Watch those waves at the
beach this summer. Benjamin F.
Hendrix swam boldly out to
meet an Incoming wave at a
Virginia beach and had his neck
broken when they met.
Expansion of rails because of
heat rays from the run was giv-

the future. Hla collie, “Bones”
picked a stick up in his mouth
and carried ft to his master who
threw It several yards away.
There was an explosion which
threw both man and dog to the
ground It was dynamite stick
Dynamite Is about as safe as
an unloaded gun. 8amuel F.
O'Brien, of Washington, acci-
dentally shot hla wife while ex-
amining a family heirloom, a
civil war pistol. Police Inspector
W Q Stott, also of the District
of Columbia, shot himself while
showing a friend a “fool proof”
hair trigger revolver. Neither
victim was fatally hurt.
Sometimes thing are not what
they seem While visiting the
grave of a relative In a Wash-
ington cemetery, Mrs. Susie M
Ball stepped on an Innocent
looking piece of canvas—and fell
Into an open grave covered by
the fabric. A Jury awarded her
substantial damages for Injuries
Little Jean Johnson stood on
the curb In a Maryland city wait-
ing to cross the street. A door on
a passing truck flew open, struck
him on the head and fractured
his skull. r
It is considered good marks-
manship to bring down your
prey with one shot, but a Wash-
ington colored citizen brought
down three men with a single
bullet during a street fight.
An impulse to be sociable re-
sulted fatally for William Abel,
18 year old Tennessee lad. Rid-

Important mortgage legislation
ever cnaetad by congress," by
Hugh Potter of Houston, presi-
dent of ths National Association
of Real Estate Boards, In ad-
dressing the twenty-seventh an-
nual convention In Houston.
"This act Is expected to produce
far-reaching results In re-organ-
lzatlon of a mortgage structure
of the country along the lines
of longer-term loans and lower
Interest rates,” Mr. Potter said.
During the last few days inti-
mations of additional contem-
plated barriers to International
trade have been received. An
unofficial announcement has
been made to the effect that
Japan Is likely to play upon con-
flicting British empire trade In-
terests over a month ago.Spokes-
men for Germany on the same
day stated that Oennany would
adopt measures to salvage her
foreign trade If It were threat-
ened by Holland and Oreat Brit-
ain.
Following the breakdown of
the negotiations between British
and Japanese cotton interest
over a division of empire mar-
kets for cotton textiles last
March, It will be recalled that
Oreat Britain announced that
restrictions against Importation
of Japanese goods Into her col-
onies would be enforced. It was
predicted at the time that this
policy of discrimination natur-
ally would tend to bring about
retaliatory action on the part of
Japan and react to the detri-
ment of both nations. It now ap-
pears that Japan Is about to
strike back.
The Japanese trade envoy vis-
iting the British West Indies an-
nounced last week that Japan
was prepared to enter Into ne-
gotiations with Canada and Aus-
tralia for trade treaties that
would result In reducing British
exports to these two dominions.
Inasmuch as both nations, and
particularly Auatrlalia. have fav-
orable trade balances with Ja-
pan. she Is in a position to bring
considerable ^pressure to bear to
obtain her concessions. However,
In the event that the dominions
should refuse to accede to Jap-
anese demands, the trade envoy
Is reported to have stated that
Japan would boycott Canadian
and Australian raw materials
now imported In large quanti-
ties
While British trade is thus
threatened by Japan, Germany
also Is ready to take reprisals
against Britain, as well as Hol-
land. if these nations adopt
clearing measures to collect
funds to reimburse their nation-
als for nonpayment of German
bond Interest Oermany buys
more from the two empires than
she sells them, and hence Is In
position to Inflict damage upon
the export trade of the colonies
and dominions.
World trade already has been
reduced drastically by depressed
buying power and hampered by
exchange restrictions, tariffs,
embargoes and quotas These
threatened restrictive measures
are discouraging in that they
forecast further strengthening
of the "walling-ln" movement
that is such a heavy burden to
recovery forces. — New York

brink of rain. Farms had been
lost, farmers were grim and sul-
len, indifferent toward their
debts; business houses were fail-
ing. A mental and spiritual
numbness hed set In as hope for
the future dwindled. Schools
closed, no tax money to pay the
teachers. A country preacher
sadly locked the church door
and left to live with relatives In
Kansas, unable to subsist longer
without pay.
Into this county In December,
1033, poured a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars of wheat benefit
checks. Farmers began buying,
paying notes, began inquiring
what the Interest on the mort-
gage was. Business boomed, taxes
were paid, schools re-opened,
and parishioners grateful to Ood
commenced paying the preacher.

