It Seems to Me By Joe Williams (Pinch Hitting for Heywood Broun) I WAS down in Georgia the o f her day to see Bobby Jones come back to golf after four years among the gods. What I saw was the bright fabric of the cloak of invincibility turn to drab, morose hues. And I wondered why a mortal who had been up among the Olympians should ever want to come back to tread again the green carpets of an ordinary world. In Jones’ case there was nothing he could possibly gain. He had ruled his

sphere with an Alexandrian dominance. When he stepped down it was over the arched backs of all who ardently proclaimed him master. No man was ever more a king in his own sphere. The emperor's return added nothing to his luster. When the last divot had been replaced he was far down the list rubbing unkempt elbows with the rowdy bourgeois. In a brief instant a glorious illusion had dissolved in t.hp cold mists that swept in from the barren red lands. Why, the fellow was just another human after all! I don't, know whether this is

a salubrious lesson or not. Possibly it is. Historians are given to being much too generous with their medals of immortality. Cloaks of invincibility are sold at cut rate prices, with the inevitable extra pair of trousers. Only cots remain in the crammed hall of fame. Where there is so much majesty there must be some mediocrity. Not all the greats can possibly be so great as it is claimed they are. If Jones had not tired of his isolated place on the pedestal and returned to the good earth, all other leaders in his craft would have suffered by comparison. It would have been said of them: "Yes. they are splendid, but did you ever see the master?" tt n u Today's the Dag IN all things it should bp hpld that sufficient unto the generation is the glory thereof. Why should it ty> necessary for a crack newspaper editor of today to stand up and be measured for a ghostly fitting with Greeley or Dana or Watterson? Or. for that matter, a crack anybody else? All that should be necessary in any age Is proved ability to breast the surging currents. Whether the time record or the technique is comparable to what has gone on before can have very little beating on the immediate year, day or hour. 'Bov, I guess that's telling ’em. eh?) It seems to be that Jones was both wise and unwise. He quit at his peak. And then he returned. Not all men get the opportunity to retire when the bugles are blowing and the drums are rolling. Too many of them tarry in the wings waiting eagerly for encores that never come. With only a sketchy knowledge of such things, it, seems to me that, Mr. Hoover would have had a much greater place in history if he had gone back to his books and beagles in Palo Alto after feeding the Belgians. There can be little personal comfort in looking back on those last days in Washington when a tattered citizens' army began an advance. Posterity never will know, in this same connection. whether Mr. Coolidge was a very shrewd man or a very lucky man. But the fact remains that he dismissed his caddie and hung up his No. 1 iron at precisely the most favorable time. So far as he was concerned he had played the course in par. and he did not choose to play it again. I even think it would have been better if the syndicate men had permitted Charles Dickens to remain between the covers of his better known books. There was little in the unpublished manuscript that added to the gentleman's dimensions either as a descriptionist or a factualist. tl hope I'm not trying to use too many big words back here.) Moreover, the posthumous passages seemed to justify to no small decree the critical discriminations of Robert Graves, who made so hold as to rewrite the classical David Copperfield.” deleting more than 200.000 words and producing what most critics agree is a more moving story than the original. a ts ts An Old Standby IF you have been digesting the Washington dispatches and the editorial comment thereon you must have read a great deal of the late Mr. Jefferson and how he would have taken a full cut at the ball if he had been in there swinging at present-day pitching. It long has been the custom of bushy-haired statesmen with high white chokers to stride the legislative floors and bellow about what the late Mr. Jefferson would do if one of the pages could only go down to the corner store and fetch him right up there in front of the obstinate and patently misguided gentleman from Montaita. Os course, nobody knows just what the late Mr. Jefferson would or would not do in any given set of current circumstances, and perhaps it is a distinct break for him that he is not always available when the piteous call rings out. Maybe he wouldn't be able to get his putts down, either. On the other hand, if it were possible to entice the late Mr. Jefferson to play a repeat booking it might conceivably put an pnd to all the vocal rubbish which is created in his name—and as a result bring about a stunning realization in the legislative halls that this is actually 1934. There is room for much fascinating speculation in a revisit from the immortals. I am not sure just what ones I would like to see bark in the flesh. A whole lot would depend on whether it was possible to order at retail or at wholesale. I don't suppose a fellow should be too greedy. They tell me Lillian Russell was pretty nice, though.

Today's Science BY DAVID DIETZ .

