CATTON’S COMMENT
BY BRUCE CATTON
1f you have innocently wondered why the League
of Nations was quite uneble to do anything in the
jeast effective along the line of slowing up Japan’s
seizure of territory in Manchuria, you might profita
‘bly rexd the current cable dispatches about Italy’s
dispute with Abyssinia.
. Just what has been happening in those sun-smit
tYen outposts along the Ethiopian bordey is not at all
‘clear—won't be clear, probably, until the smoke
clears away and a good many Young men of both
races have died.
~ But it is evident that the excellent old game of
jmperialism is being played anew, and the wind-up
will probably se: a new sector of Africa experiencing
the joys of European rule.
. Two or three things are rather significant.
One is the fact that Abyssinia appealed to the
League of Nations to settle the dispute, ‘and that
Jtaly refused to permit it. Another is that France,
according to a recent cable, “has agreed tacitly to
give Italy a free hand in dealing with Abyssinia, even
To taking over most of the country.”
In other words, Italy is behaving toward Abyssinia
—with Europe’s general consent——in much the same
way that Japan behaved toward China; and this
i!eed net imply a criticism of either nation, because
that is the way strong nations almost invariably be
‘have toward weak ones,
. Our own nation got possession 'of California and
the othey southwestern states in much the same way,
gg‘e!denmny.
" Now the thing to bear in mind in this connection
s simply the fact that a gtream can rise no higher
‘;ha.n‘lts/ source. An international organization can-
Mot impose on any nation a rule of conduct which all
itsa member nations are not ready to accept for them-
selves.
' The league, to bhe brief, could not keep Japan from
taking what it wanted in the Orient because the
leading members of the league have done the same
gort of thing themselves and are prepared to do it
again if they see fit.
. The plain fact, then, 15 that no international league
ean keep the peace untij the nations which com
poses it are ready to turn over a new leaf, individu
w. in their own dealings with other nations.
. The Italian squabble with Abyssinia is clear proof
‘that we have not yet reached that point. It explains
why the league was Impotéent when Japan raided
‘Manchuria.
. Underneath all the much-discussed subdivision of
the recovery program, there seems to be a slow but
~ definite tide which is moving toward prosperity.
Thus the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce reports that
industrial production at the end of 1934 was 26 per
cent above the low point of 1932, and that 1,300,000
¥more wage earners were an the payrolls of manu
facturing plants than was the case two years ago.
" The normal seasonal recession to be expected in
January did not appear, cold was moving by rail at a
greater volume than in any January since 1931, and
the use of electric power was steadily climbing.
Whether our recovery is coming because of or in
spite of the administration’s efforts may still be a
moot point. The important fact is that it it does,
“definit.ly, Seem to be under way.
" If those scientists who see a direct connection be
tween sunspots and earthy climatic conditions are
correct, we may well be in for a period of very dis
turbed and unusual weather.
German astronomerg report a sudden and surpris
% development of new sunspots—the largest seen
‘Sinoe 1917. Omne goup of spots developed from noth
ing to an area ten timeg the size of the earth in 48
“hours, swirling and rotating in a manner to suggest
‘@ “storm” of almost unimaginable violence on the
?g?m’a flaming surface, .
~ What this may mean for eartidy weather is some
fihlns for the scientists to argue about—and for ex
perience to show . For the ordinary reader, mean
‘while, thee is something exceedingly fascinating
‘about the thought of these titanic disturbances—un
3’&xmginahly vast cyclones in flaming gas—taking
‘place far off in space, with a few astronomers at
telescopes as the only spectators,
~lf you happen to be the average American coffee
~ drinker you drank less coffee last year than in the
. year before—some 16 cups less, to be exact. That
i& on the word of the New York Coffee and Sugar
. Bxchange, which has just finished a survey showing
that the consumption of coffee in the United States
fell off during 1934—which, by the way, was the first
al} year of repeal.
