For Another Euripides.

If some poet or dramatist as great
as Euripides were to rise from the
wreck of this war and write of what
he had seen he could not better the
denunciation in "The Trojan Women
which runs, in part, How are We
blind, We treaders down of cities,
yourselves so soon to die" Those
lines were spoken when this play was
presented in the new stadium of the
City college. They brought home to
all who heard them the sickening real
ization that Europe has sloughed OIL
it's veneer of civilization and is back
where it was six centuries before the
bisth of Christ, when ancient Greece,
too, believed that she had emerged
from barbarism and did not see the
ruin then impending. In France, in
Belgium, in northern Italy and on the
windy plains of ancient Troy itself the
shade of Euripides might again de-
nounce those that cast temples to
desolation and lay waste tombs, the
untrodden sanctuaries where lie the
ancient dead" In morals and lust for
blood Europe has reverted to the days
Of the a v man.

What's a Boy Made For?

How different a Batwa dwarf boy
from the American boy mentioned in
the following paragraph from a Detroit
exchanges: There was a big icicle
hanging in the corner just over a store
door on Michigan avenue, and as the
weather softened up, and people be-
came afraid to enter the building, the
proprietor came out to a crowd on the
sidewalk to see what could be done.
Somebody might hit it from the roof
suggested one. Or you might get one
of the long fire ladders observed a
second. 4 think a charge Of buckshot
would bring it down. said a third
man, as he closed his left eye and took
a long squirt. A boy about twelve
years old came along just then, and
when he understood the situation, he
inquired of the grocer: Win you give
a Teller a nickel to get her down Z:
Yes, FIVE Of EN-. Gimme = tater'
A ~good-sized potato was handed him,
and he stepped back into the street,
peeled off his coat, and sent the stnber
whizzing. 1t struck the icicle at the
butt, and brought it down with a great
crash, and as the crowd cheered, the
boy pocketed his quarter, and humbly
observed: Wonder what they thought
a boy was made fur, anyhow"

When the Workers Quit.

To the number of men under arms
add those engaged in making wal mu-
nitions except food and clothing
though a great deal Of war clothing is
wasteful in that it is used up far fast
er than if the wearers were in a civil
occupation.
Economically considered, all these
men are idle, for they are producing
no wealth. For Great Britain their
number has been calculated at m
thing like half the total working popu-
lation. The proportion is probably
about the same for the other belliger-
ents, except Russia, where it is some
what lower.
Suppose something like half the
painfully employed population of the
United States struck work, sat down
and twiddled their thumbs for two or
three years, being supported in idle
ness by the government during that
period. Suppose there was some de-
struction of real property by blowing
up bridges, throwing explosives into
factories, burning villages. Suppose
there was a very high casualty and
mortality rate among the idlers. Our
economic position would then be about
like Europe's. The government would
be borrowing immense sums to sup
port it's millions of pensioners, and our
problem would be to offset the drain
as much as possible by levying on
labor that is not normally employed
productively-the surplus labor OF
women, children, the aged and the halt
land by economizing in all possible
ways.-Saturday Evening Post.

Hog May Not Trespass.

Chief Justice Ailshie of the supreme
court of Idaho makes the following
comment in Fall Creek Sheep COM
a n VS.. Walton on the effect of q
statute relating to ~trespassing hogs:
."The man who drew the amendment
made swine an exception in the laws
of Idaho from all other kinds of tres
passing animals. So now when that
cloven-footed quadruped of ancient no
toriety goes foraging beyond the pro-
tecting care of the swineherd he at
once loses his character as a domestic
animal and becomes ferae n~aturae,
subject to capture by anyone on whose
premises he may at any indiscreet mo-
ment find himself. OF course the hog
doesn't care much about his char
acter; he would ordinarily just as soon
be treated as a wild animal as to be
treated as if he had been domesti-
Gated for centuries. His fate is gen
orally about the same either way"

important Russian Industry.

