THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Scotch "flip," but fer different from that
national Characterization.
Above all, the spirit, or "elan," OF Ha-
waiian music must be right. Just as the
only people who can sing the Negro
spirituals correctly are the colored peo-
pie, so the only real singers Of Hawaiian
songs are people from the islands, or
those few who have lived there long
enough to make the music their own in
truth and spirit. In this category must
be placed the incompatible Ray Kinney.

1t probably would be nature-faking Of
the worst sort to attribute to the milk
white spider which lived on the phono-
graph lid any understanding of these
factors.
That he liked the music, however, one
was ready to swear.
And why not?
Music is sound, and sound is vibration,
and spiders have ways of apprehending
these as well as creatures with ears.
1t was impossible to tell whether the
arachnid scampered along because OF
the vibrations or because Of the looming
shape of the human.
X -
One thing sure was that he had no
trouble at all in moving in any direc-
tion, up or down, or sideways, at what
ever angle the lid was raised.
This meant that his escape from dan
ger was never hurried, or carried on one
time at lessened rate, or speedier
than usual.
He had one speed for all occasions,
based on the immutable needs of spiders.
True to his race and tribe, sure of his
progress and his weapons skilled in that
hallmark of the arachnids, spinning, he
took life as it came and made the spider
best of it.
1t was really marvellous to watch with
what speed he could fling out an invisi-
BILE strand and descend upon it for a
foot or more, and how cleverly he could
get back to the top Of the lid again.
We were always afraid that he would
get too investigational and throw him.
self into the moving turntable, but he
never did, he went just so far and no
farther, a sign of intelligence the world
around.
One night we left this spark of life on
his favorite spot on the lid.
He was waving his legs daintily in the
air, as If demanding more Hawaiian
music, the real thing, no trumpets, no
violins, no saxophones; just guitars and
ukuleles and those soft, bouncing, catlike
voices, all swaying together in beauti-
full hula.
The next morning, when we looked
for him, he was gone. The lid and the
machine gave no trace Of him at all.
Maybe the vibrations had been too much
for him.
Maybe he had been overcome by a
longing for swing" music. and had gone
elsewhere, where he might dance to
"A-Tisket A-Tasket" to his hearts con-
tent.

Attributes Chamberlain's Course
To Alleged Fascist Tendencies.

Attributes Chamberlain's Course
To Alleged Fascist Tendencies.
To the Editor Of The Star:
ITO THOSE who have followed closely
the course of world events in the last
decade, it should not come as a surprise
that Chamberlain should give in to Hit
Ter over the Sudeten question. To under
stand the policy Of British imperialism
in Europe at the present time one must
remember that 1t is beset by two great
fears, first. the expanding fascist power,
and secondly, the possibility Of the COM
ing of socialism in Great Britain. OF
the two, the first is the lesser evil In her
eyes.
If Chamberlain had stood fast with
France and the Soviet Union in defense
OF Czechoslovakia Hitler would have been
forced to back down, fascism would have
sustained a stunning reverse and the
forces of democracy would have been i'm
measurably strengthened. Hitler's and
Mussolinis regimes would soon collapse
from internal weakness to be replaced
by socialism. The rest Of Europe, and
Britain, too, would follow suit.
Chamberlain's group chose to facilitate
Hitler's aggressions in Czechoslovakta,
hoping, in so doing, to divert fascism's
covetous eyes away from the British
domain and toward the rich countries
in southeastern Europe and the Soviet
Ukraine. In so doing he also had In
view the isolation Of the Soviet Union.
However, It u Questionable whether

Further Information
Concerning Vaccination.


COME months ago The Star printed a
letter of mine regarding cancer as
a possible result Of vaccination. 1 have
heard that some doctors wish further
information upon this subject. 1t was
stated that in Turkey cancer is unknown.
Turkey used smallpox, not coW-pox, for
vaccination. Smallpox does not affect
the glands as cow-pox does. I quoted DR..
]. Morrison to say: Vaccine virus
causes the glands of the arm, axilla and
neck to enlarge, swell and ulcerate and
even to produce death" 1t has been
stated that some kinds OF cancer are
simply a proliferation of wild cells in
the body. Practically all vaccine virus is
supposed to be made from calf lymph,
poisoned by cow-pox. Two Of the high
est authorities on this subject-Charles
Creighton, A. M. M. D., and Prof. Edgar
M. Crookshank, M. B.. M. r. c. S.. state
that cow-pox is analogous to syphilis!
In his Natural History OF Cow-pox and
Vaccinal Syphilis" DR.. Creighton writes
(page 1859 THE real affinity Of cow-pox
is not to the smallpox but to the great
pox.' In his article on vaccination
in the ninth British edition Of Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, he writes: "1t is too
simple and attractive to be soon given
up, but perhaps the best way to get rid
of 1t is to state in plain terms what cow
pox itself really it. The widespread be-
lief that much of the eczema Of child
hood dates from vaccination is not by
any means to be dismissed as mere
fancy. Cow-pox, indeed, is parallel with
the venereal pox, both in the circum-
stance of it's becoming an infective ulcer
alton and in it's secondary or constitu-
tional manifestations as an infection in
man."
Calf lymph cells grow ten times as fast
as human lymph cells, as calf natures
in two years, while it takes human 20
or more. This is point that very few
medical investigators have gone into.
Paul de Kuif, in the September Coun-
try Gentleman writes: In 1924 thou
sands of Chicago children were half
alive, with fostering neck glands, stiff
fened joints, rotting bones from drinking
milk that came from tubercular cows"
This describes a most perfect picture OF
the symptoms Of modified syphilis as
characteristic Of cow-pox! AS the COM
pulsory vaccination law in Chicago was
repealed in 1926 things have changed.
Mr.. de Kuif did not explain Just why
the adults of Chicago did not suffer from
these symptoms that the vaccinated
school children did! The calves that
drank the same milk did not suffer any
such Symptoms-Why?

