Shooting Stors
By PHLANDER JOHNSON.

Just Around the Corner.
All eagerly we wait,
An anxious throng;
Weak playthings of a fate
That oft goes wrong.
1mpulsively we start,
Then we refrain,
Discouraged, sick at heart
Rebuffed again.
Man is . creature frail:
His fOndest schemes
Are IkeIest to fail.
Like passing dreams.
Now sorrows lines are drawn,
For life seems flat
Just waiting to put on
His new straw hat.

constantly expanding handouts.
DislntereSted observers doubt whether
either course is going to get the Nation
very far.
At least two members of the Presidents
cabinet, Cordell Hull, Secretary of State,
and Henry Wallace, Secretary of Agri-
culture, long have insisted that just two
real courses lie open to the United States.
They find those courses more clearly
outlined than ever today.
One calls for the United States to ac-
cept an important world role, using its
immense resources Of gold and its equally
immense resources in raw materials to
help the world get Strengthened around.
This course calls for the United States to
assume the responsibilities of world
banker. A mild example Of the method
involved IN this course is seen in the COM
ing American loans to Brazil, conditioned
on economic reforms in that nation. A
major example Of this method might oc-
cur II war should break out in Europe.
Any chance that world leadership by
the United States might unscramble the
worlds problems without war seems to
have been lost by delay during which the
forces Of disintegration got in their
work.
The second of the courses calls for the
United States to decide that 1t wants to
forget about much of the rest Of the
world and to devote itself to internal
reconstruction, using its resources In
capital and in raw materials and in labor
to raise the standard Of living and to
improve the physical plant at home.

THEY'RE NO HERMITS

Mrs. Roosevelt was thoroughly
justified in asking the questions she
d recently. Taking notice
that her appointment as director
OF the Boston insurance firm of
Roosevelt & Sargent has been criti-
cized by some people, she inquired
frankly
Does the American public want its
Presidents wife and children to be
White House hermits, Do voters
want the children of President to
be willing to go out and earn their
own livings? Do they want a Presi-
dents wife who is willing to sacri-
flee all the interests she has built
UP and all her personal accomplish.
ments? And what if some future
Presidents wife says she won't go
to the White House at such a sacri-
fee?
The answers, we think, are OBJ
vious, The American people--at
least the great majority of them
want the members of Presidents s
family to live their own lives in
their own way, as fully as that is
possible. They don't want the mem
bers of a Presidents family to take
advantage of his official position for
their private profit, and certainly
there are mighty few people who
would suspect Mrs. Roosevelt of do
ing that. Her dictatorship of the
Insurance firm, for instance, is sole
ly for the purpose of protecting
the interest of her son James, who
has new job in the movies.
A Presidents wife and children
are more like goldfish than hermits
They have precious little privacy,
even if they seek it diligently, and a
family as active and unconventional
as the Roosevelts is bound to be the
constant subject of public interest.
Maybe this should not be so, but we
DON'T know how it can be prevented
But the limelight Mrs Roosevelt
and her children share with her hus-
band is, for the most part, friendly
She has at least the comfort of
knowing that anything they might
90 would be criticized by somebody,
and that most of their activities are
viewed by most people with admira-
tion--sometimes tinged with amaze

A decision that was termed a
"World-Wlde precedent regarding
the purity of water" was handed
down by tha cI1nron1p court of oh n
when the seven judges unanimous
ly agreed that Ohio restaurant and
hotel owners may be responsible
for the purity of the water they
serve with meals if the water is
from private wells. A Franklin
county restaurant keeper had been
sued by a customer for illness and
damages allegedly. suffered after
partaking of a meal and water. 1t
was claimed that the water, drawn
from a private well, was polluted,
unwholesome and contained guam
titles Of bacteria" The court of
common pleas and the court of ap-
peals decided in favor of the defend
ant. The questions presented to the
supreme court in the appeal were:
Where restaurant keeper serves a
complete meal and with that meal
serves drinking water, is there an
fit for human consumption? Is water
a food within the contemplation of
the pure food and drug laws of
Ohio? The high court reversed the
judgment and remanded the case to
the common pleas court for a new
trial. The attorney representing
the plaintiff said that the case sets
a worldwide precedent in the mat
ter of purity of water, and that att
torneys had sought vainly both in ]
his country and abroad for some
precedent in this sort Of case.
