DEMOCRACY—not a failure.
I have a rood many well mean-
in* friends who declare that dem-
ocracy is a failure. We don’t get
things done, they say, and they
point to Mussolini and Soviet Rus-
sia as examples of orderly, discip-
lined governments.
1 talked with a competent news-
paper man who has been in Rus-
sia for several years. "What they
are doing there is to regiment the
entire population so that everybody
lives by rule and discipline,” he
said. "It is tough on the common
people, but fine for the officers,
just like life in the army.”
I have a friend who has spent
many winters in Italy. “The Italian
people take what the government
gives them and pretend to like it,
becnuse if they didn’t pretend to
like it they would quickly be deport,
ed.” he told me.
The most highly organised and
disciplined life that we know any-
thing about is that of the ants. In
the anthill and the beehive thd life
of every individual is subordinated
to the welfare of the group, and
particularly to the welfare of the
queen. I think I prefer a system
under which individuals are free to
“get things done,” to any system
which puts >human beings on the
same plane as ants.

AGE—and the nation.
The world is getting older. There
are fewer children and more elderly
people living today than there wpre
proportionately ten years ago; an
immensely greater proportion of
older people than there was fiftv
years ago. Between the ages of 20
and 45 are found 38 per cent of all
of the inhabitants of the United
States, and that percentage is just
about the same as it was a .dozen
years ago. But where the census
of 1920 showed a little over 40 per-
cent of the ppnulatlon under twen-
ty, that of 1930 shows a little over
88 percent are under twenty years
old. This is compensated for by an
Increase of 2 percFht in the num-
ber of people over forty-five.
If. with an Increasing proportion
of the elderly, we develop a nation-
al tendency toward conservation, it
is easy to predict that our ultimate
social and economic organization
will more closely resemble that of
France, the perfect example of an
extremely conservative, tightly knit
nation in which everything is com-
pletely under the control of the
elders.
coats every fiber, assuring protection against internal heat.
Two Extra Gum-Dipped Cord Plica under the Tread, give
56% stronger bond between tread and cord body.
Don’t buy cheap tires thAt are only made to sell. Don’t
risk your life on wet, slippery pavements these October
days—-Use the same precaution race drivers use. Trade in
your old tires—We will give you a liberal allowance on
Firestone Tires—tha sqfest tires in the world.
PSITTACOSIS—“parrot fever.”
The serious illness of Senator
Borah’s wife from psittacosis, or
“parrot fever,” has focused atten-
tion again upon this disease which
was epidemic three years ago.
Now the medical authorities who
have studied it say it comes not
only from parrots, but from can-
aries end other kinds of climbing
birds. The svmptoms are chills, fev
er and headache, sometimes accom-
panied by nose bleeding and chest
pains, and it is frequently mistaken
for influenza or a severe cold.
I have never been quite able to
understand the desire of so many
peoplt to keep animals and birds
in cages, but if one must keep cag-
ed birds, it seems to me highly 1m
portant to maintain their cages in
perfect hygienic condition.
