IN AVOIDING INTER.
NATIONAL CHAOS
AEW YORK, July 20 (TP).—The
president of Columbia University, Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, thinks the
United States can play a large part
In avoiding an international catas
trophe. Dr. Butler returned from
Europe last week and today the trus
tees of the Carnegie endowment to
International peace have his report
on what he thinks of international af
fairs.
Dr. Butler wants the United States
to call an economic and financial
parley for the nations of the world.
He conferred with ms nF government
leaders and financial experts abroad
and reports that all expressed a wish
for some sort of a get-to gether. Dr.
Butler said the credit of the world is
endangered and that the entire fi
nancial structure may collapse in
another year.
The noted professor would not
come out flat-footed and say that
war Is around the comer, he did say,
though, that If a war breaks out,
every great nation will be forced to
take part in it.

PARENTS WON’T ALLOW
GIRL TO HAVE “BEAUX”
SHE IS 17 AND FEELS HURT THAT DAD AND MOTHER
WON’T TRUST HER.
YOUTH NIP ELDERS
By VIRGINIA LEE
“Dear Virginia Lee: I am writing to
to you to tell me your opinion on
*hat I should do next. I am a high
school girl of 17, in my senior year.
I have many friends, among whom
are boys. I’ve gone around with a
few boys ‘steady’ as kids call it,
and then broken up. I had to sneak
out to go with them, which I hated.
I colud never invite them to my home.
My people simply won’t have me go
with them and I don’t know what to
do. I’ve had to bseak many dates
since schol was out, as my boy friend
comes down to the house now to
make dates.
“I hate to let them know aobut my
parents not letting me out, cause,
gee, it does sound silly, as if they
don’t trust me. They’re all very nice
boys, but my parents simply won’t
have it. They embarrass me when
Im with a boy. Sometimes I feel like
running away from home, but where
would I go o I’ve decided that when
I'm 18 and have a Job I’ll leave Is
t.:at wise. But what siiall ( do all
this summer and in my last year of
schol when I can’t keep any dates?
GLOOMY.”
I’m at my wits end to know what
to do wth such parents, Gloomy. I’ve
lately been deluged with letters from
girls all complaining of the fame
thing. Os course I have to admit
that occasionally a girl who is allow
ed to have boy friends when she is
in her teens does run away and mar
ry—and live to bitterly regret it. But
they do the same thing when they
are allowed even to speak to boys,
HINESVILLE NEWS
The people of Liberty county are
keenly interested in the race for state
representative of the county between
Paul E. Caswell, present member of
the legislature and W. C. Hodges,
former representative. Both men are
attorneys of Hinesville.
Mr. Caswell Is captain of the troop
B. Ga. Calvary. Judge Hodges served
two years as Judge of the county
court and sixteen years as Judge of
the city court. He also served as a
member of the board of education
prior to his Judgeship. July 25 is
closing date for entrants to qualify
as a candidate.

Liberty Independent Troop, 108th
Ga. Cavalry left here Saturday for
Camp Oglethorpe, Ga. for a two
weeks training session. The troop
is in command of Captain Paul E.
Caswell.

Information has been received that
the Oglethorpe Highway between Mc-
Intosh and Midw-ay in Liberty coun
ty, which has been in bad state of
repair for sometime Is. to be resur
faced soon. A spur through the bus

Bradwell Institute for the coming
year. She will succeed Mrs. R. 3.
and then they sneak out, as you are
doing, and the shock to their parents
is doubly hard, as it is utterly unex
pected.
I'm sure I don’t know, Gloomy,
how you can win your parents over
let you live a normal young girl’s
life, with friends of the opposite
sex and everything. You’re entitled
to it, and you would think your dad
and mother would have faith enough
in the way they have trained you to
know that you wouldn’t be likely to
do anything to disgrace them. I
can’t very well tell you to disobey
them and sneak out. It’s a demoraliz
ing thing to do, and yet you see I
can’t help having sympathy with you.
You have to consider that your par
ents are supporting you, providing
you with food, clothes, shelter and
education, so you owe them obedience.
Is there anyone outside your family,
someone with influence with your
people, who could tell them how you
feel if you cannot, and plead with
them to let you live a normal life? I
hope so. Good luck. Gloomy. Hope
you win out.

