Wins Title of
No. 1 Life Guard
Eddie Stetser, twenty-five, of the
Atlantic City beach patrol, who won
the title of national champion life-
guard against 93 competitors from
ell the Atlantic seaboard from
Maine to Miami The grueling test
required ocean rescues by swim-
ming, by lifeboat end by e combi-
nation of the two. Stetser graduat-
ed from Atlantic City Trades school
two years ago, after starring in
football there.
Wedding in Mouth of Whale
The wholesale killers of the old
days prepared their killings by
marching men up and down, drill-
ing them, encouraging them with
titles, brass bands to lead them,
fancy uniforms. All that means
little now.
About 100 miles from Berlin there
is a station called Leuna. There
most useful work is done, in theory
and through study of the manufac-
ture of synthetic petroleum; and
there most important, learned men
with big heads, spectacles and an
amount of education that would
make you dizzy if you could imag-
, ine it, concentrate their brains on
the preparation of better, more ef-
ficient poison gases e nd high ex-
plosives.
Every country has its similar
death laboratory; men perhaps as
efficient as those of Germany,
, though Germany is the kingdom of
chemistry, the teacher of other na-
I tions.
Maine It Captured by
the Republicans
MAINE, the "barometer" state,
is beck in the Republican
column at least so far as its state
ticket Is concerned. The G. O. P.
captured the United States senator-
ship. the governorship and thre*
congressional seats. Senator Wal-
lace H. White, Republican, defeated
Gov. Louis J. Brann, who sought
to unseat him. Lewis O. Barrows,
Republican, won the governorship
by a substantial majority over F.
Harold Dubord, Democrat.
The vote cast broke all records
for size and Interest in the election
was intense. The state had been
visited by both President Roosevelt,
as he returned from his vacation
cruise, and Gov. Alf M. Landon,
the Republican Presidential nomi-
nee, who made speeches there only
a few days ago. Colonel Knox, vice
presidential candidate on the Re-
publican ticket, also had canvassed
the state. Brann, who was elected
governor in 1032 and re-elected two
years later, was the first Democrat"
to hold that office in Maine and
was personally popular. White was
elected senator in 1030 after ten
years in the house of representa-
tives.
With a jawful of whalebone for decorations and the leviathan's ton
sil* for an altar, Betty Gentry and J. Rob Henderson, were married
in the cavernous mouth of a captured whale at Long Beach, Calif.,
with Rev. Isaac McRae officiating at the novel ceremony. The bride
and groom hail from Baird and Olney, Texas, respectively.
Cowdrey Brothers in the Navy
'HANDSOMEST COACH"
-tit ,
.'V*
"The Cowdrey Brothers in Uncle Sam's Navy" might well prove a fit-
ting title for the gentlemen in this picture. The cruising Cowdrey
brothers of Virden, 111., are viewing the Hawaiian landscape ¿rom Koko
Head beach on the island of Oahu. AH are serving aboard the flagship
Pennsylvania. They are each six feet tall and wear the same size
elothes. They remit a total of $180 monthly to their mother, maintain-
ing e Joint bank account All are high school graduates and winners
at many military and athletic competition prizes. They comprise a
ill team which remains undefeated.
University of Santa Clara in Cal-
ifornia claims that in Laurence T.
"Buck" Shaw it has the handsom-
est coach in football. Buck was
offered a contract by a Hollywood
movie concern the other day but de-
clined, saying: "1 know my limita-
tions and I wouldn't be any more
use to you as an actor than the
Marx Brothers would be U me as
e backfleld."
Henry Irving, on the stage of his
theater in London, prepared an im-
pressive presentation of the witches
in "Macbeth," old, toothless hags,
preparing their hell-broth, with
power to summon spirits from the
dead and make them foretell the
future.
Far more efficient ore those sol-
emn German chemists, physicists
and other professors, preparing the
real hell-broth of poison gas, upon
which the future of civilization and
the domination of the earth may
depend for many centuries.
We had our periods of universal
barbarism and cannibalism, our
ages of flint, bronze and iron, our
many interesting forms of ruler-
ship, planned to give one or a few
control over all the others. We had
the age of military feudalism, and
many think that we are now seeing
the end of "industrial feudalism."
There may be in the centuries
ahead of us a period of airplane-
poison gas rule, which will make
the peoples of the world a. com-
pletely subject to a single dictator-
ship as were the ancient galley-
slaves, swinging their oars under
the lash.
There are a good many things
we haven't seen and many to which
we devote too little thought, includ-
ing perhaps the fact that it is dan-
gerous to be too rich if you are not
prepared to defend yourself against
burglars.
Thoso thousands of millions in
gold that we are hiding away in a
hole in the ground, as ingeniously
as any squirrel hiding his hickory
nuts, may bring us trouble some
day.
The thought of those ten thou-
sand millions' worth of gold bars
and dollars, hidden not very far be-
low the surface, might cause some
ingenious Asiatic or European to
say to himself:
"For one or two billione I could
prepare the ncceaaary machinery,
flying ships and poison gas inchid-
ed, to conquer the nece.-sary areas
of the United States and frighten
the others Into Hubmlaslon. Having
laid down my layer of gas, I would
descend and take tho ten thousand
millions and go home with a clean
profit of eight billions In gold."

