The Casual Age One of the most amazing things about the present generation, gen-eration, or ae is the casual way we accept the most magical magi-cal of miracles. Some cne announces: "Television is here." So we accept., television as being here. Actually we know it isn't exactly here, but we feel quite sure it is just around the corner for this is the age when anything, little matter how wondrous, can be perfected once conceived or begun. Six "flying, fortresses" of the United States Army Air Corps carryinri9 men hop off casually from Maimi, fly 2695 miles to Lima. Peru, nonstop, land for six hours and continue the flight i Buenos Aires. The trip is a matter of hours and of small comment in this country. Why not. Other airplanes hop around, here and there, across land and sea. We were told several years ago that big bombers would eventually be able to cruise thousands of miles in war or peace, without difficulty. The time has arrived unnoticed, that's all. I ekes Speaks It would be interesting to ltration had in mind as Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes delivered his speech against Fascism the other day a speech that was broadcast in practically every English-speaking part of the world. Whatever the government's attitude in allowing Mr. Ickes to lambast totalitarianism as the greatest threat in the modern world, it isn't hard to perceive the interpretation foreign democracies will place upon it. With England and France lxth trembling in crises over what attitude and action to take while Hitler is calmly annexing an-nexing Central Europe. Ickes' speech must have sounded anything but disinterested. And if France and England wanted to interpret the speech as encouraging them in a stand against Germany, as practically promising aid in such a stand, they could very easily go that far. Perhaps that was what the administration administra-tion wanted France and England to assume. Low Mark For Dr. Conant "No one knowshow serious is the unemployment of university men. but it seems to me highly probable that a diminution in the total number of students in the universities universi-ties of this country is desirable." So says Harvard President Presi-dent James B. Conant. We say it is not desirable. There is no logic in the suppositions that a reduction In the number of university students would reduce unemployment unem-ployment generally, that less competition for jobs demanding demand-ing university training would achieve a good end or that lack of a university education makes unemployment any asier for the unemployed individual to bear. No, the most salutary desideratum would be to have a sufficiency of jobs to employ all university men and women who have whatever it takes to complete a university course vvith honor. Plowing under ambitious youngsters is the very last thing this nation should try as a cure for its discomforting but not necessarilv fatal woes. know iust what the adminis- BUSINESS MEN'S CHORAL I Was Thinking By ELSIE O. CARROLL (Continued from Last Week) Some of the early books were made of metal leaves upon which the writing was engraved. Lead was popular for this purpose, as was gold, silver and copper. Later, parchment was u made from the skins of goats, sheep and deer. A reminder of this period in the evolution of books is our term "Sheepskins" for diploma. These parchment leaves were sewed together and beautifully embellished em-bellished by the early scribes and monks who devoted their lives to the copying of manuscripts. These old. beautiful manuscripts are among the most interesting objects in the great libraries and museums of the world. Many of them are bound in boards covered with velvet vel-vet or leather and set with prec-ous prec-ous metals and stones. In the old days even universities had but few books. But since the invention of printing in the fifteenth century, which imoort-ant imoort-ant event made books available to everybody, the Book World has gradually grown until it now includes in-cludes the largest prbportion of most people's mental and spiritual (loma.'.i. Experience Related I shall never forget an experience experi-ence I had in the new library at Columbia university. It wa's my first visit to the stacks. There, students admitted to the stacks must find their own way about in that great vast world of books lining what seems acres of wall siace and towering in countless tiers of shelves. There are self-operating elevators eleva-tors up and down to the various levels. I succeeded in finding the section I wanted and became lost in the material i was seeKing. After awhile it dawned on me that no one had been using the elevators eleva-tors for some time. There were r-nv electric 1 'hts and no way of determining the time of day exrent from time pieces. I dis- ; covered that mv watch was stop ped I felt that I had been there for wns it hours, or davs. or centuries with Samuel Johnson and his famous circle? I decided that it must at least be the middle of the nirdit. The library was t .rhar?s closed. I suddenly was panic stricken as I made mv wav to the elevator 1 thought I had used t'o come down. But it didn't t.-ie me to the right part of the main level. There was a bewildering bewilder-ing maize of norrow corridors between be-tween tall walls of books. I was as lost as if I had been in a ftr.-mre city. I entered the elevator ele-vator again and went down to the level where I'd been working. But my second effort to find my vav out was as futile as the f'rst. As T thought of spending the night there, at first I was terrified. Somehow I felt that I was in a cemetery. Then, as T realized the foolishness of mv fec-ltngs. T had a strange new sensation. sen-sation. What was there to fear or dread in such a place? The books that had seemed to stare at me ivi a sinister manner a moment before, now assumed their familiar forms I loved Why. I was in the presence of arl the great poets, dramatists, philosophers the world had ever known. The realization filled me with awe. The stillness seemed to palpitate with great I personalities of all the ages. I found myself trembling as I at- GROUP OUT OUR WAY BY REQUEST S x PAU I ' VA M - - ' ' ' " 1 fJED 7HIUK IT FUWWV Q'TW?

Spell Is Broken The srell they had suddenly cast upon me was broken by the sound of a descending elevator. Another student came down the corridor in search of some bit of that stored wjjdom of the ages. Reluctantly I relinquished my mood of wonder. I made a few-inquiries, few-inquiries, turned to another aisle, ascended to the main floor to a late afternoon of the present world from that brief period within the timeless world of great books, more than books. Thev are real treasures. I agree with Wordsworth's Words-worth's statement: There are few things I love ures. I agree with Wordsworth's statement: "Books, we know. Are a substantial woild.both pure and good; Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood Our pastime and our happiness will grow." UNION PACIFIC .

And with that observation I hurry along like Alice's white rabbit, to declare that I resent that strange manifestation of the race's relationship to jungle baboons the big apple. A good time ? Yes, ty all means and for all concerned. But vhy not keep our good-timing on an upward trend. Why rus'h out for so-called pleasures that make us smile apologetically or embarrassedly , when we indulge them. Why return to the half-insane attitude of prohibition days, when supposedly normal men and women spent their days and nights in pursuit of a phantom "good time" that always implied finding find-ing a supply of bootleg or homemade home-made liquor of varying degrees of poisonousness. The big apple, I suppose, is just a natural outgrowth of the, howling "individualistic" syncopations synco-pations known as swing music. They are first cousins, surely, and each is worthy of the othe" Now I am not an old cross-patch, cross-patch, nor misanthrope. nor Scrooge who sees virtue only in dullness, drabness, in folded hands and bated voice.
