But we're paying a pretty high price for it, now and then just as Shrewsbury has paid a high price for its im- proved street. A road, after all, is nothing but a pathway for getting from one place to another. It’s important to be able tc meéke the trip speedily and easily, of course; but it isn't quite as important as we sometimes think. There are times when it’s better to idle along the way. The man who gets the most good out of his trips isn’t | the man who is always in a break-neck hurry.

World tragedies have to come very close before we react in the spirit of brotherly sympathy.

Perhaps it's foolish to say so much simply because somebody cut down a couple of shade trees. But the thing is so indicative—indicative of the national traits that make Europeans say that we in America do not know how to get true happiness and contentment out of life. Beauty and sentiment are more important’ than we think. If we only realized this, we'd let our auto traffic move more slowly—and enjoy the shade trees by the way.

The present structure is wholly unfit for the transaction of public business, an eyesore to a progres- sive community, unsafe, unsanitary and a menace to the preservation of records whose loss would mean confusion twice confounded.

It is estimated that every adult worker in the world loses an average of one to three weeks’ work each year from the ordinary cold in the head, and there is undoubtedly an average of two or three weeks of ineffiency from this very plebian disease. It is said that colds cost the city of Chi- cago more than $20,000,000 a year from loss of work in industries. Although probably the most com- mon of all the diseases, very little is known by doctors about what causes a cold, since they have never keen able to discover that it has any spe- cific bacteria, Everyone, however, is familiar with the symptoms of hav- ing the head stopped up, the eyes throbbing and hurting, with a hoarse- ness in the throat, difficulty in breathing through the nose, then the hot burning sensation as the nose be- gins to run. ld may really prove serious by ening the constitution so that dangerous diseases may develop.

Through the long centuries we are acquiring, little by little, the capacity to be worried in that man- | ner more and more greatly. Sorae day, many years! hence, things of that kind will bother us so that we sha!!! rise up and end them, for the simple reason that no stranger can be miserable without making us miser-} able, too. When that day comes we shall have something ver like the brotherhood of man on earth. But just at Present it is still a long way off. Confusion on Both Sides An American newspaperman, cabling from Russia the mews thai the Russians are expecting a communist re- Volution to break out in America almost any day now, adds that the Russians have a most distorted view of America. Having been fed for years on propaganda, he says, they ‘know nothing whatever about real conditions in the Uni- ted States, and swallow whole the most incredible state- ments about us in their newspapers. This revelation is in keeping with what the visits hhere last summer of alleged Russian farming experts swould lezd one to expect. The experts lamentably failed to understand American agricultural methods and labor- saving devices. They proved to be as unsophisticated as @ child. What was a header? Did farmers make then) themselves? And so on. With access to real facts shut off by the strict soviet Censorship what else could be expected other than crass ignorance of America, its motives and its spirit? However, America also is left to speculate about the real facts about Russia. While the soviet keeps its own sub- jects in the dark as to this country, it likewise bars, more or less, the dissemination of knowledge as to its own activ- ities. Russia's rulers prefer to work in international dark- ness. America, knowing this, always has a feeling of sus- Picion about the land of the czars. Perhaps Russia’s peo- ple know as little of the intelligence and progress and fraternal world spirit among us as we know of their sinister communism end oppression, inflicted on them- selves. Utility Sacrifices Beauty In the town of Shrewsbury, N. J., there stood until recently a fine row of 13 sycamore trees, planted seven " Years before the Revolutionary war by patriots as sym- bols of the colcnies. \ Recently the head of the town council decided that two Of these trees were menaces to traffic, and forthwith had thém chopped down and removed. Shrewsbury promptly got indignant and passed around ® petition of protest. But the trees, being down, could not | be réstored, and the petitions served no purpose except #0 exprss the citizens’ anger. ‘Tne whole thing, of course, is a small matter. But it fs rather typical of the way we do things. It illuminates the scale of values by which the whole nation, as well as this one New Jersey burgher, generally acts.

