After 20 years of vigorous rule, Pats gave his country on January 1 a new democratic constitution. It promises democratic rights to the nation's 1,100,000 people (88 per cent of them Estonians), guarantees minority rights to Russians (8 per cent and Germans (1 per cent), disestablishes the Church (most Estonians are in-th- Cool Your Home With Springleaf Green Shades Lutherans).

AT 40 NEW YORK To motorists who wish to "make time," Travelers In surance Co. last week addressed a book grimly titled "Death Be gins at 40.", Inside the booklet Travelers points out that automobile acci dents occuring at speeds over 40 m.p. h. are more than twice as likely to be fatal as accidents that happen below that speed. Behind the booklet was last year's record road toll 40,- 300 dead. Dramatic centerpiece of "Death Begins at 40" is Grant Wood's paint ing, "Death on the Ridge Road," which shows a big red truck about to crash head-o- n into a black sedan at a hilltop curve. Pages of statistics prove that most fatal accidents oc cur to experienced male drivers in the prime of life going straight ahead on dry roads in clear weather but at high speed.

We've just seen thi3 new color and like it. For one thing the green is soft enough in tone to diffuse the glare of sunlight and keep the rooms of your home cool and livable even on sizzling hot days. Then too, green is one of the most restful colors on the eyes and the nerves. If you have it in the kitchen you'll find that room a cooler, more pleasant place to work in.

But definitely a commer cial success is another cotton machine with nearly as many social implica tions the Dixie Cotton Chopper. For when several South American planters ordered cotton choppers last week, they could not be promised delivery sooner than next July because Dixie Cultivator Corp. of Dallas was al ready working at capacity. Cotton is planted in rows some three feet apart and when the plants are a few inches high they have to be thinned out into hills about twelve inches apart, two or three plants to a hill. Because it has always been done by hand labor with a hoe, this thinning is called "chopping." From April to June every year the South's cotton fields are full of an army of choppers, each doing about an acre a day. In 1920 a San Antonio jack- named Ellis Albaugh at Seguin, visited his brother-in-lahad a brokTexas. The brother-in-laen leg, and not enough choppers were available to work his cotton fields. So Ellis Albaugh built a crude machine which did it. Not until last year was the mechanical cotton chopper good enough for commercial success. Today, it comes machine which in two sizes, a can chop twelve acres a day, a two-romachine which will chop 25 when pulled by a team, four acres an hour when pulled by a tractor. The mechanism is simple a unit of rotating blades suspended beneath a cart at right angles to the row. Each blade backs into the ground heel first as the machine trundles overhead, comes out point last, leaving the loose dirt in the hole but removing the surplus seedlings.

Nothing of importance was found on Spy Rumrich but crude drawings of a plane and a tank. Spy Hofman, who spoke no English, was arrested on the "Europa" with several letters she had been engaged to deliver, including one offering $1,000 for information about the Navy aircraft carriers "Enterprise" and "Yorktown." An indication of the value which his foreign employer put on Mr. Rumrich was his salary: $50 a month. But he had cherished at least one melodramatic and incredible plan, which his superiors prudently quashed before he had a chance to try it. It was to lure Colonel Henry W. T. Eglin from his post with the 62nd Coast Artillery at Fort Totten, N. Y. to a Manhattan hotel, where he would have been induced, either by plump Fraulein Hofman or by violence, to surrender certain "secret mobilization plans." In f.
