VPeace Is a Matter of Simple Needs Fulfilled i Because the Atlantic ocean is wide and our ways of thought are rather careless, it is easy to lose sight of tlm Hiluman realities back of the "war crisis" headlines. We read that Germany does this, Britain does that, and Czechoslovakia does some other thing, and we tend to turn those abstractions into flesh-and-bloocf actors. The prime ministers and v chancellors hold the center of he stage aldng with thegenerals ; but we don't begin to .understand vha.t is going on unless we constantly remember the millions upon millions of ordinary human beings whom these actors represent. ' It is these millions who will pay for any war that takesH place pay for it in blood and agony and tragic unhappiness. And at the same time it is the sum total of their hopesr their disappointments, their ideals, and their thwarted individual questings for happiness that has brought the world to the edge of war. What a human being wants out of this life is not, after all, anything very elaborate or complex, usually. He wants a chance to earn his bread and make his home, a little security against want, assurance that he can bring up his children under decent conditions, a bit of leisure in which to seek recreation and that's about all. It isn't much ; yet the ordinary person, assured of it, would fight no wars, hate no neighbors, and support no armies. Now what lies back of this war crisis is the simple fact that the orda nary man in Europe isn't getting that little bit which is his heart's desire or, if he' is, he fears that his neighbor is about to take it away from him. And whether this particular crisis is passed or not, there will never rbe a secure and lasting peace until men everywhere are assured of the satisfaction of those simple desires. Those desires could be satisfied. Europe's fields, mines, and factories could produce the things her people need. Peaceful trade, fostered on a basis of meeting the needs of the people of each country instead of being geared to provide pro-vide this, that or the other nation with "economic self-sufficiency," could distribute those things where they were needed. But that isn't done. Hardly an attempt to do it is made. And because, without it, larger and larger numbers of people peo-ple are forced to go without these few essentials for human contentment, Europe-today is a welter of fear, hatred, asigjy,.and suspicion. sfoifik makes wjaraJmojst inevitable. The people of Europe can have the things they want Jf they go after them in the right way. The tragedy of this moment is that they are heading instead down a dark and bloody road which will exact a fearful toll from them and leave them as far as ever from their real goal.

Thought this one was a bumble-bee at first. They are both the heavy-duty trucks among insects, and fly lumberingly, with a strained, low-gear sort of pace. Horse-flies are stupid fellows, I remembered. As a kid I had seen the big black fellows with the monstrous eyes worry away at a heavy leather backhand on a horse for a long time before finally deciding there was no juice to be had from it. But never did I expect to see a living creature so badly fooled as this one I was now looking at. He was buzzing around the shiny black metal top of a new automobile. Actually, I think he was looking for a nice soft spot in which to sink his threer cornered well driller. What modern times have done to that horse-fly! .-,1 .ftm't sup-J pose there was a horse within a mile or more of that shiny automobile. auto-mobile. There was a blue automobile auto-mobile beside the black one, but it had no attraction for the horse-fly. Black was his color and he stuck to it, until he tired of looking for a soft spot in that modern mechanical horse. Poor fiy. Next stop on my list was the hardware store in my , . town. There, strange to say, I saw another an-other reminder of horses. A pair of leather halters hung on a peg. I asked the hardware man if he had much call for halters or for other horse gear. "No call at all any more," he said. "Those halters are the SHAD RETREAT, T. M. RC& ). . - 'CQyui 13 st Bright Moments in Great Lives The animosity between Thomas Benton, aenator from Missouri, and Foote of Mississippi was well known in the old days. One day Foote angrily said he would write a little book in which Benton would figure very largely. Benton, Ben-ton, hearing of it, replied: "And X shall write a very large book In which he shall not figure at all!" f ; ' 1 1 SCIENCE I Developed at a cost of more than $500,000 a new deep-sea dredge which can shovel up the ocean bottom from a depth .of 700 feet has just been tried near Monterey, Calif. The demonstration demonstra-tion was held before the representatives repre-sentatives of U. S. navy, coast guard and geodetic survey. The dredge, which weighs 10 tons, is the result of 20 years' experimentation, experi-mentation, and has broueht to the . surface the 'first appMda&iel amount of ocean bottom ever taken from such a depth. The invention is expected to greatly affect industry which deals In submarine projects. A long rubber hose, with specifically spe-cifically designed fittings, has been placed on the market. Its use is to transfer air from each of the three sound tires of a car to a fourth tire which has gone down partially flat because of a slow leak, eliminating the need of changing- tires, until a service station has been reached.

"It's hard to put in words" she broke off; glanced out the opened window, across the roofs of Manhattan. Her gaze focused on something far above the skyline: sky-line: an air dragon, emitting streamers of smoke vapor which formed the name of a cigaret; also the name of a great horse which had wdn the Derby and the Preakriess and the Belmont Stakes.
