Season of the SpIashe1 Always do we pass through a season of the year when the "splashing" dri- ver has his full innings. In the ruts along the road there is water, and it is dirty and the driver knows it, but does not seem to convey much mean- ing to his bead. If he has occasion to turn the cor- ner and come close to the folk who nvalk and many do—he has opportun- ity to demonstrate how well and how thoroughly he can splash dirty water. He does not come hack and suggest that the person who has been splashed should send suit or dress or, .coat to the cleaner.: and present him with the bill, and perhaps it has never occur- red to hitu that the law is such that he can be made to pay for the damage he does. In the meantime the splasher is having a fairly good time, according to the slim light which has been meas- ured out to him. — Teterboro Exam- iner 1.95 SSSS. 2.50 Haggis In 'ling Ain these irreverent times; It is no wonder there are Mare and rumour e,f Peace: No wonder there aro catama- ties and revolutions and unhappiness throughout the 'worlds The sad truth THE EMPIRE The Shame of the Slums The King goes down to the Clyde- bank slums, but have you been? lie sees how the second city of Britain keeps its poor in hovels and rags, but have you seen?

Birth Ree and >rmmig7alion London Morning Post: Obviously a vast country like Australia cannot expect to preserve her — present national status unchallenged unless ,he fills up her empty spaces. Un- happily her birth rate has fallen no low that there is no prospect of her filling those spaces by the natural increase of her existing population. Worse still, even her insignificant natural increase has been depleted during the years of depression by a net annual outflow of migration, and in view of the heavy burden of un- employment .the Federal and State Governments intelligibly refused to listen to any scheme for new settle- ment. Returning prosperity, how- ever, has begun to induce a welcome change of attitude: various respon- sible statements in recent months have indicated that Australia may shortly be ready to foster the re- sumption of immigration.

Purple and violet are favorite colors for the dressier costume for the afternoon and evening and bright French - blue, which the French call _"Royal," is featured for the- evening costume by several of the houses. in the land that was mandated to France after the 'World War. These riots, in turn, stem from the unrest in Egypt, where the English have been a good deal of difficulty per- suading the natives that British supervision is all for their best in- terests. And the. Egyptian. trouble, in its turn, grows out of the things the Italians acre doing, .or trying to do to the Ethiopians. Fifty years ago, no ane would have worried much about such things If the Italians bad wanted Ethiopia, everyone would have sat back to enjoy the show with a clear consci- ence. If the British police in Cairo had had .to whack a few dozen de- monstrators on the head with yard clubs, we would h..ve spoken soul- fully about the need for a firm hand in repressing disorders. And French shooting of Moslem rioters in Damascus would have drawn from us only the reflection that Arabs are a troublesome breed, anyway. We don't take things so comfort- ably, nowadays. We have began to suspect that the nation wlnicli takes possession of some other nation's territory has some remarkable points of resemblance to the big city gang which goes =sling in on some other gang's territory, and if original own- ers of the land make trouble about it, they are apt to get our sympathies. And it is beginning' to look as if in the long run the stunt of ruling some land by force may cost a great deal more than it is worth. Indeed, it may eventually prove to be an ut- terly impossible proposition Consider the links: Hauptmann when arrested had in his possession $14,560 of undisputed ransom money, Fourteen ransom letters were iden- tified by eight experts as fir the hand- writing of, Hauptmann, not only be- cause of letter formation, but also because of spelling. Hauptmann was identified by a cab driver as the man who gave him a ransom note to deliver to Dr, ("Jafsie") Condon. Hauptmannn's voice and accent were identified by Jafsie and by Colonel Lindbergh as those of the man to whom the ransom money • had been paid. in a graveyard. A board was found in a closet in Hauptmann's home on which the street addin ss and telephone number of Dr. Condon were printed in pen- cil. The Lindbergh infant's shirt was offered by the man in the graveyard —later identified as Hauptmann—to Dr, Condon, as proof that the man had possession of the baby. It was sent to Jafsie in a package addressed in writing which experts identified as Hauptnnarnn's , The wood in the kidnapper's brok- en ladder was identified by 0 govern- ment specialist in woods as coming from a lumber ' yard near Haupt - man's hone, A rung of the ladder was shown to match the sawed edge of a severed board in the Hauptmann attic, Plane marks on the ladder were shown to correspond with the nicks in it plane found among Haupt- nrann's tools. Nothing that has developed since the trial of Hauptmann has cast so much as a shadow of doubt on the cold logic of this chain. The point' raised by Governor , Hoffman ` end others who have come to the kidnap- per's aid are immaterial. Lven should Whited and that Millard�4h it be shown the aged Amnandus I'Iochmuth. who swore thew saw Hauptmann in the neighborhood o`f the Lindbergh resi- dence, were merely notoriety seekers indulging in perjury, it would not.ef- 'feel; any one of the convincing cir- cunmstantiol links. • Something may he saicl for the possibility that Hauptmann was not alone in `the exectutioin of they crime; but ' thei'o has yet; to be discavered airy, sulipovt other than his own chis- crseclite'd 'testimony for the theory that he is innocent, 1TS" TAIL STANDS UP .
