LUKE M,LukE SAYS

Another reason why there are so many old maids is because smart woman won't give up s15 job for 15-cent man.
 Women are so intelligent about some things that it jars you to see a short, rat woman wear a certain style just because tall, thin woman wears it.
 Many man would go home at 9 o'clock at night in these prohibition times only he can't think up good excuse to give his wife for being home so early.
 A woman may not get any pleasure out of bossing her husband But she'll boss him just to convince her neighbors that she can do it.
 It doesn't do for the owner of a mule to go around announcing that he hasn't any kick coming.
 Have you ever noticed the queer look an old maid gives woman who has had four or five husbands?
 If girls hands are soft and white and her mothers hands are rough and red, the girl isn't going to make you as good wife as you think she is
 Anyway, a homely girl hasn't much trouble convincing herself that she has an intellectual appearance.
 The moths are going to have hard winter, Most of us will be wearing the same outfit we wore all summer
 You may not believe it., but the man with a wife and four daughters doesn't get any more buttons sewed on than a bachelor.
 Give boy his own way and he'll use up six pairs of shoes before he uses up one box of shoe polish.
 Consider the gas meter. It tolls not. but gosh, how it can spin.

Little Change in
 The Crop Situation

e ONE of the crops of this year g such as wheat and other small grain, have been harvested and others have virtually reached the harvesting stage.
 The American Steel and Wire com ipany's weekly report says: 'Little change since last week; corn is ripen- ing rapidly, much already in shock and siio. Cotton shows no improve Iment over the last few weeks. Some tobacco is being harvested. Potato prospects are being further curtailed
 by the long dry spell in the west and by rotting in the east. Flowing and fall seeding is retarded by dryness. 1" Alabama's cotton has been so in-
 jured by the boil weevil and the army
 worm since the latter part of August that the yield, it is estimated, will not
 be more than six hundred thousand
 bales. In July the Alabama forecast was for eight hundred thousand bales.
 But this states corn crop is turn
 ing out to be much larger than had
 been predicted. Seventy million
 bushels is now the estimate. This bumper crop will go far toward mak- ing up for the shortage in cotton.

CHIN NATOWN

From the New York Herald. US night time on the Bowery and the
 Chinese lanterns glow, Green and yellow. pink and purple.
 swinging idly to and fro; In the shadows of strange towers, iron.
 monsters of the air, Dream the children of old China in the
 citys silent lair. Though time and science magic-wise
 have wrought the world anew. And stars of mans achievements blaze
 their trail across the blue. Still clad in lowered silken folds that
 shimmer like the sea, Plods the pallid prince of poppy's vine.
 contented just to be. Oh, tarry but little while within this
 house of dreams, Where tossing wind bells tinkle and
 austere Confusius gleams, And sip with me bowl of tea beneath
 some witching fan. Or wings enchanted soaring as vhan the world began.

own disclosures and others made by
 witnesses before a congressional in vestigating committee showed that there had been revolting cases of i'll treatment. Lieutenant "Hardboiled" Smith was Balls superior at Farm No. 2. That he was adjudged by court-martial more to blame than his subordinate is shown by the fact that he still has about one year to serve of an eighteen months sentence. Smith was also committed to Govern or's Island. General Pershing reduced Smiths sentence from three years to eighteen months. This may lead to General Pershing being summoned to testify before the congressional com 'mittee which has been Investigating the treatment of army prisoners in France.
 A great deal of indignation was ere sted throughout America when allega- tions of brutality to army prisoners were first made, but there is nothing that exerts more narcotic effect, ap- parently, than congressional investi- gation. 'Hardboiled" Smith and "Hardboiled" Ball had been almost forgotten. From all reports they are a precious pair, but Smith and the officers immediately above him were more to blame than the sergeant, who declared he was merely obeying orders.
 "Hardboiled" Smith earned his so- briquet. Prison Farm No. was veritable ''hell hole"

LETTER DELAYED 37 YEARS

LETTER DELLA | ED 3s YEARS Washington Special to the New York
 World
 Away back in 1882, when Timothy Q. Howe of Wisconsin was Postmaster Gen. eral in the cabinet of President Ches- ter A. Arthur, a letter was mailed from the Ebbitt house here to Col Charles E. Sherman,I guest at the Metropolitan hotel, seven blocks away.
 The letter bore the admontion. Post. master will please return to above ad- dress if not called for in 10 days" But the letter. mailed on April 2, 1882, appar- entity was not called for in 10 days or even in more than g years, for it was re- turned to the Ebbitt house today And 1t was returned in the administration of Postmaster General Burleson.
 While the letter was going the seven blocks and returning there have been Is Postmaster Generals. The letter came back to the F,bbtt with the regular re- turn mail and bore only two postmarks, that of April 2. 1882, and September ', 1919. The hotel management is attempt ing to locate Colonel sherman, to whom the letter was addressed.

