T never heard anybody enjoy talk ing as much as Mrs. Green did and enjoyed listening to her. too. It gave me an awfully prosperous sort of feel ing She went on that way for days be4ore it struck me as queer that none of her wonderful talk really mater falized and that she was really wear ing shabby old clothes and slaving like a dog to keep her simple little estab- lishment in order. She kept on talk ing bigger than ever until one day I happened to ask her how much time they had spent in Florida. and she said Two weeks-on our wedding trip and got sort of fused.
 After that I began to find out things about tic Greens. MT. Green is a clerk in a downtown office and doesn't earn cent over two thous- and a year, and they have four chill dren and a pretty hard time to get along. But that doesn't stop their talking. Talks cheap. It's just as easy for Mrs. Green to make plans about things she'd like to do as it is

 One feature of the bill that has been wisely included is that which directs that the vessels be sold to American interests. Through this provision it is intended to keep up our merchant marine instead of distributing it among the many foreign shippers who are anxious to get ships wherever they can be acquired. The difference be- tween what the vessels cost and what they will bring will give some idea of this part of the work cost but it seems likely it will be some time be- fore that amount will be known.

The Los Auueles Fleet

If one knew nothing about the new Pacific fleet except what he had learned from the Los Angeles newspapers, he would suspect that it had been im- properly named-that it should be called the Los Angeles fleet" that it had been created only for the glory of Los Angeles; that while it would probably make excursions up and down the coast calling at the villages of San Francisco. San Diego Portland and Seattle it's station would be in as near to San Pedro harbor as could get It could not of course get into the harbor but the ocean at that point IS wide and there is plenty of room for the fleet
 We notice in one of the headlines the cheering information that the crews of the fleet are great spenders so that suppose Los Angeles expects spirited competition between them and the tourists to the great advantage the regular inhabitants as well as to their great surprise for to the former bucoc residents Kansas and Iowa, nothing can be more delightfully."- inexpcable than the spectacle of man separating himself from his. money.

Race Riots

It is easy for one of a well-ordered mind to understand how those race riots like that which is raging in Chicago or like that which recently famed in Washington spread so far beyond their original limits. It is observed that they always start among the lower classes of blacks and whites and unless they quickly suppressed they come to in- volve many usually right thinking people of both races.
 We have observed in a fairly comprehensive study of these outbreaks large and small that they have their origin in something more or something later than ordinary antpathythe political sentiment engendered during the civil war and famed for many years afterward
 In the south before the the poor white" was despised alike by the slave and the slave The latter a rule well kept. well fed and kindly treated. His present generally disagreeable to him and his future was assured. He knew cared little about freedom. The existence of the poor white" precarous. He hated the negro because the negro measured the importance of by his visible possessions and the poor white had none the negro regarded him a person of import in the scheme of things. Hence his designation by the former slaves of "Po white trash"
 So the poor white became "nigger hater." The slave The aristocracy of the south and it's descendants have never shared the emotions or the whites respect to the Whenever a from the south expresses bitter feeling against the negro may deduce that he is not descendant of the slave owning class-the southern arisocracy
 The southern gentleman rather likes the negro. His attitude toward him is of kindness. mixed with degree of condescenson which the educated negro sometimes finds hard to bear, rather harder than his insistence that the negro keep his place" But he shares of the bitter sentiment hatred of the descendant of the poor white who don't like nigger nohow."
 There is and has always been class in the north corresponding to the before the-war poor white of the south Without special incentive of the latter for antipathy to the negro he has much the same habit of thinking, corresponding class has in all times and in all regions.
 Circumstances compel his residence in congested cities in close proximity to the "back districts" and thus fire and tow brought closely together. A fire started is apt spread beyond the point of origin.

 It was most amazing! Famous col lectors and dealers in the occident and the orient had been on the watch for those gems for months and all the time they had been reposing peacefully in a sunken U-boat, at the very Gootstep, one might say, of the great American metropolis They were a part of the hoard which I had supposed belonged exclusively to the ex-kaiser. Evident ly Dr. Certeis had more than a bandits right to hunt for those gems
 And Chrys was welcome to the en- tire package, so far as was concerned If any one except Certeis had been in- terested, would then and there have handed all my clues and information to her. But-it was utterly impossi- ble for me to further a scheme which

 Father forgive them-for they know not what they do-and it after the mockery and the spear thrust and after the crucfixon that Jesus offered this prayer for his tormentors.
 Horrible as was the cruelty of the treatment accorded Jesus it failed to meet the same strong condemnation which He made against those who robbed the poor codbloodedly. and those who hypo- citicay prayer public places which they devoured widows houses"
 The harlot and the outcast worthier in Jesus eyes than the schemer who sought to deal uriustly with his neghbors in the economic world.
 The latter guilty of sins of the head. while the former guilty of sins of the heart-of the emotions.
 In tie sight of the world the harot is more greatly desp1sed than the business crook, but Jesus always spoke kindly to her, whereas He invariably scorned the betrGyer of the poor
