THIS WEEK m I^9 \ c* I ^1 mm I #9 By Arthur Btitbw . Mr. Brisbane'* edkoriaU are publkthed as expressions of opinions of the world's highest-sampled editor and The Chronicle doe* not necessarily endorse all of his views and conclusions. f .'J. , in! ?mmmmmmmm Ancient rulers liked uncouth dwarfs and strangely deformed creatures about them. In that respect the human race is not entirely changed. In Los Angeles an undertaker builds an unusual coffin for Theodure Valenzucla, known to the circus as "One Ton Tom." He weighed 945 pounds. People paid to see him. If he had weighed only forty-five pounds they wpuld have paid to see him, and if he had had two heads, fat or thin, they would have paid more. With One Ion Tom" and everybody else too fat, the trouble is overeating or defective metabolism. Part of our energy creates new tissue. W hen old tissue sttfys, you get fat. Beware of fat after fifty. It .shoi/U'i.s 1 i f t . . i ??T - The good Bishop William Montgomery Brown, put out of the Episcopal Church for doing his own thinking, alried to compel the church by legal procedure to take him back. His lawyers sued "the Protestant Episcopal ChuYch of the Onited States of America." But the court says there is no such organization, no such thing for Bishop Brown to sue; so his suit falls to the ground. 1 he aged bishop is puzzled to knowhow an organization could be real enough to throw him out and not real enough to stand a lawsuit. There are more mysterious things! than that in religion. - We are all influenced by" others.. Students have protested against "yn falrness and cruelty" that forced human beings to be present at relig, ious services every day? So cuniversity officials made chapel attendance no longer compulsory. Now the prisoners in jail at New Haven, Conn., say they' also consider-it "unfair and cruel" to make them go to chapel every clay. They, want the same rights as Yale stud-" ents. But they are willing to go to church once a week, wHereas the Yale men demanded the right to stay away altogether. This shows how careful we should be to set a good example. The French Minister of Industry discovers that fashion can affect a nation's prosperity. France makes silks, velvets, feathers, rules fashion. Women have been using little material in their dresses, and French industries have suffered. That is to change. Soon American women will find themselves wearing longer skirts, fashions calling for many yards of goods. Secretary Hoover, in an able speech, worries about our national morals. "The moral and spiritual may be submerged by our great material success." He did not say whether submergence would cpme from the bootleggers, hijackers and night dubs or from high finance. In all ages good men have worried about the general condition of morals. One fine Roman emperor had to discipline his own daughter.. But somehow the human race manages to stagger along, gradually improving. Every new generation, every new born baby, is a clean page on which a new story of progress can be J .written. The Treasury Department, Bureau of Efficiency, Crane and Company, currency paper manufacturers, and the Bureau of Standards combined, after long research, announce that the life of a one dollar hill is only six months. The average citizen can testify that in some cases the life of a one dollar bill is less than six minutes. James Brand, four fears old, was! disobedient. His father admits that! he hod threatened to cut the boy's head off, hoping the threat might] frighten him into obedience. It had' not that effect.
