S. M. seems terribly perturbed over
the immense" damage which the
so-called drunken legionnaires in
f1icted upon Chicago during the ma
tional convention.
Why are some people so eager to
throw rocks at the American Legion
boys at every opportunity? Are they
not entitled to some fun once a
year? They did the dirty work
fifteen years ago while lot Of the
present day knockers were staying
at home cheering.
Could that enormous parade have
been put on with such dispatch and
precision by thousands of drunken
brawlers?
I have no authority on the i'm.
mense damage done to the Chicago
hotels, but will venture a guess that
they, as well as other places of bust
ness, welcomed the estimate of bet
ter than 100000 which the legion
raires spent.
I was in Chicago from Sunday lIn-
til Thursday, in the loop hotels a
number Of times, and can truthfuIly
say I did not see disorderly drunk
en- legion man or a brawI. I hap
oened to see, though, several young
Chicago wise guys who were rather
disorderly get escorted bodily from
the Sherman.
The Times may be guilty of biased
news reporting, if so S. M. is equally
guilty of prejudice against the
legion.
BY v. S. McClatchy.
Roy Howard, head Of the Scripps-
Howard group Of newspapers, as
quoted in Golfers, Oct. 81, accurate
ly describes conditions in Japan and
the psychology Of the japanese peo-
pie. Public opinion there is dictated
by the government, which means the
military arm thereof. Here it is
evolved from free discussion by
press and people. The attitude of the
Japanese people and the policy of
the japanese government toward the
United States, he explains, are based
on the belief that as a people we
are weak and cowardly, and as ma
ton unwilling to fight and unpre-
pared for war. He suggests there
fore that our relations with Japan
would be more pleasant and more
satisfactory If we correct their mis-
apprehension by building our navy
up to treaty strength and otherwise

demonstrating our ability to protect
ourselves in case of necessity.
In that suggestion Mr. Howard I'M
doubtedly will be supported deter
minedly by the mass of the Amer
lean people. However, they can not
fail to marvel that man who ex-
presses himself SO clearly and forci-
bly, in this matter suggests also that,
as gesture of good will, we open
the immigration gates to Japanese
under quota. If Mr.. Howard were to
make study Of the immigration
problem as thorough as was his in
vestigation of conditions and
psychology in Japan he would be-
come convinced that to concede
Japan's demand in the immigration
question would add confirmation to
her belief in our weakness and fear.
It would furnish encouragement for
an early demand for still further
concessions toward her frankly pro-
claimed goal of racial equality
full rights for her nationals in con-
nection with immigration, citizen
ship, land ownership, etc. If this
proposed concession from Japan is
to be made it should be done at least
with full recognition of the cost.

you are just another one who is

would get word of praise once in

upon.
You say you pay for real police

Weird Meeting

The weirdest meeting I
have read about in years.
It is the Political Murderers
in session-the Congress Of
Political Murderers. Presid-
ing is a young man, barely
35, clean-shaven, dark-eyed
and hollow-cheeked, with
something about him of the
eagle or the mountain hawk.
He is dressed in rough
homespun, a sheepskin
coat, and short boots over
his rough, woolen stockings.
This beardless ascetic is
Ivan Michailov, chief Of the
Macedonian terrorists in
their armed revolt against
Jugoslavia.
One by one, the group
around the campfire reports
to the young chief the tale
of knifings and shootings
they have accomplished dur
ing the year. When all have
reported, the Congress finds
that it has a record of
$50 killings and five kidnap-
pings in the past three years.
And there under the stars,
in the heart of the noun
tains, new captains are Sc
lected and new killings
planned. The Congress ad-
journs.

