It was my ambition to be an average undergraduate.

It would please me if I could remove this blot from my new paper escutcheon. But as Mr. Omar said in effect the moving finger writes and moves on. And don t I know it.

Th** dav before yesterday I stood in the Harvard yard at midnight and tried to make Rood the quest of mv youth. It was difTirult to bring back the vision of the past for seemingly women are admitted to the summer school of thp university. Outside of W*ld I paused and looked through a firstfloor window into the room in which I once had lived. In that, very window a fat blonde co-ed was lolling reading “Female” by Don Clarke. The Harvard which I knew was not like this. In front of the deans office I paused for another sentimental interlude. To this low white building I dragged my grudging feet after Terry, the messenger. had called with a little card saying that Mr. Castle would like to see me about my cutting of classes. And in those days I was filled with fear and awe as I .dunk into the august presence. How could I tell that the gentleman in question would later become an obscure and ineffective unit in the administration of President Hoover. In those days I had. quite fortunately, not yet attained my present hardboiled attitude. As I stood under the New England moon I wished most ardent, ly that I could become once more a freshman with all the appropriate hopes and fears. But I realized that it could not be done. I realized that in spite of all my efforts my new aggressive personality would not permit me to meet any challenge from any dean with anything but a gruff, “Well, what’s it to you. big boy?” a a a Harvard Isn't Harvard Any More IT'ROM University hall I circled around until I JT paused reverentially in front of Hollis. Here it was I trudged up the stairs to read aloud my compositions to Copey. And as I read he would rock, or mavbe tilt, back and forth and groan and moan and make other manifestations of acute critical disdain. And then came his verdict which I was forced to write down in my own hand. Well do I remember the afternoon he says. "Broun, try to solve your fictional problems without recourse to death, madness or any other beefeater in the king’s name.” Still, he did stretch a point and give me almost as good a mark as John Reed got. It was the only B of my entire college course. "Socialism.” said Shaw, made a man of me.” The best that I ran boast is that Copey pretty nearly lifted me out of adolescence. But as I looked up at the appropriate window in Hollis where the light used to shine for erring literary aspirants I suddenly remembered that Copey doesn't live there any more. And so Harvard isn’t Harvard. Gone is the lunchroom of Jimmy, and of Butler and of Rammey who sold the untouchable coffee. Max Kcezcr, I believe, remains. He was the most enterprising of all the merchants of Harvard square, for he used to make offers, modest to be sure, for even my castofi clothes. But I walked from Max Keezer's around the square and recognized no other landmark save Billings and Stover, the apothecaries where we used to buy rye whisky when Cambridge was bone dry. Gone, all gone, are the old familiar faces. A motion picture theater faces the yard. The chain lunchrooms have rushed in. There are even bars w'chin an olive's throw of Harvard university. I am.

I-'HE suicide rate in the United States is declining. but is still so high as to constitute a serious social problem. These are the conclusions of Dr. Frederick L Hoffman, well-known consulting statistician. The suicide rate for 1933 was 19.1 per 100.000. as compared with 21.3 for 1932. Dr Hoffman reports in the insurance journal. The Spectator. But this rate is still well above that for 1920. which was 12.3. Dr. Hoffman has made a study of the suicide rate m 100 American cities starting with the year 1900. In (hr thirty-four-year period the total number of -uicides amounted to 154.188. This, as Dr Hoffman says, was "a lamentable loss of human life, which at the present time attracts little or no attention.’* The ten cities with the highest suicide rates in 1933 were as follows: Davenport, la 403; San Francisco. 38 0: Denver. 35.9; Atlantic City. N. J 35 2; Tacoma. Wash.. 34 6; San Diego. Cal. 34.5; Sacramento. Cal., 34.1; Lexington. Ky„ 33 3. and Orange. N. J.. 31.9. a m a DAVENPORT, which leads the list for 1933. also led it in 1932. The rate for that year was 50.3. It would be extremely interesting to determine whv this midwestem city in the heart of an agricultural section should have a rate almost twice the average for the country at large." Dr. Hoffman says. ■ No explanation can be made at the present time.” Dr Hoffman says, “as to why certain cities have rates of from one-tenth to one-half below the average while others ha\e rates twice as high.” Cities in which the rate showed a marked increase for 1933 over 1932 included Brockton. Mass.; Cicero. 111.; Galveston. Tex. and Gloucester. Mass. a a a ”T TNTIL suicide is considered a public health prob--Icm of outstanding importance, no improvement m the rate is likely to be brought about.” Dr. Hoffman says. "As I have often said before, there should be a national society interesting itself in studies to prevent suicide.” A study of international statistics shows that the United Stales is about midways in the table of suicide rates. Chile with a rate of 3 2 and the Irish Free State with 3 4 are at one end of the scale, while Hungary with 29.8 and Austria with 34.5 are at the other.

