But, why people as Intelligent as the Austrlans should think of taking on another Hapsburg after what the last Hapsburg did to them is hard to understand. , ft There Is little enough left of Austria now. Do the Austrlans want Italy or Germany to take that little, or divide It between them? Set Record in Deep Sea Diving Never adopt a plan unless you know about It William Bryant, In the Louisiana penitentiary, read about DUllnger's "escaping from prison with the aid of a toy pistol, made of wood, terrorizing guards by the dozen, taking away their weapons." A newspaper clipping about that pistol was found on Bryant's body after he had been shot dead, trying the same "wooden pistol" escape method. Bryant and his fellow convict, William Chandler, whittled out two toy pistols two surely would be better than one. They and eleven other con-ict- s that followed them were all killed, wounded or caught All It is a pleasure to hear from the United States Chamber of Commerce that there are "only" ' seven millions out of work In this country. Mr. Green union labor head, says ten millions, but the chanfber says that is "exaggeration." On the other hand, statistics show that one family in every ten In New York city Is "getting home relief" which Is our substitute expression for the dole. In New York 071,800 persons are n the dole, 7,939 more than the previous highest record. That does not Indicate diminished unemployment. Government says It will "bar profiteering" on food, following the drouth. Many administrations' have said that, many times, but there is no "bar." Where there Is a scarcity there will be profiteering, and there is a scarcity. Secretary Wallace says It will Increase the cost of living 6 to 7 per cent next winter.

Harn, Hli.ro : ('Si 'i thestritt...'.' -- y you general England The Nutrition laboratory of the Carinstitution conducted experiInments which gave very Interesting formation. Balanced or "all round" diets were used. One squad of ten subjects received 3,000 calories (heat units) of food dally, the other only 1,800 calories, through a period of two months. Mental addition showed the full ration squad to"gain through practice double their accuracy in the first month, while the reduced ration squad had increased their accuracy only half at the end of two months. The reduced ration squad also made 50 per cent more errors than the full ration squad at the end of the second month. Similar differences In memory appeared between the two squads, but the reduced ration squad actually "went back" in the memory test, during the course of the second month. Using the tuning fork, and also currents, to electric showed the reduced ration squad had gone backward. In commenting on these brain tests, Dr. Donald C. Laird, Colgate university, believes that it Is the better general physical condition of the full ration squad that gives them the superiority rather than any real damage to the brain of the reduced ratim squad. What about the physical or body tests? In a "steadiness" test made by tracing with a pencil between two parallel lines, the squad on reduced rations not only made more mistakes but showed less Improvement In two months' practice than the full ration squad did In the first month. Strength of grip was decreased 8 per cent by the reduced diet, the left hand being more affected than the right. Speed of eye movement was reduced 5 per cent in the reduced diet group. Finger movement was also reduced In the reduced diet group. What do these experiments teach that negie of his Little Nora Ruth Nlclforos may witb confidence recite the prayer: "For give us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us." Be cause she had been disobedient, her mother, as shown In court, held the child's fingers over a gas flame, "burning them severely." The child's mother, sentenced to 35 days In Jail, was freed when the little girl told the Judge: "I love my mommy. was a bad, bad girl and picked things up after she told me not to. She never was mean to me before." It Is to be hoped that the mother will never be "mean" to her again.

He might have added that none is needed, since in Hitler Germany has a kaiser, Herr king and dictator, "three-in-one.- " Goebbels boast's: "Hitler does not start the day asking 'What do lead' lng hankers say?' Rather, bankers begin the day asking 'What does Hitler say?' " (iermany has no monopoly of that condition. Herr Goebbels will be stir prised to hear how many bankers and other gentlemen in this country, who once thought they had money, begin the day asking, "What does Roosevelt mm us?
