ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
"Syp's Surprise, "
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

SyPS SURPRISE.
Nancy, about the size of lima bean
sat on one ear of Gyp the Giraffe. Nick
about as large as a walnut-meat, sat
on the other ear, and FHppety- FlaT
(of the large feet) sat between them on
one Of the little horns on Gyp's fore
head, very small, too
Gyp was listening, although he'd no
idea where the voices Were coming
from.
What do you like best in the cir

They're fine, but there's something
I like better"
"Thes ladies in pink dresses who
jump through hoops" suggested Flip

''NoOo! That's not the best"
Gyp was getting much interested.
And curious! He was almost sorry
he'd left the circus. now. He'd no idea
folks were so fond of it! But after
ALL what was the difference. It was
the elephants that people liked the
best. Gyp was convinced that he could
have answered Nick's question long
ago. Why were the others so stupid :?
Suddenly Flippety-Flap said. 81

Gyp nodded to himself. They've

and eat peanuts
"Camels. them"
"Still wrOng!"
The others guessed rhinos, hippos,
lions, tigers. seals and what not. All
wrong!

carelessly in a heap on a chair, part
Of the things sliding off on the floor.

]. 3. PERKINS RESIGNS

The resignation of James B. Perkins
from the office of u. S. marshal for
the northern district of Florida was
not unexpected. Mr.. Perkins for
some months has felt that his duty
to his family and himself made it inn
perative that he leave Pensacola for
dryer climate for his wife's sake and
for a more remunerative position for
his own sake.
Mr.. Perkins decision to act on
necessity will receive the full sane
ton of all his friends because they
readily admit that his first duty is to
his family and that his next duty is to
make the greatest use of the talents
which he has. But at the same time
that his decision is accepted as right
many and many Pensacolians will be
sorry to see Mr.. Perkins leave the
city. He is the type of man most
needed-active in the civic affairs of
the community. a good team worker
and at the same time a great leader.
James B. Perkins will be missed.
Perhaps his place can be filled. That
remains to be seen, but no matter who
takes up the load which he will lay
down the men who have worked in
harness with Mr.. Perkins will find It
is necessary for them to learn new
methods and tactics.
The Journal regrets that Mr.. Per-
lSins is TO leave Pensacola. He has
been a strong man and good man.
We wish for him wherever he goes all
the good that may come to man
friends and the opportunity to be of
service. There are no greater gifts.

PRESS COMMENT
Sympathy, Not Recognition.

| Army and navy officers refused to
allow members Of the regular forces
or reserves to march in uniform in the
Boston Evacuation day parade because
the flag of the irish provisional repub-
lie was to be carried in the same pa
rade.
A society of ministers in Cleveland
protested against the mayors action
in inviting the mayor of Cork to that
city and giving him an official well
come.
These actions, together with others
of the same character. offend many
who are working for the cause of Irish
freedom. These people refer to the
Declaration of Independence. recall the
visit of Benjamin Franklin to France
asking for assistance at the time of
the American revolution and consider
their case proved.
There is an important distinction
which 1t is we'll for all Americans to
keep in mind. For friends Of Ireland
to come to America unoff1cially, ask
ing for the unofficial assistance Of
Americans, is all right; it is absolutely
unobjectionable from the American
point of view, and QUITE righteous from
theirs, for them to hire halls for the
purpose OF explaining Wn6Te IIey SCanQ
in the matter, to try to win sympathy,
to obtain, perhaps, gifts of money
from individuals or societies not con-
nected with the government, federal,
state or local.
For the official representatives of
such governments to give official
sanction to the Irish cause is a totally
different thing, incompatible with true
Americanism. This country cannot, as
matters stand, give recognition to the
provisional Irish republic nor to any
such movement in any country. Of
flcials who pretend to do so exceed
their prerogative.
Americans have always liked the
Irish. and have been warmly sympa-
thetic toward the cause of Irish free
dom. They like to know both sides of
important questions and they are glad
to have the Irish explain theirs. OIL

The owners complain loudly of what
they call the passivity the gov

cused by the socialists of having tried
to assassinate the leaders of the agi-

The aims of the political parties who
head the struggle are divergent. The

who did not fight noticed the growth
of their value as individuals. became
capable of organizing themselves and
got accustomed to a standard Of life
(wine. coffee, bread), greatly superior
to what the Sicilian peasants were
used to. The reserve officers belong

produced on the minds of all by the
ideas of greater justice. the promises
of the government during the war to

