Just year ago this column carried an
article on getting dust in the eye, and
what to do when this occurred.
The windy season is here again, and
with it the fatal flight of insects, at
tracted by the bright appearance Of the
windows Of the soul"
Nothing is more disconcerting, in the
ordinary walks of life, than this un-
wanted tenant in the aqueous humor.
It has no business there, and no doubt
wishes, once immersed, that it had kept
out!
Persons who have scanty eyelashes
must be on the watch continually for
this accident.
1t is curious thing, but such persons
almost always possess a highly strung
nervous system, which makes the inclu-
sion Of a bug" in the eye a mental as
well as physical catastrophe.
1nsensitiye folks, with eyelids densely
equipped with lashes, seldom understand
this nervous spasm which the unwanted
insect creates in certain persons.
The Spasm Is far heavier than the
circumstances might seem to warrant,
but the point Is that the eye is one Of
the most delicate Of human organizations
and tissues, and has far reaches when
1t comes to the nervous system.
The first preeaution which the nervous
person can take to protect himself from
the last flyers among the insect popula-
tion for the season is to think about the
possibility Of such an invasion all the
time he Is in the open air.
This may seem nuisance, and so 1t
Is. but 1t gets 'results-that is, 1t Will
result in far fewer bugs in the eye!
II one feels on going into the air.
especially when the wind is blowing. that
there is possibility of getting something
In the eye, he will be on the watch and
take all pains to watch out for eddies
OF dust, etc.
The second thing to keep in mind is
that the eyes consciously held partly
shut have just that much less shining
surface exposed.
1t undoubtedly is this shine which
attracts the insects indulging in their
last flights of the season.
All persons with wide eyes ought to
take particular care to keep them some
what narrowed when outdoors.
The next thing to keep in mind is
perhaps the most essential of all, If one
wishes to avoid the fast-flying insect
particularly.
This is to avoid looking sideways as
much as possible.
1t seems that every bug which gets in
the eye flies in at an angle, seldom
straight on.
BY keeping ones head straight for
ward and avoiding sideward glances,
which necessitate opening of the eyes a
bit wider, there will be far less oppor-
tunity for the high flyer to lodge squarely
on the white.
The moment an insect hits the eye 1t
instantly seems drawn in.
1t Is aided by the involuntary batting"
OF the eye which the sudden impact of
the foreign substance sets up.
This is a spontaneous and practically
irresistible movement of the eyelids.
The moment something hits them,
pop! they go shut, instinctively, in order
to prevent the insect, dust, bit of metal,
wood or other substance from getting
lodged under the lid.
1t is here again that the person with

Of all the centuries in 81 BIC, as well as
consul by the centuries In "a BE-, but he
wrote: HE who hangs on the errors Of
the ignorant multitude must not be
counted among great men," and "The
rabble estimate few things according to
their real value, most things according to
their prejudices." And his position as a
critic was supported by Horace, Juvenal
and many other gifted and ordinarily
clear-sighted commentators of his period.
Ovid was alone in his warning: do not
lay on the many the blame that is due
to few"
The thinkers Of the Middle Ages like
wise habitually distrusted the masses.
Alcuin, founder of the famous school of
Charlemagne. wrote to his patron: I'VE
would not listen to those who were won't
to say that the voice Of the people is the
voice of God, for the voice of the mob is
near akin to madness" But the tide had
turned by the date Of Queen Elizabeth's
reign. Shakespeare was conservative,
certainly, and similar attitude was
maintained by Sir Philip Sidney. Bacon,
however, foreshadowed modern opinion
in his confidence that: "The voice Of the
people has about it something divine; for
how otherwise can so many heads agree
together as one?"
For the contemporary point of view, 1t
is necessary to 60 back no further than
Edmund Burke. He conceded that: "The
tyranny of the multitude is multiplied
tyranny" but he just as forcefully de-
clared: "The individual is foolish; the
multitude, for the moment, is foolish
when they act without deliberation; but
the species Is wise, and. when time is
given to 1t, as q species it always acts
right" Possibly Abraham Lincoln may
have had his philosophy in mind when
he demanded: why should there not be
a patient confidence in the ultimate
justice of the people? Is there any better
or equal hope in the world?"

Welcome!

Although denied any participation in
the election, Washington today gave rec
ognition of the extraordinary indorse-
ment of the administration of President
Roosevelt at the polls on Tuesday. Its
citizens assembled in great numbers to
welcome him upon his return to the Cap
ital and cheered him as he progressed
from the railroad station to the White
House. 1t was spontaneous and sincere
tribute to him. No other President, save
George Washington, has been SO honored.
The President is officially Washing
tonian during his term of office. His fell
low citizens of the Capital today accord
ed to him the honor of reception that
will stand as unique in history. They
cast their votes for him with their cheers
as he progressed to the White House,
where he will preside for another term.

