THE sons of some of the very rich
men of New York are said to be living
at a tremendously extravagant rate,
and are likely to see the bottom of
the fortunes acquired by economy and
thrift. One gilded youth recently
chartered a palace car at 500 per
day and took a party OF friends to
New Orleans, this being but one item
in the expenditure. Another is tour

CONNECTICUT set good example the
other day in sentencing 3 embezzling
bank officers to hard labor in the state
prison for from Alto 5years. The men
were well educated, but that didn't
prevent their stealing more than $780,
900 and gambling it away in Wall
Street. When the heightened thieves
are punished with as much certainty
as petty thieves, who steal to keep
from starving, there won't be so large
a crop of bank embezzlers as we have
had of late years, and young men will
learn that dishonesty never pays.

SOME of the thrifty inhabitants Of
Japan, where the hard times are felt,
have subscribed to a strict code of
regulations which might be initiated
with advantage in less heathenish
countries. They agree that no three
persons shall drink together, that tea
shall replace all expensive beverages at
wedding ceremonies, that at funerals
only - relations of the deceased shall
take refreshments, and that all shall
make their own sandals. All other
rites and ceremonies involving expense
are temporarily suspended.

A GREAT triumph for women in En-
gland was the enactment in 1882, that
a married woman shall be capable of
acquiring, holding and disposing by
will or otherwise, of any real or per-
sonal property in the same manner as
if she was a femme sole, without the
intervention of any trustee" The
Manchester Guardian finds occasion,
however, for a rebuke to Mr. Justice
Pearson, who decided that the law
would not permit Mrs. Price, who
made her will in 1884, just a week be-
fore the death of her husband, whom
she survived only three days, to dis
pose of property received under her
husbands will. He decided that the
act applies only to property in the
possession of a woman while living in
the married state. The court of APP
peal may overturn his subtle distinc-
ton, not to say bubble, but the case
illustrates the prejudice of the aver
age judicial mind against a principle
which is unquestionably just and des-
tined to accomplish great good for
women In all countries.

A DEATH was caused near Cambridge,
O., a day or two ago in this singular
manner: William Galbreath and
James Arnold were chopping trees,
and each had a tree ready to fell al
most at the same time. By some
chance Arnold's tree fell first and in a
contrary direction from what was ex-
pected As it fell limb struck Gal
breath and knocked him from the
ground just as his tree, shaken by the
crash of the falling tree, toppled, split
ting from the stump up. Galbreath's
head struck in this split, and in the
rebound it was crushed to a Jelly.

WAsHINGToN is the only one of the
presidents of the United States who
has been honored by an unanimous
election. James Monroe, however,
virtually received the same compi-
ment npon his reelection to the presi-
dency in 1920, when 231 out of the
232 votes Of the electoral college were
given him. The odd vote was cast by
an elector from New Hampshire for
John Quincy Adams, not on account
of ill-will to Monroe, but because he
was unwilling to see any man share
the rare distinction of Washington in
receiving a unanimous election.

them for sclOols passed, and therefore
that school warrants were sold for their

these rich sections drawing SO little
