One thing that makes national
guard service unpopular is the way
the civil authorities allow the guards.
men to be treated. If they are called
out to suppress disorder, they are gen,
orally held as the targets for the
abuse and missiles of the mob until
several of them are hurt before they
are allowed to defend themselves. Sat.
urday nights riot in Knoxville, in
which several members of the guard
called out to keep order, were beaten
up by rioters, is the latest proof OF
this. Soldiers can't keep the peace
when they are not allowed to defend
themselves. When the time comes
that it is necessary to call out troops
the time has come to shoot.

Get No Good Out of Change

Mr.. Hollins was member of the
sub-text book commission of ten
school men and women picked from
|ali sections of the state to select the
books to be used for the next five
years. The Pinellas county superin-
tendent says the text book commits
sion, which is composed of Gov. Sidney
J. Cats, State Superintendent w. N.
Sheats, State Treasurer J. c. Luning,
Commissioner of Agriculture w. A
McRae, Comptroller Ernest Amos, At
torney General Van G. Sewaringen
and Secretary of State H. Clay Craw-
ford, ignored the recommendation of
the sub-commission for a change but
change to modern books, and by
adopting the revised editions of the
Wheeler's readers and Frye's geogra-
ply the patrons of the state will have
to pay out thousands of dollars with
practically no change in the text
books.
However, it is against the law not
to change to the revised edition and
both parent and teacher can be pros
ecuted for failure. Supt. J. E. Knight
of this county, has received letter
from State Superintendent w. N.
Sheats warning him against failure in
enforcing the law, and asking him to
warn, the teachers about its enforce
ment.
Under the text book law the COM
missioners of the board of state in
stitutions serves as the text book
commission, and the state superinten-
dent appoints ten school people to
serve as a sub-commission, making
recommendations as to changes. The

Beneath the stairway of lie Bains

Nine. Jacqueline. the governess of
the little Prince of Loeven and Hans
bach, herself Genevan by birth and
Latin in heart and instinct. does not
dare to answer the child's question.
She caresses his ruddy locks. and
while her gaze wanders over the mel
ancholy waters in front of her she
thinks of the azure tints Of Lake Le-
man.
Tell me. Nine Jacaueline why did
they bring me here?'
She remains silent. She has an
aversion to telling little Karl Helm
rich that since the abdications wrung
from his grandfather and his father,
the reigning prince and the heir-ap-
parent, he represents the sole surviV-
ing hope Of the ruthless mobiles, al

western powers and once by popular

During the four years Of the war
Nine. Jacaueline had groaned in spir-

TO this petty court. Not feeling able
to give up a place which afforded her
living, she had addressed herself,
by way of palliation, to developing a
tenderness in the soul OF the little
princelet whom she loved. The blood
OF princes is always mixed. Karl
Heinrich's grandmother was a Rus
sian. His mother was an English
woman. Then there was Goethe and
Werther. So Nine JacQueline homes

The horses stop short at the ram

the fragile master in whom are cen

desire for revenge. 1t is a scene
from the middle ages, which seemed
TO us. even before the war, so far
away. The riders gather together be-

Up to week ago. when everything
went to smash. Karl Heinrich's clild-
hood had been so peaceful. An orphan
on his mothers side. he was but five
years old when his father went to the
front. And the governess had forbid

the war.

Jacqueline trembles. But Karl Heinrich

waves his hand out Of the window to
the crowd. Yet only two nights be-
fore, when the master of the court and
the chief huntsman arrived at the
autumn residence and carried Karl
Heinrich away with them, the child
had cried with fright at the sight Of
the armed men who filled the ante
chamber.
Then came cultural commands, a
clicking Of metal and silence. The
chiefs organized the defense ~of the
