Not only does the lady marry him, but a
wedding gift she buys him a newspaper.
The hero proceeds to embark on very vaguely
defined program Of reform. In so far as the play
touches his outside activities it merely mentions
the fact that he is intent creating model hous-
ing and running a stuffed shirt for Congress.
Philip Barry, the playwright, pretty nearly turns
his back upon the political and economic ideas of
the character whom he created. Instead, the play
is built around the home life of the liberal and the
lady whom he does not love- but who happens, by
a coincidence to be his wife.

A DVANCEMENT in developing
L n engines of death since the
World War is nowhere more
strikingly shown than in anti
aircraft guns. A weapon of ter
rife death-dealing power, the
modern anti-aircraft gun is al
most as far ahead of the feeble,
futile "Archies" of 1918 as the
machine gun is of the spear and
the arrow.
Built of the lighter kinds of al
10y steels, these guns have mo-
bility never before attained in ar
tillery. Their fire automatically
directed, they have an accuracy
never dreamed of by gunners Of
the last generation. War makers
have developed an anti-aircrafJ
gun for every purpose.
For the low-hying raiders there
is a 50-caliber Browning that can
fire 1000 times a minute. Going
up the scale, there is the 37-milli-
meter gun that fires $50 rounds a
minute, with range of $4,000
feet. Its one pound explosive bull
let has fuse so sensitive that it
is set off by contact with the light
est substance and even touching
the wing tip of plane would
cause a blast that would ami
hilate the target.
The threeinch guns fire only
about 100 rounds a minute, but
their power is vastly greater than
the smaller weapons. Largest of
all anti-aircraft guns, the 105-mil-
limeter hurls a 33-pound pro-
jectile for vertical distance of
nearly nine miles.
How amazing an advance has
been made in perfecting this i'm
plement of death is shown by the
pictures.

(For the Literary Service Bureau)
For years he worked during the
day and spent his evenings in the
class rooms of Cooper Union In
stitute until he was awarded the
degree of bachelor of science in
chemistry. The double duty, no
doubt, required strict application
with no waste of time on frivo-
lous amusements; but the diploma
opened the door to promotion,
with brighter prospects to come.
So he worked on, faithfully and
hopefully, until a persistent
cough sent him to the doctor who
diagnosed tuberculosis. Then fol-
lowed years of fighting the dis
ease, brave fighting in which he
was supported by the love Of his
family, but finally we bowed our
heads over his earthly remains.
We wondered Could this be
the end? Did years of study and
work just come to this? How
often have not the bereaved in
similar situations asked these
questions, asked them with an
guish in their souls. Indeed, can
death be the end of all of mans
striving and suffering? Ever he
strains and reaches out for some
thing better, only to discover at
last that he did not get what he
wanted, only to realize at the end
of his life that he has not lived
enough. But still he reaches out,
and finds in the very desire q
warrant for the life eternal.

EDUCATION FASCIST AND NON-FAsCIsT

Enrolment in German universities before the Nazi regime
was 100000 in 1881 as compared to $4,000 in 1884 and
1900 in 1885. OF all the applicants for German university ed
ucation in 1894, only 40 per cent Of the men and II per cent
of the women were admitted. Also the school term has been
reduced from 40 to 80 weeks per year. When the Academy
for Training of Teachers was opened in Bavaria this year. the
Nazi press wrote, ''The central point to the training of the
German elementary school teacher viii be devotion to the
Header."
In Fascist Italy, the number of university students decreas-
ed from $1,000 in 1927 to 1880 in 1882.
In contrast to these figures, university rolls in the
U. S. S. R. have increased from $4,000 in 1927 to sol, 900 in
1893 In the I. S. in spite of the depression, the number grew
from $1,000 IN 1925 100000 in 1882. q

