Crater Versus Manville.

m TORN between temptations,
L I'd like to follow the search now
on again for Judge Crater, who has
been mysteriously missing all these
years except for the two or three
hundred times when somebody said
he'd been seen. On the other hand,
Tommy Manville, the husband of
his country, is reported as having
fresh woman trouble back east
this time of a blonde nature.
Still, can always prowl the des-
erts, looking for the judge. Out here,
we hunt him at regular intervals.
He's different from the Liberty
League. 1t disappeared just as sud-
denly as he did, but stayed that
way.

California Rivers.

I rs fun to cross a river with at
L least a trace of wetness in it. 1t
must be my early raising, but I
like river to be dampish-in spots,
anyhow.
After two years I can't get used
to southern California rivers, where,
for nine months a year, the only
craft you can navigate is stone
boat, and unless they use a sprink-
ling system you can't see where
you're going, and they deepen the
channel by blasting and not by
dredging, and you come back from
an aquatic trip full of hayfever dust.
They do say the fish have to learn to
swim all over again every fall, and
down between the steep banks the
poor little frogs suffer terribly from
sunburn. It's great country for
Holy Rollers but hard on Baptists.

to prevent all mention of what portion

does it seek to prevent misrepresenta-

Mental Hay Fever.

DIR. Wallace Marshall, a psychiatrist
practicing at Appleton, Wis, has an
nounced his discovery Of the fact that
the human mind is chronically subject
to mental hay fever. He argues with
convincing logic that the brain and the
nervous system may be irritated by the
impact of objectionable ideas just as the
membranes of the nose and the throat
may be irritated by pollen or dust. Some
persons are supersensitive, downright
allergic, to invading conceptions. For
example, the philosopher Erasmus dis.
liked fish and felt strongly enough about
them to write of his aversion.
Similarly, George Washington COM
planned against well-meaning admirers
who desired him to establish q monarchy,
John Adams detested Calvinists, Thomas
jefferson entertained q hostile fixation
concerning people who dwelt in towns
and earned their daily bread, by indus

STARS, MEN AND ATOMS
Notebook of Science Progress i'm Field.
Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Bringing back to earth an extinct ami
mal-the ancestor Of the cows the
remarkable task to which two German
biologists have set themselves.
They are DR.. Lutz Heck, director of
the Berlin Zoo, and his brother, director
OF the Munich Zoo. The animal is the
ur. or aurochs. of ancient Europe, from
which, it Is believed. all present races
of domestic cattle were derived. The ur
became extinct about 300 years ago. 1t
formerly was very abundant throughout
Central Europe and in the days of the
cave dwellers was hunted with spears.
They painted pictures of 1t on their cave
walls and later biologists preserved
rather minute details of its character
iStics.
Now domestic cattle have gone far
from their wild ancestors, but. fortu-
nately for the plan of the Heck brothers,
to different degrees and in different
directions. One breed has gone long
way from the aurochs in one or more
characteristics while remaining almost
true to the original form in others. The
scheme Is scientifically to interbreed
cattle with the object of breeding out
the qualities and variations introduced
by man so that eventually creatures will
be obtained which cannot be diStin-
guished from the wild animals.
In Southwest Europe, where cattle
have been bred for fighting. the zoolo-
giSts find the aurochS characteristics
best preserved, especially in three breeds.
the Spanish fighting bulls, small group
of Southern France, and the wild cattle
of the Island of Corsica. 1t is to these
three that they now are devoting their
chief attention although 1t will eventu-
ally be necessary to obtain crosses with
animals of Northern Europe who have
retained still other aurochs features.
The whole program is expected to re-
quire many generations.
The fighting cattle of South France
bear q strong resemblance to the extinct
aurochs. Their home Is in the Rhone
delta and particularly the Island OF
Camargue, situated between the two
principal branches Of the Rhone. These
cattle are relatively small, but speedy
and active. They are used principally
for bloodless bull fights, which are held
in all cities and villages Of Provence. In
color they generally are black and IN
Winter they have long coats OF hair.
They have well-formed horns bending
first to the side and then straight for
ward, similar to all ancient pictures OF
the aurochs. These cattle are bred to
preserve their primitive wildness and
have few, If any, of the traits Of domes-
tic cattle. There are five principal herds
Of these cattle, comprising between $50
and 900 head. They live unprotected
Winter and Summer Several now have
been introduced into 10.000-acre nature
preserve.
Many Spanish domestic cattle bear q
marked resemblance to the aurochs
which formerly lived on the Spanish
peninsula, as attested by the numerous
drawings Of them on the walls Of caves.
Perhaps the ancestral traits are best
preserve in the Spanish fighting bulls.
Between 5000 and 10000 Of them are re-
uuired annually. They live In open
meadows. as did the s2ochs.

