Beyond ufiscrlpiioiis ON THE WINGS OF A STORM The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid; the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound; thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thun der was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world; the earth tremb led and shook. Thy way was in the sea, 'and thy path in the great wa ters, and thy footsteps are not known. Thou leadest thy people like a flock.

The next move will be to slip it in the home without being caught. One reason we're convinced the schoolboy will get it in the neck is the announcement that soap Bales have increased the last year. : -o: That New York motorist who drove 30 miles sitting on a stick of dyna mite was in almost as much danger as the fellow who drives that far out side a pint of whisky. :o: Although we have no absorbing in terest in pugilism, we are willing to admit that the information that Berg won over Chocolate by a slight siade intrigues us. :o: ' It may or may not be true that there are 59 men running this coun try, but it's pretty close to a certain ty that there are 59,000.000 who can tell you exactly how it ought to be run. :o: Conditions in Peru are chaotic.

Christopher Columbus. He was Santo Domingo's first citizen In more ways than one. :o: PUBLIC RECREATION After about a quarter of a century cf promotional effort by civic asso ciations, municipalities have begun to bestow earnest attention on the matter of public recreation. In 1929, as illustrative of increased Interest, 945 cities devoted $33,539,805 to re creation purposes. This compares with a gross expenditure of $5,000,- 000 by two hundred cities ten years ago. Important capital Investments last year In parks and playgrounds total ed $4,501,172.26. These were cover ed by bond issues as follows: Cincin nati. $1,000,000; Philadelphia, $500.- 000; Montreal. $500,000; Louisville, $318,867; Miami Beach. $250,000; Mount Vernon, N. Y., $225,000; Pro vidence, $200,000; Hamilton, Ont. 164,000; Bismarct. N. D., $125,- 000; Dallas. $102,286; Evanston, 111.. $100,000, and East St. Louis, 111 68.000. ' Cities of all kinds are paying the penalty at present for neglect of the subject of public recreation. A little foresight years ago would not only have saved much money, but would have provided facilities which boys and girls and even adults could have been using. The growth of secondary cities, raising them into the class of congested large settlements, has, with the widespread expansion of city THE LADY DAWN Beyond all glory born a glow She steps the light air as a thing That walks yet does not walk but floats Upon a strange, translucent wing. She is the summer spirit of The long day that must weave and range The altitudes and deeps of love In a whispering weird and strange. Flowers are the carpet of her dream And birds the music of her path. And she is a wisp beside a stream Cryptic as ancient Amerath. little wind to stir her hair, A ray to burnish cheeks that know Rose to the beauty of the air. And the fresh dew of glow. Clasp her, and she is fast away, Dissolved in the energy of light That brought her the creature of a day To close the last chapter of the night. Faery aB ever the folk of mist That trip in fantastic dance the glade. She is the beauty of amethyst Called by mad men a maid. Baltimore Sun. planning and city zoning movements forced public officials and leading citizens to see that scarcely anything is of greater community value than recreation conveniences. Once upon a time the public square was regarded as all-sufficient. Later on, a large tract was considered de sirable as a picnic resort and place for big celebrations. Still later, ball grounds, tennis courts and golf courses, were opened. And then it was realized that neighborhood parks and playgrounds were needed. Now we perceive more than ever that it is recreation grounds and pavilions which are needed. Parks are not merely to look at or prom enade in or ride tnrough. They are put to a good use. Every city, no matter what its size, ought to have one large park But every city needs still more large number 01 neighborhood re creation resorts, which not only bet ter the health of rising generations but keep the young out of mischief :o: THE BED FLOOD The menace, danger and disaster of the Red flood constantly threat ening'the world amply is evident in the situation near Changsha and Wuchangfi and every day approach Ing near to Hankow, China. The Chinese Reds come ravening, looting, slaying, urged on by Mos cow, financed and led by Russian in fluences and agents. The Nationalist Government is hard pressed, foreign ers in the disturbed regionn imperil ed, foreign ships and gunbrats ready to receive fleeing fugitives and to render such protection to life and property as may be necessary and possible. It is situations such as this that should stir to righteous wrath all men and women in America who have not become enmeshed in the web of that "Internationalism" whose substance exudes steadily from the infamous crucible ceaselessly agitat ed by the "builders of a new civil ization" at Moscow. In America love for family has