BY e. e. EDGAR

Pride: Although Poet Max

poverty. he did not permit
others to remind him Of 1t.
At one time he was invited
to the home Of q wealthy
authoress. He came In his
old. threadbare suit which
was on the verge Of falling
apart.
As the two were walking
In the garden one Of the host
ess' dogs leaped at him play
fully and tore the sleeve Of
his jacket. The rent was
scarcely discernible, but the
authoress. who had been
thinking Of a way to give
him money. grasped at this
opportunity.
Generously she offered
him $40 to repair the gar
ment. Bodenheim fixed her
with an icy stare, and for q
moment she reproached her
self for having offended him.
Then he said:
MY dear woman, this
damage is worth at least
500 and you should be
ashamed to offer me less"

REPORTER
Neuberger Found New World

Nothing humbles a man
like the imminence Of death.
Once he feels that he is fin
ished. he sees himself, In Sor-
row. as just one more grain
of sand on a big beach. Mat
tiers that used to be impor-
tant are now trivial. The
patient learns the truth of
the ancient aphoriSm: "All,
all is vanity" 81
Sometimes the man re-
covers. The measure of his
intelligence is in the amount
Of humility he retains when
he gets well. A few keep it
and enjoy life more than
ever before. Many return to
the old ways Of dog eat-dog.
Arthur Godfrey. for example,
has time to mediate now as
never before. Last year. it
was Senator Richard Neu-
berger's turn. Next year
who knows?-maybe mine.
Or yours.
THE SENATOR from Ore
gon writes well about the in
ner workings of the human
heart in distress. He has an
article in the current
Harper's, in which he relates
how he discovered that he
had cancer, Of his thoughts
and of his certainty that he
would not get well. He had
malignant growths on tongue,
a testicle and the periphery
of both lungs.
He was 46. The first thing
he learned was that the i'm
minence of death does not
make the weak strong, nor
the strong weak. "A change
came over me-" the Senator
said. (which I believe is ir-
reversible. Questions of pres
tige, of political success. A.
nancial status, all became un-
important. In those first
hours when I realized I had
cancer, I never thought of my
seat in the Senate. Of my
bank account, of the destiny
of the free world"
What was on his mind?
His cat. He wondered who
would take care of Muffet.
What would happen to Mrs.
Neuberger?
The Senator has not had
an argument with his wife
since the onset of illness.
II used to scold her about
squeezing the toothpaste from
the top of the tube instead
of the bottom" about not
cooking the foods he liked
best, about inviting people
to the house without con-
sulting the Senator. about
spending too much money on
clothes. Suddenly, all of
these things were ridiculous.
Now the Senator gets a
thrill out of having lunch
with an old friend, sitting
with his wife talking about
nothing Of Importance,
scratching Muffet's ears,

In Washington, meanwhile

District Commissioners that
the farmers cooperative is in
favor of revising the 1925 milk
sanitation regulations in force
here. But the basic provisions
prohibiting milk produced or
farms not inspected by District
Health officials should be kept
