inquiry aa to whether he had
about him a piece or toast, and
to the visitor's counter-Inquiry
why he required toast the in

recall this because only In the

Gene Tunney on Russia
GENE TUNNEYJS debut into the literary field, in this week's
Collier's,' is a formidable assault on the prerogatives and
privileges of the professions. Tunney 's initial bow as an author
has nothing to do with his former vocation of boxing, but deals
solely with his impressions of Russia and the Soviet system.
Tunney confesses that he went to Russia in hopes of finding
a panacea for the world's ills. He was fed up with the Ameri
can political and economic scene. ' His indictment' of corruption
in American politics and business is bitingly "terse..
But disillusion awaited him in Russia, and he frankly ad
mits it. i ' . .
TJOWEVER, the most pungent of his observations on the Rus-
A gjan scene has. to do with religion and the ruthless Soviet
attitude toward it. He goes on a visit to a smelter where the
Russian authorities are melting up bid metal to make ammuni
tion for the Red Army. . ;.
"To a great extent they had been cast from metal donated by
peasants, copper, bronze, gold, silver. They had been gorgeous
works of art, decorated with bas-reliefs of the saints, the apos
tles, of Christ, of His parables." "' '.' ' . .,
TO TUNNEY, this seemed shocking and unnecessary. He ven
tured a remark along this line to the smelter boss. "How
many tons have you in this hillt" he asked ' ' .
"I don't know,", replied the smelter boss, "but thus far
we've smelted 600,000 tons of them for their bronze, gold, silver,
copper and so on. The theory is plain enough: the bells were
made for the churches out of metal donated by the peasants.
Now we've taken the bells from the churches and returned the
metal to industry to the workers." ,
A more detailed explanation
workers' council.' "You must
ers of this country are the rulers of the Soviet Republic. .'. All
that these bells symbolize is done and gone. The workers willed
it that way. .These things are of no use to Us. We have abol
ished what these bells stood for-Hsuperstition."
. . . e "" ' -
TUNNEY goes on with his account of the conversation, . "The
Soviet, spokesman was still1
were bundles of icons; candelabra, holy, vessels and altar pieces,
all in machine-pressed blocks ready for the furnace. On top of
this mound I saw what seemed to me.to .be a man asleep. The

Bort and so sure was I that it -was one of the workers taking a
siesta out of hours that I asked the 'president , of the workers'
council about it. ,.' - '. :' . .
"For the first time he grinned. He winked at another Rus
sian and, catlike; leaped up the bill of confiscated altar pieces.
A shout from him made us step back. He raised his right foot
and rolled the prostrate figure over with a thrust of his heel.
It teetered on the edge and then, came rolling down, crashing
in a moment at our feet. , : ' ' . ;

"There's nothing muoh bigger than
an ocean," John added, but now they
were watoning Balboa and his men
Owing to the Little Black Clock's
maglo they could understand all lan
guages and now they heard Balboa
calling this ocean the Southern ocean.
"But It's the Pacific Isn't It?" John
asked. "You Just said Pacific." '
"Later on It will be called Pacific,
but now Its name Is Southern," the
Clock replied. "They will call It Pa
cific because they will find It so
peaceful an ocean after stormy ones
tnrougn which they have sailed.
"But it can be aa stormy aa any
other ocean only some of the first
navigators will not encounter some
of the Paelflo's storms at once.
"He Is taking the ocean now aa a
possession of Spain, for Balboa has
come from Spain."
"lt'a a nice thing that he realises
something of what he has discovered,'
John said. Columbus didn't halt

