A short time ago three gunmen invaded a rich man’s home in an Ohio suburb and tried to rob a party that was in progress there. One of the guests at the party was a young Princeton university senior, Miller Wilki+ son. He refused to be cowed by the invaders’ guns. Instead he taunted them. “You guys are afraid to shoot —why don’t you start something?” he jeered. Then he boldly sprang on one of the robbers and grappled with him. Shots were fired, and young Wilkison was killed. Oddly enough, most of the writers who have com- mented on this tragedy have confined themselves chiefly to sage shakings of the head. “It was a very foolish thing to do. Never resist an armed holdup man. The best thing to do is to submit quietly and thank Heaven that you escape with your life’— ‘That is the way most of the comments run. * It’s quite true, of course. Fighting with a gunman when you yourself have no weapon is dangerous business. As a general rule it is much better to let the gunman have what he wants and say nothing. It is considerably bet- ter to lose your pocketbook than your life. All very true. And yet—who can read of this young university student’s defiant attack without feeling | quick thrill of admiration for the gallant young man? Sidelight on Politics i For a revealing commentary on politics as it is prac- ticed in the United States today, we refer you to a recent news dispatch from Washington touching on the ap- Proaching congressional election. The dispatch was written by Ray Tucker, one of the capital’s best-informed correspondents. After remarking that the Democrats believe they have a good chance to win control of both the house and the senate, Mr. Puck- zy | et remarks: “Democratic leaders admit they are not enthusiastic over the prospects of capturing either branch. They would prefer to let the party in power retain 1, but to have such strong representation that they can harass the administration's legislative program, with the ald of the G. O. P. insurgents, and enter the 1932 nation- al contest with the argument that President Hoover's four years have been barren*of accomplishment.” ‘That brief paragraph tells a great deal about Ameri- can politics. It explains a lot about the low esteem in which the average citizen tends to hold congressmen and senators. It is, in point of fact, as caustic an indict- ment of American politicians as you are apt to find any- where. One would suppose that a great political party, de- prived of power for a full decade, would be impatient to get back in the saddle. One would suppose—if one didn’t know American politics—that its leaders would be eagerly drawing up a program by which they could put their policies into effect when the day of control came. But are they? According to Mr. Tucker they are hop- ing that their victory won't be too overwhelming; hoping that they won't be given any real responsibility; hoping that they won't be called on to show just what remedies they have for the nation’s ills. All of this, of course, does not mean that the Dem- ocrats are any more grasping or short-sighted than the Repubjicans. On the contrary, it emphasizes once more that the chief difference between the two parties is that one is in and the other is out. The outs want to get back in, but (FEEL. $0 Good! VE GAINED S= 3 é [Bis tg coon oun pays EATING ~ WAS A FINE ART --— THIS WEEK! CN YIMAGINE aut they are valiantly praying that they won’t get in too soon. This anxiety demonstrates fairly clearly that they have no well-considered plan for governing the country. This has been the prevailing tone in American poli- tics for a number of years. As a result, we are not ruled by statesmen but by politicians. The desire to render Public service is not half so strong as the itch for a good Place at the trough. Clearly, if the “outs” had any definite policies in the field of government they would jump eagerly at the chance to get control of congress so that they could put them into effect. The Motorist’s Responsibility In a certain middle-western city the police lately have been stopping motorists at random and testing their brakes. The results they have obtained so far have been illuminating. Three out of four cars stopped were found to have defective or improperly adjusted brakes. It seems fairly obvious that no automobile can oper- | ate on a crowded highway with a due regard for public | safety unless its driver is able to stop it quickly on a sec- He was foolish and reckless, no doubt—but aren't that foolishness and that recklessness priceless qualities? In other words, we still list simple courage as one of the finest qualities a man can have; and it may be that we are right in doing so. The present age does not de- mand that quality as often as former ages did: Buttle, murder and sudden death are not as commonly met with now as they used to be. Most of us can live our lives through without ever once being compelled to choose between ignoble safety and heroic self-sacrifice. It is not as necessary for us to be brave as it was for our ances- tors. Yet the emergency does come, now and then; and when it comes the old standards still hold good. There are occasions when a man hes the chance to demonstrate his own nobility by forgetting his own life. This young Miller Wilkison had such a chance and he accepted it —and we honor him for it. Exciting But Unsavory The mess which has been stirred up with regard to the senate campaign fund investigating committee and Mrs, Ruth Henna McCormick is interesting enough but more than a little bit unsavory. What with hiring detectives, alleged tapping ,of teJe- phones, the breaking into correspondence files what- not, the plot has all the elements of a best seller ard one whether the participants in this fiasco do not themselves as actors on the public stage more than a little. ‘ Mrs. McCormick's admission that she hired detectives to upon Senator Gerald P. Nye, the committee chair- man, and her terse inquiry “What is Senator Nye going to do about it?” sounds as much like Old Mark Hanna himself as like his daughter. Incidentally, it opens the ” way for ancther and perhaps a more thrilling chapter, for the question certainly is apropos despite the fact that it may be a little strained and inconvenient. But what with charges of persecution from the lady who would be senator and a complaint that detectives are shadowing his every move from a gentleman who has attained that distinction, the public cannot help but be a little mystified and withal a little hurt. Probably the theme song will be worked out at the next senate session, now not so far away, with the dig- nified members of the senate singing a chorus of indig- nation much after the fashion of a Gilbert and Sullivan light opera. And then some folks wonder why the people as a whole have something akin to contempt for the senate, or perhaps amused toleration is a better word. Of course the business of investigating campaign ex- penditures doubtless is a very serious one to Senator ‘Nye. And the business of getting herself elected to the senate is even more serious to Mrs. McCormick. That is ‘as it should be. Political officeholders, like private citi- zens, are expected to take an interest in their jobs, and if, in polities, the job-entails the distribution of a certain amount of bunk and the kissing of « given number of | %' babies, it is all in the day’s work. The public has no trouble in understanding that. But this business of investigation is another matter. ” If corruption exists it should be uncovered. The people are entitled to cleanliness in politics because of the ef- fect of politics upon their daily lives, They may not be very vocal or very active in demanding it but they ap- prectate it. Never before in modern political history, however, has a situation similar to that which prevails in this case existed. It is amusing to read, but the serious side is// that these are not the antics of a group of children play- ing make-believe but serious business, engaged in by high public officials. Tt has the effect of making one wonder what this bus- Does it entail the hiring of detectives to trail a sena- tor, assigned to a job by the “greatest” something or other body in the world, as Mrs. McCormick admits? _ , One hopes not. Somehow it seems a challenge to the tics, will be a good thing if the public ever gets to whole truth about it, because the present ef- to undermine confidence in public offictaidom United States government. ond’s notice. Yet here we have the discovery that 75 per cent of all autos lack that essential qualification. It is a disturbing revelation. Every motorist owes it to himself as well as to his fellow citizens to keep his brakes in good condition. A rapidly moving automobile is a dangerous instrument un- less it is under perfect control—and no car is under per- fect control when its brakes are faulty.

