Patrick Saint and War Talk Split by Dust and War
In a brisk column, legends of St Patrick are recalled alongside wartime talk from Lloyd George and Clemenceau. The piece notes pacifist leanings in Europe, U.S. kidnap fears, and police catching a would‑be kidnapper. It covers dust storms reshaping fertile lands, soil conservation plans, and the evolving use of weapons from axes to submarines. It ends with reflections on human ingenuity, heart health, and a surgeon’s daring save in Los Angeles.
