War In Asia
Suppose. you want an Alaska gold mine. You /hurry to
Alaska, drive off the mine-cwners at a gun-point, solemnly asserting: “Very sorry, but . must defend my home and honor.”
Your home is two thousand miles away, and your honor, in
‘this instance, is a throbbing desire for gleaming gobs of gold.
That, in effect, is exactly what the Japanese are again smugly
doing in China. They're defending themselves, they say. It’s
a kind of defense the world could do with a whole lot less of.
However, the slumbering Chinese Dragon woke up once last
week and biffed the Japanese smack on the nose, and was re.
pulsed. But when the flashy Japanese. lightweight has drained .
Ahis strength drubbing the giant Chinese Hercules, old Flercu.
‘Tes will still be standing there:
Though broadswords, machine guns, and soalae
bombs are battering Chinese and Japanese warriors, this is not
‘War. Japan refuses to call it that so far, When planes rained
bullets and poison gas on fleeing Ethiopians two years ago,
Mussolini didn’t call it War. Today when German regiments
open fire on the Spanish lines, Hitler doesn’t call it War. And
for good reason. These dictator-muscle-men with the false hair
on their chests are afraid to call it War. They rightly suspect
that in the world’s great democracies people despise Wer as
an instrument of power. They know liberty-loving people are
beginning to think common. sense and understanding make
better weapons than blood and bullets. Dictatorships, mental‘ly’sick, use violence to get their way, but they’re terrified to
call it War. They know full well they can’t risk the hate democracies have for that ugly word.
Who Deals the Deathblow? .
.
—
They don’t know it yet, and neither do you nor I, but a
week from this moment in which your eyes are moving over
this line of type, more than half a hundred Californians will
_ die.
Some of them are brighiceved kids shvieking with laughter in the theatre tonight; others are oldsters dreaming tranquilly by the window of the mellow-memoried past; still others are this moment making stalwart plans for the long highroad between 21 and 60. Half a hundred of these will be struck
down by sudden death within a week from this moment.
Some of them will be our friends. All of them will be beloved‘by’someone.” ‘And neither war nor pestilence will cut
them down.
The death-blow will come hurtling at them, with the dizswiftness of a lightning bolt, from a person, from someone
like ourselves. The death-blow will be dealt by someone—possibly your neighbor or mine—who, carelessly releasing the
wheel of his car, cups his hands for a match-light.
Or who thinks he can surely pass a car on this curve—
no traffic this time of night, you know.
Or who indulges his weakness for driving through an intersection like a lion through a blazing hoop.
How many more thousands yearly must have their lives
snuffed out before all of us learn that good driving is good
sportsmanship, that courtesy and fair play — the qualities
every American demands of clean, decent sportsmanship—
aren't restricted to the gridiron or. diamond?
And that good sportsmanship comes into play every time
we climb into the driver's seat of our car?
If a word to the wise is sufficient, what wiser wofd could
there be for all believers in fair play than: Good Sportsmanship on the road! :

Suns Go Down by Flannery Lewis
and published by the Macmillan Co,
New York, is something to conjure.
Mr. Lewis has achieved in one fell
swoop what-many authors have died
striving for, a perfect simplicity. This
book, part biography, part history,
part legend, is a style gem. It is completely sincere and achieves a graphic portrayal of the romance of an already romantic town, Virginia City,
Nevada.
The tale unfolds the reminiscences of his grandmother, who as a
bride at the age of 16 or so came to
Virginia City to make her home, and
who now, at the ripe age of 90 stil)
lives on the Divide clinging to that
same home and her memories.
There has been some criticism on
the part of the present residents of
Virginia City as to the truth of the
story, but truth or fantasy it is nevertheless a book that will entrance
you, and if Virginia City appealed
to you before reading it, I guarantee.
that after reading it vou will tuck
it under your arm, crank up the
faithful chariot, and hie you to Nevada to re-investigate all the things
you are sure to have missed before.
That Virginia City is a ghost town
is not now, strictly true. Mining activities in recent years have to a certain extent repopulated it and beyond that it is fast becoming a tourist’s mecca. -My impression is that
Mr. Lewis’ book has done much to
draw the public attention to Virginia
City, and I regret deeply that the
citizens do ngt see fit to open to the
public the old Pyper Opera House,
. and of the famous old newspaper offices or other points of interest.
The beautiful Catholic church
worthy of a visit and the town itself
jis a living monument to 'thevroaring
rowdy days of the great glory of the
Comstock.
‘If Virginia: City and

Mr. Lewis’ delicate portrayal of
Grandmother Flannery should be

Well?” published by Viking Press,
New York. The result is a more than
entertaining collection of racy poems
with a few serious moments thrown
in for good measure.
Those of you who enjoy sparkling
satire will enjoy this book by a lady
who is famed for her wit, and who
writes most of the time with her
tongue in her cheek. ;
There are-some lovely. lines in
these. poems, and if one finds oneself
waxing lyrical about them one is usually brought back to earth with a
bang by some delicious or malicious
piece of buffoonery.
That Miss Parker definitely knows
her verse forms is indisputable and
her technique is consequently smooth
and polished. Her greatest charm
lies in her unexpectedness, enfant
terrible of current poets one is never quite sure what she will say next,
but one can be assured whatever it
is will be definitely apropos and
probably pretty personal.
For a dull day when the old spirit
is groveling I can think of no quicker pick-me-up than this versatile volumn from the pen of a vesatile persouality.
