lions of cells.
arthur nris""ne Every cell In the
body must have, from a laboring heart,
Its supply of food and oxygen, pumped
every second.
The brain, alone, contains thirty
thousand million separate cells, ac-
cording to Doctor Carrel. In his 100
surplus pounds, Chesterton carried
scores of billions of useless cells, each
making an unnecessary demand on the

Do not let yourself remain fat, after

At one of the ultra-radical workers
meetings in France, the red flag dis
played and the communist "interna-
tional" hymn sung, there was radical
and determined talk. Monsieur Tho
rez told the meeting the factories of
France would soon belong to the work
ers, s-si.s- 1t--is'.tl. 49, a-.s
If the plan is sent through some
workers would discover that it takes
more than red flag and hymn to run
a factory and make 1t pay; if factories
did not pay there would be no pay
rolls. Brains count as well as hands.
The eyes carry no load, but they di-
rect the feet and hands.
South China thought she wanted
war with Japan, and will probably have

War with Japan is the easiest thing
to have, IL you really want 1t.
In Canton, South China's big city,
parades and mass meetings were or

Russian sovietism came quickly, and
might go quickly; signs of break
down are seen already. Those that do
more and better work get special re-
wards: engineers, chemists, scientists
occupy fine apartments compared with
those of ordinary workmen. That is
hardly straight communism" Now

The French Premier Blum, first Jew
fish prime minister in French history,
is a man Of unusual ability, combining
common sense with the radicalism of
his Socialist party. Mr.. Birchan writes
to the New York Times that there is
fear of anti-Semitic outbreaks in
France; observers "see ground-swell
of an anti-Semitic movement in the
vicious attacks of the right against
the new Jewish premier" French an
ti-Semitism, according to Mr.. Birchall,
has survived the Dreyfus case, which
should have ended it. .4ara-. sayS7i r..

1t is interesting to learn from Mr..
Ripley that the first Cunard steamship
did not carry as many passengers as
could be carried by one of the lifeboats

Spain proves that it is possible for
a country to be too radical for its own
good. Labor troubles and discussions
have put one million Spanish workers
out of their jobs, a good many for
Spain; and Spanish radicalism goes
beyond other kinds, many having been
killed by ''terrorists."
