It has been a good many attention to birthdayvs— OfM or any other person's, There seems to be in my system some sort of a

constitutional objection to birthdays. I like to ignore other people's, and would thank them to do the same for me. So it was that I was caught short-handed and without a sign of a present when I arrived home and discovered that it was my Mother's birthday. So we made a joke of it and, being always brilliant in the pinches, I improvised a birthday present that is finer than anything money could buy (that is, if you only had a penny or two to spend). It was this way: My Mother, as many of you readers know, has been bound down to a tiny circle of life through four vears of semi-paralysis brought on by two strokes, a year apart, She is not entirely heipless--she can walk a few steps with support. She sits up all day; by the stove in winter, on the front porch in summer. She can even take rides in the car if there are two people around to help her in. But her right side is useless, and her right hand is becoming more and more drawn. Her hand is permanently closed And since her fingers lie constantly against the palm of her hand, the skin there has become acutely tender and sensitive,

Whittles a Present She alwavs grips & handkerchief in that hand, to take up perspiration. Yet the handkerchief itself generates heat, and the trouble continues, So I said to mvself, why couldn't she grip a piece of wood In that hand, instead of a handkerchief? It would hold her fingers off the palm of her hand, and allow the Skin to toughen again So I nosed around out at the garage, found a little stick of wood, sat down beside her on the front porch and started whitthng After a while she asked me what I was doing. I said I was making a stick for her to hold in her hand. My Mother has always had a delightful sense

Legend has it that Adelina Patti made her hist appearance in Indianapolis in 1855 when she was 12 years old; that she sang “Comin’' Thro' the Rye", that she was a member of a company of which her sister, Madame Amelia Strakosen, was the headliner, I wouldn't know anvthing about it. All I remember is that 1 heard her in 1894 by which time she was every bit of 50, It was supposed to be her “farewell” performance Madame Patti arrived on New Years Eve in plenty of ume to start the vear 18%4 in Indianapolis. She registered at the Denison. So did her husband, Ernesto Nicolini, and her musical director, Luigi Arditi. The 50 musicians she brought with her had to find beds as best thev could. From the looks of things, they found them within walking distance of the Denison because that very same night they all got together and serenaded Adelina »

A Regular Kissing Bee

The musicians met in a storeroom of the Denison around 11 p. m, ana immediately started tuning up. Towards midnight they carried their instruments upstairs to the hallway opposite the suite occupied by Madame Patti and her husband. Back in those days the rules of the Denison prohibited the taking of dogs and cellos up the elevator. They didn't have make any elevator rules about bull fiddles because thev couldn't get in even if they'd wanted to. When everything was ready, Arditi gave the sign to start the Zampa overture. Mr. Nicolini was the first to appear and when he caught on what it was all about. he went back to get his fiddle. By that time Madame Patti got wise. Anyway, when Mr, Nicolini came back with his fiddle. his wife rushed out and threw her arms around Arditi,. What's more, she offered him her cheek. Apparently, Mr. Arditi knew how to handle the situation. Fact is, he repeated the performance on the other cheek

of the ridiculous, and she has always laughed oh The incongruity of such a task set her to laughing. | Nowadays, when she gets to laughing, she can't stop. The way she laughed, you'd have thought I was a half-wit. After awhile, more in self-defense than anything else, I said, "I'm making it for your birthday ” Tha. was the wrong thing to say. If simply makng a plain old stick was the subject for riotous Jaughter, then making a stick for a birthday present was theroughly side-splitting. I began to think so myself, tut I kept on whittling. | Finally the stick was smoothed off, shaped to her | hand, and finished. Sne let me slip it underneath | her fingers. She was still laughing. She said if I'd] just sharpen the end of it a little, she could stab people with it. | After an hour or so, she said it was too thick, and | hurt her fingers. So I whittled some more, and | that seemed to work. She gripped it all the rest of the afternoon. And this morning when I came out to breakfast she | held up her hand with a knowing look, and there | was the stick, still with her. I am pretty close to the feeling that she is actually becoming proud of it. ” » »

The only other thing I recall was the tenor Madame Patti carried around with her.

