The Abbe Moreaux, looking through his telescope In Bourges observa tory, says, "Beware of 193(5 and 1937." Sun spots will increase vio lently in those two years, accord ing to the abbe, and when sun spots increase "we have wars and social disruption." On the other hand, according to the reverend observer, when the sun is calm, "the world usually has been ut peace." Others believe that "spots" caus ing war, international and individ ual hatreds, are not sun spots, but spots on the human brain. Many "spots" will have to be re moved from the human brain be fore war can end. Indiana is investigating two offi cials connected with the prison from which the late Mr. Dilllnger es caped, supposed to have frightened hlB jailers with a toy pistol. New evidence Indicates that, In stead of frightening somebody with a wooden pistol, he bribed some body with good real money. Half the success and Immunity of the usually dull-minded crim inal is based on the corruption of public officials, and criminal law yers ready to accept criminal money. The New York Times quotes “one of the most distinguished of all Brit ish diplomats" as follows: “Anglo American relations have never been in such a grave condition since the war." There Is talk of Japan having a navy as big as England or America, with England's consent, England building 70 cruisers, etc. Some Americans would like to know why Uncle Sam does not say to Japan and England: "Build what ships and make what new secret treaties you d—n please. We shall do as we please." We have had-In America men that would send such a message to any group of treacher ous “friends.” Rome reports that Mussolini, de termined to make Italy a really mil itant country, ready to fight any body at the drop of any hat, plans a “New Italy” with the motto, “Back to the glory of the Caesars, A revival of Sparta.” All right about the Caesars, but Sparta did not work out well. Where is Sparta now? Where Is the ancient glory? Fighting will be done hereafter by scientists, chemists with poison ous and explosive gases; engineers with fast planes, deadly air* torpe does. Fighting will be In the air and under water. No need to make a whole nation parade and drill. An oasis of cheerfulness in this world of gloom is Leonid M. Tolo konski, Russian consul general In New York. Many things make him happy. Including the fact that Rus sia can produce everything she Deeds, "except bananas and coffee." She Is growing fine grapefruit now, can worry along without any ba nanas and drink tea, instead of cof fee, as she always has done. Rus sian colTee never was very good, anyhow’. The late Australian general, Sir John Monash, described In Lloyd George's memoirs as the “only gen eral on the British side who could have successfully replaced the late Field Marshal Karl Haig as com mander in chief of the British forces,” was of Jewish descent. Fighting ability In that race sur prises nobody, for some of the greatest lighters In history. Includ ing Hannibal and bis father, were of the Semitic race. A well-known actor, Ixm Telle gen, who used to play “perfect lover’’ parts, and married four ladles, Including Geraldine Farrar, lost his popularity and has killed himself after telling his friends “there Is no place In Hollywood for a has-been.” There Is no place anywhere for a has-been, but, fortunately, there Is no need to remain a has-been for ever. Sun Francisco rejoices In comple tion, after twenty years of work, of the great Hetch Hetchy project, a $100,000,000 undertaking that brings pure water 150 miles from the high Sierras In Yosemite Na tlonal park.

Veterans demand their bonus now, without ahllly shallylng or tergiver sation. It Is said that the President “will oppose with all his strength any effort In congress to pay the bonus now.” Veterans need the money now while times are hard and their chil dren are young. * Kiss r- luru Sradlawls, Is*. WTTU Mr Save Wire» From Bird* South Carolina woodpeckers played havoc with the exposed por tlon of soft wire In a number of the fuses formerly used.

Longevity Secret Now field to Be Moderation Ten thousand Japanese more than eighty years old recently told how they live, and their stories agree with the general direction surveyed for the several, still dimly understood, scientific roads to longevity. These roads are diet, heredity, rest and mental poise. All seem to be converging toward the common goal of moderation. On the diet there are two recent significant surveys Indicating how man may soon learn to prolong Ills life. The latest, by Dr. C. M. Me Cay. of the Cornell university ani mal nutrition laboratory, challenged the present practice of feeding both animals and children enough to pro duce maximum size In the shortest time. In his colony of rats Doctor Mo ray has some already twice normal rat ages, and still going, with the oldest equal to 110 years of human life. The lives of these animals were doubled by Just one thing—feeding them less than enough to let them grow as fast as nature would permit. The other survey shows diet ap plied in a manner more nearly fitting humans’ desires This was made by Dr. Henry C. Sherman, of Columbia university, whose experiments led Him to predict that the average life span can he prolonged ten years In the near future by choice of diet. No nation yet Inis ventured to ai> ply the known laws of heredity that result In longer life, llut the Japa nese study suggests this type of her edity is somehow mingled with mod eration; that those who Inherit their longevity come from families neither very small nor extra large, accord ing to the Associated Press. Living in cities, a tabulation of the 10,000 reports shows, decreases the life span. Aged women are more numerous thnn aged men. Seaside villages were the most numerous among the habitats of the long-lived Japanese. All villages exceeded nil towns for long-lived Inhabitants and the towns were ahead of the cities. This study was made by Doctor Nakayama. a school hygienist. To him the 10,000 reported on climate, circumstances and manner of living, hygiene, tastes and family records. The majority of those who report ed were agricultural workers. Most were of medium build, hut some were corpulent and a few slender. They now go to bed early and rise late. They generally have led quiet lives. Many Women Doctors In Philadelphia there are upward of 120 practicing women physicians. Women doctors are represented on the faculties of several of the larg est hospitals; women technicians are doing most of the routine and even Home of the highly specialized work in laboratories and research institutes. Skin Torment Itching,roughness, crackins^.easily relieved and improved with _ soothing- _ Resmol i If you tire easily why not reason out the cause of this unnatural condition? Your first thought may he, “T must eat more." That’s not alL You should enjoy what you do eat. Fre quently, the blood cells are low... and this, perhaps, is what makes you feel weak. If this is your trou ble the stomach may not be calling for sufficient food. Zest to eat may be lacking. But what a difference S.S.S. makes when taken just before meals. Just try it and notice how your appetite and digestion improve. S.S.S. stimulates the flow of gas tric juices and also supplies the precious mineral elements so neces sary in blood-cell and hemo-glo-bin up-building. Do try it.

You have a right to insist that S.S.S. be supplied you on request. Its long years of preference is your guarantee of satisfaction. the world’s great blood medicine ASK THE MOTHER who has made this change The average mother gives any laxative the family may be using, while family doctors give children a liquid laxative of suitable ingredients, suitable strength, and in suitable amount. If you want to know just what a tremendous difference this means to any youngster, just inquire of any mother who has tried it I She knows that a bilious boy or girl needs a gentle liquid laxative when constipated, and a little less if dose is repeated until bow'els seem to be moving regularly and thoroughly without need of help. Use a liquid laxative containing senna (a natural laxative). California Syrup of Figs has the right amount for children’s use, and this rich, fruity syrup docs not harm or upset a child's system. Get a bottle of the real California Syrup of Figs at any druggist’s. All children like its agreeable taste, and it agrees with them. No need to give a child anything stronger. This fruity syrup is laxative enough; indeed, many adults use it in preference to pills and tablets. THE "LIQUID TEST." First: select a liquid laxative of the proper strength for children. Second: give the dose suited to the child’s age. Third: reduce the dose, until the bowels are moving without any help. An ideal laxative for this purpose is the pure California Syrup of Figs, but be sure the word “California” is on the bottle.
