THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TREATY,

Another five-foot shelf of books has
been suggested.
1t will be made up entirely of vol
umes under the general title, 1.-THE
Truth About the Peace Treaty."
The suggestion is not bad, except
that the shelf ought to be capable of
extension to an indefinite length, judy
| ing by the rapidity with which the
/, peace treaty literature is coming from
the presses.
During the treaty negotiations. and
for some time after, the world was led
, to believe that the only men who knew
what was going on at Paris were the
big four-Wilson, George, Clemenceau
and Orlando.
Nearly everybody else disclaimed all
! responsibility for the famous or in
famous document on the ground that
all Of the important decisions upon
which it was based were arrived at in
big four secrecy.
Now it seems as though, despite the
much advertised secrecy, about every-
body who was in or near Paris in
those hectic days considers himself
QUILTED to tell the truth about the
treaty"
Naturally, each one has a different
truth to tell, depending on his ma :
tionality and what he wants to prove.
Having read all of the truths" up
to now, we feel that we know less
about what really happened than be-
fore we read any Of them.
incidentally, 1t is to be noted that
the, four men who really know what
the truth is have not taken their pens
in hand to tell it.
II. and when they do, it will be
worth reading. which is more than can
be said of most of the truths" by self
appointed truth" tellers.
Probably the most worth while of
the truths is the latest one by Andre
Tardieu, who. according to his book
was in the big four holy Of holies sew
eral times.
But about the best that can be said
OF his Truth About the Treaty. is
that 1t Is not as unconvincing and in
adequate as the others.

The Coronation of NapoIeon-David
1t was just one hundred years age
in the month of May that Napoleon
died at st. Helena. May 5, 1921, was
the hundredth anniversary of that pit
iful end to greatness, that had fallen
and glory that was dinmed II
seemed, when that proud spirit passed
as if there was nothing left to testify
to his mighty deeds. At least it seemed
that way, in those countries which had
ever been inimical to the little Cor
sican, but not SO in France There
his portraits were ever honored Ever
in the cruelest hours of his overthrow
there were countless soldiers to be re
marked, who stood at attention before
the Napoleonic paintings in the
Louvre.
Among those heroic works, the Cor
onation. by David has been criticised
and admired. David the greatest
artist of the day, intended to immor-
talize the most glorious event in the
life of Napoleon: SO he chose that in
slant in the pageant of the Coronation
where Napoleon is about to place the
crown upon the brows of the Empress
Often this painting has been criticised
because of this. Some carping critics
have found fault, that it represents
rather, the coronation Of Josephine
than of her imperial husband.
But it pleased the Emperor; for it is
said, that when he saw it first and
after he had studied the impressive
scene, which the artist had so vividly
delineated, and which is familiar to us
all--he turned to the painter and said:
monsieur David this is well-very
well done. The Empress my mother
and the Emperor all are correctly
placed. You have made me a French
knight. I am happy that you havs
immortalized the proof of this lcve
that wish to testify ward,--that is
my great love for my wife, the En-
press"
Another death OF an imperial exile
has occurred in Holland She who was
mother and wife before she was En-
press, has just died at Doom; and the
pathos of her misfortunes has aroused
general sympathy for her; but not for
her husband-the Hohenzollern. He
stands before the world as the arch
type of conceited ambition, and over

MY MISSION
BY Berton Braley

Let those who will, be tragical;
I crave the fortune magical
To brew a joyous ichor
With a smoker
In each taste,
"A potion highly risible
That makes the back teeth visible
And starts a sudden shaking
And a quaking
Round the waist!
oh, what is half so glorious
AS merriment uproarious
That gives a robust SAVIOR
And a Drawer
Tang to life?
A glee that Is vociferous.
Gives clouds a tinge auriferous
And freshens up your spirit
When you hear II
Mid the strife?
Let bards with miens funeral
Make out Of sour material
The draught without litter
That is bitter
When you quaff,
But such muse lugubrious
To me seems insalubrious-
II an audience l gather
I'd much rather
Make EN- laugh!

