Balance of power, that old Euro
pean device which failed to consoli
date peace efficiently to prevent
the world tragedy of 1914-18, again
hue reared its head across the At
lantic. Statements In the French parlia
ment that France ana the Soviet
Union have a military understand
ing, that the red army will be at
France's disposal If Oermany attacks,
constitute the clinching evidence bo
far as many observers of foreign
affaire are concerned.
"Russia haa a strong and well
equipped army, which she offers us
Jn case of conflict with Germany,"
said Leon Archlmbaud presenting
a new war budget to the chamber of
deputies.
Think In Pre-War Terms.
Thus men are ehown as thinking
In the terms of 1014 rather than
those of 1920 when thrones had tot
tered and "self-determination of peo
ples had become the yardstick and
the world hoped that the "war to
save democracy" had accomplished
Its object.
Today dictators take the place of
monarchs. Hereditary power still is
at a discount, but the dally lives
of millions are, In some cases, as
closely ordered as In the time when
"divine right" reigned.
Twenty years ago when the world
conflict was In the making there
were fears and forebodings, mili
tary secrets and spy scares. Bo there
are today.
Political oppositionists fled across
frontiers In those days, plotted the
overturn of administrations. Justi
fied the use of arms against "ty
rants." Bo they do today.
The moot question, then as now,
was when a political refugee en
titled to haven, became an interna
tional terrorist, subject to extradi
tion, trial and sentence.
Old Alignments Reappear.
There were closely similar back
grounds to the crime of Sarajevo in
1014 and the nssassl nations at Mar
seille on October B.
In pre-war Europe there existed
the triple entente of Prance, Rus
sia and Great Britain. Today the
English government. Influenced by
a sizable section of public opinion
which decrlea "meddling in the af
fairs of the continent," holds aloof.
But Its leaders' brows are furrowed
and "Britain's frontier has moved
to the Rhine."
Then there was the old "triple al
liance" of Imperial Germany, the
Austro-Hungarlan empire and the
kingdom of Italy. Remnanta of the
Hapsburg domain today find back
ing In Rome and fascist newspapers,
a short time ago denunciatory of
nam alms toward Austria have put
a silencer on such criticisms. Simul
taneously there has been a ban of
'anschluns" discussion In Oermany
ana Austrian naais have conferred In
Vienna with the successor to the
els In Chancellor Doll fuss.
One of the keys to this realign
ment la In Asia, where Manchoukuan
claims anent Russia's share In the
Chinese Eastern railway Imperilled
soviet relations with Japan's foster
child. The soviet leaders in Moscow,
foreseeing a possible clash In the far
east, redouhied efforts to make their
European fences secure and non
aggression pnetn were negotiated.
Miller's Rise Also Factor.
But meanwhile nanism, arch foe
of communism and of all things per
taining to the soviet system, had
triumphed In Germany. One of the
first feats of the Hitler regime was
an understanding with Poland.
The development was sufficiently
pretentious to send Louis Barthou.
Prance's foreign minister, on a hur
ried trip to Warsaw, since Poland,
like the members of the little en
tente, was an Important sector In
the "ring of isolation" which the big
republic, had been erecting around
Hitler's third relch, He swung from
there to Bucharest, Praha and Bel
grade and wns receiving a return
visit from Alexander of Yugoslavia
when both were assassinated in
Marseille.
That Polish - German rapproche
ment helped also to convince Prance
and the Soviet Union that their In
terests were closely related. Hence
the announced "understanding.'

HOLLYWOOD. (T Margaret Sui
lavan's elopement to Yuma with her
director, William Wyler, surprised
Holly wood but
did not surprise
Margaret . Sulla
vsn. The day after
the marriage
she and her
bridegroom were
back on the set,
finishing their
work on "The
fkod Fairy." the
film which sup.
posedly brought
them together.
Wyler, as bo-
MARGARET SULLAVAN fits bridegrooms,
referred q u e s
tions about their romance to hit
bride. Miss Sullavan, aa befits M'as
Sullavan, had little to say, but sne
did vouchsafe: "We've been In love
more than a year. The reason wc
said nothing about It was that vc
didn't want ourselves constantly
talked and written about as gol:g
together."
Tli at being the case, she succeeded
brilliantly. Hollywood thought the
big Interest in her life was John Mo
Cormlck, Colleen Moore's ex-husband
and Hollywood talked and wrote
about that.
Margaret Sullaran doesnt like
Hollywood. She has been frank, al
though not especially belligerent, on
that score.
Dislikes Interview!.
She doesn't like interviews. Those
who have tried to corner her say that
she will answer a question, call It
quits, and ahy away. The "Interview"
may be continued. Informally, w.th
another question day, a week, a
month later. One writer pieced to
gether a yarn on Margaret Sullavan
through several such one-minute "in
terviews" covering a period of six
weeks. N
She is to the Universal lot what
Oar bo is to M. O. M. and Katharine
Heribern to R. K. O. a "publicity