me
Lives here;
Works, plays, loves, laughs
AS if it knew
No other life but this.
Yet, all the while,
Unseen by those who watch,
My secret self
Goes cropping on your trail;
Goes calling-calling.
Do you ever hear?
Or, hearing. know
How I still love you, dear?
How can I tell you
That our love goes on
Unchanged?
How prove to all the world
That love is worth
All that it costs in pain?
Easy enough to raise
A monument to grief.
But how shall one
Build monuments to joy?
Erect shaft?
To pride and gratitude?
Show, by some symbol
Or heroic act,
All that love meant
In those lost years-and now?
A slab Of stone?
No; stones too cold
And dead.
Your body died,
And, with it, half my heart,
But not one throb
Of our warm love has cooled.
It burns as brightly
AS before you passed.
Why mark living love
With piles of cold, dead stone?
A wreath of flowers?
But funeral flowers are sad.
Cut off, they wither,
And their sweetness fades.
If I should grieve-
Wear withered flowers
On my aching heart
Then all the world would say,
"She's sorry that she loved.
"She mourns her own lost JOY.
Love spoils a life, sometimes.
BE careful how you love!"
Cold stones
And faded flowers?
No. such things betray
And shut you out;
Make death seem final!
Seem to say
That loves not worth
The price ona has to pay.

world. The name of the So
ciety is "The Black Dragon"
It's purpose is japanese con-
quest of all Asia, with Japan
as the greatest power the Far
East ever saw-greater than
the Eastern empire raised by
Alexander the Great or
Caesar.
1t was the society of the
Black Dragon which drove
Japan into the war with
Russia and the war with
China. Utterly ruthless in it's
methods, it assassinates op-
ponents with the thorough
going methods of Chicago
and New York gangsters.
Throughout Japan is the
dread that the Vaccinations
of this dread organization
may bring the death by knife
or bullet of high government
officials who strive to keep
the peace, and who plan the
destruction of the Black
Dragon.

Three-Minute Journeys
BY Temple Manning

The busiest street in Genoa
Is, of course, the Via Settembra
On one side are modern build
ings and on the other the por-
ticos and facades of fine old
edifices. Street cars and auto
mobiles clang busily along,
people throng the sidewalks,
everything is bustling as befits
the modern artery of an ancient
city that has much prestige to
live up to.
War Memorial
On the spacious Piazzo della
Vittoria is the triumphal arch
by Picamenti to honor those
Genoese who fell in the World
War. In the heart Of the city,
from the left of the Via Carlo
Felice one comes to the Piazza
de Ferrari with it's old and new
buildings, including the Carlo
F'elice Theater in classical style
with old palaces for neighbors.
Near the Palazzo della Borsa
are the charming cloisterS Of
SAINT Andrea, the battlemented
high gate and the little house
of Christopher Columbus, the
focal point of every visit to
lovely old Genoa.
The Old and the New
On one street especially can
one see the old and new side by
side. Turning from the Piazza
de Ferrari into the Via Sellai
one sees the grand old ducal
palace, the former residence Of
the Doges, and nearby the
grand new offices housing the
steamship lines that have Genoa
as their terminal port. In the
ducal palace are magnificent
chambers and in the chapel are
the famed Carlone frescoes that
tell the story of the discovery
of America.
Some of the old palaces and
buildings have been skillfully
. brought up to date and are be.
ing used as offices without sac.
rificing any Of their original
charm.

Secret Orders

At the head of the society,
and the author of secret or
ders which decrecd the muir
der of ministers of state, is
the white-beardcd and ven
cradle Mitsuru Toyama, Is
years of age, humble and
self = abasing, but a man
driven by a relentless ambi-
tlon to bring about Japanese
mastery of the Eastern world.
Thousand Of fanatical young
men-and young women,
too-obey his lightest whis-
per as if it came from the
gods themselves, and do
murder at the signal of the
ll1ted flnger OF this gentle
seeming and placid sage.
Only the other day one of
his ieutenants, Yoshio Ko-
dana, head of the Loyal
Youths Society, was ar
rested by the secret police
in the grounds of a temple.
Knowing he was trapped, he
fired dum-dum bullets into
his chest.

