(Official City, State and Ceun‘y Newspeper) MESSAGE TO VALHALLA ‘When Stonewall Jackson’s body lay in state in the + capitol at Richmond, Va., in the spring of 1863, a haggard Confederate officer, fresh from the bitter struggle of Chancellorsville, paused before the casket and remarked: “If today you meet with Ceesar, tell him we still make war.” ‘That old quotation comes to mind once more as the French republic gives final honors to the body of Ferdinand Foch—Foch who commanded more soldiers than ‘any man who ever lived, and who brought to a victorious close the most terrible war the earth ever wit- nessed. ‘The warrior has always had the headlined position on the page of history. From the time of Alexander down to the present, the list of men who have won honor and fame has contained a constant percentage of fighters. Methods of combat and schools of strategy have changed. ‘The Macedonian phalanx has evolved, in long centuries Of warfare, into the infantry platoon with bayonets and hand grenades. But the old principle remains un- changed. Men have always been willing to be killed or mangled at the order of their leader. q Never yet has the program been interrupted. Men have devised elaborate new ways of killing one another; Hannibal, for instance, with his war elephants, would have appreciated the modern tank, which serves much the: same purpose. But they have not yet even come close to finding a new way of settling their differences. ‘War is still the accepted method, and the soldier still has plenty of employment. "The passing of Foch brings this fact home somehow. ‘When he was hurling his masses of French, British and American soldiers at the German lines in that last great offensive, and men were dying by the scores of thou- sands to bring tlie war to an end, there was a great hope *: in the world; a-hope that this frightful struggle might, ~ fn some way, bring about a better day, in which the ne- cessity for war.and destruction could be avoided. Out of this war, it was‘felt, could be made to grow a new order that would be wiser and less bloody. ‘That hope is not so strong now. It is not Foch’s fault. He'was given the job of bringing the old war to ‘&n end, so that victory could be made the foundation for @ new era, He did his part magnificently. His fame ‘will always be secure in that select circle of strategists that includes such soldiers as Napoleon and Lee. But after his job was finished, the rest of us slipped up. We let the idealism and high resolves of wartime Coxe out of us, and dropped back into acceptance of the old ways. So now, 10 years after the war, we find our- + selves little nearer an enduring peace than we were % before. 4 It would be pleasant to be able to say that Foch will Prove to have been the last of the great generals. But , we can’t be that optimistic. As Foch goes to his grave, can do little but quote the Confederate officer: ‘Sg “If today you meet with Caesar, tell him we still make war.” : THE ‘THRILL CULT In few weeks the public will find another incentive ¢ buying Monday’s newspapers in the lists of week- traffic deaths and drownings at bathing resorts. will reach appalling numbers this year is in- ‘The age of miracles is not this age. months hence, the nation, looking sadly and regret- thousands of preventable accidents, fatal, will again be repeating the same old story, “It might have been.” How often it will be said between and autumn “If I only ” and “If he only ——.” Remembering the death toll of former years, there are many motorists and bathers who are now vowing to risk neither life nor property during the approaching -motoring and swimming season.

Lindbergh ‘will give up flying and stay on the ground, where things are rela- tively safe, and Mr. Ford agrees with him. Both men feel that Lindbergh is too valuable to the country to risk his life any more. We sympathize with this point of view, but we have a feeling that these two well-wishers are going to be disappointed. Somehow we can’t picture the famous young flyer giving up his wings. Flying seems to be second nature with him. He couldn’t stop if he wanted to. And, as far as danger is concerned, there is this to say: Lindy has done flying that is as perilous as can be imagined, and nothing remotely approaching an ac- cident has ever befallen him. It ought to be obvious by now that he has something like a charmed life. THE STATE PARK MOVEMENT Announcement by Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur that the ninth annual meeting of the National Conference on State Parks will be held early in May at Clifty Falls State Park, Indiana, serves to emphasize anew the great service states can do their citizens by setting up park areas. The state park is a comparatively recent development. In every state are many areas which, while not quite of national park caliber, are nevertheless worth preserv- ing as recreational and scenic spots for the use of all the’ people. The great increase in the number of state parks in the last decade is a highly eficouraging sign. No state can establish too many. Each additional one: that is set up means wholesome enjoyment for many thou- sands of people. : Parents should be very careful not to let daughter catch them reading the awful books she buys. f pe 1 otk he The reason you shouldn't argue with a fool is that you cannot beat the other man at his own game.

