4 AZ whole If has been series OF important
iNI decisions, yet perhaps the most momen-
tous Of all was when decided to leave that
glorious country Of Italy. where I had been
studying art as the reward for winning a
scholarship at the Royal College Of Art In
London, to return to the prosaic pavements and
gray skies Of Manchester to assist In the mill
tant suffrage movement begun in that city by
my family. I clearly realized was handicapplng
myself in my struggle to master my art, yet I

ing none and acting deliberately with much
deep thought but little hesitation. I was at
that time in great poverty and having o hard
struggle to find mere bread. From then on
ward, the decision whether to put my personal
career, comfort and artistic work first or to
consider the suffragette movement paramount
had constantly to be made. The decision was
always the same: The movement must have
first place.

IRON the point of view of my work, what
J was probably the most important conscious
decision in my life was to abandon q career as
q popular writer for magazines in order to
devote my entire time to the completion OF o
novel, which at that time had, thought, no
chance of being a financial success.
There was no longer struggle involved In
this; wished to do it, but hesitated long
time In making the decision because was past
80 years of age, I had endured considerable
poverty. my previous novels had been financial

Greatest Decision [ Ever Made"

the youth which would be my greatest handicap
In the theater would be an asset in the pictures.
I reached this conclusion after studying the
films closely
The prospect of a personal success was of
small consideration, as the films at that time
were looked upon as the very lowest form of
disgraceful entertainment. most people from
the theater changing their names when they
entered them, believing that the knowledge
that they would do such a thing very harmful.
But I did believe that they would be helpful to
me as an actress, as they would give me the
chance to study myself. Furthermore, believed
in their future, as they held hope Of a new
and strange kind of beauty.

I doubt whether should have done otherwise
II they had not existed
The first resolution was inspired by strong
desire to discover some indubitable knowledge
somewhere; in fact, my mood was closely anal
ogous to that described by Descartes in his
"Meditations." I do not think that either the
prospect Of material success or morality played
any part whatever in generating my purpose
In the second case, was Influenced partly
by a regard for truth, because governmental
propaganda everywhere consisted mainly Of
lies but still more by sorrow at the thought Of
the young men who were to be killed for
entirely futile reasons. do not know whether
to call these things moral principles, but to me
they were passions just as strong and CON-
pelling as cupidity in a miser or sexual passion
in a man In love.

HON. BERTRAND RUSSELL.
British Author

4 Az life, like that of Faust, has been divided
w sharply into two periods, one before
August, 1914, and one since. For the earlier
period, the decisive resolution was reached at
the age of IL, when first began the study Of
Euclid, who, had been given to understand
demonstrated the truth of his assertions. The
discovery that he began by assuming various
propositions, in favor of which he advanced
no evidence, was great disappointment to me.
and I resolved there and then to try to dis
cover whether there was any reason to believe
in the truth of mathematics, matter which
occupied me for the next 27 years. At the end
of that period felt that had done all
could in this direction.
The second formative resolution Of my life
was in the first days of the war, when decided
to adopt publicly an attitude Of neutrality and
of criticism of all the governments concerned.
This led me on to an investigation Of the politi-
Cal, economic and psychological causes of war,
and ultimately to an interest in education.
The first of these two resolutions was reached
spontaneously without any struggle and with
out any consultation with others 1t was, in
deed, scarcely conscious, although it completely
dominated my life for long time.
The second resolution involved sharp inner
struggle, through the pressure OF circumstances
required that the struggle should be very brief.
At this crisis was encouraged by the existence
of few friends who thought as did, though

THE LAME DUCK SESSION

The lame duck session of the Seventy second
congress opens today face to face with grave duties
The balance of power rests with fourteen lame duck
senators and 100 lame duck representatives.
They can call these duties mot our babies" or
they work periodically to meet them. Indeed
they have the opportunity to work with a states
manship aloof from political considerations
First they must do something about hunger re-
lief Between 100000 and 100000 of their fellow
Americans are jobess and undernourished. The
$15OO00OOOO job-makng fund voted on July % is in
a log jam.
1t is estimated that out of every 81 900 that con-
gress voted for self-liquidating works the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation has loaned only "a
cents At the R. F. C's own estimate, jobs have been
made for few more than 10000 men. And of the
$3OO0OOOOO hunger fund.- only $72OO0,0OO has been
loaned.
The governments relief program must be made
to flow faster down to the people It's terms should
be lberalized not forgetting the 100000 Inherent
youths now unprovided for.
Steps also should be taken toward national eco
nomic planning, jobess insurance and old-age pen
sion aid shorter work periods, abolition of child
labor, employment services and revival of foreign
trade through decent adjustment of war debts
Russian recognition tariff reduction agreements and
disarmament.
The budget must be balanced with sane econ
omes, on the one hand, and just revenue measures
on the other The former means cutting the veteran
appropriations for non-service disabilities and the
army-navy budgets. The latter means eighteenth
amendment repeal and immediate Vostead modi-
hcation, to legalize taxable beer.
Delay on most of these questions is compound

new administration to take charge.

THE REPEAL VOTE

test of representative government will be made
today when the house, in its opening session,
votes on outright prohibition repeal. The people
voted one month ago. They voted overwhelmingly
for repeal 1t remains for congress to vote as the
people have instructed.
Repeal means repeal. 1t does not mean revision
of the eighteenth amendment, as proposed by the
Republican platform and President Hoover. The
subterfuge was defeated last month, insofar as
national election can decree.
Responsibility rests with the Democrats. They
control this house. They together with progressive
allies, control this senate.
There can be no confusion as to the Democratic
partys pledge 1t is distinctly not revision of the
incumbered repeal through the method of special
state conventions.
Thus in their Garner repeal resolution vote to-
day, Democratic representatives either will honor
their pledge and the election mandate or they will
break their partys faith and defy the popular will
Republican representatives, though not bound by
an outright repeal platform in part bound by
individual repeal pledges, and all of them should be
influenced by the election referendum.
In addition to the issue of representative govern
ment, today's vote involves social and political
reform to reduce racketeering, crime, and corrup-
billion and half dollars in revenue for an over
taxed people and dehct-rdden government.
The issue is clear.

listen with some concern.

such procedure would be unsafe.
Therefore, it is customary to add
antitoxin to the toxin, which pre-
vents it from working harm, but
does not prevent the body from
responding to the injection Of the
toxin by building up more resist

Toxin is merely toxin detoxified
