FOR the next college debate we suggest the question: "Resolved that man is a reasoning animal." And we further nuggest that the bright college debater, wishing to win, choose the negative. For, surveying the world today and particularly that portion of it known as Europe, there is overwhelming evidence that homo sapiens is not a reasoning animal, that he is no better than a sheep that can lie driven over the nearest precipice tJ his destruction, whenever Old Man In a world obsessed by confusion and doubt, there is unanim ity of opinion, in only one direction; namely that another European war is CERTAIN. Ono can't find a competent world affairs, who will question They may differ as to the exact time, but there is no disagree ment as to the eventual certainty of the conflict. And from the North Cape to anting accordingly each and everyone straining night and day to prepare for such a holocaust. , W the munition makers. AVho least no one outside of a few hard shelled militarists, whose opinions have no weight anyway. Why then in the name of common sense are we going to have another warf We don't believe presumably reasoning beings, we are literally tramping over each other in our determination to get it. At least this is the. situation today in Europe. THERE are only two answers to this question: either man is not a reasoning creatre; or homo sapiens in the mass has gone mad which, under conditions which control him, amounts to the same thing. For certainly no reasoning creature having one hand burned by the flame would put his other hand in, if he could help it. Nor would any reasoning creature just recovering from a severe ease of ptomaine, ask the doctor to give him another dish of decayed sausage, so lie might repeat the experience. Yet that fire burns and poison kills, arc no more certain facts, than that modern war, is only another term for self de struction; that it has no-more romance than the lethal chamber, no more glamour than the slaughter house; that it maims and cripples victor and vanquished alike, and that if invoked on any extensive scale today, means have known it. BUT on we go or at least on n nnlinn pnnpni'noil line vtnirl nation concerned, that isn't teetering on the precipice of eco nomic and social disaster BECAUSE of the last war; and yet there they go, marching and counter-marching, manufacturing their fighting planes and poison gas, and getting ready to jump into the next war, at the earliest practical moment. A reasoning creature? There is no reason in it, there is no sense or sanity in it. There is of motivation the instinct of self It is sheer stark madness and tion that fails to perceive this, sary to prevent war, deliberately paying the price (and it's a high price) for peace, probably only deserves what it is bound to another type of civilization The Next War IITHEN the European war United States will have But we don't share the amiable optimism of those who are con vinced this country could never ngain be drawn into a European conflict. Public opinion todav is overwhelmingly against ANY such involvement. But public opinion general war abroad, the strain upon American neutrality would be tremendous. Not only would American munition makers and Big Business, us a whole, wish to. sell to all belligerents, but American farmers would wish to sell wheat, cotton and foodstuffs. Another era of easy war prosperity wxiuld loom, and the desire to share in it would be difficult to resist. But such shipments would be seizure by either side, and each and every seizure would potenti ally, at least, be a threat to the maintenance of peaceful relations. 1 here would be a loud demand for the protection of Ameri can trade, neutral trade but the only way it could be pro tected, would be by calling out the navy, and that of course would be war.

DRINK AND SHOW Every phyaloloRlht, pharmar ologiAt, i phynkian or Bcifmiie authority ! knows that a small done of alcohol j In any form d- I press brain, apl- I nal cord, nerves, circulation, slows down every func tion of the body which can be measured precise ly. If the dose of alcohol li larger it ts nar cotic. In no cir cumstance la al cohol a "stimu lant." Individuals who Indulge In the so cial cocktail like a little drink, not because they have the habit but be cause the narcotic effect of the alco hol makes them feel leas conscious of their constitutional Inferiority for brief time. Sober they naturally wish to avoid making asses of them selves. With a drink or two they don't care how silly they may aeem. they cut loose and "have a good time." The ceremony of mixing drinks, in evidence wherever subnormal people congregate, reminds me of the bad boy who used to show off by light ing a cigarette since he was unable to achieve distinction otherwise. So cial drinking Is the earmark of con stitutional inferiority. The business of preparing and serving the drink relieves the boredom of dull, brain less company, and when the asinine toast has been given and the drink ing started each drinker soon becomes leBS concerned about his own short comings and less observant of oth ers'. That Is alcoholic sociability and good cheer. A long step downward. Modesty, reserve, dignity, good sensi all thinned out or dissolved away. B the time the party has reached that stage It takes little to push the more primitive members over Into maudlin drunkenness. In a normal person an Interval of one-fifth of a ?econd elapses from the Instant an Impression Is received on the retina to the Instant the muscle of arm, hand or foot respond, as In turning steering wheel cr ap plying brake to avoid danger. Let the same person take a pint of beer, a glass of wine, a cocktail or highball, and this Interval, known ns reaction time, invariably lengthen to two fifths, three-lfths, In some Instance four-fifths of a second. An automo NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By 0. 0. Mclntyre NEW YORK, April 17 The Arthur SamueLses have a "roomer" In their Park avenue apartment. A rather dis tinguished roomer In the person of u mil, frana auiuvan Wearied of bach elor h 1 d e-outs. hotels, clubs, etc., he had about da elded to eeek sanctuary In his native Saratoga Springs. The Samuclses Invited him for the week-end be fore hla depar ture. It was near est to pleasant home life he had had In years and he took to It like a kitten to cream. So much so he waa Invited to stay on And on. Conse quently the household la in constant uproar. For instance: Sullivan left a scratch note for Samuels at breakfast saying Jos. Bry an, III. was visiting people in Sara toga and named Whopley or Wham pley. Samuel sent the note on to Bran who was visiting the Whitney. Bryan kidded Sullivan in a telegram and cot this: "Dear Joe I thought everybody knew Samuels was a cad who kisses and tells. I will make him eat his words and make you eat your words and hira eat jour words and you eat his words. And then I'll sit down with you boys and we'll all eat a few words togeth er. AH this talk about eating makes me hunpry Frank. Nonsense such 4 this goes on every day. They had a special menu printed for John Peter Touhey. a pre.s agent, at the Algonquin the other day. Tou hey had been complaining of several Might tilts in the price of favorite dishes. So hla table matea got to gether and ganged him. Cm the aus picious day hla potage was 80 cents formerly 30. His entree $3 35. former- 85c and his dessert in proportion. When he saw his chevX and pushed hla eyes back, he verified It by the trick menu. The revolving door spun five times after his departure.

