LLOYD GEORGE has written anal note
to De Valera, the press dispatches Indicate
But they fail to mention how many postscripts
he may add to i'll
NONE is NEEDED. HISTORY WRITES THE
EPITAPH OF EVERY Man WORTHY

Sir: The word tombstone suggests the word
epitaph. believe you are capable OF writing
one and You might try your luck on one that
has waited one hundred years 20 be written.
Is the time close at hand. or viii 1T wait one
hundred years more?
"I have but one request to ask at my
departure from this world-it is the char
ity of silence. Let man write my
epitaph for, as one who knows my
motives dare now vfndicate them, let not
prejudice or ignorance asperse them.
let them and me repose in obscur-
ity and peace, and my tomb remain IN
inscribed, until other times and other
men can do justice to my character
When my country shall take her place
among the nations of the earth then,
and not till then, let my epitaph be writ
ten. I have done.-Rebert Emmet
T. E. R.
WRITING an eptaph for Robert Emmett
now would be a violation of his expressed
wish. The best one could do would be to
write the epitaph and mail it to No. 10 Down

MATTE SCOTT married L. A. Harvest in

Saith the Prophets.
[ From the Anoo Grotto Ceremonial Program
A black fez is the proper dress for Proph-
ct when attending a Grotto function, and
Prophets who can conveniently do SO are
quested to appear properly clothed. But don't
worry about the clothes only be sure to wear
your feZ.
APROPOS of orr statement t'other day that
the Associated Press furnished the service and
the United Press supplied the Jazz, submit
the following. sent over the United Press
leased wire yesterday The unfortunate author
is Ernest R. Calhoun of Los Angeles, Cal. His
colorful lines now form Exhibit A in the court
records, being accepted evidence upon which
Mrs. Calhoun was granted divorce. Attend 4
WHEN MY WIFR's AWAY.
OF all the insidious
Temptations invidious
Devised by the devil for pulling men down,
There is SO elusive,
Seductive, abusive
AS the snare to a man when his wifes out of
town.
He feels such delightfulness,
Stay-out-all- ightfulness
And sure-to- get-dghtfulness-
l own it with pain
A sort of back-rakishness, 2
What-Will- you take-ishnesS-
It's hard to explain.
His wife may be beautiful
Tender and dutiful:
It is not her absence that causes delight,
But the cursd opportunity,
That baleful immunity
That scattars his scruples as day scatters night
WE regret that we do not conduct a col
yum in Los Angeles. Ernest, we surmise,
would make an excellent contributor to a
Shaft of Sterilization or Mound of Mendacity
such as this one.
THE United Press had regular field day
for poetry yesterday 1t also put on its wire
a poem introduced in the divorce case of Lee
Shippey, Kansas City newspaper man who &C
CURED little love in Already while in France
and burst into lyrics about her when he came
home.
That gives Us an idea We can achieve
publicity for our rimes if only we
can write poem that will move Tho Lady
Who Hates to Darn our Socks to sue for
divorce.
