finds anything surprising or sensational in the "Neutrality
measure", just passed by congress.
Tet for those whose memories can go back 15 years, it repre
sents one of the most complete
history of the country.
Less than two decades ago, neutrality was a synonym for
treason. Those who dared question the wisdom of expending
our blood and treasure to save
crush Prussian militarism, were
Internationalism, if not a
first cousin. Shipping gold, guns and munitions to one side in
the European holocaust; withholding them from the other, was
generally accepted as not only
moral duty. Such action was not
war", it was the first step in a holy and super righteous crusade
to make the world safe for democracy.
OUT now what do we findt
- For this country to waver,
NEUTRALITY in case of a foreign war, is made a crime. Even
the greatly reveered constitution is disregarded, in spirit, if
NOT in letter.
For in case of war, the constitution declares the president
of the United States shall be commander-in-chief of the army
and navy; and in time of peace, should have control over the
country's international affairs.
But this neutrality measure takes the latter power from the
chief executive at least until the first of March 1936. For all
arms shipments are to be banned absolutely during this period.
ITALY may invade Ethiopia. The people of the latter nation
may appeal to the civilized world for protection,' it might de
velop that without guns and ammunition which only America
could supply, an entire nation might be wiped out of existence,
BUT, under this new law,
It might be in his opinion, not
necessitated by the international
interest, but his hands would be
This law could also prevent
on foreign ships, forbid American ships to carry Munitions of
war, or men even to belligerent ships at sea; in other words
could force this country in case of this Italian war or any other
foreign war, to keep out entirely, remain aloof completely,
regardless of how subsequent developments might jeopardize
national honor or security.
IN our opinion, this is just another "fool law," but we are not
interested so much in the propriety or impropriety of this leg
islation, as in the extraordinary reversal of policy and national
temper, it represents.
Moreover, we do not question that this policy of absolute
neutrality is as generally acceptable to the people of this coun
try TODAY; as the flat refusal to consider neutrality was a
decade and a half ago.
Only another demonstration of how we Araerioans dote on
extremes, going entirely too far in one direction, and then try
ing to regain our equilibrum by going entirely too far in another 1

was a little over two years ago!
Look up the files of any newspaper and you will find an
indignation meeting was held in the fair state of Iowa. The
homey handed sons of toil were ready to inarch on Wall Street,
and the Chicago wheat pit with pitchforks extended, and de
mand they be given something better thap penury and starva
tion for their labor. There was also a disposition to take any
bloated bond holder or interested banker who tried to foreclose
a farm mortgage for a ride.
Here was the nature of the agrarian complaint. How can a
farmer north, south, east, or west live when :
Wheat is selling at 40 cents a bushel.
Steers at $3 per cwt.
Hogs at $2.94.
Butter at 18 cents.
Cheese at 12 cents.
Cotton at five cents.
Tobacco at $10, etc., etc.
, Don't you remember t
What would have happened at that time if someone had
ascended the rostrum and announced that in another 24 mo-uns:
Wheat would be selling at 90 cents.
Steers at $12.
Hogs at $9.
Butter at 29 cents.
Cheese at 17 cents.
Cotton at 12 cents.
Tobacco at $23.

