Within a few days five Brit-ish soldiers were killed and a num-ber wounded by Japanese shells in the fighting at Shanghai.

Soon after the Japanese began shelling the residential area of the settlement and an outpost where English soldiers were quartered was destroyed. Continuous shelling of Shanghai by the invaders endan-gered the British and American lines on the border of the interna-tional settlement and shells fell close to the American warship Au-gusta, Admiral Yarnell's flagship. Japan is angry over the alleged : ney, who was sup-ported also by Jim Farley and Senator Wagner, was thor-oughly whipped by Fiorello H.

LaGuar-dia- , the first "re-form" mavor ever T.E.Dewey re.elccted m New York, piled up a majority of 454.425. The Republicans hailed the result as a great victory for their party, and it was. But it also put the La-bor party in the position of holding the balance of power in future elec-tions in the metropolis. Second in interest only to the mayoralty vote was the fact that Thomas E. Dewey, the young man "LITTLE FLOWER" WINS Fiorello La Guardia, who licked Tammany and was mayor of New York, in a striking pose as be addressed voters. help Britain is giving China in the warfare and there is a movement in Tokio to break diplomatic rela-tions with London. This is urged by the "council on the current situa-tion," an unofficial body composed of high army officers, political leaders and other influential per-sons. The council adopted a reso-lution warning that unless Britain "reconsiders its improper attitude" Japan may be forced to take cer-tain steps of "grave determination" against Britain, despite the "deep friendship" existing between the two countries for the last sixty years. Japanese troops invaded a part of the international settlement guarded by American marines and seized a Chinese junk loaded with rice. General Beaumont, comman-dant of marines, immediately en-tered a protest and the Japanese apologized but the marines did not consider the incident closed because the Japs didn't return the' junk. The British government was not expected to take any action that would further anger Japan lest it should endanger the success of the parley in Brussels., But wise ob-servers do not believe the nine-pow- er treaty conference will have any definite results. who smashed organized crime and the rackets in New York, was elect-ed district attorney, defeating Har-old W. Hastings, the Tammany nom-inee. Dewey, who is only thirty-fiv- e years old, promises reform in the methods of the office, and his record gives assurance these will be car-ried out. The Republicans regained, control of the New York state assembly and of many upstate cities. veloped by friendship, fair play, and recriprocal confidence. If Japan and China are to it must be as friends and not as enemies. The problems underlying Chinese-Japanes- e relations must be solved on a basis that is fair to each and ac-ceptable to both." Eden for England and Delbos for France seconded these sentiments. The Italian representatives made it clear Italy would not stand for any coercive measures against Japan. China was represented by Dr. Wellington Koo who Said: "We de-sire peace, but we know that we can-not obtain it in the presence of Japanese aggression. So long as ag-gression persists we are determined to continue our resistance. It is not peace at any price that will render justice to China or to the credit of civilization." C.I.O. Loses in Detroit 'TPHE first important venture of the C. I. O. in politics turned out disastrously for the Lewis organiza-tion. Patrick H. O'Brien, its may-oralty candidate, declared on the stump that "labor must seize the reins of government in Detroit and every other American city." Where-upon the Detroit electors arose in their wrath and swept O'Brien and. the C. I. O. out of the picture. Rich-ard W. Reading, conservative can-didate backed by the A. F. of L., won the office by a majority of 10G,-90- 7 votes. In addition, all the five C. I. O. backed candidates for the common council were decisively whipped. In New Jersey Senator A. Harry Moore, Democrat, was elected gov-ernor over Lester H. Clee, Republi-can, but only by virtue of a big ma-jority in Hudson county. Moore has held the office twice before. It was the first time in the state's history that a governor has won a third term. The state constitution pro-hibits a consecutive but Moore was elected in 1925 and again in 1931, each time for a three-yea- r term. A committee was named to send an appeal to Japan to open peace negotiations with China, and Ger-many was asked to recons;der her refusal to take part in the confer-ence. Labor Hits Duke's Tour n ESOLUTIONS denouncing the American tour of the duke and duchess of Windsor as a "slumming trip professing to study labor" were More "Piracy" TTALY'S latest twist of the lion's tail came in the form of