AM INV1TATIOM "TO DRIVE MORE CARE FULLY AND TO GET AN BEAUTIFUL THAT VACATION MAN LEAPS FROM John Krezar, about 45 years old, who leaped from the ihlrd-story window of his home at 728 South Catherine street, Middletown. while despondent yesterday, was in a criti cal condition in the Harrisburg Hos pital today. A neighbor, Mrs. How ard Drayer, 72 Catherine street, found the man unconscious and with both his legs crushed.

Krezar is believed to have struck a fence in his plunge. Unable to raise the money due on a mortgage on his home and fearful that his home would be taken from him, Krezar is believed to have become despondent and to have attempted suicide. Krezar, who lived alone, had been unemployed for the last several months. Boy Badly Injured in Fall From Truck Here Falling from the rear of a truck as it rounded a corner at Cameron street and the approach to the State street memorial bridge, Lewis Er-kelens, 13, of 415 Kelker street, landed on his head and suffered a possible fracture of the skull yesterday afternoon.

By ARTHUR BRISBANE Copyright 1032 King Feature Syndicate, Ins. THE) EVENING NEW8 doss not r.ects-eitrlly endorse tbe opinions sxoressed In thle column. FRANCE will consult the United States concerning the reply that the French government should make to Germany's demand for the right to build up another great army. Let us hope this Government will reply about as follows: "The size of Germany's army is Germany's business and your business if you care to make it so. It is not the business of the United States.

Please settle your own quarrels among yourselves; we mixed in one ot your rows, unce is enough." YESTERDAY'S late news told of 300 Chinese bandits killed in Manchuria by Japanese regular troops. If Japan or China should ask our opinion concerning that incident in civilization's progress, we should again reply: "That is China's business, not ours." Many attempts are made to bring this country back to normal conditions. Minding our own business for a change might be a step in the right direction. VW ALTER C. TEAGLE, able citi-" zen, head of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, has, at the request of President Hoover, taken charge of the "Share-the-work movement." The idea is to divide such jobs, employment and salaries as exist among a larger number of workers, thus diminishing the number absolutely without employment or income.

Mr. Teagle, who has abandoned his own private undertakings in the public interest, hopes, on a reasonably satisfactory basis, to find work for at least 1,000,000 men and women, and that jobs ma-y possibly be provided for 2,000,000. While waiting for ancient prosperity, with jobs more numerous than workers to return, it is a good idea to make existing jobs useful to as many as possible. 70J repeat piously the text "I will praiae the Lord, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made," and ada "Almost too fearfully and wonderfully," when you read that the thyroid gland, on which human energy depends, secretes a product called "thyroxin" containing iodine. This iodine-bearing thyroxin, thrown into the blood stream by the thyroid gland regulates the amount and quality of sleep.

If your blood contains the right amount of thyroxin, you sleep well. If you have too much of that specially prepared iodine, you have insomnia. COME day science may find a way of controlling and coordinating our mysterious conglomeration of glands thyroid, adrenal, pituitary and the rest of them thus making possible conservation of energy to the age of 150, which should be the minimum. At present, health is a fearful muddle. If you haven't enough iodine in the blood goitre starts, and you may become a moron.

If you have too much iodine, you cannot sleep. The Greeks must have known something when they wrote above their temple door, "Nothing in Aristotle's "Not too much, not too little," is the world's wisest advice. When Ivan the Terrible made one of his trips in Russia, to Nijni-Novgorod for instance, where he murdered so many, butchering women, including nuns, in his process of making one single nation out of Russia, travel was slow. When Peter the Great, who Eu-ropeanized Russia by bringing in engineers, merchants and scientists from Western Europe, dragged from their grave, those that had plotted against him, he loaded their frightful corpses on sleds drawn by swine. That was slow transportation.

