Honesty In London.

Montenegro has a law ordaining
that any found valuable shall be
placed where the loser can find It.
The fact suggests an anecdote told of
Garibaldi's grandfather in Dickens
life of the famous clown. On one of
his, visits to Leadenhall market with
nearly $4,000 in gold and silver upon
him. he found that his shoe had be.
come unbuckled. and taking from his
pocket the bag. he placed 1t upon q
neighboring post, and then proceeded
to adjust his buckle" Having after.
ward to pay for purchase, he missed
his bag Of gold, and hurried back to
the post where he had buckled his
shoe. Although more than three.
quarters of an hour had elapsed
there 1t remained safe and un.
touched on the top of a post in the
open street," That was in eighteenth
century London.

auction to me always seems a melan-
choly business. True, knew that In
this case the owner was a rich man,
that his furniture and carpets and tit-
tings had been bought only a year or
two before, and were not the loved COL
lection of years. But the tumbled dis
order, the mud OF many feet upon the
floor, the noise of the bidders answer
ing the raucous voice of the auction
eer, were all an insult to the peace,
the privacy and the hospitable men,
ories of stately home, 1t was with
relief that l saw Colonel Gunton's
eyeglass shining near the window, and
elbowed my way towards him. He had
little boy with him, whom he car
ried perched on his shoulder, well out
of the way of the crowd.

tone that successfully competed with
the auctioneer's. Come to see the

DEBATE ON BILL WAS WARM
Believed Smiths Measure Providing
for National Aid to Vocational
Education Will Pass.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Hoke Smiths bill providing a COM
mission for the study of subject OF
national aid to vocation education
occupied five hours of time in the
house today, and no vote on the
measure was reached.
The bill has already passed the
senate, and Representative Hughes,
chairman of the house committee on
education, reported it from that COM
mittee to the house today. 1t was
attacked by both republicans and
democrats, but Mr.. Hughes antici-
pates no difficulty in passing the
measure as soon as there is a quo
rum.
Several members of the house de-
sire that a bill for national aid to
vocational education be passed rather
than that a commission be appointed
to study the matter. Others, includ-
ing Representative Bartlett, wanted
to make sure that the government
should not assume control of the
schools in the country. Many desir-
ed information, the house having
nothing in particular to do. Mr.
Hughes began with speech advocat-
ing the measure and then defended
it from attacks He will bring it up
again.

with all the thrills so dear to the
heart of miss just stepping over
the threshold of the elite, father
must dig down into his pocket for
something between 100000 and $780,
900. In New York there will be
about fifty of them this year which
means a total outlay of nearly ST.
100000. OF course, father can and
does spend a whole lot more, as sew
eral New York cases cOncluslvely
prove. But just to be properly cloth
ed for a debutantee season requires
an expenditure of about $500
The debutantee season is upon the
metropolis with vengeance. Scores
of misses who are primping to take
the plunge into society have been re-
turning from Europe for the last few
weeks, and with them have come
trunks full of Paris lingerie and ex-
pensiye gowns. Each of them, it is
safe to say, will cost their parents
half a hundred thousand dollars this

the state and local governments for
the privilege of drinking and smok-
ing. This makes a total of $453,-
600, 900 each year that drinkers and
smokers pay into the public Golfers.
That is the public tax side of the
story.
Drink and Smoke Up $4,000, 600, 900.
But there is another side to the
story.
The national smoke and drink bill
of this country amounts to $2,7OO,-
100000. That is an enormous sum.
We will not enter into the ethics or
morals of the use of tobacco and al
coholic beverages, but consider it
merely as an expenditure of capital.
Some idea of how much $2,700,-
geo, 900 is may be gained from COM
parative figures. 1t would pay our
national debt three times over. 1t
is more than the entire expense OF
operating our government, covering
everything from the salary of the
president, the expenditures for war
preparation and for public improve
ment, down to the last small office
holder in your ward or school dis
trict. In other words, we pay the
tobacconist and wet goods dealer
each year much more than we pay
our public servants.
Twenty-seven hundred million 81
bills laid end to end would reach
from the earth 1000 miles beyond
| the moon. In the form of 81 200
gold certificates they would make
pile stacked higher than the VOL
worth building in New York, which is
| quite some building.
The money in circulation in the
United States is only about $780,
100000 or $50 for every man, wo-
man and child.
In other words, we are spending
up to within $40 of our per capita
share of the nations wealth for
smoke and drink.
Of course, not every man gets his
share of the fun. Not every man
