It was Grey who, as foreign secretary in 1914, took England into the wai; and as the English ever since 1918 have been nourishing a slow suspicion that the war caus ed practically all their troubles, it is not surprising that this veteran diplomat suffered a kind of eclipse in his last years. For Grey will stand for a long time as an epitome of the kind of diplomacy that was so common before the war—the kind that thrived on secret agreements, secret understandings and the jargon of what H. G. Wells has called the “great power game.” Prior to 1914 the average Englishman calmly as sumed that England could not be embroiled in any Eu ropean war unless the people of England as a whole wish ed to be embroiled. It was Viscount Grey, as much as anyone, who had to dispel this illusion. Like practically every other chancellery in Europe, the English foreign office saw the war coming long be fore it actually arrived. It is possible that the ease with which all the diplomats saw its approach was one of the reasons why it finally came. But at any rate the British foreign office, having visioned war from afar, got ready for it by making certain agreements with the French for eign office concerning united action against Germany. Thus, when the storm clouds finally broke, the people of England did not have a free hand. Their diplomats had committed them in advance. When Grey laid the Whole situation before Parliment, there wag only one an swer that could be made. To all intents and purposes, it was impossible for England to remain neutral. The in vasion of Belgium rallied Englishmen to the standard, but the die had already been cast. Now to recount all of this is not to condemn Viscount Grey. He was an able, sincere and patriotic man. There is no doubt that he actually wanted peace. He did his best according to his lights, and it was hardly his fault if his lights were wrong. It is the kind of diplomacy he represented that needs condemnation. The World War was a product of that di plomacy; and a world which is still suffering from the war can hardly be blamed for concluding that that diplomacy was an expensive sort of luxury. Liverpool Cleans House It is extremely interesting to read that the city of Liverpool, in England, is about to spend around $35,000, 000 to rebuild its slums. Nearly 13,000 ancient and unsanitary houses are to be demolished and 16,000 new ones are to be built in their place, to provide homes for some 40,000 people. Liverpool’s slums have had an unenviable reputation for many years. If they have not been the worst in Eng land they have been very close to it; and the vice, illness crime and general bad citizenship which they have bred have cost Liverpool many times the sum which is now to be spent on slum abolition. Liverpool’s -willingness to spend money on that scale in a time of depression might be a useful object lesson for a number of cities on this side of the Atlantic. The World At a Glance . By LESLIE EICHEL Wall Street believes that auto mobile production this year will reach 2,200,000 unit*, if that prove* true, the depression Will be well oh its way to an end. From present indications, it will prove true. September will be the fifth suces sive month with production above 300,000 units. That is the greatest sustained level since the first half of 1031. Demand is keeping up. with de mand goes purchases, chiefly of steel. • * * CLOSER At the same time, there is increas ing talk in New York of inflation, due to the “failure” of the NftA. ihe trouble seems hot to be with the NftA, but with the extravagant claims that some of its administra tors made for it. It isn’t New York, however, that desires inflation, but th* agricul tural regions. There the price of commodities hasn’t kept pace With the cost of manufactured goods. If the Roosevelt administration can stave off congressional pres sure on inflation, it is stronger titan New York believes it to be. Pres. Roosevelt may put off the move till congress assembles on January 4—and then put the onus on congress. • • * PECORA Ferdinand Pecora, chief counsel of the U. 8. senate subcommittee investigating bankers and stock ex change methods, is having his way. The Case National bank has been considered (in New York) as friendly to the Roosevelt adminis tration. It is the bank (dominated by the Rockefellers) that is sup posed to have stirred up action sgainst the House of Morgan. It, one may recall, put Winthrop D. Aldrich, brother-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in as its chief executive when Chinn. Wiggin step ped out. And Aldrich announced new ideals. Well, it's the Wiesin regime that Pecora is seeking to exhume. But the Rockefellers wish he wouldn’t. Tls said that even Pres. Roose velt was doubtful of the wisdom of it—tout Pecora had his way. rhe administration has given him a free hand. And. of course, as