FANNING THE EMBERS OF WAR

Mussolini and Hitler Fight Over Austria Appears Inevitable

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srripp*-Howard Forttxn editor A \ WASHINGTON July 28. —A long drawn out fight to the finish over W Austria now appears inevitable between Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator, and Benito Mussolini, the strong man of Italy. Hencefor’h. unless Hitler or Mussolini backs down completely from his present Austrian policy, all idea of an understanding between the two leaders—seemingly a distinct possibility a few weeks ago—must be abandoned Asa result of Wednesday’s bloody coup d'etat, the Italian Duce. with France's permission, holds Austria in the hoilow of his hand If Hitler lifts his finger to reverse the situation, there will almost certainly be war. Far from settling the Austrian problem, it remains today a bigger peril to the peace of Europe than it was at the beginning of this week.

If the assasinated Chancellor Dollfuss was Mussolini's man. his successor, Prince Ernest Ruediger Von Starhemberg, is his political godson. It was not for nothing that, at the beginning of the Nazi revolt in Vienna, he flew to Italy, conferred there with Fascist! leaders, then flew back to Austria again. The prince. Austria’s new boss, is about 35 years old. He comes of a family of fighting aristocrats —one of the oldest in central Europe. a m m CLEVER, but not brilliant, his family never expected him to add much glory to his line. But he has plenty of courage and still more of that bulldog quality—tenacity. When he really s’.nks his teeth in something, they stay sunk. The one glaring exception to this rule, however, appears to be his former attachment to Adolf Hitler. He once was a disciple of Germany's Fuhrer. He is said to have participated in Hitler's serio-comic beerhall putsch in Munich, in 1923. Then appears to have become disgusted. Perhaps it was the ridicule the beer revolt received. Anyway, he returned to Austria and began to look about for something else to occupy his time. His is the spirit of the knight-errant. The heimwehr movement was just getting under way. It was

IMPORTED MERCHANDISE COLLECTIONS INCREASE Indiana Total for Year Nearly Six Times Previous 12 Months. Collections on merchandise imported to Indiana from foreign j countries and cleared through the Indiana district of the United States Bureau of Customs during the fiscal year ending June 30. totaled 5633.000. Reports on the fiscal year collections of tariff have been compiled at the office of Wray E. Fleming, collector for the district. The amount collected during the last fiscal year was almost six times that received during the previous fiscal year when the total collecI tions amounted to only $115,634. The increase was the result of greater activity in all classes of merchandise imported plus the addition of imports not arinuted until the last year. Total operating costs of the Indiana district last year, including all salaries and sundry expenses for the Indianapolis office and those at Lawrenceburg and Evansville were $19,739. This reduced the cost of collecting each dollar last year to 3 cents as compared to 17 cents for the previous year.

One of the richest young men in the old world, with enough ancient family castles to spend his week-ends in a different one every fortnight or so, he not only gave his time to it, but his money as well. BBS HIS friends say the boyish prince literally went broke, so completely did he devote his fortune to the Fascist home guard. Naturally enough Starhemberg looked up to the great Fascist father, Mussolini. And Mussolini seemed ot take a fancy to the young man. The prince paid frequent visits to Rome where he talked, rode, hiked and swam w'ith the Duce. When he ran out of money, Mussolini appears to have taken over financing the heimwehr. Naturally, too, Starhemberg and Dollfuss gravitated together. 11 Duce doubtleSvS helped a little. Dollfuss was fighting the Nazis and against annexation to Germany. So was the prince. And, whereas Dollfuss was backed by a regular army numbering less than 30.000 men and a handful of police, Starhemberm was chief of the heimwehr, with more than 100,000 at his command.

