Eklns, first-cls- s news-paper man, has gone around the F fit globe by air-plane, covering 24,720 miles In 18 days, 14 hours, 56 minutes. Such a trip seems wonderfully fast now. Soon it will seem wonderful-ly slow. Air prog-ress is rapid. Be-cause it was done scientifically, by machinery, the eighteen -- day trip seems less romantic than Arthur Brlbn NeUy g j y seventy-od- d day trip that beat Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days." Nelly Bly, clever newspaper woman, knew how to make it interesting, going out of her way to travel by elephant, camel, jinrickshas, etc. Flying around the world costs about $5,000. Some day some woman, let us hope, will balance her fashiou budget, decide Just what she wants to wear, and then wear it, as men have done, but the day is far away These are some of the hats from which your wife, daughter, sister will choose this season: Hats shaped like East Indian war shields; hats heavy in gold em-broidery; flat pillbox turbans, gold braided; Russian style hats off the face, with tall tiara fronts; hats of Persian lamb and embroidered felt; small toques, dipped down front and back, covered with soft feathers, "the military touch predominat-ing." Why, do you suppose, do women take so much trouble to spoil faces and heads naturally beautiful? It cannot all be the fault of hat-make- Gen. Smedley D. Butler, retired fighting major general of the United States marines, asks the Women's Christian temperance union to start a campaign against drunken automobile drivers, and also help peace by working for a constitu-tional amendment forbidding t h t President or congress to rend troops out of the country. You cannot change men by leg-islation, as was discovered in our prohibition mistake; you must change the men from the inside. For the first time in history, New Jersey, selecting a jury all women, has surprised some, annoyed others. Why? For ages women have been judged and sentenced by individual men or groups of men. They have been ducked, branded with hot irons, put in the stocks, beheaded, hanged, burned alive. Is there injustice in turning the thing around for a change; at least no twelve women would burn or duck anybody. Lloyd's, British insurance con-cern, will insure you against any-thing happening, if it "guesses" that it will not happen; it usually guesses correctly. It refuses to in-sure against war Btriking England, although until lately the charge for that insurance was only o..e --fifth of one per cent; 200 pounds for'lOO.OOO pounds insurance. Somebody in Lloyd's possesses in-telligence. Tha; big organization does not like to think of war with airplanes added. News from the East interests Americans: they might have to pay the bilL Japan and Russia, supposed recently to be on the verge of war, are said to have an understanding about things in the east that would involve depriving the British of prof-itable locations and rights. This does not please Britain, but that is the business of Japan, Russia and Eng-land. Interesting flying item: Russia or-der in Baltimore a passenger "clip-per" plane, to cost $1,000,000 and carry forty-fou- r passengers, besides a crew of six. The plane, very fast, can go 4,000 miles without taking on fuel, a range that would bring it across the Atlantic nicely, if it ever wanted to come back with a load of explosives instead of passengers. The Irish Catholic hierarchy, sit-ting at Maynooth College, Cardinal Macrory presiding, denounces com-munism and persecution of the Catholic church in Spain, "mindful of Spain's kindness to our ances-tors." On October 25 all Catholic churches in Ireland will take up collections "for the relief of Spanish Catholics." Mexico, once as "Catho-lic" as Ireland or any nation, sends, from its Chamber of Deputies, a message of sympathy to the Spanish government at Madrid.

Forty thousand men have been given employment on the projects, while 68,000 were given indirect em-ployment in the production and transportation of materials and equipment, the bureau said. During the past year, 281 bridges to carry highways under or over railroads were completed; 138 high-way- s were relocated so as to avoid crossings, and protective devices were placed at twenty-nin- e locations at the cost of $18,203,462.

