PROMISES
Thirty years ago Herbert
Croly wrote a book which
he called “The Promise of
American Life.” Croly
couldn’t foresee such event?
as the First World War and
its hangover the 1929 de-
pression and the Second
World War. But even in
that h'h dimmed now bv
three great catastrophes the
author found the need not
for <he preservation of
democracy but for conscious
political effort directed to-
ward such salvation.
Croiv was more or less a
pioneer in articulating the
spirit that is dominant in
America today. He believ-
ed in the free exercise of
liberal thought and to this
end he founded a magazine
in 1914. Since then The
New Republic has been gen-
erally recognized as one of
the foremost organs of lib-
eral thinking. It is read by
people with a wide variety
of political philosophies not
because they happen to
agree with everything its
writers say but because here
at least are presented prob-
lems that must be dealt with.
On its twenty-fifth anni-
versary The New Repub-
lic takes time out to cast a
mirror back to the First
World War and to project
on the future the image that
finds using today only as a
focal point. Liberal leaders
in nearly every field of
American life have contri-
buted their views on the
America of tomorrow.
War always blocks clear
view of the future. There
is a tendency not to look too
far ahead not only because
everything is confused but
because there is some doubt
whether there will ever be
a future. But the writers in
The New Republic have
boldly accepted the premise
of America’s tomorrow and
have reiterated the need for
remembering that war in
Europe should not distract
citizens in the United States
from problems at home.
If there is any one thing
in which all of the writers
have faith it is the theory
that modern society needs
intense planning. Vast en-
terprises are accepted as
part of the American sys-
tem. There is no attempt
to tear them down. But there
is a general subscription to
the theory that only through
sound planning and direc-
tion can society get its
money's worth. That goes
for industry labor educa-
tion. agriculture and every
other integral part of Amer-
ican life.
The New Deal has plan-
ned and you like it or you
don’t. But even if you don’t
that will scarcely upset your
faith in the necessity for an
integrated American life.
Every phase of modern life
in this country his become
inter-dependent with every
other aspect of life. Educa-
tion can’t be divorced from
political thought any more
than agriculture’s problems
can be considered inde-
pendently of labor’s. Wheth-
er the planning may be done
by the Democrats or the Re-
publicans or by any other
dominant political party the
almost imperative need for
a pre directed social struc-
ture still exists.

torians as one of the out-
standing examples of nation-

A—In an address at Verona on
September 26. 1938 Mussolini said:
1 still believ* that Europe will re-
fuse to ravage herself with fire and
sword. I still believe that Europe
will refuse to set herself afire in
order to cook Prague* rotten egg
Europe Is fsced by many problems
but certainly the least urgent of all
is that of incressing the number of
wsr cemeteries that rise at such fre-

Q— Are there many plastic sur-
geons? E 8 H.
A—Plastic surgery is so difficult
and delicate an art that there are
only a hundred first-rate praction-

forty are in the United States.

World War.
The Scandinavian nation
traditionally neutral was
under no political compul-
sion to turn the ship back to
its American crew. It had
nothing to gain by interning
the Nazi prize crew and
I freeing the ship. The viola-
tion of international law
cited as grounds for Nor-
way's action would prob-
ably have passed without
even any official protest
from the American govern-
ment. Russia had already
set a precedent by releasing
the ship when the United
States claimed the same
technicality as reason for its
return to the Americans.
International law which
normally has very little if
any standing among nations
during war has been given
a faint glimmer of prestige.
If every other country were
as careful to preserve the
fundamentals of this inter-
national code there might
never have been a war in the
first place.

N.
A—The Belgian Rnbwssy aavs:
"The Beigian Government main-

Congo for domesticating and train-
ing elephants. The principal sta-
tion la at Apt. the subsidiary sta-
tion la at Gangala Na Bodio. Both
are In the northeastern section of
the colony. The training of ele-
phants was first Introduced In the
Beigian Congo by order of H. M
King Leopold II about 1896-1900.
Tha present method of capturing
the animals Is to stampede a herd
of elephants and to lasso and rope
the one selected—preferably a young
elephant 12 to 15 years of age and
measuring at least 6 or 54 feet at
the shoulder. The captive is then
placed between two older trained
elephants (called "monitors") and
led back to camp. Many months
are spent In gentling the ele-
phants. after which they are taught
to bear burdens to plow to puli
stumps to pick up and carry tim-
ber. etc. According to the latest
lnforn^tlon available the "moni-
tora" and the student elephants (at
the two training stations> number
something over one hundred.

