All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. Power of Suggestion ‘What happens when an item of news is repeated often enough in the headlines is well known. People get to thinking of the subject so pre- sented and this is reflected in their actions. Thus it was inevitable that we should have a great succession of spectacular kidnapings after the Lindbergh tragedy. The only satis- fying thing about it is the fact that many of the criminals guilty of these outrages have been captured and some have been convicted. The trend is slowly dying because many who might be tempted are coming to the conclusion that body-snatching is not such an easy racket after all. To seize a man is simple enough but to collect the ransom and get away with it seems to be something else again. Also it was inevitable that real kid- napings should be followed by “fake” kidnapings and the retailing of wild stories about attempted abductions. Probably the queerest of these is the case of David Kahan, Brooklyn restaurant man, who “kidnaped” himself in order that his wife's wealthy relatives might pay ransom for him. Kahan disappeared, sent kidnap notes and made all the ar- rangements for his own ransom. But his “master minding” went astray when one of his employes was trapped by police and led them to where Kahan was in hiding. Nearer home, George Cavers fled from Fairmont, Minn., with no ap- parent reason. There seemed no reason for kidmaping him but the crime was in the public mind and it was assumed he had been spirited away. A week or so later the lad turned up in Los Angeles with a wild story of having been kidnaped. Later it turned out that the boy had not been kidnaped at all. ‘These things will die down as soon as the crime itself becomes infre- quent and weak minds are relieved of pressure from the power of sugges- tion. That should be soon, for right now there is no person of prominence being held for ransom and most of the recent abductions appear on the way to solution—and successful pros- ecution. Health in Canada Anyone interested in finding out what makes people healthy might make an intensive study of condi- tions in Canada to learn why wage- earners in that country were heal- thier, during the first six months of this year, than their fellows south of the border. The information that this is so comes from one of the world’s great insurance companies which keeps close records on its industrial policy holders. It found that the Canadian death rate was 4.6 per cent below that of last year and is the lowest on record, while the rate in the United States rose three per cent over a year ago. Commenting on this the insurance company says: “The mortality from diabetes, which had been steadily rising in both countries for years, has recorded a considerable drop in Canada; in the United States the marked upward trend is still per- sisting. The heart disease death rate is unchanged this year in Canada, whereas in the United States cardiac conditions have ‘been responsible for many more deaths than in the like part of 1932. The cancer mortality rate has risen only negligibly in Can- ada; but it has gone up appre- ciably in the United States. Deaths from pneumonia, on the other hand, have increased a lit- tle in Canada as compared with @ pronounced drop in the United States—to a new low point. “We are unable at this writing to advance any suggestion as to the causes underlying these dif- ferences except that they may be due, in some measure, to the dif- ferences in the relative age dis- tributions of the groups of in- sured persons in the United States and Canada. “All in all, it is obvious that health conditions among insured ‘wage-earners in Canada are more than satisfactory; and that the very marked progress made dur- ing 1931 and 1932 is still going on.” Since health and longevity are two of the things most commonly desired by man, it is to be hoped that our Canadian brothers will let’ us in on this secret. Since the condition is general 8 lot of folks must know about it. Maybe it is no secret at all, that Canadian habits of life are more con. ducive to health than our own. A Great Hegira ‘We don’t hear much about it these days because we are too busy with other things, but one of the world’s great hegiras is going on right now in the movement of Jews from Ger- many to Palestine. When Hitler and the Nazis made life unbearable for them in what they thought was their homeland, Germany's Jews sought other places of residence. Ejected from the professions and boycotted in business, there was nothing for them there. As many as could do so fled with whatever they could take with them. Others were stopped at the border and the rules now forbid Jews from leaving Ger- many. Actually, however, the new Aryan civilization is glad to get rid of them and so they are being permitted to flee, leaving their property behind them. England has made it easier for Jews with certain qualifications to seek refuge there, even now is host to the great Einstein, but most other countries put up the bars. In most cases it was not a question of race but of a population which could not absorb more men seeking opportun- ities for work or business. Under these conditions is was only natural that thousands should go to Palestine, where a New Jewry is es- tablishing itself on the ruins of his- toric foundations. It is a unique experiment and one which may prove of vast importance to the world. If the natural resources of the country permit it, we may yet see that part of the world blossom like the rose, for the Jew is indus- trious. Many may feel that there is some- thing prophetic about it, that Armageddon is just around the corner, When the fact becomes gen- erally known we may have a whole crop of prophesies about the immed- iate approach of the world’s end. 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 NRA Anti-Labor? N. ¥. World-Telegram The NRA is under attack. Miss Mary Van Kleeck, of the Rus- sell Sage Foundation, has resigned as @ member of the Advisory council of the U. S. Employment Service in pro- test against the administration's al- leged anti-labor policies. When such an expert makes serious charges they merit consigeration. In our judgment, she has touched certain dangerous possibilities rather than actual anti-labor acts of the administration. Specifically, Miss Van Kleeck says that the collective bargaining rights of labor, recognized by the Recovery law, cannot be protected if labor is denied the right to strike under the new truce agreement. That is true. It is also true, as she says, that the NRA evaded the company union issue in the steel code hearings. Moreover, it is true, as she says, that company union employes have more than a fair share of representation in the NRA organization. This set-up does hold dangers. But, despite these unfavorable con- ditions, labor has fared better than employers at the hands of the NRA to date. Take the case of the textile code, the first and largest in operation. The NRA gave labor a far better deal in that code than the union official himself had demanded in the original negotiations. The most remarkable feature of the steel hearings was the failure of labor to achieve even a minimum of or- ganization in that industry under the invitation of the Recovery law, and the failure of labor to present a strong case at the hearings.

