Only a few weeks ago a Chicago police official declared that jazz music caused crime, and lie pleaded for the aboli tion of jazz. Now conies the Chicago commissioner of health With a printed pamphlet asserting that business life in the famous Loop is nerve-wrecking in itself, and that any in tense outgo of energy in amusement is burning the famous candle of life at its proverbial two ends. "Yet this is what' is really being done by thousands of the young people of Chicago who, after a full day's work and a hastily consumed meal, -crowd the dance halls until the wee hours or attond parties until the time when the milkman ijs on his route,", says the Chicago health bulletin; ' ; . "They 'pep' it, up by1 gin to the tunes of jazzmania," without rest,, without stop, with no thought of tomorrow. Such a life may look attractive while it lasts, but the well known gentleman with the fiddle comes along next day to demand his pay; for pay they must, sooner 'or' later, and How! ' -' ' - "Fast living means spending more funds from the bank of good health than the balance justifies.' Sucli checks drawn on that bankl usually come back with, remarks like 'no bal ance,' 'funds overdrawn.' When the resources are exhaust ed to the last penn.v, bankruptcy follows and receivership ensues.; .Receivership is often conducted, in a, hospital and the receivership of ill heal),h is much worse thai) that of a financial kind. A young man can laugh heartily at ill for tune jf his health is good. 1 For, good health-is his most de pendable bank account and with it. he can pay for his lost job or, squandered Jortuno.'' ' Small towns that'"benioaii their deadness may, after all, have the correct slant on life, if the diagnosis of Chicago' fastness has any truth' in it." SEEING AMERICA FROM PAKIS. Oiie-hundi-ed-per-cent Americans, whoso, travel slogan is "See Amorica First!" will find much, to, carp about in a 'recent interview given by Louis Ilroni field, winner of the 1927 Pulitzer prize award for the best American novel. Bromfield Vaved this read meat under the noses of the hundred-percenters when interviewed in his home in Paris, where he has been living for some two years. "Living here," he said, "1 can write of American life bet ter than if I were in the middle of New York.. I came to know the French after driving an ambulance for two years. They had an immense effect osi me they changed my .'point of view lo theirs I mean the. point :of view of seeing things as they arethe whole thing gave me a efoai- perspective of American life which I could never have found had I not left America." V ' More red meat for the huhdred-per-cenlors cotnes from the interviewer who contrasts the beauty and luxury of Uromrield's Pnricia'.i home with what he, would, get for the same money in America, with the credit to Paris rather than the States. . ' . " Patriotism to the hundred-per-ceulcrs means being so dazzled by one's own naliohal splendors that one is blind to the charms of other nations. Patriotism to many people can be a mellow tolerance and clear vision for the joys and beauties of all nations, retain ing a special affection for one's own country even if it is different. WHEN CON DEM It may interest those who believe in censorship; and it may especially interest those who believed in special censor ship of the particular book, "Elmer Gantry," by Sinclair Lewis, to know that this bonk continues to be the best selling book of the month in many cities and towns in America, a record which it has held since the uproar against it began. v U may interest those who referred to the book as "a huge ocean of mud; full of barnyard piffle and garage gos sip," to know that all their inveighings have acted as hun dred thousand-dollar free publicity lo the book they wished to kill. "Elmer Gantry" would never have been regarded as so much of a book would never have been a best seller, if those who hated its message most hadn't attempted to foist their own hatred upon the world at large. o I A tiny item asks again the old tiuestion, which is migh- tier, heredity or environment '.'

BIG CROWD PRESENT Thousands of People Await All Night for Arrival of Army Ship From the States. The News-Review i& in recelnt of a very interesting letter from Ueutenant Slalor Miller, boh ot M. M.

