Who would have predicted a ' year ago that England would ever be forced to suspend gold payments, and close all plete financial mint . Such action only emphasizes again the fact that this world wide depression hag produced a crisis second only to that pro duced by the world war AS IN 1914, so today England is fighting with her back to the wall. All political lines have been abandoned, a coalition government has been formed, forgotten, and under the leadership of Premier MacDonald, the people of England are standing the fprces of industrial and economic disaster. Just as the world war demonstrated that the world is a unit, so this world-wide depression is demonstrating the same truth The crisis in Germany a few months ago, shook this planet's en- tire financial structure ; and now New York Stock Exchange equally drastic measures are Tokio. 11fR. J. P. MORGAN, discarding the policy of a lifetime, sub mits to a newspaper interview, and declares this suspen sion of the gold standard, instead of being a-discoursging sign, is a hopeful one. Paying a high fulness and courage, he maintains England will win out as cer tainly today as she did in 1918. We hope Mr. Morgan is right, that he is, for we have a deep stability and capacity of the British people. NEVERTHELESS, in Morgan's statement, the wish is father nf t.hA thniio-hr. .Tllaf na purine, t.ha wni offai. e uvflffd V-a. verse, military leaders were forced, for the sake of national morale, to discount the seriousness of the disaster and express' an optimism, not really justified by the circumstances, so fin ancial leaders are compelled to do the same thing now. Suspension of the gold standard is not a hopeful sign, but quite the reverse. The hopeful sign lies in the spirit of the British government and the British people, the same spirit, of never giving up, of meeting every reverse with a greater deter mination to win rather than less, that won the war. KJATIONS, like individuals, have hidden powers, often unsus- ' pected and seldom utilized, until a supreme crisis; and. the difference between a strong nation and a weak one, lies pri marily in its ability to meet a crisis, by calling upon this "inner reserve." Great Britain is calling upon this reserve now, and Mr. Mor gan believes she will gtave off financial disaster now just as she staved off military disaster 13 years ago. Such a, view is justtified. But, as the United States was the determining factor In that war victory, we fear the United States will have to be the determining faotor in this one. In fact, the more one considers this world war and world depression situation, the more parallel, ' Daoid Starr Jordan fAVID STAR JORDAN possessed to an exceptional degree two of ths greatest human age.

He thought things out independently, and when as a result of this thinking he reached certain convictions, he always had the courage to sustain them.

Dr. J. P. Mon tague titles a chapter In his excellent little book "Troubles We don't Talk About" .(Llpplncott), In a striking way; "Cancer la Not a Disease!" Then he goes on to explain that It is only the result of a disease a deadly dis ease known as delay. How true that Is,' .especially In reference to rectal cancer. Procrastination, putting off the first visit to the doctor, the first proper examination, trying to believe it Just a little "piles," this Is how the deadly disease known as delay manifests Itself. Right here I again suggest to young doctors the great need of communltlea everywhere for special ists in rectal diseases. Every day Inquiries for such specialists come to me and too often I am unable to name a qualified physician In the correspondent'svclty. There are hun dreds of cities without such special ists. Here Is a field which is not overcrowded. I bate to frighten or worry any body, but even at the risk of losing friends I feel bound to give this warning about cancer. Simple piles does account for occasional bleeding In most cases In young people, but when a person past 40 notices such bleeding, whether he knows he Is subject to piles or not, the only safe and sensible course for him is to be examined at once by a physician. Then, too, It Is folly to delay con sulting the physician when there Is any Idea that there Is a constriction, narrowing or stricture which ob structs the passageway. Alternating constipation and diarrhea should ssrve as a warning signal, for this Is a frequent symptom In cancer: of course alternating constipation and diarrhea Is Just as likely to be duo to some benign condition. A newspaper man most newspaper men are good sports read something I wrote about this, got badly scared, hurried to his doctor, learned his trouble was a minor ailment, and then proceeded to take vengeance against me. I don't care or I wouldn't mind If the old orab had been anything else but a newspaper man. The great trouble with me, as a health column conductor, la that I'm positively oplsthotonlo about avoiding morbid suggestion. And there's a word that will send a lot of 'em to the dic tionary, I'll betcha. What 'constitutes a proper, exam ination In such cases? Not a mere examination with gloved finger. The proper examination is made with the aid of special Instruments, and le quite painless, If skillfully done.

A rougher element seemed to be entering the parlors by way of response. In some way the tidings of Fill's realism and departure had filtered in to Molly. Molly wrote a tremu lous note to Juanita, asking her to come back and pass the cigarettes again. Also, would Juanita come In and aee her? Molly, apparently, had not been told that Junnltj,. w. i- the house. She had given the note to Gabreau . the day after. Juanlta'a return, ask ing him to get it to Juanita some how. Gabreau had known that It waa useless to fire it to Juanita until today. Today, Jaunlta reading the note, coming back to earth with a body spent and a vision strangely clari fied, divined that Molly wished to draw her out of the plight she was in. Molly had known, but Molly had not been in accord with that plight This knowledge was to Juanita like a light shining faintly In a dark chaotlo world. She resolved to go back to the parlors, tonight If she could walk. And to go to see Molly. "Molly got somep'n' she want to tell you," Gabreau said. Gabreau had spoken little, sitting at Juanlta'a aider, hie long arms dangling over the chair. Juanita liked to see him there. Even to her It had seemed that she was drifting out that the shore waa growing fainter. "Is Molly very ill, Gabreau?" she asked. He nodded. "No bebby now," h aald. Juanita, In her weakness, felt ths tears. "Poor Molly!" ahe said, "I think the glad," Gabreau an swered quickly. "I don't know, but 1 think she glad. Dla ain't no place fer chlll'n."
