err, and that circumstances make
it a fact that millions of people
are interested in them.
For the present, we believe it is
best that they live together, play
together, learn together. But
that doesn't mean that they are
being "regimented" or being de-
veloped into the sort of thing
you see on the stage as a SISTER
act"
LIVERY possible effort is being
- made, and has been made, to
let them develop their own per-
sonalities and characters. And
we aren't just shooting in the
dark about it.
From the early days, have had
the advantage of the constant
advice of men at the University
OF Toronto, who have given their
lives to the study of lust such
problems. We are not doing any

any
We have at our service the best
knowledge science has been able
to bring together on these prob
lens of mental and spiritual devel-
opment. And We are constantly
on the alert, here at the hospital,
to see that it works out properly
in practice.
For instance, when we first
started bathing the babies in the
tub, the nurses bathed the larger
babies first and then taking them
in that order. There wasn't any
particular reason for this; it was
just one of those things you do
without thinking about it.
Pretty soon we found that
Marie, the smallest baby, was
beginning to be sulky about her
bath. She seemed to stray away
from it, and, once in the tub, she
did not kick and splash like the
other babies.
What had happened was that
she had noticed that she always
was last, and she felt that some
how there was a sort of dis
elimination against her.
60 we quickly changed all that.
~ We made it a point not to
battle the babies in the same
order twice in succession. And
within day or two Marie was
enjoying her bath just as much
as were any of the others.
Naturally we continued the

nent census is practicable. At least the most COM
petent statistical authorities in the Administration
say it is. They have plans all worked out for TAX
ing such census. They know how much it would
cost-and it wouldn't cost nearly as much as the
government is spending to bail out st. Louis real
estate in order to build a second jefferson

Mississippi waterfront

Washington carefully as if it were the general
staff mapping the progress of an invading army.
But we can't stop to count the noses of the I'M
employed.
The only logical argument against using some Of
this white-collar labor on an unemployment census
and on periodic recheckS of such census once it is
established is that there some hesitation in WPA
about using relief workers on doorbel-r ringing jobs
One of them was shot one time No one would wish
to subject relief workers to hazardous tasks, but

The reason we do not have

the scahby epers and cay-eaers who confronted the
inspection of the foreign press in Ethiopia
Chnnce for an Argument
THE political esSayists adhering to the letter Of
Il the law and the treaties. still insist that Halle
Se!assie got raw deal but the mue-back journal
lists who saw and smelled the Abyssinians Including
the court circle brought in a unanimous report that
they weren't the sort of people one likes to know
and therefore ought to be exterminated
The Australians used to tell a story of billv-
goat which, walked to leeward of a Turkish soldier
ana keeled over dead, but it appears that even a
thoroughly ripe Turk would do the same in the pres
ence of one of the widowed warriors of the King
of Kings.
Considering all that has been learned about the
people and the country since Mussolni set out to
defend the gates of Rome it is reasonable to expect
that AbySsinia will be declared to be no nation but
merely focus of infections and smells and kicked
OUT OF the League as soon the pressure of business
permits consideration of motion to that effect
Meanwhile Sir Samuel Hoare the celebrated
eurythmlc skater who serving as foreign secre-
tary to his late majesty, King George v fell
on his face as he flew through the air with the
greatest of ease and broke his nose in three places
being relieved OF the job by Mr. Anthony Eden, the
most beautiful foreign secretary British history
The gorgeous man had threatened Mussolini with
landlng party for his wiilful conduct toward the
Negus IN violation of the solemn covenant but when
Adolf Hitler made much more omnous move to-
ward the French frontier Mr. Eden found reasons to
sit down and talk things over in a calm atmosphere
So MuSSolinis army continues its defensive pene-
traton of Abyssinia, introducing new odors to COM
bat the native reek. The army of the Olympic games
occupies forbidden territory the French frontier
and the thrifty innkeepers of Geneva, Switzerland

Pan Points ont Confusion

DUT after somewhat hasty examination of the
ID manuscript of Glass of 1929 1 must admit
that there is merit in the contention Of those who
cry that here IS propaganda Roughly, the play says
that there confusion 1t reports that many young
people coming out of the colleges unable to find
jobs. Glass Of 1929 suggests that in addition to
material wants unemployment confers upon the
youth Of America a spiritual unrest.
All this, suppose might come under the head OF
propaganda. l suppose some might call it sub
versive propaganda. But l am forever puzzled by
those who cry out against the plain recital of facts
which seem true by every test. Who dares to deny
that there Is vast unrest among the young men
and women of America?
The very fact that Federal projects for painters
and plsywrights and authors exist is an admission
that the river beds and even the tiny creeks have
dried up. And what the folk supposed to do
when the government steps up with crumbs OF COM
fort for those who would make books or plays or
pictures? Is the author of a play for Federal
project to set down nothing but some variation
of the theme of Boy Meets Girl and must he
most carefully fashion each line and incident into
a form which not possibly offend Mr.. Hearst,

Look Into OLUn Hearts

CAN anybody write anything which might not
~ serve to offend the league? I doubt that any
recognizable form OF play possibly could pass muster
with these battle-scarred thespans, since their
notion of the drama seems to be a recurrent cue,

or any other says to the ambitious young play
wrights of America I'VE will give you chance to

and hearts for their material The fair rewards af-

bread of af1uence But if they hundred
times as great would still expect the recipients to
say I'll" still write my stuff
