it may be taken for granted that

If any one engaged in spray
painting or removal Of various
paints Or varnishes develops such
symptoms, the paint or material
used should be investigated at
once as to its benzene content.
1t is, Of course, Of first impor-
lance for the person concerned to
be removed as soon as possible
from the situation in which he is
exposed to the benZene.

CAN THIS BE SHAW?

One Of the amazing things the present Far East
e1n crisis has done is to bring from Bernard Shaw
the admission that possibly he has been talking
too much.
Touring the Far East, Mr.. Shaw was called on
to say few words to Chinese students in Hong
kong. He did so, advising the students to study
revolutionary thought"-and gave the authorities
there cold shvers.
When he reached Shanghai, the police arrested
100 students who planned to meet him, and it began
to appear to Mr. Shaw that his remarks perhaps had
not been chosen judiciously. So he said
THE present situation is far from joke I do
not desire to embarrass any party believe my
best course henceforth is to shut up"
A remark of that kind from Bernard Shaw the
irepressbe is about the last thing any of us ever
expected to hear

Has It's Surprises

DUT history is less than an ex-
ID act science, or, rather, it be-
comes precise only when every
one of the innumerable factors
which enter into its fabric has
been considered. And the hui
man mind is not quite subtle
enough to do that.
AS things stand, the lessons of
history are in many instances am
biguous. And for that matter,
history is not made wholly by the
winds and the tides and the con-
WILSON'S under the earth.
It is not even largely nodded by
little men on large white horses.
You and 1 are the history makers.
Naturally, I am including in that
you" the many millions.
Most curious of all is the fact
that many predict with great GER
tainty the very things which they
must deplore. I mean, you will
find radicals saying with great
confidence, "Of course, we are go
ingt to get Fascism before we
reach our cooperative state"
Part Of the explanation for Hit
ler's accession to power lies in
this calm acceptance of his in
evitability by people who didn't
in the least want him.
That seems to me a very silly
state of mind. There is no point
in being overoptimistic and trying
to prevent certain social and eco
nonlic catastrophes by calmly an
nouncing that they can not pos
sibly happen.
I think the future lies ahead Of
us like new sheet Of paper in a
typewriter, and that there will be
set down there precisely what res
olution or inertia dictates.
1t is easy enough to point out
that man in the main seldom has
lived up to his place in the uni
verse as a rational and reasoning
creature. He has been guilty of
a thousand follies. He has done
those things which he ought not
to have done and left undone
those things which he ought to
have done.
But there is some health in him.
Upon occasion he has stood on his
hind legs and behaved with superb
courage and great wisdom. He
may do the same thing again.
1t is just as possible to reason

Benzene Poisoning May Be Fatal

DENZENE, also called benzol,
ID has many uses in trade and
commerce. It is used as a motor
fuel; is used as a solvent in the
manufacture Of rubber goods Of
one type or another; it is also
sometimes used in manufacture Of
spray paints, floor cleansers, floor
wakes, varnish removerS, and in
deed as a solvent for all sorts Of
materials.
Benzene is a clear fluid known
as a coal tar product.
Ordinarily, the vapors are
heavier than air, which is impor-
tant in relationship to poisoning.
as is also the fact that the heat
ing Of benzene will cause it to be-
come lighter, to rise, and to spread
throughout the air.
A person who has been poisoned
by benzene acts much like a man
who has become intoxicated by
too much alcohol: either he viii
become unconscious or appear to
be dazed.
He will stagger when walking or,

fear Of what might happen and the knowledge that
nothing was being done about it.
Now that is changed. To that extent at least
the new deal is here functioning
President Roosevelt does not expect the bankers
who got into the mess to get us out. He pro-
poses that the government do that job-almost any

The people know that there is more safety with
a Roosevelt at the helm than with the discredited
bankers. That is why there is hope in the
country today than at any time in recent months,
despite the bank holiday.

Tdlking AWay Fears

T AM well aware that wars have
4 crept up on communities in the
face of the fact that all the citi-
zens had said repeatedly, 1--WE
won't have any more wars"
All too often they suddenly have
found one in their laps. 1t is
certainly too little for a group or
an individual to say, I'm against
wars" and then settle back as if
that simple declaration had solved
the problem.
Wars will be abolished only
when their roots and causes have
been identified clearly and eXtir-
pated. Even so, I think the man
who does no more than register
dissent is serving humanity
little better than the persons who
are convinced so enormously of
the coming Of the next conflict.
The progression of mankind
from darkness to degree of
civilization has been less orderly
than the building of a staircase.
Every now and then a nation has
managed to skip a phase. 1t isn't
impossible to inspirit mankind so
profoundly that we may go up

Eues That See Not

TN recent weeks and months 7
Il have met a great many peo-
pie who seemed to me hardly
touched in imagination by the
whirl of events. I have found
some who talk very calmly about
the next war, as if it were a nee
essary something to be taken in
stride.
And I have heard a lot about
the inevitable. But it seems to
me that no one has a right to say
OF any future contingency that it
is inevitable until we have tried
the simple experiment of giving
it a good, sound swat in the Jaw.
And if this supposed invincible
giant begins to totter, then we
can give him another. Only in a
world of puShovers is the worst
thing which is bound to occur.

Insects War on Man

Of the biggest war in the history
Of the world. 1t is the war, now
in progress, which man is waging
against the six-legged creatures,

If man ever let's go-and some
times in the midst Of depressiogs

over without loss of time.

1T is odd how we love some

a quiet, thoughtful, brooding word,

comes from two words-con,
meaning to think over and over,
to learn by heart, TO steer like a
pilot; and Sidera, which means
the stars.
To consider a thing, then
means to take it out of doors and
think it over and over under the
wide and starry sky.
We get too close to things, or
they get too close to us. They
suffocate us. Our thinking is hot,
hasty, stuffy and we lose a sense
of proportion. Little things be-
come big and big things little.
But if we take our problem out
of doors and get the perspective
of the stars, we see its true size.

cool night of stars nature will say
