Faith In Humanity
Civilization says Prof. Kenneth S. Latourette of
Yale may be on the verge of a new “dark ages.” With-
in a few years or even a few months he says society
may be drawn into a whirlpool of misery and chaos un-
paralleled in modern history.
What makes his prediction so ominous is the fac t that
this scholar is not alone in his pessimism. Some of the
wisest men of our time looking to the future can see
nothing but disaster. Any thinking man must have
moments in which everything ahead seems exceedingly
gloomy.
The only comfort is that things are hardly ever quite
as bad as they seem. Human beings somehow have a
way of seeing destruction lying in wait just around the
corner. They also without realizing it have a way of
muddling through a way of surviving when survival
seems highly improbable.
And one reason why the darkest prophecies so sel-
dom come true is probably that most of us deep in our
hearts do not really believe in them. Deeply embedded
in man’s consciousness illogical but enduring is the un-
spoken conviction that he is on earth as the phrase used
to go for a purpose; that he is slowly and painfully mov-
ing upward and will continue to do so not because he is
wise and far-seeing hut simply because he is riding a cur-
rent that wells up from the very fountainhead ot the
universe. '
We seldom talk about that feeling. It is seldom ex-
pressed in public speeches in newspaper articles in books
or in magazines—and. when it is the intellectuals prompt-
ly laugh it to scorn. Yet the feeling persists. No age
lias entirely lacked it. We are confident of our destiny.
And that confidence in its turn breeds courage; the
courage which enables the race to live through its world
wars its financial breakdowns its disillusionments and its
black catastrophes. The abyss may lie just ahead hut
beyond it there is a new slope to surmount on which the
light will be clearer.
That or something like it. is what most of us believe.
We may be wrong—but the belief at least keeps us from
panic. _ _
Danger Of Lye
One of the most excellent bits of advice ever issued
for the housewife comes from Dr. Chevalier Jackson the
famous specialist of the Temple 1 niverally Medical
Center in Philadelphia. It has to do with lye—that use-
ful household compound which can he on occasion ex-
tremely dangerous. 44 .. ...
“Very few mothers/1 says T^r. Jackson realize that
lye looks like sugar and is very tempting to a baby. If
he sees it he is almost certain to put some m his mouth;
and when this happens the child’s throat is fearfully
burned. Ulcers follow the burns; when the burns heal
they leave scars that close the throat. The child will then
die of starvation unless treatment is promptly instituted—
and the treatment will take many months sometimes a
year or more.” A t . . ....
That warning ought to he tacked up in every kitchen.
If you have Ive in the house be sure that it is always kept
where no child can reach it.__
Texas Postal Savings
Postmaster Gen. Walter F. Brown’s report reveals
the fact that there are 17.768 depositors in postal sav-
ings accounts in Texas their deposits are placed with
293 post offices and total $8159070. in Texas alone. Ac-
cording to the report these deposits had swelled so great-
ly during recent years that the postal savings depository
at Austin has been supplemented by additional savings
depositories at Dallas and Houston.
New York
Letter
NEW YORK—The manner in
which the gay-going daughters sons
husbands and wives become scrambl-
ed in the swanky New York night
spots has brought Into being a
strange assortment of ultra-sophisti-
cated legends and true tales.
After all you must remember that
even in Manhattan there are but a
half-dozen or so glittering resorts
of major reputation where gather
the upperworld nomads: ladies and
gents from the social register de-
butantes and their boy friends visit-
ing stars from Hollywood stage folk
and writing folk!
Which brings me to the particu-
lar story told me the other evening
by one of “the regulars:”
• • •
A certain debutante who until this
season had never before dared ven-
ture forth Into the world of night
clubs and speakeasies was being
ushered about by a young man
whose reputation was considered
••questionable.** While he seemed to
have entree to a few of the better
parties he was not considered good
company nor a “good catch” for a
girl making her appearance in Man-
hattan society.
His name had come up in the
household. The debbie found him
wise attractive charming He knew
his way around. He seemed to know
the “big town.” He could whisper a
thousand secrets about people whose
names were prominent in many
fields She was impressed and at-
tracted.
Both mother and father had hint-
ed that she would do well not to be
seen with him again.
• • •
And then. Just before Thanksgiv-
ing. the “cocktail” crowd was gather-
ing when the debbie drifted into a
certain better-class resort— stiff on
the arm of the lad.
At a table just across the room
sat her father. With him was a
handsome flashy »oung woman. The
father frowned. 11.' girl arched one
eyebrow. The wise young man hid
a worldly grin behind the palm of
his hand
“Does the girl with your dad know
who you are?" whispered the young
man to the debbie.
“I doubt it . . . Never saw her be-
fore ...!’*
“Then please find a way to get
him over here . . . and make sure
that ho t> alone . . . !”
The father had determined to talk
to his dauchter about coming to the
cocktail spots with “that young
man ”
The father started toward the
table—
“Smile at him. ns though he
wasn’t your father!” the wise lad
whispered . . . “Whatever you do
don’t tip the father-daughter stuff.
Act ns though you mieht be mak-
ing n play for him and meet me
downstairs in the hall.”
• • •
A few moments later the father
was upbraiding the debbie. when up
stepj>ed the wise young man-about-
town.
•‘Father.** said the candid girl
“was advising me not to come to
places like this with you.”
“And how about you?” the wise-
one asked the older man. “For twro
cents I’d let you get trapped. Do you
know who you're with? Well unless
you like your pictures in the tab-
loids you'll drop that woman. She's
one of the Park Avenue polite black-
mail bunch. That woman and two
others got several friends of mine
for nice little sums. If you’re already
mixed up come to me. I've got a few
things on them. They li shut up and
it won’t cost money*’ Father and
rise-lad shook hands. The debbie
still Is seen with the young man from
time to time.
THE RIGHT IDEA
"Say. don’t you ever take a va-
cation?”
"I feel that I shouldn't leave my
job”
Why. can't the company do
without you?”
“Yes: that'* Just what T don't
want them to find out.”—Path-
finder.

