DOPE ON THE SKl'NK "One of the most useful survival traits for living beings la an ability to change behavior In the fa ol new circumstances. The skunk talis in essential particulars to do this. A decorative and undeniably bene ficial little fur bearer, despite evil fame, It has been able to humor Its bumptiousness far too long for us own good. Other animals yield It the right of way. except, perhaps, on the very first occasion of meet ing: seasoned wolves, lynxes, even bears, make a detour when a skunk stands In tha path. The great horned owl, with a poor smeller, or none, may be, Indeed, the only creature completely devoid of reaped for the skunk's defensive offense. "Beyond Intimidation, because Im bued with a sense of Immunity rare In nature, the skunk expresses Its Inflexible philosophy by standing pat before the thundering charge of mo tor cars and railway locomotlvea. Neither Its mother nor lta personal experience has taueht It any better. The Joust takes place In the dark because of the ukunk'a nocturnal predilections, end the occupants of the Juegernsut. slasl know nothing about It until after the event." (NY , eraJd-Tribune.) Advirtlitna Rapraaantat1aa Editorial Correspondence NEW YORK, Aug. 17. "East Side, West Side, all around the town" here goes! s A uniformed nurse wheeling a baby carriage on Fifth Avenue, between 44th and 45th streets, and jauntily puffing a cigaret in a long holder, tilted at an angle of 45 degrees, within a fat cheeked baby, with an expression similar to that of a bloated Economic Royalist, out for an airing in his Rolls Royce limousine, Also on Fifth Avenue, couple of chorines, arm in arm, dressed exaetlv alike in shimmering white silk Zouave costumes, flar ing trouserettes cauglit just above the ankle, richly embroidered silk vests, fezes at cocky angle. Faces dark with deep tan make-up. bare feet and ankles in flapping sandals, toe nails a rich carmine, but no deep tan and oink. flecked with down town dust and dirt. Followed the pair for two blocks, every male direction stopped in his tracks, and looked back as the pair swayed by leaving a strong odor of musk in their wake. They were advertising SOMETHING, no doubt, (will leave it to the Walter Winchells, who aren't afraid of libel suits, to state, just WHAT !- Searching for air and sunshine strolled toward the East River, along 53d street. A ball game in full swing, in the deserted street, the young men of all ages and sizes, using a lively rubber ball, and a broom stick for a bat. The batter knocked the ball as high as the 5th story of the adjoining apartment house, it bounced off a cornice, careened in a para bola, and was caught, by a nimble outfielder before it hit the pavement. Applause and cheers from the spectators on the side walk, and the brown stone steps. Note the batter did not hit the ball on the fly but on the first bounce. Found fresh air and sunshine at the end of the street. On the wharf, from the first everything seemed strangely familiar. couldn't quite understand.it. Where had we seen those skinny little boys and short well muscled bigger boys, all in bathing trunks, scampering about, pushing, shoving and now and then diving off the wharf with a big splash. And the touch lookine eirl. pale, ill nourished, with a soiled beret on one side of her tousled head, moving about with a bored air and a Blouching walk. A negro nurse maid wheeling a pink cheeked infant in a black enameled baby cab, yes and a N. Y. policeman, not swinging his stick but in a trim little police car something wrong about' that. Or at least not so familiar not exactly right. . But there comes a gorgeous steam-yacht, plowing down the river all shining brass and milk-white, a group'of people in white, reclining in chairs under an awning, over the stern, aud at the far right, a green terrace on the river front, a tower ing apartment behind, and under yellow and gold umbrellas, men and women in sport clothes and bathing suits, sipping drinks from tall glasses, some playing back gammon liveried factotums serving them ! Where HAD we seen all that before had it been a dream or what then strolling back the editorial eye cauglit a street sign, on a movable metal standard, and it all came back in a flash 1 The sign read "Dead End" believe it or not. And it was "Dead End" to the life the play we had seen on the screen and on the stage. Only "Baby Face" and the gun play were lacking. That penthouse apartment, one of the most splendiferous and expensive in the city was "River Mouse." In short we had run into the EXACT scene of "Dead End" at the end of 53d street 1 . Three ragged little nigger boys, last night tap dancing be tween acts of "My Darling Daughter" on West 48th Street, in front of Bill Brady's "Play Mouse", while the two larger boys clapped their hands in true dark African cadence, the little shaver, did a "tout seule', and the pennies started to shower down. The crowd laughed to sec them scramble. From the crowd a little white boy appeared and he-too started to sing and dance. A man next to us, explained he. is a Cockney stowaway alone in New York, and he does this every night. Me is only six, but strange to say the little colored boys don't resent his intrusion. And he has his dusky confreres beaten ou technique. He can pick up a penny, like a monkey, without getting down on his knees, or stopping his song. He stole the show, so to speak, and most of the pennies. But they all got some, and appeared content. "Yes My Darling Daughter" is one of the season's out standing hits. Decidedly modern, it is excellently done, anil provides many laughs. The keynote of the performance was sounded by the outraged father, of the young girl, who kept a rather TOO romantic week-end date, when he cried : "Can it be the moral world is dead and I don't KNOW it!" We have an idea, that is a frequent inquiry of the plodding paterfamilias, these days, particularly if he is from the hinter land, has daughters, and is roaming around New York! It may be interesting to note that Rockefeller Center, chris tened at birth as the largest White Elephant ever to inhabit Greater New York, is now in the BLACK. Went over there to see a newspaper agent and he is authority for the statement. Tenants have been secured principally because this colossus is air cooled, and most Now York office buildings aren't. Have an idea one might search this crazy Babylon a long while, and not unearth a more eloquent prosperity note, than that. .

