DUBLIN, April 9.-Arthur Grit

them possessed of uniforms, to con-

He predicted that Sim Fein's
fight would prove victorious during
this generation.

He suggested that ireland would
receive greater support from America
after the forthcoming Presidential
elections and went to far as to declare
that he had had assurances or this

Questioned closely as TO the method
whereby Sim Fein hopes TO realize
her aims eventually, Griniths re-
vealed that he IL depending largely
on outside factors.
Irish Everywhere To Aid.
"The Irish" he said ARE now a
world people. In America. Austria

will refuse to stand by and sec their
countrymen exterminated. Besides.
we look 10 America for materially
greater support of our course after
the elections over there. In fact,
have assurances that this Will be
forthcoming at that time
In this connection Griffiths admit
ted that any policy of force by Sim
Fein against England would be, taken
by itself insufficient to gain the ends
sought. He declared that ne did not
see even IA possible basis for settle
ment of the issue in the present home
rule bf1l In other words, he said, the
situation today is in a status quo, so
far as Sim Fein is concerned.
Regarding the Easter week arson
fete Griffiths declared that they must
be regarded strictly In the light of
military acts. He asserted that the
barracks burned were simply block
houses OF hostile army OF occupa-
tion." n
AS TO the military preparedness of
Sim Fein, he admitted that Lord
French's estimate that the Sinn Fein
army numbered 100, 900 men was con-
servative."
Equipped as these forces are with
arms" he said, lit may be under

irresponsible Idyls
BY LEE KINGSTON.

, When great Queen Catherine ruled
the Russ she swayed her realm
with iron hand; what mujik started
up a fuss, said mujik thereupon
was canned. Though independence
was her forte. still Fashion had
her on the skids; her ruling pas
sion was to sport the latest scenery
and lids. Now custom called for
towering hair, and, while she was a
mighty queen, in this the lady wasn't
there, but scanty tresses decked her
bean. She called a coiffure making
male and bade him build a wig of
art, then SO he couldn't spill the
tale, she wouldn't let the man de.
part. Nay, though that barber
boiled with rage and flooded all the
floors with tears, she put him in
an iron cage and kept him there for
seven years. Then, having none
with whom to speak, of course the
barber up and died: the queen for
got him in week and wore her
phoney locks with pride. oh, would
that in our laws today we'd take
a lesson from old time. and find a
practicable way to make the sea-
tence fit the crime! The barber
shop enter in, note the price list
there with rage; wish I were
Queen Catherine. wish I had her
iron cage.

Men and Business
By RICHARD sPILLANE.

The Magazine of Wall Street
prints the worst slam on the New
York Telephone Company that has
appeared in print thus far.
II SAYS a financial writer called
for $3.50 Hanover.
There was lot of buzzing and
a long delay.
Finally, the operator. said: Lines
been disconnected. Number hasn't
paid his bills for six months"
$50 Hanover is ]. p. Morgan &
Company.
One of the marvels of 'all times
has been the fact that, slthoush
man has been busy all through the
ages killing off the male members
of the human family, the propor-
ton of males as to femals some-
how is pretty well maintained.
After the thirty years war 1t was
supposed Europe's recovery would
be impossible almost, because SO
many men were killed on. After
the Napoleonic wars pessimists
held the same theory. After all
great periods of slaughter there
have been similar wailings. But
nature somehow adjusts the ball
ance.
Students of such subjects declare
that after wars the proportion or
male children born is much greater
than of females. This cannot be
supported by statistics, because
there were no vital statistics that
were reliable until comparatively
recent time. The absence OF sta
tistics, however, is not disproof. The
fact that the male has come back"
after every great world tragedy
lends color of probability to the
theory of nature repairing the in
juries to a single person. There
never was repair shop comparable
to that with which nature has
equipped. each and every member
of the human family.
So far as the scant reports of the
parliamentary debate received by
cable indicate, only the labor men,
bers criticized the governments
plan. One of these considered the
scheme unwise, as IL would take
from England a large number of
the strong, sturdy women upon
whom Britain must depend for the
mathematics Of the race.
Tom Myers, a Labor member, also
pointed out that. the reports of the
army medical boards, showed that
only SO per cent of the men exam
ined for military service were nor
nally fit. To send the best of the
women of England out of the coun-
try in face of this fact, he said, was
bad policy.

