Some Ladies’ Hats

12 Ladies Good and True
H. R. Ekins, first-class news
paper man, has gone around the
globe by air
... „, . romantic than
the Nelly B1 y
seventy-odd day trip that beat Jules
Verne’s “Around the World in
Eighty Days.” Nelly Bly, clever
newspaper woman, knew how to
make it interesting, going out of
her way to travel by elephant,
camel, jinrickshas, etc. Flying
around the world costs about $5,000.
Some day some woman, let us
hope, will balance her fashion
budget, decide just what she wants
to wear, and then wear it, as men
have done, but the day is far away.
These are some of the hats from
which your wife, daughter, sister
will choose this season:
Hats shaped like East Indian war
shields; hats heavy in gold em
broidery; flat pillbox turbans, gold
braided; Russian style hats off the
face, with tall tiara fronts; hats of
Persian lamb and embroidered felt;
small toques, dipped down front and
back, covered with soft feathers,
“the military touch predominat
ing.”
Why, do you suppose, do women
take so much trouble to spoil faces
and heads naturally beautiful? It
cannot all be the fault of hat
makers.
Gen. Smedley D. Butler, retired
fighting major general of the United
States marines, asks the Women’s
Christian Temperance union to
start a campaign against drunken
automobile drivers, and also help
peace by working for a constitu
tional amendment forbidding the
President or congress to send troops
out of the country.
You cannot change men by leg
islation, as was discovered in our
prohibition mistake; you must
change the men from the inside.
For the first time in history, New
Jersey, selecting a jury all women,
has surprised some, annoyed others.
Why? For ages women have been
judged and sentenced by individual
men or groups of men. They have
been ducked, branded with hot
irons, put in the stocks, beheaded,
hanged, burned alive.
Is there injustice in turning the
thing around for a change; at least
no twelve women would burn or
duck anybody.
Lloyd’s, British insurance con
cern, will insure you against any
thing happening, if it “guesses”
that it will not happen; it usually
guesses correctly. It refuses to in
sure against war striking England,
although until lately the charge for
that insurance was only one-fifth of
one per cent; 200 pounds for 100,000
pounds insurance.
Somebody in Lloyd’s possesses in
telligence. That big organization
does not like to think of war with
airplanes added.
News from the East interests Amer
icans: they might have to pay the
bill. Japan and Russia, supposed
recently to be on the verge of war,
are said to have an understanding
about things in the east that would
involve depriving the British of prof
itable locations and rights. This does
not please Britain, but that is the
business of Japan, Russia and Eng
land.
Interesting flying item: Russia or
ders in Baltimore a passenger “clip
per” plane, to cost $1,000,000 and
carry forty-four passengers, besides
a crew of six.
The plane, very fast, can go 4,000
miles without taking on fuel, a
range that would bring it across the
Atlantic nicely, if it ever wanted
to come back with a load of
explosives instead of passengers.
The Irish Catholic hierarchy, sit
ting at Maynooth College, Cardinal
Macrory presiding, denounces com
munism and persecution of the
Catholic church in Spain, “mindful
of Spain’s kindness to our ances
tors.” On October 25 all Catholic
churches in Ireland will take up
collections “for the relief of Spanish
Catholics.” Mexico, once as “Catho
lic” as Ireland or any nation, sends,
from its Chamber of Deputies, a
message of sympathy to the Spanish
government at Madrid.
England and France no longer
guarantee. any protection for Bel
gium in case of war, so the new
King, Leopold, says all alliances are
off, with France, England and
everybody else.

Dictator Stalin Foresees Another European War—Spanish
Rebels Nearing Madrid —Simpson Affair May;
Lead to King Edward’s Abdication.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
© Western Newspaper Union.
r UROPE’S SHuoSia. iccording to 1
seasoned observers, is settling
down to a fight to the finish be
tween Communism and Fascism,
f and the several na
i tions are lining up
MEBPWriii '<i&| accordingly. Josef
IS Stalin, Soviet dicta-
KiifiEiwfe M tor ’ is said to be
"rot 1 convinced that an
fSP • ' other great war is
| \ at hand and that
| Russia must act
f, promptly to take
i what he considers
ij™|| e A her proper part in
the conflict. The
Josef Stalin civil war in Spain
and the developments therefrom
are providing the fuel for starting
the fire. Russia repeats her accusa
tions against Germany and Italy
of giving aid to the Spanish rebels;
the Fascist governments deny the
charges and make countercharges
against Moscow; the Soviet govern
ment appears to be on the point of
quitting the committee for noninter
vention in Spain and sending war
munitions to the hard pressed radi
cal government at Madrid.
