ROMANTIC WAR MEMORIES An unfortunate thing about a memorial day designed 'especially for the war dead is that past wars tend to become romantic. It has always been dims the horrors and softens the outlines. Memory holds fast to generous and heroic things, letting the rest slip into oblivion. It might be better in the long run if there were a greater effort made to keep alive the grief, hardship and horror. All the poetry, pa- troitism and religion in the world cannot make mass- slaughter a decent and lovely thing.

Righteous wars? All wars are righteous to the people fighting them'. And usually, as later history reveals, they have.not known what they were fighting for. Some wars of defense must still be fought, in a. world more primitive and wicked in the mass than individually. But there is much" to be said for the historic epigram, "there never was a good wav nor a bad peace." We need to havi such pospel preached, even while perfunctorily strengthen I jur own defenses.

The only observance of Me- Day is to drop sen- tftnental talk about "glory," rgcognizing that there is nothing really glorious about -war, honoring' the slain with tears for the sacrifice they and their loved ones had to make, and pledging ourselves to do everything possible to live at peace hereafter with other AUTOMOBILE PEAK Anyone would know from observing new cars on the road that it is an excellent year for the automobile industry. Statistics prove it. Detroit reports indicate a total output of 5,000,000 cars this year. It will be about the average of the years immediately preceding the depression. In 1929 the output reached its peak, 5,600,000 cars.

That height may be reached or surpassed next year. There are apparently as many cars in use again as there were before the depression. The highest registered total was 26,545,000 motor vehicles in 1930. Next year we shall probably surpass that record. How about the roads on which all these cars run? Unless memory of pre-depression traffic is deceiving us, this vast number of cars get around much more easily on the streets and highways than they used to.

And they should, for several reasons. Thoroughfares are better engineered and better paved, better lighted and better provided with traffic lights and police supervision. People on the whole drive more skilfully. The cars themselves are more easily controlled and operated, with more speed. This last factor probably operates mathematically to keep the roads clearer, avoiding the traffic jams of 1928 and 1929.

When cars all move faster, as they do now, they take less time on the road. That makes more space between cars. People who want to build 'are so shrewd that most of them will wait till prices then they'll all want REAL ESTATE TAXES There is widespread interest in a Michigan tax proposal which, by constitutional amendment, would abolish general property taxes and tax real estate only on its income. As explained by Herbert U. Nelson, secretary of the National Association of Real Estate Boards: "The tax will be placed on the annual rental of the property, and in the case of private properly occupied by the owner it would be on an estimated annual rental value." On vacant property producing no rent or other income here would be no tax.

The same is true of personal property paying no income. In a general way the idea of taxing income or profits, rather than property, seems sound. Income taxes are the fairest of all taxes. The injustice of taxing unprofitable real estate when it produces nothing to pay the tax with has been demonstrated during the depression, when millions of owners were ruined thereby, and lost their property. It is illuminating to learn that, while Americans pay 58 per cent of the cost of government on real property, England pays only 19 per cent in this way, France 12 per cent, Italy 11 per cent and Belgium 1 per cent.

Americans are literally being taxed off the land. There has been accordingly a movement towards more rational taxation, appearing in various states in the form of constitutional limitation of tax rates on realty. One extreme, however, Blight be as bad as the other in this matter. If all taxes are removed from nonpaying real estate, won't people buy it in large quantities and hold it out of use, for speculative purposes? MAN ABOUT MANHATTAN fly GEORGE TUCKER NEW of you who believe In the Infallibility of Sherlock Holmes should consider the mystery of Richard Gordon's truant canine. Finding his dog gone, the actor advertised in'the papers where his estate Is located, i Promptly there a reply from William Gillette, who wrote the play land created the part of the famous sleuth In the production of "Sherlock Holmes."

Gordon used to play Holmes himself, on tho radio. To the Riverside. Drive penthouse apartment of Carmela Ponselle, the opera chanteuse, there was delivered recently a fascinating request.

