Why Americans Win.
Women Are Sensitive.
What Do We Care?
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
- --
Ift England, on Saturday, the
pick of the British and American
Olympic teams competed in track
events. The meeting was a great
succpss—Americans winning 11 out
of 14 events.
Ip the first event, 400 yards re
lay;-Americans celebrated by break
ing the world’s record. That’s
gt&tifying to national vanity, but
what is the meaning of such a vic
tory, 11 to 3? Is it due to climate?
There is no doubt that our climate
is imore stimulating, more “nerv
otri!” than that of England.
Is the overwhelming American
victory due to the fact that ours
is a more thoroughly mixed race?
Thht Explains it partly.
But the real explanation is found
in,,'the fact that all Americans are
descendants of Europeans that had
this courage, energy and ambition
to ' get out of Europe. Courage,
energy and ambition are qualities
handed by father and mother to
son and daughter, and they are
qualities that win races, wars and
ot}jer things.
•Dr. Charles Gray Shaw, pro
fessor of philosophy, says women
ha(Ve more individuality and more
morality than men, “in spite of
thfcir bobbed hair, short sleeves,
cigarets, canes, etc.”
Of course, women are better, and
always have been. That is why men
have gradually changed from cave
caonibals to flat dwellers. Woman,
in!!{ier more reserved life, and great
er]'privacy, says Dr. Shaw, has de
veloped personality more intense
than that of tnan.
Women feel more intensely than
men; they resent injustice, cruelty,
undeserved suffering with an ear
nestness unknown to men. And
personality is only another name
foX intensity of feeling.
] how little we know, or care,
about earth’s distant places.
The Chu-Kiang has overflowed
it^' banks. We guess that the Chu
Kibng is in China. Streets of the
great city of Canton are flooded.
If;the dikes give way there will be
terrible loss of life. The Si-Kiang,
Ttfng-Kiang and Pei-Kiang, which
arb the west, east and north rivers
of that far off region, cause heavy
floods, villages are swept away.
It all means as little to us as
though we read that dikes had
given way on the canals of Mars.
Wb’re a provincial human race, as
ybt. Flying machines and a uni
versal language will cure us of
that, in 100,000 years or so.
France’s unfavorable trade bal
ance of half a billion francs was
changed last year into a balance
of; two and a half billions in its
favor. French exports last year
totaled more than 21,000,000,000
francs. Look at the size of France
op your world map and you will
realize what a marvelous people the
French, are, with their power to
manufacture, produce and save.
iff there were any way of freeing
Fhmce from its fears of attack,
enabling it to save billions now
spent for militarism, what wonders
It |would achieve.
One day Europe Will be a union
of states, in friendly competition,
sueh -as we have here, instead of
being an armed camp of war and
hatred. But that chnnot come in
this or the next generation.
|The only thing that might hurry
it would-be another and worse war,
with one nation and one man of
, thp Mussolini type coming out
ahead and forcing the others to go
to'work, instead of going to war.
But that could not last. Intelli
gence from within, not power from
without, must solve national prob
lems.

park lagoon the typewriter on which
the missive was written.
State OpposMi Conference.
The defense offered to Bubmlt the
ease on a statement of facts by the
state's attorney, but Mr. Crowe de
clined to agree. It also asked that
alienists employed by the state and
defense confer and "Iron out differ
ences," but again the prosecutor ob
jected.
"There could be no object In such
a proceeding unless those boys were
pleading both insane ahd giiilty,” he
said, "but If they are pleading In
sanity, the state wishes a hearing on
that question before a Jury.”
The defense explained that their
only object was to prevent the case
from becoming a "vaudeville show,”
but Judge Caverly held that he had
no power under Illinois law to order
such a conference.
Jacob Franks, father of the victim,
was outspoken In his denunciation of
this phase of the case.
"This talk about Insanity Is non
sense," he said. "If ever there was
a ease deserving the death penalty
this Is one. There Is some satisfac
tion, of course, In their pleas of
guilty, as that will save much time.”
Boys Unconcerned.
The prospect of a death sentence,
even after they had been warned of
its possibility by Judge Caverly, did
not noticeably faxe Loeb and Leopold.
They went back to their cells laugh
ing and talking eagerly and speculat
ing about the slxe of the headlines
their sudden change of front would
Inspire. Both scorned a suggestion
that they had been nervous at the
hearing, but admitted they were glad
"the first day was over.”
"Was Attorney Darrow’g move to
plead guilty a surprise to you?” they
were asked.
“We’re not allowed to say,” said
Leopold, quickly. “Ask us about any
thing else but ourselves.”
They did more questioning than
the reporters. They were curious
about the arrangements of the court
room and aeked how large a crowd
waited outside the building. Any In
formation* that fed their ego they
listened to eagerly.
"I’ll bet we’re all over the front
page," commented Loeb.
"There certainly was a commotion
when Mr. Darrow moved to plead
guilty," he added.
Precaution Against Suicide.
"Better not talk anymore about
that," cautioned the conservative
Leopold. ‘‘Let's talk about something
else.”