She threw Mr. Lely off because she didn't know enough to keep time with her big ostrich fan. It turned out that the billing of Madame Patti in 1804 was a false alarm, She dwan’t give her “fare- | well” concert in Indianapolis until 10 years later, in 1904, On that occasion she sang “The Last Farewell,” a ballad expressly composed for her by Charles K.

67% Favor Compulsory Trainin

French Fall Spurs Rise, Gallup Finds

By Dr. George Gallup

RINCETON, N. J,, July 29.— As Congress grapples this week with one of the most controversial questions In months — whether to apply some system of compulsory military training in peace-time-—a new nation-wide survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion shows that there has been a further increase in sentiment for the conscription principle in the past month, every three throughout the United States 677.) now favor some form of compulsory training, as compared with 64 per cent in June and 59

per cent at the end of May, the survey shows,

The increase in sentiment in the last tour weeks is all the more striking in view of the fact that the subject was virtually hushed during the recent sessions of the Republican and Democratic national conventions, President Roosevelt referred te confpulsory training in his acceptance speech, but neither party platform took a clear or specific stand on the question, The comparative lull in the European war had also led some observers to predict a fall. ing-off in interest in the proposal among the rank-and-file,

But the Institute survey indicates that American opinion is more ready than before to abandon its traditional policy and apply compulsory military training in peace-time, “It's a question of trained manpower, just as much as a question of more tanks, guns and planes,” the typical voter says, “We'd be blind if we didn't immediately adopt some form of compulsory training—if only to find out what kind of material we've got.”

N successive Institute surveys since the Munich crisis of 1938 the following question has been put to persons in all parts of the United States and in all walks of life—to young men of military age, to older citizens, to men and women: “Do you think every ablebodied young man 20 vears old should be made to serve in the Army, the Navy or the air force tor one year?”

Numerous plans for compulsory training have been offered to Congress and discussed in sessions of the House and Senate Military Affairs committees. Public opinion may, of course, change as the subject is debated. In today's survey, however, the actual vote 18: Favor Compulsory Training 67% Oppose Compulsory Training 33%

From 37 per cent in favor of compulsory training following Munich, sentiment has risen to 67 per cent today. The greatest influences in creating today's majority sentiment were apparently (1) the defeat of Allied forces in the Battle of Flanders and (2) the capitulation of France last month, The trend of opinion on the Institute's question has been Favoring Opposing Comp, Comp.

military training or compulsory service, In this respect our experience has resembled that of Great

Britain, which applied compulsory military training only in the spring of 1939. Because of the intense interest which the question has aroused in all sections of the country--as well as in Congressional circles the American Institute of Public Opinion is now conducting =a further check on sentiment which will be reported state-by-state early in August, Analysis of the present survey reveals the fact that younger voters—who would be most directly and personally affected by compulsory training--are more evenly divided on the question than their elders. Even among voters in their twenties, however, a majority (62 per cent) say they would favor adoption of the compulsory principle The vote by age groups is:

In the past month, the greatest increase in compulsory training sentiment has occurred among men, the survey shows, While there was scant difference between the views of men and women on the subject a month ago, they divide as follows today:

Previous surveys have shown «1) that a majority ap=prove of greatly increased appro priations for the Army, Navy and air forces; (2) that a majority would be willing to pay new taxes for these purposes: (3) that the overwhelming majority favor a defense of this continent, by force, if necessary, rather than see the territories now owned by England, France, the Dutch and others fall into the hands of other European nations.

Hitler has destroyed the uneasy balance of power which hitherto has kept the JapaneseChina war from spreading to British, French, Dutch, and American possessions in the Pacific. So Hitler has given Japan her long desired opportunity to grab southeastern Asia and the rich Indies—at least that 1s what the Tokyo militarists think. It may not be as easy as that, But it is very tempting to Tokyo, and therein is the great aanger of general war in the Pacific. The tension increases: The President hastily Philippine commanders, ocean’ navy Tokvo asserts ageressive claims over Asia, and Washington challenges those claims.