- Now there are two possible explanations of this
. daet, neither of them, to our notion, worth a great
. You might say that a lot of people who used to
drink coffee are now drinking alcoholic beverages,
~and that that is why coffee consumption has drop
‘_:('.h"'",fi Or—remembering the desperate ways in which
‘& man gopes for lots of black coffee on the morning
| @fter a thorough bender—you could arzue that the
decline in coffee consumption last year reflects a
imilar décline in the drinking of hard liquor.
.As we say, we don't think muach of either explana-
?finfltfima one gets discouraged with the progress
f medicine. ¢
. One sees, despite modern knowledge and facilities,
‘the suffering of friends, the all-too-wide prevalence
Of disease. And one wonders just how great is this
o _‘ cal progress in practical results.
%&fflw and then comes an inconspicuous answer
which ought to be more generally known. For in-
Stance, the New York State Department of Health
Teports that not a single case of smallpox was r-
ported in that state in 1934. £
.In the “good old days” ‘of ou forefathers, eve.,
Second face was pitted by the ravages of this dis
‘ease, - NOw. sanitation, pr{:ventive medicine, vacci
‘mation, have all but congriered it.
(dn view ‘of the compatative newness of modern
medicine as a science, ptogress has really. been a
marvel. Sickness, disease| death, may never be con-
Quered, but credit for the remarkable progress that
€an be definitely shown ought to be given freely.
}: GEORGIA PRESS INSTITUTE
The eighth annual meeting of the Geor
gia Press Institute will convene in this city,
at the University of Georgia, this evening.
f Founded by Miss Emily Woodward, for
i mer president of the Georgia Press Asso
ciation, and sponsored by the association,|
and the Henry W. Grady School of Jour-f
nalism of the University of Georgia, the|
Institute has grown in importance each’
year. It i 3 an unique organization and pro-|
vides a program dealing with all depart-|
ments of the newspaper, editorial writing,l
news reporting, business management,
circulation, mechanical make-up and job!
printing. In addition to the round table|
discussions which include every phase of |
the newspaper business, noted representa-|
tives of the newspaper profession and edu-|
cators engaged in the teaching of journal-i
ism are brought here annually to address;
the members of the Institute. ,
The Banner-Herald extends to the mem-i
bers of the Press Institute its greetings and |
a most cordial and fraternal welcome dur- j
ing their stay in this city. x
SIXTY-DAY DIVORCE LAW
There has been introduced in the legis
lature a bill providing for the granting of
a legal divorce in sixly days. It is argued
that with a “hurry-up” divorce law on the
statute bhooks, Georgia would be enriched
thousands of dollars annually from the
coming of people from other states seeking
an early and easy separation by dissolving
the holy bonds of wedlock.
Under the present law in this state a
year’s residence is required, and two
terms of court with proper decrees hefore
an annulment can become absolute., This
law has been considered reasonable for all
these years, and we can see no good reason
for changing it. It is true that in Reno,
Nevada, divorces are ground out overnight
and couples made over for newly-wedding
without leaving the court room, but that is
a matter for the people of Reno to settle.’
Insofar as the people of Georgia are con
cerned, we do not believe that they favor
a sixty-day and one decree divorce law.
The bill, however, may be enacted into
law, but with it will come no end of sor
row and disruption for many wedded cou
ples, who otherwise would not undertake
legal separation under the present law.
To cheapen the bonds of matrimony is
to encourage and break down the home
and civilization of our people. Divorce
laws should not be tampered with or
weakened, but should be strengthened,
requiring time and procedure in an orderly
manner and not one of haste without due
consideration of the seriousness of the re
sults that are brought on by divorces.
TO REDUCE CONGRESSMEN’S PAY
Congressman Mitchell, of Tennessee, has
caused his colleagues to sit up and take
notice of a raid that he proposes to make
on their salaries and the' perquisites that
usually go along with the office of a con
gressman.
