That is a difficult, question to answer, for knowledge of an island implies its previous discovery. There might be islands in the Arctic, or dotted about the oceans elsewhere which are too small to have been recorded and mapped if they were ever seen. Quite a few people would like to know of some pleasant secret isle with an ideal climate and vegetation well suited to human needs, where they could occasionally slip away from the troubled world and be out of the sound of dictators' ravings.

"Why. son, have you been asleep? Haven't you heard about Munich? Don't you know America must defend the western hemisphere from fascism?" "Do you believe Germany or Italy is going to attack South America, dad?" "Well, no, not directly. But we can't be sure and we have to be prepared.

Germany is said to have the strongest air force in Europe. And since Munich we are not sure just how much Britain can help." "But why do Britain and America help arm the fascist countries? I saw somewhere the other day that in 1936 and 1937 the United States sent $1,600,000 worth of war materials to Germany, most of it airplane engines. How many planes has Germany?" "There have been all kinds of estimates; General Goering was reported the other day to have said 3,600." "Why should America furnish engines for several hundreds of them and the license under which the motors for some of their best types were made?" "Well, son, you must remember the national munitions control board can't stop American companies shipping supplies to any country unless it is officially at war under the neutrality act." "But, dad, that seems a funny way to defend South America. If new American planes are to match the fascist air forces, why give Germany American wings?

That is one of the purposes of a newly formed committee of 50 men and women. Among its leaders are William Allen White of Kansas and George Gordon Battle of New York. Governors, senators, religious leaders of the Catholics, Protestant and Jewish faiths, publishers, educators and labor leaders are also in the group. The organization plans to fight intolerance by a "factual analysis of anti-Semitism" disseminated through forums and by radio and the press.

A fat, red-faced figure with an unprepossessing waddle and the appearance of an old-time alderman has recently become one of the key persons in President Roosevelt's inner circle. He is Joseph P.

People are inclined to underestimate Mr. Keenan when they first meet him.

Mr. Sabin said he had been receiving complaints about improper dancing and his announcement followed an informal conference with Police Commissioner Roberts on the subject.

Mr. Sabin stated that beginning with Saturday night dancers who patronize the pavilion are to remember that it is a place for respectable dancing pleasure and that improper dancing will henceforth not be tolerated. Hereafter dancers who overstep the lines ofpropriety will be warned immeditely and on the second offense they will be re-1 quested to leave the hall. If they refuse to cooperate the authorities will take care of the matter, it was said. On seeing certain people dancing in what they thought was the latest style but which proved to be painfully grotesque, the manager said he was prompted on certain occasions to bring a mirror on the floor to show the dancers how they really appeared.

WHY, THE CROOKS! It seems three turtles sat around a table one day drinking beer, when it started to rain. Said the biggest urtle to the smallest turtle: "Go home and get an umbrella." The smallest turtle replied: f'I won't go unless you promise not to drink my beer." The biggest turtle and the next biggest turtle faithfully promised. A year passed and the smallest turtle had not returned. Then another year and another. Finally on the third anniversary, the biggest turtle said: "I don't believe he's coming with that umbrella.

Suppose we drink his beer." At that moment the smallest turtle stepped from behind the door and said: "If you drink my beer, I won't go at all."

The changes are; merely slower, with nature taking maybe a million years an improvement the automobile gets in one year. With next year's cars already as much evo-luted as they will ever be, the designers are turning their attention to the 1940 cars. They may show more significant alterations than this 1939 crop. For example: There will be better illumination, not merely in volume but in quality and distribution. Indirect lighting may give a mild glow throughout the interior, and also over the exterior.

The purpose would be both useful and artistic. Headlamps may become smaller, using magnifying lenses to compensate. Such accessories as heaters and radios may be "absorbed within the body design," a process already begun. Thus streamlining, already very effective outside the car, will proceed inside. Both front and rear wheels may be entirely enclosed "to give a harmonious effect to body lines." Practical drivers may not like that so well; they usually want their wheels easy to get at in case of tire trouble.

Running boards, which have been shrinking for years, may soon vanish, with the doors reaching to the bottom of the body. The present types of radiator grills, some designers say, may disappear altogether, with air reaching the radiator from below. Some of the grills already are mere vestiges or gills.

There was a time and it was a comparative few short years ago when our game animals and birds seemed to be threatened with almost certain extinction and extinction there would have been had not public and private agencies rushed to the rescue with conservation measures designed to protect and insure propagation of wildlife. Ducks, by way of example, have come back in an amazing way.

