Bruce Carton Says:
World LawIessness Taken for Granted

The Mediterrean world has got
over the bad attack of jitters which
afflicted it a few months ago.
Not long since. the air around
that historic sea was charged with
tension and nervous expectancy.
War was in the wind, and a break
down of international law, and
strong arm tactics or high and low
degree. Everyone looked ahead to
she worst.
Now. says Anne O'Hare McCor-
mick in a dispatch to the New York
Times, the tention is eased The
war scare has been raised so often
that people are no longer scared
by it. The state of tension has
come to seem normal. People have
stopped worrying.
But this is not good news. On
the contrary, as Mrs. Mccormick
points out, it is just about the
worst news possible. For it means
that people are getting hardened
to cruelty, lawlessnesst and fear.
They are taking for granted a
world in which all Of the old secur-
tiles have ceased to exist.
1t is worth while to ponder over
this fact for a moment, for it is
perhaps the most dismaying fact
on the horizon today
Consider the state of affairs on
the Mediterranean. Warships are
patroling the sea lanes on a war
time basis. Hiddtn submarines
lurk in sheltered coves, to-, dart
out every so often and sink un-
offending merchant ships. Bomb
ing planes cruise in the Skies,
dropping down ever and again to
blast some peaceful carrier of
goods. Every naval base On the sea.
every fleet and squadron and
flotilla, is kept constantly ready
for actionJ
On shore things are little bet
ter. At least three great nations,
technically at peace with the
world, are up to their necks in a
war that is tearing Spain to bits.
Rumors of revolt, of international
plots and of mutiny are rife all
along the African coast. In Pales-
tine an ugly three sided fight is
taking its toll in murders, guer-
lila encounters, and bombings. And
in no Mediterranean land have
the common people the slightest

Who Said Pills.?
It's Fun to
Keep" "Regular''!

Is keeping regular" chore in your
family? Does it mean over-stimulating
your intestines with cathartics? Then
here's good news! You can AVOID
common constipation and cathartics,
and have a grand time doing it!
Instead of abusing your intestines,
eat a NATURAL laxative food. In
stead of bad-tasting pills and liquids
ENJOY crunchy, toasted Kelloggs
All-Bran with milk or cream and
fruits. Or in All-Bran mullins, or ALL
Bran cookies.
All-Bran will KEEP you regular" as
the ime-table-but it works SO differ
emily from harsh purgatives. 1t doesn't
over-stimulate your intestines; it gives
them TWO things they crave and
need. First, All-Bran provides bulk
it absorbs water and softens like a
sponge. This water-softened mass aids
elimination. And next, the Intestinal
tonic vitamin "B,." All-Bran is good
source of this vitamin that tones up
your intestinal tract.
Use All-Bran regularly: eat two Ia
blespoons every day and drink plenty
of water. The results will delight you!
Every grocer sells All-Bran. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Creek.

SPEAKING oF-(AHEMD-LEcs

For number of years the citizens of
this republic have been leg conscious as
stage, screen and bathing beauties have
We'd with each other for the privilege of
establishing by patent display the right of
owning the most beautiful legs of the
land.
We have endured the competition
with some fortitude, including the danger
of lost eyesight from overstrain, and with
the general conclusion that American fe-
males, so far as we could judge, had the
right to stand on their own legs without
hiding them from any competition.
Now comes our former ambassador to
Germany, James w Gerard, to begin to
boast about the leg of the American male,
as displaeyd in knee breeches at the British
coronation. THE Americans showed fine
set of legs he declared. There wasn't
a knocking knee or bandy-leg in the whole
outfit"
This is a new field in the study of
legology, SO far as we are concerned, and
we are not yet prepared to admit that the
former ambassador has any just cause for
iubilation inasmuch as he may have, by
chance, come across better-than-average
set of male legs. While there may be
something of beauty in the male leg we
are inclined, for the present, to pass them
by; we have other matters to look after.

CHINA MUST SAVE HERSELF

The outbreak of real fighting between
Chinese and Japanese troops, brought
about by attempts of the latter to take
possession of Chinese cities, starts strug-
gle that may last much longer than most
of us think, with more important develop
merits to take place later on.
Sympathy of the world, generally, we
would say is with the Chinese but even
these venerable people have discovered
that world sympathy will not win battles.
They know now that the freedom of China
rests upon the fighting ability of the
Chinese soldier and that nothing but the
exertion of China will prevent the Jap
anese from mastering the entire country.
There is, at least, small lesson for
pacifists in the present situation. No one,
so far as we know, accused the Chinese of
attempting to invade japan or infringe
upon the sovereignty of the island en-
pire. The Chinese, as matter of fact,
have taken a steady drubbing from the
little brown soldiers for years and the Jap
anese have steadily encroached upon the
territory of China.
Chang Kai-shek, the leader of China,
is an extremely able man and it is pos
sible that his millions of people have been
organized for effective resistance to Jap
anese might. The price to be paid, how
ever, will be heavy loss of life but there is
this to be said, Japan cannot afford to
squander too much national strength in a
long draWn-out struggle in China. If the
Chinese continue their resistance, even in
the face of major defeats, the Japanese
will, in the end lose the war
The attitude of the United States to
this new warfare, by virtue of the neu-
trality act, will be to cut herself off from
trading relations except under conditions
that will favor Japan. This, we do not be-
lieve, will have the support of the people
of the nation, regardless of the fervor with
which certain Congressman pressed for
neutrality legislation.
The Japanese, it is said, fear that
outside powers might attempt to exert
some pressure in the Far East. They sus,
pect the British. Later, they will probably
suspect the United States. Meanwhile,
they count on the trouble in Spain to keep
Europeannations busy and Americas aver,
sion to war to keep us out of the struggle.
