Editorial Correspondence
(Continued from yesterday)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 8. We haven't been aa amused
and interested in a conversation for a long time, and still don't
quite understand how we resisted joining in it for many matters
wore discussed upon which we would have lilted further
ciilii-'litcniiieiit, the DKFINITION of a gentleman for exHinple.
The Southern girl averred you could always depend upon
a Virginia University man, knowing how to dress, how to dance,
how to talk, how to make love, how to ride a horse and how to
shoot and she never knew a Harvard or Yale man that knew
how to do more than two or three of these things more often
onlyONK!
We hoped the "Nawthen" gal would ask if he also knew
how to get a job and make a living if he GOT one, hut she
didn't. She simply refused to join the Virginia cheering
section, otherwise she appeared to agree with everything the
Dixie belle asserted.
We were greatlv interested when the two girls alighted, a
fat, pink-checked lad, greeted the booster for U. of V., and
considering the reputation he had already been given for 100
gentlcnianliness, we were rather surprised to observe he didn't
take the cigaret, out of his mouth when he talked, and kept
shooting approving glances at the girl from the north, whose
"blind date" did not show up. In short his manners toward his
girl friend we felt compelled to term decidedly cavalier, fand
we don't mean the sort of "Virginia cavalier" that later led the
Virginia college hand up the gridiron!) We were even more
surprised when he (the fat hoy) remarked he had to get a shoe
shine, for lie had to play football in about two hours. (We then
and there abandoned all hope of any sort of contest, for there
are fat boys AND fat boys, but this one was unmistakably a
bowl of mush I Also smoking eigarets, though perhaps that, we
thought, was one of the marks of being a gentleman in sports
at Chiirlotteville!)
Well as before stated the game was a beauty, not a dull
moment from start to finish, ending in a -Navy win but Vir
ginia on her heels all the time, final score 14 to 12.
And the fat boyf We worked on the editorial field glasses
half an hour before we finally located him. He wasn't in
uniform. He was in liis shirt sleeves, throwing out head guards
and footballs from the side lines, the third assistant football
manager we decided. It was hot, his face looked like a chil
dren's circus balloon on the point of exploding, and in addition
to his other activities, he threw blankets over the shoulders of
some of the heroes as they were
We wondered where the nroltv little irirl wns. for rIip WAS
prfttty, and bright, even though an we reported her conversation
4 i i i . i , , , ,
it may have sounded dumb. We wondered also, did she tiilk
about the code of gentility on
pus, on the return trip?
But the conversation provided a useful ba-ckpround for a
:ame in which otherwise we would have had no particular in
terest. For that "gentleman " refrain kept Roiuiu up, not
only when the gentlemanly" undergraduate kicked the crude
and plcbian navy lad in the ribs, fand lost the name as a result),
but when hy actual count six GENTLEMANLY Virginia undcr
fjradimtes were carried out our entrance (only one of several)
so drunk they couldn't locomote.
In fact, while Virginia couldn't beat the Navy on the field
of battle, they certainly could in hard, long and fancy drinking.
Perhaps it is characteristic of eastern football in these degen
erate days, but we have never seen so many drunks of both
sexes in our life, at any college game, the favorite concoction
appearing to be coco cola spiked with a mixture of alcohol
and dynamite I
Later at the Carvel Hall the "Wind date" showed up a
very small and slender but attractive looking midshipman, in
fact in their well fitting black uniforms and white caps, they
are a stunning lot. Not so impressive physically, as West Point
perhaps, but so clean and fresh and nice! They also look like
young men of intelligence and character. Well' being the pick
of the land, WHY NOT 1
Sorry wo can give no further information on the two school
girls and their escorts. The Washington boarding school they
attended had a special bus for the return trip properly chap
eroned after sunset.
If that girl from the "nawth" bad any brains or spunk
SHE did have something to tell that pretty little girl with the
southern accent on the return trip.
And one would be that n "GENTLEMAN" knows HOW
and WHEN to drink.
Hut we hllve n hunch she didn't. R. W R.

WASHINOON. Oct. 12. The bet
tlnn Is good that, despite the Re
publicans' frantic effort to keep them
to the fore, domestic Issues have
sunk into an obscurity which will
last as long m the war. This Is true
for three reasons, all highly prac
tical. First, home-front controversies lose
interest In a world in flames. Sec
ond, attacks on the new deal do
mestic program, which pocked them
in when business was poor, cannot
draw large crowds when business Is
booming. Third, while the war pros
perity continues, the president Is un
likely to feel the urge to present
great new measures of a controversial
nature.
AU of which explains why treasury
men and other administration mod
erates are wearing broad, contented
smiles, while the new dealers, feelinc
at a loss without a reform to press
for. are sitting around looking pus
hed and slightly unhappy.
The real essence of the domestic
situation is the improvement in
business, which currently promises
to be almost astronomical. Even the
most pessimistic left-wing economists
!i.knouei,;e that, by next summer
th" unemployment total may cut
from 10 000 000 to 5 000,000. Tliev

