IRWIN COBB DESERVES BETTER.

president Hardings action in bestowinr a
commission in the officers reserve corps upon
Irwin Cobb must have come as a severe blow
to this well-known author and humorist. No
one likes to be denoted After the war more
or less demotion in the regular army was nee
essary in order to get back to normal But it
is difficult to see why it should have been
deemed necessary in the case Of SO delightful
parsonage as Irwin Cobb. The president
should have borne this in mind and it SHOULD
have been General Cobb or nothing
Irwin Cobb came from Kentucky. As eyery-
one knows. no man ever left Kentucky and at
tanned fame in other fields who failed to win
the distinction of being elevated to the rank o,
colonel. Kentucky colonies are 4 part Of tho
poetry and history Of our great background
famous in song and story alike. Forgetting
all this, the president comes along and makes
Cobb simple major. A pretty hard blow for
one who, in addition to having been Ken
lucky colonel, is chevalier Of the French Legion
OF Honor and Doctor of Laws (Dartmouth).
Our sympathy goes out to Doctor Chevalief
Major Colonel Irwin Shrewsbury Cobb. The
president hadn't orter done it."

MEANING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.

Somebody who had been investigating the
carosities of the English language notes that
the phrase two or three" always means three
or more, and that lone or two seldom if ever
means one. The list of familiar phrases that
belle their statement of fact could be much
extended In q minute" for instance, means
anywhere from i've minutes to half an hour
Our critic has pointed out that THAT reminds
me OF q story" means Now you keep quiet
while tell my joke. II hold no brief for"
means II am now going to defend while
do not wish to appear critical" means But
l am going to have my say out anyhow" "Of
course, it's no business Of mine" means II am
simply devoured with curiosity. my con-
duct calls for NO apology and needs NO explain
alton" Is the usual introduction for an apology
or an explanation. mo one could possibly
have mistaken my meaning" is what We say
when some one has mistaken it. ExactIess in
expression 10 a difficult art. As they used to
sing in the famous old opera Pinafore; "Things
are seldom what they seem, skim milk mas

GEORGE NUTTINc.

Positively all we know of George Nutting
is that he was motorman, that he died re-
Gently in Richmond. Calf. at the age Of 81;
that he separated from his wife 50 years ago
and never saw her again; that every month
through that period he sent SIS to her home in
Auburn. Me-. and that his vail leaves her $4,000
in addition to life insurance and loving words.
We like what little we know of him. We
should have to admire his thrift, If nothing
else. A man who could spare SIS month out
Of . motormans wages, besides maintaining
himself and paying insurance premiums and
saving up $4,000 must have been resolute
practitioner Of self-denial, to say the least.
His record Of conservative finance would be
had sources of income in addition to his motor
mans pay.
Knowing nothing Of the circumstances Of
that long-ago parting. We should be careful not
to assume it occurred through no fault OF his.
Prejudiced in his favor as We may be. we could
not wish to think unjustly of lady about
whom we know even less. Possibly we are
justified in regarding 1t as significant that
considerate Of her welfare and devoted to her
support as he may have been, he seems to have
perceived\no compelling reason for going back
to her.
What We like most about George Nutting,
of course is the faithful devotion that all the
years and all the miles could not tempt away.
Say. If you like, that it was one Of those cases
where absence is more conducive to fond at
lection than presence would be. We say q
husband in California who could show such
lifelong fidelity to wife in Maine is the sort
no woman ought to let get away.

Daily Poem
CHIvALRY.
By BEkTON BRALEY.

Alas, all chivalry is dead!"
The Good Old-Fashioned Person said;
Once ON a pedestal there stood
The image of True Womanhood
But to the ground she has descended,
Her former glamour now is ended;
Our courtly manners have departed,
Since all this Feminism started"
"Oh. pinle." laughed the modern woman
We always were extremely human,
And chivalry was mostly blum
And irsincere and tiresome stuff.
You worshiped us, or 80 you cried,
But at the same time you denied
Our simplest rights. our dearest wishes
Stay home you said. and wash the dishes.
Life on . pedestal was boring,
In spite Of III yDur words adoring,
And though this truth may seem to jar.
You Ike rs better as we are!
Not Angles whom you used to praise,
But pals and comrades through your DAYS.
And that. dear sir, you must agree.
Ia worth much more than Chivalry!"