Miss Ponsello has one of tho most famous penthouse gardens In New York, and the author of a magazine wanted her to write an article on how to combat the Japanese beetle. The coming summer threatens a further Isvaslon by the pests, the editor assured her, and would she oblige, with an effective suggestion as to their extermination? Plucking stationary and pen from her Italian carved desk, the singer assured the editor that she would be delighted to write such an I haven't had much experience, really," she warned. "You see, one Japanese beetle visited us towards the end of last despite our best died on our hands." of the fascinating little details that comes to light in a conversation with any hostess on a TWA plane Is that she- Is really a reporter.

JN VAIN" iBf rotum be; Wotld HIM Married Comrades A Sequel to "Given in Marriage" By Adele Garrison Dicky and Madge Decide to See Sam Brixton First "TALK TO Sam Brixton before we aee Ronald!" 1 echoed, thoroughly startled by Dicky's proposal. "You heard me the nrat time," my husband gibed good-naturedly. "But I'41 repeat It to you slowly.

I think It might be a good thing to see Sam Brixton beforo we go to New Haven. Ten to one, Ronald Is exaggerating this know how highly strung.he we ought to know how things really stand beforo wo stick our mixing spoon into the batter." "I suppose you are right," I said briskly, sudden have to do the talking to Sam Brixton. I can't bear the sight of the man." "WhatI" Dicky ejaculated In patent, consternation. delicate, embarrassing situation like that! I should simply mess It up. Look here! I'll do all the preliminary sapping and mining, and I'll be standing by In case of casualties, with my first aid kit right In my hand, but when It cornea to the gossamer diplomacy thing, you're not going to let your old man down, are you?" His voice had In It the "coax-the- blrdS-off-the-bushes" cadence which Dicky always finds so effective, but which, to do him justice, he uses only In emergencies such as he believed his present problem to be.

Must Him It Is a cadence to which I generally rtspond. But I think I should have successfully resisted Its lure In this matter of Interviewing Samuel Brixton, whom I heartily dislike and distrust, had It not been that the fantastic scheme for rescuing Ronald from his financial difficulties which had come to me would necessarily Involve dealing with the boy's stepi- father. The transaction I vlsloned, without much hope, however, of its success, would need Samuel Brlxton's active co-operation. There were reasons, cogent ones, why Just at this, time I could not take Dicky Into my confidence, and I know that Harry Underwood must be kept In Ignorance of my project, Lillian must know even before I broached the to Brixton, but If things went right, as I hoped they would, It would be unnecessary for Helena Brixton and her young daughter, Carolyn, ever to dream that there had been danger of financial ruin coming Into their lives. How much Ronald would have to know about my scheme would depend upon circumstances.

until I could get back to the farm and aee Lillian, I could only deal In generalities and promises more or leas vague either to Ronald or his stepfather. My spirits, rny cournco anil my resolution donated so that I found It difficult to voice the answer to Dicky's anxious, coaxing query. But I knew that It must be answered, and I finally brought out a response that I hoped did not sound too forced. "'I never will desert Mr. Mlcaw- ber'," I quoted, and Dicky chuckled In relief.

Arrive at Building 'I counted on that," he said shame. lessly, and then, as ho again sent the car along at an accelerated pace, he threw me a bit of needed advice. "Better work your brain fast," he said. "Bflxton's offices are downtown you know, not BO very far from the end of the tunnel. We shall be there In very little more than nothing flat." His flamboyant prediction did not seem so far out ot the way to me when we finally drew up on a side street near the skyscraper in which Samuel Brlxton'a offices are housed, Absorbed In frantlo speculation as to what I should say to the man I so heartily disliked, I had paid no attention to time or distance, and -the Interval between Dicky's last remark and our arrival seemed miraculously short.

Dicky jockeyed the cor Into a good parking place, and when ho had sprung out and sU'en mo his hand for my courtesy ha never neglects and which I have learned not to ran up the windows, locked the car and fell Into step beside me. "Do you remember the number of Brlxton's offices, or tho floor?" be asked. "I never knew them," I said has-' Illy, and Dicky chuckled. "Defending the memory?" ho gibed. "You needn't I'm perfectly aware that It you ever heard them so much aa whispered, you'd have them pat But what's the need of knowing them? know what building houses the gentleman, and there's always a directory on the walls.

