Embarrassment in Badness.

Novelist H G. Wells, congratulated
on his magnificent head of hair, said:
ut is embarrassing to be bald, es-
pecially when you go to the hairdress-
er's to get your hair cut. Perhaps
you've heard of the very. very bald
man who took his seat diffidently in a
BARRIERS chair.
" sShaye, sirY' said the barber.
I" No--er-haircut.'
"The barber with loud laugh patted
the bald mans bare scalp with both his
hands.
You don't want haircut, sir he
said What you want is shineP
This poor fellow on another ocea-
sion,s Mr.. Wells pursued, visited an
other hairdresser's. Literally he hadn't
hair on his head. He just had one

SHOW THE BOYS

In New Haven there is movement on foot to interest the High school boys in New Haven industries. The Chamber of Commerce has taken the matter up through it's educational committee, and is seeking the CO., operation of the heads of industrial concerns.
 The advantages to be gained by the boys, and the teachers for that mat An understanding of the work of fac tories and plants and their manage seldom understood by boys before they leave school and would make it possi- not they were sufficiently interested in this line of work to make of it a life study. Moreover no matter what line of endeavor boys select for their life work, a knowledge of industry gained thus early in life would be of great value. .= The plan is not without its ad- vantages for the industries as well. The greater the number of young men in city who understand their busi- ness, the greater the choice officers of factories and plants have when they need men in the various departments of their works.
 Granting that every particle of knowledge gained regarding the prac- tical matters of life is an added asset, this suggestion carries one more pos sbiity for the aiding of boys in wise choice of life work, and in a broad CT view of affairs whatever that choice may be-

THE WAY OF POLITICS.

Usually the stand to be taken by the national administration on cer- tain matter may be traced and the ultimate position predicted by noting in what way the signs point
 Senator Mccormick introduces a resolution in the Senate asking for information from the State depart ment regarding the amounts beAlg spent by European countries for armies and other military expenses Senator Mccormick is very close to the Chief Executive. Strong in his ideas, possessing striking personal ity, he knows the value of regular ity" when it will count. Although one of the irreconcilables in the fight against the treaty of Versailles, he sees now the political value of being quite regular as far as President Harding is concerned. It may be taken for granted that he did not introduce his resolution until he was sure the President would approve.
 Now comes a statement from the White House deprecating the large military establishments abroad. It cites the army of Russia, for in- stance, which is COOL 900 strong. It is perfectly safe to mention Russia, for it makes little difference wheth-

GERMANY KEEPS AT IF

Gently, but persistently, reminders should be given that Germany keeps right on doing things In all the dis cussion of world affairs as talked Of at the Washington conference; in all consideration of the wisdom or folly of the United States planning to at tend or to refrain from attending the conference at Genoa, Germany and her works ought not be forgotten.
 Now comes the news that German shipyards, according to Lloyd's Regis ter of Shipping, exceeded in 1921 their best previous years in ship construc- ton; the shipyards have more than regained their pre-war production. In 1913, for instance, launchings aggre- gated 465, ,00O gross tons, while in 1921 the gross tonnage launched was 509,0e4 or 2,000 tons more gain than the gain for all others countries ex-
