Chivalry Toward Mate Evinced by Male Rat We have been libeling the rat. When we called a man a rat we felt that he was given the lowest designation possible. But we were wrong, says a writer In the New York Herald Tribune. We have the word of a scientist for this fact, Dr. A. M. Haln of the Institute of Animal Genetics, Edinburgh. Gal lantry Is almost Invariably manifest ed In the male rat. he states. It Is not Infrequent, he stated, for rats to show Ineompatablllty In their cages, but he described an unusual case of an attack by a female on a male that was placed In her cage She forced the male to the corner of the cage on his hind legs. She at tacked him If he tried to let his fore paws down. She then carried hay to that corner and filled It to the full height of the cage, completely Inclos tng the male rat and shutting him from her sight, The situation con ttnued for about sli or seven hours when a truce was apparently ar ranged. “The male made no pro test. manifesting a gallantry which Is Invariable In the male rat," stated Doctor Haln.

WNU—U 25—35 I BRISBANE THIS WEEK Paroles and Ransom Vincent Astor’s Hotel Mussolini Is So Blunt The Brain Bath Waley, the Weyerhaeuser kid naper, caught after he sent his Arthur llrlshanr wire, like a true gangster cow ard, to change ransom bills for him, has this record: He had been arrested six times, begin ning at eighteen, and sentenced to terms In prison that would have kept him in prison for 75 years If parole boards had allowed It. He was repeatedly released until at last, thoroughly trained in crime and convinced, probably, ns he might well be, that American Jus tice Is a mere Joke, he went to Tacoma and planned there the "snatch,” as criminals call it, of the Weyerhaeuser child. Highway patrolmen in the west ern states did admirable work co operating with the “G-men." The western highway patrolmen are real policemen. Mr. Vincent Astor of New York has bought In and will operate the St Regis hotel on Fifth avenue, built originally with Astor money, now repurchased for $5,090,000. An Astor running a hotel Is noth ing new. You need not be very, very old to remember the gray gran ite “Astor House,” a block long, op posite the City Hall on lower Broad way, where they had roast beef such as you find nowhere now. Before prosperous Americans learned to be really “arlstocrntlc” with yachts, race horses and di vorces, they thought owning a hotel and putting your name on It was almost aristocratic. The Astor House and the Brevoort House In New York, and the Palmer House in Chicago, the Coates House In Kansas City, a thousand others prove It. Mussolini annoys England; he talks so plainly—no diplomatic beat ing about the bush. Bluntly he says to old Britannia: “When you were building up your empire, killing off the Boers to grab South Africa, tak ing India from the pot-bellied ra jahs, gathering In everything that was not tied down, you did not care tuppence what the world thought about you. Now it Is my turn to gather In territory, maybe Ethiopia, and I care less than half of tup pence what you think about It. So mind your own business, please." Important to the humnn race Is news of the “brain bath,” which, ac cording to physicians gathered at a convention of the American and Canadian medical associations, lit erally “washes the brain,” freeing It from the poison of diseases such as Infantile paralysis. St. Vitus’ dance, sleeping sickness and some kinds of spinal meningitis. A solution of salt and water Is in jected into the vein at the ankle. After It has gone through the cir culation and washed out the brain, it Is withdrawn with Its collected poisons through a needle inserted in the lower end of the spine. Newsdom, written for newspaper men, says it has questioned all ed itors and publishers that amount to unything, and finds them “over whelmingly certain that radical movements are of no serious trend.” The discovery will comfort many, but it is well to be cautious. There Is always a possibility of underesti mating what looks like “radicalism of no importance.” China, because she cannot do oth erwise, yields in full to Japan’s de mands. This Is the news from Tientsin, and It happens because the 400.000,000 Chinese are not pre pared for war, whereas the (X).uoo, 000 Japanese are prepared. “Yielding” probably will mV save China from another heavy loss of territory. It is predicted that the young Chinese emperor, Japan’s fig urehead In Manchukuo, will be moved over and back to the old Im perial palace, there to sit again as the Japanese imperial dummy. “What’s in n name?" Some young Republicans want the old Repub lican party to change its name from “Republican party" to "Constitu tional party.” Long ago, when the New York Herald, since dead, re duced its price, the late Joseph I'ulitzer wrote in a short editorial: “The trouble is not with your price, it is with your newspaper. Change that.” The trouble with the Republican party is not with its name. A dangerous strike is called off in Toledo, workmen wisely decidiug to deliberate before going ahead with a strike that might have thrown tens of thousands out of work. ©.