races who boast of their culture
and civilization must needs divest
themselves of much of their
boosted culture and fall back upon
an earlier and more primitive
level of the child soul before they
can experience the function a d
zest of spiritual exhiliration.
Herein lies the Negroes superla-
tive advantage for e spiritual
leadership of this day and genera
ton. 1t may not be deemed
blasphemy to exhort the proud and
mighty of our day and genera
ton: "Verily, Verify, l say unto
you, unless we become as the Me-
gro in soul disposition ye cannot
enter the Kingdom of Heaven"
But what of the disciples of
Father Divine when they become
disillusioned as to his Messiah
ship? Alas, this is the tragic
contemplation which all religious
movements must sooner or later
confront. When research and curl
osity of science found no place for
the gods on Mt. Olympus, they
were banished to the sky and CIV
en- names among the stars. When
the modern telescope found no
place for them in the solar sys-
tenn, Saturn, Jupiter and Juno, di-
vine personages who once lived
among, and mingled with mortals
were reduced to an abstraction of
mythology and speculation. The
unsophistocated child-like mind
can only grasp things divine and
spiritual when they assume en-
bodiment in fleshy form. Disollu-
sionment awaits them all. When
the third and fourth generation of
Father Divine's disciples have
been exposed to the educational
opportunities of New York City
and to the sophisticated life of
that environment, will they hold to
the simple faith and credulity of
their more untutored and child
like forebears? Probably not.
Such is the story of all religion.
AS the generations grow wiser
they become less credulous, rever-
ent and devout. But in the mean
time, Father Divine is bringing
the true function of religion to
submerged Harlem, a folk without
employment or income. A group
without outlook can only look
upwards. Father Divine in his
simple, unsophisticated way, is
bringing succor to the suffering,
solace to the sorrowing, and is
preaching glad tydings to the
poor. The common people hear
him gladly. If the gospel which
he brings to them soothes and sat
isfies their unsophisticated souls
for the day and hour, let that uf-
flee. The genuine student of re-
ligious life and evolution, as he
observes Father Divine in opera
ton, will stop, listen and learn,
but never laugh.

political movements in Central
Europe that were frowned on by
our Wall Street Bankers. As an
engineer in China and Africa he
cracked down on coolie employees
in a manne that shocked an Eng
lish court.
1 suspect that Mr.. Hoover's
newly found desire to keep Ameri-
ca American is all tied up with his
yearning to protect these same
business men. The average
American has been convinced that
his civil and political rights are in
danger unless Big Business is
icurbed. 1t is plain that Big Bust
ness has got hold of America and
is using legal and constitutional
forms to feather its own nest.
Workingmen are beginning to
say that something drastic will
have to be done. That alarms Mr..
Hoover.
There's nothing un-American
about this desire of the people to
put a crimp in Big Business. The
Declaration of independence says
that whenever a government be-
m destructive of (the right to
life, libetry and the pursuit of
happiness) it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it."
Abraham Lincoln, who has
some claim to being a great
American, observed that "this
government with its institutions
belongs to the people; whenever
they grow weary-they can exer-
else their constitutional right of
amending it or their revolutionary
right to dismember or overthrow
it."
That's plain enough and it
seems to be good Americanism.
But every time a change is even
suggested Mr.. Hoover and his
friends tear their hair and shout
that foreign Reds are undermin-
ing our institutions. They seem
to think that exploitation and
Americanism are synonymous.
When they talk about keeping
America American they mean
they want to keep it safe for their
own plundering. | won't join Mr..
Hoover's crusade but | will lend
my support to a movement to

A Miss and a Mile
A Little Learning

A Llttie Learning
There is much of philosophy
and of common sense in the axiom
that runs "a little learning is a
dangerous thing" As usual thing,
a little learning tends to make one
proud, vain and arrogant, a spirit
that binders success.
Pendantry makes one obnox-
ious, an object of disgust and ridi-
cule and stamps him as an indi-
vidual of little learning, for in
variably people of great knowl-
edge are humble and approach
able. The spirit of vanity and
pride will ALLEVIATE sympathy and
friendship, too. So, it is better as
admonished in this poem, to

Mr.. Hoover is the man who
promised us a chicken in every
pot and a car in every garage so
it goes without saying that his
announcements are to be taken
with a grain of salt. | am sorry
that he did not specify which of
our traditions he proposes to re-
tain in his latest crusade for

There are some American ira
ditons that l am quite willing to
dispense with and some in which
i do not want to keep America as
American as it has always been.
For example, lynching is a very
American habit that could die
without disturbing me. There are
others; | have never been an en-
thusiast for the American prac-
tice Of permitting a minority to
amass the wealth while the masses
live in poverty nor have | ever
lent support to discrimination,

On the other hand, there are
some American traditions that
ought to be strengthened as well
as retained: The right of free
dom of speech and assemblage,
religious and political freedom,
the right to speedy and public
trial and equality of opportunity
for everybody-all of them, alas,
more honored in the breach than
the observance. | suppose that
Mr.. Hoover would be quite willing
to be quoted as favoring the re-
tention of thes guarantees too.
But even the devil, it is said,

ord shows that he has always
been an Indifferent champion of
