THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

How close in this world are our friends,
and yet we often do not know it!
The big bus rolls up to stop at Thir-
teenth and E streets.
A car stops close to the window.
In 1t are little George, and his mother,
familiarly known as Babe.
We tap on the window, we roar greet
ings, but the windows are closed in
each vehicle, and glass Is a good mufder
of noises.
The lady keeps her eyes on the road.
She will not turn round. All Army folk
drive SO.
1t is a good idea to keep your eyes on
the road, but occasionally it loses one q
friendly greeting.
Thus We are close to friends without
ever knowing it.
No doubt this is great deal more COM
mon in life than most of us think.
Perhaps the very person we pass un-
needing would be a friend we have
sought lifetime.
Who knows?
The answer to this. II there is an
answer, is to be as friendly. in intent, as
it is possible to be-
Many well-known modern PHILOSOPHERS
have been built on that ground, and have
stood the passage of time we'll.
They work.
The way to have a friend no doubt is
to be one, as some one wisely said.
The hermit instinct in many persons,
however, prevents them from widespread
going places" so that they are thrown
back more and more on their own in
Stinctive likes and dislikeS.
To buzz around in clubs and the like.
to make large number of good speak
ing acquaintance, is one way of doing it.
Yet even the greatest Joiner" knows
only a very, very small percentage of
the people in a large city.
The great bulk of those he passes every
day are and must remain unknown to
him.
1t is here that the other type of human
meets the man Of wide acquaintance ON
perfectly equal plane.
In regard to these countless persons,
who stream along our busy city thor
oughfares, most Of us know nothing.
Who are they?
Where do they live?
What do they do?
There is no answer and there never
will be any answer.
There is no reason why there should
be any, because, when it comes to prac-
tically all Of them, they are as unknown
as if they had never been seen.
They might as we'll live in London, and
the paSserby live here, as far as knowing
them, or having any real relation to
them. except as inhabitants of the same
city.
= 4
1t is only occasionally that this idea of
StrangeneSs, in regard to all these people
We see every day, comes to mind.
1t may hit one while standing on a
busy corner. waiting for a friend.
Scores of persons, hundreds of per-
sons, thousands of persons. each one
close enough to touch. yet never to be
known. any more than if they were living
in the Sahara Desert.
Evening star., 1935-10-31

1t Is solemn thought, If one is at
heart friend of man, because it means
that somebody is going to be missed.
1t is impossible to believe that out of
that many persons there would not be at
least one who would make life better for
the knowing.
That one, too, is lost forever along
with the great drift of those who could
not possibly count, from any standpoint
whatever.
John Burroughs once wrote that the
friends we seek are seeking us. 1t is a
happy way of looking at it, but as we
watch the passing crowds we wonder, at
times, if it is altogether true.
He spoke the line in poetry, of course,
and some may question whether poetry
ever can be entirely true.
The mission of poetry is not truth, or
fact. but elation of spirit.
1t is helpful, ennobling, to believe that
the friends we seek are seeking us, and
that time nor tide can keep us apart.
1t is comforting. assuring, to believe so,
to be able to recall several instances
when things seemed to work out that
way, to have the glow of Gods in his
heaven, alls right with the world"
No doubt every one passes friends he
does not see, never knows who his friends
are, in a sense, and has no way of know
ing.
In dark moments of doubt and depres-
sion, known to even the healthieSt, and
to the optimistic, it is salutary to believe
that, if only we could know them, we live
surrounded by unknown friends.
These hurrying, Scurrying folk, are
they not our friends, even if we never
know them, as We never shall?
We both lose, but are the stronger for
the knowledge, if we keep it firmly in
mind, when the need is greatest.
Out Of any cross-Section of people no
doubt there would be the same number
of loyal persons, the same number of be-
trayers, the same group of jokers and
joshers, the same percentage of those we
would like and those we would not care
for.
The mills Of the gods not only grind
slowly and exceeding fine, but their
product is uniform.
No one, by any reasonable stretch of
the imagination, can honestly believe
that if he had life to live over again it
would be any other way than it has been.
No doubt we would all be making the
same old mistakes, and doing the same
old things, eating the same meals, and
wearing the same old hat.
When we drove along the street. if we
drove along the street. we would keep our
eyes on the road, and not look around for
possible friends.
So We would miss em, and not know
any better.
Let us weary our knuckles on the thick
windows of busses no longer; let us leave
over attempting to catch bright eyes too
busy TO see US; let us go our way re-
Joicing, sure in the possession of un-
known friends.
On a bright Autumn day. with the
sun shining. and the air crisp. it is easy
to believe in ones friends, known and
unknown.

