Included in the agreement was a guarantee to Rumania by Germany that Its shrunken borders would be guaranteed against further demands by anyone. With a "Who, me?" expression, ex-pression, Soviet Russia looked over the fence from Bessarabia and .Northern. Bakojrina. which It earlier had seized from Rumania. Even this did not satisfy the king's enemies. Two days later King Carol II announced the appointment of Gen. Ion Antonescu as the new military mili-tary dictator of the country. Carol retained only a few unimportant governmental tasks. But still crowds of angry rioters shouted in the public square around th Rumanian palace and the political politi-cal "outs" clamored for more changes. Finally it was announced that King Carol had abdicated. Stepping Step-ping down from the throne he was succeeded by his son Michael, 18 years of age, who once before ruled his nation as "the boy king" when his father renounced the tight to the throne in 1925. The coup against Carol was by Fascists who sought to take over Rumania at once and liquidate the entire situation. M-DAY: Men Effects of the war will be brought to hundreds of thousands of American Amer-ican homes this month. For the first time in U. S. peace time history young men will be called from their Jobs and schools to serve at least one year in the nation's military forces. First Is the National Guard, 60,500 officers and men from 26 states being be-ing the initial cadre going on active service beginning September 16. Later more will be called until 250,- uuu are in ine neia Meanwhile 11,000,000 will have registered under the conscription measure. Once set up, the draft machinery will turn fast First call will be for a gradual enlistment of 400,000. An additional 500,000 will follow before spring.

HISTORY: War Swap In an agreement declared to be the most momentous in American history since the Louisiana Purchase, Pur-chase, the United States traded war- ..... t f ,a . jf. , a ATTORNEY GENERAL JACKSON His opinion "made it legal." ships to Great Britain for Western hemisphere air and naval bases. To the U. S. came: Ninety-nine-year leases in Newfoundland, New-foundland, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, St Lucia, Trinidad, Antigua, Anti-gua, and British Guiana. Promise that if Britain loses the war it will not turn its fleet over to Germany, nor scuttle it To Britain goes: Fifty old-age destroyers, of which we have 123. From a strategic and financial standpoint it was an excellent deal for the United States. The smallest small-est base, at Antigua, one of the Leeward Lee-ward islands in the Caribbean, is considered worth more than the entire cost of the destroyers. Total worth of the bases is estimated at about half the cost of the entire United States navy. From the naval view, the trade gives America a line of fortifications unparalleled in protecting the Panama canal, the Gulf and the Atlantic coasts. Dependence De-pendence of the British navy means America's one-ocean navy can be kept in the Pacific. More important than the material aspects are those of prestige. The trade served notice on the world that America will not see Great Britain go down under the blows of a dictator. Spain, Turkey, the wavering French colonies, even Russia Rus-sia will be impressed. So will Japan. Latin America will feel the Act of Havana implemented. Reaction at- Home Congress was given no part in the negotiations.

Banks Treasury officials alarmed at an increase in hoarding among Individuals, are urging banks to prohibit pro-hibit large withdrawals where the heed for the money is not clear. POLITICS: Issues Appear Whether the government shall be given power to seize industries where owners refuse contracts for national defense production may turn into one of the major issues of the campaign. A clause to that effect ef-fect introduced by Senator Russell (D., Ga.) was included in the conscription con-scription bill before it passed the senate. Opposition developed in the SENATOR RUSSELL Mr. Willkie didn't like his amendment. house which has a less drastic idea. Final decision may be reached by conferees. Wendell L. Willkie, G. O. P. presidential presi-dential nominee, denounced the Russell Rus-sell amendment less than 24 hours after its enactment He said it was a move to "socialize and sovietize" industry. "If our enterprises and assets are to be taken over by the government," he asked, "what are we to defend?" He also called upon the President to name a co-ordinator of national defense with full executive power to handle the nation's $11,000,000 arms program. Such a move, he said, was advocated in the 1939 report of the national resources board. Answer came quickly in the senate, sen-ate, whre it was pointed out that 10 Republicans were among .the 69 senators who favored "industrial draft" Senator Russell said Willkie was willing to conscript lives and careers of young men but not wealth. WHEAT: World Crop The bureau of agricultural economics eco-nomics said indications are that about the same wheat acreage will be planted for 1941 harvest as was seeded for the 1940 harvest There were 62.000,000 acres allotted for seeding for the 1941 crpp under the Agricultural Adjustment act the same as for the 1940 crop. The bureau estimated that 1941 production will total about 750,000,-000 750,000,-000 bushels and leave about 50,000,-000 50,000,-000 bushels for export or addition to carry over. The total carryover would accordingly be about 300,000,-000 300,000,-000 bushels at the close of the 1941-42 1941-42 season. World acreage, exclusive of Soviet Russia and China, the bureau said, is expected to remain approximately approximate-ly the 275,000,000 acres harvested in 1939. The bureau said that world wheat supplies, exclusive of Soviet Russia and China, for the year beginning be-ginning July 1, 1940, may be about 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 bushels smaller than a year ago. when they totaled 5,445,000,000 bushels, the largest stock on record.

