LIARS
By DR.. Frank Crane

Dy LII, IIdIlk OIdll6
There is no luxury like telling the truth
Once you get the taste for it nothing else
can satisfy.
Truth is clean, like the sound, white flesh
of ripe apple; like the taste of pure clear
water gushing out of a spring; like the fresh
green of wheat field in spring; like the feel
of velvet; like your white skin after a
bath and rundown; like the clear eye Of a
happy girl; like everything that is unspotted
and wholesome.
Lies are dirt.
Just as there is something wrong about a
man that loves to wear unbrushed clothes
and have unkempt hair and grimy hands and
mournful fngernails and shoes unshined,
when his duty and business do not imply such
, things, and when he seeks slovenliness from
preference; so there is something perverted
and repulsive about any human being that
takes pleasure in twisting the truth to make
trouble or avoid due consequences.
Of all things to teach children none is COM
parable in Importance to the habit of truth.
For no other one thing can follow and
plague you SO much as a lie.
Whoever lies puts himself against the uni
verse. Every stick and stone is Ieagued
against him. His lie waits for him like a
robber at unexpected corners, turks behind
doors, hides like poison in his dish, and
steals as cankering worm into any rose he
plucks.
lie sometimes follows its maker for years.
to leap on him and strangle him in the very
hour of his success.
The lie is a combination of everything that
is ignoble; it is the concentrated essence of
cowardice, treachery, and selfshness.
You don't have to talk, but if you do talk
tell the truth and shame the devil.
Lies are they that undermine your health
debilitate your mind, and rot your soul
II you long for crime, why, burn a hay-rick,
carry away gate, commit arson, mayhem or
burglary, but don't lie. That's at the bottom
of the list
We would prefer pro-Germans or Reds,
proiteers or anonymous letter writer's, to
liars.
IN the language of the Epic of Old Bill
smith in that passage where he fires the
Office Boy for lying: against thieves, rob-
bers pirates, and the ilk we have defense,
bolts, locks bars and pistols, but against liars
we have no defense. Villain, thou art a base
and causeless prevaricator. Get thy pay and
beat it!
But what If one hates to lie. VET dare not
tell the truth?
Well one might try keeping still

The Adr1atic Issue 14gain.
. BSCURED though it has been of late
by issues nearer home, the Adriatic


by issues. nearer home, the Adriatc
problem has lost none of it's essen
tial interest and certainly none of its i'm
portance. Unsettled unjustly settled, it
would continue a menace to EurOpe's peace,
if not indeed to that of the world Peculiar
ly welcome, then, is the word from Paris
that the basis of agreement proposed by
the French and British Premiers has proved
acceptable both to the italian and to the
Jugo-Slavic dipIOmatists.
There are details yet to be adjusted it
seems; but the broad lines for a compact are
pretty well mapped out and are encourag-
ingly received by the parties 10 the dispute.
Notable among the reported terms is Italy =
consent to withdraw certain claims i'll Dali
malta, which hitherto she has pressed, and
Jugo-SIavia's consent to italian dominance Of
Fiume and the region about. On this lat
ter point Italy has stood firm although it
nal contract with the Allies as set forth in
the Treaty Of London. Her claims in Dali
malta on the other hand, were expressly
recognized N that Treaty. 1t thus ap-
pears that she has conceded right to gain
a privilege. Fiume and the country it com
mands will be worth, no doubt, much more
than Dalmatia for the strategic purposes
which Italy has in mind; and at the same
time Jugo-Slavia can better afford to yield
on this point than 70 jeopardize the entire
settlement
It is to be hoped that the progress so far
made toward composing the differences of
these Adriatic neighbors will continue under
the harmonizing influence OF the League of
Nations and will eliminate in a happy and
durable understanding.

