We don't quite follow Mr.. Love, but
the notion that his cnest would have
been still more threatening if he hac
not restrained it with tight clothes
This may be true, and it suggests the
another play Mr.. Love might make
some arrangement with the Prudential
people.
However, this is still the best of all
possible countries for the critic, as we
gather from letter from Viola I. Par
adise, who writes:
Aren't you glad you're not critic
in Czecho-Slovakia? The attached
comes from The Weekly News Sum
mary issued by the Children's Bureau
in the Department of Labor: 'Czecho-
Slovakia.-On January 1, 1920 law
came into force providing for the open
ing of the public Libraries in all COM
munities, each inhabitant to be taxed
certain amount for their sup
port. Immoral literature, detective
stories and American Indian storie,
are barred, and works attacking
whole classes of the population or the
Czecho-SlovaA state. Libraries cannot
be maintained in houses where alcohol
is handled {Soziale Praxis, November
II 1920)"
To be sure, the law against mixing
alcohol and literature seems a good
one. The common run of books GER
tainly lacks the sparkle of light wines
or the body of strong drink.
Come to think of it, there is dis
tressing absence Of comment about
books in this particular column to-day.
But there is still room for a message.

you may recall, is the insular spot first

fuse it with The Swiss Family Robin

to finish reading.
And Juan Fernandez Island is con-
spicuous to US on account Of two

Wild Plum
(Reprnted by demand,
They are unholy who are born
To love wild plum at night,
Who once have passed it on road
Glimmering and white.

Or as though a cloud Of stars
Perched like ghostly birds.
They are unpitied from their birth
And homeless in mems sight,
Who love better than the earth

Well Mr.. Harry S. Black, arrested
Thursday on charge of violating the
Volstead act, was dismissed from GUS
tody yesterday, or, as the headline
writer's say, Freed in Rum Case. There
were thirty-three cases of whisky
aboard Mr. Blacks private car; and the
porter testified that he had put the
liquor aboard without the car owners
knowledge and consent. Thirtythree
cases may be drop in the cellar to
Mr. Black. On this assumption, we
hereby announce that we are going to
try to get thirty three cases away from
him without his knowledge or consent.
A porter who could get thirty three
cases of liquor aboard private car
without the owners knowledge or con-
sent could, like the man in the story,
successfully hide bass drum.

NEW YORK, September 5.-Employ-

Of the United States would follow the
passage by Congress of the Townsend
Winslow railroad funding bill, Eugene
Meyer. jr., managing director Of, the
War Finance Corporation, asserted in
a statement in which he considered
ployment problem. He said he be-
lieved his estimate of one million men
was conservative.
"A considerable part Of the existing
unemployment" he said. ''is due to the
position in which the railroads find
to make their normal purchases and
do their normal repair and equipment
work.
Many Employed Directly.
Not only would the railroads, by
the passage of the bill, be put in the
/; position of meeting their unpaid ac-
counts already past due. but they
would be able to go ahead with their
/ maintenance Of way and repair of
equipment work. This would directly
employ a large number of men,"
Mr.. Meyer also pointed to the indi-
| rect labor involved in producing and
transporting lumber for ties and iron
| and steel used for maintenance and
repairs.
| The enlarged purchasing power of
the men so employed. the statement
said. would tut large additional num-
! bers of men to work. and the number
