dustrial depression. and economic chaos.
 The National Union for Social Justice wears no distinctive uni form, 1t carries no destructive im- plements of war. but rather It IS armed with the shield of Truth, the breastplate of justice for all. and the sword of American Democracy, and of this great cru. sading army which is composed of the rank and file of America's electorate the Reverend Charles D.. Coughlin is its outstanding leader and organizer.
 For seven years the steady beam of publicity has been focused on his work, his economic talks have reyerberated throughout the civ- ilized world, but the character and personality of Father Coughlin have remained almost a shrouded mystery. The man himself has been completely obscured by head lines.
 Even to his friends who have aided him in his sweeping cru- sade, there is something inexpll- cable about him. They arc likely 70 regard this dynamic leader as a su- per-human, a being set apart from the rest of the race, as the only person who could shake the foun. dations of Americas oldest and most sacred traditions-an ideal- ist who stopped the world on a street corner and made 1t accept his ideals as their own. But they find no explanation for a man who can absorb so much abuse. and give such unselfish devotion to a cause.
 His opponents will tell you that he is a man of iron, fighting his battles with the courage of a lion at bay, that his keen, scientific mind, which has challenged hos tile public opinion and won him victory, holds a mesmeric charm over people. The fact that they have opposed him ruthlessly does not change their respectful at- titude toward his power. But to the great multitude of American people, the men and women who fill the factories and the tene. ments, who compose the middle class section and make up the rank and file of the working class this man is the champion of the downtrodden and the exploited. They do not question how he came by his strength, or why he has chosen to fight this heartrend' ing campaign for them. The fact Is that he has done so, and ever his name is venerated.
 To Reverend Charles D. Cough lin however the social revolution that he has brought about is onl, the result of a mission assigned t
 him by Divine Providence. H' will admit his years of constan struggle to get his work recog
 nized, but he does not like thu picture that Wall Street has O him. An arch-revolutionist! I man of iron! A man preaching So
 cial Justice to them against thel will.

In New York
By PAUL HARRISON

New York.-With practically no success, Mrs Diana Belais has been campaigning against animal vivisection for more than seven- teen years. But she insists that the fight has just started.
 Mrs Belais is a middle-agcd woman with reddish, curly hair and the fire of anti-vivisection in her eyes. She also Is a vegetar- ian. Nearly all the members of her movement, at least the really ardent ones, are vegetarians. was unable to find out what the killing of food animals has to do with medical experimentation On dogs and guinea pigs, but appar- ently the connection Is quite clear to Mrs Belais.
 She Is the founder and president of the Anti-Vivisect!on Society, which is supported by people wio are worried about whether white rats are properly anesthetizcd ey scientists who are trying to solve problems which can be applied to human welfare. Want Right to Peep.
 The society sends out tons of literature replete with pictures cf unhappy dogs being carved while alive. It also sponsors anti-vivI- section legislation each year. These bills never get very far, naturally, and in the course of time they have been toned down from com- plete abolition to an "open-door" requirement. for laboratories. All she demands now is that invcs. tigators be allowed to look in on the experimenters at their work. Her office is plastered with dog pictures-happy, romping dog3. and n1iserable-looking creaturasl detained on the vivisection table. Mrs Belais lectures whenever site can find an audience, and once a year holds an Animal Hero Day. with medals for such pets as have frightened away burglars, smelled escaping gas, or aroused the fam fly while the house was on fire. The ceremonies of Animal Hero
 Day invariably provide high conn edy for the news reels.
 Although deploring the m ,re painful aspects of scientific cxperI-
 mentation, Mrs Belais and her so- ciety have not tried to do anything about the people who keep dogs,
 for fun, in hot, crowded city apart
 ments. She herself doesn't own

 sional attentions never accorded pooches of the suburbs. There Is. for example, the matter of dentis- try. t Dr William H. Dohm's patients are dogs, exclusively. "Clean as . hounds tooth" doesn't apply to
 urban hounds. They get p!orrher and decayed teeth; also broken teeth from retrieving rocks. thcro
 being few sticks in the city. The
 doctor cleans, fills, caps and ex- tracts teeth in an office that looks

Whatever happened to Waterbury's spring cleanup program? Advertised as gigantic spectacle of 800 men and youths taking to streets and highways to clean them up, so far as the general public knows it has petered out. It was fine idea, too. Let's hope that we merely have heard nothing about it, but that it has been waged assiduously and fine results attained.

The sailor crept back to the bows
and nursed his sore stomach.

sailor. "Trust me, and inside Of two
weeks you will be walking around IN

The morning of the fifth day found
both men too weakened by exhaustion
to do much more than breathe. Nan
lay under a tarpaulin in the stern,
breathing heavily. LARSEN was hyp-
Noticed by the sight, and stared with
swollen. bloodshot eyes at her from
his position in she bows.
Food, food. food" he muttered
senselessly to himself, over and over
again. The biscuits had given out,
and there remained but small
amount of water in the breakers,
brackish and stale.
The second mate was in the worst
condition of all For more than two
days and two nights he had not closed
his eyes, except for a few minutes
whenever he dared.
And now, from under painful, puffed
lids, he watched LARSEN creeping aft
again, his knife cleaning in the fierce
sunlight. Wrenching his eyes away.
Peckham suddenly discerned far ahead
faint blur upon the horizon. Land!
At the moment of success the specter
of death rode in the longboat.
DECKHAM felt he could not lift a
hand to prevent the tragedy, to
save either Mans life, which was so
important, or his own. LARSEN moved
inexorably toward them on his hands
and knees. AS he lifted his weapon
Peckham with a superhuman effort
smote him over the head with his
pistol butt.
| Four hours later the boat slid over
an opening in the outer reef into the
calm lagoon and ran upon the beach.
The mate staggered forward and
helped the now-conscious LARSEN
ashore. Returning to the boat, he
lifted Nan from the stern.
Build fire with those coco fronds,"
he directed, "and we'll have some
cooked meat to regain our strength
until we can signal a ship"
He looked fondly, appraisingly. at

sailor had undoubtedly gone mad,
Three days before. just as the sub
tropical night had closed in with
rush, the Claremore, out OF Melbourne
for the Celebes, had rammed a sub
merged derelict and sunk in matter
of minutes.
Peckham, rowing in the darkness,
had managed to pick up LARSEN from
a floating hatch cover and had found
Nan padding aimlessly in circles few
minutes later. Of the rest of the crew
he had seen no trace; the morn
ing had disclosed vast and empty
sea.
"T'M HUNGRY!" moaned LARSEN.
L His voice, in the immensity of the
ocean, sounded like the crack OF doom.

"You might throw couple OF them

dangerous.
Only this morning, driven by insist
ent hunger, he had suggested killing
Nan for food! Now Peckham dared
not close his eyes lest the insane sea-
man come aft and murder them both.
Three days without food was enough
to breed strange fancies!
He picked up the pieces of hardtack
from where the sailor had tossed them
on the footboards and offered one to
