Ending Dublin by Troops"
A railway strike is now regarded as
inevitable. Most of the Irish COM
panies hitherto have turned blind eye
to the refusals of the men to handle
munitions trains and thereby avoid a
strike, but Premier Lloyd Georges
attitude makes it plain the govern
ment will press the companies TO
accept munitions traffic and as the
men outside Ulster will not handle
munitions and troop trains, a conflict
is looked for.
An official statement issued at Dub
I'm Castle says that a train was
stopped at Cloughj jordan, owing to the
railway workers refusing to continue
with armed policemen aboard. 1t is
oeiieved the government intends to
make TINS a test case to determine
Its action toward striking railwaymen.
The driver Of the train held up at
CloughJ jordan has been summoned to
Dublin and the expectation is that this
action will lead to trouble.

Gabln was fitting up the first floor at

apartment, as large dance hall and
cabaret. The walls are gaudv with
paintings of great ships at sea and
mountain castles. Spanish dancers with
caStanets were to charm Cabins coun-
trymcn.
The character of his new apartment
Of seven rooms is out of keeping with
the nelghborhood. Heavy mahogany
furniture crowds it, thick rugs cover
the floor. Japanese lamps and all sorts
OF expensive fittings are to be found
In bureau drawer police discovered
expensive lingerie, with linen of fine
quality and receipt for a pair of
shoes from an exclusive shop, costing
$2O.6O. Mrs. Cabins bedroom suite is
finished in ivory.
Heard Loud Reports
Mrs. Martinez, living on the floor
above, says she heard two loud re-
ports in the night which she took to
be the samming Of a door. One might
have been when Cabins murderer de-
parted, the other when he fired the
shot.

The point system of type 1nea-
surenent is an American inno-
vation. An inch is divided into
72 parts. A point is equivalent
to one seventy-second offan inch.
thus eight-point type is eight
seventy-seconds or one ninth of an
inch in height. Thus, nine lines of
eight point solid will measure one
inch. What was formerly called
plca IS now twelve point. 1t is
twelve seventy-second soronesixth
OF an inch high. SIX lines of

will therefore measure one inch,
Eighteen point is eighteen seventy
seconds or onc-fourth Of an inch
IN height; four lines set solid
will measure one inch.
This knowledge should be verv
useful in ascertaining the size of
type from given specimen.

A RIOT OF REsTLEssNEss

We Americans in common with other people, are living in a rest less age.
 Before the World War all Eu- rope slept on a volcano, dreading the day when the thunders of eruption would be heard. That eruption came almost in the twinkl- ing of an eye, bathed two countries in the blood of millions of men, drove kings and emperOrs from their thrones, reduced aristocTats from affluence to poverty, turned the world topsy-turvy, and made civilization mockery and byword.
 Released from the privitations entailed by war, instead of sober ing humanity, seems ito have turned its head. Profiteers are legion and profiteers are'~slegion- and @profli- gate spenders are even more nu- merous. Prodigality has swept us into a. sea of uncertainty and con lecture from which not Eeven the wisest, ones can tell how or when we-will emerge.
 We are up in the air, knowing not which way to turn, or whether to turn or stand still, forge ahead or mark time.
 It is condition calculated to produce even the most .aggravating for of restlessness in people ac- customed from our carly days to a sane and simple existence.

SOME LEGAL POINTS

A fee in the hand is worth two in the book.
 Lawyers motto: "A lie in time saves nine."
 A woman and her maid can outlie two lawyers.
 Thirty thousand cubic feet of air weighs roughly one ton.
 Don't take the will for the deed; make sure of the deed.
 The lawyers toast: Here's to the man who makes his own will"
 bad settlement out of court Is fire quently better than good settlement in 1t.
 Marriage may be failure; but all divorce lawyers are agreed that 1t Is . huge success.
 Life is long trial; and, whether convicted or acquitted, we are robbed of everything at the end.
 Love knows no law. It is only when love has been pushed out that law comes sneaking around trying to get in.
 The woman who has subjected her husband to her will during his life may find herself sadly subjected to his will at his death
 The law has no hand in the greatest punishment of all-that of having to live for life with the person whose heart you have stolen.
 A law suit may be described gen. orally as the transference of clothes from the backs of the litigants to those of their legal advisers.
 If friend loses all he had, and the lawyers tax him for years to come in order to get their fees, why not try him with this thoughtful bit of sym pathy: "Remember-we all have our little troubles"

It is possible that when we pass on to our ultimate rewards our children may inherit better world that the one in which we are living today. The experiences through which we are passing may imbue us with knowledge and furnish us with the wisdom to apply it for the good of posterity.

