that bodies as well as pocketbooks still paying
for the World war; that not all the human misery
created by that conflict was assuaged when the
armistice was signed.
For Berlin paper explains the shortage Of
mannequins as follows:
There are more applicants for mannequins' jobs
than ever. but their chests are too narrow their
shoulder blades protrude too far, or their carriage
is poor owing to weak physique. Hardships during
childhood and during the war years are responsible
This of course can be traced to the allied block
ade which doomed thousands upon thousands Of
German children to pass through the formative
years of childhood with insufficient nourishment
And that in turn, is apt to make us wonder If
this blockade really was as much less savage than
Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare as we
used to think.
The submarine war sent many ships to the
bottom without warning and drowned many non
combatants; the blockade deprived children Of the
food they needed, and the evidence is to be found
today in the fiat chests shrunken bodies and curved
shoulders Of Gernanys young men and women.
From this distance the matter of savagery in
humanity and SO on seems to be about six of one
and half a dozen Of the other
And that, to go a step farther, indicates once
more that the complaint of the pacihsts is pretty
largely true; that is horrible, brutal and cruel
business no matter how it is waged, and that there
is precious little sense in trying to decide which side
was the more cruel.
Germany sank our ships and helped starve
Germany's children. 1t would be somewhat pre-
sumptuous to say that our way of making war was
the more humane.

This is the first Of two articles by
DR.. Fishbein on the development Of
vocational guidance.
COCIAL service is finding that it
y is more valuable to aid a dis
abled person in securing work
suitable to his disability than to
attempt to carry him along on
charity.
For this reason, many investi-
gative bodies. commissions, and
agencies finally have developed
technic known as vocational
guidance.
Guidance in this type of social
work demands the same type Of
sympathetic humane understand
ing that prevails in medical work.
People who are handicapped are
extremely sensitive and react
badly to condescension and too
much sympathy.

BUSINESS SENSE

Investment of million dollars to save anywhere
from Is to so millions seems like good business any
way you look at it.
That is why economy in the federal trade COM
mission appropriation for 1884 is the most foolish
proposal yet made regarding the public money
No considerations of humanity or sentiment enter
into this situation nothing but hard-headed affec-
ton for ones own income. The taxpayer who pre-
fers to have smaller tax BILL but to pay more next
year for everything he buys, approves of the 65 per
cent trade commission cut voted by the house of
representatives. The taxpayer able to count the
cost tomorrow instead of today is opposed to it.
The trade commission investigated fraudulent
claims that certain underwear was all wool 1t

SIGNING WITHOUT LOOKING

The Texas newspaper reporter who found it an
easy job to get 400 reputable fellow citizens to sign
petition urging President Roosevelt to appoint his
would be assassin, Gieuseppe zangara, to job in
the cabinet seems to have proved once more that
the ordinary man doesn't bother to read things
very closely before he signs his name to them.
This petition began with harmless paragraph
urging government economy, and that apparently,
enough for the hasty 400
Innocently enough, they signed on the dotted
line; and the ease with which their signatures were
obtained casts light on the way in which
public petitions get circulated, signed and delivered
There still is good deal to be said for the canny
old Yankee custom of refusing to sign anything
until every word has been scrutinized with devout
care.

Stars Bigger, Hotter

ELECTIONS causing the aurora
IL may have energies equivalent
to billion volts. Cosmic ray
energies are at least ten times
greater than that.
DR.. Swami does not believe that
cosmic rays could arise in sun
spots. Moreover, if they did, it
should be easy to detect expert
mental evidence Of the fact and
no such evidence ever has been
found.
1t is known, however, that there
are many stars larger and hotter
than our own sun. Spots on such
stars might have much greater
magnetic fields, hurting out cleo
irons with the energies exhibited
by cosmic rays.
In support Of his theory, DR..
Swami calls attention to the ex-
periments Of DR.. Compton and
others which indicate that cOsmic
rays are more intense in the polar
regions than in the equatorial
zone.
This, he says, shows that cosmic
rays are affected by the earths
magnetic field in the same way as
the electrons from sun spots which
cause the aurora.