Dispatches from Moscow said
Stalin had been informed by his
military advisers that as few as 100
planes could settle the Spanish war
in favor of the government and
that Russia could send them almost
immediately. The Russians already
have sent five shiploads of food and
clothing to Spain, these supplies
having been bought by subscriptions
from Russian workers.
Should Stalin decide to come out
openly in aid of the leftist govern
ment of Spain, the Nazis and Fas
cists may be counted on to re
double their already existing cam
paign against Communism and
many nations would soon be in
volved in the quarrel, with possi
bilities that terrify thinking persons
the world over.
Klementi Voroshilov, Soviet com
missar for defense, didn’t allay the
alarm any when he said in a formal
statement:
“The Soviet Union is prepared to
meet the enemy anywhere he
chooses to taste the force of our
arms.
“We are ready with man-power,
equipment, training and resources.”
A Russian language paper print
ed in New York said the Soviet
press bureau in London had an
nounced that Stalin would come to
America after the November elec
tion, for medical treatment; that
he would visit President Roose
velt, and later would go to Mexico.
All of this was promptly denied of
ficially in Moscow and by the soviet
embassy in Washington.
CLOSER co-operation between
Germany and Italy in the fight
on Communism was assured by an
arrangement for “institutes” in Ber
lin and Rome for Italo-German
youth leadership, in which the Hit
ler Youth organization and Mussoli
ni’s Balilla, a Fascist youth body,
are to unite. Baldur von Schirach,
Nazi youth leader, so announced to
a great gathering in Berlin.
In the Berlin institute Italian
youth leaders will be educated in
conditions and achievements under
the Nazi state. In Romp, Nazi
youth leaders will learn what II
Duce’s Fascists have done for their
country. Neither institute will at
tempt to imitate the other, Schi
rach said.
General franco, head of the
Spanish insurgents, ordered the
immediate taking of Madrid and
each day the state of the defenders
of the capital became more desper
ate. The rebels closed in relent
lessly, making effective use of
bombing planes and armored tanks.
President Manuel Azana and
some of his cabinet ministers
slipped out of Madrid and appeared
in Barcelona. Ostensibly they were
making a tour of the loyalist fronts,
but tho general opinion was that
they had fled from the capital to v
make a “last stand” in Catalonia,
which province always is radical
Anyhow, Azana took over an office
in the Catalan parliament building
lor himself and his secretarial staff.
Senora Azana has quit Spain. She
appeared in Toulouse, France, and
departed for an unannounced des
tination.
JAMES COUZENS, independent
Republican senator from Mich
igan, died in a Detroit hospital after
a long illness and immediately
following an operation to relieve
uremic poisoning. He was sixty-four
years old.
Mr. Couzens was one of the
wealthiest men in congress, his
riches being a result of early as
sociation with Henry Ford in the
automobile business. He was twice
elected mayor of Detroit and was
appointed to the senate in 1922 to
fill out the unexpired term of Sen
ator Truman H. Newberry. As a
senator he frequently disregarded
party lines, and since the election
of President Roosevelt he had sup
ported many New Deal measures.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1936
Before the recent primary he an
nounced that, though a candidate
for renomination as a Republican,
he intended to support Mr. Roose
velt for re-election. This was an
act of political suicide, and he was
defeated by Wilber M. Brucker.
Senator Couzens was noted for his
great contributions to charity. The
chief of these was the gift of prob
ably $20,000,000 for the help of un
fortunate children. He established
the Children’s Fund of Michigan
with an endowment of $10,000,000.
D EACE within the ranks of the
A American Federation of Labor
has not yet been achieved, for the
executive council of that body ad
journed without settling the dispute
between the Green and Lewis fac
tions. The council will meet again
November 14 in Tampa, and two
days later the federation will open
its annual convention in that Florida
city. If there are developments
meanwhile, the council or federa
tion may discuss the quarrel, ac
cording to President Green. He
said: “The matter is temporarily
closed,” and added that so far as
he knew, no peace overtures had
been made by the CIO leaders. Mr.
Green declared the ten suspended
unions could not be admitted to the
convention.
