a dragon dwelling in the water to a

temple of Avalokitesvara on Nagusa

ascent from the sea to a pine tree In

Beautiful Land of Arsace.

This land of Alsace is in many re-
spects the most beautiful that have
ever seen. Strung along the horizon,
like sentinels wrapped in nantes of
green, the peaks of the Vosges loom
against the sky. On the slopes Of the
ridges, massed in their black battal-
ions, stand forests of spruce and pine.
Through peaceful valleys silver
streams meander leisurely, and in the
meadows which border them cattle
stand knee deep amid the lush green
grass. The villages, their tortuous,
cobble paved streets, lined on either
side by dim arcades, and the old, old
houses, with their turrets and balco-
mics and steep pitched pottery roofs.
give you the feeling that they are not
real, but that they are scenery On a
stage, and this Illusion is heightened
by the men in their jaunty berets and
wooden sabots, and the women whose
huge black silk headdresses accentuate
the freshness Of their compilations. 1t
is at once a region of ruggedness and
majesty and grandeur, of quaintness
and simplicity and charm.-F. Alex
ander Powell in Scribner's Magazine.

As long ago as 1906 France created
Industrial courts, and the example has
been followed by Germany, Switzer-
land, Italy and Belgium. A president,
who represents the public, and an
equal number Of workers and employ
ers sit as a jury rather than an a
court. Lawyers are barred. The par
ties to the dispute cake turns relating
grievance and defense, and I'm conse-
Quence of this simplicity 90 per cent
of the cases are adjusted without
formal hearings. In event of threat
ened strikes or lockOuts the courts
have the power to sit as boards OF ar
bitration, and it III only I'm rare cases
that satisfactory agreements are not
reached.
Compare the simplicity OF this pro
cedure with the American method of
frequent trials, frequent appeals. re-
versed decisions, remanded cases,
court costs, lawyers fees and months
Of delay, a gantlet that no poor man
dares to run. The dollar out Of which
an alien is cheated may mean to him
the difference between a bed or a park
bench, and certainly his sense Of in
justice win not inspire him with re
spect for democratic institutions
