U/. J^icJcaJuT •f ^ SUMMARIZES THE WORT.r SUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK Q Western Newspaper Union. Asf Business to Help ri i E of the officials who will have 4 most to do with carrying out the President’s spending-lending drive went on the air in a nation-wide broadcast and urged that business co operate with the ad ministration in re storing permanent recovery. These speakers were Sec retary of Agricul ture Henry A. Wal lace, WPA Adminis trator Harry L. Hop kins, acting PWA Administrator How- •• Harry Hopkins ard A. Gray, United States Housing Administrator Na than Straus and Brig. Gen. John J. Kingman, acting chief of United States army engineers. Outlining his plans for use of fed eral funds allocated his agency, Hopkins said that the purchase of materials alone for WPA projects will give indirect, full-time private jobs to 250,000 workers, in addition to relief jobs for the unemployed. “And so the WPA money flows, like the blood in the human body, giving life and strength to the eco nomic system all the way from its toes to the top of its head,” he said. Secretary Wallace said that under the new agricultural legislation the farmer is in good shape to do his part in the recovery drive. “If business would only start pro ducing as it knows how to produce, the market for agricultural products would expand during the next year to a point which would help amaz ingly in bringing about a solution of the farm problem,” he said. Gray, who has been administering PWA affairs in the absence of In terior Secretary Ickes, said that the spending of money set aside for public works under the recovery program should result in industry’s receiving $1,000,000,000 in orders in the next two years. Straus outlined his agency’s pro gram of slum-clearance and low- cost housing and said that it will result in increased employment and the “creation of that finest and most needed of all commodities—better homes for Americans.” The administration’s flood control program, General Kingman said, will produce “equally beneficial re sults not alone in the reduction of human suffering,” but in keeping open business channels and provid ing additional employment. —*— Terrible Train Wreck LYMPIAN, crack passenger train of the Milwaukee road bound from Chicago to Tacoma, Wash., crashed through a flood- weakened trestle over Custer creek, near Saugus, Mont., and at least 40 persons perished, most of them be ing drowned in a submerged tour ist sleeper. About 65 others were injured. This was the worst railroad wreck in America in recent years, and it sadly marred the safety record of the Milwaukee road which had not lost a paying passenger in accidents in the previous 20 years. The eleven-car train ran into a cloudburst near Saugus but the crew ha** no warning of the trestle’s condition until the engine plunged through the span, dragging sev eral cars after it. Wage Law Effects CTRAIN of the new wage and hour ^ law on industry, say labor ex perts in Washington, will be eased by the existing unsettled economic conditions. They size up the situ ation thus: At industry’s present pace not more than 200,000 wage earners in manufacturing industries would get more pay. The big high speed industrial ma chines, such as automobile plants, hardly will be touched by the law. It will affect certain garment fac tories and a very small number of textile mills. It will affect the fertilizer industry of the South and southern sawmills. Even when business is as good as it was last summer, unofficial es timates indicate that only about 260,000 factory workers would be affected by the 25 cent wage mini mum of the law, end somewhat more than 1,000,000 workers would find their hours shortened by a 44 hour weekly limit, effective next October. At the outset the law’s effect will be to improve “the worst condi tions” in certain industries engaged in interstate commerce, the econ omists believe. Child labor provisions will affect mainly scattered minors working at odd jobs in various mills and fac tories. > $ 'Keep Out of Politic*' CENATOR MORRIS SHEPPARD VJ of Texas and the senate cam paign expenditures investigating committee of which he is chairman has directed all gov ernment agencies to take no part in pri mary and election campaigns. And it has issued warning that persons sus pected of improper political conduct will be exposed and cited for criminal prosecution. The committee at its first meeting adopted a resolution pledging that its investigations will be conducted with “vigor and vigil ance” without fear or favor and