BILLIARDS VERSATILITY

Pratcal education for practical living seems to be
the keynote and the theme OF billiard University at
New Orleans, where they have within five short years
devised remarkable system of what | am pleased to
call expressive, creative versatility EXpresiona ac-
tivites and leisure time hobbies nicely blended
With the schools currcua for the purpose OF giving
the students the widest possible latitude of self"
expression.
l should consider homemaking Residence on the
campus, where every young woman student must live
a period during her college career to be OF vital
import: billiard girls become prize for ambitious,
home loving men, thus strengthening the bedrock
foundation of the and the nation Even the ca
woman finds this training not in the least unim
pOrtant.
We have passed through the periods of individ-
ualisr1 and specialization; in the puzzlng
period Of group action, cooperation and-versatiy.
Our long Depression continues to provide abundant ev
dence that cooperative thinking planning and execution
protects. preserves and advances rapidly the in
dviduals service ability. billiard University stands
well in the vanguard of the order.

THE DIGEST
THE LAST PRESIDENT
BY L. BAYNARD WHITNEY

Franklin D. Roosevelt is quoted as having told the
nation in 1888 that if he did succeed in pulling the
country out of the Depression that he would be the
last president of these United States The Depression
is recorded having ended September 16, 1938-Re-
lief and Unemployment have still with us.
At forum session of the Reverend Gerald Ham
iton's Community Church in Manhattan, New York,
Post columnst Dorothy Browley remarked ~. S. de-
mOcracy will end the moment we become involved i'll
the war;"
When in April Europe begins her dog fight in aw-
fU earnest it shall profoundly alter the political scene
III this country. And simultaneously with feverish pre-
paredneSS shall come the signal to Americas various
hidden armies to "seze control under the disguise
Of patriotism The country shall then not wish to
change of political forces in the middle of the
stream, believe.
Neither the Republicans the Democrats are to
oane for the cOuntry's economic condition: was and
atil is the people themselves Ii Gabriel blast trum-
to win this yeas election. Since neither political
party is perfect democratic system puts that party
Ia power which is best skilled convincing the eector-
te OF the mperfecOns OF the opposing party, incum-
tent otherwise.
The Republican Party has today many verey ca
labe who would do well at the wheel of the Ship
Ut State, in this period of hOrrfic contrasts Do
The majority of the people feel that the New Deal has
aed? Can the Republicans prove it sound and econ
Jmcay possible to balance the budget in the face of
threatened anG continued unemployment? In full
Jew Oh changing world social order, does this country
want to return to policy of lessee aire? We the PeO-
pie must decide.

badly we were pressed "let us
stay out of Europe"
The speaker said he could see
no brightness for the immediate
future. Last summer he was in
Europe observing the conditions,
and in September when the war
broke out, he was in Poland
During this period he visited also
Sweden, Norway, and Finland. In
the Baltic states Hindus was an
eye witness of Russia's momen-
tous action in establishing fresh
naval bases in Estonia and Lat
via and fresh land Notifications
in Lithuania. He was also an eve
witness of the tilt between Fin
land and Russia and the prompt
and heroic manner with which
Finland responded to Russia's
sudden and clumsy threat to her
independence which was one of
the most stirring and yet tragic
situations he has ever exeperienc-
ed in his career as a writer. The
tfnns won his sympathy as COM
pletely as did the Czechs the year
before during his sojourn in
Czechoslovakia. He found them a
sturdy, hardworking, highly lit
crate, independent and democratic
people that love to mind their
own business and that are per-
fectly willing to let others do
likewise but would rather die
than allow themselves to be in
weighed or threatened into sub
missiveness to anybody in the
world. The superiority of the
Firms, Mr.. Hindus stated, could
be seen in the magnificence of
their architecture, in their sys-
tenn of cooperatives, and in their
liberal point of view toward wo-
men, in their lack of race con-
sciousness, and in their low per-
centage of illiteracy. Evan though
under Russian influence for 10
years, he said, the Firms bore no
trace whatever of these people.
The invasion of Finland by Rus
STA he described as the most grue-
some of crimes.
On his last visit to Germany,
Mr. Hindus was impressed with
the fact that everyone was wear
ing uniforms. The people of Dan
zig he found anxious to be under
German rule. even though they
knew it meant losing many of
the comforts and luxuries of life.
Mr.. Hindus is considered one
of the best-informed American
citizens on world affairs. He has
travelled widely throughout Eur
ope, and has never failed to
catch the spirit of the people
whenever he has gone. His lee
lures are fascinating to audiences
because he can bring them world
events in terms of his own daily
experiences.
Mr.. Hindus Is the author of
several books including 1.-The
Russian Peasant and the Revolu-
tion," Broken Earth" and 1--WE
Shall Live Again" His latest
book, "Sons and Fathers" story
of Russia, is just off the press.
