A Woman's Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUsON=

They failed of permanent victory
because they did not know how to
laugh. They were always too sober.
And seriousness carried to excess
produces the clown.
II
THE thing I fear is that DR..
Il Polling and his cohorts are a
little out of practice with satire
and laughing. Having lain so long
in state Of coma, their sense of
humor must be somewhat atrophied
by this time. 1t will take a great
deal Of hard exercise to restore it
to its natural vigor.
Another point overlooked by DR..
Polling is even more important. The
man who can not laugh at himself
is incapable Of producing laughter
in others. The first attribute Of
the satirist is self -ridicule.
Therefore. the person who weuld

T am tremendously encouraged
i with the prohibitionists. When
humor invades their ranks, we may
expect to find intelligence there also.
And DR.. Daniel Polling, one of the
eminent dry leaders, has issued an
official statement to the effect that
the liquor traffic will be ridiculed
out of existence. From now on"
says he. I'VE are going TO use satire
and laughs, not tracts"
Good. That at least will be a
pleasant change. Unwittingly, per-
haps, DR.. Polling is STOPPING for the
weapon of his adversary. For ridi-
cule was the thing that laid low the
dry forces. The main thing wrong
with the prohibitionists was that
their sense of humor never did
match their zeal. Had 1t done so,
a different story might have been
written about the eighteenth
amendment today.

When Did It Begin?

MIR. HOWARD feels that ideal
1V1 ism has failed throughout the
world. 1t seems to me that it hasn't
even been tried. So many speeches
have been made by so many Ameri-
can Presidents about our love and
good will for all mankind that many
of us are almost ready to accept
these phrases as representing spe-
cif1c actions.
But, in cold truth, we have done
nothing. interest has actuated
us. None Of our arguments in the
London economic conference has
moved an inch beyond a recital of
our own needs. Except the pre-
ambles to the speeches.
And this is true of France and
England and Italy. Perhaps I will
be picked up at this point by Mr..
Howard or some of his well-wishers
and friends. who may argue that,
since We live in a world Of greed and
selfshness and national interest,
we must lay our plans accordingly.
But if we are to reach or even
approach the new era of disarma-
ment, some nation must make
start. Why not America?

This is the first article in a series on
hrSt aid.
NTHEN illness or accidents occur,
w it is well for some one in the
home to know what can be done i'm
mediately. Such knowledge will
avoid confusion, alarm, and distress
that inevitably occur when no one
knows just what to do in an emer-
gency.
Prompt and proper action may
save life or prevent injuries from
becoming more serious.
There are available innumerable
books on first aid, including the
books used by the Boy Scouts and
Girl Scouts organizations, and many
small pamphlets sold privately or
distributed by manufacturers of
frst-aid supplies.
Several of the large insurance
companies also have books which
they send on request.
The emergencies that may occur
are numerous. No one can be pre-
pared for all these any more than
any family is fully prepared for
twins or triplets.
There are, however, certain sup
plies that may be kept in every

Sending Of Little Notes

T QUITE agree with my en-
Il ployer that it is not only use
less but dangerous for us to keep
sending little notes about Manchou-
kuo. 1t would be wise to extend
recognition to this strangely IA
thered province, no matter what
doubts We may have as to its le-
gitimacy. And, of course, Mr.. How
ard is entirely correct in urging
Russian recognition as a part of this
move.
There can be no argument that
Japan very openly has gone out and
cut herself a slice of China. But
none of the powers has a right to
throw up its hands in holy horror.
1t is true that the United States
took no territory and that we re-
turned the Boxer indemnity. Never
theless, there has been nothing
idealistic about our open door" poi
icy.
1t represented nothing more than
our mature judgment as to the best
business arrangement we could
make. There was no possible mo-
tive for us to seize territory as long
as we profitably could exploit the
entire empire.
When it has been to our advan-
tage to grab, we have grabbed and
invented some holy reason for doing
so. The country which took Pan
anna" should not be too pious about
the creation Of Manchoukuo.

4 WreQth of Rifles

1T is quite true that reason and
Il logic have not availed to prevent
wars But it still is the best way
to bet. Surely nobody can contend
that unreason and illogicality have
been potent in preventing conflict.
Mr.. Howard says in effect that there
is no reason on earth why Japan
and America should fight, and he
adds that, therefore, it would be an
excellent idea for us to build our
navy up to full treaty quota or be-
yond.
In other words, "Since every con-
sideration should cement our friend
ship, you won't mind if I slip a gun
into my dinner. jacket before we go
in for supper"
But in one respect I am ready to
grant that Mr.. Towards plea for a
bigger American navy is wholly
logical. 1t is harsh logic, based
upon what seems to me a tragic
government philosophy. Like all the
rest of the world, we have gone rip
snorting off into an intense nation
aliSn.
No country can be highly ma
tionalistic and profoundly pacifstic
at the same time. Nationalism is a
chip worn belligerently upon the
shoulder. No people can with any
sanity say to the rest of the world,
ITO hell with you and add in the
next breath, Cant we be friends?"
IF todays situation teaches any,
thing" ventures Mr.. Howard, ut is
that, much as it is to be regretted,
in the Far East at least, might still
makes right
If 1 had been endowed with the
privilege of reading copy on Mr..
Towards news editorial I would
have blue-penciled the phrase lin
the Far East at least" wonder if
MI. Howard knows any quarter of
the world where a different rule
prevails.

Snakes Get Highly Spe

Special attention is devoted to the shedding
of the snakes skins.
When in good health, snake will rub and
squirm until the skin around its head is loos-
ened. Then it works the skin over its head,
and crawls out of the covering, which, wheIl
finally discarded is inside out. If the old sktI1
simply peels off, or if the shedding is lons3
delayed, the keepers have almost conclusive
notice that all is not we'll

Pneumonia and battling mouth diseases
cause the large proportion Of deaths among|

pneumonia may be quite effectively forestaledI
through use of heating facilities such as those

Geological Park. But the mouth trouble offers

Chicory Root Needed

CHICORY root, grown in this country as
~ substitute for coffee, may prove to have
a far greater value in the future and a value
which will dwarf its present limited use for
beverage purposes. Inulin, thought to be the
most suitable carbohydrate for those suffering
with diabetes. is the principal constituent of
chicory root, and through method devised
by the Department of Agriculture the tnulin
can be extracted at low cost. This future use
Of chicory root may become decidedly an i'm
portant factor in the treatment Of this dreaded