Mussolini races his big Italian
built automobile, the engine burn-
ing alcohol, made of Italian farm
products—no gasoline. Some law-
makers in America suggest com-
pelling the use of 10 per cent alco-
hol In all fuel for Americun auto-
mobiles. Fuel alcohol can be made
from corn, and the law, It is said,
would give work to 2,000.000 men on
30,000,000 acres of farm land.
it seems Impossible to believe the
hideous accounts of the maltreat-
ment and cruel deaths inflicted upon
«•■omen In the civil war now raging
In Spain.
That men should fight and mur-
der each other is to be expected,
since they are at best "half tiger,
half monkey," and often the mon-
key gives way to the tiger. But
that they should indict shameful ill
treatment and hideous di-th on de-
fenseless women seems 'utterly un-
believable, even when you know
what men are, in a mob.

Communism Is Denounced
by Pope Pius
DOPE PIUS XI may be physically
* weak, as recent reports say, but
age and illness have not lessened
the vigor of his opinions and his
way of xpressing
them. In greeting
and blessing some
five hundred Span-
ish refugees who
were received at
Caitel Gandolfo, the
holy father took oc-
casion to denounce
strongly the "mad"
forces of Commu-
nism which, he de-
clared. menoced, in „
Spain and e I s c - Po«* P,u Xl
where, "the very foundations of all
order, a!l culture and all civiliza-
tion." He urged the constituted
authorities of all nations to oppose
"these great evils with every reme-
dy and barrier that is possible" and
prophesied that there will be utter
chaos if "those who have a duty in
the matter do not hasten to repair
the breach—if. indeed, it is not al-
ready too late."
The pope spoke especially of the
situation in Spain, but said the crisis
there is "a school in which the
most serious lesson is being taught
to Europe and to the whole world —
to a world now at last wholly
steeped, ensnared and threatened
by subversive propaganda, and
more especially to a Europe bat-
tered and shaken to its very founda-
tion."
For forty minutes the pontiff
spoke passionately, his voice at
times broken with emotion, and his
address was transmitted by radio
to all the civilized world.
Reichsfuehrer Hitler, too, took
onother hard whack at the Com-
munists ot a ceremonial tribute to
the World war dead in Nuremberg.
Before 120,000 uniformed Nazis and
50,000 others he boasted of Ger-
many's armed strength and
shouted:
"Our old enemy, bolshevism, is
vanquished within Germany, but
still active around her borders. But
let no one be deceived. We are
ready at any hour. We all have
one wish—to maintain peace — but
with it goes one firm decision:
Never to surrender Germany that
enemy we hove come to know so
well."
If Hitler, os some think, tries to
lead the coming five-power Locarno
conference Into forming an anti-
Soviet alliance, he will be firmly
opposed by France. Foreign Min-
ister Yvon Dclbos say so, and de-
clares France will under no clrcum-
stances abandon her military pact
with Soviet Russia.
According to Provda, authorita-
tive newspaper of Moscow, Hitler
plans to attack and partition Czecho-
slovakia before he embarks on a
war against the Soviet union.
Benito Mussolini and his cabinet
appropriated large sums o build up
Italy's army, navy and air forces
to greater strength and planned to
carry on vigorously the campaign
for .>elf-sufllcicncy in raw materials.
It looked as if the dove of peace
was preparing to leave Europe, and
as relations between Japan and
China grew more strained every
day, she probably will have to tuko
refuge on the western continent.
labor leader, who has Just returned
from a visit to Russia. Said ho:
"After years of derision of tha
principles of the Socialist move-
ment, after abuse of unions as the
pillars of capitalism, we now have
the curiously Incongruous spectacle
of Communist organizations want-
ing to come into our midst and be
a part of the movement they have
so derided.
"I do not know whether you are so
credulous as really to believe that
there is a sincere conversion to the
principles of organized labor. How-
ever. for myself and the national
council of labor I say without hesi-
tation that the single, simple ex-
planation of the tactics of the Com-
munist movement today is the ob-
vious, abject failure that has ac-
companied attempts to capture the
Socialist movement for Communist
principles."

