A pair of California transients man and wife have been reduced to the place where they are too poor to buy eigarettes, and encompassed the eco nomic situation by buying a pipe apiece, and smoke tame as they wan der willy-nilly. Between your sniffles of sympathy, you may wonder why they did not purchase but one pipe, and puff same between them, but their distress wss not that dire as yet. They can ttlll buy gasoline, and all four tlret of their auto are in A-l condition. It sure It a panlo when lady geddera are reduced to pipe moklng, but our heroes should have tayed at home, among cigarette smoking friends.

Just how efficiently the Demo crats can meat things up, before casting their votes. The mystery of the looting of the Mills and Angel! a tores here the night of March S hat been pretty well solved. Certain facta led to cer tain conclusions, which proved to be about correct, and there is a chance that the owners may be reimbursed. (Lyons, Kan., Republican.) That's plain enough. General Chairman Melvln Wood pecker, of the Relief Board, reports many Indigent Bluejayt and British Bparrowa have made appeals for nuts and other necessities. "I told these birds laat summer," aald Chairman Woodpecker, "when the graaahoppert were plentiful, and every auto was a cafeteria, there would be another day, and they cawed at me. I really think the British Sparrowt are from Armenia, the way tbey Log." The League on the Spot JAPAN defies the League of Nations' demand that she with draw her troops from Manchuria by November 16, on the ground that the demand was not unanimous, and therefore is not binding. It is generally true that decisions of the 'Council must be unanimous, but there is one important exception, namely, that it must be unanimous : "OTHER than one or more of the representatives of the parties to the dispute." Japan and China are representatives to this dispute. Japan is the only objector. As she is one of the parties to the dispute, obviously her objection has no force. The decision of the Council therefore 18 unanimous. In other words, from the standpoint of the League, Japan has no case. If she persists in her refusal to obey this demand, then the issue is clearly drawn, between Japan and the League. too IT IS a critical situation, particularly for the League of Na tions. The League is faced by this dilemma: either with draw its demand, or force Japan to accede to it. The first action would be a confession of failure and im potence. The second would mean war. But, as previously pointed out in this column, how can the League wage war on Japan or any othfjr nation I It has no army, no navy, nor has it the machinery even to render an economic boycott effective. , All it can do PRACTICALLY, is to advise its members to wage war. But are there any nations in the world today that will declare war on Japan because the League invites them tot We doubt it. . The situation merely brings into sharp relief once more that until the League has force behind it, it is powerless to prevent war, when any nation desires it, or when the conditions that produce war exiBt. Here s Hoping It X THAT a rain, and look at Ashland and 'Wagner! A year ago, there was no snow to be seen in October, and little even two months later. The elements had an off year, deolared a moratorium, and what a costly one. But this year is different at least it is starting out that way. Unless all signs fail there will be no water shortaee In the sum mer of 1932. A Friend Indeed! A SUBSCRIBER has sent us a clipping from the Boston Transcript, in which for two long columns one "Bob" Washburn praises President Hoover and urges his re-election. We have read the interesting document and filed it among the 1931 journalistic euriosities. It is the first kind word we have seen for "Herbert" since the moratorium. The gist of this 200-word treatise is eontained in the fol lowing final paragraph, the injection of the prohibition issue due to the fact that the Transcript is Weti Because of which considerations hereinbefore set out. and by way of recapitulation, the cause of country demanda the re-election of the Prealdent, firat, because he la a bualness man; second, because of the business crisis; and third, because of his record and Independent of the Issue of prohibition. And yet strange Is the apectacle when because some think that the ship leaks, when aU know it oan best be oaulked by the business talents of Herbert Hoover, that anyone should Jump overboard onto the rsftt of Demoorscy, What a spectacle, that they do not ollng to the safety of the ship rather than to surrender to the waters of speolout popular appeal, ror, when the storm la stiff and the seaa surge, v;tv not stand by the skipper? Why not indeed I Simply beoause the human mind is made as it is. We wonder if Bob Washburn has never talked with passengers, just off an oooan liner aftor a terrible passage. How many have vowod they would walk back home rather than take passage on that "blnnkety blank" boat again. Obviously the boat had nothing to with the storms. But logio fails bofore the primitive association of ideas. It's he same with President