War To READING between the lines of the press dispatches and to get any idea of what is really going on in Europe at the present time this must be done, only one thing is making Mussolini hesitate. This is the concentration of ranean. II Duce aoesn t line hold all the piiblic or secret sessions it wishes; draw up all the resolutions it desires; make this fearsome gesture or that; it is all water on a duck's back, as far as the Fascist All-Highest is concerned. But when gestures are followed by deeds, words by concrete action, this is a horse of another color. Instead of ordering a declaration of war, II Duce considers filing a protest with the League on his own account; resume his seat, and gives the once more. rriS situation merely supports the opinion expressed by this newspaper many times in the past, namely: that this world has not yet reached the state of advancement, where war which is an appeal to force, can be prevented by ANYTHING but an appeal to a SUPERIOR force. "We can talk all we wish dilate as we desire about world of same, regarding the militant Such a force is a factor, but a said and done, in the final analysis, 'whether it is to be war or peace depends, upon which is are the heavier battalions. TTOE League of Nations idea is unquestionably the right idea. It is the only hope of outlawing war as a medium of inter national settlement. But until the League has army and navy to enforce its the League, are willing to pool FORCE a nation with militaristic designs to abandon them, this effort to make this world a warless one, is a hopeless one. The League was powerless Manchuria because it refused to it is making real progress in its and conquest of Ethiopia merely aggressive and courageous action, with direct action. Neither moral precepts, nor II Duce pause, but those British dreadnaughts, battle cruisers, and airplane carriers, hovering about the Suez canal and ready to advance from Malta and Gibraltar, full steam ahead, into the Mediterranean ARE. The time may come say 1000 years hence, when war by mutual consent will be outlawed by civilization, as human slavery has been outlawed. But far ahead of its present status, only a willingness to FIGHT for world peace whenever it is threatened will MAINTAIN it. Another Huey Long? r0WN in Louisiana, Huey Long's followers are fighting for control of the Long machine. It. will be dog eat dog to see who takes over the sceptre of authority, and continues the divide-the-wealth campaign. In such a free-for-all it's a safe wager the WORST man will win. Tne most ruthless, the windbag, will have a decided edge But whoever wins, there will can the Long machine be kept intact for any length of time. It just isn't in the cards. Only one Huey Long for this gen But how about the next generation! Yes there may be a Huey Long then a man as powerful, as unusual, as menacing as he But we doubt if he ever gets as far as the Louisiana Kingfish did. For the next generation iu this country certainly SHOULD be wiser and more discerning than this one. And in the last analysis Long's amazing power, went directly to a fundamental weakness in this democracy of ours the inability to fill our nation or at least the state of Louisiana with a citizenship that could see through a man like Long, and resist his machinations. Yes, in the last analysis the Huey Long menace came down to that. And it will continue to be a menace, potentially at least, until through education on one hand, the elimination of abusos and inequalities on the other, democracy creates within itself, a DEFENSE against the table thumping demagogue and trouble maker of the Long stamp. This generation, by and large failed to perfect such a defense. Wo are sufficiently optimistic to believe, the next generation will if not a perfect defense, at least a defense that will make Huey the First also the last of his line.

He iTjisjtfiiji'w-1 ' has . habit of skipping) school rather often. He went to our n e 1 g n b o rhood school for four years and had no trouble. But since we were forced to go on relief everything Is wrong. The teachers have constantly threatened the boy, the principal also, telling him they would send the yellow slip that would take htm to the parental school, and finally last spring they did send him to school. I think most of the boys there are colored. There the teachers threaten him with the parental school or an other they call the 1 Insti tution, i John (let us call him) is scared to death of a whipping. If he la told he Is to get one he will run away and stay out of school for three or four day. At this school, an eleven-month school, Just before vacation one of the men teachers told him he was doomed when vacation took up. so John left Monday, as I supposed for school, but he hasn't returned. His life Is a constant dread of what will happen next. . If people could only treat him kindly instead of treating him like a criminal, if he glvea an excuse for hla absence they tell him they don't believe it, . I truly believe that teachers should never threaten a boy or mistrust him. I have four children, three in school, and the teachers never pick on the other two. John Is only 11 years old. snd every body says he Is smart, but he la the most unlucky boy I ever saw. Can you give me any sort of advice on how to handle this problem to save the boy? I fear he Is liable to be sent to the parental school when school takes up again this month. (Mrs. .....) If John's parents were well to do. no one would threaten the boy in school. Instead teachers and principal would regard him as a challenge to their art and set about the peda- j goglc art of getting the boy Interested so that he would feel some Incentive I let them atay there?

If she can't pay tha mental specialist's fee, then per haps there la a free clinic In her city where expert guidance will be given. The local health department would direct her to such a clinic. The case brings back tha good old days when I skipped school. Why did I skip? Partly, I think, for the same reason John skips to get away from certain harsh teachers; and partly, I suppose, because of a boyish Inferior ity complex. The habit stuck, too. I've skipped school more or less all my life. The main difference be tween John and me is that I lived In a village, and John lives in a great city. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Reaction Time As a motorist anxious to do my part in decreasing traffic accidents. 1 ask whether you know of any way to develop thinking and shorten re action time. I believe it is called speeding up the reflexes. Answer No. Alcohol and various drugs slow the reaction time and that explains many accidents which normal reflex action would prevent. But there is no known way to speed up reaction time. Cultivating general health and fitness keeps the reflexes in the best condRlon.

