Fear is the mother of foresight.—Sir Henry Taylor. | Too Long in Coming Despite the situation which now prevails in Europe, where all statesmen are jittery and military machines are at the “ready,” there seems little likelihood that the unpleasantness between Abyssinia and Italy will go any far- ther at this time. To be sure the seeds of the next war prob- ably are being planted now and will eventually bear fruit if those already near maturity are meanwhile blighted by what remains of the will toward peace, but that is no reason to assume the harvest is close at hand. Of all the nations, England is most con- cerned about what is about to happen in Africa, most likely to become a party to trouble if any is started. She has massed a formidable fleet near the Suez canal and could, if she wished, stop the conflict before it starts by denying to Italy the use of these transportation facilities. For Il Duce to attempt to prosecute a war with overland communications would be almost an impossibility. That England will take such a drastic step is improbable, even though it would be a rela- tively simple matter. Mussolini could rage about it but could accomplish little else. If Eng- and were to be drawn into a war against Italy the fight would have to be on the sea where the Latins would have little, if any, chance. Her imports of oil could immediately be cut off, along with other supplies, and the result would be a stalemate during which Italy would slowly perish. There is no question, therefore, that Britain could stop the war if it wanted to run the risk of future political repercussions. A more likely reason for massing its fleet in the Mediterranean and for its show of force is probably England’s desire to reach an agree- ment with Mussolini as to just how far he will go in Africa before the fighting starts. Britain has an enormous stake there and her desire is to protect it. The world may not know about it, but the likelihood is that an agreement will be reached on this point if, in fact, it has not been signed already. Not all the pacts between nations are approved to the accompaniment of snapping cameras and clicking telegraph wires even in these supposed days of open diplomacy. The real insurance against a spread of the fighting lies in the attention which has been centered upon it. The people of the world are alive to the danger. Every move is being watched carefully. War-makers have trouble under such circumstances. When the potential enemy is alert and prepared is no time to start trouble. The World war started because a prince was shot down within the borders of his own coun- try. It came quickly and without previous warning. The French, smug in their unjustified confidence, had to use taxicabs to carry men to the front to defend Paris within a month after- ward. It is probable that some border incident or internal happening will be the cause of the next war. Very few sheep are killed when everyone is watching the dogs. Beam In The Eye Soviet Ambassador Troyanovsky's rejoiner to the American note protesting Russian propaganda in this country, that America is full of people who would like to do away with the present Russian government, is doubt- less true. One must grant that his point, as far as it goes, is well taken. Certainly there has been no dearth of critical comment in the United States where Russia is concerned. But its justification ends there and as an answer to America’s note of protest it is none at all. The thing which caused the American government || he believes in.

Chavez-Cutting Feud Goes on Despite Latter’s Death. eee Washington, Aug. 30.—Drastic neutrality legislation would prevent diplomats from playing international poli- tics in time of war or the threat of it. That's why the state department, backed by the navy and apparently by a navy-minded administration, has been hostile to neutrality proposals urged by Senators Nye, Clark and Bone which would hamstring any official attempt to play favorites among belligerents. The pro-neutrality senators have heard rumors of secret “commitments” by this government and are aware that the public seldom finds out about such agreements ‘until it’s up to its neck in war. I") That the state department's hostility to neutrality measures is an old story is shown by many documents turned up by senate munitions committee investigators in department files. re EP BRITISH INFLUENCE One of the most significant sets of these secret pa- pers dates back to December, 1914, when Senator Hitch- cock of Nebraska introduced a resolution aimed at export, of munitions to any belligerent. At this time Americans DEMOCRATS ALL Congressman Castellow of Georgia: “... when || I think of Thomas Jefferson. I believe in the cause I believe that I am a Jeffersonian Democrat. There is something else, however, I am even more proud of, and that is that Iam a Patrick Henry Democrat. (Applause.) I will tell you an- other thing, John Paul Jones was not so bad.” William Jennings Bryan, who probably did more toward secretary of state. i Ambassador Page at London cabled Bryan: “Sir Edward Gray unofficially expressed the hope to ;me that the bill introduced by Mr. Hitchcock in the sen- ate will not pass.” And the pacifistic Bryan, instead of ignoring such @ message from the British foreign minister, cabled back this disavowal: “I have explained to Ambassador Spring Rice that Mr. Hitchcock did not consult the president or the state department in regard to this resolution, Being from Nebraska he is not personally friendly to me.” Of course the resolution failed. But the issue raised again between senators and the state department in the closing days of this congress was whether, when other players start reaching for their shooting irons, we should {throw down our hand in the international poker game. eee FEUD GOES FORWARD | The feud that Dennis Chavez waged against the late Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico still goes on. Chavez ran against Cutting for the Senate last year, then contested the election in an effort which was almost certainly doomed to defeat and finally was appointed by New Mexico's Democratic governor to Cutting’s seat after Cutting was killed in an airplane accident on a trip necessitated by the contest. In an unprecedented public rebuke, such distinguished senators as Borah, Norris, Nye, Johnson and LaFollette walked out or absented themselves from the chamber when the time came for Chavez to be sworn in. eee CHAVEZ SPEAKS UP But instead of lying low for awhile, Chavez went straight to the White House with a vigorous protest when Secretary Ickes appointed Edgar F. Puryear, Cutting’s former secretary and friend, to be personnel man for PWA and the Interior Department. As Democratic na- tional committeeman from New Mexico, Chavez demanded that Puryear be kicked out. Which did him no good at all. Roosevelt, although he had given tacit support to Chavez against the New Mexico Republican progressive senator who had backed him against Hoover in 1932, had no desire to carry on the feud. Puryear is a progressive Democrat and was one of the most widely known secretaries on Capitol Hill. He was once a New Mexico legislator. He and Ickes were ; good friends and the cabinet member offered him a post {Immediately after Cutting’s death.