Especially when they learned that his chief revelation ended to show that Great Britain had warlike de- | ns on this country, was exposed as a satire and joke written by an English author. Shearer is a jingo of the worst type. Time was when a lecturer of his stamp could pack a hall anywhere he| chose to speak. That that time has passed indicates that we are getting more intelligent. The American public evidently has taken Mr. Shearer's measure. Secretary Davis of the Labor department proposes an eight-hour day for women in the home. Merely a cam- paign promise ladies—don’t get excited! About the height of redundancy would be to say that a politician in Mexico is buried, and then add “po- litically.” Woman seldom gets a thrill except the first time sh> is married and the first time she enters a barber shop. The authoritative word from Paris for early 1930 is that legs will be about the same length. | Editorial Comment The Official Woman (Des Moines Debnne-Canital) 6 Paternalism of the most frightful sort is augeesten by the announcement of proper proportions for the female form as determined by the bureau of standards ofthe federal government. These bureaucrats have decreed that the woman with a 34-inch bust is the normal, and with this fig- ure goes a 28-inch waist and 37-inch hips. The old ideal, the perfect 36, must have a 3i-inch waist and 39- inch hips. aoe This is evidently part of the new protectionist movement, a nationalistic declaration against the French dress designers, who now mold the female form to their own ideas, and change it frequently. But the compulsion of style is not the same thing as the compulsion of our own government. Surely no one would contend that the human figure shall con- form to the arbitrary wish of whatever administra- ower. When our ideals of beauty get involved with our ideas of politics, it will be a sad day. The Cairn of Remembrance (New York Times) From the cairn found by Professor Gould on Mount Betty in latitude 85 degrees 8 minutes south, Roald Amundson, who had given up his life to save others, spoke again. It was a “sacred relic” to the men of Ad- miral Byrd’s mountain party, and, standing bareheaded before it, their emotion profound. At the spot eighteen years before on his return from the Pole Amundsen built the cairn of loose rock and deposited “an account of our expedition,” besides seventeen liters of paraffin and “two packets of matches.” It was a landmark on the trail to and from the Pole, but who could know whether it would not be obliterated by Antarctic storms? “Possibly,” wrote the Norwegian in his book, “some one may find use for these things in the fu- ture.” In that savage wilderness the note of doubt was naturally sounded. It seemed to be sppeopesate that explorers with sleds should come upon cairn of remembrance in the new age of the airplane, men who, like Amundsen and his stout companions, had fought their way on foot against the elements. Consider that Laurence Gould and his little band stood in the very tracks of the great captain and pon- dered upon ‘his achievements in both polar regions, mourning, too, that he had vanished without trace in the mists of the Arctic Ocean off the coast of his be- loved country. Fate, they must have felt, was inscru- table. There before them was a monument to Amund- sen, not so regarded when the stones were raised. With a consciousnss that it might long endure, they restored the stones to their original places, first taking» out for copying the “account” which was barely allu to in Amundsen’s narrative, And now it is given to the -| world by the see of radio, which links the Far North with the Antarctic in a mere fragment of time. “With the Norwegian message to him who should find was placed in the cairn “a note telling briefly about the Byrd expedition and the geological party.” And so the record was brought down almost to the year 1930. _. . The time may come when other explorers will vis- it the “cai..: of remembrance.” If the trail ever becomes well traveled, it would be ptine to raise on the flank of Mount Betty a substantial memorial to Roald Amun¢:en that would defy tempest and time; e Ra BEGIN HERE TODAY JUDITH CAMERON, typist New York publi HT, her employer. widower, ter, TONY, 1d refuses to listen. eve ans . 8 and Arthur swim and golf enjoy all land: follown, when there is a knock NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VIII the entrance way as Knight pulled the door back. “A message for you, sir,” he said.

Something had caught at her heart—it seemed as though the heart had stopped beat- ing-at mention of Tony's name. The jumble of words was meaning. less but finally they straightened out into sentences, Then Judith understood. : The message had been sent to Knight’s business address in New York and there forwarded. It read: “Sailing tonight on Paris. Meet me in New York Tuesday. Helena tried to boss me too much. Your loving daughter prefers you to Eu- rope. Much, much love, TONY.” “Oh!” said Judith, It was the only thing she seemed able to say. Arthur crumpled the envelope which he was still holding and shot. the ball of paper into a basket. He shook his head drearily. “Tony’s been up ‘to mischief!” he sighed. “Helena’s my sister. She was supposed to chaperone Tony during @ year on the conti- nent. Lord knows what they’ve rowed about!

Five short days and she was to stand face to face with Tony Knight! Two days more and they would turn their backs on this par- adise, these islands of turquoise and gold, The honeymoon—their beautiful, utterly, utterly perfect honeymoon—would be ended. Ahead would be New York. Judith closed her eyes and caught her hands together as though in agonized, silent prayer. A minute later she turned about Baily to say to her husband: “Aren't you going to send & re- ply “No,” he seid, “Let her worry a bit. It'll be good for her. Don't you see I can't give in? Helena must have been right, of course. The only time in the’ world I can discipline Tony is when she's away from me.

She crept closer to her husband. “Arthur,” she said softly. “Say you loveme—" , - Knight's arm slipped about his lovely young wife. Warm, linger- ing kisses touched her forehead, her golden hair and then swiftly, hotly, he found her lips.

Finally Arthur suggested he should be dressing and getting over to Hamilton. “Two or three little errands I want to take care of, dear. Any- thing I can do for you?” She told him there was nothing. Judith was quite willing to remain inside while he was absent. She knew steamer arrangements for their return were the “two or three little errands.” After he had gone she dressed leisurely, taking particular care with every detail of, her toilet.

Judith Knight felt that she must remember every blessed detail of that picturesque landscape. She must, she must! And though there were wrench- ings at heart to leave it all behind and walk up the gangplank, still the good ship was familiar, too, and seemed to offer friendly greet- ing. There were men and women about with whom they had become acquainted at the hotel, As the band struck up its spirited music and the ship eased gradually seaward, Judith and Arthur Knight were both at the railing, joining in the cheers of departure. : The’ six weeks’ honeymoon bad shrunk to only one. That first afternoon they spent on the sun deck, joining in ship tennis and shuttleboard at which Judith made very, very bad scores so that Arthur jeered at her. To make up for this he had to buy her very special cakes at teatime. Judith seemed overwrought with nervous energy. She wanted to be doing something every minute. Bridge was too quiet for her and 80 they danced after dinner. She wore her black gown and was easi- ly the most attractive woman present. Partners flocked about her.

I am tak- ing also voice, and find it is a little hard for me.” Answer: It is much better for you to eat your dinner after you have had your choir practice. Most famous singers eat very lightly before a con- cert, and many do not eat anything after breakfast on that day, finding they have better voice control and clearer tones when singing while their stomachs arc empty.
