RETURN OF AN EXILE

One of the most important per- scnaees of foreign birth in the United States is the ex-President of Chile, Carlos Davila, who for eight years has been living in New York. Formerly a newspaper man in Chile, he has gone back to his old trade, has built up an influential news paper syndicate covering South America
 For years, Davila wanted to re- turn to his homeland, but was wor- ried over how he would be received. Finally, few weeks ago, he paid visit to Chile.
 As his airplane approached north ern Chile, bad weather forced him to spend the night at Antofagasta. This was the city where the revolt started which busted Carlos Davila as President. Eight years ago feel ing was so hostile that the ship which carried him out of Chile could not touch at Antofagasta harvor.
 Almost immediately Davila heard that the old revolutionary com- mittee which had started his down. fall awaited him. This time, how ever, they rendered him a dinner, and to man they toasted his re- forms as President.
 NOTE-Davila passed 100 laws during his term of office, and ev- cry one of these remains on the statute books of Chile today. He was given a tremendous ovation wherever he went in Chile-but fi- nally decided to come back to his newspaper job in New York.

Pessimism Versus Realism
Cincinnati Enauirerl

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
 Just now there are persistent rumors from men with ainside information" that in month six weeks such interval the United States will be at with Japan It should be obvious to any intelligent persons that such information" is un- trustworthy. It is completely safe assumption that neither the Japanese nor the American Government knows what is going to happen If neither of them knows it is clear no outsider knows
 It is possible, of course that war will come, and quickly. But there is difference between pes simism and realism. It is realistic, and therefore wise, to recognize the gravity of the tension and the possibility of conflict. But it would be unWar- Iantedly pessimistic to accept inevitable And pessimsm has a way of breeding hysteria, which in itself might augment the tension and lead to a struggle otherwise avoidable
 In a world of grasping totalitaran Relationships, strong peace-oving democracy such own cannot afford to commit itself to war in advance Or to commit itself flatly against resort to We dare not tie hands in advance of events, because that would paralyze the engines of Ameri- diplomacy. We can only resolve to avoid war if it can be avoided honorably and safely But we must resolve with equal firmneSs to adhere to 2 proper policy, that safeguards future secur ity though that firmness involves some risk of conflict.

POTOMAC CRUISE

For people who weren't urea at ihe outset. the Presidents last trip down the river was dull cruise But for most of the party, dullness was welcome after the election strain.
 There were five nights on the Po- tomac, leaving Washington We'd nesday evening and not returning until Monday morning. For the first three days the weather was bad-very oakland there was noth- ing to do but sleep and read.
 But the President was happy. The Great Uncertainty was over and he browsed over a good detective story daring the author to keep him awake.
 There were maps in the daytime, followed by long hours of sleep at night. And all during the night, the ship kept cruising. Sea-going Roosevelt likes to hear the dull throb of the motors. On him 1t has the effect of a cradle song.

prising events are forecast.
 International Affairs: Economic crises are prognosticated as the re- suit of efforts of dictators to con- trol finance. Europe will suffer many of the hurts intended for Americans. Efforts to shut our products from world markets will prove disappointing as new chan nels of commerce open and tn e Western Hemisphere gains inde- pendence of the Axis powers. Warn ing is given that the effects of what is to be long war will be felt. It is quite impossible to es- cape from certain hurts in a world gone mad.
 Persons whose birthdate it IS have the augury of a year of varied luck with the tides of success ris- ing and falling. Changes should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be extremely clever. With mental vision and unusual talents they will have great possibilities in made-over world.

ANOTHER RUSH SEEN

Another rush of these young graduates to the colors is expected as soon as the colleges close their first term sessions in January. Practically an avalanche of en- listments is anticipated when the school year ends in June.
 An interesting paradox which has put puzzled furrows in the heads of Army and draft officials is that although they have sought, by all means of publicity, to make Army life as attractive as possible, they have had to do everything in their power to prevent (until the Army can handle them that rush to the colors that invariably comes with patriotic hysteria.

SPRING CHECK
Lights and Brakes Should be
Inspected to Assure
Safe Driving.

An urgent appeal to all Minnesota
motorists to give spring checkup to
the lights and brakes on their cars was
sounded this week by w. F. Rosen-
valid, traffic engineer Of the state high
way department. He based his plea
on accident figures for last year which
show that SAT motor vehicles involved
in accidents in 1899, of which Al were
fatal, had defective lights or brakes.
TOO many motorists" said Rosen-
valid, take for granted the various
safety devices on the present-day motor
cars they are driving. They fail TO
have faulty brakes adjusted or re-
paired; they turn on the light switch,
never thinking that one Of the head
light bulbs may have burned out. In
other words, they operate their cars
under the impression that, like or
Man River they will keep rolling along
without any attention at all"
He remarked that filling station OPP
orators and attendants can play a very
important and helpful role in the high
way departments never-ceaSing cam
paign against faulty or improper lights
if they will call such defects to the
attention of motorists who stop at
their stations for service A polite Sug-
geStion that a burned-out bulb be re-
placed will be appreciated by the
motoriSt.
Although it is illegal to sell or use
motor vehicle lamps, reflectors, signal
devices or parts for any of these items
unless they have been approved by the
commissioner of highways, recent in
vestigations by the department have
disclosed that many automotive stores
in the larger cities have been selling
such unapproved equipment. Although
these stores have been requested to
stop selling such equipment, it still is
the responsibility of the individual
motorist to buy and use only approved
light equipment, Rosenwald pointed out.
