HONEST EXPLANATIONS

i the cute little cornedienne, threw the cus- tard pie at her grandmother or her hance and if she did whether or not she was 1 justified All that mental turmoil might have been avoided if in few well chosen words the management had flashed the facts on the screen. When you've got a good story, why be a tightwad and make l a mystery of it? Why evade?"
 Huh p said Eggston. Suppose that manager had done as you suggest and published to the world the simple truth-- do you think the public would have been | satisfied? Noi Why, can tell you Of an | incident in my own life when l tried being simple and direct-I sold horse to l man and explained that the animal was given to kicking on all occasions. but ne seemed only more eager to make the purs chase. After the horse had kicked him 1 into five separate pieces and he had been patched together and had time to think it over, he was tremendously indignant and wanted to sue me for my whole fortune, admitting that he had been warned but he said he didn't believe me, of course He thought what I really meant was that it was a valuable horse and I didn't want him to buy it at that low price which had inadvertently mentioned. By being l honest and direct you get into all sorts of 1 trouble p
 You are right" Gribble backed him LID. Suppose when a mans wife asked him whether she didn't look hagaard and | wrinkled and pale he said year, my dear, you do-than which no reply could be simpler-instead of paying her a cornpli-
 ment, what do you suppose would evolve I from that situation? ?'
 q am talking about men, not sheer lunafics" insisted AiisDice, and I shall always feel indignant because l had to work so hard finding out what really was the trouble tonight at my favorite
 movie house1 But agree that one must use discretion. I told my wife once

IN THE DAYS NEWS
ADRIANoPLE, A WEATHER
 VANE OF EMPIRES

"Entry of Greek troops into Adrian
 ople is an event in secular history fair ly comparable to the investiture Of Jer-
 usalem by Allenby's army, for this
 Turkish city has for nearly 1000 years been weather vane of world politics,
 says a bulletin from the Washington, D. c. headquarters of the National Geographic Society.
 "The rebuilding of the ancient Thra- clan town by Hadrian. who gave it his name, signalized high point in the power of the Roman empire. The de- cline of Rome was foreshadowed some two centuries later when the Goths de- feated Valens there, and made their first break through the Roman from tier.
 Next Adrianople was the setting l@for the Turks advent into Europe.
 There Murad I, established himself, planned the capture of Constantinople,
 and sent out expeditions to subdue va-
 rious Christian peoples. For a time the European capital of the Sultans, Adrianoplpe was relegated to be the
 chief bulwark of Constantinople. There Turk first met Slav. and there the Rus siansf finally forced their way to the
 Black sea by treaty which also loos-
 ened the Turkish hold on the Caucasus
 and compelled recognition of the in
 dependence of Greece.
 "Adrianople is on the Maritza, He-
 bSus of Grecian legend. where Orphe-
 us'w was dismembered by the Thraeian
 women, also celebrated, under it's later
 name, in Bulgarian song and story. It
 is 137 miles by rail northwest of Con- stantinople.
 Today the city wears it's past glory
 with sort of shabby gentiiity, with no rretension of prosperity but less squalor than the usual Turkish city.
 Tt posses the grave of the first Mu- rad, or Anaurath, who was assassinated in his tent after he had vanduished an
 army of Christian allies on the field of KossoVo.
 "A mosque bearing the name of sui-
 tan Baiezid recalls that monarch, whose first official act was to order the execution of his brother, who was the first Ottoman ruler to call himself SuI- tan, whose eonquests finally were checked when he was taken prisoner by TamerIane.

 That wouldn't have answered at ail," insisted Eggston People like excite- rneht and mystery. Having once seen the manager in a brand new suit and the latest tie, spraying the aisles, every body will flock to that movie nightly in the hopes of seeing him swinging from the ceiling, head down, from trapeze or being otherwise eccentric.

coon THE ro rnAcrrcE 1r.

It IS quite proper that there should be new interest given to the fact that this country is having it's population in creased at the rate of about 5000 a day from immigration. This marks q de- cided change from conditions which have prevailed for several years and it does not appear that the present high tide is going to De temporary. From all indications there promises to be just as many aliens landed on our shores as the laws will permit and the steamships can carry. Manifestations of a desire to come to this country for the beneats are to be derived, even if the intention is to remain only until a needed pile can be accumulated. On the part of some this is the entire purpose of their coming to this country. They intend to return just as soon as possible, and will do so. oth- srs who come with such an idea may be sufficiently well impressed to remain while there will be a certain percentage who will come with the idea of making this their permanent home
 With this revival of immigration It is pertinent that there should be the right sort of steps taken not only to give ~--NN~ HNNF4~ o-a NlC doNdhlo6Cn put 10 see that they are made to understand the chances for employment that are open, that they are encouraged to dis tribute themselves throughout the coun- try and that they are instructed in re- gard to our institutions and customs, our laws and our government. This of course will follow the application of the law for the distinction between the de- sirahlss and the undesirables insofar as the regulations make that possible.
 Much was said not so many months ago about Americanism and the instrue. ton of the alien. With the great in- crease in the number coming the oppor- unity to put that into operation would appear to be at hand. Certainly there should De no time lost as there has been in too many instances, in impressing up- on the newcomers the importance of good citizenship, the advisability of be- ing naturahzed and the need of being able to read and write the English lan- guage. We need to treat these people not with the belief that they are going hack but with the idea that they are go- ing to stay. We have talked American An; now let's practice it.