A Guest From Cathay.

A distinguished Chinese scholar and
dramatist, Shih I. Hsiung, has arrived
in New York from London to supervise
the production on the metropolitan stage
of play of which he is the author. This
is a veritable international dramatic
exchange, inasmuch as this same Mr..
Hsiung has been instrumental in making
Shakespeare known to his countrymen,
through his translation of four of the
great dramas. These four are Hamlet"

and Romeo and Juliet" He says that
it was difficult to transpose the Shake

Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
A Primrose i'm Babylon

Autumn flowers in midtown yard
Flamboyant beauty Haunting,
Scarlet and purple, blue and gold;
More colCrful than haunting.
The flaming trees shed ruSset leaves
Over the gorgeous masses.
Winds from the river hurl them on
To fibrous vines and grasses.
The multi-colored pageantry
OF scentless. gaudy flowers
Seems to suggest a dynasty
OF Babylonian powers
Amid the militant display,
All out of place and vagrant,
A wild primrose from softer cline
Blooms, delicately fragrant.

imperative. After declaring that Chan
dler will work hand in glove with Roose-
welt, she continues: "King Swope (the
Republican candidate) says if he is
elected Governor, he will be Governor
and no one else will be able to tell him
what to do" That would be unusual IN
a Governor Of g. avereign State in these
days.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

BY Way of Reform.
Where the climate is cold and the Eskimo
Goes fishing with ardor sincere.
The land meath the snow showed some
traces of gold,
The title to which was made clear.
The natives we taught to behave as they
ought
While hiding away from the storm.
We gathered the gold and the fish that
they caught,
And we did it by way of reform.
From the Pole folks will sail on favor
ing gale
To the shores where the Africans dwell.
And the glimmer Of gold eager eyes will
assail
And the same gentle story We tell.
Such burden of wealth isn't good for
the health
For natives in climates so warm.
So we shoot in the open or trap 'em by
stealth,
And it's all for the sake Of reform.

Whose charms can't forget:
A jig-saw puzzle, here and there,
Which fancy must reset.

Displays cosmetic arts

Will ease my mental whirl
And sing little song about

The attention of the Republicans
throughout the country is turning more
and more to the Governor of Kansas. ALT
M. Landon, as presidential possibility.
No one thinks of calling the Governor
Alfred" although this is his name. He
is "Alf" to his friends and to the people,
He is easy to meet and easy to talk to.
His one failing, according to the political
observers, is that he is no orator. Perhaps
he could 60 in training for speechmak-
ing during the next four or five months.
Or perhaps it would be better for him
to conduct just a Misunderstanding cam
paign. next year, with a few principal
speeches delivered at strategic points.
Anyway the hackers of Gov. Landon for
the presidential nomination insist that
he would be a drawing card in those
Western States: that it is conceivable
that, in addition to Kansas, he would
carry Nebraska and Oklahoma and pos
sibly might have chance in Missouri.
Whether the present predominance of
Land0n in the conversation about Re-
publican presidential possibilities will
continue or be short-liyed remains to be
seen. Senator Borah of Idaho was trotted
out at first and then Col. Frank Knox of
Chicago. Now it is Landon.
