Entered ns -class matter at the post office at Corpus Christi, Texas. LOVE OF COUNTRY By KENNETH C. HOGATE, Vice-President and General Manager Wall Street Journal. Love of country and love of home are the simple elementals toward which the mind of man instinctively turns in periods of perplexity. In "high flying" times other matters assume an importance out of proportion to their essential value.

In such times honest men concentrate upon the making of money honorably to such an extent that the virtues of kindliness, self-sacrifice and charity- upon which all civilization is predicated-are subordinated and unconsciously neglected. Love of country inherently implies love of others. It implies self-sacrifice and devotion to a common and a national ideal. Such devotion has ever been the fundamental for complete and satisfactory living. In periods of economic stress the great American majority turns for strength to the majestic Faith of its Fathers.

It gains, from a new reflection upon the things that are Eternally True, a freshened faith and an increased courage. But there are minorities which, from selfish or mistaken motives, seize upon periods of distress with programs tending to destroy those verities which have stood the test of time. That we are in a period of unsatisfactory business conditions today does not at all invalidate the finest instincts in human nature. As a nation we cannot forsake those things which have made us strong and great. Indeed, many of our troubles today arise from the temporary departure of all of us from these basic milestones of life.

To say, as noisy minorities do. that we should abandon the homely virtues learned around the family hearthstone is simply to assert that the ethics of the world have been wrong from the beginning and that other and less unselfish motives must be substituted as the mainsprings for human action. Fundamentally sound instincts are born in every child. In the normal home they are fostered and developed. Educational systems stimulate and refine them, giving to the individual the ability to understand and to interpret his relationship to his family, his country.

and to others about him. The Citizens Military Training Camps and the Reserve Officers Training Corps give expression, in orderly fashion, to the application of these principles among young men in groups. Unconsciously they further impress upon the youthful mind an organized conception of the individual's duties to his country and to his family, while at the same time extending a comradeship of enduring value. To charge that these agencies are militaristic is to repudiate our ancestry and our national history. The necessity for governmental economy is as great today as it has ever been during our national life.

A few steps have been taken toward reducing the cost of government. That others will have to he adopted is beeing increasingly realized. The difficulty in effecting a reduction in governmental expenditures is that practically all of these expenditures benefit some portion of the population. We would be less than human if we did not favor economies, in general. and at the other fellow's expense.

while at the same time insisting that we maintain the programs which enure to our individual benefit. We can easily convince ourselves that such monies are being wisely expended. Undoubtedly it is upon this rock that efforts thus far to effect substantial savings have foundered. Now there is a proposal to effect savings at the expense of our agencies of national defense and national education. People generally are not immediately affected by the impairment of strength of a peace time garrison: nor are many citizens hurt in the pocketbook by the abolition of the ROTC or of a Citizens Military Training Camp.

There is danger that one of the few economies which should not be made will be unthinkingly accepted. The simple truth is that, for reasons of national defense and for the safeguarding of the primary American concept of love of country, these two governmental activities should, by every citizen, be placed above and apart from any economy program that he believes the government should undertake. It is patriotic to renounce an expenditure of tax money from which personal benefit is being received. But the upbuilding of the forces of national defense and of the agencies inspiring the highest type of citizenship deserves unqualified support under every circumstance. Tomorrow: WM.

JOHN COOPER, U. S. Commisioner of Education. New York Day by Day BY O. O.

McINTYRE New York, June New Yorkers in their eternal hurry are said to drop $1,000 a day in small change and bills. Ragamuffins used to fish for coins through subway gratings with long sticks tipped with chewing gurn. But today "grating fishing" is a diversion of the city's professional derelicts. Down on the Bowery is a shop selling jointed rods with pull claws at the end for such salvage. Fertile fields, of course, are in congested areas--Grand Central, 14th street and Brooklyn Bridge.

There are many 80 expert they average around $2 a day. Most of it goes for shots of that lethal hip potion known n8 "Bowery smoke!"

Two exceptions are the pair of legless men moving along Broadway on portable platforms. The dogs of some are rented for $2 a day plus a $25 deposit, forfeited if anything happens to the dogs. The same agency furnishes wheel chairs, crutches and other paraphernalia for fakers. There is a hotel near Canal street, called "The Roost," a rendezvous of street mendicants.

In instances effort to create the effect of casualness. It is one of the writing tricks. Political Follies of 1932 By RODNEY DUTCHER of us suffer from a definitely localized pain at the thought that prohibition, rather than any other problem, is most likely to become the foremost issue of the presedntial campaign. But here it is. In a historic but worried mament the Republican party has gone wet.