IF THEY lived today those ancient Czars would be amazed at Russia's speed. The Soviet government, described sometimes by our "best minds" as "utterly in-canable." has pstabHslioH as nnn miles of air routes. It would have taken Peter the Great many weeks to travel from Moscow to Irkutsk. A fast train could travel t.Vi rli. tance in five and one-half days.

modern Kussian officials make the journey, by airplane, in thirty-six hours. It should interest this Government to know that Russia is second only to the United States in air line mileage, and will probably soon surpass us. XTEW YORKCITY alone will A have a grand opera season in America this year. There will be none in Chicago, where Samuel Insull's generosity provided a magnificent opera house. Thanks to the radio, however, arrangements can be made for opera performances in one city onlv.

to SUDDlv the whnln Natlnn with good music INHERE is no doubt that Paul D. Cravath, chairman of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and others associated with him will be glad to arrange for complete operatic broadcasting. John D. Rockefeller, is known to be much interested in this educational public service. There could be imagined no stranger "dog in the manger" policy than confining to one small audience music that might delight millions outside.

Miss Walter was granted Phi Beta Kappa honors for her work at Vassar, and was employed by her alma mater as an assistant in the freshman orientation course. Miss Walter, Academy officials said, comes highly recommended by the authorities of the Manhasset Bay School, Port Washington, N.

and the Shady Hill Country Day School, Philadelphia, where she last taught prior to completing her M.A. course at the University of Pennsylvania last June. Miss Walter declares that she believes character habits and scholarship are of first consideration even with small children. She will introduce, however, in her work at the Academy, basic courses in art and some approved project work. "While progressive," she said, "I am persuaded that the wave of psuedo-progressive procedure with children is all fol-de-rol.

I still believe in reading, spelling and arithmetic. The multiplication table continues to be a necessary part of education." Miss Walter concluded with the statement: "The term 'progressive education' has been badly misused of late years, and this abuse has led to the disillusionment of many modern parents. Too many schools operating under the popular label have brought discredit on the movement by forgetting that, while properly directed, intelligent play has some part in a child's elementary education, the school cannot be given up wholly to amusement. The path of education from the beginning is strewn with discarded theories and practices designed to make the royal road to learning effortless. It can't be done.

"Progressive theory is the best sense, on the other hand, emphasizes the fact that creative thinking is at the basis of all education, and the sooner parents and teachers realize this the better it will be for the rising generation." AGREEMENT ON DAMAGES ORAL The reputed pledge of a former board of county commissioners to reimburse the Borough of Steeiton for damages in connection with the improvement of the Harrisburg-Middletown Highway a pledge which, a large measure, contributed to the break between Tom Nelley, Republican boss of Steeiton, and M. Harvey Taylor, president of the County commissioners and county Republican leader was an oral agreement, it was revealed for the first time yesterday. This revelation was made by County Treasurer J. Paul Rupp, Steeiton solicitor and Nelley lieutenant, when he filed in the local courts a second proceeding asking that Dauphin County be named co-defendant in a suit for damages filed against Steeiton by Melvin B. Cumbler and Effie H.

Stees, owners of proper ty along the improved highway. The action In line with Rupp's contention that the revocation of appointment of the first board of viewers named by the court and their reappointment necessitated a repetition of the entire procedure. Because the first board failed to advertise the time when it was to view property reputedly damaged in the improvement, their appointment was vacated by the court. The reappointed board then announced it will meet at the site of improvement on Wednesday. Rupp holds that the revocation of the appointment of viewers invalidated the first procedure.

County Solicitor Walter Sohn, who previously countered with a motion to strike off Rupp's action, because, he alleged, it was brought in the wrong court, contended that the revocation of the first viewers' board applies only to the order of court on the appointment of the first board of viewers and has no bearing on the rest of the procedure. The petition yesterday, in part, answers a question raised by County Solicitor Sohn, who sought to know whether the alleged agreement was oral or written and why it had not been filea. Evangelistic Meetings Will Open Tomorrow A two-week series of evangelistic meetings will open tomorrow evening at 7.45 o'clock at Jefferson and Radnor streets. John R. Patterson and Richard R.