THERE'S A LOT OF ENDURANCE, VIGOR AND SATISFACTION IN
JL'ST PLAIN' WHEAT
,1 recently obtained some very fine
hard Minnesota wheat, writes a New
York man, I have been eating that
wheat during the
past week.
large bowl with
certified milk for
breakfast, and
another similar
bowl with fruit
for lunch. It has
filled me with
pep. For several
years I have been
driving a car ev
erywhere and
had for g o 1 1 e n
how to walk.
Sola tne cur recently, and have been
walking across Brooklyn bridge to
my office down town. Twice a day
tired me. But since eating wheat I
find I can walk it four times a day
when circumstances permit and feel
fine.
Chicago reader writes: I was born
and reared In Lancashire, England,
by an old fashioned mother who gave
us dally rations of wheat or barley,
which was allowed to soak In hot
milk, not boiled. For years I have
been a strict vegetarian . . . and at
55 I am the wonder of the neigh
borhood where I live, as I go bare
headed and In shirt-sleeves winter
and summer, without suffering any
or tne dire consequences most peO'
pie predict. Out on a farm last year
I proved to two young fellows of 33
and 28 years that I could do a harder
forenoon's work on a basin of wheat
than they could do with their bacon
and eggs, and still be fresh when
they showed visible signs of being
fagged. ...
Before we had learned much about
the lunctiona of the vitamins, Hlnd
hede, famous Scandinavian physiolo
gist, studied the effects on two men
of a diet of whole wheat bread and
oleomargarine. The men lived on this
for 361 days, except during Christ
mas and Whitsuntide vacations of
22 and 15 days when vegetables were
added, and a period of 18 days when
they had aJso strawberries and milk.
The men worked part of the time
In the garden, part of the time In
the laboratory. They enjoyed good
digestion, felt well and vigorous, and
showed a positive protein . balance
practically throughout the period of
observation.
Then when Hlndhede changed the
diet from whole wheat bread to re
fined white bread, the men lost
strength an energy rapidly, had con
stipation, headaches, dizziness and
other complaints, and Hlndhede con-,
eluded that the difference lay in the
bran in the whole wheat the bran
contains protein of high biologic
value to supplement the Inferior pro
tein of the kernel which Is in the,
refined white flour. Hlndhede found
that bran Is digested by man as I
present a full repair bill (and pay for
that, too).
Now If he falls to pay I will have
to bring action In Colueman's court;
I will have to prove that this man
was entirely at fault and prove the
damage; then I will be given a "Judg
ment" against him which will be no
earthly good as the man has nothing
and Coleman will take all his ready
cash for court costs.
Seema to me the Joke Is entirely
on me.
why couldn't It be made a part of
the 'Tine' for the guilty party to
have to take care of the repair bill
also, and for him to remain under
technical arrest subject to being
locked up as long as the bill remain
ed unpaid, or any other way that
would give the actual Injured party
Justice?

From WILL ROGERS
(Continued from t-age One)
famous short stories, by that same
name. a
I waa playing that summer In the
Follies, and they got the "nut" idea
that I could play the part. We made
It while I was working In the show.
It waa made at the old Ft. Lee
Studios, In New Jersey Just across the
river from New York City. They used
to make an awful lot of pictures
there.
It was made for Mr. Sam Ooldwyn,
who haa all these yeara remained ;
the famous producer. With producers
coming and going, and changing, he 1
haa held hla own right at the top. i
He was my first picture bow, and we :
have remained friends all theee years, j
a rare combination.
I learned what little I know about
mining, which Is practically nothing,
from that picture we made. Rex
supervised the picture, and he made
'em make all the details aa to the
actual mining scenes, exactly correct,
"Sluice Boxes" and "Panning" the
gold. Then Rex wrote all the sub- :
titles, and they were "Wows."
I went to the barber and got a hair
cut right In the middle of the picture
and like to spoiled It. I didn't know
what 1 was doing, (and here I was
going In one door with long hair, and
coming out with a hair cut). They
all like to had a fit. I think yet It
was the best picture I ever made, for
I hadn't learned ts try to act. There
ain't nothing worse than an actor
when we act.
I have always had a great respect
and friendship for Rex and Mrs.
Beach. Rex is an unusual man. out
side all this writing. He Is an author
ity on a lot of things. He haa a
lovely home near Sebrlng. Florida,
and went to work and cleared a lot
of swamp lake land and started rais
ing celery on a real scientific prin
ciple. He ships It to New York and
it a renl Oonl Ude going concern.

