In May, 1789, after the Corsican patriots under Paoli had forced _ 1 out the Genoese, only to be followed It is generally j by a French invasion, the island j became a French possession. A few months later Napoleon was born, a French citizen. His own father had been a follower and friend of Paoli, had declared against France and had fought,for Corsican independence.

Sentiment, has not reached a point where, the Roosevelt Administration is willing to challenge Lewis by demanding amendment^ to the Wagner Act making the unions take responsibility along with the vast power given in this law. The White House hopes other vital isfeues will absorb-, the, attention of Congress until labor strife abates. With the signing of the Federal relief appropriation bill practically giving the President a "blank cheqk" the lawmakers, who voted him this power, are wondering how he will use it. The latest figures of the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that industry has absorbed approximately 750,000 workers, who were unemployed during the last few months. This absorption together with employment gains of recent years brings the estimated total of unemployed down to approximately 5 million. When you consider that under conditions of high prosperity there are /more than one million people, who are employable but are not working for various reasons, then the best" calculations indicate that actually less than 5 million are out of work at present. The Works Progress Administration reports that they have more than two million now employed on their projects, which represents a reduction of approximately one million from the peak reached February 26, 1936. Legislators representing districts predominantly rural in character are fretting as the complaints from farmers continue to grow against Federal relief policies. It is reported that labor shortages exist on the majority of farms because of the competition of the W. P. A. at higher wage rates and easier working conditions. Reports received by national farm organizations show that out of every 100 available farm jobs, 20 to 25 go begging. It is not due to a shortage of eligible farm labor because research shows the heavy percentage of former farm workers are now in cities on relief rolls apparently too lazy to return to .earn a livelihood on the farm. It is a small wonder that organized farmers are bringing pressure to bear on the local and national authorities in an effort to weed out the lazy element from their sinecures, which are financed by hard working taxpayers. The W. P. A. is vigorously denying that their policies are responsible for the shortage of farm labor. Early adjournment is so confidently anticipated by bored and worried solans is not in the books at this time. The House may wind up its program, but must go through the motions of meeting occasionally until the Senate is ready to quit. As a filibuster againsK^the court reform is ready to burst, it Is unlikely that the lawmakers will break camp this summer. There are palpable reasons for the Senate to stick to their guns for the political careers of many incumbents are at stake. The Democratic wheeli horses supporting the President's policies do not dare impose a gag-rule to stifle speech. With at least 35 Senators ready to talk on the court or on ships and sealing wax as a timeconsuming device the outlook is for a prolonged and hectic session. The only hope for peace is a compromise court plan which those opposed to the original Roosevelt propsal could accept without having the stigma of defeat attached to their actions. The name of the sculptor, has been forgotten but it is said that Elsworth either sold his forty-acre farm or willed it to the artist to pay for the monument. Elsworth sat for the designing of the strange figure', which depicts him clothed in flowing robes like those which his Biblical namesake might have worn. His feet are bare and in his left hand he holds a palm branch, adding a final touch to the Biblical allusion. Clnancipation Monument The Emancipation monument in Boston has never received a full measure of approval from art critics, but it has had an interesting history. The statue is a copy of the Freedmen's memorial in Washington, which was paid for by subscription among former slaves of the South, a subscription reaching about $18,000. Thomas Ball Was the sculptor of the piece. He conceived jthe idea in Munich when he heard the news of Lincoln's assassination and set to work immediately on his return to Florence where he maintained his studio. An odd incident in connection with the modeling is that the sculptor could not obtain models for the figures and therefore became his own model, kneeling in front of a mirror in order to carve the figure of the slaves. This statue was bought by the former slaves and erected in Washington with great ceremonies, including an oration by the negro orator, Frederick Douglass.--Boston Globe. Eartk aad Water Not always have the same regions of the earth as are now covered by water been submerged. Nor has the land now seen always been above sea level. For there have been upthrusts from the sea to create new land just as there have been subsidences with the seas sweeping over vast areas. It is certain that in the crust of the earth now covered by tidewater there are enormously rich resources, held secure, perhaps, from man's exploitation. It is not doubted that there are metals, priceless gems, and various other valuable things lying there under the oceans. Oil, too, no doubt, locked perhaps, forever away from human acquisitiveness. John Hancock John Hancock was the first president of the Provincial Congress, and of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, the first to sign the Declaration of Independence and the first governor of Massachusetts, an office which he held with the exception of two years, because of ill health, from 1780 until 1793. Hancock was the first major general of the militia in the colony of Massachusetts. v- Tombs Are Lighted Incandescent lights are used in all the important tombs in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
