A PREpOSTEROUS SUGGESTION

The prize for sheer eff7otc-y ought to be awarded
without further delay. to the American who wrote
circular letter to the hotel and restaurant men Of
Paris begging them to revise their methods Of cookery
that American tourists could cat as they accus-
toned to eat at home.
This man. 1t should be known, manages parties Of
American tourists and he has taken at least 1000
Of them about France Many Of them he said suffered
indigestion due to French cooking: would the Partisan
chef. be so kind as to rcvamp their style?
There many reasons for going to Paris. Not the
least Of them is the fact that the cooking there is df-
eren and in 50 per cent of the cases. infinitely better
than the cooking in this country. For American
fresh from this land Of hot dogs lunccounter dough-
nuts and aboninable Coffee to ask the Partisan

name in vain. Perhaps the Senti-
ments Of this one member Of my vast
public may express those for many
of you. Not so long ago giggled In
public because Miss Anne Morrow
said Augustus will speak for me-"
Mrs. So-and- so says this to me:
what difference does 1t make what
Miss Morrow calls her fiance? Whose
business is it? She may call him the
angel Gabriel, If she wants to, SO far
as I am concerned. Is there no liberty
in this country? Debating the worth
mess of lovers pet names seems to
me to be nosiness to the nth power.
Why not let the poor child alone? It
worries me to see perfectly good peo-
pie picked to pieces over trifles."
Yes, 1t probably is a shame. But
the lady is interested in knowing that
Anne calls him Augustus, just as we
were.

OUR NEW ATTITUDE

To appreciate to the full the in which Ambassador
Morrow has given all Of new attitude toward Mex
leo and her troubles consider the way in which the
American public has reacted toward the latest Mexican
rebellion.
Before this any Mexican revolt always brought forth
lot OF loose talk north Of the Rio 0rande about the
necessity for armed intervention. Tho idea
widely popular be sure there always plenty
people and newspapers to declare that would have
to send an army down and clean up that mess"
Not one peep Of that kind has been heard during the
present turmoil The whole United States has waited
sympatcticay for the CalIcsG regime to restore order
No one has suggested that ought to intervene
Ambassador Morrow, think, is largely responsible.

A STORY OF OUR TINES

In run -down suburban allotment the outskirts
of big mid western manufacturing city there stands
vacant house. wndowcss and forlorn unnlabited for
years.
One day recently ncghhors the form OF a man
moving about inside the old house They called the po-
lice who went place and found unconscious OH the
floor very old man. dressed in clothes that were no
more than rags wasted almost to shadow. On the
wall beside him pinned note l: read:
"Lcrcn Peters starved to death in this old
house Had bottle of choroform and razor.
Didn't know which to It takes SO long to
starvc to death 1t is getting dark. l can't write
any LOREN PETERS
But the old chap hadn't starved to death-not quite.
They took him to police station. poured hot coffee
down his throat, and put him to bed After while nc
woke up They let him rest for few days, and then
sent him to place called the Wayfarcrs' Lodgc-a
frame building where homeless can get soup and a
bed for saving little wood
Loren Peters of course was too feeble to any
wood So they gave him bunk and daily supply Of
food anyhow and let him sit around the place all day
sskng the sunshine when the weather was pleasant
and hudding indoors when 1t stormy And there he
is silent and uncompaining, browsing away the
spring days tired old at the absolute end OF his
ether waiting the death that almost caught with
him IN the abandoned house.
His story was quickly told. Hc had no home He had
OF subsistence Failing to find it, he had crawled into
the old house to die Death had not come fast enough
For eight days the old had covered on the bare
floor cold miserable hungry He did not 60 out Of
the house in that time.
There are all kinds Of interesting stories in the daily
papers, Some OF them unmportant, easily forgotten;
and some of them sharp and vivid. and stay in the
mind long after the paper has been thrown away. AT
times there beautiful stories that revsa the devotion
and loyalty and kindness Of the human race and at
times there are stories like this story Of old Loren Pc
ters.
What does story like this mean, anyway? How does
it come that things like that happen In this pros.
perous civilized America Of 1929? And what. II any
thing are we going to do about It?
There isn't, really, much that we can do right away

There is ono popular national magazine which owes

Advertising has become interesting TO the public
as the front page OF the newspaper and the Store

are many and man has learned to look to the advertise

and desires.
Advertising also indebted for its present universe

When Frances and Mary were lit

hands to keep from being afraid
Of the terrifying noises made by the
water as 1t ran out Of the old FASH
ioned bath tub and down the pipes.
The roarings, suckings. gurglines Of
that noise were to them the horrid
cries OF subterranean dragons and
blood thirsty vampires. At any mo-
ment they might have risen through
the pipes and spread in horrid shapes
through the bath room and nursery.
They told nurse about it but she
said they were q pair Of sillies. So
they used to hold each others hands
and whisper in unison magic form
ula OF their own invention. "You can't
come up. You can't come up"
Grown women now, they still re.

Answer: There Is no disease called

This disease resembles peoriaSts In
some respects. and should be cosTooted