THE question—“ Who is funnier—Will Rogers or W. C. Fields?"— often has been asked, seldom answered. You may have a better chance to answer that question this week because both Rogers and Fields are screen visitors in Indianapolis this week.

Fields is present as the Great McGonigle, star and owner of the nearly bankrupt tank-town production of “The Drunkard,” or "The Fallen Saved.” The title of

the Fields’ movie, however, is "The Old-Fash-ioned Way.” Rogers, as you know by this time, has two of the funniest scenes of his life in “Handy And y.” Right now we are concerned with the Fields movie. It cafi be said truthfully that Fields has two of the funniest

• ■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■ i %

scenes he has filmed in a long time. One is where Baby Le Roy, seated at a theatrical boarding house table in a small town, splashes pie and everything else on the face of the Great McGonigle (Mr. Fields). Baby winds up dipping Fields watch in molasses. Fields remarks, with murder in his eye, to Cleopatra Pepperday (Jan Duggan). that “a little molasses could not do more than keep the minute hand from sticking.” This table scene is as funny as Fields’ celebrated billiard table scene in another movie. The other scene which will linger in my memory is when Cleopatra sings “The Sea-Shells on the Shore” for McGonigle. Watch the comedian’s attire. He is wearing something new in coats. Maybe, on second thought, something old. Cleopatra has no voice but she certainly has the gestures and Fields has the needed facial expression as Cleo howls on and on. a a a SPEAKING of Baby Le Roy, I think the director passed up an opportunity by not giving baby more to do while Fields was juggling in the afterpiece following a performance of "The Drunkard.”

the apparent collapse of the Nazi putsch in Vienna. So far. at least as Austria is concerned. France, Britain and the other interested countries now' seem content to leave Hitler to Mussolini.

I “The Drunkard” dates back to 1844 and the Fields version is played in the same blustering and overacted way which made it a moral classic for our grandparents. This tear-jerking, laugh-pro- ! ducing “melodramer” taught a great lesson in the old days. It showed early theater-goers the terrible, terrible evils of strong drink and what may happen when papa is away from home on a spree. Fields is no amateur juggler and some of his stunts in this movie can be done only by an expert, but his showmanship cloaks all of his juggling with a comedy flavor. ana TODAY we howl at “The Drunkard"—as a play. In 1844. it was taken seriously with the audience hissing the villain and crying and applauding the heroine who would not leave the good old straight and narrow. Here is .old-fashioned melodrama done in the spirit in which it was created years and years ago. You may wonder, as I have, how such a thing ever could have been taken seriously. “The Old-Fashioned Way” is grand theater for every boy, girl, man and woman in the world. It’s | the cleanest fun in the world. If you are serious about wanting clean movies then this one deserves your support. Now at the Circle. a a a OZZIE NELSON'S "plenty hot" orchestra, known to many radio fans as “Joe Penner’s orchestra,” has been booked for a one-night engagement, Thursday, Aug. 9, at Broad Ripple park, according to an announcement by Ralph L.

Fair Enough WESnSRMK PHIER NEW YORK. July 28—The noble profession of the law. which recently chided the newspapers for printing lurid and sensational stories about crime, might be glad of an opportunity to explain at this nme just where a criminal lawyer distinguishes between his duty as a citizen to the community and his duty as an attorney to his client. There seems to b a dual character here, with one phase of the man opposed to the other. The question is suggested again by a news item

out of Tucson, Ariz., where John Dillinger was caught last January. Ten hours after his lurid and sensational death in Chicago, the attorney who had represented him in Tucson that time received a letter from his late client. •'The contents of the letter concerned no one but us,” the lawyer was quoted as saying. “Now that he is dead. I do not hesitate to say that we corresponded regularly.” Spoken like a lawyer of the highest ethical character! When the attorney says “we corresponded” I take that to mean that the correspondence

