Schwab Still Smiles Steam Turbine Planes Will this troubled world ever ?n1rn down, supply work to those Arthur Hrlwhnnr willing to work and live hap pily, and enable superior ability to show what It can do? Spain, waking from long leth argy, Is swept by riots, jails stormed and set nflre. Rioting and rebellion in South Amer ica; will our friendly feeling compel us to at tempt straight enlng that out? Rioting in Paris and sabotage on English men-o’ war. Nations tight, classes tight, labor unions tight, and even men of the same religion fight. Washington wonders what TVA will do with the Supreme court letting government enter the busi ness of producing and selling power. Some suggest putting power on every farm, regardless of distance or cost, as rural mall delivery is put on every farm. If every home Is entitled to gov ernment mull delivery, every farm should be entitled to government power delivery on the same basis. That would mean business for cop per companies, more running water In cow barns, more irrigated garden patches, more electric Mght after sundown In chicken coops. Charles M. Schwab, seventy-four, still specializes in optimism, like the man who went to the race track, lost every cent, but escaped death In the railroad wreck. Mr. Schwab says labor conditions are the best in 3d years. He should know; he began as a laborer and did not get $3, or $3, or $2 a day. Industry he calls a "three-legged stool." Cap ital, labor, management are the three legs. I’ut Charles M. Schwab back where he was 3(5 years ugo, the same us then, In age and energy, and he would soon be at the head of a great Industry. Who does not believe It does not know Schwab. Hitssiu, trying everything, experi ments with a steam-propelled tur bine plane for stratosphere (lights.

Two years ago William and George Bessler, in Los Angeles, built and (lew a plane with a steam engine. There Is still much to learn about flying. Dncle Sam, convinced that he Is his brother's keeper, after all, wants a peace agreement among all Ameri can republics. Beautiful. But if any republic de cides to fight, anyhow, it is to be hoped this country will not become arbitrator. "Judge not that ye be not Judged,” Is sound advice. We can no more decide the right and wrong of a row between Mus solini and England, or Chile and the Argentine, than we could be tween the two Kilkenny cuts. It Is pleasing to learn from George Washington university of a new and "refreshing" preparation that makes possible childbirth "dur ing sound sleep’’ without pain. More and better children, bigger population, is what the world needs with gradual elimination of the hopelessly inferior race by absorption, or voluntary extermina tion. _ Y I’oor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, waiting for the rainy season to ex pel the Italians, suddenly found his army of 80,000 driven hither and thither, and two other armies, un der two of his ablest ‘‘rases,’’ sent scattering into the jungle. ^ Seventy thousand* Itullans seizing a mountain fort that Ethiopia thought Impregnable started the Mussolini kind of “rainy season” with bombs from the sky. This time Mussolini used his own white Ital ian soldiers, not bis native troops from Eritrea. Chancellor Hitler announces: ‘‘We have solved the problem of produc ing synthetic gasoline and rubber.” How good are the synthetic fuel and rubber; how cheap? These things will come, for science in the material world cun do everything better than nature can do it. Fuel will be created, and Hying machines, too, as far above today’s product ns electric light is above whale oil, and the airplane above the ox-cart. New Jersey high schools will give courses in ‘‘safe automobile driving,” a good idea. All school boys should learn about automobiles and airplanes. C King Features Syndicate, inc. WNU Service.
