SY BRUCE CATION

THERE is an acute and thought
n full evaluation of the forces
that shape American character in
Frank Ernest Hills What is Amer
ican?"
Until comparatively recently, Mr..
Hill remarks, the first word that
would come to mind in response to
response to that question was the
word democracy"
But things have changed a bit,
now, and democracy" no longer is
the word that explains everything
and characterizes everything. What
is?
To begin with, Mr.. Hill thinks
that no one has put enough en-
phasis on the influence on human
beings Of the American land itself.
It's mountains, its tremendous dis
tanceS, its vast prairies, its great
forests. its mighty rivers. its des-
erts-theSe, he says, are like moth
ing else on earth. America, physi-
cally, is not just q larger edition
of Europe or a smaller edition of
Asia. It is unique and it is Shap-
ing unique race.
Then there is the frontier-van-
ished forever, now, but still a po-
tent force.
1t, too. is factor which no other
group of people has had to face,
and no one can understand Amer
lea without understanding it.
Other forces, similarly unique,
have been at work; vast waves Of
immigration, mingling innumerable
blood strains, traditions and Gus
toms; the presence in the land of
the Indian and the Negro, more
potent modifying agents than we
suppose; the Puritan tradition,
still strongly at work; lastly. the
machine. perfected here as no
where else, still too close to be
measured accurately, but most pro-
fOundly important.
The result? A race almost as I'M
like the European as the Chinese,
moving on to an unpredictable and
momentous destiny.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-03-14
TIVE words died away in a fires

THE words died away in a fresh
Il outburst Of sobs. Janet knew
that if she took the child to the
nearest policeman, her responsible
ity would be at an end and that the
little girl would reach home. Some
thing prompted her to say instead:
There's a restaurant over there
in the next block. Suppose you and
I go there and get something to eat.
You can tell me all about what
happened while we are getting
warm. Would you like to do that?"
The sobs ceased. you mean
it'll be all right?"
Janet laughed. "Of course" she
said. Perfectly all right. Here,
take my hand so you won't fall"
Over the tile-top 'estaurant table
Janet Hill looked at her new &C
quaintance. Rose, the little girl said
her name was. Rose Silvani. No,
she didn't go to school.
She was years old. She had a
brother who didn't go to school,
t4bllN4s I1C W 40 IllkJDlEQ.
No, her father and mother would
not be worried about her because
they weren't at home. Her father
always was looking for work. Her
mother went every afternoon to a
place where she scrubbed floors.
Rose told all this slowly between
gulping attacks on the plate Of hot
food before her.
The reason she had been selling
candy, she explained, was because
her father didn't have any money
and the rent was overdue. Rose
forgot about the roast beef and
gravy on her plate as she told this.
Two great tears slid down the
grimy little cheek. If the rent
wasn't paid, the Silvanis would be
put out" and everything they
owned set on the street. That had
happened to the MorTiseys month
ago,
Janet listened steadily. She tried
to reaSsure Rose, who was such a
little thing, such BABY Janet
scarcely could believe a child's face
could be so entirely devoid of signs
of ChildishneSS.
They arose at last. Janet paid
the checks and they went out to
the street.
I'm going to go home with you"
Janet announced, and they started
walking toward the car line.
The sleet had stopped but the
wind was colder. Ahead man was
coming toward them. Janet scarcely
noticed him until he was almost
beside them. The man stopped sud-
denly, caught Janet's arm.
Lets have that handbagI" he
mumbled gruffly.
She saw the short black cylinder
Of a gun barrel and at the same
moment heard Roses scream.

A FTERWARD Janet insisted she
L n wasn't frightened. 1t happened
too quickly for that.
She wasn't sure whether she saw
the gun or heard Roses scream first
The man growled, Make it snap

Then in the next instant some
thing hurled itself between Janet
and the man.

