democratic causes, than if we re-
turned to- the endless wars OF
Europe. If we return now to tnese
wars within a brief generation
since the last World War, then we
have inevitably become a part OF
the whole European system. Thus
we would throw away the natural
advantages we have and lose our
best opportunity to be of lasting
service TO mankind.
II say all this even though I
am profoundly in sympathy with
Great Britain and France in the
task to which they have set their
hands. [ believe that we Americans
ought to sympathize with these
two great nations and help them
with our moral support and in any
other way we can help themi but
however much may sympathize
with them and the causes for which
they fight l am profoundly con-
vinced that we ought not to send
our sons again to participate in
European wars. These are questions
you and all of us must deeply pom
der this year and the university is
going to do its part in providing
opportunities that will help you to
do this. Let us hope that the diff
culties you must face in your time
and the overcoming of them may
make you stronger and nobler men
than easier circumstances could
D1 Oduce."

students, but all American colleges
should be dedicated to country as
we'll as 20 cause and 20 humanity.
And we should stress today tne
Importance of freedom and lnltla-
tive and the obligations OF every
citizen to do his best. One OF the
worst signs of our time is the well
known fact that there are so many
of our citizens who are not Trying
to do at all. AS a wag has put 1t,
here is a new incentive for the
young in our time, make all you
can, save all you can, so that you
can help those VINO won't.
"In a sound and enduring de
mocracy every man will be LETT
free to do his best and to do MS
best for the common welfare. We
hear too much in our day about the
rights and privileges Of free men
and far too little about the obllga-
tions and responsibilities OF Tree
men. We must be left free to do our
best out we must come to under
stand that we are working not al
together for ourselves but Tor 9TH
ers as well. We must come more
and more to keep in mind the COM
mon good. In a democracy that IS
to last, men must of course be
free, they must be free 10 do their
best, that is the best that is possible
for them, but just as certainly they
must keep sense Of brotherhood,
common fellowship in the COM
mon good. Every good member OF
4 democratic society must live his
own life, do his own work, attend
to his own business, and yet he
should also keep ready to help
others and live in the hope to do
some permanent good in the world.
democracy must more and more
look to strong educational centers
for the formative influences that
are to save it. There is a tendency
on the part Of governments all over
the world today to interfere with
teaching. Even in America, and in
some Of the more enlightened states
At that, we have teachers Oaths,
and other threats to honest teach

colleges and universities must all
he time be on their guard against
he threat everywhere Of govern
ment enlarging itself at the expense
# liberty. In some countries the
test has already come. It may come
in others. In colleges and uniYersi-
ties strong enough to resist new
and old sets Of pressures freedom
may be called upon to take its
last tand.
81 think a good many dangerous
tendencies have entered the United
States since the World War Of 1914
18, perhaps because Of the war and
maybe because of our participation
in the war. Should we risk active
participation in another great war?
We went to Europe in 1917 in the
hope Of doing good, especially with
the hope to save democracy. We did
not succeed. We declined to take
part in the World Court and the
League of Nations and came out
OF Europe. l do not believe that
we should now go back. If we can
keep this country and North Amer

Durham, Sept. 2O.-Speaking al
the formal opening Of Duke uni
\ersity's 1939-40 academic year
President William Preston Few said
TO-DAY that while Americans ought
to sympathize with Great Britain
and France and help them with
their moral support, the United
States ought not to send its sons
again to participate in European
wars.
Democracy, said President Few
must more and more look to strong
educational centers :or the sorma-
tive influences that are to save it.
Today's exercises marked the
beginning of the 101st year since
the university's earliest antecedent,
Union institute, was opened.
THE kind of democracy for
which l have enthusiasm" Presi-
dent Few declared, has been, for
me at least, best defined by the
great scientist Louis Pasteur-de-
mccracy is that form of govern
nent which leaves every citizen
free to do MS best or the common
welfare. I would emphasize the
words Cd free, (2) his best, (3)
common welfare We cannot over
estimate the worth of freedom.
Whatever individual, whatever
9roup, and whatever nation sells
freedom at any price makes bad
bargain. A free church in free
state is Of the essence Of the Amer
can ideal They must both be kept
free and if the republic in its
Nriginal and fundamental concep-
ton is to endure, they must both be
kept vigorous.
In both these directions we have
made ~erious mistakes in this coun-
try that we should promptly cor
rect. All churches should, l feel
sure, cease to be too much pre-
occupied with formal profession
and correctness Of creed and throw
9ll possible emphasis on spiritual
Vitality and moral energy. Other
wise we may look to see Protes-
tantism a declining :orce in Amer
ca md democracy with it.
"Then, too, if we are to keep
,igorous state and nation all the
'itizens must be brought to par
cipate directly and actively in the
opportunities and obligations Of
itizenship Unless we come to sue
'2ed better than we have until now
rcceeded we might live to see
\merica follow the drift away
from democracy and with this
tcady drift away rom democracy
e night even live to see freedom
OF the time perish from the earth.
This sort of citizenship will call for
Enlightenment and character, but
oot Of all for courage. 1t always
and everywhere costs to be free
nen, but it is always worth all that
t costs-the chance to breath the
1oon air of liberty, air that is large
nd free and stimulating and in
Nhich alone can wise and good and
lappy men and women live and
grow
Democracy leaves every man
free to do his best. I profoundly be-