No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, WHEN YOU CAN NO LONGER COVER UP YOUR INIQUITIES YOU CAN ALWAYS FALL BACK ON THE OLD ALIBI According to a news dispatch a pro- fessional gentleman suffered a “nervous collapse” after he had been exonerated by a coroner in the case of a girl who had committed suicide. The girl ended a “romance” with the gentleman by her death. Then the gentleman hastened to a sanitarium. The gentleman's wife had kindly of- fered to give up her husband to the girl if the girl would only promise not ta commit suicide. I reckon there are many husbands like that— with wives loosely bound to them and ready to give ‘em up to any girl who will promise anything. There ought to be a law or maybe a national conference of husbands whose wives are asking bids on them. I'd hate to think that my wife would give me up just to stop one girl from doing something rash; especially if the coroner, good sport, had looked into the mess and pronounced my part in it quite savory. If my wife is go- ing to throw me to the tigress I hope she will save me till there are at least half a dozen girls convinced they can’t be happy without me. Dr. Jekyll seemed reasonably con- tent with life until he disassociated himself into Mr. Hyde for nefarious purposes, and as soon as Hyde cut loose the doctor’s troubles began. This “complete nervous collapse” or “breakdown” is of ocurse sheer hooey. No reputable physician or specialist for a moment regards that idea se- riously. If a doctor seems to acquiesce in the charitable covering over of a noisome scandal it is because he is a physician and not censor of morals and anyway it is none of the public’s was only one powerful and adequate voice raised in behalf of labor's rights —and that was the voice of Secretary of Labor Perkins, in other words the Roosevelt administration. Finally, take the case of the Media- tion Board. Only two of the seven members are direct labor representa- tives. But Miss Van Kleeck has over- looked the much more important fact, that Senator Wagner, the chairman, and Dr. Leo Wolman, the economist, hold the balance of power on the board and that both of them are proved friends of legitimate labor in- terests. As for the right to strike, which she thinks has been sacrificed by the truce agreement, that is an inalienable right which cannot be destroyed. But it is @ right that can be withheld for fair arbitration. If certain employers do not live up to the code standards, as business what he thinks ails his pa- tient. But I’m a newspaper man, in a way, and so I venture to make this plea. After many years of obstinate misuse of the term “aphasia” (loss of speech) when obviously the purpose was to say joss of memary (amnesia), all but a few of the newspapers have learned to use the right word for it. In view of the fact that every intelligent per- son now knows that “nervous break- down” or “nervous collapse” is merely on attempt to conceal the truth, why not drop it from news writer's lingo and report instead that the scoundrel has entered the sanitarium for some reason not disclosed? As long as this threadbare alibi is kept ready to spread over the shoulders of any and every crook of high degree for whom the game is up, doesn’t it offer am easy way out for the culprit with Miss Van Kleeck properly fears, the administration in the dispute will be on the side of labor and not on the side of the law-breaking employers. Far fron) sacrificing a right in the Process, labor, in fact, wins a powerful ally in the government. ‘The real trouble with Miss Van Kleeck is that she hates to face the disagreeable fact that labor in Am- erica is weak and poorly led, and that it has failed during the last few weeks to take advantage of its unique op- portunities under the Recovery law to organize unions. As a friend of labor she is inclined to blame capital or the government for the sins of organized labor itself. If President Roosevelt had been half as slow and indifferent to the needs of labor, as many of the union leaders themselves have been, the country today would have no Recovery law with its charter of labor rights. One of the big advantages of the Agricultural Adjustment Administra- tion’s wheat plan is that payments in consideration of pledges to reduce acreage are to be made to farmers separately and independently of the market price of wheat.