Family Doctor
By DR. MORRIS F1SHBEIN
Dr. Henry A. Christian formerly
professor of medicine at Harvard
University la convinced that ex-
cessive exercise is detrimental to
health. There is a difference of
opinion however as to what con-
stitutes excessive exercise.
Since heart disease has become
the leading cause of death doctors
recognize in exercise more injury
than benefit in cases of people who
have indulged too vigorously or
for too long a time. This is par-
ticularly true of men past 50 who
can be found In their clubs still
trying to play handball tennis
volley ball or badminton at a pace
beyond their normal capabilities.
Dr. Christian believes that many
men past 50 indulge In excessive
exercise to reduce their weight.
Most persons tend to add weight
sfter 40 and It Is generally known
that overweight after middle age Is
a hazard to health. Proper reduc-
tion of weight however does not
involve excessive activity. Reduc-
ing should be gradual and should
be accomplished by eating less
starch sugar and fat.
• • •
Exercise has little effect on loss
of weight Because exercise is like-
ly to increase the appetite It is
difficult to reduce in association
with too much exercise.
Dr. Christian especially warns
those who exercised vigorously
when young and who try to keep
up this activity as thev grow old-
er The human body after 50 be-
gins to break down. It cannot un-
dergo the stress that it could tol-
erate In youth. The person past
50 who tries to play 36 holes on a
weekend without keeping suitably
In training is putting a burden on
his heart his kidneys and his other
vital tissues.
Our sense of fatigue is a reason-
able guide to the amount of physi-
cal work In which we can Indulge.
Any exercise Is too vigorous if it
is followed by a restless night or
If one is still tired the next morn-
ing.

Hollywood
By PAl'L HARRISON
NfcA Service Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD—All roads leading
out of Movietown are full of dis-
gruntled tourists who feel that their
loyalty as regular and admiring
customers of the flickers has been
pretty sh.-.bbily rewarded.
Of course fans of the flesh-
and blood theatre don't go to New
York with any idea of having tea
with Katherine Cornell; but pic-
ture-people are different The in-
cessant ballyhoo makes them so.
A tourist in Hollywood sees
signs all over town Inviting him
to "tour the studios ’ for H 50 Bo
he gets on s bus and is whisked
past the high-w’alled glamor fac-
tories while a gent with a mega-
phone chatters tanta.lzl: gly about

By persistence and luck he may
come upon a preview or a big
premiere. But the out of-towner
is no match for the aggressive
scrimmaging of native gawkers so
hes forced to the fringe OT the
mob and warned by a policeman
not to block the street. Pretty
soon he says to hell with It and
goes back to hi* hotel so ured that
he limps right through a gay little
group In ths lobby without recog-
nising Sonja Heme. Anr.e Sheridan
Cesar Romero and Richard Greene.
A young man named D. Newton
Lot got to medltting on the
plight of tourist* in Hollywood
and started a new kind of agency.
He put an ad in the tre 'e papers:
"Attention old-timers bit players
chara -er actors of screen stage
radio and opera: Wealthy visitors
will pay to meet talk t. and en-
tertain you. Register with us Fri
day . . . "
Here* how it s suppose’ to
work: Tourist checks (h at hotel

introduce him to an actor or ac-
tors. All he has to do is go to the
agency iook over a list of names
and photographs maka his selec-
tion and pay a fee. A meeting Is
arranged and the Introduction Is
made at the agency. If the tourist
desires he may toes a cocktail or
dinner party with the actor or
actress as guest of honoi. Or if he
want* to ait down right there and
ask questions about Hollywood
that's okay tx>.
Win or lose. Lott says his agency
will not sene .4 an escort bureau.
If a big spender on the loose comes
in and asks him to dish up a coupel

evening. Lott or one of his assist-
ants will go along and chaperone
everything.

present-day stars at any price
but hes especially hopeful that
visitors will be interested in old-

INSTEAD of phoning Keith
called for Joan at the library
and took her home.
"Take a deep breath and hold
on tight" he aaid. "You’re going
on that hayride after all.”
"Do you mean you’re not—•
"You're going but not with me"
he interrupted.
“Say—what's this all about?"
"Dan Webber ia going to pinch
hit for me.”
An incredulous look spread over
her face but before she could say
anything Keith plunged on. “Hon-
est you’ll enjoy It. And you’ll
probably discover Dan is the swell
egg I've been telling you he is.
Now’s your chance to discover it"
Then breaking Into a grin: "I
wouldn't trust you with anyone
else.”
She didn’t convince easily. "Do
you mean to tell me old sour-puss
himself consented to escort me
anywhere but to the guillotine?
Impossible! What’d you do—
threaten him?”
Keith laughed. "Why. tha guy
just Jumped at the chance.”
"Jumped did he? Why I’ll

stared Into space meditatively.
“Okay” she said and there was
a amile on her face. “Maybe I’ll
have more fun than I expected.**

