It will cause a lot of mental anguish and phynlcal pain. . : O, VKAHI STUFF r (Harper's Mngaslne) It Is true that there Is scrip tural warrant for the view that the meek shall Inherit the earth, and a tendency la that direction Is one result of our modern civilisation. But It Is only one result; the other tendencies are for the stupid to inherit the earth, and the shiftless, and the Imprudent, and the dull. And this is a prospect neither scrip tural nor attractive. It has now been definitely decided that trie New York gangsters, who Blew children, In the business of putting a foe "on the spot," were not Inflamed by a cigarette, or a glass of beer, but. Instead, hsd a skinful of "morphine against which the re formers do not Inveigh, so one would notice It.

Never waa this classic toast more pertinent than It Is today. Mothers not only have to economise on the groceries, do the laundry themselves, keep Mary frors wasting quarters on matinees, prevent Willie from using too much gas, and make over last year's dresses; but they also have to listen to their husbands Jawing about business, cussing about taxes, and wondering how the deuce t.'ity are going to psy their bills.

'T'lIE protoHts of vnrioiis colored ortranizatioim affuinst "Amos an' Andy" at this late dute are ratlier surprising. We fail to see wherein thin radio feature reflects upon the colored race uny more than "Mutt. and Jeff" refleet upon the white race j or "BrintoiiK Up Father" reflects upon citizens of Irish extraction, ; , - , They are all caricatures, and therefore frank exaggerations, which should not he taken seriously, hut like the Virginians' epithet, should always he taken with a smile.

' : " ' XLKSS we, tire greatly mistaken,;. tie "Amos, an' Andy' craze reached its height a year or, more ago and fcver. since has been on the' wani. If Medford is a fair example, the " Amos an' Andy" radio audience today is not more than .fifty percent as large as it was eight or, ten months ago. , All of these comedy stunfs have short lives. They go up in a burst of glory like sky rockets, ,and like sky rockets they come down, just a 'burned-out stick SUNK without a trace. There were the Cherry. Sisters, Sir. Gallagher and Mr. Sheen, the Two Black Crows, and several others which spread like wildfire, burst into the lime light and then suddenly sizzled out into complete oblivion. ' '.. We have an idea that Amos, who always had a level head on his shoulders, sensed the final denouement, and through some clever manipulation, got these colored organizations to broadcast their resolutions, in an effort .to delay i.t. ' ( '? v . " ," FOR nothing revives public, interest, more quickly, than tlc prospect of n fight. Many n dying .cause has been resusi tated, by front page opposition.

We don't know precisely when "Amos an' Andy" started, but ccrtninly several years ago. "The "shiftlcsKness" complained of is no more marked today than it was then. And in our opinion, Amos, with his devotion to Ruby "Taylor, and his shrewd native sense, more than compensated for the alleged irregularities, sentimental and economic, of the dusky "Show Off" Andy. . . , , . .. So in this sudden opposition wc detect a "nigger in the woodpile," none other than little Amos,' pulling wires, and arousing the brethren, whilo his thick headed partner dreams of Madam Queen, and is properly "regusted.' .

