Rat. Fish With Tails

The FISHING rat" found on the un-
inhabited atolls off the coast of New
Guinea, is an extraordinary animal.
writes 1. e. Taylor, Seattle, Wash, In
Golfers Weekly. AS the islands are
barren, these rats are Obliged to fish
in the sea for their food, feat which
they accomplish by dangling their pink
tails in the water from the edge OF a
flat rock. Suddenly a crab will grab
it--and that Is the and of the crab.

Three Baby Bandits

Three baby bandits ranging in age from ii 49, steal
poicemans revolver and hold up in New York
The revolver off, probably by accident and the
is killed.
Earnest students of Juvenile delinquency" can perhaps
explain why in spite Of millions of dollars spent annually
keep youngsters straight many persist in going crooked-or
worse than crooked, these three did.
The stock will be- doubt that these boys never
had chance and that if they had been brought up
some environment they would not have stolen gun and killed
anybody
Perhaps that answer is right
We to remember though young Chcagoans named
Leopold and Loeb who brought up excellent
vronmen but who nevertheless murdered of their play
mates with fiendish cruelty.
Environment apparently is not always the determining
factor in these cases.
Americans Of former days. who would not have known what
the word environment meant had quaint idea that you can't
make silk purse out of a sow's ear.
We enlightened quite that can the
inconvnient fact that crime rate the highest in the civil
lied world does not shake belief that criminals
born, but always made. o.

Killing Children

Washngtons schools with enrolment of about 10000
are closing this for the vacation That
that Just about that many children going to be turned
out to play for two three months.
If we can Judge by what has happened in past summers
lot of these youngsters instead of returning in good health
to school the fall will either be killed injured in traffic
accidents during the vacation season.
TO PUT IT PLAINLY WASHINGTONIANs ARE GOING
TO KILL OR MAIN SEVERAL SCORE OF THE CITYs
CHILDREN WHILE THE YOUNGSTERS ARE PLAYING.
Everyone who drives an automobile might give little
thought that proposition before he starts his
tomorrow morning
It isn't pleasant thought it will be better think
about it than to be among those who responsible for the
accidents.
Many of the children who being released from the
schools find accommodations for their play the
ctys Fairgrounds We haven't enough Fairgrounds. Many
Of them will take to playing in the streets the side
walks.
The children won't be thinking about automobiles They
will be engrossed in their play The safety thinking will
have to be done by the drivers it is to be done at all
The Keystone Automobile Club in recent statement puts
the matter clearly It says
Incredsed responsibility is placed upon the nOtorist
In the Uacaon While children are at
tending school they under the influence Of teachers
GUhO almost daily bring fOrcefully their attention
they Uu not hear much about safety unless take
the place of the teacher in this respect and keep the
subject fresh in their minds
MOtOrists thus should take into that young
SteTs apt to be hOughtles during the
season. They OH not be crossing streets under guild
0nce They may forget to crossings. In
OF 0ys they debate from the safety practices of
the school year.

But conceal them like a vice,

Sacrifice - suffering - Self-re-
Straint- meekneSS. resignation
patient endurance of trihula-
tion-they were the virtues Of
yesterday. They were the sour
heritage left us by the PuritanS,
and a sorry mess they made Of
human life.
They made a mess because
they fought life. They impriS-
oned life-thoSe attitudes were
really founded on fear.
They were not virtues at all
they were blights.

uprolled, dampened eye-the
painful, indrawn breath-the
clenched hand, the gnawed lip
that was the stuff in Grand

GAY COURAGE
Once upon a time Robert
Louis Stevenson made some re-
mark along this line. If ever a
man displayed Gay Courage he
did in his desperate fight with
tuberculosis. However, his re-
marks were not particularly
popular with his contempt

