Old Glory At Nioht.

With a scarcity of flags since the
declaration of war, there has been
found ar original method of showing
ones patriotism. For a large porch
light, have large globe, on which
may be painted the American flag. On
account Of bad walks In front of the
house. leave the light burning all
night, so when the large flag is taken
down at sunset Old Glory Is still In

Journalism Versus Art,

Individualism is the lett motif
sounded by Max Eastman with dra-
matte insistence through the pages
of Journalism Versus Art" He does
not it is true, handle quite so large
an order as Chesterton when he
wrote What Is Wrong With the
World" but he tells us in no uncer-
tain tones what is wrong with maga-
zine art, magazine writing, free verse,
journalism and simplified spelling.
Magazine art" says Mr.. Eastman,
lis Photographic. when it is not con-
ventional. The aim of a money max
ing magazine is to please everybody a
little and displease none. The result
is an insane passion for variety, but
perfectly automatic toning down of

IRELAND. WE LOVE YOU

A cablegram urging a settlement OF
the Irish problem has been sent to
Premier Lloyd George by 200 repre-
sentatives in Congress, headed by
Speaker Clark. The matter has been
discussed by American officials with
the British commission now visiting
here. The message follows:
You are quoted as saying that the
settlement OF the Irish question is es-
sential for the peace of the world and
for a speedy victory of the world.
May we, members Of the American
Congress, suggest that nothing will
add more to the enthusiasm of Amer
ica in this war than settlement now
of the Irish problem.
"We believe all Americans will be
deeply stirred and their enthusiasm
effort enlisted if the British Empire
will now settle this problem in ac-
cordance with the principles an
nounced by President Wilson in his
address to Congress asking it to de-
clare war on autocracy for the
worldwide safety of democracy and
of small nationalities."
While we are thinking of the great
changes being wrought by the war in
Russia, in France, in Germany,-in
fact, everywhere among the belliger-
ent nations-we must not forget little
old Ireland With its troops on the
front it is fighting as sincerely as
Australia and Canada for the United
Kingdom. The thought is pleasing
that democratic America can turn for
moment its most urgent and press
ing problems to send a word to Eng
land in behalf of the future police
man.

"LessOns In English"

Lessons in English is a disserta-
ton on the written and spoken Ian
guage, beginning with parts of speedh
and including all kinds of writing,
even the writing of an advertisement.
The volume was written by Arthur
Lee, superintendent Of schools in
Clinton, Mo-, and is primarily intend
ed for use as textbook or reference
work in the grades or even in high
schools.
Part one deals chiefly with gram
mar. Part two emphasizes forms to
be observed in writing, including let
ters, descriptions, speeches, debates,
narrative articles and school papers.
1t also contains lists of common blum
ders in writing and speaking.

York and Chicago; cloth, 800 pegaes.)

every varient that appears" Individ-
ual idiosyncrasies are carefully de-
stroyed in order that the artist may
attract ever new constituents without
alternating the old"
The trail of the serpent is over mag
azine writing as well, for the editor OF
the Masses. Magazine writing is pro-
fessional; it lacks abandon. 1t is SIM
ply well DONE" For the business mo-
tive, again, the author fiddles con-
stantly on the same string-"like fu-
ency and wit, and the glamour Of sex
uality and money, and a few touches
of pathos and purity and no difficult
ties for the understanding. Everybody
likes this little, and nobody dislikes
it much. Therefore it sells.
In his criticism of "lazy verse;" he
says, Journalism is the unique liter
airy achievement of the age" This,
however, is only the fencer's salute.
When he crosses swords with the vers
librist of journalistic tendencies, he
inflicts some deadly wounds. After a
successful riposte and a parry or two,
he pins his adversary to the wall with
his own weapon and turns to finish
up simplified spelling, which is put
hors de combat in the final chapter.
The book is illustrated by some
of the Masses artists. 1t may be ad-
ded that perhaps Mr. Eastman has re-
futed himself by writing a book that
will not please everybody but that ev-
erybody will be likely to read.

NOW'S THE TINE FOR GREENS

Has it ever occurred to you that
there are many edible plants growing
wild that are yours for the gathering?
There are-and they go by the COM
mon name of greens This is the
season of greens the season when the
body does not need heat producing
foods, as in cold weather. In the
spring the appetite longs for greens,
and this is a natural craving.
Take day off, get long -bladed
knife and a bag, Ia paper one will do)
and go out in the open country and
gather batch. Our ancestors con-
sidered dandelions the best spring
tonic. They are good for the liver.
Also for the purse And better. they
are yours for the picking.
The younger generation is prone
to think greens are weeds, fit only for
animals. All our vegetables were
originally weeds. now raised to their
present rather lofty state by cultiva-
tion.

boiled and favored with a bit of ba-
con, make a good vegetable; the
roots, when scraped and boiled, sliced
cold, with or without potatoes, make
a good salad. Dandelions are best
when light green-the dark ones are
old. Now is the time for them.

know the delicate and delicious sor-
rel, which makes one of the best

Someone will ask-what is "sor-

THE FATE OF CONSTANTINOPLE

Constantinople has been for years
a bone of contention in the near East.
II was the famous capital of the east
crn Empire built by Constantine and
has since his time been the key of
those regions. 1t is the door that
holds in check Rumania. Bulgaria and
above all Russia.
Russia in its desire for seaport
free from ice has at times almost
conquered Constantinople, but always
has been checked by the jealousy of
Great Britain and other powers. The
attempt at the beginning of the war
made by the French and the English
to capture Constantinople shows the
importance of the place. Germany
was aware of this Importance. and its
leaders made capture of the city
lmpOSSlDle-
Apparently new Russia has entirely
changed from the ambitions of old
Russia, and the acquisition of Con-
stantinople or any of the new terri
tory is no longer its desire The new
leaders of Russia expect to work to-
ward peace of the Balkans. and
some have even declared in favor of
having Constantinople as a neutral
state.
The ambition of Russia to expand
at any cost seems to be a thing of the
past. Russia's new leaders are of
the modern type of thinkers. and
they are beginning to see that expan-
sion is not the only way to get a free
port. If the nations at the end of this
war will play square with one anoth-
er, the fate of Constantinop.e may be
settled as other than merely con-
quered and annexed capital.

NEVADA SCRUB STATE

One of the most strenuous efforts
to exploit, advertise and dispense the
fame of a perfectly good state and
one of the most copious. fluent and
endless series Eve run of the reel
was perpetrated by the editor of the
Cleveland Plain-Dealer, when he saw
fit to designate Nevada as a scrub
state"
This crape-hanger of the newspa-
per game might have remained con-
cealed to posterity had he not gotten
into a typographical jam with Neva-
da. Referring to his mental equip
ment. one would say that he has
about enough to color a meerschaum
ripe but not enough to MAKE a
smooth salad dressing. Sometimes
the struggle for notoriety is pitiable.
Generally it is futile. Almost inya-
riably II is ludicrous.
