This Week b Arthur Brisbane What Is Worth While? Germany in the Fashion ThoCoet of Crime A Long, Long Fast Intellectual young ladies In New York are asking, "What Is really worth while In this life?" and answering In various ways. To that question, when woman is concerned, there is only one answer. The thing worth while in life is to get married, raise a family of chil dren that will repay all your affec tion when you are old and feel that you have done your share In contrib uting to the intelligent population of the globe. Everything else, for Intelligent young women, is mere waste of time unless one happens to* be a genius like a Bronte sister or a Sarah Bernhardt. An even then she ought to raise a family. Herrlot, able French prime minister, Is suspicious of Germany. What Is more, the French government says, "Germany Is using United States money in her secret arming program." If so, Germany is using United States money about the same as everybody else in Europe is using It. Either with money recently bor rowed, or money borrowed In the war, and not repaid, the most conspicuous countries in Europe keep up their war program. The fact that they don't pay us en ables them to use their money for arms. Germany couldn't borrow from us in war times and has done her bor rowing privately since the war. A federal Judge has said that crime in United States costs annually between eleven thousand and thirteen thousand million dollars. Every year crime costs the country more than the total sum we lent Europe In the war. An expert says racketeering costs Chi cago alone one hundred and forty-five millions a year. "Legitimate" busi ness of many kinds. Important branches of union labor, and many other lines of effort are victims and sometimes originators of racketeering. This country needs to clean house in more ways than one. Poor Qandhl, starting his "death fast," says he is "anxious as anybody to live" and last as long as possible. He asks no sympathy. "After the first few days desire for food will vanish and I shall begin to brood." He will take no nourishment except water un til he dies, or "until the Hindu con science awakens." Hindu national conscience or con sciousness has been asleep for more than a thousand years. It will not awaken easily. A twelve-year-old boy hanged him self In New Jersey "because he had been told he must attend the public school Instead of continuing at the 'select academy.' " Someone should have explained to the hoy that the public school, better than any other, would give him a better chance of becoming a first-class American. In the public school a boy meets all kinds of Americans, learns to under stand them, and to realize that he Is not better than some other hoy be cause his father happens to have a little money. The public school Is the real school. A phllosophlcol British lody, Mrs. Powlo.v, Is kidnaped by Chinese bnn dits. She writes "please send me a powder puff, foce cream and o lip stick. I don't want anything else but a bath." And asks that police he kept away, because if they follow the ban dits she may be killed. She would like to be ransomed If possible, hut says, "please don't bust yourselves." There Is a marvelous placidity in certain British women, ond gre^it courage. California sends cheerful news. Dr. R. O. Moore, very able surgeon of the Pacific coast, reports that In his ro ing to and fro, which Includes use of flying mnehlnes for hurried opera tions, he finds much more optimism, and, says he: "Optimism must como first." Those well Informed say China's only Immediate hope Is In a more or less benevolent domination by Ja pan. China's war lords, fighting each other, starving the people, offer no hope. Japan would discourage bandits by killing them and diminish starvation by abolishing roving bands that de vour or destroy crops. There are In the world about 80, 000,000 radio sets, more than half In this country.

JOLLY, round, red Mr. Sun wns Just going to bed behind the Pur ple Mills as Peter ltabbit stole Into the Old Orchard. It was Just thnt beautiful hour between daytime and nighttime when the littie people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest who have been busy all day are beginning to get drowsy and are thinking of going to bed, while those who have been sleeping all day are getting sleepy-winks out of their eyes and are thinking about filling empty stomachs. The Old Orchard always Is very pleasant at this hour. Peter likes to steal up there and sit CHILDREN'S STORY ?fly THORNTON W. BURGESS Peter Turned to Look at Johnny and Wat Puzzled at the Look of Dis gust on Johnny's Face. for a while near Johnny Chuck's door step to chnt with Johnny Chuck while they watch the first of the Black Shad ows steal among the trees and listen to the good-night twitters of the feath ered folk and the beautiful evening song of Brownie the Thrush. "Chltter-chltter-chltter-chlt I Chltter chltter-chitter-chlt ! Chit, chit, ch!t, chit!" Peter put his head hack to look up. Over the tops of the trees raced ,n black form, this way, that way, turning, wheeling and then with rapid wing beats racing straight ahead, all the time shouting Joyous ly. It was a bird, of course. Flitter the Bat Is the only animal who can fly, and he cannot fly anything like the darting little black form Peter was watching. It was Sooty the Swift. "Sooty Rets more fun out of flying than anybody I know of," declared Peter. "Just listen to him I He shouts Just for pure Joy of using those queer little wings. I know how ho feels. lie feels Just as I do when I race around and kick up my heels Just for pure Joy In being alive. Sometimes I wish I could shout then, but you know I can't, because I haven't any voice for shouting. Just listen to Sooty ! lie Isn't much to look at, but ho seems to have more fun than any bird I know of unless It Is Skimmer the Swallow, and then after all, Sooty Is a swallow him self." "Huh !" It was Johnny Chuck. "Huh I" exclaimed Johnny again. Peter turned to look nt Johnny and was puzzled at the look of disgust on Johnny's face. "Huh I" exclaimed Johnny Chuck once more. "For a fel low who goes about as much as you do and pokes his nose Into other peo ple's affairs as much as you do, Peter Babbit, you know mighty little about your neighbors. Whoever tokl you that Sooty Is a swallow?" "Why ? why ? why, I don't know that any one did," replied Peter slowly, looking more puzzled than ever. "I didn't have to bo told. Any one can see that he is a swallow Just to look at him." "Huh 1" Johnny Chuck seemed very fond of that exclamation. "I sup pose any one can make themselves see what they want to see If they don't use their brains ehough to And out other things. Sooty Isn't a swal low, and never will bo a swallow. He belongs to another family altogether. He's a swift. That's what he Is a swift" Peter didn't know Just what to any. Johnny Chuck spoke as If he knew exactly what he was talking about, and Peter had to admit to himself that he really didn't know a thing about Sooty. "Chltter-chltter-chltter chlt-chlt !" Once more Sooty raced high overhead shouting Joyously. "He looks like a swallow anyway," declared Peter, "but If you say he Isn't one I suppose he Isn't, If he Is a swift he Is well named, for he cer tainly Is swift enough in the air. I guess I don't know much about him." "I guess you don't," declared Johnny Chuck, if you call him a swal low. The trouble with a lot of peo ple is that they don't know anything about their neighbors and just guess at things. You've known Sooty by sight a long time, haven't you?" "Ever since I can remember," re plied Peter. "Summer wouldn't be summer without Sooty cutting up and racing around up In the air. But I've never seen him close to, or sitting still, and I've never thought much about him. He never before seemed to me very interesting." "Huh !" exclaimed Johnny Chuck. Everybody is interesting if you take the trouble to get acquainted." (?, 1932, by T. W. Burgess. ) ? WNU So r vie 8. To Find Truth There are two ways of reaching truth? by reasoning it out and by feel ing it out. All the profoundest truths are felt out. The deep glances into truth are gdt by love. Love a man, that is the best way of understand ing him. Feel a truth, that is the only way of comprehending it. ? F. W. Rob ertson.
