Show THE SAUN A SUN. SAUNA. UTAH War Brings Strange Sights Safe to Eulogize Washington, D. C. F.D.R. RESISTS PRESSURE TO SEND NAVY VESSELS WITH SUPPLIES The most important question discussed in inner administration circles before the President made his recent defense Bpeech was that of using American warships to convoy supplies across the Atlantic to Irish or British waters. This question probably was in the Presidents mind also when he wrote the speech. The problem has been debated among some of Roosevelts close advisers ever since British emissaries brought word that while England could withstand airplane bombardment it could not withstand the continued sinking of its merchant vessels. The British also made it clear U. S. destroyers that more over-ag- e would not do the trick, because the royal navy was running short of trained crews. So far, the President has shied away from any such drastic step as using American naval vessels to ruard supply ships across the Some of his advisers have leaned toward the idea, but Roose-te- lt has argued against it. He maintains, first, that it would be in violation of the Neutrality act and could not be done without an act of congress; second, that if an American naval vessel were sunk it would mean war. Some of Roosevelts advisers contend that the last thing Hitler wants is to bring the United States into the war; that the effect on the German people (who remember how the United States tipped the scales in the last war) would be devastating. However, the President hasnt fallen for the idea yet, though he is watching carefully the effect of his speech THE GARDEN HOSE AND THE FIRE (As suggested by Mr. Roosevelts comparison of bis proposed aid to England in which be said that if your neighbor's house were on fire you would gladly lend him your hose and not charge for it.)

There Shall Be Wings When Leonardo da Vinci, standing at the edge of the precipice on Mount Albano, saw the flying machine of his designing crash in the valley below, he cried to the winds, so one of his biographers states; There shall be wings. If the accomplishment be not for me, tis for some other. It shall be done. The spirit cannot lie; and man, who shall know all and who shall have wings, shall indeed be as a god. Three years before Columbus' discovery of America, da Vinci wrote in his notebook: If the eagle can sustain himself in the rarest atmosphere, tf great ships can float across the waves, why cannot likewise man, by means of powerful wings, make himself lord of the winds and rise conqueror of space? The question was answered, the prophecy was fulfilled in the New World to which the ships of other pupil led the way.

New York Times. Tos-canel- lis ft Panama-America- and Our idea of an insomnia cure is and searchlight positions on Panamanian territory to the U. S.

Isaza seems firmly convinced that Hitler is sure to dominate the world and has had great influence with his chief in the presidential palace. It is important to remember that in order to defend the Panama canal, army operations outside the actual Canal Zone, on territory of the Panama Republic, are necessary. This was provided for by the first treaty negotiated by Secretary of War William Howard Taft, and gave the U. S. army the right to use Panamanian soil during emergencies. However, the Panamanian government under President Arnulfo Arias is now talking about ousting U. S. forces from the vital U. S. army air field at Rio Hato, which is on Panama soil, and is holding back on granting various emergency airports and gun emplacements. So pronounced are the Nazi leanings of the president that his brother, Harmodio Arias, most influential newspaper publisher in Panama, has quarreled with him. Harmodio Arias gave Panama four years of excellent government as president from 1932 to 1936 and is one of the chief boosters of His opposition, however, has brought threats that his panear-albin- The sporty female wearing A FUR COAT OVER SLACKS!
