 Sapho not to be red cross nurse! 1t was the original intention of the Famous Players, in adapting "Sapho' as a Par amount picture with Pauline Frederick in the stellar role, to show the ultimate conversion of the model into Red Cross nurse. Stern facts, however. rendered this impossible. as the telling of the early chapters of Sapho's career required so much space that the details of her Red Cross work could not be gone into. As result. the closing scenes of the picture 1t will be finally screened. show simply the conversion of Sapho to the better things of life as represented by her pres ence in church.

The way to see some Of the most worth
seeing things is 10 look at them
Ghosts. for instance Surely ones
ghosts are as interesting as ones flesh
and-blood friends. besides being ones
own private and peculiar treasure, bring
ing secret fellowship none may share.
And nobody ever saw ghost except out
of the tail of his eye. Spooks are glimps-
ed not seen. They vanish around cor
ners. They are not there. but you are
sure they were there a moment ago. And
what debt do the feeling and fancy Of
mankind owe to those twilight people.
fairies, gnomes. elves. pixies. witches,
-wraths and Robhns. What a dull world
this would be if We could see only what
we can see.
Likewise there are certain truths that
haunt the mind, never can be clearly
stated and yet profoundly convince us.
The stubbornest facts are those we can
not prove The street arab says he has
bunch; the more cultured mean the
same thing when they speak OF their in
buttons. Il wish you'd keep away from
that man, says your wife; something
tells me that trouble is right behind
him And when something" tells a
woman something you'd better mind.
good womans soul has a hounds
nose she can smell crookedness farther
than you can see IT.
A prejudice, a conviction that is only
an inner protest for which we can give
no reason, is far more stubborn than a
printed creed An opinion we have rea-
soned ourselves into we can reason our
selves out Of, but a notion that lust
came" without our volition will not 60
with our volition
As a matter Of fact, creeds change;
the old superstitions abide forever A
thousand years ago probably people were
afraid Of Friday and the number thir-

cribed dominances to planets. believed in
the influences OF the moons phases,
would not walk under a ladder, we're
alarmed when they split salt, and par

first. and a thousand years hence the
same crepuscular beliefs will be flying
in the darkened fringes of mems minds.
Glmpsed things are the most convinc-
ing. A little trait in man that he didn't
intend for you 10 see, a woman's gesture
unaware. a word that slips out,-such
things weigh more with US than dehb-
crate deeds.
Glimpsed beauty is the sweetest.
Glimpsed danger is the most fearsome.
Glimpsed goodness the most admirable.
Glmpsed craftiness the most suspicious.
Glimpsed heaven and hell are vastly
more potent than they would be if they
were somewhere in New Jersey. In fact.
the whole force Of the moral drive, the
whole area Of conscience and Of virtue,
lie in the half-light realm. That's why
they are so irresistible and everlasting.
Things known change Books on science
are out Of date in few years. But the
Old moralities stand forever Forever in
the dim horizon are the twin peaks Of
Right and Wrong. Mount Gerizim and

times sunlit. but there forever.

Things aren't as rosy in this country
generally as they have the appearance Of
being in view Of our prosperity.
There are the railroads. for instance.
Increased wages and the demands that
will be made upon the roads by the gov
eminent will mean maximum rate
of about three cheers for their important
service during the war.
General CONSUMPTION of capital, re-
sorted to hastily, would be likely to do
more harm than good
Our own idea is that what we would
term vicious profits, exacted by food rob-
bers and plundcring munitions makers.
should be taxed to the utmost.
Just possibly we might begin con-
scripting by classes and in this manner
avoid doing anybody an injustice.
If such a program should be decided
on, we want to suggest at once that the
first dollars to be conscripted should
come from excessive profits that are
taken from war.

Country to See Greatest
Athletic Activity During
The Next Twelve Months

DR.. Joseph Z. Raycrort, director of
the department of physical science at
Princeton, predicts year of unusual
athletic activity among the army train
ing camps. He says: "There will be
more real and widespread athletic ac-
tivity in this country during the next
twelve months than ever before in our
lifetime"
Doctor RaycrOft is a member of the
war departments commission on train
ing camp activities.
THAT the colleges have abandoned
athletics is entirely q false notion that
has attained too general circulation
and acceptance" says Doctor Raycroft.
1.-THE colleges have not and will not
abandon athletics; what some of them
did abandon was intercollegiate COM
petition.
Take Princeton, for example. Of
our student body of some 1.600 young
men, nearly 500 promptly enlisted for
war service and at once began training
for it. 1t left them neither time nor
opportunity to engage in competition
with other college athletes, and we
therefore made a virtue of necessity"
Doctor Raycroft disagrees with the
