SIX MONTHS LATEB

The war in Europe is now si1
months old. During that time the
hOt-heads of European Governments
have undoubtedly cooled OF a good
deal. This observation is promoted
10y the cordial reception given to I'm
der-Secretary of State Welles by
MussOlini and Hitler. neither OF
whom couldn't say a decent word in
behalf of Democratic Governments
half a year ago.
There Is far less political hysteria
in the United States about war than
six months ago. The representatives
of the people at the National Capital
are using less "ifs" about the pOssi-
bility and probability Of being drawn
into the European War. That is Il
good sign.
Wclles is a messenger Of peace
from the most powerful Government
i'm the World. II is hard to see how
anybody ca nObject TO that kind of a
because there Is no greater
object that might be sought by either
an individual or a public oficial than
peace. Don't be surprised IL Welles
brings home some pieces of peace
bacon.

THE DOCTORS TRUST

The Federal Courts are struggling
with the question as to whether the
practice of medicine is to be regu-
lated as a trade" under the Sher-
man Antitrust Act An indictment
was found against the American Med
ical Association and Local Medical
Societies in the District Of Columbia
and Texas for conspiracy to restrain
trade"
The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals for the District has upset
the decision of a lower court In ia
vOr of the doctors and in the reversal
sustains the charge that there was a
conspiracy. Probably the case will
find its way to the United States Su-
preme Court which will have to set
tie the controversy as to whether the
Sherman Act can be used at this late
date to include the practice Of medi-
cine inasmuch as the present status
OF the case holds that the medical
profession is engaged in commercial
activity as a trade"
Physicians and their defenders
throughout The entire country are
very critical of those branches of the
Government that appear to be going
after the doctors. and charging that
they are a trust.

WHAT IS CLEAN POIITICsf

The Hatch Act forblds Federal en-
ployeos from engaging I'll political
affairs. and the latest chapter OF this
story concerns extending Its pro-
visions TO cover State employees paid
In part from Federal funds.
With these principles no one need
disagree. But In view OF the long
history connected with legislation,
abundant with orders Of Departments
OF the Government. and speeches by
political leaders. there has been one
result-and that is that such laws
have been complete failures.
II is perfectly clear that hundreds
OF thousands Cf public employees
who receive all or part Of their mon
ey from Federal funds will Obey ma

WHEN THE FIRE ENGINES GO By

Few OF us ever get over that juye-
nile urge to follow the fire engines.
It's a thrill to hear the sirens, and
see the great red wagons clang by.
But that thrill wouldn't last long
If the fire engines led you to your
house, and you found it in flames.
And the surge of excitement would
die n nearly death &c the fire razed
the factory or the store IN which
YOU worked
Every fire. great or small, brings
trouble TO some one. And high per-
centage of fires leave stark tragedy
in their wake--loss OF life. loss Of
employment, loss Of possessions
which never can be replaced. There
are no mitigating qualities in fire.
II is the great destroyer.
More than that, the effects Of fire
are exceedingly widespread. A fire
Of which you never heard may de-
prive you of an opportunity for do
ing business. Il may raise your
taxes and your insurance rate. It
may adversely affect your future life
and income.
Here in America fire destroys some
$500, 100000 worth of property d.
rectly each year. The indirect loss
is estimated at close to $4,000, ,O00,-
900. There can be no excuse for that
waste. no alibis. Nine fires out Of
ten are the result Of human ignOr-
ance. human carelessness, human
thoughtlessness. Nine fires out of
ten could have been prevented-had
someone not failed to take the sim
pie precautions that will checkmate
most fires.
