AN HONORABLE CITIZENSHIP

T can think of no more honorable way to rhave earned citizenship than by participating in the recent World war; says Federal Exami- ner John Jackson, who recently examined 15O candidates for citizenship before Judge w. I. Grubb in federal court.
 "A man who was not citizen automatically made himself candidate for citizenship when he served for the United States in the war. Upon receiving honorable discharge he is a can- didate for final papers and the procedure to make him citizen is then very simple"
 Sixty were admitted to citizenship last week, five being ex-soldiers

ARRAs, MoRTE POUR LA PATRIE

From the, Poetry Review, London). Walk softly in this tortured, brick-illed street; The shadowy corners of each shattered stair Once echoed to the fall of eager feet A home was there
 Grim ruin that the laughing sunbeams mock, Where the once furtive rat plays his bold part, The splintered door hangs swaying on its lock, So like broken heart.
 Be pitiful before each house forlorn, Some Womans all was shattered by these walls Where now, upon the wind of every morn, The voice of martyrs calls.
 In wonder church she knelt upon the floor, The raised Host set her gentle heart astirI And fallen bells that swung above the door Sang their clear notes to her.
 Be tender to the pain which left us free; Our English soil felt not the invading tread, But war-swept France, from Alsace to the sea. Is filled with dead.

JULlA MARLoW's poRTIA

Ashton Stevens, in the Chicago Herald and
 Examiner.
 Miss Marlowes Porta is beautiful creature and not deep, was about to say, Thank God, not deep!-and why not say it? There's no reason in the world why the glorious thing should be deep She comes into play court stuffed with dummies with one winning trick, and the nice mechanism of the plot does the crest.
 The balance or the play for Portia is hu- morous love song. And who can hymn Shakespeare song of love and humor better than 'so we'll as, Julia Marlowe of the dimpled chin and heaven-pointed nose? There's reason as the coffee prohibitionists say-for that dent and that tilt. Well, comedy never wore fairer face, and Marlowe is half way to be hundred! !
 Shakespeare may look and sound rather old to you and me who are moderns at any price, but Shakespeare certainly does keep his love-chil- dref young. And I hope for 10 years at least I shall not be called on to publish another an- nouncement of Sothern and Marlowe's re- tirement

THE POISON SQUAD

From the New York Times.
 Among both the admirers and opponents of the Volstead act there will be general sym pathy with these four federal prohibition en- forcement agents in San Francisco who have been suffering from the effects of forbidden brandy which they tasted as a matter of duty. Fortunately none of them was made seriously i'll; but their case throws a little light on the stern ordeals to which their employment 6x- poses them. Tt is sometimes necessary" says the assistant enforcement officer at San Fran cisco, for the agents to drink this poisoned
 quor in order to get evidence against the distiller or seller" This compulsory sampling of the poisoned cup must be the bitterest func- tion laid upon them. Sometimes, it seems, tl,y carry about with them antidotes to mitigate the dangers of the bane.
 "The sympto~'s of the poisoning are general lassitude, loss of appetite and desire to rest" These are interesting, and were once too famil- jar, symptoms. At least we have been assurel by siciologists who made practical experiments in the indicia of post-alcoholc results in ante prohibition evil days that, whether the guilty cause was champagne or burgundy or Scotch highballs whisky sours rum and molasses or any other demonic drink whatsoever, symp- toms like those described at San Francisco were exhibited by the sufferers the next day. In this happier time the public is protected from these malades of remorse. Like Arnold von Wnkelried gathering in his bosom the sheaf of foreign. spears, the intrepid enforce ment agent pours the poison into his unshrink- ing midst. He suffers, but he is strong; stronger than the "potable damnation" he af- fronts and enveops.
 The victims of this vicarious poisoning for the common veal envied though they may be by few base survivors of the old Bacchic procession praised.

FOOL INVITATIONS

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 The Sigma Nu Fraternity, converting in this city, sensibly puts itself on record as opposed to such spectacular and often hazardous "stunts" as those through which young coleg- ians are commonly put as part of the ritual of joining college fraternity.
 The game seems hardly worth the candle Public opinion is generally aroused against the evils of hazing, and the exercises through which secret society neophytes are put leave little to choose between such refinements of torment ard hazing.
 It is not desirable advertisement, either for society or an alma mater, to put on exhi- btion on the public highways such pointless and mirthless maneuvers as the public is often invited to behold. The mummers' parade means more and is great deal better done, and as street show it will suffice. Our col legians would do better to devote their energies to turning out a winning football team or even-though the suggestion is old fashioned and unpalatable-to their books and their lab oratory exercises.

