Comment
on the
Day's News
. By FRANK JENKINS
EDOENE V. BREWSTER, former
millionaire but sow bankrupt,
and his beauty-contest-winner vile,
we learn from the newspapers, are
to give It up and seek a divorce.
Difference In age and desire for
. dissimilar careers. Brewster says, are
responsible.
LET'S sea about that.
Brewster married Corliss Palm
er, the beauty contest winner, be
cause he found her more fascinating
than his wife of nearer his own age,
whom he divorced.
Miss Palmer married Brewster be
cause he was rich, and wealth dazz
led her young eyes.
Both found that It didn't seem to
work.
HAROLD McOORMIOK. harvester
magnate, who divorced his old
er wife a few years ago and married
the younger and more thrilling Gan
na Walska, has also given It up and
turned again to the divorce courts
for relief.
youth and beauty, on one side, and
age and wealth on the other, couldn't
make up for the lack of the other
things without which marriage Is
seldom successful.
THOMAS A. EDISON, 84-year-old
Inventor, one week of whose time
has been worth . more to humanity
than ALL THE LIVES of Brewster
and McCormlck, lies on his death
bed, and his white-haired wife alts
beside him. waiting with htm for the
end. her face the only face and her
voice the only voice recognized by
the man whose long and useful life
- Is drawing to a close.
WE have heard V lot about Jazz In
recent years. There have been
plenty of experiences like Bre waters
and McCormlck's. In some quarters
the ancient virtues have been scoffed
t.
But, with all 6r.lt, the spectacle
of Thomas A. Edison, whose life has
been devoted to hard work and who
has never found time for philander
ing, is a prettier spectacle than all
the philandering of all the Brewsters
and all the McCormlcka.
A N OTHER ancient virtue that has
been scoffed at a great deal of
late Is thrift. For years, the good
words that have been spoken for
thrift have been few and - far be
tween. "Spend" has been the modern
idea. Only by spending, we have been
told over and over again, can pros
perity be created.
'TWERE la something to It, of
course. Hoarded dollars dont
create employment, and without em
ployment there can be no prosperity.
But don't forget this: Before you
can spend safely and wisely you must
first SAVE.
If you haven't got it, you will get
Into trouble sooner or later If you try
to SPEND IT.
yHE ancient virtues, to be sure,
look rather old-fashioned at
times.'
They are ancient, you see, because
they have survived so long, and they
have survived so long because by and
largo they have been found to be
useful In achieving human happi
ness. OPEAKINO of age, here is a recent
statement by one of the Eastern
business analysts:
"The time when business men base
their wftole future on doing each
year a larger volume of business
than they' did the year before Is
drawing to a close in this country,
because we are nearing the end of
our great development period.
"In the future, we must be con
tent, more and more, with s fixed
volume of business, handled more ef
ficiently." yHAT may be true of the East, but
It ISNT TRUE of tt.ls Western
country of ours.
WE aren't old. Our great period of
development ISNT past. We can still
look forward confidently to the fu
ture, knowing that great things are
till in store for us.
That l why the West, especially
the Pacific Coast, la the most hope
ful part of America.