Folks and Things
Around Washington
Labert St. Clair.

Representative Jack Garner, of
Texas, and Representative Lee Of
Georgia, were stamping their way
across some tender young grass in
the Capitol lawn when an enterpr1s-
ing policeman, wildly waving his
club. dashed up to them.
Get OFF that grass, or I'll arrest
YOU. he threatened.
Say. young feller," Garner asked,
who's your boss?"
The chief at the Capitol" the
policeman returned.
We'll, Garner continued you
tell him that you threatened to ar
rest Jack Garner. of Texas, and you
couldn't get him to pay any atten-
ton to you"
The cop did as he was bid when
Garner had gone his way.
Years before Langley invented the
flying machine, a colored boy named
Sam Meadows, down in Mississippi,
perfected the art of human fight,
according to Representative Ben
humphreys, of Mississippi. Fur
thermore, according to Ben,
Meadows did the flying himself.
Meadows, it appears, was the
town gravedigger. and he took a lot
OF pride in his work. One day, how
ever, when the ground was frozen
and an extra long man died,
Meadows dug the grave about .
foot too short and a terrible time
was had in getting the corpse under
ground. Some folks wanted to fold
him ur at the knees, but the better
judgment of some of the citizens of
more artistic nature prevailed, and
Meadows heightened the grave.
Immediately the townsfolk began
to chide Sam about his mistake.
and. as great artist. he took the
kidding very much to heart. Even
tuslly. when someone suggested to
Sam that the indignant soul OF the
corpse probably would return to
haunt him, Sam turned exceedingly
pale.
A few nights later Humphreys
was leaving a bridge when he spied
Sam just coming on to the structure.
simultaneously Humphreys noticed
two pieces of unused water pipe
laying on the side of the bridge,
each piece reaching to about the
middle OF il. Humphreys, therefore.
sprang from his buggy, put his face
to one end OF piece of pipe. and
AS Meadows reached the middle Of
the bridge, yelled:
Sam Meadows, you dug my grave
too short"
OF course Sam went panicky, and
just as soon as he got his wits
about him he struck out at a lively
pace toward the other end of the
bridge. Immediately Humphreys
sped to the break in the pipe in
the middle of the bridge, and as
Meadows passed over the far end
Of the structure Humphreys shout
ed into the second joint of pipe:
Sam Meadows, you dug my grave
too shortr'
Then, as the words smote Sans
ears a second time, he invented fly
ing. And fly he did right over a
nearby hill, never to use the bridge
again.

THE SUCCESS HABIT
BY ROGER w. BABSON.

It Is estimated that about 90 per
cent of our activity is governed
by habit and instinct. Walking.
talking. eating. sleeping. working
almost every action is carried on
by the habits we have formed. At
least the way we do these things
is determined by our habits.
Since we are all bundles of habits,
our successes or failures are large
ly determined by our habits. Sue
cessful men are successful because
they have developed habits that
make for success. Failures are the
victims of their own failure habits
for once the habits are formed they
carry on without conscious effort
on your part. \ habit is like a
SNOWFALL, small in the beginning
but growing as it rolls on and on
down hill. You start it in gem
eral direction and it rolls on auto
matically.
1t is evident that this develop
ment of habit is of utmost import
ance-particularly in chiidren-for
everything you do today either
strengthens an old habit or starts
new one that is to determine
your success or failure in what
ever you undertake tomorrow.
Which are success habits? The
matter is simpler than it seems,
for when the whole thing is boiled
down II all depends on one habit
the one that governs the manner
In which you do things. 1t all de-
pends on whether you are in the
habit of doing things Just we'll
enough to get by" or whether you
are in the habit OF doing every
thing Just as well as you pos
sibly can, little better than
seems necessary"
1t makes no difference whether
You are 8 or 80, you can Insure
your future success by now de-
veloping good habits.