Very Difficult to Detect

a few inches. This eliminates any
tendency toward a heavy. boxey
look, with the result that this type
cannot be distinguished from any
other deeply cushioned couch dur
ing the day.
If you are called upon for addi-
tional sleeping quarters only coca
sionally you will be inclined to put
considerable stress on the daytime
appearance of your convertible bed
because it is most often in its day
time guise.
In this case the good looking sofa
beds and love seats that can be
easily and quickly transformed into
beds will have the most appeal for
you. They are being made in au-
thentic period styles that are just
as attractive as any single-purpose
pieces of furniture, and the closest
scrutiny will fail to reveal their
night time usefulness. The sofa beds
and love seats are equipped with
excellent mattresses and springs and
can be opened out into either q
large double bed or twin beds.
Storage Closets
Save Space.
Another space saver and useful
device is the new storage closets
designed either as moth protection
for your winter garments or addi-
tional storage space for everyday
use. Former portable storage clos
cts were so cumbersome and ugly
that most housewives preferred TAX
ing a chance on moths to having
one of these drab affairs in the
house. This new closet, however,
combines all the attractive features
of a decorators piece with the
utility of ample, safe storage space.
Beautifully finished in a neutral
beige linen covering, it is trimmed
with finely f1uted brown wood. 1t
will be charming complement to
any room regardless of its decorative
scheme.
Made of sturdy fiber board with
hammered metal corners this closet
assures durable and dustproof stor-
age. It is large and roomy, stand
ing over feet high, and is equipped
to hold Is garments and world Of
accessories. Just press shiny but
ton on the top and the door slides
down; lift the bottom panel and it
reveals added storage space for shoes.
It Is also fitted with a container
which emits a penetrating fragrance
destined to keep moths away and
turn your clothes out fresh and
sweet smelling.
Scientists warn us to make Ger
tain that garments have been COM
pletely cleaned before storage. This
means dry cleaning for most gar
ments and careful laundering for
others. With your clothes immacu-
lately cleaned and stored in a prac-
tically alright, dustless, portable
closet. the battle is usually won!

The Proper
FOrAu
Yes, Ma'am' Is a
Colloquial Term
In This Country
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Does a lady
or a gentleman ever grow too old to
say "Yes, ma'am" and "Yes, sir" to
elders?
Answer - According to worldly
usage Eyes, ma am" is said only to a
queen. 1t is a colloquial expression
in the United States and, where
used, people would say it just as long
as there were any ladies present who
were very much older than them
selves. Everywhere in the polite
world gentleman says Eyes, sir" to
other gentleman who are much older
until he himself becomes one of the
eldest generation, and then younger
men say 1t to him. Correctly, every
man calls his father "sir"-but he
does not call his mother ma am.
The why Of this, don't know.
DEAR MRS. POST: My fathe,
died a few months ago and my
mother wondered if widow ever
discards her wedding ring. Mother
doesn't want to put her wedding ring
away, you understand, but it is a
diamond band and it is very notice
able that several stones are missing
1t would be more expensive than we
can afford to replace them right now
Answer-It would give an unfor-
tunate impression should a widow
who dearly loved her husband dis
carded her wedding ring after his
death. 1t seems to me the best
thing to do, If the stones are all of
the same size, is to move some of the
stones so as to fill in as long a space
of diamonds as possible, and have
the space that will be all holes
filled in smooth with metal. The
cost of this repair would be very
little, and the ring should look very
well. She would keep the plain part
underneath. But if it should swing
around on top the plain section
would look quite all right. I might
add that if it is likely that she OF
her children can have the stone re-
placed, thin casing of gold might
be wrapped around the stoneless
portion of the setting. leaving it in
tact underneath. But the probabil-
ity is that the whole setting is weak
and making it solid would be best
as well as easiest and cheapest.

have been. The best and briefest
suggestion we can make is to use it
sparingly, particularly in the day
time. When you're young and
healthy you don't need much-and
you have many years ahead when
you will need it. So let your skin
get by on its natural loveliness as
long as possible. Don't gild the lily!
Keep your teeth clean, using a
dentifrice that your dentist recon-
mendS. And don't let decay get
start. That's not only beauty
rule, but health rule as we'll And
it will help avoid the kind of breath
that shocks the ad writer's.
Your hands require special care
because they take a particularly bad
beating, and because people notice
them. Cleanliness is the first rule
here, too. No mourning bands
around the nails. No CRIME ground
into the palms. And, if you're a
girl, no Clipped. cracked nail
enamel. If you wear it at all, re-
new it often enough to keep il
looking right. And remember that
the red that is devastating with an
evening gown may be simply horri-
BILE in Office or classroom.
Finally, word about posture. No
matter how tall or short you are,
or how good or bad your figure is,
erect carriage will improve it tre-
mendOuSlV Don't StOon or slollch
Keep your head up and your tummy
in. When you sit, sit-don't just
collapse. Keep your feet on the
floor. Don't let them wander over
chair arms, twine around legs OF
rungs, or sprawl half way across the
room.
So there you are-the fundamen-
tails of making the most of your
physical equipment. Check up on
yourself. Find good long mirror
and take a good long lookl

Manners
of the
Moment

Dancing in the midst OF bunch
Of jitterbugs, If you aren't patterned
upon their lines yourself, can be
most discouraging. You feel uncom-
monty like a large lump OF lead
thrown into the center OF an angel
food cake.
It's not the fault of the jitterbugs,
suppose. They're having their
fun, and probably don't notice you.
But it's not exactly your fault that
you haven't the talent for hopping
violently around the dance floor.
Probably the only way to keep
yourself from acquiring depress-
ing sense of ineptitude and old age,
Is to make rule never to dance
unless there is at least one other
couple on the floor that dances your
way. If they are all jitterbugs just
try to content yourself with watch
ing. It isn't bad sport and, I
should say, somewhat more becom-
ing to the average figure than
bouncing. JEAN.
