
sold two model TT war planes
to the army, and has been build
ing fighting craft ever since,
with the exception of trans-Pa-
cific Clippers.
He grew up in Mackburg, Iowa,
built a pusher plane in his back
yard and flew it in 1908. He is
fifty-two.

\X7ILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
/ ^ in his. seersucker suit and his
. rumpled hat, frequently looked as
if he had been sleeping wider a
( bridge, especially
Bryan, Jr,, in the midst of a
Fastidious hard campaign.
About Dress His son, William
Jennings Bryan,
Jr., is fussy about his dress, severe
ly and fastidiously groomed, with
a jaunty little moustache and a nice
collection of malacca sticks, sports
clothes, and varied haberdashery.
He is in the news now as he be
comes collector of customs at the
port of Los Angeles, his first recog
nition by the California Democracy,
in whose vineyard he has labored
for years.
When his father laid down his
staff and scrip at Dayton, Tenn.,
he picked from the legacy only
two tilings—free silver and anti
evolution. He is quite unmoved
~ by oratory, speaking with calm,
legalistic precision, with no gift
for the resounding or oracular.
He has made spirited forays
against this or that, notably Upton
c x. Sinclair’s “Epic”
Iv mi Speak heresy of 1934, but
Good Word with no such im-
for Silver passioned fervor
as that which in
spired his father. But, when oc
casion offers, he puts in a word for
silver, or against evolution.
After the Dayton trial and his fa
ther’s death, he made a knightly
vow that his lance always should
be leveled against this ignoble the
ory of man’s origin. But nobody
seems to be bringing that up now.
The argument is shifting to where
man is going.
He attended the University of Ne
braska three years, studied law at
Georgetown university, went to Ari
zona on account of his wife’s health,
and practiced law, first in Arizona
and then in Los Angeles. He is
fifty years old.

Origin of Word Assassin
The word assassin originated in
Persia in the Eleventh century. It
derives from haqhish, the intoxicat
ing Indian drug which at that time
was used by notorious murderers
under one Hasan-i-Sabbah to work
themselves into the high state of
ruthlessness required for their
crimes. As a tactic in attacking
vested authority assassination is as
old as man. It is notably the most
ubiquitous and immediate of dan
gers to autocratic government, as
has been proved by the violent
deaths of a high percentage of dic
tators from Julius Caesar to those
pf modern times.

General
Smigly-Rydz
Victory for Poland
O NE immediate threat of Euro
pean war seemed to be dis
solved when Lithuania yielded to
the demands of Poland for resump
tion of normal dip
lomatic and trade
relations and virtu
ally gave up its
claim to Vilna, for
mer capital of the
country, which the
Poles seized 18 years
ago. General Smig
ly-Rydz, chief of the
Polish army and
"strong man” of Po
land, -had mobilized
his troops on the
Lithuanian border,
and Polish warships were cruising
off Memel. So there was nothing for
the Liths to do excepfcsgive in. Pol
ish troops that had been concentrat
ed in Vilna paraded in celebration
of the bloodless • victory, but in
Warsaw the celebration was dis
torted into a “pogrom” in which
riotous throngs attacked all the Jews
they could find, killing several and
wounding scores. Hundreds of Jew-
ish-owned shops were smashed be
fore the police could restore order.
The mobs were made up largely
of National Democrats, opposed to
the government, who protested that
the settlement with Lithuania was
too lenient. They demanded that
Poland invade and annex Lithu
ania.
Col. Joseph Beck, Polish foreign
minister, declared that Poland
would guarantee Lithuania’s inde
pendence. The Liths, however, were
extremely bitter over the conces
sions they had been forced to make
to their more powerful neighbor.

Mexican Oil Seizures
PRESIDENT CARDENAS of Mexi-
1 co announced the expropria
tion of oil properties belonging to
American and British companies
and valued at some $400,000,000.
Wells, refineries and tankers were
seized and workers took control of
all company offices in the repub
lic. The American and British
employees and their families fled.
For the present the oil industry in
Mexico was paralyzed.
The companies concerned began
legal action attacking the consti-
tutionality of Cardenas’ decree, and
It was said would carry the case
to the highest court. Both the
United States and Great Britain
were expected to challenge the
seizures and similar action threat
ened in the case of mines as vio
lation of treaty obligations.
The action of the Mexican gov
ernment was not entirely unexpect
ed for it was the culmination of a
long and bitter controversy between
the oil companies and Mexico’s
board of labor concilation and arbi
tration over a $7,300,000 wage in
crease ordered by the board.

