BRISBANE THIS WEEK One Thing Important Paid for Not Doing SfO a Month What Do We Want of Japan? One piece of news In the world Is Important to the United Slates. If Washington doesn't know It, the governments of Europe and Asia do know It. That news Is Amelia Ear hart’s flight, nonstop In eighteen hours, across 2,-fOO miles of the Pacific ocean, from Hawaii to the United States. All American citizens, espe cially those on the Pacific coast and elderly, out-of-date gentlemen who are supposed to provide for the de fense of this country, should ask themselves: If ii young woman, entirely alone, without sleep, no assistant to hell* with navigation, can fly, unseen, across the Pacific ocean and land In California to receive a hunch of roses, eighteen hours from Hawaii, what do you think five or ten thou sand powerful bombing nnd swift pursuit planes could do, coming from Asia or from Europe? Pennsylvania is an Important tobncco state. The government Is paying farmers not to grow tohacco. Just as It pays them elsewhere not to grow cotton or wheat nnd not to raise pigs. After you have spent your whole life driven by necessity’s lash to produce the utmost possible, this brings sweet peace to have the government pay you for not doing it. even if you can’t quite under stand It. Nobody has yet arranged to pn.v newspaper publishers for not writ ing editorials, but that may come, in the glorious new era, and, here nnd there. It might be a great bless ing. Washington reports that Presi dent ltoosevelt’s message to con gress about pensions for the old will suggest “only” $40 a month. The Washington correspondent who says “only” does not know what $40 a month would mean to millions of old people whose lives are made bitter not by deprivation, not by poverty, hunger or cold, but by the fact that they depend upon the cold charity of others, par ticularly on the charity of relatives. Give $40 a month to the old that are dependent and you will bring happiness into the last years of mil lions of lives, and that would be worthy of a great nation. The honorable Japanese chief of Information In the foreign office says the United States Is planning an attack on Japan. Any Japanese who believes It lacks the usual intelligence for which yon give all Japanese credit. Nations start wars because they want something. What does the United States want from Japan? Uncle Sam, In a mild fit of idiocy, is now giving away the Philippines, Asiatic Islands richer In resources than the Japanese islands. We got those Islands from the Spanish war. Should we start an other war. spend billions, kill many of our Japanese friends and burn up their country by fire bombard ment from airplanes merely to get more Asiatic islands, to be given away later? The thirst of the people means profit to the government. Uncle Sam during 1034 collected an aver age of more than $1,000,000 a day in litpior taxes, a total amount of $374,300,232. Beer alone yielded $200,000,000; spirits distilled in America. $121,000,00; imported spir its, $13,000.00(4; Imported wines, $6,000,000. Men will pay for what they want and endure taxation cheerfully. It is easy to understand why tens of millions follow the trial of Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnaping and killing of the Lindbergh baby with such intense interest. The trial Is a mystery In itself. Gradually un wound In court like the chapters in a detective story, it holds public attention, the horrible nature of the crime increasing the Interest tenfold. Eighty-nine Russian fishermen, living on the edge of the Caspian sea, ought to be grateful to the American Wright brothers that In vented the airplane. With their boats they had drifted ten days on an Ice floe and were starving. Along came a big Russian plane, flying low, to drop tiny parachutes that brought food, tobacco and al cohol. Then the fishermen, hope lessly lost, out of sight of land, got In their boats and the airplane guided them to the shortest route to shore. This reporter sat next to Amelia Earhart at a dinner recently, did not recognize tier, thought site looked, as the French say, "like somebody,” asked, “Do you write, fly, or what do you do?” She said, “I fly a little, and I write a little." Sho will have a great deal to write now. ®, King Features Syndicate, lue. WNU Service. Worth While to Get Child’s Idea Little One’s Point of View Should Be Regarded as Important. By MARY STAIICK KEKH, Nations) Kindergarten Association, New York. The family was getting ready for an auto ride. Little George was in the back seat of the machine, where he usually rode. But there was com pany today, and one of the guests was to sit in his accustomed place, j George objected, and as lie could not express Ills objection in words, since tie could not yet talk, he began to squirm and fret. "Never mind," said the visitor who was to sit In his place, as stie saw the worried look on the face of Ids mother, who was going to lift him over onto the front seat. "George will be all rigid; lie will sit on my lap; he is Just anxious not to be left out." "All right, you can try It; perhaps he will," said his mother. The visitor seated herself, took George on her lap, and peace reigned. Never was a child more content than little George all during the ride. When the visitors left, they were commenting on the good behavior of the little fellow, and one said, "I [ suppose the trouble we have with children often comes because we don’t understand wlint they are thinking, and they are too young to tell us.” "Yes," said the one who had held George. "If we can Just take their point of view, our problems will be much simplified; and after all, it Is not hard to see what is in a child’s mind, If we Just consider how we would feel if we were In his place. It becomes second nature when we are with children much, to under stand their thoughts and feelings.” As her companion agreed to this statement, she asked. ‘‘Do you re member little Charles, and how the nurse accused him of crying because of temper wiien he was only a few weeks old? The real cause was that they had waited too long to give him his bottle. "When the nurse left, and his ;— mother had to prepate his bottle, the baby cried while she was preparing it; he did not know she was at work getting ready to satisfy his hunger. I carried him into tne kitchen, where lie could see tier preparing the bottle, and at once his cries ceased. ‘‘Just Imagine how you would feel. If you were hungry, and unabie to move a step to get lend, and the per son in charge of you had left you, apparently ignoring your need." ‘‘I suppose we should cry Just aa hnrd as the baby did, if not harder,'* said her companion. "We are always expecting chil dren to understand us," said the oth er woman, “but we should remember that it is our place to understand them, and to take tneir point of view, for then we can do the things that will lead them to have confidence in us, to love us, and obey us.” THE REGULAR PRICE OP CALUMET BAKING POtUDER 15 NOLU ONLY 0 25^ A POUND J v /#ir THERE'S a real BAKING POWDER BARGAIN/ Now he’s called “Helpful Boh”! ppr~-g!^» ■" ....^ / PONT Even answer A HEY'B06-ARIMG f HIM.1 WHAT DOES HE / My MAIL OUT FROM l TAKE YOU FOR...THE ) Tom, will vou ? ^jftowv express ?j SAY-THAT SOUNDS fc^TH IS MEODIING j LIKE THE FIX I w/AS I BOSVBOOV 15 < IN WHEN I HAD ; DOING HIS BEST ) COFFEE -NERVES !
