I've been stabbed.
In the back.
By the Associated Press.
Having spent the better part of
several years trying to convince
people at large that robins are not
harbrlngers- of spruig but perma
nent 'residents I thought maybe a
little headway had been made.
Not so. -
Yesterday the AP carried a story
on tue wire wnicii read (shudder):
Omaha (AP) Not a pair of rob
ins. Due a pair or railroad rotary
snowplows will serve as harbring
ers of spring this month for resi
dents of West Yellowstone, Mont.
On Tuesday
So there you have it. Like Cae
sar, we are surrounded by enemies.
Oh death, where is thy sting?
Man's inhumanity to man Is not
best summed up in the grim and
bloody business of war.
It's to be found in a harmless
(not lethal, that is not quite) in
vention called an alarm clock.
There Is nothing else so nerve
shattering as waking up in the
dead-black that precedes morning
wondering It the alarm is about
to go off or if you can safely go
back to sleep. Luminous dials do
no good. You never can see 'em.
So you lie and suffer. And wait.
And suffer, and finally go to sleep
just ten seconds before the damn
thing goes off.
In case you're Interested you can
blame your early morning sleep
lessness on the Germans who first
Invented the alarm clock, although
the Americans took over the lea
dership of the field starting in 1900.
The first clocks were built as early
as 135 B.C. but had no alarm.
TJiey were water clocks. If you
wanted to be suner accurate vou
had a water clock and glass gad
get known as an hourglass.- You
could hardly hear the sand run
through it. Only the water drip
ping.
Anybody know where I can get
a good hourglass?
And a new job?
Another early morning menace
Is the breakable shoelace.
Goes in conjunction with clocks.
If you oversleep you'll almost
Invariably jerk too hard on the
fragile shoe anchor and snap it.
No wonder modern man's nerv

messy tangle.

NEW YORK W) The Red Cross
Is something the average man
takes on faith, just as he does
mother love or the wings of an air
plane In which he flies.
Unless he Is involved in a general
calamity, he may never see at first
hand what the organization does.
But he trusts the goals to which it
is pledged.
This year the Red Cross in Amer
ica is -trying to raise at least 85,
000.000 to carry out its widening
program, which last year included
the raising of 1,000,000 pints of
blood.
Just what is the Red Cross?
One of the most beautiful def
initions was penned long ago by
the late James A. Mills, famous
Associated Press foreign corres
pondent. Jim Mills, who died ten years
ago this month, roved five contin
ents in quest of news and was once
told by Mahatma Gandi, "When I
enter Heaven I expect to find you
waiting to interview me at the
gates."
As a young man Mills- served
with the Red Cross In seven Eu
ropean countries during and after
the First World War.
What he saw, then and later,
of the organization's international
work for the good of mankind led
him to write the following tribute
to it:
"I am the Red Cross. I was born
of the hearts of men. I am sus
tained by forty million souls. My
mission is of mercy, kindness and
charity. My bounds are the limits
of the earth. I am my brother's
keeper. I know neither color, race
nor religion. My creed is the creed
of service. My voice is the voice
of the American people. My goal
is the goal of a higher humanity.
My precept is the precept of God.
My reward is the gratitude of the
widow and -orphan, of the strong
and the sick, of the happy and the
bereaved.
"I go forth into the darkness of
the night; into the uncertainties of
the day. I penetrate the fields of
oattle. I defy the peril of shell and
bullet. I lighten the horrors of com
bat. I encourage and inspire the
soldier. I give him a thousand com
forts. I minister to those he has left
at home. I claim the wounded from
the battlefield; I bind their wounds
and ease their sufferings. I mark
the graves of the dead.
"I eradicate epidemics. I am the
foe of plague and pestilence. I miti
gate the horrors of floods and fires
and wrecks. I am the arch-enemy
of calamities. I triumph over - pov
erty, want and woe. I house the
homeless. I feed the hungry. I
clothe the naked. I protect the wid
ow and the orphan.
I am the friend and helper of
all nations. My hand and heart
encompass the globe, My legionar
ies I send to the uttermostparts of
the earth across the threatened
ocean, through war-swept territor
ies, over infested lands.
"I am the sentinel of the health
of the human race. My sympathy

