| Prince George Of Bavaria and
J Archduke Leopold Ferdinand Of
Austria were without royal jobs,
and had no money. One, the
| prince, has become monk in the
! Benedictine Order. Soon he will
be locked away in a little monas-
! terry in the Bavarian Alps.
/ The duke has gone on the vaude-
vile stage, and will do his little

i Which Of the two is to be envied

! work for others. One will dance
and sing to amuse others. Both
may be quite happy, for men are
variously made. Both the mole
and the canary enjoy life.
:. Mr.. Daugherty, Attorney Gen.
eral, realizes, although President
Wilson did not, that Eugene v.
Debs, whatever else he may be, is
not ian ordinary criminal" Mr..
Daugherty sent for Mr.. Debs, and
mr.. Debs travelled from Atlanta to
Washington soithout guard, talked
to the Attorney General, and, un-
guarded, Uent back to his prison.
Ordinary criminals" sent for in
that fashion would not reach the
Attorney Generals office.
Eugene Debs' opinions are diff
ferent from those of a hundred
million Americans. But Debs is
honest, peaceful, has never injured
any other man. 1t does not seem
probable that Mr.. Daugherty Hill
advise or that Mr.. Harding will
permit keeping such a manin sail.

there, with war ended, and politi-
cal prisoners in other countries
released.
Society thieves" it appears,
are stealing jewelry from their
society friends" One lady lost
an opera glass that cost three
thousand dollars. Another lost
gold pocketbook studded with dia-
monds. All very sad, like the
crumbled roseleaf in the bed Of
the epicurian.
The society friends it seems,
lose their jewelry when they put
It down to spend an afternoon
playing bridge. The police are
notified, but that does no good.
Police are never notified about the
TINE lost at those parties, but
THAT wouldn't do any good,
either.
The rat, one of mans worst
enemies, if he could talk and hire
Levy Mayer or John Stanchfield,
would have a counterclaim. They
used the rat in the trenches be-
cause they are sensitive to poison
gas and told the soldiers when it
was coming. In war hospitals
they dissected rats in experiments
on pneumonia.
Now the Crocker cancer labo-
ratory, established with money
taken from the gold hills in Cali
fornia, announces that it has dis
covered a way to inoculate rats
with cancer, at wholesale. Two
hundred and fifty az time, thus
giving opportunity for wholesale

1t is horrible to think of un-
fortunate creatures doomed to die
of a loathsome disease. But take
your choice: Ten thousand rats
diving every year of cancer for a
FEW years, then cancer conquer
ed, or hundred thousand women
and fifty thousand men diving of
cancer every year INDEFINITE