(AP) Refus ing to take Italy's 'no' today as a final rejection of peace offers, the wheat market responded with a moderate downturn of prices. Cautiousness in regard to possible surprise developments In Europe over Sunday ruled dealings, especially as trade drew to an end.

(AP) The stock market awung back to a rela tively even keel in the short trading session today. There was little buying In the rail shares and a few specialties, while other classifications were narrowly irregular. Newa that the Italian cabinet had rejected the Lesgue of Nations pro posals In regard to the Ethiopian dispute appeared to leave the mar ket unmoved. It wai thought In some quarters that peace prospects appeared to ,have been aided by the fact that another meeting of the Italian cabi net was scheduled for Tuesday, thus leaving a loophole for further nego tiations.

State control of water power sites Leading Physicians, Physicists, Oculists and Optometrists oppose the use of "Drops" in Examination of Eyes. By OREGON STATE ASSOCIATION of OPTOMETRISTS Confusion In the layman's mind as to the relative merits of using "DROPS" In the examination of eyes in not to be wondered at. State ments have been made In the public print attempting to excuse the use of "DROPS" In eye examinations because only the physicians are permitted to use them. Optometrists do not require "DROPS' In their examinations and their reasons are sound and scientific. The largest percentage of eye defects are due to physiologic disfunc tions or "refractive errors." To ascertain how the functioning of these !ye? may be corrected or refraction made normal, eyes must be examined In their normal state. Mydriatics (or drops) dilate the pupil of the eye so that light enters through a wider aperture than when the eye Is normal. Eye muscles are paralyzed by drugs. Eyes that are not In their natural condition, due to the use of drugs, are not functioning properly and the powers of accommodation (to adapt or chance focus) cannot he measured; only guessed at. Also the sympathetic nervo system Is Interfered with throughout the entire body. It would seem' ridiculous to Judge the possibilities of a race horse with his four feet staked to the ground. He must be timed under actual working conditions to learn his speed and endurance. The Optometrist uses scientific Instruments to observe natural reactions In live, living eyes not Interfered with by drops. From his findings he determines what combinations of lens curvatures will relieve or correct the refractive error. "DROPS" HAVE ' NO PLACE IN SUCH A PROCEDURE. OPTOMETRY, pronounced op-tom'e-try, comes from the Greek "Opto," the eye, and "Metro, to measure. Op tome troy embodies the study of physics, mathematics, anatomy, physiology, the nervous sys tem, recognition of eye diseases and the adapting of lenses or prisms In frames or mountings to aid defective or falling vision, and orthoptic exercises, without the use of drugs or surgery. Optometry Is a recognized profession, stringently regulated by laws In every state In the Union, Its territories and Canada, Admission to practice Is preceded, by a rigid state board examination. From two to four years of college study Is required In an accredited college in Optometry plus a high school diploma. The physician may become an "eye specialist" following the granting of his license as a practlcfTTS physician without any preliminary training or examination whatever. The field of the oculist (or ophthalmologist) is In treating DISEASES of the eye and surgery. . The Optometrist's work Is CORRECTING VISUAL DEFECTS through the aid of lenses or muscular training exer cises. To quote some of the foremost International ophthalmologists, who are admitted to have ability In the Science of Refraction: L. K. lllrschberg, M.D., Johns Hopkins University, said: "Eyes can be examined much more satisfactorily without drops. Many failures by the best oculists are attributed to the use of Atropla rind Beliadona drops." George Lindsay .John -on. M.D., F.F.C.S., Eng.. F.R.S.R., Berlin, F.R.S., Italy, a world wide recognized authority ou Ophthalmology, said: "We ophthalmic surgeons are living In a fool's paradise. We think we know ail that there Is to learn about the refraction of the ee and action of Its muscles, but, as a matter of fact, we know so little compared with what Is already known by Optometrists that It amounts to practically nothing beyond the elements which Donders taunlit. Dr. E. A. Spttzka, Profest-or of Anatomy In Jefferson Medical College, a recognized authority on anatomy, neurology, and brain disease, the reviser of the latest edition of "Gray's Anatomy," pays this tribute to Optometry: "Wheti an Individual's vision becomes Impaired, I would rather hare him go to an Optometrist. As nn active specialist In this field he acquires a special aptitude for the manipulation of Instru ments and the recognition of every abnormality which only a few medical practitioners can enjoy. In the majority of cases only cor recting glasses are needed. In the small minority, in which a diseased condition exists, the Optometrist can be relied upon to recognize the patholoElc state and tend the patient to a suitable medical practitioner. I fall to see where there should be any conflict between Optometry and Medicine." Profesor Charles Sheard. Physicist of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester. Minn., said: "The use of drops must be abandoned by all In view of the vastly superior mechanical means at hand. The Increase of the Iris ill a pi i ram in front of the lens in the eye. hose constants we wish to determine, only Increases our uncertainty when drops are used."
