(Official City, State and County 4 Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Worshiping the City Whenever « distinguished visitor enters any American city, one of the first questions the reporters toss at him is “How do you like our city?” This is especially true in New York; and a group of Indian artists from the Navajo country of New Mexico, visiting New York for an Indian ex- hibit recently, gave a reply that ought to keep their memory green for a Jong while. They simply replied, gravely, “Have you ever seen Santa Fe?” Of course, not all visitors can usc that come-back, for not all visitors to the big town have seen Santa Fo themselves; but there is in it a wholesome antidote to the current worship of metropolitan things, peo- ple and ways that is worth bearing in mind. It applies, too, to all visitors, dis- tinguished or otherwise, for we tend to put too great a halo on our cities; we are too admiring of their tall buildings, their busy streets and their, everlasting clatter and noise; we let them overpower us, so that we accord them a respect that isn’t based on any genuine values. We have, in fact, altogether too| much of a childish admiration for mere bigness. Because a given build- ing is higher than another, it must be finer. Because a given city is larger than another, it must be a better place to live. Because one home is more elaborate than another,! it must be happier. j These Indians managed to escape that mistake. Unimpressed by big-! ness, they found that Santa Fe could| stand comparison with New York very well. Perhaps the towers of Manhattan don’t seem so splendid to men who are used to the great red - cliffs of New Mexico. Perhaps the| congestion of a great city did not} seem entirely praiseworthy to men who knew the emptiness of the south- western plains. At any rate, their attitude was a sane one. At a time when every town hopes, somehow, to become big- ger and more crowded every year, it is a good one to keep in mind. Recognizing Genius A very quaint old letter has just been brought to America for publica- tion by Professor Waldemar Wester- gaard of the University of California at Los Angeles. Written in Danzig, Germany, in 1707, it bewails the mis- spent youth of one Gabriel Fahren- heit—the man who later invented the} mercury thermometer and became a) world-famous scientist. The letter was written by the boy's guardians to the Danzig burgomas- ters. Fahrenheit was 21 at the time, and he seems to have been something of a young hellion. The guardians recite the list of his misdeeds, stat-j| ing quaintly that “he has behaved! himself regrettably” and declaring | that they can see ahead of him “nothing cxcept destruction and dire ruin.” ‘They urge, therefore, that the town souncil put the lad under arrest and ship him away to the Dutch East Indies, in the hope that a hard life under new surroundings might snap} him out of it, The plan seems to have miscarried; Fehrenheit remained in Germany became famous and left us the measuring-stick by which we still guage temperature. , At this distance, of course, the guardians look rather ridiculous—as respectability almost always does| when it bumps into genius. And the whole business simply proves once more that what we take for “badness” in @ young man may be, very often, the bubbling-over of @ nature that is @ great deal stronger and more cap- j,| 80) treaties, and will the problem in quite the right light, The most we try to do is stop the badness. The real job is to turn the excess energy that caused the bad- ness into productive channels. Enjoying Travel The hapless American male who is dragged, protesting, through the art museums and cathedrals of Eurone by a high-minded and culture-hung-y better half has been one of the comic figures of literature for a good many years. Mark Twain struck @ blow in his favor in “Innocents Abroad”; for the most part, however, the poor man has been left to the superior derision of the intelligentsia, unhonored andi unsung. Now, most refreshingly, Francis Hackett arises in the January issue of Harpers Magazine to assert that this luckless figure of tradition has pretty much the right idea. When you travel, says Mr. Hackett, travel for fun. Don't do it to im- prove your mind. Have a good time; and if having a good time doesn’t lead you to art museums and such- like, don’t worry about it. “The most dangerous thing for a conscientious man,” says Mr. Hackett, “is to detect his moral vacuity and begin filling it up with cathedrals and museums. Especially must he control the weakness he may have for art galleries. ‘One hour in the gar- dens,’ he should say, ‘where the mind is refreshed by the living picture, is worth 2,000 acres of dried-up oi! painting.’” Now there is a lot of sense in that; and it points to the rather surpris- ing fact that the most memorable moments usually come to a traveler when he is least expecting them. You can gape at the glories of Ver- sailles, trudge through the Louvre open-mouthed, follow an inquisitive nose through Westminster Abbey and. view the Acropolis by moonlight; buts when you get back home you are apt to find that your brightest, most valuable memories are of insignificant things you’ hardly noticed at the time—lengthening shadows across a green English meadow, sunlight on the waves in mid-ocean, an empty stretch of poplar-bordered French road, a hastily-glimpsed cottage by an English river. Such things aren't in guide books, nor are they mentioned in travelers’ diaries. But they are of the real essence of the joys of travel. You can go to Europe to find them, or you can find them on