German and Italian newspapers gave only a meagre coverage to the recent visit to Paris of King George and Queen Elizabeth. Reason was that they wanted to minimize the British-French entente and rivalry with Hitler's visit to Rome. But the National Broadcasting Company, which devotes four and a half hours daily to foreign language broadcasts, sent this- story by short wave in both German and Italian. They gave news elements and editorial comments from leading U.

By ritOFESSOR QUIZ Close to one hundred brainbuster radio programs conducted by me have confirmed my long-suspicion that men are no brighter than women; college boys (and girls) no quicker on the trigger than their "less fortunate" brothers and sisters; lawyers and city slickers (oh, as a class, I mean!) have too much, wit for their brains and teachers have too much education for theirs. They have the limitations of their advantages; the vices of their si 1 CJ 3 drop of $103,000,000.

In the same period General Motors "cash-in-hand" reserves increased from $151,000,000 to $243,000,000 Similarly, Chrysler cut its inventories by 44 per cent, from $54,000,000 to $24,000,000. 2. Consumer Expenditures Increased six per cent over June which had four per cent better record than May. 3. Industrial Production Although July normally is off-season, with slackening manufacturing activities, its industrial production went up to 80, a 3 -point gain over June which chalked up a 1-point gain over May, which saw the low of the recession.

This year's July index of 80 compares witl 114 for the same month last year, while May's index of 76 is against 118 for May, 1937. 4. Employment Up by between 750,000 and 1,000.000, with the gain largely in agricultural labor. There was a small net rise in industrial employment for the month but the big advance in this field Is not due until late fall when the effect of the government's large-scale spending program will begin to make itself felt. The total U.

S. employment in June was 31,600,000. July according to preliminary estimates, will be around 32,250,000. Commission Shy There is one phase of Madame Secretary Perkins' recent trip to Europe which she will not discuss publicly. This is the activities of the President's Commission sent to study British and Swedish labor laws.

Confidential word is that certain industrial members of the Commission have been seeing the "wrong people" and unionites are preparing to kick up a rumpus about the while affair. Miss Perkins conferred with the Commission in London, but she is gunshy over what she learned. "What do you think will be result of the Commission's study?" a newsman asked. "A report." was Madame Secretary' bland reply. "Well, won't that be a surprise! Of course you wouldn't by any chance know what will be in this report." "No." "Do you know by any chance," inquired another newsman, "that British labor leaders told members of the Commission that there had never been any labor spies in England until American-owned firms introduced them -there?" "Yes," admitted Miss Perkins, "I heard that they had received such information." "And did you hear that they also gave the names of these "No, I didn't," snapped Miss Perkins, "and even if I had, I wouldn't tell German Censorship One of the odd facts about the VJA i 'L silt wz "srt Thirty-eight persons were injured and sent to hospitals and others suffered minor hurts in a collision of two New York Central trains, the Mercury and the Commodore Vanderbilt, at Toledo, Ohio.

The Commodore Vanderbilt smashed into the rear observation car of the Mercury which had stopped after striking an automobile on a crossing. This picture, showing the Commodore's locomotive against the Mercury's crushed observation car, was, made shortly after the wreck. Sobs Greet Verdict The Jackson Community hospital will hold a public reception Sunday in observance of its fifth anniversary. 'Directors have set aside August as "Hospital Month," and during the week of August 7 will hold open house from 3 to 5 o'clock each afternoon. Through the efforts of the King's Daughters, who maintain an operating room and a children's ward, and the hospital staff, more than 2,000 patients have been treated.

Controlled by a board of directors composed of representatives from Jackson civic groups, the hospital operates under a charter sanctioned by state and county boards of health. Since the institution Is supported entirely by donations and freewill offerings, any contributions from the public are thankfully received. The hospital is located at 319 Court street. QUEER WEATHER LONDON, Aug. 2 (JP) Storms swept across western England today, battering crops and felling trees, but most of the island sweltered in a heat wave.

WASHINGTON Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) Pacific. The generals want a highway over wnich they could send troops and military equipment In an emergency. This is where the diplomatic difficulty comes In. Canada must guarantee that the road may be used in time of war, though a third country might regard such a concession by Canada as an unneutral act. The idea is being sold to Canada with two strong arguments: she would get a $12,000,000 highway without cost, and she would get many times this amount in tourist business when this route is opened for automobile traffic.

