The Legion and the slscksrs

indignant because the government has taken
no action against the slackers, and have
called, or, rather, defria nded. somc action

those men.
Il IA an insult TO every member Of the
American Legion that these men have zone

Of disloyalty. The thousands Of young men

their positions leaving their homes. even
giving up their lives for the cause OF liberty.
arc entitled to know why thoss who re-
fused to obey the law are not punished.
The law was not made for the overly
reslous or for the pussy-footed fien WIN
either did not wish 10 or were afraid to
cay no, but for all alike. When the gov
snmeht found that II was not able to Sc
cure an army except through the draft.
then the law stepped In and said that II
recognized no fayorltisrn. but meant 10
tsht all alike. and those who we're physi-
eally At would have to go.
Several hundred thousands Of young men
refused to obey the law ana remained at
home and held lucrative positions while
other young men went to the war and we're
compelled TO bear all the suYefihgs dts
COMFORTS and inconverlences attendant upon
such a conflict. It Is very unfair for the
government to let these slackers no nn.

Of encouraging the breaking Of the law that
gives the vicious element Of our country the
feeling that our laws are mere "scraps Of

Of roheinia. At some time early In the
nineteenth century the name came to be ap-
piled to persons OF unsettled habits who did
not observe the conventional rules OF So
ciety. Bohemia the haunt Of artists
and students with little money was IN the
Latin quarter of Paris, and fourished es-
pecially In the period Of 1880. The classi-
cal description Of 1t Is contained In Henri

Sir-In answer to II. c. weidlsr. who
asks why the square Of the sum Of con-
secutive numbers from one up equals the
sum Of the cubes Of the same numbers,
Hold the opihion that as mathematics Is
fundamental there Is no further reason for
It than the proof given. We can as well ask
why two times two are four. Tho proper
question would be to prove that It does, 6na
not to ask why.

that there are enough factors to work with.
Perhaps II Is necessary to use higher
mathematics. The problem is as follows:

drawn. one TO each corner OF the triangle,
The lengths Of these lines are three, Ave ana

There are many clever women IN this