I'll be tied up at the Wampas dinner until nine, but—”" “No thank you. Nine o'clock with makeup on. That means Anne Win- ter goes to bed at 10 at the very latest.” She added that it took her nearly two hours to put on a movie makeup. “Well,” said Rorimer, “you might let me call for you in the morning. I have to be at the studio at nine myself, and the Grand United lot is right on the way.” Anne assented and thanked him. “If you're sure it won't be any trouble.” “Not at all—see you at 8:30....

Collier loudly demanded a drink. “Or uo dinner for you, Rorimer. You're: being honored tonight; ‘Wampas is particular.” “And exclusive,” Donnelly added. “How are you, Rorimer?

It’s pathetic, you know it? It’s a damn sight worse than that; it's almost unbelievably tragic.” “I know it,” said Rorimer. “But once ina one of them crashes through,’ added, thinking of Anne Winter. “And for every one that does, think-of the hundreds that can’t bope for anything better than an occasional day’s work at seven and a half to $10!” Rorimer said, “Well, they can't say they weren't forewarned; no- body holds out any hopes of star dom to them.” “Yes, but this thing called Holly- wood has a glamour about it that's as irresistible to them as a snake's eyes for a fascinated bird.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ral ibies | Question: K.L.asks: “When one | has been bitten by a rabid dez, and | has had the Pasteur treatment, when is one sure that the danger of infec- tion is\over? Is it true that there is not a time limit, and that the incu- bation is similar to tuberculosis?” Answer: As nearly as I have been able to observe, if the symptoms of . rabies do not appear within a few weeks or in three months after the © Pasteur treatment, there is no possi- , * a bility of trouble occurring after a longer limit of time. It is m7 belief that those cases supposed to be caused by rabies after one or two years from the time of bite usually are caused by some other disease, such as epilepsy, and have no real connection. Child Always Tired Question: Mrs. K. F. writes: “We have a little three-year-old girl, seem- ingly in perfect health, but-is always complaining of being tired. She can- jnot walk very far, and her appetite is very poor. She takes orange juice every morning, and a pint of milk during the day, but does not care for much else. What can we do for her?” Answer: Growing children must be given plenty of foods containing calcium, silicon and iron. All of the cooked and raw greens contain these important minerals, and without these the child cannot build bone and nerve cells. If you will have your little girl take a short fruit fast of about four or five days, and follow this with a well balanced diet, including plenty of non-starchy vegetables, I feel sure that you will soon notice an improve- ment in her general health.
