Warburg, who died Wednesday, but everyone living can Jearn from the story of his life. , After amassing a fortune, he devoted most of his time and money to charity and to improving conditions in the land which had been so good to him. With ample opportunity for lavish living and enjoyment, he continued to get his best fun from human associations, his greatest thrill from helping others. Neither feather-brained nor soft-witted, he nevertheless realized that one of the obligations which came to him along with financial power was to make this world a better place in which to live and rear a family. \ His benefactions to his own distressed race and others totaled more than $10,000,000 and, in addition, he gave of his time and energy. Throughout his iife he was interested in the American boy and one of his favorite recreations was to visit a boys’ club on the East Side. He explained that “work with the boys has given me far more than I could give them.” Thus a man with a genius for money paid tribute to the things of the spirit. He realized that there are things in this world which money cannot buy, hence his interest in humanity, music and the arts which made him one of the most highly cultured business leaders of his race or of our time. Quarantined War ' No person ever caught smallpox by staying away from an infected house. It’s the one who goes near, if only to tack a “quarantined” sign on the doorpost, who runs a chance of taking + the disease. As long as the United States stays completely away from a war, isolated half-way around the world, there is little chance of being involved. But any move, however worthy, carries a threat of ultimate, dire results. “We can’t be neutral and write sassy letters,” fiery ex- Marine Maj.-Gen. Smedley Butler declared in speaking of the Far Eastern situation, warning that similar steps led to Amer- ' ica’s entrance into the World war. i If a “quarantined” sign must be tacked on Japan’s doorpost, + let someone else do it. The United States caught the disease 20 years ago. The lesson should be fresh enough to remind the nation to protect the next generation. Night Blindness Preparation of pure vitamin A, for use in prevention of night blindness, has been announced by scientists who hail the discovery as an ‘important factor toward reducing the number of nocturnal automobile accidents. That is welcome news. Anything that will aid in lowering the terrifying American automobile toll should certainly receive greatest consideration. But injection of such a substance into the veins of the average driver will have little effect. If a little common sense could be pounded into the heads of some wild drivers it would be much better. Night blindness may be cured, but science still has to find a remedy for excessive speed, reckless disregard of other mo- torists and pedestrians, and the film that clouds the eyes of the driver who indulges in “just a couple shots.” Courage to Live Challenging science to “remake man” as the only remedy to save modern civilization, Dr. Alexis Carrel, distinguished sur- geon and Nobel prize winner, astonished a Dartmouth college audience with the assertion: “The civilized races are losing the courage to live... the reproduction of gifted individuals is decreasing.” Improvement of the race is possible, Dr. Carrel declared, through institutes of “psychobiology” to produce leaders of government and education rather than the specialists the pres- ent system yields. But, while science can aid, the future of the race seems to rest more upon the individual. Only in the courage to live to the best advantage for self and fellow man, in justice, peace, and health can civilization survive. Quaint Customs In the eastern part of the country is a religious sect whose members still cling to the quaint old beliefs that a man’s word is as good as his contract, that one should not borrow more than he intends to repay, and that the simple thihgs of life are best. Queer, these people who are so far behind the times. They know not the joy of installment purchases, double dealing, onerous debt. Their beliefs set them entirely apart. Yet they live in peace and contentment, in fellowship and friendship with their neighbors, unworried by tomorrow’s reckoning. And the hurrying, blase world might find the Utopia it seeks in the life of these fortunate, carefree farmers. San Francisco's promise that a person can hold a million dollars cash— tight in his hand, for only a dime at the 1938 Golden State Exposition—will set a lot of folks to studying sleight of band. eee The telegraph companies’ decision to eliminate charges for punctuation ‘and do away with the old “stop” in telegrams will ruin a lot of antique radio ees.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Oct. 23—Postmaster- General James Aloysius Farley will be out of the cabinet “by the end of November.” Says who? Well, to be honest about it, this is just one more of those supposedty trustworthy tips from the so-called “inside.” Washington correspondents with prophetic tendencies have been sticking their necks out on the basis of such tips for more than three years, every now and then. Insofar as the last story concerning Jim’s future movements is concerned, it. just won’t come true. This was a very interesting yarn promoted by cthers than those who had a right tg speak for Mr. Farley. The indication was that as soon as a certain reor- ganization program and a certain is- sue of securities therein involved were okayed by the Securities and Ex- change commission, Farley would quit the post office and go to work tor the company involved with a large bonus of stock. That story left the inference, if one is to judge from the gossip about town that the SEC might naturally be expected to act favorably. Diligent tion to act precipitately, if at all. Sec- ond, that Jim Farley has shown not the slightest sign to SEC that he be- lieved it should. xk x Plenty of Offers Farley would like to quit as post- master-general and jump into busi- ness for awhile. He has had no end of offers, but if one can judge the man at all from personal scrutiny, he is primarily anxious to take on a Job in which his executive abilities will be recognized and given full swing. Rather than the sort of a post which might bring him $100,000 @ year, more or less, and carry the implication that Jim was being paid for his influence and prestige within the administration. And to go even further, as far as this writer can learn, Farley would like to feel that he was being offered @ job in recognition of his able ad- ministration of the post office de- partment and nothing else. This writer never heard Mrs. Farley say, apropos of an offer to Jim whicn So perhaps Farley will quit by De- cember and perhaps he won't. If he that post office job seriously.