Good Neighbor League Not
of Potential Political Import
To the EDITOR Of The star:

To the Editor OF The Star: ~
Perhaps for the first time In presi-
Dental campaign the electorate is being
systematically dissolved into groups and
classes, to which as such politicians ap-
peals are fragrant and authoritative and
have constrained some expert political
commentators to indulge In romancing
on the Negro vote" in newspapers. In
cidentally. Mr.. David Lawrence, fact
reporter" as yet Is mot guilty"
OF course, there Is no occasion to
take umbrage at your editorial Of Sep
tember 4. 1t very clearly commented
on what actually goes on, especially in
and within-the sphere OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee, stresses par
ticularly the activities of Stanley Highs
Good Neighbor League" on the Roose-
yelt front among the Negro vote" and
notes active association Of two Negro
leaders s'-Methodis bishop and Har-
lem Baptist preacher-with the move-
ment. However, In 1892 the Republican
high command placed the Baptist
preachers name on the ballot for a
Hoover presidential elector In New York
State-"that1l fetch the Negro VOTE"
they jubilantly claimed. It didn't; and,
CfCIl do tLlC oAiAduy SCllOOA tAili0l Ga hAAOW,
couldn't. The Methodist was only re-
Gently elevated to the bishopric Of his
communion, assigned to the South
African field. He is being harshly criti-
cized within his own church circles for
not proceeding forthwith to his assigned
neighborhood in Gods vineyard. Asso-
ciation of the colored clergymen with
the Good Neighbor League Is, therefore,
Of no potential political moment. Max
ing folks neighbors is sociological, not
a political. process.
The position taken by the protagonists
Of the Negro vote" is unSound of prem
ise and presuppoSes first, that all colored
individuals are Of one mass or race group
in every respect and particular, and,
second, that most OF them have been
thrown out of productive employment by
the depression and are now either on
relief or in good-paying places in the
Federal set-up by grace of the President.
Most Negroes have not been thrown out
OF work. are not on relief, do not hold
jobs in Government service and are not
in bad shape-that is, in the States where
colored voting persons live. On the con-
trary, most of them have remained
steadily at work, are continual payers of
indirect taxes, wherewithal source Of

Those Who Enjoy Benefits
Of Flag Should Honor 1t

To the Editor Of The Star:
Regarding the Oxon Hin School mat
ter we wish to remark the Ludke chill
dren are apparently given all the ad-
yantages Of the other children in the
school and elsewhere.
Besides saluting the nag, there are
other rules and regulations. Might these
also be deemed sacrilegious because not
directed especially by the Supreme being.
Other children are required to obey
school rules, why discriminate in favor
of those of alien parentage, and thus
invite antagonism and favor rebellious
attitude merely to crafty gestures Of
stubborn fanaticism.
"Jehovah's Witnesses" are lucky to be
in the grand old U. s. A. instead Of Ger
tain sections of Europe where religious
tolerance Is not allowed
We admit that religious freedom" Is
eminently just, but SO is patriotism; they
should not conflict.
We deem 1t very unwise as well as
unfair to attempt to warp the judgment
of the State Board Of Education, thus
inviting more foreign fanatical propa-
ganda. a.
People who live under the protection
Of Old Glory and accept American dol
lars for holding an Americans job in
the Government ought to display some
respect and regard for our nag.