Protests Y. M. C.. A. Plan
For Employment Agency
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The Y. M. c. A. Is reported to be
conducting, or taking part in plan to
secure employment for young men. This
revives the current myth that the Y. M.
c. A. Is q sort of big brother to young
men who are in need Of any kind. But
II they treat the unemployed young men
in this present movement as they have
during their whole career, many young
men will not be able to meet the cost
of the jobs they may secure, or the cost
of the interviews for such jobs.
A man seeking employment through
the Y. M. c. A. in such centers as Kansas
City, Mo-, and other large cities will not
even be told where a job is located
until he has paid fee, which is gen.
orally SO or more. Such methods are
actually being employed at the present
time in dealing with young men after
over six years Of widespread unemploy-
ment and suffering If the Y. M. C. A.
wishes to conduct employment agencies
along with their other commercial enter
prises, that is their business; but they
should not pose as charitable or Char

Influence of Liquor on
Morale of the Nation
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Allow me to offer hearty approval of all
that DR.. Harris said about the order of
Mr.. Woodring concerning the granting
Of liquor license for location near
Walter Reed Hospital. We used to have
a law that set definite limit to the
distance from hospitals, schools,
churches and military reservations
within which liquor could be sold But
since repeal the saloons are established
over protests, and often petitions for
their removal are ignored. We are def
nitely and deplorably lowering our moral
standards. This has been increasingly
SO since the World War. Our men and
women came home from overseas with q
vocabulary and an attitude toward the
decencies of life wholly foreign to the
u. s. A. and this has been growing worse
ever since. Repeal and conditions that
have resulted from it are features of the
general slump in morals. Language, lit
erature, art, fashions in dress, the in
crease in the use of tobacco and al
coholic drinks are all demonstrations
of our lowered standards which began
to sag when our boys went lover there"
Our present-day modernS believe they
have achieved q freedom hitherto un-
known. The fact is their practices be-
long to q time generations ago. Not SO
long ago we considered it disgraceful to
countenance prize fights and cities
barred them from their limits. Now men
and women travel miles and pay ex-
orbitant prices for ringside seat. We
are almost back to the thumbs down"
era of Rome. We had reached the plane
where getting intoxicated was disgrace.
Now we hear OF the president OF great
university asking the guests at the games
to not drink as it demoralized the game
and then of another president OF an
other university saying they had to hire
four additional matrons to care for the
drunken girls. We are now on par
with those men who some generations
ago drank until they slumped under
the table and their Wallets pulled them
out and helped them to bed.
Oh, no. We are not modern. We are
going back to the Dark Ages. All over
again we must learn the meaning OF
such words as modesty, self-control, de-
cency, dignity, reverance. respect.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

When New Deal cards are reshuf1ed.
with advent of the second Roosevelt ad-
ministration, young DR.. Stanley High.
who organized and conducted the Good
Neighbor League, Is likely to be found
well up in the councils of the executive
supreme command. Now and then
Highs name is mentioned as a likely
addition to the White House secretariat.
Some authorities attribute the vast
swelling of the Roosevelt popular vote
largely to the quiet, but persistent and
comprehensive missionary efforts put
forth in town and country under aus
pices Of the Good Neighbor League.
Judge William H. Smathers, Demo-
cratic Senator r-elest from New Jersey,
comes to Washington with the reputa-
ton of a man who specialized in fight
ing rackets and other forms of under
world crime throughout the Jersey shore
resort region. Judge Smathers halls
from the Atlantic City residential Sec
ton in which former Senator Walter
E. Edge, Republican, once lived. Both
on the bench and in the Senate at
Trenton, and later as first assistant of
Attorney General Wilentz, Judge
Smathers was conspicuous for his bel
igerency in the field of public welfare.
His friends predict that the crusading
spirit will mark his career in Congress
from the moment he takes office.
Smathers is a native North Carolinian,
but has lived in New Jersey since 1910
He is As years old.