Broken Hearted and Puzzled: How
would you have felt if you had been
told that this boy you have been hav
ing such good times with was out
with another girl and had had his
arms about her?- I’ll bet you wouldn’t
have liked it a bit, and you probably
would have acted very much as your
boy friend has. Better write him a
letter and tell him you have been a
silly girl but you didn’t mean any
thing by it, and that you are sorry.

up.
Father Coughlin was quoted re
cently as offering to wager $2,500 that
Congressman William Lemke’s Union
party would carry Massachusetts in
the November election. The money,
according to the supposed offer, was
to go to charity. Maynard imme
diately accented the wager bv tele

Maynard announced today that he
had received a letter from Father

WAR AND FASCISM
FOES OF LEAGUE
HITS AT ANTI-LABOR CAM
PAIGN NOW UNDER
WAY IN U. S.
NEW YORK. July 20 (TP)—The
American league against war and
fascism opened a new drive today.
The campaign keynote is a four-page
leaflet called: “Fascism—what is it?”
This pamphlet begins by defining
fascism as that form of government
which doi.iinates Italy and Germany.
The league maintains this political
philosophy destroys democracy, abol
-shes representative government and
makes voting a farce.
Says the leaflet: “Fascism has a
habit of saying one thing and doing
another. It uses gangsterized mili
tarism. Its propaganda proclaims the
necessity for war for the glory of the
nation. Fascism is backed b' r big busi
ness which gets a generous return on
that investment.’’
The pamphlet warns that the seed
ling sprouts of fascism invariably
show themselves In red-baiting.
The league charges that an anti
labor campaign underway in America
forecasts a desire to substitute a busi
ness dictatorship for representative
government. The league further de
clares flatly that un-American prej
udices are being aroused against the
negro, the foreign-bom and the Jew
by groups which all themselves “Amer
ican.”
SPAIN IN REVOLT
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
The Madrid government maintains
that the revolt has been suppressed.
However, dispatches from Spanish
border cities indicate that the mon
archists are leading Spain into a great
civil war.
Rebels, sweeping down on the cap
ital of Madrid are driving hard-press
ed loyal government troops before
them. Cannons are booming, machine
guns are rattling and rifles are bark
ing throughout southern Spain as the
rebel hordes, apparently holding the
upper hand, steadily drive the govern
ment troops back.
Unofficial reports said that the left
ists’ army is on the verge of collanse.
Several divisions of the Spanish army
are known to have surrendered, lock,
stock and barrel to the rebels. The
fleet, apparently, is still loyal to the
government, but the socialist leaders
admitted that they could count on
their naval forces only as long as the
warships stayed outside the revolu
tion zone.
Americans Flee
Hundreds of Americans fled the
danger zones with first reports in
dicating that several United States
ctizens had been killed or wounded.
A Seattle newspaperman, Jay Allen,
was shot and wounded at Malaga.
A government announcement from
Madrid said that the leftist adminis
tration had completely crushed the
rebellious movements but the an
nouncement appeared too optimistic
to be accepted as a fact
Jose Giral Pereira became Spain’s
third Premier within two days.
The former Minister of the Navy
was named to his new post after the
sudden resignation of Diego Martinez
Barrios, successor to Santiago Cas
sares Quiroga. Barrios retained his
position as President of the Spanish
Parliament. Quiroga originally re
placed Socialist Premier Manuel
Azana.
Rebel leaders General Francisco
Franco broadcast a telegram from a
Seville radio station, stating that only
Madrid is offering opposition to the
revolutionary movement. General

