A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

TINE soul of every American mother must cringe
l. with shame at the thought of Anne Lindbergh
flying the country for her sons protection And no
criticism of the hasty departure soften the hard
facts decency IN the United States is definitely on
the run before greed.
To add poignancy to the occasion, the flight is
made lat Christmas time. when all babies should be
safe and happy in their homes That little Jon Lind
bergh is safe in his home is the most terrible
Indictment the American people ever have faced,
Well let's face it. What does it mean when a
fine young couple, representing the best of cul
ture. who have brought only honor to their native
land should be afraid to live within it?
1t means simply this: That integrity is at low
ebb not only in the underworld, but in high places
Have we sold ourselves down the river for gold?
Crime could certainly never have obtained such
footing in the American cellar if good deal of it
not practiced and condoned in the parlor. That
such was the case history already has made clear to
When political leaders do not keep faith with
their people but use their Offices for personal ag-
grandizement or the accumulation of private for
tunes when business ignores the fact that many of
its moguls loot and piage, cheat and plumber; when
a mans bond becomes as vaueless as his word if
he sneak out of it under the law and when
wealth is considered honorable even though it be
made by dishonorable demonstrating, gambling
and lying: when the prominent forget their respon-
sibilities and ready to sell their names and in
fuence for cash. then is that the underworld feels
justified in its activities
country which is unsafe for the Lindberghs is
not safe for any mothers SON. Can parents afford
then to ignore such significant event as this flight?
Isn't it time to clean up national corruption by sub
shutting spiritual incentives for the many material
ones we have given children? To worship God is
not quite enough, my friends; We must also cease
the worship OF mammon,

TO THE FIREMEN

ZERO weather and business-district fire in South
%Bend sent IS fremen to the of doctors,
either in homes or hospitals.
Seeing firemen sitting around stations, playing
cards or working on toys for underprivieged chill
dren one may get the impression that they have an
easy life.
But let a day come when fire is discovered, in
home or business building, and the true value of
these men is appreciated,
Reports from South Bend tell of actual herosm
of the firemen in trying to confine the fire to the
building in which it broke out. They we're success
full, but many we're badly injured and may die.
In city service nobody can exceed the fireman in
giving all that he has.

Gangsterism is feeling the hard hand of the law in
most cities. But the highways and streets continue
to be turned into shambles Last year $4,000 persons
killed by automobiles.
An aroused public opinion can mitigate this
carnage. President Roosevelt has appointed
mittee under Secretary of Commerce Roper and
Senator A. Harry Moore of New Jersey to make
national study the interest of safer streets and
highways
The Readers Digest has circulated millions of its
starky realistic picture of the situation. And Sud-
den Death" and in its January issue will show how
some cities have cut their auto death rates by in
teligent regulations and strict enforcement.
Milwaukee for instance, has done this to such an
extent that if the entire nation had worked as
efficiently 2280O people killed last year would be alive
today.
Let us" says President Roosevelt in message
to the Digest but work to make the New Year safer
and it will be safer. Pledging ourselves, and our
families to avoid carelessnes dscourtesy and reck-
lessness on our highways, put stop to
thousands of sudden deaths"

GIVES ANSWER IN DEBATE
ON ETHIOPIAN WAR

BY G. E. White, Bloomington
l answer Mr.. William B. SchOen-
rogg in about the same way Father
Coughlin did when he replied to the
Kansas man who called the priest a
Swellhead and then accused him of
swatting the New Deal and Roose-
welt and working for Hoover. Father
Coughlin read the letter and re-
piled, The man from Kansas
doesn't know what I am talking
about. The New Deal is much bet
ter than the old deal, but we want
something better than either"
My reply to Mr. Schoenrogg is
that he wasted much ink in writing
down the names of all of John Bulls
children because the issue that l
took with the priest in my article
was not in regard to land grabbing
during the last three centuries, but
whether England like Japan, had
been guilty of land grabbing since

I took issue with Mr. Coughlin as
to whether the invasion of Afghan
istan in 1925 was for the purpose of
conquest and I showed in my article
that it was not. Had the purpose
been conquest, the priests state
ment would be severe indictment
Of England. What I said in my ar
ticle about colonization in America
was to show it was different in type
to that of the conquest of a civilized
kingdom.