SENATOR PENROSE ONE OF
 NATIONS GREAT MEN

In public life Boise Penrose senior senator seemed to represent the antithesis of the prin- ciples of the democratic party, for he was republican leader who had the ability and who knew how to lead his partisans. Political op- ponents charged him with leadership of reac- tionaries, with being the "boss" of the old guard and with too devoted interest to machine politics,
 And yet Senator Penrose was one of the great men of his generation. His ;e wealth might have kept him in prominent place for short time, but nothing save ability of the highest kind could have kept in position of power and enabled him to wield successfully so many years the inflence he ha
 The man who is chairman of the finance com 1ttee of the United States possesses enormous make or mar the prosperity of millions of his countrymen. Senator Penrose had this power for many years and while we of the democr .tl, party differ from him in his method of using that pow r, everyone recognized his ge----~. t only as political leader who could get results but his genius in the handling of government finance and taxation.
 Personally Senator Penrose was difficult to understand. As bachelor he lived almost the life of a recluse and yet his friendships were of the warmes. and most sincere kind. He was devoted to the public service and his work on the new financial program of the ad- ministraton undoubtedly shortened his life as he plunged into the task against the advice of his physicians.
 His death is loss not only to his own state and to the republican party, but to the entire nation.

LEARNING HOW IT WAS
 DONE IN TEXAS

The excursion of prominent Alabama farm and agricultural experts to Texas this week to study operations of the farm bureau federation in that state in the formation of farm marketing associations so that they may the better know how to do that work in Ala bama should hasten the procedure by which Ala bama farm product marketing will receive the benefit of financial aid from the war finance corporation.
 Texas farm marketing associations have al- only has cotton been financed but hay, tobacco and other farm products. Texas was among tho first state to form marketing associations and not week passes but the war finance cor poration makes additional loans
 Alabamians, by visiting Texas and witnessing for themselves the operation of the marketing associations and learning at first hand both how they were placed on their feet and how they conducted, will be prepared to establish them on sound basis in this state.
 Following the excursion to Texas two days will be spent in Montgomery in a statewide eff fort to set the plans of organization afoot This cannot be done too soon. The new crop sea- son is close at hand,
 Cotton is not the only product in Alabama calling for judicious marketing. There is Ala bamas splendid crop of hay, third in value of her farm productions that finds small | ark . at low prices because it is not properly graae-.
 Marketing is the outstanding need of the farmer. It should engage the thought and eff fort of those interested in farms until it has been achieved.

From the New York Herald
 It is announced by the Sun that another institution has gone the way of the great aux and the dodo. The moustache cup is extinct A person who wished to buy one last week called on the crockery stores in vain. The younger set of clerks behaved unknowingly; the older smiled sadly and shook their heads.
 Back in the sos home was not home without a moustache cup. Father, whose lip draperies were enormous, received one at Christmas Brother William found one beside his plate, placed there in derision by younger brother or an older sister, a week after he started his first 'stache.
 Some of the cups were strangely beautiful, what with their curlycues and gold lettering. They vied with the gorgeous shaving mugs which the barbers of the period sold at outrag eous prices to vain patrons. There was always a dispute as to whether the china bar was to keep the moustache out of the coffee or the coffee out of the moustache, It does not mat ter now, although archaeologists may argue the matter in future centuries if they find one of these cups in the excavations scientists will make in 5000 A. D.
 Other masculine things of the Victorian age are gone or passing Congress shoes are rarely seen, even in the side street show windows. Their devotees may have them made to order. The present generation may not know what Congress shoes were. They neither laced nor buttoned; they had elastic webing in their sides, and were slipped on as boots. Bootjaeks are kept alive only by the god of war; you see them advertised in the army journals Hair oil and that necessary evil, the anti-maesssar, disappeared with the gold tooth pick and the made-up ascot tie. But the derby hat, like the old post office is still with us.

LORD RIDDELL
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.


 Lord Riddell, British newspaper proprietor who represented certain British journals at the Washington conference, charges that the type used in American newspapers is too small, and that this type is a contributing cause to the poor eyesight of many American readers.
 A careful examination of three British dailies of large circulation the Times, Daily Telegraph and Express, will convince anyone accustomed to American newspapers that Lord Riddell could hardly have made the comparison neces- sary to any conclusion regarding type sizes.
 Printers measure type by points six-point being known as nonparel. This used to be the size in common for the news columns of most American newspapers. The size larger seven-point, or minion, is now in almost univer- sal use for American news columns. Editorials are usually set in eight-point, or brevier. Of course, much smaller type is frequently used in advertisements well much larger. This is the rule in advertisements everywhere.
 Assuming that Lord Riddell referred to the news, editorial columns and the body of read ing matter as distinguished from advertise ments, the Post-Dispatch and majority of American newspapers compare favorably with the three British papers selected for compari-  Depression, in the London Times of December 9, two short introductory paragraphs are set in eight-point, spaced wide, or double-leaded, as printers say. But the rest of the long article is in sx-point, point less in size than that used by the Post-Dispatch and most other American newspapers for such news or feature articles.
 Here and there the British newspapers set 8 news article in ten-point and space it literally This catches the eye and gives the impression that the paper is easy to read. But British newspapers offend more than do American newspapers in the use of large quantities of type as small as agate which is five and a half points, or pearl, which measures only five points. II.
 The Post-Dispatch compares favorably with the best printed AnleFican newspapers, not only in size of type, but eligibility which depends largely one qualityAof paper, ink and care m. printing. The copy of the Daily Telegraph, one of the leading British newspapers examined in this comparison, is as poorly printed as a few of our American newspapers of large circula- ton, which constantly try their readers eyes by the use of gray pages or blurred type, due to careless printing. There is room for inn provement in this respect in most newspaper offices.

