The Boy Who Wants to
Quit School.

What are you going to say to him
that boy who wants to turn gutter
when his job of getting an education
Is only half done?
You may find just the convincing
argument you need in an article en-
titled Mark Tidd Says Something" in
the September number of The Amer
lean Boy. Mark Tidd, that fat, stuter-
ing, keen -witted leader among boys
who has won the friendship of every
boy who ever read Clarence B. KEEL
lands many stories about him, has a
number of arresting arguments that
he hurls at the fellows in his crowd
who want to quit school. Here are
some of them:
"studyin' don't make you smart"
said Binney
NO" returned Mark, "but bein'
smart makes you study"
Huh grunted PUNK.
you looky here, if you happened
to find an aeroplane in your yard,
what would you do2 Could you hop
in and start her and go for hy?"
mo"
"Just ike smartness. You find
smartness in your head, but you can't
make it work any more than you can
the aeroplane, till you learn how. You
own the smartness, just like you own
the aeroplane, but neither any good
till you've learned how to work EN-.
That's what schools are for. =
Schools don't just teach you multiple
cation tables and what's the capital of
Idaho. They're just kind of exercises
to work up your smartness so it'll
run smooth. Suppose you want to
learn to be fast runner. Well. You
have to learn how to get ready to
start, and how to start, and how to
throw up your knees, and how to
make your stride. You don't
learn all those different parts of run
ming just for the sake of learning
them-you learn them so you can run.
That's the way with school, you don't
learn all the different studies Just to
fill up your mind with stuff that may
be you don't care whether you know
or not, but they're the exercises to
make your smartness run, and the
more exercises you take the faster
it'll go.
TELL you how I look at
school It's this way A man can git
to Chicago by walIin'. But it's easier
and a lot pleasanter to take a train
You kin git to Chicago in a night by
train, and it would take you a couple
of weeks and a pair Of shoes to walk
there and you'd be darn tired and
disguested before you arrived. Going
to school is a train that gets you to
success in life the quickest and most
comfortable way. You buy yoFr ticket
with study. and the first thing you
know, you're there But If YOU
haven't got any sense you say it's
cheaper to walk, so you walk. You
can get there, but it takes ten times
as long, and it's dog gone disagree

ADVENTURES OF

"Oh, Hoi" cried Cap'n Pennywinkle,
when he saw the Twins returning with
the fish net. Il never was so glad to
see anyone in my life! Wen have to

only he's done so much damage al

door after the horse has run off. But
he ought to be punished and I know
of no better way than the fish net.
It's the only thing he's afraid of. Just
look at him lying there as snug and
bite-proof as a submarine. He isn't
afraid of the shark, or the sawfish or
anything under the water
Whether or not Tub heard this con-
versation, 1 cannot say, for he lay as
still as a pavement, not making the
least bit of a sign.
Very quickly and deftly the Twins
slipped the fish net under his edges
and, as they gave a pull on allfour
corners, up came Tub with a jerk He
was so surprised that he stuck out hi
head and tail and all four feet togeth-
err, struggling for dear life to get down
onto the sand again.

Dinner am served, Miss Lillian"
Betty was perfect as she stood just
inside the door, her coal black face
beaming beneath its crimson turban
her enormous body neatly gowned in
black dress and a white apron.
A Transformed Dining Room
I knew that Betty once had changed
her announcement to Dinner is
served" and that Lillian had implored
her never to do such a thing again.
Little Marion, filled with childish
Importance, had distributed tiny cards
giving us the names of our dinner
partners before she went upstairs to
bed in the care Of her old nurse. whom
Lillian had secured for the evening,
and we all smiled at the pretty, eager
picture the little thing had made as
she handed us our cards.
Lillian had arranged her table with
her usual skill. She herself of course,
had Robert Savarin as her dinner
partner, and she had asked Dicky to
take the place of the host, with Mrs.
Watrous at his right hand. Frank
Lester took in Mrs. Durkee; Kathe-
rine Sonnott fell to Alfred Durkee.
while just opposite them Jack and I
were stationed.
The seating arrangements, and in
fact everything else, however, were
forgotten. when we caught our first
glimpse of Lillian's dining room, which
had been carefully closed until Betty's
summons.
Until I saw it, had not known that
Lillian had had the room entirely re-
modelled She had evidently been
keeping it a surprise for her first din
ner against its new background.
The ceiling was beamed, the dark
floor polished oak, the walls wains-
coated in the same sombre wood.
Where Lillian had secured her work

wonderful reflectory effect that met

strips of tapestry like cloth with ex-
ouisite1y embroidered bands hanging
below the edges of the tables, that

cloth were also at the windows.
But Lillian's love of color was shown
in the profusion of crimson roses that
Haunted their glory from antique cop

But Bin would have no hesitation,
Nor let his conscience give him

He might have anything to gain.

