Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

You may be able to tell drunkard by the way
Il he acts, but there's many time when even
police have been fooled by supposedly drunk people
who really were found to be dying from a brain
hemorrhage or from urenlia
Often police find diagnosis of drunkenness more
difficult by the fact that the suspected person has
had a secondary skull fracture after falling when
drunk. But many modern police stations in large
cities are scientifically equipped to examine speCi
mems of blood and determine the amount of alcohol
in it, Thus it is possible to be quite certain whether
a person is drunk
Drinking large quantity of alcohol at one time
results chiefly in disturbance of the nervous system
The muscles do not work we'll together, the mind is
a little bit upset, and sometimes Inconsistencies
follows.
MUCH more attention has been paid to chronic
AVI alcoholism than to the acute form of drunk
Large doses of alcohol, or even small doses
taken day after day, may bring about changes in
the human body. These changes are reflected chief
ly m the nervous system but may also concern the
stomach, the kidneys and the heart
Most of the tissues Of the body show degenerative
changes result of alcoholism, the most serious
changes being those which affect the liver and result

Gods Who Die" Macmillan; So is the reninis-
cences of George Egerton Leigh Westbrook tran
scribed by Julian Dana. Westbrook shipped out of
England some 65 years ago apprentice OH a sail
ing ship deserted in Australia and headed for those
tar-fung lotus islands of the Pacific in search of adj
venture. He found it, in abundant measure.
LIE also seems to have found that the white man
l. managed to appear at his very worst in these
romantic lands.
Over and over again he records the dismal story
OF treachery, brutality and cruelty practiced by the
civilized" whites upon the dusky islanders.
The "blackbrders" came and forced whole tribes
into abject slavery. the traders came and swinded
them, the gLnboatS came and conquered them-and
the missionaries he adds too often were neither in
tellgent nor broad enough to make matters any
better
For the romance Of those starry seas had a dark
side to it; and today in many cases the islanders are
ruined morally, physically and intellectually. Mr.
Westbrook looks back wstfully the broad horizons
and the free lazy living Of his youth but he is not
deluded about what brought that delightful era to
an end. by Bruce Cation.

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ :

A QUESTION which has frequently worried SCI
L n entStS is the ability of the earth to hang on to
its atmosphere. Life, Of course depends upon that
thin blanket of air which surrounds the earth.
Surveying the solar system astronomers find that
such bodies the are absolutely devoid of
atmosphere. The diameter Of the moon is about one
fourth that Of the EARTH 2l63 miles and apparently
the moon has not been able to exercise sufficient
graVitatlonal pull to hang on to its atmosphere.
The planet Mercury. with diameter of 800 miles,
appears 10 be in the same boat.
Il THERE Is, however. another way in which a
II planet can lose at least part of its atmos-
phere, that Is through the absorption of oxygen by
the rocks in the course of the process of weatherng
Prof Henry Norris Russell of Princeton thinks it
likely that the red color of the planet Mars may
be Que TO large amounts of ferric oxide and that
the lack OF oxygen in the atmosphere of Mars may
be due to its absorption by the rocks

In Washinqton
by RODNEY BUTCHER.

NTASHINGTON, Oct. eff there were trust
w worthy figures as to the cost of making loaf
OF bread, the merits of the battle between Secretary
Wallace and the baking companies over increased
bread prices might be decided more easily
It's all very technical and complicated But bread
prices are likely to be political issue and certainly
they're causing plenty of excitement here the mo-
ment, so perhaps you'd better know the facts.
The national average price per pound of bread
was ga cents in early 1893. 1t had increased to 83
cents by July, 1884, and remained at about that fig
ure until the current boosts of to cents loaf
The original increase was considered more than
enough to cover the half cent in processing taxes
the higher costs of ingredients, and still leave three
quarters of cent for added labor costs and larger
profits.
THUS Wallace tries to laugh off the claim that the
Il latest increase is due to that favorite goat of
ood-makers, the processing tax
But he has to admit that the cost of ingredients
Hour, sugar, malt, shortening and dried milk-has
advanced in the last year.
So he says that no more than maximum of half
cent increase is justified and that general one
cent increase means S60,000,O00 or more of added
profit for bakers
What Wallace doesn't know is just how much less
IMAM nall cent OF increase is justified by higher
costs
His figures showing that the cost of flour in a
pound OF bread is 35-100ths of a cent higher and
shortening 13100ths of cent up are committed ON
old base with the assumption that bakers still use
the same proportion of hgh-grade hard wheat flour
as IN other years and the same amount and quality
of shortening.
nVER in Baltimore the most expensive kind Of
~ bread flour rose S1.20 barrel between January
and October
But the cheapest type of bread flour went up only
10 cents barrel "a barrel makes 300 pounds of
bread
The Wallace estimates were based on use of the
most expensive fours
But bakers usually use a larger percentage of the
soft wheat flour when its price is low in relation tn
price Of hard wheat 1ours

