BETTER RECORD

Lieut.. Col. Harold A. Furlong
chief draft medical officer for
Michigan and the states new de-
Tense administrator also witnessed
yesterdays induction
He pointed out that during the
first draft call of last November.
1871 per cent were rejected by
physical examination. whereas on
the second. or January call, just
completed. only l5.7 per cent were
rejected. He attributes the i'm
proved record to the experience
gair I'd by draft boare physicians.
Lieutenant Colonel Furlong said
some 100 doctors in Michigan,
about one-fourth of those in the
state, now are working on the
draft. either as examining doctors
or in an advisory capacity-all
without pay.

SAVINGS INCREASING

For the seventh consecutive year,
savings deposits Of the banks Of the
United States have increased.
Lost midsummer they reached the
stupendous totol Of SIS, $50, csc, OOO
There were IS. 79l .265 accounts. and
while that does not mean the same
number Of depositors, since some peo-
pie have more than one account, it GER
toinIy suggests that savings ore more
widely distributed among the people
than some would have us think.
This gives q cIew to the funds the
government proposes to top IL it begins
to foot war loans in the manner Of
1919. For this is money on deposit,

Newman of Washington made

line would probably be fatal.

would give him the ninth with

ately returned q low diamond,

king won. The eight Of dia-
monds was led and won by the
queen. East led q fourth

SHALL SOLDIERS LOSE
Their VOTE?

Governor Lehman Of New York is
taking the lead in presenting to his
stote legislature the problem Of the SOL
der voter For many years, perhaps,
hundreds Of thousands Of Americans
will be in militory service at election
time.
We need to revise our old views Of
soldier voting in view Of new conditions.
Time was, with small professional
army, that it mottered little whether
soldiers voted or not. But with peoples
armies roised on todoy's scale. Governor
Lehman is right when he reminds the
legislature of his stote that ut is i'm
portont that their right to vote be pre-
served. The New York law is deficient
in this respect, and Governor Lehman
wants the matter remedied.
Every stote hos different laws on
the subject of soldier voting, and every
one ought to re-exomine those laws.
The guiding principle is written in
marble on the Amphitheoter in Airing
ton National Cemetery at Washington:
when we assumed the soldier we
did not lay aside the citizen"

. HiehIights From
The Latest Books .

Consider the fact that Prof.
Raymond S. Sites (Antioch Col
lege, Ohio) has been at his task
since 1918, and you begin to
sense something Of the achieve
ment that his bulky, beautiful
book, 1.-THE Arts and Man"
(Whittlesey House: $500. The
indefatigable teacher Of esthet-
ics has been engaged five years
in the actual writing alone.
But he should be amply re-
warded, despite the fact his book
came out a bit too late 10 catch
its full share of year-end plau-
dts. The Libraries are going
to put this down as one Of the
most exhaustive histories Of art,
and the reader who has any
interest in the arts at all Is 60
ing to find it invaluable.
It is invaluable because 1t ties
the great painters, the great
sculptors and architects of the
world to the particular age In
which they lived. The result
Is you discover a great deal you
never knew about the influence
Of history on art. Athens, for
instance, during the last days
of Pericles, was the most demo-
cratic city In the world, cites
Professor Sites: Religious, po.
litical, and esthetic discussion
reached q degree Of freedom
never before known and from
this spirit of free inquiry rose
the great art Of the Periclean
age"
So much for the advancement
of art under the democracies.
Professor Sites traces Il under
all forms, through all ages, from
the crudest figure Of the hunting
age down to the art Of the 20th
century, some of which, iron
ically, seems just as crude. There
are 800 pages, more than 1000
illustrations in this book-eieht
in full color, including The
Madonna of Chancellor Rollin,"
attributed to Jan or Hubert Van
Eyck, 1882, and Supper at Em-
maus" by Rembrandt, 1o4S.
Professor Sites, Incidentally,
sees little hope for art under the
dictators. III the world - q
whole accepts the type Of gov
eminent represented by the
Third Reich In Germany" he
warns, "the esthetic styles will
approximate those of ancient
Mesopotamia, Imperial Rome
and the RomanesQue period OF
Europe. Between 1894 and
1910, most Of the buildings con-
structed IN Germany and Italy
evidence this STYLE"

CAN. WE DEPEND on rHlsi.