V/T ERE scandal and gossip have
•‘■ v - l no proper place in this de
partment, but the “affaire Simp
son,” as the French would term it,
assumes world
King Edward V 111 of
mored in London so-
c j e ty circles that the
King Edward bachelor monarch
will abdicate in favor of his brother,
the Duke of York, and marry the
attractive woman who has shared
so much of his time in recent
months. In support of this rumor
is the reported fact that plans are
being made for renting the farms
of the Sandringham estate in Nor
folk, which is the king’s private
property. Also, there is a story
that this estate may be sold to the
Aga Khan, the immensely wealthy
spiritual head of the Ismaili sect
of Mohammedanism.
Should Edward give up the throne,
it would eventually be occupied by
Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter
of the Duke of York, and this suc
cession would be decidedly popular
with the people of England. The
abdicating king might revert to the
dukedom of Cornwall, which pro
vides a net income of about $350,000.
There is nothing in British law to
prevent the king from marrying
whomsoever he pleases, but no ruler
of the country since Henry VIII has
wedded a commoner. Court gossip
in London says that Prime Minister
Baldwin and the archbishop of Can
terbury recently appealed to Ed
ward for greater discretion in his
relations with Mrs. Simpson and
were hotly rebuffed by the king.
English newspapers imposed on
themselves a voluntary censorship
in this affair, but it has been broken
by the Sunday Referee which prints
an article declaring the king “may
marry by spring,” that this would
result in postponement of the coro
nation, and that tradesmen have
been insuring themselves against
such a delay.
D ERSONAL reports of Presiden-
L tial and vice presidential candi
dates, made public by the senate
campaign expenditures committee,
show that President Roosevelt gave
a SSOO contribution to the Demo
cratic county committee of Dutchess
county, New York, his home, and
had spent $lO for postage. Vice
President John N. Garner reported
that he had received no contribu
tions and made no expenditures.
The Republican candidates, Gov.
Alf M. Landon and Col. Frank Knox,
reported they had had no personal
receipts nor expenditures since
nomination, their campaigns being
financed by the Republican national
committee.
In getting the nomination Landon
received $163,480 and spent $164,572.
Knox reported personally receiving
$35,754 and spending $35,557 before
nomination, and the Knox for Presi
dent committee received $133,818
and spent $143,259.
Norman Thomas, Socialist can
didate, reported his party had col
lected $5,614 and spent $6,504 to
date.
John Zahn, National Greenback
party candidate, reported he had
received $1 and spent $2.50 toward
his election.
At the same time the American
Liberty league, nonpartisan, volun
tarily submitted a financial report.
The report showed that the organ
ization had received $419,282 since
January 1, and spent $461,851.
PROF. JEROME DAVIS of the
Yale divinity school, nationally
known liberal, is being dropped
from the Yale university faculty,
and charges that this is because of
his “economic opinions.” President
Angell denies this, asserting that
the budgetary situation was the sole
reason for allowing Davis’ contract
to lapse. “No abridgement of aca
demic freedom or liberty of speech
is involved in this case,” said An
gell.
Davis is president of the Ameri
can Federation of Teachers, chair
man of the National Religion and
Labor foundation and president of
the Eastern Sociological conference.
He said he thought it likely that
the teachers’ federation would take
some action in his case.
REAT BRITAIN is determined
to keep out of the Communist-
Fascist conflict if possible. Sir Os
wald Mosley and his black-shirted
Fascist followers ,
have been trying to F jHHKSSSm
stir up trouble in
England and in con
sequence the cabinet S''
decided to put a ban
on all political uni- M is/-;'
forms. It was ex- |
pected that when f
parliament reassem- l A
bled the government |
would announce Lia ' ) fr \ .
drastic action to _. ~ u
suppress the Mosley $ 1 M
organization or at
least to put a stop to its demon
strations and parades in Leeds,
Manchester and the east end of Lon
don, where these Fascists like to
create ugly feeling against Jews.
The public demand in England
for action against the Fascists has
been strengthened by the revelation
that Mosley takes his advice from
Berlin and Rome. It is reported,
and widely believed, that Mosley’s
tactics of deliberately leading his
Blackshirts into Jewish communi
ties are based on advice given him
by Paul Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s
propaganda minister.
