THE TERRORS OF PEACE
To hear some people talk you
would think Sherman had said:
“Peace is hell.”
Ask a business man how things
are and he replies: “Pretty good,
but I’m worried. The war could end
suddenly.” Ask your broker why the
market is weak and he says: “Don’t
forget there's a possibility of an ear
ly peace.” Try to borrow $5 from a
friend making big money in an air
plane factory, and he will freeze you
with a stem: "I’ve got to be mighty
careful. This war can't last for
ever."
Ask a senator or any other public
official how things look to him, and
he will back you into a comer and
give you a long talk on what may
happen to this country if the fighting
ever stops.
The thought of going back to a
quiet, orderly world of brotherly love
throws them into depths of pessi
mism. Of course, the men and
women who are doing the fighting
don't feel this way; it’s the folks far
behind the lines with none of their
loved ones at the front.
The less danger they’re In the
more they’re nervous about waking
up some morning and finding peace
staring them in the face.
Peace? Why, even the thought of
an early armistice makes some
easily frightened fellows shiver.
They’re so timid you might have
to draft them to get them to face the
peace.
It’s just too bad. Maybe Wash
ington should begin now to do some
thing to build up peace morale; to
condition people for struggling on
through peacetimes. Maybe there
should be an OPI (Office of Peace In
formation) created immediately to
keep the fidgety folks fully informed
of the dangers ahead. ,
The government could even create
some medals for Distinguished Con
duct in the Face of Peace.
Give special ribbons to the fellow
with nerve enough to hear a peace
rumor and say, “Fine. Peace can’t
come too soon to suit me. I'll take
it over war any old time.”
OLD DRINKING VERSES
REVISED
“ Fill the bumper fairl
Every drop we sprinkle
O’er the brow of care
Smooths away a wrinkle.
Sprinkle is the word—
If you use it rightly;
With the tax so high,
You must sprinkle lightly.
Give a rouse, then, in the Maytime
For a life that knows no fear.
Turn nighttime into daytime
With the sunlight of good cheert
For it’s always fair weather
When rich fellows get together
With a stein almost paid for—
And the final payment near.
I cannot eat but little meat—
My ration points are low.
But sure I think that I can drink.
For I’ve come into dough.
No frost nor show, no wind, I trow,
Can hurt me if I’m cold;
A safe I've blown, and now I own
Some jolly good ale and old.
Then let the chilly northwindi blow
And gird us round with balls of
snow;
Or else go whistle to the shore
And make the hollow mountains
roar.
We'll think of all the friends we
knew.
And drink to all worth drinking to.
We merely need to float a loan
To call a glass or two our own.
We'll let Old Winter take his course
And roar abroad till he be hoarse.
We'U wine and dine while Winter
shakes —
If we can get financial breaksl
Add similes: As childish as the
fellow who is always harping about
the importance of “the adult view."
Can You Remember— /
Away back when:
Your car’s backfire scared horses?
You fifmed at backseat drivers?
A man had so little to worry about
that his chief concern was to get a
low auto license number?

people would mob the show and fight
it out with the horses.

