Norris of Nebraska will retire from public life at the end of his present term in the senate he has a year to serve is bad news for all Americans who believe in good government. Few men have served in the senate as long as Senator Norris, and few have left so great an imprint on the political life of their time. Desite the fact that he has been "agin" things most of the time, he has had some exceedingly substantial accomplishments accom-plishments on the positive side. He put over the "lame duck" amendment almost single-handed, thereby making our federal fed-eral government more efficient. He wrote his own power program into federal law. He persuaded his own state to abolish its cumbersome, old-fashioned form of government and adopt a new one in tune with the times. These are great achievements for a man who has consistently con-sistently played a lone hand. The United States senate will be immeasurably the poorer when George Norris leaves it. Haste Is the Killer It is haste rather than speed that is dangerous on the highways. So says a report on traffic engineering submitted submit-ted to the American Safety Congress by Arnold H. Vey, traffic traf-fic engineer of the New Jersey Motor Vehicles department. Mr. Vey makes a point which is obvious, but which we are continually forgetting: to-wit, that a rate of speed which is perfectly safe under some conditions can be in the highest degree dangerous under other conditions. The driver who skims along a good road in the open country at 50 miles an hour may be proceeding with full care for the safety of others ; but if he maintains that speed while passing through towns or in heavy traffic, or on winding or slippery roads, he is a menace to public safety. Speed in itself is all right. But speed added to haste means tragedies. Copper Prices U p A short time ago copper prices reached a new high for ttie year, even slightly exceeding the artficial price structure established under the defunct NRA. That means demand is bettering supply is being more closely adjusted to consumption surplus stocks are being reduced. And it is to be hoped that it means an end to "bargain "bar-gain counter" copper. A normal, fair price for the basic red metal, coupled with good and constant demand, would mean a great upswing up-swing in mining. i i SCIENCE M.

Bright Moments In Great Lives Following Napoleon's hurried retreat re-treat from Moscow, Marshal Ney was left with a detachment of 600 men to bring up the extreme rear guard at Smolensk. For days he did not arrive, and Napoleon feared he had been killed or captured, and his men with him. When he did return, Napoleon's joy knew no bounds. It had been suggested that Ney might have joined forces with the Russians. When told that this had been suggested to Napoleon, Ney said: "Better an army of deer commanded com-manded by a lion than an army of lions commanded by a deer." Although there are more than 420 known carnivorous plants, none of them actually consumes human flesh. k VINRYARn I 1 l Reporter Phone Ol-R-4 ! MRS. GEORGE F.

But she had to decline Jo's invitation to come into the upstairs room and finish their discussion of Drann .and his screen test. "I'd like to talk to you about a cumber of things," Lolita told Jo. "but I've plenty on the schedule today. And I'll talk to you later about that sandwich shop." She reached into her bag and drew forth a letter. "Here ... 1 Just dropped by to deliver this. I nev sr dreamed I'd be cast in the role of Cupid!" Jo took the letter and glanced at the handwriting. It was from Bret, and addressed to Jo "in care of Miss Lolita Montez, Atlas Pictures Pic-tures Corporation, Hollywood." "Thanks so much." Jo said. "I'm afraid I'm being a terrible nuisance to you." "Forget it," the actress advised iightly. "Have to run now . . . '11 see you later." The moment she had said goodly good-ly to Lolita, Jo turned back into aer room and shut the door. Then the glanced again at the familiar, iprawling handwriting of Dret Paul the handwriting she remem-ered remem-ered so well on notes and themes md book covers, from their days together at the University. She tad thrilled once over those heavy, nasculine pen-strokes, but now she ras curiously calm about them. She opened the letter and read: "Dear Jo I don't know whether wheth-er this will reach you. bat I'm taking the chance and sending It in tare of Lolita Montez at the Atlas 6tudio. I haven't any idea why you left Crest Lake wheth er it was because you are in love with Fragonet or for some other reason. But Tubby wrote me that you didn't know until months later that it was I who yanked you out of the lake that day. It wasn't much of a stunt. I'll admit, but It did hurt a little lit-tle when you never mentioned it. But now I know why. "I'm leaving here soon, for Marsh is talking about closing the place for the season.

DELOW bis signature was a hasty postscript which mad? Jo smile. "When Drann was here he told me 1 ought to get some thing in the studios in Hollywood." She found that postscript more then amusing. It was so filled with masculine ego: and when com pared with the rest of the letter It was so Irrelevantly concerned with Bret Paul In Hollywood and not Jo Darien. Slowly Jo read the tetter again, trying to determine what there was about It that alienated tier. The words were right, but something was ?one something that should have oeeu there if he really loved her as he said. "Why shouldn't I come to Hollywood. Jo? Remember the two weeks we planned tor Placid Beach?" There was something cold and calculating, something almost repulsive to Jo in those two short questions. But she put the letter carefully Into the top drawer of the bureau, telling herself that, after all. she had given Bret little cause to write a revealing letter. And he had never been romantic with words ("like Fragonet." she thought Perhaps she had no right to doub: this one letter which had reached her in Hollywood. About all Bret's letter did was to remind Jo again, this time with effect, that she must write her parents. par-ents. She sat down now and wrote the long overdue letter, being rather vague about why and bow she had left Crest Lake, and fibbing a little about her prospects in the City of Cinema. It was not until she had finished this letter that she framed a note to Bret. The answer was more difficult than she'd imagined. She tore up five or six beginnings which had led her into saying things she did not really want to say. At last she wrote only half a. dozen lines. They were lines telling him that Bbe appreciated ap-preciated his kindness and his interest, in-terest, but saying nothing about his professed love and suggesting gently that there was no need for him to corns to Hollywood on her account. "I really don't know whether I'll stay here much longer." she wrote, "so perhaps it will have to be some summer at Placid Beach, after all if it's going to be anywhere." any-where." CHE was thinking of Dila Saun ders when she wrote that last a brightly blond Dila Saunders in the arms of a too eager Bret Paul. Hurriedly Jo folded the note paper into its envelope, dampened the flap and sealed the answer with a definitely punctuating blow from her small fist. Remembering a letter-box at the corner, Jo took the two missives immediately and dropped them into the clattering green slot. Returning Return-ing to the little stucco bungalow she saw Drann's roadster draw alongside the curb. The director hopped out rather breathlessly and raised his hat.

There could be no possible harm in letting let-ting the actress know, and Jo felt she owed it to Montez for all her kindness. Besides, there was the possible chance Drann was not telling tell-ing the truth. Perhaps. Jo cautioned cau-tioned herself, that was why he suggested secrecy. But before the morning was much older Jo received a telephone call from the Atlas studio. A woman's wom-an's voice, carefully modulated, said. "This is" Mr. Bbleson' office of-fice at Atlas. ... Is this Miss Darien ?" "Y-yes." Jo's voice was trembling. trem-bling. "One moment, please. Mr. Boleson Bole-son wishes to talk with you." Jo wondered if she would be able to speak at all when Boleson took the wire. In a panic, she was tempted to test her voice; then suddenly she heard a deep masculine. mascu-line. "Miss Jo Darien?" "Yes." "Miss Darien, I am very anxious to talk with you. Could you possibly pos-sibly come to my office at 3 this afternoon?" "Why, yes . . . "Good! At 3, then. It's very kind of you, Mis Darien. Good-by." Good-by." .(To Be Continued). |
