Why the Oath2

A passport is an Americans introduction to for
egn country when he goes abroad. II Identifies him
and enables him to pass from one country to an
other and eventually to return to his own
In applying for passport, an American must take
an oath Of allegiance similar to that imposed upon
foreign born residents who apply for citizenship Just
Why Is a mystery.
The oath does not obtain the passport, because
birth certificate IS of value than swearing that
one will defend the country from a foreign foe. 1t
does little good except to give the American another
opportunity to show how good citizen he may happen
TO be.
Pacifsts. Quakers and others object to taking an
oath to bear arms in behalf OF any country. special
affirmation was devised few years ago for them. A
recent supreme court decision in citizenship case
raised the question of whether this special oath
longer could be used The state department finally
ruled that it could.
It may be that citizen viii be found who will
refuse TO take either test and will be denied pass
port What good would that do7 1t prevents the ndi
vidual from going out Of the country but does not
change his views
A passport Is convenience in travelling. Because
Of the inclusion Of the oath Of allegiance it has been
turned into test of citizenship To this appears

the slightest hesitation.
My love of ribaldry is not intense.
Most of the stories are not much
good, but they serve as symbols.
When fairly strong tale goes by
unrebuked, a barrier goes with it.
The woman who ficks her cigaret
and says, Have you heard this
one?" is bringing about a better and
a cleaner America.
A story with edge acts
as an ice breaker. 1t is not posi-
BILE to hold a serious and important
conversation until all the taboos
which chill the spirit have been
splintered.
Men and women talk much more
honestly to each other than ever
before in America because the need
for being flnicky is abating.

for the trade and travel likely to

there wouldn't be any Manchurian
fracas, but for that selfsame trade

but which is woefuly wrong.

Why World Wants Peace
A S it is, all the great govern

They may not succeed, but they
are trying, and that is a real limo

From times immemorial govern
ments have tried to make peace
when neighboring governments
threatened war. 1t was self Inter
est that moved them, but self Inter
est did not extend very far beyond
their own frontiers.
Trade and travel have girdled the
earth with self Interest. In that
lies the strength of the peace move
ment.

Grant, son of an Ohio farmer,
graduated from West Point in 1843

was working for his father at $500

Earlier FaVoriteS

MY earliest memory Of an Amer

Mary" sweeps the country. Surely,
no indictment against the women
readers can be based upon this de-
velopment.
They say that because OF the IN
fuence of women our literature
grows sick with sentimentalism and
that it lacks all rugged fiber. But
where's the proof of this assertion?
If the present literary taste has
become over sentimentalized through
feminine influence, what explanation
can be offered for the success Of
Ernest Hemingway, Theodore Drei-

Unfolding Vision

T IKE everything else, the craze
IL for speed can be overdone, but
that does not prove it illogical, or
unsound.
The desire to go faster, to cover
more ground, to break down dis
lance, is not an idle fancy.
Back of it is the desire to see
more, learn more and acquire a
saner appreciation of the world in
which we live; a desire in strict
accord with the first law of nature,
which is growth.
Speed may Cypress us with time
table, traffic rule and horror, but
it more than offsets the damage
with the larger vision it unfolds.

Speeding UpI

TT took Columbus sixty-nine days
Il to cross the ocean. What is
more, it took humanity 5000 years
and over to acquire sense enough to
concede him the privilege.
The Bremen could swing a dozen
ships like that in which Columbus
sailed to her davitS and walk away
without knowing the difference, but
the ship in which Columbus sailed
did not represent much of an i'm
provement over those Of the Phoeni-
clans.
We have gained speed mentally
as we'll as mechanically.

MUCH is written in these modern
1V1 times of the disappearance
of the old-time family physician
and his replacement by the special
lists, who are familiar with all details
of some single portion of the human
body or with certain types of
diseases.
The old-time practitioner had his
merits. Not infrequently he praC-
ticed by rule of thumb as we'll as by
science. Most of the time he was up
to the knowledge of his day.
He practiced particularly the art
of observation of the man as whole
and on the basis of these Observa-
tons he not infrequently accom-
plished a great deal for his patients,
even in instances where the modern
specialist may overlook conditions
because his mind is focused on
single point.
In a summary of his years of
practice, a general practitioner from
England has noted a few points
which are an indication of the type
of observation here mentioned.
