Landon Calls on G.O.P. A LF M. LANDON came to the surface in a radio address to 17,000,000 Americans who voted for him in the last election, and es pecially to the Re publican party as a whole. He said he had called this “ra dio meeting” to sug- gest ways and means by which “we, the minority party,” can be of outstanding service to the country. The Kansan de- , . dared President AUM.Landon Roosevelt had failed as an administrator, had failed to follow the Constitution, and now was demanding increased power. “What he really needs is less pow er,” Mr. Landon asserted, “a posi tion that will force him to take the advice and counsel of other men of both parties—men whose hearts also are in the right place, but men who have had more experience and who know more about the practical application of government than he does.” It is up to the Republicans, he said, to curb Mr. Roosevelt in his demands. He also discussed the war talk prevalent after the Presi dent’s Chicago speech and said: “We are faced with a situation where he may make a mistake that would indeed be tragic, that might lead to war. Close observers have increasing doubt if he thought his recent declaration through to its logical conclusion.” In conclusion Mr. Landon said: “We have had a New Deal. Now what we most need in America is a new yardstick—a yardstick to meas ure the ability and the accomplish ments, as well as the good inten tions, of public officials. “It is time to put a solid founda tion of workable legislation under the air castles which the President forever is blowing. “It is time to realize that we must apply the resources of the mind if we are to make the wishes of the heart come true.” —*— Farmers Warned on Loans TOWARD A. O’NEAL, president ■*-' of the American Farm Bureau federation, headed a group of farm leaders who called on the Presi dent for the purpose of asking loans of 60 cents a bushel on com to improve prices. It was understood Mr. Roosevelt warned that crop loans should not be pushed so high that the drain on federal revenues would become too heavy; and that he intimated that the budget would not permit great extension of loans at this time. However, Secretary of Agriculture WaUace subsequently told a press conference a government loan on this year’s large com crop “should be exceedingly desirable.” He de clined to say what loan rate he fa vored, but conceded that a com loan of about 46 cents a bushel would be comparable to the government’s 9 cents a pound loan on this year’s cotton crop. —k— Credit System Praised PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, speak- * ing at the opening of the new Federal Reserve building in Wash ington, gave full praise to the fed eral reserve system as a most im portant part of the government’s plans for economic stability and se curity. He said disastrous depres sions and booms could be avoided only by the development of the credit and monetary machinery of the nation. That machinery, he continued, “must be st eadily perfected and co ordinated with all other instruments of government to promote the most productive utilization of our human and material resources. Only in that way can we hope to achieve and maintain an enduring prosper ity, free from the disastrous ex tremes of booms and depressions. Only in that way can our economic system and our democratic institu tions endure.” Mr. Roosevelt avoided mention of the jittery condition of the stock markets, but before delivering his address he had seen Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and learned that the market was recov ering, due to heavy buying by bar gain hunters and perhaps to recov ery of confidence by investors. Among the many notable persons on the platform with the President was Senator Carter Glass of Vir ginia, who fathered the federal re serve system during the Wilson ad ministration. The veteran senator was loudly cheered. —*— Roper Has a Program TJANIEL C. ROPER, secretary of commerce, also made a speech in Washington, under the auspices of the Rotary club. His subject was the economjp relationships of the nations of the western hemisphere, and he proposed this four-point pro gram which he believed would bene fit the entire world: 1. United action throughout the Americas for the publication of ver ified facts about every country, stressing constructive events and objectives rather than prejudice, crimes, and disrupting events. 2. The introduction into the edu cational system of every country study of other languages so that each country would be better pre pared in attitude and knowledge to help develop its own country. “This means,” he said, “that no country will exploit the resources of another country.” 3. Encourage tourist travel among all the Americas by truthful adver tising and better travel facilities. 