In a bill introduced by Congressman
Mitchell, it is alleged that congressmen
are guilty of petty graft, in various ways,
that has been considered legitimate for
congressmen to take and apply to personal
benefits, all of which may be true, but
gsome of the items enumerated by the Ten
nessean, appears to be perfectly legiti
mate. For instance, he desires to prohibit
congressmen from drawing mileage; and
contends that they should pay their way to
and from Washington when attending ses
sions of congress. That objection, we be
lieve to be unfair to congressmen, and
‘should not be classified as graft.
t As to the salaries paid congressmen, we
do not feel that they are over-paid, con
lsidering the many expenses they are nor
'mally required to bear in keeping with
the dignity of the office they hold. How
ever, we do agree with the objecting con
gressman that nepotism should be elimi
nated. The employment of relatives, some
of whose names are placed on the payroll,
but never leave their homs to perform
duty in Washington. Such acts as that are
lpuerly graft and inexcusable.
However, in our belief, the congressman
from Tennessee is wasting his time in his
efforts to have passed any such bill. The
congressmen will continue to accept the
| perquisites of the office so long as they
| are within the law or custom for such
| benefits to be awarded congressmen.
COUNTERFEITING AN INDUSIRY
l Counterfeiting has grown to be an im
portant industry in this country. Not only
bills of various denominations, but in sil
ver, quarter and half-dollar pieces. The
silver counterfeit money is easier to pass
on the public than are certificates, The
public does not scrutinize silver as closely
las bills of large denominations, conse
quently, the shrewd counterfeiter is devot
ing his time to coining silver. |
| Chief Morgan, of the U. S. Secret Serv
ice, is very much disturbed over the in
tcreased circulation of counterfeit silver
money. It is alleged that the grade of
silver used in coining these quarter and
half-dollars is just as good as that used
by the government, thereby making it hard
for the public to detect. Chief Morgan has
{appealed to congress for aid in the work
of running down the gang of counterfeit
|er operating in this country.
Before accepting bills or silver money,
merchants and dealers should inspect
every coin and bill offered in return for
| payment of merchandise. Our people can
' not be too careful in taking money in trade.
These 'spurious coins and bills are in circu
lation, and those accepting such specie of
money may find themselves with a supply
of “bad money” and no way in which to
dispose of it. ;
A spider’s first web is as perfect as any
that it makes thereafter, oA

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXVIII
The crowd shuffled out of the
movie theater, stopping to look at
postres announcing next week's
show; girls peering to catch a
glimpse of themselves in the nar
row mirror panels at either side
of the entrance, to powder noses
and dab on rouge, chattering and
laughing; young men who spoke
in deeper tones, pausing to light
cigarets and jam hats on firmly.
There were older people and some
children—a nondescript crowd, the
usual patrons of the Strand where
pictures were exhibites which, six
wor eight weeks earlier, had been
shown in the larger theaters in the
more brightly lighted section of
the town. v :
Steve Meyers ' looked down on
Gale as they stepped out on the
sidewalk. “Wasn't such a bad pic
ture, was it?” he asked,
“Oh, I liked®it. That girl who
was ‘Gathy’ is a new star, isn't
cha? I've never seen her before.
And didn't she look beautiful—"
The words broke off. A couple—
a small girl in a bright red hat
and rather dowdy fur coat and a
tall youth—had just halted before
the glass cage where tickets were
sold. Gale heard the girl laugh
and turning recognized Ruby Grif
fith before she saw it was Phil be
gide her. A moment later the two
disappeared inside the theater.
Steve asked, “What was that
vou were saying?”
“About the picture? Oh, I don't
know—it doesn’'t matter anyhow.
That was Phil with Ruby Griffith.
Did vou see them?”
“Yeh. "
They walked in silence for a few
moments. Then Steve said, “1
wish you wouldn't worry the way
you do about Phil.”
“How can I help it? You see the
sort of company he seems to pre
fer—Ruby Griffith and her crowd.
You know what they're like. And
he comes home at all hours of the
night. and morning. It's only with
in the last six months or so that
he's been like this.”
“Worrying isn’t going to do any
good.”
“No, I don’t suppose it will. But
what can I do Steve?”
“Leave him alone. Phil's smart
enough to take care of himself.
The trouble is you're used to leok
ing out for him. You still think
of ‘him as a litte boy.” -
“But he's only 19—"
“That’s. not so young. It weuld
be .a lot better for Phil if you'd
give him a chance to stand on his

‘for someone else.”

“Steve—" !
