MUCH LIKE TIE DAYS OF OLE
cised in Modified Form in Two
Southern States.

Ancient tournaments i'm which mailed
knights jousted with Iances for the
favor of a fair lady, are perpetuated
in modified form among the descend
ants of the early settlers of Virginia
and Maryland. Horseback tourna-
ments with lances are feature of al
most every fair and old home day in
the country around Washington
Instead of driving his lance against
his antagonist to unhorse or disable
him. the modern knight of the tourna-
ment attempts to pick three rings sus-
pended from crosspieces over the
course, on the end Of his lance. while
galloping through the course at pre-
scribed rate Of speed.
If he picks all three two white clad
pages, usually pretty girls, escort him

times dozen tests are necessary he
fore or, knight shows his superiority
over IT,. others. He then is permitted
to plcf the queen Of the tournament

EVENTUALLY, WHY MOI
NOW?"

Common fairness by everybody IS one
Of the biggest things needed to restore
prosperity. This fairness must Apply
principally to financial dealings and es-
peclally TO prices and wages. ReadJuSt-
rnent is still far from complete. some
n-icas and some wages are where the!
should be, while many others are st''I
TOO high. A few are too low.
The best thing any business ma" cal"
do right now IS to make a study o. ms

employer can do IS to study the wages

II Is estimated that a coal strike OF
so days will mean 4 loss TO the nat'o"
Of more than 65.oo1.000, IL Of which
will be an Greparable loss and all OF
which will be paid by the public. Yet
there are some who insist that a big

and that the public AMI It's agencies

states, the following sums must be de-
Quoted as a result Of the war: Twenty
five milliards in values destroyed by
the war (amounting originally to 90
milliards, one-half having been made
good by reconstruction) 80 milliards
loss on capital invested abroad; 70
milliards loss of territory, and 10 mil
liards surrendered to the entente In
railways, ships. etc.
The sum left after taking OF these
80 milliards in losses, the publication
sets roundly at 13O milliards gold
marks. In converting gold into paper
marks, 1t states, the following index
numbers based on the prices current
in the home German market should be
employed: Personal and real property,
IS: town landed property. 2; rural
landed property. 10; mining property
10; and goods. ships, etc.. 60.
When the various categories OF prop
erty are multiplied by these figures
their values In paper marks are de-
termined. According to this calcula
ton. the average depreciation index
figure is Is, thus giving 1850 milliards
paper marks as equivalent to 13O mil
liards In gold.

spring, going to the post office with
letters and checks, l met him. He
made me give him the checks, which
later made good to the firm.
"Some time in August he disap-
peared, but that was not unusual, as
he often did not show up for weeks at
time. One day l met one of his
friends on the street. He told me they
had thrown Lou INTO the Mississippi
river because he had double-crossed
them. 1 have never seen him nor
heard of him since"
BY that time Miss Uhler was so
deeply indebted to the firm because OF
money she had taken that she had lost
hope Of ever catching up and repay
ing it without her employers discover

said. "Then l changed my mind and