existed aB a thing of beauty; love for country, devotion and loyalty to country and flag a supreme virtue Bolshevism proposes the wreck of all that rational civilization has won It seeks to debase and weaken our army and navy in various ways, to belittle our national heroes, to poison our industrial economy especially to distill into American minds thoughts against our national defense forces. It seeks to supplant by the spurious teaching of a false pacifism and a hybrid internationalism the Americanism devised by our fore fathers, the Americanism which has erected and maintained a right gov erment. a free and industrious, a prosperous people. One has but to look to Russia It self, to India and to China at present in particular, to realize the evil of the Red curse which would dominate the world. :o: MBS. McCOBMICK. ASKS MB. NYE The Kansas City Star says: When Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormlck, Re publican nominee for the senate in Illinois, asks Senator Gerald P. Nye what he Is going to do about her in vestigation of his "methods and af filiations." she asks a fairly pertinent question. ' Senator Nye, as chairman of the senate committee investigating campaign expenditures, has consid erable power, and doubtless should have; but if his agents have broken into Mrs. McCormick's private office and even have invaded her living quarters, as charged, what did he sup pose would happen? Mrs. McCormick never has asked for special consideration because she is a woman. She went out, chal lenged the powerful Deneen organi zation in Illinois, licked it, and cap tured the senatorial nomination. Anyone who goes up against her in a political contest knows he is in for a real fight In which the policy of turning the other cheek is not fol lowed. If Senator Nye didn't know this he is finding It out now, and the answer to Mrs. McCormick's question as to what he is going to do about it must be rather baffling. :o: SAFER, IN SPITE OF "STUNTS" Because of the stunt flying that is part of the routine for army ana navy fliers, the common supposition is that these aviators run much great er risks than commerical fliers. How ever, figures recently made public by the Trevelers Insurance Company show that Just the reverse Is true. The army and navy filers enjoy a lower death rate from accidents than do the commercial transport pilots. The death rate last year among pilots holding Department of Com merce transport licenses and having at least 400 hours in the air was 29 per thousand. On the other hand, the death rate of commissioned pilots in the army last year was only eight per thousand, and in the navy was just ten per thousand. What the reason might be is not quite clear. Certainly the average transport pilot knows his Job as well as anyone could ask. Perhaps the strict regulations and discipline un der which service pilots operate tend to make their jobs a little more safe ; O : ELEANOR AND ALICE That Alice Roosevelt Longworth "maintained her traditional silence,' as the news item runs, after reading the frank opinion of her expressed by Eleanor Medill Patterson, editor of Hearst's Washington Herald, about all that she would be expected to do at the moment. The Patterson attack on Mrs. Longworth was vigorous and unexpected shock, an it was direct, personal, specific and strikingly open. Mrs. Longworth nec essarily would need time in which to regain mental poise and consider how to hit back effectively. Mrs. Patterson, who is the new editor of the Herald, introduced the signed, boxed, front-page editorial to the national capital in flaying Mrs Longworth. "Mrs. McCormick (who is nominee for the Senate from Illinois) takes no advice, political or otherwise," de clared Mrs. Patterson over her signa ture, "from Mrs. Longworth. Mrs Longworth gives no interviews to the press. Mrs. Lonworth can not utter in public. Her assistance will, there fore, revolve itself, as usual, into pos ing for photographs." Mrs. Patterson leaves no doubt that she can utter, and utter in public. It would be hard to find a more drastic and sweeping utterance than the foregoing. The Hearst editor is said to be equally hostile to Senator Borah Once upon a time, it is said, she em barrassed him with fulsome praise in news articles. Mrs. Patterson evidently intends to make the most of her opportunity in Washington. If everybody does not read the Hearst paper which she edits, it will not be because of want of courage or enterprise on her part Somebody will be obliged to answer her. Every combat will be first class advertising for the Kerald. A woman has keener preception than a man. She can be more caustic She can cut with utterance more sharply and deeply. A man might ridicule or criticize a public servant or politician. But it takes a woman to handle a subject as Mrs. Patterson has in this case. It will be interesting to read Mrs Patterson's discernment of the idio- syncracies and weaKnesses 01 tne men in public life in Washington A woman-editor shooting bombs into the senate and house, possibly also the cabinet, will be a pitiless pro ceeding, and she may make many a great man look like a fool. At that, it may