If he can get the President's approval, Johnson will put a battalion of engineers to work immediately on a mile by-mile survey of the route. The Twenty-ninth Battalion of Engineers is stationed in the Northwest, ready to do a quick job. Business Cheer A confidential report on July business conditions has just been radioed to the President aboard the USS Houston by his inner council economists. The report was not entirely complete, since business indexes for the entire month had not been compiled. Nevertheless it was sufficiently complete to give the President real ground for economic cheer.

Later in the month the inner council economists will be able to prepare another report which they are confident will be even more cheering. This is what they were able to radio the President so far: 1. Inventories There has been a "continuing rapid liquidation of the huge stocks that clogged the channels of production last winter. In the automobile industry, General Motors has reduced its inventories from the huge record of $279,000,000 on December 31, 1937, to $176,000,000 on July 1, 1938 a PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2 Interest in the 1933 Neshoba county fair mounted today as Philadelphia prepared to honor Mississippi's two largest cities, Meridian and Jack- son- -i, Meridian civic groups will lead a parade to this crowd-packed Neshoba center tomorrow for "Meridian Day" and attendant celebrations.

The Jackson Chamber of Commerce, headed by President T. M. Hederman, will lead a Capital City motorcade of several hundred persons to Philadelphia Thursday. Monday and Tuesday, opening days of an exposition which is significant not only for its agricultural contributions to the state but as a sounding board for political pronouncements, saw spectators flocking from all over North Mississippi. Drawing holiday-minded throngs are the blaring fanfare of a colorful carnival, horse racing, stock shows, scores of exhibits, special news reels, dancing and music by the Ellisville junior college band.

Feature of the fair contests Thursday will be competition for quartets sponsored by the Jackson Chamber of Commerce. Contestants are urged to report to the office of the Neshoba Democrat for registration and information. Trotting and pacing harness races, news reels of the last World Series baseball games and evening dances are entertainment events scheduled Wednesday and Thursday. Meridian and Jackson visitors will Bee on display fruits of one of the (richest agricultural sections in Mississippi, the prosperous area of Neshoba county is the center. They will learn that Neshoba farmers are no longer merely one-crop conscious, for the fine animals entered in horse show and HANNA IS COMING!

Average Housewife and Mr. Average Businessman, howsoever they may grouse along through life, don't have to sit up half the night reading brochures on How to Go to Sleep, and other insomnia cures. When I launched Quiz on the net work, almost two years ago, I wrote out a series of 30 questions and their answers, for that initial and novel tryout. John Public has been writing the questions (and the an swers) ever since; while a generous representation from the 48 States has trekked to the mike before me every Saturday night, to do skilful battle with their, wits. It almost seems that those who aren't engaged In submitting lists of questions (with plenty of "English" on many of them), or stepping up to the mike in the Saturday night contests, are the remainder of our population thinking up variations of the Quiz programs.

To date, my scouts inform me, there are 367 (the figure, they tell me, is "absolutely correct) varieties of the q. and a. radio program mainly on local stations. Shades of Socrates! And I wonder how the ghosts of Plato and Aristotle would fare next Saturday night on the network with me? Most tent-ln-questions are: "What bird can fly backwards?" (Humming bird.)

(No coaching, please and don't let anyone duck the right answer to that one it's three.) "What is the shortest verse in the Bible?" (Jesus Wept.) No sack of morning mail Is complete, of course, without some of the following popping out at least once: Why does a chicken cross the road; which comes first, the hen or the egg; what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable body; how high is up?

LESSON NO. 20 "Charlie," I said as we got down to work, "today we're going to do some serious study." "Bergen, you know all work and no play makes you a mightly poor citizen." Then looking up at me in his wise way, he asked, "Isn't more leisure the latest cure-all for this ailing world?" The little imp's effort to throw me off the track had no effect. I launched into an exercise through which we would learn to discriminate pitch and strength of sounds. I bid Charlie to place his hands over his ears and.

I did likewise. "But, Bergen," Charlie piped up, "you have nothing to say that I mind listening to." "Charlie," I admonished "this is no time for wisecracking." With our ears covered we found external sounds in this conversation were modified. What really happened was that the sound of our voices reached the auric nerve by way of the Eustachian tube at the back of the mouth, then reflected from the bone at the back of the ear It is when the student of ventriloquy has familiarized himself with sounds under these conditions that he can accurately judge whether his voice is pitched and modified to resemble a voice in the distance. Charlie dropped his hands to his lap. "Bergen." Charlie said.

