 Every face in that vast throng registered some form of an animal propensity from hate to egoism. If D. w. Grifhths or Ce- ellie B. DeMille could have filmed the scene 1t would have been the best movie ever thrown on the silver screen. Dante's Inferno was a piker alongside of it.
 Being a student of human psychology. I made up my mind I would undertake to change this barren kingdom into a veritable paradise of love and brotherhood. realized it was immoral forces dominating these spirits that caused them all to be 'prisoned in that awful place. My plan was to instill dynamic love and courage in their spirits. and in doing so eliminate the destructive brutish and beastly traits. I was very m- dustriously laying my plans to accomplish the change of the population, when the two dapper chaps again appeared and request ed me to come before the big boss. When I reached his presence, he said, '"You are laying plans to change this institution. I rule here. am the boss and you will have to leave did not protest, but said, all right

 That was what the Great Henry" tried to do in Europe. and failed in his good intentions. European governments, called civilized, are most of them domi- mated and obsessed by furious hates, fears. jealousies and greeds. While chaotic conditions rule the spirits of nations. 1t is useless to expect universal peace through treaty or diplomatic agreements, neutrality pacts or what-nots. The only way to peace is through high CT education. The fighting animal propensities in man will have to be eliminated before universal peace is realized.

Some years ago Henry Ford, the Great Henry, who taught the world how to skid on wheels, bought a ship and with 8 crowd of American pacifists (un- adulterated branO sailed for Europe to end the World war. But off his base Henry was like a fish out of water. He was laughed at. Said the belligerents: Go home Henry. Don't butt in. If we want war that's our business. If you want to build tin lizzies, that's your business. What you don't know about war, Henny, would fill big book. We've got to have war. This is Europe. Go back to the good old U. s. A. Your trucks are o. k., but you're all wet" and back came the Great Henry, sadder and wiser man. The mind of Europe then as now, was set on the creed that the best kind of defense is attack, and it is a question of who will be the first to open the ball when the bluff is called. Danton said: "In order to defeat the enemies of this country we need audacity and still more audacity. and always audacity! Now it is not Danton who says 1t, but the dictators.
 In a Hot Place
 Some years ago out west, a friend of mine who was an altruist told the following story:
 Several years back, had wonderful vision while in dream state. I found myself on an exten- sive barren plain which was GOV. cred with millions of living beings having animal bodies and human heads and faces. I inquired of one of these creatures as to what the location was and what the assem- blaze represented. His reply was that it was the waiting room of hell. I was deeply interested in this psychic phenomena and was scrutinizing 1t with all the powers of observation and visualization I possessed. knew 8 few of these metamorphosed humans person. ally. It was quite clear to my mind that these were living humans whose spirits were dominated by their animal propensities. While I was studying the scene before me very intently, two dapper look ing chaps came up to me and said the boss wanted to see me inside. followed them through Q narrow passageway which led up to 8 big gate which opened at our ap- proach. I was taken before the boss of the institution.

they turned toward 1t, but went only
near enough to make sure the Offers
had taken to the water.

II know" replied the boy. I've
caught some nice trout there. But 1t
Is frozen over now"
Which is Just what we want" re-
piled Uncle Jim. THAT is where we
are going to set traps, one at each
end Of the pool. Those Offers travel
that pool under the ice. Well cut q
hole at each end where the water Is
shallow and set the traps in the
water. This will wash OF any human
scent left by handling the traps"
When they reached the long, still
pool it was frozen over, sure enough.
With his ak the old trapper cut .
hole in the ice. The water under
meath was only about 10 inches deep.
A little pen of dead sticks was made
by driving the sticks into the bed Of
the brook At the back of this little
pen a fish was fastened to stake. At
the entrance a cruel steel trap, with
widespread jaws, was set and securely
fastened to stake out In front. Then
snow was thrown in so that it would
freeze and close the opening.
At the other end Of the pool the
same thing was done. A hole was
cut, little pen built, a fish put in
for bait and trap set.
I'VE should get one of those fellows,
and perhaps we will get both," said
Uncle Jim. Smart animals, Otters
are, but that will fool 'em, guess.
They've got good noses, but down un-
der water they can't get our scent"
What Uncle Jim didn't know was
that all the time two pairs Of sharp
eyes were watching them.

are travelling, looking for new fishing
waters" said he. Il know every inch
of that brook. Below where you were
there is some open water. Those Of
ters will make for that and will, I
suspect, stay around there for while.
How would you like to 60 with me
to set some traps and see If we can
catch those fellows?"
Bright and early the next morning
the boy and the old trapper were In
the woods, on their way down the
course of the frozen brook. When
they came to the place where the
fight between the Dog and the young
Otter had been the day before the old
trapper studied the prints in the
snow and read the story written there
as easily as if he had seen all that
had happened.
"It was an old Otter and a well
grown young one" said Uncle Jim.
"They were travelling separately, and
the young one met the Dog. The old
one was somewhere down the brook
and heard the fight and came up here
in a hurry. You can tell that by these
tracks. After the fight they went of
down the brook together. See, here
are their tracks Well just follow
them down until we find out what
has become of them. OF course, they
may have kept right on going, but I
have an idea they will stay around
below here a little way. They will go
until they reach the open water, so
we will keep back from the brook
until we are opposite that place"
He led the way and the boy fol-
lowed. They kept well away from the

Measure Designed to Prevent

The bill designed to prevent blind
ness in infants born in the District
will go to the White House for sigma
ture within few days as result of
Its passage by the Senate yesterday.
It already has passed the House.
The bill to increase Washington S
quota Of cadets at West Point from

yesterday, is on its way to the House
for action.
A similar bill to raise the local quota
of midshipmen at the Naval Academy
from to II was postponed in the
Senate yesterday, but will have an
other chance for consideration next
week. Both bills seek to place the
District on parity with the smaller
States Of the Union.

I partner, very poor player. had bid
seven spades. he wisely decided that
, the partnership might just as we'll
have the benefit of having him as
declarer, so he bid seven no trump.
When West opened the jack of
clubs. the hand did not look very
promising Mr.. Becker could count
IL sure tricks. While the heart
fnesse might produce a twelfth. the
thirteenth could be garnered only by
a possible squeeze on East. Mr..
Becker did not believe that West had
led from the king of clubs, so he went
right up with dummys ace and took
a heart fnesse. When the queen of
hearts held, Mr.. Becker cashed his ace
of diamonds. and then ran off eight
spade tricks. East, of course, was
squeezed, since he could not retain the
king Of clubs and protect hearts at the
same time, and Mr.. Becker made his
lucky grand slam.
While we believe any fine player
would have made the contract, we
must commend Mr.. Becker on his
foresight in not allowing his partner
to play the hand at seven spades,
since it is quite probable that that
player would not have made it.