previously an nounced here, Pecora is preparing to recall J. p. Morgan to the stand. Morgan will be assured no midgets will sneak in—but there can be no assurance as to what set of ques tions will sneak in. ^ ^ w STOCK EXCHANGE That’s nonsence about the stock exchange going across the Hudson river to Newark. N. J.. to escape new city taxes In New York. if anybody desires to trade with* out taxation there are plenty of ex changes available—in Chicago, Philadelphia. Boston* Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Cleveland. The whole thing is a little trick of Tammany’8. New York bank ers refused to lend the city ad ministration $4(5.000.000. The bank ers said Tammany had to find new tax sources first. Tammany therefore taxes the bankers and their allies. Tammany followers (to the tune of several hundred thousand) are laughing with Tammany about l.t Tammany has had the bankers in a hole since the beginning. • * * EXCHANGE? Newark has offered its while ele phant market house as a stock ex change. This structure, representing an investment of some $8,000,000, has been used as a parking space for autos. If the New York stock exchange people won’t take it, the Newark city administration threatens to turn it into a beer garden. But even beer gardens have a limit. With all the closed banks and shops being transformed there doesn’t seem the possibility of fill ing a two-block-long building • • • OVER-PRODUCTION Washington has a new over-pro duction worry: Milk cows produced seven-tenths of 1 per cent more milk in August, 1933, than in August, 1932.

Daily Health _ TaUt _ Practically all of the cases of earache that develop during in fectious diseases, arise from the spread of infection from the -throat along the eustachian tube to the ear. The eustachian tube passes from the back of the nasal cavity to the middle ear. Such infection is more likely to spread when a young child has enlarged adenoids and tonsils, which tend also to become inflam ed. This is particularly true when a child has an ordinary cold. Dr. T. O. Oraham of Dublin says in the British Medical Journal that the vast majority of infections in the ear are due to colds in the head and influenza. Moreover, about 10 per cent of children with scarlet fever and measles develop infection* in the ear, and about five per cent of those with diph theria. in addition, there is r small number of such cases developing after mumps, typhoid fever and whooping cough. • • • One of the conditions most com monly associated with infected ear is scarlet fever. If a child has been getting well, with its fever prac tically normal for several days, and its fever rises suddenly, the phy sician is hkely to suspect an infec tion in the ear. The infection in scarlet fever is virulent, so that the eardrum ruptures promptly or maftoidltis develops even before the eardrum ruptures. In such a case, the physician determines the presence of the In fection and cuts the eardrum. This relieves the pain, causes the tem perature to fall promptly, and per mits the pus to drain out rapidly. The infection of the ear which follows both measles and scarlet fever seems more likely to develop an infection of the mastoid than the following other conditions. In severe cases of influenza the infec tious material ip the ear may be bloody in character because of the nature of the germ associated with the disease. In a certain number of cases nf severe infection of the ear after one of the infectious diseases, it is possible to avoid operation by see ing that the patient is promptly put to bed. Drops of warm glycerine are put in the ear and then a small piece of cotton. A hot water bag may be applied to ease the pain. If the eardrum bulges even slightly, it Is well to open it promptly so as to prevent mas toiditis, if possible. It is not a serious operation to cut the ear drum, because this heals promptly. It is important, however, to make sure that the opening stays open sufficiently long to permit the in fectious material to drain away. Hence the ear must be inspected every day by the physician. If the temperature does not come down and if the patient con tinues to 1* severely sick, he Is likely to have an infected mas toiditis must always be consld | ered. The only relief for this con dition is surgical operation. ’ I didn’t know my head was worth 20,000 marks. —Prof. Albert Einstein. * ♦ • A judge is as much affected by his predispositions and prejudices as any one else, and the necessity of a unanimous vote of 12 is some pro tection. —Arthur Garfield Hays, attorney. • • * Hospitals are on their last legs, with free care increasing. —Arch Mandel. executive secretary, Dayton Community Chest. • 9 • I would define a saloon to be a place where neither meals nor lodg ings are served, but a place where intoxicating liquor is sold and is drunk perpendicularly. —U.

