The senlii'S were broadcast, new feature of a royal funeral. The simple Church of England burial service, read by the Archbishop of Canterbury, was heard far over the earth, wherever P.rUuln'a 400,000,-000 400,000,-000 subjects live. Veterans having successfully climbed the long, long road, the government began the biggest "layoff" "lay-off" Job In history, the printing of two billion four hundred million dollars' worth of bonds, to be distributed dis-tributed among 3,518,191 World war veterans. The mere distributing cost alone will be $7,000,000. Now government wonders what new taxea can be Invented to pay ' the two and one half billions. Interesting news from Ethiopia sent by an American correspondent says the residence of Halle Selassie's Selas-sie's son has on the roof a large red cross, although It has nothing ' to do with the Ited Cross. Associated Associ-ated Press sends news of Swedish "field hospital," captured by Hal-Inns Hal-Inns In the South, carrying ammu- j nltlon on five trucks adorned with Red Cross flags and Insignia. The "field hospital" automobiles contained, con-tained, In addition, 27 cases of munitions. In modern war, the safa plan seems to be bomb everything.

"The Blood Is the Life," accord-i accord-i lng to an old Hebrew saying, and oxygen Is the life of the blood. No oxygen means death. In three minutes min-utes or less; too little oxygen means premature death, Inferior health meanwhile. The Dlonne quintuplets are mar-yelous mar-yelous In their health. The marvelous marvel-ous babies sleep outdoors every morning and afternoon; on one oc-' oc-' caslon the temperature was 30 degrees de-grees below zero. All five walk, all have gained weight during the past month, and have new teeth. Annette has three new ones, twelve In all. All have beautiful big eyes, high foreheads, pretty faces and look as French as the Marseillaise; get plenty of oxygen, oxy-gen, but wrap up well. Lloyd George says the new king, Edward VIII, has the magnetism of his grandfather, Edward VII; that he comes to the throne with such great troubles ahead as few kings have ever encountered, but "his courage and his sure Instinct will not fail him." The unnecessary air disaster In Hawaii, two United States bombing ; planes destroyed In collision while ; plflng "In formation" and six men j killed, causes aviators to say that they object to night formation fly-j fly-j lng. They may well object; nothing noth-ing more densely stupid could be j Imagined than sending up planes to . fly at high speed, almost wing to I wing, Inviting disaster and death. Even In these busy times there ought to be somebody sufficiently Intelligent to stop that nonsense, at night, and In daytime also. Mr. John Horan of Milwaukee, called by his fellow workers "Soda I Ash Johnny," first used soda ash ! to clean locomotive boilers, a discovery dis-covery that should have made him rich, but did not. "Soda Ash Johnny," a proud man, refused to let his son accept a pension, pen-sion, told the authorities: "I am still able to work, and no boy of mine Is going 'on the county.' " It will surprise you to hear that the son, aged sixty-six, has applied for an old age pension. The statement that Imagination . Is worse thnn reality applies to everything death Included, let us hope. When a colony of nudists move on San Diego, Calif., the strongest protest comes from San Diego's Braille club, an organization of blind people. They could not actually actu-ally know whether the colonists were dressed or not, but they do not like the idea. Consider how men have persecuted, perse-cuted, tortured and hurned each other for religious differences. In matters that they could neither see nor know, iej King- Features Syndicate, ino.