1t Is so very easy that even l. as a layman once
had the impish joy of forcing $500 100000 correc-
ton in a Hoover budget by proving it ridiculous
TO the chairman of the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Roosevelt budgets have hitherto been fearessy
fair but as Lew Douglas points out, at last we have
a 'eupnonious" one.
OF course this is the work of some Jealous hyper
bolouS and eager young estimator in the Treasury
The President has to take what they hand him. But
he himself so completely ripped the cover off this
particular political racket in his campaign speech
at Pittsburgh, that nobody really get away
with it again.
One simple and conclusive way to take the bugs
out of budgeteering would be to require publication
of every assumption and calculation on which every
particular estimate is based They are so few and
simple that the resulting figures couldn't lie no mat
ter how hard liars figure

Lore and Literature

T REMEMBER distinctly that I had long, acri-
II mOnous argument with a Communist lady two
or three years ago abots the proletarian approach
to the novel and the drama. She assured me that
in the new world plays and books would pay very
little attention to stories animated by the problem
of whom loves whom That she said, matter
of small Importance in world of ferment. Authors
worthy of their salt would be wholly intent upon
questions of deep economic import.
l argued that this nonsense and that the
story of Romeo and Juliet, its equivalent, would
remain an eternal subject FOR world literature. I
still thlnk that Romeo and his lady friend may
persist but have come to a much closer agree
ment with my young Communist friend than I had
in the beginning. l mean that when Philip Barry
writes a play about a newspaper man who has
suddenly become a proprietor through the benefit
of advantageous marriage my interest lies in
hearing what he did with the paper. What sort of
editorials did he write? What was his news policy?
How did he treat his staff? That seems to me very
much more important than any information to
how he treated his wife.
Of course the two things could be fused, but they
are wholly separate stories. In effect Mr. Barry
undertook to say that because his hero did not love
his heroine and was, on the whole rather mean 20
her, he must necessarily be fakir and traitor
to the labor movement Now, I call that silly. The
fact that a is fathless to his wife does not
necessarily prove that he is disoyal to his union

Literary Notes

Samuel H. Wainwright Jr., whose Beauty in
Japan" has just been released by Putnams was
born IN Japan. His parents missionaries and
he says 1t was his mother who introduced bibs to
that country. He lived there until he was u. He
studied under japanese artist, man who used TO
come in and do picture while young Wainwright
looked on. Then before the teacher came again,
Wainwright had to make duplicate of the picture.
One Japanese stunt ne acquired was the ability to
use two or three brushes at time water colors,
SO that he works much faster than the average
artist when he's work that requires speed.

An Annoying Wife

M OREOVER, was annoyed by the rather agrees
4VA sve virtue and righteousness Of the young wife
in the play 1 suppose it is unfair to blame Miss
Julie Hayden for this color in her performance
The part written in that way. But 1 could not
help feeling during the course of the evening That
girl is so good that somebody ought in sheer des-
peratiCn, to do wrong by her."
The trouble probably lies in the point of view
plays which seemed to me skillful. Better than
almost any other American dramatist, he has the
gift of setting down dialogue which is not only
amusing but authentic. He has a keen for the
way in which people talk. He can do the so-called
well-bred set without burlesque or eXaggeration
And yet there is in him a certain fatal priggiSh-
ness.
He fights against it, Although trained to think
of divorce always sinful, he wrote at least one
play in which the hero appauded because he
left his wife and cast his lot with another woman
who was his true and logical mate. But even in
this Mr. Barry could not avoid a certain amount
of moralizing. The complaint which he brought
through the speeches of the hero, that the wife
in question had a distinct interest in 1t seemed
to rather irCnca that should be pre-
scented leaving his bed and board in order to get
away from the bed.
The other woman, who in most plays is tradi-
tionally scarlet, this time pale and pnkiSh
person who would not make demands which might
interfere with the literary activities of the hero.
DR.. Freud and the school which he represents
have their place in the novel and in the theater
But it also of interest to know what do after
they leave home and go to the Office

