"HEADLINE PHOBIA"

100 many people are suffering
from headline phobia. That is not
criticism of the newspapers with
their headlines. It Is criticism OF
those people who having taken in the
various headlines on the front page
read no further, think no further, and
then have q headline conception of
social conditions which is disastrous
In the extreme"
This Is q comment from a recent
address and 1t is pertinent. The
readers of newspapers should not de-
pend either on the headlines or on
the editorials: they should read and
weigh for themselves. In that way
only may they acquire for them
selves q representative opinion re-
speeding affairs.
This is no light undertaking. For
that matter neither is the right Of
the free-born citizen to have IN
opinion Of his own a light obligation.
1t Is a priceless right II 1t be used,
otherwise possession Of 1t will surely
pass to others control. Those who
are best informed we suspect find 1t
necessary not only to read through
for themselves, but not infrequent!y
to read between the lines.

WHY IN THE LEAGUE?

Spain insists on being classed
with the higher-ups in the League
of Nations. Spain is a dictatorship,
emulating the dictatorship of Italy.
The League ostensibly is to prevent
war. A dictatorship such as Musso-
lini's inevitably leads to war. 1t
lasts only so long as it may hold
support. To do this it must COM
mand attention. When one expe-
dent for doing that is exhausted
and attention wavers another must
be employed, to hold it. And the
last eXpedient of them all. to which
the dictator comes il meanwhile he
doesn't pass out of the picture, is
war. And yet relationships are
demanding place in the League.
Perhaps they have forgotten what
the League is for; perhaps they do
not care. Assistance such a MEM
Der might give would seem to be
somewhat problematical.

AS the little rabbit hoped along,
Listening to the happy song
OF bird in bush or leafy tree,
Or cricket on the grassy lea,
all of a sudden, as he crossed the
road that led to Rabbitville,-that
well-worn highway to that quaint
little town which boasted of Mr..
Lucky Lefthindfoot's Savings Bank
and the famous Three-1n-One Cent
Store, a voice shouted:
Look out for the Little Highway

Goodness me, how that warning
startled the bunny boy. Up and
down the road he looked, but never

the puzzled little rabbit. half aloud,
again anxiously looking here and
there and everywhere. while his
heart went pitter patter, and his
knees a-clitter clatter against each
other, and his pink nose twinkling
with fright like star on frosty
night.
"Then don't do It," laughed the
voice, and down from nearby tree
top fluttered Jimmy Jay that mis-
chievous little bluebird who is al

lieved to find mischief at hand
rather than danger. What do you
mean. and where is the Little High
wayman? l believe you're only fool
ing"
There he is" cried the naughty
little blueiay. and out from the low
bushes close to the edge of the
Shady Forest darted a yellow bird,
a black feather mask across his
face, reaching well back on the sides
of his head. Not another black
feather married the olivesreen of his
coat and fine yellow vest.
Don't come nearer" he warbled,
for this queerly marked bird belongs
to the family of warblers and is