"I'm sure if I had von for a vpnti.trrarto tlon." And the answer? Post mor terns? Dozens. One carried on a three months' correspondence with me, unsatisfied with my answer that talc was a lubricant even though I quoted three dictionaries and a physics text at him. Mike fright, and stage fright (wre have an audience at our shows) occur very infrequently with our contestants. Of almost a thousand contestants to date, only two have "taken a powder" on us and slipped out for the nearest subway entrance a minute before our zero hour. People from the audience have gladly filled in on these last-minute defections.

Seems there "just ain't no answer" to some questions especially where pigs and monkeys are concerned. Taking the pig first, a Brooklyn, dentist (one of our contestants some months ago) picked from the hat the question: "Which way do pigs tails curl to the right or to the left?" When the contestant responded that pigs' tails curled to the left, I ruled him out, declaring on the mike that all pigs' tails curl to the right. The telephone rang with more rapidity that night and the wires and the mail bounced in for many days pictures, even, from farmers around the country showing that their pigs had tails that curl very positively to the LEFT. To make it worse, some farmers sent pictures of pigs whose tall just didn't curl at alll Just hung down. Now, I had taken the trouble to consult a society of pig breeders, before selecting the pig question for that particular Saturday night broadcast; and they had answered my query that "All pigs' tails curl to the right." Unfortunately, as it turned out, this society specialized in the breeding of only one variety of pigs, whose tails, without exception, curled to the right.

The only answer is: It depends on the pig! But the monkey gave me even more sleepless nights than the cur. of a pig's tail. The question which started it all was: "Would a mon key climbing a rope strung through a pulley, raise or lower a weight equal to his own weight, fastened to the other end of that rope?" Aft er some tall guessing (and more than the usual prompting from the au dience) the contestant replied that the weight would most likely go down as the monkey started to climb. I flunked him on that an swer: The weight would remain stationary. Seems that every physicist but Einstein wrote In on that one- one mid-West university suffered a split in their faculty; learned theses flooded in.

If a guest, may filch his hosts simile, Walter, their answers were as far apart as half-past-twelve. Fate came to the rescue: the cir cus chanced to come to Madison Square Garden. We decided to take our troubles to their monkey cake and work out the problem in time-honored American trial-and-error fashion, broadcasting it as a special feature (if the circus would permit that We set up our paraphernalia; the fifty-pound Rhesus monkey assigned to stooge for science climbed speedily to the top. But, no, this didn't prove 'a thing other than that the pulley we used was faulty; it had stuck! We substituted a bicycle wheel, minus its tire; no chance of sticking now. Soon the monkey began his ascent and the weight remained stationary! I had been correct for one second: for the weight suddenly began to drop.

In another second, (with the monkey more than half-way up now) the weight began to -shoot up with alarming speed. The weight shot up so fast that the monkey, climbine desper ately, fell to the ground with a thud mat boomed ove rthe nation's loudspeakers. Everybody was wrong, sealants and guessers, physicists and psychics; the answer propounded was incomplete and therefore unanswerable. Some of the keenest twisters have come to me not in the routine course of a contestant sendins in a list of six questions with their answers for the 25 nrize each week. but born of that "non-commercial" urge to quiz the quizzer and lay him out! I mean the local report ers, who "lay for me" on my per sonal appearance tours 'round the country.

This time it's Mrs. Clare Tree Major, director of plays for children, who contends all this talk about the danger of exposing chil dren to fairy-tales is foolish.

She has sent her five troupes into hundreds of schools all over the country to present "Cinderella," "Jack in the Bean Stalk," and the rest, and she reports a heavy demand. A Case of Domination Why are children so fond of fairy tales? Because children are dominated by adults, says our authority, and they look forward to the day when they can dominate the adult world. In the fairy tale "Snow White" and "Cinderella," for example the child conquers the adult. And ev ery child watching the performance gains a kind of emotional release while he suffers and triumphs with the heroine. There's no clash between real life and the fairy tale world, insists Mrs.

Major. All real life is only a fairy story to the child anyway. she says, because he hasn't had enough experience to distinguish between the two. The Educational Moral Mrs. Major finds the moral of Business flows in a circle; money goes from one hand to another until finally it gets back to the same person, and then off again a sale and a purchase, a sale and a purchase.