without partisanship. The warning against use of improper tactics was directed first to all candidates for senatorial offices, their friends and aids. It was then extended to all government agencies. Besides Sheppard on the commit tee are Senators Harrison, David I. Walsh, Joseph O’Mahoney and Wal lace White. * German Spies Indicted A FTER five months of investiga- tion by government agents, 18 persons were indicted as spies by a federal grand jury in New York. Moreover, no secret was made of the fact that they are charged with being spies for the German govern ment, engaged in obtaining informa tion concerning our national de fense. Four of the defendants are in this country and will be tried here. The others, including three German offi cers, are abroad. —*— John Roosevelt Weds IN A little old stone church at Na- hant, Mass., John Roosevelt, youngest son of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and Anne Lindsay Clark were made man and wife. After the ceremony there was a reception in the old Nahant club, and the young couple then started on a honeymoon trip to Campobello Island, N. B., the location of the President’s summer home. Senator Sheppard Calls Germany Welsher /^.ERMANY insists she is not li- able under international law for the foreign debts of the former government of Austria. In reply Secretary of State Hull says, in polite language, that Germany is a welsher. His note on the subject, delivered by Ambassador Hugh Wil son, contends that Germany, when it absorbed Austria, assumed full responsibility for Austria’s post-war debts to America and other liabil> ties totaling about $50,000,000. Senator Van Nuyt, Congress Session Ends ' 1 'HE Seventy - fifth congress brought its labors to a close and adjourned, thanked by President Roosevelt for the constructive legis lation it had enacted. In its one special and two regular sessions this congress set a peace-time rec ord by appropriating more than 20 billion dollars. Almost at the last moment the 314 billion dollar relief and pump prim ing bill was enacted into law. The house accepted a senate amendment boosting the appropriation for ad ministrative expenses of the Rural Electrification administration from $500,000 to $750,000. Agreement was reached on the S00 million dollar second deficiency bill when the senate concurred in the action of the house in knocking out $325,000 to purchase additional land for the Lake Tahoe National park and $1,300,000 for forestry. Both senate and house repassed over the President’s veto the bill continuing the 3V4 per cent interest on Federal Land bank loans on farm mortgages. Scores of bills of varying degrees of importance were lost in the con fusion of the last hours of the ses sion. Among them was the bill au thorizing federal law enforcement officers to tap wires to get evidence of violations of law. The relief and pump priming law as enacted includes 1 billion 425 mil lion dollars for the Works Progress administration for a period of eight months, beginning July 1; 175 mil lion dollars for the Farm Security administration; 75 million doUars for the National Youth administra tion, and 965 million dollars for the Public Works administration. It au thorizes the PWA to lend up to 400 million dollars from the sale of se curities pledged for previous PWA loans. It increases the lending limit of the United States Housing author ity for low-cost housing from 500 million to 800 million doUars. It appropriates 212 million dollars for additional “price adjustment” sub sidiaries to farmers. * Senators to Aid Van Nuys FREDERICK VAN NUYS, senior 1 senator from Indiana, is going to run for re-election as an independ ent because he was read out of the Democratic party for opposing the Su preme court and government r e o r- ganization bills. Now 10 Damocratic senators have come forward to support him and will speak in his campaign. They are: Bennett Champ Clark, Missouri; Burton K. Wheeler, Montana; Josiah W. Bailey, North Carolina; Harry Flood Byrd, Virginia; Joseph C. O’Maho ney, Wyoming; Edward R. Burke, Nebraska; Tom Connally, Texas; Peter G. Gerry, Rhode Island; Mil lard E. Tydings, Maryland, and Guy M. Gillette, Iowa. Joining with them are two Repub lican senators. William E. Borah of Idaho and Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan. * Senator Copeland Dead EXHAUSTED by his labors and the heat in Washington, United States Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York died just, before the adjournment of congress. He was in the sixteenth year of his service in the senate