the bombing and sinking of the British steamer Jean Weems in the Med-iterranean by a "pirate" airplane. The London Daily Herald's Barce-lona correspondent reported that the Spanish loyalist government as-serted that the plane bore markings showing that it was piloted by Bruno Mussolini, son of the Italian premier. The pilot gave the freighter's crew only five minutes to take to life-boats and then sank the Weems with bombs. The British battle cruiser Hood was sent at full speed from Palma, Majorca, to Barcelona to investi-gate the attack. In parliament the critics of the government, led by David Lloyd George, demanded a stronger Brit-ish Mediterranean policy. Lloyd George flayed the government for bolstering up the international com-mittee on nonintervention in Spain, whose history after 14 months he de-nounced as "discreditable and dis-honorable." adopted by the Bal-timore Federation of Labor, and ap-proved by President Green of the A. F. of L. They attacked Charles Bedeaux, the duke's friend, as sponsor of the '"stretch out sys-tem." Officials of the Committee for In- - James M. Curley. who has been three times mayor of Boston and once governor of Massachusetts, tried again for the mayoralty, but was defeated by Maurice J. Tobin, . like Curley a Democrat. Philadelphia went Democratic, as did Pittsburgh, which Mayor Cornelius Scully. Borah Talks Plainly WHILE Republican national were gathering in Chicago for an important meet-ing, Senator Borah of Idaho jumped Morocco Uprisings. XTATIONALIST uprisings in French Morocco, which have been giving the French government a lot of trouble, are blamed on agents of "a foreign totalitarian power," meaning Italy. The disorders, main-ly in Casablanca, Fez and Medina, were quelled by troops, mostly Sen-egalese legionnaires, and hundreds of arrests were made. The nationalists plotted to set up an independent Arab state with Moulay Allal El Fassi as king. Budget Conference WHILE members of congress beginning to move to-ward Washington for the extraordi-nary session, President Roosevelt into print with a vigorous denuncia-tion of the plan, fa-vored by Hoover and Chairman Ham-ilton, to hold a mid-term Republican convention next spring, for the form-ulation of party pol-icies. , "We have heard a ereat deal about nisi. V s fa , dustrial Organiza- - Duchess ' tion, while refusing Windsor to be quoted, said the attitude of their organization on the Bedeaux system was "well known." Official and social Washington, which had been in doubt as to what to do about the distinguished visi-tor- s, was relieved when Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambassador, an-nounced he would give a state din-ner for the royal couple, as he termed them, the day after their arrival. Immediately thereafter it was made known that President Roosevelt would entertain the duke and duchess at luncheon in the White House. The duke's talk on arrival was to be broadcast over all major net-works, but the British Broadcasting company announced it would not pick up Windsor's remarks for in England. Bedeaux said the duke while in the United States would observe these sixteen heavy industries: Heavy machinery, light machin-ery, heavy chemical work, oil refin-ing, textiles, tobacco, steel, rubber, either coal or metallic ore mining, automobile manufacturing, prepared foods, meat packing, logging, timber sorting plus lumber milling, pulp and paper production and vegetable and fruit packing. f I in his Hyde Park home was busy planning means of carrying on the gov-ernment program. Especially was he interested in the budget, and related financial matters, and to advise on this he called in Marri-ne- r S. Eccles, head usurpation and die- - Senator ornh tatorship in recent years," said Borah. "There could be no great-er exhibition of usurpation or dic-tatorship in politics than .for a few accredited men undertaking to fix the principles and policies for 17 million voters without ever having consulted the voters or received their indorsement in any way. "The Republican party is in its present plight largely because lead-ers of the party too long neglected to take counsel of the voters. Lead-ers acted upon the theory that the voters would be led or cudgeled along the road pointed out by the leaders." Almost Recognition OREAT BRITAIN decided to lot Franco, Spanish insurgent chief, send consuls to England, and to send official agents to the part of Spain he controls. This, it was said in official circles, did not imply recognition of Franco, but British Laborites thought it did, and conse-quently assailed the government. Anyhow, it was apparent Britain be-lieved Franco was right when he said in Burgos "the war is won." Wallace Plan Attacked CECRETARY WALLACE'S "ever J normal granary" plan is "politi-cally inexpedient, economically un-sound, and fundamentally unwork-able," according to the Cash Grain association of Chicago which sub-mitted a brief to a senate sub-committee at a hearing in Spring, field, 111. M. S. Eccles federal reserve system. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau and Director Bell Budget alrcady were th and all listened closely to Mr Ec' cles' talk concerning current busi-nes- s conditions and the stock mar ket situation. It was decided by the President that the Commodity Credit corpora-tio- n should provide $85,000,000 for the corn loans, obtaining the money from the RFC and repaying the alter agency when congress makes the necessary appropriations. Officials of the Agriculture depart- ment gave corn growers assurance that the government will loan 50 cents a bushel on the large 1937 crop. The loans will be made ac-cording to current plans, on field corn testing 14.5 per cent moisture content or less. The 50 cent nt will be reduced on corn cont in n more moisture. Brussels Conference FORMAL opening of the Far East peace conference in Brussels brought out speeches by the chief delegates of America, Britain, France, Italy and Russia. Davis for the United States denounced re-sort to armed force as a means of settling international disputes, and urged Japan and China to seek, a settlement of their conflict "by peaceful processes." He continued: "We believe that between Japan and Chi-na is essential to the best interests of those two countries and to peace throughout the world. We believe that such must be de- - "Heavy" Water Explained "Heavy" water has attracted wide scientific interest. Like ordi-nary water, it is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxy-gen, although its hydrogen has an atomic weight of two instead of one, the usual atomic weight of hydro-gen. This difference makes prop-erties altogether distinct from those of ordinary water. At first a scien-tific curiosity, it is produced on a commercial scale for the treatment of cancer, using special nickel steel and pure nickel in manufacturing equipment to safeguard its purity. Superstition Mountain Superstition mountain has been described as standing like a G-ibraltar in a shifting sea of sand on the desert. All Indians of that re-gion had a superstition that if they touched the mountain they would die. Years ago the savage Apache tribe murdered another tribe there and so ruthless was the slaughter that even the Apaches were fright-ened and made the mountain taboo. The skyline is rugged and jagged and many small canyons divide the base. The Indians say that in these canyons are the spirits of those who were slaughtered forever groaning and making intercession to be re-leased from the dark recesses. 2 Is the Presid r0US States vested with Lry 4- - What is the I kenny cats? legecdt K.

In the De-Sma- rt Girl partment of Com-Hel- p Spur merce, things are different. Trade U.Z.iraae commissioners or assistant commissioners in' seven countries are women. They have been singularly successful, working as Uncle Sam's saleswomen, finding out what people of other nations want, employing tact and discern-ment in their work, supplying the department with all sorts of keenly observed data about preference, taste and sales possibilities. They are proving themselves excellent trade envoys. The National League of Women Voters, publishing its "survey of women in public office," notes es-pecially the success of Miss A. Viola Smith at Shanghai and Miss Eliza-beth Humes at Rome. Miss Smith has been with the De-partment of Commerce, in China since 1920. A native of Los An-geles, she was graduated in law at George Washington university. She was at Peiping two years before be-ing transferred to Shanghai. She has been president of the American Women's Club of Shang-hai, vice-chairm- of the Interna-tional Committe'e of Women's or-ganizations, and has been active in many fields of social and civic life in China. Miss Humes, assistant trade com-missioner in Rome in 1925, and commissioner Italy Goes thereafter, showed for Scanty typical fulness in indue- - Swim Suits ingItallanwomen to wear backless, bathing suits. This, with a successful cosmetics campaign, opened new avenues for American trade in Italy. She travels a great deal around Italy and keeps the department minutely informed on trade con-ditions and opportunities. She was reared in Louisiana and educated in Italy and Switzerland. In the war, she was with the Red Cross and later was attached to the American embassy in Rome. Miss Gudrun Carlson has made a similar success at Oslo, Norway. Other nations in which America is represented, by-- women in trade posts are Brazil, Guatemala, Chile and Venezuela. All reports are that chic, intelli-gent women are highly esteemed in foreign capitals and it would ap-pear that more good jobs for bright girls are coming along in the De-partment of Commerce, as clerks or commercial attaches, if not as commissioners.