WILL HOLD REUNION The annual reunion of the Oehrle, Earley and Early clan will be held on Sunday, September 11, at Bind-nagle's Church, three miles north of Palmyra, along the banks of Swatara creek. A monument to Johannes Oehrle. who aided in the construction of the Bindnagle Church in 1753, will be unveiled.

1 iTy A.JBI mi RETIRED P. WORKER IS 94 Retired twenty-six years ago by the Pennsylvania Railroad and active in Sunday School work, Iphraim N. Jones, of 504 Calder street a Civil War veteran, will observe his ninety-fourth birthday anniversary tomorrow. Mr. Jones was retired after serving the Pennsy for almost fifty years.

He has been teacher of a Sunday School class in the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal Church for half a century. Veteran Railroader Dies at Scranton By United Prett NEW HAVEN. Sept. 3. George B.

He was a native of Dunmore, and for the past twenty-five years a summer resident at Madison. He left a widow and "two daughters. Burial will be at Scranton. Approve Abandoning Frazer Train Service The Public Service Commission today approved the application of the Pennsylvania Railroad to discontinue passenger train service on its West Chester branch between West Chester and Frazer, and at the same time issued a certificate to the Pennsylvania Greyhound Transit Company for the operation of mo-torbus service between West Chester and Paoli.

PHONE 5252 Harrisburg's Most Widely Read and Used Classified Ad Directory Telephone Today 6252 1 73 The Hutton House bill, deducing the appropriation of the Greater Pennsylvania Council from $225,000 to $90,000 and virtually sounding its death knell in the economy program, today bore the signature of Governor Gifford Pinchot The Mansfield Senate bill which provided that tax claims shall bear interest from the date of filing was vetoed. The Greater Pennsylvania Council was created in the 1931 session of the Legislature to promote the economic, social, industrial, agricultural, civic and recreation welfare of the State. Governor Pinchot said the Mansfield measure would have had the effect of increasing tax penalties to 18 per cent, a year in third class cities and 12 per cent in other municipal sub-divisions. He said the bill would have imposed an interest charge of 6 per cent on all tax liens whereas under present laws the taxes are subject to specified penalties if not paid on time. Three other measures enacted by the last special session yet await the Governor's signature or veto.

Luzerne County commissioners, through County Solicitor R. L. Coughlin. have filed suits against former County Commissioners David M. Rosser and Leslie J.

Harrison and former County Controller Harry T. Butts and their- bondsmen, the American Surety Company, as a step toward collecting $30,000 on their bonds. Suit was not entered against Patrick Conway, former commissioner, on his bond, it having been reported that his bonding company was prepared to settle with the county. The three former commissioners are serving terms in the Luzerne County jail for conspiracy. Following their convictions two years ago the defendants were surcharged $506,814, it being alleged that the taxpayers lost this amount as a result of methods used by the officials in the performance of their duties.

Without announcing any decision on acceptance of the post as chief counsel in the Public Service Commission probe. Judge Robert S. Gawthrop yesterday sailed from England on the Europa. The Superior Court judge was picked by the Senate Investigating Committee at its meeting on Thursday and Chairman Rial cabled him in London asking him to serve. Members of the committee said they had not consulted with Judge Gawthrop in advance and did not know whether he will take the place.

Robert B. Vale, writing in the Philadelphia Record, makes the forecast that Vice-President Curtis will not open the Republican State Campaign at Fogelsville, near Allentown, on September 17, because Curtis is bone dry and the Republican followers of William S.

"It is interesting to note," states Paul B. Klugh, vice-president and general manager of the Zenith Radio Corporation, Chicago, "that some radio manufacturers have already anticipated moves that may be made in the future by the Federal Radio Commission." He says "Zenith receivers this year have a range from 540 to 1750 kilocycles, which gives 121 channels.

Last year our frequency band ranged from 550 to 1500 kilocycles, or ninety-five channels, which is all the channels that have been used heretofore. West Fairview Man Injured in Collision W. W.
