An editorial argues speed kills and notes 1934’s 36 000 sudden ths as proof. It links reckless driving, alcohol impairment, and human frailty to fatal crashes, warning even skilled drivers face danger at high speeds. The author cites J. Nagin and questions whether speed can be safe while humanity fails.
The piece discusses war correspondence maps and claims that Gorahai’s fall unsettles Harar while Makale’s capture prompts a push toward Lake Tana. It notes the 250 mile distance between Gorahai and Harar and describes how river waters and uphill terrain affect Italian troop movement during the drought renewed campaign.
The commentary notes Gorahai and Valual near Harar, a difficult Makale to Lake Tana route with peaks up to 15 000 feet, and questions the Blue Nile watercourse as a strategic objective. It suggests a possible scare for the British if maps are lacking, while acknowledging Duce's forces progress amid challenging terrain and limited opposition.
The piece contrasts rapid air mail progress with persistent political fear and war. It notes Pan-American’s Alameda Canton service starting in November with stops at Honolulu Midway Wake Guam and Manila. It questions whether global mail will spread newspapers of war or promote peace as aviation speeds erode wartime barriers.
Press comment argues that national readiness pairs with peace, noting preparedness costs as vital insurance while avoiding European quarrels. It cites Bluefield Telegraph and Portland Journal as voicing cautious support for Roosevelt and outlines a GOP need for a strong, electable candidate to defeat him.
Anne Farnaworth fights a wrongful heir claim by To Farley and the gang over Luke Farnsworth’s estate. She travels to deter angry fishermen from harming Farnsworth property as her uncle Lee Farnaworth lies recovering from a gunshot wound amid a quarrel. Tecla Sorkt, the nurse, visits the injured heir.
Anne endures prison, doubt, and a nerve wracking trial for a crime she may not have committed. John’s absence haunts her, Tecla shares troubling hints, and Nikki Nielsen faces a verdict as the courtroom drama unfolds amid seaside air and fog of uncertainty.
Hollywood the starlet Helen Mack, formerly a child actress from Rock Island set, says her ambition is not merely fame but to be so essential that producers cry at the thought of not having her in their films. She cites Leslie Howard and Claudette Colbert as benchmarks of a true actress who can dominate a project.
A garbled column mentions the Ethiopian Lions moving to begin their offense while noting a doctor cannot reach a sick mule in a hick town. Witty asides about Mack, Stefansson jokes on a meat diet, and quips about underground mysteries and a detained comedian in Soviet Russia frame a scattered, opinionated piece.
A sharp exchange shows an expert politician praising a candidate for a department post who supposedly can do nothing. The official replies that this would simplify matters since there would be no need to train him.