Telling the story of a man who finds himself literally the last man on earth, the film depicts a world populated entirely by women, each of whom has one end in view—to get that solitary male. It is a dread disease that wipes the globe clean of the masculine sex. What goes on toward a solution of this emer gency forms the extremely funny basis for the picture. Raul Roulien, the South Ameri can star, plays the highly enviable role of being the last man. With the comedy in the expert hands of Edna May Oliver and Herbert Mundln, "It’s Great To Be Alive” has a generous supply of scintillant moments. Gloria Stuart is lovely in the leading feminine role. QUEEN One of the most fascinating screen comedo-dramas of the sea son is “Handle With Care,” the Fox film which shows Thursday and Friday at the Queen, Browns ville. It brings James Dunn of “Bad Girl” fame, Boots Mallory and El Brendel to the screen in a delight ful romance involving a shop girl, left with two small boys to care for, and a youthful lawyer. Dunn and Miss Mallory who are co-featured. both give splendid performances in “Handle With Care.” The same may be said for Buster Phelps and George Ernest, a pair of y>ung actors who are an important factor In the intriguing plot. El Brendel is, as usual, equal to every demand of his comic role. SAN BENITO—Jose Ramirez was bound over to the district court by Judge W. R.

Mick wants Eve to give np work ing but she refuses. SAM ItOLERIDGE. an advertis ing man employed by another store, becomes Infatuated with ARLENE SMITH, stenographer at Btxby’a. but she fancies herself in love with GEORGE BLISS. Handsome THERON REECE has been forcing unwelcome atten tions on Eve. Unknown to Dick, Eve has been playing the stock market om money borrowed from her mother. MONA ALLEN, copy writer, dis likes Eve and tries to make trouble for her. When an error, coating the store 92,000, appears In an advertisement Mona Is really responsible but the blame falls on Eve. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXVII OATURDAY evening Dick took Eve to dinner at a popular res taurant known as the Old Planta tion. The atmosphere was that of the hospitable old 6outh. Pretty mulatto girls, wearing bandanas and checked gingham dresses, served Maryland fried chicken and corn fritters. A string quartet played lively tunes and Eve soon found herself dancing with spirit Later they were Joined by a group of Dick’s business friends and she enjoyed the evening so much she was almost able to forget that Bixby’s had lost |2000 through a mistake in her department The next day she and Dick went for a long ride in the country. Office cares seemed far away and Eve arrived home tired and sleepy from being so long in the fresh air. But Monday morning as she neared the office she began to feel nervous. Barnes would be back today and j the dreaded interview must take i place. The advertising manager sum moned her to his office at 9:30. Eve managed a tremulous smile as she entered but Barnes’ face was grim, his voice crisp. "I scarcely need tell you, Mrs. Rader,” he began, "that the price error In Saturday’s coat advertise ment wps the worst of the kind the ktore has ever had. I am amazed that you should have permitted such a blunder.” Eve started to speak but he si lenced her with a curt gesture. “It is one of the things that simply cannot be explained away or sm-xrthed over,” he continued. ' “But you don’t understand—!” she began. * “I understand the result of the mistake and results are what count in this department,” he went on. “I feared your marriage would in terfere with your interest in your work here. All I have to say now is—don’t let anything of the sort happen again!” There was a grim threat in the words. Furious that he had not per mitted her to defend herself, Eve returned to her desk. Mona had scored against her at every point Eve was tempted to go to Mr. Bixby about the affair; tempted, too, to resign. But she knew that was exactly what Mona had hoped might happen and therefore It was the one thing Eve determined not to da see AT 10:30 ft rosy-cheeked little woman with a youthful face and graying hair appeared and asked for Mr. Barnes. Arlene es corted her to his office. A few moments later the buzzer sounded for Eve and she was introduced to the newcomer. "This 1b Mra Penney," said Barnes. “She will take MIbs Vlad’s place." Eve took the new artist Into the outer office and introduced her to the rest of the advertising staff and to her new duties. “At