about: The State of the World. SANTA MONICA, CALIF.— Up in Montreal a veteran showman says he talks with chimpanzees in their own language. I wish he’d ask one of his chimpanzee pals what he thinks about the present setup of civilization. Because I can’t find any humans who agree as to where we all are

going and what the chances are of getting there. In fact, the only two who appear to be certain about it are young Mr. Corcoran and young Mr. Cohen, and they seem to hesitate at times—not much, but just a teeny-weeny bi t—which is disconcerting to the lay mind. We are likely to lose

confidence even in a comet, once it starts wobbling on us. I’m also upset by a statement from England’s greatest star-gazer —they call him the astronomer royal, which, by coupling it with the royal family, naturally gives astronomy a great social boost in England and admits it to the best circles. He says the moon is clear off its mathematically prescribed course. • • * Cash Versus I. O. U.’s. ONLY a few weeks ago the front pages were carrying dispatches saying the adjustment of Great Britain’s defaulted debt was just around the corner. Economists and financiers had discussed terms of settlement. Figures were quoted —mainly figures calling for big reductions on our part, but never mind that. They were figures anyhow. Lately the papers have been strangely silent on the subject. Perhaps you remember the old story told on the late John Sharp Williams, who frequented a game at Washington where sportive statesmen played poker for heavy stakes —mostly with those quaint little fictional products called I. O. U.’s as mediums of exchange. Early one morning a fellow senator met the famous Mississippian coming from an all-night session. “I certainly mopped up,” he proclaimed. “I won $3,000 —and what’s more, $8.75 of it was in cash.” • • • Autumn Millinery. JUST as the poor, bewildered males are becoming reconciled to the prevalent styles in women’s hats, up bobs a style creator in New York warning us that what we’ve thus far endured is merely a foretaste of what’s coming. In other words, we ain’t seen nothin’! For autumn, he predicts a quaint number with a slanted peak fifteen inches high, which, I take it, will make the wearer look like a refugee trying to escape from under a collapsing pagoda. Another is a turban entirely composed of rooster feathers. A matching coat of rooster feathers goes with this design. But in the old days they used hot tar. A third model features for its tophamper a series of kalsomine brushes sticking straight up. Naturally, the hat itself will imitate a barrel of whitewash. But the gem of all is a dainty globular structure of Scotch plaid. Can you imagine anything more becoming to your lady wife than an effect suggesting that she’s balancing a hot-water bag on her brow? • • • “McGuffeyisms.” THE lieutenant-governor of Ohio urges a return to “McGuffeyism” for settling modern problems. ’Twas in a McGuffey reader that I met those prize half-wits of literature —the Spartan boy who let the fox gnaw his vitals; the chuckleheaded youth who stood on the burning deck; the congenial idiot who climbed an alp in midwinter while wearing nothing but a night shirt and carrying a banner labeled “Excelsior” in order to freeze to death; the skipper who, when the ship was sinking, undertook to calm the passengers by—but wait, read the immortal lines: “We are lost!” the captain shouted, As he staggered down the stair. And then the champion of all—the Dutch lad who discovered a leak in the dyke so he stuck his wrist in the crevice and all night stayed there. In the morning, when an early riser came along and asked what was the general idea, the heroic urchin said—but let me quote the exact language of the book: “ ‘I am hindering the sea from running in,’ was the simple reply of the child.” Simple? I’ll tell the world! Nothing could be simpler except an authority on hydraulics who figures that, when the Atlantic ocean starts boring through a crack in a mud wall, you can hold it back by using one small Dutch boy’s arm for a stopper.

