A Hint for Mr.. Hughes.

WYE OFTEN wonder what kind Of an am
w bassador old friend H. L. Mencken
would make. Inasmuch as he has the sometimes
unhappy faculty Of telling the truth, he might not
be so good. George Harvey got into peck of
trouble when he first went over there by telling
the truth. This is something a diplomat should
lie. but when it comes to telling the truth about
any subject the real diplomat should change the
subject.
Menck, who is over there, never takes
the trouble to change the subject. He believes it
is easier to say what he thinks than to hunt around
for some insane subject about which he equivo-
cate. When cousins heard that Mencken was
coming to them they arranged to have
very good time indeed, and Menck is not disap-
pointing them He is giving a good performance
and, not being in any official capacity at all, he
can go as far he likes.
America is rotten with money" he said as
soon as he landed. We don't know of anything
he could have said which would have thrilled his
European hearers much more The mention of
money gets under the European skin quicker than
any other form Of persihage Making this crack
Immediately upor arriving, Mencken was sure to
be treated with respect during his entire visit. No.
We don't know what kind of an ambassador our
celebrated literary prophet would make, but the
English will find that he is probably the most in
teresting caller from this side that they have
tertained in some time.
If he does not pay his respects to the Euro
peans just before he takes the boat for home
shall be much surprised

The Effect of a Symbol.

TINE report of miraculous waters in we'll in
/ Essex, England by whose action the sick are
said to be healed, will afford some support to the
insistence OF modern psychology the compelling
power OF symbol. informed the au-
thority OF the Manchester Guardian. Cures ef-
fected by drinking supposedly magic waters or by
looking upon sacred picture are sufficiently COM
mon to be accepted part OF experience They
arc. one may suppose. the fruit OF faith in which
symbolism is the motive power. NJ. Coue's heal
ing was founded upon mingled appeal to WILL
reason and imagination; his aim was to make the
personality of the sufferer strong to ignore and so
defeat the suffering. There was in this case no

that self-assertion was stimulated by an act OF

Such an act or process is a challenge to the indi-
yiduars mastery of himself, particularly if it is to
be maintained day after day. To minds less capa-
bic of abstract activity the symbol-often some
water to which curative power is attributed-is
obviously an aid to faith.
Social psychology has recently concentrated 2

in stimulating political belief and its conclusions

'The Clash" by Storm Jameson.
Uittle. Brown & Coz.
In this story, Mrs. Jameson has
aimed at a dual success as propag an
dist and novelist. The vitality OF
the narrative and its skillful tell
ing should mark a successful novel,
But as cementer of Anglo-American
relations we doubt whether It will
perceptibly affect the present entente

how International amity is forwarded
by the tale Of an unfortunate love
AFFAIR between an indiscreet English
matron and an American officer.
A young English wife with n nus
band In France. a handsome Texan
flier. That Is the lineup OF the semi
tragedy of The Clash" The usual
sort Of thing happens and Is garnished
with much gable about the differ
ences between England and America.
There is also some talk about a mar
rage when things blow over. But
the armistice occurs and the English
husband comes home. He is very
agreeable sort Of person and his wife
decides that a humdrum life in dear
old England Is better to pin to than
the compellant but rather too strenu-
Gus joys Of the Texan aviator's love.
Everything is wound up very properly
and conventionally.
All this Is not to be taken as indi-
eating that THE Clash" is not much
Of a novel. Compared to the usual
output of commercialized fiction. II is
very fine and living bit of work.
II Is written vividly. sharply. The
impact in II is traceable more to the
authors gift of saying things origi-
nally and lyrically than to any capa-
bility Of vision. Elizabeth, the over
nurtured and spiritually precious CEN
trail figure Is as lamentably self-cen-
tered and narrow in her way as the
arrogant and brash Jess Cornish. who,
We are given to understand. is Mrs.
Jameson's idea OF a typical young

A Chance for Real Economy.

@NE Of the greatest wastes in America is due
" to fire. Every year millions of dollars in
property and thousands Of lives lost through
this agency. The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States tells that in 1921 the toll in lives
was $1,000 while the monetary loss exceeded
$5oo,oooooo. With the growth of cities and con-
sequent congestion in building the FIRE losses have
gained by leaps and bounds, the statistics for last
year showing losses approximately six times as
great as forty years ago.
In themselves these statistics are appalling,
but how much worse when experts declare a large
percentage of the fires could be prevented with a
little care. lighted cigarette stump still glow

garrets stacked high with trash old clothing and
other inHammable material or a matchbox con-

a few of the things which contribute to America S

So serious has become the fire that
Fire Prevention Day, started years ago in a small
way, has grown to be national institution, pro-
claimed as such by the President. The date Sc

that Chicago practically razed by flames. In
his proclamation this year, the President calls upon
all citizens to stop and give thought to the fire
menace and the best way to avoid it. 1t also is
recommended that special attention be given the
subject in the public schools and in all industrial
establishments.
A short lesson fire prevention may be the
means of saving many lives and great property

AT SIGHT OF GOLD
RECALLS OLD DAYS

at Sight of Gold.- by Cynthia
lombard (Appleton.)
Some years ago one used to get
lovely romances for a dime. True.
they were bound in paper and not
printed extraordinarily well. But
they abounded with romance,
hatred. love, revenge, gold, delight
full heroes and lovely heroines, all
stirred together in the most in
genuous stew.
We thought the halcyon days of
in AT Sight of Gold" one recog-
nizes master hand that success
fully emulates the best of Bertha
NJ. Clay's works. We say master
hand advisedly. for assuredly moth
ing but an anatomically sound hand
Is needed to produce this sort OF
fiction. But there is no difference
Miss lombard doesn't allow her
literary products to be peddled for
a thin dime. Two bucks" Is the
present price of talent of the Mary
J. Holmes order. Again we ack-
nowledge the wisdom OF the late
Mr.. Barnum.
ANY elucidation of the plot or
subject matter OF AT sight of
Gold" would irrreparably spoil the
suspense Of the first five chapters
for the reader who has just reached
or is slightly beyond the Laura
Jean Libbey stage. But there are
lots of thrills, much beauty and
virtue and a properly correspond
ing amount of wicked and un-
scrupulus. Read this fine story
and feel that you are getting your
worth-if you borrow It or
get II from the public library.