" ' 1 'J Kathleen Norris Says: You Are Bored With Marriage, It's Your Own Fault (Bell Syndicate m 'liisi itissliisMi ssfii iVi , JLmm- ,i Bob has small sympathy with the struggles and handicaps of these foreign-born foreign-born musicians and accuses ma of being in love with tha singer, Vanni. By KATHLEEN NORRIS THERE are terrible moments mo-ments in any marriage, when it seems to both man and woman that the light of love and happiness has gone out forever, and the only possible solution is a complete break. Sometimes these moments come in the first year of marriagebut mar-riagebut not often. Quarrels Quar-rels are cured then, and tears and despair forgotten, in the comfort of making up. And with the joy of being friends again the young husband and wife are almost ready to agree that the trouble was worth while. After several years, too, 12 perhaps, per-haps, or 15, difficulties are less apt to arrive. If there is fine quality In both partners, a real willingness to forget and forgive, to change and concede, to grow together in habits and likes, then the marriage gradually gradu-ally becomes a real thing the most perfect companionship human beings be-ings can know in this life. But in between the first year and the twelfth year there may come a bad time. The glamour of honeymoon honey-moon days is gone, the novelty of the new life has worn away, life has fallen into a routine of responsibilities re-sponsibilities and duties; office, meals, dusting, telephone, bills, getting get-ting the children off to school, petty cares, petty amusements, petty worries. wor-ries. Dangerous Tears for Women. For certain types of women these are dangerous years, when there gradually grows upon them a hunger hun-ger for excitement change, romance; ro-mance; in short a hunger for self-expression. self-expression. For they are apt to find that self-expression along lines that hold no interest for the other member of the team. Take the example of 36-year-old Jean Porter, a Springfield wife and mother. Jean's husband is employed by one of the big utilities corporations corpora-tions and earns a salary of about $100 a week. He travels a good deal, and is fond of golf, poker, fishing, movies, and his luncheon club. Jean taught harmonics in the public pub-lic schools before she was married and has never lost her interest in music. She plays the organ every Sunday is a community church of no special denomination, but writes that she has no religious convictions. 'He's a Good Man Bat' "Everything Bob does or likes, except ex-cept our common interest in our girl and boy, Is intensely and fearfully fear-fully boring boring boring to me!" writes Jean. "He is a good man, who pays bis bills -and loves his children; I have never known him to be mean, although his horrible habit of teasing me about my aspirations jind my . 'pipa vdreama' and 'delusions 'delu-sions of Hollywood success are ai' tad as meanness, t gave up my profession when I married, but I have kept up my organ work, and naturally I associate with musical people. Tbre of tnesev to whom Bob especially objects, are a Russian Rus-sian -violinist and hit American wife,-and wife,-and his brother, who sings baritone in the choir where I play the organ. "HomelUe, for Bob" arid mel has grown to be mere civilities. He is scornful of everything that means self-expression to me, arid I cannot reconcile myself to wasting time upon the sort of entertaining and party that he likes. Men in to play card games, frankfurters and coffee at late hours, trips off In the car to some place where he can play golf, while (he children and I amuse ourselves, never any talk of culture or improvement, never the reading of any worthwhile books for Bob's only reading is the newspapers, a WNU Service.) INCOMPATIBILITY Tha first twelve years of married life are the most critical, according to Kathleen Norris. The husband and wife sometimes tend to drift apart during these years because they "find it impossible to develop similar interests." Miss Norris attributes at-tributes this to a failure to build upon those interests they do have in common. "This is not only dangerous, dan-gerous, but stupid" she explains, "because happiness is never found ready made. couple of weekly magazines, and the radio weekly that doesn't seem life, to me. Appreciated by Another. "I have a church rehearsal one night a week, and often ask my friends Into my home for an eveniJtg of chamber