Cheer One Way,- Vote Another
THE action of the British parliament today reminds- us of
the traditional attitude of the national Democratic conven
tion, toward William Jennings Bryan, during the later years
of his life.
William Jennings always had a four-star place on the pro
gram, and always made an impassioned plea for prohibition
which aroused the assembled delegates to veritable paroxysms
of enthusiasm. State placards would march, flags would wave,
and even the official band with sure-fire "Dixie" often failed
to restore anything approaching quiet in the galleries for as
much as half an hour afterward.
Any inexperienced observer would be convinced the "Boy
orator of the Platte" now grown man, had practically the same
oratorical and hypnotic power over his party, that' was the
case when he made his "cross of gold" speech.
But a few hours later he would have to admit his mistake.
For after cheering, Nebraska's silver-tongued Demosthenes to
the echo, paying a deserved tribute to the grand old man,
the boys and girls assembled headed by the New York delega
tion, always proceeded to vote down everything W. J. B.
proposed, and all his life, had stood for, So during the later
years of his life Mr. Bryan's "heart was in the grave" after
practically every party convention.
OF course our British cousins don't out np any similar
monkey-shines in parliament, and except on rare occasions,
conduct their affairs of state, with oppressive dignity and
decorum. '
But according to press dispatches, Honorable Winston Spen
cer Churchill was given "careful. attention," yesterday when he
condemned the Munich pact and more or less completely took
the moral hide off, the right honorable Neville Chamberlain,
When the mercurial Winston took his scat, there was general
applause from the prime minister's own section, and enthusi
astic approval from the opposition.
But that, too, must have been, largely a personal tribute to
Churchill and like Bryan's Dry exhortation, a tribute to the
moral integrity of his stand, rather than any sympathy with
his actual proposal.
For today parliament voted 366 to 144 to sustain the Cham
bcrlnin program, and uphold the dismemberment of Czecho
slovakia, and if a general election should be called there is
practically no doubt, the people of England will uphold the
government, and repudiate Winston 1
What
IT is difficult to take the editorial eye off Europe, the imme
diate situation over there is so much more interesting and
dramatic than anything that is going on in this country,
including the world series, and the alleged political campaign.
History is so acutely in the making and to date, Jew-hating
and Jew-baiting Adolf is running so true to form. Before one's
eyes, what a week ago was a free, independent and prosperous
country, is being cut up, and appropriated, by a nation that
less than two decades ago was brought prostrate to her knees,
and,
Der Fuehrer, without so much as a decent interval, is pro
ceeding to behave with that cruel arrogance, ruthlessness and
insatiable ferocity which those who know him best, and fear him
most, PREDICTED
FOR example: today he not only insists upon tne auaeien
areas predominantly German, and plebiscites where German
majorities are doubtful, but plebiscites where it is KNOWN.

As if this were not enough Hitler also is preparing a bill
for reparations, from Czechoslovakia, dating back to the birth
of the republic, something new in international law, but not so
new perhaps in the annals of medieval conquerors.
If a similar ethical principle were ndopted in our own crim
inal code, then it would be entirely proper, for John Doe, after
running down an unoffending pedestrian, and severing both
arms and one leg, but not actually killing him to collect
damages from the unfortunate victim, for injury to his CAB!!

of Rumania, if she doesn't by force of arms actually conquer

"Germany uber alles" dream, will bo opposed in any effective
way, by Russia alone. There will be no war between England
niul Germany or France and Germany, the countries lying in
the way of the Teutonic march toward the 1'ersian gulf, will,
if need be, sold out, precisely as Czechoslovakia was sold out.