That physiologically demon strate tjle fact explains why we have such a scandalous death rate from utomoblle accidents. But drink, fool, drink. Everybody does nowadays, or so It seems to such as you. If while your reaction time Is lowered by alcohol you uninten tionally kill or malm somebody, don't let It trouble you too much. There are millions of other fools In the country who wilt contrive to get you out of the Jam one way or another. Even if you have to go Into court. I chances are the Judge likes his and you can get- your own sore on ne Jury. Then If worst comes to worst they'll think, each to himself: "But for the grace of God, this defendant might have been myself, so I must do what I can to save him." Alcohol works that way. If your conscience hurts, soothe it with another drink. If your common sense or judgment deters you, dull it with another Cognac. This Is a free country. Don't let anything get you down except booze. QrKSTIOXR AND ANSWERS Cleanliness and Asepsis What Is the difference between the popular een se of esthetic cleanliness and the aseptic idea? (H. R.) Answer A white enamel surface or a garment or a skin that looks im maculate and shows no visible soiling or grime or dust is esthetlcally clean. but It may have disease germs or the common pus-prodxiclng germs on It so It is not aseptic, not surgically clean, not clean in the sanitary sense. An instrument or dressing or even a tsalve or other remedial agent may be esthetlcallA clean yet not 'sterile. Ht'W.ire Arch Props What Is the best arch support for weak ankles?

The rate of Interest which the bonds wilt pay Is 3 per cent, and as gov ernment obligation bearing this rate are now greatly In demand, such veterans as may desire to convert these securities into cash will find a ready market for them.

None of these certificates were issued enr ller than January 1, 192ft." "The proposed bill will give to the veterans the amount of their ad Justed service credits with Interest compounded from November 11. 1918. Instead of only from 1925. Those veterans who do not desire to cash In their certificates In exchange for these negotiable bonds shall have the option of obtaining the same benefits as carried In the orlelnal art.

"If the bill I have Introduced should become a law. and all vete rans should tske advantage by ex changing their certificates for nego tiable bonds, the additional cost to the aovernment would be approxi mately five hundred million dollars more than It would cost under the orlRinsi act. "While the time at which 'the ma turltv value may be procured will be greatly accelerated, the veterans will have the benefit or retaining the insurance protection until the dat of the maturity value Is reached.

You can imagine what a deep impression this made on Curley and his associates, who came down here to demand action. There was one little thing which may have prevented Governor Curley from telling Messrs. Roosevelt, Roper, et al, what he really thought. He had an appointment the following day with Mr. Ickes to ask for $4,000,000' of PWA money for his state. The energy and scope of the new deal defense campaign Indicates the general program Is not going to be curtailed much without a struggle. The Wallace crowd decided to stand by the cotton program and wilt fight. In all the cabinet speeches there wa not a word to hint at a possible re treat In any important particular. The purpose of the Morgenthau ra dio speech was not apparent unless you read between the lines. The main hidden reason he mad It was to point out officially for the first time that expenditures are run ning $2,000,000,000 behind the esti mates. His secondary purpose was to show there was no reason for the administration to come forward with a new tax plan this session. This should lay a couple of business ghosts. The new dealers are grieving pri vately about the loss of the Ecclea plan in the bank bill.
