(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives . SMALL, SPENCER & LEVINGS (Incorporated) Formerly G. Loetn Payne CHICAGO NEW YORK Expecting a New War i It doesn’t make a great deal of difference whether there is very much truth in the recent “exposure” of a so-calld conspiracy by capitalistic nations to concoct a war against Soviet Russia. One's first impulse is to conclude that the Russians were either badly deluded or deliberately concocted a whopper. But that isn’t especial- ly important. ‘The important thing is that the rulers of Russia are in such a frame of mind that they expect some such outbreak of war to take place. Nor are they alone in that predicament. There are rumors and expectations of war in half a dozen European capitals. Cabinets are ready to listen to tall tales and believe them. Distrust and fear are Europe's dominant emotions. i That is a hard thing for us on this side of the water to grasp. Over here, a war can be seen coming a long way off. It takes shape, with considerable deliberation, before our eyes. But Europe has a different situation. Peace can change to war almost overnight. The world is full of subterranean rivalries and hatreds. An unlucky chance—such, for instance, as a pistol shot in an obscure Balkan town—can bring trouble on a moment's notice. For that reason this latest news from Russia is dis- turbing. Plotting a war against the Soviets may be, and/ probably is, the last thing that the governments of Eng- land and France would undertake; but the Russian gov- ernment is perfectly ready to believe in such a plot—and, conversely, the governments of the capitalistic nations are almost equally ready to believe such things of Rus- sia, or even of each other. No one needs to be told that such an atmosphere does not make for peace. Disarmament conferences are per- fectly silly as long as that frame of mind prevails. No government that expects a war at any moment is going to reduce its army and navy—unless, by some lucky chance, it can hornswoggle its neighbors into making greater reductions. ‘Thus history seems to be preparing to repeat itself. The years that led up to 1914 are being duplicated again. Peace gets voluble lip service but nothing more. Man- kind, having just failed to obliterate itself in one great orgy of slaughter, is getting ready to make @ second, more effective attempt. It may be that there is a deep-moving and invisible current for peace that is stronger than we think. There is just the possibility if Europe came again to the verge of war the different governments would hear from) their people in unmistakable terms and would find some way out of the impending conflict. But there is no evi- dence to support such @ supposition. The race gives no sign that it learned anything in the fighting that ended 12 years ago. The outlook, then, seems made to order for the pes- simists. The situation overseas is gloomy. Surveying it, one is impelled to thank providence for the Atlantic ocean. A Confidential Matter The coming session of congress will be asked to pass ®& law authorizing the census bureau to furnish state Officials with the names and addresses of illiterate per- sons, to be used confidentially in campaigns to reduce illiteracy. Under existing law, this information cannot be given out. The proposal is a good one, and deserves to pass; ; nevertheless, one may hope that it will not set a preced- ent. The information that a citizen is compelled by law to give a census enumerator is, and ought to be, highly confidential; a secret, so to speak, between the citizen and his Uncle Sam. It ought to remain that way; must, in fact, if the census is to have any value. | This particular measure may be a good one. But congress will do well to insist that there shall be no more moves in a similar direction. If Germany Should Default Former Ambassador James W. Gerard's prediction that Germany will repudiate her war debts within 18 months ‘Serves, usefully, to call attention once more to the fact. that the problems raised by the World war are not by ‘any means all solved. It is easy to see how tangled and vexatious interna- tional politics would becomeif Mr. Gerard's prediction should come true. Among other things, as he points out, the United States would have scant hope of ever getting back its loans from its former allies. An enor- > mous amount of rearranging in the world of interna- tional finance would become necessary, and there is little doubt that it would breed a good deal of bad feeling. There are sound reasons for believing that Mr. Gerard was no more pessimistic than the facts warrant. If 60, it might be a good thing for us to begin now to make up! our minds what we are going to do, if and when that situation arises. The End of Local Pride One of the things that modern America takes pride in! 4s the fact that provincialism and sectionalism are| rapidly vanishing. Automobiles, newspapers, magezines, radios and similar contrivances have widened every man’s horizon. Ja 2 way this is an excellent thing. It ts doing away | with narrowness and prejudice. The man who lives on ® distant farm is not so apt to think that the city is a! fabulous place ot