Qt'ESTlONS AND ANSWERS
Par-HolHng
Your a!Iu.lon to pasteurization as
"par-boiling" is unscientific and mis
leading to the laity. Do you infer
that because you happen to dislike
the taste or color or method of dis
tribution of a given product it Is
necessarily unsuitable for other peo
ple? M. W. H.
Answer I almost well, I get all
In a dither at the very suggestion
of mashed potato anywhere in the
environment but if you like potato
in mat deplorable state I assure you
it w as nutritious, digestible and
healthful as In any other form. Par
boil means "to boil partially; to over
heat: to render extremely uncom
fortable by heat." Ijong while ago It
meont "to boil thoroughly," but that
sense is now obsolete, according to
weosier. i-asteurize means to heat
to a temperature considerably less
than boiling to 145 degrees F. (boil
ing is 212 degrees F.) and hold at
that temperature for 30 minutes.
That kills any disease germs likely
to be In the milk. Simpler, for mak
ing nondescript milk safe for adult.
invalid, child or infant. Is scalding
ring mo milk to bollinn for one
minute only, and then let It cool.
Milk so heated Is quite as safe for
any one as Is any grade of milk
pasteurized.

Spending has always been the con
servatives' main issue. With spending
temporarily taken from them, the
conservatives will bo reduced to com
plaining about existing new deal re
forms, such as the national labor
relations act. But thLs type of attack
has never been as successful as the
assault on a broader front, and the
president seems Inclined, In any case,
to meet It by such steps as the
recent Improvements In NLRB per
sonnel. AltogethT, the question of whether
domestic Issues are likely to be im
portant soon again really boils down
to the question whether the presi
dent is likely to trot out any new
white rabbits. The possibilities In
the white rabbit line fall Into two
categories pre-war measures, like
the new dealers" great pensions and
public health programs, and post
war measures, such as excess profits
taxes and price control laws.
The treosury men are cheerfully
confident that, nothing serious will
be done, and their confidence seems
reasonably well founded. The presi
dent Is tending, more and more, to
accept the advk-e of his congressional
leaders, who will certainly warn
against any novel adventures In leg
islation. Certain members of the ad
ministration who have always been
activists before Attorney General
Prank Murphy, for example now
hope for a passive, lct-well-enounh-alona
policy. And even the new
dealers, the Inexhaustible exponents
of activism, are not clear In their
minds as to what the "partv line"
should be. j
Some say that excess profits taxes
and price controls will "probably be
necessary." Others argue, rather
faintly, that the pensions snd pub-
lie health programs will be accept- ;
able to conservatives, and therefore
may be attempted. Silll others say j
that there has been no decision on
these- matters. Even the new dealers'
ally. Secretary of the Interior Harold :
I Ickes. has admitted that "this ;
may be no time for Inaugurating j
major reforms." j
All of which may b taken. In i
turn, as the full explanation of the
president's peace wtth the conserva
tive Democrats de-rlbed in Th!

liy k HAS K Jt.NhlNS
IP you follow the stock market, you
l have noted that It goes up on the
days when a long war seems un
avoidable and down on the days when
peare rumors prevail In the news.
That means that a lot of people are
betting that a prolonged war will
bring high prices and long profits.
yHAT Is probably true. At least, It
1 HAS BEEN TRUE In the past
But If It Is true, something else will
be true also: There will be a TER
RIBLE HEADACHE when the war
ends.
ft ERE la a simple truth:
A Prosperity la permanently In
creased only by production that adds
to human welfare. (Such as more
food for everybody to eat, more
clothes for everybody to wear, more
shelter to protect everybody from the
weather, more conveniences to make
life plcasanter for everybody.)
War production Is designed prV
marily for DESTRUCTION for kill
lng people, for making them so mis
erable they will be unable or un
willing to go on fighting. For that
reason, war prosperity CANT be per
monent. THIS country, of course, had noth
ing to do with starting this war.
For that reason, Its people can't be
blamed Justly If they try to take ad
vantage of the opportunities provided
by war In Europe for making tem
porary profits HERE.
But anyone who fails to understand
that war profits are necessarily TEM
PORARY profits will be very unwise
Indeed.
War booms are always followed by
headaches.
THIS exceedingly conservative
(which In these davs means scan
dalously old-fashioned) writer hopes
that such war stimulation to busi
ness as is probably Inevitable in this
country If the war continues over a
period of years is NOT accompanied
by soaring prices. Soaring prices will
upset existing balances and throw us
Into a vicious circle.
It will work this way:
As prices rise, the cost of living
will rise. As cost of living rises,
wages will have to rise also. Steeply
rising wages will mean that costs of
production will rise, which In Its turn
will mean rising prices again. And so
on.
Out of such a cycle NOBODY
BENEFITS, and Its Inevitable end Is
a CRASH.
IT will be Immensely better In the
long run If prices do not rise
steeply and profits are taken out ofj
increased volume of production. Thati
won't leave a headache.