In Manchukuo, he opines that "Japan will bring about more peace-ful conditions on earth than the Christians have done." An internationalist, he was chased and caught by a Brooklyn police-man, landed in an English jail, circulated during the war, pretend-ing to be a German spy, helped in the Kapp putsch in Germany, was chased out and went to the Orient. He was born in Hungary and reared in the slums of London. He became a Presbyterian mission-ary, then a vicar in the Anglican church, and, in 1910, a member of parliament. When the Brooklyn police, nailed him, it was supposed to be a spy case, but it was later disclosed that England wanted him for forg-ery. That was in 1915. There- - after he staged himself in a great deal of European spy melodrama, all of it supposedly imaginary. Out of prison, he was engaged in arms traffic in Germany and built an impressive estate in Ceylon. Then he became a Buddhist abbot, in coarse robe and sandals, COR the first time, the forty or 1 more peace societies seem to be making themselves heard at Wash-ington.

Mrs. Estelle Sternberger, execu-tive secretary of World Peaceways, is a blue-eye- brown-haire- d grand- mother who has swiftly risen to leadership in the peace army dur-ing the last few years. She sharply challenges the Pres-ident's stand. "In his Chicago speech," says her organization, "the President points the Ameri-can people down the road that led to the World war." Her gospel is simply that war is horrible and we've got to keep out of it. She was Estelle Miller, reared in Cincinnati, an alumna of the Uni-versity of Cincinnati. Much of her life has been given to philanthropy and civic enterprise. Consolidated News Features. WNU Service. Washlngton Inherited Estate Washington inherited Mount Ver-non from his brother, Lawrence. He remodeled It and brought his bride, Martha Custis, from Williamsburg, to live there in 1759. He visited Mount Vernon only twice during the Revolution, returned for a short time and was made President (1789 to 1797). He spent his last two years there. Jefferson Built "Monticello" Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States (1801 to 1809), under John Adams, secretary of state under Washing-ton, and author of the Declaration of Indeprndence, built "Monticel-lo." He lived there for 30 years. This beautiful red brick mansion is situated in the Blue Ridge mountains overlooking Charlottes-ville. Northern Ireland Hilly Topographically, northern Ireland is chiefly hilly or rolling country, the highest levels being reached in the Mourne mountains in the south, where the greatest height is 2,796 feet above sea leveL Considerable stretches of flat land, however, are to be found in most of the coun-ties, and agriculture is extensively carried on in these lowlands. Blue Racer, Familiar Snake The blue racer, a familiar snake, grows as long as six feet, is dull bluish green above, greenish or bluish white underneath. The blue racer is not venomous, as popularly supposed, according to a writer in the Detroit Free Press. It makes a rather interesting pet, but often will resist capture. The small teeth can do little more than puncture the skin. Pocket Edition of Europe Little Belgium, not as large as Maryland, claims to be the pocket edition pf Europe. Within its less than 12,000 square miles can be seen famous battlefields, ancient churches, castles, medieval houses, spas, vast forests, coast resorts and pageants all through the year. Use of Red Oak The red oak gets its name from the reddish brown color of the heart-woo- d and not from any outward ap-pearance of the tree. The wood makes good lumber, but is less valuable than white oak. Red oak wood is used as a substitute for white since most of the better white oak timber in this country has been cut away. Origin of Brick Cheese Brick is a semi-har- d cheese with a rather elastic texture, a strong, sweetish taste and many small rpund holes. It is a rennet cheese made from whole cow's milk. The origin was probably German, but this cheese is made extensively in America. "Spider-Wasps- " In Brazil. In Brazil "spider-wasps- " are fair-ly common. They store their under-ground nests with spiders and cater-pillars which they have stung. In digging the nests, a spider-was- p oft-en carries out a little pebble by holding it between the front legs and the "chin." 30lBl l afterI f Eating-Drin- ! p ALKALI if AFTER A ft HEAVY fi MEAL.. h M ?

Atmosphere weakens the rays, so the latitudes upon which the rays strike vertically receive more heat than when the rays are slanted.