newly appeared Dictator Benito
Mussolini the opportunity TO do
some fancy sword rafting and
and generally set the teeth of
Europe chattering with fright,
for fear the World War would
suddenly break aneW-this time
among the Allies.
1t was not a pleasant spectacle
not unlike group of victorious
DULLES getting ready to fight one
another over the division of the
booty
DUT economic pressure, none
~ tary difficulties, and divided
social and political councils, to-
gether with general discomfort en-
gendered by these factors, reared
their ugly heads in Germany.
Riding on the crest of the wave
of i'll feeling came Adolf Hitler.
And his shadow suddenly fell
across the Rhine and his swastika
waved enticingly toward Vienna.
Tt so startled the pickering
French and Italians that they
forgot their own controversies, to
unite and combat this new and
greater menace which threatened
the frontiers of both.
The haste with which France
and Italy fell into each others
arms was almost indecent. The
diplomats jOurneyed back and
forth between the capitals. Con-
ferences were many and pleasant.
Foreign Minister Laval and Die
tator Mussolini became bosom
pals and no one, seeing the two
together for the first time, could
ever conceive that but few short
years before their nations had
been hurting angry diplomatic
epithets at one another across the
Alps, to the accompaniment of
a duet of sword rafting and
jingoism.
Africa was the cause for this
sudden love fest.
The difficulties Italy had eX-
perienced with Tunis, which was
and is under a French protecto-
rate, although there are more
Italians there than Frenchmen,
had been ironed out.
And if anything else should
occur in Africa-say, an Italian
military expedition" to punish
Philippians for border raids-well,
of course, France could conven-
iently turn her back and pretend
not to see.
Thus the rise of Hitler brought
about many changes in the Euro
pean pictured
NEUSSOLINI played his post
1VA war cards we'll. He knew
that the time must soon come when
some new outlet in Africa had to
be provided for the teeming mil
lions of Italy's population. The
great powers we're already glutted
with territory on that continent.
Abyssinia was the logical place to
go. 1t would not be hard to create
incidents.
The French had been lined up
neatly. There was England. Eng
land was we'll aware that Italy
had to have an outlet. And the
English realized they held a ire
mendous amount of African terri
tory. The French were in the
same category.

because Austria serves the
useful purpose of providing
a buffer between herself
and the unreliable, doubtful
Adolf Hitler in Berlin.
This time, though, it is France
who is tacitly, for the present,
looking the other way, and Great
Britain now is the one to be reck-
oned with.
1t is British interests which are
threatened with the Italian con-
quest of Abyssinia, and therefore
SO long as France and England
can be kept apart, and Austria
kept antagOnistic to an anchlusS
with Germany, Mussolini feels
fairly free to proceed in Africa;
to WOO the Dark Continent.
ITO return to the pre-War years.
Il The French alienated Italian
sentiments even more by assisting
the EthiopianS at Adowa in 1896.
The gulf between the two groups
in Europe grew wider. Germany
became more powerful and did her
best to hamper the building of the
French colonial empire, concoct-
ing one incident after another.
Finally, fanatic put q bullet
into the Archduke Ferdinand of
Austria-and the blood spurted to
engulf all Europe, and many
parts of the world for five CORY,
horrible years.
The trenches which spanned
their Jagged pattern across north
ern France; the gallant colonial
troops of the British empire who
went to unnecessary deaths in one
of the greatest blunders of the
World War, Gallipoli; the rows of
little white crosses which mark in
Flanders Field the eternal resting
place Of doughboys from the
United States, had their origin in
the pickering of the great pow
ers over the spoilS of Africa.
When the war actually began,
The Triple Entente blew up. It's
very illegitimacy couldn't stand
the test.
Italy would have been destroyed
by France and Britain had she
been on the Teutonic side in the
World War.
So she switched over to the
Allied side and waged war against
her bedfelloWs of the night be-
fore, not because she liked the
Allies, but for what she calculated
she could get out of them.
XXTAR ended. Victorious ma
w tions began chopping up
erstwhile enemies. Italy got her
slices-but in amongst her share
of the booty was not mile, nor
even a yard, which looked or
Smelled like Africa.
And so the old arguments and
chickering's began all over again.
1t was not many years after the
war closed that France and Italy
were snarling viciously at each
other over Africa.
A virulent and violent young
newspaper editor suddenly
slammed down his copy pencil in
Milan, bounced into Rome at
the head of a band of youthful
hotheads, and proceeded to an
nounce he was the kingpin in
Italy from then on.
And the African argument be-
tween France and Italy offered
