The Memory of War Gives the World Pause " What1 was it, in, the long run, that prevented Europe's - leaders from opening the sluice-gates of slaughter and turning turn-ing millions of the brightest and best of its youth into dead " men? . . Was it Chamberlain's dramatic nlav for time, which gave reason a chance to -exert . ary patience and restraint of the Czechs? Was it the dawning dawn-ing realization of Hitler that a long World War on the scale of 1918 would drag him down in general ruin? Was it Presi-; Presi-; dent Roosevelt's calm appeal? AU of' these things were factors, of course. But the biggest factor was a great ground-sweir of murmuring from , the people of all the world that they didnot want and would .. not havq war. Let no man suppose that V corner meetings in Germany and Italy, peace sentiment had no effect in those countries. Hitler knows, and Mussolini knows, that after the first flush of excitement for a war come the casualty lists. And after the first 50,000 come the second-60,000, the stream of telegrams telling families that Eric orAntonio isn't coming home any more. Mussolini knows that' there was far less enthusiasm for the casualty lists from Ethiopia and Spain than there was for the embarkations. Hitler may remember, himself. Britain has a larcre and vocal pacifist sentiment. Britain will fight, but only for a situation that unquestionably and directly threatenBritain. . - France can Scarcely afford anyv more Ravish gestures than a determination to fight under similar conditions. The crisis passes, the world draws a deep breath. The question of whether strict justice has been done to Czechoslovakia-merges into the questrorfof how strict justice was donehen her border lines wer drawrn in 1918. The Spanish war, it is rumored, may be liquidated soon. They are tired of the Rilling there, and there is a rumor that in Japan they are tired too, tired of that endless stream of little black lacquer boxes that pours in from China with the ashes of Japan's best youth. Howmuch ofthe world's woe today is due to the fact thatXet'ween i914 and 1918 we killed off eight and a half millions of the best, strongest, most talented of the world's young men ? As the World war was largely fought in "vain, so this crisis,-only less terrible than' war itself, will have been in vain if people or the World do not insist more and more .strongly: "This is not good enough! We insist on leadership leader-ship in the world that is wise enough, and strong enough, and sane enough, to see thatthfs does not happen again !" "U. S. to Name Subs After Fish" reads a headline.

Ye Old Sygnet BY X REPORTER The use of old-fashioned snuff boxes, with their artificial hay ever, jjWjU never .be reyiYed 1 nope, buc mere are some items on the habit lists of an earlier day's culture that I should wel come back. For instance: Hoop skirts, signet rings, the minuet. Speaking of signet rings: There was a quaint and gracious custom of such utilitarian value that, with just a little urgence, it could come back to us and be- daily lives. In the beginning the stamped waxen seal was used to seal packets pack-ets not otherwise sealed. Our modern envelopes, with their glue-coated glue-coated flaps, have removed the primary necessity. Tongues are still the great American sealers, altho there are moist sponges and more elaborate sealing devices in every man's office. The use I am thinking of for the old-fashioned wax signet and signet ring is for the sealing of ultra personal or highly important import-ant messages. Let no man or woman fake importance thru its use, and let no office assistant anywhere open such a seal or treat such sealed mail with anything any-thing but deep respect. There are so many letters nowadays. now-adays. An average business executive ex-ecutive cannot take the time to handle his own mail.

She was a fool to give up a brilliant chance like that 4 chance to become be-come staff writer on a national magazine. Writing was her field: she didn't know a darn thing about horse racing. She straightened. 'You fool!" she told herself. "You asked for it; now you've got to take it" No, she wouldn't go back. That would admit defeat. She'd carry on somehow "Miss Linda," Norman was at the doorway, "I turn out the light. Uncle Sandy he gone to sleep," he said. "Thank you, Norman," she said bniskly. Then, "Norman, can't you get us a cook? I'm going to stay a while. It'll be too much for you, cooking and handling the colt, too." Norman thought a moment. "There be Sis' Callie Tompkins; but " he stopped. But what?" "Well, ma'am," Norman shuffled his feet. "She be a good church member, but she she got a powerful pow-erful bad temper." "Can She cook?

Letters marked "personal and confidential" used to take the right of way with senators and representatives in Washington. Now there's merely a "personal and confidential" secretary, who holds that designation for mail purposes. Too many constituents learned the trick. Lately I've used a signet, hoping thus to attract attention to the "personal" mark on the fore side of the envelope. It has worked, I believe. A long time ago, having become enamored of an ancient Greek tetradrachm, a silver coin in use at the beginning of the Christian era, I had it set into a silver ring by a master craftsman. It is heavy enough to throw a hand off balance bal-ance in typing or so I think and so it is not ordinarily in use. Pallas Athena s owl makes a X.

Linda laughed a hollow laugh, This was the romantic Blue Grass! " , Suddenly, she remembered Uncle-Sandy's snatching that en velope from her; the envelope Bruce had given to him quite casually, as though of no moment What was to it that Uncle Sandy wanted to keep it from her hands? Uncle Sandy had opened it when he hurried off Ho if the colt be bedded down." There was something in it be didn't want Linda ' to know; something, she felt she should know of. ' She thought a ' moment Yes, she was going to look into that envelope. Maybe she shouldn't; but if she was going to look after. Uncle Sandy, she should know the condition of his affairs. She felt that envelope contained something some-thing QUIETLY she went inside; peeped into Uncle Sandy's room. By light from the dining room she could see him stretched out, back toward her, in an old-1 fashioned night-shirt Something was sticking out from under the pillow: the envelope. She tiptoed in, reached for the envelope; he gave a sudden start Began turning. She froze in her tracks. He relaxed, snored again. Now she had the envelope, was backing from the room. She bumped against the door-jamb. The wall shook. Again the horseman's horse-man's snoring broke off; once more he started turning. If she were caught! But the old man's head relaxed again on the pillow. Linda edged out, went down the corridor to her room, the spare room, at the end of the hall. She turned on the light, looked at the envelope. No inscription on it She opened it. A half dozen sheets of paper fell on the center-table. center-table. Papers bearing the words: "I promise to pay on demand to William Radford" and signed "Alexander Gordon."

Bruce had been a ' thoroughbred. She had upbraided him unmercifully, and he had said nothing; he could have said plenty. She'd never mention this to Uncle Sandy; but she must apologize apolo-gize to Bruce instantly. She picked up the notes, put them back in the envelope, shaking shak-ing her head. Then went to her uncle' room, slipped, the envelope en-velope beneath his pillow. He was snoring strongly; he wouldn't hear her talking to Bruce. She stepped to the old-fashioned wall telephone in the hall, cranked the handle for central. At last the switchboard operator answered. "Mr. Bruce Radford's, please," she asked, in the country manner. "Yes, ma'am. Try to get him." At last after several minutes of wire-buzzing, she heard, faintly, faint-ly, "Hello hello who you ring-in'?" ring-in'?" "Is that Mr. Radford's farm?" Linda asked. . "Yes, ma'am."
