EVERYDAY
LI V IN G
Too Slow, Too Fut
Two kinds of rebels torment hu
manity, the criminal and the proph
et. One rebels down, seeking tc
drag the race back to a lower law;
the other rebels
| forward, trying to
lift it to a high
level.
One is an indi
vidualist, obeying
his own com
mandment; the
other an idealist,
following a star
visible to himself
alone. One is alntpk ,nt Ne*u"
throwback, the other a throwfor
ward-*-one too slow, the other too
fast.
The criminal defies the estab
lished order to gain his own selfish
end. He refuses to keep step, han
kering after the old life when every
man was his own law. He obeys the
call of the wild.
He makes himself, not society, the
center of the world. He is our con
temporary savage, living by a law
left 'behind. He is a hang-over from
a time long gone by, and so we hang
him.
The prophet also defies the social
order, led by a dream of a better
day, maddened by the injustice
about him, mastered by vision of a
freer, Juster, more happy and whole
some world.
Society, by a sure instinct, knows
both kinds of rebels to be its ene
mies, and put them to death. Alas,
alarmed for its own safety, it makes
no distinction. Both are Isolated,
ostracized.
Here, surely, is one of the crud
est ironies of life, making sinner
and saint suffer the same fate. Yet
how could it be otherwise? The
prophet, if he had his way, would
wreck society.
The prophets are the highlights
of history and we measure progress
by their names; but they are hard
to live with. In despair men kill
them, knowing not what else to do
with men so dangerous.
So it has been always; will it al
ways be so? Men stone the prophet
for his vision, and then pick up the
stones and build a monument to
his memory I The world cannot ad
vance without him!
Outside the city gate Jesus died
between two thieves—all three were
rebels and met the same muddy
fate. Yet the Cross is a symbol of
the love of God and the hope of
man. How strange it is!
TALK
TO
PARENTS
Preventing Diphtheria
By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH
Sam brought a note home from
school asking his parents’ permis
sion to have him Inoculated for
diphtheria. Neither his father nor
his mother had kept enough abreast
of the times to know about the ef«
ficacy of toxin-antitoxin or toxoid.
Instead of inquiring of a doctor
about the value and advisability of
*such preventive treatment, they
talked the matter over with friends
as uninformed as themselves and
decided against it. So Sam was de
prived of the immunity which is
available against one df the most
devastating diseases of childhood.
Pew people doubt the efficacy of
vaccination. Where it is the rule,
the ravages of smallpox, which
killed eg disfigured %uch a large
proportion of our ancestors, have
almost ceased. Health and life in
surance statistics inform us that
where toxin-antitoxin and, more
recently, toxoid have been used, the
incidence of diphtheria, which used
to decimate children between baby
hood and the teens, has so mark
edly decreased as to be almost neg
ligible.
Sa far, however, parents in gen
eral have been slow in taking ad
vantage of the opportunity to safe
guard their children against diph
theria. Many parents who have
had little experience with doctors
have never even heard of the pre
ventive measures which exist.
When they do learn of these pre
entives, they too often follow the
course of Sam's parents.
Not only is diphtheria immedi
ately fatal in many cases, but it
may leave a child handicapped for
life with a weakened heart or some
other marked disability. The least a
parent can do is to give the mat
ter serious consideration and seek
expert, not lay, advice.

Sundown Stories
For The' Kiddies
Cleaning House
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
The day was fine and clear. "I
.think," said Willy Nilly to Sweet
j Face, the iamb, “that I'll clean
i house today, and get the others to
help me—not my own house but the
empty house which used to belong
to the Qalumps and now belongs
to us."
"Are you going to rent the rooms
or take in 'stray, lonely, lost ani
mals and birds this winter?” asked
Sweet Face. /
“Christopher,” he continued,
“thought you might do some rent
ing and that you could receive
bright shiny coins in payment."
“Christopher is quite a business
crow," laughed Willy Nilly.
“Well, he does get around, baa,
baa."
“I’m not doing too much plan
i ning about the house,” Willy Nilly
went on. But it will be a shelter if
it is needed. For the moment I
have something else in mind."
“And you want to clean it?” ask
ed Sweet Face.
“Yes, I must get some brooms
and soap and rags and pails and
take them over in my automobile
Two Ways. Then I’ll gather togeth
er the rest of the Puddle Muddlers
and get them to help me. I’ll take
you over tomorrow—for I do be
lieve I’ll take off your cast then.”
Willy Nilly got together every
thing he could And for cleaning.
Then he asked the ducks to join
him, and Top Notch, and Chris
topher Columbus Crow and Rip.
“We're going over to the empty
house and give it a real cleaning.”
“You seem all excited about it,”
barked Rip.
“I am,” sa'fl Willy Nilly. “Maybe
111 tell you why. In fact, I'm quite
sure that I’ll tell you why.”

Third Term Possibilities
Still Confuse Politicians
Bv BYRON PRICE
Chief Of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington
Among the politicians there are
| three schools of thought on the
| much-discussed subject of a third
, term for President Roosevelt.
A surprisingly large number are
, reasoning that Mr. Roosevelt, with
I his flair for precedent-smashing
would welcome a third nomination,
, and will silently look forward to
j such an event in 1940.
Others believe he has no inten
(tion whatever of being a candidate
! again, and will be forced by the
pressure of circumstances to say
so definitely before his second ad
ministration is far advanced.
Still others are of the opMon
that, not intending to run in 1940,
he nevertheless will refrain from
making any statement, thus using
his silence as a lever to maintain
hij party control during the next
four years.
Of course none can possibly
know the answer except the Presi
dent himself. It is not the sort of
thing he would discuss at this stage
with his friends. If he made any
decision now it would be because
of the public situation, and in that
case his statement would be ad
dressed to the public.
So again he has the politicians
guessing. No one loves such an ad
vantage better than he. and the
logic of the case argues that he
will keep things as they are for
a long time to come.
• • *
Real Problems Ahead
It cannot be supposed, however,
that all of the fun of this situation
will be on the side of the President,
and all of the embarrassment on
the side of those who are trying to
read his mind.
Whatever he does—whichever of
the three cburrs he adopts Mr.
Roosevelt Is certain to encounter
some complications. They may be
more than offset by the extraor
dinary advantage he enjoys, but
they are likely to present real
problems, nevertheless, and lead to
much Presidential reflection.
A decision to run again, or even
any gesture which would give the
impression of such a decision, would
have obvious repercussions. Even as
matters stand, congressional de
bates have been, sprinkled with
charges of "dictatorship” and a
“king complex." A resurgence of this
attack, linked with third-term dis
cussion, might conceivably cripple
his legislative program during his
second term.
Any public statement that he
would not accept another nomina
tion would tend to weaken his po
sition for another reason. His ali
enee would be a club, warning em
bryonic resurrectionists within the
party that they might again have
him to deal with as party leader in
1940. A renunciation would remove
that club front hU hands.
Finally, if he decided not to run
but kept hU decision to himself,
there again would be disadvantages
as well as advantages. Chief among
the embarrassing factors would be
the resentment of men In his own
party who want to run in 1940
themselves.
