Three of the Komodo killers were assembled In the same cage —Das Kapital, Rugged Individualism and Class Struggle. Rugged and Class were fast asleep in one eorner of the cage and only Das was stirring. I did not demand that he should breathe fire and sulphur fumes from his nostrils, bin unce the sign above his rage spoke of his "savagery I did expect to see some indications of the killer instinct. But much as I admire dragons I could not get awav from the undoubted fact that Das and Class and Rugged are very mangy specimens. The big Komodo lizards do badly in New York Forty days was the limit of the last lot which came to the city several years ago T would not write a policy for any of the trio which T observed today. Nor can it be said in the rase of Class or Rugged that the life of the big town got them. They sit pt and did not stir through any memory of ancient days and of the princesses most fair held in foul captivity. I tried to rouse the sleeping beasts by coming close to the cage and calling out; "Ho. dragons! St. George comes riding along a ribbon of silver to encompass your destruction!'’ Rugged cocked one eye and then buried his head again upon the scales of Class and dozed like a sleepy puppy. a a a Monster vs. Columnist DAS trod with awkward gait across the planks of his rage, but suddenly wheeled and stared at me directly A lion will avprt his gaz.? after thirtynine seconds, and I've timed it. But not a giant lizard from the island of Komodo It was dramatic. There we stood, the young columnist with Bridgeport and high adventure ahead of him and the belated amphibian who had come to the end of the passage. I was the wireless, the electric refrigerator and the syndicated comic strip. He was my great nth power grandfather, who had in his day climbed up from the primeval slime to make good the theories of Mr. Darwin. With lurk. I would get to Chicago to see the world's fair, and I said as much in my arrogant glance. He gave me the eye right back, for was befo Hannibal crossed the Alps or Joshua made tht l and the moon to stand still. The new world and the old might have carried on the duel until twilight. I suggested the compromise. "Let s call it a draw," I said. "You were and I am" Das Kapital blinked, perhaps in agreement, and crawled across the rage to lie down with his Komodo compatriots. Here was the head upon which all the ends of the earth had come. His eyelids were a little weary. Copvrieht. 1334. hr The Timps)

BY DAVID DIETZ

CALENDAR reform is once more a topic of discussion among the scientists of the world and many of them are hoping that something can be done about the calendar in the near future. How the present, far-from-perfect calendar has grown up through the ages by a process of trial and error is told by Dr. Frederick C. Leonard in a recent bulletin of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Dr. Leonard is chairman of the department of astronomy in the University of California at Los Angeles. He reminds us that there are three natural units for the measurement of time, each arising from a different natural phenomenon. First of all. there is the day. fixed by the rotation of the earth upon its axis. Next there is the month, originally determined by the revolution of the moon around the earth. Finally there is the year, fixed by the revolution of the earth around the sun. Now if the lunar month was in lencth equal to an exact number of whole riavs. and if further, a certain number of lunar months fitted exactly into the year, there never would have been any difficulty about the making of calendars. But such is far from the case. As Dr. Leonard savs. ' No two of these units are commensurable—that is. no pair, to speak popularly, possesses a common denominator—so that the ratio of any two of them is what a mathematician calls an irrational number." a a a ON acoimt of this incommensurability of the day. month and year. Dr. Leonard continues, "it is manifestly imposible to divide the year into an integral number of months or days without obtaining also an unending decimal as a remainder. "The irrationality of these ratios is what caused all the difficulties which the ancients encountered in their futile attempts to regulate the calendar by seeking to fit the lunar month evenly mto the year." The Roman calandar. Dr. Leonard tells us. finally became so hopelessly confused that it was best described by a famous remark of Voltaire: The Roman generals always triumphed, but they never knew on what day they triumphed." Julius Caesar decided to reform ihe calendar and in 46 B C he railed in an Alexandrian astronomer named Sosigenes to carry on* the job. Caesar and Sosigenes devised the calendar now known as the Julian calendar and this was put. into effect in 45 B. C It frankly abandoned the attempt to keep an exact number of lunar months in the year. The Julian calendar introduced the leap year to mankind. It had three years of 365 days each followed bv a fourth year of 366 days. This assumed that the average year is exactly 365 * days long.

