Indeed, signs are begin- ning to appear which indicate that it is already leaving ‘us, slowly but surely. But so far no one seems to have thought very much about the problems we shall have when the depression is at last over. Tm that connection, a recent report from the Russel] Sage Foundation presents some suggestions of consider- able importance. It points cut, in the first place, that the end of the depression will find us in a reconstruction period which will present @ number of difficult problems. As John M. Glenn, general director of the Russell Sage Foundation, writes: “While no one can tell how long the present depression will continue, we know from rather full records of prev- fous unemployment periods that the ill effects of the present situation on individuals and families will be felt long after the business situation is improved. The sooner &@ community begins to organize to counteract these ill effects, the more speedy will be its recovery.” And Joanna C. Colcord, who wrote the Foundation’s report, adds: “Long after factory wheels are again turning, and to the average citizen it seems that things are back to normal, the social agencies will be trying to put together the pieces of human lives which have been shattered by the disaster. People with health of body and mind im- Paired, people whose courage and independence have been undermined, people at odds with society, broken and seattered family groups, will lie long as a heavy burden resulting from the period of unemployment. The need of the social agencies for increased public support will be Prolonged far past the period of acute distress. An emergency committee should make its plans with this fact well in mind.” The Foundation then recommends that employment committees continue their studies of unemployment af- ter the depression ends. For we have a good deal of un- employment in this country even in prosperous times— veasonal, technological and otherwise—and we have hever yet made any attempt to !earn its causes or devise @ cure for it. That, indeed, is the crux of the matter. We have had many periodic business depressions in Anerica, each one it in in dus But we have never learned anything from them. In good times we refuse to get ready for them—and they catch us, as this last one did, utterly unprepared. No Clemency During the past two years Governor William H. Adams of Colorado has not once utilized his prerogative of ex- eutive clemency, according to the governor's own state- ment to the Colorado general assembly. Governor Adams says that many cases were brought before him during those two years, but that he carefully investigated each case and concluded that he had no reason to set aside the sentence of the courts: ‘This is a curious record—possibly unique in all Amer- ica. It seems to indicate that, Governor Adams is a con- | scientious governor, anxious to do his duty as he sees it. But is it not a bit strange to think that not one case reached him in two years’ time in which an injustice had been done? The Colorado courts must be operating on & higher standard than those in most other states, ch wh ou! th: thi co! of of to What a Lynching Does ig It ought to be pointed out that most People who are Protesting against the recent lynching at Maryville, Mo., are not moved by any misplaced sympathy for the vic- tim of that outrage. After all, a man who beats a girl! to death does not deserve a great deal of consideration, and if this murderer's death was horrible, so was the death of his victim. ‘What causes indignation at the affair is the fact that it is a blow against all of society. The 2,000 men who} were in the mob that burned that negro alive will be! worse men, for the rest of their lives, than they were| before. You cannot give free vent to cruelty and blood- tust without damaging your whole being. { The main job of civilization, after all, is to lift man-| kind out of savagery—in Tennyson's words, to “move! upward, working out the beast.” A crime like this at Maryville sets the whole process back. And So We Don’t Waltz When the Prince of Wales remarked the other day that the waltz is the best dance of all, he said something that | we have been waiting for someone to say for a long | time. The modern world dances a great deal, but it} does not waltz very much, and it is a pity. There is a Grac2 to the waltz, a stateliness, a dreamy romance that/ one. gets in no other dance. However, the changing times have deprived us of a good many of the pleasantest features of a former day, and the waltz is only one of many things that are not quite attuned to the modern era. And the defect lies In the waltz itself; for the very qualitiés that make it a elightful dance are qualities that have made it lose Popularity with this generation. ‘You can learn a good deal about any society by watch- Ing how it dances, Dancing expresses a person or a group more clearly than words could. It gives utterance, in @ome way, to whatever the dancers may have in the back of their minds. And during the last decade the ‘world generally has had things on its mind that cannot be expressed in a waltz.

In many case, the ridicule which lasts as long as the eye is discolored is much more painful than the injury itself. Nature endeavored to protect the eye with a bony defense consisting of the cheekbone and the bone under the eyebrow, so that a blow aimed for the eye is apt to strike a hard bone in- stead of the soft part of the eye. Over this hard bony defense is laid a rich supply of blood vessels and also a supply of soft tissues and skin. When the tissues and -skin over the bony ridges are struck forcibly, the small blood vessels are mashed between the bone and the outer covering. Thus the vlood vessel walls are damaged and the blood seeps out into the nearby tissues.
