|DO YOU KNOW

There are more than twenty
thousand different kinds Of paper
money being issued. There are
eight thousand national banks,
each of which has an average of
two and a half different bills
printed with its name on them.
There are different bills for each
of the twelve Federal reserve
banks, and in addition to these,
we have United States Treasury
notes.
The Seven Sleepers were the
heroes Of an ancient legend II
is supposed that during the perse.
cution OF the Christians about
$50 A. ID. these seven Christian
brothers Of Ephesus took refuge
in q cave. Their retreat was dis
covered and the mouth Of tho
cave walled up. Two hundred
years later the cave was acci-
dentally opened, and the men
emerged, having slept through
centuries as though but single
night. They found the Christian
religion accepted in the city
where they were honored and
feted, and where all Of them died
on the same day.

A "Fagin's" Victim,

TIE is reprieved. The grim walls
of his death house cell no
i j longer chill with terror the
heart of eighteen-year-old Angelo
Tumbarello.
The boy has been reprieved pend
ing investigation of the claim that
he is the victim of "Fagin" who
enslaved him with cocaine and used
him as a tool. There is an abyss
of pathos in this tragic story, re-
peated in varying degrees wherever
the drug peddler plies his nefarious
trade.
1t remained for the drug
"Fagin" to probe the depths of ma
ternal woe. He not only destroys
the body, but he degrades past
redemption the spirit of her
son. At the schoolhouse door he
recruits his little subjects. He
blights a nation which raises its
young to fill prisons, insane asy-
lums and early graves.
For though we temporize with
the evil, the fact remains that our
per capita consumption of narcotics
is seven times greater than that of
any other nation; that foreign ships
carry the contraband cargo to our
shores, and that addict ranks are
being daily augmented by chill
dren.
Drugs warp the moral fiber. A
generation of child drug addicts
means the disintegration of our So
cial fabric. AS its children are, so
is a nation. Let us therefore show
no quarter to the drug "Fagin, !"
who is not only maternity's arch
inquisitor, but is the precursor of
national dishonor.

Subsidy and
Bonus Pledge

. EFT the reactionaries make no
mistake. Congress is not
IL going into the November cleo
tions without passing both Bonus
and Subsidy bills.
They are going to pass the Sol
diers' Bonus because the country
demands it as simple act of JUS
tice to it's defenders. The measure
has already passed the House. The
Senate is obligated to vote on it as
soon as the tariff law is passed.
The country no less demands pas
sage of the Ship Subsidy bill. Its
defeat or delay would be triumph
for the foreign enemies of the de-
yelopment of an American merchant
marine, a triumph in which Amer
lean Congressman seeking re-elec-
ton would hardly care to partici-
pate.
The House leaders have promised
to bring the Subsidy bill to vote
at the same time the Senate votes
on the bonus; namely, when the
tariff bill is through the Senate.
The obligation and the program
are perfectly clear. 1t is difficult
to see where certain newspapers
find the basis for their predictions
that either subsidy or bonus will
fail.

THE REAL
BAD MAN

The actual "bad man" of
the West was "short on con-
versation," says Philip Ashton
Rollins in his book about the
cowboy and his habits. He
spoke infrequently, and when
he opened his mouth what he
said was to the point. He
usually talked in quiet tones,
for his nerves always were
well in hand. His nerves had
to be thus in order for him to
do the jobs which he essayed.
All actual bad men" were
wholly untrustworthy, were
natural killers, moral and
mental degenerates, inhuman
brutes who would slay for
personal gain or merely to
crafty a whim. All of them
were among the horse thieves
and train robbers, the "hold-
up men" and road agents."
but far from all the followers
of these vocations were low
browed criminals or "bad
men," Though most of the
persons in these callings
might kill when ION duty"
and performing the functions
of their crafts, many of them
when "off duty" were very
human, warm-hearted and
companiable beings, normal in
everything except moral atti-
tude toward horses, cattle,
public vehicles, and bank
safes.
Wyoming's Hole-in-the-Wall
Gang might plunder the Over
land Limited, but it more than
once succored a solitary
traveller who was in trouble
upon the trail. 1t rarely
robbed either the men it liked
or any one in deep distress.
Personal popularity and dire
suffering each tended to in
sure immunity in the Cattle
Country; and this not only to
spare the innocent from being
robbed, but also to keep the
guilty out of Jail.

