She Is the only lady columnist In the state, as far as this writer knows. She always writes entertain ingly, but more so when telling of her husband, and birds. She dls cusses most any subject, and today she speaks about fingerprinting, in part, as follows: "If you haven't had your finger prints taken, you should. For a long time I waa Indifferent myself, but the continual goading of a son finally drove me to It. For some time this urgency on hla part made me a little auspicious. I produced the stock argument of the unin formed that tf a life of crime lay ahead of me the fewer earmarks I left lying about the better. He said supposing some accident befell me such an accident, say, aa left me ' headleas. Such heartless Imagining gave me the chills and I said that supposing It left me without hands, too. He .thought of this a while and then replied that he thought few accidents occur which do not leave either the one or the other Intact. I considered this subject was getting a little out of hand. Being hale and hearty, there waa something more or leu gruesome In the thought of uch an unconventional demise. Not what one would choose for a lighter topic of conversation between a mother and her son. But finally X did have tt done and learned that he had omitted the best argument of all. It seems that If you have a card with your finger prints duly registered thereon, should you wish to get a check cashed In a strange place, no further Identifi cation la necessaryall you have to do la to produce these five black smudges. This was a great relief. I never go to strange places, but what If I should? And If I did go to some place where I was not known, check writing might prove as dnngeroua as If I tried It right here In my own home territory. I did not explain thla to the young man who took my fingerprints. There was something so flattering In his assumption that I passed down life's pathway light heartedly strewing checks that I rather dallied with the thought. If what he said was true, all one needs tn order to write a check Is to produce fingerprints. I hope the banks feel the same way.

Not only men who are all-wise, but men who are psychic, men who can read the future in the crystal ball, not only know just what has happened the past few days, but what is going to happen in the next few years. And ever since the Munich four-power pact was signed yesterday afternoon, they have been filling the air and covering white newsprint, with the products of their omniscience. -The Munich pact means this. It means that. And it is going to mean something else again in six months or in ten or twenty years. How satisfactory it must be to be so wise regarding the present, and so certain regarding the future 1 ' THIS column regrets it can't read the terms of the four aretdecidedly mixed. On one hand we glory in the world peace. On the other hand unoffending, and self respecting nation like Czechoslovakia, should have been made the sacrificial goat, forced at the point of the bayonet, to pay such a terrific price, merely because it is isolated and relatively speaking, weak. But whether the pact will another Versailles on a smaller avoids a present war only to probably more devastating one in the steady march to European appeasement and world peace We frankly don't know, and it is difficult to see how any-' one, unable to look into the future, CAN know. For the future depends upon so many factors, so many imponderables, and what this treaty is or isn't, depends so completely upon the FUTURE. IF the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia, DOES appease Germany, does "bring a generation of peace to Europe," does satisfy the territorial ambitions behind the standpoint of Europe and of the greatest number) that vain, the Munich agreement will go down in history as essen tially desireable and right. If, as statesmen like Anthony Eden believe, there is an irreconcilable conflict between democracy and fascism, that the latter can't be appeased, that the more the former concedes to the latter the more the latter will WANT, that there is not room on this earth for both, and if fascism survives, democracy CAN'T. If that is true. . Then this agreement, will merely represent a truce, and an ARMED truce, during which the armament race will con tinue, the bitter struggle for advantage, in this direction and that will continue also; and finally the inevitable armed clash, with the fascist combination, from a military standpoint far stronger than it is today, and the Munich pact will merely represent a shameful yielding to armed might, the needless sacrifice not only of a brave and righteous nation, but of millions of lives, simply because the democracies of Europe, England and France, when the crisis came, in 193S, were AFRAID to fight. There you have the two extremes, what might be termed the Chamberlain and Eden viewpoints, with world opinion today pretty much divided between them. WHICH will it bet We don't know. We fail to see how anyone can know. But everyone does know