q would not be surprised to hear of the recall of Venizelos by the Grecian government at any time,' said Arthur Greenwood. T believe the Grecian people have realized the mistake which they made in turning him down. It is not a case of per sonal like or dislike, but Greece Is in bad financial way and needs the cooperation of the allies.
 "Venizelos is the man Greece should have in her dealings with the allies. Suppose I had a good cook. but my cook did not suit my patrons. In that case l would have to get another, wouldn't l? Venizelos is able to handle our affairs better than anyone else. That is all there IS to it. It would not surprise me If he was recalled in the next week or ten days"

The change might quite as well have been of that sort
But there is mother change worth speaking Of The root
lido is common in Greek, and enters as a compound into our words
idiom, " 'idiomatic, - "idiopathic" and others Its meaning is
ones own or zones self" Naturally, our English derivatives
from this root are not al. adicctives and adverbs; there IS a noun de-
scripfve of the man who acknowledges no standards but his own, and
seeks no others welfare than his own.
That word, as everybody knows, is idiot" II means
nothing more nor less than a completely self centered person.
Now, IL is Interesting to see how this word has modified its mean
ing. The isolated man who lives the isolated life, the life Of complete
selfhood, cannot be that Of a person Of much learning so, by Jeremy
Taylor's day, the word idiot was used of ignorant persons; and he
said that the scriptures were good for them as well as for the learned.
But the word still changed, and by the time Blackstone wrote his
great lawbook, he defined an idiot as "a natural fool that hath no
understanding"
Really, IL yp stop TO think of IL, that definition is not wholly
strange. II one could find a man completely satisfied with himself,
completely willing To learn nothing and receive nothing from any
other human being and determined TO do nothing for anyone else.
there would be some justice in maintaining that the change in the
meaning e of the word had done no great violence to its generic idea.
A social world Is no place for a completely self oentered man.

BACK ON THE TRACK

V0uR cost of living is determined. in the long run, By the prices Of
raw materials Those prices now average only a fifth more than
in 1913. I'm other words, fourldfths Of the rise that took place
during the war has been cancelled.
This is revealed by the price index published BY Bradstreets
which covers the prices Of &c principal necessities Of life-such as
mcialA coal, breadnfnfs, hides. leather. textiles and oil.
The Bradstreet index takes a given amount Of each - these com
ln0dities and adds the price. How that price rose from rs pre-war
level TO its highest wartime point and what II Is now is shown in
these Bradstreet figures:

Boston Professor
 Says Dancing Is
 Natural Pleasure
TRepubIJcan A. P. Leased Wirel

BOSTON, Jan. 22-Dancing is an instinct which is very much better expressed than suppressed, said Prof. E. c. Wilm, head of the department of at Boston university, in a defense of natural pleasures today.
 Dancing serves a useful social end" he added. "It gives married people the opportunity to associate with persons of the opposite sex under conventional circumstances and it helps uphold con- ventional society. Dancing is an in stinct like eating, fighting and mating.
 ''Modern dancing is partly sensual partly an expression of love for rythm and partly much needed exercise. All of these functions are natural. Dancing has not been abolished by the blue law reformers and yet it is one of the few natural pleasures left
 "The over emphasis that is some times placed on dancing is the result of inhibitions Unless normal instincts get an expression or have some com pensation they are apt to burst out in unusual forms.
 For instance, all women have the maternal instinct and the bachelor woman, her instinct unsatisfied and re- pressed, compensates by taking a pas sionate interest in animals, or else she becomes a champion of feminism.'

KAHN PROPOSES PLAN TO REVISE
 REVENUE LAWS
IRepublican A. p. Leased wlre1

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Otto H. Kahn, New York banker in an ad- dress here today, advocated an elastic sinking fund to amortize the country s war debt. He assailed the war revenue laws of 1917, "re-enacted essentially unchanged for 1918 and 1s1s," as a breeder of grave harm by the mex orable test of actual experience.'
 Continuing. he said:
 Tn offering nS suggestions for tax revision, I shall assume that the az gregate required to be raised by tax ation for the next fiscal year will be in the neighborhood of four billion dol lars. I believe with Prof. Edwin Selig- man that 1t is not necessary to con- slider ourselves rigidly obligated to set aside some s300,O00.0OO each year as a sinking fund to amortfze the war debt can see no reason why that debt should be retired with undue rapidity
 T think we should be justified in treating the sinking fund provision elastically, that is to say, when times are good and revenues abundant augment that fund literally and in lean years suspend its operation in whole or in part.
 "On the other hand, I believe that the floating debt should not be funded into bonds but should be paid out ot taxation. But in this case, too, I sec no occasion for the rigid application of a doctrinaire principle. Also tC pump an additional issue Of govern ment bonds into an already over supplied and reluctant market would | have a disturbing and widely unfavor able effect, not only on the value o our existing war bonds but or th, whole investment situation
