THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES <. TRACEWELL

what he has met and faced in
his own daily life, and he can
not do this without hurting
many. some Of them very dear.
There can be no doubt that
many fine novels have not
been written simply because
their possible authors drew
back Just in time. They did
not want to face the ostracism
Thomas Wolfe faced, the hurt
Of mind and soul he imposed.
both on himself and others, by
his utter honesty.
y
If any one works out for
himself a calm and easy"
style. as it may be called, he
has done so because 1t fits
him.
He will constantly bring to it
echoes of the great past and
the great writers, knowing that
those readers who are really
his will instantly recognizeshis
debt and rejoice with him.
This makes good writing q
reward and an acknowledge
ment. a continuing salute to
the past, a forward look into
the future.
In so far as a man is able
to do these things, he has a
style Of his own and 1t may or
may not reveal the physical
man at all. It is not wholly
necessary that it should; it
may be essentially a cropping
for the supreme, far beyond
and ahead Of the actual man.
1t is for this reason that
readers are sometimes disap-
pointed when they see a ia
vorite writer. His physical
being betrays their admiration.
They should realize that
this is one Of the glories Of
writing. to create in words a
better world, including a better
writer.

SoIutes MoyfIower II

It is unfortunate that the
sailing of the Mayflower II
conceded with the jamestown
celebrations in the South. All
the lavish ballyhoo that sur
rounds the festivities in Vir-
GINA may overshadow the
simplicity and simulated naked
martyrdom characteristic of
the advent of the adorable
Pilgrim ship.
The descendants of the first
permanent English settlers on
these shores are wholly justi-
fed in wanting to celebrate
their 350th anniversary, but
it seems somewhat unjust to
have the country's attention
diverted from the sailing of
the Mayflower II.
The first Virginia settlers
sought only to extend their
economic welfare and had no
disagreement with the British
jurisdiction over them-nor
did they wish to break away
from the fatherland until
many decades later at the
instigation of Northerners.
Moreover, the House of Bur-
gesses was made up only of
representatives of the King.
Therefore, we cannot logically
agree that America as we know
it today was started by those
cavaliers.
The Mayflower Pilgrims, on
the other hand. were sep
aratist" martyrs seeking to
develop a new idea in the
world; complete religious
freedom which in time has
developed into VIII olesale
democratic social. economic
and political freedom which
characterizes our present
America. at least for the ma
iority of our citizens. Con-
sequently. the main idea and
spirit of democracy was estab-
lished precisely as the pathetic
fugitive Pilgrim saints stepped
ashore on the rock with the
compact in their sea chests.
1t is fitting, therefore. that
the reception accorded the
Mayflower II be modest and
dignifled.

Experiments with the new
brain drug reserpine may
have opened a new road in
cancer research.
This has just been reported
to the American Association
for the Advancement Of Sci
ence here by DR.. Abraham
Goldin and the associates Sof
the National Cancer Institute
of the Public Health Service.
The drug was given in ex-
ceptionally large doses to
mice in which experimental
leukemia, the fatal blood can
Ger. had been produced. The
results-always bearing in
mind that they may be con-
fined to these animals-were
quite startling. Says the re-
port:
"A single treatment with
reserpine produced an almost
three-fold increase in the re-
naming lifetime Of mice with
advanced leukemia. This
means survival time was an
increasing function of the
dose. Inhibition of the
growth Of local tumor was OBJ
served consistently in the
reserpine treated animals.
Two days after treatment
there was no change in the
size, even though the tumors
of untreated mice continued
to increase. Five days after,
when all the control animals
were dead, the change in
mean tumor diameter was in
inverse proportion to the dose
Of reserpine employed.
Treatment frequently ap-
peared to result in complete
disappearance of the tumor at
the site Of innoculation. How
ever, transportation Of spleen
from several such mice re-
suited in leukemic growth, in
dicating that infiltration had
not been wholly suppressed.
Derivatives Work, Too
Preliminary experiments in
dictate that daily treatment
with small doses Of reserpine
may be superior to q single
large dose. Other expert
ments have shown that sew
eral derivatives of reserpine
have the same antileukemic
activity.
THE mechanism by which
reserpine exerts its action is
not known. At higher dose
levels the treated animals
were severely depressed by the
drug and failed to eat or drink
for a period Of a week or more

H STREET.

Dear Sir!
1T has occurred to me that
the inclosed editorial might
appeal to you for reprinting in
whole or in part in your
Rambler
1T is written in somewhat
your style. which I. In common
with so many of your readers,
admire.
If you use it. and can give
credit to our publication, 1t
will be appreciated.
Cordially. P. M"
The style is the man. Eli,
Rambler?
1t is interesting to note
that even in this day of hurly-
burly the way a man writes
still counts.
What Is it that makes a
style?
Is it something you can
achieve by taking thought?
The first method. usually
used by young writers. is to
consciously or unconsciously
initiate the style of some sue
cessful and famous writer.
Perhaps all writers. in the
last analysis. boil down to
somebody who has gone before,
at least in a few essentials.
1t may be no more than of
a love for a great poet, such
as Pope or Poe. which. gave
ones expression a poetical
cast. as we say.
Usually it is discovered that
an out-and-out imitation is
more trouble and work than IL
is worth.
Gradually the attempt is
given over. Only the best of
the old is kept. and this only
because 1t belongs to every
body.
To build up a style, then,
takes a degree Of living. first
Of all, in addition to a fervent
admiration.
The living goes right along,
the admiration fingers but
evaporates, at least in so far
as ones own actual writing
is concerned. Is this plain?
This is the lesson every
young writer has to learn. II
he does. he goes ahead to his
own style; II he doesn't, he
becomes one Of those persons
who is always telling you how
he meant to be a writer but
somehow got sidetracked.
Writing is giving way to the
rush Of thoughts In you.
Since everybody writes In
this day and age, to some ex-
tent, those who make q good
living at 1t must and do give
way more, that is all.
Unusual honesty is the key
note Of writing.
y u
This honesty must be dis
tinguished from frankness.
Many persons congratulate
themselves on being frank
when 1t is just another way Of
saying they are mean.
There can be little doubt
however, that true honesty Of
thought must at times border
on the mean. or what seemi
mean to others.
Thus no man or woman evel
writes . novel. for instance
without incorporating some Of

their ethical and substantial

is Immediately followed by the
comments of one DR.. Foote,

title of Executive Director Of

seems to me to be an obvious
attempt to load the column

air of presenting all the facts.
There are eminently capable
optometrists in the field Of

AS we neared home, grateful

another young man, driving
around a blind curve on the
