When Delay Helped

We will suppose that ratification Ina placeaas matter of course within a after the presentation of the treaty June will suppose that the Adriatic proposed by the entente had been presented in time as doubt would have objections or rat her the presidents objections would presented to the league. And what would been the re- suit? The United States would have been alone and would have been bound by the majority. without opportunity protest
 We could not have threatened withdrawal. for we would have been bound foot for a period of two years. The other league finding us in this helpless position would hesitated to make other settlements and adjustments much more materially adverse to than the Adratic settle ment which after all is little to anybody in this country except the president
 If in the end the entente's plan settlement shall be modified will be because ratification has been withheld as club decency of behavior.

"HE SAID. IN PART:-


 I Canned Interviews With Visitors To ! Our Town is the title of the latest handbook published by the Reporters l Protective League of Phoenix. The 1 booklet fills a long felt want on the part Of reporters for the local news papers. inasmuch as they are frequent ly called upon to write up interviews with visitors to our. town.
 Visitors can he classed under two general heads: Those who have been | here before and those who visit the town for the first time. Within their i resDective classes an enterprising re- porter has figured that these visitors all have the same general comment to make on our town.
 The Real Reason
 Why. then asks the reporter. forego a good game of penny anto over at the police station to interview some duck that comes into town. when. if you will tell me whether he is a new one or a backslider-I can tell you what he will have to say about this burg?
 Wh. indeed, And so a committee of reporters from the local newspapers compiled the book canned inter- views.
 The system has already been tried out on all the papers and it works won
  set up and kept standing for. instant use. Each interview is numbered. When q reporter is told that Mir. So- and-so is in town. he gets the man on the wire learns his full name. why ne had to come to our town. whether or not it's his first visit. and when he hopes to get out. With these four facts in. hand the reDorter writes q brief lead and then adds q little note for the makeup man. like this: ''Pick up interview F-3w." And then his work is done.
 Samples Here
 Here are couple samples of these canned interviews: D-XN (For the man who visits the town for the first time) T never dreamed that there was such wonderful place as this valley in Arizona. nor such a progressive city as Phoenix in the southwest. Wmy. we customers always connect Arizona with deserts reptiles and cowboys. Of course We had heard of the Roosevelt dam. but we never dreamed that 1t had work ed such wonders on the arid desert here. What a great tribute these wonderful farms and foliage are to the pioneers of the desert who fought off heat and hunger, etc.
 Yeah. It's Marvellous Int. O-G Cor the man who comes back after prolonged absence) Why, it's simply marvellous the way Phoenix has grown since I was here last said MT. B. Blank (who is back on a short visit with old friends in Phoenix. or who is drummer selling out of Den ver). Do you know that when I was here last they hadn't laid a foot of pavement and now look at the place. Why, you can't turn around but what you run into q new building going up. I understand your cotton crop last sea = son amounted fifty millions of dollars. Justthink of the prosperity that means to Phoenix. I tell you ! predict that Phoenix is fast becoming the greatest metropolis in the southwest. But see you still have the same depot that was here when I fell into the town forty years ago. etc.
 These are just samples of interviews taken at random from the reporters handbook but they show just what a

LENTEN FERMENTATION
By Edmund Vance Cooke

l pour ashes my head;
 l twine sack-cloth my loins My fare is rich, my meat is red;
 I sit up nights and match for coins, My conscience does not scorch burn;
 I'm remorseful penitent; Gm making out my tax return
 And heaven knows that's enough for LentD I seek seat at vulgar shows;
 I laugh aloud and smite my palms; I look chorus girls in
 I have twinges and no qualms. I look for further faults to learn
 I'm thinking up devilment; (Im making out my tax return
 And heaven knows that's enough for Lent) I'm picking long and black cigars;
 I feast like any Epicure;' I sigh because there bars;
 I do not love the worthy poor. All Sabbatarian rites I spurn.
 Likewise all fast and famishment; Gm making out my return
 And heaven knows that's enough for LentD