Not as wet as its more ridica! wets desired, but still much wetter than the drys, quite recently, every anticipated. The will soon go wetter. They will work out a plank which will at least seem to be Democrats, more definite, more courageous than the thing the administration finally worked out as its best bet for re-election. THE DRY VIEW The drys, insofar as they follow their ancient custom of voting on rather than any other lines, probably will support the Republican ticket in the main. It is true that they ordinarily are given the to turning in outraged wrath on any apostate, regardless of how wet his opponents may be.

There is, however, little chance that the Republican party can be frightened back into the bone-dry fold and the drys will remember that the Depublican plan, at worst, does not threaten any change in the prohibition laws for years to come. THE WET PICTURE The wet voters, however, seem to merit more 80- rious consideration. There are millions of Democratic wets and thus far nothing has occurred to indicate that many of them are likely to vote Republican this year. On the other hand, there are millions of wet Republicans, the sort which have always voted Republican on the prosperity or some similar issue. There are millions of young new voters, most of them rather dumb, who know about prohibition, have experinced or heard about the depression--and that's all.

It is remember the fundamental polltical fact that it is virtually Impossible for any dential candidate to be elected without carrying some of the populous eastern states which have long been considered normally Republican and which in recent years have prove themselves wet--including the New York, Illinois, New Jersey and group. It may be that the repeal reverberations from Chicago have created much interest in such states. Since 1928 there have been Democratic election victories in those five states and in others. DEM ORATORS TAKE NOTE The convention speeches of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and Senator Hiram Bingham, principal orators for the minority repeal report, offer splendid material for Democratic orators in wet territory.

Dr. Butler, for instance, said the plank which the party was about to adopt was absolutely the worst thing ever proposed. As a. matter of fact, the ultimate gist of it what reminiscent of the Al Smith proposal of 1928 asd the Raskob home rule plan. But it in so completely designed to appeal to the dry's and so Indefinite as to actual details of modus operandi thatt he practical politicians, in cluding both wets who demanded a repeal plank and drys who demanded a repeal plank and drys who demanded an enforcement plank, have been congratulating themselves on the fact that they could construe it almost any way they liked once they got into the campaign.

THE DEMOCRATIC CHANCE The Democrats, if they have any more than the small amount of political sense with which the Republicans usually credit them, should be able to capitalize the issue with great profit in all really wet states. Since they can curely depend on the dry south and have a distinct opportunity to cut in on the dry westthanks to the agricultural slump and the likelihood that they will nominate a candidate -the fact that they will profess to be wetter than the Republicans offers much more chance of gain than of loss. The individual voter, wet or dry, might as well remember that will be no change in the constitution until he kind elect a two-thirds majority there, in Congress whoch will at least consent to sion. The Republican plank specifically points out that it 15 not binding on its members, in Congress or elsewhere. They Don't Speak Our Language OH, YEAH NERTS! YEAH? AW, NERTS! OH, YEAH? WASTE NERTS!

LEAP YEAR BRIDE Laura Lou BEGIN HERE TODAY DIXON, 19, and pretty, in love with DAN PHILLIPS, newspaper reporter whom her wealthy aristocratio parents have forbidden her to see. When Cherry learns Dan's phone messages have been kept from her she steals out of the house to meet him.

Her father discovers this and threatens to send her to California. Cherry Defies him and he orders her to leave. She goes to Dan, tells him what has happened and asks him to marry her. The ceremony is performed that night justice of peace. Cherry, looks discouraged for an to find apartment them 80 expensive.

Dan works late one night on a tip that TONY TOSCALLI, gangland chief, is ing to Wellington. Cherry sciously gives this news tip to a reporter on the rival. newspaper. The paper the story and other, boss threatens, "One more slip and you're fired." DIXIE SHANNON, movie critic, helps Cherry find an pensive apartment. Dan and Cherry move into it.

Cherry finds housework and cooking trying. They invite MAX PEARSON, a friend of Dan's, to dinner but the food burns up and they have to dine in restaurant. A week later Cherry works all day cleaning house. Dixie invites her and Dan to a bridge party but Dan refuses to go. He tries to write a short story, suddenly paper from the typewriter bangs out the then apartment.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXI and entered. He had been gone Dan opened the a door quietly nearly an hour, "Hello," he said to Cherry. The girl had turned at the sound of the key in the lock but now she did not glance up. She was sitting in the window seat, looking very small feet curled beneath her, her face white against the cloudy mass of dark hair. The night through the window behind her was dark, too.

Cherry had been staring at that starless sky. "Hello." Phillips put down his hat and crossed the room. "I'm sorry," he began abruptly. "I didn't mean the things I said tonight. I--well, I want you to know I'm sorry about "It's all right." But it wasn't all right.

Phillips could see that. The brown eyes raised to his showed how deeply Cherry had been hurt. There were no tears in those eyes now but the wisp of handkerchief she clutched was a damp and twisted pall. Dan walted uncertainly. He wanted to say more, did not know how to begin, "Can I--sit down here?" She moved to make room for him and he dropped to the seat with a sigh.