Washington.—The Supreme court of the United States has a new mem- _ ar ber, anc ^ to that Court Now extent, President Liberal Roosevelt has succeeded in reorganizing the highest court in the land. With the nomination by the President of Sen. Hugo L. Black, Alabama Democrat, and confirmation of that nomination by the senate, we find a Supreme court that stands for liberal interpretations of the Constitution by a vote of six to three on most questions. While it is important, of course, to know that Senator Black, the new justice, is nearly 100 per cent New Dealer, it is much more important to the country as a whole to think of Mr. Black hereafter as being fully aware of the reasons why he was selected to the lifetime job at $20,000 per year. It is likewise important to remember the reasons why Mr. Black was selected when one examines the so-called balance of power in the Supreme court. It seems to me that Mr. Black will enter upon his duties next October under one of the gravest handicaps that ever was set upon the shoulders of a Supreme court justice. Because of this handicap, and because of the reasons lying back of his appointment, I greatly fear that Senator Black can never be a great member of a great tribunal. In the first instance, his record in the senate, covering a period of ten years, has demonstrated to most everyone that he has a keen mind, but the fact remains, and I think it cannot be disputed, the new justice lacks the poise which always has been an attribute of outstanding judges. I hope he has the qualities that will enable him to grow and become a good justice from the legal standpoint; I hope this for the sake of the country as a whole and for the sake of the judicial structure of our government. But after observing him as an independent writer over the last ten years I think I would be unfair to those who read these lines if I did not characterize Mr. Black’s as a decidedly mediocre appointment. Again, the fact that nearly all Washington observers and a very great number of officials do not expect much legal wisdom from the new justice is traceable more to the conditions under which Mr. Black received the honor than to Mr. Black himself. Let us examine the reasons that lie back of Mr. Roosevelt’s selection of Mr. Black. In this case, as in the case of many lesser appointments, the motives, the politics, the underlying objectives have not been stressed anywhere. In order to understand the situation, it is necessary to review several years of history on one line and it is likewise necessary to examine various incidents marking Mr. Black’s career in the senate. Out of this maze of detail, certain significant and more or less definite conclusions appear. Along the one side of the examination we find Senator Black consist.ently supporting President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs whereever and whenever he found them. We note as well intolerance on his part for those persons and those arguments running counter to New Deal policies. Thirdly, we cannot overlook various senate investigations conducted by Senator Black for we know that in most of these he was carrying out orders from the White House. That is, Senator Black was engaged in expeditions of smear, of muckraking, and in needless exposure byway of senate investigations, in order that if there were flashbacks someone other than the President would be in the white light of criticism. Casting aside many of the assaults on Mr. Black’s personal record, and turning to the other phase of the situation that culminated in his selection for the court, it must be plain to anyone knowing all the facts that President Roosevelt had a definite purpose in selecting the Alabaman. This phase also requires a bit of review. • ♦ e When the President suddenly demanded that congress reorganize the Supreme court Court Split and make proviParty sion for the appointment of six new justices of his own choosing, he created an enormous split in the Democratic party. He alienated many sections of the South and at the same time provided many oldline southern Democrats with ammunition which they could use to justify their positions in opposing Mr. Roosevelt on many other phases of legislation. I do not mean to say that all of the southern Democrats turned against the President because that is untrue. There were possibly a half dozen senators from the South and an equal proportion of representatives who are sticking by the President and will continue to support him. That fact, however, does not alleviate the condition I mentioned, namely, the wide-open split in the party. Senator Black was among those who stayed with the President through thick and thin. He never was an exceedingly popular man among his colleagues. Add to this the capacity of using harsh language in the extreme and one finds that he was not the most popular choice among the senators for the job to which he has been elevated. From various quarters, therefore, I have heard observations to the effect that Mr. Roosevelt appointed Senator Black with full knowledge of the facts I have related. He could and did slap at some mem-

