From Asia
Shanghai, Dec. 13—Japanese air bombs today sank the United States gunboat Panay in the Yangtze river 25 miles above Nanking.
Some observers were of the opinion that had it not been there it would not have been sunk.
Fight the Cause---
Not the Effect
If the United States were to pursue a vigorous international policy as epitomized in the Chicago speech of President Roosevelt nearly two months ago, the present is a poor time to begin.
If America should "quarantine" aggressor nations she must look to the causes which make the "have-nots" of the world the aggressor nations. She must recognize that Japan's aggression in Asia and Italy's war in Spain constitute not a cause, but an effect—the effect of colony-hoarding by the so-called victors in the last war
Hitler's rise to power was the natural outgrowth of the imposition of the Versailles peace upon the German people. When England, France and the United States stripped Germany of colonies, impressed outrageous separation demands, and generally took to make of her an economically dependent nation, they were shaping her for Hitler and for her role as a potential aggressor nation.
With the abandonment of the "gentlemen's agreement" and adoption of the Japanese exclusion act in 1924, the United States willfully accentuated Japan's pressing population problem. With the Anglo-American refusal in 1933 to admit Japan to naval parity, the English-speaking nations increased Nipponese insecurity in the Pacific. Today they find her an aggressor nation in Asia.
The time for America to pursue a vigorous international policy is when nations may yet be gathered around the conference table, when the problems of overpopulation, colonial markets and raw materials may yet be settled by peaceful international accord. Let America recognize in time of peace that a redistribution of markets and resources and a greater freedom of trade are necessary, and let her work toward these objectives.
But the present is a poor time to begin. Let America pursue her time-worn policy of "splendid isolation" until—if ever—the world returns to sanity. Then, and only then, let America lend her support to internationalism.
And Now He's Retired
Speaking at Hagen, Westphalia, he said the Nazi movement resulted from divine orders.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-Chancellor Hitler is God's emissary, Dr. Hans Karl, German church minister declared today.
Funny, they said that about Wilhelm, too.
"Only he who acknowledges with God is a real Nazi," he de-
ver denies such ties is inferior in our eyes and does not belong among us."
Virginia Has a Bad Day
Bearing up bravely under her recent cruel disillusionment about Santa Claus, she awakens only to have an extremely bad day with other illusions. . . Her first disillusionment had to do with the beauty of a university situated on a mountain. This Virginia encountered when she set out bravely admiring the splendor of the ice-coated trees and came in too close contemplation of the un-beauty of an ice-coated sidewalk. ..
But Virginia, in the courage that is peculiar to Virginia, resolves to compensate for all that by gaily sliding, as in her childhood... Result: same as in childhood.
Poor Virginia.
"&&!@$()" (," says Virginia, "I'm beginning to be like the editor."
Picking herself up, Virginia discovers that some allegedly kind soul has put sand and cinders on the sidewalk and Virginia, at last, she says, has discovered the true spirit of human brotherhood and all that.
But hardly has she proceeded with firm, unfaltering tread what otherwise would have been three falls, when little particles of a hard something begin to make themselves painfully evident between the insoles of her nutty little size $4\frac{1}{2}$ shoes and her clever, if pinched, little feet.
Regarding The Voting Machine
Students in political science were intrigued this week by the demonstration of a modern "voting machine" in the Administration building.
The voting machine is used in many large
cities and in a number of smaller municipalities, and excellent progress toward expediting elections and reducing fraud has been reported in most instances. Cost of installation has been found to be offset over a period of years by the savings in elimination of ballots, counting boards, and occasional rechecks. When the last voter pulls the big lever on the machine, the entire vote is ready to be recorded by totals for the various candidates.
Several pertinent criticisms have been leveled at the voting machine. One is the inescapable fact that a number of large cities have discontinued its use after a few years.
It has been said that voting machines puzzle the voter, and make frequent explanation on the part of election officials necessary, thereby demoralizing the secrecy of the election to an appreciable extent. Voting machines, it is argued, are incapable of accommodating the rush of voters always encountered near closing time
But the merits of the machine seem quite as significant as the defects. As more and more cities adopt the device, the sale price can be expected to drop gradually. And as the price drops, rationalized albis for not adopting the machine can be expected to diminish also. The voting machine is in the modern tempo.