4. Broader studies by the coun tries in the western hemisphere of each other’s economic and social needs in the light of the individual country. —*— New Budget Figures PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT found 1 his estimate of $418,000,000 as the probable deficit for 1938 fiscal year was much too low. So he gave out new budget figures putting the prob able deficit at nearly 700 millions. And it admittedly will be much greater unless the executive and congress achieve very considerable economies. —■k— Felix Warburg Dies TELIX M. WARBURG of New *■ York, one of the country’s fore most financiers and philanthropists, died at his home at the age of sixty- seven. He was senior partner of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., international bankers. Between 1920 and 1930 he gave at least ten million dollars to various philanthropies, and for years he was active in the efforts to aid the Jews in Palestine and those driven from Germany by the Nazis. Airliner Wrecked; 19 Dead S MASHING against Hayden peak, in the Uinta mountains of Utah, a big transcontinental airliner of the United Air Lines was totally wrecked and its passengers and crew, numbering 19 persons, were killed. The debris was sighted by scout planes some 10,000 feet up the mountainside, but efforts of rescue parties to reach the scene were hampered by heavy snow. Bela Kun Seized A CCORDING to an official com- munist publication in Moscow, Bela Kun, Hungarian who has stirred up lots of trouble in the past, has been arrested by the Rus sians and charged with “Trotskyist” activities, which usually means the death penalty. Kun was dictator of Hungary during the short-lived com munist republic after the conclusion of the World war. mmm FW Norman H. Davis ambassador. Rebels Take Gijon ('IREAT BRITAIN, France and It- aly—with Germany on the side lines— were still trying to come to agreement for the removal of volun teers from Spain, but Generalissimo Franco wasn’t waiting. His forces in northwest Spain pushed forward to surround Gijon, last important loyalist seaport in that area, and in surgent warships blocked escape by way of the sea. The commanders of the defending loyalist troops real ized their predicament and surren dered the city unconditionally. The place was crowded with 130,000 half- starved refugees. The loyalists still were in possession of some strategic points in that sector. Occupation by the Italians and Germans of two island groups off the coasts of Spain was reported in Paris newspapers. It was alleged that the Italians had occupied the Columbretes is lands only 40 miles off the east Med iterranean coast and had established a submarine base there. Normally the islands are occupied only by members of a lighthouse crew. Germans were alleged to have oc cupied Alboran island, 50 miles off the south Mediterranean coast and directly in the path of all shipping to and from Gibraltar. The Ger mans were said to have established a submarine base on the island, likewise used principally heretofore as a lighthouse station. Davis Sent to Brussels NT ORMAN H. DAVIS is on his way to Brussels, Belgium, as head of the American delegation to a con ference of the signatories of the nine - power treaty which, the optimists hope, will put an end to the warfare be tween Japan and China. More realis tic observers of the course of events have no such expec tation, for the pact has no “teeth” and the conferees can do little except talk. Associated with Mr. Davis, the ad ministration’s roving are Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck and Pierrepont Moffat as advisers. Rob ert T. Pell is the press officer and C. E. Sohlen is secretary of the delegation. Before sailing for Europe the dele gates received instructions from President Rocsevelt and Secretary of State Hull, but these were not revealed to the public. The invitation to the conference was issued by the Belgian govern ment “at the request of the British government and with the approval of the government of the United States.” China and Japan are both signatories to the treaty. The for mer accepted the invitation to the Brussels meeting, but it was be lieved Japan would not be repre sented there. Tokyo has maintained the policy that the Sino-Japanese troubles must be settled without the intervention of other nations. Russians in West China T OKYO newspapers stated that 15 Soviet Russian planei, co-oper ating with Soviet land forces, had bombed Kashgar, Yarkand, Karg- halik, Khotan, Gumer, and other cities of Sinkiang, westernmost province of China, in a battle against Mohammedans. The troops were said to have occupied several sf the cities. —* Mine Disaster /"'OAL gas exploded in the Mulga mine in Alabama 12 miles from Birmingham, and the lives of 33 miners were snuffed out. Five hun dred men were at work in the mine at the time, but fortunately the ex plosion was four miles from the en trance. The blast was the first since the operation of the mine was taken over by the Woodward Iron company, large producers of mer chant iron in Birmingham. How ever, 56 men