“Oh, I'm not going to say any{
more. I promised I woudln't and
I'll keep that promise. You said!
you couldn’'t marry anyone now.
But there’s one thing I want to ask
you. When you were away at
school—well, you must have
lknown lots of other fellows. Is
there anyone else Gale?”
' #¥ou mean—?” '
© “Is there anyone else you're in
love with ”
! Gale was glad she did not have
lto meet his eves. She knew ex
actly how those blue eyes ooked.
ISM lxxrned ;away, surprised that
her heart was beating so rapidly.
She wished it wouldn’t. Steve was
waiting for her to answer /and
thgre was only one answer to give.
You certainly couldn’t count a man
you'd_met only three or four times
and then purely by accident, even
though he had said, “I like you,’
You couldn't count a man you were
never going to see again—
Gale said, “There’'s no one ese
Steve. No one.”
He put a hand on her arm, drew
Iher close’ His voice had an edge
of huskiness. “Then I can go on
hoping,” he said. “Oh, Gale, if
you only knew how I feel about
you—-!" i
“You promised,” she reminded
him.
' “Yes, T know, I promised.”
.He began talking about some
thing that had happened at the
mill. Five minutes later they had
reach Gale’'s home.
“You’ll come in, won't you?” she
asked.
“Not tonight. Going to be home
tomorrow evening?”’
“I think so.”
“Then I'll drop around.”
‘ They said good night and Gale
| went inside the house. IHer father
lwas in the kitchen, fumbling about
lan open supboard.
“Hello,” he said.. “Thought Tl'd
like a little something hot to drink.
Is there some tea here some
where?"”
“In that square box,”’ Gale told
him. “But sit down—l'll make it
| for you.”
She filled the kettle and put it
over the fire to boil, gét out cups
| and saucers and a loaf of bread.
’ “Where's Steve?” her father
asked.
“He went on.”
' Her father watched as Gale cut
lthe bread and placed- it on a plate,
[sét out butter and a bottle of milk.
“You and Steve haven't been hav
}ing any arguments, have you?” he
asked. “
1 S
; Tom Henderson studied his
}danghter's face. She was certainly
thinner than she had been. He did
'not' say anything more until the
tea was made and Gale had poured
‘out two cups and sat down before
‘one of them. Then he said, "“T've
been thinking about you this eve
‘ning Gale. I wish vou didn’t have
to work the way you do.” |
‘Nensense!"” “
. « “Jt isn’t nonsence. it's too much
for you, doimz all you do at home
and working at the mill besides.”
~ “Father, what in the world put
such ideas in your head?” |
~ “My wn eyes have done it—see
ing 'vyou lock so tired when nighi

help worrying about: you, Gale.

‘Mmother was your age—" .
_.“But things are different now!”
“I knew. But that doesa’t make |
them ary better. I've lived my life
and some of these days I'm going
to be gone.”
“Father, please—!"
“It's better to face things calm
ly, Gale—better to talk about
them. I'm net afraid of dying. A
man couldn't be who lives as I do,
a burden to the ones he oves. No
I'm not afraid to die, but I wish
I could know you were going to be
happy and safe. I don’t - worry
about Phil; he's a boy and he can
take care of himself. You think
vou can, too, but there’s more to
life than you realize. I don’'t like
to leave you with no one to look
out for you.” *
Gale had rigsen from her chair
and slipped an arm around his
shoulders, “Don't father!” _ she
begged. “ I can’'t bear to hear you
say such things! You aren’t going
to leave us—not for a long, long
time.” -
He smiled. “Perhaps not. Still
I'd feel more comfortable to know
things were going to be all right
for you. I'd rather hoped that you
and Steve—" He raised, hs eyes,
leting them fnsh the queston.
“Steve's been an awfully good
friend,” Gale said. ‘l'm fond of
him. But I don't want to marry
anyone, father. Not now. Not for
years.”
“Well, if it isn’'t to be Steve I
hope it will be some one as worthy.
Steve's made ‘of *the right stuff.
He's a fine young man, Gale.”
“T know that. Steve's all you say
he is—and more.” She did not go
on, but stared silently at the floor.