A RELIEF LAW VOID
An Arkansas law declaring a
moratorium on the enforcement
of liens on the proceeds of life
insurance iw'icles was condemn-
ed by the unanimous vote of the
United States Supreme Court as
a violation of the constitutional
provision against impairment of
contracts Chief Justice Hughes
wrote an opinion distinguishing
the Arkansas statute from the
MinneWa mor'gage moratorium
taw. which was sustained a few
weeks a .to by a vote of five to
four In the Minnesota ease, he
said, the relief granted was reas-
onable from the standpoint of
mortagor and mor. gagee and
limited to the exigency to
which the legislation was ad-
dressed In the Arkansas law
the relief was neither temporary
nor conditional. The four dis-
senters in the Minnesota decis-
ion concurred in the finding hut
in a separate opinion, written by
Justice Sutherland declared that
the question before the court
was Identical with the Minnes ta
case They rejected as unsound
and dangerous doctrine the no-
tion that violation of provisions
of the constitution may be meas-
ured by the length o: time they
are to coutinue or the extent of
the infraction Said Justice Suth-
erland "We do not possess the
benevolent i lower to compare
and contrast Infringement* of
tNe constitution and condemn
them when they are long-lived
or kreat or unqualified, and con-
done them when they are tern
porary or small or conditioned ”
It U by a narrow margin that
the court sustains the theory
that the “reserved powers" of
the state may be employed for a
fixed time under the stress of
ereftgeney to suspend the strict
amplication of the constitution-
al restraints on the states —New

News of the drouth and heat
wave hampering the com belt Is
a sharp reminder that the farm-
er's primary enemies are neither
over-production nor high freight
rates, hut ancient Inanimate
forces tha' can neither be de-
fected nor wholly understood.
The first cave man who
scratched the soli with a stick
and dropped a few wild seeds In-
to the scratch was at the mercy
of the elements; and ultra-mod-
ern farmer, who uses expensive
machinery and gets advice from
his state agricultural college, Is.
In the last analysis, in the same
boat.
Whether he will get a crop de-
pends on things over which he
has not the slightest control —
rain, wind and sun. If they are
kind, his ground will yield
bountifully; If they are not. It
won’t and there Ls nothing he
can do about It.
The old risks of agriculture—
the oldest business risks In all
the world—are ths same now as
they were before the pyramids
had been built.
The corn belt’s sufferings this
spring remind one of those eerie
predictions some geologists have
®*de—that the greater part of
the Interior of America is des-
tined, some day. to become seal-
arid end barren, a nearly water-
less region, where things will not
grow and men will not be able
to Uve except os scattered no-
mads.
To be sure, not aR geologists
make this prediction, and those

JAPAN GETTING NERVOUS
Japan's unwillingness to enow
its hand at the London naval
conference has made a bad Im-
pression on Oreat Britain and
the United States. These under-
stand from Japan’s failure to
state Its desires that tt expects
to go skme and develop its fleet
at Its own pleasure. In conse-
quence, the two other nations
have taken the hint and now an
planning for a vigorous enlarge-
ment, not diminution of naval
strength. This is not what Japan
wishes. Xt desires them to redace
while tt enlarges. It has decided,
therefore, to send to London two
admirals wltn definite Instruc-
tions.
This action is probably too
late. The British First Lord of
the Admiralty has announced
that In hie opinion, "Interna-
tional has become
a dream.” No one now seriously
expects the renewal of naval
agreements In lMft-M. Great
Britain has determined to main-
tain, if poosibte, its world trade
and to defend Its trade routes
with a superior navy. The Unit-
ed Mates has deckled to bam its
float definitely on the Pacific,

from 50,000 years up, so that no
one need worry for fear that the
hot dry weather which ls blight-
ing crops today Is the forerun-
ner of the desert’s arrival In
Iowa.
Nevertheless, these stories of
parching drouth and devastating
heat make one think about It.
And they lead one to wonder
how long tt win be before seen
get sense enough to settle their
differences with one another and
present a untied front toward
their real enemies—the Implac-

nature.
