Show BRISBANE THIS WEEK One King Dead. Next? Hitler Pick9 Successor Three Kinds of Gold One Lynched; One Jumped King Fuad, king of Egypt, dead means nothing to 130,000,000 Americans Ameri-cans or to 15,- . x c) human beings on earth. It means much to England, Eng-land, real ruler of Egypt, now obliged to find another king to "behave himself, do as England says," and hold down Egypt's anti-British hatred. A mob seized Arthur Brl.lmnc u flfty. year-old negro, and lynched him on "the usual charge," not waiting for a trial. Joe Bowers, sentenced to 25 years for mail robbery, locked in the island is-land fortress of Alcatraz, tried to escape by climbing ten feet of plain wire, two feet of barbed wire, and jumping down a 60-foot' cliff into the water. He climbed while sharpshooter sharp-shooter guards pumped bullets Into him, and jumped down the cliff. Asked w-hen "booked" at Alcatraz, "Who Is to be notified if you die?" Bowers replied: "Nobody, nobody cares whether I die or not" Hitler apparently has chosen his successor "in case," in the person of Air Minister Goering, now made "assistant dictator," with control of two great German problems of raw materials and foreign exchange. In New York 175 naval cadets from the German cruiser Emden, name well remembered from the war, explored the city, guarded by detectives In case of hostile demonstrations. demon-strations. Commercial boycotts of Germany, organized In New York, have done more harm to the Nazi government than could be done by any mob attack at-tack on German cadets. California possesses "three kinds of gold": yellow gold, of which there is plenty left in the ground; "black gold," which is the oil in lakes thousands of feet down, and the "white gold," water from the mountains, first used to develop power, then to irrigate crops. Another gold, more important than those combined, is the gold of education. Driving through this country, If you see a particularly fine building, build-ing, tall columns, wide grounds, for healthy play, that is a public school. Once It would have been the prison or feudal castle. You see another building, almost as Impressive as the high school. That is a public library. The accumulated accu-mulated knowledge of the world is free. Newsboys cry "What do you read?" The Niagara of books pouring pour-ing from the presses, a vast majority major-ity forgotten as they are born, make many ask "What shall I read?" Of the books that every one must know, many are unnecessarily long, will not be read, and need condensation, in this day of newspapers, moving pictures, and radio. Paris perceives that following recent re-cent elections extreme radicals will be powerful In the new chamber, and those that have money left begin be-gin panicky selling. Bank of France shares dropped violently, meaning lack of confidence in government stability, with fear of war in all minds. The last war knocked the franc from 19 cents to 4 cents. What would another war do? When stock gambling starts, it moves rapidly. Since March last year, stock prices have gone up 60 per cent, business has increased 18 per cent, employment only 5 per cent. Not much cheerfulness In that. Since last March the New York Stock exchange "values" have increased in-creased by twenty thousand million dollars. Excellent "bait" for the Ignorant Ig-norant New Jersey citizens dropped from relief Invade legislative halls, camp out, sleep on the floors, promise to remain until New Jersey supplies money and food. Ewing township. New Jersey, with 9,000 population, taking 450 families off the dole, told them officially offi-cially to go out and beg. Begging being illegal, each family was provided pro-vided with a begging license. That may be called "economic relief." Tokyo worries about Russia "plotting "plot-ting a war against Japan," but no plotting Is necessary. Russia knows the location of every Japanese city, town and factory. It would be nec-; nec-; essary to declare war and start dropping bombs, particularly bombs that spread fire. Starting a war for foreign countries coun-tries Is as easy as "shooting up a gambling game" among our racketeers; rack-eteers; no secrecy or plotting necessary. nec-essary. i King Frit'ir-po Svn, Ileal a.
