A PINE DISTINCTION. (Rugene Morning News) "Blrd-catchlng cats, like sheep kllllng dogs, are very rare. Con trary to general opinion, a welt fed cat makea the best hunter. Like a well-fed banker, he hunts for sport, not from hunger, and It Is no more sickening to see a eat play with a mouse before eat ing It than to see the aforesaid banker play with a fish before gaffing It."

CAUSE AND TREATMENT OF WEAK ANKLES Alt ho statistic ara not art Habit, I have the dlatlnct Impmalon that weak ankle (pronated feet) are leas common among children from alx to lxteen year old today than they ware when I waa an boneit gener al practitioner or , aa honest aa ona could be and live. In the days before nudity It waa rare to aee a group of aehool children among whom there were none with weak anklea. Today one often ob serves groups of children all of whom have no apparent ankle weakness. There are two reasons for thU. First, children today are getting more or leas physical education In school, too often they get It In apite of tha complacency of short-sighted parents who permit children to evade phys ical training classes on one pretext or another. Second, children are getting mora sunlight on naked akin, thanks to the Increasing popularity of nu dity or a minimum of clothing. Pronated feet, doctors call the con dition more familiar to the laity aa 'weak ankles." Formerly It waa known aa static valgua and weak feet. The shoe wear out on the Inner edge, es pecially the Inner edge of the heel. In walking the gait la a heel gait, Inelastic and clumsy. Children may not complain of pain, but adulta gen erally have considerable pain or ache In the feet and lega and their feet tire when they have to stand much. The shoos should be built up nearly one-fourth Inch along the Inner edge of heel and sole. Or Insoles thicker along the Inner edge may be worn Inside the ahoea. We cannot describe proper ahoea here. We will send a monograph to any reader who asks for It and enclose stamped envelope bearing hts address.

These exercises ahould be jone reg NEW TORK, May 11 Irving Ber lin's hit tune, "Slumming on Park Avenue," with lta Implication of grandeur, haa done much to advertise tha fs moua thorough -far. Information clerks at termi nals and hotels say It Is the moat asked about street of the mo ment. Strangers want to say they have seen It, In other years the fashionable avenue waa Firth. People who are "add rest conscious" have in late years moved almost en masse from Fifth to Park. The building of the Waldorf and the Rita Tower on Park avenue was also a big boon to de luxe tenantry. Just now Park Is luxuriating In a ripple of new one-storied shop. Many tall building have been torn down and replaced by modernistic Taj Mnhala which house florists, per fume shona and dealer in rare Jew ela. The low buildings, of course, reduce taxes enormously. The exclusive atrip of Park avenue extends from 46th street to the 100'dA and then goes Into a sudden droop and eventually trails off Into depressing slums, orlss-croased with the fire escapes hung with wet waah.

Twenty minutes later he appeared at the curb In a buslnaaa suit. A splendorous limousine drew up and glancing hurriedly up at a certain window he purred away. In dead, there 1 much drama at night from a window chair in New Tork. About eight rears ago I got up to raise a window one hot aummer morning near dawn. At a hotel eater- cornered I saw something that fairly froee my blood. Fifteen stories up a pajama clad figure had climbed out to a ledge, stood wavering a few sickening seconds and plunged to the sidewalk below. It is rather astonishing too how quickly a crowd congeals In a deso lated New York street when visited by acctdrnt or tragedy at night. SUcti disasters bring out strange human specimens suRReallng those while wriRttly things under old rocks never seen savt in such exigencies. Also one might believe there Is a news phttogra;her on every corner for they are often there before police.

Tears ago we thought lack of Iron might be a factor of weak feet. Per haps It la In some Instances. But from newer knowledge of nutrition and considerable experience we now be Hove the principal underlying cause Is lack of vitamin D. In addition to proper footwear, corrective postur and systematic exercise, a dally ra tion of three to five thousand units of vitamin D seems to promote most rapid recovery from this structural, developmental deficiency.