A N AFTERMATH of the Lind
bergh kidnaping case is the
indictment of Ellis H. Parker, chief
of detectives of Burlington county,
N. J.; his son and three other men
by a federal grand jury at Newark,
N. J. The indictment charges the
defendants took possession of Paul
H. Wendel in New York, forced him
to confess that he kidnaped Charles
A. Lindbergh, Jr., and held him in
New Jersey while revisions were
made in the confessions as the older
Parker ordered.
The government charges the de
fendants hoped to reap “large re
wards and sums of money” by pub
lishing the “true story” of the faked
solution of the celebrated case.
TT WAS announced at the White
* House that President Roosevelt
had written to heads of 100 schools
and colleges throughout the country
asking the educators to determine
whether courses at engineering
schools are so “balanced” as to
give students the necessary “vision
and flexibile technical capacity.”
The “impact” of science on hu
man life produces social disloca
tions as well as advances in pro
ductive power, he held. He men
tioned “unemployment, bankrupt
cies and relief.” The engineer, he
said, has a responsibility to help
design “mechanisms to absorb tho
shocks of the impact of science.”
C'OR some time there have ap
* peared in print stories about
how Japan was establishing air and
submarine bases in the former Ger
man islands of the South Pacific
over which she holds a League of
Nations mandate. It has been ex
pected that the league’s mandate
commission would investigate these
reports, and now Japan seeks to
forestall such action by a formal
report to the league in which she
asserts she has “no fortifications,
military or naval bases” in those
islands. The Tokio government says
it is scrupulously observing that
part of the mandate which forbids
the use of the islands for military
purposes.
Following establishment of a
south seas bureau in April, 1932, all
Japanese armed forces and men of
war have been withdrawn gradually
from the islands, the report says,
adding that the natives of the is
lands never have been subjected
to military training.
CHARGES filed in Washington by
the federal trade commission
accuse five trade associations of at
tempting to corner the automobile
parts and accessories business. The
groups, which were ordered to show
cause why they should not be com
pelled to cease their alleged com
bine, are the National Standard
Parts association, Detroit; the Mo
tor and Equipment Wholesale as
sociation, Chicago; the Automotive
Trade associations of Greater Kan
sas City, Mo.; Mississippi Valley
Automotive Jobbers association and
the Southwestern Jobbers associa
tion. Their officials also are de
fendants in the suit.
GMGHTEEN men and one woman
•A perished in the waters of Lake
Erie when the Canadian ship Sand
Merchant foundered off Cleveland
during a gale. Seven men, includ
ing the captain, were picked up
after clinging to life boats for eleven
houis.
Northern Italy was shaken by
earthquake shocks that were felt
as far away as Jugoslavia and Aus
tria. Twenty persons were killed
by tumbling walls, and thirty others
were injured.

Lesson for November 8
THE CHRISTIAN WARFARE
LESSON TEXT Acts 19:8-12. 18-20;
Ephesians 6:13-20.
GOLDEN TEXT—Be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might. Eph. 6:10.
PRIMARY TOPIC—When Paul Preached
in a Schoolhouse.
JUNIOR TOPIC—In a Schoolhouse in
Ephesus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
—Weapons of the Christian Soldier.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—The Gospel Facing the Forces of Evil.
War, war! The whole world is
war-conscious in our day. Nations
are watching one another with sus
picion, and in the meantime arming
themselves for conflict. Hatred and
suspicion are rife, and as long as
sin rules the hearts of men we long
in vain for peace, which cannot
come until that day when the Prince
of Peace himself shall reign.
Yet every Christian hopes and
works for the peaceful solution of
the nations’ problems. l Right
thinking men do not want war be
tween the peoples of the earth. But
there is one warfare that we do
seek to foster and promote. We
encourage it, and as Christians
make a holy resolve to battle to
the end. That is the warfare against
Satan and his hosts. As long as he
rules in the hearts of men, and sin
and wickedness are here, we say,
“Fight on, my soul.”
Christian life and service are pre
sented in Scripture as a fight, and
we do well to learn the methods
and the weapons of this great spirit
ual conflict, not stressing a belliger
ent note of strife against one an
other, and particularly not between
the divisions of God’s army in the
earth, but standing . shoulder to
shoulder in the battle against the
Evil One.
Our lesson presents a picture of
I. The Lord’s Warrior (Acts 19:-
8-12).
Paul, who is now on his third
missionary journey, comes again to
Ephesus, the leading city of Asia
Minor, and the center of the worship
of the heathen goddess, Diana.