was mutual and that he was able to reach Dillinger with his communications. If that is not what he meant, he might better have said that Dillinger communicated with him. This was during a time when the United States government and the law. which all attorneys are sworn to uphold, were most eager to find Dillinger. In fact, the government arrested and sent to prison several persons who had withheld information as to his whereabouts. One doctor was prosecuted for neglect to notify the law that Dillinger was a patient of his. tt a tt Doctors Also Have Ethics DOCTORS also are bound by obligations of secrecy and. in the case of this physician, there might have been a more personal motive, than mere ethics for his failure to report his patient to the police. He was a St. Paul doctor ahd there w’as something about the operations of the St. Paul police in the Dillinger case which could not fail to make an informant pause and think. If he had squealed on his patient, there was good reason to fear that persons unknown would call around and kill him. The St. Paul police did not offer reliable protection for the doctor. They were either crooked or incompetent and the comment of the department of justice that St. Paul needed a good cleaning could not reassure a man in the doctor's position. The attorney in Tucson was bound by his ethics r.ot to betray anything which Dillinger had told him. That is understandable. The lawyers cite a historic case in England in which a judge and a committee of the bar ordered a lawyer to go ahead and defend a murderer although the man had confessed the murder to the lawyer. The attorney then defended the man so well that he was acquitted and the judge, who knew he was guilty, was compelled to turn hint loose. But the attorney in Tucson also knew that Dillinger was a fugitive who had broken out of jail while awaiting trial. Asa member of that profession which embarrasses the law and encourages crime by printing lurid and sensational stories, my question is whether a lawyer also is bound by his ethics to withhold information as to the whereabouts of a fugitive, if he has such information. tt tt tt What Is Lawyer's Duty? IS it, then, a betrayal of a client's interests to deliver him into the hands of the law so that he may be put on trial, subject to the usual elaborate safeguards, including appeals? And, if so. has the attorney no duty toward the law? It would be interesting to know, whether in the course of the correspondence the lawyer ever advised the desperate fugitive to give up and submit to a trial in accordance with the law which all attorneys hold in such high respect. This might have been a great service to the client as well as to the law. The longer the fugitive held out the stronger grew the probability that he would be killed outright, without any trial, when the law finally did catch up with him. But the answer to this also is locked under the seal of confidence. The complaint of the criminal lawyers of New York that the newspapers encourage crime by printing lurid and sensational stories recalls a remark hv the late Bobby Small, the war correspondent with tl. A. E. F. the night that the first American troops entered the line. The official communique was accompanied by confidential instructions. The instructions said that the dispatches to America must not be sensational. “My God,” Mr. Small said wearily, “the most sensational story for America since the assassination of Lincoln and they want us to make a want ad of it.” (Copyright. 1934, by Unite and Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Your Health 'BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIV

ANY swelling that occurs in or about your neck most likely is due to a glandular disturbance. If it is in front of the neck, your thyroid gland may have swollen, and if in the sides, it may be due to the lymph glands. If it is in the back of the neck, the trouble may be associated merely with some type of disturbance in the brain or its coverings, but it also is mast likely to be glandular. A swelling that persists in the back of the neck most frequently is a small, fatty tumor or glandular cyst. A cyst usually results from the blocking of the outlet of a gland, so that its contents are retained and produce swelling. Another type of cyst occurs in the midline of the neck in front, and is due to persistence in the throat of certain structures which exist in the child before birth, as well as in animals. a a a ANY disturbance of the teeth, the tongue, tha tonsils, the ears of the scalp may cause swelling among a number of glands in the neck. And if that isn't enough, you might remember that some of the neck glands may become swollen as a result of tuberculosis, cancer or certain forms of chronic glandular inflammation. Furthermore, any kind of infection that can occur elsewhere in the body can also affect the throat and the adjacent tissues. The most common type of swelling, however, is that of the thyroid gland, which lies low in the neck just over the windpipe. The doctor determines the presence of this type of disturbance by feeling with his fingers to know the exact position of the swelling. a a a THIS lets him know' whether it is due to an accumulation of fluid, a change in the glandular structure, or some other type of growth. It should be obvious that any swelling in your neck may represent a serious condition, demanding investigation and control. In most instances, removal of the spot of infection inside the neck or throat will result in a diminution of the size of the lymph glands that are swollen. In those cases in which the swelling is due to a tumor or a cyst, surgical attention may be necessary for cure.