But now many Indians ware com

AVOIDING ACCIDENTS
Alice Judson Peale.
Our unthinking behavior when we
see a child taking any sort or risk
la to shout- to him it warning In
tones of. fear.
It Is. "Come away from that
stove, you'll get burned." "Don't go
near that) dog. he'll bits youl" "Put
down that knife, you'll cut your
finger."
This sort of thing la entirely nat
ural, but It does not teach the child
how to oonduot almself In relation
to such risks.
It 1 not sensible simply to make
a child afraid, for fear Is not caution.
The spirited, aggresive child soon
learns to disregard our warnings,
while the timid one may acquire
chronlo apprehension about ths most
ordinary things. . ,
- Most accident, happen, because
people are frightened. In the face of
danger. .
They are avoided by a learned skill
m dealing with risks, and a cool head
that permits prompt, clear-sighted
action.
Explaining to the child, at a mo
ment when there is no danger, why
he must stay-away from the hot
stove, showing htm how to avoid
coming near it In his plav. Is muoh
better then waiting till the danger
la imminent and then shouting at
him. ' 1 .
'explaining to him that It la best
not Jo pet any dog until Its owner
nas assured him thst It is friendly,
la better then Inspiring a panicky
fear of all dogs.
Teaching him the correct way to
avta ana use a anile, once he is old
snough to handle one, will help avoid
the danger of serious hurt that may
result when he uses Is surreptitiously
without preliminary Instruction,
Planning ahead to meet unavoid
able risks, teaching the eh lid atti
tudes of caution, giving him the
necessary skill In oonduotlng him
self safely In relation to them, is
ths best way to minimise the danger

THE BREATHING MACHINE
Aooordlng to pictures of the tragic
fire In Pittsburgh, ss published In the
newspapers, that city hss not yet seen
' the light. - In the
pictures brave
(Ir man were
shown going thru
the motions of
resuscitating Tic
tlms of the fire
with s pulmotor.
or -lungmotor, or
some such sir
pump apparatus,
If these news
pictures wre
actually pictures
of -occurrences at the fire, and not
Just posed pictures made to gratify
the vanity of tho firemen, It would
seem that the victims of the fire
were not given a fair chance.
Certainly the application of such
a breathing machine or pump Is an
tiquated and unjustifiable In this day
of enlightenment. If the educational
spirit of the burg Is so anemic that
the firemen of the town are to be
permitted to pull off such stunts In
a time of real disaster, then there
must be . something radically wrong
with Pittsburgh.
Quite frequently one . reads about
attempts to resuscitate victims of
drowning or asphyxiation with a "pul
motor" but one likes to assume that
this Is Just a bit of dtvlnatlon on the
part of -the reporter who gets the
story secondhand or by long distance
communication, and that In fact no
such atrocity has been . perpetrated.
' Whatever the pictures and the
stories may say 'about it, -there can
be no question that prone-pressure
artificial respiration, by the Schafer
method. Is always-safer and more ef
fective than can be the use of any
breathing machine. And In any com
munity that is out ot the dark ages
there should be available for such
emergencies lnhalators to provide oxy
gen and carbon dioxide mixture for
th victim to Inhale while the prone
pressure artificial respiration Is being
applied.- - An lnhalator Is not a pump,
not a machine, requires no engineer,
not even a fireman. It Is merly a
couple of tanks or cylinders of com
pressed oxygen and carbon dioxide,
and an Inflatable rubber bag- from
which the victim may Inhale tbe
93-7 per cent mixture of oxygen and
carbonic acid gas fcarbon dioxide).
It adds much to the value of the
prone-pressure manual artificial res
piration, but it is of no use without
s,uch manual artificial respiration.
. Carbon dioxide, you see, is what
makes us breathe. Oxygen does not
make us breathe. Give a person a
few whiffs of pure oxvgen and he
ceases breathing altogether for from
two to eight minutes. Olve him a
few whiffs of diluted carbon dioxide,,
anything up to 7 or 8 per cent in
air or oxygen, and he will breathe
deeply and rapidly.
So for heaven's sake, Pittsburgh,
out out the comical Fireman Save
My Child act and give your smoke
asphyxiated victims a chance. Any
Boy Scout can show the dumb eggs
In the health department, police de
partment or the fire department how
to resuscitate.

this be a tapeworm?- -O. B.
Answer No, It takes very little to
maintain a tapeworm. Most persons
who nave tapeworm are well nour
ished or overnourtshed and have Just
ordinary appetite. You should have
a thorough physical examination by
your family doctor, . and perhaps a
course of Insulin treatment to help

the eyes. Cataract is a clouding or

Does this mean anything In particu
lar? B. J. .