SOME of the most remarkable and amazing discoveries about the universe have been made in the last decade through the study of variable stars. It is interesting, therefore, to realize that the first great landmark in the progress of knowledge of the stars was the discovery of the existence of variable stars. The discovery was made by David Fabricius. the Dutch astronomer, in 1596. He noted a star of medium brightness in the constellation of Cetus. or the Whale, which grew dim and faded from sight. Because of the strange behavior of this star, he named it Mira, which means •‘the wonderful." We know now that Mira is a variable star, that is. a star whose brightness varies. At its maximum brightness it appears as a third magnitude star. The brightest stars in the sky are known as the first magnitude stars, while those just visible to the naked eye are known as the sixth magnitude stars. At its minimum brightness, Mira is a ninth magnitude star and consequently only visible with a telescope. It takes Mira approximately 240 days to fade from its maximum to its minimum brightness. Its recovery, however, is more rapid, and it returns to maximum brightness in only ninety days. nan FOR many years. Mira and Algol were the only two variable stars known. By the end of the eighteenth century, astronomers had listed about a dozen. e At present, astronomers have knowledge of about stx hundred variable stars. Modern study has shown that the variables can be divided into four types. In some ways, the classification is slightly misleading because the first tvpe listed, namely, the eclipsing variables, really are not variable stars at all but double stars. A double star, it will be recalled, is really two stars which are so close together that they appear as a single star to the unaided eye.

THE MONUMENTS OF LITERATURE

D. H. Lawrence, Scorned as ‘Bad Boy, ’ Is Painfully Sincere, Earnest

This is the ninth of a series of artides describing the pageant of the world s greatest literature from Greek drama to contemporary fiction. This article deals with D. H. Lawrence and Aldous Huxley. a a a BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Times Staff Writer MOTHER love some times is very cruel. It may overwhelm the son, and although drowning because of it he can not escape. This is the theme of D. H. Lawrence's “Sons and Lovers," a tragedy of such stark beauty that it rises to a painful ecstasy at times. The voice of Paul Morel in the book is the anguished cry of the author portraying the events of his own life which destroyed his emotional sanity/ It is the powerful yearning of a little boy whimpering in the darkness for his mother. The domineering figure of Gertrude Morel, the mother, rules the book. The victim of an unhappy marriage, she crushes her husband’s love and lavishes upon her son a fierce protective tenderness from which he is unable to free himself. The careless hand of a fate which places one man in this position and another man in that has played a harsh game with Mrs. Morel. She is an intelligent, fastidious woman, brought into the dreary squalor of an English mining community by her marriage. She is disgusted with her dismal life. And as is true of many women in the same position, she turns all the fierceness of repressed love upon her son. The book says: 'At last Mrs. Morel despised her husband. She turned to the child, she turned from the father. He had begun to neglect her; the novelty of his own home was gone. He had no grit, she said bitterly to herself. What he felt w r as just at the moment, that was all to him. He could not abide by anything. There was nothing back of his show.

‘There began a battle between husband and wife —a fearful, bloody battle that ended only with the death of one. She fought to make him undertake his own responsibilities, to make him fulfill his obligations. But he was too different from her. His nature was purely sensuous, and she strove to make him moral, religious. She tried to make him face things. He could not endure it—it drove him out of his mind." The delicate, growing personality of the boy struggles to form itself, but is swallowed up by the mother's love. He feels with her the pain and humiliation of her position and is poisoned against his father. a a a PAUL MOREL is an extraordinary character. He is one of those lonely characters who are forever seeking to recreate the world into a poetic image. He longs for beauty as a starving person craves bread, while at the same time he is forced to batter his way through life. As the son grows older and feels the pulse of manhood there begins a desperate and tragic struggle to free himself from his mother's bondage. She fights back with all the cruel frenzy of an unhappy mother's love. The object of Paul's “lad and girl love’ ’is Miriam, an intense quivering personality, capable of great emotional expression. Gertrude Morel steps ruthlessly between them and: “He had forgotten Miriam; he only saw how his mother's hair was lifted back from her warm, broad brow. And somehow, she was hurt.” The reader may shout out in protest, so painful and selfish is the mother's domination she holds all the threads of Paul's life. Apart and yet parallel to his mother. Paul feels a passionate ecstasy engulf him in intimate experiences with Miriam and an older mature woman. Clara. But each time there follows a depressed restlessness as his mother reaches out, to claim his affections. At his mother's death Paul is desolate. Lawrence makes the most of his poetic style as he describes Paul wandering out into the night! “Whatever spot he stood on. there he stood alone. From his