Hoover and the Republican party. Had the Amerioan people taken passage in another boat their experience might have been worse perhaps fatal. But it will take a more logical and trenchant pen than Mr. Washburn wields to convince them of the fact, at the present writing. Sundown Stories Young-Old Jack (By Mary Oraham Bonner) The Little Black Clock had turn ed the time back once more and the children recognised Jack Frost at once as he came toward them. "Do you want to go along with me?" he asked, and Peggy and John thought it would be great fun to take a trip with euch an I m p o r tant person aa Jack Frost. The air was very still and very quiet, and hardly any wind was blowing. Jack Front was carrying long brushes and buckets filled with beautiful white paint that looked as though It were mixed with crys tal Jewels. He also had buckets filled with red paint and orange paint and bis helpers came hur rying along now to Join him. Off they all started, and John and Peggy helped paint the trees After they had finished with their work for the evening Jack Frost asked them It they thought he looked young. "Oh, yes." aald John, "you look very young. You dont look much older than I do." Jack Front laughed and answer ed: "Well, your friend the Little Black Clock turned the time back to I am quite young. , . . . . , s a Hard Winter the snow covered shoulders of "I'm going to turn the time tor ward, so that It la almost the asms time of year as It waa when he started out for this adventure." the Clock answered. "You see," explained Jack Frost, "ha turned It back to an autumn cf a good many yearsr ago when you first met me this time. But now It Is the autumn of 1931 once more. Do you think I look an; older?" "Not a bit," said John, an he looked at Jack Frost. .MM IUI tMaif 9u rrv "A busy week's ahead for me, tlnce I must be prepared To see that all my Barnyard friends are welt and truly scared Upon that night of nlghta that't known aa Hallowe'en, you know."

Our Tottering World, . Copyright King Feature Synd. Ino The League of Nations, vot ing thirteen to one, tells Japan to get out of China taking troops and airplanes with her, not later than November 16, and tells China to guarantee the safety of Japanese citizens and property on her soil. Japan in diplomatic language says: "No can do." China might make the same reply. Intense hatred has been aroused. Japanese will not be safe on Chinese soil, unless pro tected by Japanese , fighting men. Instead of getting out of China, Japan may get out of the League of Nations. Being outvoted there, thirteen to one, might be considered a hint. That is the sort of vote this nation would enoounter, if it were foolish enough to join the league. Some high spirited American speculators, said to have been heavy short sellers of silver on the New Tork metals exchange, would "cover" that dangerous short selling, if they were to in vestigate and understand con ditions in the East. In war, soldiers, merchante, aU with whom Asiatic nations deal, de mand what they call "real money." They know nothing ot gold, will not recognize value a piece ot printed paper, England, foolishly, tried to put In dia on a gold basis, and had to abandon the gold basis, herself. To day when a Hindu received a five rupee note from his employer, he runs to the nearest bank, to get five silver rupees, and have real money. The Speclel Bank of Toklo has been buying sUver recently. Germany hat been buying It, and big American silver producors are not selling at the moment. Increased value 'for sUver would mean profit for the United States. SUver it an American metal. This North American continent has al most a monopoly of Its production.

That will not happen, but silver will go up 30 cents an ounce before it goet down 5 cents. When India gains power, through Gandhi, or other wise, ehe will reach out and get back her sliver that the British have sold. Beware of selling silver short, Bertrsnd Russell Is here, to tell you that the world Is "tottering." England, he says. Is "Just running down." Mo one Is managing that fair country, which, if fortunate, will become a sort ot Insular Holland from being a world ruler. If Russia finds a better kind of government, there wlU be tremend ous propaganda, with all the nations ot the world at war, perhaps. Russell Is a "belted earl," able to sit in the House ot Lords It he chooses, title genuine and guaran teed, but he calls himself "Mister" and writes books. His "The Scien tific Outlook," Just published by W. W. Norton and Company, New York, will lntereat you. Read it. Russell says Eddlngton believes In religion because atoms do not obey the laws of mathematics. Thla provee that they obey a higher law. 8tr Jamea Jeans believes in a tort of religion because atoms DO obey the laws ot mathematics. "Both these arguments have been accepted with equal enthusiasm by the theologians." H. O. Wells la here also, and, as Frederick the Great asked. "Who IS In It?" whan told Voltaire wst not In the academy, you feel inclined to ask who it left In England, with those two out. Wells, like Russell, hat reaohedt he early pesslmlstlo stage.