North American Rose
Grows to Edge of Mexico
Habitat Is Bounded, Roughly
Speaking, by 10Th and
-0fh Parallels

The habitat of the rose is bounded
north and south, roughly speaking, by
the goth and 10th parallels. 1t grows
wild all over Europe, in Africa as low
as Abyssinia. in Asia to and through
India. and in North America to the
edge of Mexico.
Most wild roses are single, yet Pliny
mentions double ones-among them
the hundre d-leaf-and Herodotus says:
Macedonia has gardens of Midas, with
roses OF sixty petals breathing out a
delightful perfume" Whoever has
read Roman history must recall the
roses of Paestum, which bloomed twice
a year Nowiths standing this, Rome's
favorite rose was the hundred leaf.
1t followed the eagles and the legions
wherever they went, and grows to-
day over three parts of the Roman
occupation.
Etymologically, "rose" is from the
Celtic rhodd or rhudd "red," also the
root of "ruddy." The Greek name
rhodon, has the same meaning So
have most rose names, in any language
Botanically, the flower gives name to
the great natural order rosaceae. Ar
tifcially. it is classed under polygonia
the many angled. The wild forms
have always feshy, urn, or pitch
shaped calyxes. twenty or more sta
mems, five petals. and five sepals The
sepals show a bit Of natures most cum
ming work. Two Of them are bearded
at both edges, two without boards. and
the fifth bearded at one edge and
straight along the other Thus they

35,32O,OOO Is Europe's
Population Loss by War
Danish Society Calculates Actual
and Potential Casualties for
Ten Countries

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--Due to
war influences, ten European nations
engaged in the World War show a po-
tential loss in population of $500 900
persons since 1914, according to sta
tistcal research conducted by the So
clety for Studying the Social Conse-
quences of the War, of Copenhagen,
made public to-day by the American Red
Cross.
At the end of 1913, the society re-
ports, these nations had a population
of 4OC,850,000, and under normal con-
ditions this population should have in
creased by the middle of 1919 to 424,-
10000. However, it had fallen by that
time to 389,03O,0 900, which led to the
conclusion by Danish statistical experts
that the loss of actual and potential
human life in these nations approx
mated forty millions.
Causes of the abnormal falling off in
population were attributed in the So
ciety's report as follows: Killed in war,
9,819000; deaths due to augmentation
of mortality, economic blockades, war
epidemcs, 5,3o1 900; fall in birth rate
due to mobilization of $4,000, 900 men

Electrical Contractor, After p
Years in Business Joins
On Anain

Edward Marion Crawford electrical
engineer and contractor who has made
a fortune in twenty-five years in bust
ness, has enlisted in the United States
Navy to serve as first class cleo
trlcian aboard the battleship St. Louis.
Crawford was sworn in by Lieuten-
ant Commander c. Gulbranson, the re-
crriting officer in Philadelphia
Behind the enlistment is one of the
most remarkable stories that has come
to the attention Of recruiting authori-
ties. For Crawford is "reenlist-
ment-' He went back into the navy for
sentimental reasons. He has made a
success in business life and now he is
enjoying himself" in the great mari
time organization which gave him his
first training in his chosen field
Crawford's history would lead one
to infer that he was a gray haired old
man, so many things has he done in the
last couple of decades. Indeed, he is
but forty-four. and passed the medical
examination as easily es when a boy
He is veteran of the Spanish
American War, and has the distinction
of being the man who proposed the
electrical apparatus which sank the
Merrimac in Santiago harbor.
The st. Louis, in which Crawford
will go to sea AGAIN. is the most mod
ern of fighting craft. Fo enlisted in
another st. Louis, fine and speedy
cruiser of her day, but now no more
than a memory
1t was in 1890 that Crawford Coined

time. He was received at League
Island and rated as an apprentice,
third class.
During the Spanish American War
he received over S1.10O in prize money.
He was paid off August !, 1898, as a
gunner's mate. second class.
The electrical training he had re-
ceved in the navy gave him the foun-

Rose cultures beginning goes back
beyond records. The flower is men
toned in the earliest Coptic manu-
scripts. India's traditions take the
rose to the times of the gods on
earth. Egypt had roses. wild and
tame, before the Roman occupation
made it, in way, Rome's commercial
rose garden; yet, curiously enough,
there is no reference to -he flower
Japan, in our time, parallels Egypt.
Roses flourish there, but do not serve
as motif for artists. Damascus lies
int he heart Of Syria, whose name some
geographers derive from seri, meaning
a wild rose, and wild roses are abund-
ant there. The damask roses of our
gardens go back to Damascus. They
were brought from it at the time of
the crusades although exactly when,
or by whom, nobody can certainly say.
