could have been controlled. But, in
point Of fact, the vehicle was moving
downhill with such force that the i'm
pact with the bridge abutment hurled
the bus heavy motor clear Of the
wreckage" The explosion, naturally,
followed.
Analysed to its basic elements, such q
story shows an adventurous violation Of
fundamental principle Of safety. Re-
sponsibility, it seems, ought to increase
with the number OF lives involved. A
certain normal instinct requires of the
operator of motor car a decent regard
for those who ride with him. Thought
full drivers appreciate that circumstance
and govern themselves accordingly.
And the same observation justly may
be registered for the owners Of bus
lines as class. But, competing as they
do with air transport and railroad COM
panies they are not cautious enough
about the risk inherent in accelerated
schedules The recent tragedy of the
Tamiami Trail in Florida proved that
conclusively.
Yet passengers also are at fault.
The speed problem traces back to the
propensity of multitudes of people for
hurry. A strange psychology for "sav-
ing time" has developed in the human
mind during the past half-century. The
old axiom which affirms that "the more
haste, the less speed" has been rejected
by a generation which wants to go
places" in panic rushes. And it is
logical that such madness should be
paid for at a fearful price.
However, the public is learning. Even
last year, when 38,500 automobile deaths
were chronicled, the National Safety
Council reported: Nineteen thirty-six
will go down in safety history as year
of marked advancement in all kinds of
safety activity. but also a period in
which more travel more employment,
and high temperatures presented tre-
mendous obstacles in the path of acci"
dent reduction Many cities, many
States and many industries, by carry
ing out well-rounded safety programs,
demonstrated that national control can
be achieved when known remedies really
receive a Nation wide application"
Perhaps, the Nation is becoming
safety conSciouS" only because it is
weary of reading of sudden death on
the highways.

Bobbed Tails and Clipped
Ears for Sake of Style
TO the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Through your columns would like to
protest the bobbing off of dogs tails and
clipping their ears for the mere sake
of style or show
I am in no way averse to the using
of surgeons scalpel where an opera
ton is necessary to the health of mans
best dumb friend, but, without the
least shadow of a doubt, the clipping of
dogs ears, and bobbing their tails,
and plucking, for style or show, is not
only wanton cruelty to animals, but real
torture, and I personally think that
such practices should be done away with,
and strongly recommend similar treat
ment to those who are guilty Of such
practices, ALLEN M. ERGOOD.

Fascist Birthday Fury.

March % marked the eighteenth ami
verSary of the founding of Fascism.
Mussolini seized upon the occasion to
indulge in belligerent outburst directed
at Italy's foreign foes and detractors,
especially those who happen to occupy
public office, pulpits and editorial sane
tums in Great Britain. Before the
TRADE ran its course, II Duce adjured
the frenzied throng in the Piazza
Venezia to cultivate the virtues of a
long memory and never forget the siege
of sanctions imposed upon Italy in an
effort to halt the conquest of Ethiopia.
THE Italian people know how to wait"
he thundered. I'VE waited forty years
to avenge Adowa but we avenged it,"
Having shouted this defiance in the
same breath in which he referred in
ferentially to recent eyents in Britain,
the conclusion is inescapable that it is
that country on which he is calling down
maledictions and which he threatens
with retribution in days to come.
Various developments in the recent

sic was invited to attend the coronation
of King George. In Parliament and also
by no less eminent a churchman than
the Archbishop of Canterbury Fascist
massacre reprisals at Adds Ababa for

lini's proclamation of protectorship
over Islam, during his spectacular trip
across Libyab aroused the ire of the
British, because of it's undisguised chal-
lenge of their own overlordship of the
Moslem universe. To cap the climax
of these successive indignities, as Musso-
lini views them, came the rout OF
Frances italian volunteers" north of
Madrid, depicted in the British press as
"a second Caporetto." Finally, there was
Londons official re1nonstrance against
reported dispatch of thousands of adj
ditional italian troops to Spain, in
violation of the February non-interven-
ton pact, and Romes truculent refusal
to withdraw any Fascist soldiers now
fighting there.
Due allowance must be made for
Mussolini's bellicose ebullitions on fes-
tive occasions, but Tuesdays explosion
leaves no shadow of doubt that Anglo
Italian relations have again entered a
phase of strain which bodies no good for
peace, especially in the Mediterranean,
where the interests of the two countries
directly clash. The January entente is
obviously dead letter.. II Duce's ad-
monition- to the Italian people "to
remember and prepared" dooms Europe
to tenterhooks for the indefinite future.
1t is not difficult to discern in the die
tator's Illumination that he takes note Of
Britain's determination, through expan-
sion Of her armed strength, to prevent a
repetition Of the humiliation suffered at
Italy's hands in 1896. Perhaps this
realization explains the latest eruption
of the Mussolini volcano.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES TRAcRWELL.

