WAR ALTERS BRITISH YOUTH
FIippancy Of Modern Young Men
Rather Upsets Their staid and
Dignified Elders.

London.-What has happened to our
conversational manners? The war has
altered them, but while some people
consider that it has improved them
others think it has sent them to the
dogs. The only point of agreement is
that they are different from what they
used to be.
For instance, the elderly managing
director of sedate city company was
a little surprised the other day when
Major Crasher, the stockbroker, lately
demobilized from the r. A. F., ended
a business talk over the telephone
with the phrase: "Righto, my dear
old beanr"
Was that familiar style Of address
to be considered quite all right" and,
In fact rather agreeable, or something
the reverse?
Then the young lady clerk who used
to be in the war office rings her mother
up from the city and exclaims: "Hello,
old thing! I shall be going to the the
ater tonight, SO don't wait up. Ta-ta,
old creature !"
The young man who was in the o.
T. G. slaps his father on the back and
says: II say, old china, why don't
you get a few new clothes? Trim
yourself up bitch? You'd do with
new hat, too. Rotten old hat you've
got. Well, SO long. old boy. Now, hop
of, old sport, or you'll miss that train" :"

FIND cREEL FAMILY WEALTH
Two Million Pesos Was Turned Over
to Mexican Government for
Identification.

Mexico City.-When representatives
of the famous Creel family of Chi
huahua recently appeared before the
government officials here with requests
for information regarding the where
abouts of mining railway and other
valuable stock valued at close to q
100000 pesos, they were astonished to
learn that the stock, as well as about
100000 pesos In paper money, was
held by the national treasury for iden.
tification of ownership and that 1t only
had been discovered few months ago
According to published accounts.
workmen, while cleaning out a spare
room in the building used by the fed
eral district government, found a score
of locked boxes which contained the
paper money and shares. Neither the
governor Of the federal district, Gen
Alfredo Breceda, nor the district court
after guarded Investigations, could
determine who owned the treasure, so
it was turned over in trust to the
national treasury.
The theory Is that during the first
revolutionary troubles which resulted
In the downfall of Porf1rio Diaz the
boxes were sent from Chihuahua to q
private residence Of the Creels here
and that when the Zapatistas first en-
tered Mexico City they were placed in
charge of the federal district govern
ment.
The Creel representative stated that
large sum of metallic currency and
valuable collection of jewels also
were being sought, but of these easily
realizable riches no trace has been dis
covered.

United States Senate.

Each United States senator is elect
ed for six years, unless he is chosen to
fill the unexpired term of some sena-
tor who has died or resigned. On
March 4 in every "odd year"-1919,
etc.-the terms of 80 senators expire !;
that is, one-third of the whole number.
BY this plan there is never an entirely

Talking United States

Say, DO, it gets my goat to hear
The slang some people use;
It drives me nutty, I declare,
To hear the boobs abuse
Our mother tongue. It's some
thing fierce
The way they throw the bull;
Good English is almost as scarce
As bullfrogs that grow wool!
Now mel use no slang at all;
United States for mine!
I really wouldn't have the gail
To peddle such line
Of hot air as most people sling;
1t makes me want to yell
And slam them on the beezer
bing!
And yet they think its swell!
No guy should be allowed to pull
That roughneck stuff-it's rawl
To stand around and shoot the
bull
Should be against the law.
That sort of spiel should be sup
pressed
And clamped beneath the lid.
By making it cause for arrest;
Listen-d'you get me, kid?