British Workers Reject
Alliance With Reds
BRITISH organized labor will
have no truck with the Com-
munists. The trades union congress
at Plymouth rejected, by over-
whelming votes, three resolutions
fsvorlng the formation of a "pop-
ular front" alliance with the reds,
slmilsr to the combinations thst cap-
tured the governments of Franca
aed Spain.

San Sebastian Captured
by Spanish Rebels
THE Spanish rebels scorcd their
greatest victory to date when
they captured San Sebastian, cap
ital of Guipuzcoa province and fa-
mous Bay of Biscay resort. Santa
Barabaro fort, dominating the city,
was first taken and the city's war
council then decided to abandon the
place, despite the opposition of the
anarchists. The more conservative
Basque nationals prevented the reds
from burning the city, only a paper
factory and two residences being
destroyed, and th-> defending forces
retreated toward Bilbao, accompa-
nied by thousands of civilians and
foreigners. Insurgent troops, com-
manded by Col Jose Beorlegui,
marched In and were ceremonious-
ly reviewed, and the bishop of Pam-
plona officiated at a thanksgiving
service.
The municipal governor, Antonio
Ortega, and his staff boarded a
yacht to go to new headquarters at
Zumaya, about 15 miles west of
San Sebastian. The new line of
defense was established at Orio,
about halfway to Zumaya.
Government spokesmen claimed
considerable victories in the Tala-
yera sector southwest of Madrid
ond not far from the Portuguese
border.
Jose Hernandez, the communist
minister of education, took
energetic action to rid all universi-
ties, colleges, and schools of teach-
ers "who might use their positions
to make enemies of the republic."
Fleet Will Maneuver in
North Pacific Waters
BACK at his desk after an illness
of six months. Secretary of the
Navy Claude A. Swanson immedi-
ately made an announcement that
will be of deep
interest to J a p a n.
The annual fleet
moneuvers which
last May were
shifted to the Canal
Zone as a concilia-
tory gesture to Ja-
pan, will be held
next year in North
Pacific and Hawai-
, Inn waters, and
probably the Tokio
See. Swanson prc>s wU, yH|j
again.
With the announcement Secretary
Swanson asserted Japanese plons to
retain overage submarines and de-
stroyers involve a "violation ' o* the
London and Washington noval tren
tics, which are to expire Uecember
31 by Japanese abrogation lie fol
lowed up his charge with the stale
ment that the United States hai
completed plans for two new battle-
ship* and is prepared to begin con-
struction "at a moment's notice '
The fleet maneuvers, officially de-
designated as "fleet problem No.
18." will be held during late May
and early June The arco of opera-
tions. it was indicated, will be the
triangle between the Aleutian Is-
lands, Hawaii, and Seattle, where
the fleet problem of 1035 was con-
ducted. Vessels and planes probably
will work as far west us the Wake
Islands.
Armament of the new battleships
Is at present limited to U Inch guns,
but Admiral William H. Standley,
chief of noval operations, said
frankly that if Japan does not agree
to this limitation by next April, "tho
sky is the limit."

Sabotage on American
Warship Revealed
OUR navy's intelligence depart-
ment hus discovered that o
recent small fire on the cruisor
Indianapolis while she was being
overhauled in the New York navy
yard was cau ed by tho driving
of phonograph needles and nails in-
to sn electric cable; and other sus-
pected sabotage on war vessels is
being investigated. The work on the
cruiser was being done by civilian
employees and Capt. Charles A.
Dunn, Industrisl manager of the
yard, ssld the piecing of the
nails in the cshles was "undoubted-
ly" a deliberate attempt to damage
the cruiser. Fortunately the fire
was confined to the short circuited
csble and the ship Itself suffered
no harm.
