NEW YORK, May lfl. The Olym
pian flippancies of Lola Long and
Dorothy Parker are constantly con
vulsing the town
especially those
dlscourl of cul
turo about that
modern Athena
known aa the Al
gonquin. To aay
nothing of the
upper edge In
orustatlng around Sutton
Place. No dinner
to a wow without
quoting them.
Miss Long, the
daughter of a
minister and for
mer wife of Pe
ter Arno, la arti
cled to The New
Yorker for which she report the
dizzy confusions of the night clubs
under the nom de fantasia "Lip
stick." She Is young, vibrant and
dewey with sophistication. Yet she
will scribble:
"The old girl has been waltzing.
All over the place. I showed the
young folk a thing or two." And so
on which gives the Idea. The chat
tor of both Miss Long and Miss Park
er are loaded with endless buoyancy
but their cutting wise-cracks have a
aeraphte glow which dolls the sting,
Dorothy Parker was born Dorothy
Rothschild In one of those wildly
named Jersey suburbs. Her poetry la
In favor and one of her short stories
captured an O. Honry prlre. She
promises publishers any material
they ask and gives them nothing.
But adds to gaiety of nations over
the cocktail without price.
"The Story of a Lie 11
JUt ANY years ago a tale was written called: "The story of a
lie." It brought out heny one lie, necessitated others, and
still more, all to protect the prevaricator from the original
falsehood, until the poor devil was enmeshed in continual chi
canery and deception.
Hand in hand with this mendacity, growing as it grew, there
was a deterioration of character, a gradual moral decline, until
the supreme crisis was reached, and the victim was on the point
of murdering an innocent person all because a few years before,
he lacked the character and courage to tell the truth.
This crisis, however, finally turned the moral tide. The
criminal temptation was resisted, the original falsehood was
confessed, a clean breast of subsequent deceptions was made,
the man was left alone, unloved, without a friend completely
dishonored and discredited.
But instead of being crushed by such a fate, he was elevated
spiritually to a new plane and the story closed with his fervent
ejaculation:
"I am free, and I am happy really happy for the first
time."
The story was decidedly sentimental and no doubt over
drawn, it belonged to a romantic, non-realistic school, which
has gone completely out of style.
Yet it contained o moral truth, which in this somewhat
cynical age, we believe i too frequently forgotten.
I IES, real lies, have a way of being found out. The in--
tentionally and essentially untruthful individual, in con
trast with the occasional romancer, who like Horatio was only
indifferently honest, sooner or later, always comes to grief.
And those who don't like the chief figure in this story, con
fess and recant, suffer a moral deterioration and a loss of inner
integrity, which ultimately prove their undoing.
In fact disregarding the accepted ethical code, there is rea
son to believe there is some subtle but powerful natural law,
that roughly governs such things,
As this crasty world whirls on, there are some who seem to
get away with lies, as others got away with murder.
But as the philosopher in "Mirages of the Morning" re
marked, "just give them time."
Time is the great leveller, the great revealer in all things.
Those who believe otherwise, are not so lacking in perception
as they are in patience.

The Pity of It
Miss Parker and Miss Long are the
embodiment of the transition period
of humor from, yeasty medievalism
to the modern edge that razors float
ing silk., It Is the devastating sort
that spares nothing. The saving
grace la that more often than not
the perpetrators turn It upon hom
selves. V
Lionel and John Barrymore were
recently yoo-hoolng with a five
figured offer to appear in a weekly
broadcast a detective mystery con

when they discovered It places their

Vincent Astor has poured several
Inherited millions Into apartment
ventures around Carl Schurs Park
on East End avenue. The hope was
to give It the arlstocratlo aura of
Button and Beekman Places, carved
out of slums. It la Ironic lhat the
most sustaining publicity tnt Astor
area received was when Ring Lardner
date-lined radio critiques "No Visi

hospital there. Hundreds of curious
made It their business to ferret out
the location.
Flushed days at Claremont Inn are
mostly a memory but sometimes for
dinner and often at tea this erstwhile
mansion of Theodosla Burr so charm

watch the ripple of the Hudson from
window tables. Or see a setting sun
shift the purpling palisades of Jersey
Into a crumble of marigold. Some
times the chance-encountered beau

roadway, the finest in the world of

from a hi p -high stone shaft to as

TTHE greatest obstacle to world recovery today is politics.
We don't mean politics in the abstract as the science and
art of government. We mean politics in the concrete, not as it
should be, but as it IS. In short practical politics, which is
essentially selfish lust for power) as contrasted with sincere
of tort for the public good.
THE destructive effort of politics, is clearly shown in Ger
many at the present time, with this man Hitler, trying to
Bwing the sabre, and wear the militaristic accoutorments of the
former Kaiser, and making a porfect ass of himself.
Hitler really doesn't want war. He knows what is left of
Germany would be completely destroyed by war. ' From a mili
tary standpoint Germany today is no match for France, leaving
out her certain allies, Poland and the Little Entente. Moreover
if war should come, Germany would be complotely isolated, not
only with England and America against her, but Soviet Russia
also.
War in short would be Biiicide and Hitler knows it. Yet for
months he has been doing nothing but arouse the German war
spirit, appeal to the spirit of hatred and revenge, and talk
like a drill sergeant who has gone completely crazy,
XTHYT For one reason and one reason alone. Because such
an appeal to violence and super nationalism was the
quickest way to power and continuing the appeal is the surest
way to hold it.
He has worked the people of Germany, particularly the
young Nazis into a perfect frenzy of militaristic patriotism,
an absurd revival of the "Germany Ueber Alles" motif which
was bad enough and dangerous enough when Germany was
strong and rich, but is positive lunacy and destruction now.
But having sown the wind, Hitler is unable to avoid reaping
the whirlwind. He secured his)lace by appealing to war and
violence, now he can only hold his place by keeping the spirit
alive.
And this tragic situation, tragic for Hitler we fear and
CERTAINLY tragic for the German nation, has been caused
solely by politics, selfish, unprincipled politics.
Peace is the only hope for Germany just as it is the only
hope for the world. But because an ex-Austrian clerk wanted
power, and because he had the demagogic arts to arouse the
people, to place him in power, Europe again is on the brink
of war. A perfoctly needless and for Germany at least a sui
cidal war.
Stresseman could have saved Germany for he was a REAL
statesman. . Hitler as we view it, can only destroy Germany,
because essentially he is nothing but a cheap and self seeking
politician.

