. By Arthur Parry
The Old Year makes Its exit,
and the New Year -makes Its
debut late today. Vociferous
whoopee will mark the depar
ture of, 1943, and the arrival of
1944. The latter starts o!f with
shortage of calendars. The
public for some reason , did not
become, aware of the deficit un
til It was too late for any plain
and fancy hoarding of cal
endars. ' It is a different kind
of shortage than the alleged
beef shortage. One may gaze
upon a rolling pasture and be

what Len Carpenter of the
ranch Set calls a poignant lack.
Jt is no way to wind up a
ipeeding , twelvemonth or start
toddling one. .Like every
thing else it is probably due to
the war.

Among the local highlights
of what will soon be the late

O.D.T, will awaken to the fact it was not created to

of the country and the people. And when that awak

Transportation is the one agency in the country that
can tell the S. P. what to do, and the S. P. can't crawl
out of it
JJOWEVER, as the year ends there is one ray of

Diphtheria toxin, nroduced bv

'
THE experts on this subject of
juvenile delinquency, even
Including Mrs. Roosevelt, all
think in social grooves appar
ently, proposing only that more
and more money be spent for
boys' clubs, playgrounds, social
workers, psychiatrists In police
courts, etc. After they get all
those things, they will still need
the answer discipline.
The home Is still the cradle of
our culture. Discipline should
be re-established there on mod
ern psychiatric lines. If the
home Is broken up by Darental
delinauency (which also Is wide
spread) or by ihe war. or for
whatever cause, discipline will
have to be exerted somewhere
else.
We could start by resorting It
to the school. Nowadays teach
ers are afraid to touch the poor
little dears.
I know one school teacher In
whose four Junior high i ihool
classes only 80 per cent are up
in ineir work today, the remain
ing half being delinquent. She
cannot make them work. Her
hands are tied by modern mis
conceptions of science .against
just punishment in any effective
form.
e
IF THE restoration of home and
school discipline is not enough,
the churches are the next power
mat might be able to use some.
By all means, use of such
power, and in fact all youth
leadership, must be kept away
from the state, particularly the
federal government.
Now is the best time In the
world to judge what state disci
pline will do, with fresh evi
dence of what Hitler and Mus
solini did In brutalizing their
little nazis and fascists. Wa will
have none of that here.
Nor can you get discipline by
expansion of social work or ex-
post facto punishment in juve
nile courts. The place to start is
in the beginning, and someone
will have to do It parents.

Airline Official Explains
How "Short Snorters" Began
New York U.B The "Short Snorters" represent a venerable
Institution in American flying and are not a product of this war
despite war-born public'ty, according to William Van Dusen of
Fan American Airways. "
At least 11 theories on tne on- r
gin of the ocean-hopping auto
graphers of dollar have seen
print. Van Dusen - said, and
they're all wrong. He offered
no irrefutable theory himself,
but told twor and take your
choice.
Clyde Panghorn told Van
Dusen the order began in 192S
when the Gates Flying Circus,
playing in Syracuse, N. Y., ex
traordinarily took in more cash
than it paid out for gasoline. A
pilot performer volunteered to
fly to a nearby town for a case
of champaign for celebration.
When he returned "both he and
the plane were well loaded."
"He rushed up to me and, In a
belligerent tone of voice de
manded to know whether or .not
I was a 'short snorter'," Pang
horn said.
Panghorn produced a dollar
bill, which the pilot signed with
a flourish and handed back to
him.
'From there on it Just grew,"
Panghorn said.
Van Dusen s second "author
ity," E. W. Cleveland, claims the
order began in 1928 at the Los
Angeles air races. Bob Garland
was happy to' have a "short
snort" with any of the fliers or
dering drinks, but when his turn
oame round he d puu out a
thousand dollar bill which no
bartender could change. To get
this 'ninexpendable out of cir
culation, the boys started put
ting their signatures on it soon
they were autographing the dol
lar bills they had left over after
buying Garland's drinks, for one
another.
However it started, the order
flourished among pilots until the
depression came, Van Dusen
said, but by 1930 hundreds of
the membership bills had found
their ways into grocery stores.
Old-timers doubt that a dozen
members remained in good
standing by 1932.
The arrival of Wiley R
Wright (now Lt. Col.. USAAF)
In Alaska in 1930 gave new life
to the old order. Wright went to
the cleaners at the hands of the
territory's tall tale tellers until
he discovered he could clean up
for himself by way of the short
snorter initiation. Old sour
doughs still refer to Wrights
haul as the second Alaskan gold
rush, Van Dusen said, and
Wright can . still " display his
original bill, which bears signa
tures of nearly all the Arctic's
pioneer aviators.
will Rogers was the first non-
pilot member. He paid out $23
to attending members when he
was inducted "by acclamation"
during his and Wiley Post's ill
fated trip.
When Fan American lured
some of the old Alaskan pilots
to the States to learn "new fan-
glad" methods of flying, Van
Dusen said, they opened shop in
Miami, initiating pilots from the
Latin-American routes. Soon a
loop-hole was discovered in the
by-laws, formally drawn up. In
Alaska. They said "flier not
'pilot," and in a short time any
one who'd ever set foot in a
plane was eligible.
When the airline pioneered its
route to the Orient, pilots found
the order flourishing in China,
where it had been introduced by
Russian and Japanese pilots
initiated in Alaska. It soon was
carried to all Asiatic and East
Indian airline stopping points.
"Then came the war," said
Van Dusen, and "some impecu
nious pilot, probably" started
taking money off "women and
children and diplomats" who
took sleeping pills to lull their
nerves In exchange for the mem
bershlp distinction. The short
snorters became 200,000 over
night, and Van Dusen said North
African veterans claim the cam
paign would have been over a
week sooner if generals hadn't
wasted so much time collect! nj
and signing dollar bills.
Limited by tacit consent today
to aerial hoppers, the organize
lion's members Include heads of
state, multi-starred and multi

they must be "good guys ' all.
