Some of these things are humiliating. But NOTHING that la sanctioned by our government today can be as humiliating as the Institution of human slavery, which was formally V rtmi. hv law In this country aa late as 70 years ago. The Institution of human slavery was finally done away with, and so It follows that these other things that should not be will also be done away with In the course of time, and as the public attitude toward them becomes more enlightened. So let us not lose confidence In our ability to Improve the conditions under which ws live. IAMBS VARECHA, er-lnmate of an Illinois Institute for mental &f fectlvea, Is arrested In Chicago and subjected to 14 hours of questioning by the police. He finally breaks down and confesses to three slayinge, robberies, several attacks on women and seven unprovoked shoot tags. "But," he shouts at the police ai he sums the confession, "I am Insane, and you can't do anything to me!" ' OH yes we can "we" In this ln stance referring to organized clety. We can oonflne him again in an institution for the criminal Insane " whence he may escape at any mo ment to resume his career of crime. But that's about all we can do. GRETA QARBO, back In Sweden after a short trip to London and Paris, complains that she was perse euted while In those cities. Her life, she says, was made a "misery." and her holiday was ruined, by the way people acted toward her. IJOW did people act toward her f - well, It seems that they wanted to see her. and in satisfying this de sire they Invaded her privacy to an extent that appeara to have been oulte distressing. They Just simply WOULDN'T let her be alone, npoo bad; quite too bad. a But these seme people who Just won't leave Greta alone have made her one of the great ones of the earth. They have made her services so In demand, at high rates, that the much-discussed depression mesns practically nothing to her at least as compared with millions of others who have been affected by It. If these millions of people, you know, who are so much Interested In Greta that they make her life misery by denying her the privacy she professes to crave, should LOSE INTEREST In her, her earning power would be gone and she would become lust another person without a Job. SO don't waste too much sympathy on Oarbo. It Is terrible, of course, to be deprived of privacy, but it Is much mors terrible to be de prived of a Job. And If Greta should lose the hold on the publlo which makes this same public yeam to see her, so that It i vnnv fnr Itself lust hOW BhS looks out of her war paint and what she weara and how she eats, and all those other little details that Intrigue us common ordinary persons , she would also LOSS HER JOB, She hssnt really quite as much to complain about as she thinks she has, THIS aversion to "publicity" 1 rather badly overdone by a lot of our famous people even Including LIndy. who has had a lot to say about It and who makes a rather good case for himself. If the public hadn't taken a tre mendous Interest In htm. following his astonishing flight across the At lantic. Ltndy would still be Just an' other pilot, with nothing much look forward to. to! Publicity has taken away from him his privacy, but it hsa auto given to," nt-r ingonomry. him many things that are eminently worth while. The interest of the public, when you look at it In a fair and right and 'reasonable way. is something that Is quite worth having.

STATE SEEKING CLOSE CONTROL' FUNOSPENDING Budget Board to Veto $380, , 000 Requested by State Aided Institutions Unless . Supervision Is Obtained SALEM, Nov. 22. (AP) Unless legislation la enacted giving the state board of control Jurisdiction over the expenditure of funds for state-sided Institutions, ths 380,000 requested appropriations' for this purpose will be disapproved by the budget de partment, Is was snnounced here to day. Henry M. Hanzen, director of budget, addressed a letter to the three member, of the board of control Bet ting out the system under which these funds sre used, and requested proper legislation In order to ade quately protect the atate In connec tion with future appropriations. In his letter Hanzen sets forth the laws under which the state appro priates funds for the 12 state-aided Institutions, most of which are In Portland and vicinity. He states the law vests the 'child welfare commla ston with authority to aupervlse these Instructions; that ths board of con trol audits the accounts arid approves upon certificate the recommendations of the commission, and that when ever any child Is committed to any of these Institutions by a court, such Institution shall receive state aid for the child. "In other words." Hanzen Bays, "this latter provision dlveats the child welfare commission and the Btate board of control of Jurisdiction over children committed by a duly consti tuted court snd psves the way for ultimately divesting the commission and the board of control of Jurisdic tion over claims that may be sub mitted by the child csrlng Institu tions and agenclea for any and su stats aid."
