You have to weigh a bushel of counterfeit coin to find one that rings true. But when a sentence or a phrase really rings true, it stands out of the mass of phrases like a rocket fired upward into the dark of night. Such a phrase was uttered by Winston Churchill in his broadcast to the neoide of France. "Vive la France!" he cried, "Long live France, and march of the common people." The forward march of the common people! What else is worth striving for in our common activities activi-ties banded together as society, as government ? Churchill is speaking American language here, language that might have come from Tom Paine, or Andy Jackson, or Abe Lincoln. It calls up the long pageant of history ihe common people peo-ple as slaves building the pyramids of Egypt; the common people as serfs working hopelessly for feudal masters; the. common people rising to claim their manhood in the French Revolution; the common people flinging a vast new civilization civiliza-tion across the American continent; the common people slowly slow-ly and painfully raising their status in the world of work, the world of cub ure, the world of the spirit. There have been many questionings about the British war aims. British leaders, have been remarkably reticent about iust what thev are fighting for. What about the class- bound society dia?

The world fears that this lonforward march might be nullified and halted after all the bloody centuries. Every country is democratic while, engaged in an overwhelming over-whelming military effort.

For one thing, epidemics always seem to go with war conditions. For another, the long hours Britishers British-ers spend nightly in damp, cold air-raid shelters are likely to bring on a wave of respiratory ailments. But nobody knows, yet, just how these things start. Do they begin in army camps and spread thence to civilian centers, or vice versa? How much part does exposure ex-posure play? How much can be blamed on skimpy war rations? In what way can epidemics be nipped in the bud when air raids and other wartime disorganizations disorganiza-tions make ordinary peacetime procedure impossible?

CARROLL I was thinking, when I heard a five-year old kindergartener boast that "he was "the best re.stcr" in his school, of older, more experienced experi-enced persons who also place a premium upon the ability "to rest," or at least to be idle, which in one sense may be equivalent to resting from the strenuous activities ac-tivities most of us feel to be so eternally essential. There are doubtless many ideas as to what resting or idleness means. There's that of F. P. Latimer Lati-mer s "Weary Wishes": "I wish I were a utile rock A-sitting on a hill, A-doing nothing all day long, Rut just a-sittir,g still; 1 wouldn't eat, i wouldn't sleep, i wouldn't even wash I'd sit and sit a thousand years, And rest myself, b'gosh!" To others, however, to be able to "rest" in the right way, may be an art worth cultivating lor its cultural products. Stevenson soys: "All through my boyhood and yoth I was known and pointed out as an idler; and yet I was always busy on my own privaie enu; whicn was to learn to write. I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in." Someone has said "Civilization had never been possible without the courageous spirits who dared be idie, lor without idleness, there can be no thought. When we are ousy, we belong to the herd, which hates idleness, hates thought, believes be-lieves that words are always tools, never playthings." Literature has been called "a record gf idle moments." Previous words and winged thoughts for these, men have written, ana books have been printed, and colleges col-leges have been iounded; they arc our heritage, the records of quiet moments when men pauseu m tiuir struggle lor lood and shelter and constructed what it is to be men." Rtilliant writers have written in eulogy of this idleness which produces literature and . other sources of culture. Stevenson recommends idling outdoors on sunny hillsides, instead of in houses. He says - that when one goes out to enjoy idling, he should take along a lunnliar, easy book, but he declares that "the book is to be considered merely u decoy to attract timid ideas which come oftenest when one is too busy to chose them." Since the idler with his book is only pretending pre-tending to be busy, he can stop at any time to chase a thought. He claims that the idler imdr such circumstances "may catch the ideas which have been flat SERIAL STORY NEW YORK JUNGLE BY VVRAY WADE SEVERN VrTf:rtDAi Continuing hi ffUMiioninur, Flownmii interview -ilit nnil Mm.

He had refused to drive to the Country Club with the family and had locked himself in the Jungle. Not until Nella had gone downstairs to plead with him had he changed his mind.

"What did you discuss during that five minutes?" Plowman tisked. "My cousin's marriage had come as a surprise to the family; we discussed it," Hugh replied briefly.

Guarded by . a state trooper, Craig and Marta had waited in the library end whether or not Craig had persuaded Marta to slant her testimony toward his theory of the murder. Sidney could not know. He doubted it. Finally Gundrum was called. ''Let's get this over with as quickly as possible," he snzpprd. "I have an 11 o'clock class in the morning, and must make an early train. It's 2 o'clock now." "Sorry, Professor. I will have to hold you ull here for tit I -d i tours. urU-ss sxvzQXhicz defi t;;is curious world a lO ADOUT c THAT OF OP2 WORE THAN GC3JUARE AAILXES.

In his idleness he may get at the "secret of how men have been able to clothe their ideas in shining shin-ing forms and launch them into the world." Stevenson feels that extreme busyness is a symptym of deficient de-ficient vitality and that "a faculty facul-ty for idleness indicates wide interests in-terests and a strong sense of personal per-sonal identity." He says there are too many people about who are sort of "deadalive" individuals who are scarcely conscious of living liv-ing except when they are performing per-forming habitual, conventional acts. They have no curiosity about the people or the world about them. He fays if they have to wait for a train they fall into a stupid trance and that to see them one would think there was nothing to look at at hand and no one to speak with. This state is not idleness as Stevenson regards it. Such individuals, lie claims have thought of nothing but work for their own selfish advantage and nite turns up to release you from possible implication." "Can he do that, Braitwood?" Craig demanded angrily. 'I'm sorry to say that he has the authority. We shall all have to make the best of it, Gundrum." "Fire away, Mr. Policeman," Gundrum directed, grimly.

"You will," ho explained, "find my fingerprints in the storeroom if you care to look. I moved several sev-eral pieces of large furniture to look behind them." Before leaving, he managed to give his theory of the crime to Plowman. As it stood, allowing that the murderer had been after a mythical map or one of the rare old weapons, it was not impossible impos-sible that Adam Langdon had been shot by someone either already al-ready hidden in the Jungle, who had left after the door was opened, or by a person who had entered under cover of da-kness. Apparently. Plowman was impressed. im-pressed. "TIIEN- Marta's turn came, it flashed into Sidney's mind that this was the strangest "entrance" "en-trance" she was ever to make. "How did you find your way to the lioness in pitch darkness, Miss Hcmpfield?" Plowman asked gently. "I have played Lady Macbeth, Captain Plowman," Marta told him, simply. "In my sleepwalking scene I had to reach a given place with my eyes closed. At first I counted rny steps, but after a while I found I could judge distance without with-out counting. This evening Mr. Langdon had pointed out to me that he had placed his new lioness directly in front of the door, a place of honor. I knew that if I turned at a right angle when I touched her I would be in direct line for the door, so I started with one hand held out." Both men knew what that outstretched out-stretched hand had encountered. They listened, fascinated by the sheer drama of the recital. "I couldn't see. I groped." She paused and continued, "I touched Adam's coat. I thought at first it was a thief, and terror gripped me. But I did not scream then. I reasoned that if the man thought I believed I'd touched one of the specimens, he would remain immobile im-mobile as he was.

On the other hand, the idler, in this cutural sense, "is in a state fif intense activity of the powers of observation, the imagination, of the sense of enjoyment. Robert Burton, a 10th century poet, says that idleness is an appendix to nobility, and William Cowpwor, who lived two centuries later wrote : "How various his employments, whom the world Calls idle, and who justly in return Lstcems that busy world an idler too!"