bers of his own party for failing to go along with him on the court packing plan and some other New Deal legislation like the wages and hours program. He showed certain groups and cliques in the senate ■ and house that he is boss. Then, in selecting a man from the deep South undoubtedly the Presi- ’ dent figured it would be influential j in pulling back to him some of the support which he certainly has lost among local politicians in the south- . ern states. Views of this test of political strategy differ greatly, but whether he gains or whether he ' loses on that score, there certainly is ground for belief that the reasons were as I have given them. There is also another reason for the appointment of Mr. Black. Os course, everyone realized that Mr. j Roosevelt would name a man of New Deal leaning. Moreoever, ev- , eryone recognized that it would be strictly a personal appointment as far as the President was concerned. So the stage was set for appointment of a man of more or less radical tendencies—but no one ex- ] pected the choice that was made. Now, the senate long has operated ( almost as a high class group. Ev- ■ ery senator considers his colleagues with great deference and respect. ; This is senatorial courtesy. Does it ; not seem quite reasonable then, to consider that Mr. Roosevelt went into the senate to pick a new justice with the full realization that the nomination would be debated in gentlemanly fashion; that senatorial courtesy would tone down the barbs and the darts and the personal attacks that would probably obtain if the name of a private citizen were submitted? I cannot know the President’s mind, obviously, yet I have heard these conc’usions stated so many times tha. they cannot be wholly disregarded. New Dealers consider the appointment clever from the standpoint of senate debate, and those opposed to the New Deal called it a smart trick. So there is very little disagreement. • • • I called attention earlier to the effect of the conditions under which Mr. Black enters May Solidify the court. I think Court examination of them is vital. They are important for the reasons I have set down and they are important from another standpoint. It is pure conjecture, of course, but I am going to mention the possibility that Senator Black’s entry into the court membership may possibly create resentment among the other justices. Each of them will certainly know about all of the various undercurrents, the gossip, and the more or less obvious facts involved in the appointment. I have been wondering then whether the other members of the court, even liberal members like Justices Stone. Brandeis, and Cardozo, may not feel that Mr. Roosevelt has subjected them to undignified terms. I mean by that, is there not a possibility of them feeling that the President is seeking to gain decisions along his own line of reasoning rather than on the basis of justice and law? As I said, this is pure conjecture. ! Nevertheless, I think it will be agreed that it is a logical thought, because the Supreme court justices, after all, are just as human as you and anyone else. Carrying this thought a little further, what will be the effect upon the old conservative members of the court like Justices Mcßeynolds and Butler and Sutherland? Will they re- ( gard the Black appointment as a direct thrust at them personally? If they do, it seems to me the logical result would be to make them more conservative than they now are. I do not mean to imply dishonesty or unfairness to any member of the court. I know some of them personally and I respect every one of them. I merely call attention to these things as among the possible results in the appointment of a man to the Supreme court who may have been not the worst appointment possible but surely, all conditions considered, it was far from the best. Politically, the Black appointment is likely to enter into the 1938 congressional elections. There seems no way by which the matter can be avoided as an issue. It is only through those elections of senators and representatives that the people can express themselves, and nearly everyone agrees now that the name of Justice Black will enter into numerous state and district political battles. This is one of the tragedies of the whole situation. The court structure of the United States long has held the confidence of the people. To have the name of one Supreme court justice dragged into the various political battles is bound to undermine the faith that most people have held in the federal courts. I have stated heretofore in these columns that the gravest aspect of Mr. Roosevelt’s proposal to pack the Supreme court was that it would shake the confidence of the people at large in the courts and, therefore, in government. This already has been proved true because seldom, if ever, in the past has the Supreme court been subjected to the unwarranted attacks, even the demagoguery that has characterized congressional debates in the last five months. It will take many months—indeed, many years —to restore the confidence that heretofore existed. But, it has already happened and the only thing that can be done about it is for the people to make sure that high-caliber judges are elected or appointed in the future. Western Newspaper Union.

ADVENTURERS’ CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES ‘ OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI “What’s in a Name?” By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter YOU know, boys and girls, when old Bill Shakespeare asked, “What’s in a name?” he didn’t seem to think that names made very much difference. But I guess Bill could find plenty of people to give him an argument on that subject. One of them is John T. Smith of Ozone Park, N. Y. John Smith isn’t such an unusual name, when you come to think of it. Nor was John such an unusual sort of a fellow. At the time this story opens —around April 1, 1935—he was working as a plumber’s helper for a large concern that kept its own medical staff. One day, while threading a piece of pipe. John cut his finger. That isn’t an unusual occurrence, either. But add those things all up together, and they’ll give you the strangest doggone predicament that ever a man got into. John paid no attention to his cut finger, but tvzo or three days later it had begun to swell up a bit. His foreman took a look at it and told him he’d better report it to the company doctor. The doctor was pretty busy. He looked at John’s finger, asked him his name, and told him to get the necessary papers from his boss and report at the hospital. “I’ll notify the hospital you’re coming.” he told John. “Be there at eleven o’clock.” Sent to Hospital for Small Operation. John got the necessary papers from his boss and showed <up at the hospital on the dot of eleven. He had had an infected finger before, and knew pretty well what was done about it. They froze the finger, slit it open with a lance, bandaged it and sent you on home. But it seemed to John that this hospital took a lot more trouble over a sore finger. A nurse took John’s name and said, “Oh yes, we’re expecting you.” She told him to take a seat in the waiting room, and there John waited for an hour. Then the nurse came back and took him upstairs, opened a door and led him into a room. A few minutes later another nurse >1- r- V 'All I've got is an infected finger.”

