Thru the hours, brave mn fought for each other and in the end. some died that others might live. There was no thought of reward, no foolish "nationalism" standing in the way. And so it always is, when nature shrieks across the long swells and danger threatens puny mankind. There is no real man or woman on earth who does not thrill more to a tale of heroism like this than to the sorry story of man set against man in some obscure fight for some statesman's vanity. Faced by a common enemy, mankind man-kind finds it easy to forget its petty bickerings, and fight shoulder to shoulder for humanity. What humanity needs mainly today is a common object toward which to drive. Somewhere, perhaps there is a man who can discern this object, dramatize it, make it plain to all the world. Somewhere, there is something more important import-ant than the fate of trumpery kings and transient premiers, international boundaries and the petty jealousy miscalled "national honor." Humanity, after all. has a common goal the same for French and British and Japanese and Czech and Hottentot. Same day humanity will find that goal and' hang its head in shame because it neglected its welfare to engage in trivial wars for no purpose whatever. There are no boundaries to bravery; no nationalism to daring and courage. But it takes an ocean storm to make us realize it.

It would be a good idea to take half a dozen prize grumblers grumb-lers from each western city, ship them overseas and make them live in Europe for three months. Then bring them back and let them tell everyone what it was like. It would cure th.em of grumbling for life and enable the rest of us to realize that, no matter what times are like out here, they are infinitely better than they are anywhere else. Of course, life isn't perfect out here; it is not half as good as it might be. We have made mistakes ; we have managed badly, and this, that and the other thing. BUT. comparatively, there isn't a better place on earth for the average man. And never will be. We have the best sort of people on earth in the west, too. The most intelligent. The least bound by convention and precedent. The most progressive and inventive. And these people, as the years pass, will build a new civilization out here. And a better one.

The preparation is a plastic rubber that is used as a cavity filler-, much the same as a dentist uses porcelain to fill a cavity in a tooth. When trees develop dry rot because of an injury to the bark of the tree, or because of a broken limb, the procedure in the past has , been to fill the cavity with cement ce-ment or some like substance This 1 has many drawbacks, however. This new plastic filler adheres ad-heres to the cavities or scars on the outside of the trees and prolongs pro-longs the lives of valuable trees indefinitely. In addition to this cavity filler, this company has placed a new tree paint on the market. This paint is to be used to paint minor-cuts minor-cuts and scars and to cover cuts that are a result from trimming and pruning. These new developments were made possible by experiments carried car-ried on jointly by the Akron (O.) parks department and the rubber company.

"Was it perhaps," Fisher asked, "that is, if it's a fair question, the district attorney of the county or someone connected with the police force who epiployed you?" "The question," said Griff, "is fair enough." There was a moment of silence. "The answer?" Fi6her purred in his most suave voice. "Oh, the answer," Griff said. "That would be manifestly unfair. It's perfectly fair for you, representing repre-senting your clients, to ask a question, ques-tion, but you understand we all of us have our professional obligations, obliga-tions, counselor." "I see. I see," Fisher remarked, toying with a pencil on his desk nerYously. "That Dr. Cooper should be prosecuted for criminal malfeasance. malfea-sance. He disregarded his professional profes-sional duties and obligations and made an erroneous diagnosis, which was subsequently made public." "What was the diagnosis he made?" Griff asked. "I would prefer not to discuss It In view of my connections with the family," Fisher said firmly. "I see." Griff told him. "There Isn't any chance that his diagnosis was right, is there?" "Not one chance In a million Not one chance in ten million." Fisher said emphatically. "His diagnosis Is a shining example of Just how much harm a doctor can do when he shoots off his face. It's an insult to Mrs. Cathay." "Indeed." said Griff. "How Is Mrs. Cathay affected by it?" "Well," Fisher said. "I'm not going to discuss it, but you can use your imagination. Mr. Griff.

"Dr. Cooper." said Fisher grimly. will probably find himself called before the medical board to explain his rather strange statements. Par ticularly In view of the fact thai he made those statements in the presence of a newspaper reporter." Griff seemed completely unlnter ested in the future of Dr. Cooper. "I would." he said, "like to see Mrs. Cathay." "It's impossib!e." Fisher said "She's prostrated. She Isn't seeing anyone. She talked with me over the telephone and her voice was so choked and broken 1 could hardly understand what she said." "That," asked Griff, "is the only way you knew she was prostrated?" Fisher's eyes grew hard. He said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm her attorney. I'm also her friend. 1 was her husband's friend. Her husband's hus-band's generosity was responsible for my success. I worked for Frank Cathay when he was in South Africa. Then he sold out his interests inter-ests and came here. He sent for me to join him. He put up the money which put me through law school. He loaned me the money which established me in my law practice. I would cheerfully have died for him. I'd do anything for his widow. I say she's prostrated and I know what I'm talking about. Cathay's death was entirely due to natural causes. Those causes were brought about by a dastardly libel which was perpetrated by a metropolitan metro-politan newspaper." "The newspaper published a retraction," re-traction," Griff said. a i'TN a way It was a retraction.' x Fisher admitted. "It was skill fully worded. It wasn't an epology not by a long ways. The newspaper news-paper admitted the mistake of the previous story, however, but it did it under the guise of publishing an additional item uf news. Whatever retraction there was. was merely Incidental and by way of background back-ground for a new story." "Will you." asked the criminola gist, his eyes fastened intently upon the lawyer's lips, "claim that it did not constitute a retraction?" "Certainly not," Fisher said. "In the first place. 1 believe that the action died when Cathay died which, of course, was a break for the newspaper. However, the matter mat-ter had been amicably adjusted prior to Cathay's death. 1 handled the adjustment personally." Griff raised his eyebrows In Interrogation, Inter-rogation, "Can you tell me about that?" he asked. "Unfortunately." said Fisher.