Trader Brings Back
One Of Mysterious
Blond Eskimo Tribe

NOME. January 1.-Apukta-
wana, a male member of the
far northern mysterious tribe
OF blond Eskimos," the dis
Covery of which has been
credited to Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son, Canadian explorer. recently
was brought by traders to
Nome from his home, on the
southern shores of Coronation
gulf, located on Canadas s
northern rim. Nome residents
thought that only in his dress
did he differ from the Eskimo
of this region.
Joe Bernard, Nome trader,
who brought the blond" Eski-~
mo out, said he intended to take
him to the states to show out
siders what sort of people the
strange Eskimos are. The ma
tive was of stout build, with
copper-colored skin, straight
black hair and dark brown
eyes. Bernard said he was an
example of the males Of the
blond" tribe.
Some members of the tribe,
Bernard asserted, have reddish
brown hair and light eyes. They
are scarcely light enough, how
ever, he thinks, to be described
as blond. 1t was recalled here
when Apuktawana arrived that
Stcfansson never described the
tribe as blond" and always
SAID newspaper men exaggerat-
ed his story and gave this mys-
ferrous tribe the name. Stefans-
sons description was similar
to that of Bernard's.

New Day Seen for Southern italy
as Poor Struggle to Own

BY EDGAR ANsEL MOWRER,

Copyright. 1921
ROME, January From one of the
best known Italian writer's. who pre-
fers to remain anonymous. 1 have re-
ceived the following article on the
Italian land situation:
The metal workers have been un-
able to bring about a revolution in
Italy; will the peasants be any more
successful?
Slowly a great revolution is taking
place in Italy in regard to the land.
perhaps more than in the industrial
world, but SO far it is quite peaceful.
One-third of Sicily has been occupied
by the peasants and 100000 hectares
(24O,OO0 acres) have been conceded in
all Italy by the government. without
any serious conflict. Only, here and
there. in Sicily, the owners have or
ganiZed white guards, in the form of
maf1a (secret associations) who as
sassinated some of the peasants lead
ers. but this was really more private
vengeance than a social conflict.
In north Italy things proceed diff
ferently. the social conflict is more
bitter and the conflicting parties are
better organized. One must dis
tinguish between them. They are two
different worlds.
Few Control Much Land.
In Sicily, the most typical region of
the south. small proprietors are found
only on the coastal region, where the
ground is fertile. Inland the ground is
divided among few proprietors. The
latest agrarian statistics showed that
one-Sixth of the island was divided
among 113 persons; one-third of it
among 7S7 persons, Notwithstanding
its 100000 inhabitants. of whom one
half. roughly, live by agriculture.
These large landowners neither live
on nor cultivate their land. They
live in the Sicilian towns, in Rome
and even abroad.
They rent the land to a parsonage
typical of Sicily, the gabellotto (the

Odors In Apartments.

There are times in the city dwelling,
especially in an apartment, when just
before the arrival Of guests the hostess
is conscious of a deadly odor stealing
DER the scene.
Instead of relying on the incense
burner which must be carried from
room to room In such an emergency
and which often sends out only a fleet
ing fragrance, it is good plan to keep
on hand a little oil Of cinnamon. Fill
q shallow vessel with water and place
it on the stove. When 1t boils put in
q teaspoonful of the cinnamon oil. A
spicy odor will soon fill the rooms. The
water should simmer slowly, but not
boil violently after the oil is added.
1t is said that oil of lavender and
other fragrant oils will give the same
result. 1t is rather amusing to keep
ones method of pertaining the home
q secret, as this will add to the indi-
viduality of ones setting.

HAS MANY CLAIMS TO FAME
Island of Jersey Has Been Called
WonderIand-ReaIIy Is an
Interesting Place.

The island of Jersey is famed for
many things, remarks the "Under the
Clock" cOlumnst Of the London
Daily News. lilies, golfers, won
ders," potatoes and cabbages ten feet
high, to mention only few of Its most
obvious specialities. But. Its chief
claim to fame Is that it is the residu-
airy legatee Of the old Norman duchy,
therefore the inheritor (and presum-
ably the prOprietor) of the British
empire. Jerseymen undoubtedly fought
in Williams victorious army, at Hast
ings, and to this day the island has
a constitution and laws which have
been little altered since the reign of
King John, and which, on occasions,
have even dared to defy the thunders
Of the privy council.
The inhabitants are most intense
Iy loyal people. and the two greatest
blows that can be offered TO their
pride are, first, to confuse their island
with Guernsey, and second, to call
them French. Fancy the JOY Of the
Jersey contingent which was welcomed
into Fermoy with the strains of the
Marseilaise Jersey has never been
conquered; England has; the deduc-
ton Is obvious.