came in with a bed jacket. “Take your clothes off and get into bed,” she J told him. Well sir, it began to look to John as if someone had made a < mistake. “Do you know what's the matter with me?” he asked the nurse. “Os course we do,” the nurse replied. “Well then i what's all this fuss about?” John wanted to know. “Oh, we do things right in this hospital,” she said. And with that she left the room. John was ready to agree with the nurse. Here was a big, luxurious ! 1 private room, a swell looking nurse, and all kinds of service, over nothing ■ i but a sore finger. Do things right in that hospital? You’re doggone ' ’ tootin’ they did. John undressed and got into bed. By that time it was j : three o’clock, and the boss would be wondering where he was. When l the nurse came in again he asked her how long he’d be kept there. “Why.” said the nurse, “YOU'RE GOING TO STAY HERE OVER NIGHT.” They Wouldn’t Listen to John. “I thought she was kidding me,” says John, “but I found out different. In a few minutes in came a doctor with a third nurse. The nurse jabbed a needle into one of John’s fingers, but it wasn’t the sore finger. John tried to tell her she had the wrong one, but she snapped, “I know what I'm doing,” and John shut up. After a while he said, “Say, do you know what’s the matter with me?” The doctor said yes. The nurse paid no attention at all. She thrust another needle into his arm and shot in some sort of drug. The drug made John feel tired. He wanted to go to sleep, but by that time he was pretty sure something was wrong. He was beginning to get scared. The drug dulled John's brain, but he fought off the drowsiness that was coming over him. Two more nurses came in with an orderly who was pushing a table on wheels. They put John on the table and wheeled him off to an operating room. John roused himself from the stupor the drug had put him in and once more he asked. “Are you sure you know what’s the matter with me?” “But my voice was weak,” John says, “and they paid no attention to me. I began to feel sick as w'ell as weak. I could see all sorts of instruments laid out on the tables around me. The orderly wheeled my table under a big flood light. The nurses began getting ready a lot of bandages. Then I knew something was wrong. They were going to perform some sort of a BIG OPERATION. And Did the Doctor Laugh Then! “I looked for the doctors. There were three of them, talking together in a corner. That was where I made my last desperate effort. I was almost passing out from the effect of the drugs I had been given, but I managed to raise one arm and motion one of the doctors over. “That doctor was the only one who would listen to me, and thank God he did, for another nurse was coming over with the ether and in another minute I would have been unconscious. I said. ‘Doctor, are you sure you know what’s the matter with me? Are you sure you’ve got the right man? What’s all this fuss about Anyway? All I’ve got is an infected finger.” Well sir, the doctor lifted the sheet that they’d thrown over John and took a good look at him. Then he started to laugh. But it wasn’t any laughing matter to John. He had almost gone through an operation he didn’t need! John never did find out what they were going to do to him. Maybe they were only going to take an arm or a leg off. Then, on the other hand, they might have been going to do something really serious. But what he does know is that his name got him into that jam. There are just too doggone many John Smiths in the world, and our John Smith had almost got himself cut open on account of another John Smith’s ailment. | When the doctors got through laughing they told one of the nurses | to dress John’s finger. Then they put him back to bed. They told him he’d have to stay there all night because of the drug they’d shot into his arm. | But as soon as the nurse was out of the room, John put on his clothes and beat it out of the hospital. There were too many John Smiths in the world to take any chances. ; Any minute they might bring another one in, and then they were liable to have John down in the operating room again, sharpening up the knives and breaking out the ether. © —WNU Service.

