Not so long ago we were at a banquet, and dangling neckties caught our eyes. Then we began to reason about the ‘neck- tie, a sort of tail dangling from a man’s throat Mention evolution to a man, and al- most certainly he will speak of monkeys and their tails. But the monkey’s tail is of great use to him. Without it he would be at a loss when climbing, for he would be unable to swing from limb to limb, and his climbing would depend on his hands and feet, as in the case of a man, who, evolu- sionists assert, lived in trees before he took w we of today would appear tocay FMoweter all that may be, a necktie | more than an.appendage.

So that’s it—man adorning himself, as man in Pepes’ time, and in Dr. Johnson’s time, a century later, adorned himself with | a wig or frills on his wristbands. A necktie! Look at it closely and, while looking at it, think! A tail hanging from a man’s throat, or flying at h if he is in the street and the wing arer is stoop shouldered.

Be sensible like women, that ig, sible so far as exposing their threat a upper chest is concerned. We are inclined to be friendly Soviet Russia, but with we would not let the ¢ Russians write the ticket for the future world. AvoID FALSE IMPRESSIONS The American public, we suspect, is being misled and misinformed by the tendency of news agenc including all the facilities of the press and the radio, to play up protests, complaints and radical utterances of the disgruntled. There some difficulty in getting complete faetual studies of matters about which the headlines and commentators is | : display dissatisfaction. The average Amer- tends to believe that where there is so much complaint there must be something badly wrong. A Congressman, for example,.can get more publicity mental ‘official, or anybody and anything, than he can by making a-sensible, intelli- gent and reasonable speech on a question of vital interest. We know of no solution to this prob- lem as long as the public continues to ex- hibit more interest in a dog-fight, or a mud-slinging contest, than in an excellent performance of public duty. Nevertheless the people of this country should realize that what they is, for the most part, the grunts, and gripes of the discontented. ican naturally by We have a feeling that the Japs are ,* we | nearly convinced that they lost a war; have some doubt about the German con- viction along this line. LOW-FLYING DANGEROUS A ‘news report from Georgia tells of a 16-eyar-old school-boy, killed by a low- flying plane. This is the first aceident of this type that we have seen reported for some time. In the early days of the Arm training | of thousands of pilots, there were frequent |“ complaints about low-flying planes. As we understand the regulations re- lating to flying, pilots who pass over in- habited areas are required to maintain a minimum height, which, it is expected will provide a safety margin in the event of accident or mishap. Just how the regula- tion can be enforced, however, is another question and quite a problem lambasting a govern | aoncly nd [this letter and the enclosed pe- lat a meeting of the city commis- | are reading and hearing | tt groans | | complished in scarifying and roll- | | Everywhere jas and Angela.

She quickened her pace: stum- bled and recovered herself, —_ dcwn the rest of the hill, to doorway of the little fetter, ghe could not speak, only Stand there, panting, facing the astonished old man. Then she turned her head; she saw Miles, a few paces dis- tont, standing in the middle of the road. They looked at each other, a strange look, then he turned round and started up the hl again. “Sit down, Miss!” said the old man, pushing forward his chair. She pointed after Miles, and half fell into the chair. “All right!” said the man. “He won't bother you now, Miss. Just take it easy. . . .” He brought her a glass of water, and stood watch- ing her while she drank it. “Live near here, Miss?” he asked. “No,” she answered. “I...

This is important. “I hope you will believe that I have been, and I always will be, “Your friend, ‘JAMES FENNEL.” She could have wept, with de- light, with relief. He was her friend. He would come back— “But what happened to him that night?” she thought. Now she remembered what Miles had said. his words that “First I'd like to go somewhere | to telephone, please,” she said to the driver, and as the cab started, | she took out her vanity case, to see how she looked after al this. Angelina had given her that case. “Oh, if only I could reach her!” she thought. She had a_ vision of Angelina arriving at.
