Today l*1 God Told Her. England's New Fleet. Washington, in Butter. The Oldest Priest. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. --- J A Polish woman, in a fit of re ligious mania, cuts off the head of her sleeping employer with an ax, and tries to kill his wife and daugh ter. Taken to the police station, she explained that God ordered her to do the killing. That is not new. In old days maniacs of various religions used to butcher and burn alive selected victims, explaining that God desired the killing for His glory. In those days the people did not know enough to lock them up, they stood around and applauded. England now has 18 squadrons of fighting airplanes. The number will be raised to 52 squadrons. And the British have established a separate air force, independent of the army and navy and above both. Air Marshal Sir John Salmond will command the air force, the new fleet upon which the British empire will rely, as it used to rely on its floating ships. Here we have no squadrons, no separate air forces. We have a few inadequate, pitched up machines in which our men risk their lives every time they fly. Our air force is under ancient dodos of the army and navy, ruled by selfish interests seeking to conceal the fact that bat tleships are out of date.1* President Coolidge will change that. Somebody, called “Erndite,” has made an improved translation of the Bible, into modern English. The mess o.f pottage becomes a “red omelet,” "begat” is ' changed to “was the father of.” Archaeic words are left out. “God’s cove nant” becomes a "compact.” The new Bible will be as much like the real Bible as a butter statue of George Washington at a dairy show is like George Washing ton. The revised version was bad enough. This version is like rewrit ing Wagner’s Evening Star song into ragtime. Father John J. Roche, oldest Catholic priest in the world, is dead at Wexford, in Ireland, aged 100. Father Roche, who attended the funeral of Daniel O’Connell in 1847, has probably told O’Connell, by now, that the Irish have not lost their fighting power and that he, O’Connell, and the other brave men did not fight in vain. Henry Adelbert Somerset, duke of Beaufort, is dead. He probably spent time asking “what is Eng land coming to?” Especially after MacDonald reached power. What did his grace do, with his education, rank, money, thousands of acres, and seat in the house of lords, to make England better? He lived and died “master of the fox hounds.” Servants bred the 'rraaiMCOMW— !■ ' Mill — I I ■ — ' Apco Block COAL $9.00 & UPDIKE lcuoTle2c& WA Inut 0300 hounds. Tenants “walked the pup pies." Grooms broke, bitted, exer cised and cleaned the hunters. His Grace put on his pink coat, rode, and pretended to "hunt" his hounds, while the whips really managed them. That is a modern duke for you. And we have some imitations of them here. They won't last. Republican senators have voted "out of the republican party” Sena tors l,a Follette, Brookhart, Ladd and Frazier. They will not be ad mitted to*regular conferences or named to fill any committee vacan cies that may occur. That is all good advertising for the four ostracized. The synagogue in Holland ex communicated Spinoza with most terrible maledictions, declaring that his name must never again be men tioned by anybody. The big men of th‘» synagogue are remembered only because they igned that foolish, futile document. The four senators will be import*' ant in politics, when a majority of those that seek to ostracize t-t**m are forgotten. Fifty stocks climbed up to new high prices today. The stock boom is hurting bond sales, and savings bank deposits. Those that continue to buy good bonds and continue their visits to the savings bank will laugh last. Money for speculation was dearer, 4 per cent instead of the 2 per cent. Even that is cheap, when rising prices enable the speculator to double his stake overnight. Prices are not high yet. They are low, if prosperity is really sound, and if you select the right stocks. There are stocks selling a little above par that are intrinsically worth three times par, and may be worth three times more. Eldridge, a British automobile racer, has broken all records in France by driving his ear 10 miles at an average speed of 121 miles an hour. When will railroads utilize the lightness, speed and economy of the gas engine, breaking up their long heavy suburban trains now stopping everywhere, and send out passengers and trains in sections, those for the mure distant points starting first, and all on a non stop basis? Two more Chinese were killed yesterday in the tong wars. They were thorodghly ’killed. One was riddled with bullets, the other with 18 knife Ihrusta. Eight similar murders have been committed with in a few days. European nations have their own courts, for trying their citizens on Chinese territory. The Chinese have their own courts dealing with their nationals, here on our territory. It is hard, even for those that know our seasoned gunmen, to comprehend the reckless fury with which the tong men carry out orders to kill. The man named is as good as dead when his name is pronounced, and the killers are sent on their errand. (Copyright, 1924.) SHAKESPEARE 10 BE PLAYED HERE In the repertoire of Frit* Belber, who will open his engagement at the Brandeis tonight, ”Hamlet,” is perhaps the most popular played. True this is tin playbill in which the young star made his New York debut as a stilr six years ago and in wl\k*h ho achieved a noteworthy triumph.x "Hamlet,” is the play that best typifies Shakespeare's genius. For the local engagement, Mr. Leiber will be seen as “Hauilet” tonight, “Macbeth” tomorrow night, Brutus in “Julius Haesar” Wednesday ma tinee* and I » Arl tgnan in, “The Three Musketeers,” on Wednesday night.

MAHON CHIL DREN WIN OLD FARM SprHnl IHftpntrh tn The Omitha Be*. Popes, Neb., Nov. 30.—In a land ‘•an* involving 160 acres of improved farm land* near Waterbury, valued at $20,000, children and heirs of Barney Mahon, who wa* an early pioneer and homesteader in this locality, won the supreme court decision against A. I,. White. The land being: just over the line in Dakota county, the case flrsO was tried in district court at Dakota <’ity and decided against the heirs of Mr. Mahon in 1922. The case was appealed and just last week the su preme court reversed the decision, giving the land to the Mahon heirs. Barney Mahon homesteaded this land in 1.877 and was well known here as an old settler and progressive farmer. He died In August, 1903. while living on the farm, leaving six minor children from 3 to 12 years old. Later when the land was in posses sion of Mr. White, ui>on investigation of the title to the lands and the court records at Dakota City by the attor neys for the heirs, C. A. Kingsbury and C\ H. Hendrickson, it was decided to bring suit, which resulted in intri j • ate questions of law and the final decision by the supreme court.

Mr. Ihyn says. "The artist photographer depends upon his personality ami good fellow ship to obtain a pleasing and natural reproduction of his subject."

If any sense is impaired, all our judgments are warped. It. is estimated that *5 per cent of nil knowledge comes through our eyes,*’ says McCarthy. “In a recent survey made In New York city it was found that about SO per cent of the school children had some form of eye trouble. Parents should have their children's eyes ex amined twice a year,” advises Mc Carthy, “as eye trouble in form handi caps the child in his studies.” Dr. McCarthy has a method of straightening cross-eyes that has met with due popularity.^ A specially ground lens is used.