Much Dust in the Lungs There is precipitated in the lungs of the average man during the course of a single year more than 1.2 pounds of various dusts. The average dust fall in a large city is approximately 230 tons per square mile per month, according to an investigation. An adult takes into his lungs more than 500 cubic feet of air each day. This air, in passing through the respiratory organs, which are constructed as a perfect filter, precipitates practically all of its dust with the incidental germs.

His letters to the newspapers caused _ , more people to hit See s Letters the ceiling than Make People did his elevators. Hit Ceiling Just now his A - Bbee Elevator company, which he founded fifty-four years ago, is being dissolved and its properties sold to Westinghouse. It is hoped he now will have time to catch up with his letter-writing. His son, Alva B. See, who has managed his business affairs recently, did not follow in his father’s pen-tracks. Mr. See’s first big turn in the headlines came in 1922 with his insistence that, for the good of all concerned, we ought to burn down all the women’s colleges. He was a vehement opponent of feminine education, “beyond knowing their A B C’s forward and backward.” In support of this view, he offered the findings of his own research, which were that women’s brains were, on the average, five ounces lighter than men’s brains. “No college woman can be a fit parent,” he contended. He assailed pedagogues, and all contemporary educational techniques, writing and publishing a book called “Schools,” in 1929, in which he insisted education should be “under the guidance of men who have the intelligence to own and run ! a shop.” He was a porcupine individualist, । denouncing governmental parasites । . and tax-eaters and Betes Noir by hinting that HerThousands bert Hoover ought Enrage Him J° examined for his sanity in governing by commission.

Most businessmen, when they get angry about something, sluice it off in some dessicated chamber of commerce committee which takes all the sap out of it. Dissent is too refined these days. I once got all the “Letters to the Editor’’ contributors together at a picnic and published the first photograph of “Vox Populi’’ ever taken. They were a quarrelsome lot and we almost had to call out the militia, but you couldn’t help liking them. • • • SENATOR ELLISON D. (COTTON ED) SMITH of South Carolina still follows the cotton boll as his political lode star. Like other southern senators, he “Cotton Ed” has been shaken Far Off-Base off-base by the rein Party Split ce ^ Democratic r split, but now he is out for the New Deal subsidy medicine, “to keep excesses off the market.” Seventy - three - year - oid Senator Smith, in congress 29 years, has a sizable cotton patch which was granted to his family by George 111 in 1747. In the senate, he has been the leading champion and defender of cotton. With his southern colonel’s blow-torch mustache, and his chivalrous defense of southern womanhood, he is the most authentic survival of the days of “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman. He walked out on the Democratic convention last year, because they had a negro speaker. He remarked, “I don’t believe in the Fourteenth or Fifteenth amendments.” As chairman of the agricultural committee of the senate, he is an important figure in the reshaping of farm legislation, to be taken into account in the new agrarian drive for subsidies. • • • XT ORMAN EBBUTT, Berlin correspondent of the London Times, loses his four-year battle against Nazi opposition. The Ger- . man foreign office Boot of Nazis asked the Times Is Applied to to withdraw him u cll n and makes it clear Herr Ebbutt that this not done, he would be expelled. This is the culmination of continuous disagreement between Mr. Ebbutt and the Reich. The foreign office asked that he be replaced by a correspondent who will “more nearly reflect the official version of the achievements of the regime.” Mr. Ebbutt has written his own and not the official version of events in Germany. In 1933, Mr. Ebbutt was president of the Association of Foreign Correspondents in Berlin. The day before the election which put Hitler in power, he wrote a dispatch in which he said many citizens were afraid to vote for fear of watermarked paper or invisible ink which would reveal them as oppositionists. This angered the Nazis and they demanded retraction. He sent another dispatch, substantiating his story. Many times threatened with expulsion, he has stayed on the job—until now. © Consolidated News Features. WNU Service. Public.