FRUIT GROWERS' MEET
CALLED FOR THURSDAY
According to information given tha
Mall Tribune, there will be a meeting
of fruitgrowers of the valley at the

NURSE TO CLEVELAND
CHILDREN SUCCUMBS
PORTLAND. May 16. (jp, Word of
the death Sunday at her Neotsu, Ore.,
beach home of Mrs. Florence Reming
ton Logan, 73. was received by friends
here last night. Mrs. Logan was a
nurse in the White House when presi
dent Ororer Cleveland's children were
born. She came to Oregon in 1911.
Her husband. Dr. A. ' M. Logan of
Neouu, survives.
Men who work under conditions of
intense heat naturally sweat pro.
fusely and become very thirsty. If
they drink me
large quantities
of water their
thirst calls for,
they are likely to
suffer from
cramps, or milder
symptoms such
as fatigue and
lassitude.
Dr. H. C. Wor
thlngton says
that when golf
ing and sweating
freely he finds
that plain water at the fountain does
not seem to go anywhere or relieve
thirst, but If he adds salt to the water
it becomes refreshing and stimulat
ing. The thoughtful doctor adds that
many years ago when hot and tired
and sweating from bicycling he dis
covered that a draft of common table
salt In a glass of water was far more
refreshing and Invigorating than any
of the drinks he could get along the
road.
For people who are fortunate
enough to work up a good sweat at
their dally work, play or hobby rid
ing, this Is an Interesting question
of physiology. Active sweating (in
duced by muscular exercise) every day
Is a fine thing for health. Not be
cause any "poison" or "toxic waste
matter" Is excreted In the sweat, but
because It Is an Index of Increased
metabolism, Increased oxidation, bet
ter combustion, and that's the way
any harmful wastes are destroyed.
Sweat is practically nothing but
water and salt. When sweating .Is
profuse, considerable salt Is excreted,
and this salt Is drawn from the blood
and the lymph or fluid In the tis
sues of the body. The rapid loss of
water produces great thirst. If the
individual now drinks freely of water
his blood and lymph become quickly
diluted. This means diminished os
motic pressure. Characteristic symp
toms are fatigue and lassitude in
mild esses; cramps in more severe
cases; general convulsions and even
death In rare Instances. But if the
individual takes some salt In the
water or In or on any relish or food,
the salt Is promptly absorbed and
tends to restore osmotic pressure to
normal. Thus the unpleasant effects
of pure water are obviated.
In a similar way, though not so
promptly or effectively, a little sugar
In any form fruit Juice, sweet choc
olate, milk, sweetened tea, candy, ice
cream will give real refreshment
when one Is In a sweat and very
thirsty. Sugar, and in fact all carbo
hydrates (breads, cakes, crackers, cer
eals, potatoes, sweets, noney. canay,
puddings) resemble salt in this re
spect, that is, any excess of them in
the diet tends to hold an excess of
water in the blood and tissues, keep-
Ing the body water-logged, if not ac
tually dropsical or edematous, caus
ing the individual to be as loggy as
he looks. I said excess. Tnta en
of foods, the carbohydrates, should
constitute the chief part of every
body's subsistence. A man doing
bard outdoor work on a well-balanced
diet gets perhaps 400 calories from
proteins, 1400 to 1600 from fats, and
2000 from carbohydrates.
A minimum of half a teaspoonful
of aalt Is required dally to make up
the Inevitable loss. The average per
son takes about a tablespoonful of
salt dally. In such foods as eggs, milk
and meat or added as preservative,
seasoning or condiment. If all salted
Items are excluded from the diet for
a few days there la a loss of four or
five pounds In body weight that
much less water retained In blood and
tissues.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Handicapped Fatlcnts Like It.
The diathermy treatment of my
tonsils was a success. It was blood
less, painless and a great relief to my
rheumatism. The treatment was given
by Dr. and I would gladly
recommend this method of tonsil re
moval to any one. J. P.
Answer In any case where the old
Spanish custom Is too grave a risk
for the patient, diathermy extirpa
tion of the tonsils Is a happy alterna
tivesometimes it seems that the
septic focus is sterilized by the first
few treatments, and thereafter the
systemic condition Improves steadily.
The Coal Disappears.
I am 27 years old, married. I have
craving to chew coal, and I chew
some every day. Is this dangerous.
Mrs. M. L.
Answer No, It Is harmless, but why
not chew Instead some raw carrots
or whatever vegetable you prefer, or
some whole raw wheat as it comes
from the threshing machine? These
are more healthful and should satisfy
the craving.
Child Sucks Blanket.
Two year old daughter has the habit
of sucking her blanket or the sleeve
of her sleepers. I have tried every
thing to break her of It but without
avail . . . Mrs. E. V.
Answer Make a tea of some quas
sia chips, and soak the upper edge
of the blanket or the sleeves of the
sleepers In It, and let dry. The taste
is so bitter that the child will cease
sucking.

credit to supply such needs and that
no criticism of existing organizations
persons will be permitted. All
growers who cannot continue with
out financial aid are expected to at

movement to secure credit "or forever
after hold their peace."
