ROYAL AIR FORCE: On the anni versary of Louis Blerlot's hlstory- "making flight across the English Channel thirty years ago, Britain sent 240 of her most modern bomb- ing planes roaring over France last "week. It" was the biggest war-test flight ever made in history and was an impressive demonstration of the progress in aviation since Blerlot made the crossing ago. ' Although the flight was merely a demonstration, the Axls powers will have no doubt | now re- garding Britain's power in the air and it * is almost significant learn that Hitler on the day of this demonstration was suffering from nervous shock. - NEW FARMING UNIT: In Dear- born, Michigan, Henry Ford exhib- ited before 400 newspapermen and agricultural experts recently a new juechanized farming unit which he predicted would revolutionize agri- culture and "make draft animals economically obsolete," Said he: "It will displace the horse on the farm just as thé automobile displac- ed him on the road." Mr, Ford's horse-displacer consists of a small lightweight tractor with detachable implements embodying new tricks of coupling and operation develop- ed by an Irish engineer named Har- ry Ferguson . The Ford-Ferguson tractor unit has many revolution- ary virtues and costs about $585. BRITAIN'S CANNY MOVE: When Britain decided to extend credits totalling $300,000,000 to her poten- tial allies for tho purchase of mun- itions and other war materials she mado a-eanny move. Moro potent than threats of force is the threat of economic resistance to fascist plans of conquest. While relative military strength has been debat- able--England and France are uns beatable In the field of. finance-- and Hitler knows it. Thus th. more important result of the British de- ~cisfon -is its moral effect--for Brit- ish credits are moro convincing evi- dence of future intentions than British promises. - 150TH BASTILLE DAY: July 14th marked the 150th anniversary of the fall-of the Bastille. The cele- bration took the form of a tremen- dous miljtary pageant this year and not since recent war scares has France seen such a gay, sell-confi- dent and joyous Bastille Day, prompting observers to note that in . the wiurtakyerves the Republic has won a great victory. To most of us Bastille Day h:s much more significince than just as National holiday. To Frenchmen and to the rest of the world it is a_ memorial to the "principles of 1776 and 1789", to ideas common to. Western democracy. When we think of the storming of the Dast- lle we realize that it was an act of defiance against vested authority, a dramatic and concrete assertion that men can and will overthrow a government with which they are dissatisfied, - The family Bible of the late Czar Nicholas 1I of Imperial Rus. sia has been found in a second- hand bgokstore in London. . The Bible, bound in satin- smooth leather with solid gold clasps, has been returned to the British and Foreign Bible Society, which gave it to the Czar for his Coronation_in May, 1896. ___To prevent the formation of a black sulphur line between yolk and white, the egg should be shelled while still hot and plunged immediately - into cold water, a wastepaper basket, a hion, candles, a quaint jug or bowl.

Don't Get Sun In Your Eyes Protect Them With Dark Glas- ses or a Crop of Wrinkles Will Result IU's a common enough impulse to fling protection to the winds, or whatever winds blow before the sunshine came along, but that doesn't-do away with the common- sense fact that your eyes need It, your head needs it, and most cer- tainly your beauty needs it. First, let's be sensible about your eyes, and mlx the senso with fun. Gone are the days when dark glasses were either a sigh of de- fective sight or an attempt at dls- guise. Today, on a sunny day, they are as indispensable as lipstick, and An afternoon's sunbath, without glasses, can un- do all the good that a year's care ever did. An hour's squinting into the sun can produce a finer crop of wrinkles than a decade of time. 'Books And You 2203. Af "ELIZABETH EEDY SUMMER READING | When the mercury rises and our " brows bead with the heat of sum- mer we turn to the more amusing in the realms of literature, For summer reading we find that the shorter stories and' human anec- dotes of some of the popular essay- ists are delightful. . Among the favorites we have se- lected three to recommend, One is that little masterpiece from the pen of Cornelia Otis Skinner, "Ex- cuse It Please," in which the auth- or carrles you dlong through a ser- fes of her amusing experiences, _ such as meeting old school friends =| _ and not having ono thing in com.' mon with them, and 'learning to ride a horse. : = = One of the best collections which has not received _the attention it deserves is Harold - Nicholson's "Small Talk," Many: are familiar ~ with the Hon. Harold j Nicholson, | M.P, in "Punch" magazine but, they should be more familiar: with "theso witty essays. "Small Talk" is a tonic! 2 x The third to come to mind at this season Is one that is listed among the new books. Dorothy Parker, fa- vorite of many has released a new collection of her short stories entlt- led, "Here Lies." Mrs. Parker ig all her works shows perfectly, certain situations common to the lives of millions of human beings of all classes, races and nationalities. Her wit is at times barbed and again she writes ' with com- 'passion but at all times she 18 pen- etrating. We guarantee that one or all three of these will prove entertain. ing and will leaye the reader chuck- ling. and_refreshed. : VOICE of the ~ PRESS FOR HOME AND COUNTRY We never lore an opportunity to say a good word about Women's In- stitutes for of all the organizations ~ repdering public apd unselfish ger- vice in - a-community, we. place these at the top.

What he has done to German hu- man beings Is disclosed in part by an 'analysis which the New York , Times has made of German vital * statistics. Thus: x Since Hitler came to power in 1933 cases of diphtheria and scarlet |_ fever have virtually doubled; of spinal meningitis actually trebled.