rampant sin and gilded wickedness; he has been there himself and knows better. People | re not “sot in their ways” as they used to be, firmly | opposed to any change; they know how the world is moving, and if New York takes up a new invention or @ new custom today, the rest of the country will have it tomorrow. However, there is another side of it. Provincialism can ead to warped minds and cramped horizons, but it can also lead to healthy strength and solid, well-rooted tradi- tions. It can be expressed in ignorance and suspicion, but it can also be expressed in a wholesome sectional pride and a broad understanding and appreciation of one’s immediate background. A generation ago most Americans could be recognized Co. BOSTON | | business houses. Another would be to force many con- ‘it would not necessarily wipe out the postal deficit, and Carolinian. The middle westerner had nothing tn com- mon with the man from the Rockies. A man from Cali-| fornia differed profoundly from the Texan. Of course, there are still differences in speech, in) minor customs and sometimes in dress and stature. But the old differences are gone. The man from Vermont and the man from Missouri think very much alike, to- day. They read the same books and magazines, listen to the same radio programs, buy the same kinds of goods in their <torcs—and, as like as not, get in their automobiles and tour through each other's states in the summer time. Ludendorff’s Bad Dream General Erich Ludendorff, German army commander during the great war, seems to have established himself as the world’s greatest pessimist by his recent prediction that a new war would break out in 1932, with Germany, England, Austria, Hungary and Soviet Russia lined up against France, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Rumania. His added assertion tnat this would destroy German civilization entirely only intensifies the gioom. However, it is doubtful if anyone will lose much sleep | over this prognostication. Anyone who can visualize! Germany, England and Red’ Russia teaming up as allies} in the immediate future must have an imagination that is more feverish than healthy; and to imagine France leading a coalit‘on into action against such a weird com- bination ts no beiter. There are war clouds enough over Europe, to be sure; but Ludendor‘f’s nightmare hardly seems worth think- ing about twice. ‘ | In the Hall of Fame i A paragrapher in the Nation points out that Walt! ‘Whitman has finally won elevation to the Hall of Fame! of New York University—has won it, so to speak, by the skin of his teeth, without a single vote to spare. The news makes one wonder just what qualifications a poet; must haye to win a really enthusiastic admission to that) classic shrine. i All of which, of course, is just by way of remarking on the perverseness of the public in regard to Whitman. The man was the voice’ of Democracy, if ever there was one—yet Democracy ignores him. By the vast majority of Americans he is as unread today as he was 50 years ago, when no proper gentleman would have a copy of “Leaves of Grass” in his house. Probably half of the people who have read any of his works know him only as the author of stuff that is rather bold and outspoken. The number of Americans who really know him is com- paratively small. Yet he is probably the greatest poet America has; produced!

A Word to the Wiser (Hettinger County Herald) Worse than hectic preelection days are the depressing days which follow every election. At least half, and generally more than half the candi- dates at an election, lose out. Some of the candidates figure before they start the possibility. They get their minds ready to welcome victory or defeat as good sports- men should, but there are always a few less than 50 per cent of preelection candidates, who allow themselves some bitter reflections after the votes are counted and) they are counted out. Some unsuccessful candidates feel their hearts are breaking when the sad news is broken to them. Most feel terribly hurt when they lose and too many get a bit- ter fecling against their fellowmen. Having lost out in many eleciicns let us say to those to whom losing election is a new raw sore, that it’s a pretty geod plan to forget it. People liod about you? Sure, they always do, sometimes when there is no election at hand. Good friends do not tell you all the mean things said about you in private life. Political friends come trailing to candidates retailing and retelling slander. Perhaps you are not cut out for a politican. You are not if you cannot stand to lose, but if you like the game dcn’t whine. Hit the line again another time. You have learned things from your campaign that will be helpful if you are never again a candidate. You have met people who may have liked you and who will be glad another time to help you to an office—perhaps a better one than you sought. In your travels about the county you have learned more than you realized, and certain of your friends stood by you most loyally. You can show them you are a good sport. Good friends and true are rare things and Brecious. ‘ Don’t fill your heart and mind with revenge. Revenge is bad for the