Armed Peace: No Alliances
A MERJCA must pursue its quest
for world peace, but must fol
low a policy of arming for protec
tion of its rights against “interna
tional lawlessness.”
So declared Secre
tary of State Cordell
Hull in an exposition
of America’s foreign
policy and a discus
sion of all aspects of
the world situation.
He spoke at the Na
tional Press club in
Washington and his
address was broad
cast over the land
and to other nations
by radio.
In brief, he set forth a policy of
peace, no alliances, collaboration
1
Secy. Hull
with peaceful nations, military pre
paredness, and opposition to the
“seclusionist” viewpoint.
“It is my considered judgment
that, in the present state of world
affairs, to do less than is now pro
posed would lay our country open
to unpredictable hazards,” he said,
referring to the naval expansion
program.
“The momentous question,” he
said, “is whether the doctrine of
force shall become enthroned once
more and bring in its wake, inex
orably, international anarchy and a
relapse into barbarism.”
He did not refer to any nation
by name, but his implication with
regard to legal recognition of Aus
tria’s absorption by Germany and
Japan’s expansion in China was
clear when he said:
“The catastrophic developments
of recent years, the startling events
of the past weeks, offer a tragic
demonstration of how quickly the
contagious scourge of treaty-break
ing and armed violence spreads
from one region to another.”
He disclaimed “the slightest in
tention to entertain any such notion
as the use of American armed
forces for ‘policipg the world.’ ”
He specifically opposed the pro
posal the United States retire from
the Far East.
In the Far East crisis, Hull said,
the United States has “consistently
collaborated with other peace-seek
ing nations.”
The triumph of the “seclusionist
viewpoint,” he said, “would ines
capably carry the whole world back
to the conditions of medieval chaos,
conditions toward which some parts
of both the eastern and the western
worlds are already moving.”

House Passes Navy Bill
AX/’ITH only a few votes in oppo-
v y sition, the house passed the ad
ministration’s billion dollar navy
bill. The measure authorizes con
struction of the largest battle fleet in
American history by adding 46 com
bat ships, 22 auxiliaries and 950 air
planes.
The War department announced
that army and navy officers were
about to study plans for an enlist
ment program that would put more
than two million men under arms
within four months of a declaration
of war. For this the army would
require 1,250,000 recruits and the
navy 500,000.
The first 300,000, under existing
plans, would be sought as volunteers
in the first month, before selective
draft machinery like that of lOlT^’lS
was put intto operation. Already
prepared for quick submission to
congress is a draft of a selective
service law.

Morgan Defies F. D. R.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT on-
^ dered Chairman Arthur E. Mor
gan of the Tennessee Valley Au
thority to recant charges against
his colleagues or face suspension
or ouster, but Mr. Morgan chal
lenged the President’s powers to
remove him and said flatly that he
would not resign.
The chairman asserted:
“I challenge this action by the
President and deny his right to re
move or suspend me. I stand on
that. If I sum up my attitude I can
say that I do not choose to run
away.”
He then took a train for Yellow
Springs, Ohio, for a visit with
friends.
Morgan told newspaper men he
has obtained legal advice on his
conflict with the President. At the
same time it was learfied Mr.
Roosevelt uncovered a law under
which, advisers assured him, he is
empowered to oust the chairman.

chool Lesson

Dean of the Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.

