resolved never to see him again. He
had called me a f1irt and refused to
listen to me when I said that really
had known Mr. Oliphant years be-
fore and that my meeting him at the
corner was quite an accident. He
was so vulgar, too, and Jack had
never been vulgar before. l suppose
he thought he had me on string
and could show himself in his true
cOlors. He told me that had made
a date" with Mr. OIiphant, who was
one of fathers old friends, and whom
I hadn't seen for years.
I just gave him back his ring quiet
Iy-right on the street corner, and
said was glad he had shown him
self as he was before marriage in
stead of afterward. Then I walked
away. I didn't care a bit. I hated
Jack.
Of course, 1 never expected to see
him again, but to show him that all

but told her not give it to anybody,

try hard before he got it out of her.

WILD OATS
Howard IxRdnn

Wild oats is term given to that period
in young mans life when he is harder
to control than a two-cylinder runabout
sliding down a clay hin in the mud without
chains When a boy has made love to
every girl on the town site and is able to
run fifteen balls from the break, he is
considered eligible to the wild oats class
and is not worried about by anybody but
the night watch.
Wild oats are sown at various ages, the
symptoms becoming most violent between
eighteen and twenty four. Some boys Sc
cure promising stand at sixteen and have
to take postgraduate course at the re-
form school. One of the saddest sights on
record is that of a staid business man who
comes down to middle age with gossip

Rumana's early entrance into the war
on the side of the allies is foreshadowed
by the reports that come from both leu
tonic and allied sources. The report was
current in Berlin last week that Rumania
would cast her lot with the entente pow
ers, and under date of Sunday, Oct. 81, the
Bucharest correspondent of an Italian pa
per- the Corriere della Sera, sends a des
patch stating that at a meeting of the
headquarters staff of the Rumanian army
two-thirds of the generals declared in fla
vor of entering the war on the side of the
Guadruple entente. Public sentiment in
Rumania is known to be strongly on the
side of the allies, and it is generally be
lieved that popular pressure soon will COM
pei King Ferdinand to yield to the de-
mands of the war party, If Rumania en-
tiers the conflict it probably will not be
long before Greece follows suit, in which
event the Balkans will become, for time
at least, the most important fighting
ground in Europe.

There would he considerably less wild
oats sowing in this republic if more fathers
would interrupt the poker game at > 100

boy whose parents never know whether he

be up to his ears in deviltry if he knew the

who thinks more of ten hours of sleep than
he does of preventing his son from becom-

to face on the judgment day that will not
have any gold medals strung on it.

ALIENS RIGHT TO WORK.

The Arizona statute which has been de-
cIared unconstitutional by the United
States supreme court applied to all en-
ployers of labor and provided that at least
50 per cent of their employees should be
qualified electors or native-bOrn citizens.
The New York employment statute now
before that court applies only to public
works and excludes aliens from employ
ment thereon.
These statutes are alike to the extent
that they discriminate against alien labor
and its livelihood under a constitution
which forbids any state to deny to amy
person within its jurisdiction, citizen or
alien, the equal protection of the laws.
They differ only in that the Arizona dis
elimination is more general.
Justice Hughes. speaking for the court,
advances broad principles against the va
lidity of the Arizona statute. The police
powers of the state are large, but they are
not large enough to permit a denial TO
lawful inhabitants, because of their race
or nationality, the ordinary means of earn
ing a livelihood Such denial, moreover
'fnv6Tvcs control of immigration by the
States which control is vested solely III
the federal government.
| These principles seem to be broad enough
to include within their condemnation til,

The fining of Waterbury doctor for

Gated is at least material evidence that
the penalties of the laws are enforce
able when the law is invoked. The
fact that the defendant is a pro

damaged by fine did not affect the
case. neither should such considerations
prevail. 1t is just as perilous to mix
whiskey and gasoline as whiskey and
