Lawrence of Arabia
SO "Lawrence of Arabia" is dead! The most gallant, appeal
ing and romantic figure of the world war, in fact from an
historical standpoint the ONLY one, panned quietly into the
final sleep, in a little Dorsetshire village Sunday morning, at
the age of 46.
The young man, who only a few years out of college, arose
to be the uncrowned king of Arabia, who with a price of $50,000
on his head, dead or alive, eluded after scores of hair-breadth
escapes, every attempt at capture, and so out-guessed and out
generaled the wily Turk that through his single-handed efforts
he held Mesopotamia for the allies, until peace was signed, suc
succumbed at last to a petty motorcycle accident, which occur
red on an English country lane, a week ago today.
TO those searching for the fitting and the dramatic, what an
anti climax! What a needless and trivial close to a career,
that was almost Homeric in its heroic proportions, and in sheer
mystery, suspense and excitement, would make the average
Hollywood thriller, look like amateur night, under the auspices
of the Shilling Shocker League.
And yet when one looks into the details of that motorcycle
crash a bit and particularly into the true character of its victim,
the final act in the Lawrence drama, does not seem so ironical
and inappropriate after all.
FOR Lawrence died that some unknown English lad on a
bicycle might live. It was his life or the boy's life, and it
was entirely characteristic of Lawrence of Arabia, that in that
split-second allowed for decision, there was no hesitancy, the
sacrifice was to be HIS.
So he died as one feels sure he would have wished to die,
for OTIIERS, and in what one might term a rather simple,
umlramatie, homey fashion. For he was at heart the most
modest, unassuming, self effacing of men. That quality of shy
ness so characteristic of the well bred Britisher (and so often
misunderstood), was with him almost an ailment. He hated
pomp and panoply of war or the loud acclaim and publicity
of peace, he was at heart a scholar rather than a warrior, a
man or research and contemplation rather than a man of action.
It was devotion to his country, and his love for Arabia and its
people, rather than any militaristic urge for conquest or will
to power, that a combination of circumstances finally made him
the outstanding hero of the British campaign in the Far East.
THERE is another element in this abrupt and tragic close of
thp T.nvcrpna antra tn Iia AAnairlrifi
In commenting uron his death Mr. Winston Churchill ex
presses keen regret that Lawrence
he might have aided Jiis country
order out of chaos and restore
harassed and suffering peoples of
A natural sentiment to express, and yet we doubt if Law
rence would have EVER been useful in the sort of reconstruction
that Britishers of the Churchill type envision, and for which
they are so stubbornly striving.
A gentleman and a scholar, Lawrence was also an incor
rigible idealist. He fitted the romantic up-hill crusading role
against the "unspeakable" Turk perfectly; he fitted no role
played by the diplomats in the Treaty of Versailles, and he has
never fitted into the post war psychology since. Then, too,
probably only so much drama and action can be crowded into
one lifetime, and Lawrence, in ten years really lived more than
the average man does in three score and ten. The play with
him, in all likelihood, as far as the world stage is concerned,
WAS played out.
AOliEOVER, as perhaps few people realize, Lawrence of
Arabia, was a disillusioned man, and .perhaps beneath his
quiet, calm exterior, was even an embittered one.
His campaign in Arabia had been based upon freedom and
self government for the Arabs; this was implicit in everything
lie did and said. It was not only the ideal he held out to the
natives, it was the ideal he held before himself all the time.
Then suddenly came victory, reaction, the sordid gathering
of the stuffed shirts and the spoilsmen, and Lawrence and the
Arabs, were not only disregarded, but in the end betrayed.
It was this betrayal, rather than his extreme and proverbial
modesty, which led Lawrence to refuse the honors which Great
Britain and France were so willing to bestow. He wanted none
of them. He wanted no more active part in a world suddenly
gone so false and so sordid. He changed his name to Shaw,
entered the flying corps, and when this service neared a close,
resumed his translation of the classics and rode about the coun
tryside on his motorcycle, a lone, solitary, but never a pathetic
figure. No, pathos was not a Lawrence note, rather was it, a
quiet dignity an unassuming but certain grandeur.
A man true to himself he could be false to no one, so forget
ful of self, that when he suddenly met death coming around the
turn of the villase road, he didn't duck or dodge or squirm, he
met it, he welcomed it, "for greater love hath no man than
this,"
So for Lawrence of Arabia, we should say, as long aa his time
had come a very fitting aud proper way to go. A hero of peace,
as well as of war, the "White Knight" without fear and without
reproach, to the end !

