TT is now obvious that the adj
l. ministration intends to step out
in international affairs and play
an aggressive role. The apparent
intention of the President to scrap
the Neutrality Act should remove
any doubt as to that.
Of course we are not told that
we are to do a little world polio
ing. We are merely told the Presi-
dent will attempt to amend" the
Neutrality Act. The plan as re-
ported is that the President has
approved the amendment to the
act which will permit him to en-
barge shipments to saggressor
countries.
Maybe we should do this.
Doubtless many good Americans
think we should. But at least we
ought to be frank with ourselves
about it and know precisely what
we are doing. Because i is a very
serious step. 1t is complete re-
versal of our international policy.
And it is loaded with dynamite.
Hence we will be very foolish if
we attempt to disguise what we
are doing under innocent looking
words. The last word we should
use is neutrality"
We have a Neutrality Act. The
policy of that act is to keep Sc
Verely out of quarrels between
otner nations. 1t is based upon the
%ell-founded fear that if two
other nations go to war and we
ttempt to supply them with
munitions, to make a profit out of
the war trade, we will get into
trouble and possibly war. At least
that is the way we got into the
last war.
Therefore the act provides
that when the war starts the
president shall. proclaim the fact

A splendid suggestion, and one
which is in every way worthy of

that might be an idea for anoth-

persons is doing a bigger job for

Most policemen like dogs. Recently
during the knock, knock" craze an
ofncer was making his calls. His Job
was to stop at every house and be sure
that II there was . dog inhabitant,
there was also dog tag. The lady

promise. I'll never do it again.)
A few blocks away another police
man was making his rounds. Now, un-
fortunately, dogs fail to recognise the
majesty Of the law. Bingo ran at the
man, barking. The ofncer pulled his
gun and fired. Down went the pup,
shot through the jaw! Bingo's owner
knew something about law. She took
the matter to court. The Judge ruled
that the ofncer had no right to shoot
unless he was actually being attacked.
Now . dog can run and bark without
doing any biting. Further, Bineo was

Ut SEEMS that q gentleman by the
name Of Blackstone had an awful
lot to do with the Law. Accord
i ing to legend, he didn't care much
for dogs. The canine Of the species has
suffered ever since Everytime that he
forgot his manners the least bit some
body was all set, legally, to shoot him.
No dog approves Of this method. Very
few owners like it.
Now, although it isn't generally
known. civic law has moved to give
Pups . certain amount Of protection.
States vary In their ordinances, but
the general trend Is pretty much the
same. Law makes the majority Of
canine offences traceable to the owner.
It is . matter for civil suit. Pups boss
is, or Is not, subject to fine. Usually
the Judgment will not effect the dog
personally. He can come out from
under the house.

terday or today The story remains
implanted in our simple affections
and memories at exactly its face value

It was the German custom, de-

Hansel and Gretel tale, of making .
cake house as part of a households
Christmas decorations, that inspired
Mrs Robert Denham of Chevy Chase
to try her hand at making the fairy
tale house reality. Partly for her
own amusement and largely for that
Of her children, she undertook, a year
ago, to make small house to use
as a centerpiece on her Christmas
dinner table.
The first attempt was crowned with
unexpected success. It served its pur-
pose to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned and elected numerous COM
pliments for its manufacturer. When
school reopened, after the holidays,
Mrs. Denham's children appropriated
tho house for the delectation Of their
classroom: there was considerable
argument between the boys who want
ed to eat it, and the girls who wanted
to keep it intact. with the result that
the feminine side won, and the cake
remained triumphantly whole until
consigned to the waste basket at the
close Of school in June!
This past Christmas Mrs. Denham
yielded to the urging of her family
and friends and decided to repeat her
confectionery masterpiece. This time,
however, she went to work on q larger
scale. and this years house turned
out to be sizeable replica of the
house IN which the Denhams live,

He had been doing plenty Of paving

I asked him If he wanted that kind of
wife why he didn't marry her, and
he said: "Oh, he did not want to

wife whom he could respect and whom
he trusted"
Well, I am going to leave him. So

A SAD WIFE.
nEAR MISS DIX-In regard to the
letter from the young men who
complain that they cannot find the
snow-white kind Of wives among the
fast-stepping girls with whom they
have been travelling. I would like to
say: Don't try it. If you do you will
surely regret it. know, for I tried it..
After the thrill Of marriage has
worn of somewhat, 1t is a mans natu-
raj inclination to lead his former life.
He Is not going to turn down his old
friends who liked the things that he
liked, and you can bet the snow white
wife Is going to balk at the old pals.
My advice to young men is to marry
the kind of girls they have been as
sociating with and then they will have
real companions. Nothing makes
more for harmony in marriage than
for both to have the same ideals and
to enjoy doing the same things. 1t
would be just as silly for a man train
ing for the ministry to marry q wild