BY GEANE ALLEN

Barbara Davis stood erect and naughty at the entrance to the Biltmore dining room. With quick sweep her eyes noted the occupants. Satisfied that she recognized no one, she nodded to the head waiter. "I wish table in a direct line with the entrance" she instructed him.
 Certainly, madame" the waiter said. Barbara moved to her seat not unaware of the admiring gIanc- es which followed her. Seated, she pretended to study the menu, but her dark eyes constantly sought the doorway expectantly.' At 10 o'clock that morning life had seemed sweet and filled with joy. And just a few minutes later Jane, her "best friend" had tele- phoned, and all happiness had left her.
 Barbara" Jane said, T must tell you about this! I just saw George Hill in the Grand Central posing before news camera with a platinum blonde weighed down with orchids and most artistically rouged. I thought you-'
 Somehow she had answered Jane lightly. Only the evening before the man she loved and intended to marry had begged off from a luncheon engagement with her on the plea of pressing appoint ment, and like a simpleton she had believed him. He had seemed so distressed at missing an appoint ment with her!
 There was a sudden murmur of voices in the dining room. Look ing up quickly, Barbara saw, posed in the doorway, dainty feminine figure, dressed in Quaker gray, standing there shyly demure-and behind her loomed the tall and ath- letic George Hill. So! It was true, then.
 Barbara saw at glance that this creature with George must easily be 30--if not more. That gave her some satisfaction.
 Barbara was in a mood for &C., tion. She quickly paid her bill and walked deliberately over to the table where the two were seated.
 Hello, George" Her voice sound ed so cool and silvery. George famed red to the roots of his hair as he stumbled to his feet.
 "Why-why, Barbara, this is a surprise" he stammered in confu- sion.
 Please make me acquainted with your friend" Barbara demanded.

"How strange, George, that you l never told me about Miss Muster, since you are such old friends" "Oh, George and I haven't seen each other for a long time. My work keeps me in Hollywood, 50 can't see him as much as should like to-" She looked at the young ! man fondly.
 Barbara was burning with re- l sentful anger, but she only asked. "Then you are an actress? Tn the 1 pictures?"
 Before Adrienne could reply, a waiter approached to report a tele- phine message for Miss Kuster. With a little exclamation she has, tened away.
 Barbara" George began as soon as they were alone, please don't be angry with mel" I Angry? I'm not angry, I'm just bitterly disappointed in you. Why did you die to me when you said you could not lunch with me to- day?"
 For a time George was speech less. Then-"I had to give you some excuse, dear-any excuse. | Adrienne wired melt was urgent that should see her"
 "So, the moment Adrienne wires you, I become secondary--is that it? Just what is this Adriense to your" she demanded.

 "very well, then-I shall not press the matter. But from now on, please consider our engagement at an end"
 them, all excitement.
 "Oh, I've had grand news" she exclaimed. "The Lepages have re- newed my contract for another. Iyear! Oh, Miss Davis, you're not going?" She put her arm fTn- petuously around Barbara.
 But Barbara deliberately extri- cated herself from the embrace and stepped a little apart from the oth- CT two.
 "Tll just leave you with George to celebrate your good luck" she said sweetly. "You seem to mean . great deal. more to him at the mo- ment than do."
 Adrienne spoke quickly. "You two have been quarreling?" She looked anxiously from one to the other. "Oh, what is it?"
 George answered her. "You know what it's about" he exclaimed, with a meaning look at Adrienne. "And what's more, if you do not tell her yourself I'm going to-" he added emphatically.
 Adrienne," George was saying in his earnest way, you need never have any fear about Adrienne--- never. She is-"
 Adrienne interrupted with a lit- tie cry. "Oh, George! Pleasel You promised-" But George was not to be stopped. Barbara" he went on, "you will always be first with me in my life. Adrienne - weils |.Adrienne is only-my mother!"
 "Your what?" asked Barbara faintly.
 "Yes," Adrienne put in hesitant- ly, 'T am his mother. But my car- ger, my work, demands that must always seem young, glamorous--I couldn't let the world know of my Ihuge soni" With tremulous smile she took Georges hand.
 "Oh, George" Barbara whiS- pered. ''why did you not tell me this long ago?"