JT was a crisp moon-drenched
late October night Perfect for
a hayride. They creaked up Pine
Ridge road in two wagons 10
couples in each.
Someone in the first wagon had
a portable victrola and a dozen
swing records. Dan and Joan
were in the second wagon up
front. Just behind the driver. An
arm’s length away Tommy Peters
Ashed for some music on a port-
able radio he had borrowed.
The wagons bumped along over
the dirt road but it was com-
fortable in the deep warm hay.
“Mind if I sort of rest my head
on your shoulder?" Joan asked
without looking up.
"A pleasure and an honor" Dan
assured her and she tossed some
hay in his face with a backward
flip of her hand.
“Don't be so sarcastically gal-
lant"
"Well after all. I'm only a
pinch-hitter you know."
“Sure—but as far as I know
s pinch-hitter always does his best
to make a hit."
She happened to look at the
stars as she spoke and caught the
expression that moved fleetingly
across his face.
“Right?" she asked.
"After a fashion I guess."
Joan smiled in the darkness
She wondered just how far she
could draw him out “Okay skip
it. But Jook—how about telling
me a little about yourself. What
makes you tick and all that sort
of stuff*
“Really interested?"
“Wouldn't ask if I weren't"
He laughed and she settled back
on his shoulder. It was broad and
warm with a certain solidness
about it that didn't come from his
bulk alone.

H* leaned back and told her of
his home in a small down-
state town. He told her of his
kid sister still in high school and
of the time he fell out of the apple
tree and broke his wrist He told
her he had a tough time deciding
between Tech and an eastern
school and finally picked Tech
because of ita ceramic engineering
school.
"How’d you happen to get inter-
ested in that stuff anyway? ” she
asked.
“First of ail don’t refer to it as
‘stuff.’ If you don’t mind that is.
“I worked in a small pottery
plant in our town for a couple of
summers and got to like it.”
He stuck a strand of hay be-
tween his teeth. "And I’m not just
puttering around. I’m just about
assured of a job with one of the
largest pottery plants in the coun-
try when I graduate.”
She liked the quiet confidence
in his tone. Somehow she knew
how he felt. He was preparing for
something and would be ready
to meet it Thera would bo no
wavering no indecision. He knew
exactly what he wanted to do and
was going to do it.
• Where is this plant**"
“Acme Pottery Products near
Pittsburgh."
“Big eh?"
"Very big."
"Maybe you It be president of
the company some day.”
• Maybe I will ”
The evenness of his tone startled
her. She had spoken half in jest
He had answered with a calm that
was almost prophetic.
“You say you’re sure of this
job’”
"Just about. My old foreman
back home recommended me and
the Acme personnel manager liked
my application. Going to see him
in person during the Christmas
holidays.”
She caught the eager note in
his tone. “It must be swell to
know exactly where you’re head-
ed" she said softly staring up at
the stars again.
• e e
UE was silent for a Ion* minute.
"It is. You ought to think
about it sometime. Do you good."
She half turned and faced him.
“Meaning—"
“Meaning take you. for Instance.
You have so much and yet some-
times I think you have so little.”
He paused.
•Go ahead* she said quickly.
Her eyes in the moonlight al-
most whipped him but he man-
aged to continue.
“You just slide through things
taking the path of least resistance.
But you can't do that and feel as
though you're genuinely satisfied
with yourself. Or can you?"
That stung Just a little but she
didn’t resent it. “Dan—you're
right about me but not entirely.
I—I’m not really like that. Some-
how I’ve Just had a faculty for
doing or saying the wrong thing
since I’ve been here.
“And—and Dan"—she placed a
hand on his arm—"I—I don’t want
you to think that I’ve given you
a chance to show me what you
were like. Now you give me a
chance."
They grew silent then and for
the rest of the ride they merely
listened to the music.
Her thoughts raced but fore-
most among them was the fact
that she didn't want Dan Webber
to think she was the unpurposeful
creature he thought her to be.
There was a time when he might
have been right But those were
the days before Tech. He’d find
out in time.
