The decisions set forth that "these major experiments in socialization sociali-zation involve unlawful delegation of powers vested In congress and violation by the federal government of the rights of the states," the Washington dispatch avers. ' The resettlement decision affected affect-ed only that part of the relief activities ac-tivities under Professor Tugwell's administration, leaving undecided the remainder of the $4,800,000,000 voted to the President last year. Much of the resettlement money has been spent and much more allocated, al-located, cancellation of which will raise problems. ' At Angels Camp, Calif., 25,000 persons watched the annual Calaveras Cala-veras county frog-jumping contest and saw "Can't Take It" cover a distance of 12 feet 3 inches In three hops. Another frog, raised on the ranch of the late Will Rogers, was second, with 12 feet 2 Inches. Twenty-five thousand human beings be-ings watched some frogs hop ; not half as many would have gathered to hear Einstein lecture on relativity. rela-tivity. . It is suggested that every American Ameri-can be compelled to go to school until twenty-two years of age to cut down the competition for jobs. It might be simpler to keep everybody every-body in school until sixty and then give everybody a pension of $200 a month. What could be simpler than that? The average1 sensible American starts making a living long before he is twenty-two and would do well to continue on that basis. Sir Hubert Wilkins, who has flown In the Arctic, Antarctic and other queer regions by plane, crossed the Atlantic by dirigible recently. Says Sir Hubert : "From almost anywhere in the United States, a business man could spend Wednesday and Thursday going go-ing about his business, catch the dirigible by airplane Thursday midnight, mid-night, spend' two business days in Europe and be at his desk the early part of the next week." New York police arrested a middle-aged woman begging near a church and "acting strangely." She wore men's shoes, five dresses, one over the other, and carried bank books showing deposits of $25,000. This should not discourage wise charity. Not every old woman, begging, beg-ging, has four extra dessses and $25,000. But It might well discourage discour-age thoughtless, Indiscriminate giving, giv-ing, which encourages professional beggary and causes young beggars to graduate as criminals. Following an old Roman custom, Mussolini is taking a census of the Ethiopians that remain. The total number Is between six and fourteen millions. Exact figures are wanted. The able-bodied will be put to work with plows, spades and shovels supplied by Mussolini, with Italians telling the Ethiopians where and what to dig. That need not horrify us, for It is what we have been doing In this country for a long time. It will be better for the Ethiopians Ethi-opians than killing and selling each other into slavery. Americans ask throe questions: "What is the news? Who won the game? Have you heard the story about ?" For that reason, the successful suc-cessful newspaper pays attention first to the news, told accurately and vividly, then It concentrates on sport then on humor. Such dry things as opinions, editorials, books, in the rear. Fiction ought to be number four but good fiction is scarce and the other kind not worth printing. Anti-religious hatred persists in Spain. While Pope Pius in Rome was addressing representatives of Catholic newspapers deploring Communism Com-munism and the Hitler attitude toward to-ward the Catholic church and the Catholic press a Spanish mob In Valencia was burning two Catholic churches, beautiful monuments of early days. Former indifference to religion has turned to actual hatred in many countries, and in those thai' wero most deeply religious. g. K :ng FpntirOF Syndicate, Inc. WNU Service. |
