ably results in sudden death 70

has been discovered in a mule be-
longing to r. Mathers. who resides
south Of Riverside drive.
The dead mule has been care
fully disposed OF, and the Live

likely the commission viii request
that Mathers' animals be quaran-
tined and recommend vaccination
Of other animals in the vicinity.
Another animal died near the
same place recently but no post

pearance to black leg" Is char
acterized by sudden ~prostration. II
usually kills within a day or two.

Men are still stronger than measures. Machinery,
gigantic though it has become, yields before the power of
personality. Mahatma Gandhi, nationalist leader of India,
illustrates this. Small, thin, brown, wizened by his stead
fast adherence to an ideal, he has kept the whole world
watching him, waiting for his moves, wondering what an
effect they will have on world relationships.
For months all nations have been wondering if he
would go to England to attend the second round table
conference. These nations haven't been much concerned
over the absence or presence of other leaders. Their mis-
sion, apparently, could have been delegated to others with
little inconvenience. But every man has wanted Mahatma
Gandhi there, for the movement he leads is bone of his
bone, breath of his breath. He lives it continually.
Personal attraction, richness of natural talents are
not the cause of his tremendous influence. It NAV be
summed up In fewer words. A far-sighted, deep-siphted
loyalty to a conviction. Now that Gandhi has started to
Great Britain to take his seat at the gathering the leaders
of the world, who wanted him to be there, are rejoicing.
The sheer magnetism of his personality, built on his I'M
fatering devotion to what he believes is right and wise,
will undoubtedly have its influence.
1t is rather worth noting that no man can build UP
this type of personality, or gain such a wide influence, if
he sets out to do it for his own personal increase. He
can't make up his mind that he is going to do something
significant enough to stay on the front page. He has to
forget himself entirely by losing himself in some great
principle, some mighty conquest.
Whether Gandhi's position is the wisest one is not the
point. 1t is his self-annihilation for the purpose Of pro-
noting right as he sees it that astonishes the world.
Whenever a people have needed a leader, one has
always appeared, ever since the days when Moses led the
children of Israel through the wilderness. A good many
of them have had to grid themselves with sack cloths
and sshes, in one way or another, which is almost the
81 :. that midas chieftain has adopted. But it is a fairly
safe prediction that none Of the old leaders has exerted
as much personal magnetism as the unassuming little old
man from the East.

Natural Human Reaction

The quickest way to a mans sympathy is through an
appeal to a sense of hunger. Just after he has eaten, and
is beginning to feel satisfied with everything from the fit
of his new dinner coat to the status of worldwide finances.
he is more generous than at other times. Mrs. Sherburne
president of the Greenwich Social Service Lea
que, at Greenwich. Connecticut, is capitalizing on this
knowledge to aid the hungry of her community.
AT social dinners in Greenwich all guests are being
asked to contribute a dime toward charity. 1t doesn't
mean as much as a tip ordinarily would. But it is ex-
pected that it will bring in $500 a month.
Human nature has a queer twist. If people are told
that Johnny Jones is hungry they Immediately supply him
with enough food to last three months. But if they sead
that thousands of other small boys have hollow places in
their stomachs the idea is too large for them to grasp. The
personal appeal. or some method of challenging interest.
is more effective.