Day after dav I have watched these trains pull by, the first time in modern history that a great, planned migration of people has flowed from west to east. For once the traditional trend has been reversed. a a a IN this 1934, version of "covered wagons,” the convoys seem to alternate. First a train of pioneer settlers—men, women, and children, burdened with all conceivable kinds of personal and household effects—then a train jammed with troops with full equipment, from field guns and airplanes to war-time soup kitchens. But then this is no ordinary migration. It is the result of two clashing civilizations, Occidental and oriental. Japan is openly bidding for domination of the far east, and Russian now quite definitely realizes that she can not maintain her foothold on the Pacific by arms alone.

DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND B>j Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

AY 7ASHINGTON, May 21.—General Hugh Johnson is looking for a \ V handy tree. He has caught a large and ferocious bear by the tail, and like the proverbial huntsman, hasn’t leave him go. hasn't hold on. The service codes—barbers, beauty shops, hotels, taxis, etc.—he has decided to abandon as impossible to enforce. The plan, however, is proving easier said than done. The transit industry—street cars and busses—have bluntly told him that they will not stand for junking of the taxi code. And to prove they mean business they have backed up their warning by two specific threats; 1. If the taxi code is discarded, the Transit code authority proposes to resign at once in a body. 2. Following that step, the industry will air in the press certain items of NRA “dirty linen." which it has reason to believe the general is not anxious to have exposed.

These items consist of the fact that hanging fire within the NRA are a number of noncompliance charges against transit companies. No action has been taken on them for six months. Why there has been no "cracking down" is a mystery. The complaints have been shuffled from one division to another, each apparently passing the buck. a a a \rOUNG Henry Morgenthau was surprised one morning to read a columnist's report that he was about to be sent abroad as ambassador to France to make room for 'Barney'' Baruch as secretary of the treasury It was news to him. And so. apparently, was it to President Rooseevlt. At any rate, about noon of the same day the treasury chief got, a little note on White House stationery. which read. “As A1 Smith cabled the pope November 8, 1928. .'unpack'." a a a TO insiders, there uas nothing surprising in the sudden action of Oklahoma's inflationary Senator Elmer Thomas in offering an amendment to scuttle the President's "Truth-in-Securities" act. Progressive inflationists were amazed over this display of torvlsm. But they didn't know their man. There isn't a trace of real liberalism in Thomas economic thinking. His inflation bellowing is unadulterated politics. Oklahoma has always been a hot-bed of monetary populism. More money cranks emerge from its boundaries than oil kings. Clamor for monetary experimentation pays good political dividends. and Elmer has his eyes cn the main chance. Tire tip-off on Thomas is to be found in two minor side-lights. 1. He was a De Pauw university classmate of Dr. "Eat-and-Tell'' Wirt. When the latter uncorked his fantastic tale of a brain trust Red-revolution. Thomas went wringing his hands in grave alarm. 2. In his everyday attire, the Oklahoman is one of the bestdressed men in congress His tqll. erect, white topped figure is draped by expensive tailors in th* most natrician manner. But the photograph which usually appears in newspapers and magazine pictures th n senator from Oklahoma in tattered overalls.

Vast extent of Siberia, to which the greatest planned migration in world history is taking place, is indicated by this map.

Already they have spent on this region more than did all the czarist regimes put together. tt tt a ONE-THIRD the total outlay—and it will run into billions of dollars—to be expended on the second five-year plan will go to the upbuilding of Siberia.