The Corsican Is not primarily a fight
ing breed of cattle, but is semi -domesti-
Gated. 1t is used for draft, meat and
milk, and is of medium size. Generally
Of deep black color, its horns are not
as long as those of the aurochs, and it Is
slower of movement than either the
French or Spanish fighting cattle. A
curious fact about these Corsican cattle
is that the calves are born red and
change to black in four or five months.
They are long-haired in Winter-another
aurochS trait.
"All in ALL" says the report to the
American Society of Mammalogists,
there can be no doubt as to the advan-
tages of cross-breeding between Iberian.
South French and Corsican cattle for
the purpose of eventually breeding back
to the aurochs. In color, shape. position
OF the horns, even in trend of intelli-
gence, the Spanish fighting bulls are
entirely OF the aurochs type The South
France fighting bull is like the aurochs
in shape, horns and many other charac-
terlsticS, but the color, almost universally
black, does not agree. The Corsican race
has retained the aurochs color and many
OF its traits of character, but the horns
are too short. All these types live in herds
and have gregarious instincts. The goal
to be attained must combine the bodily
shape of the Spanish fighting bull, the
horns OF the French, the wildness and
activity of both, the color of the CorSi-
can, the coat of hair and the manner of
hair-Shedding of all three"
The German biologists are approach
ing the problem in q still different way
on the Island of Lemand, in the Aland
Islands, near Sweden. In most parts of
Europe cattle have been bred for a def
mite purpose-such as milk production,
cream production, size, quality of meat,
fighting proclivities. But, they found,
here all sorts of races of cattle have
been introduced and allowed to interbreed
haphazardly, without any definite OBJ
jective. There are Danish, Frisian, Scotch,
hornleSS Finnish, Swedish and Russian
cattle. There are constant tendencies to-
ward reverSion of types and calves fire.
Quently are born with one or more au-
rochS characteristics.
The Lemand cattle are being watched
carefully for these reversions, to be used
as breeding material.

Purpose of Democracy is
To Serve All People

40 tne Eultor Oh Inc star.
Democracy, what is 1t? One would
never know it's meaning by some of the
acts of the so-called Jef1ersonians who
have not yet learned its true value to
the Nation. Democracy, as conceive
1t. is broad, elicit and expansive enough
to serve all Of the people-the masses
in emergencies and at all times. Caesar
ism and Democracy cannot live In the
same nation and thrive-one or the other
must 60. Which shall 1t be in this coun-
try Of ours? Democracy cannot live
where coercing exists, or restrained by
sealing in vacuum; it can live only by
expanding to serve the masses.
Democracy the world over has never
lived in strait jacket; that is not
the meaning of democratic principles; it
must expand in serving the multitudes
to be truly called a democratic form of
government.
Which shall we have in this great Ma
ton OF ours. CaeSariSm or true demo-
cratic principles as laid down by our
forefatherS in the Constitution of the
United States and which that grand old
man. William E. Gladstone of the
English-speaking race, has this to say
of the Constitution of the United States:
THE greatest instrument Of government
ever struck of at given time by the
hand or brain of man." Shall we pre-
serve It?
II we could just educate the people
to live up to true democratic principles
there would be more happiness and we
would be the most formidable nation in
the world today to help build world of
democracy.
Various forms Of government are try
ing to thrust themselves upon the world
why stand idly by and let democracy
perish?
Some rulers of foreign nations are
building a catafalque to place the coffin
OF democracy on for burial. Shall they
succeed? The answer rests with those
who believe in q democratic form of
government.
We have seen the effects of Stain
and his communism, Hitler and naz-
ism, Mussolini and fascism-where to
take q personal stand against the regime
of those governments means to face q
firing squad. Is that freedom?
Why not teach democracy to the
world and free the masses of bondage
and the desire for war, and remove
despotism from despotic powers?
The liberalism OF democracy practiced
In its true sense is the only form of gov
ernment worth while. Let us see to IT
that 1t lives on for freedoms sake in
this country, If no other.
We have something worth fighting for
Let us make good job Of it and preserve
the Nation and what it stands for
freedom, free press and free speech to all

Unimportant Warning.

