Russia is How be- og courted and invited to share some of the spoils. In view of the long period of unrest and the fact that neither Russia nor Japan tr the ov.her, any agreement at | this time will be timporary, merely post- pening a showdown until a future date. Japanese military experts, writing in | Tokyo newspapers, are frank to declare that only a major turn in policy toward | Russia can save Japan “in the eventual | struggle with the United States.” It is taken for granted that “Japan will find herself confronted across the Pacific by a resentful and powerful United States.” The suggestion is made that a deflection of Japan’s armed might southward, resulting in a Japanese-American war, would be valuable for Russia. Along much the same line, Rear Ad- miral Seking stresses the advantage to | Russia in a pact with Japan, permitting the Soviet to expand southward. This Admiral does not view a war with the United States likely and suggests that “when the New Order is established every- where on the ruins of the British Empire, the United States also will be satisfied, be- cause it will have all of North America and part of South America.” It is something of a side issue, but we wonder what nation is expected to have the other part of South America. GRENFELL OF LABRADOR Ove of the world’s greatest humani- taria s was Sir Wilfred Thomason Gren- fe!!, whose long life of service came to an enc. a few days ago at the age uf 75. Most of his years were spent in ministering to | the physical and spiritual welfare of -La- brador fishermen, and he was universally known as “Grenfell of Labrador.” Born in. England, Sir Wilfred was a graduate of Oxfora University and re- ceived his medical degree at London Hos- pital. He entered the service of the Royal National Mission‘to Fishermen in 1889, and fitted out the first hospital ship for North Sea fishermen; also established homes and missions for them. as a medical missionary, since which time he raised fands for five hospitals, seven nursing stations, two orphanages, two large schools and operated several ves- sels for hospital and mission purposes, cruising along the coasts of Labrador and northern Newfoundland. In recognition of his remarkable achievements and self-sacrificing labors he was knighted by King George V; received honorary degrees from numerous univer- sities, besides the highest honors from vari- ous scientific societies and other organ- izations. 2 He served as a major in the Harvard Surgical Unit ir: Frahée during the World War, and in the midst of his busy life found time te write some 25 books dealing with adventure, health and religious matters. will be mourned by many throughout the world, but by none more deeply than by | the humble fisher folk whom he served so long and so well. ® The reason some newspapers have little influence is because readers suspect that somebody else has too much in- i fluence.

In this war if women are to meet death, why not give them a chance to deal out a lit- tle of it? Remember the old say- ing, “The female of the species is more deadly than the male”? s+ e Lost—Two Rings My paternal grandparents were married in 1866. In 1886, for their 20th wedding anniversary they had twin anniversary rings made, engraved “’66—’86”. Both of my grandparents died in 1906. \In 1916 the rings came into my possessicn. I was not old enough to be engaged officially to my sweetheart but secretly I knew he was the one. As we were in High School we had no money to jbuy rings but we conceived the idea of wearing those anniversary rings as “friendship rings”. He had Grandfather’s ring and I had Grandmother's ring. Mine had to be wound with string to keep it on. His seemed to fit nicely. One day during school vacation we went swimming at a small beach eoslony. When we came out of the water he found that his ring had slipped from his __ finger. We fetched and hunted for the ring but it was gone. I put Grandmother's ring away. In 1922, six years after Grand- father’s ring was lost, my young brother went to the same beach colony to swim. He swam and dove until he noticed something shining on the sea bottom. He fetched for it and came’up with aring. It was split open but part of the inscription .could still be read—“6—’86”. He brought it home and showed it to us. I 'recognized it at once, it was Grandfather's ring. I tucked it away beside Grandmother’s ring. In 1926 my apartment in New | York was burglarized and both rings were stolen. I hope the thief who stole them sold them for old gold to a fence who smelt- jed them dcwn. in the same smel- | ter. = Found—Two Bags The bus stopped at Lake City for a scheduled rest stop. One passenger. a friend of ours, took her place in the small lunch room for a smack. The bus driver came in and sat next to her. He open- ,ed the conversation, “Enjoy your jtrip or are vou glad it’s over?” he asked. “Well, P've enjoyed it so far and I guess I can take the \rest of it, although I'm anxious now to get home again”, she \said. He smiled, “Oh, I thought you were getting off here”. “No, Tm going on to Dade City?” A frown creased his face. “Have you got baggage?” “Yes. two pieces”. “Ts it airplane luggage?” he inavired.” He , jimped “off “thé stocl_ when she nodded. “Comé with me. auick.. There are two nieces of baggage standing out on | be ithe nlatform that might yours”. They went first to the baggage checker. “Have you got two bags for Dade City?” he asked. The baggage checker looked around. “No”. She got out her baggage checks. “Have you any baggage that corresponds with these numbers?” He checked again and again, the answer was, “No”. The driver said, “You'd better check the stuff on the plat- form”. They found a_ porter stahding guard over the two pieces of ituggage. They com- pared the ¢hecks, Dade City on the stubs, Lake City on the bag- gage. She breathed a long sigh of relief, then’ Said, “Phew!” The ariver looked surprised. “And ‘Phew!’ again”, she re-iterated, “but luckily only in my imagina- tion”, she laughed. “How long do you suppose they might have stayed lost?” “Possibly three weeks”, the driver answered. “Three weeks!” she exclaimed. “Do you know what [ have in one of those bags? Seven pounds of fresh home-made sausage—and right in with my clothes. Phew!” Lake City meat might have be- come Dade City reek. Please, Mr. Linotyper, don’t transpose the letters in Dade. Two Cats We have heard of lost cats who found their way home again, per- haps over a distance of miles. Some cats seem to be place-lovers and some are person-lovers. We had two kittens in Key West, named Key and West. West wan- dered away and took up his abode in a Key West house that he liked better than our station wagon. He thoroughly disapproved of his station-wagon home being moved and was quite disconcert- ed to discover it was missing on. occasions. He was a place-lover. Key was re-named Kiki, as it was found to be a more appro- ptiate title for her. She is a per- son-lover. Kiki can be let out of the car in downtown Tampa, in! any friend’s backyard, as long as we remain in sight, everything is right with.her world. If she does become frightened, shé makes a dash for the station wagon and up she goes onto the roof. Kiki, a born Key Wester, may be a person-lover, but we suppose, if she could talk she’d say, “When are you Sifig to take me home to Key West?” vies 6 Ex-husband, coming out of the courthouse ffom an alimony hear- U.
