THOSE WERE THE DAYS
The Swimming Hole

Dear Jack George: Do you remember,
wherever your life-trail has led you, what
three fingers held up behind a geography
meant? Translated into our speech it sig
nifed Lies go swimmn'-after."
Willows traied in the water and shed
their shadow over the sandbar that ran out
into the clear green current below the
rapids Near the bank, where big pale vio-
lets grew in spring, sunfish had their nests.
Remember the first swim of the year,
Jack, when we'd stand shivering on the
bank testing the water now and again with
a cautious bare foot and debating who
should go in first? No one ever admitted
that the water was cold. Even if your lips
were blue and your teeth chartered, it was
always "F-f-fine!"
Can you still go under and come up with
your hair parted in the middle? And have
you lost your skill in tying stockings and
underwear in knots and then soaking the
knots to make them stick? Our teeth ache
when we think of them now and we almost
hear the chorus of "Chaw beef, chaw!"
which greeted our efforts to dsentangle our
garments.
Once both our shirts were in such Cor
dian condition that we sneaked home at
dusk, bare to the waist The rest Of that
memory Is painful.
We swan "dog paddle" mostly, remem-
ber? And our attempts at diving were al
most certain to end in "bely foppers" that
made us look as though we had been boiled
on one side. Once we played "Maori and

water? These things remain. How strange
it is that these little boys who splashed
and played there have gone forever!

A Velvet Winter

It is always deeply satisfactory to the
philosopher to read the fashion notes
and learn just how and why women
make the sudden changes IN shape, in
color, IN everything entering into their
personal appearance that they do. Just
with velvet winter, we are assured
Why? Because of the fuel shortage,
if you please, and the desirability Of
more warmth In garments, the fashion
expositors dare swear.
This, at least, they assert in one para
graph, while in the next conceding that
"backs were never so low" An Oriental
motif, it is remarked in passing. What
ever the source of the motif, every one
will admire the ingenuity Of the
modistes who pack on velvet because
of empty coal bins and then take as
much of it off the spine as custom and
nature will permit. Just how many mas
culine spines would accept such delight
full inconsistency, we wonder.
Ever since Ben Franklin started
America on its superheated way there
have been few rooms in almost any
American house where almost any one
could wear an Oriental costume. But
that surely does not explain the f1imsy
dresses of the Empire, which, so far as
they went, covered one-half of Europe for

Booze by Aeroplane

Deep are the difficulties of the De-
stroyers of. the Demon. Booze booze in
quantities, is finding it's way by aero
plane into the sternly sovereign State of
Florida-booze by the way of New Or
leans; booze from Cuba; booze from the
four winds of heaven. The Florida pro-
hibition bill, which its author describes
as "the most drastic anti-liquor law ever
framed in the history of the world" is
being defeated of it's purpose. Hundreds
of aviators fly regularly from half
dozen places in Florida to various points
where illicit stills are in operation.
Flights even as far as Philadelphia have
been known.
AS a result this law of unparalleled
drasticity has had to be amended so as
to include in it's sweeping confscation of
all vehicles or means by which booze is
brought into the state call machines
travelling through the air" Already it
has made contraband of automobiles
rugged with 'jag tanks" 1t seems that
another way of introducing the demon
into Florida (and apparently other dry
states) was by motor cars as we'll, so
rugged that the tanks shall carry gaso-
lene one side and alcoholic atrocities in
the other. Then rooms are rented by the
hotels at so much per night sometimes
as high as $10), which includes booze to
be found in the bureau drawers.
All this is new and unexpected diver
sion of the devil. With thousand miles
Of border to the south of us, three
thousand to the north of us and aero
planes flying in every direction the out
look for an absolutely air-tight, water
sealed America is not so bright as it
was. The aeroplane is evidently more Of
a complication than anybody had ever
dreamed And the sudden ending of the
war finds the United States with ten
thousand aeroplanes on it's hands, part
of which it may have to sell off at bar
gain prices. We hope for the sake CT
the cause that these may not fall into
the hands of the unrighteous to be used
for nefarious purposes.

