Butlerfor his remarks about Premier Mussolini, remarks on the same subject continue in the United btates Senate Senator Heflin of Alabama the other day demanded to know "why this country must kow-tow and apologize to this mad monarch of Italy for mentioning a brutal and inhuman act," and, according to the Associated Mussolini as a red-handed murderer." This sounds worse than anything that Gen. Butler is accused of saying about the head of- the Italian, Moreover, it is said in the most public spot in the United States, by a prominent representative of our federal government.

Gen. Butler's alleged utterances, however objectionable', were made privately to a small group, without a broadcasting intent. A good many Americans, while deprecating such frankness as both of them have shown, entertain a covert sympathy for them. Yet the startling contrast, of these two cases is entertaining, to say the least. Shouldn't Senator Heflin be court-martialed or be apologized for or something? The State Department at Washington probably cannot do anything, since a United States Senator is regarded as an ambassador from state.

But maybe the Italian Ambassador should appeal to sovereign state of Alabama to see that Heflm treats Mussolini more respectfully.

Having accomplished a certain amount of life; there is less feeling of competition. mind is more at ease, and "everything you gain is pure joy."

The world does move, 'even the world of college athletics Harvard follows the University of Pennsylvania in announcing reforms, though it is not going-so-far. Pennsylvania abolishes professional coaches subsidies for players, proselyting of players, spring football practice, football camps and other abuses and gances which have inflated college sport and widespread criticism. Harvard, at present, contents itself with curtailing intercollegiate, games, discouraging spectacular public competition and encouraging mtra- 'extrava- aroused ly our rulers'ought to be.

Haskln, Director, Washington, the beginning of a return to the wholesome athletic ideals of a former day, when higher education was dominated by the educational rather than the athletic idea and boys did not have sense of values upset even in the high school.

Educators are growing sensitive about the matter. -We may see a thoroughgoing reform GOING TO MISS SOMETHING BIG. Estelle Taylor Dempsey has'announced'that there are Koing to be no children in the family. She is too. busy having a career on the stage to bother with cookie, jars and bruised knees and bedtime stories and Now-I-lay-me- down-to-sleep" and all the other features which go with little boys and girls.

And it is perfectly all right, of. course. It is entirely up to Jack and Estelle Taylor Dempsey if they- or do not want a family. But think how proudly a -small boy could tell the other fellows that his father is the former heavyweight champion! Think of the pictures he could 'draw while they held their breath in admiration, or found out what the son and heir of the fistic-king'could do his own hands. Jack-Dempsey has-had a good many admirers.

It is too-bad that perhaps he will never know the applause of one who be more adoring, more applauding, than any, other fan could ever be. Little boys can be. so loyally worshipful when their fathers'are big and strong 7 NOT, SHINING EXAMPLES- man-who wants to retain'an unquestioning and child-like faith in. the.workings'of democracy the modern state'is 1 advised to pay very little attention'to the may- campaigns.in pur two largest cities. its last election New York gave a stupendous majority, to a.young man.whose chief qualification seems to be-that he is amiable, dapper, very well dressed and unusually, quick at repartee.