Kahn'S failure to secure reelection in
San Francisco evokes general and BIZ
partisan regret in Washington, where
her late husband, Representative Julius
Kahn, and she herself as his successor
were popular figures for so many years.
Speaker Nicholas Longworth once said
that the gentlewoman from the Golden
Gate was in his opinion far and away
the ablest Representative of her sex
ever elected to Congress. She was in
defatigability itself in all affairs affect
ing California, and her defeat came as
q surprise to Capital friends and poll
ticians. Mrs. Kahn's successful oppo-
nent, Franck Havenner, who ran as a
Democrat-Progre was formerly as
Sociated with Senator Hiram johnson
and latterly has been president of the
Board Of Supervisors in San Francisco.
~
Gov. Landon has been so terrifically
smashed, and forfeited SO much pres
tige through failure to carry even his
own State, that it would seem worse
than premature to discuss his political
future. Nevertheless it has been under
stood that in case Of defeat for the
presidency, Landon would seek the
Junior United States senatorship from
Kansas in 1888, as an opponent of in
cumbent Democratic Senator George
McGill. Much depends presumably on
whether Landon henceforth seeks to
exercise any rights as titular leader of
the defeated and demoralized G. o. P.
While nothing offlcial is intimated
there on the subject, the State Depart
ment wouldn't be surprised If, during
his Southern Atlantic cruise, President
Roosevelt decided to drop in on the i'm
pending Inter American Peace Confer
ence at Buenos Aires. It's expected Mr..
Roosevelt will soon find occasion to
declare himself on the subject.

Rules of Courtesy to Flag
When Carried at Night
NJ ~. rd,to, os The star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the Halloween parade last Satur-
day great number Of uniformed or
ganizations carried at their head an
American flag.
It seems to. me that any organization
that carries flag should be familiar
with the rules Of courtesy to the flag, one
of which is that the flag must be cased-
/. e., rolled on its staff and covered
when carried at night.
OF the several hundred or more flags
carried in the parade the only one prop
erly cased was that borne by the Sons
of the American Legion Drum Corps.
am no fanatic on the question of sa-
luting the flag, but the city officials that
permit parades should see to 1t that If
the American nag is carried In Q pa
rade, it should be accorded the proper
respect by those carrying it.

The Worlds Approval.

French Premier Blum strikes the note
echoed virtually throughout the world
respecting the result of the American
presidential election. He says it will be
interpreted everywhere as "a success for
democracy" A Hungarian newspaper,
Az Est of Budapest, describes 1t as "a
lesson to all advocates of Fascist au-
thoritarian regimes" In the Far East,
japanese and Chinese spokesmen, with
out reference to the partisan considera-
tiOnS involved in the late unpleasant
ness, rejoice in President Roosevelt s
victory because his administration has
so consistently upheld the principle of
the good neighbor in foreign relations.
1t goes without saying that Latin Amer
ica welcomes the outcome of Tuesday S
test at the ballot box in the United
States for the reason that the President
is so resolute and constructive devotee
of inter-American amity and good will,
as exemplified by his initiative in con-
vening the peace conference about to
meet in Argentina.
1t is the exhibition of how a nation
Of 128,000,OO0 people, represented BY
45,o0O,000 voters, goes peaceably and freely
about the business of molding its own
destiny that carries the most impressive
ness overseas. The demonstration oc-
ours at q moment when democratic
ideals of government, as manifested in
Germany, Italy and elsewhere, are at q
discount and ruthlessly trodden under
foot by relationships. The circumstances
which accompanied Mr.. Roosevelt's over
whelming reelection, in M. Blums
words, prove to opinion abroad that
q great flow of ideas in q free country
can triumph over all obstacles" The
result, he adds, "brings hope and en-
couragement to international democracy
because to the entire world President
Roosevelt personifies with particular
strength that ideal Of justice at which
all free peoples and democratic gov
ernments aim"
Naturally it is only to European coun-
tries in which the press is controlled by
autocratic governments that the New
Deals victorious vote suggests trend
toward the single party system ordained
by dictators. Thus the Berlin Tageblatt
asks: "Is this democratic election, or
is it the eruption of the Fuehrer idea
within the democratic systen-achieved
by democratic methodist" The Hitlerite
organ need indulge in no superfiuous
hopes or expectations on that score. The
election results in the United States are
merely the traditional voice of the Amer
ican people, speaking, it Is true, in un-
precedentedly stentorian tone, but def
nitely and exclusively in the ancient
accents of unshackled democracy. Some
day that voice may speak again in q
language no less positive than it thun-
dered this week and reverse policies
which the electorate has just approved
But nothing has happened here to JUS
tify any semblance of assumption that
such processes ever will be anything but
those of constitutional democracy. The
American people, accepting the verdict
of the polls, carry on in that unshatter-
able confidence.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Post Campaign Conversation.
Once more you'll hear a common phrase,
Which sounded all disdainful.
1t had sting in other days
Intended to be painful.
When fierce resentments were afiame,
Which kindness could not smother,
Folks harshly joined in the acclaim
And hollered, you're another!"
Says Jack to Jim, "Our fight was grim;
You are gallant fighter.
You are hero fit and trim
Than whom none is politer.
You are man who scorns to stack
The cards against brother"
And quickly Jack will answer back
And say, Jim, you're another!"