A Happy Surprise for Farmer Brown’s
Boy.
Every time that day that Farmer
Brown’s Boy looked up In the big
maple tree close by the house he dis
covered either Happy Jack Squirrel
or Mrs. Happy Jack. They were
there when he went In to dinner at
noon. They were there Just before
the Black Shadow* came creeping up
from the Purple Hill*. He was sure
If aaSi

they hadn’t gone hack to the Green
Forest once during the day.
“I never have known Happy Jack^
to stay around like this," said Farm
er Brown's Boy. "Always before he
has gone back to the Green Forest
before It was time for the Black
Shadows. I Wonder what It means."
By this time the Black Shadows
had arrived. Farmer Brown’s Boy
went out and looked all through the
big maple tree, but he saw nothing
of Happy Jack or of Mrs. Happy
Jack. "It must be they went hack to
the Green Forest while I was eating
my supper," thought Farmer Brown's
Boy. "I hope they'll come hack to
morrow.”
The next morning Farmer Brown's
Boy was up very early. He had
planned to go fishing, and he was up
before daylight. You see, he had some
work to do before he could go fishing.
It was Just after daylight that he
came out of the barn. He looked up
in the big maple tree. There sat
Happy Jack!
"Well, well, well1" exclaimed Farm
er Brown's Boy. "You must have left
(he Green Forest before dayilght to
get over here so early."
Then he happened to look half way
along a certain big branch, and there
*at Mrs. Happy Jack. While he was
looking at her she disappeared. He
remembered then that that branch
was dead and hollow. For a long

lme he fcad been planning to cut It
iff. A suspicion popped Into his head,
‘erhaps Happy Ja6k fend Mrs. Happy
lack had spent the night 1n that hoi
ow branch.
He went into the house to get his
breakfast. When he cams cut the
llrst thing he did was to look up at
:hat hollow branch. He- svas Just In
dme to see Mrs. Happy Jack whisk
nto that hole wttn some dry leaves.
“As I live!” exclaimed Farmer
Brown’s Boy. "I believe those Squir
rels have moved over here from the
Breen Forest. I believe they are
making their home In that hollow
branch. If they are. It will be great
fun. Perhaps by nnd by there will be
borne babies there.”
He hurried Into the house again to
tell Mrs. Brown what he had seen
and ask her to keep watch of that
hollow branch during the day. Then
he took his fishing pole and started
for the Big River.
Mrs. Brown was quite as much In
terested as was Farmer Brown's Boy.
Whenever she had a chance she
peeped out at the big maple tree
Several times she saw Mrs. Happy
Jack taking leaves and other thing?
Into that hollow branch. So when
Farmer Brown's Boy returned late
thal afternoon with a nice string of
fish for supper she told him what she
had seen.
“They are going to live here. There
Is no doubt about they are going
to be our neighbors!” cried Farmer
Brown's Boy Joyfully. "I'm glad I
didn’t cut off that dead branch when
I planned to. It will stay there now
as long as Happy jack and Mrs. Hap
py Jack w'ant to make use of It.”