[M With Other Reprinted to show what Strong In Death (New York Times) The prolonged efforts of congress to put itself—and the country—out of misery by adjourning have been greet- ed with a good deal of cynical laughter. But the whole thing is no laughing matter. There is in it a revelation of the motives and make-up of congress which should pro- voke sober thought. Of this session of congress it cannot. be said that nothing in its life became it like the leaving of it. Yet in the confusion and tangle of the last couple of days we get'a fuller insight into the animus of our lawmakers as it has been shown again and again during the last eight months. It was, in a sense, quite fitting and characteristic that the wrangle which brought about the unexpected delay on Saturday was over a question of largess from the Treasury. Southern senators when told that the agricul- tural department had decided that the rate of 9 cents instead of 12 should be the basis of government loans on cotton, were as furious as a bear robbed of her whelps. In the melee which followed, it was hard to recognize Senators of the United States. Everybody could see cotton senators, wheat senators, corn senators, peanut senators, potato senators, and so on, but where were the men to stand for and represent the general interest of the People instead of that merely of section or group or class lor clique? This was the disturbing, the saddening aspect |of the spectacle which the senate presented. In fairness, all of the blame should not be placed upon members of congress. They have been subject for a long | time to peculiar temptations and great pressure. The administration’s lavish spending policy has created the impression throughout the land that treasury funds are inexhaustible. The result has been a swelling demand in all parts of the nation for a larger and larger share in the distribution of the money. In vain has the administra- at least the “ordinary budget.” Its hand has been everybody to get his individual portion. Nothing else could have been expected so long as the popular belief has spread and been fostered that, as the old song put it, “Uncle Sam’s rich enough to give us all a farm.” But his land is now nearly gone, and if the spending rage keeps on it looks as if his cash will soon be also.

Various unusually early party ac- tivities have contributed to this, but the culminating event—widely regard- ed as a sort of curtain raiser—was the exchange of speeches between Presi- dent Roosevelt and Republican House Leader Snell. Mr. Roosevelt disclaimed political intent, but he. spoke over the air to @ Democratic party gathering, and he dealt almost exclusively with topics which are surrounded by the most active political dispute. Mr. Snell hardly alluded at all to Political affiliations, but his address to the nation was delivered under far stronger than it is among their elders. From among many available ora- tors, a speaker commonly as a staunch conservative was se- | \lected to make the Republican reply. Both addresses were couched largely in general terms, with little specific mention of concrete governmental i pees or individual legislative pro- posals, The one specific measure to which :Mr. Snell devoted considerable space was the bill increasing the tax on wealth, which he condemned as de- signed to “confiscate property.” The special points advanced by Mr. Roosevelt were in relation to regula- tion of banking and industry, which he spoke of as necessary to save the economic structure. . eee Background Shadows Easily discernible in the background of the discussion lay the shadow of the constitutional issue; but its out- lines remained almost as nebulous as ithey were before the two speeches were delivered. eralism is commonly supposed to be ‘Let us carry on the good that the past gave us.