Her father covered her hand
with his, pressed it. “Well, we
won’t talk about it any more to
night,” he said. “It’s late anyhow.
Time to be in bed.”
] Gale rinsec the cups and wiped
them, set the bread and . butter
laway. “He thinks I should@ marry
Steve,” she told herself. “He
éwants me to marry him.”
| She was sober-faced as she put
}out the kitchen light and went to
her bedroom, sober-faced as she
stood before her mirror, brushing
her hair. This mood continued
throughout the following morning.
It was Sunday and the Hendersons
ate dinner at -1 o'clock. By 20
minutes past two when Gale had
ifinished putting the last dish back
! into the cupboard, had wiped her
'hands and hung away her apron
there was a knock on the front
door.
Gale hurried to open it. A young
' man wearing a brown windbreaker
{ Jacket and corduroy trousers stood
| hefore her. His cap was pulled
down over his eyes.
“Special delivery,” he said, “for
! Miss Gale Henderson. Sign here,
‘ please.” He held a pencil and pad
i toward her.

with
Paul Harrison
NEW YORK — If,l were a night
culp master of ceremonies—which
could be only in the direct sort of
emergency on the parts of both the
night c¢lub ang myself — I should
like to select my establishment’s
“gala celebrity night” on Washing
ton’s birthday as an occasion for
truth-telling, :
“Ladee-e-ez and gennelmen,” 1
would begin tritely — giving . a
number of customers the benefit
of a doubt. “Welcome to the Hi-
Life Club! The management, which
comprises three racketeers and a
couple of gamblers, welcomes you;
Luke Lamar, a former newsboy
named Robinowitz, and his Scin
tillating Syncopators welcome you:
and I welcome you. If you will all
get into the spirit of this gala event
and spend a good deal more money
than you can afford, there is a
chance that tlje orchestra, enter
tainers and myself will get paig off
tonight. : !
“Well folks, we lured you in here
on this so-called celebrity night’ by
promising to show you celebrities.
We’ll show you some, too — even if
we have to invent them. The story
sent out by our unblushing press
agent was slightly—har-r-umph —
inaccurate, He announced that Al
Jolson, Noel Coward, Betrice Lillie,
Ethel Merman, George Gershwin
and a couple of dozen other prom
inent people were expected to at
tend. What we meant was that
they had been invited, and that we
hoped they would attend.
“However, 1 really didn’t expect
to see any of them here tonight,
because no honest-to-goodness cele
brity patronizes night clubs where
he knows he is going to be pestered
by long-winded masters of cere
mony and a flock of auotgraph
hunters.
Roasting a Toast
“There are, nevertheless, several
people here whom I am going' to
introduce before our regular show
begins, I hope that some of these
Broadway—er-—stars will entertain
you for a few minutes. And they’d
better, because their food and
drinks are on the house,
“First I want to call on a danec
ing star: whom all Broadway
knows. It knows him as a whin
ing dipsomaniac of considerable
talent, but so unreliable that no
producer will hire him for a show.
Ladee-e-ez and gentlemen—Mr, Al
Rubber-Hips Marks!” (A dance by
Rubber-Hips, followed by very
light applause.)
“That was pretty terrible, folks,
but wait until you hear the next
celebrity on our list! This is a
voung man whose doting father, a
very prominent politician, believes
he has a great deal of talent for
mimicry. The management of the
Hi-Life club, dear customers, hopes
that this guest-star appearance will
influence papa into buyving a quar
ter interest in this establishment.
Ahd so I give you young Henry
Jitterwhisk, the inimitable mita
tor.” (Henry imitates Jimmy Du
rante, Joe Penner ang Mae West.)

Off Broadway—Far Off
“Well, you can't say I didn’t
warn you, my beloved patrons. And
thank you very much for not hurl
ing chairs and bottles at the poor
boy. Next I want to put the spot
light on a glamorous lady whom
some of you elderly people may
lrecall as the toast of musical
'comedy a few seasons ago—l9o4, 1
fthink it was. This petite star in
tended to dance the can-can for
you tonight, but since she is some