EARLY RECOOMTIO Fifteen yesra ago I received quite a few letters from foolish parents who had a child, usually a daughter, who was "not strong" and wished to know what I thought about giving the frail child Father Shyster's Food Tonic, or Dr. Fossil's Old Reliable Remedy or the remedy that cured some far off testimon ial writer or even tubercle - bun combe. Times change. Such in quiries rarely fil ter In these days. But In the past five years I have received too many Inquiries about the lost health and weight of young women who have reduced too weU If not wisely. When ever I touch on the subject of tuber culosis or its treatment I receive sev eral letters from readers who are pa tients In a hospital and who want to tell the history of their own mis steps and of the tuberculosis, Inef ficiency or neglect thown by the doc tor or doctors they first consulted. In a tabulation of the histories of 3,300 tuberculosis cases EhrenrelcJ: found that in a majority of cases the patients did not consult a doctor until they had been In poor health from three montha to a year! In that period most of them were content to experiment with something rec ommended by a kind druggist or something suggested in an advertise ment. Now even If aU these patients bad gone promptly to their regular physicians for examination and ad vice in the first three to twelve months of Impaired health, It is en tirely likely that a gaad many' of them would have come away from the Interview with the doctor a few dollars poorer but not much wiser, for when all la said and done the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in the incipient stage demands a good deal of courage on the part of the physician, aa well as tkUl. The diagnosis Is a matter of the doctor's opinion, not a question of fact. Be fore the doctor can risk It he must have some assurance thao the pa tient puts confidence in him; he must weigh the patient's mentality and decide whether the patient Is In telligent enough to accept the opin ion. A great many patients in that etage ot the disease lack the con fidence In the physician and the in telligence to accept the doctor's opin ion after they have asked for it and paid tor it. It he says the trouble is tuberculosis in hla Judgment, the patient is quite likely to listen to various friends, neighbors and eoap box specialists who assure him it is no such thing. If the Diagnosis of incipient or first stage tuberculosis Is difficult, how much greater is the doctor's problem in dealing with the pre-tuberculosis state, the stage when there are no definite signs, not even significant symptoma, but Just malaise, fatigue, "run down condition," tired feeling, peevishness, capricious appetite, usu ally dlttaste for fats, anemia, "catarrh," tendency to "catch cold" easily but no cough, perhaps Just a ness ot Industrialism, will probably get over today's little troubles. M If anybody should call our civiliza tion '"stupid" Instead of "tottering," you could not contradict him. Here, with everything in the world that we need, we are In deep trouble, because we do not know how to bal ance demand and production. M Brazil has ordered hundreds of tons of coffee, ot the leaser grades, made into bricks, for fuel in locomotives, to reduce the surplus, and we have bread and coffee Unet, with copper and cotton at 7 cents. Great Industrialists have concen trated on hopelessly stupid competi tion with each other. They call it "rounding out." One steel company observes that another has a wire fence factory, which it lacks, so It builds one, must use It, the more OVER PRODUCTION. In Milwaukee, L. R. Smith, extra ordinary manufacturing genius, finds a new, better way, to make pipe, of all sizes, for oil, gas, etc The big steel companies all steal his Ideas and copy them, throwing on the scrap pile their obsolete plants that cost scores of millions. That was to be expected. But they OVER PRODUCE and In fierce competition, ruin their busi ness, which waa not expected. And the government, with Its Sherman act, more stupid even than big industry, forbids agreements that could end disastrous competing over production.