I ent 6-month period is said to have
been developed on the pacific coast.

SUGGESTIONS FOR 1931
CHRISTMAS CARDS
A merry Christmas is my wish
Expressed within this verse;
II things are bad be thankful that
They aren’t any worse!
This Yuletlde card f send to you—
It’s rather less than you’d expect
I found a penny or I might
Have had to send the thing “col-
lect.”
• • •
This card’s not much
But I'm ro flat
You’re lucky to
Get even that.
• • •
“Peace on Earth” the message
rings
And echoes through the wintry air;
It may be so but I can not
Explain to you precisely where.”
• • •
FOR THE FOLKS BACK HOME
We think of home this Joyful day
With memories so sweet;
And end your worries when we say
We'll not be home to eat!
• • • |
Our love to you
We send today;
It costs a cent—
Which we can pay!
• • •
TO SOME ONE IN LIEU OF A
PRESENT
• • •
The fields are covered dc’p with
snow
Which ev’ry shadow dapples;
I’d send you something but I know
You do not care for APPLES
• • •
This card came from a penny
stand
Which will convey to you
The gold standard I’m quitting and
The copper standard too.
• • •
Here's Just n wish that Santa Claus
Will call and fill your socks
With everything except of course.
Those high grade blue chip stocks!
• • m
Christmas comes but once a year
Which surely will suffice;
It is a soothing note of cheer—
I couldn't stand it twice!
• • •
Just a greeting
Just a card
Indicating
Times are hard.

Daily Health
Talk
Typhoid fever has been prac-
tically ehmi-ated in this country
by the control of food and water
supplies and by proper disposal of
sewage. It continues to appear only
when there are carries who dis-
seminate and contaminate the ex-
cretions in such a way as to get
them into contact with food or
water supplies.
Paratyphoid fever Is caused by
a germ related to the typhoid or-
ganism. Indeed the vaccination
against typhoid fever is usually
combined with a simultaneous vac-
cination against paratyphoid in-
fection.
The germ is carried in the dis-
charges from the human body to
water or foods and infection takes
place by this means. The infection
usually develops from four to ten
days after the germ first gets in-
to the human body. From the
time when the symptoms appear
throughout the illness during re-
lapse during convalescence and
indeed sometimes after the person
appears to be perfect!; well he
may still distribute the organisms.
Honor repeated bacteriologic ex-
aminations of the discharges is
necessary before a person am be i
said to be safe for other people.

