When the Music Study club an
nounced that it would sponsor a
musical comedy to be produced in

question has been asked, "who and
what is Katcha-Koo?" Interest has
been stimulated by the coming of the
directors who will stage it and in
the rehearsals which are being held
daily in the B. L. E. hall.
The story is a pretty one, full of
interest, and is as follows:

"Made in Germany"

Just as the war which wrecked the
civilized world was made in Germany, so
is the retrlbutlon which now impends
over Germany's head being made in Ger
many. That is the conclusion reached
by Mr. Frank H. Simonds in one of the
most interesting presentations of Europ-
can conditions which this exceptionally
well-intormed writer has of late produc-
ed.
The premises on which Mr.. Simonds
reaches his conclusions are very simple.
Either Germany must adjust herself to
facts as they are and meet the RESPONSE
bIllties which these facts entail, or face
extinction as an Industrial nation.
And what are these facts to which
Germany must adjust herself or face in
austria! obliteration? They are simply
the facts to which she solemnly pledged
acceptance when she signed the YER
sailles Treaty She then recognized her
responsibility for the war which she had
wantonly thrust upon the world; she
pledged herself to disarm under certain
clearly specified conditions; she pledged
her word to pay for the devastat ton she
had wrought.
And on every one of these solemn
agreements she has WEIGHED. She not
only repudiates responsibility for the
war, but she lnsolently asserts that she
Will never admit that responsibility.
She has used every means within her
reach to evade disarmament. She re-
fuses to pay the bill of damages which
she agreed to pay, and she persists in
that refusal.
All of which means that Germany is
now taking advantage of the economic
Wreckage which she has brought on the
world to emerge as the economic victor
IN the war that she lost on the battle
field. Says Mr.. Simonds:
But the German has not been willing
to pay or submit. He has refused money,
he has chung to his arms wherever possi-
bic, he has redoubled his threats of Ire.
venge, of the recovery of Alsace-Lor-
ralne, of the future destruction of France.
Ii Germany will not pay for the havoc
she wrought in France, the only thing
lett for France to do, Mr.. Simonds be-
heves, is to 60 into Germany and take
what property she can get her hands on
TO strip Germany, in other words, just
as Germany stripped France of every
portable form of property within reach.
Then perhaps for the first time would be
brought home to the Germans fill con-
seriousness of the fact that they and not
the Allies had lost the war.
And that is precisely what France
may find herself constrained to do, in
the opinion of Mr.. Simonds. if Germany
persists in her insolent refusal to fulfill
her pledges.-Harvey'S Weekly.

LIFE SAVING STAMPS
HELP FAMINE VICTIMS
Each "Mercy" Sucker Purchased
for Three Cents Provides Food
for One Day for a Chinese.

Sales of Life Saving Stamps" by
the American Committee for China
Famine Fund for the benefit of China
famine victims have reached total OF
thousands of dollars at the end of the
first month, and already the money Is
actually saving lives in China. Or
ders during the first month aggregated
more than 100000 stamps. which
will mean-at the rate of cents for
each stamp-S30O.00 for the Chinese
when the complete returns have been
made The stamps are intended to Sc
cure a multitude of small contrihu-
tons from persons who will not have
an opportunity to contribute in other
ways. The campaign for China is the
greatest single philanthropic effort
now before the American people.
Every state in the Union is now CO.
operat ng in the life saving stamp
sales, and special committees are at
work in more than 1000 cities through
out the country. The circulation Of
the stamps is being effected by sales
organizations composed of officers Of
the Woman's Foreign Miss onary So
cieties, assisted by commercial organi-
cations, schools, churches, Boy and
Girl Scout Camps, Y NJ. and Y. w.
Christian Associations, fraternal
lodges, hotel assoc ations, boards Of
education and other volunteers inter-
ested in the movement to extend a
helping hand to sister republic in dis
treSs.
House to house canvassing for the
sale of the stamps-which are intended
to be placed on the backs of letters and
packages-has proved the most effec-
tive method in the smaller commune
ties In the big cities the stamps have
been sold to business houses, which
are using them on their outgoing mail
and packages. A nominal quota of ten
stamps for every adult has been set by
the committee, but in many centers
this already has been passed. If I'M
able to obtain stamps through local

AN EASTER SERMON PREACHED
IN VERSE.