Kin Hubbard once observed there were only two things at which one may politely point Florida real ae tata and French pastry. Which la re mindful of the upshoot In popularity of French pastry In the past few years. It la now one of the most asked -for desserts In the totsy res taurants. And there are artistic crea tions to delight the eye and tastes to please all palates. I am told that the most highly paid cooking artists are those who design the French pastry. It la another one of the arts In which we have beaten France at her own game. Sartorial slant: One of the social gossip writers reporta that the only male diner not in evening dress the Colony recently was Qeorge Jean Nathan. Incidentally, the Colony, snug and snooty, now ha a change In preferred table positions. Former ly "e elect were seated only In the small front room. That Is true today at the luncheon hour, but for din ner the favored are seated In the back room and away from staring hoi polloi. I am flattered by this gracious note from the distinguished novelist, El len Glasgow: "I have read your let ter to "Mily through a njlst of sym pathy. Tou have said what I feel for my Jeremy, a Sealyham, Just eight yeara and four months old when he died. But do not say to 'Billy in Dog Heaven.' Rather to 'Billy in the Heaven of Loyal Hearts." which, like the Heaven of Jurgen's grandmother, must smell, I fancy, of mignonette and perhapa spring In the woods." (Copyright. 1037. McNaught Syndicate, Inc.) (Continued from rage Ona ) to bark, but cannot afford to bit. The moat serious thing that has happened to them la the swiftly de veloped superiority of the Russian air force. Oeneral staffs in Berlin and Toklo are said to stand In awe of It at present, which may account for the lack of belligerent news from both capitals lately. What may come of It all in the end Is not the most obvious thing war, but the thing now considered least possible, disarmament. If Brit ain get herself into a position to force peace, disarmament will again become a popular subject. Thus, the crary cycle of events may yet end et the beginning. The Spanish war really showed the experts as many deflclenclee a ad vances In the art of war. It proved no effective new weapon of death hare been developed since the World wsr, but tmuendoua stride have been made In Improving the old ones. For Instance, It baa become evident tn recent Spanish fighting that the French have developed an automatic rifle for infantrymen. The gun la be lieved to be somewhat on the pattern of a new rifle Just Introduced In the American army. The recoil haa been reduced so that a aoldter can shoot the eight bullets without changing his sight, or shifting the bolt to re load. The new French gun la a JO caliber and apparently la a very recent In vention, aa It la not yet In standard use. Anti-aircraft weapons have been greatly developed. The Oermans had the moat effective ones In Spain, but the real secret of their effectiveness seemed to be that they were manned by experienced Oermans. Spanish loyalist are using French guns, which probably are nearly aa efficient, but their weapons were not so well han dled. It la estimated that about 80 per cent of all alrplanea brought down by the rebel were ahot down by anti-aircraft guns. Thl probably la a high tribute to the Russians who were flying for the loyalist. The most efficient Russian plane Is a light bomber which carries four machine gun. It la deadly against troop concentration and haa caused Franco's forces much trouble. The Italians and Russians seem to be about even In their development of tanks. The Italian have a light, fast model which will scoot over al most any type of ground. The Rus sians have a heavier one which car ries gun large enough to penetrate the Italian tank. The Oermans have spent much time lately In Improving their tank. They have a hlgh-pow- a super-machine gun. It will pene ered automatic gun which Is, In fact. trate even the heavy Russian tank, which Is Immune to ordinary rifle and machine gun ftrr The artlllry haa deveoped no new weapons. The French .76 and the Oerman .77 are thundering at each other In Spain aa they did at Ver dun. Recent fighting also shows the French have loat none of their skill In handling field artillery. Developments In tactics are slight. The si g-tag barbed-wire trench still seems to be the best defense. Air plane and motorization enable swift er movement of troops. Thl neces sitates greater protection In the rear, less concentration of troops, more shifting of position. It 1 apparent from all this that the troops nowadays must be me chanics, capable of operating Im proved automatic weapon of death. It Is also apparent that the mili tary experts have learned as little more about making war a the states men have learned about making peace. Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS rOR years, the dirigibles of other I nations crashed or burned with resulting great calamity and scream ing headlines, but those of Germany escaped. It looked almost aa If Ger many, where dirigible are concerned. had something that other people lacked. The burning of the great Hlnden burg Thursday evening puts an end to that appearance. WHEn you fill a mighty bag of relatively flimsy material with highly Inflammable gas, which will burn of explode on contact with the tiniest apark, you are taking long chances. EVEN when you fill a vast and rel atively flimsy bag with NON-INFLAMMABLE gas (such a helium, which has been used by the United States In lta dirigible experiments) and expose It to the buffeting winds, you are Inviting trouble. The records of all the dirigibles ever built seem to besr that out. OTB thla headline: Italian Forces Mass for Big Push on Bilbao. Rom Warns Vol unteers Not to Fall." REMEMBER then that Bilbao Is In Spain, and that the war In the course of which It has been beleag tired 1 a SPANISH CIVIL WAR and that all the great nations of Europe have pledged themselves more or less solemnly to lend their efforts to con fining the war IN SPAIN. You wilt then get a fair Idea of the mess that Europe is In. ' ArrER that, you might recall that Italian soldiers (supposed to be volunteer in Spain) were given a round licking by the crude loyalist militia. You will then get a fair Idea as to why It la that Rome now warns the Italian volunteers NOT to fail this time. Swashbuckling dictator, who as pire to be the bogey men of Europe, causing other nations to tremble whenever they roar, can't AFFORD to have their soldier whipped by any chance band of raw mitltla they hap pen to encounter- .