Construction will start soon on 174 new and thirty-si- x reconstructed structures, seventy -- nine highway relocations and 624 protective in-stallations at an estimated cost of $27,816,526. Work listed as "programmed only" consists of 341 new and seventy ' five reconstructed struc-tures, fifty-seve- n relocations and 351 protective installations to cost an estimated $43,649,963. Liquor Mark Set Distilled liquor withdrawals from bonded warehouses, considered to represent consumption, amounted to 10,063,778 tax gallons in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, the high-est figure since 1917, when cellars were stocked in anticipation of na-tional prohibition. The figures were revealed at the internal revenue bureau. The 1936 withdrawals of ferment-ed malt liquors, chiefly beer and ale, amounted to 41,890,967 barrels in the fiscal year 1936, a reduction from the 41,946,201 barrels of the years before, but otherwise higher than in any year since 1918. Cigarette production set an all-ti-record in 1936, 141,834,738,730 having been withdrawn on the pay-ment of tax. This compared with 128,490,692,940 cigarettes the pre-vious year. Judging from trends since the first of July, the liquor and tobacco taxes probably will net the govern-ment in excess of $1,200,000,000 in the 1937 fiscal year. At the rate of collections so far this fiscal year, liquor taxes would yield around $623,000,000 and tobacco taxes $555,-500,00- 0. It was expected, however, that, with gradual gain in business ac-tivity and purchasing power, these figures would be exceeded. Maritime Commission The new maritine commission appointed to administer the ship subsidy act found its schedule of work loaded with important prob-lems. Immediate action was necessary on the west coast longshoremen's strike situation. Requests were dis-patched to shipowners and the union, asking that a 60 day exten-sion be made on the contracts be-tween employers and workers which expired September 30. This exten-sion would give the commission an opportunity to confer with other government departments concerned and make an impartial investiga-tion in hopes of settling the labor disputes amicably. The commission has no direct au-thority over longshoremen. Its pow-ers in the west const citnati nn a ro French-America- n system for stabil-izing currency exchanges. The Treasury department, work-ing out technical details of the monetary agreement, said a selling price for gold would be an-nounced only by the United States. Although gold will flow freely be-tween the stabilization funds of all three nations, France and England will keep their selling prices secret, treasury officials announced. The American price remained at $35 per fine ounce, though it may be changed on twenty-fou- r hours' notice if necessary to protect in-ternal prosperity. When America buys gold from Great Britain or France, Treasury authorities said, the price will be arrived at by private negotiation. If bullion is purchaseo from the British stabilization fund, they sug-gested, the price probably will be close to the current quotation on the London free gold market, oper-ated by private dealers. In the case of France, they said, there is no definite indication at what price sales might be arranged. France has no free gold market, and has not yet fixed an exact basis for its devalued franc. Recent French action merely cut the value of the currency somewhere between 25 and 34 per cent. Large Wheat Acreage Another large wheat acreage is in prospect in this country, the bu-reau of agricultural economics said in its summary of world wheat prospects. It pointed out that wheat prices are more attractive than at seeding time last year or this spring. Seed-ing- s for harvest in 1936 of both winter and spring wheat were ap-proximately 74,500,000 acres, the largest on record except for 1919. Abandonment and crop loss due to unfavorable weather were excep-tionally large and resulted in small production relative to acreage sown. If yields of the crop for harvest in 1937 turn out to be one-fourt- h below average, the same acreage as seeded for harvest in 1936 would produce fully enough wheat for total domestic utilization. If yields should turn out to be near average or above for the 1937 crop, in view of present seeding prospects, the bureau said, "produc-tion would be in excess of domestic requirements and prices in the United States would fall to export levels." Winter wheat seeding in this coun-try is making good progress gen-erally and the early seeded grain is coming to a good stand. During the past month the winter wheat belt, except in some northwestern districts and in the Pacific North-west, has generally received suf-ficient rain to condition the soil properly for seeding, germination and early growth. Insure More Mortgages Contrary to seasonal trends, res-idential mortgages accepted for in-surance by the Federal Housing ad-ministration on new construction during September showed a rise of 147.8 per cent over the same month last year and 5.1 per cent over August, 1936, Deputy Administrator William D. Flanders reported. Mortgages approved for insurance last month on new homes totaled $18,263,950 against $17,367,789 in the previous month and $7,370,524 in September a year ago. Last month's figure for all types of mortgages accepted was the sec-ond highest monthly total since the FHA began functioning, reaching $44,316,900 on 11,174 items, Mr. Flanders pointed out. The only higher month was last June, when the total