Value Of Fairgrounds

More than 1000 Fairgrounds and
recreational centers in the United
States are helping to keep boys out of
mischief, teaching girls swimming and
other athletics, and showing adults
how to benefit themselves physically
and mentally by play.

phasized IN reports which have come
to the Playground and Recreation as
ISOLATION from all over the country as
one OF the most important results of
the establishment of Fairgrounds In
cities. These facts are given in the
year book of the association just made
public.
The chief Of police Of San Francisco
believes the establishment of neigh
borhood recreation centers is a con-
structive measure toward suppressins
the crime wave. He asked the com
munity service to extend it's recrea
ton because he believed that the
wrong use of leisure time had much to
do with the Increase in crime.
Granville Lee, supervisor of the
Portland, Me-, recreation commission
says that bad boys behave themselves
better during the playground season
and also that there are fewer street
accidents Of children because of play
grounds.
The playground directors of Bay
City, Mich, have discovered that sum
mer activities on the Fairgrounds have
practically eliminated all swearing.
cheating and stealing among the chill
dren. They note with satisfaction that
the spirit of fair play has helped to
put the playground bully where he be-
longs and boast of an appreciate fall
ing off Of delinquents.
Cases are reported where mothers
have been amazed to note that their
children did not catch cold, although
they played in the snow, that the
youngsters have gained in weight and
appetite. In one case a father for
babe his daughter to play because it
made her eat too much.
One thousand children were taught
TO swim in one week at Tacoma.

learned to swim at Seattle.

college was a son, which said:

For the elephant now walks round.
And thus did the song proceed, for
ever citing the fact itself as the ex-

And he said, That is a fool song, and
is hardly worth four years of college.
And I said, Consider the ding an
SIGH, the elephant. He is the thesis.
He is tangible, ponderable, undeniable
reality. But behold how he resolveth
himself into an antithesis, even as
Hegel taught. He is not statick. He
walketh around. That should prepare

is not unrelated. He is preceded by

What Do You Know About Your
Own State Flag? Ever See It?

Saturday is Georgia Day, and
an occasion that calls for retro
spection and introspection on Geor-
gia and Georgia things and insti-
tutions. One of the revered pos
session Of Georgia is the Georgia
flag, yet thousands upon thousands
of Georgians have never seen their
flag and do not know what it looks
like. How many of the readers of
this can tell of what the flag con-
sists? If you don't know, the fol-
lowing history, taken from the
Georgia code, will give you the
information, which might be worth
while clipping out and keeping:
An Act of the General Assem-
bly,, entitled "An Act to declare
and establish the Flag of the State
of Georgia" was approved 0cto-
ber II, 1879 (Acts 1899, p. 114.)
The description of the flag as CIV
en- in that act appears in the Code
of 1895, Vol. l, Sec. 1149. That
section is as follows:
'The flag of the State of Geor-
gia shall be vertical band of blue
next the staff, and OCCUPYING one
third of the entire flag; the re-
mainder of the space shall be di-
vided into three horizontal paral-
lei bands, the upper and lower of
which said bands shall be scarlet
in color, and the middle band
white.''
In 1905 the coat of arms Of the
State was added to the flag. This
was done in section of an act etc

pie again to the fact that every
dollar received in cash donations
or from the sale of produce will go
to feed starving children" asked
Chairman Dykes of the Times-Re-
corder. Not a cent of it goes to
pay any expenses whatever. The
time, effort and expense of all per-
sons connected with the raising of
this fund are donated and do not
come out of the money raised.
Thus we get 100 per cent results
from the gifts that are to go to re-
lieve the terrible suffering in Eu-
rope, and thus is the maximum
number of lives to be saved"
Responses are coming in to
Chairman Dykes in pleasing vol
ume, he reports, although the total
yet is rather small. He hopes and
expects the volume of donations to
increase within the next few days.

produce donations will be made

known. The coupon is reprinted

pective donors.