had been killed at Mulga in former years. —-k— Lindy" Still American O UMORS that Col. Charles A IN Lindbergh was planning to be come a British subject seem to be false, for he has just accepted a five year renewal of his commission in the United States army air corps. Army officers expressed the belief privately he would not have re newed his air corps tie if he in tended changing his allegiance. The airman has retained his military status since his graduation in 1925 from the air corps flying school at Kelly field, Texas. —-k— Palestine Terrorism B RITISH military authorities took stern measures to suppress the violence in Palestine, but appar ently without success. The Arabs continued their attacks on the Jew ish people and buildings and in Jerusalem began using bombs. Gen. A. P. Wavell, commander of the 10,000 British troops in Pales tine, ordered the homes of Arab terrorists burned, following the de struction of Kalandia airport, near Lydda, with an estimated loss of $50,000. Sixty persons were arrested for breaking the twenty-four hour cur few which amounts to virtual mar tial law. If this sort of thing keeps up. Great Britain is likely to make Pal estine a crown colony instead of • mandate. Irvin S. Cobb our form of ran i.i> 3hJmhdahout Relief for Aliens. S ANTA MONICA, CALIF.—If an American were depend ent on public charity in any continental country, he’d be out of luck and out of that country, too, as quickly as they could him out. If, in addition, he openly attacked the government of that country, he’d still be out of luck because he’d be in Jail. Hundreds of thou sands of aliens are on relief here. Many of them slipped across the borders through leaks in our immigration laws— and brought their folks with them, al so to be cared for at the taxpayers’ expense. Some are avowed enemies of government. Steps to oust such parasites are balked on the ground that to do so would work hardships on their fam ilies. You could say the same thing for bedbugs. We’re starting to register these non-residents. But it’s to be a “vol untary” registration, not compul sory. Any person in the audience, besides Madame Perkins, who be lieves the undesirables will come a-running to list themselves, and risk deportation thereby, kindly raise the right hand. • • • Champion Crooks. T RUST California to turn up with a world’s champion of some thing. They arrested a man on sus picion of burglary and forgery and organizing a training school for ju venile criminals and first one little thing and then another. Surely that would seem to be ca reer enough, but this party had ad ditional claims to recognition. He admitted he had been sentenced to forty-nine terms in various jails and penitentiaries, which in itself would seem to constitute an inter national record, and said that in forty-three of these cases he had been paroled. He didn’t explain how the big hearted parole boards failed to turn him loose before he . finished those x^pigining six sen- tei'ces. It must be profound regret to the boys ir Alcatraz and other bide-a- wee homes conducted by the feder al government that, owing to the cruel refusal of Uncle Sam to go into the paroling business on a wholesale basis, none of them, how ever ambitious, has a chance to equal this splendid showing. The honor remains where prop erly it belongs, constituting a mag nificent tribute to the beautiful mush-headed theory that a state's prison should be a clearing house and not a strong-box with a time- lock on it. • • • Nasi Influence. I ’VE been talking with a friend just back from Germany. In old days, I liked Germany as a land flowing with gemuetlich hnd good beer and a superior line of liverwurst. I won der whether I’d like it so well now. Because this fellow says every minute everybody must give the Nazi salute and say, “Heil, Hitler!” If a citizen wants his eggs fried, he says first to the wuiter, “Heil, Hitler!” If he wants ’em turned over, he says it twice—once for each egg. There’s a swastika flag flying over practically every house. Absence of a swastika flag signifies that the folks who used to live there are now in the hoosegow for failing to fly same. My friend may have exaggerated somewhat, but, I think, not much, because while talking we came abreast of a Leiderkranz cheese in a delicatessen store window and involuntarily he said, “Heil, Hit ter!” • • • Nominating Barkley. OANVASSES show Senate Leader Alben Barkley gaining as a pos sible Democratic nominee in 1940. It’s high time we had somebody from Paducah for President. For a hundred and fifty-odd years this republic has fooled along without one of our local boys sitting up there in the White House, writing messages to congress condemning the use of sugar in cornbread and proclaiming that, if any traitor dares to pull down fried catfish, shoot him on the spot. With Alben on the job, we’ll not only have homegrown statesmanship in job lots, but silver-throated ora tory, which, by comparison, would make Patrick Henry aerfn like a tongue-tied man suffering from chapped lips. For A1 can talk an hour and never use the same word twice or the letter “r” once. Nominate Barkley and that night there won’t be a dry throat in Mc Cracken county. Elect Barkley and—well, I always did think I’d make a middling fair Secretary of the Interior; certainly nobody could botch up the Indian bureau worse than it is. IRVIN S. COBB. WXU S«rrlc*. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. C Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 7 CHRISTIAN CHARACTER AND PEACE LESSON TEXT—Colossian* 3:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT—And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body.—Colossians 3:15. PRIMARY TOPIC—In His Name. JUNIOR TOPIC—In His Name. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How May I Have Peace? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Christian Cure for Strife. i Armistice day is but a few days away, a fact which was probably in mind when the title of our lesson was chosen, for while it speaks of “Christian character” it also refers to “peace.” But the peace spoken of here is the peace of God which is the result of peace with God and which issues in holy living. The only hope of this world for a real and lasting peace is in the winning of men and women to glad alle giance to the Prince of Peace, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Altogether proper is the close con nection in Scripture between the most profound spiritual truth and practical holy living. Whether it be done in a land of enlightenment or in the midst of heathen darkness the teaching of the deep things of God brings forth in the receptive heart an appreciation of God’s provision for our redemption, a consciousness and haired of sin and an appropria tion of victory in Christ. All three of these factors emerge in the study of our lesson. I. “Seek Those Things Which Are Above” (w. 1-4). Faith in Christ makes us one with him in his death and in his resur rection. We are therefore to live in resurrection power. Our Lord has entered into heaven, and is there seated at God’s right hand. If we are in him, if we have died and arisen with him, we are dead to the things of this world and our £ne desire is to “seek those things which are above.” The mystic union of the believer with Christ brings us so close to God our Father that we may say with the poet: "Near, so very near to God. Nearer I could not be. For In the person of His Son I am as near aa He.” We are “hid with Christ in God.” He is our very life. Note however that this union with Christ ex presses itself in a most practical manner for we as Christians are admonished to H. “Mortify Your Members . . . upon the Earth” (w. 5-9). The- most spiritual Christian is the one who is most sensitive to sin and most earnest in his purpose that it should be mortified—which means “put to death.” We may not temporize—we must not com promise with sin. Put it to death. The list of things which are to be put away include a number of sins which we recognize at once as ut terly inconsistent with a Christian profession. But note also that there are a number of them which are all too common among Christian peo ple — covetousness, anger, wrath, malice, and so forth. Lying and shameful talk are condoned by some (and practiced by many). IH. “Put On the New Man” (w. 11-17). Christianity is positive. We put off sin—we put on righteousness. Knowing no lines of racial or creed- al distinction we recognize Christ as “all and in all." Then as “God’s elect, holy and beloved,” we are clothed with the Spirit of Christ. Tenderhearted, kind, lowly, meek, of a forgiving spirit, long-suffering; all these Christlike ways of living should appear in those who are hid with him in God. As the encircling band which holds together these beautiful and precious virtues, we have love, “the bond of perfectness” (v. 14). These outward manifestations of our oneness with Christ have an in ward controlling power—for in our hearts “the peace of Christ” is to “rule.” The word means to serve as “umpire,” as a referee in times of difficulty. There in the Christian man’s inmost being we also find the “word of Christ” dwelling, really abiding, and not in scarcity but “richly.” Small wonder that there is in such a heart a never-ending song which glorifies God’s grace and which helps and admonishes others. Our final verse sums up the life of the Christian, for in whatsoever he does there is but one motive, one purpose—a willing thankful re sponse to the will of God. He does nothing that he cannot do in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Thought of God The thought of the Divine excel lence and beauty, how far it is ex alted above us and yet how sweetly it shines upon us. Result of Experience Experience is a grindstone; and it is lucky for us if we can get brightened by it, and not ground.— W. H. Shaw.