and had been an indefati gable worker. He was a consistent opponent of many of the adminis tration’s policies and was one of the leaders in the fight against the court packing and government re organization measures. Political observers in New York believed death cleared the way for Governor Lehman to attempt to ful fill his ambition to go to the senate. They said, however, that this would be opposed by President Roosevelt and that the President’s followers probably would rally in support of a ticket composed of Senator Wag ner for re-election and Representa tive James M. Mead of Buffalo for Copeland’s unfinished term. * Great Floods in China DOURING through broken dikes, *■ the waters of the Yellow river inundated many hundreds of square miles in central China. In the first two or three days of the great flood it was estimated 150,000 Chinese were drowned and several times as many rendered homeless. Millions of others were threatened by the swirling waters. * Nazis Attack Jews ERMAN officials and German VJ mobs were making life almost unbearable for the Jews. In Berlin and many other localities Jewish shops were smashed and daubed with paint, and hundreds of Jews were arrested and sent to concen tration camps. The Jews were panic stricken and foreign consu lates were thronged by men and women trying to get permission to go to other countries. It was reliably reported that the secret police were ordered to make a checkup of all Jews in Greater Germany. —* President of Uruguay T T RUGUAY returned to a demo- cratic constitutional regime with the inauguration of Gen. Al fredo Baldomir as president and Dr. Cesar Charlone as vice president. Baldomir based his campaign on c pledge to end fascism. Star Dust ★ Goofy Comedies ★ ‘The Sheik* Is Funny ★ Restless Holiday By Virginia Vale I T LOOKS more and more as if those goofy comedies were on the wane. First Carole Lombard said she’d have no more of them. Now Claudette Colbert, who helped to start the cycle with “It Happened One Night,” has balked. It was planned that she would do "Are Husbands Necessary?” when CLAUDETTE COLBERT she returned from that European jaunt, but instead she’ll go to work in “Midnight,” which is romantic and dramatic and everything but goofy. Speaking of “It Happened One Night,” it was revived recently in New York, and a lot of people who’d heard about how funny it was but had missed it the first time round had a chance to -ee it. And the addicts who went to it over and over when it was first released found it just as funny as ever. —*— The revival of Valentino’s “The Sheik,” seems to have been ill-ad vised. Any picture that old is bound to look funny nowadays. And the generation of movie-goers that has grown up since the days of Valen tino just couldn’t understand why he had been such a world-beater. Some of them roared with laugh ter. They thought Agnes Ayres, the heroine, a bit too fat—though in her day she was considered stream lined! However, no matter what the young folks thought of that picture and the other Valentino revival, “The Son of the Sheik,” they brought mobs to the theaters and money to the box offices. *— It looks as if George Arliss had been tempted into returning to Hol lywood, thanks to Samuel Goldwyn. Goldwyn has a picture called “The Exiles” on the fire, based on the stories of the many famous men who have had to leave their homes in Europe because of political trou bles. Arliss would play the role of a distinguished scientist. * Warner Brothers will, at last, screen “The Miracle,” with Bette Davis in the coveted role of the Nun. Ever since it was so success ful as a dramatic spectacle—in Lon don in 1911 and in New York in 1924—there has been talk of doing it for the rcreen. Now, with Max Reinhardt, its original producer, available, they are ready to start. * When Bob Bums ducked away from Hollywood for a rest, prepara tory to taking over the Bing Crosby radio pro gram for the summer, he didn’t do so well in choosing a spot to rest in. He and his wife went to New York, but were so besieged by people that they left and went to Buffalo— he wanted to show her Niagara falls. And the public caught up with them again. He might try wearing a mask, if he really wants to rest! —*— Margaret Tallichet, a compara tive newcomer to the screen, will be Ramon Novarro’s leading wom an in "As You Are.” When and if Gone With the Wind” reaches the screen she will be seen as Kareen O’Hara, younger sister of Scarlet. Miss Tallichet tried the summer the aters in the East last year, as a way of getting much-needed experi ence.