‘The Barretts of Wimpole Street ’ One of Most Finely Cast and Excellently Produced Plays Ever to Be Seen on the Road

Katharine Cornell, has established herself as the “first lady of the theater” in Rudolf Besier's ' The Barretts of Wimpole Street.” She won that title the instant she produced “The Barretts” in New York over two years ago. Miss Cornell has retained that title because she has brought to countless cities thousands of miles from Broadway this marvelous success with a magnificent supporting cast. “The Barretts” is not a monologue for Miss Cornell because it is one of the most finely cast and finely produced plays that ever took to the road. Small houses would not greet many a faded star today if they had practiced what Miss Corneil is doing. She is bringing Broad-" way to Main street in the finest form I have seen in the last five years. Moments that thrilled me as much as when I saw Bernhardt and Duse years ago occurred again | last night at English's as Miss Cornell opened her engagement. The first great Bernhardt moment came right at the end of the first act when the invalid Elizabeth Barrett iMiss Cornell) accepted love for the first time from Robert Browning (Basil Rathbone). With the same great feeling of suffering and victory that Bernhardt had in her day. Miss Cornell lifted herself with faltering and painful steps to the window to see Browning leave her house on his first visit. Watch the hands of this woman as they express determination to support the weakened limbs. Watch her questioning and imploring but determined eyes as she starts her first partially unsupported walk to the window. Then hear that gasp of "Ah”* when she conquers fear and affliction and reaches the window while the curtain slowly goes down on Act I. This scene ranks with the finest I ever have seen given by ine late Bernhardt in “Camille." The great Duse compared moment came in the first scene of the third act when the understanding Elizabeth heard her own selfish. sex starved. petty minded and jealously cruel father tells her that ten of his children were bom in fear and hate. Watch Miss Cornell as she fights silently with locked hands on her old sofa the conviction that her father is a horrible man.

breast, from his mouth, sprang the endless space. Everywhere was the \ astness and terror of the immense night. Who could say his mother had Jived and did not live? She had been in one place and was in another, that was all. And his soul could not leave her, wherever she was . . . Where was he? , . . one tiny upright speck of flesh, less than an ear of wheat lost in r,he field. He could not bear it. On every side the immen.se dark silence seemed pressing him, so tiny a spark, into extinction, and yet" almost nothing, he could not be extinct. Night, in which almost everything was lost, went leaching out, beyond stars and sun. So much, and himself infinitesimal, at the core a nothingness, and yet not nothing. “Mother!” he whimpered “mother!’ a a READERS have refused to take D. H. Lawrence seriously, except to vehemently attack him for discussing sex. He is whimsically regarded as the “bad boy" of women’s literary clubs and the idol of lonesome widows. Yet there are few writers who are so painfully sincere and earnest. There is too much strong feeling in his work for Lawrence to be a humbug. His main fault is that he has no sense of humor and is too intent on projecting his message. Moralists have sputtered furiously against Lawrence, but his discusison of sex is so free from obscenity as to become almost spiritual. The reason for such purity is probably because Lawrence remained detached and inquiring in the midst of experience. He is a fastidious poet who would remove grossness from sex and make it a mystic experience rising beyond the body. This attitude is artificial or idealistic as one may view it. The same persons who would enjoy the hearty, obscenity of Dos Passos are alarmed at any attempt to poeticize sex, Lawrence's fault here is that he oversimplifies the universal formula for a happy life. He believes it is in proper sex relationships, because the problem was so important to him that it grew out of normal proportions.

Silently she decides not to incite rebellion among her sisters and brothers who were made just automatons. subservient weaklings to the dominating and brutal control of their father. Watch her as she recoils from his fetish embrace as he plans solitary exile for her as 'veil as his other children. Watch her hands, her eyes and. even her walk as she makes the great decision to elope with Browning without her father's consent. These are the supermoments to

Aldous Huxley, highly skeptical modern author, describes man as shorn of his illusions and a prey to the merciless factors of science. In "Point Counterpoint" he shows the confusion of lives resulting from modern ethics.

