GREEN-EYED
She’s one of those women I’m prone to hate -
The seams of her stockings are always straight.
Her nose has never been known to shine.
Her lipstick never fades out like mine.
The curl in her coiffure never fails.
The polish sticks to her fingernails.
My only hope is that late at night
When she’s ready for bed, she looks a fright.

THE MAN WHO ABOLISHED WAR
Continued from page five
peace. At last the common man
can be freed from the grip of fear
that has held him, from the des
perate sense of insecurity that
thwarts all creative effort. There
can be no more of the hideous tor
ture and destruction of war. In
stead we must live in peace — or
face a universal death that will
fall upon mankind with the bril
liant finality of a shooting star."
The Senator thumped on his
desk. "I will have every man here
arrested!” he cried.
“Why?” demanded Dr. Over
maier.
“Because,” cried Senator Harri
gan, “this is too vital a decision
for anyone except Congress to
make.”
“We anticipated that reaction,”
said Dr. Overmaier, "so we decid
ed, this time, to take no chances.
When 1 explain to you what we
have done, you will realize that
neither our government nor those
of any of the scientists present
have any choice. They must accept
the situation we have created.
Each one of us here has already
hidden one of these new Irombs in a
city of his own country — he
alone know^ where. Each one has
dedicated his life to keeping the
secret.
“But even if you, he continued,
"or the government of any other
country, could discover in which
of its cities ihe bomb was con
cealed, you wou.d not dare re
move it. For don't you see — to
have one of these bombs is now a
country's only protection, the only
thing which will make other coun
tries afraid to attack it?”
Senator Harrigan fumbled for
the chair behind him and ink into
it. Finally he said, in a shaking
voice, “How can you, a small
group of men, doom the whole of
mankind to destruction?
"We are not dooming it to de
struction,” said Dr. Overmaier.
“Only Congress — or any rival
government — can do that, by de
claring war.”
"But now people will live more
than ever in the fear ol death,
said the Senator.
"No,” said the scientist. “They
will know that now no government
will dare start a war which might
mean an immediate ending of the
entire human race. Allied nations,
in wartime, find peaceful ways of
settling their disagreements, be
cause to disagree would be disas
trous. For the same reason, many
times multiplied, rival nations will
now be forced to settle their differ
ences peacefully."
w mi.E Dr. Overmaier was speak
ing, the expressions of anger and
fear on the Senator's face had
gradually given way to a thought
ful. almost crafty look. Once or
twice he glanced at the Secret
Service men standing near the
door. He opened his mouth to
speak again, but Dr. Overmaier.
with his sad, wise smile, inter
rupted him:
In case you are planning, ne
said, “to arrest these two gentle
men whose presence disturbs you,
and perhaps WTing from them the
secret of where the new bomb is
hidden in their own country, let
me warn you that anything of that
kind would hie quite useless. As 1
said before, the secret has already
been revealed to another one of
their countrymen. He is safely
home by now, out of your reach,
and has planted it in one of his
own cities.”
Senator Harrigan’s face flushed
angrily, but he made no reply.
Finally he leaned back in his chair
and said in a resigned voice.
“What do you expect me to do?”
"We suggest, all of us," said Dr.
Overmaier. "that you speak to the
peopie of the world and tell them
whai we have told you.”
With that he turned and. the
others following him, went silently
ort of the room. The Senator sig
naled to the Secret Service men,
and they followed the scientist.
Dr Overmaier left the group
and walked to his car. With the
absentmindedness of a man deep
in thought, he tossed the little box
into a near-by ash can.
Dumbfounded, the Secret Serv
ice men dashed to the can and re
trieved the box, which had fallen
open.
It was empty.
"Why, it’s a bluff 1” cried one of
them.
But Dr. Overmaier, wakened
from his reverie by their excite
ment, turned. He smiled.
"How do you know?” he said.
“How will anyone ever know?
Even if it were a bluff, the result
would be the same. Rest in peace,
gentlemen; there will be no more
war.” The End