Three Danger Zones in the T. B. Battle
Although the number of deaths from tuberculosis in the general population has steadily decreased during the past fifty years, there are still three groups of American citizens especially susceptible to the disease's attack. It is still the leading cause of death for young women between 15 and 30; it takes $6\frac{1}{2}$ times more men in the province than can in the highest; and each year it kills three to one and one-fourth white people.
The college woman on the left is having an X-ray examination given as part of the health program, carried out in many schools and colleges. In the center is an industrial worker, whose employer has sent him to the factory doctor for a thorough physical examination. The little girl is receiving her tuberculin test at one of the many free clinics where capable colored physicians and nurses are in charge.
A winning fight is being waged against tuberculosis, but until we conquer these three danger zones we must continue to wield our weapons. Christmas Seals sold throughout the country between Thanksgiving and Christmas help to make possible tuberculin tests, free clinics, and X-ray examinations. They are powerful bullets in the nation wide tuberculosis battle.
Campus Inventor Introduces Ear Muffs With 'Peg-in' Features
After gaining nation-wide recognition last year through the invention of a pair of ear muffs, Schiller Shore, Campus inventor, has introduced a pair of muff that is expected to meet our acceptable acceptance by the public.
The muffs invented by Shore last year consisted of two pieces of cardboard lined on one side with sand-paper. Friction of the sandpaper upon the exposed appendages caused them to keep warm. These muffs were strapped to the ears by means of wires and cords, the same principle used by muffs so popular on the Hill at the present time.
The latest muff invented by the backshop philanthropist do away with the cumbersome spring and have many other features. The muffs are of the "peg in" type, that is each muff fits on separately and is held in place by a wooden peg that fits into the ear.
The outside of each muff has a likeness of an ear painted on so as to make the most unbecoming appendage look like a perfect specimen. The inside of each muff is almost any color, although frostbite pink, sovi red, and sun-

The buyer of these muffs also has a choice of two heating elements. Sandpaper lines one type, which works on the friction principle that was used on last year's model. The other type is designed for persons having tender ears and is lined with a strip of felt containing a so-called body oil of bacon sauce oil of mustard, and oil of vitamin D special mixture that contains Vitamin D may also be used in the solution.
Shore, in a statement to a Kansas reporter, said that the price of these ear muffs will be determined by the demand.

Chicago, Dec. 13.—(UP)—Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace today pleaded for a "balanced budget" for the American farmer, at the same time saying that capital must set their houses in order before prosperity can be achieved.
Wallace appeared before farm leaders from 39 states, assembled in the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation.

After this tableau, the candlels of the choir were again lighted, and the members sang the recessional, the Herald Angels Sing" (Mendelssohn) as they marched back to the doors from whence they came.
L.S.U. Acquires Old News File
Baton Rouge La., Dec 13 — (UP)—Purchase of a bundle of faded newspapers by the Louisiana State university museum has recalled to old-timers the life of Henry Wakkins Allen, Considerate army officer who was killed by Louisiana," and had to flee to Mexico following Lee's surrender.
The library has bought what is believed to be the only extant file of the Mexican Times, printed in English by Alfonso XIII, after he went into exile.
Was Born in Virginia
"This file is the only one in existence unless there is one in the secret archives of Mexico CITY," said James A. McMilian, L.S.U. librarian. The library also issued in "Register of Emigrants from the United States of America."
After peace was declared, Allen learned that he faced possible court martial by federal troops occupying Louisiana. He issued on June 2, 1865, a farewell proclamation to the people of Louisiana, and went to Mexico, where many other Confederate leaders sought refuge.
The former Louisiana governor, who had won attention in the state of his adoption as financier, soldier and executive, continued to publish the Times until his death on April 22, 1866.
Governor Allen was born in Virginia, April 29, 1820, and spent his boyhood in Missouri. He fought for the liberation of Texas from Mexico. Later he took part in the war with Mexico.
He acquired property in Louisiana, married and moved to his sugar plantation, Allendale, near Baton Rouge.
When the Civil War broke out, Alen enlisted as a private in the famous Delta Rifles. By August 1963, he had risen to the rank of brigadier-general before being sent to Gen Kirby Smith in western Kentucky. Hardly had he arrived at Shreveport when he was unanimously elected governor of Louisiana.
ought Refuge in Mexico
He achieved what has been called "a miracle of financing" by contriving to sell Louisiana cotton to Mexico or to speculators and foreign buyers operating in that country. As any kind of money was valueless, he had wagon trains, eluding federal blockades, return from Mexico loaded with much-needed goods in payment for the cotton.
He built state factories and established a system of state stores.
Christmas Seal funds make possible tuberculin testing and X-raying of school children throughout the country.
