Joyce reads perfect trash! I never
have censored her reading because !
don't believe in it. But recently ]
have begun to wonder whether 1t was
not q mistake to have given her such
entire freedom.
THE other day on her study table I
found a lot of sensational magazines
and some Of the most vulgar rubbish
that ever was printed in book form.
I can't understand why her tastes
should turn that way. She never has
seen anything but good literature at
home. We have taken pains to ex-
pose her always to the best"
Children have a way of doing Just
that sort OF thing. When you have
taught them to value the finer things,
when you r. confident that you have
succeeded in immunizing them
against all that is meretricious and
vulgar, then one day you find in their
hands the most lurid of paper backs,
the trashiest of magazines!

LOOKING INTO THE ABYSS.

Drab and ugly, without ono relieving flasl, OF lightncss
Is the Chicago murder story in which Mrs. Catherine
Cassler has the central part.
A year ago Mrs. Casslcr was in jail, sentenced to hang
Tor The murder OF a boarder. whom she was accused OF
having killed for his insurance.
Some twist OF the legal machinery Cancelled the SEN
tcnce and she was freed. She went home TO her husband.
and found a young and pretty girl boarding at his home.
Mrs. Cassler is in middle age and is stout. Perhaps
she saw. in this charming boarder, an obstacle TO the re-
sumption OF the happiness she once had known. At any
rate, the girls lifeless body was found beside a roadway
a few days later. and Mrs. Casslcr was rc-arrcstcd on a
new charge Of murder.
There is a queer. dull blackncss to this story, some
how. Mrs. Cassler is not getting a great deal OF public
sympathy. That, usually, is reserved for defendants who
are yo,lnc and pretty. She is neither; Just squat, stolid
and hocclessly middle-agcd, a woman to whom Life had
denied many things.
Yet her story-a sordid tale Of passion, hatred, dis
enlargement and graphing dcsire-is one OF those things
you cannot ignore.
It has no "redeeming features as a feature writer
might say. Il is all blac. and ugly. 1t is a slice OF life,
worth studying because it reveals the depths to which
human misery and human passions can descend.
This world Is a queer place, not to be understood by
any OF US. 1t has shining heights and squalid depths.
horrible in their darkness. Neither can be explained. All
we can do is recognize the fact that they are there.
There are strangely beautiful and heart warming things
in life. sometimes. Every man, at one time or another,
meets some experience, sees some act of heroism or kind
ness or nobility that persuades him that the race is, after
all, but little lower than the angels.
Then, on the other hand, there arc moments when the
dreadful abysscs that life holds stand fully revealed; mo-
ments when we realize that II this earth can be very
like heaven, at times, it can also be very like hell.
This miserable story from Chicago brings that kind of
realization.
What can we do about it? Nothing at all. We cannot
harmonic 1t. We cannot explain it. And, if We arc
sensitive, We cannot ignore it.
All we can do is recognize the fact that horrible, black
things do happen; that side by side with exaltation and
achievement there exist dark despair and hopeless, violent
passion.
This, perhaps, will not give us optimism, but may give
us something better-tolerance and sympathy. At the
very least 1t will keep us from being de!uded about life
And that Is something.

Superfluous Hair

cannot afford the electric needle as

cry day but they keep coming back. I

what discourage the growth Of these
hairs If you will use one of the rosin
and wax preparations now on the
market. This comes in a cake, and

Answer-Sometimes there is q GER.

WHY NEW YORK IS UNPOPULAR

New workers. often are both irritatcd and puzzled at the
antagonism toward their city which is felt in the rest Of
the country.
Perhaps II they will consider what recently happened to
the casino IN one OF its big parks they will understand.
ms g you know. is the great park set down in the
midst Of the city to give fresh air, sunlight, green grass
and trees to the myriad OF poor slum dwellers who would
never see them otherwise. In the middle Of it is a
casino. built on city land and operated under the c;ty,s
guiding hand. where refreshments are served.
Recently this casino was overhauled. claborately fur