A time will come when we as a people will emerge from our pres ent condition of indifference to consequences. It may be year, or two, or five, or more, and great changes may take place before we are again a normally moving peo- pie. But we Americans are not a class to be kept forever keyed up in- a turmoil of excitement. In some way or other we will find our level and resume the whole some existence we enjoyed before the world was set ablaze by the fires of war. It is a hope which bouys us up and reconciles. us to the idiosyncracies of a people appar- ently gone mad in the game of life.

LODGE

What Henry Cabot Lodge thinks of it, viewing all that ghastly com bat of mountebanks in ironical re- trospect, would make an interesting story-perhaps the most interesting about the convention that could be told, or even imagined. He presid- ed over the sessions from sort of aloof intellectual balcony, far above the swarming and bawling of in the flesh, but his soul was in the common herd. He was there some remote and esoteric Cathay Perhaps even the presence of the flesh was no more than an optical delusion, mirage due to the heat? At moments when the whole infer nal hall seemed bathed in steam produced by frying delegates and alternates alive, he was as cool as an undertaken at a hanging. He did not sweat like the general. He did not puff. He did not fume. If he put on fresh collar every morn ing it was mere habit and fopishness "a sentimental concession to the Harvard tradition. He might have worn the same one all week.
 It was delightful to observe the sardonic glitter in his eye, his oc- casional ill-concealed snort, his gen. eral air of detachment from the business before him. For awhile .le would watch the show idly, let ting it get more and more passon- ate, vociferous and preposterous, Then, as if suddenly awakened, he would stalk into it with his club and knock it into decorum in half 8 minute. I call the thing a club; il was certainly nothing properly de. scriable as a gavel. The head oi it was simply large globe of hard wood, as big as an ordinary canal. oupe. The handle was perhaps two feet long. The weight of it cant estimate. It must have been light else so frail man would have found it too much for him. But it made a noise like the breaking in of s door, and before that crash whols delegations went down.

A superior fellow. Even so. But superior enough to disdain even the presidency, so fought for by fugi- tives from the sewers? l rather doubt it.. My guess is that the gaudy glamour of the White House has intrigued even Henry Cabot that he would leap for the bauble with the best of them if were not clearly beyond his reach. The blind rage reflected from the brazen front of Roosevelt, bathed him for a while; he had his day on the steps of the throne, and I suspect that he was not insensitive to the thrill of it. On what other theory can one account for his sober acceptance of the whole Roosevelt hocus-pocus save on this theory of bedazzlement? :?

 as Lodge thinks secretly of the democracy he professes to cherish. It must interest him enormously at all events, as spectacle, else he would not waste his time upon it. He might have given over his days to the writing of bad history--and avocation both amusing and re- spectacle, with a safe eminence as it's fine reward. He might have gone in for diplomacy and drnnk out. of the same jugs with kings. He might have set up general practice as Boston intellectual, groaning and shifting an easy way through life in the lofty style of the Adams brC9hers.

 We'll, what reward has it brought him? At 73 he is boss in the senate holding domination over a herd of miscellaneous mediocrities by loose and precarious tenure. He has power, but men who are far beneath him have more power. At the great quadrennial pow-wow of his party he plays the part of a bellwether and chief of police. Led by him the rabble complains bitter ly of lack of leadership. And when lthe glittering prize is fought for, he is shouldered aside to make way for gladiator so bogus and so preposterous that the very thought of him must reduce a scion of the Cabots to sour and sickly mirth.
