By ARTHUR BRISBANE (Copyright, 1934, by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) The death of James R. Weddell, a filer who held the world's record f6r flying, means a serious loss to this country. When only a boy Weddell bought an -old broken- dtiwn plane sold as junk, repaired flew to army headquarters'seek- ing a chance to fight and fly In Told, "You can't possibly fly, because you only one he replied, "Why can't do you suppose I got here?" i He was an airplane designer, of real genius, a skilful builder, as one, of the greatest pilots he His land plane rec- 306 miles an hour and when he died he was working on a machine with which he hoped to Win the London-to-Melbourne race next October. If nudist foolishness lasts long enough, and foolish nudists have money enough, Maurice Allard, who has made himself president of the "Nature's Recreative Association," Intends to take a hundred and sixty nudists to lovely Vanna Vanna island in the south seas. It will Cost, each nudist one thousand dollars to go there and, for the sake of peace, they must all be married and take their wives.

Being married and taking their wives along under nudist Conditions may not mean absolute peace. That remains to be seen. Once oh the island, Mr. Allard assures them, there will be no more expense. They will live on cocoanuts, mangoes, guavas, pineapples, breadfruit, turtles, crabs, shrimps, fish Tlje owner of' Vanna Vanna wishes to sell.

The nudists also will wish to sell after they have eaten crabs and coacoanuts for a while. Moscow newspapers accuse Japan of arousing hatred against Russia, mentioning an anti-Soviet film called, -'The'Supreme--Will," displayed In Japanese theatres picture shows Russian alr- attacking Toklo, and tnen- the fact that 100,000 Japanese killed in the Russo-Japanese war "have not been sufficiently avenged." The Important Russian newspaper "Pravda" says: "Japanese imperialism does not hesitate to use dirty methods to slander the Soviet tTnlon." jThat Is fighting language. 12-YEAR OLD OBJECTIVE OF BRIEF SEARCH ANNOUNCE MINOR CHANGE IN VALUATION Morris Stulberg Had Merely Agreed To Acquaint Man with City Streets City cmd county officers, and substantial portion of the population of the city of Marshall, were united In a search for what np- to be the kidnaper of Morris Stulberg, 12-year-old son ol Mr. and Mrs. Max Stulberg, at noon today, but the boy returned home shortly after 12:00 o'clock, safe and sound.

Morris, it developed, had merely accepted the offer of M. E. Alken of Battle Creek of 25 cents to acquaint the latter with the city streets, and had climbed Into the visitor's automobile with that purpose. Mr. Alken represented a Battle Creek collection agency, and brot the boy back to his parents home when he became sufficiently familiar with Marshall streets.

Playing With Friend The lad, according to Information received by sheriff's officers, was playing with a Harold Loweri of 411 west Green street, on the Orary schoolground, west Green street and Kalamazoo avenue, at 9:30 a. when the collection agent stopped at the street intersection, and made the offer of 25 cents to become acquainted with the streets.

The assessed valuation representing the totals of tjhe Varl- 1 ous boards of review, was $80,100,464, while the equalized valuation, fixed by the committee the board's approval, was Last year, at the June Session, the assessed valuation was deqlar- ed to be the equalization valuation, but eventually, at the October session, the state.and county taxes were apportioned on the basis of the 1932 assessed valua- which was $91,000. reduction, therefore, In 1934 equalized valuation, as compared to 1933, Is close to $10,000,000. The committee raised Marshall's assessed valuation figures from $3,313,200 as set by the local board of review, to $3,405.078.

Also, Japan cannot reasonably hope to conquer the Russia of today. The allied powers of Europe were not able to break down the Soviet government in its infancy The Japanese, a great people, can hardly believe themselves able to do what the European allies could not do. If wise, Russia will also refrain hfrom any steps precipitating war are doing well now, and at the end of a war they would! learn, as this foolish nation did after the big war, that it does not pay In China, big country with the biggest population, things are done In a big way. In Puklen province 'nine young Chinese girls from thirteen to nineteen, all suffering from unrequited love tied themselves together, jumped Into the river. All were drowned.

Under old Chinese customs of the nine might have been into the river as babies, as "surplus girls." The Rev. Dr. Searle, in New York's Madison avenue Presbyterian church, expressed the opinion that God must be brooding over the American people, whose dollar, engraved, "In God We Trust," are spent for battleships while thousands lack the necessities of life. Dr. Searle wondered what God thought of the world in which nations had spent 'sixty thousand "million do.llars on armament since the end of the World war.

Jj "What does God think of us?" an interesting question. Perhaps an accurate answer would be "He thinks as little of us as an intelligent man thinks of jmts fighting each pther in a garden path." It would be painful to think that the creator of the universe must worry about the individual foolishness of so many hundreds ol millions of beings, on so many thousands of millions of planets scattered in space.

To the confusion caused by the presentation of an "Informal British blR navy program, there was added today the news that and Franco will make the conversations the occasion for presentation of.demands of their own.

A United Press Tokyo dispatch said the Japanese government, apparently anxious over the way were Rolng, would rush to London a delegation of sufficient strength to deal with "substantial subjects. Sources which usually reflect the French admiralty view told the United Press in Paris that "Franco within the next? 4 few days 'will make "big navy" demandn that will rouse both Italy and Germany. It was added that the demands might be regarded as so large that Japan would protest on the ground that her ratio as compared with Franco and Italy would be endangered. The newr, that Japan Intended to send a strong delegation to LondoYi seemed to reflect concern over the British demands. France's plan to demand more ships was a reflection of Its anxiety over the possibility of German rearmament and a desire to protect' both its Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.

It was hinted that France would demand as much naval tonnage as Italy and Germany combined. Italy has shown no sign that It will accept lower ratio than France, oa France demands, and France Is In no mood to make further dlnarmament concessions on land or sea.
