Bx THORNTON w. BURGESS.

To fly by night and to hide by day
The birds have found is the safest way.
Peter Rabbit pulled his whiskers
thoughtfully. He scratched his long
left ear with his long right hind
foot. Then he scratched his long
right ear with his long left foot.
After this he turned around three
times. 1t was all of no use, not the
least bit of use; Peter couldn't for
the life of him think of a single
reason why his feathered friends
should prefer to travel at night
instead of in the daytime. At last
he confessed that he couldn't guess.
Because it is the safest" replied
Welcome Robin. "I should think
any one would know that"
But why is it safest?" persisted
Peter. II should think it would be
safest in the daytime when you
can see where you are going and
watch out for danger. What dan
gers are there in the daytime that
there are not at night?"
Hawks" replied Welcome Robin.
But at night there are Owls"
protested Peter.
owls fly low and we fly high"
replied Welcome Robin. 1T is easy
enough to keep out of the way of
Hooty and his friends, but in day.
time we cannot fly high enough or
low enough to be safe from the
Hawks. So we fly by night and
rest by day. Besides, we have to
eat, and what chance of getting a
good meal would there be in the
night?"
do you go south by night with
the rest of them?" asked Peter.
Sometimes" replied Welcome.
don't mind some cold weather and
so go south rather slowly, keeping
just ahead of Jack Frost. Winsome
Bluebird does the same thing. So
does Little Friend the Song Spar
row. Sometimes we do not get very
far south. But most of the small
feathered folks go very far south,
and to do this in safety they fly by
night. AS they fly they call to each
other that none may be lost. 1t is
these calls which you have heard.
The tiny specks which you saw
cross the face of the moon were the
birds passing between you and the
moon. For every one you hear a
thousand pass unheard. Night after
night at this time of year they are
going over"
Obj said Peter. And then
again as he thought of the wonder
of this long journey he exclaimed
again, "Ohp

NtOoONs
Envelope is the surprise word OF
the week Do you say "On-vel-ope"?
Almost every one does, but careful
check of five American dictionaries,
Century, Funk & Wagnalls', Mac
millan's, Winston's, and Webster's,
shows that "ON-vel-ope" is not
listed at all in the first four, and
that Webster's lists it only as second
choice. Moreover, "ON-vel-ope" is
not to be found in the great British
authority, the oxford Dictionary.
"ON-vel-ope" appears to be sur
vival of those dear old basque-and-
hustle days of the last century when
it was considered quite elegant to
lard ones speech heavily with words
and phrases from the French.
But "ON-vel-ope," as heard in the
United States, is anything but
French. In France the word is
spelled envelope; in pronuncia-
ton it has but two syllables, the first
being strongly nasalized, and the
second receiving the accent. AS
near as it can be spelled phonetic
ally, the French pronunciation is
"ah(N) -VLUP."
oxford, Century and Macmillan
show as second choice the pronun-
citation with the French nasal IN"
But the first choice of all diction-
aries rhymes the en- of envelope
with men, hen, pen.
Correct recommendations: LIST choice:
EN- vel-ope.
Dubious: ON-vel-ope.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented.)

