Why Not Face 1t?

What's all this hullaballoo
about Justice Black and the
Ku Klux Khan expected to do
anyhow?
From one point of view it is
no more than should be ex-
pected in a representative form
of government that all elements
major ones at least-should
have spokesman in key places.
There's no doubt in any read
ing persons mind that the por-
ton Of "prejudiced" in our
population is no inconsiderable
one. Nor is it localized.
While the deep South" Is
perhaps the admitted center of
this sort Of thinking, there is no
portion of our country that is
free Of it in some active form.
And if that is the way we are
why not face it and treat it as
any other major problem should
be treated?
Take it out in the open, study
and analyze, discuss and seek
to gain some sort of understand
ing. It's no trifling job, to be
sure. But neither is it some
thing new. From the reams of
publicity which has been given
it in the past and currently it
would seem that most of those
who like to consider themselves
more or less well-informed, would
have some definite opinions.

By HELEN ROWLAND

A man Is never half so proud
at the thought of getting into
who's Who" as he is when the
doorman of a swanky nightclub
greets him as an equal and calls
him by name.
Love is the source Of most OF
a mans beautiful virtues-and
the most overworked excuse for
ninety per cent of his sins.
When d man is fishing, hunt
ing or thinking. he wants no
woman around but no man ever
suspects that there can possibly
be time wher busy woman
can't do whatever she's doing a
little letter if he is there to "ad-
wise" her.
It is always a shock to a man
to start MAKING love to a show
girl and then discover that her
intentions are honorable.
The Eternal Triangle is COM
pletely out of date these days.
AS soon as a modern woman dis
covers what is going on, she
promptly turns it into four

Some men would like to have
the arms of an octopus when 1t

Can't See Black on Bench

What does the President mean
by nominating a man who is q
member of that abhorrent or.
ganization, the Khan, to the
highest court Of the land?
I am not a Jew, a Catholic or

strongly to such action.

a right to blockade China
in time of war; but so
far, for some reason, they
have chosen not to call
this a war. If they did,
