STUDENT PACIFISTS

british patriots got shock not long ago
- when student organizations at Oxford
and Manchester universities voted not to bear
arms for king and country if the empire
should go to war again. More recently the
young men at Glasgow university followed
suit, by a vote of 634 to 568.
Here, surely, is surprising gesture on the
part Of Britains young manhood But one
wonders just how effective it might be if war
should come to the empire.
Would the first blast of the bugle cause
these ardent young pacifists to forget their
votes and rally round the flag in the old
fashioned way?
The stir of patriotic excitement is a power
full force, and it has swept paciists off their
moorings before this. Is it being too cynical
to predict that all but very few of these
university men would be found, after all, in
the recruiting booths if the emergency
should come?

A LITTLE THING
TITS little thing to do. I didn't realize

TITS little thing to do I didn't realize
SO much fuss would be made over it."
Thus spoke James STROBE, unemployed
carpenter as he was wheeled into the oper-
ating room last week to present 1O-year- old
Kathleen Carroll with three square inches
Of his skin.

Pick out spot on your body where you think
you can spare it and measure off three square
inches. You could almost get your fist into
the hole it would leave behind

it possible for her to romp through the years
and reach womanhood, normal and undis-

babies of her own, she will realize what James

little thing-that this unemployed car
penter turned down his first chance for
job in eight months and hurried to the city
hospital to help a small person whom he
never had seen, simply because his blood had
a peculiar quality which would blend with
hers.
That blood of his has one characteristic
beyond Cne measurement OF microscopes. 1t
has the sort of stuff in it that flowed in the
veins of the men at Marathon, at Waterloo,
in the Argonne. Unselfish heroism never preens
ITSELF never makes Wanting boasts That is
why James Strobe really thought he was doing
"a little thing"
indianapolis should be proud of this man
But it should be ashamed that in all this city
there is no job to save him and his wife from
hardship. The community and the nation need
men like James Strobe in these troubled times.

WHERE TO GET FACTS

COLONEL CHARLES w DECKER. in
- charge Of co-ordinating medical services
for the earthquake-stricken area in southern
California, discovered when he went to work
that one of his biggest jobs was to quiet a
current Of fear created by panicky and ILL
informed radio broadcasts.
He has expressed great Indignation over
the dissemination of ugly, unfounded rumors
spread by quavering radio announcers, start
ing after the first earthquake shock Friday
night in the broadcast of terrorizing messages
of tidal waves, vast death lists, famine, pesti-
lence and horrors that could be conjured only
in terror-stricken and uniformed mind"
Southern California had bad time of it
in the quake to be sure; but things weren't
nearly as bad as the radio reports indicated.
And the moral, once again, seems to be
when you want to know what has happened,
read your newspaper.
You'll save yourself the trouble of clutter
ing up your mind with a lot Of false news"
that originates in some announcers skull.

JUST A SMALL TOWN MAN

VXTHEN Louis T. Stone, the newspaper
w writer whose freakish Munchausen- like
little nature stories" made Winsted Conn,
famous all over the country, died recently, it
was revealed that here had been one man to
whom the fame and fortune offered by the
big city were no attraction whatever.
Stone, it seems had been offered jobs fire.
quently on metropolitan papers. But he had
always refused, preferring to stick in Win
sted, and remarking I'm just a small town
man-Id get lost down there"
In that remark there is a good deal of
sound sense-sense of a kind which a good
many of us never quite had the wit to APP
preciate.
For general ms it has been the tradition
in this country that the really able man is
going to gravitate, sooner or later to the city.
The city can pay him more money it can
give him wider field to work in, it can flatter
his ego and fatten his bank balance at the
same time.
And so, year after year, ambitious young
men have been drained out of the small town
and dumped into the vast hopper of the me-
tropolis-often enough, to their own bewilder-
ment and establishment.
But this man wasn't fooled. He said, I'm
Just a small town man; and in that saying
there was not so much modesty as a realiza-
ton that life in a small town can be more
satisfying and wholesome-can, in short be
more fun-than life in big city, for the
man who is geared to it.
For the small town man escapes lot of
grief He escapes crowds, he escapes the de-
pressing sight of those miles of identical
apartment houses and uncertainties" which
constitute the waste lands Of our great cities;
he has the open country at his elbow his life
is set at more leisurely pace, his nerves are
not put under a constant strain, he has more
chance for friendship, for recreation, for plain
loafing if he likes
All of us know this, when we stop to think
about it. But most of the time we don't stop
to think We chase success down city streets
going after it so fast that we seldom have time
to wonder why life no longer has the kick
it used to have.
How much better off some of us would be
If We too. had had the sense to say-"I'n just
small town man"

As q Last Resort

IN almost every instance Corpora
Il ton has been a last straw and it
has broken more camels' backs than
it has saved drowning men. When
a show begins to pluck at the coun-
terpane somebody is pretty sure to
pop up and say, Let's go co-opera-
tive"
With very few exceptions the CO.
operative principle in the theater
has been no more than a last and
futile resort to oxygen. Several of
the entertainments which quit with
in the last few days blamed their
fate upon the stagehands.
But in almost every case that was
an alibi rather than an accurate re-
port.
Upon occasion certain managers
have posed magnificently by making
the superb gesture of saying, L will
turn the show over 20 the cast" 1t
is the generosity Of the departing
householder who says, you can
have my pet alligator"
The actor does not love the stage
hand very much. He is ready with
"a hundred stories about the man
who had nothing to do. but move a
table across the stage and play
pinochle for the rest Of the evening.
But 1 fancy that anybody who was
compelled by his job to stand in the
wings for 200 nights probably would
come away with less than a passion
ate regard for the performers.