Bobby Breen won’t have the kind of financial trouble that Jackie Coogan is having when he grows up; his parents have arranged to put his earnings into a trust fund, keeping t200 s month for themselves . . .

PARTON NJEW YORK.—It is perhaps just as well that Crosby Gaige is a bachelor. He drags home 200,000 patent models, including a corpse d t. i as preserver, heg- Bachelor Hat catcher, burglar 200,000 Odd alarm, an early Gadgeta Ho « printing press, a dentist's chair, a machine gun, an egg-beat er, an engine, a steamboat, a pret zel-bending machine—and so on- and on. The patent office models had been gathered by the late Sir Henry Well come qod kept at his estate in 3,251 packing cases. Mr. Gaige bought them. A friend of this writer, remem bering with remorse he hadn’t bought a birthday present for his wife, stepped into an auction room. He became confused and bought ten barrels of tin cookie cutters. It almost broke up his home. Mr. Gaige will have no such trouble. Mr. Gaige was born the son of the postmaster at Skunk Hol low, N. Y., and became a Broadway theatrical producer, with a 306-acre estate at Peeks- kill on the Hudson, where he in dulges his taste for knickknaeks such as the above, but with more discrimination than this ensemble suggests. He is a gourmet, with 300 cook books in his kitchen, has a de luxe machine shop where he makes art objects, is a master of viticulture and a maker and connoisseur of beautiful wines. He has cattle folds and breeds blooded cattle, a printing plant where he prints typographical knock-outs in limited editions, a huge library with 5,000 reference books, and is distinguished both as a bibliophile and a cook—one of the best cooks in the world, his friends say. All these concerns are merely extra-curricular. In his 29 years on Broadway, he has T heat era hit off his full Out of Red share of successes, for 29 Yeare built three thea ters and kept steadily out of the red. In Colum bia university, he wrote the 1903 varsity show, “Hlusia.” He got a job with the late Elisa beth Marbury, famous play broker, reading plays at ten cents an act. He saved his money and headed into the show business with a fast running start. His life is the fulfillment of every commuter’s dream. He is of clerical, almost monkish mien, of somewhat austere countenance, with octagonal pince-nez and, like all epicures, abstemious in all things—saving such things as patent models. He wears red, white and blue sus penders and is very fussy about his handkerchief pocket. He always has the tailor sew a button on it. • • • A N ATTACK of laryngitis gave Margaret Sullavan her big start. Lee Shubert saw her in “Three Artists and a Lady” at c tz. . Princeton, and oore i nroat rushed back-stage Gave Start with a contract. to Screen Ace “You have a voice just like Ethel Barrymore,” he said. She explained that it was mere ly laryngitis, but the excited Mr. Shubert wouldn’t listen. There was nothing to be done about it, so the helpless girl was signed for five years. That was a bit of luck which, in Miss Sullavan’s career, off sets embarrassing entangle ments in some of the mo»; elab orate flops in current stage history. Today, she is at the peak of her career as critics turn cartwheels and back flips over the new film, “Three Com rades,” and Miss Sullavan’s performance therein. Her story has none of the up- from-poverty success routine. She is the daughter of a prideful family of Norfolk, Va., a descendant of Robert E. Lee. Her journey to Boston to study dancing was in dulged as a passing whim, but there was considerable family eye-rolling when she switched to the theater and began adventuring in summer stock, on Cape Cod and way points. Her father got her home once, but only for a short time. It is to be hoped that her story won’t be widely circulated around Hollywood. It would 'tart all the extra girls sleeping in a draft. Q Consolidated News Features. WNU Service. The Average Month We are apt to think of our pres ent months as having four weeks apiece, but that is not true. The average month contains just about four and one-third weeks. The only month with four weeks in it is Feb ruary, and in leap year even Febru ary has one day over four weeks. Gall Bladder Troubles By DR. JAMES W. BARTON « Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service. W