1 HUNTING OUTLOOK
: GOOD SAYS CRAVEY
GAME AND FISH COMMIS
SIONER RETURNS FROM
SOUTH GEORGIA TOUR
ATLANTA. July 20—On returning
to Atlanta from a trip through South
Georgia, Commissioner Zack D. Cra
vey, of the Georgia Department of
Game and Fish reports very favorable
prospects for the coming hunting sea
son.
“In my visit to the coastal section
of Georgia. I round every indication
of an excellent marsh hen season, in
fact the prospects are even better
than last season when Georgia sports
ment were treated to a fine season
of marsh hen shooting. Every farmer
that I talked to said that his young
crop cf quail was fine. I personally
saw several large coveys of young
birds,” says Cravey.
The Commissioner attributed the
fine showing of quail to the fact that
farmers had planted more grain this
year than in past seasons.
Feed supply is a very important
thing to quail and in practically all
sections of Georgia the planting of
peas millet and lespedeza has been
noted.
In commenting on the deer and
turkey in the coastal counties, Cravey
states that the increase is hamnered
by the great toll of game killed by
illegal hunters.
“Fire or spot hunting at night Is
taking five times as many deer as
the legal sportsman kills. This is due
to our ineffective laws, which favor
the game bootlegger. I am going to
ask our next session of the General
Assembly to put teeth in this law,
which will put the burden of proof
on the violator caught In the deer
range after night with a flesh light
and shotgun loaded with buckshot,”
said the Commissioner.
Cravey spoke before the recently
organized Effingham County Sports
men’s League and assisted in the
organization of a Screven Sportsmens
organization at Sylvania.
Franco said that the entire city of
Tetuan, capital of Spanish Morocco,
is in control of his troops.
30 Thought Dead
Reports from government and rebel
headquarters concerning the number
of dead and wounded are drastically
contradictory. More than thirty per
sons are believed to have been killed
when government aviators bombed
the rebellious garrison at Tetuan.
General Franco and his army of 19.
000 are understood to be planning an
invasion of Ceuta, a province to the
west of Teutan. .
The mobilization of militia organiza
tions in Madrid is In full swing. Mil
itiamen are searching all automobiles
for arms and ammunition. Scores of
arrests already have been made.
Government radio reports to listen
ers in the Spanish capital are follow
ing each other in a steady stream.
The general theme to the people is
"Be calm. Th* government has every
thing under control. There will be
no trouble in Madrid.”
And so—while' incomplete and cen
sored reports of the revolt reach for
eign capitals—the world anxiously
waits and watches this latest uprising
in a country where insurgent action
has long been a political byword.
After Catherine the Great had one
of her lovers, Moris, decapitated, she
kept his head, preserved in alcohol in
a glass jar, in her bedroom.

ton fields increases the crop, by ab
sorbing more heat from the sun.

AVOID NEEDLESS FINESSE
Wh«n declarer's purpose can cer
tainly be accomplished without tak
ing any finesse he should not risk
the latter uncertain play. The de
clarer of today's hand assured game
by carefully counting certain tricks
and by avoiding a tempting appear
ing finesse, that might defeat him in
case it went wrong
In a recent duplicate game, my
partner dealt the South hand, and
made an opening bid of 1 No Trump,
with both sides vulnerable. I knew
that he never bid no trumps as deal
er without having at least 2 1-2 quick
tricks and four guarded suits, or
greater quiik trick strength in case
an unguardeds uit was held. Under
the circumstances I jumped the call
to 3 No Trumps, ending bidding.
The opening lead was the 7 of diar
monds t mark.ng East with two higher
cards of the suit. When two certain
stops are held to a suit it is best to
win eith-i the second and third tricks
or the first and third tr-cku. It may
cost game to win the first and sec
ond tricks, then to find that leader’s
partner holds a third card of th? suit
to return. East’s Q won the first
trick. The 8 of diamonds was re
turned, and declarer was in with his
Ace.
Declarer could with reasonable saf
ety count upon the following, tricks:
2 spade tricks, 2 heart tricks without
a finesse, 3 club tricks and his 2 dia
mond tricks, or . just sufficient for
game. If, my partner took a losing
finesse in hearts he would go down.
Declarer led his Q of clubs. East’s
Ace won. He led back his last dia
mond, that Dummy’s K took. My
partner ran off his fifth, sixth and
seventh tricks in clubs.