In a single haul. and a thirty. pound cod was

yard seiners discovered huge quantities Of a
tiny fish resembling the Norway ,sardine.

w Commission is considering
w public requests that the
center trolley poles of the Capital
Traction Company on Connecticut
avenue be removed, because they
are not only dangerous but un-
slightly, it would not be amiss If
the members of the commission,
who are also the Commissioners Of
the District, would take up the mat
ter of the condition of that thor
oughfare in between the tracks of
the same company on Connecticut
avenue.
The Commissioners have fought
hard to get Congress to make the
necessary appropriations to pave
Connecticut avenue in suitable man
ner, in keeping with the large
amount of traffic on that thorough
fare. Congress has been niggardly
In its attitude, as it has been toward
the upkeep of streets and avenues
throughout the District. Before the
war our thoroughfares were in un-
\ usually good condition, but with
the coming of the war, bringing
shortage of labor and high prices
for materials, streets and avenues
were allowed to 60 to pieces, and
today are disgrace to the Ma
tional Capital.
There is widespread complaint
that the roadway of Connecticut
avenue, between the street car
tracks, is in deplorable condition
beyond Cleveland Park. The COM
plants are that even where the
paving is good on each side Of the
avenue, the center, where the tracks
are laid, is not in similar condition.
Auto drivers bump into bad ruts
and cross and recross tracks which
stand well above the street level.
The District authorities cannot
compel Congress to do justice to
Washington in street improvements,
but they have it in their power to
compel the proper upkeep Of streets
and avenues between car tracks.
Existing law requires street railway
companies to pay the expenses of
repair between the tracks and for
short distance on each side. The
law is manifestly unfair and should
be repealed. The street car COM
panies have no monopoly of traf-
fic in the center of streets upon
which they operate. The law was
passed before the automobile be-
rar.c a huge factor in transporta-
tiUu.
Car companies, however, are still
required to submit to the terms. So
long as the law remains effective it
is the duty of the Engineer Depart
ment of the District government to
see that it is complied with, and es-
pecially on important thorough
fares, much used in traffic.

<<THEY were just lovely to
u.s." said Mrs. William
i Howard Taft, in describing
her dinner with English royalty.
1.-THE Queen talked to me quite sis
terly and the King exchanged
funny stories with Mr.. Taft"
We earnestly hope that some
enterprising newspaper corre-
spondent succeeds in getting Mr..
Taft to tell those funny stories.
They belong to history. While
it is true that a fierce light beats
upon throne, the common peo-
pie have not yet succeeded in in
stalling dictaphones in royal pal
aces and, as consequence, the
world does not know what kind of
a story king can tell.
If they were good stories we can
congratulate His Majesty upon hav-
ing had such a good listener as Mr..
Taft. The ex-President s winning
smile and hearty, spontaneous
laugh would delight the heart of
good story-teller.
We wonder whether King George
told the one about the man who
tried to interbreed kangaroos with
elephants or the one about the
drummer from Chicago.
Come to think of it, if King
George had sat down to swap
stories with the Kaiser and the Gar
in 1914, perhaps we wouldn't have
had a war.

At a recent meeting Of the

of America, DIR. Alzamon J.
Lucas, founder Of vocational
therapy, told the assembled
doctors, in all seriousness, that
it was an easy matter to fix the
sex of the unborn and to deter
mine its career.
It must be understood that he
means not merely foretelling,
but absolutely ordering frcm
nature the sex desired. We
will no longer have to accept
the sex of our children table

us, but order them a la carte

The Salesman's Easy Job

THE salesman has an easy job, he's al
l. ways on the 60;
The "house" pays for his tickets when he
travels to and fro;
He seldom has to stay at home, but, weight
ed down with junk,
He hits the high spots on his way from
Hicksville to Podunk,
And learns to sleep on anything that may
be called bunk.
THE Salesman lives a merry life,
L Deny il, II you can!
He hardly ever sees his wife,
If he's a married man.
Oh, he's a earefree, lucky chap,
And joyous to the brim,
For every tank town on the map
Is home, sweet home, to him.
THE salesman never fingers long, for he
l. is paid to roam;
He gads week in, week out, and spends his
Sundays far from home;
He learns to eat in places that are filled by
sundry smells;
His thirst is quenched with water drawn
from typhoid breeding wells,
And no one ever wants to buy the things
the salesman sells.
THE salesman is a lucky wight.
For see the 10y he gains
While travelling by day and night
On stuffy local trains:
He hits the low spots and the high.
A lively heel he shakes,
And no one ever wants to buy
In any town he makes.

Not a single member of the delegation wears the red fez Most Of the dele gates have been laid aside their as trakhan caps and are so convention ally dressed in derbies and European overcoats and suits that the curious Swiss are unable to distinguish the Turks from other guests at the Palace Hotel.
 The only Oriental touch about the Turkish party today was provided by several Turkish newspaper men at tending the conference. They still wear bright fezzes. Several of the Turkish delegates are red haired and so unlike the stage Turk that curious with the Angora delegation. Dr. Riza Nur Bey, the second member of the delegation and a well known physi- clan, has light hair and blue eyes.
 Ismet Pasha, the Turkish national ist foreign minister, stated positively in a conversation with the Associated Press correspondent, that the Entente is recognizing the Angora delegation as tho sole representatives of Turk ish interests. The Allies will not receive any delegation from the Sul- tan should such group come to Lausanne.