Psychologists May Solve
Mystery of War Feeling

Psychologists eventually may be
able to find the cause and cure of
the present world turmoil and pro-
vide preventive measures for the flu
ture, in the belief of DR.. George M.
Stratton, professor emeritus of psy-
chology at the University of Cali
fornia.
Where the economist, the polit-
ical scientists and the historian
have failed in the analysis of war;
clouded world, the psychologist may
find a practical solution he de-
clared
In DR.. STATIONS opinion, the
human element is the predominant
ing one in world crises.
'Germany's destruction of Czecho-
Slovakia, Italy's work in Ethiopia,
and Spain, Japan's war after war
upon China and the war prepare
tons in leading countries today"
he said, 'are matters which come
within the field of psychology. They
must be studied, not only by econ
omists, political scientists and histo-
rians but also by those whose
speciality is human conduct. In the
light of the fullest understanding
possible, the cure ultimately may
be found"
DR.. Stratton is confident that die
tators have a human side and can
be made amenable to other tactics
and forces than violence.
Occurrences OF the time are
most dangerous and difficult" he
said, but not like earthquakes and
tornadoes, which are always with
out inner intelligence and purpose.
Lawlessness in nations comes
from men who have passions, it is
true, but who also have loyalties
and human motives and have
learned something and can learn
something more.
There is widespread turmoil, but
also widespread desire to end it
and prevent its recurrence. Man
has been successful in downing
many types of violence which were
previously accepted by nations and
societies.
If we can find the answer as to
how the suppression of these vio-
lences was achieved, we can opti-
unsteady hope for still greater
achievements with nations, if they
deeply desire it, bringing their own
society out of chaos into order"

WHY NOT A GYMNASIUM?
Clintwood, Va

Last week the Dickinson Coun-
ty School Board was granted per
mission by the Board OF Super
vlsors to make temporary loans
for the purpose of contributing al
d1tlons TO the schol buildings az
Darwin and West Dante ana the
construction OF a new Two room
building on the loves emu OF Bag
Ridge
it is true that these buildings
were needed, and due to the finan-
cial situation, the school board is
forced to do business on a "shOe
string" margin with only the most
needed buildings being construct
ed. This leads the Herald to put
forward the suggestion that one
of the most needed buildings in
the county is a gymnasium at
Dickinson Memorial High School.
The boys and girls of Clintwood
and vicinity have too long been
handicapped by the lack of gym
nasium facilities, and the writer
is of the opinion that the waiting
period should be brought to an
end. WHY CANNOT A TEMPO
RARY LOAN BE MADE FOR
SUCH A PURPOSE? This is not
an unreasonable request, and the
loan need not necessarily be a
large one-just large enough to
provide materials. The w. P. A.
will provide the labor. If prop
erly approached w. M. Ritter
Lmbr. Co. would provide part of
the materials necessary for the
building.
We ask that citizens and mem
bers of the school board and board
of supervisors give this proposal
due consideration and unite to-
gether to help equalize education
al opportunities in D n o n
County. This would be big step
toward the final goal.

Clusters Rugged Horse
To Get Beauty Treatment

Comanche, the rugged horse
which alone survived the Custer In
dian massacre of 1876, is going to
receive a set of beauty treatments
from KLAUS Abegg, a Swiss taxi
dermist.
The horse, feature exhibit in the
Dyche museum at the University of
Kansas, survived the massacre of
Clusters regiment at the battle OF
the Little Big Horn without scar,
but dust, rain and leaking roof
combined to make the mounted ex-
hibit come apart at the seams.
Abegg said that the mounted steed
needed complete overhaul job
which includes stitching of the
cracked places in the hide and an
old-fashioned rundown to remove
dust and mold.
Comanche, veteran horse in the
Seventh cavalry, was returned to
the army outpost at Fort Riley,
Kan, after the battle and was &C.
corded military honors. Later the
animal died and was removed to the
museum here many years ago.

Elghty-year old Bunau Varilia. own CT ot the paper, started immediately to play ball with the Germans and the "Matin" was the first paper 10 be published in Paris after their arrival. Like King Solomon, Bunau Varllla surrounds himself with young girls, and his favorite for the last three years was a German lass.
 "Le Matin" and the Paris edition ot "Paris-Soir" are written in pig French by non-professional French staff and a professional German staff, as most legitimate French journalists refuse to work on these papers. When Maurice Maillard managing editor of "Matin," dared object to his papers submission to the Germans, Bunau Varilla phoned the Kommandantur. Maillard was given three hours to leave Gesta- paris for unoccupied France, and was told to cease all relations with "Le Matin' and Bunau Varilla-or else.
