Show This Week by Arthur nrisbanr Redskins and Spartans Where Ghosts Creep She Threw No Party-New Party-New York Needs Money Mus-olini begins military training train-ing for Italian boys at the age oi eight years, the idea being to "givt boys a passion for military life through frequent contact with armed arm-ed forces." The red Ind ans went even further fur-ther back. They developed a pai-sicn pai-sicn for war and scalps In the squaw even b3fcre the little fighting fight-ing papoose was born, providing the females with interesting li'tle stone hammers used to crush in the skulls of surviving enemy warriors as the squaws went carefully over the battlefield at dusk. Sparta trained her boys for killing, kill-ing, even encouraging them to murder, mur-der, fcr practice, unarmed helots, as they went to their work before sunrise. But Sparta was unimportant compared com-pared to intellegent Athens, and a lew white Puritans easily disposed of the Indians. Intelligence and justice win wars. In these days of airplanes and pclxjn gas the warrior with a mere "passion for combat" will soon get more of it than he can digest. Long ago in Venice was biult a fine palace, the "Abbey cf St. Gregory." Greg-ory." The palace has changed hands and is now being "renovated," "renovat-ed," with plumbing, bath tub;, showers, electric bells, telephones, radio, that would considerably surprise sur-prise any ancient abbot. No "Long Bear" . from across the mountains, no roving Hun from beyond be-yond the Volga, has appropriated the religious palace to other uses. The new tenant is a very pretty slender American girl named Barbara Bar-bara Hutton, who brings with her the proceeds of a five and ten cent store system that can quickly change any old abbey into a modern, mod-ern, fashionable "dilatory domicle.'' She brings also a husband, a "Georgian "Geor-gian prince," named Mdivahi, byproduct by-product of the five and ten cent rtores, who will know how to make the old abbey "ring wLlth merriment." merri-ment." Strange old ghosts will creep cautiously over highly polished, pol-ished, newly waxed floors, and say to them: "Well, live and leairn." A young lady, christened "Greta Gustafson," known to many by her Invented name of Greta Garbo, celebrated cel-ebrated Her twlwIty-eigMh birthday birth-day recently. As a young girl she worked in al store in Stockholm, Sweden, and here she has made and earned ten thousand dollars a week. Her birthday is mentioned because this queer young lady did not "throw" ainy great party on the edge of any costly California swim-milng swim-milng pool. "Just a quiet evening at home," said she, and stayed at home to think .of swiftly passing time. That helps to explain her success. Es bildt ein Talent sich in der Stille. ' New York city must feed 400,000 and more hungry families, also pay their gas, light and rent bills. The city has been paying out $17,000,000 a month, or at the rate of $204,000,000 a year, almost- half what it cost to run the whole national na-tional government before the big war started. The problem, ' "How to continue getting the money," has been temporarily tem-porarily solved by a three.cornered agreement between the mayor and board of aldermen. Business in New York city will pay a "relief tax" of one-tenth of 1 per cent. These that pay income tax to the national governmknt will -pay to New York city relief 15 per cent of what they pay the government. The world's richest city will also organize a public lottery and invite citizens to gamble, profits to. help public relief. Another scientific discovery, most important if it stands the test of cold experiment, is revealed to the1 American Chemical society by Dr. Ellice McDonald, director of cancer can-cer research laboratories. The kidneys kid-neys of men and animals produce an enyme, or b.'ological catalytic, called "phosphotaz," that effectively effective-ly resists the action of cancer. Human Hu-man beings afflicted with cancer lack the phosphotaz in the kidneys and have too; much of it in the blood stream..' Mjanfsj 5n)tellig,en06 eventually will conquer all diseases.

The heridity Rosetta stone is a giant chromosome, chromo-some, with strings of the queer little genes that control heredity. Many Americans take Communism Commu-nism in the United States movt seriously. Governor Greeh of Rhode Island even says his state is "facin? ; a Communist uprising." Fortunately, Fortunate-ly, under the worst conditions, the state's militia, backed by the army of tha United States and its air planes, should be able to deal with that situation. |
