Russell said Z, then turned and
went out of the kitchen and up the
steep stairs. 1t was as near emo
ton as he had let himself come. He
knew clearly that he must not let
himself feel sorry for Dan. who had
always been unstable. careless,
mockingly independent even as a
boy. 1t was well over two years ago
that Dan had disappeared, saying
he was looking for what fun there
was in the world. Before that, he
had gotten into all sorts OF trouble.

been sent to. Once or twice a brief
scrawl on postcard had come, and
II was to one of these vague ad-
dresses that Russell had written,
saying their mother was dying and
wanted Dan to come home. And
Dan had received it in Jail. II was
good she had never known that. II
would have shaken the one belief
she had chung to. that Dan would
meet good girl somewhere, some
how. and she would make him over.
That had been a dream, too, like
all the other plans by which Dan
was to come out On top OF the heap.
Now Dan was back. and there was
no sign he had changed at all, ex-
cept to be more irresponsible than
ever. He had come home and calmly
broken a pane OF glass because the
door was locked. So he had always
broken anything which stood be-
tween him and the momentary OBJ
ject Of his desires. Like all shift
less people, he vas also ruthless.
He would stay here now until he

appear again He would accept no

Dr. Peabody of Groton School

Rev. Dr. Endicott Peabodys aim in founding Groton School, Groton, Mass, was, in his own words, to have a school s'where boys and men could live together, work together and play together in friend ly fashion" The school has flourished since Dr. Peabody, who died at the afe of eighty-Seven years last Friday, first founded it and became the headmaster His school and system were outstanding in the countrys preparatory schools for boys, noted for strictness and plain, simple living for the boys who enrolled there.
 Groton School registered boys at birth and among the notables of the country to have their early schooling there are Franklin D. Roosevelt and his sons, and Theodore Roosevelt, his sons and grand sons.
 Going to Groton was social asset in the life of any boy, but it was likewise difficult job in that there was no favorit- ism, no catering to whimS, and no indif- ference as to application and following rules. Boys must take what Groton had to offer, and the headmaster and his as- Sistants carried on the early tradition of the school through the fifty-six years Of Dr. Peabody'S reign there. In Dr. Pea body'S passing education as taught in the private school loses distinguished gentleman, moulder of character and teacher.

It's In The Cards

It's early to talk about them, but Christmas cards are the all important thing, or things, these days. There is no custom that has more popular appeal, and there is nothing that is more Walcome than a Christmas card Their fascination is Somthing that is felt by all This year there is a big rise in the sales, we are told. This can be appre- ciated in the fact that already the racks show the results of the early onslaught
 This year, it is said, American design leads in popularity Since there is no accounting for tastes in anything, you will find diversity of tastes in choosing cards Some lean to the simple with nothing but the lettering and expressions of the season on the card. Others go in for the holly and the Christmas trees, the bells, and any of many Christmas symbols. Still others like the out-of- doors winter scenes; or the honey in- terior. Some cards go to the dogs, but but these have lost favor somewhat, and the flag and soldier boys are in the de- signs for cards these war years.
 The incest cards of all tell the story of the religious significance, which makes it picture of the Holy Family in many styles, the crib and the shepherds cen tered. The outdoor scene which gives you the shepherds or the wise cen fol- lowing the star is one of the works of art of Christmas card designers. We like to get them and we like to buy them Whether it's home for Christmas or home at Christmas, cards sent and received tell much of the individual