was $50,156,258. The rise for all types of FHA insured loans over the same month a year ago was $23,031,502, or 108.2 per cent. One of the chief causes for the upturn was held to be the increas-ing number of private financial in-stitutions lining up with the FHA program and making insured loans. There also is a wider demand on the part of borrowers for this type of mortgage, Mr. Flanders said. September operations of the FHA included insurance on 43,789 mod-ernization loans totaling $19,394,-30- 3, the largest in several months. Total insurance business of the FHA as of September 30 included 120,245 home mortgages accepted for insurance for a total of $481,-360,08- 8; 1.195,956 modernization and repair notes insured for $444,670,660 and insurance on thirty-tw- o large-scal- e housing projects for mort-gag- es aggregating $45,851,000. Road Building Cost The United States bureau of pub-lic roads announced that construc-tion work costing $131,133,227 was either completed or initiated during the past year in the campaign for safer railroad crossings. With the $200,000,000 of emer-gency relief funds allocated last year for grade crossing work, the bureau reported that 2,097 crossings will be eliminated, 320 old grade-separati- ng bridges will be rebuilt limited to regulation of minimum wages, hours and working condi-tions of seamen on subsidized ships. It desires to intervene in the long-shoremen's dispute only as an in-terested party. Another duty of the commission will be a scrutiny of 600 regular em-ployees of the shipping board bu-reau and the merchant fleet corpo-ration. These employees will con-tinue their regular work for a six month "probation period," after which they may be replaced or certified lor civil service ratings. The commission will begin two studies of vital importance to Amer-ican shipping. It will determine whether any existing trade routes are "nonessential" and should be stricken from the federal subsidy list. It will soon analyze cargoes, foreign competition, revenues, con-struction and operating costs, and other factors which will enable it to construct a yardstick for allocat-ing subsidies. National Forests Approval for purchase of 392,665 acres, to cost $1,946,171, to be added to the national forests, was given by the National Forest Reservation commission, Secretary of War Woodring, president of the commis-sion, announces. The purchases are divided among 45 national forest units located in most of the im-portant forest regions of the United States. The Mary's Peak area, on the watershed of Corvallis, Oregon, was one of the most important pur-chases authorized. The commission also approved purchase of the Keosauqua national forest nursery near Ottumwa, Iowa. It consists of 99 acres formerly rented by the government and used for propagation of trees for plant-ing in the national forests in Mid-west states. The boundaries of the Chattahoochee national forest In Georgia were extended to include the Lookout mountain area of 204,-00- 0 acres, and the Armuchee area of 250,000 acres, situated in the Southern Appalachians in the Ten-nessee river basin in Georgia and Alabama. No land was bought in these 'additions. ; C WNU Service. News Review of Current Events the World Over Dictator Stalin Foresees Another European War Spanish Rebels Nearing Madrid Simpson Affair May Lead to King Edward's Abdication. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Western Newspaper Union. PROF. JEROME DAVIS of the divinity school, nationally known liberal, is being dropped from the Yale university faculty, and charges that this is because of his "economic opinions." President Angell denies this, asserting that the budgetary situation was the sole 'reason for allowing Davis contract to lapse. "No abridgement of aca-demic freedom or liberty of speech is involved in this case," said An-gel- L Davis Is president of the Ameri-can Federation of Teachers, chair-man of the National Religion and Labor foundation and president of EUROPE'S situation, according to observers, is settling down to a fight to the finish be--' tween Communism and Fascism, the Eastern Sociological conrerence. He said he thought It likely that the teachers' federation would take some action in his case. GREAT BRITAIN is determined out of the Communist-Fascis- t conflict if possible. Sir Os-wald Mosley and his black-shirte- d Fascist followers Before the recent primary he an-nounced that, though a candidate for renomination as a Republican, he intended to support Mr. Roose-velt for This was an act of political suicide, and he was defeated by Wilber M. Brucker. Senator Couzens was noted for his great contributions to charity. The chief of these was the gift of prob-ably $20,000,000 for the help of un-fortunate children. He established the Children's Fund of Michigan with an endowment of $10,000,000. ana tne several na-tions are lining up accordingly. Josef Stalin, Soviet dicta-tor, is said to be convinced that an-other great war is at hand and that Russia must act promptly to take what he considers her proper part in have been trying to stir up trouble in England and in con-sequence the cabinet decided to put a ban i on all political uni- - forms. It was ex-pected that when parliament reassem-bled the government would announce Yraeti fiMlnn in iv lew PEACE within the ranks of the Federation of Labor has not yet been achieved, for the executive council of that body ad-journed without settling the dispute between the Green and Lewis fac-tions. The council will