Communications
Authors and the Youths Companion.
To the Editor:
Mr. Ruhl's advice to budding auth
ors Is all right aa far as It goes, as
far as the etampe. He neglected to
add that those letters need stamps,
both inside and out; postage both
ways. Even then editors sometimes
fire them back without looking for
your stamps, eome need more stamps
to return than to go, and eome are
sunk without a trace.
. It looks as If the discovery of a
promising new author rejoloes an
editor no less than does the receipt
of a slip of paper reading ''Pay to
the order of" hearten a- would-be
author. '
And speaking of authors, the Item

nouncing the death at Norway, Main,
at the age of 86, of Gharlea Asbury
Stephens, for 40 years on the staff
of the Youth's Companion (both Y
and O upper case, please) to thou
sands of- readers of six decades, breaks
one more link with the past.
The old Youth's Companion' wis
absolutely Impersonal. The editors'
names never appeared from one year's
end to the next. The Perry Mason
Co. published it at Boston, Mass.,
e-ery Thursday, and to this' day
Thursday stands out a Youth's Com
panion day, although It has ceased.
Many excellent writers filled Its 'col
umns with the cream of the literature
and entertainment, or its day.. But
ot all those names, the name of C. A.
Stephens and the tales or the old
farm, will be retained after the others
are forgotten.
The - patriarchal old . squire, the
grandmother, Theodora, Quoghogger,
the comforts and Joys of the Isolated
New England farmouse, deep enows,
sleighs, luclvees, bee-trees, apples,
and other obJec.te. which are more or
less vivid, come to mind. The prank

the energetic old squire had perform.

quite sure if the squire waa kidding
tnem and me old squire, with a sense
of humor, maintaining his compoeui-e
and never chiding his grandsons for
the trick, and the latter properly
contrite.
The Incident describing the cssml
visitor whose only concern was the
discovery of promising specimens of
wild apples, and the way the grand
mother described him. left no doubt
that it was the naturalist Thoreau
aa he searched the Maine countryside
for the "winter apples" of his writ
ings, which will alwaya have charm
ror nature lovers.
Whether the fertility of the auth
or's brain or the fertility of the farm
produced these tales, is not pertinent
to Inquire at this late date. They
were real to youth of all agea, in that
not so sophisticated day.

JU ANITA'S STORY ';'
'J'HE guard, who bad paced up
and down before Juanlta's cell,
waa passing now. As be went by
he glanced In at Juanlta, seated on
her bed with Kirk beside her. -v
For a moment she was silent;
then, the guard out of, bearing, she
poke, again.
"I told you of .my mother . . ,
bow sha. died a year ago. She was
killed. Not outright, but little by
little, day by day. She had married
Jobs de Banos eight years after my
father died. His wealth has made
him known, bis great planta
tions ...
"When he waa courting my
mother he waa so g-llant, so kind.
... My mother was of the Basaras
In Mexico City. Da Banos they bat
ed as an enemy. It was an old quar
rel, and my mother begged them
to forget and lay It by.
"Her brothers warned her that
If she married him they would re
nounce her, and never see- her
again.. I think she loved him. I
only know she married, him, gave
up her people and went with him
to Vera Crux. She took only me
and old Pedro. Pedro . had been
with her since her marriage to my
father. ,
"Pedro and I watched her die.
"She had been frail always. Great
eyes and heavy hair, and sucb a
little body, like a child's like
Nelly's. . . . Not strong e6ough to
fight and no one to turn to.
"That waa why I fought for her.
Often In the night I heard her cry
ing, and when I would go to com
fort her sbe would say, What have
I brought you to, Juanttar (That
was her name for me) 'What will
you do when I am gone?' she would
say. And I would answer, 'Pedro
will take care ot me, Mamtta.'
"Pedro bad taken care of us
both before. Once when ilamlta
was stricken with the fever Pedro
nursed her. And when the bandits
came he stood guard at our door,
and though he waa shot, he kept
them at bay, and they went away.
He came near dying of his wound.
"But she answered, 'I have
robbed you of your people. You
will have nowhere to go. They hate
us now." "
"Hatred Is a deadly thing with,!

