Ten years of trying to solve welfare problems have produced a thaos that extmds from Washington almost to evecy municipality and township in the country. And for every relief client, tlm e "experts have sprung up. During the Pi cember relief crisis in Ohio, President Roosevelt threat! ned to send soup kitchens into the state if they were needed. From Athens, O., a city of 8000 in the southeastern corner of the state, came a quick response from someone inviting the president to bring on the kitchens because people were starving. County officials denied that there was starvation, contended there was plenty of money to hand out adequate g relief to all eligibles. The usual squabbles and followed. At the moment, tilings are being taken firmly in hand. A representative of the state relief administration is in Athens trying to straighten out the affair. Three county officials have been indicted in connection with the muddle. It was the same old story all the experts were out howling, and all of them were sure they were right. absolutely-defenseles- name-call-ir- downright refreshing, therefore, to find one man in Athens who could easily profess to be a relief expert and who admits that he isnt. Gordon K. Bush, publisher of the Athens Messenger, was asked, What about the relief situation down there? He replied: Our reporters, who are unusually conversant with the courthouse and county affairs and finances, say that it is practically impossible for anyone to give a clear-cu- t answer one way or the other, because the matter is so involved. A lesser man would have muddled through an explanation, vague and pointless, because it was expected of him. Few have the courage to admit that there are problems in this complex civilization that are beyond them. Mr. Bush isnt the only one who doesnt understand relief. But he is virtually the only one who admits it. is LADIES DONT CARRY GUNS send- ing her back to Canada because she wouldnt agree, under oath, to bear arrrs for the United States. Mrs. Alice Signe Aune was allowed to enter the country under the agreement that she would file citizenship papers here. She said she would assist the government in any other way even as a war nurse but she wouldnt shoulder a gun. Mrs. Aune isnt the only woman who feels that way. Most of the ethers weve admitted wouldnt touch a gun, even though theyve casually said they would. And Uncle Sam would have to look a long time to find a corps of American women who would shoulder kets. The Washington mus- The fact is, he doesnt expect them to.

ALLEN er Uncle Sam had better do something soon. Weve just let an honest woman slip through our fingers. Were native-bor- n The smaller dog wagged his way up to the larger one, and paused for a moment before him. Then he placed his chin on his forepaws as if in humble deference, and his eyes, las entire demeanor, said: Aw, come on, pal, let's get acquainted! The larger pooch obviously was on a higher pedestal at least in his own estimation. He was full and simply posed of for awhile. But the insistent wagthe friendly dogs tail, ging of the chin on the paws, and the beseeching yet jovial eyes soon broke down the hauteur, and both canines frisked away down the street, yapping occasionally in doggy happiness. Tlie older dog was against the friendliness of an unknown ranine-felloIt is evident the world has more need of the friendly-do- g type of man. The industrialization which has entered modern life, the formality and cool indifference to everyone except a small clique of friends, have sapped much of the real joy of living. Like the older dog, too many people are living on a homemade pedestal of impersonality, pomp and egotism. If it isn't egotism that prevents more friendliness and warmer social relations, it's a breakneck, aloof pace of living that excludes stopping on the way to win friendships. People forget to forget themselves. All too many are taking life so seriously that they are shackling themselves with loneliness. And, thus achieving loneliness by their indifference to friendliness, they succeed in withering their social souls. Take a certain former college student for example. He was brilliant in research. His chemistry colleagues avered that some day he would amaze five continents with startling discoveries, perhaps even perfecting a new type of explant, or a plosive, a product to take the natural taste away from spinach. He received As in all of his classes, and when walking around the campus could be heard to mutter formulas. After classes he could be found in the laboratory smoking up some type of gas, concocting a bubbling mixture, or peering into test tubes. He will amount to something, quoth his superiors. He is the type that goes onto Oxford. lie runs ahead of the common herd, leas the barriers which serve os a catch-al- l for mediocrity, ilis name will be read in chemistry tomes henceforth. What a full life is his! llow happy he should be in his achievements! But there is no happiness in achieving loneliness. He wasnt lonelv. though, you argue. He had millions of atoms to keep him company his test tubes, his gas, and his formulas. But they couldnt talk to him. even though he talked about them. They were cold and impersonal. They didn't have a friendly gleam in their eyes, nor could they lay a chin upon forepaws and entreat companionship. He went through college, made Phi Kappa Phi, won a scholarship to do more research. He confided in a fellow student before he left, and this was the tenor of his confidence; Now that I look back upon my college life I don't feel so satisfied in it I think I've missed a lot People expert me to be aloof and wrapped up in my chemistry because thats what I've been. I haven't stopped to make friends because that seemed beside the point. But now that which I have seems sort of cold and unsatisfying, and it makes a hollow noise just like something bubbling in a test tube. He misled more than anything else to forget himself and his test tube and take t'me out for friendships. It Ls said that nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm, jet that enthusiasm should include a genuine zest for getting out of the rut of loneliness, an ardent desire to make friends anil to like iieople. Another type of lonely person is he who shuts himself up in his own pride. He builds a prison around him with an egotism that stifles friendliness, and once he is inside that cell, no one attempts to break in. Soon the cell becomes lonely, but often the prisoner is so concerned with his conceit, his egotism, that he would rather remain behind the bars than solicit companionship. So, our greatest interest in life will forever be wound about our relationships with people. Some of them will inspire us. Some will stimulate our minds. Some will merely interest us so that we can speculate about them, while others will leave us cold. Thank heaven, however, for those who warm us and make us love self-estee- DOESN'T KNOW It HOLD EVERYTHING 1m-ga- n, t The power (o t.ix 1940.
