Good King Wenceslaus"
means more to the people Of
Bohemia o-Slovakia, than
just a carol. To them he stands
as the very image of a good and
prudent king. Under his reign
the whole of Bohemia was con-
verted to Christianity. This
was in the nine hundredS-quite
a while back, and since then his
kingdom has undergone some
revolutionary changes. But
republic that it is, Czecho-
Slovakia still treasures the
memory of its king and patron
saint and the life of the capital,
Prague, now Praha, still centers
around st. Wenceslaus square.
Praha, on a direct route be-
tween Germany and Austria, is
within a few hours of both
Berlin and Vienna. Air travel
has made the distance a neg
ligihle one. So if you are in
either capital, do please try and
pay a visit to the town that has
been dubbed a poem in stone"
But for all it's old beauty and
old world charm and serenity,
it is an extremely busy modern
city, with go-getter business

me-" you say to yourself. "All
that fuss over in Germany and
Austria-those rows between
Japan, China and Russia
they're not my happiness.
They're all too far away. They
won't affect my private life"
That's what you think. That's
what the common citizens of
France thought $50 years ago.
They, too believed that things
couldn't touch their private
lives because they were "too far
away"
And there was a reason why
they thought that. Things were
far away. Time and space, in
that day, raised almost unpas-
sable barriers between peoples.
Those simple French peasants
were justified in thinking that
private life" would go on for
them as it had for all their
grandfathers.
But you aren't justified in
thinking that. And if you value
you health you'd better snap
out Of it. For
THERE ARE NO LONGER

So stop yawning over the
headlines, and complaining be-

a nuisance. Those headlines
and broadcasts are the most
important thing in your day.
They are far more important
they will have a much deeper
and more lasting effect on
your own life-than the do

your own nearest and dearest.
THERE ARE NO MORE PRI-

You are no longer a citizen

turning somersaults. After a

But they will settle down to a
new world-to a world as differ

the moon is different from Mars.
And a new breed Of men and

world-hold its big jobs; enjoy

Everyone Writing.
(Journal of Commerce, seattle.)

(Journal of Commerce Seattle)
 Probably there never was time many people were trying to turn themselves into writers as the present.
 Every publishing house and every magazine office is deluged with manuscripts Colleges and univer- stes to say nothing of correspondence schools and so-called schools set up by worn-out Underwriters offer innumerabe courses designed to show that you too can become a poet, playwright a novelist or whatnot. The cck-clack of the type writer is heard everywhere from kitchens to prisons and from deepwater ships to city flats.
 But the net result of it all, unfortunately, is only very slight addition to the worlds supply of worthwhile literature. Much is being written, these days, but little of it is of value The overwhelming majority of completed manuscripts, of course, are printed; but of those that do make the grade only few are worth the paper and pulp used.
 Considering the incredible richness and color of American life for the creative writer and the extent to which the urge for creative works has spread among people everywhere, this is trifle Iodd and the reason very possibly is simply the fact that we have too many people trying to teach others how to write and not enough people trying | to teach themselves.
 | H. L. Mencken remarked not long ago that the one good way to learn to write is to soak yourself in the works of the great writers. The embryonic writer who immerses himself in Hardy, Conrad, Thackeray Poe and the others may learn, un- consciously, how great tales put together and how great English is written, far better than any one can teach you.
 | And Charles J. Finger points out that "Bunyan the tinker, and Burns the powman, and Whitman the office man, and Keats the apothecary, and Dickens the factory boy had schooling to train them in writing They had something to express and they expressed themselves"

 The cement makers rather huffly intimated that the Secretary was too high handed and 1t might be that the Boulder Dam work would have to get along without cement if he didn't act more cir rlmspectly.
 Did that subue MT. Ickes? To the contrary. He retorted that 1t was entirely possibly for the Gov enment to manufacture cement for its own uses "A that 1t might do just that unless it got some

The Kidnapping Menace.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

Without recourse to statistics it is evident that the crime of Kidnapping has become epidemic in ths country To be sure, the publicity it gets, due to the inevitable prominence of it's victims is out of proportion to it's prevalence, but when one day brings news of three fresh outrages of the sort there can be little doubt that the underworld has adopted Kidnapping as one of its most popular and audacious rackets For crime like dress or sport has its fads. Yesterday its votaries concentrated on beer-running; today, deprived of this lucrative outlet, many Of them have turned to abduction.
 The transition is natural one The same sort Of organization required for beer-running is needed in Kidnapping. In either there must be a
 mob secret storage facilities confederaes political Fly infuentia-n brief, elaborate conspiracy in- |volving a relatively numerous personnel held to loyalty through fear of underworld vengeance and screened from justice by affiates in politics What happens when this organization is lacking is well illustrated in the of little Margaret McMath whose amateur abductor is now serving a prison term of twenty-four years
 We do not mean to suggest that the country would have been free from kidnapings had it never trained huge criminal class to help it in evadng the Prohibition statute. On the other hand the sudden increase in his form of crime with the egalization of beer and the collapse of Prohibi- tion enforcement generally is surely more than a coincidence. There is cause and effect in the enormous growth of rackets of every description since Prohibition began breeding lawlessness MT Fred A. Victor thinks not and in a letter in another column returns to. his charge that this newspaper has been unfairly indicting Prohibition for the corruption and crimnality of the day But few will be able to follow his reasoning who from personal observation and experience compare conditions
 before the Vostead with those since Who remembers, for instance, any such eruption of kidnapngs as that now challenging society? l It is challenge of major proportions Forum
 ately to judge from the efforts to meet it promised by local State and Federal authorities it is being recognized as such The public which con- doned beer-running and has eebly protested against forms of extortion involving property will insist on war to the knife against this hideous menace And what it insists on it will get Let the underworld tuck the warning away if it would escape an- initiation

Fred Palm, Michigan resident who in 1927 was sentenced to life imprisonment in the State Penitentary for possessing a. pint of liquor, is once more a free man. Palm was sentenced under the States habtual criminal law. His conviction of possessing the flask of whiskey was the fourth felony for him and he automatically committed to prison for life The created stir through out the country He pardoned early this month, after having served five years and nine months None blame him for shaking the dust of Michigan from his feet and going to an- other State to get a new start in life
 Palm may run afoul of the law again and again be locked away from his fellow men. But it is safe to say that it will not be under Federal statute against possessing liquor.
