Same Old Earl?
Roosevelt for king!
Ah, but that must make your Republican ears shiver . . . But don't worry too much. It's just another of these assinine college boy ideas. Yale students started it with a proposal to crown President Roosevelt "Franklin I" and rename Washington "Roosevelt City." Princeton joined the movement, suggesting that one Alf Landon be nominated "Pretender to the throne."
Columbia University students are the latest to get on the bandwagon. They even went so far as to receive a charter from Yale.
There must be some serious phase to al this, for somebody—probably the D.A.R.—will get up in arms and point out that it's un-American and who wants to imitate the English anyway. Perhaps naming Landon pretender to the throne will appease the Republics at least.
And because we adore the idea, we should like to nominate a worthy man, a fine, outstanding gentleman, impeachable in his views on stuff. Who?
The People's Decision
Father Coughlin. Yes, we should like to go on record as being the thinkers, the true American citizens who nominated Father Coughlin for a post he can so ably fill: The Archbishop of Canterbury.
But, goch, wouldn't it be, swell? We could have dukes and earls and abdications and all that stuff we've been doing without. We think the idea is undeniably peachy.
Why should we worry about the struggles in congress, the legislative, administrative, and judicial departments of the government? Our public officials are paid to do all our worrying for us. Why should we bother? That is the attitude of all too many citizens. They just don't want to be bothered.
Coughlin for Archbishop!
Night before last, the president of the United States made a radio report to the people. He explained his viewpoint, his plans, and his motives. He does not say "This must be." He says that we have got to do something to alleviate human suffering, to improve our economic setup. We can't do it under the present judicial system. Here is our solution. It's up to you, the people.
Some have preferred the idea of amending the constitution rather than changing the judicial membership. Whether the president's contention that the supreme court would still find ways to block legislation that the members as individuals disapprove of, may or may not be true. One thing is certain, however. The time usually needed to put through an amendment to the constitution is too long to wait without incurring a risk of conditions getting out of hand and before anything can be done about it.
The child labor amendment has been in the process of ratification for some 13 years. This movement so heartily endorsed by all students of sociology and human relations, by labor leaders, by educators, psychologists and scores of other clear thinking citizens, has to this day be ratified by only 28 states, and the country waits for the much needed legislation.
Something should be done. Some decision is to be made on the president's proposal. You as citizens are directly interested. Whether you favor the proposal or whether you oppose it is irrelevant.
Civilization Retreats
Government is not a once in four years carnival in which we listen to innumerable mud sliding speeches and smoke bad cigars any more than school life is all the hurry and scurry of rush week. Government is a constant function that should receive our constant attention.
Whatever your viewpoint, it is your right and duty to make yourself heard. Our government awaits the decision of the people in this vital matter.
"Gen. Gonzalo Queipo De Llano, in an insurgent broadcast from Seville, said today the famous Spanish painter, Ignacio Zuloaga, had been sentenced to death Sunday in government-held Bilbao."
This laecio announcement was buried on the inside pages of metropolitan newspapers this week. The crime? No one knows. It is probable that Zubaga's worst offense is that he happens to be in Spain at this time.
Recognized as the greatest living Spanish artist, Zuloaga has exhibited his paintings several times in the United States. En route to

this country in 1924, four of his paintings were sold for $100,000 before the ship docked. His work, vital and brilliant, combining in an original manner the decorative and the real, always embodies Spanish character and temperament. "I am a Spaniard," he has said, "and I shall be one all my life." As famous a linguist as he is a painter, he is considered almost a genius.
All of which proves nothing to the Spanish. In their war-mad country where young and old, weak and strong have all met the same fate, no exception will be taken for a famous artist. Only the art world will suffer the loss.
Italy in Spain
The Luce Institute, which makes semi-official news-reels for Italy, really went to town on recording the taking of Malaga by the rebels. It turned out to be a very good picture, clear and sharp, and so the Italian officials arranged things so that it might be shown at the Rome Super Cinema house for all to see. They titled it "The Liberation of Malaga."
For two nights it had been running and, doubtless, proving popular. So you may well imagine how sorry ex-King Alfonso of Spain was when he expressed a desire to see the picture only to be told it had been withdrawn from circulation.
You see, there were too many Italian soldiers, officers, and army trucks in the news-reel, and the Italian officials felt that it might not be for the best to continue running the film.
To us the whole business seems absurd. From the story one would gather that so many Italians were present at Malaga that it was difficult to find a Spaniard. If the Italian government would stop the showing of such a picture for the reasons given, things must have been pretty bad, for previously they had not tried very hard to keep secret the fact that numerous Italians were fighting with the rebels. Or maybe it was the truck which could be seen in the picture; they hadn't even bothered to erase the lettering on it—lettering which identified it as a truck of the Italian Royal force.
At any rate something made them change their minds. Maybe they were afraid the Loyalists might reprimand them . . .

"The Spanish custom is to use the mother's name after the father's name, to avoid confusion, but here it only causes confusion, as I have heard from many people who experienced," so runs a letter from Mrs. Julia Perry Guzman, of the Clinica Americana in La Paz, Bolivia, who has just returned to Kan-

"The name Bildiviose is the name of my husband's mother. I may use it or not, as I please, but my sons do not take it. We have concluded that it would be better to drop the name of my daughter using American forms here, so I always call her 'Julia Perry Guzman', Mrs. Guzman said."

"Definitely not! I don't believe it could compete with the prevailing custom of 'buggle buggling' even during a fuel shortage," said John Butterworth, e38, in reply to the question for the day. In case of an attack, he was in shortage next winter would you be in favor of a revival of bundling?
Tom Remones, c'uncel, Watkins' chauffeur, and hospital number 11-612, white waiting in line in the hospital for attention, answered "Why wait for a fuel shortage?" Impatience personified.
Using the same exclamatory first words as did Butterworth, Mary Jane Haynes, c37, said, "Definitely not! The day of bundling as bundling has passed. Interpretation of customs has changed. This is a modern era." Nothing more need be said.
Laura (Julia) Banks, c'39, used that word again, and said, "Defin-

Charlott Duston, fa4 20, who left out "definitely," thank goodness, said. "No! Do we people of the younger generation have to pattern our ideas after our grandmothers?" After all, a grandmother might have some good ideas.
Merlin Mills, c'40, paused on the library long enough to answer, "Sure. We could stand a little. 1 we be in favor of it emphatically."

YOU'd never dream that fast freight service meant greater saving or newer styles, would you? That it really affected you home or pocketbook? or that it resulted in a gigantic "Challenger" travel locomotives saved.
Yes, that's what fast freight service means to you, and this is why it hunched:
We wanted to offer the American shipmaster fighter, more precise freight service, the kind you expect from us.
We started out by buying fifty high-speed modern locomotives for main line service in 1928. Then we spent long months of experiment to set even higher speeds and, after several years of freight locomotive, the "Challenger," designed to handle heavy train loads at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Furnaces of these huge levitations are now in use.
and reduced the time between Council Bluffs and Ogden — the great transcontinental speedway to cross America.
But more than that (and this is where you come in), fast schedules mean reduced inventories, lower stocks and replacements for stores and shops . . . enable shop owners to make more efficient decisions because quick turnovers cut down costs and losses.
So today, when you do your shopping, buy a new suit or dartrowsht from New York design & fashion, you know that the happy results of Union Pacific's policy of constantly planning for the future, Union Pacific always
