THE AMERICAN CENT.
From the New York Evening Sun.
Constant Reader" asks the cues

Is it proper to call the American cent
a penny, and if so, why?
The Century and Standard diction-
aries both admit that a cent is some

that usage as "colloquial" Usage
even If colloquial-and usage roots in
conversation-is a valid authority in
forms of language. Nobody can saw
that to call cent a penny is mislead-
ing, but since the word cent is exact
1t is always preferable to the word
penny, which Is an analogy, and thus
inferior to the real name of the thing

Belgium's Royal Pair
Made La ling impression

THE visit ef King Albert and
4 Queen Elizabeth, and their son,
the Duke of Brabant, has unquestion-
ably strengthened the bonds of sym
pathy and friendship that already ex-
listed between America and Belgium
But the month they spent in America
did more, 1t ave thousands of Amer
lean people an opports0ity to come
face to face with knightly man and
queenly woman, who would have
been great in the spirit of sacrifice
and patriotic devotion to their land
and their people, had they not been
born of royal blood
The Belgian monarchs saw great
deal of our country and they met
many Americans, not all of them dis
tinguished or even prominent. They
enjoyed themselves, apparently, like
ordinary mortals and they were re-
ceived with the unaffected cordiality
Americans can show to those whom
they genuinely admire. In an extend
ed tour of sightseeing which called
for a great variety of public and pri-
yate engagements Albert did not fail
to pay his respects at the tombs of
Washington, of Lincoln and Roosevelt,
and everywhere he went his mod>sty,
the prestige of his heroic struggle
against Germany and the admirable
traits of character which he displayed
in trying circumstances threw a
glamor about the man much greater
indeed than could have been given him
by his royal title. Kings viewed mere
ly as kings are creatures Of little
worth nowadays. The gracious queen
shared with Albert the admiration of
the American people who know some
thing of her own good works for the
Belgians, which began long before the
German invasion.
Now that Albert and Elizabeth and
the young duke are on the way home,
aboard the transport George Wash
ington, they carry with them memo
ries Of q series of ovations made all
the more significant by the fact that
crowned heads were the recipients of
such honors from democratic nation
which despises the mere trappings of
ROYALTY.

Not a Long Drawn
Out Strike Expected

THE strike of the United Mine
j. Workers union will be of short
duration.
The government is taking vigor-
GUS hand in operation of the strike,
and the movement leaves nothing to
be done.
The strike went into effect last
night. There will be a general "walll
out" But the fuel administration will
see to it that the public is not to
suffer.
How long tn, mine workers will
held out remains to be seen. 1t is
believed that a large number of
miners are not in favor of the strike,
and that they will return to work
lust so soon as they find they are
to be protected.
1t is a safe prediction that the strike
will be over inside of week or two.

DUMAS AND MAauEr
From the Continental Edition of
London Mail

From the Continental Edition of the
London Mail.
1t has always been known that, in
writing his famous historical novels,
Alexandra Dumas. the elder owed a
great deal to Auguste Maquet and
other collaborators, but, according to
an article published in the Revue de
Paris by NJ. Gustave Simon this coll
liberation went a great deal further
than has hitherto been suspected
NJ Simon maintains that not only did
Maquet conceive the idea of founding
a novel on the Memories de NJ. dArtag-
man," but actually wrote the Three
Musleteers.' to which book. more than
any other, Dumas owes his fame. NJ
simon says that he compared Maquet's
manuscript with the printed text and
found that the two were practically
identical, the only changes being the
inversion of a few phrases and the ad-
dition of some paragraphs Nj. Simon
even publishes several notes from
Dumas to Maquet clamoring for copy"
about d'Aratgnan and suggesting de-
velopments of the story. Maquet went
on selling his work to Dumas for ten
years. M. Simon promises to explain
in another article. why Maquet's real
share in Dumas's novels was never dis

WHY LIFE is WORTH LIVING

From the Columbus Dispatch.
The old Arab who refused to have an
operation to restore his eyesight, on the
ground that he had seen so much of the
world he was tired of it, ought to have
lived in this day and age. For, verify,
there i. something new to be seen. Who
among us does not want to live a few
years longer. just to see what comes out
of the tangled conditions that exist to-
day?
Pick up any copy of any newspaper,
and glance at the headlines. dozen
wars going on, thousand complications
| in the affairs of men and nations, mill
lion strtnge situations into which the
race has fallen. So much money in the
world it is burden to carry it around,
it seems; a market basket full of money
for a market basket full of vegetables
that is the current price of foodstuffs-
with everybody complaining. And yet
the ships bringing in millions of dollars
worth OF diamonds, the shops filed to the
ceiling with luxuries, the streets and
roads TANNED with pleasure cars-and
dollar an hour. Verify t is strange con-
dition and it is going to be worth all the
suffering it costs to live on, just to see
the finish.
We used to magine that if we were old
and disabled and had never a penny in
the world, and suffered from all manner
of physical nfrmities, we would pray to
be taken away, to obtain eternal relief
from it all. But we have changed our
mind in regard to it; we want to live
| however burdensome life may become;
indeed, it occurs to us that we would be
willing to undergo all manner of physi-
cal torments few years longer, out OF
sheer curiosity. We are that much in
terested in how the world is finally going
to straighten itself out-for we are Opt
mist enough to believe that it will

John Jones fears he is very weak

He is on good terms with the millzmari

little trip around the country in the car
last summer and the hotelkeepers

on the car and the man said he guessed

Jones has como to the conclusion
there is something wrong inside his
head. He knows he ought to denounce
all the people he deals with as pirates

be about the same sort, of people he
is and he doesn't think of himself as
a pirate. Yes, Jones must be an eN-

THE PRESIDENTIAL AGE

There may or may not be deli

presidential aspirations We are
amons. those who do not believe age
always is a handicap in life's actlvi-
ties and struggles. Age is disease.
Many men are older at 40 than are
others who have passed the three

cultured cultivated exercised brain
stays young long after the body begins

There should be no rigid are limit

constitutes the proper presidential age
we should not dare hazard a guess.
Practically every first-class man in
the country of 40 will feel that, If fate