Not all the artists are yielding
to the income lure, however, so
the rumors go.
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne,
celebrated stage married pair,
are said to have Just rejected a
radio offer that would make Ed
Wynn's and Eddie Cantor'S in
come appear moderate. They
may accept the offer later, if it
is still open, but in the meantime
they plan to go to England.
Franz Lehar, composer of THE
Merry Widow" is said to have
been offered as high as $4,000 a
program if he would write and
conduct an original feature in this
country. He prefers Vienna.
Louis Joseph Vance, famous
author, is reported to have asked

writing an addition script-but, it

Deity she touched a bit of perfume
to Sheilas hair, the palms of her
hands.
She smoothed back curl and
Strengthened an earring. Then she
stepped back, regarding her work
with satisfaction.
But in spite of this fattering re-
assurance Sheila felt rather self
conscious a few minutes later as She
went down the broad stairway.
Dick was waiting for her at the
foot of the stairs. The unconcealed
admiration in his eyes brought swift
color to her cheeks.

he told her. but let's not join them

to talk to you about first"
Sheila followed him across the
wide hall away from the gay
laughter issuing from the farther
room.
The clock in the hallway told
them that fully fifteen minutes
would elapse before dinner would
be served.
Dick led the way into a sort Of
sun room. The room was in hall
twilight and a soft breeze reached
them through the wide open Win
dows. Sheila sat down on a diyan
and Dick sank beside her.
You didn't answer me this after
noon" he told her. He was not
smiling. Saeila never had seen
Dick look so earnest. His hand
slipped over hers.
you didn't answer he went
or. but you're going to marry
me. Oh, Sheila, you must! I've
waited a long while. I can't stand
it any longer. I love you more

i Dicks head was bent and the
girl placed her free hand on his
hair.
Il didn't know it meant so much

didn't know you loved me like that"
But I've told you'll What can I
do, Sheila? I'll do anything in the

I've tried to forget about you by
working, but you came between me
and the paper.
I'd see your face whenever I tried

He raised his eyes to hers. Burn
ing eyes that held the girls. Sheila's
heart was beating swiftly. Dick
loved her as she had loved Jerry.
Why had she not understood that?
Burberry did not seem to count
now Could it be that she no longer
loved Jerry? Had she been mis-
taken all along?
Dick was unhappy, just as she had
been. Both of them had known suf-
fering. Dick had been trying to for
get her at the same time she had
been trying to forget Jerry. To-
gether perhaps they could find hap
piness.
Dick" she said softly, "Ill marry
you"
"Oh, Sheilaw
Il can't promise" she went on,
that love you the way you love
me. I'm not quite sure. But Ill
marry you and try to make you
happy. You've been the best friend
I've ever had and 1 do care for you.
I've made some mistakes, I guess.
Probably we both have. I'll try to
make up to you, Dick, for the way
I've hurt you. And think-maybe
I've loved you all along without
realizing it"
His arms swept around her.
Sheila raised her lips to Dicks kiss.

OLD AND NEW IN
FIGHT ON LOCUSTS

The ancient and the modern con-
tinue to flourish side by side in East
Africa, but perhaps no more striking
example of that platitudinous obser-
walton was ever given than two In
cidents in Kenya recently.
A few days ago the manager of a
large sugar estate near Nairobi
rushed into town late In the after
noon and informed the directors that
a vast swarm of locusts had settled
In the sugar cane.
Thousands Of pounds were al
stake.
Two directors made quick, des-
perate decision. Realizing the only
hope was to disturb the swarm they
hired a three-engined airplane and
hurried I'm it to the estate.
The machine passed low over the
cane, but there was not single sign
of locusts. Turning they flew few
feet from the ground with all three
engines roaring.
Suddenly the locusts rose in a
dense cloud. The machine shot into
the sky and Unanswered over the
swarm, which slowly moved to a
swamp a few miles away-and the
cane was saved.
But listen! A farmer in the Hoeys
Bridge district, Kenya, who by des-
perate efforts had managed to save
his maize during the past weeks,
while all the crops around him had
been cleaned up, was in despair
when he saw a large swarm ap-
preaching.
Having done everything he could
he finally remembered that one of
his native employees was suspected
of being witchdoctor.
He invoked this mans help. The
wizard, an elderly native clad in
skins, and wearing the usual charms
associated with the craft, pulled a
maize stalk from the center Of the
healthiest part of the crop and slow
ly walked round and through the
maize, using the stalk as wand and
muttering.
The swarm descended and the
farmer cursed the witchdoctor, but
the latter said "Wait and see."
The fact is that the swarm de-
stroyed small patch of inferior
maize but left the large area of
healthy crop untouched.
The government, of course, does
not adopt either method. Its ex-
perts put poisoned bran bait on the
ground, knowing that the greedy
millions Of young insects will feed
on it.-Montreal Family Herald.