fcction irtvoivcfs direful disinfec-
tion of all the discharges from the
person and careful boiling of all
linens which have been in contact j
with the parent. Because It is pos-
sible that flies may transmit the
disease a person infected with it
should be Isolated in a room that
is fly proof.
Whenever a paratyphoid Infec-
tion occurs in either a single case
or in epidemic manner it is de-
sirable for public health officials
to search out the source of Infec-
tion and to prevent its spread.
Among the measures that are nec- '
essary to prevent the spread of
paratyphoid fewer are protection
and purification of public water
supplies pasteurization of milk
supervision of food supplies and
of food handlers control of trans-
mission of the disease by flies
proper disposal of human excre-
tions a systematic examination of
specimens from those who have
been in regular contact with cases
of the disease and proper treat- I
ment of the water supply with
hypochlorite or other disinfect-
ant.

ple in times of epidemic of para-
typhoid to boil all the water that |
is used. « i

NOW GO OR AATTII THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII
IIREE more trilled affirmatives
before Mary-Frances turned
from the telephone to Ann. “Mayn’t
I please go over to Ermlntrude’a
for Just half au hour? Ple-ase?"
"No.* said Ann firmly. “You
were there last night I told you
that 1 wanted you to help me this
evening."
“But what In the world." asked
Ro/a!le. though Indulgently. *i*
this notion of yours about cleaning
the ball tonight Ann? Such an
odd time to choose."
“May I?" whined Mary-Franee*.
"No dear" said Ann. “You may
not."
"Darling." said Rosalie the peace-
maker perpetual "ask your little
friend to come here and visit you
this evening."
“No" said Ann. "Mary-Frances
must help me this evening."
Mary-Frances at the telephone
wilted and drooped; desire for liv-
ing went from her; she was abused
martyred and this she gave to
Rosalie along with a quivering
lower lip and a knuckle close to
her eye ready to wipe away the
tears that even he.* courage could
not long forestall.
Rosalie sorrowful too with sym-
pathy said "Dearest tell your lit-
tle friend that you will call her
again in a few minutes and we’ll
sec.’’ And Mary-Frances said
"Listen Ermlntrude I’ll call you
back in a sec—I’ve got to hang * ^
now.” and replaced the receiver on
Its hook and looked malignantly at
| Ann.
"Ann dear/’ Rosalie began "don’t
yap think It is Just a bit selfish
that because you have no engage-
ments tor this evening you should
Insist that Mary-Frances make
none?**
“No” Ann said. The hall must
be cleaned and I think Mary-Fran-
ces should be willing to help. It
takes hours for one person to dust
the grille work on the stairs
and-"
Rosalie inserted. “But why to-
night? Isn't evening rather a
strange time to begin house clean-
ing?"
“It is the only time I have.**
“Now now Ann!" Rosalie shook
a playful finger. "Don’t you recall
a little story or—um—something
about the early bird?"
Ann did not answer that She
spoke Instead to Mary-Frances.
“I'm tired tonight honey and the
hall must be cleaned. It has been
needing it for weeks now you know.
If you really don't wish to help me.
you needn't Only—I sort of
thought you'd rather help ma than
to have me do it alone."
“I guess I'd Just as soon" said
Mary-Frances. “All right Ann.
angel. I'll tell Ermlntrude I can't"
• • •
p’RAND cleared his throat and
^ gestured detainlngly toward
Mary-Frances. “One moment my
darling." he said. "1 fear that 1
hare fallen far behind In this dis-
cussion and have in consequence
failed of its conclusion. 1 do not
question your motives. Ann—dear
Ann—but I do question your de-
cision. To clean the front hall at
a late hour on a spring evening!
The front hall. Suppose that guests
should arrive in the midst of this
process of cleaning. 8uppose . .
He went on and on; but presently
he asked a question with Mary-
Frances* name In it and paused for
an answer.
Ana had not been actually listen-
ing for some time. She had formed
forced perhaps a habit of looking
attentive and of paying no more
attention to him than she paid to
other extraneous sounds. It saved
trouble with her temper and she
rarely got caught because she knew
him and his speeches so well. She
ventured now "Yes Grand. StlU.
I do think that Mary-Franees is old
enough to have some duties and
some responsibilities.”
“You are right In that There
can be no discussion of that But
I note that you evade my question.
I shall put it differently. Who la to
decide what these duties and re-
sponsibilities shall bs? Of what
they shall consist? la other words
A
do yon little girls not forget some-
times at least that your Rosalie
and Grand are still able to take
their places—able and willing—as
heads of this household? I am not
criticising. I understand only too
well how this—I shall not call It
thoughtlessness nor carelessness-
on your part comes about A desire
to spare Rosalie and me Is at its
source. I know. That I know. But
our shoulders are still broad and
we are here with you children for
but one purpose.
"Shift the burden little Ann.
Shift the burden. And now. Mary-
Frances with my full and free con-
sent and I trust with Ann's you
may telephone to your little friend
and lnTlte her here to your home to
spend the evening with you."
Ann nodded and said "All right
dear." to Mary-Frances and Rosalie
commented concerning how easy it
was to have life flow along like a
song. "It Is only a matter." said
Rosalie "of our all singing to-
gether the same sweet little loving
tune."

