Ramblings and ruminations: A
blond applying lipstick as she
crosses Broadway at Fiftieth street.
. . . Old vaudevillians huddling in
front of the Palace. . . and talking
of the “days when” ... A fat tiger
cat strolling leisurely in front of the
Paramount. . . With pedestrians
making quick stops or detours to
avoid inflicting injury. . . A cop
leading a bewildered looking gray
head from the Times Square infor

uptown. . . That sea food place
with wall decorations of shells of
enormous lobsters. . . Whenever I’m
in Boston, I eat lobster fried in
butter. . . and keep my fingers
crossed for fear of indigestion. . . A
bootblack escaping a pursuer, evi
dently a business competitor, by
darting under a mounted police-

Broadway . . . with commuters
looking a bit confused in the crush.

trotting along Fifth avenue. . .
Gives me goose pimples. . . A door-
man bowing deferentially to shop
pers entering one of those subdued,
but expensive establishments . . .
Gan’t get used to the old Wendel
mansion having been displaced by
a dime store... and I still miss those
well-tailored and tubbed gray gen
tlemen who stared with expression
less faces at the passing avenue
throngs from Union League club
windows. . . A gray-haired woman
standing before a show window mir
ror admiring her mink coat. . . Un
conscious of the fact that there are
two tags on the back which pro
claim its newness. . . The cost in
code, a disappointment to this in
vestigator.

A vender of puppies at Sixth ave
nue and Thirty-eighth street. . .
Keeping a careful lookout not only
for customers but because the S. P.
C. A. may get him. . . The clatter

Turkish Children
Must Join Scouts
Ankara. Turkey. — Turkey is
going in for scouting wholeheart
edly.
The ministry for public educa
tion has ordered the compulsory
enrollment of all schoolchildren,
both boys and girls, in the Boy
and Girl Scout organizations.
The chief scout of Turkey will
shortly be appointed and the
whole government will be na
tional in character. The en
rolled children, of both sexes,
will range in age from 13 to 17.
bassador William E. Dodd
N protested
to Chancellor Hitler
against assaults on Americans
who failed to give the Nazi sa
lute. He made these represen
tations quietly but emphatical
ly. His protest was effective.
Being naturally calm and tactful,
it is quite certain that he will not
aggravate the present difficulty as
his government calls Germany to
account for press attacks on Amer
ica. But he is not spineless and
will not be merely a messenger boy.
He has disproved the assumption
that an ambassador to a major pow
er must be rieh. “Just a poor his
torian,” he lives simply and rides
third class around Germany. He
says this is a much better way of
understanding Germany and know
ing the people than attending state
banquets—which he abhors.
The Germans like him and even
forgive his belief in democracy,
which he bluntly expresses when
such expression seems pertinent.
His doctor’s degree was obtained
at the University of Leipzig, and
one of his best books was a biog
raphy of Thomas Jefferson, written
in German. They have forgiven
that, too.
Most of his thirty years as a his
torian was spent at the University
of Chicago. When he was appointed
ambassador in June, 1933, he
smilingly expressed doubt about be
ing a diplomat. “The trouble is
that a historian has to tell the
truth,” he said. Two former am
bassadors to Germany, Bancroft
and White, were historians, but in
less troubled times. He has spoken
frankly, and has been only occa
sionally vilified, as when Julius
Streicher, Germany’s notorious
anti-Semite, slurred his family on
August 16, 1935.
A native of North Carolina, he
keeps a little cottage down in the
Blue Ridge mountains, and drives
around in a worn little old car when
he comes home. He likes out of
doors and is usually sun-tanned. He
is medium, somewhat athletic in
stature, with a look of keen aware
ness and competence, which softens
as he speaks—he is essentially a
humanist.
The failure of the League of Na
tions he regards as one of the trag
edies of mankind. He has long
been a torch bearer for the Wil
sonian ideals, co-editor of “The
Works of Woodrow Wilson,” with
Ray Stannard Baker. He is a for
mer president of the American His
torical association, highly distin
guished and authoritative in his pro
fession. He is sixty-seven years old.

“Too Many Nice Boys.”
MR. TYLER DENNETT, presi-
dent of Williams, says his col
lege is getting too many “nice
boys.” It was in 1929 that Profes
sor Robert E. Rogers of M. I. T.
told his class that the thing to do
was to “be a snob and marry the
boss’ daughter.”
In 1934, he took it all back. A
graduate might be a snob cum
laude, but he was running an ele
vator just the same. Out in Min
nesota, a college dean recently
urged students to take postgraduate
courses in refined speech, dress and
decorum. It must be hard for the
youngsters to decide what to be or
do.
Dr. Dennett evidently doesn’t sug
gest “rowdy” as the alternative of
“nice.” What he seems to have in
mind is that Williams should draw
more from the main democratic
bloodstream, and not so much from
the blue-blood arteries. He thinks
the exclusive preparatory schools
are funneling too many students in
to Williams.

The Admiralty Speaks.
IR SAMUEL HOARE, British
first lord of admiralty, defends
his $500,000.000 naval plan and urges
the United States to build right
along with England—we are broth
ers. Already there is a yell over
here that England is, as usual, try
ing to get us to pull her chestnuts
out of the fire. But that’s some
thing for the editorial page.
Sir Samuel, with his high-pitched
nasal voice, his long, sharp peda
gogue’s nose, his glassy eye, and
his way of laying things on the line,
is always good copy for the report
ers.
Simultaneously, he broke the il
lustrious and inquisitive nose, fig
ure-skating, and was eased out as
foreign minister because he was
too realisti.
His
94 ——-
comeback was amazing in its swift
ness. In a few months, he headed
the admiralty, and articulate and
dominant tory England had swung
to his view on Ethiopia.
His goldsmith ancestors founded
Ye Oide Golden Bottel bank in the
reign of Charles I. It is still owned
by five Hoares, with one of them
sleeping on the premises every
night as their ancient charter re
quires. Sir Samuel, it is believed,
never sleeps, with an eye never
closed on the empire where the sun
never sets.

Sights like this were not uncommon in Chicago’s downtown “loop” section as “wrecking crews” of strik
ing cab drivers attacked vehicles still being operated by loyal employees and strikebreakers. One passenger
was reported shot and many ducked flying glass from cab windows shattered by missiles thrown by the strikers.

Make a rich pie paste of the
flour, salt, three-quarters cupful of
butter and the boiling water. Roll
out, cut in rounds, and line muffin
tins with it.
Make a filling of the quarter
cupful of butter, well creamed;
add the sugar and well-beaten eggs,
cream and vanilla. Fold in the

bake in a moderate oven until a
delicate brown, and they are set.
These may be topped with
whipped cream when they are

In the next war London may be defended from enemy bombers by
great cable nets supported by balloons like that shown here. It is a
revival of a plan of 1917 and provides a menace to low-flying planes,
forcing them to fly higher, where searchlights, range Anders and air
craft guns may be used against them more effectively.