Howard C. Hopson strutted his lit
tie hour>ocross the stnte-ond very
bia shot he wos, too He wos able to
ploy ducks and drotes with congress
sionoI committees whowonted his testi-
n1ony in their investigation OF lobbying,
to oppeor only at his pleasure, and then
with a very cocky and comploisont ot-
titude.
Now, q broken and whinpering
man who mumbled dozedIy through his
trioI, he goes to lewisburg Prison to
serve a five-yeor sentence.
It is of no use to eloot over the
downfall Of Hopson,, q sneuIorly unot-
troctive man personally in contrast
with more vivid and magnetic scoun-
dreIs who have gone before him. There
is more at stoke here than the fote Of
single individual who inflated himself
at other peoples expense until for q
brief moment he thought he was bigger
than the peoples government itself. At
the very moment Of his greatest orro-
eonce, port of the $40. O0O, 900 he hod
obtained frouduIently from customers
and stockholders was in his pockets. He
was using port Of it to ottempt to in
fluence the course Of national legisIo-
ton.
But Hopson's lawyer, pleading for
ieniency, made q remark to the court
which is worthy Of ottention. "AIl Of
these transactions were in years gone
BY" he sold. "Stondords were different
then. He was the victim Of the stand
ords Of different era"
Can we depend on that?
One certoinly hopes SO. No system,
economic, political, or socioI, can SUR
vive unless those who ore in positions
of trust prove themselves trustworthy.
No more deody blows have ever been
struck at 1.-THE American Woy" than
have been struck from the inside by
men like Hopson who have used the So
cred name Of individuolism as cloak
beneath which to steal and defroud and
do deeds which looked devious and dark
when exposed to the doy'ieht.
We hope Hopson's lawyer was right
when he condemned Hopson's practices
to "a different ero." We have had re-
cent assurance from the highest circles
Of the utility business that the Hopson
kind Of now-you-see-it-now-you-don't
practices ore truly Of the post.
This all have q right to expect and
demond; none should hope more fer
ventIy that it is true than those whose
foith in 1.-THE American Way" is un-
shaken.
The American Way is, first Of all,
an honest way.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ~
The so-coIIed ''IiberoI" bloc Of
the House Of Represented es.
which hosn't besn heard OF
much since Moury Maverick
disappeared from the copltol
scene, Is trying to stoos q
comeback in this new Congress
under the leadership OF stocky,
combotive representative John
Coffee Of Washington stote.
ltisn't organized as O formi-
dobIe bloc, yet. It's merely an
informal, almost impFomptu
grouping Of somewhere be-
tween Is and so House men-
bers. Il has just enough OF an
organization to have q chair
man, who is Coffee. Its MEM
bers meet once q week during
sessions, usually in the Dodge
Hotel. There's generally q
speaker - sometimes q con-
eressmon, sometimes q New
Deal functionory, sometimes
an outsider-whose tolk is fol-
lowed by q chat on pending
legislation ard q discussion OF
current issues.
This group had more import
once earlier in the New Deal
than it has had since Maverick
Internationally brought it low
in his final term. He was chair
man, and was forever being re-
ferred to in print under thot
title. The average congress
man, liberal or otherwise, is
pretty jealous, so q lot Of bloc
members began to figure they
weren't doing onythine much
besides getting Maverick q lot
Of publicity, and attendance at
the MEETINGS dropped. Coffee
is keeping pretty much in the
background. nursing the bloc
back to vioor with due regard
for everyone's sensitivity.