It is hard to answer with any precision, but an approximation is nevertheless possible. First, let us list those to whom English is their native tongue. They run to about 112.000. 000 in the continental United States, to 42,000,000 in the United Kingdom, to 6,000,000 in panada, 6.000. 000 in Australia, 3,000,000 in Ireland, 2,000.000 in South Africa and probably 3,000,000 In the remaining British colonies and the possessions of the United States. All these figures are very conserv ative, but they foot up 174,000,000. Now add the people who, though born to some other language, live in English speaking communities and speak English themselves in their daily business and whose children are being brought up to it—say 13. 000,000 for the United States, 1,000, 000 for Canada (where English is gradually ousting French), 1,000,00O for the United Kingdom and Ire land and 2,000,000 for the rest of the world—and you have a grand total of 191,000,000. Obviously, no other language is the everyday tongue of so many peo ple. Russian is spoken as first choice by no more than 80,000,000 of the 150,000,000 citizens of the U. S. S. It.; the rest cling to one or another of the hundred odd lesser dialects in which the BolsbevikI are forced to print their official litera ture. German follows with a grand total of 85.000,000. Whether French or Spanish comes next is in doubt, but neither can show more than 55, 900.000. Italian is the runner-up, and the rest of the European lan gauges are nowhere. Nor is there any rival to English In Asia; for, though Chinese is os tensibly the native tongue of more than 300,000,000 people, It is split Into so many mutually unintelligible dialects that it must be thought of less as a language than as a group of languages. Thus English Is far ahead of any competitor. Moreover, it promises to Increase its lead hereafter, for no other language Is spreading so fast or into such remote areas.—H. L. Mencken in Harper’s Magazine. No Place for Good Old Mule in Modern Armies I Ten thousand spectators looked on with bewilderment, officers with a score of years’ service stood by in amazement. There was “something wrong" as the 12,000 troops at Schofield barracks, largest army post in the United States, passed in review before MaJ. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, new commandant of the Ha waiian department. Infantry brigades passed on In rank after rank; tanks rumbled and roared and lurched; motor trucks of the field trains sped across the huge field; signal corps cars with their loads of carrier pigeons raced along; light field artillery and the heavy guns swept past the review ing stand; bands tooted and thumped —but there was something decidedly wrong, something missing. It was the good old army mule. Not a single mule had been used. It was the first time in the history of the Hawaii department that a complete divisional review had been staged without the appearance of any mules. The review was com pletely motorized. Odd Beauty Standard Despite the 20-year prohibition, women still bind their feet in many part of China. In Hwaiking, foot bound women and girls are far more numerous than those with normal feet. The bride’s beauty on her wedding day is not her face or her figure, but the beauty of her feet. ■ 1 [crochet collar OF MEDALLIONS Bt GRANDMOTHER CLARK No matter what state you live In, you will find the women Interested in crocheted collars.

WHOSE WORD WILL YOU TAKE FOR BLOWOUT PROTECTION? Are you accepting the judgment of men who risk their lives on their tires and know from experience the tire that gives them the greatest blowout protection? Thirty-three race drivers and their mechanics lined up for the dangerous, gruelling grind of the 500-Mile Race at the Indianapolis Speedway May 30th. Firestone Tires were purchased and used on every one of the thirty-three cars. Kelly Petillo won the race at an average speed of 106 miles per hour. Wilhur Shaw was second, dashing across the finish line just behind the winner. Both drivers broke the track record without tire trouble. In fact, not one of the thirty-three drivers had tire trouble of any kind. Gum-Dipping is one of the outstanding reasons why Firestone Tires give such amazing performance. It is a patented extra process not used in any other make of tire. When you realize that last year 43,000 accidents were caused by blowouts, punc tures, and skidding, you will understand how important it is for you to protect your life and the lives of others by equipping your car with Firestone Gum-Dipped High Speed Tires—the safest tires built. It will be worth your time to read these three questions and their answers: Question t—"Will the tread give me the greatest traction and protection against skidding?" ANSWER—Leading university tests show Firestone High Speed Tires stop your * car 15% quicker than the best of other popular makes of tires. QUESTION 2—"Are they built to give me the greatest blowout protection?" ANSWER Unequaled performance records for sixteen consecutive years prove that Gum-Dipping gives you the greatest blowout protection ever known. Question 3—"Without sacri ficing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buy?" ANSWER—Thousands of car owners report unequaled mileage records— evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of Firestone High Speed Tires. -^ 1 University tests shovr'^^ FirestoneTires stop cars^n _15 to 25% cjuicker. j&jhk 2 Gum-Dipped cords Ml give greater blowout y protection.
