Human Side of the News = By Edwin c.. Hill

) courtroom. In his pleasant,
iocular manner, he discouraged
any overt acts, for the moment,
and induced them to talk it
over. No psychoanalyst, pull
ing some infantile complex,
ever had anything like Judge
Johnson's job in tracing those
old poisonous and deadly ami
mosities.
He kept a sort of a suspense
file. When a killing was due,
he'd line up the principals and
sidetrack it. He rubbed out
many a desperate feud. Quite
a few of the Hatfields and NC
Coys survived their 10O-year
argument in Virginia, and a
lot of them are quite sub
stantial people down there TO-
day.
Down at washington, one
observes that old Senator Hat
fields hip pocket is always
bulging-with Bible. Back in
the West Virginia hills. he is
highly esteemed as a bone
setter, an art acquired in his
long familiarity with occupa-
tional and social mix-ups in
those parts. But when he
makes a speech in the Senate.
he builds up a mountain OF
books in front of him, lays his
manuscript on it and reads
staccato fashion, as if he were
firing from behind a log. He
never has any trouble with
anybody and only once in re-
cent years has he been really
angry.
AN EXCEPTION
When he left his Bible for a
moment on a train seat, he re-
turned to find it being read by
another traveller.
"Old Devil Anse" Hatfield
probably would have reached
for his gun. Down in Alabama
there are still some Smolderlng
feuds, but the worst OF them
was liquidated in 1893-along
with most of the feudists. This
was the serial engagement be-
tween the Sims and the Mea-
cham families, who had been at
it so long they had forgotten
how the fight started. The
both clans had become rowing
bands in the swamps, hairy, red
eyed, fang-toothed killers, each
intent on nothing except to COM
pletely obliterate the other out
fit. Which came off as adver-
tiSed.
When the World War came
along, many of the Southern
feudists resisted the draft and,
on occasion, turned their guns
on the Government agents.
Bloody Breathitt" county
was a singular exception. Its
eligible citizens signed up
eagerly and it was reported they
were a rootin', tootin' outfit
when they got into action over
in France. Quite recently they
dealt themselves a nice me-
mortal, commemorating this sub
limation of the old shooting
urge. Certainly, they have been
behaving better down there, the
last IS years.

Their flesh
Is cold and pale
Their blood
No longer leaps
To Life's fierce hail
Nor yearns to follow
Down her reckless trail
And yet,
I wonder
Are the dead
More strange
Than those who live,
Yet are afraid
To change?
Those coward spirits
Who'll not even give
A hearing
To Life's challenges
But who step aside
From all adventure
Lest the world deride!

Worms gnaW the dead,

But is there
Worse decay
Than that which comes
Before we pass away?
Or fouler horror
Than the things we breed
Through our own fright?
Fat, secret worms
OF laziness and greed,
Conceit, intolerance
And spite,
Which feed
On living brains
And leave them

And delight?

Just what is "ego?" It isn't

something much deeper than
these things. Ego is the deepest

upon which every act is based.

Harden Setter
For Fall
Hunts
BY LIZ HUME

If you are fortunate enough
to own an English setter, you
know most of the joys of dog
ownership-and few of the Sor-
rows.
If you are contemplating the
purchase of one of these dogs,
the points to look for in pups
from two to four months are
extreme length of head and
squareneSS of muzzle-narroW
skull, short body, short straight
tail, deep chest and straight
forelegs.
Gradual Process
The settlers that are destined
to hunt this fall should be
hardened off after summer re-
Taxation. The process should
be a gradual one.
The dog should be exercised
on a hard road at about four
miles per hour beginning with
lesser distances and working
up to about six or eight by
the middle Of September.
Before the dog is fed at
night he should have some
good hard work. Dummies put
out in various places and direc-
ton lessons given will help to
get the dogs wind right.
It is very easy for the dog to
get pieces of gravel and mud be-
tween the pads on his feet, and
matted hair between the toes,
or dried mud, causes lameneS5
Give First Aid
Another thing to be prepared
for is the danger which accom-
panies your dog when he is out
hunting-snake bites, cuts, etc.
So it is we'll to carry along with
you some of the first aid equip
ment necessary, such as a small
bottle of crystals of permanga-
nate of potash.
The English setter is priced
very highly as a companion.
With children he is remark
ably gentle. He is absolutely
faithful to his master and is
very easily trained.
AS a companion, the Irish set
ter also has much to be said in
his favor. Although by nature
more stubborn and difficult TO
train, he still has those fine,
gentle qualities for which every
breed of setter is famous.
If you have a good picture Of
your pet, Liz Hume invites you
to send it in for use in this col
umn. No pictures returned.