"And in the current issue of the Journal of Forestry we read that big game animals, deer, bear, moose, mountain sheep and goats, have more than doubled in the national forests in the last 12 years. To quote: "When the first big game census was taken in 1924 there were less than 700 thousand animals. By 1930 the figure had grown to one million. Present estimates place the big game population at 1,700,000 animals. Deer have made the biggest increase and now total more than one million head." It is gratifying to observe that we are partly making up for the folly of our pioneer and post pioneer days, when we slaughtered game with the absurd notion that it was without a quantity limit.

A private check on the new senate has convinced the White House that Harry Hopkins is the political orphan of Capitol Hill. It appears to stymie F.D.R.'s secret plan to shift him from W.P.A. to the cabinet as the beginning of a buildup for 1940. Mr. Hopkins cannot be confirmed if the senators don't weaken under presidential pressure.

The latest poll shows that he could not roll up more than 39. votes, whereas at least 45 will be needed, 49 being an actual majority. Most of the senators like Harry personally, but he has the habit of rubbing them the wrong way. They also blame him for the purge now forgotten by everybody except its illustrious victims, Cabinet places most frequently mentioned for the W.P.A. chieftain are commerce and the postmaster generalship.

If you are afraid of his going out of sight of home, don't give him a vcelocipede; or if you do, don't let him out without escort. Riding un- der escort is not exactly a five-year-old's idea of fun. If the neighborhood is safe, let him go along with his crowd. If not, don't provide the means for his own hurt. But above all, remember that the nature of a small boy is to seek the companionship of other little boys and provide for it.

BUHL, Dee. 3 Dr. Harrison Dale, president of the University of Idaho, was guest speaker at the HISTORY ON THE SCREEN The de Lesseps family of France are said to be Indignant at the makers of the moving picture "Suez" and are contemplating taking legal action against them. It seems that their ancestor, Ferdinand de Lesseps, was not the 6ort of young man portrayed in the talkie.

In fact, he wasn't young when he built the Suez Canal and he wasn't a gay adventurer. Making him a romantic hero may be very annoying to the present generation of the de Lesseps family, but they should not be of-lended. Movie makers take liberties with everything, whether drama, novels or history. Bo do dramatists and song writers and the authors of historical romancesUsually all the public asks Is that the result be good entertainment. People who want historical facts these days know they can go to the library or to their own encyclopedias for them.

They go to the movies to be entertained, with little concern for accuracy. Unflattering pictures of anyone's forebears might as well be ignored. They will soon be forgotten by most spectators. OFFENSIVE PROPAGANDA For its own possible benef't Nazi Germany needs, as did imperial Germany in 1914, a director of propaganda who understands American habits of thought and is acquainted with the degree of their intelligence. An illustration of this was given late Saturday afternoon (Pacific time) when, over a short-wave beam directed at America, a speaker in Berlin, talking in English and obviously for American consumption, offered the fantastic discovery that the latest Father Coughlin radio episode transgressed America's vaunted freedom of speech.

Father Coughlin, who had talked over an American radio station in a manner the management thought would offend many listeners, had been required to submit in advance his manuscripts of future talks. The German interpretation of the address was that it upheld or condoned the anti-Jewish atrocities in Germany, although that is denied by Father Coughlin, and that, therefore, he was deprived freedom to express his opinions. Every person in America, whose intelligence is high enough to make his friendship of value to Nazi Germany, is aware that American broadcasting stations are private enterprises, not under government censorship. If a management does not approve of a program the management can reject it, whether the program be songs, instrumental music, drama or formal addresses. A speaker denied access to one radio station may try another station, or hire a hall, or print and distribute his ideas.

We have freedom of religion. But if a congregation engages a pastor whose opinions turn out to offend the faith of the congregation they do not have to listen to him, and are free to dismiss him. We also have freedom of the press. But an editor is not required to accept and publish everything offered for his columns. A people does not like to have its intelligence impugned.

For the Nazi commentator to give us the blah he did was even more offensive than if he had been talking about us to people of other nationalities less well informed on American liberties. Portland Oregonian. LONELY CHILDREN remember, I want you to stay in your own yard. Don't go outside it." "Can I ride my "If you promise to stay in front of your own house, and not go off the block, you can. But remember, you stay where I can see you." "Yess'm." Frankie was willing to promise anything if it meant he was free to ride on the sidewalk.

People passed along the walk and he could say, "Hello" to them and they could smile down at him and say, "Hello" back. That meant a great deal to Frankie who ws desolate without human companionship. Then, of course, Jimmy and Paul came out, and they had their wheels. "Hi, Frankie. Come on over." Frankie's wheels threw out sparks in their' speed to get there.

