your neighbor's house is on fire.
At the present time. despite the
e-prevention labors OF the Civilian
Conservation Corps and forestry

fiscal year ending last July, flames
did $726, 1853 worth of damage, accord
ing to the office of the fire marshal.
Spain and China can be in flames
from exploding shells, but the Sc

a carelessly thrown cigarette or burn

terry OF that kind in the District. There
are strong movements elsewhere in the
country for legalized lotteries, and I
understand that the Legislature of one
Western State at its next session will take
nnal action on lottery measure.
The question of morals seems to be the
only important difiiculty in the way of
an ofncial District lottery specifically for
public purposes Of the most appealing
character. The administration of such
lottery would be almost abstlrdly easv
ana inexpensive; its success as q revenue
producer and as remedy for many of
the present almost intolerable conditions
would be assured. There would be abso-
lutely no risk of loss to the District gov
ernment. with a provision Of course, that
the receipts must always be more than
the total OF the prizes. The monthly or
quarterly drawings could be so arranged
as to attract immense crowds to WASH
ington, with huge benefits to all kinds
of business.
Let us consider the question of morals.
An Official lottery for beneficial p,,r-
poses would have discouraging effect
upon spending for evil habits, such as
illegal gambling at heavy odds, excessive
drinking, etc. 1t would give many people
that better care in sickness, suffering and
starvation Of which they are now 50 often
deprived
Senator King, who, as chairman of the
Senate District Committee, would have
SO much to say upon this question, is
represented in the press as being against
"legalized gambling" but I doubt very
much that he has considered the pros
and cons of an ofncial District lottery
for the specified purposes of public relief
and other welfare uses. I would be as
much opposed to any other form of lot
terry here as would the Senator.

Dead Mems Ewes

The inestimable blessing of sight
may be restored to three persons by
gratis from the cornea of an exc
cuted Utah murderer, who, exercis-
ing his last right on earth, author
lied that his body be used to aid med
ical science.
A few weeks ago the New York sur
geon who devised this remarkable
operation remarked upon the difri-
Guilty OF obtaining healthy eyes for
the thousands of persons now blind
in the United States whose sight
could be restored by such gratis. He
urged that persons make provisions
In their wills bequeathing their
eyes-and with them the sight of
sunlight and green trees and loved
ones-to those who otherwise might
be blind forever.
1t must be remembered, Of course,
that the great majority Of the blind
would not be aided in the least by
such an operation. 1t Is of value
only in that very limited percentage
OF cases where the blindness Is due
to clouding of the .cornea. But the
actual number Of such cases reaches
into the thousands.
Unfortunately, the reports Of the
use of this murderer's eyes in cases
where the gratis are almost certain
to be successful are apt to rouse false
hopes among other thousands whose
blindness is due to other causes and
who could not possibly benefit. Only
one small part of the eye was used.
not the whole eye. Any graft of a
whole eye, in spite of such alleged
operations, is fantastic.
That is about all there is to be said
on the subject. except that this man,
paying his last debt to society, passed
into the shadows with a gracious
gesture which serves to verify the
sentiment of the poet who wrote:
There is SO much good in the worst

A Third Europe

Authorities who envision German
demand for abolition of the Polish
Corridor as one of the future Nazi
moves designed to unsettle the peace
OF Munich" will probably read sig
nificance into the reverberations of
the German and Polish press over
the Hungarian settlement.
Hitler's insistence that the south
easternmost tip of emaciated Czecho-
slovakia, known as Carpathian Ru-
thenia, remain an autonomous prov
ince, instead of being ceded to Hun
gary, arouses undisguised disappoint-
ment in Warsaw. The Poles wanted
the area given to the Hungarians,
because there would thus have been
created common frontier between
them which would permit the crea-
tion of so-called Third Europe"
Proponents of such a new politico-
geographical entity, like General
Kasprzyci, the Polish minister of
war, envisage it as a bloc of coun-
tries grouped around Poland, includ-
ing the Baltic states, as we'll as Hun
gary and Rumania, which would
preserve the balance of power" on
the continent and assure the free
dom and independence" of all the
smaller nations between the Baltic
and Black Seas"
The Nazis, it goes without saying,
are alive to the implications of such
a project, the realization of which
would on its face hamper II not
doom their "drang mach Osten" plans
for German supremacy across Gen.
trail Europe to the Golden Horn,
That is why the inspired Nazi press
Is now adjuring Poland not to let
political egoism or imperialism" get
the better of her judgment on the
results of Czechoslovakia's partition.
Maintenance of Slovakia and Car
pathian Ruthenia, which is also
called Carpathian Ukraine, not only
keeps open the route for German
penetration eastward across Czecho-
slovakia and Rumania, but prevents
a national unifcation movement
among the 100000 Ukrainians. now
mostly under Soviet sovereignty. but
of whom 100000 or 5000 900 inhabit
Southern Poland.
Hitler palpably will hear nothing
OF Third Europe" He and Musso-
lini, heading what they consider, not
without reason in light of late events,
as Europe No. one, have in their iudg-
ment relegated the Western powers
to the status of Europe No. two.
Flushed with success unparalleled in
totalitarian history and confident of
their ability to exploit it to their con-
tlnued profit, the dictators are not
minded to see Europe No. three
brought into being.
Germany's assumption of a benev-
olent protectorate over the rump Of
Czechoslovakia is thus far from an
altrulStic gesture. It is in its es-
sence a notice to all and sundry-
Poland and Hungary in particular
that the Czech borders just decreed
by Ribbentrop and Ciano, in the
name of their respective masters, are
definitive and unalterable.

A Reversal.
They're here, the bookies and the touts,
The horses and the jockeys gay,
Once more, with hope that knows no

The merry gamester wends his way
Unto the track there to bestow
His wealth on men he doesn't know.
He holds on tight to every cent
When forth he goes a-marketing,
He cavils when he pays the rent,
But when he strikes the betting ring
His coin most generously doth flow
Now who can tell why this is so?
