To-day-'I met Him in Paris, "
starring Claudette Colbert and fea-
turing Melvyn Douglas and Robert
Young, is a pleasant little comedy
that makes no pretense of being
other than a swift unreeling of a
superficial love yarn that you can
read any day in the widely circu
lated nickel magazines. 1t also
gives the charming Miss Colbert a
chance to display a varied ward
robe of what the current tourist to
Paris and the Swiss Alps should
wear. And it's quite display.

seems that we should be able

Human lives are much more
valuable than anything that
can be bought with money-in
the eyes Of the majority Of
Americans. And when you get
right down to it it seems to
many Of us that the lives Of our
young men are useful principally
to help save properties for those
who have been able to accumu-

I'll venture the prediction
right now that more convincing

Three-Minute
Journey
BY TEMPLE MANNING

BY TEMPLE MtACNNA1NU
In recent years it has been
the thing for one country to
receive attention from the tour.
ist trade for a season or two.
Last year it was Austria.
During that period it was
quite the thing to rent a hunting
lodge in the Carpathians, take
a cure at Bad Gastein or spend
the summer in Vienna.
This year those in search OF
something different have con-
verged on Poland, and that
country is now basking in the
spotlight of tourist approval.
We are glad that Poland has
been discovered, or rather, re-
discovered, for it has much that
must appeal to those who seek
the unusual and the beautiful.
And Americans in particular
will admire the enterprise and
grit Of a people who since the
war have done a marvellous job
of putting their country on the
map"
The scenery of Poland is ex-
traordinary in its diversity and
beauty, and the same goes for
the life of the country.
The alpine majesty Of the
Tatras, the Kassubian region,
with its hundreds Of lakes, its
waterfalls and swift torrents,
Bialowieza National Park, the
largest virgin forest in Europe,
in which the wild boar and giant
wolf still roam, the delicate
Polesie region, with its broad
meadows and lake, and the fan
tastically shaped hills Of Pie
niny all make up a lovely pic
ture.
Then there is old Crakow
lively Warsaw, up-to-the-minute
Gdynia, created out Of reclaimed
marshland but a few years ago
and other interesting towns.

In the same issue that we read

Proud of Justice Black

Why all the objection to
Justice Black taking a seat on
the Supreme Court bench mere
ly because he was once a men,
Der of the Khan?
Did any one object because
other justices were members Of
the MaSons or Shrine or any
other fraternal orders? OF
course not.
It is only bigoted persons who
are objecting now, and their
objections will avail them
naught.
Justice Black is a wonderful

nation will be proud Of him as
in time he hands down fair
and impartial verdicts from the
bench. K. I. G. Y.

other people get more.
Other people achieve popu-
larity and success on half your
work. But you go on, week
after week, in the same old rut.
And nobody ever gives you a
chance
Why not?
Life the
Same Rut
ECAUSE YOU DON'T
REALLY WANT A CHANCE.
You think you do . :. you say
you do. ;. but If someone act
ually offered you a chance.
you'd make mess Of it. Within
a month, you'd be back in the
same old rut-AND GLAD OF
TT.
You don't believe that, do
you? But look yourself over,
analyze yourself honestly, and
you'll see that it's true.
You say that you want a
fresh chance. But stop and
think what that change would
imply. First, it would imply
CHANGE. And you don't like
change. Yes, you'd like nicer
clothes, a handsomer car, a
finer house.
But you don't want to make
any changes IN YOURSELF.
You don't want to throw away
old ideas, old habits, old preju-
dices, and develop new ones.
Watch yourself when some
one criticizes you suggests
some new method Of doing your
work hints that you're get
ting stale says something
that shocks you asks you
to do something you don't like.
and you'll show instantly how
much you hate change.
You may beef about your
present status quo, but when
it comes right down to brass
tackS, you cling to it furiouSly.
New Chance
Is q Gamble
Then there's RISK. A fresh
chance is always gamble. You
can't accept a new deal with
out giving up the old one. And
maybe you won't like it. You'll
be facing new conditions, new
people, new tasks-a new place,
perhaps.
You're bound to feel upset and
uncertain-even downright mis-
cradle and lonely for a while.
Will it be worth it? How can
you be sure that you'll ever
again be safe and sure?
Also there's RESPONSIBLE
ITY. A fresh chance always
implies more or different re-
sponsibiIties. You're used to
your present situation.
It no longer worries you. But
you wouldn't feel at home in
new circumstances. Maybe you'd
do things wrong.
Then people might blame
you or, worse still, laugh
at you. You go goose-pimply at
the very thought!

Yourself out of that rut and get