Inspires Terror

Mitsuru Toyama third
son, Hidezo, was arrested
with copies in his pocket
of an order commanding
the murder of important
personages. But the Japan
ese newspapers, in apparent
terror of the very name Of
the terrible old man, Nit
suru, printed asterisks in
stead Of his name. He is
so powerful and menacing
they did not dare to put the
name in cold type.
This ruthless old gentle
man, who makes one think
of the King of the Assas-
sins who flourished during
the Crusades, is a devout
Buddhist. A dog bit him.
He spoke to it gently and
bought it some cakes. When
human beings threaten him
he has them removed from
this life with extreme sud
denness.
He lives alone in a
humble little house whose
door is never locked. He
sat one time for five days
without eating, sleeping or
speaking, to prove that
mind can master matter.
His real name is Otojiro
this strange and terrible
old man, whose very name
sends the timorous to their
knees.

One can ramble in Genoa for
days and days, dipping back

About half way down the
Balbi, on the right, is the fab

churches, too. on the Via BaIbi
which leads into the Piazza Of

the church which dominates
the square.
Tunnels lead from one square
to the next until the famous
Via Garibaldi is reached, the

Are you getting happiness
out of your club membership?
Isn't it true that you mingle
with about the same crowd in
your sport that you do through
out the winter social season.
You are member Of a cer-

summer sports and you hold
aloof from other members.
Undoubtedly you do know a
lot of good fellows in your club.
You find them most COM
panionable and interesting.
They may or they may not

Liberty or Death

The "comitajis,'' they
are called-these guerilla
bands, made up mostly of
Bulgarians who are sworn
on the Bible, dirk and pistol
to an oath of Liberty or
Death" By liberty they
mean the liberty of Mace
donia, and a new state to
be assembled from the pieces
of carved-up Macedonia
now held by Jugoslavla,
Bulgaria, and Greece.
Another result of the
Treaty of Versailles and the
work of the cid gentlemen
who thought they could
change human nature by
making a new map Of a very
old Europe. Fierce and ruth
less they ride on their border
raids, these wild comitajis,
their one aim to spread ter
ror with fire and sword.
They are firebrands scatter
ing sparks in a powder maga-

that magazine may come,
any year, any month, the
new war that will draw all
Europe into it's fatal blast,

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

It is the psychoanalyst's
theory that EVERYBODY is
born with an inferiority COM
plex, and spends most Of his
life trying to reduce it. Your
inferiority complex may be your
guiding genius-or your de-
stroying devil. 1t may be the
inspiration of your finest
achievements or the instigator
of your meanest and pettlest
acts.
A great man or a successful
man is one who has made the
discovery early in life that the
only way to reduce his inferior
ity complex is by doing some
thing worth while, accomplish
ing something that will set him
up in his own eyes. That IS
why most important people are
so simple and modest.
The snob, on the other hand.
is a person who lacks the ability
or the energy to do anything
worth while, and feels the old
I. C. gnawing at his soul. His
only way of subduing it is by
resorting to "snootineSS." And
the smaller he can make the
other person feel, the larger and
more important he becames IN
his own eyes.
A beetle feels positively tire.
mendous when it can look down
and sneer at an ant-but 1t
would run, if it saw a mouse
approaching. It's all a matter
of comparison.
There are lots of ways Of re-
ducing the inferiority complex.
Driving a snappy car has been
most effective in doing it for
some people, even though the
owner didn't know where the
money was coming from for the
second payment.
And many an ermine coat Is
merely the overhead for an en-.
larged inferiority complex,
which MUST be tempered by
something to flaunt in the faces
Of 1.-THE Joneses."
When a mans wife turns out
to be a better business man
than he is, he often relieves his
sense of failure by assuming a
superior and critical attitude
toward her, and by receiving
all her opinions with uplifted
eyebrows and a "snooty" shrug.
That sets him right up in his
own Self-eSteem.
And nothing gives a maid-ser.
