Noise That Is Unheard

One Of the things the ordinary citi-
zen usually finds hard to understand
is the habit some well-meaning folk
have Of holding demonstrations be-
fore the embassies or consulates Of
foreign powers.
The other day. for example, . siz-
able throng Of New Workers cluster
ed in the street before the Austrian
consulate in New York to protest
against the Austrian governments
use Of violence In its struggle with
the Socialists.
Now this may be among the worth
lest OF worthy causes - but what
earthly good does q demonstration Of
this kind do?
Could such q thing, conceivably.
have any effect on the decisions Of
the harassed government at Vienna?
Gould 1t help the beleaguered Social
lists behind their barricades in far
off Austria?
Such demonstrations are common
in all countries. But the fact that
they happen often doesn't make
them any easier to understand.

Lawyer Owes a Duty to
All Society

What does it take to make q gooC
lawyer? Probably there are lot Of
answers to that question. Earle w
Evans of Wichita, Kan, president OF
the American Bar association. sup
piled one version in recent speech
before Harvard Law School students
Here is the program he suggested
for budding lawyers:
Make speeches which show that
sou know the law; go to church so that
the best citizens" will see you: take
part in public affairs; join the Cham
Der Of Commerce and q service organ
ization; get known as public-spirit-
ed citizen: be q man OF strong con-
victions: engage in bill collecting. as
that's a good way to make contacts;
Join bar associations; get thorough
knowledge Of accounting, engineering,
and chemistry.
AS q guide book for fledgling at
torneys. this Is probably very
handy bit Of advice. But to the lay
man it is rather remarkable for the
things that it does not say.
The modern lawyer often gets In q
very peculiar dilemma. His duty to
his client, and to himself. can cut
directly across his duty to society as
a whole. He doesn't perform his
functions In a vacuum. but in q
highly complex and delicately inte-
grated society where his deeds can
have effects that he neither desired
nor foresaw.
The lawyer, for instance, who spe-
cializes II keeping gangsters out of
iail eventually may. through no wish
Of his own. fill role which is active
~ anti-social.
The lawyer who advises great fl
nanciers how to evade income tax
payments and sidestep government
regulations designed to control the
activities OF high finance can become
man who does society much more
harm than good.
The lawyer who shows a stock spe-
culator how he can get around the
rules which cover stock exchange ac-
tivities can become something little
better than parasite on society.
This peculiar criss-crossing of the
lawyers public and private duties
raise complex problem which, SO
far, the legal profession hardly has
attempted to solve. Advice to bud
ding lawyers-so the layn1en would
suppose-might properly touch on It
y little.

Citizens First!

One Of the unlocked for by-prod-
ucts Of the CWA program seems to
be new eagerness for American citi-
zership on the part OF residents who
were born abroad.
Records in typical American In
dustrial city recently show that the
demand for naturalization papers !;
many times greater now than it is
normally. During the first two weeks
in February, for instance, there were
more than 800 applications for first
papers; the ordinary monthly aver
ego has been around 50.
The reason for this, Of course, is
That men holding jobs under the
CWA have been threatened with loss
of their work II they remain aliens.
Hence the sudden rush to get under
Uncle Sans wing.
American citizenship has certain
very solid advantages, and the war
on the depression seems to be MAX
ing them more obvious than ever be-
fore.

been so hard and bright and noisy
those girls who had sat beside him
in high school and stood talking in
groups on snowy street corners and
waved to him in the summer from
speeding automobiles. They had de-
manded SO many things that he
didn't have-money, and time, and
a careless, fippant attitude toward
life and love. Especially toward
love. John Harmon couldn't be
careless about love- or hippanA,
couldn't be anything about it, in
fact, except afraid Of it. Afraid Of
it as all sensitive, imaginative peo-
pie are afraid Of things they do not
understand, have never encountered.
But If John Harmon was afraid

fear. In his own way he felt that
there must be, that anyhow there
b ould be, something fine and
lovely and = little sacred about
love. He couldn't be careless about
it-he couldn't be fiippant. So he
had kept away from it.
And then he had come to New
York. and one night he had sat on

for John Harmon. Something had

made ! definite break In his life.
From then on he always thought
Of the past in terms Of "before

And he thought less and less Of
"before" and more and more Of
"since" and his eyes lost their fear
and became confident and his mouth
lost its tenseness and learned to

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

And to John Harmon life had be-
come, indeed, just that. He had
come down from Vermont, q too
thin young man, shy, awkward. in
tense; with a too great love for
words and = half-realized fear Of
people. AS . little boy life had hurt
him badly. There were certain
things that he could never remem-
Der about his childhood without
feeling little sick. The winter he
had had to wear = girls coat to
school. The coat had belonged to .
cousin and was . good coat; but it
had fur collar and big pearl but
tons. He had been nine. , fine-fea-
tured, horribly sensitive child. One
night he had taken the coat and
rolled it into . tight bundle and
gone down to the river behind the
house and pushed it through . hole
In the ice. The next morning his
father had punished him fearfully
but he had bought him . coat. Then
there was the summer that woman
had lived 1T the house. His mother
had been dead three years then.
And this woman had come and John
Harmon had been glad ct first be-
cause he no longer had to wash
dishes and she cooked food that was
good. Then one day he had come
home unexpectedly and had found
her IN his fathers room going
through his mothers things. For
. moment he was like . person
zone suddenly mad. and so he
had. he had flung himself on her
and scratched her face and sunk his
nails into the soft flesh Of her neck,
and al the time he had been sob
bling and his eyes had been quite
blinded by tears. The woman had
left after that, and his father had
been better to him. Not exactly

GUESSING Is RIGHT (WRONG) IF
YOU GUESS IT'S A "COLD"


In a review OF the progress Of SCI
ence in 1888 Ransom Sutton observed
that the doctors are still guessing
about the cause of the common cold
That is putting 1t mildly.
In scientific medicine Koch's law is
universally recognized as a rational
test of the putative cause Of a dis
ease. Briefly these are the rules
formulated by Koch:
/. The organism should be
found in the bodies Of animals Tor
persons) having the disease.
2. 1t should be found in that
disease and no other.
3. It should occur in such
numbers and be distributed in
such q MANNER as to explain the
LESSONS of the disease.
4. The organism should be OBJ
tanned from the diseased indi-
vidual and propagated in pure
culture outside of the body.
S. incubation of a susceptible
animal with pure culture Of the
organism obtained by successive
TRANSFORMATIONS from the smallest
particle Of matter taken from the
original diseased individual should
produce the same disease.
s. A pure culture of the organ
ism should be obtained from this
inoculated animal.

Of these rules to the letter in order