I don't know when spring will
be here.
But maybe we can trust the
word of Don Fisher, custodian of
the Modoc Lava Beds. Don says,
and I quote: All signs at Lava
Beds national monument indicate
that spring is near at hand. Many
of the migratory birds are return
ing and squirrels aud marmots
have ended their hibernation. Ead
quote.
All I've got to say is "more
fools they." If I were a squirrel
(there are many who take issue
with that if) and had a warm bed
I wouldn't get out of it before the
Fourth of July.
Anyway, there's another nronhet
for you. Anybody else care to take
a crack at it?
It won't be long before an or
ganization will be in to sponsor a
drive to get out the vote.
Seems strange that we have to
do this every year. 'Specially in
view of the number of phone calls
received by this office during a
primary or an election wanting to
know the results.
If everyone that phoned also
went out and voted we'd have a
record breaking line at the polls.
Not that we object. We like it.
Shows interest on the Dart of the
public and we're glad to have the
calls and give out whatever infor
mation we have.
We'll say it now and leave It up
10 your own sense o: responsibility
later:
GO ON OUT AND VOTE. IT
.MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE!

Tough Day For
Women-Nylons
NEW YORK m Big scale
stocking- troubles beset women
shoppers Monday in the neighbor
hood of Pennsylvania Station their
nylons disintegrated before their
eyes.
There was no unusual smell In the
air, but it may have been the at
mosphere that caused the trouble.
About a fourth of the women
passing one street corner had
holes and runs in their hose.
"It's terrible," complained one
stenographer, "about 20 girls in
the office here have 10 or 12 runs
each. They all started after we
went out to lunch. The girls that
didn't go out to lunch don't have
any runs."
About a fourth of the 1,000 well
dressed women attending the In
ternational Beauty Show at the
Statler Hotel were astounded to
find runs and holes in their hose.
The city's Smoke Control Board
said Monday was a bad day lor
fumes in the city, because there
was little wind and a lowering at
mosphere to keep city odors close
to the ground.
AtmosDherlc attacks on nylons
have been reported in other cities
where heavy concentrations of sul
phuric fumes collected.

One need not
share the concern
of clerics for
the modern moral standards that
curse our country. Nor need he be
very oia 10 reinemoer wnen puu-
lie opinion exiled drab doers from
positions of trust: and when the
power of example caused men in
public life to watch their step.
We once had a vice president
who got himself on the hook by
ignoring the importance ot exam
pie in high places. Back then the
cocktail suffered disfavor beyond
' cocktail
ranks of the drys. It was a sym
bol of snobbish aristocracy with
the beer drinking common man.
Thus there was a double barb to
the hook that snagged Charles W.
Fairbanks. He became universally
uiown as - cocktail cnarue.
Conversely, one of our Presidents
was so conscious of the power, of
example mat ne never permitted
his picture to be taken while smok
ing. President McKinley said that
non-smoking fathers might not like
their children to see the President
smoking a cigar.
Alas the pendulum of moral con
duct has swung from prudish cau
tion to almost criminal abandon.
One most alarming phase of this
perverted standard is the example
that it parades before youth; its
mockery of the very words moral
ity and etnics. .
The generation is being taueht
that it is profitable and smart to
be eely and tricky: that it is cute
to ignore common man-to-man
honesty and slither through life
along the border line of integrity
and concern for others.
Once possessed by unholy am
bition, the evidence is abundant
that should a lad slip into what
is left' of dishonor, plenty of legal
technicalities exist- to clear him
of almost anything.
tie reads daily tnat he only needs
on-: of two things to make it safe-
money or political influence. He ob
serves that it is better to have
both, and that one begets the other.
He finds that money will buy po
litical influence, and with political j
iniiuence ne can get money.
The things that might deter him
he finds at low ebb; such as public
vigilance, which would expose him,
and unswerving Justice wnich would
punish him.
it seems quite safe to become
gentleman grafter, thief, plunderer,
even despot and get away with it.
if he can but get' on the inside.
Every newspaper tellls him of men
who gamble with crimes against
God and man and escape punish
ment through influence or money.
His objective blinds him to the
fact that righteous use of both
would cure most of our domestic
ills, build character in youth, save
our republic and its motto "In God
We Trust."
We have ceased to trust in God
when we flaunt His laws, desert
His standards, and set up our own
to humor our creed, under the
bogus alibi that "times have
changed."
Integrity never changes; honesty
is eternal. A thief is a thief: a
liar is a liar, regardless of the
immunity that money and influ
ence may buy them.
Americans need to set their
sights upon the sincerity of their
leaders, and the company they
keep. But they need also to take
inventory of where bad example
is leading their children, and the
nation.

Greed for dollars and thirst for
