A girl, still in Elsie "OOinSO"
her teens, struggling to get an
education. Working in restau-
rant. Ever been a hasher? Know
what it means to go shuffTlng
around in a daZe shouting
orders from a throat raw with ia
tigue swollen feet, skidding
over the greasy floor thin
shoulders straining under a brutal
load?
Shivering down to work through
the icy ooze of dawn crawling
back to your bed when the lights
are guttering out. And, in between
times, trying to get something
into your head! Facts, figures,
dates and diagrams into your
dazed, sick head into body
that's dizzy-doped for sleep.
REAL COURAGE
Ever know what it meant to be
young, like that? Dorothy Root
does. Real name? Yes. And she
gave me her home address, too.
So do thousands like her. Weary,
shabby young things, fighting for
an education. LaShing their half
grown bodies to get a college de-
gree. No proms for them! No
pretty clothes. No rah-rah campus
carryings-on. Drudgery, rags .
lonely, dog-tired hours in dreary
attic rooms.
That's the picture Dorothy un-
consciously told, talking about
Young America for the column.
Self-pity? Not word of it! Bitter
ness? Never a hint! Chin up, fists
clenched, this kid is bucking the
game. And sees in her struggle
no greater courage than a million
others display. Game little scout!

DR.. Tarak Nath Das, diStin-
guished writer and lecturer on in
ternational relations, told me this
three or four months ago, and
made certain predictions of Mus
solini'S immediate moves in the
world chess game. Their fulfill
ment has been uncanny. If DR..
DaS could "dope" horse races the
way he does affairs, he would
break all the bookies in the world.
DR.. Frederick B. Robinson, en-
lightened and wide-awake presi-
dent of the College Of the City Of
New York, has enlisted DR.. Das to
lecture, during the next semester,
on "The Near East in World Poll
tics" and Modern India" The
selection of the East Indian saw
ant, author of many books and
former lecturer at the Catholic
University Of Washington, is in
line with DR.. Robinson's drive for
a broad, informed and liberal edu-
cational outlook in world affairs.
NOT THIS YEAR
This writer can testify not only
to DR.. Das' encyclopedia informa-
tion, but to his penetrating and
prophetic insight into the bewil-
dering snarl of current interna-
tional relationships. Upon receiv-

asked him a few questions which
are agitating us less informed

Machiavelli again, political
PHILOSOPHERS are something after
the fact, rather than before the

philosophers in the world today
is subordinate to the two basic
facts of credit and raw ma
teriaIS. The nations which have
them are going to dominate, and
the nations which lack them are
going to get in line, in my opin-
ion, without war;"
"What about the new alliance
between Germany, Italy ana
Japan?"
RUSSIA MOVES RIGHT

Isaac Dee Kelley, prominent ST..
Louis physician.
Representative Charles Arthur
Anderson is a modest, quiet, new
man. There is no suggestion Of
the fire-eater in his voice as
he reluctantly answers questions
about the stirring series Of events
which landed him first in the hos
pital and then in Congress. Six
persons were indicted in the Kelley
case. One was murdered with
machine-gun SlugS for turning
States evidence. One Is still at
large and the other four are in the
penitentiary.
The incident that sent Repre-
sentative Anderson to the hospital
occurred during the trial Of the
Kelley case. Mr.. Anderson, then
prosecuting attorney, worked late
at his office on october 9, 1888,
after convicting Angelo RoSegrant
of completely in the snatch"
He was on the way home in his
car when, suddenly, at a curve in
the road, another car swerved into
his machine, forcing him to pile
up in a ditch.
Prosecutor Anderson was pinned
under his car as the other car,
which he believes was driven by
friends of the accused. sped away,
leaving the horn of their car
wedged in the fender Of the auto
mobile crumpled on the body of
the prosecutor.
The prosecutor was in a serious
condition when rescued from the
wreck, and was forced to remain
in the hospital until February,
1884. Several times blood transfu-
sionS were necessary to save his
life.
Now that he has come to Con-
gress he expresses a great deal of
interest in the kidnapping laws of
the land.
"The Lindbergh law ought to
be changed" he said. "Under
it the State and Federal Govern.
ment gives the family seven days
in which to make contact with
the kidnapers. That ought to
be changed.
"Kidnapers are the lowest

afraid of the 'whiskers.' That's
what they call the Federal
officers. They don't want to
tangle with Uncle Sam. If that
part of the law were repealed so
the Federal officers could start
on the case as soon as the
snatch had been made, it would
go a long way toward stopping
this racket"