They would nail his hide on a fence. Fahey, a quiet-spoken but decisive New England publisher, former president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, is known on Capitol Hill as the toughest new deal nut that jobsnatching statesmen have to crack. The solons have almost given up trying to force "deserving Democrats" on him. And how they resent it! Menion of his name in a group of Democratic legislators is certain to star Ia flow of torrid invective. Fahey pla,\s no favorites. He is just as hard-boiled with cabinet members as with congressmen—a lesson Big Jim Farley is learning—much to his startled disgust. Fahey is even refusing to answer the telephone when Jim calls him up. There is real ; - eason behind Fahey's strong antipathy to political appointees. When he was advanced from mere membership in the HOLC to its chairmanship, he found his organization sunk with incompetent politicos. "Seaboard Bill Stevenson, lameduck South Carolinian whom Fahey displaced, had packed the HOLC with juicy henchmen regardless of capabilities. The resuit was a number of juicy scandals which the administration still is trying to clean up. Fahey has changed all this. Although the Norris amendment, wlvch woud have placed all HOLC appointments on a merit basis, was thrown out of the house. Fahev has quietly enforced it just the same. tt a a T''HE painting which draws the greatest crowds in the CWA exhibit in the capital's famous Corcoran Art gallery is entitled, "The Horse s End—or the New Deal."

i Josef Stalin himself, taxes, or | “state collections,” either have been eliminated or greatly reduced as a form of subsidy for the far eastern and Siberian settlers for a period of from five to ten years.

Chuck Helps Police Cops Pleasantly Surprised When One-Time Foe Helps Load Battling Pal Into Black Maria.

Chuck Wiggins, the Hoosicr play-boy, has climbed so high on the water-wagon that police today were planning to give "The Chuck" a present of lilies of the valley tied up in the regulation W. C. T. U. "white ribbon.”

The Chuck, nemesis of police, actually, yeah, no fooling, actually got into an argument with a taxi driver at the Manila bar and aideVl the police in giving an alleged intoxicated friend of his a ride in the Black Maria. The friend was Bobby Lee, of light pugilistic attainments. Patrolman Owen Tevlin and Harry Hayes were called to the Manila bar on the report of a fight outside its doors. They found Chuck. Lee and Eugene Haupt, 28. of 17 South Highland street, taxi driver. Desire to grab a handful of phones and call for a busload of police reinforcements, as was necessary several years ago when The Chuckler battled ten. or was it twelve, coppers, vanished when the patrolmen saw that Chuck was stone sober. Lee, they charge, had knocked down the driver while under the influence of legal "heat." When his lightweight friend protested against taking a ride in the police jiggle-buggy.

Fdir Enough, rawlM 'VfrEMPHTS. Tenn.. May 21—This is the week of T he cotton carnival in Memphis, the eotton festival in Little Rock, Ark., and the strawberry festival in Humboldt, Tenn. Other celebrations of the same kind which are held in this section of the country are the watermelon festival at Water Valley. Miss.; the peach festival at Forest City, Ark., and the chee.se festival at Collierville, Tenn. The idea is spreading rapidly and I look forward

hopefully to the holding of the cod-liver oil carnival in Glo'ster, Mass., and the observance of nut and bolt week in Bridgeport. Conn. Brick and tile week in Perth Amboy. N. J . and the hard coal carnival at Scranton might be attractive too. The Memphis celebration began as a promotion stunt for a local movie theater a few years ago. Business was very had and the manager of the theater conceived the not too original idea of running a parade which would lead the citizens up to the turnstiles of his picture house. He thought cotton would be an appropriate motif in the parade

