ire sending missionaries to the
United States. We’ve been sending
nit missionaries to their country
tor centuries, but that Chinamen

fellow color.
What if, not content with seeking
:onverts, these interlopers inculcat-
I among us certain phases of their
oeathenish philosophy, such as
leaching young people consideration
land respect for their elders; and
showing that rushing about in a
¡frenzy does not necessarily indicate
business energy; and that the natur
al aim of man is not always to
¡worship speed and—up to thirty-
odd thousands a year—to die by it;
and that intolerance as between re
ligious creeds isn’t invariably proof
of true piety; and that minding
one's own affairs is really quite
an admirable trait?
Why, native Americans wouldn’t
be able to recognize the old home-
place any more!
Such threats against a superior
civilization are not to be borne.

Vanished Americans.
TT’S exciting to prowl among the
1 ruined cities of the first Ameri
cans, who scattered into the twi
lights of antiquity when the Chris
tian era was still young. They were
our oldest families, older than even
old Southern families—and who ever
heard of a new Southern family or
«ven just a middle-aged Southern
family?
But afterwards, it’s confusing to
read the theories of the expert re
searchers who have passed judg
ment on those vanished cliff-dwell-
jng peoples, because few such
learned gentlemen agree on any
single point. There is one very emi
nent authority who invariably in
sists that all the rest of the emi
nent authorities are absolutely
wrong about everything. He is the
Mr. Justice McReynolds of the ar
cheologists.
After reeding some of the conflict
ing literature on this subject, I’ve
decided that a true scientist is one
who is positive there are no other
true scientists.

Like individuals, the 48 states in
the Union do not always agree on
matters which affect them in com
mon.
In many respects each state is in
dependent of every other state. Each
has its own government, constitu
tion, and laws. Each surrenders to
the federal government, under the
Constitution, only enough of its in
dependence to assure regulation for
the common good in matters of na
tional concern.
Frequently one state believes that
a neighboring state has deprived
or is depriving it of certain rights.
It may believe that some of its
territory is wrongfully claimed by
its neighbor. Or it may think that
another state is polluting a river
which runs through, or bounds both
states. Perhaps the waters of an
interstate river are being diverted
by an upper state, so that the lower
state is deprived of some of its ben
efits. A difference over financial mat
ters may also demand a decision by
an impartial umpire.
Constitution Provides Umpire.
Under such circumstances, the
state which believes itself to be in
jured will ask the other to repair the
alleged damage, give up the dis
puted land, or make payments of
money claimed on loans, etc.
Often the state on which such de
mands are made disputes the
claims. What are the possible re
sults?
The disputing states could, in such
a situation, have a difficult time.
When similar disputes arise between
independent nations, the choice lies
between diplomatic conferences and
war. But, here, under the Constitu
tion, the Supreme court is. prepared
to meet such situations.
What were some of these differ
ences, amicably settled by submit
ting them for decision to our Na
tional Umpire? Here are a few:
In 1832 Rhode Island asked the
Supreme court to determine the cor
rect boundary line between that
state and Massachusetts. Both
claimed title to the land under their
respective charters from the Brit
ish crown.
Massachusetts Wins.
After determining that the evidence
showed the territory in dispute had
been possessed and occupied by the
people of Massachusetts for over
two hundred years, the court de
cided in favor of the Bay state.
•‘It would be difficult,” explained
the opinion, “to disturb a claim thus
sanctioned by time, however un
founded it might have been in its
origin."
, , „
In another case, Missouri and Ken
tucky could not agree as to the own
ership of an island in the Mississippi
—the boundary between the two
states. The main channel of the
river had been fixed as the dividing
From the evidence submitted the
court decided that at that time the
main channel had been on the west
side, and therefore the island was
part of Kentucky.
Numerous wars have been fought
in the course of history because one
country thought it should have part
of another’s territory. Many not dis
similar disputes between our states,
however, have been settled so quiet
ly by our National Umpire that few
people were even aware that differ
ences had arisen.
Court Recalls Old Treaty.
In 1921, for example, the Supreme
court was asked to decide a dispute
between Oklahoma and Texas, in
volving a strip of valuable oil land
' ‘'¿ “’S e n p S i l e armed
between parties claiming title from
the state of Texas and others claim
ing title from the state of Oklahoma,
it became necessary for the Supreme
court to assume charge of the ter
ritory through a receiver, until the
di«?Dute was decided.
The case was settled in favor °
Oklahoma, after the court found it
necessary to consider a treaty be
tween the United States and Spain,
s.;cned back in 1819.
On another occasion the Supreme
court ordered Colorado not to divert
more than a small amount of the
waters of a river within its bounda
ries because such action would de
prive the people of Wyoming of their
right to have the river, on whose
waters they depended, flow through
^Ir^thw e, and other cases, the Su-
court by its decisions de
termined the’law for the whole peo
ple ^n d fulfilled its purpose as
guardian
of their rights.