Arrest of Alimony Seeker Finishes Sit-Down on Father-In-Law's Lot POLICE TAKE ACTION AS NEIGHBORS IE OF 15-DAY NUISANCE LONOMOMT, Colo., May 11. (UP) Mrs. Oenevleva Johnson's sit-down strike for 10.70 a week alimony ended last night when police arrested her on "nuisance" charges. The arrest waa made, according to Police Chief Orvall Barr, because resi dents of the neighborhood Indicated their disapproval of her activities during the lfl-day strike. Mrs, Johnson, who la 30, accepted the arrest In matter of fact fashion, revealing the possibility she might have been growing weary of the pro cedure herself. Never during her sit-down siege on the lawn of r. and Mrs. Guy John son, her parents-in -law, with whom her estranged 36-year-old husband Uvea, was there an Indication her strike would terminate successfully. Yesterday police said the elder Johnsons had ordered disconnection of light and water meters and In tended to move away, leaving her with a sit-down strike well under, way but without a victim. "It all right with me," she said; "If the neighbors don't like it and went me to quit. I guess that's all there Is to It." The date for the preliminary hear ing waa set for next Monday. Mrs. Johnson was released on personal rec ognizance. Mra. Johnson went to the home of friends "to go to bed." Cornmunications Old Parties Pass. To the Editor: In a recent editorial you give your opinion again that the Republican party a we have known It 1 a thing of the past, and I heartily agree with you. As you sy: "Unless, etc." there can be no future for the O. O. P. Well, I am wondering why you did not go a step farther and make the same findings concerning the Demo cratic party. What Is there left In either one of the old parties that could Identify them with the same parties of, say, thirty years ago? A I see the situation there are only three political movements which challenge the deeper, thought of men In tha nation today: Commun- Ism. which I chiseling Into our sys tem in a hundred ways. Fascism which Is the ONLY remedy for com munism, and, third, a conservative, liberty-loving, Ood-fcarlng group who still believe in and advocate consti tutional government. Where did the N.R.A.. the A.A.A. and all such movements, in their es sence, come from? Were they entirely new movements, brought forth to meet the needs here, or were they "ready made" elsewhere, and condi tions created here to demand them? Who framed the so-called "Child La bor Amendment?" Who wants more than a third of the population of the United States put under the power of the secretary of labor? When a man think thru these movement he know why there is this shifting of political alignments, and a dead earnest effort to find out Just where we are. It is high time we did something other than "whoop It up" along old party lines. JOS. M. JOHNSON. May 10. 1037. Gold Beach, Ore. Would Fingerprint All. To the Editor: This writer believe that universal finger-printing should be established by law; that all bablea ahould be finger-printed at birth, and that It should be repeated on various occa sions during life, such as the day he first entera the public school, the day he entera college, the day he enlist In the army or navy, and that both parties at marriage should leave their fingerprints upon the official document. It would also be wise to place the fingerprint beside the signature on deeds, wills and other important doc uments, and all who desired could. In this manner, safeguard their checks so a to render successful forgery Impossible. When finger-printing thus becomes matter of personal protection and a means of crime prevention, people will no longer shrink from being finger-printed. Bablea have sometime gotten ex changed. Solomon's way of solving the problem waa unique and rery wise at the time. But finger-printing the baby would be still wir, for it Is applicable at all times and la In fallible. When a child Is kidnaped It pic ture Is published, and usually rumors spring up far and wide of such a child being seen: Investigating these rumor often prove expensive. But tf the fingerprint were published wtth the picture, local officers could quickly rescue the child or dismiss the rumor, at almost no expense or trouble. Kidnaped adults might leave fingerprints on the car and In the room where detained, to aid the officers.
