WRIGHT'S LETTER

a supper in a restaurant costs around
five francs on an average, or about
80 cents in our money. You can make
it cost as much more as you like by
adding few extras to the meal.
Our business on this trip was to
deliver printed matter to the different
divisions of army of occupation.
might say in regard to the wealth
er that it rained every day of the
trip as it has for two or three
months past. A little snow fell on
Christmas day, but it was soon gone,
except on the hills
The next morning we left Nifty for
Trieves (Trier). Most of the cities
in Alsace Lorraine have French and
a German name respectively as
above. Our course took us through
the city of Luxembourg. 1t is nice
little city of about $4,000. / have
some views of the city that / will
show you when I return (?) I be-
lieve it was as neat and clean as any
city I was ever in. Also the roads
throughout the territory of Luxen-
burg were fine. Fifty per was easy
to hit.
That night we stayed at the Hotel
zue Past in Thieves. This also is a
fine city. Much more like American
cities than are the French cities.
The price of rooms and meals was
about the same number of marks here
as it was francs in Nifty, and we
could get 1866 marks for 100 francs
so you see it was really less. A mark
and a franc at par value is supposed
to be the same.
The German civilians treated US
fine. Some would go out of their way
to speak to us. | think the people
of Germany, if they were sorry to
lose the war are at least glad it is
over.
The next day took us into very
picturesque country. went over
hills sleeper than anything / ever
saw in Vermont. If Grow hill in
Fairbanks village was rough and
muddy and the ditch had no bottom
it would be something like the roads
/ went over between 2.30 and 500 p.
M on Saturday. I saw two road
tractors pulling one truck out of
the ditch and after that was even
more careful about staying in the
middle of the road. I went seven
kilometers Az miles in second speed,
and in other places I had to use low
gear, but the Dodge didn't boil the
water any, and / went 129 miles the
next day before put any more wat

ton was paid to spelling.
Since then the schools have taken
a long step forward, : but the old
timers insist that the modern boy and
girl dc. not spell as we'll as father and
grandfather did. OF u the mod

Grandfather never dreamed Of learn
ing how to make furniture in school,
and grandmother had no domestic
science course, wherein she learned to
concoct thousand-island dressing.
When reading, writing and arithmetic
were considered essentials, spelling
claimed almost as much attention as
the three RS.
A few years ago considerable rival
'ry arose in Indiana, and there were
debates between the new school and
the old. The elderly people insisted
that the modern youth can not spell
in the same class with those who
went to school thirty, forty and fifty
years ago. To settle the dispute
tagion for accurate spelling spread
throughout the state. Elimination
contests finally established a county
CHAMPION, and he, in turn, chal-
lenged the champion Of the neigh
boring county. The state superin-
tendent of public instruction approved
the spelling matches, and school au-
thorities generally were interested.
At that time the school officials de-
clared that the unusual attention di-
rected to the subject resulted in bet
ter spelling in the schools. The win

pie do not r. for the movies. An
other epidemic Of spelling matches

and the blow will not fall upon the
cities alone. but will effect the Equity,

SENATOR REED AGAIN
SPEAKS AGAINST LEAGUE

Washington, March 9.-Senator
Reed of Missouri, speaking here to-
day at a meeting held under the aus
pices of the Jewish Welfare Board,
reiterated his opposition to the pro-
posed constitution of the league of
nations and called upon Jews OF
America to oppose the league plan.
I'VE need not be afraid to express
our opinions said Senator Reel.
eve have been forbidden to talk and
even to think, but it is time to speak
out when the safety and security of
this nation is in jeopardy.
ut is important that the American
nation take this matter in hand and
think it over very seriously. For l43
years this nation has carried on its
business on basis of constitution
framed by the fathers, who. in their
day, were the wisest men. We have
grown great and large; all the ma
tions of Europe have found a haven
of refuge with us The Monroe doc
'trine has kept out the nations of Flu
rope from interfering With the in
ternal affairs in the country.
Those who maintain that the pres
ent constitution of the league of ma
.tions does not overthrow the tradl-
tional American policy of the Monroe
doctrine do not know what they are
talking about. Let them examine the
document and they viii zee that it
provides for two things--first. that
Europe must keep its hands off from
the American continent and second,
that the United States will also keep
out from European affairs.
Human nature does not change.
Nations will always fight No ma
ton is perfect. Evidences and causes
OF disagreement will always occur"