from the German dictator’s life is
a word of encouragement for those
whose early lives may seem fail
ures.
Adolf Hitler was born on the Ba
varian frontier of Germany in 1889,
the son of a customs official who
had political ambitions for him. The
boy developed a desire to be an
artist. His father opposed him, so
Adolf refused to study in school.
He was the despair of his father
and mother. When he was eight
een, he went to Vienna and applied
for admission to the Academy of
Art. His art was too poor to qualify

HEN the world takes a holiday
at the beach, tennis court, golf
course, aboard ship or wherever
cation lures the playful, watch
prints. We promise you that you
will see prints this summer such as
you have never seen before, armies
of them, droves of them, proces
sions of them!
It would seem as if style creators
are just discovering that if there
is one place more than another
where riotously gay prints lend
themselves dramatically to the pic
ture, it is at the beach and its en
virons. The vibrant blue and green
hues of the sea, the vast dome of
a glamorous opalescent sky, the
bright glare of the sun, the stretches
of golden sand call to the colors,
and to more color and more in the
fashion parade.
So it is that prints for beach and
for swim wear have become a hob
by with designers this summer.
Needless to say, for the most part
it’s linens and cottons that “steal
the show” when it comes to rollick
ing, frolicking beach end sea-going
costumes. The grand thing about
the spectacular printed linens and
cottons that are so thrillingly en
livening the pageantry of fashion
where sea-breezes blow is that you
can wear them with all confidence,
knowing that they have been scien
tifically processed so that they won’t
shrink and they won’t lose their high
color no matter how wet the water,
no matter how many duckings they
get, no matter how relentlessly
scorching sun rays attack. This as
surance of non-shrinkage and of col
or endurance that goes with mod
ern wash materials has, as a mat
ter of fact, proved persuasive in
encouraging the movement that is
now on of featuring tub prints in a
big way for beach fashions and also
for swim suits.

early grades made it impossible for
him to pass entrance requirements
there.
For three years he slept in a
cheap men’s hotel in Vienna, get
ting his meals at a monastery and
occasionally begging from passers-
by. In the winter he shoveled snow
to make a living. Whenever he
earned a few kronen, he stopped
work and went to some cheap cafe
to deliver political speeches. He
painted poor water colors which a
friend peddled for him, he painted
picture postcards, and when hungry
enough was a house painter. Dur
ing the war he was a corporal.
Here was a man in his thirties
who had never shown any real
promise in anything he did. Then,
Adolf Hitler formed an ideal of
government.

Here it is, the latest step toward
chic and toward greater freedom—
the tipless glove, cut to show bright
ly polished nails. The open-air fe
ver, starting with toeless shoes and
crownless hats, has gone to the fin
gers. If your gloves are copper red
as gloves and accessories are apt
to oe these days it’s robin-red nail
polish you’ll be wanting. The suit
is of horizon blue, softest feather
weight woolen. The wide revers,
the modified umbrella skirt, the
squared shoulders and the boxy
jacket with its jaunty swing make
this smart street-and-travel costume
as modish as it is practical.
Pastel laces for the wedding gown,
as well as the bridal party’s dresses
are a new note this season, and
one that bids fair to gain in popular
ity through the season. Very pale
pastels are used, so pale that they
are almost white, and yet have a
special shimmer that would not be
attained by plain white. One of the
loveliest of these pastel wedding
gowns that we have seen is of palest
blue linen thread, and the edge of
the train, and the edge of the slit
skirt, are scalloped with the scallop
ing accented by tiny-pleated net in
the same blue. The neckline, too, is
edged with the fine net pleating.
Net, as well as lace, ranks highly
for bridal gowns this season. Silk
net, particularly, is adapted to mold
ing the figure, and when cut on a
princess line, accenting the slender
figure, it makes a truly beautiful
bridal gown. And whereas net veils
are prevalent over lace bridal
gowns, a net wedding dress is best
set off by a lovely lace wedding veil.
One veil that we have seen, over
a net gown, was of lace, and very
short. A bertha collar of lace was
attached to the net train, the lace
forming borders on the sides of th ,
train.