MODERN man is a clown in a confusing comedy! He has been disillusioned by his intelligence and deceived by his romantic illusions. This is the verdict of Aldous Huxley, skeptical author of "Point Counterpoint.” Like most ironic commentators on society, he is regarded by the rank and file of readers as entertaining and provoking but hardly profound. How’ever, there are few figures in all literature so tragically desolate as the debauched Spandrell in "Point Counterpoint." Huxley represents the intelligent man of today, satiated by his thought and incapable of escaping into illusion. He has wandered far from Shakespeare, who even in his dourest fatalism managed to give a power and surge to life. The theory presented by Huxley is this: That man in the beginning of civilization is naive, vigorous and surrounded by pleasant illusions which make his life a magnificent conflict. Gradually these illusions are shattered—all the fanatic devotions surrounding love, religion, war and government are lost forever in the noise of

my way of thinking in a performance on the American stage which is perfect. tt a a AS far .as I am concerned no better selection for the Browning role could have been made than Basil Rathbone. His makeup is perfect and he has fire, passion and complete mastery of all the big and little arts in expert showmanship. Love scene between Miss Cornell and Mi’. Rathbone in the second act is excellent. Up to the

progress. Love becomes a biological necessity; war, machine-made destruction; democracy, “the mania for counting noses,” and death, a lonesome passage into a lifeless void. Men are themselves to blame, claims Huxley. Men have struggled mightily to reach a reasonable viewpoint and now they are trapped with no illusions. a a a EACH character in “Point Counterpoint" fails miserably to work out the salvation he is seeking. They are Spandrell, who tries to find religious experience out of a life of debauchery; Lucy Tantamount, the perverted type of woman in search of .sensations; Philip Quarles, a novelist too lost in the grooves of his mind to give his wife the love she needs: Philip's mother, whose life centers around religion; Philip's father, an intellectual humbug who becomes involvel with a cheap stenographer; Illdidge, the wretched Socialist w’ith a grudge against capitalism; Walter Bidlake. an unhappy nonenity with a nagging mistress; Mark and Mary R.ampion, brave and intelligentpeople who finally prophesy so-

time I first encountered this play, I thought “Romeo and Juliet” had the perfect love scene. The f magnificently human way in which Browning quiets the fear and rebellion in the heart of Elizabeth caused me to change my mind and give “The Barretts” the honor of presenting the most human love scene I yet have seen on the stage. Charles Waldron as the father and head of the house of Barretts. deserves the right to the honors of giving the best performance of a hateful and jealous father that Broadway ever sent on tour. He captures every cruel, cunning and half insane mood of a man who had gone nearly insane in preventing love and any sex expression among his children. Another outstanding characterization was that of Helen Walpole as Henrietta Moulton-Barrett, the first of the Barretts to tell her father where to get off. but one who became a lying weakling because she didn't have the strength to fight the cruelty of her father. The entire cast is so splendid that i am giving it to you in full as follows: Doctor Chambers David Clas.'ford Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett Katharine Cornell Wilson Branda Forbes Henrietta Moulton-Barrett Helen Walpole Arabel Moulton-Barrett Pamela Simpson Octavius Moulton-Barrett Orson Welles Septimus Moulton-Barrett Irvin?

A. P. Kave Captain Surtees Cook.. Francis Moran Flush .. Flush No review would be complete without mentioning Flush, the pet dog of Elizabeth. The ajiimal stops the show. He is perfect. Miss Cornell shared her final curtain call last night with Mr. Rathbone. Mr. Charles Waldron and Flush. And can he take curtain calls? He can and how. “The Barretts" will be presented tonight and tomorrow afternoon.

cial revolution, and Burlap. a slimy editor who justifies his existence by a religious rigamarole that fetches him lonely women. Mark Rampion makes the most out of life by seeing it as a whole synthesis. The title means an entwining of all the characters, as in music counterpoint is the technique of mingling many different musical themes. Each event in "Point Counterpoint” leads relentlessly to the dramatic climax when Spandrell kills Webly, the Fascist agitatir, because he has felt almost every stirring feeling except killing a man. Thunderingly, the flimsy structures of all the characters collapse. Huxley abuses realism by massing the catastrophe and having the whole line fall at one time. The picture presented by Huxley should be a clear one. because it is supposed to represent the London soicety in which he lives and the characters are definite persons. Despite tne fact that “Point Counterpoint" is a novel of ideas. Huxley has employed a dramatic journalistic technique hat speeds both thought and actions.