But Dave win i.ide an ace while dealing

And thereby get the money. feeling
No touch Of guilt or twings Of shame.
John Gudgeon thinks that any wretch
Who beats a horse or kicks a dog
Should dangle where his neck would
stretch
Or must be in a mental fog.
But, free from any dark misgiving,
He robs his tenants and deprives
Their children OF the JOY OF living,
His profits squeezed from human
lives.
Al Sniggs would not, for any price,
Be crooked in a business deal,
And they. ne thinks. are stepped In

Who disregard the common veal,
His heart IS touched by children's cry

He helps the beggar on his way.
But he would not be slow in trying
TO coax his best friends wife away.

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
Why Lillian Underwood Invited Or

BY ADELE GARRlSOFl.

Why Lillian Underwood Invited DR..
Petit to the Dinner.
What was DR.. Petit doing here at
this dinner Lillian Underwood was
giving to Robert Savarin?
| This was the question that beat an
grily against my brain as mechani-
cally rose to greet the guests who had
come into Mrs. Underwocd's beautiful
white and crimson living room.
DR.. Petit had no possible connec-
ton with Robert Savarin or with the
world of art and he had not the close
lkinship and friendship which had guild
ed Lillian's invitations to my cousin,
Jack Beckett, and his fiancee, Kathe-
rine Sonnott And Lillian must have
known that he had been the underlying
cause Of more than one unpleasant
scene between my husband and myself
Why had she done it?
The answer to my question had to
wait, however, for in another instant
was engulfed in the general greet
ings which welcomed the new guests
and marked their presentation to Rob-
ert Savarin.
Mrs. Watrous, who, knew from
Lillian, had known Robert Savarin in
the old days, was soon deep in remin-
iscences with him, leaving the rest of
the guests to their own devices. Jack

a moment.

ago, but he was called out Of town at

What's the Matter With Us,
Anyway?
BY WALTER c. TEAGLE
resident Standard Oil Company

/
New Jersey.
I was a little surprised to learn
from your question that there is such
difference of opinion among author
Iities as to the real cause of unemplov-
ment and business depression.
Not being an authority on economic
conditions, perhaps I am wrong in
considering only the obvious reason
for the contraction suffered in nearly
every line Of trade.
I cannot call any financial wizardry
to my aid, nor coin any epigrams to
make the present business situation
appear the result of mysterious or
hidden causes.
To me it resolves itself into moth
ing more nor less than the GONZALES
cent stage following a period of finan-
cial and commercial excuses. There
may be any number of contributing
causes, but they are the kind Of trou-
bles that we always have with us, even
in times of greatest prosperity.
Cost of the War.
The lowest authoritative estimate
that have seen of the actual money
most of the war-that is, the direct
tangible loss outside Of the fearful toll
Of human lives-is 176 billion dollars.
I believe that eminent economists esti-
mated the direct and indirect cost to
date at more than 335 billions of dol
lars. A large part Of that represents
actual wealth forever destroyed.
With the world just emerging from
the greatest calamity in history, it
is not so remarkable that there has
been a period OF. all kinds of business.
financial and labor troubles, contrib
but that we have done so well in
meeting our troubles and working
back towards normal prices and nor
NAL living.
A small boy and hammer can
make a perfect machine, representing
months Of work by skilled artists,
worthless in five minutes. The work
Of half a century had gone into the
system of domestic and international
trade which was disrupted overnight
by the war. Business friendships of
long standing were broken.
1t is not necessary to review the
train of evils that followed the with
drawa1 of millions of men from por-
ductive pursuits. for the purpose Of
war. Wage scales were abandoned,
efficiency suffered, people swung from
economy to extravaganza and many
other evils quickly developed.
Painful Return.
The contraction necessary to a re-
turn to saner life is, of course, pain
full 1t is not easy to return to the
simple life abandoned under the in
toxicating influence of sudden and abb
normal prosperity.
Nevertheless It seems to me that we
have made progress toward normal
conditions and I hope we have passed
through the worst of the readjust-
ment trials. There must be still fur
Their reduction in costs of manufacture
and distribution and in all living costs.
/ see mo- reason to expect an i'm
mediate return to what we regard as
prosperity in this country, but our
gain will be greater if we work out
our salvation slowly, giving time to
make the readjustment more nearly
uniform in all lines of activity.
