Aspasia was not a form of mental alteration as the name enormously might indicate. but Grecian pippin.
 She was the belle of the wax-works in a small town of ancient Greece, ancient about 120 years B. c. This was in the day before Persia had be- come celebrated principally for rugs, and before Alexander the Great had had chance to push Greece into the limelight. Darius II was King of Persia, and his son, called Cyrus the Younger. was his favorite child. Ar /, taxerxes was the eldest. but the heir only apparently.
 King Darius sent some merchants out into Greece to buy a herd of silk worms. or whatever you call them when they get in a crowd; and young Cy begged his dad to have the pros pectors look up some new raw ma terial for his harem It was consid- cred quite chic and elegant in those days to have Grecian maids for harem ladies' No matter what people said about patronizing home industries, those Grecians dolls held their looks longer than Persian gods.
 Aspasia's real name was Milto, but to keep such a cognomen would have been just as bad as movie actress nowadays calling herself by her real name or f1anndn ItdnklnS. W ell, AS pasia, who was noted for being all broke out with good looks. was honored with an invitation to leave her fathers house and anex herself to the matrimonial payroll of Cyrus Price of Persia. Instead of being vastly flattered by the invite, Aspasia pouted. Old Hermototus, her father had reared her in the quite secausion of his back yard. and the only mani festation of love that Aspasia had ever encountered were the nocturnal walls of feline emotion that rent the air in the vicinity of the back fence at night
 OFF TO WICKED CITY
 But they told Aspasia gently but hard -facedly that she was going tc Susa. SusS was as bad as New York used to be-had light wines and beer wild women, pool rooms-everythins 2 but automats and Fifth Avenue busses Aspasia felt that she was going straight to the capital of Iniquity Along with several other successful candidates in the beauty contest, sh' was conducted into the city where thf mighty Darius and his sporty son held sway.

DisraeIi's Stantesmanship

Wilbur c. Abbott, in the Yale Review. Just forty years ago an English his torian drawing his narrative of mod ern Europe to a close with an account , of the peace of Berlin, observed, "Should the, Balkans become true military frontier for Turkey, should northern Bulgaria sink to the condi- | tion of a Russian dependency and eastern Roumelia, in severance from | it's enslaved kin, abandon itself to | thriving ease behind the garrisons Of 1 the reforming Ottoman, Lord Beacons- field> will have deserved the fame of | a statesman whose munitions, un- dimmed by the mists of experience, 1 penetrated the secret of the future, and shaped, because they discerned' | the destiny of nations" Upon this,
 viewing the world today, no com ment seems necessary It may be that
 this is mere accident, that, as his ad- mirers say his influence and reputa- tion are greater now than ever; il
 may be that this spirit which con luuered obscurity may prevail against | oblivion But if the same fortune fol-
 lows his other views and policies we
 must believe that he was but meteor not a star.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Heads" he 8;
(To be continued.)
By j. Z. Jones

BY j. E. Jones
Thousands of workmen engaged in
the making of mems clothing have
been thrown out of employment dur
ing the month. At the same time
advertising pages of the metropolitan
newspapers are carrying bold an
nouncements of reduction in prices of
these goods, that show very clearly
that the country has been over
stocked. The big shoe factories of
the country have been making reduc-
tions in their crews, and at the same
time metropolitan shoe dealers are
grudgingly lowering their profiteer-
ing prices. The munition towns,
which include Bridgeport, Hopewell, I,
and lesser points have been hit hard
by industrial conditions, and many of
the places are already in the class of
deserted villages"
For several years people have been
deserting the farms, evidently pre-
ferring industrial occupations which
permitted them to live in the large
cities, closer to the movies and the
white lights. With Europe at war
there was plenty to do for everybody,
and when the United States got into
the mess the greatest accession to
the industrial ranks still found a
shortage of labor. All of this indus
trial activity has born its fruits, and
it is not strange that it has been
found that there are too many guns
and revolvers around Bridgeport, too
many ships at Hog Island. and more
powder than is needed at Whining
ton. At the same time Detroit seems
to be catching up with herself in the
manufacture of benzine buggies. The
strike in the steel industry last Fall
caused the wage-workers of the
country to blacklist the steel trust.
The result has been an under pro-
duction in this field.
The inventory discloses the un-
mistakable fact that in large nuR.-
ber of industries that have been con-
sidered in the "first class" by wage
workers that production has caught
up with herself and that there is al
ready a surplus of labor. In some
other fields of employment in the in
dustrial line, where the work has not
been so alluring, or the hours as
short, or the pay SIS big, the day of
the over-supply of labor has not yet
arrived, although it is noticeable that
these institutions are catching up
with their orders.
Still, there is work for everybody
to do. The farms Of the country are
