along the Alki Point beach, in

there say the crows have all the
better of the seagulls. The gulls
claw UP clans at the waters edge,
soar into the sky with them and
drop them on the rocks below, to
break them open. But the crows

and about the only prediction that seems safe is that when the various blocks have all been put together again the picture will look like nothing we ever saw before.
 It is for this reason that all the learned attempts to analyze and dsseet the reeov- cry program are SO contradictory. No two critics of the program get the same result. Does the arch-conservatve eomplain--as one did. reeently-that it is getting almost impossible to tell the news from Moscow from the news from Washington these daysi On another page you can find the areh-radical protesting that the whole busi- ness is just a great fascist coup designed to enthrone privileged wealth forever.
 Does the studious economist prove con- elusively with graphs and columns of fig ures, that the kind of economy represented in the industrial and agricultural control plans cannot possibly work? You can find books by equally studious economists (writ- ten before March 4 last) proving that only through planned economy similar to the one now being attempted can meehanied modern society survive. The doctors, in other words disagree about as thoroughly as can be imagined; and the more thoughtful and learned they are, the more they seem to differ with one another.
 And what it all comes down to is the fact that we are starting out on road so new that we have got to make up our maps as we go along. That, in turn, brings our democratic society up against it's supreme test. Have we enough intelligence, enough apt- tude for the science of politics, enough training in the business of self-sovernment. to carry this experiment through successfully! If you doubt it you had better start looking for cyclone cellar But if you believe that we have-and there are good reasons for so believing-you can face the future with con- fidenee.

The Bicycle's Return

Believe it or not. bicycle manufacturers report the production of 45,00o bikes in July this year, a gain of 50 per cent over June and of 275 per cent over July, l932. The big increase represents a new demand for bicycles for adults. both men and wo- men. Boys and girls never gave up the bicycle, but their elders have done little pedalling since the ninetes Now they are taking it up again.
 Tandems are coming back too. It. is all rather incredible. A genuine rvival of bicycling in this motorized age seems im- possible. Auto and bike do not get along well together on the highways any more than do auto and horse drawn vehicle. There will have to be special bicycle lanes if this development proves to be more than pass ing fad.
 . Yet. after all. there is some sense in use of the bicycle. With the automobile for speed and distance. there is field for the slower, more personal type of vehicle. The bicycle for short jaunts for errand run; ming and exercise may have real service to perform, provided it is not allowed fur ther to eomplieate an already complex traf- fife situation.

The Gentle Cow

It is question whether the dumbest ani- nal is the COW or chicken. Both arc road pests, the latter especially in this eoun- try and the former in Canada. because of their unpredietable course. Both incline to start across the road just as car approach es. There are some indications of im- provement lately in this respect perhaps from survival of the fittest--the dumbest being killed off and leaving no descend ants. But this present comment concerns a COW in field. It was in England where farmers have taken to soaring perambulant young couples out of their fields by letting bulls run loose in them.
 The young man saw bovine menace trotting toward him and his girl. apparent ly with hostile intent. He had seen bull fights in the cinema. He would do some thing heroic Quickly he whipped off his eoat--an undignified thing to do in Eng land you understand, but justified by the situaton-and faced the beast like torea- dor, throwing the garment gracefully over the ereaturc's horns. Alas for heroisml The fierce bull. which turned out to be an ami able COW. quietly ambled over and dropped the coat into neighboring pond. Which is about the most intelligent thing we ever heard of COW doing.

Hartford is nothing if not thorough in maintaining health standards. It's health board is forever enforcing some ediet or law that is regarded lightly by other enforcement agencies. Its latest effort is to demand that landlords keep their property in such a con dition that the health of tenants is not mem aeed. Several tenements in the city were re- gently shown to be woefully in want of re- pairs. In fact some of the health board commissioners considered several places vis- ited uninhabitable. As a result warnings have been issued and unless the owners make the necessary repairs probably condemnation proceedings will result. Doubtless the board is able to proceed in this fashion. If it wasn' t it would not have actually conducted investi- gations. It's good way of preventing slum districts forming in any community. Where the proper governmental agencies do not CO., operate, however, results are usually lacking,
 Hartford, we are glad to see, is desirous of
 keeping its reputation as city of the first rank.