an afternoon's motor trip in your own state. You need only open eyes and a receptive mind. Congress and Business A national business magazine re- marked the other day that “it is a tragic commentary on our govern- ment that business should heave a sigh of relief when congress adjourns and immediately feel itself on tenter- hooks as to what will happen when our national legislators convene.” Offhand, one might reply that it is also a tragic commentary on business if that is really the way its pulse responds to the doings in Washing- ton. Because, when you examine things, such a reaction is completely unjustified. Congress adjourned last spring and gave business a clear road ahead, What happened? Where is the re- vival that was sure to start? Did| business find its way out of the de- Pression, once congress left it alone? Could it, in fact, have floundered much more pitiably if a meddlesome congress had been on the job every minute of the year? Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Is Japan a Highwayman? (Duluth Herald) Those who prefer to think that there is, and will continue to be, pro- gress in this world have tried to be- lieve Japan when it said that it has no plan of conquest in Manchuria, but was only striving to protect what belongs to it under treaties duly signed by China. But Japan is making that belief in- creasingly difficult, and the action of this and other nations in warning Japan repeatedly that its steps lay it open to suspicion shows that they no longer hold Japan's title in Manehuria, though morally no better than that of a bully who took his neighbor's garage because he was strong enough to take it and keep it, is legally as good as the title of any nation to land own- ed and occupied by another people. Its property there had been owned by. Russia, which stole it from China, and title went to Japan following the Japanese-Russian war, with China indorsing the transfer. China has claimed duress, and has resented and resisted. And doubtless there are bandits in Manchuria, as there are in other parts of China. So Japan's excuse that it was only protecting its just interests against banditry has seemed plausible. But if Japan now takes Chinchow, the last stronghold of China in Man- churia, it will no longer be possible to doubt that Japan is taking advan- tage of the fact that China is divided, distracted and defenseless, and that the West is too busy paying for its last war to take any warlike steps now, to seize Manchuria for its own ment. Though that is what the nations used to do wherever they could—it was what we did with Mexico when we took Texas—it had been supposed stand as a foresworn and perjured bandit among the na- deserving only outlawry from Test of the world.

For one of the big town’s most po- lite, silk-gloved, yet sinister, rackets has been exposed. To understand the operation of this very profitable game, which is but a modern variation on many old ones, | you must understand the state of} mind of hundreds of persons who are | just managing to climb into the high- er social places. Particularly are so- | cially inclined parents fearful when a debutante daughter is about to make! her socal appearance in society. } Furthermore, you must understand | that not even a seismograph is more} sensitive than the ears of New York j Society folk. All those who are “on the in” know all about these matters. # 2 oR Now there are certain little peri- odicals, practically unknown to the man-on-the-street, that appear week- ly with items of social chatter. Just now, with the debbie season at full blast until after the first of the year, there is a more careful scrutiny of the paragraphs. And so, over a period of several months, whisperings of “something funny” have been going around. The whisperings reached one or two of were rewhispered publicly. It seems that suave, well-dresesed young men and women would appear at the door of certain houses.. These would be the homes of people of more or less wealth whose daughters were coming out, or who were personally figuring in the social whirl. All such folk are intensely eager to make a good impression; to be “taken up” and have the favorable comments of the society publications. * OK And so, the bell would ring and the for So-and-So. “I represent the Fortnightly Gabble (which isn’t the name),” the stranger would begin. “We would like to in- terest you in the purchase of so-many shares of our stock. Or perhaps you would like to take a large block of subscriptions for your family and friends.” No threats would be made. Some- thing would be said about a “nice write-up,” mayhap, and neat insinu- ations would follow that generosity would be appreciated and not forgot- ten. In some instances, the stock was said to have been quoted at from $50 the major society editors and these, polite, well groomed visitor would ask ; of it, one might say, since there is no crime against trying to sell stock. * oe OK But the point was clear—buy stock and you'll get a nice wirte-up, which jyou need what with a daughter com- ling out and all that! Don't buy |stock—and out comes something | Which, while not libelous, will prob- jably set a thousand persons snicker- ing behind their hands! No one said | this would happen, it seems. No one threatened but it began to happen! So, from all accounts, the racket has been working beautifully. Neat ‘blocks of stock, whatever their valuc may be, were sold. Just how much— no one knows! | They do know that the game has been exposed and several sensational arrests are expected. . (Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.)