A Chippewa Method
OF Catching q Skunk.
To the Editor OF

TO the EdltOr OF Inc Star.
4 VERY interesting article in last Sum
days Star resurrected memory of an
old incident somewhat similar. The arti-
Gle relates Craig Phillips contact and
argument on skunks. Phillips has 1t fig
ured out that skunks cannot "Shoot" un-
less their tail Is arched over their back,
and proved his argument by grabbing
skunk by the tail and jerking him OIL his
feet.
I agree with Phillips but also believe
that when the skunk's hind feet are off
the ground it prevents bracing and that
same bracing brings in part OF the
necessary muscular action.
In 1893 this writer was far up in North
ern Minnesota between Lake Superior
and Canada on railroad survey. In the
survey party we had three Chippewa In
dian choppers to clear brush and trees
from the survey line.
One day a skunk appeared on the
scene and did those Indians get excited
and did we all get excited? When first
seen Mr.. Skunk was about so yards away
coming directly toward us with tail erect
and sort of shufhing along, paying us no
attention.
One Indian said, in Chippewa Ian
guage: I'VE better get MIN DeIore ne
gets u.s." Promptly each Indian cut
small club about feet In length, dropped
axes and surrounded the skunk.
Separating themselves into what
would be a circle about 10 yards from
the skunk they commenced quietly cir
cling about. Soon the skunk commenced
to notice and stood still. He then noticed
there we're strangers all around him and
the Indians kept on circling, gradually
closing in.
The skunk began turning about in his
tracks, tail stif1y erect-no need to shoot
vet, he had not been harmed. But he
was on the watch and the Indians were
closing in-they were quite close and by
now he was somewhat bewildered.
He stopped turning and looked to the
right at a near Indian so did not see the
Indian on his left who reached over.
grabbed the tip Of his tail and jerked
him of his feet. He was helpless and
harmless. He could not brace his hind
feet, so could not pull the trigger. The
Indian tapped him on the head with
his club and Mr.. Skunk was finished.

Chamberlain has succeeded in even post
poning the demise of the British capital
lst class and the advent of real peoples
government in Britain. Issues have been
raised which will turn to plague those
who raised them. Fascism, too, must
keep expanding at an ever-accelerating
rate. Fascism must conquer the world,
or be conquered.
We in America can do our part by
guarding and extending our democratic
rights, by building our unions and by
eternal vigilance to guard against those
elements, both domestic and foreign,
who would wish to extend the fascist
tyranny to our shores

Cardinal Innitzer.

The sacking by young Hitlerites of the
dinal Innitzer, Archbishop of Vienna, and
the stoning of his palace near st.
Stephens Cathedral, accompanied by
rioting and the reported injury of the
Cardinal himself, reminds the world that
Nazi concepts of complete subordination
of the individual in thought and action,
to the state continues to be challenged
BY. powerful forces within the Reich.
The disorders were q reaction to the
sermon preached in st. Stephens Friday
night by Cardinal Innitzer, calling upon
his flock to preserve faith and give out
ward testimony thereof, difficult though
that may be, for it is not enough to
carry faith only within the heart" Re-
spending heartily to this exhortation,
his listeners acclaimed him afterward,
evoking hostile demonstrations by young
Nazis in nearby cafe, which was fol-
lowed Saturday by more rioting and the
attack upon the Cardinals home and
Offices.
1t has not been dificult for the Reich
to absorb and integrate Austrian life with
the Reich in most Of its phases, for
Austrians are racially German. But in
the matter Of religion Austria is a more
difficult problem, for 1t is ninety-five per
cent Catholic. This virtual unanimity of
Catholicism creates mass resistance to
German racial and neo-pagan dogmas
which was encountered in less degree
within Germany proper, although even
there the Catholic Church has stood firm
against the encroachments of NaN
ideology upon the domain of the church.
The Catholic Church, with its vast fol-
lowing in the southern German provinces
and Austria, presents the largest single
threat to the Nazi effort to subordinate
all phases of individual life to the state.
Notwithstanding" or the complete sub
servience of the action and thought of
the citizens to the ends Of the state, is
one corner stone of the NaN edifice, and
as long as the Catholic or any other
church claims and exercises an inde-
pendent influence over the lives and
thoughts of its members this regimenta-
ton of the citizen cannot be complete.
1t is significant that 1t is Cardinal
Innitzer who now is the target of Nazi
violence. He is remembered for his dec
laration last April before the Austrian
plebiscite when he urged that Austrians
vote for union with Germany. He was
subsequently rebuked by the Vatican and
partially retracted his declaration. Dif-
ferences between him and Austria's new
masters arose early last month over
secularization Of marriage in Austria,
dismissal Of teaching priests and Of nuns
serving as nurses in hospitals He issued
a pastoral letter September taking issue
with the German government on those
points, and on September 20 he headed
a group of seven Austrian bishops in
publishing a letter objecting to new
regulations on marriage, teaching and
administration of church comforts to
political prisoners.
1t is heartening to those outside the
Reich who still hope for the preservation
OF Christian Germany to know that
voices are being raised persistently on
behalf of Christian ideals and faith.