Due to the interest in the Sun Franclsco-Holiolulu lllght engend- ered by "Jim" Dole, local plno - apiio king, when he oil'orod his now tamed Dole prize, the signal that the army piano was oaf found Honolulu In great excitement. Bulletins wirelessed from ships n( sea gave a lair idea ot the Kok- ker's mogress across tlie Pacific. 'Hie coast anlilery was called on to I'urnish some ot its anti-aireratt searchlights as beacons. Our otfico Handled tho urrangcmeiils. Wo sen,. lights to each tip ot this Island (Oahu) and three lights to Wheel - er I'leiu wnere. we expected the plane 10 land. These great beacons went Into action at midnight and continued through the nignt. Tho slowing circular moving beams were visible from almost every poiu in Oabu , . . The authorities at Schofield barracks announced that llioro was parking space for ten thou- sand antes and arningertients wero made tor traffic control. Our party spent tho evening across the island from Honolulu. Thure we arose about Tour, made a little breakfast thon woro soon 011 tho road for Wheoior Field. We llgured on tlie plane arriving be tween five and six o'clock. We drove to tho high altitudes of Si holield llurnicks, w hero Wheel er Field Is lucated, just us dawn eaiuo lorlh. Over here twilight ami dawn are but shortlived and it was daylight when we debouched onto the field. M. p.'s directed us to our parking place where we he- came a dot in a sea of cars. Hun dreds had beeu lliere all night. hloepy looking individuals were running their eyes and looking iiuliu uncomfortable A few minutes after our arrival a squadron of pianos took off to soar out and welcome the coming flyers. The day broke clear wlih only an occasional cluud to catch tho brilliance of the morning sun. Kvery now and then the' crowd would becoinu wildly agitated as sumoono started a false rumor of inelr coming. Kveryune expected ' .Hiiiuanu 10 como over the pats from Honolulu and it was nere that the welcoming planes wheeled high in the air. All of a sudden camo a great w-hir ot motors and right over our heads appeared the great mono plane. It had slipped up from ilalelwa from the north and was upon us before we know it. Kvory 11110 was loo surprised tu cry 0111. Tliore was only a silent surge for I he field. Soldiers with bnyoiietted rifles were nocoosnry to keep the crowd back from tho landing field. Others chased tho unwary from in front of tho saluting canon which soon belched forth one roaring salute after another. From tho toil of a trurk we were able to see .Maitlaiul make a circle over the field once then settle down in a heautifulv nertect laiHliny. Ihe great Fokker settled down like a sea gull, without u quiver. It had not come to rest before fifteen M. IVs on sleek horses beenn to encircle tho piano to keep off the I inevitable souvenir hunters. Hound ! and round they pranced, stopping only once when the two young flyers stepped out as li-im ttml ' spruce as if they were on parade. The commanding general, gover nor, admiral in command of Pearl Harbor, and many personages were present to welcome the suet essful airmen. After the newspaper men and cameramen had had a few imnir.es the flyers mounted grand stand and waved cro.vd.

They had a sv.iui In Waikiki later in Ihe day and quiet dinner with friends that night, lhith officers had been sta tioned in the islands. The next night there was a big official dinner for the flyers nnd reception afterwards. It was dur ing tho reception that the pvihilc had ah opportunity to meet their hrrnes. The line took two hours to pass throiiii. The flyers, the 1 coim nan din? general 'and the de partment air officer were ia the I reet'hlay line- A good part of the i time (hey had to stand in the glare of bright If'drta as camera men shot piuvleB of the crowds pacing by. -An interesting feature was- the great number of Hawaiian people in their ancient and honored feath ered cloaks.

The bunch all said, "Sure, we'll go 'long." Ilut then they fouud some thing was wrong. Tho rabbit lliey'd been riding on had quickly disappeared. They - looked and looked, to no nvall. Then Seouty shouted, "Whore's a pull? I surely wish we had one. We could guthor lots .of croam." Dut, though the hunch looked ull around for quite a while, no pail was found. And then what happened, certainly was quite a funny scene. They picked up Ice crecnr In their hand, and each ono L..vtitcd, "Tliis is grand." They ate and -le until they'd had enough to satis fy. Then Clowny shouted, "My, the breeze around these hills will make mo freeze. We'd- better leave this Ice cream laud, and come back bye and byo." "Where will wo go?" somebody said, and Seouty answered, "Just ahead I think we'll find a winding road. Let's find out where it goes. Those ice cream hills were sure a treat, hut we have hud ail we can eat. I'll take the lead. Just follow me. and I'll follow my nose."
