Selected Poem
AUTUMN NIGHTFALL
co. Davis Brown in the Poets Corner,
 Hartford Times)

Night approaches With dark robes trailing in dew! The river is hidden in shadow, The valley-road has vanished. And I am slowly engulfed in darkness As stand under the pines At the rim of the day.
 gray, Beneath the rustic of dark pine- branches, I see the aureate light melt Into silver gray, then to purple Now a lone, cold star Faintly pierces the western sky. As the autumn moon Rolls majestically up the reaches of the

Maybe He Didn't Mean It

It is impossible to know from the news story just what pr. Cadman said preliminary to nak- ing the statement quoted. But if it stands by itself 1t is the perfect re-iteration of the buncombe about the mental and moral su- periority of the blue-eyed, fair- haired races over all tohers which the world swallowed so eagerly before the Great War. I was url- der the impression that reason- ing people had laughed that the- ory to death years past. By ir1- ference at least and in comparison Dr. Cadman would have us be- lieve that the nations of the South are dirty, mentally dis eased, and war loving and that Great Britain from motives of pure humanitarianism has pre- served the League of Nations. There is not space sufficient to treat at length all this nonsense. Whether the League has been saved remains to be seen. It is certain that Bolshevist Russia would deny that peace has any greater or more steadfast friend than itself. It is also certain that in the Great War the "clean, healthy minded Northern States" made their neutrality pay huge dividends. In the meantime it is salutary to remember that Great Britain remained altogether tirl- concerned while Japan was raping Manchuria and only stirred unto action when the Italiari-Ethio- plan conflict threatened to de- stroy the European concert.

Not Worth It

If Dr. Cadman has any illusions about the unselfshness of Great Britain in the adjustment of cur- rent international difficulties they are not shared by all King Georges subjects. Not long ago was discussing the war in Ethio- pia with an Englishman who for almost half a century has been a magistrate in one of the great i1- dustrial and commercial cities. He was a very wise old man and Q shrewd, if somewhat cynical ob- server of events.
 "What is all this row about the riches of Ethiopia" he grumbled. T don't see why Miissolini wants to bother with it at all. He ought to know if there was anything in the

Only A Nod

pr. Cadman would laugh as heartily at all this nonsense as any other sensible man. But the idea back of his statement about the clean, healthy minded states of the North" is the starting point of 1t all. Herr Gaugh's folly is merely the logical elaboration of 1t. Doubtless the good doctor of divinity like everyone else who writes a great deal and talks e lot has the occasional right to say more than he really means. Like Homer, he may nod now and then. But if pr. Cadmail wishes to avoid silly utterances like the one I have quoted he might read with profit what another clergy man has written about Nordic nonsense. His name Is John H. Toonley, S.J. and the article, ''Nazi Moonshine" is to be found in America, issue of October 1a, 1885.

How We Are Different

What appears above are only generalities. It remained for a big-shot Nordic anthropologist. Herman Gauch, to go into the gory details. He analyses the dif- ference between Nordic and non- Nordic nostrils, the sockets of the eyleballs, and the whorls of the ears. Morales are reticent of speech while other races are gar. rulous. Non-Nordics have either g long upper lip, "or like most animals" a very short one. Non- Morales do not know how to walk, their gait is either cow-like or they waddle like ducks. Liver spots, birth marks, and similar growths are always Q non-Nordic sign. Freckles and red hair are evidence of the conflict between Nordic and non-Nordic skin pig ment. If these statements seem to be made up out of whole cloth by me 1t should be known that
 they are exact paraphrases of Herr Gauch's scientific" findings.

The prize discovery of the ar- thropologist however does not be- long to the physiological depart ment but to the gustatory one. If you want to find out whether your friends are Morales or sub. human, which is the synonym in the Nordic dictionary for anyone or anything -Nordic, you don't have to look for liver spots, long upper lips, freckles. nor red hair. All you have to do is watch the way they eat. For, declares Herr Gaugh:
 "The Nordic chews his food with the mouth closed, by a grinding movement of the jaws, whereas other races tend to chew with a smacking noise like animals, owing to the pressing movement of the jaws and the repeated opening of mouth"
 In other words licking the chops is a sure proof that you are a Iaon-Nordic and therefore belong to the irrational animal kingdonl.

Like most transplanted British CTS his admiration for England and the English way of doing things increased approximately with the distance from home. It was never offensive but it was ever unmistakable. Until this week never thought of him as a believer in the Nordic myth. In a recent address here he is quoted as saying:-
 Against these states (Russia, Germany, and Italy) are the clean, healthy minded nations of the North. The peoples of the Scandinavian countries and the lowland states are stand- ing against war. Great Britain has saved the League of Na- tions which would have per- ished had its fate been left to France"

Arctic Not Altogether
Region of Barrenness

The Arctic may have heavy snows
and bitter cold for eight or nine
months of the year, but during the
remainder of the twelve months
flowers bloom, meadows appear, and
even vegetables grow, writes James
Montagnes in the Scientific Ameri-
can.
Flowers have been found growing
within 400 miles of the North pole
by investigators who travelled to the
tip of Ellesmere island, the last big
Arctic island before reaching the
pole. There these ~botanists found
hundreds of varieties of flowers,
MOSES. lichens, and similar plants.
At the settlements, where the long
Arctic day averages upward of eight
cen hours daily during the summer
months, 1t Is possible to grow a large
assortment of vegetables. including
potatoes. ~cauiiflOwer, cabbage, toma-
toes, radishes, onions, carrots, beets,
lettuce, and %cucumbers. In a region
where canned food, dried meat. and
fish form the staples, these fresh
vegetables prove an attraction On
the MENU. Even wheat has been
grown, and experiments are be-
Ing carried on TO find a faster ma
turing wheat for that region.