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

IN the diary Of the late Arnold
L Bennett one finds this entry:
THE friendships between Amer
lean men seem more charming
than between Englishmen. They
call each other by their Christian
names, and are softer to each
other. "A very dear friend of mine
is a frequently heard phrase. They
are more caressing with their
voices"
1t is a gracious entry, but it is
unjust to the Englishman, whose
royal shyness is much misunder-
stood. To Americans emotions
we're given to express; to English
men, to suppress.
An Englishman feels as deeply
as an American, but he is less
glib in saying so. One learns to
value the gruff and even clumsy
attitude of the Englishman, for
still waters run deep.
Nor is that all-familiarity is
not always friendship; not by a
long shot. One remembers the
story told by President Wilson in
his speech at Manchester, during
his visit to England in 1918.
1t was about an American who
slapped a man on the back as if
he had been a long lost brother.
To which the man replied: Real
ly, do not know your name, but
your manners are familiar" A
back-slapper may not be a friend
at all.
IF BENNETT had used the word
4 fellowship instead of friend
ship. it would have been nearer the
truth. To call a man by his
Christian name is a token Of
pleasant. intimate companionship,
in which we Americans do excel
our English friends.
But in friendship, no. Some Of
us can bear witness to the beau
tiful loyal, long-lasting friendship
Of English people, whose names
are a rosary Of memory and
gratitude in our hearts.
All human felIowships depend
for their validity and beauty up
on a rhythm Of intimacy and
aloofness. To forget that fact is to
trample upon the hottest things Of
life

Times Readers

Editor Times-I noticed the ar
ticle in The Times about the
school principal who sent a little
boy home because he wore SUI
spenders. 1t is very evident that
this woman who calls herself a
principal-one to guide children
has no spark of human feeling
in her makeup.
Where is the boy who isn't proud
of his first long trousers and
suspenders? And what has our
public school system come to when
it allows a narrow-minded and
old-fashioned individual to dictate
to the pupils even in the matter
of dress, thereby depriving them
of every bit Of individuality,
which should be guided rather
than entirely suppressed, especial
ly at that age where so many
ideas and opinions are taking
shape?
1t is surprising that the mothers
would allow such a thing. Has
the taxpayer no right to say any
thing, when it is his money pay
ing that woman's salary?
Certainly she is not fitted to be
the principal of a grade school
better the matron Of a prison,
where she could deal with those
old enough to fight back, instead
of having to meekly obey her out
rageouS commands.
I have had occasion to visit sew
eral of the grade schools recently.
and I find that the spirit Of the
principal is reflected throughout
the school, Just last week I visit
ed a school where the parents
certainly are not supposed to be
wealthy, but the discipline and at
mosphere Of the whole school
far surpassed that Of many Of the
schools where they do not have
to stand for such thing as lit
tie boy we"ring suspenders.
The principal and the teachers
of that school were all human be-
ings. The1 reasoned with, rather
than dictated to, the pupils. and
may 7 say that I never have seen
such a well-behaved and happy
group Of grade school students.
And I dare say one could find
several pairs Of suspenders in that
group. The high school and COL
lege boys wear them. Surely if
the grown men are allowed to
follow this fashion, there is no
harm in boy not yet in his teens
INDUCING in it.
There are thousands Of young
and progressive women in the
state of Indiana with college de-
greeS, many of them with masters
degrees, who would be glad to
have a chance to guide young
people, yet a thing like this is per-
mitted.
What is this strange power that
some people have which gives
them the right to hold a job for
which they so obviously are I'M
fitted?
And why is such a thing per-
mitted in what is supposed to be
a free country? Can you give the
answer? I am not the only one
who would like to know.