music. Bob has small sympathy with the struggles and handicaps of these foreign-born musicians mu-sicians and accuses me of being in love with the singer, Vanni. That I like him. that we have interests and ambitions in common, that he is one of the most fascinating and cultured cul-tured gentlemen I ever knew, I do not deny. "Incidentally, Vanni is penniless except for occasional singing engagements, en-gagements, and has no intention of marrying me or anyone else. But he is sensitive, congenial, stimulating stimulat-ing to me. and our love for music is a great bond. Would you advise me as to a separation. Bob going his own way and I mine, with infinitely in-finitely less friction than we experience experi-ence today, and freedom for both? Surely it isn't necessary for two persons of completely different temperaments tem-peraments to force themselves into a position that is a strain on both?" Build on Common Interests. Perhaps this letter gives us a rather rath-er extreme instance of what I was trying to express. Neither Bob nor Jean, in this case, has been wise enough to build, during the years, upon those Interests that they DO hold In common. They have developed, devel-oped, rather, the things that separate sepa-rate them, Bob sneering at Jean. Jean cultivating friends who despise everything for which Bob stands. This is not only a dangerous situation situ-ation but a stupid one. Every woman, wom-an, married or single, has to learn to live with someone, learn to adapt herself to that person's ways of doing. Women who flatly refuse to charige, to understand, to cultivate other .than their natural tendencies, are presently lonely women, with the history of two or three unsuccessful unsuc-cessful marriages behind them, and with a final dismal conviction that they might have made a success of the first marriage, after alL Women to Blame. In Jean's case I think she Is to blame, or largely to blame, as I do in most cases. For it usually Is the wife who sets the tone of the marriage. If her husband gets the Idea that what he does is contemptible contempti-ble to her. he naturally retaliates. He . want, tQ show her . that -fc can have good-time- in hia own -way," and so the breach between them widens, and all the spirit and flavor departs from their married "life. Wiser wives and. husbands begin early in marriage to cultivate similar simi-lar tastes. The husband may never appreciate classical music; the wifo may never make a good poker player.' play-er.' But tomparitonshlp Ts more precious pre-cious to Both than aii adolescent de-, sire to hurt each other, and so by degrees each learns to extract from uncongenial things a certain amount of pleasure, and the marriage deepens deep-ens from its beginnings Into that miraculous mi-raculous relationship that only the most fortunate human beings ever know. Happiness In being together, dependence upon each other, the delight de-light of sharing even the simplest plans for the children or the holidays, holi-days, this is true marriage, and ninety-nine out of every hundred wives might achieve it If stv voulU Qoeea Elisabeth Queen Elisabeth was not the divinely di-vinely sweet creature that the historians his-torians and poems of her time presented pre-sented her. Her temper was as red-hot red-hot as her hair. She sometimes drank too much and at the slightest provocation, showed by her actions in anger that she forgot she was a queen and a lady. She had tha questionable ques-tionable habit of raving at her maids and on occasions struck, pinched and kicked them. Old Age A man who gave his name as Bayed Hehren convinced Chicago census director George W. Schreech he was 128 years old and that age was recorded on the official blank. In Phoenix, Aril a -white-haired Mexican woman whom census enumerators enu-merators reported was 117 or 118 years old refused to pose for photographers photog-raphers saying she was "too old." To Him Who Waits Four years ago some customers walked out of Mrs. Charles Will-man's Will-man's lunchroom in Belleville' HI., with four silver spoons. She deplored de-plored the loss, because they were a wedding present Recently a stranger strang-er came in and handed her three of the spoons. He said he would mail the fourth from Oklahoma. Women Healthier Acording to medical authorities, women are healthier than men. For every man who reaches the age of 100, eight women attain that age. HViKKiia an Wtwa la RENO.
