WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON NEW YORK.—The aged president of Poland, Ignaz Moscicki, put plush-draped Baroque palace three ne years ago. A Moscicki Looks To Science to os in the benign Cure Ill World miracles of the laboratory which will some day transform a tragically afflicted world, he devised the system him- vout believer tion. It turned heavy, sluggish air into cool mountain breezes, and gave him new energy for his continuing scientific work, at the age of 70. Perhaps the falling leaves give poignancy and sadness to the fate of this kindly old gentleman, driven the new—or possibly the old—sav. agery of Europe. One might write off Josef Beck and Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz, political and mil- itary careerists, also exiled, as incidental casualties, caught in the backwash of their own am- bitions, President Moscicki, al- though merely a symbol in feudal Poland, may find a place in the later balance brought for- ward. If there is to be a new dark age, it may be that lab- oratories will be the monas- teries which will be the havens of the humane spirit and the aspiring intelligence, as were the monastic refuges of the Middle ages. He is one of the greatest electro- chemists in Europe, ranked with the great German, Haber. In the fi of synthetic chemistry, he 1} about 300 patents. He was a colleg professor for many years, tall ar thin with white hair and a spiked moustache, as convinced as was Woodrow Wilson that a ‘‘new free- dom” could be gained by the bilization of planetary intelligence and good will. Much in the manner of our own distinguished Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan, he acclaimed the ultimate triumph of science over hate and stupidity. To date, the good genii which they have sum- moned are enslaved by men of lesser understandin ri fn R. JUAN DEMOSTHENES AROSEMENA, president of the Republic of Panama, is, in spite of his middle name, a practical man, . cautious in Panama Chief speech and ac- Talks American tion. As the Unity, Isolation mo- keynoter for the inter- American conference of foreign ministers at Panama, he sharply as- sails totalitarianism and religious and racial persecution and invokes unity of the American republics in the spirit of constructive isolation for which our state department is proselyting just now. Dr. Arosemena, a realistie veteran of Panamanian politics, has, in the past, accepted our “good neighbor’ policy on grounds of enlightened self- interest. He has been keenly aware that the Canal Zone might be a major trouble spot, if war comes this way, and, re- cently, discussing its defense, he said, “If they start shooting up the canal, they'll be shooting at us, too, and that’s why we want to help defend it.” ama from 1929 to 1936, elected pres- ident in the latter year, and in years past has been sharply opposed to the United States on various issues. In the presidency, he has inclined much more in our direction. He is friendly and genial, rather in the cut of an enterprising business man. In the 1938 Lima convention, he joined ing the Roosevelt overtures for friendship and unity. fp HIS writer has heard several ex- pressions of astonishment over the eagerness of the Rev. Martin Niemoeller to fight for Nazi Ger- . many. It was Freedom, Like only last June Peace, Perhaps that the Is Indivisible Churches of democratic countries throughout the world pro- claimed him ‘‘the first Christian martyr of modern times” and set aside a Sunday for commemoration of his heroism. The submarine commander of the World war, hav- ing become a great evangelical pas- tor in Berlin, had led the non- conformists in opposition to Nazi seizure of control of religion, and had gone to a concentration camp. The explanation of his back- sliding as a martyr may be found in the records of his ear- lier career. He was an early and zealous ally of Hitler and his brown shirts, aiding in stamping out freedom, com- placent in the face of pogroms and the wreck of all civil liber- ties, resistant only when his church was assailed, (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) COMEBACK To a native of a certain section of the Southwest that is well known for its malarial tendencies, a St. Louis traveling man said: “I notice that there is a great deal of ague hereabout.” “Yes,” was the laconic response. “That's a great drawback. It un- fits a man entirely for work, doesn’t de “Generally it does,” said the oth- er. ‘Still, here on my farm, when my man John has a right hard fit of the shakes we fasten the churn- dasher to him and, stranger, he brings the butter inside of fifteen minutes.” Snappy Answer Mrs. Bronson has a new chauf- feur, who is very careful as a driver but not so careful about his appearance. He is not too fond of shaving. “John,” said Mrs. Bronson to him one day, “how often do you think it necessary to shave?’ “With a weak growth like yours, ma'am,” replied the chauffeur, “I should say that once every third day would be sufficient.” CERTAIN PARTY “Does Fred like parties?” ‘““He says I'm the only party he's interested in.” Not so Bad Bill, a fireman, was with his mates, helping to put out a fire one blazing hot afternoon. For six hours the brigade was toiling, the perspiration streaming down their grimy faces. At last one of them gasped: “Lummy, Bill, this is the limit, this is.” “Don’t you believe it, George,” replied the perspiring Bill reprov- ingly. “You just be thankful we ain't got to put this here blinking fire out with boiling water.” Stupid Husband Noowed (timidly)—I don't like to mention it, darling, but there seems to be something wrong with your biscuits. Mrs. Noowed (proudly)—That shows how much you know about biscuits, honey. The cook book says they're delicious. Worried for a Minute Neighbor—Come quick! Mary's fallen into the pond! Farmer—What has?

