PERFECT X-RAY MOVIE
 CAMERA

London, (UP)-An X-ray cam era which will take moving pie lures has been perfected by a Bril- tish radiologist. The invention enables a doctor to take fast moving X-ray picture, and then slow it down so that he may study it in detail, a feat which has hitherto been impossible. It is ex- pected to prove a great aid to the study of gastric, abdominal and respiratory illnesses.

THE GATHERING CLOUD

We fought u wax back in 1889 because our
battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor.
Yet to this day il has never been proven that the
nation we fought, Spain, had anything to do with
blowing it up or even indeed that it was not blown
I'D by the bursting of one of its own boilers.
The case of the destruction of the gunboat Panay
by the Japanese is far more perfect casus belll.
For there is no question that the Japanese destroy
ed it and with it. in all probability the lives OF at
least one of our sailors. And in international law,
Japan has no status whatever against neutraS,
since her war in China is undeclared. Literally,
the destruction of the gunboat in the Yangtze IS
precisely as though the japanese had steamed into
our naval bases at Pearl HarbOr, San Pedro, Bal
boat or Newport News, and destroyed it there!
And yet-the chances are against our going to
war this time. We have learned restraint since
1898, and rs a people, remembering the Great
War we are very determined not to fight Still
the fact becomes increasingly plain that we are
going to have need of all our restraint and all our
determination--an that perhaps in the end they
will not suffice. For when add up the japanese
destruction of our gunboat the japanese shellmg
of British gunDoat and killing OF British sailor
Mussolini's and Hitler'S increasing aggreSsiveneSS
the sum becomes clearer and clearer that force IS
the only thing the new bandit nations are prepared
to rcspect-Charotte News.

GENESIS OF PARLoR PINKS

self fired on a charge of swiping $774 out of the
treasury OF devOting u large part of his earnings
to advancing the cause Of communism "by guile
and subterfuse" and interesting national ceebr-
ties in that radical cause
Without regard to the truth or falsity OF the
allegations against Actor Marsh personally we do
not find il impossible to believe that a high-sala
ried movie star might be playing around with COM
munism, paradox though it may seem on the face
Of it. Communists in the United States, indeed, fall
almost wholly into three groups:
1.-The we.meaning but more less balmy pe"-
pie who think with their emotions.
2-The disgrunted underdogs who think the
world has not given them fair break and who
hate their betters with personal spleen.
3-The parlor pinks, invariably wealthy or we'll
educated or both, and in nearly all cases enjoying
very pleasant berths in the world
What explains these last? WE'LL maybe they
have some kinship with the first group. They often
do-often exhibit a genuine if misty and unrealis-
tic sympathy with the plight of the underdog. But
more than anything else, we suspect it's simple
human vanity. The notion Of communism is asso-
ciated in their minds with the ideas of advanced
thought and penetrating insight. And by embrace
ing it they can give themselves pleasant sense Of
intellectual superiority without actually possessing
