HERE’S ANOTHER MODERN HERO Our present nomination into the ranks of modern heroes goes to Andrew Kowal- chuck, 30-year-old mechanic, who risked death to save the life of an eight-year-old boy, in New York State. It seems that the youngster, climbing a tree, reached out to catch a pole, which was charged with 2,300 volts of electricity. | As the current paralyzed his body, an ear- splitting scream sent his playmates seurry- ing for help. Two men, passing, started up the tree until they saw what was the matter. A third, Kowalehuck, succeeded in reaching the boy, who was unconscious, with hands and face turning blue. While current | passed through his own body, the me-! chanic managed to pry the boy loose and get him to the ground. Both recovered al- thouah officials declared that they owed | their lives to dry weather and the dryness of the limb on which they stood. This incident illustrates a theory which we frequently expound, to wit, that the average man and woman of this age is The 40-hour week in the post office| just as brave and courageous as anybody department entailed a loss of $30,000,000, | whoever lived and that, given the date and caused the first deficit conceded by} with fate, they play their roles in life with Postmaster General Farley since he took} yalor and honor.

Employers who have; Upon the heroes of chivalry. been successful in their lines and then turned their business over to others have found the truth of this statement to their sorrow. Yet in many cases their own suc- cess has sprung from that experience. The “candid” in candidate is over- looked by most of them. Evolutionists say that man sprang from a monkey. Perhaps, we are positive that men spring from a dog, on occasions. People who can but will not do any- thing for their community, will do some- thing really worth while when they pass on, THE COMFORT SHOVEL In a facetious article the Springfield, Union tells of the invention of a new “comfort shovel” for WPA workers, devised by a humanitarian in that city. The new shovel is said to be the greatest boon for tired humanity since the advent of the rocking chair, The invention was inspired, it is said, by complaints of WPA workers that the shovels issued them are too short to lean on, and too high to sit on.

Great Britain, France and Russia were not so closely united but had certain understand- ings They were known as the Triple En- tente. When the Great War started, Italy hesitated, then tente. it is not true to say blindly that “history repeats itself, but there has just occurred a spectacular and sig- nificant return of these same coun- tries to the old associations. Germany and Austria have just entered into an agreement and probably Hungary will be sympathetic if not actually an active ally.

Not long ago France entered into a treaty with Russia which was the. excuse, if not the cause, for the Ger- man occupation of the Rhineland. Great Britain seems to be attempt- ing to retain: the good-will of Ger- many by making as many conces- sions as possible but will presumably not desert France These are clear signs that Great Britain, France and Russia will cnce more come together in opposition to the group that were formerly the Triple Alliance. In the meantime all countries are increasing their armaments — even some of the smaller and more pacific ones such as Sweden. The similarity of conditions to those before 1914 is striking in many ways and appar- ently the dange~ of a general war is growing every day.

One is that of the cynic and the de- featist. He is skeptical of all efforts at international cooperation and crit- | ical of the League of Nations, the World Court and other organized ef- forts to prevent war by collective effort. Probably his attitude is today the prevailing one in the United States, Others urge a different approach, They say that it is not the League of Nations that has failed. They point | out that the League is only an asso- ciation through which the various countries have undertaken to work in the settlement of some of their problems. They declare that the fail- ure should be called a failure of the countries to use their own associa- tion. Moreover they challenge critics of such an organization to propose an- other and better procedure. Many | problems now involve a large nume | ber of countries. Economie and po- litical life are so intricate that what is done by one country seriously af- fects many others. [taly’s conquest of Ethiopia and Japan's activities in China are of tremendous importance to everybody all over the world. Un- less ways can be found for collective action to restrain aggressor countries no country is safe. This second group clearly have the stronger argument. At present the League of Nations is sorely beset. If it is abandoned without a'substitute, there is nothing in sight except the consolidation of these new alliances which are so much like the old ones. The old cries of pre-war days did {| not prevent war but did much to make war more certain. The new ones threaten the same result. At present the outlook is dark. New alliances for old one¢ s¢em to be bringing new wars.