be a good thing for all for a woman to puncture vanity and this a woman can do with merry finesse :o: LABOR AND THE TARIFF That the tariff is a boon to the American workingman has long been a stock .argument for the high pro tection policy, one that has been swallowed by the labor unions them selves. When our Industries were still struggling infants there was some cogency in the argument, but changes in economic conditions particularly the establishment of branch factories In Europe. Representative Knutson of Minnesota claims that American capital so invested abroad exceeds 20,000,000,000. That figure may be somewhat high; nevertheless, it II Iustrates an important trend. A surprising number of American corporations, including International Harvester, General Motors, Ford Eastman Kodak, American Radiator, General Electric, Westinghouse Elec tric and many others, are now oper ating factories In Europe. They are, of course, employing the European labor against whose competition the tariff is touted to operate. And why are American corporations building plants in Europe instead of manu facturing their products here and shipping them to Europe. One of the main reasons is to escape the re taliatory tariffs of foreign countries induced by our own high tariff walls. American labor may well wonder whether or not it has been duped by the protectionists. :o: Broadway, New York, is to have a meat shop without a butcher In sight or out of sight. There will be comfortable chairs, welcome solace to the shopping tired feet; mirrors and fittings pleasing to the eye. Meats will be displayed in refrigerated showcases and dispensed by trig salesgirls. The thing seems so ob vious, wonder is the public was kept waiting so long. :o: If there is no such thing as tele pathy, then how does a fly that is shut up In the bathroom with you know you haven't a swatter handy? THE TIGRESS IN POLITICS We believe women were txpected to uplift and purify politics, yet it remained for Mrs. McCormick to in troduce professional spies and snoop ers into political campaigning. When fighting Senator Deneen in the pri mary, she hired private detectives to pry into his private and official life. We do not know what use Mrs. Mc Cormick could make of her operatives' reports; but since she is not a woman given to vain and futile tactics, the supposition is she had some scheme for capitalizing the information so obtained. Now she has embarked on a more serious adventure that of employ ing detectives to shadow Senator Nye, chairman of a committee whose duty it is to investigate Mrs. McCormick's campaign expenditures. Mark Han na's astute daughter freely admits that she is spying upon Senator Nye and defiantly asks "What is Senator Nye going to do about it." She claims it is only a measure of self-defense, pointing out that some mysterious persons have used the same tactics on her. Her offices have been enter ed and her private files rifled, she says, adding that spies have been in troduced into her household and her telephone wires have been tapped. Is the inference to be gathered that Senator Nye and his committee are responsible? Apparently so. But in the absence of any proof it is hardly believable that a committee which has the power to subpena and ques tion witnesses, and which has the of ficial right to make any reasonable inquiry into Mrs. McCormick's expen ditures, should use Sherlock Holmes methods. It doesn't have to. Have we In Mrs. McCormick the tigress In politics? She believes in stalking her prey by the dark of the moon. Apparently she has very lit tle conception of the dignity attach ing to the office to which she aspires, or cares very little what she doe's to get to the Senate. Her famous strad dle on the wet-dry issue, bringing down upon her the contempt of both sides, gave her measure. After that exhibition, it Is not surprising that she should stoop to espionage. :o: CORN AND WHEAT ABM IN ARM When No. 1 white corn and No. 1 red wheat sold for the same price, 89 cents, on the Chicago Board of Trade, the other day, a situation existed which had not been known for many years. How much wheat ordinarily outsells corn can be seen by comparing the figures for a year ago. when wheat sold for around $1.40, corn for slightly more than $1 Before the war a common ratio was $1 to 65 cents. Simultaneously with the exchange of the two grains at identical figures, the Department of Agriculture announced that the value of wheat for feeding purposes was from 5 to 9 cents higher than the average farm price of wheat, and ex ceeded corn in -feeding value per bushel, inasmuch aB a bushel of wheat weighs four pounds, or 7 per cent, more than a like amount of 6helled corn. The Department infor mation is Interesting, but It won't be much of a suggestion to the aver age farmer, who must sell his crop when he harvests ia order to keep his business going. :o: ' Unemployment is not an academic question; it Is bitterly real. And yet the government at Washington chooses to Juggle unemployment fig ures to suit the fancy and purposes of partisan jobholders at a time when accurate information on labor condi tions is urgently needed.