meet again November 14 in Tampa, and two days later the federation will open its annual convention in that Florida city. If there are developments meanwhiK the council or federa-tion maydiscuss the quarrel, ac-cording to President Green. He said: "The matter is temporarily closed," and added that so far as he knew, no peace overtures had been made by the CIO leaders. Mr. Green declared the ten suspended unions could not be admitted to the convention. MERE scandal and gossip have proper place in this de-partment, but the "affaire Simp-son," as the French would term it. Josef Stalin the conflict. The civil war in Spain and the developments therefrom are providing the fuel for starting the fire. Russia repeats her accusa-tions against Germany and Italy of giving aid to the Spanish rebels; the Fascist governments deny the charges and make countercharges against Moscow; the Soviet govern-ment appears to be on the point of quitting the committee for noninter-vention in Spain and sending war munitions to the hard pressed radi-cal government at Madrid. Dispatches from Moscow said Stalin had been informed by his military advisers that as few as 100 planes could settle the Spanish war in favor of the government and that Russia could send them almost immediately. The Russians already have sent Ave shiploads of food and clothing to Spain, these supplies having been bought by subscriptions from Russian workers. Should Stalin decide to come out openly in aid of the leftist govern-ment of Spain, the Nazis and Fas-cists may be counted on to re-double their already existing cam-paign against Communism and many nations would soon be in-volved in the quarrel, with possi-bilities that terrify thinking persons the world over. Klementi Voroshilov, Soviet com-missar for defense, didn't allay the suppress the Mosley sir 0swald organization or at Mosley least to put a stop to its demon-strations and parades in Leeds, Manchester and the east end of Lon-don, where these Fascists like to create ugly feeling against Jews. The public demand in England for action against the Fascists has been strengthened by the revelation that Mosley takes his advice from Berlin and Rome. It is reported, and widely believed, that Mosley's tactics of deliberately leading his Blackshirts into Jewish communi-ties are based on advice given him by Paul Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister. AFTERMATH of the Lind-bergh AN kidnaping case is the indictment of Ellis H. Parker, chief of detectives of Burlington county, N. J.; his son and three other men by a federal grand jury at Newark, N. J. The indictment charges the defendants took possession of Paul H. Wendel in New York, forced him to confess that he kidnaped Charjes A. Lindbergh, Jr., and held him in New Jersey while revisions were 4t has progressed until it assumes world importance. As ar-rangements are be-ing made for the quiet and uncontest-ed divorce of Mrs. "Wally" Simpson, American friend of King Edward VIII of England, it is ru-mored in London so-- made in the confessions as the older Parker ordered. The government charges the de-fendants hoped to reap "large re-wards and sums of money" by pub-lishing the "true story" of the faked solution of the celebrated case. IT WAS announced at the White House that President Roosevelt had written to heads of 100 schools and colleges throughout the country asking the educators to determine whether courses at engineering schools are so "balanced" as to give students the necessary "vision and flexibile technical capacity." The "impact" of science on hu-man life produces social disloca-tions as well as advances in pro-ductive power, he held. He men-tioned "unemployment, bankrupt-cies and relief." The engineer, he said, has a responsibility to help design "mechanisms to absorb the shocks of the impact of science." COR some time there have ap-- " peared in print stories about how Japan was establishing air and submarine bases in the former Ger-man islands, of the South Pacific over which she holds a League of Nations mandate. It has been ex-pected that the league's mandate commission would investigate these reports, and now Japan seeks to forestall such action by a formal report to the league in which she asserts she has "no fortifications, military or naval bases" in those islands. The Tokio government says it is scrupulously observing that part of the mandate which fo.rbids the use of the inlands for military purposes. Following establishment of a south seas bureau in April, 1932, all Japanese armed forces and men of war have been withdrawn gradually from the Islands, the report says, adding that the natives of the is-lands never have been subjected to military training. ' CHARGES filed in Washington by trade commission accuse five trade associations of at-tempting to corner the automobile parts and accessories business. The groups, which were ordered to show cause why they should not be com-pelled to cease their alleged com-bine, ere the National Standard Parts association, Detroit; the Mo-tor and Equipment Wholesale as-sociation, Chicago; the Automotive Trade associations of Greater Kan-sas City, Mo.; Mississippi Valley Automotive Jobbers association and the Southwestern Jobbers associa-tion. Their officials also are de-fendants in the suit EIGHTEEN men and one woman in the waters of Lake Erie when the Canadian ship Sand Merchant foundered off Cleveland during a gale. Seven men, includ-ing ' the captain, were picked up after clinging to life boats for eleven