God of Indians

Only a little while ago
the curator Of the National
Museum in Washington
noted the strange fact that
the little figures Of gods
carved by the San Bias In
dians, of Panama, were all
portraits of the same per-
son. Every one of these
little carved ! figures had a
long nose and wore a tall
hat, a green coat and
striped trousers.
The curator of the mu-
scum made a study of this
curious fact and reached
the conclusion that the In
dians had chosen as their
god none other than Will
liam Paterson, the Scot who
had founded the Bank OF
England. He spent years
there and his family had
died near Darien.
Strange, is it not, that
this grumpy Scot left such
an impress in the jungle
So much so that they made
him god and bowed down
before his tall hat, his long
nose, his green coat with
it's brass buttons and his
striped trousers

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

NO, THEY WEREN'T; AND
NEITHER WE'RE WE.
We may have kidded our
selves into thinking they were.
We may be truly sincere when
we tell the youngsters that
they were. But the slightest
study of the actual Laws and
Records of those days will re-
veal that we're wrong.
Then why does Yesterday get
such a big vote from us all:
and why is Today always in
the dog house?
The True Answer
The answer is simple, but
hard to take.
WE LOVE YESTERDAY Be
CAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF
TODAY.
Yesterday wasn't really bet
ter. But it was easier and
safer. And we long. with all
our timid. lazy. stupid souls,
to flee back to that simple life
VII u was so easy to under
sta .d-to those carefree days
when we could loaf along, free
from the cruel competition of
these CongeSted days.
Yes, Yesterday was certainly
kind on the feet and head. We
didn't have to do much to
make a record, and we could
take our time about doing it.
But Today makes us snap into
it. It won't let us dawdle or
dream. 1t demands action,
plenty and pronto! Naturally
we love Yesterday better than
Today.
And another reason why we
love it better is because we
were younger. That glamour
which we so wistfully remem-
ber wasn't actually the radi-
ance Of a superior civilization
or sweller humans. 1t was the
radiance of our own Youth.
WE MOURN NOT BETTER
DAYS BUT YOUNGER ONES.
Our First Beaux
They weren't more beautiful
girls, or more wonderful boys
but they were our first ones.
And the food wasn't finer-but
our digestions were.
AS for the morals and man
ners, being perfectly normal
children we didn't really know
or give a hoot about them.
But it helps us put on a good
act to pretend we did. And if
we can put on a good enough
act-if we can criticise Today
bitterly enough and complain
hard enough-then maybe we
won't have to get busy and do
something about this strange
and terrifying Status Quo.
Why do we yelp so to be
shown the Road to YeSter-
day"
That's why.
WE'RE AFRAID OF TODAY.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A
CHANCE TO BEAT TT!

DiSarming the Racketeer
Only One Way to Do 1t

Senator Copeland says that of the first obctves of
the national drive against raceteerng will be stringent
Federal control of the manufacture sale and shipment Of
firearms
If Senator Copeland and his committee get effective
regulatory through the next Congress they will have
dealt the greatest single blow at rackeeering that is posi-
BILE to conceive Of.

him of these and nnetenth of the problem is solved
Let him have revovers awedoff hotguns pneappes and
other gangser paraphernaa and all the Investigations and

Fewer Atheists
More Church Members

The American Association Advancement of Atheism
has just issued its annual report The document pantive
in tone admits frankly that the of atheism took
decided slump last year. and that the membership the
nation churches, both Catholic and Protestant increased
The Association has explanation for this state of affairs
IT says that because people in need Of charity and
charity administered largely through the churches these
individuals Joined the church in order share its bounty
Apparently the atheists don't in for charity themselves
by the reasoning their membership also should have
creased if they did.
However, great the work of the churches has

The true for the increase in church membership
during the depression would to be that

Incredible Things

Field Marshall Lord Milne
is the new constable of the
Tower of London, an office
that goes back to William
the Conqueror. He IS IN
stalled with the rich, color
full ritual that goes back to
the days of the Tudors'
And there are other things
in that gray, grim fortress
by the Thames that go back
to the days Of the Tudors
incredible things.
A yeoman of the guard in
the Tower of London rushes
to the governor with a tale
of strange doings in the
night. His ruddy face two
shades lighter and his plump
hands still trembling, the
Beefeatcr shutters his story.
Near the Bloody Tower and
not far from the Traitors
Gate he had seen with his
own eyes the figure of a
woman in white. He had
no idea where she came
from, but there she was,
like white moonlight.
The Washington times., 1933-06-30

She was beautiful Her face
was very sad. He was sure
he had seen her picture
somewhere. And then all
at once she was gone. While
he stared she was gone. One
moment the slim, graceful,
white figure; the next
moment nothing, nothing at
all. That was the tale the
yeoman Of the guard told
the constable.
Nobody within the mas
sive stone walls Of the great
Tower that William the
Conqueror built more than
eight centuries ago laughs
at that old tale of the
white woman, who shows
herself now and again, at,
long intervals, in the old
fortress prison. Certainly
that distinguished soldier,
Maj. Gen. Sir George Young
husband, didn't laugh at it
when l talked to him in his
beautiful old-world apart
ment in St. Thomas Tower,
above the Traitors Gate on
London River.
The Washington times., 1933-06-30
Woman In White

The yeoman Of the guard
stood rooted to the ground,
his hand gripping his pike
until his knuckles hurt. Far
down London River, at
Westminster, Big Ben tolled
the hour stroke by stroke.
It was just midnighk
The woman in white,
light shining clear through
her, approached the Beef
eater with slow, graceful
step and passed him with
out a sign. She was young.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

Victorian, too brilliant and
peppy or too dull and ponder
ous-if he does not blend with
tempo and arrangement of your
life and you are not pliable
enough to blend with his ways
and habits, your experiments
will end in disillusionment and
failure. Which is tragic, after
forty.
Two young things in the
tWenties can adjust themselves
to each others ways and tenn
peraments, so that they GROW
together, like two punches Of
iris planted in the same rock
garden.
It doesn't matter much, how
little money or income they
have to start with, because
they can get used to eating
round steak and can sleep
soundly on hard studio couches
and lumpy pillows-and just
dream of their golden future.
instead of lying awake and nag
ging each other about their
debts.
But, after two people have
jelled, and each has his or her
career, an impulsive marriage
or an Indian Summer romance
just Smashes the mold of their
lives.
Congenial companionship is
the sweetest and most precious
thing in the world. Every
women longs for it and every
man needs it. But the time to
find it, is in the springtime of
life, at the beginning of your
career. And if you find it in
your Indian Summer, the gods
are making a pet of you!
Obey that impulse marry
the boy! There is no career,