%PUBLICITY'S POWER

Probably very little sympathy need
be wasted on Madame Rosika
Schwimmer, So. known as the woman
without a country" for her own coun-
try. Hungary, has expatriated her.
and America refuses her citizenship
papers because she will not say that
in time Of war she would bear arms
for her country"
She needs no sympathy, for this
very publicity helps make vivid her
cause OF pacifism.
Just as Margaret Sanger of the
birth control clinic wants no SYM
pathy for the recent raid on that or
~ganization. focusing the public's eye
upon its work and problem. Just as
Mrs. Mary Ware bennett should be
very gratified for the impetus her own
prosecution gave the cause of sane
sex education.
BETTER PUBLICITY HOUNDS
Women. however, as a class, are not
yet educated to the value of publicity
as are men. What woman, for in
stance, would have herself nailed into
a packing case and shipped thousands
Of miles in order to get inside a Holly
wood studio for whom there had only
been a mo Admittance" sign before?
That's what Charles Loeb did a few
days ago.
Women may not do the spectacular
stunt like this to attain their chance,
but Hollywood casting directors say
that hundreds and thousands of girls
will stand the ''gaff" Of w~aitrcssing
and cash-girling and doing all kinds
Of drab. mental labor just to wait
their chance for the studio job, while

big shot SOC get discouraged and
trek back home to an easier way Of

TWIN DIVORCE
Two twin sister wives recently ap-
peared before a Los Angeles lawyer
asking divorces from their twin
brother husbands. Somehow that
sounds a little thick-as If the ladies
were intrigued BY the colorful public
.ty phase Of the case rather than
deeply oistraught about the necessity
of the divorces.
Still. perhaps it's consistent at that.
Perhaps the two sisterly tcmpera-
mcnts were so alike as to find it
necessary to divorce two brothers, also
with too like tcmperaments.
NO, NO!
A school-marm Of Cambridge, Mo.

had hired a substitute for her classes
while she was gone, and rather cx-

If that really happened the mil

the edict %forbidding the tennis players
at Wimbledon to play bare-legged.
Officials at Wimbledon merely issue
the notice, explaining that the public
comes to see tennis. and not to be
distracted by bare legs.
Oh hum, somehow one is inclined
to believe that the public has
reached the stage where it can OBJ
serve tennis played by stockingless
players with considerable aplomb, and
quite keep its eye on the ball.
Since the whole souled purpose Of
modern hosiery is to initiate nudity,
n finds 1t hard to see why actually
nude legs should be at all out of the
way. AS a matter of fact, with the
problem Of keeping stockings up what
it is. the fad seems eminently sensible
for tennis playing.

nREs1DENT HOOVER made a

DRESIDENT HOOVER made q
l. very strong case for the repeal
or modification Of prohibition in his
first annual message to congress. To
be sure, this was not his intention.
But when man undertakes to argue
one side Of a public question and
succeeds in strengthening the case
for the other, his words must have
a peculiarly persuasive power.
Not even the most partisan poll
tieian has dared to question the
sincerity OF the executive on this
particular issue, and so it must be
that the fault lies with the cause
and not the advocate.
The dilemma into which President
Hoover led the drys may be out
lined very briefly. He began his
prohibition plea with the statement,
1.-THE enforcement of the laws en-
acted to give effect to the eigh-
tenth amendment Is far from sat-
isSactory--."
Later he added, eff the citizen
who is himself dependent upon some
laws for the protection Of all that
he has and all that he holds dear
shall insist upon selecting the par
tieular laws which he will obey, he
undermines his own safety and that
Of his country"

Full Steam Ahead

President Hoover has completed the measures
which he frankly states undertaken ITO counter
act the effect of the panic in Wall Street"
Rediscount rates have been lowered and credit
made easier. Wages to be kept up and labor dis
putes and layoffs avoided. Public and private con-
struction of all kinds is to be expanded. Leaders in
all branches of business have pledged cooperation
in keeping the wheels turning And finally a contin-
ung economic council is being formed outgrowth
of the Presidents conference with 400 business repre-
sentatves.
This economic council will collect and study in
formation on conditions with the object of preventing
depressons like those which have visited the country
in the past and which threatened as result of the
stock market collapse.
It will be in position to act If emergencies arise,
and to plan ahead to prevent recessons 1t provides
voluntary machinery of kind often suggested but
which never before has existed
The President and his advisers optimistic and
believe the program will allay fear and keep business
going in normal fashion The President admits that
undue pessimsm, fear, uncertainty, and hesitation
in business" had been created. But he IS confident
of the underlying soundneSS of conditions.
The program has been largely psychological But
the 5O00OOOOO of $4,000 100000 in construction that
has been pledged is tangible. So is easier money.
Efforts of the President mark high point IN the
cooperation of government and business, and In the
cooperation Of the elements of business themselves.
There has been no coercion, legislation. Instead
OF waiting for a possible depression, however, the
President has acted to foreStall in the
future.
It's up to the country to go ahead and to follow
the terse advice of the President-"work.'
