It may be quite true that our diplomatic representatives in Cuba have not been very successful lately in estimating the setrength of the various revolutionary factions there. But it does seem that our State Department as a unit deserves few bouquets for the patience with which it has handled very difficult situation. We have come to realize that American intervention in Cuba is thing to be avoided as long as is humanly possible. It is to be avoided, if for no other reason. because it would hamper American interests in Latin America as whole And the State Department has done pretty good job of holding off.

Self preservation burns us strong q flame in his tiny carcass as in the monster humans. Blood is his diet and blood he will have. A full drop suffices to bulge him out of shape. but even that drop Is begrudgod him. The itch. ing annoyance that follows his feasting is not intentional. He does not deliberately plot to Do q nuis- ance. It Is 6 by-product of his meal. No victim appreciates the honor; but the mosquito must ig- nore this lack. Tn this he apes his bettcrs, the thin skinned, forked and hairless apes that pa- rade in the name of man. Meat is their diet and meat they will have. No steer appreciates the honor; but men ignore this lack. And what does the mosquito re- ceive in exchange for the flattery of imitation? Threats of exter- imitation.
 Consider the lowiy mosquito, how success makes for failure, vic- tory for defeat. So capable has he proved himself this present hunting season in pursuit of his diet that the United Staets army has accorded him official recogni- ton as an enemy. Once q mere frivolous nuisance, he now com mands respect. Scientists have long labeled him "anapheles' with varied other Latin tags to desig- nate species.

A New Tale Of The
 Sea By P. c. Wren

Mr P. c. Wren, whose. "Beau Geste" tipped off the world at large to the romantic possibilities of the foreign legion, has given up the army and gone nautical.
 His newest novel, "Action and Passion" hasn't soldier in 1t, and Africa figures only as smudge on the horizon. It's q sea story, and if posterity fails to rank 1t with Melville, Dana. and Conrad, the yarn nevertheless will enjoy 6ut- ter of contemporary popularity.
 This time we get q young Eng lishman shipping out as "brass bounder," or apprentice boy, on an English square-rigger. The ship sails to Australia, with the shippers wife and daughter go. ing along just for the ride, and then starts back again. And im- mcdiately the dirty work begins,
 First there's peculiar series of murders. Then we have q reg. ular 18th-ccntury.sty1e mutiny Eventually our young apprentice, who is q handy man with his dukes, quells the mutlny and brings the ship back to England safe and sound, and everything turns out swell for everybody ex- cept the mutineers.
 A reading of this book leads ono to mediate on the qualities of Mir Wren's heroes. Before they are anything else. they arc English gentlemen -- heroic. clean, athletic. kind to the lower classes, chivalrous and noble. They are also. If you ask me. uncomfortable snobs and fearful prigs, and t would do mo a world of good to see vice triumph, just once, in Mir Wren's pages. But 1t never will.

(By Louis villano in The New York Times) When thou hast rung the world to doleful

 On his way homo. Humphrey passed a park with a popcorn stand in front. The popcorn looked stale, He decided he and his wife could make better popcorn than that. They did. They started with little stands. They bought big rowdy amuse- ment park which was failing and turned 1t into place where families could come with comfort They sold more popcorn. They rented bathing suits and built roller coasters and dance hall so carefully watched that 1t was always safe for young girls They built great rink and installed ice artificially frozen when most people believed it could not be done.
 Wholesome, cheap amusements tor the family and good popcorn built the fortune. Humphrey was a public minded chap, too. Took great interest in the affairs of his city. penniless at 40, with fortune at 60, he died at Sl respected by all, And - last touch - he bought back the old homestead and often flew back and forth from his town house to the farm of his early days.

DANGEROUS CAPTIVE BEARS
tNew York Herald.Tribune)

(NeW YOrk Herald-Tribune)
 The fatal attack on boy by q "pet' black bear breaking loose at Brookhaven. L. l.. is q shocking object lesson. Clearly. no owner should be permitted to take chance es in the confinement of an animal so powerful. Protection us secure as that of zoo can properly Dc demanded for public safety. The special circumstances of alleged neglect in the Brookhaven trag- edy, are matters for the grand jury; but tho accident, rare as 1t is, has had forerunners. A year ago a hye-year-old child was claw ed to death near Rochester, N. Y.. by captive roadside bear. There have bccn more than few sim- liar cases of minor injury passing without much comment. On Oc- tober 1, 1932, a forewarning cor- respondent whote from Bablyon. L. l., to the Herald Tribune: "ft Is Q wicked negligence that per- mits these animals to be unsafcly exhibited, thereby risking perma- nent maiining-or even death--to the innocent cbildren that view them"
 It is remarkable that the black bear in the wild has the reputation of being not at all aggressive, but amiable and harmless. The free- roaming bears in Yellowstone Park playful, friendly and entertaining. are the. delight of tourists. Possib- ly the discomforts and harrass- ments of close captivity work a change in the animals nature. The swipe of a great paw, even If 1t should be playful. can easily kill q child. Stout cages or the strongest chains are mapifcstly requirements to be forced upon those who keep bears as pets or for exhibition in settled regions. or else the animals should be kept in the zoo and mo- where else.

 The Little Green House with the stone walls of greenish tinge that gave 1t its name, just hap pens to be 0 real estate office to- day and the Blue Eagle in its front window seems to bear . double symbolism there, marking the passage of whole nation from whoopee to wholesomeness Ickes Personifies Change

 Ickes is growing in stature every day. The newspaper con- ferences in his huge, brown-pan- elcd office, its door guarded by two Alaskan totem poles. draw q more critical, more inquisitional crowd of newsmen than almost any other.
 That is because Ickes' job as head of the public works admin istration is the most delicately critical ono in Washington at tho moment.
 And one of tho reasons this vital program has tended to move slowly is because 1ckcs is so in- tent that the $3,300, 900, 0,000 pub. lie works fund be spent honestly. Here Is Real Honesty
 Here's an untold story that il- lustrates the rigid honesty of the Ickes mind. The secretary has q son, Wilmarth, who works for q firm that would be a logical bidder on many of the big public works projects.
 But ickes won't even let his sons firm bid on the work, lot alone get tho contracts.
 Further, 1t is known that Ickes wants in tho worst way to have his son at his side in the work he's doing in the public works program. It would comfort and sustain him greatly to have his son working shoulder to shoulder with him to-day.
 But he won't do 1t, simply bo- cause he's in principle against passing out jobs to his own fam fly. That's the man who to-day sits in the chair of Albert 5. Fall.

Climate and Bronchitis
Is Brooklyn, N. Y. an unhealthy
place to live for one with chronic
bronchitis, person so years Of age?
Is. NJ
Answer-No. If one climate is more
healthful than another for such an
invalid it is so because the invalid
passes more time out OF doors. If
the invalid is obsessed by fear of
cold and dampness he is out of luck
wherever he lives. That obsession
seems to attain the height of absurd
ity in climates or places where there
is the most equable temperature and
the lowest humidity. Anyway. neither
cold nor dampness has a thing to do
with bronchitis.

During that casual luncheon, a
psychological incident, typical Of

fled, to small degree, the hunger
for the gargantuan and spectacular
and now wanted to pass it on to the
