Britain and France at last have
decided to offer equality to G er-
many, but with conditions. Writers
report that the millions of Euro-
peons think the offer to recognize
Germany equality it the most sub-
stantial step toward peace since
the Locarno meeting nearly ten
years ago. This recognition should
bring Germany back into the
League of Nations. The outstand-
ing- condition which Germany must
accept is an agreement for a reci-
procal arrangement in forestalling
air raids. This reciprocal agree-
ment will include most of the na-
tions, and all promise to aid the
others if they are attacked via the
air.
At last the Boulder Dam nears
completion. This great, titanic
undertaking which interests every-
one because of its immensity and
man's power over nature, has been
tinder construction for three years.
Last week a diversion tunnel, in
use since 1933, was closed, the wa-
ters returned to their old channel,
and the new Boulder Lake of the
Colorado came into existence. It
is estimated that the lake will some
day hold enough water to provide
luxurious baths for every man, wo-
man, andi child in the world.
Huey Long's effort to grain more
fame through his effort at a war
seems to have been partially un-
successful,
With the crash of the great
dirigible Macon off the California
coast, politicians agree that the
death knell of liglvter-than-air craft
has been sounded. The great ship,
the largest dirigible in the world,
cost $2,450,000 and was command-
ed by Lieutenant Commander Her-
bert V. Wiley. The Macon was
the sister ship to the Akron, which
crashed off the coast of New Jer-
sey in 1933 with the loss of 73 of
her crew and officers. Wiley was
one of the three to escape from
that disaster. Only two lives were
lost in the Macon disaster Wed-
nesday, because of prompt SOS
calls and prompt answers by the
Navy fleet that was maneuvering
below. President Roosevelt has
given no hope that the dirigible
will be replaced.
Keiusing to vote to join the
World Court, the Senate brought
about the third major defeat of
President Roosevelt since he has
taken office. With the formidable
array of opponents, including the
Hearst newspapermen. radio,
speeches by Father Coughlin, Will
Rogers, Senator Thomas D. Schell
and Huey Long, the Senate vote
came out 52 for, 36 against, less
than the two-thirds majority re-
quired, The BosLon Post states the
case rather well when they ans-
wer the question why was the
World Court defeated, saying,
"We think it was principally be-
cause the people of the United
States are sick and disgusted with
European aifairs. They have seen
the return of the old secret diplo-
macy. They know well that the
League is powerless against the
underground machinations of the
powers,"
Italy is mobilizing her troops to
go against Abyssinia. She plans to
have 250,000 well trained troops in
action while the King of Abyssi-
nia threatens to have one million
on the field to meet them. It would
be just too had if Abyssinia
should g'ive the Big Bad Wolf,
Italy, the spanking she needs. Per-
haps some of the other European
hopefuls would lose some of their
enthusiasm,
At last llauptmann, in spite of
his nice looks, his way with wom-
en, and his unchanging counten-
ance, has been judged guilty and
sentenced to die on March 18.
Thousands sighed with relief
when the verdict was returned,
while other thousands, perhaps,
breathed a sigh of regret for the
man who has so stoutly and stol-
idly denied his gllilt.
It doesn't pay to laugh at your
wives, boys. J. H. Brawner, 83,
of Excelsior Springs, laughed at
his 79-year-old wife when she had
the whooping cough. She returned
the compliment recently when he
cut a tooth.

George Washington, Born 203 Years Ago,
Soon To B Honored on His Birthday
Patronize J-Tae advertisers.
To George Washington, our first
president and a great statesman,
we again give tribute in the cele-
bration of his birthday, the twen-
ty-second of this month. This
great man was born in Virginia,
17H2, and died at his beautiful
Mount Vernon home on December
14, 1709, His father died before
George was twelve years of age,
and the young boy was precluded
of the hope that he could obtain
an education in England as his
older brothers had done. Virginia,
then, was the provider of Wash-
ington's instruction until he was
sixteen, at which age he quit
school. Being a good woodsman, he
made that his profession for sev-
eral years, while he never neglect-
ed his study of military tactics
and "how to be a typical Virgin-
ian."
Washington's first military po-
sition was given him by his broth-
er a short time before he died. In
1752 he was appointed as a "major
and adjustant-general in charge
of one of the four military dis-
tricts of the State." From that
time on the popular young soldier
rose in favoritism among the high
officers of the American army.
Various honors were bestowed up-
on him, and his work as a soldier
was a valuable service to America,
After some years Congress began
to decrease in its strength. A new
form of government was decidedly
in demand. This was accomplished
through the efforts of. the delega-
tion which met at Philadelphia in
1787, and Washington was chosen
president of the convention. When
the Constitution wf.s completed,
the need of a president turned the
entire nation to the noble hero for
its leader, Washington accepted
reluctantly and was inaugurated
on April 30, 1789 as first president
of the United States. This new
"political leadership" was hardly
attractive to the great statesman,
but ho led the nation with a Arm,
guiding hand for eight years and
gave lip his noble service three
years before his death at Mount
Vernon.
■ People who throw bills in the
fire sometimes live to learn that
no merchant will continue to be
willing to send them bills forever.
She—Don't dare try to kiss me
or I'll yell for my father.
He—Where is he?
She—In South America.

Henry Ford seems to be more
optimistic now than when every-
one was saying prosperity was
just around the corner.
It's no punishment to sentence
a drunk driver to church for 21
Sundays, as a judge did recently,
when he can pick his own minis-
ter.