CITIZENS COUNCILS

IF government economy we're not two
headed problem, it would not be so hard
to deal with. But as soon as one faces the
need for drastic saving the other half Of
the problem presents itself-the urging need
for preserving essential community services, no
mater how hard it is to get tax money
Fifty-twt national organizations have
recognized that the two halves of the question
must be dealt with at the same time, and have
announced plans for organization of citizens
councils in every town and county in the
country.
This in itself is a long step forward and the
plan offers endless possibilities for govern
mental good.
Citizens council will begin by studying the
efficiency of the governments which serve them
and deciding what deadwood must be trimmed
away and what services even may need
Strengthening in times like these.
Police protection for instance, is more needed
than ever before, Libraries have greater calls
upon them sanitation is an increasingly acute
problem in many localities. Relief activities,
of course are expanded far beyond normal
But at the same time police rolls may be
padded with hangerson. Sanitation costs
may be higher than they would be if two small
governmental units joined forces and reduced
overhead Substitution Of the merit system for
the spoils system might increase the efficiency
of a local government strikingly and at the
same time reduce it's pay roll. The elementary
reform of budgeting might save many lost
dollar
1t is altogether possible that the present
need of supporting education, public protec-
ton, health and recreation from money that
can be had only by economizing will result
few years hence in a far better governmental
structure than we have today.
County and city government take much
the biggest share of the tax dollar-more than
they need to take.
Reform under the bitter lash of necessity
may bring about planned consolidated and
efficiently directed government, without de-
priving those who pay of anything they now
enjoy.
If the citizens councils work toward this
end, they will more than justify their exist
ence.

HOr0tiNs at the BridQe

TINE union has been and still is
4 strong one, and its strength
lies in its reluctance to compromise.
After all, a comparatively high wage
level was obtained only by dint of
persistence and effort. The Ques-
ton at issue is not the prolonging
Of the life of some individual show,
but the scrapping of an arrange
ment which it took years to win.
say "a comparatively high wage
level, " because even in the best Of
times few members of the union got
anything like fifty-two solid weeks
in any year. The present day rep
resents salary plus unemployment
insurance. If the pay were COM
puted on the earnings of the aver
age member for the entire year, it
would be no more than a trifle
week.
The actor ought to understand
the psychology of his associates in
the theater a little better than he
does. After all, many a player has
followed a strikingly similar policy.
Broadway is quite familiar with the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES actor who
would rather starve on the curb just
outside the Lambs Club than work
for anything less.
He, too, feels that it would be
better to suffer much than to allow
a standard which took years of
building to be swept away over
night.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

THERE is a saying among members Of the
L American Legion that the organization
always takes its detectives. In recent years
considerable portion of the citizenry has
questioned some of these detectives.
The legion, founded with the nobIest of mo-
tives, came under severe criticism as the cost
Of pensions to persons uninjured in the serv-
ice mounted along with the national deficit.
Today the men of the legion have struck
their tents and are on the march again for
this republic. Louis A. Johnson, the national
commander, has sounded the call to support
the economy program of the President
There is no question of legion loyalty" he
said, The patriotism Of every member has
been proved In this hour of emergency we
are but eager to serve the Stars and Stripes
again under whatever orders our new COM
mander- in-chief may give"
There spoke a man! And the legion
eagerly has followed him. Resolutions indors-
ing the President have poured in from all over
the nation. Legionnaires once more are
where they belong, out in the van, setting
glowing example Of self-sacriflce and unself-
ishness to those who would shirk in the pres
ent drive against depression.
1t is going to be a long campaign. There
will be hardship and suffering before the last
gun emplacen1ent is taken and the last trench
mopped up.
The nation needs the legion as never before.
And the legion already have moved to the
attack behind its standard, inscribed with the
words, For God and Country"

Sometimes the retina itself is
loosened SO that the condition called
detachment of the retina occurs.
AS soon as any part Of the retina
becomes detached from its bed, the
vision controlled by that part is
disturbed, and unless it is reat-
tached in short time the vision is
lost permanently.
The person who has had detach-
ment of the retina should go to bed
Immediately. Sometimes competent
control of fluid intake helps the sit
uation.
In other instances operations have
been developed which appear to be
useful in aiding reattachment of
the retina.

That sums up the situation nicely, whether

sion, but has prevented recovery.
In spite of all the liberal, broad-minded
phrases the prevailing attitude has been mega

Eye Tissues Subject to Infection

THE tissues of the eye behind

tons and infammations. There
are the delicate membranes of
blood vessels and pigments, the
rigid outer coating, and the retina

Normally rays of light pass through
the vitreous without any hindrance,
but occasionally there are small

SETTLE THE THEATER DISPUTE


MAJORITY of the citys theaters will close
Iva their doors Thursday night unless peace
is reached with union employees before that
time.
Without going into the merits of the con-
troversy, on which only the theater owners
and the organized crafts involved can speak
authoritatively, it is to be hoped that suspen-
sion will be avoided.
Closing of the theaters will mean loss to
the owners and to employees at a time when
neither faction is in the best of shape to incur
this loss. And it will work a hardship on the
public when, owing to economic conditions,
amusement is especially important in keeping
up the morale of the people.
If the show houses do close, and remain
closed for any extended time, it will mean that
their patrons will be forced to look to other
fields for their entertainment. 1t will mean
that they will find other diversions for their
spare time which may result in the loss of
business for the theaters in the future, and,
naturally less work and less money for the or
gained employees.
For the good of the heater~going public,
the theater operators, and playhouse employees,
a settlement should be arranged with the least
possible delay.