He tarries there for about three
years.
Like a good tactician he began
his campaign at a strategic point,
the synagogue. He brought forward
his God-given weapons, “reasoning
and persuading.” Some he won,
others disbelieved the sad fact
which even this greatest of all
preachers had to meet.
God attested his work by mira
cles. The soldier of the Lord does
not go into battle alone. Nor does
he fight in his own power. God
gave him
11. A Mighty Conquest (w. 18-
20).
When a man’s profession of faith
in Christ carries with it an open
forsaking of his confessed misdeeds
—a true change of life as well as
a declaration of belief —there has
been real dealing with God.
Notice, that they burned the bad
books found in their homes, even
though they were valued at thou
sands of dollars. Christian, how
many books or magazines are there
in your home now that minister
only to the lowest in your nature?
Oh, yes, they may be “literature,”
they may be in beautiful bindings;
you may even read them “in the
original,” and regard the reading
as cultural. But if they are bad
books, are you ready to follow the
Ephesians in destroying them?
Finally we have from Paul’s let
ter to the Ephesians the glorious
presentation of the Christian’s
111. God-Given Weapons (Eph.
6:13-20).
This is a familiar, but none the
less rich and instructive, passage.
We have space to note only that
there are (1) five weapons of de
fense; namely, the girdle of truth,
the breastplate of righteousness, the
shoes of peace, the shield of faith,
and the helmet of salvation, and
(2) one mighty weapon of offense,
the sword of the Spirit—the Word
of God. A glorious and im
penetrable armor and equipment for
battle!
But it will do us not the slightest
good unless we obey Paul’s ad
monition and put it on.
Christian, are you wearing and
using “the whole armor of God”?
Judging From Appearance
, Men in general judge more from
appearance than from reality. All
men have eyes, but few have the
gift of penetration.—Macchiavelli.
God’s Way
The strength and the happiness of
a man consists in finding out the
way in which God is going, and go
ing in that way, too.
Acts That Bring Results
No act falls fruitless; none can
tell how vast its power may be;
nor what results, enfolded, dwell
within it silently.—Bulwer.
A Friend Indeed
Keep close to thy Best Friend,
and He will refresh and cheer thee.
—Spurgeon.
God’s Holiness
We must not only bless God for
all his benefits: we must rejoice in
his holiness.—Mclntyre.
What Luck the Lady
Did Not Have Quinsy
It was the evening of an inter
esting family event, and the mas
ter of the house, who hoped it
would be a son, had been pacing
the floor, anxiously awaiting the
doctor. When the physician en
tered the room the father seized
him by the arm and demanded:
“Is it a boy or a girl?”
“Tr-tr-tr ” gasped the doc
tor, who stuttered rather badly.
“Triplets!” ,
“Qu-qu-qu ” stammered the
doctor.
“Quadruplets! Man alive! What
is it you say!”
“No-n-no. Tr-tr-try to take it
qu-qu-quietly. It’s a gi fhe
Figuring Age of the Sea
Scientists use salt to figure out
the age of the sea by calculating
how much salt is carried down each
year by rivers and dividing this into
the total amount of salt in the
oceans.
Fever, Cure for Diseases
“Give me the power to produce
fever and I will cure all disease,”
said Hippocrates, the Father of
Medicine, 2,300 years before the in
vention of fever machines.
William, Mary College Hall
The main hall of William and
Mary College, of Williamsburg, Va.,
was designed by Sir Christopher
Wren, architect of London’s St.
Paul’s Cathedral.
Franklin’s Magic Square
Benjamin Franklin, in a single
evening, worked out a magic square
with 256 numbers that added up to
the same totals in all directions.
Birds Remove Shells
Most birds carefully remove
shells, either by eating them or
carrying some distance from nest.
Ozark
Ozark is said to be a corruption
of the Freach aux arcs, with bows,
descriptive of the inhabitants.
Rode Best Horses
Hannibal rode the best horses,
carried the finest weapons but
dressed very simply.
Naming Bronx, N. Y.
Bronx and Bronx county, New
York, were named for Jonas or
Jacob Bronck, an early settler.
Country Without Seaport
Bolivia is the only country In
South America without a seaport.
Navy in War Department
Before 1798 the U. S. Navy was
directed by the War department.
Highest Volcano
The nighest volcano in the world
is Mt. Cotopaxi, Ecuador.