HEN a patient complains of indigestion, with or without vomiting, gas attacks, pain in upper right side of ab domen, it is likely a physician, by stating that the symptoms are due to the gall bladder, would be right three times in four. Pain in stomach with gas attacks is more often due to the gall bladder than to any trouble in the stomach itself. Most of us think of gall bladder disturbances as “always” causing jaundice but special ists in stomach, in testine and the en tire digestive appa ratus, tell us that there can be consid erable disturbance in the '"'*11 bladder without uie appear ance of jaundice. Dr. T. Grier Mil ler, Philadelphia, in the Delaware State Dr. Barton Medical Journal, stetes: "In our stomach and intestine clinic, leav ing out those whose symptoms are not due to any organic defect, 38 per cent of those with indigestion have inflammation of the gall blnd- der (cholecystitis). Vague symp toms of indigestion, not easily ex plained by any findings and that do not respond to treatment for stom ach and intestinal conditions should arouse suspicions of gall bladder disease.” May Net Be Due to Stones. Another point emphasized by Dr. Miller is that the fact that stones are present in the gall bladder should not be considered definite proof that the stones are causing the symptoms of indigestion. “Since 15 to 30 per cent of all adults are be lieved eventually to have gall stones, and many of them go through life without symptoms, it seems hardly justifiable to condemn to operation every individual in whom stones are accidentally dis covered. If, however, there are no other causes for the symptoms pres ent, everything else being equal, the stones should be removed." When no stones are present. Dr. Miller advises that the patient be given medical treatment for a few weeks or months and if results are not satisfactory, operation on the gall bladder be performed. • . . Diet for Healthy Child. Dr. Julian D. Boyd in Journal of Pediatrics says: "As a guide in designing the diet of a healthy child of school age, the following have been specified as a desirable basic or foundation daily intake, to which other foods may be added: 1 quart milk; 1 or 2 eggs; 1 ounce butter; 1 teaspoonful cod liver oil; 1 orange or tomato or ap ple; 1 additional serving of fruit; 2 servings of vegetables, one of fibrous nature (cabbage, cauliflow er, celery, whole grains, spinach); 1 serving of meat, fowl, fish or liver. “Milk is the basic or foundation food as it is not only the best source of calcium (lime) but is also a valu able source of protein—the body building food, and of the vitamins B. and G. Vitamin B is especially valuable for children as it promotes growth and appetite, and is greatly needed by nerve tissue. Vitamin G also promotes growth in the young and vigor in the adult.” This foundation or basic diet as advised by Dr. Boyd offers parents a simple diet to follow to maintain the health and strength of the healthy school-age child. Mountain of Silver In some parts of the world nat ural wealth is heaped upon the in habitants lavishly by nature. Trin idad has her vast lake of pitch from which millions of tons have been shipped to all parts of the world. Lake Magadi in East Africa has in exhaustible stores of pure soda. But it is queer to find a mountata of valuable mineral, all ready to be carted away, says London Tit-Bits Magazine. "Der Erzberg,” the Iron mountain of Styria, Austria, is 50 per cent pure iron, estimated by metallurigsts to contain about 300,000,000 tons of ore. Sweden, too, owns an iron mountain—Kiirunava- ara—which contains the largest quantity of high grade iron ore in the world. It is about 70 per cent pure iron. But Bolivia beats both these so far as sheer wealth is con cerned: the 5,000-foot high Cerro de Potosi has yielded more than £3,150,000,000,000 worth of silver to the world. Edith CaveU’s Burial Edith Cavell, the nurse who was executed as a spy in the World war is buried, just outside St. Luke’s chapel, under the wall of Norwich cathedral, England. It is the old burying ground of the monks, a little eastward-facing grass plot called Life’s Green. Her grave is marked by a white marble cross; it is plant ed with evergreen herbs for the winter time, lilies for summer, and for the early spring a cluster of daffodils.