Is not a rechise like Oarbo, and she

What She Mkcd.
Her friends trace her suspicion of
Interviewers to an early experience
with a magaelne scribe who lnvJti
her to dinner. Seated at a table sur

van reputedly was the target during
dinner for Innumerable questions
from her hostess about her private
life, especially shout her first mar
riage to Henry Fonda. Miss Sulla
van, who doesn't talk about her pri
vate life, decided If that was Holly
wood which It occasionally is she
wouldn't play the game.
About the lot they tear their hair,
call her "little brat." and then, pre

charm of the girl, they address her
In endearing terms and call her a
"regular." She la known to her In

And they arc sure now that there
Is at least something about Holly

Mars has been regarded as the only

Sir James Jeans and several other
astronomers have contended that
perhaps not more than one other
planetary system exists in tnis galaxy,
The Jeans' conclusion Is based on
the theory that planets are formed
only through close encounters between
two stars formed from matter eject

"The motions of the .stars and
planets Indicate there was a time
when the stars and sun were of enor
mous size, in fact ttv? whole galaxy
was a huge ball of gas," Dr. Strom
berg said. "The complicated motions
of the stars, planets, asteroids and
satellites are accounted for by the
accumulated action of viscnslty Jn
the gas."
Slow Motion at K1rt
According to his theory, the huge
gas balls were set in very slow rota
tion by their mutual attractions, and
the planets were formed at ' much
greater distances from the sun than
they are now. I
"Planetary systems with satellites
moving about the planets would then
be a normal occurrence among the
tars," said Dr. Stromberg.
"So, after all, we do not have to
feel so lonely In the universe. Even
If the other planets tn the solar sys

other suns with planets where life aa

NEW OIL DRILL BIT
MAY HELP INDUSTRY
BEATJMONT, Tex. (UP) A new
collapsible drill bit, an Invention cal
culated to revolutionize the drilling
Industry was to be manufactured here
soon.
The bit. Invented by L. P. Klnnear
and C. W. Klnnear. both practical
drillers, and two of the pioneer drill
ers of the vast South American oil
fields, would be used in rotary drill
ing. The tool was the result of eight
years' work.
The outstanding feature of the new
tool, according to the inventors, la
In th billty of drillers to maintain
rotation of the drill pipe and circu
lation of drilling fluid while chang
ing the bit. Any desired pressure
may be held on the walls of the well
during this operation, the men said.
The operation Is accomplished by
a ptston-llke action in the pipe,
which la controlled by a valve at the
top of the hole.
When a tavern keeper In Stokes
county, North Carolina. learned of
Andrew Jackson's victory over the
British In 1814, he wrote "paid In

You'll Lose EveryTime
if you gamble with your eyes
EiYESTRAIN is responsible for many common ailments. Among them are
headache, nervousness, general fatigue, faulty digestion, and sleeplessness. And
wherever there is poor light eyestrain is sure to occur. Do not gamble with your
a 1 1 . F . V
eyes to save a tew pennies on light, xoure sure to lose, im
proper lighting is one of the direct causes of eyestrain. If your
eyes tire quickly when reading at night, it may be you are injur
ing your vision by having less light than you need, or your light
sources may be improperly placed. Good lighting costs little.
Often the electricity that is used to burn a lamp of average size
an entire evening will add less to your bill than the cost of a
postage stamp. Imagine gambling the welfare of your eyes
against a penny or two a day. Don't run the risk of ruining your
eyes or your children's eyes in an effort to "save light." You
lose every time. See this new type lamp (recently designed to
help correct the evils of improper home lighting) at your dealers.
