Ry HELEN ROWLAND

A brand.new complaint from
a modern young man has come
to my desk. He says that the
girl Of today is "unappealing."
The debutante, he asserts, Is cold,
unsympathetic and wears .
poker face: while the business
girl is more interesting, but
"hard.boiled."
That is a terrible indictment.
Because appeal" whether sex
appeal or emotional appeal, is
what every woman likes to think
she has; and her yearnings for
"eye-appeal" is what makes the
beauty-specialists rich.
Still, it seems to me that the
modern girl should be a refresh
ing change to the male sex from
the old-fashioned girl who over.

the old-fashioned woman into

Probably that is why she Is

is not constantly playing on o

She may not have the soft,
coquettish, clinging ways, which

The official German commentators solemnly ask Mr..
Roosevelt to remember the disasters that overlook Will
son and the United States because went into the
World War. We ask them to remember the things
that overlook Germany because went into the World
War. And we'd advise the japanese advisers of Mr.
Roosevelt to ponder those same things.
There is another answer we think, to the home critics
who see President Roosevelt starting down the road to
war via his Chicago speech and the State Department
Wy denunciation of Japan.
We have come to the rather
~" U''" ~ pessimistic conclusion that all
roads in the end lead to state of peace breeds
a state of war; then state of breeds state Of
peace; or so it has been throughout human history;
and we don see any signs of change this time.
The best single thing Americans hope for from
President Roosevelt and his successors is that they will
keep US out of long they can And that they
will keep the nation at all times prepared to win any
war that may come to it. Under Roosevelt fairly
we'll prepared. Under Hoover weren't.
The American people almost unanimously hate war,
and not feel that worth the life of single United
States Marine to defend China from the japanese.
Nevertheless we should remember that
O"' "O'S the Chinese fighting battle, so

which, if it conquers and organizes China into pow
erful mainland sarapy, will then most probably turn
all that organized power against US.
Therefore, it is ridiculous for u.s. through the opera
ton of neutrality laws to be supplying Japan in
this and to be refusing supplies to China. Congress
enacted these laws, but it does if the President
could somehow manipulate them so as to give China
at least equal b"eak with Japan tapping our goods

But neither do like to the United States in

tralty law; and thus China could be helped to prolong

would be all to the good for us.

Various people, includ-

that President Roosevelt
by these steps is taking
us along the same road to

note will lead to another

This has made him the idol Of
womanhood and young love.
But there are a few old Tories

Edward, first Of all, is man.
Hardened, perhaps, by war and
experience, but softened by a
woman's love. This is all the
more reason why he is just
plain human.
Let's leave them alone when
they come to America. The press
and public can ruin him in
America, or they can let him
retain his respect for America.
So the best thing we can do
when he brings his American
wife to these shores is to well
come him with gusto and let our
hospitality be manifested by our
conduct toward them.
No glaring headlines, please.
No wild, unfounded "rumors.
No sensationalism, no scandal.
