The fleet itself, which consisted ot 131 vessels, was considerably weakened by storms on its trip from Lisbon to England. Only 70 could actually be used in an en gagement. The main English fleet, consisting of 80 much smaller ves sels, were all available for action. As the Spanish galleons lumbered up the English channel, they were unable to return the rapid shot cf the English because of their slow delivery. Driven off Grave-lines, the helpless Armada was riddled by English shot.

The wind rose to a storm and drove both fleets to the north. The Spanish admiral saw his only chance of escape around the north Storm and wreck followed him and only about 50 vessels returned home. The destruction of the Armada proved the collapse of Spain's navel power. A LAW TO HELP FARMING Most of the demand for a law on farm-relief overlooked the fact that there was one law already, of long standing, bearing on the subject. This law has been invoked quite actively during the past few days.

Being an older law than the one passed by congress last winter it seems to have more effect than that law. Where the new has seemed vague and doubtful in its influence on farm affairs the old law has taken hold with the hand and voice of authority. The old law is the law of supply and demand. Corn has jumped to a value of more than a dollar a bushel. Pork is going up.

Although there has been a big carry-over surplus of wheat from the 1929 crop, and although this surplus has by its very presence smothered every hope of fair and compensatory prices for the 1930 crop still, wheat is froing up.

When these war-clouds break and let loose their fierce winds and tempests, your safe covert and hiding place will be the character and strength of your citizens, not your material resources and military defenses.

You have been busy building fortifications and making alliances; you had better change the emphasis of your policy and go to making men and building up your citizenship. This word is no less needed today than in Isaiah's time. The nation that builds upon material foundations is building upon shifting sand.

Berlin bars are the most aristocratic in the world and their international bartenders are not only linguists but often men of education.

Kalamazoo river were spoken here recently that it "was" one of the rvost charming rivers in the world but that it "is" cluttered with garbage and other discarded things.

Nature gets credit for the river as it was and man discredit for it as it is. Mr. Madison Grant, visitor from New York and experienced in the civic beautification projects of that city, will be pardoned for noticing the condition of the river here; there really is no way to overlook It, particularly in hot weather. Yet. notwithstanding the fact that the condition is under nose constantly, title has been done to reclaim its 'jeauty and sanitation.

The river in its present capaci'y of filth conveyor represents a neglected civic opportunity. The reason for listint? the improvement of it as pmong the outstanding questions before the city planning commission, scarcely needs pointing out. It is most encouraging that the commission already has discussed rnd given recognition to the matter nt its early meetings. There is new hope now of converting the river's present ugly uncleanliness into sanitary beauty and again make it r.ne of the most charming rivers in the world. Aside from the personal satisfaction to be gained from the achievement of that, it would be good advertising for highly unfavorable advertising for Eattle Creek.

erty. In recent years, adverse publicity has concentrated public attention on only one of the many functions of the service. Because of the increasing need for patroling the shores of the country, the seizure of contraband goods came to be regarded generally as the only function of the coast guard. The job of combatting all kinds of smugglers is but one of the duties of the service, though this has been a duty since the beginning and is as much a duty when applied to the smuggling of liquor as to the smuggling of aliens or diamonds. In the last year alone, the coast guard either saved from drowning or rescued from peril 6.000 persons and averted the destruction of property worth many millions of dollars.

The number of its men who have performed great acts of courage, never advertised, is untold. Heroism is all in the day's work with the coast guard. There is particular reason to be proud of the 140 year record. It is well worth commemorating, b-th as due recognition and as an The Fraulein. engasred for the stay here, pops in at breakfast each morning to curtesy and exclaim: "I wish you a most excellent apnetite."

FORWARD AND BACKWARD On the same day that announcement is made of the transfer of another important aircraft concern from the west to Detroit comes a report of the failure of all but one cf the members of the state aeronautical commission to attend a meeting called by the governor in Lansing.

The two developments are going in opposite directions, the one forward and the other backward. The reason for members of the commission failing to meet, except for the governor and Claude S. Carney of Kalamazoo, is not known, but mr.kes little difference so far as the effect on the state's opportunities to capitalize on a unique position in aviation. Those opportunities are immensely valuable. The aircraft ln-oustry is now in the beginning and now establishing its centers.

The various concerns which sprouted over the country with the adaption of the airplane to civilian purposes, are being brought together for economy and convenience. Because of the automobile industry Michigan is a logical center for "the aircraft industry. The transports tion facilities needed are already in operation here, the connections with sources of materials sre made and the sites for factories are waiting.
