Der who registered for garden work.
A notable feature OF the gardens
this year. Supervisor Williamson de-
clared. IS their cleanliness and free
dom from insects and other pests.
A feature OF the work which was
suggested by Mr.. Williamson but
which has not materialized as yet is

the Friends Of Irish Freedom In the
latest issue Of the New W/ness. of
which he is editor, @. X Chesterton
Gays:
whatever the members at West

England will govern Ireland never
again Let US hold this reality in the
whirlpool OF petulant anger! Ireland
IS lost 10 US: but II Is still possible
that she may become a friend In
Ireland. the massacre OF '9S has
been repeated and repeated. And the
promises Of politicians have been
made and broken, made and broken,
until a politicians promise has be-
come as bitter a seer in Ireland as e
should be here.
Ireland proceeded 70 govern her
self and with the continual interior
ence OF the English military she IS
governing herself today. If she IS
governing herself badly II IS because
all tho machinery OF the law IS in
alien hands. The law-abiding Sim
Fem people obey the Sim Fein law;
the others find no law 10 obey.
1--WE know. OF course. what our
politicians intend-by continual pin
pricks 20 provoke the Sim Feiners
20 a physical revolt, which can be
repressed by airplane and artillery.
Our mean rulers would then be able
10 take the high tone and relate 10
the League Of Nations the regretta-
BILE necessity of having 10 meet force
with force. But the Sim Feincrs are
too clever.
Nothing VIII serve 70 reconcile
the two countries but a measure

self-government. Otherwise let them
declare that Ireland shall not have
self government and proceed 20 re-
press the national movement with

When Calm Seas Are Dangerous.

Sometimes, when to the landsman,
there seems no sign of an approach
ing storm, CLASSY sea Is moved by
a gentle swell. But the sailor knows
that those quiet fluctuations are q
warning of the deadliest danger. Up
on a perfectly calm day ships have
been caught by a gentle roll Of the
water and later dashed to pieces on
the rocks by the ground sea-" On
the Atlantic, waves rise forty. feet
high. Driven before the gale they
travel 80 miles All hour, and soon pass
out of the storm area. These waves
roll on settling into long, rolling ridges
that travel in three parallel lines.
And the further they go the lower they
sink. As the ground sea advances
1t creates false tide. And the waves
break in full force within an hour of
the warning swell. A wave caused by
a ground sea may be 20 feet high /;
when you remember that 1t strikes
boat with a force Of ton to the
square inch, you will understand the
necessity for pulling ashore while there
is time.

old MORSE myth SEES weak POINT
Old Man Sykes Recognizes Flaw
in Optimistic Amor.
Little aun-ln With His Better Half
At the Breakfast Table, However,
Showed Him the Road to
Victory.

Old Man Sykes has become enam-
ored Of the cult that enthrones mind
over matter and teaches that a mans
happiness or misery In the world is
determined by his mental outlook.
Sykes reaps happiness from the mere
fact Of telling himself that everything
Is all right whether II is or not.
We are all. of course, merely having
q little run-around here on earth be-
tween the cradle and the grave, and
We are sure to meet with much unhap-
piness. Knowing this, and that no
matter what happens in the meantime
we shall all make the same earthly
finish, one might as well be good ma
tured about II and get all the joy out
Of existence consistent with the laws
Of health and longevity. So Sykes. is
probably quite right about 1t, Glenn NJ.
Farley writes in the Seattle Post-In-
telligencer. From a peevish and
iraselble individual, exceedingly SEN
sitiye to contact with every small I'M
pleasantness, he has acquired an ele-
plant hide for trouble. He was knock.
ed down by an automobile the other
day, sprawling on muddy crossing,
and picked himself up blithely, re-
marking smillngly to the careless driv-
er that 1t was beautiful day, but
that it would probably rain before
morning. The driver thanked his stars
that the man was nut and drove on.
Sykes has passed through many Of
these tests and concluded that he had
his armor all on.
But one morning the coffee was
bit off and Sykes remarked upon II
pleasantly; Mrs. Sykes LET him have
the whole coffee pot in the neck. Her
stomach has been botherlng her lately.
and she was In no mood for levity.
And the regrettable part Of the whole
business was that Sykes let go of him
self and swore fluently, Mind stepped
out for few minutes and matter re-
asserted itself. II was an awful fall !
But 1t taught Sykes lesson.
He sees now that he can do moth
ing with the mind-oyer-matter theory
unless he leads Mrs. Sykes along the
same path, and 1t is hard TO argue with
her when her stomach is not working
right. She Often comes to breakfast
feeling that she could bite a spike In
two If she had It; and then Sykes
springs his mechanical smile and ribs
himself of some persinage, and IL there
is anything handy she throws It at him.
Sykes is now intriguing craftily to
get her on q bread-and-milk diet and
slip In a few enasceal tablets, feeling
that she wiz nave one Of the sumlest
dispositions In the world when her
stomach is right. SO the happiness Of
the Sykes family Is tied up to the pos
sibilities of bread and milk and char
coal tablets.
Upon such trifies as these hang the
happiness and content Of whole m.
tons.

china.s Deposed Editor.

When, in 1912, that old monarchy
China was transformed into repub-
lie, the title as well as the life of
the little emperor was retained by the
royal prisoner. With the end of EN-
pire, what was known as republican
ism" took possession Of the state and
trickled down into the little kingdom
Of Siam, directly beneath. Now, In
Slams capital, Bangkok, there is one
Chinese TO four Siamese, and to them
II seemed that what was good for big
China would adequately suffice for the
needs of little Siam. But the agita-
tors had counted upon neither the king
nor his 100000 lovers, and the re-
publican breeze died out over night.
Siam, possibly, is the isolated ex-
ample in history where, In time Of
disturbance and strife, the people have
followed and not led. 1t has been a
land of leaders and not a realm Of
revolutionists. The giants Of the king
dom were not Of the street, but set
on thrones.

Preserving Forest Of Marmora.

Two Englishwomen, Oxford forestry
students, pay a tribute to the work
done by the French in the protectorate
of Morocco during the last nine years.
The very valuable forests of Mar
mora, which is the largest and most
productive known forest of cork oak,
has been surveyed, divided into COM
partments, they report, and fire-breaks
have been made In 1t. which are used
as motor roads, the first roads In the
Irotectorate. Destruction Of the for
ests by natives fighting for posses
sion, by fires, and by indiscrlmincte
charcoal burning has been stopped.
Gangs of native charcoal burners have
been organized under French forest
ers, and native opposition concillated
by monthly grants of charcoal.
In the Mogador and Agadir district,
the forests of Argan, trees resem-
bling the olive and bearing a similar
fruit, yielding Oil, were suffering from
inroads of sand. These have been
stopped by plantations of tamarlsk
and Aleppo pine. In the treeless dis
tricts trees have been planted in and
near the towns for ornament and
shade. These included eucalyptus, null
berry, plane, Aleppo pine and young
poplars.