"I've been walking," he told her. "Walking? Where did you go?" "Oh. I don't know. Down the street--I didn't notice. It's getting cold out." Suddenly Cherry was concerned.

"And you didn't have your topcoat! Oh, Dan, you shouldn't have done that. You've probably taken cold and now you'll be sick!" "I don't think so." "But you can't be sure. You should have a hot bath and-" "There's nothing wrong with me, I tell you. I'll be all right." There was silence again. This time Cherry broke it.

She leaned nearer, touched Dan's hand with her own. "I--didn't mean what I said, either," she told him. "I shouldn't have promised Dixie we'd come without asking you first and I didn't mean to complain. It was my fault. that way! You mustn't because it isn't true! You're not a bum reporter and I won't have you saying you are.

What do I care for servants and clothes and a lot of money? Those things don't make He stopped her. "No. it was mine. I lost my head and there was no excuse for it. I know you get tired of this life.

Cooking and washing dishes and working all day in this hole. It's my fault that you have to do it because I don't make enough to hire a maid. That's why you have all this drudgery. You shouldn't have married me, Cherry! It was mistake! I'll never be able to give you the things you I should have--servants and money and pretty clothes. I'm just a bum police reporter and that's all I'll ever be.

I'm--oh, what's the use? What's the use?" Dan's hands opened wide in 8 gesture of disgust. "But, Dan-" her arm stole about his shoulder.

His breathing was labored and there was general swelling of his tissues.

He died 15 days after the onset of his symptoms. When the post-mortem examination was made, the trichina organisms were found in his muscles. There were also changes in his brain and spine. Other members of the family were lightly affected with the disease except for one girl, 18 years old, who became seriously sick with similar symptoms, but who did not die. The father and mother and another sister were sick from seven to 10 days.

He held her in both arms pressed tightly to his heartind lips, eager and demanding, the girl's, "You darling!" he whispered huskily.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine For years scientific medicine has known the danger of eating infected pork. Pork may become infested with an organism called the trichinella spiralis, which produces a disease called trichinosis or trichiniasis. These organisms get through the wall of the bowel into blood and from blood into the muscles where they are encapsulated and where they produce irritation and pain. It has been previously known that other animals beside pork may occasionally be involved. Indeed, it has been established that the rat may be concerned.

But now Dr. Albert T. Walker reports an unusual instance in which the eating of bear meat brought about a death from this disease. A boy, 18 years old, in California, joined a party of hunters and killed a brown bear weighing about 400 pounds. The bear was skinned and the meat smoked and hung in the sun for a few days to dry.

This meat was divided among all the members of the hunting party and the boy brought his share home, passed it around in school and among the neighbors. Seven days after eating his first dose of meat he became ill with nausea, vomiting, and pain in the abdomen which lasted two or three days and then disappeared. He continued, however, to chew the dried meat at odd times for a period of several days. Three or four days later he be- SIDE GLANCES By George Clark 30 REQ U. S.

Something difficult and complicated to prepare like -ham and eggs!" They both laughed. "Don't know where you'd find anything better!" Dan insisted. Peace and tranquility had been restored in the household.

The threatening problem of financial insecurity had reared its ugly head and been put down--for the time. Dan and Cherry did see a motion picture the next evening. They sat hand in hand in the semi-darkness while a lovely blond actress in the role of a princess lost her heart to an adventurous young American. They watched these two cleverly outwit the diplomats who tried tc separate them. The young American was penniless but handsome and he was an audacious suitor.

The blond princess sang wistful love songs. When the organ soloist began 8 popular dance tune it seemed to Cherry that the song was inspired, a masterpiece. The words flashed on the screen: "Come let us stroll down lovers' lane Once. more to sing love's old refrain For we must say, "Auf Wiedersehn Weidersehn, my dearA girl beside Cherry was singing in a high -pitched voice. Cherry did not sing but she was sure that she would never forget that song.

It was beautiful though sad. She and Dan knew what it meant to stroll down lovers' lane but they would never, never part. They would never say "farewell" as the sweethearts in the song. Cherry's hand, in Dan's, pressed closer. The song was concluded and a news reel flashed on the screen.

Twenty minutes later the two left the theater and walked down Twelfth street. They had gone less than a block when a gay voice hailed them. Max Pearson, crossing the street with great, swinging strides, was with almost immediately. "Called your place half an hour ago," he said, "but I couldn't get an answer. What are you doing now "Nothing.

"It is a wonderful night!" Cherry said. "And wonderful to get away from the city, too!" "You miss that roadster of yours, don't you?" Dan asked. "Not when Max is so generous." She was careful throughout the (Turn to Page 6, Column 1.) REG. U. S.