An Easter innovation was introduced
in the Church of the Redeemer, Univer-
sallst, Hartford, Conn, Sunday, when its
venerable pastor, Rev. John Coleman
Adams, after expressing the hope that
his congregation would not deem him
eccentric or sensational because of it,
proceeded to clothe his entire sermon in
verse. His subject was: 'Lord, believe:
help thou mine unbelief," and the closing
lines of his address ran:
That which we build on earth, in that
new land
Must there our dwelling be; as when of
old,
Our Pilgrim Fathers plapned their humble
town,
1t was enacted that within the house
Himself had built, each man himself
should live.
So in the homes our souls have built
within
They still must live, till they have better
built,
A howell for the soul that evilly wrought,
A mansion fair for him that served his
God.
For all that lies beyond? IT'S in Gods
hands,
And being there, our destiny is safel
Safe from the wreckage our wild wills
might make;
Safe from the blindness of our mortal
eyes;
Safe from the bitterness of human hates:
Safe from the threat of everlasting pain;
Safe on the road to harmony with God
Out of this earthly night of fear and
doubt,
A heavenly morning | expect to greet,
It's early CLEAN still growing to bright
noon
Splendor on splendor, Joys beyond our
dream,
Drowning the memory of old aching
hurts,
AS drenching rain the dust of dreary
droughts.
Eye hath not seen, ear heard. nor thought
conceived,
What the far future holdeth in reserve.
This all we know, it is fathers thought,
In love conceived, in heavenly wisdom
wrought
So runs my creed, the faith of autumn
days
Life's tiercest fires have not sufficed to
burn!
So when the Lookout calls, LAND Ho!
The heavenly shorep'
My soul shall answer, "'Tis my fathers
realm!
go to life and not to DEATH ALPS WE'LL"

SPRING NEGLIGEES
Trousseau and Other Outfits. Informal
Dress Increasingly Artistic and
Practical.

NEW YORK, April Is. No part of a

for informal home wear. If carefully

are at their best in such garments, and
individual preference for color can be in

her grandmother.
Lines and Material.
Loose flowing lines developed in ma
terials that drape well, do not easily

sential qualities demanded for any sort
of negligee. Whether it be a simple lit

THE HOPE OF AMERICA
By Calvin Coolidge

In free republic great government
is the product of great people. They
will look to themselves rather than gov
eminent for success. The destiny, the
greatness of America, lies around the
hearthstone. If thrift and industry are
taught there, and the example of self
sacrifice oft appears, if honor abide there,
and high ideals, if there the building of
fortune be subordinate to the building of
character, America will live in security,
rejoicing in an abundant prosperity and
good government at home, and in peace,
respect, and confidence abroad. If these
virtues be absent there is no power that
can supply these blessings. Look well,
then, to the hearthstone; therein all hope
for America lies.

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-Presidents
of the United States have Joined, for
the first time in the history of the
country, in an appeal for a philan-
thropic enterprise. President Hard ng,
ex-President Wilson and ex-President
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims of China
One of Pres dent Harding's first off
cial acts after his Inauguration, taken
when he had been in the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half of Americas sister republic in the
East. President Harding said in part:
"At this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment in my administration, desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf of the starving people of large
sect on of China.
"The picture of Chihas distress is
so tragic that I am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
to this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In apo nting the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor in the
White House, eX-President Taft. as
one of the members. and Thomas W.
Lamont of New York, as chairman,
President Wilson said in his procla
nation:
"Not only in the name of humanity,
but in that Of the friendliness which
we feel for great people in distress,
| venture to ask that our cit zens shall,
even though the task of giving is not
today a light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
helm"

As a lifelong reader of current
events the writer does not join in

pyre of Prof. Albert Einstein's rela
tivity. Horse sense may not be very
scientific, but 1t tells some great
truths at times; it may not reach
the differential calculus of infinite
space or the race track of the plan

Tagine something getting nearer the
moon than the earth, and then the
gravitation would be to the moon
and not to the earth. Who can prove
1t? IL there Is one great center Of
gravity for all the planets, as the
Newtonian text books teach. IL Is
based on generalities or speculation.
II Prof. Einstein claims that each
planet has a center of gravitation,
then his reiativity is possible.
Carlyle says: Every noble work is
at first impossible" and II requires
no Solomon to affirm that old es-
tablished theories have had tre-

century. 1t must be admitted that
at no period of the world has there
been such facilities of knowledge as
