1t is true that there have been
instances in my life when it APP
peared that euthanaSia, or even
more violent means, would be
preferable to the continued suffer-
ing of an unfortunate victim OF
disease or accident.
But upon further elaboration 1t
was brought home to ne with
startling vividness that the
thoughts and desires of the mo-
ment were extremely impulsive
and resulted only from tempo
rary emotional instability within
myself.
TN MY opinion it is quite pos
Il sible that the desire to permit
and practice legal euthanasia is
aroused in many individuals pure
ly for reasons resulting from a
spirit of selfshness.
Particularly is this true in the
case of persons who can not adapt
themselves to long years Of service
in the ministering and nursing of
one who may be absolutely in
capacitated as a result Of injury
or disease.
Such callous individuals can not
appreciate the happiness that is
derived from such an unselfish
service. They will never expert
ence that eXaltation of spirit that
comes from a service that may
have brought comfort and peace
to a sufferer.
In our troubled social world of
today it would be we'll to inculcate
a spirit of service and helpfulneSS
rather than harden and make cal
lous our minds and attitudes to
the sufferings of those who are
less fortunate than ourselves.

malignant and incurable diseases.
A profession of such honor and
standing will never admit that
any obstacle is or will remain i'm
possible to overcome.
The advancement of science has
in the past found means to over
come many obstacles heretofore
considered hopeless.
We must ever bear in mind that
we have been adjured by High
er Power than ourselves to save
life and not to destroy it. In
keeping with this precept, and
with any other course of logical
reasoning, it is my opinion that
legal euthanaSia must never be
permitted.

CURELY at present this great

ability to meet the adverse con-
ditions that prompt certain practi-
TONERS to favor the adoption Of
legal euthanasia. One can hardly
imagine the spirits of the great
medical pioneers of the nineteenth
century condoning such a course.
If medical experts of today

Lotus Restaurant

The ever popular Lotus Restau-
rant, Fourteenth and New York
Avenue, is even more popular
these hot summer days and nights,
for their gigantic air-cooling sys-
tenn keeps the temperature even
and comfortable at all times. Gay,
frivolous floor shows divert the
tired business men and women
while they dine. These floor shows
are presented three times daily:
Luncheon, dinner and supper.
There is dancing to Bill Strickland
and his Capitolians. Al Norton,
master of ceremonies at the Lotus,
introduces an entirely new bill this
week: Jim REGARD and the Carson
sisters have clever act of rhythm
dancing and musical comedy; De
Serio and Regar, ballroom and
adagio team, are truly sensational.
A marvellous little actress, we are
sure you will enjoy, is Shirley
Dunn. who does acrobatic and
control dancing. Keep cool and
enjoy yourself at the same time
by dining and dancing these sum-
mer days at the Lotus Restaurant.

expanse of tables, the large round
dance floor, music by Maxim
Loves orchestra, with Barnes di-
recting, and complete floor show

distinctly pleasing style. They will
be remembered for their part in
AL Jolson's Wonder Bar, the origi'
nal revue.
Marta Kay stars in novelty toe
dances and has one unusual and
original number, in which she
dances the various periods" of
dancing, from the minuet to the
modern toe dance. Her costume,
by the pulling of ribbon straps,
is transformed during the dance
to conform with her steps.
Also in the Shoreham floor
show are Paul and Petit, clever
Danish dancers, in hand-balancing
and pole-jumping numbers.
The Shoreham's Lounge Cafe
has an open" bar, and music
