For remember, the brawl you

A hundred peeves in every
mail.
And 80 out of 100, based on
some Family Row.
Somebody can't get along
with his or her relations.
THEN WHY TRY?
Yes, I know there's a beautl-
full theory that birds in one
little nest should agree"-but
the human race has been try
ing for about fifty million
years to make that theory work
and has never succeeded yet.
So why not learn sense?
The plain truth Is that may
be we'll like our relations, out
the chances are just as strong
that we won't. And it's neither
unnatural nor ignoble If we
don't. The mere fact that sew
eral people share the same
name, blood and roof is no
guarantee that they have a
single, vital interest in COM
mon-or can become even
congenial, much less friendly.
The Alien KinsfOlk
And this applies to the most
intimate relationships. Your
sister or brother. your mother
or father, your own child, may
all be as alien to you as
African pignies. That's moth
ing against them, nor against
you. You all may be excellent
people, in your way-yet your
natures may be poles apa1t.
In that case, the effort to
establish close and affectionate
relationships is utterly futile
and bound to result in bitter
ness.
I have never seen statistics
on Family Rows, but I'll wager
they waste more time, energy
and valuable human emotion
than all the wars, peStilences,
earthquakes, droughts, floods,
fires and economic Slumps COM
bined. If there is an unmiti-
gated Public Enemy it's the
Family Row-yet we insist that
it's inevitable and ever eXcus-
able, in the name of love. But
Family Rows have nothing to
do with love, and it's as vicious
to spoil our lives "fightin' with

Claude G.. Bowers Discusses SnObbery

That is an astonishing story
that comes out of st. Paul.
that in some mysterious
fashion the books written by c.
A. Lindbergh, the father Of the
flier, have disappeared from
the public library.
Of course, the librarian will
take steps to recover them and
to prosecute the thief, posing
no doubt as a patriot" The
motive is easily understood.
The father of Lindbergh was
a member of Congress and
was considered a radical"
in conservative circles, because
he was convinced that the
country is ruled by a financial
oligarchy.
Mr.. Gerard, former ambas-
sador to Germany, recently said
the same thing in less often.

a few men as the rulers of the

He was an able man, who did

This was hardly fair. Now
that the hero has become
social favorite there are some
snobs who would like to erase
from the minds of men the
memory of the father.
1t must have been some such
snob who stole the Lindbergh
books from the library in st.
Paul. That is something of
which the author would have
been incapable. He was not
thief.
Melons Father Wrote
an Autobiography
It would be interesting to
have a list of books that have
mysteriously disappeared from
libraries.
There have been quite num-
ber here in America. Most Of
these have been sad reflections
on the great. Unless such books
have a very great popular sale
it is not a difficult matter to
arrange for their disappear
ance. Sometimes these books
are merely indiscreet and lack
ing in dignity.
AS distinguished as has been
the position in our national
life of Secretary Mellon, during
the last ten years, the news
papers have not discovered, in
their search for human inter.
est" stories, that the father OF
the financier, who laid the
foundation of the family for
tune. wrote an autobiography.
An Interesting Study
of the Seventies
It is a fascinating recreation
of the social and political at
mosphere of the Seventies.
1t is possible that this human
document, coming from man
but little known outside OF
Pittsburgh, attracted Scant at
tention and had but a small
circulation.
This may explain the impos-
sibility of finding it in public
libraries. No copy is to be
found in even the Congressional
Library, where, by law, all
books that have been copy
rtghted must be deposited.
There is one copy, however
in a non-circulating library IN
pittsburgh which should be IN
valuable to the future biogra-
pher of the head of the Treas
ury.

Born in Sweden, he had the
robust qualities of his race.
He believed in social justice and
in an economic policy that gives
the average man a chance.
OF course, the flier is not
ashamed of his father. even
though some of his admirers
would forget him. When the
young man, whose picture with
his father is in one of his

Looking for Breaks.
To a peculiar degree the Republicans
in Congress are dependent on the rise
or fall of Hoover stock in the next few
months. They come back here telling
frankly tales of the Presidents unpopu-
larity but they point out at the same
time that American political opinion is
tickle and changeful. In the wave of
enthusiasm which followed announce
ment of the German moratorium they
saw how quickly opinion can react in
favor Of a President. and it is for pre-
cisely such breaks that the Republicans
are looking.
They are happy over the rise in the
price of wheat, which, they think,
means a enforcement of Republican
strength in rural areas, and if by
chance general business should show
considerable of an advance Republican
hopes will rise materially. all along the
line. The President probably will have
for this reason better support from the
members of his own party than if they
controlled the House and Senate by
comfortable majorities.
One thing is certain--the next cam
paign is going to be brief. If some of
the leaders had their way, they would
nominate in September and make a
short, intensive campaign; but tradition
requires the holding of conventions in
June, and thus far no effort has been
made to upset it. The financing of the
campaign is going to be no small task,
but the stake is so great that large
contributions from individuals in both
parties may be anticipated

Gratis Believe Fate

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Less than a year from now the Amer
lean people will have elected PreSl-
dent for the term beginning March 4,
1888, and returning members OF Con-
gress are strangely unanimous in their
predictions, irrespective of party.
Both Republican and Democratic
leaders admit the business situation
existing next November will be the de-
termining factor There is some diff
ference Of opinion as to how much of
an upturn is necessary TO assure PreSi-
dent Hoover OF reelection, but there is
no disagreement on the point that IL
business is no better than 1t is today
Republican defeat for the presidency is
assured together with loss of both
houses of Congress. In other words, a
Democratic landslide is anticipated I'M
less there's a real improvement in
business.
What Is "Slight Upturn"?
Senator Tess of Ohio, Republican
National chairman. is quoted as saying
only a slight upturn" in business Is
necessary to re-elect Mr.. Hoover. The
question is. What is Slight upturn'?
The answer usually given is that the
people shall feel progress is being made
toward recovery, and that the country
shall actually feel it is in process of
emerging from the depression, Under
such circumstances the Republican slo-
gan would be, sit steady and don't rock
the boat; we're coming out of the
storm"
AS for the Democrats, they privately
concede their fortunes are wrapped up
in the business outlook and personali-
ties will have less to do with the case
than normally. If the tide is running
with them. they think any Democratic
nominee will win. II 1t is against them.
due to better business, their strongest
man will have difficulty getting an even
break.
The talk is all, OF course, on the
Democratic side that unless something
unforeseen develops there will be a
deadlock between the Roosevelt forces
and some opponent like Newton d.
Baker The latter is making no active
canvass or effort to become a candidate.

A FEW weeks ago the first examples Of Sir
Denistoun Hurney's "airship model auto

Crowds of people were astonished at the
gracefully curved machine with its one-piece

tests show it can attain . speed Of 80 miles

But automobiles are only q part Of the

Experiments performed by n Charles Maui,
rain Of the Aefonautics Institute Of st. Cyr

Quite q stir has been created recently over

Already trucks ON at least six freight lines

by making the front ends of the trucks smaller,
which cut down the air resistance. Drivers
found they could tell which direction the wind
was blowing by simply checking the amount