Lesson for April 3
SERVING OTHER RACES
LESSON TEXT—Mark 7:24-37.
GOLDEN TEXT—God is no respecter of
persons. Acts 10:34.
PRIMARY TOPIC—The Lord of AIL
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Lord of All.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Showing Good Will to Other Races.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Practicing Christian Brotherhood Toward
All Races.
“God iff no respecter of persons”
(Acts 10:54). He who by reason of
His infin’.te knowledge might well
draw lines of distinction between
them is loving and gracious toward
all, not willing that any should per
ish, extending his mercy to men of
all conditions and all races. But
men, whose knowledge is so limited
that they cannot even rightly judge
the thoughts of their own hearts,
are quick to discriminate against
their fellow man because he is of a
different race,' color, or social posi
tion.
A leader in the Southern Baptist
church recently pointed out that
the number of heathen in the world
has increased about two and a half
times as rapidly as the number of
Christians, which means that at the
rate of progress of missions during
the last generation the world has
become more heathen at the rate of
six million a year, and now we
are retarding the process still fur
ther. Because of financial depres
sion we are recalling missionaries.
When the world is ablaze with sin
and God-denying political theories
we withhold the gospel it needs. It
has well been said that such strat
egy is like closing the hospital be
cause an epidemic is in progress.
Jesus had gone into Syrophenicia
and the region of Decapolis (look
them up on the map) to rest. But
the need of the Gentile people (to
whom He was not at that time called
to minister) impelled Him to help
them also. Note how they were
stimulated to believe, how their
faith was tried, but triumphant.
I. Faith Encouraged.
The Greek woman and the man
of Decapolis were led to believe in
Christ in two different ways.
1. By hearing about Jesus. The
woman “heard of him” (v. 25) Paul
says, “Faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God”
(Rom. 10:17). Are we diligent in
season and out of season, teUing the
story of Jesus and His love? If so,
men and women of our acquaint
ance will hear of Him and be ready
to call on Him in the day of their
trouble.
2. By a personal meeting with
Jesus. The man was deaf; he could
not hear about Jesus, but he could
see Him. To him the Lord came
in person, and by the sign language,
related in verse 33, He stirred his
heart to believe.
H. Faith Tested.
I. By obstacles. The woman met
what seemed to be a sharp rebuke
(v. 27), although it was no doubt
much tempered by the tender voice
of Jesus, and by the fact that He
did not use the word “dogs” as the
Jews did in speaking of the Gen
tiles. He spoke kindly, and He
talked of the “little dogs” which
were the pets of the household. But
her faith was greatly tried, just as
ours often is, not that it should fail,
but that its strength might be dem
onstrated.
2. By natural handicaps. Jesus
put no impediment in the way of the
man, for he was already hindered
by nature. How often do we not
feel that in our very personalities
and bodies are those things which
hinder our full apprehension of the
grace of God. Shall we then give
up in discouragement? No. The
man believed right through the
barrier of unhearing ears and a
speechless tongue. We can do like
wise by the grace of God.
III. Faith Rewarded.
1. By deliverance from the devil.
The woman’s daughter was set free
because of her faith. Men and wom
en around us need to be delivered
from the devil. Perhaps you who
read these lines are in need of such
deliverance. “Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31).
2. By deliverance from personal
limitations. The man’s “ears were
opened . . . and he spake plain”
(v. 35). What is the unfortunate
trait of personality, the handicap of
body or mind that holds you back
from accepting Christ as Saviour,
or, having done so, from the full and
free development of your spiritual
life? Faith in Christ cuts right
through the hindering inability. He
said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient
for thee: for my strength is made
perfect in weakness.”
Temper
We are told, “Let not the sun go
down on your wrath,” but I would
add, never act or write till it has
done so. This rule^-has saved me
from many an act of folly. It is
wonderful what a different view we
take of the same event four-and-
twenty hours after it has happened.
Forgive Your Enemies
And be ye kind one to another,
tender-hearted, forgiving one anoth
er, even as God for Christ’s sake
hath forgiven you-—Ephesians 4:32.
Very Smart New Fashions
14-69
A HOUSE dress with long slen
der lines, a dress and apron
for little girls, and a popular bo
lero frock for slim young figures!
You will certainly want one of
these, and more likely will want
all three. With each pattern, you
receive a complete and detailed
sew chart specially planned to
help beginners, so that the mak
ing will be easy, and save you
money besides.
Popular Bolero Frock.
Make it up of silk crepe or a
pretty print, and see how expen
sive, how flattering, it looks! The
short bolero and wide shoulders
make the slim lines of the frock
even more graceful. Notice how
cleverly the dress is shirred into
the front panel at the waistline.
This is one of the prettiest after
noon dresses you could choose for
this spring.
Dress and Apron for Tots.
Your little girl will be so proud
of having this heart-shaped apron
to put on over her best dress when
she plays house! And the puff
sleeved, square-necked dress is
adorable. You can make the two
of them in no time. For the
dress, choose dimity or organdy
for dress-up; gingham or percale
for every day. Dimity or lawn
for the apron.
House Dress for Large Figures.
This is such a becoming, com
fortable, good-looking dress to
work in, round the house. The
lines are so straight and unham
pering, and pleats in the short
sleeves give plenty of room for
stretching and reaching. It takes
inches off the figure, too. Make
it , up in seersucker, gingham,
linen or percale printed in small
designs.