And at least, have learned how to read. Step on the gas, sweet, or In other words twirl your tootsies. Sammy must be In by this time unless he's the world's champion sleepy head." (Continued Monday) (CowHght, 1336, K. F. Inc.) LITTLE BENNY'S NOTEBOOK By LEE PAPB THE WEAKLEY NEWS.

COPELAND, M. D.

United States senator from New York former ComwiUiloner of Health, Keto York CUv "SCATTERED ALONG the high, ways ot cation each year are more than a million persons Injured by automobile accidents, and In the homes ot the nation there are more than four million additional persons Injured. Many of these are suffer- Ins from fractures of the long bones. The first aid treatment of this vast number ot Injured persons, particularly those who have fractured bones, will largely determine In many cues the amount of pain, the length of their stay In the hospital and to some extent whether or not they are permanently disabled." This Is quoted from a recent editorial appearing In the Journal of the American Medical Association. -It points out that the emergency treatment of fractures of the long bones of the body has become a problem of major Importance. You will be astonished to learn that more- than 100,000 fractures of the extremities occur every year In the United States alone.

This Is more than the number ot Injured persons In the American forces during the World war. Common Occurrence Accidents may occur at any time and, since the breaking of a bone Is a common occurrence, It Is best for everyone to be familiar with the emergency treatment. It Is not al- waya possible Immediately to obtain expert medical attention. This Is too bad because often the first treatment given determines whether the Injury will result In some permanent defect. The first thought should to the Injured person as comfortable aa possible.

But Inexperienced lifting or moving oC an Injured person with a broken leg- or arm, may prove disastrous. Bear In mind that moving a person with a broken bone may cause added Injury. The broken bones may be forced through the skin. This results In what Is called a "compound" fracture, with the dan- ser of serious Infection and menace to life. A person with broken bones should never be moved until a splint Is applied to the damaged part The splint need not be surgically perfect It Wtir accomplish Its purpose If the Injured limb Is made secure, protected from pressure and sudden movements, splint can be made from wreckage, a small limb of a tree, a piece of fish pole, a cane, or a folded and tightly rolled newspaper, I'am glad to that a new movement has been started for proper Instruction In first aid treatment of fractures.

1936, Edgar A. Guest.) COUNTRY BASEBALL I like those country baseball teams; like their weekly games When pitchers pitch for all they're worth and competition flames I like those crazy little stands where all the women sit And beg- the druggist's soda clerk to make a three base hit. The major leaguers have the skill, but dull at times they seem Compared to those Port Austin boys who work to make the team. Year after year In summer Bill Phelps has said to me: "Port Austin's playing Harbor Beach. That game we ought to see." We know the players one and all; we meet them face to face.

The banker catches for the team; his clerk's on second base; The barber's on the pitching mound, the blacksmith plays at third, The shortstop Is the doctor's son, and, boy, Is he a bird! I think it pleases mother, too, In summer when she shops To have the town's first baseman weigh and wrap our mutton chops. The center fielder sells us gas; sometimes throughout the week With every member of the nine we get a chance to speak. No hirelings they who every spring hold out for wealth and fame. But men and boys we've known for years who really the game. And that' Is baseball, played on grounds professionals would scorn, Tot where your Ruths and Qreen- bergs and your Schoolboy Howes are born; That's where the leading citizens of both towns scream and shout And urge their boys to victory until the fInar out.

Oh, you may have your big league stuff, but Bill and I agree Port Austin playing Harbor Beach Is what wo want to aee. AOUashingtonDaybook ALKSTO RENTS Problem By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH "The problem child generally comes fron. home where there Is a problem mother." Why Is the blame so otten laid on the woman? Why is not the lather the reason for the child's iual-ad- Jastment as often as the mother? Sometimes, of course, he is, and sometimes both parents are to blame, or an outsider. But as a general thing. It the mother Is mature in mind and emotion, she can, In spite ot all Influences to tha contrary, bring the child up to be a normal membur of society.