Yesterday’s event was CaroCs teasing her father to send Mommy a fur coat.
“She said she would give me the prettiest doll in Watsons if you would give
her a fur coat.”
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
“ T SUPPOSE I am just one
I more confidential secre
■A tary who pitied a lonely
and misunderstood man,”
writes Alice Carter from Buf
falo, “but it didn’t seem that
way three years ago, when
Fred and I were married. His
wife was entirely willing to
(divorce him and hand over to
him full custody of their threg
year-old daughter, Ca^uT.
Fred’s and my love the
only thing in my life that mat
tered, but I adored the child
for his sake, and indeed, until
recently, when she has been
getting somewhat out of hand,
Carol was as sweet a baby as
I ever saw. She is very pretty,
and her mother, who has her
every other week-end when
she is anywhere near, spoils her.
She has consulted Hollywood talent
scouts about Carol, and got Carol
a permanent when she was only five
years old, which annoyed Fred and
me, who want to keep her childlike.
“But these things aren't the prob
lem. What is, is that Arlene syste
matically goes about undermining
my influence with Carol. She tells
her that I am no more to her than
to any other little girl at school, and
that when my own baby comes I
will not care for Carol any more.
She says not to ask me what she
may do or not do, but to wait until
Daddy comes home.
Confused Child Is Impudent,
“Carol is becoming confused by
all this, and with a child that means
impudent and unmanageable. A few
days ago she said to me, 'Mommy
says you like money. She says you
would never have married Daddy
except for his money. She asked
me if Daddy had his face lifted be
fore he married you.’
"The commonness of this sort of
thing distresses me, as does also
the fact that Arlene takes Carol off
on rather peculiar week-end visits
to various clubs and mountain cab
ins. Carol, at six. naturally notices
nothing amiss, but the time Is com
ing when she will. Yesterday's event
was Carol’s teasing her father to
send Mommy a fur coat ‘She said
she would give me the prettiest doll
in Watson’s If you would give her a
fur coat.’
"I don’t kpow,” Alice’s letter goes
on, “whether this seems actually
pernicious to you, but it does to me.
The constant nervous pressure on
the child is certainly bad for her;
the divided allegiance, the unfair
appeal to her little sympathies, all)
upset her normal relationship witl)
her father and me. If Arlene would
only marry again things would be
better, but she Is one of scores of
women who prefer freedom and a
generous alimony to domestic re
sponsibility.
“Now she has written to ask Fred
to lunch with her. ‘to talk about
our small girl's welfare.' Perhaps
I am bitter, but it doesn’t seem to
me that that welfare has concerned
her much up to this point. But
Fred is rather touched by her In
terest. 'Lots of charm in Arlene,’
he said at breakfast. I have had
full care of Carol for mofe than
three years; her baths and naps,
dressing and exercise, school and
clothes, days in bed with colds, gym
and doctor and dentist. Partly be
cause of Arlene's alimony, I have
never had a nurse for her. We have
sacrificed many an evening engage
ment because our only servant Is an
old oriental, and not quite suitable
as a nurse for a small girl.
"Now her mother resumes inter

me as only a clever and malicious
CHILDREN COME FIRST
The welfare and progress of
their children should be the
first consideration of alljpar
ents. Usually this is the case.
The exception is presented
this week in the story of a
mother who is upsetting her
child's personality by cruel
and spiteful actions against her
former husband and his sec
ond wife. She had divorced
the man and turned full cus
tody of their child to him
when the child was three
years old. But now, three
years later, she is systemati
cally undermining the child's
confidence in the second wife
and the father. The step
mother asks Kathleen Norris’
advice op how to stop this
dangerous menace to the
child's well-being.
woman can. Can you suggest any
way by which we can settle this?
Arlene lives in a town 12 miles
away, so that she and the child
would not meet ordinarily.”
Child Must Have One Guardian.
Alice, this is just one more varia
tion, and a not uncommon one, of
the second-wife problem. My only
suggestion would be that you have a
talk with Fred about it, and insist
'either that Carol go to her mother to
stay, which I can assure you in ad
vance wouldn’t be Arlene’s idea at
all, or that she be handed over en
tirely to you and her father.
Fred'is 42; Alice just 20 years
younger. But even women much
older than Alice often become daz
zled by the prospect of a happy mar
riage, and pay small attention to
the settlements and promises that
precede it. Now she finds herself
fretted on three counts; Fred's re
awakened interest in Arlene, Car
ol's growing independence and rude
ness, and Arlene's machinations to
destroy her domestic peace.
Fred might well spike Arlene’s
guns at this proposed luncheon by
telling his former wife that there
is to be a new baby at his house,
that Carol is growing somewhat un
manageable, and that he would be
glad to turn the child over to her
completely. He would be perfectly
safe in doing this, especially if he
suggested that Arlene’s alimony
would be expected to cover the
child’s expenses. If Arlene begged
off this responsibility, as she would
do, he might then decree that the
week-ends must stop, explaining
that they are growing demoralizing
to the child.
Since Arlene abandoned her baby
at the age of two years and pre
ferred to take her own way, she cer
tainly will not want the responsibili
ty of a six-year-old now. It is an
exacting age. There are considera
tions of school, lessons, clothes,
gym, dentist, health, parties, friends.
Arlene might try it, briefly. But
she Would inevitably turn toward a
boarding-school, and because board
ing - schools are expensive, that
would mean that the child was once
more restored to her father and step
mother. There is a hint in Alice’s
letter that Arlene may be an unfit
guardian for a small daughter, and
if that is true, she will be al! the
less willing to have a witness to her
affairs.
Parents Must Consider Child First.
Children ought to be the first con
sideration in the life of all fathers
and mothers. Many a woman, if
she knew the Irreparable Injury that
quarrels, separations ahd legal ques
tions would do to the growing minds
and hearts and souls of her children,
would adapt herself more heroically
and self-sacriflcingly to the home
conditions she has thought Insuffer
able.

