irresponsible Idyls
BY LEE.kINGSTON.

Within a heavy leathern tome,
whose wrinkled leaves are brown
with age. there is tale of ancient
Rome, the first bootlegger's heri-
tage. Icarius was the fellows
name, whom Bacchus gave a skin
of wine, to Attica he took the same
and showed the shepherds how to
dine. They drank, as he would
have them do. then, liking not the
swirly spell. they staggered to their
feet and threw our classic hero
down q we'll. That Is, those bone
dry shepherds, when one tried to
teach them liquors lure, arose as
independent men and gave that
gent the water cure. Now, IL they
in their Attic way, the bringer of
good wine immersed, what would
such persons do today, when all
conditions are reversed? How
would these birds reward that man
who, whilst they dined with mirth
and cheer, came Juggling in a
sprinkling can and poured cold
water in their beer! Would they
at once applaud the point and load
him down with precious spoils. and
call fair maidens to anoint his brow
with 'nard and costly oils! Would
they arise with songs Of praise and
crown him king upon the spot. the
laurels would they bring - the
bays? almost think that they
would not.

Folks and Things
Around Washington
Labert St. Clair.

According to the latest reports,
Ronceverte, W. Va, still Is without
a sea turtle, but that Is no fault
of Capt. Oscar A. Price, a one-time
resident Of that place. Price, who
is president Of the Grifhth-Chaplin,
Fairbanks -Piekford, or Fairbanks
Fairbanks, IL you will, motion pic
ture combination, once tried his best
here in Washington to get q turtle
for the town. The cops prevented 1t.
The Captain was breezing down
along the Center Market when he
saw a sea turtle almost as large as
a roundhouse taking the air. I'm
mediately he was seized with a
great idea. Why not take 1t back
to Ronceverte and give the boys
who had eaten canned turtle so
long that they thought the tin. q
part of the food, little treat? Hav-
ing purchased the turtle at great
cost, the generous captain put the
animal under his arm and started
back to his hotel with 1t. In a very
short time, however, the turtle be-
came quite burdensome, so Price.
deciding it was able to walk, set it
down on the sidewalk, tied a piece
of rope securely about its neck and
continued down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. with his pet on leash.
Then came the cop. Price argued
that he only desired to take the
turtle back home so that the boys
around the public square could ap-
preciate what a trip to the seaside
meant, in part, but his explanation
would not go. They made him turn
the turtle loose. Price then r.m-
promised by taking home half a
dozen sea shells. They still are ex-
hibited in Ronceverte and are Of the
greatest interest, because IL you
hold one of them to your ear and
point It toward the ocean, you can
hear the sad sea waves signing.
Which is quite pastime when one
is waiting for train or otherwise
has time hanging on his hands in
Ronceverte.

By George Perry Morris.

Sarah Bernhardt, who has the Sc
cret of Methusaleh and the vitality
of generations Of her Semitic an
cestors seemingly unimpaired,
though she has been mutilated by
repeated surgical operations, is COM
ing to the country again on what is
announced as possibly her final
farewell tour" Her art, her zest
for life. her almost superhuman
powers Of physical endurance long
since brought captive, and chained
to her chariot persons who on other
grounds would condemn her. Even
the relative penury which drives
her forth at the age of 70 to make
more ducats Is the outcome of her
generosity and her expansive dispo-
sition. She never has been sordid,
miserly or mean. Earning lavishly,
she has given lavishly, albeit not
always wisely.
Mrs. Francis Sayre, wife OF a pro-

caustic comments on the slovenly,
inefficient wasteful way in which
the national business is done; and
he uttered for himself and for his

American Ambassador to japan,

He has expressed to the State De-
partment wish to revisit his native
heath after an unbroken period of
activity in the Far East extending
roughly over two and O half years.
The department. besides It's readi-
ness to grant Ambassador Morris
q merited vacation. is anxious to
"orientate" itself at first hand
about conditions within and ad-
jacent to- his highly important
bailiwick. Probably It will be
found desirable that Mr.. Morris
shall not leave Japan until the ar
rival in China of Charles r. Crane.
our new Minister to Peking, who
hopes to sail from San Francisco
about April 20.
Americas intentions in the Fran
co-German imbroglio over the Ruhr
unrest and the new French occu-
patton can be summarized as pol
icy of watchful waiting-an expe-
dent of which Wilsonian diplomacy
is prone to make use. The United
States Is anxious to, avoid anything
that can undermine allied solidarity
and Is prepared to do everything
feasible to promote IL. It is within
the range Of possibilities that the
State Department may presently
make q practical gesture in q use

HOW ABOUT TT.

The daily news is full Of lots
about revolts and bombing plots,
but very little does 1t tell
of how to beat the II. c. L.
My paper warns me that the Huns
are building battleships and
guns-but this is what I'd rather
know: How high are prices apt
to go?
I'm glad to learn that foreign
Reds are getting bullets in their
heads. but what about the cost
of prunes and summer hats and
pantaloons?
It's flne to know the big events
as staged in other continents,
but now and then I'd like to hear
