 down to two short sentences by Fer d1nand Foch of France, who may be counted success in his generation
 Members of the American Legion party who had the marshal on a tour of the United States asked him to leave message for the young men of America The general compiled during one of the long railroad jour neys en route through the west
 The original of what Foch termed
 the Past to the Future, in a few national headquarters here. He who hesitates is lost. He who moves forward wins" sums up Foch's formula for success He continues: 'The way not to move forward is by adopting the method of the bore, who ruthlessly pushes others aside that he may reach the front of the crowd; the self-seeker, who tries to impress on everyone that he is en- titled to what he is not; the nervous arrogant man who cannot wait, who feels that if he does not reach the front at once the world is lost for him.
 ''The way to move forward is by patience, by earnest endeavor. by dfli- gent study, by tireless work. Plan your battle of life in advance. Map out every detail of what you want to accomplish and then follow out your | programme. No man who has been
 
 1 lucky. His success has been due to l his own effort. Success is work. and work is sue cess. The two are inseparabIe'' As motto, Marshal Foch recom- mends his own, a quotation from Ra- cine:
 T fear God. and have no other fear"
 A recent box story. appearing in l leading journals asks the question. l When is g. girl old enough to smoke?, as the result of a question which | has obtruded into the studious at mosphere of Columbia. Barnard has nothing to say about the use of the weed, but the undergrads are prohi- bited from offering sacrifice to the Goddess Nicotine. The question then, becomes serious to the youngsters, who not only want to do it, but want | the license for it. Here and there, there are found | women who excuse their habit for a l smoke, and men can give no real 1 objection to meet their claims. since 1 it is no more than a matter of per | sonal privilege, but when the young girls in college want to smoke and do it with the permission of the au- l thorities, it is certainly worthy of the 1 punishment they deserved - suspen- | sion.
 Eugene V. Debs. the Socialist leader, was given the lighted lantern ! 1 Urbain Ledoux, who once sold la l bor on an auction block on Boston Common and later Dfcketed the "con- | sciences" of the arms conference | delegates here, made the presenta- | ton.
 Ledoux called upon Debs at the
 latter's hotel, carrying a lighted lam | tern and a copy of the Sermon on i the Mount. He presented the copy | of the sermon to Debs and made a
 speech in which he nkened the force 1 of the Socialist leader to the force | which moved mountains. ] Like Diogenes, he said. he had l been carrying the lantern in search
 of an honest man, But since I have
 met you," Ledoux said, "I have no | further use for it.'
 Debs accepted the lantern with
 thanks, but declared himself un- | worthy of it.
 Greenwich Village has taken to
 waffles. Everywhere you go nowadays in in the village you % see SC waffle e signs ii in village Is concerned, have become the great American indoor sport. Its the newest thing in the tea tor of the Come-And-Get-It to the owner of the Crevice- In The Side | walk.
 Yes, If you call tea time all day" replied Jake of the Crevice. Most
 of my waffle trade comes in the evening. After the village folks have been to the movies, and the sight seers from uptown have gone back, the gang usually drops in for a chat. And whatever else they have they must have wafles. 'HThe fad got started a couple of months ago at a studio party attend
 ed by most of the high lights of the l village. The hostess had a new cleo | tric waffle iron, and wanted to show l off her culinary skill, so they let her.

 has grown by leaps and bounds. and
 Bill of the Pie-Faced Horse tells me
 het IS doing a good waffle business
 for breakfast.''
 Now brothers if there's anything I
 And anything that really gets me
 It's authors who to make their work | seem great,
 sometimes more.
 Now plain John Smith is good enough for me,
 And Mary Browns a corking name
 dnstead of that John Blowsey Smith
 While Mary Measles Brown Just makes me yell.
 Now Charles was all the name that l Dickens had,
 1 And even Shakespeare got along II with Will.
 Fen Tennyson with Alfred made us glad.
 And whitman with his Walt was shorter still.
 Now why should authors really cut up so,
 And bother us with names that knock us flat.
 When we'd remember them as well | you know, With two good names and let 1t gc at that, EDWARD BOTHWELII BRINSLEY MNAMEzE.
