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.

I CHARMING LITTLE
RUNABOUT FROCK
PATTERN #333
The whole Fabric world echoes
with the words "Shantung.”—“Linen”
—“Pique.” The whole Fashion
world reflects “femininity" In its
styling, even when the styling Is de
cidedly Tailored! So take a cue, and
combine the two! For the casual llt
ile runabout frocks you need so
many of. Pattern 9333 Is the Right
\nswer. Charming In Its simplicity,
the yoke becomes a slashed excuse
for a sleeve and a note of femininity
is reflected In the simple bodice by
means of front and back tucks. The
clever detail of belt and pocket sub
tly conform* with the yoke styling.
Choose novel crystal, wood or cork
buttons.
Pattern 9333 may be ordered only
In sizes 12, 14. 10. 18, 20, 30. 32, 34,

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.

English Far in Lead
, in World’s Languages
How many people speak English
today? 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.

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.