THIS: For the first timo in world history, with the world powers of Europe mobilizing, with the fuse of the powder magazines not only lighted but the spark racing with appalling speed toward tho inevitable blow-up. What looked like certitin war was prevented, world peace WAS maintained. And everyone also knows this: TIME IS ON THE SIDE OF PEACE! This Munich pnet whatever else it may do, DOES give TIME. That, at the present juncture as we see it is the vital point. HAD war once STARTED, then nothing could have stopped it, nothing but exhaustion, or death for European civilization at least. But now there IS time. And while tho forces of evil will have timo too to pursue their devious courses, we have sufficient confidence in tho essential intelligence and enlightened self interest of humanity as a whole to believe that, in any given period of time, tho forces of good can, if they have the will, get all the best of it. At any rate if war had broken out there would have been no chance; until it DOES break out, the CHANCE remains! Communications Sees the Cnd of England To the editor: Perflde Albion sold out again It haa cut belta from somebody else's hide. Long ago the Americans dis covered that they did not save the world for democracy, but prevented the British empire from dissolution. America paid not only In blood and money, but paid also In lost Ideals, and helped to enrich England with new colonics and natural resources. To expect righteousness from Eng land is equal to expecting mercy from a tiger. We all remember Eng Und'a double dealings In the psst. Lawience of Arabia could tell ua a lory, how Albion with one hand promised to Arabs, and with tho other to Jea the name thing. With one hand given Ethiopia, with the oth?r demanded from Mussolini to abstain from war. Does not the war In Spain prove that England la not interested In democracy? Is not the whole non-intervention a tragedy?

BETTER NOT CHANGE THAT DRESSING In medicine, surgery, hygiene, san itation and first aid or home treat ment, let well enough alone la the best policy, pro vided you know It Is well. In this column the principle of "scientific neg lect" haa been recommended re peatedly in the treatment of burns, wounds, ulcers. On the other hand It haa been ex plained here whv ina competent pnysician or surgeon today does NOT allow a broken bone to remain for weeks In apllnts, sling, cast or other dressing. The func tional result obtained from treat ment of fractures in the modern way, compared with the results ob tained from the attempt at rigid Im mobilization which was the accepted method of grandfather's day show that the old-fashioned way was plain neglect, not scientific or Intelligent lot-alone. The ideal strlved for and the secret of the success of modern sur gery Is aseptic envirmonent not an tiseptic but just aseptic, which means free from germs. The wound, whether accidental or surgical, must be kept free from germs and everything that may come in contact with the wound must be kept as nearly free from germs as may be possible. Once the doctor feels confident that such as eptic environment has been attained, he generally leaves the first dressing undisturbed for at least a week after the operation. If the aseptic tech nique of the doctor himself, nurses and other attendants In the operating-room or In the ward or room occupied by the patient. Is without fault, then the wound will heal more promptly and' with less likelihood of subsequent formation of adhesion, scar or other troublesome sequel than as though it were subjected to re dressing every day or every few days. Laymen simply cannot apply strict ly eaeptlc technique In the treat ment of wounds. The knowledge of the physician or surgeon la indispen sable, and the art or the nurse who haa been trained in the technique during actual service tn the operating-room and at the bedside under the personal instruction of qualified physicians and nurses. In the first aid and after-treatment of wounds or burns the best course for the layman to follow Is one of non-interference, whether 1 Man About Manhattan By UbUUUfc rUCKEH NEW YORK.

Ordinarily the less the wound is handled, treated, dressed or disturbed, the better lor healing. There are sound reasons why the competent physician should remove the dressing from a broken arm or leg every day or two to give gentle :naage and prevent atrophy of the unused muscles, make graduated passive movements to prevent per manent stiffening In Joints; to make sure the bone is In the best posi tion for healing, for otherwise the fragments might get far out of place In the days following "reduction" or 'setting' of the fracture. But once a wound Is rendered as eptic, free from germs, and the mar gins of raw surfaces are retained In npposltlon by the relaxation and ad justment of the limb and the proper support and dressing, there la no excuse for disturbing the healing pro cess and perhaps delaying final heal ing for a day or two every time the first dressing is removed and an other applied.