Her views concerning women who did such things, heartless flirts and coquettes, were bitterly derogatory. But, of course, it could easily turn out that {t had all been a terrible mistake and misunderstanding, and that the lady, had not really trod on a heart at The scarf, while its raveled edges had been rever- ently kissed, had produced refer. ences to angels and things high above—the type of womanhood most approved hy Mary-Frances. But, for the past half-hour, all that had been put aside, and forgotten.

Earl was there, Earl was waiting for her under the walnut tree, An astonishment in itself, without the additional bewilderment of finding a new Earl, an impetuous, whisper- ing person, who sald, “Aw, you sweet baby, you,” and captured her icy trembling hands and held them firmly while she responded with only an odd, low, croaking sound. “What's the matter, baby? You're shaking all over. 1 wouldn't burt you for the world—see?” “I never did’ think you'd hurt me,” she replied with a choice little dignity. “I—1 guess I'm just kind of nervous or something.” “Excited to eee me, baby?” He kept hold of her hands and began drawing her closer and closer to him, it was cold, and bis arms and woolly coat felt nice and warm; there was an enticing odor, like passing a barber shop, with an added whif of wintergreen, and Mary-Frances said, “No man ever kissed me on my lips before.” It was not a boast, nor was {t an accu sation. It wi statement of cir. cumstance made more to herself than to Earl, “Cripes!” he sald, and bis voice was husky. “Some little sweet baby, T'm crazy about you—no fooling. Crazy—sce?” Mary-Frances drew away from him. It was time now to talk. She loved him, of course, but vaguely something seemed to be the matter with something. Her feet hurt, and Standing on tiptoes made them hurt worse; but that was not the trou: ble. Possibly there was no trouble —Teally. How could there be so soon, and with a great love iike theirs?

From time to time the laws of football have been modified to elim- inate dangers. The old mass play was eliminated through the change in the rules which demands 10 yards in four downs, and Veet pee the forward pass. However, ne hazards are created by skillful thin- ers just as soon as old hazards are eliminated. The elimination of the mass play has resulted in the devel- opment of skillful interference an of wedge formations following thi kickoff which are perhaps even more hazardous than was mass play, be- cause they involve a group of men in rapid motion. 2 8 Finally, the tremendous financial] es successful football in- duces the “win at any cost” policy. Men are kept in the game long after they should have been removed be- cause of fatigue or injury. Coaches with a limited amount of material nevertheless engage in schedules far beyond the capacity of the few men they have available. ‘The purpose of athletics in gen- eral is to develop the body harmo- niously through systematic exercise; to correct physical defects; to pro- vide situations which will arouse and increase the qualities of courage, fair-play, self-sacrifice, and loyalty; and finally to train men in leader- | ship, discipline and judgment. If the coaches and the athletic directors who are responsible for promoting this program lack the very qualities that they are presumed to teach, the future of football must be insecure.
