Thus equipped, he can retire to his cool bench-study, not far from the mouth of an air-cooling device. He removes his faded straw hat. revealing snow-white hair; his mustache is similarly whitened.

The virile Britisher is much impressed. A group of 5,000 hearH him speak in Trade Union House, Moscow; heard him exclaim that if Russia made a success of the Soviet plan, the western world would be ready to copy it. Shaw, super-critic of America and keen analyst of British conditions, is probably basing his predictions on his own Socialistic leanings, not at all popular even in England. Superconfident, he exclaimed to the Soviets; "It is for you to carry out your lead to an absolutely triumphal conclusion which will make it impossible for other countries not to follow you." The British philosopher hints that the Russian program is superior to the class distinctions and NOW!

Another morning there were 23 pigeons, by actual count, sunning themselves about the fountain following their dip. If the pigeons are bent on monopolizing the fountain, it is all right with me. a a A ever-blooming rose, developed by Henry F. Bosenberg, of New Brunswick, N. it was announced in Washington, has won the first plant patent granted by the United States Patent Office under the new law providing such protection.

The patent was asigned to Louis C. Schubert, proprietor of the Somerset Rose Nursery during the morning and starts addressing any elderly person within his range. Having spent the morning doing nothing, he is now equipped to discuss the German moratorium and the Reich; the reason for 25-cent wheat and the next Democratic nominee. When no one else will listen he talks to himself. After a time he mooches 10 cents and fares forth in search of coffee and sinkers.

Then he disappears until the following morning. a I BELIEVE every town has at least one variation on "the duke." If he happens to be at all different, it's because he selects the continuously hectic Long Island waiting room for his study. When I was a lad there were just such fellows perched on trucks at the small town depot in Michigan. They would read the country weekly and somehow manage to ferret out bits of the Detroit papers from the waiting rooms and baggage, cars. By the time the 10:59 came in, they would be ail stocked up on the affairs of the world.

If he meets counter-criticism, he can retire behind an impenetrable veil of self-complacency. "When we left England we were told there was neither food nor other necessities in Russia. So we brought provisions, bedding, pillows and even tents. After we crossed the Russian border," he said, "we found these to be unnecessary and so, at each station, we began throwing our provisions out the window." Waiting Soviet hands undoubtedly claimed them. Meanwhile, Shaw surveys the Soviet, philosophizes, entertains, naps, travels in state enjoying privileges of a peer.

THAT; the question of a probable the near future, those Franklinites A CANAL WORTH BUILDING The party of United States army engineers which has been in charge of the mapping and survey work of the proposed canal through the jungles of Nicaragua has returned to this country. They are pleased to be assigned to the comparatively easy task for a few weeks of mapping New York City and environs. Twenty-four months were passed in the.insect-. infested swamps of entangled undergrowth, facing all manner of peril and discomfort.

But the job js done, and the work is ready for the study of Congress or die War Department. Sentiment in favor of the.Nicaraguan canal continues to grow. It would traverse Lake Nicaragua for a distance of 70 miles, and there would be an almost inexhaustible water supply; in fact, Lieut. Col. Dan I.

Sultan, Army Engineer Corps chief, in charge of the two-year survey, feels it would possess many desirable features the Panama Canal could never hope to have. The route is well south of the "quake peril" zone of Nicaragua. It would require five years to pass the enabling legislation and negotiate necessary treaties; and 10 years for actual work of construction, Col. Sultan estimates. Where one slide could put the Panama Canal out of service, there would be none of this danger on the new route.

In addition, it would provide a more natural linking of the two oceans. So with one job well done, Col. Sultan, by way diversion and department order, will soon turn attention to the study of the St. Lawrence waterway project another plan which well merits American attention and challenges achievement. a YOU need not tell me because I know; if not about your Billy and your Betty, at least about hundreds of others, and if your own are model they are the exceptions that prove the rule.

Billy has to be reminded every Thursday that the lawn needs a shave. If the weeds are not soon pulled out of the phlox bed. we shall soon have to use burdocks for a table decoration. Betty plays or reads or loafs until about 11, when a Sharp reminder drags her unwillingly upstairs where she yanks up sheets with her left hand regardless of wrinkles. Her dishwashing leaves room for improvement in the form of scum her cooking is a minus quantity she is the world's prize slacker.

Heigh, ho! Are we discouraged? I would say we are. We wish our complex on anybody who will listen to our tale of woe, and expect sympathy. Two lazy, good-for-nothing youngsters, that's what they and what on earth are we going to do about it? We don't tell their father however, because we know very well that he not only will land on them but he will blame us. Funny about this father business, by the way, the reason we don't tell him things half the time is that we hate to acknowledge failure. We try to save not only the children but ourselves.

If we get down to cases and do a bit of analyzing, masters may not look so bad. Betty and Billy are typical of all children in summer time. It is not deliberate laziness that ails them, but a natural inertia akin to tropical fever. It gets into the blood and others who have investments in the Lower Rio Grande Valley will read with interest the prediction that comes from Florida that grapefruit may find an increased outlet through Great Mark L. Hyde, refrigeration engineer at Tampa, after making a survey says England offers an immediate possibility for 50,000 boxes of grapefruit a month from November through February, and 100,000 boxes a month from March through August a total for next season of 800,000 boxes.

To this may be added 200,000 boxes for distribution to Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. England can be developed into a outlet in five years, Hyde says, Ta a a a HIS one is from John L.

A crisp tone that means business accompanied by a smile will go further than all the scolding in the -world if we want to get real results and not produce a resentment commensurate in volume to the work they do. Summer time is growing time; it is hot, steamy, lazy time. Why expect the children to show more energy now than they do at other more salubrious seasons of the year? We will simply have to learn to make allowances for the weather and permit everybody to do the best he can-including the children. If the house-beds have wrinkles and the flower-beds weeds, that is no sign that Billy and Betty won't be the world's most energetic people when they grow up. Perhaps we might look back and remember some summers ourselves, summers we'd like to have back all but the scoldings.

Ken nedy have bought new Ford THOSE CRUISER DEFECTS Modern warships are delicate mechanisms, prone to develop peculiarities that cannot be foreseen in advance and that are expensive to remedy once they appear. Naval authorities have discovered that eight of the new cruisers which are the pride of the U. S. navy have a tendency to roll in a heavy sea to such an extent that their gun crews cannot perform properly. Two cruisers the Pensacola and Northampton- have already gone to dry-dock for alteration? that are expected to stabilize them.

The other six will probably follow, if these alterations prove effective. Meanwhile, the navy would like to know why five of these cruisers have already cracked the stern posts, and why they show excessive vibration aft at high rates of speed. There is no more complicated mechanism afloat than a modern cruiser. When one develops "bugs," as the auto-makers put it, the admirals are in for a good deal of worry. John McC.