William prartt In rare of Toe Mall Tribune. HOME OF US ARE VAOS AN U SOME OF I K ARE SYMI'K. THE SITUATION IN GERMANY TIIK failure of the Prussian' plebiscite, is at least one ray of sunshino in the Central Kuropean gloom. '?.. It means for tho time being, that tho present government will not be ovwrthrown and tho Hitlerite plea for a repudiation of tho war debts and tho regaining of the lost provinces, WILL NOT bo heeded. : : , . ; , This in turn nVeaiistliat tberftja still a cbanee for . a real reajqu'oHchiiient between Germany, and fnine : ivhieh is only another way of saying that Germany" still may bo saved. AND IN NO OTIIKR WAY CAN 'GERMANY. UK SAVED. For, contrary to general opinion, tho fundamental trouble in Central Europe is not economic 'but political. . FRANCE is today in absolute control. She is the richest mitimi in Kurnntv ulw iu tlir '.mrtKt. iinwnrpiil lr 'Slin nnubl destroy Germany if she wished, but also contrary to general opinion she DOESN'T WISH TO. What sho does wish and what sbo DEMANDS is this ; That Germany keep her place, the place dictated by the treaty of Versailles; that sho abandon all claim to the I'olish provinces, all efforts to materially jrovise the treaty, all pres ent negotiations for a union with Austria in other words that she bo a good dog, keep her place as a conquered country. Then and then only will France give her aid. Franco docs not want a ruined Germany, nor a communistic Germany; but she does want, and she intends to have a NON-RESISTANT a non-dangerous Germany. ' And if she eiul only secure such a Germany, by ruin, then ruin it will be. ' ' ! If she ean secure it without ruin, then Germany will be saved. Hut ontj way or appther, she is going to spenie a mm resistant Germany, or go down to ruin herself. i SO THE only hope for peace and eventual prosperity in Cen tral Europe at least as we1 see it depends absolutely upon France anil Germany getting together politically,' agreeing on SOME I'IjAN which they can work out in comparative peace and harmony. ' . The communists, Hitlerites and old militarists, are against any such program, the present government is for it not as strongly as Streseman was but still in favor of conciliation and peace rather than defiance and war. SO WK repeat, the failure of the Prussian plebiscite, while it may not prevent the collapse of Germany, will at least postpone it. Iiike the Hoover moratorium, it is a favorable factor in the situation, though in no sense a determining one. Parents MAKINU rilll.DRKN HAPPY v lly Alice J ii ilno n Praia Merer have parents tried more earnestly than now to Rive tftelr children the best of everthlng. Never before have they Invested so much thought, so much lore and so much money In their children's happiness. We hare good will In abundance but not always, alas I the wisdom to make it bear proper fruit. The moat common mistake la the belief t'int enough pleasure Is bound to produce happiness. Children of ten are showered with toys. adran tages" of every sort, with all kinds of Indulgences only to become dis contented, bored, unhsppy. Often, too. the concern which their elders so erldently feel for their hep plnrss makes children consider pleas use t.'te single worthwhile objective, something whlcti they hat a light to expert to hare provided tor them. The state of mind which makes tor happiness is not one primarily occu pied with the pursuit of pleasure. It Is rather a condition In which the Individual Is so 'engrossed In activi ties which he pursues with sntlsfac factlon and enthusiasm that his whole thought aud energy are bent upon things outside himself. ' He Is so occupied that he does not think about pleasure and he Is happy. He- la happy because happi ness Is alvraya a by-product of suc cessful, Interesting living. Making r.Mldren hsppy Is some thing more than giving them pleas ure. It' is a matter of helping them to get satisfaction out of doing the right sort of hlnga. It depends, too. upon the training which enables the child to control his temper, accept responsibility, snd meet detest with equanimity to share, to do things tor himself and by Mmselt. The child who cheerfully can make the most of whst he haa, who has learned the degree of self discipline necessary for living In harmony with others la likely to find happiness along the wayside, A T ' In running an arbitrary line to j divide the hyere from the hypos tlw omer aay, no uouoi we uiiptuvu quite a few folk who are just nor mal or average and refuse to be so classified. In order to relieve those who are neither hypos nor hypem, we'll propose another dl- iHBually vision or manxina into types today, acccrdl ng to the predominance cf the symca::ictlc or the vagus portion of the automatic or involuntary nervous system . in the temperament' and makeup. Pray do not be frightened If you don't understand what the sympa thetic or vagus portion of the In voluntary or autonomic nervous sys tem Is. Aa we proceed you'll see it doesn't matter, and I'm not sure I understand much about It myself, only I rather like to roll these Im posing terms off my chest now and then, being a doctor. Suff;ce to say that the autonomic nervous system presides over functions which are beyond control of the will, &ucn as the beating of the heart, the regulation of the breathing, and the secretory functions of the ductless glands. , This autonomic nervous system Is composed of. the sympa thetic 'portion on the one hand and the vagus portion on the other, and the one portion acts to an tagonize, balance or steady the other. An Individual In whom the sym pathetic Influence predominates (cell him a symp for short, not a "simp") is usually well nourished, warm handed, dry skinned, fluffy haired, blond and has small eyes. A symp has a clear, but often a pale com plexion. He or she Is of a "neuras thenic" disposition and must- be handled diplomatically lest thoy grow restive. Symps are hard cus tomers, hard pupils to control, hard patients to treat. They are emo tional, quick tempered, fickle and changeable. They have a pulse rate and a body temperature habit ually e, little higher . than the normal average. Practically- all of us have latent tuberculosis. Only a small minority of us with latent tuberculosis ever develop active tuberculosis and most of these groups are symps. Hap pily, however, a symp haa a better chanco to attain arrest ot active tuberculosis than does a vag.y icbaiitii;uujf aymytrt oio vancu oyi- pathlcotonlc" and vags 'vagatonic." The vag la typically a young adult who Is undernourished, underweight, brunette, has large, clear, glistening eyes with umall pupils, but Is short sighted . She ( usually ) has cold hands and -cold feet, sweats when the, least excited, suffers iWn "hy peracidity of the stomach, heart burn, enlarged tonsils, husk mess of voloe and Uriah Heeo hands. - A vag1 looks like a good subject for tuber culosis yet seldom has It. Vags go In . for hay fever, asthma.' croupy conditions, sore throat, gallstone, colic and eke mucous colitis. They complain of sudden flushing, stick ing of food In the gullet, too much saljva, nervous swallowing. The com monly described as "nervous" vagi are warm hearted, dry-eyed, cool, calm and collected. The pulse rate la : usually sixty or less. The body temperature is usually a d agree be low normal. ' Vags have a large tol erance for sugar or candy, and large craving for sweets.

Time to Feed the Bahy. My baby since birth has been troubled with constipation. She was breast fed and Is now 2 years, old. Orange juice, prune Juice, oatmeal, graham crackers seem to have no special effect. I am now giving her a teaspoonful of fa hlfalutln nostrum) daily . . . have also given her much plain mineral oil, but little castor oil. Mrs. D. V. T. Answer Still you're oil wrong. What the baby needs, and Bhould have received away back when she was four months old. - Is food. I believe every infant, breast fed or hand raised, that tends to be con stipated, should receive a dally ra tion of well ripened banana raw. It Is a sod day when you resort to nostrums to induce the Imitation of natural bowel function, especially when bananas are so cheap and so healthful for Infants who do not thrive. A Long While After. Is It possible for a weakness of the voice, especially after eating, to be caused by pressing of the stomach against the dlapragm? 8. A. V.
