sists on talking to the American Legion members as if they group of baiters"? Most Legion naires are no more concerned with foreign propa- ganda' and "Communistic influences" than the rank and file of other good American citizens There is no reason why they should be. They no better Am orleans than of citizens who are not bers of the Legion
 But every time there is Legion convention anywhere good old flag-waver immediately labels the Legionnaires the counrys official red baiters" by shouting about Communism and foreign influences"
 The Legion has no more responsibility in pre- serving American ideals than other American groups and organizations. Naturally from its very origin it may be more active in that respect But it does not follow that the Legion should be selected as the one organization in this country to be thrown against foreign propaganda and "Communistic influences
 Some day somebody will address the Legionnaires as fellow Americans and they will have forgotten how to act

 Engineers and scientists, espec- ially chemists, now will be in great demand The United States is to be more than ever dominant in in- lternational affairs that require trained men,
 Women are well directed under this configuration, but they will be thwarted in certain altruistic eff forts. especially in peace move ments.
 This is a lucky wedding day and seems to promise steady prosperity for those married under this confi- guration. Both husbands and wives probably will be wage-earners.
 Sports and amusements are sub ject to strongly favorable aspects. Football this season is to be of ex- traordinary interest. New plays will win success on the stage.
 This is not an suspicious date for signing legal papers of any sort and especially ill-omened for leases and contracts.
 The evening should be fairly lucky for labor meetings or confer ences. Agreements between en- players and employees appear to be foreshadowed

 Too often there is a tendency to up sick ness in a community the theory being not to scare people True people might become frightened in a few but it is great deal better that they be advised of the facts rather than bnder in the dark of ignorance
 Infantle paralysis is joking matter and neither is any other disease for that matter if not properly handled Mumps, measles and the rest of the so-caed kid diseases" can and have resulted in death when permitted to run rampant.

The Fly in the Pudding
(New York World -Telegram)

(New York World Telegram When Edward VII King of England recounts Dr. Chenting T. Wang, Chinas shrewd Ambassador to this country of his grandsons attempted to speak to him at the table. But the lad was drowned down Again and again he tried to talk, but without success r Now" said the King, they left the dining room, what was it you wanted to say?" T wanted" replied the Prince ito tell you about the fly in your pudding. But now it's too latep
 And so" says the Ambassador pointing his moral unless world is prevented it will be too late to save our civilization from ruin and the only way to prevent world is through collective security pacts."
 The Chinese envoy is right as rivet But what wrong is not that the world lacking in pacts but that when group of nations refuses to respect pacts the others do nothing at all about it.
 The Brand- Kellogg pact outlawing aggressive war bears the signatures of every civilized nation the globe But when it is violated nothing is done about it.
 All but very few of the worlds governments sub- scribed to the covenant of the League of Nations It not only outlaws aggressive but provides ample machinery for bringing aggressors to book Yet has been punished.
 Eight powers other than China signed the nine power pact solemnly binding one and all to refrain from interfering with Chnas territorial and admin istrative integrity. Yet of its chief sgnatores has twice violated it's every paragraph and nothing effective has been done about it.
 By invading China she violated the nine power treaty. By resorting to aggressive she violated the Kellogg pact and the League covenant By bombing and machine gunning noncombatants she is violating the rules of what sometimes is flaterngly called civilized warfare Her blockade threatens at any moment to become piracy unprecedented scale. Her entire adventure from beginning to end constitutes wholesale violation of all the rules of international conduct which we thought we had patiently and laboriously built up since Armageddon
 To it all up bluntly, Japan is now saying to the rest of the world: Get the hell out of here We want China for ourselves"
 
 And what, if anything. will be done about it? Resort to war? We certainly hope not Nobody wants war.
 Then what?
 Surely there ways of meeting the Japanese challenge other than by by running away. A new world pr. Wang indicates, might smash Japan but it also would smash civilization But run ming away certainly will not settle anything either That would only be taken for cowardice by the Jap- militarists who would then reach out for more
 But all that is negative Meanwhile this world of is racing toward the hour when it decide whether to return to barbarism, with its law of vival of the strongest, to stiffen it's opposition to international outawry.
 What the specific answer is do not pretend to know. But this we do know. The interested powers had better begin to think up one and there is a pretty big fly in this worlds pudding
