Marry-GO-
Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

There is something about
these spoiled darlings-these
careless, irrepressihle, irresisti-
BILE dynamos-call it magnetism,
personality, charm or whatever
you like-that makes everybody
and everything else seem flat,
colorless and tame beside them.
The woman who has loved one
Of them may lose him or di-
vorce him; she may even recover
from her infatuation for him
and fall in love and marry again.
But no other man ever goes to
her head or makes the world
go round for her, like that.
You know how it is. Once a
man has acquired a taste for
cocktails and champagne, he
may cut it out and stick to but
termilk and ginger ale for the
rest of his life.
But somewhere deep down in
his subconsciousness, there is al.
ways the suppressed longing for
the old, glamorous, light-hearted
days-even the headaches.
And a woman who has been
taken for dizzy run-around by
a born woman charmer may
"come to-; but there is always
the poignant memory of his
kisses and a sigh for the old
heartaches. At least, they were
exciting. Never a dull moment!
There is something appealing
about that sort of man, which
pulls at every woman's maternal
heartstrings and makes her feel
that he needs to be taken care
of"-and that she was especially
ordained by heaven to save
him" from all the other women.
Oh well, go ahead and save
him." if you can-but don't try
to save him for YOURSELF. Be
cause he was born to be every
woman's romance-but NO WON
ans husband! His heart is not
a home-it's a hotel!

THE more we read about world affairs the more
i we would like to chuck the whole mess and for
get about it.
But you can't forget about such things as are going
on in the world today.
You can't forget for instance, that representatives
of 50 nations at Geneva have declared
49,, p', Japan guilty Of acts against civilians IN
'O''' ""'' China (which have aroused horror and
indignation throughout the world"
Japan won't like that, but she isn't quitting.
Grimly, she masses half million troops in North
China facing Russia bombs more Chinese cities, at
acks helpless fishing junks with submarines. In Short
REPEATS all the acts which the world calls atrocities
and adds new ones.
And Soviet Russia masses troops on its side of the
border and calls its ambassador home from Marking
for advice

Chides "OId Fashioned"

So, Old Fashioned has lost his
respect for the ladies of Wash
ington? Too bad. But I feel we
can struggle along without it,
for If seeing a few women smok-
ing on the street Can act which
is strictly their own affair, by
the way, causes loss Of his re-
spect, well-I guess it wasn't
worth much.
If you are so "Old Fashioned"
you should remember to LET
him who is without sin cast the
first stone"
Men smoke on the street and
nothing is thought of it, but
because women are just begin
ming to do so and it is not so
prevelant, along comes an old
granny like Old Fashioned and
thinks he has an excuse for his
discourtesy.
Granted he saw six women
smoking on the street, there
were hundreds who were not.
But maybe the old dear's con-
science is more at ease since he
lit on an excuse for pushing
in ahead and not tipping his
hat.
He really owes a vote of
thanks to the six women
smokers he saw for giving him
his flimsy excuse for his prob
able natural rudeness.
Perhaps if "Old Fashioned"
tried one he'd be less Of a fault
finder and critic and more Of a
good sport. A SMOKER,
(But not on the street.)

Here's a Booster

I'm glad to see so much en-.
thusiasm over feeding needy
school children.
To those who feel they are
"dunned" too often by the Red
Cross, Community Chest and
other public charities, one can
only reply that they have ceased
to become good neighbors."
Therefore, in order to insure
success Of the drive now under
way to help needy children have
hot lunches in school this win
ter, I am in favor of making .
canvass Of every business office
and Government department in
Washington.
Since charity begins at home,
I firmly believe that everyone in
Washington should make a sub
stantial voluntary contribution
to this worthy cause. J.M.G.

hot lunches, and with no funds
available, I should like to make
the following suggestion:
Let every person in the Dis
trict go without one meal on q
designated Sunday, and turn
over the money they would have
spent for that meal to the COM
mittee in charge Of raising
funds for the lunches.
If the people go without just
one meal, they would realize
more the plight Of these poor
children, under-nourished and
trying to do their work.
The money from that one
meal would go far towards max
ing these children, well, strong
and happy. CT

Both Sides
Of Picture

There is one SIDE OF Cne pic
ture-a picture so cherished one
hardly dares to raise a hand In
criticism. And yet-there is
criticism, and long overdue.
For to every Old Doc who
moves like a ministering angel
through our mortal misery, there
are others who flock as vultures
to profit by human pain -.
others who have made a cruel
racket of the noblest of pro-
LESSONS.
And so today, outraged society
is debating the pros and cons
of sOCIALIzED MEDICINE -.
And again Young America
takes it's stand, as it does on
every other important social
issue.
This time it is ]. HERBERT
LUND, of ROCKFORD, ILL.,, who
is up in arms against MERGE
NARY MEDICOS.
Dear Miss Robinson:
"I'd like to speak on a sub
ject which is interesting many
serious young people-namely,
the sabotage of the medical pro-
fession.
Developed
Bitterness
During my university years
I met many 'pre-med' students,
and it was then I developed my
present bitterness toward mer-
cenary doctors.
whenever possible, I would
ask these medical students just
what they intended to accom-
plish for the advancement Of
medical science.
"OF THE SCORES CUES
TONED, I CAN REMEMBER
ONLY ONE WHO SEEMED
SERIOUSLY DEVOTED TO
SCIENCE AND HUMANITY.
THE REST WE'RE BRAzENLY
OUT FOR MONEY AND So
CIAL PRESTIGE.
II am not limiting that all are
like this. But I do say that
with such degraded standards,
is it any wonder that people are
left to die on emergency tables
while doctors and hospital at
taches ghoulishly check the vic.
TINS credit rating?
us 1t any wonder that dying
people are turned away from
some private hospitals and forced
to be driven many pain-wracked
miles to a public or charitable
institution for treatments?
"Of course there is the other
side of the issue, which brings
forth the fact that too often
the doctor is never paid for his
services, sometimes even being
called to deliver a second child
where he might not yet have
been paid for the delivery Of
the first.

sion can get away from its mer.
cenary tendencies and can pro-
duce more men like Lister, Pas

would be for the good of hui

as policemen, firemen and other
groups whose duties are to pro-
tect and enhance the public
