A Timely Suggestion
By James T. Williams, F.

las many appointments as the
Postmaster General has and be
chairman of a political party.
Particularly is that true when
the men whose appointments he
controls have nothing to do in
their official capacities with poll
tics.
What ought to be a great gov
eminent business inStitution-the
Post Office OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
contain no politics in the job get
ting sense"
But Senator Norris did not con.
tent himself with making a pub
lie appeal to the Administration to
rid itself of the liability imposed
by Mr.. Farley's attempt to ad-
minister the Postal Service in the
public interest while running the
affairs of the Democratic Ne
tional Committee and the Demo
cratic State Committee of New
York as a political partisan.
UNLIKELY EVENT
Early this year Senator Norris
introduced a bill in the Senate the
enactment of which would have
compelled the Administration to
do what it lacked the wisdom to
do upon it's own initiative.
The Norris bill which was pend
ing when Congress adjourned last
summer provides:
First. That no postmaster or
other official of the Post Office
Department, including the Post
master General himself, shall be
chairman or a member of any
political committee, and that he
shall not take part in the manage
ment of any political campaign.
Second. That the Postmaster
General shall be directed ito re-
move any official guilty of such
practice, and the President is di-
rected to remove the Postmaster
General if he engages in any such
political activity.
In the unlikely event that Sen.
ator Norris should be appointed to
succeed Mr.. Farley as Postmaster
General, the reforms for which
the Norris bill provides would be-
come effective without legislation.
All those who know Senator
Norris know that he could be re.
lied upon to put them in effect at
the price of remaining in the
Cabinet.

COOKING LORE

the housewives plea to take then
out of the kitchen.
In New York, with the aid OF
the WPA, a class has been started
for the avowed purpose of teach
ing men how to cook flapjacks
and other features of the culi-
nary art.
Instead of teaching the mem
bers of the class how to pre-
pare dainty feminine dishes, how

lswimming like Gertrude Ederle
swimming the channel, and keep
right on going until they sink. The
whole outfit is drowned after in
flicting on Scandinavia something
approaching indiscriminate devas-
tation.
The big-wigs of science get their
heads together and ponder animal
migration, but they can't make
much out Of it-at least, within
the zone of reason or explainable
causes. 1t is clear that a food
Shortage-and some migrations
are explained by this, may make
a big trek seem reasonable, but
quite often the migration looks
like the doings of Clark and Nc
Cullough at their coolest.

The Human Side of the News = By Edwi
By Edwin C. Hill

The simple explanation of food
shortage and a move to better
supply doesn't hold in squirrel
ology, or whatever il is the Scien-
fists call their studies Of these
merry and miSchievous little
creatures. Sometimes they will
leave nice pickings and swarm to
others not nearly so good.
Another strange thing about
them is that their rate of popula-
ton growth is apt to increase
when the nut crop is a failure
and there is har, times in squir-
reldom.
Not any more irrational than
our own increase of births among
persons on relief, but still
strange circumstance. And, speak
ing of squirrel families, did you
ever see a baby squirrel? I never
did and can't find anyone else
who did. Persons who know their
natural history tell me that the
squirrel is unique among animals
in prolonging the period of post
natal developme nt-that the
youngsters are kept warm and
protected and studiouSly edu-
Gated until they are virtually
grown. Not so in the human
slums which killed the ancient
squirrel forests.
ANCIENT MYTHS
DR.. w. Reid Blair, of the
Bronx Geological Park, explodes
some ancient myths about SOUR
rels. For instance, their thrift
is greatly exaggerated. When
you give a park squirrel a nut,
and he burieS it, he doesn't
come back and get it. The pub
lie always has supposed that the
tons of peanuts it toSseS to the
squirrels went right into their
savings account. Not so, says DR..
Blair. They just obey an in
stinct and then forget all about
the buried nut. So there seems
to be a lot of waste and over
head in squirrel economics as
well as our own.
On the whole we seem to be
about even in collective folly. Any
piece of foolishneSs il either tribe
can be matched with something
irrational in the other. But,
hope that the debunking craze
will not Seep down to the animal
kingdom when it finishes with
our statesmen and philosophers.
They tell us now that there's
nothing to this story about the
bees being industrious and that
really he is quite a loafer: and
that the ant really isn't the
sociologiSt he's cracked up to be.
Let it rest there.
One likes to think of latent
wisdom in the ordering OF life
which some day will flower into
sanity even in biped doings. I
told a neighbor I was going to
write something about squirrels
and he asked me to put in a word
not too harsh-against the red
squirrels. They stole all his black
walnuts and started bowling
alley in his attic, keeping him
awake nights, and no abatement
proceedings can be found to ap-
ply. The district is Zoned, too.

countries, it was expected that
future agreements would reflect
the Hull teachings.
He has been an advocate of low
tariffs throughout his entire po-
litical career. He has been termed
a free trader and is known to
favor restrictions of the lowest
possible type.
This Canadian treaty which has
stirred the clamor of agricultur-
lists. livestock men, lumbermen, as
well as others, is considered to be
one of many which Mr.. Hull will
advocate.

Will Fight for Policy Of
Protecting Borders, Not

By RALPH HEINZEN
CopYriRht 1895 by United Press

PARIS, Oct. 20. (UP).-F'rance
will launch a campaign at the
London naval conference in De-
cember for navies that protect
borders but do not strain national
budgets, a high naval authority
informed the United Press yester-
day.
The cabinet unofficially has
agreed to accept the British invi-
tation' to five-power meeting De-
cember 2 and naval experts have
been put to work on a French pro-
gram which shapes up along these
lines:
l.. Oppose oppression of sub
marines.
2. Reduce maximum tonnage of
big ships.
3. Reduce maximum calibre of
big guys.
4. Make navies easier on sore
ly tried budgets by limiting the
size of Individual ships and total
tonnage.
5. Avoid in the December con-
ference any discussion of 1talo-
French or unprecedented States
naval parity proposals due to in,
ternational tension because of the
Italo- Ethiopian war.
France wants the December
meeting to be purely preparatory
for another more important and
detailed conference early neXt
year. The Washington treaty
which puts France and Italy or
the short end of a 5-5-3-1 81
ratio, expires December 81, 1885
Frances position is vastly dill
ferent from what it was at Wash
ington in 1921. Then the Work
war had Just ended, with France
among the, allies. Now France
relations with her former allie
are less secure. The Mediterran
can has become the focal point II
