SUNDAY, JANUARY 13. 1935 NOT ALL LUCK Dauntless Amelia Earhart has finished her second ocean flight. There are those who call such expeditions foolhardy, who see nothing but a display of bravado in the daring feat they say, they say, is entirely responsible for the fame which "Lindy" and Miss Earhar have gained. Luck; or perseverence, training, and intelligence—there must be a high degree of all. These two famous fliers and others who have braved the ocean have contributed a service to aviation which will not be realized until later years. Someone has to make the first venture into the unconquered field. That trans-oceanic flights will be a regular occurrence in the future is a certainty in the minds of aviation experts. It remains for suchusted experts as Miss Earhart and Colonel Lindbergh to gain the confidence of the public and those who will follow them in the development. But, in spite of its significance, there is one drawback in the undertaking. We should hate to be Miss Earhart's husband. We aren't at all sure that this is the most propitious time for that Dern romance to break out in Washington. SPOTLESS TOWN To think that we have misjudged for so long the metropolis of this section grieves us almost beyond words. We are ashamed to confess that we had so rashly put Kansas City in the category of crime infested cities, and now that Judge Brown Harris has put us ught on the subject by declaring it "the most law abiding city in the country," we hasten to offer our abject apologies for the rather black opinion we had formed of our neighboring municipality. We assure our Kansas City friends that we are overjoyed to learn that there is absolutely nothing for the grand jury of their district court to do, except the usual routine of inspecting the county's tax-supported institutions. We just can't understand how we ever came to connect the recent trial of the Union State massacre conspirators with the municipal government of Kansas City. What an awful bonehead! We surely must have been mistaken in thinking that three ex-embayers of the Kansas City police force were soon to come to trial for conspiracy, or something, too. That must be in New York where they had to oust their mayor a few years ago. And it must have been in Chicago that those election day murders occurred last year. Such things as that are always happening there. We just can't understand, we say again, how we could ever have connected all this corruption with Kansas City. "Synthetic Kissing Requires Much Practice"—headline. But what coed wouldn't prefer the real thing, anyway? STAND UP AND CHEER Well, it finally did happen. We've been expecting it lo, these many years, and finally it has come to pass. They made it last for more than ten years, did Mary and Doug; and who could expect them to do more? To them should go a nice, silver loving cup for having remained married so many years in a community where such a thing just isn't being done. Who knows the taunts and gibes that poor couple had to endure from their friends in order to achieve such a record? We can imagine the perfectly wilting tones in which their associates hurled at them such phrases as, "old footies" or "mid Victorians." And so, realizing these things, let us not think too harshly of Mary for the tears she shed the other morning as her divorce was granted. Rather, both she and Doug have proved themselves wonderfully good sports, and they deserve the highest of praises for the courage and stamina they have shown in this noblest of experiments. Nay, let we raise our voices in heartfelt praise of the Hollywood couple who endured so long. Let us speed them on their ways with best wishes for long and happy lives of single bliss. AMERICA'S ANNUAL CATASTROPHE Nine times as many people as are enrolled in this University were killed last year in motor car accidents in America. Since the automobile came into extensive use everything that governments and manufacturers have been able to do to reduce chances of accidents has been done. Roads have been improved to eliminate as many hazards as possible and to cut to a minimum the strain on moving cars. Signs are posted at every place where a hazard has not been or could not be prevented. Carelessness and speeding have been made criminal offenses. Tires have been improved so that blowouts are rare. Glass has been made shatter-proof. Materials used for moving parts and for bodies has been strengthened. And yet, in 1934, the greatest annual increase in deaths from road accidents in the history of motoring brought the total to 36,000. Only a small percentage of those deaths resulted from causes outside of the drivers' control. Those who can be held responsible for the great majority of accidents are the careless drivers, the drunken drivers, the habitual speeders who can not tolerate a speed of less than fifty miles an hour, and the old fogies who creep along wabbling from one side of the road to the other, scolding everyone else for being so reckless. Thirty thousand deaths is a national catastrophe, and when it is repeated year after year it becomes a situation as worthy of the unified anger of the American people as kidnapping has become. Every person who raises his voice to join the concerted protest, however, should start by becoming as angry with himself for his own carelessness as he does with the other drivers on the road. Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kansas. Articles over 200 words in length are excluded from subscriptions on any subject are invited. In the campaign to clean up women's politics and bring them out in the open many meaningless statements have been issued by so-called hill "leaders." A system whose leaders are unable to make a definite stand upon an issue requires them as vitally as the W.S.G.A. elections question must surely be ineffective. CAMPUS OPINION Editor Daily Kansan: These leaders have spent the last two days dodging reporters and evading questions. Why don't they want to be quoted? Are they afraid their statements will be so unimportant that one will be interested in them? Let's talk about who the leaders will not hesitate to speak for fear, trample the toes of some of their secret constituents—Just a couple of followers.

Wells Helen Ombersley's tact furnished some of the most delightful bits in the whole book. She's the a type seldom THE POWER TO KILL, by Robert The story is primarily that of the impoverished Oberleymen—the obstinate, soldierly Milte, gentle aristocrat Helen, his wife, and their two children so like them in temperament. The village life around their manor, with the usual old maid to watch over its morals, the doctor nurse a door nine shades above the windows the keeper and his husky wife, is full of typical characters. Richards; (Doubleday Doran.) An English tale of a man torn between two terrife lovers . . . , that is, the son of one from America, his native land, whose attempt to kill him is the beginning of the whole mixup, and his wife, a seene Englishwoman, who loses him because of her great possessiveness. If you enjoyed "The Garden of Al-ah," you'll rejoice in the author's dive into these emotional lives. Van Brin "affaires" are a fine study in contrast, and he is correctly summed up as a pawn in women's hands. This is simply a struggle for supremacy in the life of a seemingly unnoteworthy man, between the one whom he professes to hate and the wife who apparently has deserted him. His author friend, in the background, is powerless to avert the tragedy and can only record the reactions. THIS LITTLE WORLD, by Francis rettly Young; (Harper & Brothers.) Young's latest is one of the best written numbers among the newer novels. Its style is smooth and has depth and beauty and a love and understanding of rural England seldom in print. seen in these days; a loveable lady in every sense of the word, with the fabled "woman's intuition" born in her. You'll enjoy it. It's rather quiet moving but never drags. Its tempo exactly suits the life it portrays. BESIDE A NORMAN TOWER, by Mazo de la Roche; (Little, Brown and Co.) An absolutely different kind of entertainment is this—scrapes from the lives of two toddling youngsters. The author's note explains it as an attempt to portray them as they are, since all fiction children seem to be five or over true enough . . . the French "Trott et Sistere" is the only one of which I know. It's simply and sweetly written 214 titles of the world's best literature. 95 each. 17 Little Giants. $1.00 each. THE MODERN LIBRARY Come in and see them. THE BOOK NOOK 1021 Mass.
