1T has been demonstrated that hui
l. man beings tend to inherit va
rious characteristics 1t is known,
for instance, that blue eyes tend to
run in certain families.
Some families are characterized by
a streak of white hair on the fore
head, and there are other inter
esting manifestations.
In a recent number of the Jour
nal of Heredity, a Norwegian in
veStigator, o. L. Mohr, describes a
family of Scandinavians in which
there was tendency to inherit
woolly hair.
This family lived in the same part
of Norway for a long period Of time
and had kept careful record of the
members Of the family.
In the Norwegians the head was
covered by curly, frizzly hair like
that which is characteristic of the

II Never Touched Me

I'VE never been scared off much
l. by this bad example. None of
my worst impulses has been frus-
trated by the thought: Romans
dead these long years did just what
you purpose doing now. They took
the second cocktail, and the city
fell-not to mention going 'boom!'"
But, after all, look at the fun it
had. Even the austere decline and
turn to dust. Now that it is all

I would welcome a little more
smoothnesS in our stock.
And once again I wish to take
exception to those oft-repeated
words "just like the days of ancient
Rome" Who says so? DR.. Burr,
for all his span of three score years
and ten, with one for good measure,
just wasn't around when RomuluS
and Remus first began the develop
ment of the seven hills. He never
saw great Caesar or heard the fiddle
of Nero shrill on bright-lit nights.
Rome may have been better or
worse than life along Chestnut
street, but until 1 get first-hand
report from some old settler I'll not
take seriously any of these compare
sons.
Frankly, I have never been en-
tirely clear in my mind as to what
made Rome fall. I have heard
feminism blamed and liquor and
the continental Sabbath. I even
have a vague memory that one of the
historians pointed out that the de-
cline began a little while after the
Romans abandoned whole wheat
bread. But fall the city did, and
even to this day many act as though
it were a personal calamity.

NR. CHARLES W. BURR,

DR. CHARLES w. BURR, a
- psychiatrist of Philadelphia,
says that Americans are getting soft
and mushy.
America today" he declared,
"has all the degradation of ancient
Rome, without any glorification. The
average person is an imbecile, and
America is failing, mentally speak
ing, because our homes and schools
are negelecting to teach character
DR.. Burr said all these things as
a sort of greeting to the world
around him on the occasion of his
seventy-first birthday. Obviously he
didn't get the white muller or the
embroidered slippers on which he
had set his heart.

PARTICULARLY I am puzzled by
( those who insist that what we
need is more character. It seems
to me that "all of Gods chillun got
character" Some of it is good, and
some of it isn't. One mans char
acter may be another mans poison.
I doubt that there is any over
Whelming evidence that America as
a whole is soft and musfy. I would
regard that as a consunmation de-
voutly to be wished.

screen, for the real purpose of
Japan still lay in Manchuria, as
later events proved.
THROUGHOUT February and
l. March, despite efforts of
America and other powers to bring
peace in Manchuria, the Japanese
campaign continued.
The Chinese refused to discuss
peace terms until the Japanese in
vaders retired from their soil; this
the Japanese refused to do.
In May, the militarists of Japan
gained added strength, when there
developed a fresh outbreak of politi-
cal assassinations and bomb throw
ing by young army and navy off,

replaced by a new government,
merely a tool of the army.
Northumberland Sada Araki,
Japan'S minister of war, became the
power behind the new government.
He is still in control.

Japanese minister of foreign affairs,
announced plans to recognize a new
republic in Manchuria, to be known
as Manchukuo.

"recognized' this puppet state of
her own creation. A government,
which guaranteed all existing Japa-
nese rights in Manchuria was set
up under the regency Of the former
boy emperor of China, Henry Pu-yi.
Japan organized this government,
wrote its constitution, selected its
personnel, stated its officers with
advisers, supplied money and guard
ed the whole Setup with a strong
military force. That is the situation
today.
THUS another chapter has been
l. written in the history Of
Japan'S expansion by force of arms.
1t follows the aggressive little en-
pire's seizure of the Kurile Islands
in 1875. Formosa in the Chinese
japanese war of 1895; Kwantung
and Sakhalin from the Russians in
1905; and the ultimate annexation
CT Korea in 1910.
When the League of Nations as
sembly meets in Geneva in Novem-
Der, it will have before it a report
by commission of disinterested
neutral Investigators whom it sent
to Manchuria last summer.
This long-awaited report of the
Lytton commission, recently made
public, is unfavorable to the jap
anese; it refuses point blank to
recognize Japanese domination over
Manchuria and emphasizes China'S
right to suzerainty in that region.