some of your experiences would
be of interest and value to other

her skin and hair are flaWlesS.
And her hands. faithful and

how often, through them, have
you told others that you are not

Adopt a daily routine in car

wash them in warm water with
a complexion brush and a rich

The same as ere I knew
The flash of white sails thrust

Beyond the rim of blue.
An added joy I hold
Which will not slip away,
Since I have heard old oceans

Have seen it's wind-tossed spray.
Siroccos, fierce and swift,
May scar this inland place;
Yet I have but to close my eyes
To feel the seas embrace.
And as my narrow walls
Press close and Stifle me,
I can escape when I recall
The seas ipfinity.
Something has come to bless

Since I have known the restless

Preparing Skin for Makeup
Dear Miss Shelby:
My skin is very oily. What
shall I do to it before applying
makeup? I have blonde hair.
What color makeup should I
use?
L. K.
Dear L. K:
Use soap and water for
cleansing your skin, first using
cream to remove makeup if
you so desire. Then soap and
water, cold water and an as
tringent. Don't leave cream
on your face over night ex-
cept around your eyes and on
your throat.
You don't describe your COL
oring, so it is difficult to adj
wise you about makeup. If
your skin is fair to 90 with
your blonde hair, wear natural
or rachel powder with a tawny
or red coral rouge and lipstick.

Noticeable Scar

Dear Miss Shelby:
A few years ago my 7-year-old
son was severely bitten by dog.
The scar is livid and noticeable.
Can you suggest something that
will in some way conceal it?
Sincerely, M. c.
Dear Mrs. M. c.:
Since your little son is so
young, it is quite probable that
he will outgrow the scars. In
the meantime, it can do no posi-
BILE harm to use soothing creams
or lotions or healing ointments
on his skin. In fact, since his
skin is so sensitive, it might be
well to use a soothing lotion as
a protection from wind and
weather.
If I were you, I would also
consult a physician about this
condition. He might be able to
prescribe something, or offer
some helpful advice.
"Liver-Patches"
Dear Miss Shelby:
Can you tell me the cause of
the dark brown "liver-patches"
that cover my face and chin?
Is there anything that will
bleach them?
Sincerely, R. D.
Dear Mrs. R. D.:
Moth patches or liver spots
are encouraged by the sun, so
try to avoid too much sun
light on an unprotected skin.
They may also be due to in
ternal arrangements that need
treatment inside and out.
Take the juice of a lemon
in a glass of hot water the first
thing in the morning. Be sure
that your elimination is good,
and keep the blood well circu-
lated by practising deep breath
ing. Get all the fresh air and
exercise possible.
Creams containing lemon
juice are bleaching in effect.
Home remedies are buttermilk,
tomato or lemon juice, peroxide
diluted three parts.
A pack m a d e with butter
milk mixed to a paste with
cornmeal is whitening in effect.

Stopped Speaking to Her

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I went with a certain boy for
almost a month, but not
STEADY" All at once we stopped
going together, and when he'd
see me he wouldn't speak. I
asked this boy friend what was
the matter, and he said that my
friend often gets spells" like
that. He isn't mad; he doesn't
know what's wrong with him.
Now when he sees me he al
ways speaks or waves to me.
Should I speak to him, too? I
like him a lot, but I don't want
him to think that I am running
after him. ANITA.
The marvel of two young peo-
Pile, or one of them, cutting the
other dead" when they're
much in love, or intensely inter
ested, must be passed up to
some of the more eminent psy-
choanalyStS - Freud, Jung or
Brill.
In my humble estimation.
these spells" as the young man
cleverly puts it, are just a plain
case of stage fright. In other
words, shyness.
Meeting the beloved suddenly
face to face inspires the same
sort of terror as when our music
teacher suddenly put a piece
with five flats before us and
told us to play-well, we usually
bungled, and we would have
liked to beat it.
When boys and girls cut each
other dead" they just don't
know how to play-that's all.
Be patient. Besides, it's always
the girls place to speak first.
