DO WE. PRoGREss

Does the world move forward?
sometimes it seems not, when wars null
tiply in number and destructiveness,
when social problems pile up and seem
insoIubIe.
And yet, as GoIiIeo sold, it moves.
ShoII we ever return, think you, to the
sort Of conditions, described by Or. Wal
ter N. Polokov in a recent United Mine
Workers Journal, which once prevailed
in Scotch coal mines? Ancient reports
Of an investigating commission Of 100
years ooo told this:
Zone girl :. began work at oee 10,
is now ", and works II to Ia hours q
doy; her fother gets z shiIIines every
fortnight for her work -. {. another girl
began at the oee Of 8 to work from z O.
m. until ! pm. -. 4 have had the
strop when ! didno do my bidding i.
This girl had to travel the height of St.
Poul's Cathedral with " hundred
weight on her back"
Yes, BLOCK as some phases Of the
future look, there ore some things
which will never return; there ore some
fields in which the command is still,
forward"

Writing in "Bonkine." Albert w.
Atwod soys: THE 'elimote' in regard
to the relationship between banks and
the government has changed decidedly
for the better. Bankers ore no longer
money changers to be driven from the
temple, but an essential and integral
port of the defense program. Consider
ina tnot the commercial banks Of the
country mode "a, oo8. 600 credit extern
sions in 1899, for an aggregate Of $780,
100000, it is plain enough that
they will have q control role to play in
serving their country in l94l."
We must rely on private banking
to q very large extent to finance defense
the building Of new factories, the ex-
ponsion Of existing plants. etc. II gov
eminent did this, the drain on toxpoy-
ers would be ruinous. Government has q
terrificoIIy difficult job in raising
money needed for purely governmental
purposes which ore outside the sphere
Of banking ond business. In order to
preserve the democracy our defense
program is intended to sove, it should
be our fixed policy for government not
to spend one cent which con be provided
by private sources.

BATTLE AGAINST TIME

The National Physicions Commit
tee, an organization dedicated to the
extension of medical service, has re-
Ieosed q pamphlet that puts in black
and white few of the outstanding
achievements Of American medicine.
No man olive could tell the full story
Of those achievements, Of years Of
heortbreoking laboratory work, Of lives
spent in solving q single minute riddle
in the endless bottle Of life and death.
The bald foct, for example, that
the life Of the overoge man has been
doubled in the short span Of q century
and q half, from IS to 81 years, may
strike many as simply the march Of
civilization, something bound to come.
They forget that nothing moves for
ward OF its own momentum except time
itself. All else is q feverish bottle
against time.
The overwhelming handicap Of
mankind in the struggle to expand and
learn, hos been the oppolIingIy brief
period which men Of great minds ore
given to explore and poss on to the rest
of US the secrets of what we coll, for
lack of more fitting name, q better
civilization. Medical progress has given
these men more time. Moreover, it hos
made it possible for the ordinary in
dividuoI to largely spend the first thirty
years of life acquiring an "educotion"
to fit him to meet the problems con-
fronting him in modern society.
It is q lot farther to the top" now
odoys than it was fifty years ago. A
staggering omount Of technical know
ledge is essential in virtually any line of
modern endeovor. The thrill Of oceomp-
Iishment is sweet when the upward
climb has been long and hard. Working
in the background have been thousands
Of men, experts in their field, the men
Of medicine, constantly giving US more
and still more time to enjoy life and
conquer new worlds for ourselves and
our fomiIies. We should seek q fuller
knowledge of their work and problems,
in order to obtain the fullest possible
measure Of benefit from medical pro-
oress.

WERE HIRED
INDEPENDENTLY

The adaptation of Zone SUM-
day Afternoon" now called
Strawberry Blonde" was done
by the brothers and is a fine
picture. For the past month
they've been wrestling with
The Man Who Came to Din
ner," which is mostly Z job Of
laundering the racy lines of
George Kaufman and Moss Hart.
The Epsteins say confidently
their picture will be as funny
as the play If the right man can
be found for the leading role.
It's at lunch in the studios
Green Room that the twins are
most in evidence. The long Ia
BILE where the writer's sit Is new
er exactly quiet, but that end
of the room Is bedlam by the
time the Epsteins have unfolded
their napkins. They're always
carrying the torch for some OBJ
scure cause, or tearing other
peoples pictures to shreds, or
whooping about the merits Of
some obscure person they've de-
cided Is a genius. Often they
argue about the charms and
futures of the many photogenic
cuties whose pictures are fetch
ingly displayed around the walls
Of the restaurant.
The Epsteins were not always
quite as close as they are now.

rotary around when they're in
the throes of composition, and
they don't use typewriters; they
jot things down in longhand.
The noises that come from
their office are startling. The
way the terrible twins polish
dialog Is by acting 1t out, so
they make up In lung power
what they may lack in emotional
intensity. Studio executives
were satisfied with this method
at first because they only had to

know whether the Epsteins were

though, under pressure from
other creative employees, the
bosses have indicated II will be

HOLLYWOOD - Probably
the only twin scenarists in the
world are Julius and Phillip
Epstein. Anyway, Hollywood
agrees somewhat thankfully it
never has seen or heard any
thing like them.
The brothers are alike as two
troglodytes, except that one is
slightly-ah - less handsome
than the other. A stranger would
assume they do pictures for
George Raft, Humphrey Bogart,
ct al, or maybe for Boris Kar-
loft. AS a matter of fact, they
never have written a gangster
picture or creepy-ieepy. They
do comedies mostly, and also
that family series of Four Daugh-
tiers. Four Wives, Four Mothers,
and such.
Not identical. twins. in the
medical sense, the Epsteins still
are almost perfect doubles even
to the identical degree of semi
badness. They're only 81. Each
is certain he has much more
hair than the other; otherwise
they think alike. They also talk
alike, are equally argumenta-
tive, ebullient, and have the
same exemplary habits about
exercise and abstinence from
smoking and drinking. Each is
married and has two children.
