The biggest japanese might raise

1t is interesting, looking at the
face of this Japanese child, to
realize that he might one day be
ruler of the whole earth, or come
nearer to it than Alexander, Genghis
Khan or any other conqueror ever
did.
New weapons have come, the
deadly airplane and poison gas, as
great a change from so-called mod
ern warfare" as the change when
powder and bullets came, replacing
bows and arrows.
Love of conquest, unlimited ambi-
tion, AUDACITY might make the
Japanese rulers of the world on
short notice. The japanese nation,
which this child will lead in years
to come, has all of those qualities.

BEAUTY AND THE BRUTE

BEAUTY AND THE BRUTE
Funny, how a man will make
all sorts Of sacrifices to provide
for his wife's future, when he
won't even sacrifice a Sunday af-
ternoon of golf in order to brighten
up her present.
The modern woman may be far
more logical than her grand
mother was-but she still expects
mans kisses to be as ardent
after the honeymoon as they were
before the wedding.
Almost any normal man would
rather have a woman admire him
than adore him, agree with him
than advise him, and amuse him
than reform him.
No matter whether a woman
talks about the high cost of Christ
mas gifts, the Ethiopian situation
or the newest scandal, after a few
years of marriage, it is all Just
argument" to her husband.
"The age Of discretion" is that,
at which a man comes to the
happy conclusion that his wife
and his private secretary are the
only important women in his life.
Matrimony may change a man
in lots of ways. But if he is a
philanderer before marriage, the
wedding ceremony will never take
the rowing look out of his eyes.
There is nothing which takes
away a mans appetite for dinner
like the corpse of a dead romance
between him and the woman
across the table.
The average husband hands
over the Christmas spending
money to his wife with all the en-
thusiasm and alacrity of small
boy giving up his lollipop to
teacher.

Bitterness is a delightful diver
sion.
There are endless possibilities
in this form of indoor sport.
You can coddle yourself deli
ciously as you think what a Dirty
Deal you've received. weep gal
Ions of tears over your sufferings
>. load yourself down with med
ais for your courage and patience.
You can also, in bitterness, find
the perfect excuse for any per-
sonal shortcomings. Why should
you, laboring under such a Fright
full Wrong, be expected to keep
your normal ehavior up to
scratch? No, indeed-after a Blow
Like This anyone should be for
given for missing a trick or two.
Or maybe pulling a few Mean
Ones. After all, you're not a saint.
And no one can blame you if you
try to get a little teeny-weenSy-
| bitty even!
Bitterness not only provides
an alibi for cuSSedneSS but offers
the worlds most perfect excuse
for cowardice. You are obviously
a Crippled Soul. Stabbed to the
heart by fouleSt treachery. Then
it's both absurd and unfair to
demand that you act as if nothing
had happened. It can't be done.
Broken Hearted People simply
can't behave like happy ones.
And as for facing a lot of new
unpleaSantneSs - doing tireSome
or risky thingS-it's brutal to
even suggest it!
THE SPOTLIGHT
And this isn't the half.
Bitterness will provide you
with that spotlight you have
long craved. You've always felt
that your life was colorless,
monotonouS-unworthy of a per.
son of your potential talents.
But here at last is an occasion
worthy of your metal.
Here is really one of the Foul
est Acts in history-an act
which puts you in the run
ming with the greatest martyrs.
Yes; maybe other folks are
too stupid or selfish to realize
this fact. but you're not. You
can spend hours and hours COM

POLITICAL PLANS

Prior to the opening of Con-
gress, former Representative Ross
Collins, a Democrat of Mississippi,
has returned to Washington ap-
parently to attend to certain func-
tions of his law office here and
cast an eye at the political
Weather-vane.
In Mississippi, there is con-
siderable discussion of the poiiti-
cal plans of the former chairman
of the Appropriations Subcommit-
tee of the House in charge OF the
War Department supply bill.
It is reported that Collins plans
to seek election to the House seat
he was forced to vacate when he
stepped into the primary race in
volving former Senator Hubert
G. Stephens and Senator Theo-
dore G.. Bilbo and was decislvely
defeated. And there apparently
are many persons who believe
Collins would win a campaign for
reelection to the House.
Others believe Collins is plan
ming to make another bid for the
Senate and run against the vet
eran chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, Senator Pat
Harrison. Harrison has som e
close friends who are of the
opinion that Collins plans to
make that move. They are also
convinced that if he attempted
this move, Collins would make
about the same showing as he
made in the Bilbo-Stephens-Col-
Inns primary.
Collins in his tenure of office
in the House earned little favor
with the majority of War Depart
ment and Army officials because
of his attacks on the present
setup of those organizations.
Collins contended he was at
tempting to "modernize" the
Army.
The Army contended he was
attempting to jeopardize it by
drastic curtailment and reduction
in officer personnel.

SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco is as modern as
today, as old as ancient China.
You pause in the streets where
heavy traffic rumbles by to gaze
out at Mt. Tamalpais beyond
the harbor with its limpid blue
water. There is so much to see
and to do, you will find that, un-
like many European cities whose
interest and charm soon pals,
our own California city will in
trigue you more each day.
Like Rome. San Francisco is
built on seven hills. 1t is thrill
ing to ride these hills on the
cable cars, and then view the bay
for miles around. Telegraph Hill
is particularly well known. On
it's sides, literally hang the houses
and gardens of San FranciSco's
Latin quarter. Writers and artists
also favor Russian Hill, and no
wonder, for the views from their
windows should give anyon
plenty of inspiration.
BY the way, if you want to re-
duce, we suggest that you walk
wherever you can in this hilly
city.
The largest man-made park in
the world is Golden Gate park
which has been transformed from
a vast waste of sand dunes into
paradise of gem-like lakes. forests
streams, waterfalls, gardens and
Fairgrounds of every description
There are dozens Of tennis
courts, baseball diamonds. bowl
ing greens, a complete children's
playground and a 30-acre stadium
Walk through the floWer-deckec
paths visiting the Conservatives
with their rare plants, the aviary
on the hilltop with birds with
dazzling plumage. many of which
ramble through the park at will
You'll go back again and again

On Wednesday next, the world will celebrate
the birthday of the most beautiful Spirit ever
born on this earth. Christmas is day of happi-
ness for children, especially, and for their
mothers Christ was first of all the defender of
children and women. "And whoso shall receiUe
one such little child in my name receiUeth me.
"But whoso shall offend one of these little
ones Which believe in me, it lUere better for
him that a milestone Were hanged about his
neck, and that he were drowned in the
depth of the sea-" ST. Matthew, 18:5:6
Christmas foreshadows "Peace on Earth and
Good Will Toward Men," and all the horrors of
war; born of the brutality of primitive men, will
not prove as strong in the end as the command
that "Ye love one another"
This picture, admirably imagined, shows in the
center the Christ child emblem of hope and faith

Yet in spite of that, Bitterness
doesn't pay. Even considered
from the purely selfish stand
point, Bitterness is a bad bargain.
For no matter how much you may
gain thereby, you lose far more.
And the harm you inflict upon
yourself far surpasseS the original
injury.
While you coddle yourself, the
busy world goes by. And sooner
or later you will awaken to the
fact that it has gone by. Not a
nice awakening to crawl
out of your ancient grudge like
some doddering old Rip Van
Wrinkle, look around for a Sympa-
thetic audience and find them all
busy with their own affairs!
Don't do it! If you've been
handed a raw deal, get mad

light to waste it crying on your

The dignified little boy in white,
marching ahead so solemnly, with
two ladies of the Imperial japanese
Court following and watching him
solicitously, is His Imperial High
ness Prince Akihito," son of the
Emperor of Japan, destined to in
herit the japanese throne.
Little Akihito, all loyal japanese
believe to be like his father, direct
descendant of the Sun-goddess. You
see him here taking his first walk
in public.
He is a dignified little person and,
with one exception, namely his
father, he is the most important
human being in the japanese world.
You wonder how far over this
earth those little feet will travel as
they grow bigger, how many of the
1,800,000,OO0 human beings will bow
in reverence before that serious face.
Western fathers and mothers that
sometimes beat their children for

Stronger Laws

The announcement by Representative Jennings Ran
dolph of West Virginia that during the coming session
of Congress he will press for enactment of stronger Grim
ina laws for the District recommended by the
mttee which investigated crime conditions will meet
with general approval.
Just as The Times predicted the destructive
recommendations of the committee, because of their
senSatiOnaLiSm, attracted all the attention Uhen
the report Was made, LUith the result that UhGt feU
constructive provisions the report contained Were
lost to UieU.
If Mr.. Randolph and those who served with him on
the investigating committee able to revive in
terest in their suggestions for strengthening the criminal
laws, the work of the committee will not have been
wasted.
Outstanding among the recommendations of the COM
mttee is that providing for a REVISION OF THE
LOCAL PAROLE SYSTEM.
Under the recommendations the function Of granting
paroles to District prisoners would go back to the Fed
era Parole Board which handled them before the recent
enactment of the bill establishing the local board.
In insisting upon this Mr. Randolph will find
considerable support among Washingtonians
1T IS NOT THAT WASHINGTONIANS WANT TO
SURRENDER ANY OF THE POWERS OF THEIR
LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUT BECAUSE THEY BE-
L1EVE THAT THE FEDERAL BOARD IS MORE
COMPLETELY EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE PA
ROLES THAT THEY WILL BACK THE PROPOSAL
Ever since the local parole board established it
has been seriously handicapped because of absolute
fusal of Congress to give enough money to perform
its job efficiently.