digestion. In years to come you may be abie to hurt the other fellow, but during that time you may ruin your disposition. Hating hurts the hater. Sir Thomas Lipton is one of the most popular and best beloved men in the world and he won his recognition as a sportsman by losing in a light and lofty manner. Herbert Hoover went to the white house but Al Smith went into the hearts of men. Losing is an experience which will make you better if it doesn't make you bitter. While offering congratulations to the successful can- didates, let us say a word of cheer to the leaders and kind words of praise for the good losers. The world loves success and there is an added sym- Pathy in the love for the successful loser. Cheer up, you candidates who were short some votes at the recent hustings. Within a year or two you may be glad you were not elected. Ferhaps, even with ail your gloom, you are today happier than Hoover. A Poor Time fox Raising Postal Rates (Minneapolis Tribune) The forthcoming annual report of Postmaster General Brown, it is now definitely known, will recommend an increase of the letter mail rate from 2 cents to 212 cents an ounce. This increase, in theory at least, would wipe out the postal deficit, In the fiscal year 1929 more than 17,000,- 000,000 pieces of first class mail were carried by the Postal service, with a resultant revenue of about $365,000,- 000. The 25 per cent rate increase, then, should net over $90,000,000, or a sum slightly in excess of the 1929 deficit. In practice, however, the half-cent increase would Probably have no such felicitous results, and for the simple reason that an increase in rates in any class of mail matter almost invariably results in less matter being mailed in that class. One effect of the higher rate would be to curtail the mail campaigns of many cerns from the first class letter to the postcard or to the unsealed letter at the third class rate of 1' cents for two ounces. The new rate, it seems fairly clear, would not be likely to result in a 25 per cent increase over the first class revenues of 1929. It might result in a 20 per cent gain of about $73,000,000, or a 15 per cent gain of about $55,- 000,000, or a 10 per cent gain of about $36,500,000, but might fall far short of attaining that goal. Whatever the gain here it would be offset to some extent by the additional expense of carrying more third class mail, which is handled at a loss. We are not so.sure that a letter mail rate increase at this time would be a wise move. If it is important that business and ‘-dustry expand their activities, that sales be stimulated and that the jobless be set to produc- ing again, it is certainly important that the widest pos- sible use of the mails be encouraged. That the new rate would tend to restrict this use and to handicap busi- ness in any program of expansion it might contemplate, seems almost certain. We do not believe that the postal deficit should be a matter for very serious concern unless waste and in- efficiency can be shown ta contribute to it. The postal service, after all, was created to provide a cheap and reliable mail service, and not primarily to produce revenue. It is chiefly important that such a service is in effect, and not that it has resulted, with the excep- tion of a very few years. in a considerable annual deficit. The move for higher first class rates, at least, seems poorly timed. We doubt ‘hat the country, at present @t a glance as belonging to one or another particular "ection.

I was glad he was gone. I knew he wasn’t halt as drunk as he tried to make out. but I knew that I couldn't bluff him out of his dis- guise of drunkenness. I wanted to, examine the floor that had inter-; ested him so much. | On my hands and knees 1 looked} at every spot on the floor. I had) several matches in my pocket and 1; lighted them so that I could see the, floor clearly. The floor was hard-; wood and had been varnished about; two months before. A carpet runner! went down the middle of the hall- way and there was about two feet: of bare floor on each side of it. My search netted me nothing} at first. I looked over every part of; the floor, except close to the door-' way. I figured that Brandford had’ likely found what he was looking: for and I started to get up when 1 struck a fresh match and looked at, the floor near the door. There in the thin dust that cov- ered the varnished floor was the outline of a footprint. It was large: and oblong—the same footprint I had seen on the chair in the kitch- enette and on the cellar stair. There was only one footprint and I thought that it faced the door, though it was difficult to tell which way those footprints faced. I got to my feet and tried the, door. It was unlocked and I opened: it and walked into the rear room of! the basement, which was a kitchen- ette. I didn’t try to turn on the; lights. I got down on my hands and knees and struck another match. The floor of the kitchen was covered with linoleum. [| looked for another footprint. but. was unable to find anything on the linoleum. I was still on my hands and knees with a lighted match in my hand when I heard something behind me that, sounded like a sharp gush of wind.