In warning Republican national head
quarters, Attorney General Cummings
has called attention to a curious and
apparently ambiguous statute which is
more interesting than the alleged viola
ton. He did not 60 so far as to warn
the Republican campaign directors that
they would be prosecuted, or that the
butchers and bakers and candlestick
makers who displayed Republican cam
paign Notwithstanding portion Of
price to taxes-would be prosecuted. AS
q matter of fact, the thought of the De-
partment of Justice prosecuting a
butcher for displaying a sign indicating
the portion of the price of his lamb
chops represented in taxes is little
too fantastic.
But, said the Attorney General, there
Is the law. And here is what it says:
Whoever in connection with the sale
or lease, or offer for sale or lease, Of any
article, or for the purpose of making such
sale or lease makes any statement, writ
ten or oral % intended or calculated to
lead any person to believe that any part
of the price at which such article is sold
or leased, or offered for sale or lease,
consists of a tax imposed under the
authority of the United States, or CD
ascribing a particular part of such price
to tax imposed under the authority OF
the United States knowing that such
statement is false, or that the tax is not
so great as the portion OF such price
ascribed to such tax, shall be guilty OF a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof, shall be punished by fine OF
not more than 81 900 or by imprisonment
not exceeding one year, or both.

America Stands Pat.

Secretary Hull has lost no time in re-
pudiating an erroneous misinterpreta-
ton placed upon his recent New York
address on foreign relations. He had
mentioned the notorious fact that
"strong nations have chosen to proceed
in disregard of the Kellogg BRAND pact;
and this basis for international trust
has thus been greatly impaired
Certain on-American authorities in
Washington forthwith inspired published
suggestions that the Hull pronouncement
Is a virtual admission" by the Secretary
of State of the "futility and failure" OF
the anti-war pact. Thereupon the de-
duction was drawn that the Stimson
doctrine of 1882, which 'implemented"
the Kellogg BRAND treaty by providing
for non-recognition of territorial ac-
QUESTIONS through violation of its terms,
has apparently been abandoned by the
United States. Specifically it was sug-
eested that if other governments were
now to acknowledge the validity of
Italy's conquest of Ethiopia, this country
would follow suit.
Secretary Hull has done well promptly
and unequivocally to demolish the theory
that he meant in any way to indicate
the disappearance of American faith in
either the letter or the spirit of the multi
lateral pact renouncing war as an instru-
ment of national policy. He was no less
positive in denying that Washington
contemplates any change of attitude
toward the methods by which the maps
of Asia and Africa were forcibly redrawn
On the contrary. Judge Hull sought in
his New York address, it was pointed
out, to keep alive and perpetuate every
thing the Kellogg pact stands for, by
linking 1t with the Jeffersonian formula
of peace, commerce and honest friend
Uances with none"
Between his election and Inauguration,
In the Winter of 1932-1s33, MIR. Roose-
velt found occasion to identify himself

to the anti-war pact by declaring that
the sanctity of treaties is the corner
stone of international relations. The
League of Nations had previously &C
cepted the same theory respecting Man.
churia, and at the 1888 Pan-American
Conference in Montevideo, where Secre-
tary Hull himself played so influential
q role, the doctrine of non-recognition
of ill-gotten territorial gains was for
mally incorporated in the Saavrev1A
Lamas peace pact, to which all of til
twenty -one American states adhered.
In the light of this consistent record,
1t is inconceivable that the United States
should turn its back on the program OF
withholding recognition of political
changes made in defiance of solemnly
covenanted international pledges. 1t is
gratifying that the responsible conductor
of American foreign policy has in forth
right fashion notified all concerned that
on this score Uncle Sam stands pat.
