Wellington, 1011 THE FACTS OF LIFE nson, 80-year-old Gov- Mrs. Roosevelt eral years ago should learn Remember Luren D. Dic ernor of Michigan, who recer to task for a statement she that in these days of cock ly +too made s s women how much they could drink and not go beyond the b3 limit? | Well, it seems the Governor (who became Mi gan's chief executive this year during his seventh term as Lieutenant Governor when his predecessor| died in office) went all the way to Albany, New York, | in June to attend the annual Conference of Gover-| nors, the first such function he had ever been invited | to dignify with his presence, ! Said the Governor of Michigan to the (‘m'.'on'.m:l of all the other states to anyone standing on the | side lines who cared to listen,” This is terrible!” What his ellency was deploring was the “rum and ruin” capers carried on at the conference. That his fellow Governors are either silent on his charges or refute them with the comment that Gov. Dickinson’s imagination ran away with him seems tc make little difference. The Republican Governor teacher and a prohibitionist, warned “mothers and daughters” of the “hellish brink” of high life, and ycited scenes of women drinking—17 after he *returned to the comparative quiet of Lansing. Gate crashers at the party at Saratoga Springs *included “libertines and social brutes” endangering the young girls in attendance and liguor flowed like water, deplored Dickinson. There were no gate crashers, everyone present being an official guest sand the conduct of the group was in no way out of the ordinary, says the president of the Albany Cham- ber of Commerce which arranged the party. Another guest adds that Dickinson seemed to be enjoying him- self immensely. A sign of the times is the fact that the editorial . columns of the nation’s press are unanimous in taking a fall out of the old Governor for his attitude. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, for instance, remarks: “Michigan can now class itself with Texas and Okla- homa, two s which until now have held fairly . exclusive honors for Governors wont to sound off on matters commonly held to be of private concern only. Governor Dickinson's own personal standards, which are understood to be exemplary but he should not insist that other people conform to his own yardstick.” ays the Philadelphia Record: “Now the obvious trouble with Dickinson is that he attended the parties at Albany and New' York with his granddaughter. If he had had a daughter, and attended parties with her, the process of catching up would have been more gradual. As it was, we went through the liberalizing process of two generations in one big binge. Everyone realizes that things are done today that our fathers and mothers wouldn't approve of. We're 4hinking of women smoking—remember the furor about that? And the bloomer girls—remember how they horrified the righteous? We're not saying the Governor is right, or that Sof a Sunday school days #PHOTO “MEMO 4 MALL babies should have only soft, squashy toys. Why? Babies always stick playthings into their mouths.