hours. Northern Italy was shaken by earthquake shocks that were felt as far away as Jugoslavia and Aus-tria. Twenty persons were killed by tumbling walls, and thirty others were injured. ciety circles that the King Edward bacheior monarch will abdicate in favor of his brother, the Duke of York, and marry the attractive woman who has shared so much of his time in recent months. In support of this rumor is the reported fact that plans are being made for renting the farms of the Sandringham estate in Nor-folk, which is the king's private property. Also, there is a story that this estate may be sold to the Aga Khan, the immensely wealthy spiritual head of the Ismaili sect of Mohammedanism. . Should Edward give up the throne, it would eventually be occupied by Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the Duke of York, and this suc-cession would be decidedly popular with the people of England. The abdicating king might revert to the dukedom of Cornwall, which pro-vides a net income of about $350,000. There is nothing In British law to prevent the king from marrying whomsoever he pleases, but no ruler of the country since Henry VIII has wedded a commoner. Court gossip in London says that Prime Minister Baldwin and the archbishop of Can-terbury recently appealed to Ed-ward for greater discretion in his relations with Mrs. Simpson and were hotly rebuffed by the king. English newspapers imposed on themselves a voluntary censorship in this affair, but it has been broken by the Sunday Referee which prints an article declaring the king "may marry by spring," that this would result in postponement of the coro-nation, and that tradesmen have been insuring themselves against such a delay. PERSONAL reports of presidential candi-dates, made public by the senate campaign expenditures committee, show that President Roosevelt gave' a $500 contribution to the Demo-cratic county committee of Dutchess county, New York, his home, and had spent $10 for postage. Vice President John N. Garner reported that he had received no contribu-tions and made no expenditures. The Republican candidates, Gov. AIf M. Landon and CoL Frank Knox, reported they had had no personal receipts nor expenditures since nomination, their campaigns being financed by the Republican national committee. In getting the nomination Landon received $163,480 and spent $164,572. Knox reported personally receiving $35,754 and spending $35,557 before nomination, and the Khox for Presi-dent committee received $133,818 and spent $143,259. Norman Thomas, Socialist can-didate, reported his party had col-lected $5,614 and spent $6,504 to date. John Zahn, National Greenback party candidate, reported he had received $1 and spent $2.50 toward his election. At the same time the American Liberty league, nonpartisan, volun-tarily submitted a financial report. The report showed that the organ-ization had received $419,282 since January 1, and spent $461,851. alarm any when he said in a formal statement: "The Soviet Union is prepared to meet the enemy anywhere he chooses to taste the force of our arms. "We are ready with man-powe- r, equipment, training and resources." A Russian language paper print-ed in New York said the Soviet press bureau in London had an-nounced that Stalin would come to America after the November elec-tion, for medical treatment; that he would visit President Roose-velt, and later would go to Mexico. All of this was promptly denied of-ficially in Moscow and by the soviet embassy in Washington. CLOSER between and Italy in the fight on Communism was assured by an arrangement for "institutes" in Ber-lin and Rome for Italo-Germa- n youth leadership, in which the Hit-ler Youth organization and Mussoli-ni's Balilla, a Fascist youth body, are to unite. Baldur von Schirach, Nazi youth leader, so announced to a great gathering in Berlin. In the Berlin institute Italian youth leaders will be educated in conditions and achievements under the Nazi state. In Rome, Nazi youth leaders will learn what II Duce's Fascists have done for their country. Neither institute will at-tempt to imitate the other. Schi-rach said. GENERAL FRANCO, head of the insurgents, ordered the immediate taking of Madrid and each day the state of the defenders of the capital became more desper-ate. The rebels closed in relent-lessly, making effective use of bombing planes and armored tanks. President Manuel Azana and some of his cabinet ministers slipped out of Madrid and appeared in Barcelona. Ostensibly they were making a tour of the loyalist fronts, but the general opinion was that they had fled from the capital to make a "last stand" in Catalonia, which province always is radical. Anyhow, Azana took over an office in the Catalan parliament building for himself and his secretarial staff. Senora Azana has quit Spain. She appeared in Toulouse, France, and departed for an unannounced des-tination. JAMES COUZENS, Independent senator from Mich-igan, died in a Detroit hospital after a long illness and immediately following an operation to relieve uremic poisoning. He was sixty-fou- r years old. Mr. Couzens was one of the wealthiest men in congress, h i s riches being a result of early as-sociation with Henry Ford in the automobile business. He was twice elected mayor of Detroit and was appointed to the senate in 1922 to fill out the unexpired term of Sen-ator Truman H. Newberry. As a senator he frequently disregarded party lines, and since the election of President Roosevelt he had sup-ported many New Deal measures.