YOUTH TO THE HELM.

Americans can ignore the fact that in sew
eraL parts Of the world young men and young
women are facing the serious problems of
public questions. Italy. for instance, is gov
erne4 by an organization of young fellows
scarcely out Of their teens. In India great ma
tionsl movements Of boys and girls in their
teens are. carrying on propaganda to solve po-
liticil and industrial problems. France and
CerI6eny each have their associations of youth
whoTare fighting for the rights of their own
coming manhood and womanhood. In our own
nigh schools and church schools the youth Of
America are troubling their heads with social
md political problems that generation ago
were not topics Of youthful consideration.
II As natural that the boys and girls want
to tshe hand in public affairs, for we have
been tmpressing on them the ideas of citizen
ship They are cognizantN OF the fact that the
mem and women Of today are making slow pro-
gress In eliminating war. The next great war
conc1rns the high school boys and girls more
thany3t does the older generation. We have
been teaching them civics and giving them a
smattering of economies and they hope 70 enter
into the many industrial and commercial &C.
tivitt5s. They want social order that will
protect them against having their dreams
snattared by strikes. panics and wars. Today
oar awakened youth are judging the civiliza-
tion that we are about to turn over to them.
Tnissis perhaps the greatest tragedy Of the age
Youth comes only once In lifetime.

B,rs N Gr,adpa,s Chest

Somebody who disltkeS slang
criticized the practice Of calling
germs or bacteria bugs" because.
for one reason, germs are plants
rather than animals. I've heard
that point raised before. Germs
may be more vegetable than AMI
mai in nature, but take the typhoid
germ. for instance, and watch 10 In
a hanging drop Of water or other
fluid squirmming about with its
innumerable arms, legs or flappers
and you'll decide the vegetable
kingdom is q liveIier kingdom than
you had ever been led to suspect
Anyhow grandpa had bugs In his
chest. The bugs were the essen-
tial, primary and indispensable
cause Of his chronic bronchitis.
There were other contributing or
predisposing factors, which We
have already dealt with in his
case. Now he seemed to have
nothing left to interest his doctor
but the bugs. Nature having been
propitiated by grandm's hygienic
reform was now an ally and it
seemed only fair to. offer nature a
helping hand to finish the Job.
We'll have another bacteriolog-
ical examination of the sputum,'
said the doctor. Save some in this
jar today and Wen send it to the
laboratory"
As this entailed no sacrifice of
constitutional rights and no altera-
ton Of his present program, the pa
tient acquiesced, and day or two
later the meteorological report
came back, according to which it
appeared that grandpa was harbor-
ing in his bronchial tubes lusty
colony of that ubiquitous enemy of
civilization, the pneumOcOccus,
alias the pneumonia germ, alias the
bronchitis germ, alias the quinsy
germ, alias the coryza germ, and
several other aliases. And along
with this versatile villain, the re-
port disclosed, was very common
pus producing microbe, named
stphylococcus pyogenes aureus
capable OF any dirty work from
pimples and boils to sore throat
and septicemia."
! "Not SO bad. just two kinds OF
bugs in the old chest" cbeered the
doctor.
IF they're as bad as they sound
I'd better arrange for a long ride,
bloomed grandpa. But see here

wouldn't" said the doctor. mo sucf
medicine has ever been found, thai
is, nothing that will kill germs il
the body without damaging the
body or killing the man. But We
can help your old friend nature dis
pose of those bugs"
Accordingly the bacteriologis
prepared an autogenous bacterin OIL

the germs which he had found
present. This might be called a