and Lefty Gomez, one of baseball's
greatest lefthanders, are on their
way to the fighting

Jack Dempsey
front with Freddie
Cochrane to enter
tain the troops for
the Red Cross.
Before leaving.
Jack Sharkey gave
me the, best story
of a single round
that I’ve ever heard
from the ancient
lore of the ring and
the ropes.
“I was to meet
Jack Dempsey,”
Sharkey said, “in the summer of
1927; ten months after Tunney had
taken away Dempsey's title. I've
lost to many punks, but there were
always two men I knew I could beat.
One was Dempsey—the other was
Tunney. And I’m not kidding. You
know I didn’t have to meet Demp
sey. I had the Tunney match sewed
up with Rickard. I just wanted
Dempsey for a good workout. I
mean the Dempsey of 1927—n0t the
Dempsey of 1919.
"On the night of the Dempsey fight
in New York what few pais I had
left, including my own stable, came
by and looked at me as If I was a
corpse, waiting to be buried. I
finally got sore. I said to them—‘l’ll
stop this bum in a round —the first
round.’
The Famous Round
"There was more than a million
dollars in the gate that night,”
Sharkey said, “and I could see an
other two million with Tunney later
on. And I couldn’t see how I could
lose to either. Maybe some guy like
Risko—but not to these two.
"I’d been hearing so much about
Dempsey—the great champion—that
I got sore. I was even sorer when
Dempsey got a big hand and I was
booed. My first thought was to show
these punks how cockeyed they
were.
"Dempsey and I met in the middle
of the ring and after a few seconds
he cocked that left. I beat him to it.
I nailed him with a right smash on
the chin. I followed this with a left
hook to the chin and then I nailed
him with another right. His eyes
were glassy and rolling. The guy
was out. AU I had to do then was
to give him a push. One more punch
and he would have been out for two
minutes.
"But what does the smart Sharkey
do? I stepped back and said to the
crowd—’There’s your punk cham
pion, look at him! He’s out in the
first round. He can't even get his
hands up.’ And he couldn’t You
can call it anything you want to
c?ll it. Stupidity, arrogance, crazi
ness, dumbness, no head—they all
belong to me.
"Here I have Dempsey helpless
and ready for a half tap. And ahead
of Dempsey I have Tunney, one guy
I know I ean beat—and so does Tun
ney. And what do I do? Finish
off Dempsey who at the gong later
couldn’t even find his own corner?
Who had just had his brains knocked
out, with both knees buckling up?
No, the smart Sharkey has to put on
an act to show up his handlers and
the crowd that booed him. By that
time, Dempsey, who can recover
quicker than a wounded cat, as Tun
ney found out, is able to grab me
and finish the round.”
Dempsey Dazed
“What happened after that?" I
asked Sharkey.
"Dempsey was still dazed and
half gone for the next three rounds.
But he was a tough guy. He hit me
high and low, but I'm not complain
ing about that. He had a terrific
body punch, and that didn't help me
a lot. I was sore at myself for not
cleaning him out in the first round
when I had him helpless. Most of
the time I got sorer at myself for
the dumb things I’d done than I ever
felt towards an opponent I had no
feeling about Dempsey. Tunney was
the man I wanted—and Sharkey was
the man Tunney never wanted. I
can prove that. Tex Rickard could
tell you—if Tex was still around.
Tunney had his chance to pick me—
but he named Tom Heeney, a game,
strong, short-armed fellow who
could neither box nor punch. I don't
blame Tunney, when he could get
by with it. The Tunney-Heeney fight
drew around $500,000. A Tunriey-
Sharkey fight would have passed a
million sure. But Tunney already
had his million. The stupid Sharkey
—and I never was smart—passed
up two chances to meet Tunney, two
million-dollar chances, when he was
my pigeon. Bums could beat me,
but Tunney couldn’t
"Now I’ll give yon the pay off,”
Sharkey said. "I was on some card
with Dempsey in Boston. Just a
show of some sort for charity. That
night I explained to Dempsey and
the crowd how I could have beaten
him in that first round in New York
by simply pushing him. ‘All I had
to do. Jack,’ I said, 'was to give you
one push and you’d have fallen on
your face.’
" ’Why didn’t you?' Dempsey
asked with a grin. I didn't have an
answer. I'm just a dumb Lithu-'
anlan. They’ve all been too smart
tor a dumb sailor.
