The Old Toy-Booth
lEro1r ~ Mcca,,rel

fFron The Mecsure)
MEET for town where pennies have
w few pairs
In chjldren's pockets. this toy-booth with
It's wares
Jews harps, and masks, and kites.
And paper-lanterns with their farthen
lights
All in the dim-lit window, and within
Things mernory-seen:
The walls that have the patches Of the
damp,
The counter where there burns tbs
nurky lamp;
And thea, the counter and the shef
between:
The dame
Measer, rrey-polled, lame.
So she IS here since times legeSary,
A bird Of little worth-a sparrow, say,
Whose cribs IN some neglected passage
way, u
And ones left wondering who brings
crumbs to her:
Soft-yoiced and friendly spoken, she
viii hop
The inches Of her crib, this narrow shop,
When you step in to be her customer.
HOw's custom Bad enough! She had
not sold
Six kites this wiAdy year she'd hsys IL
told:
She sold kites by the gross in days
a-gone;
Marbles, none at all:
The children had no money to make cali.
But she's not tragica,-no, not s bit;
She laughs as she talks to ne--ttat is it!
Her eyes are Ike the farther candless
light
In paper lanterns when they burn
bright;
Her voice IS like the twittering notes
upon
The mounth-held Jews harp when thu
plectrum's s strung;
And she herself IS ike kite uphorns,
A paper-kite held by string that's
worn!
How strange to think that she is still
inside,
After so many turns of the tide.
Since this lit window was q dragons eya

Since this dim window was dragons

Desired Results

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 7 vas so amazed on first read
ing rumors of the Edison tests" that
I wrote to Nj. Edison and said that
believed he must have been misquoted.
A reply from his assistant has Just
reached me and find not only that he
is using these "tests," but that: He
finds that his own method of selecting
employees is more than satisfactory. as.
it is producing the desired results"
. If the, desired results" are to elimi-
nate ali applicants except those who
have retentive memories and who are
not inclined TO specialize III any par
ticular field, then, perhaps, the case is
stated correctly. On the other hand,
feel that most men Of serious pur-
pose and real capacity are constitu-
tionally Indifferent to the hodge podge
of unrelated facts and itinerate formu-
lac called for in these Edison tests"
Psychological tests are limited as TO
their revelations respecting vocational
aptitude. Personally, believe that no
Psychological test can give the effective
results. for personnel selection and
guidance which can be confidently
looked for from the application of
proved rules of vocational analysis by

War Nfongers

Trouble breeders have been at
work in the Philippines, preying
upon the same hysterical streak in
mankind that imagined every con-
crete tennis court to be a German
gun emplacement during the war.
With the apparent desire of stimu-
lating racial hatred, the report was
circulated that the japanese had
landed high-powered guns at Davao,
on the island of Mindanao. Although
the location was of nature in itself
to render such a rumor absurd, it
persisted until the Philippine con-
stabuIary made a formal investiga-
tion.
The official report of the provin-
eial constabulary reads as follows:
With reference to the fourteen
large cannon reported to have been
found in the interior of Davao, / have
found none except 4 few old obsolete
lantakas Moro brass cannon Of
large caliber now being used as park
decorations. Some of these were
found by Spaniards in the hands OF
Moros in 1848. when Davao was con-
quered. Others were brought to the
place afterward"
How soon Will some one discover
that the old gun at the Battery is a
high-powered, long rifle trained on
the Statue of Liberty

Only Makes n Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought OF
it, but the fact must be apparent, to
every one. that constipation is caused
by lack OF water in the system and
the use Of drastic cathartics, like the
old-fashioned cathartic and liver pills,
make bad matter worse, as they
take too much water out of the sys-
tenn. Chamberlain's Tablets are much
more mild and gentle in effect and
when the proper dose is taken, their
action is SO natural that one can
hardly realize that it is the effect of
q medicine.

METHODlSTS DRIVE
FOR EDUCATION

That the educational institutions
for which the Methodist Episcopal
church, South. has launched the edu-
cational movement to raise $4,000
600 for endowment and better equip
ment are worthy Of the great Under
taking is evidenced by the interest
they have aroused in the minds of
in the North as well.
The announcement, which has Just
been made, that the General Educa-
tion Board has offered 100000 to
the endowment of Wofford College.
Spartanburg, S. c., provided s3OO,00O
is raised by the college between this
and December 81, 1921, is hailed with
delight by Southern Methodists.
Wofford College is one of the in
stitutions that is to be benefited by
the Christian Education Movement of
the Methodist Church, South. The
approved askings of Wofford amount
to 100000. OF this sum, more than
100000 will go to her endowment,
luub IIlSuTlnS tlLS oileI Ol the IeH-
eral Education Board.
Wofford College is especially fa-
vored by the General Education
Board. because it is against the policy
to give to denominational institutions
DR.. Henry Nelson Snyder, president
Of Wofford, however, presented the
cause of the institution so forcefully
to DR.. Wallace Butterick, president,
and DR.. E. c. Sage, assistant sec
retary OF the board, they waived the
rule, DR.. Buterick declaring that no
other Colleges cause had so force
fully appealed to him as that of Wof-
ford.
Methodists OF South Carolina can
boast of other institutions just as
worthy as Wofford, and these, too,
will share in the s33,000,OO0 fund
which the Methodist Church, South,
proposes to raise May 20 to June 5.
inclusive. On these dates Methodists
Of South Carolina will be called upon

caiion.
The quota for the South Carolina
Conference is $1.149,500. The quota
for the Upper South Carolina Con-
ference is S1.117,500. This is n total
Of S2.267, 900 for the Methodists for
