. Dear Sir: I read your articles with
much enjoyment, especially those on
birds.
II gather from them that you love all
animals. I want to call to your atten-
ton the article titled Spinal Cord Cut,

II am an animal lover and should like
to be able to help poor dumb creatures
that have the misfortune to fall into such
fiends' hands.
Il thought that, In your capacity, you
might be able 10 set wheels in motion
to end such practices.
II am only Mrs Average Housewife
and can do nothing, but you are well
known.
please give this your attention and
thought. Thanking you, I am. Sin

This type of work, to which the lives
of 100000 dogs alone pay tribute in the

The torture of countless animals in

Thunder Over the Nile,

Strife between the Egyptian boy King
Farouk and the militant Wafd National
isD party has graver facets than q
mere political conflict with the throne.
To John Bulls dismay, the hand of
Mussolini is suspected to be lurking
somewhere in the background of con-
troversy that can easily lead to an
Anglo-1talian duel for supremacy at
Cairo.
Late In December Mustafa Nahas
Pasha, veteran premier and leader of
the predominant Wafdists in Parlia-
ment, proposed royal assent to law
permitting cabinet to remain in Office
only so long as it commands a ma
jority. The King disapproved, but Of
fered instead TO establish a supreme
court with power to interpret the con-
stitution and agreed to abide by its
findings. This compromise having been
rejected by the Wafdists, the King de-
posed the Nahas government and ap-
pointed the Liberal Constitutional leader,
Mohammed Mahmoud Pasha, premier to
form CONSTITUTIONAL cabinet Mon
day night, amid tempestuous scenes the
Chamber of Deputies and the Senate
both defied the King and his new pre-
mier and by overwhelming majorities
voted down the royal decree suspending
Parliament for month
That is the purely domestic political
side of the crisis. 1t has an interna-
tional aspect of far wider significance.
The Mahmoud cabinet contains out
spokenly pro-1talian ministers, evidently
a hangover from King Fuads days. The
late monarch never concealed his SYM
pathies with Italy, where he spent many
years. The British, having long feared
Fuads inclinations might undermine
their traditional predominance on the
Nile, hoped for gradual disappearance
OF Italian influence with enthronement
last year of F'uads 18-year- old English
educated heir.
Mussolini makes no bones of his am
bition to magnify Italys authority in the
Arab and Moslem worlds. Only q year
ago, during his spectacular visit to Libya,
which sits astride Egypts flank, II Duce
proclaimed himself grand protector of
all Islam," much to Britain's alarm.
Strengthening of the Italian garrison in
Libya and undiminished Fascist propa-
ganda throughout the Near East have
intensified London's anxieties. Hence
the slightest hint of pro-Italianism at
Cairo conjures up disquieting possibili-
ties for Britain, ever concerned with that
vital link in the Empires life line, the
6uez Canal, which lies within Egyptian
territory.

Standardization.

Standardizat ton.
It leaves us just bit surprised
To see how we've been standardized!
A human being all serene,
In comfort runs like q machine.
He hits the time clock morn and night
To show that he is working right.
The hands, the heads and even hearts
May be replaced like motor parts,
And so, no matter what is gone,
The big machine goes whistling on.
The individual is content
To know how each force shall be spent;
In bliss our lives we've analyzed
Since we have all been standardized.

II 4 Maryland magistrates association
Is formed-and an organization meeting
has been called-it might well adopt
rules regarding proper places for justices
to hold court. Moreover, such an asso-
citation, or the Legislature, might find it
worth while to set up more specific
qualifications for magistrates. It seems
incongruous that State which requires
examinations for file clerks often names
magistrates who can impose heavy fines
on the public, purely on the basis Of
political preferment. OF course, file
clerks get salaries while magistrates are
paid through fees. And that may be the
root Of the whole trouble.
Finally. the barber shop case again
brings up the question of changing the
fine for speeding. Passed in the days
when sixty miles an hour was almost
unheard of, the 500 minimum fine now
appears excessive, especially in view Of
the State Legislatures action in raising
the speed limit from forty to forty-f five
miles an hour and lowering the fine for
breaking that regulation from $25 to So
Altogether, the barber court incident
leads to the conclusion that Maryland's
speed laws and lower court procedure
would be improved by clean shave.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
As of Old


In the chivalrous days Of the past the
bold knight
Laid his spoils at the feet Of his lovs;
In the bout and the tournament and the
sword play
For his fair, gentle lady he strove.
The great world Of today pays her tribute
as well;
In its marts she may win high success;
Or white-capped and Jealous on missions
be sent
To alleviate human distress.
Or may dip into science and win honors
there
Her ambition may reach any height -.
But she still finds her best and her holiest
fame
A. the fair lady-lovs q hsr Knight.