This extra burden ot responsibility Is not something which mothers should resent, (lather they should be thankful that so much power for good Is In their hands, and face the problem Mothers have the earliest and closest contact with their children, and to a large extent shape the children's futuies in the first tout years of the child's life. The father Is earning a living, and has not time, nor as a rule the Inclination, to take much Interest in the young child. The mother has the youngster's physical care and his early t.alnlng In her hands. If she a mature, clear-sighted Individual, she will rear a child who Is able to adjust himself, to life. If she Is emotionally unsatisfied, nervously unstable, and spiritually undeveloped, her calld might just as well be brought up by a school-girl.

Soirfo women never pass the grade school age, ana often these are the ones who marry, very young. They never will grow up, and yet must be trusted with the care ot children. The father who realizes his wife's Immaturity cannot afford to neglect hU children, but must take nn a double responsibility. He cannot wait until the youngsters are bigger, but must take his share lu their training from the start. Plans have been approved for the $100,000 mausoleum contain the body of M.

By PRESTON QROVER ASHINGTON It must have) been with a sigh of relief that Senator McNary scanned the reports of his success over Townoendlte opposition In the Oregon primary. Two months before the primary some ot his close friends said had expressed deep concern about the Townsend vote, whore the Old Age Revolving Pension movement (OARP) reputedly was strongly entrenched.

No doubt the result was studied closely aldo In Idaho by those who looked to the possibility of Senator returning from the presidential wars to contest again for reelection. i Borah's Problems In a letter written to an Idaho constituent early this year, Mr. Borah stated that his description ot the "ownsend plan as unsound might bring about his defeat tor reelection. Associates of Governor C. Ben Ross of Idaho, who Is expected' to seek the Democratic nomination for Senator to oppose Borah, have counted the Townsendlte vote as a factor which might turn the usual tide ot popularity that In the past has swept the senator again and again Into office.

Townsend leaden In Oregon reported a 150,000 membership but a. very small percentage ot that number supported Townsend candidates against McNary. How well can they be expected to support avowed Townsend candidates In other states? Many nervous congressmen and a few senators In Townsend strongholds would like to know whether tha Oregon primary answers their own dilemma. Ambassadors Return The return to the United States of several ambassadors for extended leaves has stirred comment in Washington as to the part they may play In the coming campaign. Brecklnrldge Long, ambassador to Italy, Is here for a 90-day leave.

He was on platform committee at Houston In 1028, Coming soon on leave alto are Ambassadors William Bullltt from Moscow and Josephus Daniels from City. Diplomatic circles here saw a possibility that Claude Q. Bowers, ambassador to, Spain, and Jesse I. Straus, ambassador to France, also would return. Turning Around By MARY GRAHAM BONNER IP was very confused and frightened.

Things were happening so yuickly that It any one could have stopped to ask him his name he would not have been able to remember It All he could ttflnk of was that he was turning arcunjl and around; and now ho began to go downward. But in spite ot his fear he started thinking and remembered hearing some one at the County Fair saying' that' the parachute jumper had to pull a rip cord so that the parachute would open. He had not known what the cord was, for he never had known much about planes, but. evidently after that cord war pulled the parachute had opened. Now he must pull something.

He hoped, desperately, that ho would pull the right cord. He might lulte as easily, hu thought, pull one that would make him drop without any help from a parachute. There was no telling what might happen. He knew so little. He saw a metal ring, stuck a paw through It, and pulled.

In scarcely any time at all the parachute opened. After a jerl- he began to feel more comfortable and found he was sitting comfortably on the pack with the harness around aim. Down he sailed to the ground to i easily, so delightfully, that he "felt i as though he were a fine performer and only wished-be had an audience. And then Rip heard the voice of 1 Christopher Columbus Crow. He had an audience after all, but he I looked again and could not see the crow.