The production of wood pitch and
tar is a highly important industry Of
the timber districts of Russia. A
large quantity of such substances is
not only used for home consumption
in Russia, but is also exported to for
eign markets. England alone takes
over loo, 900 barrels yearly of Russian
pitch and tar. In normal times pitch
is exported chiefly to England from
Archangel, where it is one Of the prin-
cipal articles of trade, while turpen-
tine has been shipped to Germany
from the Baltic ports and overland.
In recent years in western Russia, es-
pecially near the Vistula river, large
quantities Of pitch and %turpentine have
been distilled from the stumps left
after the clearance of woods, this hav-
ing been in great demand in Germany
on account of it's good quality and low
price. Up to the present time the op-
Grating methods employed in this in
dustry have been, for the most part,
Of a primitive character, and carried
on in small establishments, where the
owner is at the same time workman
and salesman.

Honey Shortage in Britain.

Even the bee feels the war. Ger.
many has always been the largest buy
Ter Of American honey, but this year
has taken only $4,000 worth. There
is a honey shortage in England, how
ever, and our bees may be happy yet.
Taken altogether, according to official
reports coming to the department OF
commerce, American bees have be-
haved handsomely this year. They
have made an unusually large crop,
the average yield being 1862 pounds
for every colony, as compared with
1922 pounds last year.
Our ordinary crop is $4,000, 900
pounds, and it will be greater than
that this year. Prices are down, how
ever, because of the shifting market
and heavy yield, and also because OF
a very much heavier crop in the West
Indies, which is handled here. This
country has never sent much honey to
England. Only $4,000 worth went
there last year.

WOMAN'S HIGH PLACE
1T Is HERS BECAUSE SHE CAN
KEEP A SECRET.
Miss Margaret M. Hanna ls Ono OF
the Most Trusted Employees in
Office Of tho Department
of State.

There Is only one woman In the
Emitted States who has knowledge OF
| international events before they hap
pen. Her name is Margaret M. Hanna.
She is the confidential secretary and
assistant of the second assistant secre-
tary of state, Alvey A. Adee, who is
the only permanent official of high
rank in the department.
No matter who may be the executive
head of the department, and regard
less of whether the administration is
Democratic or Republican, the course
of the foreign Office is steered by Mr..
Adee. All Of the diplomatic affairs
are managed by him. The complex
unwritten code called international
law is to him familiar in its every par
agraph, and he has all precedents at
his fingers ends.
But it goes without saying that such
business involves an immense amount
of detail. Which is where the peculiar
and exceptional talent of Miss Hanna
comes into play. She takes all that
part of the work off Mr.. Adee's hands.
To him she is like a card catalogue to
a librarian-and quite a bit more, in
addition.
Not until the present generation,
strange to say, was it discovered that
women are the great systematizers OF
detail. Even the cleverest men are not
in the same class with them at that
sort of thing. Hence the fact that
nowadays many captains OF industry
prefer to employ as their confidential
secretaries ONE who, with special
capability in this line, know how to
relieve them of all bother about the
petty machinery of their Office bust
ness. Thus they are at liberty to de-
vote their entire attention to affairs OF
major Importance.
Such is the function that Miss Han
ma performs for the second assistant
secretary of state. Incidentally to her
duties she helps to prepare many state
papers that are in the last degree n
fidential in character. She is the custo-
dian of many an important secret az
fecting the welfare of the country;
but, from her point of view, this Is
merely a part of the days work. She
forgets the secret automatically when
she leaves the Office and goes home.
1t has often been said that a woman
cannot keep a secret. Perhaps most
women cannot. Holding that belief,
wrongly or rightly, the department OF
state prefers not to employ them in
confidential capacities. Too much is
often at stake to make the taking OF
any risks advisable. But the rule is
broken in Miss Hanna's case. She
knows how to keep a secret. and the
government of the United States is
willing to bank on her reliability in
this regard.
