This, very likely, will awaken the pundits and we shall have another learned discussion of what did and did not happen in colonial days. For the innocent bystander, however, the thing is interesting chiefly as a revelation of the universal human desire to present one’s ancestors in the best light pos- sible. As a matter of fact, very few co- lonial Americans, in any part of the country, came from the upper classes in the old country.

After such a contest, each pair has held exactly the same cards as their opponents and under exactly similar circumstanees. The net score shows which did the most with the cards available. But in the Culbertson affair we . hear that the other side held most of the Aces and Kings as explana- tion for losses. The officials are 2 cused of not knowing their business| and with failing to-require the com-, petitors to adhere to their respective systems of bidding. It is showmanship of a high order, as witness the general interest in the games, but it is hardly a contest which can decide either the abilities of the respective participants or the merits of the systems which they espouse. Such a test, to be fair, should be under management separate and apart from the participants and un- der terms which would give each side equal opportunity. Home for the Holidays College boys and girls are home for the holidays and demanding more liberty than they did in their high school days—much to the consterna- tion of worried parents. Fathers pretend to be hard-boiled. When mothers worry about the chil- dren, they put on a wise and uncon- cerned mask and say, “Oh, they'll be all right. ‘Nothing will happen to those kids. And even if anything’ could happen, we can’t prevent it by worrying.” Fathers like to make peo- ple believe they are strong, silent. characters who hold the world in their hands and shape it to their wills. Let others worry, they will not fear life. Not they. Its all a bluff. When mothers worry, they put their apprehensions into words. But when fathers worry, they fake and pretend to be uncon- cerned. But inside of themselves, they worry a plenty. ‘They may not worry about their sons. They've been boys themselves, and they like to boast about what tough little rascals they were, a scan- dal in the neighborhood, a tornado in the family. But they came through all right, didn’t they, and so will their sons. But as for their daughters—well, that’s another mat- ter. Fathers are afraid of their daugh- ters and afraid for them. They don't know what to say to them, or how to resist them. They know that a boy shouldn't be spoiled, but they think a little spoiling can't hurt 8 girl. They know e daughter is twist- ing her father about her finger, and they're proud of her ability to do it. They'll not stand for impudence from @ son, but they chuckle when daugh- ‘ter ig flip. But they worry. They look ahead and worry about impossible danger. They wonder what they'll do, what they'll say, how received a number of jailbirds, what of that? They became excellent citi- | zens after they had landed. Isn't that enough? ‘Sucker Money’ According to a recent statement from W. O'Neil, president of the Gen- eral Tire and Rubber company, one of the prime causes of the present de- pression has been an abundance, in Prosperous times, of “sucker money.” “Sucker money” is the money which the investing public, prior to 1929, was ready to throw into industrial securi- ties without proper investigation. As! Mr. O'Neil points out, it led to many unwarranted expansions of industrial plants. This inflated the business boom beyond proper proportions, and when the crash came there was no possibility of reemploying the men who had had jobs in, the over-ex- panded trades. “Expansion,” says Mr. O'Neil, “should be financed by earnings, not by sales of bonds and stocks, except in rare instances.” ‘That is an excellent warning for in- dustrialists to bear in mind when Prosperity returns. When we go up too fast and too high we are apt to come down the same way. Editorial Comment Editorials trend of! Man and His Ailments (Minneapolis Tribune) It is a little distressing to learn from those attending the national confer- ence on Nomenclature of Diseases in New York that there are more than 10,000 acientifically identified and dis- tinct ailments to which man is now heir. Even the suggestion that the average person can congratulate him- self on escaping several thousand dis- eases in the course of a lifetime is scarcely calculated to comfort the layman who has hitherto believed, in his ignorance, that the misbehaviors of the body could be tabulated on a small fraction of the 250 pages requir- na for the conference's revised cata- log. If there are more than 10,000 dis- eases to be had, there must be several times that many symptoms, and the outlook for the chronic worrier who has a catalog at hand would seem a dismal one indeed. The layman’s fear should be allayed, however, by an un- derstanding of the fact that hundreds of these diseases are not commonly encountered, and that hundreds more which are of infrequent occurrence are not regarded in themselves as of any great seriousness. What should be of chief importance is the rapidly ‘accumulating evidence which shows that many of the diseases on this list from which man has had most to fear and which have ravaged the hu- man race on a vast and dreadful scale, are being successfully attacked by medical science. Such diseases as tuberculosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever and diabetes are among the more persistent and devastating enemies of mankind, and it is here that the medical profession is waging some of its most spectacular and ef- fective campaigns of prevention and cure. If man is steadily acquiring new dis- eases, it is at least heartening to be assured that the worst of the old ones are gradually yielding to science. The fact that more than 10,000 distinct diseases can be identified today does not mean, necessarily, that good health is more of a problem today than it was several centuries ago; E he be able to do about it) it seem end he rT i 4 what jure. more Meda does mean is that diseases are accurately and skillfully diag- nosed today where diagnosis was once @ simple matter of guess and blunder. strong and/it is something for the layman to conceals Iknow, even if he is depressed at the it he is think- Shaneny of having 10,000 and more dodge, that medical science 1s increasingly well prepared to help profoundly, |! nim dodge them. bora Heteromorphas. And it was high time. For they're right in the social swim at present and sooner or later I was certain to meet them, or some of their gang. And then what? I wouldn't know for sure whether they were a tricky new dish or a foreign car. As a matter of fact, they're fish. And rare fishlets from romantic tropic waters are quite the pet vogue of the moment. For a couple of hundred dollars, or the equivalent of & payment on the mortgage. you can have a fairly sizable collection swim- ming about. I learned that the Heterandria is only about one-quarter of the size of his name, in fact the smallest fish in captivity; the Tom Thumb of the par- lor fish bowl. And the Rasbora is all the way from Singapore, bumming his way around the world as near as I could gather, and a rather pretty lit- tle mother-of-pearl fellow. And only eight bucks per pair. But when I got to thinking how many would make a meal, in case the worst came to the worst, I fell back on salt mackerel. * Ok At any rate, this started me on @ round of the pet shops which, in New York, are a lot of fun around the holiday season. For the world is combed for the strange and unusual; collectors come rushing in from the jungles and the mountains and ship- loads of the darndest things come rambling into port. For instance, there's a parrot which, according to a sign, “can talk like Marlene Dietrich.” Ah, but where is there an imitation of those famous Dietrich shafts? And there are Siamese fighting fish for the sport fans. These little fellows fight for no reason at all, and frequently have to be kept in separate bowls to prevent ® knockout!