Her castles crumble when her Aunt Pamela in- forms her that Mr. Braithwait’s fortune is depleted and. suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middle- aged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father’s future, warn- ing her that love fades. Aunt Pam’s marriage with Jimmie Warren— handsome, young lawyer—was be- ginning to pall in spite of the ar- dent love they had had for each other. They still eared but the rou- tine of married life had made the: “less lovers and more friends”. Stunned by her aunt’s revelations, Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the father she adores, when she meets a fascinating young camper, who only reveals his first je, Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another, Pat dis- courages future meetings. Later, Pam cautions Blaine to be matter-of-fact and not sentimental in trying to win Pat, stressing the point that his one advantage is the fact that Pat is desperately hard up and worships her er, who lives for Pat alone. His financial predicament is largely due to the gradual caving in of his plantation. His honesty prevented him from taking advantage of an opportunity to sell the property. Braithwait tries to belittle his difficulties to Pat, but she realizes he is just try- ig to shield her and that Aunt Pam was right. She accepts Blaine’s proposal. That night, Pat longs for Jack and hopes he will come to see her. CHAPTER TEN Presently Pamela became aware of a new note in Patricia’s gaiety. Chaffing her father and Warren, the lateness of the hour had all at once impinged upon Patricia’s conscious- ness. “Come, Jimmie, let’s dance,” sl jumping up and grasping War- ren’s hand. “Aunt Pam, loan me your husband, please. You and Dadums can sit as long as you please over your ice. I hear my savage ancestors calling me to the ballroom.” Warren followed her, his heart throbbing painfully. He félt that he would like to wring Blaine’s black- guard neck, then beat his horse-like face to a pulp. His arm went around her as soon as they reached the ballroom floor, and he drew her fiercely against him. She looked up in laughing s1 prise. “Why, Jimmie, you are as bad as some of these boys who think a girl doesn’t need to breathe while she dances.” “Excuse me, Pat. I’m mad. Darn mad.” “And do you always squeeze a jady when you’re mad?” “If she happens to be the cause. I can’t break her face and retain my standing in decent society, so I try to break her ribs, which society permits.” “Do you want to “Frightfully.” “why?” “Blaine.” She lifted her stricken face to him, her eyes wide and pleading. “Oh Jimmie!” She sobbed. “I just can’t ——” She broke off abruptly, ar- rested by something new and strange and tremendously moving in the fair handsome face of the man break my face?” downbent to her. His gaze seemed to consume her in a hungry flame. His breath came in labored gusts, and on his brow a vein throbbed painfully. “Oh, Jimmie,” she whispered, not knowing what moved her so strange- ly.

And with a little sigh, a smile of utter content touching her li herself in sudden sweet his embrace. Warren, looking down at closed eyes, the gently parted 1 hearing that little sigh and feeling the complete surrender of her young body, forgot all the fine resolves he had made earlier in the evening to “cut off both arms” before he would attempt to defile her either by play- ing his love against the inflammable emotions of youth, or by the furtive game of gratitude. In an agony of ecstasy, he drew her to him, press- ing his face down against hers. ... She cared for him! She cared! His storming senses sang. He could and’ would save her from that vermin who had nothing but wealth to of- fer her. “Oh, little Pat,” he breathed. With a start she opened her eyes, drawing her face away from him. Jimmie, not Jack, smiled at her. “Jimmie, I,” she began in con- fusion. “I——” But before she could offer her shamed explanation of ‘what seemed to her, her outrageous conduct, she was snatched away, still tingling strangely. Nor did her excitement abate as the hours marched on. Jimmie did not cut in again, for which she was grateful. She didn’t understand her amazing reaction to his advances, and felt she had made a fool of her- self in his eyes. Mr. Blaine, who had watched her gloatingly all evening from the em- brasure of a window, now made up his mind to “cat in” on her. Patricia almost swooned when she looked into the pale repellant face of her future husband. But without a moment's hesitation she slid into his arm: The mincing steps of him as if he were afraid of breaking his legs if he let go... the deep breathing and he talked while he danced.

With a last sick fantastie hope Patricia fled down the dark tree lane toward the waiting beach, Perhaps he was out there with his boat, not knowing who to call for, waiting for her to come out to him. Oh, why had she not thought of that before? i The disturbing sweetness of in- numerable flowers assailed her like a potent drug, threatening to over- power her. The blare of music from the hotel, the laughter and move- ment pursued her into the still clear night. The moon hung like an enormous silver bell in the pale riven deeps. A few stars blinked wistfully in the blanched sky, repeating themselves in the bright dark mirror beneath. Achingly she scanned the long stretch of sand. Miles on miles of silver sand. Running on and on into infinity, still and carved as death. Giving no sign. Paying no heed to the hot young eyes that scanned it. Something hard caught her pounding heart, an iron hand, still- ing it, congealing it in bitterness and pain that could not melt into tears. She turned slowly away. Away from that empty loveliness, “Well, that’s that,” she said aloud. She laughed mirthlessly. aan had a fashion of lock- things away for space, then suddenly exploding them ina single revealing flash. She did not think things out by the slow painful pro- cess of building block upon block; but rather she arrived in brilliant leaps at the stark truth of her ow pretenses.
