Ethel Barrymore who holds the rec ord as first lady of the American stage did something last week that she never did before. She missed a performance because of cold. Stage folks are pretty regular, and you never find them asso- ciated with absenteeism except when they are, as they say, sick in bed. A good trouper is about the most conscientious person going La Barrymore's record is a pretty good one since she is on the stage fifty years

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Squedunk Clinic

Correspondents sometimes ask whether I recommend the Squedunk Clinic, let us say. or the Faraway Hospital, or the Ketchum Diag- nostic Laboratories, or the Hearth and Home Institute.
 Answer - What for? They may serve good pie there, or have some pretty girls dressed up like nurses. If you seek medical service I ad- wise you to consult a physician, not an institution.

 Whether this is true or not. the past is very important for every one of us. We cannot entirely forget it; we cannot shake off its effects, be they good or evil. What then can. We do about it?
 A famous English preacher many years ago delivered sermon on the topic, Making the Past Success" His point was that it is up to us whether the past becomes for us liability or an asset. If all we can do is forget the past, if we allaw its lessons to go unheeded, then the past becomes for us a huge and debasing failure. If, on the other hand, we use it as light with which to guide us in the momentary pres

When people ask him Where the hell was the British Eastern Fleet?p he says he answers with, What the hell was the East ern Fleet!" But the Japs thought there was a British fleet operating in the Indian Ocean to protect SUD- ply lines, and that's why they weren't more active in raids west of singapore. It was one of the biggest bluffs of the war, and it worked.
 
 Navy men are speculating that maybe Jap propagandistS have out snarted their own navy instead of ours. Just before our Philippines in- vasion the Japs announced in Tok- yo that they had destroyed our vest ern Pacific fleet. All Japan celebrat- ed. Maybe the Jap admirals believed the announcement.

PROBLEM WHAT TO DO
 WITH GERMANY" SOLVED

Old Congressional opponents of Leon Henderson are chuckling over the gossip that he may be appointed economic adviser to Germany. "He darn near ruined American busi- ness" their punch line goes. Think how he could wreck Germany if given free hand!"
 State Departments Foreign serv- ice retired Consul General Homer M. Byington with appropriate cere monies the other day after his AT years continuous service to his country all over the world. The event recalls the classic story of the three generations of Byingtons. MT. By1ngton ST. has a son. Homer Jr.. a Foreign Service officer like his dad but now stationed in Washing ton as head of the press room in the Division of Current Information Homer Jr. also has a son, Homer the third, and all three of them are chips of the same block, round faced, pink checked, smiling and pleasant under all circumstances. A. few years ago Homer Jr. was sta- t1oned in Naples as American Con- Sul. Homer ST. came through Italy on his way to new post some place in the Middle East and stopped of to see how his son was getting along in the job which he himself had held many years before. Homer Jr. took the infant Homer the third down to meet Homer the first, and it caused a senstaion. Excited Nea- politans began pointing and laugh ing. 'Look!" they shouted. "The old American Consul, the new American Consul and the next American Consul"
 FOREIGN SERVICE
 DIGNITY PRESERVED
 The Byington reception revived another favorite Foreign Service story about the time Undersecretary of State J. Reuben Clark, serving under Secretary Frank B. Kellogg in the Coolidge administration, made a little talk in which he referred to the unwritten Foreign Service Rule Number Six," which was, he said, Don't take yourself too damr seriously"
 Venerable and loyal Foreign Serv- ice employees were mortified. Such comment was belittling to the most aristocratic of all government agen- cies.
 A short time later, when Coolidge was out, Hoover was in and Henry L. Stimson was secretary of state, his undersecretary, Joseph Cotton, attempted to correct the Clark in- suit when he was called upon to speak at Foreign Service lunch con.
 T am told,' he said, "that there are number of rules for a new undersecretary of state to follow, and the most important is Rule Number Six The undersecretary of state shall not take himself too damn seriously"
 The older employees slept on that one overnight and decided it fixed up the diplomatic slur all right.

SOLDIERS RETURN
Continued from preceding page

There - that was a relief, any
how. To be able to say what he knew
to be true. The kid didn't want
modesty; he wanted the truth. And
he hadn't been too bad, either.
Looking back, the soldier recalled
things.
That day he'd stuck to the gun,
he and Dave, until they were prac-
tically blasted off it. And when
Dave went down, he'd carried on
alone somehow. Every shot fired
held up things bit and covered
a retreat. Yes, he'd done pretty
good job that day and he knew it.
He hadn't got a medal for it, of
course, but thousands of chaps
didn't get medals.
The boy spoke again: did you
save anyone on the battlefield" he
asked.
"Well - pulled my pal Dave in
when he stopped one."
Carried him in on your back?"
The traditional picture was stamped
on the boys mind - heroes on bat
tlefelds with wounded comrades
slung across their shoulders. amid
a rain of bursting shells.
That's So" the soldier answered.
He died in hospital afterwards,
though"
''But you saved him." the boy
said, going right to the point that
mattered - he'd done all he could
for Dave and Dave had known it.
The two in the quiet garden
looked at each other for spell with
out saying any more.
1t was odd, the soldier was think
ing, that he felt closer to this kid
than he'd ever felt to anyone. He
could say what he liked to him, and
every word he said went, without
question or criticism. The boys
eyes were like hazel-green pools,
clear and still, waiting for whatever
reflections life would throw into
them. :.
SUDDENLY the soldier saw that the
world of the future, and all that was
to take shape in it, lay in the hands
of kids like this. A better world,
everyone hoped. but only better i
someone taught them how to make
it so.
The teachers job, his job. :.
All of sudden he felt light
hearted, queerly happy. He put
his hand into his pocket and took
out battered foreign coin.
Like a war souvenir" he asked.
The boys grubby little fist closed
over the coin rapturously.
And the soldier knew that they
were sealing bargain.