Banos.
"His mistresses came openly to
tbe house. I remember a banquet
he gave to one ot them. ... I re
member the noises of their orgy as
the night went by. .
- "I remember the dress of gold
tlBsue that she wore. ...
"I remember my mother.' '
"Pedro said to me, 'Some day I
shall kill him.'
"I said, 'Hush, Pedro.' But I had
said the thing to myself many
times.
"She found peace at last I aald
to de Banos, 'You have killed her.'
"He hated me for that. He kept
me prisoner in bis great house. He
feared I would say abroad what I
bad said to him. But others knew
Already.
"He knew that t hated him, but
he did not know that Pedro hated
him too. Old Pedro, part Indian,
who would hare died for me, and
who said again; 'I will kill him.'
No, Pedro,' I said, and knew that
I myself would do the thing.
"Pedro slipped decent food to
me in my prison where Estrella,
who had been de Banos' mistress
and wbo was still his housekeeper,
watched me nlgbt and day. Pedro
was too clover, even for her. He
slipped tbe key to me also, bidding
me be careful when I used it
"Estrella had taken my clothes.
But once 1 had come home from
a dance . and slept in this tower
room, not to disturb my mother.
Ths dresa I bad worn hung there
still the cloak, the slippers were
there.
"It was dark. Far below I heard
de Banos' and Gstrella's laughter.
Estrella was certainly nowhere
. near my door. ... I heard the clink

of glasses and more laughter. Once(
a door banged. Then came silence)
that lasted a long time.
"I wrapped my cloak about mm
and went down tbe stair. The door
ot da Banos' room stood open. D
Banos lay on the rug, face down.:
The lights were burning. ;
"I thought 'He is drunk. Tomor
row he will be violent But I shall
be gone.'
"Then I saw something shining

"I knew that I bad done It
Nothing could have told me that
I had not done It Too often I badj
done it in my dreams. Too often l
bad feared that I would do it before;
I thought Too often I had prayed;
God not to let me do it
"I ran down the stair, knowing!
that any minute Estrella might
come and catch me Estrella who
loved bim and who knew my bate.
I ran fast Tbe streets were empty.
I met no one. I reached the docks.
There was a boat there. I bid
Juanlta paused. Kirk's arm drew
her closer. But he did not stop her.
She must tell him all. She would
be easier then.
"At aea when I was calmer I
knew. It was not I, but Pedro . . .
Pedro whose bate was even greater
than mine. For my sake he had
none tnis. . . I was aoie to mins.
Me they would not kill, even it they ,

"I reached New Orleans, and here!
here"
"I know," said Kirk. "I have;
talked with Divitt"- he added.j
"While I waited to see you. He la;
here." j
"Then you know. I gave him the
first name I thought of that night
Basara My mother's name. It la
also mine. . . . One night my uncle;
came to Dlvltt's my mother's eld-
est brother, the one who most bit
terly opposed her marriage. I
thought be bad come to find me.
You had brought him, and I thought
yon, too "
"I remember that nighf said
Kirkv "I knew you were In trouble."
"You said you hardly looked at
me."
"I knew you were in trouble," he
repeated. "But now now it's alt i
over." -
"The hunt, you mean. Yes. It to
worse man capture. . . . u only
Pedro has said nothing." '
Her eyes widened. "Yon know?
. . . He is safe?" . .
"Pedro is safe. I have a paper
here, an old paper." Kirk took It
from his pocket "It was not Pedre)
who killed de Bonos."
"Not Pedro? . . ; Could It have
been Estrella? Do they know?"
"They know. Did you ever bear
ot a dancer named Lolita Guyez?"
She nodded quickly. "It was to
her he gave the banquet while my
motber lived."
"Lolita came that night" said
Kirk. "She found him with Estrella.
It is all here In this paper that
Gabreau's mother gave me. ..."
"Conchita. . . ." Juanlta whis
pered, spreading ths paper out "It
must have been this that Divitt
Baw. And he told me "
Kift broke in. "Conchita said
that Molly tried to tell you, that
she pointed to where the paper was
hidden where the white shawl
was. After you had gone Conchita
found the paper."
"Molly Molly," said Juanlta soft
ly. "Molly would have told me. . , ."
The guard had been gone a long
time. He came back now with the
warden. They opened the cell door.
The warden spoke to Kirk. '
"We've heard," he said. "It waa
like you said, sir. But we had to
wait for our answer."
Sunshine. Wet streets drying is

abloom with cabbages and tomatoes
and strange, bright fruits. , . . The
moist river-sweet air.
Here and there about the old
place the brown-skinned mar-
cdandet were busy with their trays
ot cakes and pralines.
Tbe car went over the cobble
toward upper St. Charles.
"Tired?" asked Kirk.
"A little."
"Not too tired to fly away, were?
you?" i
She smiled, not looking up rest
ed, strangely rested, now.
"Fold your wings," said Kirk.
