Man WeIghtIng Dads Against His Future
Rx RRuCE CAPTION

There iB nothing ln tho least sen. Bational about Paul D. Sears new book, "ThiB iB Our World" tUni' yergiLy of Oklahoma PpesB; S2,b0). Proseasor Sears writes quietly and internationally, and knows oil tho subtiet!es of the Rrt of undeFState' inenk C.,
 Yet in It's implications, This fB Our World 1s c profoundly sen. gationai book; sensational, in that ag an examination of the sort Of world we irhabit it makes quite obs VlouN the fact that our world may one Of these days decide to got along without us in the future.
 Any society, whether t De so' ei0ty Of human beings or Of pine trees, says Profegsor Sears, is able to exist because the unimaginably complex forces which go to make I'D It's environment are in oqui- librium. During the last century or so, man has been engaged in t,psetting this equilibrium at c prodigious rate. With his fiirac. ilo.w machinery, he is getting himself farther and farther out Of key with the natural world on which his very existence b based; furthermore, to keep this Tnactin- cry going he s using up .rre- placeable capital--coal, oil. ore, soil and the like-at a ruinous rate.
 It Is quite possible continues Professor Sears, that eventually man will pay the price exacted of all organisms which get out of harmony with natures environ ment--cxtinction And that "even- tually" may not be 50 terribly far of.
 Professor Sears is not out to produce Q shocker, and he is no pessImist, either. We can still re- dress the balance. he says. and we can do it within the frame work of our democratic institu- tions--if we have the sense to recognize the problem, and the ability to see that it outweighs every other problem that faces us. But we haven't any too much tim.
 Professor Sears earlier book. Deserts on the March," was . great work which helped open the nations eyes to a grave problem. IT think this is another great book, and wish that a great many Americans would read it.

Well, another football season has come and gone. We suppose new records have been run up at the stadium turnstiles. Certainly football today Is q big business like unto the automobile industry and others. You can't blame scholastic institu- tons to go in for 1t big when 1t helps to build dormitories, create scholarships. etc. The next step in college football will actually be professional teams, we pre- Suf1e.

 Happy New Year?
 The talk along Broadway the other day was that the French Cas- ino, which suddenly gave up the ghost, will reopen in time to in- veigle the Christmas and New Years trade. But what doesn't seem to have been settled is this: Who will take over the premises? The choice appears to be running in two directions. one combine would like to have George White that brief leave from Hollywood and stage Q Scandals" fin the giant ca- baret. And another has asked Billy Rose If he won't bring on his "Show of Shows" from San Francisco in time foe the holiday season. Any way. the nigSt life on Broadway may come fully alive again by Yuletide.

leaves in plenty and other things to
hide beneath. Did you ever see .
magician make things disappear be-
fore your very eyes, and then reappear
Just as mysteriously? Well, that Is
the way those babies Of Mrs. Longbill
could disappear. One instant they
would be running about, looking for
something to eat, and the next
instant, mother having signaled, they
would simply vanish. OF course, they
were right there all the time. They
disappeared by the very simple method
Of squatting among the leaves and not
50 much as winking. Then their little
coats just sort Of melted into the sur
roundings, so that 1t was very, very
difficult to make them out.
No one knew better than did their
mother the many dangers that would
beset those darlings Of hers while they
were learning to look out for them
selves. So, as she proudly led them
about in the little swamp near the
Smiling Pool, she worried. She
couldn't help it. Fortunately, obedi-
ence seemed to have been born In
those youngsters, for that very first
day they would hide at her signal, Just

Bedtime Stories
Pride and Worry.

Mrs. Longbill strutted little as she
led the way it is not to be wondered at.
The first lesson began right away.
Children who leave home almost as
soon as they are born, like the Grouse
children and the Woodcock children
and the Bob White children and some
others, have to learn lessons while
they are still babies And the first
lesson all have to learn is to hide when
mother gives the hide signal They
must learn to hide under the nearest
things at hand, leaf or some dead
grass, or if there is nothing to hide
under, to flatten themselves on the
ground. And, no matter what hap
pens, there they must stay until
mother gives the signal to come to her,
the signal that all Is we'll.
OF course, mother was careful to
lead them only where there were dead

A commemorative celebration OF

You'll md 1t true on every side.
That worry often goes with pride.

1HAt VOEIS Olten goes Win
old Mother Nature.
TT Is true that worry and pride
very often go together, and fire.
quently the greater the pride the
L greater the worry. Some people
are proud Of their possessions and are
constantly worrying for fear they may
lose some Of them. Some people are
proud of their appearance and con-
stantly worry lest something may hap
pen to spoil their good looks. Foolish
but all too true. Most parents are
proud of their children and worry,
worry, worry lest some harm befall
them.
That Is the way it was with Mrs.
Longbill the Woodcock. Out of the
precious eggs on which she and Long
bill had taken turns in patiently Sit
ting for three long weeks had come
four downy babies, like four tiny
chickens. And was Mrs. Longbill
proud Of them!
Did you ever see such fine, strong,
healthy babies in all your life2" she
demanded Of Longbill. Without wait

she told him by her actions that she

It was well that this was so, for

she gave the hide signal, and instantly
she was obeyed. Then Mrs. Longbill
made mistake. She went forward to

Longbill said nothing. Perhaps
down inside he chuckled. Every
Spring since he and Mrs Longbill had
had their first family he had heard
similar statements from Mrs. Long
bill. He himself was proud of those
children, not as proud as their mother,
perhaps, but proud, just the same.
And, in truth, they were children for
any Woodcock parents to be proud Of.
