Female Is Not So Deadly
AS Male---On Racing Track

Kipling was wrong, dead wrong,
when he wrote, THE female of the
species is more deadly than the
male"
At least, he was wrong so far
as horses are concerned, accord
ing to statistics given by DR.. Cal
vim P. Stone, professor of psychol-
ogy at Standard University, before
the meeting of the American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Science.
And those who play the races
should study his findings with
care. He discovers, though he
gives no reason:

won the Kentucky Derby.

stltution and generally recognized
as one of the leading scholars O.
our day, had this to say:
My personal opinion is that
the diSmemberment of Czecho-
sloVakia at the Peace of Munich
was the most significant news
event of this year.
Here is an international crime
which will have a whole line of
terrible consequences. Nothing,
not even the World War, has
happened in my lifetime that is
of greater import than the aban-
donment of CzechoSlovakia by
the European democratic powers.
The japanese action in China
illustrates the same principle.
1t is not so much what Japan
does to China as the Stultified
attitude of the rest of the world.
No one seems to see the future
implications of this action.
What has become of human
uprightness and human hon
eSty? The immediate gain, for
nations as well as humans, is
nothing. It is only what is
gained by intellectual and moral
superiority that counts in the
end. An inborn probity, beyond
virtue, IN man, reVoltS against
anything unjust"

war of Spain and China, there
threatened to be added the hor-
rorS of a war between four pow
erful European nations.
Because men and women of
those countries despairingly pre-
pared for annihilation; because
the crisis suddenly passed and
a respite has been afforded the
leaders of these countries to
come to a possible agreement
without further bloodshed. I
consider the courageous action
of Mr.. Chamberlain in arrang-
ing and attending the Munich
conference to be the outstand-
ing news OF the year.
"It is without precedent and
we can not be sure he has sue
ceeded in maintaining peace, but
at least a great nation has taken
the first great step toward

PLAN EXPLAINED

The Governments plan, officials
explained, is for training 10000
civilian pilots annually to create
a reservoir of manpoWer upon
which the Army and Navy air
services will draw for flight per-
sonnel in event of another world
war.
Three hundred residence cen
tiers, now operated by the National
Youth Administration in coopera-
ton with State universities,
normal colleges and vocational
schools, will provide the founda-
ton training under the plan, it
was revealed.
The NYA centers, officials said,
will act as "separators," bringing
to the top the cream of the
mechanically talented among the
10000 enrollees for intensive
training in Army-Navy and private
aviation ground schools.