But we must point that the Gow-rnnrl 'reported that “our girls came home unsullied.” May- be the other girls did, too, Governor. Maybe the youngest generation isn’t bad. Just different, i With all due respect to the Governor's sincerity, and convictions, one feels he ought to get out a little more. But perhaps his gubernatorial colleagues will not be so anxious to have him at their next party. | WORMS OF TOMORROW At the New York World’s Fair one of the most interesting scientific exhibits shows the growing of tomatoes by chemicals in an air-conditioned labora- tory tended by a physiologist wearing a white coat. Of even more interest to farmers watching the exhibit was the discovery that pests known as looping caterpillars were eating the scientific tomatoes with just as much enjoyment as they ate the common gar- den variety. “Practice Flight” (New York Times) The six-hour, twelve-hundred-mile “routine prac- tice flight” of 125 fully loaded British bombing planes over Southwestern France, with Bordeaux as the out- ward mark, supplies striking evidence of the capabili- ties and menace of the bombing plane of today. The flight was made at cruising speed only. It could have been made at a speed one-third faster, for the Blen- heim bomber has attained 290 miles an hour. The demonstration h: given England satisfaction and France great gratification, while in Germany the of- ficial reaction is intense irritation. For the people of Germany, however, the flight may well have provided food for thought. There will ensue, naturally, specu- lation as to what such a flight might have signified | if pointed at Germany and Italy. From London to Berlin the air distance is 583 miles; to Hamburg, 453 miles; to Bremen, 396 miles; to Frankfort, 398 miles; to Munich, 573 miles; while the air distance from Lon- don to Turin is 570 miles; to Milan, 598 miles; to | Genoa, 648 miles; to Rome, 900 miles. The air dis- tances from these cities to London are, of course, | identical, and such distances mean little to the war- | planes of today. { Germany could, of course, easily stage a demon- stration similar to that of Britain and both Powers could put on “shows” far surpassing this one. Ger- many has more than 2,000 heavy Heinkel bombers; and England, about the size of Alabama, with a popu- lation of nearly 40,000,000 and 68 cities of more than 100,000 of population, would certainly provide a lusci- ous target for the bombers of an enemy. But whereas a year ago Germany was credited with premacy, the word some months ago lessened to “superioril 'oday, or in the near future, it may well be “equal- ity”; or, for Germany perhaps less than that, for Eng- i land is coming very fast. Only a war could answer | the question. But bombing planes would bring ghastly ruin to both countries. | This “practice flight,” however, is illustrative of the tremendous force of an aroused Britain. Three years ago Britain had 30,000 men in fighting aircraft | production; today five times that number. Today she has more than 4,000 airplanes at home. Yesterday London gave out fresh figures for her 1939 prepara- tions. avy, $768,000000.” “Air, $1,063,000,000.” Further evidence that Britain is determined to meet any challenge in the skies is not needed. Freemen in Arms (Cleveland Plain Dealer) They're in the army now! Thirty-five thousand »f the 200,000 British youths called up in the first batch of conscripts reported to barracks yesterday for §ix months of training. And the regular army boys who will supervise their training were ready for them -with a difference. Many Americans can recall the “top kicks” and martinets—mostly shave-tail lieutenants—wlio made wmy life miserable for the enlisted man from the moment he stepped onto the parade ground. It is ntended there will be none of that in his majesty’s new force. Instructions have been issued that there is to no bullying, no rudeness and no sarcasm. That ioes not mean that the British army will be a col- lection of softies. It means that the young men of mpressionable age carrying a gun and going through heir paces for the first time will be really educated to the job of being soldiers. The reason why discipline is essential to a fighting force will be explained. The army will, its leaders hope, become an institution | (instead of one which they will seek to dodge whenever possible. Yesterday some conscripts came on foot, some in third-class railway coaches and some in limousines, | but once across the doorsill there was no further | social distinction. The man of wealth and his butler | may march shoulder to shoulder. Sugar is said to be the only food upon which the |brain feeds.

It is a time for forgetting anxieties and seeking recreation out - of - doors. Mars appears in ominous aspect. ‘Women are subject to exceedingly disturbing planetary influences which may cause great discourage- ment. The churches should be havens for the distressed. Under this sway there may be a strong inclination to quarrel with fate and to indulge in despair. Sui- cides are probable in cities where summer heat undermines courage. Workers partake of the mood of pessimism and may indulge in plots that interfere with important con- tracts. Labor difficulties may be es- pecially baffling for peacemakers. British shipping is to be unsatis- factory next month. The govern- ment may meet severe problems in economics as well as in internation- al policies. Next month there is a configura- tion indicated that is of evil por- tent to Belgium and Holland. Seri- ous internal crises as well as for- eign menaces are prognosticated. Many important public careers, will close before the autumn ends, it is prophesied. American states- men, as well as foreign ministers,, will pass. | In the United States an editor for-| merly powerful will retire from ac- | tive life. Changes in the manage-| ment of many newspapers are fore- cast, but journalism will benefit.

The morning is an unfavorable time to make plans or decisions. Un- certainty may mark the policies of national leaders. 1 Capitalists and heads of busi- ness may be cautious and even anx- ious under this configuration which threatens changes in the world's commercial relations. ! There is a promising sign for those who have the courage to make determined beginnings in ambiti- ous enterprises. Manufacturers will gain through demands for new ma- chinery necessary in modern busi- ness. The ultra-violet ray will be useful in many ways outside hospitals and physicians’ offices. Prospectors will gain through science which will bring them helpful methods of dis- covering minerals. Women will be lazy under this rule of the stars which presages suf- fering from the heat. Diet should be meagre and the sun should be avoided. Under this configuration agita- tion concerning psychic phenomena may be widespread. Communications through occult means may alarm the superstitious and interest the scientific mind. Belief in the supernatural may be occasioned by strange influences presaging coming events of amaz- ing character, the seers declare. | Persons whose birthdate it js have the augury of a year of activity and profitable industry.

Lead- ers in politics and philanthropy be- long to this sign. (Copyright, 1939) sl i P e LR l HOSPITAL NOTES | e AE RO TES.