Until 1538, it stood before the old home of the popes, the Lateran <asilica. In that year, at Michaelangelo's suggestion, it was moved to he open square on the top of the Capitoline hill. Under the straight-chiseled nose of the second century -ruler of Rome have passed Ostrogoth invaders from beyond the Danube, Germans from the north, republican rioters | >. from other Italian cities, the Red. Shirts. of Garibaldi, the Black Shirts of Mussolini, and, at one time or snother, the troops of ai Western Europe. War and revolt had |* apparently failed to budge him until now, under the Fas- cist dictatorship, the Romans have discovered that the old emperor's right foot has dropped to a point nearly four inches below his left, so that he seems to be pre- paring to get out of his stirrups to come down among the men of Rome! : As a matter of fact, the phenomenon has occurred once or twice before during the last 200 years. In these instances, however, there was little public stir. Lovers of the past saw to it quietly that the old emperpr was righted on his steed; lead was poured into the heels of thu charger to increase the statue’s weight and maintain its equilibrium. But under Mussolini’s gov- ernment, matters are handled differently; reminders of the glory of the Roman past are plucked from their cob- webs, burnished bright, and set up for all to see, and any threat to the stability ofa recognized landmark of the empire is met, not by the dilettante efforts of a few amateurs of classic art, but by the organized power of the state. This restless horseman of Rome ‘: therefore the object of excited popular discussion; engineers and architects have been called in to inspect: his position, | and the new governor of Rome has appointed a-special commission to watch over the movements of Marcus Aurelius in the name of the twentieth century 8. P. Q. R. ON GETTING THE BLUES (Philadelphia Bulletin) Everyone gets discouraged at times. This is true even of those persons who are not beset by material lacks, and of these who are most self-sufficient. Discourage- ment is an integral part of human nature, and an im- Portant part, too. Cee Its causes are actually too numerous to count. Often it is based on imagined attempt of certain resparchers after scientific facts to impute to the telephone girl a peculiar susceptibility to change in the weather, making her serve as a barometer. It is just the other way, the hello girl’s defender as- serts.

FAIRNESS By ALICE JUDSON PEALE To sacrifice one’s selfish wishes for the happiness of others commonly has been regarded as a high spiritual achievement. Yet in real life nobody loves a martyr. For, human nature being what it is, the martyr tends to carry with him a slightly curdled dis- Position born of the fact that he is not happy, and that the world has not recognized the beauty of his sac- rifice with offerings of love and Praise. And he who walks about with an acid face and a suffering expression makes no contribution to the happi- ness of his fellows.

Chewing Gum Question: Mrs. J. H. asks: “Can you tell me something about chewing- gum? What is its effect upon diges- tion. and of what is it composed?” Answer: Chewing-gum was origin- ally made from spruce gum or re- fined paraffin-wax variously flavored, but chewing-gum at the present time is made from chickle, a gum obtained from the milky juice secreted by the bark of the sapodilla tree which also bears one of the most delicious of the tropical fruits. This gum was used by the Indians for chewing many years before it was known commer- cially. It makes a very good substitute for rubber, but brings a better price from the chewing-gum industry, and is ee oan sorta Mest used for this purpose. In the chewing-gum fac- tory blocks of the dried chickle are thoroughly refined and sterilized, and mixed with sweetening and various flavors. Chewing-gum stimulates the secretion of saliva and various other digestive fluids and for this reason may be used after a meal, often tak- ing the place of dessert to an ad- vantage. Its use assists in developing the muscles of the jaw and probably | poetad in preserving the teeth and eeping them clean. It is best not to use chewing-gum immediately pre- ceding a meal or simply from habit. tyr through hig martyrdom culti- vates selfishness ‘on the paft of others while he himself develops the doubtful virtue of self-righteousness. The mother is wise who leaves out the word sacrifice from her preach: ments, and perhaps the word unself- ishness as well, substituting an ideal of fairness in their place. Fairness is a virtue which may be practiced day by day, which the whole experi- ence of life proves to be both sound and practical. It is entirely proper to train Billy to take turns with his brother in the use of the new express wagon, but it is foolish to expect him to give it up to him for a whole morning. ‘When mother finds that there is only a pint of ice cream with which to serve five eager children, it is better for her to divide it evenly into Portions which serve everyone, in- cluding herself, than to give it all to the children while she does without. $e BARBS - | od Harvard's intellectual squad has issued a general challenge but can’t find any competition.

Secretary. of State Seward had made.the offer a few days before, subject tothe. president's approval, and: provided that the cession be “free.and unencumbered by any res- ervations, privileges, franchises, grants, or possessions by any asso- ciated companies, whether corporate or incorporate, Russian or any other.” The day following receipt of the cablegram, Seward and the Russian minister signed the treaty of purchase without further negotiations. In May, the Senate ratified it, and on June 20 the president issued the customary Proclamation. Alaska has proved itself to be one of the mbst profitable financial in- vestments any government has ever made. Exactly 20 years after the pur- chase, in 1887, gold was discovered in the Klondike, and fisheries, furs, silver and copper have since yielded vast sums each year. In 1927 the estimated revenue from. copper alone was exactly the amount the United States paid for the terri- tory in 1867.