From the New York World
 TN tone and temper, the reservations
 to the treaty of peace adopted by the S Senate committee on foreign rela- tions read like an ultimatum from the late imperial German government. Will helmstrasse never employed more offen- sive language than Senator Lodge and his associates use to define the terms un- der which the Senate will consent to ratification.
 But quite apart from any question of language and manners is the vital fact that the second reservation destroys the lea que of nations If the United States declines to assume under the provisions of Article 10 or under any other article any obligation to do any of the things to prevent war and maintain peace which the league was created to do, what re- mains? The coveh hant becomes scrap of paper. It becomes worse. It becomes a piece of shameless diplomatic false pre- tense to trap the peoples of the world into a sense of security that does not and cannot exist.
 If the United States refuses to assume any obligations whatever even ito adopt economic measures for the protection of any other country from external aggres- sion, no other country can be expected to assume any real obligations, and if there are no obligations of any klnd under the covenant we are back where we were the day that the German troops crossed the Belgian frontier. Nothing is left except for every country to arm to the teeth and make such alliances as it can for the day when the enemy threatens.
 There can be no reduction in armament under such league as the Lodge res ervations leave. On the contrary. the old competition in armament must be re- sumed at once, with the United States as one of the leaders, for if there are no obligations on the part of anybody to lift finger to prevent war, every nation, including our own. must be. pre- pared for the worst, and the American people must make up their minds to be taxed at least sl ,5oO, 100000 year for the upkeep of an adequate army and navy
 There must be no illusions about the meaning of the second reservation. It wrecks the league and is intended to wreck the league. Senator Lodge and his associates have done indirectly what they dared not do directly.
 As for the attempt to make the ratifica- tion effective when three of the four principal allied powers, which are Great Britain. France. ,Italy and Japan. have accepted the reservations. that is only an invitation to trouble. Twenty seven governments signed the treaty of peace and the covenant. They cannot be bound by any action taken by three of the allied powers and they cannot be obli- gated to recognize changes in the treaty to which they have not assented. This provision substitutSs for a league of na- tons an ineffective, alliance bound by no distinct ties and recognizing no ob- ligations. It too is bogus

Crucial lime in Our
 Waterway Situation

M IL Birmingham should appreci-
 8A ate the vital relation of the Warrior river to the commerce of this district.
 The potentialities of waterway traf- fic cannot be overestimated. But Bir- mingham has been slow in preparing to take advantage of it's possibilities. The government is doing it's part in building steel barges and towboats necessary to provide adequate trans portation for heavy tonnage, but no tangible steps have been taken to es- tablish the Port of Birmingham, ab- solutely essential to the development of our opportunities.
 The Port of Birmingham corpora ton has been organized, it is true, but it must eventuate in action and that without days delay.
 This is crucial time in the Warrior situation, and every business man here must put his shoulder to the wheel and help make real what we have so long talked sabout. The amount of money required to finance the proposed Birmingham terminal at Short Creek is not large, compara- lively speaking. Considering the benefits to accrue to the Birmingham district, it-is a bagatelle.
 The water rate is 20 per cent beloW the all-rail rate. But in order to make the water transportation profitable and satisfactory to the government, there must be up-river as well as down-river cargoes, and this up-river freight cannot be developed on large scale without the Port of Birmiug- ham.
 The barges which the government has built for the Warrior are in ur- gent demand on the Mississippi, where the fullest use is being made of water transportation, and unless Birming- ham hurries up there is danger of the Warrior equipment being transferred to the "Father of Waters" Should such be the case, Birmingham shippers would have no one to blame but them selves.
 Birmingham has had upbuilders in the past. It has men today-more now than ever-who know how to do big things. Let them get together and hurry up the enterprise in ques- ton.

The repub-s lie has an area of but 9 square niles of mountainous soil, but it's population numbers about 10000 and it claims to be able to put in the field an army of 1200 men, virtually all the men and boys be- tween the ages of 16 and 60.

KILLING THE LEAGUE

reasonable reservations defining moro clearly, if need be, the duties and obliga- 2
 lions that the United States, assumes under the league of nations, but the
 Lodge reservations. even when they have undertaken to do legitimate thing, have done it in so Prussian a manner that no nation could accept them in their present
 form without sacrificing it's self-respect It is inconceivabe that the Senate,~ unless it is bent on destroying the league and wrecking the treaty, will accept the
 language of the Lodge reservations. Pos . sibly the committee does not expect that
 these reservations will be accepted. We have been assured by the Tribune that '
 it was engaged in accommodating material
 for trading purposes and that its de- cisions were not to be taken too seri--- ously
 In the meantime the special commit < tee of the American Bar association q
 makes a common sense contribution to- the controversy by suggesting that the treaty be ratified at once without amend
 ments of any kind and that such amend
 inents as may seem desirable be obtained
 by negotiations after peace is established
 It was in this manner that the bill or
 rights was added to the constitution. \
 and it is in this manner that the cove-r
 nant of the league of nations should be
 changed if it is to be changed The Lodge reseryations are new ob- <
 stacle to the treaty and to peace itself. S
 If the Senate is to accept them and the
 controversies that are sure to grow out
 of them, it might far better turn to the leadership of Senator Knox, reject the .
 whole treaty and make a separate peace with Germany. That, at leasE would
 be honest diplomacy. and the United ,
 States could not be accused of flagrantN
 hypocrisy and double-dealing