---------e---------------- RESTORATION OF EUROPE
onto Globe

From the Toronto Globe.
 It is strange how the legend fingers that the United States during the war was growing rich through the troubles of Europe. The truth is that however strong acqusitveness of Ameri- cans may have been, the thing was impossible, because Europe had no wealth to bestow.- As millions of its able-bodied men were withdraw | from productive industry, and as the fruits of industry were being destroyed by war, Europe was forced to draw from other parts of the world such real wealth as food and steel. Be- ing able to give little else but paper in return, it, of course, ran into debt heavily and made the United States creditor nation. But if the latter country hopes to have the debt paid is must accept in it's turn real wealth-that is, the products of the factories of Europe re- stored to prosperity. No doubt some great for tunes were made in the United States during American resources and American labor--cer- tainly not out of European labor or resources, which were not available for export. The war made Europe poorer but it made no other part of the world richer, except in promises to pay. It produced some apparent prosperity in the United States and also in Canada but as greater numbers of dollars were passed from hand to hand, the purchasing power of the dollar de- clned In both countries era of high wages and profits has been followed by one of
 employment Growing rich at the expense of an impoverished country is an impossbility., On the other hand Great Britain, Canada, and the United States all stand to gain by the res toration of Europe

LETTERS TO EDITOR
ATTITUDE oF MINISTER'S

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 "Local ministers are divided on dance ques- tion" is the caption of an article in The Bir- mingham Age-Herald page five, of December 31 1921.
 The statement would lead the reading pub lie to believe that a strong and wholesome number of the ministers indorse the reopening of the East Lake dance hall Just the opposite is true. Out of possible hundred or more protestant ministers, I believe there cannot be found six who favor such move. Such advo- cates make up an infintersimal part of our number. Since the Birmingham Age-Hera1d stands for fair play, permit me to state to the readers of your excellent paper that the ma jority, bordering toward unanimity, oppose the East Lake dance project. Sincerely,
 W. c. HENRY Birmingham December 31 1921

GANDHI IN INDIA
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

TIOHl DIOOhlyH GdSle.
 If one were to compile list of the half dozen most remarkable personalities alive Mo handas Karamchand Gandhi would be included This Indian ascetic has achieved series of re- markable successes in organizing non-co-oper- ation movement which threatens the stability of British rule. He has united religious sects which have been warning for centuries, he has persuaded many Indians to sacrifice everything and obey the injunction of non-co-operation, he has prevented bloodshed time and again by his policy on non-resstance.
 The British Empire has been fighting him with its most enlightened weapon, that of liberal concessions in self government. The new sys- tenn of executive councils based on the Montagu- Chelmsford reports, is now in full effect It di- vides the executive function in two parts with native representatives cooperating in each. The appointment of native, Lord Sinba of Rai- pur as governor of Bihar and Orissa, was a step in the same direction. Lord Reading, the new Viceroy has followed the enlightened and liberal policy which it was hoped to inaugurate with his appointment
 Have these concessions come too late? The Gandhi movement received it's great impetus from two sources The Punjab massacre was a blot upon the history of British rule in India The exoneration of General Dyer, who was rv- sponsible for the massacre, was a worse blot. The recommendations of the Esher committee on the reorganization of the Indian army, ob- viously pointing to the of Indian troops in Persia and Mesopotamia, brought the Moham- medans of India-and there some 70,000,- 000-on Gandhis side
 Press reports differ as to the effectivenesg of the ''hartal' decreed by the non-co-opera- tionists against the festivities attending the re- ception of the Prince of Wales in Calcutta. Certain. British newspapers have always minim- ized the Indian difficulties. It is certain that Gandhis influence has radically changed the character of the reception accorded to the heir af the British throne. Gandhi showed hf power again in preventing the nationalist con- gress of India from declaring that independ- ence should be achieved by any possible and proper means. In respond to his request the congress changed the phrase possible and proper' to read Legitimate and peaceful" It is this continued emphasis upon non-resistance that makes Gandhi such power The British government has not dared to interfere with him lest his arrest give the hot heads full sway and breed an immediate revolution.
 The peaceful struggle now proceeding in h. dia is one of tn emost remarkable in the worlds history. people 3o0,0oo,OO0 strong is strug- gling to win its freedom from alien rule by peaceful means. It has already won large sup port from British public opinion. The con- servative forces of the British government have been obliged to yield point after point. Con- plete dominion status for India may be the next step in the decentralizing movement which is revolutionizing the British empire.