Words From the Wise

It used to be that newspaper could come out bravely in favor of home and motherhood without much fear of con- tradiction. But nowadays, with progress sive education and all, it isn't as safe as it used to be. So we are pleased to see that MademoiSelleS Annette, Cecile, Emile, Marie and Yvonne Dionne SUD- port us in our fearless stand. We feel justified in citing the Miles. Dionnes' views because, as members of the senior of the worlds two known sets of quln- tupletS, those views demand respect. Otherwise the United Press wouldn't have sent man all the way up to Callan- der, Ont, to get the first formal press interview that the girls have given. The UPS long-range planners probably felt that, having lived on this earth for 1OE2 years under somewhat unusual circum- stances, the young ladies might have something interesting to say. They were right. The early life of the Miles. Di- onne was contradictory. Although shel- tered and guarded, they were public property. Their very existence altered other peoples lives, made tidy fortunes, provoked bitter battles. Yet their first ln- terview made it clear that all this has left them untouched, and realistic and normal to boot.
 After ten years of constant com panionship, the five Miles. Dionne are still friends They seem able to think inde- pendently but without animosity, and to agree on fundamentals. That is con- dition which any family of children or nations might envy, and we hope that the post-Dumbarton Oaks conferences will take note of the DionneS' example. Thus the young ladies all had different plans for career, but were in unani- nous agreement that the world was very big. And while differing in their ap- praisals, they expressed general ap- proval of Santa Claus, Americans and people (the last two apparently not being synonymous in the UP interviewer's mind). A quint may look at queen, and all five of these quintS have. And very nice queen it was, too.
 But the young ladies told the inter viewer, emphatically and as one, that they didn't want to be a queen. It lr1- wolves too much sitting down, said one; you get honored too much, said an- other; a queen has to meet too many people, said the third; there isn't enough fun and freedom, in the fourtE'S opinion; and the fifth decided she couldn't do what she wanted to if she were queen. Poor childern, they have been honored, gasped over, stared at, SequeStered and secluded as much as most queens. But there's no bitterness in their remuneration of royalty-juSt pity, understanding ana disinclination. The Miles. Dionne are rich little girls. They have been movie actresses, and have shaken hands, with a king and queen. But what was "the most wonderful thing that ever happened to them?" That was easy: for one it was her first communion; for another, her last birthday party; for all, being home with mama and papa and under one roof with all their brothers and sisters.

StreamIining the WLB

Pending resignations of VILE Chair man William H. Davis, vice chairman pr. George w. Taylor, and third public member, Dr. Frank F. Graham, may lead to long-needed readjustment of the WLB. The Board has generally func- toned as well as possible, but its public labor-management setup has made ef- fective and efficient work difficult.
 The very presence of management and labor representatives on an impartial mediation board has always cast shadow on the public members integrity. And the WLB has consequently functioned as one would expect, with questions lnvolv- ing policy being decided almost always on policy basis by the special repre- sentativeS.
 If appeals are to be decided on merit, there is no need for men from business and industry on the one hand and men from two rival union groups on the other to look after interests. It is time the VILE were reorganized on purely pub lie" basis.

Suckers and Skeptics

A Chilean radio producer put an adap- tation of Orson Welles' famous 'Men from Mars" broadcast on the air the other night and achieved the same frightening response. Citizens of Chile Succumed to panic, heart attacks, and an urge to run screaming into the streets in their night clothes, even as New York and New Jer- sey citizens did six years ago.
 All of which confirms our earlier SuS- picion that one thing that got our world into its present sorry fix is that its in- habitants were all too ready to believe in Martian invasion, despite elaborate assured that it was all dead earnest.
 much too reluctant to credit the possi- bility of Axis invasion, though they were assured that it was all in dead earnest.

Critics Seventy Years Late

Ironically, the doctors, who have been criticized without mercy by Liberals" for not being more progressive in expanding medical service, are far in advance of their critics in important aspects.
 "For many years," says Doctor John HI Fitzgibbon, Chairman, Council on Medical Service and Public Relations, American Medical Association, "the med ical profession of this country has urged the establishment of an agency of Fed eral government under which shall be coordinated and administered all medical and health functions of the Federal gov ernment, exclusive of those of the Army and Navy Since 1875, the American Medical Association has urged the estab- lishment of this agency.
 Surely the health of the people of this country is of sufficient importance to justify this step. The creation of such an agency with a secretary of cabinet rank and commission including an adequate number of competent, experienced phy- sicianS, would do more to accomplish unity of purpose and execution than any thing I can think of Is there any logi- cal reason why this change should not be conSummated? An agency of this kind, devoting it's entire energies to one large problem would certainly be the first step in constructive program. Why has this reorganization of Federal health functions been delayed? After Advocating this measure for 69 years, believe that it is now time for the medical profession to do something about It." Here is a case where the critics are 70 yea1z behind the doctorsl