As the body is unable to use it, sugar accumulates in the blood, and some of it overflows through the kidneys, producing the characteristic glycosuria or glucose (sugar) in the urine. Apparently diabetes is more prevalent today than ever before. This may be explained by the fact that it is a disease of mature adults chiefly, and more persons attain mature or middle age today than in earlier times—that is,, the expectation of life is steadily rising, thanks to medical science and gradual enlightenment of the people in matters of hygiene and sanitation—so that more people have oppoortunity to be exposed to the causes of diabetes. While # young child may have diabetes, the great majority of cases occur in persons from 40 to 60 years of age. For this reason we regard diabetes as one of the degenerative diseases which develop at the time of life when one should be at his best. In considering what the authorities have to say about the cause or causes of diabetes one cannot help thinking to be sure, the same general etiology probl arteriosclerosis, heart disease, Bright's disease, apoplexy or what have you. This does not imply that it is all the bunk. For all we know it may be as true for diabetes as it is for CVD (cardiovascular degeneration, heart-artery wearing out). Not that it matters, but my own opinion is that. Diabetes is '@ nutritional disease, a fault of metabolism, inability to utilize normally various food substances, particularly— ‘Well, hum, maybe you've heard this before, too. What I’m driving at is the simple concept that the essential cause of diabetes is nutritional deficiency, and such factors as “nervous strain,” infection, heredity, or pancreatic injury are comparatively unimportant. This is so simple that the brilliant minds in medicine will immediately reject it, especially when they know # contemptible newspaper doctor advances the idea. Sometimes the brilliant minds in medicine reside in brains which are subsidized by various interests or are in the skulls of versatile writers who have had no medical experience to speak of. Nevertheless it is a fair concept, based on practical experience and clinical results achieved by many excellent practitioners, that this nutritional disease is due primarily to faulty diet. The fault in the diet is mainly a lack of the protective foods, natural foods, and particularly foods which are the best natural sources of vitamins. and minerals.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXV A® Jo sat beside Fragonet in the careening car which he had or- dered from the Crestmofft airport she had no time to think. He had instructed the driver to make all Possible speed to the airport, and Jo wondered at his impatience when the plane was under his own charter and so would stand by un- til they arrived, The road to Crestmont was not s good one, and several times Jo felt certain they were skidding into oblivion. “If you're hurrying just because you're afraid I'll change my mind,” she told Fragonet at last, “I wish you wouldn’t. I’ve quite made up ‘my mind to go with you.” He patted her hand as though she were a small child fearful with- out cause. “We'll be all right, darling. You see, there's usually fog around Grouse mountain after nightfall and I want to get over that before dusk. That's why all this hurry.” Still Jo felt that Fragonet was uncertain of her, that he would not be at ease until they were settled in the plane from which she could not escape until they were both in Involuntarily, Jo was so like a@ smal] and very intense boy. he wanted something badly he had but one instinct—to grab it bur. riedly and rush away with it de- spite everything. To him there weren't any rules, because, as Peter 3 iil ESg8 i E : b fuselage. “It won't be such a chummy faunt,” Fregonet explained, f out of th “But the stops w! can talk.

Al- most before she knew it, Jo was settled deep in one of the cockpits, conscious of the well-wishing grins of the hangar attendants who stood by to watch the take-off. Fragonet, grotesque in his tight helmet and goggles, turned and waved to her. She nodded nervous- ly . . . felt the plane bouncing roughly along the runway, felt it lift smoothly beneath her. ‘When they had leveled out, and Fragonet had gievn her another re- assuring signal, Jo raised herself slightly against the canvas belt and peered below her. The trees looked like squat shrubs in the afternoon suniight. Crest Lake, far in the distance, was a blue gem hardly large enough for a man’s ring. And the roofs of the Inn and the cireling cottages were ma- roon dots against the green forest. Jo settled back into the cockpit again, thinking of Bret, and Doug- las Marsh. Of Todd Barston, and Babs—and good old Tubby. Which of them would she see first again? Or would she see any of them. ever? : She looked through the wind- shield at the helmeted head of Fragonet. He was piloting her now. She felt helpless, more alone than ever. Instinctively she want- ed to all, he loved her. Fragonet she was j@nough to guard and guide and | keep.

But would she be a goddess in Hollywood where there must be thousands of creatures so glorious that the very name Holly- wood had come to be synonymous with female beauty and charm? As if reading her thought, Frago- net leaned forward and said, “Yeo . . « the old town has more beau- tiful women to the square block than any other place on earth. And you're adding something to the av- erage. Jo.” eee He drew very close and Jo said quickly, “I’m so tired. . . . Really, I think I could sleep for days.” Fragonet laughed. “You can if you want. Hollywood is actually & very quiet little city, Jo. And I know you'll like the apartment T’'ve selected for you. It’s right on Wilshire, near Bullock’s.” “Are you sure it isn’t too expen sive” “Not at all expensive,” he told her lightly. “And anyhow, that’s something I don’t want you worry- ing about. I brought you to Hol- lywood, and I'll see that you get along.” Jo saw no reason to argue the point now. She was extremely tired, and at least she could af- ford the place long enough to rest up and get her bearings. Fragonet’s driver stopped before a tall building, and a uniformed doorman stepped from beneath a gaudy awning to assist Jo from the car. Red-trousered Orientals seemed literally to swarm over the luggage, bearing it in as ants car- ry a crumb. Fragonet saw Jo to her room, made sure that she was comfortable. “I want you to drop right to sleep,” he told her. “And tonight ‘We'll go to Cocoanut Grove. Right?” Jo nodded. “I'd like to—if I can really wake up.” “I'll leave a call for you at the desk to be sure you do. . . and Tl come by early. I want you to have dinner with me, too.” When he bad gone Jo glanced about the room. Clearly the place was much too expensive. But it was nice. She walked to the win- dow and looked down at Wilshire boulevard, teeming with traffic, Then she lifted her eyes to the foothills beyond, saw a set of white letters so gigantic that she could {read them miles away, in this tToom—H-0-L-L-¥-W-0-0-D, Where Rome can really be built in a day—and torn down in less.

Where many an unknown girl has found her- self, by the unbelievable magic of celluloid and sound, beloved by men in all quarters of the world. But Jo knew, too, that many an unkoown girl had plunged foto stilt deeper obscurity in Hollywood. She remembered suddenly of reading how one had leaped to her death from one of those great tall letters “HOLLYWOOD” or the hillside. (To Be Continued) .