thoroughly as It Is by domestic ani
mals. In this latter observation he
flies In the face of the theoretical
experts In this country who opine,
without any evidence to support the
notion, that bran Is Just so much
foreign matter and can't be digested
by man.
But Hlndhede's explanation of the
superior value of whole wheat Is
scarcely sufficient today. From the
newer knowledge of nutrition we are
warranted In ascribing the superior
value of whole wheat at least In
large measure to the vitamins nat
urally present In wheat, vitamins
which, along with most of the cal
cium and phosphorus and Iron, are
removed by milling and refining and
discarded.
N I am not going to provide any
symptoms here, but I wish to say that
I believe it will be a bad day for the
nostrum business and a great day
for America when people return to
just plain wheat.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Casein
We bought some wallpaper from
mall order house. Noticed an odor
while the paper was being put on
ine odor did not wear away. We
wrote the firm, and they replied that
the odor Iff from casein used in the
paper to set the color. They said It
would wear away in time. Is It harm
ful? What Is casein? (Miss C. E. T.)
Answer It is harmless. Casein is
the curd of milk. The curd of sour
milk Is called acid casein and Is used
In coating paper and in printing
wallpaper and various fabrics.
Irradiation for Fibroid
Five years ago I asked if you ad
vised X-ray and radium for fibroid
tumor. On your advice I took the
treatment and it was perfectly suc
cessful, no 111 affects, now feel as If
nothing ever was wrong. (Mrs. B. O.)
Answer X-ray or radium treat
ment has proved adequate In a great
many such cases. Fibroid tumor
(doctors call It myoma). Is not malig
nant tn Itself and may never cause
any serious trouble, .-whether it is
diagnosed or not.
What, Another Doctor Book?
My son derived great benefit from
your Iron ration, my husband and I
take a regular "nip" of lodln, and
my husband has been cured of his
weekly headaches with calcium lac
tate . . . You should combine alt
your booklets In one big book we
need It In our homes . . . (Mrs. A. W.

Answer I may do Just that one
day and come round peddling It
myself.

By FRANK JENKINS
A DISPATCH from Addla Ababa,
Ethiopian capital says:
"Weeping aa he talked, Emperor
Halle Selassie predicted to the Asso
ciated Press today, in an interview,
that war between Italy and Ethiopia
would not only drench the two coun
tries tn blood but would drag In the
WHOLE WORLD."
It won't drag in the United States
unless there are more nlt-wtta in this
country than now seems possible.
STRANGEST accident of the year:
A 20 -months-old baby In Sal
mon, Idaho, lying In Its crib, tugged
at some clothing hanging on a nail
in the wall. Under the clothing was
a rifle, hanging by the trigger guard
from the nail.
The tugging discharged the rifle,
and the bullet struck the baby's 20-year-old
mother, killing her instant-

STRANGE and unusual aocldent.

been hung up LOADED.
Eternal vigilance ts the price of
safety where firearms are concerned.
FIREARMS kill.
For that reason, many sincere
people believe that ownership of cer
tain kinds of firearms, notably pis
tols, should be forbidden. -
This writer, who deplores killings
as much aa anybody, can't agree with
that contention. Forbidding owner
ship of pistols. If It worked at all
would work only with Kw-abldlng
citizens and NOT with criminals, who
would find some way to get posses
sion of the forbidden weapons.
Thus criminals would be armed and
law-abiding citizens wouldn't. That
could hardly be called smart.
FIREARMS kill. But so do automo
biles. In the average year, ac
cidental deaths caused by automo
biles far exceed accidental, or other,
deaths caused by firearms.
.We'd hardly consider forbidding
ownership of automobiles because
deaths result from them.
IN both cases, CARELESSNESS ts the
chief cause of fatal accidents.
What we really need la less careless
ness. FORBIDDING ownership of pistols
doesn't seem to this writer the
thing to do. But a pistol la about as
useless as anything that can be own
ed. For every tune it provides needed
protection for its owner, there will
be a HUNDRED times when It will
get him Into trouble.