Childish energy demands outlet, and should be put to a constructive pur- pose through suggestion. By LELIA MUNSELL 6 WISH,” mourned Sue Tressel, “I had something to do. I wish Arlene didn't have the measles, or that I'd had them so I could go over and play wiih her.” “1 expect,’”” smiled Mother, *‘that Arlene wishes much the same thing. She's just sick enough to have to stay in bed, and just well enough to want something to do. Maybe you could fix something for her to do. That would give you something to do, too." “What?” “Arlene's mother has a little lap- board that Arlene could use for past- ing. Of course, you wouldn't want a big scrapbook if you were sick, but" Sue's face beamed. ‘I'll make a little scrapbook-—of some of my new notepaper,’ she said delighted- ly. “Arlene can handle that.” Mother punched the holes for her and she tied the sheets together with ribbon. Then she had the happiest kind of a time finding and cutting out pretty pictures that would fit. When she had enough, Mother said she could carry them over herself, “It will be all right to go to the door.” So Sue trotted across the street with the scrapbook material and a bottle of paste. “Tomorrow ill think of some- thing else.’ said Mother. The next morning she laid some maga- out i zines, all them open at paper to we w dolls. “When you're sick you like play with paper dolls,” she said to be a nice smiling going to was the re- ne she was cutting itting each doll a separate brought a “When you're sick it's n something to read what 1 asked. Sue read: “These dolls cannot from vou, end Dressing them to do™ After enclosing the little envelopes she trotted across the street and left them at Arlene's door. The third morning was bright and sunny. ‘How about taking Arlene a bit of outdoors?" suggested Moth- er. "Do you know the names of the leaves of all the trees in our yard? See if you can think up a game for Arlene.” Help Children When Necessary. After a time Sue came running in, her eyes shining, “Could I get some pieces of paper and pin a different leaf to each and let her write what she thinks their names are under them?" Mother nodded. ‘So that she need not think too hard, write the names for her on another sheet of paper, but don't arrange the leaves in the same order. Tomorrow you can give her some more leaves with the name of each written underneath, and she can change the names or the leaves on her sheets if any are wrong." Soon Sue had samples of all the leaves in the yard and was earnest- ly at work preparing them for Ar- ice to have Can you written?’ she smile over have take the measles all will be something Mother had a large’ envelope “Cut out each name and pin it tight. Tomorrow you'll see which names are right.” Sue’s mother was not only under- standing, but she was wise. She knew childish energy demanded an She gave Sue an objective: to help make Arlene happy, and she led Sue to think out what to do herself. Much of what we call naughtiness Let us keep our thinking caps stroying their own initiative. And let us help them to help in the things we do. It's sometimes tiresome to have them "messing around,” but that is the way they learn. And we mustn't forget to appreciate the children’s efforts, no matter how crude-—ignore them, or criticize too harshly, and we chill their enthusiasm. National Kindergarten Association (WNU Service.)

One day in particular she found troublesome, for she had to a funeral service and then to a garden party. She solved the dress problem by and taking in a hat box a flow- ered hat which, during the service, she placed in the vestry. Her sense of quiet pleasure at this successful solution of the problem was somewhat marred, however, when the coffin was brought into church.
