The Firing Line By D. N. T.

years is to run the risk of de- stroying some of our most cherished illusions "-David Dempsey in the New York Times Book Review.
 COOPERATION Oh, books that once were gay and
 true
 And bright effusions,
 Re-read, alas, too often do Destroy illusions.
 The books that hit the happy peak, When we've outgroWn 'em Are disenchanting; let us speak Nil niSi bonum.
 We ask ourselves how we could like The pawky title,
 As years and wisdom come to spike It less than vital.
 And yet, re-reading does not spoil These operas for me,
 Nor sessions under midnight oil With oldieS bore me.
 have too many friends, you see (And I saw durn em)
 Who always borrow same from me, And don't return 'em.
 MT. Truman, at times, is cOm- petely insetruable. He has named W AverilI Hartman succeed Henry A. Wallace-and what can a businessman possibly know about Commerce?
 Three A.FL. unions representing 5O,00O employees of the Western Union Telegraph Company have filed a strike notice. It is WiShful thinking, of course, but wouldn' t it De great if both parties to the dispute held, their future statements down to ten words?
 A Minnesota clergyman just back from Europe says that the United States remains the most drunken nation in the world. You'd never believe it to hear the others de- scribe their headaches.
 The Boston Herald ssees as "the only real tragedy, perhaps" in the meat situation the Hack of genu- inc mince pie" It is difficult to picture BostOnians resigned to a fate that brings them beans with out pork, however.
 Summaries of the summer are coming thick and fast, now that Fall is here officially. All the ex- perts are agreed that the season just ended was little warmer than the average summer, which will be surprise to millions of August vacationers, any one of whom could easily stand a whack on the back when he got back to the office. Coal mining is getting safer all the time, according to government statistics. The danger of an ex- plosion has decreased all around with the exception of one from John L. Lewis.
 The Chicago Tribune, in a dis patch from Paris, says that Jim Farley engineered the Wallace OuS- ter in conferences with MeSSrs Byrnes, Vandenberg and COnnally Apparently politics stops atthe wa terline-pauses, sumps and picks up again three thousand miles away
 A cookery columnist advises home gardeners to salvage blighted tom atoes by canning the good DOT tions. Ours are so blighted, how ever, that there isn't good DOT tion to get a hand-hold on if we feel like chucking few to settle an argument.
 It is encouraging to read that a gas mask which is a hundred times better than any other has been developed in this country We at least will be able to breath free ly during the few seconds while the atom bomb is descending. A number of "mysterious, catlike beasts" are terrorizing the village of Oquawka, Illinois.

Cooked A Fine Dinner:
Then Threw II To Doc

One lady recently stated that she
used to throw her own dinner to the
dog most Of the time. 1t made her
sick just to look at anything to eat.
She was swollen with gas, full of
bloat, had headaches, felt worn out
and was badly constipated. Finally
she got INNER-AID and says she
now eats everything in sight and di-
gests it perfectly. Bowels are regu-
lar and normal. She is enjoying life
once more and feels like some 9TH
er woman" since taking this New
Compound.
IINNER-AID contains IL Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable people
soon feel different all over. So don't

Service men appreciate the court
esy and generosity Of the manage
ment of the Empire State Building.
Now, and during the war, all service
personnel are admitted to the top of
the buildings to see the sights free of
charge. 1t costs civilians something
over a dollar for each trip to the
pinnacle of the tallest building in
the world, from which they view in
breathless splendor the wide panor-
anna of the worlds largest city. Hun
dreds of thousands Of soldiers and
sailors have enjoyed this magnifi-
cent sight and no doubt will always
be grateful to the people who were
foresighted enough to do such a
fine thing for them. For if a visitor
had only an hour to spend in this
city, he could ascend this towering
structure, spend a few minutes look
ing at the modern Babylon below,
and 60 away saying truthfully that
he had seen just about all of New
York.

Public librarians here are enter
ing the field of politics. At least they
are trying one Of the classical ma
neuvers Of political pressure for a
good cause. Now when you get a
book from the big public library at
42d street and 5th avenue, the little
slip of a woman there reminds you in
a quiet library voice that New York
needs for money for books; that
whereas such cities as Cleveland are
allowed 20 cents a book for its IL
braries, New York gets only three
cents; that-and now the quiet
voice is rising a little and the old
man with silver spectacles brings
his white head up out Of the big
volume he is reading nearby-li-
brarians are greatly underpaid and
more under-estimated; that every
one should-now the little lady's
voice comes out clear and strong and
she hands you a pamphlet to prove
it-write to the mayor and city
council and get them busy doing
something about New York's lacking
libraries. To which you sadly agree,
look around at the disturbed read
ers, furtively pocket the pamphlet
and sneak away.

Part Land, |s|et, Bridge, And Water

There is no great city in the
world where nature and art are
brought into more poetic relations
on the one cheek she is touched
by the ripples of the lake, on the
other she is saluted by the pillows
of the sea. We had read that this
was the Venice of the North. High
praise surely; but the voluptuous
and poetic charm which surrounds
the Bride of the Adriatic is far
less fascinating or stimulating
than that which girdles this
Northern Queen of the Baltic.
That strange and overmastering
desire with many travellers and
writer's to find in one place the
repetition of another, has recog-
nized in the pleasure-loving habits
of these people of the Paris of
the North" but in the words of
an eminent French author, in
whose strangely enthusiastic rec
ord of visit here we found. not
only a great charm, but also some
explanation of its singular fasci-
nation, we can truly say, Stock
holm is not a copy, but an orig
inal-an artists proof
The great lines of the town
which seem tangle of part land,
islet, bridge, and water - are
formed in solid rock, which is
everywhere divided by water
courses, bringing the harbor, with
its forest of masts, along the var
ious streets. The architects have
in all directions spanned the wa
tiers with handsome, arched brid-
ges of granite and iron, built
miles Of dock and quay, thus add
ing to, rather than detracting
from, the strength of nature, leav-
ing this great power of serene
grandeur and immutable beauty"

presence.
On the highest point of the cen
trail island (Staden), standing on
its granite pedestal, rise the vast
walls Of the Royal Palace in ma
