The idea back of it is to bring the men who make policy and mold opinion into closer contact with the common people. As Gen. Hermann Goering remarks, “Those who want to lead the people must never forget how the man of the people feels.” So a number of starched-collar Prussians have already closed their desks and gone out to get jobs in textile factories, coal mines, book shops and what-not. Two months later they will be back at their regular posts—full, no doubt, of a deep fellow-feeling for the man at the bottom of the heap. In theory, the idea is swell. In actual practice, it probably will be pretty much of a dud. For the one thing that erring man cannot do is to find out what it feels like to live on a lower rung of the ladder by going slumming. Lifting your- self by the bootstraps is child’s play by comparison. What is it that gets on the worker’s mind and makes him dream of a fairer and more decent world, anyway? The mere fact that he has to work with his hands and earn his living by the sweat of his brow? Not at all. That has been humani- ty’s common lot ever since men came down out of the trees and shed their tails. No man fit to be called a man. feels abused because he has to work for his living. The real trouble is psychological—a feeling of helpless- ness, of insecurity, of being adrift in a world where all of your best efforts, your fidelity and your industry may not avail to Save you. -You may be frugal and industrious beyond all meas- ure; if a depression, a war, a decline in foreign trade or some fool’s monkeying with the currency closessthe factory where you work, you are out of luck and there is precious little you can do about it. That is the sort of thing the man on top can’t get next to by a mere process, of working for two months on an assembly line. That feeling of insecurity never will put its icy fingers on his heart. In the back of his mind must always be the knowledge that he is in this only for a little while. He will return to security when his two months are up. Short rations‘are no hardship ‘ when you know there is a big chicken dinner waiting for you | alittle later. Fs A sympathetic understanding of the troubles of the man | © at the bottom is something that can’t be taught. Unless you, | have come up from the bottom yourself, or have been born with i the necessary breadth of imagination and sympathy, you dwell } forever in another world. Slumming parties may salve the f conscience, but they mean very, very little. Diplomacy’s Paper Profits American diplomacy in Loni seems to have scored a new triumph. It has succeeded in persuading British official- dom to allow 10 American women, instead of the customary eight, to’be presented to and make their curtsies before King George and Queen Elizabeth at the spring courts, Long negotiations, it is said, were necessary before this concession could be won. The question of the number of Amer- icans to be presented at court has been a vexing one for many years—one that has furrowed the brows of American ambas- eadors for heaven knows how long. Probably it is a great victory that has been won. We wouldn't know. But it does seem to us that this country could find more important work for its ambassador than this busi- ness of looking out for social climbers.

Political Family’s Exit | By the middle of this month a long and eventful chapter q in American politics will have closed. For the first time in i some 40 years, there will not be a Bryan in public office or cam- | + paigning for office. William Jennings Bryan began the family’s activities, back in the '90's. A little later his brother, Charles W. Bryan, took up the torch, serving three terms as governor of Nebraska and two as mayor of Nebraska’s capital city, Lincoln, besides run- ning for the United States senate and The elder Bryan is dead now, Mrs. Rhode is back in pri- vate life—and in mid-May Charles W. Bryan finishes his term i ‘as mayor of Lincoln.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pupils Contract and Dilate ‘Have noticed that the pupils of my eyes dilate quite frequently. Might this be a sign of eyestrain or is it natural for some persons to have larger younger are larger than those of older per- sons. Larger in near-sighted persons. Pupils contract in light, dilate in shadow or when the light is less intense. They dillate when the eye regerds an object at a distance; contract when the eye regards an object close by. Some general disease conditions affect the size of the pupils; and some drugs cause them to dilate or contract. (Copyright 1937, John F. Dille Oo.)