The robbers had timed the at

REPUBLICAN RULE
FOR NEW SENATE
HELD SURE THING
Present Lineup Shows 48
Republicans, 47 Demo
crats, 1 Farmer-Labor
Bickering As Day Looms
By Francis M. Stephenson, .
Washington, Oct. 13. (AP)
Republicans almost surely will or
ganize the new senate, but there la a
lot of private bickering about It at
the capltol. j
Barring deaths before December 7, i
the lineup Is expected to be 48 re-;
publicans, 47 democrats and one
farmer-labor.
Because of this close division It Is!
possible, of course, for one or two
republicans to throw the organization ;
to the democrats simply by not vot-;
lng. '
Some republican regulars who re-1
call the coalition last session of the
democrats and republican Independ
ents, intimate they would be Just as
willing that the democrats assume re-:
sponslbillty for the next senate.
Would Lose Chairmen.
If they give control to the demo
crats, these regulars would see Sena
tors Borah of Idaho and Norrls of
Nebraska, two of the leaders of the
coalition, lose their chairmanships of
the Important foreign relations and
Judiciary committees, respectively.
There are counter threats from the
Independent group, although neither
Senator Borah nor Senator Norrls
seems Interested. 8ome of this fac
tion Intimate they will seek to eject
Senator Moses of New Hampshire as
president pro tern. Senator Moses Is
ready to meet this by a retaliatory
vote to eject from their chairman
ships any republicans who desert
blm.
The situation as to which party
will organize the house of represen
tatives remains uncertain. The spec
ial election today' in the first Wis
consin district la not expected to have
any vital effect on the result. Re
publican victory there Is expected, by
both democrats and republicans.

JAP AGGRESSION
REQUIRES ACTION
LEAGUE IS TOLD
Dr. Sze, Chinese Spokesman
Asserts Hope of World
Disarmament Depends
Upon Present Attitude
GENEVA, Oct. 13- (AP) The
league of nations council heard both
sides of the Slno-Japanese conflict
in Manchuria today and adjourned
until tomorrow or later without tak
ing action.
Dr. Alfred Sze, representing China,
demanded that the league act against
what he called Japanese military ag
gression, not only in the Interests of
peace In Manchuria, but on tne
grounds that "unless we can co
operate In this grave emergency, we
shall fall to Instill any confidence In
International security and order."
KenklQhi Yoshlzawa, the Japanese
spokesman, Insisted on continuing
direct negotiations with China, and
disavowed his government's responsi
bility for the Manchurtan troubles.
GENEVA, Oct. 13. (AP) Ths
League of Nations council convened
In extraordinary session today to con
sider the Slno-Japanese conflict In
Manchuria, listened to a statement
by Dr. Alfred Stoe, the Chinees dele
gate, and adjourned, until this after
noon.
Dr. Sze, asserting that the hope
for world disarmament depends upon,
the league's action now, denounced
Japan's "violence and military ag
gression," and demanded, that the
league direct Immediate withdrawal
of Japanese troops from Manchuria.
He Invoked the League of Nations
covenant and the Kellogg pact as
'cornerstones of world peace.' and
asserted that China has lived up to
her provisions of the league under
terrible provocations."
Action Essential.
He emphasized that quick action Is
essential If "most unhappy results'
axe to be avoided.
While he spoke, the diminutive
Kenklohl Yoshlzawa, Japan's repre
sentative, sat Impassively on the other
side of ths council table, and will
be heard this afternoon.
. "When our territory was suddenly
Invaded on a vast scale, our towns
laid waste and our peaceful ttlsens
done to death, what was our reply?"
asked Dr. Sze, ' . .: r!;,v
The reply, he said, was In the form
of three executive proclamations calN
lng on the Chinese to remain calm,
and await the league's action.
"The covenant and ths Kellogg
pact are our two sheet anchors to
which we have moored our ship of
state," he said, "and with ths help
of these we believe we shall ride out
this storm.
Cornerstone of Peace.
"But the covenant and pact are
also the cornerstone of a worldwide
edifice of peace and If they crumble
that edifice collapses. -
"Is It likely that nations who had
witnessed this tragic collapse of the
covenant and pact at the first great
test would assemble quietly In Geneva
In February to disarm? Would they
not rather draw the conclusion that
after all each state must rely on
Its own armed forces and on that
alone?"
"And with the Idea of disarmament
goes the whole Idea of International
security, for the two are indlssolubly
linked. If we fall now, when America
offers her cooperation, and fall In
February with disarmament, what
chance have we of working out some
form of permanent association, some
provision for a conference under the
Kellogg pact to avert threats to
peace?"

13. If I had suggested such
a "nut" thing, I doubt if even