He Is said to have car ried word back ta his government that the Germans must be making planes for export, so Immense was the production he observed. And his observation has lately been confirm ed In full by an American air ex pert's report to the authorities here. , This man passed a considerable period of time in Germany, Prance and England, Investigating the meth ods and facilities for manufacture He faund that the Germans had 20. 200,000 square feet of factory floor tpoce devoted to making planes, and that there were 160,000 German la borers at work constructing plane bodies, with many more building en gines and producing guns, accessor ies and the like. Ho found further that the German factories were Incomparably well de signed, better than any even In this country, and shrewdly housed In :-ma!l. scattered buildings, with green painted roofs and evergreen planta tions around them, making them al most safe from air attack. He stated that the estimate of 10,000 planes a year as the German production was well on the safe side. In England, on the other hand, he considered that the factories were large, poorly designed, and not very safely situated. At the same time, he saw production rising and efficiency increasing, and he concluded that the English were n:w spendlns sev eral times as much as the Germans on plane production. As for Prance, he discovered production almost at a standstill due to labor conditions, ind not much hope of Improvement In Immediate prospect. Two to One The American expert ended his re port by giving a comparative rating to the three nations, taking perform ance, number of planes on hand and output facilities as the three factors Giving Germany a full mark of one. he allowed England a mark of one half, and France, only one-tenth. Italy has a rating cf one-fifth. Trans lating all these figures Into tenths, that gives the comparative air strengths in a German-Italian versus English -French conflict as 12 to 6. or precisely two to one. You can see why there was fear of the war In the air. Of course, this power to bring ter ror from the air can be no permanent reliance for Hitler. As has been pointed out. the military authorities believe that even now the British and-French can win a long war. Clearly. Hitler cannot build up his strength In the other arms in the same way that the British and French can build up atr strength. The Ger man economy will not stand the cost of a great navy, or much Increase In the army. And that Is why. If peace can only be kept this time. Hitler's power to do harm In the world will be so greatly reduced. Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS THE British fleet, as these words are written. Is mobilizing. The British air force is already mobilized. Czechoslovakia Is on a complete war basis. The French army is par tially mobilized, end mobilization of the French navy Is Immediately im pending. The German army has been mo bilized for weeks, and as this Is writ ten Italian mobilization seems a matter of hoursi There Is little, If any, news from Russia, but Britain and Prance MUST have received satisfactory as surances as to what Russia will do. Otherwise, their tone would not be so firm. PRIME MINISTER CHAMBERLAIN, who may have been wrong in the first place but who has certainly done a man's Job In the past week and a half, announces In a brief radio speech that there Is nothing further he can usefully do and tells his Brit ish listeners 'they must stand ready to re-live the terrorizing days of 1019-1918. Foreigners, Including Americans, are hastening out of practically every country In Europe. EITHER war Is only a matter of hours, or the most stupendous bluff In the history of the world Is FOR 'ENDINGS' TO THESE TRIANGLE bt te TRIANGLE MILLING COMPANY being carried on up to the last fate ful moment. Everything Is up to Hitler, but much as we wish It otherwise It looks as If he has gone too far to turn back. HERE In America, it la time for us to begin to say: This Is EUROPE'S war not ours. We had nothing to do with making it, and It Isn't up to us to fight. Bar ring actual attack upon American soil, we are going to STAY OUT OF IT. "We learned our lesson In 1918, and we're going to HEED It now." AT this moment, It la easy to say that. It won't be so easy a year from now. In an effort to bring us In, every form of propaganda, every ap peal to sympathy knwn to man will be used upon us. So Insidious will be this propaganda drive that unless we take hold of ourselves with a stern band we shall find our emotions stir red to the point where It will be pos sible to whip up war fervor In this country. If that DISASTROUS point la to be avoided, we must begin NOW, with the grim determination, to practice common sense.