BOSTON, Oct. 29.-Once again
the happy warrior" Alfred E.
Smith, apparently has insured vic
tory for the Roosevelt Garner ticket
in the Bay state.
With his witty shafts at Repub-
lican enemies and friendly refer
ences to Frank" Roosevelt. Al has
changed the political situation al
most over night. Even before Al
sent an audience of $4,000 into
laughter and tears with his Boston
address, Democratic leaders insist
ed they would win this states
seventeen electoral votes.
Now they say there is no doubt
of the outcome, and hope Rhode
Island has been won back to the
national ticket.
The town still is grinning gaily
at the memory of its hero's wit and
repartee. The question when two
people met is, Did you hear ALP"
and almost everybody did, either at
the hall, at overflow meetings, or
over the radio.
Laugh, Weep With Al
His admirers arranged house
parties, and had their friends in
to weep and laugh over their idols
return to Boston and the regular
fold. Only unexpected develop
ments not now discernible, Demo-
Gratis contend, can save the state
for President Hoover.
1t was feared he had hurt the
Democratic cause with his New
Jersey speech reviving the religious
issue, but Smith smoothed out diff
ferenceS here. 1t is known that
certain close friends gently criti-
cised his Newark effort, and insisted
that he speak more enthusiastically
for Roosevelt and Garner.
All took the advice and made
amends. He Cancelled a dinner and
reception here to spend more time
on preparation CT his speech, ana
he was at his best.
Brings Back Harmony
Incidentally, he took time out to
justify his Newark references to

CHICAGO, Oct. ga forecast of
tremendous Roosevelt victory
was made here by ex-senator James
A. Reed of Kansas City as he rested
in Chicago from campaigning.
He came from st. Paul, where he
made a speech, and tonight is billed
for Milwaukee. The MiSSourian
told a new campaign story he got
out in the corn and wheat belt.
"A farmer" said Reed, was found
who had switched from Roosevelt to
Hoover. He was asked why. The
farmer answered: Tits an economy
move. The Republicans are going
to take all our farms for taxes and
then I'll homestead mine"

The commissions was headed by
Lord Lytton, an Englishman, and
included an American, a French
man, an Italian, and a German.
The American was Major General
Frank R. Mccoy.
The United States government
likewise refused to recognize the
fruits of Japan's militarism in
Manchuria. But Japan, ap-
parently cares little - she has
Manchuria now and, from all in
dicationS, intends to keep it.
Never before has a nation been
placed on trial before the world,
accused of international robbery,
as Japan will be at the forthcom-
ing momentous session of the
League of Nations, as the following
summary shows.
= Il
Japan is accused of violating
- three great international treaties
which bind the leading nations of
the world, each of which Japan
signed.
These treaties are:
1. The nine-power Pacific treaty,
signed at the Washington arms
conference of 1922, which guaran-
tees the integrity of China.
q The Kellogg BRAND treaty to
outlaw war by pledging nations to
abolish war as national policy.
3. The covenant of the League of
Nations, an instrument for settling
disputes between member nations
without application to force and
which calls for mutual consent in
the readjuStment of boundaries.
TAPAN'S defense follows:
- l. With regard to the nine
power Pacific treaty, the japanese
reply that conditions in China hac
become so impossible that Japan
her neighbor, was compelled tt
take action to protect japanese in
terests. (The United States po-
Sition is that when Japan signed
this treaty she was well aware Of
the unfortunate conditions in China
and the fact that conditions may
have grown worse can not be usec
as an excuse for violation.)
2. With regard to the Kellogg
BRAND pact, the Japanese reply
that they have committed no vio-
lations; that their actions in Man
churia were in self-defense, and ii
accord with reservations made by
leading countries. ut now is to bt
determined whether Japan acted il
Self-defenSe)
3. With regard to the covenant
