tant mission to perform In his am
bassadorial capacity. This is two
fold.
He believes It his business in the
hrst place to throw his whole weight
into an effort to insure peace. Beyond
that he Is anxious to get the dictators
and the democracies together to work
out ways and means to avert the eco
nomic disaster for which in his belief
the world Is now eoasting straight and
fast.
Imysef have heard him express the
utmost concern for the economic fu-
ture Of the world. He draws an alto
gether gloomy picture of utter collapse
which he declares Is threatened unless
the powers quit pickering and get to-
gether and set their mutual business
affairs right. He says he Is scared,
and can believe that, for he fright
ened me.
Mr.. Kennedy appears to b. putting
an astonishing amount Of energy into
his duties. He frequently works Is
to ID hours q day, for he not only looks
after the heavy routine Of the en-
bassy. but Is voluntarily carrying out
special studies in the political and
economic fiields for the benefit OF
Washington.
Sentimentality Weakness.
The Ambassador has q weakness.
For such q two-flsted fellow he Is re-
markably sentimental, that perhaps

cials up with a Jolt. He has a habit
Of stating truths in a few blunt and
frequently explosive words.
This characteristic is somewhat
reminiscent Of one-time Vice Presi-
dent and former Ambassador, Gen.
Charles Gates (Hell and Maria)
Dawes. The difference between the
two gentlemen is that the general
used literally to roar, whereas Mr..
Kennedy will use equally strong Ian
guage in an even tone Of voice and
eases his feelings by eating candy
tons Of 1t.
Mr.. Kennedy, like Dawes, doesn't
.abide by that tenet Of professional
diplomacy which provides that an
envoy should clothe himself and his
language in mystery, always saying
yea yea" when he means may nay"
Still the British cabinet members like
the Ambassadors directness, for he
never leaves them in doubt either as
to his meaning or his sincerity.

would 60 to the aid Of the Czechs In
spite Of these considerations. The
chancellor has understood clearly that
II he should march on Czechoslovakia
under circumstances which made his
attack look like unprovoked aggres-
sion. for example, and If the Czechs
should be able to hold out as long as
month, alone, major war would
probably result.
But Hitler has never had the
slightest intention Of doing anything
as stupid as this. If Mr.. Chamberlain
thinks the chancellor capable Of COM
mitting such q blunder and has gone
to Berchtesgaden to warn him against
doing SO, the prime minister is vast
ing his time
Even before Mr.. Chamberlain de-
cided to make the pilgrimage to Ca
nossa. Hitler's campaign had won
most Of the ground needed to launch
the final drive. On the one hand, the
chancellor had persuaded the English
and French that war was imminent
unless he got what he wanted. On the
other hand, he had convinced I'm
portant elements in England and
France that what he wanted was
simply the enforcement Of q principle
they themselves had proclaimed as
sacred and which they had inscribed
on their own banners in the bloodiest
and most catastrophiic of all wars,
less than a single generation ago-the
principle OF self determination.
Peace Odds Can Fall Quickly.
In a world as feverish and uncertain
as the present one. these calculations
may prove unjustided. When the odds
in favor Of peace can go up like a
skyrocket, they can also fizzle out and
crash like skyrocket. Berlin may be
wrong in thinking that "it's all over
but the shouting"
In any event, the German pressure
on England, France and Czechoslovakia
is being kept up as long as there is
any doubt about the outcome. The
radio announcer who gave out the first
news Of Mr.. Chamberlain's decision to
60 to Berchtesgaden, went on with
hardly pause for breath to denounce
Czechoslovakia in terms at least as
bitter as those which have been used
here ever since Hitler's speech in
Nurnberg Monday night, and the NaM
press today presents its readers with
the same appalling picture Of the situ-
alton which it has been presenting all
week. viii there be no escape from
this pressure until the Czechoslovakian
question Is "settled"-and settled"
the way Hitler wants It settled?

LONDON, Sept. 15.-These days Of

John Bull is watching the American

the European democracies and die

Thus 1t devolyes upon Mr.. Kennedy

Preparation
a
New Type Glasses
And Liquid Filter
Injurious Rays.
By ELSIE PIERCE.