jured up its immediate and cr1t1-
cal importance. He told me
that for nearly 80 years this
had been his ObseSSiOn to get
the Government to arrange both
freight and passenger traffic
just as it had arranged the
postal Service-One small charge
for the long or short haul for a
given unit.
"It was past three o'clock
when I returned to my hotel,
coming out of a daze and won
dering who this man could be,
who could keep me away from
food and sleep half the night,
talking about passenger rates.
1t seemed fantastic. 1 later
came to know him well.
"He had rammed around min
ing towns in Placer and TuOlum-
ne counties and up and down
the San Joaquin Valleys since
way back in the twO-gun days,
writing two-gun editorials and
making himself master of the
whiplaSh journalism of the Cali
fOrnia hinterland of his day
lifting the hide off crooks and
exposing hOkum and skulldug-
gerry.
eff I ever knew his earlier
antecedentS, / have forgotten
them, but I do remember that
he was beautifully educated in
the classics and he could write
prose as sound in variety as
Walter Paters. In two or three
years. the Hearst newspapers
had him up in San Francisco,
writing the large calibre edi-
tOrials, and in a few years he
was in New York, diShing the
same for the Hearst chain. He
carried right along with him
his lifetime campaign for the
$1-flat passenger rate.
SENATOR HASTINGS
"He wrote books and PAM
phIets on the subject, publish
ing them himself when he could
not get them into print in any
other way. He buttOnhOIed his
friends on the street, he wrote
letters to Congressman and made
speeches.
"Then he fell in with Senator
John A. Hastings, the boy Sena-
tor from Brooklyn. Hastings
was also a self-Starter, and the
two dynamic men had much in
cOmmOn-but not for long.
Their tangle over their joint
affairs in the SinalOa mining
company Of Mexico was a whole
lot like an informal mix-up in a
Sonora county Darkroom. 1t
got into the courts and it was ,
merry brawI while it lasted.
Senator Hastings accused
Phil of having planted some
dope in his room at a hotel in
Albany as part of frame-up.
Phil, aging, but still light on his
feet, was stepping in fast. Then
Phil died in 1924, and the Sin
aIOa battle and the passenr"r
rate battle, too. were incOnclu-
sive. Now. II years later, Sena-
tor Hastings ShOveS up to the
Government the 81 rate scheme,
handsomely buttreSSed with de-
tailed statistics and arguments.
Remembering Phil. 1 feel
sure of one thing. If Senator
Hastings puts this thing over.
the battle of SinalOa and all its
unpleaSantneSs will be forgot
ten and forgiven"

1925 of which the late Dwight
w. Morrow was chairman, and
of which the able Chairman Of
the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, Representative VinSon
CD Of Georgia, was one of the
members.
This executive order enabled
Secretary Roper to kill two birds
with one stone.
BY abolishing the office Of
Assistant Secretary Of Com
merce for Aeronautics, he at
tempted to excuse" himself be-
fore the public for accepting
the resignation of Col. Clarence
M. Young, whose able ad-
ministration Secretary Roper
praised.
BY redesignating the office
and giving it the new title Of
Assistant Secretary of Com
merce, Secretary Roper was
enabled to provide a place for
a Democratic politician to whom
Postmaster Farley felt the party
was obligated. This politician
was Ewing Y. Mitchell Of Mis-
souri,, who had come to Wash
ington seeking appointment as
an ambassador.
Mr.. Mitchell felt he was en-
titled to an embassy because he
had led the fight in Missouri
for the nomination of Roosevelt
and opposed the sending of an
instructed delegation for ex-
Senator Jim" Reed to the Chi.
cago convention.
Mr.. Mitchell had no qualifica-
tions whatever for the expert
supervision of the Aeronautics
Branch. He was just a politi-
clan out of a job. But his
claims to reward had the pow
erful Endorsement of Postmaster
General Farley. So Mr.. Roper
took him on as an Assistant
Secretary of Commerce, and in
stead of assigning him exclu-
Sively to the Aeronautics Branch
gave him other duties in addi-
ton.
DISCRIMINATION
Mr.. Roper at that time an
nounced that the Aeronautics
Branch would ultimately be
headed by an expert director.
But he delayed for several
months the filling of this direc-
torShip.
Meantime Mr.. Mitchell, as
Assistant Secretary of Com
lmerce, began that disorganiza-
ton of the Aeronautics Branch
which has turned this one-time
highly respected agency in the
comparatively short space of
two years into political sham
bleS.
The summer of 1888 was a
busy one for both Mr.. Roper
and Mr.. Mitchell. Some Of the
things they did at that time to
debauch the Aeronautics Branch
must be reserved for another
day.