William Agne,p Patton
The Traits of Delightful Ameri-
can Man of Letters

I'm THE old days when Thomas A. Scott,
the great railroad man, owned "The
A New York World'' and William Henry
Hurlburt was its editor the business man.
ager once met his friend Dana on the
street. "Paton," said the mordant oracle of
"The Sum-" "why don't you bring your paper
out once a week and sell it for 10 cents ?"
It was characteristic of the late William
Agnew Patton to cherish that anecdote. AS
publisher of "The World" he rejoiced to be
told that it was almost too brilliant, too
"lettered," for human natures daily food.
Hurlburt was a genius in his way, as err
ratio as he was witty, the natural hero of
the most gemlike typographical blunder in
American journalism, the one which gave
us "the elbows Of the Minco formed by the
sympathes of youth" He believed in print
ing the news in a newspaper, but he hadn't
any unreasonable prejudices in the matter.
The important thing was to be readable.
So he was glad t. have his literary articles
written by w. C. Brownell. When George
Lanigan brought him his immortal threnodv
on the death of the Akhound of Swat he
was prouder Of it than of any mere item of
news In that days issue. Patton had the
same point Of view. There never was
publisher who was more completely, in all
his instincts and habits of mind. man
of letters.
He proved his business acumen in the
course Of successful labors on "The World"
on "The Chicago Times" and later on
"Scribner's Magazine in the launching of
which he participated. In fact, he never
lost his interest in the publishers problems
the cost of print paper and other SUD-
plies, the mysteries of circulation and ad
vertising. But, like Hurlburt, he could lose
all thought of business in the enjoyment of
a good piece of writing 1t was inevitable.
therefore, that he should have drawn awav
from the practicalities of journalism and
from the political activities in which his
ardor as q good Republican had involved

Wasted Casless Sundays?

Technical papers are often depress-
ing. Oildon, spokesman for the petro-
leum trade, for this month is an exam
pie. 1t suggests that all the heroic
sacrifices of five million auto owners
through the long gasless Sundays this
summer were not merely useless but
worse. There is a prospect now of
troublesome gasolene surplus. 1t de-
clares:
ain our own minds there was no occa-
sion whatever. at the close Of the sum-
mer season, with an unusual amount Of
gasolene in storage, to inaugurate gas
less Sundays. It is our opinion, and the
opinion of many conservative oil men.
that the gasless Sunday proposition was
blupder. It would have been more
of blunder if the war had not ceased"
Oildom adds:
"The fact that gasolene stocks re-
ceded during the summer months was
taken by the government officials as q
signal to get excited when, as matter
of fact, the situation would have been
vastly more serious if stocks had not
declined"
And the paper offers figures to prove
its contention. Although oil production
this year will be just about even with
last year, practically no increase, there
was a big addition to the amount of
gasolene refined. This ran half bill
ion gallons above last year-an increase
of about 20 per cent Oil exports were
very heavy For the first nine months
of this year they were almost double
the whole exports of last year They
will be this year fully so per cent over
the record year of 1918, when Germany
was laying in large supplies in antici-
patton of the war.
If Oildom is right our motorists ought
to have the comfort of a probable low
ering in the price of gasoene. But
just as this looms up comes the prospect
that all the oil companies in Mexico may
shut down. If they do there may be
no surplus and no cheap gasolene This
is annoying. 1t is more annoying when
we remember the announcement of the
fuel administration that the man on
whose figures the order for gasless Sun
days was issued gave up a salary of
$4,000 year to take the job. We lose
our faith in experts.

His Picturesque Sicily" which is packed
with the fruits of scholarly research, is
much more than scholars book 1t is
"simpatico," as his Italian friends were
quick to tell him. He studied much, but he
experienced more. Languages and learning
generally were with him but means to an
end. When he gave his first edition of
"Vasari" to friend he made light of the
value Of the gift, because, as he said, he
had "got through with it," That is to say,
he had made it his own, SO much part of
his mind and imagination that he did not
need it any more. That was his way
through countless fascinating subjects-me-
diaeval architecture, French glass, Renais-
sance and early Flemish painting, Provencal
poetry, and so on. He saturated himself
in them, poured them out again in good
talk, and went on to other explorations.
Patton belonged to many clubs and socie-
ties. The Italians, for example, having
brought out translation of his Sicilian
book, still further to show their apprecia-
tion made him an honorary member of the
Royal Academy at Palermo. He had honors
membership in the old Tile Club, which he
helped to found along with Chase, Weir
Stanford White, Hopkinson Smith Frank
Millet, Dielman, Blum and others. They all
wore droll names. Patton, with his Scotch
blood, was known within the pale as The
Haggis. He indispensable in the
frolics, afoat and ashore, now long gone

two others left to recount their gay alb

arts have ever known in New York If thew
meant ineffable "larks," enjoyed early and
late, they meant also good work done-a
high ideal, enriched with the golden joy
of humor. Patton was faithful to that IDEAL
whether he was cracking jokes over
drawing on which Med" Abbey was en-
gagged digging for long hours in
European archives after some secret of
Siclian history.
He was abroad with. his wife when the
war broke out, and only reluctantly re-
turned to this country after some months
of breathless watching of events on the
other side. At Princeton, where he made
his home, he busted himself in the univer-
sity library, helping to form the great col
lection there of the literature of the war
and waiting. in passion of devotion for
the triumph of the Allies The gods we're
kind to him in that before they closed his
eyes they permitted him to see the glorious
end There are people in all parts of the
world who will read with a peculiar main

proclivities were part Of his gift for friend

was writing letters. Those who knew and
