Various principles in the past
had forced maintenance of the stat

said:
That international treaties like
the covenant of the League of Ma
tions have lost their prestige, is
fundamentally due to this IRA

"Without making international
Justice a written code, new peace

Under eerie lights that flickered
upon the richly stained windows
of the Abbey, the diggers came
upon a heavy wooden coffin be-
lieved to be that of the prince of
poets but there were neither parch-

the worldwide con troversy
Members of the Baconian society,
who spent eight years in persuad-
ing Rev. DR.. Paul Labilliere. dean
of Westminster, to open Spenser's
tomb, had hoped to prove their
contention that Francis Bacon ac-
tually wrote Shakespeare's works.
They depended upon the tradi-
ton that, when Spenser died in
1899, Shakespeare and other fellow
poetS-but not Bacon-dropped or
iginal manuscripts i.to his tomb
to honor him.
Almost nothing has been pre-
served of Shakespeae's own hand
writing and five or six signatures
three on his will, alone survive of
his penmanship.

There's a tonic in the desert all
which is crisp at night and pleas
antly warm in the daytime. There
is a slight increase in the relative
humidity owing to the wind shift

The Radio Panic

Regarding the radio broadcast
of last Sunday night, alleged
to have caused a panic among
listeners, one of two conclusions
is inescapable. Either the news
papers misrepresented and ex-
aggerated the effects, or. if the
effects and results were as
stated in the press, it is evi-
dence beyond question Of the
decadence of our people, and
of their dumbnesS and stupid
ity.
If the mere thought Of an
aerial attack produced such a
panic and hysteria among the
people as to cause some to COM
NIT suicide, and others to flee
their homes, still others to weep
and pray, it stamps the people
of the United States as a
cowardly and degenerate race,
who could not survive or de-
serve to survive a real attack
upon the country.
What must have been the ef-
feet upon foreign nations-Ger-
manly and Japan for instance.
They must, indeed, have laughed,
and in their hearts felt an un-
speakable contempt for us.
Either our people themselves,
or the papers have held us up
to the ridicule and contempt of
the world. It is sure to have
serious results in our contacts
and negotiations with other ma
tions in the future.

"SelLer" Suggests:

There has been a question In
the back of my mind now
these many days" and would
certainly like your opinion and
the opinion of your readers.
Why is it that women will
come into a shop to look inquir.
ingly at everything you have
in stock, even make you feel
as if the warehouse should be
searched for an item which
they have no idea of purchas-
ing?
My suggestion would be that
an organization be formed for
those poor individuals who have
so much time on their hands
and allow them an open house
where they may waste their
time in ease and leave us poor,
bewildered statesmen alone.

Bonus For Babies

I just had the joy Of becom-
ing a father.
At least it was a joy until the
bills started coming in. Now
it's worry and grief how to meet
those bills.
With all the money the Gov.
eminent is spending, why can't
they give help to those who are
adding to the population of the
country? 1t is necessary that
we raise children to carry on
the future of the nation, and it
seems to me the Government
,ould help, as they do in Italy
and other nations. T. &.