With all this on then minds, the WPA administrator's col leagues dont welcome a piscatorial pro tee t which ha come down from the New York aquarium. It seems that, bark in the gone and almost foiyotten CWA day of 1034, a project was undrrtaken which cost n mund tlOO.OOO. It humane purpos was to bring fresh wstar make-up there, tootsies white they met coming in the otner to tha fish tn Gotham's famous aquarium. Involved waa the con struction of an intake pipe as well aa a 50,000 -gal Ion reservoir. Because of the difficult terrain, there were 33 elbows In the pip. When the project waa finally com pleted the other day, there waa quite a oerwnony arranged when the water was to be turned on. Presumably all the big fish were there panting for the first drops to drip from the pipe. Valve were opened, but no drop dripped. Engineers were called In. But to i no avail. There was nothing left to i do but apply for more funds to straighten out the kinks ln the pipe). Meanwhile, at WPA headquarters, they are expecting a achool of pro testing fish to appear on the horizon at any momrrnt. further to bait the already harassed Mr, Hopkins.

MORE DIETETIC Olive oil, butter, animal fata, cream, bran, yolk of egg In the diet favor drainage of the gallbladder and gall- duct In case you have gallstone or chronic cholecy. stltla or cholan gitis. But wait a minute. The&e same foods tend to Increase pain from contrac tlona of the gall bladder If you are subject to colic. ThlA Is all I can tell about It. In general, one with chronic gallblad der trouble, with or without gall stones, should Include a liberal va riety of fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and reasonable amounts of oils or fata In the diet. There Is no reason to Imagine oils or fats cause or ag gravate the trouble, except as above explained. Nor la there any founda tion for the quack notion that huge doses of oil can or will "dissolve" or eliminate gallstones in any case. The Individual with chronic gallbladder trouble should drink plenty of water, before meals, with meals, between meals. Water with meals unnecessarily worries many valetudinarians. The invaild should be guided by his phy sician's advice, but normal persona may take a drink of water as cold as they like whenever they feel thirsty. A glass of cold water just before a meal tends to Improve digestion, es pecially if one is at all thirsty. Gen erally the only health rule that ap plies is that water or other beverage should be taken as a beverage, never to wash down morsels of food. Eat when you eat and drink when you drink.

There Is so much nutriment In an egg, and it matters little how you prefer egg cooked. Suit your own taste always.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS ALBERT VON YAEGER, holder of several degrees from German universities and a former member of the German diplomatic service, who Is vtaltlng In Southern Oregon, spoke to a Southern Oregon service club the other day on conditions In Europe notably those In dictator ruled Germany and Italy. His picture of what happened over there, and how, was Interesting be cause of Its bearing on what MIGHT HAPPEN HERE If some of our "ad vanced" thinkers have their way. (Herr von Vaeger himself made no such Intimation, but the thought occurred to many of his hearers). HITLER and Mussolini (he said) were able to seize dictatorial power because conditions in Ger many and Italy got to bad they couldn't get any worse, and people hoped that under a dictator they MIGHT GET BETTER. BOTH Hitler and Mussolini (he added) have HELD their power because of an unusual combination of magnetic personal charm, shrewd understanding of human motives and an uncanny ability to "handle" peo ple. ' (Besides, Herr von Yaeger said, both Hitler and Mussolini actually have IMPROVED conditions in Ger many and Italy got so bad they of EVERY PERSON'S LIFE toward the objective of advancing the wel fare of the STATE has borne fruit). YOU will answer, of course, that it -CANT HAPPEN HERE. At pres ent, to be sure, tt can't. But suppose that Increasing re strictions and pyramiding taxes shake the confidence of employers in the future of America. Suppose that prices, climbing the inflation spiral, advance faster than wages, so that working people are worse off. each year, than they were the year before. If that went on LONG ENOUGH, the time would come when condi tions here In America would appear to be so bad they could become no worse. Who knows what might happen then? IT JS an unpleasant thought. Per haps it Is an ABSURD thought. God knows, every good American hopes so.