TO IMPROVE POSTUR
Of the four grade of profile pos
ture from excellent or A to Bad or
D, and the four grades of anterior
or front vtew
posture from ex
cellent or I to
bad or IV, 75
per cent of chit
dren In the!
'teena ti&vt only
C - III or poor
posture and less
than 1 per cent
have A -1 pos
ture. The poor pos
ture of the ma
jority of young
persons la primarily due to one or
more nutritional deficiencies, notably
deficiency In the Intake of sunshine
vitamin D throughout childhood snd
deficiency In the Intake of calcium
and phosphorus due to excessive de
flnement of food which removes
much of the natural calcium and
phosphorus from the food, and also
the lack of adequate vitamin D
which is essential for the utilization
of calcium and phosphorus.
Peinsps deficiency of vitamin B
complex In the refined diet, and
faulty metabolism of Iron and other
essentials the assimilation of which
requires vitamin B complex, la the
next most common cause of the poor
posture of growing children.
The contempt of proper physical
education which la felt and evi
denced by ao many American educa
tors has the sad effect of encourag
ing pampered or spoiled children In
evading this part of their schooling:
it promotes a negligent or indifferent
attitude among pnrents. too.
Remember the grade A (excellent)
profile external auditory 'matus or
opening Into ear, tip of acromion i
(tip of shoulder) greater trochanter
(outer bony prominence of hip) and
external malleolus (outer ankle bone)
are In a plumb line. And the ex
cellent (I) anterior or front view
posture requires the knees, ankles
and great toes to touch easily, a
space visible between Insteps, shoul
ders of equal height, curves at waist
line equal.
For child or adult with poor pos
ture the best way to Improve the
posture Is by beginning at the head.
Sit, stand and walk, whenever you
think of It. aa tho you were carry

tlcc la bound to Improve the pos
ture of the entire body.
Having learned how to keep your
head on straight, and perhaps to go
about correcting the chief faults in
your nutrition, it Is well to consider
better handling of your feet.
The most prevalent error in han
dling the feet la toeing out. Unfor
tunately young ladles were formerly
taught that it la dainty or graceful
to toe out, and even in the army
soldiers were compelled to toe out.

NEW YORK The words "mural"
and "controversy" will have to be
hypenated soon. They're practically

Post office murals often cause bat
tles. That little spat between Rock

year ago was over a mural Kent hid
done for the post office building.
Washington. The Puerto R leans ob
jected to that message in Eskimo :
"Puerto Rico mtunlera llaptlumum :
ke ha chlmmeulakut and ao forth.
In other words, "Let's change chiefs."
Besides, Kent's Puerto Rlcans, said
the natives, looked like Africans.
They weren't enthusiastic.
The mural trouble which should
have ended all mural trouble, and
didn't, took place at Rockefeller Cen
ter. Diego Rivera, the celebrated
Mexican artist, insisted on incorpo
rating a figure of Lenin. The Rocke
fellers said no. Before the thing was
over, Rivera threatened court pro-1
GENEROUSLY-
ceedlngs, 400 left-wingers picketed
Radio City, and the Rockefellers were
called everything from "perfect gen
tlemen" to "cultural vandals."
Another sore point at Rockefeller
Center was the portrayal of Christ
In a panel depicting the sermon on
the mount. Frank Brangwyn, the
artist, said he waa told to omit
Christ. One idea was to use a "great
light." Finally, a compromise was
reached, and the figure was present
ed in such a way that the face
didn't show.
Now that the WPA la murallzing
public buildings far and wide, we
have a lot to look forward to. A
mural by a Japanese artist, Elrar
Ichlgaki, in Harlem court, gave Ab
raham Lincoln- the same dusky hue
as the slavea he waa liberating. In
addition, the murals were called bath
"inciting" and "depressing."
Fortunately the murals were tacked
up temporarily. Before they were of
ficially approved (or disapproved) by
the municipal art commission, they
disappeared. Attaches of the Harlem
court said they didn't know when
the paintings wre removed or where
they were taken.
Artist Harold Weston's mural, mo
rale has been unshaken. His laugh
ter tinkles clearly above the outraged
(iries. In a series of murals for the
treasury department, he burlesqued
murals which had caused, shall wc
say, "controversies" In other govern
ment buildings.
One shows Justice distinctly leer
ing from beneath her blindfold.
Another outnudes an Indian scalping
mural in which the exposure of flesh
was criticized. "It's all In fun," he
declared.
One reason for such tempests may
be that murals have something In
common with the movies. The man
in the street haa an Interest in them.
A painting which might have an
unblemished reputation tn the clois
tered retreat of the art galleries,
can't take It In the market, places.
John Doe, buying a stamp In the
post office, sees a mural which Is
"un-American" or "unconventional."
It's his post office and he revolts.
Hew does a mural get that way In
the first place? Some critics are ao
unkind aa to cry "publicity" when
a freak mural sees the limelight.
But it may be more than that. There
are artists who Just burn with con
victions, and a mural la a good
medium for propaganda.
And If nothing else causes a mural
controversy, there's always surrealism.