SUGAR AND
la It true, asks a reader, that
whlta Bugar destroys or uses up
the calcium In our systems? If this
Is so. why does
the, refined sug
ar do this more
than raw sugar?
From my dlet
consclous friends
I hear that It Is
the chem 1 c a 1 s
used to bleach
the sugar that
make It harm
Tul. On the
other han d a
fine old friend
who was with a
sugar leimery lor many years
claims there Is positively nothing
but water used to centrifugal. ze
the raw sugar, and that the only
difference between raw and refined
white sugar la that all the Impur
ities are washed out of the latter
so why eat raw sugar? (Mrs. R. B.)
Impurities? Impurities contribut
ed by nature? In sugar manufac
ture all substances other than
sucrose and water are spoken of as
"Impurities." and the coefficient or
purity means the percentage ot
sucrose merely, not the presence
or sbsence of undesirable or harm
ful substances. Bo your friend who
was with the refinery probably uses
the term "Impurities" In that sense
Raw sugar, the old fashioned
brown sugar, not easy to find now
adays, contained some calcium, and
refined white sugar contains prac
tically or absolutely none. But the
amount of calcium In even sugar
cane or a sugar beet Is Insignificant
In everyday nutrition, for so many
ordinary foods contain plenty of
calcium, notably milk. eggs, cheese,
beans, peas, carrot, cabbage, nuts,
peanuts, lettuce, salad greens.
Perhaps your Idea that white
sugar destroys or uses up calcium
In the system comes from the com
mon observation that children whose
diet Includes an excess of sugar
and of carbohydrates as In pre-1
pared cereals, are likely to have
poor teeth, and Infants fed un
sweetened milk or milk modified
with cereal preparations are likely
to have rickets. But this does not
mean that sugar or starch uses up
the calcium In the system. It means
rather that when the appetite is
sstlslled with such carbohydrate the
child does not demand and does
not get more substantial foods
which not only contain the calcium
the body needs but carry the vita
mins which are essential for normal
assimilation and utilization of cal
cium In the development and growth
of teeth, bones, and Indeed of all
the tissues and organs.
There la another observation

Answer What you think are
"pores" are In reality the relaxed
or dilated orifices of the sweat snd
oil gland ducts. Nothing can enter
the body or pssa In through the
skin by way of these openings. They
are the outlets for sweat and sebum

Iron and 22 mlllgrams of copper
In a pound. Can you tell me how
much iron and copper In a pound
of beef liver or a pound of pork
liver? (S. M. I.)
Answer Beef liver contains about
half as much copper and half as
much Iron as calf's liver. Beef, lean
muscle part, contains some copper,
about 1 part In a million. Pork
liver contains a little less copper
and less Iron than beef liver, pig
liver containing more than the liver
of full grown hog. Sherman says
calf's liver contains 40 milligrams
of copper In the pound.

Comment
on the "
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
SIGNIFICANT political headline:
"Bonus Goes to White House."
The president baa said he will
veto the bonus. If he does. It will
then be up to congress either to
pass the bonus bill over the pres
ident's veto, or to let It die. Votes
will be gained or lost by whatever
Is done.
That la why the headline Is sig
nificant. IF THE President vetoes the bill,
as he has said he will, It will
go back to the senate. The senate
must then either pass It over the
veto (which tskes a two-thirds
vote) or fell to mxister votes enough
to pass it.
If the senate passes the bonus
bill over the veto. It must take
the responsibility for paying the
bonus, Including the fact that It
Is to be paid with printing press
money.
In other words. It will be the
Judgment of the senate that more
votes are to be gained by paying
the bonus than by refusing to pay it,
BUT If the senate falls to pass
the bill over the presidents
veto, it will mean that the senate
thinks more votes are to be LOST
than gained by paying the bonus.
That Is about the long and the
short of it.
S.
FAR as most of the senators
are concerned especially those
who will have to go on the firing
line at the next election the right
or wrong of the bonus doesn't en
ter very much Into the situation.
FORMER President Hoover, speak
ing at his home In Palo Alto,
Indicts NRA as "saddling the Amer
ican people with their worst era of
monopolies."
Those are strong words. If Theo
dore Roosevelt were still here, ana
believed them to be true, he would
get out his big stick and go after
the monopolies agali;, aa he did
once before.
ARE Mr. Hoover s words true?
It is too soon as yet to get an
accurate answer. NRA Is too near
to us to be Judged correctly. It
will require the perspective of years
to get a calm and unprejudiced
answer.
B
UT this fact stands out:
NRA says: "Raise wages, then
raise prices enough to cover the
added cost." It also says, more or
less In a whisper: "Then discourage
newcomers from getting Into busi
ness and playing hob with the old
timers who have raised prices to
cover the added cost of NRA."
That's fine for those who are al
ready In business, but It DOES
smack of monopoly.

But the senate dizzily paased tha
NRA bill In three mlnutea Instead
of three week. It had nothing to
do except to consider the Wagner
bill. And once It was considered,
It could not be stopped. While there
la much undercover opposition to It,

As a result of the senate's action,
prospecta of the Wagner bill are
reversed. The underlying situation
ln the house Is the same aa In
the senate. If the bill geta to a
vote. It will go through whooping.
Furthermore. It occupies auch a pre
ferred status aa a result of prema
ture senatorial action that the op
position probably cannot keep It
from a vote. Mr. Roosevelt will sign
It. At least two labor leaders are
privately quoting the president as
having said he would.

Its greatest opportunity for union
ization. Close observers have wondered why
the Republicans put up no greater
show of resistance against the lateat
new deallah movea ln the aenate
(the TV A strengthening amend
menta. NRA and the Wagner bill).
They talked a little, but made no
real fight.
Privately, the Republican leaders
will tell you they saw no reason to
waste their breath. They knew that
nothing their slim minority could
say or do would make any differ
ence. The fine art of business appears
to have been developed amazingly
by a certain southern shirt factory
la email one). In the first place. It
borrowed money from a govern
mental agency to build a plant or
addition. Then It borrowed govern
ment girls from a nearby vocational
school conducted by tha Interior de
partment. As apprentices, these girls
were not to receive the code wage
for the first six weeks, so the fac
tory staggered Its vocational ap
prentices tn six-week shifts.
Thus. It produced ahlrta for cheap
apprentice wages. Thus, ln a way,
the government furnished the chla
ela for the chiseling. That Is, It did
until the government recently found
