The wonder is not that we get along so badly together, but, rather, that we manage at all. Through our blun-dersor- invent ions we have heapinto one ed ourselves together brawling, huddled mess, and we well don't get along very together is The reason very simple.

It seems people have been drawing the wrong conclusions. You have it now on the word oi two men Everybody of science that being beautiful hasnt anything at all to do with the liveliness of lie processes that go on inside I think-tan- k. The two daring investigators interviewed 000 plain and fancy girl students at the University of California, and came up with the following findings: that the beauteous ones weren't as apt to cop good grades as their less fetching sisters, BUT that the reason wasnt dumbness, but popularity. The plain girls had plenty of time to concentrate on their studies; the beautiful girls were forced to do their studying on the fly, between sessions of attending to more imimrtanl matters, such as dates, dances, drives in the country. So, all you beautiful girls, you can take a new lease on life now. No more of that anguished worrying about the quality of your mental processes ; no more of those long nights of crying into your pillow. And fellows, you wont have to duck behind a pillar when you see a beautiful girl coming now. You can go right ahead and date her and itll be all right. You wont have to feel embarrassed at all. INTERNATIONAL ETIQUET about it? The exchange of speeches when DID new Ambassador to Germany presented his credentials to Hitler was utterly devoid of the customary expressions of burning affection and mutual devotion. There was almost a touch of chill in the air. The whole thing was completely lacking in sentimentality. The two you read didnt even kiss. Things are coming to a pretty pass. Before you know it these modern diplomats wont even be bothering with touehng gloves first; they wont even be waiting lor the . bell. he ' ghastly.

The Turks know they have the only right way of life, hut so do the Americans. Itnliuns join (icrimuis in thumliing their noses at Russians, while England proudly boasts the greatness and sanity of the British Empire. There are some 70 separate nations in this world, speaking 2,702 different languages, and each nation has its pride. Its history, its flag, customs, habits, religions. And every nation is snapping at the other countries In misunderstanding. ing? There is the exuberant delight of human beings to feel superior, and thus the German feels superior to the American and the cannibal, to the Frenchman and the Eskimo. What'S more, those nato the tionalities feel superior Germans. In fact, one of the greatest disgrace, and most stinging slaps in the face to an Eskimo is to rail him a white man! This individual feeling of superiority takes on quite comical forms, and shows itself in all animal nature. It is funny in the and funnier in the four-legge- Philosophers, poets, s, dramatists, sta t e s m e n, and men on relief merrily conspire together to prove that men of their particular beliefs. standing and special pigmentation have an inside track on truth and right and should inherit the earth. of superiority is This build-u- p what is causing international misunderstanding t an even greater e .tent than ever before, and is threatening civilization itself. Mussolini believes his people are superior to any others, and to prove it he has his statesmen and public officials leap through rings of fire and over rows of bayonets in a curious sort of ordeal that puts the man on the flying trapeze to shame.

But the Japs consider themselves a superior race, uml believe the world should have the advantage of their superior guidance. So far as the Germans are concerned, the 'Germans ure the superior people, but the French refuse to believe thut contention, for thev know the French are the best. Britain is sure she has produced the best men of the world, while Russia claims to be the most progressive country on earth. And of course, we Americans are positively certain we make the best automobiles and keenest the have airplanes, thinkers and greatest inventors, and live under the best form And, too, we of government. have a long record of trying to persuade the Fiji Islanders to wear pants. This feeling of superiority Is not confined merely to nations. It enters into religious groups and personalities to as great an extent, and with as many undesirable results. And this feeling continues to breed misunderstanding. I suppose every church on earth considers Itself the only right and true church, with its destiny directly in the hands of God. Every other church, of course, is not the right church, however it may be full of good. Every individual considers his wav of doing things a good deal better than the other fellows, and he is just a little puzzled that the other guv cannot understand and accept his great destiny.

Behind the Scenes in X-Repor- By RODNEY BUTCHER WASHINGTON, July 22 President Roosevelt's attempt to encompass defeat of certain senators and election of others in the 1938 Democratic primaries is It will be only a curtain-raisefollowed by two exciting, turbulent political years as F. D. R. plunges ahead with his crusade to liberalize the Democratic party and to control its 1940 nominations This will be true regardless of the degree of faliure or success of 1938 purge efforts, say Roosevelt's intimates. The President left on his western trip happier than ever. He feels he has created a situation where political realignment is inevitable and that it's more fun fighting down a In these days if doleful prophet tells me that on such a day dire calamity will befall, or wishes me to take stock in any gloomy whatsoever, I discount him and his forecasts all the way from 90 to 100 per cent. Almost ever since I can remember little groups and cliques of persons who thought they had a special message from on high, have been preparing for the end of the world on a certain date and so far they have all been badly fooled. One such group. I recall, took the trouble to give and bequeath all their worldly goods to others who did not believe with them, in proof of the sincerity of their belief. What possible good such track than playing worldly trinkets would be to the straight-lin- e the part of a shifty politician. recipients after the end of the Presidential strategy after No- world, I never could quite see. vember will be worked out as As a child, far down below the time goes on.

WHY STEEL CUT PRICES Various reasons behind in steel prices and virtual elimination of the basing point system by U. S. Steel Corporation have been revealed, but not all. A direct threat by Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold of criminal laws prosecution under anti-trust to have been one factor. Anyway, it was an open secret that the justice department was planuing such proceedings. But the final push was given at a secret meeting of the American Iron and Steel Institute on Wednesday, June 22. President Eugene Grace' of Bethlehem Steel arose, said something had to be done and declared Bethlehem was going to cut prices on its own. is supposed With that Steel we thought. I was youngest, information, U. S. executives worked feverishly and brought, out a new pried schedule on June 2t, effective the 25th. Whether its price cuts were bigger than anything Grace contemplated isn't known, but ending the basing point system was a direct blow to U. S. Steel's competitors.

But if this purge flops and the Old Guarders return to Washington next winter stronger and sorer than ever, then Roosevelt in 1940 is a very distinct possibility. ilsi I" iCai married man's i,j ting a new wardrobe his felt hat cleaned.