The three velocipedes made a fine train, too fine and speedy a train, and much too big, to stay on one little block. Quite without thought it made its way down the long avenue, two blocks, ten blocks, before it reached the station the traffic light at the head of Main street. Here the train was headed back toward the home depot. Mother looked out after a time, to make sure that Frankie was in front of the house. He wasn't in sight.

The street was bare of children for blocks. She hurried down to Jimmy's, house. No, Jimmy, wasn't home. Probably out with Paul and Frankie, his mother said calmly, The same word at Paul's house. No, he wasn't about.

Maybe down street with the other two. Mother was not only worried now, she was provoked to wrath by the coolness of the other two mothers. If they didn't care where their children were, she did, and she would see to it that Frankie stayed where she could see him if it was the last thing she did on earth. But she couldn't find Frankie. No, the officer at the traffic light had not seen any children cross his street and he would certainly have seen them had they tried to do so.

O. now that he thought of Buhl Rotary club's regular meeting Thursday noon. Dr. Dale had just returned from Idaho Falls where he inspected the state plant for the manufacture of alcohol from potatoes. He told the Rotarians much of the plan for the manufacture of alcohol from potatoes and stated if the experiment was successful, the state would in all probability establish more plants throughout the state as a means to use the large surplus as well as cull potatoes.

Dr. Dale also spoke on soil conservation as it applied to southern Idaho farms and gave some information as to an experimental plan now being carried on at the university for the manufacture of lumber from sawdust. George M. Llkness, superintendent of Buhl schools, introduced the speaker. Merlin Nefzeger was secretary in place of Leo Howard who was called to Oregon by the illness of his' mother.

Night Editor's good natured fun with Earle B. Williams, Jerome state traffic officer, over being involved in a collision here Friday, really put the jovial trooper on the spot, according to information reaching this desk. Fellow law enforcement officers and friends kidded him plenty about it. Although involved in the accident, Williams was in' the clear. He skidded, the wheels of his state car 21 feet and was at a complete stop when James Gassaway's machine struck the state vehicle.

Williams said one window had been broken in Gassaway's car and that a piece of cardboard, which covered the shattered pane, made visibility impossible. Melvern S. Wheeler, coach at Bell-evue high school and one of the best centers Jn the. Rocky Mountain conference when captain of Brigham Young university's football team, declared yesterday that woes in the mentoring racket are starting early this winter. He attended the high school athletic association meeting here yesterday and mapped schedules with other coaches.

The Bellevue coach said that two strange ailments are interrupting basketball practice for his team. Eye infection and mumps are keeping half his team from the court. Besides that, Wheeler remarked that he doesn't have enough wood piled up for this winter his first year in Idaho and the snow is getting deep, he added. Idaho's new state Grange master, E. T.

Taylor of Coeur d'Alene, has a genuine sense of humor. He kept delegates to the Idaho Cooperative Council session here laughing during a talk at the convention banquet-Friday night. He was telling about meeting Herbert Hoover when the ex-president was interviewing farmers on their ills. "I represented corn and beans," Taylor said. "And what are the problems of your industry," Hoover asked Taylor.

"Well, Mr. Hoover, we only have one problem." "One problem? Why all the farmers I've talked to seem to have dozens of problems." "There's only one thing that bothers us." "What is it?" "What the heck are we going to use for money?" was Taylor's perplexing query. Previous to Taylor's talk, R. E. Brown, general agent of the Spokane Bank of Cooperatives, had assured farmers that his organization had money to lend cooperative organizations.

"If I had known that Mr. Brown had solved the money problem, then I'd have told Mr. Hoover that we didn't have any troubles," Taylor declared. Taylor has a knack of being able to laugh at his own jokes along with the audience. The Grange master has a form perfectly adapted for a Santa Claus.

And when he laughs he shakes all over just like the rhyme about the bowl ol Jelly and Jolly old St. Nick, Mr. Patri has prepared a special booklet (NOi 301) entitled, "Obedience," In which he tells parents how to cope with the difficult problems of disobedience.

Breakfast Food FRIVOLOUS DIVORCES People nowadays marry frivolously, and also divorce frivolously, complains a judge who has had ample opportunity for observing. Many marry simply to test marriage, he Bays, and have from the first no intention, of continuing in that state unless they find that they like it. Such a frame of mind naturally results in a flood of divorce proceedings.

And people are growing so used to the Idea of ephemeral unions, he says, that often a partner "has No. 2 dangling on the line before proceeding to divorce No. 1."