Fair Enough By Westbrook Pegler IT is a terrible shock to read in the papers wher it states that some trusted employes of Tropical Park, the Tom Thumb horse plant in Miami, have been caught fumbling the rards in the mutuel room in such a way as to deal themselves a few tickets on the winners after the races have been run. I am pretty shrewd in my dumb, country way and nobody has to explain to me that if you can place your wager after the race you enjoy a marked advantage over those underprivileged persons who have to do

their guessing beforehand. To come out very fearlessly about it, I think there is something downright dishonest about such a practice and condemn the conduct of these parties in no uncertain terms. I flay it. But with the individuals themselves I am not much concerned. They may be but the victims of poor home training or evil associations, and anyway, the angel who does the writing in the book of gold will swizzle his quill around in the red ink and mark down something on the debit side of their reckoning. Their consciences will torment them. too. My botherment concerns the

fact, that it, is possible to do such things at. all mutuel horse parks except those which use the Australian board of which there is a total.of just one park, inclusive, in the United States, the same being Joe Widener's Hialeah track, also in Miami. Perhaps I assume too much in believing that it is impossible to fumble with the cards where the Australian board is used, but there is so much doubt and suspicion in the world that I like to think this is true and. with your permission, will do so until something happens to destroy mv last remaining illusion. 1 * n a Break for "Show" Boys T AM assured that on the Australian board the i 5 >C L < 1,' P ° n '-'feeds are kept current to the very last $2 show money wager and that the mechanism is locked so that nobody in the mutuel room can drop in any retroactive wagers. I don't know who keeps the key, though. Persons connected with the horse park business ha\e argued with me that, the Australian board is a device of the devil berause it destroys the tempt atjon to fumble the tickets and thereby tends to soften the moral resistance of the trusted employes Not being tempted they do not have to assert anv honest strength against the lure of easy but unclean gain and the result is, after a while, that they become not. men any more, but mere robots. I have been asked whether a man is any better for not annth l * When had nn chance to do so than another man who is put to temptation and takes a regrettable false step because the pressure was greater than his strength. Pressure was But. for goodness sake, you know what that sort, of from Thin f ad " i°' K gPts y ° u into chauv “fism and from that you find yourself swept away on a tide of emouon into the waters of anachronism, and the hlrT h K Bnybody knows you are cast upon the bleak shore of Megalomania, wav over on the editorial page.

They have had the ordinary mutuels in Illinois, entucky and Maryland for some years now’ and I hope and trust that the representatives of the state, inspired by it a high sense of public duty and remembeiing that is wrong to steal, chisel or cheat,, never have dropped in any longshot tickets for themselves retroactively or condoned this sort of funny business on the part of the tellers. But these jobs do not pay much salary and all vices start little. A man might figure that it wouldn't hurt much to drop in one such bet just once thus skimming only a few cents off the winnings of each winning bettor who had placed his wagers beforehand. Then he might figure that it was so easy and did so little harm, per head, to the individual victims, that he could afford to do it once a week. And then once a day, and, finally, on every race! These horse park inspectorship are political appointments and some evil thing keeps prompting me to suspect that the kind of political organization whose appointees would rob the paupers and steal the food from the bed-ridden might send mn into the mutuel rooms who would forget their solemn duty to the public.

npHE number of notions that persons have about A health ar< probably greater and more peculiar than unestablished ideas in any other field. How many times have you heard the statement made that washing inside and out is the best thing for the human body? Actually the human bodv is a self-regulating mechanism, and if one takes six to eight glasses of water daily, his intestines get about all the washing they need under ordinary circumstances. Os course, if you are sick with some tvpe of infection of the lower bowel, you may require special types of washings, but those will have to be picked out by your doctor and perhaps given to vou by a competent attendant. ‘ " _ Another notion that has frequently prevailed Is the idea that deep breathing exercises early in the morning, preferably taken without any clothes on in front of an open window, is a certain method of good health. While it may entertain the neighbors, there is no evidence that it really does bring about any remarkable improvement in health. mam IT has been pointed out, instead, that long-con-tinued forced deep breathing washes out the carbon dioxide from the blood and in that way may be harmful. Breathing is also an automatic mechanism and any time we interfere with it we are likely to be disturbing the actions of a well-regulated machine. Then there is the notion that a pain in the back means a disease of the kidney, a lot of old-tim# patent medicine advertising that used to be prevalent in our youth is responsible for maintenance of this idea. * Actually, pain in the back is only rarely associated with a disease of the kidney. Disturbances of these vital organs p.re more likely to manifest themselves by swellings in various portions of the body and by changes in the excretions, which can be found With laboratory examination.
