In a way it is. Even the swine are in the picture, for Rumania is a country given to the raising of these. Perhaps that is the reason the ignorant peasantry have accepted the immoral scapegoat as their king. As persons dealing with swine, they are of a mentality that does 250 not strain at the escapades of one who is anointed of East Is East, West Is West When Kipling made his famous remark that.

The India- reat Britain controversy presents an interesting study or the rest ofthe ‘world’ which ‘watches a wizened, srown-skinned old.man lead his followers on a back- ‘vard crusade ..',, or maybe a forward one for them. ‘The basis of. the trouble very probably is found in neither country, Kipling explained it. “East.is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.” Organized Charity - Bismarck ‘long'ago learned: that. the impersonal ma- shine is the best means of handling need among the yn- ‘ortunate. It has supported the activities of its Salva- pion Army dnd its Community Chest for that reason. Sharity always has to take into consideration the pride pf some of those whose tragedies require the aid of the “ending hand.

The keynote of every speech centered around @ de- rire to help poverty-stricken and disorganized families iget back on the road to self-respect and self-support. - This organization is ceaselessly busy caring for the shousands whose stories of bravery are pitifully shabby lind pitifully gallant.

If s man had a family it was God, for that is the fiction which, still persists in Ru- mania as to the personality of a king. At any rate, after Carol had turned away from his royal wife, Princess Helen, and his little son, Michael, and had riotously spent a vast sum of money in living with a runaway wife of a general of the Rumanian army as his concubine, he returned and the kingdom of stable cleaners killed the fatted calf and put the purple robe around his shoulders. After all, if a king has a king- dom it is his place to stay at home and annex his sig- nature to state papers when it is necessary, instead of getting himself talked about all over the world, they are thinking. _ 80 King Carol II is back and little Prince Michael can play marbles and leapfrog instead of watching the other youngsters through the palace windows. ‘The way in which Rumania has welcomed back the er- rant, profligate Carol is illustrative of the almost divine worship which the nation has for its rulers, The old divine right of kings, which stated that they were God- givert, and hence could do no wrong, has not been entire- ly discarded.’ Carol’s subjects, while they do not condone his imprudent adventures, can still forgive them enough to anoint him as their ruler. The Rumanian situation should make every American more fully appreciate the privilege: of living in a coun- try where men’s deeds eléct'them to their offices; where they win.their spurs instead of finding them polished and waiting at birth; where worth, not birth, is master. Electricity on Trains Increasing demand for électric power with which to operate devices designed f add to the safety and com- fort of passengers is providing a problem as to how to furnish sufficient electricity on passenger trains at all times to meet’ requirements, according to a report sub- mitted to the eleventh annual convention of the mechanical division of the American Railway associa- tion, in the session at Atlantic City. Before the advent of electric refrigeration, cigarette lighters, pressing irons, radios, electric water coolers and heaters, and various other equipment requiring electrical current, sufficient power could be generated on each passenger car by means of an axle génerating system to. supply the electric lights in that car. “With the increasing use,” said the report, submitted by the committee on locomotive and car lighting, “of elec- tric current on our passenger train cars for lighting and other purposes and the absolute necessity for a full sup- ply of that current at all times, it is quite evident that, particularly in the northern sections of the country, an improvement over the belt drive as. now used is neces- sary. Where snow and ice are present, belt slippage has become fatal to good and satisfactory generator per- formance. When snow and ice are not present, the age arrangements of belt drive are making first class rec~ ords-as to efficiency and economical maintenance.” Railroads in the United States and Canada are con- ducting experiments with devices whereby all electricity required for a passenger train is produced by a specially installed generator located on the locomotive; with “a storage battery on each car. The railroads, if these tests-| Prove satisfactory, may adopt some system of this na- ture.

In learning our baying ‘ha its, we are éducated by billboards, by news- paper and magazine advertising, by movies, by radios, by lectures, by ru- mors and by many other methods. All of the large manufacturi companies are busily trying to teac! us to keep on buying certain products which we have already formed the habit of asking for, or are. trying to out to buy some new product fresh-on fhe market. Many of these.products are undoubt- edly good and, fortunately, most of the advertising presented to us is subjected to a scrupulous inspection by reliable business organizations. Nevertheless, one cannot believe everything one hears or sees, and the and ears open to all new things, but censor your observations with @& severe measuring by your reasoning powers.
