Germany From the Clouds.

Eddie Rlckenbacker is quoted rs
saying:
Germany looks rather peaceful
from above and there seems to be little
disturbing them back Il ways from the
lines. That Is where an nirman's
point OF view is defective. The Ger.
man hills and fields look as soft as
ours. Probably they are. which is
not very soft. Amy field covered with
grass always looks soft and you think
1t would make Il fine landing place.

More Than Paid the Debt.

Some of us will give second
thought to the extraordinary achieve
ment or a congregation In Geneva, N.
T., which first built with reckless ex-
truvaghnce d massive grayst0ne
church and then adopted the tlthiny
system to get them out Of their diff.
Guilty. The story is told In Outlook.
When the church was dedicated--if
that is the right word--the debt was
$4,000, and the weekly budget $3.50
The weekly income was less than 500.
In two years the debt has been re.
duced to $4,000 and the weekly in.
come Is $500. OF the 1000 members
$50 are tithers. A tither sets aside
one.tenth of his income for Christian
activities. The blessings Of happiness
and prosperity which have atteu,ied
the people are remarkable. MANY
thrilling stories are told. Some church
leaders are deeply impressed BY the
success OF the system and they are nd.
vocating it as financial policy

The rapid progress being made by

placing new merchantmen in the
sea. is rapidly depicting the avail
able supply of marine officers, ac-
cording to officials who are in
ashington. planning new measures
to stimulate interest in seafaring as
a profession. 1t is announced that

be necessary to enlist 1000 men a
month in the merchant marine serv-
ice.
At the present time there are
twenty-five navigation schools and
eight marine engineering schools on
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
Hundreds of men have been enrolled
in these institutions. tuition being
free. In opening new schools. how
ever, it will be necessary to use
some Of these men as instructors.
Interesting figures showing the
financial gains to be won in the
service are being prepared. 1t is
pointed out that following the end
of war. men trained in the merchant
service will enjoy rare opportunities
for gain in foreign trade.

STOCKYARDS FOR US.
CONTROL PROPOSED
Government Ownership Suggested
by Senator Morris.

Government owpership of the
stockyards of the country is pro-
posed by Senator Norris. Of Ne
braska. Yesterday he put a resO-
luton in the Senate. asking Direc-
tor General of Railroads McAdOo il
any action had been taken towards
this end. He also inquired what
authority of law for such a step
existed. and what connection the
ownership and control of the stock
yards had with the ownership of
packing houses.
The stockyards are really ter
miRial of the railroad" said the
Senate in an interview. "and should
be controlled along with the rail-
roads. Many of them are operated
by holding companies in the in
terest of the packing companies.
And this is manifestly unfair. as it
allows the packing houses to con-
troll the output of the yards and
thus prevents competition"

of Service.

The board of trustees OF George

two silver vases to Rear Admiral
Charles Herbert Stockton, U. s. N,
retired, retiring president Of the uni

faithful service. Admiral stockton,s
resignation became effective at the end
OF the present academic year. The
formal presentation Of the vases was
made at luncheon rendered Admiral
Stockton by the trustees at the Cos
mos Club, Accompanying the vases
was the following letter:
at Is with profound regret that we
part from you as president of the
George Washington University, not
only on account OF the great loss
which the university will sustain, but
also because of the severing Of ties
Of personal friendship and esteem
which have grown up between US dur
ing the past eight years Of your very
successful administration OF the uni
versity.
"You came to the presidency OF the
III q CllSiS ia llt -
and by your careful. tactful. conser-
vative, yet energetic administration.
you have brought the university to its
present condition Of peace and pros
perity.
CsRservation His Policy.
You appreciated the necessity of con-
servatism in administration, and yet
you had the courage to guide the uni
versity along lines Of progress. But
your chief claim to our gratitude l!es
in the fact that you restrained prog
ress within the lines Of conservatism.
your ambition being satisfied to main
tain rather than to expand, except
where expansion could be allowed
without disturbing the foundations Of
conservative growth.
'The etmptation to those holding
administrative office is TO push ex-
pansion at the risk OF permanency.
The personal glory OF being able
to say. I did this 7 established
that often sweeping those in re-
sponsible command to the brink of
loss and failure.
1t Is. however, a great triumph.
the greatest of triumphs, to be
able to say, in laying down authori-
ty and power. that the institution
is stronger than when such power
was assumed. and that its strength
has been attained through steady
growth under conservative methods
OF administration.
This triumph is yours"

In court he swore that Anthony

So why should be risk getting

hit before he got hit?
But the court suggested that he
could have used his fist on An

Anthony had no weapons at all.
or course the law says that a

Sam stopped Lille. He demand

Lille didn't answer to suit him
and he called a cop, who arrested

The peculiar feature OF the case
was that Sam charged Lille with

1t was his wife's property, and
what belongs to his wife belongs

The information against the girl
