stoves were not always safe If left
without a guardian when providers
were around, but the burglar in Los
Angeles who picked up boa constric-
tor and departed with 1t for parts un-
known made the stove litter look like
an amateur pilferer. Well may the
householder ask what is safe II he
can't go to bed and leave his favorite
boa constructor basking In front of the
hearth. says the Chicago Daily News.
II the poor boa must be locked in the
safe along with the family diamonds
and bargain mining stock, its rest will
be broken and 1t will suffer all the dis
eases we get from not having enough
fresh air. Still, that might be prefer
able to waking up and finding 4 in a
strange household. where the cooking
did not agree with it. The only way
out that We can see is for the boa to
train itself up to be watchdog.

ERIN's LANGUAGE WEEK WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS

DUBLIN, Oct. 22.-Ireland has
been having her language week.
and it has been a huge success.
The unregenerate may be inclined
to be facetious, and say that where
it is a question of language irish
men are not likely to be wanting,
but the language in this case is the
Goelic, which fewer Irish men and
women speak than the Goelic
league thinks out to do so. The
league is certainly doing its best
to remedy that state of affairs and
has greatly interested the Irish peo-
pie in their own language, history
and literature.
There was an immense demon
stration in Dublin September is un.
der the auspices of the league be-
cause the. study of Irish in the new
National university has not been
adequately provided for. The rec
ognition given to the Irish Ian
guage these last few years means
that 1t has been removed from the
category of prescribed studies.
Irish history is, however, still
taught only in mutilated form in
the schools, where anything that
reflects on England's rule, or in
deed anything political, is strictly
prohibited.

IDEAS FOR entertainment

Halloween time is here, and it be-
hooves one now to determine
whether to celebrate this ancient
festival. There is not much excuse
for halloween, except the oppor-
tunity for some innocent fun. BY
innocent fun is not meant the out
door sport of tearing down fences
and annoying neighbors. but the
home parties for enjoying the
witching pleasures of fancy and
romance.
1t is not necessary again to dig
up what Bobby Burns said of hal
loween, or to dilate upon the arti-
fetal mysticism ascribed to the Oc-
tober 81 date, but it is well to dis
cuss plans if one is going to make
it the occasion for entertainment.
A great many elaborate devices
have been invented to add to the
one-time spells and games, but any
thing of this kind loses it's charm
If it is overdone. Half the pleasure
of a halloween party lies in the
planning. Home made devices may

and accessories can be disregarded.

good game is to provide the crowd

the guests a marshmallow, they to