T ETTY tossed sway her ctgaret
■Lj and Philip stopped being In-
formative about birds and rose from
tbe blanket spread over tbe wet
grass to put bis heel on the smol-
dering stub.
She said. “Oh. that’s the third
one I’ve made you stand up to put
out. all In a row. isn't it?” and gig-
gled a little. "I just don't seem to
remember about forest fires and
things."
-Quite all right" Philip an-
swered. and sat down again opposite
her with tbe same yard and a half
of brown and red Indian blanket
spaced between them.
Letty sighed almost Impercepti-
bly. She was coming to fear that
In spite of Mr. Ecroyd’s good looks
she had made a mistake when she
cut her date with Ken Smith to
come out with him. So far be had
been absolutely a flat tire talking
unslakedly of piston rods and scen-
ery and birds. If she hurried per-
haps she could head him off before
be got started again on mountain
robins.
•'Memory Is kind of a funny
thing. Isn't ltr* she offered. “Now.
with me I really have a wonderful
memory—everybody says so—but 1
just don’t remember anything that
I don't think Is Important Any-
thing important I always remember.
Lika when I file a card—It is Just
like I filed It In my mind at tbe
same time. I never forget It And
I’m tbe same way with names and
faces and prices and things I'm
; to buy. and all like that. Anytntng
Important I can always remember.**
"And you don’t consider forest
tires important?” Philip smiled
though as he questioned.
"Well of course I do. But I know
perfectly well that a fire wouldn’t
start out here now when erery-
thing Is so wet I II bet anything
you couldn’t start one If you tried."
"It is the principle of the thing
isn’t It?" Philip rebuked gently. "If
one gets Into the habit of throwing
lighted cigarets about when they
aren't dangerous one might easily
forget at some time when they
would constitute a real hazard.**
• • •
T ETTY sighed again less lmper» s
ceptibly. "I’m not much fof1
forming habits myself” she said.
"Good!" Philip responded heart-
ily and added. “No—I’m sure you
aren’t." and looked again at her
small neat head with Its red-gold
hair that seemed to sparkle even
in the shadows and wondered
again whether or not It smelled of
soap. During the past half hour
since she had taken off her beret
he had been speculating about that
gleaming young hair. It should

cleanly of soap.
She smiled at him engagingly.
She had no notion why her re-
mark about habits had pleased him.
but his sudden enthusiasm was
complimentary. He was the best-
looking man she knew. He wae
positirely better looking than Gary
Cooper and so distinguished. She’d
bet he would be grand with neck-
ing—those firm lips under that
handsome mustache. . . .
I ell me." be said hair teaslngiy
"what are you much for?"
"I don't get you." she said and
went on to say quickly. “Do you
know you are Just terribly good*
looking?"
"Thank you." he said. "It Is very
kind of you to say so. Do you know
that you are extremely pretty?
Now. then you aay that you aren't
much fcr habits; tell me. what are
you much for?”