and planted bales of it alone the curbs and excited the interest of the eotton people who are, naturally, among the aristocracy of the city. tt tt tt It's fake Other Cannibals TT'HE model for the festival, onrp ;t outgrew the movip theater's private sponsorship, was the New Orleans Marrii Gras, which has served as the pattern for the fete of the veiled prophet in St. Louis, the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena and various citrus, apple and cereal carnivals in various parts of the country and the Coney Island Mardi Gras in New York. At this writing, Mr. Shifty Logan, tho retired newsboy, retired pugilist and retired fireman, who has adopted me for the duration of the festivities, has retired across the bed. which might give you an idea of the sort of goings-on that go on during one of these carnivals. Mr. Logan went out last night to take part in the merrymaking at the Beale street rambles and fillpd up on barbecued ribs, snoots, ear? and tails and stimulants. He arrived back at the hotel about 4 in the morning wearing a low-comedy straw hat about the size of a dime, carrying a souvenir walk-ing-stick and towing with him a friend named Mac, a minstrel. Mac was a solemn, skinny little man who sat on the edge of a chair, cuddled a tom thumb guitar against his bosom and defied the world to name a song which he could not play and sing by ear. He sang all the standard southern songs, such as “Swanee River” and "Old Kentucky Home" and several of the stage classics, including "Poor Bov” and “John Henry-” It was toward dawn when Mr. Mac slumped drowsily against the wall and Shifty Logan, stretched out with his dime-size straw hat over his left eye, began to snore, Further acquaintance with Mr. Mac upon recovery today discloses that he is a Hawaiian in the hula concession of a carnival company which is playing on a lot just above the river. His professional name is Yaka Hula and he wears a horse-tail wig at his work. a a a He Entertains 'Em All HE sang one very beautiful song about how the good Lord flew in through the windo v and took his dear mother away to heaven. He said there wre many such songs, never written down, of course, but just passed along from one person to another among the field hands and shanty boatmen along thp Mississippi river and remarked, just casually, that for a few dollars to cover his expenses, he would be pleased to attend anybody's party almost any evening and entertain the guests. He has a partner, too, with whom he plays and sings duets, or maybe tandems, and can bring him along for a few dollars more. The experience of the Memphis cotton carnival suggests to me that many persons who never have taken the trouble to have a good look at the southern states and their way of living and doing might find interesting experience on this side of the line now that European casts too much. The greatest hunting grounds in this country are in the south and people who have been worrying the waters of the fished-out lakes and streams in northern states might realize certain goofv dreams in a section of the United States, from which they have barred themselves by habit and prejudice up to now. I have been finding, also, that the pestiferous preacher, the political nuisance who caused so much woe within the last fifteen years, has been moved back into his church house and out of the courthouse and that life in this area offers many attractions to outlanders who are fairly capable of reasonable behavior. iCopvrieht. 1934. bv United Feature Syndicate.

Your Health

OVER and over again I find it necessary to advise persons to let their eyes alone when a cinder, a piece of dust, or some other foreign object, gets into their eyes. There is nothing that will make you more miserable than an irritating substance on the eyeball. The condition is so painful and causes so much watering of the pvg and stickiness that it u>U3ll\ is impossible to sleep. When something gets into your eye there are certain things you can do and things you absolutely must not do. The things you may do may be listed as follows: Try not to close your eyelids. Hold the lids apart with your fingers so that the tears which come may wash the eyeball. If this does not work, catch hold of the upper lid at its center and puli it down slowly over the lower lid. Then roll the eyeball upward and let go the upper lid. Sometimes by this method the eyelashes will brush off the foreign particle. a a a IF these simple measures do not work, it is best to consult immediately someone who knows how to treat the eve before endeavcring to perform any manipulations upon it. Keep the eye closed. If necessary, cover it with a moist cloth until reaching nme one capable of removing foreign bodies that may be embedded in the tissues. The cloth should, preferably, be a sterilized piece of bandage, moistened with either a saturated solution of boric acid or sterilized or distilled water. a a a THE things you must not do are: You must not rub the eye with a soiled handkerchief or with your fingers. You must not try to pick something out of the eye with a toothpick or any other hard object. You must not permit any one with soiled hands to try to help you. You must never let any one appjy medicines, ointments, magical stones, or seeds or anvthing else to the eye. unless he has been certified by some competent authority as especially capable in this field. An infection of the eve mav follow manipulation. This infection may not only destroy the eye, but by sympathetic inflammation completely rum the other eye as well.