first I felt sorry for her,” Eve told Dick that night, “but after she began to work I knew why Barnes had hired her. That woman has genius!" Mrs. Penney adjusted herself eas ily to the office routine and Eve blessed her for that With things running smoothly again, Barnes re sumed a more pleasant attitude toward his co-workers and the ten sion was lifted. Apparently mild and yielding, Mrs. Penney proved to be firm and self-reliant to a surprising degree. Even Mona, who usually found some means of gaining her own ends in such matters, could neither outwit nor wheedle Mrs. Penney intg taking care of minor details of office routine which were Mona’s responsibility or exchanging lunch periods to suit Mona’s whims. mrs. renney was a widow with a young daughter who was in col lege. Every stroke of the artist’s pencil was for the sole object of assuring her daughter's education. Mrs. Penney worked swiftly and untiringly eight hours a day— longer when necessary. But she managed to turn out smart, fin ished drawings at a speed which usually enabled her to leave the office promptly at closing time. Eve, looking ahead, felt that Mrs. Penney would be very helpful in putting the office routine on a prompt and efficient basis when ever the time came that Barnes should leave and Eve herself be in charge of the advertising office. • • • ND then Eve’s mother came to visit her. Kate Bayless made an inspection tour of the apart ment, then shook her head and de cided to spend the morning doing the things Eve found little time I for. Painstakingly she “did up’’ ail the ruffled curtains and washed the delicate crocheted rugs. To Dick’B delight, she discarded the "bache lor buttons’’ which Eve had been snapping on his clothes and re placed them with buttons sewed on firmly with heavy thread. 8he spent three mornings darning heels and toes and catching runners in hosiery. And she made orange i marmalade and a supply of noodles 1 calculated to last into the summer. Every noon Kate met her daugh- ’ ter in the ladles’ lounge at Bixby s. 1 Here, while she waited, Kate sat at one of the desks and addressed < postal cards to relatives, neigh-1 ( bors and friends at home. During ]; luncheon Eve planned the after noon’s entertainment for her moth er—usually either a shopping toui or a matinee. "Why, 1 could almost forget there is such a place as home,” Kate said one day. “if it wasn’t for worrying whether Pa is getting enough to eat and if he remembers to feed the canary! I'll bet my plants will be all dried up, too, for want of , a little attention." 1 At the end of a week no amount of persuasion could keep her In Lake City any longer. “I’ve fixed you up p bit and that will give yon a good start again,” she told Eve. ‘I’d much rather you’d stay at home and not try to do too much. No good can come of it—and I’m worried about your nerves.” When the train pulled out of the station Eve and Dick, standing be> low, watched Kate smiling at them through the closed window. Eve’s own eyes were blurred as she waved a last goodby. • • • rPHE week had passed so swiftly 1 that her mother’s departure had been unexpected. Eve regretted that she had not found time to take her mother to the stock exchange and^the brokerage office. "Mother gets such a kick out of seeing what makes the wheels go 'round and she’s such a good sport that I like to show her new things,” Eve told herself. She was watching the activities of the market anxiously these days. Pure Soap, Inc., had fallen four points and then, following brisk selling, had resumed its former high and plunged ahead. This fluctuation caused a similar one In Eve’s spirits. And then Pure Soap. Inc., reached the point Eve had been hoping for. Lest it take another slump she hurried to the bank that noon and arranged to sell. She felt rich as she figured her gain. After all, one had to pay some price for success and this had cost her only anxiety. She was eager for a new venture In finance. Eve left the office that evening promptly as the closing gong sounded. Sam was waiting at the side entrance for Arlene and they offered to take Eve home. Thus it happened that she reached their apartment before Dick, who had been detained by some extra work. Eve, still exulting over her financial gains, set light-heartedly to work to cook the dinner. It would be nice to surprise Dick by having the meal ready when he ;ame. But scarcely had she start 3d her preparations when the tele phone rang. There was a perceptible pause ifter Eve answered.
