Once Overs

You think of the misfortunes
of others as something that
you could bear very easily.
You consider those people
who carry on about their trou'
bles to be personally weak.
You have never had any very
serious trouble, but you are
sure that if you had, you could
present a better front to the
world than some of those you
might mention.
How do you know that you
could?
It is easy to say what you
would do when you are not Sc
riously afflicted, but in reality
you don't know how you would
react to misfortune or illness.
It is remarkable that more
people do not give way and
"crack up" considering the
strain and the loads they have
to bear.
To find things hopeless as
far as improvement is con-
cerned, and not be able to do
anything about it, is enough
to stand anyone up.
It takes extraordinary con-
troll to realize hopeless disaster
and not cry out against it.
None can estimate the scr.
rows of those who pass by in
the streets.
But they are not giving up
they hope for better days: thus
they gain the kind of courage
that wins out over seemingly
insurmountable odds.

asks what they have done. He
does not even care what they
have done.
He only cares for THEM
for that inner self which is so
strangely remote from the acts
of the body. He is friendly to
that inner self, respects it,
and greets it with the greeting
of a comrade.
AMAZING CHANGE
And because he does this he
releases people from fear. He
releases them from fear as the

And for a little while in the
blessedness of that relief, the
spirit stands tall and straight

It is amazing how honest and
brave people become if you re-

them breathe like free men.

desire to clutch and punish.

isn't looking. Or he unconsci.
ously glides into love, via the
deceptive detour of platonic
friendship. In either case he
goes into it blindly.
A woman, on the other hand,
usually goes into love with her
eyes wide open. She is not daz'
zled by a mans charm or beauty.
She sizes him up carefully; and
she knows just what it is about
him that makes her admire him.
She may love him against her
better judgment b u t she
knows exactly why she is going
to marry him.
But a man won't even admit
to himself that he is in love, un'
til he is so dizzy that he can't
think straight. He seldom has
the faintest idea what it is about
a girl that makes him want her
more than any other woman in
the world. He is so dazzled
that he can't size up her quail
ties. He scarcely knows what
they are-Whether she is anna
BILE or Shrewish, square-shooting
or sly, stupid or capable. Half
the time, he doesn't even know
the color of her eyes. He knows
only that his heart goes into a
tailspin every time he thinks of
her. That is why so many mar

out the reason for this secret
order the word was passed that
they might be given work with
PWA or some other Govern
ment agency if they kept their
mouths shut and did not pro-
test their dismissal.
All of these men are univer-
sity men. They have been
trained in the air forces of the
Army and Navy. They have
held responsible posts in the
Always Division since 1925.
The reason for these dismis-
sails is the same as the reason
for many previous dismissals
since the Aeronautics Branch
came under the control of the
wrecking crew that has nearly
wrecked this agency.
They were dismissed to create
jobs for the candidates of poll
ticians, whose influence in Con.
gress or elsewhere the political
racketeers in charge of the
Aeronautics Branch desired to
obtain.
Whenever in the past the
Aeronautics Branch has suf.
fered a Gripping blow and that
fact has been exposed, the
money of the American people
has been Squandered in some
publicity stunt to divert their
attention from the truth about
what is really happening in the
Aeronautics Branch.
1t will not surprise some of
the higher officials of the De-
partment of Commerce if an.
other publicity stunt of this sort
is now in the making. 1t may
be that is why the final order
of permanent dismissal which
was to have been issued on
March / has been held up.

There are three principal methods for preparing
the casein One is to add little milk or cu-
ture of Tactic acid bacteria to the skim milk. This
causes souring Or fermentation. The resulting curd
is then separated from the milk and dried.
The second Is to precpitate the casein with the
aid of acid. In the third method, rennet engine

to precipitate the casein.

Women S Riqhts
by ERNIE PYLE

WASHINGTON Nov. 29-There is never going
W to be another woman pilot on any scheduled
airline in the United States. The Government has
decided.
There has been just one so far That was Helen
Rlchey beautiful and capable young er from Pitts
ourgh, close friend of Amelia Earhart Helen CO.
plloted awhile for Central Airnes between WASH
lngton and Detroit, and it she who unwittingly
stirred up the squabble that has brought the whole
thing to head.
When Miss Richey went to work the Bureau of
Air commerce, which governs all commercial avia-
ton in the United Statesh had nothing in its rule
book by which to judge her status.
the rules say that anybody with transport or
limited commercial pilots license may fly as CO.
pilot on the airlines. Miss Richey had transport
license, so that was all that was necessary.
DUT the bureau foresaw the day when other
ID women might be wanting to fly the big air.
lnerS so 1t decided to get ruling upon which it
could judge future cases.
1t put the question of women airline pilots up to
its medical division. The airline medical examiners
thought it over.
And in their recent conference at San Antonio
they decided unanimously that women should never
be permitted to act first pilots the airlines.
And they decided, almost unanimously against
women serving airline co-pilots.
So far, this merely has the status of opinion,
but there is little doubt that it will be written into the
bureaus regulations before long And that means
there will be another woman co-plot the
airnes.
TINE airline medical examiners are a group OF
l. specialists who examine only airline pilots.
There are about 30 of them The doctors study the
pilots as we'll examine them, and the years
have built up knowledge of the mental attitude of
the pilots, and their psychology and the nervous
strain of flying.
The doctors even know when to order pilots
run changed in order to the strain by flying
him better territory through better weather.
They know when pilot has become too old, and
so on.
So out of their knowledge and experience, the
doctors have reached the opinion that women are
not physically psychologically suited for flying
regular run, day in and day out through all kinds OF
weather taking the emergencies as they come There
are times, they say when a woman shouldn't fly
at all
The bureau expects lot of squawks when it puts
this opinion into effect. Women all over the
country are going to raise cain. Womens rights,
and so on But the bureau says, it has to do what
it thinks it right, and let the squawks fall where
they may