M ★ DUST Radi one 10 ★ ★ A * * ★ A Katherine Hepburn ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★ F OR months you will be hear ing about the great success of the film “Stage Door,” partly because it is such an entertain ing picture, but more because it is proving a turning point in the careers of the many young actresses who appear in it. Katherine Hepburn, so long totter ing on the brink of whimsy and ob livion, returns to the early forthright manner of her great success, “Morning Glory” and really tugs at your heart strings. Ginger Rog ers proves to be a fine dramatic ac tress. Andrea Leeds and Lucille Ball make dramatic bits stand out so effec tively that they have already been re warded with leading roles. Constance Collier, for many years a great idol of the London and New York stage, proves that she can be equally effective in motion pictures. Jack Benny has every leason to be proud of his wife’s motion-pic ture debut. In Paramount’s “This Way Please,” Mary Livingstone tosses nonsensical lines about as deftly as she does on the nation’s favorite air program. This picture also serves as the film debut of Fib ber McGee and Molly, those pleas ant homey folks of the radio, and Nrings back Buddy Rogers. He isn’t as young and exuberant as he used to be, but he can still lead a band. Crowded as the picture is with big- time favorites, two youngsters man age to walk off with a large share of the honors. Betty Grable is a little bombshell of vivacious beauty and Rufe Davis proves to be the most hilariously-entertaining of all hill billies with an imitation of a man sicking his hound dogs on a pig in a potato patch. Decision on putting little Leatrice Joy Gilbert, daughter of the late John GUbert, in the leading role of “National Velvet’’ is sUll in abey ance, but she is assured a future in films. She will make her debut in “Benefits Forgot,” an ambitions production in which Walter Huston will play the lead at Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer. —*— * With Ruth Mix, daughter of Tom Mix, starting on the first of four cowgirl pictures she will make for Grand National, this young com pany is assured more Westerns for release during the coming year than any other company. Tex Ritter is making eight musical Westerns for them, and Ken Maynard is coming back from his tour with the Cole Brothers circus to make eight dra matic Westerns for them. Frances Dee retired from the screen long enough to have two babies and bring them up to the tod dling are and when she returned to play in “Sonls at Sea” she was not at all sure that she wanted to go on with her career. Now, how ever, she finds that working doesn’t keep her away from her babies very much and she enjoys being able to swap professional studio talk with her husband, Joel McCrea. Paramount is equally enthusiastic over her return and will put her in the lead of “Dream of Love.” Ernst Lubitsch, Gary Cooper and Claude'.te Colbert have all been mark ng time while Par?* mount officials sea' ched for just the rignt actor to play a very important role in “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife.” They were getting dis couraged, when they happened to go to a party where “The Prisoner of Zenda” was shown, and as soon as they saw David Niven they chorused “That’s our man.” Luck ily, he was just on his way back from England, and Sam Goldwyn to whom he is under contract had no immediate plans for him.

Lionel Barrymore has gone off to England to work in Robert Taylor’s picture being filmed at Oxford . . .

Gary Cooper Home Heating By John Barcfaf Hooting I Hints Building Furnace Fire Is Easy Operation When You Follow Few Simple Rules IT’S really no trick to build a * good furnace fire quickly and easily. Leave a layer of ashes about two inches deep spread on the grates. Spread about two inches of coal over this layer of ashes. Over the coal, place a generous amount of kindling—newspapers and light, dry wood. The turn damper in the smoke pipe and the ashpit damper should be open wide. If the ashpit damper ■ \ on your furnace is in back, open it and also the ashpit door in front. This assures maximum draft and quick ignition. When the kindling is burning well, add fresh coal gradually. In this way you get a deep fire in little time—the kindling burning the coal beneath it, and the fire, in turn, igniting the coal above it. From time to time, add additional fuel until you have a solid, deep fire. When this is done, check your dampers and close the asly pit door. Should the kindling while ignit ing smoke a bit through the fur nace door crevices, it is due to the chimney being cold and not providing enough draft to carry off the smoke. This is easily overcome by wadding a bit of newspaper, lighting it, and in serting it into the check damper. This heats the air, creating a draft in the flue pipe and chimney and carries the smoke away. Constipated? What a difference good bowel habits can make!