they can get nothing but the superficial
meanings Of what they have read.
A genius, indeed, might be able to read
so, but most honest readers Of books
are not geniuses. For them the slower
pace is necessary, and now come certain
persons to tell us that such slow reading
is better for the eyes, too.
Going backward every time one picks
up a book, at least to the extent OF a
few pages, in order to tie the new with
the old Is a very good habit, especially
in such works as lack the thrill Of the
narrative.
Keeping a few good books, although
perhaps heavy" in the common sense,
slowed away in the desk for reading at
odd periods is a wholesome habit.
It has a charm of its own in the very
fact that one keeps good books nearby.
Why should an office desk be given
over entirely to papers, carbons and the
like?
Let the proper functions of the desk
be the main thing, but permit some of
the best books to have an honored
place, too.
What are books, after all, but mani
festations of mind?
And what is desk, any desk but
place where mind is supposed to func-
ton?
There Is something eminently fitting
about good book either on or in a
desk. Even the busiest person Is not
always busy. Not II he has any sense)
The rhythm of work is something. He
who slaves away may amass few more
dollars before he is taken off, but he
cannot take them with him; and there
IS large body of sensible opinion to
the effect that he who diversif1es his
activities, even as his investments, is
much the better of.
A good diversification is a good book.
None better!
A good book is a good diversihcation.
1t is not imperative that every book
be read through as quickly as possible
Indeed, that very common idea may
seem all wrong, from one standpoint,
and that is that it often seems to be
merely hurry, rather, to get through
than anything else.
1t is as if the reader were tired before
he begins and really is afraid that unless
he hurries on with the thing he may
give it over entirely.
Many persons hold themselves so re-
lentlessly to the pursuit that they give
the idea of a dog after a rabbit, when
they read, rather than of human being
enjoying himself with book.
X
Those persons, particularly, who are
fond Of books as physical things, who
like to feel them now and then, look at
them and rejoice in their closeness will
have few at hand, wherever they are,
wherever they go.
There is always time for a good book
An Office desk is capacious. Surely
there is room in most of them for a
volume or two, say something which is
a little difficult, or extremely So
A few pages now and then, and before
the reader knows it he has done some
thing that he has promised himself
to do.
This is comfortable feeling, as we'll

Why not read a good book?
Evening star., 1937-03-25

Busy people who have little time to
read may be interested in the plan OF q
local executive, who finds 1t expedient
to keep books slowed away in his desk
for those odd times
In this way he manages to get through
many books in a year which he other
wise would not have time for.
These books are always non-flction.
so that nothing is lost by the haphazard
manner OF reading. While some per-
sons profess to be able to read novels IN
this way, our busy executive is not OF
their number.
He confesses that he likes to take his
fiction straight" which means at one
sitting, If possible, not more than two
or three, usually, in most cases, as he
is a rapid reader.
No doubt there is a great deal Of time
in the life of even the busiest person
when little reading may be INDUCED in.
Just few minutes now and then and
before one knows 1t the book is read.
A reader thus makes a serial, in a
sense, out of even the most difficult
volume. This has its interesting aspects,
but far greater than that is the plain
fact that in reading in snatches, as It
were, one must work little harder.
In work of fiction the story follows
on, no matter how long one has been
away from it, but in volume on eco
nomics, ethics, philosophy or any Of the
hundred and one matters conveniently
listed as miscellaneous" the reader
usually must read backward as we'll as
forward
The famous thread of the argument,
IN other words, is not so easily grasped
again if one has read but few pages
several days before.
Then little judicious reading back
ward Is essential.
This enforces slow reading.
There can be little doubt that many
persons tend to read too quickly.
The pace of the age demands speed
in all things.
Fortunate is he or she who refuses to
permit this pace to intrude itself into
the mental life, especially that which
has to do with the reading life.
Not only are the eyes injured, some
believe, by the practice of "skimming"
through a DOOR, but certainly Cne grasp
Of the written matter is not as good as
If the reader goes slower.
To read the words is one thing; actu-
ally to understand what one has read is
distinctly another. Every one knows
how that is. Only the most boastful
reader of books but would admit, at
least in private, just how much he has
read without really understanding it!
Often greater degree of intellectual
honesty is demanded than the average
person possesses for the reader to come
to this sensible realization and decide
at last that he has been reading too
swiftly for his own good.

Every one has read stories Of certain
great men and how they excelled at

Dusk by the River.

Dusk by the RlVer.
The sinking sun sends out long rays
That on the far hills quiver
The while the shifting sunlight plays
Golden along the river.
Behind the hills the sun descends
Blue mists engulf them. Shadows
Shrouding in dusk the river bends,
Come creeping from the meadows.
O blessed, blessed eventide,
When the town-bred impulse ceases
And man takes of his mask Of pride
And his white soul releases!