THIS is the logical time to get set
set for the summer sun. And 10
do 1t you'll need at least two things: A
sunproofing preparation and sun
glasses. There are creams and oils
whose mission it is to filter out the ac-
tinic or burning. blistering rays of the
sun. But a particularly nice prepara-
ton is thin, almost colorless liquid
which is neither oily nor greasy, dries
quickly on the skin without drying the
skin. If you know how messy oil can
look, you'll appreciate such liquid.
And If you know the irritating, sticky
feeling of sand mixed with oil, at the
beach, you'll surely welcome the liquid.
incidentally, it may be applied as often
as sensitive skin demands, and it
washes of in water.
The beneficial rays Of the sun. so
different from the irritating variety
are said to pass through and penetrate
this preparation.
1t was originally developed to pro-
tect the blond, fair-skinned Scandi-
navians against severe sunburn while
skiing. The reflection of sun on snow,
you know, is productive of a sunburn
often more painful than that of the
summer SUM-
Introduced this season, by the max
ers Of the sunproofing preparation, are
sunglasses claiming to contain the
same ingredient that filters out the
injurious sun rays. Thus the area
around the eyes receives the same
beneficial rays which are tanning the
rest Of the face and the wearer will
not resemble an owl when the glasses
are removed. The lenses and frames
are unbreakable. The glass is q smoky
color, a cross between amber and green,
which is said to be best for the eyes,
does not distort colors and does not
irritate the eyes.
If you are travelling, these two items
should go with you. II you are going
in for sports, consider them as part of
your ensemble, as important as the
proper clothes or proper equipment
for your particular game.

It wasn't nice.

OF course, I don't think it's very
nice If your boy friend doesn't know
you're meeting him there. I wouldn't
hang around on the chance that he'll
be pleased. The chance is slim. He
has too many pals to whom he will
have to explain things.
But if he asked you to meet him
there and you don't mind, I don't
mind.
1t would be nicer Of him to invite
you to come up to his Office and to
give you chair while he locks up his
desk. But it depends entirely on him
and on you.
You don't have to meet a man in
front of his Office just because he
suggests it, though, if you don't want
to. You can suggest another place
more congenial to you. JEAN.

We are all alike when it comes to
teaching children. Enough is never
sufficient. II they get one terms
work done, give them more. II they
get A in a subject make them do
double work to perfect it. II they do
we'll press them to do better. II they
are promoted every term skip a class
now and then to keep them working
harder. Why? o, because we like
to do good job
A little less ambition on the part of
teachers, or parents. would do a lot
OF good to the children. Children are
unfinished jobs. A baby has a great
deal to do to perfect himself after
he arrives here. He was sent along
quite imperfect, measured by his DOS
sibilities; and is not that the way for
teachers and parents to measure
children? I have heard of mothers
who began educating their children
the day they were born, just to give
them good start in school, you know.
Nature gave human children the
longest period of infancy. That pc
r1od Is commonly believed to end at
Fl years, but my experience teaches
me that it extends far beyond that
time. even down to old age. There is
no hurry about finishing the job that
nature has not limited, either in time
or in extent. We will help the chill
dren more by letting them progress
at their own rate of speed, in their
own rhythm, than by pressing them
to do a little more than their best.
1t Is wise to set a standard of
achievement for children. Some point
to be reached, some distance covered
encourages them to do a days work.
When that work is done and well
done. let it rest. Praise the child for
what has been accomplished, and stop
pressing him. Remember that growth
takes place in the quiet of the inner
being. Be content with work well
done today and let tomorrow's stint
wait for tomorrow,s need.
Parents often say to a child who
shows B plus, or SO, Now why
couldn't you get 100? Why couldn't
you make that an A?" That is one
straw too many. 1t is trying to finish
a Job that nature in her wisdom left
unfinished so that time and experience
working together might do a more
perfect job. Be content with good if
you get it. Out of good better comes.
Out OF better, grows best. But mark
you-it grows; it is not forced. Leave
1t where it belongs. in the hands OF
natures teachers, tine and experience.
