Metz Once Roman stronghold.

The Romans called the city Of Metz
Divodurum. and as 1t was the juno
ton point of their military roads, they
fortified 1t. This was before the
Christian era. The town blocked the
attacks Of the earlier Huns, and in
the fifth century it passed into the
hands of the Franks. when its first
Christian house of worship was built.
Charles the Bold was crowned in
Metz, and Louis the Pious was buried
there. In 843 Metz was the capital of
the kingdom of Lorraine.

High School Fraternities.

Last year the board of education de-
cided to eliminate secret societies from
the high schools Of this District and
took steps to encourage the development
Of social activities among the students
replacing those organizations. At tho
end Of last school year it was indicated
that the fraternities had obeyed the rule
and that the boards mandate Of pro-
-hibition would be carried fully into ef-
feet. It now appears, however, that the
fraternities have not been eliminated
and that they are f1ourishing in secret
despite the prohibition of the board.
This is depiorable condition. Now the
matter has reached the point where ac-
tion is required to demonstrate the au-
thority Of the board in matters affect
ing the school welfare. It is intimated
that some Of the organizations, having
persisted in maintaining themselves in
the school membership, are disposed to
resist this authority and to appeal to
court in case the board should proceed
to enforce its order. If this spirit pre-
walls in the schools the sooner the issue
is Joined tho better.

A certain Chinese restaurant was
crowded the other night The chop suey
and other celestial dishes were being con-
sumed at a lively rate. Diners picked out
something with a funny name and then
waited to see how it tasted. About the

when in came a man in khaki. He took a
seat While waiting for his order he spied
an automatic piano in one corner Of the
over he went, pulled a five-cent piece
out of his pocket and dropped it in the
slot
The piano Immediately began to play
"The Star Spangled Banner"
The soldier stood up straight and looked
around the room.
Other diners rose to their feet, until all
were standing with the exception Of a man
the other side of the room.
The soldier looked at the seated ones,
but his glances did not feaze them. They
went right ahead talking. Maybe they
thought that "The Star spangled Banner
played on an electric piano wasn't the
same thing as the national anthem played
by the Marine Band.
But the soldier didn't look at the matter
in that light
AS soon as the music had ended he
called to one of the Cinnamon.
Bring me two dollars worth of nick
els" he ordered.
Soon the soldier was the possessor Of
forty five-cent pieces
He walked over to the table OF those
who had remained seated.
"See here" he said. in firm but courteous
tones "As long as I wear this uniform L
propose to see to it that the national
anthem is respected I'm going to play
that song some more, and when it is
played want you to stand up
He said no more, but turned on his heel
toward the piano.
The musical instrument had quite a
repertoire. The man in uniform had
to feed it a large meal of nickeIs be-
fore it got around to The Star
Spangled Banner" again."
When the strains of that song finally
rang out, the soldier stood straight.
All the diners arose. Every man and
woman stood. this time, while the song
ran it's course.
The soldier looked pleased. but said
nothing.
He just kept feeding money into the
piano.
Every time THE Star Spangled Ban
ner' came around. everybody in the
room stood up. Some of them looked a
trifle bored, after the fifth repetition,
but all humored the soldier.
He never tired.
Once more the national anthem came
around.

Bill Rifles has charming wife,
With literary taste;
But now and then she makes this lif
For him a weary waste.
For every time she buys a book
And reads it line by line
She wants poor Bill to act and look
Like some new hero fine.
One day monocle he'll wear,
And next leather vest.
He smooths or tousles up his hair
In wearisome unrest.
He's thankful when he wiggles in
A dress suit stiff and, cold
He need not don . suit Of tin 80,

After he had answered all the Ques-

A Budget System.

Interesting as the subject Of a bud
get system always is, it is plain that no
such system could be established now.
Everything relating to the matter is out
Of plumb. Both revenues and appro-
priations are abnormally large, and defy
both regulation and decrease. Emer-
gencies are presenting themselves, and
must be met.
But after the war closes budget sys-
tenn will be imperative. The war is
forcing thst policy. Money in large
sums will, it is true, still be necessary,
but calculations as to quantities can then
be made. and must be made in the in
terest of necessary economy. We shall
be carrying load Of debt; and that,
with what is required for regular ex-
penses, viii demand a careful cutting of
corners.
The post-beilum problems Of revenue
and appropriations are going to test the
national legislators as seldom, if ever,
before. The chairmanship of the ways
and means committee and that Of the
House appropriations committee will be
more important than ever before. Both
the income and the outlay of the gov
ernment will have to undergo special
treatment. Peace conditions will call
for new provisions. War taxes, distinct
ly SO considered, will have to 60, and, Of
course, war appropriations pared down
to peace times. ~ e.
But this must be done SO as to disturb
business as little as possible. And busi-
ness at that time will be extremely sem
sitive. The effect Of the agues it is now
experiencing will be much in evidence.
The war will leave business in a de-
bilitated condition, and tones may be
necessary.
A budget is for peace times, when the
going is smooth and the machine is in
order. It is a thoroughly businesslike
arrangement; and there is q reflection
on both parties in the fact that we have
gone so long and SO far without one.
With one, well applied, We should prob
ably have missed . good many Of the
abuses Of what has come to be known
as pork"
As respects . return by the House to
the order Of giving one committee do
ninion over all the supply bills, that
question will come up along with the
question of budget But the two are
not dependent on each other. A budget
could be we'll administered with the sup
Ply bills distributed, as at present,
among a number of committees; though
probably the most satisfactory result
would show from q concentration Of
committee work having to do with all
the expenditures Of the government.