Letters enst sot exsed GET YOUR WINTER VITAMINS Many people are actually starved for protective vitamins during the winter months when sunshine is scarce. You can consider that vita- mins are a form of life insurance. ‘When you eat them you protect your- self against various diseases. Prob- ably no one knows just what a vite- min is chemically, but it is known that they are necesary in the diet, and experiments have shown which foods contain the greatest amount of them. Here is a list of the different vitamins which have been discovered to date and some information about them: Vitamin A: Those who have colds and are rundown probably need more vitamin A. It enables you to resist certain afflictions of the eyes, sinuses, ears and kidneys. Without it your resistence to infections of the skin nd mucous membranes is lessened. This vitamin is stored in the body and is especially needed by growing children. It is found in raw milk, cream, evaporated milk, butter, cheese, egg yolk, raw carrots, codliver oil, bananas, yellow turnips, yellow corn, Hubbard squash, oranges, prunes, green peas, lettuce, canned and fresh tomatoes, sweet potatoes. All of the yellow and green vegetables are good sources. Vitamin B: This vitamin is not stored very long in the body. Conse- quently, some of the foods containing it should be eaten regularly. It is needed for a good appetite, and lack of it brings about a loss of weight and energy. It is vital to the health at all ages. This vitamin has lately been found to consist of two vitamins which are named Bl, or F vitamin, and B2, or G vitamin. Bl is de- stroyed by heat. B2 is relatively un- affected by heat. Bl prevents the disease, beriberi, in humans. A lack; of it may bring on nervousness and swollen joints. Builds bone and teeth by enabling the pody to use caicrin. and phosphorus. Children and nurs- Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health and diet addressed to him, care of The Tribune. Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. ing mothers especially need vitamin D. Vitamin D is found in the foods containing vitamin A which have been grown in or exposed to the sun- light. The effect of this vitamin is also obtained by using sunbaths. You can obtain certain cereals or foods which are called “irradiated,” mean- ing especially treated to produce this vitamin. Vitamin E: The absence of this vitamin causes sterility. A full list of the foods containing it is not known, although it is present in vegetables, oils, meat, lettuce and wheat germ. It is stored in the body to some extent. : QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Baby Won't Drink Question: Mrs. T. writes: “My baby is three months old and I can’t get her to take any water. Someone sug- gested sweetening the water, but I dc not know what quantity of sweetening to use. And should I use honey for this purpose? She is breast fed.” Answer: Your baby will not re. quire a great deal of water if she is taking enough milk. I do not advise the addition of sugar to water for en- couraging her to drink it. Logy After Breakfast Question: Mrs. J. C. writes: “In following your weekly mehus, would it be all right for me to shift the breakfast of one egg, Melba toast and spasms. B2 is a vitamin which pre- vents pellagra. ‘contained in whole grain cereals, milk, meat, green leafy vegetables, egg yolks, asparagus, dried lima beans, wholewheat bread, buttermilk, Taw cabbage, carrots, canned green corn, eggplant, fresh ham, lentils, oat- meal, oranges, parsnips, baked Irish potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, green peas, canned tomatoes, turnips, wal- nuts and yeast. Vitamin C: This vitamin is not stored in the body, consequently it is needed by everyone every day. Its use prevents scurvy and is essential to healthy gums. Nearly every one with pyorrhea is not getting enough vitamin C. This vitamin is destroyed by too much cooking. A lack of it is These vitamins are stewed fruit to luncheon, as I feel so logy when eating this in the morning. For a year or more I have made my breakfast of raw fruit only.” Answer: The reason I prescribe the heavy breakfast is to allow a greater length of time to elapse be- tween that meal and dinner, the heavy meals. There would naturally be a slight loginess because of the change of diet. Instrument for Massaging Question: Mrs. K. L. writes: “Re: cently I saw a small instrument that massages the body by hand and it looked very good to me.

Today Is the Anniversary of ; : GARFIELD’S BIRTH On Nov. 19, 1831, James A. Gar- field, 20th president of the United States, was born in a log cabin at Hiram, O. He was left fatherless when two years of age and his early schooling was frequently interrupted by periods of labor necessary for earning the means of support and education. He finally succeeded in graduating from Williams college with high honors in 1856. He taught Latin and Greek for a period, studying law in the mean- time and was admitted to the bar in 1861. His political career began in 1859 when he was elected as a Republican to the state senate. During the Civil war he rose from colonel to major general through his heroism in bat- tle. In 1880 he was elected to the U. S. Senate and in the same year was elected president of the United States. After holding office a few months, he was shot by an assassin in a Wash- ington railway station. He is buried ineCleveland, where his tomb is marked by a memorial erected in 1890 by public subscription at a cost of about $225,000. Harry A. Garfield, son of the late president, is president of Williams college. [BARBS _| Fordham university students are reported mourning the death of their football mascot, a pet ram.
